Thousands of fired up South Islanders flooded the Octagon in central Dunedin on Saturday while West Coasters took a silent approach to protest about a failing health system. In the largest of the two rallies, Dunedin hosted one its biggest protests in decades after the government put the new hospital build in the firing line for possible cuts following a budget blowout.

LINDSEY HUGHEY Good morning, PT on Ice Daily Show. How is it going? Welcome to Technique Thursday. My name is Dr. Lindsay Hughey. I am division lead of extremity management along with Dr. Mark Gallant, and I am here to talk to you about a deltoid myofascial decompression technique. So in honor of deltoid week, I want to share just a common technique we'll use. First, I will kind of give a little context of why we would use this technique, and then I'm literally going to show you how we'll do cup placement, and then how we'll follow that up with active movement. So we do passive, and then we actually do a little neuroreeducation to that area. WHY CUP THE DELTOID? So why we might choose this technique is someone that literally has pain with palpation at that deltoid, baby with abduction, they have a painful arc, and or when you manually muscle test into abduction and or flexion, they have some pain symptoms. So this would lead us to want to do this treatment. In our extremity management course, we usually call this the weak shoulder bucket. A lot of these folks fall under that umbrella. So I actually have an assistant with me today. So Paul is going to come and sit, and I'm actually going to have him sit like this. I usually have the patient either lay in supine, side lying, or prone to do this technique. But for ease of you all to view the deltoid, I want to have him sit, and then we'll have him lay on his side. So we want so just to orient us to the deltoid and I'm going to move this camera just a little bit right so the deltoid actually gets its name because it looks like an upside down delta so if these points all the way down to that deltoid tuberosity by the way to dive deep into the anatomy of the deltoid check out Clinical Tuesday with Ellison Melrose because we are doing all things deltoid this week. And she did a fabulous episode on not only the anatomy, but the function. So take a look at that. But here we're going to target, we want to target the anterior, the medial, and that posterior region. So some people think of this as like clavicle, acromion, or spinal. So what we're going to do is attach our cups to each of those regions and then all the way to that deltoid tuberosity. So I'm going to grab my gadgets. So practical things we need are some kind of lubricant. I'm going to use Free Up today, but it doesn't really matter, kind of your favorite lotion oil that'll help this stick. So I'm going to put a little lotion anterior, medial, and then that posterior, right? Because we have three main parts here. And then we'll go down to this deltoid tuberosity area. So I'm going to use these nice curved cups. These are actually the newest cups from our colleague and friend, Cup Therapy. So Chris DiPrato just came out with these and his team, and they are awesome for suction. We really, by the way, love myofascial decompression because it's really the only thing we have that really offloads tissue versus like our dry needling, our exercise, our massage, our wonderful treatment adjuncts. but they're compressive in nature. So sometimes this decompressive technique is just a novel stimulus to help that muscle relax and move better and activate better. CUPPING THE DELTOID So I'm going to start with that middle portion and I want For muscle, we usually want about 300 to 600 millimeters of mercury or pressure taken off. And there are gauges that pumps that actually show you that pressure. This is just a standard pump today, but just to keep that knowledge in your back pocket. And then we're going to go posteriorly. So again, I want to make sure lotion is there. I'm going to attach here. How are we doing, Paul? Such a good patient. Such a good model. And then we're going to go anterior. So I'll just kind of shift my body so that you all can see that. Again, we're pumping up. We try to get enough besides that 300 to 600 millimeters or mercury, but enough that they don't pop off. And if this do pop off during this demo, we'll just reattach. And then finally, down here, a little bit more lotion. And then we'll pump. We're getting a little slidey there, doing OK. Sometimes you're doing OK. Sometimes hair gets us, and we might. User error is always fun, too, when your hands are sliding. I'm just going to change this out. Here we go. That one, we needed to go, I think, a little bit smaller. That one was a little too big for the surface. That's why there's different size cups. OK. To visualize, we have anterior, medial, posterior, so we're hitting all parts of that deltoid. And then we're trying to sink into that deltoid tuberosity. For our treatment, I'm going to have Paul lay in sideline, so that shoulder is up. First part of this, and I'll just adjust the Instagram camera a little bit, is we're going to do some passive movement. So we're never just having the patient sit with the cups and doing nothing. It's very rare that we would just let this be a static treatment. So I'm going to take Paul's arm, and then I'm going to move him into all the motions that the deltoid produced. So that anterior is more flexion, internal rotation, abduction for that medial and then posterior contributes to extension and external rotation. So I'm gonna move in and out of all those positions. So I'll demo just a couple of those and then the next part is let's let the patient own this movement with some neural re-education. So then Paul will do those movements and I'll show you our favorite sideline trio for that. So I'm going to flex him and I'm moving my body with this. And then I might mess with a little bit of internal external rotation. And when you're up close to the cups, what you see is some pumping on off of that tissue. And I'll do just a couple more of these. And then I can even abduct. A little bit for Paul on off, and I would spend like a minute or so kind of going off on off and deflection, internal external rotation. I might even go into a little bit of extension. And then I want him to do some of these movements. So I'm going to go from behind to direct Paul and get out of your way. But one of our favorite things for the weak shoulder and to really light up that deltoid and even the cuff, because we know they work together in upward elevation, is we're going to do external rotation. Elbow straight, do flexion, come down, and then go to 90 and do horizontal abduction. So we're hitting all parts of that deltoid and the cuff with this movement. And we'll have Paul do a few of these reps unloaded, but then I'm going to give him a change plate, and I'm actually going to have him load this up. And probably the hardest part is just remembering all the movements. It doesn't quite matter what order you do it in, but what matters is kind of targeting all the different areas of that beautiful deltoid muscle. So go back to external rotation, and this is just like a real patient, right? There's going to be some error in each movement. Again, it doesn't matter necessarily the order. And then horizontal abduction. To make it a little harder, we're going to go ahead and give him a weight. So he's going to go ahead externally rotate. I'll just guide him through those first reps, elbow straight, go ahead and flex. Meanwhile, the pods are still attached, offloading that tissue. He'll come back to 90 and then horizontally AB duct, right? And then we'd give him a sweet spot. You can go ahead and relax. A sweet spot, what we call an extremity management, the rehab dose because we are targeting local tissue. So our rehab dose is anywhere from 8 to 20 reps, 3 to 4 sets, and we're taking a rest break of about 60 to 90 seconds. And our intensity varies from 30% to 80% depending on tissue irritability. But we've done this out. SUMMARY So some key things, we apply the cups, right? But then we actually move the human passively. Then we have them actively do the thing, neuroreeducation. And then finally, we take the cups off. And what we would do is reassess one of those things that blipped an exam, whether it was palpation, whether it was that presence of a painful arc, and or our manual muscle testing to see, did NPRS change with our palpation? Did painful arc, was quality of movement improved, and or NPRS, less pain associated with that elevation? The other thing, one little other pearl I want to share with the cups. So we remove the cups and then we'll massage that area a little bit. But what's neat is you can even take some pressure off. I'm taking this last cup off, but I can reduce the pressure a tiny bit and I can end with like a sliding technique where there's a little bit of offloading still present, but we're sliding along that tissue. for overall treatment dur be more than like 3 to 5 technique. And what's neat asterix very quickly. And pain. The motor bands tha immediately are a little and then they're able to elevate their arm better. And so this quick and efficient technique is one that I would really encourage you to use with your folks that have any deltoid and or cuff issues. You've heard me throw out some terms today regarding weak shoulder, the rehab dose, and the sideline trio. These are all terms that are really common to our extremity management course. So if you haven't taken it yet, Mark and Cody and I and our team to see you on the road an offerings. If you check u dot com in the summer. So in Salt Lake City with Ja and 14th will be in Kent, Washington again. And then July 20th, 21st will be in Hendersonville. So Cody will be there. That is bound to be a blast with that Hendersonville crew. And then it keeps on coming. We have another course in July, Bend, Oregon. So a lot of West Coast opportunities. So my West Coasters join me. I will be doing all those West Coast courses. And then we have more offerings in August. So you can't miss us. Thank you for joining me on Technique Thursday to learn a little bit more about the deltoid. And thanks to Paul, my patient who always looks like he's sleeping, but he's actually awake and with it. I hope you all have a beautiful day. Take care. OUTROHey, thanks for tuning in to the PT on Ice daily show.

The Canucks woke us West Coasters up early today as they motored into to Detroit to try to make up for getting hammered against Boston. Detroit struck first, but Vancouver came out hard in the second with a big response to go up 3-1. As we have come to know, there's 2 things the Canucks never do: one is blow leads in the 3rd period, and the other is lose 2 games in a row... well, scrap that idea, as Detroit answered back with 2 goals in the 3rd, followed by another in OT to beat the Canucks 4-3 in overtime.

In today's episode Jason is joined by our good friend and fellow podcast creator Steve Fielder as well as Jason's better half and editor of Full Cry Magazine, Dani Duby.  This particular trio is no stranger to being on the road, and sometimes the white line fever gets the best of you.  So what do you do to cure the itch? You find yourself one of the biggest hunts in the US and jump a plane or fire up your truck to make the pilgrimage to Grand American.  Jason, Dani and Steve recap the weekends events, the impact and value of coon hunters in the community, and the legacy/future of Full Cry Magazine.  Was the event everything the “West Coasters” though it would be…. I think it's safe to say it was all that and more!

