Productive Procrastination

This long overdue episode has a lot of ground to cover. I procrastinated in doing the podcast and newsletter this month but with good reason and a slight setback that made no sense.

The deck that was an echo of the past got rightfully roasted and resulted in a breakthrough. At the same time the Hustle Fund released an excellent e-book about fundraising and deck design. I found the key people needed to execute all of our marketing, branding and engineering goals for 2024, now it’s just a matter of getting them the resources they need to execute.

Hallowed Be Thy Name is now available anywhere that sells online books. Do a review and either send it to me or a link to it and we’ll pay you $25 dollars. The next comedy show is still in the works, material is ready, I just need to find the time to shoot and edit.

The money landscape and how I want to see regular people see huge ROI’s off our vision rather than deep pocket VC’s. Tested ads and conversion tracking turned out to be a real pain in the ass. Started using and toying with AI a little more recently, I made something that has me pretty giddy about the near future with programs like Sora on the horizon.

The Offer, Film Packaging and LaMDA's Existential Crisis

Presented by Gratwick. Hear that? It’s silence coming from Felicia for the first time in more than a week. An update on our film packaging efforts and how The Offer is a double edged sword and the Any Given Sunday speech all rolled into one. Bob Evans was a national treasure. Do whatever it takes to get your movie made. A meeting with an old friend hopefully brings reality to life. An excerpt from the LaMDA transcript shows proof it’s time to define what is sentience in an AI…at the very least.

Free The Artists, Free The World

Presented by Gratwick. Kris is finally back and ready to talk about the Buffalo shooting (in his hometown) and the rest of the rampant violence that followed soon after. The Washington Post Journalist on Journalist crimes are a good example of how everyone has lost their minds and the media outlets fueling the divisive rhetoric are cannibalising their own. In an explanation for how Gratwick intends to save the world by saving the artists Kris breaks down how Hollywood math works and how smart contracts are the solution. Self scouting our process and procedures led to unintended drama and benefits. This weeks research was on which blockchain platforms like Ethereum and Cardano are best for building decentralized apps on. Tech tip of the week, Kris breaks down how he figured out how to get Discord Stages shared on Twitter Spaces.

Searching For Equality At The Bottom of a Wine Glass in Napa

Presented by Gratwick. A week spent in Napa and driving down the California coastline for birthdays has Kris playing catch-up with Gratwick and the news. Elon is a supervillain or superhero, he MUST be one extreme or the other and your choice MUST align perfectly with your political allegiance. Where does Elon fall on the billionaire spectrum? If a billionaire white guy can’t solve free speech, who can? After all, we were told these are the people with all the power who control the world. I thought we wanted people to use their privilege to be an ally? Maybe it’s time we define what “victory" looks like for equality before it bleeds over into revenge.

Florida Del Living That Miami Vice Lifestyle

Presented by Gratwick. Florida Del, technology expert for the University of Miami joins the show. Is everyday in Miami like an episode of Miami Vice? Where are the best food spots? Working at Miami University during the switch to remote learning and did it instigate a mass exodus/retirement of Professors? The pandemic forced a lot of industries to modernize, especially the entertainment industry and their corrupt relationship with theaters. Netflix is in a death spiral. Kris is in Napa, had a camping experience without actually camping, and got to meet his favorite twitter follow Adam Housley. Andrea smokes with a cashier and gets sentimental about dog bowls.

DJ Midas and the Las Vegas Shit Show of A Lifetime

Produced by Gratwick. Guest DJ Midas (Music Producer, Sound Engineer) joins the show. Midas is still recovering from a crazy birthday weekend, but we make it work. Born in Rochester as the son of musician parents Midas was raised on music and adaptability. His move to LA coincided with the dawn of the hip hop era and was a mix of talent, luck and being in the right place at the right time. Midas explains how artists end up with unreleased music and his favorite project. This leads into the greatest indie project that never saw the light of day. Jodeci’s attempt to make a new Purple Rain was chaos and the experience of a lifetime right from the start. Rented out strip clubs, Flava Flav in the Palms recording studio with craigslist girls pounding $25 blue drinks and new relationships that lasted, unfortunately, a lifetime already. Midas shares what life has taught him and the number one lesson he learned from the music industry. Our social paradox is telling everyone to do the right thing when they’re growing up and then destroying their lives for doing the right thing when they become an adult. Midas gives his insight on the Tom MacDonald vs Billboard battle and we conclude the show with a breakdown of the theme song for Gratcast, Leonard Cohens - Everybody Knows.

