Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Lion's Gate, Violet Fire, and the Shift of the Ages Rainbird, Tara, Rama, Caroline, Mother, and a Kryon recording explore Mayan calendar energies, Lammas harvest themes, solar and Schumann resonance shifts, political and galactic disclosure claims, channeled guidance, soul purpose, and the call to move through fear by remembering inner support and love. Opening the Council Fire and Reading the Mayan Energies This episode of Hard News on Friday opens with Rainbird welcoming listeners to Tara and Rama's Friday night program on BBS Radio Station One, then guiding the audience into breath, heart space, ancestors, guides, guardians, and a ceremonial council-fire setting. Rainbird calls in the seven galactic directions in the Mayan tradition, reads the Mayan calendar energies for the day and week ahead, and frames the transition from White Cosmic Wizard into the Blue Magnetic Eagle wave as a movement toward receptivity, timelessness, vision, service, and trust. The corrected transcript notes that spiritual, political, metaphysical, medical, astrological, and channeled claims are preserved as speaker statements and were not independently verified. Lammas, Harvest, Donations, and the Talking Stick Rainbird also connects the week's energies to Lughnasadh, or Lammas, describing it as the first of three harvest festivals and a seasonal turning point associated with bread, grain, corn, and gratitude. The opening segment includes listener-supported housekeeping, including BBS Radio expenses, Tara and Rama's living expenses, utility needs, PayPal information, mailing details, Rainbow Roundtable resources, and a GoFundMe reference. Rainbird then passes the talking stick, imagining it filled with fairies, feathers, rays, elementals, baked goods, harvest energy, and supportive frequencies before handing the program to Tara and Rama. Tara and Rama on Solar Energies, Disclosure, and Global Upheaval Tara and Rama describe the incoming energies as powerful, transformative, and connected to Lammas, the Schumann resonance, solar flares, and what they frame as planetary transfiguration. Rama reports conversations with Natasha and other figures, tying the week's energies to political allegations, the Zorro Ranch, Epstein-related stories, the White House, Israel, Hamas, Iran, the United States, and what he calls the collapse of old systems. He also presents metaphysical claims about the Anunnaki, Nephilim, the “13 families,” the matrix or holodeck program, the galactic federation, ascension, the Age of Aquarius, and the need to respond with love and Violet Fire. Rama's Weekly Update and Messages From the “Crew” Rama reads a weeklong update describing visits to Moon Mountain, Chama, St. John's College, Stonehenge-related energetic work, Aspen Meadows, and other locations, often accompanied by deer, crows, owls, bobcats, ravens, and cats. In these updates, he recounts text messages from Mr. X, Natasha, “the crew,” Professor Nicodemus, Dr. Steve, Darby Odell, Mr. Apps, and Lady Nada. The messages emphasize the “shift of the ages,” ancient extraterrestrial beings, Antarctica, the shutdown of the holodeck program, magnetic fields, portal technology, Stonehenge sound and light, disclosure, full moon energies, solar flares, peace, and the coming Lion's Gate. Caroline's Questions on Ancient Beings, Stargates, and NESARA Caroline then asks Rama to clarify who Mr. X means when referring to ancient extraterrestrials who are still present and immortal. Rama answers within the show's metaphysical framework, saying the reference is to the 13 families answering to the Anunnaki-Nephilim and to locations near vortexes, stargates, or portals. The conversation moves into claims about Tehran and Baghdad stargates, the military, Iran, Pentagon generals, Mother Sekhmet, galactic disclosure, and NESARA. Rama says NESARA is unfolding “big time,” but that peace must come first before the next stage can unfold. Mother's Channeled Message on Ascension, Healing, Climate, and Staying in the Body The program then shifts into a channeled Mother segment invoked through the Office of the Christ, Saint Germain, and the Violet Flame. Mother speaks about Lion's Gate, Sirius, the Council of Nine, star nations, ascension in the body, the idea that there is no death, cellular wisdom, solar plasma, Schumann resonance, magnetic waves, climate disruption, elementals, quantum particles, Stonehenge, ley lines, vortexes, planetary sound, astrology, and the restoration of memory. The segment also places Cheryl in a circle of support for surgery and speaks directly to trauma, suicide, water as a clearing force, the importance of remaining in the body, and the need to work with Mother Gaia through love, gratitude, and inner healing. Kryon on the Wind of Birth, Soul Support, and Choosing Courage The final major segment is a Kryon recording that reflects on the “Wind of Birth,” soul choice, God consciousness before incarnation, and the idea that each person came to Earth intentionally during a major shift. Kryon describes listeners as heroic souls who chose family, culture, gender, contracts, karma, awakening, and seed-planting for future humanity. The recording encourages listeners not to remain in suffering, fear, worry, or isolation, but to visualize comfort, move beyond their bubble, trust synchronicity, and remember that they are accompanied by a soul support group, guides, angelic presences, and their higher self. The episode closes with gratitude, Namaste, Aloha, and a reminder that listeners are “bigger” and more important than they may think.

Award-winning author Laurel Corona joins Big Blend Radio to discuss her captivating new historical novel, "Aloha Wanderwell Takes the Wheel," inspired by the extraordinary true story of pioneering adventurer Aloha Wanderwell—the first woman to drive around the world. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba—the northern gateway of the historic Jefferson Highway—Aloha Wanderwell (born Idris Hall) left boarding school in France at age 16 to join Walter Wanderwell's around-the-world automobile expedition. What followed was an astonishing life of global exploration, filmmaking, cultural discovery, and history-making road trips across six continents. In this engaging conversation, Laurel shares what inspired her to tell Aloha's story after a decade away from publishing, the historical research behind the novel, why historical fiction is vital to preserving women's history, and how travel helps us better understand the world and one another. The discussion also explores Aloha's Canadian roots, her connection to the historic Jefferson Highway, and why this remarkable woman deserves to be remembered alongside history's greatest explorers.

