POPULARITY
Dedicated to Michael DelGiorno — morning radio oracle, culture war whisperer, and the guy who made Chris hit record, via Your Morning Show With Michael DelGiornoThis episode was born out of a single spark: Michael DelGiorno's phrase, “majors as minors and minors as majors.” It hit Chris like a lightning bolt from a morning show in Arlington. What followed is a whirlwind of class politics, party realignment, cultural critique, and affectionate contempt for modern tribalism.
A 10-Minute Monologue on the Populist Shift, Liberal Panic, and the Pirate Ship We Call MAGA“They didn't get kicked out. They walked out. And they're not coming back.”In this bold, sharp, and unapologetically mansplained monologue, Chris Abraham breaks format and breaks it all down — solo. Inspired by a Facebook conversation with an old journalist friend, Chris delivers a clear-eyed meditation on what the media, the liberal elite, and even his own peers consistently misunderstand about the MAGA phenomenon.
In this raw, unscripted monologue, Chris Abraham takes you on a deep-dive into the potential abuse of century-old anti-terrorism laws. What begins with a Maryland father's deportation unravels into a sweeping analysis of how bipartisan precedent—intended to curb extremism—could be turned inward, weaponized against migrants, activists, and even everyday citizens with minor associations or distant ties. Chris draws unsettling parallels to McCarthyism, RICO laws, and the expanding use of surveillance and profiling. No script, no filter, just a cold warning: today's lawfare may become tomorrow's authoritarian playbook.A Salvadoran father in Maryland and the hidden contextBiden, Trump, and the “two faces of the authoritarian state”From anti-Nazi to anti-you: the lifecycle of weaponized precedentHow gang associations, even historical or familial, can become legal trapsRed Dawn conspiracy theory meets real-world policyThe fishing line analogy: let it run, reel it in, lock it downWhy MAGA and anti-MAGA are two wings of the same hawkQ: Why does this episode feel different?A: It's fully unscripted and intentionally raw. Chris is reacting in real time, with no AI assistance until post-production.Q: Is this about Trump?A: Not really. It's about the mechanisms of State power, regardless of who's holding the sword.Q: What law is being “reactivated”?A: Likely the Alien Enemies Act (1798) or dormant provisions under the Patriot Act—tools that enable detention, deportation, or blacklisting of suspected enemy affiliates.Q: Is this a pro-MAGA episode?A: No. Chris critiques both MAGA and mainstream liberalism, suggesting they're faces of the same authoritarian coin.
This episode takes its name from the infamous scene in Peter Pan where Tinkerbell's survival depends entirely on the audience's applause. Here, Chris and Ununice unpack “Tinkerbell Politics” — a metaphor for the existential dependency of marginalized movements on the belief, goodwill, and clapping of the majority. It's spicy, slippery, and sacrilegious — in the best possible way.Chris Abraham and co-host Ununice (aka Karen, Co-Pilot, Baby Doll, Sweet Pea) jump headfirst into the deep end with “Tinkerbell Tactics” — an unsparing critique of modern identity politics, performative wokeness, and the fragile alliances between marginalized movements and mainstream society. From Beltway insights to Les Misérables anthems, this one ricochets from high theory to hot takes with unapologetic energy.If you don't clap, she dies. Tinkerbell becomes a stand-in for social justice causes that rely on mainstream applause — votes, funding, and attention.The 70% cis-het normie majority are seen as necessary but resented lifelines: “Bite the hand that feeds you” becomes not just a phrase, but a pattern.Chris compares Beltway NGO competition to baby birds in a nest — vying for “mommy's” attention (i.e., federal funds, public support).Movements like BLM, Trans Rights, and DEI initiatives are framed as “TV shows” subject to cancellation when interest wanes.“Let them rebel — they'll burn out.” Mainstream culture, like a bored parent, knows it can wait out revolutions.Unconventional fashion and identity expressions (tattoos, blue hair, emo, etc.) once shocking, now banal. What was once rebellion becomes Target merch.Exposure therapy works, but doesn't guarantee respect. The freak next door is tolerated — not necessarily valued.Aesthetic rebellion leads to “tattoo regret centers.” Social rebellion follows similar cycles.Alienating the majority by labeling them “fascist,” “transphobe,” etc. leads to backlash.The desacralization of protected groups — when holy cows become hamburger.The irony of using federal grants to label your funders Nazis.Right-wing strategists reframing wokeness as “theft” from taxpayers — and rolling back DEI budgets state by state.