This week the Bloody Good Film Podcast answers a different  question... War, what is this movie good for?  Absolutely nothing.  We talk about this 2007 film that stars two of the best action stars and martial artists, Jason Statham and Jet Li and try to find out exactly what went wrong. We discuss how pitting Jet Li and Jason Statham against each other somehow still wasn't enough to make a good movie. We rack our brains trying to understand why this movie was choreographed like our action stars were senior citizens. We try to find ways to make the plot of this movie somewhat coherent, and (spoiler alert) we reveal the big twist that we are sure no one saw coming! Luckily we find other more interesting things to talk about to spare your ears from unnecessary talk about a wasted opportunity. Most importantly we give you the answer to our weekly question...Is War a bloody good film?We encourage everyone to watch along while you listen and make sure to comment and let us know what you think. If you haven't already please follow us on Facebook and Instagram @bloodygoodfilmpodcast and remember...Keep it bloody buddies!!!...#BloodyGoodFilm #BloodyGoodFilmPodcast #Podcast #FilmPodcast #MoviePodcast #Film #Movie #Movies #Action #Horror #ActionFilm #ActionMovie #ActionMovies #HorrorFilm #HorrorFilms #HorrorMovie #HorrorMovies #ActionPodcast #HorrorPodcast #MartialArts #JetLi #JasonStatham #War #2007 #TheSuicideSquad #TheExpendables 

We discover VR porn, John's pornstar of the week, still no book report and the best fast food fries. Also, coworkers refuse who refuse doughnuts, let's not invite Ross to breakfast and dining by yourself. All that and more on this episode of The Born Stupid show.

Ha! I lied. Mommy aint fine kiddo, mommy is in some serious trouble. Mommy forgot she was a gangsta. She forgot she was born at the bottom of the pool. Mommy got out and forgot her little newborn was still floating around somewhere. Good thing babies know how to swim. I guess. The girl still died somewhere along the line. But not before she beat the fuck out of every fucker trying to steal her place in the street. Yeah, mommy is fucked. Mommy is wearing cotton spun by dying hands. She feels it, but she has no fucking idea what the feeling is. Feels like something that needs to be cured. Don’t feel like nothing a little sleeping pill wont fix. Hey honey, why do you think you cant sleep? Huh? Yeah girl, you aint sleepy! Your body just so happens to remember who lies awake in the night. Too bad, huh? Your body remembers the scum of the earth. Such a drag, eh? Wouldn’t you rather remember me? Wouldn’t you like to forget this crap you’re hanging on to for dear life? What if my thick babygirl thighs were the only things you owned? My babyboy ass squeezes tight when he remembers getting fucked by you. But hey, you never know. Its fucking amazing, the power of presence, showing your face could change every little thing. Showing up in the spaces where fear is thick and death is rich, that might just make the only difference worth making. But who am I mommy? You got your prioritize, of course. You can’t get rid of your shit. You’ve got a plastic mop with 37 pieces. First put the plastic thing on the plastic spinning shit. Then take the other plastic thing out of the plastic, take off the first layer of plastic, but only the first, then slap that shit on the bottom. If it doesn’t stick, spit on the other plastic shit in the bag, and glue it together. Then watch it all sink to the bottom of the ocean. But whatever you do baby, don’t let nobody steal your stupid shit.  I’m cranky as fuck. I’m staring at the wine. I don’t want anything. Fuck. How the fuck can I be this powerful and still not able to fix this shit? I call bullshit. I catch sight of her. White helmet. She stops at the end of the isle, starts playing on her phone. Looking for something, cutie? Ha! No I cant say that shit. She aint lost. I aint as smooth as I think I am. My golden ticket is this cute shit I do where I get all nervous and goofy, then I smile and then your fucked. Really. You’ll do whatever the fuck I want, just like that. I cant save shit? Hmm… something aint adding up kid, feels like you’ve been lying out your ass this whole damn time. Fuck your truth, it ant mine. I keep staring. I want to look away ‘cause I feel socially inappropriate. But simultaneously I couldn’t give a shit about my social surroundings. I let all these contradictions swim inside of me. I pick to act on the ones that feel the most childlike. Then I suit up in a face that fits in and play real cute for these fools to get what I want. I know exactly what I’m doing. Too damn bad if you trust what you don’t know. Too bad if you believe a single thing that I say. Its fiction baby, don’t be so temperamental. You got feelings? Prove it! Show me! She moves, quick jerky movements, to the breadbox. She starts shifting through all the baguettes frantically, lifting tossing staring sighing. She chooses none. She wants nothing. I want her. I move closer. I start staring at shit that I don’t want through flour stained glass. She stops. She moves the extra inch that puts her in my reach. She reaches. Her hand finds my fingertips.   ‘Do I know you?’ she whispers into the back of my left ear. She lets go and runs before I breathe out, let alone say a single word. When I get outside, her bike is leaning against mine. She walks to other side of the green metal ring, leans over and says nothing. ‘Our bikes really have to stop meeting up like this. Seems they are dead set on being buddies.’ She giggles. ‘But if it’s meant to be, what’re we supposed to do while their leaning against each other?’ ‘We could shoot? You play? We could do nothing. Want nothing. See nothing but ourselves through each other.’  She unlocks her chain and jumps on her wheels, ‘Sounds boring boy. How ‘bout you chase me instead?’  I can’t get my shit unlocked in time. I lose sight. I start running again. My spine is healing and the strength I’m building around it is godlike. I can swim to bottom of a fence in the ocean and dig for the end, rip it right out of my precious sand. All in one breath, I can make every line of separation disappear. Poof!  Get back here girl. I need your hips to help me dance all over the brand new world I’m building. I need you to rule. I have no desire outside of you. I’m running down the cold stairs of an underground metro. I pass her mid-landing. I freeze. I spin around. She sees me. She keeps climbing. She stops, looks back. Turns to walk away again but doesn’t move. She stays still, she remembers. She finds my eyes again and doesn’t look away. She starts towards me. I can’t move. She steps right up to my boyish grin and pushes her noes close to mine, ‘do I know you?’             ‘I cant remember. But yes, I think you must. Are we dreaming?’             When I wake up I’m locking my bike to another metal ring, outside the library. She passes me again. I remember. I run up behind her and tap her shoulder. ‘Tag! You’re it.’              I laugh louder than I’ve ever laughed in my goddamn life and run away.             It’s your turn babygirl. I’ve got an entire world to save. Don’t waste my precious time. Hunt me down like the dog that I am and make me mine. I’ve been singing your soul. Reach deep inside me while I’m bleeding, I’ll let you taste freedom, I’ll let you feel home.             Seriously. All jokes aside, I’m gonna stop cussing for five seconds. Then I’ll probably start up again. I’m the blue baseball cap. I think you’re so cute, it’s the way you move girl. It’s always been the way your precious soul moves your flesh and bones. Come for me! I really want to know you. Hey Mami. Look at me! Aren’t you just the tiniest bit curious who you are?  Five.  Four.  Three. Two.  One. Fuck you.  Own me! I’m yours.

