Hello everybody! E here. Welcome back to another book review. Today we are talking about Mike Backevin's Fantastic Land. If you see any weird light anomalies, it's because I'm shooting this way early in the morning. I don't normally shoot at this time of day for this reason, but I'm going to be super busy all week. I'm trying to get these videos done before I get into my busyness. Busyness. Busyness. Anyways, so Fantastic Land. This comes highly, highly recommended by the horror community on my top horror novels not written by Stephen King, Liz, there's comments recommending this book. Every single time I bring up horror novels, modern horror novels, horror novels I didn't like. People point me in the direction of this one. It is the same way with The Last Days of Jack Sparks. I like this one much more than The Last Days of Jack Sparks, but it does have its issues. The issues I have with it are huge, spoilers for the story. Unfortunately, every single time the book got good, something happened that made me just, it's like no, that's not something that would happen, could happen or any number of things. It has nothing to do with the actual nuts and bolts of the story itself. In fact, there's one chapter in here that is amazing. It's brilliantly written, it changes the entire course of the story. I think it's chapter 14. I can't remember. If you follow me on Goodreads, or if you read my review over there once I get it written, you'll see in the notes that I posted, the updates when that happened. But still, again, I loved that, but it also changed the entire story for me. What I went in expecting was not exactly what I got. Now that it is bloody, it is gory, there's great action. The characters are a little one note in places. There are some really great characters that you feel have their own voice. The way the book is written is a series of interviews. Some of the interviews aren't quite believable because the interview would have hurt their court cases. I believe all of this stuff happens afterwards, so maybe not. Well, of course, all of these interviews happen after the court cases, so maybe not because you can't do double jeopardy. There could be civil lawsuits, like O.J. Simpson was convicted of not killing Nicole and Goldman. I can't remember who he killed, but his wife and that dude. But then he lost in civil court, I believe. I didn't feel that some of those were believable, that they would go into that much detail knowing that they could be brought to justice, so to speak. I mean, they wouldn't go to jail, but they would end up being sued to death. I think the main problem I have with this, other than the stuff that we're going to get into in the spoilers section, which will be after the outro, the main problem I have with this is that all these interviews pretty much sound the same. You had probably five or six out of, I think, it's well over a dozen people. Let me go through here real quick. Oh my gosh, there's 23, so there's almost two dozen people in here. And I can only remember the individual personalities of about five people. The leader of the shop girls, the guy that sounded like he was from the mafia, the obviously Southern, who was it? The guy that prosecuted the kids. There's so many people in here that sound the same, especially like there's another shop girl, there's an anonymous one that I thought for sure was the original one, just anonymous because she talks about murdering people. But with that one it wasn't her because toward the end of that chapter, reasoning is given. I guess that's a bit of a spoiler. So I don't feel like the book is as amazing as everyone makes it seem to be. It is a good book, it is a fun book, it is a well-written book. But I don't feel that it's amazing. So if you read Mike Bakovan's Fantastic Land, if you have, let me know down there in the comments below. If what you have to say is spoilery, please put a spoiler alert for this book. Please put spoiler alert at the top of your comments. If you didn't like it, let me know exactly what you didn't like. If you liked it, let me know exactly what you liked again. Please spoiler alert if you're going to be talking about spoilers. But until next time, I have been E, you have been U, this has been another book review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye bye. So if you're here, if you're still hanging around after the outro, this is where I'm going to be talking about spoilers for Mike Bakovan's Fantastic Land.  I almost knocked off another one, but I did enjoy it more than just, you know, more than just being in the middle. I know Goodread says three, you still, I mean, three I think is like it. Four is loved it. Five is amazing. So I liked it. I'm right there in the middle. I liked it. In fact, two might be I liked it. I'm not sure. I could never remember how Goodread does it, but I'm right there. I'm right there in the middle, but it bumped me over into the four category. But I don't want to say I loved it. I did love certain scenes and that's what we're going to talk about now. But there is that, but there are problems with these scenes. Okay. So first one we're going to talk about is the utterly asinine fact that the canon at this theme park works. Not only does the canon, a workable canon isn't that big of a deal for me.   Before that, in fact, he even, he goes into it being a writer myself. I see these, the structural, how things are built. And there's certain times where I like that part right there. He added that part because someone told him or he realized himself that this is not going to work unless he makes up an excuse for it. And usually the excuse is that the owner of the park was a stickler for authenticity. There's absolutely no reason for there to be gunpowder in a theme park, none whatsoever. You could have a bag sitting there next to the canon that says gunpowder and nobody would tell the difference. It's not like you're going to be shooting off the canon and if you are shooting off the canon, you're definitely not using cannonballs. There's no, there's no reasoning for it. Another thing that they bring up as far as authenticity is concerned is in the pirate section they have actual jail cells that will lock and you can lock people away inside of them. This blew my mind. I don't, I don't understand, well I do understand because it's a plot point. I know this is going to annoy some of you. I'm sorry, the sun's moving, but yeah, the light is bothering me.   There's no way whatsoever. The only believable, the only believable section as far as like the violence is concerned and the destruction is concerned is maybe he gets away with the C4 toward the end of the book when they destroy the exclamation point. Because they are talking about their, they need to do demolition in the park. I still, I'm still on the fence about that one though, them needing C4. I just can't imagine being at Disneyland and hearing boom, you know, while they're doing that and they're not going to do it at night because people around that area it'll keep people awake, that kind of thing. But most importantly, no working canon. I couldn't believe that section. Now, the section, the aftermath of the canon was amazing writing. I understand why these choices were made by Bachman.  It just, it doesn't, it doesn't ring true to me and it ruined that section. There's, there's a part in a hotel room in a $450 a night hotel room where somebody opens a window and escapes out of the window. I've been in a lot of expensive hotels, a lot of expensive hotels and I have never once been in one that lets you open up a window. This is a problem that happens a lot in horror fiction because people are always having to escape and now it's down here. Can I scoot? That's a little better. People are always having to escape and people are always climbing out of windows that they shouldn't be able to climb out of, hospital windows or people are jumping out of windows that, or jumping through windows that they can't. It is a storytelling device, but it's, it's a problem and especially in the horror genre it's a problem. I don't read too many thrillers. I suspect that it'd probably be a problem in thrillers, but these are sections of the book that took me completely out of the story. And that's just not something you want in a book. You don't want to be sitting there questioning whether or not something would happen. Whereas with, I'm only bringing this up. I know I'm a Stephen King fanboy, but I'm only bringing this up because in the Institute, I'm sure that there's some issues there as far as with plot or whatnot, but my, my disbelief was adequately suspended. I never once thought about how these kids with mind powers were doing what they were doing or rada rada rada, so on and so forth. This is a story that happens in reality and I question this more than I questioned the speculative fiction aspects of the Institute. This is a good book though. I'm not going to sit here and say it's not. It is a good book, but I don't understand how anyone could go through this and not find those issues, um, any who. So those are, those are the, those are the things that really, really bothered me. Unfortunately, there's a lot of stuff like that in this book. And I just want to talk about those key elements. There were sections that were entirely believable, especially the, the reasoning for why the kids devolved so quickly, why they went crazy so quickly. The section, we're in the spoiler section. So once again, the, the bit, I think it's, I, I want to say it's chapter 14. But in chapter, I'm going to, I, I don't know, but in this certain chapter, the, the reasoning for the kids going crazy, them seeing all the stuff at the carnival, certain, or the circus area, um, going in there, finding the bodies hanging all around, finding all this gore and everything splattered all over the place, uh, that was fantastic. But then you find out that it's all stage production, basically. They have used fake bodies, fake blood, fake viscera, all that stuff. And the beginning of that chapter starts with the person involved in the person responsible for it saying, this is probably all my fault. I didn't kill anyone, rada, rada, rada, but this whole thing is probably my fault. Because what they did to protect themselves by decorating the circus like that is they, they terrified the other tribes. That's what they're called in here. The pirates, the shop girls, so on and so forth. They terrified, uh, these people to the point that they felt like they needed to, uh, the Brock Hockney pirates, that's a whole different thing. But they terrified this whole, the, all these other tribes, the Deadpool's, the shop, shop girl, all of them terrified them to the point where they felt like they absolutely had to defend themselves. That, I think that was a brilliant piece of writing. To go, okay, nothing really happened. No one was hurt or maimed or murdered to, to spark all this. What happened is these were terrified kids who suffered fight or flight. Some of them ran. In fact, the hotel scene's amazing up until he escapes out the window. This is what I'm talking about here. This whole book is full of scenes that are absolutely amazing until the author uses an author device, a storytelling device to try and save himself. And you know, you see it on the page. You're like, this wouldn't happen. He tries to, he tries to say that the hotel window only rolled out a little bit. They don't open it all. Once you, I don't know about lower floors, but especially not upon the 18th floor, the windows just do not open. I want to love this book, but here we are at every single scene that I saw, every single scene that I saw that was amazing. And I know that by this point I'm just repeating myself. Every single amazing scene had a problem with it.

