Send us a Text Message.The band Rehab originated in Warner Robins, GA, in the 1970s, with Danny Boone Alexander's musical upbringing playing a pivotal role. Influenced by the music his family played, including Johnny Paycheck's “Take This Job and Shove It,” and memorable experiences like listening to “Sky Rockets in Flight” at the Crazy 8 Race Track during the Bicentennial, Danny's passion for music was evident from a young age. Initially drawn to rock and southern rock, his musical tastes broadened with the emergence of the Beastie Boys, Run DMC, and NWA, cementing his love for hip hop. Danny's first rap performance was at 15 during a high school pep rally, igniting his pursuit of a music career.In his late teens, Danny began working professionally with his friend Denny “Steaknife” Campbell under the name "Prime Suspect." The duo's collaboration led to the formation of Rehab after meeting Jason Brooks. Despite Steaknife's legal troubles, Danny and Jason signed with Epic Records, releasing “Southern Discomfort” in 2000. The album featured contributions from Goodie Mob's Cee-Lo and Big Gipp, as well as Cody Chesnutt, selling over 140,000 copies and reaching the top 15 of the Modern Rock charts with “It Don't Matter.” They toured nationally, sharing stages with Linkin Park and the Kottonmouth Kings during the Vans Warped Tour.Following creative differences, Danny and Brooks parted ways, and Rehab was revitalized in 2005. The band recorded “Graffiti the World” with notable contributors like Bonecrusher, Phil Tan, and Billy Hume. The album was initially released independently until Danny signed with Universal Records in 2008. A collaboration with Hank Williams Jr. on “Sittin' at a Bar” garnered a CMT nomination for Wide-Open Country Video of the Year in 2009. Rolling Stone featured Rehab's renamed single, “The Bartender Song,” on its "Hot List." The track has achieved platinum status six timeswww.BetterHelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.

Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we're going to discuss some pretty wild events. Now it's been a few weeks since our last episode and I'd like to formally apologize to you for that. Life gets in the way. Some new adventures that I have been pursuing simultaneously. So just trying to juggle it all while we go through some changes. Here on the Adams archive as well. So thank you for sticking around. I'm glad you're here today because we're going to discuss some wild shit, and I will even give you the update on everything that I've been working on in the background. And if you follow me on social media, you might be privy to it already. So we'll discuss that, which is pretty cool. But first, we're going to discuss Joe Rogan having a guest on just one month ago, who has now been found to have had a severed head in his freezer. Thanks So we'll discuss that, obviously. The next thing we're going to discuss is going to be the bill that may make TikTok unavailable in the United States as it quickly advances in the House. Now, this isn't a new idea. This is something that's been discussed before. This is bills that were presented by Donald Trump prior to this. This is no new conversation, but we'll discuss why it might be interesting in the conversation today. After that, we're going to have a discussion about some deeper and a little bit darker topics. And as always, the more you stick around, the darker and deeper things generally get. So as we segue from those conversations, we're going to move into a conversation about a few more recent celebrities that are exposing the elites the same way that Jeffrey Epstein did. Now, in a couple of different manners, one calling it out in a way that is seemingly, I would say positive, you know, positive in the meaning that they are not a part of it, and the other being a part of it. And you may know these names, one being the famous boxer Ryan Garcia, and the other being P. Diddy. Some pretty crazy stuff going on there, which is Stuff we'll get into. I'll give you a brief synopsis, which is the fact that Ryan Garcia, famous boxer, young, good looking dude, 200 something boxing matches, unbelievable boxer, has had a recent tirade on X where he just goes off about Bohemian Grove, saying that he was tied up by guys in black robes and made to watch some horrific events. Again, at Bohemian Grove. So. pretty crazy stuff. We'll look at the tweets, we'll look at the videos that he actually talks about these things, and that will move us into a conversation about P Diddy. P Diddy is having a more recent judicial situation where a former producer that he worked with, Lil Rod, seems to be the all time worst rapper name ever. It almost seems satirical, but I digress. Lil Rod has filed a lawsuit against P. Diddy as well as Universal Records and a bunch of other people in association with what seems to be a honeypot Trap, similar to what Jeffrey Epstein was doing. And they actually named Jeffrey Epstein in the doc documents in the court documents of this 73 page document, which I'll actually walk you through. I have it. I highlighted that I went through it, did my research for you guys. So I will share all of that with you as well in the show notes today. So you can actually take a look at it. All right, then. That's it. All right. So that will be our discussion for today. Go ahead, hit the subscribe button, leave a five star review. And before I jump into it, let me tell you what I've been up to. So I have recently launched the pre sale of my new company called Ronin and Ronin is a Faraday goods company. And you might say, what the hell is a Faraday Goods Company? And that's a good question, because I didn't know what it was up until four months ago. Four months ago, I did a deep dive, and you may have recalled the episode that I did on 5G and EMF radiation. And ever since then, it's just been bothering me. The, the amount of data that we discussed, the amount of harmful effects of these things, and, and also, Simultaneously, while I was doing that, we started to hear more and more about it. Joe Rogan's been talking about EMF radiation. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been talking about Wi Fi radiation poisoning. 5G's been talked about by people like Andrew Huberman, who's also talked about EMF radiation from your cell phone. So, Faraday products are products that protect you from the EMF radiation that's happening all around you all of the time. Very likely on the thing that you're listening to right now is also doing this to you, which has, has very harmful effects, including cancer causing blood clots, DNA damage, tons and tons of things like that. And there's only one way to protect yourself. And it's called Faraday products and Faraday products are a specially lined material that Pretty decently difficult to source. And so you can find apparel, you can find hats to protect your, your, you know, most important asset. There's a lot of different utilizations for these things, but what Ronan will be doing is we'll be offering EMF radiation protection. Apparel and hats, starting with hats. Okay. So we'll be coming out with 10 foil hats, kind of like tinfoil hats, but a little bit better. And these will be baseball hats and beanies that will protect you from EMF radiation. We'll also be coming out with Faraday backpacks. Now, again, I said, there's a couple of uses for Faraday products. One being apparel and protecting yourself from wifi radiation and EMF radiation from your cell phones and 5g. The other being that it completely shields all inbound and outbound communication signals. So, one thing that we know about this cell phone that we all have right here is that it's tracking you everywhere that you go. Who's using that information you might ask? Well, corporations, governments, and even just nefarious types of individuals all around the country and the world. They'll track you, they'll take your data, they'll steal your private photos and videos and leverage them against you, they can steal your credit and debit cards, they can do all sorts of atrocious things, unless you have a Faraday device. Product to put that in. So Ronan will be creating backpacks, Faraday backpacks in which you drop your laptop, your cell phone, your iPad, your wallet, whatever it is, and it completely shields all inbound and outbound signals, making you just basically vanish from all of those tracking technologies that are following you every single place that you go. Alright, there's a limited time pre sale of these products. I do not have them in my possession. I am ordering them in an initial pre sale order for you guys. And it's only going to be people who follow me on social media and people who buy them. Listen to the podcasts that are available for this presale. Okay? There's limited spots available. I already did the presale launch on Instagram and a few other social media, so there's a few spots left that I wanted to get out to you guys as well. So I'll include Ronan's presale link in the show notes for you. I've never promoted basically anything on this podcast, and I don't know how many episodes I never ask for you guys to, to, you know. Support some outside company, but I will ask you to support my company, and I truly believe in the mission that Ronan has, which is going to be to create harmony between the harmful technology and the pace of innovation and technology today, and actually providing you with a healthy lifestyle surrounding those things that we're not just going to get rid of. Okay, so I do ask you if you are interested in these things, go order the presale. It'll be the first thing in the show notes. Go check it out. Click that link, join the presale launch, and I would appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. All right, that's what I got for you right now. Now, without further ado, let's jump right in. Into it, the Adams Archive. All right. The very first topic that we're gonna be discussing today is going to be that Joe Rogan had a guest on his podcast just one month ago, who has now had been found to have a severed head in his freezer, along with a torso in a bla or a blue. bin that he was toting around that there's photo evidence of him Toting this bin around through a door. So let's go ahead and read this article And let's find out what this is really about now the individual in question here with somebody who is a former, former inmate, and he's, was on the podcast with Josh Dubin, and I've actually loved the podcast with Joe Rogan and Josh Dubin, where essentially what he does, Josh Dubin