Health Chatter
The Politics of Health Care
Absolutely, and before I ask my question, I think I should clarify that the data is not publicly available. You have to go about certain ways
Health Chatter
The Politics of Health Care
And it really it really should be available to the public. You should be educated about your health. You should be educated about the environment that you're living in. And I think that that would influence a lot of people's decisions about their day to day life if they had access to that data, especially for people who are interested in stuff like that, like me.
Health Chatter
The Politics of Health Care
Anyways, my question, I think to kind of tie up the episode two would be to ask what the priorities are. Maybe for you and your office on a small scale, maybe on a larger scale, what the priorities are for next legislative session in regards to health policy. Everything we talked about is such a big pill to swallow, and I think it's got to happen step by step.

So I'd be interested to know what you think your next step in all of this is going to be in the next session.

What's the Eldridge forecast?
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
Alright, I'm gonna be the jerk here. Medium-low magic. So magic is rare enough to stay magical. You can go into most medium to large cities and find a magic shop. It sells common magic items and material components, as well as knickknacks meant to get regular folks in the door. Focus charms and stuff. Any magic of uncommon rarity or greater, you have to find or commission or buy at an auction.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
It's not in general, it's not generally available only. Okay.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
Do you want me to answer that? Sure. So the idea is that, yes, the PCs can have a higher level of magic because they are exceptional, but in general, magic ability is on par with, say, having a PhD. Okay. Maybe 2% of the population at most.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
The world is at war, and it is weary of it. Battle lines have been drawn in scarred countries, isolating them from each other. And getting from one place to another requires smuggling or some other passing of bribes. You don't know what else is out there.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
All right, the reason that magic isn't so common anymore is all the wars have been killing off the dragons that are the anchor for the weave in the world.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
I feel like, you know, an inciting incident. You got Lodo, Midmagic, and Wartorn going off tails as, you know, is going away and the dragons are dying. The group finds a name or something, and that's what allows the characters to progress in magic normally, where everybody else is stuck at first level at best. And so they've got to decide which of the four dragons do you take it to?
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
What side do you lean to? And it's like a beacon. Not everybody's after them, so they have to pick quickly and go. Okay.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
Yeah, you said if you need a power source or things like that, the dead dragons, the items made for them still maintain their magical power. That's actually like the weapon caches and armaments for all these countries. So they don't want the egg to hatch and there'd be more of a magical world for everybody, so they'll be wanting to take it.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
This is bringing to mind 13th Age and their icon system. Okay. You have a bunch of different icons directing things in the world, and who you align with determines who is against you and who is tenuously in your favor.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
Well, I caught on to this smuggling piece of it because I think about, like, what's going to be unique about my game. Like, there's 30 games of this con that have all the media magic and dragons and things, but, like, I don't know any games, I mean, there might be some, but where... smuggling or kind of going around the war is kind of the core thing.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
So maybe this is a stealth game, or maybe that's something I would think about. And for smuggling to work, you'd need to, Keith's original point where magic dragons and chops and stuff, you need to have a robust economy now so that In order to smuggle something and for that to be meaningful, it needs to be something that people in this place want and people in this place can't get, sort of thing.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
I think about the mechanics I can include and the kind of building blocks I need to support that kind of emergent payment.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
I don't know if this is, so I like the smuggling idea. My brain is going like basically there is some group of people that go through old ruins, which is a fairly common thing, but the goal is explicitly to find smuggling routes, which if you can find and create and kind of like map the same smuggling route, that could give you a lot of money depending on who you do that route to.
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
Just one thing that I think gets left out in these kind of epic stories that makes the world feel flat is thinking about families. People are raising children in these worlds. What does that look like in these war-torn worlds with smuggling and these factions?
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
Yeah, if you give... I just want to repeat that. If you give...
Mastering Dungeons
Live from Gamehole: Create a Campaign With Us! (MD 212)
Well, maybe there's this strange light in the sky, and you leave it for, you know, the game master to determine. Is that, like, a world-ending asteroid? Is that some sort of, I don't know, like, space-faring race that's coming to, you know, obliterate or take over or what?

Mid-zero-zeros. My family went on a trip to Prince Edward Island. My little sister and I, insufferable pre-teen book nerds, were hoping to see every place mentioned in Anne of Green Gables. My dad had other plans. His goal was to visit all the lighthouses on the island. There are over 50. Oh, Jesus Christ. That's a lot of driving around on a vacation.

