It's a performance for me."

Yeah, I mean, it, it's, it's always been a, uh, an idea I've had that, you know, that, that, not I've had, but just a, a popular idea that absolute tolerance, um, can't work and can't exist anyways, um, just because we, we live in a s- we, we, we live in the system that we do, and all the venues that can show, [chuckles] that, that are, that are bound by whatever, whatever metrics of tolerance there is, like social media, TV, news, pop culture, whatever, um, like they, there's-- it, it wouldn't work.

It wouldn't work.

Absolute tolerance wouldn't work.

Just on, not, not on a practical level.

And once you kind of break through that, that idea that tolerance is not good, um, you can start to kind of fight back against, you know, well, we, we can't let Nazis at our protest, um, because, okay, well, I, I can't let liberals at my, the house, you know? They've, uh, they kind of just don't...

I don't know.

Mm-hmm.

While moreover, it is equally uncontestable that the first inquisitors opposed no other arms to the growing heresy, save those of prayer, patience, and instruction.

So, this is, uh, kind of multifaceted.

So he's basically saying that, uh, the Inquisition, as it first began officially, was purely to investigate the guilt, to, to determine the guilt of people that were a threat to the Spanish state and the Spanish church, the Catholic Church.

Um, if you were a Spaniard in Spain, you had to be Catholic in order to be considered a Spaniard.

Um, if you were something other than a Spanish Catholic and you were doing something bad, then that was a direct attack on the state or the church.

And, um, the Pope, it was in the Pope's interest to see what was going on.

And, uh, he, he was very careful to state there at the end that, you know, these inquisitors, uh, they...

It is this, that never can any great political disorder, but above all, any violent attack upon the body of the state, be prevented or repelled but by the adoption of means alike violent and energetic." Energetic's a good word.

[laughs]

Well, okay, Cynthia, remember we talked, like, dating has been really hard for me.

I'm just not used to getting attention.

Well, now I am.

I'm just going with it.

I'm sorry.

This is the catch.

Well, I have to say, honestly, Cynthia is a, she's a wonderful girl, and that wouldn't surprise me.

Mm.

Um, but I'm pretty sure she made this, uh, with her family when she was growing up.

But the funny story about this corned beef and cabbage is that...

Well, first of all, I loved corned beef and cabbage-

Mm-hmm

...

even if I was not connected to my cultural heritage.

But there was a, a joke that my mom made with, like, her friend, because her friend saw that we were making corned beef and cabbage-

Yeah

... which was actually hilarious.

Like, he was saying the most horrific things to his wife, who is trying nothing but to just, like, A, be a good pageant girl that she was trained to be and get him ready.

But, like, when he was insulting the foundation and the wig that she chose and the outfit that she chose for him, I was giggling.

Mm-hmm

... um, to bring it back.

But yeah, this was just a tough one to get through.

I'm wondering, now that you mentioned it, like, I do agree with you, K was shining brighter before this trip, and I think she's gotten closer with Kelly and Shamiea while they've been in Dallas, and, like, those two are such downers.

Terms apply.

You know, when you're talking about, uh, what does that say? Regardless of how the struggle might be disguised by language, symbolism, and institutional forms.

I don't think that Burnham took too mu- d- didn't give enough account for, um, things that exist outside the dialectic.

When, especially in his critique of socialism, um, it was still very scientific, and it was still very focused on, you know, material and economic, uh, e- economic dialectic struggles.

Um, just not, not resolving in a way that Marxists prescribed it would, you know, with dialectical materialism.

But another thing I learned from DeNoche is that they really didn't give any attention to the more abstract things, l- like, you know, what, what he just mentioned.

Um, you know, language, symbolism, institutional forms, culture, religion, and just things that exist outside of, uh, you know, empirical science.

W- when it comes to ideologies, and they're just like, "I have just gotta take care of myself."

How you doing, Aaron?

Oh, not too bad.

How are you, man? Stuff.

This is Aaron.

I will be playing Hadron Luck, a, uh, very positive, upbeat research/ uh, it's like systems analysis android who is on this mission for some reason.

He hasn't been known, uh, known for the reasons why he's on there too, but he's gonna keep a good, uh, attitude about it as he hurtles into space, playing a ukulele over and over again, not doing Tiny Tim songs, 'cause that wouldn't be courteous to the person riding with him.

Yeah.

Um, although, a- and that's like also, uh, sorry, I, I'll, I'll tell you odd questions, but before he went over into the, uh, the, the prep room, like to go out for the tools, did he...

[laughs]

But I am really enjoying it.

I feel like we're seeing n- the only thing that I will say, we're not seeing as much K Michelle as I want, but I feel like that's coming because of her little situation that she has going on with DrewAnd then as far as Pinky Cole, it's like, or Pranky Cole, I don't know.

I feel like she is standing on her own.

We're seeing her go back and forth with the girls.

Bye.

Bye, y'all.

[upbeat music]

Aaron, will you share your full revert story with us?

