The boys are talking the worst music fandoms and Ryan is getting psycho-analyzed. 

The riots, protests, and boycotts that broke out in North America in the wake of the Stamp Act were only one part of the mass crisis that beset Great Britain in the 1760s, as the discontented poor and middle classes rallied behind the ideals of liberty and freedom of speech, and around “radical Whig” politicians who challenged the power of the Crown and the London oligarchy – none more so than the infamous provocateur, satirist, and “rake,” John Wilkes, who ignited popular passions in London and the colonies and nearly burned down the ruling Whig establishment. We examine a key specimen of a tiny glass cufflink jewel inscribed with the incendiary slogan, “Wilkes and Liberty,” which was rececntly discovered in an abandoned town in North Carolina, and which has touched off a wave of similar discoveries, revealing the importance of small, almost unnoticeable objects in the spread of discontent and radical rhetoric across the Atlantic in the years before the American Revolution.

A lively, anecdotal wander through the London Borough of Islington – from its Saxon beginnings as Giseldone, “the hill of Gisla,” to its current status as London's most eclectic, outspoken patch of ground. Once rural pastureland where Londoners came for milk and fresh air, Islington grew into a hotbed of politics, art, and attitude. The piece takes readers down Upper Street and along the Regent's Canal, past Bunhill Fields and the Emirates Stadium, pausing to salute the borough's famous sons and daughters – from John Wilkes to Johnny Rotten. It's part history, part love letter, full of wit, colour, and contradiction, capturing a place that has always refused to sit quietly while London goes about its business.

Following the news that the UK and US have signed a trade deal, including improved access for American beef in the UK, John Wilkes spoke with Kent Bacus from the National Cattlemen's Beef Association in the US to get a US perspective on the deal and the prospects for US-UK trade. Message us

Ben Franklin and his Scottish allies face off against the inflammatory rhetoric of John Wilkes, whose anti-Scottish and revolutionary propaganda threatens both British and colonial stability. As Franklin seeks diplomacy, Wilkes' radical influence on American colonists only intensifies the growing call for independence. Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thesecretofstandrews1759Talk with Hamish, our AI-powered caddie:https://www.thesecretofstandrews.com/

Shepherdess Brittany Cole Bush talks to Farmers Guardian US Correspondent John Wilkes. California is experiencing some of the worst ever wildfires. By August 16, a total of 5,210 wildfires burned 332,606 ha (821,887 acres).  The Park Fire is the fourth largest in Californian history – approximately 14 times the size of San Francisco. Since late July it has destroyed 173,000 ha in Northern California. This podcast was recorded August 4. On the podcast this week John is joined by the entrepreneurial sheep and goat grazer Brittany Cole Bush from the Ojai Valley, Ventura County in Southern California. Cole's personal journey to set up her company called “Shepherdess Livestock and Land” draws global media coverage from The Guardian, French Elle and others. Her “flerd” of sheep and goats is in demand to remove dense highly flammable vegetation for an array of governmental agencies and other property owner clients. Cole also established “The Grazing School of the West” where she operates bootcamps.  The school's goal is to encourage a new generation into this burgeoning sector within the American sheep industry. Like Cole, the majority of applicants are from non-agricultural backgrounds. In the context of the American sheep industry Cole sees herself,  “As a black sheep. A black Navajo-Churro sheep, a Heritage breed that has to be wily, very resilient, small framed and wooly. I represent a very unique population; a single woman owned sheep business from Southern California. The first in my family to do something like this.” Message us

Today we present to you our interview with Robin Eagles, who has recently written a book for Amberley Publishing, titled "Champion of English Freedom: The Life of John Wilkes, M.P. and Lord Mayor of London". John Wilkes was a very important figure in 18th century politics, and within the same lifetime he managed to be a Member of the British Parliament, a supporter of the revolutionaries in the American colonies, as well as a supporter of the Abolition of Slavery, a Lord Mayor of London, a pornographer, and a devoted Dad, who wouldn't want to miss Christmas with his daughter.

The first UK sheep embryos have been imported to the United States. This is the first of what is hoped to be a regular trade in ovine genetics. Our reporter John Wilkes based in Washington gives his analysis on what this means for the global sheep market 

The most famous phrase in American history once looked quite different. "The preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness" was how Thomas Jefferson put it in the first draft of the Declaration, before the first ampersand was scratched out, along with "the preservation of." In a statement as pithy--and contested--as this, a small deletion matters. And indeed, that final, iconizing revision was the last in a long chain of revisions stretching across the Atlantic and back. The precise contours of these three rights have never been pinned down--and yet in making these words into rights, Jefferson reified the hopes (and debates) not only of a group of rebel-statesmen but also of an earlier generation of British thinkers who could barely imagine a country like the United States of America. Peter Moore's Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness: Britain and the American Dream (1740–1776) (FSG, 2023) tells the true story of what may be the most successful import in US history: the "American dream." Centered on the friendship between Benjamin Franklin and the British publisher William Strahan, and featuring figures including the cultural giant Samuel Johnson, the ground-breaking historian Catharine Macaulay, the firebrand politician John Wilkes, and revolutionary activist Thomas Paine, this book looks at the generation that preceded the Declaration in 1776. Everyone, it seemed, had "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" on their minds; Moore shows why, and reveals how these still-nascent ideals made their way across an ocean and started a revolution. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A 4th of July London fix