MFM Minisode 417
On a drive to the capital city of Charlottetown, or Charlottetown, Charlottetown probably, Our dad spontaneously took us to check yet another lighthouse on his list. We were the only people there when we arrived, so we went to take a couple photos. My sister and I had long since clued into the meaning of the phrase, if you've seen one, you've seen them all.
My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark
MFM Minisode 417
So we weren't too keen to stay for very long. We were about to ask our parents to leave when they saw two college-age girls trying to climb up from the rocky shore with their bicycles.
My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark
MFM Minisode 417
My dad asked if they needed help, and boy, did they. Turns out they worked for a cruise ship that was docked in the city, and since they had the morning off, they asked a local boat guy, and it says captain, to ferry them across the bay so they could bike back into town on the scenic shoreline.
My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark
MFM Minisode 417
When they got halfway across the bay, the boat guy turned off the engine and began pressuring them to drink and take off their clothes since it was so hot." Ugh. They were stuck for hours with this creep on open water before he finally brought them to the lighthouse.

He boasted that they would come crawling back to him because he was their only way back to the city dock before their cruise ship left.
My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark
MFM Minisode 417
I know. The lighthouse was so remote, there wasn't a visitor center where they could get help or any other houses or businesses, and no one had a cell phone. The girls frantically asked us if we could drive them somewhere and call a cab, and it says, and the police. Oh, my God.

Undeterred, my handyman dad was able to, and then it says, dismantle their bicycles to fit in the trunk while my mom squished the girls and me in the back seat and then shoved my little sister on the floor of the passenger seat between her legs.
My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark
MFM Minisode 417
Exactly. To this day, I'm still not sure how we all fit. We must have broken countless unknown Canadian traffic laws, but we got the girls back to their ship with time to spare and to write a police report, hopefully. They even bought us t-shirts from the cruise gift shop as a thank you. Aww.

Years ago, my mom, Joyce, was working at a Target store on the receiving dock in the back corner of the stockroom. Joyce is such a mom name, isn't it? Such a mom name. From like 1987. Yeah, it's good. She was literally standing in the corner by herself counting items on a pallet when she felt a massive shove from behind that pushed her away from the corner.

MFM Minisode 417
She turned around to say, hey, what the hell? To realize no one could have been behind her, her back was up against the wall. Oh. Just then, an entire pallet full of extra shelving fell from the top shelf in the stockroom near the ceiling. Holy shit. It landed right where she had been standing.

MFM Minisode 417
Turns out there were employees in the next aisle trying to add items to that top shelf and hit the pallet of shelving, pushing it off the other side. Guys, come on. The security guard had seen it happen on the screen in her office and came running back to grab my mom and say, we almost lost you.

We had Turbo for about six months when one night he was scratching and barking at our son's door after bedtime. Usually, Turbo is pretty chill, so I assume the most obvious thing. My son has snuck a Lego or something into his room to chew on and is now choking to death, and the dog is telling me to get in there and help now.
My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark
MFM Minisode 417
I stood in the doorway, scolded him for sneaking food into his room, and Turbo took advantage of the moment to run in, snatch what was left of the candy bar, and scarf it down as fast as doggily possible. I went in thinking we had adopted a hero dog to realize that he was a snitch who would sell you out for half a chocolate bar.

Renewing Your Mind
The Barber Who Wanted to Pray
I remember first hearing Renewing Your Mind in 2002. I was so riveted by Dr. Sproul's explanation of the scriptures and his obvious gift for sound doctrine. I was totally blown away. I had come from a very... abusive childhood and at the time had been self-medicating and had wound up getting addicted to drugs.
Renewing Your Mind
The Barber Who Wanted to Pray
But after hearing Dr. Sproul and going back every day thereafter to listen to him on Renewing Your Mind, I started to develop a real hunger for God's Word. And I can't go a day without listening to one of his messages. And it's just such a great blessing. And I can't thank you all enough. I love what you're doing.
Renewing Your Mind
The Barber Who Wanted to Pray
And, you know, now that I'm, gosh, going to be 11 years into my sobriety in a couple of weeks, I can look back and really credit Dr. Sproul's inspiration with getting me where I am today. God bless you all. And thank you so much.
Renewing Your Mind
The Barber Who Wanted to Pray
I'm 86 years old and I listened to R.C. Sproul for about 10 years. And there was times when I was trying to commit suicide and He'd come up with one of those children's stories that he wrote, and it sort of got me through that. Then again, at another time, I felt like committing suicide because I wanted to give up because my family abandoned me.
Renewing Your Mind
The Barber Who Wanted to Pray
And again, I heard him do one of those children's stories and got me through the suicide feeling again. And even when I heard that he passed on, I missed some of his stories, and I'm glad they bring him on once again to describe the Bible and the love God has for us.

