We go to the source - a Mexican psychotherapist named Salvador Roquet, who is known as a “master of bad trips.” It starts to dawn on “Susan” that the problem is not her one rogue mentor.

We cross through the portal to the underground where “Susan” goes through the training to become a psychedelic therapist. Her mentor Eyal crosses way too many boundaries. (Is he the wolf?). And we finally meet Francoise Bourzat, honey-voiced trainer of trainers. In an earlier version of episode 3, we misidentified Eyal Goren as a “licensed therapist.” He became a licensed therapist in the State of California in November of 2019. When "Susan" became his client, he was still registered as an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist. We've updated the episode to correct the mistake.

He didn’t particularly care about the place or the job itself, but at least it was steady work with a decent paycheck. He’d been working there for a couple of years now, at least as a way to pay his way through Strickfield University. As he walked through the plant to get to his work area, he knew it was going to be hot as hell. Carrying his lunch box, he knew he would soon get even more hell from one of his coworkers about what was inside. Robbie had been living the vegan lifestyle for the last few months. He had been careful to avoid eating literally anything that came from animals. That included – in addition to not eating meat – dairy, eggs, or any processed foods containing animal byproducts. Whenever he’d go out to eat, he was careful to avoid eating fried foods cooked in shared oil. He had even gone to a vegan festival in Erie City. When Robbie reached his work area, he punched in at the time clock. After putting his earplugs in, he went to his locker to change into his work shoes and prepare for his shift. It wasn’t long before he was greeted by a troublesome coworker in the form of Aaron Jameston. Aaron and Robbie were opposites in many ways. Robbie was a head taller than Aaron, also thinner. Robbie had long dark hair that went down to his shoulders and was always clean-shaven, while Aaron kept his head shaved and had a long, shaggy beard. Robbie’s skin was a clean slate, while Aaron had many tattoos. The big difference was that Aaron was a hunter who always bragged about his kills, the trophies that he kept from many of them, and all the meat that he enjoyed. Then he learned that the new guy in his department, this quiet young pup, wasn’t a meat eater – a vegan – which got his attention in more ways than one. As always, Aaron just looked at Robbie with contempt and disgust. Robbie knew and expected this every day, but he didn’t care. He’d been used to people picking on him about his vegan ways. Some of his other coworkers had asked him many questions about his veganism, mainly because they were curious. For the most part, people usually left him alone. Aaron Jameston, however, had issues with Robbie and would be anything but subtle. “What kinda rabbit food you bring today, Rabbit?” Aaron asked, taking a seat at a picnic table across from Robbie. Robbie remained calm, in spite of the nickname Aaron had hung on him. He looked up at Aaron. “What do you care?” Aaron was twice Robbie’s age and never liked when people back-talked him. There were times when he wanted to just lay into Robbie. Sure, Robbie always did his job and turned out great numbers. Just the same, he wanted to find something – anything – to justify giving Robbie a good ol’ fashioned ass whooping. As long as they both worked for Mirren Automotive, however, Aaron couldn’t physically lay a hand on Robbie, in or out of the plant. Not if he wanted to keep his job. “What, you don’t wanna tell me?” Aaron said in his always-threatening tone. Robbie sighed. “Look, we both know you really don’t care about the food I bring. So why don’t you just save it?” Aaron smiled, which Robbie knew was never a good thing. “Lemme explain somethin’ to you, Rabbit. I don’t know what you think yer doin’ with all this vegan bullshit. But here, outside Strickfield, we’re hunters. That means meat is the way we do things. We love our meat. We kill for our meat. We eat meat! Now you come in here with yer vegan bullshit and expect us to just stop eatin’ meat?” Robbie held up his hand in front of him. “Whoa! Let’s get something straight. I don’t go around telling anybody to not eat meat. There are vegans out there that would, but I personally don’t care what you eat. You eat what you want, and I’ll eat what I want. I mainly do it for health reasons, if you must know. I’ve lost weight because of it.” Aaron kept on him. “So . . . you sayin’ we’re all fat fucks ’cause we eat meat?” True, Aaron was quite portly for a little man, but Robbie wouldn’t go there. “I never said that. Don’t put words in my mouth.” Aaron threw his arms up. “Why the fuck be a rabbit? Why can’t you just go bust yer ass at the gym or somethin’? Why you gotta be so fuckin’ different?” Robbie countered, “Again, what do you care? I’m not here to preach vegan. I’m here to do my job and get paid so I can keep the lights on at my place, eat, and attend college. Leave me alone, okay?” Aaron smiled more sinister now. “Yeah, yer a rabbit now.” He pointed at Robbie and shook his finger. “I seen yer kind before. Yer gonna crack. Yer gonna be back. Yer gonna eat meat again. Know why?” He leaned in a little. “’Cause that’s the way it is. Our ancestors have been huntin’ and eatin’ meat since caveman years. Meat is the way! The only way! There ain’t no room in this world for fuckin’ rabbits like you. People like you are weak. Always have been.” Just then, Robbie and Aaron were greeted by the presence of their boss. “Hey, Aaron, you causing trouble back here again?” Mike Cruz demanded. “How many times have I talked to you about that? You looking to get wrote up or what?” Aaron wasn’t even afraid to talk back to his own boss. “You already wrote me up! What more you gonna do? I’m just havin’ a conversation with Rabbit here.” “I don’t see anybody here named Rabbit,” Mike snapped. “Last time I’m telling you, quit getting in everybody’s shit! I’m sorry about what happened to your sister, but mind your own goddamn business! You wanna keep going this way, I’ll give you your final write-up. After that, I’ll have no other choice but to walk you out. That what you want? You both do good work in this department, and I don’t want to lose either one of you. But if you keep it up, Aaron, you’re gonna be out on your ass. We on the