Hello everyone and welcome once again to Motos and Friends, brought to you by the spectacular Yamaha R7 – a new generation of supersport machine. Nic de Sena recently spent the day in Malibu with the 2023 MV Agusta Dragster RR SCS America. This is the limited edition model with the lovely red white and blue livery. Nic takes us through his thoughts on the Dragster's specs and ride, and also includes his thoughts on how the proprietary SCS automatic clutch works and fits into the Dragster persona.    John Ulrich and his son Chris started the Roadracing World Action Fund non-profit in 2001, with the goal of buying air-fence rider protection for use around American racetracks. They have been spectacularly successful. One of their main ways to raise money is by having ex-Superbike Pro racer Chris, take guests on fun, two-up rides around the track at each round of the Moto America series in exchange for a donation—he's raised over $60,000 so far. Teejay Adams got to experience this thrill ride of a lifetime at Brainerd Raceway, and she gives us her impressions of what it's like to cling on for dear life at 160 miles per hour. Spoiler alert: She absolutely loved it. You can check out her on-board video on our YouTube Channel. Donate to RWAF and check out the impressive list of Contributors.   Check out RoadRacing World and Motorcycle Technology magazine.   In our second feature segment, Cat McLeod of Leod Escapes comes back to chat with Teejay about traveling in Europe including some handy gear and packing tips. The always-lively and very entertaining Cat gives us the dos and don'ts of how to  travel and hopefully avoid making a fool of yourself when you're embedded in a foreign-language (to us!) country.

[publish_podcast] This week we look at PFAS Chemicals - Otherwise called "Forever Chemicals" Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or forever chemicals are being found all throughout the world as their use has risen over the past 6 plus decades. PFAS are a family of chemicals known as POPS or persistent organic pollutants as they are reported to not break down easily. They have been found in products like Teflon based nonstick cookware, Scotch Guard and Gortex stain-resistant carpeting and clothing, dental floss, commercial firefighting foams and many types of food packaging. Unfortunately, these toxins have been detected in drinking water, house dust and foods/beverages of common consumption..... We will also discuss children's strengths and hospitals. Enjoy, Dr. M

And today we're looking at a photograph that I wanted to introduce you to add to my portfolio from the Steen's looking up to the Steen's from the Alvord Desert It was I think for about a week or so that we camped in the Alvord on the old lake basin with the playa that's there now is a really beautiful spot and it's very cool. And it's one of my favorite spots in Oregon. And what I liked about this photograph is this is right before the sun rose, where we were camped I think there was so much in the shade as you can kind of tell by the ground there. But what was neat is as you look up the to the eastern wall there that that peak of the steam is rising 1000s of feet higher than where we are in the Alvord. And so the sun shines on that earlier, which was cool to see the dawn light hit the kind of intricate shape of the mountain to the scenes for a few minutes before it rose right where we were around our camp, I just thought was a cool moment. And it's a really beautiful spot to be this was photographed on film with a wide-angle lens and like a Nikon. And it was a great time and I love being up there in Alvord's cool spot I'll probably always talk well a bit, but amazing to see how the landscape has changed just in the way it used to be wet or used to be a lake. And that's just so dry out there. It's amazing how things could change. That's a really interesting way to see it. 1:52 You can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think if you look at Billy Newman under the author's section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism, camping, and cool stuff over there. If like I say I like the October period, you know it's kind of a cool outdoor month for stuff and that's kind of what I'm going to talk about too is kind of layering up stuff for October I've been trying to kind of build up the layers of clothes and layers of like shelter stuff that I have for some of the outdoor travel stuff that I go out and do and I do it on a budget and I don't have much stuff and like other people have a lot more experience of like just getting to try all these different pieces and see like the benefits or the kind of way out the pluses and minuses are different pieces. And so I'm sure it's probably the case that like the best gear is always the best gear. It's kind of interesting to sort of go through those checklists or you know, like kind of in your mind like seeing like what like how's this work or what's better for me for this thing or not. So I've been pretty happy to always have or for the last couple years to have like a vortex range outlay and for a lot of outdoor stuff that I do in Oregon, later into the year that's been like a real lifesaver for having just like a hard waterproof shell that I can like the trust that has like a good hold on it that can keep me dry for most of the day. That along with I guess kinda working inward like the puffy jacket makes a huge difference. And so I use a puffy jacket all the time. There are a few different sizes though and you sort of have to like look at the down-fill layer to see what's going to be best for you and like the climate that you're going out to. That is kind of weird, it goes back and forth through me a little bit. So like out here in Oregon, where I am like west of the Cascades it's sort of a mild climate a lot of the year and so I'm able to I think you're kind of dealing with like above freezing temperatures. Most hours and on most days for the year I think like you know there's some sections of the year where you get some heavy freezes but outside of those storm times it's like pretty mild weather a lot of the time and if I'm going camping or doing something outdoors in the winter I well there are a couple of different types I definitely use it but really for a lot of like the three season work I do I use a light puffy jacket either because North Face thermal thermoball I think it's like a polyester based one. It's not a downfield, puffy jacket but I've used that for maybe six years now and I appreciate you having that. I think it's been great. That's probably one of my most used insulating layers when I'm going out and I mean works great, really all four seasons with the kind of compared and these mild weather circumstances like I am here in Oregon like that paired with that Shell has been enough for me to go out and in almost every kind of weather circumstances I've been in when I've gone out and been working or like when I was working outside a lot in the rain and trying to be si Like most days through the fall and winter, it was really fine to do that with a strong or like a good Gortex shell that keeps you dry all the way and puffy, thermo insulating layer that keeps you warm. So it was pretty cool but kind of comparing that and I have like this Patagonia jacket that I think has a heavier down fill rating and that has a lot of insulation to it, which is cool, warm jackets are great. And I take that out kind of deeper into the winter. But what I noticed though, is that for a lot of circumstances, like I say three season work and while you're working or kind of like physically kind of exerting yourself I've noticed like if it's not below freezing that is too warm of a jacket to wear. And so you kind of get to pick a little bit of like where your, your environmental thresholds are like what kind of environment you spend a lot of time and is it going to be above freezing temperatures or below freezing temperatures? Or is it gonna be hot weather temperatures, like where you're working, you know, your coldest temperatures might be 50, but you're going up toward like the 80s and 90s pretty regularly? And that's kind of a different environment to work into. So I've been kind of trying to keep an eye on that but as we're kind of dropping into October the outfitting stuff that I'm doing is sort of away from the heat gear stuff that I would have been using where I'm in like lighter synthetic shorts and trying to use like lighter layers and stuff like in the winter you kind of get to layer up and stuff we're just got some kind of fun sweater weather right 6:31 what I picked up last year and I'm kind of excited to put some more use into it was a wool baselayer so I got a great wool t-shirt and I kind of appreciate trying to cut out some of the cotton material that I'm using when I'm going out and doing some more outdoor stuff and I guess it's because back in the day cotton was a great revolution right you know, it was a more breathable fabric and it would dry faster than other fabrics that they had available to them I guess is part of what was cool about it. But as I sort of understand now it's one of the riskier types of fabric that you can wear as a base layer when you're out in the woods for a couple of days or when you're out camping or you know the talking TV shows about when you're in a survival situation. Not that but yeah, when you're out camping or if you were gonna go hunting or you're gonna go on a couple of day photo trip in the woods, you're just going to be living out of your truck and stuff, it kind of it ends up being a little difficult to use a lot of cotton pieces especially if you're going to get wet or if it's cold and you don't want to get wet but you do get wet and that's a bummer because the cotton stuff just kind of stays wet and it gets cold when it gets wet. And a couple of those things just sort of lead to it being a little bit frustrating and I guess that's where some of the survival complications of happy with people who are out in okay conditions they get hit with cold rain or wet snow and they're in like an outer let you know their insulating layers but they're like a cotton coating. Or like I guess tough warm-insulated Carhartt jackets on hunting in that they got into some wet snow on the second morning. The car hard wet pants got or the pants that were insulated got wet from the tall grass and brush that they walk through and then the person became hypothermic because of their exposure to the cold that soaked through their pants that got them very cold and I think they had to like ditch the band's get into their sleeping bag it was synthetic and then they try to like to warm them up with a hot water bottle in a sleeping bag or something like that out of the Jetboil but like it ended the trip I think they like they can't continue out of that sort of stuff so it's kind of interesting I like that kind of thing can go and people have probably heard anecdotes like that similarly in the past I'd hear like someone else talking about like a warm weather thing where I think they're going out on like a 42-day canoe trip Can you imagine that like going through some big river system and Labrador up in Canada? Wow, fun times popping out in Hudson Bay or something who knows? But they would go up there and they would talk about like all like the specific limitations on the type of fabrics that they would select to use because like if they got wet in the river, or I think it was like cold weather or who knows what kind of weather you're gonna get sort of circumstance where you go between hot and cold and Canada kayaking or canoeing down 1100 miles or something like that just big long trips like that. And they would kind of be really specific about how like they won't even have cotton boxers or cotton underwear because it'll be the thing that ends up being a problem for other people or another person. I think kind of there are a lot of great ways to sort of work through this next problem, but I think someone argued that they did have cotton on them so that they could use it as a fire starter. If they needed a fire starter. I said Just to just bring a Firestarter or some other material like that I think it would probably get you by a little better than your cotton underwear. The best Firestarter that I've used and heard about was 10:18 well, I mean yeah like a stove or whatever but if you're trying to light a fire in the winter having a plastic bag with Vaseline-dipped cotton swabs was like a pretty inert material. Just like having a backpack that doesn't smell like kerosene or something. And it has multiple uses you can use it cosmetically for everything's our best, if your lips chap, I hate when it gets dry and cold and you go oh man, my pores can't handle it. They were in a different environment. 