https://youtu.be/IQoIp4pY_bM Mailani Veney, CEO of Kana Systems, is driven by a mission to help people and organizations flourish through the aloha spirit by delivering trust and speed while transforming complex government data into actionable intelligence that empowers better decisions. By combining advanced AI-powered data solutions with a people-first culture rooted in trust, curiosity, and service, Mailani has built Kana Systems into a trusted defense technology company that helps government organizations solve mission-critical challenges faster while enabling employees, customers, and partners to thrive.  In this conversation, Mailani introduces The Aloha Way Framework—Know Who You Are & Why You Are The Prize, Aim for the Bullseye, and Co-Build with Speed. She explains why leaders must first understand their unique identity and value before attracting the right people and opportunities, how curiosity and empathy uncover customer needs while building lasting trust, and why collaborating with customers accelerates innovation and delivers measurable business outcomes. Mailani also shares how decades of service built the trusted reputation that led to government recruitment and enabled Kana Systems to transform siloed data into AI-powered solutions that strengthen long-term partnerships and dramatically improve operational efficiency. — Deliver Trust & Speed with Mailani Veney Good day. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Mailani Veney, the CEO of Kana Systems, a company changing the future of defense technology by transforming siloed, messy data into usable information to drive better insights for government customers. Mailani, welcome to the show. Aloha.  Aloha. You sent me a link this morning with the correct terms that I should be using for a Hawaiian native on the podcast, and I read the article. It was very long. But I figured that there are some terms that I may be able to use on this podcast as well. So thanks for doing that.  Yes, absolutely. So you have a very interesting background. You’re from Hawaii, but you studied in Central Europe, in Slovenia. You run a company in Nebraska, but right now you’re calling from Florida, so it’s a little bit confusing. So tell me, how did you fall into government contracting, and why not do it from Hawaii? So I actually was recruited by the largest customer in the world, our U.S. government, to help modernize technology, and it was in the area of nuclear weapons technology. So I actually didn’t choose this particular career path or this domain. I was running another technology company at the time, and our government found me and recruited me to help with this very important initiative. And this was pre-generative AI.  I had a platform that I was using in my other company to help small businesses make better decisions using data, and that was using machine learning and artificial intelligence. So I’ve since expanded the scope of what we’re doing across the department and spreading aloha spirit, which is helping others flourish. We help people be heroes at work. And when they do their work well, our country stays safe.  Wow. That is very cool. One of the terms that I noticed in your article was ʻohana.  Yes.  We’ve been staying in a beach house in Sandbridge Beach for the last few years called Ohana Bay, and we always thought it was something to do with Omaha Bay. I never thought it meant family, community, that kind of stuff. So that was super interesting. This is a super-secret project.  I don’t know if we are allowed to talk about it on the podcast. Your nuclear technology and machine learning, that’s probably highly confidential. So what I’d really like to ask you is, what is your personal ‘Why’, and how are you manifesting it in Kana Systems? Yes, and I want to relate this to the people who are watching. 348: Deliver Trust & Speed with Mailani VeneyShare on X That’s how I was raised. That’s how my ʻohana is. That’s how I run my businesses. That’s how I serve. It’s that mentality. It’s that service above self, which is the Rotary motto. I’m a fervent Rotarian. That is really the ‘Why’.  But let me dive into that a little bit more. I’ve taught fitness for 30 years. I still do. I run a defense intelligence company that the U.S. government recruited me to build. People don’t expect those two things to go together, but to me, they’re the exact same job because what I’ve done my whole life is one thing. I find people, and I help them flourish. So in a fitness class, that’s obvious. I help them feel good about themselves and their health.  In the businesses that I’ve started, when I was a professor, when I was the president of one of the largest Rotary clubs in the world, doing good across the world and in our own local communities, all of those things. And then the most important job I’ve ever had, which is raising three children, two of whom now help me run this company. I never did that to build a reputation.  Although when I was a professor at the University of Nebraska and we got to meet with Warren Buffett—he’s a pretty successful businessman—one of his famous quotes is about reputation. But what he told us in person was, “Your reputation is really the only asset you have.” People who chase building a reputation rather than authentically building it up—I think that’s the big difference.  So for me, we build reputation, and I build my personal reputation by doing good for others over and over and over for years.Share on X So when the government, I get asked this question all the time: “How did they recruit you?” They went looking for someone to trust—an entrepreneur to trust—in a very specific domain. They researched. They found me. They found 30 years of that. I didn’t chase that largest customer.  They came to me because of the service. And I build a business the same way I build a strong body—not with one big move. You can’t do it in one big move. You show up day after day, and you do good reps for a very long time. So that’s my ‘Why’. And that’s what I do for the world, for my ʻohana, and just in life in general.  I love it. Very inspiring. It’s very reassuring. So thank you for having that ‘Why’. That’s very powerful. I didn’t realize that you got recruited because of your reputation. I mean, they say they hire people for who they are and then train them for the skills. That’s basically what they did, I guess, on a big scale when they recruited you. Yeah.  And I specifically… At first, when they recruited me and I was running another company, I was getting ready to be president of Rotary 14, and I told them no because I don’t like to do a job that I can’t do well. So then, for about six months, they impressed on me the importance of bringing in small businesses with innovation, speed, and a different outlook. They’re called non-traditionals.  Originally, when they said they wanted me because I was non-traditional, I was thinking, “Well, it’s because of my gender, my ethnicity, or my age. I don’t know.” And they said, “No, no. It’s that you have not had a cost-based contract with the government.” So “non-traditional” has a very specific meaning. The government is very smart in recognizing that, “Hey, we need to bring in those waves of new ideas and entrepreneurs.” That’s what they were looking for when they found me.  And my reputation, they told me, I said, “What is the reputation you’re hearing?” And they said they heard that I was a good person, that I had a really strong culture, and that I got really good results. That’s the reason they recruited me. The technology that I brought over is a byproduct of those things, but they didn’t recruit me just for the technology. Okay. So now I’m very, very curious about your system. I know that it’s based on your personal identity, your ethics, and all that stuff, but I love to turn things into systems. And you say that your secret sauce is finding people and helping them flourish. So how do you do that? Do you have a framework that you can share with me and with our audience about the steps to finding people and helping them flourish? Sure. So we have our own Kana Operating System, and it's something I highly encourage companies to do—to really spend the time and create their own operating system.Share on X It’s not one-size-fits-all. But within that Kana Operating System, we have a system called The Aloha Way. So ha is breath, and aloha is, of course, the way we say hello, goodbye, and greetings. But it’s also a time to exchange good energy and compassion.  So really spending the time on The Aloha Way to think about what that operating system is—all of it stems around our values. And this will tie back to what you’re asking me as far as recruiting. There are three steps in this. One, you have to know who you are and know that you’re the prize. I think this is an area… I’ve been an angel investor for 20 years. I’ve been in the entrepreneurship world for decades now. Those companies, founders, and entrepreneurs who don’t know who they are, don’t know why they’re the prize, and cannot articulate that are at a severe disadvantage. So that’s step number one.  Number two in The Aloha Way is Aim for the Bullseye. And I can tell you how I do that a little bit later. But it’s finding that bullseye because it’s a two-way street. This is never about pushing on somebody, pushing on a company, or pushing on someone you want to hire. So, Aim for the Bullseye. How do you know what’s in the bullseye? And then number three is Co-Building with Speed. That is really what we’rezon AWS and Microsoft.  We’ve literally had meetings this morning and yesterday where, again, they’re emphasizing how fast we work as a company—with good results and trusted results. So those three things make up The Aloha Way: Know You’re the Prize, Aim for the Bullseye, and Co-Build with Speed. And where do people fall into this? They’re at the very top. People always come first in what we’re doing. When we know who we are, what our mission is, and the fact that we're here to make an impact in a good way, we have a terrific track record of recruiting the right people. People know they're going to flourish. People know we're going to treat…Share on X  And in turn, they become excellent partners with us. We just got off the phone with our 401(k) provider. We are one of the very few companies they know of where, when they ran the data, we give a 5% match to every employee, whether they’re part-time or full-time. We don’t call them interns in our company because everybody has value. Part-time and full-time employees get the 401(k) match from day one. For us, that’s investing in our people because we know we’re the prize. We know our people are going to be doing really good, impactful work, and we need to treat them very well. So that’s just one example. People like to be paid well.  