Mario Cannamela (vocals & guitars) joins us to talk about his Chicago-based band Bottom Bracket. Originally formed in Springfield, IL, the band released their first EP Dreamland in 2017. Near the end of 2021, Mario said "fuck it" and moved to Chicago. Along with Tim Recio (bass/vocals) and Rob Diaz (drums), the band released their fantastic second LP, I'm So Afraid Of Where on Count Your Lucky Stars Records in November of 2024. We talked with Mario about all of that, plus so much more - including his thoughts about our wonderful city of Chicago.

Anticipándonos a su concierto de este jueves, 6 de marzo, en León (Albéitar Universitario, 20:30 horas), charlamos con el músico cordobés Javier Estévez, sobre su actual proyecto musical, "Subtónica". Se trata del paso adelante dado hace ya más de una década por quien fuera batería de "Estirpe", asumiendo no sólo las tareas vocales, sino también el liderazgo indiscutible de una formación en la que, sin perder cierta esencia rockera, explora otros territorios musicales más amplios y versátiles, como el pop y la música electrónica.
La escritora catalana publica Los hechos de Key Biscayne, su segunda novela con Anagrama, donde explora una historia sobre la pérdida de la inocencia y la búsqueda de la libertad en el marco de una relación entre un padre y una hija
La investigadora Gema López habla del nuevo uso que se le da a los subtítulos en el audiovisual desde la llegada de las plataformas de streaming.
Lo que queda de Subtónica y Todas las flores de Belice. En el repaso a la historia del pop español recordamos, entre otros, a Los Marshalls (1965), Aviador Dro (1983), Ceremonia (1991), La Vieja Morla (2002), Buenas Noticias (2015) o The Seasongs (2023).

"SUBTÓNICA", es el proyecto musical de Javier Estévez, cantante, compositor y baterista. Viene a nuestro estudio para presentarnos "Lo que Queda", cuarto álbum de "SUBTÓNICA", en formato EP. Esta entrega viene a ser la segunda parte del EP publicado en 2023 "Creer para Ver" y juntando los dos tenemos una especie de LP, en dos entregas, unidas conceptualmente bajo el título "Creer para Ver lo que Queda". El disco se ha grabado entre Úbeda, Baeza y Córdoba y ha sido producido por Pachi García y también por Javier. Este nuevo trabajo contiene 5 canciones en las que se reflexiona sobre la vida, la muerte y lo fugaz de la existencia. Antes de "SUBTÓNICA", Javier formó parte durante 20 años de la banda cordobesa "ESTIRPE", ya desaparecida y es un gran investigador en temas musicales, no en vano coordina el Aula de Rock y Cultura Underground en la Universidad de Córdoba. Hablamos con él y disfrutamos con este nuevo disco." "El tema de la nutrición preocupa cada vez a más personas que quieren llevar una alimentación sana y equilibrada. Surgen dietas "milagro", super-alimentos y un montón de informaciones, poco claras, que acaban generando ideas erróneas sobre los alimentos y su efecto en nuestra salud. Miguel Herrero es Doctor en Ciencia y Tecnología de los Alimentos por la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid y también es investigador científico en el Instituto de Investigación de Ciencias de la Alimentación, del CSIC. Viene a nuestro programa con nuevo trabajo en forma de libro: "Los Bulos de la Nutrición" (Editorial Catarata-CSIC) en el que aborda cuestiones como los antioxidantes, el gluten, el aceite de oliva y los aditivos, entre otros y hablamos con él de cómo llevar una dieta sana, equilibrada y lo menos dañina posible para el medioambiente."Escuchar audio
This episode is brought to you by stubborn tenacity. SubT and Beat Kitchen are two of Chicago's favorite music rooms, and for good reason. Both are embedded in their respective neighborhoods (Wicker Park and Roscoe Village, respectively), have warmth and character, and provide consistently great entertainment. Robert Gomez, owner of both venues, joins me outside Beat Kitchen to talk about the venues and Chicago's live music landscape. Timing is everything: this conversation takes place as SubT revs up its 30th anniversary celebration (#SubT30). As we chat about the music scene, we snack on Beat Kitchen's delicious steak sandwich and Thai pizza. Both are recommended, but pack some mints. I really enjoyed talking with Robert; if you have an interest in Chicago's music landscape, this is a must-listen. ## CCC is sponsored by Easy Automation.

(87) Celebramos los subtítulos con itálicas y la lectura inmersiva que hemos incorporado. Allan Tépper saluda a Víctor Martorella y a Víctoria Mesas García, los dos locutores principales de la apertura. Luego saluda a cada oyente. Después de presentarse, Tépper aclara los auspiciadores de este episodio: El restaurante y bar Mylos en Gabletes Coralinos, Florida, con rica comida griega e internacional, MylosGabletesCoralinos.com Calladito.com… el servicio que puede agregar un número telefónico adicional a tu teléfono móvil o tableta, sin la necesidad de ninguna tarjeta SIM, ni física ni virtual, donde vivas en el mundo.

Para más información, visita TuTeclado.com Se oye el puente de CapicúaFM, con la voz de nuestra amiga, la destacada locutora, lingüista y cantante española María Esnoz Tépper aclara que desde el episodio 86, CapicúaFM ya cuenta con subtítulos opcionales en el sitio web CapicúaFM.com, lectura inmersiva e itálicas, también conocidas como cursivas. Tépper aclara que aunque los subtítulos se conocen hace décadas en las películas y en la televisión, ahora también pueden existir con ciertos programas que son netamente sonido, como es el caso de CapicúaFM y que eso está relacionado con la lectura inmersiva también. Tépper menciona que en el 2012, redactó por primera vez sobre la lectura inmersiva en la revista ProVideo Coalition. En aquel momento, estaba hablando de una subfunción de una aplicación Kindle en ciertos dispositivos (pero no en ningún dispositivo de tinta electrónica). La lectura inmersiva era (y sigue siendo) una subcaracterística de WhisperSync de Amazon. WhisperSync permite una oferta de libros electrónicos calificados junto con un audiolibro correspondiente, no sólo para ahorrar dinero y realizar un seguimiento de hasta dónde habíamos llegado con la lectura de un libro electrónico o la reproducción del audiolibro correspondiente y mantenerlos sincronizados, sino también (con la lectura inmersiva) poder leer y escuchar simultáneamente y resaltar específicamente las palabras habladas para mantener la concentración mental. Muchas fuentes indican que de esta manera, el lectoroyente comprende y recuerda el contenido mucho mejor. Ahora, nuestras podifusiones de audio pueden tener un beneficio similar. siempre que se haya creado y proporcionado una transcripción adecuada con código de tiempo. Tépper aclara que esta ventaja es independiente de las del posicionamiento orgánico y accesibilidad para los seguidores sordos que nos brindan las transcripciones. Dicho sea de paso, en el 2024, la Asociación Nacional de Sordos de los Estados Unidos prefiere el término sordo para designar la condición mencionada.) Logramos este objetivo con el episodio 86 de radio CapicúaFM, y el 87 que estás oyendo. Si escuchas el episodio 86 o éste el 87 directamente en el sitio web de CapicúaFM.com, podrás experimentar la lectura inmersiva inclusive con letra cursiva si oprimes el botón CC después de haber hecho clic en el botón de Reproducir. ¿Cuándo debemos usar las itálicas (o cursivas)? Según varias guías de gramática y estilo tanto en castellano como en inglés, debemos usar las itálicas (cursivas): Cuando se utiliza un término extranjero como Déjà vu Al mencionar el nombre de un álbum musical, largometraje, obra de teatro, periódico, programa de radio (incluidas las podifusiones), revista o sitio web citado sin el sufijo TLD. En CapicúaFM, solemos mencionar y analizar las obras de teatro (por ejemplo, Nadie te conoce como yo), programas de televisión (por ejemplo. Viaje a las estrellas: Picard, conocido en España como Star Trek: Picard) y películas (ej.Los amantes del círculo polar). Esos nombres de obras de teatro, películas y programas de televisión deben estar en cursivas en las notas de los episod...

Él es el nov… digo, mejor será presentarle como el CEO de Gipun Cosmetic.무영: 처음 뵙겠습니다. 신무영입니다.Muyeong: Mucho gusto. Soy Shin Muyoung.승구: 만나 봬서 반갑습니다. 저희 회사에 느낌 좋은 배우들 많습니다.Seunggu: Encantado de conocerle. En nuestra agencia tenemos muchos artistas de buen perfil.무영: 아 예, 기억해 두겠습니다. 전 이만 가보겠습니다. 오늘 폐 많이 끼쳤어요.Muyeong: Ah, claro. Lo tendré en cuenta. Será mejor que me vaya. Siento las molestias causadas.태주: 무슨 말씀을요. 또 봬요.Taeju: No pasa nada. Nos vemos.무영: 네.Muyeong: Hasta pronto.건우: 누나 우리도 갈게.Geonwoo: Taeju, nosotros también nos vamos.Expresión de la semana콩깍지가 끼셨네요 Pronunciación: pye mani kkichyeosseoyo.Traducción: Siento las molestias causadasExplicación gramatical폐 많이 끼쳤어요 empieza con el sustantivo 폐, el cual corresponde a ‘molestia’, ‘incomodidad’ o ‘daño’ infligido a otra persona. A este le sigue el adverbio 많이, de mucho, abundante o muy; y finalmente tenemos el verbo 끼쳤어요 (끼치다, en su forma básica), el cual a su vez significa ‘causar un perjuicio, influir en algo o alguien. Por lo común, el verbo "끼치다" se usa junto con 걱정 (preocupación), 영향 (influencia) o 불편 (molestia), o sea, con sustantivos negativos. Generalmente esta expresión se utiliza cuando visitamos la casa o el lugar de trabajo de otra persona y deseamos manifestarle nuestra gratitud por las atenciones recibidas o por la ayuda o consejo que nos ha dado. Así, podemos emplear 폐 많이 끼쳤어요 cuando estamos en deuda con otra persona o cuando le hemos causado molestias; pero también a modo de saludo de despedida. El siguiente es un ejemplo de uso de este enunciado:“그동안 여러 가지로 폐가 많았습니다”Esta frase se traduce como “siento las molestias causadas durante todo este tiempo” o bien simplemente “gracias por todo”.
En este episodio, charlamos con Juan López Vera y Jeff Rodríguez, del equipo de subtitulación de la FIFA, sobre cómo es traducir para la asociación deportiva más importante del planeta. Nuestros invitados crearon el departamento de subtitulación ante la demanda de material audiovisual sobre fútbol que se ha generado en los últimos años en la Federación y nos cuentan sobre su trabajo, sobre la importancia de tener una gran especialización en el rubro y sobre la experiencia de subtitular en el mundial de Qatar 2022.En los «Subtítulos con carácter», Guillermo entrevista a Conchi Domene, la ganadora de la beca 2023 de En sincronía, quien asistió a la 7 CITA de ATRAE gracias al premio y nos cuenta cómo fue la experiencia.Consulta el episodio subtitulado y accede a la lista de enlaces en nuestro canal de Youtube.En sincronía by Damián Santilli, Blanca Arias Badia & Guillermo Parra is licensed under a Creative Commons Reconocimiento-NoComercial 4.0 Internacional License: https://bit.ly/3jXTwjB
Subtítulos태주: 넌 나이도 몰랐니?Taeju: ¿No sabías que era mayor?소림: 사귀는 사이 아니었다니까. 나 혼자 관심 있었던 거지.Sorim: Te dije que al principio no había nada entre nosotros. Solo yo estaba interesada en él.태주: 그렇게까지 차이나 보이진 않았는데.Taeju: Yo tampoco pude notar que había tanta diferencia entre tú y él.소림: 동안이지?Sorim: ¿A que parece mucho más joven de lo que es?태주: 뭐하는 사람이야?Taeju: ¿A qué se dedica?소림: 건실한 직장인이야.Sorim: Es un oficinista muy laborioso.태주: 인상은 조남수보다 백배 낫다.Taeju: Al menos deja mucha mejor impresión que Namsu.건우: 그건 그렇긴 해.Geonwoo: Absolutamente.소림: 그치? 역시 언니가 사람 보는 눈이 있어. Sorim: ¿Verdad que sí? Hay que reconocer que tienes buen ojo para reconocer a las personas.Expresión de la semana보는 눈이 있어 Pronunciación: boneun nuni isseoTraducción: Tener buen ojoExplicación gramaticalEsta frase empieza con el verbo 보는, cuya forma infinitiva es 보다 y corresponde a ‘ver’, ‘evaluar’, ‘fijarse’. Le sigue 눈, sustantivo que a su vez equivale a ‘ojo’. Finalmente tenemos 있어, de ‘haber’, ‘estar’. Al enunciar ‘보는 눈이 있어’ estamos diciendo que una persona tiene la capacidad de evaluar muy bien algo, ya sean cosas, personas o incluso hechos o acciones. El verbo ‘보다’ tiene varios significados y aquí se usa con el sentido de ‘evaluar algo’. Así por ejemplo, cuando decimos: “그의 행동을 실수로 볼 수 없다”, nos referimos a que las acciones de una persona no pueden considerarse como un simple error, o sea, significa que fueron intencionales.Con respecto al sustantivo 눈, este tiene diversos significados, pero en el contexto del diálogo que escuchamos, 눈 se usa con el sentido de “poder de ver y juzgar las cosas". Por tanto, el modismo "보는 눈 이 있어” quiere decir "tener la capacidad de evaluar o juzgar algo, ya sean personas o hechos".
Subtítulos현정: 넌 싫은 걸 왜 남더러 하라고 해.Hyeonjeong: ¿Por qué obligas a otros que hagan lo que a ti no te gusta?상민: 김태주는 할 줄 알았지.Sangmin: Creí que Taeju podría hacerlo.현정: 함부로 새언니한테 까불지 마. 너 그러다 큰코다친다. 태주씨 마냥 순둥순둥한 사람 아니야. 강단 있고 예의 바른 사람이지.Hyeonjeong: No seas grosera con tu cuñada. De seguir así, te verás en grandes problemas. Aunque lo parezca Taeju no es ninguna ingenua. Tiene carácter y a la vez es muy educada.갑분: 그래, 이제 손윗 사람한테 너도 예의를 지켜. Gapbun: Así es. Ya es hora de que seas más respetuosa con tu cuñada, que además, es mayor que tú.Expresión de la semana그러다 큰코다친다 Pronunciación: geureoda keun ko dachindaTraducción: Te verás en grandes problemasExplicación gramatical“그러다 큰코다친다” le advierte Hyeongjeong a su sobrina, en alusión a que no sea impertinente con su cuñada Taeju. En español, 그러다 큰 코 다친다 significa: “De seguir así, te verás en grandes problemas”. Este enunciado empieza con 그러다, que es la forma abreviada de ‘그렇게 하다가 (De seguir haciendo eso / De seguir actuando de esa manera)’. En particular, el sufijo ‘-다가’ se usa para sugerir que si los acontecimientos de la cláusula anterior continúan, se producirán malos resultados. Por ejemplo, se puede enunciar de la siguiente manera:“안 일어나고 있다가 지각하겠다.”(Si no te despiertas ya llegarás tarde)“그렇게 많이 먹다가 살찐다”. (Si sigues comiendo de esa manera engordarás)Luego tenemos ‘큰코다친다’ que es un verbo muy simpático cuya traducción literal es ‘accidentarse gravemente la naríz’ o ‘sufrir una gran lesión en la nariz’ y se refiere explícitamente a cuando una persona sufre una gran vergüenza o cae en un serio problema.Por consiguiente, la expresión ‘그러다가 큰코다친다’ se utiliza cuando se advierte a alguien que si continúa comportándose como lo hace ahora, tendrá grandes problemas en el futuro y finalmente tendrá un mal fin.A modo de afianzar esta frase, les daré un ejemplo de cómo usarla en una conversación. Por ejemplo A dice: “나는 농담으로 한 말이었는데 걔가 화를 너무 내더라.” (Yo solo lo dije en broma, pero ella se enfadó muchísimo)” Entonces B replica: “너, 그러다 큰코다친다. 농담도 정도껏 해야지.”(De seguir así, te verás en problemas. No te sobrepases con las bromas).
Subtítulos무영: 나한테 정신 차리라고 얘기 좀 해 주세요. 난 나이도 많고, 딸도 있고 또 .....Muyeong: Por favor dígame que entre en razón. Yo le llevo mucha diferencia de edad, tengo una hija y…소림: 정신 차리세요!Sorim: ¡Entre en razón!무영: 네, 노력하고 있습니다....Muyeong: Sí, estoy poniendo todo mi esfuerzo en ello…소림: 정신 차리고, 솔직해져 봐요.Sorim: Recapacite y trate de ser más sincero.무영: 선생님이야말로 정신 차리세요. 앞으로 즐거운 일기만 쓰라고 했잖아요.Muyeong: Es Ud. maestra quien debe entrar en razón. Ud. fue quien me dijo que en adelante solo hay que registrar hechos felices en la agenda personal. 소림: 신무영씨이랑 같이 있는 게 즐거운 일기가 될지도 몰라요.Sorim: Quizás el hecho de estar con Ud. sea una sucesión de hechos felices para mi agenda.Expresión de la semana정신 차리세요!Pronunciación: jeongsin chariseyo!Traducción: ¡Entre en razón!Explicación gramaticalEsta expresión, que en español equivale a: ¡entre en razón!, ¡mantenga el buen juicio!, ¡más cordura, por favor!, etc. empieza con el sustantivo 정신, correspondiente a espíritu, en particular a la capacidad de sentir, pensar y juzgar las cosas. A su vez, 차리세요, cuya forma básica es 차리다, significa ‘calmarse’, ‘recuperar la conciencia, el ánimo o la energía de una persona’. Generalmente “정신차리세요” se utiliza para exhortar a alguien a que piense o actúe de manera más concienzuda y haciendo buen uso de la razón, en particular cuando esta se encuentra en un estado que parece inusual o anormal. En realidad, la expresión “정신 차리세요” se usaba en casos en que una persona cayera en estado de inconsciencia, sacudiéndola y tratando de que se despertara del trance. Sin embargo, tal como en este diálogo que intercambian Sorim y Muyeong, este enunciado se utiliza para instarle a una persona que piensa, habla o actúa incoherentemente o está fuera de toda razón para que pueda discernir entre lo que es correcto y lo que no lo es.
Subtítulos상준: 태주야! Sangjun: ¡Taeju!갑분: 빌라 입구에 서 있길래 내가 들어오라고 했지. Gapbun: Estaba de pie en la entrada de nuestra casa así que le hice entrar.태주: 어머닌 좀 어떠셔? 내가 혈압이라도 좀 재 드릴까? 용실이가 비타민 수액도 가지고 왔거든. Taeju: ¿Cómo está tu madre? ¿Puedo medirle la presión? Yongsil trajo una vitamina intravenosa.상민: 아... 뭐야 진짜 병 주고 약 주네. 우리 엄마가 누구 때문에 스트레스 받아서 쓰러졌는데! Sangmin: Vaya…¿qué es esto? Es como si le dieras el mal y la cura al mismo tiempo. ¿Acaso te olvidas de quién tiene la culpa de que mamá se haya desmayado por exceso de estrés? 갑분: 아니, 뭐, 쓰러졌어? 엄마가 쓰러졌어? Gapbun: ¿Cómo? ¿Que quién se desmayó? ¿Tu madre se ha desvanecido?Expresión de la semana병 주고 약 주네 Pronunciación: byeong jugo yak juneTraducción: Dar el mal y la cura al mismo tiempoExplicación gramatical병 주고 약 주네 es una expresión que empieza con el sustantivo 병 (enfermedad, mal). A este le sigue el verbo 주고 (주다, en su forma básica) y que corresponde a ‘dar’, ‘proporcionar’. Por último tenemos 약, sustantivo que a su vez equivale a ‘medicina’ o ‘remedio’. En conjunto, la traducción literal de esta frase sería: dar la enfermedad y el remedio. “병 주고 약 주다” es un dicho muy popular en habla diaria de los coreanos y que se usa metafóricamente para aquellos que intentan consolar o proteger a alguien después de haberle hecho daño. Generalmente puede ser enunciada de las siguientes formas: ‘병 주고 약 주는구나’ o ‘병 주고 약 주지 마라’ e incluso ‘병 주고 약 준다’. Todas estas significan básicamente: Dar el mal y la cura al mismo tiempo.