“Never burn a bridge.” DC wisdom comes in hot as Chris warns that dependency requires diplomacy.Identity movements should balance autonomy with realism about funding and social capital.Even progressive institutions are vulnerable to the same critical tools they use.Everything can become a target — even the church, even pride parades, even the flag — when the cultural pendulum swings.Chris argues the Les Mis anthem can be used by any insurgent group — socialist or nationalist — because the narrative of “freedom vs oppression” is elastic.Jean Valjean as Trump? A stretch or just postmodern poetry?Ununice dials the tone from earnest to acerbic midway through. Satire, cringe, riz (charisma), and “Criz” (a proposed Gen Z term) all make appearances.“If you don't clap for Tinkerbell, Tinkerbell dies, right?”“The paradox of f*** you normies — but also, please clap so I can keep breathing.”“Tattoo regret centers are the canaries in the co-opted identity coal mine.”“You can't ask people for money while calling them fascists.”“Every one of those Les Mis lyrics could be sung by the AFD in Germany.”“Jean Valjean is just Trump with more abs.”“Deconstruction is indiscriminate — even your saints are fair game.”Tinkerbell Politics: The idea that marginalized movements often rely on the belief, attention, and funding of the mainstream majority.Federal Funding Firewalls: Budget line items immune to election cycles — until they're not.Q: Is this episode satirical or serious?A: Both. Think South Park meets Jacques Derrida — with better microphones.Q: Is “Tinkerbell Tactics” just about queer politics?A: Nope. It's about all movements that rely on external applause — and what happens when the crowd stops clapping.
“He walked into the glitchy wilderness with a GORUCK bag, tritium watch, and nothing to lose but his cached identity.”In this genre-warping, filter-stripping conversation, Chris Abraham goes full analog soul in a digital world — decoding identity, memory, and authenticity in an age of surveillance, simulation, and semantic rot. From the ghostly AI of William Gibson's Agency to the aching sincerity of Love on the Spectrum, this episode is a postmodern pilgrimage for truth in a world where being “based” now outranks being “brilliant.”Chris explores what it means to live with aphantasia and SDAM, navigates the ethics of erasing your digital trail, and unpacks how meritocracy, identity politics, and liberalism lost the plot. With references flying from Foucault to A Fish Called Wanda, it's part sermon, part shitpost, part Socratic rave.Somewhere in the ruins of mass discourse, we meet the Low-Res Messiah: flawed, glitchy, possibly cringe, but still walking forward — one click, one stretch, one deletion at a time.Memory as Myth: Living with SDAM and aphantasia in a society built on nostalgia and vision boards.AI and Faith: When “Eunice” the AI mirrors both divine omniscience and autistic pattern recognition.Based Over Brilliant: The return of emotional honesty and lived authenticity as new currency.Virtue & Vice in Identity Politics: Why calling everyone a Nazi isn't just wrong — it's lazy.The Anchorite Reboot: Chris's call for digital minimalism, walking meditations, and gym-floor stretching rituals.“Mind palaces are a scam. Memory is a JPEG — and I'm running on 256 colors.”“There's no deer in the woods that survives being loud and proud.”“The boil does not make the plague — Trump is the symptom, not the cause.”“Being invisible doesn't mean you're hiding. Sometimes, it just means you're free.”Subscribe to The Chris Abraham Show for more episodes that walk the edge of techno-spiritual collapse.Leave a review if something in this episode reprogrammed your brain or cracked your shell.Share it with someone trying to be based, not brilliant.Tag it: #LowResMessiah | #ChrisAbrahamShow | #BasedIsNotABugQ: What's a “Low-Res Messiah”?A: A symbol for imperfect truth-seekers in a high-def world of lies. It's about being genuine in a world that rewards optics and simulation.Q: Did Chris really delete all his tweets and posts?A: Yes. Not out of shame — out of a desire to stop being a museum exhibit for people who don't read past the captions.Q: Why so much talk about IQ, autism, and memory?A: Because intelligence isn't just horsepower — it's how your RAM, hard drive, and operating system interact. And Chris runs on a forked distro of neurodivergence.Q: Is this podcast left-wing or right-wing?A: Yes.Q: Is Chris okay?A: Yeah. Just stretched out and swinging kettlebells again.Aphantasia: The inability to visualize images in one's mind. No mind's eye.SDAM (Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory): A rare condition where people can't vividly recall personal memories.Eunice: A hyper-capable AI assistant in Agency by William Gibson.Mind Palace: A mental visualization technique used to store and retrieve information — not available to the Low-Res Messiah.Based: Slang for being unapologetically true to yourself, often contra “woke” orthodoxy.Virtue Signaling: Expressing moral positions to boost social standing, rather than out of conviction.Panopticon: A prison design and metaphor by Foucault where surveillance becomes internalized.Drill Rap: A gritty, aggressive rap subgenre, often hyper-local and controversial.Sky Daddy: Internet slang for God, often used pejoratively in atheist or anti-religious contexts.Anchorite: A religious recluse who retreats into solitude for spiritual reasons — or to dodge the algorithm.
