You've heard the myths - swinging watches, losing control, clucking like a chicken on stage. In this episode, I talk about the real story of how a session I booked purely to lose weight accidentally became the start of my entire career.

The time the Dalai Lama went bowling in their basement, the time a stranger showed up with exactly the $15,000 they were missing — and more behind-the-scenes stories from 50 years of IMS. In 1975, a handful of young Americans fresh back from years of intensive practice in India and Burma pooled together $150,000 they didn't have and bought a former Catholic novitiate in rural Massachusetts. Fifty years later, the Insight Meditation Society has become one of the most consequential institutions in the history of Buddhism in the West — the place where Jon Kabat-Zinn had the idea that became Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and where, as one longtime yogi put it, the whole thing has run for half a century "without any adult supervision whatsoever." For IMS's 50th anniversary, Dan sits down with four of its founding teachers — Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, and Jacqueline Mandell — along with Steven Schwartz, who helped get the organization built in the first place. Together they trace the founding story, the early years of $25-a-month stipends and "window wars," the accidental birth of the mindfulness movement, and what they hope IMS looks like 1,000 years from now.

In this video, Brandy shares powerful insights to help you heal from chronic pain and illness. Also, if you'd like to go deeper, there is a free Free Mind-body Healing training deep dive training you can access here. https://brandygillmore.com/mind-body-training Healing often involves much more than positive thinking alone. In this powerful episode, Brandy shares a real session with Toni, who came to her after being diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time, with the cancer having spread to her bones and liver. Although this session was recorded over a year before its release, Brandy intentionally waited to share it. Recently, Toni's doctors reported that her latest scans showed no visible sign of cancer. As you listen to the session, you'll discover several subconscious patterns that were quietly influencing Toni's healing journey—including one that surprises almost everyone. Brandy explains why simply trying to "think positive" is often not enough to create lasting transformation and reveals one of the most overlooked subconscious blocks that can impact both emotional and physical healing. Throughout her journey, Toni continued working closely with her doctors, remained on her prescribed medication, and continued receiving regular medical scans. This episode highlights the importance of addressing subconscious patterns while also being responsible with your health and following appropriate medical care. As you listen, notice which subconscious patterns may also be operating in your own life and discover insights that can help you create deeper healing, awareness, and personal empowerment.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein — through their lawyers — have strongly condemned the recent release of documents by U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that left dozens of their names unredacted. Their attorneys argue that this is not just negligence, but a gross violation of their dignity and privacy: “These women are not political pawns,” the filing reads, emphasizing that many of the victims are “mothers, wives, and daughters,” and that exposing their identities without consent — especially when some were minors at the time of abuse — re-victimizes them and undermines any promise of protection.Moreover, the lawyers warn that the scope of the oversight failure suggests the DOJ “either does not know the identities of all the victims … and thus cannot apply proper redactions,” or is “intentionally failing to protect victims from public exposure.” They're pressing a federal judge to demand a more robust redaction process — including asking the DOJ for a full list of known victims so they can ensure no one else is inadvertently exposed.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Law firm representing alleged Epstein victims sends scathing letter over DOJ document release - ABC News

Angus and Julia Stone come in to perform their brand new song live, making them the very first guests on Karaoke Bar Fridays, a segment that didn't have a name until they walked in and accidentally suggested it. The song was written in a stunning Paris studio about a year and a half ago and they hadn't actually rehearsed it together before coming in because Angus had been in Japan. We also find out Julia does Jagged Little Pill at karaoke for the catharsis, Angus does Wicked Games because of course he does, and an Australian tour is being planned for 2027. We are not angry about it. Okay we are a little.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 106 Show NotesThis week starts with one of those stories that makes everyone stop and go, "Wait... what?"A listener shares a hookup that took a turn he never saw coming, leaving Richard with about a hundred questions, Lauren with a few clinical observations, and all of us wondering how we'd react if we found ourselves in the exact same situation.From there, things somehow get even more interesting.Haley joins us because she's trying to do something that terrifies most people in the lifestyle—pick up a complete stranger who isn't in it. Is there a right way to tell someone you're happily married but your husband already knows you're interested? Richard coaches her through his favorite pickup strategy, Lauren weighs in, and everyone agrees there's a very real chance this could either end in fireworks or become the most awkward gym experience of all time.Along the way we dive into attraction, labels, bisexuality, the overlap between the lifestyle and the LGBTQ+ community, why these conversations aren't always as simple as they seem, and why Richard somehow manages to turn every serious discussion into an argument about penis depth.Oh... and Lauren has new boobs.Can you tell if someone is flirting with you?Would you ever hook up with someone outside the lifestyle?The biggest mistakes people make approaching "vanilla" couples.EVENTS- SIN OCTOBER 2026FLIRT FEBRUARY 2027Also in this episode: Meta deleted their Facebook account (again), Lauren's rebuilding from scratch and could use the follow, help me rebuild by clicking this link.This Episode Was Brought To You By:Bikini Addiction — bikiniaddiction.com, code ROOM77 for 10% off.

