Hilary Lifton is not one to boast, and I write that with more understatement than you can imagine.I was introduced to her recently at a party by someone who said she was a big ghostwriter. When I asked her about her career, she mentioned working on a self-help book.It was only when I Googled her later that I learned she has written 16 New York Times bestsellers and is one of the most sought-after ghostwriters alive. (While she chooses not to name her bold-faced clients, you can find out who some of them are by going to her site.)I've never had such an interesting conversation about ghostwriting and I challenge you that you've probably not heard one. I know that's setting expectations quite high but I'm ready to meet them!

Dems are laughing about Donny Dentures or #TrumpisDone, but the reality inside his head, and Mar a Lago, will be very grim, and there will be a lot of collateral damage. Mental health titans like Robert Lifton have reached the consensus that Trump has been mentally ill for a long time. They've diagnosed him with “narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, paranoid personality disorder, delusional disorder, malignant narcissist,” and so on. Such patients meet predictable ends when the wheels fall off. In the cult world (where Lifton has been so influential), there are bangs (Jim Jones) and there are whimpers (Keith Raniere). What might it look like for Trump? No one is more qualified to discuss the possibilities with Matthew than Daniel Shaw, LCSW, a psychotherapist trained in psychoanalysis as well as in trauma-informed psychotherapies. He is in private practice in New York City and in Nyack, New York; and Faculty and Supervisor at The National Institute for the Psychotherapies in New York.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 90 Regardless of the issue (BLM, Drag Queen Story Hour, Pride, or a college uprising), the ideological totalism of Woke Marxism uses classic tactics to advance itself. One of those is a kind of manipulation through what is called "planned spontaneity," a clear oxymoron. Planned spontaneity is a "mystical manipulation," in the words of Robert Jay Lifton, that gives the totalizing cult the appearance of incredible, widespread, organic support, if not omniscience. The current pro-Hamas (or pro-Palestine) student uprisings are no exception. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this phenomenon through the lens of Lifton's work, particularly indicating how the current Red-Guard student uprisings fit into this fake, manipulative frame of reference.

In this captivating episode, we explore Bob Jones University in-depth, examining its characteristics and practices through the lens of cult analysis. Drawing from the renowned works of cult expert Steven Hassan's BITE model and psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton's Criteria for Thought Reform, we unravel the complex dynamics at play within this institution.We meticulously examine the various elements of the BITE model, including behavior control, information control, thought control, and emotional control, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the institution's influence and power dynamics. We delve into the ways in which Bob Jones University exhibits traits identified in Lifton's Criteria for Thought Reform.Connect with Andrew PledgerSocial Media: https://andrewpledger.mypixieset.com/linksJoin my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/4ndrewpledgerMore stories on 'Beyond BJU' on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms.Sources: https://www.tumblr.com/survivingbjupodcast/726104816669081600/sources?source=share Hosted on Acast.

I speak with the acclaimed psychiatrist and my mentor, Robert Jay Lifton, M.D., about his new book, Surviving Our Catastrophes: Resilience and Renewal from Hiroshima to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Lifton's research on thought reform and the psychology of totalism, specifically his study on “brainwashing” in China, has been widely regarded as groundbreaking. His book Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism (1961) was used in my deprogramming. It was Lifton who encouraged my career which has spanned 47 years. In this new book, Lifton delves into “Survivor Power” and the transformation from victimhood to survivorship. He emphasizes the importance of drawing on the knowledge and wisdom gained from surviving traumatic experiences to continue living meaningful lives. The book takes inspiration from historical examples of survivors who have endured unimaginable suffering and trauma. Lifton highlights the remarkable responses of individuals who, in the face of unspeakable horror, have created activist movements, converted their experiences into art and literature, and demonstrated the resilience of the human spirit. From the people of Hiroshima, who responded to the atomic bombing by creating an activist “city of peace,” to the survivors of Nazi death camps who combated mass killing and showcased their healing through art and literature, these examples serve as beacons of hope.

Michael J. Diamond's book Ruptures in the American Psyche: Containing Destructive Populism in Perilous Times (Phoenix Publishing, 2022) describes Trumpism: the strong allegiance to former President Donald Trump that is in evidence among a sizable portion of the US population. How did Trump come to be elected in 2016, and who supported him during his presidential tenure - and why? How is it that he continues to hold cult-like status, exerting a strong influence not only on many individuals but also on numerous elected officials, despite his defeat in 2020? Why does his character continue to be an object of fascination even among anti-Trumpists, and why will Trumpism continue to play a major role in the American sociopolitical landscape even now he has left the presidential stage? Diamond ponders these questions through the lenses of American history and culture, political theory, social phenomena, group dynamics, and psychoanalysis. In exploring the relationship between large-group regression, cultism, destructive populism, delusional thinking, conspiratorial beliefs, authoritarianism, and leadership characterised by narcissism and paranoia, psychoanalytic ideas pertaining to group dynamics, malignant regression, and leadership are brought into play. Prominent psychoanalytic thinkers who have addressed these topics and whose work usefully contributes to the discussion include Bion, Freud, Fromm, Bollas, Kernberg, Lifton, Rosenfeld, and Volkan, as well as Bleger, Jaques, and several more recent Kleinian/Bionian-influenced analysts. Most important, the book makes use of these understandings to reestablish a sufficiently containing frame that strengthens the body politics' nonpathological elements in order to come to grips with these disturbing factors. Whatever their political beliefs, psychoanalysts in the US and worldwide will find much to think about in reading this book's application of their discipline to today's sociopolitical environment. In addition, the book's insights extend beyond arguments targeting a strictly psychoanalytic audience in order to reach social and political thinkers, as well as activists, who are deeply concerned about dangers threatening the very foundations of democracy in the US and worldwide. And finally, the thoughtful lay person will appreciate the accessibility to all these fields that the book provides, and will come away with a much deeper understanding of just what motivates us to take a stand for or against a given political figure. In short, conceptual tools are provided that lead to greater understanding as well as effective strategies and tactics for containment of destructive forces - largely unconscious ones - that imperil our society.

Michael J. Diamond's book Ruptures in the American Psyche: Containing Destructive Populism in Perilous Times (Phoenix Publishing, 2022) describes Trumpism: the strong allegiance to former President Donald Trump that is in evidence among a sizable portion of the US population. How did Trump come to be elected in 2016, and who supported him during his presidential tenure - and why? How is it that he continues to hold cult-like status, exerting a strong influence not only on many individuals but also on numerous elected officials, despite his defeat in 2020? Why does his character continue to be an object of fascination even among anti-Trumpists, and why will Trumpism continue to play a major role in the American sociopolitical landscape even now he has left the presidential stage? Diamond ponders these questions through the lenses of American history and culture, political theory, social phenomena, group dynamics, and psychoanalysis. In exploring the relationship between large-group regression, cultism, destructive populism, delusional thinking, conspiratorial beliefs, authoritarianism, and leadership characterised by narcissism and paranoia, psychoanalytic ideas pertaining to group dynamics, malignant regression, and leadership are brought into play. Prominent psychoanalytic thinkers who have addressed these topics and whose work usefully contributes to the discussion include Bion, Freud, Fromm, Bollas, Kernberg, Lifton, Rosenfeld, and Volkan, as well as Bleger, Jaques, and several more recent Kleinian/Bionian-influenced analysts. Most important, the book makes use of these understandings to reestablish a sufficiently containing frame that strengthens the body politics' nonpathological elements in order to come to grips with these disturbing factors. Whatever their political beliefs, psychoanalysts in the US and worldwide will find much to think about in reading this book's application of their discipline to today's sociopolitical environment. In addition, the book's insights extend beyond arguments targeting a strictly psychoanalytic audience in order to reach social and political thinkers, as well as activists, who are deeply concerned about dangers threatening the very foundations of democracy in the US and worldwide. And finally, the thoughtful lay person will appreciate the accessibility to all these fields that the book provides, and will come away with a much deeper understanding of just what motivates us to take a stand for or against a given political figure. In short, conceptual tools are provided that lead to greater understanding as well as effective strategies and tactics for containment of destructive forces - largely unconscious ones - that imperil our society.

Deep Cut pulls from our bonus episode archive to unearth previous ideas that remain relevant today. Survivor shame over what has been lost, and how one has been complicit. Apologist shame: turned inside out and externalized as aggression. Popular shaming, which tries to deflect attention from how close to home cultic dynamics really are. In the cult landscape, shame is a common denominator. In this contemplation, Matthew unpacks various aspects, with help from the writing of cult theorists and recovery counselors Alexandra Stein, Daniel Shaw, and Holocaust survivor Primo Levi.