It's been a while since we looked at A MAN on the podcast, so let's take a look at the ugliest man in England, member of one of the (supposedly) raunchiest clubs, and revolutionary reformer. John Wilkes was both a champion of liberty and a much hated politician - usually from within his own government! But what brought him there, and what was this mysterious Hellfire club that he belonged to? Hold on to your hats, we're getting down and dirty with John Wilkes! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Hellfire Club. Since the arrival of Hawkin's finest dungeon master, Eddie, to the world of Stranger Things the 'Hellfire Club' has been a pop culture hot topic. But what is - or rather, was - the Hellfire Club? Lauren takes us back once again to Britain's murky past to uncover the true history of the real Hellfire Clubs, what they stood for, and how they've seeped into our cultural consciousness. More on John Wilkes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wilkes 'Rakes, Highwaymen, and Pirates: The Making of the Modern Gentleman in the Eighteenth Century' by Erin Mackie: https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/9697/rakes-highwaymen-and-pirates Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheGhoulGuides Support us on Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/theghoulguides

This continues the British centric focus on the approach to the American Revolution.  We cover the many distractions of the British government and get into some of the many ways government policy and grip on reality was just lacking in so many ways.John Wilkes and his saga is a major distraction and a fascinating story.  But there is also Junius, the East India Company, The Present Discontents, Fox bathing in cream and foreign policy oriented towards Europe.  We cover how the Townsend Acts, the Intolerable Acts and the Mansfield decision abolishing slavery complete the revolutionary coalition in America.  

Join historian Terry Alford for a fascinating lecture about his newest book, In the Houses of Their Dead: The Lincolns, the Booths, and the Spirits. Two families, one at the nation's political summit and one at its theatrical, were bound together in the Civil War period by their fascination with spiritualism. Abraham and Mary Lincoln turned to the seance table when their son Willie Lincoln died in 1862. Edwin Booth and his brother John Wilkes were similarly attracted to the otherworld by the death of Edwin's wife Mary Devlin in 1863. Although there were many mediums in the country, the number of distinguished intermediaries to the other side was limited, and the two families shared several of the most gifted ones. No medium was more controversial than Charles J. Colchester, who astounded the Lincolns with his powers while being an intimate friend of John Wilkes Booth at the same time. Colchester repeatedly warned Lincoln to be careful. Would the president, who received many such warnings over the years, finally listen to the one that mattered? Terry L. Alford is Professor of History Emeritus at Northern Virginia Community College. He is the author of several books, including Prince among Slaves: The True Story of an African Prince Sold into Slavery in the American South, which was made into a PBS documentary in 2007; Fortune's Fool: The Life of John Wilkes Booth, a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist; and In the Houses of Their Dead: The Lincolns, the Booths, and the Spirits. The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

John Wilkes was a radical politician and newspaper editor. He used poetry and Magna Carta to mobilise public opinion, which helped him fight for many causes in his lifetime. Join Hazel Baker as she talks with City of London tour guide Ian McDiarmid to discuss MP John Wilkes and his life in London.

Bonus Ep!! We could not be more excited if we tried. On this bonus episode we talk with one of our very favorite people, Actor, Adam Chanler-Berat. Along with being one of our best friends, Adam has also just finished a sold out run of the musical Assassins. This ties him loosely to knowing about presidents and First Ladies and so duh we had to have him on. We talk about the ghosts in his theater, the motivations behind what makes a person want to boldly kill a president, and Scientology. Adam also blows our mind by telling us the most wild story of Edwin Booth, brother of John Wilkes. You really can't miss this. I mean seriously. Enjoy!! 

In 1760s London, John Wilkes was a champion of liberty and an advocate for free speech and freedom of the press. He was an outspoken member of Parliament and in 1764 the House of Commons expelled him, but he was reelected. The Founding Fathers of the United States were deeply shaped by Great Britain's Parliamentary oppression of Wilkes. Part of the Immortals leadership series.

