[laughs]
PaulaGUEST
8:08
That's what I live for.
PaulaGUEST
8:09
But, um, pretty much when you come in, we're going to evaluate first if you have any symptoms, your history, um, risk factors, we have to evaluate all of that, making sure your lifestyle.
PaulaGUEST
8:25
Because depending on your age bracket, we wanna make sure what are you doing.
PaulaGUEST
8:31
If you're younger and you're losing hormones, what is it that is causing? What are the lifestyle modifications that we have to do?

15 MINS LATER

23:58
You have many different, yeah
PaulaGUEST
23:59
...
PaulaGUEST
23:59
many different types of peptides.
42:07
Here's some of his interview
PaulaGUEST
42:07
interviewI was born in Brazil, but I grew up in the north of France, and I was adopted when I was young by a French family.
PaulaGUEST
42:16
When I was 18, 19 years old, I started to do some research about my country.
PaulaGUEST
42:23
So I first traveled there to search my parents' origin and stuff when I was 20, and since then, I started to play music, uh, with a producer in Lille, telling all about my searches about this story, and I put all my, um, uh, little poems on electronic music because I grew up in north of France, like border with Belgium, where I first had my clubbing experience.
PaulaGUEST
42:54
And then I mixed my two worlds, and for me, it was so important to stay connected with Brazil because of that crazy story, me reconnected with my country.
PaulaGUEST
43:04
And since this first travel, I have never stopped about, uh, digging, searching, connecting with people, connecting with my biological family.
PaulaGUEST
43:15
So yeah, this is a big mix and big influences on the PPJ music.
45:15
It's a bit MPB, but, but then you go to the dance floor, you know? So it's quite innovative in that sense.
ChadPANELIST
60:27
Paula, how are you?
PaulaGUEST
60:32
Hey, it's good to see you guys and listen.
ChadPANELIST
60:36
Paula, what was your, uh, podcast with, uh, Jeff Booth about?
PaulaGUEST
60:42
Yeah, it was Jeff's going a little bit deeper into...
PaulaGUEST
60:48
I really wanted to get to the bottom of why it's, uh... why so many of us struggle to go all in on Bitcoin and-And he was just saying that most 95% of people will continue to sell Bitcoin for fiat in the future, and it's gon- that's why this process is gonna be so long.
PaulaGUEST
61:14
But basically, you know, that's how Jeff differs from Saylor, is that he believes only Bitcoin will be the way forward, e- even though that will be far down the line.
PaulaGUEST
61:26
That's, you know, it's so hard to see only one system surviving for so many of us.
PaulaGUEST
61:33
But he keeps going back to the natural state of the free market is deflation, so, uh, that's, that's where he always comes back to.
15:21
Paula saw this firsthand from her seat in the public gallery.
PaulaGUEST
15:24
I had one really traumatic experience where a complainant parent sat behind us, and, um, they were sort of, like, whispering under their breath in the courtroom so that we could hear.
PaulaGUEST
15:41
And they were talking about, like, shooting Gay in the back of the head and, um, that we're all as good as dead and, you know, just making really horrible threats quietly in the courtroom in the row behind us.
PaulaGUEST
15:57
And, um, I just found that so distressing, just being in that environment where just people were that filled with hatred.
PaulaGUEST
16:08
I can remember one of the women was outside the courthouse, and some...
PaulaGUEST
16:11
A complainant parent's older teenage children drove past in a car, and they were, you know, sort of going pew and shooting their fingers like a gun at their head as they drove past the court slowly.

21 MINS LATER

37:09
For the women's families and supporters such as Paula, it was an unbelievable blow.
PaulaGUEST
37:15
I was looking after Marie's two girls, Marie Kees.
29:28
Yeah, and that was, like, middle, like, them in middle school?
PaulaGUEST
29:32
Yeah, they're in middle school, and now we're hanging out with other parents, and now they're drinking.
PaulaGUEST
29:38
So I had gone from college to now drinking for a career, and now it's evolving into, "Oh, this is something we do with other parents.
PaulaGUEST
29:47
This is how we make friends.
PaulaGUEST
29:49
This is how we socialize.
PaulaGUEST
29:50
Oh, we have to join this club? Oh, let's join that club, 'cause that's what all the parents are doing." And then becomes the parents hanging out with the kids, and then everybody's just, it's just, it's so normal to be doing that.
PaulaGUEST
30:04
And then when the kids started making comments about my drinking, because they would see me one way.

