Love this scene, Captain. Look here, you. This is Captain Strong's own cabin. And no one's got any business of sitting here all right. Oh, pardon, sir. But there's someone in your cabin, sir. Well, who is it? What's that, Isaac? There's someone in the captain's cabin, sir. Who is it? I don't rightly know, sir. Well, didn't you see who it was? Yes, Mr. Wilson, that I did, sir. But the captain always locks his cabin. Don't you, Captain Strong? And I do, but I could have forgot. It wasn't locked just now, Captain. You say you've got to look at the man? I say, and pull in the face, Captain. You can rightly call it a face. What's that? What do you mean, Isaac? Yeah, yes, man. Speaker, what are you trying to tell us?  He's nothing but a skeleton. What? Nonsense, Isaac. Oh, no, sir, and that is not. I've seen him, sir. Look plumb into his face, I did. And there's nothing there but bones. White, bleach bones, sir. Oh, that's ridiculous. Empty eye sockets and a gaping mouth. And he was writing on your slate, sir. Writing on my slate? Aye, Captain, writing with a piece of white chalk held between his fingers. Fingers with no flesh on them, sir. Well, you've been dreaming, Isaac. Come on. Let's get down to my cabin and have a look. Come along, Mr. Wilson. Right, Captain. Isaac, come on. Aye, aye, sir. Well, it's impossible for anyone to be in my cabin. All the hands are either on deck or down in the engine room. That's what I say, Captain Storm. He ain't one of the crew. He ain't rightly nobody, sir, unless you want to call a spirit somebody. Isaac, stop that sort of talk. Oh, but it ain't no sort of talk, sir. Begging you pardon, Mr. Wilson. I've seen him with my own eyes, sitting there, dressed in some sort of get-up. I ain't never laid eyes on him before. He had his back to the door, and he was writing on your slate with a chalk, Captain. I spoke to him, but he didn't pay me no mind. He just kept right on with his writing. Then I got closer to him, and he still didn't look up. So I stooped down and peered into his face I did. And then I seen he wasn't nothing but a skeleton, sir. If you want a drinkin', man, Isaac, I'd have you flogged and put in an irons. I'm not so sure he hasn't been at the cake, Captain. Begging you pardon, sir, you'll see for yourself soon enough. Here's the hatch. You first, Captain. What was it I thought? Nobody here. Oh, Captain's empty. But I'd locked this door, Captain. So whoever it was couldn't get out. Well, you must have done that all right. I certainly don't want to just now. You perceive yourself, Isaac, as if there's no one in here. No. Nobody. And no way out except through that door. I said, Captain, have a look. Yes, Mr. Wilson, when it is, you'll slate. There is writing on it. Eh? Well, here, let me see. Here. There, Captain's wrong. You see, sir? That's not your writing, is it? No. No, it isn't my writing. Then one of the men must have been in here and wrote that. No. I don't think so. Because this writing is a style and a type that was used more than 200 years ago. What? Well, let's see. Ah, I see. That is strange writing. Is English all right? Such a peculiar spelling and phrasing. Blimey, I can't read it at all. Isaac. Aye, aye, Captain. I've seen this. I can't help but believe that you saw somebody sitting here in my cabin writing on my slate. But I won't be convinced that it was a skeleton. But I tell you, sir, I. It was your imagination, Isaac. Oh, no, sir, it wasn't your imagination. I said it was your imagination.  Aye, sir.  You hear me? There's, well, there's some explanation. I'm not going to have you stern up the crew with this. They're all superstitious enough without that. Aye, sir. Those are orders, Isaac. I'll have you in irons if you breathe a word of this to the man. Aye, sir. That's all, Isaac. Aye, sir. Well, Captain Stone? Why do you think of it, Wilson? Most extraordinary. I'm positive Isaac did see someone in this cabin. But surely not a, not a fleshless creature. I don't know. Isaac is a sober, steady sort of person. But don't found it, man. He hasn't much imagination. Well, whoever heard of a skeleton aboard a ship, much less one that could ride on a slate. Stranger things than that have happened at sea. You know that. Now, now that I do, but I can't convince myself that what Isaac saw was rarely some fleshless creature without a brain or a heart or eyes. Can you make out the writing on the slate? Yeah, I think so. Says, it is not correct the information you have about the sea fandom. Change your course six degrees northeast to location 26 degrees, seven minutes longitude, 18 degrees, nine minutes latitude. Jonathan Strange. Jonathan Strange? Oh, no, it can't be. He was the famous captain of the Spanish galleon, the sea phantom, the one we're hoping to locate. Yeah, it was. Jonathan Strange, dead for 224 years, lost in a gale in 1718. Yes, but not in the position this message on the slate directs us to. Oh, no, indeed. The sea phantom was supposed to have found it at 20 degrees longitude. The message says 26 degrees and seven minutes. Yes. Could this be a trick? A trick, Captain? Someone else who's heard of the immense treasure that went down with the sea phantom. Someone who's trying to steer us over a course, get to the treasure themselves. I doubt that. What do you say you doubt it, Mr. Wesson? Well, sir, we've kept the entire expedition completely secret. Not even the crew know what we're up to. We've tried to keep the entire expedition a secret. I'm positive I haven't mentioned to anyone. Nor have I, Captain Strong. When I stumbled upon the information about the sea phantom, I knew there was an excellent opportunity to recover almost a million dollars worth of gold. Naturally, I needed a boat. You were the first one I thought of. Neither of us would have had a reason for disclosing our knowledge about the treasure. That's just it. That's why I'm so inclined to believe Isaac was telling us the truth. About the thing without flesh writing this message? Precisely. Ah, that's unbelievable. Even so, Captain, you must admit that a man who's been dead more than 200 years certainly wouldn't be much more than a skeleton. Isn't that right? You mean a good heavens. You mean this message was actually written by Donovan strains himself. I mean exactly that. Hmm. I wonder. What about it, Captain? Do we change the course? I don't know. What's your advice? Normally, I'm not superstitious. But, well, what can we do? I've never believed in ghosts or spirits up to now. But that message on that slate certainly is convincing. Then you're in favor of following the instructions. Well, Mr. Wesson? Yes. Let's change the course and go to the spot the message mentions. If you're willing to take a chance, I certainly am. Yes, who's there? Well, come in and stop that noise. Oh, if wasn't Thunder's gotten into you waking me up in the middle of the night, what time is it anyway? Hey, well, sir, midnight. Midnight? A big day ahead tomorrow. Oh, confounded man, what do you want? Well, I'm standing watch alone tonight, sir. I maybe I should have told this to the captain, but I come to you first. Well? I've just sighted a boat to the port side, sir. Well, have you identified her? Oh, no, sir. You see? Well, she ain't carrying no light, sir. No light? Oh, no, sir. And she's not like any ship I've ever seen, sir. Hmm. To the port side, you say? Aye, sir. She's riding with full sail. What? Aye, sir. She looks to me like one of those old time boat you see in pictures. Hand me my boots there, Isaac. I'll come up on deck and have a look. Blow, sir, you see? Not a sign of life aboard it, sir. And the moon's full tonight. Look, man, look. What, Mr. Wilson? That name on the bow. I can't see that far, sir. My eyes are. That name, the sea phantom. Sea phantom, sir. Yes, no wonder she's carrying no lights. No wonder there's no one aboard. What do you mean, sir? Isaac, if you've never seen a ghost ship, take a look at that boat out there. Ghost ship? Yes. The sea phantom went down in these waters more than 200 years ago. Blow me down, sir. Are you having a joke with me, Mr. Wilson? No. No, this is no joke. That's a ghost ship right enough. You watch, she'll be gone in a minute or two. I beg your pardon, sir. But that boat's real. Ghost ships always look real, Isaac. But look you, sir. She's close enough to see. She's within throwing distance, I do believe. Here, this belaying pin here, Mr. Wilson. I'll try to throw it aboard the sea phantom. Good. You watch. That pin will just go through thin air. We'll see, sir. Well, here it goes. There, sir. You hear that? She is real. But that boat's so old, she should have fallen apart years ago. And besides that, she's supposed to be at the bottom of the Atlantic. She looks old enough, all right, sir. But I don't understand what you mean about her supposed to be. Isaac. Isaac. Laura boat. Yes, Khan founded a boat, Laura won it once. Are we going aboard the sea phantom, Mr. Wilson? I am, yes. Now Laura boat to the port side, and double quick about it. Stop rowing now, Isaac. He's up alongside. I'm tired of that row hanging there. Right, sir. There. All set, sir. Right. Now you stay here and watch Isaac while I go aboard. If I'm not back in a half hour, come aboard looking for me. Aye, aye, sir. Half an hour, sir. If you're not back by then, sir, I'll come aboard after you. Keep a sharp look out, Isaac. Let me know if you see anybody aboard. Aye, aye, sir. A sign of life having been here for score upon score of years, rotting timbers, sea soaked deck, twisted, tangled ropes, empty kegs with rusted hoops and warped steves, strips of time-worn sails, and canvas swaying on the masts. Everything so quiet, quiet as though in reverence the dead. Here, the hatch. Captain's quarters must be down here. Let me see what's that. An entire human skeleton slumped here in the corner of the cabin, as though a man had plumped himself up there and died. Exactly, my friend. Who's that? Did someone speak? Certainly me. But where are you? Over here. But I don't see you. There's no one in this room but myself. Yourself and that gentleman slumped there in the corner. Who are you? My name is Jonathan Strange. Jonathan Strange? You're the skipper of the sea phantom. That I am, Jonathan Strange, captain of the sea phantom, sailing with a cargo of gold for the Spanish ruler. But your boat went down in a gale 200 years ago. So history says yes, but men do not know everything. I don't understand. The sea phantom was no victim of a storm at sea. Oh, no, my friend. She was a victim of a cruel and vicious man. I still don't understand. Look, you. You see the russet iron ring there on the floor by your feet? Yes. Take hold of it. Pull the trapdoor to my cabin. That's it. Maybe difficult. Use your strength on it. To the more force now. Now that's it. There. You see? Gold. Bar upon bar of solid gold. Yes, gold for the king of Spain. And chests of coins and jewels. One day over the queen, but Jose would have them for his own. He intends to mutiny the crew and steal the treasure that had been entrusted to us. Who's this Jose? Jose Menel, a wicked and cold-hearted fiend. Even now, the crew is waiting for me to leave this cabin. They know they'll never enter here while life is in my body. But surely there's some escape. No, none. They think I remain here to starve to death. They're fools. They do not know that they're about to perish, like the rats they are. What do you mean?   