is a advocate and a lawyer who basically brings on people who are wrongful convictions. and gets them out of jail and then starts this conversation about wrongful convictions and, and how a large percentage of individuals who are in jail right now could very well be innocent. And so they, his organization does an amazing thing, which they go through all of the, the different cases that they're sent. They do some deep dives into the information that are there, and then they help get these people out, which is an amazing thing. I love the work that Josh Dubin does, but. Maybe in this instance, they should have left this guy in jail. Okay. So Sheldon Johnson, a former Joe Rogan show guest is a 48 year old youth counselor for the Queens defenders who spent 25 years in prison for attempted murder and robbery. And he was introduced on the Joe Rogan experience in February by his friend, Perlmutter Center from Legal Justice executive director, Josh Dubin. And he was saying that he was a marvelous human being who was wronged by the system. Johnson was also photographed shaking hands with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. However, less than a year after his release from prison, Johnson was arrested in New York on Thursday after police found a severed head in his apartment freezer and a torso stashed in a bin. The victim, identified as 44 year old Colin Small, spent time in the same prison as Johnson and may have had a beef with him, according to the New York Post. Small was reportedly heard by neighbors pleading for his life on Tuesday evening before several gunshots rang out. In security footage following the incident, Johnson could be seen carrying cleaning supplies in a blue bin to the apartment where Small's remains were found, before leaving in a blonde wig. Great disguise. Rogan received criticism from viewers when the episode with Johnson aired with critics accusing Rogan and Dubin of downplaying Johnson's violent criminal history. Very interesting Now, I'm pretty sure I've listened to this episode I know I've listened to several episodes with Josh Dubin and again really like the work that he's done I'm not sure if this is the individual that I'm thinking of that I listened to last But I'll definitely go back and listen to this one because this is a wild situation, right? It's like Even if this guy wasn't guilty and maybe this is the argument that could be made around this is that jail prison time Makes you a terrible person it can find you it turns you into an animal All you are is surrounded by people who are violent criminals who are absolutely the the And even, and this isn't to detract from the fact that there are wrongful convictions, and that the for profit prison system is the absolute worst thing in the world, that causes hundreds of thousands, if not millions of families a year to be in agony, agony, for no good reason. I've stated my positions on the justice system before, as somebody who was, you know, planning on going into the justice system and becoming a lawyer, criminal defense lawyer, my take on the entirety of this. And the reason I wanted to go be a criminal defense lawyer is because I don't believe in the justice system in the way that it stands today. I believe there's so many wrongful convictions. And I feel like even the ones that are convicted, are generally convicted for profitable corporations, and not because it's a true way to help them better themselves and their lives and be a better person for themselves. In society. I don't think that happens. I think there's a very, very marginal percentage of people that come out of jail as a better person or come out of prison as a better person as when they went in there. I just don't think it happens. There's no system, there's no processes in place that cause that to be the case. There's no reform that's happening. It's a place to essentially imprison people, to throw them in a jail cell and allow them to be a number that corporations can profit off of. And so, to me In this situation, let's go back to the original discussion being had here, which is that in this situation, even if he wasn't guilty here, even if he wasn't an attempted murderer, as he was convicted for prior to him getting out for a wrongful conviction, they very well, in prison, could have made him this way, just shown by the fact that the person that he went after and murdered was actually somebody that went to jail with him, went to prison with him. And so, that to me, it shows that like, It didn't help, did it? Even if he, and let's just say he wasn't the person who committed that initial crime, it made him the type of person that they made him out to be to begin with. Even if he wasn't. And he probably was, now that we know he's this type of, he's got this in him. That's some gangster shit, but for sure, for sure, Seems like he did this one. I don't think he's getting out of this one at all. All right. So a pretty wild situation. I wonder what this I wonder what Joe Rogan's response will be to this because that's a not a good look for Josh Dubin. I wonder what Josh Dubin's response to this as I wonder if he's come out and had some some conversations because Joe Rogan as there's very few guests that Joe Rogan has said or had on consistently. Joe Rogan has Josh Dubin on his podcast at least once a quarter. And he says that he does that because he believes in the cause. He says that he does that because he believes that there is a injustice happening in our justice system. Absolutely is. And I agree with him 100%. This isn't a good look though. There's probably, there's probably I don't know, a hundred situations that could have been bad that couldn't have been this bad of a look for them. So anyways, wild situation. I'm sure there's going to be more information that comes out in this. There was some photos that leaked that showed this, Interesting stuff. So I didn't go and find any clips. I doubt there's going to be anything that like alludes to this or is even interesting compared to this. But, I would say you should still go check out Josh Dubin's situation and his organization that he leads there. Because they still do good stuff despite, I don't know, getting a man out of prison who severed another man's head. Not a good look. Anyways, all right. So the next thing that we're going to discuss here is going to be that there is a new bill looking to ban tick tock and, and it says the measure gained the support of house speaker, Mike Johnson on Thursday and could soon come up for a full vote in the house. I don't know why I said vote like that vote. Podcast when this happened. A couple years ago, and I'll tell you my position on this. I haven't read really much into this. We'll read it together and we'll, we'll kind of have a real reaction for you here. Cause I don't know the context of this bill or why they're trying to pass it personally. I do know that the last time it was because there's like military and, and espionage happening in there and situations where they're tracking our military members and leveraging the data against them. And, and they believe that it's a security issue with our own civilians, that they're gathering all this data and they're, they're infiltrating our youth and putting in all of these themes of like terrible societal constructs that are, are degrading our society as a whole. I don't disagree with any of those, but I also don't think that tick tocks the only one doing that and I also think that if our government is going out of their way to pass a bill because they're concerned about the security measures and the spying and the, the, the utilization of data weaponization of data, right? So if our government's concerned about China weaponizing tick tocks data against our citizens and surveilling us. utilizing that technology. What I should be far more concerned about and what you should be far more concerned about is the fact that our government uses every social media platform to do the very same thing. They just don't like it when other people do it to us too. It's like, if they're concerned about other other governments weaponizing social media against our citizens, it's because they're already doing it. It's because they know what they can do with that. Information and we already know that they're connected, right? We already know the information came out about the FBI connections with Facebook Instagram Surrounding the election. We already know that they essentially had the the twitter files and stuff you know after the twitter files were released that they were working with all of the three letter agencies and the government organizations and the White house and they all had a basically a secret email thread where they were telling people a specific post to take down and I'm sure several of mine were one of them Absolutely, because the second I posted a video about Hunter Biden and the whole situation, I think I pulled it from InfoWars, and I reposted it on my Instagram, I was vanished, gone. So shadowbanned for I think about seven or eight months. It really like crushed my momentum. With the podcast with the Instagram with everything very disheartening it hurt my feelings a bit But I bet say about eight months you couldn't search my account. You couldn't find any of my videos there would get no view It was terrible. I had like 30 something thousand followers at the time. It wasn't like I did nobody followed me. It was pretty wild But anyways, let's go ahead and read this bill. That's my take on it is essentially if they're concerned about it Somebody else doing it to us. It's because they already know and are doing it ten times worse than what they're doing it They're thinking China's doing it to us for right. Anyways, a bill that could lead to the popular video sharing app. TikTok being unavailable in the United States is quickly gaining traction in the house as lawmakers voiced their concerns about the potential for the platform to surveil and manipulate Americans. Could you imagine a government surveilling and manipulating American citizens with social media platforms? No way. Say it ain't so. We better get that TikTok out of here. Because there's no way our American social media platforms do that to us. It's only those Chinese communists over there that that surveil and manipulate Americans with social media. The measure gained support of House Speaker Mike Johnson and could soon come up for a full vote in the House. The bill advanced out of committee Thursday and unanimous bipartisan vote 50 to nothing. Wow. I find a another bill