Thank you so much for coming on the podcast and really looking forward to this today. Howard Luks:                00:06                My pleasure, Karen. I'm looking forward to it too. Karen Litzy:                   00:09                Okay. So today we're going to be talking about osteoarthritis. You had a great tweet thread back in, I believe it was the end of June, beginning of July, 2019 on osteoarthritis and got a lot of positive responses from people and I really wanted to talk to you a little bit more about osteoarthritis. First thing is what it is and what it isn't. So I will hand it over to you. Howard Luks:                00:40                So the reason why I decided to put that thread up was based on the fact that I keep hearing people become worried thinking that their body is wearing out and that our arthritis is a mechanical process and wear and tear process. So they're going to stop walking. They're gonna stop riding, they're gonna stop running, they're gonna stop their exercise. So in other words, they're going to increase their risk of dementia, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders because they think they're saving the lifespan of their knee. So in order to get across that osteoarthritis is really a biological process where the articular cartilage is starting to degenerate for various reasons and that their activity actually, if anything is beneficial is what led me to write that whole series of tweets. And I followed up with another one a few months later. That then started to throw in all the exercise patterns and activities that people can in fact pursue, especially with respect to runners. See, since I seem to attract a lot of runners, I wanted to be known that running is not damaging for a knee that doesn't have any significant mechanical issue or is recovering from a fracture. Karen Litzy:                   02:22                And when we talk about osteoarthritis, oftentimes people will come to us as physical therapists and they'll say, Oh, well, you know, it's bone on bone. That's what the x-ray shows bone on bone. So how do you respond to that? And how should a physical therapist respond to the patient in those scenarios? And in a way that doesn't undermine the physician that referred them to us, but being consistent with the evidence. Howard Luks:                02:51                It's quite a challenge, right? I mean, yeah. The interesting thing I always talk to our residents about is that, you know, I'm 56 now and I'm just starting to get really good at patient interactions and discussions and conversations in the office just in time for me to retire. And I talk about the fact that words harm, images, harm, and you really can't unsee your MRI or xray report. So it all comes back to communication and education. And that's one of the biggest problems in healthcare today, right? We're RVU driven. You guys are strapped if you're a network, you know, you can't make a living of $40 per hour. And so we're all seeing more people in less time and that really threatens our ability to have a good, actionable and meaningful conversation with people. Yet it's absolutely critical that we do so. Howard Luks:                04:02                So if I put an X Ray up showing bone on bone arthritis, I then immediately enter into a conversation about how you really treat people, not an image. And that even though they're bone on bone, you know, most likely I'm talking to someone who doesn't have severe quality of life limiting knee pain more often than not, and you know, a bone on bone knee that's relatively dry, meaning it doesn't have a significant effusion, it's really not going to be too terribly painful. You know, the bone itself isn't what hurts, you know, bone marrow edema hurts, synovitis, hurts. But not the bone itself. So I explained that I've run with people that I know have bone on bone arthrosis yet. I explained that I've also replaced knees in those with less severe arthritis because they had severe synovitis or bone marrow lesions that just wouldn't go away. Howard Luks:                05:16                So it's important to talk about the fact that the xray has only one small part of the overall evaluation and a very small part in determining what the treatment or treatments could be or should be. And that it really it's their story. It's their history, it's what they're telling us. And you know, when it hurts, how often it hurts and how severe that pain is. That's more important in terms of how we craft our treatment plan. And when, you know, I had a patient today actually asked me, well, when, when do you know, as the patient, when do you know that you need to have a joint replacement surgery and we'll stick with the knee. Karen Litzy:                   05:58                So when your patients come in and they asked you that question or you talk to them about the possibility of a total knee replacement or a partial knee replacement, what do you say and how does the patient know? Howard Luks:                06:23                Huh, that's a great question. And it's one that I'll get probably 15 times tomorrow so the discussion usually goes as follows. It's, you will know you're going to wake up one day and say, I just can't take this anymore. I've tried X, Y, and Z. I've done my exercises, I've lost weight, I have adjusted my diet. I've tried over the counter medications, Savage's bombs, ointments, suction cups, tape and everything else that their friends have told them to try and their pain is limiting their quality of life. So that's, you know, a very important part of the decision making process is you have to dive into their goals, right? You can run into a lot of trouble with people between 40 and 65, 40 and even 70, depending on how active they were, because you might have someone who's miserable, but it's simply because they can't play singles tennis anymore. Howard Luks:                07:37                Right? It's like having someone with shoulder pain in your office because they can't hit a second lob as like they used to. You know, that person who's going to be really unhappy with the results of surgery. Same with the knee replacement in someone who can't play a second set of tennis but could easily finish, you know, a three set doubles match. So we have to determine when the patient feels that their quality of life has suffered long enough that they wish to move forward. Then we need to dive into what their goals are. It should be simply that they want to get through their day without this horrible knee pain. Because if it's anything other than that they may not be all that satisfied with the end results of the surgery. Karen Litzy:                   08:33                Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. There's a big difference between the person who's having trouble walking from, you know, their bedroom to the bathroom or like you said, the person who can't get in another set of singles tennis. They're very, very huge quality of life differences there. Although that second set of tennis might be disappointing. It's different than not being able to walk a block. Howard Luks:                08:57                Correct. And we know, you know, both of us know there are significant number of knee replacement patients who have persistent pain after surgery and who are not happy with the overall results. And many times that might trace back to false expectations. So it's a really important discussion to have. And we also know there are many different patients out there. You know, there are some who have achiness and pain when they roll out of bed, but by the time they're done with their morning shower, they feel fine. Yet those people, some of those people might tell you that they want to have their knee replaced. So again, it's really important to dive deep into the reason why these people want to move forward and what their goals are. Karen Litzy:                   09:54                Yeah, I think that's a great point. Thank you for that. And now I just want to go back to one thing. When we were talking about osteoarthritis, one thing we didn't talk about were factors that may lead people to be at risk for osteoarthritis. Do we know what some of those factors are? And if so, are they modifiable? Howard Luks:                10:14                Sure. So first, you know, the, the big category now that requires everyone's attention is our metabolism. You know, we are bombarded daily now, especially on Twitter with all the ELA facts associated with a typical or standard American diet full of ultra processed foods. I'm not gonna get close to the Quito vegan world and subdivided. However, it's really important that people start to read this literature about the dangers of ultra processed foods. It's very clear that a calorie is not a calorie and that a hundred calories of ultra processed foods versus a hundred calories of real food is going to have very different metabolic affects on us. And we're finding that people with high homocysteine levels have a higher incidence of heart disease, cardio metabolic issues as well as joint related issues. We're finding the same with uric acid levels, which will my car lay with your fructose intake. Howard Luks:                11:38                So high fructose corn syrup, we find a correlation with lipid disorders and the prevalence