We have been wanting to do another episode with Jason Dupree ever since he started carrying North American OCR and hybrid live streams on his back! We may be a bit bias because we have been friends with Jason for many years now but we don't believe he gets half of the credit that he deserves for what he does for both sports.   We discuss how he started live streaming these sports, how much money we are making/losing from this pursuit, how you can help support the live stream, his rebranded OCR Tech Talk, getting ahead of burnout, a near death experience with a tree on the way back from covering Spartan Blue Mountain, and much more! Please reach out to Jason or Will to see how you can reach out and help support what they are doing with the video coverage, and also consider supporting their Patreon!

And in headlines today US President Donald Trump is deploying 800 National Guard troops to Washington DC, and putting the city's police department under federal control; Australia has been urged to go further than recognising a Palestinian state by following up with sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel; Prince Harry and Meghan have extended their partnership with Netflix with a multi-year, first-look deal including another series and Christmas special of With Love Meghan; Lifeblood are hoping a little bit of sibling rivalry will help increase their blood and plasma supplies, encouraging middle children to step out from the shadows of their over achieving older siblings and extroverted younger ones to roll up a sleeve THE END BITSSupport independent women's media Check out The Quicky Instagram here Listen to Morning Tea celebrity headlines here Want $10 + a free month of Mamamia?