that's passed like that in a while. The White House has provided technical support in the drafting of the bill. The White House Press Secretary Kain Jean Pierre said that TikTok legislation still needs some work to get to a place where the President, Joe Biden will endorse it. Yeah, because you know, if you go read that bill right now, it's probably like, yeah, we'll ban TikTok and we'll also allow another 3 million immigrants to come into our country and also vote. The bill takes a two pronged approach. First, it would require ByteDance, which is based in Beijing, to divest TikTok and other applications it controls within 180 days of enactment of the bill. Or those applications will be prohibited in the United States. Second, it creates a narrow process to let the executive branch prohibit access to an app owned by a foreign adversary if it possesses a threat to national security. It's an important bipartisan measure to take on China, our largest geo geopolitical foe, which is actively undermining our economy and security. I think we're actively undermining our economy and our security. Just as much as China is. Our critics also claim the app could be used to spread misinformation beneficial to Beijing. Former President Donald Trump attempted to ban TikTok through executive order, but the courts blocked the action after TikTok sued, arguing that actions would violate free speech and due process rights. Hmm. So interesting that all these things that Donald Trump tried to do four years ago Biden's trying to do now, build a wall. Don't do that. Well, now Biden's saying that we should build a wall. Ban TikTok. No, don't do that. Oh, well, now Biden's trying to ban TikTok. It's like everything that Trump foresaw and tried to attempt to do. That was, Like defaced and demeaned by the Democrats is now being enacted as if it was their own idea. Just like how in the State of the Union Address, Joe Biden was sitting there acting like he wanted immigrants to not immigrate. Jump over our border. Like basically saying we're, we're going to protect our border. Like, Oh really? Cause you were the very person that allowed this to happen over the last two years. And now that we're coming up on an election and we have essentially the same amount of illegal immigrants that have entered our country as the total population of 33 States. That's how many immigrants that we have in our country today is the, They total up to the same amount of population that we have had over our borders in the last, since Joe Biden started in office, 33 states worth of populations of individuals that are now in our country, undocumented, illegal aliens. Hmm. Critics also claim that the app could be used to spread misinformation beneficial to Beijing. TikTok raised similar concerns about the legislation gaining momentum in the house. This bill is an outright ban of TikTok, no matter how much the authors try to disguise it. This legislation will trample the First Amendment rights of 170 million Americans and deprive five million small businesses of a platform that they rely on to grow and create jobs, the company said. Yeah, I really don't think that TikTok cares about the First Amendment, to be fair. The bill's author, Republican Mike Gallagher, the Republican chairman for the Special House Committee, focused on China, rejected TikTok's assertion of a ban. Rather, he said it's an effort to force a change in TikTok's ownership. He also took issue with TikTok urging some users to call their representatives and urge them to vote no on the bill. I did see that, that there was a big there was like a, a, a notification on TikTok, That's having all of the users of TikTok send or call their representatives. It says the notification that urged TikTok users to speak up now before your government strips 170 million Americans of their constitutional right to free expression. The notification also warns that the ban of TikTok would damage millions of businesses and destroy the lives of countless creators across the country. Today, it's about, it's about our bill, and it's not intimidating members considering that bill. But tomorrow it could be misinformation or lies about an election, about a war, about any number of things Gallagher said. This is why we can't take a chance of having a dominant news platform in America controlled or owned by a company that is behold of the Chinese Communist Party and their foremost adversary. Now, I don't disagree there. I just don't think that's the sentiment of this. I just think that if you were concerned about that, you just, you know, honestly get rid of all social media platforms. Our world would be much better. And I, this is an avid user of social media. That's how I've grown my podcast. That's how you know about me, likely. Get rid of it. It'd be better for my children, it'd be better for your children, it'd be better for your grandchildren, it'd be better for our country. Get rid of all social media. It's a fucking cancer on our population, on our society as a whole. It's terrible for children, it's terrible for adults, it makes people lazy, it sucks up all of your time, and it hijacks your dopamine system so that you feel the need to, like, I'm just as guilty of it, like, pffft. I try to be better about it, but just like everybody else, I'm just as guilty about it. And sometimes I sit there just and I go on tiktok. I go on instagram now and it's like just Maybe the way that I you know, I consume my feed and and for this podcast and stuff, but it's just political bullshit I don't know. What's more fake american politics or Pro wrestling like it's it's so irritating even though a lot of the influencers a lot of the the top people in the Republican influencer space and the Democratic influencer space. They're all full of shit They're all being pushed to you know, say certain things about certain topics and they're all being paid to do So they're all terrible at marketing with their shitty t shirt companies. They're, they're all just repost bullshit videos that are regurgitated from other accounts without any value or narration on them. It's just trash, like, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash. That's all social media is. And so, yeah, sure, ban TikTok, but ban Instagram and Meta and, and, you know, Axe, ban them all. Get rid of them. We don't need them. Let's, let's, let's use a fucking phone to call somebody instead, like, let's, let's go back, right? Like, you wanna talk about, you know conservativism? Let's get rid of those, get off my lawn! You know? Anyways, as I get older, I just have come to accept the fact that I'm an angry old man. And that's okay. I think that's probably the right way to be in today's society anyways. All right. Not sure what's going on there. Okay, cool. So let's move into the Ryan Garcia situation. So Ryan Garcia, professional boxer, has come out on, on a Instagram, or I'm sorry, a ex tirade, tirade, calling out celebrities. Dropping names like Oprah Winfrey, saying that he was tied down in a forest by men in black robes and forced to watch some horrific acts conducted on children. And I'm sorry, like trigger warning, whatever you want to say, there's some terrible stuff here, guys. I'm sorry. It's not like if you want to skip ahead 15 minutes, but it's, it's, it's pretty serious stuff. So the Ryan Garcia. Pro boxer, very, very active, has a fight April 20th. Now some people are saying that he's doing this to promote his fight. I don't think so. If you hear this guy's voice and you know what he's going through right now, I don't think that he's faking this for fight promotion. I also just don't think he's that smart. He's had 240 pro boxing matches. So he's probably has a lot of brain damage too. Now I don't think that means or diminishes anything that he's saying because everything he's saying we already know to be true. We know that. All of the celebrities and politicians and most powerful people in the world meet in Bohemian Grove, or at least they did. Till it was infiltrated and now everybody knows where it's at and how to get there. But at least they did, right? I think who was it? It wasn't Kennedy. Was it Truman? I think it was Truman said that it was the most faggoty place on earth. That is a direct quote from a former president that Bohemian Grove is the most faggoty place on earth. Excuse my 2020, you know 2010 language there's apparently we're not allowed to say that anymore, but the president said it So, you know blame him not me anyways And so what this, if you don't know about Bohemian Grove, it's a whole rabbit hole and I'm sure I've done a whole episode on it at least once, or had some deep dives into it. Essentially all these politicians and all these most powerful people in the world, very well known, been infiltrated, we know this happens, they all go there, they dress up in robes, they gather around this owl statue, this like 30 foot tall owl statue. Might be exaggerated, but it's probably pretty close to that huge owl statue. And then they light on fire while they're in a circle in their robes with masks on this effigy that is supposed to be a sacrifice to the owl God or Malak, right? The, the, Baphomet, the, you know, the evil entities of the world. They're doing a satanic ritual out in the woods. Very well known, well documented, Go Google it. Alex Jones at one point infiltrated it with a video camera and found them doing this effigy, found it happening live. So you can go go do that research. It's there. It's real thing. Okay, so he talks about it and says that he was brought there, taken by men in black robes, and I'll let you him tell you some of it here. All right, here you go. I don't give a fuck any. Hold on one second here, guys. Anymore where all right here we go. Hey, bro. All right. Talk to us. Oh, I don't give a fuck bro. They help Okay, and so this was after an initial release of, so I'll start from the beginning before I play this video for you. It needs a little bit of context. Ryan Garcia said that his phone was taken from him, that he was forced, his money was taken from him, all this stuff. He posted a video, like there was a video saying, it's kind of a weird situation, it was like, we got him, we slid his throat, something like that. On Ryan Garcia's Twitter, like they, they took over his Twitter. They said he still has his, their, his Instagram. We slit his throat, 666, Satan, the devil, whatever. It was like this super weird, random tweet that went out. Okay. That happened like 12 hours later, after some people thought he was dead. Ryan Garcia