same page here?” Aaron chuckled and looked at Robbie. “Know what, Rabbit? Yer part of a dyin’ breed. I mean it. Yer dead! Know why? ’Cause we meat-eaters hunt rabbits and other plant-eaters like you. You understandin’ me, you fuckin’ weaklin’? Only the strong survive! It’s only a matter of time before you end up like all God’s creatures . . . right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy! My sister was a fuckin’ rabbit – just like you. It didn’t keep her from bein’ kidnapped and killed a few months back. And you know what?” He pointed in a random direction. “The fucker that did it is still out there – still roamin’ free! And that’s another thing! Women are in the same place as you rabbits on the food chain – nothin’ but weak, dead weight. When the killer catches up to you . . . I’m gonna laugh my fuckin’ ass off.” Mike had had enough. “You know what, Aaron? Go home! This ain’t negotiable! We don’t need your shit here. It’s obvious you still ain’t over your sister’s death. Go home and cool off. Last warning! You come back in here tomorrow and start your shit again, I won’t worry about no final write-up. I’ll just walk you out myself, and you won’t have a job here no more.” He pointed in the direction of the nearest door. “Go home! Now!” Aaron didn’t move at first. Finally, he slammed his palms on the table, making sure he got Robbie’s attention. Then he stood up, still smiling his sinister smile at Robbie. “Be seein’ you, Rabbit.” “Move!” Mike commanded him. “Fuck you, I’m goin’!” Aaron snapped. Robbie and Mike both heard Aaron yelling and cursing as he moved to the exit door and walked out of the plant. Robbie was relieved to not have to work with Aaron, at least for today. Robbie managed to avoid Aaron when he returned to work. He started taking his lunch box to a different break area and eating there. Mike had told Aaron not to talk to Robbie, unless it was work related. However, that didn’t keep Aaron from giving him his sinister looks. Over time, Robbie had heard around the work area about what had happened to Aaron’s sister, Susan. Aaron had never gotten along with Susan. True, Aaron was old enough to be Robbie’s father . . . and Susan’s. Aaron’s mother had taken over raising him when her husband, David, had died of a heart attack. Aaron was around ten, and he never really got over the loss of his father. After that, he looked up to his uncle, George, who was even meaner and more vicious than his dad. Still, Uncle George taught Aaron everything he knew about hunting and fishing. Then, when Aaron had reached twenty, his mother had met a man named William Sanders. Aaron didn’t think much about it at first. As far as he was concerned, William wasn’t going to be around long. All of the other men before him had left. But months went by and William was still around, committed to his mother. Aaron never saw the surprises coming when his mother made two big announcements. The first was that she and William were getting married. The second was that she was going to have William’s baby. Aaron flew into a wild rage and threatened to shoot William. As far as Aaron was concerned, he was the man of the house – end of story. Just the same, William and Rosie were married. Months later, Susan came into the world. Aaron would never come to accept this daughter as his sister and let William and Rosie know about it on no uncertain terms. As Susan grew up, Aaron would be verbally abusive towards her. Being an overbearing bully, he never had to raise his hand to her. Over time, Susan became both angry and afraid of Aaron. As long as William and Rosie were around, Susan felt some semblance of safety from Aaron. Over the last two years that Susan had lived at home, she had taken up a vegan lifestyle and refused to eat anything that Aaron had put on the table for her. Aaron became increasingly frustrated and abusive with her because of it. Susan had finally decided that she wasn’t going to tolerate Aaron anymore. During her junior year at Strickfield High School, Susan moved out and went to live with friends who shared her compassion for animals, who were also vegan. It had taken a restraining order to keep Aaron away from Susan. After Susan graduated from high school, she had gone on to Strickfield University. Aaron was around forty and had become meaner and bitter than ever. During this time, Rosie had died. William died not too long after. By then, Susan was living in a dorm room at Strickfield University. Aaron had been arrested once for breaking the restraining order during Susan’s freshman year at Strickfield University. He’d gotten drunk and confronted Susan in Wilder Hall, the student union building. Susan decided not to press charges, and he was released. The police gave him a warning about what would happen if he broke his restraining order again. Aaron had heard through the grapevine that Susan had met someone on campus and was seeing him. He didn’t know who the person was, but he was determined to find him and make life hell for anyone who thought about hooking up with Susan. A few months later, Aaron was arrested again when it was revealed that both Susan and her boyfriend had been kidnapped. The remains of their bodies were found not too long after, with their clothes on them and the flesh and muscles stripped clean off. Aaron went into a rage when he was in jail and screamed up and down that he had nothing to do with the abductions or murders. Aaron would be released since it was proven that he didn’t abduct and kill Susan and her boyfriend, whose name he didn’t know because he never could remember it. He had been home drinking with friends, all of whom were able to vouch for him. Aaron continued to go further down the spiral, and it showed at Mirren Automotive. If it wasn’t for Mike Cruz keeping the peace, Aaron would have created quite the hostile working environment. A month later, Robbie had accepted some overtime at Mirren and was given an hour break to go and get some dinner. Robbie hadn’t packed extra food for the overtime period, but he knew that Rockne’s Bar and Grill across the street was a place that had vegan options and decided to go there. Robbie went in and sat at the bar. Rockne himself knew Robbie and told him of the vegan special, which was a meatloaf dinner with macaroni and cheese and a vegetable medley. Robbie felt the glare and saw that Aaron was sitting about four seats down from him. Still, he knew that old man Rockne didn’t put up with Aaron outbursts in