This episode is a direct continuation of “50 Doesn't Want to Rap About It”, but the conversation goes way beyond rap beef.Ern & Iso bounce across 50+ real-life topics — from why money outweighs bars in today's culture, to why followers don't equal real support, to uncomfortable but honest conversations about sex, relationships, boundaries, politics, and social media addiction.The fellas break down:• Why people fake-care about rap until money enters the conversation• How social media followers don't translate to album sales or real influence• Why entertainers are wrongly treated like political leaders• Sex, honesty, boundaries, and why people struggle to communicate desires• TikTok scams, fake discounts, and why trust is gone online• The mental health cost of constant visibility and content creation• Why podcasts aren't dying — but unserious creators areThis episode feels like a raw barbershop conversation — unfiltered, uncomfortable at times, but honest. Agree or disagree, it's the type of dialogue most platforms won't touch.

Torie and special guests Chelsey Morin and Thien-Y Hoang return to the 50 Shades of Grey garbage dump for the second installment in this stinking landfill of a film franchise, 50 SHADES DARKER. Don't bother to bring a shovel. After being broken up for 2.5 seconds, newly deflowered Anastasia Steele and hunky millionaire Dom Christian Grey rekindle their love and get into a full-on relationship. As their "intimacy" grows, Anastasia learns more about Christian's dark past and meets some of the (many) skeletons in his closet. What ensues is two hours of even more sociopathic behavior, somewhat less sexy "S&M" sex scenes, a dash of gun violence, a lavish masked ball fundraiser, a pair of Ben Wa balls, even more Hollister men's jeans, poor restaurant etiquette, workplace sexual harassment, and more. We also meet a less-than-colorful cast of new characters, including Christian's former Mommy Dom "Mrs. Robinson," played by Kim Basinger, Anna's misogynistic new boss, Jack Hyde, and one of Christian's former pets/hostages, Leila.  

Mark Eads returns as we discuss land use. While its easy to see black and white when it comes to the best and most prudent use of prime farm land, there is plenty of gray area and questions that surround present and future development as well when it comes down to it. There are some winners and plenty of losers in this high stakes game.

Episode #1063 In this episode, we revisit a raw and honest conversation about what happens when masculine and feminine energies get out of sync in a relationship. This isn't about old-school gender roles. It's about energy, leadership, trust, and polarity — and what happens when those things go missing. Doug and Coach Chris unpack why so many men are stuck trying to be the "nice guy" and how that often leaves their partner feeling more like a caretaker than a lover. They dive into what women actually want: leadership, decisiveness, and safety. Most men have stepped back from this role without realizing it. They talk through what it looks like to lead from the heart, how to rebuild polarity, and small moves that shift the energy fast. If your relationship feels flat or disconnected, this conversation will hit home. Want to learn how to lead without trying to fix everything?

Welcome back, cinephiles and perverts, and welcome to Season Two of Sex in the Cinema!!! To kick off Season Two, Torie is joined by Angelenos and expert hate-watchers Chelsey Morin and Thien-Y Hoang to demolish the cultural phenomenon that was the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy. From its humble beginnings in a Twilight fanfiction forum, to the published printed page, all the way to the silver screen, this gross disservice to the kink community turned on the world. For SITC's Season Two Premiere, we're tackling the first installment of the trilogy, 50 SHADES OF GREY. Released in 2015 and directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson (wife of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, mind you), this film launched the careers of usually good actors Dakota Johnson and Jaimie Dornan.   Mousy brunette super-virgin Anastasia Steele's simple life turns upside down when she meets sexy billionaire (and apparent Never Nude), Christian Grey. Anastasia soon finds out Christian doesn't do relationships, but he does enjoy “various physical pursuits.” Namely, kidnapping women and coercing them into dom/sub relationships of very questionable ethics.   What ensues is two hours of sociopathic behavior, painful lack of chemistry, horrifically awful dialogue, NDAs and contracts, too many needle drops, countless glasses of unconsumed white wine, mostly vanilla sex, an apparent proclivity for Hollister men's jeans, a dusting of taboo slap & tickle, one impressive den of iniquity set, and wayyyyyy too many red flags.    So bust out those handcuffs and settle in for the long haul because, in the words of Christian Grey, there's “no escaping now…”

We talk to Republican State Sen. Tony Strickland of District 36, which has completely blown up by the redistricting brough about by Prop 50.

