I'm Elena Taverna and I'm a research group leader in the Neuromagenomic Center at Human Technical. I'm Martina Polenghi and I'm the PhD student in Elena Taverna's group. I study how neurons themselves build the brain and also how neurons establish connection and start to speak and communicate one to each other. The focus of my research is merging cell biology tools with robotics in order to study how brain develops and I'm focusing specifically on cellular trafficking and glycogenation. I choose HT because I wanted to study and merge cell biology, that is my background with the study of human neurodevelopmental disorders and therefore HT was the right place for us all. The most important thing that I've learned so far is that having lots of collaborations is crucial for science and in HT this is possible because it's an highly terogeneous environment. I think the HT biggest strength is people, their enthusiasm and the fact that they all bring to HT different expertise, different break ground, different way of thinking. Everybody is bringing something different to the table, genomics, structural biology, stem cell biology, immunology, you name it, I think we are a very intellectually rich place. HT for me means innovation, challenges and surprises in a positive way. For me HT means enthusiasm, challenges because it's a place that is just built and I think passion for research.


welcome to the session in which we'll discuss travel expense. Specifically, we need to differentiate about travel expense when it comes to self-employed individual versus employee. Now, when you are a self-employed individual and you incur travel expense, this expense, this deduction goes on schedule C and it's deducted for AGI. If you are an employee, your deduction will go on schedule A and it's a deduction from AGI. Just let me clarify this one more time. So if we're looking at your form 1040, at some point, you're going to get to your adjusted gross income. Schedule C, any deduction above AGI is called for AGI. Any deduction below AGI is from AGI. This is for. So when you have a business schedule, while you're going to prepare schedule C, then schedule C eventually will go into your line on your 1040 on a line above AGI. This is the AGI line. If it's above AGI, it's for AGI. In the prior session, we looked at the transportation expense when it comes to self-employed versus employee and basically transportation expense going from point A to point B, transportation. In this session, we would look at travel and we need to know that travel is different than transportation. Some students mix the two up. Now, travel is totally different. Travel is more encompassing. Travel include hotels and lodging as well as meals. So we're going to go ahead and start to discuss what are the rules for travel expense, what's deductible, what's not. And again, different rules for self-employed and employee. I will keep mentioning this as we go along. Let's go ahead and get started. Before we proceed any further, I have a public announcement about my company, farhatlectures.com.

My resources consist of lectures, multiple choice questions, true, false questions, as well as exercises. Go ahead, start your free trial today. Travel expense. What's the definition of a travel expense? Travel expense is expenses incurred while away from your tax home on business. So you're away from something called the tax home. Now we're going to have to define what the tax home is. And this includes transportation to go from point A to point B, lodging 50% of meals and incidentals. Now what is tax home? This is important because the definition is you have to be away from tax home and on business. Tax home is where you spend most of your time and or derive most of your income. And this is important. Now most of the time, 99% of the time, we know what our tax home where do we spend most of the time and or derive most of our income, usually where we live and where we work. So if you work, if you live somewhere and you work for a company, you know where your tax home is. Now we're going to see in some circumstances that that may not be as clear as that. Away from home is when you are more than 24 hours. One day business trip is not enough. So for example, I'll tell you sometime I attend seminars or conventions in Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh is six hours from where I live. We have five hours that's safe around five hours. What I do in the morning, I leave very early in the morning to get there by eight. Then I leave like an hour early, like in the evening, and I'll get back home. So I spend that day close to 16 hours away from home between travel and attend in the convention, because I just don't want to sleep overnight. Well, that's not away from home because one day business trip is not enough. You have to require resting and rest and require that you stay overnight. Now substantial time requires rest, sleep or leave from work period. Well, if I don't do that, that's not away from home. That's not away from home. Now if you are reassigned for an indefinite period of time, let's assume you work for a company and your location is New York City. They assign you to Herzberg in Pennsylvania. Well, if that's the case, if they assign you for more than a year, then Herzberg becomes your home. Even though you are reassigned, but since you are there more than a year, that becomes your tax home. That becomes your tax home. You're no longer away if you are assigned to a location more than a year. Let's take a look at a few examples to illustrate these concepts. Noah operate a consulting practice in Philadelphia, but due to the increased client responsibilities, Noah has many clients in New York City. He thought he needed to open an office in New York City. So what he did, he opened an office and he started to travel. He dedicated three months traveling from Philadelphia to New York City to train a new manager to take over the operation. Now obviously, after commuting for few days or few weeks from Pennsylvania to New York City on 95, he found out that's not a good idea. So what he did, he chose to rent an apartment in New York where he would reside during the work week. On weekends, he would return back home and spend time with his family and children. Now for tax purposes, Noah can deduct certain expenses related to his stay in New York, because he's staying there for three months. Okay, this includes rent, meals, laundry, incidental and automobile expense directly associated with his time spent in New York, because he's there temporarily. Now, any transportation exceeding the cost of meals and lodging during his weekend trips, remember, during the weekend, he's traveling back to his family in Philadelphia. So any transportation expense greater than the cost of meal and lodging during his weekend trip is not deductible, because if he stayed in New York, he could deduct the dose. But if he spent more on transportation expense than those, then he cannot deduct them. But now let's assume that's changed the scenario. Now this is changing the scenario. Noah determined that he was most suitable candidate to take care of his New York office. And as a result, he made a decision to relocate there permanently. Now his wife and children still living in Philadelphia until the school ends. Well, once he decides to relocate to New York City, he's no longer away from home. That becomes his home. That becomes his permanent home. Therefore, any expense incurred while he's in New York, they can no longer be away from home.  That's no longer temporary. Therefore, you can no longer away from home. Let's look at another scenario where it's a little bit odd. Okay, tax home where you spend most of your money or derive most of your income. Let's look at Tony was a single and he drives a long haul truck, stays at his mother's house during the holidays and uses her address, but does not contribute to its upkeep. So basically, he owns a truck and he travels for for work. And he uses his home, his mother's address as his address. So he received mail and on holidays, he visits, but he does not upkeep the house. In other words, he's not maintaining a home. Okay, now since Tony lacks a regular place of duty or residence, his tax home is considered where he works, which is on the road. Now, why this case is important, because the IRS had a similar case where a truck driver wanted to deduct all the meals, everything, all the expenses that he incurs on the road. So the court says not at all, your home is the road, your home, because you don't have a location. Your location is where you derive most of your income. So as a transient worker, Tony is always considered to be at home means at work. And therefore, the cost of his meals and lodging while traveling are personal expenses and cannot be deducted. Let's take a look at another example. Joe, a physical therapist resides with his family in Westchester, Pennsylvania. Every year, he works for the Miami Dolphins in Florida for seven months, earning a salary of 180,000. During that time in Miami, he rents an apartment. And during the off season, he goes back to Westchester and work at ACAC, earning a salary of 25,000. Okay, now what's his tax home? Well, Miami is his tax home, not Westchester. Okay, as a result, his living expenses in Miami, such as food and lodging cannot be deducted. Let's talk about conventions, especially if you're a future CPA, you're going to be attending many convention and conferences for certified for continuous professional education. So what are the rules for if you attend convention or conferences? If they are business related business related means they are related to your business. You could attend any convention you would like to for personal enjoyment, for personal growth, that's different. Here we are discussing conventions and conferences that are business related, for example, you know, continuous professional education is a good example of that. If you are self employed, and you're attending those business related convention, does that deductible is for AGI.  