March 16th, 2000, two sheriff's deputies were shot in Atlanta. A Muslim leader and former black power activist was convicted. But the evidence was shaky and the whole truth didn't come out during the trial. My name is Moses Secret. When I started investigating this case in my hometown, I uncovered a dark truth about America. From Tenderfoot TV, campside Media, and iHeart Podcasts, Radical is available now.

Mean you look anywhere specific?

Into my soul.

Okay, I can do that.

No, you can't.

Yes, I can. You know why you can't? Because your glasses are blocking it a.

Little bit. Because souls aren't real.

Oh, okay. This is going to be an interesting conversation then.

Tosh show. Tosh show. Tosh show. Welcome to Tosh show. I'm comedian Daniel Tash, and I'm the host of the Tashow. We're here in beautiful, sunny Southern California. Eddie, you like California, don't you? I love California. When did you move here? Maybe 2002, 2003, around there. I moved here in the late 90s. I'm about to do a PSA for California. You ever see those commercials where it's just for the state? And they always have cool Arnold Schwarzenegger's always in it. Somebody's rollerblading or something. They never asked me to do those, but I feel like I should do those because right now California is hurting. Oh, my goodness. People are leaving in droves, and I couldn't be more excited about it. My only goal in life, my goal as a child, I might have said this on the show before, but I'll say it again now. My goal was never to become a comedian. My goal was to live in California. That was my childhood goal, honestly. I mean, just as a kid who grew up in Florida, who love to surf, the surf is garbage in Florida. Hey, good luck with DeSantis fixing that. You can't fix garbage beach breaks.

Oh, there's a hurricane. It's going to be good for six minutes before we all die. I just love the state. I've always loved it. People complain about California, the high taxes. Yeah, great. When I used to make no money, which, believe it or not, was a majority of my career, didn't care at all. It was just fun making ends meet. And now I do make money. I give half of it away, at least in taxes. Good. The point is I love this state, and I'm happy to be here. You got any videos for me, Eddie? I do. I got a video. Here we go. Let's see it. Let's see it.

I'm.

Not going to do any jokes about this video. It seems like an amazing bar. A floozy, an old man, a drunk, and an LP walk into a bar. There's your setup. I'll let you guys write the punchline, and I'll read that next week. I probably won't. Well, you got to play a different video. Why you run out of there like that? Why are you recording me?

This don't make no sense. Every time we go out somewhere and we're trying to watch a game in peace, you ask a fool and we.

Get put out every time. They end up talking about fly.

What you thought they was going to do? I was.

Scared.

Because they know.

They cheated too, man.

I.

Assume his chest pain turned into something a little more seriously, and she put the camera down and called 911. At least that's what I'm hoping. I want to point out to people that this video was posted after week 11 of this year's NFL season. And if I remember correctly, Dallas was in Philly and they lost a heartbreaker. Daxes has stepped out of bounds on a two-point conversion. The final play ended up on the one-yard line. Eddie is a big Philly fan. He'll listen to one of his podcasts if you want to hear about fucking Eagles games. But now this week, you got your redemption. Down goes Jaylen Hertz. I'll tell you what, the way Jaylen Hertz, the way they could have won that game is if they would have just tush-pushed the whole time. When it's fourth and short, they all get behind Jaylen Hertz. And then the advertiser has to go, Did you know that he can squat 600 pounds? Like, I give a shit at all. And their success rate is like 98 % on fourth and short. Okay. And then they said, Oh, we're going to change the rules next year. This is what I want Philly to do.

If it's so effective, do you know how many yards they actually average when they do the tush-push, Eddie? It's like three. About three yards. What's three times four, Eddie? Exactly. We're at 12. That's 12. That's more than a first down. So why aren't they doing the tush-push on first down? Second down, third down, fourth down. Just every single play the entire game. You do that for one game every play the tush-push. And not only will the rule get changed, but it will be the single greatest football game in the history of the NFL. We'd love to see it. Every play, tush-push the whole way, just up and down the field. I just think it would be amazing. Now I know what you're going to say. Oh, Jaylen Hertz. He can squat 600 pounds, but that's his max. You don't max 50 plays a game. That's too many tush pushes. I say one time, Come on, Coach. Speaking of Philly, that's where our guest today is from. She was an attorney, which I don't find that interesting, but she quit to focus on her true calling, which was talking to animals. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

I find that extremely interesting. She can talk to my dead pet. Yeah, I'm going to have you on the show. I'm not going to fly you first class, but I'll fly you out here to talk to me. Enjoy. Take one chic boutique hotel. Add in an.

March 16th, 2000, two sheriff's deputies were shot in Atlanta. Jamil Al-Amin, a Muslim leader and former Black power activist, was convicted. But the evidence was shaky and the whole truth didn't come out during the trial. My name is Mosie Secret. When I started investigating this case in my hometown, I uncovered a dark truth about America.

He said to me, You don't need to take care of them for not doing something to pain you or something like that. I said, No, what are you talking about? But I had no idea who he had become.

