I want to speak today a message about pulling down strongholds, about overcoming spiritual strongholds in our lives. In our ministry, and in the ministry of Jesus, deliverance was normal. And not only this weekend, but we practice deliverance. But deliverance is one side of the coin. The other side of the coin is also breaking down strongholds. A very known exorcist and person who is used in the area of deliverance said that an open door is how the demons come in. A stronghold is how the demon stays in. And he outlined six strongholds. The first one is fear. It's yielding to the real or imagined possibility of impending danger, rather than trusting in God. We've seen this stronghold during the COVID, pretty common. The second stronghold is anger. It's aggressiveness based on some perceived injustice that gives away to wrath. The third one is rejection. It's allowing the act of abandonment to instill feelings of worthlessness. The fourth one is depression. It's being overwhelmed with sadness and despair to the point of hopelessness. The fifth one is abuse. It's victimization that gives away to anger and resentment. And the sixth one is self-hatred. It's intense aversion to one's self-worth that denies the worth and value of humans as unique creators of God and worthy of His love. And so Satan uses an open door like a cult, an open door like bringing demonic objects of willful disobedience or some other things to get in. But once the devil gets in into somebody's life, he usually does two things. He seeks to destroy them and build them at the same time. Destroy their life and build a mindset that even if you get the demons out, the person will still be tormented because of the stronghold that Satan has built. The stronghold that Satan builds becomes the house for the devil. It becomes his dwelling place, his resting place. And these strongholds like anger, like rejection, these strongholds like abuse, self-hatred, they do more damage to people than actually demons themselves. Devil is finite. He cannot do all of his work everywhere at the same time.  And the Bible has a lot to say on how for us to pull them down. If you have your Bible or if you have an app, a Bible on your phone, I want us to go together to Corinthians, 1 Corinthians chapter 10 and verse 4 and verse 5. We also want to remind you that all of our notes on the U-Version Bible app and sometimes it's very difficult to write everything down. All of them are there and you can save them to your phone. 1 Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 10 and verse 4 and verse 5. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God. For pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Historians say that Corinth was an Asian city. There was a hill of 1,857 feet high. On the top of that hill was a fortress and that fortress had walls around it and inside of that fortress was a tower and people were there in that fortress who were really there like the commanding center of the city. And so there's a picture behind if you could be kind to put a photo behind me of something. It's not like that but there's something like that where on the top of the hill there was a wall that protected a tower and in that tower and in that little fortress lived people who pretty much ruled the city of Corinth. And so it was elevated, it was high and so if you see the Corinthians how Paul is describing he says to pull down the stronghold anything that is exalted itself against the knowledge of God bring that down and to take every captive meaning like a soldier that's running the whole show from this commanding center they're no longer going to be commanders but they're now going to be captives bring them into captivity of Christ. So Paul is describing actually someone's mind. As you're looking at the physical picture I want you to imagine that's really what happens in the mindset. A stronghold has three factors in it. Walls, towers, towers, I'm sorry not towers. They sound so alike. Towers and captives. Somebody say walls, towers and captives. Who are not captives when you meet them, they are captives when you meet them but you have to turn captives into captives. Somebody say walls, towers and then captives. Walls speak of lies. Towers speak of things that are exaggerated in our mind. Not exalted to God because anything that we exalt that is not God is exaggerated. Only God can never be exaggerated when he's exalted. You can never exaggerate God. You can never exaggerate God's promises, God's power and God's goodness but you can exaggerate the sickness, you can exaggerate your circumstances you can exaggerate your past and you can exaggerate yourself. Come on somebody. And so there are walls which are lies, there are towers, things that are exaggerated and then last one is the thoughts that are currently the captives but they have to become captives. And so that's what we're going to talk about right now. If you take your notes, write this down. The spiritual walls are built with lies. Spiritual walls are destroyed by the truth. In other words, spiritual walls are broken down when we confront the lie and conform to the truth but spiritual walls are built when we conform to the lie and criticize the truth. Strongholds are built with lies.  It's just something that is contrary to the truth. For us as Christians, the truth is not the fact. The truth is not what we see and what we feel. The truth is what God's word says. For us as Christians, the truth, the Bible says, Jesus says, I am the truth. So God's word is the truth. Everything else is not. And if what God says contradicts what I feel, then what I feel is a lie. If what God says is the truth and what I see is contradicts, then what I see becomes a lie. Because opposite of the truth is not reality or facts, it's the lie. And so what the enemy does is he wants us to reject the truth of God and build our mind with our feelings, with our facts, with our reality and call that truth. My friend, just because it's true, it doesn't make it truth. Your feelings are true, but God's word is the truth. The sickness in the body is true, but the healing in Jesus' body is my truth. The fact that I fall into my past sin is true, but it's what Jesus said is the truth. So what many people do is they take what is true and make it truth. And that's how the lie is formed. Let's take Israel, for example. God calls them an army, but they call themselves grasshoppers. In fact, Scripture says in Exodus 6, verse 26, these are Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their slaves. That's not what the Bible says. When they were slaves, God called them, bring them out according to their armies. God already saw them as an army. You see a little bit later in Exodus 12, verse 41, and he came to pass at the end of the 430 years on the very same day, it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. God didn't call them slaves. He did not call them losers or victims. He called them the armies of the Lord. We see later on again and again, but I want you to see how they saw themselves. Numbers 13, verse 33. When we saw the giants, the descendants of Enoch came from the giants. We were like grasshoppers in our own side, and so we were in their side. They're saying we were like grasshoppers in our own side, and they also saw us as grasshoppers.  The truth is what God said. What you feel, what you see, what the doctor's report says, what your coach said, what your ex said about you is true. But the truth is God's word. Lies are things that are true. They're just not the truth. And when they become built brick by brick, thought by thought, word by word, they become a wall in which we have a demonic stronghold of fear, demonic stronghold of anger, demonic stronghold of abuse, demonic stronghold of self-hate, demonic stronghold of rejection. Nobody likes me. I am worthless. I will never succeed. And then we have these confirmations. The circumstances seem to line up to confirm our dominant thoughts about ourselves. In reality, all of that is demonic scandal. It's demonic agenda. It allows things that are true, that are not the truth to penetrate, feel and saturate our mind. And today we have a wall. And God wants to break down the walls of lies. You may not, you may feel like a grasshopper. You may feel rejected. You may feel abandoned. You may have been rejected. You may have been a person that has been even victimized. But you must understand as a Christian, what God says now determines your truth. And so you have to fight against the lie. You have to resist the lie. And you have to receive and assist the truth. Not only God said to them that they were an army and they said we're grasshoppers. But God also said about the promised land. He says the promised land was land, good, large and flowing with milk and honey. Did you know what they said about the promised land? It's the land that devours its inhabitants. So God says it's a good land. It's a large land. It flows with milk and honey. And they said it's the land that eats anybody that steps on it.  Now that's scary. What happened? There is a truth. And there is also fear. Lies. They despise the promised land. What does that teach me? Is that as a Christian, when I get delivered, when I get saved, I have to adjust my attitude toward God's truth. I have to adjust my thoughts, my words to what God says. Even if temporarily, currently, it's the furthest thing from being true. Even if there is a conflict between what God said and what I feel, I have a choice to what do I conform to? The truth or what is true? The conflict, my friend, gives me a choice. The conflict does not pull me to the lie or the truth. The conflict is the fork in the road. Now I have to choose what do I conform and what do I confront? What do I adjust and what do I attack? Because the moment I adjust to the lie, I will attack the truth. The moment I conform to the lie, I will be uncomfortable with the truth. I will criticize the truth. I will make fun of the truth. I will say those people are crazy. They believe stuff they don't see. They believe stuff that is not even real. You will begin to criticize the very thing. Why? Because when you adjust to the lie, you're scared of the light. It hurts your eyes because you're so used to the dark. You said, turn that off.  That nobody cares about you. Your life will mean nothing. That you have no plans and you have...  That you rejected by everybody.  Or you will never have this and you will never have that.  That's the truth. My friend, what God says and what we feel will always contradict. Which creates a conflict. And in this conflict, we have a choice. God doesn't make this choice for us. Devil cannot force us. God will stand on one side and say, come this way.  And the devil says, no, but this is easier. You have to do nothing. Just walk in this path and you don't have to confront lies. You just be as things are. Just let it flow. Let it go. Let it flow. And the life is going to end up where you don't want to go. And then you're going to blame God because he lets you be like that. You're going to blame people because they don't love you. You're going to blame the doctor. You're going to blame Trump. You're going to blame Wall Street.  But in reality, my friend, God wants us to adjust to the truth and attack the lie. Adjust to the truth and attack what is true, but it's not the truth. Can somebody say amen? Israel said the land is going to eat us up. Can I ask you a question? Do you despise God's promises in your life? Do you despise your family? Do you despise the process you're currently taking? Do you despise prophetic words? Have you despised God's peace? Have you despised the small little good things? Because you don't allow God's truth to become the stronghold, but the enemy has built a lie. It has infiltrated your attention. It has infiltrated your confession. And it has infiltrated your attitude. And today, it's the spirit of your mind, meaning it's the atmosphere of your inner being.    In fact, nobody can have a conversation with you for more than 60 seconds without the real you showing up. Without the blame games sticking in. Pretty much, you are now that person. It's no longer what happened to you. It's now who you are. Nobody wants to be friends with you. Nobody wants to hire you. And you use all of that that people are doing to you as a confirmation that you were right. What would Israel do? The moment they came to the Lord and they said, we can't take the land. The land will eat us. God, it eats people. It's like the horror film. The land eats people. We are like grasshoppers. We're nobody. But God says the land is good.  I don't like it. It eats me. That's what God says about your spouse. You say, your spouse eats me. God says that's a good spouse. Come on honey, no Lord. You gave me a crazy woman. You gave me a crazy husband. My God says I want you to conform to the truth. Don't conform to your spouse. And then this is what happened. They came, they complained, they whined. And then this is what happened. The Bible says, and then they said. And they presumed to go up unto a hilltop. Nevertheless, the ark of the covenant of the Lord and Moses departed not out of the camp. Then Amalekites came down and the Canaanites, which dwelt in that hill and smote them. And this discomforted them. And even unto Horma. Numbers chapter 14 verse 44 and verse 45. Then they went to fight. Only to have their suspicions and presumptions confirmed that they are losers. And guess what happened? They lost the battle. They just got confirmed. They're not meant to win. They are grasshoppers. Lent does eat people for lunch.  