They do. So, Mailani, please explain to me exactly what it means. Why are you the prize? Is this something because your mission is more attractive, or what does it mean?  This goes back to some mentoring that I had from Oren Klaff. Oren Klaff has a whole system on teaching companies and people how to pitch and raise money. Although we’ve never raised money, our cap table is completely clean. But the reason why this is important is it goes back to who you are and what your identity is. So that’s the very first thing that I do whenever I start a company or start an organization.  We have a lot of thoughtful discussion about who we are. When you know who you are, and you know why you're unique, and you know why you can do something better than almost anybody else, that makes you the prize for the right people, for the right organization, and for the right circumstance.Share on X We’re the right company right now because we invested early on, saying, “Hey, people making decisions with this overload of data.” Our core product is called Kana Wave.  So instead of getting crushed by the wave, we help them ride it. It’s a little surfing analogy. But we were ahead of our time with that, and we knew that in the future this was going to be more and more important. Obviously, when GenAI jumped on the scene, it became vastly apparent. So knowing we’re the prize in this area is very important because then you’re able to attract the right people, you attract the right opportunities, and really not pay attention to those that don’t fit.  One of the best things that we do is we get to no fast. That is something we chase. Getting to a no is a gift. It’s a gift because then that opens you up to the right yes. I see this too often. People want to hold on. It’s the wrong thing. It’s a little bit of yes, but it’s not enough. So get to no.  Yeah, I love it. This is very smart. It’s very wise. Okay, so knowing who you are and why you’re unique, why you’re the prize, I love it. I love the sentiment behind this, the pride behind it. It’s fantastic. So what is number two? Aim for the bullseye. What does that mean? What do you mean by that?  I love that question. There’s a very famous “sell me a pen” in The Wolf of Wall Street, and when I do this, I do it differently. So I ask people to sell me a pen. If they try and just tell you about the features of a pen, “Here’s my pen. You should buy this pen because of this,” or, “Do you need something to write with?” there’s so many assumptions in your background that go into those things. The easy button that most people don’t do is they just ask.  You can do all the research. I researched you, Steve. I listened to a whole bunch of the podcasts when you guys reached out wanting to have me on this podcast. But at the end of the day, all I have to do is ask, “What’s most important to you, Steve, for having me as a guest on your podcast?”  I’d like to learn your framework. Okay.  And I’d like to learn about you and see why you’re the prize.  “See why we’re the prize.” So that very thing right there is the bullseye. A lot of times people miss the bullseye, and it doesn’t do anybody any good. That’s the “get to no fast” as well. So if I’m trying to tell you about the Kana Wave platform and you’re doing something completely different, we’re just wasting each other’s time, right? I don’t want to do that. There is a lot more than I can cover in this podcast, but that’s what we do when we train our people.  A lot of it starts with empathy, and it starts with that aloha spirit.Share on X So when you go into something not trying to push or sell or win something, but you’re genuinely curious, and when people ask me, “What’s the one quality that everybody in my company, everybody that we contract with, and our major vendors and partners all have?” We all are curious. A lot of that curiosity is in the form of intelligence, but it’s that curiosity first.  When you’re curious, you ask the right questions. So I have two magic questions for your audience. One, “What are you looking for?” Two, “What’s important to you?” Sounds so simple. I see it happen so rarely in business, and I see it happen so rarely in relationships. People would just get along a lot better if we could just have upfront, honest, transparent conversations around those two things. Right off the bat, what they’re telling you is a guide as far as, “Do you want to continue this conversation? Is there a way that we can help?”  If their bullseye matches up with your value, or the value of your company, your product, or your service, then you’re off to the races to have a conversation. But you can’t do that without that foundation. It really flips it on its head from when I was trained in corporate sales at the beginning of my career. I like this a lot better because then we really genuinely get to know what somebody else wants. At the end of the day, businesses, organizations, and the military are a bunch of people. So treat people like people. That's the Hawaiian part. That's where the aloha spirit really comes in.Share on X  So when you’re explaining this, I’m thinking that “know who you are” and “why you’re the prize” is basically the way to build trust. Then “Aim for the Bullseye.” Then you’ve already built the trust. Maybe I’m getting this wrong, but then you can ask those questions that require some level of vulnerability from the other person to actually tell you what they’re really looking for.  They’re not going to tell it to a stranger they don’t trust because they might feel sensitive about it or they might not want you to know. So is there something to do with trust and trust allowing you to aim for the bullseye?  One hundred percent. That is one of the two things that we deliver. We deliver not just speed, but we deliver trust. For us, trust is solving one problem, and it expands, and it becomes the next and the next. That’s what I’ve seen in my corporate career, my other companies that I started, and especially in this company. Trust begets trust. Again, it’s like, “Well, how do you build trust?” You start with your mindset. “I want to help you flourish, Steve.” “I want to help my customers flourish.” “I want to help our bank flourish.” We’re paying our bank, but I want to help them flourish too.  If you have that mindset first, those are the reps I’m talking about that build your reputation, that build your trust, and then people start referring you. It’s such a beautiful flywheel when it’s done well. The other famous Warren Buffett quote is, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.” So just doing good over and over again. For me, trust starts with the mindset first.  Yeah. I always believe that you can only create trust by trusting first because people cannot trust someone who doesn’t trust them. I think it’s a very dangerous place to trust someone who doesn’t trust you, right?  Yeah.  Because they won’t have your best interest at heart. So I love it. Go first. The aloha spirit. Look for ways to help the other person, then be curious and learn what the bullseye is so that you can aim at it. Then what do you mean by Co-Build with Speed?  Thank you for asking. That’s the final step. In the three steps that we do, that’s the final one. What we deliver is a solution that makes people’s lives better. One of the key psychology pieces is that most people want to feel important in whatever job they’re doing, in whatever aspect of life they are. So let’s empower people to feel important and to be heroes at work, regardless of what the job is.  With that mentality, we came in and said, “Okay, we’re really, really, really good and experts at developing advanced technology solutions.” But here’s what we’re not really good at. We’re not really good at everything outside of that. That’s where we have to have a partner. So we do not sell commercial off-the-shelf software. We do not sell custom software. We're in this really awesome, scalable center where we have Kana Wave, which is a very powerful data and intelligence platform that can be used like Lego.Share on X  What we don’t have is the front-end piece that matches everybody’s workflow. But this is where the speed comes in. We can quickly build that, and the way we do that is we partner with our customers. They know their domain. They know their workflow. They know the problems and challenges. So we do a little bit of tweaking on that, and that’s how we’re able to generate products so quickly that really are unique and maximize the value to the customer in the work they’re getting done.  As an example, our very first project was the “Can I Fight Tonight?” Dashboard. Our country has nuclear weapons. Underpinning those nuclear weapons is the technology to make sure everything is running. The philosophy behind nuclear weapons is strategic deterrence. But in order to deter, you have to have the credibility that everything works. So every two weeks, five people in an underground location were pulling together all of this information manually, putting it into spreadsheets upon spreadsheets, massive horse blankets of spreadsheets, PowerPoints, and manually handling all of this data.  It was taking five people two weeks. We came in, we worked with them, we built the solution. We worked with them to co-build what they actually needed, and we brought that down to where one person could do it in 30 minutes. We’ve done that over and over and over again. We’re working with another government customer right now where it’s taking them 150 hours to get a project done, and we can do it in one hour.  So when I’m talking about co-building with speed, we’re building the last little bit that they actually need on top of this really powerful engine. That has proven to be such a successful model because they’re the ones who care about getting the problem solved, and we’re turning them into the heroes at their own job. It’s so gratifying. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had in my career because we see the impact every single day of what we’re doing.  That’s fascinating. So the Kana Wave platform—you said it’s like Lego. It’s a data engineering platform, and then you take the workflow of that customer and adapt it to this, or somehow interface it with this platform, or use the knowledge of that workflow to essentially streamline the process and go from 150 hours to one hour? Love it. That’s very interesting. So what’s one thing that you’re trying to figure out in Kana Systems right now?  The thing that keeps me awake is not optimizing the opportunities we have. So we’re trying to figure out who the right partners are. We’re a small business, and we know we’re a small business. That’s our superpower, but it also holds us back in some regards. So the thing we’re trying to figure out right now is which companies to partner with. Like I told you, we’ve partnered with Microsoft and Amazon.  