Well, hi there everybody and welcome back to another episode of the All Around Growth Podcast. My name is Rob Kaiser and I am your host today. Whoa. Got some feedback there. And uh anyways, we're gonna turn that down and turn this off. Yeah, welcome back to another episode of the All Around Growth Podcast. Today's Friday, December 9th, 2022. And this is episode number 482 of a show where we are trying to figure out how to live stream and do a podcast at the same time. So for those of you who are listening to this in the future, trying to figure out what's going on, that's what's going on. And for those of you who are listening right now, trying to figure out what it is that you're watching, well, that's what's up. At any rate, when we're not trying to figure out technology, this is a show where we talk about a variety of topics, generally those that encompass what I call all around growth, topics that allow us to find and fulfill our purpose in life. And in these shows, we talk about financial, physical, personal development, family, spiritual, social, and career. And we also mix it up from time to time uh with topics from other sources like the old farmer's almanac, various books, or daily meditations, or in today's case, topics that are trending on Twitter. And this, my friends, should be an interesting show to say the least. But before we get into the breaking news and the sports and entertainment and all of that, um, let's take a moment to mention our show sponsors. All right, so first and foremost, we've got Food Forest Farms, who is making all of this happen, giving us the opportunity to live stream and present the podcast in a different way. Uh, for those of you who are unaware, I'm not recording in the similar or in the manner that I used to. Uh, I am basically taking the audio from every episode that is recorded and then uploaded to the YouTube channel and then importing that as the audio file for the podcast. So if you guys have noticed some changes in the podcast format, um that is in large part why. And uh, we are navigating the ins and outs of this stream yard platform on a daily basis and learning how to improve with all of that. So many thanks to Food Forest Farms for making this happen. And Food Forest Farms is the home of air roasted specialty coffee, a fun hip camp, and a cozy Airbnb. So check everything out that's going on over there at foodforestfarms.com. And secondly, we the the second sponsor of today's show is York Meadow Farm, producing handcrafted batches of probiotic rich fermented foods and natural bath and body products scented with pure essential oils. Um, listeners of the show get 25% off. Still getting 25% off at checkout with the discount code All Around Growth. So if you're looking for some different ideas for Christmas gifts, soaps, hand creams, um, little soap holders, soap savers, uh, you know, fermented foods, of course, but a lot of good stocking stuffers with the bath and body products or gifts outright themselves. You can make a little gift basket or whatever. Um, Yorkmeadowfarms.com, all around growth discount code at checkout, save you 25%. All right, now let's get into what is happening with Twitter. All right, like I said, for those of you who are listening, for those of you who are live stream or uh watching or listen, yeah, for those of you who are listening and want to see what it is that we're talking about, then by all means check out the video so that you too can see what it is that uh that we're gonna talk about here on Twitter. Okay, and as you can see here, I've got my own uh the I'm sorry, the podcast Twitter account. And I decided to go ahead and look at this instead of my own personal Twitter accounts to get a little bit of a uh less biased idea on what's going on and what's trending. All right. So let's uh let's take a look, you know. If we home explore, let's let's go ahead and see what's trending in the United States. Uh the top 10 trending Twitter topics are cinema with an S, and that's trending with independent and in Mansion. I don't even know what that is. What's up, Sean? Yeah, that's right. What are we doing today? Who knows? What are we gonna get into today? Who knows? This is gonna be weird, this is gonna get interesting. Anyone who's out there watching, feel free to drop a comment, say hello, contribute in any way, shape, or form. And um, yeah, good morning. Second of all, we've got Croatia trending with Modric and hashtag Cro. Again, I don't know what any of this is. Third, we've got the Democratic Party trending with 48.8,000 tweets. No uh, no quantities of tweets listed on number one and number two. Number four, trending Twitter topic, only on Twitter, hashtag Friday morning with 14,000 tweets. Number five, we've first suit. Oh boy, first suit Friday with 11,000 tweets. Number six, Arizonians, Arizonians with 6,000 tweets. Number seven, director Taylor Swift with 9,000 tweets. Friday Motivation, we got 18,000 tweets coming in. Number