Because when you lost a battle here you will always lose a battle in life. Why fight for your marriage if you already lost that in here? Why fight for prosperity if you are poor here? Why even go to college? Why try to win a battle on the outside if you have surrender to the battle on the inside? Why fight Amalekites if you don't first fight your own attitude? Why first do that? Because when we lose a battle mentally, we will lose a battle as a military. They lost it as a military and they lost it here. I've seen this more than I can count. In fact, I live this myself. I was that person. I was negative. I was convinced nobody loved me. And I had evidence to prove that. It's my face. I did not like how I looked. And the crazy part is this. The more I said that about myself the more I felt that the more information happened on the outside to confirm that.  That my life will mean nothing. I will never succeed. I will never be of any value to anybody else. And all of that was just like my testimony. See that person said this. Those people kicked me out. Those people never invited. That person never even acknowledged. I don't like it. And all of that I used that to confirm what you believe about yourself is true. My friend, because any time you allow that lie to come in the devil will always send you testimonies. Your personal confirmations and Israel just had one they lost the battle. Why? Because they lost it here first. My friend, what I want to encourage you is to take the walls down brick by brick. It won't happen through one message. And it might not even happen in one year. But if you will begin to practically, few things. Commit to the truth. Somebody say commit to the truth. Commit to study the truth. Commit to memorize the truth. Commit to fill yourself with the truth. You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. Somebody say commit to the truth. You might still not feel it. You might not believe it yet. Commit to reading it, studying it The second thing is this. Is conform to the truth by confessing it. Not feeling it. Your feelings will not be there yet. Meaning you conform your mind to the truth by confessing the truth. You might not feel strong say let the weak say I am not weak but strong. Let the poor say I am blessed. I am rich.  Instead of saying what you feel say what you know. Conform your mind. Begin to adjust your mind slowly but surely. You might have still the same attacks. You might still have the same problems. You might still feel like it's the same life. And what God says is not truth. But if you will begin to commit to study the truth. And then conform your mind by confessing the truth. And the last one is you have to confront the lies by the confession. When the thought comes in you're worthless say devil let me stop you right there. No.    I'm not. Bye bye. You confront the lie. You confront the lie.  Stop talking about yourself like that. Because that is not about me. I don't know who you're describing but that's definitely not me. Maybe the old me but that died on the cross 2,000 years ago. The new me is a new creation in Christ. I can do more all things through Jesus Christ. I'm more than a conqueror. Talk to my hand because my head doesn't hear you. You have to confront that. And you have to stop people in the tracks and say no no no no. That is you not describing me. You're describing you but not me. Because people always see things not the way they are the way they are. So just because they're angry at you in reality they're really angry at themselves. Hurt people hurt people. Are you with me? Somebody say walls of lies. So the strongholds are built with walls of lies. The second I want you to say this with me say towers of exaggeration. In Corinthian it says this. It says we not only bring down the stronghold. So that speaks of breaking down walls. But then he says now we're climbing the hill and there is a tower. It's a command center. It's kind of like we have an airline tower that controls the traffic of the airplanes. We have also other towers in the city. It's people who make very important decisions. But we also have a tower in our mind. It's built by exaggeration. So Paul is saying we have to bring down anything that is exalted above the knowledge of God. Israel and these spies they also had a tower that they built. They exaggerated the giants. Now giants were big. No question about it. The reference to the descendants of Enoch as Nephilim's was designed to install fear in the hearts of Israelites. The Nephilim's the fallen ones as noted in Genesis chapter 6 verse 4 were the offspring of the sons of God, angelic beings or divine warriors and the daughters of men. The Nephilim were of large statue but they would have been destroyed by Noah's flood. So it's the best to conclude that frightened spies have exaggerated the giants. The real, real giants died already. They were not there. They died in the flood.  What is that tower? It's when we exaggerate the status of our problem. And why does that happen? It's very simple. When you don't exalt God you will always exaggerate the problem. If we don't exalt God we will exaggerate our giants. The best way not to exaggerate the problem is to exalt God. Because when you exalt God you always have a proper perspective on your problems. Have you ever been on the airplane and as the plane goes up all the houses become smaller? You begin to see from a perspective of an elevated altitude. When you exalt God problems become their normal size. Small. When you exaggerate the problem you're building a stronghold called a tower right in the middle of the stronghold. And Paul is saying in Corinthians to bring down everything that's been exalted my word is exaggerated above the knowledge of God. Sickness is real but so is healing. Weakness is real but so is the strength of God. Your sadness is real so is the joy of the Lord. What you're going through is real but so is where you're going too. Oh but I'm in the valley but so are you going up to the mountain. Egypt but you are going to the promised land. There is always something to exaggerate and there is always someone to exalt. If you choose to exalt His name your problem will become smaller in your eyes.  If you exalt the promise of God the power of God the peace of God and give God glory due to His name you will be delivered from exaggeration for the devil any credit. You will have nothing left for the devil. You may say why is he jumping I'm just excited. Come on somebody. Exalting God brings peace exaggerating giants brings pain. The Bible says the moment Israelites exaggerated their giant guess what happened. They started to weep and cry and wail.  Every time we exaggerate we will have suffering. Internal self-inflicted pain but how many of you ever been in the presence of God. You exalted God. Problems are still the same. You may still have the same sickness and still the same child that is misbehaving but you walk out and there is one thing that exalting God does he doesn't always fix everything at once but you have Shalom Shalom you walking the storm is raging the peace is alive inside of you there is a sense of all is well with my soul. Everything is going to be alright. You are looking at your spouses God got it. Everything is good. You are crazy. When you exalt God he gives you peace. That passes understanding surpasses knowledge. Meaning God he just skips over it doesn't make sense to be peaceful at this point. It doesn't make sense to be calm at this season. You should be scared angry. You should react but God's peace because it comes from exalting God. Exalting God also causes us to delight in good things. Exaggerating our giants causes us to despise good things. When I exalt God I begin to find pleasure in God's promise and enjoy God's process. I'm not there yet I'm not where you are at. I'm not where you, him, her or there but if I know I am in the center of God's will and I know one thing God is a moving God I rejoice in the process. I don't just rejoice when he opens the door I dance in the hallway. Why? Because I am in the process. You don't despise the process and the promise because when you're exalting God you have a joy in the process. You know that yes we used to be but it's not where we used to be and the best part is God is moving us forward. God is moving us forward out of our dead. God is moving us forward we're going to have our own house. God is moving us forward we will have children. God is moving us forward our children will serve God. God is moving us forward my parents will serve God. God is moving us forward we will not live this unhealthy we will be physically healthy.  Why? Because I delight in the promise I delight in the process. When you exaggerate the problems you will always despise the process you will hate the process and you will typically despise the promises of God. If we don't exalt God we will exaggerate our past. What did Israel do? The moment they started to exaggerate their problems they started to also exaggerate how good life was in Egypt. So why did you all cry to get free from Egypt? See when you lose the attention of God you begin to exaggerate the good and the bad of the past especially the bad. People begin to remember man my life on drugs that was so fun really? Because that's not what your testimony said that was so great man at that time before that was so great and the crazy part is when they got to the promise land they were understanding how good the wilderness was but in the wilderness they always complained that it was bad hoping to go to Egypt they go to the promise land and they are saying oh man but the wilderness it would have been better to die in the wilderness when they were in the wilderness they said it would have been better to die in Egypt come on make up your mind what do you want to be? Why? When we don't exalt we exaggerate. So the best way to build a new stronghold of righteousness in you is through exaltation of God keeping in infiltrating your mind begin to worship because worship is warfare because worship what it does is it brings down exaggerations and it begins to exalt God and you can never you can never exaggerate God by exalting him come on somebody amen and practically how we do that is we exalt God's presence we enjoy the present and we exercise patience in the process now lastly I'm going to bring this to you. Are you still with me? So the walls of lies somebody say the towers of exaggeration and the last one is the thoughts to be taken captives I want you to write this down you're either captive to your thoughts or you will keep your thoughts captive your thoughts you can't erase them like the Bible says Paul says when we go up to the mountain he says we're going to bring down the strongholds meaning we're going to break down the walls of lies he says we're going to take down the tower of exaggeration and we're going to exalt God come on and then he says this there is these little commanders running around in that hill they are calling the shots they're the captains right now and Paul doesn't say we're going to execute them watch this, Paul does not say we're going to take them out we're going to he says this we are going to turn them into prisoners so we're going to take captains and take them and make them captives so that means that as a Christian when you begin to take down the strongholds you must understand few very simple practical things one of them is this we have to capture our thoughts before we make them captive that means that we have to before we take our thoughts captive we have to be aware of them which is called mindfulness listening to your words because they reveal your thoughts and ultimately what is in your heart before you take your thoughts captive you have to become aware of what they are you are not your thoughts your expression of your thoughts you are a spirit not a mind you have a mind and as a Christian you can control your mind not the other way around now the world today believes most of the world and your mind is the same thing so your brain the biological part and your mind is the spiritual part and they're saying it's the same thing even though there's more scientific studies that have been proven already that your brain is not your mind a brain and a mind is the same thing as a piano and a pianist your brain is the piano your mind is the pianist your brain doesn't control you you control your brain that's why the Bible would never tell us think on these things it would just say whatever your brain thinks just let it think the Bible says to us that we can play the keys of our brain not that the brain plays on itself and we're like oh my gosh I don't like the melody God says if you don't like it change what you're putting on those keys you can change