5000 feet a difference in elevation a day ago, too much change and too much seasonal change. Now you get like, I don't know just rough spots or dry spots or something you use the Vaseline you get the cotton swabs for all sorts of different things, but they're fantastic. If you light that up. It's a great little flame ball and you can use that with a stack of your other dry materials to get a fire going. Even in pretty wet conditions especially if you're kind of keeping your Firestarter material protected. And some little party backpacks give it a try and stuff that works out pretty well. And I think it works better than your underwear on a rafting trip. So but yeah, I've heard of that. Yeah, people, people try to not use that people try to like drop their leather belts. Like they won't take a leather belt out into the woods either. Like I wouldn't like a sturdy belt. Like what you see people like big leather boots or whatever it's not because it gets washed, and waterlogged. But I guess because it's maybe a weight thing. I think that's what the idea was for. Maybe they're like going backpacking and using a piece of nylon webbing as a belt at that time. or other stuff we're like, I don't know just little tricks and things of like how you kind of hide certain materials and other materials and stuff. But it's weird how it goes. So I guess yeah, cotton stuff is sort of a go. They talk about using wool a lot as sort of like a preferred material to make it out of or down here like down stuff is kind of a preferred material. And then I also kind of hear similarly, sided, bad things about sort of the petroleum develop products that you get from polyesters or nylons, or I guess like the polyester insulating foams, you get like those thermo ball insulating foam bits that would be in the pouches of another polyester material that makes up like the puffy jacket that I wear. For the Patagonia one that's a downfield, puffy jacket. You have little goose feathers poking, poking out of it all the time, too. Yeah, I feel like you feel around the right way a little goose feather I'll punch out the side and pull it out a little feather right there a little down feather, which is kind of trippy. But those I guess are like a better insulating system. Then like the synthetic kind of oil-based stuff. I guess the same goes for like sleeping bags too. If you want to get into like a sleeping bag to keep you warm. There's something like the 15-degree bags that are well, I don't know, I think it has a couple of other features too. I guess it's like light and it stretches down well. And if you get it wet, you can get a drag and well I guess it depends on like certain qualities down sometimes that kind of get I think is a little tricky. But the wall I guess you can get, you can have to get wet, you'll stay warm, and you can get it dry faster. And I think that's sort of the benefit of the wall on the animal that gets wet too. You know, like if you think about sheep getting rained on all the time, I guess it's sort of part of the fibers that it doesn't attract a lot of odor because it has to be on an animal all the time. And I guess it does well to not have to, like make you cold when it gets wet. I guess that's a big part of it. So a lot of the merino wool fabrics that have come out, or the merino wool blends that are with some little bit of spandex or some other kind of natural fiber product that they try and put in helps to kind of be a little bit more durable when they have those little blends. But mostly you want a pretty strong merino wool fabric. And that's pretty cool if you're getting sort of like a base layer, or something like that it's a little bit more tuned for the outdoors like wool sweaters or something that you can find but that's not quite their cool old white shirts, you know, like an old old Pendleton shirt or an old Filson shirt that's like a loggers kind of wool button that would go under like a canvas jacket. I kind of think is cool but that's sort of a different look. And it used to be the technical gear layering and probably still you'd see if you get like, I don't know like a horse guide like a guided trip with a horse or a mule or something like that. That's the pack and a bunch of stuff. They probably still use gear that's sort of similar to that. Without the kind of like the technical synthetic gear that you try and find it like Rei hiking places or something or wherever whatever else similarly branded but yeah it's cool trying to do some wool Merino underlayers trying to work with those puffy jackets when they can 15:19 try to work with lavish a soft shell that gets a lot less useful than it used to be. I used to try new soft shells all the time but I just kind of go with the wool, the wool base layer, The North Face kind of wore you know like a warmer temperature-rated puffy jacket and then have the GoreTex layer over that picked up a hat this year. That's pretty cool that boots had a couple of different sets of boots for the October stuff before it gets really heavy in the season before it gets like real wet or rainy. Now while I'm kind of doing some of this lighter outdoor stuff I have like a pair of heavy leather boots that are super cool for some of that deeper hiking stuff that you get into especially after it's wet and rainy and stuff but really for a lot of the light season stuff and sort of summer spring stuff. I have these Nike s FB boots it's like that military dude I picked them up in brown like a desert tan color. And then I also picked up a similar pair that under armor makes and so they're kind of like a lighter, more athletic shoe from the base but they have like kind of tall neck that goes up to like your mid-upper ankle there. And so it's not like a real table or like it's not like galoshes they're not waterproof they're kind of vent on the sides and they dry out they're kind of like a synthetic material that dries out pretty quick when you do get it wet but it also has like a good bit of tread and you can get wet get them dry and wet. I think they're kind of made for an okay dry environment that's sort of where I use most of the time you know hiking around for any of this kind of lighter duty for us that was nice because they're light boots like with those other heavy leather ones like just the soles of the boots seem like they pound each you know you kind of like feel it the first couple of days you getting back into the use of them during the season where you're like man my feet are like four pounds heavier it seems like each just kind of like walking with a weight on it. So it's nice to have one of the newer sorts of higher tech boots that don't have the same kind of ankle support as a thicker leather boot does or they don't have the same kind of heel support. I like to talk about like those you know thick like a two-inch heel or something that like one of those whites boots has or if you get like Red Wings they have like a real deep thick heel on it that you can use to kind of stomp in and cut in on some hiking stuff and these Yeah, it's just kind of like a good sort of smooth walking boot and you get some ankle support from that that tall neck but it's sort of fabric so that it seems like it you're just it's a light boot and seems like you're ready to run and you can do like an athletic maneuver in these pretty well and it doesn't seem like the boots gonna be too heavy to slow you down not right for every circumstance like if I'm going in a deeper area it's cool it's nice to have like the kind of protection of a steel toed leather boot but like the normal s sfbs I think are not a steel toe I think I think these Under Armour ones though are there are steel toe versions that are out there. But that does seem to I've kind of run into a few circumstances where for some of the more woodsy stuff it seems like having the steel toe has helped a lot to keep my feet protected and stuff and if you hate gonna lie you gotta watch out for blisters and stuff too. One of the big things I've noticed to help that is like really breaking in your shoes with three weeks or more but three weeks of like pretty near full-time use to start getting them broken in or to get kind of the feel the break the crease the kind of the fabric kind of working together in the way that it's going to fit around your body and stuff but yeah, it seems like it takes about three weeks to sort of get those issues broken into a spot that that ends up being uncomfortable for longer trips and longer where I had like a pair of chocobos then this jacket was they were great you know that you don't wear socks you don't like buffer it with wool socks or something but I remember I think working with those for like three weeks or so at first your feet, man, they will rub raw 19:25 Yeah. Yeah, they'll you'll get some hot spots with the webbing on those chocolates. It's like this really kind of tough webbing but after like three weeks or so like after you kind of wear your foot into it so that it's kind of strong enough to deal with it. And you also start breaking in the rubber of the boot or the rubber of that foot for the shoe. You're your foot. But once you get that all kind of broken and I was able to hike for miles and miles and have no rub problems at all. I think I did. I think I did the whole hiking trip up to the summit. The paintbrush divide and the cascade Can you know like the Teton's chip I talked about some times But yeah, I did that whole hiking trip of the Tetons in early, mid-late September, probably right around now. But I did that trip in the Tetons, with just those, those black shakos that I had had like kind of that boot tread bottom and I did great through that whole chip I did like a 42-mile trip down the lower road that was like a hiking backpacking trip so you have a background backpack on you got these little river shoes on and you're hiking away on the trail and yeah, a lot of the times if you're not really in shape for it man, those will just rip your feet up pretty badly and I've seen it affect people's trips before you know like where their shoes just like really start to bite in on them. And it happens fast. As soon as you get like a hotspot or something it can be just a quarter mile or another mile and then like that, that problem has been exacerbated a lot. So as soon as like gets bad boom man gets bad fat or it starts to degrade fast and then once it's gone it's gone on for a while, you know so it's bad and it can cause some mobility problems when you're out there. So I think kind of to kind of deal with some of that stuff. We're kind of breaking them in earliest School, which is what I've been trying to do with some of my shoes but yeah, trying to get outfitted for this stuff in October it's been kind of fun trying to work out the layers and stuff.