posts a video. And in this video, he looks completely disheveled. He looks like traumatized and he basically says, I'm okay, guys. I can't really talk about what's going on, but I'm okay. Just wanted to let you know, I'm not dead. Okay, then he starts to release information about Bohemian Grove and what these people did. Andrew Tate then goes on and says, let's do a live, I'll let you share your story. They jump on a live and here you go. They made me watch little kids get raped. I don't give a fuck anymore. Where? Bro, they fucking took me to the fucking woods, bro, and they fucking tied I'm not fucking joking, bro. I have fucking proof, bro. I don't give a fuck. Bro, I fucking will show you every fucking video you could ever fucking believe. Bohemian Grove is real. They fucking tied me down and they made me fucking watch, dawg. I absolutely don't give a fuck anymore. Yes, I fucking lost it. They're raping little kids. He doesn't want to take us all, so let's go. Come on, Ryan. He doesn't want to take us all. Bro, fuck this dude, dude. Who? Who? Bro, you know the higher elites, bro. You already know who they are, bro. You know the path you're going down is dangerous, my friend. I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. They can't touch me. I'm a god. Well, that's the first point of contention, because I care about you a lot, and I can assure you, from my own personal experience, that they can touch you, which is the worst part about it. Bro, no, they can't, bro. Alright, so come touch me, you fucking bitch. You have proof of these things on You have proof of this on your phone? Yes, of course I do. The fuck you talking about? Of course. If Alex could get a fucking video from the Bohemian Grove, of course I could. Well, I have to be careful what I say, because I'm in the middle of a judicial process right now. You want me to get you out of it? Bro, my door gets kicked in if I say what I'm thinking. Okay, well I can help you get out of it if you want. I know people. Tell everyone at home then. Start from the beginning. When did this happen? Where did this happen? What exactly did you see? Why have you tweeted the things you've tweeted? Let people at home understand you. Because I don't give a fuck, bro. They rate me, right? I was two years old, they rate me. I have proof of that too. Why have you tweeted the things you've tweeted? So you have to honestly appreciate Andrew Tate. Like, you know, I love everybody shits on Andrew Tate. I've shit on Andrew Tate rightfully in some situations, but you have to appreciate the way he's organizing Ryan's thoughts, right? He's obviously much more articulate, much better at having a conversation than the emotionally heightened state, at least that Ryan's in right now. So again, you have to appreciate about how he's going about this. Even saying that, you know, be careful the path that you're going down, my friend, this is a dangerous one and they can touch you. You're not untouchable. You're not a God. They can get you. And that's the scary part, he says. So here we go. Tweeted the things you've tweeted. Let people at home understand you a little bit more. Because I don't give a fuck, bro. They rate me, right? I was two years old, they rate me. I have proof of that too. That's where it all started, bro. Jeez. Okay, you do know there's going to be certain people who believe and I'm Ryan, you know, I like you speaking for years, you know, there's going to be people who believe you're just saying this because you've, I don't know, had a mental breakdown or taking drugs and you're repeating some of the things you've said on the internet and they're going to not believe you unless you come at it very coherently. Andrew, Andrew, I'll go to the fucking Romania and take a drug test in front of your face. Bro, you don't want to come here. You don't need to remain in jail. It's not your fight camp. But I'm just asking, like, you're gonna have to tell a far more coherent story from start to finish for people to truly understand that. What you're saying happened is what you saw and that this is not some sort of episode or anything else. This is my advice to you as a brother. I'm trying to make it, if you want people to believe you, you're gonna have to come along and explain from the absolute beginning exactly how it happened, who was involved, how you got there, what car you were in, where you were standing, everything. Of course they're gonna want that and I have all the information possible. Okay, so when you're releasing it, how you're releasing it, or are you keeping it for yourself? Because it looks like you don't want to keep it for yourself. I don't. At the right time I'm gonna release all of it, but at the right time I'm gonna do it. They're already calling me to tell me to stop. I don't give a fuck, dude. I've already had a meeting with them. I'm gonna let you sit with that, Andrew. With who? All right, bro. Well, I want you to know that either way, I'm praying for you, and I hope that Thank you, bro. You know, and I mean that. I don't give a fuck, bro. Alex Jones has been saying the same shit, and they try to get The only reason they can't stop me, because they listen to the devil. I listen to God. God gave me authority. It's over for everybody, bro. Now, again, to Andrew Tate's point, and you probably won't hear me say that very often, but he does seem to be in some type of Mental breakdown, but obviously, you know, just by the way he's speaking is very Emotionally heightened his voice is shaky, but wouldn't you be Like, if you were sitting in front of, when this was going on, there's 26, 000 people hearing you talk about being raped as a child, like, wouldn't you feel that way? Wouldn't you be heightened emotionally? Wouldn't you have a mental breakdown if that happened? Like, and again, nothing he's saying is crazy. We already know that these things were happening. We already know Epstein was real. We already know Bohemian Grove is a super creepy, weird place where they have satanic rituals. And, you know, To, to Andrew Tate's point though, like, are you just puppeting, are you, are you just parroting the situations that you hear online? Are you just parroting what, the information that you have heard from other people talk about and just like stringing these together? But why, why would you do that? Why, why, what would be the purpose of that? That, that's not going to help him. You know, it's, it's really not good PR for his fight that he says that, and, and honestly, no man's going to come out and say, I got raped. Like, there's very little of the, you know, Me Too situation happening in men in highly visible spaces. And we'll find that out more with what we see with P. Diddy. And the Lil Rod situation coming up is like, this guy was tormented for years by this man. Lived with him and didn't speak up because that's like, not generally what men do in this situation. It's just not. Especially people who are very in the public eye. It's, it's, it's embarrassing, I'm sure. And, and something that you have to contend with in a different way, especially when you're highly visible like these people are. So again, you would have a mental breakdown. You would be heightened emotionally. You would stutter over your words and be, you know, use a bunch of swear words when you're talking and like, You would do those things, regardless, so I don't think that detracts from his opinion, and I don't, you know, this guy's also had a bunch of fights, so I don't think he's like the most articulate person in the world, I'm sure he has some serious head trauma, but I don't think that means that he's not telling the truth. And so, As we go further into this, let's go ahead and read some of the tweets that came from him. Now there was a whole 25 minute live that he did that I listened into. You can go to his Twitter right now and listen in. He did a full live video. You know, maybe I'll play a few minutes of that for you guys here. But the most recent conversation that he had is, is this one, which says that I'm not talking about anything else other than fighting. He's in the fight camp right now. He has a fight in the, like six weeks or so. So. Let me start you from the timeline beginning. Here is the video that I was talking about if it's still up of him essentially saying I'm, okay. I'm alive. They took my phone. Okay. Here's where it starts Hey guys, it's me ryan I'm here to explain what's going on I'm, not in possession of my phone. I can't get access to my instagram My cards are locked And i'm just being real Oh, you know I'm being real, taking advantage, and I personally wanted just to send out a video to the people that love me and my fans, family that's concerned that I'm okay. I'm not dead. I believe in Jesus. All those are lies. And, you know, in jail, they're blocking my cards. I can't access my money. Nobody's hitting me back. I don't know what's going on, but just know I'm okay, look. He was being targeted by some organization or some group of people that are obviously somewhat powerful if they can get into all of his accounts, if they can freeze all of his bank accounts, if they can get into all of his social media accounts, if they can cut off his communication with everybody at one time. It's obviously a pretty powerful entity, right? It's not just some random guy next door. And you see the look on his face. He looks, like I said, disheveled. He looks concerned. He looks like meek, almost. Which is not generally the case for a guy with 250 pro boxing fights. Like you just hear it in the sound of his voice. He sounds a little scared. Which rightfully, if somebody goes onto your account and says they slit your throat, it freezes your bank accounts, all that stuff at one time. So, and this is where it all started. This is where it all got triggered to, to begin. And it sounds like from there, he's just like, all right, And he's going to just say everything that happened that he's been holding back in fear of these organizations that are potentially going after him. And that's speculation, but that's what it seems like to me. It seems to be some, you know, you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to kind of take that out of the context of what's happening. Now he posted a bunch of other things. that all got deleted. Now, I don't know if he deleted them. He says that they got deleted off of X, but I do have those tweets and I'll read them to you. It says, if they post my phone, I will post on someone else's. It's in plain sight. It's trying, I'm trying to screen record