Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jon and Greg as they applaud President Trump for securing multiple peace agreements, expose the Biden administration's blatant politicization of FEMA, and blast a Florida high school for suspending its football coach  (a longtime NFL quarterback) for ridiculous reasons.First, they applaud the Trump administration for brokering a peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan after a decades-long conflict that involved the appalling slaughter of many Armenians. The deal marks the fourth peace agreement the Trump administration has facilitated this year. Jon and Greg criticize the media for providing so little coverage of these peace agreements and discuss Trump's very different approach to foreign policy.Next, they recoil at reports that the Biden administration's priority at FEMA was to register and mobilize voters rather than providing disaster relief. The reports follow stories from 2024 that FEMA did not contact hurricane victims who had Trump signs in their yards.Finally, they fume as NFL quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was suspended from his high school coaching job for such dastardly acts as paying for Ubers to take his players home through rough neighborhoods, making sure they were well fed, and paying for football camps out of his own pocket. As a result, Bridgewater is now back in the NFL and unable to coach those kids.

Groong Week in Review - August 3, 2025In Episode 457 of the Groong Podcast, we examine growing regional and domestic pressures on Armenia. From a U.S.-backed proposal to lease the Zangezur Corridor to Trump's August 8 ultimatum for Russia to cease its war in Ukraine, the episode explores how shifting global power dynamics could impact Armenia's sovereignty and economy. We also look at Azerbaijan's expulsion of the ICRC and worsening conditions for Armenian POWs, the growing list of political prisoners in Armenia, and the suspicious conviction related to the death of Sona Mnatsakanyan. With mounting restrictions on Armenian exports to Russia and fires consuming cultural sites in Artsakh, the conversation considers whether Armenia's leadership is responding effectively to the country's mounting internal and external challenges.Topics:  Trump Ultimatum to Putin  US Sanctions effect on Armenia  Turkey, US, and Armenia's Territory  The Kitchen SinkGuest: Benyamin PoghosyanHosts:Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 457 | Recorded: August 4, 2025SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/457VIDEO: https://youtu.be/CehSMWvolf4Subscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

On the eve of launching a genocidal conflict in 1939, Adolf Hitler is reported to have asked "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" The event he was referring to was the near decade long systematic destruction of the ethnic Armenian community living in the Ottoman Empire or today's Turkiye.  Hitler was alluding to the old adage 'History is written by the victors.' In essence, you can do the most terrible things but if you come out on top and control the narrative then no one knows or seemingly cares.   A century later, the Armenian genocide hasn't been forgotten though, least of all in the now independent nation of Armenia which borders Turkiye. But Hitler was partially right. History and narratives pertaining to the past aren't always accurate. And today, a rival version of history exists within Turkish society in which there was no genocide.  In this episode, I speak with Prof. Joachim J. Savelsberg author of Knowing About Genocide: Armenian Suffering and Epistemic Struggles.   We discuss how trauma and terrible events of the past come to be viewed differently through the prism of society.  Music from Pixabay Episode Guest: Joachim J. Savelsberg Joachim J. Savelsberg is Professor of Sociology and Law and Arsham and Charlotte Ohanessian Chair at the University of Minnesota.

In this special episode of The Fire These Times, Elia is joined by four members of the From The Periphery media collective to talk about the ongoing famine in Gaza, Israel's genocide and the world's complicity. Despite the obviously horrific nature of this topic, we insisted on not giving in to despair. The génocidaires cannot win.The five participants connected to the Gaza genocide through their own respective experiences: Leila Al-Shami (Syria: The Inconvenient Revolution) is a Syrian-British activist and writer who lived in Gaza for three years; Karena Avedissian (Obscuristan) is an Armenian scholar who continues to reflect on the legacy of the Armenian genocide and the role of Genocide studies today; Daniel Voskoboynik (Hidah: Jewish Counter-Colonial Thoughts) joined us from what used to be the Warsaw Ghetto, site of one of the most infamous episodes of the Holocaust; israa' (The Mutual Aid Podcast) has been involved in Gaza mutual aid (click here for the link); and finally Elia is a Palestinian-Lebanese whose grandfather was a Palestinian refugee.They spoke about pushing back against despair, and the importance of rejecting Israel's genocide as the new normal.