your thoughts because you are a spirit and the Bible says take our thoughts captive not be captive to our thoughts but take them captive but to take them captive we have to be aware of what they are what are those dominant thoughts what are the default thoughts why do you quickly automatically by default without thinking think the first thing when they do that when that happens why is the first thoughts out of your soul and out of your heart you capture that you can captivate it until you capture it meaning you oh ok that's what the thought is coming that is the dominant thought you begin to identify it the second thing is we should train our thoughts instead of trusting them many people trust their thoughts Bible tells us to teach our thoughts your thoughts cannot be trusted never in the Bible we will see to trust your thoughts we trust the truth not our thoughts your thoughts are unpredictable your thoughts they are a lot of times the enemy we go into the hill and we make them captives not friends captives that means we train them we subdue them we handcuff them we don't trust our thoughts people who live in the spiritual strongholds are this thoughts as God's word a thought came into my mind it must be true not everything that is in your head is true the Bible says a man should not trust his heart because a heart is deceitful above all things we trust God with our thoughts we train our thoughts David says he trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle your thoughts need to be trained the same way your muscles are need to be worked out you cannot live a slave to your thoughts you have to make your thoughts a slave to you can somebody say amen oh but I can't do it that's a lie because God's word says you should God will never ask you something he doesn't give you strength for if you are born again you can if you are born again you should and if you are born again with the Holy Spirit it won't be easy but it's possible and that's what the word of God teaches us and I'm gonna finish it with this I'm gonna explain the word think think how to think and we're gonna take the acronym from that T stands for test every thought H stands for helmet of salvation meaning you live consciously that you are safe I stands for imagine great thoughts meaning begin to fantasize good things imagine great thoughts N stands for nourish your mind daily and K stands for keep on learning so we test our thoughts we imagine good thoughts and we begin to proactively live our life so that our mind is not a junkyard it's not a garbage dump that our mind is not a place of restlessness but a place of peace a place of prosperity may God put his wall protection around our mind may God build a tower that the righteous man can run into and hide called God's word and may God have angels and our thoughts running and doing God's bidding in our mind and every once in a while when they misbehave we discipline them kindly spank them and get our thoughts in alignment amen I want us to pray for that today we are right now in the season where a lot of spiritual warfare is happening to people we're in the season where a lot of people are in fear where I've met more people in the last two weeks who can't sleep at night that honestly I remember meeting in the last two years there's a lot of conflict that happens and I'm not gonna blame everything on us but definitely we have a role to play in walking in our freedom walking in our dominion it's time to fight back it's time to pull down the strongholds of lies it's time to look at what tower have I built by exaggerating something that is not in line with God's word and bring that tower down it's time to take every thought that you have ordained as a chief of police and a captain and a sheriff and you gave them unlimited authority to do whatever they want and you trust every word without questioning them you take those thoughts and you say sit down you're stripped from your authority give me that badge back why you're a lying thought you're not truthful you say whatever you see on the news and on Facebook you are not and you're not even good to me so from now on I'm not working for you you are working for me I'm gonna teach you the word of God I'm gonna teach you what God says and you're gonna think lovely thoughts things that are good and of good report lovely and just and noble you're gonna act right why because you are gonna be my captive I'm no longer gonna be your captive amen let's begin to pray right now but the first and foremost what I want to do right now is I want

Hey, welcome to the tea of the day today. I've got just a nice mixed berry tea I'm not sure I'm a big fan of this one. I wonder why it's got just Elderberry dried raspberry blackberry blueberry apple rose hips strawberry fruit granules Which is a bit odd, but this is why you have to really read Labels because even though this is a loose leaf tea It says that it has like a sodium alginate, which is a thickening agent in it And it also has some various flavoring and that flavoring ain't the best. I'm telling you This tea's just kind of I even gave it the proper time to really settle in but I think because of the blackberry and the blueberry It's kind of overwhelming it and with these other lighter berries. It's just not balanced. Well, it's kind of Sorry bad tea Hmm


Hey guys, welcome back to Six Sister Stuff. Today I'm sharing with you three healthy instant pot recipes. So I know what you're thinking, it's not Monday. So every Monday I usually post a new instant pot recipe, but today is a little bit special because I am teaming up with Jared from Tone and Titan and he is going to be sharing with you three side dishes that go with my main dishes. So he's going to make three instant pot side dishes. I'll make three instant pot main dishes and they go perfectly together. Now if you haven't seen Jared before you can find him in the description below. His is Tone and Titan and he shares all kinds of exercise tips, eating healthy tips. He's the one that got me back into shape after I had a baby. So he is one of my most favorite people to watch on YouTube. Now here's the fun part. Not only can you go to his site and check out the three side dishes that go with my recipes, we are also teaming up together to give away two instant pots. Now if you don't have an instant pot, this is the perfect way to get one. So all you have to do is go to the link right in my description and it will lead you to the giveaway. That's it. If you're already following me, you're already halfway there. All right you guys let's go to the kitchen and make these healthy instant pot recipes and don't forget go check out Jared's channel and check out his healthy side dishes. Now the first recipe I'm sharing with you is lemon chicken. Now we're going to push the saute button first and add two to three tablespoons of olive oil right to the bottom of your instant pot. Now I'm going to spread mine around a little bit because we're going to put our chicken right on that oil.  So I have three. You can do four chicken breasts. Oh actually there's two there. I have four chicken breasts that I'm putting in my instant pot. Two are frozen together so I'm just going to let them thaw as we go. So now it's time to season them. I love garlic salt so I put garlic salt on my chicken. Next we're going to add a little bit of paprika. I love smoked paprika but I am all out today and just add a little bit of salt, a little bit of pepper, and one of my favorite Italian seasoning. Just a little bit of that on top. Now I am searing the chicken. That's what I'm doing. So that's why it's on the saute button. Then once it's cooked a little bit we're going to flip it to the other side just to sear in all those delicious flavors. So I cook them about two minutes on the first side. I'm going to cook about two and a half, maybe three minutes on the next side. Oh look how good that looks. Nice and brown. Now while these are searing I'm going to chop up some onions and some lemons so I can put it right on top.  If you don't like it as much just chop up one. Okay we're taking the chicken out of the instant pot. Now it's still not cooked all the way through but we're going to get the rest of the stuff in the pot so it can all pressurize together. So I'm just adding my lemons and my onions into the instant pot. Then add a clove of garlic or just one teaspoon of minced garlic and just kind of mix those together. Now my button is still on saute. Okay once the onions start to brown a little I'm going to add one cup of water. You can also use chicken broth. I was just out of chicken broth so I'm using water. Okay I'm going to add my four chicken breasts right back in on top of the onions and the lemons. Now because I love lemons so much I'm going to put my second lemon on top of the chicken so the flavor will seep in from the top and the bottom. All right now we are ready to cook the chicken. So put your lid on make sure that when it's on your knob is on sealing not venting sealing. Now because I've already seared the chicken I'm going to have to push cancel so the saute button's off and then push manual and I'm only going up to 10 minutes. Now if you don't sear the chicken you need to go to 20 but because I seared it I'm going to 10. Now when your chicken is all done you'll have that little show up. Now I let it sit for about 10 to 13 minutes and then I did the rest of the quick release.  Now I like a little bit harder edge so I broiled mine in the oven for about two minutes just to get the hard edge. All right my next recipe is barbecue salmon. Now I'm going to start by just pouring one cup of water right into my instant pot. Now this little trivet came with my instant pot if you don't have one that's okay dude you can make it without it. So I put my salmon into a piece of foil I got this idea from one of you who commented saying you should make your foil like this so I'm giving it a try. So I'm making my foil as like a little bed and then I'm going to add my seasonings to it. So as you know I love garlic salts I could eat it on everything. Next I'm just going to add barbecue sauce. Now I know what you're thinking this is going to be weird but I'm telling you barbecue salmon is my favorite way to eat salmon. Now you want to spread the barbecue sauce all around so it will cover everything then I'm going to take my foil and just stick it right into my instant pot. Now if you don't have a trivet make sure your foil is high enough so the water can't get in you could put it right onto the bottom just you just don't want it to leak through your foil. Okay the lid is on you're closing it like I said before we want it on sealing so it will actually pressurize and cook correctly and then we're going to set the timer oh not 50 minutes all the way down to three minutes. Now when it's done cooking the little L will appear and so it's been done cooking for about eight minutes. I usually do between five and eight before I do the quick release. Now once it's done pressurizing just go ahead and take the lid off and your salmon should be completely done. Now because of one of your suggestions I thank you for it because I can just pull my salmon right out of my instant pot and there is no mess. Now again I like a darker salmon so I'm going to put a little bit barbecue sauce on it and stick it in the oven to broil for about two minutes. I love to serve mine on rice and put a little parsley on top. My last one is easy pulled pork. Now you can have a one to three pound pork here I'm going to add of course my garlic salt and then one can of diet Dr. Pepper. Now I know this isn't the most healthy but it's a little healthier than just plain Dr. Pepper. Okay then we're going to add sweet baby raised barbecue sauce about one cup right on top of your pork. Now you are welcome to add other seasonings too but I love this recipe because it really you can make it with three ingredients and it's so easy to throw together. All right put in the lid on we're going to sealing again because we want it to pressurize. Now we're going to push manual and go up because three pounds I usually go 50 to 60 minutes. This is a two pound pork so we're going to 50 minutes. Now I let it release on its own for about eight to 10 minutes then I just switch it over so I can get rid of all the rest of the pressure so I can open the lid. Now if you open the lid and your pork isn't cooked all the way the good thing about the Instant Pot is you can put the lid on and cook it some more. Now I want my pork to shred easily for this shredded pork recipe. Now once it's done shredding I'm going to stick it back into my sauce and let it sit there for about 20 to 30 minutes. I mean if you need it sooner that's fine but I like to have it soak up the flavor. Now you can serve this on buns I put a little extra barbecue sauce on top or you can serve it over your favorite salad. And don't forget Jared and I are giving away two Instant Plots to our followers so go ahead and go to the link in the description so you can enter. You're not going to want to miss this giveaway. Alright guys thanks for joining me today and come back on Monday for a new Instant Pot recipe. Alright see you later. Bye!