Yes. Yes, I do. They cannot escape in the boats. Because I foresaw this mutiny and put the live boats out of commission. But can't you escape? No, of course not. For you to escape, you must make haste, my friend. Oh. The same way you entered here, of course. Hurry now, my friend, and take this with you. What is it? What are you giving me? You see, hurry now. There's no time to waste. Soon the ship will be one mass of roaring flames, and none of us will be left alive. Can't I take you with me? Can't you make yourself a parent so I can see you and take you along? No, it doesn't matter. But let me warn you, with my life I protected the treasures of the king and queen. Through our poor eternity, I'll guard those treasures. It will not be wise for any man to attempt to obtain them for his own. Yes, Jonathan Strange. I believe I understand exactly what you mean. That's why you brought me here to show me. Exactly. I was hurrying. Mr. Wilson, sir. Are you in there, Mr. Wilson? Isaac, is that you? I said, blow me down, Mr. Wilson. This beastly boat's a fire. If we don't get over here in the jibby, we'll be paying a visit to Davy's own block before we die, sir. Captain Strong, that's exactly what happened. By repeat, it was no nightmare. Isaac here can vouch for that. It's the very truth, Captain Strong. Word for word. So help me, heaven. And that was fair warning. Whoever attempts to get the treasures of the sea phantom is doomed. Aye, sir. Just as those mutineers were doomed 200 years ago, sir, and John, very odd. I'm amazed you or the others of the crew went awakened by the sound of the fire. No, none of us heard a sound. The men don't even know about it now. I wouldn't have known any about it myself if you two hadn't told me your story. If I hadn't seen those bits of charred wood floating on the surface this morning. It was a huge treasure, Captain. I saw it in its hiding place beneath the Skipper's cabin. And you got none of it? Not a single bit. Oh, wait. I almost forgot. Just before I left the boat, this thing was handed to me. Handed to you? But I thought you said there was nothing in that cabin but a pile of bones. Yes. Yes, that is right. But this seemed to come well almost out of nowhere. And it was placed very firmly in my hands. He's sure enough had it in his hands when I broke into the cabin, sir. Let's have a look. What? This was the ship's log. The log? Yes. The complete log of the Sea Phantom's voyage from the date of sailing right on up through the mutiny. Look, this writing. It's the same hand. The writing on my slate and the writing on this paper are the very same curved-for-curved angle-for-angle. Here, let me see. I say, Captain. Yes, Mr. Wilson. Look here, on this last page. It reads, now that it has become my solemn duty to protect the treasures which have been entrusted to me, I will send the Sea Phantom to her ocean grave together with the treasure. This is my course, as I see it. God assist me. Jonathan Strange, May 29, 1718. The Sea Phantom. Tonight's Tale of Dark Fantasy by Scott Bishop. Ben Morris was heard tonight as Mr. Wilson.

Malang malang malang What was that? I don't know. Hey, welcome back to our TV Directs. Do you have any time for it? I'm Rick and it falls on Instagram and Twitter. I've got all juicy content It's so juicy They more so some patron on film. She'll glittery come today a new trailer dropped It is a Hindi movie called Malang and it's with say these names for me. It is with Aditya Roy Kapoor Disha Patrani and El Kapoor and Kunal Khemu. I've heard some of those names before Malang. What was this? No, that's what I thought it was it sounded like Shabang, yeah, maybe no, no But it came out this morning So let's I have no idea what it is though. I didn't get a synopsis. I didn't get anything So we're going into this we're going to this blind but naked here we go Do you know But you know To my I believe it was. Interesting. There's certain parts of this that I was really interested in. I think the thing that I wasn't interested in was almost a love story. It's not something that was tickling my fancy. Yeah, I think the main thing for me was that I found for what seemed it seems to be really clean when I wanted it to be gritty. Certain parts were gritty and that's why I think the one it was like the romantic whatever they were trying to get together looked really clean and then the other parts went really gritty and stylistic choice probably. But yeah, that's the part that took me out of the trailer the most. The other parts they almost look like a if daredevil could see kind of right action like in breaking bones and great sound effects on bone breaking. Lots of like I said lots of this trailer I actually I'd be really interested in seeing. I agree. I totally had mixed I'm wondering if it's going to be more of that or if it's going to be more of the love story right or maybe the love story would be fine. I don't know. That's just that those are the first impressions I had of it. Yeah. Let me see if we can get a little more info on it. That was and it's funny it always it reminds me whenever I see people it's it just and I'm not I'm not pointing this out as a flaw in this it's just funny because it's in this and it was in war and it's in countless numbers of films where people have bodies that clearly took them a long time to get into that kind of shape disciplined diets disciplined workout regimens but the characters themselves never do any of that.  That's how I do it. You've seen my body. Amazing. I've seen you in your underwear. But yeah it has a Anil Kapoor who's the one that we recognize. Yeah a couple of people from stuff that we haven't seen but they've been in like go go gone and that's Donnie Yah, Joani, Hi, Joani and that kind of stuff there's Mohitz or I feel like we've seen that did he he directed the Ashiqui? Did he or was he a second? Yeah because I thought I'm in the thing he said it said from the Ashiqui. How do you pronounce that? I think I pronounced that one wrong a lot of the time. Why would we change it if we do? Ashiqui. Yeah Ashiqui. I'm still trying to find if there's an actual synopsi so it looks like because at the end each of them said well they're taking life and so are they all killers? Heck yeah for all different reasons one does it for fun one does it out of necessity and the other one does it just because they do it I don't know. Let me see go it is a Malang is an upcoming Indian Hindi language romantic psychological action thriller film directed by Mohitz Suri wow that's a mouthful and jointly produced by blah blah blah the film stars we mentioned them it marks Suri's second collaboration with Kapoor after Ashiqui the premise a man Aditya Roy Kapoor goes on a killing spree after his love is killed by a mysterious killer and it comes up and it comes up to a druggy corrupt policeman to catch him so thanks for the spoiler. It's probably gonna be happening in the first second of the film yeah it's that's what I'm imagining like the start is there they're in love yeah I love it oh dead dang it now I must avenge her death I'll help you um so yeah like I said I actually like I thought a lot of like certain parts of it that weren't the the love story that's the part I was kind of just out of it the most of the time and so I'm hoping that's maybe like flashbacks mostly and that a lot of people love a good love story in a film wait a minute yeah a lot you mean to tell me you think that Indians like love stories they do uh and so I'm hoping that's maybe like at the right the beginning yeah showing them in love yeah and then she gets kaput right and then he goes kaput good term like that and then she gets kaput and then she drops the bagels and everybody cries because nobody had cream cheese for the bagels that fell on the ground uh and then everybody goes ham on each other ham just goes totally basantos what do you think of it I think it's a mixed bag that's it that's it I don't know the jury's yet out on this I gotta hear what the stupid baby say about it and let me tell you if I'm watching this film I want to do a little bit of bagel and some cream cheese and some lox and some nice capers on top and some onion and tomato oh that's gonna be delicious it'll punch you uh but because if it if it comes out that's what Malang is in Yiddish bagel if it comes out to be more of just a action everybody's dying that would be I think pretty cool if it's like a fast-paced yeah something like that but if they put a a weird love story yeah and come on in that type of story yeah but you know what I'm thinking right now what you know I'm thinking right now what we're such stupid if Rithik was in this we'd go see it shows you star power no I I because if this was if this was Rithik and Tiger again no like I would see this as long as it's not mostly the the romantic crap if this was if Ranveer and Alia what uh with that exact same trailer I think we need to actually explore um uh what's his face Anil yeah oh we for sure do because he was in he was the uh slumdog guy right there yes I think so yeah I think so but there are still at least I can think of three or four off the top of my head legends um of Indian cinema that we've yet current contemporary that we've yet to really get into yeah and some that we have begun to see but really haven't seen a full enough spectrum to appreciate them the way other people appreciate them like when we just did Omkara we didn't talk about um AJ much and there were a lot of comments on there guys how can you not talk about him which it was just because it