Even a lean body can be suffering from energy toxicity, leading to poor metabolic health and stubborn weight gain. In episode 848 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with guest Craig Emmerich to reveal the truth about your personal fat threshold and why your fat cells might be rejecting insulin, causing fat to accumulate in your organs. They explore the science behind metabolic syndrome, how to identify if you've hit your fat limit, and why the common carnivore diet advice to "just eat more fat" can actually make things worse. This discussion covers everything from the role of protein and carbohydrates in energy balance to the real reasons people fail on long-term diets, offering a new perspective on achieving true health beyond just the number on the scale.Ready to stop guessing and start building a truly optimized physique?

From Project Genesis of the White House, which held a special meeting with 33 technology heads in late 2025, to the Quantum Genesys music event in Egypt and Henry Kissinger's book titled “Genesis”; and from the Big Beautiful Bill's AI moratorium to Samsung's 6G Project and a recent White House report on “Winning the 6G Race,” the sudden explosion of an AI arms race has largely been obscured by the very people who once attempted to expose its dangers. Elon Musk and his desire to have a legion of children is suddenly acceptable because he crossed the political dividing line. Now if the richest man in the world wants to run the same breeding program Jeffrey Epstein was working on, or take away employment and money in exchange for automation and UBI, he is cheered a hero of team-humanity. Perhaps Musk wants you to have more children for the data, or perhaps the goal is to replace older generations with a new, and final, human generation that will be subservient to the technocratic monarchy of Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance, and Peter Thiel. Interestingly, Yarvin said the Trump administration had failed in its goals after the invasion of Venezuela, mostly was the president wasn't authoritarian enough; he fell into the trappings of checks and balances and allowed Democrats to remain in power. This is precisely the same argument Alex Jones made to “dismantle the deepstate.” Under the guise of defeating Democrats, the entire system must be collapsed so that it can be replaced by technocracy while people's minds are hijacked by Musk's brain implants. The goal seems to be a rebranding of the ultimate conspiracy, including the media, great resetting of society, secret societies, etc., and the production of a new man in the Omega generation. From Alpha to Omega, Revelation to Genesis. It's therefore no coincidence that the biggest names in genetics, including 23 and me and ancestry.com, are so connected to the church of Latter-day Saints, synagogues, and the Catholic Church along with companies like Google and Blackstone. The eschatological component of the new world and new man are as religious as they are anti-human, spiritual as they are dark occult.

Character creation in Pathfinder 2e is like walking into a fantasy bakery: everything looks amazing, you want all of it, and somehow you leave with a perfectly balanced character instead of a chaotic pile of half-baked ideas. In this RPGBOT.Quickstart episode, we guide you through the PF2e character creation process step by step without analysis paralysis, spreadsheet-induced panic, or accidentally building a wizard who can't read their own spellbook. Pathfinder 2e Re-Releases! Just in time for cozy dice rolling and awkward family game nights, RPGBOT is re-releasing our Pathfinder 2e episodes for the 2025 holiday season! Whether you're onboarding new players, rebuilding old characters, or finally convincing your D&D group to try PF2e, our Quickstart Pathfinder 2e series is coming back to help you start strong and play smart. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Quickstart series, we break down Pathfinder Second Edition character creation from start to finish, helping new and returning players understand how PF2e builds characters that are flexible, balanced, and deeply customizable. We walk through the full process: ancestry, background, class, ability boosts, skills, feats, and proficiencies, and explain how each choice shapes your character's role in the party. The discussion focuses on how Pathfinder 2e character creation differs from other tabletop RPG systems, emphasizing player choice at every stage without overwhelming complexity. We explain how ability scores are generated, why feats matter at level one, and how proficiency tiers influence long-term character growth. Whether you're building a frontline fighter, a cunning rogue, or a spellcaster with a carefully tuned spell list, this episode gives you the tools to make informed, confident decisions. If you're new to Pathfinder Second Edition or helping others get started, this episode serves as a clear, approachable character creation guide that sets you up for success before the first initiative roll. Key Takeaways Pathfinder 2e character creation is modular, flexible, and highly balanced. Ancestry, background, and class all provide meaningful mechanical benefits. Ability boosts replace traditional rolling, ensuring fair and effective characters. Feats at level one define character identity early in the game. Proficiency tiers shape how characters grow over time. PF2e supports strong character concepts without trap choices. A solid character foundation makes learning Pathfinder 2e much easier.

Happy holidays! On this festive episode, Ginger takes us all the way back to medieval times, where folks celebrated their winter celebrations with turkey legs and torturing peasants on spiked wheels.

Next, we discuss Les Bal des Ardents, a hell of a holiday party involving fire, being on fire, and the subsequent apology tour. Featuring Ren's mom, DJ, and the plot of Office Space.Citations at thisfnguypod.com.

I had planned to take this week and next off but I can't leave y'all hanging without your fix on Christmas! This week I'm bringing you a special mini fix episode about the Christmas Truce of 1914. This remarkable ceasefire that happened spontaneously all along the Western Front during the first winter of World War I has shocked and inspired the masses ever since. But despite tons of eyewitness accounts and tangible evidence like letters, autographs, and photos, there are many who refuse to believe that the Christmas Truce ever happened. So, what do you think? Is this actual history or merely a myth? Support the show!