They’ve been phenomenal partners in the technology-enabling area. There are other partners out there that we’re considering right now. Again, the only metric I care about—I run the company off one metric. For me, it’s about aloha spirit. How much aloha do we deliver? The way that we look at this is how many people find what we’re helping them with to be useful. Everything else derives from that, right? The growth. The revenue. We make millions, but that’s not the metric I’m chasing.  So what I’m looking for with these new partners is who can help us improve that one metric so we can deliver more aloha. Naturally, we’re looking at larger companies. There are a few small companies that we’re looking at that have interesting edge AI use cases where we can help out. Those are the things that are really challenging me right now as CEO and founder.  So is it about how you measure the deliverable aloha quotient of those target partners that’s the challenge, or is it reaching the target partners to have the opportunity to provide the aloha for them, or is it about something else?  I think it’s a matter of choosing the right partners in a fast, trusted way. It’s a process. With us working so quickly, being able to choose the right partners, but we also don’t choose the wrong partners. So it’s less about the aloha metric. If we’ve qualified them enough that we’re interested in partnering with them, we can figure that part out pretty quickly. But it’s getting over those last few. Do you have any answers?  Yeah. I wonder if it’s something to do with the judgment, whether the judgment to choose those partners is scalable in the company or not. And to what degree your growth is constrained by your ability to transfer the ability to judge the partners to the rest of the organization. So it’s no longer a constraint at your level. What would it look like for the growth of Kana Systems if you didn’t have to be part of the partner selection process anymore because the judgment would be equivalently good at lower levels in the organization?  Well, in that case, then I would think it would be faster.  Okay.  We’re in incredible times right now. As an example, our platform can ingest all kinds of data, tag it, chunk it, organize it. There are entire companies worth billions of dollars just doing one segment of that. The fact that we can do all of that at a fraction of the time and a fraction of the cost—that’s why we’re situated very well right now for growth, and that’s why we’re having so much fun right now. It’s a really fun time in our company.  We have a lot of people who are interested in not just partnering with us and investing in us and acquiring us. We’re getting inundated with a lot of requests for that. Trying to stay focused on who are the right people and companies to be speaking with right now, in addition to our customers, of course. So I think that’s a challenge that companies dealing with factors of scale have to deal with.  Okay. So what makes a potential partner, listening to this podcast, know that they’re the one, that they should give you a call because they would be a big recipient of aloha?  Yeah. Actually, that’s a great question. The things that we look for, number one, they don’t have to call it aloha spirit. It goes by different names. But at its heart, they are people or organizations that are here to do good. What we’re doing right now in the world of defense are things that absolutely can carry over into any line of commercial work. The fact that we can work with sensitive data in some of the most trusted environments in the world means that we can do that in other areas.  We’ve talked to people in finance, capital structures, and energy. There’s a lot of interest in those kinds of other areas to carry over some of our best practices and learnings. We absolutely want someone who is helping us be the best version of ourselves. There is an opportunity for us to sell all or part of the company in the next few years to a strategic partner. That’s something that we would entertain as well.  But really it’s that idea that, hey, together we can build something that’s more impactful than what we currently have. So we can sniff out pretty quickly if people are aligned with the same kind of reasons that we are.  But what I understand is that your two ideal companies, the clients you mentioned, were AWS and Microsoft. These are both huge companies, which means there are huge opportunities to create value, Aloha, perhaps. And you mentioned energy. You mentioned defense. So are these big infrastructure-type platforms where aloha can best be manifested or delivered? What are the commonalities?  Because we don’t know on the face of it whether those companies have the kind of people that you’re looking for. Sometimes you can know that a company has a lot of good people, but for larger companies, it’s harder to know. So what are the commonalities?  At its stake, of course, these are large companies. We’ve been really fortunate that we work with small groups within these very large companies. Those small groups, we can tell right away whether or not they’re a fit. Both of those companies have been very good. We’ve partnered with other much, much smaller companies than that. Well, let me tell you one of my personal ways that I determine ethics.  It’s the Four-Way Test from Rotary. Of the things we think, say, or do: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned? I run through that all the time, and I hold my team and myself to that very standard. We’re always looking to do things that are beneficial to all concerned. They don’t have to be equally beneficial, but they cannot benefit only one party. So as we’re looking at partners, those are some of the things that we’re considering too.  The other piece… We’re in a capitalistic society. We totally embrace that. But you can do good and still be a capitalist. That’s what we’re proving over and over again. I lost my train of thought with what the last part of your question was, Steve.  No, I think you answered it. Basically, it’s not a size issue.  No.  It’s an attitude issue. You’re looking for win-win partnerships. If you find the right kind of people, then the chance of successful collaboration is going to be great. Obviously, as you grow the company, you want to leverage yourself more with your people, which means that you’ll tend to do business with larger companies as well, I believe.  Yeah. You know what’s been so fun about this? I’m one of the 3% of women who own a defense technology company, according to the Small Business Administration. There aren’t very many women in this space. It’s been really interesting because I lead with the soft skills first. A lot of people ask me if I have a background in computer science or artificial intelligence. I have a background. My number one Gallup strength is Strategic. But what I really care about is helping people flourish, optimizing people, and bringing people together for a common mission—not only to accomplish it, but to have fun doing it.  I think that’s something that gets lost. I’m a Gen Xer, and I was taught that you’ve got to put in your chops, you’ve got to sacrifice, and it’s got to be hard. I don’t believe in that. I like to have fun. I like things that are easy. Everybody likes easy things. If I’m good at something, it’s really easy. So trying to give people the opportunity to do those things. This is where it’s been so much fun. Business can be super fun, and I think that’s something we lose out on. In Hawaii, there’s an ancient way of fishing called the Hukilau.  It’s one of our product names. In the Hukilau, instead of fishing by yourself, there’s a hula with this. Instead of fishing by yourself, where you only catch fish for yourself, as a community you come together and fish. You throw out a big net, then you pull the net in together. Here’s the really cool part. Everybody can be different. A little kid next to a big person next to an older person.  But together you’re bringing it all in. Then the part that’s really great—and Hawaiians are known for this—we have the luaus. We party. We eat. We drink. We have music. We dance. We enjoy it. That makes you want to do it again. So why can’t we do that in business too? Why can’t we do this in a super-serious, top-secret environment? Most of our team have Top Secret clearances. We have our facility clearance. It’s pretty unheard of, as small of a business as we are, to have all of these things. But we still have fun.  We still have fun doing all of this. I think that’s something with the Aloha Way that I didn’t call out. How do we actually get to that? If you have the mentality, then people want to show up and continue doing good work. Even our customers will say, “Oh, this is my one fun meeting of the day with Kana Systems.” We just had a meeting with one of our partners, and they said, “This is the one meeting that we look forward to all week because we have a good time.” So I think that needs to be highlighted as well.  No, I agree. People can learn, absorb, and buy in when they have fun much more than if they’re forced to do something. That’s obvious, and I totally relate to it. All right. So if someone is listening to this and they say, “I might be a company that could create these impacts with Kana Systems,” then how do I find out? How do I get in touch? How do I learn more? How do I connect with you guys?  They can email us at aloha@kana.systems. K-A-N-A dot systems. That’s one way. They can reach out to us on LinkedIn. I can be found pretty easily. There’s nobody else with my name on there. They can go to one of the events. We’re going to be speaking at the Amazon DC Summit at the end of the month. We’ll be in San Diego next month for the War Hackers Hackathon. We’re out and about at quite a few defense- and technology-related events. Yeah, that’s about it. Don’t send smoke signals. We can’t see those.  Fantastic. So if you’re looking for a partner who brings a technology platform that could leverage you, and you want lots of good vibes, good results, and a fun work environment, then check out Mailani Veney, who’s the CEO of Kana Systems. She’s on LinkedIn. She’s easy to find. The website has an interesting domain, kana.systems. Check her out speaking around the country. Mailani, thank you for coming and sharing your wisdom and your frameworks. Super fun. If you’re listening and enjoyed this, then make sure you tune in because twice a week we come out and share with you an exciting story from a unique entrepreneur. So thanks for coming, Mailani, and thanks for listening.  Aloha, everybody.  Aloha indeed.  Important Links: Mailani's LinkedIn Mailani's  website Mailani’s Email: aloha@kana.systems