wasn't a standout thing for us but he's somebody that I feel a sense of I wonder if we're not giving him justice the way we kind of gully boy and run veer when he started you know we need to see more of his because we haven't seen much why I said in that that was my favorite performance of his I like that one more than yeah but we don't I mean we there's some people we've started to gush over in Indian cinema to be about gush over in Hollywood it's true we're gushers I everybody has biased favorite actors it's true I know but we haven't been exposed I don't think to some for sure he is one of them yeah that I think if we were to be exposed to them they might become some of our favorites maybe the way the way others have well let us know what your thoughts of this trailer are and get the bagel uh is this something that you are hopeful for or it's it's too serious so you know there's gonna be a lot of fun cool songs in it yes but uh also uh is it just going to be I'm hoping I'm hoping it's more like the action part of it than right me too all the romance me too me too in the same way that war did not need the romance item yeah we just wanted the action and the fun and yeah and if you haven't a bagel onion or everything making like kgf and kind of knew what it was yeah bunch of action yeah and it had some it had some the cheesy moments in it would have like remember the fight scene uh when he was going to get the girl oh yeah outside of the cars oh yeah it's fantastic and so they had a slight element but it wasn't this almost looked like it was like yeah the Deborah movie right the trailer highlighted the romance side of it so much it makes you feel like that's at least half of the content of the film yeah and I don't know if I'll enjoy that we'll see we'll see let us know we'll see okay


And in business news, the federal government has threatened to sanction foreign airlines in the country over their refusal to accept Naira payments for flight tickets. The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Styrica, made this known at a briefing after the federal Executive Council meeting chaired by President Muhammad Buhari. He said intelligence reports indicated that some of the airlines refused to sell in Naira, but charged ticket fares in dollars instead, in violation of Nigerian laws. I want to use this opportunity to say that some of the airlines' reports are reaching us that they are refusing to sell tickets in Naira. There is a violation of our laws, local laws, they would not be allowed. The higher and the mighty amongst them will be sanctioned in the accord doing that. NCA has been directed to swing into action and once we find any airline violating this, we will definitely deal with them. Also, they blocked the travel agents from access. They also made only available the expensive tickets and so on and so forth. Our regulators are not sleeping. We are a very vibrant Nigerian simulation authority. Once they found any airline guilty, that airline will be dealt with because we need to protect our people. It is according to our agreements to what we have signed and this is according to international convention.


I'm Chris Robb, Executive Director of Date Heritage Trust, and in our continuing efforts to bring conference participants a flavor of Miami, I want to introduce you to Bill Fuller, the owner of the world-famous ball and chain in Little Havana. Bill, can you tell our participants about your investment in Little Havana? Chris, great to welcome you here to the ball and chain. Little Havana for me was a passion project, mainly because my mother is of Cuban heritage and it was a way of merging both my interest in real estate with my passion of the heritage and really at the same time falling in love with the historic building stock, the authenticity of the neighborhood that existed, its people, which I even told today believe it's one of its greatest resources and riches, and it was the idea of working on these fine buildings and working with the people and creatives, entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, in reassembling and developing a renaissance around this wonderful street, which we have as Cayocho, and I think it's going pretty well so far. Bill, Little Havana is the second most visited place in Miami after South Beach. What has been the effect of your investment and vision for the neighborhood? It wasn't always like that. When we first started investing in Little Havana in 2004 based on what we know from the Greater Miami Convention Visitors Bureau, the visitors to the street were about 250,000 a year. So now we realize about 4 million a year, which represents about a quarter of the visitors that come to Miami-Dade. So it's been an exponential growth, but it's been a responsible growth. It's been one where it hasn't required any new large disruptive buildings to take place in the neighborhood. We've been very sensitive to the original building stock. We've been very considered of heritage businesses that have existed and families that have run those businesses for years, and we really tried to keep as much of the national tenancy out of what we call the cultural historic district. They're great, but when people come here, they're looking for something really unique and authentic. As a developer, why do you invest in historic properties and see preservation as a positive? For us, it's really in the hard drive and DNA of our company. My partner Martin, Penny and I, we are aligned on so many levels, but that being a really important bedrock of the company, that we really respect the history of Miami, of South Florida, of everything that has happened in our past is so important to keep retelling, important to keep sharing with future generations to come. All of these properties, the historic properties, and even the legacy businesses are so important to keep around and to protect and cherish. And it's just part of the message, it's part of what drives us, it drives our passion. Exploring and understanding the history is a fun part of the expedition. But then also bringing it back to life where new generations can remember what it was like to be. And as South Florida, we're in a really unique space right now because of the development, the high-rise and mid-rise entrenchment that we have coming into our community. And we're going to be under constant pressure for decades to come. The reality is that we have very scarce land in South Florida and our historic building stock is going to be under pressure forever. And so we really need to look back at our earliest building stock, which are these. Like we're sitting in today, 1920s, 30s, in some cases even 1910 that we have here in the neighborhood and really look to protect as many of those structures as we can because they do age almost like a fine wine. As I look back on the history of our Renaissance, let's say over the last 15 years, there's very specific businesses that I can point to that I think were real game changers. One of the first was a Sukut ice cream, a Susie battle, developing a Cuban-based ice cream, original one of a kind. And then came the ball and chain. And ball and chain was absolutely a catalyst. It showed fellow food and beverage operators in South Florida that we could drive very high volume numbers out of an establishment like this. And really, Coyote and Little Havana was always overlooked. It was overlooked as a neighborhood that was an immigrant neighborhood, a neighborhood that really was not at the top of the hospitality game. And all of that has radically changed over the last few years. Many of my fellow food and beverage operators top of class are now in the neighborhood. They have great concepts, continues to drive the entertainment and the traffic to the neighborhood. And I think it's going to continue to grow in the near future. What will drive the continued success of Little Havana? The success of Little Havana is predicated on preserving the people that live here. It's really, really important. They're not just talking words. It's really important that we find a way to embrace all of the different economic classes that have been part of the foundation of this neighborhood. It is what is the authentic part of Little Havana. It is what drives me and keeps us all grounded that we are part of a real community, not a fabrication. And it's important that we protect the people because without the people, everything that we have protected then becomes, in a sense, superficial. So that is really the heartbeat when we discuss the Corazon of Miami. We're talking about the epicenter, Little Havana is the geographic epicenter of all of our great neighborhoods, the Grove, the Gables, the beach, North Miami. But it's really the Corazon, the heartbeat is the people. It's that energy that's driven. It's that working force that really drives all the creative and ambition that we see in the neighborhood. Bill, tell us about the history of the Ball and Chain. Right here where we are today, the Ball and Chain, originally open in 1935, had 22 years of great history, really important on the music scene in South Florida, hosted some of the best acts in the country at the time. Basie, Billy Holiday, Chet Baker, Lena Horne, closed actually in 1957. Count Basie sued the owner, Henry Sheckman, which was an important individual at the time, maybe a little bit notorious. He was part of Meyer Lansky's group, but yet he also was the owner of the Tower Hotel, which is becoming another great revitalization project that we're working on. In 2013, we brought it back as best as we could with the storytelling as if it had never closed. If it had never closed, we would have continued to have live music. We would have continued to do it without any covers, which is the way we do it today. 90 hours of music produced live every week, and it's become really the musical heartbeat of the neighborhood. Bill, you served as a board member for Date Heritage Trust. What does the organization mean to you? I just think that as being a proud member of Date Heritage Trust for several years and watching the growth of the organization and knowing now that it's in its 50th year, it's really an incredible institution. In South Florida and Miami, Dave, we're very grateful to have the organization, all the great leadership behind it, the great members. Everybody is deeply passionate about it, and the message has taken root and has a great foundation to move forward into the future generations. Thank you.