And I want to get back into that in a way because right now I don't have a film camera with me, I still have the Nikon en ad floating around. Though I'm short a lens or you know that's what I'm saying is like I've kind of made it an investment now into this whole range of focal lengths that have been quite nice pieces of glass over on the Canon side now. And so I'd like an opportunity to be able to take those photographs on film with that range of glass that I now have available to me. So what I'm looking at trying to do is, is trying to pick up one of these older now but one of these older but one of the last runs of film cameras that canon had put out and so I was looking around and trying to do some research for that. When I talked to you guys before about it. In the podcast, I was mentioning that I picked up a Nikon F for a camera that was the fully manual camera or you know like no I don't it wasn't for me anyway, I think it was autofocus and I had a whole color matrix It was one of the first cameras have that color matrix auto system in it where you could kind of like set it up. But nav has a lot of those same features what I'm trying to do to get to the point is I'm looking at the EOS line of film cameras that canon produced in the 1990s and the 2000s. And there's a lot of opportunities there where you can pick up a very nice camera body that you know shoot film, and that would kind of accompany the five D Mark three and all the Canon lenses that I have now. So I was looking at the EOS one n which I think is the camera that can come out in 1994 it looks quite a bit like a five-D body shape but it's not like that. It was it's not the oversize body but it looks you know just kinda like that camera SLR body style. And as a bunch of the features on the back, I think has that roller wheel that canon users have gotten accustomed to it probably was one of the first cameras to introduce that big roller wheel to control your F stop, and then the other roller on the front to control your aperture. So it was kind of it's interesting how it's laid out. But it feels like it looks almost the same way. So I'm looking around at those that came out in 1994. And then in the year 2000. They had come out with the EOS one DC one n before. What was it? I think I wrote it down over here. I can't remember what it was. There was the one and maybe the one h sunray. What would it have been? Let's look here is the one v that's I think the one I'm looking for. Yeah, the one V is that the film camera that canon produced in the year 2000, and probably up through like 2006 or 2007 or 2008 there's probably even new versions of that body that are still around if you notice those hardcore film users out there, so I'm looking around at some of those on the US market, I think they're like three, four, maybe 500 bucks if it's kind of on the higher end of expense but but I'm looking at some of those and it seems like it'd be kind of an interesting purchase to pick one of those up, then it could be shooting you know, film images like I have had an interest in doing with a professional body that kind of matched a lot of the same layout and workflow that that the five D Mark three that I'm using has, so I'm pretty interested in that and then I can use all this L class that I've been making a purchase of two so I have the super wide angle, or I don't know is it super wide, I think it's just a wide angle zoom for that 17 to 40 millimeter f4 I've got the 24 to 72 a i would have the 70 to 200 USM f4 and then I would have a couple prime lenses on top of that so it's like a pretty full collection of glass that I could use to make a whole bunch of different types of art or you know, like different different photographs different pieces that I'd be interested in trying to produce. And you know, like a lot of the film stuff I was I was building like all the stuff that was on that film book that I put together that was almost all done with a Nikon 50 millimeter f1 A and maybe like a couple of manual focus lenses that I should not have been using actually kind of knowing better now. The optics of those we're always kind of thanks a lot for checking out this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast.

Anyone who's been lucky enough to receive the Freedom of the City of London is, to a Freeman or Free Sister, asked if that means they are going to drive their sheep over London Bridge. This ancient medieval right was long abandoned but has made a cunning reappearance in recent years. Alan Titchmarsh has done it. It's annoying because he pops up doing just about everything that I might have fancied doing, (except the gardening – that's me not him). Sheep driving is a charitable event these days and that's how Alan got the gig. No better photo opportunity than Alan in a three piece herding thirty sheep over the bridge. The Clerk to the Court of the City of London warned me that Freeman and Free Sisters who whose sheep wander down Borough High Street without prior arrangement, may find themselves subject to the long arm of the law. I'm not a Free Radical, and since I know for certain that they don't serve loose leaf Earl Grey tea in any Metropolitan Police custody suite, I'm reluctant to take the risk and surrender my freedom to drink the tea of my choice. However strong my desire to become a sheep herder, I'll have to wait for a charitable opportunity. Since my cause is #Vision Foundation, I doubt that anyone will be fighting for me to lead the charge let alone bring up the rear of a flock of sheep. There is not a lot of call for sheep herders who may not be able to tell an ewe from a mini metro, let alone a ram. I fear I have missed the little Bo Peep boat. Only my imagination can propel me over that bridge. In it, I'm looking more like Alison Steadman's portrayal of Mrs. Bennet than Tess of the D'Urbervilles, which would have been my preference. Come to think of it, had Tess survived the tragedies of her love life, she might have ended up looking like Mrs. Bennet. I shouldn't want to be seen as a bleater, and setting aside the limitations of my imagination for a moment, a good cause could yet prove the opportunity I've been waiting for. I might have to take it, not in crinoline or cheesecloth, which does rather dash the swirl of romanticism I have about all those sheep. I'd have to opt for #gortex, a sensible pair of shoes and a tweed hat. I may be entering Brenda Blethyn territory now. Should anything go wrong, should one of those sheep push another of those sheep off the bridge and into the murky depths of the Thames, I will be well placed to get to the bottom of it. Not the river itself. I'm not planning on jumping in after the stricken mutton. No. like Brenda's portrayal of DCI Vera Cleves, I will not be making an actual leap, but a leap of faith, in order to solve the riddle of the lost sheep. Sheep herding may not have quite the level of romanticism others look for in a day out, but I might start a bucket list. Considering the amount of nerves that any sheep imported for a trot over London bridge may feel, I'd need a bucket. I'll add a shovel while I'm at it. That will be something for my charitable support team to do as they clear the path ahead of me, less sheep nerves get the better of me and I'm involved in a fatal accident.

