Podcasts about forty niners

Nato Green started hanging out at San Francisco comedy clubs when he was in eighth grade. Nato's parents met when they both still lived in the suburbs of Chicago. They got married in 1968 and moved to San Francisco soon after that. Nato says that they “were in the counter-culture, but bad at it.” What he means by that is they didn't take their subversive lifestyles all the way like many of their peers did. But they were definitely left-leaning folks. They settled in Noe Valley, which was quite a different neighborhood back then. It was much more working-class than it is today. Think: blue-collar Irish- and Italian-American families. They had their first kid, Nato, and five years later, their second, his younger brother. When Nato was in middle school, his parents split up. He went with his dad to live at 22nd Street and Dolores, and then up to Bernal Hill. He split time between there and his mom's house in Noe Valley. Nato is quick to point out that Bernal Heights was also very different back then. There were even unpaved roads on the hill when he was a kid in the Seventies. Today, Nato uses history and some pop-culture references to date his own memories here in San Francisco. He remembers things like the Mosone/Milk murders and ensuing “White Night” riots, to name just one. The Forty-Niners' string of Super Bowl wins in the Eighties are another. Nato admits that he wasn't the best big brother. He lists off some of the SF schools he attended—Rooftop Elementary, MLK Middle School, and Lick-Wilmerding High School, where he went on a scholarship. His dad worked to the SFUSD for 35 years and worked on desegregation, among other things. He also taught in SF public schools. Nato says he was a “sensitive, depressed kid.” He read a lot, especially comic books. He graduated from high school in 1993, when the local music scene was overtaken by thrash/funk. Bands of that genre were plenty. Nato went to those shows, where he was able to, anyway. He wasn't yet 21. The first indie comic book store in The City was on 23rd Street in the Mission—The SF Comic Company, and two doors down was Scott's Comics and Cards. Nato became a Scott's regular. Others who hung out there a lot became his buddies. The SF band Limbomaniacs lived next to Scott's. Nato goes on a sidebar here about how bands in the thrash/funk scene never really blew up, mostly owing to what a uniquely live experience the music was. In 1990, when the Niners won the Super Bowl in a blowout, the Limbomanics played with guitar amps at the windows of their Victorian on 23rd Street, facing out. As Nato tells it, skater kids poured out of that house, and other neighborhood kids flocked to the scene. A mosh pit soon emerged, of course, on the asphalt. Nato goes on another quick sidebar here about all the different neighborhoods and scenes interacting on a regular basis. At least when he grew up, they did. Nato's main modes of transportation in San Francisco were his feet and Muni. The main bus lines were the 24, the 49, and the 67. His high school was on Ocean Avenue, but he mostly hung out in the Mission. One of his good friends lived in Lower Haight and had a car, so Nato would sometimes take Muni over there. That buddy with a car would also swing by and pick up Nato and his friends. They'd often go to the west side of town and hang out in coffeeshops. Nato rattles off several of those shops, also letting us what occupies those spaces today—Farley's (still there), Higher Grounds in Glen Park (still there), Higher Grounds in The Mission (closed), Café Macondo (Gestalt today), Blue Danube (still there), and the Horse Shoe (empty today). There's another sidebar about Jello Biafra. Nato says, “Don't meet your heroes.” As mentioned up top, he started hanging out at comedy clubs in The City when he was in eighth grade. There was a show on KQED called Comedy Tonight that featured local comics. Originally, the show was shot at Wolfgang's (now Cobb's), but it later moved to Great American Music Hall. Alex Bennet was on Live 105 in the morning and Comedy in the Park was drawing 50,000 people to the Polo Fields. There were five seven-nights-a-week clubs in SF, and at least five more around the Bay. People made a living as regional headliners. Around this time, Nato's eighth grade science teacher's roommate was the doorman at Cobb's. Word got around to that guy that a kid was into comedy, and so he started taking him to that club. He saw comedians such as Greg Proops, Dana Gould, Paula Poundstone, Mark Pitta, Johnny Steele, Will Durst, Greg Behrendt, and Margaret Cho. He watched these folks, some of them anyway, become headliners. Check back next week for Part 2 and the conclusion of our episode on Nato Green.

This Thursday 06-08-23 at 5:00 PM EST Time! https://grizzly.spiritsale.com https://paranormalhub.com/grizzly-hunt https://www.facebook.com/christopher.schlager.18 Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a legendary creature often described as a large, ape-like being that inhabits forests primarily in North American folklore. Reports of Bigfoot sightings have persisted for decades, with various anecdotal evidence, blurry photographs, and alleged footprints being cited as possible evidence. Despite the widespread interest in Bigfoot, and numerous expeditions and investigations conducted, there is no conclusive scientific evidence to prove the existence of Bigfoot. Skeptics attribute sightings to misidentifications of known animals, hoaxes, or a combination of both. It's worth noting that the scientific community generally regards Bigfoot as a subject of cryptozoology, which deals with the study of hidden or undiscovered animals. While the allure of such creatures captures the imagination, the existence of Bigfoot remains unverified and is often regarded as more of a cultural or folklore phenomenon. Believers in Sasquatch consider it to be an undiscovered primate or a relic hominid species, potentially related to early human ancestors. However, despite the enduring fascination and numerous investigations, there is no conclusive scientific evidence to confirm the existence of Sasquatch. Many sightings are attributed to misidentifications, hoaxes, or the influence of folklore and imagination. As a result, Sasquatch remains a subject of debate and speculation. What kinda impact did this have on Bigfoot? What other great movements across the states had affects on encounters? Very interesting angle! California Gold Rush (1848-1855): The discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California in 1848 sparked a massive influx of prospectors from around the world. Known as the "Forty-Niners," these gold seekers traveled to California hoping to strike it rich. The event had a profound impact on California's population growth, economy, and cultural landscape. Other Gold Rushes: While the California Gold Rush is the most well-known, there were other significant gold rushes in different parts of the United States. These included the Pike's Peak Gold Rush in Colorado (1858-1861), the Klondike Gold Rush in Alaska and Yukon (1896-1899), the Black Hills Gold Rush in South Dakota (1874), and the Nome Gold Rush in Alaska (1899-1909). Impact on Settlement and Infrastructure: The Gold Rushes led to the rapid settlement of previously sparsely populated areas. Towns and cities sprang up almost overnight as people flocked to the goldfields. The influx of settlers also stimulated the construction of infrastructure such as roads, bridges, railways, and ports to support the growing population. Social and Cultural Impact: The Gold Rushes attracted people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, including Americans, Europeans, Chinese, and others. These migrations had a significant impact on the multicultural fabric of the regions affected. Additionally, the pursuit of gold created a sense of adventure, competition, and the hope of quick wealth. #LegendaryMonster #grizzlyonthehunt #CryptozoologyInvestigation #SasquatchSightings #BigfootResearch #CryptozoologyCommunity #WildernessExploration #BigfootEnthusiasts #BigfootEvidence #SasquatchHunters #UnexplainedPhenomena #MysteriousCreatures #ParanormalInvestigation #HiddeninNature #SasquatchHunter #LegendaryCreatures #BigfootLegend #CryptozoologyEnthusiasts #BigfootEncounters #CryptozoologyResearch #SasquatchCommunity #SearchforBigfoot @BigfootSightings @SasquatchHunter @CryptozoologyEnthusiast @WildmanSearch @ElusiveCreature@Yetilnvestigation @ForestExplorer @BigfootResearcher https://grizzly.spiritsale.com https://paranormalhub.com/grizzly-hunt https://www.facebook.com/christopher.schlager.18 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grizzly-onthehunt/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grizzly-onthehunt/support

In early 1849, thousands of gold-hungry Americans began pouring into California from the eastern United States. But most of the so-called 49ers were wildly unprepared for the perilous journey west. Once they reached California, they found unexpected obstacles and fierce competition in the gold mines. For many, their dreamed-of riches rarely materialized. And even for those who did hit paydirt, their newfound wealth came with unforeseen challenges.Listen ad free with Wondery+. Join Wondery+ for exclusives, binges, early access, and ad free listening.

Mark "Xcommish2" DerGarabedian has been a fixture in the APBA modding community for years. He started playing APBA baseball at a friend's house in Fresno, California, and has stayed hooked since. He's even rolled a few games with his 18-year-old son. Whether playing football, baseball or golf, he's always juggling multiple projects of various lengths — and employing a wealth of home-brewed tweaks for playability and realism. At the time of this interview — July 24, 2022 — his projects included: • 1981 Forty Niners • 1982 MLB tournament (in which low seeds were bouncing high seeds with some frequency) • A Ben Hogan ATG tour • The 1994 US Open playoff (Els, Roberts, Mongtomery) Since then, he's as conceived about a dozen other potential refinements to APBA Football, from a prevent defense chart to key and blitz charts for solo play. He's also a communications chief at Costco, hence the question within the first minute or two. Check out some of his work at the Between the Lines forum under his Xcommish2 handle, as well as on various APBA-related Facebook groups. Video version: https://youtu.be/KjYvVV7gL5I

Levi Boone Helm. The Kentucky Cannibal. Born in 1828 in Kentucky, and hanged in Montana Territory in 1864, this guy was mayhem on legs. He spent nearly his entire adult life fighting, robbing, killing, and running from the law. He killed at least 18 men in various shootouts and other violent encounters. He ended up stuck way out in the woods on numerous occasions with no option for food other than to eat another grown man, which he did if he got hungry enough. He spent his final days riding with The Innocents, an outlaw gang active in Bannack and Virginia City, Montana, before a massive vigilante mob brought them down. Lotta yip, yip, yaw in this one.