Good morning guys. I am so tired. My face is so puffy. My roller doesn't come in until tomorrow I don't know how I lost my ice roller It just stays in my freezer. Like where did I put that thing, you know? Anyways today is another day of vlogmas I was up late last night wilding out because we filmed those collabs and then Colleen Hoover's new book came out So I was up until like 1231 which is pretty crazy for me But like the reason I don't say up is because even waking up at 8 a.m. Or I think 7 30 this morning was so Difficult, but I just can't rally anymore guys. It's the quarantine. That's done this to me Anyways, I'm going to my dad's to have coffee outside with him. I like it's so weird I don't know what happened, but I think I like hurt my ribs How would I have done that and like not known today is like an at-home sort of day. Um, oh my gosh guys Oh, it's a gas. It's not just like the worst thing. I don't know why I just hate going to the gas station so much Actually, maybe cuz like creepy guys are there But anyways Sydney who's like one of my greatest friends and you guys have seen her I'm pretty sure she was in last vlogmas, but at least you vlog just ago because she was in a lot of the vlogs and She's so freaking funny. It was like not my ministry jokes Anyways, I'm cooking for her so she's coming over also like look how cozy I am this morning all princess Polly Like so cozy I'm trying to upload my video. Do you want to jump in the pool? Just kidding actually, please don't fit. Hi He just like doesn't care about me once he goes to the yard. This is where you guys actually you're supposed to be They have like a separate dog yard Guys look at how big he is. He's literally a puppy. He's actually seven months old Can you believe that? My dad just brought me out coffee. I'm trying to upload vlogmas, but it's been really annoying This is my work setup for this morning. It feels so good Oh no, just out here working with the dogs Hi guys, um, I have been crying I liked my outfit today. So that's a plus Is definitely like the week before my cycle, but This is just like a really hard week anyways If you guys have followed along with my content for like The past two years you guys would know that two years ago. We lost my step brother. I'm not trying to make this like a really depressing clip, but it's just like I don't know. I feel like it's also like reality It was two years ago this week like a few days ago Also on top of that on way lighter Events happening. I feel like, you know, I've talked about pd Recently in vlogmas, but it's just been not great But like my stuff that I've been using because actually made it a little bit better But I have always found myself like The week before my cycle like all the sudden like really comparing myself and I don't feel like Comparison was something that I really really struggled with and I really honestly think it's more so accredited to like my emotions on pdd Um than anything I don't know. I just like ever since last night. I'm like, maybe like I'm boring or like my stuff isn't good enough or like no one likes Blah blah blah or like I don't have a future in this or like and like that's not thoughts that I normally have like just normal Kinsey has I don't really Super struggle with comparison or anything like that. I've always been pretty good at Just not comparing myself and like running my own race, but It's just the emotions that are brought with this that is like so horrible I wasn't even gonna film for the next two hours. I don't even know if I'll keep this in But it's just hard sometimes and I think especially in vlogmas when I like love christmas It's still my favorite time of the year even though, you know, it's harder now, but it just really sucks I don't know It's just at the same time the holidays can be really hard for people And like this time of year can like bring out loneliness and you know If you're grieving and things like that and then also just like comparing myself on top of that like I don't know. I'm like I'm 23. I don't really leave my house like None of this is like great. My stuff isn't doing great people don't like it like whatever it is So, um, I have a lot of work that I unfortunately have to do right now I have to send in my podcast stuff. So I'm gonna get myself together get this stuff done I have some coming over in an hour To replace my fans. So that is a good thing because we know how much I hate these fans I think he can do it. He's the guy who normally comes to work at my house and he told me he could do it last time But either way, there's also a few things in my bathroom that I'm just gonna get Swapped out and fix. I love you guys. Okay guys. I'm actually feeling a lot better now Today's video is sponsored by princess poly. So thank you guys so much. It's my absolute favorite store I'm gonna try on all the pieces for you guys I will have my discount code on the screen if you guys want to shop anything You guys will get 20 off this package came in last night and I immediately went through it And I am just so excited to literally live in everything that I got two pieces Like I said are from princess poly and I just think they are so cute. They're so cozy this little zip up Jacket, it's perfect for this everyday wear And then I also love these pants. I just needed like really cute ribbed gray fitted pants I've ordered a few online, but they are taking a long time to come in due to cobit So I love these they're really really affordable too. I find pants like this can get really pricey And these are really affordable and also just like so comfortable I also got this top, which I think will be really cute to wear it with jeans And maybe some boots a nice coat, you know, I love this look. It's so cozy very Cameron Diaz All right, so this jacket I love and what's really cool about this like zip up jacket, which I would actually style in a really cute way or even just throw on over My workout clothes, but it's like a little waffle knit. Is that what that's called? I think I don't know the texture of it is just so different than normal jackets that I see And it's just really cozy. I love again. It would even look really cute with denim But I feel like I'll just wear this in so many different ways All right, I got this top too, which is really a wild top for me But I just thought it was so cute I wouldn't like necessarily pair it with these pants, but I do really like the look of it And I think it's fine. I'll probably wear it more in the springtime But I think it's cute I had to get these pants because they're just like nice little beige pants, which I love But they have that little asymmetrical Like button situation here that I love so much and my favorite jeans that are also from francis poly It's a really affordable way to wear this trend There are some brands that sell these pants for like 400 dollars or you can go to francis poly All right guys So the first thing I have this top, which I got to layer under like a big croonet I actually completely copied the model's outfit idea off the website I think I totally forgot to check out with the black sweater But I'm sure I have one that I can make work Basically she was wearing this with some boots and then like an oversized sweater and it was really cute So I'm excited also these tops are just really really nice to have because you can wear them in every single season Then I have these jeans which Honestly, I probably would have sized down a size just because these are a little bit big on me But they're meant to have that like very slouchy Look I would pair them with some boots probably But they're really comfortable. It's like they still fit for sure, but they're just not Super fitted around the waist so it really depends on the fit you want If you want them to just be like super super baggy Stay true to size But if you want them to like fit around your waist a little bit better, maybe size down I got this just like classic little black dress just because you can really never have enough And even though I'm probably not gonna have anywhere to wear this to For a long time I had to get it because it was like ruched Around the stomach I don't know if you guys can tell but this is just always the most flattering This is one of those dresses that's perfect for the holidays. Um, I again I'm not gonna have anywhere to wear this to but I wanted to get it anyways just in case because I thought it was so Cute it's really soft. I think the color is just like absolutely perfect Like obviously you'd wear this with heels. So this is probably my favorite It's a little cozy like lounging working from home Tight upset you can mix and match these with everything but the sweater is incredible quality I just think this is so cute and it was a really good price too when I see these things I find them to be really expensive Then I got a pair of socks for sneakers and this cute little spa set that has some scrunchies a little head wrap And some berets to hold your hair back when you do your skincare. So that's a really really good gift Oh, yeah, and then I have this jacket, which is really really cute. I love how it's cropped again jeans and boots such an easy outfit But like literally so cute also very warm it's a much cuter version of The teddy coats that were in in the past few years like this one technically kind of is but she's a lot more stylish So I love this I just ordered some topstrop So good. I always get the tie coconut chicken bowl It is incredible. I got this off door-to-ash. So if you guys want to use my door-to-ash code You guys get money towards basically a free meal being delivered to your house All right. So on the agenda for today, we have The fans hopefully being replaced. I'm pretty sure he can do it like this right here It will be this new like more black modern set this bathroom Is just like the biggest mess. I don't even do anything with it. I have two more door knobs um to replace because They're not all new like that like I needed two more I didn't order enough the first time and then this is like a bathroom accessory set So again, it's the same sort of deal with just switching out the hardware in my bathroom Another thing I'm doing for some self-care is having some Booge pop which I normally would do like a wine glass, but I'm using this stela glass I love these they sent them to me and it was just so kind of them and I have some booge pop This is a move. It's a prebiotic, right? I think I have the founder of healthy it actually on my podcast. You guys should go listen to that But this is just one of my favorite treats I just love like drinks. I've always been that way I'm gonna turn on some youtube videos get cleaning. Hopefully my guy will be here very soon. He's so nice He's done so many other things on my house before All right guys, I have showered my video is finally uploading I feel I feel so much better. I made myself some iced coffee My house is being worked on. I think I need to start cooking in like two hours probably And I'm gonna put some vlogmas on for the time being showing you a little before my bathroom I really really don't like this bathroom. I'm so grateful for my house But it's just like really not my style and I don't think it's worth it to like redo it But I want like I really really want to so I'm just making small changes like this. I'm getting changed um This door knob I was supposed to get switched out when I got these new door knobs, but I didn't have enough so All right guys. Well, look at how much better it looks Okay, I'm gonna start cooking dinner But I'm gonna make my tortellini. Well, it's not mine. I got the recipe from a modern proper. I make it honestly like Two or three times a month probably but it's the tying and sausage tortellini kale soup and it is so good It is everyone's favorite thing that I make so I'm gonna make that now if you guys want the recipe I have an instagram rail up with it Okay guys it's hours later my new fan. This is seriously So exciting. I cannot even describe it and then you go to the bathroom So this is gonna have to be fixed here. It looks so much better Same thing gonna have to be fixed around but looks So much better. Look at my beautiful tree here Going upstairs All right guys. Oh, there's this Okay, so this is Dom's bathroom We've got some hardware going on here Then this is nothing crazy, but this has been replaced to match Hello Moving in here the fan guys. It looks so much better. Like are you kidding? Oh my gosh So much better.  Honestly my goth there. It's just that place that I really don't like I ordered new lighting for my entire house including this and I haven't come in So I have no idea when that's coming in and I need to replace these mirrors My mom is like so anti these mirrors, which I agree now So I just have to figure it out, but yeah new lights New situations.

