Hello, and welcome to the Quarantine Cook-Off presented by CalTV Entertainment. Each of our team members has been toiling away in the kitchen, honing their skills these past few months to become some of the most talented chefs in the world. But there can be only one cook-off champion. So without further ado, here are your contestants. Hey guys, it's Annie from CalTV. Today we'll be making chicken fried rice from Trader Joe's. Okay, it says a tablespoon of vegetable oil, but we only have olive oil. And we only have tablespoons that are measured in love, so we're just going to put a heap of love. Look how cute. Soy sauce, final product!  It's Paloma here with CalTV, and today I'm going to show you guys how to make a chai tea latte. So this is a really simple drink for fall. We got some ice cubes.  But we're going to use Tazo Organic Chai Tea Latte. You can find this at Costco, your local Albertson Safeway, whichever. We're going to pour, I would say, 3 fourths of a cup into your container. We're going to eyeball it, because that's what we do in life. We just eyeball things. All right, that looks good. And then you can take almond milk, oat milk, whole milk. Whole milk's not usually my preference, but that's what we got today, so we're going to work with it. And then we're going to pour some milk. And now to our final step, you guys. Put the lid on. Okay, you're going to make sure that your lid's secured before you do this. Here we are, you guys. Nice iced chai. Cheers. What's up? I'm Ishan, and today I'm going to teach you how to make a turkey panini. Fun fact, I actually used to be called the Panini King back in freshman year. Nobody called you that. Why would you say that? What? All I ask is for you to record the video, okay? I don't need your commentary. What are you, Anderson Cooper? First, the panini consists of three items. White bread, turkey breast, and pepper jack cheese. We then put the sandwich into the panini press and then close it. After it's been toasted and the cheese is all melted, I suggest adding lettuce and some barbecue sauce. I still got it. Hello, this is Nappy from County Vegan Entertainment. Today I'll be cooking sweet potato gnocchi with butter and sage from Trader Joe's. The first step is pouring the gnocchi into a bowl. Step two, put it in the microwave. Set it aside for four minutes and 30 seconds. Step three, take it out and enjoy. My name is Brandon and I'm just saving my lean cuisine because I found out this was a cooking show with a big cash prize at the end. And I love prizes.  You're going to want to preheat your oven to hot. The ingredients you'll need is a pan. I prayed to Rachel Ray this morning so I know I'm going to win. You're going to need already pre-made blended potatoes, fried, and frozen. Very conveniently, I did that yesterday. The next step you're going to want to do is bread your tater tots. You're going to want to arrange your tater tots because I'm impatient and I'm hungry. We're going to just pop these in. You're going to want to preheat your timer to 11 minutes or until the taters are dotted. I think our potatoes are done sunbathing. Oh yeah, drier than those conversations that I have in those breakout rooms. Oh! Gather them into a bowl. Now you're going to drizzle the vinaigrette over the tater tots and mix. Here's the final product. Let's try it. In order to really prove my abilities to myself, let's get a special judge guest. Thank you, chef. And that's it for today. Let's ask the audience. Do you think I did great? Vote. 1, 2, 1, and it was all a dream! It's Isabel Grace with CalTV Entertainment, and today I'm going to show you how to make cereal a la almond milk. Come with me. You have picked out your ingredients. You're going to open up the halina Cheerios. I don't know about you, but people look for their milk in before their cereal. Grab a spoon. You're ready to go. Hi, this is Ella, and today I will be making a peach crisp because it's fall. Okay, so I finished cutting up the peaches, and now I will be assembling. All right, so we got here the peaches and then this whole oat brown sugar flour mixture. All right, there she is. And there we go. Look how beautiful. That's the... Hi everyone, I'm Sophia, and today I'm going to be making spaghetti tacos for you guys. So if you want to see how I make it, come along and I'll show you how. So now we're going to add our spaghetti. I didn't put as much spaghetti as you want. It depends on how many people are having it. If Carly, Sam, and Freddie are all coming over, I'm going to put a little more.  I'm cooking, cooking things, cooking things for people to be. I'm cooking, cooking things, things that people would choose. I didn't see you there. So now that you've seen all our contestants, who do you think should win the Quarantine Cook-Off Crown? Who would you trust to run your kitchen? Be sure to vote and let us know in the comments below.