nine, Danilo, 26,000 tweets, and number 10, Wheeling, Whalen with 508,000 tweets. All right, this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna take a look at this cinema. All right, uh, see what see what that's all about. How do I even look at this? Uh, I'd like to open this in a new tab, but I don't think I can. So we're gonna take a look at the number one, number two, yeah. Croatia playing Brazil in the World Cup in the football. Um yeah, check out the links, comments going on for links to the game. And um, we can, yeah, we'll we'll look at that because we're gonna look at number one, number two, and then we'll look at we'll look at Democratic Party tweets, why not? But I'm interested in what this wheeling thing is with 508,000 tweets all the way down there at number 10. So, real quick, let's look at the cinema. S-I-N-E-M-A. There's a politician. Kristen Kirsten Cinema, Senator Cinema serving Arizona. Maybe that's why Arizona was down here uh trending as well with Arizonans. But what's going on with this politician here? Uh U.S. Senator for Arizona teaching at ASU, Ultra Marathoner, Boston qualifier, and Iron Man. Okay. Well, uh, it apparently seems as though Kristen Cinema has abandoned the Democratic Party, according to a tweet from Ruben Galego. We've got last month the wall the voters of Arizona made their voices heard loud and clear. They want leaders who put the people of Arizona first. We need senators who will put Arizonans ahead of the big drug companies and Wall Street bankers. Whether in the Marine Corps or in Congress, I have never backed down from fighting for Arizonans. And at a time when our nation leads needs leadership most, Arizona deserves a voice that won't back down in the face of struggle. Unfortunately, Senator Cinema is once again putting her own interests ahead of getting things done for Arizonans. I don't even know why I'm reading about this. I don't live in Arizona, but you see, this is how politics works. You know, we we all get bent out of shape and and and and and you know, rather than talking about the good that we can bring as politicians, we just bad mouth and talk shit about everyone else who runs against us and why they suck. You know, there's really no difference between the political arena and sports. You know, we could talk, we could look at this whole situation with uh Senator Cinema and the Arizona political spheres, much like we're gonna look at Croatia and the FIFA World Cup here in just a second. The World Cup, I don't I don't even know. Don't pay attention to politics, don't pay attention to sports, but today we're gonna look at both. So there you go. Number one treading trending Twitter topic is this uh is this senator, Senator um Kirsten Kristen, Kirsten, I don't know, Kirsten Cinema. So if you're interested in that, go check out Twitter, follow the trending Twitter topics and see what's up. Moving on with Croatia coming in at number two trending. Uh-oh. Don't know what's going on here, but it looks like uh Mr. Croatian football players giving uh Mr. I don't know what that is. I'm gonna guess Brazil, um a uh a nasty face, a little hand in the face. So um, so we've got, yeah, okay, World Cup. Yep. See, I do know what's going on, and uh massive, massive underdogs. The game is tied, the match is tied, is perhaps what I should say, right? The match. Um, so yeah, it looks like uh looks like the midfield of Croatia's handing out lessons to all the Brazilians out there. That's what's up, guys. Um, so yeah, lots of talk about lots of talk about the uh wow, this is impressive. Let's see if I can you know full screen this and and play this for you. I uh uh boy, I don't I don't I don't even know how to explain this. Um we've got we've got an individual uh dressed up in a mosaic of sorts, reflective mosaic tiles, like a tile, not not a suit, but he looks like a player. I this is this is cool. All right, hey, go Twitter. Let's uh let's move on. This is this I could I could I could watch this all day, and this is why I don't fully engage in this like I used to, because this is how it worked. Um God help us. If we were looking at my own personal feed, we'd see some bizarre stuff there. You know what? We'll take a look at that too. We'll take a look at uh these last couple trending Twitter topics, and then we'll take a look at my own feed and see what shows up there. See how the algorithms differ from my own personal Twitter account, which goes back to 2009 versus this one, which I've really tried to stick to following and engaging with people that have inspired the show. Um, you know, for example, if we just take a look at this, we've got um, you know, dangerous chicken, the survival podcast, uh you know, backwoods engineer, different different things, men of order, Stephen Covey, Brian Tracy, um lots of you know, if we if we scroll long enough, we'll see some Ken Coleman, Tim Ferris, Beyantre leadership, good stuff that I think is has contributed to my own growth and