This week front-of-house engineer Ryan Goldbacher calls in from the road with Tom Keifer, and you’ll quickly learn that landing the next gig comes down to two things: competence, and not being miserable to be around. Word of mouth is the real currency of touring life, so Always Be Performing applies long after you step off stage: when the tour bus is smaller than your bedroom and there are twelve people on it, how you treat the room matters. You’ll pick up honest strategies for protecting your sanity on the road, from taking a walk to renting a car and disappearing into the mountains, plus why testing your limits only works if you actually know where they are. Then you and Ryan get deep into the craft. You’ll hear why the way FOH mixes your band one night can shape how it sounds for gigs to come, why you’ve got about thirty seconds to describe your band to a house engineer at load-in, and the EQ lessons Ryan learned the hard way dialing in loud rock guitars and high-passing the bass. Stop calling a kick a bass drum, leave some air in it, and don’t be afraid to turn the knobs until it sounds good. From the pressure-cooker of mixing monitors on Mr. Big’s final US tour to a frank take on AI mixing and building the next generation of engineers, this one’s loaded for anyone serious about live sound. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 541 – Monday, July 6th, 2026 July 6th: National Fried Chicken Day Guest co-hosts: Ryan Goldbacher 00:01:17 Ryan on tour with Tom Keifer 00:02:29 Word of mouth is the key Competence is key…that's number one.

Leo Rossi spent decades behind the scenes with legendary artists including Fleetwood Mac, The Who, Brian Wilson, Prince, Chaka Khan, and many of the musicians who shaped modern music. But this conversation isn't really about rock and roll. It's about purpose.

What drives a man to turn down half a million pounds at 18, test Mark Zuckerberg's sincerity over dinner, and wonder aloud if he can win a second Nobel Prize? For Demis Hassabis, co-founder and CEO of Google DeepMind, the answer is a lifelong pursuit of artificial general intelligence — and an unshakeable belief that the technology he's creating will change everything about what it means to be human. Oz speaks with journalist and author Sebastian Mallaby about his new book, The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind, and the Quest for Superintelligence, tracing Demis's extraordinary journey from chess prodigy to the man at the center of the most consequential technological race of our time.

The Culture of Death is not random. Today we discuss the intelligence behind it and how your home is the first target. We dive deep into why you are so busy it hurts, and why you try so hard to “keep work at work” without realizing this is hurting your family. Feeling as if you are being pulled in a hundred different directions and looking for one simple solution is not the answer. The devil slowly seeps into the ordinary life of a family's home, and we want to show how to prevent it.  We are joined by Dr. John Cuddeback, a professor of philosophy at Christendom College and the author of The Intentional Household: Living as If People Matter.

For the last five to seven years we've been swimming in self-love and self-help culture — and I think it accidentally made us weaker. In this episode I break down how a correction we genuinely needed overcorrected into something that keeps us stuck, why protection and care are not the same thing, and how the most loving-sounding ideas of the last few years have a shadow side nobody wants to talk about.