Jack Kavanaugh and I just met but we have something in common and that is that in the early 80s We were among the first patients that had micro fracture by Dr. Richard Stevan, which was a little bit controversial when he started doing it But I want to step back from that for one second when I went in to have my x-ray I had some scars on my knee I'd had surgery before just like you had had surgery before and that the x-ray technicians said to me Oh, you've had somebody else do your work once you've had the rest It's time to see the best and so you had some problems that dr. Stevan fixed problems caused by other orthopedic surgeons. Yes, that's correct Actually, I had a fracture and the fracture they're not heal well and ended up causing a significant issue on my knee I was told by the experts in the profession in several cities That it was hopeless and that I needed to have any replacement I was still quite active in sports at the time and that's the last thing that I wanted This is over 30 years ago knee replacements were pretty new things then they were new and even today I'm a doctor also not orthopedist But even today knee replacement is only a temporary fix and you have to have another one if you can be active a number of years later And it certainly is much more limiting than your own joint would be so did dr. Stevan's work changed your life Oh, absolutely He kept me from having a knee replacement and it's now 30 years later and I'm able to do my everyday sports and I'm looking forward to many more years of that as a doctor yourself. How do you respect dr. Steadman? Well dr. Steadman is absolutely unique because what he does and what he did do is he looked at every patient as an individual There are a lot of these what I call orthopedic mills where Orthopedists will do tending replacements every Monday morning every surgery that dr. Steadman did Was uniquely designed for the that particular patient's issue and if it was a Microfracture it was a combination of microfracture and others Then he would do that and whatever time it took to do that he did that so I have sent Dozens and dozens of patients and dr. Steadman that were also told there at the end of the road they needed to have knee replacements and So many of them many years later are in sports walking around running enjoying their lives because of dr. Steadman a couple of white-haired guys who are athletic activities today to dr. Richard Steadman. Thank you jack Kavanaugh. Thank you so much


In California and much of the Western U.S. is really dry and we're desperate for water all the time as our population increases. We've identified a windfall bounty of water, a much larger pool of fresh water here in California especially right here in the Central Valley than people know about. And much of this groundwater that hasn't been accounted for is between about 1,000 and 3,000 feet. And we identified this pool of water about three times more than the state thought was there using historical oil and gas records. Only people don't look for groundwater below a few hundred feet or so. So the previous estimate for California that the state uses only went down to at most 1,000 feet and in many places in the state quite a bit shallower than that. A second result that we found was a surprising amount of oil and gas activity directly into these freshwater aquifers. Companies inject volumes of water with chemicals and sand and other things in them to crack open the rock that holds the oil and gas. And it's those chemicals that could be left behind and the other things in that water that's injected that are of the concern. Another thing we do is use wells for injection. We inject wastewater back underground. How are we going to use this windfall, this bounty of water that we've identified? What safeguards will we put in place to protect it? In the Central Valley in Kern County, which is the breadbasket of the U.S. and also the core of oil and gas drilling in California, we found about one-fifth or twenty percent of the cases of drilling and chemical injection and oil and gas activity in fresh water drinking quality water. So, we're not talking about a small percentage of cases, we're talking about a lot. The oil and gas industry is essentially the only industry that's allowed to inject chemicals directly into drinking water. We should talk about whether that's in the best interest, especially if states like California where water is so precious.


good morning. Hello. How y'all doing? Excellent. Y'all doing good. Yeah. Y'all doing good. I went to the cottage this week. Oh, I could have used a couple days of the cottage. Well, I left Wednesday night and came back Friday morning. So it's a nice little mini escape. Boy, and a lot of it was in the hot tub. Oh, it was. So yeah, I had a good week. You guys have a good week? Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. And Greg, do you have any Jewish roots? That's our question of the week. Not that I found and I doubt it. Yeah. Not that you found and you doubt it. Based on what I know about my family. So I don't have any in either my adoptive or biological family unless it's super, super way back. Right. Yeah. And that was a lot of this discussion in the in the chat and the information that the in the talk and the GDG post. But the question of the week, do you have any Jewish roots? And one of the answers was really good answers, like just like nearly everybody does. Fair enough. Technically. Yes. Yeah. I mean, if I guess if you think biblically and go back far enough, technically, we all have. That's right. Well, you know what? I've got an interesting one. My first year of teaching, there is this one English teacher and she was a bit odd. And she said that one of her gifts was that she could identify which one of the 12 tribes of Israel you were descended from because she assumed that everyone was descended from there. And she and she gave me a name and a okay. And we also want to send out all sorts of good thoughts for all of the innocents who are caught in the conflicts around the world right now. The innocents are the ones who suffer the most. And we hope that resolutions come to any and all the conflicts in the world right now. And our hearts go out to everybody who's suffering. So with that, let's check this out. Let's go to this tab. All right. So I went through and I read through all of them. It's like six pages of answers. So I'm going to go through some of them. Interestingly, even though I'm about as Anglo-Saxon Scottish as they come, my mitochondrial DNA is Ashkenazi Jewish. And my brother's son, my nephew's also half Jewish Baltic Russian from his mother's side. And his maternal descent classifies him as full Jewish. My goddaughter, whose mother is a diehard Episcopalian converted to Judaism and is on the Women's Council at her synagogue. That's cool. So it's a very interesting world. That's interesting. Let's see.  Evidently considering the DNA results that have come out of French Canadian founder family lines, my Jewish ancestors were forced to convert. My DNA tests show a connection to the Middle East, the Levant and Iran. There are a lot of people who were a part of the Huguenot area. Somehow we got a lot of Jewish into that group and they came over as well. Let's slip over to the next tab. I've got about 50,000 up. I've always wondered, this is from Jeanne Duberly. I'm sorry I didn't say the names earlier. My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Salmon. If she had been born in Canada, I would have wondered about First Nations roots. But she was from a family with British aristocratic heritage several generations back. And I thought that in the distant past, the name might have been Salomon or Salomon. And what's really fun about this question is, I wasn't planning on commenting, but I saw the surname you mentioned. Here we are going again with that wiki tree connecting. We got to connect some stuff. I saw the surname you mentioned. I'm curious how common that last name is, is my paternal grandfather's mother's last name was Salmon. That was a little bit of an AJ Jacobs connection there. My paternal grandfather's mother's last name, Salmon. And in other words, it's also spelled Salmon, perhaps we're distantly related. Okay. So then we get into this discussion. We're going to find out what we want to know is our genie and L Shaper are they are they related? That's that's a wiki tree connecting thing. I love that. And let's see, apparently, I do have Jewish ancestors held up pretty far back. This is from Virginia Peterson. Um, and she's got Coral Coriel, and he's a part of the YDMA project. He's got a great, uh, people that manages in there. They were friends you know. So hello, we'll take a look at that again. I'm going to jump over here. Those two sure do. 100%. My father's father's family came from Rondo, Russia, and his mother's family came from Minsk. My mother's mother's family came from Makhov, Poland, and her family came from Russia as well. Epstein, Gryffindor Epstein, I guess, because you pronounced the last second. Yeah. Oh, let's see. Let's jump on over. Oh, let's share this tab from Sandy Cooper. Wow. I never expected this. I found two 15th great, great grandmothers connecting me to Jewish roots. Oh, that's far back. That's pretty far back. All right, so let's check out the next one. She's Jesse Gleason says, I do. My second great-grands were from Poland, the very pressure Germany depends on the census response and the time, I'm assuming. Her name was from Bertha. His was Joseph Feebleman, spells it this way. He married Alice Bloom. So that's fun, St. Louis, Missouri, Missouri. Nice. So here I am 100% Russian or Jewish. Why I said Russian? Because Russia's right under there. Exactly. I'm 100% Jewish. Andrea James, my family came to the U.S. in the late 1890s and early 1900s from Russia, Ukraine, and Romania. And don't forget to upvote these great answers, people. Upvotes, love. Let's go on over here. Let's see. Yes, this from Jean Gore, my paternal grandmother is one of nine children born to Jewish parents from Disvarta, Hungary. They came to America in 1985. Three of the children were born in Hungary and the other six in New York. Tailors by trade, Sherman was changed to Sherman. After the came to America, Gold is one of her six. Okay. She was born in... And how do you say that? Come on, Greg. What country