In September 2011, Admiral Jonathan Greenert became the Chief of Naval Operations. Before that, he had commanded the US Navy's 7th fleet, a fleet that just rings with Naval History related to World War II. But even before that, the Admiral had once upon a time been a LtCDR and was the Executive Officer (XO) aboard a TRIDENT ballistic missile submarine. And, aboard that submarine, one of the sailors with whom he had a long history of service was a Ballistic Missile Fire Controlman (FTB), 2nd Class, named... well... Dave Bowman. After the Admiral became CNO, I approached his office about being on the show for December 7th (and that adventure is a story for another day) and he was glad to do it. We had a great time recording the interview and an even better conversation after. What I always knew about (as he was to me) LtCDR Greenert was that he cared a great deal about the sailors under him. Most XO's are the "hard ass" types and they keep things in line. LtCDR Greenert was ALWAYS professional and personable. When I had an issue in December of 1986, he went to bat for me. Though we lost, I learned a valuable lesson from him. "Bowman," he said, "We lost. But that's no excuse for less than your best the rest of this patrol." That conversation led to one of my most personal, private and favorite moments aboard USS Michigan. At any rate, I was thinking about all the December 7th shows I've done through the years, and this is still my favorite. So I thought that I would share it with you once again... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/plausibly-live/message

In late 2011, Admiral Jonathan Greenert became the Chief of Naval operations. Before that, he had commanded the US Navy's 7th fleet, a fleet that just rings with Naval History related to world war II. But even before that, the Admiral had once upon a time been a LtCDR and was the executive Officer aboard a ballistic missile submarine. And, aboard that submarine, one of the sailors with whom he had a long history of service was a Ballitic Missile Fire Controlman, 2nd Class, name... well... Dave Bowman. After the Admiral became CNO, I approached his office about being on the show for December 7th (and a story for another day was that adventure!) and he was glad to do it.

"Bowman," he said, " we lost. But that's no excuse for less than you best in everything." That conversation led to one of my most personal and favorite moments aboard USS Michigan. At any rate, I was thinking about all the December 7th shows I've done through the years, and this is still my favorite. So I thought that I would share it with you once again...

I was going to talk about the idea of money behind the politics of the day and how that actually led to one of the seminal events in history, the American Revolution. Maybe I'll back to that tomorrow? Thirty-five years ago today was my last full day off before departing on the infamous Patrol 13 aboard USS Michigan. I was in one of my favorite places, Port Townsend, WA. There, in the midst of a bittersweet sun splashed fall day, I saw a newspaper headline that chilled me to the bone. A Soviet Ballistic Missile Submarine was on fire off of Bermuda…

In the early part of 1985, I was standing four section Strategic weapons System Technician watch, the only time in my entire career I had four section duty. And of course, as the junior most Weapons Tech, I pulled the mid-watch. Every night for a month or so, I would stand my watch from 00-06, which for an already pretty skate watch like Weapons Tech, was pretty… well.. skate. One of my best friends, a Torpedoman second class named Tim, also had the mid-watches. It was a time when I would read Carl Sagan books and dream about the stars. I was constantly trying to work out our schedule for the next year to see if I would be ashore to see Haley's Comet (spoiler, I wasn't). Voyager was still a big deal. The Space Shuttle was ramping up to full steam. Pluto was still a planet. And every night, around 0400, the phone in the torpedo room (where I would hang out) would growl. It was Jeff, calling us to let Tim and I know that he needed our help…

Only two sailors reported mild respiratory symptoms. Farmers in the northern US Plains region will harvest the smallest spring wheat crop in 33 years after a severe drought, according to the US Department of Agriculture. This spring wheat accounts for a quarter of total US wheat production, meaning higher prices and shortages. A Sinaloa Cartel 'ringleader' was sentenced to 33 years in federal prison for extensive fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine trafficking in Virginia, North Carolina, and California. He was ordered to pay $4.2 million and forfeit his house. And if you haven't noticed, oil prices are at a 33-month high and 33 people were injured by Chicago gunfire this weekend, which killed 13.