Check it out below: Daniel Holmlund (00:00:00) - We went and raised a large chunk of money for them and negotiated with them for better terms, and then an individual would get coming in. And it really dawned on me this year that being able to find better terms is the name of the game. And the only way you can really do that is through scaling. Welcome to the How to Scale commercial real estate show.   Sam Wilson (00:00:23) - Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Daniel Hamlin started the Alternative Investing Club, which helps educate people in creating an ownership culture. And he's also an active commercial real estate investor in Daniel. I know that that bio just doesn't even remotely capture everything that you've done in commercial real estate, but either way, it's great to have you on the show.   Daniel Holmlund (00:00:53) - Hey Sam, it's great to be here. I love seeing that you put out a daily podcast and I know a little bit about the rigor that that entails. So congratulations to you too.   Sam Wilson (00:01:02) - Well, we have to I can't say it's daily anymore.   Sam Wilson (00:01:06) - Regrettably, we did seven. I don't know who is. We? We got a mouse in my pocket. I did. I do have a lot of help. So maybe it is we it is definitely a we. Podcasting is a wee wee sport, but we did 720 episodes. So two years straight daily and then we've moved to three days a week. So it yeah, we're only at three days a week now. I can't claim a daily real estate show anymore, but either way, Daniel, this show was about you, not me. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   Daniel Holmlund (00:01:38) - Sure. So when I was little, my grandparents bought a apartment complex. After my grandfather retired from International Harvester, it was only after he retired from his full time job and bought real estate that he actually amassed a new wealth. And that kind of struck me as a ten year old.   Daniel Holmlund (00:01:54) - So I started right out of college, buying properties in single family homes, usually adding a little value there, flipping them. That was in 2002. I invested as hard money lender from overseas, actually all during 2006 to 2008. I ended up through the 2008 with a couple of houses that hard money lenders didn't want to pay me back for. Kept those for a little while and then founded Good Samaritan Capital, which is a syndication and private equity real estate company in 2018. And I have been working on private equity commercial deals ever since.   Sam Wilson (00:02:34) - Okay, that is really cool. I mean, but you've also held a W-2 here until recently, if I'm not mistaken.   Daniel Holmlund (00:02:42) - Yeah. Yeah. So I until just this year, I was full time at Intel where I worked on video and and artificial intelligence was a trainer for these. So didn't actually write the software. But I trained people in how to use it. And I also started the real estate club at Intel, which has been going now strong for four years.   Daniel Holmlund (00:03:04) - It's just exited Intel and we rebranded ourselves the Alternative Investing Club. And it is we bring a speaker in every single Friday and just learn from great people who are out there doing it.   Sam Wilson (00:03:19) - Let's stay there for just a second because I think this is something really cool that you set up there at Intel. You guys, like you said, you had a weekly meeting. You brought in a speaker every Friday. I think you had, you know, parameters around it which make all the sense in the world. It's a no pitch educational only. And I actually got to present there for you.   Daniel Holmlund (00:03:36) - Yeah you did you it on syndicating parking lots.   Sam Wilson (00:03:38) - Yeah. This was three years ago.   Daniel Holmlund (00:03:40) - Three years ago. Yeah. Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:03:41) - 3 or 3 and a half even. But it was fun. Yeah, it was great. It was great. It was great to be there. One. How did you build that club and then what advice would you give to somebody else thinking about that? Because, I mean, you guys are at Intel.   Sam Wilson (00:03:54) - You're not there to talk about real estate. You're talking, you know, microprocessors and all the other probably 800 billion things that Intel involved in.   Daniel Holmlund (00:04:00) - Yeah, Yeah. And you know, actually, I not only helped to build the club at Intel, but in 2021, I started just a small pro-bono mastermind helping other people start clubs. And we, we helped start the club with me over at Walmart, over at Netflix, at Cisco, at We revitalized the club over at Apple. We started one at Facebook. And so we we built a little bit of a network there and they're actually totally independent from me and off doing their own deals, starting their own clubs. But in Intel, I basically went into and said, I see you've got a stock company or a stock club. I see you've got a startup club and I want to run the real estate club. And my advice to people wanting to do that is figure out who to talk to at and make sure that you you frame it in terms of I am making this company a better place to be, right? You know, Intel needs to be a great place to work.   Daniel Holmlund (00:04:58) - And because of that, we're starting this club, which is purely educational and and also networking.   Sam Wilson (00:05:04) - Right, Right. That's cool. That's cool. Yeah. Love that. I mean, again, I've never spent a day in corporate America, so wouldn't even know where to start on that front. Like, oh.   Daniel Holmlund (00:05:14) - Hell, some corporations are. Ah love the idea that you have the enthusiasm, some are really conscientious and they'll put like the the compliance officers in the audience to, to monitor you, which, you know, you should be compliant. You should be running a purely educational club. Right. So, you know, just work with them and make sure that you keep the people happy and provide great speakers to your club members.   Sam Wilson (00:05:40) - Right. Right. No, I think that's great. How long did it take for you to get traction on that front?   Daniel Holmlund (00:05:45) - Oh, gosh. You know, my first four months running that club, I was embarrassed to go out to speakers. I was like, We're the Intel club.   Daniel Holmlund (00:05:53) - We've got like 12 people that are showing up. Yeah, but around what I did that actually grew the club is I went to other clubs and there's a, there's a 20 and 30 professional club called called Next Gen professionals at Intel. And I said to them, Hey, can I get on your calendar? And this is what we we do. So I went and networked with other clubs and that's actually what caused my my growth to explode. And you can see a very nice progression up over the last three and a half years. We're now at almost 1100 members.   Sam Wilson (00:06:29) - Wow. That's really, really impressive. And that's something I mean, I'm assuming you've done essentially with no marketing, no advertising.   Daniel Holmlund (00:06:39) - In fact, I was forbidden from doing that. It didn't sell. It was all word of mouth. Right.   Sam Wilson (00:06:43) - Right. Oh, that's really, really cool. I love that. And I think that's the other thing is I think even back to launching a podcast or it was like, you know, I don't know where we are 800 and 3050 episodes, somewhere in that range.   Sam Wilson (00:06:58) - It's like the first few episodes. It's like, Man, why am I doing this? Like I think I had? I think God bless the guy that came on with seven downloads, I think was on my first episode published like, Oh, after a week I had seven listens whoop de stinkin do. Why are we doing this? And obviously that's changed. But I think anybody starting out scaling what they're doing just has to note there's that incubation period, there's the embrace, the suck period of like, well, hey. Oh yeah, Pat in your hand, will you come talk to my 12 friends at Intel?   Daniel Holmlund (00:07:30) - Because our group is at the very beginning of the club, we actually used to reserve a room and physically go there. And I realized one particular time nobody showed up in the room, but there was like 15 people online. And I looked at them. They were all in the same building as I was in. They were just at their desks. And so you go through periods like that, right? Right.   Sam Wilson (00:07:51) - And did you go and did that change the model or the way that you did it from then on? Did you do it all remote after that?   Daniel Holmlund (00:07:56) - It's completely remote. Most of our most of our attendees, the number one spot is actually from Folsom, California. Number two is Portland, Oregon. Number three is is Phoenix, Arizona. So we're a lot of West Coasters. There's some Texas and Virginia and other places thrown in. But but, yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:08:13) - Got it. Oh, that's really, really cool. I love that. And so how did you how did you take that club out of Intel? I mean, did you just take all your email list and say, All right, guys, we're going to move this club? I'm not hosting it here at Intel anymore because I've stopped working for.   Daniel Holmlund (00:08:28) - Pretty much, yeah, over over about a eight week period. I said, first of all, we posted all of our videos internally at while the club was happening in Intel, only Intel employees were allowed to go there.   Daniel Holmlund (00:08:41) - So we posted our videos internally. We couldn't even send them to our speakers. Right? And well, actually, that's not true. We could send them to our speakers, but we asked they not share them. Right. And so and the reason why is because Intel wanted to protect the the privacy of their employees. And that was the policy that we had to abide by. Right. And so going out of Intel, it's been a big process. We basically told everybody, hey, if you want to continue coming to the group, sign up on this external emailing list in order to get on the group and we're going to go through all the videos and make sure that names are blurred out that you know, and anything that reveals any sort of employee name or data is taken out. And which was hard because we did question and answers where would say Bob is asking da da da da da da, right? And I realized actually early on that just using first names and not whole names was a good way to go because it meant a whole lot less editing.   Daniel Holmlund (00:09:40) - Right? But basically we just told the told the group that we were moving externally and we moved over to Alternative Investing Club. Com and that's where we're hosting now.   Sam Wilson (00:09:51) - That's really cool. Yeah. I love I love the idea of protecting the kind of the privacy of the people who are in the meeting. I made it here's a here's a rookie mistake I made the other day. Daniel I was doing a webinar and I didn't and I was using Zoom and I'm too cheap to pay for the, the like the webinar version of Zoom because it's like another, you know, I do like two webinars a year. So I was like and I pay for obviously.   Daniel Holmlund (00:10:15) - Like 400 bucks isn't it? It's something like that.   Sam Wilson (00:10:18) - But a.   Daniel Holmlund (00:10:19) - Month.   Sam Wilson (00:10:19) - It's high. When you tack on the webinar feature, I'm like, Man, I don't really care about that. And you can do speaker only view because none of that, none of the attendees in the webinar needed to be there. But I failed to do that.   Sam Wilson (00:10:30) - And so it had everybody. His name's who was attending obviously a webinar for our clean Laundry fund. And I'm like, Oh, crud, there's all the type of video editor get in there and blur everything out and like. But it just wasn't quite the same, same but same idea. Or it's like, Oh crud, everybody doesn't want to get advertised. Hey, I was in this meeting and none of my investors want to get advertised to the world that, hey, they were attending a webinar for a clean laundry fund. So it's just like you got to protect those things. So very, very cool. We've talked a lot about the club and how you started at Intel, what you've done to move it to taking it out of the corporate America structure. What are some things you're doing differently now inside of that club that maybe you couldn't do before at Intel?   Daniel Holmlund (00:11:12) - Uh, well, for one thing, we're beginning to bring in actual, you know, pitches to the club. So if people want to come in and talk about their clean laundry fund, we're doing more of that where it actually is listed to the attendees.   Daniel Holmlund (00:11:26) - This this is is a pitch for a particular fund. And this is, you know, this is not a non educational one. One thing that I want to back up and say, actually, is that the the real estate club for me was my launching platform for Starting Good Samaritan Capital. So it was a networking group and I did a ton of networking, never using company resources, always called on Zoom outside of company resources, never doing anything like that. But I built up my investor list that way, and Good Samaritan Capital over the last over the last five years now has participated in 12 syndication deals, um, and two of which we have sponsored and then two fund to fund deals, I'm sorry, three of which we've sponsored and two fund to fund deals. And so our goal was to bring a new high quality vetted investment out to the attendees or people, rather not the attendees, but the people on my investor list. There's actually a lot of people attending who were not on my investor list.   Daniel Holmlund (00:12:32) - Um, and bring it out once a quarter. So we've, we hit that goal every single quarter except for Q4 of 2022 where interest rates were starting to peak up really quickly and liquidity was drying in the market. This is still the current conditions that we're in and I'd love to talk about that as well too.   Sam Wilson (00:12:52) - Yeah, shoot, man. No, let's let's talk about I mean, that's a lot of deals to get done. And that's and you, you essentially what you just said, if I can recap it and clarify is that you built your investor list by hosting these events and by starting these clubs.   Daniel Holmlund (00:13:09) - Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. You and it's straight out of, you know, the best ever real estate syndication book. Right? Create your thought leadership platform, create a thought leadership platform and become the expert to a group of people that you know and earn their trust through repeatedly being there. Our club has actually had for an average of 49 events on Friday for the past four years. So we we usually don't do the Friday after Thanksgiving and maybe 1 or 2 in December.   Daniel Holmlund (00:13:41) - But other than that, we're there like clockwork and that that's a way to create trust.   Sam Wilson (00:13:47) - Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Very, very cool. You wanted to talk about interest rates not getting a deal out in the last quarter. What what what has been your focus and where are you going now that we've kind of, you know.   Daniel Holmlund (00:14:02) - Things, things. Yeah. Yeah. So so it's interesting. I think that a lot of people that are in the real estate market right now are realizing and and actually in the club we've been warning for two years I was joking in back in 2021 about which is more transitory inflation or the Fed or the Fed's reputation. Uh, and and I think now it might be the Fed's reputation, right? And that's, that's actually what we thought back then too. Um, but the writing was on the wall for quite some time. And in fact, one of the reasons I started a real estate company is because I knew I needed to convert all my stock market funds into real estate and hard assets because we were going into an inflationary period.   Daniel Holmlund (00:14:45) - And my my thesis was always that inflation is starting to pick up. The way that governments are spending is going to necessitate that inflation picks up. But all it's going to take is a shock to the system to make it really jump up. Right. And we've seen lots of shocks to the system. Of course, nobody thought Covid would come around, but it only takes the shock to the system and shocks to the system happen a lot. The economy tends to position itself right on the knife's edge, right where, you know, we've borrowed just enough to make inflation. Not a problem if everything goes right. Well, what if everything doesn't go right? You want to be in assets that are tangible and that actually go up in value in inflationary environment. Since that was the core theme to my business, you know, five years ago and the writing was on the wall since, you know, 2013 where we anyway won't go down that route. So, so we, we now are in a period where inflation is kicking up, expenses are going up, the interest rates are going up.   Daniel Holmlund (00:15:50) - This is drying up a lot of liquidity in the market. A lot of lenders have drastically pulled back. I see deals right now that, you know, used to be underwriting for underwritten for 75% LTV loan to value and now they're doing 65 or 60%. And so syndicators are raising a lot more capital in order to. If they're deals done, they're paying, you know, 7%, pref, 6% pref, whatever they happen to be paying, which is, you know, not as competitive as it used to be when interest rates were down at 2%. Right. You know, if you can borrow money at 2%, why pay 7% pref? Well, now they're getting a lot more closer to each other which is causing pref to move up potentially in some types of deals. And so a lot of lenders are pulling back and it's it's creating demand for private equity for increased amounts of equity and for mezzanine debt, particularly with operators who are running into cash flow issues or maybe didn't buy a rate locks. And so a lot of distress is starting to come into the market.   Daniel Holmlund (00:16:58) - And that's that's kind of been our theme this year. Last year, our theme was in the two years before actually was flight to quality assets, where we invested in A-minus and B plus multifamily assets. We also bought our industrial asset in Kansas City, which is doing well. And this year it's going to be opportunistic to a certain extent deals with pref equity. And so Good Samaritan Capital has shifted its strategy a bit. Last year in our flight to quality deals, we started what's called a fund fund of funds, and we went and invested with large operators like Rise 48 and Lone Star and, you know, big operators who had a good track record of paying out dividends, not dividends distributions. Um, and so we, we went and raised a large chunk of money for them and negotiated with them for better terms. And then an individual would get coming in. And it really dawned on me this year that being able to find better terms is the name of the game. And the only way you can really do that is through scaling.   Daniel Holmlund (00:18:11) - So I'll stop there because I've been talking for a little while. I could keep going, but I'll let you get an edge. A word in?   Sam Wilson (00:18:19) - No, this is good. I'm loving here in the thought process how you guys have shifted, what you are looking for, what you previously invested in. You know, we're running out of time, but I do I do want to hear about because we've kind of got the back picture on where you've seen things and where how you guys are shifting your strategy, but you've launched a growth fund. I do want to highlight this before before we get off the call here, which is talk about your growth fund, because I think inside of that, when you talk about the four different things you guys are doing will really help kind of backfill the rest of what you were previously talking about.   Daniel Holmlund (00:18:55) - Yeah, it's realizing that scale was needed in order to be able to come to the table and get better terms. We've launched the Good Samaritan Capital Growth Fund. It's a 506 C fund for accredited investors, and we are targeting four main strategies which we think are are particularly good in this environment.   Daniel Holmlund (00:19:16) - In fact, I think there's a short window for it in this environment. And the first one is, is new construction. In the short term, we're going to see a lot of cash flow crunches. And so I want our focus to be on the areas where we can deliver for our investors, and that's in long term, long term growth. So we're looking at new construction, particularly new construction of land that is already permitted and already has the the architectural diagrams signed off by the counties. So we come in, we'll buy the land, the permits and the diagrams and then partner with new construction companies in order to build midsize multifamily 30 to 40 to 50 units. That's strategy number one. Strategy number two is, is a continuation of our previous flight to quality strategy, where we invest in multifamily that is long term and is either A-minus or B+. And usually I like to see some sort of tax abatement. Taxes are the largest expense in a multifamily deal. If you can reduce that expense, which a lot of a lot of municipalities right now are offering tax abatements because there is an increase in affordability.   Daniel Holmlund (00:20:34) - So the county is coming in and helping you subsidize your your renters in many cases. And there's different types of deals. The second and third, I'll do really quickly, there is an opening right now for pref equity deals are beginning to become cash flow constricted and maybe they just need to finish off the last couple of units that they're doing. So there's a pref equity play which is in high demand right now. The the drying up of of markets and the unwillingness of banks to lend or the or only lend to large players has created a vacuum there. And there's an opportunity to step in with pref equity. And then just slightly further up on the. Capital stack is the mezzanine debt. There's a great opportunity for mezzanine debt financing as well. So the long term plays are the new construction and the value add and the shorter term kickers that generate a kick in the fund are the pref equity and the mezzanine debt. And so those are the areas we see as being good places to target this year.   Sam Wilson (00:21:36) - Daniel And then.   Daniel Holmlund (00:21:37) - Probably next year.   Sam Wilson (00:21:39) - Absolutely. No, that's incredibly insightful. I mean, we could spend the next two hours really just breaking down each of those different components, how you vet, how you choose to work along, who you choose to work alongside and, you know, not winding up like you did in 2008, owning assets that you don't necessarily want. You know, how do you guys structure? And we could get into all of that. So maybe you need to come back on the show and we'll re re kind of go or not recap but go through all of those and get it get a little bit deeper. Dive into that.