the rules of devil worshiping and they are deleting it. Can someone DM me their account info so I can tweet? They are going to attempt to stop me. I'm going to set up a drive a live drug test to prove that I'm not trippin I feel like crying because i'm giving everyone info. They already know but they refuse to believe do you want proof now? I'll get it asap he said If they take my phone, I will post on someone else's. More you ask, or what's up? It's that three Disney workers, school athletic, he posted screenshots. Three Disney workers, school athletic director among 219 arrested in Florida human trafficking sting. Wow. And that was posted from 2023 September. So just a few months ago, he said, please help send prayers. I'm calling all prayer warriors. You think you'd be you think you'd be quiet if they killed kids and showed you and did it over and over. I'm done. I have lost it. And so have you. My pain is unbearable. I can't describe I will be killed soon. Hurry find you think you you think you'd be quiet if they killed kids and showed you and did it over and over and over. I'm done. I've lost it. And so have you. My pain is unbearable. Wow. So, pretty dark stuff there. But then he went on to say that they auction off kids. That's one of the next tweets. He goes on to show that a video from a Bohemian Grove situation. He starts saying that I didn't kill myself. I love God and my kids. I love Jesus. I'm healthy and I have no medical issues for the record. I'm with my wife, Drea. All the other stuff is cap. For you who are not Gen Z, like me, cap means a lie. You're welcome. Let's see what this is. Says I'm changing. Let's see. He brought up the Vatican as well as Oprah Winfrey. He said, how many more kids will y'all allow this to happen to? And then he posted some posts from the Catholic church abusing children. He said, why do you think that in all scary movies, they are always use a priest from Catholic churches because they are molesters and they allow you to disrespect God. Hmm. So wait, I'm the bad guy for calling out an institution that has an unbearable or unbelievable amount of rape and molestation. And I'm the bad guy. I'm the crazy one. So everyone's getting real quiet now. Interesting. He, he, he also said something along the lines of, and I say along the lines of, but I'm just reading it verbatim. They actually have the files on Jesus, the Ark of the Covenant, the giants, the clones, the aliens files on everything. They are the ones. That let me in. Now, again, sounds pretty crazy in the way that he's going on this, like, tirade, back to back to back to back to back tweets. You know, I have my beliefs on almost every one of the things that he said there, which are definitely reasonable. Clones, check, we know that. Ark of the Covenant, super weird and interesting situation there. The Giants, we talked about the Nephilim. Alien files, we know that to be true. But when you put it in this unarticulate way, where it just sounds like you're ranting like crazy, it does sound crazy. Because when you put it all together, it is crazy. But it is crazy when you put it all together. But bitch, we live in a crazy world. All of these things have a potential of being true. But he's just not very good at discussing it. At least in a way that's believable, right? So he keeps going on and on talks about Gaza, all of this and that. So, so after a little bit, he does have a live that he's like, all right, come on here. Ask me anything. I'll play a little bit, just a couple minutes of that for you guys and just kind of go move around on the video. So I'm letting anybody ask any question for the time being to whenever we get off. How do we start this? People are coming in. People are coming in. Hello guys. I don't know how to run a space. I don't even know how to do this. How do you do this? How do I let people speak? They said the request, how do you let them speak? Oh, all right. So let's get this part. I'm, I'm, I'm going in on everybody. Wait, Brian, so to all the people that are asking why you don't show the clips, can you answer? No, there's, just so you know, there's 674, 000 listens to this audio. So it's not like this is some random weirdo, right? This guy's very, very well known celebrity athlete. Is there a question for them? I can't show the clips. They're already out there. I mean, there's so many clips. It's unbelievable. I know everybody wants me to put out my evidence, but I can't put out my evidence or else they're going to come after my family. So I choose not to. Oh, you can speak on me. Gummy, whatever your name, Gumi. Gummy don't want to speak. Bro. Oh, there you go. Can you hear me? Yes. Hello. Everybody's like, yo, put the drink down. Okay, fine. I won't fucking drink, but I'm still gonna tell the truth. Sober or not. I have more balls than you. I put my ball sack on everybody. . They told me they're gonna, they told me they're gonna make an example on me that because I say Jesus so much, they're gonna pit me on the cross and they're gonna crucify me in the whole world and say, yep, this is what we do. This is what we do. Hmm. So please help me out. I don't, I mean, if it's that, if that's what's supposed to happen, let God's will be done, not mine. I'm okay with that. And this is the truth. Have I lied about anything else? Nothing. So why would I lie about that? Ryan, I'm a father of two kids. Yes. I'm saying this because I'm worried about my children. Okay. Okay. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep clear. Ryan, listen to me. Listen to me. You know me. I've talked to you about mental health. Don't worry, brother. Nothing's going to happen to me. Here, Patriot speaker. Yes. As I'm going to just add, it's 25 minutes. You can go listen to the full thing. I was like, yeah, I'm serious. Why? So I'm going to commit and I'm going to do it. And I just did it. I was just like, God gave me the authority and the power to do it. And I seized it through amongst all the, the locks and all the people trying to confuse me, throw me off, say, what you're doing is a little this and that. I'm like, who cares? Watch what happens. And look at everything's and Ryan, if they think you, if they think you lying, bro. I just want to drop this on people real quick cause they don't, they don't, you know, I want to put this out there real quick cause I talk about this shit a lot. You got an executive order right now, one three eight one eight. I'll say it again. One three eight one eight that addresses human rights abuse and human trafficking that was done in 2017 and that's why all these motherfucking people coming out the woodworks and shit. And a lot of CEOs and shit stepping down and all this shit. I got the FC names, if you want me to start dropping them. Exactly. Oprah. What? Who cares? I do. What do you mean? That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. And this is, this is all. Alright, so I'll leave that to you. You can listen through that yourself. I don't want to bore you with a 25 minute Twitter space with Some, like I said, less than articulate people discussing these things. But, but I do think that it's worth a listen. There's some value in what he's saying. Again, the delivery is not very well done. And I think that's what Andrew Tate did a good job trying to hone him in a little bit and go tell us your evidence. Tell us why we should believe you. And here's the thing too. Let's say Ryan Garcia is lying. How many celebrities with millions of followers are going out there and even driving awareness to this? So like let's say he wasn't tied down in a forest in Bohemian Grove And maybe he has some mental health issues and maybe those mental health issues are Exacerbated by getting into these rabbit holes that are very very real of very real things happening right now around the world That we know about right we find out more about it with with P Diddy, right? But maybe let's just say he's lying Even if he's lying, even if he's having a mental breakdown, even if he's gone way too far down the rabbit hole and he can't handle the truth of the reality of what these people do to children. Which is a horrific thing and it's put me into terrible, you know, like a depressive state having to do all this research on these things and having to deal with the, the, the reality that these things are real and there's very, you know, horrific things happening right now around the world. I remember when I found out about Operation Underground Railroad and which is the, the movie is written about and this was before the movie came out, there was documentary about Operation Underground Railroad and the things that they were doing. Now, I'm not going to get into a whole thing about the, the situation with the owner and the guy who's depicted in the movie and all of that stuff, because there's a whole candy worms to open up their too. But I watched the documentary before I heard about it from anybody. I knew some people that were involved in these types of these types of task force and had tremendous respect for them and wanted to learn more about it. And as soon as I got done watching that, I was so deep in the hole. That I would have quit everything just to go save and rescue children that I would have joined a task force I actually put it in an application with them to be a part of their their team that goes and does that It's probably still sitting there somewhere where right now and they never got back to me, which is okay, I guess But I was ready to drop everything and I was ready to do something about it What is a more noble task than to save these children going through these things? There is very real situations There's warehouses around the world that that are Have children without social security numbers that are being literally bred for this type of situation. And it's, it's horrible, and I'm not going to take you there right now. But, I will say that it can take you down a very dark, dark path. And you have to be emotionally and mentally stable and capable of handling the knowledge. Because once you learn that, it's very difficult to navigate the everyday world knowing that this is happening underneath the surface. And so again, even if he's lying, even if he, this didn't happen to him, even if, let's say he's a celebrity with a lot of head trauma who's going into a mental breakdown. I'm still glad that he's raising awareness because everything that he's talking about is very real. Even if it didn't happen to him, I don't give a fuck whether it happened to Ryan Garcia, but I do know that this happened