VIDEO: L'efficace propaganda del regime nazista ➜ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E0qCFor2UATESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7481LA PROPAGANDA NAZISTA AL CINEMA CONVINSE I MEDICI AD APPLICARE I PROTOCOLLI di Luisella ScrosatiDomenica scorsa, ci interrogavamo su quali dinamiche permettano ad un sistema totalitario di svilupparsi. Ma bisogna anche chiedersi come è stato possibile evitare una reazione difensiva della società. La messa in opera, da parte del Reich, del sistema di uccisione medica diretta è un ottimo esempio di come poter arrivare a distruggere il corpo sociale, non solo con l'intento di salvarlo da presunti mali peggiori, ma evitando una reazione, per così dire, "immunitaria". Perché probabilmente tutti inorridiremmo al pensiero che dei militari possano situarsi lungo le strade e iniziare a sparare a quanti ritengono non essere degni di vivere.L'IMPORTANZA DEI MEDIA NELLA PROPAGANDA NAZISTAEppure, la storia e il presente mostrano ad abundantiam che è sufficiente qualche accortezza per poter arrivare allo stesso obiettivo e ottenere persino il consenso delle persone. I nazisti sfruttarono il grande mezzo di persuasione di massa dell'epoca: il cinema. Vennero realizzati numerosi film-documentari per mostrare come le tare ereditarie avrebbero potuto nuocere alla sopravvivenza della società: non vi era dubbio che la scientificità della legge della selezione naturale era in grado di predire con certezza quale sarebbe stata la sorte di un popolo, se non avesse provveduto con "metodi umani" a recuperare la salute del corpo sociale. La medicina era lì, bontà sua, per sostenere e realizzare la prevenzione.Das Erbe (L'eredità - 1935), Opfer der Vergangenheit (Vittima del passato - 1937), Ich Klage an (Io accuso - 1941) furono proiettati in migliaia di cinematografi della Germania, con lo scopo di acclimatare il popolo tedesco alla necessità e bontà dell'eutanasia. Era soprattutto il tema della scientificità e della compassione che venivano toccati. Di particolare interesse è il fatto che in Ich Klage an l'eutanasia esplicita veniva presentata per la prima volta al pubblico come l'atto di pietà di un medico, il prof. Thomas Heyt, verso la propria moglie, che lo prega di mettere fine alle proprie sofferenze. L'enfasi era posta sulla libera scelta della donna, ma già si intuiva che vi erano persone incapaci, verso cui lo Stato avrebbe dovuto esercitare la propria "responsabilità".Diversi tra i medici ex-nazisti intervistati da Robert J. Lifton potevano dire, dopo quarant'anni, che il film esercitava su di loro ancora una certa influenza e che era stato la ragione di continue e vivaci discussioni tra colleghi. Il film fu in sostanza la finestra di Overton dell'epoca, che riscontrò il successo auspicato: «La risposta di questi medici fu confermata dalla relazione conclusiva di una ricerca condotta dal Servizio di Sicurezza (Sicherheitsdienst, o SD) delle SS, il quale affermò che il film aveva "suscitato grande interesse" nell'intero Reich ed era stato "favorevolmente accolto e discusso", e che la maggioranza della popolazione tedesca accettava in linea di principio il ragionamento, con qualche riserva concernente possibili abusi e questioni di consenso» (R. J. Lifton, I medici nazisti. Storia degli scienziati che divennero i torturatori di Hitler, BUR, Milano 2022, p. 77).IL MEDICO PUÒ UCCIDEREIn sostanza, era passata l'idea che il medico potesse uccidere. A rendere titubanti le persone era semplicemente la possibilità che si commettessero "abusi"; mentre tra i medici la preoccupazione era relativa all'esattezza della diagnosi. Per tranquillizzare tutti, la parola d'ordine fu: "più Scienza". Si optò infatti per la «convocazione di una commissione medica in presenza del medico di famiglia per dichiarare un paziente incurabile; ossia, affidando la decisione a medici» (ivi). La presenza dei sacerdoti della scienza medica era sufficiente per far obliare che, con o senza consenso del paziente, si stava affermando che era lecito uccidere innocenti.Sappiamo come andò a finire, arrivando persino all'uccisione dei bambini. Ma a gettare ancora più luce sulla vicenda è la descrizione di quella che Lifton chiama la situazione medica del "come se": «Tutti procedevano come se quei bambini fossero effettivamente destinati a ricevere i doni della scienza medica, come se dovessero essere guariti invece che uccisi». Questa falsificazione serviva a celare il tutto agli occhi delle famiglie e della società, ma anche e soprattutto «a soddisfare i bisogni psicologici degli assassini esprimendo letteralmente il rovesciamento nazista di terapia e uccisione» (p. 84). I medici riferivano ai genitori che era necessario un intervento chirurgico delicato o che dovevano essere usate terapie straordinarie, per poter così usare dosi elevate di luminal (un barbiturico) per sedare i bambini. Nella sua deposizione in tribunale, il dott. Hans Heinze (1895-1983) ancora sosteneva che non erano del tutto menzogne: «"Un bambino molto eccitabile... completamente idiota... non poteva essere mantenuto tranquillo con la dose normale di sedativi", cosicché "si doveva... usarne una dose molto forte per... evitare che il bambino provocasse danni a se stesso attraverso la sua irrequietezza". Al tempo stesso, "noi medici sappiamo che una tale dose eccessiva di un sedativo, nel caso dei bambini, di solito luminal... potrebbe causare la polmonite... e che questa è virtualmente incurabile"» (p. 84).LA BUROCRATIZZAZIONE COME SCUSANTEEra una giustificazione necessaria per persuadere gli altri, ma anche per mettere a tacere quella parte di sé che ben sapeva cosa stava facendo: uccidere. Un altro modo per ridurre al minimo la possibilità di rimorsi e ravvedimenti era la complessa struttura medico-burocratica, la quale faceva sì che la responsabilità fosse distribuita su così tante persone, da risultarne, per così dire, diluita: le levatrici e i medici di famiglia o degli istituti dovevano "solo" segnalare, i direttori degli istituti dovevano "solo" controllare le segnalazioni, gli esperti "solo" fornire opinioni, i funzionari del Ministero della Sanità "solo" occuparsi dei moduli, i medici dovevano "solo" prescrivere il luminal e farlo assumere al bambino (o iniettarlo). «In nessun punto della lunga sequenza (...) c'era un senso di responsabilità personale, o addirittura di coinvolgimento, nell'assassinio di un essere umano. Ogni partecipante poteva sentirsi ridotto al rango di non più di una piccola rotella in una grande macchina medica che aveva la sanzione ufficiale dello Stato» (p. 85).In questa burocratizzazione, c'era spazio per puntare il dito sulla responsabilità altrui. I medici più prossimi all'atto omicida si difendevano dicendo che non avevano alcuna autorità di mettere in questione le decisioni politiche né il giudizio del comitato dei tre esperti. Uno di loro riferiva che «questi bambini erano già condannati a morte sui loro rapporti di trasferimento» verso le strutture che praticavano l'eutanasia. I tre esperti, a loro volta, dovevano dare il loro parere senza nemmeno vedere il bambino, ma solo sulla base di un questionario distribuito dal Ministero della Sanità, compilato dalle levatrici e da altri medici. Il parere degli esperti era quanto di più burocratico si possa immaginare: un segno + significava che si doveva procedere al "trattamento" o, al contrario, un segno -. Dal canto loro gli amministratori del programma eutanasico sui bambini ribadivano con forza che i medici non erano tenuti ad attuare per forza l'eutanasia nei casi specifici: avevano la facoltà di, ma non l'obbligo.Il dottor F., intervistato da Lifton, poteva confermare che «non c'era né un comando diretto ("Se avessi ricevuto l'ordine di uccidere... non so, ma [penso che] avrei rifiutato... ma certamente non ci davano ordini del genere") né un omicidio manifesto ("Voglio dire che se avessimo mandato un'infermiera da un letto all'altro a sparare a questi bambini... la cosa non avrebbe funzionato"). Di conseguenza, "non c'era uccisione, parlando in senso rigoroso... Si pensava che questo non fosse 'uccidere' [ma] 'mettere a dormire'"» (pp. 88-89).
VIDEO: Quattro chiacchiere con Silver Nervuti ➜ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tabd1pVdTegTESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7477COME I MEDICI GARANTIRONO UN'APPARENZA DI SCIENTIFICITA' AL NAZISMO di Luisella ScrosatiQuando pensiamo ai totalitarismi del Novecento, l'associazione più immediata è quella razzismo-nazismo e statalismo-comunismo. Che il raggiungimento della purezza della razza ariana fosse il più forte motore ideologico di tutto il sistema che ruotava attorno ad Adolf Hitler non credo sia contestabile. Né vi sono dubbi che la statalizzazione dei mezzi di produzione e del capitale fosse l'obiettivo verso cui orientare ogni azione criminale del sistema sovietico. Analogamente, la volontà di eliminare gli ebrei da una parte e quella dello sterminio dei kulaki dall'altra sono realtà storiche ampiamente suffragate.Tuttavia, ritenere che queste fossero le uniche componenti dei due sistemi totalitari, sufficienti per comprendere quanto accaduto, insieme ad un lato quasi demoniaco di coloro che si prestavano ad atti gravemente immorali pur di attuare l'ideologia, è decisamente riduttivo. Aspetti che portano la nostra generazione a ritenere di non avere nulla a che spartire con quei due sistemi. Il che è sotto certi aspetti vero. Ma le domande da porsi sono altre: sono rinvenibili delle strutture e delle dinamiche fondamentali che consentano a un sistema totalitario di nascere, crescere e rafforzarsi, a prescindere dal volto storico con cui si presenta? Banalmente: è possibile riconoscere il malfattore da alcune caratteristiche apparentemente non così evidenti, anche se cambia l'abbigliamento, la capigliatura, il modo di parlare?PERSONE NORMALI POSSONO COMMETTERE ATTI DEMONIACIIn un lavoro monumentale, Robert Jay Lifton, psichiatra quasi centenario, che ha dedicato i studi alle tecniche di riforma del pensiero (lavaggio del cervello) in Cina e ai rapporti tra psicologia delle persone e storia, mostra i tratti comuni, non immediatamente rinvenibili, di quanti hanno tenuto in vita il regime nazista e hanno reso possibili le grandi iniquità di cui siamo (forse) a conoscenza. Lunghe interviste a 41 ex-nazisti, di cui 29 medici, e 80 ex-internati che avevano lavorato nei blocchi medici hanno permesso di portare alla luce aspetti molto interessanti. Anzitutto, «l'inquietante verità psicologica che la partecipazione all'eccidio di massa non richiede necessariamente emozioni così estreme o demoniache quali sembrerebbero appropriate a un progetto così malvagio. O, per esprimerci in un altro modo, persone normali possono commettere atti demoniaci» (R. J. Lifton, I medici nazisti. Storia degli scienziati che divennero i torturatori di Hitler, BUR, Milano 2022, p. 19).Quali condizioni dunque possono portare una persona normale a compiere «atti demoniaci»? Lifton ha fiutato che la pista da percorrere era quella medica: non solo perché senza il coinvolgimento dei medici sarebbe stato impossibile mettere concretamente in atto un piano di eliminazione degli "indegni di vivere", ma soprattutto perché era fondamentale ancorarsi ad una giustificazione medico-scientifica di quanto si stava operando. Lifting l'ha battezzata medicalized killing, omicidio medicalizzato o medicalmente giustificato, non solo possibile, ma necessario all'interno del preteso controllo totale sulla vita e sulla morte. Il progetto nazista, spiega Lifton, puntava ad «una visione di controllo assoluto sul processo evolutivo, sul futuro umano biologico» (p. 36).Si trattava di una vera e propria «biocrazia», nella quale tutto era orientato al supremo principio biologico, che ovviamente aveva rivendicato la propria fondazione scientifica, e al quale si prestarono luminari ed esperti di ogni ambito, soprattutto medico. «Come si espresse un sopravvissuto che era stato testimone attento di questo processo: "Auschwitz fu come un'operazione chirurgica" e "il programma di sterminio fu diretto da medici dal principio alla fine"» (p. 38). Il regime aveva l'ossessione delle scienze biologiche, al punto che, nel 1934, il generale Rudolf Hess (1894-1987), per sei anni vice di Hitler, fino alla "promozione" del generale Hermann W. Göring (1893-1946), poteva dire, davanti a tutti gli aderenti al partito, che «il nazionalismo non è altro che biologia applicata». In sostanza, organizzazione scientifica della società.Il passaggio fondamentale per nazificare la medicina e renderla strumento adeguato per il progetto biocratico era quello di mettere ai margini la sua vocazione alla cura del malato, per trasformarla in uno strumento di perfezionamento della società. Non doveri verso il singolo, ma verso la collettività. Il manuale del dott. Rudolf Ramm, della facoltà di Medicina dell'Università di Berlino, Ärztliche Rechts- und Standeskunde (1943), testo di etica medica assai influente, aveva spinto verso questa decisiva "apertura" della medicina: «Il medico doveva interessarsi alla sanità del Volk ancor più che alle malattie dell'individuo e doveva insegnare alla gente a superare il vecchio principio individualistico del "diritto al proprio corpo" e ad abbracciare invece il "dovere di essere sani"» (p. 53).CORSI E RICORSI STORICICorsi e ricorsi storici. Il diritto al proprio corpo e alla propria salute deve cedere il passo alla salute del corpo collettivo, in nome della quale è dunque possibile obbligare chiunque ad adottare soluzioni sanitarie di volta in volta ritenute scientificamente evidenti. La classe medica - che nel frattempo era divenuta un insieme di funzionari dello Stato in camice bianco - diventa così uno strumento imprescindibile per poter "mantenere sano" l'organismo sociale e per poter eliminare tutto quello che è considerato pericoloso, secondo la visione "scientifica" adottata, incluse persone in carne e ossa. Le massicce campagne di sterilizzazione ed eutanasia dal parte del Reich si comprendono solo alla luce di questa medicalizzazione della società e della nuova vocazione della medicina.È interessante notare che, dal punto di vista giuridico, nella Germania nazista gli aborti erano proibiti; eppure «i tribunali per la sterilizzazione potevano ordinare l'interruzione della gravidanza per ragioni eugeniche in situazioni di "emergenza razziale"» (p. 70). La tanto cara e flessibile emergenza, sempre utile per fare esattamente il contrario di quanto prevede la legge, senza la briga di dover cambiare la legge.L'emergenza aveva reso flessibili anche i medici. Come il ginecologo Carl Clauberg (1898-1957), professore universitario, che aveva fatto numerose ricerche sugli ormoni femminili, per trattare la sterilità della donna, ma che, dopo l'incontro con Himmler, si era reinventato come ricercatore di metodi non chirurgici per la sterilizzazione di massa. La sfida era quella di sterilizzare più persone in meno tempo possibile; ideò così l'iniezione di formaldeide, direttamente nell'utero, senza anestesia. Degli effetti avversi ovviamente non interessava niente a nessuno, sebbene nel gruppo di prova, formato rigorosamente da donne ebree e rom, ci fossero stati anche dei decessi. Sempre corsi e ricorsi: basta sostituire al verbo "sterilizzare" qualcos'altro.Clauberg tornò poi al suo primo amore, le ricerche sulla sterilità, diventando, come se nulla fosse, direttore di un istituto: la Città delle Madri. Clauberg purtroppo non fu un caso isolato: «Benché alcuni medici abbiano opposto resistenza, e molti abbiano avuto poca simpatia per i nazisti, come professione i medici tedeschi si offrirono al regime. Lo stesso comportamento si riscontra anche nella maggior parte delle altre professioni; ma nel caso dei medici quel dono comprese l'uso della loro autorità intellettuale per giustificare ed eseguire uccisioni, situate in una prospettiva medica» (p. 71).
In this episode Lisa and Kim discuss:Secrets of admissions that might surprise students and their families.The myths and confusion surrounding the admissions essay. How to be genuine while writing the admissions essays. Understanding the questions being asked, answering the prompt, and not thinking about what other people want. Key Takeaways: When your student is starting to build their network, first, they should try to be interested before they try to be interesting. In 2023, admissions advisors do not spend time talking about ChatGPT and AI. They have bigger fish to fry, such as the affirmative action conversations happening in the Supreme Court this summer. There are no specific traits that college admissions advisors are looking for in every student. They are looking to get to know your student better and more genuinely. Regardless of the question, encourage your student to answer the prompt and stay true to who they are. “With the college essay, there is so much garbage out there. And so many myths. And so many people don't understand that it's not that big of a thing. You just have to answer the question, show a little bit of insight, and help these people understand who you are. That is it.” – Kim LiftonAbout Kim Lifton: Perceptive, resourceful, and curious, Wow President and Co-founder Kim Lifton can get a story out of anyone; she helped create the brainstorming process used in the Wow Method.