Azerbaijan is increasingly engaging in tit-for-tat actions towards powerful neighbour Russia amid escalating tensions in the South Caucasus region. This comes as Baku deepens its military cooperation with long-standing ally Turkey. In a highly publicised move, Azerbaijani security forces in Baku recently paraded seven arrested Russian journalists – working for the Russian state-funded Sputnik news agency – in front of the media. Their detentions followed the deaths last month of two Azerbaijani nationals in Russian custody, which sparked public outrage in Baku. "That was quite shocking for Baku, for Azerbaijani society – the cruelty of the behaviour and the large-scale violence," Zaur Gasimov of the German Academic Exchange Service, a professor and expert on Azerbaijani-Russian relations told RFI. "And the Russian-wide persecution of the leaders of Azerbaijani diasporic organisations took place (this month)," he added. Tit-for-tat tactics Tensions between Russia and Azerbaijan have been simmering since December, when Russian air defences accidentally downed an Azerbaijani passenger aircraft. Baku strongly condemned Moscow's lack of an official apology. The deaths in custody, which Moscow insisted were from natural causes, and the broader crackdown on Azerbaijan's diaspora are being interpreted in Baku as deliberate signals. "This kind of news had to frighten Azerbaijani society, which is aware of the fact that around two million ethnic Azeris with Azerbaijani and Russian passports are living in the Russian Federation," explained Gasimov. "So the signal is that we can oust them, and they would come to Azerbaijan. That should be an economic threat." Gasimov noted that while Baku may have previously backed down in the face of Russian pressure, this time appears different. "The reaction of Azerbaijan was just to react, with tit-for-tat tactics," he said. Shifting power in Caucasus Baku's self-confidence is partly attributed to its military success in 2020, when it regained control over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region and adjacent territories from Armenian forces after a six-week war. "The South Caucasus is changing," noted Farid Shafiyev, Chairman of the Baku-based Centre for Analysis of International Relations. Shafiyev argues that the era of Moscow treating the region as its backyard is over. "Russia cannot just grasp and accept this change because of its imperial arrogance; it demands subordination, and that has changed for a number of reasons. First of all, due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, and second, due to the trajectory of events following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The third very important factor is Turkey," added Shafiyev. Turkey, a long-standing ally of Azerbaijan, has significantly increased military cooperation and arms sales in recent years. Turkish-made drones played a key role in Azerbaijan's 2020 military campaign. In 2021, the Shusha Declaration was signed, committing both nations to mutual military support in the event of aggression. Turkey also plans to establish one of its largest overseas military bases in Azerbaijan. "A very strong relationship with Ankara, marked by strong cooperation in the economic and military fields for decades, as also outlined in the Shusha Declaration several years ago, is an asset and one of the elements of Azerbaijan's growing self-confidence," said Gasimov. Azerbaijan and Turkey build bridges amid declining influence of Iran Strategic rivalries  Turkey's expanding influence in the South Caucasus – at Russia's expense – is the latest in a series of regional rivalries between the two powers. Turkish-backed forces countered a Russian-aligned warlord in Libya, and Turkey-supported factions have contested Russian influence in Syria. These confrontations have strained the once-close ties between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin. "No doubt that the Putin-Erdogan relationship is not as good as it used to be because we've either instigated or become participants in events in the South Caucasus and Syria," said analyst Atilla Yeşilada of Global Source Partners. Growing military buildup in Azerbaijan and Armenia a concern for peace talks Nevertheless, Yesilada believes pragmatism will prevail – for now – given Turkey's dependence on Russian energy and trade. "The economic interests are so huge, there is a huge chasm between not being too friendly and being antagonistic. I don't think we've got to that point. If we did, there would be serious provocations in Turkey," he warned. Until now, Turkish and Russian leaders have largely managed to compartmentalise their differences. However, that approach may soon face its toughest test yet, as Azerbaijan remains a strategic priority for Turkey, while Russia has long considered the Caucasus to be within its traditional sphere of influence. "We don't know what will be Russia's next target. We cannot exclude that Russia might be quite assertive in the South Caucasus in the future," warned Shafiyev. "I think the easiest way is to build friendly relationships and economic partnerships with the countries of the South Caucasus. Unfortunately, Moscow looks like it's not ready for a partnership. But if it's ready, we would welcome it," he added.

As global powers look away, Armenians face displacement and erasure in Artsakh, aided by international arms deals and political apathy. While alleged ties between Israel and Azerbaijan fuel ethnic cleansing, U.S. aid remains minimal and outrage scarce.