And yes, we can put sex and drugs and Jesus all in the same bed and still be all right. At the end of the day, my name is Davanon and I'll be interviewing guests from every corner of this world. As we dig into topics that are too risky for the morning show, as we strive to help you understand what's really going on in your.[00:00:24] There was nothing on the table and we've got a lot to talk about. So let's dive right into this episode.[00:00:34] [00:00:34] De'Vannon: All right, Jay, thank you so much for coming on this X drags and Jesus' podcast today, we show sexy chocolate. So it's so much fun. Is he another, um, ball black man, or they, um, say it in one of my favorite movies? White chicks.[00:00:56] J. Maceo: Well, it's funny you say that because what I was thinking of, I was [00:01:00] looking at everything you're younger than me. You're like a prettier version than me. What if they were ever to play a Hollywood story? You'd be the younger version of me. [00:01:12] De'Vannon: I, you know, I'll do it too. I mean, I'm 38, about to be 39. So 43. I, um, am all about that life, honey, you know, black don't crack.[00:01:24] Are you going to be looking fabulous, but as, [00:01:26] J. Maceo: uh, I hope so. [00:01:29] De'Vannon: And so. Yeah, this is Jay Macio. He co-hosts the cosmic journey podcast with, um, Dimmi who was on my show before. So this is basically like a tag team. Jimmy had his way with me and now Jay, to get, to get the sloppy seconds. And I couldn't be more thrilled to, uh, be a part of that.[00:01:52] Oreo. I love it. Yeah. Okay. So Jay, tell us, um, some of [00:02:00] your inspiration, your, your history and your background and some of your struggles. [00:02:07] J. Maceo: Wow. Where does that start? So, uh, well I grew up, uh, black and gay a closet in, uh, Houston, Texas, uh, which uses a big city, but it's a big city in the city. So there was a lot of hiding, a lot of shame.[00:02:21] I grew up in the church, which was on one hand comforting. Uh, and I learned a lot from those experiences. On the other hand, I had to had to hide a lot, uh, who I was and that sort of thing. But I, you know, I loved church when I was young, uh, loved going, loved the music and that sort of thing. And I think musically, a lot of my inspiration does come from that.[00:02:44] Uh, but, uh, you know, I had a lot of struggles with depression as a kid, just, uh, wow. And I think a lot of it came from being gay and hiding them. And my father wondering, was that the issue, like, did he, was that really [00:03:00] gay or not? Um, and you know, fast, a little bit, you know, we talked about, uh, some of my struggles before and alcohol started to play a very good role in making me feel like just okay, Uh, so I, you know, had alcohol for, you know, for years abused, alcohol abuse, other substances, uh, you know, and been, I had been in and out of program, uh, like AA and that sort of thing.[00:03:29] Uh, now I've currently been away from everything for five years, uh, which is huge for a dude like me, but I'll tell you this, that no matter what I've gone through, I've learned from,[00:03:44] De'Vannon: okay. That's what it's all about. I want you to tell me, um, what you learned about being an ex preacher. [00:03:52] J. Maceo: Wow. Uh, the prejudice of people too. Um, that's one of [00:03:57] De'Vannon: the, it's hard to tell these days. [00:04:00] [00:04:02] J. Maceo: No, I hear you. I mean, it's, it's funny, uh, prejudice. I knew cust um, [00:04:08] De'Vannon: what denomination were you were a preacher in a Baptist.[00:04:13] Yeah, they cuss. That's not all it did to who did. That's what I said. That's not all they did to [00:04:19] J. Maceo: no, you're right. So, and I, it's funny, what I learned was I learned to kind of walk a line because there was church me and there was outside of church, me and I feel like, you know, on Sundays, uh, and on Tuesday night for Bible study, I was one person.[00:04:39] And then when I left, I was completely different. Like in full German, I fashioned a completely different person, a couple of things that I did learn, uh, from, uh, from my preaching days, especially in my church that I went to. So my uncle, when I moved here, I went to a church. My uncle was, he still lives the pastor there.[00:04:58] Um, and [00:05:00] he. Challenged my thinking in a lot of ways, the way he looked at reading the Bible, I mean, he would pick it apart. You know, what's the Greek org, what's the Hebrew words they're written in different languages. He would go to, you know, what was the context, the culture of the situation. And so I learned to look at things, a lot of things through, through context and not just at face value.[00:05:22] I think that's a huge, huge thing that I learned. Um, I learned a lot of spirituality I'd say from my uncle because, uh, he was definitely, you know, cooler than my parents. I moved out here at 16 and my parents had that tight grip and my uncle was like, Hey, go discover life. Be, you know, be who you are, you know, be, you know, just go out and discover stuff.[00:05:46] And so through the, through the preaching, I learned a different way of looking at things. Um, I think I learned how to be connected. To something greater than myself, someone, [00:06:00] something greater than myself, uh, which helps me now on a daily basis. And I learned, uh, you know, I, I love the saying that another, uh, guy who was a preacher said, he said, don't take yourself too seriously, take what you do seriously, but don't take yourself so seriously.