Okay, let's take a look at this example far had a CPA and a passionate about cryptocurrency. I'm not at all that I'm just making up the example. So my job is, I'm a certified public accountant, I have my own practice, but I like to trade cryptocurrency. Travels to Las Vegas to attend a two day seminar dedicated to the latest advancement in the cryptocurrency industry. And that's not what I do in my business. I don't I'm not really, you know, my practice is not related to cryptocurrency. Well, I did this because of my own enjoyment. I like to follow cryptocurrency. I cannot claim that deduction, I cannot claim the deduction for travel expense. Now, if we change the scenario here, and let's assume I'm attending a seminar about the taxation of cryptocurrency, and I run a CPA firm, I prepare taxes, maybe, maybe I have clients that trade cryptocurrency, or maybe I want to solicit clients that trade cryptocurrency, then the travel expense is deductible. Now, also to claim a deduction, a taxpayer must physically attend the convention alongside other participants.  Okay, or simply watching or listening to the recorded session at a later time does not qualify. So I would say, okay, but I did view it. It was recorded and I view it, I view it later. No, when you travel, you have to be there in person. Okay, so you cannot, for example, vacation during the convention and watch the videos afterward. Okay, but let's assume you opted, you opted to watch the videos rather than go into the convention. If you did that, okay, for example, if you had to rent any facilities, pay a fee, then that's deductible. That's deductible. That's a different story. But traveling, meals, and entertainment, that's no longer deductible. More about conventions. How about if you take your spouse or dependent? Sometime what happened is you go on these conventions, for example, to Las Vegas, and you bring along your wife. Well, no deduction if no business purpose. Okay, let's assume Mrs. Farhat, my wife, she's a project manager at Johnson & Johnson accompanied me to attend the cryptocurrency taxation seminar in Las Vegas. She just came along. Well, guess what? Her expenses is not deductible because she's a project manager at Johnson & Johnson, and the seminar is about cryptocurrency taxation about my business. Okay, unfortunately, no deduction is allowed. Let's assume on the other hand, my wife works as a bookkeeper for my practice. In this case, she's learning something about taxation, how to keep track of trades, cryptocurrency taxation, that's totally different. Then under those circumstances, her expenses are deductible. So for it to be deductible, it has to be business related. Sometime what happened is this, you travel on business, but at the same time, you combine business and pleasure. So you're traveling for a business, you're going to Denver, you're going to Colorado, you're going to California for a few days for business, you extend your stay for pleasure or personal purposes. Now only business expenses are deductible. That's the case. Non-transportation, meals, taxi fare, lodging, those must be allocated between business and personal days. So if there's personal days not deductible, the business ones are deductible. How about transportation, which is here we're talking about airfare? Okay. Is this deductible or not? Well, let's talk about domestic travel. We're traveling within the US because there are different rules within the US and outside the US. If the trip is primarily business, how do we know the trip is primarily business? You look at the total number of days, let's assume you are there for five days, and you are there for on business for four days, that's 40%. That's not, it has to be greater. Six days, six over 10 is 60%. It has to be more than 50% for the trip to be a business trip. If that's the case, then you can deduct your transportation, deduct your transportation. If the trip is not primarily business, nothing, you will get nothing. So if it's four out of four out of 10 days, which is 40%, you cannot deduct 40%. It's going to be zero, zero. So in the current year, Adam travels from LA to New York with the primary purpose of conducting business. He dedicated five days to business activities and three days for sightseeing. So again, total of eight, five divided by eight is greater than 50%. His transportation expense included including plane and taxi fares, 1,250. Adam's meals reach 150 per day and that's expensive in New York City, but since the trip is primarily for business, only in the meals for the five days are deductible. So he paid 150 per day. We're going to take 150 times five days. Remember, the meals are deductible up to 50%. Then you multiply that by 50%. And we'd learn a little bit more about meals and entertainment, which is no longer allowed, but they go together. So therefore meals is 375. Also his lodging and incidental expenses for five days are deductible, assuming it's 200 times five, it's $1,000. Therefore, the transportation is deductible, the 375 is deductible, and the five days at the hotel is deductible. If the business was not primarily for business, that means if he spent, let's assume less business days, three out of the eight business days switch, then those will not be and will have to prorate the other for only three days. And the transportation will not be deductible. That's not a percentage. Well, sometimes what's going to happen is you're going to travel overseas or foreign travel. There are slightly different rules for foreign travel. Okay, sometimes you travel and you combine business and travel, you go to Italy and it's on a business trip, but also you'll take a few days. Transportation expense must be allocated between personal and business. So now you allocate the transportation expense unless the taxpayer is away for seven days or less. So if the trip is seven days or less, and less than 25% of the time was for personal, so the majority of it has to be business. No allocation is required if the taxpayer has no substantial control over the arrangement of the trip. Of course, if you are going, if someone sending you, if your company is sending you and they're determining your arrival date and your return date, then you have no control over this. Then you don't allocate at this point. If the trip is primarily pleasure, it means it doesn't meet those two conditions. It's more than seven days and less than 75% is for business. Forget about the transportation expense. You can no longer do that. Now, how do we count for travel days? Business days, there's no weekends, legal holidays, assuming the days before and after our business days. Let's take a look at this example. Adam, a business professional, took a trip from New York to Japan and 20x trade. The purpose of the journey was primarily business. He was away from home from April 10th till the 19th, which is 10 days. Of these 10 days, he spent three days for personal, therefore seven days for business. Seven divided by 10 equal to 70%. 70% is less than 75%. Now we're going to have to allocate the transportation. Airfare 5000, meals $150 per day, lodging an Incidental 350. How much of his trip is deductible? Well, the transportation, because it's less than 75%, it's going to be 5000x70%. It's going to be seven days each meal. Every day he spent 150x50%. That's 525. $350, the incidentals and lodging times seven, which is the business, 3,500. Now, how about if eight days were business? If eight days were business, then the airfare will be 100% and those will be obviously eight business days. So it makes a difference. What should you do now? Whether you are a CPA candidate, enrolled agent or an accounting student, go to Farhad Lectures and you need to work more MCQs, multiple choice to understand these topics and do better. Good luck, study hard and of course, stay safe.


