Movie Meltdown - Episode 447

This week we're coming to you "live" from Harry Dean Stanton Fest as we sit down with Drago Sumonja the co-writer of Harry Dean's last film (Lucky) as well as director of the documentary Char·ac·ter. So listen as we discuss his time spent with Harry Dean as well as the artistic collaboration and friendship he has built over the years with actor Dabney Coleman.

And while we realize that the whole world eventually comes together at Dan Tana's, we also bring up… Private Benjamin, he made his own weapon, we’d just kind of play the parts really, Daveigh Chase, Cloak and Dagger, they mounted this giant antenna-looking thing onto your house, it’s own weird special little world, Unwigged and Unplugged, something about him showing up in a dress one day, it turned out to be what I wanted to be, Ron Livingston, docudrama, Facebook and their darn algorithms, David Lynch, by necessity, crossing from PG to PG-13, and I would just start typing, racy movies in conservative households, Sydney Pollack, Showgirls, and so we just try to figure out how to make that kind of interesting in a script, Top Secret, The Missouri Breaks, a dirty martini all over my pants, S. Darko, sequels to movies many years later, a rainy day assembly, Logan Sparks, Muhlenberg County, going off on these magical monologues, it’s like a master class, Mark Rydell, Repo Man and TV edits for R-rated movies.

“...the documentary and your podcast - is only as good as your subject.”

Dr. Jerry Pollack is a pioneering water researcher whose work in structured water and cell biology has been described as being some of the most important research that will be conducted in the 21st century. His research creates a completely new paradigm of cell biology and nutrient absorption. He is recognized worldwide as a dynamic speaker and author, whose passion lies in plumbing the depths of natural truths.

Dr. Pollack received the 1st Emoto Peace Prize and is a recipient of the University of Washington's highest honor, the Annual Faculty Lecturer Award. He is founding Editor-in-Chief of the research journal WATER and Director of the Institute for Venture Science. Dr. Pollack's (award-winning) books include The Fourth Phase of Water (2013), and Cells, Gels, and the Engines of Life (2001). Dr. Jerry Pollack maintains an active laboratory at the University of Washington in Seattle.

In this episode, Jerry and I discuss

• How water moves to the top of a 100-yard tall redwood
• How nutrients are absorbed across cell membranes and plant roots
• The role of EZ water in moving nutrients through vascular tissue
• How plant roots can absorb complete compounds from the soil solution

The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor

Episode 15 - Dr. Gerald H. Pollack - Highlights

4:50 - What is exclusion zone water? (EZ Water)

• We all learned water had 3 phases, but the idea that water could have a phase between liquid and solid has been around for some time
• EZ water is between solid and liquid. Gel-like, almost like raw egg whites
• EZ water has a negative charge, unlike ordinary water
• Energy comes from infrared light
• EZ water is also called fourth phase water, ordered water, or structured water

13:10 - John strongly recommends reading two of Gerald’s books:

• Cells, Gels and the Engines of Life

• The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor

13:40 - How are nutrients and water transported inside a plant? How are nutrients absorbed by root systems? How does EZ water relate?

• How a tube in water that allows water to continuously flow works in the same way that trees can transport water
• Energy is coming from light absorbed in the water will drive the flow of water
• How this same idea can apply to the cardiovascular system in the human body

27:45 - How is this related to nutrient mobility?

31:35 - Alternate mechanisms for nutrient absorption by cells

• The assumption that the cell membrane is impermeable is questionable
• Why the idea of thousands of pumps and channels in the membrane doesn’t work
• The cell gets its electrical potential from the negatively charged water
• If there is no impermeable barrier, then substances can be absorbed by the cell

42:40 - Simplicity is the essence of science

45:50 - What is the limitation of what cells can absorb?

• Substances could move in and out of the cell in transition areas of water to EZ water

49:25 - Water crisis in agricultural - soils that cannot hold water well anymore

• Soils need charge distributions just right to build EZ water
• Water holding capacity is diminished when the soil is destroyed, directly related to the ability to make EZ water

54:30 - What is the question Gerald wishes he was asked?

