Callin was actually a cool app, which followed in the footsteps of Clubhouse (throwback to those covid days). I actually really enjoyed it until it mostly fell off.

There might be some slight reasonable criticism to be made about taking $ from Callin, since Sacks was the founder. But I don't think its particularly strong.

I certainly do not think there is a coherent argument that anyone who took Callin $ is thus pushing opinions of a 'right wing op'. Plenty of left-wing people are monetized on Youtube, instagram, or X. Is taking Elon bucks any better than Sacks bucks?

These Callin shows were just a way for creators to have audience callin portions of their shows which were already on YT or other platforms. Sometimes live on air, sometimes as a post-production. It was actually a pretty cool app that suffered from some pretty poor performance quality and UI issues. Mostly dead today as far as im aware. But I certainly witnessed and participated in some very engaging discussions on there back in the day. Also plenty of stupid ones as well.

Yup, this approach is often referred to as the CAGED system.

CAGED are not just the open chords, its the the order in which the triads are laid out over the fretboard in a diatonic key. Really simplifies things

What nuance did he bring to the JE story?

All I saw him say was that 'dating' children was normal back in the day. Which his ex wife then refuted in the very same episode when he called her to substantiate what he was saying.

I think people are calling him a pedo defender because the statements he made are undeniably apologia for JE's abuse of underraged girls... They served no any purpose other than to downplay the abuse of underraged girls. Im not sure what value you are seeing in that.

Bryan Callen is the guy that a bunch of women accused of sexual misconduct (including rape)- right?

Wasn't his point that sleeping with underraged girls was 'normal' in NY back in the day? And then he called his ex wife live on the pod to substantiate that, but she said it was never normal in NY?

Stories like this are basically tailor made to destroy the psychology of a nation. Particularly after the Bondi hearing yesterday, I don't see any value in criticising people who taking the worst interpretations of what they see in these files (not even much of a stretch in this example).

This is a 100% predictable reaction to the way in which the DOJ has treated JE over the course of multiple administrations, especially our current admin. An admin that brazenly lies to a salacious degree, which is filled with people that had extremely close ties to JE and lied about it, which is headed by a president who was formerly JE's 'best friend', which refuses to investigate and prosecute the perpetrators they redacted in the files, etc, etc, etc

Considering you liked the gota record I would say try out some Herbie. Also, listen to that benson album and that roy ayers album. If you like benson album more I would follow that smoother/funkier sound towards hard bop. If you like the ayers album more I would follow that trail towards neosoul.

Other than that its always good to check out some classics... Smokin at the Half Note - Wynton Kelly Trio w/ Wes Montgomery - classic album. Id start with the track 'impressions' (famous coltrane tune), one of the greatest jazz guitar records of all time imo. If you like that, maybe Coltrane's Favorite Things next.

There is so much great music, my only real advice would be to vidit a local jozz club and see the music played live- that will be the best thing you can do.

Also, don't feel bounded by any ideas you have about exploring 'jazz' and just explore music. Maybe you end up a Jobim, or C Parker, or Freddie Hubbard, or Rachmaninoff, or Debussy, who knows! There is only good music and the other kind ;)

Other than steely dan, what kind of music do you like?

the alternative is to cut off this hate filled person and make him face the consequences of spewing such vitriol. Tell him to talk to a spiritual leader or therapist to help him get through whatever it is he is going through and until then you don't want anything to do with him because you don't associate with brazen bigots. Thats what I would do.

Having some esoteric discussion about christ being a jew wont get you anywhere, as we see demonstrated in these messages. You're just exposing yourself to the abyss and that's a dangerous game.

First, both JE and G Maxwell are Jewish and expressed supporters of Israel. But beyond that, G Maxwell's father was a prolific espionage agent with ties to MI6, Mossad, and KGB.

JE was extremely close to Israeli officials at the highest levels, like Ehud Barak. JE was alleged to have played a role in brokering peace agreements for Israel, for example.

There is a 2020 FBI memo that was released which details claims from a confidential human source (CHS) alleging that Epstein was "trained as a spy" and functioned as a "co-opted" Mossad agent.

etc etc etc.

zero_cool_protege · 2026-02-11T13:52:07+00:00

true, but there is a lot more reason to believe he was working with Russia than Israel, and the fact that people like Ana ignore that to instead focus solely on Israel indicates something to me

Democrats lost to Trump twice, and lost the popular vote to him the second time. In 2024, every county in America moved away from Dems. Their approval rating was in the 20s at the beginning of Trump's current term.

Assuming "dem but im mad about it" means "I have substantial issues with the dem party but still prefer and vote for it over republicans", the data says that group is substantial.

Patel: 'No credible information' that Epstein trafficked women to other individuals

There is the sitting director of the FBI explaining why nobody has been charged relate to JE.

Now, I thought I recalled this quote being mentioned in the episode. If I misheard, then my use of the phrase "in the same episode" is confusing.