his bar any more than Mike Cruz did at work. Aaron gave Robbie his sinister smile, but he made no move. Robbie looked back to Rockne. “Sounds good. I’m going to go use the restroom.” “Your food’ll be waiting here for you when you get back, kid,” Rockne said. Aaron watched as Robbie walked away. He watched with even greater anticipation as Rockne prepared the college rabbit’s food. He put the finished plate on the table and then put the silverware next to the plate. He finished it off by putting a glass of water down. As soon as Rockne went to the back, Aaron struck. He had a big bowl of beef gravy that he used for his plate of food. There was quite a bit of it left. He picked it up and moved over to Robbie’s plate. After making sure that Rockne was still in the back, he tilted the bowl and poured the gravy all over everything. When he finished, he went back to his seat. When Robbie returned and sat down, he immediately noticed the gravy all over his food. When Rockne came back out, Robbie made his complaint. Rockne looked at the plate. “I didn’t put any gravy on that, kid.” He groaned. “I’ll getcha a new plate.” “The fuck you will!” Aaron called out. Then he pointed at Robbie. “You just sit yer ass down there and eat that food right there.” Rockne pointed right at Aaron. “I’m putting this meal on your tab, you little son of a bitch.” Aaron ignored Rockne and got off his stool. “Well, come on, Rabbit! Sit down there and eat.” Rockne said to Robbie, “Don’t touch that food. I’ll getcha a new plate.” Aaron glared at him. “No, you will not! He’s eatin’ this one.” He glared at Robbie. “Eat that food there! Or I swear to God I’ll fuckin’ feed it to you myself.” “Since you tainted my food, I’m not touching it,” Robbie replied in defiance. Aaron’s glare turned into a sinister smile. “Fine, have it yer way.” Aaron hauled off and punched Robbie in the face with enough force to send him backward and flying over a nearby table. Aaron was quickly around to the other side. He pulled Robbie up and hauled off on him again. Before Robbie could fall, Aaron picked him up into a fireman’s carry. He took Robbie to another table and slammed him right top of it, making the table collapse. “What’s the matter, Rabbit?” Aaron taunted. “It’s vegan food, ain’t it? I just spiced it up a little for you.” He kicked Robbie in the gut. “This place used to be just for real men. Then you fuckin’ college kids came along with yer vegan shit. Now Rockne’s servin’ rabbit food here.” He kicked Robbie in the gut again. “You can’t even get a real man’s meal in here no more.” He kicked Robbie in the gut one more time. “Because of you fuckin’ rabbits!” Robbie tried to pick himself up. Aaron helped him up enough to punch him hard in the gut. “Look at you! You ain’t even a real fuckin’ man. Yer just some sissy-ass kid who can’t even fight me.” Aaron grabbed Robbie’s hair and pulled him back to the bar. Before Robbie could think, Aaron shoved his face right into the gravy-soaked food. Then he started rubbing Robbie’s face in it. “Come on, Rabbit! Come on! Eat that fuckin’ rabbit food. Doesn’t that gravy make it taste that much better? Huh? Mmmmmm . . . ! Eat as much as you want!” But the sound of the pump-action shotgun quickly forced Aaron to let go of Robbie. Rockne had pulled his shotgun out from underneath the bar and was now aiming it right at Aaron. “Let go of the kid, you little bastard!” When Aaron hesitated, Rockne screamed, “I said let him go!” Aaron finally let go of Robbie and stepped back very slowly. Rockne gave Robbie a wet towel. “Here, kid, wipe yourself off. Don’t worry, I just called the cops.” Aaron raised his hands in front of him as Rockne kept the gun on him. “Now, look here, old man . . . We wouldn’t want –” “Shut the fuck up, Aaron!” Rockne interrupted. “You’re done here! You hear me?! You’re banned for life from here. You ever step foot in my place ever again, and I’ll blow your goddamn head clean off. And you know I mean just what I’m saying! And don’t think I ain’t collecting what you owe me for wrecking my place.” Then Aaron heard another voice. “Hey, Aaron! You ever step foot in Mirren Automotive ever again, and I’ll have security walk your ass out.” Aaron quickly spun around and saw Mike Cruz standing there. He pointed right at Mike. “Bullshit! You didn’t see nothin’!” “I saw enough,” Mike said. “You’re fired! You hear me? Fired! Don’t even bother coming back to work. I’ll be in on Saturday. You can come back in and get your shit then.” Mike came over to Robbie. “You okay, kid?” Robbie nodded. “I’ll be all right?” “I got the police coming,” Rockne told Aaron. “I’m pressing charges on you. You’re paying for all the damage you caused here – and that ruined plate.” Aaron pointed right at Rockne. “Fuck you, old man! You ain’t gettin’ one goddamn dime outta me.” He pointed at Robbie now. “This ain’t over between you and me, Rabbit! Yer permanently on my fuckin’ shitlist!” When Rockne raised the shotgun to Aaron again, Aaron shouted curses as he turned and stormed out of the bar. Around 3:00am, Aaron sat in his pickup truck and eyed the Mirren Automotive east parking lot. Aaron took another swig out of the bottle of whiskey he’d brought with him and felt the alcohol mix really good with his anger. He caressed the double-barreled shotgun that he had sitting in the passenger’s side. “Yeah, you think I can’t think, huh, Rabbit?” Aaron muttered. “Maybe I never knew yer fuckin’ name, but I know where you leave here from. I know what car you drive. I’ll fuckin’ kill yer rabbit ass before you make it back to that panty-waste college of yers.” He took another swig, then shouted, “Vegan, my ass!” He didn’t have to wait that much longer. Eventually, he saw a small group of people coming out of the plant. He raised his binoculars and saw that Robbie was among them. He grinned with anticipation. “Ooooh, yeah! I’ll get you easy, boy. I’ll run you right offa the goddamn road. Then I’m gonna go on a little rabbit hunt.” As Aaron reached over to caress his shotgun again, he suddenly realized that it was no longer there. “What the fuck?!” Suddenly, he felt the double barrels being pressed right up against the left side of his neck. Aaron turned his head to see who managed to sneak his shotgun out of the open passenger’s side window and brought it over to his side. His eyes went wide when he recognized the face. “You?!” Aaron choked out. “Can’t be . . . ! Yer – !” Aaron didn’t have time to finish. The person quickly raised a