Good morning. Sorry that my glasses have not turned the color yet. It's going to turn pretty soon. So I'm the only cool guy with sunglasses in the room the whole day. Welcome. We're here to celebrate our newly promoted associate professors, Mohit Verma, Maria Onkinowski, David Johnson's not here yet. Luis Salores is here. Congratulations to your success. Now you don't need to listen to deans anymore. So this event, we're listening to each of our newly tenured associate professors' success stories, how they enjoy their research, and their reflections on the path to their successes. Each success story is unique. So I'm really looking forward to listening to those. To start with, I want to introduce Professor Nate Moser, head of ABE department, to introduce our first speaker. Thank you, Wayne. So yes, I'm Nate Moser. I'm the department head in agricultural and biological engineering. And it's my great pleasure this morning to introduce Dr. Mohit Verma, a newly promoted associate professor. As Dean Chen mentioned, all of the speaker's day are asked to reflect a little bit on their path to get here. So I'm going to give a biographical details for Mohit. But I want to brag on him just a little bit. Some things that, in my reflection on his time here at Purdue University, that's led to some of his successes. And I'll sort of point to two sort of key things. Number one, Mohit is very entrepreneurial. So he thinks about where there are opportunities and how to go after opportunities and do so aggressively, whether that is in research, whether that is in teaching, whether that is in developing teams, whether that is going after grant funding. He has this entrepreneurial mindset, and he may even talk a little bit about his startup company that he's founded as well. Part two that I would say, in my reflection of Mohit, that he does extraordinarily well is that he is a team builder and a collaborator. So you may hear a little bit in his reflections about how he's formed very diverse teams in approaching research, diverse in terms of backgrounds, in terms of expertise, in terms of organizations that are involved in the research that he does. So these are public-private partnerships. He has developed teams that involve foundations, companies, faculty from multiple colleges, all as part of bringing together teams that do this effectively, and he may speak a little bit about the Purdue Applied Microbiome Science Center as well, which he is a member of in addition. So these are some qualities, I think, that are part of his road to success, and it's my great pleasure to welcome him here to tell his story, and please join me in welcoming him. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for that kind introduction, Nate. As you all know it by now, my name is Mohit Burma. I'm now an associate professor in Ag and Biological Engineering, also have a courtesy in Biomedical Engineering. And a reflection of first, how did I get here, right? And I've written about this in a blog called lifeofhoprofessor.com, so that's my blog. And one of the most viewed articles is this one right here, What Is Tenure? Because people are curious, I think, just from the public, and even students maybe don't really understand what professors do and so on. That's really what's got me to start this blog. So there's some foreign articles there. What I'll highlight is this graphic over here, which kind of shows you a typical path, and that's pretty much my path as well, for becoming a faculty member, starting with an undergrad, and you'll see the stick figure gaining more and more credentials. So you'll see it starts with a degree. My degree was in nanotechnology engineering from the University of Waterloo in Canada. And the red kind of bars are the milestones. On the y-axis it's relatively how hard it is to get across those milestones, from my perspective at least.  I continued on at the University of Waterloo, focusing on nanotechnology. I have a PhD in chemical engineering, and it's become very typical to go and try to get a postdoc position, which I did at Harvard with George Whitesides for a couple of years. And during that time you get to learn a wide variety of things, not just your technical skills, advancing the science, but in my case also how to communicate better, and the importance of communication really, both oral and written. And I think the biggest hurdle really is from that point, trying to get a tenure track position, because typically the number of jobs available versus the number of candidates, the ratio is pretty challenging. At least that's what I found. So when I landed a position here at Purdue, that was one of the biggest achievements and that's why I put that as a very high milestone. And after you get here, Purdue is actually a very supportive environment because they want you to succeed. That's what I found. And most universities are like that. So they have all kinds of resources to help you get there, get tenure basically. And that's where one of the key things is now you become a mentor, right? So you train other students and that ranges all the way from undergrads, grad students, postdocs. We have some visiting scholars as well. And once you get that, you get tenure hopefully. So that's really, that's been my journey so far. And the future typically goes on to expand your network, build some international collaborations, and hopefully become a professor maybe for life, who knows, we'll see. So that's been the journey so far. More details are on the blog if people are interested. One of the key things, and Nate kind of mentioned this, is once I got here, how did I succeed, right? And it builds on really finding out what's going on at Purdue. Like for example, I wasn't really familiar with agriculture and biological engineering until I got here. So I got to learn a lot about the problems in agriculture, the advances we can make from biological engineering and apply it there. Got to connect with a lot of colleagues on campus, across colleges for sure, within the college as well. And my approach had really been first just to learn what's going on. And one of the kind of key moments happened very early once I got to Purdue. It was at a networking event actually between the College of Agriculture and College of Engineering. And they're trying to kind of initiate new programs. I was sitting next to Aaron Ault, who is a feedlot operator. So he operates cattle feedlot. And he was kind of just complaining about this problem that he has about his cattle getting sick. He doesn't know which antibiotics to use. And I was like, there must be a solution. There wasn't. So we're like, okay, why don't we do it? As an assistant professor, you have some leeway into what you want to stop working on and we had that freedom. So that was like a key moment to get started on my lab. Start working on an important problem because you know that there really is a problem if you come up with a solution, someone will actually use it and it'll make a difference. You're of course validated that it was a big enough problem and it was. And that led to very initially some Purdue internal support. And those are, on the plot over here, what you see is the x-axis is just the time since I got here, those are really just submission dates. The y-axis, these are just successful awards. The y-axis is cumulative award. And that red line over there is basically what a typical startup package is for the faculty members to get here. So the initial dots you see, those are internal funds or small external funds. Just to prove your concept, show that this is actually an interesting project, interesting idea. A lot of these are internally supported. And then you'll see some big jumps. That are happening, the laser pointer isn't great, but you'll see some big jumps that happen on the y-axis. For example, one of the biggest ones was when we got this USDA grant through NIFA IV, that same problem, the cattle problem, the trying to solve the boba and respiratory disease problem. And that was a million dollars. And that really kind of set me up to be like, okay, we can actually get external funding. We can build a sustainable lab. And once we got that, we had a platform technology, a technology that could do diagnostics out in the field. It could be applied to a variety of different applications. So we took it from cattle held during the pandemic. We looked at looking at COVID-19, so detecting SARS-CoV-2, for example. And those were some big kind of external sources. We expanded that to a new