Yeah, I'll be happy to.

Um, I just wanna start with this, that I was originally Catholic before.

Um, I went to a private, uh, private Catholic elementary and middle school, so that means like kindergarten through eighth grade.

So, um, yeah, during that time, um, I was just enrolled in private [chuckles] Catholic education, I guess.

Um, just learning about the Bible and stuff, and going to mass every Sunday or like twice a week, like I think it was like Tuesdays and Sundays, I believe.

And, um, I think primarily the reason my parents enrolled me within that was for a good education.

Did you end up telling your family after you took your Shahada?

[laughs]

But here's what I like about what's happening on Atlanta and then this, in this, like, crazy house that they're staying in.

It w- it's what happened at Potomac too, like, stick these women in bad rooms where they don't have any, like, of their usual accommodations, and, like, that's all you need to do.

Like, Kelly and Shamia are losing their minds that their, that their little guest house is, like, slightly untidy.

Why?

I...

Okay, she, like...

She simmered for a bit, and then I feel like she exploded, and I do think some of her takes were correct, like her not agreeing with Kimmy about the whole sob story thing when Missy's... [laughs] What was it? Her brother was, like, literally shot and killed.

Oh, yeah

... on that a while ago.

Uh, they've...

But they...

You...

With other famous, like, um, abduction stories and things like that.

I, I just remember it quite well from, from their story.

Fuckers

Ah.

Yeah, we did a public, a couple public events to kind of do some education and some, like, some, some, I guess you could call it, like, base-building.

And then the group of four initial friends then expanded to, like, an organizers group of 10 people, plus a bunch of other, like...

We have good relationships with the other groups, whether that is, like, immigrant solidarity or reproductive justice or actually, like, because of the way that our, like, local Food Not Bombs is partnered with churches, like, for space.

Um, the, like, the faith-based groups also were like, "Oh, well, we care about immigrant solidarity, and this Flock stuff is really concerning to us." So it became, like, across a lot of different subsets, um, a, a lot of different, like, areas of, of organizing or interests.

Um, we ended up getting a lot of support, and then when we would put out a call to action, it would kind of, like, flow through either the Signal chats or the email Listservs.

And so it ended up being where, like, uh, you know, 50 people on a given night would, would show up to public comment or...

And how'd the police react to this? Were they, did they say, "Okay, you win"?

How did she feel about it, her parents got together?

I think sh- she was a little weirded out by it, but, you know, Alice has been very clear from the get-go and up to the present I am not her dad.

I am her mother's boyfriend, partner, and Alice and I get along well.

Like, we have similar sensibilities.

We laugh about the same things.

Um, you know, but it's, it's not really a parental relationship.

You know, I mean, I do some superficially parental things like drive her places.

I'm genetically a father, but that's very, very different.

Mm.

Do they get these houses for free? I mean, they could be, he could be on 1.2 or 2.2 as, um, as Josh mentions, equivalent without paying, you know, mortgages and all sorts of things.

It's, um, it's potentially a, a, a really positive thing if you wanna go there purely for money, and I'm not suggesting that's necessarily what, um, Jerome wants to do.

I think he's, he's been great for the Tigers in sort of building a culture and getting us back to where we are and, you know, Benji touched on that today when he was talking about he sort of begged, not begged, but he, he certainly pressured Jerome to come to the Tigers to turn the club around that was struggling, and I, I think he, he's been very, um, he's been a key member in doing that.

So I think we've, we've, we've kind of got what we, what we needed from him, and I think we, the, the money was, was a lot, but I think it has been kind of well spent w- considering where we are on an upward trajectory at the moment.

It's gonna be tough competing with, with PNG.

But yeah, I mean, there's gonna be a lot of ...

Yeah

What do you think?

I kind of feel like this is what the Celtics have done, like, all the most recent post-seasons.

Even when they won the title, it's like they kinda, they seem like they should be better.

The thing about Boston is that they have these insane statistical analytical profiles going into every season.

It's like, statistically speaking, this is the best team in basketball, right? So, but then they always, like, kinda have these weird series where it's like, why are you 3-2 with this really meh Philly team or Philadelphia team? They've had this before.

Obviously, they lost to Miami a couple years ago in the conference finals, right? So this is kind of what Boston does.

I'm not super concerned about it, but I would be-- Like, if they get into round two versus the Knicks, I, I just would not be surprised if, like, you know, it's 3-2 Knicks going into game six and Boston looks meh.

Hmm

Aaron, how about you? What, where, where did, I mean, how do you remember kind of stumbling into this thing and, and kind of that, I'm assuming s- similar punch to the gut?

Yeah.

I, I hon- I was thinking back, and I can't pinpoint exactly who or what pointed me to the Suicide Machines.

I think it was probably early '97Early to mid-'97 that I got it, and so it was kind of the same period of time that, you know, I was getting into Out Come The Wolves, and, um, Less Than Jake, Losing Streak.