Decades later, an AncestryDNA test and unexpected messages from strangers unraveled the truth—leading her to her biological father living just 20 minutes away. Their emotional first meeting, the highs and lows of building a relationship at midlife, and Constance's journey toward grace, understanding, and identity make this a deeply meaningful NPE story.Constance can be reached via email constancethenpe@gmail.comNPE Stories PatreonNPE Stories facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/NPEstories

When Dani was in eighth grade, she watched her grandmother wash and braid her own mother's hair. In that moment, she was witness to a ritual passed on through generations of Black women.Join me as Dani Allen, Senior Director of Talent Acquisition at Ancestry, shares her family's journey from the Deep South to Wisconsin during the 1930s and 40s as part of The Great Migration. Together we explore how her grandfather's search for work in the auto industry led their family north, the tumultuous marriage that nearly ended in tragedy, and the newspaper clipping that finally confirmed whispered family stories.From her great-grandmother's striking blue eyes and the meaning behind hair care rituals, to her weekly Zoom calls with her 90-year-old grandmother filled with freshly discovered stories, Dani reveals how intergenerational connections shape identity and preserve legacy. She shares how these discoveries help her two-year-old granddaughter understand the resilient women whose strength flows through her veins. Dani's story reminds us that family history isn't just about the past. It's about the bonds we nurture today that will live on in generations to come.〰️

Labor of Love: A Podcast for BIPOC Adoptees Navigating Parenthood
This episode with Dr. David McCarty-Caplan touches on so many profound and heartfelt areas, carried by the radical vulnerability, honesty, and compassion he brings to the conversation. David generously shares about his reunion with his Colombian birth family-- first on his own, and later with his children and partner. We explore how his kids embraced reunion and modeled openness, curiosity and love with his family, and how their presence and perspective helped guide and teach him throughout the process. David also reflects on his identity as a Jewish Colombian adoptee and his powerful work community building with and for Jewish adoptees of color. Dr. David McCarty-Caplan BioDr. David McCarty-Caplan (PhD) is a researcher, educator, writer, and consultant whose work sits at the intersection of identity, belonging, and social justice. Born in Bogotá, Colombia and adopted into a white Jewish family in the United States, David's life has been shaped by questions of race, family, and home. These experiences continue to inform his passion for helping adoptees and their families navigate the complex layers of identity, racism, and connection that often accompany adoption. Drawing on his background as a social work researcher and educator, David brings both personal insight and professional rigor to his work with organizations, communities, and families. He is especially interested in how people and institutions can create spaces where all feel seen and valued. David lives in Los Angeles with his wife and their two children, ages 12 and 10. As a husband, father, and adoptee, he is continually exploring what it means to nurture belonging — in his family, in his work, and in the broader world.https://www.shadesofbelonging.com/Co-Hosts: Nari Baker & Robyn ParkMusic: Mike Marlatt & Paul GulledgeAudio Production: Frederico Soler FernándezArtwork: Dalhe KimListen on: iTunes & SpotifyInstagram: @laboroflovepodcastSupport via Venmo: @laboroflovepodcast

What if your family's pioneer past looked exactly like your favorite childhood TV show? When Lisa Elzey discovered her great-great-grandfather's story, she realized she'd been watching his life every Monday night on Little House on the Prairie. Complete with homesteading, hand-hewn cabins, and a white beard down to his belly.In this episode, Lisa shares how a purple-inked memoir written by her great-grandmother's half-sister unlocked the story of Johann Heinrich Seba, a German immigrant who arrived alone at 18, hacked through Minnesota wilderness for a mile and a half in a single day, and became so beloved his community lowered flags to half-staff when he died. For decades, Lisa and her mother searched for his origins in Germany, writing letters to archives and scrolling through endless microfilm reels. Then in 2016, a single search on Ancestry revealed not just where he was from, but a family secret hidden in Lutheran christening records that changed everything they thought they knew.Discover how one ancestor's story can bridge four generations of women, why a steeple clock matters more than any antique collection, and what happens when patience meets the right record at exactly the right time.〰️

India's colonial past under British rule is a significant chapter in its history and a treasure trove for those seeking to trace their ancestry. The British were meticulous record-keepers, and much of their documentation has survived, providing invaluable insights into Indian families during the 18th to mid-20th centuries. Whether your ancestors served in the militia, were part of the landowning class, or engaged in trade, there's a strong chance that colonial records hold the key to unlocking your family's history. These records offer more than just names and dates—they provide context about the social, economic, and political backdrop in which your ancestors lived. But where do you begin?

Michael Jaco brings together Ron and Patty Plumb along with Lewis Herms for a powerful, no-nonsense exploration into one of the most explosive topics of our time — the battle for human sovereignty and the fight to reclaim America's voting system. This conversation exposes the deeper war between human consciousness and the alleged influence of reptilian-controlled power structures embedded in global politics and U.S. elections. Michael discusses the human lineage behind leaders like President Trump, JFK, and Ronald Reagan, and how their rise challenged entrenched dark networks operating behind the scenes. Ron and Patty Plumb deliver an extraordinary firsthand account of what happened in Shasta County, where they led the historic movement to eliminate Dominion voting machines and restore hand-counted paper ballots. They break down the pushback they faced, the victories they achieved, and the exact steps counties across America can follow to reclaim their elections. Lewis Herms adds crucial insight into the broader national movement — exposing psychological manipulation, elite control systems, and the grassroots awakening happening through education, activism, and state-level reform. His work ties directly into the New California State movement, a rapidly growing initiative aimed at restoring constitutional governance. If you're looking for real solutions and real results, this episode offers a blueprint for taking your power back — spiritually, politically, and locally.