Slam the Gavel welcomes my good friend Kim Koogle to the podcast. Kim talked about her journey through being in a Cult, "The Way International," when she was 22 years old. Kim talked about Robert J. Lifton's books, one of which was Cults In Our Midst: The Hidden Menace in our Everyday Lives. Coercive Control and Mind Control, and how this played a big part when she was came out of the cult that would prepare her for what would come next in her life. Kim had put herself through college and had a career prior to having children and had been a contractor in nuclear power plants for Department of Defense and the Department of Energy. Then she spent twenty years raising her children. However, her spouse had filed for divorce. Explaining that after her children were taken away from her by her ex in court and the legal abuse she suffered, for example going from living in a one-million dollar house to now an Airstream Trailer, to when her daughter had a serious accident and was then under the control of her father, Kim could see the coercive control through, "loaded language," which was used in Lifton's book. COERCIVE CONTROL through DOMESTIC VIOLENCE by PROXY.

Explaining that after her children were taken away from her by her ex in court and the legal abuse she suffered, for example going from living in a one-million dollar house to now an Airstream Trailer, to when her daughter had a serious accident and was then under the control of her father, Kim could see the coercive control through, "loaded language," which was used in Lifton's book. COERCIVE CONTROL through DOMESTIC VIOLENCE by PROXY. Kim shared the heartbreaking destruction of child psychological abuse and how it has affected her children and her life, in as far as PTSD and Aphasia, and how far she has come.To Contact Kim Koogle: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com***This episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 111 Woke is a cult. In fact, Woke is a cult in exactly the same way Maoism was and is a cult. There's only a little daylight between them, as we recently explored here on the New Discourses Podcast. Ideological cults like Woke and Maoism operate in an environment Robert Jay Lifton labeled "ideological totalism," which he described in depth in his book 'Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of "Brainwashing" in China' (https://amzn.to/3k3jdEa). In one of the later chapters of that book, Lifton details eight characteristics of ideological totalism, and in this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads through the relevant chapter in full and connects it both to the Maoist context Lifton is describing from the outside and to the Woke Marxist revolution we're currently suffering from the inside. Join James for an unprecedentedly close and detailed look at the cultic nature of Woke.

Y., Chai, P., Nawaz, S., Choi, J., Lopez-Giraldez, F., Hussain, S., Bilguvar, K., Mane, S., Lifton, R. P., Ahmad, W., Zhang, K., Chung, J.-J. Abstract: Radial spokes (RSs) are T-shaped multiprotein complexes in the 9+2 axoneme of motile cilia and flagella that couple the central pair to the peripheral doublet microtubules. RS1, RS2, and RS3 are repeated along the outer microtubule of the axoneme and modulate the activity of dynein, thus ciliary and flagella movement. RS substructures are distinct in spermatozoa from other cells harboring motile cilia in mammals. However, the molecular components of the cell-type specific RS substructures remain largely unknown. Here, we report a leucine-rich repeat-containing protein, LRRC23, is a RS head component indispensable for the RS3 head assembly and flagellar movement in human and mouse sperm. From a Pakistani consanguineous family with infertile males due to reduced sperm motility, we identified a splice site variant of LRRC23 that leads to truncate LRRC23 at the C-terminus. In mutant mouse model mimicking the identified variant, the truncated LRRC23 protein is produced in testis but fails to localize in the mature sperm tail, causing severe sperm motility defects and male infertility. Purified recombinant human LRRC23 does not interacts with RS stalk proteins, but with a head protein, RSPH9, which is abolished by the C-terminus truncation of LRRC23. Cryo-electron tomography and sub-tomogram averaging unambiguously visualized that the RS3 head and sperm-specific RS2-RS3 bridge structure is missing in the LRRC23 mutant sperm. Our study provides new insights into RS3 structure and function in mammalian sperm flagella as well as molecular pathogenicity of LRRC23 underlying reduced sperm motility in infertile human males.

My guests for this episode are the film-scoring duo Ryan Miller and Jay Lifton. Ryan is a founding member and the lead singer of Guster, who recently celebrated their 31st consecutive year of touring and recording. He has scored over 15 feature films and has worked with directors Colin Trevorrow, Jordan Vogt-Roberts, Lake Bell, and Zoe Lister-Jones. Jay Lifton is a Brooklyn-based composer who has worked with Alicia Silverstone, Kirsten Smith, Sean Baker, Paul Feig, and Errol Morris. He somewhat recently scored an episode of This American Life as well as the documentary RABBLE ROUSERS, which is about the forces behind NYC gentrification and urban displacement. Both Ryan and Jay have great resumes for their work in film and commercials. The pair teamed up to score Reese Witherspoon's film "Something from Tiffany's", which premiered this past holiday season on Prime Video. The film follows the story of a woman as her life gets upended when an engagement ring that was for someone else leads her to the person she's meant to be with. I watched the trailer and was struck by how beautiful it looked. Then, of course, I noticed the music. We talk about "Something from Tiffany's," Guster, their respective journies toward film scoring, the value of attending film festivals, music in video games, and more.

Bob Jones University (BJU) is a private, non-denominational evangelical university in Greenville, South Carolina, known for its conservative cultural and religious positions. The university, with approximately 2,500 students. *note this is repurposed audio from a video I recorded•In this episode, I examine the culture of Bob Jones through the lens of a cult expert. I use two models used by cult experts to analyze the BJU environment. The two models are “Lifton's Criteria for Mind Control or Thought Reform” and Steve Hassan's “BITE” Model of Authoritarian Control.•What is Lifton's Criteria for Mind Control?These criteria are:1. Milieu control (environment)2. Mystical manipulation (or planned spontaneity)3. The demand for purity4. The cult of confession5. Sacred science6. Loading of the language7. Doctrine over person8.

Episode 92 continues the story of the autopsy. In this episode, we hear the audio from the classic short film "Best Evidence" by celebrated author and JFK assassination researcher David Lifton. His meticulously researched book of the same name is centered around the radical thesis that somewhere between Parkland and Bethesda, the President's body was diverted and that some form of medical procedures were applied to the body, primarily to the President's head, in order to alter the forensics related to the original injuries. The implications of this are obvious. The theory is far out for sure, but thanks to David Lifton many of the supporting facts have now come out, and with credible corroboration. For instance, did the president arrive at Bethesda in a shipping casket or the ceremonial casket that he supposedly left Parkland in? Join us in this exciting 26th autopsy episode which continues the reveal of the events which occurred related to the autopsy. And join us for a whole series of episodes about the fantastic goings on that encompass this part of the JFK story. There is more direct forensics to come in this series of forensics episodes. Stay tuned, and eventually we'll explore more of the physical evidence involving use and ownership of the Mannlicher Carcano rifle and evidence recovered from the Presidential limousine, as well as damage done to the vehicle. Our episodes have now begun to explore an array of matters that dive into a deeper darkness related to what went on that day in Dallas and in the period before and after the assassination. Matters that possibly point to a wider and more sinister plot to kill the president and that clearly call into question the theory that there was a lone assassin. Complex cases without an eyewitness that can actually identify the shooter make the forensic and circumstantial evidence that much more important. Ironically, problems abound with much of the evidence in this case. Evidence that is complex, incomplete and sometimes conflicting. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. Stay tuned as there are many more episodes to come!This series comprehensively explores the major facts, themes, and events leading up to the assassination in Dealey Plaza and the equally gripping stories surrounding the subsequent investigation. We review key elements of the Warren Commission Report , and the role of the CIA and FBI. We explore the possible involvement of the Mafia in the murder and the review of that topic by the government's House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970's. We explore the Jim Garrison investigation and the work of other key figures such as Mark Lane and others. Learn more about Lee Harvey Oswald the suspected killer and Jack Ruby the distraught Dallas night club owner with underworld ties and the man that killed Oswald as a national TV audience was watching. Stay with us as we take you through the facts and theories in bite sized discussions that are designed to educate, and inform as well as entertain the audience. This real life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Let's see, does it check the boxes? Join us as we go through the warning signs as outlined by cult expert Alexandra Stein: Cult/Totalist Recruitment Warning Signs. This list comes from here website if you want to learn more here: http://www.alexandrastein.com/warning-signs.html The group/person has the Total and Only answer. Only they have the right line, will make the revolution, solve your problems, empower you, make you loved, rich, effective, holy, etc. Attempts to isolate you from existing close relationships (friends/family) and the outside world Extreme, immediate and/or inappropriate friendliness or attention. Promises of perfection if only you adhere to their program Your “gut-feeling” tells you something is wrong. Trust this, and try to analyze it. The group creates conditions of extreme stress, threat or fear (emotional and/or physical) Not answering questions, or turning them back on the questioner. Inappropriate personal boundaries Loaded language: strange language or jargon you initially can't understand. Canned, repetitive phrases. A hard sell for further commitment, programs or contact. If you resist, you're selfish, ungodly, “bourgeois”, don't believe in yourself, etc. Encouragement to cut ties with family or friends, unless you can recruit them. Secrecy, inappropriate “confidentiality”. Lack of privacy - constantly with group members, constantly busy with group activities. Ends justifies the means. It's OK to lie to others in the name of the Cause, God, for success, etc. Challenging your fundamental identity: Your strengths are criticized as your weaknesses. Once you're in, heavy pressure to stay in. Those who do leave are shunned. They become the enemy, or objects of pity. No criticism allowed of the group or leader. The group/leader is always right. Deception: what you thought you'd get on joining or attending an activity turns out to be something else.

MADE IN CHINA MODEL 3'S LEAVE FOR EUROPE NEXT TUESDAY "The first batch of Gigafactory Shanghai’s China-made Model 3 is about to begin their journey to Europe. The vehicles are reportedly en route to the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium, where they will be distributed to countries such as Germany and France." says Teslarati: "Recent reports from Chinese media have announced the shipment of thousands of Made-in-China Standard Range Plus Model 3s from Gigafactory Shanghai. As noted by Tesla owner-enthusiast @Ray4Tesla, the shipments will start next week on Tuesday, October 27. Tesla owner-enthusiast Armand Vervaeck suggested that the China-made Model 3s could be shipped by train to Europe due to the vehicles being fitted with protective wraps. Based on comments under Teslarati’s previous article, it seems that shipments by train would have an estimated arrival time of two weeks." This does point to towards Model Y coming to Europe, if demand in China allows. And Model 3 from Fremont no longer has to do the 20 day journey down the West Coast, Mexico etc, through the Panama Canal and across the Atlantic. Plus the margin on those MIC cars is much better. As a commenter notes: "Tesla can charge more for an SR+ in Europe vs China, LFP Version provides better margin compared to the US Model 3 might be battery cell constraint along with the model Y ramp. So to supply Europe, they can further diversify their cells. So I believe they bypass Chinese demand in favor of supplying Europe. Can't wait to see first European YouTube reviews about the MIC M3 build quality etc." https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-china-export-europe-start-date/ TESLA RESEARCHERS PRESENT BATTERY WITH 2 MILLION MILE LIFECYCLE "Tesla battery researchers around Jeff Dahn have presented updated test results for their battery cells. Instead of one million miles, the batteries are now expected to last 10,000 cycles and provide traction power for more than two million miles – that’s about 3.2 million kilometers." says electrive: "With “special additives”, the batteries should be able to withstand 10,000 cycles. Assuming a relatively conservative 350 kilometer range per cycle (i.e., a full charge from 0 to 100 percent), this would be 3.5 million kilometers. Whether 3.2 or 3.5 million kilometers: the one million miles or 1.6 million kilometers announced in September 2019 seem to be clearly surpassed. If the batteries were only discharged by 25 to 50 per cent of their capacity, they would show almost no degradation. This is a charge level range that many electric car drivers use in practice – the battery is rarely discharged to less than 20 per cent, on the other hand, it is rarely charged over 80 per cent." https://www.electrive.com/2020/10/19/tesla-researchers-present-battery-with-2-million-mile-lifecycle/ TESLA HAS OVER 120 OPERATIONAL MICROGRIDS "Tesla has over 120 operational microgrids around the world using its batteries and renewable energy, according to a new comment from an executive. Ever since the launch of Tesla Energy and its stationary energy storage products, Tesla started working on microgrid projects" says electrek: "Michael Snyder, director of engineering and construction, energy projects at Tesla, released the information in a Linkedin post about a new position on the microgrid team: If you like solving problems at the nexus of power systems interactions, protection coordination, system and product level controls, and DERs (Powerpacks, Megapacks, solar, and generators), check out the link below for a microgrid-focused product engineer. We have 120+ operational microgrids around the world with high impact to a variety of communities/customers. This is a unique and rewarding role." https://electrek.co/2020/10/19/tesla-120-operational-microgrids-world/ TESLA EXPANDS CHARGING IN EUROPE Tesla’s Supercharger network has rapidly expanded since the beginning of the quarter with over 250 new Supercharging stalls located all over Europe, with around 240 of these being V3 Superchargers.