Definitely is better now Hope you guys enjoyed today's vlog and I will see you guys tomorrow for an even better one And I will talk to you guys tomorrow. Okay. Bye


In this September 11th, Aaron Boone spent time earlier talking about where he was when he heard about the attacks 19 years ago. I was in Chicago with the Reds, we're getting ready to play the Cubs. I was actually up fairly early by baseball standards that morning. I was actually on a phone call. I had to call my buddy, it was about something and I was, you know, he interrupted me real quick into whatever we were talking about and said, I think you should turn on the TV.  One of those moments you certainly remember where you were the first time, you know, starting to see some of the images. I remember being in Chicago and just all the sort of panic that went with it and what's next and, you know, being in a big city was something coming to Chicago. And then I remember we ended up finally busing back to Cincinnati a couple days later after the shutdown and then, you know, obviously finishing up the season. And of course, you know, what stands out is obviously the amazing World Series that year. You know, but also the Mets and the Braves game first day back. How emotional that was for not just the city of New York, but I think our entire nation.


Hello, good morning. Terry asked me to briefly mention some of the tumors that we discussed in June and speak only about one, although in the small group sessions we may speak about all of them. Always show my favorite slide, that we're a little slow, 4,600 years old. And in June, what I spoke about with Mark was MSI analysis and mismatch repair protein, even though his took chemistry for systematic screening of LYNS syndrome in all resected colorectal cancers on our main campus. And the uptake is exceedingly good, at least 80% make it to genetics clinics. We also spoke about a slower implementation of the same types of analysis for LYNS syndrome screening for all endometrial cancers, because it is a component. The uptake's a little less 64%. And there are challenges, including, unlike colon, many different pathology labs doing it. This will probably be solved when everything will be sent into our central lab. We also discussed the integration of genetic countsness in now over 25 non-genetic specialty clinics on our main campus and the regional practice. And a prototype of a family-enter cancer family history tool. Today, Kate Nathanson from Penn and I are gonna speak about routine screening for heritable neuroendocrine tumors. And we will look at fulcrum acytoma. We could have picked medullary thyroid cancer, but this one's slightly more exciting, as our prototype. So fuels come from the adrenal medulla, and that means they're from neurocrest. So neuroendocrine tumors in general come from neurocrest. This one, in particular, can secrete catecholamines, and I don't think I have to tell this group that if it's not recognized, bad things happen. This is just a picture, an MRI, to show those who don't quite know where the adrenals are. And that's an axial view, and that's the big purple arrow. Now periganglia can be anywhere, so they're along the periganglia chain and can be sympathetic or parasympathetic. So this one happens to be in the thorax. Now we learned in med school the famous 10% rule. 10% are genetic or heritable, 10% are bilateral, 10% are malignant. Now we thought this was gospel until we started, meaning the world of we started looking into it and the first genes appeared, and does it really matter? Well, so much for the 10% rule, so let me tell you. To fast forward, a lot of work, probably over the last 10 to 15 years, many consortia, and we have a population-based registry, show that up to 30%, sometimes more of all fields and periganglia presentations have a genetic etiology, and those are some, but not all of the known genes. So many genes, neuroendocrine tumors. So in theory, this is the ideal when you go through a germline mutation analysis. I've added in all the genes, they're actually 10. I didn't even put NF1 because we have found that in the presence of, that NF1 fields do not present unless they have physical stick length of which hopefully we can actually recognize. And every gene has other features, other tumors, or different presentations. For example, let's say SDHB. There is a high malignancy rate depending who you believe between 14 and 30%, whereas in some of the other malignancies rarely ever seen. For rat, you have to worry about medullary thyroid cancer, and so on and so forth, VHL, renal tumors. SDHB and D, they are renal tumors. So it does affect management. Well, what have we done? We have admitted genetic counselors in endocrinology and endocrine surgery clinics. In the literature, so that's all we've done, PEN has PEN NETs with a little bit more systematic. In the literature, SDHB immunohesity chemistry is said to be able to pick up those with germline SDHB, C, and D mutations, but not in the other syndromes that I showed you. A recent paper also showed this might be true for SDHA. This is routinely implemented at PEN NET, and Kate tells me that their uptake is very, very good. However, our clinical pathologists, why not slouches, get very inconsistent results. So if you ask them to read SDHB staining, it's all over the place. It's not correlated with any germline mutation. When we do Western blots and I give it to my lab to read it blindly, it can't predict presence of Epsom, but this needs to be worked out. It looks like a very reasonable screening tool. And so with that, I will start well within my time. Eight minutes. Nope, we speak on each and every half. Please add in. Can you increase it from 60% to 95%? So we're, this is actually inherited mutations. Right. So we have not gone back and re-sequenced the tumor. There are actually several issues about them. I'm sorry, there's several, Karis can talk about what her experience is. So this is actually something that we're in the process of doing. We've actually got funding to do this, but the PGLs actually tend to get embolized before they get removed, so that it can be very difficult to actually get decent tissue out to do them. And then the Pheos obviously can be relatively small or problematic, but actually, at least at Penn, we're in the process of collecting fresh frozen tissue. There are some studies, Karis may talk about that, that have shown these mutations in otherwise barat, somatic mutations in otherwise germline, negative patients. Correct. All of them, I'm not sure. I guess your question is, can we use somatic sequencing to enhance the positively in the germline? One of it's obviously technical issues, and we have that too. And poking Pheos with a fine needle, of course it's not a good idea, if surgeons hate that. We also worry about somatic mutations, although I have to admit, we have looked at that with my collaborator, Hunmut Neumann, and the somatic mutation frequency, meaning truly a second somatic hit, is variable, so it could infect fool, as is the somatic or germline. This is also a complicated area, just to point out, because the issue of some of these mutations are imprinted, and nobody's actually been ever been able to figure out what the imprinted tissue is. So they clearly only affects its ability when inherited from the father, but no one's determined what the tissue is that's infecting that. And so it's a complicated sort of somatic issue. And that's SDHD, especially. And AIC, because they are in the same imprinting, and that's a very neat little paper in HMG. So can I ask both of you to maybe describe, and I should have asked this and we'll ask it of all the speakers in this session, could you describe what the collaborative opportunities might be for those around the table and in the room, in terms of maybe expanding or building on your work? Yeah, so Kate and I, Matt, Kalki and the father have started talking offline before this, so we thought that we need to bring it to a group because these are not exactly common tumors. We talk as broadly as forming a net net N-A-T-N-E-T, for things like this are the quick rapid screens, like screening for germline syndromes, studying the uptake all the way, all the way to treatment consortia, because this has been an amazing field from nobody cared about it, to we know all these molecular pathways and lots of pathway directed therapy coming up, and might I say for people with germline disease, we really should be thinking of prevention. And I think actually there are a lot of concoctions, Matt, Murray and I actually also as part of this and put together a group to A-C-M-G to develop genetic testing guidelines for these patients, there are no published genetic testing guidelines, there are no surveillance guidelines for patients at risk, and actually one of the issues that we run into, and I'm sure both of you run into, is how do you manage these patients after the diagnosis, should it be the same for the different mutations? So I think there are a lot of opportunities to develop sort of best practice guidelines here in many different venues, and I think what Karris is emphasizing is also multi-institutional targeted therapy trials for patients with metastatic disease, particularly as many of them have inherited mutations. The other thing that I just mentioned that directly raises the surveillance piece is that Josh Schiffman at Primary Children's Hospital in the Huntsman Cancer Institute has in fact instituted a surveillance protocol, particularly for the Paragane Leoma families, and preliminary results are very encouraging that in fact there's a high degree of preventability, which is another one of those gospel axioms that you can't do anything about it that appears to be about to get an X through it. So I think that that would be definitely something that needs to be considered in the overall consortium approach, and would be a likely collaborative. I agree, and that's something that Karris and I have certainly talked about, and I think the other thing that I know Josh has done is the issue of implementation of rapid full body MR as a screening toll for patients with these diseases. And that's actually something that is very hard to get paid for because of the CPT codes, and something that's actually much quicker, much less, shall we say, invasive, and should be, is in fact cheaper than with the standard screening that we employ. And so I think there are a lot of venues to really translate this and different avenues which larger groups are needed to be able to move this forward. And of course, underlying all this is rarely said, is that we would like to study the cost, true cost effectiveness as well. Something you guys are very, very good at.