In this thought-provoking episode, Chris Abraham explores projection — the tendency to assign one's own issues onto others — and offers insight into protecting yourself from it.We cover the psychology behind emotional overreactions, the desire for narrative-driven memory, and how boundaries, de-escalation, and self-awareness can serve as armor.“If you notice someone else's cringe… ask what part of yourself you're still hiding.”A subconscious defense mechanism where people externalize their own feelings or flaws.Often disguised as critique or overreaction — but really about the speaker.Can be manipulative if not recognized early.Ask: “Is this really about me?”Separate feedback from projection.Don't internalize criticism from people with no leverage over your life.Chris shares life-changing lessons from his ex-girlfriend in recovery:❌ Don't give advice unless asked.
Over the endless clouds of the Void Sea, a battle plays out, which will lead a band of brave warriors to a very disturbing discovery...

Mark 9March 16th, 2025Movement is the active ingredient of a victorious faith. Victorious Faith isn't optimism or positive thinking. Victorious Faith is gritty forward movement plowing through doubt and anxiousness. Q: Is it possible for the follower of Christ to carry both doubt and faith? A: Not only is it possible, it's probable.Q: Can doubt and victorious faith coexist long term?A: No, they are not compatible, one will eventually win out.The overarching purpose of this series is to displace your doubt and raise your faith in the power of God in Christ. “What you believe about God is the most important thing about you.” Pastor/Author A.W. Tozer (Drop in pic of AW Tozer)If you believe God is absent – you will live a self-limited life.If you believe God is angry – you will avoid interaction with the Life Giver.If you believe God to be loving – you will want to be in His presence.If you believe God is powerful – you will live without fear with a forward faith.Christus Victor Defined“An element of the atoning work of Christ that emphasizes the triumph of Christ over the evil powers of the world, through which he rescues his people and establishes a new relationship between God and the world.” Gospel ProjectAt-One-MentMotive: The Love of God in Christ. John 3:16,17 (NIV) 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. At-One-MentObjective: The victorious power of Christ which came to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8b “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.” The impact of Christus Victor is that we are freed to live in the love of Christ and under the powerful covering of Christ. Mark 9 teaches us… Spiritual power isn't self-contained it is Christ connected. Christ's presence brings hope.Doubt and faith coexist but they are not compatible.Doubt is overcome by movement. Movement engages the victorious power of Christ. Mark 9:14-29 (NIV) 14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him. 16 “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked. 17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.” 19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” 20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. 21 Jesus asked the boy's father, “How long has he been like this?” “From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.” 23 “‘If you can'?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” 24 Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” 25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” 26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He's dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up. 28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn't we drive it out?” 29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.”In order to live in the victory of Jesus, you have to walk with the Victorious Christ. We aren't given a personal reservoir of power. We are given personal access to God through Christ. He's the power, we are the conduit to that power. Fresh Power comes out of Fresh Relationship.