"And throws it into the getaway car and drives away all within two seconds. Maybe three. And it all happened very fast. Some good samaritans took pictures of this, they got the license plate, and I called the cops in a really didn't care at all about what had happened because it happens to them all the time. I assume that I was the 5th 6th, 7th hit of the day. These guys are pros just looking for idiots standing standing talking to their camera. Whatever that may be, lots of people have had their cameras stolen in San Francisco since and before, most of them way worse than myself. You know, San Francisco has its issues, right? It ain't the San Francisco of ten years ago. Let's say there's a lot of issues that they're dealing with stemming from a variety of catalysts. And so I would guess not putting words into elected officials or law enforcement in San Francisco. It feels like they may have bigger fish to fry out there than us measly photographers trying to get great photos. So under that light, I'm like, well, maybe we should avoid that city, but looking at your newsletter, you highlighted a bunch of cool places that you could still go and you had some guidelines in there for you. It's 2022. I have photographed all over the city, all year long, okay? So with no problem whatsoever, I just didn't go to the bad places. I also made a switch that if they're going to steal my expensive camera that was $6500 that was stolen from me, I'll show them. I'll just go around town, shooting everything on the iPhone. And I've had pretty good results. Certainly, the video has been almost, if not as good as what I was getting on the Sony. The photos are close. I don't think they're as great. But certainly it's been safer. Three really bad areas. The worst is Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks is a section of the city, high up a hill, giving you a beautiful overlook of the city. There's no police presence up there whatsoever. There have been a whole bunch of thefts, whether that be camera thefts, whether that be car thefts, whether that be the local TV station, was up there doing a piece about the crime in Twin Peaks, and they got robbed while they were live on the air. So I'd stay away from there. Then palace of the fine arts. This is where there was another camera photographer assault last week. A wedding photographer from Dallas out of town was photographing a bride and groom and two thugs came up and attacked him and tried to steal his gear. And the backpack, the backpack. Well, we should talk about the backpack. So no police presence whatsoever, it's just a beautiful area that anybody can walk into and run away from. Those are two really bad areas. The other one is Marin headlands, which is actually in sausalito. That's where you'll get the best shot of the Golden Gate Bridge. I've been up and down at it. You're facing, I guess, what southbound on the west side of the bridge, looking

On the east shore freeway between Albany and Oakland on 80 in both directions in the westbound direction just before you get to Golden Gate fields, you are off and on the brakes to slightly past pales street in emeryville and as far as the eastbound direction just before pal streets about university avenue in Berkeley, once you get past that, it's a smooth ride.

"Is the mileage show. All right, welcome back to the show, everybody. I was going to get right to it. My guest today tried to take his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge when he was 19 years old. And he is one of the very few people. Ever to have been fortunate enough to not be successful. At taking his life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge, he's also one of a handful of people that can actually still walk. Stand and run, after making that suicide attempt. And so today is going to be one of the most dramatic stories you have ever heard in your life. And it's my ambition today that today's show changes lives and saves lives and we're going to talk about mental health, especially around this time of year. I think this is one of the most important topics we could possibly cover, so Kevin Hines, welcome to the show brother. Thank you. It is great to be here. Well, you know that I've been following you for a while and wanted to have you on here for a while. I've been stalking you here today, not the other way around. The thousands of requests to come on this show and there you are me pursuing you to have you here today. So thank you for being here. Thank you for having me. So, let's get to it. You're 19 years old and I was doing all my research for the show and that you prior to you the day that you actually jumped. You actually wrote a letter. Is that not right? And you actually tried to convince your parents that day that you were actually okay. Do I have that story right? Tell us about that day. So the night before on the 24th of September 2000, I wrote a note to my mom, my dad, my brother, my sister, my best friend, and my girlfriend at the time. I basically told them I love them. I disagree with some of the things we had been fighting about. And I told them I was sorry. And I asked for their forgiveness for what I was about to do. The next morning on the 25th, I did convince my father that I was fine.

"All the time on the Odyssey app and listen to the home stretch on the Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's get the latest on traffic right now from Ted Raimi. And we've had a new red come in in Los altos hills, southbound two 80 approaching El Monte listed his blocking the left lane. CHP is responding not seeing any slowing yet, but we'll see if anything does pick up here, but the good news is that it has been pretty light out there this morning despite some accidents that we've seen. We haven't seen much in the way of slow traffic, where we have had a little it went away, but now it's popped up again as an earlier solo spin out in the maze in Oakland 5 80 west on the connector to 80 eastbound that was at the speed limit after we had seen some slowing, but now it is slowing down once again. If you're in the area and you see anything, let us know on Twitter at kcbs a.m. FM traffic again that's at kcbs a.m. FM traffic and actually the CHP just did update this there blocking the two left lanes of that connector briefly probably to clear something so that should be back at the speed limit momentarily. But right now most of the Bay Area looking very good, there are fog warnings for the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Mateo bridge, but not much slowing out there to be found. Your next update, 7 28 on the traffic leader, case CBS. And that's been out maybe the result may be of some of the missed out there. We also have patchy fog along the coast and at the bridges, Lowe is currently in the 40s out there in most spots, although temperatures are rising, we're seeing 50s in some areas. Today it's going to be mostly cloudy throughout the Bay Area with highs ranging from the low to upper 60s