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast!  This week we dive into Luke 10:38-42 and the familiar story of Martha and Mary, two sisters whose different responses to Jesus' presence reveal profound truths about our own spiritual lives. This message beautifully illustrates that our service to God must flow from a heart of devotion rather than obligation, and that no matter how legitimate our activities may be, they can become distractions if they draw us away from intimate fellowship with Christ.

  Toso, my new 2026 Yamaha XMAX 300 Learning something new later in life can feel intimidating. We get comfortable with what we already know, and the thought of looking awkward or even failing can keep us from trying. In this episode, I share why I decided to earn my motorcycle license at 69, purchase a 2026 Yamaha XMAX, and embrace the challenge of becoming a complete beginner again. Along the way, I learned that countless hours spent practicing slow turns and emergency stops in an empty church parking lot weren’t just teaching me how to ride…they were teaching me something far more valuable. Without HotSpringsVillageInsideOut.com this would have never happened. Whether your next adventure involves two wheels, a new hobby, a new career, or simply stepping outside your comfort zone, the principle is the same: everything is hard until it isn’t. If you’re willing to endure the boredom of practice and the humility of being a beginner, you’ll discover new confidence, new freedom, and the joy that comes from proving to yourself that it’s never too late to learn something new. Jef with Maxim Motor Sport, Allen, TX Shout out to Jef at MaximHondaYamaha.net in Allen, Texas (972.359.0202). They’re a big shop with a massive inventory of powersport machines, gear, and accessories. It’s my first motorcycle purchase, and it was extraordinary! And I’m not getting one cent to say so. I highly recommend Jeff and the rest of the crew. Here’s a selfie I took right after Jeff loaded my new scooter onto the trailer – minutes before I pulled away to bring her back to the Village. I named her Toso, a Fiji term that conveys the idea of moving forward, advancing, or continuing on. I’m not from Fiji. Never been. But over 4 decades ago, I ran across a Fijian term, “bula”. It’s analogous to “Aloha” in Hawaiian. It’s a greeting and means both hello and good-bye. It also means “life” and carries the connotation that “life is good.” I started using it as a greeting on my internal memos in the company I was running at the time. I’d write, “Bula!” instead of some other greeting. Years later, when forming my company, Bula had to be incorporated, so I named my company Bula Network (not because of podcasting or publishing, but because of PEOPLE). So I figured this new scooter needed some Fijian name, too. Toso. It’s pronounced TOH-soh, with the emphasis on the first syllable: TOH (rhymes with “go”) and soh (also rhymes with “go”). So it sounds like: TOH-soh.   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! From the Garden of Eden to the cross of Christ, the Sabbath points us toward God's ultimate plan for humanity. We discover that the Sabbath wasn't originally a command but a description of God's perfect rest, a rest that Adam and Eve enjoyed before the fall. We learn that Jesus didn't come to give us another religious obligation but to become our Sabbath rest Himself. Through His sacrifice, He has restored God's original intent of eternal rest in His presence.