The Discovery of Hawaii. Guest Author: Hampton Sides. In late 1777, Cook accidentally discovered the Hawaiian Islands, starting with Kauai. The Hawaiians, who had never seen smoking or pockets, dubbed the sailors "volcano people." Cook realized these were Polynesians, leading him to marvel at the Polynesian diaspora and their incredible voyaging skills. Although he was in a hurry to reach Alaska, he went ashore unarmed to observe their sophisticated civilization, noting advanced aqueducts and agriculture. This find was historically significant, providing the first written description of Hawaiian culture, yet Cook refused to linger or explore the rest of the chain, driven by a frantic timeline to find the Northwest Passage. 61785 DEATH OF COOK

Most of us were never handed a verdict on purpose. Someone just made a choice, and we made it mean something. This episode starts with a brown gingham dress and a six-year-old who drew the wrong conclusion. It ends with a journaling prompt that may be the beginning of a thread worth pulling. Recovering your own eye is the most effective way to finally embody your unique style. We cover three ideas: how childhood style experiences form us, what goes wrong when outside systems arrive before self-knowledge is solid, and what it actually looks like to do the repair work as an adult. There is also a practical note for parents on which style frameworks are appropriate at which ages, and when to wait. Let's connect!

Interview Summary Show: Money Making Conversations MasterclassHost: Rushion McDonaldGuest: Jennifer Gaddis – Senior Quality Assurance Engineer, Educator, Founder of Road to QA 1. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview is to inspire and educate everyday people—especially those without college degrees or traditional tech backgrounds—on how to pivot into technology careers, specifically Quality Assurance (QA), and to reframe fear around AI, layoffs, and automation into opportunity. Jennifer’s story is used as proof of concept that: You do not need a college degree to succeed in tech Transferable skills already qualify many people for QA roles AI does not eliminate jobs—it creates new opportunities Strategic career pivots can result in life-changing income and freedom Rushion positions Jennifer not only as a success story, but as a new blueprint for wealth-building through skills, not credentials.

Consent education in school is mostly insufficient or non-existent — even when it's required by state law. An organization called SafeBAE is trying to change that by training teens to teach each other about consent. SafeBAE's executive director Shael Norris talks about what works and what doesn't when discussing this topic with young people. We'll also hear a cautionary tale about a time when Shael's own daughter attempted to get justice for sexual assault survivors back when she was in high school. ⭐️ This episode originally ran on February 5, 2025 and is a favorite from the archives. We hope you enjoy, and we'll be back next week with an exciting update on what SafeBAE is up to now… stay tuned! … Episode resources • Check out SafeBAE.org for info on consent ed for teens … • Join LST+ for community and access to You Know What, another show in the Longest Shortest universe! • Follow us on Instagram • Sign up for our newsletter, where we recommend other parenting + reproductive health media • Buy books by LST guests (your purchase supports the show!) • Website: longestshortesttime.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Now that Donald Trump has reached a ceasefire with Iran, the scrutiny of it has been brutal, making it obvious that he got nothing of significance. In a rambling monologue to reporters, Trump excoriated Barack Obama's Iran deal for making billions in funding available to the Iranians. But this is actually a self-own: Trump's own arrangement uses a very similar mechanism, opening up funds as an incentive to get Iran to agree to constraints on its nuclear program later. As Tom Nichols, a staff writer at The Atlantic, says on today's episode, Trump is “doing it exactly the way Obama did it.” And that's after Trump also waged a needless war that cost us tens of billions of dollars, depleted our stockpiles, killed some Americans and many Iranians, strained our alliances, and wrecked the global economy. Nichols discusses his new piece arguing that the U.S. capitulated to Iran, explains how Trump left us worse off than before, and walks us through what will happen next, with Trump in a weakened state.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Donald Trump erupted in fury at Representative Jamie Raskin in a long, rambling Truth Social post. Trump called him a “loser” who suffers from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” But the tirade was unintentionally revealing. Trump raged that if Raskin and Democrats win the House, they will “impeach me” and called on Congress to “EXPEL THE BUM” before it's too late. In so doing, Trump revealed that he absolutely does fear impeachment. This gives Democrats a good argument: The last thing Trump wants is a Democratic Congress precisely because it will hold him accountable and put a check on his lawlessness. So what would this actually look like? We talked to Andy Craig, senior editor at The Unpopulist, who thinks creatively on this topic. We discuss the deeper reasons Trump fears another impeachment, all the hidden tools that the next Congress could use to constrain him, and why aggressive congressional action against Trump would rebalance our dangerously out-of-whack system.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?