My guest today is Jamie Friedland, a former U.S. Treasury trader turned sustainability analyst at AXA Investment Managers – one of the world's largest and most active players in sustainable investing.He joined AXA Investment Managers – now part of BNP Paribas Group – in March 2022. Within the group, BNP Paribas Asset Management oversees over €716 billion in assets, while the broader platform manages around €1.5 trillion globally.Approximately 90% of listed assets are classified under Article 8 or 9 of the EU's Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, meaning they integrate sustainability or have a dedicated sustainable objective (Source: BNP Paribas/ AXA Investment Managers (Core) as of end of 2024).At AXA, Jamie works in a central ESG role, focused on public investments and helping integrate sustainability across equities, fixed income, infrastructure, and alternatives.The results are detailed – and sometimes strict. AXA applies hard exclusions in its green bond strategies. Nuclear energy, for example, is allowed in conventional mandates and in unlabeled strategies that hold green bonds. But it's left out of AXA's official green bond funds – because some clients have made it clear they don't want it included in the list of eligible projects.This is the real balancing act – between client preferences, shifting regulation, and ESG data that's still catching up. Jamie likens it to steering a tanker: slow to move, but once it shifts, the weight behind it is massive.Still, ESG doesn't operate in a vacuum. The backlash – especially in the U.S. – has been loud, often political, and sometimes confusing. Jamie's answer is disarmingly simple: ESG is just data. And more information is always better than less.Today, he's here to walk us through how one of the world's largest asset managers turns ESG from principle into portfolio decisions.

Ich habe viel umgestellt bei mir (Technik) und musste umbedingt das Setup testen. Statt einfach vor mich hin zu reden hat sich Linda bereit erklärt mir über den Film 50 Shades of Grey zu berichten, den sie kürzlich gesehen hat. Da sie auch die Bücher gelesen hat, ist sie sogar qualifiziert den Vergleich von Buch zu Film zu ziehen. Wir wünschen viel Spaß beim Reinhören und freuen uns auf Kommentare und eure Meinung zu Buch und Film.

Ana's life takes a wild turn when she's roped into interviewing Christian Grey — the richest creep in Seattle and the king of monotone trauma dumps. What follows? An ox-blood “playroom” of BDSM pain, a family way too supportive of questionable romance choices, and exes old enough to be everyone's mum. Classic Wattpad-level chaos!In this episode of Lose the Plot with Carla and Emily, we dive into Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James — the OG spicy book that launched a thousand smuts. Expect trope talk, unfiltered judgements, and way too many giggles about broody billionaires.

Look, I love a good policy binder as much as the next HR nerd (okay, maybe sometimes even more).  But here's the thing no one wants to say out loud:  Sometimes the “right” answer on paper is actually the wrong move in real life.

Send us a textIn this colorful episode, we kick things off with Noras play-by-play of an unforgettable night at Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour. The Queen Bey delivered a masterclass in performance art despite Mother Nature's obstacles. The concert stories lead us into an unexpected treasure hunt when we discuss Czech hikers who stumbled upon $360,000 worth of buried gold artifacts from the early 1900s—talk about being in the right place at the right time!The conversation shifts to the curious world of color psychology as we explore what different colored heart emojis actually mean (careful with that red heart in professional settings!), what colors you should wear on first dates (green for women, lavender for men), and how color coding can revolutionize family organization. When Nora reveals her intricate color-coded calendar system where each family member has their dedicated color, it becomes clear how deeply colors influence our daily lives and relationships.We couldn't talk about color without taste-testing some vibrant new treats, including Chocolate Covered Pretzel Oreos and Trader Joe's Root Beer Float pieces with popping candy. The episode takes a nostalgic turn when we discover Nora's preserved childhood collection of 72 Crayola crayons—still intact after all these years, saved lovingly by her grandmother who wouldn't let anyone else touch them.From discovering that blue is the world's most popular color across ten different countries to debating whether "underwear as outerwear" should be a fashion trend, this episode celebrates how color shapes our world, our choices, and our memories. Join us for this spectrum-spanning conversation that might just change how you see the colors around you.What colored heart emoji do you use most often, and did you know what it actually means?

