I’ve had some people tell me I should repost this interview with Greg. We recorded this 5 days after Helene devastated Asheville and before major media outlets realized what Greg and Cristina were doing to help. I was so thankful I had a platform to interview Greg that Monday...

Elon Musk is so famous you'd think you've heard it all. So when Jimmy Soni interviewed him, he opened with the one question that humanizes him. Jimmy asked about Greg Kouri, a close friend and early investor in Elon's first company, Zip2. Greg died at a very young age: "I said, Elon, I want to begin our interview a little bit differently. I had read about this gentleman that had helped you early on in your life. I found his widow, and we talked. Can you talk about him? There's a pause. And he goes, 'Oh my god.' He gave me this minute long meditation on Greg and their friendship and everything that it meant to him. Nobody's talking to him about Greg Kouri. The human beings that I interview, they have lives that exist outside of the very narrow frame of reference that we see them for. What's the thing that they never get talked about that reveals something about their character?"

[He] perished yesterday in a tragic plane crash with his family in Statesville. I met him twice. He was just a great young man. What a tragedy that is, with his whole family.

Back in 2022 I had my first News interview. My child, my mom were also interviewed and we were under the impression this was about how I’ve been treated so poorly by our State Government (Michigan) and Healthcare system. This interview ended up being HEAVILY EDITED and turned into a sweetheart piece. My trainer, gym owner, myself and family were VERY UPSET that all this important info was edited out. The interview started out with “So Brandy you were addicted to Fentanyl?” I know the look on my face was SHOCKED and I said “NO that’s not anything I said to you when we talked the first time, of course fentanyl was used to put me asleep and keep me alive during ALL my spinal fusions, but I didn’t use FENTANYL after the surgery” All that was edited out. It was this moment we all realized how MSM used me and was hoping I played along with the whole narrative “Opioids BAD, I’m an addict and now I’m better” This reality check was what fueled me to start calling out OPIOID PROPAGANDA.

This is the harrowing reality of what detransitioners face, says Chloe Cole ⭐️: “The moment that I detransitioned, I was human garbage to them. I was subhuman even. … They told me: ‘This is all your fault. Don't put this on us. You were the one who said yes, you were the one who wanted this. You were a complete idiot for not knowing that you weren't truly transgender. So don't come crying to us. And you should shut up about this because you might scare somebody out of getting the care that they really need. And you are a waste of resources. You are a waste of the love and support of your family. You didn't deserve the support of your doctors. You didn't deserve any of this. So stay quiet and stop being a problem.’ …There were people who were trying to compel me to retransition, people who were trying to tell me to kill myself, even just for the fact that I was going against the dogma. And I stayed low for a little bit. I apologized to the same people who were abusing me because I was a freshly traumatized 16 year old girl. I had been bullied in school before, but nobody had ever treated me this horribly over such a painful part of my life. But after a while of being painfully isolated. I started to really think the way that they are treating me is not deserved. I'm speaking to nothing but my experience, to the way that I feel and to reality. I'm going to speak up, regardless of whether they want me to or not. And I just knew that there had to be other detransitioners out there. And very quickly, I learned that they were in the thousands. And I'm sure that it's doubled, tripled, quadrupled over the years, the amount of us who are out there. We are never going to know the real numbers. …And some of the harassment, the hatred I faced over the years has gotten worse. I've been doxxed. I have had people assaulting me, chasing after me in government buildings, who have tried to hurt me, who have wished death upon me.”

A few years ago Jessi asked me if I would be interested in being her next co-host for the Bardown Beauties Podcast. People have always asked me how that came to be and this is how. I knew of Jessi when I started working with the Wild, and interacted with her initially when I was a guest on the podcast and then she and Alexis were guests on the show I hosted for the Wild at the time. But, the first summer I spent working for DaBeauty League was where I went from knowing Jessi as a professional and got to know Jessi on an incredibly personal level. This was the stuff we did that summer. We talked about life, we had fun, and she signed herself up to get some of her hair shaved off. This is one of the videos I’ve watched over and over these last few days because this is where it really all started and I’m forever grateful for it.

The world is familiar with how special Greg Biffle was on and off the track. My colleagues and I want to also introduce you to some of the other passengers on the plane. Cristina Biffle was a gifted real estate agent and had a servant's heart. She will rightfully receive praise for her work with Greg after Hurricane Helene. But as one of her best friends explains, Cristina lived a life of service and doing good

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

I’m gonna have to confess that I’ve never paid much attention to Earth Day before, but when I saw it today I had the thought, “you know, I am very thankful for this earth that God made, even with all the brokenness that’s here on it. I know we’re meant to be “good caretakers and stewards of it” while we’re here. So, it’s good to have a day to remember that...and also to remember the incredible truth that Psalm 24:1 reminds us of: “The Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it. The world and all it’s people belong to Him!” So yeah, Happy Earth Day!