Subtítulos은주: 크로아상 생지를 주문해서 오븐에 구운 거예요. 드셔보세요, 맛있어요.Eunju: Compré la masa de cruasán y la cociné en el horno. Pruébela, está deliciosa.세란: 매번 고마워. 잘 먹을게. Seran: Tú siempre tan amable. Gracias.은주: 상준이 스토커 잡혀서 다행이에요 고모님. Eunju: Es un alivio que hayan atrapado a la acosadora de Sangjun.세란: 그러게 말야. 이제 한시름 놨어. Seran: Eso digo. Ya pasó lo peor.Expresión de la semana알음알음 Pronunciación: hansireum nwasseoTraducción: Ya pasó lo peorExplicación gramaticalSobre esta expresión incluye el sustantivo 한시름, el cual tiene el sentido de ‘gran interés y preocupación’. Es que justamente el prefijo ‘한’ es el que añade el significado de ‘grande’ o ‘gran’, mientras que '시름' equivale a 'ansiedad’ o ‘preocupación’ que ronda en nuestra mente y es difícil de resolver. Al sustantivo 한시름 le sigue el verbo 놓다, que a su vez significa ‘olvidar o resolver una preocupación o una situación que causaba tensión. O sea, con “한시름 놨어” estamos expresando que ‘se ha resuelto algo que nos mantenía preocupados o pendientes’. Al respecto, sepan que podemos enunciar “한시름 놨어”, tal como lo hace Seran en el episodio que escuchábamos, o bien optar por la alternativa “한시름 덜었어” (한시름 덜다, en su forma básica). En este segundo caso, 덜다 es un verbo que significa ‘reducir’, ‘mermar’ o ‘mitigar’ y combinado con 한시름 tiene el sentido de ‘reducir una gran preocupación o inquietud’.

Subtítulos용실: 와, 여기 너무 좋은데요. 일부러 숙소 어플엔 안 올리시는 거예요? Yongsil: Guau, ¡qué lugar más bonito! Por las dudas, ¿no lo publicaron en la aplicación de alojamientos a posta? 윤호: 네, 알음알음 친구소개로만 예약할 수 있어요. Yunho: Así es. Solo se puede reservar por la recomendación de un conocido.지훈: 제 이름 대면 무조건 예약됩니다. Jihun: Si dan mi nombre, podrán reservar habitación incondicionalmente. 윤호: 그건 아니구요, 김태주 허용실, 두 분 이름으로 예약하셔야만 VVIP케어 들어갑니다. Yunho: Está bromeando. Pero si reservan diciendo que es de parte de Kim Taeju y Heo Yongsil, les darán trato de VVIP. 지훈: 와... 형, 이런 사람 아니잖아. Jihun: Vaya… Yunho, no te conozco.Expresión de la semana알음알음 Pronunciación: areumareumTraducción: Por recomendación de un conocidoExplicación gramatical알음알음 es un sustantivo coreano que significa “una relación de conocimiento mutuo” y como tal se utiliza cuando las personas hacen algo a través de un conocido en común. Este término repite dos veces el sustantivo 알음, que está relacionado con el verbo 알다 (‘saber’ o ‘conocer’). La forma 알음 en sí se refiere a “conocerse entre sí” o sea, “conocerse entre dos o más personas". Así, se suele enunciar: “나는 그 사람과 알음이 있는 사이다” (Tengo conocimiento de esa persona)".En el momento de usar esta frase, generalmente lo hacemos expresando “알음알음”, tal cual lo hace Yunho en el diálogo que nos sirve de referencia; pero también es común emplear la forma: “알음알음으로”. De hecho, Yunho, el productor de TV, le aclara a Yongsil, que el sitio donde están no está abierto al público en general y por tanto no ofrece alojamiento a través de anuncios o aplicaciones móviles sino que hay que hacerlo a reservar por medio de contactos o por recomendación de conocidos.
Subtítulos말순: 애미 애비야, 나와서 차 마셔라. Malsun: Hijos, vengan a tomar el té. 행복: 네, 나가요.Haengbok: Sí, ya vamos.말순: 오늘은 한양 도성길을 저 끝까지 돌고 왔대. Malsun: Parece que hoy dieron un paseo por todo el camino de la antigua capital del reino. 유리: 두 분은 진짜 금슬 좋으세요. 저도요, 건우 오빠랑 결혼하면 꼭 그렇게 살고 싶어요. Yuri: Ambos forman una pareja muy feliz. Yo también quisiera vivir como ellos cuando me case con Geonwoo.말순: 너희는 더 깨가 쏟아지게 살겠지. Malsun: Pierde cuidado que Uds. estarán en la eterna luna de miel. Expresión de la semana깨가 쏟아지게 살겠지 Pronunciación: kkaega ssodajige salgetjiTraducción: kkaega ssodajige salgetjiExplicación gramaticalLiteralmente, esta locución significa ‘vivirán como si les cayera una lluvia de semillas de sésamo’. Aquí, ‘깨’ corresponde a semillas de sésamo, mientras que ‘쏟아지게 (쏟아지다, en su forma básica)’ equivale a los verbos ‘caer’ o ‘derramarse’. Esta expresión se usa cuando una pareja de recién casados disfruta de su vida juntos dando la sensación de que se aman y su día a día es una sucesión de hechos felices y dulces. Esta frase tiene que ver con la tradición agrícola de Corea. Es que a la hora de cosechar granos, como el arroz o la cebada, se suele utilizar una trilladora para obtener los granos de forma más rápida y sencilla. Sin embargo, en el caso de las semillas de sésamo, estas se caen fácilmente con sólo una ligera sacudida. Por consiguiente, las semillas de sésamo son mucho más fáciles de cosechar y a la vez es gratificante ver cómo estas se derraman abundantemente cada vez que uno las agita. De ahí nace esta expresión '깨가 쏟아지다’, que alude al júbilo de obtenerlas y a la vez al sabor tan untuoso y delicioso de estas semillas, comparándolas con el periodo más dichoso de la luna de miel de una pareja de recién casados.

So we will discuss that and then we'll also touch on a more recent event today event, a breaking event, breaking news as some would say, which is that Andrew Tate has been arrested for sex trafficking. Among other things, but mainly sex trafficking. That's kind of a big one. So , we will discuss that as well. And it kind of ties into the whole self-help thing because if you didn't know it, uh, Andrew Tate basically has an empire of people that pay him monthly for his advice. Uh, maybe you don't take advice from predators. I don't know. So we will discuss that. We'll discuss the crazy circumstances as to how that actually happened, but mainly today is all going to be on my journey through the dark realms of the self-help industry, some good things, some bad things, um, some recommendations for you.

Um, that's all I got for you for right now. So again, thank you so much for listening and let's get started. Welcome to Red Pill Revolution. My name is Austin Adams. Red Pill Revolution started out with me, realizing everything that I knew, everything that I believed, everything I interpret about my life is through the lens of the information I was spoonfed as a child. Religion, politics, history, conspiracies, Hollywood medicine, money, food, all of it. Everything we know was tactfully written to influence your decisions and your view on reality by those in power. Now I'm on a mission, a mission to retrain and reeducate myself to find the true reality of what is behind that curtain. And I'm taking your ass with me. Welcome to the Revolution. All right, let's jump into it. New Year's is upon us, and that means one thing, well, probably a few things, but one thing in particular that a lot of people talk about this time of year, which is New Year's resolutions. Now I put out a, uh, I put out a story today asking people what they thought, if they're going to do resolutions, and to no surprise, I think recently. I believe that resolutions New Year's resolutions have beginning some hate more recently than than ever now. If you recall like it, it was a, probably five, 10 years ago, new Year's resolutions were a cool thing to do. Now all of a sudden New Year's resolutions are apparently lame. I, I don't get it. Why? I, I don't know. I don't understand it. I, I have some insight from some people who talked about this, uh, that gave me their feedback as to why they would not be doing a New Year's resolution this year. So we will talk about that too. But, um, overall the overarching thing seems to be people who think that, uh, basically the overwhelming response that I got regarding this was that if I'm going to improve my life, I can do it at any time of year. That was the overwhelming, the overwhelming response that I got to this story. So I think there's some merit to that, although, , although , although I do think that also, um, I, I think that everything goes in cycles. I think that, uh, there's a, there's absolutely a time and place for resolutions. Some people do it on their birthdays, some people do it on a yearly basis with New Year's, and I think that's okay. Right? I, I think that it's an opportunities for self-awareness, right? If, if you know anything about meditation, you know anything about mindfulness, it's about finding a way to make a mental note when you can improve on something, whether it's your anger, whether it's frustration, whether it's habits that you want to create, waking up early, whatever it is, it's about finding a way to find mental notes and get mental clarity and improve your life, right? Whether it's in the moment by being a better person, by, you know, walking away when maybe you wanna say something back to that person who is a jerk. Whatever it is, it's about finding those opportunities for selfa. That's my thought on New Year's resolutions. I think that there's a time and place for it. I think that people absolutely, I I, I don't get the hate with resolutions, honestly. I think that there should absolutely be a place for people every single year to sit down, sit back and take a look at their life. Right? Every single year there, there's a literal number attached to it, right? A full rotation around the sun, and so I, I absolutely think there's a time and place for it, but do your thing, right? If you're that person who's just like, All year round is just making their life better. Good for you, . I think that's awesome, but for everybody else, it's a time and place that, that just kind of gives you that kick in the ass when you need it. Sit down in making your resolutions now. Now I think there's some better ways to do it because I think a lot of what's happened more recently is the consumer is, is consumerism aspect of New Year's resolutions. Right. I think that there's absolutely, you know, the, the same way that Amazon goes crazy, right before Black Friday, you see all the gyms like , the gyms, the New Year's is their Christmas, right? So don't get sucked into that, right? If, if you're not going to pay for a personal trainer in the middle of the year trying to, you know, Lose some weight, then maybe don't, you shouldn't buy a, a 10, uh, round package with your local gym to do so. But I definitely think that there's a, a, a good element to it as long as you approach it the right way. And I think that's kind of a general theme to self-help in general. Right? You'll see, you'll see what I have here, a bunch of books, right? So I'm, I'm, I'm quite versed on this. I've, I've read literally name a self-help book, name a guru, whatever. I, I've, I've heard of them, right? I was in a, uh, a highly, um, competitive industry of sales for a long time. I, I trained salespeople. I helped them, you know, find their way in, in the world of that. And, and it almost goes hand in hand. I ran book clubs about self-help stuff. So it's like, I, I have a, a decent resume when it comes to talking on this. So we, we'll get into some of my recommendations, some of the things that I would stay away from. Um, but primarily the, the overarching theme here is like self-awareness over self-improvement. And I think that self-awareness and, and learning to be more self-aware allows you to improve overall throughout your entire life. And obviously the biggest number one thing that people will tell you to do to become more self-aware is to meditate, right? Is to do yoga, to find ways to be mindful in the moment. Because, you know, I've, I've talked about meditation and how it's improved my life in positive ways before, but. I'll tell you again because I think it's worth, I think it's worth having a conversation about, um, for a lot of people you have this constant stream of negativity in your brain, right? You have this constant stream of like, you know, self-doubt and um, imposter syndrome and all, all of these things that go on inside of your head. There's a constant stream of things and, and, and what meditation and mindfulness allows you to do is actually recognize that. Now, one of the gurus I'll talk about a little bit later is Tim Ferris and Tim Ferris, just with this one little idea changed my mind and, and helped me out a lot. And we'll talk about the gurus I think are bullshit in a little bit cuz there's definitely some of those out there. Um, but Tim Ferris talks about the monkey mind. Right. Tim Ferriss talks about, uh, realizing that there is a side of your consciousness that is unhelpful and it's the one that you don't give enough attention to, but is constantly there, and that's your monkey mind, right? So through meditation, through mindfulness, you can start to realize that that's there and start to improve on it, right? Start to realize that I don't want to have that constant stream of negativity. I want to take a deep breath and think of something positive, right? And, and orient myself in a direction that's positive rather than self-criticism, right? And so, so there's absolutely that, and that's, that's one thing that I think is great, that helps you, at least in the very beginnings of meditation, is the biggest impact it will have on your life and fairly quickly. It doesn't take very long. Um, but definitely. I think overarching over self-improvement, over self-help is self-awareness and behind what I'm talking about here and the recommendations I'm going to make to you, you'll see that in an overarching kind of theme. All right? Now, one thing that is a current event that we will talk about right away though, is going to be the fact that Andrew Tate, Andrew Tate, the, the misogynistic asshole that everybody knows him to be, has come out again. Now, I say again because a lot of people don't know this, Andrew Tate actually legitimately, has been tr like, was arrested for sex trafficking before this, this already happened, right? So, so this isn't new, like a new idea that Andrew Tate is like this, this trafficking individual. Now something that I find to be interesting about the whole situation. Let's, let's back up and get the timeline. So, Andrew Tate and Greta th. Thunberg, I always thought it was Thornberg, first of all. So I think this is some Mandela effect bullshit that all of a sudden it's Thunberg. I've, for some reason in my head, it was always Thornberg . It was always thornberg. But, uh, Andrew Tate and Greta Thunberg were going back and forth on Twitter and, uh, Andrew t basically said something to her about his 33 cars in a Bugatti with a 12 in, you know, 12 V engine and, and all this stuff. And, and Greta Thunberg, uh, said something back about, um, please send me an email about it. Small Dick energy at Greta Thunberg, or whatever it was. And that was the big ooh, that everybody called it, uh, because she said that, yeah, it was a pretty good comeback to Andrew Tate. But I'm not going to give any, any, uh, credit to Greta Thunberg or Greta Thornberg, which is her actual name in the realm that apparently I'm from, that I now switched to this one in because I absolutely believe it was Thornberg. Until today anyways, um, so he has been allegedly was, was being charged for sex trafficking and the rape of two women within this year. Prior to that, he's had claims against him of like physical and sexual abuse. One, going back to the time that he was on a reality show and there was a video that came out of him with, uh, a girl where he was like kind of being a little bit abusive sexually. And the girl came out and said that there was consensual and this and that, but he got a lot of, a lot of pushback from that. Um, but he also has actually been ha been arrested in the same way that he was today for sex trafficking. Um, now he was not, he, he was not found guilty. So there's one thing. Now that doesn't always mean that they weren't guilty. Um, I would say that, um, he obviously has some, some places where that misogyny is coming from, right? The, the, the whole idea, the way that he speaks about women, all that whole, I, the whole identity that Andrew Tate has is surrounding misogynistic ideologies. And when you, you degenerate women to sexuality and you, you push them into the, the, the kitchen role and like, you know, all of that kind of surrounds, devaluing somebody for who they actually are. And so that kind of can allude you to believing that he would be capable of something like this. Now, I'm not saying that he is. What is interesting is he was on the drink, or the Dr. Milk Boys podcast or something like that, and he came out and said that, you know, this was like a week or two ago, um, a week or two ago, he said that they were gonna try and arrest him. They said that he, the first thing they did was cancel me. The second thing they're gonna try and do is arrest me. And if that doesn't work and I don't shut up at that point, then they're gonna kill me. Now, maybe he could have been predicting his arrest because he's actually a sex trafficking weirdo, misogynistic asshole, like a lot of us already believe. Um, but also maybe there's something to that idea of what happened to Kanye where all, like all of the cancellations across, you know, every single company, every brand, all of it happens simultaneously in, in this like constructed way. So, I don't know, I, I will let the, the, the Romanian legal teams deal with this. I, I don't know how much belief I have in them. Um, or how, you know, their, their unwillingness to be paid off by somebody who can brag about having 33 Bugattis or whatever he was doing to Greta Thunberg. I don't know. But that's what's going on with Andrew Tate. Now, the reason that this ties into self-help stuff is because Andrew Tate runs something called Hustlers University. And I think that self-help gets a bad rep because of literally people exactly like Andrew Tate, he promises all this stuff. He builds pyramid schemes around, you know, the, this regurgitated materials and this regurgitated ideas that he, he's been taking from little books and, and writings here or there and then claims to say it, you know, talk, talk about, you know, studying religions and, and all of this like bullshit guru ideas. And so, and that's what you kind of see in all, all of these fake bullshit gurus that I'll talk about a little bit later. And I'm gonna call 'em out by name cuz I think there are several. And I, and I followed these people and I paid money for courses and I went to seminars and shook their hands and like, I did the whole deal, guys. I promise I did it all. Um, so, so I know what I'm talking about. I, I'm, I was in this whole, I like this whole segment of society, this hustle, porn, hustle culture. And, and what you'll find is it's pretty empty. It's, uh, it, it's, it's built around this idea of like, almost like everybody's in some sort of weird manic episode. Um, when they're at these events right now. Now there are some good ones and there are some great books and there are some things that you can do to improve your life, but most of them don't involve paying some random 32 year old asshole who shows off his Lamborghini $2,500 to become a part of a course and then sell that course to other people on his behalf. I don't know, it was a pyramid scheme. The whole thing was a pyramid scheme. That was Andrew Tate's deal. That's where he made his money. Um, you know, it was not beyond popular belief. His professional kickboxing where he probably made a total of $10,000 right now. . I do think that there are some things that Andrew Tate talked about that were, had some merit, right? He talked about cancel culture. He talked about the death of masculinity. You know, he, he has alluded to some things that are, that make sense in today's society. Um, but the overarching theme in, in, in the things that stick out, I, if you have a bunch of clips of you calling women, you know, worthless unless they're in the kitchen cooking you food, uh, or, you know, the, the whole ideas that he had surrounding that just, just allude you to believe that maybe there's something, some merit to this idea of, of him, you know, degenerating then down to acts of, uh, you know, trafficking and, and things like that. So, um, anyways, again, my idea. Self-awareness over self-help and definitely don't pay some, any, any random asshole who shows you their Lamborghini, do not pay them any money at all. . And, and it seems like culture has gotten away from this a little bit, which I'm really happy about because there was, I would say probably four or five years ago there was this like whole hustle culture and hustle porn. And like I said, I was like neck deep in it. I've read all the books. Like I said, I got 'em like really little, like a, a handful of them behind me and a whole library of them. So if you, you call it out, I will be able to talk about it. I've read it, I know the authors I, I've, I've gone through it. and there are some that I'll call out that I like and some that I don't specifically like, but I think that the, the overarching theme is that hustle porn, hustle culture, the Gary vs. The Work Till You Die, culture is going away, which is, I think, pretty positive in, in the way society is kind of shifting, right? I think that there is much more of a look towards things like self-awareness and meditation. Mindfulness than there is around like wake up, snort some coffee and get to the gym at 3:00 AM and then run to the office from the gym and then sit down and work till 2:00 AM the next morning, and then take an hour of sleep and then go after it again. Like there was this, this whole I would almost a decade, maybe like a half a decade, where the hustle, porn, hustle culture, Gary V the, that whole idea of how you should act. That, that, and, and it preyed upon people who were willing and able to do the work. But it, but it positioned you in a wrong way. Right. You, you never need to pay $2,500 to have motivation. Right. And again, I think doing. A New Year's resolution where you sit down for a, a, a half hour, an hour, you look at your past year, you come up with ideas of where you want to be in a, a, a year. I do think that, you know, um, visualization when it comes to, especially things like sports, right? It's hard to like visualize your, you know, you should visualize yourself successful and, and visualization is important. Um, I think writing down your goals and, and, you know, trying to review your past year is probably more important than predicting your next year. And I think that's a part that a lot of people miss when it comes to their New Year's resolutions. Um, so, you know, if you do do resolutions, if you're somebody who's too good for 'em and you're just awesome all the time, like, good for you, I think that's great. And, and not everybody has that type of motivation. Um, and a lot of the people who say that they're doing that are lying to themselves. Now, that's not to say that there's not. Savages out there that are just killing it every day. And I, I wish I was like you, where I just, you know, but motivation is fleeting, right? Consistency is always key in whatever it is that you do. And sometimes you just don't need this shit at all. Maybe you just need to spend time with your kids. Maybe you love walking your dog and you don't need to wake up at 4:00 AM to do it, right. Maybe you, you need to do more of your hobbies that you enjoy. Maybe you need to, to draw more at night, right? It's like you don't need to work your face off, as Gary V would say, to, to have, because success means different things to different people. Right? And this is like a conversation that I would have my, with my children around this. success to you does not need to mean the same thing that it does to me. Maybe I love cars, right? And there, there's, there's probably very few people that love cars to the extent that you should be spending $500,000 on them. Uh, but , if you love cars and that's your thing, and you wanna save up $500,000 and buy a McLaren, do it, cool. But for the most part, people that are doing those things are doing it because they're self-conscious. They're doing it because they want to be accepted. They want to feel like they're somebody. And, and, and a lot of times what they'll do is they'll sacrifice, and you'll see this with all of the gurus that have been out there for, for however many years, the high Lopezs, the, you know, they literally rent their, rent the car for a weekend, rent the, the, the Airbnb that makes it look like they're in a mansion every time they have to do a video. This is actually a thing I saw people do this, that I met at these type of events where they would rent a car, rent a, a a million dollar apartment for a day. Spend $3,000 on both of them and then create 50 videos that they would release over the next year and a half. And it's this like weird, crazy manic episode that everybody's going through together. But again, I'm, I'm super happy that it died. So it was The Laws of Success by Napoleon Hill and the Laws of Success is what broke down later into Think and Grow Rich. Now, if, when it gets into like the self-help industry, this book, the Laws of Success by Napoleon Hill is like the, the, the beginning of that right now. And if you listen to a lot of people, they'll tell you that like the Bible's, the OG self-help book. And, and in many ways they're right, right? It it, and, and in, in the best ways, they're probably the most, right? Because it's about being a good person, not as much about making as much money as possible or stretching your 24 hours into the most effective minute by minute, uh, productivity that you can. So it started there, right? I was 16, 17. I went into the military, got