[00:06:18] Uh, so [00:06:19] De'Vannon: yeah, I hear you on that now. Um, Houston is a big city. That's where I was a drug dealer ad and that's where I became addicted to all my vices. Uh, yeah, I, um, uh, that's why I went to jail. That's why I was homeless and everything like that. Houston is a, Houston is a motherfucker motherfucker. [00:06:41] J. Maceo: I never experienced it as an adult.[00:06:45] You [00:06:45] De'Vannon: know, it's great for people, as long as you're not like, you know, want hit by lightning, you know, the police and shit like, like me, I can't like. I'm not currently wanted by police in Houston, [00:07:00] but I am banned from Bank of America for life. So no, you know, it happen, you know, in my twenties and yeah.[00:07:14] And I thought it was so interesting how you and, um, Demi came to be co-host because he was saying like, he interviewed you for the show that he had, and then he was so inspired by you that you ended up being a co-host. So, you know how incredible the kick ass, you have to be like the best guest ever.[00:07:37] Cause it, and this and this community people like there is, um, there is, um, quality of host, then there's quality of guests as well. And then. Um, and so, and so for you to have had been that good to be like, not just, Hey, I'm going to give you a raving review, but to come host this show, [00:07:59] J. Maceo: I [00:08:00] think we vibed off of each other, you know, in one, in one case it can be great hosts or great guests.[00:08:06] But I think in this, like this in a lot of areas of life, sometimes there's just a, a vibe that's there. And I love that there's a vibe and a flow. And I think we had that, uh, that day, but I I'd say now we have a, we have a good chemistry, [00:08:22] De'Vannon: right? It's so that, let me start, go back to the preaching thing. Now I spent some time in seminary.[00:08:27] You don't have to go to seminary to be a preacher. Um, in fact, like the Southern religions, like the Baptist and the Pentecostals really don't have from, from my experience and exposure to them that have regard for people who do go to school to learn how to preach, you know, they look at them as less authentic.[00:08:45] Well, I mean a ministry. And, um, so I went into seminary because that's what I was caught up in at the time I didn't stay because of the seminary was about bullshit. I came to learn that I'm curious as to why you are an ex preacher [00:09:00] and not steal a preacher, what happened? [00:09:02] J. Maceo: Sure. And I'll say this, that, I mean, in the churches that I went to were really big on education.[00:09:09] Uh, and I know that's not true with a lot of places. I do hear what you're saying about the authentic stuff, but, uh, in addition to the seminary, my uncle had a, um, uncle's last pastor had a, uh, a group that he, a conference that he had every year that went over a lot of those things that was kind of like a, um, an addition to seminary, like something that's with like a conference to teach preachers and teachers, uh, different things about, you know, context and culture and, uh, and doctorate and a lot of those things and help them with tools to, to, uh, to preach more of effectively.[00:09:43] But why am I excited? It's it's funny. I can loop this back to, uh, so part of it, I was thinking I'm like, which part do I say first part of it was that struggle, man, that struggle of I'm gay, but I have to hide this. I think [00:10:00] that's part of why I didn't go to seminary, uh, was because I knew I'd be immersed in a life and it wouldn't just be Sunday and Tuesday and maybe another day of the week, it would be one of those all day things.[00:10:11] So there was a separation between me and a lot of the other preachers who did, you know, go to school and go, go through that. Uh, but what happened? I remember, and I was good at preaching. I studied a lot. I was, I enjoyed it. I loved, I loved it while I was there. Uh, but then I ran back to have a different life.[00:10:31] So there was this, when they call me Reverend, and then there was when I was going out to, you know, I, I feel bad because they raised an offering here. I'm I am answering the question, but I just thought about this. They would raise an offering when you breached, uh, back then. And every time I'd be like, I'm going to get some books and I'm going to, you know, use this to, for some great stuff.[00:10:51] And that meant I would have to use that to, you know, go get my alcohol, they'll get drugs because of just the, the [00:11:00] feelings that were going on inside. And there was something in that when I, when I preached that, I felt like it touched people, but sometimes it felt like they're getting touched from this, but I don't feel like I am was a huge, huge thing for me.[00:11:15] But when I stopped preaching, I remember my first boyfriend, uh, we, he was, he was complete atheist. So I remember one time I went to preach. And he's like, ah, I'll come to your make-believe thing and, you know, come hear you preach. If you want me to do your little Jesus thing. And the weirdest thing is while, while I felt good that he would even come because of, you know, his beliefs, I started thinking, holy shit, like he comes, who do I say he is?