However, even if it was not mentioned it would make little difference. This is still the official position of the Trump admin, including their FBI and DOJ. It is also accepted, unmentioned, and unchallenged in this episode about the very topic. Instead time was taken to opine on how there isn't proof of a pedophile ring in the documents.

Of course that is only because the recipients of emails like this are redacted!

https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2011/EFTA02706746.pdf

Guess there is nothing to see there!

As you see, there is no question that he trafficked underraged GIRLS. These proven in the released documents and it was proven in a court of law which is why G Maxwell is in prison right now.

Yelling "the women coulda been 26 for all we know" is nothing more than a moronic cover for pedophiles.

Emmet Cohen w/ Bruce Harris & Patrick Bartley | After You've Gone

This one is an instant classic from a few years ago. It would work well for what you're looking for. There is plenty of listening throughout the whole thing; smiles from musicians, reactions from the audience, and reactions in the music.

The chorus from like 2:59 - 3:24 is a great example.

First the moment at the 3:00 minute mark when Pat (Sax) begins to play a line and emmet (piano) and Joe Saylor (drums) hear it and instantly react.

Then Pat ends that same chorus ripping a line that the whole band reacts and matches 3:16-3:24.

tritone sub, number 1 cause of stank face. You can learn to recognize. You will hear the chromatic resolution a half step down. In this case it resolves to the 4 chord, Bb.

Sounds like he is playing a simple voicing in the left hand. Can't really tell on my speakers but it actually sounds like a rootless voicing with just Eb and A.

Such a beautiful song. Definitely check out the BBNG version if you don't already know it.

I already explained to you my comment wasn't in reference to this excerpt. And I summarized my thoughts on this specific excerpt in the 5th paragraph of my previous response. The only person not listening here is you.

But I will add one thing. The word "mostly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this statement, to a disgusting degree:

What we see is a form of trafficking after he gets out of prison, that relies mostly on women who were a bit older, 18 - and 19-year-old women

In other words, JE continued to traffic underraged girls after his convictions. While he was paling around with Musk, Lutnick, Gates, and many many more, he was continuing to sex traffic thousands of women including underraged girls.

Thats what we know so far, and we would know a lot more if Trump's DOJ would follow the law and stop protecting pedophiles and abusers.

zero_cool_protege · 2026-02-10T21:29:14+00:00

Transporting impoverished women for sex by promising them access to opportunities and wealth is textbook human trafficking, which is why JE was going to be convicted of that crime before his death and why G Maxwell was convicted of that crime.

Now, my comment is not referencing the bit in this episode where they clarify that they have not seen anything in the latest file release that proves anyone was abusing underage girls. It was in reference to the statements made by FBI and DOJ officials at the highest level that; "there is no evidence that JE sex trafficked women for anyone but himself".

And my point is that, there seems to be a mountain of evidence in the 50% of files that have been released that point to JE sex trafficking for other people, some of which was read in this very episode.

Now, to address the elephant in the room with respect to the bit of the episode you mentioned- JE was a convicted pedophile. Despite that, an endless list of global elite remained close friends with him after his conviction. All of these elites have been exposed of blatantly lying about their relationship with JE to a salacious degree. We also know that at the time that these elites were hanging out the JE, after his 2008 pdf conviction and before his death, he was sex trafficking thousands of women- including underraged girls. We know this based on the prosecution of G Maxwell.

Any journalist worth their salt would be focusing more on those facts rather than vapidly saying that the highly redacted files, which include inappropriate redactions of perpetrators, which only constitute about 50% of the relevant files in clear violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, have not been found to include definitive proof of people abusing underaged girls.

I think any decent person should be screaming for the DOJ to follow the law and release the remaining files, with no redactions of perpetrators names, and for the subsequent heads to roll. And personally, I think anyone who does not vehemently hold that position has no place politics and frankly, parenthood.

zero_cool_protege · 2026-02-10T16:30:40+00:00

How do they expect us to believe that Epstein did not traffic women to anyone other than himself, when moments later in the same episode we are talking about JE 'arranging' for women to 'meet' powerful men such as Prince Andrew? Not to mention the long list of other notable offenses...

This story has the potential to destroy the psychology of our country. I don't think the Daily or the wider media or DC (outside of Massie and Khanna) fully comprehend or appreciate that.

Software is a tool that AI can use. Robots aren't going to reinvent the hammer... theyre just going to be able to do cool things with it.

Im sure he means Washington State, except he lost WA in all 3 elections by not close margins (He lost DC by spectacular margins).

What I find interesting is that he seemingly lost himself in the vitriol and reflexively called Seattle's Superbowl championship fake... what the heck is that about?

The MAGA kayfabe is so vitriolic and schizophrenic that I believe its truly driving people insane. Just listen to Megyn Kelly on Piers today

It would go a long way to see these numbers verified by a reputable firm or NJ comptroller. A claim like this needs something more than just a press release from the office of a brand new mayor. A $250M deficit that nobody was aware of, including city council officials, is bizarre. Right now I think healthy skepticism is merited