For me, the fourth school was instrumental in my career because it just opened my eyes up to the unlimited possibilities that my career could take. And really all gifts of all sizes really do contribute to making a difference for student support. The smallest to guess, over two, three, four hundred of them make up a really large gift and help create opportunities that otherwise wouldn't be there for students today. So participation is really critical.


My name is Jimmy. His name is Jake Fedex on the table and Zach over there. Welcome to the Weekly Dumb. Jake, how you doing? Jimmer, Z-Man, everyone. Hope you had a great weekend. I watched a lot of sports. I watched more. Jess had her bachelorette with a baseball player's wife, fiance, who was having her bachelorette. So we're now best friends. You watched more? Watched more sports than you. Damn. Yeah. Roasted. God. What else? Ah, I watched a lot of championships. The Asia Cup championship, FIBA championship, U19 Futsal championship, PLL semifinals. Damn. Oh, lazy. Speaking of the sports, let's get right into it, Jake. We got one that you want to talk about. Jim, a fun one in the sports world. It's a little hairy, actually. James Karinchak, relief pitcher for the Guardians, the guard dogs. He got the rub down from umpire Ted Barrett, Jim, looking for sticky stuff. Foul play suspected. Hair. Hair in his hair. Hair in his hair. Ted Barrett checked his hair in the weirdest way. I'm going to show you. I'm going to show Jake. I'll be James Karinchak. You'll be James Karinchak. Who I've been told I'm a doppelganger for a little bit. So this is how I would have done it. If I was the ump, I would have just went like this. All good. But instead they had James Karinchak under his belt and then like really submissively put his and then Which feels really nice. So I mean, I think we potentially could be missing that side of it. It's an unreal perfect storm of events because it's the twins being desperate because their season is going down the tubes. They go to check Karinchak because he keeps going to his hair a lot. And then you get all time tough guy umpire Ted Barrett. Civil War buff Ted Barrett. Boxing and probably a Civil War buff petting a young man on the mound. Ted Barrett sounds like he has ancestors that might have fought the Civil War to be completely honest with you. And yeah, Karinchak could have kept his head up, but he goes very submissive. Almost like like you could put like a fallen chain on him and it would make sense in the way it was done. Like I feel like you're pet right now. You've got a breakdown coming out on that video. We've got an almost a breakdown coming out on this little leager who's in the championship doing some or salt. Yeah. So the summer salt. He's running home.  The umpire is wildly out of position. He jumps to a stop and then starts summer salt and does one does two. The fans are like, no, no, no does three kind of pauses for a second. Like is he done? The ball comes in almost hits the umpire. Umpire evades it. And then where he loses me is then he stands up runs the west of the way home. That's okay. Runs the rest of the way home. Got it. It's where we are most aligned in life is that if you're going to somersault on a baseball field, there is one place you somersault into actually one and a half home plate. And your feet need to land on the plate or your hands. It needs to be end or start of the salt. I just realized third base on a triple would be cool. So that's my half point. But if there's one place you're supposed to somersault it's home. And if these kids parents don't sign them up for gymnastics class, you've missed one of the bigger signs. I really want to do gymnastics. And the parents are like, no, you're going to play baseball. Billy Elliot. And then they go out and do that. I mean, what a power move by this cat. He's a gymnast. When I said cat go black and white. More sports. Let me tell you a little something about the more sports. Before you tell me something about the more sports, I put in a bet in February that said, Aaron Judge, you have the most home runs in all of baseball. Come season's end. I did it on Draft King Sportsbook. And I'm so upset now that I didn't put way more money on it because I'm the smartest guy in the world. Don't care because it's football season, Jimmy. And that's the more sports. The NFL is back and in a big way. They had the best witching hour in a long time. That three to four 30 stretch was insane. And Jim, the big hubbub around here. Because we're talking Giants guys. Huge week for them. The Giants get a win. It's their first time having a winning record since 2016. They win at the buzzer. DeBalls on Brian DeBall. Yeah, we once went to a hockey game with him. Saquon. I think it's cool that the Giants are doing it with the players that they were failing with earlier. And usually they come through and they get them all out. But Sheper gets a touchdown. Saquon does it. Jarnes does it. The other team misses the kick. DeBalls. Did Zach just tell you he's going to get a dog and name it Saquon Barkley? Is that true? The Queen is dead.  