[00:11:47] And what do I do? And I started spinning out about him coming to hear me preach because then my two worlds would collide. And from that moment on, I felt like I didn't need to be doing anything that would make me [00:12:00] have to hide my partner. We're not together anymore, but I feel like that I want it to be more authentic in my life in general.[00:12:08] So I think that's one thing that, uh, one reason. [00:12:13] De'Vannon: Right. That was going to be my next question was like, how did you reconcile, preaching with being a member of the alphabet community, but you did answer that. [00:12:20] J. Maceo: Yeah, well, you know, and I know there's a lot of, one thing I was fortunate with. I know a lot of people, uh, LGBT people to alphabet.[00:12:29] I love that, but I know there are a lot of us who, uh, went to places where they told him, you know, you're going to hell if you're gay. And I was our church, you know, surgeons that I went to were more like, you know, free grace, you know, you believe. And, you know, and you're, you know, quote unquote, save the, the good part about that.[00:12:49] As I knew that I was just someone with what I considered back then a struggle, uh, the bad news is, you know, what, that whole free grace thing, I was like, I can do whatever the hell I want, you know?[00:13:00] [00:13:02] De'Vannon: Right. Uh, we gotta be careful with our liberties so that they don't consume us. But what you were saying about like your one preacher who was, um, In his interpretation and explain and above, we'll get it into the context of the culture of the time when the original Hebrew and Greek and Aramaic. Um, that's something that I preach constantly on this show to people.[00:13:22] And I'll be getting that in my blog because it is crucial. Uh, you know, we understand fully the word for ourselves. And so whatever we're going to read through whatever kind of texts, I don't care for what country or nation it is, is important to understand. And what is really being said. And especially in its original languages, before we go and change our lives over it, or let somebody tell us what we ought to be doing or beat us over the head.[00:13:47] Um, I'm doing actually a three-part series with, uh, Reverend Marcia Ledford, um, who is, um, a strong LGBTQ [00:14:00] advocate. She's married to her wife and everything like that. We're focusing on, you know, the biblical call clobber passages that they always try to come for us with and everything. I thought it was that important.[00:14:10] Yeah, I actually do three, three whole episodes dedicated to breaking that shit down and actually understanding what it is. And so, so y'all stay tuned for that. That just made me think about all that. I can't wait to hear that, but you see, I got, I got kicked out of church for being LGBTQ, so there's like a very hot button with me.[00:14:33] That's the next blog. I'm getting ready to release on my website too, because you know, they really had me fucked up, but you know, I was, I wasn't trying to beat no bitches. I asked that day, so I just left quietly. I didn't want to have to lay it. Lady's hands on the mother thought that was, but you know, I'm a different person now.[00:14:51] I still love Jesus, but I'm a little bit, little bit more realistic about the way I approach it. So, um, [00:15:00] so, so podcasts, cosmic attorney with the DME and Jay, uh, on the podcast, you have a lot. Advice for self-improvement, you've done a lot of self study, self search, and I can attest from being in the sober community myself, when you've been addicted to something and gotten carried away with it.[00:15:18] And then you start to sober journey. A lot of the focus is on self-improvement, what you can do to better your self. And so, um, there's many different types of interpretations of sobriety, but they do all, I think, come down to self-improvement. And so you have a lot of interesting insight in techniques and stuff that you bring up.[00:15:40] So we're going to talk about some of those, the one you were talking about, something called running meditation. And when I heard this, my ears perked up, because I've never, I'd never heard it. Anybody talk about meditation and like an active state, which you said that you were uncomfortable with sitting still and listening to your thoughts.[00:15:58] And a lot of people are that way. And a lot of [00:16:00] people can't sit still and do meditation. So what is running meditation? And, you know, it's [00:16:03] J. Maceo: funny, I'll tell you now I do this still meditation also. I've learned it. I did it this morning for about 20 minutes. Uh, and that's when people, so I think, uh, you know, people look at meditation as you have to do it one way or you're doing it wrong.[00:16:19] And I think, you know, back to, uh, you know, if you look at the recovery community, there's one of the steps that, you know, talks about, uh, getting conscious contact with God or your higher power through prayer and meditation. And I always tell everybody the kind of crux of that isn't prayer or meditation, it's conscious contact.