Episode 2284 - In this birthday bash prelude, host Kid A.G. and the Legendary Hat Trick plunge headfirst into the abyss of vintage porn horrors—think John Holmes humping a mall penny horse like it's closing time, and a '70s skin flick where bikini babes plaster-cast a pool boy's schlong while tag-teaming his toes for a "keep it rigid" ritual that screams "kinkier than a pretzel orgy."  They unpack go-to spank-bank scenarios, debate aging woes, and swoon over dark romance tomes where serial killers crochet sex swings with granny wisdom. Hat Trick's Hinge horror stories collide with Kid's Bull Durham interview prep, all capped by anthemic absurdity: a Trump banger belting "I'm gonna put some dick in" as the ultimate earworm of earworms. Zero regrets, infinite boners—because nothing says "turning 50" like foot-fucking for science. Quick Notes: Porn Oddities: Penny-horse quickies, toe-banging plaster disasters, Bonnie Blue's Tesla temptress vibes, and a Jenna Jameson double-suck graph-fest. Kink Confessions: Getting-caught thrills, breeding unlocks, "daddy" drops, and the eternal quest for sober cunnilingus critiques (handicap for drunk ratings TBA). Life Larks: Gray-stripe beards from beaver buffets, undercut head-holds mid-BJ, Hinge cougar chaos, and sex-swing salvation for creaky knees. Pop Picks: Benson Boone's goat-bleat remix hate, Bull Durham trope mastery, and a plea for Ariana Kettle-corn nudes (send help, Freddy).

On this week's episode of Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, host & producer George Sirois sits down with Douglas Fifer, a decades-long member of the Alaskan Police Department who oversaw the development of so many depraved and explicit crimes that he knew would have an audience of true crime fans. So he took a collection of his experiences and turned them into an anthology called 50 Shades of True Crime, some of the most sexually deviant crimes he ever experienced. While he has naturally found a fanbase of true crime lovers, Doug has also gained attention from aspiring authors who look at creating their own anthology as a great way to introduce yourself to readers everywhere. Get your copy of Doug's book by clicking HERE.And check out Doug's website as well by clicking HERE.Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success. It is very important to celebrate those voices as much as possible to not only provide encouragement to up-and-coming talent, but to say thank you to the established men & women for inspiring the current generation of artists.If you agree that the Excelsior Journeys podcast serves a positive purpose and would like to show your appreciation, you can give back to the show by clicking HERE.

Send us a textIn this third episode of the Besties in the Books mini-series Fifty Shades of May, hosts Ashley and Liz dive deep into Fifty Shades Freed by E.L. James, the final installment of the original Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. They explore how the controversial dark romance series influenced pop culture, the rise of dark romance in mainstream fiction, and why Freedmight not mean what you think it does. The episode teases what's next in the series, including a parody read of Fifty Shades of Earl Grey by Andrew Shaffer and a full wrap-up comparing the books to the films. Join the Besties for unfiltered reactions, spicy cover art commentary, and plenty of laughs—plus behind-the-scenes chaos from their Fable book club chats. Perfect for fans of romance, satire, and pop culture deep-dives.It's Fifty shades of May over here on the Besties and the Books podcast. Welcome back to our spring mini episode series all about the extremely popular yet widely discredited book series: Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James. We're officially concluding the original trilogy with book three, Fifty Shades Freed. Freed from what exactly, you might ask?

The fact that these books have been stigmatized, criticized, and repeatedly knocked down is indicative (we think) of a larger societal problem: misogyny. Because as a society, it seems we just can't stand it when women are successful… or when they enjoy something. Whether it's objectively “good” or “profitable” or not.