We have coin joints now. We have quite a few implementations of coin joints. Can you explain to us how the coin joints will make their business model irrelevant, and how they won't make any sense pretty much? Thanks. Thank you so much. Coin join isn't really a specific technology. It's a model for doing multi-party transactions. So in cryptocurrencies that use a transaction coin model, or UTXO model, like Bitcoin and many of its variants, you can do a transaction that is a multi-party transaction. A transaction is not from two, with a single party from and a single party to. A transaction has inputs and outputs in crypto, like Bitcoin. And what that means is the inputs which are each signed independently, and the outputs which are each delivered independently don't have to belong to the same people. So imagine as if you write 20 blank checks that are signed by 20 people who control that money.  And everybody can make sure that the person they wanted to be paid is paid. But eventually you can't tell who paid who, or who was even participating. That's called a coin join. There are a number of different technical implementations for a coin join that allow parties to collaborate. The greatest, largest coin join happened two days ago. It had a hundred participants, so a hundred people paying in, a hundred payouts. And these kinds of things, because of the architecture of the system fundamentally undermine the attempts at analytics, but not enough. Because you can still do statistical analysis on these in order to connect one of these transactions to the KYC endpoint of an exchange, which is a big source of surveillance data, and use that to de-anonymize participants and payments. So coin join isn't enough. And in fact, the European Union has now said that participating in a coin join is illegal.  They've already been called illegals. They've been called illegal people. So if illegal people commit illegal acts, whatever, what are they going to be? Double illegal? When an act like that is the difference between you feeding your children or not, then the law is immoral itself. And I'm not encouraging people to break the law. I'm encouraging people to achieve justice by the means they have at their disposal. Coin join is not enough because we also need to obfuscate the amounts of payments. And that is an entire area of science called zero-knowledge proofs and range proofs, confidential transactions where the actual value of the payment is encrypted. So you can't see how much money is being transferred, which breaks the statistical analysis even further. But in order for these tools to be effective at providing people the universal privacy that we have with cash, which for thousands of years gave people the freedom to transact and apparently did not result in the end of civilization, we need to go further. We need to have these tools on by default in every wallet. And so in some countries, that's going to be made illegal. And those countries are going to rob their own citizens of the basic elements of financial privacy, which is a human right, in my opinion. But they're also going to do is remove themselves from the innovation train of this technology. You can't remove crypto from your country. But you can't remove your country from crypto. And so many of our governments are trying to do exactly that. Don't worry, there's plenty of people in the world who need it and will not pay attention to any silly law, their corrupt governments pass. So coin join, I think only 4% of coins are held in UTXOs that have been obfuscated. And the last answer you mentioned that the regulations would happen on the margins on these on and off ramps. But now we have fat foot coming trying to impose the travel rule on these yes on and off ramps and 20% of coins are held just in Zappo Coinbase Crack in Binance. That's not really the margins. It seems to me that there is an immediate threat of kind of a bifurcation of the network, which has been discussed for years, but seems to be coming at us quite quickly. How do you think that might play out in the coming months or years? Financial privacy underpins the right to freedom of expression, freedom of association, freedom of the vote, freedom of assembly. Because without those basic financial privacy rights, if everything you do can be tracked through your payments, your purchases, then all of your associations and all of your expression and all of your acts of freedom can then be punished after the fact severely enough to deter anyone from exercising those freedoms. We've got to think about two aspects of restraint. One is a priori restraint, right, which is explicitly prohibited in, for example, the US Constitution. And of course in the British Constitution, oh, sorry, tough point there, you don't have one. And so a priori restraint is only one part of the picture because expo's facto restraints through chilling effects is just as important. We have a situation in crypto today where privacy hasn't been given sufficient importance. And that's a very dangerous path. I believe that the biggest step we need to make in terms of development in Bitcoin, for example, is better privacy. And we see a lot of experiments happening right now, including zero-knowledge proofs and range proofs that could lead us to higher degrees of privacy. The next few proposed improvements to the Bitcoin protocol actually involve very privacy-centric improvements, and I'm very glad to see that. But the other thing you've got to realize is that one of the elements of engineering that is almost always true is you don't optimize for a problem that doesn't exist yet. And the problem here is that the erosion of privacy and the ability to do statistical analysis isn't visible to the average user. It doesn't affect them to lose their financial privacy because most of them already have financial privilege and they already have very little financial privacy and they're not being actively persecuted. All we're looking for is a couple of direct attacks against people who have lost their financial privacy that way. And what you're going to see is an enormous immune response by the entire crypto space. And it will start developing privacy features faster than you can imagine. We already saw this in the peer-to-peer space with the evolution of Napster. Napster was the friendly cuddly bearer of peer-to-peer file sharing. It was the one that wanted desperately to make a deal with the music industry. But they said no, and they shut it down. So Nutella popped up and they shut it down. So LimeWire popped up and they shut it down. So BitTorrent popped up and they can't shut it down. They evolved decentralization by creating exactly the kind of hostile stimulus than a directed evolution technology that can move and mutate fast enough by the most creative and determined people who you can't hire because they're not interested in money. When that arms race, by evolving and mutating that technology until it can resist the attack, Nicholas Nassim Taleb calls these systems anti-fragile. There are systems that not only resist attack, but in the process of being attacked, evolve strength and become more and more robust. The internet is an anti-fragile system and open blockchains are anti-fragile systems. I'm not worried. We already have privacy-centric blockchains, and those blockchains are leading the path in terms of research in order to help us adopt these in a more generic way across the board. We've learned the lesson of the internet. The internet had insufficient encryption and privacy, and that gave a lot of governments the opportunity to co-opt our information. Hopefully we will not repeat that mistake. And so here's my little prediction. Bitcoin is the cuddly little gecko of cryptocurrencies. If they try to stomp on the cuddly little gecko, it will start evolving. It will start evading. It will become stealthier. It will grow teeth and nails. And one day it will become, or something very much like it, or something that simply has the name, but none of the original characteristics will become the komodo dragon of cryptocurrencies.  Now, do we want to play with the cuddly cryptocurrencies by accepting that in free and open societies, the ability of people to transact freely and with privacy should be celebrated as a fundamental human right that protects our freedoms, our democracy, our ability to express ourselves? Or should we be so paralyzed by fear that in order to stop a few bad actors, we engage not only in collective punishment of the innocent, but we then give the levers of totalitarian surveillance to the few who will abuse them. Let the little gecko do its thing. It will bring freedom to the world. It will actually solve many of the problems we have today that we've created through financial inclusion, or exclusion.