Show notes:Links:Sweaty StartupHook RelaySpider seasonWrite for HoneybadgerAutomated transcript (only about 75% accurate)Ben  So I've been, I've been using Hook Relay over the past week and I got to say, there's nothing as useful as using your own product to make you see places where the product can be improved. So I've, I've opened a couple of issues. Yeah, yeah. And uh, I mean, they're not, they're not major things, but it's like, oh, it would be nice if this was different, would be nice if that was, you know, different. And it's been, it's been good. So I'm, I'm looking forward to having those things done making the product better. And we, uh, you know, we talked about spending some more time, uh, development time on really the other couple next coming weeks and months because I've had some, some customer requests coming in. So Ben  it's always a good feeling like when people are actually using it and saying, oh yeah, I like it, but couldn't do this like, Oh yeah, I could do that. It's fun. I love it. I love being developer and just building stuff. So much fun. Yeah. Josh  Yeah. Looking at our, our dashboard, we've got uh, got a few New year's is coming in. Got some a little bit more revenue than last time I looked at this, so that's cool. Starr  Yeah, that's good stuff. You know, it's the season for it. The, the pacific Northwest summer is long gone and we're just into the dark, wet now. We've gone through a spider season. Yeah, I mean, right, you've got um, yeah, you've got the summer, you've got spider season, you've got dark with it. Josh  Is that from that like list of pacific Northwest Seasons or whatever, that's like . Starr  You can, you can call me out on that. I was hoping to um, I was hoping to plagiarize. Josh  We should, we should put that in the show notes if we can find it though. That's a pretty good one. Starr  Yeah, that's a good one. Josh  I don't remember them all, but Ben  I'm definitely, definitely more productive in the winter time because like, I'm not outside playing, I'm inside hunkering down from the rain, the cold, so I'm like, I might as well do some code. Josh  Yeah, Starr  I mean, personally, I kind of um like I kind of stopped going on my morning walks in the summer because there's too many amateurs out. Yeah. And I started again once the fall comes, once it starts getting dark and drizzly and those are my favorite morning walks. Josh  Nice even in the rain. Starr  Yeah, especially in the rain, get out. Yeah, that's why you have a nice like Gortex raincoats and my scoots. Yeah, it's all about the gear. Yeah, it's uh, I don't know, this is very pleasant. I like it. The, yeah, the summer here, like it's nice, but after a while, the sun just, just starts getting to me. It's just like, I can't escape it. It's just boring into my eyeballs. Ben  It is truly a thing around here when the sun has been out too long has been to many is people do get a little so crazy. Like I need some wet and so the first rainy day comes, you can just feel the relief. It's just, it's just, I don't know how to describe it. It's just a sense of community, like relieved that things are back to normal. There's, there's precipitation again. Starr  Yeah, I came up with a theory and I have no idea how valid the series, so I'm just going to throw it out there because it's unfounded and I'm wondering, so like I realize this, this winter, this, yeah, this fall as I'm going out. It's like, okay, like the reason I, like this is because like everything is more muted, right? And I get over stimulated very easily. So, you know, noise and late and all that just kind of does it to me. Starr  And but when it's like dark and gray, like for like, I don't know, this may just be my, my perception, but like the water vapor like mutes the sound a little bit or something. It's not quite everything. Like all the edges are more round and pleasant, nothing is quite as sharp and stab. E And so yeah, and Seattle Seattle is like the pacific northwest in general. It's just like, it draws in like all the computer nerds, all the, all the people who just like it here and like that kind of environment. So it's like, oh do we all just, you know, we all have like sensory issues. I don't know. Josh  That's why all the tech companies are in Seattle. Yeah, probably. I think I need to get an office still because I think like, I think, I think Ben's right, like I I also would be more productive in the winter, but like working from home in the winter with with uh like Kindergartners is a a different experience than working at home in the dark by yourself. It's a bit of a challenge. So yeah, Starr  when you turn on the lights while you're working, you don't just leave them off. Josh  Yeah, sometimes I leave them off. Oh yeah, Starr  that's because you're a real hacker, I've been doing more marketing stuff lately. So I turn the lights on. I use light mode. Josh  I mean you probably forgot how to touch type, you know, and use them with you shut up, Starr  shut up. Shut up, you shut up. I get to say that. Not you. Josh  So you have to have the lights on. I'm sorry. Starr  Yeah, I don't have one of those keyboard with a blank key caps. Josh  Like truth be told. I've been um doing a lot less programming than I used to as well. And it's, it started to bother me a little bit lately. So I've been trying to find ways to get back into it because I'm like, if I'm gonna like forget how to build a rails app if I don't, if I don't like, you know, do some do some work. Ben  We do have like  items in our backlog for Honey badgers. It's true. She can find something to do. Yeah. Josh  I don't know, it's just weird like having like a legacy rails out for so long um Like even when you are working, like even when you do work in it, it's still like, I don't know, like your, it's, you know, I'm like not utilizing a lot of the knowledge that I built up like, like we we all built up working on client projects, like where you're constantly solving new problems and like building things out. Like a lot of those decisions are already have long been made in a honey badger app. So it's like, yeah, it's, it's weird. It's a little bit different. Ben  That's been nice about having the side project because like starting a new rails app and making new decisions and trying the new things and new toys like hotwire and you know, stimulus reflex, all kind of stuff. Like it's, it's been, it's been fun. But hey, you know, maybe uh you know, talking about client work like, hey, take on some client work, right? It could uh do something completely different and take on Josh  an option for sure. Yeah, I thought that could be fun. Ben  Good old days Josh  build a green field, a green field ap Yeah, Josh  this I mean, I think we're talking about like the problem of like what to do with your time when you're, you're like app is like nine years old and stable and, and you have all this time on your hands and you know, want to still build new things, right? Starr  Yeah, I've got a question like for, I mean, y'all probably don't know because you haven't been freelancing for a while. But to all the freelancers out there, do do people still um do people still higher developers to build like, you know, facebook for x. Like it's like, I just remember working on so many like facebook for so and so um facebook for um nurses, facebook for, you know, whoever and it turned out the facebook for all those groups with facebook, Josh  right? Was that before facebook groups. Starr  I think so. Yeah. Yeah I think so it was. Yeah. It's just weird Josh  because it's like I was our era I mean like for sure like our era freelancing was the facebook for ex Yeah Starr  because like the social media like the social network had just come out that movie about facebook and so I really wanted to be the next facebook by copying facebook for some vertical. Ben  I was just I was thinking back to the are kind of projects that we built you know, talking about the facebook for X stuff and uh I think I was like what was my favorite project and the one that I can remember maybe so I guess it's probably my favorite because when I remember the most and remember the most kindly is the Montessori project that we did. That was a lot of fun. Yeah. Remember started a lot of work on Josh  that project. Still around you know. Ben  Yeah, it's like still making bank. Mhm. It's gonna be like  years older now by now or something. Yeah. That's awesome. I wonder if it's still on rails too. Josh  Yeah Caitlin was doing some shopping for the kids last night and she was looking at Baden kids brand. There are many many Baden and I don't know if that name rings a bell with you Ben but it doesn't because they were one of the they were one of the affiliate shops with today shop flashbacks man. I'm much. Yeah I have all these like I've had all these like kids kids clothing brands like just like programmed into my brain for the last  years now. And now that I actually have kids like they're all resurfacing. So Starr  that's where that was like another that was like another um era which was the um it wasn't the facebook for X. It was the product aggregator. Like we're gonna make we're gonna make a website that aggregates lots of products across you know for different companies and we're just gonna be like an affiliate. We're gonna be really good. S. E. O. Josh  Yeah it was like the um and and that trend was like kind of I mean amazon was definitely around then but it was like I think these days like amazon is now where everything is pretty much aggregated like that. So this was like I don't know it seems like pre pre amazon like at least in their current scale. Starr  Yeah I mean amazon missed out on that. Sweet sweet. A sai Buri affiliate money though. Uh huh. Or it's like you got I don't know what it was like  or  bucks if he was an affiliate could like sign somebody up first. The scam a sai buri like subscription service. Well what it was just affiliates but it was a scan because it was recurring charge and people weren't familiar with getting recurring charges. Yeah so um well you don't Josh  want to boost your health just once. Oh no. And then lose out on all those benefits. So you're really I mean that's like in the that's in the interest of the customer star. Starr  Exactly. One of my friends worked um back then worked at a ah the call center for a bank and like half of her calls or just people like what the hell? Like why am I keep getting charged for this? Josh  Like all of your support requests or start with what the hell you work in a bank. Ben  Yeah. There's a lot of fun things to do when the projects are new and it's all green field. But then, you know, there's also fun things to do when the projects are nine years old. You know, like I was pleasantly surprised on monday morning to find that our database server had failed on sunday morning. You know, it's like, Oh really? That that happened. But our our high availability set up actually worked and the fail over happened and it's just like nothing, nothing happened. I mean these days of course you? Re wild, you would not even set that up, right? You just use already s or you would, you know, there's there's like a gazillion post graze as a service services out there now. But you know, back in my day, you know, we had to push the bits uphill both ways. Right. Mhm. Josh  So yeah. Imagine if the database server failed in like year two. Yeah, back on, back on snickers. Starr  Yeah. Yeah. Well our servers were named after candy bars. Candy bars were Josh  still I love that. We're still on first name first name basis