In this episode of Welcome to Cloudlandia, we reflect on how places, people, and experiences shape our perspectives. The conversation begins with casual observations, from warm weather making transitions easier to memorable encounters like “Spam Man,” a mysterious figure spotted at the Hazleton Hotel. We also explore the impact of changing landscapes, both physical and cultural. From real estate in Toronto to how cities evolve, we discuss how development can shape or diminish the character of a place. This leads to a broader conversation about timeless architecture, like Toronto's Harris Filtration Plant, and how thoughtful design contributes to a city's identity. Technology's role in daily life also comes up, especially how smartphones dominate attention. A simple observation of people walking through Yorkville reveals how deeply connected we are to our screens, often at the expense of real-world engagement. We contrast this with the idea that some things, like human connection and cooperation, remain unchanged even as technology advances. The discussion closes with thoughts on long-term impact—what lasts and fades over time. Whether it's historic buildings, enduring habits, or fundamental human behaviors, the conversation emphasizes that while trends come and go, specific principles and ways of thinking remain relevant across generations. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS In Phoenix, during a rooftop party, we witnessed a surprise appearance of a SpaceX rocket, which sparked our discussion on extraordinary events blending with everyday life. We explored the curious case of "Spam man," a local legend in Hazleton, whose mysterious persona intrigued us as much as any UFO sighting. We shared our fascination with the dynamic real estate landscape in Hazleton, discussing new constructions and their impact on scenic views. Our conversation touched on unique weather patterns at the beaches near the lake, emphasizing the influence of water temperatures on seasonal climate variations. We delved into the topic of warmer winters, reflecting on how both humans and nature adapt to milder temperatures, particularly during February 2024. Our discussion included insights from Morgan Housel's book, which inspired our reflections on nature's resilience and adaptation over millions of years. We highlighted local activities like windsurfing and kite skiing, noting the favorable wind conditions at the beaches, a rarity in Canada's cold-weather climate.

Dan: Mr Jackson. I hope you behaved when you were out of my sight. Dean: I did. I'll have to tell you something. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the arrangement of this warm weather. For me, it's made the transition much more palatable warm weather. Dan: for me it's made the transition much more palatable. Dean: I mean our backstage team is really getting good at this sort of thing, and you know when we were in. Dan: we were in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago and we had a rooftop party and right in the middle of the party we arranged for Elon Musk to send one of his rockets out. Dean: I saw that a satellite launch yeah. Dan: Yeah, can you imagine that guy and how busy he is? But just you know, just to handle our request he just ended up with, yeah, must be some money involved with that. Dean: Well, that's what happens, Dan. We have a positive attitude on the new budget. Dan: Yeah, and you think in terms of unique ability, collaboration, you know, breakthroughs free zone you know, all that stuff, it's all. Dean: it's the future. Dan: Yeah. So good Well he sent the rocket up and they're rescuing the astronauts today. Dean: Oh, is that right? How long has it been now since they've been? Dan: It's been a long time seven, eight months, I think, Uh-huh, yeah and Boeing couldn't get them down. Boeing sent them up, but they couldn't get them down. You know, which is only half the job, really. Dean: That was in the Seinfeld episode about taking the reservation and holding the reservation. Yeah. They can take the reservation. They just can't hold the reservation yeah. Dan: It's like back really the integral part. Back during the moonshot, they thought that the Russians were going to be first to the moon. Kennedy made his famous speech. You know we're going to put a man on and they thought the Russians, right off the bat, would beat him, because Kennedy said we'll bring him back safely and the Russians didn't include that in their prediction. That's funny. Dean: We had that. We're all abuzz with excitement over here at the Hazleton. There's a funny thing that happened. It started last summer that Chad Jenkins Krista Smith-Klein is that her name yeah, yeah. So we were sitting in the lobby one night at the Hazleton here and this guy came down from the residences into the lobby. It was talking to the concierge but he had this Einstein-like hair and blue spam t-shirts that's, you know, like the can spam thing on it and pink, pink shorts and he was, you know, talking to the concierge. And then he went. Then he went back upstairs and this left such an impression on us that we have been, you know, lovingly referring to him as Spam man since the summer, and we've been every time here on alert, on watch, because we have to meet and get to know Spam man, because there's got to be a story behind a guy like that in a place like this. And so this morning I had coffee with Chad and then Chad was going to get a massage and as he walked into the spa he saw Spamman and he met him and he took a picture, a selfie, with him and texted it. But I haven't that. His massage was at 10 o'clock, so all I have is the picture and the fact that he met Spamman, but I haven't that. His massage was at 10 o'clock, so all I have is the picture and the fact that he met Spam man, but I don't have the story yet. But it's just fascinating to me that this. I want to hear the story and know this guy now. I often wonder how funny that would appear to him. That made such an impression on us last summer that every time we've been at the Hazleton we've been sitting in the lobby on Spam man. Watch, so funny. I'll tell you the story tomorrow. I'll get to the bottom of it. Dan: It's almost like UFO watchers. They think they saw it once and they keep going back to the same place you know hoping that'll happen again, yeah. Dean: Is there a? Dan: spot. Is there a spot at the Hazleton? Dean: There is yeah. Dan: Oh, I didn't know that. Dean: So there's some eclectic people that live here, like seeing just the regulars or whatever that I see coming in and out of the of the residence because it shares. Dan: There's a lot, you know, yeah that's a that's pretty expensive real estate. Actually, the hazelton, yeah for sure, especially if you get the rooftop one, although they've destroyed I I think you were telling me they've destroyed the value of the rooftop because now they're building 40-story buildings to block off the view. Dean: I mean that's crazy. Right Right next door. Yeah, yeah, but there you go. How are things in the beaches as well? Dan: Yeah. You know it's interesting because we're so close to the lake it's cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, you know. Dean: Oh, okay. Dan: You know, because controlled by water temperatures. Dean: Water temperatures. Dan: Yes, exactly, I mean even you know, even if it's cold, you know the water temperature is maybe 65, 66. Dean: Fahrenheit, you know it's not frigid. Dan: It's not frigid. Dean: They have wintertime plungers down here people who go in you know during the winter yeah, but this is that you and babs aren't members of the polar bear club that would not be us um but anyway, uh, they do a lot of uh windsurfing. Dan: There's at the far end of our beach going uh towards the city. They have really great wind conditions there. You see the kite skiers. They have kites and they go in the air. It's quite a known spot here. I mean, canada doesn't have too much of this because we're such a cold-weather country. There isn't the water, it's pretty cold even during the summertime yeah exactly yeah, but the lake doesn't freeze, that's oh, it does, it does yeah, yeah we've had, we've had winters, where it goes out, you know, goes out a quarter mile it'll be. Dean: I didn't realize that Wow. Dan: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but not this winter. It never froze over this winter, but we have, you know, within the last two or three winters, we've had ice on the. We've had ice, you know, for part of the winter. Dean: It's funny to me, dan, to see this. Like you know, it's going gonna be 59 degrees today, so, yeah, it's funny to me to see people you know out wearing shorts and like, but it must be like a, you know, a heat wave. Compared to what? You had in the first half of march here, right, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, so that's good. Dan: Yeah, last February not this past month, but February of 2024, we had 10 days in February where it was over 70. Dean: And. Dan: I often wonder if the trees get pulled, the plants get pulled. Dean: It triggers them to like hey, oh my. Dan: God. But apparently temperature is just one of the factors that govern their behavior. The other one is the angle of the light. Dean: And that doesn't change the angle of the sunlight. Dan: Yeah, so they. You know I mean things work themselves out over millions of years. So you know there's, you know they probably have all sorts of indicators and you have 10 boxes to check and if only one of them is checked, that doesn't, it doesn't fool them. You know they have a lot of things that I sent you and I don't know if we ever discussed it or you picked it up after I recommended it was Morgan Housel, famous ever. Dean: Did you like that? Did you like that? Dan: book. I did, I loved. It was Morgan Housel famous ever. Did you like that? Did you like that book? Dean: I did, I loved it. I mean it was really like, and I think ever you know, very, very interesting to me because of what I've been doing, you know the last little while, as I described, reading back over you know 29 years of journals, picking random things and seeing so much of what, so much of what, the themes that go that time feels the last. You know 30 years has gone by so fast that I, when I'm reading in that journal, I can remember exactly like where I was and I can remember the time because I would date and place them each journal entry. So I know where I was when I'm writing them. But I thought that was a really, I thought it was a really interesting book. What stood out for you from? Dan: Yeah, I think the biggest thing is that really great things take a long time to create. Dean: Yeah. Dan: Because they have to be tested against all sorts of changing conditions and if they get stronger, it's like you know they're going to last for a long time. Dean: And. Dan: I'm struck by it because the book, the little book that I'm writing for the quarter, is called the Bill of Rights Economy and the Bill of Rights really started with the United States. It was December 15th 1791. So that's when, I think, washington was just inaugurated at that time as the first president. But, how durable they are, and you can read the newspaper every day of things going on in Washington and you can just check off the first 10 amendments. This is a Fifth Amendment issue. This is a second amendment you know and everything like that, and it's just how much they created such a durable framework for a country. They were about 3 million people at that time and now there are 300 and whatever probably upwards of 350 million. And basically, the country runs essentially according to those first 10 amendments and then the articles which say how the machinery of government actually operates. And it's by far the longest continuous governing system in the world. That's really interesting. But that's why you know I really like things that you know, that you know that have stood the test of time. I like having my life based on things that have stood the test of time. And then I've got, you know, I've got some really good habits which I've developed over the last 50 years of coaching. Got, you know, I've got some really good habits which I've developed over the last 50 years of coaching and you know they work. You know I don't fool around with things that work. Yeah Well, I want to bring in something. I really am more and more struck how there's a word that's used in the high technology field because I was just at Abundance 360. And it's the word disruption and it's seen as a good thing, and I don't see disruption as good. I don't really see it as a good thing. I see it as something that might happen as a result of a new thing, but I don't think the disruption is a good thing. Dean: Yeah, it feels like it's not. It seems like the opposite of collaboration. Yeah, it really is. It feels like the negative. You know the I forget who said it, but you know the two ways they have the biggest building. Dan: I really mean Chucky movie. Dean: Yeah, there was somebody said the two ways to have the biggest building in town, the tallest building is to build the tallest building or to tear down all the other buildings that are taller than yours, and that's what disruption feels like to see in the real estate industry is always one that is, you know, set up as the big fat cat ready for disruption. And people have tried and tried to disrupt the real estate industry and, you know, I came away from the first, the first abundance 360, realizing that, you know, perhaps the thing that same makes real estate possible is that you can't digitize the last hundred feet of a real estate transaction. You know, and I think that there are certain industries, certain things that we are, that there's a human element to things. Dan: That is very yeah, yeah, I mean, it's really interesting just to switch on to that subject. On the real, estate. If you take Silicon Valley, Hollywood and Wall Street, who are the richest people in the area Silicon? Dean: Valley. Dan: Hollywood and Wall Street. Who are the richest people in the area? Dean: Silicon Valley Hollywood and Wall Street. Dan: Who are the real money makers? Dean: Yeah, Wall Street. Dan: No, the real estate developers. Dean: Oh, I see, oh, the real estate developers. Oh yeah, yeah, that's true, right, that's true. Dan: I don't care what you've invented or what your activity is. I'll tell you the people who really make the money are the people who are into real estate. Dean: Yeah, you can't digitize it, that's for sure. Dan: Well, I think the answer is in the word. It's real. Dean: What was that site, dan, that you were talking about? That was is it real? Or is it Bach or whatever? Or is it Guy or whatever? What was? Or is it AI or Bach? Dan: Well, no, I was. Yeah, I was watching. It was a little, you know, it was on YouTube and it was Bach