innovative award looking at viruses in cattle as well, just kind of expanding the breadth, also looking at antibiotic resistance genes. And then kept building it towards other animal diseases. For example, in this case, the other big one is African swine fever, which is in pigs, and it can be a big problem if it ever gets here. It is a problem internationally. And this is kind of where my tenure package would have gone in, so that's what it was evaluated on. When I initially joined Purdue, there weren't really, and I think this is still true, every case is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. There's no real numbered or at least firm numbers, but at least unofficially, what I heard was, you should at least try to match what Purdue is starting you off off. So at least get to the startup level. If better, that's even better. I'm not sure the deans in them can comment on that news, but at least that's what I was told. So my milestone was at least meet that red mark and go a little bit beyond, and we were successful in doing that. And most recently, what we've done is expanded this towards looking at taking a more one-held approach, expanding beyond just livestock, looking at other animals, wildlife, and so on, and see if we can do surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 using similar technologies. All of this would not be possible if I was just doing this by myself, and that's what Nate commented on. So almost half of our work is things that we are expert at and we do kind of ourselves. The other half is basically things that I'm working with collaborators, working with co-PIs, because they actually have the expertise of animal sciences, for example, of wildlife sciences, working with industrial partners. So all of that, it's been really fun because that's when you know that you're working with a relevant problem. Otherwise, as engineers, this is very common. We come up with really fancy tools which maybe don't really have a use. We try to find a use. So we try to work the other way around and that's been working out well for us. And some of the examples I've already mentioned, so for example, the BRD project is listed on the left over there, where we're actually going. And one of the things we also do is take it from all the way from the lab. So we're developing new technologies and go out and test it in the field. So we're doing the whole scale and that's only really possible if you have the right partners in place. And you can see we've worked with industrial partners as well for COVID-19. That was quite an experience because it was a very rapid development that helped us get work done that would have taken several years in maybe nine months, six to nine months. So that really helped develop the technology itself and that expanded on to applications in animal health but at the bottom you also see for food safety. So we're actually helping the food safety industry as well to help detect what kind of risks might be present. What we're kind of, and all of this, of course, I'm not the one doing all the work. It's all the grad students and the trainees and undergrads and postdocs. I have a limited list really of the people that have gone through the lab over here. This photo is also outdated because we haven't had the time to update it but really it's been fun to work with all the grad students, all the postdocs, undergrads, visiting scholars and so on and they're really the ones who do the work, right? They're the ones who actually go out in the field, develop new technologies and really the credit goes to them to execute everything. Especially as we're moving more and more towards testing things out in the field, a lot of people are really unfamiliar. Like I'm also unfamiliar. So we're learning together. They're learning the skills to test these technologies, get feedback, work with stakeholders. So it's been a learning process but it's been very valuable to be able to do this. So really the credit goes to all of these people and the collaborators which it's a long list so I won't mention detail but it does cut across multiple different colleges. Where do we go from here? So as I mentioned, my starting story was really because there was a problem that needed to be solved and that's how we started doing this research. We've kind of built upon that and I have a startup company that has taken the technology to develop in my lab and trying to commercialize that. So really turning into a faculty entrepreneur, Chrissy Diagnostics is the startup. We're trying to build that up. Our initial market will probably be towards companion animals and we're building on that. We've raised some money in investment. We're raising more money and trying to hopefully get a product out next year. Is there a goal? So you'll probably see a little bit more of that. And on the research side of things, what we've done is we've done applications on for example animal health, plant or environmental health from a food safety perspective, a bit of human health and now we're also looking at some wildlife health. In the long term, what I would like to do is kind of try to start integrating these things, take a one health approach, see how factors from one system affect the other and how we can control them to try to, for example, limit the spread of antibiotic resistance, detect new emerging infectious diseases earlier and try to build systems that are smarter than what we have available. Now try to do it out in the field rather than depending everything on a lab-based method. And to do this, we're expanding our tool set so the things that we've already developed that we're good at, we're building that further but also looking into new tools such as the AI-based tools. I mean, this image, for example, was generated using Adobe Lester AI tools, right? So that is taking off and we're just kind of starting to get into understanding how we can leverage that for our applications. And that is it. So thank you everyone for joining. Appreciate your time. Thank you for having me. Back on. I think we've got time for a question or two if I'm right. So are there anybody from the audience with a question? Could you go back to your chart that your years versus research awards? Yes. So the Dean's office would like to see the end has the aspirational trend. But of course, you don't have to listen to the Dean's office anymore. When I see this flattening off, hey, what are you doing? It doesn't include the submitted stuff, so. Other questions. Hello, congratulations on the start of your startup, but also your promotion. What tips do you have for aspiring faculty entrepreneurs on how to balance the demands of both worlds? Yeah. It's not easy, that's for sure. And I was fortunate because my startup aligns quite well with what we do in the lab. And everything is relatively streamlined in the sense that we're developing technologies for our research for the lab and we license that out. The startup comes over here and turns it into a product, right? So that part is pretty clear and Purdue has good systems for making sure there are conflicts of interest that are in place and so on. So what I did was actually Purdue had an entrepreneurship learning academy that really helped figure out whether you have a market or not, whether you're in the right place or not. And that's a big, big aspect of entrepreneurship that we as faculty members don't really get trained on typically. So I encourage people to look through that if you haven't already. That's pretty light-paced, so it's easy to manage. They give you lunch every week. So, and then from there, we had internal support first, so we raised some funds from Purdue. Things are changing at the time, it was Accelerator. Having those funds in place is also beneficial because it helps you get the startup set up properly from the legal and IP perspective. Once that's done, I would actually recommend getting outside help for managing the business aspects and that's what we did. That was actually a Purdue PRF kind of recommendation. They helped connect to the right people. We worked, we interviewed a few and then we found a person who had business expertise but also, in my case, the animal health expertise which is what we needed and several years, a lot more years than I did. So that really helped because now he can take care of all the business aspects and I can focus on the technology aspects. That works out quite well, so. Thank you. All right, thank you Mohit. We'll move on to our next speaker. Thank you.


