A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan — Episode Notes Episode: 888 - "Nuttin's Gon' Change, No One Does S***" (Friday free show) Hosts: Dan, Tom | Guest: comedian Ross McCoy Sponsors / Ad Reads My Eternal Vitality (Dr. Powers) — opening segment, interview with Andrea Dennis about her weight loss (down ~30 of a 40-lb goal), hormone replacement therapy, and microdosing GLP-1s since March; plans to stop in Sept/Oct. Jeff's Bagel Run — plugging the new limited-edition cucumber dill cream cheese; free bagel for downloading the app. Hollerbach's German Restaurant (Sanford) — pitched as a venue for fantasy football drafts ($30/person: beer, pretzels, charcuterie, dedicated draft TV); also books their "Night's Hall" for parties/events. Bearcat (promo code BDM420) — cannabis product ad. Segment Rundown Cold open / ad — Andrea Dennis interview on HRT and GLP-1 microdosing (see above). Show open — Ross McCoy intro'd as guest; bit about Ross shaving/mowing the lawn in the heat. Business/announcements — Studio "pinball meet and greet" event coming up (very limited tickets, announced last-minute); Andrew (the "pinball dude") adding more machines; Pizza Bruno sponsoring food, White Claw sponsoring drinks; framed as a fundraiser for a new app/website they're building. Tangent: lambskin condoms — Riff sparked by mishearing "chic" as a brand name; potted history of the "Sheik" condom brand (named after the 1921 Valentino film, marketed for disease prevention since birth-control marketing was illegal), plus a long bit about what lambskin condoms are actually made from. Voicemail: cousin Gary (from Texas) — Dale's older brother; called in after hearing Dale had called the show. Reminisced about Dan's late father and uncle Doug ("the funniest fuckers ever"), said Dan looks/sounds more like Uncle Doug than his own dad. Dan reflects on losing touch with Virginia family after his dad died, and on reconnecting now. Gary left a callback number and invited a visit/get-together. Health aside — Dan discusses recent heart workup: calcium score of zero, clean echo, no chamber enlargement — good news after some health scares that have him "rethinking a lot of relationships." News: Amelia Earhart — Discussion of the Nikumaroro Island "castaway theory" (a freckle-cream jar and heat-damaged glass found near an old campfire site); Purdue University's Legacy Institute sending an expedition to the island October 7, chasing a satellite anomaly thought to be her Lockheed Electra. Tangent: unsolved mysteries — MH370, giant rich-guy experimental planes that vanish, Alcatraz escapees (the "Escape from Alcatraz" pair), Billy the Kid death theories, ancient/pyramid conspiracy stuff, DB Cooper, and a long detour into Jeffrey Epstein death conspiracy theories — including the viral story about an Epstein-linked email tied to a Fortnite account ("Little St. Jeff1") that resurfaced in released files. Coal-mining oddities — Time-Life "Mysteries of the Unknown" book bit (frog found inside a lump of coal, petrified tree stump found underground); Centralia, PA mine fire mentioned as a real, "solved" phenomenon (not a mystery, just still burning). News: cemetery "niche" robberies — Three Central Florida suspects at large for breaking into cemetery niches (small mausoleum lockers holding cremains) and stealing ~$30,000 in jewelry/valuables. Long bit ranking this on a "scale of crimes" (near the bottom, close to victimless). Reddit story tangent — A woman discovered her late mother's belongings (rare rock-photography prints of Skynyrd, Tom Petty, etc.) being resold at Orlando's Thrift Con after her storage unit was auctioned off; she's trying to track down the buyer. Break plug — Ross McCoy's comedy show, "What Do You Want From Us" Moe Comedy Jam at the Funny Bone, October 17; tickets on sale "early next month." Caller: "Concrete Mike" — Grave-robbing story from his younger days selling magazines with a traveling group; friends back home (while he was on the road) robbed cemetery mausoleums for jewelry to fund LSD, made national news, several went to prison. Segues into a long string of acid-trip stories (Twister movie premiere, Walmart at 2:30am, etc.). Discussion: leaving Florida — Sparked by a BDM (fan community) thread; framed around Jordan Foley's farewell show that night at Will's Pub (moving to a small town near Nashville). Debate over whether people who don't actually use Florida's beaches/outdoors amenities should just move somewhere cheaper; examples cited include Dan's niece Daisy moving to Georgia, and general "normal American" suburban living not being tied to location once remote work is factored in. House-demolition story — Dan describes watching a neighboring house get fully demolished by an excavator crew in 58 minutes; tangent into the "McMansion" trend replacing old Florida houses on his street, and permit rules requiring a percentage of original walls to remain standing. Wrap-up / plugs — Teased "big" announcements (a possible at-sea event and a land-based event) to be revealed on Monday's BDM show (fan membership show, sign up at tomandan.com). Sign-off. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Tonight: Jordan Foley's farewell show, Will's Pub (~6:30–7:30pm), before his move near Nashville, TN. Tomorrow: Real Radio poker tournament (Dan playing). October 7: Purdue-led expedition departs for Nikumaroro Island (Amelia Earhart search). October 17: Ross McCoy's "What Do You Want From Us" comedy show at the Funny Bone (tickets on sale early Sept). Monday: BDM (fan club) show — event announcements plus continued "Mysteries of the Unknown" book bit. Upcoming ("next week" as of recording): Studio pinball meet-and-greet, sponsored by Pizza Bruno and White Claw. Notable Guests/Callers Andrea Dennis — on-couch interview guest (weight loss/HRT segment). Ross McCoy — in-studio guest, Orlando comedian. Gary (cousin from Texas, Dale's older brother) — voicemail. "Concrete Mike" — phone-in caller with the grave-robbing/acid story. ### Website: https://tomanddan.com/ App: https://tomanddan.com/app Become a BDM: https://tomanddan.com/registration Merch: https://tomanddan.myshopify.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TomandDanLive Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/tomanddanlive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AMediocreTime Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomanddanlive/ X: https://x.com/TomAndDanLive TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@tomanddanlive Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/tomanddan ACT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/61976/rss AMT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/18904/rss