I got to go tell the bees. What a segue. Transition, good job, Giants. Check out Talking Giants. Talking Giants, good podcast about the Giants. The Royal Beekeeper must inform the palace bees that the Queen has died. I think we just found out why I don't have this job. Not as gentle. No, this guy was very gentle. So Chapel. Sir John Chapel, not a sir. He's just a beekeeper. Bee John Chapel. Bee John Chapel.  But don't go.  So that's what this guy did to all the bees. He had to do this. See, the Royal Gardener sent him an email. I was like, hey, did you tell the bees? This is a tradition. So Royal Gardener is pranking the Royal Beekeeper. And that's how they're dealing with the passing of the Queen. I'm normally a pretty nice optimistic cat. The Royal. What are my cats?  You don't like him. Big time.   Literally. One of the biggest in all the world. Created it. Originally got into beekeeping 30 years ago because his wife loves honey. I don't know. She passed away dying when she was, take care of the bees. So that's not on the sheet. So I'd have to double check that. You sound like an arsehole. That's, it's hack. He did, he let the bees know. The bees said, we have our own queen. Guys.  Guys, the queen is dead. Shhh. Bees are like, we're bees. Oh, wrong thing. It's the employee of the week. No bees, ploy of the week. No bees. No bees. Take that. It's not going to the talking Giants guys. The Giants won. Like this is the happiest they've ever been. They don't need employee of the week now. They need it later when the Giants lose a lot. It's going to a new John Boy media employee. It's Chris Algieri. He's joining Dan Canobio on Inside Boxing. Like, ah, hit my knee on the way through. He's been in some like real boxing matches. Bad form. He'd probably tell you bad form. He'd tell me awful form. Him and Dan kind of look like hot kissing cousins. This game stinks, dude. I can't believe how bored people were. Gotcha. Zach, that might have been a tie, but I think I won. I think I won. Check the tape. I hit my knee on that way through before. Don't do a replay of it. Oh. That was a good job. Today's episode was brought to you by Draft King Sportsbook, the official sports betting partner of the NFL, and they're giving you an easy shot at a W.

I don't know how to touch another man's hair. Never done it. Imagine if that's the first time he's touched another man's head. He's had to have a kid sired a whole bunch of them. Sired? He's a sperm donor, Ted Barrett. I've decided. You can buy it. I've been getting pretty mad at these lately.


Brought to you by Penguin. An infamous army by Georgette Hayer, read by Christine Atherton. I have got an infamous army, very weak and ill-equipped, and a very inexperienced staff. Wellington to Lieutenant-General Lord Stuart, GCB, 8th of May, 1815. Chapter 1 The youthful gentleman, in the scarlet coat with blue facings and gold lace, who was seated in the window of Lady Worth's drawing-room, idly looking down into the street, ceased for a moment to pay any attention to the conversation that was in progress.  She was lovely enough to be watched the whole way down the street. Besides, the conversation in the salon was very dull—just the same stuff that was being said all over Brussels. I own one can be more comfortable now that Lord Hill is here, but I wish that Duke could come. The Bruxell was, had cast a roguish dark eye up at the window as she passed. The gentleman in scarlet did not even hear this remark, delivered by Lady Worth in an anxious tone, which made her morning visitors look grave for a minute. The Earl of Worth said dryly, To be sure, my love, so do we all. Georgiana Lennox, who was seated on the sofa with her hands clasped on top of her moth, subscribed to her hostess's sentiments with a sigh, but smiled at the Earl's words, and reminded him that there was one person at least in Brussels who did not wish for the Duke's arrival. My dear sir, the Prince is in the most dreadful huff—no other word for it. Only fancy! He scolded me for wanting the Duke to make haste, as though I could not trust him to account for Bonaparte, if you please. How awkward for you, said Lady Worth. What did you say? Oh, I said nothing that was not true. I assure you, I like the Prince very well, but it is a little too much to suppose that a mere boy is capable of taking the field against Bonaparte. Why, what experience has he had? I might as well consider my brother March, a fit commander—indeed, he was on the Duke's staff for longer than the Prince. Is it true that the Prince and his father don't agree? asked Sir Peregrine Taverner, a fair young man in a blue coat with very large silver buttons. I heard. A plump gentleman of cheerful and inquisitive mean broke into the conversation with all the air of an incorrigible gossip monger. Quite true! The Prince is all for the English, of course, and that don't suit Frog's notions at all.  