I'm going to take you guys through a tour of all the food I currently have in my house. This will help you understand how I obtain all the vitamins and minerals my body needs in addition to what I do to improve the nutrient status of my family's diet. So real quick, the non-perishables in the cabinets, I have some salt here, some iodine supplements, down here some more salt, some iodine supplements. There's actually some fermentation starters here. I have some wild rice. I have some iron corn wheat flour, just some cooking fats as well. There's also some more iron corn wheat flour here. Iron corn is the first strain of wheat that ever existed. This is some beef belly that I'm going to eat today. And here I have some beef brain drying off before I pan sear it. These are farm fresh pastured eggs, soy free, prohibitively expensive. These are like eight dollars a dozen. But this is what I feed to my family. This is my family's fridge although I do have some stuff in here from time to time as you can see by the rest of that beef brain. My sister is mentally disabled so I try to prepare meals for her and have a regimented routine. She takes this for breakfast, this for lunch, this for a snack. Usually she has pastured eggs with raw butter and raw cheese for breakfast. For lunch here we have some bologna rolled up straight from the farm. Just some cold cuts rolled up. And her snack is raw Parmigiano cheese with some liver pate. Up here is Frankie's grilled chicken. We might be selling that soon. Here I have some plantains. Very very cheap and affordable and incredibly tasty way to get nutrients. I just took the plantains, put them on a sheet pan and cooked them with some butter. Back there are actually some muffins. That's my secret chocolate chip muffin recipe. I'll share that with you guys in the future. Here is some raw cream. These are pretty expensive too, $15 a quart. But this is just raw heavy cream straight from the farm. My mother eats this as a snack. It's a super nutrient dense low carb way to have energy. Back here is just some steak that I'm going to cook for my family. This is the liver pate in the container. And this is a bowl of beef stew. This has been my sister's dinner for the past week and a half. So what I do for this stew is I take some beef. I make a beef stock and then I take that beef stock. I put some fresh meat in it and then that is going to be the soup base. In addition to that soup base with the meat, I add some egg yolks. So I scramble some egg yolks and I add them to the soup raw. I also add some raw cheese and sometimes I even add some raw cream. So essentially we have a very, very nutrient dense, highly satiating, incredibly tasty source of sustenance that's very approachable. It has this rich beefy flavor. It has that almost slight eggy cholesterol that adds some texture to it. You have the raw cream adding more richness and the Parmesan cheese adds salt, umami. It's really an amazing and approachable way and it shows how you can really be creative with your nutrient density when preparing certain foods for people. Here are some crab cakes I made for my family. All I did was take some lump crab meat, mix it with butter, egg yolks and Dijon mustard and I put it in some muffin tins and baked in the oven. This is some raw milk I just bought from my dad. I also use the raw milk to marinate liver sometimes. This is just water for my family. In the back there I have some chicken liver. I've been giving my father chicken liver to increase his vitamin B content. He's been deficient in vitamin B12. Down here just some cheeses. I also have some raw Parmesan cheese somewhere in here too. And on the fridge door here is some raw butter. Sometimes I do use carry gold for cooking but if I can and it's not too much butter in a recipe I do use the raw butter. Most of the stuff in the freezer up here is my parents low quality meat but I bought them some vanilla ice cream from the farm. It's raw cream, raw milk, honey, butter, vanilla bean powder, egg yolks, Celtic sea salt. Super delicious, tasty, way easier than making it myself and it's not too expensive. That's the muffin I spoke about earlier that I made for my dad. But if you look at the color of the muffin it looks dark brown like it's a whole wheat muffin but that's actually from the nutrient density of the food products used. Since the egg yolks, the butter, all the ingredients we put in it are raw and high quality it adds like a dark orangey tinge to the muffin. So this is the fridge downstairs.   Not really much to see here just some really fatty fresh grass fed meat. So all of the meat in the freezer down here is what I serve to my sister primarily. All of the beef is grass fed. The pork is milk fed which means it's much lower in omega 6 and higher in nutrients. The chicken livers and hearts here are actually for my father but everything else is my sister. So this is pork ham. It's sliced thin. It's raw. I take it. I put it in a pan. Add some salt to it. Then you can have that on its own, add it to eggs, bunch of different applications. The pork chops here, I usually marinate them, throw them on the grill, serve them for dinner. We have some bacon ends here.  Hot dogs, self-explanatory, make hot dogs approachable with higher quality meat. A great way to get nutrients in a young person's diet that doesn't really like eating meat. This is some bologna, same principle, something very approachable. I just take it, I roll it up, throw it in the container and she eats it for lunch on its own. There's some liverwurst back there. My dad likes liverwurst and when I don't have liver pate, I give my sister liverwurst. The sweet Italian sausages, slice them up, put them in containers for her lunch. Just a bunch of really tasty, high quality animal foods that are approachable that she enjoys eating otherwise she wouldn't be eating protein. Just to give you guys an idea of the hygiene products that I will be offering in the future, the quality of the ingredients I use is absolutely crazy. Here we have some deep yellow shade butter from Africa. I got some emu oil from Down Under, super high quality expensive stuff. Everything that goes into my hygiene products is the highest quality possible. I render all of the beef fat myself, speaking of beef fat. Here I actually have some fermenting beef fat, some high meat and I graded each of these by the quality of the fat. Here we have Q plus, some higher quality yellow beef fat. This fermentation just started yesterday so maybe I'll keep you guys posted on this. Hopefully this gives you guys an idea of the amount of effort, time and money I put into my diet as well as my family's diet to ensure we are healthy.

o gets in the ring is not a walk over but i think you understand what i'm saying instead she's probably picked the most difficult fight that potentially is out there someone who's bigger than her someone who's you know naturally heavier than her who is a unified champion themselves we're talking about shantel camera in here uh who's a come forward box the one give her an inch i mean who's younger uh some people think katie's on the downward we'll see on saturday night i mean this is a huge task i mean what i mean you must have we all admire katie but to take this fight at this time is unbelievable isn't it i think this just really shows the true champion that katie is and you know a lot of people a lot of fighters out there say you know i really appreciate my fans and i really love where i come from and all this here but it's easy to say that but katie's proven that now with her actions like she's putting on one of the biggest fights ever not only in female boxing but in boxing in general you know male as well two undisputed champions they hold all the belts in both of their divisions and the two of them is going to be putting them on the line and usually like katie is the A side but she's the one that's moving up and wait she's not making shantel come down into katie's weight she never asked she never asked for a catch weight or for her to come down to katie's weight unbelievable exactly you know this shows this shows the type of warrior that katie is you know she has no thoughts whatsoever on like what people's going to be thinking this that or whatever she's there to put on the best show for the fans and to make it the best homecoming that she possibly can and that's exactly what she's doing and yes exactly as you said is greg you know she did not pick an easy fight coming back here this is going to be a very very difficult fight i do believe that katie's going to win this fight uh on points you know katie isn't a big puncher she doesn't stop a lot of people so her moving up and wait i definitely can't see that you know moving up and being the smaller opponent and against a bigger fighter i definitely can't see a stoppage on katie's uh on katie's behalf in this fight but i believe that katie's going to be very in control early on the fight her skills are way above shantels but this is professional boxing and sometimes using professional boxing skills aren't always the one that pays the bills so how does she win it does she you know on her bike on the outside quick combinations in and out frustrated opponent and hopefully uh the training obviously she's put the the training in that the legs hold out and she doesn't sort of get i don't know um you know attract down in in the later rounds is that how you see the the pathway to katie's success yeah look um i was at the press conference yesterday at the dublin castle and shantels coach jamie murr says at the press conference like he was we would be mad to go in there and think that we're going to be able to out box katie taylor you know with her skills and yes there could be some