[00:16:37] So I look at my meditation, can't be wrong if it brings me into conscious contact when something greater than me. So my running meditation, what I would do when I ran, I would. And all of a sudden I would feed myself with positive the whole way. You know, I feed myself, I'm loving. I am kind. I am, [00:17:00] because whenever you attach, I am too is like, that's okay.[00:17:03] Powerful two words. And that's what we become. That's what we act like. So just running right. I'm wealthy. I live in a friendly universe. I'm in all this. I played through my head over and over again on a loop saying it to myself as I ran. And what would happen was, as I said that, and my heart's beating fast.[00:17:20] I get an elevated emotion. There's something. I think that happened when you have a thought and mix that with an elevated, positive emotion. I think there's something magical had happened where we draw what we're trying to manifest to, uh, to ourselves. So I would do that. And the reason I would do that is because I figured if I did that while I was running and I put that all through my head consciously that, that stuff, even when I was walking or in my regular state would bleed over into my unconscious.[00:17:50] De'Vannon: Okay. So what you were saying is you yes. Your subconscious mind, so you attached, um, positive affirmations. Were they positive physical feeling, right? This, [00:18:00] there could technically be, uh, combined with any sort of thing that gives a person a positive physical sensation. So maybe fencing, um, maybe sex might be kind of positive [00:18:13] J. Maceo: assets that can be spiritual people say, oh God.[00:18:15] Oh God.[00:18:20] De'Vannon: Yeah. And so that, um, that reminds me of anchoring. And we were talking earlier because we both, um, have training and hypnotherapy, but you know, the, you know, and having been it hypnosis, you know, we talk about anchoring, you know, positive things to replace negative things in like the subconscious and things like that.[00:18:46] And so that, that, that reminded me. Of that. Well, since we talking about the hip hitting the therapy, uh we'll go ahead and talk about it now. Yeah. I, I went to hypnosis motivation Institute [00:19:00] HMI, which is in Tarzana, California, which is Los Angeles, California. That's how I spent the pandemic work on my, uh, hitting the therapy training here.[00:19:08] And now what classes are that you take there? [00:19:11] J. Maceo: It is so funny. So, uh, I went, uh, through, I went through 1 0 1 where you start to, I think I left in 4 0 1. Uh, one of the reasons I did leave is because I know people at my church were like, you know, oh, I can't believe you're doing this. That's kind of crazy stuff.[00:19:28] Uh, you know, if, if somebody, if you told me, you know, that, you know, you were doing hypnotherapy, I would think you didn't believe in Jesus. I got a lot of that. Uh, but I got, I took some great courses, you know, Uh, different courses on, you know, what hypnosis was, uh, how to hypnotize people. I was big on the countdown induction.[00:19:48] Like that was my big thing, not the arm raising, but the countdown, I did that with people sometimes, you know, at parties or just, you know, sitting around, uh, dream analysis was really [00:20:00] great. And I wish that I would use some more of those tools right now. I keep a pad by the bed and really allow myself to, to, to process and to, uh, lean from my, uh, more from my subconscious.[00:20:15] But this is something, and I'm glad I read that you went to Asia, my to, uh, because I went there a while back, but one of the things that I didn't think about, I haven't thought about this for years until, uh, yesterday, uh, my going by J Macio has its roots in at Hmm. And this is how so I used to sign my name.[00:20:39] I can just say my name. Uh, John M Wilkes informacion, John M wilt the second. And when I was an HMI, we took a handwriting. And the handwriting analysis course talked about, you know, different things and you know, how you, uh, express different things, underlining a name, putting accidentally [00:21:00] crossing through a name and all this sort of thing.[00:21:02] And for some reason, I love my first initial and my middle name. So from that moment on, I started signing. My name is Jay Macio Wilkes the second. Uh, and I love the people. Very seldom somebody would call me Jay Macio. But, uh, recently I was like, you know what? I love this name. You look up John Wilkes, you're going to get John Wilkes booth.[00:21:24] Uh, but Jay Macio and I feel like there's a, uh, a difference there. A good difference that lets me be Jay Macio I'd say is more creative. Uh, but yeah, I mean, I learned, I don't want to get too far away from the atrium. I learned a lot there. Do you finish that, uh, school? Uh, wish I had [00:21:44] De'Vannon: online do it online from your home at your convenience.[00:21:49] The modules are just there. You can just take them whenever you got like 18 months to finish it. You don't have to like, meet with an instructor at a certain time or anything like that. Oh, well, [00:22:00] now that you do have an instructor, if you want to ask questions and things like that, and you do leave feedback after every module, and if you need a phone call, you know, and all of that, then sure you can do that.