Beyond just feeling good, laughter releases dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins, and also works on our heart, our lungs, our muscles, our thoughts, our behaviors. In short: laughter actually is good medicine. And here's a funny thing: whether we laugh in response to something, or we create a situation that gets laughter going, the body will still release the same endorphins. Try this quick, goofy yoga exercise to discover a foolproof way to induce laughter. It is based on the Hawaiian word "Aloha," a nice vowel-y word that opens the mouth and throat just by saying it.

It's Wednesday, July 8th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Rising anti-Christian incidents in Israel Anti-Christian incidents are surging in Israel this year. A report from the Religious Freedom Data Centre found there were 83 incidents of harassment during the second quarter of 2026. That's up from 44 incidents during the first quarter.  These incidents include spitting, verbal assault, threatening behavior, and physical assault. The report noted, “In recent years, these acts have increasingly taken place openly, in broad daylight.” In John 15:18, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.” Hamas dissolved Gaza government The Islamic Resistance Movement, known as Hamas, announced the dissolution of its government in Gaza on Monday. The Islamic militant group took control of the Palestinian territory in 2007. In 2023, it led an attack on Israel. Since then, Israel and Hamas have been at war. The Trump administration has been working on a peace plan to end the conflict over the past year. Hamas is now preparing to transfer power to a committee backed by the United States.  Fewer Americans support Israel Support for Israel is declining in America. The data comes from a new Associated Press-National Opinion Research Center poll.  Forty-percent of U.S. adults say America is too supportive of Israel's conflict with the Palestinians. That's up from 37% in 2024. Along party lines, 60 percent of Republicans say the U.S. shows the right amount of support for Israel. That's up from 33 percent in 2024. Meanwhile, 58 percent of Democrats say the U.S. supports Israel too much. That's up from 45 percent in 2024. Trump: “Our founders were great, our cause was just.” U.S. President Donald Trump gave his Independence Day speech at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. last week.  President Trump celebrated America's unique freedoms on the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. He said, “Unlike so many others in the world, in this country we have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equal justice under the law.” Listen to more of his comments.  TRUMP: “We have thrived and flourished because our founders were great, our cause was just, our people are brave, our culture is exceptional, and our destiny is written by God. (applause) “And, as we can see here tonight, after 250 years, the spirit of 1776 still lives within us all. At 250 years old, we may be the oldest constitutional republic on Earth, but our country is just getting started, because the best is yet to come.” (applause) Psalm 67:3-4 says, “Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You. Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy! For You shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations on Earth.” South Carolina prohibits bank discrimination against Christians The state of South Carolina will prevent banks from discriminating against people on the basis of their beliefs.  Republican Governor Henry McMaster signed the Guarantee Banking Act last week. The measure prohibits large financial institutions in the state from denying financial services to people over their religious or political beliefs.  Matt Sharp with Alliance Defending Freedom commented, “By enacting this bill, South Carolina joins Tennessee and Idaho in leading the charge to protect citizens, non-profits, religious organizations, and businesses from discriminatory debanking.” U.S. stock market surged The U.S. stock market surged during the first half of 2026. Markets grew despite war in the Middle East and oil shortages.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 8.9 percent this year. That's its best growth during the first half of a year since 2021. The S&P 500 climbed 9.4 percent this year, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq grew 12.5 percent.  Britain discovered rare copy of Declaration of Independence PBS reports on a rare copy of the Declaration of Independence that was discovered in the United Kingdom this year.  A volunteer at the country's National Archives was cataloguing the papers of Royal Navy captains from the American War for Independence. That's when volunteer Michael Scurr found the rare copy of the Declaration. It was one of 11 copies printed in Exeter, New Hampshire in July 1776. The copy was later seized by the British Royal Navy on Christmas Eve of the same year. It remained buried in archives until this February. Dr. Graham Moore from The National Archives said the discovery is “one of the rarest forms of the Declaration we know about.” Worldview listeners weigh in from Alaska and Kentucky Trevor Williams, age 10, in Wasilla, Alaska, wrote, “You are doing good with The Worldview in 5 Minutes. Please keep it going! Me and my family listen to it every morning at Bible time. I love to hear it. It is good to know about these things. Keep on doing these podcasts.” Jason Oleson in Fairbanks, Alaska wrote, “I think The Worldview is very unique in that it focuses on lots of statistics and shows things that are very alarming, but also overlooked by many other outlets. The Worldview is also something I get news from because it focuses on events that are relevant to us as Christians. I learn a lot about current events through your newscast and would love to see it keep going!” And Leah Smith in Franklin, Kentucky wrote, “I really appreciate The Worldview in Five Minutes for its weekday overview of what's going on in America and overseas in terms of society, ministry, culture, and politics. “The short length is just perfect for me to get caught up on news without wasting my time scrolling news websites! Most of all, I trust The Worldview for your Christian perspective. I'm actually able to hear about my imprisoned and suffering brothers and sisters, enabling me to pray for them. I'm so uplifted by your Biblical point of view! This newscast is a huge blessing in my life!” 13 Worldview listeners gave $6,747 on Tuesday And finally, on Tuesday by 4:15pm Central, 13 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another 365 days. Our thanks to Sheila in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania who gave $50, Greg in Didsbury, Alberta, Canada who gave $67, Robert in Wilmot, South Dakota who gave $100, and Cathy in Fate, Texas who pledged $15/month for 12 months for a gift of $180.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! Here we study three confrontations between Jesus and the religious leaders—the healing at the Pool of Bethesda, the disciples eating grain, and the man with the withered hand—and discover a consistent pattern. The Pharisees had taken God's simple command to rest on the Sabbath and twisted it into legalism with over 1,500 burdensome regulations, completely missing the point. With legalism, we are essentially putting ourselves in God's place, diminishing the power of the cross, creating divisions within the body of Christ, and worst of all, caring more about regulations than about people.