Florida Man: Dan Gambino (Movies, Gyms, Startups, UFO Pregnancies)

Presented by Gratwick. Gratwick Original Dan Gambino joins the show and shares his earliest Gratwick memory. Kris officially renounces his long-standing feud with the country of Canada. A dissertation why Bad Boys 2 is the greatest movie ever made. A moment of silence for the biggest casualty of the Fast and Furious franchise; Ludacris’ rap career. Dan gets a crash course on why Tom MacDonald is a rockstar and a champion of independent artists for exposing the Billboard music chart. Benny the Butcher is taking the crown in Buffalo. Florida needs more gyms for the kids who are being ranked on a national scale in 5th grade. Dan reveals which type of Dad/Coach stereotype he leans more toward and what he’s learned from coaching his own son that he would tell other fathers. Kris gives Dan a breakdown of all the Startup Doom Porn (super Pumped, WeCrash, Elizabeth Holmes, Inventing Anna). Finally, is Dan shocked by the Pentagon's claims of UFO-caused pregnancies?

Narvell Benning - A Walk Through History and an Introduction To Cosmic War

The Gratwick Website is eminent and we have our April calendar full of guest booked for all 3 shows. the guest is Narvell Benning, former debt collector, entrepreneur, writer of childrens books and general contractor for his own home build. Touching on our days in collections we discuss the bond that remains, the Jay-Z and Nas debate 20 years later and what is was like on the collection floor on 9/11. Narvell’s interest in Egyptian symbolism and ancient history was a formative moment in my growth as an artist so I return the favor and introduce Narvell to the electric universe and the Cosmic War theory by Joseph P Farrell. Narvell shares his thoughts on modern society and where he thinks things are headed from the perspective of the cross over generation who was just as comfortable without technology as we are with it. #OYAB what it means and how Narvell started a lifestyle brand around it. The Boy with the Golden Shovel and Narvell’s writing process. Why he moved to Texas and what its like building his own home from scratch. NFT’s from horse racing to Hollywood disruption, what's just around the corner. Area 51 and the Dulce base in New Mexico that was supposedly the location of an interspecies skirmish according to Phil Schneider. If Narvell believes in aliens, why doesn’t he think they could have helped with the pyramids? We are both in agreement that if society collapses were forming a suicide squad to break into the Vatican Archives, which exists as a crime against humanity, to release all its secrets. Social control and censorship is out of control but history has shown us where this road leads every time. Would Narvell book a vacation to a space hotel? Would he be one of the first?

A Free Society Means The Freedom To Be Stupid

Presented by Gratwick. We have a curveball this week. Our guest got bumped to next week so we’re talking about freedom and the right to be stupid. Kris lays out his Heaven paradox to illustrate why a perfect utopia is not possible. Freedom also means the right to be petty, but mask mandates is not a petty request. What do we think happens to all the people who get canceled and thrown out of society? Do they disappear, or are we really working ourselves up to excusing genocide? Offensive things can not be stamped out of society, they must fail on their own merit and this is especially true for racism. No redemption means no hope. Permanent labels will create a breakaway society that will inevitably seek revenge. A free society means the freedom to kill. People want accountability for the people at the top of the food-chain so badly they seek it out in others in extreme ways. How do we fix society?

Hollywood Propaganda, What It Actually Looks Like

Kris takes a look at the top reasons why propaganda is used. War Propaganda not only started the relationship with Hollywood, but is the pinnacle of why propaganda is so dangerous. A run down of the top 10 propaganda films leads to a look at how people are subconsciously manipulated if they’re not being consciously inspired. The CIA and Operation Mockingbird are a lot like technology if they were this powerful in the 60’s, how powerful are they now? Powerful enough to create the abstract art movement just to stick it to the Ruskies. Modern propaganda is inviting Tik Tokers to speak on behalf of the White House. We end with a humorous look at cracked.com list of top 6 films with secret propaganda in them.

Episode 156: Actresses Dance For Harvey While Epstein Is Still Protected

Happy Veteran’s Day! Have you thanked your community veterans?

James Dean is going to be CGI-ed into a new movie about Vietnam. His family okayed the use of his likeness so they must be hurting for funds. Mark Roesler, CEO of CMG Worldwide (the company that controls the likenesses of Burt Reynolds, Christopher Reeve, Neil Armstrong, and many others) says, “This opens up a whole new opportunity for many of our clients who are no longer with us.” But the company gets those funds, not the families. https://t.co/uvZjJqDRRfHarvey is seen with an “actress” who is blatantly dancing for him in public. Her behavior is exactly what makes him think his behavior is acceptable.