is it from? Who jelly is I guess I would initially guess. Who jelly? Like, I don't know. I don't know. Okay. So that was fun. Yes, my husband is 100% Jewish from Kathy Webster. It's fascinating. She said that she found DNA stories on ancestors. He originates from one region, but is where your family lives today covers like the whole map. He has 150,000 matches. Wow. That's a lot of matches. So compared to mine, it originates in seven different regions of 1800 matches in the US. And that is the question of the week. Kind of zoom through those because we've got a lot of stuff to cover today. So that's the question of the week. A lot of proud people showing their heritage had one little discussion about the fact that we aren't Jews were Hebrews. Someone was pointing out that we're using the incorrect word. We're not Jews were Hebrews. True. And there was some interesting discussion going on about the biblical definition of Hebrews and which lines and the sons of Jacob and David. And it was fascinating. Kind of like what you were saying, Greg. Right. Yeah. You can tell you about the tribes of Israel. So there we go. So bouncing on over to Miss Betsy. To me or Greg or the profile. That's okay. Well, this is the first time the three of us have been together like in all of October. I know. I know. Yeah. Yeah. So it's nice to be back together. All three of us. Yes, but I'm wearing my October Fest, orange, pumpkin, Halloween type colors because the profiles of the week are which Stephen King actor are you most closely connected to? Yeah, it's coming up. I go for my flu shot on Tuesday. So if I turn into a werewolf. There you go. I love that picture of Stephen King. I know. He looks a little what? What are you saying? So I thought before we start the profiles, little quiz for everyone. Let me get my cursor on the right side. No, no, it's a very easy. Okay.  Okay. Out of the these are 12 of the movies that are featured on the profiles of the week. And I just want to know how many of these have you seen? So you're my scary score is five. I've seen five of these and I gotta blow it up. I can't see night flyer. There we go. So we've got Dolores Claiborne, misery, carry the stand, which I think was actually a mini series, the night flyer, the Shawshank Redemption, Pet Cemetery. Why is that a scary movie? Yeah. Well, they're they're Stephen King movie. So I get category with Stephen King. I didn't know that was a Stephen King movie. Which one? Shawshank. Yeah, I think was that a short story? A couple of these were short stories turned into movies. I'm not sure if that one was a short story or not. Pet Cemetery, Green Mile, Creep Show, which I'm not I guess that was a movie as well, The Shining, Mr. Harrigan's Phone, which is one I'd never even heard of before, or The Tommy Knockers. So what's your scary score? Okay, Christine's is zero. Christine has a very low scare quotient. For me. Five for you, Mags, two for you. Yep. And I would never ever go see Pet Cemetery. That is the only book in my life that I ever had to put down. You know what? Julie was the same way. She read one of his, was it the stand she read? There was one of his that she really liked because he does character so well. And so then she started on, and I think it was Pet Cemetery, and she said, no, this is just too creepy. And she swore off the horror from there on. Eight, someone's got an eight. Wow. That's incredible. Nine. Murray's got a nine. Wow. That's impressive. Yeah, I've got five. And actually, I'm surprised that I have five because I'm not a fan of horror, the horror genre at all. I don't read horror books. And I don't usually like horror stories. But now most some of the ones I've seen are more mystery or drama than actual pure horror. So. And Stephen King does do one of my favorite books in the world is a Stephen King book called The Talisman. Oh, yes. And it's not a it's not a scary, scary book. It's a it's a fantasy kind of book. So. Yeah. So kind of neat. So let's let's get a have a look at this. So Stephen King himself, distant cousin of mine, born in the 40s and still alive. So we his but now his bio is a half decent for a living notable. Of course, American author best known for his dyes into the horrific, the supernatural and the unknown. More of the books. Most of those movies that we are. Yeah, all of those movies there. It was the only one that wasn't featured. He's published under now I didn't know this, his pen names Richard Bachman, John Swithin, and barrel Evans. I don't know if you read any of those. No. So I wonder, I wonder what genre is he's using with these alternate pen names? What if he gets to the end of a book and he says, I don't really like that when I'm not going to put the Stephen King name on incredibly talented writer, he is he does. Yeah. Yeah. Born in 1947 in Portland, Maine. And isn't Maine in New England the atmosphere for most or the setting for most of his books? It's popular. Yeah, I think I like. Lynette says my sister read Tommy knocker and it scared her scared the bejeebers out of her. She had to read 15 Harlequin romances together out of her. That's pretty funny. Wow. That is funny. Yeah. Is she he his father left early, left the family early. So he was raised by a single mother. He and his older brother. He was a voracious reader, of course. Now interesting, his mother worked in Maine and as cared for elderly parents and later worked at the facility for the mentally disabled. So I wonder if that featured into some of his writing, knowing, you know, having dealing with Institute, you know, having that familiar. We heard some of his mom's stories that helped inform him how to build some of the characters. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And he's still living, has three children. There we go. So moving on. So are there Christopher or may plumber Marie Maloney just posted this he wanted he wrote under the other pen names because he wanted to find out whether his writing would draw as much attention as the books under his own name. Yeah. Well, I guess that failed because none of us had. Numbers read those other that would be funny if you had a pen name and then the other author with the pen name give you a run for the money. Yeah. That's great. So Christopher plumber is the one who's close most closely related genealogical to me eight cousin twice removed through, of course, a French Canadian connection born on the 13th of December 1929, Toronto, Canada died 2021 sadly, but age 91. So we can't be too sad that 91 is pretty good in Connecticut, Western Bearfield, Connecticut. Canadian stage film TV actor, of course, his movie role that he's probably best known for is from the sound of music, as Captain Von Trapp, but he's done lots of other stuff. He was a stage actor, the Shakespeare Company, the Stratford Company, the Cirno and Barry Barrymore were other movies he did. And of course, sound of music was his the big hit also played in a Star Trek movie. He was General Chang and Star Trek six. So if Chris is here, he'll appreciate that. Chris already mentioned that. Oh, did he played in Star Wars and Star Trek? Yes. And now, Julie and I just finished a series called departures, and he has a role in that I think it was his I think it must have been his final acting role because he was looked pretty old and frail. And then in the third season, his character had passed away. And I think it was right after the actor himself had some. But anyways, great Canadian and actor. And his connection to this category was he was the detective in the Dolores Claiborne movie, Inspector, who was investigating her. He would have been a good Sherlock Holmes, too. Yes, he would have, wouldn't he? Yes. There was certainly a shortage of Sherlock Holmes actors over the years. So we're all envious of Betsy Co. Betsy, because this is Betsy closest. But what she told us, we were like, no, no, that's so cool. But look how classy Lauren Bacall is. Look how classy Betsy is. You can see the resemblance. So here, Betsy Joan Persky, stage name Lauren Bacall, born the 16th of September 1924 in New York and passed away in New York as well at the age 89, 12th of August 2014. And I always love a good quote. Here's a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete. If you're alive, it isn't. I mean, it's kind of common sense, but it's a it's a neat thing to have said. She was Lauren's the daughter of Romanian Jewish immigrant Natalie Weinstein Bacall and William Persky. And so that Bacall comes from her mother's maiden name. She was born to Polish Jewish parents, her parents from middle class, father of salesman, mother of secretary, then they got divorced when she was five. She always wanted to be, she originally wanted to be a dancer, but then switched to acting. And then she the wife of a director spotted her in a publication and asked him to to test her out as a screen test. And that was very positive. So she got the role. And she met her future husband, Bogart, on a film. And she started opposite him when she was only 19 year old, 19 years old. And then that started the greatest love stories of all time from Hollywood, according to this. Bogie and Bacall. Bogie and Bacall. So then it goes on the the profiles very well done talks all about her her life and her films, her many, many films, and, and so on. And her the category actually interesting, one of her last things was she was part of an anime. Okay, is it anime or is it the other? Oh, the Howl's Moving Castle. Howl's Moving Castle. He had a voiceover role in that. That's right. Yeah. And that's one of my son's favorite movies of all time. And actually had a wonderful soundtrack, doesn't it? I know. We're actually playing my band is playing that piece tomorrow. Are you? Yeah, really nice arrangement from the now cue Twilight Zone music. Yeah, so that's neat. And her role, her connection to this is that she was in, was it misery? Yeah, misery. She was in misery, which was also the place that Kathy Bates was in. But she was also in a number of things. Kathy Bates did a number of things, misery, of course, where she plays the fan, the crazy fan who kidnaps the author. So I don't know if Stephen King was ever kidnapped and had Yeah, I know. I was gonna say, was that a nightmare of her? Yeah, exactly. I can see that being a nightmare. But she has a fairly short profile because of course she is still living, but