Oh, wow.

And I'm not sure in your orchestra.

Uh, he also plays in, um, this kind of Motown, uh, tribute act, like a big band act that goes around like that, uh, has played at the ...

I don't know if you've ever gone to the Jamaican festival or the Caribbean festival in, in Maple Ridge.

Anyways.

Uh, so I thought that was kind of interesting that he, uh, he got that gig.

That was cool.

Yes

We said it on stage that we fancied it because there's a bunch of lads on the pitch that if we don't get it, it's not gonna be for want of trying, and today, like, everyone just ran their knackers off.

Yeah.

I mean, I, I said in the group chat, like, just be- about half an hour in that, like, Chel- you could just tell that Chelsea just didn't fancy whatsoever.

And [clears throat] obviously this is an audio podcast, but I'm stood looking at the new Gary Rowett mural from where I am now, and it's just like this would obviously just mean so much to him, someone who's been, like-

[laughs]

Um, it's...

But, like, I- g- the game finished and my first...

I just ran up to the back of the stand where me dad sits, and I just stood and hugged me dad for about 10 minutes.

Ian.

Yep.

So I've got Song of Ice and Fire for the book series, and then Storm of Swords, Feast for Crows, Clash of Kings.

I couldn't remember the Dance of Dragons, uh, but I have Dream of Spring, which is the announced, um, next book or something along those lines.

Ian?

Yeah, it's been a while since I've seen this show.

I, I don't think it's, like, a major city like, um, New York or Chicago or LA, for some reason.

Um, so I went with Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Oh.

And yeah.

And, and a little dagger.

And on the sword, I'm gonna try and pull a Checkov's gun here, on the sword is a little description of a, or a little thing of a badger.

And a little behind the scenes, I, we got to select a, a weapon or, like, a little magical item, and I-

So we're hitting the button no matter what.

Mm-hmm.

Yep.

... of personnel in the squad, but in terms of finances as well, so.

And that's, uh, and that's why one of the reasons, uh, I'd, I'd like to, I'd like to keep Joe Gomez.

And I know he has his injury issues and that, but when he talks, he talks well.

He's done well at, speaking the last couple of weeks when he's come out and he's said things, he still seems to think to me like he's got things to do at Liverpool, I think.

I think-

And you need, you really need him at the club, but, you know, uh, he's 35, so how long he can continue and, uh, how, how much of a drop-off you get season by season, I don't know.

I'd, I'd like...

He, he's one player who I'd like to see retire at the club.

... and how you actually ended up in the skincare market.

Great.

Well, I'll go first.

Yeah, I started studying biochemistry at university.

Uh, this was back in 2013.

From there I started moving into formulation chemistry in industry.

So I was formulating things like, uh, medical devices.

Yeah.

We'll, we'll look at it, and, and you as well, Kerry.

I, I, I think it's good.

I think if you, if you collect a lot of these, then, then having, having this in the collection makes sense.

The thing is, we have a couple which we really like and display.

I'm not sure whether this one-

[laughs]

Um, so that, that's alw- that's always disappointing when you don't like the primary one, because that's obviously, that typically is where most of the parts go, and so therefore the price is based on the primary model.

Um, but I, I think the raccoon is cute.

Ian, what's up, buddy?

What's up, man? So when you read this little, um, passage, whatever you call it, I think of doubling down.

But I'm not clear, do we double our population to who we send the message to, or do we double our frequency?

Watch out for Little Cycle Annie.

But at the same time, Lou and John had been living together, you know, kind of on the Lower East Side.

John Cale comes from like the John Cage, La Monte Young, Dream Syndicate type of, uh, very esoteric, high-minded, droney, difficult kind of music.

And so that fusion of the Long Island doowop song factory Lou Reed, and the John Cale academy-based music making, that's what kind of animates The Velvet Underground.

And so that then leads to the project that they end up pursuing with White Light/White Heat, which is on one level just furious and ferocious and as powerful and painful, I think, as rock music really ever was going to sound.

But then on another level, there's a certainly a high-minded, I think, degree of artistry going on in this record, whether you're looking at a song like The Gift, the Jackson Pollock-esque soundscape of Sister Ray, um, or even something as kind of like sly and silly and winking as Here She Comes Now.

This record, of course, also complete [laughs] commercial flop.

Sunday morning brings the dawning.

No.

We don't have that ability anymore.

We don't have the pace.

We don't have the nous.

And ev- the one time we did do, we messed it up with C- C- Gakpo being played in by Ngemo and, uh, get, run, overrunning the ball or whatever.

That strolling back when they're 1-1 is not right.

But they haven't, they haven't looked fit all season, have they? In late in games, they've always looked like they've run out of energy.

I mean, Ngemo goes off with cramp.

Ah

... of that is you get these knee-jerk reactions.

So the doctor hits you on the knee and you kick out.

All of his abuse comes in the moment and explodes out of him, and occasionally when he's had a chance to step back, he'll then go and apologize.

Now, that's absolutely what narcissistic, um, armchair psychology man over here, um, gaslighters do to people as well, but I'm not seeing that in Robbie.

I'm seeing him running just on, um, just running on impulse and solving the next thing in front of him, and that is, that is a very comfortable place for someone like him, for his brain to operate in.

Just solve the next problem in front of me, um, push the obstacles to that problem out of, out of the way.