That's how he approached you? You know what he meant when he said that?

Yeah.

I'm thinking murder in a minute. I think.

That's what he was thinking too. From Tenderfoot TV, Campside Media, and iHeart Podcasts, Radical is available now. Listen to the new podcast, Radical, for free on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

When Walter Isaacson set out to write his biography of Elon Musk, he believed he was taking on a world-changing figure.

That night, he was deciding whether or not to allow Starlink to be enabled to allow a sneak attack on Crimea.

What he got was a subject who also sowed chaos and conspiracy.

I'm thinking it's idiotic to buy Twitter because he doesn't have a fingertips feel for social, emotional networks. And when I.

Sat down with Isaacson five weeks ago, he told me how he captured it all.

They have cans of spray paint, and they're just putting big X's on machines. And it's almost like kids playing on the playground. Just choose them up left, right and center. And then like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, he doesn't even remember it. Getting the bars doesn't excuse being a total. But I want the reader to see it in action.

My name is Evan Ratliff, and this is on Musk with Walter Isaacson. Join us in this four-part series as Isaacson breaks down how he captured a vivid portrait of a polarizing genius. Listen to on Musk on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts.

Tasha. My guest today stopped practicing law to begin a new career charging clients tons of money to speak to their pets. Seems like a lateral move. Please welcome my favorite animal communicator, Nikki. Hello. Thank you for coming here. Wait, how old are you? Can I ask? I only ask because you're not supposed to ask, but you look very young to me, so that's why I was comfortable asking.

34, 35 in January.

Okay, you're a lot older than I thought.

Great.

34 in January. Hold on, I can do this. 19th, 14th, 25th, 31st. Yes. January 31st? Yeah. Are you serious? My daughter's birthday is January 31st.

No.

I was upset.

She's going to be an animal communicator. Will you be a proud and supportive dad?

If she's an animal communicator, I will not be proud will not be the right word. I would be supportive.

That's all you need to do.

I feel like I can skip my normal first question that I ask all my guests. Check you believe in ghosts.

I mean, what do you mean by ghosts?

I don't know. That's just a question I always ask everybody. Do you believe in ghosts?

Like the white little Casper thing? No. But do I believe that we can connect with spirits, love our animals? 60 % of my work. Got it.

Crazy.

Check.

All right. You always hear people that were a lawyer and then they switched to something, for lack of a better word, crazy.

Okay.

Like, oh, he was a lawyer, but then he became a comedian. And it's always like, oh, and I'm supposed to be impressed that you stopped doing this impressive job to do something less. You never hear somebody say, Oh, I stopped being a lawyer to become a doctor.

Because no one's happy as a lawyer and no one's happy as a doctor. So nothing would be accomplished in that move.

Did.

You like law? No.

Not at all? Not at all. Was it parents? What forced you into that field?

At 21, when you graduate college, I was like, What do I want to do with my life? I had no idea, so why not be a lawyer? And first year of law school, I realized this is not what I want to do. But at that point, you're already financially invested. You're already there.

So finish. How much money all in for your education?

High 280s, 288,000.

High 280s, so 289?

I don't remember.

I mean, high 200s. But I think it was like, 280 something. I have no idea.

Okay.

I was in litigation in center city, Philadelphia. It was just chaos. I hated every second of it. No lawyer is happy. I know one lawyer that enjoys.

Being a lawyer. I love my lawyer.

Does he love his life?

Never asked him.

Both my eyes were twitching at separate times. I hated all of my clients. Judges were cranky, cops were miserable. And then I learned animal communication was possible.

And how does one do that?

Just like you communicate with people. Let me ask you this. Okay. Have you ever had a time where your phone rang and you knew who was calling before you looked at it?

Yes.

Telepathy.

Only one person calls me.

Not true. Have you ever had a time where someone, friend, partner, anyone was about to ask you a question or say something, and you answer them before they asked it out loud. Grill cheese. That has nothing to do with what I just said.

Yes to that question as well.

That's telepathy. Telepathic communication is nonverbal communication. It's a universal language. That might sound weird. All my sessions are done remotely through a picture. I receive images or thoughts in my head or feelings in my body. Like if they have a sore right back foot, my right ankle might start throbbing. I can describe it the best as II get a mental image where I can see almost what I think your living room might look like if the animal is talking about the living room. Or when I hear a thought, it's like if I'm reading a book to myself silently, like how that would sound, but it's not my thought. Just takes practice. But it's something every human being can do, which is why I have an online school and I teach people every day to talk to animals, and they're really doing it.

How much do you charge for that school?

It's 65 a month.

65 a month?

Yeah, they pay monthly.

I know that's so affordable. How often do they-We.

Have weekly calls. So twice a month, we have an hour long Q and A. Twice a month, we have an hour and a half long practice corner.

What made you even attempt this in the first place?

I hated being a lawyer.

Sure. But aside from that, a lot of people hate their jobs and don't go, Well, I should talk to animals.