versus AI. Dean: So what they've? Dan: done. You know you can identify the. You know the building components that Bach uses to you know to write his music and then you know you can take it apart and you know you can say do a little bit of this, do a little bit of this, do a little bit of this. And then what they have? They play two pieces. They play an actual piece by Bach and then they play another piece which is Bach-like you know, and there were six of them. And there was a of them and there was a host on the show and he's a musician, and whether he was responding realistically or whether he was sort of faking it, he would say boy, I can't really tell that one, but I guessed on all six of them and I guessed I guessed right. Dean: I know there was just something about the real Bach and I think I think it was emotional more than you know that could be the mirror neurons that you know you can sense the transfer of emotion through that music, you know. Dan: Yeah, and I listen to Bach a lot I still get surprised by something he's got these amazing chord changes you know, and what he does. And my sense is, as we enter more and more into the AI world, our you know, our perceptions and our sensitivities are going to heighten to say is that the real deal or not? Dean: you know yeah sensitivities are going to heighten to say is that the real deal or not? You know, and yeah, that's what you know, jerry Spence, I think I mentioned. Dan: Jerry Spence about that that Jerry Spence said. Dean: our psychic tentacles are in the background measuring everything for authenticity, and they can detect the thin clank of the counterfeit. Yeah, and I think that's no matter what. You can always tell exactly. I mean, you can tell the things that are digitized. It's getting more and more realistic, though, in terms of the voice things for AI. I'm seeing more and more of those voice caller showing up in my news feed, and we were talking about Chris Johnson. Chris Johnson, yeah, yeah, chris Johnson. Dan: This is really good because he's really fine-tuned it to. First of all, it's a constantly changing voice. That's the one thing I noticed. The second version, first version, not so much, but I've heard two versions of the caller. And what I noticed is, almost every time she talks, there's a little bit of difference to the tone. There's a little bit, you know, and she's in a conversation. Dean: Is it mirroring kind of thing, Like is it adapting to the voice on the other end? Dan: Yeah, I think there's. I certainly think there's some of that. And that is part of what we check out as being legitimate or not, because you know that it wouldn't be the same, because there's meaning. You know meaning different meaning, different voice, if you're talking to an actual individual who's not you know, who's not real monotonic. But yeah, the big thing about this is that I think we get smarter. I was talking, we were on a trip to Israel and we were talking in this one kibbutz up near the Sea of Galilee and these people had been in and then they were forced out. In 2005, I think it was, the Israeli government decided to give the Gaza territory back to the Palestinians. But it was announced about six months before it happened and things changed right away. The danger kicked up. There was violence and you know, kicked up. And I was talking to them. You know how can you send your kids out? You know, just out on their own. And they said, oh, first thing that they learned. You know he said three, four or five years old. They can spot danger in people. You know, if they see someone, they can spot danger with it. And I said boy oh boy, you know, it just shows you the, under certain conditions, people's awareness and their alertness kicks up enormously. They can take things into account that you went here in Toronto, for example. You know, you know, you know that's wild. Dean: Yeah, this whole, I mean, I think in Toronto. Dan: The only thing you'd really notice is who's offering the biggest pizza at the lowest price. Dean: Oh, that's so funny. There's some qualitative element around that too. It's so funny. You think about the things that are. I definitely see this Cloudlandia-enhan. You know that's really what the main thing is, but you think about how much of what's going on. We're definitely living in Cloudlandia. I sat last night, dan, I was in the lobby and I was writing in my journal, and I just went outside for a little bit and I sat on one of the benches in the in front of the park. Oh yeah, in front of the hotel and it was a beautiful night. Dan: Like I mean temperature was? Dean: yeah, it was beautiful. So I'm sitting out there, you know, on a Saturday night in Yorkville and I'm looking at March. I'm just yeah, I'm just watching, and I left my phone. I'm making a real concerted effort to detach from my oxygen tank as much as I can. Right, and my call, that's what I've been calling my iPhone right, because we are definitely connected to it. And I just sat there without my phone and I was watching people, like head up, looking and observing, and I got to. I just thought to myself I'm going to count, I'm going to, I'm going to observe the next 50 people that walk by and I'm going to see how many of them are glued to their phone and how many have no visible phone in sight, and so do you. Dan: What was it? Nine out of 10? Dean: Yeah, it wasn't even that. Yeah, that's exactly what it was. It was 46, but it wasn't even 10. Yeah, it was real. That's exactly what it was. It was 46. Dan: It wasn't even 10%, it was 19. It wasn't even no, it was 19 out of 20. Dean: Yeah, I mean, isn't that something, dan? Like it was and I'm talking like some of them were just like, literally, you know, immersed in their phone, but their body was walking, yeah, and the others, but their body was walking. But it's interesting too. Dan: If you had encountered me. I think my phone is at home and I know it's not charged up. Dean: Yeah, it's really something, dan, that was an eye-opener to me. It's really something, dan, that was an eye-opener to me, and the interesting thing was that the four that weren't on the phone were couples, so there were two people, but of the individuals, it was 100% of. The individuals walking were attached to their phones. Dan: Yeah. Dean: And I think that's where we're at right now. Dan: No, yeah, I don't know, it's just that. Dean: No, I'm saying that's observation. Dan: It's like Well, that's where we are, in Yorkville, in front of Okay, right, right, right yeah. No, it's just that I find Yorkville is a peculiarly Are you saying it's an outlier? It's not so much of an outlier but it's probably the least connected group of people in Toronto would be in Yorkville because they'd be out for the. They don't live there. You know most don't live there, they're and they're somewhere. There's probably the highest level of strangers you know, on any given night in toronto would probably be in yorkville I think it's sort of outliers sort of situation. I mean, I mean, if you came to the beaches on a yeah last night, the vast majority of people would be chatting with each other and talking with each other. They would be on their phones. I think think it's just a. It's probably the most what I would call cosmopolitan part of Toronto, in other words it's the part of Toronto that has the least to do with Toronto. Dean: Okay. Dan: It's trying to be New York, yorkville is trying to be. Dean: New York. Dan: Yeah, it's the Toronto Life magazine version of Toronto. Dean: Yeah, you idealize the avatar of Toronto, right yeah? Dan: In Toronto Life. They always say Toronto is a world-class city and I said no. I said, london's a world-class city. Dean: New. Dan: York is a world-class city. Tokyo is a world-class city. You know how, you know they're a world class city. Dean: They don't have to call themselves a world class city. Dan: They don't call themselves a world class city. They just are If you say you're a world class city. It's proof that you're not a world class city. Dean: That's funny. Yeah, I'll tell you what I think. I've told you what really brought that home for me was at the Four Seasons in London at Trinity Square, and Qatar TV and all these Arab the Emirates TV, all these things, just to see how many other cultures there are in the world. I mean, london is definitely a global crossroads, for sure. Dan: Yeah yeah. And that's what makes something the center, and that is made up of a thousand different little non-reproducible vectors. You know just, you know, just, you know. It's just that's why I like London so much. I just like London. It's just a great wandering city. You just come out of the hotel, walk out in any direction. Guarantee you, in seven minutes you're lost you have the foggiest idea where you are and you're seeing something new that you'd never seen before. And it's 25, the year 1625. Dean: I remember you and I walking through London 10 years ago, wandering through for a long time and coming to one of these great bookstores. You know, yeah, but you're right, like the winding in some of the back streets, and that was a great time. Yeah, you can't really wander and wander and wander. Dan: Yeah, it was a city designed by cows on the way home, right, exactly. Yeah, you can't really wander and wander and wander. Dean: Yeah, it was a city designed by cows on the way home, Right exactly. Dan: Yeah, it's really interesting. You know, that brings up a subject why virtual reality hasn't taken off, and I've been thinking about that because the buzz, you know how long ago was it? You would say seven years ago, seven, eight years ago everything's going to be virtual reality. Would that be about right? Oh, yeah, yeah. Dean: That was when virtual reality was in the lead. Remember then the goggles, the Oculus, yeah, yeah, that was what, yeah, pre-covid, so probably seven years ago 17, 17. And it's kind of disappeared, hasn't it compared to you know? Dan: why it doesn't have enough variety in it. And this relates back to the beginning of our conversation today. How do you know whether it's fake or not and we were talking on the subject of London that on any block, what's on that block was created by 10,000 different people over 500 years and there's just a minute kind of uniqueness about so much of what goes on there when you have the virtual reality. Let's say they create a London scene, but it'll be maybe a team of five people who put it together. And it's got a sameness to it. It's got, you know, oh definitely. Dean: That's where you see in the architecture like I don't. You know, one of the things I always look forward to is on the journey from here to strategic coach. So tomorrow, when we ride down University through Queen's Park and the old University of Toronto and all those old buildings there that are just so beautiful Stone buildings the architecture is stunning. Nobody's building anything like that now. No, like none of the buildings that you see have any soul or are going to be remembered well and they're not designed. Dan: They're not really designed to last more than 50 years. I have a architect. Well, you know richard hamlin he says that those, the newest skyscrapers you see in Toronto, isn't designed to last more than 50 years. You know, and, and you know, it's all utilitarian, everything is utilitarian, but there's no emphasis on beauty, you know. There's no emphasis on attractiveness. There's a few but not many. Attractiveness there's a few but not many. And, as a matter of fact, my favorite building in Toronto is about six blocks further down the lake from us, right here. It's called the Harris Filtration Plant. Dean: Oh yeah, we've walked by there, right at the end of the building. Dan: Built in 19, I think they finished in 1936. Dean: Yeah. Dan: And it's just an amazing building. I mean it's on three levels, they have three different buildings and it goes up a hill and it's where the water. You know, at that time it was all the water in Toronto that came out of the lake and they have 17 different process. You know the steps. And you go in there and there's no humans in there, it's all machinery. You can just hear the buzz and that's the water being filtered. It's about a quarter of the city now comes through that building. But it's just an absolutely gorgeous building and they spared no cost on it. And the man who built it, harris, he was the city manager. They had a position back there. It was city manager and it was basically the bureaucrat who got things done, and he also built the bridge across the Down Valley on Bloor. Dean: Yeah, beautiful bridge Right. Dan: He built that bridge and he was uneducated. He had no education, had no training, but he was just a go-getter. He was also in charge of the water system and the transportation system. And you know he put in the first streetcars and everything like that, probably the greatest bureaucrat toronto ever had, you know in the history of toronto this is the finest what year is that building from? yeah, the filtration plant was started in 29 and it was finished in 36 and wow they yeah, they had to rip out a whole section. It was actually partially woods, partially, I think, you know they had everything there, but they decided that would be the best place to bring it in there. Dean: You know it's got a lot more than 100 years. Dan: Yeah, but it's the finest building it's it's rated as one of the top 10 government buildings in north america yeah, it's beautiful. Dean: And that bridge I mean that bridge in the Don Valley is beautiful too. Dan: Yeah, it was really interesting. He put the bridge in and the bridge was put in probably in the 30s too. I mean that was vital because the valley really kept one part of Toronto apart from the other part of Toronto. It was hard to get from one part of Toronto apart from the other part of Toronto. You know, it's hard to get from one part of Toronto to the next. And so they put that bridge in, and that was about in the 30s and then in the no, I think it was in the 20s, they put that in 1920, so 100 years. And in the 1950s they decided to put in their first subway system. So they had Yonge Street and so Yonge Street north, and then they had Buller and Danforth. So they budgeted that they were going to really have to retrofit the bridge. And when they got it and they took all the dimensions, he had already anticipated that they were going to put a subway in. So it was all correct. And so anyway, he saw he had 30 or 40 years that they were going to put up. They would have to put a subway in. So it was all correct and yeah and so anyway he saw I had 30 or 40 years that they were going to put up. They would have to put, they're going to put the subway and it had to go through the bridge and so so they didn't have to retrofit it at all. Yeah, pretty cool. Dean: What do you think we're doing now? That's going to be remembered in 100 