pistol and fired it. Aaron gasped when he felt the dart hit his chest. He blacked out seconds later. Aaron opened his eyes and groaned. “What the fuck . . . ?” he mumbled. Aaron sniffed and recognized that all-too-familiar scent of smoked meat. When he managed to overcome more of the tranquilizer, he realized that he was tied up and elevated in some backyard somewhere. He looked and saw somebody was roasting a big slab of meat over an open fire. “What the fuck?!” he repeated. The person turned around. Then he moved over to Aaron. In the dim light, Aaron could see Robbie now. “Oh, hey! Glad to see you’re awake, Aaron. Guess that was some pretty good tranq, huh?” Aaron glared down at Robbie and demanded, “What the fuck you think yer doin’, Rabbit?!” Robbie laughed. “Why . . . just watching you hang around. Literally! Pretty soon, you’re going into that little building right behind you. Since you can’t see it, it’s a smokehouse. Oh, and you’re going to be getting smoked to perfection. Once you’re skinned, that is . . .” Aaron screamed with rage and tried to squirm free. Robbie wasn’t in the least bit intimidated. When Aaron couldn’t fight anymore, he glared at Robbie again. “Lemme go, God damn you!” Robbie laughed. “Congratulations, asshole! You were right about me. Me being a vegan won’t last. Okay, when we first met, I was eating vegan. Not because I wanted to, mind you. But the real truth is . . . you were the one I was hunting. See, I’m a hunter, too. Except I don’t just hunt deer and other wild animals. I also hunt for people that might make some great, tasty meat. And, yes, you were definitely right about meat being the way. Believe me, you were so right. And you are going to make some great eating once you’re all finished smoking.” Aaron growled. “When I get my fuckin’ hands on you, you son of a bitch . . . !” “Good luck with that,” Robbie said. “You might want to look down at your legs, though.” Aaron looked down to see that he not only had no pants on . . . he no longer had his lower legs!! Only stumps where they once were. “Holy motherfuckin’ shit! Oh, my fuckin’ god! Jesus fuckin’ – !” “Oh, for fuck’s sake, would you please – for once in yer life – just shut the fuck up?” a female voice familiar to Aaron called out from the back door. Aaron looked to see the girl who came and stood next to Robbie. “I did see you outside the factory . . . Susan! But . . . but . . . yer dead!” Robbie wrapped an arm around Susan’s waist. Then the two of them shared a kiss before they looked at Aaron again. “Our plan worked, lover,” Susan said. “Yes, it did,” Robbie agreed. “Goin’ to college was the best thing ever happened to me,” Susan explained to Aaron. “You see, when I met Robbie, he was such a sensitive guy. Yeah, he done has his problems, such as all the meat he eats, but he’s still all sweet on me. I mean, I literally fell in love with him at first sight.” Robbie smiled. “I used to think girls were trouble, especially the ones who lived out here in the country. Then I met your sister here – a country girl – while I was at the university. Boy, did she ever catch me off guard. Now, I don’t know how I ever lived without her. Anyway, when she told me about what an insufferable prick you were to her and how she had so many sleepless nights because of you . . .” He sighed. “I flat-out suggested just killing you.” Susan was angry now. “And, believe me, you don’t know how many times I wanted to blow yer fuckin’ head off while you was sleepin’. Robbie done showed me that killin’ you will be so easy. We’ll even benefit from you, too. Surprise! I ain’t vegan no more. Turns out I love eatin’ meat.” She giggled a little. “Human meat!” Susan picked up a knife and carved off a small piece of the meat from the roast. She turned back to Aaron. “This here’s one of yer legs over this here fire.” Aaron was horrified to see Susan put the cut meat into her mouth and eat it. She turned to Robbie. “Mmmm . . . smoked to perfection, baby.” Robbie smiled at Aaron. “For the record, I did go vegan for the last few months. See, Susan made a little bet with me. She said I couldn’t be vegan for two whole months, so I agreed to try it. She in turn agreed to try eating human meat. If I made it two months, which I did – today, she would go back to eating meat on the full-time basis.” He turned to her. “Don’t worry, hon, I won’t hold you to it. If you want to be vegan, it’s fine by me.” They shared another kiss. Then Susan said, “Vegan food is mighty good, but I’ll consider eatin’ human steaks. As long as it don’t bother you that I still wanna eat vegan.” Robbie shook his head. “No, we can eat vegan food. You were right, it’s actually not bad. I’d say we found our happy medium, you and me.” They kissed one more time. Again, Aaron struggled to free himself. He roared and thrashed with all his might. Finally, he realized it was useless and gave up. “You were dead, Susan!” Aaron protested. “You and yer college boyfriend both.” “You saw two bodies we done carved up,” Susan corrected him. “Robbie and I put our clothes on them bodies. The police never even thought to do any kinda forensics to see if they was really us or not. We’re both legally dead. My new name is Megan Farns now. We got married shortly after we decided we was gonna kill you.” “Speaking of killing you, Aaron,” Robbie said, “we’re going to strip the flesh off you. Then we’ll put you in the smokehouse and smoke you to perfection, just like we did your legs. Susan wanted to keep you alive long enough so she could see you before we do what needs to be done.” “I know I’ll savor every bite of you until yer all gone,” Megan murmured. “Still think I’m a rabbit now, you short little fat fucker?” Robbie teased. “This is bullshit!” Aaron cried. “Bullshit!” “Puttin’ up with you all them years of my life was bullshit,” Megan snapped. “Now I’ll sleep peacefully, and with my wonderful man.” She glanced at Robbie. “I’m done talkin’ to this shitheel now. Thank you for this opportunity, honey. I love you.” “I love you, too, babe. Here, I’ll give you the honors,” Robbie said, handing her a buck knife. Megan stepped up onto a sturdy metal ladder to look at Aaron one last time. “This is for my life of hell, you fuckin’ Neanderthal!” Aaron screamed as Megan stabbed him hard in his stomach. His blood was spurting out quickly. He groaned, intent on not giving up on his life. Megan knew this and drew back again for another hard stab. Aaron Johnston knew that the second stab would be . . .