mind games being thrown in here as well but you know i think it's black and white that the katie is the much superior boxer in terms of skills to shantel but shantel is a really tough operator she's strong she's dogged she's hungry this is her idol that she's fighting do you know this has been like when i was i was talking to um i was talking to one of shantel's teams and they were saying that whenever this fight was announced she was kind of and they first did the face off she's like she kind of thought to herself oh my god that's katie you know like but now she has switched that mindset to be like excuse my language you know i don't give a s**t here you know who this is across the ring i got to get in there and take care of business and i was very happy to hear that because that's the type of mindset that she's going to have to have whenever she gets in here now but go on to your question greg about how does katie won this fight she does have to be up on her toes she does have to be using her skills using her jab not letting shantel get inside because that's going to be shantel's game plan if shantel leaves it too late to really push the pace and push the pressure on katie then i believe it's going to be a comfortable decision one for katie but if shantel can get inside tire katie down early on in the fight and make it a dog fight then i believe that it's going to be a very close fight yeah and my concern is katie has a little bit of view in it uh in that you know you might say you're going to box a certain way right and you tell your coach you're going to box a certain way and then someone sort of stands in front of you and you decide to stand in front of them and trade the cup yeah i think both that you can be a bit guilty that at times jason of course definitely you know it's um i think it's it must be a uh a trait and i'll try to reach it yeah you know somebody somebody gives us a challenge and we just we go we go all out i'm having that yeah i know i i think i think katie you know and and this is another one as well i believe you know we have seen katie in the past now in the last couple of fights and a few people are thinking that she's sliding a little bit and yes she might be but that's natural because of the age of katie because of the fights because of the wear on the tires that she has you know through the years i believe that she might be on the slide a little bit but being in the three arena with all the irish fans there this is her homecoming i believe that you're going to see maybe one of the best performances from katie taylor now saturday night that's it and i won't keep you very much longer another great uh women's fight terry hopper versus a legend of women's boxing cecilia backhouse she's been around for absolutely ever it's a great fight for terry hopper to against the legend and can elevate herself but it has the potential to be a real barnstormer as well yeah and you know this is one thing that that i wanted to say coming on here as well like the the undercarriage on this show as well is is top class can't wait to see gary collie i mean i there's something about him i'm already a huge fan of his and i think he's just i'm interested to see if he changes his uh changes his ring name you know his nickname because he got a bit of abuse i think the last time out and eddie heron said right we're gonna have to come up with a new nickname for you so i'm fascinated to see what they do there but go on anyway jason sometimes sometimes this abuse can uh can work out in your favor too you know you need to you need to kind of play the villain as well sometimes and and stand out a little bit sometimes not always for the right reasons but you know um the first lady is they're calling cecilia backhouse you know and terry hopper you know these are two great people that are in the sport uh for good things and it's great you know boxing has got a lot of slack over the years and you know it's always been the bad guys or the bad women or you know it's always been you know the rough and tough and but we're starting to see a lot of good uh good genuine people being successful in boxing now you know cecilia spoke yesterday at the press conference as well and says that she really fought hard because professional boxing was banned in norway and only recently enough that they got that ban lifted and she had a 10 000 seeder sell out there herself you know so it's great to see uh good people doing good in boxing but you know we go to the undercard like and you have my my stable mate there trained by andy lee as well patty dovein who is uh who i think is going to be a massive massive star he's definitely going to be a wonderful watch out for he's going to be on the early broadcasting um on the zone so tune in early anybody that's going to be tuned in on the disown before the bell it's going to be around 5 30 i'm actually going to be commentating uh on that for patty's fight which is going to be nice one i'm not going to be biased at all on that one of course yeah call it as you say yeah but uh patty patty is going to be on that and uh he's got a he's got a good fight in samo mason who is uh is an english fighter came in a little bit late notice but has fought the likes of uh dalton smith as well one of matron's biggest prospects so this is going to be a great great time for um for patty to come on and show his skills and then you know you see yourself you have gary collier who's really standing out at the minute with a lot of knockouts in his last couple of fights he uh he is you know one of those guys that does stick out in the way that he talks the way that he looks and you know he's doing that in the ring as well and you also have uh thomas caraty as well you know a big heavyweight irish lad that is uh ready to put on a show and you've got keven aguero you know another irish lad from belfast who has to become the the first black irish world champion you know so this is this is great um for these young fighters to be getting this type of a platform here in ireland and it's only right that they get it because irish boxing has been starved and you know i'm so happy for for the fans you know just the genuine yeah great the genuine irish fans that have followed the sport for so long they can just jump in the car and drive up the tree arena if they've got their tickets or just go to the public workout even myself driving to the public workout and driving to the press car and going to the way and now and about another hour's time so just driving to there like to these big shows it's great to have a back in ireland again listen brilliant can't wait for it i've already got planning permission for the early card the full card the whole lot saturday night is sorted might listen to you commenting on paddy's fight as well and it's going to be a great night and it is ultimately uh a great to see big time boxing back in ireland and who's to say that this actually does not do a lot of the groundwork maybe for a huge fight here for you uh jason if all goes to plan thanks so much for joining us it's been lovely chatting to you all right take care jason all right jason quickly there i've indulged myself i have to listen to you's listening talk about marvel

been really looking forward to this and uh because i am a massive mikey j fox fan loved him posters on my wall it's like going back to the future days oh everything he ever touched back in those days had him up on the wall the whole thing and family ties loved it and he was team wolf oh secret of my success i mean even the bad ones were great um but it's he was one of these guys that which some a lot of people may not even know a lot about him because to be honest he hasn't really been in a lot of stuff now for the last 20 years or so good well it's about it the good yeah that he's done a few kind of like little cameo pieces in it yeah did he not have a more significant role in designated survivor no or was that cameo wish i didn't watch this so i can only speak to that one okay go well most of the stuff he's done is cameo wish um so mikey j fox is the star of back to the future he started off in television he's a canadian um uh did a lot of different stuff did um as i said uh played alex p's keaton in family ties why don't they re-show that i'd love to watch that again if anybody knows where you can find that online so he was in family ties and then uh he's got a website for that oh i know so we and then he went did back to the future and he went into movies and there was a period there where he was in absolutely everything and he was like an unlikely kind of a movie star slash tv star he's only as he says himself he's only about five foot nothing and you know he's when he first started off it was that because he was 17 18 and he could play like a 9 10 11 year old he was so kind of small and puny and that kind of in shape and stature and he ended up being one of the biggest movie stars um in america for a period of time and he was the highest paid and so many things he had like number one movies back to back uh everything he touched seemed to be golden and then when he was in his um i think it was like mid 30s or so he woke up one morning to find that his little finger was uh just uh shaking and he was unable to stop it and it wasn't a control of himself and years later he realized uh that they found out that he actually had early onset park Parkinson's disease he kept it quiet for years um working on tv and then and now he has said he does cameos but he does amazing stuff for um the parkinson society and fundraising and they fundraise millions and millions um in order to put into research for parkinsons and he just really isn't a fantastic man my role model for a lot of things and he's very open about the