with all of our old servers. Ben  Uh My favorite tricks though, Josh  tricks. Yeah, Starr  I mean it makes sense why that whole hosting platform didn't really work out for us because Trix are for kids been. Ben  I know, I know, but then my kids were young enough then it made sense. Josh  Yeah, these drinks, we should build a we should we should do a client project just for fun. I mean and obviously Starr  obviously right, Ben  your friends but of course is gonna be for money. Yeah. Josh  The great thing about client projects is like you get to build them and then and then you get to like, never see them again. Ben  It's like, it's like, it's like being grandparents right where you can send the kids back to the parents like oh we'll have some fun, will spoil the kid and then send them back to be the parents so you can grow this little rails app and you can have some fun with it and then send it off, you know? And Josh  yeah, yeah. And then you're like, you're like, oh I wonder what happened to deteriorate. Starr  Like a couple of years later, you were like, oh, I wonder what happened to little timmy and see a google him and he's dead. Uh huh. Josh  Yeah. Four little timmy. Mhm. Yeah, there's um I unfortunately I think a lot of my old client projects are in that category, but I think that's just kind of the way it goes. Ben  But you know, I remember the primary struggle that we had the with the ones that didn't, one that weren't reported means I was like, what do we do with it now? Because we like to building new things, but we didn't really like running them, you know, we didn't wanna be on the hook. And so it was like, it's great, you have this new app go enjoy, right? And they're like, yeah, but you know what about something breaks? It's like, oh, well, good luck, you know? Yeah, I Josh  was thinking about that recently, like, like does that still fly? Like what do people do these days? Like, I don't know. Ben  I would like to know Josh  if you have a non technical, like, I don't like, to be honest, um you had a knack for like finding those people that seem to been because like, you find these people that are just like nontechnical. They they just have an idea like, you know, they're like, like Star said, like the whatever facebook facebook for X people, but like, they just have you just build it for them? And then yeah, they would kind of just be like, now I'm I'm like, I'm a tech founder now, Starr  can I tell a funny story about um So I used to live in Tulsa Oklahoma is where I went to college and live there for a little while after and one day I was at like a local coffee shop and there was this guy who actually, I saw a couple times at the coffee shop who just um was chatting up the brief, such adding up everybody around him about this app idea. He had um called the love button, which is just, oh my God, like that, that name, but it's called the Love button. And uh basically it's not, it's not a dating app though, which is like, you know, you're winning when you have to explain that your product name isn't what people think it is originally at first glance, it's not a dating app. It's a uh Starr  it's about like you can put in like what do I love to do? I love carpentry so I can press the love, but you have to press it, it's important. And then it um he didn't say this, but I was sort of imagine like a slot machine type, you know, spinning type thing, like whirling and then it pops up the people nearby you who also love that thing so you can stalk them. Uh huh Ben  uh huh. I was with you right up to that Stockport. Starr  I mean, well, I mean that's I had at that part, but I mean, it's like we've seen what happens to the internet, we've seen having to go, Josh  it just like has their contact information. Like it's a Starr  yeah, it's just, it's like, it's a way for, yeah, it's a way for people to have uncomfortable interactions. So it's like, Ben  it's like chatroulette but in real life, Starr  in real life. Yeah, I'm just sitting there like why the hell would anybody ever consent to that ever? But maybe I wasn't the target market, you know, Ben  mm maybe, maybe not just trying to think. You definitely want to involve a map of nearby welded locations for people to meet up. Josh  Maybe you just don't love anything enough to press the button. Yeah, maybe you like really have to be into something Starr  and then it just shames you. It's like, hey, what's the matter? Josh  I mean like to be fair like craigslist exists and like people, people do like respond to all kinds of things on craigslist and I'm sure are not in well lit locations. So you know, maybe this, maybe this love button app has like a, you know, has like a pivot or something. Starr  Yes, I mean, I don't know, maybe he was going to pivot it to grinder, who knows? Ben  Yeah, Well, you know, another option to just building apps would be buying apps right? We could hang out on micro require and, or flipper or someplace and uh, you know, for these for these developers who built the thing and don't want to run it. You can just buy it and then we can run, Josh  no, I think there's, I think there's probably something there potentially for us because we, we have some of the experience now that maybe they don't, they didn't um, you know the people that someone that just build something to a certain point. So, and we have a marketing engine so we could potentially like acquire something and then plug it in to our existing systems. So that could be fun. Like, you know, I mean like this is like instead of, you know, like, like I got a friend in construction and him and his dad like flip houses, you know, like that's the, the thing they do but are, are flipping houses is like flipping flipping SAs apps I think because you know, that's like our, maybe someday you'll be um flipping saps with your, with your boys. But Ben  mm hmm. Uh huh. We'll have a show on tv about that, you know, let's take it to the next level. Instead of just buying zaps and flipping it. Let's, let's get investors. Let's get some, some, some of the partners up in here and we can use their money to go buy the apps and then we'll run them for a while. Then maybe sell them. Then we can be like those cool kids that are out there like buying all these as apps and doing the investment thing, right? Josh  Yeah, I like it. These are good ideas Starr  are private and private equity firms. The cool kids. Yeah. Yeah. I guess I guess you're right for some value of cool, right? Ben  If you ask the private equity firms, they will say yes, they are the cool kids. Starr  Yeah. Josh  There's a lot of new types of private equity these days. It seems Josh  okay. Yeah. We need to take stuff. Ben  Yeah exactly. Take advantage of this new micro pipeline like you know, tiny seed and calm fund, right? We need to, we need a pipeline like okay, those are the feeding into the pipeline and then we do some magic somewhere along the process, right? And then outcomes bigger companies and we make money somehow. It's kind of funny but I think we can make it happen Starr  if you just took all those platforms up to each other in a circle, you get uh infinite motion machine, right? Oh. Mhm. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger until somebody goes to jail. Josh  I thought you got like an R. Burrows. So I hear you pronounce that the snake eating its own tail. Starr  Yeah. Ben  Or we could go in a completely different direction. I saw a tweet from Patio  this morning where he was uh he was referencing a tweet from sweaty startup and if you don't, if not familiar sweaty startup, you really got to go check that out because that's, that's some cool stuff. Like he hangs out and read it, his cool beans. We'll put some links in the show notes if you can check it out. But somebody started up dude uh he bought like a storage company, self storage company and like applied software to the process because like they were still like, you know, pushing paper around or whatever. It was old school and then really like juice that business and made it pretty cool investment and so Ben  thinking, yeah, we could, we could do that, we could go, we could go old school and get all these old school businesses that are not online and apply our our marketing juice and Josh  tear it up. I'm down to buy like a brick and mortar. Yeah or something. Um Just first of all though, you can't introduce what the startup guy as sweaty startup guy. He's the tomato guy right? Like this is the guy that was like trying to sell like it was like bragging about how he could like whatever like like grow a tomato farm to like a billion dollars. But he Ben  was sweating startup guy before he was tomato guy. Josh  Well because that was, you don't start that was an epic troll. Did you did you catch that at the end? Like it's it's pretty amazing like. Yeah, it turns out that guy really like that. Really not like he knows his shit apparently. And I mean like probably also know like I'm like having like followed him a little bit like seen some of the things he said like I might be inclined to like listen to him on the tomato thing, Josh  Maybe I can make a fortune of tomatoes, you know. Mhm. Ben  Mhm. As long as you don't live in Seattle where it rains nine months out of you. Ben  Yeah, no sweat. He started like I've been following him on Reddit for the longest time and I just love, obviously not every idea is genius, right? But I do love his approach. Like get in there, do the work, do the work that other people aren't willing to do or that people are just haven't really caught on to yet. Like one of his, one of his classic things is like just go start a pressure washing company right? Go knock on your neighbor's doors and see if they want their driveway pressure washed and then and then pressure wash it right? And then you do that and you get some gaming experience and you provide a quality service and lo and behold now you've got a business, right? So I think I just like his his ethos of just go in there, Ben  do the work and try to make it happen as opposed to right, You know. Mhm. Sit back and complain or whatever. You know, it's just kind of like the I just like that I would Josh  I would hire that person by the way um because I could use some pressure washing like the moss around my house is just out of control Ben  really. Again pacific northwest Yeah, Josh  you know that's pretty cool. Um And I like the just the thought of like I mean they're so it feels like there's so many um little I mean there's so many business problems out there that are in the real world that will they need a software solution and um will eventually happen. Um It just like it seems like in order to solve those problems you have to have some sort of like actual like proximity to the problem. So like maybe the way to like get into those problems is just to go out and start doing more stuff in the real world and see where you know like see where the pain points are. Ben  So you're saying if you want to build software for dentist you've got to become a dentist. Josh  Yeah. I don't know like at least like yeah work it in reception or something or have a lot of cavities just go like do stuff for oh yeah, just be a repeat customer for this. Ben  Yeah. Yeah. I just I just love how there's so many ways to make money on the internet. It's amazing. Starr  Yeah but the sai buri opportunities are long gone. That started a long time ago unfortunately. Josh  I think we'll see more. We'll definitely see more internet scams in the future though. So hope is not lost. Ben  You mean like thank goodness. Josh  Oh shots