Jon Bernthal defends the Shia LaBeouf interview and speaks about why he has no regrets doing the interview "And you know just the fact that I had Shia Labeouf on I've got an enormous amount of backlash, for the first time really as like a public person, kinda hatred." "And the fact that I had given somebody who could have, who may have done these things that this woman says, you know that really hurt people, and I felt fucking terrible about that man." "Did you wish you hadn't done it? No, because after talking to him and then going around and talking to women who have been victims themselves." "What I found was that so many people have reached out who said like 'I was in that place, like I was in that place where he was, in that place where I was wether I was abusive or not abusive I was getting there, and the drugs and the alcohol were getting the better of me.'" "He was 2 years sober at the time I had him on and I felt really what it was, was like a real meditation in shame, you know."

PASTOR GREG LAURIE: “Now listen to this. We ask the question, why did God allow our friend, Charlie Kirk, to die at such a young age. Why was this tragedy allowed? And my answer is simple. I don’t know. I don’t know. But I know this much. Despite this horrible tragedy that took place, God has taken it and used it to touch thousands of people around the nation and around the world.” Greg Laurie live at AmFest 2025

This is mostly one of the only people that could get me to come out of a hiatus. I’m so devastated. I don’t know if anyone understands how much he meant to me or even to all of us. We still don’t really know how to accept that our KING legend has past over. Meanwhile we are here fighting the digression. I’m so grateful but even more thankful that I got the chance to meet him, and sing with him, and know more about him. I only wish we could’ve spent more time creating spiritually. I sincerely give my open heart to his friends and family. Thank you also to the bro J M. After all conversations that me and D had. The amount of times I listened to the Jazz cafe live album, studied the BGVS and arrangements. Had Brown sugar vs Voodoo debates. You wouldn’t believe. Magic isn’t the word. Inspiration isn’t the word. He was a spirit that was unspoken of. And still IS. The Soundtrack to my most important memories that started my career. What a handed gift of a person. Damn, i know we are ALL feeling a little sad. I’m really sad. All I can say is thank you god we all got to meet one of your LEGENDS… 🫶🏽

I remember I had asked Brandon Aiyuk in the offseason if he would be down to do a YouTube live interview and he said that it wasn’t a good time and he’d let me know if something worked out. Naturally I just thought he was good off doing the interview which is perfectly fine but right after the 49ers lost to Philly in the NFCCG, he reached out and dm’d me if I wanted to setup an interview. I thought that was so cool that he really reached back out to set up the interview with me like he said he would. We did the interview, he was great, laid back, we talked ball, the chat was absolutely electric. My favorite interview I’ve ever done. I know BA has done a lot of extremely questionable things as of late but I genuinely miss this dude who just chopped it up with me on stream for over an hour and was super generous with his time.

🚨 BREAKING: Commerce Sec. Howard Lutnick slaps down claims he was cozy with Jeffrey Epstein "I met Jeffrey Epstein when I moved to a house next door to him in New York. And I met him then. Over the next 14 years, I met him 2 other times that I can recall. Two times. And that is none for 6 years." "So six years later, I met him. And then a year and a half after that, I met him. And never again." "Probably the total, and you've seen all of these documents, of these millions and millions of documents, there may be 10 emails connecting me with him. Probably about 10 emails connecting me with him over a 14-year period. I did not have any relationship with him." "I barely had anything to do with that person." "I did have lunch with him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies." "I had another couple. They were there as well with their children. And we had lunch on the island. That is true for an hour. And we left with all of my children, with my nannies and my wife, all together. We were on family vacation." "We were not apart. To suggest there was anything untoward about that in 2012, I don't recall why we did it, but we did." "I have nothing to hide, absolutely nothing."

Fathers to a son: please read this. We dropped my oldest off at college this week. He is 18. Totally ready to leave the house. Desperate for independence. This is the way it should be. But it has torn me up. Statistically we have spent 90% of all the time we ever will together. I am sad because I know I made a lot of mistakes during this time. Mainly, I was too hard on him because he was the oldest, and he was a boy. I was the oldest, and a son in my family. I repeated some mistakes that were made with me. Even though I was convinced I would do a better job. I spanked him. I used unkind and hurtful words when I thought he fell short. Things that I have learned cause more harm than good. Things I wish I could take back. Basically I was just too damn hard on him. I have learned and (I hope) improved as a father. Which benefits his little sister and brother. I wrote him a long letter before he left. I told him how proud I am of him, tried to give him some words of wisdom, but also apologized for not always being a great dad. I told him I wanted to be the greatest dad in the world, but I didn’t always know how. I explained how I was brought up, and my father was brought up, and that I had brought some stuff along as a dad that I hope he is smart enough to leave behind when he is a dad. I know my grandfather had it ROUGH. My dad had it a bit less ROUGH. I had it by comparison better, and my son did too. However I could have and should have done a better job in my link of this chain of fatherhood. I am confident my son will do better when it is his turn. To the dads out there, especially with your oldest son…try not to be so hard on him. He doesn’t need to feel the weight of all of your expectations of a family lineage, he doesn’t need to be made into a clone of you, he doesn’t have to be made ready to be your “successor”. Watch how you discipline him…think very carefully about what you are trying to do and what the expected results will be. He just needs to be a good man and to be happy. And you need to keep a good relationship with him.

Fathers to a son: please read this. We dropped my oldest off at college this week. He is 18. Totally ready to leave the house. Desperate for independence. This is the way it should be.