to someone, somewhere, someone's child right now in this world at this very moment. Who cares if Ryan Garcia is telling the truth? What I care about is that there's being awareness given to the situation, that maybe he is telling the truth. But regardless of whether he is or he isn't, I'm glad that he's bringing awareness to this because this is a topic that should be discussed by every celebrity with every connection everywhere across the country, across the globe, at all times, until it's rectified. And the light has been shined on the darkness enough to where it is. escapes into a deep dark hole and never presents itself again. That is what I would want. And I'm happy that he is, he is causing this potential for this to, to, to occur because there's very, very few celebrities, but we're actually seeing a lot more, which is becoming a theme in this situation. There was more recently a video that came out talking about how Matt Reif and another comedian were being forced to enter the being forced by two executives saying that they'll make them famous and all they have to do is perform a sex act on them. That's a wild claim too. But we know Harvey Weinstein existed. We know that there's these gatekeepers in Hollywood and the music industry, P. Diddy being one of them, as we will see a little bit later. This is a very real thing, even if for adults, even if for people who want to be famous. They have to have blackmail on you. You have to become a part of their little scheme. You have to have, you know, some questionable sexuality, and that's just the reality of the Hollywood and the music executives and the world that we live in, the high level politics, like even Madison Cawthorn talks about the orgies that were happening in Washington DC, right? We know these honeypot schemes are happening all around the world. We know that, right? This is all true shit, guys. Like this is, yeah, again, Maybe the not most, maybe not the most articulate way of putting it. But everything he's saying is true, whether it's, it happened to him or not. And so, hundreds of, hundreds of thousands of people watched this one video. 700, 000 people now have more awareness about what's going on in the world. And again, some of those people might not be able to handle that truth. But as long as it's being talked about and discussed, they have to hide it. They have to, they have to go into some far corner of the reality that we live in to do these things. They have to get out of the public light, the Epstein's will no longer be able to navigate the social circles that they, he did. Jeez, can't talk. Because it's so in the public space. I write everybody knows that about Hollywood. Everybody knows that about the music industry. Now, everybody knows that about high level politics and the elites and the Virgin Islands, like the Brussels or the, you know, the Branson's and the Epstein's that like, everybody knows those things now. And good, keep talking about it until something's done, and they go away, or they're all killed off, or they're all in jail. That's all I want, right? And so good, if you do that to children, you should have the worst things happen to you. Right. If you're a part of that, that world. Okay. So that's the situation with Ryan Garcia. There's, there's more to come. He says he's not talking about it. I'll give you one segue out of this, which is the fact that, Well, let's go ahead and let's listen to this clip first. Then I'll segue between Ryan Garcia and P Diddy. Cause PD is really the deep dive for today. And I'm not sure how, how long we'll be able to discuss that, but I do have a full 30 or 73 page legal documents highlighted outlines for us to discuss today about these very things. Okay. But first, let me tell you why I started Ronin. So after learning about EMF radiation, doing the deep dive into 5g, right. Here's my, my quick little pitch for you. The reason I started Ronin is because I looked for these Faraday products myself. Okay, I went online, I found there's, there's three or four of them that are out there. And one of them has decent design, but they're so expensive. A backpack is 850 literally. Okay. The other ones, when it comes to the apparel hats, that type of thing, their design work sucks. It was never anything I would want to wear and also very expensive. It was 90 for a hat, which is like, I'm not fucking spending 90 on a hat, especially if it looks like shit. So, and so. Having the background that I did, and I do I decided to, you know, I have a pretty heavy marketing background. And so I sourced the supplies and found a way that we can create these products and create them in a way that they're going to be affordable, in a way that they're going to be a design that I would actually be confident and comfortable wearing. And, and once I have these products shipped, you will not see me on this video without a Ronin hat on my head and you will love them too, I promise. So I made affordable and Actually desirable designs with these Faraday products that I've worked alongside this manufacturer for months and months to build. And so again, I ask you, there was only a few more spots left on the initial order and I'm doing it at a steeply discounted rate. The hats, I believe are about 40 to 45. Normally they're going to be a little bit more expensive than that, but nowhere near 90. So less than half of the cost in the, in the material, to be fair, the material that's, Lined in these is somewhat expensive. And that's really where some of the cost comes from. But I do think that some of the other organizations are just taking advantage of the fact that you don't know any better. So if you get it right now, it's half the cost of anywhere else. Both the backpacks is a fifth, a sixth of the cost. It's 180 for the backpack. And it's, it's. 45 for the baseball hat 40 for the beanie. Okay, only right now though because the prices are going to go up It's not going to go up like a hundred percent and up to their prices. I promise But I do have to make some margin on this what i'm really trying to do guys is just be able to get that first Bulk order so I don't have to spend thousands of dollars out of my pocket to get the bulk order to start doing the campaigns for you guys to get you to Get on this train because I truly believe that the effect that we can have in the country if we get any Everybody with a Faraday bag and everybody with an EMF blocking hat. One of the 10 foil hats, I believe that there will be a massive disruption in the way that we interact with technology and our health and everything will be much, much better as a result. So I'm super excited about this. The website is being launched as we speak. Don't purchase from the website because the prices are higher than what you'll get it for at the pre sale launch. But if you do want to go check out the website and the work that I'm doing there, that's going to be launched very, very soon. It's Ronan. It's RonanBasics. com, R O N I N B A S I C S, RonanBasics. com, and you can check it all out there. All right. I appreciate you guys. I love you guys. Thank you for the support. Go to the, the website. Go to the show notes here right under where you're listening to the podcast and you'll see that it'll be the very very first link will be the pre launch sale of Ronin and I'll be tracking seeing how well you guys respond to this because again, I know my podcast listeners. I know you guys. I love you guys. I've been talking to you and for, you know, over a hundreds of hours now. So I know you guys will love this too. And I know you'll support me. So thank you so much in advance. All right. Segway back to creepy Hollywood and music executives. Here's the video about Matt Reif. Here we go. Comedy Kat Williams The dark side of hollywood is finally being exposed Thanks to one of the true kings of comedy kat williams You know before I became wealthy in business. I actually had a somewhat successful career in stand up comedy I was on the way up I was invited to a meeting With some Hollywood executives along with some now famous comedian and we were offered the chance for a deal at online stardom. But the only way to receive the contract was by sucking both of the execs off. I immediately got up and walked to the door. But before I could even exit, the other comedian was sucking. Both of their d k simultaneously. That guy's name was Matt Reif. And that's Alpha King rule number 799. Just because someone is more famous than you, it doesn't mean they're better. They might just be gayer. It doesn't mean they're better, they just might be gayer. No, I don't think I believe this guy. But if this is marketing, this is great marketing because I've never seen this guy's face before, but his delivery is honestly too good. It's too practiced. It's it, there's very little emotion in it. It's, it seems to me like this is, this guy's full of shit, but a pretty good comedy bit if he is nonetheless. But. I didn't hear that whole video all the way through. So that's, that's pretty funny. Tom Segura and I think Duncan Trestle did a video. Making fun of this. Like I thought everybody knew you had to suck a dick to get into comedy. Like that's just the rule. And I think Matt Reif went and like blocked the guy who posted this Dom Lucre and all of this stuff and drama. I like Matt Reif. I think he's pretty damn funny. His crowd works amazing. I have nothing against the guy. I think this is pretty funny. And Hey, if you had to suck a dick. for hundreds of millions of dollars or whatever that dude's making and you're happy to do it. I got nothing against your man. Do you, my friend? It might not be more, better comedy. You just might be gayer. Oh, that's so funny. But if Reif is, he's a comedian, Again, a younger guy probably in his early 20s, mid 20s at this point sweeping the world on Tik Tok and all th

Professor Jason Arday is our latest Christmas guest editor. This year he was appointed as Cambridge's youngest Black professor. A significant accolade by any measure but even more so when you consider that Professor Arday was diagnosed with autism and global developmental delay aged just three and didn't learn to speak until he was nine or read and write until he was eighteen. He uses his programme to look at improving adult literacy and he speaks to the head of Universal Records about championing neurodiversity in the workplace. Professor Arday also indulges his passion for 90s music with a discussion including Blur drummer Dave Rowntree and as a fan of a sharp suit, he champions the tailoring industry.