outta the military, right? Went into 18, got out at 22, and I went into sales. In sales. When you get into like this high intensity, high turnover sales, I did it for five years. In an industry that was like super cutthroat, you'd have like 85% drop off rates of everybody that you'd hire. Um, and that was like expected, built into the culture. And, and so you'd have to motivate these people because it was a hundred percent commission, right? And you'd teach them how to sell. And most people suck at sales. And it's very difficult to teach somebody with the wrong personality how to sell, but you try it anyways. And in, in many ways, I think almost everybody in those industries are good intentioned. And I think that in a lot of cases, if you find the right people, it can work out very well, but in most cases it doesn't. So anyways, I went into sales and, you know, this'll be my little pick you up. Uh, little story for you. Um, the very first two to three months I was in sales, I, I barely made any sales. and there was a woman who was a cubicle, like down the, the way from me. And I was 22 years old and I was super frustrated and I thought I was the shit. And just, I, I couldn't make as many sales as her. And every single week she just crushed it. And so, and this is probably a better lesson than most that you'll get. And so I was trying to figure out what is she doing different than what I'm doing, right. She's saying the same things, she's selling the same products, but she just seems to be closing more people and making way more money than I was. And I was making like almost nothing at. And so what I did is I went and I sat behind her, right? I went and I just sat there for a whole day, two days actually. I sat behind her and listened to what she did and listened to how she approached her customers, and it was, it was more about authenticity than almost anybody would have you believe. And so there was no book that was gonna teach you to be authentic, right? It was just literally sitting there and listening to her. And so now that doesn't mean that I didn't run home every day and read a book that was trying to make me better, to make me more money, to make me better, you know, have a nicer watch and a nicer car and a bigger house. And so I, I, I literally lived this, and I preached this to people too, that like, in order to make more money, you need to be a better person. Now, I think that is still true today. I, I do think that if you bring value to the market, not to sound like some, you know, you'll hear Mark Zuckerberg talk about, you know, just bring value, bring value, add value to the customers. And it's like, yeah, okay, but that's, it's so vague and it's generally bullshit, but add value to the world, right? If, if you get better at the things that you enjoy doing, to the point that somebody's willing to pay you for them, getting even better at them will yield better results, right? So it's if you enjoy something and it can also make you money. Spend a lot of time on that doesn't mean you need to wake up at 4:00 AM and, and you know, throw ice cubes in your face and then douse yourself in a, an ice bath, which ice baths are great. I'll tell you that. I, I still do ice baths. Um, but it does mean that skills over productivity. I think that's the, one of the biggest keys is like skills are far more important than like second to second productivity. So if, like in inconsistency, right? Like if you, if you want to become somebody who's worth more, who can make more money, it doesn't come down to dousing yourself with ice at four in the morning and going for a run, right? And there's some people who will have you believe that, you know, and, and, and maybe in some ways they're right that a kick in the ass does help, but primarily what helps you make more money is being more valuable, right? And I, I talk to people, you know, still that I have around me that I try and mentor that are younger than me. And, and it's about, you know, if you have a utility belt and you go to a company and go look at all the skills I have, And they're only willing to pay you so much for the things that they're asking for. But you can tell them that, oh, but also I can do X, Y, and Z above and beyond what you're offering. So I'm worth this much more to you and your company as an asset because you don't have to hire this out. You don't have to bring somebody else on board, whatever that is. There's different ways to position yourself, but it all comes down to getting skillsets over life hacks, right? Like the whole hack idea that was like a whole, you know, a, a huge thing between like 2010 to 2015 was like 15 ways to hack your productivity, 15 ways to hack your sleep, 15 ways to hack your sex life. Like it was all bullshit. And it's just literally the beginning of cl click. And there's no hack, right? There's no hack to becoming a millionaire. There's no hack to becoming happy. It's about consistency over time, doing the things that you enjoy and getting better at them. And that's not something you're gonna read in these books. It's all about, you know, the, the little small things. Now I do have a few books here that I will talk about, um, but they primarily don't, don't talk about those things. And that's something that I've, I've shifted away from, right? I've, I've shifted away from Napoleon Hill and gone more towards people like, you know, Marcus Aurelius, right? Philosophy is the real self-help, right? And, and, and maybe for some people that looks like religious texts and, um, but for me, I've found that, you know, Marcus Aurelius's meditations is one of the best things that I can start my day with. It's not telling me to wake up and run 20 miles and then, you know, jump in a cold shower and take a swim through a river before 8:00 AM. It's, it's telling me how to live properly, right? It's telling me how to act in front of my children. It's, it's telling me how to be as a, a spouse or a leader or, you know, there there's a lot of things within that book that are so much more positive than any of the self-help books that are out there. Now, again, I do think that there's a place for resolutions. I do think that there's a place for self-help books and a lot of them, especially the ones that actually gain traction and are very successful, they have merit for a reason. They, there, there are things that you can find within those books, and if you spend $15 in a book and five or six or 10 hours reading it and you get one sentence that positions you in a way that you change your life in some manner or, or you better yourself as a result, then that's great, right? That's worth $15 in 10 hours because what else would you have been doing with your time? Honestly, , but it, it, where it really gets dark is the gurus. That's where I think it starts to get really, really weird. Is when it comes to the self-help gurus. Now I'll, I'll talk about some here that I think are bullshit. Were bullshit have always been bullshit and our snake oil salesman with great confidence and sales abilities, but also, uh, you know, just basically screwed over a ton of people right now. Now, a few of these people that I'll talk about, the number one, and this was literally the OG Lamborghini guy, was Ty Lopez. Ty Lopez is the biggest crock of shit in all of the self-help industries. He's the very, very first one who if you go back and you watch some of his Lamborghini videos, sit, oh, I, I'm in my garage with my Lamborghini. It's like the biggest joke. Now what he does is he takes other people's ideas, repackages them, talks about, what is it? I think he said he went to Harvard or he, like, did, he denied his acceptance to Harvard or like some BS and, and tries to be a figure of authority and convince you that if you buy my books in my $3,000 course, you too can rent a Ferrari for a weekend and take a video in front of it, . And that's how he built an empire. Now I'm not saying he didn't make money, he made crazy money doing. But what he was doing was selling a false stream. Right? And there are some courses that he had, and I've, I paid for some of 'em. There was like a Facebook advertising course. There was a, a digital marketing agency course where there's actually skills being learned and, and he would basically just aggregate different specialists across industries into teaching you how to do things correctly and then repackage them and sell them by taking a video in front of his Lamborghini , which again, goes back to never trust anybody who's taking a video in front of a Lamborghini. Um, but he would be my number one. Okay. Now the second one that I would say that I would put out there is, And it hurts me to say this because I, I was, again, deep in this industry, deep in the game for a little bit. Um, back in a different life was Grant Cardone. And, and, and you'll start to see a theme with all these people. They're like literally caricatures. The, the, the, the, um, Ty Lopez in front of his Lamborghini, the Grant Cardone just hyped up with a, a $300,000 watch that he's pointing at in front of a, a jet behind him. Like if, if any part of it feels inauthentic or it feels like a, a caricature run, run as fast as you can away from it. But there are good people now, one person that I think is kind of like a hybrid between the bullshit in, in the way that they're presented to a, a, a large audience, but when you get down to the thick of it, maybe has some positivity within it is Gary v. Gary v preached was the, the face of the hustle porn. Right. The, the hustle culture industry, Gary V would just, the, the pinnacle of it taught every single person how to act and, and what the right way was to, to position themselves as a figure of authority in this hustle porn industry. And now where I think that there's some positivity with Gary V is a lot of things that he talked about was gratitude and thankfulness and, you know, some of these things that were interwoven within his hustle porn teachings. Um, but, you know, his thing was like, work your face off and, and go garage sailing on weekends and you too could be a multimillionaire just like me. And it just, it's not generally practical. Right. And, and, and I think too, it goes back to a bigger conversation when we're talking about what I was saying earlier, which is success looks different for different people. Right. Success for me might be, you know, enjoying my time with my children, being a present father. And teaching them things that they can, you know, live a proper life by knowing, right? And, and, and maybe it's also for me is, is doing some hobbies, right? Maybe you like to play the guitar, maybe you like to, uh, go out on weekends and maybe you like to sleep in and sleeping in looks like success for you. So, you know, and, and don't discount those things. I, I think that there's a certain personality and, and I would say that, uh, I, I would say that, uh, there's a certain personality that needs that, uh, constant productivity, right? And, and, and that's the people that this praise on, right? They praise on the people who feel like they have to, you know, constantly be better. And they're comparing themselves against these guys with a Lamborghini in their garage, taking these bullshit videos with them. Um, and, and that's, that's where the dark side of this gets into is there's a certain percentage of people who need. To feel that consistent growth. And they, they need it to the point where they're willing to sacrifice almost everything else in their life to get it right. Whether it's their, their finances when they can't afford these courses, right. And they put it on a credit card, right. Or, or whether it's, um, you know, paying for, uh, a v I p experience at, at, uh, you know, some type of bullshit seminar, right? There's, there's, there's all of these, these things that are preying on this individual person who feels the need to compare themselves and feel less than, and then pay money to get to a point where they feel like they can, you know, become that guy who's gonna have their own course And there's literally courses of people teaching you how to build a course. It's like, it, it's the biggest crock of shit industry and there's a small percentage of people that do it correctly, right? And so, I'll give you some of mine that I like and, and have followed for a very long time, and that I think, Would be good for you to follow too. Okay. The first one that I like is Tim Ferris. Okay. Now again, it comes back to authenticity for me. I think that when we're talking about, especially in this, this industry where it's people are so vulnerable, where people are generally getting into self-help is because they're in a shitty position, right? They don't like where they're at in life. They're unhappy. They, they wanna be better. They wanna be more than who they are. They want to be like that guy over there who has the nice car, right? And they're willing to sacrifice their children, their happiness, their hobbies, their friends, their family to get there and where, and so it, it produces this like gross industry of people preying on people who want to better themselves in a moment of. Difficulty in a moment where they're vulnerable, where they're unhappy, maybe they're in debt. Maybe they, they can't make any money at work in a sales position. Maybe they're, you know, it, it preys on people. And so you get these cult-like followings, like what we saw with Andrew Tate, right? You see all of these, you know, 17 to 23 year old guys that are paying thousands of dollars to have the pay for the course of a man who was trafficking women so that they too can have as many cars as. Outlaw trafficker of women, . It's like, maybe, again, maybe that's not the guy who you want to, who you wanna position yourself around. And, and that's kind of what you see across the board with these people is like, most of them don't, don't present themselves as somebody who you would wanna be friends with. Right? Could you imagine sitting at a table with. Ty Lopez, grant Cardone, Gary V like, and again, this like hurts me a little internally to say it, but like that would just be a, it's so unauthentic, it's such a caricature of who these men were. And they're not that way when they go home and take their suit, coat off and, and spend time with their wife or their family. And if they are, I can't imagine being in that household. That would just be miserable . But the other ones that I would say, um, is Tony Robbins. Now, Tony Robbins is a difficult one again because he has these huge cult. Lake Fallings literally is a cult leader. But if you understand going into that, that's what he is. A lot of the stuff that he talks about is just positive psychology and like psychological hacks to become a better person. Now there's definitely a culty aspect to it, right? He, I'm pretty sure he got sued for. Burning the bottoms of people's feet by telling them to walk over a fire. Like I, I'm fairly positive that was a thing. People sued him because what they would do is they would, you would come to this event, you'd pay him $43,000, whatever the cost was, and then you would go to this event and there was supposed to be this life, life-changing thing. And then everybody rallies and you go outside and there's all these hot coals lined up outside of this event, and you're supposed to walk over them with your bare feet and just trust. Just trust me that your feet are gonna be fine if you believe they're gonna be fine. And these people's feet were not fine. They , they got the whole body. And I think what they did is they like sprayed it with water or like some type of, um, some type of solution. I don't know of what the mechanics or the science was behind this, but he burned these shit out of people and their feet and he got sued because of it. Um, so really culty stuff going on there. But if you listen to some of his courses and, and, and read some of the books, it's, it's a lot about. You know, finding, finding out in, in, you know, what is his, awaken the inner giant within you, right? And, and so there's some good elements to it as long as you escape away from the culty ish weirdness. And, you know, I'm pretty sure he was also accused of sexual assault at one point and some other questionable. Uh, positions. Um, I don't know, but that would be one person that I would say maybe if you were going to go down that road, there's some absolutely positive things that he teaches. I've been to his seminar, I've clapped along, you know, I've done the whole deal. Um, and I, and I think that there's absolutely some life-changing things that can happen. And like I said, if you spend $15 in a book and spend five hours reading it, and you get one single sentence that resonates with you, that improves your life for the better, great. More power to you. Read all the books that you want, but don't get sucked into these like culty weirdnesses, because it, it really starts to spiral quick, right? And so the other ones that I would say, um, I do like da, I think this is kind of an unrealistic, and again, it kind of gets back to that caricature kind of idea. But I do think that David Goggins is a positive one. He, uh, now if you don't know who David Goggins is, David Goggins was, uh, uh, apparently this, um, Went into Air Force was a, was a part of TAC P, which if you don't know anything about the military, TPE is, uh, basically they, um, help Colin, uh, airstrikes and, and things like that. And there's a, a special forces unit, but they're not the same as something like a PJ or Green Berets, or they're not, they're just not thought of in that same way. So David Goggins left the Air Force, got fat, started a, uh, started working in the extermination thing and was killing rats and stuff. And then realized he wanted to be a Navy seal and he was like 300 pounds. So he went and just ran like Forest Gump for 46 Day Street. I don't know, it was some, some ridiculous regiment that he put himself through to become a Navy seal. And in doing so, um, you know, he, he changed his life. He became an ultra-marathon runner. He's been on Joe Rogan a ton of times, which helped with his success. And, um, and, and he speaks a lot about. Grinding it out, right? Working your ass off. But he is one of those people that talks about waking up at 4:00 AM don't be a little bitch and, and just run until life's better. And there's an element of that, right? There's absolutely an element of that. But what one thing that a lot of these people aren't talking about is that most people aren't in the position to do these things in the same way, right? Some people have children, some people have spouses, some people have hobbies, some people have, you know, careers and things that they actually need to engage in, in a positive manner. And sometimes that doesn't have to do with, you know, lacing your shoes up and running 150 miles or whatever it is that David Goggins would tell you to do. Now, there's a ton of little bitches in this world, , there's, that does not take away from the fact that there is a lot of men out there who need this lesson, who are soft, who need to go and find something that's difficult and work through it. And as a result, on the other side of that, you will be a better man. That's a reality. That's the truth. And if you, if you sit in your house all day, sit on your computer and don't do anything that's actually physically difficult that you do not want to do, then you will not be as good of a person. You will not have as much energy, you will not have as much positivity, as much happiness, as much to give as to pour into other people's cups as you would if you deal with difficulty. Right? And this is one thing, you know, one thing I'll talk about with my little journey with that is I think I do jujitsu. Jujitsu's been a big part of my life. I think I have my white belt from way back a few years ago over there. Um, and I think Jiujitsu allows for that. Uh, superficial difficulty to be injected into your life because where people start to fall into depressions and anxiety in life is when you don't, you know, and especially when it comes to depression and anxiety, I think you have to, like, you have to recalibrate your system every so often, right? When, when you think that your, you know, talking to your boss causes you so much anxiety that you can't even speak or you're sweating before you go to work, or you just drag going to work every single day because it, it triggers your fight or flight response, you're going to, your life's gonna be more difficult. You're gonna be in that fight or flight response for, for, you know, in times where you don't want to be and when it's not helpful. And if you can recalibrate that system to realize that, oh, I'm not in danger, right? My fight or fight response does not need to go. At this time, because I'm just talking to my boss. I'm just presenting in front of a small audience. I'm just speaking, uh, to my spouse about something that bothers me. I, I think that when I've done jiu-jitsu, it's helped me recalibrate that fight or flight response to realize, oh, nobody's in this moment going to choke me out unconscious . And, and if they try to, I will at least be somewhat equipped to, to fight back. Right. And so to me that you have to find something. For me, it's, it's jiujitsu, right? For me, it's doing some yoga, doing some juujitsu. And those things help calibrate my system in a way to where life seems the, the, the difficulty that I place myself into seems much more difficult than the one that life throws at me, regardless of circumstance. Right? And if you can superficially interject that into your life, you're gonna be better off. . Right? And, and so, you know, I, I highly doubt you look at somebody like Grant Cardone or Gary V and they're actually doing difficult shit. So when you look at somebody who's in these like guru positions, these self-help positions, the first thing that I would tell you to do is look at who they were before they were trying to sell you a book. If all they've done is sold books about how to make money and made money off of selling books, then that's probably not the guy you wanna listen to, right? And that's when I go back to things like David Goggins. When I look at David Goggins and I look at his history and the things that he is done and the merit he has as a result of those things, that should be somebody you wanna listen to, right? Find, be, find a, you know, the, the greatest thing about today's world, right? You look at back at. All of the, um, you know, you look back in a hundred and fifty, two hundred, five hundred years ago, mentors were always a really big thing, right? You, especially as a man, right? As a man, you would find a, an older man who would teach you in, especially in like higher up parts of society and, you know, high income, uh, you know, even back in like Roman times, everybody would have a, like a mentor or a person that they would follow, um, or an apprenticeship or things like that. And the, the reason that that's important is because when you're 19 years old and you have no idea how to act in front of people, or you don't know how to actually engage with people or, or in with life in a positive manner, somebody can help teach you. Now what we find out is back in Roman times, it was a lot of times this weird kind of sexual thing going on there, , but the positive parts about today compared to a hundred years ago, 50 years ago, or 500 or 4,000 years ago, is in order to find these mentors in your life, you can find them online. It's like learning. You can literally go to YouTube and find the, the, the. Single best, I don't know, uh, coder to teach you how to write code, right? You can do that right now, and it's all free, right? In the same way that you, you can find you, you should absolutely find people who are, those you can, that you believe in, that you trust, that you look at their accolades and the things that they've done in life, and you can look at it and go, I would like to be more like that person, right? Whether it's, I want to be more like that person as a father, I follow some accounts that are like that for me, where like, I just see that they're just like crushing it with their kids, right? They're taking 'em, you know, out to do all the fun things and they're, they're being positive and, and maybe some of that's bullshit too, because it's in front of a camera for Instagram. But in general, you can kind of pick up on that and that, and that's what you'll see when it comes to the self-help stuff. All right? So find some mentors, but make sure they're people that you would actually want to follow and be friends with in real life. And look at their accolades prior to when they wrote this book that you are going to, you know, spend the money to consume. Cuz again, very likely there could just be full of shit , right? So let me go into, um, some of the books that I would recommend and I'll talk, touch on 'em a little bit and I'll even read some of the stuff that I've, I've brought out. So I have this big ass, uh, pile of books behind me. Um, or at least it was big till I cut it in half. So here are the ones that I would actually recommend that you read. Now, I