EP 711 FROM KDF SOLDIER TO RUSSIA'S FRONTLINE: A Kenyan's INSANE Escape from the War in Ukraine
Summary of Sorath Mehla 1In this hymn composed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the central message highlights the impermanence of the material world and the supreme value of the Divine Name (Naam).The Ultimate Giver: God is the all-wise Giver, while humans are beggars at His door. Since temporal items are fleeting, the Sikh prays solely for the everlasting gift of God's Name.Omnipresence through the Guru: The Creator pervades every heart, the waters, the land, and the sky. Though hidden, God's presence is revealed within one's own heart through the wisdom of the Guru’s Word (Shabad).Escape from Reincarnation: Driven by attachment to worldly illusions (Maya) and duality, humanity remains trapped in the cycle of life and death. By connecting with the True Guru and following divine teachings, a person breaks free from spiritual bondage and avoids rebirth.Inner Enlightenment: When the True Guru blesses a seeker with spiritual wisdom, all worldly ties shatter, allowing the Formless Lord to reside continuously within the mind.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
This is a Wednesday Wins Q&A, with Larry joined by his longtime co-host Joe Bailey to tackle a question that lands for almost every married dad. Mike from Washington State wrote in about a marriage that isn't broken, no fighting, no affairs, but feels more like two coworkers running a small company called the family. He and his wife talk schedules, kids, and bills, physical intimacy has slowed, and as he puts it, he misses her even though she's only six feet away. Larry breaks down the four pillars of marriage from Lance and Brandi's work, individual, partnership, friends, and intimacy, and explains how couples get stuck in the partnership loop and skip straight to intimacy, which backfires. Joe follows with the idea of getting used to the light again after emotional disconnection, releasing resentment, and making small pursuits without attaching expectations. If your marriage feels more like a business partnership than a romance, this one is a practical roadmap back. Timeline Summary [1:02] – Setting up Mike's question about a marriage that feels like a business partnership [2:12] – Mike's full letter: coworkers running a company called our family [3:46] – Larry on his own first decade feeling exactly the same way [4:05] – The four pillars of marriage from Lance and Brandi's book [4:46] – Pillar one, individual: self-care and emotional check-ins by percentage [5:42] – Pillar two, partnership: the bills, roles, and chores, aka the partnership loop [5:59] – Pillar three, friends: shared interests and real alignment [6:21] – Pillar four, intimacy, and why it collapses when the others are neglected [6:47] – How couples skip friendship and self and jump straight to intimacy [7:26] – Disrupting the partnership loop by cultivating friendship first [7:49] – The walk-and-date boundary: be Larry and Jessica, not Mom and Dad [8:13] – Bookending conversations with appreciation so your partner feels seen [8:30] – Adventuring together and asking bucket-list questions [9:34] – Why men eradicate their own self-care and isolate [12:12] – Joe on living this exact dynamic in his own marriage [12:32] – The dark-theater analogy: getting used to the light again [13:35] – Step one, release resentment when reconnection feels uncomfortable [14:02] – Be persistent and stop attaching sex to every act of connection [14:27] – Small pursuits: flowers and a coffee dropped off at Ivy's work, just because [15:46] – Small investments compound like a financial portfolio [16:40] – Stop keeping score and get in the habit of just investing [16:59] – The car story: we love the things we invest in [20:07] – Loving your wife publicly and without agenda [20:44] – Loving her in front of the kids and her mother [21:48] – The Hitch analogy and winning over the people around her [22:14] – The marriage hack: your mother in law as your greatest ally 5 Key Takeaways Marriage Has Four Pillars — Individual, partnership, friends, and intimacy. When you neglect self-care, friendship, and quality time and jump straight to intimacy, it falls flat. Intimacy is the natural result of the other three working. Escape the Partnership Loop — If every conversation is about schedules, bills, and who needs to be where, you're stuck in the partnership loop. Break out by rebuilding the friendship: dates, walks, adventures, and conversations where you're a couple, not just co-parents. Get Used to the Light Again — After emotional disconnection, reconnecting feels awkward and uncomfortable for both people. Expect that, release resentment about it, and don't attach worst-case scenarios to the discomfort. Make Small Pursuits Without Agenda — Drop off flowers just because, and don't attach any expectation of sex, because she'll sniff that out instantly. Stop keeping score and keep making small investments, and the connection compounds over time. We Love What We Invest In — Don't wait to feel the love before you invest. As the car story shows, investment creates love, not the other way around. Love your wife publicly and without agenda, and let her people, especially her mother, become your allies. Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1516 Legendary Couple with Larry and Jessica: https://thedadedge.com/legendary-couple/ Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals (November 15, Cardinals vs Rams, State Farm Stadium): https://thedadedge.com/nfl Enjoyed This Episode? If Mike's letter read like a page out of your own marriage, pick one small pursuit and do it this week with zero agenda. Drop off her favorite coffee, take a walk where you're just the two of you again, and stop waiting to feel connected before you invest. If the show keeps delivering, follow, rate, and leave a review so more fathers can find these conversations.