Well, I learned that it was possible through a massage therapist at a local wellness center. Okay, here we go. Then I went home, bought all the books on Google, animal communication books. I was like, All right, every single one of these authors are saying that everybody can do it. I'm everybody. Let's try. I just started doing practice sessions on friends and families animals, slowly convinced myself that I was doing it, and then created Instagram, Facebook, and did readings for strangers, did well. And then that's just how it.

Took off. You got to convince yourself first.

Then I made a TikTok, and within a week of TikTok just exploded, went viral, and that's when everything took off.

Can you talk to all animals? Yeah. Living and dead. Yep. I hit a squirrel once, dead center of the back. I was just over it with a heavy electric bike. And he looked at me after I went over both wheels, boom, boom, and just looked at me and then ran away. Is he okay?

I don't know the answer to that, but what you can ask yourself when something like that happens, why were you out of alignment? Were you going somewhere you shouldn't have been going? No, I was coming home. What were you? Going too fast?

Were you stressed? I was on a little electric bicycle going down my street, and a squirrel ran out in front of me, and I happened to hit him. He was in the wrong, in fairness.

When you get into a car accident or something happens, it's because your energy, the essence of you, something is off. Oh, no. That's a conversation for another day maybe.

But.

If you're truly in alignment, that shit doesn't happen.

So you're saying it's my fault that the squawk ran out in front.

Of you? Probably.

Because of my... Interesting. Were your parents so proud of their, I'm going to say little daughter because you're a small person, she's going to be a lawyer. That has to be something for a parent. And then you say, No, forget all that. I'm going to talk to animals. It was an.

Interesting shift. My parents are very supportive, so they were all for whatever made me happy. However, when they were moving me out of my center city law office, they were a little irritated that day, and I could sense it. But I mean, they've been supportive since the very beginning, but it definitely was an adjustment.

So now they're proud.

Of you? I mean, they were always proud, but they were. They were supportive.

Okay. My parents were never supportive, but they were never not supportive, and I appreciated that.

So what does.

That mean? I don't know exactly, but I feel like my parents were never like, Oh, you should chase your dreams. It was never that. But they weren't like, They were fine with me doing it. All right, good luck.

But you're happier doing what you like doing.

Am I?

Yeah. Where are you.

Originally from?

Pennsylvania, outside an hour north of Philadelphia.

Do you like Philly? The people are so intense.

I don't like any city.

Do you go into Philly often?

Never. For the airport.

What about the accent?

Do I have an accent? No.

Did you ever pick it up?

I mean.

When I was little-Did you ever say John? Did you ever say John?

As in John? Is it John? Like the bathroom?

No, not John. John, how do you say it?

Like John? Like, hey, you? John? No.

You never say that? No. But they use that term a lot, right? Hey, John?

I just think that's like gangster talk anywhere you go.

No, I've never heard it in my life.

But you said it, so you heard it somewhere.

No, I heard it. It was written down for me to ask you by somebody that cares.

About Philly. I used to say water.

You say.

Water ice? No, I used to say water.

What about ice? Water ice.

Water ice.

You know that no one else on the planet knows what that is, right?

I don't like water ice.

Right, but.

Do you know that- Rita's water ice?

No one knows the words water ice. That doesn't mean anything to normal people outside of Philly.

I don't think that's true. You don't have Rita's water ice?

No, I don't have Rita's water ice. And no, I still don't know what it is.

It's flavored ice.

Right. There's a term for that, and it's not water ice.

What do you call it? Shaved ice.

That's what we call it.

Who says.

Shaved ice? Hawaiian. The Polynesians.

I'm neither of those. No. I used to say crick.

For creek. I can figure that one out.

But I don't say that anymore.

You ever been to Bucky's? No. Bucky's. It's from Texas. It's in the south. It's huge, in the middle of nowhere, gas stations. And they've got a Brisket station in the cleanest bathrooms in the world. And that's what they're known for.

I don't even know what a Brisket is.

Is it a biscuit? No, Brisket is... I just don't know how you've studied law and you don't know what brisket is.

Are you single?

Married. Happily? Yes.

Nice. Now, for the first seven years, it.

Was chaos. Why is that? Because you weren't happy with your profession?

Well, that he was fresh out of the military. We were just a disaster from the beginning. But now we're best friends and we have.

Two little poodles. I have a poodle.

I was just going to say, do not like small dogs?

I do. I love small dogs. Okay, good. I was always one of those people that really liked dogs more than kids. Then I had my own children, and that cemented it. I definitely liked.

Dogs more. Still dogs.

Definitely more. Did you have lots of pets growing up?

Not really. We had a dog when I was younger that I don't really remember, but I had bunneys, hamsters, some fish.

Why don't you go back and talk to your dog that you had as a child?

I have a couple of times.

And what did he, she say? I don't remember. I'm not calling her he, she. I just didn't know the gender.

She.

Tasha. I had a dog named Tasha growing up.

Black Lab?