I believe it to be a fact that the Prince is much easier in English or French than he is in Dutch. I heard that there was a capital quarrel the other day which ended with the Prince telling Frog, in good, round terms, that if he hadn't wished him to make his friends among the English, he shouldn't have had him reared in England, or have sent him out to learn his soldiering in the Peninsular. Off he went, leaving Papa and Brother Fred without a word to say, and, of course, poured out the whole story to Colborne. I daresay, Colborne don't care how soon he goes back to his regiment. I would not be Orange's military secretary for something. The Brooksell was, had passed from Lord Hayes' range of vision. There was nothing left to look at but the pointed gables and nanking yellow front of a house on the opposite side of the street. Lord Haye, overhearing the last remark, turned his head and asked innocently, Oh, did Sir John tell you so, Mr Creavy? An involuntary smile flickered on Judith Worth's lips. The ostrich-curled plumes in Lady Georgiana's hat quivered. She raised her muff to her face. The company was allowed a moment to reflect upon the imaginary spectacle of more than six feet of taciturnity in the handsome shape of Sir John Colborne, colonel of the Fighting Fifty-Second, unburdening his soul to Mr Creavy. Mr Creavy was not in the least abashed. He shook a finger at the young guardsman and replied with a knowing look, Oh, you must not think I am going to dive out all the sources of my information, Lord Haye. I like the Prince of Orange, declared Haye, he's a rattling good fellow. Oh! Sample complete. Ready to continue?


Oh, welcome to the Daily Decrypt, where currency competition is always on the menu. I am your host, Amanda, and today's episode is brought to you by Fort Galt. I suppose your name isn't Mr. Veerhoos. I suppose your name is Eric and Fort. Depends who's asking. Depends who's asking, okay. All right, well, for anybody who doesn't know, tell us who you are. Yeah, so my name is Eric Voorhees. I've been in the Bitcoin world as an entrepreneur and advocate for five years now, since 2011. Involved in a number of companies. I started Satoshi Dias most notoriously. I was a early member at BitInstant, as well as a co-founder of Coinipult. And for the last year and a half, I've been building Shapeshift.io. Neat. Well, the main reason I wanted to talk to you is because I respect and appreciate your obvious short to medium term vision of where cryptocurrency markets are going. And really, I think currency markets, because when you first got involved in Bitcoin, there wasn't this whole growing ecosystem of cryptocurrencies that were seriously competing with Bitcoin. And so what was it in 2011 that made you think, hey, this Bitcoin thing might actually catch on. I think I'll start a dice game online. What was it? Well, it didn't all happen that quickly, but when I first heard about it, I got excited because it was essentially a way to move money around without anyone's permission. And that had never been done before. So there had never been a way to move value at a distance between two people without someone else, whether a bank or a company, having a say in it or being able to block it or censor it or taking a fee or telling you when and how you can do it. And so that, I realized pretty quickly that that was a very substantial innovation and pretty much just throughout everything responsible I was doing and dove headfirst into the Bitcoin world. And how did you hear of Bitcoin? Did you have a dream of it? Did Satoshi write you a Facebook message? How did that happen? Yeah, I'm best friends with Satoshi on Facebook. He wrote me a message. But actually it did come from Facebook. I had a friend who part of Free State Project. He was a friend up there in New Hampshire with me and he posted about it some article. This was like early May of 2011. And it just said about this interesting digital currency that had gone up 500% since the fall or whatever and caught my eye. And then I just spent hours and hours and hours reading about it. I think a similar story to how many people got involved which is that they just fell down the rabbit hole and most of us are still down here. Did you end up in the hospital like Bitcoin Jesus from dehydration or something? I didn't, I remember to eat and drink. But I did stop doing everything I was doing and just became totally obsessed with it. So I want to, I've heard you say in a presentation before that you used to be a Bitcoin maximalist. And now your current business, shapeshift.io of course is proof that you are no longer a Bitcoin maximalist. But I want you to define that term for us and tell us what it was that caused you to change your mind. So the term Bitcoin maximalist means someone who thinks that Bitcoin will be the only form of digital value, the only form of digital exchange, the only cryptocurrency. It's the idea that you don't need multiple monies. Bitcoin's the best, it has the most traction, it has the most security, it has all the momentum by far the largest market cap and liquidity. So it will over time push all the others out of the market. And I generally agree with that sentiment to a