It's been said before, yet I feel it's worth repeating that when making mokuhanga, you don't make it alone. So many people influence us that it may be difficult to pinpoint who or what impacts our creative lives the most. In this episode of the Unfinished Print I speak with mokuhanga printmaker Hellory. Based in Italy, Hellory makes multi-colour mokuhanga with luxury techniques. She learned these techniques from her mentor, Giovanni Berio Ligustro. We discuss the intertwined artistic lives of Hellory and Ligustro. What learning from a mentor was like, what studying and assisting her teacher did for her work, and Hellory shares with me how she creates her mokuhanga using deluxe techniques such as gold leaf, mica, embossing, glassing and more.

In this episode of the Learning While Working Podcast, we explore how AI technologies can be used to increase the efficiency of instructional designers. We tackle the challenges and ethical concerns of using AI-generated tools, focusing on their limitations and potential misinterpretations. Get insights into the importance of maintaining the human element in instructional design, especially in areas like assessment design.About Cara NorthCara North has worked in the instructional design field for more than a decade and has won multiple awards for her learning experiences. Cara has worked in both higher education and corporate, and runs her own consulting business, The Learning Camel. Some of the clients The Learning Camel has served include Universal Records, WesBanco, NASA, Daisy and the National Association for Talent and Development (ATD).Key takeaways:Generative AI can be used for brainstorming and translation. Tools like Chat GPT are valuable for creating first drafts, but they lack the ability to capture context-specific language and formality. As such, human input is required for this purpose.There are tools that are useful in the localization and translation of content. Cara gives examples of Microsoft PowerPoint's built-in translation tool and Sonix.ai, which help in rapidly reproducing content in different languages, improving efficiency in the learning design process.The use of AI avatars for role-playing exercises in instructional design helps avoid logistical challenges associated with producing videos. However, these AI avatars require human input for more nuanced performance.Segmented time stamps:(00:00) The importance of focusing on making the best learning experience possible and not the tools(01:13) How Cara uses AI in her learning design process(04:42) Some key AI tools to check out (06:25) What human input is needed from AI translation tools(10:19) AI-generated avatars(15:39) Authenticity in art and AI(20:16) Cara's advice for instructional design and using genetic AI nowLinks from the podcast Connect with Cara on LinkedInCheck out The Learning Camel

[TW//Drug Misuse, Suicidal Thoughts] Today I welcome singer, songwriter and author of the Amazon bestseller The Joy of Addiction, Sebastian Wocker. Aged 17, Wocker landed the principal part of Woof in the 1983 European tour of the musical Hair where, suffering teenage angst, low self-worth and low self-esteem, he went into a deep depression and had to throw in the towel after two months. He returned to his safe haven of drugs and alcohol in London, where he auditioned for and got into LAMDA (London Academy of Dramatic Arts), only to drop out after two days because he 'couldn't stand all those happy clappy prima donnas'. The real reason? He was an addict, hopelessly hooked on drugs and alcohol and didn't want to be found out. Sebastian takes us on a compelling journey down the abyss of alcohol, cocaine, speed, cannabis, hallucinogen and prescribed drug addiction, leading him to various rock bottoms and 'dark nights of the soul'. Then, aged 21, a moment of inspiration: a seed planted by his long suffering mother finally got him into the 12-step programme, offering him the life-changing gift of recovery. For anyone struggling with addiction, he shares how he got himself out and continues to live life, a day at a time — a free man. Having found recovery in 1987, Sebastian formed indie-rock band Yeah in 1990, playing the London, Hamburg and Berlin club circuits. After a five-page interview with Die Zeit Magazine in 1992, Yeah appeared on various radio and TV shows and in 1993 was awarded The John Lennon Talent Award in Hamburg. In 1998 he wrote and produced World Cup Crescendo for TV impressionist Alistair McGowan. In 2002 he signed as a songwriter for Global Chrysalis Publishing, writing numerous songs for Cherry Red Records and Universal Records and released his solo album: Don Sebastiano, The Spaghetti Tree. In 2007 Wocker recorded the soundtrack of German movie Pornorama with Mousse T and, in 2010, was the singing voice for Tobias Menzies in the award winning independent motion picture Forget Me Not. Sebastian has written as a journalist for The Independent, Mr Partner Magazine (Japan), Camden New Journal and Ham and High Express. He is currently journalist and editor of the Hampstead Village Voice and has interviewed various household names including Emma Thompson, Russell Brand, George Graham, Giles Coren and Martin Bell. Wocker is currently recording an audiobook for his best selling book The Joy of Addiction, out on Audible from February 2024 and is writing the sequel: The Joy of Relapse. He is currently the lead singer/song writer of indie band Ridiculous with Jon Moss, Erran Baron-Cohen and Peter Noone. Ridiculous has just recorded their debut single Everybody Loves That Girl at Abbey Road Studios.

Welcome to Episode #17 of the 90s State of Mind podcast - a collaborative project between 4ever in Electric Dreams and Blue-in-Green:RADIO. This podcast series sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode, the pair celebrate the 1997 album from the iconic neo-soul pioneer, Erykah Badu, 'Baduizm'. Marking the debut studio effort from Badu, the project found a home on Kedar Records and Universal Records, and was a commercial success debuting at number two on the US Billboard charts and number one on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

How do you create a soundtrack to a moment? Something that adds rather than takes something away? Sunset is always such a special moment on Ibiza. People have made whole careers out of soundtracking it on the island, including Jose Padilla, who is sadly no longer with us. He was managed once upon a time by todays guest, DJ and music lover, Pete Gooding who was a super fan and has many magic memories of the man himself which he shares with us today. Pete has been off and off the island for the best part of three decades dipping in and out of radio presenting and DJing, he now works and manages a range of artists full time. Pete has been a resident DJ at Cafe Mambo in Ibiza since the summer of 1996, is regularly seen laying it down for sunset at Hostal La torre and has compiled many of the Cafe Mambo compilation series with Universal Records. He is also one half of the selection team behind the Hostal La Torre compilation series, of which there has only been four to date, but have a fond place in our hearts. Thank you to our podcast editing team ResetRebelProductions - RRP run podcast courses and the next one is 17 and 18th April at the hub Ibiza.