years or it's going to be impacted in 100 years? Dan: Well, we're not going backwards with technology, so any technology we have today we'll have 100 years from now. So you know, I mean I think the you know. Well, you just asked a question that explains why I'm not in the stock market. Dean: Exactly. Warren Buffett can't predict what's going to happen. We can't even tell what's going to change in the next five years. Dan: I don't know what's going to happen next year. I don't know what's going to happen next year. Dean: Isn't it interesting? I think a lot of the things that we're at could see, see the path to improvement or expansion, like when the railroad came in. You know it's interesting that you could see that that was we. You know, part of it was, you know, filling the territory, connecting the territory with all the, with all this stuff, and you could see that happening. But even now, you know, this is why warren buffett, you know, again with the, probably one of the largest owners of railroad things in the states, him, yeah, and because that's not changed in 200, yeah, or whatever, 150 years anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah, most of the country probably, you know, 150 years at least. Yeah, and so all of that, all those things, and even in the first half of the 1900s, you know all the big change stuff, yeah, yeah. Dan: Yeah. Dean: So it's funny because it's like I can't even see what categories are the biggest. Dan: Well, I think they'll be more intangibles than tangibles. For example, I think all my tools work 100 years from now. Yeah, I think all my thinking tools work 100 years from now. Dean: Well, because our brains will still be the same in 100 years. Yeah, all that interaction, right, the human behavior stuff. Dan: yeah, yeah yeah I don't think human behavior, um I think it's really durable you know, and that it's very interesting, um, and there was a phrase being used at Abundance that was used about four or five times during the two days that we were becoming godlike, and I said, no, I don't think so. Dean: I guess are they saying in that we can do things because of technology, we can do things. Dan: And I said nah, it's just the next. It's just the next new thing. You know that we've created, but human nature is, you know, there's a scientist, Joe Henrich, and a really bright guy. He's written a book you might be interested in. It's called the Secret of Our Success. And he was just exploring why humans, of all the species on the planet, became the dominant species. And you wouldn't have predicted it. Because we're not very fast, we're not very strong, we don't climb particularly well, we don't swim particularly well, we can't fly and everything like that. So you know, compared with a lot of the other species. But he said that somewhere along the line he buys into the normal thing that we came from ape-like species before we were human. But he says at one point there was a crossover and that one ape was looking at another ape. And he says he does things differently than I. I do. If I can work out a deal with him, he can do this while I'm doing that and we're twice as well. Dean: I was calling that. Dan: I've been calling that the cooperation game but that's really and that's playing that and we're the only species that can continually invent new ways to do that, and I mean every most. You know higher level. And mammals anyway can cooperate. You know they cooperate with each other. They know a friend from anatomy and they know how to get together. But they don't know too much more at the end of their life than they knew at the beginning of their life. You know in other words. They pretty well had it down by the time they were one year old and they didn't invent new ways of cooperating really. But humans do this on a daily basis. Humans will invent new ways of cooperating from morning till night. And he says that's the reason we just have this infinite ability to cooperate in new ways. And he says that's the reason we just have this infinite ability to cooperate in new ways. And he says that's why we're the top species. The other thing is we're the only species that take care of other species. We're the only species that study and document other species. We're the only species that actually create new species. You know put this together with that and we get something. Yeah, yeah and so, so, so, anyway, and so that's where you begin the. You know if you're talking about sameness. What do we know 100 years from now? Dean: What we know over the 100 years is that humans will have found almost countless new ways to cooperate with each other yeah, I think that that's, and but the access to right, the access to, that's why I think these, the access to capabilities, as a, you know, commodity I'm not saying commodity in a, you know, I'm not trying to like lower the status of ability, but to emphasize the tradability of it. You know that it's something that is a known quantity you know yeah. Dan: But my sense is that the relative comparison, that one person, let's say you take 10 people. Let's take 100 people that the percentage of them that could cooperate with each other at high levels, I believe isn't any different in 2024 than it was in 1924. If you take 100 people. Some have very high levels to cooperate with each other and they do, and the vast majority of them very limited amount to cooperate with each other, but are you talking about. Dean: That comes down, then, to the ability to be versus capability. That they have the capability. Dan: Yeah, they have the capability, but they don't individually have the ability. Dean: Right. Dan: Yeah, and I don't think the percentage changes. Dean: Yeah, that's why this whole, that's why we're I think you know, the environment that we're creating in FreeZone is an ecosystem of people who are, who get this. Dan: Yeah, well, I don't think they, yeah, I don't think they became collaborative because they were in free zone. I think they were collaborative, looking for a better place to do it. Dean: Yes, yeah, it's almost like it's almost so, just with the technologies. Now, the one thing that has improved so much is the ability to seamlessly integrate with other people, with other collaborators. Dan: Yeah, now you're talking about the piano, you're not talking about the musicians, that's exactly right, but I think there really was something to that right. It's a good distinction. Dean: It's a really good distinction that you've created. Yeah, I should say yesterday at lunch you and I were talking about that I don't know that we've talked about it on the podcast here the difference, the distinction that we've discovered between capability and ability. And so I was looking at, in that, the capability column of the VCR formula, vision, capability, reach that in the capability column I was realizing the distinction between the base of something and the example that I gave was if you have a piano or a certain piece of equipment or a computer or a camera or whatever it is. We have a piano, you have the capability to be a concert pianist, but without the ability to do it. You know that. You're that that's the difference, and I think that everybody has access to the capabilities and who, not how, brings us in to contact with the who's right, who are masters at the capabilities? Dan: Yeah, you're talking about in. You know the sort of society that we live in. Yes, Because you know there's you know there's, you know easily, probably 15% of the world that doesn't have access to electricity. Dean: Yes exactly. Dan: I mean, they don't have the capability, you know, they just don't have yeah, yeah and yeah, it's a very, very unequal world, but I think there's a real breakthrough thinking that you're doing here. The fact that there's capability says nothing about an individual's ability. Dean: Right, that's exactly it. Yeah, and I think this is a very important idea, but I'm not going to write a book on it. Oh, my goodness, this is example, a right, I had the capability, with the idea of the capability and ability. Yeah, yeah, I didn't have the ability. Yeah, I've heard, do you know, the comedian Ron White? Dan: Yeah, I have the capability to write a book and I have the ability to write a book, but I'm not going to do either. Dean: So he talked about getting arrested outside of a bar and he said I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability that's pretty funny, right. But yeah, this is really like it's exciting. It's exciting times right now. I mean it really is exciting times to even projecting for the next, the next 30 years. I think I see that the through line, you know, is that you know that a brunch at the four seasons is going to be an appealing thing 30 years from now, as it is now and was 30 years ago, or three line stuff, or yeah, or some such hotel in toronto yes exactly right. Dan: Right, it may not be. Yeah, I think the four seasons, I think is pretty durable. And the reason is they don't own any of their property. Dean: You know and I think that's. Dan: They have 130 hotels now. I'm quite friendly with the general manager of the Nashville Four Seasons because we're there every quarter Four Seasons because we're there every quarter and you know it's difficult being one of their managers. I think because you have two bosses, you have the Four. Seasons organization but you also have the investor, who owns the property, and so they don't own any of their own property. That's all owned by investors. Dean: Right. Dan: Yeah. Dean: So go ahead. When was the previous? I know it's not the original, but when was the one on Yorkville here Yorkville and Avenue? When was that built? Was that in the 70s or the 60s? Dan: Well, it was a Hyatt. It was a Hyatt Hotel. Dean: Oh, it was, they took it over. Dan: Yeah, and it was a big jump for them and that was, you know, I think it was in the 60s, probably I don't know when they started exactly I'll have to look that up, but they were at a certain point they hit financial difficulties because there's been ups and downs in the economy and they overreach sometimes, and the big heavy load was the fact that they own the real estate. So they sold all the real estate and that bailed them out. Real estate and that bailed them out. And then from that point forward, they were just a system that you competed for. If you were deciding to build a luxury hotel, you had to compete to see if the Four Seasons would be interested in coming in and managing it. Okay, so they. It's a unique process. Basically, it's a unique process that they have. Dean: Yeah. Dan: It's got a huge brand value worldwide. You're a somebody as a city. If the Four Seasons come to your city, I think you're right. Ottawa used to have one. It doesn't have one now. Vancouver used to have one. It doesn't have one now. I think, calgary had one. Calgary doesn't Because now Vancouver used to have one, doesn't have one now I think Calgary had one. Calgary doesn't Because it was a Canadian hotel to start with. Dean: Yeah. Dan: And Belleville had one at one time. Dean: Oh, really yeah. Dan: I'm one of the few people who have stayed at the Belleville Four Seasons. Dean: Hotel the Belleville Four Seasons. Dan: Yeah, of all the people you know, dean dean, I may be the only person you know who stayed at the belleville four seasons now, what they did is they had a partnership with bell canada. Bell canada created the training center in belleville oh and uh, and they did a deal four seasons would go into it with them. So they took over a motel and they turned it into Four Seasons, so they used it as their training center. Okay, so you know, it was trainees serving trainees, as it turned out. Dean: I forget who I was talking to, but we were kind of saying it would be a really interesting experience to take over the top two floors of the hotel beside the Chicago Strategic Coach, there the Holiday Inn or whatever that is. Take over the top two floors and turn those into a because you've got enough traffic. That could be a neat experience, yeah. Dan: It wouldn't be us. Dean: Oh well, I need somebody. You know that could be a an interesting. I think if that was an option there would be. Dan: Probably work better for us to have a floor of one of the hotels. Dean: That's what I meant. Yeah, a floor of the the top two floors of the hotel there to get. Yeah, there's two of them. That's what I meant. Yeah, a floor of the top two floors of the hotel there to get. Dan: Yeah, there's two of them. There's two of them. Dean: Oh, yeah, yeah. Dan: There's the Sheraton, and what's Sinesta? Sinesta, right the. Dean: Sinesta is the one I'm thinking of. Dan: That's the closest one right, the one Scott Harry carries in the Right, right right. There you carries in them, right, yeah, well, it's an interesting, but it is what it is and we're, yeah, but we have almost one whole floor now and I mean those are that's a big building. It's got really a lot of square footage in the building. That's what. Is it cb re? Is it cb? You do know the nationwide. Dean: Oh yeah. Dan: Coldwood Banker. Oh yeah, yeah, coldwood Banker, that's who our landlord is. And they're good they're actually good, but they've gone through about three owners since we've been there. We've been there, 25 years, 26. This is our 26th year. Yeah, and generally speaking they've been good landlords that we've had. Yeah, it's well kept up. They have instant response when you have a maintenance problem and everything. I think they're really good. Dean: Yeah, well, I'm going to have to come and see it. Maybe when the fall happens, maybe between the good months, the fall or something, I might come and take a look. Dan: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dean: Well, I'm excited and take a look yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Well. Dan: I've been there. Yeah, we have our workshop. We have our workshop tomorrow here and then we go to Chicago and we have another one on Thursday and then the second Chicago workshop for the quarter is in the first week of April. Oh, wow, yeah, yeah, and this is working out. We'll probably be a year away, maybe a year and a half away, from having a fourth date during the quarter. Oh, wow. Dean: Yeah. Dan: Do we? Dean: have any new people for FreeZone Small? Dan: Don't know Okay. Dean: No one is back. Dan: Yeah, yeah, I don't really know, I don't really know, I think we added 30 last year or so it's. The numbers are going up. Yes, that's great. Yeah, I think we're about 120 total right now. That's awesome. That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, it's fun, though. It's nice people. Dean: Yeah, it's nice to see it all. It's nice to see it all growing. Very cool, all right well, enjoy yourself. Yes, you too and I will see you. Tonight at five. That's right, all right, I'll be there. Dan: Thanks Dan. Dean: Okay.