fired. Josh  I like I really want to see just like a like a smart contract. MLM. I mean like I think there might be something out there, but like, I want to see one. I just want to see one succeed, you know? Um Ben  Okay. You have to, you have to be the change that you want to see in the world job. Uh huh. That means you have to do it yourself. Josh  I know. I don't know if I can, I just don't understand that world. Like, I don't know. Like, I'm sure I could go like build, yeah, like comprehend the technology. But I just, I don't know. I'm just not motivated to at all. Like I've kind of tried a little bit, but Ben  yeah. Yeah. I'm still the old guy shaking fist at cloud stage of N. F. T. S. I'm like, I don't get it. Get off my lawn. Yeah. Josh  Well, there will be something there. I'm sure the FTS necessarily just in, in the, in the technology in the future. Ben  But my one of my sons who's really into tech and keeps on top of these things every time I say N. F. T. He's like money laundering. I think that's a really Matic response. It's like, well, okay, I'll trust you Josh  get that kid. A twitter account. Ben  Yeah. That's, that's interesting. Things like my kids not into facebook, not into twitter, you know, there's not Starr  social network for old. Tiktok Ben  absolutely hate Tiktok. Yeah, It's like, it's the opiate of the masses. It's like, well, okay, that's technically. True. Starr  Yeah. I don't know. I really like to talk. It really depends on like, where um like what like you follow and all that. It's, you know, it's just like twitter and that really? Josh  Yeah, yeah, I, I signed up for a Tiktok account recently just to check it out and see like what, where the rabbit holes go and um kind of scared me a little bit, but I mean maybe that's because I was like trying to see how bad it was versus how good it was. So maybe I should do a different experiment where like, I only Starr  like the trick is to take on cat videos or whatever trick is to like follow the things that you like and then you'll get more of those and all the things you don't like, you'll get more of those, Ben  yep. So you said it was scary was more or less scary than kid Youtube. Josh  Uh I haven't really, I don't know like, I mean just the whole idea of Kid Youtube is scary, so it might be just different kind of different things, but just like the algorithm, like the algorithmic bubble that Tic Tac seems to create. Like, I mean, all of these, all of those services have that, but like maybe it's because like the videos are so short and there's so many like strangers that you can end up following or whatever, but it just seems like you could like someone who doesn't understand how that works, could easily end up in some sort of like alternative universe. Uh you know, Yeah, yeah, again, I have Starr  used as um I don't know, it's interesting to me because it's like much more than other, much more than other services. You can really see the algorithm at work. Like be like, okay, you're, you're like testing me to see if I like this um carpentry videos where people take these very expensive, expensive looking hand planes and then like play like take minute lee thin shavings of very expensive looking wood. Um So you watch the whole video, so I'm gonna give you like three more of those. We're gonna see how you do on those. And um and then like sometimes it gives you things that you're just like, nope. So it's like, I just don't want the algorithm just just see that I'm watching this, so I'm just not even gonna try. Josh  Yeah. You have to like, you have to tend to tend your algorithm. Yeah. But in order to do that, you have to understand that that's what you're doing. I think we're in a good position to do that. Yeah, Starr  But also just like the tactic, the tactic, What am I saying? The content on Tiktok? I think it's in my brain, it's I'm just nothing I say is like everything I say is it's going to become some variant of Tiktok um the content I found it's like, I don't know, like, I I and much happier, like looking at Tiktok because it's like you know, I don't know, I guess I'm just looking at happy or content. The Josh  content is so like the whole like the niche aspect of the content, like you said, like the narrowest type of video, like, like a hobby but where people are like, you know like whatever creating very thin strips of wood and there's some sort of like, you know, just like they can feed you very specific types of videos to see like and then you can get into that like specific like subset of like whatever woodworking video. It's not you're not even into woodworking at that point. You just ended this like very like Misha part of it. Starr  Yeah. I don't know. That's well, see I'm sure I'll get bored bored with it eventually. Josh  I don't think you will. Starr  You know, it's ever renewing stream of just Josh  delicious content. I trust trust algorithm, you trust, Starr  I trust in the algorithm to josh to Josh  keep you to keep you engaged. Yeah. Yeah. Starr  Okay um you all have been listening to another episode of founder quest if you want to um review us on apple podcast or whatever it's called these days, go for it. Um You want to write for our blog and we've got to write first page on there at honey badger to I  slash blog um scan for the right for us link, that's your first assignment. Um Until yeah. Until then. Um See you later. 

“The Night Before Christmas in the Adirondack Mountains”Written by Kinnon AppletonAdapted from Clement C. Moore's poem, “The Night Before Christmas”T'was the night before Christmas, and all through the ParkThere was snow softly falling, it was quiet and dark.The backpacks were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that St. Nicholas would bring some new gear.The hikers were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of summit views danced in their heads.And me in my tech wick and my darn tough socks,I just couldn't sleep; I dreamed of climbing those ice-covered rocks.When out of my window I saw the moon rising,I gathered my gear and I started off driving.Down the road to the Loj I sped with great hast,Not a moment more of this night did I dare want to waste.The moon it did glisten on the new fallen snowSo I laced up my boots and I started to go.When what to my wondering eyes did appear,But a view of the High Peaks so close and so near.With their summits jutting up into the night sky,I knew in a moment up the trail I must fly.More rapid than eagles the mountain views cameAnd I whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:“Up Marcy, up Redfield, up Gray, Cliff, and WrightUp Street and up Nye and then on to Skylight”To the top of the mountains, I must reach every summit.“I can do this,” I said, I know hiker's who've done it.Trekking poles in my hands and snowshoes on feet,I was making great time, not a moment to eat.So up to the mountain tops, this hiker he flew,With my backpack full of gear, and water, and goo.And then, in a twinkling, I heard through the trees,The crunching of snow by boots with great ease.As I drew in my head and was turning around,Down the trail St. Nicholas came with a bound.He was dressed all in Gortex, his suit was bright red,And a big floppy hat sat on top of his head.A compass in hand, and GPS on his back,He had all the right gear in his Santa Clause pack.His microspikes how they glistened, his headlamp how bright,And I thought to myself, “Am I seeing this right?”His boots were laced up tight with a bow,And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.The hose of his camelback he held tight in his teeth,And his scarf it encircled his heard like a wreath.He had a broad face and a little round bellyThat shook when he hiked, like a bowl full of jelly.He started along, that old elf was fastAnd I yelled from behind him, “Hey Santa you ever heard the 46 of 46 podcast?”He nodded his head as he trekked through the snowAnd I said to myself, “OK! Time to go!”He spoke not a word, but went straight up the trail,I tried to keep up but I was chasing his tail.And laying his finger aside of his nose,And giving a nod, to the summit he rose.He sprang up the rock face, to the top he did climb.So fast, and so quick, he left me behind.But I heard him exclaim, ere he hiked out of sight.“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

Scott Carney is a bestselling author, anthropologist and investigative journalist whose works blend narrative non-fiction with ethnography. Scott has worked in some of the most dangerous and unlikely corners of the world, spending extensive time in South Asia. He was a contributing editor at Wired for five years and his writing also appears in Mother Jones, Men’s Journal, Playboy, Foreign Policy, Discover, Outside and Fast Company. I find his journalistic work to be a cross between George Plimpton and Tim Ferriss – in that he is quite the participant in the journalistic work he does. His work has been the subject of a variety of radio and television programs, including NPR and National Geographic TV. In 2010, he won the Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism for his story “Meet the Parents,” which tracked an international kidnapping-to-adoption ring. He’s the author of four books including his recently published The Wedge which will be large part of our conversation in this episode. His other books include The Red Market, The Enlightenment Trap, and What Doesn’t Kill Us which was a New York Times bestseller. In this episode we discuss his award-winning book, The Red Market, based on his six years investigating the underground market for human bodies and body parts. I first came across his writing in What Doesn’t Kill Us. That book was about the semi-famous breathing guru, Wim Hof. As for context, I’ve summited Mt. Kilimanjaro and I had to put my water bottle inside my Gortex jacket to keep it from freezing, and Scott and Wim climbed it without a shirt on at negative thirty degrees. Scott explains how such “feats” are done. Wim endorsed Scott’s latest book, The Wedge, as "Crazy good writing" and I wholeheartedly agree. Ben Greenfield, who is also a NYTs bestselling author, said: “prepare to enter an intriguing world of self-improvement and physical and mental performance that you have never before discovered. Scott Carney, once again, has elegantly intertwined his ferocious style of immersive journalism with an entertaining educational approach that is sure to improve your life and longevity forever.” And both Dave “Bulletproof” Asprey and Amelia “Queen of Pain” Boone wrote Forewords. In The Wedge, Scott sets a framework of human evolution and migration, and introduces the concept of the power of choice as an equally significant evolutionary force vis-à-vis the limits of endurance. Key to this is what he calls “The Wedge,” in how humans can wedge control over automatic physiological responses into the breaking point between stress and biology. And off we go… Scott’s searched the globe for examples of what he calls “the subtle language of how the body responds to its environment.” We start with studying fear in a neuroscience laboratory at Stanford and then... Kettlebell partner passing, Sensory deprivation tanks (a la Altered States) Placebo paradox and mindful health experiments with breathing routines that border transcendence via Wim and DMT breathing, ayahuasca in a Peruvian Amazon jungle with a shaman, and “Kent & Lane” and MDMA augmented couples therapy We end with his recommendations on where someone could start if they were interested in their own personal exploration, to help us all live our lives in full.