mistakes he's made in his life as well and he kind of kind of went off the rails at different times so it just really interesting he wrote a book which this is kind of loosely based on i think having read the book years ago and now they've come up with this documentary the documentary i loved it i absolutely adored i thought it made you want to go back and watch some of his stuff but it also was interesting when he gets further into it and he he's very open about the way parkinsons has impacted his body while he's doing the documentary you can he talks about how when he feels like he's reaching the end of his dosage and he's it's time for him to take another pill or whatever and you can like physically see him kind of decreasing in himself you know because the lack of like i'm not going to try to attempt the chemical that it is and is it how is the story told then so it is a documentary but there's obviously a lot of footage you will not like this documentary right because the only bad thing about this documentary is that and we're going to have to next time you have a documentarian on you're going to have to ask them what is it they don't have a mic yeah so annoying and this is done in a conversation so why is he not mike so it's not incidental question it's not it's specifically set that he asked the question i was just so glad i was watching it because on apple tv and i just showed you how technical i am my apple tv would i go into it it always gives me um subtitles and i'm not sure how to turn it off so but in this end i don't know how to turn it off again if anybody knows how to do that text so this was very handy for me because the bloody documentary kept whispering his questions basically what it is is it's the camera is set up like the camera is set up in front of you just staring on to michael j fox's face the um the uh documentarian is the other the other end of the camera shouting out uh different comments that's kind of moving the story forward then it's interspersed then with some press um footage of him also bits in the movie people may remember then towards the end of his uh well the height of his kind of career he did he came back to tv after when the movies kind of started going a little bit astray for him he came back to tv and uh he was in a program called spin city uh i absolutely loved it he kind of paid like a spin doctor in a in a political office i think it was like the mayoral office in new york or something like that um but it was really and i really enjoyed it always did they got some great um guest stars coming in and out of it but when i watched it i had no idea that he was done well and they start showing you bits of it while he's talking about how he hid it and it's amazing now when you see it right how you know and lots of different things little tricks of the trade that he did how nobody knew when it released you know when it was how it was like then for them to come out and and announce it um you know to have to let the public know and everything that this was what he was going through and uh it just i i really enjoyed the whole documentary so is it it's it's about him yeah it's him with his physio it's him with his but it's also awareness about parkinsons then is it well it to be honest it is it is just by the way it's told okay it's not actually teaching you anything focus okay no but he does because it's telling you more about him you do see him um like his his body moves very um jerkily now and particularly when he's walking and he's always if if anybody who did watch or was a fan of Michael Jay Fox he was always in his movies and his things running he's running down corridors and all of a sudden then he's reached as he says himself he finally reached a place in his head and in his age and in his maturity you know what i mean in his psyche that he was ready to actually slow down and then suddenly his body refuses to actually be still and what is the state of his condition it's degenerative but obviously he would have the access to the best of medicines um yeah he had but he probably has it a lot now i do not have any knowledge of this um but he when he i know i remember at the time when it was announced that he that he that he had this they were sort of saying 10 years and that by 10 years he would be incapacitated to such a degree but he he seems to be still out and about enjoying his life it shows him with his now adult children it shows him as i said he's you know he has like a uh permanent sort of a physical seems to be permanent physio person it shows him with his speech therapist it shows him with the different the different therapies that he goes talking to his consultant and that kind of thing about what it is so it doesn't really focus on the Parkinson's side of it like that it more focuses i think on him as a person what he was like how he's like now how he copes with how he is now i mean some parts of it are just tragic particularly for somebody like me who loved him and and still does i mean he's a great man but you know like had posters of him on the wall you feel his you feel what he has endured in his life more deeply because of your well at one point they ask him is he in pain and he's like agonizing at all times and and it's been described as astonishing it's very he's it's brilliant what's starting about is how open he is and how willing he is to let you see the impact that this has had on him okay like if you watch it you'll just be stunned that anybody would let uh you know it was willing to open up their life in this way and you'll be like me then giving out about this guggenheim guide that actually made the documentary and go seriously i'm going to send him a mic i have one upstairs it was 35 euros he can use it all right so annoying um kevin says hi greg and guardians of the tv that's you too i'll watch the michael j fox apple plus documentary still in what will capture people's admiration is the way in which uh it was to use scenes from michael j fox's work to portray his actual life which you've been outlining i mean i don't know what uh the had family i don't know what family ties had as it meant to be about the parents but michael j fox stood out straight away as alex p keaton and his long-suffering sisters one was malory played by justine bateman sister to ozark star jason bateman it was certainly a fascinating watch through his life and worth a second watch um yeah so yeah yeah no it's right there is there's something just enjoyable it's probably the wrong word when you're looking at you know when you're seeing somebody talking so openly about the struggles that they've had but also his kind of eat you know his ethos now and his thinking and you know what he values and that kind of thing and the changes that have come about with that he's just really to me anyways he just seems like a really admirable person it was definitely worth the watch but roomed by the not miking of the person who's asking the questions i mean it would be like me pulling the mic down now i've have pulled the mic down now so listeners know what i'm talking about yeah i'm in the distance for no reason whatsoever okay marks out of 10 oh i absolutely loved it and i think the people should watch it it's an interesting without being trying to teach you anything or without doing anything there's awareness that's happening and it's just to look at people you know the struggles that some people have in their lives and how they managed to overcome it i would definitely give it a nine or ten i really and again enjoyed it is the wrong no it is because that's just one minute you were near to you know i nearly became the two years one minute i was near tears the next minute you're laughing then you're remembering where you were when certain things came you know yeah where was i and what age i was when different movies came out and who you saw the journey for yourself so it ends up being a whole like i just really enjoyed it because it is really really well done that i sometimes michael the best awareness in education comes when we don't realize it's actually happening as well so of even if it's not its intention and it's to tell the story of one person you reflect and remember and and and grow with your awareness as as you go and yeah and and there is a thing with somebody like michael j fox where you do feel an emotional connection and therefore you feel empathy you grew up with them yes and so you will feel for them and it through that you can kind of walk a mile in there well yeah because he's one of those kind of people who are particularly people my age that uh right around my age that you kind of feel like you know him because he's sort of been around so long yeah he's one of those kind of celebrities that you're like oh yeah you know you just exactly well i would have been 12 when family ties started it was on monday nights on or t2 if i remember correctly and uh i was always watching his shows like i was watching his movies watching and he was in several seasons of the good wife as a baddie and he's so good as a baddie so good as a baddie so good as okay well listen both of you thank you very much for that great reviews so far we've got one ten out of ten uh and or nine or ten out of ten and we've also had great reviews for you we're