Description: On this episode of The Nonsense Podcast, we kick things off with the hardest "One's Got to Go" ever, featuring Martin, The Boondocks, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and The Chappelle Show. Henvincible struggles with the impossible choice, while FNBob picks way too fast. Then, we keep the post-St. Patrick's Day vibes going, as FNBob talks about taking a well-deserved day off, celebrating his anniversary with Kelly, and absolutely outdressing everyone. From there, food debates kick off as Henvincible defends Shepherd's Pie, and the battle over sweet potatoes gets heated. Then, we dive into wild world news—including the high school relay race fiasco, Trump's tariffs, and a breakdown of the US-Ukraine meeting that nobody else seems to be explaining. Finally, FNBob goes on an all-time rant about why he'll never fly Southwest again and why the Hyatt Hotels are now banned in his book. Buckle up, this one's a ride. Episode Highlights:

On this episode, we recap our favorite hotel stays from 2024, with picks that are great for international and domestic travel for couples, friends, or family trips. Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht - part of Hyatt Hotels, this hotel has a fabulous location on one of the main canals in a great area. The staff was helpful and the room was stylish. The only thing to keep in mind is that it has an open bathroom concept, so it wouldn't be great for families or two friends sharing a room. This is a good option for those who travel with points. Chase is a transfer partner with Hyatt. Tamara visited this hotel in January on her weekend getaway to Amsterdam. Exeter Hotel Reykjavik - this hotel also has an open bathroom format. The location is about a 10-minute walk from the main shopping and sightseeing district. The room rate also included free breakfast and there was a passcode-locked gate for storing luggage. Kim stayed here with her daughter before their Windstar Cruise. Weston Inn Vermont - this is a nice luxury inn in Southern Vermont with top-notch service, a great restaurant, nicely appointed rooms, a spa and fitness center with fantastic yoga classes. This is a perfect romantic getaway. Read Tamara's full review. Inn at Laurel Point, Victoria - Kim talked about this hotel on a recent episode about Victoria, BC. It is located right on the waterfront just a short walk from downtown. They have spacious rooms, nice L'Occitane bath products, soaker tubs, and a fabulous cafe and full-service restaurant on site. Sandestin Hilton, Florida - located along 30A near Destin, Florida, this area has gorgeous white sand beaches and calm water. This is a great hotel for families because one of the towers has 300 rooms that have bunk beds. It is easy to have a family of five in one room and not feel cramped. Read Tamara's full Sandestin Hilton review. White House Hotel, Istanbul - had rooms with three twin beds, making it a great choice for a friend trip to Istanbul. The price was extremely reasonable and it is in the Sultanahmet neighborhood near all the main attractions. Hagia Sofia Mansions, Istanbul - this is a Curio Collection by Hilton Hotel, also in the Sultanahmet neighborhood and it was beautiful. The rooms are spread across multiple buildings and the rooms feel very luxurious. There are two restaurants and the breakfast has so much food. Park Hyatt Istanbul - Macka Palas - the hotel room was fabulous but it is located in a high-end shopping district, which may mean you spend more on cabs getting around the city. Avantgarde Refined Urgup - Cappadocia is a region of towns and this hotel is in the up-and-coming town of Urgup. This is a newly-opened, cave-style hotel with excellent service and food. Meneghetti Wine Hotel, Croatia - this is Tamara's favorite hotel of the year. They stayed in a one-bedroom residence that had a living room, 1.5 baths, loft bedroom, with a private backyard and patio. The hotel is located on a wine estate and has multiple restaurants, two pools, a beach club, spa, and more. Read about Tamara's couples trip to Croatia.

In this episode of the Suite Spot, the head of marketing at Springboard Hospitality, Jason Pirock sits down with podcast host, Ryan Embree, to discuss the incredible Springboard Hospitality brand, exciting hotel developments, social media strategies, and much more.  Tune in now to learn more about what makes the Springboard Hospitality brand one-of-a-kind. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check-in, and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embee. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, as always, Ryan Embree continuing our TMG Hospitality Trailblazers series. We've done quite a few of this, but if this is your first time hearing it to set up the series, this is all about those individuals, brands, management companies, all paving a way forward for our hospitality industry. Trailblazing a path, and we have a great guest with me. It's certainly an embodiment of a TMG hospitality Trailblazer, Jason Pirock, head of marketing at Springboard Hospitality. Jason, thank you so much for taking the time. Jason Pirock: Yeah, thank you for having me. Ryan Embree: Now, I asked this on every single Trailblazer episode. Always get a different answer. But since this is your first time being on the Suite Spot, we love to hear stories about how you made it into hospitality. Sometimes we just fall into it as a career. Sometimes we went to school for it. What was the hospitality journey that led you to Springboard Hospitality? Jason Pirock: Yeah, absolutely. So I probably have more of a non-traditional background when it comes to hospitality here. A lot of folks have sort of been in the industry for their entire career for a very long time. I actually started my career in retail coming out of college. I was recruited to work for Target Corporate in Minneapolis. And so I started off in merchandising there actually merchandise presentation, which was at the time their entry level marketing. They didn't really have an easy way to get into the actual marketing department, but that was the closest point. And then spent some time with Target and moved into marketing and then found my way through a, a few other companies throughout the years, Sears Corporate. I worked for a company called Brookfield Retail, formerly, uh, General Growth Properties. And then I had sort of a reflection point in my career where as much as I was having fun with retail and liked it that's all I knew. And that's all I had done. And I knew that I was super passionate about travel, I loved hotels, all aspects about it. The experience, the design just always gave me such a great feeling. And so I thought, I wanna try out hospitality, I wanna move into that space. And I was very fortunate to find an opportunity with Hyatt Hotels, their corporate office out of Chicago. And so spent some time there, then moved over to a company called a Perim Hotel Group and helped them build their marketing department and marketing team. And that actually is part of what led me to Springboard. Springboard was looking to sort of revolutionize their, their marketing department, really rebuild it, take it to the next level. And they found me as someone who had, had done that with Perim. And so here I am today. Ryan Embree: Yeah. And let's talk about that role that you have of head of marketing, this being a digital marketing podcast, I'm sure there's a lot of hotel marketers that are just getting started in their career. Talk to us a little bit about your role as head of marketing and really the story as marketers. We love telling stories, right? Of Springboard Hospitality. Jason Pirock: Yeah. Well, I'll start with with Springboard Hospitality. We own, operate, and develop hotels, restaurants, and bars all around the country. We've got about 50 hotels in 14 states, and we're predominantly in destinations, sort of urban environments as well. And we're truly across the whole U.S.

That's why they're all number one. One of them is, Everything Communicates and that's one of the things that communicates. I'll tell you kind of the converse of the story...19:00 – Well, so we need to be strategic absolutely about communication, because, you know, how many times have you been there whether you're in communications or not. You're at work and somebody comes to you and says, oh, you know, we need to send out an email about XYZ. People's minds, especially when it goes to communication, a lot of times just go to the tactic, we need an email, we need a meeting, we need a town hall, we need a video. 23:25 - Tell them a story! That's my third number one rule of communication, is to tell them a story. Why is that? Go back to caveman drawings. That's just the natural way for humans to communicate and to relate to one another and to move one another, to action. Frankly, it's not that tough, because there's a very simple structure. 29:20 – Regarding the e-Learning we've got, it's all about the video success. So you got the visual and the audio, but then we also have little exercises that reinforce a lot of the points that we talked about in the videos. Then we also added in each of the courses, we have these downloadable tools and templates that you can take and keep. If you want you want to go old school, you print it out and you stick it up next to your desk and you can consult it regularly. One of the things I've got is on the corporate narrative course in there, but it is the storytelling template that I...

Back in the early 1900s, the Chicago mafia was known as “The Outfit”, and their frontman was a Harvard-educated lawyer named Abe Pritzker, a man once described as the “clean face of a dirty business”. Out of this situation, Abe Pritzker was able to build a massive empire of businesses, and from there his family built upon his foundation over the next century to create a fortune exceeding $33 billion. These days the Pritzker family is responsible for financing the Rainbow Mafia & Trans Agenda, Barack Obama's rise to power, the Diversity Equity Inclusion push, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and other agendas designed to subvert America from within. From owning the Hyatt Hotel brand & Royal Caribbean cruise line to the TransUnion credit reporting agency & Marmon Group, the Pritzker family runs Chicago and has installed one of their own as governor of the state of Illinois, but there are now some rather obvious cracks in the foundation.

Thank you. Ryan Embree: We're excited to be here, Charles, we're gonna cover a lot past, present, and future today, but let's start in the past. You know, this is a new guest. You're the first of the year. We work in this industry where this is, people come from all walks of life and how, and how we get into hospitality. We're gonna talk about one of those tracks with hospitality schools a little bit later. But tell us a little bit about your background, Charles, and the journey that led you to Aperture Hotels. Charles Oswald: It's been a long, it's been a long story for sure, but, you know, I began in hospitality when I was in high school. I was a cook in freestanding restaurants, and I did that on through, uh, through college. Then moved into, uh, you know, in convention services at Hyatt. And that began my food and beverage career at some award-winning Hyatt Hotels. You know, they transferred me from, from Tampa then to Dallas, where we grew with a lot of responsibilities. And, uh, that was in the early nineties to mid nineties. Uh, and then I went on to become an, an a, uh, assistant general manager and general manager of some award-winning full service Holiday Inns, Marriots some Hilton Properties through the late nineties and early s before ultimately becoming a vice president of operations, uh, with an up and coming sophisticated private equity firm, noble Investment Group. And I would say really learned a lot there about the PE side, the investment side, uh, proper asset management and so on. And that's really what groomed me for, uh, for my next role when, um, when Noble Investment Group sold their management company into interstate hotels and resorts. Uh, at that time, you know, the predecessor to Abridge that we know today was the largest, uh, hotel management company. That was an opportunity through that transition to step out and become a partner and CEO in my own company, uh, with HP Hotels. So I ran, uh, HP Hotels for eight years through 2019. Grew that portfolio to just shy of 50 properties. Then I transitioned into an investor role through the pandemic period planned to invest in hotels, but we know how hotels were through the Pandemic. So I had to pivot, stepped into some other industries, including managing investments for, uh, you know, some retail office development, had a charter yacht business, and several other interesting deals associated with commercial real estate. Uh,

I'm your host, Austin Adams, and today's journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster through the corridors of hidden truths and uncovered secrets.

Was it merely a scuffle between youths, or something far more mysterious and ancient? We delve into the enigmatic world of the Nephilim, the legendary giants of biblical lore, and explore the intriguing passages and contemporary discussions about these colossal figures.

My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we're going to be discussing the two single craziest events that have kicked off our 2024  year.  The first one being that Epstein's documents, I think it was over 10, 000 pages of legal documents were just dropped  over four different days. Listing off the names of several, several people, almost all of them. We've talked about here. I've done, you know, more than a year ago, I did a serious deep dive into all the Epstein documents, the flight logs, the black book. I posted it all. It's on my sub stack. You can go find it right now,  but there's some things  that I don't think that we knew yet that came out about this, not that much though. There was a few names. There was a few.  Really  scathing words that came out, some about Bill Clinton, some about Stephen Hawking, hmm,  some really interesting stuff. So we're going to dive into all of that. What were the most notable things that were discussed about this? Who were the five most important or powerful people that were on this list? And then.  We'll go through the list in its entirety of the names, and I'll see how fast I can do it for you, because it was a lot.  After that, we're going to jump into another topic, which was that there was a bunch of, a bigger police presence than you've seen at every school shooting, at every  Black Lives Matter protest riot, at every January 6th, combined, at a single shopping mall. And apparently it was because these kids were having fights with sticks and fireworks.  Four children, four kids having  you know, violent acts with sticks.  But some people are saying that wasn't the actual reason why. Some people are saying that there was eight to ten foot tall beings that were attacking people. Now it's kind of a weird situation because there wasn't very much video evidence that came from the ground and there wasn't very many people talking about what happened on the inside. You know, today,  you have a Karen going off on a manager at Wendy's and there's always going to be a video of it. But we don't have any video footage of this. So it's pretty weird. But some people, which would lead us to our deep dive for today, have said that they believed this to be the Nephilim.  If you don't know what the Nephilim is, that is the ancient biblical beings that are said to be extremely large individuals. And we will dive into a whole deep dive of what those beings were the passages from the ancient and biblical texts that they were mentioned in. And  Some more recent discussions around them from even Tucker Carlson potentially alluding to these beings. So all of that and more, make sure you stick around, subscribe, leave a five star review, head over there, do it right now. If it's your first time listening, I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. If it's your second time listening and you're still not subscribed, come on,  go ahead and hit that button.