2:[1:19] There's a great, the great monologue by Billy Crystal in the beginning of that. He's like, your 20s are a blur. Your 30s, you make a little money, raise a wife, have a couple of kids, buy a house. Your 40s, you wake up one day and you think to yourself, what happened to my 30s? He goes on to every decade and then he's like, your 80s, you end up like, you eat breakfast at, or whatever, you eat dinner at five, lunch at 10, breakfast the night before. Track 3:[1:52] It's just like, dinner's at four. Track 1:[1:55] Yeah, exactly. Track 3:[1:56] Dinner's at four. Track 2:[1:56] Oh, it's so good. Track 1:[1:58] They're taking all Tim's happy hour seats. Yeah. All the octogenarians. Track 3:[2:03] My father's in a retirement home and when I talk to him, he says, they're coming for me for dinner earlier every day. It's three o'clock. It's coming for dinner. Track 1:[2:20] Like, dude, just call a happy hour. Fuck it. Yeah. So in 2004, we got the ninth studio record by The Hip, In Between Evolution. This is a, you know. Like Clockwork, every two years we've got a record from this band, you know, and they were still touring their brains out. I think it's a staggering feat, you know, that a band with their original lineup can put out a record every two years, you know, guided by voices or bands like that, notwithstanding, thosesongwriters are, you know, Bob Puller, it's just so prolific. It's, it's unreal. But in terms of band work, bands that tour extensively, I don't know of many other bands that have had this kind of halcyon run. But here we are, talking about it. And as we always do, I want to find out environmentally what you thought of the record, where you listened to it, where you first heard it and what your overall general thoughts are onthis 9th record produced by Adam Kasper. What do you think? Track 2:[3:45] I think the name is very fitting, In Between Evolution, because I feel like this record is a bit in between. And I say that, you know, when you're in elementary school, you see the monkey going, you know, to like Croag Magnon Man and then like getting up through the ages to get to the likemodern day man, modern day human. I feel like this record is maybe not any of those, but something like in between that we sort of haven't seen before, you know. It's certainly an evolved version of the hip, but I can't really attribute it to anything they've ever done before or anything I think they will do. It's very different in a lot of ways. Track 1:[4:38] Where do you listen to this one? Track 2:[4:41] I listen to it everywhere. I listen to it out and about. I listen to it in my office, working. Probably best place was in the car, you know. The car really, this record was, I feel like, made for driving, you know, like a lot of their records, you know. So I would say if I had to pick any environment, definitely my car, I mean, I don't know if it's everybody's car, I have a bit of a bias, given that, you know, I've got a pretty solid soundsystem in my car, like a premium. But yeah, I enjoyed it in the car. Track 3:[5:23] We need a soundbite that's like, that's like, premium sound system. Track 2:[5:31] We can drop that in post. Track 3:[5:32] Yeah. Well, I, you know, I'll disagree with Pete. I, to me, this felt more hip, right out the gates and you know I think Pete and I differed a little bit on the last album and I'm really liking our, you know, compare and contrast. I'll just quickly add Pete's haircuts throwing me off a little bit today, but I can deal. I can deal. But anyways, that looks good. [6:06] I thought In Violet Light, the last album, what we reviewed was a little bit of a departure and super polished and, you know, made for like, I don't know, an award stage or something.Maybe have the Oscars on the mind. but I thought in Between Evolution, I looked at the title wondering if that meant they were coming back to their own production type, style, soundrecording. You know, I didn't really understand the title for this one because it felt more like a hip album to me. [6:43] The producer, you know, I looked up to see who did this one. Adam Kasper, he did all kinds of bands in Seattle. Mudhoney, Nirvana, you know, the Foo Fighters, he worked with REM. I don't know if it was all in Seattle, but Soundgarden. He even did some work with Cat Power, who Amy and I adore. One of our favorite singer-songwriters. Just, you know, you worked with amazing musicians. And all these musicians I just listed, maybe except for kind of Aerosmith, I'm not exactly a fan of. But, you know, these are bands, maybe Aerosmith, who wear their hearts on their sleeve and really are just going for it. And almost achieving a status where they have a following and they have their shit down and they can kind of do what they want, you know? And I felt like this album went back to the band a little bit more doing what they want. So I was pretty excited, pretty excited by it. Track 1:[7:43] Can you describe that a little bit more? Like, what do you mean by what they want? Track 3:[7:49] Well, the last album I thought was overproduced. I thought it was... Track 1:[7:52] Right, right. Track 3:[7:53] I thought it was too scripted, you know, I thought it was too, like, ha, here we go back to food metaphors. It's like showing up at a restaurant with a preset menu. That's what I felt the last album was, and I felt like this one was a little bit more carefree. It was a little bit more back to experimental. The lyrics, the themes behind all the songs were, in certain ways, like what I've experienced from other albums past themes, with variation and variety. I don't know, this felt more hip to me. This just felt more like the first handful of albums that got me excited about where the band was going. So in that regard, it's like, yeah, fuck. Let's do this every two years. We're going on 10 years. Or this was the ninth album, right? So it's over 10 years. And that, that to me, as Pete knows, as someone who has recorded, that is such a... [8:58] Heroic work with Yeah with touring to as much as these guys toured I mean It's remarkable that they're all still digging each other so much, you know Yeah, but from also from acouple of things that I read during this tour Is when Gord at one point commented about, even if there's differences going on behind the scenes or Or there was some tour manager issues, Iguess, that once they got on stage and started playing, that they just were a band. They were like NSYNC and just super, super in the groove. Track 2:[9:41] Not like NSYNC. Track 3:[9:42] Yeah, they were very much NSYNC. Just super in the groove, which means they're like this fucking locomotive still. So I think it's still super impressive. Even with a band that I'm not as impressed with or fond of, it's still an impressive feat to go this far with recording, producing, touring, everything. Track 1:[10:05] Yeah. Track 2:[10:07] Yes. Track 3:[10:08] Hands down. Absolutely. Track 2:[10:09] Kudos. Track 1:[10:11] And in terms of environments for you? Track 3:[10:14] Yeah, so it was a lot of car. I listened to it pretty quick after our last review. There's a lot of car time and some home time. I don't play their music much at home over my home systems. So it's a lot of car, a lot of headphones. It's a little more intimate for me to do it that way and I also really enjoy when bands geek out on recording, and you can hear things with headphones on that you wouldn't normally reallybe in tune with if you're just walking around the house playing it through your ear. Track 2:[10:56] There's a few of those on this record. Track 3:[10:57] Yeah, there's a few of those on this record, and I love that stuff. I mean, that to me shows that a band is really caring about their listeners and their fans and their art. There's a few of that. Track 1:[11:14] Well let's dig in then. Heaven is a better place today. Track 3:[11:21] So, yeah, this one, you know, there's been a few albums where... My first listen to the first song. I've never done a random listen first try, you know, and that's the way so many people experience music these days. I hear a song from an artist. So I might have to try that as an experiment on some album. But you know, first listen to Heaven is a Better Place Today in the car. It was like, yes, here we go. Like, Pete, you mentioned a great road trip soundtrack or whatever. This is totally it. It felt like a good, fun, solid opener with a drive and the carry of the drums and the bass really throughout this album seemed a little more...I mean they're always solid butthis one just even seemed more gelled, which is kind of hard to even imagine these guys doing. I loved Gord's singing. He's kind of at an elevated pitch with this one and, you know, from what I understand, it's...well. [12:33] My first take was like, this feels like a memorial song, like this is a tribute to somebody and Of course later learned that it's in part about Dan Snyder. I mean, I'm not a hockey guy I mean even I couldn't even tell you who Atlanta's team is or was Atlanta thrashers. That's probably my favorite hockey team name though so, you know read a little bit about Danny Heatley, did I just say his name wrong? No, don't sorry Dan Snyder Snyder Um, he was killed when is with his teammate Danny Healy. Track 1:[13:08] That's right. Track 3:[13:09] They're the ones who were Wrecked some sports car, which is such a tragic story, you know to hear about somebody famous wrecking in a sports car. It's just It's kind of an awesome way to go. But anyways, you know, I thought it was good solid Opener really really easy ending. It was like, okay, let's keep going How about you Pete I dug it. Track 2:[13:32] I mean, I echo a lot of what Tim said. I mean, I feel like a great opening track. I really got some some some cure vibes here. I really felt like this song had, Yeah, just I heard a lot of the cure in here. I think Gord's vocals, clearly this is a record and we'll kind of get into it with more songs and stuff. Not just, I feel like there's so many songs that probably killed it live on this record, but that Gord's vocals really just keep evolving into something new. I mean, I feel like every member of the band grows a lot, but he's just, it's like everybody takes three steps forward and Gord takes like nine. You know, he skips where everybody just takes steps. It's crazy, man. Track 3:[14:36] Completely. Track 2:[14:37] That's not like a diss on anybody in the band. It's just, I think he thinks differently, or he thought differently, either way, I dug this song. I thought it was a great opener. The second track, Summer's Killing Us, yeah, this is another one where the vocals really do it for me. Um, there's a, there's a part, well, during the chorus, when Gord's singing, um, Summer is Killing Us, like his voice is cracking. You can hear it breaking on the recording. And it's just like, it doesn't crack. Like it's, it just fits. It's perfect. And you're like, this guy's, this guy's, he's redlining the engine and the car is still going. you, You know what I mean? Track 3:[15:33] Like, and the car, I think, has like, 300,000 kilometers on it, you know? Yeah, and it's just like, go, go, go, who cares? Track 1:[15:43] Yeah, they could sing, sing, sing all day. Track 2:[15:47] Yeah, it's I mean, it's had its oil changes and services, I'm sure. Track 3:[15:51] Exactly. Track 2:[15:52] The drums, another thing about the drums on this, I watched some, well, you guys know, I'll talk about a little more later songs, but the drums on this song, A song that just seemslike it's probably so much fun to play for Jonny Faye. Just the stops, the fills, just, it just seemed like if anybody's having a blast, it's him and Gord Downie are just fucking having a ball to this song. Track 3:[16:20] I think you've commented on that before, too. And this one, this one I noticed, you know, first listen was like, oh, he's having fun. There's some fills in there, and that made me think this one live, you know, probably varied a little bit, but probably just kicked ass, too. Yeah, I think. Track 2:[16:39] Yeah, and I gotta say, this is gonna sound really bad, so I want to frame it right. I just want to throw this in because I feel like if I didn't throw it in, I'd be... My initial thought... So this is 2004, right? Yeah. 2003, 2004. 2004 you think when they're recording writing this song I got just Gord's vocals and his phrasing very much got some like early 2000s emo vibes to it. I actually heard and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way So no, no do not give away my address JD. I don't I mean Canada's a far away from Spain, but I got getting hip to the hip calm. Yeah for for comments Emo my ass No, but I really heard I heard a dashboard confessional song Yes pretty mind-blowing, you know Yeah, okay. You hear me? Track 3:[17:41] Okay, I do. I do. I would a million times rather listen to this band. No, 100%. Track 2:[17:48] But I hear you. Track 3:[17:50] But I hear you. Track 2:[17:51] And no, no offense, because I think that I think the guy I can't remember his, his name, the guy. Track 3:[17:56] That's okay. Track 2:[17:57] No, I know. No, just respect him as a musician. I think he's a good musician. I just don't fancy his music much. Anyway. Track 3:[18:08] You know, I was shouting this chorus in the car. Like, first listen, you could sing along to this one. If you know the band, you're like, fucking hyped. Hell yeah, it's a song about summer. Who doesn't like a song about summer? Track 1:[18:19] That's right. Track 3:[18:20] That band always sings about summer, said no one ever. So this one, you could just go. There's awesome stops, there's a good bridge, there's... A few times on this album I think there's more of a focus on just I don't know how to say it Pete but just a better rhythm guitar less riffy like the feel like this album has riff sections thatare a little bit more defined or declared maybe yeah yeah yeah this one gourds at like the three-minute He's like, whoo, you know when he left that it is so good I love that. I love that. Track 1:[19:05] I mean I like exhausted slash. Track 3:[19:06] I'm awesome slash I don't even know what the other slash would be but it's like it's great Yeah, if you're having a moment and you stop and you can actually breathe and do thatwhoo I mean you're having a good day like something's going on something's going on that you're enjoying or you're relieved But I also thought this song was like a song about being tiredand touring and working. Also, you know, maybe some of the research I did, that maybe there were some references again to the South, or slavery, or prison life, you know, that's just like, summer's killing us, youknow? It's amazing and beautiful and tough at the same time. That's kind of what I thought about this song. It's, it felt, this is a few times I have had this happen where the song feels long, but it's like measured in a good way. It's like, it's just, there's enough verses, enough choruses. Track 1:[20:12] I think this is one of the longer songs on the record. Track 3:[20:15] Yeah, yeah. This was, this was fun. Track 2:[20:19] This song, this song also, I just wanted to throw this in too, because I kind of forgot to mention it, one of the cool things about it is that it just goes from this, the chorus is sofucking, but then when it goes back into like the verse, it just, it brings it down again. It just, it just, it flattens it like a, like a compressor. It just flattens it really quick and just makes it even again. You're like, whoo, like the dynamic of the band recordings. It's really cool. That's a hard thing to pull off, man. Track 1:[20:53] I really regret not seeing this tour. Like, really. I have so much regret not seeing this tour. Because this is the first tour that I missed since the beginning. This is the first one that I didn't go see a show. And listening to the record now, it's like, oh man, it's again, so much of it seems to be written to be live, you know? Track 3:[21:18] She must have been really cute, JD. Pardon me? Your girlfriend at the time, I guess. You were busy. Track 1:[21:29] Oh, yeah. Track 2:[21:30] Yeah. Track 3:[21:31] Dude, the next song, you know, Gus, I faintly remember hearing about this. Track 1:[21:35] Yes. Track 3:[21:37] Back then. I mean, if we go back to 2004, you know, this is like the era, politics aside, because we'll probably get into that, but this is like the era when shit online started to take off,you know? Everybody's looked at YouTube. Some of your friends might be listening to Pandora, which at that time had the best radio feature. You could like mix stations and you know There's a lot there's a lot going on electronically The zeros are ones then i'm pretty sure i heard about this song and um, I was telling amy wifeamy yesterday this story about gus This polar bear from central park and uh how they they just deduced that, He was depressed And amy's like no shit polar bear and Activity