Running To The Beat of His Own Drums and Pulling Them 100 Miles Behind Him with Bob Thomas What started out as a joke ended up being a walk or charity. Can you even imagine walking 100 miles? Now visualize walking those 100 miles towing a drum kit on a trailer. This is exactly what professional drummer Bob Thomas set out to do. About Bob I'm Bob, a 23-year-old full-time drummer who also loves ultra-endurance. I'm an Ironman Wales finisher and have become obsessed with ultra running. I have come up with a challenge to combine music and running which is to run a 100-mile ultramarathon towing my drum kit, I will then set it up and play a gig with my band directly after the run.

And no, we've begun to figure out at first we talked a lot about diet, not being on a diet, but just you know what we eat, consume, exercise, but we've made a, you know, we've also kind of shifted into that mindset realm that we have to, you know, be able to change our mindset to to make sustainable changes. And so on Tuesdays, we usually release an episode with the guest either a professional in the industry, or somebody telling us their story. And then on Thursdays, we release more of a personal episode. And we've been talking a lot about diabetes. That's one thing I struggle with, keep in mind under control. So anyway, I want to thank you for being a listener. And if you're new Welcome to the show. And we've got a great guest today. This has been exciting. We've been waiting a couple of weeks to get Bob on here. So Terry, I'll let you introduce Bob.   Terry  01:11 Bob Thomas is a 23 year old ultra runner and professional drummer from West Wales. He's been playing drums since the age of seven, and performing full time at 17. All over the UK. He started his fitness journey in early 2018, when he ran his first marathon and progressed to an Iron Man in 2019. After the lockdown hit in 2020, he saw it as an opportunity to push his limits further and is training to take on 100 miles while towing his drum kit behind him. Bob, thank you so much for joining us. Welcome to the show.   Bob  01:49 Pleasure to be here. Thank you for having me.   Roy Barker  01:51 Yeah, and you're quite the you're quite the contrast. Because typically, you know, we think of musicians and drummers, they they live kind of an ultimate lifestyle up on that. And then, you know, probably, I would say not the best, you know, they're surrounded by probably a lot of liquor, a lot of good food. And a lot of Yeah, so it's like, it's just, it's an interesting concept. So kind of tell us a little bit, you know, about what kind of music that you play first, you know, how you got into music into the band. And then tell us a little bit of you know, about your focus on fitness.   Bob  02:29 Yeah, it's funny you say about that. That's, that's a lot of the reason why I ended up getting into fitness is because I was like out most nights playing gigs, and then having to drive home drive horrendous miles and just eating the worst fast food all the time. And that's where the fitness really came from. But yeah, so I started from a really young age plan. And I learned through school, basically. And I used to get a 15 minute lesson once a week, and then sort of give me a book and say, right, go and go practice, come back. And that progressed up and and then just decided it was sort of what I wanted to do. So I went to bed. Basically, when I was 16. I left school, and did a little bit of work helping out my parents and sort of thought, right, okay, well, let's try and make something of music. And there's like the local city to me is Cardiff, which is about two hours away. And I sort of just went up there on the site, right, let's try and meet some musicians. So I sort of put my head around once this in venues and sort of try to be friendly with some guitarist and bass players and things and eventually just sort of gotten a couple of bands and started playing and then yeah, just just kept progressing, which which is good fun. And it got Yeah, yeah, very good to the point of playing multiple nights a week or so doing lots of teaching. You can see behind me that there's this kicks up that they should be one there. But I had a gig last night so that that was gone. He sat in my car at the moment. So yeah, it was great. And then just just lots of gigs all over the place and learn to read music. So I play for, like theater shows and things. So I didn't get booked for sort of like four to six weeks on, like small theaters or around the UK, where we do sort of like three to five days in a in a venue just multiple shows. But again, it's just it's lots of it's always it's always very intense in a very short amount of time. So usually like my Monday to Thursday is usually fairly quiet. But then it's sort of like Thursday night it's like right okay, well let's pack up the gear and get ready to go then Friday I'm off and it's Friday night gig Saturday to gigs, Sunday to gigs and then hope   Terry  04:47 to be tired. Well as a as a drummer, you don't have a choice. You have to be fit if you want to be successful as a drummer. So I'm sure   Bob  04:57 yeah, just just to get your drum kit from the cost The venue.   Roy Barker  05:02 And, you know, when when we go to concerts a lot, you know, like more smaller venues, especially outdoors and stuff. It's like, you know, you see the guitar guy, he puts his guitar, in his case, and, you know, he walks away. And the bass says the same thing. And, you know, there's this poor drummer back there. He's got this whole big old drum kit, you know, he's trying to move on and offline. So I know I'm always thinking the same thing. I just played the flute that actually   Terry  05:33 led to having stuff. You asked for it, you got it.   Roy Barker  05:36 So tell us about this challenge where you're gonna, you're gonna is it 100 kilometers, and you're gonna tow your drum kit behind you.   Bob  05:44 gnosis is 100 miles, 100 miles. Okay. I think that's about 180 kilometers.   Roy Barker  05:49 Okay. Okay.   Bob  05:51 That's a that's a best guess. But yeah, so it all it was a bit of a weird joke at the start. And because I live right on the west coast of Wales, and it's very rural, I live in political Pembrokeshire. And there's, there's like, there's more cows and people down here. So for me to go, like all my work, I have to basically go to the closest place I can do it is a city called swanzey, which is about sort of an hour and a half drive away, but more of it is done in Cardiff, which is about two hours just over. So I spend a lot of my time driving, but Cardiff is basically exactly 100 miles from my house. So that's where the majority of my gigs up. So when we hit lockdown, obviously, at the start, everyone thought it was going to be like two, three weeks. And I've done quite a bit of training then because about three or four months before that I've done my first Ironman, so relatively fit, close point. And I said to my mate, who's also a drummer, I said, I think I might train, loads of running really focused. And then when I when gigs, come back, I'll get someone I was thinking, like, I'll get my parents to take my drum get to the gig or something. And I'll run and, and then I'll do the gig and it's about 100 miles a bit like it'd be an ultramarathon, so it'd be great. And he sat there and listened to me say all that and he just went, yeah, but it doesn't really count unless you tow the drum kit. And my stupid brain went that's a brilliant idea. He's off the Christmas list now. Yeah. He's, uh, yeah, he is, is a good friend, but also a bad friend.   Terry  07:37 Well, you're actually gonna be calling I mean, you're actually gonna be telling it yourself. Your body. Yeah, yeah. So I, I am the horse to the car. Yeah,   Bob  07:47 it's a bit a bit mad. So it was kind of it was it was great. And it was like, I had no way I could actually do that. Like that would be, it'd be mental. So the first thing I do is start googling. Like, Has anyone done something like this? And there's been a few people who have like pulled cars from marathons and things like that, that looks pretty brutal. And I was like, Okay, well, no one's no one's really done this. So, so what I do, and then the the extra condition is that I that the challenge isn't finished when I end the run, because I have also hired my band to come to the end of the run and play a gig with me. So run 100 mile with the drum kit, then set it up, then play an hour's gig with them, and then set it down. And then and then I don't know, I'll probably just meet face down   Terry  08:36 in the grass leap, or at least two weeks after that. Yeah, I hope so.   Roy Barker  08:42 Are you going to push through and do like the 100? all at the same time? Are you going to like take a couple breaks in between?   Bob  08:49 Yes, the plan is to do it. Pretty much all as one. So I allowing myself 48 hours to do it. Wow. And that's gonna involve I'm, I've got a, I've got a crew of five guys coming along to help me and they're gonna have a couple of cars and beat leapfrogging and there's a couple of spots where they have to sit behind me with a hazard zone. Because some of the roads quite quick. So I'm yeah, the idea is I start at 8pm on Thursday, the 22nd of July. And the idea is to go all the way through that night. And then when I get to the morning, I'll probably have a bit of a break for breakfast. But when I say a break, I mean less than less than 30 minutes. Yeah. Ideally, if we can keep all the breaks under 20 minutes, that would be great. We're pretty much just going to like, like plot all the labels on the way and I'll just keep stopping and then there'll be other things I need to do. Like, I need to change shoes at some point because my feet will swell. Probably change clothes. I imagine I'll need a change of clothes for night running than I will day running. Because of the heat difference, because we're we're in summer here, and not the world's as the hottest country in the world, but it can get slightly warm. And when I say slightly, I mean, not not very, but enough. So yeah, I'll probably have to get changed and things like that. And then I talked to a few people who've done like, really setting challenges like this before. A friend of mine, she did 200 miles recently. And it took her about 51 hours. And she said on on day two, she had to stop and she slept for 15 minutes. And in Canada. So I look forward to my 15 minute nap on days.   Terry  10:42 Well, and how do you even start to figure out how to train for that? I mean, what's your what's your typical day as far as your training going?   Bob  10:50 Yeah, but yeah, that that's, that's a, that's a weird one. Because it started off with just increasing the miles running. Which came to a point where I was running sort of like, like eight or nine hours a day. And then it just just get I'm just trying to get as many miles as possible. And then it got to the point where I got the trailer. And that that was weird, because the difficult thing with trailers is very hilly around here. So one is heavy and getting it up the hill is awful. But then the other problem is getting it down the hill. ilmi. And it's, it's, it's quite scary. Because when I first did it, I was like, Oh, well, we I got a friend to help out. And he got a break on it. And I was like, yeah, that's a really good idea. So we got this break that was on a rope. And the idea was like a rubber rubber on the hand pulled the brake should be absolutely fine. Well, we didn't take into account is actually, when I get to a steep hill, I have to really pull the brake. I took the first hill that I went down, and I got to the end of it. And I looked at my hand and it was like completely blew off circulation with the rope. I'd like to rope across my hand. I was like that was one Hill. Yeah, so I run because I'm on my last like training block now. Which is which basically involves me every other day running as many miles as I can trailer. So I did a marathon with it on Wednesday, just gone. And that took about eight hours to do. Which was which was fun. And it's just lots of hills. And I'm training with like twice the amount of Hill. So I'm, I cover 80 feet of climbing per mile on my training runs. But when I do the actual run, I only cover 50 feet of climbing per mile. Okay, I'm training a little bit harder than what it will actually be. But I'm not training the same distance because I just want to recover. That's the that's the thing I found hardest is trying to get enough training in, but also recover afterwards. And then and nutrition and things like that it's really hard because I track calories. And it's funny because some days I need to track calories to make sure I don't eat too much. But then other days, I have to track calories to make sure eight is enough. Because I think on Wednesday I burned an extra like 7000 calories or something is like well I don't know how to eat that   Terry  13:42 much. It's many calories Do you need how many calories are trying to strive for   Bob  13:48 so so it's really weird. So when when I'm when I'm moving I can I can basically take on about 160 calories an hour without feeling unwell. Because it's quite a common thing because because when you run your body sends more blood to your muscles and your extremities and it takes it away from some of your normal so your digestive system doesn't work as efficiently. So if you take on too many calories, you can end up being sick, which is a bit of a problem. And it's not nice being sick when you're running. I have accidentally so I have to limit the amount but then afterwards like I sort of got this calorie deficit of like a few 1000 calories and I'm like well I could I could eat a bowl of ice cream and still have cash to spare   Terry  14:46 as trying to join in here.   Roy Barker  14:50 Man I wish I could wish I had that problem of having to try to eat and write that in before we get too far long I was gonna at your do it or isn't there Charity component involved in this as well.   Bob  15:03 Yes, there is. So yeah, so this was where the idea really sort of came to life is because he was like, right, it's a great idea. But like, what was the point in doing it? So yeah, I am, I decided to do it for cardiac risk in the young, which are a really good charity here. And they basically they they set up and they do screening and research into undiagnosed heart conditions, okay? Because it can be found in in young people between ages of 14 and 34. And they can have a heart condition that's completely undiagnosed, no symptoms whatsoever, and unfortunately, just suddenly dropped out. It can be really awful there was we've got a competition in in football over here going on with the euros at the moment. And there was a player, I think he's from Denmark. But he about I think it was about 20 minutes into the game just dropped, dropped on the field. And fortunately, he recovered. And they, they got into hospital, and he's fine. But that was a cardiac problem. And it's really strange, because it doesn't really matter how fit people seem to be. It can really affect them. Unfortunately, we lost my my older sister. And she was 16 at the time, but she played hot ball, hot ball hockey, and netball. That's the mix, apparently hot ball. So he actually played netball and hockey to a really high standard, and was always used to run track and things. And they are unfortunately, where she had a heart condition that we didn't know about no symptoms whatsoever. Gosh,   Roy Barker  16:42 that's terrible. So do you.   