Oh, hi, welcome to my school house What is up you guys realistic gaming here today? We are back on the scary school in roblox. Oh my god What is you doing Emily and as we can see Emily is down here chasing people with a knife? Oh my god, you're not supposed to bring knives to school Emily. I don't know what's wrong with you. Oh my god Okay, she's definitely crazy. Yo, dude. She is like floating everywhere. Oh No, I'm out of here, man. I do not want to get killed by that crazy girl Oh god, all right, so we haven't played this game in a long time Let's go have a look to see if they thought they did only expanding chairs They used to be my favorite part about school spinning in the chair. You see guys. This is what I call living the life Oh my god, Emily's right here. Dude chill out, Emily. I'm out of here bad All right, so let's go have a look around to see if they've updated like the classrooms Okay, that is a lot of numbers that my head's about to blow up so I'm out of here I'll see you later chalkboard. Oh my god. All right, dude Emily has no chill at all All right, so let's go check out the rest of guys because I heard there was like a mystery But there was a surprise in the restroom not in the toilet. I'm talking about the restroom in the stalls Okay, so let's go have a look where you guys hear that, right?  Oh my god. Her eyes are white They're rolled back all the way. Okay, that is super creepy. Oh, why should just right here singing music Bring around the Rosie girl. You need to go home and use their own restroom. All right So let's go check out the boys restroom now. Those are some giant feet. I don't think that is normal Let's go have a peek who's here? Show your face man. Oh, it's nightmare Freddy. I believe this is nightmare Freddy Do this guy is so scary-looking and he's just creeping behind the stall Like what are you doing man?  No, don't run away. I'm trying to show people that I have granny's bad and I can smack everybody Oh, look at what's got her stop running. I will catch up to you. Oh My god, okay, I don't think I will be able to get her.   All right I'm gonna show this kid some discipline because he doesn't know how to save his road bugs He just likes to spend them like crazy. Hey, come back here. I'm not finished with you Dude, why is it? Okay. Oh my god. How is he still alive? Right? Jason show yourself boy. Oh Yeah, my Jason Why is he the movie? Oh, okay, there you go. He just wanted a little hug and then he was gonna start his massacre Dude, you need to chill out. What is wrong with these people? Man, y'all need some milk to show man. Oh Jason. Don't do it, buddy That's the way we all love you man.  Okay. This man is a savage. Oh My god, I'm gonna jump on him. Let's see how he likes it. Okay, so now we're riding chase. Oh, no No, I'm stuck. Somebody help Dude, I was stuck here against the wall Jason you're such a bully man All right, so let's get out. I don't look at this. Oh my god, this poor guy looks like he was mopping the floor with himself Oh my goodness. No Okay, so she's like everybody's having a little too much fun with Jason Which we're not supposed to because we're supposed to be scared of him not jumping at him. Oh My god, okay. I'm gonna check out the classroom over here. Oh, oh my god Yeah, what's up, buddy? What's up my boy? Oh, all right. Welcome to my school house Okay, so I have no idea what Baldi's doing outside.  Like he's supposed to be in here teaching math, but he decided to go camping. Hey, oh Guys, I think he wanted to use the restroom Jason don't do it.  Oh my god All right, let's see who would get next Chasberger, I want a chance burger. Let's go visit our little friend in the toilet.  Oh My okay, so oh Shrek, let's go check out Shrek Shrek. Hey, there's Shrek. Oh What how do you get us?   They should also have like Baldi's ruler I mean they have granny's bad. Why not have the ruler man? Okay, I have 30 points. Let's go check out the shop real quick Dude, I can't all I can afford is a chance burger. This is pretty sad, but okay. I won't buy it because I'm hungry All right, just burger for the win you guys Okay, let's beat up this guy. It seems like he needs help. All right, man. I'll help you out. Don't worry I'll help you reset real quick All right, there you go, man. Thank you later. All right. Yeah.  Oh, hey, what happened to the other half of your face Shrek? What is he doing? I think he's trying to learn. He went in the classroom. Oh my god Oh no Shrek, last time I saw you you were this type of ogre You were friendly ogre man Just try to make him go through here. Oh my god. Look at this dude. Oh my god What happened to his teeth? Why they all sharp man? Okay, let's go help him get in stuck Shrek this way please follow me this way Shrek. I will show you the way to the cafeteria Okay, Shrek. No this way. Why don't you listen? No dude, who's pushing me? Shrek, please follow me Okay, see you like Shrek doesn't know how to follow instructions you guys if that guy's hat Look at this dude. Yo, why is your head so small man? His head is just floating over his head. That is hilarious. Okay. I forgot what my locker was my combination I believe is this one. Oh mobo. Oh my god. Oh, no MoMo what are you doing here? I thought we left you behind It's how we left MoMo back in 2018 guys. Come on MoMo's evil Okay, MoMo you can chill out girl. You just like took out the whole school in a good manner of seconds. Oh My god, though. She's coming this way You better not come in here man because I'll break your ankle though As you broke mine Isn't that marvelous? Thank you so much MoMo. Oh My god, okay, so she is definitely quick or the coil here is really so like slow Look at this. It barely even makes a difference. Oh my god. This is a rip-off. I want a faster speed coil. I Wonder how much I paid for this. I don't know man because I feel like 200 like 300 world books with a granny back Which isn't really worth it because I don't know what I'll play this game again But whatever man, at least I had it for next time.  She wilded it out here, man. Leave my boy alone. Okay, never mind. You can chase him. Oh My god, okay. I'm out of there because she's just slaughtering everybody. Oh my god. Okay. That was so close We almost got killed by MoMo. Oh God, okay. Let's see. Oh an ultra coil When did they add an ultra coil, man? Now they want me to waste both robots on that a torch I don't think you really need a torch in this game. Who granny? Let's try to fight granny with their own baseball bat Where's granny? Granny, where are you at? Dude, where's granny at? I don't see her anywhere Guys hey, have you seen granny anywhere? Oh my god, I hear her Where is she? Show your face granny. I don't think she want to come out and play guys Where is she at? Dude, where is granny? I want her to fight her with my own baseball bat Dude, I hear this old lady. She's just playing games with us Wait, look this is oh, he's taking damage. I think granny's right here, but she's invisible. Oh I'm taking damage too. Okay. No, let me dude granny is invisible. What kind of? What is this? Huh? What kind of witchcraft is this granny? What are you up to? Okay, so now granny's invisible guys. Isn't that great? Like she wasn't already creepy and old though. She has to be invisible. She's killing everybody Granny granny's right under gore because if we go right here, we're gonna take damage out. Yes, she is Dude, what in the world is going down somebody has explained this to me Okay, you see us, but we can't see you granny. You need to chill out stop playing these games. Oh Okay, she's after me now somebody help You visible granny's to hurting me Maybe replace the cookie somewhere she'll take it and we'll put a bear trap. Oh, she disappeared Okay, so there was no way we were able to fight granny or see granny because she was invisible That made no sense. Maybe the game is just broken or maybe the model for granny is broken. Right you guys good job everybody killer clown Okay, so Pennywise came out. Oh, I can fight this dude. Oh Dude he trapped us against the door Alright, we'll say bye Baldy All right, you guys know this was the scary school of roblox. Oh my god Just waving back there. It's pretty cool how they added them there Well, thank you guys for watching. Thank you guys for the amazing support If you guys enjoyed the video, make sure to slap the like button if in the channel Make sure to subscribe and turn that notification bell on and I will see you guys in the next one. Bye


There are organizations, especially one in Boston called Family Reach that was a major participant in the moonshot run by a woman named Carla Tardiff who promised a friend of hers who was a pro football player on his deathbed that she would help other people be able to afford treatments because he realized after he got sick and was in the hospital how many people couldn't afford what he was getting. So they provide financial support for people in cancer therapy including suspending your mortgage without penalty, suspending your student loan without penalty, helping provide for your parking and your transportation to get you to the hospital. They raise millions of dollars every year so Family Reach is the first place I always refer people who need financial assistance.


This week was the final evaluation exercise for the platoon before deployment. We put them through complex training scenarios and life-fire weapons engagement drills, putting them through likely scenarios that they will find themselves and ensuring that they're able to engage accurately. The final event for their work-up should include realism and complexity and should be physically and mentally demanding, and that's what this week was about. They throw us some good scenarios for us, so we get the friction internally and from the up for as well. Any friction that we can get, the more friction we can get, the better. We know definitely what we can fix and where we can improve. There's always room for improvement. We're always training, we're always keeping ourselves busy. There's a lot of late days, but it's for a better purpose to make sure these guys are ready for whatever we can throw at them or the real life we can throw at them. We accomplished everything we wanted to this week. We had two full days of life-fire where there were complex scenarios. The platoon is ready to deploy to European command and there, though, will be forward stage as a crisis response element for that geographic combatant commander.


Corporate citizen St. Lucia Distillers Ltd has contributed to the national fight against COVID-19. Harris Homer De Mark with the details. The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs has welcomed the donation of 686 pulse oximeters to bolster St. Lucia's fight against COVID-19. The device measures oxygen saturation levels in the blood and can detect even small changes in oxygen levels. In the donation facilitated by the Consulate General of St. Lucia, St. Lucia Distillers provided 500 oximeters. 100 were provided by a French company and 86 by private citizens in Martinique. Minister for Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs, Hon. Moses Shabbat has expressed immense gratitude to the donors for their contribution to the fight against COVID-19 in St. Lucia. I wish at this time to indicate that this is a very timely gesture as we continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. And St. Lucia Distillers, I understand even way before my term as Minister, has been a very valuable partner in this fight as a private sector entity. So I wish to thank St. Lucia Distillers, thank Mr. Loic Leger and I want to ask both of them to express our thanks to the staff of the company and also to the shareholders and to the people of Martinique in general. As you know the people of Martinique and even the people of France, the French people on the whole have been very good to us and they have worked with us over the years to ensure that we have quality healthcare in St. Lucia. Chief Executive Officer of St. Lucia Distillers, Margaret Montplaisy expressed the company's elation to assist in bolstering St. Lucia's health efforts. The call came from Joanna Salton, a consulate in Martinique. She got through to our head office and Mr. Bernard Hayot, our shareholder, said absolutely we need to do this. We had previously given I think a hundred thousand masks and he came on board and said, nope, this has to be done, you need oximeters in St. Lucia, we need to get them, we need to make it happen. Like got the call and we had no choice but to respond. So here we are today, but it is indeed a pleasure. I'm so happy we were able to make this small contribution and to be part of this donation here today and hopefully these oximeters will be put to good use and help save lives and livelihoods as the ministry always say. So thank you everybody and we hope to continue doing our parts in this fight against COVID. The donation of the plus oximeters received by the Ministry of Health amounts to over Euro seven thousand dollars from the Government Information Service. Humadi Mark reporting.