In this video, we are going to briefly look into so-called string interpolation, which is really basically like strings acting as templates that events filled in during runtime. So let's create a new file and let's call it string interpolation. So to make an example, what we are going to do is I'm going to set a variable, let's call it name to my name, which is Alexander. And let's also go ahead and create a second variable and let's say it now it's evening, time of the day is evening. And also let's import the math module and we are in particular working with the math.py variable. So the number pi with the maximum precision that the floating point data type allows. And if you don't know, if you can't remember how the floating point numbers are not precise, how they are inherently imprecise, I would suggest you go back a couple of videos and receive that. So what is string interpolation? So string interpolation is really designing strings that are then filled in with some values at runtime when being evaluated. So there are two concepts. One is a recent addition to Python, so basically starting two, three years ago. Another one is a little bit more commonly used in code bases, but is hopefully fading out because the newer one is also kind of nice to look at. So the newer one is our so-called F strings, which is short for format strings. And then there's going to be the second category, which is going to be the so-called format method. So in the last video, we looked into string methods and the format method is a method that we have not looked into before. So let's also look into that briefly in this video. So let's do an example of an F string. So how does an F string work? Well, simply you're going to write an F and then you start the quotation mark and end the quotation mark. And now in between here, you're going to write whatever you want to write. So let's say I made this example up, hello, and then we are going to say in curly braces, name, which is going to refer to this variable here, name, and hello, whatever I say, hello, name, and then I say good evening probably. So let's do it like this, curly braces and time of day. So if I'm going to execute this cell, what is going to happen is Python is going to read this as a so-called literal because the F string is also a so-called literal notation. So in other words, Python knows that this notation means that it should create a string object with the value being derived from whatever is between the double quotes here. And now the thing is this, the F that is used as a prefix here simply indicates to Python that whatever is inside curly braces should be interpolated from variables in the environment. In this case, we are simply in the global environment, but what do I mean with environments? We have learned about function scopes and non-locals and local scopes and so on. So you should always have that in mind. So in other words, this name and this time of day variable is also looked up from the inside out. So to say if it's used inside a function, for example, but for now we are using it in the global scope and if I go ahead and evaluate that, what I get back is a string object where the value, the semantic value of the string object is simply filled in at runtime. So that's basically all there is to an F string. And this allows you to write nice looking strings in your source code and you can basically read the string code as a template. That is why I say template that is being filled in at runtime. So that is the F string example. And let's also do that for the number pi because the number pi of course is a number and let's say we want to do that. So if I say pi is and let's say we are going to use the curly braces. Inside the curly braces, you cannot only use simple variables, but you can also use a reference, for example, to a module and use the dot notation and get access to the pi variable inside the math module. And if I go ahead like this, then I get back a string that pi is and this number. But let's say I want to round this a little bit. So there is a so-called formatting language that I'm not going into too much detail in this course because it's really just like a little detail that you can look up whenever you need it. But inside the curly braces here, what you can do is you can end the math of pi by simply saying colon dot and let's say I want to have two decimals. So I would say 2f and this is the same notation that we also used in one of the videos when we talked about the float data type. And when we wanted to see how precise or what digits are actually stored inside the memory, if you remember that it's the same syntax. And if I execute it like this, then I get back pi is and the number with only two decimals. And of course, this syntax here that basically tells pi to only use the two first decimals does of course not change the number. So if we look at math dot pi after we executed the F string, it is of course still in full precision. It does not affect the outside world. Okay, so that is F strings. And let's look at how we can do the same thing using the old fashioned format method that the string comes with. So how this works is as follows. We're going to go ahead and we're going to say hello and we write simply curly braces here. Let's write the exclamation mark and let's say good. And also curly braces period. So that is now also a template. So to say if I evaluate that the curly braces just stay in there and the Python simply reads it as a string. So it simply creates a normal common string object where the curly braces are part of the semantic value of the string. However, if I go ahead and I call the format method on it and I pass to it two arguments, the first argument being the first position going into the first position here. So let's go ahead and pass to it name and also time of day. I go ahead like this, then they are plugged in just by position. So it works just like position arguments to functions. The arguments from the format method go into the same order into the curly braces. If you forget curly braces, then they are simply ignored as you can see. So you have to be a bit careful here, but this should not be too hard of a problem. And let's do some variations of that. There are two variations I want to look into with you. So let's say for whatever reasons the two arguments come into a different order. So what could you do to exchange the arguments as they will appear inside the final string? Well, you can simply go ahead and say that is my argument with index 1 and this is going to be my argument with index 0 referring to the index of the argument in the method call. And now this is going to be correct. And there is another version. Now this is now here using positional arguments, but we could of course also go ahead and use the keyword arguments. So what we can do here is I can simply go ahead and say name here. And here I'm simply going to say time. And then back here what we are going to do is we are simply going ahead and we will say name. The keyword name will be set to whatever value or whatever object the name variable is going to refer to. And at the same time also the time keyword to the method call will be set to the time of day variable. And if I go and execute this, I also get the same outcome. So these are various ways of how you can, in your source code, write nice looking and also easy to maintainable strings and use it just like templates. And at runtime you can plug in whatever you want to plug in. So this is often quite nice if you run a function many times. And for example, each time the function is called you want to print something out that is specific to this function call, then you could use that. In the notes you will see that there is a third way of doing a string interpolation, which is going to use, maybe I can give you that here as simply a header. It's going to use what we previously saw, the model operator. So this is also in syntax. So sometimes in some older code bases you also see that. So you could do string interpolation using the model operator as well. But this is discouraged in recent years because it's not so easy to read, even though it is the shortest version is definitely shorter than the format thing here. And yeah, but in recent years, people are going to revert to the F string format. So some tests in the Python community showed that the F strings are actually the fastest, but we shouldn't really care about speed in this beginners course. But the F strings are I guess the nicest one to read because they don't involve some method call after it. You can read the variable right in here. You can also put any expression that is valid Python expression inside curly braces and this will work and so on. So this is basically it. And of course also the formatting language here, the double, the colon and the dot f and so on. This could also be used. Let's maybe do one more example before we end this video. So let's go ahead and say this copy paste down this exact same example. Let's get rid of the F and also let's get rid of math dot pi. Let's simply put it in here just like this and simply use the format method. And give it method pi and we also get back pi is 3.14. So you can use the same formatting string formatting also in the F strings and in the format method. So my recommendation is try to use the F strings and if for whatever reason F strings look ugly in the source code, maybe use the format method. Don't be surprised to see the model operator in real world code, but don't use it on your own. You should always use one of the more recent versions here. Okay, so that's the concept of string interpolation, very easy concept, very valuable to know. So I'll see you in the next video.