it's nice that it does talk about what she's running. Tony Award, Broadway, and lots of other awards as well. She's a great actress. I really like her. Which is I think most of the ones that I've seen have featured her. So that's probably. She's a chameleon. Isn't she though? She just takes on that role and that's it. So she's amazing. Oh, look at this. Married once to a non notable husband. How would you like to have that? You're not very notable. Sorry. You're married to the non notable? So non notable they divorced six years later. Nice. Oh no. I'm sorry. That's not nice. But it's just kind of funny. I mean, it's wiki tree speak, right? So but anyone else reading this but think what? Miguel Jose Ferrer. Another way distant cousin. Born the 7th of February, 1955 in Santa Monica. Passed away early, age 61, 19th of January, 2017 in Los Angeles. That is George Clooney's first cousin. George Clooney. I was just going to say his first cousin because his mother is Rosemary Clooney, who is George's aunt. And in fact, when I saw that, when I read that, I was reading to you know, his parents were, he was the oldest child of folks, five children from actress Jose Fisanti Ferrer. And Kentucky born singer Rosemary Clooney. Oh, really? That's isn't that George's mother? So I opened up his ancestor chart here. And there's Rosemary Clooney. Then I opened up George and his ancestor chart. And look at there. Andrew Joseph Clooney, junior 1902. And, and where's Miguel down here, Andrew Joseph Clooney 1902. Yeah, sure enough. They share grandparents, first cousins. So that's cool. Sorry, I got you off track. No, no, I was, I was, I was going to talk. I already had, see, I already had the George Clooney. I was going to make that connection if you hadn't already jumped. That's okay. But he did pass away from, and the reason he passed away so young because of his throat cancer. Oh dear. Yeah, that's a that's a nasty one. I've had people who had that. All every cancer is nasty. Well, everyone is. Yeah, that's specific. That's really painful about one. I don't want to find out. Yeah, you don't want to find out. But his, he was in The Stand and the Night Flyer. So The Stand was that mini series. But he was also in other things. He was, I think he had a role in Desperate Housewives at one point. He was in, there's a few other things. He was in some other crime shows. So besides the Stephen King stuff. Yeah, he had a standing role in one of the NCISs or one of those dramas, the police drama. That's right. Yeah. Twin Peaks. He was in Twin Peaks. Yes, Twin Peaks. That's right. He was the, he was a sarcastic little, or little, he was a sarcastic police officer, whatever, which is a kind of an interest. I mean, Twin Peaks was a, an interesting show. So all the characters were interesting there. Morgan Freeman, born in the 30s, still alive, member of the US Black History. Son of Morgan Freeman and Mamie Revere. And apparently in 2008, the show of African American Lives 2 revealed that some of his great, great grandparents were slaves who migrated from North Carolina to Mississippi. Also discovered that his Caucasian maternal great-great-grandfather had lived with and was buried besucked. His African American great-great-grandmother, they too could not legally marry at the time in the segregated South, but obviously they were close enough that they were buried together. So that's interesting. Nice. Yeah. And also, a DNA test stated that he's descended from the Songhai and the Tuareg peoples of Niger. So that's, yeah. So they can get that specific to the, an area? Yeah, you can, especially with YDNA, but also with a mitochondrial DNA. You could, you could actually find a tribe and, and like, I was identified as Tuareg very early on before the databases built up. And now my, I'm from New Yet, which is right off the coast of Slovenia and Kosovo and Croatia. Interesting. Like just a little island is my heaviest place of my mitochondrial DNA. 20,000 years ago, but. Yeah, that's right. So it's a way back. Yeah. Anyways, Morgan Freeman was from, so his connection to Stephen King was the Shawshank Redemption and also another movie called Dreamcatcher. Here's a fun fact from Audrey Martin. Okay. Yes. There are AI generated Morgan Freeman meditation videos on YouTube if anyone is interested. AI generated. Yeah. Does have a soothing voice. He does. I want James Earl Jones to voice my driving, my app, my map app. Oh, yes. That would be fun. That'd be fun. He's a wonderful actor. I always enjoy his stuff. Frederick Hubbard Gwyn from the Munsters, American actor best known for as Herman Munster on the Munsters there, but that Munsters was not written by Stephen King, but what was is Pet Cemetery. So he was in the movie Pet Cemetery, which I don't think, I don't know if any of us will ever watch in this panel here. But I'm sure it's a well done movie for those who like that. Tom Hanks was in the Green Mile, 23rd cousin twice removed, pretty distant, born in the 50s. Of course, July 9th, 1986, American producer, actor, filmmaker. He made his first splash in Splash. And then he starred in other movies, Big Punchline, Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, of course, Paul 13, and so on. So it's the Green Mile that he's known for that gets him into this category for this week. And of course, Castaway. Did I tell you that one time I saw Castaway was when our family, we went on a holiday, we'd had a second hand motor home when the kids were young, and we took a trip to Newfoundland. And so to get to Newfoundland in a motor home, you have to take a ferry. So the ferry from Nova Scotia, from Cape Breton to, well, there's two routes, we took the longer route across. And that 13 hour route, one of the movies they showed, while we were on the ferry in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, was Castaway. I was going to ask if you're on an Australian flight. No, we weren't on a plane. So I guess it was one step removed, but it was still, we were on a long voyage. Someone did not think that through. So yeah, I thought that's a poor choice for this type of travel. Ever Eugene Gruntz was born on the 18th of June 1914 in Owatona Steel, Minnesota, and passed away at the age of 84 on the 24th of August 1998 in Mt. Kisco, Westchester, New York. But he is more commonly known as EEG Marshall. So, and now, and the profile doesn't ever say why he changed his name from Gruntz to Marshall, but the Wikipedia article says that he just, he used Marshall as his stage name. And now, I was, I would guess, I was guessing that he went from EEG because he used E for Everett and G for Gene from Eugene. But apparently in interviews, he just said as EEG stands for everybody's guess. If we can look, if we look in his ancestors, we could see if there's any Marshalls that show up here, any clue to where he picked Marshall from, but can't see anything, right? Weird. Maybe he watched Gunsmoke. No, that was after him. Yeah. So, but anyways, he's done a lot. He did lots of stuff. Probably one of his early ones that he was most known for is 12 Angry Men. He was, I think, the Wikipedia article said Durer number four, which doesn't necessarily mean anything, but he was one, he was, he was very analytical apparently in the, in going through the evidence or whatever, played a role in the defenders and a few other things there, Playhouse 90, Foco Playhouse. His entry into this category, though, is from, well, he's done three different things, none of which I've seen, Creep Show, Tommy Knockers and The Dark Half. So, but he's done lots. He's been a prolific actor. He's done lots of stuff. I just haven't seen any of the Stephen King work. So as Greg moves on to the next one, we note that Greg is the most connected to Jack. That's only a little creepy. Born in the 30s. Look at, oh man, look at even that face. That smile is, there's just something creepy about that smile. I think it's his eyebrows. Is it his eyebrows? That's interesting. I don't know. But he does have an unusual face. Yeah. He has a face that you would think somebody had done a character of already. His face is a character in motion. Twelve Academy Award nominations make him the most nominated male actor in the Academy's history. That's interesting. Widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of all times. He certainly is a great actor. There's no denying that. Born in the 37s. One flew over the Coco's Nest, of course, is one of his greatest. As good as it gets, you can't handle the truth. One of only three male actors to win three Academy Awards, and one of only two actors to be nominated for an Academy Award for acting in films made in every decade from the 60s to the 2000s. That's a pretty cool stat. Some people peak and then you don't hear from them again or whatever. He just keeps on working. Of course, The Shining from Stanley Kubrick, based on the Stephen King novel. He talks about some children, some unacknowledged children. That's interesting. He threw that into the profile. And then, of course, a link to the old bit of his partner. So, there we go. Jack Nicholson. Sissy Spasic. My closest. If you're closest, she must have Appalachia Roots. She does, I believe. Let me look real quick. She's my closest. Okay, Kathy Bates was my closest by connection. No. Sissy Spasic is, I don't claim that. Sissy is my seventh cousin once removed. Oh, neat. She is, it doesn't say where she's from, but let me look at my... Well, her parents are both from Texas, or were born in Texas. Lana, Texas there. She is, oh, she's connected to my Frank family from Lawrence County, South Carolina. Yeah. Now, Texas is not part of Appalachia, right? No, but there was a big, and Lawrence is a part of Appalachia, but it does, there was a migration pattern because the land went to normally the oldest child, and so the younger children would pack up and move. A big swath of my family went to Louisiana and to Texas, and so that makes a lot of sense to me. It does, eh? Yeah. Interesting. Going back, Czech Republic, Germany, Moravia, Austria. Well, and the Franks, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, okay, cool. It's always interesting to look through the ancestry, the lineage. That's very cool. Yeah, but don't tell us what movie she was in because if you say the word, all I can see is that final scene. Yes, yes. And I mean, really, you say her name