16 MINS LATER

46:30
Yeah.
16:46
Paula was reeling from the closure of the creche and the abrupt loss of her job, and then learning what was being said about her.
PaulaGUEST
16:53
Suspended from cages, us being dancing naked to the guitar and kicking each other in the genitals as we danced.
PaulaGUEST
17:01
And I mean, it was [laughs] snakes.
PaulaGUEST
17:03
We had snakes.
PaulaGUEST
17:06
I did fear that I would be arrested.
PaulaGUEST
17:09
There were two things that gave me an indication that I could be next.
PaulaGUEST
17:14
One was a child disclosed that I had made a little boy called Andrew lie in a white coffin, and I had stabbed him and stabbed him until he was dead, was pretty much the child's words.
18:58
She took what you could perhaps call evasive action.
35:34
Paula said many of the staff thought talking to Smart would be an opportunity to clarify some of the things they said to police, which in hindsight they felt might have been taken out of context.
PaulaGUEST
35:44
Just things like, um, hanging the child on the fence and throwing the child into a chair.
PaulaGUEST
35:50
We had a great big old-fashioned puffy armchair, and it was actually a game the children adored.
PaulaGUEST
35:59
They would stand on a little plinth in front of the big puffy chair, and Peter would throw a cushion at them, and it would knock them backwards into the chair, and they just [laughs] loved it.
PaulaGUEST
36:12
Um, but, uh, I don't ever remember it being a game of fear or tears.
PaulaGUEST
36:18
Um, I mean, he did things like Taronga treatment, which was, you know, pretending to grab the areas and twizzle and twist, and sometimes he was probably a little bit rough.
PaulaGUEST
36:27
But he actually wasn't overly punitive.
41:02
Well, Paula reckons it's no surprise the women were dragged into it.
38:43
[laughs] And then Colton is opposite of that.
PaulaGUEST
38:46
Which is crazy, 'cause Colton looks just like a young Billy Gunn.
38:49
Yes.
PaulaGUEST
38:50
And Austin acts like a young Billy Gunn.
PaulaGUEST
38:53
[laughs]
TobiHOST
2:44
Dann stell sie mir doch mal vor.
PaulaGUEST
2:47
Meine erste Frage ist: Wie gesund sind Hühnereier? Meine zweite Frage ist: Sind alle Eier gleich? Und meine dritte Frage ist: Warum versteckt der Hase an Ostern bunte Eier?

21 MINS LATER

TobiHOST
24:25
Paula.
PaulaGUEST
24:30
Ihr wollt mehr? Hier noch ein Tipp.
PaulaGUEST
24:35
Pumuckl, der Hörspielklassiker.
PaulaGUEST
24:38
Mit Geschichten vom Meister Eder und seinem Pumuckl.
PaulaGUEST
24:42
[lacht] Pumuckl, der Hörspielklassiker.
PaulaGUEST
24:47
Ein Podcast des Bayerischen Rundfunks.
22:58
Yeah
PaulaGUEST
22:58
... like a balaclava maybe, sort of.
PaulaGUEST
23:01
Like a sc- that's like very tight around her hair, um, so you can't really see it.
PaulaGUEST
23:05
And then, um, f- underneath that are long braids that are mostly wrapped in leather, but if you look closely, bits of her, uh, ginger hair kind of poke out between the, the bits of leather that are wrapped around her hair.
PaulaGUEST
23:23
Uh, she is sitting on a trunk just, uh, maintaining some equipment, maybe cleaning a sword that was used by someone in practice, uh, that day.
PaulaGUEST
23:33
Because this is Fiona of Salisbury, and she is still a squire.
PaulaGUEST
23:40
Uh, if you, if she thinks no one's watching, she will be kind of cleaning this sword with her left hand and doing a very, uh, good job at it.

26 MINS LATER

49:54
That's-

Unknown podcast

Mindsight: Seeing Without Eyes

Dec 29 · 1h 15m

14:14
Time and time again, they noted that someone's negative energy or negative thoughts can cause energetic friction and become distracting, making concentrating on a task or demonstrating psi or ESP abilities more difficult.
PaulaGUEST
14:27
We had a, a brother and a sister that were going through the program, and the father was a complete skeptic.
PaulaGUEST
14:32
He was an academic, and, you know, e- everything in his world was logical and analytical.
PaulaGUEST
14:38
And he took his daughter to one of her sessions, and we never have the parents in the room working with the teacher and the child, so he was sat in a room behind, but there was glass doors between the two of them.
PaulaGUEST
14:49
The little girl was sitting there reading her book, and the teacher was facilitating and guiding her and everything.
PaulaGUEST
14:54
And the father walked towards the room.
PaulaGUEST
14:57
He c- became really curious, and he put his hand on the door handle, and instantly the little girl said, "My vision's gone." And when the teacher saw him standing at the door, she beckoned him to move away.
15:13
So what do you think is going on there?
88:11
[upbeat music]
PaulaGUEST
88:18
Hi, I'm gonna do something a little different here.
PaulaGUEST
88:21
I'm not going to talk about the number one topic usually on this show, which is dicks.
PaulaGUEST
88:27
I'm gonna talk about a former Olympic sport.
PaulaGUEST
88:32
Um, you might not notice, but I was a competitive athlete at one point.
PaulaGUEST
88:39
Um, I'm kinda surprised, too.
PaulaGUEST
88:42
Anybody wanna guess what sport that might've been?
speaker_2UNKNOWN
88:46
[laughs] Ping pong.

Keith MorrisonCORRESPONDENT
25:22
Paula watched George and his daughter at the cemetery and fumed.
PaulaGUEST
25:26
They hadn't even lowered her in the ground yet and he said, "Come on," and took her hand, "It's time to go." And I watched him walk off with my little niece, you know, eight years old, just lost her mom.
PaulaGUEST
25:41
And I watched him walk off with her and I thought, "You know, this is exactly what he wanted."

18 MINS LATER

Keith Morrison
Keith MorrisonCORRESPONDENT
43:45
He's filed a new petition in federal court, and the young girl at the heart of the tragedy?
PaulaGUEST
43:51
I really do feel that my niece is the true victim in all of this.
PaulaGUEST
43:56
It's so tragic and I just don't have words for what she's going to have to come to terms with and understand as she gets older, you know? It's- it's- it's really tough.