talked about one, the very first one, which is Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. Now, I, I was very, I did, did not participate in much philosophy in my younger years. I was very much into like the self-help stuff. Um, but I think that there's far more, uh, Far more in the way of learning how to be a better person and learning how to live a life of fulfillment, not accomplishment. I think that fulfillment is the key, and by being fulfilled and finding yourself fulfilled in an industry that you have skills in, you will find yourself accomplished. You will find yourself to be successful. But if you put yourself, like, I, I, like I said, I hired a ton of people to come in and try and sell stuff, but they just weren't the right person for it. And, and they're not gonna find fulfillment in that if they're not good at it, right? It's difficult. And so if you can find something that you find fulfillment at, and also at the same time find a way to get better at that thing overall, it can sustain you and, and you can become very successful. But it's, it's more so about finding something that's fulfilling first and then moving into that thing, becoming something that you can be acknowledged for or become successful at. All. Right. So let's see if I can find any of my little passages here. From Marcus, Marcus Aurelius's meditations. Um, but most of it's a little bit more deep than anything that you would read from, I don't know, Tony Robbins. So , we'll see if I can actually just pick one up here. And, uh, you know, go, go cold off of this, off of some of my notes here. And you'll see here as I show you this, this book, um, when people say, my dog ate my homework, my dog literally ate the front cover off of my book, which I don't know, kind of makes it look cooler. I don't know. Looks weathered, maybe at least. Let's see. All right, I'll just read this first one. Let's see if it has anything to do with something that I would actually recommend. All right, so this comes from Marcus Aurelia's book two written among the quad on the river grande. Um, it says, uh, no think like this as if you were on the point of death. You are old. Don't then let this directing mind of yours be enslaved any longer. No more jerking to the strings of selfish impulse. No more disquiet at your present or suspicion of your future fate. Now I find that to be pretty powerful. Again, I just literally just turn to a page that's deeper and there's more to be, to, to, to look into and dive into personally in that one little thing than you're ever gonna find by diving into a Tony Robbins book right now. Just to kind of put a period on that, um, what, what I have here is like, I, if you did nothing else, but just implement that, right? If, if you did nothing else but learn that, you know, the, the directing mind, I talked about that monkey mind. Right. No longer, uh, let the directing minds of yours be enslaved. No jerking to the strings of selfish impulse. Right? Selfish impulses. Things like wanting to sleep in, right? Things like not wanting to sit down and be focused for an extended period of time to actually work towards a goal that you have, right? And that's, it talks about consistency, right? And, and no longer disquiet at your present or suspicion of your future fate that talks about anxiety and depression, right? Depression speaks on your past, anxiety speaks on your future, right? So just in that one little thing there, you can find so much to sit down and think about than you would ever find from a modern self-help book. And, and if you don't know anything about Marcus Aurelius's meditations, it's crazy. Marcus Aurelius basically had a notebook and, and he was the, the Emperor of Rome and was actually the, the father of the person who you may be familiar he's from the, uh, the movie Gladiator. If you watched the movie Gladiator. The, the actual guy who's in the emperor in Gladiator is based off of Marcus Aurelius's son. So again, even writing something as powerful as Marcus Aurelius's meditations still doesn't make you a great father because his son basically murdered a whole bunch of people and was a tyrant So if there's anything to learn about that, I don't know what it is there, but there's, there's some type of lesson there. Um, but Marcus Aurelius took around a notebook everywhere that he walked and he wrote down just these general one off little idea. And he never had the intention of it being published. He never had the intention of it being public to the general public's eye. He was just writing ideas to himself and, and giving himself clarity through journaling. And that's probably another side note, you know, things that's really positive that can come out of the community is journaling journaling's. Awesome. Highly recommend that you do it. I just have a terrible memory, so, you know, helps to write things down. , um, let's, let's see if there's anything else. Um, the acts of a man with an eye for precisely what needs to be done, not the glory of it's doing, right? There's just, there's so many little quick things in here that have such impact If you take the time to actually sit down and read it. Now, this isn't a book that you'll read like through and through, um, but it is one that you can open in the morning, write down, think about journal on, whatever that is, right? So that's Marcus Aurelius's meditations. And again, I have much more of a proclivity towards philosophy now than I do on hustle porn, right? So, let's see what else I got. Here's a, here's another one, atomic Habits, right by James Clear. This is one that I read recently. And again, this is about picking up skills, not about motivation for the moment, right? Realizing that consistency over the long term and developing habits is far, is worth far more than motivation. Motivation is always gonna be fleeting, right? Especially if you're, you're somebody who goes in ebbs and flows, or you live in, I don't know, a super cold area where it's snowing outside and you never see the sun. So you go through, you know, seasonal depressive disorders or whatever that's called. You know, there's going to be ebbs and flows in your life. There's gonna be shitty things that happen to you, and you're not gonna be motivated all the time. But what you can do is you can set yourself up with habits every single day that you do that give you a positive framework to live your life off of. So that's why I like Atomic Habits by James Clear, is it gives you a very concise way to build habits. It goes into the psychology of building positive habits. Not about hustle till you, your dick falls off or whatever. The other ones used to talk about . It's, it's more about building skills and, and realizing that everything that you want to accomplish is done in, in, in a very small decision. Consistently every day, multiple times a day, more than it is getting super excited and snorting a bunch of cocaine off of Ty Lopez's, Lamborghini, and then all of a sudden you're a millionaire , which is some people would have you believe, right? And so one of the things that I really like about, uh, James Clear's, uh, book, and let's see if I have it behind me, um, is he talks about how to make habits stick and how to get rid of old habits, right? And for some people when it comes to resolutions, maybe your resolution shouldn't be, I need to run 15 miles. Maybe it's you need to stop buying candy or alcohol or whatever bullshit you're consuming into your body seed oils, right? Maybe I need to stop killing myself before I decide I need to run 20 miles every day. Hmm. Maybe that's a good idea. Or maybe you should still drink whiskey. I don't know. Who am I, but a guy who likes whiskey. All right, so James, clear Atomic Habits is probably one of my, I would say top three. That would say would actually help you build a better future for your life, right? It's not hustle porn, it's not bullshit, it's not disingenuous. It's not something that you're gonna pick up and go run 30 miles about. It's gonna legitimately make your life better. And it doesn't perpetuate this idea that success comes off of, you know, uh, short-term sprints and bullshit speeches and motivations and paying 3,500 hours to go buy the next new course for the guru who's now your cult leader. , I think. And so James, clear Atomic Habits is a good one. I, I would say almost, I would say top two honestly, like this in Marcus Aurelius's, meditations are real life tools that will make you a better person, right? A better husband, a better father, um, a, a, a better, whatever it is that you want to do, it will make you a better person to be able to do it effectively, not just drive manic episodes in you. I dunno. Let's see what else I got here. Um, the next one, the War of Art. All right. The war of art is, and, and this is something that I think was a more of a paradigm shift for me, right? And again, I've read all of the, the hustle porn bullshit. This was a paradigm shift for me, right? When you talk about, and I, and I, I've spoken with my daughter kind of about this concept, but I think it's something I need to speak with more. She's young, I'm not gonna tell you her age, but she's young, right? And so, um, so there's times when my daughter does her sport and she's does very, very well at her sport. She does it with people who are like four, five years older than her because she's very, very good at it. But there's times when she doesn't want to go. And before I read this, and we get frustrated with her like, why don't you want to go? You love your sport. You love doing that. Why? Why would you ever be frustrated that we're gonna go out the door and you gotta get dressed to go and we have to do these things? Why would you get so frustrated about it? You love to do that thing. But then I realized I do that thing. , right? Even when I love doing jujitsu, I love doing my podcast, right? Even, and you'll see the last two, two and a half weeks, I didn't do my podcast because I was dealing with what the war of art would call resistance, right? I was dealing with internal bullshit in my life that was causing me to, to not sit down and do the work when I should do it, even though I love what I do. So it kind of made me have perspective in my life, especially as a parent, to know that even if my daughter doesn't want to go do her sport today, it doesn't mean she doesn't love her sport. It doesn't mean that I should stop paying an exorbitant amount of money . So she can do it. It means that she's dealing with resistance and teaching your child, teaching your partner, teaching yourself to identify what this book calls resistance, right? Doesn't, it doesn't mean that you hate that thing that you feel like you should do. It means that it's something that everybody goes through, right? And, and what's nice about this book is it's not something you have to read through and through. It's like literally just like. one off little paragraphs that you can read one a day or whatever, that helps you get over that. So this is a very, very good one, a very good tool, whether you're an artist, whether you, you know, whatever it is that you wanna become successful at getting over that resistance and just realizing that you can identify that for what it is, is a really, really important tool. And that is why the War of Art. All right, there's another one, and let's see what else I got here. Eckhart Toll tole to tole, whatever his name is. Now, another very famous one that he wrote was The Power of Now. Um, now this is, gets into the WOOWOO a little bit, but I like the Woowoo. If you know me by now, I like some of the woowoo. All right, so what this, this book talks about is the, the collective unconscious of our world. And, and it talks about that monkey mind consistently. It, it, it names it a little bit differently. Um, . And again, I like woowoo, so this little woowoo in this book, um, and in that cart toll in general. But I do think that this collective, um, collective, I forget the name that he calls it. I read this several years ago, but I, it's just stuck with me so much. Um, there's, uh, it talks about our inherited dysfunction, but it uses a specific word. Um, but a lot of the psychology based, right? A lot of it's based off of young Ian theory. A lot of it's based off of, um, you know, the idea of a, a collective unconscious and negative emotions, driving negative actions and, and how to become more self-aware. This, if this book right, we talked about self-awareness over self-motivation, self-improvement, self, whatever you want to call it, self-awareness. If you want to become self-aware, you want to realize that what is actually going on inside of your head and overcome it. The power of now or a new Earth, I haven't read a power of Now I have it upstairs, I'm gonna read it. Soon. But, um, a new Earth is an absolutely earth shattering book. If you are not somebody who has dove into meditation, yoga, uh, you know, internal dialogue, like the monkey mind, all of that conversation. If you're not somebody who's dealt with that before, I would highly, highly recommend you read this book. And again, tools for life, not bullshit, motivation, uh, hustle porn. All right. And then the last one, OG The Man, the Myth, the legend, Jordan Peterson. Right. Gotta give the credit. Worse Credit is Due. 12 Rules for Life is an amazing book. Incredible book. Um, and I think for every, you know, a lot of it's aimed towards, you know, he, he kind of speaks to young men in this, but I think it's just everybody in general, right? And, and you go by the rules, right? Stand up straight with your shoulders back. Just be confident, right? And, and it's not, it's not something that people generally are taught, like exude confidence, right? Like, Don't, don't, don't slouch. When you're in a room, don't give, give the idea, give yourself a, a sense of self importance, right? Like stand up straight with your shoulders back. And he talks about the actual physical psychology of that is when you know the, the, there's actual studies that were done in the amount of like testosterone produced in the body when somebody just literally stands upright when they're in a room as opposed to slouching down and kind of like being timid and shy. So rule one, treat, rule two, treat yourself like someone you were responsible for helping, right? And, and I think that's important. Generally, you're the last person that you take care of, right? If you're kind of like me, right? You're, you're, you're gonna convince five of your friends that they should go talk to a doctor or a therapist before you go seek that out yourself, regardless of the circumstances of what you're going through, right? So treating yourself like someone that you're responsible for helping was, I think that was a big paradigm shift for me in the way of like, how, not, not just medically, but emotionally and physically. Treat yourself as if you were somebody that you were responsible for helping. Um, make friends with people who want the best for you. Pretty straightforward. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday and not who someone else is today. And I think that talks about everything we've talked about today, right? That comparison, right? Comparing yourself next to Ty Lopez's, Lamborghini, and I'm sorry if I brought that up too much today, but it just drives me crazy. Don't compare yourself to other people. You came from a different family, different circumstances, different life, different career, different emotions. I don't know. Maybe you're, you had a bunch of concussions like me. I don't know. You, you went through your own set of stuff. Don't compare yourself to other people. And the, the old adage comparison is the thief of joy, right? There's absolutely something to that. Um, so if, if you learn to compare yourself to who you were yesterday and set up habits in the way that they're going to actually position you in a positive direction, moving towards the future, right? And I think that's a big, uh, uh, an overarching theme to making your life better is delayed gratification in almost every aspect. Delayed gratification, um, everything that you do, right? Whether it's money, finances, um, hobbies, right? And that's something that, again, Jiu-Jitsu's taught me a ton. Yeah, I, I, you can go into karate and be a black belt in two years, or you can go in and get your ass kicked for years after, years after years. And all of a sudden you're starting to kick people's asses too. But you gotta get your ass kicked first. And that's in almost every industry with every skill that you learn. Get your ass kicked and learn to get your ass kicked, right? Because when you do so, and you're confident in doing so and confid

My name is Austin Adams, and what I got for you today is going to be a little bit of a mix of, uh, Zelensky the Ukrainian president, uh, apparently winning time person of the year, which I think is interesting. Uh, then we're also going to discuss how he allegedly has ties to one of the top Valencia designers coming on the backs of the controversy surrounding children and the pictures that, you know, we touched on that for a little bit last time. So we will talk about that correlation here. Then we are going to jump into how a judge dismissed the lawsuit over Jamal Khashoggi murder. After specifically the Biden administration backed his immunity, uh, for the Saudi Crown Prince. Uh, then we will go into all things Twitter gait. Now, if you have not heard, and you may not have at this point, uh, Twitter gate is the release of files from Elon Musk outlining kind of what happened during the election cycle with Hunter Biden's laptop. If you recall, there was tons of censorship, tons of warnings, a whole bunch of shenanigans going on during the elections, uh, between Donald Trump and President Biden. Uh, so we will jump into all that, see what they had to say, see what the implications of that are. Uh, we will also talk a bit about, uh, what Elon Musk has talked about recently. Uh, he's currently being investigated over some stuff, uh, as a result of this Twitter gate. Some people. As a kind of pushback from the federal government for doing so. And he also said that he wanted to rightfully punch Kanye West in the mouth, , which we will talk about also. And, and I don't disagree with him because he's just been, okay, we'll, we'll, we'll talk about that first. Alright, but , but . But before I forget, go ahead and hit that subscribe button.

Thank you for listening and let's jump into it. Welcome to Red Pill Revolution. My name is Austin Adams. Red Pill Revolution started out with me realizing everything that I knew, everything that I believed, everything I interpret about my life is through the lens of the information I was spoonfed as a child. Religion, politics, history, conspiracies, Hollywood medicine, money, food, all of it. Everything we know was tactfully written to influence your decisions and your view on reality by those in power. I'm on a mission, a mission to retrain and reeducate myself to find the true reality of what is behind that curtain. And I'm taking your ass with me. Welcome to the Revolution, Ry. Let's jump into it. And I did say that we would talk about this first. So , I will do it and I should probably get it out of the way. Uh, if you recall, I have put out some videos. I have talked in depth about what was going on with Kanye West. So let's address this situation. Kanye West has since gone off the rails. I have not listened to the full Alex Jones interview, but there was about 15 minutes of highlights that I will save you from. Uh, but I will go listen to the full thing to see and get my real thoughts on this. But from the clips that I listen to and the context, which again, I don't have the full context of the things that he said, but it sounds a lot like. What people were accusing Kanye West of is true. Now, originally, originally, what Kanye West did was if you were not up to date on this situation, Kanye West was calling out industry elites. He was calling out specifically the owners of entertainment companies that own all of the athletes contracts, all of the musicians contracts, all of the, uh, famous people that you know, models all of them. And, and he was calling them out for giving unfair business practices and doing shady business deals. Now he was also calling them out for making him look crazy and, and all of this stuff too. Now, if you have any background on this, you know that there's definitely some truth to these things, right? You understand that there are elite individuals and, and some people hate the word elite, but it's the word that we got, sorry guys. Elite individuals, billionaires, trillionaires around the world who are owners of these large companies and, and they pedal influence socially and make people look terrible. They, you know, potentially Epstein people, all of that type of crazy stuff. So Kanye West came out and, and made a, a big huge podcast interview rounds with all of the larger podcasts that are out there, and he just stopped with info war. With Alex Jones. Now, I, I don't know why he thought Infowars was the place to do this, but he went wild on Infowars. He literally, word for word, said that he loves Hitler. And you, you saw Alex Jones try to like, backpedal him and say like, well, you don't love Hitler. You love the, because I guess they were talking about, you know, the, uh, if you didn't know that the Nazi uniforms were created by Hugo Boss. Interesting. Right? Uh, They were talking about that and Alex Jones go, well, you didn't love that. You loved their fashion. Right? You don't love Adolph Hitler. You love, you know, what, what their fashion was. And he goes, no, there's a lot of things about Nazis that I like. . He, he, I think even at one point he said, I love Nazis. Like all of the wrong things that you say in his position when people were already calling you antisemitic for, specifically pointing to the Jewish Cerian mafia out there that is allegedly controlling news media, controlling entertainment industries and, and calling people to at least pointing it out and trying to raise awareness surrounding what's happening here. And you know, in the same way that you talk about the Italian mafia, and you're not talking about Italian people, there's something to be said that you can speak about a group as an organiz. Due to their ties to one another, and have it not be specifically in a negative connotation about whatever it is that ties to them together. Right? You can have an organization like the Italian Mafia and say, I hate the Italian Mafia. I don't like what they stand for. They kill people. They're terrible people. The Italian Mafia is just a horrible, horrible organization. And then people come in and start going, oh, you're racist against Italians. It's like, no, I'm talking about the ones who kill people. And they just so happen to have. Ties personally to each other. That is the result of Lineage. And in this case it's lineage slash religion as Judaism is, uh, so, and Jewish individuals. So, so that's kind of the differentiation that I find myself in when we're talking about these things. There are absolutely an overwhelming majority of people who own entertainment industries and, and are a part of that elitist class who, who just so happen to be Jewish now. That's nothing against the Jewish race or Jewish class or religion or, uh, lineage. Nothing at all against that. They're just so happens to be that tie and when you call on that tie, not on the things that are actually related to that religion or lineage. Right? That that should not be an issue. So if you talk about the Italian mafia, the Italian mafia is bad. You talk about Jewish, uh, the, the, the Jewish Cerian Mafia, whatever, that some people coin the term, right? All of the people who have, you know, passed down the, the, uh, conspiracy bloodline type things, the George Soros is the Rockefellers, the, you know, go, the list goes on and on. But they all have some sort of ties and the portion of them just so happened to be Jewish, and that was what it seemed to be that what Kanye West was alluding to originally. Now, he went off the rails and just started spewing what is actually antisemitism to say that you support Nazis to say that you like Adolph Hitler in, in any way, shape or form. And like I said in the original one, there's nothing you can do to defend that, right? There's absolutely nothing right now. You can, I, I, I feel like in the same way that you can call it the Italian mafia, Not because they're Italian, but because they're a mafia . It's like where it really comes into play. But that's my 2 cents now. We'll jump into that more when we talk about Elon Musk wanting to punch Kanye in the face. But I did just wanna get outta that. The way I don't support Kanye West in this sense, I don't agree with him on that at all. I think what he said was obviously horrible and terrible and shouldn't be repeated. And in a world where we're only what one and a half generations removed from World War ii, barely one generation removed from World War ii, this is not what we want to spread right now. We should absolutely call out people who are disproportionately