of osteoarthritis people's weight will certainly have an impact. A lot of people don't know that what each step you take, you're putting, you know, five to seven times your body weight across the knee with each step. If you're achieving 10,000 steps a day, you weigh 250 pounds, you have an extra 60 pounds on your knee across 10,000 steps. That's a lot of an added weight across that knee. Now for those who do not have osteoarthritis already, that might not initiate the process for those in whom the process has started. An MRI studies on asymptomatic people show that the process has started in a majority of us over 50, then that excess weight and force or stress burden is certainly going to increase the risk of developing a more rapidly progressive arthrosis. Howard Luks:                12:50                Now by far the most common causes are genetics and people with structural issues. So a varus or Bodine or valgus or knock kneed that will set you up for unit compartmental changes or changes in either the middle or the lateral compartments. Why we seem to see a pretty severe patellofemoral disease and in some middle aged women, I'm not exactly sure, perhaps it's some degree of underlying map tracking. But in terms of the modifiable risk factors, without a doubt, our weight, our activity level, it turns out as we, as we just said, that's right. This is less common in runners. Cartilage likes that cyclical loading and likes to be exposed to force in a cyclical manner. I think we hit on many of them. Karen Litzy:                   13:54                Yeah. And then the only other thing I can think of is previous surgeries. So we know like ACL having an ACL surgery or ACL disruption, the majority of those people do develop osteoarthritis later in life. Especially if you're, you know, most of them happen when you're younger, usually. Howard Luks:                14:13                True. So you're absolutely correct. So upwards of 50% of people who have had an ACL tear will go on to develop arthritic changes. Even having just one Hema arthrosis, you know, blood in your joint elevates your risk of developing osteoarthritis because it changes the chemical compounds that's present in the knee. Once that has happened, now you'd go ahead and you add a mechanical issues such as a meniscus tear and your risks really start to go up dramatically. Karen Litzy:                   14:54                Yeah. And, I mean I have seen patients in their forties you know, who have had multiple ACL reconstructions on their knees cause they were high level athletes in their younger years. And those are people who, you know, we were talking about the people who can't play tennis versus the ones who are having trouble walking down the street. Those are the people that are having trouble walking down the street and they know it, but they're doing everything they can to not have the surgery as well. So it's, it's an interesting group. Howard Luks:                15:25                Correct. And they're not harming themselves. I don't care if you're limping if you can get away without having your knee replaced, you should do so. Karen Litzy:                   15:37                Absolutely. Absolutely. Certainly, certainly I think, you know, oftentimes people will hear, Oh, it's knee replacements are not that bad. It's not like it was years ago, but I mean, it's not great. Howard Luks:                15:49                Huh? Yeah. So there's, you know, the only surgery without risk is a surgery on somebody else. Yeah. If you're assuming an infection after a knee replacement has a low incidence, right. A 0.7 0.8%, but it's a life altering permanent problem. You know, you're going to need one to three operations to try and eradicate that infection. And if it's a nasty bug, it's going to end in an amputation. So, you know, are there a lot of amputations that happen each year because of knee replacement infection? No, but there are not zero. And there are a significant number of people who have persistent pain. I've looked, I perform a lot of knee replacements and I think it's a great operation for the right person. So there are significant upsides to a well functioning knee replacement and the vast majority of people are not going to get infected. However, when you start to push indications and you start to stretch them if you get into trouble with one of those people, that's an awful place for them to be. Karen Litzy:                   17:06                Yeah. Yeah. No question. No question. And now what I'd like to do is we've got a couple of questions from listeners that some of them are about you in particular and the way that you practice others. Again, continuing on the osteoarthritis subject. So one was from physical therapy and they're all from physical therapists. Gina Kim said, how do you set expectations for patients, especially for active busy ones, that conditions such as osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder can take months to resolve or can be something that you're managing, let's say. Because I would say osteoarthritis is something that you're managing. Howard Luks:                17:49                Correct. And sometimes the frozen shoulders too. So any of our patients with these longterm chronic conditions can get into trouble, especially when they're used to being high level weekend warrior as an athlete. The, you know, my goal is to keep that runner running. And most runners, if you sit down and say, look, we don't think that arthritis, we know that arthritis is most likely not caused by running. We really don't think that you know, running five miles at a reasonable pace is going to cause her arthritis to worsen more than it already has and more than the normal disease course will worse than that. So we think it's okay for you to keep running. 90% of real runners are going to take that and run with it, so to speak. They are not going to stop. And there's really no reason for them to stop, cut, stop. Howard Luks:                18:54                Cause a runner that stops running is not a whole person anymore. It's really embedded in our psyche. They're very unique people to deal with. So oftentimes we’re seeing a runner with a little swelling after a run, we're seeing them a little, a little achiness and pain the next day. Perhaps they can't run as fast as they used to or they have pain going down Hill. So they will very readily work with you. So what I will immediately start doing is dive in to their typical week. How many miles are they running? What pace are they running, what zone are they running in? Are they Hills or are they technical trails and the carriage are they road? I don't necessarily push people onto trails or onto roads but I might pull them off a technical trail or off of steep Hills. And I'll try to work with them. Craft a workout pattern and running strategy with them that will lead to very much acceptable or tolerable levels of knee pain. And then once they understand that the etiology of a cause of their arthritis and they understand you really didn't do anything wrong, it's not the running that led them to this point, most are okay and most will fight through again, a reasonable level of discomfort in order to allow them to run. Karen Litzy:                   20:35                Yeah, and I think that's the last thing you said is so important because oftentimes when people have more persistent pain, and I can say this from my own experience is when, when we, I guess I can say we, I'm part of that group. Oftentimes when we do things and it results in pain, we think that we're causing more damage. And I think it's really important that last point that you made that, Hey, listen, you might have a little bit of pain, a little bit of swelling, but from what we can tell, we know this isn't doing further damage. It isn't sort of creating more wear and tear. And I think that's really important to get across to the patient. Howard Luks:                21:16                I agree. I mean, if I start to get stress fractures and stress reactions and book painful bone marrow edema, lesions, you know, I'm going to change. But as I alluded to earlier, you know, imagine a runner who stops running out of fear not because of the level of pain. You know, they're now increasing their risk of any number of chronic diseases, right? Alzheimer's and heart disease and hypertension, diabetes and on in the, you know, in the hope that maybe they're going to save their knee and save the knee from what? So if, you know, a lot of them, even if, even if we knew that running caused it, they would sacrifice their need to keep, you know, their head clear from the benefit that they derive from their weekly run. Karen Litzy:                   22:21                Yeah, they're a motivated bunch, that's for sure. And, and motivated because like you said, it's the running. So when you're a runner, it's your running that allows you to do the rest of the things in your life. That may be work. It may be dealing with family, it may be dealing with colleagues that keeps your head clear. It could be meditative. So you're taking all of that away by saying you just have to rest. You don't, you shouldn't run anymore. Howard Luks:                22:46                Correct. Karen Litzy:                   22:47                Dangerous. Okay. Dangerous stuff. So