Before we get into the video today, I just want to give a quick shout out to one of our sponsors, Gnostic TV. Gnostic TV is ancient wisdom we imagined. This is a Netflix for those who are spiritually curious and want a place to go where there is no censorship. I personally am doing a whole series on Gnostic TV called The Esoteric Explorer where I am providing exclusive content to Gnostic. Gnostic TV is a host to all sorts of different content creators, many of whom are your old favorites. If you would like to check out Gnostic TV, there is a link down in the description box below. Welcome back to a very anticipated show part two of the Stacey Peterson Disappearance which our friend Tommy Scoville, how you doing today Tommy? I'm doing great, great to be here. You know all the details you guys and so not to rehash anything guys but I will put the episodes, the previous episodes down in the description box. Please make sure you are subscribed to Tommy's channel, The Life Boat. You have an array of stuff from helping people go through recovery from talking about the judicial system and the court system which is so fascinating. All these life skills that you've developed that you're now able to help other people work through some stuff and you know what's great about you Tommy too is that sometimes these things that happen in our life especially with the court system, with rehabilitation, sometimes the officials will use words and phrases that kind of seem over read like we don't really understand as like laymen we don't understand but you're able to come in and explain things in such a way that it makes sense and it helps people to kind of understand what's going on in the world around them so I will tell you guys please, please, please go and make sure you are subscribed to Tommy's channel for all sorts of things especially if you love true crime because he did a fantastic job covering the Danny Masterson shit show we'll say finally that man got some justice so so and now talking about another man who is kind of serving justice but not totally served yet because Stacy his what third wife was at his third or fourth wife that is his third wife no he is still quote-unquote missing and he is suspected of killing her so I'm going to pass the ball over to you Tommy wherever you would expect this yeah so just a quick read just a quick rehash for anyone that that hadn't heard I ended up in a medical yard in the Bureau of Prisons because of uh some shots to the head it's a real infarction and I had a dead spot and they were wanting to monitor this so I was there's only certain yards you can go to if you have certain medical conditions so I ended up on this yard for a medical hold and so did drew and drew got a job working in the kitchen and as I was walking through one day the woman who ran the kitchen walked up and just said do you have a college education and I said I do and she said would you be willing to work in the kitchen and I said you know I'm not didn't really want a job you know I I was doing a bunch of stuff with rehab and helping guys and I worked doing a lot of law cases in the law library so I said you know I'm not really looking for it uh honestly I took the job because drew Peterson was the other person in there there was something fascinating to me about the fact that drew was there and you don't get that close to uh to people that you know sort of was in were in the public life and what was amazing is I walked in the room and the first time I met drew he looked at me and he went I know you and I went you know me and he goes yeah I know you from somewhere he's like we got to go over uh where you've lived and stuff because we've met I'm like no we haven't and he's like no I think we have him like you drew Peterson bro like if we had met I would remember meeting drew Peterson like I know who you are you know that was not a mystery and he goes well don't believe everything that you hear you know and there was a third guy standing there at the time who goes that doesn't bother me I'm a big fan of your work you know making sort of a joke the guy obviously wasn't a fan of his wife or whatever but drew uh so I got a job working with drew Peterson eight hours a day 40 hours a week and we did that for a year and a half and it was he and I in an office that was about eight feet long and about five feet uh wide so it was just two of us in a concrete box all day and we had access to uh a little bit of privilege we were we could go into the the staff kitchen and basically cook what we want when we wanted we had ultimate access to the kitchen which is kind of nice because you don't eat anything good ever in person so having the ability to eat with the cops eight was worth whatever you know you were putting up with and drew maintained his innocence through the entire time that uh we worked together he had tons of stories and every story was just about what a rock star he was I mean honestly every story was about he met pink um and uh he met this person and he met that person and he really he's a narcissist right drew is about the biggest narcissist I've ever met in my life it's so obvious within two minutes of meeting the guy that um his favorite subject is is is drew and because of that he can't shut up and he kept going over the case and telling me why he was innocent and all of that and I think I said this in the last uh time we spoke one day we were sitting there and he was talking about the minister in the case and if you're familiar with the case Stacy was getting counseling from a minister as was drew at one point they both were and drew went fu and this is a quote he told me he told the guy fu I want nothing to do with any of this you're just after my wife he thought the minister who was a young attractive guy may have had the hots for his wife and this was really starting to grate on drew it's a subject that he brought up again and again and would always say that they were effing and this and that you know so what ended up happening with this uh with um drew is that as he gets older he slips so he's sitting there one day and he goes you know when that when that minister testified against me at the trial and all the bs and he was listening to bs and he goes and stacy's bs and I went stacy didn't testify against you drew right and he goes no stacy was dead by then and and I just I as soon as he said that I went she was what drew and he goes lost when everybody says and I go no brother I go look I'm not the cops I got a year left on my sentence I'm not going to cut a deal to try to get out of prison to turn you in that deal would take two years I said you got you know you don't have to worry about me bro I said but you're slipping you know because I promise you you just told me that you killed your wife and the subject died he said I didn't kill my wife and he chuckled about it and the subject died and then one day we were sitting there and somebody had taken a piece of paper and with tape on either side and they had taped it to a blue barrel in the kitchen and they wrote on the blue barrel check this one for stacy and the reason is there's been a lot of hubbub in this case about a missing blue barrel like a 50 gallon storage blue barrel that his brother-in-law said he helped drew move and it was warm right now according to drew this is something the brother-in-law said to gain some notoriety and and I think I I may believe drew on this the brother-in-law was a drug addict when he came out with that statement he was living in a weekly rent motel the guy's kind of a mess and I don't know that he wrote a lot of this he was going from place to place to do interviews and they were paying for him to get there and paying for him to eat I think he saw this sign kind of like drew did except he didn't like this the spotlight as much which is why he kind of disappeared but the persistence of this blue barrel never went away and then one day I was on the yard with drew and it was me and drew in another guy another inmate who I've spoken to since interviewing with you and he's not too tripped out about this if we ever need him to come on and corroborate he said he would do that but the three of us were walking the yard and we were drinking right we had purchased moonshine that had been made at the facility right a guy can build from the south all about the moon shot this is the real deal this this was real deal moonshine it was made with started out with corn and this stuff was you could light it on fire and the three of us got a pretty good glow going and it was raining and there was nobody on the yard and we were walking around and there are two yards there we were on what we would refer to as the south yard and it was raining and we were just walking and talking and it wasn't me it was the third guy who didn't work with us who had met drew a few times and he goes so drew just kill your wife or what right just came out that he's like seriously man you kill your wife or what and drew goes I didn't kill my wife and I said oh no he did I said he admitted to me that he did I said he doesn't he didn't mean to admit that he did but he did and I kind of told the story and and I said and apparently she's in a blue barrel because they were joking about it yesterday in the chow hall and made reference to the blue barrel with the sign on it and drew said she ain't the barrel and for the next 15 minutes we walked around that yard and he told us what happened and his he started it by saying you guys can do whatever you want because they wouldn't they probably wouldn't believe you at this point and I don't think anybody cares that was his icebreaker now I'm going to say this too I'm doing this right for two reasons number one the feds don't care because I call them straight up right I tried to do this the right way first I tried to call the feds I met with them I talked to a couple of people they're on that they really this case as far as their concern Drew's going away and they don't seem really interested in in my opinion and trying to find Stacy but what drew did to his kids when he walked out was to say to the kids you know what your mom walked out on you and she just didn't care enough to come back and his daughter's name is Lacey and she is getting to adulthood and you know for this entire time this child has thought mom just didn't and that's what dad says the mom didn't care enough and she just walked away to be with some other dude it's not when went down so what happened is according to Drew Peterson he came down the stairs and and I'm gonna we're gonna do this and I apologize if this is offensive but I'm quoting Drew Peterson at this point you said that she came down the stairs and fucking me pumps and he said she had on a mini skirt and he said to her going to see the priest for a twist I'm paraphrasing but he said something about going to see the priest to screw around at which point she attacked him now I don't believe that for a hot second any more than anyone else listening to me does but I'm telling you what the guy told me at that point she had come at him and he grabbed her and put her in a headlock and apparently there are stairs in this kitchen or so he told tells me I've never seen the man's house but he said there were stairs in the kitchen and in the process of wrestling her to the ground to subdue her he broke her neck this is the story that he told the two of us while we walked and so I said well then what right because this woman has disappeared off of the face of the earth and there are a lot of people that have been looking for Stacy Peterson this is not a case where there weren't a ton of people walking fields they used dogs they used everything now here's what I will tell you and I will preface this by saying Drew Peterson would not be above trying to use any person that he's talking to to score a point against anyone