Hold onto your Fendi tags and your Zaddy energy, because Reza Farahan is in the boutique and the tea is steeped in Persian opulence! On this glitzy, hilarious, and wildly unfiltered sit-down when the Shahs of Sunset icon turns up the charm—and the shade. From BravoCon buzz to Beverly Hills realness, no subject is off limits. We kick things off with a love fest over interior wellness drinks and a lunch at Novikov that blossomed into a newfound friendship. Reza spills about Persian parties, being raised in a house filled with constant entertaining, and why he avoids some Beverly Hills events—something Pol' totally relates to from his Armenian background. And the chumps? Yes, Jeff Lewis gets a name drop, and the Billboard moment in NYC lights up the convo. The fashion talk hits hard when Reza reveals he's got racks of unworn designer looks (hello, $1500 silk shirts!)—but no, he's not donating them, honey. Those pieces are headed to BravoCon. Sorry, Pol', no couture hand-me-downs this time. They also reminisce about Yours, Mine & Ours and the hilarious, never-picked-up Persian Home Conversion pitch, complete with dead taxidermy and diamond water yoga. And yes, we want that show! Then it's all about SnowWhite90210 and the upcoming SnowBuBu dolls—yes, changeable bows, crowns, and even a recorded growl. The merch madness is real, and Patrik's hoping it'll buy him a house in the Flats. The convo dives deep into relationships: Reza shares about his decade-long marriage to husband Adam (14 years total!), their love of travel, and plans for a milestone anniversary trip or bash. We find out Adam's a chill, homebody Gemini while Reza is the social butterfly (and low-key Zaddy to their adorable dog, Marty). The episode explores balance in relationships, how opposites attract, and what it's like to be in the public eye with a partner who isn't about the spotlight. Then… the infamous coffee reading. Pol' picks up on some seriously spooky truths: Reza's planning a massive home renovation, which—shockingly—he hasn't told anyone publicly. He's floored as Pol' accurately senses energy shifts, spiritual anchors, and even a mysterious, sacred presence tied to the longtime previous homeowner. It's not a ghost, but it's definitely a vibe. Reza confirms it all—including a hidden hook with a “key to the safe” he found under a vanity drawer. Wild! The real estate talk turns educational as Reza drops wisdom from his Iranian family legacy and gives two golden rules: never lease and never pay credit card interest. Patrik confesses he's breaking both. There's also a juicy story about selling his husband's G-Wagon behind his back. (He thought it was just in for service. Spoiler: it wasn't.) From Gemini exes to Cartier rings, Van Cleef to juice cleanses, and even Patrik & Pol's 22-year love story and 89-country travel tradition—this episode is equal parts glam, LOL, heart, and hustle. And yes, Reza may or may not be filming for a top-secret show (Valley Persian Style?), but his wardrobe's ready for the spotlight, even if he can't confirm a thing. BravoCon, dolls, coffee grounds, and home makeovers—it's all happening. ✨ Don't miss Part 2—it only gets juicier.

The deaths of over a million Armenians is one such tragedy. Few tragedies have faced such bitter political discussion after the fact as the Armenian Incident. , others deny it ever happened, insist it was an accident, or that it was a justified response to a political threat. In this video, we look at the unspeakable things that happened in the Armenian Incident and how its complicated legacy is still hotly debated today. If you appreciate these videos, leave a like to show your support and subscribe to A Day In History for more content like this. Setting the Stage Nestled in the Caucasus Mountains on the border between Europe and Asia, Armenia's long history has seen it caught between countless empires. By the late 19th century, Western Armenia was firmly under the control of the Ottoman Empire while a smaller Eastern portion was controlled by the Russians. The Armenians of the Ottoman Empire faced many obstacles. As a Christian minority in a Muslim-majority Empire, they were subject to legal discrimination and higher taxes. Over time, racial ideologies that privileged ethnic Turks opened new opportunities for anti-Armenian discrimination. Another significant obstacle was their role as a middleman minority. A middleman minority is an ethnic group that is overrepresented in occupations like bankers, merchants, and bureaucrats relative to their small overall population. Other middleman minorities around the world included the Chinese in Southeast Asia, the Gujaratis in India, and most famously the Jews in Europe and the United States. Although only a small percentage of Armenians worked in these lucrative jobs, all Armenians were subject to discrimination that described them as parasites, thieves, and leeches who were stealing the wealth of the rest of the population. This caused outbreaks of violence and persecution throughout the late 19th century. The Ottoman government regularly seized Armenian land to redistribute to Muslim and Kurdish settlers and the Kurdish Hamidian regiments were given free reign to raid Armenian villages as part of their resettlement. Despite attempts to muster international support, the Armenians were left to defend themselves and formed a number of impromptu militia groups to defend their towns, but the Ottoman authorities interpreted this as a sign of rebellion and cracked down hard in the 1890s. #armenian #history #worldwar1 #ottoman #armenianhistory