national lottery uh ladies yesterday evening 25 that's nine last night to say that there was a winner um the winner was picked on tuesday so there was some day the daily millions uh lotto draw that they do themselves internally at this stage we don't know who it is um i suppose look at this great excitement there's there is no rumors we don't know who it is it could be passing trades it could be people from the west it could be people locally it could be tourists it could be people walking across i see you were in there yourself and choose this you could have won us i don't know if that's maybe i'll check my ticket it could be me i was in there on tuesday uh i did do a quick no i did not i wish it was i could tell you where i wouldn't be sitting and that's right here right now i'd be giving funula rabbit a two-fingered salute and running at the door so come here um we don't know who's won and as you say you know you've got a huge uh local uh uh clientele but also a massive through traffic as well it's just one of those premises on the road that it's on so it could be someone living next door it could be as you say someone from Burtonport we just simply don't know it could it could and we've a lot of people that raise a lot of words and they do the national lottery and other people about it there's a lot of cards as well so as you said look it could be anybody but the excitement is palpable around this morning we're expecting the national lottery representative to be with us at 12 and there's great celebrations they had and i know those photographers and now even local press that yourself has contacted us was great um so no great excitement and uh and if we know Anton i and we're okay to share it i certainly will share it but at this stage we don't know who it is whoever it is it's going to make a huge difference in their life it's such a fantastic thing to happen to anybody exciting for the management and the staff as well it gives a nice little buzz in what's already a buzzing a buzzing facility great stuff marching keep us updated and well done thanks so much indeed thank you take care bye bye marching Kelly managing director there of the awesome food store uh Kelly's centra and Kelly's diner what's that for who hasn't shown up to work today um well there's a lot of people in the building how many of them are working i don't know uh katie is not here where's katey i know where's where did she put her idea i'm not a hundred percent sure we love to check that one out i've always liked katie by the way we're very close i'd say we're best mates just in case she's listening well i said to her if you know if you won the lotto what would you do about the begging letters and she said i'd keep standing them i wouldn't let that pump me off right okay what's the news the news yes a lot of news didn't show biz news was job is news oh i like that um yeah may every year is when the american networks bring down the chop on a lot of shows so in every day this week american networks demand networks have been cancelling shows and renewing shows so i'll start with two good renewals because there's two are not renewals two brand new shows that stood out first of all um i'm sure a lot of people remember the matlock series of the 80s and 90s um a very uh standard murder mystery murder she wrote esk type of show andy griffith uh that's been rebooted with katie bates as the new matlock i think it's a complete reboot it's not like she's his daughter or something like that they're just starting off with the whole thing so it's basically matlock is returning as so many shows have done in recent years they brought my diver back they bought magnum pi back they bring all these shows back so matlock will be arriving on american screens assuming the writer strike comes to an end and then obviously we'll have it over here probably late this year early next year so if you're a matlock fan or a katie bates fan from misery or from was it harry's law she did yeah um from any of those shows then you might be excited by the prospect of this and this it'll be out a bit earlier than that i seen trailers for it already well yeah well she's a retiree and she goes goes back to work as a matlock was originally a fella yes that's right alley griffith was him yeah and he the idea was that he was a southern lawyer who's like who's down home wisdom was was better than all them city slickers you know and that's i think that's from what i've seen from the trailers and that's why i say i think it's actually going to be in the autumn yeah well if the writer strike is solved it'll be on cbs probably third week of september and start what else is coming then the other show that really stands out we've been talking about the good wife a lot good wife had already had one spin off good fight a good wife i love that show one of the best written smartest shows on tv in the last decade 15 years one of the best characters on there was a character called ells beth played by carrie preston who i can best describe if you haven't seen the show she's sort of like a colombo-esque character who comes in appears to be walking chaos everybody underestimates her and she's always the smartest person in the room she's out with everybody and brilliant character who also appeared in the good fight after 10 15 years playing the character you know popping up maybe two or three episodes a season carrie preston is now getting her own show as ells beth starting again in america september time very excited about that because she's an amazing performer and this is a fantastic character this is another show in that franchise of three shows that could last another six or seven years that's the good news out of the way the shows that some of the shows we've talked about on air are you okay finula three pines which finula has loved awesome has been cancelled not because of ratings but because they couldn't work out financial deal behind the scenes amazon and i think i'm gonna say sony but i could be wrong whoever the production they couldn't work out a deal so the show has been pulled the same thing has happened with a long running resident which has an actor from the good wife there's a team this morning that's going off the air abruptly after six seasons they weren't expecting to be put so is three pines is there episodes in the in is their story no ends on a cliffhanger oh yeah i remember when we were talking about it it's set in it's set in canada and aphrodino is in it it's i really really enjoyed it was like it's it's on you loved it you loved it you're not gonna get any satisfaction the novels will answer the questions because they're based on a series of novels yeah that's why we thought it'd be going on forever and actually we were saying that aphrodino this could be his dad like daniel craig he's going with night yeah this could be his right up until he decides to chuck in the town permanently another cancellation uh anyone who's listening to the uh entertainment slaughter with us viewers knows that i have completely given my heart to catherine winick she captured my heart as a detective sheriff on big sky big sky has been cancelled so how's private this weekend i'm going to be just taking it very easy i don't want any phone calls i'm just gonna have awesome prayers for michael eddy so yeah that show uh reba mackentire was in the third season it's such a fun show but the viewership was going down so they pulled the plug in cis los angeles has reached the end of its 14 season life so that's off the air avenue five with you lorry that's gone as well quite quickly another show that filula loved alaska daily you well you know i liked it you liked it yeah i yeah you're right i didn't see you surrounding and that one is the one the people are going to be yeah that's the lie and the the physical with rose burn is uh coming to an end after one more season that's one of my favorite shows and the last thing i have on my list is the big one because of all the behind the scenes problems they've had with the lead actor on the show they've definitely conclusively announced that yellowstone is finishing after eight more episodes and that is really shocking because one of the spin-offs then they continue yes but the problem and people are saying it's not just kevin costner and we love that character but if we can the spin-offs take care of beth and the family like a rip rips one of the best characters and you know they're great characters so the big question marks but it's very i did it watch the first i watched the first series of the first one i did it okay i liked it but i have to get better in season too yeah i i enjoyed it but i just never really gave it the time yeah and i need to see especially when there's multiple series it feels like a big commitment it is a huge good yeah and it's difficult to it's not streaming direct you have to get paramount yeah it's a bit awkward rte player had it you missed it you missed it you missed it you missed it but it's a it's a it's a difficult one because taylor sharon famously had planned seasons in advance like he was talking about season five when he was shooting the pilot yeah so he had very specific plans now he only has eight episodes to finish it and it's going to be rough and it's rare to see such a top i mean it arguably it could be the number one you know it's because of the franches number one show the word i would say it is possibly organically the one of the most commented programs from listeners on the site oh it is yeah the people you have to watch it if you don't watch it you know pat garrett billy the kid also features another big bob dylan hit also popularized by nathan carter wagon wheel okay wagon wheels in it i'm trying to remember yeah there's several like i don't recognize that but okay um no there's several like dylan did the soundtrack so there's any things and he acts in it as well well he acts acts is a strong word i know he stands there in front of the camera and he hey hey hey boats i have to go we have to go all right that was fun a time flies so yeah lumen quick doesn't it finula michael both of you thank you for it very much today looking forward to reconvening next friday already just to remind you that john breslin is