Mike Cruz was very generous with his time and he gave me an education. I learned about food insecurity. I learned about a very high percentage the children not being raised by their parents have the highest probability for suffering food insecurity. I learned that some children don't get regular Lee said on the weekends. Mike taught me examples about how lack of food leads to bad behavior which makes the job educating children extremely difficult. Mike told me about a program at one of his schools. I must admit I went into this meeting with Mike Cruz with a very strong misconception. I had read a USA Today article and some other articles that talked about past due school lunches and how children were stigmatized by getting peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead of the regularly scheduled lunch menu. I thought that was a big problem. After talking to Mike Cruz I learned the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a blessing to Hungry kids not a negative stigma. https://www.pinalcentral.com/casa_grande_dispatch/area_news/peanut-butter-and-jelly-drive-aims-to-keeps-kids-from/article_80dc89bf-99bb-55ca-baaf-2d5f5b6b26ef.htmlBefore I talked to Mike I wanted to raise money to pay off the pass do school lunches and after talking to Mike I want to raise money for the backpack program discussed below The children approved for this program receive a knapsack filled with food that they bring home on Friday evening so they're not hungry on Saturday and Sunday. I'd like to encourage you to make a donation Tu Casa Grande elementary school district or your local school dress District. We can also help by making a tax deductible gift $200 for single people $400 for married couples and you'll receive a credit back for that money on your taxes. You can specify how that money gets spent for example if you want that money to get spent for extracurricular activities or Athletics or nutritional needs.