After David Shephard moved to Hawai‘i to study botany, he realized that the “main character” of the islands is birds — many plants have co-evolved with birds due to their central role in Hawaiian ecosystems. He now designs Aloha Shirts that feature the native plants and wildlife of Hawai‘i, including the ‘i‘iwi, a bird that has cultural significance for Hawaiians.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This passage from John chapter 5 takes us to the Pool of Bethesda, where we encounter a man who had been crippled for 38 years. What makes this healing particularly striking is that it was an act of pure mercy, completely independent of the man's faith. He didn't even know who Jesus was until after his healing. This challenges us to wrestle with difficult theological questions about why God heals some and not others, why some receive miracles through faith while others receive them through sheer grace. The passage reminds us that God's ways are higher than our ways, and sometimes we won't understand His purposes until we meet Him face to face.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! This powerful message takes us into Mark chapter 2, where we witness Jesus doing something absolutely scandalous for His time: calling a despised tax collector named Matthew to be His disciple. Tax collectors in first-century Israel were considered traitors, thieves, and outcasts, completely cut off from religious and social life. The rabbis even taught that repentance was virtually impossible for them. Yet Jesus walks right up to Matthew's tax booth, looks him in the eye, and says those same words He spoke to Peter and the other fishermen: "Follow me."Jesus once again sets the example, displaying compassion for broken people who desperately need a Savior. "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but the sinner."

This week we welcome American Association of Law Libraries leaders Jenny Foster, AALL President for 2025-2026, and Jessica Whytock, AALL Vice President and President-Elect. The conversation offers a preview of the 2026 AALL Annual Meeting & Conference in Cleveland, Ohio, along with a thoughtful look at how the association is supporting legal information professionals during a period of institutional, technological, and professional change.Foster reflects on a leadership year focused on transparency, communication, and meaningful opportunities for member participation. From strengthening channels between members and AALL leadership to intentional volunteer appointments across committees and juries, she describes an association built through relationships. The goal is to ensure newer, mid-career, and seasoned law librarians all have a visible place in shaping the profession's future.Advocacy also plays a central role in the discussion. Foster explains how AALL continues its work on access to legal information, public policy, and coalition-building, even amid staffing transitions. The association's Government Relations Committee has continued meeting with members, offering advocacy training, rebuilding connections with peer organizations, and aligning its work with AALL's strategic priorities. For law librarians, advocacy is both a long-term commitment and a practical responsibility tied to preserving authoritative legal information.The 2026 conference theme, “Leading with Aloha,” gives the Cleveland meeting its distinct point of view. Foster shares how aloha, rooted in kindness, unity, humility, patience, and meaningful connection, became a framework for leadership during uncertain times. More than 65 programs will explore topics ranging from generative AI and legal scholarship to physical collection strategy, access challenges, and the changing role of legal information professionals. Local programming connected to Cleveland's history will bring an added sense of place to the gathering.Whytock looks ahead to her upcoming presidency with a focus on clear pathways for engagement, leadership, grants, scholarships, committee service, and professional growth. Both leaders see artificial intelligence as a catalyst for a deeper conversation about the identity and value of legal information professionals. Their message is straightforward: the future of law librarianship rests in human judgment, critical thinking, ethical discernment, context, access, and a community willing to bring more voices into the room. The 2026 AALL Annual Meeting in Cleveland offers a place for those conversations to move from aspiration into action.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Substack⁠[Special Thanks to ⁠⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Transcript:

Our guest today is a professional surfer and all-around waterman from the island of Maui. He is widely considered one of the greatest watermen of all time. This athletic freak has spent his life pushing the limits of what humans can do in the ocean. From charging giant waves at Jaws and Nazaré, to helping pioneer modern hydrofoiling, to competing at the highest levels of stand-up paddling, kitesurfing, windsurfing, tow surfing, and big-wave surfing…there may not be another athlete on Earth as versatile in the water as this man.He is an 8-time SUP World Champion, winner of the Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge, former WSL Big Wave Performer of the Year, and the youngest person ever inducted into the Surfer's Hall of Fame. He's surfed some of the biggest waves ever ridden, inspired an entire generation of ocean athletes, and helped redefine what's possible across multiple water sports. He is also the star and producer of the upcoming feature film Kai. In this episode we talk story about growing up on Maui, being in the water at an early age, trying many different water-sports, riding big waves, his new film “Kai” coming out this summer, his mindset, lifestyle, family, and so much more.

Your partner is your shadow. The closest mirror you’ll ever look into. You let them sleep in the same bed with you. So whatever you see in them, the thing that irritates you, the thing you wish they’d change, that’s a reflection of something inside you waiting to be dealt with. That’s hard to swallow. It’s also where the real growth lives. In this episode, I sit down with my daughter Skylar back home in Hawaii and talk about something that comes up with almost every relationship client I coach: how do you actually get better at your relationship? You’ll learn: Why “grow together or grow apart” is more than an old saying How polarities attract so the two of you can find harmony (big picture meets detailed, introvert meets extrovert) What to do with the trait in your partner that drives you up the wall Why doing your own growth work can quietly create friction at home How to decide whether your partner should walk this path with you When you harmonize inside yourself, you stop traveling the road alone and start bringing the people you love along with you.

Aloha and welcome to the Mission North Shore's podcast! We read the account of four friends tearing through a roof to bring their paralyzed companion to Jesus. What unfolds is far more than just a healing story. When Jesus declares “your sins are forgiven”, He is asserting His divine authority to forgive sins. This narrative reminds us that while we often focus on our immediate circumstances—our health, finances, or relationships—our greatest need is always spiritual reconciliation with God.

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! Mark chapter 1, the cleansing of a leper. What makes this story extraordinary isn't just the physical healing, but the deep spiritual symbolism woven throughout. We discover that leprosy serves as a picture of our human condition apart from Christ - starting small but spreading relentlessly, numbing our spiritual sensitivity, isolating us from community and God, and leaving us utterly helpless without divine intervention. Just as Jesus cleansed this leper, His blood cleanses us from all sin.

In this episode, Bretman is joined by Miss Kaaaye and Ozzie to dive deep into graduation season, a milestone that nobody takes more seriously than the people of Hawaii.After addressing the elephant in the room (Bretman showing up two hours late), the crew spills tea on Love Island and Miss Universe's new bare-face competition. Then, Bretman unboxes a nostalgic bin of his own graduation leis, sparking a hilarious trip down memory lane- from the absolute torture of graduation practices in the blazing sun and strict dress codes to the ultimate non-educational lessons they learned about life after high school.