point which is that there isn't a need to have lots of forms of money. Just like there's not a need to have lots of different units of measurement for distance, right? Even two, standard metric is too many. We should all be using the metric system for measuring distance. Money is a measurement of wealth and value and you don't need lots of ways to measure it. But when different digital assets can do unique things that Bitcoin cannot do, then they have a place and a value and a role to play as complements, not necessarily as competing currencies, but as other digital assets that do special things. And so you have coins that are more private than Bitcoin, they just have different ways of panning the privacy aspect. You have coins that are pegged to the value of dollars. You have coins that have advanced scripting languages like Ethereum. These won't necessarily compete with Bitcoin as pure money but they will exist in tandem with Bitcoin fulfilling different needs that Bitcoin doesn't fill and that's a good thing I think. Hmm, now this gets to the crux of what I wanted to talk about because it seems like currency is a thing in which obviously the network effect is paramount and so one may want to hold the currency that the most other people hold because that guarantees that you'll have the most other interested trading partners. And I can see that aspect of it. And then other times I wonder, as you've said, you don't believe that cryptocurrency, any other cryptocurrency will compete with Bitcoin in the exact space where Bitcoin performs basically nothing that is just like Bitcoin can compete with Bitcoin. And I'm wondering what your view is on, do you foresee people just enjoying diversity for the sake of diversity? Yeah, for a while. I think during its experimental phase, which is its first 10 years of life, there is value in simply having other coins purely for diversity reasons. There could be some terrible bug with Bitcoin that causes it to collapse. There could be some regulation that applied to Bitcoin, but for some reason didn't apply to something else. There is, it's an unknown, an unknown world and often it's better to have a diverse ecosystem of lots of different types of assets. So I think there's certainly value in that. In 50 years are people gonna have five different coins in their wallet that are all purely for payments. I don't think so. I think that wouldn't make sense, but they may have 20 different types of blockchain assets that all do different things. Some might be access tokens for certain programs. Some might be stable with certain assets. Some might represent certain assets. You could have a coin that represented a share in a Taylor Swift song and it would pay you dividends over time from her earnings, that kind of thing. Bitcoin's not gonna do that and it shouldn't. I mean, it fulfills the role of money really well, but there are lots of other ways of using value that are not necessarily money that other types of digital assets can take on. Neat. Well, that's very interesting. And what, as far as development, do you foresee these say it's 50 years into the future and I have 20 different kinds of blockchain assets in my wallet? Do you foresee those living on 20 different blockchains or what's your take on this whole notion of side chains and that alternate view of how different functionalities might be achieved? I think most coins will be on a few blockchains. So I imagine the world and predictions of this kind are always gonna be wrong, right? But I imagine a world where there are several large popular blockchain protocols and millions of different assets live on those things. Maybe there will just be one. I mean, maybe the Bitcoin blockchain will become the platform on which absolutely everything is built, but I think it's more likely there will be a small handful of popular blockchains that are used. I don't think if there are a million digital assets out there that there will be a million blockchains that would be highly inefficient. All right. Well, let's shift gears to shape shift. That was good. Yeah, you like that? Yeah, you've been working on that one for a while, right? Free for you here on the daily D-Crip, Eric Hughes. Yes, yes, yes. So I wanted to ask, I guess, I remember when shape shift first came out and I thought, oh, that's a clever name. And then I saw like no account needed, just come to our website and we'll swap a doodle for you. I remember thinking like that's just like a bold move. Like what made you think that you could have an exchange without accounts, Eric? What made you think you could do that? Who told you you could do that? I got Obama's permission first. I spent two years trying to get a call with him and then pitched him the idea and he said, yeah, sure. So after his endorsement, I felt like it was probably good to go forward with it. No, in reality, I wanted to speculate on some strange altcoin that I heard of, like in mid or early 2014. And I just wanted to put a few hundred dollars into it. I didn't want to spend a lot of time researching or like setting up