Terry  16:43 So do you because of that? Do you get screened annually? How does?   Bob  16:50 Yes, so so i i don't get screened annually. So I have I have been screened, and they they believe it's hereditary. And they've looked into cases in my family. And they believe it's only the women that are affected in my family interests. Other I've had a look into that. And and how I know that I don't specifically know, but it's all through the screening that they do. And they work a lot with schools over here. So they'll they'll go into schools, and they'll screen an entire year of school and figure out and they can they can give pacemakers. I know that there was a girl in a school near me. And she was screened. And they found that she had something and they they did an operation she had had a pacemaker button on the heart. And she had to I think she had to keep it for about two years. And then they got removed, and she was absolutely fine. And yeah,   Roy Barker  17:47 yeah, and we have seen that here too. You know, athletes football is our, you know, American football, and then you know, some in basketball to that. Yeah, younger kids that are you would think in perfect health, because they're so athletic. And then, you know, it's unfortunate, they have this underlying condition. So, you know, we're definitely, you know, express our sorrow for your family's loss, for sure. But I think it's really great that you're stepping up and doing this. And the reality is just so many people don't know about it. So the awareness is a good component as well.   Bob  18:22 Yeah, I think massively it and that's the things but when it's someone that of that age that's so young, it affects so many people around them, because, right, if there's some if it affects someone who's sort of under the age of 18, they've probably got brothers and sisters and effects their family and all their school friends. I know that my sister's friends. for them. It was horrendous, because they had a friend who was there there one day, and then the next school and they're like, hold on. Where's where Sarah, while actually not in school today? Yeah. And yeah, it's horrific.   Terry  18:55 And you were How old? were you when you lost your sister?   Bob  18:59 I was 11 at the time. Wow. Five years younger than Oh, well,   Roy Barker  19:05 we appreciate you sharing that with us. I know. That's a you know, it's very personal. But thanks for thanks for sharing, I think it makes a big difference to, you know, get that message out that it can be devastating. It is devastating to the families that happens to you. But then, like you said, At that age, it affects people around them. And then if they're young, it's like a lifelong thing that they have to deal with. So,   Terry  19:30 and the fact that they're so young, you know, you just don't know, at any age, what's going to happen, anything can creep up, but the fact that they're younger, and this happens, you know, doesn't mean it's not gonna   Roy Barker  19:43 end their screening. That's the other thing. I don't know how preventable but if people were more aware of it, get the screening probably could avoid. Avoid a lot of the unnecessary deaths as well.   Bob  19:55 Yeah, a lot. A lot of it can can be avoided through through things like pacemakers. and things like that. And if they if they do find them earlier, and I don't I don't even think they have to find super early, I think as long as it's found some, that's all they need, and then they can they can actively work against it.   Roy Barker  20:15 Well, so let's get back to so you, what made you make this decision to be healthy to be the healthy drummer? I mean, because like we said, it's very contrary, did you just, you know, just I guess, feeling bad, or you just saw the path that you're on, you know, doing eating the fast food on the way home from a bad I have to be going down?   Bob  20:40 Yeah, it was, um, it was a case of, so I'm I'm asthmatic. And I've always had like, like, fairly Bad, bad asthma, but it isn't, it's not terrible. I remember doing a couple of gigs where I had to carry the kit in, and sort of like carry half the kit, and then almost be having an asthma attack, taking it in and just being like, this is terrible. But on the scale of things, my asthma is not that you can have way worse asthma. I just remember thinking at this one gig, I think we have to carry it up a flight of stairs to get to the stage. And I carried about two pieces my drum kit up and it wasn't even the heaviest bit. I got to the top. I was sweating. And I was like hearing, like, I couldn't breathe. And I was like, I think this might be a problem. If I want to carry on doing this, and I can't keep up this lifestyle. Right. And so yeah, so the idea was like, right, okay, well, let's, let's start doing a little bit of running. So this was back in early 2018. It must have been awful February, started doing a little bit of running wasn't very good. didn't really enjoy it. But sort of kept going. And then I mentioned to my my girlfriend at the time, I was like, I think I might I might train for a marathon. I think it was just a really off the cuff sort of said it didn't really mean it. Yeah. And I think about 10 minutes later, she went, Oh, there's one in six weeks, I've signed you up.   Roy Barker  22:20 Yeah, that's the second time now you've got yourself in trouble you have built in a little better.   Bob  22:26 Yeah, I know. I should just keep my mouth shut. So. So I went and did that marathon and hated it. But what what I remember mainly from America is I ran the first 16 miles. And then basically fell off a cliff just felt horrendous walked had my head in the sand, like just did not want to be there at all. And then I got to the end, and then about 200 meters from the end, all the crowds go. And I was like sprinting, I was absolute for like full out as fast as I could run. I don't think I've ever run that fast before in my life. And finish the race and then fell around this again. But but it's saying in me then when I did that was like, hold on, like, an hour ago. I wanted to quit give up and I felt awful. And I thought I couldn't even run 10 seconds ago, I was sprinting full pelt, what, what's going on? And then I sort of realized that actually a lot of mental, right? So it was like, Okay, and then all my training just just sort of went straight off. After that marathon, there was nothing really to look forward to. And it was kind of like right back to back to work. And it started going back the other way again, and I was like, Oh no, this isn't good. I need to sign up for something. And my dad had started doing iron that where I realized sake of I thought we're a bit we're a bit just stupid. We just say we're going to do things and then end up doing them. So because of that, so that year my dad signed up to do an iron man. And he, he just like he just spoke to me one day, I think he spoke to me and my brother and he was like, I've signed this deal and I'm on a really like, Okay. She know what it is? And he was like, yeah, it's like a triathlon, we like, is a really hard track. He was like, yeah, it's fine. We're like dead, you can't even run. And he's like, yeah, we fine. He had when he signed up, he had an issue with his knee where he had injured it, like a couple years before and hadn't been able to run as well. And it was really struggling and but somehow he fixed it gotten through it and he's done like for now. So, so the I because my training was completely in a slump and I was like, right I need something to look forward to. I was like, Okay, well, I am man it is. So I decided to sign up and day one So then in 2019, I did an Iron Man, which is really good. And for 2019, for me, music wise was probably the year that we're it really took off quite quite well. So I was doing a lot more around the UK traveling a lot further. We were sort of breaking into, like north and south of England, which is much more populated areas than Wales. So we're doing a lot better. But then the journeys they're getting up to sort of we're traveling sort of eight hours, to places.   Roy Barker  25:33 So let me just say for the record back what you said that there is no easy Iron Man or triathalon. person as you are your red was like that question like, yeah, there is no, there is no Yeah, yeah, this is gonna be an easy one here.   Bob  25:51 Yes, yeah. It's a little bit different to the local and stamp London, the leisure centre. It's like 10 laps of the pole and a quick jog around the block. But yeah, yeah. So like, my, my work got massively increased. So I didn't really have much time to train. So I ended up sort of scraping through the Iron Man and completing, I sort of did it but I wasn't very happy with my time because I The training was not not wonderful. So I entered again, for 2020. And that's when I really started with it. And so I sort of, I had a couple of mates at the time. And I was like, right, I know, this makes one's a lot. So he's really good at that, I'm going to start swim with him, and my other mate runs a lot and start running with him. And I really sort of, like changed a lot of my focus to go fully into into the fitness and my, my idea was that if I could do Ironman in under 12 hours, I'd be really happy. So I was had, like, straight into that as much as I could. And then that's when lockdown happened. So that's when this sort of idea of like, right, well, now I've got a big opportunity. Like, at the time, I thought, right, I've got four to six weeks now where I can go mad training. And then but I've done just carried on forever and ever and ever. And and so that second I'm on I still haven't done. I'm Fingers crossed should be doing it this September. But But yeah, but that sort of leads us to where we are now. Because that's when that conversation happened about running with the drum kit. And then it was like, right, well, yeah, let's do that. And I, it all got invented. Because I was I thought it was a great idea. And I sort of looked into it a bit and figured out and thought, yeah, I think I can do this. So I made a video saying that I was going to do it and put it on Facebook. And that was the point where I could not go back because that video got about 5000 views in the day. Everyone I knew. And people had already people were donating money. And I hadn't even set up the donation page. I had people just sending me money. I raised like 200 pounds in like, a day. And I was like, Wait, hold on, I've got to do this. I was like there's no Undo button so that I'm well and truly in. So that it was a scramble to set up like a donation page. And that was it. Once I put that video out, it was like, Okay, I am I am fully committed. And then it was just trying to figure out a date and the idea. At the time, I was like, Okay, well, I definitely need to do it next year. So 2021 because I don't think if it was just running 100 miles, I said just running 100 miles is silly. But if Yeah, if I was only running 100 miles without turning the drum kit, I probably could have done it towards the end of last year. But we've turned the drunk yet. It was like right, no, that's that's probably I probably bitten off more than I can chew here. So I'm gonna make sure that this takes a long time until after dinner. So yeah, the idea was to do it in August this year. And then as things started lining up, we were looking at dates and night, the weekend of the 24th of July. This was like the perfect weekend. Right again, that book in and go for it. And then I had to figure out how to tow the trailer. And I had to get a trailer made and all of that and that was great fun and a bit mad cuz I'm phoning up companies who sell trailers and be like, do you have any that are built for running? Like, Oh, no, no,   Roy Barker  29:35 we don't really. It's not really a thing. Okay. Even if you you know, get one like, people run you know, when they have kids and stuff that's smaller. I mean, that's the other challenge is getting something big enough to hold the whole drum kit.   Bob  29:53 That was the thing. So that was I got offers from people of saying like, Oh, well I've got like a baby running thing. Um, I was like, Okay. Like, yeah, I was like it by any chance. Did you have triplets? really helpful? Unfortunately, they didn't. So yeah, I can, I can use it. But yeah, that's the problem because the drum kit is annoyingly shaped and really bulky. And even with packing it down to the smallest I can possibly get it, I still have to have it on like a flatbed trailer, which itself is really heavy and cumbersome and annoying. I haven't sworn at it.   Roy Barker  30:33 When you brought up a good point, I guess when we first started talking, I was thinking about you know, it's gonna be the challenge is getting up the hill, but I never actually thought about once you start down the hill that, you know, that trailer is gonna want to try to run over you if you don't have a pretty good braking system in place.   Bob  30:50 Yeah, the trailer is coming from my head on is   Terry  30:55 like a cartoon, you know, just a flat near right out. I mean, I think about Frankie, or one of our dogs dragging us down a hill that we have on the side of the house where we take him outside. And I mean, she does she is strong. And she pulls me down that I can't even oh my gosh, I can't even imagine that part of it. But I you know, I just it that is something that you posted on Facebook and accountability really can be such a factor. Yeah, peer pressure is the worst, isn't it really it is that in the mindset, and then all the support that you have from your, from your community, your friends, your family, all of that is, is awesome.   Bob  31:41 Yeah, that's being massive, because alongside everyone watching and donating, I also just got like, hundreds of messages from people being like, Oh, I can help with this. And I can do this. And I'm still getting them today. I got a message like I think yesterday from my mate Connor. And he was like, oh, God didn't want to do anything like filming or anything. Because like, I've got a camera and I can do this. And I'm like, Oh, yeah, those great. People are just so helpful, but it is amazing.   