else right so I'm just going to tell you what Drew Peterson told me Drew has owned bars right through a lot of his life yet he owned a bar several different bars over the course of the time that that he was a cop he had a girl that worked at be at this bar that he would mess around with right in spite of the fact that he was married or whatever and she would follow him basically from place to place they were quite close and this girl married they continued to have a relationship but she married someone and the person she married owned a funeral home now I don't know if I'll give you all this price and you can decide what to do with it afterwards I don't know if you say the names of funeral homes and things like this out loud we maybe you can decide what you want to do with that later I don't think it's a great idea but the the woman's name I have all it like I'm I'm that guy so I remember the name of the woman I remember the name of the funeral home I'm not looking to get any of us sued but I will happily give all that to you I gave I happily gave all of it to the feds and the thing with drew is this drew is such a manipulative piece of shit sorry that everybody that has ever interviewed this guy is in danger of like he might just hate this chick right he might just hate this woman and sees a guy getting ready to leave everything he does is is calculated but there was no reason whatsoever to tell me he killed his wife right it's counterproductive to every single thing could I think the reason that drew admitted that she was dead was because he was so busted like the day that he said that the day that he went now she was already dead like we were we were sitting like you and I are right now right and I just leaned in and went she was what drew like and it was it was that moment where he looked at me and I looked at him and there was no reason anymore for this dude to I believe for a second that I was buying any of the why you know the the crazy thing about drew is his his mission in life is to influence every person that he meets in regards to his guilt or innocence he can't shut up like he he we went to a medical yard drew if drew and shut up but this medical yard he probably could have walked the yard right he probably could have survived there because people no one was coming up to me for the first five months no one said to me you work with drew Peterson like literally not one person said that to me I never got anyone that said you know that is nothing but drew being drew has to I mean he couldn't be on a yard where he wasn't famous that wasn't so he immediately started getting attacked you know as soon as people found out who he was drew started getting attacked you know constantly there was always somebody attacking drew and you know for a guy that was a cop and obviously terrorized a lot of women he wasn't very good at terrorizing men right the guys that went at drew he was not particularly effective defending himself right and one day I got put into a position where I kind of had to defend them and it was a it was probably one of the most disgusting feelings I felt the entire time I was in prison but the guy that came in to get him came in the to the office to do it and this may not make sense to anyone else in the world but allowing him to do that in that office kind of put me in a position of being a pumpkin prison right like this is my place you just came in here and did whatever you wanted so when he came in for the beef with drew you know my thing was say bro you knock on a door right like we're in prison you don't you walk in here right this is my little lary you want to kill him that's fine it's got nothing to do with me get out of here and don't do it here kind of a thing and you know hindsight being 2020 maybe I should have just gone to the corner of the room and let the guy you know work on drew a little bit but drew got beat up a lot in prison a lot but right after I left he got yanked out of the federal system and he is no longer in the feds he got sent to the state and they will not say where right they're trying not to drew will screw that up because drew like I said he cannot not be famous that drew drew was killing people I wholeheartedly believe Drew's a serial killer I wholeheartedly believe that there are way more people dead than the number of people that they're talking about I think that I think drew killed the first time when he was in the army and I think he tried to tell me the story once and jerked the the e-brake on it right around the time he realized that he was getting into stuff he shouldn't talk about but you know drew he worked as an undercover cop right and even as an undercover cop he was very open and honest about how he used that right so women who who got in trouble had an opportunity to get out of trouble you know by screw I would drew and he this was just a guy that took advantage of every situation he ever found himself and the amazing part is it's such a case study in humanity because you run into prison people in prison bracing we've talked about this before I think off here but you can break him into groups and there's a group of people that need to be there there's a group of people that are so sick that they need to be there and Drew Peterson is one of them like greed puts people in prison and maybe they should be there right or whatever right but then there are people who are just evil um and he killed uh he killed his third wife because he just did not want to give her anything in the divorce it was that simple um he was very clear in in talking about it I don't mean that that he admitted to killing her he denied killing uh Kathleen to the to the last day that I met him he never once came clean he said he had nothing to do with that he got convicted that's the one he got came correct and you know what no one says yeah brace that what no one says is that um when they exhumed the body like the second autopsy was not a who done it it was a lay down it was a how the hell did this not get caught the first time and it amazes me that nobody yells about that you know because that was his it was bowling brick police right that's where he worked you know who covered up the Drew Peterson murder because whoever did killed Stacy Peterson yeah right that's literally exactly yeah and as you said I mean I'm not I wouldn't be surprised if there are other uh you know as as I've said before unfortunately like prostitutes stuff like that they they're forgotten people and they shouldn't be but they are and so you even wonder like if they're even more missing people in that area that he could have you know um and I absolutely think he I mean I don't think without a shadow of doubt he killed Stacy and so you're saying and we'll say allegedly guys but if anybody cares to find what happened to this woman to give this poor family closure he took the body to a funeral parlor and incinerated it right that's what he says he did yeah he said he called this girl and she said there's no one here right now if you can get here and he said he loaded her into the car he drove over there and um yeah they burned her that's what that's what they can't find the body and I said what did you do with the remains he said we didn't take the remains left them left the remains he said if you if you do this kind of thing it basically just grates down to the bottom they didn't even remove any of according to uh to drew well with that being said could the cops potentially still get DNA evidence interesting right I mean there's a lot there's a lot of stuff like that that um and here's the thing I I understand I understand that the feds in the in the day and age that we lived then right everybody would like to be famous for 10 minutes and I understand why the cops have to view everything but um like go through the go through the the prison jacket you're not going to find a lot of guys maybe cellmates right but that lived with them but I spent a lot of time with this guy right waking hours with nothing to do but talk to them um they were they weren't particularly interested in anything that a convict had to tell them and that was they said it nicely but that's pretty much how they said that and the funny thing is I'm out right right here's the deal if I was in prison and I was trying to cut a deal to get time off of my sentence right but I didn't do any of that crap I didn't wrap this out this honestly people this is for the kid right this is for his daughter because I would rather think that my mom was murdered than my mom decided she didn't want to have anything to do with me and this is a sad side note uh Stacey's mother did that yeah in real life Stacey mother Stacey Peterson's mom actually didn't run away and Drew's argument has always been this is this is in that family this is what that family does and I know he thought about it before you got rid of her I know that because of the way the gears turn in that man's head you know I know that that was something that that you know here's another thing that doesn't get brought up a lot but if you look at the timeline of Stacey Peterson and Kathleen Drew was still with Kathleen when he was starting his relationship with Stacey at that point she was a minor by the way yeah um and and he would take her to the house that his marriage house and he would be with her in the basement while his wife was upstairs was a terrible situation right but poor Stacey found herself in this because there's I promise you and I'm not trying to bum anyone out or anything else but she knew what happened because she was his alibi for uh for his uh third wife right the alibi of why Drew was not convicted for that crime or thought you know anyone thought about it was because Stacey had said he was with me at the time that that happened and he wasn't he killed that woman so he had his wife lying about so she did already knows he's a killer right and is already thinking to herself he got away with the perfect murder once right she had to be living in terror and we know uh that she told that's what she was telling the priest every time they were together he's gonna kill me he's going to kill me the priest testified to this um and this is an unusual case too if you've followed this one they allowed um basically at that trial um they allowed in testimony that they never would have allowed into any other case in history it would have been considered here say in any other case but because drew kills the witnesses right and makes them disappear the judge made a ruling that they were going to allow statements that these people had made in the past to be read into the record so basically Kathleen got to testify from the grave because she had said too that drew is going to kill me he's going to make it look like an accident and he's going to get away with it which is terrifying right i mean she told everybody this and then he did it so the people of that police department dangerous the judge even knew this man was dangerous all parties involved had to know exactly what was going on with drew Peterson and that really brings up the question you know the he had been busted as a as a uh as the crooked um drug dealer i mean a drug cop when he was working as a narc he got fired and the reason he was fired was he had set up a drug sting operation without permission now he didn't even bs that he was doing that because on those scores they'd keep the money so this was a criminal of the badge like this dude was never a cop he really wasn't there are great cops we were talking about a couple of them there are great cops on this planet that really do their job and that really get involved and they care and um but the reason that people hate cops are because of people like drew Peters like he is the example of what happens when you take somebody that just is a narcissist and a piece of crap and you give them authority