We break down the Dolphins' upcoming Monday Night Football clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a much tougher opponent than the Saints, Jets, or Commanders the team has beaten recently. The game presents an opportunity for Miami to silence lingering narratives about their ability to win in cold weather or against quality teams. Omar Kelly also weighs in on the team's future, predicting Tua Tagovailoa has a 95% chance to return next season and expecting Mike McDaniel to stay on, though his decision could depend on how the Dolphins finish the year.

The narratives of control have become part of the vision of our future. What does a future look like if we were to speak in terms of GOD and the gifts of Christ? Yet we choose to only discuss the futures that are being shaped by those that wish to enslave us. They tell us what our future looks like and we either agree or we complain. Choose to dream. Choose to imagine. Choose to explore the possibilities of a world outside of the the elites control. Choose a kingdom vision and let GOD help you shape it.  #BardsFM_Morning #NarrativesOfEnslavement #SeeingWithGodsHeart Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%:www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

With the arrest of a suspect for placing the January 6 pipe bombs, the FBI would like to consider the case closed. But Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) says, not so fast! Matt Kibbe sits down with his favorite congressman to discuss the myriad unanswered questions about why law enforcement officers were able to find the bombs so quickly, why they stopped looking after finding two of them, and why the Biden FBI apparently declined to prosecute this suspect for more than four years. Did Kash Patel and Dan Bongino finally get their man, or is he a patsy meant to take the fall and get the public to stop asking questions?

Facing life-altering trauma like injury/disability? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores resilience without romanticism with Joshua Dvorkin, Registered Psychotherapist/Reclamation Coach and Headway Mental Health founder. After a 2004 epileptic seizure/spinal cord injury (paralyzed chest-down, ventilator-bound with 20% survival odds), Joshua defied prognosis—off ventilator in 10 days, independent in 6 months, earning 3 degrees (Master's Psychology)—now guiding ND folks (autism/ADHD) through chronic illness/disability/transitions/LGBTQ2S+ support via radical compassion/authentic empowerment/narrative sovereignty. Key insights: Injury rebirth: Mind strength/10-day recovery; present gratitude crushes fear (beyond "stay positive"). Radical acceptance: Embrace reality, small steps close gaps (dream big, actionable traits). Narrative sovereignty: Own your story—beliefs shape reality (no pathologizing, validate strengths). Manifesting concrete: Steps over woo (research/skills import, affirmations/repetition for beliefs). Grief/pressure: Feel ungrateful/angry/anxious—use fear for freedom; peer support/community for purpose. Tools: 7-day negative thinking DM (Instagram @headway.mental.health), 7-column thought record (reframe emotions/evidence). Support mistakes: Pathologize/judge; instead, normalize/validate (safe spaces, no rushing). Society changes: Inclusive mental health first (non-judgmental, community over segregation).

When someone asks what I ‘do' for a living, there are times I want to respond with, “I tell stories.” After all, most attorneys spend their time trying to get the “full picture” of what's happening in a given case, and the best narratives give us just that. Now, unfortunately, somewhere along the way the expression, “telling stories”, became short-hand for “making stuff up”, and since there's already plenty of jokes about lawyers' relationship with the truth, my answer is typically a much-less mysterious, “defense attorney”. But as someone who consumes a fair amount of legal media - be it in books or on screen - I can tell you that truth is almost always stranger than fiction. But as my guest this week is quick to point out, just because a story is ‘strange' doesn't mean it has to be ‘complicated'. Joining me this week is Brent Turman, a trial attorney whose commercial litigation practice covers a variety of matters including business disputes, intellectual property, real estate, arbitration, and civil RICO actions. But before his legal career, Brent was an Associate Operations Producer for ESPN & ABC College Football, also producing commercials, industrial videos, in-arena entertainment, and music videos for clients throughout North America. Now he pulls from these experiences, frequently giving trial skills presentations across the country, teaching other attorneys about the strategies and tools he has used in the courtroom.We discuss how Brent found his way into the legal profession, the narrative tools from his early career have transferred into deliverable results for his clients, and so much more. Enjoy the show! 