No, St. Bernard. We had Tasha one and Tasha two. The first one died within like three months. So then we just got another one and we just call it, well, let's just call this one Tasha two. Makes sense, I guess. My dad buried it literally right behind our garage. You know how big of a hole you have to dig for a 200-pound St. Bernard? It was just insanity.

Did you have a bulldozer?

No, we hand-shoveled it. This is in in St. Louis, Missouri. If anybody lives on Fondilac in my old childhood home there, you probably dug up some remains and thought it was a dinosaur, but it was just my old dog that only lived for three months.

Why? Only three months. I think we.

Didn't do -What did-you do? St. Bernard's get hot. He might have heat stroke. I don't know. I have no idea why he died. I was a child. It's dad's fault. We had lots of dogs growing up, and we moved constantly. Whenever we moved, my dad just got rid of the dog. That's sad. Insanity. Yes. I never even thought to ask, Well, why can't the dog come with us? He's like, Dogs don't move with us.

That's why you love traveling with your dog so much now.

Look at you. You are smart. You just have a gift. You just have a gift of listening to people, and then you can just spit it back at them, and then they hook, line, and sinker.

But that's what you do for a living.

Fair enough. Yeah. Now, do you feel like there's people, you say you teach people to do this. Do you feel like there's people in this line of work that are taking advantage?

I think there's there or people like that that exist in every profession.

Sure. But this has to be skewed way more snake oil salesman than other professions.

No, because I don't think anyone would get into this if they didn't have a heart for the animal.

But this is like, I assume people are just wanting to have some connection with their animal on some level. So my question is, are you forced to always give more positive spins on what you're hearing or seeing?

I just share what I receive. People always ask me, has the animal ever said that they hate their life, they hate their family? And the answer is no, because people who are paying me to do this probably care about their animals.

Right. But some of these animals probably were rescues or adopted from a shelter, which is a great thing. But maybe their previous owner sexually molested them. Has an animal ever told you that they were sexually molesting?

No, I can.

Confidently say no. What about kidnapped? Has an animal ever said, Hey, I've been taken. This isn't my rightful owner.

Nope. But I had an animal say they voluntarily just left. It was a pig. He left where he was because he hated it and they didn't have enough time for him.

A lot of times when someone commits a horrific crime, they like to go back and they stand and they like to... In movies, I'm based on this on movies, they go back to the police line and they're just watching like, Oh, I wonder who did this. I'm thinking maybe there's a guy out there that sexually molested his dog and then wants to get a reading just to see if his dog's going to talk.

I'm very thankful that person has never crossed my path.

That would infuriate me if I was rated out by my dog. Have you ever seen The Shaggy DA?

No.

That's a movie you should watch because that lawyer became a dog.

What?

The Shaggy DA. It's a Disney movie. It's a kids' movie.

Does The Dog Die? Because if The Dog dies, I can't watch it.

No, the dog doesn't die, but the dog turns into the lawyer. The lawyer turns into the dog. It doesn't matter. Or one or the other, it's a kids' movie. It might be one of those Disney movies where at the beginning of it, it says we know that there's some horrible racial thing, but we are going to just leave it the way it was because it was a different time in the 40s.

Is it a black and white or color?

I think it's in color. Isn't it like Dick Van Dyk? Was it Dick Van Dyk? It's not Dick Van Dyk, but it's a bit similar. You sure it wasn't Dick Van Dyk? I look it up. I don't think so. You sure? You know those movies where all of a sudden I can hear women's thoughts and the person walks around and they're bombarded. Is that how your life is where you're just hearing animals talking to you at.

All times? No, I think I can speak for a lot of animal communicators most that it's setting the intention to have a conversation with a specific animal.

Talk about the money. You charge 550 a session and you have a waitlist of 10,000 people. Please explain in detail how I break into this profession and whether or not I could do 30 sessions a day.

You cannot do 30 sessions a day. I do one a day.

How did you come up with 550?

It used to not be that, but the demand was so high. And now my sessions used to be an hour, so I used to be 3.75. And now naturally, I don't know why, they're no less than an hour and 20, so price.

Increase with that. If you have a weight loss this long, I think it's time to-I.

Can't go more than that. I still want to be accessible to people.

Are all house cats total dicks?

No. Do you have cats?

I don't, but that's only because of allergies.

Say.

Me too. I would love to have a cat if it wasn't for my allergies. I don't want to just take medicine every day. Talk to me about your drug problem with ayahuasca. You used ayahuasca, and then you said that that showed you the the realm of where all communication is possible. What about shitting your pants and vomiting on yourself?

Okay, so let's wait a second. I'm going to answer that. Good. Ayahuasca. Okay, I've never shit myself. Good. Never throw up on myself.

People do, though.

I'm told. Very rare. I mean, you purge, but it's not like you're throwing up like you're drunk or sick. It's an energy purge. So it feels good coming out.

When you're purging- I've never vomiting and it felt good. I mean, I guess sometimes you need it to come up, but it's always a painful, not the direction things are supposed.

To go. But when you threw up, you were either sick or drunk, probably. In ayahuasca, you're neither sick nor drunk. You're on drugs. No, not a drug. It's two plants.