You can actually watch the video. See my beautiful face talking about all these things. See me actually pull up the articles right alongside me here.  Here  when I'm talking about those and watch the video clips with me and to see my real reactions So head over to YouTube the Adams archive find the channel there and I'll see you there All right, all of that more buff and  not but first that's what I got for you. Let's jump into it   The Adams archive.   Alright, so the very first topic that we're going to discuss today is going to be that there was the single largest document release regarding Epstein.  It happened over four days. And it, To me, this wasn't a huge deal. What I like about it is the fact that it brought attention back to the Epstein situation. Now, some people are arguing one way or the other, whether that's a good thing, whether it's a distraction from other things that are going on, whether it's an attempt to heighten the tensions of 2024 already leading up to the election cycle.  I don't know.  I think that it's probably  just.  a situation where there was a legal  court  judge that decided they were going to release these documents and then it just reignited the whole Epstein situation. I think that's probably the most likely situations here. I don't think it's a huge distraction. I don't think that these people want to throw everybody under the bus. But what I do know is that almost everybody who was on this list was already, Named  we already knew these names.  We already knew about Prince Andrew. We already knew about Bill Clinton. We already knew about Kevin Spacey We are the new even Stephen Hawking. We already knew these names, right? This isn't very much of this was already out there now. There were some details and some Snippets that have gone viral that have had more of an emphasis on them as a result of these documents But I don't think that it was anything earth shattering.  So the first thing I want to do for you here I want to list the  Let's see, let me pull it up for you here.  I want to list the 90 names.  I want to list the 90 names that were on the Epstein list. In as quick as fashion as possible for you. So the 90 names in 90 seconds that were on  Epstein's list for you, and I'll speak fast, so try and keep up. But I just want to throw all these names out for you, because everybody's like, Where's the list? Where's the list? Where's the list? I don't see a list. I just see documents. Well, here you go. Here is the 90 names that were listed in 90 seconds. You can time me. I'm not exactly sure. Let's see. All right. We're at 2 minutes and 16 seconds. 2 minutes and 20 seconds. We'll begin.  Glenn Maxwell, Virginia Lee, Roberts, Garuff, Kathy Alexander. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let's go back.  Seeing that Virginia Garuff's name is on this list, I do want you to know that this list is not just the perpetrators. This list was, and this came out, there was like 170 names. It's like, no, this list is not just the names of the people that were the perpetrators. This list, Virginia Garuff is the one who's  legal case is the reason that this came out, and that's probably why she's number two on here behind Ghislaine Maxwell because it was Virginia Groff's legal case against Ghislaine Maxwell.  So, now that I've preempted that here, I will point out to you within this list some of the names that maybe were a little bit newer, but were always A part of this conversation we've been having for a while.  So here we go.  Ghislaine Maxwell. Virginia Garoff. Kathy Alexander. Miles Alexander. James Michael Ostrich. Philip Barton. Redacted. Number seven. Kate Blanchett. David Boyce. Laura Booth. Evelyn Boulette. Rebecca Boylan. Josh Brunner. Naomi Campbell. Carolyn Casey. Paul Cassell. Sharon Churcher. Bill Clinton, David Copperfield, Alexandra Cousteau, Cameron Diaz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Alan Dershowitz, Mr. Mona Deveson, Redacted, Bradley Edwards, Amanda Allison, Kimberly Espinoza, Jeffrey Epstein, Ann Farmer, Marie Farmer, Alexander Fakai, Crystal Figueroa, Anthony Figueroa, Luis Ferra,  Eric Ganney, Meg Garvin, Sheridan Gibson Butt.  Robert Garoff, Al Gore, Ross Bowe, Fred Graff, Philip Grudegren,  redacted. Shannon Harrison, Stephen Hawking, Virginia Hair, Victoria Hazel, Brittany Henderson, Brett Jeff, Michael Jackson,  Carol Roberts, Cass, Dr. Karen Kutikoff, Peter Listerman, George Lucas, Tony Lyons, Bob Meister, Jamie Melanson, Lynn Miller, Marvin Minsky, redacted.

Daniel Wilson. Andrew Albert, Christians Edwards, duke of York.  There you go. There's your 90 names.  Now again, this is not the client list, right? This is a list of individuals.  That were a part of the documents in general, okay? So some of those people could have been victims, some of those people could have been listed for other reasons.  But, we know some of those names, not even all of those names are the ones that are, you know, have been brought up in the past. There's some really wild ones that have been brought up too. However, I would like to note that there were some ones that stuck out to me. David Copperfield was one that I don't remember exactly  discussing surrounding this  and he's been a big conversation starter around this. Another one is Al Gore. I don't remember Al Gore being another part of this,  before  from before the conversation.  And then another one is who has actually spoken out now is Cameron Diaz has come out to speak out against her name being on the list. Cameron Diaz came out and said that she has had never had any association whatsoever with Jeffrey Epstein. Well, my question would be where did her name come up on these documents, which I guess we could probably look a little bit further to see the actual legal documentation that has been brought up.  But  that's a we could dive into that in just a second here. So there are the 90 names of the individuals. Now let's see if there's anybody who commented on this.  Let's go ahead and see.  Somebody said these names were taken from transcripts of evidence given during Maxwell's trial. Being named means nothing without context, and even with context, the only thing it might spark is a police investigation into a name which is associated with a given incident or set of behaviors.  Alright.  I just saw the greatest thing about Stephen Hawking and I'm going to hold on to that because we're going to talk about Stephen Hawking in depth in just a minute. So I'm going to hold on to that one. So let's let's segue into this.  Okay. Now, another thing that's happened more recently is I believe his name is Andrew. Andrew Epstein has come out and did an interview with Tucker Carlson. going Let me see if I can pull that up. Andrew Epstein being the brother of Jeffrey Epstein said that he no longer believes that Jeffrey Epstein  committed suicide.  And so let's see if we can pull this up. Jeff, Andrew Epstein,  Tucker Carlson.  All right.  And so the reason that this is substantial is because Andrew Epstein is the only family that Jeffrey Epstein has. He's the only person that they should have been contacting as a result of this.  Now maybe I got Mark Epstein. There we go. Mark Epstein is the name  Not Andrew. Maybe I was thinking Prince Andrew for other reasons involved with Jeffrey Epstein, but I digress So let's go to the Tucker Carlson dot com to the Tucker Carlson Network  and read this it says  oh you did a whole episode with him  where he had a discussion with his brother Which I'm sure would be very interesting. So if you want to watch that head over to Tucker Carlson dot  but it's 26 minutes and I'm not going to  drag you through all of that. So that was the situation is that Andrew or Andrew again, Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Bruce brother did a interview with, with Tucker Carlson and said that he no longer believes that his brother, Jeffrey was. The person was attempted suicide or committed suicide. He believes that there's something more nefarious about the situation, like everybody else in the world, to be fair.  There's a fair amount of people who too believe, I believe it was even Megyn Kelly came out just the last few days and said that we would be hearing from Jeffrey, she's, so to pre, what she said is that  We're going to be hearing a lot more about Jeffrey Epstein, Megyn Kelly said. We're going to be hearing not only a lot more about him or his case or the situation, but we're actually going to be hearing from Jeffrey Epstein himself.  This year said Megyn Kelly now, I'm not sure what that means to me That means that he's alive and well and is willing to speak out or at least maybe there's some files or videos That he has that were maybe some sort of  I don't know lost videotapes of him speaking about this Honeypot situation, and I think that's a deeper conversation that we should get into now is it seems to be somewhat of a misconception for people who haven't been following this for for as long as I have been in depth. I followed day by day, word by word. The Glenn Maxwell trials even prior to that with Jeffrey Epstein. Went into the black book. I have it on my sub stack. Austin Adams dot sub stack. com. You can go in there, go back through the files and find the black book  for Jeffrey Epstein, where it has the names and phone numbers of all of his associates, every known contact that he had in this book  with their phone numbers. Okay. But anyways, there's a lot of people who are. being privy to this situation now, who maybe weren't before, who don't understand the background. I mean, there's a lot of people who were following this this whole time who maybe just thought, Oh, it's just a bunch of elite pedophiles who are sick individuals and, and they just have a,  a  proclivity to underage individuals and they're just disgusting pedophiles. And, and yes, you would be correct. But also the reason that the, the, the, it goes much deeper than that.  Jeffrey Epstein, and I'll give you the synopsis fairly quickly, Jeffrey Epstein was with Ghislaine Maxwell, okay? Now Jeffrey Epstein, the financier, but very little people know where he got his money from, or his funding, to be a financier, right? And so, the speculation is that, in the correlation, the connections here, is that Jeffrey Epstein with Ghislaine Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell's dad, was an agent of the Mossad.  And the Mossad is the CIA of Israel, essentially,  and they're well known as the single most  the, the, the single most powerful and capable intelligence agency in the world, even more than the CIA, which should concern you in and of itself,  but the ties between Ghislaine Maxwell and The Mossad cannot be ignored. Her father  was an agent of the Mossad. Which leads me to believe that there's some connection here. Although, in, in, background piece for her father is that her father actually got pushed off of a yacht and murdered.  It was called an accident, I guess, so I can't say it was murdered, but the official thing is that it was an accident. But he fell off of a yacht and died, and that was the way that he died, which is a super mysterious, weird way to die.  Especially for such a high profile, high net worth individual.  Especially one associated with a foreign entity's intelligence community. You know, but I digress. So the situation is that the ties between Jeffrey Epstein and the Mossad cannot be ignored.  So you take that to its extent, and what people have realized now, and what we actually know from these documents that came out now, is that not only  Was Jeffrey Epstein tied to Mossad, but there was court documents stating blatantly that this was a black male scheme  to get Hollywood elites to get powerful politicians to get people within the highest levels of science and education  to  go and partake in these horrific activities  and then to have  The video evidence of them doing so, so that it could be used against them at will by foreign entities. Now, whether it's just the Mossad, which is what I believe,  or whether it goes further than that, which it very well may, because now we know that the CIA allegedly found all of these videotapes, and then they all went mysteriously missing. All the videotapes that they found, all the blackmail evidence, all of the VHS tapes of these horrific acts happening by these famous elite individuals suddenly went missing. How weird is that?  You know, after it had been raided by the CIA, I believe.  So  this is much deeper than just some guy with lots of money feeding elites, what they're looking for. This is, this is a high level intelligence agency act by a foreign entity being the Mossad of Israel,  the same Israel. Now this is, this is what should infuriate you more than almost anything about the Epstein situation is that you are funding.  What happened on Epstein Island? Did you know that  you are funding what happened on Jeffrey Epstein's Island,  because the individuals who are behind Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Maxwell's father was the Mossad, the intelligence community behind Israel  and the Mossad  had.  All of this blackmail done on all of the most powerful people in the world so that they could control your reality from the movies that you watch to the universities that you go to, to the scientific journals that you probably don't read,  to the politicians who make the decisions on whether or not where our tax dollars go, the laws that are passed.  Who is, who is,  who is allowed to walk free through presidential you know, signatures.  All of that is being decided through blackmail. Through these honeypot schemes. And a honeypot scheme is basically where you send somebody who's extremely attractive to somebody who's in a position of power. And then you blackmail them by finding some video, photo, text message evidence of them doing something that they shouldn't be doing.  It's a well known tactic.  And it was executed perfectly. By an organization that you are funding. We are currently sending tax dollars to Israel.  Israel's intelligence agency  is the Mossad.  So you're telling me that our tax dollars were going to fund the very organization that was conducting these types of blackmail,  these types of blackmail on elites on Jeffrey Epstein's Island.  Yes, yes, that is what I'm telling you.  And if that doesn't disgust you,  you should get your head checked.  So,  that's a weird realization to me, right?  However, let's move on here, because there's some big names that we can discuss surrounding this, and I could go on and on and on about this honeypot scheme, but I, I, I believe That's exactly what happened. I still don't, I'm still not convinced, I should say.  I'm still not convinced,  that Jeffrey Epstein's dead.  I'm not. You can't convince me of that because there's no evidence.  