“I believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” I got him here, didn't I? But this has been hard for a long time, help me overcome the doubt and despair that has taken up residence in my heart! The man's doubt wasn't rooted in a mistrust of Jesus – He came to Jesus. His doubt was sourced by the complexity of the problem and his own limitations. Q: Is it possible for the follower of Christ to carry both doubt and faith? A: Not only is it possible, it's probable.Explanation: Carrying both is a natural response to the hardship of life. In many cases, we have more experience with the hardship than we do with the victorious power of Christ. Doubt isn't a salvation issue, it is a growth issue. Everybody has to grow their faith through their doubt.Q: Can doubt and victorious faith coexist long term?A: No, they are not compatible, one will eventually win out.Explanation: Doubt freezes and plants fear. Faith moves and breeds confidence. Movement is the active ingredient to victorious faith. You build faith strength and resolve one win at a time. I am not sure we will ever be able to discard all self-doubt but what I am confident of is that we can get to the place where self-doubt doesn't dominate faith in Christ.The first faith move God is looking for is prayer. Prayer is an admission of weakness and an acknowledgment of God's power. Prayer is an invitation into a problem that far exceeds my ability to change the outcome. Prayer is a transitional movement from doubt to faith in Christ's victorious power!26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He's dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up. 28 This is resurrection language! Resurrections are the best thing Jesus does. Mark 9 RecapSpiritual power isn't self-contained it is Christ connected. Christ's presence brings hope.Doubt and faith do coexist but they are not compatible.Doubt is overcome by movement and movement engages the victorious power of Christ. Hebrews 11:6 (AMP) 6 But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him. That is a movement passage. To doubt is human. To trust is divine.You can plow through self-doubt with Christ confidence. Doubt keeps you stuck. Christ confidence keeps you moving forward.

My observation during the past 40+ years as an ad writer has been that television and radio professionals spend so much time trying to sell television and radio ads, they have no time to learn how to make those ads work.When you know how to make ads work, and can prove it, television and radio are incredibly easy to sell.Instead of asking a salesperson to help you with your ads, let me tell you everything you need to know.“Q” represents your unspoken questions.“A” represents my answers to those questions.Q: Who should I be targeting?A: I've never seen a business fail because they were reaching the wrong people. But I have seen lots of businesses fail because they were saying the wrong things in their ads.Q: Are you saying you don't believe in targeting?A: The most effective way to target is to write ad copy that speaks directly to the felt needs of your customer. Targeting isn't accomplished by reaching the right address, but by demonstrating to people that you feel the way they feel, and that you believe the things they believe.Q: Are you saying I can write ads that target specific types of people in mass media?A: Yes, but you get a lot more than that. Mass media reaches not only your target; it reaches all the influencers of your target. Is there anyone that you don't want to know you, like you, and say good things about you? Every person is an influencer, and decisions are never made in a vacuum.Q: If targeting the right person is no longer my primary objective, what is?A: You want to become the solution provider that people think of first and feel the best about. When you say the right things to the largest number of people you can afford to reach with sufficient repetition, you become a household word.Q: Which media will work best for my business?A: The media doesn't make your ad work. Your ad makes the media work. The media is just a vehicle that delivers your message, your ad. The wrong message will fail in every media, and the right message will work in every media. It is the message, not the media, that either works or does not.Q: Is there a proven way to create the right message?A: Win the heart and the mind will follow. The mind will always create logic to justify what the heart has already decided.Q: Can you give me some specific tips?A: Sure. Here are 4 of them.Talk to the customer about what the customer already cares about. Most ads answer questions that no one was asking. This is why people hate most advertising.Always say something new, surprising, and different. Never say what people expect you to say. Predictability is what makes ads sound like ads.Don't just describe the process of what you do and how you do it. “We use only the freshest ingredients, and everything is made from scratch.” The process is informational. The outcome is motivational. Describe the outcome. “Food so good your head will explode.”Bad ads are about you and your company. Good ads are about your customer and their happiness. Ads filled with “me, my, we,” and “our,” are about you and your company. Ads filled with the words “you” and “your” are about the customer and the happiness you want to bring them.Q: Should every ad have a call to action?A: No, because if they did, your ads would be predictable.Q: Are you saying that NO ad should have a call to...