• The role of water in health - absolutely central. Cells cannot function properly unless properly hydrated
• The role of grounding in health and in its ability to convert water to EZ water
• Juicing to get EZ water from inside plants

In 1995, director Bryan Singer, fresh off film festival acclaim, directed his first major motion picture starring a hodgepodge of indie actors and sporting one of the most controversial endings in film history. The Usual Suspects mixed noir and crime genres with a 90s twist following a team of doomed criminals as they are forced to work together for a mysterious crime lord. But does this two-time Oscar winning film deserve to be declared one of the greatest films of the era or does it deserve to vanish into thin air? MovieDude Eric, Kent and Chris check the board to find out.

EPISODE 03 SUMMARY - JOHN POLLACK

Author // Consultant // Speechwriter // Journalist // Reporter

————————————————

What is needed within cyber security industry communications to generate the kind of awareness and training materials that enable governments, businesses, and the general public to protect themselves against cyber security threats?

We want people to hear our message and act in accordance with responsible security behaviours, but what changes do we as an industry need to make in order to accomplish this goal?

Join Bruce and John as they converse around these questions and unpack topics such as:

• John was a strolling violinist at a restaurant where the head chef taught him that people eat twice, once with their eyes and once with their stomach, and that good communication relies on a combination of a sensory stimuli.

• Building a relationship with an audience, fostering trust, requires communicators to listen as much, if not more, than communicate.

• Communication needs to come from a place of empathy and this is often missing.

• The importance of authenticity and credibility in developing and delivering effective communication that supports change in behaviour.

• "Washington is where good words go to die" comment illustrating the impact of internal corporate communication guidelines on the effectiveness of communications designed to raise awareness and influence behaviour.

“…We ought keep our eye out for ways to capture people’s attention because capturing people’s attention, and holding it, is the essence of communication…”

Doctors and patients report rushes for procedures as worries over ACA overhaul spike.

We have often heard it said that water is critical for our health, but Dr. Gerald Pollack adds a surprising twist to that familiar conversation. Water has long been considered to have only three phases: liquid, solid, or gas. Jerry and his colleagues have been studying a fourth phase of water, as it appears in our bodies, called EZ or "exclusion zone" water. Jerry has written a whole book about this subject entitled "The Fourth Phase of Water." In it, and in today's conversation, he explains how our overall health is tied to the level and charge of EZ water in our bodies. 

He discusses the properties of EZ water and the importance of its negative charge. He makes a case for maintaining and building on the EZ water by tapping into the negative energy all around us. Jerry recommends simple steps to do this including "grounding" (getting our bare feet in contact with the earth), spending time in an infrared sauna, getting more oxygen, drinking spring water, and taking aspirin regularly. It's a fascinating conversation with some fresh ideas on how to maintain and improve our health, naturally.

In today's episode I sit down with Geoffrey Welchman, host of The Inverse Delirium. If you're a fan of podcasts such as We're Alive or Welcome to Night Vale, other radio play type podcasts, then I suggest you give this show a listen. It's NPR with a dry but very witty sense of humor!

Geoffrey will admit that he's not the most savvy marketer, and not all of us podcasters are. But he does give great tips on keeping to a schedule. How he keeps things fresh in his podcast, and how he's brought in guests such as Kevin Pollack and Lewis Black to name a few.

This is a great interview with a very down to earth guy who's not looking for a way to make a living off of his podcast, he's just simply hoping to entertain. Whether it be a couple experiencing Netflix adultry, an inside look at the Voice Over Olympics or a reporter stuck on a chunk of ice with Scientists at war with a brutal faction of Walrus's. This sketch comedy show has a little something for everyone!

Like a feather fluttering in the wind, life as you know it can change with a cross breeze. There were times when Azimir Burzic wished he could delete the images caught with his eyes. Today, twenty years later and thousands of miles away from his native Bosnia, I chatted with Azimir Burzic about the moments he now captures with his paint brush and his camera.

I interivew Jill Pollack, an organization expert, and host of "Consumed", a one-hour de-cluttering/life-changing TV show for HGTV Canada. She shares some great tips on finding some breathing room with your stuff!