PORSCHE PANAMERA TURBO S E-HYBRID "Porsche has announced two new hybrid powertrains for its Panamera hatchback and Panamera Sport Turismo estate, bringing back the 4 E-Hybrid and Turbo S E-Hybrid models to the range. These join the 4S E-Hybrid that was launched when the Panamera was facelifted a few months back" writes evo.co.uk: "The Turbo S E-Hybrid reclaims its position as the most powerful Panamera derivative, now peaking at 690bhp, 9bhp more than before. The extra power is derived from the 4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine at the core of the powertrain, which on its own produces 563bhp. Despite its near 2500kg kerb weight, the Turbo S E-Hybrid will reach 62mph in 3.2sec (0.2sec quicker than the previous model) and go on to 196mph, while also being able to cruise for up to 31 miles on the electric motors alone.

"LG Chem already has two battery cell plants in Europe and both are in Poland where most of LG Chem’s global battery cell production is located. If production capacity is expanded at its already operating plants, LG Chem can produce 120 GWh annually and this would be enough to assemble more than 2 million (2.400.000) battery packs with 50 kWh each." according to PushEVs: "With a third battery cell plant in Europe LG Chem expects to reach a global annual production capacity of 260 GWh by 2023. This would be enough to produce more than 5 million (5.200.000) battery packs with 50 kWh each." https://pushevs.com/2020/10/19/lg-chem-plans-to-build-a-new-factory-in-europe/ BMW PRODUCED ITS 200,000TH I3 MODEL "The 200 000th BMW i3 model rolled off the production line yesterday – almost silently as always. The BMW i3s with Fluid Black metallic paint finish and accents in BMW i Blue was produced for a customer from Saxony and will be delivered by the BMW branch in Leipzig." "With the start of production in 2013, the plant in Saxony became a pioneer and centre of excellence for sustainable mobility. The BMW i3 was the BMW Group’s first purely electrically powered large-scale serial model and also the company’s first vehicle with a passenger cell made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic" https://electriccarsreport.com/2020/10/bmw-produced-its-200000th-i3-model/ FOUR CAR CHARGING NETWORKS JOIN OCTOPUS ENERGY NETWORK Octopus Energy announces that four electric vehicle (EV) charging firms have joined its Electric Juice Network in a bid to simplify on-street charging.

Today, in a continuation of my discussion from last week on COVID-19, nuclear violence, and radiation I talk with psychiatrist and author Robert Jay Lifton.Robert Jay Lifton graduated from New York Medical College in 1948. Dr. Lifton is credited with helping to establish a new field in medicine called psychohistory, the field of inquiry that explores the psychological motives of individuals and groups of historical actors, as well as the psychological impact of historical events.Dr. Lifton later served as an Air Force psychiatrist in Japan and Korea, a teacher and researcher at the Washington School of Psychiatry, Harvard University, and the John Jay College of Criminal Justice where he helped to found the Center for the Study of Human Violence.He is a recipient of the Gandhi Peace Award, the Holocaust Memorial Award, and numerous other national and international awards, as well as many honorary degrees.His books include Death in Life: Survivors of Hiroshima which won a National Book Award, Hiroshima in America: A Half-Century of Denial (with Greg Mitchell), The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide (Basic Books, 1986) Witness to an Extreme Century: A Memoir (Free Press, Simon & Schuster, 2011), The Climate Swerve: Reflections on Mind, Hope, and Survival (The New Press, 2017), and Losing Reality: On Cults, Cultism, and the Mindset of Political and Religious Zealotry (The New Press, 2019).

I give myself a quick introduction and explain why I wanted to start this podcast in the first place.
Renowned activists, Drs. Robert J. Lifton and Stephen Soldz, share the wisdom that they have gained while fighting to expose malignancy in political and social institutions. From nuclearism to APA-sanctioned torture, from Trumpism to the destruction of the political order, our guests have confronted, exposed, and brought change to the most repellant of society’s evils. In this episode we learn about modes of thought and action that can help us to restore our sense of reality in these troubling times. The clarity gained from listening to these inspiring guests will remind you of the power of community, activism, and connection. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this special bonus episode, I take a closer look at what Dr Robert Jay Lifton refers to as "the psychology of the pawn." Maybe you will resonate as I discuss 3 different examples from my experiences in the church and how I now realize that in many ways, I was but a pawn in much larger movements--of which I was totally unaware at the time. This concept also relates to Lifton's category of "mystical manipulation" in which cults, religions and groups with undue influence exercise mind control over their followers. We think we have free will and are making informed choices...but perhaps not!