Roy Barker  32:06 So what how is the challenge? You know? And I think that's awesome that you put it out there because that's what they always say is, you know, if you have goals in your mind, it's one thing but once you speak them to somebody else that you know you become accountable. But the other part of this is that the difficulty even if you want to do this the difficulty of your situation of being around, you know, the things that aren't as healthy for you to consume. And then I'm sure your bandmates are like, Hey, why don't you come out, you know, come have a drink with us or I don't know what you know, y'all favorite junk food is but over here be like, Hey, we need to go get some nachos and beer after this gig. And, you know, how do you how do you handle that? And how supportive are they of you and your efforts? Not necessarily for the challenge but just for the daily being healthy.   Bob  33:00 I actually incredibly supportive because I I think a lot of it actually with the the eating and beer bad because we don't necessarily get the situation that often. Well, we all stay around and have like a beer after a gig. unfortunate because it's so much traveling. It's always like, Oh, I work but I've got a drive. So like and it's like you can't you never really get the situation where you can stay afterwards. But the problem was is mainly just actually myself and overcoming the big shiny by the side of the motorway. right for you are in an order and enough food to feed a family of thought.   Roy Barker  33:48 Like a magnet. Especially when and I'm the worst so I can attest to that is driving. I just feel like I always have to have something to eat or drink and it's like hard to go by the drive thru without popping in and getting something so I mean, it's a challenge. Yeah, it's just boring, isn't it? Yeah. So what have you have you done anything to make to help yourself to drive past it without making that exit?   Bob  34:16 To try and try take a different route? That's what Yeah, how ice cream machine doesn't work. Yeah, I mean, the one thing that's massively been is that I haven't actually been able to work because of COVID Yeah, so I've I've not been going to the gigs. A lot of my work has been I've been doing much more teaching and things like that, which is from home and over Skype, and things like this. So it's been lots of online so I've actually been making my own food. And when you're training a lot, the the food you eat and how you feel makes a massive difference, because I'm I'm sure you know when you go to McDonald's and you eat loads, and then you get up the next morning. You feel horrendous. Yeah. And but it's even worse when you do that. And then you've got a run 20 miles the next day. Because then you feel like doubly horrendous. So you quite quickly get into the headspace of like, Oh, actually, yeah, I need to sort of do that do this right. And I think I think even even before I said all the fitness stuff, I don't think it was necessarily my bandmates, or a bad influence. I think, especially the way we do things where we're not so much the rock and roll lifestyle musicians, we're very much that sort of quiet, go in and get the job done. Might have a Yeah, have a chat with people and then come home and sit with it, sit on your feet up and get get as early night as you can. So I haven't really had massive bad influences, which is quite good, other than my own sort of bad influence of just genuinely not being able to beat my cravings.   Terry  36:05 I think we all think about, you know, in the 60s and 70s, well, 60s 70s 80s, you know, just our music, our music, the rock and roll and all you know, we just think of that lifestyle, they're all they're all out there drinking out all hours, I have all these dates, dates, you know, all that stuff. So it's, it's, it's very refreshing to see that   Roy Barker  36:29 I could think of this group that I was listening to a song interviewers listened to one with the group. And they were kind of like, you know, it's kind of like their, their nine to five, just in a different time slot. But they were like, you know, they became big in popularity, and they were opening for some other bigger groups, and the other groups were like, Hey, come on, we're gonna go, you know, party and do this or like, and, you know, it's time for us to go home. And so they were that way as well. They just like, you know, we never really got into the life, we just, you know, we did our GIG and then we went home. And yeah, that everybody else.   Bob  37:03 I think some of it comes with, it depends how big the band gets. If you if you get a lot of money. And you're doing really well out of it, I think, yeah, there's it that lends itself to it as well. But sometimes it's like, like I've especially early on, I think that's probably where it's at. Because, early on, I was doing gigs where I would barely make any money by just doing lots and lots and lots of them. So you're sort of thinking you go like, Oh, yeah, well, I could have like a couple of beers afterwards with some of the crowd. But certainly, if you spend 20 pound on on beer afterwards, and then you take in your fuel, and then you eat and big McDonald's, suddenly, you spent your entire paycheck. Can you laugh? I don't have any money. I think yeah, I think I think when I first started, I probably felt like the first like two months, I was like, terrible, had no money. And then I was like, Oh, I can't get this gig because I can't put any fuel in my car. I should sort this out.   Terry  37:59 You learned quick. I mean, it takes some people a lifetime to figure that out.   Bob  38:04 Yeah, and, and also, just where I live sort of lends itself because I play it when I'm playing card, if I've got one band where three of the members live in Cardiff. So they they can like walk to the gig. So it typically takes them like 10 minutes to get there. So they they can have a drink of things and walk home. And it's really easy for them and a lot of their friends around there. Whereas for me, it's always that situation of like, right to if we finish up, sort of like 11 o'clock. We've then got 45 minutes to pack down and get out. We have a 15 minute chat, say goodbye. And then I get home and then I've got to drive. I still got two hour drive. So I don't get home till two in the morning still. So then if I stay around for drinks and food then it's like suddenly like I'm getting hungry. like four in the morning. Yeah. And yeah, so and especially if it's on a Sunday I want to I want to get get back to work to watch football.   Roy Barker  38:56 Yeah. So already on the on the actual running part. Have you just done all of this on your own? Or have you been working with the trainer to kind of help get you up to you know, even prior to the to the trailer pool thing?   Bob  39:12 were you working with somebody. So before the tradable i the only thing I was working with as I was working with a swimming coach because for me swimming is one of my strong suits. I swung from very early on from I think probably about age six, I think I started swimming and always quite enjoyed it. So I was working with a swimming coach quite a lot. But as far as running and cycling goes not not really a lot of there's a really good community down here because so I live in Pembrokeshire and as a political attendee here, and that is where one of the Ironmen takes place. So there is an Ironman in Tennessee, which is about 30 minutes from me. So there's a massive community of triathletes down here. So a lot of it is we all just sort of like keep night by In each of these training plans and talk to each other, so mainly everything I've learned is through that. And then for the run all of my training I've done myself and I have a good friend who's a physio. And I pretty much text him every other day like this hurts. Why should I do? He'll text me back and you'd be like, it's fine. It's meant to hurt. Just go   Terry  40:26 read some dirt and   Roy Barker  40:29 everything I was noticing. Looks like you have a 40 Niners hat and jacket though. Are you big American football fan?   Bob  40:35 Yeah, I'm a huge Forty Niners fan. And so when they do like the international games over here, I've got a season ticket. I'm sorry. I've seen many teams over here. And I watch every game live. Absolutely love it. Very good. Good.   Roy Barker  40:51 Well, we would be remiss if we didn't ask you a couple questions about who your favorite some of your favorite drummers are.   Bob  40:59 Yeah, of course. Yeah. So old all time favorite drummers Jeff Porcaro from so so because he's, he's insane. And he's played on so much stuff from like, like Steely Dan stuff. And yeah, he's he's based. Big fan of Tom from news. So he's a news from from Devon, which is not too far from here. And it's like, well, actually, as, as the crow flies, it's really close. It's like 4050 miles, but just over the water. So they're there by their massive modern UK band that are really good. And then I play in a tribute band for those. So I've had to really commit a lot of time to learning all of his parts and playing very accurately, so I have a massive appreciation for him. Yeah, he's amazing. And then I've got narrow people down, that's really hard. Yeah, there's a drummer called Danny Carey from the band tool. And they're just like, all over the place, really complex rhythms and things like that. They do horrible odd times images and stuff. And it's very complex. And, and redneck and a lot of it's like, it's the way the scrub music is. It's like spiraling, which is really, really, really weird. But it's this very sort of like, psychedelic. And the I love that sort of stuff.   Roy Barker  42:25 Yeah, remember when the guess when the multitrack or eight tracks or whatever came out? That's when everybody would be like, you know, all the sound in one speaker and then it would move and then if they were really good, they could just make it swirl around the whole car like that?   Bob  42:40 Yeah, yeah, they did nice. Like the the Queen thing on Bohemian Rhapsody where they found the vocal. Right, and then it's the middle. Yeah.   Roy Barker  42:48 Well, Bob, we appreciate you taking time out of your day to talk with us. It's an awesome story, I think it's a great cause that you're working toward, and we need to follow up. So we're going to get you on our calendar, we'll give you a day or two to you know, probably rest up from that, but maybe a little longer, maybe, and maybe an August weekend, they get you back on and you can give us a report of how it went. And of course, I'm sure that they're going to be video ographers they're taking the pictures and video. So please send us all that stuff. So we can not only post it, but you know, we really want to keep up with you and see how this goes. Yes, well, very, that's amazing. Thank you very much a bird   Terry  43:28 like oh my gosh, sending positive vibes to you will live vicariously through you.   Roy Barker  43:35 So what is a tool or a habit, something that you do every day, that really adds a lot of value to your life.   Bob  43:44 Or that is that is very good one I think from for me, it's it's probably sort of taking the taking time to do something, but I I really enjoy. So often this is usually very much around music. So for me, it's not just it's not just drums because I play a bit of guitar and piano. So every day I try to sort of dedicate a little bit of time, just even if it's like 10 minutes to just go and like write this, this, I'm just going to focus on this and just really enjoy it and not worry about anything else. And it's sort of just I guess it's kind of a bit of a meditation thing. But I find a lot, it helps with things like procrastination, because I find a lot of time when you're doing something like hard work or something. And you're just thinking like, oh my, I could be doing this other thing. And I want to be doing that. If just early on in the day early in the morning, before you go off to work, you just do something that you really enjoy. You sort of just get out of yourself a little bit so that you can go right out. I've done some I've really enjoyed today and now I'm going to go focus. Cool.   Roy Barker  44:50 Yeah, that's good advice. Yeah, we need to get out and and do that we need to sometimes we forget to stop and you know, have some enjoyment out of our day. So let's go Awesome. God, I just got to thinking we just our concerts just got opened back up here this year and we our first one that's coming to town that we're gonna see is a Clapton is coming. So we're excited about that. Oh, cool. Oh, when when's that?   Terry  45:17 It's September, mid September, and I've got a really good LA to   Bob  45:23 be really good. venue. Oh, that'd be cool. I was meant to see Joe Bonamassa recently. But I got cancelled unfortunate, I'm really hoping it's going to be put back on set.   Terry  45:36 I know, I'm so ready to do it just be in a live music format. I just do.   Roy Barker  45:44 And that's why you were you know, that's another reason that we were so interested in talking to you because music is a big part of both of our lives. And, you know, since I'm, you know, right up until the pandemic, you know, we probably went to, you know, concert every month or so, maybe not, you know, a lot of buyers are the old guys that you know, they   Terry  46:02 Al Green Yeah, the temptations,   Roy Barker  46:05 you know, we're trying to trying to see them before they all pass away. boys got the attributes that   Terry  46:15 we even had tickets to the Rolling Stones, and I've never seen them before. They were supposed to come a year ago, and maybe they still haven't announced anything unless you know something. Some inside scoop. We don't but   Bob  46:28 no, no, by no. Unfortunately, just being British doesn't mean you get out of shame. It would be such a great privilege if it was   Roy Barker  46:40 the other one that one of our last ones we went to were the I don't know if you've heard of the Stone Temple Pilots, Eric. Oh, yeah. Eric Kretz. Yep. Amazing drummer. If you haven't ever checked him out, check him out really good.   Bob  46:53 Yeah, well, yeah, I know a little bit of their stuff, but not not in depth. But yeah, I've   Roy Barker  46:57 heard some good stuff. All right. Well, we could talk music for the next couple hours, but we don't let you go. Thank you. Were so gracious for the time you've given us and like I said, really keep up. We want to. We want to see how even if you want to send us some training stuff as you're working through the week, some pictures of the trailer, and just anything you want to send us. And we'll be sure to get it out there for Yeah, brilliant. Well, thank you very much. Hey, you bet. All right, that's gonna do it for another episode of feeding fatty.