over people you give them a badge and yeah the number of victims that this guy has victimized in one way or another i can't even imagine like you said prostitutes i mean this is a guy that was working drug crimes the number of women that i would imagine drew um you know assaulted or victimized he's a he's a very sick individual he really is uh it was um and you know toward the end right as i was leaving and this is just a side note because when i got there you watch how people change in prison because when i got there drew was homophobic like viciously homophobic and a lot of jokes about that um because this was a medical yard you get it all kinds right this is not a prison i mean it isn't it isn't but medical yards get everybody there you have to go you and you're only going to be there for a short period of time usually then you're going to uh to leave but we had um people who were there getting hormones right there are people on that yard and uh right before i left drew apparently changed his theory on the entire thing and moved in with a uh a trans um woman yeah right before i left that was drew's uh change and sell my it was actually our last conversation i said to him drew it did you move so and so in i said he goes yeah i go just tap out or what's the deal on that one and uh he goes no of all of the people in the unit is actually the kindest person in there i said well good for you drew i would be terrified of that trans person i'd be like i don't know yeah i mean honestly he so i've told this story i think the last time but you you buy a photo ducket for two or three bucks and drew on photo day drew would be there like the cut out that you put your arm around or whatever like every inmate there loving every minute of it sit loving every minute of it and he would he had like like stock signatures he would do on the back of the cards and he charged these guys money to do it be like ten dollars a book of stamps and he'd write on the back uh to to uh to my star pupil like a class for uh marriage counseling and things like that bad bad jokes um everything he he just it's a constant thing with him he jokes about her disappearance 10 times a day it's like he doesn't want people to forget that there's a missing girl out there and within the system there's a very large reward um that has been posted for information and uh you know every inmate drew drew seems to really uh get off to the fact that everyone is hoping to get that cash like it's drew's it's almost like drew sits there and thinks i'm worth a half a million dollars right because of this information and you know and he just he's a very sick person he did a scam from inside with the uh with the national inquirer they set up this this whole scam where drew started writing letters to a guy that had just left from prison and the i think the the it was called drew peterson stole my wife from prison or something was like the headline on uh but the guy sold the um the story for five grand and drew was going to get you know 2,500 of that kicked back to his books so he's constantly trying to be relative on the outside right the the one thing that that blows me away and i talked to the um to my friend that was walking with me that day um and i said to him uh i think if peterson did it he'd almost want the world to know for the fame you know what i mean like that always threw me off but my friend who his name is austin and he's pretty slick but austin goes the day he does the relevance is over yeah exactly it's it's what's keeping it's what's keeping him alive is the fact that she's missing and i think his biggest fear is that that's going to go away and and it didn't occur to me i mean when austin said it was like a light bulb went off but it really is that's what's keeping this alive for him is that no one has ever been able to find uh his wife and he feels like he got away with the perfect crime when it's almost like i think he knows he killed her we know he killed her he knows we know he killed her but there's no evidence so he can still keep playing that cat and mouse game to keep himself relevant and famous which is such a fucking shame because that's a human being and that's the mother of one of his children like that is so disgraceful um that he's doing that i mean i'm sure he doesn't even think about his child well look what he's done to his other kids right so his his son by uh from his his uh first marriage is raising all of his other kids and by all accounts just in case he sees this the guy's an ace oh yeah all accounts this is a great human being a really really solid human being and he's having to come to grips with with this you know he's having to come to grips with the fact that you know his his dad did this and i saw him in an interview where he said that you know this is this is a difficult thing he knows his dad's line you know i think the whole planet knows drew peterson's line i uh i have the misfortune of uh of seeing him lie right like i caught that dude mid-lie and the look on his face when i said she was what drew like there was that pause and he went last what everybody says and it was just yeah you saw it yeah well and that mask that's a that's a funny that you said that because that's a drew peterson thing like if you spend enough time around drew you're gonna see that mask drop and there's going to be like the first time drew got attacked the guy that i was there and it was we were in the kitchen and the guy that attacked him used the weapon he was trying to get his eyes like he had a a improvised homemade weapon a shake a shake and he was trying to get drew's face like he was going for his eyes but that when drew went to the angry drew um it's very it's a very different person he didn't do very well but the the that look um is something that there's also a clip of film with him where he screams at a group of people that are overhead as they're taking them out of a band and you see this look on his face and that's the look and i think that i think most people who've seen that aren't around anymore you know oh and the other thing that i think is fascinating brice is that this dude really believes he's getting out of prison no that's not a show no that is not a show that dude believes wholeheartedly he's planning what he's going to do when he gets out of prison um and by the way a little bit of justice a little bit of justice is drew is one of the only people in history in history that have ever lost a pension from the police department that's not supposed to be able to happen so that is a little bit of justice because drew would be getting 10 or 15 thousand dollars a month you know um and they and he was when he first got arrested he was living pretty good they were putting a lot of money on his books and you know he had money to burn and you know all of that and uh he lost his pension and i'm telling you uh you want to talk about what really makes that man mad the fact that his pension is gone is is that makes him more angry than anything on earth he's not even worried about it you know it's so interesting there's another there's uh the famous murder of calwita county which i've kind of talked about on my show it's uh the reason why it's such a famous murder is because they had an oracle mahali landcaster down here in the south was one of the prime witnesses because she was a fortune teller and so she could point to where the body was right and it was in like the 19 let like 40s 50s something like that so it was a very wild case and they actually made a movie a book they wrote a book about it they made a movie out of it and johnny cash played the police officer andy griffin played the murderer and june cash played mahali landcaster well the interesting thing about that it's a true story guys this guy killed a man right in broad daylight but he thought he was in maryweather county it was across the line where he kind of ruled the ruse because he was like main honcho and he kind of had the police officers under his grip but he was actually across the line in calwita county so a different judicial system but this guy and they show it in the movie when andy griffin that he literally thought he was going to get off up until the point where he was about to go to the electric chair he thought someone was going to come in and bring him home for dinner and he was the first man to absolutely be convicted to death from the testimony of two black men here in georda so it's a nice but it's the same thing he literally they showed up to the point where they're shaving his head for the electric chair he thought they were going to come get him out because he had that he was that much of a narcissist like that's that's that's true broad daylight killed someone and he was he was happy when he was happy when the supreme court uh was taking up his case and he doesn't care if he loses it was the fact that there's going to be a supreme court case that is united states v peterson like to him this was you know i mean there's no way i wish brace that i could do justice to the level of narcissism that this man displays in every single thing that he does he will tell you the same story if it's a good if it puts him in a good light the story of the day that so he went on man cow you know that the talk show was like a shock jock he's a like a lowercase howard stern kind of a thing and he went on the man cow show and uh they did a deal called who wants to date drew peterson now keep in mind stacy's missing right she's been missing maybe two months at this point three months at this point and he's going around the country and he's doing uh and they're doing this thing who wants who wants to win a date with drew peterson he and his lawyer are doing this and it's one of his favorite stories because of the reaction but you know who they were going to this is no lie right i actually saw a correspondence because he's very proud of all of this stuff but uh he was going to go on a date with um casey anthony they had set up a date for casey anthony and drew peterson and god only knows why because his lawyer did everything else he could destroy drew peterson's case but at the last minute the lawyer said maybe this is in bad taste maybe this is in bad taste a girl that killed her child and a guy that disappeared his wife we're going to go out on a date maybe this is in bad taste the guy's name is brotsky his attorney and you want to talk about that should not have a license to practice the law drew peterson's an idiot but his attorney took him on a tour of the united states to go on every talk show in the country and talk about their case he was riding that high as much as drew us if you watch the clips of film of the two of them in front of the i mean of the legal team in front of the courthouse they're cracking jokes about stacy being missing his legal team who stacy who oh she where is she like laughing about it and clowning with sunglasses on it's one of the most disturbing he is one of he's as sick as drew peterson is and that's no joke and drew tell stories of the two of them in florida going to sex clubs and like they were touring the country partying like a rock band for real that's what they were doing they were touring the country partying like a rock band if my partner went missing and he'd been missing for two months i would still be in a state of mourning and devastation trying to find and figure out what happened right if you're a psychopath you should obviously know that going around this isn't look good like this does not look good and this is a very this is a bad look right your child why aren't you consoling your child whose mother is just walked out as you claim like this is allowing women to trial and stacy's bikinis within six weeks of her missing he was dating a girl now this girl tells the story after the fact she doesn't know any of this but she's in there