it was likeyeah, I mean a polar bear's life is what? [22:39] Sleeping, drinking, killing, eating, fucking. I mean, let's put a polar bear in captivity and see how hyped he is. I mean, that's just terrible. So this is amazing that they, I guess, Gord, I don't know who exactly picked up on the story and wrote this one. And, you know, this is also where there was some, maybe the beginning of this album with some political under things here as well but there's this first guitar riff at the beginning of thissong Pete I'm sure you heard it but there's like this there's this weird guitar kind of distortion distortion yeah like that that attack at the beginning is like I wish also I mean live it wouldprobably been so fun to hear that I'm sure it varied a little bit but that's like that outro that outro live must have been so yeah banging yeah drums are huge in this one you know and i'vejust i dug this song it was it was fun there's i could go on and on about it but you know just this poor guy gus he's staring at food all day at the zoo i mean he would eat all these people yesgawking at him so of course he's suffering from depression this is like during this era, scientists were like, he might be depressed. [24:06] Bears, animals can have sentiments of depression. [24:11] It's fucking hilarious. Terrible. Track 2:[24:16] I mean, where do I put down my fucking flag here with this one, dude? First of all, if I was going to start a bar fight, this would be the fucking song I'd put on the J-box right before I picked up the neck of a Labatt Blue, fucking break it over somebody's headand just start a melee. Track 3:[24:41] Shit. Track 2:[24:42] Okay. Track 3:[24:43] Watch out, Hamilton. Yeah. Track 2:[24:49] So, Tim, you're telling the story of the polar bear from Central Park, right? And now that you're telling the story, I remember it. Yeah. Track 3:[24:57] Yeah, me too. Track 2:[24:58] But during listening to this, I didn't remember it because that was a long time ago. And I drank a lot of beer and done a lot of shit since then. And so it didn't register. And so I pictured like a bearded homeless man, a giant bear of a man who was depressed and an alcoholic sitting and fucking with people in Central Park. That's who I heard when I heard this song. I didn't, I didn't at all have any correlation with the actual story of Costa Polar Bear. But this is the now this this album, and then some subsequent YouTube videos that I explored this week, really got me digging into the vibe that is Paul Langlois, because you could Youcan just hear this thumping, it's a thumping vibe that he has with this Les Paul that he's playing and it just fucking rips. This song is the tiger, the lion of this record. Track 3:[26:13] I had the same sentiment for sure. Track 2:[26:17] It's the fucking tiger, the lion of this record. What else? I would say I literally, I literally wrote, I literally wrote that, that, that, that I would be cracking balls a little bit blue, a little bit blue over people's heads. But no, it's the tiger, the lion of this record. And I feel like Neil Young is a lot of guitar on this this record is very Neil Young focused. Track 1:[26:50] I can hear Crazy Horse in this. Track 2:[26:53] Yeah, there's another song that's undoubtedly Crazy Horse. But the end, the solo, Rob Baker proceeds, and I'm going to read this verbatim. The solo, Rob Baker proceeds to melt your fucking face off with a complete and utter disregard for human life. Track 3:[27:10] And that he does. Track 2:[27:13] He starts off that way. He just, well, it just, the solo towards the end is just, it's just fucking, fuck me, man. Track 1:[27:25] Yeah, very good. Track 2:[27:26] Great fucking tune. Probably, yeah, this is, this may end up on the, for my pick, who knows. Track 1:[27:33] All right, we roll into the first single from the record. So this would be the song that introduced most people to this record and it's it's a song called vaccination scar First of all before we get into vaccination scar to either you guys have avaccination scar Nope. No, my cousin has one and she's a year younger than me And I don't understand how she has one and I don't like expired shit. Track 3:[27:59] They put in her arm, I guess maybe it's all my ears on your arm no it's on my calf oh wow okay it's on my calf well it's almost gone now but it was pretty prominent um almost untili turned 20 or something around there i mean my my brain with this one went just went to you know Pfizer and all the all the crazy bullshit oh no oh no i mean that's where i went i readthe song Title and I know okay. This is probably about the booster the the cigar look bird Vaccination scar on my sister's left arm. She's got right here. She's like three years older than me So she's got it. But you know and that's like why the fuck did that thing scar like that? I don't know. Could you imagine I mean, why didn't they build that into the the Johnson Johnson? Johnson and Johnson could have had like, they have that trippy logo. Have you ever seen their actual brand logo? Track 1:[28:59] No. Track 3:[28:59] Oh, people say it has like Satan in it, basically. Oh, of course. It's hilarious. Pete, you would like that research. It's too bad. Track 1:[29:08] But I'll tell you, this song would be a completely different song if the band still existed and they released a song called Vaccination Scar now. Oh, big time. Wonder what the fuck it would be about. Track 3:[29:21] Yeah They might lose listeners and gain listeners at the same. Track 1:[29:25] Yeah, it's true Well, this one a throwback to a throwback, you know We've got the slide guitar again that we haven't really rolled out for a couple records. I don't think What you guys think? Track 3:[29:37] I You know the whole when they get into the slide guitar and kind of go back to So, you know the southern belt of the US kind of sound of rock and that's it's not my favorite thatthey do but right yeah I was a little surprised to hear this is the most listened song song on Spotify I look at that at those that I know I look at that data at the end of kind of my listening Idon't look at that at the beginning. Track 1:[30:09] It does blow my mind because I get it that it's a single. Track 3:[30:11] Yeah why? Is it because it has vaccination in the name? Track 1:[30:15] It might be, because the fact that it's a single shouldn't factor into Spotify at this point. Yeah, yeah. Unless they do, unless they sort of do. Track 2:[30:27] No, they don't retroactive, they don't retroactive shit like that. No. Track 3:[30:32] Yeah, I wouldn't think so either. Yeah, but I thought, you know, this is really, It's the second song. With political references to George Bush, the Iraq invasion, the WMDs that didn't exist, like this, there's references in the song about all of that. And that in and of itself is like a time capsule of sorts. Track 1:[30:57] Yeah, and we were thinking the world was a pretty bad place then. Track 3:[31:00] Yeah, it's basically an anti-war song, even though like during that era, I don't know, there were like six or eight other countries that were on board with this whole attack, you know,I believe Spain was one of them. Track 2:[31:13] So it's for everyone. Yeah. Right. States. Track 3:[31:19] So, you know, I, I hate to say it, but I enjoy like hearing something political referencing the times and, you know, it becomes a time capsule type of song with, with those themesduring, let's see, I guess late 80s, in which these guys would have been totally in tune with. You know, that's when the Bushes were really rising to power and going after mega weapons developments. And a buddy of mine grew up in the Carolinas during those George Bush senior years and knew the family, and they have crazy stories about shit they were doing. I don't need the FBI chasing me, but like, a lot of bullshit activity that involves war and weapons in the corporate aspect of America's machine and economy running on just. The war machine. So that's where I feel like Gord's really tapping into in this album. And it keeps going. He's kind of in it in this album. Track 1:[32:27] It was a tough environment to not be in it. And it rips my heart right out of my ribcage and throws it on the ground to think that this band isn't around anymore. Because I would love to know what Gord's thinking about... Track 2:[32:41] You're burying my fucking lead, JD. Track 1:[32:43] Sorry, buddy. Go ahead. Track 2:[32:44] No, no, dude, no, run with it, run with it. Track 3:[32:47] They'd be the Pussy Riot of Canada, I'll tell you that. Track 2:[32:49] JD, please, please continue, I'm sorry. Track 1:[32:51] I just, I just, you know, I just, I would just love to hear his take on what's been going on the last five or six years, you know? And we really missed out on that. And that's like, fuck cancer, you know? Fuck cancer. Yeah, yeah. Some of the lyrics in this, I think they just roll. I think the way he sings in this song He's he's into that lower register, you know Like you said the with the side guitar like it's it's almost anolder version of the band and he's singing again in that older Version voice but man some of the lyrics that he strings together like even the chorus. There's one thing I remember is the tear and the there's one thing I remember is this tear on your bare shoulder this little silver boulder the slowly falling star we're rolling so what nevergetting older where the moon shock curtains part to the start of enough a teardrop then a vaccination scar like holy shit I don't know how I get all that out imagine that writing moment inpen in hand and, you're just like it's just yeah it's incredible yeah well yeah I mean, I echo everything that you guys have said. Track 2:[34:09] Funny point. Just I don't want to leave it out because you made me think of it, Tim, when you were talking about George Bush. This is not unknown, but a great George H.W. Bush fact, Bush number one, our first Bush president, doesn't remember where he was the day Kennedy was shot. What? Track 1:[34:34] Yeah, yeah. Track 2:[34:35] Look that up. That's a total fact. And he was actually in Dallas because there's There's like evidence of it, but you know, everybody's like, I mean, I remember where I was in thechallenge of blew up I remember where I was when Kobe Bryant died when I remember when yeah 9-11 out. Sorry Yeah, Kobe Bryant was you know, now that was a big bit bigger. No offense to Kobe fans But yeah, and he was asked where were you when Kennedy was shot? He's like, I don't remember like what? Track 1:[35:05] Yeah Everybody of that generation, my mom knew where she was and she was a Canadian in Waterford. Track 3:[35:10] You know, they're so detached. The, the, the, the, that whole section of political history just lived on. Track 2:[35:17] If by detached, you mean culpable, Tim, then yes. Track 3:[35:21] Yeah, yeah, completely. I mean, like just not relatable. They just, honestly, like my, my buddy and his family in the late eighties, early 90s, used to meet up at one of their homes. This is the story. Used to meet up at one of their homes on the coast, Bush's homes. And like, oh, our new whatever jet boat is going to come by. Can't wait to show you guys. We'll go for a ride. Like just completely alternative, horrible reality of life and what's appropriate. Track 2:[35:59] Yeah, I mean, that family's, I mean, what more could you say without getting too political? Track 3:[36:04] There was a moment when, we'll get off of politics here, there was a moment during the Trump administration where I was like, damn, I would take Mr. Bush Jr. any moment, bring him back right now, let's swap him out. And I never would have thought that when he was in office. You know? Track 2:[36:22] Well, yeah, it's pretty sad. Track 1:[36:24] For sure, I feel the same way. Track 2:[36:26] It's pretty sad, though, that we're at, that stage, I mean, to bring it back to the record and sort of to not bring it back to the record, because musically, I feel like this song, you guyssummed it up. But in terms of what JD said about the one thing I thought about this song, I kept thinking about was Gord and if he was alive today and this band was alive today. And I say that because he was such a unifying icon for Canada and the band was, I mean, the guy could bring people together completely. And I think America's been divided for a long time. Tim and I both know that pretty well and anybody from the outside who's windowed… That's like his West Coasters, right? You guys really have felt it. Track 3:[37:26] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Track 2:[37:29] But I think that in terms of Canada and everything that went on during the whole COVID lockdown and stuff, I feel like Gord would have had a really interesting take on it. Because I feel like there was the... You know, it's, there's always three sides of every story. And the way we kind of, most people experience COVID, most people, you either were fucking hardcore on the left, or you'rehardcore on the right. But there's one thing I've learned in life. There's the way you think it happened. It's the way the other person thought it was happened. And then there's the way it really happened. Track 1:[38:06] Look at you dropping extreme references, three sides to every story. Track 2:[38:10] I'm just saying, I feel like Gordon would bring a fucking take, and the band would bring a take to, you know, what's going on in life at this time. That just would open people's eyes. And a lot of people on both the right and the left would shut the fuck up and listen to A Voice of Reason, which- I think you're right. Would have been Gord Downie, had it not been for his untimely death. Track 3:[38:35] But I mean, we have that in this day and age, but it's just spread out. And I don't know, less, it's smaller, smaller doses more widely spread out through music today. Well, there's plenty of bands doing it, but like, I don't know. Track 2:[38:53] I agree sort of, Tim, but I think musically, it's one thing to do it musically, but Gord was more than a musician. Track 3:[39:00] Yeah, yeah. Track 2:[39:01] From what I've seen, he's a guy that would get up and make a fucking statement, like outside of music and nowadays I feel like when people make a statement that it's against, thecommon narrative of whatever, They're tarred and feathered as either. You're a racist fuck or you're a liberal Nancy or whatever it is. And the funny thing about Gord is you couldn't do that to him because he was Canada's fucking golden boy. So I would have loved to have seen anybody in Canada try to throw shade onthat motherfucker when he was... Had he been here to dispel the truth like he always liked to do. Anyway, I digress. How about... Track 3:[39:43] I have a feeling like only rednecks in the South were throwing shade at him, you know. Track 1:[39:49] There's a reference in this song about singing Life is Forgetting, and Life is Forgetting is in quotes. I looked it up, I can't find a song called Life is Forgetting. Is that something that rings the bell for you guys? Or is that just, you know, the narrator basically saying that that's a song that somebody's singing that's made up? Track 3:[40:12] Not sure. Track 2:[40:15] No. I'm not sure either. But if I take it into context of what we're talking about, I think people forget, life is forgetting. Tim made the reference earlier about wanting George Bush over Donald Trump at the height of whatever. And I think people forget, you know, I am not Not a Donald Trump fan, didn't vote for the guy, but you can take all the shit that's said and everything, and I'm not carrying water foranybody, let me make this fucking clear, but it's mind boggling to me how we can think that, and I thought it at times too Tim, you're not alone in that, I think a lot of people thought it, buthow we could, be like, I'd rather have a guy who started a war, an illegal war on lies that killed upwards of a million people. In the White House right now, rather than a guy who's just a total piece of shit scumbag who shouldn't be there in the first place. Like we forget that there's a guy who is literally responsible for killing a million people and starting multiple illegal wars. And we'd rather have that person. So life is forgetting, JD. I think that line belongs in that song. If we're talking about politics. Track 1:[41:41] Well, he said fuck this and fuck that and this guy's the diplomat. It can't be Nashville every night. Track 3:[41:52] I love the simplicity of this one. It's quick. You know, what we are is what we lack. That song was just like, if anything's going to make you think about oneself and what you're portraying and working on, or I don't know, that statement just slapped me. There's Gord, I think, is faintly doing his own backup singing in this one, if you really crank it in your headphones, and it's fucking awesome, and it was even kind of cute. I just dug it. The chorus, or maybe it's a verse, I don't