negatively affecting culture in society and, you know, social engineering in the, in the worst ways, which is obviously a very real thing in these elitist individual trillion, billion. But once you start calling an entire group based on their religion, ethnicity, lineage, that's obviously not a good thing. Don't do that. Right. So not on the Kanye, Kanye Western, uh, I, I jumped off. Um, but I do still agree with some of the things that he was calling out as far as the, uh, you know, entertainment industry preying on, you know, and then specifically, you know, was what he was saying was black individuals and, and people who are minorities and putting them into terrible contractual relationships, controlling the media, calling people crazy and making it real because they own every outlet that you could do it on. Right. Anyways, I digress. Let's move on to the next topic here, which is going to be that the president of Ukraine, president Zelensky, was named Times person of the year. You heard that right? President Zelensky was named Person's Time. Person's time of the Year, times person of the year. And this is just, I mean, I don't even know what to say. So this article comes from Forbes, . There's probably a couple other people who maybe deserve it. Now, obviously, he's dealing with a tremendous amount of pressure, a tremendous amount of stress, and in the public eye has handled it fairly well. Now, there's been tons of propaganda surrounding zelensky and the things that he said like, I don't need a ride. I need ammo. It's like, you know that maybe that didn't happen. This according to some sources, but let's read on this right here. Ukrainian President Voir Zelensky, was named Times person of the year for 2022 on Wednesday in recognition of his time as Ukrainians leader during Russia's invasion, as Ukrainian forces doubt their deepest attack on Russian soil this week. It talks about the key facts are the magazine emphasizes Zelensky decision to stay in Kiev at the start of Russia's invasion in February, noting how the former comedian became an immediate rallying cry for his country, at least. They call him what he is. A comedian, uh, Zelensky has held nightly speeches through social media and has continued to speak with the media, including his involvement during a recent New York Time summit, Aaron Judge who broke the single season American League record for home runs while winning the League's MVP award for the New York Yankees was named Athlete of the Year and timed named Black Pink, the Entertainer of the Year. Not even sure who that person is. Hmm. Right. Here's a quote that they call out here, which is that already the next generation of Ukrainians, like Zelensky own son, were learning about the tools of war. Instead of planning for prosperity, the magazine wrote about Zelensky wartime leadership. That is the pattern the president aims to disrupt, and his plans rely more than, relies more on weapons, relies on more than weapons, sorry. All right. Now, uh, this says key background talking about Adolph Hitler. Uh, the time person of the year categorically has historically been associated with people who have been most influential during this year, ranging from previous title holders like Greta Thornberg and Pope Francis, two, Vladimir Putin and Adolph Hitler. Thank you Forbes for calling it as it is. Just because you get Times person of the year does not mean that you are an incredible individual. As a reminder, a Dolf, Hitler and Vladimir Putin himself have both been called persons. F times person of the year. So both Putin and Hitler have been Times person of the year. So take this with a grain of salt is he Times person of the year. Again, he's dealt with tremendous amounts of stress and, and in the public eye he's dealt with it well. There is such a reminder that should be made as he's an actor comedian to begin with, who loves to dance in leather pants. But again, I can't, I can't imagine the amount of stress on these people. So, you know, take my commentary for what it is, but I just find it comical that a literal comedian and actor turned president turned puppet for NATO is Times person of the year. Like the, I really am not immediately coming up with answers as to who this should have been, , um, but maybe, maybe Elon Musk, if he's never been it, I, I would say he's probably had a tremendous impact, um, maybe even more so than Zelensky being a puppet for nato. And, uh, You know, coming up with comedic gold dancing videos in leather pants. Anyways, all right, so the next thing is going to be that we're gonna discuss here is going to be that Zelensky tapped top Valencia designer to oversee charity for Ukrainian refugees. So the same guy who got called Times person of the year was calling on a top Valencia designer to oversee the charity for Ukrainian refugees. You know, the Valencia that was actively engaging in endorsing pedophilia was the one that the president of Ukraine called on to head charities for Ukrainian refugees. You literally cannot make that up. That is a crazy correlation. Causation, who knows? But correlation nonetheless, that Zelensky is working with a top Balenciaga designer. Especially when we're talking about the recent news and all of the things that just came out about Valencia with their satanic pedophilia based ad campaigns all over. Right. And we're finding it that I'm, one thing I'm really happy about with the Valencia thing, and I guess happy isn't the right word, but it, but it, it's relieving to know that these things are still in the public conversation. They're still being, uh, pushed towards good. Right? Because the more people that wake up to this stuff, the more that it becomes a conspiracy theorist that, that these things are going on, uh, or a conspiracy theory that these things are going on, the more that it gets a negative light shut on it. But what the negative light should be shut on is Valencia not the people calling them out for doing, for endorsing pedophilia. The, the, the light should be shed on Zelensky for paying a topia designer to oversee a charity, which is very likely for children, refugees in Ukraine. Probably not the person that you would want to do that with. Uh, so let's read this real quick and see what it has to say. It says, UK Ukraine. Ukrainian President, Zelensky over the summer had recruited top fashion brand, Valencia's creative director to oversee a charity supporting Ukrainian refugees, United 24, which builds itself as a charity, aimed at rebuilding Ukraine and helping refugees claimed in July that Valencia's artistic director, DEMA, who only goes by his first name, would become the organization's ambassador, Demna artistic director for Valencia, selected as ambassador for United 24. He will be exclusively dedicated to rebuild Ukraine, direction for helping refugees. The charity tweeted, which included a link to its website. Now, if I call re, if I recall correctly, Demna was in a big piece of this all, a big piece of it. Now it goes on to say that the humanitarian rebuild Ukrainian direction focuses exclusively on the renovation of critical infrastructure facilities such as roads, bridges, hospitals, and schools to enable refugees to come back to their homes and restart their lives. This came before Valencia was recently embroiled in a scandal over its disturbing ad campaigns, overseen by Denmark, specifically featuring children holding teddy bears in BDSM outfits in a hidden Supreme Court document over to turning a child pornography law. So Zelensky literally hired the person who is the head of directing the Valencia campaigns or surrounding pedophilia to run a refugee program out of Ukraine. There's no way that that's not in some way, shape, or form tied the fact that that comes up and immediately this becomes a conversation. There's no way these things don't have at least a, a, a thin string of yarn connecting them. Says Valencia has since scrubbed its social media presence before issuing numerous apologies after weeks of silence. Demos last, uh, week issued an apology for incorporating a child in BDSM and a cult themed Valencia, a campaign that erupted into a full fledged scandal that culminated with former fans burning Valencia merchandise in protests of its pedophilia. Themes. Themes. This was his response. I want to personally apologize for the wrong artistic choice of concept for the gifting campaign with the kids. And I take my responsibility. It was inappropriate to have kids promote objects that had nothing to do with them. The 41 year old wrote on Instagram, I apologize to anyone offended by the visuals in Balenciaga has guaranteed that adequate measures will be taken not only to avoid similar mistakes in the future. Geez, I hope so. But also to take accountability in protecting child welfare in every way we. Including likely abducting Ukrainian refugees? Oh, allegedly. Speaking of a cultism, in some bizarre new iteration of asymmetric warfare, Ukrainian's Ministry of Defense announced Monday I had recruited actual witches to cast hexes and curses on Russian soldiers. What, what , okay, let's read that one. That's interesting. It says, notably, Ukraine has also been leveraging the openly neo-Nazi as of battalion who's been captured on video conducting pagan blood and soil rituals. What's with Ukraine's ties to the ult? The creation of the charity is curious given, uh, Ukraine's already received tens of billions of dollars from US taxpayers to prop up its war against Russia and launder money Back to Democratic campaigns. Where did all that money go? Uh, and here's the Instagram post that's posted by the defense of Ukraine, which is defense you at on Twitter. It says, render unto God that which belongs to God, and unto the enemy that witches of the enemy beware enemy, you'll get what the witch wants. Volunteers dressed as witches, sending love to our soldiers in the opposite of our enemy, the opposite to our enemy. Wow. What a interesting choice to post on your website. Okay. That's pretty wild. Now, there is like all of the occultism that's going on, all of the, the, the subtweeting of Satanic rituals and, and all of the elitist propaganda that's coming out, trying to portray people who call this out conspiracy theorists and all of this stuff. It's so unbelievable because of how many times it's been rubbed in our face and how many times it's been proven correct. Right. You look at Epstein, you look at Valencia, you look at all of these situations, all of the, the, the Harvey Weinsteins, the, the Bill Clinton, uh, logs to the White House with Epstein there, all of the ties, all of them. And, and it's literally just shoved in your face. And if you deny that there's a, a theme amongst ultra billionaire, rich, elite social groups and sat. Rituals and pedophilia at this point. You are just so naive. It's unbelievable, and you should likely do a lot of research into it because this is something that, while it's easier not to pay attention to, it's easier to not have to formulate an opinion and talk about consistently. It's not helpful to ignore because what if that was your child, right? What? What if that was your child? Even just talk about the Balenciaga campaign. Even if that was just your child in that photograph, your child now for the rest of their life, the rest of their life is now going to at least personally identify with that being that person that was in that, or other people are gonna notice who they are, right? And I hope those parents of the children in the Balenciaga campaigns sue the absolute. Hell outta Valencia and get as much money as possible for positioning their children in the way that they're taken advantage of for these sexualized Satanic ad campaigns. So who would've thought that Zelensky would've hired the same person that was in charge of the Valencia ad campaigns to run a refugee charity, which involved children? That just seems like the literal, worst idea in the world. And, and again, it just talks about the strings that are tied between everything that is going on and these very high up societal, political things that are going on, and it should terrify you. So the next thing, now this, what we're about to discuss is about, uh, Jamal Khashoggi. Now, if you do not know about the situation, it is a atrocity. The man was a journalist. Um, Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist from, uh, I believe Saudi Arabia. Let me go ahead and read it through it here. Um, but I, but I watched this whole documentary on what happened here and what actually occurred. And the reality of it is, is, again, just, just horrifying. So let's, let's actually listen to this. Let's, there's a, a little trailer from the actual movie that I have up here that should explain some of this for you here. So here we. My name is Ha Genius. I am addressing you as a victim. A title forced on me After the brutal murder of my Jamal Jamal Khai, prominent Saudi journalist in Washington Post columnist, has gone missing. After visiting his country's consulate in Istan, he was last entering Saudi Arabia's consulate, taking paperwork to marry his fiance. His fiance saw him go in at 1:00 PM and was still waiting for him at 1:00 AM. Moha, tell me what happened to Mr. Khashoggi Saudi Arabia. Now suddenly there's admitting that Haggi did die. Die Inside that building, Jamal K he's saying that he was killed and, and greeted me. As if I shut the king. We knew that they would try to sweep the whole thing under direct. Is it true that Turkish intelligence obtained audio recordings to show he's murder? I know why Jamal was killed. It's because of me. And here, just so I can read it to you, it says someone may have easily watched everything that went on. So they're talking about there being cameras inside of the building in which he was the consulate in which he was murdered. We've been given orders. He saved some, particularly down in peace of the puzzle, like Saudi body. Double Jamal filled the whole country was against him of this another truth. I said, the best solution is create our own priority. The king firmly denied any knowledge of it. It could have been rogue killers. Who knows? I just received this. Be careful. Move from city to another one and there's a team is going to kill you soon. It's anonymous. He has to be killed in a way that will send message to everyone else because if you kill Jamal is Pepper. Who else you cannot kill? You can't kill everyone. All right, so there's the trailer coming from that movie I highly recommend. You should see it. It's called The Dissident, and I believe I watched it on one of the mainstreaming platforms. So it's called The Dissident, and you should absolutely watch it. It it gives you some really crazy insight to this situation. He was basically went into this consulate and he, he was a high, um, called out the government a lot, fairly consistently for what was going on. I believe I even did a bit of a podcast episode on it. Uh, so I would definitely recommend going back and seeing him when that it was, but The Dissident was a tremendous documentary that outlined this very well, and he went into the consulate and was basically from the evidence that they gathered in this documentary, was beheaded and murdered in front of some type of like webcam where the crown princes. Was allegedly giving orders on what to do and how to kill him. And so this is just to preempt what happened here, because what ended up happening this week, yesterday, I believe, yeah, yesterday, was that the Biden administration backed immunity for Muhammad bin Solomon, who's the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. So the president of the United States called on this man the Crown Prince of Mohamed bin Solomon to gain immunity for doing this. And it came true. A judge dismissed a suit against in connection to Jamal Khashoggi death. The suit was filed by Khashoggi fiance who accused MBS of ordering his death to silence him. Khashoggi was murdered after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October of 2018. The US federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit against, uh, Saudi Crown Prince, uh, Mohammad bin Solomon over the brutal murder of Washington Post journalist and Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi. The decision came just weeks after the Biden administration contended with the Saudi ruler, often referred to as MBS should be granted immunity. Judge John Bates, in opinion, said that despite the court's uneasiness and the credible allegations of his involvement in Khashoggi, killing the US has informed the court that he is immune. So MBS is therefore entitled to head of state immunity. Wow. So you can literally get immunity from murdering somebody on outside consulate territory for being a part of a political party in a different country. Ever heard of Crimes against You, man? I mean, this is just ho like what kind of precedence does this set for? And this was a New York, what was it? A New York, um, what was, where was he affiliation? I just said it. New York Times or, or, uh, New York Post. The New York Post journalist. So a, a very well known Washington Post journalist. Um, sorry. And he was murdered horrifically in a consulate and we're just gonna do nothing and even throw out the case based on the, a Biden administration saying that he should not be charged with this. Khashoggi disappeared after visiting the Saudi Consulate in this damn bull in 2018 to obtain documents related to his upcoming marriage. It was later revealed that a group of Saudi Abs agents ambushed him inside the consulate, strangling him before dismembering and disposing of his body. The following month, the CIA concluded that MBS ordered Khashoggi killing. So the CIA literally came out and said that he did this. And then the Biden administration came out and said, nah, we don't care. He's immune. You can literally be head and murder people in any consulate you want, as long as you have enough money in the bank or enough power. Says that a declassified intelligence report released that by the Biden administration last year explicitly implicated MBS and Khashoggi killing. We assessed that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad bin Solomon approved in operation in Istanbul Turkey to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi MBS has denied that he ordered the, uh, Khashoggi killing. The lawsuit was filed two years after Khashoggi death by his fiance, Hadis Singes, and accused MBS of ordering the Saudi journalist's death in order to silence him. So imagine being her, you literally have a husband who speaks up and speaks out against these horrific acts by the Saudi princes, by, by the Saudi government. He goes into a consulate and is literally murdered, beheaded, horrifically, strangled to death. And then the CIA comes out and says that he, the mbs, the crown or the Saudi crown Prince was at fault for this. The CIA said that. And then Biden then grants him immunity. Imagine being that woman and imagine feeling like the whole world is against you. Cause what stops them from just murdering her? Now why would they not do that if they're immune from everything that can go on and every, uh, uh, outcome that, that can be? Why would you not just, you know, murder all of your, your political opponents? What, what type of precedent does this set? Cuz that, that's, that's a terrifying thought. Let's see if there's anything else in here. Um, she tweeted, we thought maybe there would be a light to justice from the usa. Jamal died again today. She said, wow. So, uh, president Biden has faced widespread backlash over his approach to US Saudi relations on the campaign trail. Biden pledged to make the oil rich kingdom a pariah over Khashoggi murder. When he came into office, Biden vowed to recalibrate the relationship between Washington and rta, including by ending US support for the Saudi Lake Coalition. The devastating Yemen war MBS is considered the architect of the war, which has for fostered what's been described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Hmm, interesting. Wow. It literally got away with murder in this case, and it was because of Biden's immunity. So now there's what we got on that front. Now we're going to move into the Twitter files, but before I do that, what I'm gonna do first is ask that you please. Hit that subscribe button. Takes two seconds, and then you can join us every single week for conversations like this, updates on current events, uh, things that are happening around the world, things that I wanna talk about, and then also upcoming interviews that we're gonna be doing, talking about, uh, questioning narratives that have been giving to us societal structures and, and all of those things that we've talked about before.

And I would appreciate it so much. All right. Put a lot of work into this and I appreciate your support more than, you know. It really helps to keep me going, so, alright, let's move on. The next thing that we're going to be discussing here is going to be the Twitter files. So this is being, uh, being, this has been called Twitter gate and it is essentially, uh, Elon Musk has come out and released the files, all of the internal documents and communications surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop. Again, if you recall the Washington Post, speaking about the Washington Post released information and released all of the files surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop, calling on the corruption, calling on the weird sexual escapades drug conversations, the, uh, business dealings happening in Ukraine of all places. Who would've thought, uh, in all of these other things that were going on, and China and all of them. So they released that information. Twitter went ahead, and as soon as this started to spread like wildfire, Twitter, shut it down. They made sure that nobody was going to be able to see these, these types of, uh, conversations. They tried to, they literally, like, I'm pretty sure they, they suspended the Washington Post for posting it. It was all under the guise of hacked materials. Even though the laptop was legally obtained, nobody's ever been arrested. Nobody hacked it at all. It was owned by the computer repair shop that Hunter Biden dropped his laptop off that. And so there was all this internal dialogue, all of these internal, you know, emails and things that were going across, uh, different departments within Twitter and Elon released it all, released it all. And there were some really, really interesting things that happened within these conversations. Some things that we will go over and we'll go basically step by step, line by line on every single tweet, um, and just kind of see if there's anything that we see. So this was a released by Matt Taibi, which is at M T A I B B I on Twitter. And Matt Taibi is one of the favorite journalists of many, many people today. He's an independent journalist who has a sub stack, uh, that has a lot of good UpToDate materials, is one of the places where I like to get a lot of my news from. He's a tremendous journalist and was trusted by Elon Musk to release these in a way that was, uh, and he is probably one of the most trusted known journalists today, so it was very smart of them to do that. So it starts by saying thread. Number one, the Twitter files. And I'm going to go ahead and sip this. What is it? Um, French Toast, I forget. It's by founders, uh, French Toast Bastard by Founders. It's a vanilla cinnamon maple beer, which tastes like cinnamon Toast Crunch. It's delicious. So if you see it around you, it's pretty good. Try it out and, oh, I didn't even take a sip. Here we go. Cheers to you. All right, so number one, the thread says the Twitter files, and it just goes line by line. And he goes kind of like sentence by sentence on this. So he says, what you're about to read is the first installment in a series based upon thousands of internal documents obtained by sources at Twitter, the Twitter files tell an incredible story from inside one of the world's largest and most influential social media platforms. It is a Frankenstein tale of a human built mechanism grown out of the control of its designer. Twitter and its conception was a brilliant tool for enabling instant mass communication, making a true, real time global conversation possible for the first time. In an early conception, Twitter was more Twitter, more than lived up to its mission statement, giving people the power to create and share ideas and information instantly without barriers. As time progressed, however, the company was slowly forced to add these barriers. Some of the first tools for controlling speech were designed to combat the likes of spam and financial fraudsters. Slowly over time, Twitter staff and executives began to find more and more uses for these tools. Outsiders began petitioning the company to manipulate speech as well, first a little then more often than constantly. By 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another. More to review from the Biden team. The reply would come back handled. So what this is showing here is an email coming from the Biden administration calling on spec, specific tweets, specific tweets for them to be taken down and not handled, not, we've looked into this, not we're gonna check it out and see if it violates our guidelines handled. Now, that's an important distinction in the way that we're looking at this, because handled means I did your bidding, not, I did what was under our guidelines. And I think that's an important call out to make here, is that it's not about them following their own guidelines. Now, I think that in almost every situation, besides maybe the one where Kanye is gonna get punched in the face by Elon. Elon, metaphorically for posting a swastika, which we'll talk about next. Almost all free speech should be allowed in almost all settings, right? And, and even at swastika, you just show that you're a piece of shit by posting it. So maybe people should know that you're a piece of shit, not that, you know, maybe we shouldn't hide your stupidity from everyone. Maybe we should show everybody how dumb you are by allowing it to be up there. But that's a separate conversation. So, um, handled is an important term, not we're gonna look into this, not we're gonna check it out, no handled. We did it, we did it for you because you sent it to us. Now it goes on to say the celebrities and unknowns alike could be removed or reviewed at the behest of a political party. Now this email is, uh, starts off by saying, I grabbed the first one under si deferred to safety on the high profile. Second one, the high profile, second one being real. James Woods, the first one being Stephan Luan. Um, but what that's saying is it wasn't just regular everyday people, it was celebrities too. It goes on to say that both parties had access to these tools. For instance, in 2020 requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored. However, the system wasn't balanced. It was based on contacts. Because Twitter was and is overwhelmingly staffed by people of one political orientation. There were more channels, more ways to complain open to the left than the right, and it shows that 99.7% of all contributions to political parties within this company went to the Democratic Party, which is no surprise with it being in Silicon Valley. Then it goes on to say the resulting slant in content moderation decisions is visible through the documents that you were about to read. However, it's also the assessment of multiple current and former high level executives. Now he goes on to say that the Twitter file is part one. How and why Twitter blocked the Hunter Biden laptop story. It says On October 14th, 2020, the New York Post published, gosh, I got it mixed up again. It was the, I thought it was the was. It was the New York Post, not the Washington Post that did it published Biden Secret emails and the expose based on the contents of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop. Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be unsafe. They then even blocked its transmission via direct message. A tool here to reserved for extreme cases such as child pornography, white House spokesperson, Kayley Mc McNay. Was locked out of her account for tweeting about the story. Prompting a furious letter from Trump campaign staffer Mike Hahn, who see it to at least pretend to care for the next 20. So this email is from one of the heads of the Trump campaign and says Kaylee McNaney has been locked out from her account for simply talking about the New York Post story. All she did was cite the story on firsthand reporting that has been reported by other outlets and not disputed by the Biden campaign. I didn't answer immediately on when and how she will be unblocked. I also don't appreciate how anybody on this team called me regarding the news, how nobody on the team called me regarding this news that you'll be censoring news articles. Like I said, at least pretend to care for the next 20 days. This led to public policy executive Carolyn Strom to send out a polite WTF query. Several employees noted that there was tension between the comms and policy teams who had little less control over moderation and the safety and trust teams. And the email there said, hi team. Are you able to take a look closer here? Thank you. STRs note returned the answer that the laptop story had been removed for violations of the company's hack materials policy. And that's kind of the thing that you see even in these. Emails that they, they knew it was bullshit. They knew the hacked material stuff was bullshit. They didn't, they knew it wasn't gonna stick. They even talked about it. And we'll look at that here in just a second. But they talked about how is this even something that we can legally stand by when? And if it comes to that, because they knew that it was bs. And so they said, oh, it's about the hack materials policy, even though they had no reason to believe that it was hacked materials at all. And here's the next one, says, although several sources recalling hearing about a general warning from federal law enforcement that summer about possible foreign hacks, there's no evidence that I've seen of any government involvement in the laptop story. In fact, that might have been the problem. Now, what is a, what a they're kind of, Matt is discussing here is the fact that CEO of mea, mark Zuckerberg went on Joe Rogan and said that the FBI specifically called on him to. Keep an eye out for Russian disinformation specifically about the Hunter Biden laptop story, if I'm recalling correctly. And so there was a lot of backlash surrounding that. Probably not nearly enough as there should be about the FBI weaponizing its political ties and corporate ties to help sway the election. But nonetheless, they did it. And so this goes on to say, although several sources were called hearing about a general warning, right? Then we just read that the decision was made by the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey, but with former legal head of or former head of Legal Policy and trust, Vijaya Gad playing a key role. Now also, if you recall, Vijaya went onto Joe Rogan with. Or I'm with Jack Dorsey. Jack Dorsey went on Joe Rogan, but brought a, the head of legal of his team to discuss this all because she was the one that made these decisions. Right. And everybody's kind of pointed the finger at Jack Dorsey, but a lot of people have come to Jack Dorsey's defense. Apparently a lot of this Jack Dorsey didn't know anything about, which becomes a bigger issue when you're, you know, a large corporation controlling the flow of information and conversation surrounding the whole world, but specifically from the standpoint of one political ideology in one country. Right? That seems to be a big issue here, especially when it comes to the tech world. The tech world is overwhelmed by liberal ideology and not just like your buddy who is a supporter of, uh, democratic belief systems. Uh, the healthcare system and abortion, not just like your but but far left individuals in one of the most liberal places in the world. A an extremist ideology in many senses. Just as much as there is an extremist ideology on the very far. Right. Right. So it's like, I wouldn't want either of those sides to control the political conversations that are happening or even the regular conversations because they're going to want to skew it in the way that benefits their ideology. And that's not a good thing for humanity. There should always be checks and balances, right? There's literally nothing good about the two party system. But if I had to say something good about it is that it balances each other right there. There, there's a checks and balances in the way that half of the country agrees with this, and half of the country agrees with that. And so maybe decisions aren't made as hastily and as once it comes to extreme ideology, you're gonna have a lot of pushback from at least half of the. Right. So anyways, it goes on to say that, uh, quote, they just freelanced it is how one former employee characterized the decision hacking was this excuse. But within a few hours, pretty much everyone realized that that wasn't going to hold, but no one had the guts to reverse it. You can see the confusion in the following length, the exchange, which ends up including GAD and former Trust and Safety Chief UL Roth Comms Official. Trent Kennedy writes, I'm struggling to understand the policy basis for marking this as unsafe. So he goes into and is a little irritated by this. So let's read the whole thing and it says Trent and Kennedy. I'm struggling to understand the policy basis for marking this unsafe. And I think the best explainability argument for this externally would be that we're waiting to understand if the story is the result of hack materials. We'll face hard questions on this if we don't have some kind of solid reasoning for marking the link Unsafe. Yeah, as you should, right? So, Next, the one says, by this point, everyone knew that this was fucked, says one former employee, quote . But the response was essentially to air on the side of continuing to air. Um, so here it says, this is the email from UL Roth, the policy basis attack materials. Though as discussed, this is an emerging situation where the facts remained unclear. Given the severe risks here in lessons of 2016, we're airing on the side of including a warning in preventing this content from being amplified. Uh, VJA, what is the warning that will come up? You? Well, when you click the link, you'll see the generic unsafe URL message. Not ideal, but it's the one thing that we have. And then Ian said, whatever we do in the coms, this will become a bias claim for Jack pre-hearing immediately. Let's make it clear we're proactively be cautiously interpret, interpreting this through the lens of our hacked materials policy, and allowing the link with the warning and significant reduction of spread. Uh, then this is where the really big question comes up and it comes from the VP of Global Comms and he says to Ian's point, can we truthfully claim that this is a part of the policy as a part of our approach to addressing potentially hacked materials? We are limiting visibility of related stories on Twitter while our investigation is ongoing. Can we actually do this? Like, are we gonna get, is this legal grounds that we don't wanna find ourselves in? Right. And it goes on to say to which former Deputy general counsel, Jim Bak, again, seems to advise staying the, uh, non course because caution is warranted. If fundamental problem with the tech community in content moderation. Many people in charge of speech know care little about speech and have been told, or have been, have to be told the basics by outsiders. And that was coming from Matt Tay. Uh, yeah. It goes on to talk about the Bill of Rights. Somebody calls out, um, that they were worried about, that kind tries to reroute the conversation to the First Amendment mentioned, which is generally hard to find in the files. Uh, and they were concerned about Section two 30, right? Section two 30 was the, um, legislation that was to be passed that would make the companies liable for news that they're spreading or not spreading. Uh, so that starts to frame the conversation a little bit more from their concern. They're not actually concerned with doing something wrong. They're concerned about it coming back on them politically. So within a day, the head of policy lowering Culbertson receives a gly letter from Carl sbo, which had already pulled 12 members of Congress, nine and three, nine Republicans, and three Democrats from the House of Judiciary Committees. And basically none of them were happy about the fact that they curtailed this story. Uh, not choice. Lets Twitter know a blood bath awaits an upcoming hill hearings. Em, uh, with members saying it's a tipping point, complaining tech has grown so big that they can't even regulate themselves. So government may need to intervene. Yeah. You think, uh, it says that when asked just how bad the situation is, one staffer said it's text access Hollywood moment and it has no Hillary to hide behind. Others. Were more blunt tech is screwed and rightfully so. Yeah. So it's like interesting to see that there was actually some conversations going on by employees saying that this isn't right. Right. Um, and then they even literally said that the First Amendment isn't absolutely like Yes. Yes it is. That's how the constitution works. Uh, and this is from SAS's letter containing chilling messages, relaying democratic lawmaker's attitudes. They want more moderation. And as for the Bill of Rights, it's not absolute with said, Uh, so there are multiple instances in the files of Dorsey intervening to question suspensions and other moderation act actions for accounts across the political spectrum. So some people have called this whole thing like, kind of like a nothing situation that it's not gonna have any big, huge public crowd cries. But I think this, if this does nothing but instill trust in Elon Musk's Twitter, that's a good thing, right? If, if he's willing to open up their books and, and open source all of the conversations that were be being had within this company, I think that's a positive thing for Twitter overall. I think that's a powerful thing for, you know, free speech overall. Um, I truly do believe that he did the right thing here and, and, and he didn't have to do this honestly. He, like was the one that called on this to happen. Um, Matt Taibi goes on to say it's been a whirlwind of a 96 hours for me too. There's so much more to come, including answers to questions about issues like shadow banning, boosting follower accounts, the fate of various individual accounts and more. These issues are not limited to the political right, and he says goodnight. Um, so there is a part two to this, which came up yesterday, and this is supplemental Twitter files. It says on Friday the first installment of Twitter files was published. Here we expect to publish more over the weekend. Many wondered why there was a delay. We can now tell you part of the reason why on Tuesday, Twitter, deputy General Counsel and former FBI General counsel, Jim Baker, was fired. Wow. Among the reasons, fighting the first batch of Twitter files without knowledge of new. The process for producing the Twitter files involve delivery to two journalists, Barry Weiss and me, via a lawyer close to new management. However, after the initial batch, things came, became complicated over the way. Over the weekend while we both dealt with obstacles to new searches, it was Barry Weiss who discovered that the person in charge of releasing the files was someone named Jim. When she called to ask Jim's last name, the answer came back. Jim Baker, my jaw. Hit the floor. It says Weiss. The first batch of files both, uh, both, both reporters received was Mark Spectra Baker emails. Uh, and then it goes on to say that, let's see if we can go back. Bakker is a controversial figure. He was spend something of a zeek of FBI controversies dating back to 2006 from the Steele dossier to the Alpha Server mess. He resigned in 2018 after an investigation into the. To the press the news that B was reviewing the Twitter files surprised everyone involved to say the least. New Twitter Chief Elon Musk acted quickly to exit Baker Tuesday. Reporters assumed searches through the Twitter files material. Oh, reporters resumed searches through the Twitter file materials. A lot of it today, the next installment will appear, uh uh, through Barry Weiss. Stay tuned. Now let's see if Barry Weiss has posted it, but it does not seem to be, so, yeah. All right. So yeah, and then that's the, that's the thing with this is like some people are like, oh, why are we still care? Like, right. The rights obsession with Hunter Biden was an article that I saw in Weis, right, is like the weird obsession with Hunter Biden. You know, the son of the current president of the United States who did shady business deals, peddling his father's influence to foreign countries and adversaries for profit. Along with what seemed to be sexual or exploitation of prostitutes, an ungodly amount of crack cocaine being consumed through a meth pipe. , uh, what else? Um, underage girls in, in foreign countries allegedly, uh, tear, terrible, disgusting pictures of him naked. Uh, all of these things, like why wouldn't people, the fact that people still aren't talking about that is more wild than the fact that people are, and the fact that it was like completely shut down, like they. Achieved what they wanted to. They, they, they exceeded all expectations on this by going ahead and making sure that nobody got to really see this. It didn't become a public conversation that changed much of anything. Everybody knows about this, but nobody's talking about it. I've done multiple, multiple deep dives into the Hunger Biden laptop. Uh, one episode specifically was a deep, deep dive into it. The emails, the pictures, the, uh, drugs, the prostitution, his dad, all of this stuff, even the Diary of Ashley, all of that stuff. I've done a whole podcast on it. So go back and listen to that. It's so wild. If you need to refresh your memory on how fucking crazy that whole thing was, go back and listen to that podcast because it, it is just mind boggling that this is not a more consistent conversation and that people aren't still freaking out about it. And I'm glad, again, I'm glad this is a consistent, now bringing this back up, but. It's still concerning, right? That it, that it has not changed anything. Hunter Biden's still out there walking. He, he hasn't been charged with, with Ping his father's influence Hunter. But Joe Biden's still the president of the United States, even though he was doing shady business deals with Ukrainian energy companies, two years before they were inverted by Russia. Shady business deals with China, right? You remember the China Joe, China Joe, like, I need to work on my Donald Trump. But, uh, but you remember all that, right? But if you don't, and if you need a refresher, go back and listen to that podcast, uh, because it is, it, it, it's truly should be a far bigger conversation than it actually has been. All right. Um, let's see if there's anything else that are here for us. Okay. Let's move on to. Um, and this is going to be the, that Elon Musk. Since this happened, since releasing these articles and releasing all of the communications through Twitter, Elon Musk says that he is at risk of being assassinated, assassinated as a result of everything that's been going on. So, Twitter CEO Elon Musk has declared his risk of assassination is quite significant in a ranging, uh, new chat. So let's see if we can maybe get some audio on this and give you guys a little bit of this, this story here. And here we come on. It's loading. Go. The risk of something bad happening to me of even literally being shot is quite, uh, sign. I'm definitely not gonna be, you know, doing any open air car parades, any open air car parades. What is he alluding there to? Hmm. Right. Maybe the, the, the JFK assassination. Right. Uh, wow, that's, that's a cool, a good little, uh, sub sub conversation subtweet, if I may, surrounding that , uh, Elon Musk has claimed that his risk of assassination is quite significant and the ranging, uh, two hour q and a audio chat on Twitter spaces, the social media platform CEO told listeners he definitely would not be doing any open air car parades. Let me put it that way. Frankly, the risk of something bad happen to me, or even leg or even literally being shot is quite significant. It's not that hard to kill somebody if you wanted to. So hopefully they don't. And fate smiles upon the situation with me, and it does not happen. There's definitely some risk there. The Tesla CEO in world's richest man, they self-proclaimed free speech, absolute added that at the end of the day, we just want to have a future where we're not oppressed. Yeah, that's a good future. Um, our speech is not suppressed, and we can say that what we want to say without fear of appraisal, he declared, as long as you're not really causing harm to somebody, Then you should be able to say what you want. This attitude has been clear since Must take over of Twitter last month. He has reinstated previously suspended accounts, including former President Donald Trump, and announced he would grant a general amnesty that everyone who has been booted off that had not been broken a law or engaged in spam must also ended Twitter's policy against Covid 19 misinformation and dismantled the company's trust and safety teams amid mass layoffs. Much of must conversation on Twitter spaces, which took place on Saturday night. Local time was devoted to the so-called Twitter files, a selection of internal documents released by journalist Matt Taibbi on Friday. Taibbi threat included files that showed Joe Biden's team instructing Twitter employees to remove specific Twitter political content in October, 2020, just weeks before he was elected president. Wow. Goes on to say that if Twitter was doing one team's bidding before an election, shutting down dissenting voices on a pivotal election, that is the definition of election interference. Musk, who has been highly critical of the platforms prior management, said, frankly, Twitter was acting like an arm of the Democratic National Committee. It was absurd. Musk had give, uh, said he had given Taibi as well as journalist Barry Weiss, unfettered access to old internal documents. Teasing more would be released and dubbing them the Twitter files, episode two. Wow. So that's interesting and that, that's something to be sad about, that like, there's always this talk about like assassination and in rightfully so, right, you have situations like, you know, the whole Epstein thing being an actual term used for the government wanting to, I don't know, kill you. Uh, And, and, you know, being in the space that I'm in, I've had some funny little messages before surrounding this type of thing for speaking about the things I speak about even. And I'm just a little guy here, not doing anything wrong, just giving my opinion on stuff, , but don't kill me. Um, but, uh, it is interesting and I like the way that he puts it, right? It, it is fairly easy to have somebody killed, he says. But I hope fate smiles upon me. . I love, I like that quote a lot. I almost should make a t-shirt out of that one. Uh, so the next part of the Elon Musk files is that after, uh, after this whole release of the Twitter files, Musk's neural link is under investigation. Over potential animal welfare violations, and this happened immediately after the Twitter files. Twitter files were released. Who would've thought the probe comes amid staff complaints about the company's animal testing being rushed. Elon Musk medical device company, Neurolink, is facing a federal probe in employee backlash and make claims of rushed animal testing causing needless suffering in deaths. Neurolink Corp is working on developing a brain implant. Hopes will curate range of neurological conditions including paralysis and Alzheimer's. According to the document seen by Reuters and interviews with staff, Neurolink employees have complained that pressure from CEO to speed up research has led to botch tests in unnecessary animal deaths. The recently launched federal investigation is focused on violations of the Animal Welfare Act, which governs how people or how animals are treated in research facilities. Now, what is the likelihood that two days after Elon Musk releases all of the files showing that Twitter was literally an extension of the Democratic National Party? To stifle dissenting voices. What are the odds that immediately following that Neurolink, all of the sudden has a federal probe into it? Right? And you even have the, uh, the White House Press Secretary calling, you know, people asking her if what their thoughts are on the Twitter, uh, gate Pro, uh, Twitter gate files and everything like that. And, uh, she kind of just stops the conversation. Doesn't say anything, circles back to it, right? As you would expect in the whole situation. So not much to be talked about there. And then Elon Musk also said that he personally wanted to punch Kanye West after the rapper posted a swastika on Twitter. I've already talked about that. I've already touched on it, so I'm not gonna do it much further. But yeah, maybe don't promote Nazis. That's not a good thing. Uh, and Kanye West got suspended again after doing all of that, right? After getting a good portion of society. Like there was a decent size rally cry around Kanye West, calling out the Jewish entertainment elites and the owners of multimedia companies in Disney and all of these, you know, large entertainment organizations and news media companies. There was a decent rally around it briefly until he went off the rails. Now, now again, I would like to go listen to the interview with Alex Jones. I will at some point and I'll update you guys on it cuz I want the context, right? Everything can be taken out of context. I really don't see how saying you love Hitler can be taken out of context. I, I, I don't exactly see how that one can be cured. Um, so again, off the Kanye train, not, uh, not something I support. So on that note, thank you guys for listening. I appreciate you so much. And.