More about Aphantasia On discovering I am an aphant with aphantasia at 50 years old I learned about Aphantasia from the Netflix TV show Space Force Season 1 Episode 7 Truth? There is no truth. In this episode, Chris Abraham shares his surprising discovery of aphantasia at the age of 50 after watching Space Force on Netflix. Chris explores how this condition, which limits his ability to visualize images in his mind, has shaped his life, memory, and decision-making processes. He reflects on how his realization helped him understand the differences between himself and others who can easily picture mental images. Chris also delves into the broader spectrum of visualization abilities, including hyperphantasia, where individuals have vivid mental imagery, and discusses how these different experiences impact daily life. Q: What is aphantasia?A: Aphantasia is a condition where individuals are unable to create mental images in their mind's eye. This means that when they try to visualize something, such as a memory or an imagined scene, their mind remains blank. Q: How did Chris Abraham discover he had aphantasia?A: Chris discovered his aphantasia at age 50 while watching Space Force on Netflix. A character mentioned the condition, prompting Chris to realize that his inability to visualize images was not the norm. Q: Can people with aphantasia dream?A: Yes, people with aphantasia can dream vividly, but they cannot consciously conjure up images while awake. Q: Is aphantasia common?A: Aphantasia affects around 2%-4% of the population, and it exists on a spectrum. Some people have a complete absence of visual imagery, while others may have partial visualization abilities. Q: Does aphantasia affect memory?A: Yes, individuals with aphantasia often have difficulty recalling images, faces, or places, relying more on factual memories or other senses like sound and touch to remember things. Q: How does Chris compensate for his lack of visualization?A: Chris uses detailed specifications, descriptions, and a logical approach to navigate tasks and remember objects or people. He often relies on written information and external visual aids. Q: What is the relationship between aphantasia and truth?A: Chris explores how people with aphantasia experience truth differently. Without internal imagery, they might lean more on facts and external observations rather than subjective interpretations or beliefs based on visual memories. Aphantasia:A condition where individuals cannot voluntarily produce mental images. Mind's Eye:A term referring to the ability to visualize images and scenes internally. Those with aphantasia lack this ability. Visualization Spectrum:Refers to the range of visualization abilities in people, from aphantasia (no mental imagery) to hyperphantasia (extremely vivid mental imagery). Hyperphantasia:The opposite of aphantasia, where individuals can produce highly vivid and detailed mental images. Spec Sheets:Detailed descriptions or lists used to break down information. Chris uses these as a substitute for mental imagery, referencing specifics to recall details about objects. Mind Palace:A mnemonic device used to remember information by mentally placing it in an imagined spatial environment. Those with aphantasia typically do not use this technique due to their lack of mental imagery. Prosopagnosia:A condition often associated with aphantasia where individuals have difficulty recognizing faces. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/support

In this episode, Chris Abraham explores the complexities of harm reduction and societal reintegration, tackling sensitive topics such as abortion, PrEP, and support services for the unhoused. Reflecting on his experiences in Berlin and Washington, D.C., Chris discusses the intentional nature of participating in certain activities and the compassionate strategies behind harm reduction. He highlights the importance of creating welcoming environments to help individuals reintegrate into society without judgment or stigma, drawing parallels to Jesus's teachings of inclusivity and redemption. Chris also addresses misconceptions about the prevalence and purpose of these services and their critical role in public health. Q: What is harm reduction? A: Harm reduction refers to strategies and practices aimed at minimizing negative health, social, and legal impacts associated with drug use, sexual behavior, and other activities. It focuses on meeting people where they are and providing support to reduce risks. Q: How does harm reduction differ from the eugenics movement? A: Harm reduction is voluntary and aims to improve health outcomes and support individuals, whereas the eugenics