know, the la-la-oh-oh-yas, you know, just simple, good rock and roll. Apparently, he's poking fun at Toby Keith with this song. Track 1:[42:41] Oh, did not know that. Track 3:[42:42] He was a country music singer who was pro-America, pro-military, pro-goat. Track 2:[42:51] He was Tarn and Feather the Dixie Chicks, man. He was one of the guys that went against the grain on that and threw them out to try. Track 3:[42:59] Yeah, I also think this is like a song that's, Trying to let artists know that there's more to life than producing a single, you know? This is a time of this era, fucking Maroon 5, Nickelback, you know? This is a little bit later Lenny Kravitz, but when Lenny Kravitz is just like glossed up and just everyone knows the chorus, you know? But nobody has bought the album, maybe. I don't know. I'm not dissing Lenny Kravitz too much. You can diss Lenny Kravitz. He's his own... Well, he's the institution. I mean, I saw him play live and he was incredible. Track 1:[43:37] I did too. That first record was really good with the cab driver on it. Track 3:[43:42] Yep. I saw Blind Melon open for them. Me too! Track 1:[43:46] Oh, shit. Track 3:[43:47] Dude, okay, just to digress. Blind Melon kicked Lenny and his band's ass. Like, Blind Melon, they were so good then. You know, they... Track 2:[43:59] Yeah, we've had this conversation, Jake. Track 3:[44:00] Yeah, so good. So good. So anyways, you know, the song I thought was short and great. And it's just, it's got some good quick statements. It was, I don't know, it just fit for where it was at and everything. That's about it. Track 2:[44:17] Cool. I dug this tune. Real quick, just to my Lenny Kravitz comment, not dissing the guy, I like the music. I think his daughter is a great actress. Track 3:[44:30] Gorgeous. Track 2:[44:31] Just never trust a guy who only plays a flying V. Track 3:[44:33] Never. Track 2:[44:38] It's a fucking red flag, ladies. Track 3:[44:40] At the beginning of COVID, he was apparently stuck on his island in the Caribbean, or like a island with just a handful of other people living there. And he's just like, just living off coconuts and pineapples and avocados, bro. I was like, fuck you. That sounds perfect. Yeah, I would have killed for that. Track 2:[45:03] Yeah, I dug the song. I thought, I thought this is another one that would have been awesome live. The groove was just fantastic. There's a line that he delivers that I'm sure you guys all noticed, but I love the the way it's, one is stares into the blur, stares into the glare, stares into the queer. And it's just fucking, like the way he delivers it, I was like, what is he saying there? And I had to look up the lyrics, cause it was so cool. Cool. Johnny Faye, literally, I don't know what it is, man. But like, this is when he's around early 2000. He started like getting like destroying crash cymbals. And I know I pointed out to you guys this week as I was watching the video, like there's a, there's a concert they were playing, maybe it was at the Fillmore where he just broke a fuckingcymbal, because the motherfucker hit it so hard. And you can see a guy replacing the cymbal like just coming in. Track 3:[46:04] He has a drum tech, you know? Track 2:[46:06] Oh, yeah, I know. Well, I mean, he's got something to come in and do it. But like, middle of the song, guy's got to come in and replace the cymbal. I love it. Track 3:[46:14] So cool. Track 2:[46:14] So cool. This is this song and a number of others to point out at the end of the song, if you're wearing headphones, you can hear a couple drumsticks click. Mm hmm. Oh, so this is this is one of the many Easter eggs on this record. Track 3:[46:31] Yeah, I heard that too at first. I was like, is he hitting the rim? But it really sounded like sticks. Track 2:[46:36] There is one that he does. Track 3:[46:37] He does. Track 1:[46:38] He's just putting them down, though, right? He's just putting the sticks down kind of thing? Track 3:[46:41] I mean, in general, yeah. You hear a little more drum nuggets on this album. Track 2:[46:47] But I feel like these songs are like, it's just a signal to like, that was Johnny's song. Like, all the ones that have those, this is Johnny's song. Because he just fucking ripped on these ones. Track 3:[46:59] Yeah, I feel like when a drummer does that, when a drummer just slaps down the sticks, It's like at the end of a good meal, and you just set your knife and fork down, and you'relike, fuck. Just nailed it. And drummers do that with drummers that care. When bands nail it, you can't. I wish I could produce, because I would love to just yell at musicians, and tell them they're awesome, and tell them they're terrible. Track 2:[47:26] Just kidding. Track 3:[47:28] Just kidding. But that's that sound. That's like that triumphant sound of just killing it. Track 1:[47:34] I win. Yeah, touchdown. We move next to Back, in fact. Back to New Orleans. This is the second geographical song on the record of three, which is interesting. But it's also a trip back to New Orleans. And I can't think of many other bands that would have a song as iconic as New Orleans is sinking, which would still be so heavy in the tourrotation and then they release another song with the same name in it. I know that sounds like really trivial but it's interesting to me. It's really interesting. And this is a very different look at New Orleans and a very different sound but I dig this song. Track 3:[48:23] Did they play there? Chady? They played like a small clubs there, right? Track 1:[48:29] Yeah, likely. Yeah down in the down in the south. They weren't you know quite as As big as they were on the west coast and across the border for sure there was yeah They always but they always played like I mean they would do like au.s. Track 3:[48:45] Tour that would be like 40 dates probably, you know, like they they were fairly thorough There was some reference it with this one about him him going back to New Orleans withfriends or something, just for vacation. And I guess maybe in part this is about that visit, because he found places he wanted to go to that were closed, or... Track 1:[49:08] Oh, okay. It's post-Katrina? Track 3:[49:11] I mean, it's 2004. Track 2:[49:11] No, it's pre-Katrina. Track 1:[49:13] Yeah. Track 3:[49:13] Pre-Katrina. Track 1:[49:14] Okay. Track 3:[49:16] I thought this, you know, it's probably the most beautiful song on the album. It's just serene. I don't know, it's love, it's death, it's fading, you know, rashing away the smiles. It's like, fuck, that's just like storing up in your heart for the future, you know, it's just gorgeous guitar during the chorus. It's just, this is a great one. Track 2:[49:39] Yeah, I thought that, I think this probably might be one of the better, if not one of the best hip songs. And I say that, I don't say that lightly. I think it's a really good song and yeah, JD, I mean, I wrote the notes like, what's the deal with New Orleans? You know, why? Just the song was beautiful. There's the lead in to it and then throughout the song, Rob Baker's using what I think by that time was probably pretty dialed in. He was using an Ebo on his guitar, which is like one of those. You ever seen one of those before? No. I've never been able to use it. I'm not a good enough guitar player to be able to use it. Track 1:[50:27] You stop. Track 2:[50:27] No, dude, they're fucking hard to use. Track 1:[50:29] Everybody go out and buy the record, Marchika, and the first one is out. The second one is in production? Track 2:[50:39] So the the the ebow is like a light it's like a ultraviolet light on this thing and you hold it over the guitar string and it it vibrates the string so it makes it sound like a violin bow henceebow electric bow. Oh okay I had no idea. Track 3:[50:57] Me neither. Track 2:[50:58] It's an amazing effect and it's really cool um some guys can pull it off with like volume and sustain but like he's not He's using an EBO on this shit. And it's fucking, it's just a testament to the, like how talented these guys are. how you can. Take what we've heard for the first five songs of this record and then bring it to this and just you're like transported to New Orleans and just you just I thought I kept thinking I saw NewOrleans in this and then hearing this song I felt like God I wish I could have heard this live at like Red Rocks. Track 3:[51:35] Hell yeah yeah oh man. Track 2:[51:39] Clear sky completely pitch black No lights, just drop the lights. Give me a spotlight on Gordon, nothing else. And Rob Baker during the EBO, but other than that. Track 1:[51:49] **Matt Stauffer** Of course. Track 3:[51:51] You have to be on psychedelics to use that thing or what? That sounds difficult. Track 2:[51:54] **Robert Walsh** Dude, it's hard. Track 3:[51:54] **Matt Stauffer** That sounds, yeah. Track 2:[51:56] **Robert Walsh** It looks easy and everybody's like, yeah, it's not easy. It's not easy. Track 1:[52:04] **Matt Stauffer** All right, let's go to to You're Everywhere and Reel Our Irish In. Track 2:[52:12] The, I dug this song. The fucking melody in this song is just, it's wild. I dug it. I dug it. It has a cool, it straps you in a little bit, like kind of soft and easy, but it just builds. I feel like the lyrics to this song are scathing. I didn't dig much into the meaning. But like reading them, just reading them once, I think when I had listened to it a number of times, I was like, Whoa, whoever or whatever this ismaking reference to is a tense subject. Track 3:[53:00] Yeah, so to speak. Gord's angry. Track 1:[53:03] Can you guys be more specific? Track 2:[53:08] If I'd brought up lyrics, I could've. Track 3:[53:10] I mean, on that note, I heard this song and I knew these guys were recording in Seattle and I figure that probably at this point in their career, probably not everything is writtenbefore recording, you know, like ahead of time, weeks or anything. And I imagine these guys, you know, what are they doing, staying in some hotel in Seattle near this recording studio? And the fucking news during this era is nonstop all the time. You know, it's just like, bad news all the time about the war and GWB. And I mean, I wrote, you know, the heaviness of this song, I wrote, we're bombarded by by fear, we were then and now, fear and despair, and then driven out to be sold by hope, tarnishedby soldiers dying, or not having proper access to healthcare, or being addicts, or suicide rates, you know, when vets return from all of our glorious wars, and it's just kind of like the bandfeeling. That the only way that anyone can attack this kind of corporate war machine that's happening is Is to sing about it, you know produce art about it there's a line in there that it keeps theeconomy alive it's like This song is the fuck that bullshit song, you know, you're everywhere point of the war man smedley butler's War is a racket. Track 2:[54:38] Yeah, you haven't read it. It's pretty it's pretty quick read Yeah. Fuck, yeah, I got a lot of what was going on during this time in this record. It felt very like, if I closed my eyes and listened to this record and I had no idea when it was made, I would have been like, 2003, 2005, somewhere in there. And not just because of the music itself, but yeah, because the content of it was just But this is another one that has drumsticks sound, putting down the drumsticks at the end. So this is another one. Yeah. This is the second song that uses a slide too, so I'm not a big fan of the slide, but It's hard to not enjoy it when it's placed properly. And a song, if it's done well. So I think this song does a good job. Track 3:[55:43] I mean, sometimes there's a time and a place. I don't know. It's more of a historical feature to guitar playing for me. I can't imagine some new song that would really enjoy that's featuring a slide. Track 1:[55:58] Well, that's why I was so strange that Vaccination Scar was the first single. Especially when Heaven is a Better Place Today is such a banger to open the record. Yeah, why yeah Don't know. Don't know. I mean it wasn't it wasn't having this place better place today Wasn't a single at all. The singles were vaccination scar. It can't be Nashville every night and then Gus Was the third single which is like pretty ambitious for a band to release that as a, single Yeah are gonna get that. That's right, that's right. Sothey're well past giving a fuck about trying to use singles to bring people in. Yeah, yeah. Track 3:[56:46] Which, how wonderful. Track 1:[56:48] How wonderful, right? Track 3:[56:49] How wonderful. Track 1:[56:50] They're just doing it for art's sake. Track 2:[56:51] Freeing. Track 1:[56:53] Yeah. Track 3:[56:54] I mean, I have a close cousin of mine who plays in a band here in Portland, I'll give him a quick plug, 40 feet tall. And they're super fun. And they just hit it so hard and they have a few total fuck it songs and they do covers every once in a while. They're courageous in their art, which I love, but it's one of those things also that not everybody gets. Sometimes I think maybe the hip missed some listeners in the USA because fucking half Half the countries are dipshits. Track 2:[57:35] You know what, and Tim, I don't disagree with you on there too, but I will say one thing too, just being from America and now not living there, and I know you've lived in Russiafor for some time too, Tim, but. I think the difference with Russia and the United States, and this is somebody who hasn't lived in Russia, but there's somebody who's also lived outside the United States. I think America is the most, probably the most propagandized country in the world that doesn't know it's being propagandized. Like at least in Russia, you're like, yeah, this is all bullshit, but we just kind of go along with it anyway. The United States, like people actually believe like when they watch like FoxNews or MSNBC, They actually believe the shit they're seeing on TV. And so when I think about, like both the left and the right, when I think about a band like this, I think like Americans attention span is like that of a fucking housefly. They couldn't appreciate this fucking band if they had a gun to their head. Could be. Most couldn't, dude. They just couldn't. Track 3:[58:42] Could be. Track 2:[58:42] It's just like, and so I think the hip probably just got like, fucking, why are we going to waste our time on these fucking dickheads this was like i said this was a fucking era ofmaroon five and britney spears you know yeah i mean jenny do you have to put explicit lyrics or explicit content on all of these because i just realize i'm dropping a few f-bombs oh yeahyeah okay okay yeah it's and on the old podcast on fully and completely we got a few comments that we swore too much oh really yeah yeah Yeah, Greg and I were like, oh, what thefuck. It was Sam Elliott, and he was drinking a beer, and he was like, do you have to swear so much, dude? Track 3:[59:23] It was all the Toby Keith fans who were like, yeah, I still don't like the hip. Track 1:[59:29] Well, we move next into a real banger, coming out of that moody section with New Orleans is beat and you're everywhere. And we go into as makeshift as you are, or as makeshift as we are. What did you vibe on that one, Pete? Track 2:[59:49] So this song comes on right when I put the quarters into the pool table and I push the slide in and those balls drop and I'm just racking it up. Racking up a game of pool. That's what this song is for me. Track 3:[1:00:06] That's fucking beautiful. Track 2:[1:00:08] Popping a cold Coors Light. There's some really low tone. This is another song and this record really opened up my eyes because I feel like I've been a bit of a fucking Rob Baker fanboy. I'll cop to that. Track 1:[1:00:26] No. Track 2:[1:00:27] Last couple of pods, but Paul Langlois is a fucking solid guitar player, dude. You don't notice it unless you look to it. As a matter of fact, one of the things I was thinking of on this song... And also this week and I was watching some live hit videos and I challenge anybody in the community to do this. Listen to a song or and or watch a live recording a live, you know, performance. Watch it five times and each time focus on the instrument of the person you're focusing on and listen to them play their instrument. It is fucking cool. And I did that a number of times with Paul Aigloire. I've done it many times with Rob Baker more than I care to admit. Track 3:[1:01:25] But no, Paul- Are you having dreams about him? Track 2:[1:01:29] No, no, no, I'm making wisecracks. But it's easy to, it's easy to, the focus to just go right to gourd when the chorus hits or he does some fucking amazing shit. But if you really focus on the individual instruments, you will see how fucking polished these musicians are. Track 3:[1:01:48] Yeah, super pro. Track 2:[1:01:49] And then one line that stuck out to me, I love the bridge in the song. I love the harmonies when they all come in together because it

