Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Tonight, cryptocurrency has thrust itself to the forefront of global finance and technology with Bitcoin recently topping $58,000 USD and has become the first cryptocurrency to reach $1 trillion market capitalization.

With the dramatic gains and losses of a volatile cryptocurrency marketplace, the potential of this technology has piqued my interest as well. I will therefore be reading the original white paper on Bitcoin that started the blockchain revolution back in 2008 by the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto. Now sit back, close your eyes, and you'll start dreaming of mining that sweet digital gold... from this podcast... guaranteed.

Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Today, is Valentine's Day, love is in the air, and what better way to celebrate the evening... than by sleeping with Josh as I read The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana translated from it's original Sanskrit text, in seven parts. Contrary to popular belief, the Kama Sutra is not just a manual for sexual positions, it is more of a guide to the art of living well, the nature of love, finding a life partner, maintaining one's love life, and the many pleasure-oriented facilities of human life. But for now, we'll stick to the sex parts.

Now sit back, close your eyes, and get ready to feel the love tonight because you'll get tired... or turned on... by this podcast... guaranteed.

Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh.

Tonight, as we come to the end of a crazy few weeks in the stock market, where meme stonks have taken over the internet and the world financial system, the dramatic, coordinated short squeeze implemented by the subreddit, #wallstreetbets, caused massive spikes in the price of stock in Gamestop, AMC, Nokia, etc.

This wild speculation in the stock market made me think of the U.S. Banking Act of 1933 which was enacted in response to the stock market crash of 1929 which started on Black Thursday. The act included four provisions which separated commercial and investment banking as a way of fighting risky speculation and became referred to more commonly as the Glass-Steagall Act for the two co-sponsors, Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, and Henry B. Steagall of Alabama.

I will therefore read the four main provision of the Glass Steagall act pertaining to commercial and investment banking. These provisions were officially repealed in 1999 as commercial and investment banking activity started to grow dramatically, which is argued as being one of the reasons the financial housing crisis of '08 happened.

Now sit back, relax, and imagine rocketing to the moon because you'll get tired of this podcast... guaranteed.

Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Tonight, in honor of the start of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. 4 year term as President of the United States, I want to revisit Plato's Socratic dialogue, "The Republic". Written around 375 BC, in the cradle of western democracy, Athens, Greece, it focused on justice, the order and character of a just city-state, and the "just man". It's nice to think that there will now be a more just, less egotistical, and more fundamentally capable person in the White House now then that guy who was there before. Now sit back, relax, and think of a better future to come because you'll get tired of this podcast... guaranteed.

Good evening and welcome back to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Tonight, we return to the soothing act of gardening, and what better way to start such a meditating hobby, than to read the "Manual of Gardening" by L.H. Bailey. Second Edition, published in 1910. Sometimes it's nice to stop and smell the roses... well... how about falling asleep listening to some guy read a 100 year old manual about plotting a garden... just as poignant. Now sit back, close your eyes, and imagine yourself lying on some freshly cut grass in the middle of a garden because you'll get tired of this podcast... guaranteed.

Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Tonight, a new year means a new set of intellectual property now entering the public domain, yes, this is my life now... which is why we are returning to the OG of Sleep with Josh podcasts, the Canadian Copyright Act of 1921. I feel like these days we all need a reminder of good ol fashion... laws. Now sit back, relax, and close your eyes because you'll get tired of this podcast... guaranteed.

Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Tonight, we are already over a week into the first new year with the Sleep... with Josh, and there is no better way to commemorate the beginning of this new year, than to read the calendar. All 365 days of the year 2021, every day is an opportunity, a gift, and one more day away from the dreaded year that was 2020. Now sit back, relax, and close your eyes because you'll hear what day tomorrow is from this podcast... guaranteed.

Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Tonight is our last episode of 2020 (recorded prior to Dec. 31st), a year that will go down in the medical history books... so it feels appropriate to end off with another medical book, Gray's Anatomy, first published in 1858 by British anatomist and surgeon, Henry Gray. Hopefully, this episode will be so boring, it will help you forget about the year 2020. Now sit back, relax, and close your eyes because you'll get McDreamy from this podcast... guaranteed.

Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Tonight, is Christmas Eve, and to celebrate the holidays, I will read first, the well known Christmas poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement Clarke Moore, an American poet from the 1800s. The poem is more well known as The Night Before Christmas. Now sit back, relax, close your eyes, and imagine waking up to a white Christmas because you'll get tired of this podcast... guaranteed.

Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Tonight, in the dead of winter, I will be reading the weather of the capital cities in the sunny, warm, islands of the Caribbean. I'm sure we would all enjoy spending a few days on the beach to escape the quarantine lockdowns of the world right now... but the best I can do, is read you the weather there for today, December 22nd, 2020. Now sit back, relax, close your eyes, and imagine lying on a tropical beach in the Caribbean because you'll get tired of this podcast... guaranteed.