Preacher Sean Feucht Finds the Silver Lining in the COVID Pandemic
"Logs I'm talking to my friend Sean Foyt. He's in a hotel room, Sean. You need to get out into the streets, man. Stop hiding in this hotel room. What's up, with that? You just said something that reminded me. You probably know this because you're a student of revivals and everything. But I've written a number of times the story of George whitfield. I wrote about him in my book if you can keep it and then he's one of the 7 men in my book 7 more men and his story is kind of strangely similar, right? Like he's preaching in churches and then he's forced to go outside the church and when he goes outside the church and starts preaching like in a graveyard or whatever something happens and it leads to what can only be called revival. It's the first great awakening. There is something interesting, right? That COVID would force you to do something or would open the opportunity for you to do something that who would ever do? Who would ever go to the Golden Gate Bridge, whoever did this? And it kind of launches this movement. You find yourself doing this everywhere. You're doing this in Miami in a couple of days, December 31st. And then in 2022, you're going to continue doing this all around the country. But there has been a lot of pushback. I mean, that's what's the documentaries. It called super spreader. What's it called? Yeah, we're still working on the title, but right now, super spreaders kind of been. I think, yeah, Jesus Christ, super spreader, like Jesus Christ, superstar. So but you have to see that because this is unprecedented. There's something new going on. COVID caused this to happen. And I know that I just know that it gives you hope that God is doing something. You don't need to know exactly what it is. You just follow. You're just in the middle of it. Yeah. I mean, you know, I never in my wildest dreams would have imagined what we're seeing in America both the tyrannical nature of the government, the division, the burning of the cities, all that kind of stuff, but yet also I mean, Eric, we have seen, I mean, in the last year, we've gathered 480,000 people to worship outside. We have seen over I would say over probably 30,000, maybe 40,000 people come to Jesus. You know, in cities across America. We have baptized thousands of people. We've seen drug addicts save set free delivery. We've seen protesters that came to antagonize crumple to the ground at the altar. It's amazing the power of God that's being unleashed right

"But it was supposedly emeralds. It was emeralds. At what point did you know it was an emerald and it was cocaine? Was it at that meeting or was it before that? When we came back to Miami with the 6.5 million in an alleged, and then next time we were going up to San Francisco, I had seen some big pieces footballs. And then they told me it was emeralds. They had told me that 6.5 was from emerald. And then I saw the footballs and those were emeralds also. But then once we got to San Francisco, because the emeralds were delivered to San Francisco, and we were waiting again for another payment. I think this time it was more because it was a 150 keys. The first payment is 6.5 was for a hundred keys. Back then, in 1978, that was a lot of weight to be moving just like that. And getting paid right away. Then finally, she said, you know what? We're sitting overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and she says, it's not emerald. You know, it's Coke. And back then, you know, it didn't have the bad connotations it does today. I thought it was just, wow, it's so cool. And I told her my exact words, wow, you know, what we wanted to be a rock and roll drummer. This is better than rock and roll. So, well, you get the sex drugs and rock and roll this way. You gotta go. That's the perfect example of sex drugs and rock and roll. You got it. And like I told you before, you know, what I thought was great about The Beatles wasn't so much their music, what impressed me about The Beatles was that they were millionaires when they were 20 years old. So I had this money thing in my head and then this girl comes in 6.5. You know, then it was 8, 8.9 or something like that $1 million. I start seeing millions of dollars when you're 23. I said, this is the best business in the world. Who would ever.

"The bridge. Hit a major snag when the great depression started in nineteen twenty nine. The project was basically put on hold for several years until nineteen thirty two when the san francisco based bank of america purchased the entire thirty million dollar bond issue in an attempt to help the local economy. Construction of the bridge then began on january. Fifth nineteen thirty-three. One of the innovations used on the bridge and designed by strauss was movable safety netting. Bridges were notoriously dangerous to work on the safety netting managed to save the lives of nineteen construction workers the nineteen ironworkers who fell and were saved by the net created. What was known as the half way to hell club. Eleven men did die in the construction of the bridge and ten of those eleven deaths occurred in a single accident. A scaffolding collapsed on february seventeenth. Nineteen thirty seven and the safety nets couldn't support all of the weight. The bridge finally opened to the public on may twenty seventh nineteen thirty seven at its opening. It was the tallest and longest bridge in the world. A distinction it held until the nineteen sixty. Four opening of the verrazano narrows bridge in new york city. Perhaps even more impressive is at the bridge. Came in under budget and ahead of schedule. The total length of the bridge is one point seven miles or two point seven kilometers and the towers stands seven hundred forty six feet or two hundred and twenty seven point four meters tall today. The bridge is listed as part of. Us highway one a one also known as the pacific coast highway however technically it is not part of the highway legally highway one ends just before the bridge and then starts again just on the other side of the bridge. This is mainly illegal jurisdictional issue and most native. San franciscans aren't even aware of this fact. The golden gate bridge highway and transportation district controls the bridge and the california department of transportation controls. The road on either end. The bridge is continually being painted. The paint is the primary protection of the metal from the salt which is carried.

"Of san francisco is located where it is has nothing to do with the hills or fog or picturesque landscapes or rice. Aronie it has everything to do with san francisco bay. San francisco bay is by far the best natural harbour on the west coast of north america from puget. Sound all the way down to kabul san lucas at the bottom of baja california. Even though the native aloni people knew about the bay from lydia. It didn't really come to the attention of europeans until seventeen sixty nine. This is actually shockingly late. Considering that the spanish had missions in california for centuries by this point it wasn't as if europeans hadn't sailed ships up the coast of california before seventeen sixty nine the most likely reason why no one ever sailed into san francisco. Bay was simply that the entrance was fogged over. The first recorded instance of someone seen the entrance to the bay was gas bar de portola but he didn't sale in it wasn't until august fifth. Seventeen seventy five. When one day. i'll. I became the first known person to sail through the golden gate. The land was claimed by spain. But the truth is they never really did anything with it. By the end of the eighteenth century spain had a very well developed. Empire going all the way down to the southern tip of south america as good of a harbor as it was it. Just wasn't that important to the rest of spain. The area eventually became american territory after the mexican. American war in the treaty of guadalupe hidalgo. It was under the united states. That san francisco really took off. It became the de facto capital of the west coast. Especially considering its importance. Is the hub of california gold. Rush nineteen forties as important as san francisco. Bay was for shipping in the growth of california. It was also extremely frustrating for locals. Who lived in the communities around the bay the only practical way to get from one side of the golden gate to the other required a trip by ferry which took at least twenty minutes the first regular ferry service from san francisco to marin county. The land on the other side of the golden gate began in eighteen. Forty one service which started in eighteen sixty seven was the sausalito land and ferry company which eventually became known as the golden gate ferry company by nineteen twenty. It was the busiest ferry service in the world. Servicing railroad cars and the newly popular automobiles. Even though san francisco wasn't an island it's primary connection to the rest of the world and the communities on the san francisco bay was by ferry. There have been talking about the creation of a bridge to directly connect san francisco and marin county by spanning the golden gate since the nineteenth century. The talk of a bridge was encouraged by the construction of the brooklyn bridge in eighteen. Eighty three which made the idea of such a bridge at least plausible. The first real serious discussion took place in nineteen sixteen..