[2:34] Justin is rejoined today with Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle, who are the journalistic forces behind the award-winning RIMS publication Risk Management Magazine. Morgan is the RIMS publication director and editor-in-chief of the magazine. Hilary is the managing editor of the magazine and ace reporter. [2:54] This is the first part of a two-part interview. It's a mid-year update with talk about the risk news of the day and what's trending and insight for listeners who want to contribute to the magazine on how to pitch and find out what Hilary and Morgan are looking for. Justin welcomes Morgan and Hilary back to RIMScast. [3:20] Justin introduces Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle. The last time they were on the RIMScast was at the end of 2022 with a retrospective of the year. Justin invited them back mid-year to see how things are going in 2023 and take the risk temperature. [4:17] Since her last visit to RIMScast, Hilary has become Managing Editor of the magazine. [4:38] What are the trends in risk management so far in 2023? Morgan notes shootings in the headlines. He borrows a term, Polycrisis, from the Global Risk Report 2023. It's not just all the things happening but their interactions. For instance, storm season may be complicated by inflation, supply chain issues, and lingering post-pandemic issues. [6:01] Hilary sees more complexity to risks. The complexity comes from the different velocities of risks or factors such as the development of technology. Technology changes the velocity of risk. Replacement costs are higher for cars that are more advanced. The supply chain is more complex. Chips come from fewer places. [7:00] Technology is making standard risks a lot more complicated and expensive. There is a more complicated picture of what it means to return to “business as usual” after the pandemic. There are more factors involved to get back to what was usual. [7:48] Hilary doesn't like the term “new normal.” It's a cliché. Everyone's “normal” is not the same. The phrase accepts a certain level of death or harm to other people as a cost of doing business. Dismissing it as normal is not respectful of others. And we're all at a different normal. There is no normal. Morgan notes that it's an imprecise shorthand. [9:32] Most risk management reporting today has a technology tie-in. Technology is a core component of how we do business and how we experience risk. It's not reinventing the wheel every time, but it's levels of complexity each of the time. [10:17] Does Hilary enjoy reporting over and over on cyber? She does enjoy reporting on cyber a lot of the time. It gets to be the same old thing at a point. Reading about new ransomware attacks is interesting but sometimes it's not something she'll cover soon. [12:31] For days, wildfire smoke from Canada caused dangerous smoke levels on the U.S. East Coast. It was an orange haze. Many had to stay indoors. The worst-ever air quality day is now in New York. West Coasters have struggled with that for much longer periods. New York was worse and entirely unexpected. It's hard to manage. [15:40] Morgan feels for the employees in the next town from the wildfires. How do businesses keep their employees safe from so much smoke and sustain their business? And the fires are nowhere near contained. [16:50] RIMS plug time! Sponsor a weekly or dedicated episode of RIMScast! Contact us at pd@rims.org.