Israel Story

In May 1960, the Mossad captured Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires, and brought him to stand trial in Jerusalem. It's one of Israel's most glorified chapters, right up there with Entebbe, the bombing of the Iraqi Nuclear Reactor and Operation Solomon. So why did the doctor who sedated the Nazi mastermind minimize his role in the saga? And what can that tell us about the legacy of World War II, eighty years after its start? Last month, the world marked the eightieth anniversary of Hitler's invasion of Poland and the start of WWII. In Israel, too, this was a big milestone: Kids discussed it at school, academics held conferences at the various universities, newspapers ran articles and editorials. But this wasn't, of course, always the case in Israel. For years, the war - and the Holocaust - were taboo topics. European Jews, many Israelis felt, had gone to the camps like sheep to the slaughter, without resisting, without putting up much of a fight. That perception began to change, almost overnight, as a result of one major event - the capture and trial of Adolf Eichmann. This episode is a collaboration with "Rough Translation," an NPR podcast that tells stories from around the world that offer new perspectives on familiar conversations. Gregory Warner and Daniel Estrin bring us the complicated story of Dr. Yonah Elian, the anesthesiologist who sedated one of the world's most notorious Nazis. Marianne McCune edited the piece, and scored it together with Mike Cruz. Joel Shupack arranged the rest of the episode with music from Blue Dot Sessions. It was produced by Jess Jiang, Neal Carruth, Will Dobson, Anya Grundman, Sarah Knight, Andy Huether, John Ellis, Matt Orton, Autumn Barnes, Zev Levi, Yoshi Fields, Niva Ashkenazi, James Feder and Yochai Maital. Sela Waisblum mixed the episode. The end song, "Perurim Shel Or" ("Sparks of Light") is the first single from the new album of Israel Story's band leader, Dotan Moshonov.

Originally, I thought I wouldn't have enough to fill out this second set but boy was I wrong. In fact, I had way too much. After listening to this at least once, I went back and cut out a lot of fat that didn't need to be included. Regardless, this is still one helluva monster mix! We've got brand-spanking new music from one of our favorite leading ladies Deborah Cox (Let the World Be Ours Tonight), P!nk (What About Us), two from Kesha (Praying & [Motherf!cking] Woman), Rita Ora (Your Song) and Erasure (Just a Little Love). We even take a dip back to the 90's with the never before mixed alt-rock classic by Smash Mouth (Walking on the Sun), which must have been commissioned because there is a slew of remixes for this song, including the amazing Dave Aude remix featured in Beach Party 2017 v2 posted yesterday. Joe Gauthreaux and DJ Grind team up with Inaya Day for a hands in the air uplifting remake of the 70's adult-contemporary classic Love Is in the Air; a song that's been reworked many times before. Mike Cruz delivers the goods on DJ Khaled & Rihanna's Wild Thoughts with its tribal samba beats and Santanaesque guitar riff intact. Offer Nissim remixes the new fabulous Lara Fabian track Growing Wings, while Toy Armada and DJ Grind bring us another uplifting hands in the air anthem with a remake of the Ben E. King classic Stand By Me. In short, this set is packed with delights from start to finish. I'm supposed to be starting on my pre-courses for Coding Bootcamp but after looking at the syllabus, I think I may be able to knock out one more Diva Series that I've had in the works for a long time. This way, I can totally clear my plate and then just focus on the road ahead. No guarantees, so we'll see. That's all I got but there's more than enough between this and yesterday's post to keep you folks bumpin', pumpin' and grindin' well into September. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Building A Team Culture That Drives Success, with Mike Cruz, Episode #4

The Critical Shift: Get Clarity, Find Success, Make an Impact

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 10, 2017 33:22

It's becoming more and more obvious that the businesses that succeed these days are the ones that are able to assemble a great team and build a team culture that drives success. Mike Cruz had the opportunity to serve as part of the leadership team of Trunk Club as it was going through the iterations that have made it such a successful company. In this conversation, he talks about his personal journey and how it led him to the place where the well-being of the people on the team and the chemistry within the company were what gave him the greatest sense of fulfillment. It's a great case-study in building team culture and you'll learn a ton by listening. Building a team culture starts with knowing who you are, as a leader and as a company. One of the things that becomes evident as you listen to Mike Cruz' story is that the more clearly he knew his personal identity as he worked his way through his own career journey, the more clearly he was able to discern what a healthy team and company culture would look like under his leadership. He says that in his case, his personal identity as a leader and the company/team identity go hand in hand. Mike shares many lessons-learned in this conversation with Tom, so be sure you make some time to listen. The path of every startup is filled with false starts and pivots. It's the nature of the beast. As Trunk Club was experiencing the growing pains inherent with being a startup there were many false starts and pivots, in mission and in production and fulfillment. It has to be that way because few startups begin with a clear sense of company identity and mission. Those are things that evolve over time as the team assembles, personalities and skills mesh, and purpose becomes more clear. Mike Cruz says the Trunk Club team took on 3 to 4 iterations in the process because of the changes involved in discovering what the team culture had to be in order for success to happen. He says it's part of the process you can't really avoid. When you build a team culture, there's a point where you stop talking about it and start living it. When the team at Trunk Club had gone through several iterations and the new group of team players were finally seeming like the right fit, Mike Cruz had already spent a lot of personal time working through the essentials of the team culture. He'd talked about it with team members a lot. But he says there came a time when he had to stop talking about it and start living it. That's when everything changed. Find out how the Trunk Club team made that transition and the amazing results that took place because of it, on this episode of The Critical Shift. For better or worse, every team is a reflection of those who assemble it. It's almost impossible to think of Microsoft without Bill Gates coming to mind. The same is true for Apple and its co-founder, Steve Jobs. The reason for that is a point Mike Cruz makes in this conversation - for better or worse, every team or business is a reflection of those who create it. It's infused with the personality, perspective, and values of the leader. It can't be helped - so it should be celebrated and championed because it's the natural progression toward success that the team is on. Find out more about the process of building a team culture that fuels success, on this episode. Outline of This Episode [1:50] Growing up in Guam, college in the U.S. and starting a career outside his passions. [9:28] Learning that his skillset was around helping motivate and inspire engineers. [12:01] Where Mike learned his bent toward self-reflection and improvement. [18:21] Cleaning the slate to start all over at Trunk Club.