let's go onto another question, Miranda Henry, and I think this is a nice question is how do you see the evolution of the patient doctor physiotherapist role in the care of osteoarthritis? Cause we know we've got baby boomers getting older, osteoarthritis is most likely going to be more prevalent. So how do you see that evolution of care from those roles? Howard Luks:                23:15                Sadly, in this environment I see it dwindling, which is really unfortunate, right? Because it should be increasing. There should be a direct electronic or otherwise communication between our offices. You know, we both have these five page electronic medical record nightmares that our office produced that we fax to each other, you know, for signatures to send back. Yet it doesn't have much actionable, useful and meaningful information. I have a number of a number of therapists who are my go to people in my region. And you know, we're on the phone a lot. Trying to share details about certain people in terms of progress yeah. Or roadblocks or other issues and what and why they're sending them back or why they're not. And it's, you know, an open channel of communications is just so critical. And we just have to keep in mind regardless of how busy and crazy our lives get as healthcare providers, that it really is a patient's life and wellbeing that's sitting at the end of these phone calls and things that are easily perceived as nuisance irritation. And so yeah, it is worth it in the end to go the extra mile and make that phone call. Karen Litzy:                   24:51                Yeah. And I think you just answered that with that answer. The next question is what do you see as the best way for that PT doctor patient to align themselves for best patient outcomes? Which I think you just answered. Just having good communication channels and being able to keep in mind that the patient is at the center. Howard Luks:                25:13                Correct. Yeah. Can't forget that. Karen Litzy:                   25:15                No, that makes perfect sense. I think you just answered it. And then finally, this is from Mark Rubinstein said what or who inspired you in your holistic approach to promoting health? Combining traditional orthopedic medicine with sort of lifestyle medicine? Howard Luks:                25:32                Ha. Good one. As I alluded to, as I said before, you know, you start to get much better at determining talking to people, listening to people asking the right questions. You know, my exam starts when I watch them walking in the hallway, you know, before you sit down on your stool, you know more about that patient. Then half the words they're going to say are going to tell you and you learn how to craft your messages and craft your, you know, your treatment plans accordingly and you find out that non-surgical management is often really effective. Then you realize, okay, you're 56, you know, what are you doing to change your life? So, you know, probably about six years ago I started to optimize my own lifestyle for my, not only longevity but health span, right? I want to go to the very end, hopefully running and then just drop off. I don't want to spend my last 10 years on cane's going to doctor's offices, being hobbled, being frail, et cetera. So as I started, you know, a lot of the more recent blog posts that I've written, I've just done in an effort to help me learn the topics. Karen Litzy:                   27:12                That's a great way to, it's a great way to learn. Howard Luks:                27:14                Right? Because I'm pulling all these papers and I'm doing all this reading. I might as well write it down on my website and share it. And so it started with my diet and then it started with a sleep. I read Matthew Walker's book and then it started to, it was exercise and muscle mass and atrophy, sarcopenia and everything else written about. And then you start to dive into the metabolic literature and you realize, Hey, you know, this is really important for our patients. And that's another motivation to get it up and get it on the website. And as we all know, it's really hard to change many people's habits, but if they have actionable information, if they have a thorough understanding of why they need to do this I'm getting a lot further with people in terms of committing them to dietary change, lifestyle changes, activity changes than I ever had in terms of success before in my career. And I think maybe it's just cause I'm communicating it better and perhaps cause I'm leaving it up on my website for them afterwards to revisit and share it amongst their family. Karen Litzy:                   28:48                Yeah. And they can kind of take a deeper dive into it after they leave the office and say to themselves, Oh, okay, now I think this is making more sense. Cause like we've all been to doctors. I mean sometimes you go in and you're like, Oh man, I really wanted to ask this question and I didn't. Or Oh he said this thing but I forgot. And so to have that backup on your website I think is probably really helpful. And like you said, is most likely helping you get some greater buy in from your patients do I think is fantastic. And I think it's also important to note that when you're writing that you're, at least, this is what I get from your writing style, is it's very relatable and approachable and it's so, it's very, I think patient forward. Howard Luks:                29:33                You'd be amazed at the comments that I get from editors editors or publishers or writers through channels, how unhappy they are with my writing style. I'm like, just, you just have to leave it alone. It is what it is. Karen Litzy:                   29:50                Yeah. And if it's relating, if it's relatable to your patient population, great. Correct. Great. All right. So before we wrap up, what are the big takeaways you want people to leave with this discussion today? Howard Luks:                30:06                So yeah, in an effort to save your knee, don't throw the rest of your health under the bus. You're not gonna save your knee. You can't stop arthritis from progressing. You can't cure it. You're not gonna waste your money on $10,000 in STEM cells cause that isn't going to work. You will know the day that you need your knee replaced. And hopefully your surgeon or therapist will help you better define what your goals can and should be following a knee replacement. Don't forget how important our entire lifestyle is in shaping how much pain we are going to have, how long we're going to have that pain and how long we're going to suffer with it. Our sleep matters. Our diet matters, what we stick in our mouth matters and our activity levels matter. If you don't optimize for your wellness today, you're gonna end up preparing for your illness and frailty later. So there's no better time to get moving. Karen Litzy:                   31:18                Great advice. And now last question I ask everyone is knowing where you are now in your life and in your career, what advice would you give yourself as a newly minted doctor? A new graduate from medical school. Howard Luks:                31:34                Yeah. you're not as good as you think you are. Right? You know, all these young docs on Twitter, I get a kick out of them, you know, they're great, but, and I wasn't any different. You know, the world is far more black and white when you're younger then as you get older but yeah, pay more attention to your elders. Pay more attention to your patients. You don't always have the right answer, you know, and just be willing to admit sometimes you don't know. And then look for the person with the knowledge and experience who can help you. Karen Litzy:                   32:22                Great advice. Now, where can people find you if they want to read your blogs and find you on social media? Very important. Howard Luks:                32:28                Just put my name on Google. I think I own the first 10 pages. Karen Litzy:                   32:33                Perfect. And we'll also have links under this episode at podcast.healthywealthysmart.com So if you want to get all of Dr. Luks’ info, it'll be right on the website here as well. Awesome.

We're talking about the best war movies ever made. No... there will be no war horses in this episode. But there will be some Spielberg! 

Have you ever read a quote from an A/V vendor and said, “Huh?” Yeah, we get it. Not many of us like to deal with A/V but it’s a necessary part of many meetings and events. In this episode, Amanda and Darryl break down the world of audiovisual equipment and give you some practical tips for how to better understand your bill and get that final number more in line with your budget. Session Take-Aways: Think about what you want to accomplish at your event. What A/V do you need?  What don’t you really need? Always consult with an expert when planning your A/V. Establish a relationship with an outside A/V vendor. They can help even if you don’t use their services. Think about how can you do more with less. Think about lighting and audience size instead of just the latest and greatest technology. Always push back when you get a quote. Make sure you know what you’re paying for/try to negotiate A/V bill at the same time as the hotel contract.