[20:59] What is a successful pitch for Risk Management Magazine? It gets back to asking what risk management can do about a thing. The answer is not that they can buy your product. Make it universal so that the audience can consider the risk they are facing. There's no solution to fit everyone. Give broad tips on addressing risk. [22:19] Hilary recommends not using the first-person viewpoint. Look at your experience as a jumping-off point and think about what are the connection points that are relevant to other people. The way a problem impacts your business is specific. What are the problems you have in common with other industries? Tell something of relevance. [23:25] Think about how you would phrase your experience as guidance or a lesson for someone in a different sector. Think about takeaways. List three, five, or ten specific takeaways from your experience that would be interesting or relevant to somebody else. Start there. It's easier to write a piece from that. Morgan says to start with three. [24:58] Morgan says thank you to the readers of Risk Management Magazine, for reading and sharing. He's always happy to hear your comments and feedback. He's grateful that someone would open it and read an article. Hilary would love to hear what they could do better or have you contribute a piece. They are here for you, so reach out!

Plenty of regional chains enjoy a strong local following. In the instance of 75-year-old In-N-Out, we're clearly talking about a cult—one that makes a hardcore Chick-fil-A fan seem wishy-washy. What is it about an old-line burger chain that inspires such loyalty? The food is definitely a hook. But part of the appeal is the insider-y feel that comes with knowing the brand's rich array of peculiarities. What other operation has a thing about palm trees? Or quotes scriptures on its fry sleeves? Fortunately for you newbies, this week's edition of our Restaurant Rewind podcast serves as a primer on the peculiarities that have endured the concept to generation after generation of West Coasters. It's delivered here in anticipation of the chain's expansion to the East Coast.