Miss Inaya Day | The Diva Series

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 12, 2017

We are now at the most important part of this morning's post, which is the long overdue induction into the Diva Hall of Fame of the one and only Miss Inaya Day. I was browsing around the Billboard club charts a month or so ago and stumbled across a section I had NEVER seen before called GREATEST OF ALL TIME TOP DANCE CLUB ARTISTS. I'll be damned if every DIVA in the Diva Series isn't listed there. I mean, I hit them ALL + all the fan-boy favorites (US Only) who only had a couple of hits (Jennifer Holliday, Jewel and Stevie Nicks come to mind). However, there was one lady sitting in at #12 who was always on my list but I just hadn't gotten around to. She is the one and only, incomparable Miss Inaya Day. Holy bat crap! How did I not get to this sooner? Heck, she even bests Miss Barbara Tucker by 51 charts points and y'all know I love me some BT. Since I've been driving around all over god's green acres, I've had plenty of time to play this set over and over and OVER! Heck, if it were a cassette, I'd have to go out and purchase a new one by now. This set will BLOW your mind because it's that good. Inaya Day has also worked with some of the biggest names in the industry and isn't just circuit; she's House Music, she's Gospel, she's R&B and she is Soul. However, this set is geared towards the circuit boys and for good reason. It's all about our love and appreciation for you, your beauty and your talent. Our boy Peter Rauhofer is also represented here not once but twice. Throw in her sparring partner Miss China Ro, Mike Cruz and the good ole boys from Swishcraft and you got yourself a recipe for one hell of party. If we can get the boys at Swishcraft to promote this set; her bookings will go through the roof. She can call it I Take My Problems to the Dancefloor Tour (bill it as a greatest hits tour) and hopefully work out something amicable with Nervous Records. The t-shirts alone would be HOT property. So without further ado, Party Favorz is proud to finally pay respect to the indisputable queen of everything by inducting Miss Day into the Diva Hall of Fame. Ladies and Gentlemen, please give a standing ovation for the one and only, Miss Inaya Day.

It's time to kick things into gear with the first EDM post of 2015. Party Favorz is back in the driver's seat and gearing up for what's bound to be an exciting year in dance music. The 2K15 Winter EDM Sessions starts off with the electro-power-pop hit "World" by Gia currently riding up the club charts. This is shaping up to be Gia's first number one on the charts likely propelled by a bucketload of remixes by Dave Aude, Funk Generation, Lenny B, StoneBridge, Eric Morillo, Mike Cruz, DJ Ranny, Dirty Pop and several more. This quickly leads to newcomer JimiJames "Drop Dat Bitch." The Dirty Pop remix hits hard on this WOW Jones produced track. Look for it to be lighting up floors at 1 am around the globe. We keep up the peak hour with Gwen Stefani's latest "Spark the Fire" and then begin descending into some AWESOME house, which bounces back and forth between current electro-p0p faves. Special attention should be given to two Terri B tracks. First is the current number one club hit in the country "Big Fun." This D.O.N.S. produced track was originally released in 2007 on Hed Kandi records but has been re-packaged with new mixes. Big Fun is a remake of the Inner City classic from 1989 and holds a very special place in my heart landing in my Top 10 all-time house favorites. It takes some big shoes to fill the space with a remake, but Terri delivers the goods. The second track featuring Terri's vocals and currently moving up the club charts (possible second #1 in a year?) is the Cazzette produced "Blind Heart." The original is a heavenly slice of deep house tracking a new direction for the Swedish duo. Terri's vocals add a soulfulness, which sets it way apart from the standard white-girl-with-a-thin-vocal-range currently berating the EDM scene. 2015 is shaping up to be a BIG year for this veteran chanteuse. 3LAU & Nom De Strip with Estelle doing vocal duties drop a remake of the 1995 Eurodance classic "Rhythm of the Night," simply titled "The Night." Over the years, there have been a plethora of remixes and covers of this song but these folks hit it out of the park! Finally, the UK's Ella Henderson single "Yours" closes out the set. She hasn't completely taken off in the states yet, but "Ghost" (original or remixed) was an excellent debut and Yours further solidifies her potential for mass stardom. Instead of attempting a big room electrifier, the Wideboys fallback on a more familiar housed-up remix and deliver some soothing ear-candy, while allowing Ella's vocals to shine. That's about all I got for your weekend. Hoping everyone's year has gotten off to a good start. Have a great weekend and as always ...ENJOY!