Erico Montalvo grew up in Rhode Island without a father in the picture and a mother too consumed by the streets to be present — and by the time the system found him he had already cycled through juvenile detention multiple times and built an identity that the streets had shaped long before he was old enough to understand where that path was going. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what happened just days after he turned 18 — an accidental altercation with a veteran that turned into a self-defense situation that ended in the veteran's death — and what being charged with murder instead of recognized as a victim of circumstance actually produced over the ten years he spent fighting his case from inside a Rhode Island county jail before finally taking a manslaughter plea deal and accepting a 13 year sentence. _____________________________________________ #prison #selfdefense #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to FACTOR & HIMS for sponsoring this episode: Factor: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and 1 free breakfast item per box for 1 year, while supplies last until! _____________________________________________ Hims: Visit https://hims.com/lockedin to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you. _____________________________________________ Connect with Erico Montalvo: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RicoStillMadeit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ricostillmadeit/ Website: https://linktr.ee/Ricostillmadeit _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Guest Introduction 00:22 Early Life in Providence 02:00 Mother's Mental Health & Upbringing 03:13 Father's Deportation 05:00 Feeling Like an Outsider as a Kid 07:36 First Wrong Turns & Finding Identity 10:31 Gang Culture in Providence 16:00 Homelessness & Juvenile Detention 19:27 Getting His GED in Juvenile 21:00 Sponsor Segment: Factor Meals 23:07 Turning 18 & a Spiritual Warning 28:00 Close Calls on the Streets 30:40 The Night of the Incident 37:22 Fight, Stabbing, and Escape 43:03 Learning the Victim Died 43:50 Realizing the Victim Was a Veteran 47:00 Hiding Out and Seeking Help 50:03 Getting Arrested 52:54 Interrogation & Initially Charged with Murder 01:00:00 First Lawyer & a Broken System 01:05:59 Meeting Dawn Huntley, a New Lawyer 01:09:32 Adapting to Prison Life 01:13:00 Finding Faith in Prison 01:21:00 Starting to Turn His Life Around 01:30:00 Facing a 60-Year Offer 01:37:00 COVID Stalls the Case 01:41:00 Considering Trial 01:49:00 A Shocking Plea Deal: 25 Years with 3 to Serve 01:55:50 Walking Through the Sentence 02:03:11 Release and Adjusting to Freedom 02:08:00 Finding Purpose and New Community 02:14:20 No Regrets and a Mission _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

"It's not me, it's them." Four words. That's all it takes to miss the real problem.In this episode of The Inner Edge, executive coach Janet Ioli unpacks the first of seven leadership traps. This is the one she sees more than any other, and the one leaders defend the hardest. Through the story of Jack, a brilliant, fast-scaling CEO who built an empire and an intimidating reputation without ever realizing it, Janet reveals a psychological pattern so common it has a name, and once you see it, you can't unsee it in yourself.Because here's the uncomfortable truth: your team's behavior might not be telling you who they are. It might be telling you something about what it's like to be led by you.Janet shares the mirror question that starts to close this gap, and why some leaders, even with the best coaching, never fully escape this trap.This is the second episode in an eight-part series on the seven leadership traps, based on Janet's upcoming book, Escape the Traps (releasing October 2026).Chapters:00:00:00 How a Brilliant CEO Became Intimidating Without Knowing It 00:03:37 The Fundamental Attribution Error 00:05:28 What Your Imprint Is Teaching Your Team 00:08:02 The Mirror Question and the Interruption Practice 00:09:29 Next Episode: Trap TwoRead the first chapter of Escape The Traps (available October 2026): https://mailchi.mp/5d2dbf42009c/escape-the-traps-chapterConnect with Janet Ioli:Website: janetioli.comLinkedIn: Janet IoliInstagram: @janetioliYouTube: @janetioliIf you want to become more grounded, confident, and aligned with your deeper values in just 21 days, check out Janet Ioli's book Less Ego, More Soul: A Modern Reinvention Guide for Women.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