We'll talk about that.Bryan Behar:Yes, please.Michael Jamin:Uh, then we'll talk about Kirsty, which we worked again on You guys brought, I mean, me and my partner in on to do a freelance of that. And I had the great Cogan on the show a couple weeks ago.Bryan Behar:Oh my goodness. Well, you, you've got to everyone before me. Oh,Michael Jamin:I I, yeah. This is the bottom of the barrel week. IBryan Behar:Know, I saw on the list. I was like,Michael Jamin:. Really?Bryan Behar:So go ahead.Michael Jamin:Uh, I also have here Jennifer FallsBryan Behar:And does not get back up. Yes. All yes, I've heard them all. Uh,Michael Jamin:Ratings falls then Ned and Stacy we have on here. I don't know why it's, it's out of order here, but yes, that was 1997 N and Stacy there. And then finally, uh, you were the, you were the showrunner of Fuller House, the, the full House Free make.Bryan Behar:That is correct. I was,Michael Jamin:Now you,Bryan Behar:Is the first time you're hearingMichael Jamin:This. I had no idea. , you've, now you're fond to say that I think you've, like, you've worked on 20, it's 26 shows. Is that what it is?Bryan Behar:21 shows in 26 seasons,Michael Jamin:21 shows. And think about, so this is a career, guys. YouBryan Behar:Are, this is a hard way to do it.Michael Jamin:It is the hard way.Bryan Behar:Apply for a new job twice a year.Michael Jamin:Yeah. And it's act I mean, to be honest, it was, um, it was more doable then than it is now. I mean, now it's really hard to do that.Bryan Behar:I have no idea what people do now. Yeah. Which is, which makes me a sort of, sort of a sham as a, a teacher of, of sitcoms as I'm trying to, um, encourage and promote people to take a, take the, the risk and, uh, and jump in. But, uh, I have no idea what a career trajectory, uh, looks like today. It was, it, it, it it was very, uh, understandable when we broke in. Yeah. Like, it, like there was a clearer path and you're like, oh, I can go from show to show and there's enough sitcoms and there's, you know, I can just, if I lose one job, I'll just walk to the next bungalow on CBS Bradford and knock on the door and hope somebody else lets us in. ButMichael Jamin:That's, that's what I say. I say maybe I wonder if you agree. I say that, um, I think it's easier to break in now, but it's harder to make a sustain a career. What do you think?Bryan Behar:Um, well, I'm, I'm certainly not gonna disagree with you on your own show. I mean, you, you ,Michael Jamin:Please, if you do, I just edit it out.Bryan Behar:You have your burgeoning media empire here and I looking to be part of it. Um, God, how many does it? Okay. Um, I think you're right. Um, and by that, i I, I don't know if it's harder to sustain a career. I see a lot more people not entirely willing to commit to putting a career together.Michael Jamin:What does thatBryan Behar:Mean? Which, I mean, there's been such, um, on social media and in the press, there's such a sort of hype surrounding the concept of like the celebrity showrun that, and, and sort of with the advent of streaming services, that there's this idea that anyone can get a show on the air at any time and immediately jump from like an unemployed, unemployable, aspiring writer to a show runner. Mm-hmm. without doing any of the work in between. Like, you know, I know I hate to sound old fashioned, but you and I, we definitely put in the time working up the rung, working up the ladder. So when we finally got that call to run a show, I, you know, we, we had the skill set presumably, you know, we had been learning, we'd been acquiring a certain set of skills. Um, and I don't know that that is really like, promoted as much,Michael Jamin:But are you seeing people with not, with not a lot of experience becoming share owners?Bryan Behar:No. Um, but I'm seeing, but I'm hearing a lot of that's the aspiration.Michael Jamin:Oh, oh, yes. That's for sure. I hear that a lot.Bryan Behar:You know, like, you know, because I know you talk to a lot of people, you know, who were, you know, aspiring TV writers. And I, you know, I was doing a lot of talks on, on Clubhouse, and a lot of ask me anything kind of talks on, on Twitter and, and the, the question always sort of circles back to how do I sell a pilot to Netflix? How do I get a show on the streamer? How do I become a show runner? And it's not like, oh, what samples do I need Yeah. To break in? What skills do I need to move up the ladder? You know, it's just a different mindset. Like, it never would've occurred to me. I didn't, I didn't even sell a pilot or even attempt a pilot until I had been on 12 networks at college.Michael Jamin:It's so fun, Brian. It's like, maybe we're just the old guys, but this is exactly what I say all the time. I mean, so I'm glad that I'm not the only one saying it, or thinking atBryan Behar:Least. No, there are, there are two old guys in the Yeah, we have become the guys from the puppets, butMichael Jamin:The cranky old guys Yeah. InBryan Behar:Waldorf and Staler.Michael Jamin:But, but you, so I wanna actually wanna mention this. I wanna jump around for a second. So yes, you are also teaching at Chapman University. You're teaching, uh, is it television writing? What are you, what's their course?Bryan Behar:Um, yeah. Um, I'm teaching, I, I just, I started last semester from, this was my first time. Um, and, and currently in this fall semester, I'm teaching two classes. One is a sitcom writing class, uh, for graduate students, uhhuh. And one is a pilot writing class for undergrads. And then I'm gonna do two, they've already asked me back, uh, for two sitcom classes, uh, in the spring semester.Michael Jamin:Wow, that'sBryan Behar:Great. Yeah. It seems to be what I do. Uh,Michael Jamin:So you're enjoying it then? I loveBryan Behar:It. I love it. And I, uh,Michael Jamin:You weren't sure if you were gonna enjoy it?Bryan Behar:No, I, it, it actually took a little bit of Mm, a little coaxing internally in the family. You know, my wife had a bit of a come to Jesus moment with me. You know how, I don't know if you've heard the old joke, but they say that in Hollywood, you're retired for seven years before you realize it. Well, I had been retired for three years, and my wife was certainly well aware, and I was, I was starting to get it. Um, and she really was, you know, she really sat me down and said, like, you know, is this what you wanna do the rest of your life? Just keep banging your head against the same wall? Or is there, is there a wall you can go around and find something that gives you joy? And this has been great. WhatMichael Jamin:Exactly do you like about it?Bryan Behar:Well, I like not being on a TV show, which apparently Hollywood, Hollywood and myself have the same, likeMichael Jamin:You do have the same goal for you.Bryan Behar:They both, my, my, uh, agent manager, Hollywood producers and teaching, I'll see it the same way. .Michael Jamin:Um,Bryan Behar:No, I, I, I love, I mean, it, it, it's something so special to be around people who just are filled with nothing but hope and nothing but confidence. And, you know, it's really, I mean, if I have to spend my days around people who are positive and, and still love, have a love for the art and a love for the craft, and would give anything to be in television or be, you know, be by myself or be around a lot of bitter people complaining about why they're not in, you know, I'll take the four hours of driving down to Orange County anytime. Uh, it, it's, it's been great. And I didn't, I had no idea if I would like it.Michael Jamin:Well, first of all, it's not really a four hour drive.Bryan Behar:It's, it's two hours each way.Michael Jamin:Right. Okay. Um,Bryan Behar:So yes, for clarity's sake. Okay. It's not a four hour drive each way, but it is.Michael Jamin:But, and I'm sure what surprises you, cause it does surprise me, is just, is how much you actually know about how to do this. Right.Bryan Behar:That's the other fun part. I mean, that's is, I mean, and I don't mean it in like a smug, self satisfactory kind of way that like, wow, I'm, I'm smart, I've learned things, but when you're, when you're actually seeing it through the perspective of, of new writers and, you know, and new students and, and you're imparting knowledge on them, and, and it's, and like you said, it's not even knowledge that you're aware you have. Right. It's, we've almost picked it up by osmosis. But I mean, you know, me and I think you're a lot, you're really kind of the same way where, you know, we were both students of, of television, students of the TV history, students of the craft, you know, more than a lot of people who we did it alongside. I mean, so I think it makes sense. The, the two of us have found virgins of, of offering guidance and coaching and Yeah. And, you know, and trying to impart expertise. But it, it is, it is really satisfying and gratifying to, to realize like, wow, I, I actually did learn something. I actually have a certain level of skill. And, you know, all those years were not for, not, yeah. I'm spelling not differently in those two cases, butMichael Jamin:K nBryan Behar:O t not for nothing. Yes. , I mean, I know you're from the tri-state area. I should, I should have said it more colloquial,Michael Jamin:But, um, and so, yeah. Good. So, and you're enjoying that and you, the class sizes are kind of small or what?Bryan Behar:Yeah, I had, uh, seven last semester. My grad student was, is nine, and then 15, uh, I got 15 in my, uh, pilot class, you know, but it's, it's way tougher than I expected. You know, like, I, like they turn in, you know, like pages of a script or an outline, uh, the day before we go into class. And I, and I'm so like, you know, of, of the neurotic sense of I need to give them their money's worth, you know, they're paying a lot for the, so I write up about three pages of notes per student, per class. Wow. So, pilot class, that's, I'm writing up 45 pages of notes between the hours of two and eight on a Thursday night just to make sure I have something to give themMichael Jamin:A lot of work, dude,Bryan Behar:You know, you know, on Friday. And it's like, wow, you know, I, I used to do half the amount of work for a lot more money, but it, you know, I don't know that I would do that again. AndMichael Jamin:Let me be clear.Bryan Behar:And that's okay. I've made, I really have made my peace, which, which is threatening to people. You know, I had, I had lunch with a writer we both know the, uh, last week. And he is like, you, you want back in? I was like, no, I really don't. He's like, you can't be at peace. I'm like, no, I'm at peace. He goes, what if I offered youMichael Jamin:Go?Bryan Behar:Yeah. And I was like, he goes, what if I offered you a job on a, on a, on a pilot? I was like, okay, well first you'd have to get it on the air and you're not going to offer it. I said, but yeah, sure. Let's say you offered me a job. I'm not gonna like turn it down out of hand. Um, but I don't think it's gonna happen. He goes, yeah, probably not. He goes, your old partner's, uh, wife works at the network. She never let me hire you anyway. I'm like, then why are we having this discussion? You, you better pay for lunch.Michael Jamin:Could you wait, can you say who it was?Bryan Behar:This was Marco from, uh,Michael Jamin:Oh, Marco, really? MarcoBryan Behar:From, uh, yeah, from our Kirsty,Michael Jamin:Yes. Marco from Hello Marco from Kirsty.Bryan Behar:Hello Marco from KirstyMichael Jamin:.Bryan Behar:One of, one of my dear friends. But, you know, but I think, you know, for a lot of people that you know this, and I'm not singling him out, you know, that being a writer on television becomes one's identity. And, and it was for me for a long, long time, you know, you know, 25, 26 years, uh, of doing it. But it, you know, at some point you just have to read the writing on the wall, if that's, if that's where your career is at. And, and that's where IMichael Jamin:Are you still doing any other writing outside? Just for your, for personal reasons?Bryan Behar:Yeah, I'm doing all kinds of writing, but none of which is with the intent ofMichael Jamin:Making aBryan Behar:TV show, selling a pilot or, or getting back in, you know, on staff. Yeah. And, and that's, you know, you know, we've talked about this off camera a lot over the last, you know, five, six years just finding our own voices and, and finding other avenues to, to write on, you know, on my own. And so I'm like, I'm still writing a, you know, you know, a lot of essays. Um, I, you know, I, I had written I think 40 essays for the Huffington Post, um, over the past five years, another 20, 25 for Medium. And, and then I've moved my stuff over, uh, to sub stack. Um, so I recently wrote a, an article about growing up in Encino that was shared 10,000 times. Um, and I performed it at a, um, wow. I performed it at a spoken word, and I,Michael Jamin:And that was all from Sub, it got shared 10,000 times.Bryan Behar:Yeah. Yeah.Michael Jamin:Wait, what? We'll plug it.Bryan Behar:Apparently. I know a lot about the Valley,Michael Jamin:But, and you have a lot of thought. We'll plug it again at the end, but I wanna make sure, might as well mention it now as well. What's your sub name?Bryan Behar:Oh, find You. I assume it's, it, it has to be Brian Behar. That's with Brian with a Y. But I can, I can check. I'm sorry. This is, this is not gonna make great television watching an old Jew look, look up his SubT. But, uh, I just, um, I just got O brian behar.com, but I just got two Twitter notifications saying that even though this, uh, episode hasn't aired, it's already been referred to as two JulieMichael Jamin:, Elon Musk's ahead of time.Bryan Behar:. He's,Michael Jamin:He's, he's, he's making it better. Um,Bryan Behar:Yeah, I've lost 10,000 followers in the last week, and I don't think I've gotten that much less funny. I, but uh, I mean, there's, there's just a Twitter at Trisha. Yeah. So, as you, but in, in reference to your other question, yeah. I'm still still posting a ton on Twitter and on, on Facebook. I, I wrote a novella, um, which is just a novel that I didn't have enough words to legally call a novel. Uh, I've been writing my articles, doing spoken words, so really doing everything but the stuff that used to pay me. And, uh, but, and loving itMichael Jamin:And loving itBryan Behar:And loving it.Michael Jamin:And that's great. I wanna, so I wanna circle back to stuff that I wanna ask you, how you broke into the business. Although it's odd because I'm not sure how helpful it is for people since so much has changed, but we might as well talkBryan Behar:About it. Yeah. I mean, sitcoms used to be on Kiddo Scopes when we were breaking in , you know, was it the Dumont network that gave me myMichael Jamin:First job? , yes.Bryan Behar:I mean, my story is sort of, sort of interesting for people who like ancient history, , um, you know, cuz in many ways I was an overnight success. I wrote one spec script and was on the staff of n and Stacy two months later. Um, but this was an overnight success that, that was seven years in the making, right? Um, between the time I graduated from college, brown University. Um,Michael Jamin:Oh, for applause. Nothing.Bryan Behar:Oh, for applause. Hold for salute. Thank you. Thank you. Everyone still holding, still holding. No one seems to, no one seems to care as much as, as I do, um, between graduation and, and, and even knowing at the time of graduation that I desperately wanted to be a sitcom writer, it was seven years between then and actually getting my first job Right. Um, for the first few years. It, it just felt as though it was not like a conceivable path in my mind. It's, it felt like that was for like the funny people. That's what other people did. Um, but I knew I wanted to write mm-hmm. , and that was something I discovered at Brown. Like, I, I went to Brown thinking I was gonna be a lawyer, like all dutiful Jewish boys trying to buy their mother's affection through grades, . Um, that didn't work. So I decided I might as well do something I actually am good at and something that I like. Uh, and I started to realize that like, wow, people seem to be laughing when I'm writing stuff for the school paper. So I knew I wanted to write comedy, but, uh, a job in advertising actually felt more, uh, conceivable to me. And, and as such, I went on that path and I, and I worked as a copywriter for seven years. AndMichael Jamin:That was in New York, or out hereBryan Behar:On the west coast. Started in San Diego, then Los Angeles, and finished up in San Francisco.Michael Jamin:Okay.Bryan Behar:Um, and I was pretty good at it, and I was starting to actually get like a, a decent amount of success and traction, but all the while I could not shake the feeling that I really wanna write tv. I really wanna be a comedy writer. And if I don't try it soon, I'm gonna reach that point where I am too successful or too well paid at, at something I don't wanna do to ever take the chance. So, um, my old partner, uh, was a college friend Steve, and he said, Hey, I'm writing a specs script. And I was like, wait, you don't wanna be a TV writer? That's my dream. He's like, well, I'm doing it with another friend of ours. I said, well, tell her we're not doing it. And he and I wrote it over a facsimile machine while he was in LA and I was living in San Francisco. We were never even in the same room. Wow. AndMichael Jamin:And he was an executive at the time?Bryan Behar:He was an executive. He frequently wore suspenders by choice.Michael Jamin:I'm sorry. He was a TV executive, right? He was at, was he at a, where was he? Wonder Brother abc. WhereBryan Behar:Was he? He was at Universal. He was at Columbia. He was at spelling and he was at nbc. Yeah. So he was well into that career, but he also, he was, you know, he wa he'd been to enough tapings and be like, wow, these people aren't that smart. Like, right. Like, I can write, I can write mediocre multi-campus, it comes as well as the next guy . SoMichael Jamin:You guys teamed up, you wrote a spec and then what?Bryan Behar:And then we, we were on staff two months later. HowMichael Jamin:Did you get into, how did you get into someone's hands? What,Bryan Behar:Uh, well, he was dating the woman who became our agent. ThatMichael Jamin:Helps.Bryan Behar:And so, so there is thatMichael Jamin:,Bryan Behar:I mean, he had dated her earlier. They had met in the, uh, UTA mail room. Hi. SoMichael Jamin:That's right. She, she was my, our agent at one point too.Bryan Behar:Yeah. Um, but like I will say to our credit, like, she was like, you have to send it to me. But we were, we thought that it was almost not kosher and it sent it to some other people who were gonna sign us Uhhuh. Um, so it was a good, but here's the thing, it was a good spec. Um, and I see why we got hired, but we took a year to write it. Yeah.Because like, you know, we had unlimited time. There was no constraints of being on a show. And then we get to our first job and they say, oh, well we need our, your first script in a week. Right? Well, we had no, we had no system in place. We had never even been in the same city. Right. So we totally panicked, wrote it as quickly as possible, turned it in, and we're like, I think we did it. And we got called in by our boss, Michael Whitehorn is like, guys, you know, I have to say about this script. Like, it reads like a Marks Brothers movie. And I was like, well, thank you very much. I I appreciate. He's like, no, this is terrible. He goes, I love the March Brothers, but that's not how you write tv. He goes, there's no story, there's no setups.It's just bouncing from joke to joke. Mm-hmm. . And it literally read like it felt writing it like it was done out of panic. Yeah. And he, and he told us he was gonna have to fire us. And this was like, you know, I finally was living my dream after years and years. He did. You already. And, and within like a month it was, it was all gonna go away. And I had quit my career in San, in San Francisco in advertising. Moved down here. I had just gotten married, you know, I always like to say, other than death, divorce, and space travel, I took on all of life's great stressors in one month. But did And did you get fired from it? We did not. What happened? Here's some advice for you young folk. Yeah. Cause I know young folks like this podcast. Um, they might, they might to laugh .Um, he said, well, legally, I have to give you a second script. So you know how long ago it was when you had a two script guarantee? Yeah. He goes, so I might as well let you write it anyway cause I don't have to pay you. Right. So at that point, we, we had nothing to lose because we'd already suffered like all the indignity of being fired and everyone in the room knew it. So we kind of just slowed down and like pieced it together a lot more carefully and a lot more artfully. You know, we still, you know, we still had a ton of jokes, but it wasn't in this like, frantic style. And he, and he, to his credit, he said, this is so much better. I'm gonna, I'm taking it back. I'm gonna let you keep your job. And we ended up staying there for 24 episodes and we wrote four of them.Mm-hmm. , and we were, you know, sort of off to the races. But it, you know, so much attention is given to getting that first job. And so little attention is given to how do you keep it? Yep. How do you get the second one? How do you go from jobs two to jobs three and four? And that's like, that's the stuff that I'm trying to help people with both online and in my class, which is anyone can kind of break in with like, you know, and I've heard you talk on your, your ticks about one hit wonders. Like, that's not what people should be aspiring to. They shouldn't be aspiring to, well I, I, you know, I sold this one movie, or I sold this one pilot. But how do you get on a show? How do you, how do you keep, how do you stay in the boss's good graces mm-hmm. , how do you make friends on a staff as a staff writer, um, without being the annoying staff writer who feels compelled to fill the air with your voice mm-hmm. because you think that everyone's judging you and keeping score. And these are, you know, again, these are all super valuable, but, you know, lessons that are kind of lost arts in my mind. Um,Michael Jamin:I totally agree. It's also, you know, when I, the first script that I wrote, this is even Withouts before I met my partner, it was a good script. It got me signed by Bro Cro and Webner. But I thought I would never write. It wasn't my first script. It was the first script. I guess it was good, but I, I thought I would never do it. How could I do it again? I don't, I I got lucky. I didn't know how, I didn't know what a story was. I just got lucky, you know?Bryan Behar:Yeah. I hundred percent felt that and felt that for a long time. I mean, when I was writing like samples, and again, I, I, I sort of jumped ahead and didn't mention that I was trying to write samples for all seven of those years.Michael Jamin:Yeah.Bryan Behar:And I tried it with three or four different partners. I tried it on my own. Interesting. Um, and my real issue was I couldn't finish. You know, like people always say like, what, you know, what's the, what's your biggest advice? I'm like, finish a script. Yeah. Because I would belly ache at coffee shop houses all over Le Brea. Like, why am I not on staff? Oh, do you have a sample? Well, I've never finished oneMichael Jamin:,Bryan Behar:You know, but like, how did people not know about me? I, I won't stop talking about it, but like, I think I, I, deep down I felt that if I were to finish a script and I don't get hired then like I no longer have a sustainable dream. Like as long as it was still out there, it was something that I could always like shoot for as a safety valve if I didn't like what I was doing in advertising or in life. But once you finish something, then it becomes tangible and people would read it. But if you don't do that, it it, there's no way for them to advance you. So, uh,Michael Jamin:Yeah. Yeah. I mean it's so interesting you say about keeping the job I did. I definitely talk about that as well. It's like, how do you keep your job? And so I've seen, I've seen so many, and you must see more than me, but young staff, writers just flame out flame. They get, it's a shame cuz you get this job, but you're not ready for it. And then you're done.Bryan Behar:You, I've seen so many people get the first job and never get the second job.Michael Jamin:Yeah. Yeah.Bryan Behar:If you get the second job, there's a pretty good chance that you're inMichael Jamin:Uhhuh.Bryan Behar:Um, now again, that was in the mid nineties when NBC alone had 18 sitcoms on its fall schedule. Yeah. I don't mean 18 sitcoms on all the network, I mean, just on one of the networks. And it's not like the others, you know, were only doing, you know, biopics you, you know, this was an, an era where there was a clear path forward where you could, you could rise through the ranks. You could go from show to show you could take, you know, good credits and get a better job on another show. Mm-hmm. . Um, I mean we used to always, always, before we knew you guys, we used to resent the hell out of you. We're like, you know, cause we, you know, we'd been on like 10 shows while you guys were on Just Shoot Me in King of the Hill. Yeah.Michael Jamin:Yeah.Bryan Behar:And it's like, wow, that is a, that is an entirely other way of doing it. Which is we, we would look at you and like, so you're telling me you can get on a really good show, stay there, do a good job, stay there for a long time, then get on a better show. Yeah. And do that for a long time. And that was, you know, andMichael Jamin:A lot of that is luck. Like, you know, we got on a good show and it went four seasons and you got on a show that didn't get, you know, four seasons and then you have to, and so yeah. A lot of that is, you know, that's just luck really. You know,Bryan Behar:A lot of it is. Yes. I mean, and yet, you know, like now I've had some opportunities to sort of reflect back on my career and there are situations like old Christine for example, which ran for six years, but we just ran for the first 13 episodes. Right. Um, you know, if I knew better how to play the game, um, or you know, not to take defeat so much to heart. Um, you know, and a lot of that had to do with like, sort of grappling with depression and a lot of things mm-hmm. . Um, but like I, you know, if I knew now, if I knew then what I know now, I think there might have been a few opportunities along the way where I could have kept a job for longer. But, um, nothing I can do about that now.Michael Jamin:Not that it, not that really makes a difference, but Do you, do you see any change between the way young staff writers are today? Like when you were doing one of your last few shows and the work when you were first starting off, do you see a change in their attitudes or their readiness or anything?Bryan Behar:No. Um, I'm, I'm trying to think. You know, because I, I was very fortunate on Fuller House that I was able to promote a ton of younger writers from within the system, uh, and, and was able to give them their first staff writing jobs. Right. Um, and like that was a little different than how I had done it, which was, you know, in my case. And I think maybe, maybe in your case, but I, I don't wanna speak for you. Like, certainly in our case it was you write samples and you break in as a staff writer. And I see more and more that the only way in for a lot of people is to take other jobs on a show in the production working as a PA and then working up to a writing's assistant or start as a writing assistant then becoming the, you know, the, you know, the writing supervisor or, or you know, like that that sort of path, uh, of promotion from within seems to be a lot more common. I know that didn't answer your, that didn't answer your question specifically about the writers themselves. No. They, they seem just like young writers mm-hmm. who were, you know, who were appreciative of the shot. It seems like they've all been maybe out in the cold a lot longer than we were Yeah. Uh, before they get their first break. And I think there's less certainty about what comes after because there just aren't as many sitcoms in general and multi cams in specific.Michael Jamin:I did a post about this just a couple days ago about, cuz someone said, well, you know, when are they gonna, are they gonna bring back multi-camera sick? They should bring them back. And I was like, you know, at some point, maybe in 10 or 15 years, it might almost be impossible because whoBryan Behar:It might be Im now.Michael Jamin:Well, why do you thinkBryan Behar:So they, they exist Uhhuh, but they exist either for the very old or the very young mm-hmm. and there's been an entire, and I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt you, but there's been an entire generation that has been raised without them.Michael Jamin:Right.Bryan Behar:And which infuriates me because as a historian of the, of the genre, I look back as recently as a couple years ago, and in the previous, I think 60 years of sitcoms, the number one sitcom on the air, uh, in terms of total viewers had been a multicam in 59 of the six first 60 years.Michael Jamin:Yeah.Bryan Behar:Um, and this even includes like, you know, what you might call like the heyday of the single camera era. And yes, there have been a few hits that have become sizable monsters like Modern Family and The Office, but the Office even more so, you know, once it became syndicated or once it went to Netflix. Um, but even during that, those shows having their heydays, the top rated sitcoms were still two and a Half Men and Big Bang Theory. You know, I mean, I am someone who strongly believes that, that the multi cam has always been more popular than the single cam. But, and maybe we've spoken about this before, but executives didn't think it was as cool to talk about it at their, you know, west side cocktail parties. And nobody wanted to be the one who developed, you know, a big embarrassing show with a laugh track. So they would just keep plowing ahead.Michael Jamin:But they always say they're looking for it because it costs less money.Bryan Behar:They always say it, but they never buy them. Yeah. And in fact, many times we would, Steve and I would sell a pilot to someone, um, as a single cam knowing that that's the only thing that those networks were putting on that year. And they say, no, no, no, we're really looking for multi cams. They would change our pilot to a Multicam and then pick it up and say, well, nobody's, there's nowhere, nowhere on the schedule where we can place us a multicam. Yeah. There's, wait a second. You made me do it. Yeah.Michael Jamin:Um, why do youBryan Behar:Think, I'm not gonna say it would've gotten on anyway, so, butMichael Jamin:Why do you think they couldn't make it today? Do you think it's just a scheduling thing? Cause I had a different feeling about it.Bryan Behar:I think it's a scheduling thing on the one hand. Um, and I've read some articles recently about the difficulty in scheduling multi cams alongside single cams. There was an article just like this week in fact. But beyond that, I think it's, it is almost just like, why isn't there rock and roll on Top 40 radio because there hasn't been in 15 years, so there's nobody alive in that age demo who would listen to it.Michael Jamin:You think so? You think it's a viewership thing? Cause I don't, that's not what I do. I think the problem is, is I think it, when we jumped on a set, you know, when we first were on sitcoms, like, especially in Multicam, there's so much to learn about how to produce a multi-camera show that we weren't, we weren't even thinking of like running one in 10 15. Like, it was like, I don't know how to do this. Even when I'm working on it, I'm like, I wouldn't be, you couldn't put me in charge of this. And then, but now, but you, but you come out of a school. So like we were on Just Shoot Me and that came out of was on Frazier. So we kind of grew outta the Frazier School, which grew outta the cheer school. So there's like this column of like writers before you that you learn from.Bryan Behar:Yeah. It's like coming out of like the Bill Belichick coaches tree. Yeah.Michael Jamin:Right. VeryBryan Behar:Similar. You if you're, if you're a, you know, a co-executive producer on, on one on Levian show, then you can be the executive producer on when you get a deal on your next show.