Joshua Cutchin joins us for a conversation that heads straight into one of the most uncomfortable questions in the paranormal. Is this stuff simply happening around us, or does it sometimes feel like it's reacting to us? From UFOs that change with the times to fairies, trickster figures, and high strangeness that refuses to fit in a neat box, we dig into the idea that the phenomenon may adapt to our beliefs, culture, and expectations. We talk about fictional characters appearing in real life, the Philip Experiment, thought forms, retrocausality, and why so many experiences seem oddly playful, absurd, or unsettling. There are no easy answers here, but plenty to think about, as we explore whether the paranormal is just being observed… or if it might actually be messing with us.

With the holidays coming up, things are a bit hectic, so we're making this formerly members-only discussion on vengeance in superhero stories available to everyone! Matthew and Riki dive deep into one of the most compelling ethical questions in superhero media: the role of vengeance as a motivator for heroes, villains, and anti-heroes. Joined by comic book expert Jessica Plummer, they explore how vengeance shapes character arcs and storytelling across various franchises.When is vengeance justified in superhero narratives, and how does this reflect our real-world understanding of justice? Set against the backdrop of the Healthcare CEO killing, we analyze examples ranging from The Punisher to Batman and Inigo Montoya, exploring how different characters confront the temptation of vengeance and what this reveals about their moral compass.The episode tackles the complex relationship between vengeance and justice, asking at what point pursuing vengeance becomes an obstacle to achieving true justice. Through examples like V for Vendetta and Fullmetal Alchemist, we explore how various stories navigate this delicate balance.Other key topics discussed include:How different franchises portray vengeance as a motivation for female versus male charactersThe role of collateral damage in vengeance narrativesWhen vengeance becomes a cycle of violence and how heroes break free from itThe contrast between enjoying vengeance in fiction versus supporting it in realityHow comedy and tone influence our acceptance of vengeful actionsThe evolution of vengeance narratives in modern superhero storiesThe relationship between power dynamics and our acceptance of vengeful actionsThe conversation concludes with each participant sharing their favorite and least favorite examples of vengeance in media, offering insights into what makes these narratives resonate or fail. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

What is the most controversial program in the history of wilderness therapy? Some might say it's the very program podcast host Will White was compelled to attend as a teenager. In this deeply personal and historical episode, Will shares—for the first time in full—the origin story that shaped his life and ultimately his 35-year career in mental health treatment in outdoor settings. Sent by his parents at fourteen to a "wilderness therapy program" long before the field formally existed, Will describes how the experience built him, challenged him, and exposed him to both mentorship and harm. He also reveals how this same organization later became the center of national protest, legal battles, and cultural upheaval—rhyming in striking ways with the controversies surrounding modern wilderness therapy. This special episode serves as a teaser for Season 26, where Will explores the tangled and surprising origins of wilderness therapy, drawing from his doctoral dissertation Stories from the Elders: Chronicles and Narratives from the Early Years of Wilderness Therapy, his book Stories from the Field: A History of Wilderness Therapy, and conversations from this podcast. If you're curious about the real roots of wilderness therapy—its innovations, its failures, its controversies, and its lasting impact—this episode sets the stage for the most comprehensive historical exploration ever undertaken in the outdoor behavioral health space. This podcast is supported by White Mountain Adventure Institute (wmai.org), offering adventure inspired retreats for men and facilitated by Will White.

Summary This conversation explores the complex perceptions surrounding invasive species, examining why some are celebrated while others are vilified. The discussion delves into cultural, economic, and ecological factors that shape public opinion, highlighting the role of narratives and emotional responses in determining the status of various species. The hosts also reflect on the implications of these perceptions for wildlife management and conservation efforts. - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave a Review of the Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Art of Venison Sausage Making⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Links: Invasive Species Shirts and Stickers Takeaways: Invasive species are often judged through cultural, economic, and ecological lenses. Public perception can overshadow actual ecological impacts of species. Some introduced mammals are celebrated while others are seen as pests. Birds face an identity crisis as some are revered while others are loathed. Fish species are often categorized as beloved or villainous based on public sentiment. Utility and economic value play significant roles in species perception. Narratives surrounding species can influence their acceptance or vilification. Once labeled as invasive, species struggle to change public perception. Cultural traditions can shape how we view certain species. It's important to question our biases towards invasive species.