What's going on? I am Greg Sussman. Please be joined today by Davis Maddox of SportsGrid as we take a look at the greatest tournament of the year. The master is a tradition like any other. What's going on, Davis? Very, very excited for the masters. We've been waiting for this basically since the worldwide pandemic started. We were like, look, we don't care what happens to golf, but we we just gotta get the masters in in some degree and we're here. It's in November. I actually expect that the course is going to play a little bit different because it is November and but mostly I'm just very excited to to see Augusta National Golf Club on my TV again. It's weird, man. It's it's November. The times are all wrong, but it's still it's special because it is the masters and it is Augusta. It's Amon's corner. It's the whole deal. It's Jim Nance talking to me in in silence rather than screaming with Tony Romo. I'm excited. I'm excited. So, let's get to your top vets here of the weekend and sure everyone loves Bryce and Dishambo this weekend. People want to get back in on Tiger Woods to defend his crown, but your favorite bet is the same name that Jim Nance gave us on Friday and that is Patrick Cantley over the fan of sportsbook. You can get him at plus twenty five hundred at the moment. Why is Cantley your favorite here at Augusta? So, one of the things that I think is really helpful with golf is to just have long term priors that you attach to guys, right? So, you know, people who've been watching the fan will hurry up for years now of you and I've done it, have known Cantley's been a name that I've thrown out there. I don't know, you know, fifty times over the course of the last couple of years or whatever because I think he's a great golfer. I think that he has one of the best off the tee games in the field. The part where he really struggles is going to be, you know, kind of a short game and his putting, but I think that his distance and his iron play can really make up for that at this event. He has performed well at Augusta National in his starts there and I think twenty five to one just seems a little too short if I was doing the pricing. I think eighteen to one, you know, sounds about right and you did mention Bryson there and I just I just wanted to get this one out of the way. Don't bet Bryson at like six to one or whatever he's at at the fan dual sportsbook right now, but if you do really like Bryson in the head to head betting markets, you can get Bryson at plus money against guys like Brooks Kepka and Dustin Johnson and that would be the way that I would bet Bryson this weekend if you wanted to get money down on him. Betting Bryson to win this tournament. That's not where you're going to make the money. Isn't these heads had matchups with the top player who has the best odds betting wise to win. It's Patrick Cantland here at plus twenty five hundred twenty five to one. You're getting at him getting him at and he's a better player than that. You should have a better number than that. So let's take advantage this weekend at the fan dual sportsbook up next a little bit higher at thirty five to one. You're getting Colin Moricala at the fan dual sportsbook. Moricala has played well in the past in why is this weekend the week where he's going to finally break through and win the green jacket. So Moricala again a guy that I just think the the numbers seem off. I mean this is a guy who has basically since he started on the PGA tour. I think it would not be a stretch to say he's been one of the 10 best golfers period. He has an absolutely impeccable tee to green game. He's actually better with his wedges than most young golfers. You know kind of the the trend that we have seen is a lot of the young guys on the PGA tour right now their wedge plays the worst part of their game. But that's not even really true with Moricala. He basically is just rock solid at everything. You know he had that 22 made cut streak to start his career. He's already won a major championship at this very young age. I don't think that this is a guy who is going to be you know scared under the bright lights of Augusta National basically. Like I don't think that this moment is going to be too big for him. And when I look at a lot of the other guys that are higher than Moricala we have guys like Terrell Haddon and Webb Simpson who are really priced up there. I think that Moricala is just clearly better than those guys. I think that his his all around game is just better. And so at 35 to 1 I just think this is a fantastic price. Again it's the price that really stands out for Colin Moricala here. Especially compared to the other players that he is around as Davis mentioned Moricala just played really really well. This price at 35 to 1 it's too much. Let's take advantage as Moricala could be the man that wins his first green jacket on Sunday. One final name to get to and it's an old veteran that's been here before. It's Adam Scott. He's 50 to 1 and I know a lot of people that actually like Adam Scott quite a bit here this weekend at Augusta. Why are people back in on the veteran. So you know that can't land Moricala. These are young guys right. These are these are young crushers on the tour. Adam Scott is just a guy I absolutely refuse to quit right. He is not a good putter. His short game is not tremendous. But Adam Scott I think could be in the top 10 on tour and strokes gain T degree and I like the age of 42. I think that his swing is so beautiful and so pure that it'll just never leave him. And right when we came into the show I mentioned that I think that the course is going to play a little bit different here in the different temperatures. Obviously it's going to be a little bit colder. The grass is going to be a little bit of a different shape. And I think that will probably benefit guys like Adam Scott whose strength is not putting. But you know he's just going to gain all of his strokes off the tee and and with his long irons which is really the same as can't land Moricala. But Scott is just kind of a cheaper version of that archetype of golfer. So Adam Scott I I really like his price and I think that on Fandall sportsbook you've actually gotten a discount on him since I sent this list over to you. I believe that he can now be had at 55 to one which again is still a tremendous price. Price is going the right way for us. More of an opportunity to bank in on Adam Scott who's similar as you said to Patrick Cantley and Conor Moricala. She's a little bit older. Veteran Weiser been here before and now just needs to push through and with the green jacket this weekend. He could do it if some of those putts drop or he hits it like John John round into the water and finds his way into the hole. That's going to be for us here on the Fandall area. Damien this has been a blast. I am excited. I'm ready to wake up early on Thursday morning and watch some golf. So ready and you know don't forget we have on the master's app. You are going to be able to watch every shot from your dudes this week. It's going to be you know just the best and most immersive week in golf. So head on over to the Fandall sportsbook and get those numbers bet. Whether you're playing DFS, whether you're at the sports book it's going to be a fun one at Augusta. For Davis Maddock I'm Greg Sosme. Join us tomorrow where Tom Becky will join me as we take a look at his top value plays in DFS for week 10 of this NFL season. Have a great night. Enjoy the masters and we'll see you back here tomorrow for another edition of the Fandall area.


This is The Man in Black, here again to introduce Columbia's program, Suspense. Our distinguished star this evening is the stage and screen favorite, Mr. Paul Lucas, whose performance is in The Lady Vanishes and in the stage production The Watch on the Rhine, you will recall with pleasure. Tonight's tale of suspense is a story by John Dickson Carr, fire, burn and cold and bubbled. If you've been with us on these Tuesday nights, you will know that suspense is compounded with mystery and suspicion and dangerous adventure. In this series, our tales calculated to intrigue you, to stir your nerves, to offer you a precarious situation and then withhold the solution until the last possible moment. And so with fire, burn and cold and bubbled and the performance of Paul Lucas and the other members of our company, we again hope to keep you in. The Rhine Theater presents the distinguished American actor, Myron Willard in Shakespeare's Macbeth, with magic effects especially designed by Ludwig von Arnheim, a relic of old London. On this site in the cramped and crooked lanes of Ulwich, there has been a playhouse since Nell Gwynn sold oranges in the pit. The present theater, though modernized, is heavy and darkened with time. My daylight, it is a dinginess of red-plushed seats, haunted by old ghosts. But at night, when the lights bloom for some new production, when the murmur of a crowd fills the carpeted aisle, the orchestra begins to tune up. It is kindled with that strange magic before the rise of the curtain. What's it's way, sir? E-12-11-13 program? Stockings? Thank you. No, madam, this is Rowe, your seat for G-14. At the stage where nerves crawl and there is a tendency to scream, the three witches of the play are huddled around the people in the curtain, looking out into the audience. They are hideous-looking creatures, these witches, in gray rags like cobwebs. But as they speak... Dear, I am scared. Don't let it bother you, darling. You can't even see the audience when the floats are on. There's nothing to worry about. Nothing except the size of the take at the box office. You won't even have to worry about that tonight. Look out there. You two are as shaking as much as I am. Now, don't pretend. All right, all right. Everybody's jumpy on first night. What I can't understand is why they want to use young girls as witches, and then make us talk in cracked voices as though we were 80. Double, double, toil and travel. Fire, burn and call. Dear darling, it's only one of the ghosts of it. You've been hearing it for weeks at rehearsal. I will say this for Martin Willard as an actor and a manager, too. He's the first one who's ever had a real professional magician to do the ghost effects of this ham show. Oh, are they serious? Look there. Where? Out in the audience in the second half of box on the left-hand side.  