Okay, plants can.

Be drugs. You can't be drug tested. There's never been a trial on it because they can't prove anything and there's nothing to test.

Don't lawyer.

Me about drugs. I'm just saying, but when you purge, sometimes you feel like you're filling your bucket, and then you look at it in the morning and it's like two spits. There's like nothing. It's just energy and your life changes and.

Everything gets better. How often are you doing ayahuasca?

In the beginning, we did it often, but it healed my marriage. Now, maybe once a year, twice a year.

Do you get excited.

For it? No, it's not fun. Okay. Oh. Heck, no. I mean, it's excitement in the sense of you know your life is going to get better in some way. That's why you do it. It's not like a trip or let's go have fun with my friends this weekend. No, because it's very uncomfortable.

Should I have my kids do it?

Who's going to listen to this podcast?

I don't know. I'm going to check with my pediatrician on if I should give my children ayahuasca. Because normally she doesn't side with that type of stuff.

I'm curious. Yeah, you maybe don't want to ask that question.

No, I'll ask her. I'll say, What do you think? Do you think we should give my kids ayahuasca? Are you a vegetarian? Vegetant?

Vegetant.

When did you become vegan?

Probably nine years ago, but it was before the animal stuff. I just had a lot of digestive issues. Me too. When I was growing up, I would only poop like twice a week. It was awful.

I used to do that, too. I would poop once a week. My mom said I'd get too distracted and I wouldn't poop, and then I'd get backed up. Then I'd sit on the toilet for like two hours just screaming I had to miss school that day.

We're supposed to poop twice a day.

Huh, well, now I poop just constantly.

That's good. Well, not good. It's constantly.

And in public. Not in a bathroom. Like on the street? Yes. Okay. Like a better version in the street. Recently I shattered.

A record. You might get arrested.

No, you can't get arrested for pooping on the street. In public? Yeah, if it happens, it happens. There's no law against having an accident.

I mean, I guess if it's an accident, but if you're always doing this.

I'm not always doing it, but I'm saying I have IBS. And it's like recently it happened twice in one day.

You might need to work on fixing.

Your gut. No, I know my gut's a wreck.

Yeah, we should maybe talk about that.

Well, today, just for this interview, like I really don't eat this morning until after this is over.

You should talk to my husband. Why? He does all digestive stuff.

Oh, man, he could... I should do that.

Because that's disruptive.

To life. No, it is. But it's also a good story at every party.

I guess if that's the most important.

Maybe secretly, I like the thrill of, Oh, no, I'm about to shit myself once a week.

Well, because you're getting rid.

Of toxins. No, I think I like it because it allows me to tell my wife I can't go someplace.

Well, maybe you need to work on that with your wife. Like, if you don't want to go somewhere.

Don't go. That's what I do 99 % of the time. But in a relationship, it's a give and take. So one % of the time I have to give. Have you ever communicated with the Philly fanatic?

Like the people?

No, the philly fanatic. He's the mascot. He's a big animal.

No, because he is a person. Is he a person? I talk to animals.

I don't think so. All right. Do you want to see a photo of a dog?

Your dog or just a dog?

What information do I have to give you?

To communicate.

Yeah, I don't know. Picture.

Name.

You want a name? What's your.

Dog's name? Carl. Okay. Male.

Male.

Living or deceased?

Living.

Okay. Picture, sure. That's it. Let's do it. That's all you need. That's all I need.

Okay. Don't hold my phone. I've got weird folders.

I'm just going to take a minute to connect.

I'll be here.

Okay, good. So Carl Living. Do I know.

How old he is?

No.

Okay.

So the first thing he's showing me is walking on hardwood floors like he slips out sometimes. Don't say anything. I'm going to share a couple of things that come through, and then I'll ask for your response. It's like he doesn't have the grip that he used to. I don't know if this is like he can't jump up to where he used to be able to, but the mobility, is that something going on with the floors? No. No. Come on. No. Slipping? No. No, I don't believe you. Let's see what else he says.

Okay.

Hold on. Don't give me details.

I want to.

So he says that when he's often in your face, trying to get your attention, trying to get your attention, trying to get your attention. Too often you're not paying attention to him when he wants you to pay attention to him, and you need to be more focused on him. Have you been really busy lately, or do you find that when you're at home you're not giving him the attention he wants?

I think that's fair. What I would say to him is.

Bro-i'm seeing you standing. So it's not like.

You're on the couch. I like to stand when I'm talking to? But no, I've got a lot on my plate.

Let me see what else he wants to say.

Let me-What do you mean? Who cares? It's your dog. I know, but there's stuff that I want to know about. Of course, he wants attention. He's a burn a doodle.

Okay, let's see what else he wants to share, and then we can ask him questions. Okay, this is a cliché thing to say, but not all dogs love this. Is there something you do out back? But there's like a throwing action that you're doing. He loves chasing it, but it seems to be different than it used to be.

You're talking about the sex.

No, I'm not. Don't give me more details.