So Julie, can you describe that monster sound? Yes. Well most she can imagine a Foghorn you know, or something like that. But imagine if you kept hearing different versions of that over and over and started, first of all, from a musician's standpoint. It's like perfectly tuned. Was it really easy? You know, it's funny, I read a lot of articles about this. After we got some Curiosity on it because there were other tones and somebody wrote that a table. Sounded like an ocean Symphony. Yeah, and I thought that was really interesting, so I looked this stuff up, you're getting to the analytical part so the gist of it was as right, the gist of it was as we start hearing these foghorns we didn't, I mean they don't sound like fog horn.

Were just beautiful. People go there and they just hang out and picnic and families come and then after we had our picnic and so forth They had a walk planned and we kind of walk along crissy field in some nice views of the golden gate bridge and the city itself.

What i say being good doesn't mean you you being a sloppy leader or letting them slack off while we all got to work make business work but that doesn't mean you got to be a jerk about it yeah so true i love that the manifestation absolutely you put out thursday kept back yep and if you if you put out money money we've all been there too when when you're around someone that is so focused on money that you don't want to do business with them because it's like dude you're too needy to a successful people are it's different you know you're just when you're around someone that's ultra successful. It's a different energy right. Is that what you're talking about just kind of like you know when i meet anybody one of the questions i always ask is. Hey how can i help you. Is there somebody you'd like to meet. Let me see my rolodex will make and introduce you to. And if there is somebody i know i'd be happy to introduce them and it doesn't necessarily mean that. That person is a vending machine that i put on a dollar and get a candy back. Well i'm just trying to help this person and adding goodness to the system if you will And eventually that goodness comes back to you as you said apps is for good i love it. So could you hook me up with richard branson. We'd really love to have him on the show. Oh didn't you get email.

"golden gate bridge" Discussed on Republic Keeper - with Brian O'Kelly
"It. Let's see and doesn't look like that's playing. It doesn't matter i'll narrate. I was narrating this morning. So tacoma is city just south of seattle and its connects to a peninsula via a suspension bridge and a lot of people think of suspension bridges. And the only one they know is the one over in San francisco right the golden gate bridge and their suspension bridges. Actually all around the country and I'll cross a few of them. And this is one of the larger ones in tacoma washington and it's It's i don't know fifty years old. There's a piece of video that you could google. Google galloping gertie. I should have it on the program. I just again kind of ad hoc today. 'cause in process and in transit But the galloping gertie is a video of the the deck of this bridge waving like a like a wave almost during an earthquake Back in the sixties nine point earthquake. Or maybe it's eight point out remember big earthquake and then about fifteen years ago. The second span was built. This video is me driving across the old span. The new span is the one over on the left that heads north and so driving across the the. Maybe i got that backwards. I don i think this is the span. It doesn't matter either way. One of them is newer because the traffic was large enough and people had moved out there. Because it's beautiful and so they had to build a second Spanned the bridge and this project like so many. In the reason i highlight. This is If you look at this cove relief. Bill that just passed One of the things that you'll see is money for choo choo trains and for amtrak specifically. Now what is it with the left and choo choo trains. Why is it that left. Can't wait to fund the next rail project. Well let me give you the answer. Real projects are sinkholes. Four graft sinkholes for government money. Okay and so In the end amtrak. If you remember who used to be on the board of governors at amtrak you're gonna love this ready. Hunter hunter biden before his dad. Got him a job with burris. Mma hunter biden was on the board of amtrak. George w what. Hunter biden on the board of amtrak. Okay guess what amtrak buys in large quantities. Steel how many times have i told you guys that a lot of this comes back to graft in the steel business right. The one guy the single largest donor to the clinton foundation as an individual viktor pinchuk. What is victor pinchuk. Do viktor pinchuk owns. A company called inter pipe in where and what is enter pipe. Do they make pipe for pipelines and they make rail for rail's and they make wheel for real cars and interesting that amtrak had been buying a bunch of inter- pipe steel for rail and for railcars when hunter biden was on the board amtrak was buying stuff out of ukraine. Now that same company. That viktor pinchuk owned. Guess what they were not allowed to sell. No one was allowed to sell to iran because our sanctions right to sell to iran. You needed waiver from the state department. Viktor pinchuk gotta waiver from hillary clinton state department to allow him to sell steel to iran in violation of the sanctions. Okay and so this is all this is not speculation. This all happened. You can look. There was a new york. Times article about hillary clinton's ukraine problem related to viktor pinchuk and the donations when she was running for president. There was an article about viktor pinchuk and the nation's the clinton foundation and in fact Bill clinton used victor pinchuk private jet regularly. That was like normal. Okay and so Why am i talking about vendor viktor pinchuk and the clintons who cares right. That's old news. Well everything old is new again under the biden administration okay so the old forms of graft and corruption that why reinvent the wheel okay we used railcars and real steel. As a way to launder money. We've done this forever so everyone of your municipal rail projects in your community that they tell you it's about moving people right but when you look at the economics of them none of them ever work and the reason they don't work is because people don't wanna ride the future trains people really just one drive their car for the most part right. So how do you get all of the public officials to sign off on a public project. That literally can never work. How do you make that happen. Well simple right. You make sure everybody gets paid. And so all of these rail projects all around the country. All the ones that you see the whether it's the metro system in seattle that's run by the corrupt bureaucrat. Down there p whatever. His name is drawn a blank on the guy that runs sound transit. Who's a criminal and along with the Dow constantine the criminal that runs king county and yasufumi Because you're guilty and it would be fun to talk about what you do And your local officials all of these train projects all just boondoggle liberal money laundering instruments. And that's what this in the covert release relief project. That's why there's amtrak money in the thing. Hold on one second. Hold on schoff the new hat. Since we have them they came. These are the new nineteen. Eighty-four was not a manual at nerve able its villain t shirts available in the. I've got a kelly. Green nineteen eighty-four is not a manual hoodie. That i'm gonna be sporting later today to keep me warm. I drive so this is the kind of stuff that will help. Support the show. If you get visit the website you'll see the shop. And i think the shop is actually over on facebook now. Hats t-shirts and their men's and women's and different sizes. And.