Just go to michael jamin.com/watchlist.Now, like if you wanted to put a single, a multi-camera show on the air, where's the talent pool other than a bunch of old guys or people who've never done it before?Bryan Behar:Yeah. And, and, and like, you know, I sounded a little facetious earlier when I said it was the purview of the very old or the very young. But like, I mean that both in terms of the people who create it and the people who watch it, you know, it, it's either like pretty old fashioned, the last remnants of like CBS multi cams mm-hmm. or it's a Disney channel, Nickelodeon show. Right. Um, and what used to be like the mainstream of comedy doesn't exist that that really vast middle Yeah. Isn't there anymore in terms of, of multi cams, either in terms of like the space that's given on the schedule or in, in the age of the people who consume it. Yeah. Um, so I just think that people now think of it as old fashioned and kind of, there's a superficial, there's a fakeness to it.Yeah. An artificiality, not superficial, an artificiality to it. Cuz now that they've seen enough comedies that are written, you know, written and produced like little movies mm-hmm. , you know, I think it's part of this, it's part of the movie of TV that's happening in the more general sense mm-hmm. that, you know, when you look at the streaming services and, and I, and I think me teaching a class on pilot writing and like of the, of the 15 kids that are writing pilots, 14 are writing one hours mm-hmm. one is writing a single camp, but of the one hours most are done in like, in genres of, you know, it's superheroes, it's science fiction, it's it's space and it's zombies. Yeah. You know, like all of which wouldn't have been on television when we were breaking in. Yeah. It was multi cam comedies and procedural dramas and that was it. It was, and it was like you could wrap your hands around it. It doesn't mean that it was like a glorious time in terms of, you know, this great diversity of product, but like from the perspective of people trying to, you know, like rise up through the hierarchy, it was a lot more tangible and easier to comprehend. Yeah.Michael Jamin:I was even thinking of shows, like even the shows were like, gimme a break or, or small Wonder. Like, those shows were also very comfortable, you know, or Punky Brewster, like they were comfortable shows they don't exist anymore.Bryan Behar:It feels like you're setting me up. But I am, I have long been of as much as I try to write edgy stuff and like you and I were on Will, I mean, you know. Yeah. Like we both have, you know, the bonafides of, you know, to write cool single camera stuff. But I've also been of the belief that the calm and sitcom often stands just as much for comfort as it does for comedy. Yeah. And all those shows you described, um, there was a comforting, soothing value. Now some of it has to do with, we were young at the time, some of it has to do with our own nostalgia for an easier time. But I mean, that's why I got into sitcoms in the first place because, you know, my family life was pretty rough. I didn't have a ton of friends, but I loved the Brady Bunch. Yeah. Um, and I found that even like, at a very, very young age, like I found that world incredibly soothing.Michael Jamin:But that's not a good example. Cause that was a single camera show.Bryan Behar:I know. But it, it doesn't feel like a single camera show. Um, and you're right. But, uh, I mean, but whether, but it was still, it was still a family sitcom. Yeah. Um, and like for instance, like when I, like when we were first offered the chance to write on Fuller House, not to run it, but just, you know, to be a co-executive producer in the first season, I had no interest mm-hmm. and I was like, I never saw Full House. Um, but two, but two things sort of changed my mind. One was my daughter, who was like maybe like 13, 14 at the time, and she's like, you're gonna take this meeting and you're not gonna fuck it up. She's like, this is gonna be huge. Because she, you know, she knew the power of the original Full house as a kid who sort of grew up on the reruns and like whatever, she was homesick from school, we would tape her five episodes of the Brady Bunch and five episodes of, um, full House.It seemed easier than actually parenting or offering her medicine. Um, but that's neither hit nor the other. But the other thing was realizing like, okay, I don't know Full House, but I sure know the Brady Bunch. And that full house served the exact same function for kids who were 10 years younger than me as the Brady Bunch did in my life. And I'm like, oh, I know what that felt like to Yeah. I know what it felt like to be that age and, and want to be soothed by a TV show and wanna feel like you're part of a, you know, a surrogate family on the air. And, and that that really helped, helped me as a way inMichael Jamin:Yeah.Bryan Behar:So realize is that kind of showMichael Jamin:Yeah. It's an interesting, it really is an interesting time for writers. What are you, what are you, how are you advising your students to break in then? What are you telling them?Bryan Behar:Well, I try not to spend as much time on the how to break in mm-hmm. as to give them the tools that might open the door and might help them. And, and, and I, you know what, what I do, again, I'm, I'm, I'm sort of evading the question by design. Um, like for instance, I, I run my classes as if they were a writer's room. I push all the tables together. We sit around one big table with me at the front, like a big mock, just like the old days. Yeah. At one 20th. At one 20th. The salary. Right. Of, of, but like, I want them to get used to what it, you know, what it feels like to, you know, pitch amongst their peers what it feels like to, you know, offer an idea or a joke to somebody at the head of the table.So like, as far as teaching them the craft, I think I'm doing a pretty good job. I don't know that I have as much wisdom when it comes to how does one break in these days. Right. Um, I alluded to in a teeny bit earlier, which is one of the things I will say is do not turn down any job on a television show mm-hmm. , because that has become more and more the only way in is to rise through the ranks. It, it is entirely a function of who, you know, so many of the jobs come from the people doing, you know, the non-writing jobs that, you know, that lead into it.Michael Jamin:But you also have to be ready. It's not, it's not enough to know somebody. Your script has to, you have to know how to writeBryan Behar:Well. Yeah. I don't know that you're gonna get those writing assistant jobs or those pa jobs even without a script. So, I mean, you have to have a great script now just to get those jobs.Michael Jamin:Oh, okay. I wasn't aware ofBryan Behar:That. I think you do. I'veMichael Jamin:Never, I've never read any, I've never asked a pa or write assistant to read their, I'd rather not read their script.Bryan Behar:Yeah, no, I, I, I mean, I'm of the, I'm of the, I'm the same way. I just would rather assume that they, that they're funny. Right. Uh, you know, after the interview, but like you, I, again, since I wasn't running the show, um, when we started out, I don't know if they had spec scripts originally. Right. I inherited so many of them, you know, so, but you know, but what I tell them is like, you know, you're sitting there behind the keyboards. Like, nobody wants you to be the one pitching jokes all day long, but like, pick your battles. Like, you know, I've seen, I've seen writing assistants like win a job from pitching a, you know, lobbying a giant joke out of the corner of the room when no one's expecting it. Right. You know, and in some ways, like the pressure's off. No one is expecting you to save the day.Mm-hmm. . Um, and I always say like, if you really need to be funny, be funny at lunch, you know, like when you're just like, cuz then you were, if you're sitting around one table at lunch, you're all just people. There's not that same hierarchy. Right. People. And then a year from now when we say, oh, we need a staff writer, we were far more likely to say like, oh, so and so made me laugh, you know, you know, while I was eating my gato grill. Then, uh, you know, then have to read a stack of scripts. You know, you know, so like I say, like you can break it as a staff writer, the traditional way you can get hired, um, at, in another type of job. Like we've just been talking about within the production. And then there's all these writing programs that mm-hmm. Things still exist, even though Warner Brothers a few weeks ago said they were canceling the Warner program. They brought it back. They brought it back. Okay. Yeah. That's like, that is like the third way. And that, that's still a valid and beyond that, I don't really know how, I know people all wanna be discovered. Everyone, everyone wants to like write a pilot that gets bought by a streamer mm-hmm. and they wanna be a celebrity showrun. Right. And I don't know, I don't know that that exists, but it probably exists just enough that everyone thinks they can do it. Yeah. Like for instance, like I'm teaching at Chapman, which is a fabulous program. It like barely existed 20 years ago, and now it's like the fourth film school in the country according to the, you know, the most recent rankings. And like, their big claim to fame is the two brothers who created Stranger Things like in their twenties. Right. Like out of nowhere, I think they had one credit. And the next thing you know, they have a show that's the biggest show on all television in all mediums. Right. Streamer, cable pay, cable, anything. And I forgot broadcast that used to be a thing that we cared about. Um, but like, everyone's like, well, the Duffer Brothers did it. Why can't I create some, some genre of sci-fi? And it's like, you can possibly, but that's again, that's the exception. Yeah. What's gonna happen if you don't,Michael Jamin:I think that's exactly right. I think that's, that's the exception. It's, and it's such a remarkable exception that the media picks up on it and talks about it because it's what an unusual story. And then therefore people think, oh, that's how you do it. You know,Bryan Behar:And I guess that's, I mean, if we really were being fair, there's always been that media story of the V kid, you know mm-hmm. 20 years ago it was Josh Schwartz, he's, he's 11 years old and he created the oc Yeah. You know, there's always, you know, there's always someone who got, you know, I think James L. Brooks was one of them, you know? Right. Like, there's always somebody who in their twenties gets a show on the air and ruin it for everybody else. Mm-hmm. . But, but, but I mean, by ruin it by everybody else is it creates this illusion that all you need to do is sell a pilot, not learn how to write tv.Michael Jamin:Yeah. I, you know, I remember when we were first signed, or when I, yeah, I guess it was with Sheer signed and, um, our agent said, oh, oh, no, no. She said it to me before, before I was with Sheer. She said, you know, I signed one new baby writer a year. You're the baby writer. In three years you're gonna be running your own show. And, and I, and I, I, I smiled very play. Oh, that's great. And then after I hung up, I was seriously panicked. I was like, run my own show. I, I, I don't even know if I can write another script. Like that's the last thing I wanna do is run our own show.Bryan Behar:Of course. Now here's something I'm gonna admit to you that you're, you're gonna laugh at me. And, and, and That's okay. It would not be the first time. Like Steve, and, and, and I can't talk too much about it because it's part of ongoing litigation, some of the specifics of this. But Steve and I were offered the opportunity to run Fuller House, uh, beginning season four.Michael Jamin:Mm-hmm. .Bryan Behar:Um, so we had been doing this for I think 22 years. I was like 53 years old, 52 years old. And I said no, because of the thought of running a show, even with 22 years experience, even at 52 years old, seemed inconceivable to me. Yeah. Now, you know, I have a history of severe panic disorder and a lot of other things that, that contribute to that. And then they came back and offered it to us again. They're like, no, no, we, we thought about someone else, it's you. And we said no again, um, because no, now we're, we're in a kind of an extreme case, but part of it was a function of that ship had sailed in my mind mm-hmm. as far as like being a possibility. Like when you, when you're hitting your, your, you know, your your early to mid fifties and you've not run a show, I think in it's a, it's a, it is a fair assumption to say that the business doesn't see you that way.Mm-hmm. , like you're, you know, Steve and I were very competent number twos and very competent number threes mm-hmm. . Um, but the thought of actually like taking on the big chair still seemed like something that like engendered panic. Yeah. And, and then, you know what? We did it and I loved it and I, I loved doing it. I was eager to do it again. Um, you know, we did 30, 31 episodes, uh, under our helm and like started to take on responsibilities and facets that I'd never, ever even thought about. Right. It was great. So, and I, so even though I never got to do it another time or another time yet, I'm thrilled that I was able to get past that fear because it really was like the sort of the last fear that was out there for me.Michael Jamin:But the thing is, when people say that, when people say, I wanna run my own show, and I said, do you, you don't even know what a Showrun does. Like why would you, like, why, why are you signing up for a job? You don't even know what the job entails.Bryan Behar:Well, because they've seen Matt Wener give an interview at the end of Madman or Vince Gilligan, the end of Breaking Bad. And they know that like, you know, they know what their salaries are and they know their celebrities. Yeah. You know, and they get good, you know, they get good tables at Mr. Chap. I mean, I don't know, but like, I didn't know what his, there was no such thing as a celebrity Showrun when we were breaking in. Like there were, yes, there were successful people. You know, like I was very aware who created Seinfeld and friends and who created Cheers and what the back ends were. Right. But that thing where, and it really is kind of a function of premium tv, like sort of the Post Sopranos one hour world, you know, the Mad Men, Sopranos, breaking beds, the Shield, the Wire Deadwood, like those have really kind of deified the one hour show runner as like pop culture celebrities.Michael Jamin:Yeah.Bryan Behar:And they've, they've sort of become the new film directors. Yeah.Michael Jamin:Right.Bryan Behar:So everybody wants that.Michael Jamin:Right.Bryan Behar:And again, like if you see the Duffer Brothers do it, you know, at, at 28 years old or however, however young they were, um, people are, people rightly do ask Why not us? Mm-hmm. . But again, like I had been doing TV for 22 or 23 years before I took over that show and still had no conception of what running a show entailed. Yeah. In terms of just the sheer enormity of the pressure of the responsibility. And that was with two of us, and that was with two of us dividing the task. I had no idea how someone does that on their own. Yeah. Cause even with two people that felt like, like, like a, her her lay super human effort. Yep. You know, and I'm sure you found the same thing, like, um, there's so many different, you're making a decision all day long, every day at a furious pace. Yep. And yet there's nothing like it. Like it was such, it was, you know, and I don't mean like just from like a, the standpoint of like, I felt powerful, but like, there were like, having such a sense of purpose every day was fantastic. Uhhuh,You know, overcoming fears and like developing like a skill like that I didn't even know I needed to possess. Like, that was interesting. Yeah. You know, so I feel, I mean, it certainly helps me as a teacher because if I had never run a show, I'd feel like a little bit like a fraud offering notes and like fixing scripts and mm-hmm. having now having done it, like at, I'm not gonna say the highest levels, but a high level. Right. Um, you know, I feel like far more qualified to be the one teaching people. Cause I feel like I've done at least the equivalent of that in, in tv.Michael Jamin:Yeah. It, it's, it's interesting because even as I, before I started doing, like talking on social media, I was like, well, you know who, I'm not Vince Gilligan, I'm not Chuck Lori, I'm not Steve Levitan. I'm not, I'm not the highest there is, you know, um, what,Bryan Behar:Well, two things come to mind. Number one, don't sell yourself short because you're still super high within, you're still super high within the, you know, the pecking order. Like, once you take out those, those few brand names, right. You've done it. You've, you've run multiple shows. You've run multiple good shows and people liked working for you. And, uh, you know, like the, the job we did together on, on Glen Martin was a pleasure. And, uh, you know, that's probably the closest I ever felt to like really writing in my own voice Yeah. And kind of just letting go and not being self-conscious and just writing whatever felt silly or funny. Right. So that's one thing you've done. But the other thing where I think you have a leg up in fact, is what was the last time Chuck Laurie or Steve Leviton had to really think about what they were gonna do next and plot accordingly. You know, like both of them just go to CS and say, get me a get me, you know, get me a show on Hulu. And they do. Like, but that's not like how people in real, in real life behave.Michael Jamin:Yeah. I, that's one I talked about with my wife. She goes, well, yeah, but that, those are the superstars you can talk to. You can speak to what does it mean to be a working writer who's not a superstar? Who'sBryan Behar:That's, that's a hundred percent right. It's a little insulting that our wives know about people who are superstars and they, they tend to usually be taller, um, Who had a here, but like, um, I don't, I don't know that Steve Levitator or Chuck Laurie or you know, or Larry David is gonna speak as, you know, as succinctly or as I impactfully as you do about, you know, the like day to day mechanics of breaking in, building a career, keeping a job. And those are, you know, those are the things that I talk about day to day. And, and now I've moved on to the third, you know, the third thing, which is how do I build like a sort of a purposeful life outside of the writer's room, right. And, and try to use the skills that I developed or the knowledge that I accrued and either help others or, you know, game satisfaction for myself. And I'm, you know, trying really hard to still do both without, you know, the, you know, the old crutches that I used to have, which is, you know, getting laughs from a, from a gaggle of Jews,Michael Jamin:It's so,Bryan Behar:And JBMichael Jamin:N JB, we, um, you know, I, when people, they'll comment on social media, sometimes I'll, I'll make a post and then I guess people are, I dunno if they're being argumentative or just trying to impress me or whatever, but they'll say, yeah, but Quentin Tarantino says, and I'm like, Quentin Tarantino is anybody just, is anyone mistaking you for Quentin Tarantino ? Yeah. No, I mean, have his career,Bryan Behar:But I mean, but they're, they're, I mean, it's beyond annoying, but that's always been the case. I remember like my, one of my first or second jobs running into like, the wife of someone I went to college with, and she's like, why aren't you on Seinfeld or South Park? That's what we watch. Yeah. You don't watch the shows you're on. It's like, okay, first of all, like, you're a viewer. You didn't create either of those shows unless you're, unless you change your name to Matt Stone. Like you're not those people. So like, pipe down a little. I said, secondly, you have to think about this. Like, it's the nba, like, hey, like I'm coming out of college, I wanna be on the Lakers. Who gives a fuck what you want? You were drafted by the Pelicans. Like, like, we don't get to choose where we write.Yeah. Like, oh, Tarantino said like, okay, you're not Tarantino. Like, trust me, I'm doing better than you are. So like , you know, I mean, yes. But that, I mean, that's gone on forever and ever. I'll tell you a story. My grandmother re she rested me. She just, she passed away a year ago and she ended up being, she lived in 99 years and eight months and ended up dying as a very kind person for like the first 95 years. She wasn't Right. And like, she would admit that, and like, we had no relationship and like on, I, I had been on four jobs at the time. Um, and on all four she told me how much she didn't like the show. I was on . So she invited Beth and I out for dinner. I hope it wasn't Glen Martin . No, no, no, no, no. That would've been later that she didn't like, okay, what's, she's like, who watches Claymation ?Why is there a laugh track? Scooby . But she, so she invites Beth and I have to dinner with her and her, her boyfriend. Um, and she's like, oh, that show that Then Stacy, I hated that show. And I'm like, oh, well I'm on a different show now. Oh, I don't like that show either. Okay. And I literally said, grandma, like I, I'm happy to tell you that before I, right before I came to dinner today, I came, I'm coming directly from a meeting. I had just had a meeting on Frazier. Uhhuh. Now Frazier at the time had just won the me for Best comedy five years in a row. Right. Anything's gonna oppress her. And she goes, Ugh. She goes, I hate that show. That's a dumb show, . So I say to myself, okay, and I turn to Beth, like, she can see that I'm soothing, and Beth and I are Huling and I'm like, the woman doesn't know anything about television.She's an older, she's an older Jewish woman from a different era. She's not gonna like anything you do. She, she knows nothing about television. I was like, you're right. That's why would I get myself upset? She knows nothing. And then she says, why don't you write something like David Kelly mm-hmm. . And then the boyfriend says, it's David E. Kelly. And then I realized, no, she knew a tremendous amount about television shouldn't . Like she knew chapter in verse, everything that he had written from Allie McBeal to picket fences. She just didn't like what I was doing. Right. , I don't remember, I don't remember how we got to this, but Oh, annoying people telling us our credits aren't good enough. Right. It's like, yeah. Like, I remember, I remember when people were on Raymond for the, you know, all nine years, and I'd be like, these lucky SAPs, like had, they haven't had to go through anything that we've gone through.They got one job. They had a, they had to go to a few movie nights on a Sunday with Phil Rosenthal never eat dinner there. Yeah. And to get nine years of fat paychecks. And that's just not, that wasn't our experience, but our experience certainly prepared us for more kinds of experiences. And I, and it certainly behooved me, I believe when it, when it was time to run a show, you know, I definitely had far more of an awareness of what I wanted a room to feel like mm-hmm. , uh, what I wanted it not to feel like specifically. Yeah. Uh, you know, based on having had so many different kinds of experiences. And that's, that's like 0.2 that I alw