development. But anyways, back to these trending Twitter topics. Let's take a look back down to this this wheelin' thing, which has actually gone up from you know five hundred some thousand tweets to another uh uh wheeling, wheeling, wheeling. Why is what is what is wheeling? Who is Paul Wheelan? Okay, because there's we've got this, this, this, uh Paul Wheelan and Limbo. All right, who is um who is Paul Wheelan? Somebody somebody tell me about this guy. Let's let's let's talk about who this is. Let's bring Paul Wheelan home. A lot enough attention already for Brittany, Brittany Griner, Grinner. Uh okay, apparently someone is being detained. Um a lot of liberal call liberals call Brittany Grinner an icon, but it has some truth. She, pothead, non-white lesbian, looks like the America our elites desire. Paul Wheelan looks like the bad old America they want to replace. It's no mystery why they traded an arms dealer for Griiner. Uh, all right, so apparently we've got a kind of a negotiation with prisoners being detained overseas. This appears to be taking place in Russia, and apparently, uh on Russian television, a woman named Maria Butina claimed that it was Russia's decision uh to exchange um, yeah, prisoners. I I don't know. This is again more political, worldly political things that I'm completely unaware of. And when it comes down to my input and dialogue on these matters, the the the reality is I don't I I don't I don't I don't have I just don't have much to say on any of this. Um but it sure seems like a lot of people do. And I I don't know. We're we're we're just we're we're gonna move on. This is this is kind of silly. Uh to make it even sillier, you know, the next highest item on the list here uh is um apparently the Democratic Party coming in at number three. And yes, the top tweet in this is from the New York Times, which reads Senator Kristen Kirsten Cinema of Arizona is leaving the Democratic Party and registering as an independent.
SPEAKER_01Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00And the comment here reads, It's a warning shot across the bow to not try anything funny in the lame duck session, and that these two will continue their roles as gatekeepers until 2024. Definitely a deal between Manchin and Cinema. Ah, yes. Definitely, you see, this is how I get my political information and my talking points. I read people that I don't even know what's I can't even make fun of this. It's so dumb. I don't, you know, I I just don't I'm I'm not gonna I'm not gonna badmouth people that are really into politics. I just feel sorry for them. You know, I the the the people that the people that the people that are really engaged, the people that talk about this stuff on social media, the people that vote, the people that I'm talking at federal and state levels, you know, and and think it matters. Um it just my reality is so far detached from theirs, it it it it makes almost any conversation in general with people who really are are are into this, uh it it it it makes it difficult because they're so consumed with it. Just for grins, let's see what's going on with Fursuit Friday. Oh Lord have mercy. That's exactly what I thought it was. Yeah, all right. Let's switch accounts here and look at my own personal account, which basically I post to frequently, don't do a lot of exploring with uh all that lately. So we'll do the same thing, take a look at what's trending in my own personal algorithms here, and quite frankly, it's the same thing, it is the same thing, but let's go back and keep this focused on all around growth, and let's see what's what's for me based on this account that's been in place for a couple of years. Um trending in business and finance. We've got Walmart, and a lot of uh not not a lot, but well, yeah, a lot of us, you know, shop at Walmart. Some of us have worked there in the past. Got that rolling in with 28,000 tweets. We've got Donnie Osman trending in the music world. Trending next, we've got she's a republican, Kirk Douglas is trending. We've got damn SZA trending in music, uh, blue ivy in music, Megan McCain trending, bitcoiners, and Kevin O'Leary in business and finance. We'll take a look at Walmart real quick and then we'll take a look at this damn SZA and uh maybe wrap it up. Walmart's fintech startup plans to launch a buy now pay later soon as as soon as next year. Hmm, not surprising. You know, almost everything has a buy now, pay later. Don't have a credit card, whatever, affirm. You know, you can buy now and pay later and go on installment plans full. Or a fifty dollar pair of crocs or whatever. I don't know. It's it's just a lot. I don't know what's going on with Twitter. I don't know what's going on with anything. And um yeah, we've got uh some comments coming in that uh apparently Walmart is getting into healthcare. Let's see if there's anything in here about this. Let's just let's just do this. Walmart healthcare. See what uh see what's popping in. I don't know, but