Than I need. I'm not giving you more details. Does he like fetch? What's the question?

Not with a stick. But I'm seeing this.

Action of you guys-We're not from the 1960s.

-outside. With a stick.

It's you, not your wife. You're throwing something, and he's loving it. He doesn't seem to be very fast.

He's.

So fast. No, but getting it.

Carl can do anything.

But he can. But do you see him slipping? Because maybe he.

Would get-He doesn't slip. He doesn't slip. Drop it. He doesn't slip.

But he might like carpet better, so he can run in a prance. No, carpet better.

A runner. I'll tell you what I want to know.

Why.

Does Carl take a shit in my movie theater?

Because he's trying to tell you something.

I know. What is he trying to tell me? If I let him down in the movie theater, it's got shag carpet that's really long, and he likes to poop down there. I think he thinks it's grass.

Or he's mad that you're too busy and not paying attention. But let me ask him. All right, Carl. Why are we shitting in the movie theater?

Infuriating, especially if you don't go down to the movie theater for a few days, and then all of a sudden you go down there and my son is like, Dad, there's a poop in here.

Let's see what's going on.

I'm like, Is it hard? He's like, It's rock hard. I'm like, It's been there for a while.

When you guys watch movies, hold on, before you get... Wait a second. We don't watch movies. No, wait a second.

I did recently just watch that Barbie movie. Did you watch it?

No.

It was so cute.

But it was real life. It wasn't figurary. It was like.

People, right? Yeah, it was Margo Robbie.

Okay, wait. We're going back.

To the poop.

What do you think of Margo Robbie? I don't know who that is. Are you serious? I don't know anyone. She's beautiful. Oh, my goodness. Don't know anything about her.

If Margo Robbie-.

Did she play Barbie? Yeah.

I just... My wife, when I look at my wife, I just wish it was Margo Robbie every day.

No, you don't.

Well, that's true because I hate an Australian accent. But that aside...

Poop session now. Hold on. Please. Okay. All right. Why does Carl like pooping in the movie theater? Because it's him wanting... He gets your attention, and then it forces you to do something that he wants you to do, or that he knows you're going to do, which has come up to him, whether you're saying, Why are you doing that? Or, What are you doing? I think if you take some time to just be present with him, whatever that might be, that's going to lessen.

Why does he bark at my wife every time she walks into a room? Let's say, Carl is right here. My wife gets up to go to the bathroom and then comes back into the room. He's going to bark when she comes back in the room. Okay. And it's a very... It's a real bark. He's got a loud bark. Okay.

He just feels like he has this very protective nature. But it's interesting that it's when your wife comes back in. So let's see why he feels that he needs to be protective here.

I got a hunch.

Hold on. Don't tell me.

I'm not going to tell you. I'm going to pay $550 to hear from you.

You're not paying $550?

I will if you get this one, if you can figure this out because, man, it's annoying.

So, barking at the wife. What's going on, Carl?

She got really mad at me for naming him Carl. Do you know what my wife's name is? No. Carly.

Oh, my gosh. So she doesn't like his name still.

Well, she doesn't like dogs. Oh, my gosh.

So Carl saying that your wife is really loud.

Oh, my gosh. She has a piercing voice.

Yeah.

-but truthful. -i've had insanity how loud it is.

But she actually does, or are.

You just joking? No, I'm not joking. She has a loud speaking voice, and she doesn't ought to whisper, and she also doesn't know proximity.

Okay, wait. Don't give me details. Because then if I say something accurate, you're going to be like, I already.

Told you that, Nicky. Okay, wait.

I don't think the loud voice is why. That's just what he said. So let's see what else is there.

Just so loud and annoying.

What can we do to stop this, Carl?

I know what he's going to say. We have to kill my wife, which isn't a horrible idea.

Hey, you got to stop interrupting me because then it distracts me.

No wonder these things are.

90 minutes long. No, I don't do it with the people. I do it in my own room by myself.

Do you need.

Some ayahuasca? No, I don't need ayahuasca. I'm ignoring all of you right now. You can talk if you want. It won't matter. Okay.

Dean Jones started in the shaggy DA. Dean Jones. Also, Herbie.

The love bug guy.

The voice of the car? No, the car didn't talk.

It was beeped. He says that she never shares her food and he gets pissed. What?

Do you- No, we don't give her him.

Table food. Right. Does he get scraps things fall and she's so offended. Your wife doesn't ever do that. He thinks that's.

Highly offensive. No, she actually appreciates that he eats all the food that falls to the floor from the.

But she doesn't give it to him.

No, she never gives.

It to him. Yeah, he wants her to.

Well, so you're saying my dog likes food? Well.

Are you going to stop barking, Carl? I just think that he's not going to stop barking until your wife respects his space. So whatever that means to her and to you guys, I think that's going to make a difference.

I'll talk to her. I bought you a gift. I didn't buy it for you. I just give people that come on my show a gift from my house. I know. Because I don't want it anymore.

Is it your movie theater?

I'm giving you my movie theater?

I don't know. No.