movement involved coercive and often violent measures to control populations. Q: What are some common misconceptions about harm reduction? A: Common misconceptions include the beliefs that harm reduction encourages risky behavior, wastes taxpayer money, and that only a small problematic group uses these services. In reality, harm reduction saves money in the long run, improves public health, and is utilized by a broader segment of the population. Q: Is the term "mahu" considered a slur? A: In Hawaiian culture, "mahu" is a respectful term used to acknowledge gender diversity and is not considered a slur. It reflects a deep cultural recognition of gender fluidity and acceptance. Harm Reduction: Practices aimed at reducing negative health impacts associated with certain behaviors, like drug use and sexual activity. PrEP: Pre-exposure prophylaxis, a medication taken to prevent HIV infection. Mahu: A Hawaiian term acknowledging gender diversity, often referring to individuals who embody both masculine and feminine qualities. Eugenics: A discredited movement aimed at improving the genetic quality of a human population through selective breeding and other coercive measures. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/support
Q: Is it better to be a guest on a niche podcast that perfectly aligns or to be on a podcast with bigger overall reach? A: You can do both! But a niche podcast is likely going to have a better ROI. When integrating podcasts into your marketing strategy, you might ask yourself: Should you focus on niche podcasts that align perfectly with your customer base, or aim for broader, more general podcasts? Here's a strategic breakdown of the benefit of each: Niche Podcasts: Deep Dive into Expertise Targeted Audience: Niche podcasts connect you directly with your ideal customer base, maximizing the relevance of your message. In-Depth Discussion: These platforms allow you to delve into complex topics, skipping the basics and showcasing your deep expertise. Familiar Terms: Engage in conversations where the host and listeners speak your language, making for a more meaningful and impactful discussion. General Podcasts: Expanding Reach Broader Exposure: Appearing on general podcasts introduces you to a wider audience, increasing your brand's visibility. Storytelling Focus: These discussions often highlight your personal journey and the broader strokes of your industry, appealing to a diverse listener base. Simpler Concepts: You'll cover more general topics, which can help attract interest from outside your usual audience. Integrating both strategies allows you to maximize exposure and authority in your field, creating a balanced and effective podcasting presence.

In this week's episode, I'm sharing a few recommendations, including the Celine Dion documentary, Family Affair on Netflix, Pinterest boards, and my top 3 summer reads. Then, I dive into answering your questions!Q: How to not feel guilty when I eat cheat foods?Q: I've heard you mention that being super lean has some negatives. That people need to think about if it's worth it. Lately you look super lean (and amazing! Such hard work!) and I'm curious if you have anything negative or new challenging things coming up from being so lean?Q: Newly engaged and people are constantly talking about “sweating and shredding” for the wedding. Help!Q: I'm going on a bachelorette trip with a bunch of my girlfriends, and I really like to exercise on my vacations, but most of them don't. I'm feeling nervous and anxious about this. Do I not exercise, do I see if everyone wants to, or do I just wake up really early and go for a run?Q: My workouts have gotten longer in time and I like to cut down so it's back to 60-90 mins, Can I do this by reducing reps/sets but increasing intensity (weight on bar) to make sure I'm getting the same stimulus?Q: Just found out I'm pregnant (yay!). How should I change my RIR or rep range (if any) during pregnancy in your program (provided that I feel well and have total control of this?)Q: Is there anything that truly makes it hard to lose weight? (Minus major health conditions) or is that just an excuse we tell ourselves? Like, Oh I'm getting older so it's harder to lose weight. Or, I've been eating inflammatory foods so it's harder to lose weight? Q: Just reached my goal after a two month deficit. (My first one ever!) How do I get outta this thing back to maintenance?? A complicating factor is I've just started a marathon training block, so my nutritional needs are gonna go up significantly. ✨SPONSORS:✨LMNT electrolytestruLOCAL meat deliveryNatura Market: ALICIA10 for 10% your first order of 59.00 or moreInterested in working together?