Bay Curious
Does the Golden Gate Bridge Howl?
"To Answer Ryan's question about the sound he heard crossing the Golden Gate. Bridge. We, let our sound Engineer Rob Speight out of the studio to investigate welcome rob I live. Yeah. So what's with the sound will the sound is actually coming from the bridge itself a new sidewalk railing slats being installed as part of a win retrofit program to make the bridge safer and more resilient. I spoke with Paulo Brazil Schwartz, he works for the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District. Bridge engineers were designing original railings they wanted to provide pedestrians a sense of safety while allowing drivers to take in views of San, Francisco East, and the Pacific Ocean to the West while on the engineers design the new railings to look like the old ones except this shape makes them look more ever dynamic I'm old railing there. There are a few inches thick almost like a two by four. The new ones are quite thin and when the wind hits them just at the right angle and with enough velocity. What we're hearing now was recorded across the bay. But what are question asker? Ryan experienced was the sound on the bridge itself, right? Yeah. The distant sound is almost ferial whereas for those on the bridge. You can hear it really land moving. So. Loud. In fact that some people even recorded in their call one driving A. The bridge is making the sound all the time. Right? Right. It does require a pretty specific set of conditions are we've only heard at a handful of times where you could hear it beyond the bridge in order to create the effect, we do wins with a little bit of more west or southwest straight west wind doesn't we produce the effect only hearing it when there's a of an angle to it, he also went onto say that wind over a certain speed is also required to make the noise, but they're still studying this to determine what speed actually is. One thing I'm excited about Nubia. In the I found out if you look at the sound using spectral and as you know I'm a bit of a Geek and I do something evenings and weekends. Fundamental frequency of the sound is very special. It's four hundred, Forty Hertz. What's so important about four, hundred and forty hertz well as any musician muno eight, four forty is the tuning standard for the musical note a above C I mean it's kind of a bit technical but in general, all Western instruments use this frequency as the basis of a standard tuning. We did it very similar analysis to yours. I'm sure taking the video and analyzing the frequency four, hundred forty hurts the most audible one. There's also a a higher frequency ten, thousand, ninety, her we did. Recognize early on that one of them had a musical connection is a happy coincidence but the bridge making new noises, musical feature certainly, not something we designed for, which is why we're doing testing and we'll be evaluating mitigation measures to camp or eliminate the noise just based on feedback we've heard from the community. So you've probably got a short window to hear the bridge singing. It's mysterious song across the bay. Before the district implements fixed, we should do keep an eye on the weather forecast for North, westerly or southwesterly wind and then go and have a listen. Rob. Speight thank you so much. Thank you. Your