Moon Valjean is back from Vegas and somehow managed to visit casinos without gambling, which honestly sounds medically impossible. Instead, he spent his trip hunting down incredible local food, debating the meaning of rice pilaf, and discovering that Vegas off-strip dining prices now require a small business loan. The gang breaks down the bizarre sociology of weekday Vegas flights, why old people apparently own the city Monday through Wednesday, and how airplane emotions hit differently when you're watching a devastating movie at 30,000 feet while trying not to cry next to strangers.Things somehow spiral — as they always do on this daily comedy show — into a full-blown debate about airport etiquette, “Jetway Jesus,” and whether families with babies should board planes first or last. There's also discussion about the horrifying reality of airplane emergency cards, weird travel behavior, and one absolutely insane story involving a man getting onto an airport runway and being sucked into a plane engine. So yeah… maybe don't snack during that segment.The crew also dives into one of the greatest weird-news stories of the year: a guy throwing a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal and immediately discovering that Hawaii does NOT play around. Enter: The Ambassador of Aloha — the unidentified local hero who allegedly beat the guy's ass so thoroughly that the entire community united to protect his identity like he's Batman in flip-flops. Federal charges, local pride, seal justice… this segment has everything.Elsewhere in the episode, the gang discusses Missouri turtle season, roadside turtle rescue etiquette, and why taking home a box turtle is apparently both illegal and a terrible life choice. Lern reveals her strange turtle friendship history, Rafe discusses leprosy armadillos, and somehow Sylvester Stallone's pet turtles from Rocky become part of the conversation because this show has fully abandoned traditional structure.Then comes the flip-flop war.A viral TikTok sparks one of the most passionate debates in recent Rizz Show history after a woman begs men to stop wearing flip-flops entirely. Rafe delivers a deeply serious anti-sandal manifesto involving combat readiness, urinal splashback, and leadership qualities during emergencies. Moon reveals he has literally never owned flip-flops because his toes “don't work like that,” and the entire room somehow turns this into an existential discussion about masculinity, footwear, and public respectability. It's exactly the kind of nonsense you expect from a daily comedy show operating on caffeine and bad decisions.And because the Internet refuses to let humanity evolve peacefully, the crew also uncovers terrifying trends like “ball maxing” and “pheromone maxing” — including teenage boys intentionally refusing to shower in hopes their natural musk will attract women. Spoiler alert: it mostly attracts concern, bacterial buildup, and intervention from family members armed with buckets of water.This episode is packed with weird news, sarcastic humor, pop culture commentary, emotional airplane confessions, Vegas stories, celebrity nonsense, bizarre trends, and the exact kind of beautifully chaotic conversation that makes The Rizzuto Show your favorite daily comedy show from St. Louis.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Honestly? That sentence still undersells how weird this episode gets.Meanwhile, the Crap on Celebrities segment absolutely refuses to behave. The crew covers musicians getting hit with flying objects during concerts, stolen Beyoncé music, celebrity confessions that should've stayed private forever, and Sharon Osbourne allegedly prioritizing dogs over humans during a house fire. Normal morning show stuff.Then things somehow get emotional when Rizz tells the tragic story of Gary the fish — including a homemade strawberry-container coffin, a backyard funeral attempt, and one very unfortunate gust of wind. RIP Gary. You deserved better than becoming airborne.Chelsea Lynn stopped by before her sold-out Loose Lips tour show and immediately exposed the glamorous reality of touring comedy life: nobody's paying $500 for venue water bottles. The gang gets into dressing room riders, expensive catering, why comedians are apparently hauling their own snacks to venues, and how Moon would absolutely exploit tour rider loopholes strictly for fresh tube socks. Which honestly? Respect.Then the show completely derails into one of the greatest games we've ever played on the show: “Nickelback, Creed, or Alice In Chains.” Sounds easy until somebody starts reading lyrics without the music and suddenly every song sounds like a divorced stepdad screaming into a Monster Energy drink at 2AM.Also: if “Look at this photograph” activated sleeper-agent memories in your brain, we sincerely apologize.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Mom Is Told Her Son Is ‘Pheromone Maxxing' After He Refused To Shower For 10 DaysThe Doctor Shortage Is Getting Worse.

A Seattle tourist allegedly threw a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal and then reportedly told everyone, “Fine me, I'm rich.” Unfortunately for him, Hawaii introduced him to a shirtless local nicknamed the “Ambassador of Aloha” almost immediately after.That story alone would've been enough chaos for one episode, but the gang ALSO gets into creepy Craigslist tornado roommates, scary adult situations that still make us feel like terrified children, haunted basements, ladder death anxiety, customer service panic attacks, and why the Apple Store apparently refuses to answer phones despite literally selling phones for a living.Also discussed:The dark comedy movie ObsessionThe world ending on August 12th (allegedly)Rich people apocalypse escape plansDrive-thru embarrassmentDentist horror storiesBusch Stadium heroicsCheryl the mannequinBasically your average Tuesday in St. Louis.Subscribe for more daily comedy, weird news, hilarious fails, celebrity chaos, and unfiltered nonsense from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Can't Sue The ShadowsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The gang kicks things off with chaos before the coffee even hits — Lern forgets her headphones, Rafe and King Scott recap their suspiciously romantic Alamo Drafthouse “date night,” and somehow a horror movie promo turns into a discussion about cursed wish sticks and meat sandwiches. Totally normal behavior for a daily comedy show.Then the show spirals beautifully into creepy Craigslist tornado bunker ads, haunted South City basements, mannequin roommates named Cheryl, and why every adult still turns into a terrified 9-year-old at the dentist. Add in parallel parking panic, scary medical test notifications, and Apple Store rage, and you've got another emotionally stable episode of the Rizzuto Show comedy podcast.The crew gets hyped for Point Fest, shouts out local band Trevor May & The Nomads, and debates whether they're actually cooler now than they were in high school — which somehow leads to discussions about danglers, acne glow-ups, mysterious coolness rankings, and midlife-crisis trucks. Just a completely reasonable funny podcast conversation.Plus: Rafe gets weirdly philosophical about popularity, Lern overshares in ways no one requested, and the gang proves once again that aging gracefully is for quitters. Then it's straight into celebrity gossip, Tool Sphere rumors, Point Fest excitement, and enough sarcastic life advice to accidentally become a self-help seminar. Gas thieves are apparently leveling up from siphoning to full-on drilling holes in gas tanks, and the gang reacts exactly how you'd expect: with panic, truck jokes, and debates about whether giant lifted trucks are compensation for “something else.” Welcome to your favorite daily comedy podcast.Then the show dives into “Majority Rules,” where listeners attempt to match answers with the crew while Hurricane Chris accidentally invents a brand-new version of The Eagles featuring David Lee Roth. Throw in Game of Thrones confusion, celebrity guessing disasters, Point Fest ticket giveaways, and Rafe barely holding the game together, and you've got another masterpiece of organized nonsense from The Rizzuto Show.