Hi I'm Jay Farner CO Quicken loans 30% of Americans who are planning home improvements of $5000 or more will pay for those renovations with a high interest credit card that may not be a great idea a better idea may be to take cash out of your home with the Quicken loans 30 year fixed-rate mortgage the rate today in our 30 year fixed rate mortgage is 3.99% APR 4.08% call us today at 800 Quicken or go to rocket mortgage.com 125% B receive it is not real because of drinking and nobody six and 130 and Haley IRA as they get check project episode number 20 with your host Dr. Ken Brown I am Eric Rager Dr. Ken what's up episode number 20 Lovett sleep now going to tend to time wow I know it's amazing the beautiful spoony studios excellent excellent so no just today no guest today because we can do some cool new low fund that I were to do that were to push the boundaries what we did we talk about today well we have several people have written talked about sleep apnea not only through email but we have people who come to the clinic with people who come through the procedures they want to know what can I do about sleep apnea and it's funny because whenever we have them go sleep for the procedures oftentimes we are able to recognize you may need to go and get checked out for your sleep apnea problem and then they ineffably say I know I had sleep apnea and then many times they end up going getting tested right back and say I did thank you exactly so we always talk about this that the three pillars of health gut brain and sleep sleep is so important that for next month's KB MD subscription box your health has arrived is to be an addition of things to help people sleep better get into a deeper sleep get into good sleep hygiene because it's so important and just the fact that people will have obstructive sleep apnea right like this guy right here so I learned I have obstructive sleep apnea and I've snored my entire life didn't think anything of it and then of course you know we know that my kids by love tennis I took Lucas on a turn at one time and he said you kept me up all night snoring and then he lost the message that is match and I went okay. Checked out so once my friend ear nose and throat doctor Dr. Keith with a knee and he sent me home with an at-home sleep monitor and we were both surprised me he's like a friend and source that there is like you know you just kind of appeasing the family is like do you horrible sleep apnea what I don't fit the profile of no little chubby but the but I'm not and I don't have big thick neck and have those other things but as it turned out I have a lot of redundant tissue in the back my throat right word and address that we got some cool stuff on look at some studies about that because now I realize oh my gosh as we attempt to bridge the gap between natural solutions and traditional medicine there's stuff that has been published years ago very easy to do very life-changing and were to work on that today so if you have trouble sleeping make sure you tune into the show went in and talk about what it is to have symptoms of sleep apnea a lot of people don't even realize why they suddenly feel fatigued why they feel like they're trying to lose weight but simply co-I don't know I think that the most common symptom of sleep apnea is a bruise on your shoulder from the wife punching you all night long I know I know I snore real bad when the shoulder hurts because she's rolled me over on it and then I got a big bruising that's out that's the most common symptom of sleep apnea is the spousal attack as you continue to keep the whole house up so that I'm really lucky because I don't snore and fortunately not my wife does not snore either so it's pretty quiet but my dad did and he had sleep apnea and it was he did not want the machine he did not want to address it but when he did there was no turning back he felt better he had better energy he was glad that he was able to address the issue that he didn't realize was sidelining him for so long my goal for our subscription box and the D had subscription box which I am eating again what they had on Tuesday were to continue to launch as things could be so exciting we will change the landscape of health in the DFW Metroplex and hopefully spread beyond the Metroplex and get way out there and really start looking at some things that's one of the reasons why I think that we can use a subscription box to try and get these aspects of health improved so that everything works when you don't get into your proper circadian rhythm of sleeping your gut motility changes and you can then have got issues which is my primary thing but then we start looking at that that leads to autoimmune disease right let alone the other aspects of increased cortisol increased weight gain insulin sensitivity actually decreases and now you've got this whole recipe of why is a nation we continue to get sicker one of the problems as we do not have proper sleep hygiene one thing that happens also which is that vicious cycle is it when you don't sleep good that stressor decreases and they shown this your two endogenous Endo cannabinoid site known as a nano might into AG Ananda my goes down to AG goes up which is your stress and a cannabinoid in response to the stress it's going on and then because a jury in fight or flight also signed all of the time so unfortunately if you're one of these people you hopefully are listening to this and you're driving to work and if you're one of these people that notices that you get tired on your drive home and everything a lot of this is out of your control a lot of this is a hormonal response due to improper sleep and even if you go into sleep a long time select one of the things ultimate Joe's podcast I've always been a big fan of Adam ruins everything right yet you know that show if your chat site is Adam Conover I think is a really funny guy and if it is a good actor and all this other stuff but what they do is that they look at different things they haven't a team of researchers do different stuff now he sort of taken that show in his own podcast so is bringing those experts on the just little snippets on the show and hold you like a full hour with them will get a sleep expert on and he freely admitted he goes I grew up in a home I think it's a town of Argosy's Irish group at home or having a nightcap is very normal then you will so for years I would work odd hours I would have a drink to get tired and go to sleep and then she said will here's what happens with that yes alcohol is a sedative you go to sleep but what it does is when it wears off you have a spike in energy in it will draw you out of your circadian rhythm and it moves your REM sleep further along so that typically when you're in your RAM is when you're waking up at six or 7 AM yeah and it disrupts the whole process so even though you went to sleep and if you get a good sleep you screwed that up same thing will happen sleep apnea the second you go into an ethnic episode it raises your awareness cortisol goes up pulls you out of that circadian rhythm and that happens so today were going to do some cool tricks on how to help sleep apnea forcibly like me if you get redundant tissue in this different stuff that's really cool the other really cool thing that were to do today is do you remember that kick ass guess that we had named Brandon Brown I do remember Rainer Brandon Brown from a flower power no flower child flower child our child sous chef at flower at the flower child great episode check that out is super cool dude he he contacted us he said you know what you guys as such's something really unique your doctor you there neuron's booty network which is kind of a ghetto chef Patrick's got his show is a catch start doing a little. Today for the first time where you have the tracking with KB MD CBD show it did happen and we have results were going to show how to make one thing and so something that was made already and brought in today but I've watched a lot of the Food Network back one of my patients is a producer for the Food Network site I get the inside scoop on how that action works in and everything so it's kinda cool to always fun to see the backing of the backend of how the stuff gets produced how they do another set it up but I watch a lot of Food Network authority to do that were to do a live cooking show you make some cool stuff today were the new CVD word and talk about that and we also make sure that the study just came out today as a matter fact I just saw where eating flavonoids and polyphenols specifically they looked at that from teasing from brute strength when you had a high risk population a smoking population and people with poor lifestyle significantly decrease the cancer risk wow so that brings up our moment of polyphenol talk and ponder on teal so we develop upfront to forget health overall good health but were realizing that the powerful polyphenols is the only NSF certified meaning if you're an athlete you can take this your doctor to get pop for anything wrong and if this actually has been shown to help athletic performance by increasing nitric oxide to the muscle strength we know the polyphenols do that we know the polyphenols actually decrease the oxidative stress and we also know that the polyphenols go to the Cold War your body breaks it down for anti-inflammatory antiaging molecules that were to call post-biotics that I got some cool news on that also so the fact that this study just came out more and more and more were hearing about how beneficial these molecules are these are the things that make vegetables and fruits colorful right from the Mediterranean diet study just came out that showed it you lead a high risk lifestyle meaning if you smoke or you eat processed foods you need to make sure that you get a significant amount of polyphenols in and one way to do to stake out front to in a really easy way to do it saves money is to vertigo they can go to love my tummy.com/study and use code spinning sinks and money so we will talk more about polyphenols we'll talk more our goal here is Dutch I project is just to make you your best you no matter what your lifestyle is were you did little like tax to see if we can figure out Kathleen speaking on life actually have two things that we need to address on some quick business so we have notified the six winners however I get to that have not heard back from them when we hear back from those to some going to resend the email to those two and confirm with everyone and we can read out the winners names I'll resend that email by tomorrow just be sure and check your email just in case you didn't go through last time that we want to make certain we have the correct mailing address etc. and then we will send out the winning six packages second thing what are they getting by what they are getting Dr. Brown's signature protection package which is a month supply of trying to heal as well as your choice of sentiment or natural flavored CVD KPMG CBD which of course carries its own certificate of authenticity and day means that day you're getting a real CBD product while so the Dr. Brown you call it the signature protection package correct okay also available way better than what I would put together which would've been a beware of $can amaze that's my protection yeah that has nothing to the doctor that you can also order your own signature protection package by going to KB MD health.com that again is KB MD health.com drop us a line and let us know that you have shared and subscribe to get check project in one last thing KB MD box KB MD box.com if you like we've gotten great feedback on the first now six weeks into launching KPD health box most people didn't really realize the value that was going to be in there it's well over $100 in savings it does include doctrine to and when you break it down it is the least expensive place to find out trying to will my deal is it isn't so much on the short-term savings is that if you commit to this and really really do this for me a solid six months to a year were to transform your life or to heal your gut were to get to sleep better to protect your brain and your good do it through vetted supplements that are backed by science absolutely and it's K BMD box.com you can sign up on your own and just to play on that we have a story later in today show that I know that touchdown with you a little bit about what it takes to have a roadmap to success and why road you may be loaded with all of the information that you need to succeed to be healthy to be fit etc. but it always makes you more productive to have a roadmap even if you create it yourself or you use somebody else's crib notes on terms of what it is that you're going to do its best to have a plan in a plan matters essentially KPD box keeping the health box is a plan it's a plan for supplementation that will make a difference for you healthy no wasting money no guesswork this is your baseline to start with some that's funny because yesterday I became friends with somebody is pretty cool he is the owner of Soto weight loss Lesotho San Pablo state-of-the-art state-of-the-art that's right yes I just just happen to be sitting next to Mark Doyle who is the CEO state-of-the-art set out to Hannegan the answer we discussed the talking and over time outrun to you and I was just thinking my gosh with the way that you're helping your people and you given them a roadmap to lose weight and were not sponsored by them or that you just a super nice guy and I've looked at his website I'm impressed anybody who's out there trying to help the general public with her health and one ways certainly weight loss and helping them achieve that yeah you had that in a subscription box you got yourself a bad acetyl package yeah so if you're doing any type of weight loss or anything like that check out outfront he'll check out our subscript and boxer KB MD box and make it although but easier make it happen little quicker we'll the polyphenols I was going to mark this yesterday that polyphenols are a fasting mimetic molecule right other words appear in ketosis or if your fasting to intermittent fasting it actually augments that and you can listen to Melanie Avalon podcast that I did with her legal way into that but so cool that you ran into him so in the end it's been a while since I've looked at what does soda has but it's it's it's it's essentially a proven roadmap two and functional ketogenic diet right that can help explain its personally never heard about it I did know what it was I would actually like that I think I've seen this before just a really nice guy would just sit there talking we start talking that's a cool deacon out a little bit a man and then he's staying up his account UA grandpa belly knees like 10,000 that we can work on that guy well and enough of the pitches so get started how was the house that lasted two weeks been and what's been going on in document household while so Dr. Brown household as we rounded out the summer school started boo-boo but the today I believe that for Carla yeah so so school starting today that summer was a thick thick summer of tennis Lloyd out basically was traveling everywhere around the country taken one or the other child Lucas or Carl around and it last week for the why was little over seven days I took Carla to Alpharetta Georgia for the 12s of hardcourt national championships and little life lesson there she was doing remarkably good and she lost first round to the seated person but then figure it out and then just started doing great one a couple really tough matches was doing playing fantastic will back to the hotel also caught up in tennis and then I got a reminder from American Airlines check into your flight tomorrow hello oh this happen that quickly been there since like Friday and it was Wednesday and I went I didn't anticipate being that long so that I had to sit have a heart-to-heart with my daughter unlike your kicking ass boy somebody getting to work to pay for this yeah so I had to simply go I'm so sorry and then we were trying to figure out that she could play one more match and it was just really difficult and then beautiful loop the cool thing about traveling were all packed up and then Caroline's just sent your flights were canceled though no cancel now the reason why it's a big deals because as you know you and I showed up on that Friday and we had like 20 some patients that that needed the thick day yeah we need colonoscopies and endoscopy's and helping people is out of town and so your growth is panicky like you just canceled my flight and then you try to rebook but everybody on that flight strata resorts would like that was not available that was unavailable arrive at 1 AM start scoping so I would not be getting there so I went to my dual trust to go to which is Southwest right so in the series of events is digressive recited the series of events were Carl and I went we went had breakfast came back with pack every thing up and I'm doing the whole was my phone thing couldn't find my phone oh my computer and zero it the computer says the phone was last years there and I like walking around trying to find it and I have a Google pixel so maybe the iPhones better at find my phone but it was and I found it in the parking lot South kind of panic and run over no I know so find phone come up 10 minutes later American Airlines canceled my flight so Marty kind of worked up here on the matter happens sure so I go through this like we do call him and I really have to get back I can't risk that flights would like it to leg flight to get me back it's all arriving at 1 AM so than those available might benefit just cancel despite that easy anyone 053 canceled even I'm not to build make it back to do my job so get on Southwest I book a one-way ticket for both of us to get back okay sounds good we get through doing to the Atlanta airport pull up to the counter guy was really cool but it was a slight your checking a bit early and now it's only like hour and 1/2 is like no this flight is for tomorrow in my haste I booked the flight for the next day Carla looks at me and the guy was so cool beautiful €20 he's a hoot and he was was your father flipping out today and she was really stressed and goes well and let you take it easy… Put you on the appropriate flight so that's why Kennewick goes but I have one question for you sir just as I why did you ever book with American in the first thought that was pretty cool so that was our that was our travels I was meeting Carla now Lucas Lucas was a beast he went to Kalamazoo which is that it's called gnats at the zoo is a very prestigious term it writes the hardware championships did a pretty good in singles he lost the tough indoor match but doubles him and his partner Aiden Tim they made it to the finals and they did a live stream of that they had commentators and everything there is why such big deals because the winner of that it's an automatic invite to the junior US open in New York he wanted it said Flushing Meadow he wanted so bad unfortunately they did not win it but I am proud that he at least the finalists they were the youngest kids are both 14 playing and you know you can play up till the day you turned 17 so Moses kids a little older and great so super happy about that and no that's a strong family as far as me I think I told you I listen to a podcast Goldmine pump right kind of a fun one at that its 3X bodybuilders/trainers in there they're pretty realistic and kinda neat and I downloaded their own mark at the Idella one of the work of at these different workouts called maps this maps that not a lit map stand for both buying whatever I did the map strong which is they have the strong man you're doing strongmen techniques to really work some different muscles right you know how it is you just getting these routines were you talk about a roadmap on how to do dieting ointment sometimes just have a roadmap you show up and that's what people love CrossFit because there never work out right therefore and I'm doing these workouts but in the heavies videos of forget what the guys name but he's an actual strongman doing front squats with 315#oh my gosh I'm almost there but yeah so anyways I'm in each of those guys a little shout out and tell them one little piece of advice that really makes their workouts stand out way more that way more I think you should start the work out in either go out and buy shirts a size smaller or do what I did with this thing and wash it in hot water because I feel like I'm getting bigger but the reality is just went tighter so that should be part of the protocol berries that's what's going on with me now is you had a really cool week with what would you do we the boys and Marie and I have always almost always vacationed where we do an outdoor adventure of some kind almost never leave town to go stand in a nice hotel or as Mac but it can we just have a vacation where we don't have to get up and start hiking and so Marine I decided to take the boys and in each of them took a friend and we went in Costa Rica's were raised in a NAI nice hotel in Tamarindo and it was right on the beach and honestly we just got in lots of days of surfing drinking great coffee eating incredible local food we did a catamaran tour which show Robert Drysdale the fighter former MMA now jujitsu master haven't heard that name in a long time he was on he was on the catamaran with its and he seemed I really did talk to me just seemed like a super cool dude and that means beautiful wheat we all went snorkeling saw some cool stuff did a oh yeah is a little guy abatement 64 GCA sees not small at all and but we did that did a ATV tour to the dry jungle saw a lot of monkeys solve three humpback whales made it was really lazy and ATV tooth is jungle that is awesome yeah it is it was I guided so they took us up and is really really cool and I mean very relaxing lot your phone doesn't work and a lot of these spaces so yeah it was it was a nice escape and ironically we flew Southwest down to Costa Rica seamless no problems no cancel flight so I'm a big fan of the old Southwest at sublessee will sponsor get we use the word love in our in our love meant to me.com where you so but they know you it was great in the now we've returned our boys that started back to school yesterday had a great day at school yesterday they both are excited date for the most part they actually keep up with their friends at that the summer because they both shoot hoops with with most of their friends they see them but to no great week and 1/2 for vacation yeah sometimes realize you don't get enough time with your family it that was awesome let me ask you some serving questions were you able to try different boards were able to know try and do so once you figured out you get up what did you find to be the easier board well it's funny that I think about a 7 foot foam board for an adult male seems to be the beginner style board but you don't tell him to stay there when you get confident of where you place your feet you can you can really cannot play around a lot and so there happened to be someone renting boards right by our hotel and he had everything we had one it was about a 8 foot board for a kid who came along with us Max buddy who's already 63 I think and it basically looked like a I like a closet door it was just gigantic and it was a little difficult to get up on but once you're up you can't tell he can't fall now and as so that that was a cool board but you the bigger the board the harder to cut right okay they had dad they had some other smaller boards around 6 1/2 maybe 6 foot long and and they varied in material but then the guy and his name is Delbert and Delbert you want to show you probably not you bet Anita but we we used when his cutting boards and strict board so it was about 4 feet long and while that was a half-hour yucky seem to climb and so anyway vertical surface held it to Costa Rica was beautiful dear will learn how to surf you are doing a great environment the waves coming nice and slow the Pacific waters down on Central America are not cold is beautiful that's awesome that's way better what else they can write while you were down there I turned into the euro on Apple TV the red bull channel were they did the big wave challenge like down in Peru was now knocking it was not as that is the first half-hour episode of a 20 to get check project we've got actually some really cool stuff doesn't Monday yeah this is as immigration we still got to Dr. Brown's corner to talk about our clinic review and then we've got some really cool stuff for you to possibly defeat sleep apnea and find new ways of consuming CBD place right the only bit why have thousands of aspiring authors teamed up with