Matt Cooper on the Human Performance Engine
"There's stuff that we look at Mrs true with anything in life, right like their stuff that we look at and right away all our biases coming hit us right like we see someone just messing around and it's got the tag functional or someone's doing some sort of balanced based movement. We instantly tag that there's not enough strength. We got an appropriate exception last podcast we're getting new at this time and so obviously. There's always these biases that we have and it's not to say that these some of these methods are the perfect method right and I always enjoyed talking to you but digging into the parts of some of those methods that we would just kind of toss as functional garbage or whatever insert your term here. Right. But trying to dig into what actually is useful there what does fit with how the human body because clearly it's someone had to do it and feel good doing it. There had to be some component of that that felt right and good and worked with the body. And so the I was hoping we could get into a little bit of we're going to start talking about Fasha and fashion wiring. So though that in mind, what's your thought on? will explain actually I don't I don't see watch watch those videos probably enough as I should. But like kind of like the functional try triplane type activities and Fasha and fashion waring's could you give an overview of what train the fashion system means to you for athletes? Yeah. So basically, I think that training fashionable system in a holistic capacity is sort of one of the more missing ingredients when it comes to training faster here talked about in isolated silos, which is kind of interesting because a lot of people are very familiar with Myers work in anatomy trains. So they're used to hearing about how like the spiral line various slings body are interconnected yet for some reason, doesn't necessarily make it to the training application. It's like we all might be reading the same research, but we're distilling different applications, different training modalities from it. You'll hear it talked about a lot with just like foot morphology things like that, and that is very important for sure. But a lot of people aren't necessarily like the integration of fashion is making it to their training. Otherwise, they're not necessarily doing ballistic missiles is strength movements, our movements, corrective exercises that integrate all of these things at one time, and when you do that it kind of almost creates a suspension type effects like the wires about the Golden Gate Bridge, for example, give you titi southern coastal in a way that's like connecting the body with an segregate right tension with with integrity instead, you'll have these sort of. Isolated silos people might generate tension in one muscle group, but not in the same time until so you kind of tend to see some fashionable. Disjointed nece show up when someone goes to. Get Out. Court in the gym whatever. The. Whole ten legacy and the that whole element of it all and you spoke about the foot there and there was a presentation I did it was a couple of years ago on the foot and one of the pictures I included was It was a dinosaur and it was I. think it was like a break your source like one of those dancers. With a really long neck and it was talking out it was like each of those kind of like the same thing like each of the the ligaments that connected and the facial lines that connected each of those bones was really the the total structure, the total, the ten segregate created by that total structure was what was required to hold that net head up if It was just a muscle like individual muscles that were linking the bridges. It just wasn't going to happen or linking the spinal segments. It wasn't going to happen you needed something that was more that superseded like the single joints and kind of was like a grand more grand wrap that actually could hold that neck up and I think about that too I've mentioned this. On this show before but my kids, they like the book on Pop, the two and four, and they like to do that and so when they're jumping on, me barefooted you the the pressure that goes through the meal. Anyway like thirty pounds you know thirty and forty and the pressure that goes through the balls of their feet into me is is massive compared to. Any other strength output they might have. So it's like. Walking for skill and you don't really have any muscle, you can put all that pressure through one point through the facile system that to me I'm like, okay. Every time they step on like yeah, I think this is the fashion system at work here and that type of strength you just get. That's not the strength you build by a really by I mean you can get a better by lifting weights in particular ways that you do it but I feel like it's just so much more developmental and in our wiring and our physiology. Yeah, I mean and and that's kind of. A nice little loaded carry that you have. Manual loaded Gary Exercise of going on there with your kids. But Yeah I mean a lot of like in A. Kind of all straining conditioning community, it sorta sounds woke rights talk about the nervous system and I mean there is. Obvious, obvious obvious component for that. But if you're not also addressing on the structural side rights of the nervous the hardware, you're not also addressing it on the structural side by developing integrated fashion than you're still muscling through movements. Right. There's a lot of people who might think that they're doing performance training, but they're only really tackling it from kind of a rate of force production, nerve contraction, and relaxation velocity side of things. However, it's the fascist not integrated well, enough at least you're still kind of building an engine without building handling. Your building, our speed, but it abilities in the nervous system without. Having the structure transfer that energy, right? So the the fashioning well wound together is not just an injury prevention concepts right? It will yes. Distribute forces that you absorb in create appropriately or more appropriately. So you're less likely to get hurt but the fashion being well woven together almost like a basket or like one of those Chinese

Changing Shape
"In the spring of twenty fourteen. I was twenty three years old. I had just moved to San Francisco for my first real job. Things were good and then all of a sudden I stopped eating. I became obsessed with counting calories. I didn't let myself eat more than five or six hundred a day. A banana for breakfast. A Salad for lunch steamed Broccoli for dinner. If I had a meal that fell unhealthy I would make myself throw up afterwards. I wasn't sure why I wasn't letting myself eat. It wasn't that I wanted to look different. It was more like I my body to feel different. I wanted parts of my body to disappear when I pulled on my jeans. Did it quickly trying to avoid touching the curve of my helped in a shower? When I ran the wash cloth over my body I tried to turn my brain off when I cleaned my chest. But this compulsion to count calories didn't line up with the identity built for myself most weekends. My friends and I went for bike rides outside the city. It felt Rad to ride as part of an all women crew. My friend had a jersey that said blue skies big thighs one day. We went out for a long hilly ride. We stopped halfway for a snack. My friends got sandwiches and SMOOTHIES and ordered a small Kale Salad before my friends could say anything. I lied and told them that he'd had a really big breakfast. It was worried about my friends. Finding out that I wasn't eating. I was worried that they would tell me. I knew better I did know better. I minored in Gender Studies. I was in the giant of monologues. Four Times I didn't even date men a new. That diet culture was bullshit. A knew that my worth wasn't determined by weight. I felt too feminist and queer to have an eating disorder. The final climb back up to the Golden Gate. Bridge is a windy steep three Mile Hill. I've fallen way behind my friends. I'm starting to really slow down. The Hill is getting steeper. I feel lightheaded and nauseous. I tilt over to the side and because my shoes are clipped in I follow over. If pull my bike to the side of the road I sit down and I cry. I feel so stupid. Just like this is ridiculous. Why am I doing this? I Walk my bike up the rest of the hill later that year. I was in a bike accident. I don't remember the fall or the ambulance. The first thing I remember is waking up in the hospital. The doctor told me they assumed it was a hit and run. He told me someone had found me unconscious on the side of the road and call nine one one but the first thing I thought was. What did I eat for breakfast? Had I passed out on my ride Later that day I went home to recover and at the end of the week I took a short walk down to the lake. I sat still on the grass and Doug my fingers into the earth I could have died. I still had a nagging fear that the accident was my fault. And even if it wasn't my body was in bad shape I haven't gotten my period in months. I had acid reflux from all the PUKING. I felt fragile. I decided I needed to get help. I mean an appointment with a therapist who specializes in eating disorders. But my sessions with her always felt flat. She was sort of vaguely. Talked to me about beauty standards. She asked me what kind of shows I watched. And what magazines they read at the end of one session. After a long stretch of silence. She cleared her throat. She told me I want you to consider that the problem is not your body. The problem is how you've been taught to see your body. I stayed silent until it was time to go home. I thought about what she said. On my way home I felt like there was something more complicated going on. It didn't think I wanted that. Idealized female body. But I couldn't articulate. The kind of body did want during the time I was in therapy did gradually start eating more but I think it has less to do with therapy and more to do with the guilt I still felt about the bike accident and the damage. It was doing to myself eight kind of as if it was a chore but the Underlying Discomfort. I felt in my body was only getting worse. Felt it when I got dressed. All my clothes felt wrong. It wasn't so much the close. It was my body in the clothes when I put on a button down a hated. The way attended over my chest. I bought a pack of Hanes white t shirts but those never fit quite right either figuring out. My sexuality had been not easy but more straightforward. When I came out as Queer in college it felt obvious I had a friend and then all of a sudden we were holding hands and falling asleep in each other's dorm room beds and finally kissing but my experience of gender wasn't tied to other people in the same way I was trying to figure it out on my own until I met up with my friend. Jamie for a drink. We hadn't seen each other in over a year and in that time they started to transition. Jamie were mostly plain white. T shirts like I did. But now there's fit them flat against their chests so that they didn't have to tug at it all the time sitting next to them. I felt like the awkward younger sibling. Trying to mirror them leaned over the bar elbows wide just like needed. I became aware of my voice and tried to lower it and oxidative to match theirs. Jimmy told me about their transition their voice cracked and they joked about how starting testosterone was making them go through puberty all over again. At all my pimples. They said I laughed. I didn't pimples but I did want the other thing. They had the ease they seem to carry themself with. Jamie was somewhere else in this gender universe and I realized maybe so was I. I walked on Jess and after feel a little bit confident when I walked in. My house means we're all in the living room. I stood in the middle and asked. Can you start using the then pronouns for me only in the House I want to see how it sounds and try it out? Everyone was like sure my housemate gave me a high five. Went down the hallway room and laid on my bed feeling my heart pound. I turn the new Pronoun over and over in my head. We'll be right back a few months after I started going by then pronouns. I decided to buy a binder. Putting it on was not easy. It's kind of like a sports bra and a straightjacket combined but when I looked in the mirror for the first time my chest was flat I turned to one side flat and then the other flat. I straightened my posture still flat. At this point I was the heaviest I'd been in a year. I loved how strong I felt my long bike rides but I still wish that the parts of my body that felt soft and out of place could disappear now with the binder on a realized that this was the thing I'd been going for. This was the body I couldn't picture back in the therapist's office