After a hiatus of several years, the original APBA Football Club is back in action. Launched on Facebook in January 2011 by Geoff Giordano, the AFC serves not only the APBA Football community but the APBA community at large with a combination of playing tips, game history, interviews with leading voices of Hall of Famers and longtime players and other unique content geared to promoting the game and its current and new fans. Here, we offer our take on the game of APBA Football in our absence of roughly five years. In this inaugural episode, we talk about the APBA Football audience figures we're seeing in the gaming world, suggestions to help promote the game outside the Delphi forums (our original goal) and some history of the game (gleaned from our personal work in cataloguing original games and boards as well as interviewing the folks who were there with company founder J. Richard Seitz). In our original run from 2011-2016, the APBA Football Club: • Interviewed numerous APBA Hall of Famers and notables like Ed Zack, John Cochrane, Pete Simonelli, Veryl Lincoln, Skeet Carr, Roy Langhans, Len Gaydos and Jack "The Cardfather" Kohn • Interviewed key APBA Football thinkers like Mark Zarb, Dave Urban, Denny Hodge and Art Carter • Covered the fan-held APBA annual tournament in founding city Lancaster, conducting interviews and live Tweeting competition results (we believe for the first time in APBA history) • Built one of the most comprehensive APBA Football collections, including many sets from Hall of Famer Robert Henry's collection, as well as many vintage bowling, saddle racing, golf and basketball games • Began drafting an APBA Football Handbook to complement Ed Zack's APBA baseball handbook • Created APBA features and series including "APBA Icons, "On the Road," "APBA Firsts," "APBA Combine" and "Show Us Your Setup" • Created the first contemporary football-only APBA Football competition at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton in August 2013, featuring a combination of how-to-play demonstrations with a mini single-elimination tournament won by Greg Wells, as well as John Cochrane's demo of the APBA Soccer game and the National Card Football League's demo of its play-by-Skype method (well before the pandemic) • Nominated Greg Barath and Ray Dunlap to the APBA Hall of Fame in 2014 • FInished second to Mike McCune in the global NCFL Skype tournament (1989 Forty-Niners 30, 2007 Patriots 24)