corner and just a quick call back if you ever want to get yourself your hands on some nice polyphenols which are NSF certified the only ones indicated for bloating and abdominal discomfort love my Tammy.com/spooning as love my tummy.com/miniature daily polyphenols we can talk little bit about why it matters to reduce that kind of inflammatory stuff absolutely by the way so one of the other things we really love talk about is CBD cannabidiol KB MD CBD today were to be having cooking with KPMG CBD our own little segment of the new of that nothing to show that a new segment to the show cooking with CBD were to do that but one of the things we love to do the signature protection package the reason why we put the two together because the polyphenols in trying to actually help you essentially produce more of your own and dodges in the cannabinoids by blocking enzymes that break it down so when you do CBD plus upfront to actually work synergistically it's like one plus one equals four that's a people to think about that's why I was put together that's where all my patients that both ice small side note to just a reminder that I was just talking with the Anthony at arch until headquarters and we are confirmed so we have lots of dietitians I want to show we have on feedback from dietitians and nutritionists fancy the nutrition conference at the end of October arch on teal for the first time ever will be making an appearance and it's in Philadelphia at the end of October this year as we sell yet so it's up to cool deal to write to you doing such a chemical city like I'm actually probably really never ever been there I did give a lecture there for the American culture yes virology does cool five but I was at the Philadelphia brotherly love you or if you go to the Eagles game just brotherly shove yeah little little piece of advice you know they'll have everyone has their favorite cheese Philly cheese steak place a Member with the two major ones are but there's like to churn major ones don't do it I didn't go did you free it doesn't work well in Philly may need you just gotta stop like everybody lined like or dislike about you bro Crichton Philly cheese steak. The reference I say whatever I do it I was the Jack-in-the-Box commercial Jack walks up to the to the new guy is like junk I need you to fill you learn about every mobility cheese statements and six months later could lead with a mullet yellow check all soaked up Philly like a sponge yeah I don't think it's really quite that kind of you to come back with a mullet hello and I hope so let's get down to the clinical work as we get some really cool stuff here and get some cool tie-ins to lead into what we got the rest show yeah so one of things before we get into our you know we always try to do some sort of deep dive into an article but before that a couple to third or two things just popped up in the news yesterday actually really cool salesforce founder the company sales force will have a huge yet and CEO Mark Ben New York Benioff began I owe FFD data saving been with Mark and now Mark market his wife Lynn there to donate $35 million specific to understanding the field of the human microbiota that's a lot of money so cool specifically they want the money to be used to look at asthma inflammatory bowel disease"" other elements of systemic disease from the cell stomach disease from the bowel manipulative microbiology and what they could do there to give the gift it's to be split between University California San Francisco and Stanford University Did that in mind and your quote from them is with a deeper understanding of the human micro biome our generation can unlock new treatments that impact lives around the world so we always taught Michael Banuelos about feeding the micro biome and how important it is to eat for it I was joke around if you see a pregnant woman interceding for two we need to be eating for hundred trillion right and that's what they're getting into they believe or basically he believes wise donating 35 million that were a watershed moment in human biology and our health rests not only on the proper functioning of our own genes but also on the genes and the products of our micro bio yeah so what you feed your micro biome in the products meeting post biotics review that term before this prebiotic switchyard under adjustable fibers there's probiotics which we know are just alive or the supposed be like bacteria and if you if you listen to our episode with Carolyn Krishnan we get into that we discussed the pros and cons of probiotics how the manufactured housing delivered how the delivered actually how probably what 99% of them are being destroyed around it alive and everything so go ahead look at that whatever episode that was a few episodes back but it's what we really get into that it's really cool so I love how they said that not only are human genes but also the genes and products or micro bio same day Stanford discusses a study so this got published I love the fact that they don't need the money I don't know if I knew that Stamper was republishing this or not but they discovered thousands of novel proteins produced by the human microbiologist was just published in the journal cell we always talk about post-biotics like molecules like-year-old Lifton right which you know of someone like Rhonda Patrick always talked about your Lutheran creating autophagy meaning that your aging and dying cells or my tough duty your aging and dying mitochondria actually go away will these guys figure something out that's really cool they used very specific techniques and they determined that there are thousands of previously undiscovered small proteins being produced by bacteria in the human micro micro bio these are all newly described proteins they serve an unknown function but what's really wild is it's a brand-new frontier it fits in exactly what Karen was talking about do you remember when he said we need to explore based biotic did it send signals to kill other bacteria about virulent and when we asked him or like what are the signals that will relearning that I think it's these small proteins guess what they are there sequences of amino acids anywhere between smaller than 50 amino acids wow that's a peptide that is a peptide member how we talk about BPC 157 yeah and what were to have Taylor compounding CEO on I been talking to him a little bit and is really excited with Vince exchanging emails but peptide therapy this is exactly what that is what what Stanford is saying is that our own bacteria are producing peptides that work on a local and possibly systemic level here's what's fascinating once they figured out how to find it they discovered immediately there were hoping to discover a few hundred over 4500 different protein peptide sequences being produced by different bacteria leading to different cellular responses so when we talk about how complex the micro biome is and how important it is to feed what it needs this is a whole new frontier so I was getting so excited and geek out will always want what will I was reading this and the return to how small proteins can be synthesized rapidly and can be used by bacteria as biological switches to toggle between functional states or to trigger a specific reaction other cells of those it can happen that quick why was this is amazing and that went on to outlaw because the last sentence was which could be very exciting for new future drug developments it's clear that's the endgame of everything I but it's fascinating because if you can get to the point where you eat a proper diet and have a systematic approach you could be using your bacteria to produce these things to make you healthier but why wait why wait to get sick to take some drugs and hopefully they develop in the future why not feed your micro biome what it wants right now you know what it reminds me a story and tell me if this is not the right time to bring it up get it from interrupting that the clinic owner but give you her Ryan Carrigan please football okay let's get understand yeah so I just read a story on him I think it was early yesterday morning and written by a writer from ESPN to second Temple that and to think so heavens window yes it is okay so Ryan Carrigan the whatever it what they were remarking on was the fact that he has I think the forest most consecutive starts in the NFL but the crazy thing is is he place for a team which last year led the NFL and number of players on injured reserve's they were curious like wise this guy not being hurt when everyone around him is right yeah and so Jay Gruden is the coach they are member reading stories like but don't jinx it and when they went to bed so they they go in a interview with with Ryan in what he did when he was younger is he read a story about Drew breeze redrew recent gone out and gotten food allergy testing any thought you know what I want to find some foods and maybe I should be eating really did I think one of was milk and a few other small things I decided to begin to avoid it and then as he aged back in 2016 2017 if our member correctly he began to really dive deep into a regimented mapped out meal plan so for instance his diet and there is now every day starts with two chicken breasts 1 cup of oats and diseases breakfast you what did in season and and during training camp every day starts at two chicken breast 1 cup of oats a tablespoon of flaxseed's Chia seeds plus raspberries blueberries and half of an avocado then for dinner and lunch it's heavy on freight on fish protein and vegetables red meat at least once a week and that's it let's go right on that breakfast will quit sure that is a great way to start your day yet so we've got the chicken breast which obviously proteins and have the protein would you need that is a building block to amino acids get broken down at that yeah little bit of fat let's bring it to get that right there right avocado we know that ever since we went to this low-fat diet we just become sicker that is not bad note and an avocado advocate that what that does bring in there is good fat so that you can produce your testosterone through the cholesterol and you can produce other things like and a cannabinoid site so you need the fat to do that other stuff Chia seeds in the raspberries and blueberries of the raspberry blueberry that's all poly polyphenols the Chia seeds are all three prebiotic things to feed the to feed your back. Not yet the polyphenols and the Chia seeds as a vehicle to go down there Ludwig is missing is a spore based biotic and he could kick it up and not by adding little upfront to his amazing so they they they now are looking at his diet and how he's avoided injury easy defensive lineman he makes contact every single play it's not like he's playing safety and only having to dive over one set every three plays or cover know he's he's head-to-head he's he's in combat for every place on the field and he started 120 consecutive games never been on IR injuries that is a topic that you know we bring up occasionally Junior Bryant is a good friend and he's let you know he played defensive line for the census go 49ers for years and when I talked to him about what his what the diet regiment they didn't focus on that fact that now that yeah do they just had he said I'll do that we just have Wonder Bread out and they just didn't know right now we realize that the nutrition is probably most importantly we know another really key aspect of what he does beyond the recoveries big foam roller he's big into doing ice baths after eel hard workouts and things like that all things system down inflammation right everything is to block information but something that he does as a preventative is he never wants to be now hydrated he always wants to have enough hydration so that granted this volume seemed large to me the probably for a guy of his size of things like 290 pounds probably isn't as much since he's active but he drinks 300 ounces of water per day which is 1520 ounce bottles is a lot so a gallon is hundred 20 8 PM as long water I don't think I need quite that much water but it is critically important that you do remain hydrated and you'll function better your body will function better the communication even the post biotic communication happens within your body becomes more efficient with enough hydration and I think we are chronically dehydrated if you look at people when we talk about health sitting is bad for your health we always people who were we read a patient yesterday describing what it's like to live in San Francisco and how people cannot afford to live in the city all my gosh I commute two hours two hours away four out five our five day work week is 20 hours in the car 20 hours in the car now think how much that time look at how bad it is for you number one just the stress of driving number two you're sitting where I feel that sitting for prolonged periods is very bad for you and you just brought up hydration how many people purposely don't hydrate so they don't have to pull over and use the restroom yeah like I will have to be yeah other than that woman who is the astronaut who wore the diaper she she was a trooper yet. She just strapped him to drive in my psychotic probably will after a guy favorite stories ever just a refresher woman chasing man leaves Houston drives to Florida wearing diapers and she has the pullover yeah that would that would be in such an awkward like you like okay what Cheryl what's up why are you wearing a diaper drove all the way over here didn't stop yeah I'm sure you understand the total love boot I think this is gonna work this is gonna work like your tender profile this is wearing that diaper tender profile I don't think that's something you should wear but anyway I'd love to thank you were talking about feeding the microbiota because really when you break down what they're not even referencing that in here but what that this is he's doing he's feeding his micro bomb and it's making what we think is making in health the only thing that I would've loved to see so do I were all about life tax article that I did not the print but I will talk about at some point they showed that vibration plates increase the microbial diversity for the first time ever researchers have shown that sanding on a total body vibration plate as you know kind of into that Asherah into the infrared sauna and the vibration plate something like that and now what would you do next my wife will just absolutely not be able to tolerate potential come out to the garage and I'll be there in the sauna will be on the vibration plate known she just to drive her nuts what she's in the seat next from now on is just to be weird to be doing first cool yeah so so like that's another thing like I would love to grab him have some like that go to you doing a lot that's awesome but is really doing that probably fills up as David might imagine that a little infrared sauna little vibration plate adding note that little extra polyphenols right and you can really you know just continue to kick it up a notch or you can turn into Ben Greenfield were that's pretty much all you do is try to bile hack your life at all times oh tell that story to click about Ted being Greenville because I number one I'm a big fan of him in the fact that he experiments on himself if you will be in Greenfields a great podcast the guy digs deep but the cool thing about then it is honest well so I did not hear Ben say this but one of my sons tennis coaches Anderson is a huge Ben Greenfield fan I and he listens to all his podcasts and he is also really big tennis coach that was big in the Spartan race and yeah so he likes to travel so he purposely went to Colorado because Ben Greenfield was going to do us part racing usually go there a lot of people were good despite race with them and apparently he was a professional bow hunting get the details wrong this is coming from somebody else but it makes sense knowing then and knowing his personality this makes total sense he apparently was on a pretzel bow hunting thing in Colorado and made his own water purification system that he thought would be perfect but he ended up getting Giardia and so had to pull out of the race to fill you told all his friends like that.Giardia couldn't do it sorry thought my filter would work turns out love that also yet I was to find out if that's reportedly hooking up with his CEO and Utah here if you reach him now Angelo have laughed and lamented about what happened so that you know that's and that's a thing Angel said adjustment bends always bet that is not a persona like you and I would patients go your time like this only unfortunately there's no off switch sorry about that good man that is awesome well now I like how all this stuff ties together because what were doing I think is creating a roadmap main and we talked about a roadmap healthcare BD health box and we talked about arch until multiple times over just reinforcing the fact that you can protect your health by making sensible choices my kids don't like it they think that I'm a Nazi when it comes to sugar and what they should be having and sometimes you have to relent a little bit I did need to sway going up but eventually you'll you can hear Crossroads and you'll end up benefiting from simply deceiving better you know it's if you come to my hospital go to the doctor's lounge oh career in word it hurts cringe worthy jars of M&Ms like like those big like Katie does report the lid off reacher handed tonight but I don't go to hospital Holland anymore but it is it is pretty funny to watch that where you like my gosh this is just having that you can get all the sodas you want it's all free for the doctors you want when there's cookies and cracker of the just of jelly bears and everything course beyond the sugar it just seems like that is just a MR essay VRE vancomycin-resistant Enterra caucus just select oh my goodness but that's all there and I remember reading a study where bad I want to say it's UC San Francisco Rhonda Patrick had had a PhD on talk about telomeres which are your chromosomes was a triangular your life like they banned so that yeah they banned soda and as it turned out the employees lost weight improve their hemoglobin A1c like across the board without even trying just getting Minnesota just soda and doesn't include any other sugary snacks our member that story and it was fascinating but not even surprising measures the inflammatory issue that you don't wheat we did the one study that we talked about where they gave mice the equivalent of one soda a day of high fructose corn syrup and there there were genetically predisposed mice to have polyps but they had like 80% increase in polyps and colon cancer and the only variable was the hyper just corn syrup from the equivalent of one Canaday and it's and it's unfortunate that you know I I was in that rut several years ago I just I fell into drinking Cokes and then laugh I walked away from and I still miss it but it's hard to get away from because you have a dopaminergic response yeah you have all that you money on it I'm trying to especially since a marked oil from soda so the impact I got a little extra weight my belly he did the whole picture. You know that's a great marketing technique I am saying that I read it but so I and I'm trying to get away from someone of the things that after listener that Adam Conover deal not uncommon I come home from work it's almost habit have a little dry form online or do anything like that even make a cocktail just a candidate you know that was just you to students, rhythm of doing that I'm like okay were to break that so it's I'm now in like a month of the Lord three weeks of not even having like a glass of wine with dinner which is you know something that kinda did for a lot of notes from the European theater knew my most wanted to know whatever my dad's German and so on corruption the carbonated sodas specifically bubbly now we have.Stu Ackerman I my partner got to get very in-depth intellectual conversation about bubbly flake letter like this one called Waterloo he sent me a picture of it which is funny because we are talking where it just the act of cracking it open sit marriage refreshing and when I was in Alpharetta Georgia with Carla no it's really hot him outside all day she was just laugh at me because I was just just going through cans and can't he just realize it's almost a rhythmic thing to hold something you and I've done that we've gone on business retreats yeah where we were we were one of the mind shares I was doing club soda like you are you just had like 12 club soda note is like I just think you just super hydrated like you say a word you think so are you writing about thank goodness over my diapers wouldn't have a conversation with anyone that's looking to be like you Kayla Mike yeah yeah long I'm good I prepared myself to Jeff to get a quick note to about this sleep apnea stuff do we want to take my before that the break you know what will do I'll tell you the story of the article okay and then were to do some life packs it out on top of the hour go endeavored to get into the KPMG trucking was CBD's pony show that's easier to be a chef today, walk you through a recipe I can't wait I think it's gonna be fun so I came across this super cool thing that the basically I got a news alert that set a five minute workout can lower the risk of a heart attack and increase your sports performance and improve clear thinking I'm in Oregon five and it worked out no lifting weights no cardio and as it turns out it's a very old technique that is just to resurface because somebody decided to do another trial this is the cool stuff that were talking about where there are so many things we can do that maybe have gotten forgotten listen to our photo by modulation podcast to understand that there is data on stuff and you don't know anything about much like the psilocybin research much like a lot of stuff this is one of these things it's so interesting this was an article that looked at inspiratory muscle strength training camp it was developed in the 1980s to improve respiratory muscles in people with lung diseases like bronchitis asthma and emphysema basically inspiratory muscle strength training is strength training for the muscles that you breathe with okay three talking intercostal traps nominate all the accessories as well correct so as it turns out it's all the accessories including your throat muscles okay so in 2016 they found that when you took people and you did destroy muscle strength training that 30 inhalations a day had significant improvement in obstructive sleep apnea which got me to read the rest of the article which was about sleep apnea but then I started thinking about different ways to hack sleep apnea okay so this particular article what they did is they looked at middle-aged in older adults age 50 to 79 with above normal blood pressure systolic blood pressure so there were recruiting hypertensive people They were randomly assigned to perform six weeks of 30 breast a day six days a week 30 breasts that's it and you'd be the Duchenne trial or you got this particular device which is an inspiratory muscle strength training device K which coincidentally I ordered from Amazon today okay so what they looked at is motor in cognitive function was measured at baseline and postintervention with this different cognitive toolbox that I use they looked at a battery of tests and some other standardized measures including significant very aggressive blood pressure monitoring what they showed is that neither treatment altered body weight so wasn't exercising the way that you think what would do this to lose weight sure they did not change the body composition but what they did shows there was a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure with an average of greater than 10 points so if you're walking around at let's say 150 you dropped to 140 you went from hypertensive to pre-hypertensive I just by breeding just by coming into the sky now what is really interesting is that they also show that cognition improved significantly they did memory test some people their cognition improved now what they did not discuss was the effect it is this related to the sleep apnea effect and getting better sleep so the article didn't get into just discussed we lowered blood pressure and their smarter and by the way in the background in 2016 they did prove this work. For obstructive sleep apnea okay so is it the obstructive sleep apnea crating the lower blood pressure in the improvement of cognition or is it just the breathing who cares right is a ship doesn't matter were talking about a non-pharmaceutical way to lower your blood pressure sleep better and improve your memory right I mean like if I gave you a bottle of that you go yeah like five birds one stone it's like five birds one stonefaced weight and cost nothing do Chuck Norris can even kill five stones with one bird but yeah I think that it's okay so anyways the data suggests that this inspiratory muscle strength improving the speed and episodic memory lowers blood pressure and it may be related to possibly sleep I don't know so that's my question so with a minute left on a plant a seed on you I did a show called superhuman radio with Carl Lenora Noriega and we got he's funny because he'll just go off on tangents and we get into a tangent where he said he cured his sleep apnea by doing throat exercises okay using an instrument were they get into that at the top of the hour like like a metal instrument or a musical instrument you know what you get into it it might be a kazoo I don't know basically what to look into this and then I looked at this and I want to tell you while you're practicing the instrument oh some science behind it so that you just realize I'm not to try to make you look silly now you know I'm sure I'll dig right at the top of the hour you're gonna work even though you don't snore more to at least improve your memory okay by doing inspiratory techniques the way that this particular study was done for the in-store thing is it's like sucking through a really hard resistant so this is different this specifically the instrument that were to do with going to strengthen the posterior hypo pharynx so that people like me that snort it'll tighten those muscles like some natural positive pressure be exact exactly so 10 seconds left 10 seconds will basically that's going to be the first hour of the catching project really back in second hour with cooking with Katie MD CVD as well as how can we learn about this mystery instrument to stop OSA