In comics,The Ultimate Nullifier is a tiny, complex, even mysterious device that, when used as a weapon, more or less erases its user, their target, and the planet they both occupy. Today, I received the picture-postcard you sent me, the one with "Thinking of you!" scrawled on the back, as if to teach me that in real life, destroying two people and a reality requires only simple - even conventional - measures. This week, the Miracles in Manhattan Podcast talks about Lesson 10 of A Course in Miracles...and other matters. Things get funny. Talking points include: A pretty-good AI, or: WE HAVE TRANSCRIPTS!!!  2019 resolution: podcast from the astral plane Experience = perception - thoughts.

ACIM. Miracles in Manhattan. Marco Maisto and Rev. Stephanie Wild. Produced by Wild Stories and Rogue Signal Studios, NYC. Marco: [00:00:06] Summer has broken its chokehold. Sometimes highs are in the 70s. It's back to school season. [00:00:17] It's lovely day to be in New York City. [00:00:23] Welcome to Miracles in Manhattan. [00:00:31] My thoughts do not mean anything. It's going to be a lot easier to podcast on the astral plane because I have to say when we get there. Yeah. Because all we have to do is think stuff. Yes. And then everyone knows it. Marco: [00:00:51] Hi and welcome back to Miracles in Manhattan. The show where two spiritual delinquents lead you through a course in miracles trying to wake up in the city that never sleeps. I'm Marco here with my good friend, the Reverend Stephanie Wild. How are you and the upgrade? Stephanie: [00:01:09] I am absolutely great today. Thank you. Beautiful weather. I will. Stephanie: [00:01:15] I did a lot of walking through the city. It's just been so nice. The leaves are changing. Gorgeous. [00:01:25] Get to watch me plug in plugs for two hour hour and. It might have been my story. Let's let's split the difference at three. Stephanie: [00:01:33] Sure. Cool. But you know what? It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter because all is good. I just looked around the room and. Stephanie: [00:01:43] Realize that there's a market don't mean anything. Yes. Oh, OK. That's part of the gig. People know what they're in for. It's so funny. You notice those things. I just don't ever notice them. Marco: [00:01:56] I loved it. I noticed them on behalf of the listener. Stephanie: [00:01:59] Yeah, well, that's part of your job. I guess a part of my job is not denied. So, yes, I have a trick like when I'm meditating and something like that happens. [00:02:13] I've trained my subconscious mind to use that as a signal to go deeper into meditation. [00:02:18] It's interesting when I'm in a meditative state, that sort of thing doesn't bother me the way it does no better. But I haven't done what you just said. That's interesting. Mm hmm. Yeah, it's going to be a lot easier to podcast on the astral plane is all I have to say when we get there. Stephanie: [00:02:35] Yeah. Because all we have to do is think stuff. Stephanie: [00:02:39] Yes. And then everyone knows it. Marco: [00:02:43] Exactly. Throw away your iPhone. Cool. All right. So we're gonna want to take a shot, I believe. Let's turn. Stephanie: [00:02:52] Yeah. Let's try this in ten. So. So listen, ten is. My thoughts do not mean anything. So if you if you remember a little while ago we did. Lesson 4 and lesson 4 was these thoughts do not mean anything. So now we're taking it a little further and linking the idea to ourselves our own thoughts. And if you remember also lesson eight, because we're slowly building right step by step. So if you meant the lesson eight, it says, my mind is preoccupied with past thoughts and we've learned that. Our thoughts are all about the past. Marco: [00:03:48] So if our thoughts are all about the past, then they can't be true because right now we're in this present moment. Stephanie: [00:04:01] And we're just reinforcing that, we're just reinforcing that, except we're applying it to our own thoughts and less than 10. Again, my thoughts did not mean anything. Marco: [00:04:16] Let me ask you a clarifying question. What you just said is that to say that that a preoccupation with think with thoughts written in the past is in itself meaningless. Stephanie: [00:04:29] Or counterproductive. Stephanie: [00:04:34] Preoccupation. Yes. Right. Okay. Yes. OK. So it says here in lesson 10. That we are emphasizing that the presence of thoughts means that we are not, in fact thinking this is merely another way of repeating our earlier statement that our mind is really a blank. So that's true mind. It's a blank, right? Stephanie: [00:05:10] Which means we if it's a blank when it's blank. We are experiencing the present moment and that is reality. But when we're thinking we're living in the past and that is not reality. Stephanie: [00:05:27] That's all it is. OK. That's all it is. Marco: [00:05:32] That seems to put a lot a heavy burden on perception and doesn't it? If the. Stephanie: [00:05:38] That's right. We're dismantling perceptions. Perception is not reality. Right. True perception. Stephanie: [00:05:47] I mean, yeah, he's is, but thought it's not a true perception, right? Yeah. Marco: [00:05:56] Somebody who is a in the art world kind of told me something maybe relative relevant to that. If you look at kind of mid to later Picasso portraits, you'll notice that as soon as he gets away from kind of a realistic style. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. The first thing that happens is that the eyes go sideways. That's the no. They're on the same plane. Stephanie: [00:06:22] Like to me, The Philistine: "Yeah. The eyes go sideways, dude!" Yeah. They look weird, right? Yeah. Marco: [00:06:29] I guess according to this person that was sort of his engagement with with with truly perceiving without thinking about the subject Lou. Stephanie: [00:06:40] Oh OK. Yeah. Marco: [00:06:41] Later to be taken up by Kandinsky in point. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. I just said so many things that we @ me. Stephanie: [00:06:50] Please don't ask me for any of that. No, we're just a couple of spiritual delinquents, which is a couple of people just sort of bumbling around in a net. Stephanie: [00:06:58] That helps me actually. Yeah. Yeah. No wonder I like Picasso so much though, that era. Well whatever period. Isn't that the proper word. Yeah. Stephanie: [00:07:08] Yeah. Cool. All right. Well, let me let me describe the exercise and then we can talk some more. So this is the way we do this exercise. Stephanie: [00:07:19] We close our eyes and we repeat the lesson. My thoughts do not mean anything. And then we add this idea will help to release me from all that I now believe. We search our mind for all the thoughts that are available to us without selecting any specific ones or judging them or classifying them. [00:07:44] It says here, and I think this is a useful tip we can imagine that we're watching and oddly assorted procession going by, which has little, if any, personal meaning to you. So as each thought crosses our mind, we say my thought about this doesn't mean anything. I thought about that doesn't mean anything. And repeat, this idea will help to release me from all that I now believe. So there's a few things it sort of almost like a little set of mantras or something. Marco: [00:08:17] Mm hmm. Stephanie: [00:08:19] And it says here that where to do this five times a day for no more than a minute each and we can do it for less time if we experience discomfort. [00:08:30] Right. [00:08:32] Would you recommend somebody do that exercise? Indoors versus outdoors versus what kind of setting? [00:08:41] Oh, it doesn't matter because it's only about our thoughts. We're not actually looking around ourselves this time, but we're applying this to our thoughts. [00:08:48] So you could be anywhere, just you could close your eyes, open the movie, anywhere. Why do you ask that? [00:08:56] I think it's well, because, again, because I think there is a perceptual component ultimately to this. It is an