To the caller in the recent podcast who was concerned about her boyfriend looking up escort pages online, as Dan predicted, this is one of what are probably going to be many calls coming in to say that this is actually pretty normal.
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 956
Unless you're in a big city with a very thriving nightlife, and even then, even if this is the case, most of those pages, most of those ads probably aren't especially current. They aren't even necessarily local. What they are is pictures of very hot people wearing with descriptions of things that they would gladly do to you if you pay for the booking fee.

However, I have personally experienced through focused meditation techniques, things that seem a lot like a full-body orgasm. It's not sexual. It is spiritual. It is physical. And it is ecstatic and beautiful. And also, oddly enough, very reminiscent of MDMA.

The things that were said to me at that age, it really just cements inside of you. So if you truly want to adhere by the campsite rule, you will end things because you're clearly not attracted to this woman. And you will not say anything about not being attracted to her when you do that. This is the time when white lies are necessary. You'll say that. You know, you just start feeling it.

Hey, this is a response to the caller in episode 950 whose partner makes really off-putting noises when he comes. I think Dan's response was great. I hit the nail on the head.

I have a partner who, when she comes, makes a frankly unattractive face and I fucking love it because I know, you know, knowing her as I do, she would
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 951
I wouldn't choose to make that embarrassing face if she could help it. But that's the thing. She can't help it. In that moment, she is completely surrendered to her pleasure and in the throes of ecstasy. And that's because of something I did or something she did or something we did together. And that's amazing. And so I don't know if you can't appreciate that for the great turn on that it is.

Hi, this is for the caller who is thinking about marrying the guy that doesn't fit her usual, quote, type, and she's kind of worried about sexual attraction in the long run.

I was in exactly the same place, always dated this specific kind of type of mine, which was really based on, like, childhood things and trauma and all of that.

Hi, this is a response to the caller in episode 945 who's trying to get away from the narcissist. I have been there actually in my early 20s. I was in a similar relationship. It sucked. Everything Dan said was spot on. And I also want to add, because you said the word addiction, I would recommend treating it as one, which means no contact. I wrote a letter to my narcissist and explained that
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 946
Being in contact with him was going to mean that we eventually repeated the cycle and I wanted more for myself. And so the letter was helpful because he couldn't respond to it, blocked him on everything, blocked his number, blocked the socials. Because if he has access to you, he will pull you back in to this familiar pattern. It hijacks your brain chemistry.
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 946
There's almost nothing you can do about it if you stay in contact. The other thing I would do and did do is... Just really involve your friends and family in supporting you in this. I think it would probably go a long way to tell them, this is what I've done to try to just get this person out of my life. I need your help keeping me busy. Come with me to the bars or wherever you go to meet people.
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 946
Just really involve them in keeping you busy so that your mind is not going to just stay stuck in this pattern. I promise better things are ahead. You just need to close the door and lock it.

This message is for the caller in episode 945, the one whose wife doesn't want to have sex with him anymore after the birth and breastfeeding of two children. The question quickly becomes, how can we get this guy laid? But I feel like what he really wants is his wife back, not just as a companion, a partner, but as his lover. To me, it sounds like she's simply exhausted.
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 946
I mean, she still masturbates, so she ain't broke. My question would be, what is he doing to alleviate that exhaustion? Is he doing fully half of all the household chores? What about the childcare place? Do they call him first or the mom if the kids get sick? Does he go to the grocery store? Does he make meal plans? Does he make dinner without even waiting to be asked?
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 946
And my question would be, what is he doing to make himself more fuckable? Women have been given tons of advice about how to keep themselves attractive to their husbands. What about this guy? Does he keep himself well-groomed and smelling nice? Is he friendly and easy to talk to, nonjudgmental? Does he play her favorite music and make her favorite meals?
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 946
Is he cleaning the house in his shortest shorts and no shirt on? I feel like the most harmonious resolution to this guy's problem is to be patient with his wife, to tell her that he appreciates her willingness to open the marriage, but for now, he just wants to focus on her and their marriage. Then start planning date nights where sex isn't even on the table.
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 946
You're just out enjoying each other's company. I remember when my kids were young, I was always surprised by how quickly my sex drive would return when I would spend time away from them. Get her out of the house. Make her feel seen and appreciated and give her the time and space to heal and then come to you. Maybe she'll be your lover again.