"Happy Birthday Week. While we're all at home in the new normal feeling anything but normal the one thing worth celebrating life itself the pandemic has shown us just how fragile and beautiful life is the veneer of invincibility that we built up over. The last decades has been stripped away in an instant. We're now learning what we always have known but not acted upon which is the each day's precious and magical and that we can't take anything most especially health and the health of our planet for granted in that spirit of adventure. There's one place in San Francisco I've been trying to explore for nearly twenty years. The remote Farallon islands thirty miles off the Golden Gate Bridge on a clear day. You can see this. Cluster of three main islands from the shore. But here's the catch. They closed to the public. Because the farallones one of the largest seabird colonies in the nation the islands also hosts two seals great white sharks and many different species of whale. The farallon islands national wildlife refuge is one of sixty three such refugees around the country and the waters surrounding. The islands are protected as part of the great farallones National Marine Sanctuary for decades point Blue Conservation Science Petaluma based research organization whose mission is to conserve birds wildlife and ecosystems through innovative science partnerships and outreach his continuously had teams of scientists located on the Farallon's point blue has a formal research agreement with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Every few weeks point blue works with local boat owners who volunteer to resupply the Farallon scientists with food. I was lucky enough to tag along for the ride. I get on the boat. The outer limits in Sao Salida and we begin our journey. I'm joined by Pete Wolsey Buck who's point blue's senior marine ecologist and spent more time on the islands than anyone else on the planet while still on the boat. I stopped by asking Pete. Exactly how long point blue has been conducting research on the Pharisees? Yeah point blue has been working out on the fare lawns for more than fifty years We've had people on the island every single day since April Third Ikin. Sixty eight which is crazy. And it's just hard to believe that this fat much data scientific data going all the way back to the sixties. It is pretty incredible. There are not very many Continuous long term data sets especially for seabird monitoring throughout the world and the have one in an area special is a fair launch is in an incredible opportunity. And if you know this pizza I've been trying to get to the farallones like twenty two. It's a big deal super foggy today at does it. I don't know hopefully the Fogle if you've been out here a long time once you once you bet I think most times the fog lists sometimes mid to late morning But we have a lot of very very few days out of the airlines. The combination of the cold ocean water and warmer temperatures on the mainland tends to lead to fog out at the highlands. And you could have days when you get out there to the islands can't even see it until he could get on land. I mean yeah we like now maybe half a mile and I'd just just saw and it's pretty mad. I mean it's magical. They just kind of jot. How of the Pacific do you remember? First time seeing the farallones I do. I was going out. This was in the spring of two thousand. I was going out as a volunteer research. Assistant and We were on a long slow boat ride on a very rough day and We started sailing at about midnight. We got to the island about seven. Am and shortly. After the Sun was rising I started to see the islands poking up over the horizon and it was just an incredibly magical site by still remember a Dan. I still have the image in my head. Yeah it's it does feel like the mist of Avalon where the knights of King Arthur would like see. The Misr is and it kind of reminds me of some magical place. How the hell do we get from this big bill up on the cliffs above us it? It looks like a treacherous. I mean what? What's the procedure? It is rather complicated So the islands themselves are very rocky. There's no safe place to land a boat Island just kind of jumped right out of the ocean as you were saying so what we do. Is we have a crane. That's on the east side of the island and we use that to lower small landing craft into the ocean and that will drive out our boat and then from there it will shuttle the people and gear back and forth between the island and the the vote. That's burning us out here. The boat look Mike Below as like his has made out of metal. I've never seen like such a small wise. The vote metal Yeah Orlando Craft is what's called a safe vote and it's a solid aluminum hull with the flotation of styrofoams flotation secured. Around the outside of it. So it's a very sturdy boat and you can imagine when you're lifting it up out of the water with your in it or people in it And and you're moving it back and forth in his rough environment. You want very sturdy boat. So we're we're very happy to have it for them but then it looks like we have to be light. Lifted like fifty feet in the air. Which I've I've presumed that we're going to be in the boat. When that happens. It looks terrifying. Oh It's definitely unique and You know if you're afraid of heights it could be terrifying but now you tell me I I will assure you. It's all very safe You know we've been doing it this way for a very long time going into a little cove. You're going to hook the vote onto this crane and then you're gonNA lifted about thirty feet up in the air and swinging it over landing so it is a very unique and interesting way to use a boat.