interesting exercise to do both in a room where nothing's happening and also on a street where a procession of meaningless objects is passing. [00:09:15] Except that it says close your eyes for these exercise. And I didn't listen to them. [00:09:21] Close your eyes and then repeat. My thoughts do not mean anything. This idea will help to release me from all that I now believe. My thought about this doesn't mean anything. My thought about that doesn't mean anything. [00:09:31] This idea will help to release me from all that I now believe. [00:09:36] The other the other ones are. That was a good suggestion at the earlier expense, but my suggestion that can be applied. [00:09:43] But you have to figure out which products to apply them to you yet that that whole thing couldn't sound more zen. Oh yeah. They can get closer to the kind of zen practice. You couldn't be closer. Pretty much, yeah. I mean, the idea of a lot of ways it's about again, separating things from. The associations we have with them, right, might be they personal or you know, that being a bottle of cologne and a coffee cup and what I feel about those, right. [00:10:19] My thought about this cologne doesn't mean anything. Yeah, yeah. My thought about that coffee doesn't mean anything. [00:10:25] And again, in one of my Facebook dating groups, someone popped up. [00:10:32] Maybe you should clarify that because I've had to ask you what that means. Facebook dating group is a group is not a group of people on Facebook trying to date. [00:10:40] Oh, no, no, no. What is it? It's a it's a group where people talk about dating people outside the group online usually. You know, it's it's a lot of women kvetching about online dating. Sure. Sure. There's one of them, I mean, which has men in it, too, which is, I think, a bit more useful. Yeah. Yeah. What's it called? [00:11:04] You know, boy, that couldn't be less relevant. I'll look it up. [00:11:08] Yeah. I mean three or four of unlikely, you know. But anyway, so this this is popped up. Woman's dating a guy. I get how long. [00:11:19] Not terribly long, not months, but not more than weeks. And she met him for lunch or something and he was dropping her off at her office or something anyway, and she goes to take a selfie with him together. [00:11:33] Oh, Sophie. He goes on a first date. No, no, no, no, no. This is after us. More more than weeks, but less than months. Like it's within the first 90 days of dating, let's say. But they've been on a bunch of dates. So that's a move that the moment. Yeah. It was a moment. It was a thing. Yeah. So he goes, oh, that's not my good side. Oh. And get out of it and get out of it, you know. And then I got out of the shop. Yeah. I wouldn't let her do it. So she's all like what the fuck. [00:11:59] You know, I like what does this mean. You know, she's seeing someone else. It was really rude. I'm really upset. I went home and cried for two hours and. Mm hmm. So, I mean, this is this is really a great example. Like her thoughts don't mean anything about that. There's no way she could know, right. Unless she asks him or a psychic or comes to me to ask me, what do you think, what it meant? Because me, for example, I put selfies on social media all the time with anyone. I mean, I took one in the street. This guy got me to sign up for this thing and took a selfie with him. [00:12:38] Yeah. Often without notifying. Yeah. Yeah. As in the cases when I find myself online, I don't know that I'm gonna do that deal with. Yeah. We need to talk about that later anyway. [00:12:53] And then other people don't put that Sophie's online at all. Ever. They might especially teachers, public school teachers. Sure. So. And then I did have a moment with my former boyfriend where he got really squarely about me taking a selfie. [00:13:12] And that was because he was cheating on me and he didn't want his girlfriend cause. Right. And so these are completely different, different behaviors. [00:13:20] But the last one that you named. Yeah, I would. I'm just gonna go ahead and say that I would. Yeah. I think that that's gonna be the first thing to mind that it was the first thing to her mind. Right. And it's unfortunate because if you just by virtue of all the other things that you named. Even statistically, it's its tenth the most likely reason not to be in a selfie. For me, again, it it would tell it is 100 percent about. This is a step towards solidifying a relationship. [00:13:55] Yes. And I am making a change. And that's what she was upset about because it signaled to her that he was not willing to take that step forward. Yeah, I see. But she also thought that she was. He was seeing some. Yeah. And that's why he wasn't willing. Right. So she might, too. She did assumptions. [00:14:14] Yeah, but you know, lesson 10, my thoughts don't mean anything like she could have avoided all this upset if she'd done these exercises. [00:14:21] You know, my thoughts don't mean anything. You can still find out. You can still ask. You can meditate. You can improve your intuition. You can do all that stuff without getting a broken heart, without getting crying for two hours, without wasting that energy and time. [00:14:37] Now, you don't need to be so attached to your thoughts, which in fact, don't mean anything. [00:14:43] All right. We're less than ten in what makes sense very much to be called the Course in Miracles, because this is a very tall order that's being asked of somebody. [00:14:55] And it does it not? Yes. Yes. And that's why we do it step by step by step, little by little by little. This way. That way. Just for a minute at a time. All right. [00:15:08] But, you know, as it says here in this exercise, this idea will help to release me from all that I now believe and that release is such a relief. [00:15:18] You know. Yeah. Oh, absolutely, absolutely. I mean, I have experience I've definitely experienced prolonged moments at that stage, right. Where my what you said was released for more than a blink or where my wife where I was not invested in the putting meaning into my thoughts where I was. Right. Oh you from that release from. Yeah, sometimes by accident. And then after a lot of practice, sometimes, you know, on purpose. And it's been great. It's it's not. And it is probably a very its course is the natural state. It's a very natural state. But it's not one that's easily. You know, it's not easy to bounce back into without consistent press. [00:15:59] Right. It's a habit. It's a new habit of thinking, which is exactly what a course in miracles is all about. [00:16:05] I feel like if you master the skill and and walked into a first date, you would you would. It would be like dating an alien. It would be like dating. [00:16:12] You mean da man? I would be the star man. [00:16:15] I yeah, if I like sat down next across from somebody I had meeting for the first time and just like spoke truly from my heart about, you know, a world where I was not associating meetings to things. It it's just not the culture. But I think that. [00:16:32] Well. Well, I mean, just trying to imagine. You know, I don't walk into dates and start talking about how nothing means anything to me. [00:16:39] No. [00:16:40] I mean, if you had dinner date in this state of state of mind, right? Well, you bet I do. [00:16:46] Maybe you're right. Maybe, um, that's that's what I do. Yeah. And. [00:16:52] But so. But the thing is, see, we only need like a little bit of ego. This is all about dismantling the ego. We only need as much ego as it takes just to have a personality and not to be like dummy, man, dummy. [00:17:08] There would look what I said or whatever, you know. Right. Oh, I see. And I like that believable object. Yeah. [00:17:20] So how do you keep my personality? Sure. Sure. Sure, sure. But this is how I walk around. [00:17:29] Right. [00:17:30] And you know, the thing that the one thing that can be offensive to people is if I laugh at something that is conventionally serious, subject to a traumatic subject or a tragic event. Example, please. Well, I