The wait is over, the San Francisco 49ers got their QB! (And it's not Mac Jones

OK, it's a big day Thursday no matter which team you favor.  But remember, no matter who your team picks, especially if it's a team called the Forty Niners and no matter which QB they decide on, my bet is Mack Jones but that's beside the point, it's going to take time.  Don't expect a hero in the first season.  Don't go gettin' all fired up because it wasn't your guy.  Just enjoy the process, get excited and let's see where it all settles out. And remember, getting a young QB into the system takes time.  Might even take a year.  So lighten up a bit and let's see where it all goes.

BE SURE TO SEE THE SHOWNOTES AND LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE HERE Eve Picker: [00:00:05] Hi there. Thanks so much for joining me today for the latest episode of Impact Real Estate Investing.   Eve: [00:00:11] My guest today is Gary Gilliam. Gary is perhaps best known for his starring role in football. He entered the NFL in 2014 after signing with the Seattle Seahawks, a superstar climax to a very long journey, which we talk about in the podcast. But today's focus, The Bridge, came about as a joint effort with friends to give back to their hometown, Harrisburg. There they will take an obsolete school building, the Bishop McDevitt Building and repurpose it for 21st century needs. It will become an eco-village with about 50 units of sustainable, zero energy, housing, commercial uses and indoor urban agriculture. Their broader goal is to acquire five to 30 acres for sustainable eco-village campuses that will produce healthy, fresh food, clean water and renewable energy. Gary doesn't plan to stop there. Over the next 10 years, he hopes to invest one point five billion dollars (1.5) in 20 different cities. He'll turn to other athletes and influences of color to invest in and lead each project.   Eve: [00:01:35] Be sure to go to Evepicker.com to find out more about Gary on the show notes page for this episode and be sure to sign up for my newsletter so you can access information about impact real estate investing and get the latest news about the exciting projects on my crowdfunding platform, Small Change.   Eve: [00:01:59] All right, Gary, thanks so much for joining me on this show.   Gary Gilliam: [00:02:08] Yeah, thanks for having me.   Eve: [00:02:09] So I'm very excited to talk to you. Someone shared your really wonderful video, What is The Bridge Eco-village, with me. And there's really there's so much passion and love in that video. I really just wanted to hear more about the project.   Gary: [00:02:26] Yeah. Yeah, definitely. That video specifically was featuring our pilot location in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. So, The Bridge Eco-village is a for-purpose real estate development company. The model that is also in that video is our B model in which we acquire old schools, malls, warehouses and convert them into eco-villages. And to us, an eco-village is essentially a mixed use development that has spaces for you to work, eat, live, learn and play. So that workspace, co-working spaces, maker-space, an area for entrepreneurs to come for incubation acceleration, what have you, that each branch is actually urban agriculture, the growing food with aeroponics and hydroponics, or growing food without soil, which allows us to grow food year round and also control the environment so we get bigger and higher yields and actually higher nutritional value as well. So that's where we live is housing, affordable housing as well as luxury housing. It's important for everybody to be together. That LERN Branch is actually our non-profit, which is Empower at the Bridge Foundation, which is a heavy focus into financial literacy, teaching people how to repair their credit. Also a heavy focus into job training, mostly like contractual work, so plumbing, electrician work, things like that, and then also sustainable business practices and research and development.   Gary: [00:03:51] Then within that play branch, the last branch is entertainment. So that's providing a space for people to have zip lines and batting cages, electric go-carts, virtual reality areas. So providing entertainment spaces to the local community. So The Bridge Eco-village, essentially a community center or village aspect, mixed use development. The eco aspect actually comes from the way that we are building mostly through our ITW branch, but for the entire building itself. So solar panels not just looking to be net zero, but striving to be net positive in our energy. We have water collection which doubles with how efficient our water usage is within our farming aspect. We actually save ninety five percent more water than what traditional farmers do. And then within our our waste and our carbon, we actually have a bio waste food digester. We can bring in fresh food waste from outside sources, convert that into nutrients and also more energy. So not just, you know, closing the energy loop, the waste loop, the water loop, carbon loop, so building things sustainably and our build environment. But to us, it's not just about the word sustainable. It's really about kind of playing chess and thinking ahead and making things that are built to last. So for us, sustainability really means longevity, which is why we're looking to convert these older good bone schools and malls and do something great with them.   Eve: [00:05:12] You have my head spinning. Any any one of these things is a pretty significant business to start. And for those who are listening, I mean, you've you've moved a career from professional football to basically community visionary. And so let's step back a bit. I mean, how did that transformation happen and where did the seed of the idea for The Bridge begin?   Gary: [00:05:38] Way back, actually. So when I was eight years old, I actually was enrolled into a private boarding school for orphans. I'm not an orphan, so I'll give a little bit of history about the school itself. So Milton Hershey School, founded by Hershey's Chocolate, the great chocolate chairman Milton Hershey, not only was he into chocolate, but he also founded this school back in 1909 for little white orphan boys. It was called the Hershey Industrial School for Boys. And that's what the school was up to the 60's when black males were admitted, to the 70's and 80's females were admitted. And by the time that I went in late 90s, it was no longer just for orphans. But your family had to be below the poverty line, single parent homes, still your orphans, foster kids, the like. And what the school does is it provides a fully cost free education. You live on campus, cost free your clothes, your food, everything, and then they double it up. And when you graduate from the high school, whatever college you get accepted to, they provide you with a pretty significant scholarship, anywhere from eighty thousand to one hundred thousand dollars to go toward that education.   Eve: [00:06:47] Wow.   Gary: [00:06:48] So, that's really the true inspiration of the work, eat, live, learn, play model. One the school, but but on a bigger scale, the town itself. So there was nothing in that farm town of Hershey wasn't being called Hershey until Milton Hershey himself went there and established this town. Now there's a four theme park, stadiums, theaters, obviously the entire school just it's now a one stop shop for everything that he provided for his workers. But now it's an entertainment space for everybody. So, that work, eat, live, learn, play model definitely comes from the town. And then also on a microcosm of the school itself, providing all the opportunities and resources that the kids needed that would have never gotten those opportunities or resources before.   Eve: [00:07:29] I bet Hershey would love to hear this story, right?   Gary: [00:07:32] Yeah, yeah.   Eve: [00:07:33] That's a great seed to plant. So then you went on to have a professional career in football and I suppose came back to your hometown, right? That's Harrisburg.   Gary: [00:07:45] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. So I got a full ride scholarship to play at Penn State where I went and played for Joe Paterno and Bill O'Brien. While there, I triple majored in business, advertising and psychology. So made sure that with that full ride I maximize it and got some pieces of paper to my name. So then after that I went to the NFL. I went undrafted actually to the Seattle Seahawks. Earned a starting spot there and played there for three years and ended up getting two new contracts actually with the Forty Niners. And that's who I most recently played with and now I'm a free agent. I'm taking this year off to stay away from the virus and decided to, you know,  develop The Bridge. A few business plans had already been developed for The Bridge. So you kind of put them together. So, yeah, I went to the NFL, played for a few different teams, and now I'm doing some real estate development. And like you stated, you know, community development.   Eve: [00:08:38] Yes, it's a lot of fun, isn't it?   Gary: [00:08:40] Absolutely.   Eve: [00:08:41] Yeah. Where are you starting? Like, physically? What are the buildings like? And you have a first project, I think, in Harrisburg. What does it look like?   Gary: [00:08:50] Yeah. Yeah. So that specific property was built in 1930. It's an old Catholic school. The Catholic school was there until 2014, so it's been empty since then. It's actually the fallout shelter for the city. So it's got great bones. It's actually really, really good shape on the inside. A few areas need some work, got to put a sprinkler system in and repair parts of the roof. That's part of the biggest expense, aside from obviously the renovations that we plan on doing. But, yeah, that the building in terms of the areas, though, that The Bridge itself targets, there are three main requirements. First and foremost, the town or the city or the area is a food desert or within close proximity to a food desert.   Eve: [00:09:37] Um Hm.   Gary: [00:09:37] Our main objective is to convert food deserts into food oases. Food security and food localization are extremely important, not just in the health of individuals, but also in finances and keeping the dollar circulating within your community. So first and foremost, food deserts. Second, we're targeting places that have home owner occupied rates lower than 45 percent. And then we're also the third requirement is the local school district there is ranked in the bottom half of the state. So those three things, Venn diagramed out the middle area right there is where The Bridge wants to be. Normally areas that most developers don't want to go into. Lots of distressed properties, you know, areas that don't have people that have a lot of disposable income. Those are the exact people that we're targeting. We're pitching or constructing this model to really combat systematic oppression. Those things that I just labeled create systematic oppression and keeps whoever lives in those areas down. You don't have resources there. You don't have opportunities to get yourself out of those situations. So that's right where we want to be.   Eve: [00:10:40] Ok, so this first building sounds like a gut rehab. I think I saw pictures of it. It's pretty gorgeous on your video and it looks pretty big. How big is it and what are you planning to actually build inside that space? And you adding new buildings like I'm an architect. I want to know how the physical structure, what you're planning.   Gary: [00:11:01] So it's one hundred and twenty thousand square feet.   Eve: [00:11:05] Oh, that's pretty big. Yeah.   Gary: [00:11:06] Sitting on eight and a half acres. And it's currently there's a ground floor, first floor and a second floor. We plan on building another floor on top, at least one floor. We're still deciding if we're going to go a bit higher within that top floor is going to be housing. As of now, we've got about 50 units. And that's a mix of affordable housing as well as luxury housing. As I stated. In the ground floor is actually where our maker-space, music studio, a digital media lab, that's where those those areas are. So kind of the co-working space.   