Does Mount Diablo Have the Biggest View in the World?
"Okay so we set out to learn if Mount. Diablo is in fact numeral dose on the list of places on Earth where you can see the most land reporter Assault Asana takes a winding road to find out. The mystery of the view from Mount. Diablo is a romantic one steeped in local legend to find out. If it's true I drove to the source itself. Six hundred feet arrive at your destination from the base of the mountain. It takes me about an hour to get to the top. Well took so long. Mount Diablo sits on the eastern edge of the Bay area in Contra Costa County. But you can see. It's double peak pyramid from most spots around the bay at three thousand eight hundred forty nine feet. The mountains view is second to none. Well it's second to one. Maybe we'll find out so the view and you come up. Here is really amazing. How it compares. To Kilimanjaro is up for debate. But I'm kind of partial to the view here from Mount Diablo and I think most people would come pretty amazed by what the view looks like my tour guide today is Sharon Peterson. Mount Diablo state parks interpreter. Which she says means her job is to tell the story of the park. Sharon takes me to the summit's viewing deck. She says the clear day. You can see forty of California's fifty eight counties from here as little as one percent of some of those counties but still this is where we walk out into the wind. I she points West so you can see the Golden Gate Bridge today. You could see both towers with the naked eye and if I give you the binoculars you can probably for sure. She whips them out and there. It is the Golden Gate Bridge Sixty miles away two towers peaking over round top in the Berkeley Hills. That's really really cool. Then we turned north and you can see the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers forming the Delta South. It's a sweeping view of the Diablo range and livermore pleasanton and finally east or through the haze we catch a glimpse of the snow-speckled Sierra rising above the Central Valley over a hundred miles away. And I heard that you can also see Yosemite from here on a clear day you can and with binoculars you can see Sentinel Dome. There is a rumor that you can see half dumb but it's actually blocked by one of the land features in between seeing it for myself. The site is so magnificent so magical that feels like. I'm looking down at a watercolor. The only thing that compares is the view from a plane. Maybe it's possible. The Myth is true. It's absolutely not true. The Mount Diablo has the largest view in the world. Except for Mount Kilimanjaro. Seth Adams is the land conservation director at Save Mount Diablo and he spent a lot of time myth. Busting the Kilimanjaro claim. I never quite believed it. It just didn't have the ring of truth to me because it's a small mountain and common sense would tell you the taller. The mountain the bigger view but considering the myth has been repeated hundreds of times. He says it makes sense. People would believe it. Seth trace the infatuation with Diablo back to the eighteen fifties and sixties when scientists like Hosea Whitney first geologically surveyed the mountain. That's Jose Whitney of Mount Whitney the tallest mountain in the Sierra Nevada. Jose Whitney road. It is believed that there are few if any points on the earth's surface from which so extensive and area maybe seen as from Mount Diablo the whole area thus spread out can hardly be less than forty thousand square. Miles the legend snowballed from there repeated over and over for decades through the end of world. War Two a time when people really start experiencing parks and mountains. Recreationally and Mount. Diablo became a Goto tourist spot. The Kilimanjaro Claims Circulated and travel guides and hiking maps by railroad companies and Auto Associations Even Contra Costa County described it as quote the world's greatest view more territory visible than from any point in the world but as visitors flocked to Diablo for the views entrepreneur side. Chance to make a buck. More than half of Mount Diablo was locked up. Successively by two big real estate land speculators both of them printed brochures by the thousands that includes the claimed amount of having the largest boasting that claim was a smart business. Move for one developer. In nineteen seventeen he had a dream of building. Thousands of homes on Diablo's western flank and those amazing views helped push his agenda forward. Eventually the developer went bankrupt and the deal flopped. But it was too late. The brochures had done their work. Oh you can definitely credit the brochures for spreading the misinformation. But it's just too good acclaim the largest few in the world right and understand that California was a promoter's dream which brings us to another promoter the entrepreneur Walter p frick who hired a publicist to help him spread the rumor. The Mount Diablo had the greatest view on earth especially as he built an eight foot beacon tower known as the eye of Diablo but frick was working with engineers from the standard oil company and they were skeptical. Someone for the first time said come on biggest view in the entire world so after that the nineteen twenty eight standard oil bulletin added a footnote to their brochure except for a point in Africa. Clearly being Mount Kilimanjaro. From their the legend shifted from Mount Diablo having the largest few in the world to the second largest it went on like this until nineteen ninety four when it was officially debunked by an engineer slash mountaineer. Who did the math? His name was Edward Earl but he went by the nickname. Seven point three eight nine zero five six zero nine nine math joke. She said I don't believe this. And so what I'M GONNA do is. I'm going to find the problem. And I'm going to calculate view sheds for lots of other mountains and see how they compare view. Shed is the area visible from a specific vantage point including land or water. Now Remember Whitney speculated Diablo's view shed was about forty thousand square miles but according to earls calculations it's actually between thirteen and twenty one thousand. That might still sound like a lot but from other Taller Mountains. You can see more than three times as much and even for a total non mathematician like me. It kind of makes sense. Mount Kilimanjaro is five times the size of Mount Diablo so diop blow couldn't possibly have a comparable view shed even if it is an isolated peak.