course good lobotomy.com/spooning love my tummy.com/money for your own are trying to heal in your own polyphenols if you want to make certain that you can control your information naturally absolutely and feed your microbiologist like her to come code spooning for your natural polyphenols and all the benefits come along with it feeding your micro biomes in the last half-hour the fascinating proteins are produced by bacteria of the beneficial genome that we have within us the happiness is endless microbiota so we left this last half hour and I'm now curious I've learned that I'm going to put on the spot anything on the spot to do something and it's going to be to cure my sleep at me that I don't have by the way but I'm going to take care of it and you said that I'm going to show how to do it while you explain what were doing correct so we talked last half-hour about this inventory muscle of benefit of breathing to that little thing where you can actually decrease systolic blood pressure that I thought an article inspired by Carl and or superhuman radio about from the British medical Journal to assess the effects of playing the didgeridoo Long daytime sleepiness another outcome related to sleep by reducing collapse ability of the upper airways in patients with moderate obstructive sleep apnea okay so straight out Australia from the it's an aboriginal instrument right yeah so my neighbors Australian I've never played Lloyd a was complaining about me snoring is why would I want to do that is Australia snow was didgeridoo at your neighbor Paul Hogan so of course him and I went around my yard while you that and we had yeah we we we grabbed a branch and we refashioned traditional didgeridoo guide to brand yeah and so what what you do is you carve out the middle of it termites Doolittle that now you know I am what you will notice as these are this is his family crest from my and my neighbor we have yes Hogan I can see yes yes right there so the salamander at that point so I would have you do is I will tell you about the rest of the story and you're going to hold this and learn it because we can have you play the didgeridoo learn learn it yesterday we are taught that sin but let me tell you why it's so important so the this is a randomized placebo-controlled trial which is really funny because I don't know how you do a placebo verse of the didgeridoo were somebody holding something like this and the other guys holding a kazoo or set together banks and obstruct and adjust but so there was a randomized controlled trial were they looked at 25 patients a greater than age 18 with no apnea and hypoxia did also complained about snoring and so this is kind of funny here and so participants in the didgeridoo group practice an average of 5.9 days a week for 25 minutes so you can do 25 inspirations to decrease your blood pressure okay then you bust out your didgeridoo and your practice for 25 minutes and then they compared that with the control group in the de jure group daytime sleepiness significantly improved they did sleep study and apnea hypoxia significantly improved and most important there was a significant improvement in partner complaints about snoring disturbances of throw everything else out vessel and the matters that so if you play 25 minutes the didgeridoo so I was kinda shocked that Carl Lenore was exactly right he was able to fix his obstructive sleep apnea because he played the didgeridoo as a method methodologic response to improve OSA so just where talk about the football player when he does all these regimented past I have obstructive sleep apnea that's what you're holding this that's why me and my neighbor works so hard to craft and out so that I would have one of those what's fascinating is in a self-reported effect of the quality of sleep they did not notice a difference say that again daytime sleepiness improved hypoxia improved the spouse felt no significant difference but the self perception of better sleep didn't take place which is why so many people with apnea don't realize they have apnea okay even though clinically you're getting better right subject would be your like my went to bed I woke up that is interesting but they at least recorded they were more lively or more awake during the day they recorded more lively more weight less spousal complaints and they showed in a hypoxia thing overnight that improved by yeah now that's pretty awesome so even when you think you're sleeping unfortunately many people just simply aren't so the combined analysis of sleep-related outcome should I moderate to very large effect of didgeridoo playing the conclusion is regular didgeridoo playing is an effective treatment alternative well accepted by patients with moderate obstructive sleep apnea so that I started get more into it and I realize that there's multiple studies on this and in fact they did a feasibility study with the VA population with those that have known sleep apnea so they took this cohort of people that are in the VA and that the using resources for their obstructive sleep apnea on the today if you were given a didgeridoo what would be the likelihood that you would at least try and do this for your charges about me and I had like a two third response for this again we want to go ahead and try to so there were try to see if this be feasible to proceed with a large study so they emailed like 300 or the mail 344 surveys so exciting that like 67% of the people expressed interest that they would consider doing something like this so how do you play the so babble I don't know it looks like a wide birthed woodwind instrument and I would imagine it would be similar to a brass instrument and only you can see on the camera on and try point right there you can come see Ellie down it's a big hole this looks like it's the mouthpiece I'm assuming it's more narrow than the big one right so I would give you a six step practice of mastering oh mastering mastering what outbursts were skipping straight at past novice like in three minutes okay I am going to have you actually try to think what song I could get you to play in the did you know yeah I mean anything by the Eagles I'm sure a lot of function is 80 take Seattle chaotic cake yeah they all of those bands often featured injury do I mean most you know I read this note back in the day when via trauma do find the music they all started out as didgeridoo and then they would build that then it would convert to guitar converted to percussion and everything that was that lady said that that that 50 stand on the didgeridoo I know I was still I was really depressed off that Bohemian Rhapsody I mean that's how they started with didgeridoo they can show that Freddie Mercury getting to seem his overbite prevented him from playing I know I know all of that is true so this thing here is that you have to do something else circular breathing okay okay so circular breathing is something work in I apparently and most what instruments I don't know this but the didgeridoo it's centuries it's essential for didgeridoo play maintaining pressure out of the mouth while inspiring to the notes trying 100% you nailed it right there so this is accomplished by storing air in the mouth inflating of the cheeks must be style okay and using this reservoir of air to SP inhale through the nose while air is still coming out of the mouth circular breathing is key to didgeridoo playing because it allows for continuous drones remain unbroken so I believe that if the circular breathing that forces your posterior pharynx to tighten up even you don't really have to play the didgeridoo is good is Freddie Mercury couldn't before he to Bohemian Rhapsody cry but what you can do is race master the circular breathing and then once you get to do that you need to breathe through your nose with inflated sheets I did find a website that described practicing this in the shower where you trying to spit water out while you breathe through your nose that trained you on the exact motion to do it to fill your mouth up with water in your spirit just like a little stream of water wall your breathing through your nose and that is actually circular breathing okay it's I got some YouTube things were I saw some of some different people doing and they can maintain a tone for like minutes just sound like one continuous breath it's really cool so what you can do is you can help your nose exhale through your mouth with inflated sheets now as you inhale to the nose while squeezing the air out of your mouth the way to make that sound is to start out with a like you'd like the yoga breathing were they just do like I love you ever done yoga with a talk about that we do that you sho
What is schizophrenia? It is a psychotic disorder that typically results in hallucinations and delusions, leaving a person with impeded daily functioning. The word schizophrenia translates roughly as the "splitting of the mind," and comes from the Greek roots schizein ( "to split") and phren- ( "mind"). The onset of the disease typically occurs in young adulthood; for males, around 21 years of age, for females, around 25 years of age. We don’t know exactly what causes schizophrenia. There are certain predictors for it, and as I discussed the basics and pharmacology a previous podcast, frequent marijuana use can increase the risk of a psychotic or schizophrenic illness to about 4 times what it would be without THC use. History of schizophrenia Sometimes, in ancient literature, it can be difficult to distinguish between the different psychotic disorders, but as far as we know, the oldest available description of an illness resembling schizophrenia is thought to have existed in in the Ebers papyrus from Egypt, around 1550 BC. Throughout history, in groups with religious beliefs, the misunderstanding of the psychopathologies caused people to paint those with mental health disorders as receiving divine punishments. This theme of divine punishment continues today in some parts of the world. It wasn’t until Emil Kraeplin, a german psychiatrist (1856-1926) that schizophrenia was suggested to be more biological and genetic in origin. In around 1887, Kraeplin differentiated what we call schizophrenia today from other forms of psychosis. At that time he described schizophrenia as dementia of early life. In 1911, Eugen Bleuler introduced schizophrenia as a word in a lecture at a psychiatric conference in Berlin (Kuhn, 2004). Bleuler also identified the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia which we use today. Kurt Schneider, a german psychiatrist, coined the difference between endogenous depression and reactive depression. He also improved the diagnosis of schizophrenia by creating a list of psychotic symptoms typical in schizophrenia that were termed “first rank symptoms.” His list was: Auditory hallucinations Thought insertion Thought broadcasting Thought withdrawal Passivity experiences Primary delusions Delusional perception (the belief that a normative perception has a certain significance) Sigmund Freud furthered the research, believing that psychiatric illnesses may result from unconscious conflicts originating in childhood. His work eventually affected how the psychiatric world and society generally viewed the disease. The history and lack of understanding of the disease is a dark history, and it is still deeply stigmatized, but psychiatry has made massive leaps in understanding schizophrenia and changing how it is viewed in modern society. Nazi germany, the United States, and other Scandinavian countries (Allen, 1997) used to sterilize individuals with schizophrenia. In the Action T4 program in Nazi Germany, there was involuntary euthanasia of the mentally unwell, including people with schizophrenia. The euthanasia started in 1939, and officially discontinued in 1941 but didn’t actual stop until military defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945 (Lifton, 1988). Dr. Karl Brandt and the chancellery chief Philipp Bouhler expanded the authority for doctors so they could grant anyone considered incurable a mercy killing. In reading about this event, it seems that This caused approximately 200,000 deaths. In the 1970’s, psychiatrists Robins and Guze introduced new criteria for deciding on the validity of a diagnostic category (Kendell, 2003). By the 1980’s, so much was understood about the disease that the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) was revised. Now, schizophrenia is ranked by World Health Organization as one of the top 10 illnesses contributing to global burden of disease (Murray, 1996). Unfortunately, it is still largely stigmatized, leading to an increased schizophrenia in the homeless population, some estimates showing up to 20% vs the less than 1% incidence in the US average population. In conclusion On the podcast episode, we discuss the media’s portrayal of schizophrenia. Although media paints mentally ill as often violent, on average people with mental illness only cause 5% of violent episodes. This is just one example of how the stigma is furthered. The more we understand about this disorder—what causes it, how we can help, how we can provide therapy and medicate and treat patients—the better. Getting rid of the stigma by learning the history and also moving beyond preconceived ideas to the newest science will also help de-isolate people with schizophrenia and help support them in communities, giving them a chance at a normal, healthy life.