[00:22:11] But that's not a part of it. I tried to talk to instructors at least as possible because that's not what I needed them for. I wanted to go through this and learn it at my own pace. And that's exactly what I was able to do. [00:22:22] J. Maceo: Oh, wow. Well, you know, when I went there, one of the good things though, they gave you free a couple of free hypnotherapy sessions.[00:22:29] So they match you up with somebody and you get a couple of free sessions with that. I like, you know what? I, it's funny. I did not even think about this until recently. So when I went there, this was years, years ago, um, they taught us, you know, self hypnosis. Which, you know, a lot of folks would just look at as meditation.[00:22:51] I think about it now, but you know, we learned kind of self-hypnosis and how, one of the things I loved is I would do that on the [00:23:00] way there maybe 15 minutes on a bus, I would do that. And there was something in that relaxing my mind and getting like the speaking to myself that I felt like I had slept a whole eight hours in 15 minutes.[00:23:15] So that's something that I loved from, uh, that I learned from that place. [00:23:19] De'Vannon: That's what it's all about, man. And I recommend learning hypnotherapy to everybody. Whenever I adopt some children, they go and through the course, then go the people on the world, I can probably make, do something, but because you really got to want to learn a lot about yourself.[00:23:35] To do hypnotherapy and that really, really stay there. I went originally to combine it, to learn those modalities, to get certified, to combine it with what, with my massage therapy practice, because I'm also a licensed massage therapy, but then Ms. Corona came to town and then I closed the massage therapy business.[00:23:52] And so, but in the process of learning about the mind, I realized I'm fucked up myself. I don't need to be working on nobody else. So then I turned more towards the [00:24:00] self-hypnosis aspect of it and I'm in my God had covered a lot of stuff. So, um, talk to me about gratitude and, um, and why you think operating, because we were talking about the positive emotions that you associated when you were running with your positive affirmations.[00:24:23] When people think about gratitude, they talk about. That as well as being like a very high vibration. And so talk to us about gratitude and why it's so important to just be thankful. [00:24:36] J. Maceo: Well, you know, it is important. I mean, I have a list of five guys today. It was six, but that I sent in the gratitude list to every single day.[00:24:46] Uh, and some of them, uh, you know, send them back some don't, but the reason gratitude is so important. A couple of reasons. Uh, the first one is that it does put me in a positive state. So what happens [00:25:00] is that, you know, whatever I think about. You know, that's what my world is going to be about this whole, like, you know, confirmation bias that I'm going to prioritize information that agrees with my existing belief system.[00:25:13] So if I think this this way, and I see a hundred things that say it's other way, but I see one thing that agrees with me, I'm going to stick to the thing that's agreeing with me. So in gratitude, what I do is that I actively make myself think about things to be thankful for. And what happens is that I become a thankful person rather than mean, and this is the thing, because if I sit around long enough, I can think about the things that I don't have.[00:25:42] I can think about the things that I'm scared of. I can think about the things that I'm mad about, and then I can feel like life hasn't given me a good day. And when I feel like that, I walk around acting like somebody who life has not given a good hand. So when I get into gratitude and for me and do [00:26:00] five things, some people do 10, so people do three.[00:26:02] But when I still at list every day, at least one time a day, I'm sitting down thinking of things that I'm thankful for. And what that does is it puts me in a more positive space, but it also puts me in a space to receive. Because if I think a lot of us, I would say this, a lot of us are getting gifts and blessings every day that we just ignore.[00:26:31] And there's something about gratitude that makes me say, you know what? I want to shine the light on the things that are working in my favor. And then that shine the light on just these few things that are working out in my favor. All of a sudden, I see what. I got this thing. Wait a second. I got the parking space yesterday.[00:26:47] Wait a second. And all of a sudden I become a thankful person as I do that, my vibration, my energy changes, and I draw, and I'll say this, I know a bit, a little rambling for a little bit, but what happens [00:27:00] is I'm alone. That when I get in a space of gratitude and happiness to my bed, beration is higher. What I do is I attract a lot of those things that people are just running around and trying to chase where my vibration is higher, because I'm thankful and I'm grateful and I'm happy.[00:27:16] And I appreciate what I have all of a sudden things that I want just attract to me  That's all we have for the free version of the sex drugs and Jesus podcast, my beautiful people.