Jonelle Toothman has done a lot. A former Division 1 soccer player, Journalism major, and Army brat, she also co-founded NextGen Biologics and became its CEO. The company uses salamander tissue as an architecture for regenerative medicine to help burn victims and help repair wounds. As far as other applications, Jonelle says “our imagination is our only limitation.” *This episode was originally released on September 25, 2018.* TRANSCRIPT: Intro: 0:01Inventors and their inventions. Welcome to Radio Cade, a podcast from the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville, Florida. The museum is named after James, Robert Cade who invented Gatorade in 1965. My name is Richard Miles. We’ll introduce you to inventors and the things that motivate them. We’ll learn about their personal stories, how their inventions work, and how their ideas get from the laboratory to the marketplace. Richard Miles: 0:39This morning we have our guest Jonelle Toothman, who is the co-founder and chief executive officer at NextGen Biologics. Welcome, Jonelle. Jonelle Toothman: 0:47Thank you. Richard Miles: 0:48So before we talk about NextGen and what it is you do and invented, tell me a little bit about yourself. Where are you from? Where’d you grow up? What were you like, what did parents do, tell us everything that you want to tell us about. Jonelle Toothman: 1:00So I am a very high energy, high passion, extremely outgoing, and I grew up and was born in Germany. Richard Miles: 1:10Germany. Why, Germany? Jonelle Toothman: 1:13Why Germany, my Dad is retired Air Force, so we did a little bit of moving around as a child. Richard Miles: 1:18Uh, where in Germany? Jonelle Toothman: 1:21Zweibrücken. Richard Miles: 1:22Okay. There’s a big airbase there, right? Jonelle Toothman: 1:23There is. Richard Miles: 1:24Okay. And you’re there just as an infant or how many years were you in Germany? Jonelle Toothman: 1:30A young child. We left there when I was five. Richard Miles: 1:31Okay. Um, and so as you’re growing up what sort of inspired you to become a CEO? Did you ever even think about it or what were you like as a kid? Jonelle Toothman: 1:40I’m still trying to figure out how that title is where I’m at right now. As a kid, I really… all I cared about was being outdoors and playing sports. I, uh, was outside from dusk till dawn and all I wanted to do is play soccer. So, the passion really came later in life after my sister actually passed away of brain cancer. Richard Miles: 2:06Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Jonelle Toothman: 2:07So my sophomore year in college she had a devastating disease that only allowed her to live 18 months after finding out that she was diagnosed with brain cancer. And during that time in college, I kind of evaluated what I was doing with my life and where I was going and what the opportunities were. Richard Miles: 2:25What were you studying at the time, Jonelle? Jonelle Toothman: 2:27I was a journalism major. Richard Miles: 2:29Journalism, okay. Jonelle Toothman: 2:29So I thought I wanted to do sports broadcasting. That was kind of my thought and ambition at the time. Richard Miles: 2:34And you got a degree in journalism? Jonelle Toothman: 2:36Journalism and mass communications. Richard Miles: 2:38Okay. So did you go back and start studying biology or how did you wander into that field? I mean the example your sister, but obviously you didn’t have an educational background equip you for that field. Jonelle Toothman: 2:51Exactly, and I knew the educational aspect of going back and being a physician of some sorts was not my passion. School and academia was not the route that was going to make me a benefit to society when it came to medicine. So I had to figure out something different besides being a physician and that’s where the pharmaceutical side of the business and medical side of the business from a sales perspective became intriguing and interesting. I could still impact that medical field, but do it with the things that I was naturally good at versus the things that I would have to really pursue that might not be as passionate but have the same benefits. Richard Miles: 3:31Did you ever do anything with sports journalism at all Jonelle? Jonelle Toothman: 3:34I did a few broadcasting shows for Marshall University in West Virginia where I played division one soccer there. I did a few of the sports broadcasting for some other additional sports. Richard Miles: 3:45So let’s talk about NextGen Biologics. It says here that you’re developing a novel extracellular Matrix. What does that mean to the normal person? Jonelle Toothman: 3:57So an extracellular matrix also known as an ECM. It is basically utilized to repair soft tissue in the body. So if you think of a burn victim or somebody that’s had a surgical type of procedure, they often have soft tissue that needs to repair… a scar or a wound that won’t heal. That extracellular matrix is a surgical patch that you would put in a wound bed to promote healing and allow that soft tissue to grow back. Richard Miles: 4:33So these are living cells that you’re… Jonelle Toothman: 4:35So they’re not. They’re not technically living cells. So if you think about it from a standpoint of right now they use pig or they use cow and they take the d ermis, the skin of those particular species, and they use those as a patch to cover that wound so you can prevent infections and the risk of losing those wounds are those limbs, but that’s basically a patch that allows new soft tissue to grow and repair. Richard Miles: 5:04So the product that NextGen is developing, it’s a patch, but it’s from human material? Jonelle Toothman: 5:09So it’s actually from one of the most amazing species we’ve ever seen in science. If you think about a salamander that is fascinating, if you crush its spine, it regrows. If you take off a limb, it regrows part of its organs regrow. It is the only species that we know of or that I personally know of that can regenerate its entire organ system as well as skeletal system. And so we’re starting with the best material that we’ve seen in science versus our own human dermis that we don’t regenerate. So these… Richard Miles: 5:45So these are actually salamander cells? Jonelle Toothman: 5:47They’re not cells. So it is, it is… Richard Miles: 5:51You have to work with me Jonelle. I’m slow. Jonelle Toothman: 5:55It is the tissue from Salamander, that is what promotes that healing aspect. Richard Miles: 5:59Are geckos salamanders or not really? Jonelle Toothman: 6:02Not really. Richard Miles: 6:02Okay. So you can’t co-brand with Geico for marketing purposes. Jonelle Toothman: 6:04Unfortunately, and fortunately, we won’t be selling cars, but hopefully repairing some wounds. Richard Miles: 6:10Alright, so wound repair. I mean, I’m thinking there are a lot of applications here, but why don’t you break it down for me, what are the applications that you think are the most likely for this technology? Jonelle Toothman: 6:20So this is what’s exciting and fascinating about that technology. Our only limitations are our imaginations and the scientific imagination of where this application could be indicated for. So we can utilize and we’re starting to utilize and going through the process to get approved to utilize this surgical patch for wound regeneration. So if you think about a diabetic foot ulcer or a really bad, a surgical procedure that has been infected because the patient had some sort of disease or are they smoked or they are hypertensive and they just don’t heal as well as a young person might. This patch would help them to cover that wound to decrease the infection that can get to that wound. And then eventually start to tell the body to repair that tissue in a way that allows new tissue to form. Richard Miles: 7:17So for those people now, what sort of treatment do they get, if any? Jonelle Toothman: 7:21So right now, if you think of a wound or a burn victim right now, they’re getting either donated human cadaver skin, they’re getting the cow, the pig, they’re getting some synthetic, like Gortex type of material. But basically they’re getting some sort of cloth, if you think about it or Bandaid, if you think about it, they’re getting something to put on that wound that allows it to not get infected and for new tissue to start growing. Richard Miles: 7:49And is the problem with these other solutions that they don’t grow or they’re not as effective? Or is that not an adequate solution? Jonelle Toothman: 7:56So they’re all adequate solutions. That’s the good thing. Uh, patients and physicians have choices for what’s needed. They’re all great products. The difference that we’re trying to capture is we’re starting with a material that naturally has regenerative capabilities. So if you think about using human skin that’s been donated from a cadaver, humans no longer have the ability to regenerate. We lose that ability after the second trimester. So when you put on that new skin, what happens is your body accepts it and it eventually creates new skin, but you’ll see really bad scars. You’ll see divots within our creators kind of where that skin doesn’t heal upwards. It kind of heals in the crevice of where that wound bed was. The material that we’re starting with is naturally regenerative. It naturally has the proteins, the nutrients, the cytokines, the healing aspect that we’re looking for. So what we’re hoping that this product, when you implanted in a human or you put it on that surgical site, that we turn on the light switch back to what our body naturally knew how to do when it was in the wound bed and that is heal. So we’re hoping that it turns on this light switch and creates that healing form to create less fibrosis, less scar, and allow your body to adapt that and then regrow new tissue that’s almost childlike versus the fibers and the scar that we’re used to. Richard Miles: 9:27Wow. That is exciting. Um, you talked about an approval process. You’re talking about the FDA approval process, right? Where are you in bed? Are you, did you just file or are you about to get your approval? Tells us about that. Jonelle Toothman: 9:38So it’s actually an FDA clearance and it’s for a specific indication, which we’re not claiming that we heal wounds faster. We’re not claiming that we can heal wounds better. What we’re trying to show the FDA currently