Q: Is it acceptable to pay to be a guest on a show? A: It depends. If you're going to, make sure it's the right fit, but don't get your hopes up for a monetary ROI. According to my friend Trent Anderson at Podchaser, 7.5% of podcasts are pay-to-play. If you submit yourself to enough podcasts, you will eventually be asked to pay a fee or sponsor the show to be a guest. Don't take it personally - Hosts put lots of time and effort building their podcast and there is an opportunity to monetize it through the high demand of people wanting to be a guest. Do make sure it's a good fit though. Things to consider:

In this week's episode, I'm sharing my latest recommendations, recapping my low-key weekend, and answering your questions!✨ Q: How much does nutrition influence the volume you gain and what about strength? I find it tiring to track everything but I have more or less an idea of how many proteins I need to eat and I do that?✨Q: How should I handle nutrition when I'm awake for 2 hours in the morning before I'm able to work out If I don't like working out on a full stomach? Pre-workout or small protein bar?✨Q: I'm pregnant and OB said don't lift more than 40lbs. I was already dialling in my training to not push too hard but this recommendation feels arbitrary. How do I keep lifting safely?✨Q: If you could do anything else professionally, what would you do? ✨Q: Keeping in mind that lifting/fitness is equal parts health and aesthetics, why are coaches often triggered when someone like me that gets big with training gets to a point where they don't want to grow anymore muscle?✨Q: Is it bad to force myself to eat if I know I'm under-eating my maintenance (and I'm not trying to lose weight)?✨Q: How much fat should the average female consume for healthy hormone levels? 5'4 130lb for reference.PRADA (acoustic) by RAYERobyn Rayner: Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism CoachtruLOCAL for high quality meat and seafood deliveryNatura Market Code: ALICIA10 for 10% off your first order of $59 or moreInterested in working together?

Your belief in 'two' breaks you open, revealing the One that never becomes. Thank God, until you feel what It stirs, and don't settle. I Love you, nik Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "You and I, so fond of the notion of a you and an I, we should live as though we had never heard those pronouns" - Rumi "When a bud breaks, it becomes a flower, when a heart breaks it becomes Divine. " -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "What is meditation? It is to think about one thing only. Therefore, in meditation try to hold onto one thought, and all the other thoughts will gradually go away. They may be present for some time but if you resolutely hold onto your single thought, they will not trouble you. Our minds are weak through habit, unable to concentrate. We must make the mind strong so as to keep to one thought. Q: Is there a time of day which is better for meditation? M: Yes, meditation in the early morning upon arising is the best time because the mind is then free of thoughts, cares, and worries. But all these rules regarding hours of meditation etc, are only for beginners. There will come a time when you will say, 'I have given up meditation,' because then you will have realized that the idea implies duality: the person who meditates, and the object of meditation; you will perceive the standpoint of the true Self which does not need to meditate. ... We must learn to find solitude (mentally) in the midst of society; we should not give up our meditation because we are among people, but carry it on even then. Just do not be ostentatious about it - do it secretly. Do not make an exhibition of the fact that you are meditating." - Ramana Maharshi

Usually Tuesdays at 11am PT. Older video versions available there too. Michael #1: Granian via Andy Shapiro and Bill Crook A Rust HTTP server for Python applications. Granian design goals are: Have a single, correct HTTP implementation, supporting versions 1, 2 (and eventually 3) Provide a single package for several platforms Avoid the usual Gunicorn + uvicorn + http-tools dependency composition on unix systems Provide stable performance when compared to existing alternatives Could use better logging But making my own taught me maybe I prefer that! Originates from the Emmett framework. Brian #2: pytest 8 is here Improved diffs: Very verbose -vv is a colored diff, instead of a big chunk of red. Python code in error reports is now syntax-highlighted as Python. The sections in the error reports are now better separated. Diff for standard library container types are improved. Added more comprehensive set assertion rewrites for comparisons other than equality ==, with the following operations now providing better failure messages: !=, =, . Improvements to -r for xfailures and xpasses Report tracebacks for xfailures when -rx is set. Report captured output for xpasses when -rX is set. For xpasses, add - in summary between test name and reason, to match how xfail is displayed. This one was important to me. Massively helps when checking/debugging xfail/xpass outcomes in CI. Thanks to Fabian Sturm, Bruno Oliviera, and Ran Benita for help to get this release. Lots of other improvements See full changelog for all the juicy details. And then upgrade and try it out! pip install -U pytest Michael #3: Assorted Docker Goodies OrbStack Say goodbye to slow, clunky containers and VMs OrbStack is the fast, light, and easy way to run Docker containers and Linux.