CannCon and Ghost kick off the week with Biden's catastrophic polling slide, breaking down the demographic collapse and why even legacy media can no longer hide voter defection. They dive into the strange evolution of the January 6 pipe-bomb narrative, the FBI's shifting explanations, and new reporting that raises more questions than answers. The hosts also tackle Trump's latest posts, the DOJ's panicked legal maneuvers, and the administration's renewed push for AI-based election regulation. From global instability to domestic political theater, CannCon and Ghost connect the dots on a news cycle defined by mixed messaging, narrative control, and institutional panic, all delivered with their signature humor and sharp analysis.

The Courtiers' Pivot and the Failing Imperial Narrative — Gaius & Germanicus — Gaius and Germanicus, in their metaphorical 91 AD Londinium dialogue, critique the Western foreign policy establishment, dismissively labeled "courtiers," regarding their systematic narrative repositioning on the Ukraine war as military circumstances deteriorate catastrophically. Germanicus argues that these elite advisors prioritize preservation of institutional status and access to executive power over accountability and honest assessment; as the military situation turns decisively against Ukraine, these courtiers seamlessly pivot from predicting Ukrainian victory to blaming European allies for failing to "step up" with additional military commitment. Germanicus draws historical parallels to the fall of the Soviet Union, noting that elites systematically rewrite their past positions retrospectively to claim they foresaw inevitable geopolitical collapses, a psychological mechanism enabling survival without disgrace or professional consequences. Gaius and Germanicuscontrast successful empires possessing unified narratives aligned with coherent strategy against the current Americanapproach, characterized as "predatory opportunism" driven by electoral manipulation requirements. Germanicuscontends that strategic failures in Ukraine—where population and material resources mathematically determine victory—expose the U.S. as a "weak and venal empire" relying upon a "pastiche" of propagandistic lies rather than the solid convergence of vision that characterized American dominance during World War II. 1918 UKRAINE

Alpha Warrior, Brad Zerbo, and Josh Reid take a deep dive into the sudden disappearance of global magnetosphere data, unpacking whether the blackout signals a technical glitch, concealed atmospheric event, or an inconvenient truth for the climate-change establishment. Using archived charts, satellite outputs, and years of pattern-watching, they walk through what the magnetosphere should look like versus the eerie data gaps now appearing across major monitoring systems. The trio breaks down solar-cycle dynamics, pole-shift timing, cosmic-radiation spikes, Schumann resonance signals, and how magnetic disruption ties into everything from volcanic activity to geopolitical secrecy. They also examine how governments and agencies have manipulated climate modeling, suppressed contradictory readings, and framed natural solar and magnetic cycles as man-made crises to sell policy and fear. With humor, deep technical knowledge, and classic After Hours chaos, the hosts explore whether the magnetosphere anomaly represents a passing blip, or a sign the system is preparing for a major shift.

Burning Bright and guest Brad Zerbo break down the emerging “Trump Doctrine” as they connect the administration's diplomatic maneuvers, foreign-policy posture, and escalating information war to a broader strategic realignment. They explore how Trump's peace deals, regional power restructuring, and refusal to follow legacy-media narratives reveal a coherent geopolitical philosophy rooted in sovereignty, deterrence, and economic leverage. From Africa to the Middle East to America's domestic political battles, BB and Brad analyze how Trump's actions, rather than pundit rhetoric, define the doctrine, and why the establishment finds it so destabilizing. Along the way they examine information-war dynamics, media manipulation, and the signals hidden inside official statements and global reactions. With humor, sharp pattern recognition, and BB's signature narrative framing, this episode unpacks how Trump's approach is reshaping alliances, exposing institutional decay, and accelerating a historic shift in global power.