Eve: [00:11:41] Incubator space.   Gary: [00:11:41] Some co-working offices up on the first floor, as well as some more housing. The gym, there's a gym. The gym will remain the gym. There's a nice stage in there and some built-in bleachers. So we'll refurbish that and people will be able to use that for TED talks and what have you. We're not going to put a gym floor back into it, but you will be able to do some physical activities in there, pull up curtains, sectioned off the area, use it for different events and what have you. There'll be a new building actually built connected to the gym, which will house our adventure arcade. So the zip lines, the batting cages, the trampolines and what have you. So that'll be new build as well as our farm. Which is looking to be anywhere from sixty thousand to seventy thousand square feet, but going vertical. So about six stories high, so only taken up about a third of an acre, but being able to produce the same amount of food that 13 acres does in a traditional farming sense.   Eve: [00:12:34] It sounds like your plans are pretty fleshed out. Like, how far along are you in the development process?   Gary: [00:12:39] Yeah, the conceptual phase is done. We're getting our land development plan together. We haven't gotten our full construction drawings together yet. We're still locking in a few of our different anchor tenants, some of the local entities that want to be a part of our mission and really help the demographic that we're trying to help too. So we're making sure we lock in the right anchor tenants there and get their spaces developed the way that they like them. And as of now, we're raising money. And luckily, being in the NFL, I got to be our main investor. But we're in the process of opening up to bring more investors in so we can obviously bring this fully to fruition. We just had our groundbreaking actually on November 19 and looking to start construction in the spring.   Eve: [00:13:21] Oh, wow. So you're really pretty far along.   Gary: [00:13:23] Yeah. Yeah. So we're we're moving along, moving, moving, moving right along. We acquired the building last November, so we took the last year to really do a lot of our planning stuff. You know, Covid slowed a few things down.   Eve: [00:13:36] Really slowed things down.   Gary: [00:13:38] Yeah. But allowed us to still meet virtually and get some of our things done.   Eve: [00:13:43] Right.   Gary: [00:13:43] But now we're obviously entering the next phase and taking it from paper to dirt and steel. It's going to be paramount that we get there. And so being in March, April, May it will look a little bit better.   Eve: [00:13:53] Yes, hopefully. So what do the locals think?   Gary: [00:13:56] Oh, we've got, oh man, tremendous community support. So, what we do, like so The Bridge Eco-village, work, eat, live, learn, play. Right. That's that's the model. But the specific amenities within each of those branches is determined by what the community there needs. Right. So, okay yeah, we want a co-working space, if that's what you guys want, or we want an area like a maker-space. Like, what do you guys want within a maker-space. What do you need. What have you not had access to. You know, so we actually hold a bunch of community panels before we even put together our plan. So that's what a lot of the last year was too, is getting in touch with local community, local neighborhoods, figuring out what the specific things people want, need, what's lacking, obviously talking to not just the community, but also to politicians and getting their support. You know, because obviously within the fundraising aspect, there's a public private partnership. So being able to have their support as we pursue some of those public funds was was very important, you know, and they're all behind it. Everybody's super behind, you know, what we're doing. It's not like this is some like, you know, come to Jesus thing. This is like, all right, look, we have an old school here, a building that's been sitting here as a community. We have an opportunity now to put together a plan to really develop this thing as something that we could use and need. And not only that, but then actually create a showcase to show what other communities can do in their places and in their cities with their old buildings.   Eve: [00:15:18] You talked about public private partnerships. Does that include financing partnerships?   Gary: [00:15:23] Yeah, absolutely.   Eve: [00:15:24] So affordable housing dollars or historic tax credits?   Gary: [00:15:29] Yep.   Eve: [00:15:29] Like, how do you bring the capital stuff together? I know these projects are very difficult.   Gary: [00:15:34] Yeah, yeah. No, so a lot. So there's different grants, obviously, like you mentioned, tax credits, historical tax credits. We actually have a meeting set up with the expert, for historical tax credits. The way we designed our plan, we know we're not being super intrusive and knocking down a ton of different walls. So, we are  anticipating...   Eve: [00:15:52] Yes, they don't like that, do they?   Gary: [00:15:57] No, they don't. That's the kind of the public side, the private side, a lot of different athletes and entertainers. Right. So. As an athlete, most of us have different, like I'll speak specifically to the NFL and football. We have our own football camps and we go back home. Right. So, it never really sat well with me, you know, just like, ah man, first of all, the chances of making it to the NFL are very, very, very low. And even if you do make it to the NFL, the chances of you keeping a lot of your money is very, very low. Eighty eight percent of NFL players are bankrupt within just two years of playing.   Eve: [00:16:29] Oh, that's shocking.   Gary: [00:16:30] Eighty eight percent. Yeah.   Eve: [00:16:32] Why is that?   Gary: [00:16:33] That's financial literacy and really understanding, you know, just making bad investments. I think you've got to have a certain image, spending the money in the wrong places, purchasing liberty.   Eve: [00:16:44] You grow up poor and then you have all this money. And because no one's ever really taught you how to manage it, it's too much.   Gary: [00:16:51] Yeah. Yeah. Kind of like, you know, when people win the lottery. Most of them end up same thing, either broke or dead, unfortunately.   Eve: [00:16:58] What a shame. Okay.   Gary: [00:17:00] So, aside from that, which is also an issue, instead of going home and preaching about or having the kids come in and go to these football camps, and them thinking, oh, I want to make it to the NFL and be just like Gary Gilliam, you know, if there's a kid that that has the potential, by all means, do it. It's also great for the physical aspect and getting the kids out of the house to do things. But let's think a little more deeply with it. Let's let's really go back and talk about real estate, business, agriculture, leveraging credit. Let's talk about those things. You can create a lot more millionaires that way than we do with athletics, right? That same drive and tenacity and execution ability that we have in athletics, we can mirror that in the business world, too. So let's be the face of that. You know, athletes, let's be the ones that are going back home now and using the money that we've gained to then, one, create opportunities for other people to gain money, but also be helping a ton of people. And most of them like it and and they want to get on board. And what The Bridge is, is it's a model. So it's not just in Harrisburg. We've got a target to hit a bunch of other cities over the next few years. So this thing is about scalability. It's about impact. Like I stated in the very beginning, it's a for purpose real estate development company. So really about impacting individual's lives. But it's also structured and made in a way that you can make a lot of money with and has a great return too.   Eve: [00:18:20] So then what will success look like to you in five or 10 years, say?   Gary: [00:18:26] Yeah, I think success will go back to our three requirements. If that area is no longer a food desert. If the home ownership are higher than forty five percent, significantly higher. And if the school district in that area is then ranked in the top half of the state, then that's when we know we were successful. And that ripple will be able to be measured. That's quantifiable. We'll be able to see that with numbers. And you kind of wonder, OK, well, how does the school district, how does homeownership rates, how does that food desert, how does that relate to the bridge? Well, the school district is directly correlated to homeownership rates and values, which in our LERN branch were heavy on financial literacy, getting people into homes, using FHA loans to get their home owner occupied, taking care of properties, property values go up, more funding to our school districts. Right, these things are linked. So if we're doing, we're supposed to do with each bridge location and that means the area surrounding us, none of those things are now issues and we'll see how far that ripple goes. Which will then allow us to overlap, if need be, other bridge locations so we can start to cover the areas that still have those issues.   Eve: [00:19:32] Those are really great and pragmatic metrics. I think it'll work really well.   Gary: [00:19:38] Thank you.   Eve: [00:19:38] I have to ask, what's the biggest challenge you've had with this project? Maybe you haven't had any.   Gary: [00:19:44] The biggest challenge personally would be asking people for money. It's kind of an odd thing personally, for me to do so, you know, getting over that hump and just kind of like, yeah, you know, this is this is kind of, you know, what we're doing. And everyone's always like, well, how can I get involved? It's like, well, we need capital. That's that's that's a big thing. You know, we've kind of assembled The Avengers. If you've got expertise, right, in architectural stuff or engineering or marketing or whatever else it is, like, this is obviously something that would be in a lot of different cities and teams are needed in each of those cities to run these living buildings, if you will. So, yeah. So teams and capital.   Eve: [00:20:22] Ok, and what's your what's your really big, hairy, audacious goal? You said you wanted to be in a few other cities in a few years. What's, what does this look like in in 10 years from now, do you think?   Gary: [00:20:33] Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We're looking to raise. You want big hairy. Okay.   Eve: [00:20:38] Yeah, Big hairy.   Gary: [00:20:39] Ok, here we go. One point five billion dollars. We want to pump that into 20 different cities over 10 years.   Eve: [00:20:50] Okay.   Gary: [00:20:50] One point five billion dollars to be deployed into 20 different cities over 10 years.   Eve: [00:20:56] That is a lot.   Gary: [00:20:59] Yeah, Big. Hairy. All that.   Eve: [00:21:01] Yeah, this is really great. Well, I'm really excited to see what what happens. I would love to be at your groundbreaking. Who knows if we'll be through this pandemic by then. I hope I hope it's over soon. But it really it sounds like a fantastic project. And I want to tell everyone, if they haven't seen your video, they should go look at it because it's a pretty wonderful description of what you're trying to do. I really enjoyed it.   Gary: [00:21:28] Thank you.   Eve: [00:21:29] It's been really nice talking to you.   Gary: [00:21:31] You as well. Thanks for having me.   Eve: [00:21:43] That was Gary Gilliam. Football star would probably be enough for most people. It's not enough for Gary, who planned to leverage his extensive and influential network to do some good. To do a lot of good. The community he grew up in, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is poor and segregated. Gary says it is the epitome of systematic oppression, redlining, food desert, lack of resources for the school district. It's all here. And it's been that way since I was young. He wants to find a real solution for those real points of pain, not just in Harrisburg, but all over the world.