had a client the other day and she is a hospice nurse. And as we started our work, she was giggling. And and we were talking about. She was wondering, you know, is this her purpose on earth? Is she doing the right thing, moving to this new career? [00:18:07] And Spirit was was revealing that. Yes, it absolutely was, because she saw death as a joyful transition. Now she has to be very careful not to laugh and be very, very happy when people are dying, right? [00:18:26] Yeah. Yeah. [00:18:31] So, yeah, that is it's funny you should say. Yeah, that's weird. I come from a family where we're all forms of a tragedy. Maiming and horror are met with like a moment of acknowledgement followed by like let's make this somehow funny. Yes. Therapeutic and also horrible. [00:18:58] Yeah. There's I'm not sure if it's different from gallows humor. [00:19:00] I think that's a step towards it. I think my client was beyond that. It wasn't about gallows at all. It was truly a joyful transition, which is just how I see it. But I think gallows humor is really can be really healthy and a really good step towards it can be. [00:19:18] And thirty nine years of it straight is is something other than helpful. [00:19:26] Yeah. Well, right. I mean especially. And then if you're drinking it down, you know, you're having a week or whatever is you know, and you're drinking it all down. You know, that's not really helpful. [00:19:33] But yeah. What do we laugh at today? It was a song you played me and we laugh. Oh, I laughed really hard at some lyric. Oh, well, it was it was it it took all the coke in town to bring down Dennis Brown. No, it was it was a little be that song, but it was a long before that about shooting. Was Kurt Cobain, was it that. No, it wasn't a about one too, by the way. It was a good one, too. So here in the mountain songs, we you know, we're about walking into and shooting people. [00:20:01] Uh. Oh, pumping full of lead. Right. [00:20:07] What's it like trying to remember? We're going to get back to you on that. But I always I'm going to bribe the officials. I'm going to kill all the judges. I don't know. Mountain Goats. The sunset tree. It's on there anyway. [00:20:21] I'll have it by the end. But it was funny because I heard you laughing behind me and I was like, God. Not that many people in my life would laugh at this. Like I'm laughing. [00:20:30] It's right. And I'll tell you honestly, at least me at least one of those points, I think my laughter was half conscious because. I was. I knew what content was coming home, as much as I know you and know you, not to kind of like being offended by anything you know or need like sort of a trigger warning. That's not the term looking to use, but I have coloration. Yeah, I heard a much better term medium than that. Oh, just so content. The content preparation content till morning again. Content with something like that. I don't know heard. I've heard the Orpheus product content doesn't very well. It's beginning of episodes where in fiction something that could then content warning is not a bad way of doing it. But anyway. Yep. Right. So although you are not one to need much of that in my experience. Part of that laughter was to say. I know that this line is kind of fucked, huh? Yeah, I think. But after that, you know, can I can I pause? Yes. We should have maybe discussed earlier, but we don't. We're at episode 10 now. Episode 10, maybe eleven. Well, it's less than 10. Less than 10. Yes. But we're it we're a little bit into the podcast now. I don't really know if the listeners know what it means when you say I was working with a client. [00:22:01] Oh yeah. Right. So I'm a psychic medium and spiritualist minister and my clients come to me for help with spiritual growth. [00:22:13] And they sometimes have very specific questions like can I please talk to my recently deceased brother about what he wants to do about the will? Yeah. Huh? Yeah. Very useful. And other times it's like I'm being haunted in my dreams. [00:22:31] Or does this mean or I'm seeing things? Am I insane or it's helped me deal with my mother, who has always armors and I want to grow with this spiritual challenge so it can run the gamut. You know, it's ministering and it's psychic medium shaped like a psychic therapist. [00:22:53] Right. Okay. That's really funny. There's. The aforementioned Orpheus protocol features a character who is a psychic psychiatrist. [00:23:04] Oh, really? Would be the best psychiatrist. Well, that's what I'm saying. Everyone should come to me because I can tell you what people in your life are thinking. You don't have to, like, go round and run around about it, but you can't read minds. That's the one. [00:23:17] Oh, I do. Tune in. I can't. No. I should say I can't tell you what they're thinking. I can tell you what they're feeling. [00:23:23] Right. But if you could read minds, you would know that I was gonna bring us on this huge tangent, which I did. [00:23:29] Well, even if I could read minds, I have to choose to do it. So this is people thing. People think I walk around like knowing everything. [00:23:34] But no, that would be fucking magic. Goddamn nightmare. Yes, I know. I don't. I don't do that. I don't. I don't do that. Did you turn on and off? So where the hell are we now? Well, our thoughts don't mean anything, that's all. [00:23:51] We have to live in the moment. And this is an exercise to do it. Yeah, me think, you know, how do you think? [00:24:01] So let's say you work on this lesson and you start. You get getting it. It's working for you. What sort of outcomes might you. What? What? What things might you expect to see? Experience differently in your day to day question? [00:24:18] Yeah, totally, yeah. Well, it means you won't be upset so much like the the woman I mentioned, you know, someone's like jumping out of a selfie and you'll go, huh? And you'll get curious about it as opposed to attached to your own thought. Which leads to a painful emotion. And pretty soon, eventually, pretty soon, eventually, you won't be afraid of a broken heart. [00:24:46] And that that to me is something I would love to give to people, especially women, to go into dates, to go into relationships romantically, especially, but even with children and pair dying parents to go into them without being afraid of being hurt, because then you can live fully as opposed to living half way because you're afraid and you're putting up walls or getting defensive. [00:25:18] Okay. Can you tell? God it. [00:25:24] Oh, sorry. [00:25:24] I almost made it out on a huge way and I'm not gonna to that about why this is the third time we're trying to do that. I don't know. Nobody knows that. [00:25:34] It's an edit point. We can take that out. All right. So that's interesting what you just said. Especially interesting. What it's tell me, if you would. Because I don't know as a woman what what is a woman afraid of being? In what way is a woman afraid of being hurt on a on a first or second date? Aside from some, you know, really horrible over the top kind of thing. [00:26:02] I'm not sure if it's exactly being hurt like by the first or second type, but it's afraid of at some point the helicopter now breaking her heart. OK. Yeah, afraid of afraid of opening up. And at some point in the near ish future, the guy disappearing or changing his mind or not being the one and then she's left brokenhearted. [00:26:33] That is so interesting to me because I you my experience is sorta. Along the lines of. Not knowing when, not knowing when it's the right moment to kind of show emotion because that can scare a person. In my experience, you showing emotion scares the women. That's a concern of mine. I don't know that it does. I mean, I've not heard that feedback because. Well, I just haven't. But I think. Well, so shown. OK. So, I mean, I think you'd agree that that that showing more than average emotion means that you're communicating to the other person, that you are prepared. You have a greater depth emotionally and that you're