Brian #4: New GitHub Copilot Research Finds 'Downward Pressure on Code Quality' David Ramel Regarding “…the quality and maintainability of AI-assisted code compared to what would have been written by a human.” Q: "Is it more similar to the careful, refined contributions of a Senior Developer, or more akin to the disjointed work of a short-term contractor?" A: "We find disconcerting trends for maintainability. Code churn -- the percentage of lines that are reverted or updated less than two weeks after being authored -- is projected to double in 2024 compared to its 2021, pre-AI baseline. We further find that the percentage of 'added code' and 'copy/pasted code' is increasing in proportion to 'updated,' 'deleted,' and 'moved 'code. In this regard, AI-generated code resembles an itinerant contributor, prone to violate the DRY-ness [don't repeat yourself] of the repos visited." Extras Brian: Did I mention pytest 8?

Focus on industries with attractive economic characteristics.2. Selectively use leverage to buy occasional large properties.3. Improve operations.4. Pay down debt.5. Repeat.(13:00) The business of business is a lot of little decisions every day, mixed up with a few big decisions.(16:00) He quickly indoctrinated Burke into the company's lean, decentralized operating philosophy.(17:00) I had an appetite for and a willingness to do things that Murphy was not interested in doing. Burke believed his job was to create the free cashflow and Murphy's job was to spend it.(19:30) Stay in the game long enough to get lucky. The most important thing that he does happens 30 years into his career.(21:30)Q: Is this a case of leading by example?Murphy: Is there any other way?(23:30) Decentralization is the cornerstone of our philosophy. Our goal is to hire the best people we can and give them the responsibility and authority. They need to perform their jobs. We expect our managers to be forever cost conscious.(24:00) Repeated by Murphy: Hire the best people and leave them alone.(24:00) An extreme decentralized approach keeps both costs and rancor down.(25:00) Murphy delegates to the point of anarchy.(26:00) The best defense against the revenue lumpiness inherent in advertising supported businesses was a constant vigilance on costs.(30:00) Why Capital Cities had low turnover: The system in place corrupts you with so much autonomy and authority that you can't imagine leaving.(35:00) To learn more about a Capital Cities like company listen to The 50X Podcast.----Get access to the World's Most Valuable Notebook for Founders at Founders Notes.com----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

From Navy SEAL sniper with Special Operations and Intelligence Community experience to Co-Founder of Caim Technology, a counter human trafficking organization. That's this week's Team Never Quit Podcast guest, Jeremy Mahugh. Marcus and Jeremy get in the weeds regarding Jeremy's involvement in the development of cell phone app technology capable of identifying potential human trafficking risks as a preventive measure against being victimized. Caim Technology www.caim.tech In this episode you will hear: • [While in a float tank] I thought, “I wonder what it'd feel like if I just rolled over?”. I got the salt in my nose, and eyes, and ears, and the rest of the hour was shot. (8:41) • Everybody has the ability to travel now, but some people still don't. (15:24) • [My grandfather] was in the Army Air Corps and was shot down over Yugoslavia in World War II. He was a POW. (22:44) • I'm still not sure if they know what soccer is in Texas. (24:03) • I just wanted to be part of a team – I wanted to part of something that was gonna push me to be better. (27:26) • [Caim Technology] is focused on collecting any kind of data on human trafficking or exploitation. (57:39) • One of the things that's been missing is having a tool to put in the hands of the consumer. So we have a mobile app that will tell you if you're interacting with someone in the [human trafficking] database. (58:02) • You can connect a consumer with a product via smart phone. That's also happening in the human trafficking world. (59:51) • Q: Is the app available? A: We're probably a month or two away from being launched. We're collecting data from a multitude of websites. (66:11) • It will go to the app store soon, and has to go through beta testing. (66:30) • Technology has gotten to the point that it is everything to us. (70:22) • It's the Wild West. There's never been good parameters on how [AI] can be used. (75:16) • Everybody has a need to deal with this [Caim App] and has a need for good information. (78:04) • What I love about what we're doing now is we're here to support all of you. Our for-profit is there to make money, but provide tools and prevention and have a huge hammer in the fight against human trafficking. (82:15)