Send us a textToday Ashley and Liz are setting the stage for our mini episode series about the infamous 50 Shades of Grey trilogy which starts this Friday and continues on for five episodes, including the original three books, a surprise bonus book, and a wrap up episode covering the movies and all of our final thoughts! But today, buckle up for a spoiler free episode all about… ROMANCE NOVELS! The genre that changed the game for publishers… for readers… for writers… and for women. We've never read this series and want to examine it through a certain lens - what exactly did this series do for the genre as a whole? And who paved the way to make Fifty Shades of Grey a mainstream romance sensation? We take you wayyyyy back to the “first” romance novel, explore the OG pioneers of the genre, explain what defines a book as “romance” in the first place, and delve into how the content and themes have changed over time, influencing literature of ALL genres. We discuss the different evolutions and iterations of these books primarily written by women, for women, and how despite the success, popularity, and numbers to back it up… the romance genre is repeatedly labeled as “less than literature” or reduced to “chick lit.” We want to (NEED TO) talk about why.And don't worry, even though it's a little heavy, we still have a faves and fails and smash or pass, romance edition! Check out this author interview! | Callie Hart NYT Bestseller Author of Quicksilver! | https://youtu.be/CED5s7qDBdQ?si=8xtIRO1IzX6Rsld4Shop bookish apparel worn in this episode!Ashley is Wearing: ACOTAR Valkyrie Tee from @thebeanworkshop | Use code: BOOKBESTIES10 to save!  | * https://thebeanworkshop.store/products/to-the-stars-who-listen-and-the-dreams-are-answered-tee-shirt?_pos=9&_sid=823f6afe6&_ss=rLiz is wearing: “If You Want to Save Animals, Stop Eating Them” Baby Tee from @dont.eat.the.homies | https://donteatthehomies.com/products/save-animals-teeAny link with an * is an affiliate link through the service Magic Links and is eligible for a commission to us with no extra cost to you.

In this eye-opening episode of Narcissists, Gaslighters and Cheaters, Oh My!, hosts Behk and LAH sit down with Charlotte Rivers, a brave woman who shares her unsettling experience within the gaming community, which was marred by toxic masculinity. Charlotte takes us through her journey of finding a supportive, inclusive gaming community—only for it to be shattered by rampant sexism and harassment.Charlotte opens up about her experience with a local gaming store owner who crossed boundaries with inappropriate comments and even coerced her into an uncomfortable back rub. When Charlotte stood up for herself, she was banned from both the store and the wider gaming community. Even worse, no one came to her defense, and she was left to face the fallout alone.The conversation takes a darker turn when Charlotte explains how, after leaving a truthful review of the store, the owner and his wife launched an online smear campaign against her. They accused her of cheating on her deployed husband and even threatened her.This episode is a sobering reminder of the importance of calling out toxic behavior, especially when it comes from men who have the power to protect or harm women in these spaces. We discuss how the gaming world—and society at large—needs men to step up and challenge harmful behavior when they see it, rather than stay silent.Charlotte's strength and resilience in the face of this injustice are truly inspiring. Listen in to hear how she fought back and how we can all work together to create safer, more respectful environments for everyone.Join us for this raw conversation, and don't forget to subscribe for more episodes of real talk on toxic behavior, safety, and standing up for yourself.Content Warning: This episode discusses various forms of toxic behavior, narcissistic abuse, and any topics that may disturb some listeners.

This is an episode we've been wanting to cover for a long time now! In it we explore the challenges in entering and developing in prehospital critical care, which translate into pretty much developing in any new role both in and out of health care. We cover some pretty personally challenging experiences and the strategies that both clinicians new to prehospital critical care may find useful to employ. We also discuss how supervisors can use these techniques to both guide and support new clinicians.  The four main areas discussed are; Decision making Prioritisation of tasks Leadership Incorporating evidence based medicine into practice We wrap up exploring how reflection can be used to accelerate growth as a clinician but also the risks of over-reflection! We really hope you enjoy the episode and would love to hear any thoughts or feedback on the episode both on the website and via social media. Simon & James