Yes, I can see her. Not a bad-looking bit of good for her age. What about her? But that's Marcia Blair. Marcia Blair? You don't mean you've never heard of her? I can't say I have either if it comes to that. Move over, Ivy. Give us a squint. Marcia Blair used to be Mr. Willard's leading lady. She was a very great actress 15 years ago. Oh, 15 years ago. She's had a terribly romantic history, where she's made lots of money and retired from the stage. Then she married some horrible no-good. Do you see that tall grey-haired man standing beside her? Well, he doesn't look much like a no-good. That's not the man I mean, Celia. That's Howard White, her second husband. Oh. They say he loved her for years and followed her about and practically worshipped her. But she was married to this no-good and wouldn't get a divorce. Then the no-good died, I suppose. So Marcia Blair and her faithful Howard got married. Yes. I remember reading in the paper that they'd been married one year tonight. I-I expect they're very happy. Well, I'd be happy too if I had a mink coat and a string of pearls like that. Well, you've got to admit she's beautiful. All right, Katie, if you say so. I used to go and see her act when I was a little girl. She-she was kind of an idol. I wonder what they're saying to each other up in that box now. I wonder what they're saying. I wish you wouldn't be so uneasy. Nothing can happen to you here. You're uneasy yourself, Howard? Yes, I suppose I am a little. Howard, I know I shouldn't be talking like this on our first anniversary, but that's what worries me. What if Barry isn't dead? What if he isn't dead? Oh, listen to me, darling. Your late husband even condemned his soul. Died in New York more than a year ago. We have proof of that. But then who wrote those letters to me? I don't know, dear.  Joke? If you marry him, Marcia, you won't be alive a year from then. Joke. But you're married to me, my dear, and you are alive. Shall I quote you something from another play, Howard? Well... The eyes of March are come. I, Caesar, but not gone. And it's still two hours. Two hours to the time we were actually married. Oh, look here, dear. This is carrying an obsession too far. It would be just like Barry to wait until the last moment, just to make it worth. You knew him. Yes, I knew him. He was a genius. I suppose so. As a mere businessman, I never quite understood this theatrical temperament, except yours, of course. Barry was a greater actor than Myron Mullard will ever be. Barry could play anything, from a cockney to King Lear. His skill at makeup wasn't nearly good. It was terrifying. Oh, Howard, I am frightened. Suppose he's managed to get close to us tonight, and yet we can't see him. Well, the music started, Marcia. I... I shall have to go. Must you go, Howard? Really? If I break this appointment with Ferndale, dear, the deal will be called off. And since I haven't got too much backing anyway, I... All right, dear. I understand. Go ahead. Unless you wanted to come with me. And Miss Myron's opening tonight? Oh, I couldn't do that.  Of course, Howard. I know that. You're in full view of 3,000 people. Nobody could attack you. The only daughter in this box is guarded.  What could happen, dear? Nothing, of course. And I'd prefer to be alone anyway. Yes, I rather guess that. Oh, please, dear. It's just that I can't endure anybody being with me when I'm watching a great play. But that doesn't include you, darling. Then if you'll accept these, madam, in honor of our first anniversary. Oh, Howard. Well, they're lovely. Of course I'll accept them. And she has a program. But everything else you need? Yes. Yes, I think so. I'll just open the door to the passage to make sure our watchdogs are on guard. Yes, they're out there, all right. Good night, master. See you in an hour or two. Good night, Howard. And good luck. Miss Fenton, Bradley. Yes, Mr. White. Yes, sir. Anything wrong? Miss Fenton, you've been my wife's companion secretary for five or six years. Yes, Mr. White. And I've loved every minute of it.  That's right, sir. Champion of the Shoreditch Athletic Club. And in my prime, though I says it was shouldn't, there's good a man who's ever climbed through the ropes. No, you know your instructions badly. You trust me, sir. Nobody gets into this ear box tonight unless it's over my dead body.  Nothing. Please, you're as white as paper. As for you, Miss Fenton, I'm afraid it's a little awkward. I know I ought to ask you to go in and join, Marcia, but... Oh, you needn't apologize, Mr. White. I know she doesn't want company. She'll be leaning forward with her elbows on the box rail, just as she always does. She isn't merely watching a play. She's acting, Lady Macbeth. Every line, every gesture. Oh, and I don't mean to disturb her.  You trust me, sir. If... Oh, no. Anything wrong, Bradley? It is a very rummy-looking cove coming along the passage, sir, wearing a big black cloak with a red lining. Who'd that mean, Bradley? That's only her von Onheim. He's a professional magician and a scape artist. I was just wondering... Excuse me. Don't worry, Mr. White. We'll look after her. von Onheim. I see von Onheim. Now, can't snuts say I did it. Never shake the gory lux at me. I beg your pardon. And I beg yours, my friend. I was merely quoting a line from the play. You are not leaving the theater. Surely not walking out on Macbeth. I'm afraid I've got to. Oh, that's a pity, my friend. You will miss some of my best effects to say nothing of Shakespeare's when Benko's ghost appears at the table. I don't want to hear any more about ghosts, thanks. Benko's or anybody else's. I imagine you mean your wife's late husband. You've heard about it, then? Yes. Your wife has told me a good deal. She seems to think that in my profession I might have some charm or the demons or spell against ghosts. You know von Onheim in a muddled kind of way. That's what I've been wondering myself. Unfortunately, no. I am all too human. But your problem interests me and I confess it worries me. What is you? What about me? As I understand it, her first husband was a half-made American actor who later went completely mad and died in New York. His, uh... Oh, what's the word I want? Or obsession? That's it, obsession. His obsession was Marcia Blair's eyes. Yes, always her eyes They seem to hypnotize him. It is not new, you know. You'll find the same motif, the eyes of a beautiful woman all through the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Then, as I understand it, after this man's death, she began to receive a series of letters. How letters? Apparently written by him and threatening her with some rather horrible form of death if she married you. I tell you Barry Lake is dead. He can't get up out of his coffin. Oh, getting out of coffins, my friend, is not so difficult. I have done it myself. Oh, please stop joking von Onheim. You don't happen to be dead. Through. There is that small difference. Um... Is your wife here in the theater tonight? Yes. She wouldn't have come here except that it's Maron Willard's first night. We haven't seen Maron, either of us, in years. She's back there in Boxing Beach. So I hear. Uh, I was hoping, uh, that you might invite me to share the box. Look here, old man. I don't want to seem inhospitable, but she doesn't want company. Well, that's about it. Well, then walk back a little distance with me this way so that you can see the stage from the back of the dress circle. Now, the orchestra has stopped and they're ringing up in a moment. There. Look at it. Look at what? The stage man. The lights have gone out, all except the dim yellow footlights shining at the curtain. The last cough, the last murmur, the last rustle of program dies away in one vast breathing hush. The curtain goes up. It goes my arm, Van Onheim. I've got to leave. What are the stage directions? Desert place, thunder and lightning. Enter three witches. When indeed, I wonder, may be your pardon, Van Onheim. Do you speak? No, it was nothing. Newspapers for that year 1936. You may read how Myron Willard triumphed at Rory Lane's Macbeth. But tonight, as the clock ticks on, there is another drama in a dimly lighted corridor outside Box D. There sits Miss Louise Fenton, Marcia Blair's companion secretary. Beside her, burly and broken-nosed is Big Jim Bradley, the ex-wrestler. And when more than half an hour has passed... There's the applause, Jim. That is the end of the first act. Yes, I hear it. Nothing's happened. And take my word for it, nothing's going to happen. Oh, she's such a likable person, Jim. And I think one of our greatest Shakespearean actresses. Well, I don't much care for the Shakespeare business, Miss. You give me a good movie with gangsters in it. That's my style. Oh, you don't understand, Jim. I've seen her as Julia, as Rosalind, as Portia, in our own drawing room without any props. I've heard of Lady Macbeth, too. You should see her eyes. Your eyes, Miss? Yes, you should see her eyes when she delivers that speech. The raven himself is horse that croaks the fatal entrance. Hey, Miss, look there. What is it? That foreign-looking cove in the black cape coming along the passage. I beg your pardon.  Yes, my name is Fenton. What is it? I am looking for Arnheim, a friend of Mr. White's. And I must see Marcia Blair at once. No, you don't, Governor. You're not going in there. Why not? Because nobody goes in there. Not if it was the king himself, the feuders. Now, listen to me, both of you. When the lights went on, I happened to be looking at box D from the other side of the theater. And I think there is something wrong. Yes. But I can't be anything wrong. Jim Bradley and I have been sitting here the whole time. Except, of course... Except when? Well, except when I went in there for a few seconds. You went in there, Miss Fenton? May I ask when that was? Well, it was after Mr. White had gone and just before the play started. I went in to ask if she wanted anything. She said she didn't, so I came out again. And Bradley's been with me all the time. Except when he went to get a drink of water at the corridor. That's just too much gosh for a time. One moment, and listen to me. Marcia Blair is leaning forward across the railing of the box. Oh, but that's nothing. Help on Arnheim. That's the way she always is.  