This week on Over The Farm Gate, we're talking about US President Elect Joe Biden and how he could bring big changes for US agriculture and a trade deal with the UK. Alex Black asks Farmers Guardian's Washington based columnist John Wilkes how Biden's pro-EU stance could affect the UK post Brexit and gets the lowdown on what Biden's term in office might mean for global agriculture. Last week, we looked at how Covid was causing a flight of young people from cities to rural areas and how this could be a huge opportunity for the countryside to reinvigorate rural economies. This week we ask, how can we make the countryside somewhere young people want to live and thrive?To delve into this, Jez Fredenburgh is joined by; Jane Craigie, director and co-founder of the Rural Youth Project, and managing director of Jane Craigie Marketing; and Ffion Storer-Jones, a rural young person and researcher, who also sits on the board of the Rural Youth Project and divides her time between her family farm in Wales, and her job in Brussels.

A popular actor, John Wilkes Booth used his professional access to Ford's Theater to assassinate President Lincoln. John Wilkes Booth In April of 1865, Booth was an American celebrity.  Having earned as much as 20,000 dollars a year, the equivalent of over 600, 000 dollars today, Booth was also described as the handsomest man in America and discretely involved with Lucy Hale, the daughter of a US Senator.  But Booth was also a Confederate sympathizer and a virulent racist who was enraged by Lee's surrender and negatively obsessed with Abraham Lincoln, especially after the President stated that black Union soldiers should be granted the right to vote. John Wilkes Booth's boyhood home, Tudor Hall Junius Booth provided his family a rural log cabin home near Bel Air as well as a residence in central Baltimore.  Eventually, he constructed a more ornate residence near the log cabin which was called Tudor Hall.  It was probably fortunate that John Wilkes was sent to boarding school as a teenager, a development that afforded him distance from his father's glum and occasionally violent personality.  The derringer used to kill President Abraham Lincoln Gripping and turning the doorknob, Booth timed his entrance perfectly, the entire audience focused on a highpoint of the play.  Following this access, Booth reached into the deep right pocket of his jacket, retrieved his derringer and cocked the hammer. The knife used by Booth during the assassination The box was briefly illuminated by the flash of the gun's muzzle, the .44 caliber round entering the President's skull, at a diagonal which began at the lower left of the head, below the ear and, travelling upward, lodging behind the right eye.  Abraham Lincoln slumped forward, his chin resting on his chest as if he had fallen asleep.  For a split second the entire theater sat silently motionless and confused.  Only Major Henry Rathbone moved towards the wild eyed intruder who had invaded the box.  Booth raised his knife, fully intent on stabbing Rathbone to death but the Major was able to parry the assassin's downward thrust with his arm, incurring a deep wound near the elbow. David Herold Of his three co-conspirators, Herold was the most valuable to Booth at this point of his flight.  The 22 year old was an experienced outdoorsman and hunter who knew this area of the Maryland landscape, even in the darkness.  Although jubilant about his attack, Booth's broken leg was starting to cause him great difficulty.  When the pair reached Surrattville, it was Herold who pounded on the door to wake up the already sleeping proprietor of the tavern, John Lloyd.  Lloyd retrieved the two rifles and field glasses most likely mentioned by Mrs. Suratt earlier that evening, but Booth took only the field glasses, his injury wouldn't allow him to hoist a gun.  Herold got a bottle of whiskey as well and he and Booth took some generous swallows before paying the innkeeper a dollar as well as regaling him with the stunning news that they had killed the President and Secretary of State.  Lloyd was terrified and reacted by beseeching both men to leave as quickly as possible. Lewis Powell, under arrest About a mile away on Madison Place, the home of Secretary of State William Seward was also the scene of terrible carnage.  Seward was already convalescing from the effects of an April 9 carriage accident that broke his arm and jaw.  Lewis Powell would use these injuries to gain entrance to Seward's brick mansion.  David Herold, a pharmacist assistant by trade, helped concoct a small butcher paper package tied with string that Powell would claim was medicine prescribed by Seward's doctor.  Powell and Herold waited until the rooms of the mansion were darkened and the occupants were heading for bed.  As Herold looked on, Lewis Powell handed him his horse and made his way to Seward's front door.  A black, nineteen year old servant named William Bell answered the knock.  In front of him stood a well dressed man with a small package.  Powell claimed he had medicine for Seward and even knew the proper name of the physician.  Bell accepted this explanation but became adamant that Powell would have to leave the medicine with him.  Powell ignored him, pushed his way inside and began to ascend the stairway to the second floor.  At the top of the stairs stood Frederick Seaward, son of the Secretary, who also requested that Powell give him the medicine as the Secretary was asleep and could not be disturbed.  Powell again insisted that the medicine must be delivered personally.  Unbeknownst to Powell, Seward's bedroom was only a few feet away.  At this critical moment, Seaward's daughter, Fanny, who was bedside attending her father, opened the bedroom door and told her brother that actually her father was awake.  Now Powell knew exactly where his prey was but rather than aggressively barging his way in, he continued to argue with Fred Seward who insisted he either leave the medicine or go back to the doctor.  Powell seemed to acquiesce but in the split second of walking down the stairs and satisfying Seward's son that he was leaving, he quickly whirled, drawing a pistol from his coat pocket.  Pointing it directly at Seward's face, he pulled the trigger for what should have been a fatal gunshot.  The gun misfired with an ominous click, but Powell began to pistol whip the smaller man into submission while William Bell ran down the stairs and out into the street shouting “murder” at the top of his lungs.  After beating Fred Seward half to death, Lewis Powell tossed him aside and turned his attention to his father's bedroom door. Dr. Samuel Mudd Booth sensed that his leg needed immediate medical attention, especially if he was to successfully escape.  He thought of Dr. Samuel Mudd, but knew Mudd lived in a rural area that is isolated even today, near the small town of Bryantown, MD.  Seventeen miles from Surrattville, it took fours hours to get to their destination, and without Herold, Booth never would have found the narrow path that lead to the doctor's two story, bright white home.  At four in the morning, Herold began to pound on another door that Dr. Mudd warily and eventually answered.  Booth hung back just as wary as Mudd.  Herold explained that there had been a riding accident on the way to Washington and his companion had broken his leg.  Mudd recognized Booth as he emerged from the shadows and helped him up the stairs.  Julius Caesar, New York, 1864. John Wilkes, Edwin and Junius Booth Following his Boston performances, Booth then refused any additional work,  appearing on November 25, 1864 in New York with his two brothers in Shakespeare's  “Julius Caesar.”  Booth promised to participate in this benefit celebrating 300 years of the author's birth, proceeds to be donated to construct a statue of the Bard in Central Park, which still stands. Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton One of the first senior government officials to arrive on the scene at the Peterson House was Secretary of War Edwin Stanton.  Stanton had already been to the Seward home after being informed of the attack by a messenger as he prepared for bed.  Eventually hearing about the President, Stanton resolved to go to the vicinity of Ford's Theater and take charge of the situation as quickly as possible.