Just something for your place.

Oh, my goodness.

I thought you would like this.

Wait, who are these dogs?

That's Ava and that's Castro. Castro, dead, but really loved him. Really loved him. You're flying home today?

Yes, I can't.

Take that on the plane. You can take this on the plane. I know. People will love it. People are fans. You just let them know. I'll ship it to you then. Here, take your gift. What am I going to do with this? Do you have a fireplace?

I can't take this home.

You guys, that'll be nice. Thanks. You're welcome.

It'll be a nice backdrop.

Did you want to talk to Castro or no? Did you have anything to say to him? He's the black and white one. If you want to just before we go. Because he's the one that meant everything to me. So how... He died. I don't need to tell.

You when it happened. Don't tell me. Okay, so Castro. The first image I got, I don't know why, is a baseball cap. Do you wear baseball caps or would you put a baseball cap on him?

I wear hats all the time to hide my.

Balding spot. Like a stereotypical baseball cap? Sure. Like a regular cap?

Okay. A baseball hat, sure. What do you call it? We just call them hats nowadays.

A hat could be like a sombrero.

I don't wear a sombrero. Is that what you thought? Is that what.

You got from Castro? Okay, show me a baseball cap. Why is this important?

Is this going to be about the time that I stuck my finger in his butt?

When you guys were out at the park or out, it looks like you're not just walking down the sidewalk. It looks like there's a lot of grass, but you are holding him while walking, wearing your baseball cap. Would you hold him a lot outside?

Yeah, I held him all the time.

Okay.

As you can tell from.

The said photo. But I mean while walking.

No, I carried him a lot. Okay. But normally he loved walks, but I carried him whenever that wasn't uncommon to carry him.

Yeah, he loved being in your arms, you're walking outside at a park. There's a lot of grass where he could be running around you, wearing a baseball cap. He loved that. What else do you want to say, Castro?

That's all he wanted to say. Let me finish. He's been.

Dead for- I can only get one message at a time.

Something juicy or tell me how death was.

I got an image of him throwing up, regurgitating.

Oh, good for you. Did he do that a lot? Oh, my goodness, he did it all the time. He was a puker. Okay. Good for you. That's the first. I'll give you that one. That and how loud my wife is.

But you have to remember, too. Like you're talking, they're laughing.

No, I know. Those are the idiots. But the puke, he... At first I thought it was just going to be a car sick thing, but it was his whole life. The thing is in the middle of the night. And you knew you had about five of those before it was coming out. So it was get him off the bed, get him into a shower if I was in a hotel room, or get him hang his head out of a window. I've done that before.

They bring up these messages so you know, Hey, it's them. This is me. All right, Kashra, what else?

What.

Do you need to tell us about your passing? Kashra, Dad wants to know about your passing.

I don't know if I really want.

To know. Don't tell me details.

I'm so sad.

He said that it was not a surprise for him. It feels like it was scheduled. Were you euthanized? Did you tell him transition? Oh, yeah. He says it wasn't a surprise. It was scheduled. He knew it was happening. He's stressing that he wasn't surprised. So I'm thinking that's why he's sharing that because you were maybe worried that, was he okay with this? Yes, he knew about it. What else did we need to know about it? He said, I didn't feel any pain. Were you experiencing physical pain beforehand, Castro? He said, I was feeling physical achiness, but it feels like closer and closer it got to the day he actually passed. He had no pain but had no feeling, really. I just been seeing him lying down a lot, but he's totally happy and he's not upset. But it just feels like he's a little bit separated from the physical body. Was there a shift in... Did he just stop moving?

I mean, yeah.

Laying down, like really just wasn't getting up.

Sure. Yeah. No, he was... The last month, I basically just brought him around.

Okay, so he's telling you that in that last month, I guess, when he wasn't moving around on his own, he was not in pain during that last month.

Well, then I shouldn't have put him down. No, no.

No, no. I still should have. Oh, yeah, because he says he knew about that. But he wants you to know because he's saying that in your mind, you were worried that he was in so much pain during that last month. And did I wait too long? Did I do it too soon?

Did I not do everything? It was the holidays, so I was like, Can we just hang on for a few more days so I don't associate, Oh, yay, let's open presents and kill our dog.

So he wants you to know that. What else is that?

Do you celebrate Christmas?

No. You don't. I mean, I grew up very Catholic. I'm in a Catholic family. I don't know. Maybe it was just growing up, like my mom being stressed about money. I just have a thing about people spending money on me that I don't need stuff. I don't want you to feel like you have to buy me something. So I don't like the whole gift thing, even the birthdays.

Can I take that? Can I have that back?

Well, no, you gave it to me already. But gifts on Christmas or gifts on your birthday or you have to do this or whatever.

I forget the gift element.

But like Santa?

Yeah.

Isn't that cute? No, it's a lie. You're lying to your kids and then they find out and they're heartbroken.