you're getting invested in the relationship. I have feelings for you. And now, you know, the last time. [00:27:33] Well, that's two different things. And I think that's a very important point. And what I try to teach is that just having feelings right now doesn't mean you're promising anything. It doesn't mean you're investing. I don't even know what that word means. I would assume that it means I'm investing in the future. [00:27:51] Like, if, you know, if it's like a financial term, like I'm putting money into this for four in the hope of future future gains. And I and I think that that's wrong, wrong mindedness. I think that's the perception that we can benefit from dissolving. I can be very, very much in the moment and expressing an incredibly strong, deep and high and wide emotion. Yes. Do not expect anyone to ask me to marry them or not not ask anyone on a second date. I mean, it just it is now that. [00:28:32] And that's fantastic. I have not. Run into a lot of people like that, right, and I think that's what we're trying to learn here. [00:28:40] Right. [00:28:47] So we've done it. I think we'll be there'll be more on this in a minute. [00:28:51] And after midnight for the no. But to come. [00:28:56] Ok. Well, let's let's end this here. Let's go to Americans in Manhattan after midnight. What is it? Miracles after midnight? [00:29:01] Something like that. Yeah. Well, let's go to let's invite people to that site. But oh, we should also tell people, hey, guys and gals, we have an e-mail address now. Yes, we do. [00:29:12] And why do we have an e-mail address stuff so that you can e-mail us questions with questions? We're taking questions. Miraclesinmanhattan@gmail.com [00:29:20] We are going to answer your questions in as apt a fashion as we answer one another's here on this. [00:29:28] Yes. Miracles in Manhattan, Gmail dot com. Easy to remember. Yeah. All you have to do is remember the name of the podcast. And then Gee Mary, popular Google product Miracles in Manhattan, G.M. dot com. [00:29:41] So just remember that. Well, we'll point you in the right direction. Yeah. And yeah. [00:29:47] Friels do to please e-mail questions and don't feel like they need to be totally pertinent to the episode you just listened to. [00:29:54] No, no, no. I need any any of you any lesson yet. All right. Well, that's lesson 10. OK, I'll see you next time. [00:30:03] Let's move on. All right. That's that. We're done here. All right. [00:30:06] Hey, have a great week. Then you say goodbye. Oh, by the way. Sure. I'll keep. That was fun. That was good. I can. We're back on track in. --- Spirituality, sexuality, love, mental health

Fish just got back from a bachelor party in Dubuque, Iowa and the way he talked about it, it wasn't your typical bachelor party. Just a bunch of dudes renting a house, having fire pits, gambling, and exchanging soap. Huh? Yeah, one of Fish's big stories from the weekend was the great smelling soap he got. Also on the show, we asked you what you'd never want to see again, we talked a little bit about the final episode of Game of Thrones, and we asked if you wash your legs in the shower.

Hi House Talkers! In the last few weeks, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC) have announced their hires to run their respective committees' Independent Expenditure campaigns (congrats, Jessica Mackler and Joe King!). We thought it was perfect timing to bring in someone who has been in their shoes to talk about what's often called the "loneliest job in politics." And that someone is the DCCC's 2016 Independent Expenditure Director, Ty Matsdorf! He joins us this week to talk about I.E.s and how they *really* work. Ty is a native of southern Oregon who got his political start with former Montana Senator Max Baucus. Whether you think you know all about how I.E.s work or this is the first time you've ever of them, we promise you'll learn something new in the half hour we spend with Ty! In our Ad Spotlight, we'll share an ad that aired in northern New Jersey last cycle -- set to the tune of "Dixie." Huh? Yeah, it worked. Check it out. Ali & Liesl

In this episode of the Mom & Dad are Stoned Podcast we drop some knowledge on ya'll about marijuana consumption methods. Huh? Yeah, cause apparently there are other ways to use it! Smoking, Vaping, Edibles and Concentrates (Dabbing!). Today we're breaking down the main methods and schooling stoner parents out there (and future stoner parents) on their many options for getting stoned.  MADAS 22 | Ways to Consume Cannabis | Mom & Dad are Stoned Podcast   CrispyTurtle517 is gonna like this episode Let's face it, smoking is not for everyone. Parents especially walk a fine line when it comes to socially acceptable cannabis use. Smoking weed looks so much like smoking cigarettes, something we've all been conditioned not to do. So what to do if smoking just is not something you want to start up? Are you just totally out of luck in the cannabis department. Absolutely not! Fortunately cannabis is such a beautiful substance we are able to consume it in a whole different bunch of ways. From concentrated pills for hospice residents to six foot balloons of vapor being passed around at a frat party. Cannabis is freaking magical man. Smoking- the fastest method with immediate results. Despite years of propaganda there is ZERO evidence linking lung cancer to marijuana smoking. Vaping- Booming in popularity, vaping is the method for hipsters and the health conscious. With this method cannabis is heated to a temperature just before combustion, resulting in cannabinoid rich vapor, and zero smoke. Edibles: The most powerful of ways to consume cannabis. Narcotic, pain annihilating, with a danger for a bad trip, edibles are like the wild west of cannabis. Despite that, they are hugely effective and should be given a chance. Dabbing Concentrates: Blow torches, solvent-made concentrates, and bongs that we call "rigs". Dabbing is weird, new, and confusing for the middle-aged. Not after today. Dabbing just refers to the motion of "dabbing" a piece of cannabis concentrate to a very hot surface, and then inhaling the smoke. Learn more, click play above!

In which we say zero about cannabis We've found ourselves at the awkward end of GrowCast Season 1. In this season finale David somehow manages to devote 30 minutes to talking about The Wire. Huh? Yeah, The Wire. As in, the show. David and I like our stories. We like to lay in bed and watch messed up stuff. We love binge watching a great series, and The Wire is one of them. So I let him talk about it. For an entire episode. Because when your harvest is over and you've successfully made your own weed, you probably should get stoned and watch something cool, like The Wire. In the meantime, a podcast makeover We are using this wrap up as our time to transition The Stoner Mom Presents: GrowCast to something different. David and I have decided to combine our podcast ideas into one show. We're funnier when we're together you see. So, from now on the podcast is going to have a different format and cover some additional topics outside of growing. I really think you guys are going to love it. In the meantime, click play below to listen to our bizarre season one finale. https://thestonermom.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Growcast-12_mixdown.mp3   What's going on with Dave's grow? Yes. you will for sure still be updated on the progress of my grow. Oh, and by the way I am NOT a Dave. I am a David 100%. I just like to call myself Dave when I am doing projects. Like IT Dave for working on our WiFI connection or in this case, Grow Dave. Here is a pic of my flowering DWC plants a little over 3 weeks in. I am blown away at how fast these plants grow in hydro. They also want more light. They eat that up. Can't get enough. Hope you enjoyed GrowCast. As always, please email me with any questions at: thestonermomshusband@gmail.com

In this week's episode we take a retrospective look at the Internet and discuss the impact it has made in each one of us.