The West Coast is one of the few places left where house prices remain affordable.  Households spend less than 25 percent of their income on mortgage repayments, while the national average is nearly 50 percent.  Business opportunities are increasing and the region had more sunshine than any other main centre last year. Samantha Gee has spoken to some of those who have chosen to call the West Coast home.  

Unfamiliar fine weather across the Grey District poses a challenge for West Coasters.  The council wants people to conserve water and warns it may have to implement water outages, as no significant rain is forecast for the area in the coming weeks. MetService meterologist Lewis Ferris spoke to Guyon Espiner.   

No division has more volatile fantasy players than the NFC West. Charch and Mat identify a plethora of West Coasters who can make or break your season. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Financial uncertainty hasn't stopped some West Coasters who have taken the plunge and set up shop in the midst of the pandemic. There was nearly a 70 per cent drop in spending by visitors to Franz Josef and Fox Glacier over the last couple of years. But when the going gets tough - the tough take risks. Tourism reporter Tess Brunton met some of them.

A former West Coast Mayor fears misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccine is creating a rift in the community. Vaccinators are pushing to get at least 2000 West Coasters their first jab, for the region to hit the 90 percent first dose mark. West Coast DHB deputy chair and former Mayor Tony Kokshoorn spoke to Guyon Espiner.

It's September! Fall has arrived and WDEK is not looking forward to the pumpkin spice lattes signage that will soon be everywhere!  Justin the Intern joins us from Duluth, Minnesota.  Christian and Shonali have just returned from visiting their parents in Chicago and Nashville.  They discuss the Jedi mind tricks of their respective parents.    The brilliant Lizz Winstead, comedian, co-founder of the Daily Show, founder of Abortion Access Front and co-founder of Air America amongst joins us from her abode.  Find out how a 16 year old Lizz Winstead's life experience is directly connected to her activism today as the founder of Abortion Access Front.  Do you know about the thousands of fake "clinics" in the US used to intimidate and spread misinformation to women regarding abortion?  We discuss destigmatizing abortion and how men should contribute to the conversation surrounding reproductive rights.   Follow Lizz on Twitter here! She's doing shows in Portland and San Francisco in November - you lucky West Coasters! Per her Twitter profile our second guest Saidah Blount describes herself as a music industry maven, corporate goth, Sonos Senior Manager, Global Content. She joins us along Game Changers! This is the first time ever we bring our guests together to share trivial tips and/or life lessons which have changed their lives.  We have some great ones for you this month including TSA Tips, bubble wrap tips, peeling egg tips, identity theft tips and more! Also Saidah's use of the term "frothed up" is a new one for Christian and Shonali.  As a woman of color who has worked in the music industry for years, we asked Saidah about her feelings regarding the long awaited conviction of R. Kelly in a NYC courtroom just the day before this show was taped.  Have you heard of the saying "Dance now.  Deconstruct later."?  Saidah contemplates whether "music is too big to fail."  Topics of discussion include the "shady" music industry, the non-stop work of a working performing artist, being the only WOC in the workplace, recently being "sweethearted,"  the the over-usage of the term "cancel culture" used as a "dog whistle."  We get into it!  We also have lots of fun.

It has been an unusually sombre Derby week this week, due to the departure of the great Stephen Hill. Finals are gone, Brayshaw sidelined and no send of game for Hilly. The Restump Podcast talks everything purple and we preview Sunday's ominous task against the West Coasters!  But is a win Derby or not Derby, that is the question!While sad for Stephen Hill unable to get up for a send-off game, we celebrate his wonderful career. We also give Dave Mundy another pat on the back as equals the great man Matty Pavlich's 353 game record. It's been a tumultuous season and last week's loss to Richmond put a devastating exclamation point on it for so many reasons.However, while our season is all but over as far as finals are concerned, let us not go out without trying to take out our foes over the other side of the river. Both sides are in horrible form and sadly we go in Sunday, on the back of 11 straight derby losses, severely undermanned. To make matters worse, we're up against a pretty much full-strength West Coast Eagles.Could we possibly do the unthinkable? They have been embarrassed of late and their season is literally on the line Sunday so they have enormous incentive to win. No Fyfe, no Brayshaw? That's a big hole in our engine room.But we have to ask the questions, how many goals from free kicks will Jack Darling be gifted? Who will Luke “Sniper” Shuey go to and which teenager will Andy Gaff send to the dentist?We might've endured a few flat days this week but come hell or high water, we'll be ready and in full voice Sunday arvo. So if you're also feeling a bit flat from the week and in need of a ‘pick-me-up', for God's sake don't put your faith in us… we're not Daniel Kerr! However, Jojo's insight and common sense and the Chief's bulldust might have to suffice! If you're in desperate need of something to click and you can't find a clicky pen, then there's a play button here to click if you can endure 40 minutes of ultra-purple palaver! 

After rattling off a pair of unexpected victories over Toronto and then a buzzer-beating win against the Canadiens, the Vancouver Canucks took to the ice in hopes of extending their winning ways to four games.  Unfortunately, Montreal had other ideas as they rocked the Canucks 5-1 out at Rogers Arena outshooting the West Coasters 44-24 to send Vancouver to a challenging 12-16-2 through 30 regular-season games.

West Coasters are worried their rivers may be closed to whitebaiting as part of a proposal about to go to the incoming Minister of Conservation. New research sent to the Department of Conservation shows already healthy rivers are the best candidates for closure, because they can support greater numbers of whitebait. As fisheries reporter Conan Young reports, that has some coasters worried that yet another natural asset is about to be taken away from them.

It's wildfire season—and something about this year is especially sinister. West Coasters experienced days of hazy orange skies in early September as a result of the burning wildfires. As COVID-19 still looms, threatening our respiratory systems, now too does the smoke in the air. What is this smoke made of, and how does breathing it in affect our lungs and bodies? To find out, Host Alok Patel speaks with an atmospheric scientist, a pulmonologist, and a pair of veteran engineers who are experts in effective face masks to learn about the composition of wildfire smoke, what that smoke does to our lungs and bodies, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

West Coasters say they want to be heard by the Government.Thousands are expected at a call to action event in Greymouth today, aiming to protect the industries which support their way of life.Organiser Peter Haddock says new policy is coming thick and fast and a lot of people are worried about the future."We just want to be consulted. A lot of this legislation that's coming through is just announcements from the Crown, like the no new mining, and we feel like we haven't be listened to."He says they want to showcase what they do best on the West Coast to the rest of the country."We've got a film that shows how we live together, we cohabit here with nature on the West Coast and industries and the like. It shows all different types of industries working with our beautiful environment here."Haddock says they've invited every MP in the country including the Prime Minister and they're expecting around eight to turn up.

Welcome to Episode 3 of We Eat CNY: The Podcast! After quite the busy week, we had the privilege of being invited to attend the Fork and Cork Wine Pairing Dinner at The Sherwood Inn by Executive Chef Dan Hudson. We had a fantastic time at The Sherwood and are grateful for the opportunity to go out to Skaneateles, NY and see how their dedicated team puts on a great food event. During the event, Kate and I sat with Jen Hudson, Dan’s wife who was also on last week’s episode with Mark Pawliw talking about her involvement with Farm to Fork 101. We thought it would be great to have both Dan and Jen on the podcast to talk more about how these West Coasters found their way to Syracuse, had their lives come together at Pheobe’s, the trip to Australia that focused Dan’s vision of what he wanted to be, how the Sherwood Inn has taken him to the next level, and close with where he pulls his inspiration from, his dedication to excellence at The Sherwood Inn, and what the future holds for the Hudsons --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/weeatcny/support

As we often discuss on this show, developing and maintaining a connection to the elements — fire, earth, water, air — is a vital component of a beneficial overall health strategy. Direct, personal connection to your water source is a topic I’m particularly passionate about, and I’ve offered strategies and best practices for procuring your own spring water in a previous episode of the podcast (Why I Forage Wild Water - Daniel Vitalis #80). Gathering your own spring water is not always possible for everyone, for various reasons (location, lack of time, etc), so for all of you on the West Coast, I have an exciting service to share. Fountain Of Truth Spring Water is sourced from the pristine Opal Springs, which emerges from the earth in the high desert of Central Oregon. Today’s guest, Mukhande Singh, bottles this water in glass jugs at the source and delivers, chilled, right to the doors of spring water drinkers along the West Coast. In this interview, he shares his experience with stewarding a spring and how you West Coasters can take advantage of this wonderful service. EPISODE BREAKDOWN: Mukhande’s first experiences with spring water How Mukhande came to steward a spring Effects of sterilizing water with UV light Breakdown of Opal Springs How to get water delivered from Opal Springs Mukhande’s prognosis for the future of the human species

Seminar presented by historian Peter Clayworth at the Ministry for Culture and Heritage on 2 October 2013.  The Great Strike of 1913 was one of the largest and most disruptive in New Zealand's history. From October 1913 to January 1914 a strike wave swept across the country, involving about 14,000 workers, hundreds of police and thousands of special constables. In this talk Peter Clayworth gives an overview of the strike, with a closer look at events in Wellington. He examines some of the questions the events of 1913 raise concerning the nature of New Zealand society on the eve of the Great War. Peter also briefly discusses events being organised to commemorate the strike centennial. Peter works as a writer for Te Ara the encyclopedia of New Zealand. He has a PhD in history from the University of Otago. He is a committee member of the Labour History Project and is currently involved in organising a series of commemorative events for the centennial of the 1913 strike. He is also working on a biography of Red Fed leader Pat Hickey. Peter hails from a family of mechanics in Stoke, Nelson, and is descended from a long line of West Coasters.