He studied art in college, while performing in his first band, a funk-rock outfit called Joe Rockhead. The band independently released three albums before disbanding. Schneider subsequently performed with Ugly Americans who were an opening act for the Dave Matthews Band and signed with the revived Capricorn Records.[8] In 1997, Schneider co-founded The Scabs, a funk ensemble that regularly played in around Austin and described as " inspired by The Rugburns (right down to the suits and ties) [with] bawdy show tunes and puerile blues in the beginning, but eventually the powerhouse funk took over when the Grooveline Horns were added".Career In 1999, Schneider formed a solo act, initially under the name Lonelyland, which became the title of his record released through Universal Records. His style has been described as "acoustic based songs with electronic beats and noises in the background and other types of cross genre music. His live shows are known for improvisation [and] audience involvement".[He went on to record the major-label solo albums Lonelyland (2001) and I'm Good Now (2004), which garnered him significantly more national attention and some critical acclaim. "Big Blue Sea" from the Lonelyland album received significant radio play, as did "Come With Me Tonight" from I'm Good Now. "Metal & Steel" from Lonelyland is, to date, Schneider's most played song.The contracts that he signed with Universal in 2001 and Vanguard in 2004 allowed him to release albums as "side projects" on his own Shockorama Records.Among the albums that have been self-released are Galaxy Kings and I've Seen The End of the World and It Looks Like This. All of these side projects were re-released by Vanguard in conjunction with the release of his 2006 album The Californian. Previously, these albums had limited availability as approximately 10,000 copies were produced. After releasing The Californian, Schneider also put out Greatest Hits Live, recorded in Austin on July 17, 2006, on Shockorama Records. He has a long-standing Monday night residency at the Saxon Pub and regularly plays at Antone's, both venues in Austin. His live-band includes Harmoni Kelley (bass), Jeff Plankenhorn (guitars), Conrad Choucroun (drums), Danny Levin (cello) and Oliver Steck (accordion) In 2009, Schneider signed with Kirtland Records and released Lovely Creatures in September 2009. It featured the single "40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet)", which peaked at #14 on the AAA Radio Chart. The album also featured Patty Griffin on the track "Changing Your Mind".He released a second album on the label entitled "A Perfect Day" on April 19, 2011, featuring the single "Let The Light In." "Burden of Proof" was released on June 11, 2013.His next musical project, King Kong, was released in 2015 under the Shockorama label and was the result of a crowdsourcing campaign through PledgeMusic. King Kong saw its release over the course of 2015 in the form of three EPs (volumes collectively known as The King Kong Suite) as well as a full-length album made available to his online backers.In 2017, Schneider began making his massive backlog of recorded demos available to his fans through Patreon. His next album Blood and Bones was released on June 8, 2018.On an episode of The Lone Star Plate podcast, Schneider said he turned down a part in the 2020 Netflix hit The Lost Husband because he didn't want to become an on-screen celebrity.

Cara has worked in both higher education and corporate, and runs her own consulting business, The Learning Camel. Some of the clients The Learning Camel has served include Universal Records, WesBanco, NASA, Daisy and the National Association for Talent and Development (ATD).Key takeaways:There are many engaging and impactful ways of conducting assessments. Go beyond just providing formal multiple-choice questions, and try out different types of workplace assessments. Many people get anxious when they hear the word “assessment”, so make it user-friendly.It's important to ask the right questions. When creating your own L&D material, get really clear on what can be achieved. Ask your clients questions such as what are the business needs? What is the desired state? Can training fulfil this? View your role as a consultant, not just content generators, to drive impact.Engage stakeholders: your work is more than just a report card. Begin with the basics and find alignment with stakeholders. Then start with the basic tasks to provide hands-on experience that people can learn from, then build up. This is great for task-based assessments.Segmented time stamps:(02:12) The opportunities with digital learning development(04:50) Handling people's previous experiences of assessment(08:52) Assessment learning can help focus teachers and efforts(13:25) The right questions to ask when putting together workplace training(21:24) Advice on engaging stakeholders(27:31) How to improve your assessment practicesLinks from the podcast:Connect with Cara on LinkedInCheck out The Learning CamelRead about the Four Levels of EvaluationListen to the interview with Jeff Kortenbosch

The business of music catalog acquisition has become a hot topic of discussion lately. With the sales of such song catalogs once belonging to Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits, Shakira, John Lennon, Ryan Tedder, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, 50 Cent, Nelly, and many more, it's become a sellers paradise. But why? We talk with music publisher Trey Bruce, who is the owner and President of Galore Entertainment, a new entertainment company that develops artists and publishing assets through exploitation & sync licensing. Emmy Award winning songwriter, Trey Bruce, moved to Nashville just in time for the 1990s Country Music boom. Trey was a rock drummer from Memphis so… what could go wrong? Luckily, as an unpublished songwriter, Trey's first demo got cut almost immediately by Shelby Lynn and was a top 15 hit so, as a result he signed his first publishing deal with MCA Music in November of 1989. During the MCA years Trey had a few minor cuts and then, his first #1 single, on Randy Travis called, “Look Heart No Hands”. After three years at MCA, in 1993, Trey co-founded a small indie publishing company, Big Tractor Music, with renowned record producer Scott Hendricks and there Trey received 13 ASCAP Awards, an Emmy Award, five #1 singles, multiple top 5 and top 10 radio hits and an Academy Of Country Music, Song Of The Year nomination. During the Tractor years Trey developed a love for coffee and long nights in the studio so he became a record producer. In 2005 Trey started a publishing/artist development joint venture with Chrysalis Music in Nashville. At Chrysalis Trey searched out new artists before anyone else had discovered them. Trey signed and developed teenagers, Charlie Worsham now on Warner Brothers, John & TJ Osborne of Brothers Osborne now on Universal Records, Chris Janson also on Warner Brothers and American Idol's 12th season runner-up, Kree Harrison. During this period Trey was writing songs with Scott Weiland, Billy Gibbons, Kerry Kurt Phillips, LeAnn Rimes, CarrieUnderwood, Katherine McPhee, Duff McKagan and Richard Marx. Trey wrote and helped build, from scratch, a catalog of more than 800 songs in 5 years, as well as cuts in the Rock format and two #1 singles in Australia and Canada.

Born and raised in Oklahoma City, OK, guitarist Joe "Blower" Garvey is a founding member of the post-grunge rock outfit Hinder. Garvey had loved music from an early age, and though he picked up playing the guitar in high school, he did not really take it seriously until college when he became friends with vocalist Austin Winkler and drummer Cody Hanson. Together they birthed Hinder in 2001, and after solidifying into a quintet three years later, earned a swift record deal with Universal Records. Hinder's debut album, Extreme Behavior, was released in the fall of 2005. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dadcastco/support

Pop/rock singer/guitarist Ken Block began performing professionally at the age of 12. In 1993, he helped form the acoustic jangle pop band Sister Hazel in Gainesville, FL. The group's self-titled debut album, featuring numerous songs co-written by Block, was released independently in 1994, and then Sister Hazel signed to Universal Records, which released ...Somewhere More Familiar in 1997. The album went platinum, buoyed by the Top 20 success of the single "All for You," co-written by Block. Sister Hazel followed up with 2000's Fortress, which was not as much of a commercial success, and returned to independent status with Chasing Daylight (2003), released by Sixthman, the band's own label. That album and its successor, Lift (2004), reached the charts. With 2006's holiday collection Santa's Playlist, Sister Hazel moved to the Rock Ridge Music label. While remaining a member of the group, Block released his debut solo album, Drift, on Rock Ridge on December 9, 2008. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dadcastco/support