you know what? It wouldn't it wouldn't surprise me if Walmart was getting into some kind of healthcare. Um and as far as it shocking, it being shocking to see how deep it it it it goes in terms of big box stores and healthcare. I don't know, it it it's it's not good. I mean, I there was another one of the many telegram groups that we're all involved in and and and interconnected with was talking about how the nature of Walmart used to pride themselves on being American-owned and carrying American-made products, but that most certainly is not the case now, and I don't know what to think about healthcare. I know in the telegram group, uh t.me slash all around growth, we've had some interesting dialogue lately about healthcare, and my own personal experiences with healthcare leave a lot to be desired, but I also recognize, admit, and acknowledge that I have a lot of work to do myself, and I I can't necessarily uh just just like you know, it's easy to point a finger at the healthcare system, but let's face it, even those in optimal health that have to deal with the healthcare system in extreme cases, in the case of an accident or traumatic injury, it's just not a pleasant experience to deal with. It's not pleasant to go through at all, but the healthcare system makes it makes it even more challenging. So, yeah, to to to think about one walmart being involved, it's it's uh it's not surprising. Um government's been involved, is involved. It's just a matter of time before uh you know the the numbers line on the spreadsheets, and um uh everything is just kind of assimilated into the the the big system, if it's not already, you know. So what's up with news? All right, let's take a look at this real quick. We'll cut it off about 30 minutes. Binance, what's what's trending in news? A lot of news with Binance, lots of news with Binance. Let's see what's going on with Binance real quick. More damage, more jail time. Yeah, yeah. FTX, yeah, yeah. You know, I don't know. There's there's so much. I don't even know where to begin with all of this. You know, you we j to to to try and cram in what's happening and what's going on with uh with Twitter and and and discuss what's trending is just um it's it's it's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot. So how do we conclude? Yeah, there used to be a point in time where these trending Twitter topics used to be I used to enjoy doing them. It would it would give me you know fodder for discussion and things to talk about, things to rant about, but I don't I'm not I'm not sure I'm not sure how much I don't even I don't even want to do that. Looking at this is ridiculous. I don't I don't understand much of what I see nor do I have any desire to do so. I when I when when when I check in like this and I I I I observe what's going on and this this this is the this is the world that this is what most this is what most people take in on a daily basis. This is the world for most people, and this is the world that I don't want to participate in. But the we have to. We're here and we can't avoid it, you know. We can't just go full hermit and avoid it. I I mean I mean I mean I can't, I I guess we can, you know, those those those who want to go full aesthetic and just like go to a monastery or something, you know, that that's always an option. And I presumably one could make a life of that or similar to that without going to a monastery, and I know some people who've done that, they didn't like leave this world to do that, that's just always how they've been, and and I admire them. And maybe that's what I'm working towards, and maybe that's why none of this resonates with me in the way that it once did, because there's just nothing for me to talk about here. I'm not interested in it, nor am I interested in in talking about why I find many of these things problematic. I think if I were to do that, that might be an interesting show for a dedicated topic at some point in the future. But today's not that day. So if there was something that was discussed in today's show that you'd like to hear more on in the future in a dedicated episode, then by all means let me know in the comments or in the telegram group or anywhere on social media for that matter. And that's it for today, guys. As far as next week is concerned, what we are going to get into is as usual on Monday, we're gonna do a homestead market recap, but it's going to be a little bit different in the fact that it's we don't have any markets this weekend, so there's been a lot of work taking place here on the homestead over the past week, but not a lot of work in the commercial kitchen, actually. So we will talk about that with the homestead market update on Monday, and at that point, I will fill you in on the rest of uh what the week has in store for next week. So, with that, guys, I appreciate you tuning in today, and I look forward to catching you on Monday. I hope that you have a great weekend. This is Rob Kaiser. Thank you.