Everything You Wanted to Know About Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
"I bring you in here because we wanna do effectively like a art special. We get a ton of questions about Bart and you are as far as I'm concerned. The expert in my life. Oh okay well. I'm flattered to hear that. How long have you been covering transit and paying attention to what Barnabas well you know. I've paid attention to what bar does since the mid seventy S.. That's when I moved here and I started taking Bart right then. I think my first Bart ride was nineteen seventy-three. I went to a warriors game when the system was no more than in a year old. What was your first impression. When I came out here. Fart was sort of this rumor. It had gotten national coverage right because they were doing all this crazy he stuff. They were going to go eighty miles an hour. The was much faster than the commute trains went in Chicago. It seems space age and The shape of the cars configuration of the cars that was different from anything I had seen so yeah. It was a cool experience and the other thing was it. was you know it was kind of cheap. Listen there was a time when the short hop rides were twenty five cents. Actually that was just in downtown Oakland in downtown San Francisco although a quarter got a lot further in nineteen seventy three than it does today. I mean things are really different. I mean listen. The other thing about this system was it was not heavily used in the past ten years. Here's the ridership just skyrocketed when the economy came back after the great recession. And that's really one of the chief reasons we've had such a crisis of crowding. Well I think that kind of tease us up to a couple of questions that we got from listeners So this first one comes from mark and he wants to know in. Its nearly fifty years of existence. Why has taken so long to extend into Santa Clara County and only nominally portrait into San Mateo County and never expanded into any any of the North Bay counties. Well there's a complicated history to that but I mean the simple version is that Bay Area Counties had the choice of opting into Bart art in the early sixties and some opted out Santa Clara and San Mateo opted out. There was some talk about a going up to the North Bay going to Marin that history is even more complicated there were engineering studies at showed it was feasible to put a track below the roadway on the Golden Gate Bridge and get the trains over. There were three engineering studies. That found that was fine. One sponsored by the Golden Gate Bridge district did not support that idea but that was on the table and when San Mateo County opted out the backers of Bart then no longer thought that the Marin idea would be feasible so they sort of pulled back on that and in the meantime you know the Golden Gate Bridge district never really liked the idea because back then Bart would have been competition for the service they were offering so far has only gone into Santa Clara and San Mateo detail in recent history because the people in those counties decided they wanted barred. Well I WANNA go back to the early days of the the beginning of Bart. We've got a question from listener. Who wants to know. How did they build the underwater tunnels for Bart. So this is one of the great epochs of the Bart Construction Story It took years and years to design the system that they used and the tube was built in sections they would build the sections in pieces that were longer within a football field and then when they were done with all that work they would tow the section of the tube out into the bay and then they would lower the tube which was sealed both ends down to its location which was of course very precisely marked and divers would join join the sections of Tube together one at a time so that joining the meant they were being welded together and bolted and the to was resting in a shallow trench that had been dug before the sections were brought out? So it took about three years of actual construction auction to get that all together. And that's the Tube we have today the other thing the other aspect I find fascinating is that you know you're actually going down. Pretty pretty steeply sides of the bay where you start up on the Oakland. And you're you're above ground say fifty feet and then you you the plunge under the bay this thing is a one hundred and thirty feet below the bay and then you have to come up on the San Francisco side to connect to the tunnel at Embarcadero cricket hero. The experiences a writer is pretty flat. You kinda feel you're just going straight across. Oh that's right. There are a couple of places where you actually change elevation under the water and It doesn't really feel like you're going up or down but that's exactly what you're doing. Let's get to our next question now. I WANNA go down into the Bart Stations. A couple parts ten questions. So this comes from Brad Meier. I've noticed that they're empty. Newsstands at some stations. What is the history. And why are they closed. And they could provide jobs to vendors in income to Bart. I'm asking because other transit systems around the country have newsstands open in their stations. So we came down to Bart's Montgomery Street station to answer Brad's question and standing looking at where one of these kiosks ask stood. Listen to deal with those kiosks was it was mainly an outlet for the chronicle and examiner the to San Francisco. Newspapers both are still in existence. They used to have a joint operating agreement and so vendors deal both of them. The Kiosk were actually very limited in size so not really amenable to the much bigger business. But the main thing that's happened is the newspapers Don't circulate by selling on the street anymore. Selling and Transit Stations Asians and that's due to the Internet and its do smartphones where people are carrying that information with them instead of having a paper medium in terms arms of whether these could be re purposed for another kind of business. Well maybe but again they're small A bit smaller. You're perhaps in the ones that you see in New York and Chicago and some other cities but the other thing is those kiosks generally sell other kinds of goods so food and Barton generally inside the station's discourages consuming food. We know that from a very recent famous incident where somebody was detained cited for eating breakfast sandwich at the Pleasant Hill station. Those are the main considerations and why these kiosks just aren't going going thing anymore but there is one sort of cool thing about this kiosk if you actually walk over to where used to stand here at the eastern end of the Montgomery Street concourse. Here's an audio effect. If you stand exactly where the kiosk was. Here's kind of an echo chamber here and is right for experimentation enjoy writing and now we have to go catcher train all right well. Let's get to our next question. I'm Jay Quigley and I live even Oakland at West Oakland Bart Station. Their ads right next to the third rail. How on Earth did they change those out without getting electrocuted. I asked this question because every time I look at the third rail I get terrified. Well you know the third rail is something you don't WanNa touch under any circumstances it's very high voltage and Instant death or at least extremely serious injury if you do come into contact with it so what they do is You Know Bart is shut down for a part of every day. Trains really stop running around one. Am and then. There's a window of time between one and four in the morning when a lot of maintenance activity takes place they shut down the third rail. I was told by Jim. Allison at Bart that they call it laying down a blanket. Meaning you know making that area like as if you're covering the rail with a blanket to make it safe they're not physically doing that and then Once the rails are de energized than the workers can work safely there

Atomic Waste in the Pacific Ocean
"Today nuclear waste in Marine Sanctuary in nineteen eighteen. Forty six ninety military class vessels were gathered around the tiny Pacific Toll Bikini for operation crossroads tests of the atomic bomb one. All these ships was the aircraft carrier.

The pediatrician said Lisa needed to feed her every two hours. All of a sudden she felt like she couldn't keep up. Get weighed on me is like I failed as a mom. I can't feed my child, even when she could get a break from breastfeeding pumping. She still couldn't relax enough to sleep as she got more and more exhausted.