an account and figuring out a wallet situation and all that. I just, I wanted to have some within one, within 10 seconds of having the thought. And I was like, I have some Bitcoin. Why the hell can't I just snap my fingers and turn it into some other digital currency? It really shouldn't be any harder than that. And so as I thought about that, I just realized, well, of course it can be done. It's just one of many things in the ecosystem that people haven't built yet. So I thought, well, I should build this because I think it'll be very important to have a mechanism by which any digital asset can be instantly converted into any other digital asset. So that was the idea. It was sort of something I built for myself. And often when there's something that a person wants, lots of other people want it too. And I read on Reddit the other day that Shapeshift had a record sales date over the weekend or something. Yeah, we, I mean, ever since January volumes have been growing like crazy. So January was like 10x the volume of a year before. And already in February, we've gone more than, it's halfway through the month and we've already gone beyond volume we did in January. So it's growing very fast, which is exciting and a little scary. But, you know, it's fun. Right on. Well, and I have one final question for you, which is a bit of a reference to something you had said earlier, which is that you used to live here in the Free State, New Hampshire, where I am now. And you may or may not have heard that the move got triggered last week. And I just wondered if you had any plans to ever visit again or perhaps even return here. And if so, what would it take for you to do that? I certainly plan to visit often. The Liberty Forum and Pork Fester two awesome events that I try to get to when I can.  You know, largely I got excited about Bitcoin because it had the spirit of the Free State project, which was, you know, to actually do something to expand Liberty in the world. Something which people think, well, I'll just go vote for a politician, but it's a very pointless and futile exercise. And the Free State project was a really innovative way of changing things. And it was that sort of spirit that got me extra excited about Bitcoin when I saw it as something that would help bring Liberty, not by asking permission from anyone, just by people voluntarily starting to use it. So I like to think that I am furthering the spirit of the Free State projects in my career and in my work in Bitcoin. But yeah, I have a lot of love and affection for what the Free State project is doing and try to get out there when I can. Righteous, righteous. Well, I do believe that you have a blog and it's a cleverly titled one. Tell people where they can find that if they're interested. The blog is moneyandstate.com, moneyandstate.com. So I post there occasionally when I get on a coffee-fueled binge of opinionated thinking. And the Bitcoin, I think to some people in the world is sort of a way to move money more cheaply, but to a lot of us who got involved early on, it's really a very powerful tool for bringing Liberty to the world to separate money from state in the same way and for the same reason as it was important to separate church from state and for the same reason that it's important to separate speech and thought and relationships from the state. Money is no different in that aspect and so that's where the name of the blog came from and ultimately I see my role in the Bitcoin world as trying to build a system that demonstrates that money should be left to the marketplace and not to government. Well, that's excellent, Mr. Virhuz. And I am confident I will see you at a future Liberty Forum or pork fest. And so until then, thank you for your time. Thanks so much. Have a good one. Today's episode is brought to you by Fort Galt, an early-stage community on the coast of Chile near Valdivia for entrepreneurs and their families. The 100-acre property is pre-installed with water and power lines and Bitcoin is now being accepted for the purchase of both residential lots and apartment units. The first apartment building is almost entirely sold out and construction on it is set to begin within three months. You can learn more about the project and its prices by visiting fortgalt.com. Feel free to leave your wisdom or otherwise in the comment section below and have yourself a righteous day.


Repentance involves the sinner's apprehension of his own wretched condition. Did you hear me? Repentance involves an apprehension of your own wretched condition outside of the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. Outside of the grace of God. Sinners think to themselves, I have need of nothing. And what does the Lord Jesus Christ say? You do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. That's the problem with our condition outside of the grace of God is that we don't think we need anything. We're not that bad. That's not that mad. Right? Repentance involves a godly or a godward sorrow over sin. A sorrow over sin because it's a sin against the holy God.