And, you know, I can't tell you when I got it, but there's, there's a very clear memory, um, and you'll get this, Joe, you know, a Midwest October when it's, you know, it starts getting too cold, maybe you even got some snow on the ground.

So you're in the garage, and, and I was, I was gonna be a skater kid.

I was, had a skateboard.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And she closes the door, and then she, she hears the dog, like, barking and whimpering to get back in.

And she gets to the door, and, um, she, um, for some reason she, like, feels compelled to be like, "There's something, like, not right."

Anything.

And just, and just even, like, the idea of that, like, I mean, I don't know, I find something, like, again, people will probably say, "Oh my God, sexist pig, scumbag," but, like, the, just for me, my personal thing, I don't find it overly attractive, the idea of my, you know, girlfriend or wife-

Somebody fucking breaks in your door after this strange woman goes, "Let me in."

Yeah.

Rick was pretty shook up that morning.

I left a team there processing that scene, but I went outside, and I spoke to Andrew in the car.

Andrew is a mid 20-year-old white male who is physically fit.

He is the star football player, the jock on the football team, six-pack, full of muscles.

There's a reason why he's full of muscles.

It didn't take with Andrew.

W- we're almost hanging on here a little bit." Do, do you have that feeling, or are you confident that you can, you can hold them off because of the quality you've got?

I'm, I've ne- It's been a strange season in a lot of good ways, but I've never felt more confident playing against the Old Firm than I do now.

I mean, growing up, when I was a lot younger, when, when Brendan Rodgers' Celtic team were destroying absolutely everybody, I, I had to grow up watching them win title after title after title.

Normally at Tynecastle, just to rub it in that a little bit more, and y- they had that fear factor.

But this season, both Old Firm teams have been so catastrophically bad at certain points that they've kind of lost that invincibility and that fear factor, both of them.

I mean, I've never thought I'd see us win at Ibrox and Parkhead in the same season, let alone do it multiple times.

It's, I think it's incredible.

Is that a normal points that, like, a champion would have at this stage of the season, or is it almost like a low, a low points figure 'cause they've been poor, and you've been able to sort of, you know, where capitalize on that?

Including you, actually

...

They mesh well together.

Y'all funny as hell.

Like, I'll, I try to tune in every single time y'all go live.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, even, even with that, too, though, I think a lot of times when you're watching on TV, I think a lot of the people don't realize those women are big.

And so they got some info that Caesar was involved in Andrew's homicide, and they're like, "Hey, [laughs] let's call up the agency and just kinda give them a tip, but we can't tell you where that information came from." [laughs]

Right.

Very protective.

It wouldn't shock me.

So we took a look at their pole cameras, and what we saw on the day of the murder was there was a large group of people that showed up early afternoon.

They went into the house.

Uh, they were in the house for about an hour, hour and a half.

Would you be willing to talk about that a little bit?

And that means also that Barbara was lying face down?

She was face down in a figure four position with one knee higher than the other.

Again, pants pulled down, shirt pulled up.

Obvious signs of a sexual assault.

So when we start taking a look at the victim, the victim had been bludgeoned to death on her head.

Significant injuries to her head, crushing injuries to the bones and structures of her head, lacerations and cuts.

The lacerations didn't look like lacerations from a knife, rather skin splitting because of the impact with a hard object.

Now you can say, "Oh, well, your story has changed," right? You were asked specifically about this, and tell me how if you never had any sexual contact, why do I have your seminal fluid in two different pieces of evidence?

And did Sarah have defensive injuries? Her hands, her forearms, do they have incisive wounds?

They do, yeah.

Based on the evidence of what we saw, with the victim being that three hundred and sixty pounds, the victim quickly made her way to the floor and did most of the fighting from her back.

Her hands had lacerations, all defensive wounds all over her hands.

The victim was wearing a ring.

That ring had a glob of hair hanging out of it.

There was actually seventeen different hairs connected to her ring that showed that there was an active fight going on and she was trying to defend herself.

[laughs]

Yeah, yeah.

... everywhere to be there, but at the same time, uh, I think ultimately, what we're gonna struggle with and, and need to refine over the years when we do this is, we want high quality decision makers there, right?

Y- you're talking about ingraining tribal manufacturing knowledge into AI, or how, how bullish are you on that, or, or, uh, what's the timeline?

So again, just go back to the mental model of, like, how much precision and accuracy do you need to accomplish the, the end task, right? So, like, in manufacturing, there's some room for error depending on the process.

So ultimately, I'm, (laughs) I'm super bullish on this, right?

I know we can't talk about the players, but talk to me about the strategy at a high level.

First, let me talk about, like, industry innovation 1.0.

So, that was, you know, years ago, probably maybe 12 to 15 years ago, investing philosophy called direct indexing came about.

If you think about what an index-based investment is, is you buy the S&P 500, an ETF mutual fund.

You're just passive.

You just wanna own the market and get the exposure to the market, no more, no less.

But let's say you own the S&P 500 ETF, and the market is flat at the end of the year.

Why are you so bullish on private credit?