Welcome to the annual 2K14 Fall Edition! I'm talking about bodies movin, non-stop groovin, asses shakin, floors are breakin, queens are freakin, ho's are creepin, divas flowing and did I mention HOT COWBOYS? LOL You'll notice a familiar trend throughout this set as there is one common denominator holding this shit together …Mr. Barry Harris or Mr. Harris one half of the AWESOME Thunderpuss team, but only if you're nasty. Lately, gurrrlfriend has been on FIRE! Just make sure to keep him out of the ice-bucket challenge; we don't wanna cool down his streak. Barry takes on the Zedd produced track “Break Free” by Ariana Grande and pumps in some classic Thunderpuss beats while keeping it fresh with an updated sound for today's floors. Watch out for the amazing piano breakdown; you'll think he mashed it up with some early Mariah but it's pure Ariana. Equally, he attacked the classic “Stranger in My House” by Tamia and updated the original Thunderpuss mix from back in the day with fresh new beats and another delicious piano breakdown 2/3 of the way in. Barry also pumps up the deep house hit “Hideaway” by Canadian newcomer Keisza. Using Antoine Clamaran's classic “Dr. Drum” as inspiration, he pulls us in slowly until all hell breaks loose towards the end. Listening to the original, I would have never thought to match the two songs up but shit if it doesn't work! Joe Gauthreaux is currently riding high with his tweaky “Bye Felicia.” The whole package comes with a bucket full of stealthy remixes for the floor, but the one that caught my attention the most was by Wayne G. Listen close folks, there's a solid mashup with Kim English's “Unspeakable Joy” or even Madonna's “Beautiful Stranger” in there just begging to happen. I'm just sayin. As I write this, Party Favorz girlfriend Erika Jayne is sitting on top the Billboard Club Play charts with her latest “PAINKILLR.” While it took me a while to get into this song, after a few spins I've been all over it. Mike Cruz channels his inner Danny Verde and spins the song into a dark, tribal progressive monster that just sucks you in and squeezes tight. As usual, I like to try to close these sets out on a sunny note. While I realize I've been beating this dead horse since early Summer, I was waiting for the final mixes to drop for this 80s classic. Specifically, I was waiting for 7th Heaven's version, which did not disappoint. Kon Kan (an early project of …you guessed it, Barry Harris) had a major hit with “I Beg Your Pardon.” The song hooks itself around a big synthesized loop, which 7H stayed true to while sampling the early 70s country classic “Rose Garden” by Lynn Anderson. The only thing these guys left out was the GQ “rock-freak” drop in the middle of the song; likely for licensing reasons. No problem, your humble host put it back in for ya making this a truly remarkable update for those who fondly remember the original. And, if you don't, get into it. This is going to be it for September so I can start working on the new premium content version of this site. I've already hit a few stumbling blocks, but I'm fairly certain I'll figure it out. I'm also about to start taking some coding courses to get myself up to speed in CSS and Java. Who knows, maybe I'll make an app ya'll buy one day and retire off of that LOL. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. I should be back around the beginning of October. Until then …ENJOY!

PLAYPOD 12.01 DJ Steve Sherwood (SFO) T-Dance Ministry ----- DJ Steve Sherwood Website: http://www.djstevesherwood.com/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/djstevesherwood SoundCloud: http://djstevensherwood.podomatic.com/ DJ Steve Sherwood first began listening to electronic music in the late 90's when his younger sister unknowingly left a cassette tape with a live set by Carl Cox on the floor of his car. He quickly fell for the harder side of dance music and became a regular at underground raves held in the Arizona desert. In the summer of 2000, he moved to San Francisco and was transformed by the diverse local dance scene, which includes parties like Universe, Pleasuredome, Mass, Fag Fridays, and Trannyshack. After a year of immersing himself in San Francisco's vibrant nightlife Steve bought a pair of Technics turntables off of Craigslist and began crafting his own unique sound that incorporates elements of vocal, disco, tribal, and progressive house with occasional forays into techno and trance. A decade later he finds himself bringing his signature sound to a diverse set of parties around the globe. Recent appearances include REAL BAD XXIII, Tonker London, Industry, Disco Cherry, PLAY T-Dance, Los Angeles Pride, REACH Pride T-Dance, and Gus Presents. Sherwood is also a resident DJ with Bearracuda in San Francisco and has travelled with the party to Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Austin. ----- Track Listings: 01.

Okay, you want games? We got games. With Jeremy and Frank out at PAX East, we wrangle Justin Haywald and Mike Cruz into the studio to talk about nothing but games (and nonsense). No news items or voicemail questions this time -- we talk about: Dead Island, El Shaddai, Uncharted 3, Mortal Kombat, Shoot Many Robots, Shadows of the Damned, Darkness 2, Alice: Madness Returns, Hawken, Trenched, and more (that was only half the list, listen for the rest!). We still get sidetracked along the way, but seriously, this time, it's about games, dammit.