Better be careful, Miss. It's a trick. Trick? Why not open the door and see for yourselves? Would that do any harm? No, I... I suppose it wouldn't, but... Oh, there must be some mistake. We haven't heard a sound from in there. There couldn't be anything wrong. You open the door, Miss Fenton. I'm going to old talk to this gentleman just in case. Quiet, please. Quiet. What is it, Miss? Walk in there with me, both of you. Please go carefully as though nothing were wrong. You don't want to attract attention. Now. Oh, help on Arnheim. There's blood all over her face. Yes.  Bradley? Yes, sir? Pick Miss Blair's body up and carry her out into the corridor. In another minute, we'll have the whole theatre wanting to know what's wrong. All right, sir. You win. But what about the people in the other boxes? Won't they see? They've gone down to the bar to get a drink. They won't see anything. She ain't no lightweight, the poor lady ain't. Steady does it. All the door open. That's got it. Now, close the door. Shall I put her down on the floor carefully? Yes, better do that. I never took those threats seriously. That's what I blame myself for. And if something did happen, well, I thought he'd attack her. I never thought he'd hide away across the theatre and fire a shot. And you were quite right, Miss Fenton. Marcia Blair was not shot. She... She wasn't shot. No, take a look at the wound. Oh, I can't look at it. She was stabbed.  Not a pretty death, but a quick one. Who seemed to know a lot about this governor? Perhaps I do, my friend. And perhaps I can guess a lot more. You mean somebody stood out there and threw a knife at her? Like a ready musical turn? No, I don't mean that either. There's no knife in the wound and none in the box. The murderer took it away. Took it away? Exactly. Help on Anheim, please wait. You're not saying someone climbed up from outside. Twenty or thirty feet from the floor and stabbed poor Marcia in full sight of 3,000 people? That, Miss Fenton, is what the evidence seems to indicate. But it's impossible. Yet it happens. There is Marcia Blair's body. What's that? Oh, it's the warning bell for the second act. People will be coming back here any minute. What are we going to do? Iron Willard is Macbeth. Helen Gale is Lady Macbeth. Magical effects by Ludwig Van Anheim. Very few persons knew that there is a dead woman in the theatre. But at the end of the play, it is a different story. As to cordon police, the lights are extinguished. The great theatre is dark and mumbling with echoes. See the stage now? Only the back ends are overhead lights pour down a pale blaze on two men who stand grotesquely against the background of Dunzenane Castle. One of these men is Howard White, very near collapse. The other is Myron Willard himself, still wearing his make-up, still wearing helmet and chain mail. And when Willard speaks... Howard White! Confounded, man. Can't you hear what I'm saying? Excuse me, madam. This is all almost finished. Oh, not that I'm blaming you all, man. Thank you, madam. It's traditional, you know, that Macbeth's an unlucky play. But up to the very end, I thought I'd never done better. 11 curtain calls. No, 12. How would you like my tomorrow-on-tomorrow speech? I'm sorry, madam. I'm afraid I didn't hear it. Oh, yes, poor old Marsha.  Marsha was proud of her eyes, always nearsighted as an hour old, but too vain to wear glasses. Oh, there's Van Anheim looking at us from under the castle archway. Van Anheim! Did you call me, my friend? You're rather difficult to recognize under all that Macbeth make-up. Yes, I was just thinking the same thing. Never mind that. Where are the police now?  They are using it for questioning. No reception tonight, of course. No, but I thought you might be interested in two items of information that police have just discovered. Oh, sure. We had a fairly full house tonight, I believe. Fairly full. Every seat was reserved. Reserved, yes, but not occupied. I don't follow you. One box on the ground floor, box E, to be exact, was empty. Reserved and paid for, but empty. And box E, oddly enough, was just underneath the one occupied by Marcia Blair. Oh, the same. I still don't see quite what you're... Now, our next item of information comes from an usher. And outside, I see it in the stores very close to that empty box was occupied where a very curious stranger who arrived late in the dark and slipped out again by a nearby exit a few minutes afterwards. Just a moment, Van Anheim. Are you saying this stranger climbed up and attacked Marcia in full view of the audience? No, my friend. The murderer did not approach from that direction. Then he must have reached Marcia through the door guarded by Bradley and Miss Fenton? No, not from that direction either. Unfounded, man. It must have been one way or the other. Not necessarily. Tell me how. Don't you think I've got enough troubles already without this nightmare on top of it? Half on Anheim. Half on Anheim. You must take it easy, Miss Fenton. You must not excite yourself. Have the police been... Yes. Look, you've got to help me. They won't believe me. They won't believe the young lady sure, and that's a fact. I tried to help her all I can, but there's things I can swear to and things I can't. You see, I did go into that box. Oh, just for a couple of seconds, I admit it. But no other person went in or could have got in. So they say... or at least a hinting that I killed her. But I swear I never touched her. Who was questioning you, Miss Fenton? Inspector Grimes or Sergeant Blake? Well, I'm not sure the sergeant, I think. Then I shouldn't worry, if I were you. Inspector Grimes knows better. His guest, in fact, exactly what I have guessed. You seem on rather familiar terms with the police, my friend. I am, Mr. Willard. I am. Anyone who practices escapes from handcuffs, sex, chest... And stage boxes, perhaps. Stage boxes, if you insist. Excuse me. Isn't it Inspector Grimes in the wings now? Yes, and he's nodding his head. Then I can tell you, I think, what you want to know. Well, if you do happen to know anything at your duty to speak up. Well, Marsha seems to have had some ridiculous idea that her former husband Barry Lake was still alive. Her fears weren't justified, of course. And she wasn't killed by any dead husband. I beg your pardon. Her fears were justified, though not quite in the way she believed. And she was killed by her husband. Then Barry Lake is still alive. No. Barry Lake is dead. Well, if don't mean Marsha was really killed by a goat. No. I mean she was killed by her devoted second husband. Mr. Howard White.  You only hear what they say. That's not true. It's a slanderous statement. I'll have you in court for it. Everybody knows how devoted I was to Marsha. Your devotion, my friend, was devotion to her money. And your business affairs have been shaky for a long time. That's not true, and you can't prove it. Marsha Blyre was inclined to be sure to be a little close-fisted with money. That's true anyway.  Willing to marry him, but Mr. Howard White knew he'd never touch a penny unless he killed her. He wrote the letters himself. Help one on him. He can't be guilty. She was alive after he left the box. He wasn't anywhere near her when she died. Perfectly correct, Miss Stanton. He wasn't there, and yet he killed her. Exactly. But you and Bradley can supply the clue that will hang him. Me, sir, I don't know nothing. No, I don't either. I think you do, if you'll put your mind to it. Do you remember what Howard White said to her just before he left the box? Yes, he said, Good night, Marsha. See you in an hour or two. And she answered, good night and good luck. No, I mean just before that. I... there wasn't anything. You see, it's a slanderous statement without any proof. It's an insult to my position on the stock exchange. Wait, I do remember something rather queer. Think, Miss Stanton, think. He said to Marsha jokingly, if you'll accept these, madam, in honor of our first anniversary. And Marsha said, Howard, they're lovely, of course I'll accept them. That's right, sure he did say it. And what do you think he was referring to, Miss Fenton? What was he asking her to accept? Well, I, naturally, it was flowers. A corsage or something like that. Did you see any flowers in the box or pinned to Marsha Blair's gown? No. I've come to think of it, I didn't. Then what did he give her? Don't look at me, sir. Now, here is a woman who is very near sighted. Yet refuses to wear glasses. But she can accept a pair of... Opera glasses. Miss, you can't prove it. No, you better stay here. Thank you, Bradley, but the place is surrounded with police. But I still don't understand. Now, what happens when you lift opera glasses to your eyes and they are not in focus? You turn the little wheel in the middle to bring them into focus. For Marsha Blair, it was deadly. You mean that the glasses had... Yes, they were specially constructed glasses, Miss Fenton. They were invented by a French criminal years ago.  It releases the spring of a sharp, thin blade and breaks through the eyes into the brain. Oh, down, please. You can't prove it. Marsha Blair died instantly. The glasses torn from her eye by their own weight dropped over the box rail to the carpeted aisle below. The only witnesses who might have noticed would have been the people in the box just underneath. And that box was empty? By arrangement, yes. Even if anybody did see them fall, Howard White was prepared to remove the evidence instantly. You haven't forgotten the curious stranger. Curious stranger? I mean the man who slipped in after it was dark and I see just under the box and slipped out again a few minutes later. The pack of lies will start to finish. You can't prove a word of it. I beg your pardon, my friend. Didn't you see Inspector Grimes not to me a moment ago? Well, you are going to hang, my friend, for one of the neatest and cruelest crimes in my experience. The police have just found those opera glasses with a neat set of fingerprints in the side pocket of your motor car. Then so ends Fireburn and Cauldron Bubble starring the distinguished actor Paul Lucas. Tonight's tale of suspense. This is your narrator, Ted Osborne, the man in black, who conveys to you Columbia's invitation to spend this half hour in suspense with us again next Tuesday, same time when Nancy Coleman stars in fear paints a picture. William Spear, the producer, the director, Bernard Herman, the composer-conductor, Robert Salmon, studio technician, and John Dixon, car the author, collaborated on tonight's suspense. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.