Just the same way that they brought in, if you go back to the JFK files.  When JFK died, they brought in their own autopsy officials, they kicked everybody else out of the room, they brought in their own autopsy officials, and had their own private autopsy done with nobody around.  And it was funded by the very same organization  who's allegedly the ones who conducted the assassination.  Now, would you imagine  that in a situation where Jeffrey Epstein  In cahoots with these intelligence organizations that those very organizations were able to sneak him out the back door and put a body in a room and then sneak in an autopsy official to write the death certificate and say that it was Jeffrey Epstein. Oh, and by the way, it was also a suicide. Oh, and by the way.  These cameras that are literally everywhere in this jail  just just weren't working. Oh, and by the way, the security footage and the security guards that were supposed to be on on duty at the time fell asleep and they didn't even sign the documents that they were supposed to sign at the time that they were supposed to be there.  That's interesting.  Very interesting.  So, I'm not convinced that he's dead. There's been footage that has circulated about somebody who looked like him, but it looked like it was filmed on a potato, so I don't believe that may have, you know, could have, could have not been him. I believe it was actually footage from the island that was released more recently.  So,  let's look at some of these names that came up here, now that you understand a little bit of the background of what this was, and why nobody's being prosecuted. Well, nobody's being prosecuted because it was probably At the very least  and generously to say the word entrapment because these people you could never get anybody that I know to do these types of things. You never get me to do these types of things. So I don't think entrapment is the right word, but I think that they're afraid that if they would actually go after anybody that was on Epstein's list, if they went after anybody that was on Epstein's list, it would come full circle back around that the ones actually behind Epstein were the very intelligence agencies that our tax dollars are going to fund, whether it be the CIA or the Mossad.  That's all I'm saying.  All right. So here are the top five individuals. The top, not the top five, but the top five most powerful individuals that were on the most recent Epstein documents, starting with number five,  Alan Dershowitz,  a constitutional law professor at Harvard law school and one time impeachment lawyer for former president Donald Trump. Alan Dershowitz is well known in media circles, unsealed documents linked to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. According to a 2014 court filing in the U. S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, Epstein instructed Jane Doe No. 3 to have sexual relations with Dershowitz on numerous occasions while she was a minor, not only in Florida, but also on private planes in New York, New Mexico, and the U. S. Virgin Islands. In addition to being a participant in the abuse of Jane Doe No. 3 and other minors, Let me share this with you if you're on YouTube with me, so you can actually see what I'm looking at here.  This article comes from  the Christian Post. All right? Tuesday, January 4th. So, it says that in addition to being a participant in the abuse of Jane Doe and other minors, Dershowitz was an eyewitness to other sexual abuse of many other minors by Epstein and several Epstein co conspirators, the court file alleges.  The filing also claims Dershowitz helped negotiate an agreement that provided immunity from federal prosecution in the Southern District of Florida, not only to Epstein, but also any potential co conspirators of Epstein, including himself. Now, this is one of the most egregious things about this ever about Epstein is that Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer,  and  if we go back, the former lawyer of  the impeachment lawyer for President Donald Trump.  was involved in getting immunity  for every one of the co conspirators in the state of Florida and Properly executed this and they tried to hide the evidence of this  This deal completely they tried to make sure that nobody knew that Epstein's co conspirators Would be getting off under the name of under the guidance of Alan Dershowitz.  So thus Dershowitz helped negotiate  An agreement with a provision that provided protection for himself against criminal prosecution in Florida for sexually abusing Jane Doe number three. Now this wasn't.  Outright said within the time because he just said anybody any of his co conspirators was what he negotiated this this Agreement,  but he was included in that little did they know which seems like a conflict of interest Dershowitz in a YouTube live stream following the release of the Epstein files acknowledged flying on the Lolita Express in his presence on the Epstein list. Of course, I'm on that list. I was his lawyer I flew on his plane said Dershowitz. I had an innocent relationship with a man who I didn't know  Nobody suspected had done anything wrong.  Yeah.  Okay. Dershowitz.  All right, number four  is this list pulls up here  Number four is going to be  none other  than,  dun dun dun,  come on load the Christian post.  Wow, that's brutal. You'd think I would internet from a,  third world country. Bill Richardson.  So number four on this list is Bill Richardson. Former U. S. Congressman, Ambassador, Secretary of Energy, and New Mexico Governor, Bill Richardson is among the names referenced in the newly listed documents. To Epstein. In a deposition taken May 3rd, 2016, Epstein's accuser, Virginia Garuff, claimed that she was instructed by Epstein's associate and sex trafficker, Julianne Maxwell, to give a massage to Richardson during a trip to Epstein Ranch. In New Mexico, when asked whether she met Richardson, gruff said, I want to say that he went, he was supposed to come over for dinner when we were in New Mexico. I don't know if I met him. I believe that he and Ghislaine had dinner separate from myself. Gruff also said that Maxwell personally instructed her to give massage to Bill Richardson Richardson, the chair of the 2004 Democratic National Convention was also n nominated. For the Nobel peace prize in 2019 for his work in North Korea's nuclear crisis. He died in September of 2023 in August, 2019 Bloomberg reported. Richardson denied ever meeting Garuff called the allegations completely false.  Wow. He died in 2003.  How  could you ever  imagine somebody randomly dying? That was a part of Epstein's situation?  How weird is that?  Now, I don't know much about Bill Richardson, but I do know that they said he was the chair of the Democratic National Committee?  Hmm,  that seems fitting.  Now another thing that people have talked about, and I believe the name's on this list here, so instead of waiting, I'll just tell you.  Some of the most notable things that people would see in the headlines when you saw Jeffrey Epstein's list here is Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.  And if you watched MSNBC, you would have noticed that Donald Trump's name was actually listed eight times  alongside the January 6th insurrection three times within the MSNBC coverage of  the  Jeffrey Epstein documents.  Now the other person's name that I listed was Bill Clinton, which is another one of the two individuals that's listed on this list here. So let's talk about those two individuals while everything else is pulling up here. But one thing that I'd say about the difference between the way that Trump is portrayed within these documents, and the difference between the way that Bill Clinton is portrayed in these documents, and, and this will just tell you everything that you need to know about MSNBC and their reporting, is that when they reported Donald Trump's name eight times and Bill Clinton's name zero times. What they failed to mention was the fact that Donald Trump was essentially exonerated from all wrongdoing within these documents. Now, that's not to say that there won't be more documentation that comes out. That's not to say that Donald Trump is completely innocent because we don't know that.  But that is to say that as far as the evidence is concerned today regarding Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump has done no wrongdoing according to the individuals that have been interviewed at this time.  So that's the first thing that. They failed to mention was the fact that every mention of Donald Trump's name within the Jeffrey Epstein documents stated that no, he never participated in any of these underage activities. Now again, I still think there's some element of guilty by association,  that should be applied here. That, that, that,  I'm just highly skeptical of anybody.  Who is around Jeffrey Epstein at any time and immediately calling them innocent I just I still think that there's a lot to be that that will come out  Especially if you listen to Megyn Kelly, I still think that there's going to be a fair amount of more trials that go on as a result of this But I do think that when you look at the evidence so far it shows that Donald Trump  Did no wrongdoing here.  And it shows that Bill Clinton word for word, Bill Clinton within the documents of Jeffrey Epstein's released documents recently states that Bill Clinton, according to the individual that was interviewed.  He likes his girls young. That was the word for word conversation that was had from the legal documents. Under oath, somebody said, not only does he participate with people who are under 18, illegal pedophilia, but also he likes them young, which to me in the context of this situation tells you that he likes them even younger than 18,  younger, younger, younger. Right?  Now, we also know,  well, and we'll get to that in a second, but that to me is the most egregious thing that we saw when it came to the reporting of this is Donald Trump's name was plastered everywhere about this. Bill Clinton's name was alongside it. Bill Clinton, two former presidents on Jeffrey Epstein's  list  of perpetrators.  Well, no,  one former president  and one,  one vice president would be accurate to say  was not in any way, shape, or form shown to have committed any wrongdoing. And I'll be the first person to call him out when there's evidence to show otherwise. I've posted pictures about him in the past next to Jeffrey Epstein. I'm completely transparent. I have no skin in the game. I will absolutely, 100%, be the first person to call out Donald Trump when we see evidence that he was a part of this. Because we've seen so far, there is very clear evidence.  I believe Bill Clinton's name was mentioned 157 times throughout the documents.  Specifically saying, in one instance, that he likes his girls young.  Ew.  Now, let's go to the third  most powerful person, because now we know who number two and number one are, so I'm sorry for  Going back and forth on ya, but one that surprised me a little bit that I didn't see, at least I didn't dive into enough, and I haven't seen evidence of before, so let's read about this now. Says, Climate alarmist and former vice president Al Gore is mentioned in nearly 1, 000 pages of court filings and other documents linked to Epstein. While Gore was not identified as one of the Epstein's alleged clients, the former vice president was named in May 2016 deposition by alleged Epstein victim Johanna Schoenberg, who denied ever meeting Gore. Or seeing him or his wife, Tipper Gore, on Epstein's private island in Little St. James.  In a separate filing on April 2016, Gore was named as a part of a list of documents requested by attorneys for Maxwell in a civil defamation lawsuit. The filing concludes an objection from lawyers from Epstein's accuser, Gruff, in response to a request by Maxwell's attorneys to turn over all photographs or video containing any image. Of you and Gore, along with several other individuals, including Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Stephen Hawking.  In the court filings, Gore is not accused of any wrongdoing or illegal activity. Okay, so again, why are we talking about these people? Right, this is what you have to be careful with, with these documents, is that we can't just immediately say that they're guilty and they're this type of person. Right, because I hadn't read this yet, and I didn't know. Al Gore was not accused of any wrongdoing. Now again, there is some essence, just for Trump, as there is here for Al Gore, of guilty by association to me. I don't believe that I've been friends with any high level blackmailing pedophiles before.  I've never flown to any suspicious islands. With children's toys where they shouldn't be,  and I've never been in a situation where my name was listed in Jeffrey Epstein's documents,  so  it's a little hazy,  but let's go ahead  and let's just see  where this takes us  with Bill Clinton's name. As that loads, let's go back to our next document. All right, so I'll take you through some of the actual documents that were discussed here and the word for word conversations that were had surrounding some of these individuals. All right, so  again, I think That you have to be careful when you're looking at these because some of the names on these lists  were Individuals who were not being accused of anything specific  But  let's look at the actual documentation here. And this is from a Substack article Oh,  and by the way, another really  famous individual that was on Jeffrey Epstein's documentation and lists here was the former prime minister of Israel. Oh.  So you mean to tell me the very association that Ghislaine Maxwell's father worked for,  you know, the Mossad and the person that they worked for there, the prime minister of Israel, went and visited Jeffrey Epstein at his New York town home.  That's weird.  And when he did it, he covered his face with a scarf. Even there's pictures out there of him covering his face with a scarf.  All right. So let's go through some of this documentation here  from the list.  And one of the names that shocked me the most.  But we'll get to him in just a minute.  But you can walk around, walk around, you can actually walk through these documents with me.  If you're on YouTube, again, go to YouTube, type in the Adams Archive, and you can subscribe there. All right, so here we go.  