Did you think that Javadi's heel turn to psychiatric emergency work was earned? 'Cause it did feel a little out of the blue.

Is, is there anything that you could add to the Elliot Brown story for those that aren't, aren't quite aware?

W- we are quite understated.

Um, we're not very shouty or salesy.

We just kind of do our thing and follow our own hearts.

To start the business, we make watches that were just tougher than anything else.

And we launched them at a price point that was really awkward.

[laughs]

Ah.

What else can you do, right?

Yeah, exactly.

We will decant that later.

Um, so it's, as I said, 1985, I think is not the world's greatest year to pick up whiskey.

It's probably '84, '85, '86 is peak whiskey lock.

So compared to kind of late '70s, early '80s, and even later '80s into the '90s, single casks and stuff, not super easy to find.

Um, there's obviously some, and perhaps I should've been buying them years ago, um, because obviously as people start approaching big birthdays, they start snapping them up.

But, uh, moving on to the Vega.

Wednesday.

Fed them, put them to bed, you know, kind of normal stuff really.

That's what I thought

...

I think it was them and maybe one other lot of people in there at, before everyone else was allowed in.

Would you like to start by describing what happened there?

Yes.

Uh, Lismore, of course, means great garden in Gaelic.

Uh-Uh, and, uh, it geologically is considered to re- refer to the fact it's made of limestone, and so it's fertile.

There is a Lismore in Ireland, which I think has a different derivation.

So to be precise, in 1970, uh, I think at my first half term at university, at, uh, Sterling University, uh, I went with my girlfriend to Lismore with two friends, and my uncle had a holiday cottage there.

And it's in the middle of the island, off the main route in the island.

Mm.

Listen to Look Back At It on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[gentle music] Hey, what's good, y'all? You're listening to Learn the Hard Way with your favorite therapist and host, Keir Gaines.

This space is about Black men's experiences, having honest conversations that's really not safe to have anywhere, but you're having them with a licensed professional who knows what he's doing.

How many men carry a suit of armor? It signals to the world that you not to be played with.

And just because you have the capability, that does not mean that you need to.

Mm-hmm.

Um, I remember my dad calling me.

He's like, "Yo, Steve Jobs died.

See Mint Mobile for details.

So part of the reason she felt this way was that he showed her kindness and attention, something that Brandi just didn't receive very often.

It didn't take long for him to take advantage of how smitten she was with him, and the two started having a sexual relationship.

Again, she was 13 and he was 17 at the time.

This made Brandi believe that the two of them were dating, even though Aaron never claimed her as his girlfriend.

Still, she was under the impression that they were in a relationship, and she did everything she could to keep him to herself.

So on November 5th, 1988, Brandi turned 14, and while we don't know exactly how she celebrated that day, reportedly she was told that friends would be throwing her a birthday party.

Right.

I don't know.

This just reminded- This just unlocked a memory.

I was a kid one time, and there's this park down the street from my house, and I ...

God, I had to have been, like, like, eight years old probably.

Like, I was in elementary school.

And someone, like, had their dog, like, off of a leash, and they were just, like, playing fetch.

And I didn't see, and then there was just a ball on the ground, like a tennis ball.

Um...

What were you doing and what happened?

So I had just gotten a new tent, and my friend Sam, he had just gotten a new hammock, um, that he was gonna start hammock camping out of, and we were super excited to go camping.

I think this was, like, early summer, like, springtime, because it, it was just warm enough to where you could go camping without, like, freezing your butt off.

[laughs] You know? So we were like, "Yeah, dude," like, "Let's go camping." Basically, like, the way I grew up, I know a lot of people don't grow up this way.

I, I lived in a wood house, like a, like a log cabin style house in the woods, like down a dirt road.

In front of my house is a, a field.

Behind my house is a field, and all the rest of it was woods.

Tell me about them.

I don't know how else to describe him.

Yeah, he's, he's, he's nuts.

Um, he's, he's nuts.

I...

It's crazy to see a lot of, like, just professional news coverage on the case that'll be like, "Yeah, and you were able to get a, a private investigator, Nick Gregor, on, onto it." But then when you look into Nick, he is be- He's just insane.

He's got this thing called the Mad Nick Society, and it's a, it is a association and organizational network of people from different countries who are committed to justice and act accordingly according to the motto, "In silence we serve freedom." He has been tapped by the IRA and several other just, like, random groups to, to serve different-

... always the hope for them, right?

I do wonder, and this is just purely speculation.

And their chosen champion is a company called MedSimple.

This is Ian from Brazil, Florianopolis, and I will present you today MedSimple.

There is medical school, simple.

It's one of my first times doing it in English.

The first one was on Founders Friday, okay? And I appreciate you guys, uh, watching me today.

Our proposal is to improve medical education in Brazil.

Why? Because it changed our, our lives.

Mm.

Yeah.

If you have a severe allergy, and, like, I'm not trying to, like, blame him or anything, but if you have a severe allergy, like anaphylaxis, uh, on something like that, most of those people do carry EpiPens.

They are very expensive.

Yeah.

It's kind of like a self-fulfilling, like, identity, where it's like if you're like, "Nobody, nobody likes me and nobody wants to date me 'cause I'm a piece of shit," and it's like, yeah, if you keep telling women that-