This episode of the Talk Jam Podcast is brought to you by the book Forward To Camelot by Susan Sloate and Kevin Finn. More information here https://susansloate.com/"Episode 11 is a full-on two-jam episode about The Super Bowl! We jam about this year's GREAT game--Chiefs vs. Forty-Niners--and then on to a jam about the Super Bowl Parade! Susan's son attended both, as a Chiefs employee, and he was not only partying like mad in Miami, HE THREW BEER to people on the streets in Kansas City in the parade--one of his best days ever! Enjoy these jams along with this--this kind of joy doesn't come along every day."

The Kansas City Chiefs played the San Francisco 49ers in this year's NFL championship, aka the 54th annual Super Bowl. In a game that came down to the end, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs took the trophy with a comeback victory. Kev and Jack discuss their thoughts of the season/playoffs leading up to it and the game itself. Plus everything else around it with the commercials and the halftime show of JLo and Shakira (along with Bad Bunny and J Balvin).

  Vikings vs Bears… Good morning Horners! Your Minnesota Vikings played their backups versus the Chicago Bears and almost pulled out a victory in a meaningless, or at least to the playoff seeding, game. Drew, Ted and Dave discuss the afternoon action and the state of the team. Ted after a bad weekend for his team is not that optimistic going into next week against the Saints or the Seahawks, and at the time of the recording we don’t know which. That will change by the end of the evening though as the Forty Niners and the Seahawks will figure that out for us. A 49’er win means a trip to New Orleans and a Seahawk win means a trip to Seattle. Which would you rather play in next weekend?  There was some good play by some of the backups. Dave like the effort and attitude by Oli Udoh in for Brian O’Neill, even though he got some tick tack calls. Sean Mannion proved why he was just a backup and not a good one. Mike Boone had a much better game than last week with 160 yards of production and 148 of them on the ground. He even got a TD out of that. Alexander Hollins and Bisi Johnson were the two leading receivers but on the day, it was Dan Bailey that scored 13 of the Vikings 19 points. He also earned his $1,000,000 bonus for making more than 90% of his kicks this year… a good thing.  Matt Nagy and the Bears racked up their second win of the season and 4th against Mike Zimmer even though this win was against the second stringers. Does that cause you concern like it does for Ted and Drew? Next comes Pete Carroll or Sean Payton, two other coaches that tend to beat Zimmer teams, but who knows, this could be our year in these playoffs.  GMG wants to wish you all a safe and Happy New Year! We’ll be here to talk your Vikings all the way into and through the playoffs. Go Vikings!  Like, subscribe, and rate us on your favorite podcast aggregator.

Are the 49ers the class of the NFC?  Mark's all in but not Whitey -- who's judgement may be clouded by Frankenstein issues.  And are the Kings 0-4, or 4-0?

49ers defense showed up big. Justin Skule NFL debut. Despite the five turnovers the 49ers offense moved the ball well. Jimmy Garoppolo is believing in his receivers. And heading into a bye week.

On today’s episode, you might recognize the name Jeff Kemp as a former Quarterback in the NFL who played 11 seasons with the Rams, Forty-Niners, Seahawks and Eagles! However, there is so much more behind this Quarterback that has led him to be a transformational leader and made an impact on hundreds of lives. In 2012 Jeff joined FamilyLife as a Vice President and Catalyst for helping others and strengthening families. Prior to this time he founded and led Stronger Families which united communities around strengthening marriages, assisting military and high-stress couples in protecting their marriage. A quarterback, speaker, and now author – there is so much to learn through the eyes of Jeff Kemp, come along and listen! How did leadership find its way to Jeff’s life? His mother and father instilled this in their life. His father, Jack Kemp, also a former NFL player used his off-season to learn economics and politics and brought leaders home that shared stories with the family. His father’s message was simple “don’t follow the crowd, have high standards, make things better for others and do your best.” Transformation to Jeff is improving and not staying where you currently are. From failures in the NFL to helping others succeed in their life and marriage, Jeff shares his personal journey through leadership and the value it means to him.

Puedes encontrar el comic aqui: https://amzn.to/2OZtmjx Alan Moore, Gene Ha y Zander Cannon amplían las fronteras de su original obra a través de diferentes historias que desvelan más detalles sobre el pasado de personajes tan relevantes como Smax. El exitoso equipo creativo nos traslada además hasta 1949, para narrar los acontecimientos que provocaron la fundación de Neópolis tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Autor de obras maestras de la talla de Watchmen y V de vendetta, Alan Moore es probablemente el guionista más influyente en la historia del medio. Al igual que Promethea, Top 10 fue publicada originalmente dentro de la línea America?s Best Comics. El presente tomo recupera sus principales especiales y precuelas: la novela gráfica Top 10: The Forty Niners, America's Best Comics Special, y la serie limitada centrada en Smax, uno de los protagonistas más carismáticos de la serie original. Un brillante trabajo que sin duda merece ser reivindicado.

On Ep.14 Levi (@LeviAndrewFF) and Pete (@_PeteLaw) give their Week 3 reactions, where we discuss the Vikings bombing, Patrick Mahomes, Calvin Ridley, and what the Jimmy Garoppolo injury means to the Forty Niners skill players.

A tale of the "Dark Vikings" thrown out of their country by someone like Erik the Red. A tale of a peaceful group of miners led by a man who goes by Dopey. When the two tales collide you would expect a collision, but tonight you will be more of an intersection that occurs after an incredibly long lead up. Sound like something you can sleep to?

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the California Gold Rush. In 1849 the recent discovery of gold at Coloma, near Sacramento in California, led to a massive influx of prospectors seeking to make their fortunes. Within a couple of years the tiny settlement of San Francisco had become a major city, with tens of thousands of immigrants, the so-called Forty-Niners, arriving by boat and over land. The gold rush transformed the west coast of America and its economy, but also uprooted local populations of Native Americans and made irreversible changes to natural habitats. With: Kathleen Burk Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at University College London Jacqueline Fear-Segal Reader in American History and Culture at the University of East Anglia Frank Cogliano Professor of American History at the University of Edinburgh.