No, I wasn't heartbroken when I found out that Santa wasn't real. My mom made me... I don't know, I just remember feeling like I was a big boy. Like, okay, don't let your little brother know, but this is... I don't know. But this is, I don't know, I just remember feeling like I was still excited because it was still like the whole festiveness of the holiday was exciting. Right.

What about the pressure then when your friends still think Santa is true? And then what.

Do you do? I don't know. You just don't tell them.

When I have kids, I don't think I'm not doing Santa.

All right, lucky kids. My kids.

Are not going to suffer as a result. Wait, let's go back to Castro.

Who doesn't like to get a gift?

Castro said that you let him give you a kiss on the lips and/or nose.

Oh, sure.

But it's unique to him.

All.

Holes were in play. So not other dogs, just him. Like he was saying, This was special. Dad, let me do this. Me, not the other siblings. So is that something unique?

By siblings, you mean the other dogs? The other dogs. Right.

Like, is that something that it was unique to him with you?

Yeah, probably. Yeah.

So he likes that. He likes that. He's reminding you of that.

His breaths were rancid, too.

Do you want me to ask him a specific question?

No, he was a good dog. Tell him I loved him. Nicky.

Daniel.

Thank you for taking time out today to talk to me. I wish you all the best. And let's do it again when my next pet dies.

Let's do it. But that was really sad. But it's also not sad because then fun messages come through.

I'll hit you up after I do my first ayahuasca experience. I'll let you know how it goes.

You have to go to the right guy, Hummingbird Church in California.

All right, I'm going to hit up Hummingbird. It's not just that Sammy has had his world torn apart by the conflict. It's not just that he has lost everyone that he ever loved. And it's not just that Sammy is only seven years old. Right now, children are being forced to live through unimaginable horrors in Gaza and around the world. And it's not just.

On March 16th, 2000, two sheriff's deputies were shot in Atlanta. Jamil Al Amin, a Muslim leader and former black power activist, was convicted. But the evidence was shaky and the whole truth didn't come out during the trial. My name is Mosie Secret. When I started investigating this case in my hometown, I uncovered a dark truth about America.

He said to me, You don't need to take care of them for not doing something to pain you or something like that. I said, No, what are you talking about? But I had no idea who he had become.

That's how he approached you? You know what he meant when he said that?

Yeah, I'm.

Thinking murder in a minute. I think.

That's what he was thinking too. From Tenderfoot TV, Camside Media, and iHeart Podcasts, Radical is available now. Listen to the new podcast, Radical, for free on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

When Walter Isaacson set out to write his biography of Elon Musk, he believed he was taking on a world-changing figure.

That night, he was deciding whether or not to allow Starlink to be enabled to allow a sneak attack on Crimea.

What he got was a subject who also sowed chaos.

And conspiracy. I'm thinking it's idiotic to buy Twitter because he doesn't have a fingertips feel for social, emotional networks.

And when I sat down with Isaacson five weeks ago, he told me how he.

Captured it all. They had cans of spraypaint, and they're just putting big X's on machines. And it's almost like kids playing on the playground. Just choose them up left, right and center. Then like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, he doesn't even remember it, getting the bars, done an excuse, being a total. But I want the reader to see it in action.

I want to thank Nikki for being on the show and for letting me know what Carl's been thinking. Carl, was she accurate? Did she say everything the right way? Do you like being on a podcast? Oh, good boy. Oh, good boy. Oh, I can tell what he's saying right now. He's saying, I like being scratched. Yeah, I've got a gift. Here, you stay there. Put your head... Oh, good boy. Nothing to plug. Boys wear pink. Check that out. Karl and I will be on a walk every day. We walk at least three miles a day. Is that right, Karl? Oh, you're full of shit, Daniel. We walk every three days, maybe one mile. I know, but I like to tell people that I walk you every day three miles because that's what a good owner would do. His breath doesn't stink. I don't brush his teeth, but his breath doesn't stink. And maybe that's because I use a good dog food, just food for dogs. I need you to sponsor the show. Your dog food is great. My dog loves it. Both my dogs like it. It's just very expensive. What do you think I pay for dog food?

I don't know the answer. It seems like it's a lot. I'm getting the sign to wrap it up. Thanks for listening. I'll see you next week. You do whatever you want. Go ahead.

Once upon a time in a.

Saw-the-way land.

Then Mommy said he can't throw it out of your mouth. So one day it will be 20, tot it all aside and they thought they'd throw aside. And they went outside. And then the man won't. He left on you and they melted. The end.

Once upon a time, there was a charity that made books written by children for children. They sent their books all over Ireland and they saved up to 45 euro on every pack of stamps they bought. But it wasn't magic. It was their unpused commerce advantage card. It gives charities like Kids Own Publishing Partnership great discounts on their sending. Get your advantage card at onpust.

I'm thinking it's idiotic to buy Twitter because he doesn't have a fingertips feel for social, emotional networks.

The book launched a thousand hot takes, so I sat down with Isaacson to try to get past.

The noise. I like the fact that people who say, I'm not as tough on Musk as I should be, are always using anecdotes from my book to show why we should be tough on Musk.