In this episode of The Geek in Review, we sit down with Narrative founder John Tertan to talk about law firm pricing, messy data, and why substance matters more than shiny tools. We pick up from our first meeting at the Houston Legal Innovators event, where John had the pricing and KM crowd buzzing, and ask what he is hearing from those teams as they look toward 2026. John explains how Narrative focuses on “agentifying” business-of-law work, starting with pricing and analytics, so firms stop guessing and start grounding decisions in better data. The goal is simple, improve decisions for pricing teams, finance, marketing, and partners who want to win work that also makes financial sense.John walks through the pain points that drive firms to seek out Narrative, from low realization and high write-offs to tedious non-billable work and a lack of trust in the data behind pitches and budgets. Many firms track key metrics in scattered spreadsheets, checked once in a while rather than used as a daily guide for strategy. Narrative steps into that gap by improving the accuracy of historical matter data, identifying the right reference matters for new proposals, and supporting alternative fee structures. John explains how this foundation supports better scoping, more confident pricing conversations, and far stronger alignment between firm goals and client expectations.We also dive into John's founder journey, which runs from Freshfields associate to innovation work, then through venture-backed tech in other sectors before returning to legal. That mix of big law, startup experience, and prior success with HeyGo shapes how he builds Narrative. John talks about serving “mature customers” who expect more than a slick interface, they expect real understanding of their business, their politics, and their constraints. Relationships sit at the center of his approach, not only with clients and prospects, but also with advisors, former firm leaders, and legal tech veterans who guide both product and go-to-market strategy.The name “Narrative” is no accident, and John explains why time entry narratives sit at the heart of his product. Those lines of text describe what lawyers did, for whom, and why, yet they often sit underused in billing systems. Narrative improves and structures that data, then uses it to highlight scope, track what remains in or out of scope, and surface early warnings when matters drift away from the original plan. John talks through the life cycle, from selecting comparable matters, through modeling AFAs and scenarios, to monitoring work in progress and feeding lessons back into future pricing efforts. Along the way, better transparency supports stronger trust between partners and clients.We close by asking John to look ahead. He shares his view on how firms will move toward more sophisticated pricing models and better measurement, while the billable hour continues to evolve rather than vanish overnight. Stronger baselines, cleaner matter histories, and better tracking create room for fee caps, success components, and other structures that clients want to sell internally. John also shares how he stays informed through alerts, networks, and a new chief of staff who helps turn those insights into resources for pricing and finance professionals. For listeners who want to learn more or follow Narrative's work, John points them to narrativehq.com and invites outreach from anyone wrestling with data, pricing, or margin questions inside their own firm.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Jon Herold and Chris Paul tear into the chaotic rollout of the alleged January 6 pipe-bomber arrest, dissecting the affidavit, the timeline, the surveillance gaps, and the suspiciously coordinated media narratives surrounding the case. They highlight inconsistencies between the government's claims and the evidence shown, question why key footage and details surfaced only after years of silence, and explore how the story is being shaped to protect institutional credibility rather than reveal truth. From there, Jon and Chris examine the broader information-war landscape, including the media's panicked response to Trump's rising momentum, the collapse of trusted narratives, and a public that increasingly refuses to buy what legacy institutions are selling. With sharp analysis, sarcasm, and a few well-placed rants, the hosts map out how propaganda, selective transparency, and political desperation are converging as the system loses control of the story.

As the UK grapples with cost of living pressures, geopolitical shocks and a shifting political landscape, the case for net zero remains strong - but the story around it seems to have stalled.How can policymakers, businesses and campaigners reconnect climate action with public priorities such as jobs, growth, energy security and household bills?In this episode host Jon Bernstein is joined by Benj Sykes, UK Country Manager at Ørsted, Polly Billington, Labour MP and founder of Climate 100, and Daisy Powell-Chandler, Head of Energy and Environment at Public First, to examine the state of the UK's net zero consensus and what's really driving public attitudes.Their discussion looks at why Westminster debate has become more polarised even as public concern about climate change remains high; whether the language of “net zero” helps or hinders; and how to tell a more compelling, place-based story about the energy transition - from local jobs and warmer homes to cleaner transport and revitalised town centres.The panel also explores how to balance upfront investment with cost of living pressures, the case for an energy social tariff, and why decarbonisation should be framed as a national security priority that reduces exposure to volatile fossil fuel markets and future energy price shocks.This New Statesman podcast episode is sponsored by Ørsted.SAVE £££ THIS CHRISTMAS:⭐️ Gift big ideas, bold politics, and proper journalism from just £2LISTEN AD-FREE:

Rehabilitating Ivan the Terrible: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts reports that Stalin favored the narrative history of Robert Vipper, who rehabilitated Ivan the Terrible as a state-builder rather than a cruel tyrant; Stalin criticized Eisenstein's film sequel for portraying Ivan as weak, insisting Ivan's terror was a necessary defense of the state, a view justifying Stalin's own purges. 1945

Paul shares his journey from Dogecoin to Bitcoin, recognizing Bitcoin's privacy issues early on, which led to his support for Monero. He discusses the rise of "privacy season," attributing increased interest in privacy coins to dissatisfaction with Bitcoin's lack of privacy. Paul also explains Edge Wallet's integration of Monero in 2018 and contrasts Monero's mandatory privacy with Zcash's optional model. The conversation covers usability challenges with Monero, such as transaction finality, and touches on the need for better point-of-sale solutions to drive crypto adoption. Paul also highlights Edge Wallet's new integration of XANO for private Bitcoin transactions and discusses the potential impact of macroeconomic trends on the crypto market, especially privacy coins.

War Room The Curious Case Of DNC/RNC Pipe-Bomb Suspect, CDC Ends Hepatitis B Shot Recommendation for Babies & Dems Cling to Hegseth Boat Strike Narrative

We've all heard the Democrat talking points ad nauseam—from the Epstein files to Obamacare, from Trump's health and MRI to inflation, affordability, and Biden-era policies.  But what's the strategy behind focusing so heavily on their GOP opponents instead of the bigger picture? Victor Davis Hanson says it's “just an excuse for the lack of a serious agenda”—and Democrat voters don't seem to mind. Hanson breaks down these Democrat narratives and what it means for 2026 and beyond on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “Do they say, ‘Here's my alternate plan for immigration. I want one million, two million, three million illegal. I want to go back to the Biden [administration] , two million illegal aliens a year'? No, nothing. ‘Obamacare: Here's how we're going to solve it so we don't need subsidies. A, B, C.' Nothing.” (0:00) Introduction (0:24) The Epstein Files Controversy (0:07) Obamacare and Government Shutdowns (3:03) Trump's Health and Media Narratives (3:52) Affordability and Economic Policies (5:00) Lack of Democratic Initiatives (6:55) Conclusion

Are you really in control of your life, or are you being unconsciously driven by old stories, buried trauma, and misleading intuition? In this powerful episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Sue Morter—renowned international speaker, Bio-Energetic Medicine pioneer, and author of The Anatomy of Awakening—reveals how to finally break free from the narrative running your life and step into the highest version of yourself. Dr. Sue explains why anchoring into your present body is the key to escaping fear loops, anxiety, paranoia, nervousness, and survival-mode thinking...and how to transform that stuck energy into creativity, passion, movement, purpose, and unstoppable tenacity. She shares practical, real-world tools to shift your internal state, elevate your frequency, and choose a worldview where the universe is actually working for you, not against you. You'll learn how to tell when your intuition is misleading you—triggering false “unsafe” signals that hold you back from the next stage of life—and how to distinguish true guidance from subconscious fear. Dr. Sue breaks down the hidden implications of being driven by the trauma stored in your subconscious, and how to rewrite these old memories to unlock your next chapter. She reveals why “safety” shouldn't be your primary goal, and how energy vibration changes the moment your mind, body, and breath unite into wholeness. You'll also discover how meditation reconnects you to the soul, plus an accessible breakdown of chakras, levels of consciousness, and the vibrational frequency of love—along with the specific energy centers that determine your life path and soul purpose. Dr. Sue even opens up about her own radical spiritual awakening - triggered by transcendental meditations she began to heal her chronic migraines. (Her experiences lifted her into a realm above the earth, where she realized we are all made of pure light!) We dive deep into the physical manifestations of buried trauma, the truth about your multidimensional nature, and how anyone can use remote healing to send and receive transformative energy across space and time. At the heart of it all? Love—the ultimate vibrational mechanism that gives you access to higher consciousness! If you're ready to shift your entire energy system, expand your awareness, and rewrite the story of your life, this is the episode of MBB you don't want to miss.