and he's like yeah try it on he was talking he was saying it was his ex-wife stuff not this is my missing wife stuff but the girl's in there trying on her her bikinis like this is this everything he did the crazy thing Bryce is that there is no body right there's nothing if druid shut up and gone into his house and not filmed everybody and not toward the country and gone on howard stern and all of that by all accounts the first you know there was no evidence there was nothing right he made such an or a spectacle of himself that he was he bragged that they had gone to europe and that he was coming through the airport he said and there were 13 different newspapers at the airport and different languages and he was on the cover of every one of them and he told me that no less than a hundred times and i'm not being funny he told me that no less than a hundred times and he said that as they got to uh they were joking as they were going through customs because his daughter's name is lacy lacy who is the name of the peterson that was killed by scott yeah so he was joking he was joking in front of his daughter about her name to the to the uh and he tells me the joke i said to him i go drew you did that ready a kid you know what i mean like mom's missing right i mean he's the sickest person i've ever met there's i don't feel bad doing what i'm doing i'm gonna catch crap from this guys are gonna send me emails and say you're not a convict and this and that you know that that kid deserves better crap all over me do what you do you know that kid deserves better and i'm i'm pretty cool i could have ran it on while i was in there this isn't being a rat i know and that's and that's the most important thing and i think that's and that takes his thunder away if they can so what's the town again that he wear this so we don't necessarily have to say the funeral parlor but we can say the town in case people want to it was it was one town over from bowling brook it was right near where uh where this took place and tell me actually let's just go ahead and say allegedly if you want to say the name of the funeral parlor of let we'll say allegedly i will i will send it to you and here's what here's why i'm going to send it to you and let you do it it's just because it is in business it is still open and to the best of my knowledge these two are still married so this i just on the outside chance that this is him just starting a you know what storm on a girl that that treated him bad that's my fear because the guy's slick like drew's an idiot he really is but there's a part of drew that is one of the most conniving and if this girl did him dirty like i could completely see him going you know what tom he's a tom he's a a boy scout he'll end up calling somebody right i could see him just trying to throw so and that's the that's the one thing that scares me about the entire story but the one thing i would tell you is of every part of that story the only part i am absolutely 100 convinced he was telling me the truth of uh wizard death yeah and that's the way i mean that's why there's no benefit and the fact that this woman you know i think about the other woman the woman the affair partner that he was having the affair with you know most people wouldn't would would risk having their affair exposed and not be party to destroying a body unless they were a psychopath themselves or terrified of this man well and here's the deal how could you not be so if you worked at this guy's bar right picture picture yourself and you're an employee you're at he was she was a waitress and this was the second or third place that he had owned that she had worked at so she knows he's having a relationship with a 16 year old yep right out in the open this girl sitting at the bar he had to look to the entire town of bowlingbrook illinois like he was untouchable right right wife three was in the grave no problem right she drowned in a bathtub didn't have any water in it you know there was just so much that everything about it stunk but this guy lived the life where if you go back through the cases each time he broke up with a wife or a girlfriend or whatever he'd send cruisers by the house to terrify them you know they the bowlingbrook police department had been called to his house for domestic disturbances with stacey 18 times wow 18 times okay where i used to live where i used to live if they get called someone's arrested right like the state of nevada if you get called on a domestic violence someone goes to jail it's procedure one person's leaving in jail so 18 calls 18 times now by full disclosure sometimes it was him calling the police on her and sometimes it was her calling the police on him either way it's 18 domestic disturbances they were covering for this man until he killed somebody and it seems to me to be the part of this story breaks that nobody tells like why isn't bowlingbrook police department on trial for killing stacey peterson because they killed her they let him get away with the murder they let him do all the crap that he did they went out and worked at crime scene right they went out and looked at cathleen salvia and there was no doubt i mean the the the guy that did the second autopsy said this is the most obvious like she had signs of abuse all over her body you couldn't do that you know without someone else in the room but they just covered up for them that's the part of the story that really gets missed yeah they should have ended themselves yeah okay so what i'll do tommy then i will say if there's a cop in the area or somebody who is taking this seriously wants to investigate email me at esotericatlanta and gmail.com or you can contact tommy what's your email address tommy sober s o b e r at my yahoo.com and i guess we can go through the protocol of getting your batch number making sure and then we can tommy or i can send you to tommy to get the information again yeah because there is a child out there that needs to know the truth and the healing process of that trauma knowing that your father killed and then you know tommy you're right the oldest son i saw some interviews with him and he sounds like a really amazing guy and so i have to hand it he sent me an email he sent me an email when i first got out of prison there was an email waiting for me and it was from dru's son it was a very very nice letter and he he basically was saying my dad's trying to reach out to you from prison he'd like to talk to you and i don't know whether or not you ever want to talk to my dad i'd understand if you didn't you know he was very but he said you know if you if you ever wanted to reach out to my dad you could do it for me uh i'd never took him up on that because i didn't want to uh have any correspondence with dru i did however reach out to him after the fact to say i intended to do this i didn't hear back from he may have put up an email address just to deal with me and never deal with it again right so i don't know but i did try to reach out to him because i didn't want to i uh to do this without giving him a chance to for me to tell him first but i didn't uh i didn't hear from them so yeah well he seems like a piece he's taken care of absolutely and being a dad and that's the thing too we we can't judge people by their parents because every human being has their own choices to make and their own um i know that psychopathy and narcissism can be inherited but it seems like all of dru peters dru peters his wives were all incredible people and so obviously his children inherited souls from their mothers and and so i i did yeah that's an incredible he that kid didn't have to do that he didn't have to step in and take over custody of his siblings but he did and that's and one of the and one of the kids he's raising is getting straight a's and is on us getting a scholarship to go to school like he's doing a great job raising these kids like he's really he's really doing a great job and it's yeah it's above and beyond the call and and i saw him interviewed and he said you know this that was this was the end of my life too right this wasn't his plan this isn't what he had any intention to do so you know drew drew destroyed the lives of so many people including his son who's just again you know really has has uh taken up the mantle for the entire uh for the entire family and you know uh when i was with drew the daughter was rebellious and in an age where she would occasionally let him have it on the phone and say you killed my mother kind of a thing and good he complained to me once about it and i said drew what do you think she's you know to me you think she's gonna be happy you know and you know obviously she's gonna be she's gonna be upset but maybe this you know maybe you can at least start to move forward with some closure your dad's a sick guy right but your mom cared about you to the very end you know that's what she was doing was trying to work with that priest to get out of there so she could take you know placey and be safe so it was just a bad situation all the way around sad i mean tommy this is amazing to hopefully turn a bad situation help people with closure on it and i will get you guys if you guys have any information that you want to share with tommy or myself you can contact us at the email address is or if there is somebody that wants to look into this again if you email me i'm just going to send you to tommy because he knows more about this than i do so um yeah we do and our heart goes out to anybody who's been a victim of domestic violence who's come from abuse abuse of background i mean that is an awful thing to go through and so my heart goes out to all of you guys who've been through that don't don't suffer in silence reach out no absolutely people out there that will help and before we go let me just real quickly guys i'm just gonna pull up um tommy's channel quickly so you guys can make sure that you know what it looks like so that you can make sure you are subscribed to tommy because he covers some awesome awesome stuff i actually just referred him a case myself before we started filming that i'm really excited i hope you uh take a

that you yourself can get a chance to go check out all of his um content and i will put some other channels that he's a guest on a lot too that's got some interesting stuff as well you guys because education knowledge is power and knowledge protects the more we learn from each other the stronger we are going to be as a collective and so i thank you tommy for for being willing to put yourself out there and to answer these questions and to help people understand you know the way this works all this works so yeah and i apologize my nose is writing so bad you guys i had a rough day so i've been doing this for the entire month i've been doing it for the entire month it's all good i know the conspiracy they're gonna be in the comment section i'm like guys listen out a rough day yesterday here you go anyway you guys all right well we um i hope you guys all have a wonderful weekend and we will we'll talk to you soon bye everybody


the learning sciences have provided us with valuable insight into the processes of learning and how they can be optimized. However, this knowledge has not been effectively translated into educational practice. Educators from translational fields, such as those trained at clinical and translational science institutes, uniquely positioned to bridge this gap between research and practice. In this article, we provide a primer on the learning sciences for translational researchers, explaining the unique teaching and learning environment in which they are trained, why it requires attention to learning research and its appropriate application, what the learning sciences are, how recent developments in the field fit within these principles, and how these principles can be used to inform our teaching.