This portion, the top portion is going to be around prints. Andrew. So it says new details on the allegations against Prince Andrew have not also surfaced. Miss, and I'm just not going to be saying names of victims from here on out, that was silly to begin with, also testified that she met Prince Andrew in Virginia Corrath when she was 17 years old in New York City, along with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Here is her testimony. And do you recall who, if anyone,  was at Jeffrey Epstein's home when you arrived? Yes. When I first walked in the door, it was myself, Ghislaine, headed for the staircase and said,  Told me to come up to the living room and what happened at that point when you came up to the living room? I came up and saw Virginia, Jeffrey, Prince Andrew, Ghislaine, in the room. And did you meet Prince Andrew at the time? Yes. At Epstein's New York home was a Prince Andrew puppet, apparently from a BBC production. Weird. Maxwell brought it down for Prince Andrew and either Maxwell or Epstein took a scandalous photo of Prince Andrew with the girls.  They put the puppet on Virginia's lap and sat, I sat on Andrew's lap, and they put the puppet's hand on Virginia's breast, and Andrew put his hand on my breast, and they took a photo.  The most, the more disturbing allegations against Prince Andrew came directly from Garuff. Please name a person that Glam Maxwell directed you to go have sex with. And she said, Prince. Andrew. Now, the only reason I'm saying Garuff's name is because that's been the most high profile victim of some of this and she's come out and obviously been the forerunner in the victims to actually go after these people and is very, very open and public about it. Glenn Dubin  is another one. So it says Garuff also alleged that she was directed to have sex with Epstein's friend and billionaire and then hedge fund manager, Glenn Dubin. Okay, well I need you to say the time when Maxwell directed you to go have sex with another person. So can you please tell me to whom Glenn Maxwell asked you to go have sex with another person?  Mr. Edwards, the lawyer, said, Object to the form.  And then she said, A. Glenn. Dubin.  Dubin's ties to Epstein have been previously reported back in 2009 after Epstein was given his sweetheart plea deal from the Department of Justice. The Dubins hosted Epstein for Thanksgiving dinner.  Wow.  That must be quite the Thanksgiving dinner. Now one of the bigger names that we'll see here that came up to me that was the most surprising, you know, who's surprised by hedge fund managers and all that stuff. Well, let's just, let's take it in stride. It says Thanksgiving dinner telling his probation officer, they were 100 percent comfortable with his being around their teenage daughter. Ew.  Another one was Tom Pritzker. Tom Pritzker is a billionaire businessman serving as executive chair for Hyatt Hotels and a chairman and CEO of the Pritzker organization. He's also a member of the Aspen Institute. Gruff alleged she slept with him once.  Now, if we go into the conversation here, it says, if I were to ask you the question, how many times did you have sex with Tom Pritzker? Do you know what that question means? She said, I believe so. All right. And what is the answer? I believe I was with Tom once.  Next one is David Copperfield. Magician, magician David Copperfield also emerged in the latest Epstein release. While there are no sex related allegations against Copperfield, at this time it's clear the witness testimony that he was friends with Epstein and had at least some knowledge of what was going on in Epstein's home.  Perhaps he had been informed by Epstein or Maxwell that they were recruiting process where girls were paid to find other girls according to Johanna,  the victim. Have you ever met David Copperfield?  Copperfield, yes. And do you recall when you initially met him? Yes. Can you tell me what that was about? Sure, someone called me from the house and said that he would be there, and if I wanted to come have dinner, then I could meet him. And what happened at the dinner, if anything? He did some magic tricks. Did you observe David Copperfield to be a friend of Jeffrey Epstein's? Yes. Did Copperfield ever discuss Jeffrey's involvement with young girls with you? He questions me if I was aware that girls were getting paid to find other girls. Did he tell you any of the specifics of that? And no.  And the biggest reveal for me from all of the Epstein documents  that I hadn't seen before that it had no really backing until this more recent release is Michael Jackson's name came up in the Epstein documents. That's right. Michael Jackson. Now, again, I don't think this should surprise very many people when you get into the highest levels of Hollywood elites and Hollywood elite  pedophiles.  He's probably one of the first names that comes up.  But  even Michael Jackson, the king of pop himself, was friendly with Epstein. He was at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion at least once, as explained by the victim. Did you ever meet anybody famous when you were at Epstein?  She said, I met Michael Jackson. Oh, really? And where was that at his house in Palm Beach at Jeffrey's house in Palm Beach. Did you massage him? She said, I did not. She would also testify that Epstein would speak on the phone with either celebrity with other celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett.  Here's the transcript said I was, I saw one press report that you said you met Cate Blanchett or Leonardo DiCaprio. I did not meet them. No, when I spoke about them, it was when I was massaging him. And he would get off, he would be on the phone a lot of the time, and one time he said, Oh, that was Leonardo, or that was Cate Blanchett, or Bruce Willis, that kind of thing. So, just name dropping. Yes. Okay.  Here's the closing thoughts from this article. It says many of the documents that were released today were previously released in the course of Garuff vs. Maxwell's litigation, albeit in a more redacted form.  For example, one document from today's allegations that claimed Maxwell took the passport of a 15 year old girl. We reported on that document back in 2022, it said. Also, as we discussed on December 19th of 2023, not all the Jane Doe's are alleged to have committed wrongdoing,  or John Doe's, sorry. Today's documents included John Doe's who were doctors to the victims, friends of the victims, and family members of the victims.  It's been unfortunate and rather sad to see the media and various morons with large platforms on social media. The list is long and distinguished to lump those innocent people with the predatory John Doe's, as if all the names to be released were part of Epstein's list. If there is a positive to all of that, We guess it's that you can can't really tell who doesn't, you can really tell who doesn't do the reading anyways. Then this is what I preempted that 90 person list with, right. It's like, you can't just go look at these names and say every single one of them was one of the perpetrators. No, you have to dig deeper than that  anyways. The list of unknown John Doe's as opposed to the known John Doe's, such as Sarah Kellen, who are alleged to have committed abuse, is rather small. Today's release doesn't include all the perpetrator, John Doe's. There are more names set to be released in the coming days. This includes John Doe 113, a purported Epstein affiliate and witness,  witness who is alleged to have engaged in serious wrongdoing.  And we'll be here to report.  The developments.  All right. So there you have it. Now  let's go back  to  the victim or I'm sorry, not the victim, but one of the most interesting cases that has come up, the  probably biggest,  biggest,  most made fun of individual from all of this and rightfully, right. If you're on this list and a part of this, obviously  you deserve to be ridiculed endlessly for the rest of your life.  But,  Stephen Hawking was on Jeffrey Epstein's list released.  Hmm,  you say Stephen Hawking? Isn't that guy a quadriplegic?  Yes! Yes, he is.  I have questions, and I'm sure so do you,  but his name was on the list, and by far,  by far, the best joke that I've seen on this so far  is what I had mentioned earlier that I just ran into when I was looking at all of this,  and it said,  Stephen, did you hear about Stephen Hawking being on Jeffrey Epstein's list? Yes. Yes, I did.  He was tried, convicted and sentenced.  He got the chair.  All right, so Stephen Hawking was on the list. Now this is probably,  again, like I said, the, the most hilarious of them all and not really hilarious. It's not, none of it's funny, obviously, but the most crazy wild is probably more accurate.  Stephen Hawking was now the center of every internet meme of all time now because he was found within the documents saying that he loved being a part, well, One of the victims, I guess,  said that he loved being a part of underage orgies.  And this comes from NDTV. It says, Okay, we all know all of that.  Jeffrey Epstein once proposed A reward to disprove an alleged accusation involving renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, a report said. The latest finding comes in a large trove of documents released due to a lawsuit filed by Virginia Garuff, Epstein accuser against Ghislaine Maxwell, an accomplice to Epstein. In a 2015 email, Epstein reportedly Suggested to Maxwell that she could issue a reward to anyone who could disprove  Giroff's allegations. Specifically, Epstein mentioned a purported claim that Hawking had participated in an orgy on Epstein's private island in the Virgin Islands. It's important to note that there are no specific allegations directly from Giroff regarding Hawking and that Hawking has never been charged with any sexual misconduct.  Hawking did visit Epstein's private Caribbean Island as a part of a science conference trip, of course, to St. Thomas in March 2006, shortly before Epstein faced his first charges. Photos from the events show Hawking participating in activities on Epstein Island. However, the newly revealed email did not contain any evidence to substantiate the claim against Hawking. The same email also referred to a separate allegation involving President Bill Clinton, who Epstein said was falsely accused, of course, right? So basically what was happening in this situation is that Jeffrey Epstein was probably  had Stephen Hawking or his crew reach out to him and go, Hey, we need you to find somebody who, in case something happens or this information comes out, is a friend of the individuals that were around this area that are making these claims that would then say that he was not there and he didn't participate and none of this is true. So he was just saying, I'll pay you or pay the, I will reward the individual.  the amount of millions of dollars  to potentially lie  and say that he wasn't a part of this,  which to me tells me, again, most of what you need to know.  It says  Virginia Garaffe was also accused upseen trafficker and forcing her to have sex with Prince Andrew, King Charles, thirds, the younger brother on three occasions when she was 17 in the 2022 statement, following an out of court settlement with Garaffe, Prince Andrews lawyer stated his intention to make a substantial donation to grow up, charity, to support a victim's rights.  Yeah, okay.  Now, another part of this is, did you know?  That the Simpsons actually predicted Stephen Hawking  being  a pedophile.  And the video, I saw the video of this, is he's basically in a  a gazebo in his wheelchair. And he goes to leave and, and picks up,  what is it? Not Marge's daughter. I forget the, how can I not know that? Right? Come on.  Let's see if it's on here. But anyways  Maggie, right? Is that Maggie? Yeah, I think it's Maggie. Or is Maggie the one, the younger one? Yeah, Bart,  Homer,  Maggie.  Yeah, who cares?  I'm sure you're shaking and your fist at me right now. But anyways, I gotta keep a lot of other stuff in here And I haven't watched The Simpsons in probably 15 years. So to be fair  but  Allegedly, this was a another Simpson conspiracy win here was Stephen Hawking picking up One of the Simpsons children and taking them on a little flight with him  after he had  left this little scene on the Simpsons. So  let's see if we can get any of the comments here from the comments section.  But, pretty wild stuff. Yeah, just, just the, the similarity, the correlation to the events is a little uncanny to say the least.  Side note, I do find it funny, I did a video the other day about Madison Cawthorne, if you haven't gone and watched the  Dave Chappelle comedy special that he just had released on Netflix, he actually does a joke about Madison Cawthorne, and I've had some  short conversations with Madison Cawthorne before through social media, and  he, he  actually made a joke about Madison Cawthorne, and it was pretty good, it got a little dark for a second  but it was a funny joke, and Madison Cawthorne took it in stride and actually went and To the show of Dave Chappelle  and to see Dave Chappelle making fun of him Which I think is just the all time like best move that you could do in that situation is like the last thing you should do when somebody you know makes fun of you or  your  background, your, your shortcomings  is try to cancel them like the left is constantly trying to do. Right? We've seen people from, from the left you know, always trying to, you know, there's the big walkout because of him and all this other crazy stuff. So it just seems like the wrong way to go about that. And Jeff. Or,  And Madison Cawthorn  actually drove out to the place where it was closest to him that he could go and have a,  a actual full show of Dave Chappelle. So he could be made fun of directly by Dave Chappelle, which I just love.  And it was uncanny because Dave Chappelle was making fun of like, why, why are you inviting a,  he said, quadriplegic to a, to an orgy? Like, what is he going to do? Just wheel around and. Look and you basically just invited a snitch to come in there and snitch on everybody and you can't even participate and you know It's way funnier than me So go watch it and it was hilarious but the fact that the timing of that coming out at the same exact time that we find out that Stephen Hawking was Included in these Epstein orgies is like just just pretty weird  Alright, so the next situation that we're going to discuss here  is going to be that in Miami  There was  hundreds, what looked like, of cops.  In Miami, responding to a call, allegedly, about children fighting each other with sticks and fireworks. And I think the number that I saw was four kids, or young adults, fighting each other with sticks. And you look at the videos of this, and there was at least 85  cop cars lined, I've never seen anything like it in my life, lined down the road, to respond to this call about four children.  Fighting with sticks and fireworks inside of a mall.  That seems weird,  but there was reports coming out afterwards of individuals who were being interviewed because there was no footage of these kids fighting with sticks. There was no footage of the fireworks being shut off inside of this mall,  which is weird because you have that much of a police presence. First of all, why do you have 70 cops? So you can't imagine how many cops were actually there, but 70 cop cars lined up all the way down the street just to respond to a call about four kids fighting each other with sticks. Dicks, not machine guns, not Tommy guns, not  RPGs, no sticks.  