is that we are equal to what’s out there right now in not wound healing but in surgical wound repair. Richard Miles: 10:00So in theory this is easier, right? Because the FDA in essence has already approved the core technology. Now you’re asking them to approve another version of that core technology? Jonelle Toothman: 10:09So we’re asking them to approve another animal species form since we’re already using animals species out there. And so where we are with that clearance right now is the FDA has reviewed a lot of our information. We had to prove that we’re safe, as safe as those other products out there, and we’ve done all of those initial studies, we’ve passed those initial studies. The FDA last summer has asked us to complete a few additional human clinical studies because this particular animal or species has never been used in a human before. So they’ve asked us for a couple of those. We are in the process of finishing those currently. Our last human trial will end in April. We will resubmit back that data to the FDA that they’ve asked for additional safety and efficacy and we hope to be on the market by Q four of this year. Richard Miles: 11:02Wow, that’s great. Jonelle, tell me a little bit about NextGen Biologics. You’re the co-founder and CEO. I’m assuming you licensed this technology from somewhere. Was it University of Florida technology? Jonelle Toothman: 11:14It was not a University of Florida technology, but it is licensed. Uh, there is a brilliant woman, her name is Ryan Early and she filed this patent back in 2014 and NextGen kinda came about because Jamie Grooms, my co-founder, and partner had worked with this woman in the past and I met Jamie who is a serial entrepreneur, has been extremely successful in regenerative medicine in this space and also taking companies public. He and I met in 2013 and just had the passion for regeneration and, and what we can do in the future and bringing a new technology to a market that’s growing and could give added benefits to wounded warriors or children that are cleft palates or anything like that that you could really fix in a surgical setting. And we kind of came together and licensed this technology from Ryan early and started the company back in 2013. Richard Miles: 12:14We had another guest on the show, Ron Hayes, who compared being an entrepreneur to start up a. He was a fighter pilot, Ron and he said it was like being a five product and then you have long periods of boredom punctuated by extreme terror. So tell us about being in a startup, being the CEO of a startup, if you’d like to share what was your best day or one of your better days and if you’d care to share one of your worst days, your worst day with us. Jonelle Toothman: 12:39So that’s an interesting analogy. When it comes to fighter pilots, I don’t fly. So it’s definitely understood though. Being an entrepreneur, it’s the hardest I’ve ever worked. The least amount of money and the most stressful I’ve ever been. It is. But it’s also the best job I’ve ever had. I’ve been doing this since 2013. Really came on full board in 2016, a 100%. And I love it. I wake up every day excited when you wake up every day excited and you have a big win in the middle of the afternoon to soon find out you take three steps back at 2:00 in the afternoon. It’s a little more difficult, but the good days are extremely high and the bad days are extremely low. But I’d rather have the huge highs and the lows knowing that we’re going to accomplish something great. Richard Miles: 13:28Do you know if you had a young person come to you, let’s say they had just graduated with a degree and decided they were going to do something else and they wanted to do a startup company. What words of wisdom would you give to that person, tell them to flee or what to? Jonelle Toothman: 13:42I think the initial thing would say to flee, but absolutely not. The biggest piece of advice is find something that you genuinely are passionate about. Find something that you can wake up every day when money’s tight, when you’re extremely tired, when you don’t want to go to work, wake up with something that you are passionate about. Really enjoy what you do, but also be willing to take that risk. There is nothing more rewarding than shaking hands with Ron Hays right now and him saying that they just got FDA approval. It genuinely gives me complete chills because that success is something that I’ve never experienced yet before and it is something that you know that a team surrounded you and your vision and your philosophy and that as a team, you moved a needle and got to a point to bring something to the market that can save lives. So I would say as a young entrepreneur, you’re young, you’re vibrant, you’re ready to take on a new challenge. Try, failure’s not that bad. At the end of the day, we all fail something I feel every day, but when, where you can celebrate those successes and try again, learn from it. Richard Miles: 14:52Jonelle That’s great advice and we look forward to having you back on the show after you’ve rung the bell at the New York Stock Exchange, after your highly successful IPO and we’ll have you back. Thank you very much for joining Radio Cade. Jonelle Toothman: 15:05Thank you for having me. Outro: 15:12Radio Cade would like to thank the following people for their help and support.

His illustrious career was halted by an event which opened the door for the mass media's death circus to play and he was forced to endure some of the most harrowing, frustrating and at times desperate experiences at the hands of the newspaper press. In this epic, hour-long interview, Mr Barrymore directly addresses the media, discussing the forthcoming public apologies from the News Of The World, how he dealt with the worst times in his life, his new TV role as a gangster, his successful clothing company Made By Dave and so much more in a genuinely comfortable chat with one of the UK's most genuine men. An honour. Ghost Hunters is one of the biggest shows on the SyFy Channel. Its fan base is in the millions so it was our pleasure to talk with one of the men that has brought so much infotainment to our screens. KJ McCormick steps in live from the freeways of LA, to discuss the re-shaping of Ghost Hunters, the most extreme cases he has dealt with, their competition form shows like Ghost Adventures, his personal experiences and his opinions on a verity of paranormal research devices. Perfect for Halloween! David Oman is a movie director and his recent film The House At Th End Of The Drive, executively produced by the producer of Amityville Horror, tells a terrifyingly true story of his personal experiences at the home where the Manson Murders took place. In this tell-all interview, Mr Oman details the extent of the horror at his home and explains the many ways in which he feels the spirits of Sharon Tate and those related to the case are as active today as they were when they were alive. David Oman also highlights how his home has been described as portal for paranormal activity by respected researchers, with extremely high levels of EMF apparent throughout the home.  Tech N9ne is one of the most prolific and successful artists in modern music. He joins us on this show to discuss his forthcoming Rock EP Therapy, the difficulties he faced in working with Ross Robinson and a live band, Limp Bizkit’s spontaneous contribution, the significance and meaning behind tracks ‘Public School’ and ‘Stop The Sailor’, the now infamous K.A.B.O.S.H. project and more. He also addresses his upcoming album ‘Special Effects’ and reveals that TDE’s Jay Rock is still signed to Strange Music and currently at work on his second release. Necro and Kool G Rap swoop by for the second time to discuss their forthcoming album as a duo, with Necro explaining how challenging this album was for all the right reasons. We talk touring, promotion, online fans, Mafioso rap and much more. Boldy James has just released a superb album in My 1st Chemistry Set, produced by (Alan) The Chemist In his second appearance on the show, we talk studio time at Alchemist’s Rap Camp, the creativity he finds in working unified and sharing a singular vision with one producer, plans of releasing more material with Alchemist, writing the slang driven ‘Mooochie’, the online media's response to him and more! The artist formerly known as Gortex, Gore Elohim is back on the show to explore his long awaited new full length album, Electric Lucifer. We discuss keeping it raw, artwork, working with such people as Beat Butcha and Tragedy Khadafi, as well as another project of which he reveals he has started and is coming sooner than later. We even spend a considerable amount of time discussing conspiracy theories and industry politics. Electric stuff! Hot off the heels of his latest mixtape Cheeze-N-Dope 2, the former Hypnotize Minds artist that is Project Pat slinks in to discuss his forthcoming project Mista Don’t Play 2, life on Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang Records, new slang, the regrouping of Three Six Mafia and more in a brief but exact interview. Check it out Chicken head! DJ Skizz drops in to explore the creation behind his new album, B.Q.E. (Brooklyn-Queens Experience) and more, including why unlike Ill Bill’s version of ‘Violence’ does not feature Shabazz The Disciple, upcoming projects with Frank Dukes and Missin’ Linx MC Problemz, his hopes to work with Ghostface Killah, working on The Halftime Radio Show, competition form Hot97, plans of coming to the UK and more! Philip Kinsella is a world-known psychic medium and UFO researcher. He is with us on this show to discuss government cover-ups, his own experiences of alien abduction, how he labels himself and he even finds time to conduct a LIVE psychic reading where an American man who has passed due to drink-related problems comes through to talk with the Conspiracy Team. AND THAT'S NOT ALL! Mista Montana and Menace are on location at one of the UK's most notoriously haunted castles and what transpires after their internet connection was cut and the doors firmly locked, is almost too distressing to articulate into words. Listen to the very end....if you dare. ENJOY OUR PLASM!

Unlimited - Soul Position 6. Hated - Goretex 7. Mount Pleasant - Dragon Fli Empire ft. Belo & Shortop 8. Toilet Duck - Max Prime (produced by Nato)