In this special follow-up bonus episode to the one I recently did on "The Psychology of Conversion," I move further into developing psychiatrist Dr Robert Jay Lifton's model of cult formation. Lifton demonstrates how, in 8 different ways and methods, cults and cult leaders operate to control and manipulate their followers. This is a fascinating study for me, and has proven to be very helpful for others who have come out of cults or groups with undue influence. Beyond exploring his 8 characteristics of cults, I also delve a bit into the markers of cult leaders and how it is they tend to operate. Further, I relate much of it to evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity, which is my own background.
Prof. Lifton studies the psychological causes and effects of wars and political violence. Author of among others: Death in Life: Survivors of Hiroshima
This special bonus episode draws upon the work of psychologist Dr Robert Lifton and his seminal 1961 work on the psychology of brainwashing, Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of "Brainwashing" in China. In particular, I make use of Lifton's 12-step model to explore further the psychology of conversion, as well as what happens to a person who deconstructs his or her religious faith and leaves their church or cult group behind--the process of "deconversion," or spiritual transitioning. This is a helpful discussion particularly for ex-evangelicals, but also for those who have left a cult. Unpicking the conditioning, and understanding how you were controlled and manipulated will help you reconstruct your sense of self--and your identity.

In Between Two Ages, the first long series I did for Ideas in early 1981, I began to explore the unique character of our historical moment, and to advance the idea that only a radical change of mind could respond to its demands. Three years later, I got a chance to follow up that initial effort with the present series. Its organizing image or paradigm is the idea of a new age – the way in which I then spoke about my dawning recognition that received social and political forms are quite unable to grasp humanity’s new situation. The intervening thirty-four years have made me more tentative, but, if you take away a certain brash, post-1960's confidence that a reconciliation between men and women, modernity and tradition, humanity and nature was on the horizon, there is much in that way of looking at things that I would still affirm today. Certainly the sparkling cast I managed to assemble makes this series worth revisiting. Among its luminaries are Northrop Frye, Raimundo Panikkar, Robert J. Lifton, Father Thomas Berry and many others, whose names I have listed below.One of the characteristic features of the documentary form, as I’ve observed when re-introducing other old series as well, is that many different points of view are made to align and march, more or less, in the same direction. A few years later, I would have treated the many thinkers represented here separately, and tried to understand what was distinctive in each one’s approach. I don’t mean I have papered over their differences here, or that there was anything promiscuous about the way I assembled these particular people. Each one was, in some way, a teacher to me, and each one’s work bore on the themes that I wanted to develop. I mean only that, once one has interviewed so many people, the challenge of integrating them all into a more or less coherent structure, leaves little room for the contextualization of each speaker, or for consideration of all the ways in which they differ from one another, and from the consenus, however rough, that I was imposing on them by smushing them all together in one program. That said, I still find that these shows make interesting listening. The dramatis personae is as follows: Part One: Dhyane Ywahoo, Northrop Frye, Joseph Brown, Raimundo Panikkar, Derrick de Kerckhove, Thomas Berry, Ewart CousinsPart Two: Dhyani Ywahoo, Joseph Brown, Richard Lee, Ashley Montagu, Stanley Diamond, Joseph CampbellPart Three: Walter Odajnyk, Robert J. Lifton, Ira Progroff, Jean Houston, Richard MossPart Four: David Spangler, Northrop Frye, Raimundo Panikkar, Ewart Cousins, Thomas Berry, Matthew Fox

Best Evidence David Lifton "Final Charade" preview: Explosive New JFK Evidence never heard before Part 2 of 2
I'm Brent Holland and welcome to night fright. November 22, 1963 Dealey Plaza, Dallas Texas. JFK is assassinated and the world changed in that instant. To sit in the seat “Jack” sat, takes a person with idealism. Idealism for humanity. November 22, 1963 saw that idealism betrayed. Through my many personal conversations with JFK aid and speech writer Ted Sorensen he told me that the United Sates nor any other country could suffer the loss of a JFK, Bbby or DR. King and expect business as usual. In my view, we are suffering the consequences of those assassinations today. I have interviewed over one hundred people who are connected with the JFK assassination and in every case they all mention a single book in their libraries that they constantly refer back to, a single book that has inspired them to continue their own research on the Kennedy assassination That book is called Best Evidence Its author and our guest tonight is the legendary David Lifton.
Matthias Riedl is an associate professor of history and holds the privately supported Chair of Comparative Religious Studies at Central European University (Budapest, Hungary). Before coming to CEU Budapest, he taught at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, and Duke University. His research interest is the comparative history of religion, with a focus on the relation of religion and politics. Lecture Details: The analytical category of "apocalyptic violence" has been frequently applied in recent studies of terrorism, sectarian violence, and revolutionary action. As the psychologist Robert J. Lifton put it: "Apocalyptic violence denotes the readiness to cause enormous destruction in the service of spiritual purification. A world must cease to exist in order to make space for a better one." However, as Riedl will discuss, the category is by no means self-explanatory, since apocalyptic literature is traditionally deterministic and dissuades the readers from taking action. A historical overview will demonstrate that revolutionary and violent forms of apocalypticism emerge only in early modernity, when mystical and humanist influences undermine the determinist creed. Riedl therefore argues that apocalyptic violence, despite its references to an ancient symbolic tradition, is a decidedly modern phenomenon.
This show is a veritable pastiche of comedy podcasts from all over the interwebs as, each week, my self and our esteemed associate producer, Tyson Saner, get out there and harvest clips from shows both far AND wide. Sometimes comedy podcasters themselves even send along clips from their shows – which they are always welcome to do – after all, who knows their shows better than they themselves? In this show, Epi92, we have got not only a solid handful or so of clips but also an interview with three guys who are behind a show some Succotashians will have heard me mention before. The show — Speechless – is a live comedy show with a whole new format that’s been running San Francisco for the past year and a half. (Full disclosure: I’ve been a part of the behind-the-scenes action.) It’s beginning to get some real notice and it’s also starting to get out beyond the Bay Area. In fact, coming up on August 25th, Speechless will make its debut in New York. Very exciting stuff, and later on in the show I’ll have my interview with Sammy Wegent (who was our guest way back in Epi35, talking about his web series Everybody's A Comedian) and producers Scott Lifton and Anthony Veneziale. The Usual Stuff On tap this episode we have TWO Burst O' Durst segments with political/cultural comedian Will Durst, a classic Henderson's Pants commercial, and our Tweetsack segment. They're Back (Almost…) One of the things we're playing for you in this epi is a teaser announcement from our friends at the Superego podcast. They will be back with long-awaited season 4 in September and, as part of the announcement, it seems that Paul F. Tompkins - who was a frequent guest with Superego in the past - is now a regular cast member. The Top 10 Most Active Show in Stitcher's Top 100 Comedy Podcast List Normally when I look at the Top 100 Comedy Podcasts on Stitcher, I don’t even glance at the top ten any more because it never seems to change. But this past week, it looks like some shifting has been going on – there’s even a show up there I’ve never heard of! And normally the moves are pretty meek – get a load of the swing numbers this week: AT MOVED7 Fernando & Greg’s Daily Podcast +1627 SModcast >> Edumacation +2537 Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4 -3457 About Last Night Podcast -4762 This Week In Blackness Radio +3965 The Dead Authors Podcast +4869 Vos & Bonnie’s “My Wife Hates Me” +2983 Wits -6798 Kumail Nanjiani’s The X-Files Files +60100 Who’s Paying Attention +99 There was a LOT of action in that Top 100 list this week – those were just the top movers. Hop over to http://Stitcher.com and you can check it out yourself. The Clips Here are the comedy podcasts that we're featuring in this episode. To visit each show's homesite, simply click on the title to the show listed below. Attaboy ClarenceOkay, so this podcast that is not a comedy podcast per se. The host is not a comedian and the subject matter, although some it may venture into the comedy area, is also not about comedy. Nonetheless, the Attaboy Clarence podcast IS a funny offering, as served up by the host, Adam Roche. The focus is classic movies and old time radio shows – which, for my money, is the closest thing there has ever been, historically speaking, to podcasts. This clip is actually the opening to the show from recent episode 17, harvested by our AP, Tyson Saner, and recommended to us by both @Good_Podcasts and Megan M aka @PodcastWhore. The Snooki Podcast OR The Naturally Nicole PodcastI was not a fan or even a viewer of The Jersey Shore when it was taking TV by storm. Not a fan of reality TV at all, actually. (Mostly because I write for TV and why would I be rooting for content that gives me LESS of a chance of writing than I already fight against?) Anyway, Jersey Shore. Not a fan. Not really sure who Snooki is. Nor is she, apparently. She has a podcast now – so you KNOW podcasting is beginning to hit the mainstream – and even she can’t decide to call it The Snooki Podcast or The Naturally Nicole Podcast, because Nicole Polizzi is her real name. Grumpy Young MenTommy and Justin are a couple of Canadian lads who host the Grumpy Young Men podcast. And they grouse about everyday topics like movies, technology, business, and life in general. Like most of the podcasts featuring guys sitting around and chatting about stuff, they’re about as well informed as anyone else who gets their news from Twitter, Google, and web chatter in general. Broken FilterGot a request via the Twitter to check out a podcast called Broken Filter, hosted by Rockstar Joe and Jonesy. I get the feeling after checking out their site that they frequently have guests, although I clipped a chunk out of a recent show that featured just the two hosts together. (They actually do a “livecast” every Tuesday night at 8 PM EDT from Port Chester, New York, via video on ZenTV.tv, then audio podcast it later.) The clip we have features one of their usual feature, Random Thoughts. WANHTPY (We Are Not Here To Please You)If you’re new to Podcastland you may not know that podcasting is truly an international phenomenon. And here on Succotash, we regularly features shows from all over the place, including the US, Canada, Britain, and Australia. I think THIS is the first time that we’ve gotten a slice from a show in Finland, all thanks to the hosts – Rafael and Arttu – suggesting that we give their show a listen. Our man Tyson grabbed a chunk from W-A-N-H-T-P-Y, that’s how it’s listed on iTunes. It stands for We Are Not Here To Please You and that’s a tough call which of those you’re even going to remember. Rafael is German. Arttu is Finnish. And their website says they decided to record a podcast “just for the hell of it.” Huh. I think that’s everybody’s story, really. But these guys do it in Finland, so that’s something different. Their guest this episode is J. Scott Peter, who has something to do with the video game biz. That's it for Epi92. Feel free to help us out in defraying the costs behind doing this podcast. There are THREE different ways right on the Succotash homesite itself that you can use: The Amazon banner at the top of the page, the Donate button on the right-hand side of the page. Or the Succotashery - where our merch lives - also on the right-hand side. Little help? Please remember to pass the Succotash! — Marc Hershon
Joshua Lifton is one of the founders of Crowd Supply, a company that crowdfunds around products. They take a very different approach to preparation, funding, and follow-up than Kickstarter. Kickstarter just announced that it had crossed $1bn in pledges in its five-year lifetime. Of that, it's disbursed nearly $850m. It's on track to facilitate perhaps half a billion in 2014 alone. The name Kickstarter may be used interchangeably with the term crowdfunding, and it is the 800 lb. gorilla in the space. (Watch out for the shipping charges on that gorilla, especially internationally.) But in its wake, hundreds of millions of dollars are being raised from all sorts of other sites which fill in important aspects of ecosystem, and Crowd Supply is one of them.