Okay? So weird. And there's no footage about it. And you, you go into any tropical smoothie and you'll see that there's a video somewhere on Tik Tok of, of a Karen yelling at a tropical smoothie manager somewhere. Like, if this was the case and it warranted this type of response, why not have  video evidence of this?  But there were people who came out from this Miami mall, allegedly,  and said that. The reason that they were, the reason that there was such a large presence there was that because there was a large  amount of shadowy aliens chasing down people in the mall that were reportedly eight to 10 feet tall. Now, this is going to lead us into our deep dive for this week, which is about the Nephilim, which is the ancient biblical beings, which were allegedly very tall and very strong and descendants of God and man.  But we'll get into that deep dive in a minute. Whether or not I believe this is the case is another story, because it seems to me like, hey, if there's 8 to 10, if I think there's going to be footage of  14 year olds fighting with sticks, I definitely think there's going to be footage of 8 to 10 foot tall beings chasing people down in a shopping mall,  unless there was some sort of men in black, you know, memory stick that erases everybody's memories and phone footage from iCloud.  I don't know. I just don't believe that probably either.  Right, there's probably going to be footage that comes out about that, either which way. So the weird thing is that we still don't really have the full narrative from inside or outside from the police that were there of what actually happened within this mall. But the reports that came out from within, and people who claim to have been inside of this mall at the time that this happened, was that there were shadow like alien figures chasing people down.  So this comes from CBS news,  Miami,  and here's the article. It says a large brawl between teenagers caused chaos at Bayside marketplace in downtown Miami on Monday night. However, social media users claimed that what ensued then was much more.  As the fight drew a heavy police presence to the area that evening, rumors quickly spread around Twitter and other social media platforms, suggesting that police weren't there to handle a group of rowdy teens, but rather nine or eight to 10 foot tall shadow aliens.  According to an amateur video posted online, there was moments when a big creature could be seen in plain sight standing in front of the entrance to the shopping mall, causing many online conspiracies. Conspiracists  . I like that online. Conspiracists. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm a conspiracist to post their takes on exactly what happened that Monday night, and of course the memes came flooding in as well. Hmm. So here is the video of the amount of cop cars that were there, and I'll share this with you if you're on YouTube.  Here it is.  Let's watch this video. Here's the actual like, and we'll just kind of skip around so that we get to the,  get to the  part where you see the unbelievable amount of police officers that were actually here on site.  If it'll load for us.  Here we go.  I'll turn the footage off or the sound off for you guys. So if you're on the podcast, it doesn't blast your ears  just like that.  So it's panning and as it's panning, you see down the road. Of this like, side street in front of the mall. I guess every time I  go to turn the sound off, it's also pausing it.  Here we go, let's just do this.  There we go, it's panning and there's  10, 20,  30, 50,  70, like so many cop cars. Lined all the way down this whole road. So many cop cars.  So, let's go on to the next part here. I don't know if the rumors are about the aliens in the Miami Mall are real, but I do know I've never seen this many police in one place, said one ex user. Wow, thank you for your feedback.  Has some mean videos. Everybody has cell phones. Nobody has an up close video of the eight, 10 foot aliens at the mall. Another user posted. Yeah, good point.  Me greeting the aliens at the mall. Isn't just some memes. All right.  So I don't know what's going on here. I do know  that there's a increasing amount of conversations surrounding beings. Surrounding aliens, surrounding spiritual beings, surrounding, you know, how many times have we heard about aliens over the last year, it is absolutely ramping up in the public psyche, which to me is priming, right? I think we're being primed. I think we're being primed for  some sort of catastrophe event, you know, whether you want to call it project blue beam or whether they're actually is going to have something that ends up coming out  that is real. Yeah. And they're priming us for that thing, potentially. But I do believe we're being primed for the situation. You want to go back to  the most you know, publicized alien events over the last six months, let's say. There was the woman on the plane. That motherfucker right back there is not real. And, you know, remember her, right? That was priming. Right? I think, I think, you know, whether she was a part of it or not, whatever. But I do think that there are certain news entities and algorithms from social medias that can take a video like that and either do one of two things. They can suppress it, or they can add fuel to the fire. They can decide that they're going to give it 50 million views.  They make those decisions, right? So when they decide whether to suppress a video,  amplify it, you should pay attention as to why, right? Maybe that, that's what happened. And maybe she was drunk and maybe nothing happened,  but still  that video was allowed to circulate the way that it did through social media and then through news organizations. So whether or not that was It doesn't have to be intentional. She doesn't have to be an actress. It doesn't have to be this crazy conspiracy to happen. Maybe she was drunk on a plane and took a  Valium when she shouldn't have or a Xanax. And then, Drank too much and she saw something weird and she was all whatever messed up and now she's you know a living meme for the rest of her life. But,  so there was that event the first one that set it off a little bit. And there's been all those the senate hearings and stuff like that too, but let's let's not even talk about those. Let's talk about the social media aspect.  Then, there was the video footage of somebody in their backyard who called the cops  on exactly what's being reported here, an 8 to 10 foot tall being in their backyard that they allegedly found on their security footage.  Interesting.  And now,  another situation that's circulating like crazy is the fact that there was these 8 to 10 foot tall, spiritual, Shadowy beings inside of this mall,  and that's why the police showed up in this way. So I absolutely believe we're being primed in some way, shape or form.  If you want to go back and look at the, you know, then the whole episode on project blue beam,  I'll give you a synopsis.  Project blue beam is essentially the idea that our government is going to cause some sort of  catastrophic illusion that makes it seem as if aliens are attacking us to bring on one world government to fight it off. Okay. Which, you know, is interesting. I, you know, I'm reading a book right now that's actually going to become a Netflix series that I would highly recommend,  which is The Three Body Problem, which is a Chinese book.  It's a three part fiction sci sci fi book that you can read and I highly recommend it. It's beautifully written. It's really well done. It's really interesting. It brings up some philosophical  conversations. It brings it jumps all through these beautiful timelines and There's, there's so many well done elements to it. I would highly recommend it. The Three Body Problem and then  The Dark Forest and then Death Sent is the, the three part series of this, this book series. But it's actually going to be a Netflix series that comes out. Although from the trailer of the Netflix series, I'm a little disappointed because I'm a big fan of this book that I'm reading. I'm on the third one right now. I'm about, I don't know, 25 percent through it, but.  They're not, they're not super light books, but I, again, if you read, go read it, and if you don't read, maybe go read the first one, because it's gonna get on Netflix here in March, and but, but it looked like in the trailer, they kind of butchered it. There was a Chinese  version of it where I'm, seems like they were much more aligned with the way the book was written. And then the Americanized version of it looks like they took a lot of liberties that they shouldn't have taken. And it's done by the same people that did Game of Thrones. So it's obviously going to be pushed like crazy  and it's coming in March, I think. So if you have the time, grab the three body problem, highly recommend it. I think you would like it. I've enjoyed it. It's the first sci fi book I've ever really read but it's been really fun journey for, for myself. So I think you'd like it too. And if you care, it's.  It's  the, the person who wrote the foreword for it, maybe not the foreword, but just wrote a review for it that's on the very front of it is Barack Obama, which is like the most random shit ever,  anyways,  so so that's where I believe, I, I believe we're being primed, I believe this is being allowed to circulate this way, I think that they probably, probably wanted to pump up the conspiracy theorists, just the same way they did with Q, right? They're going to infiltrate the communities and start to put stuff on Reddit and, and, and put the videos out there and, and spark all this conversation so that eventually some, some things going to happen, right? We look back at COVID and even back in 2000 and geez, I don't remember the date, but, but Bill Gates did a, did a,  a.  Speech on viruses and how it's going to cause this nationwide pandemic. And you look at the,  the who or something wrote, wrote a gosh, I can't remember the document now, but you can go back. I've talked about it before. There was a document written on the direct response by the, this, whatever government organization was might've been the NIH about how to drill, how to deal with a Corona virus. If it just so happened to break out and it was like two years prior and it outlined exactly basically how. They approached this  COVID situation. So whatever.  But I, but I think that was priming and I think this is priming now and I think something will happen there. This is all leading up to something and whether it's this year or next year,  the reason that.  And if you listen to my last podcast, and I don't want to go on too many side tangents here, so let's just keep this the mainstream.  I believe we're being primed. I believe that this is happening intentionally. I believe it's being allowed to circulate the way that it is right now because there's going to be something that happens, whether it's a trove of information that they're just getting us ready to like,  to sleep about aliens until they actually tell us, yeah, they're real and hey, we're in contact with them and we've been in contact with them for over a hundred years. And guess how you got internet and guess how you got that cell phone that you can FaceTime your grandma six fucking million miles away from you and get instantaneous access to all the information you could ever want at will and Watch midget porn before you go to bed, whatever it is that you do, use the internet for  and play video games and all of these other, all the technology that has come out from humans  over the last hundred years. You look at the trajectory that we were on for technology,  the, the thousand years prior was nowhere near, nowhere near the amount of technology that we've come out with in the last 50, a hundred years, a hundred years, let's say a hundred years  is unbelievable.  My firm belief, I firmly believe that the reason that we have all the technology we have, internet, cell phones, the basically almost anything and everything that's not a physically tangible, if it's a frequency that goes through the air, like Nikola Tesla stuff, right?  I believe that it is not of this world. I believe that we are gaining technology. tips from some other entity that was either here before us or came from somewhere else. And you can call me crazy if you want to, but I just don't believe you. You're going to tell me that internet was designed by some random idiot like me in a basement by himself, like, or some five guys in a  room together with A sharpie, like, I don't believe you, it's just, it's not convincing to me, but it is super convincing that somebody else who had far more technology than us has been dropping little pieces of it from time to time, whether that's directly through to you know, what Tucker Carlson will come out and say in just a minute here, when we watch his video is that they're in contact with these beings. They've been in contact with these beings. These beings have been here. They've always been here.  And he believes they're spiritual beings.  Just, you know, we'll get into that in a minute.  But anyways, that's the story of the mall. That's my beliefs on that. And this is where I think it's going. I think that there will be some precipice of information that's released or some event. It's going to be information or an event.  And I guess the information would be an event in and of itself if you've been following this long enough.  But I absolutely believe there's going to be a, a,  this happened big precipice that all of this priming has been about for so long. We're being told aliens this, and aliens that, and UFOs are real, and they go into the water, and this and that, and, you know,  And they've basically, you know, I heard Joe Rogan talk about this this way, it's like, they've made being interested in aliens and aliens being released as like, boring now. That nobody really even seems to care. Like it's, it's so wild to see the way that it's been done. It's like, they've lulled everybody to sleep by making it 1, 500 page Senate hearings and Like, they just, when you were growing up in the 90s, you probably thought it was going to be some big saucer, just like,  over top of your town, and then it goes over the farm,  and up goes a cow, from like a big blue beam of light.  That was what we all thought it was going to be. And it's not going to be that. It's not Independence Day. Or maybe it fucking will be, which is probably the most terrifying of the events, right?  But anyways, that's wher