WEED Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, and Senator Cory Booker are holding a press conference tomorrow (Wednesday, July 14, 2021) to unveil a preliminary version of a bill being referred to by journalists as the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act . It is expected to remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act, impose a federal tax on the herb and bring about restorative justice to communities affected by the War on Drugs while allowing states largely in control of how to approach legalization. Last week, the Cannabis Freedom Alliance backed by Charles Koch, Snoop Dogg, and Weldon Angelos (as previously discussed on Bowl After Bowl Episode 76: Thanks Your Old Pass) released a white paper urging removal of cannabis from the Schedule I classification under the Controlled Substances Act. Last Wednesday (July 7, 2021) the Nevada State Athletic Commission joined the Florida State Boxing Commission after voting to no longer discipline fighters for using cannabis. Unlike Florida, however, the NSAC - which regulates all unarmed combat including boxing, kickboxing, and MMA - will still test for marijuana to collect data over the next six months. The new policy begins tomorrow and is not retroactive. The Cannabis Control Division of the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department more than doubled the maximum number of plants growers can produce, boosting the cap from 4,500 plants to 10,000 in response to concerns about supply shortage among medical patients when recreational purchases being in early 2022. Solar Therapeutics is being sued for copyright infringement, false advertising, and misappropriation of Sacha Baron Cohen's right of publicity after using a picture of Borat giving the thumbs up on a Massachusetts interstate billboard while exclaiming, "It's Nice!" Cohen's attorney claims he has never used cannabis in his life, creating Ali G to mock stoner culture, and would never participate in any corporate brand deal because it would undermine his credibility as an actor and social activist. The billboard was taken down after the brand received a cease-and-desist letter but Cohen is still seeking statutory damages, actual damages, punitive damages, and disgorgement of profits attributable to the billboard. 88,000 cases have been vacated or dismissed following the decriminalization of marijuana in New Jersey. These are the first of 360,000 cases identified by the courts to be automatically expunged under the law which became effective on July 1, 2021. Warrants for failure to appear are also being rescinded as well as related probation or pretrial monitoring.

States with home delivery will likely join in as it allows customers to peruse a grower's full catalog and helps the grower test new products while gathering consumer trend data. A lawsuit over spam text messages between two consumers and Eaze reached a settlement. It's the second lawsuit of this type that Eaze has faced. The first suit was filed in 2018 and sent to arbitration. This one was pending on a Supreme Court case regarding Facebook and auto-dialing telephone systems, where it was unanimously ruled that random or sequential number generators must be used. One plaintiff signed up for texts from Eaze while the other received messages becuase of a third-party error. In Oklahoma, Senator Jim Inhofe has requested $4 million in federal funds to create a Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs sponsored by the Department of Justice to work with sheriffs' departments and combat the black market. Missouri Governor Mike Parson vetoed legislation last Friday (July 9, 2021) which would have allowed medical marijuana companies to deduct business expenses on their taxes, saying the decision came down to a section lawmakers included in the bill which would have provided tax relief to businesses impacted by city-or county-wide public health restrictions.

There used to be a Brunswick bowling ball plant in Muskegon and, according to former employees, workers used to take scrapped bowling balls to use as a cheaper alternative to gravel or sand.

So… no video this morning. Why not? Well… after the show it turns out that I had a case of TCD. Which once upon a time caught us on the USS Michigan. And now it’s catching all the Facebook School Medicine graduates who are taking time out of their busy patient schedules to inform me that AstraZeneca-Oxford is “wrong” to halt its Phase III Cornonavirus vaccine trials…

There are jobs in the Military that can actually seem pretty regular; jobs that don't differ too much from their civilian world counterparts. But then there jobs that just sound cool: the stuff right out of the movies. Today we salute Chief Petty Officer William Shultz of the United States Navy who has exactly one of those exciting jobs. His wife Francesca wrote in for this salute. William Shultz has been in the Navy for more than 14 years, and is currently a chief of the fire control systems on the USS Michigan, an Ohio-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine that has been converted to a guided missile submarine to meet the current wartime demands of the nation. The Michigan is based out of Naval Base Kitsap but is currently deployed somewhere in the world, under the seas. Francesca is so proud of her husband and she misses him a lot when he's away. She says the couple's two sons, William, 4, and Thomas, 1, also miss their dad tons as well. Every job performed in our military is important to the overall mission, but some jobs require a bit more grit and determination.  Sailors like Shultz spend weeks or months beneath the sea in a submarine so Freedom can spread and survive around the globe. Today we salute Chief Petty Officer William Shultz of the United States Navy.

My guest on this episode is Ryan Turk. Ryan raised a traditional search fund in March 2020 and closed on Radiation Detection Company only nine months later in December 2020. Prior to searching, Ryan served in the Navy aboard nuclear submarine USS Michigan as an officer managing their onboard nuclear power system. Ryan used this experience to launch his impressively short industry focused search. Ryan and I talk about the pros and cons of being from the Navy prior to becoming a CEO, his thoughts on industry focus versus broad searches, establishing credibility and building relationships in a new team, and how his board has been helpful along with other advice to folks working with boards.