and it's synonymous with the scary movie. What? When you say Sissy's Basic, I think of Loretta Lynn. Do you? I do. Oh, Coal Miner's Daughter. Yeah, Coal Miner's Daughter. Well, that's a much nicer thing, but I'm sure she would appreciate that much better. I don't know, she did a pretty good job. Do you think she doesn't think she did a good job? I think she did a great job in that other movie, too. Well, she did a great, she's a great actor. She's done a great job in all those. What we don't have such a great job is this profile. Oh, yeah, that's very sad. There's no better role. I mean, she's a living, but so we can't talk about it. I think that somebody should cut this conversation about her and post that as the profile. An audio clip. Yeah. Now, I got a shout out to Aaron Gillison, who's on the Canadian team, or Project Canada, Canada Project. He's actually found a birth and census record. So we can, you could add that to it, but it's a protected profile. So maybe Aaron isn't on the watch list, so couldn't do it, but he did post it in the comments. So someone who does have the rights could post that. And so you could at least say when, where she was born. And scroll back up, scroll back up to the top of her profile. Oh, top of the profile. Yeah. I just want to see the, yeah, you should be able to post on that. I mean, you should be able to post, you should be able to, whoever profile manager is, should be able to post. That's right. So yeah. I'm appealing to someone from the Notables team. Please give Sistia a bit of love and at least, you know, get to work with her forces. Mention that she played in a couple of movies, you know, just a little, you know, it's just something. She's, there are people who are talking about other movies, they love that she did. Like, did you see Good Night Mother? I think of the good old boys. Nice. We could list the movies that she's been in. Exactly. Like that's public knowledge.  Give her some love, people. Yeah. Sissy basic fans. Get to work. Come on. Is she, but is she a very big proponent of privacy? Like is Meryl Streep's profile very well, because she's well known as somebody who is very private. Okay. That would be my second guess. Yeah. I still, I don't see any harm in like, listening to the work, you know. Yeah. Like if you listen to the work. That's a good record. Yeah. I think you could list the work. That's all over the place with Wikipedia and stuff. Of course. Is that the one link is to her Wikipedia article? I don't think there are any. No, there's one link. There's, there's one source. Yeah. And it's Wikipedia. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, our last profile, then I'll turn it over to Betsy. And I might even get, you might even have 15 minutes or more. Shocker. Don't tell them. Another great Canadian, a living Canadian still. Born in the 30s, very distant cousin to me. Canadian actor has filmed career course spans over eight decades. Born in 35, received two Golden Globes, Citizen X, and path to war. I don't think I've seen either of those. Interesting. Primetime Emmy Award, inducted by Hollywood Walk of Fame, multiple film critics and media release cited him. One of the best actors. One of the best actors to have never received an Academy Award nomination. Oh, that's too bad. It is. One of just thought he was one of the best actors. Just let's stop there. That's too bad. But he did receive an honorary Academy Award for his contributions to cinema. Yeah. So he was in the original MASH movie, I believe, right? I don't know. We're going to have to rely on the chat for that answer. I'm pretty sure he was in the movie, not in the series later on, but I think he was in the original movie. And his connection here was a thing called Mr. Harrigan's Phone, which I'd never heard of, but apparently based on a Stephen King story. So that's how he snuck into this category. Okay. I think we have a yes, yes, yes, yes, yes from a Haviland Murray and D. Yeah. Okay. Thanks for the confirmation. Okay. Good stuff. And there you have it. Do we have, what was the highest scary score? Nine. I think nine from Murray. Oh, was it nine? Yeah. Very good. Okay, then. All right. Well, we've got some photos wrapping up the month. So the theme for October was family. And I did post one, which I'll, we'll kick off with. And then I need, Greg and Max, I need your help because I've completely, no, you won't give it to me. Oh, help. I don't want to think about it. I'm not going to volunteer to do nothing, though. I know what it is. Oh, no, I just, well, you know what? There's no harm in looking at a picture, a good picture more than once. I just don't remember what we've seen in what we did. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you remember which ones we did? Oh, yeah. The photos, yeah. And, and there are all good pictures. They are. Yeah. So I only posted mine to, to the. Oh, that is adorable. That is nice. So this isn't the Taipei Airport in 1952. On the occasion of my father flying to America. So my grandmother is the one in the dark dress and to her left is my father and on his other side is my grandfather and all the sisters and I think a couple of these would be nieces, the next generation. Look at the legs. Look at the long legs on that one on the end there. Oh, wow. I think that's maybe my youngest aunt. Yeah. And they, there are other pictures from that afternoon at the airport. I think they, they brought the hymnals and they were singing and they were praying and, you know, he was the first one to go to the United States. So was the black a morning thing? Hey, I don't think so. No, I've never heard that. So this was at the. So he, was he the only one in that photo that flew over? Yes. Yeah. And he was, he was the first in the family this. Yeah. 19. That is so sweet. Yeah. The baby in the back. The baby, the baby in the back. Wait, who's, oh, that's a good question. You can barely see him, but if I'm sure if we could identify that man, that's probably his father. I would have to look at dates and do some sleuthing and show the picture to my kids. How many did ended up following his, your father over? Very shortly after two sisters and then, I mean, basically of his 10 survivings, nine surviving siblings, almost everybody came over. Like your grandparents too or no? No, not my grandparents. They came while my grandfather came to visit. Okay. So you've met them. Yeah. I met my grandfather. Haven't you spent time over? Me? Yeah. I spent time, I lived in Taipei for a summer in the 80s and I've been over for visits. Like I've been there five or six times. Nice. Nice. Okay. Well, here we are on the regular page. And I don't remember that one. No, I don't know either actually. Neither. So this was from John Basky, his paternal grandfather's family, 1920. And where are, we don't have a location. But you know, photo at that time was such an occasion. I love the ties on those little, yeah, look at that. Wow. It must have taken quite a bit of maneuvering. Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Yeah, that's right. And then this from Alexis, her maternal grandparents with her mother and younger brother, Osage County, Oklahoma, where her grandfather was an oil field driller. Nice. And then this one, Pat Miller, her great grand uncle's family. Yeah. And she likes it because there's, it's a full, you know, both parents and the children. That is nice. Yeah. Oh, I do. I do remember we looked at this. This was the Peacock family reunion.  That is, wow. Approximately 70 people attended the events. And this is from Em Ross. Oh, Vicki, Vicki's collage. Oh, yes. Of treasures from her great, great grandmother. I think Vicki's in the chat today. That's adorable. I know Rhondesh Schneieringer and Max, can you ID the car? Well, I was looking at the license plate. Is that North Carolina? North Dakota. North Dakota. Oh, that could be. Yeah. Okay. I can't see much of the car really to identify it. Yeah. But it's got interesting headlights. The headlights are pretty unique. Okay. They're aerodynamic and that's an unusual thing. So. Right. Yeah. And look over the left shoulder, the shot behind, vulcanizing tires. You don't see that word very often anymore. No. Right, right. Does that mean they heated them up? That's, I'm being funny. Yeah. Kelly, Kelly tires. Yep. And then there's a sump shop, a bike shop next to that? No, I think that's his tire shop because it's already an RE. Yeah, I think. No, no, no. In between their heads. Yeah. Yeah. I see that IRE. Yeah. Yeah, Victor is agreeing with me about the car. He says that has neat fenders too. Interesting. And a beautiful family. Dan Gaitley, wife and newborn daughter. Oh, you know what? Scroll back up. Scroll back up. That V above the license plate? Yeah. That might be a ration sticker for the war, the World War II. Oh, you're talking about it? They have different stickers on their license plate or a public or on their car. So they'd know which day they could go to the gas station and so people could keep track of that. Oh, really? That might be. I'm just throwing that out. You're talking about this, that I'm circling? Yeah, yeah. That's interesting. It looks like it's built part of the car. Metalwork to me, but. No, I don't see that. It looks like a badge that's sticking up from the license plate. Yeah. I'd be wrong. I'd be right. It dates 42. Yeah, dates. So yeah. It could be a ration thing. Mm-hmm. Interesting. You have to have a mustache and a hat to be in this band. Yeah, look at that. I'll wear that in that group of hunters. Yeah. This is Roger Stong's great-great-great grandfather, Matthias, and his seven brothers. Wow. 1900. Cooner's door. On a hunting trip. Did they all come back from the hunting trip? Yeah. Also, and this is Matthias, is the left most standing man. The left most tallest standing fella? Yes, true. Teresa gives us this photo of her grandfather, my uncle, and my grandmother's three brothers late 1940s. Well, that's nice. Mm-hmm. Oh, I think you guys looked at this last week. Yeah, I think we looked at Yoke's. Yoke's. Yeah. I remember her comment at the beginning that she'd already posted it, but then it was more appropriate for this one. So she reposted it, yeah. Yeah. Her great-granduncle Casper being employed, having a 25-year celebration for the working for the railroad company. Working on the railroad. Oh, money's on it. I didn't see this one. What's this? Yes. Did you look at it last week? I'm pretty sure we did. Yeah, we did. This one looked familiar, yeah. Oh, yeah. But the guy that lost leg, and we couldn't find the guy in there that had lost his leg. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And we're wondering how far back, because this is the one where he was visiting someone, and he fell in love with the photo, and his cousin gave it to him. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah. Aunt Ry's husband thinks that car is a Ford. We're still back on the car, okay. Yeah.  Well, having a tire shop right next to the gas station would be very sensible. Yeah, we saw this. The ladies hanging out with their... Yes. Lucas, yeah. Did we see that one? Yes, and somewhat because they made a free space page just for this photo. Yes, they did. Yeah. What a great idea. You might check that out already. Yeah. Especially if you could make a profile for each of those people in the photo. I know, right? I'll link it to it, and that would be great. Chris Wine, we didn't get it. Yeah. Because Chris was the one who posted... Martin, yeah. This one. Yeah, that one. So, oh no, Jim posted this. Oh, right, because Chris had said he was having trouble, and so maybe... So Jim found it for him. Maybe Chris has the same issue I have with trying to post photos. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, he's saying yes, so... All right. So that was the photo that he was looking for. Yeah. Don't feel bad, Chris. I have issues with that, too. Well, thanks to Betsy's tips. I have been able to successful to do that. So thank you for your tips, Betsy. Oh, you're welcome. You're happy with this. And let me just warm everybody up for November. Our theme for November is going to be pets. Okay, sorry. Sorry. What? He lost his leg when he play kicked a cannonball. No. Oh, that would be terrible. That's what he says. Oh, dear. Ouch. That's very sad. Yeah. Oh my. Sorry, I didn't mean to derail you. Yeah, that was... That's a bummer.  That's a bummer. So, in November we can do the pets, but next week we won't be here, will we? Right. Why won't we be here? Well, there's someone going on next week. Something big going on next weekend. The wiki tree... We'll all be at the wiki tree symposium, enjoying our second full day of wonderful speakers. It actually starts five o'clock Eastern time on Thursday, November 2nd. And there's several hours on Thursday night, all round the clock on Friday and then Saturday. Yep. And then Sunday, we have... And then Sunday is wiki tree day when we celebrate our 15th birthday. So, yes. So, it's going to be a great time. And there's a Discord watch party or a hangout on Wednesday. So... Lots going on. Exactly. So, we won't be here next week, but starting on November... We'll be all over the channels. Yeah, we'll be online. And November 11th, we'll start looking at photos. So, on pets. So, let's see. Okay. I have a special photo because that's Armistice Day. Yes. Oh, okay. It's a different day in Canada. Yeah. I have a photo of my grandfather on November the 11th, 1918, in Dumpier, France. Wow. So, I don't think I've seen that. Have you... You haven't shared it before. No? I have no idea. Okay. Well, looking forward to that. Did you have a tip? So, in honor of Hacktoberfest, this month we've been sharing tips from you. From you all. CrowdStore's tips. So, our last... We had some really great ones. I can't remember. David Randall gave us one. Sally Kimball and Cole. And so, David Draper says, when greeting new ones to WikiTree, who say they're looking for an ancestor, he tries to greet them armed with information and prepared to impress them about what WikiTree might offer. And of course, we all know how to search for people on WikiTree on the homepage. But what David's suggesting is just to do a Google search with WikiTree and, for example, Fred Draper. And he gets eight possibilities. And sometimes just a different visual presentation will have things that leap out at you in the way that they might not in a format that we're used to. So, I think it's a good idea to do both. Then he goes ahead, clicks on the profile, sees if he's that person's cousin. I know David has sent me a message that Howard related. He tries to find them on family source and find a grave.  So, thanks for that, David. And then, lastly, I have seven October ancestors to celebrate. I guess we better get going with that. So, first one is M. Ross. So, M. Ross, October first is the birthday of both her father, Anthony, and her grandfather, Leonard. So, and I think she did include photos. I'm making you all seasick. I'm sorry. That's okay. Anthony came to Canada. He did. Well, he died in Oakville. I spoke in Oakville this week. Look at that. Maybe some of his relatives were there. Well, anyway, I love this, the profile picture. Look at that. Yeah, I know.  So, this is M's father and uncle. Gorgeous picture. That's amazing in North Wales. Yeah. And then this is a caricature of her. Her father was a medical officer in the Army. So, I love that she's chosen that for his profile picture. Got a syringe with teeth.  Oh, there's another car for all our car and for our buffs. Is that whales? And let's see. Possibly taken during honeymoon 1952 Scotland is what it says. When I first saw it, it reminded me of the countryside and all creatures great and small. Oh, wasn't it Scotland? That was Scotland, yeah. You said his family's from Wales, so I thought, well, maybe. But Scotland, yeah, that makes sense. Maybe one of these is M, I'm not sure. That's an adorable picture. Lots of really great ones. Ah, so nice. And then for M's, Corrine, I never know what. Now, maybe somebody, I know we have some British wiki triers in the chat. KSG, what does that mean? What does that stand for? I'm going to take just a quick second to say happy, happy 46 wedding anniversary. Yes, yes. Vicki's parents. Oh, yeah, yeah. Vicki, I'm going to show their picture. Vicki's on my list. Haven't gotten there yet. Oh, it was, right. Hilary, you're right. It took place in Yorkshire, but he was from Scotland, James Herriot. And there were some, I think there were some scenes when he traveled back. Right, okay. Well, we have another great set of photos here. Let's look at this main one. So there is M's grandfather. So happy, happy birthday, Leonard and Anthony. Nice. Sally Kimball shared with us about her, that October, so next Tuesday is the birthday anniversary of her granduncle, Harry, who worked for the New York Central Railroad for many years. And she wrote about Harry, her memories of Harry. She said, when I knew him, he was usually smoking his pipe in the evenings when we visited, and his wife did most of the talking. Our kids were allowed to eat at the big table because Aunt Gertie said we had good manners. Uncle Harry encouraged all the guests to eat up on the mashed potatoes, because otherwise he would be having them as leftovers all week. So Sally is deeply involved in the Profile Improvement Project. And so she, this is a very, very well done profile. There we have a picture of Harry and lots of, lots of history. I loved it. Speaking of family, this is more cars for y'all. Okay. And then Margaret Summit wanted to celebrate her second great grandfather, Banner Shields, whose birthday is today. Oh, happy birthday. Banner, yes, in 1772. Okay. Well, that's, yeah. Yeah. He was born in Maryland, but migrated to Tennessee over the course of his life. Has some, there's quite a lengthy narrative on the profile with interesting stories. So I will shield one, two, three, one, so that you can read up on that. Happy birthday, Banner. Is John, John's in the chat, right? John Tynum. John, yep. So last Saturday was the birthday of his paternal grandfather. And the person that he was named for. So there's John Victor Tiner. And he also died in November, a day short of turning 73. Yeah. Missed it by that much. I know. He's very handsome, very dapper. Very dapper, yes. And Vicki, Vicki's parents' wedding anniversary was two days ago. And yeah, I pulled up Vicki's profile, but she actually put a photo on the G2G. So let me go there. Can you all see that? Oh my goodness. Well, happy anniversary, people. I know. So that is Vicki and her parents, 1981, 46 years of marriage, one-on-one in accomplishment. They have two awesome daughters and one beautiful granddaughter. Nice. Yeah, that's a beautiful picture. Nice.  And I have something special. I hope that the technology will cooperate with me. We'll see. Okay, so October 1st is the anniversary of Azure's paternal grandfather's death. His name was Furman Joseph Robinson, 1901 to 1991. From his daughter and oldest child, I learned that at eight, his father died of pneumonia. And in 1910. So we had to leave school early to help raise his five brothers and support the family. Furman would crawl into the school window at night to read as he loved history, geography, and poetry. Nice. Yeah, so there he is. We have a big family gathering. And Azure also created a YouTube Shorts. Um, so I am going to attempt. Can you see it? Oh, we can see it. All right, let's see if it plays. Everyone, every month Betsy Ko posts out on VGG, which is the genealogist to genealogist forum, a post about celebrating your ancestors each month. This month, I'd like to share about my paternal grandfather, Furman Joseph Robinson, born in 1901. And he passed away October of 1991. He is Robinson 27274. So you can check out a little bit more about him.  Thank you. And please share your ancestors. Nice. Very nice. Yeah. And thank you to everybody who's been sharing their ancestors and their stories with us. We love it. We love the photos. We love the love. And just a clarifying point, I rewatched last week's live cast and someone was saying, well, what about 52 ancestors? Which is a different thing. Amy Johnson Crow. Yes. Didn't she start the 52 ancestors? And I would blame that on her. Blame it. Give her credit. You know, often in our morning, Saturday morning, if you're here, Amy Johnson Crow, yeah, I blame you. So, yeah, they have every week, there's a different theme. Like for instance, this week, a 52 ancestor challenge, the theme is dig a little deeper. Whereas what we're doing here is celebrate your ancestors with a link to whatever month we're in. Usually birth, marriage, or death date. But hey, think outside the box.