This week welcome Stacie Greenwell into the Pol' Atteu Beverly Hills Boutique. Hollywood may be built on stories, but few are as fiercely fabulous and unexpectedly heartfelt as hers. In our dazzling “Undressed” sit-down, we welcome the award-nominated scene-stealer whose breakout line “F*ck the police” from Amazon Prime Video's Cross had fans gagged—and law enforcement shook! Kicking things off with signature sass, we roll out the red carpet for Stacie (yes, in green!) and dive into her seriously stacked resume—from Shameless to Sharp Objects with Amy Adams, to Big Little Lies with Reese Witherspoon and The Pit (hello, twisted testicles!). She spills all about being handpicked by the late, legendary director Jean-Marc Vallée, who kept sliding her into emotional scenes because he saw something extraordinary in her. Spoiler alert: he was right. But the real plot twist? Before stealing scenes on screen, Stacie was slaying in the courtroom. A University of Virginia Law grad and former Washington D.C. bankruptcy attorney, she recounts the life-changing moment in a law library when a voice whispered, “This is not your life.” One mock trial and a wig later, she was hooked on performance—and Broadway, baby! We insist she got off the bus and landed on a billboard. Honestly? Not far from the truth. As the convo heats up, on our Gown and Out in Beverly Hills connections to Modern Family, and bond with Stacie over shared Emmy hopes. (She was submitted for not one but TWO categories: Guest Actress in The Pit and Supporting Actress in Cross—yes, queens manifest!) We even get some juicy Jeff Bezos wedding FOMO, throwbacks to our Emmys encounter, and why Beverly Hills PD officers are hotter than hot. (Six-packs and skincare routines? Sign us up.) The glamour hits a cosmic high with Pol's Armenian coffee reading, which brings chills and truth bombs. An "E" appears in Stacie's cup—revealing Cousin Erica as her spiritual anchor and greatest supporter. The reading also uncovers her desire to write—a second calling that's destined to unlock a whole new dimension of her career. Whether it's a memoir, screenplay, or her own pilot, the universe is saying: the pen is your power, girl. ✍️ This episode is brimming with soul, sparkle, and major laughs—from nipping dogs and self-tape disasters to iconic moments with Martha Stewart, Katie Couric, and Judge Lauren Lake (yes, the singing judge!). It's a masterclass in intuition, reinvention, and letting your spirit lead you from the courtroom to the soundstage.

In EVN Report's news roundup for the week of July 18: a U.S.-backed proposal to lease a 32-km stretch of Armenian territory linking Azerbaijan to Nakhichevan raises questions over sovereignty; PM Nikol Pashinyan holds a marathon press conference on regional connectivity, Armenia's EU path, the CSTO and more; and from detention, Russian-Armenian billionaire Samvel Karapetyan announces plans to launch a new political party.

The music of Alan Hovhaness, one of America's most prolific composers, enchants with his signature synthesis of East and West. Influenced by his Armenian heritage and a fascination with nature and spirituality, Hovhaness sought to create music “for all people, music which is beautiful and healing.” Raymond Bisha introduces the latest Naxos album of his works which features violinist Zina Schiff, a Heifetz protégée whose international career spans five decades on five continents.

Sometimes life is about timing. Just as I was inquiring about the wine of an Armenian wine maker, I received an email from a gentleman thanking me for the inquiry, and that he happens to be in LA...and would love to sit for a podcast. I was floored. When Vahagn sat down and began to speak, I knew we would hit it off. He had insight and passion. And it turns out that the winemaker, Zara Muradyan is his wife. What are the odds..lol. Oxford educated with a grounded outlook on wine, we hit it off and the conversation could have gone on for hours. Vahagn Voskanyan wants you to remember his name—not for its tricky spelling, but for the remarkable story behind every bottle he touches. You will come away with an entirely fresh appreciation for what it means to make wine in Armenia, where every sip is less about chasing trends and more about channeling centuries of heritage, family resilience, and pure emotion into the glass. As Vahagnn candidly shares, wine is a process—not just a result—and through his partnership with his trailblazing wife, Zara, he's helping to reignite an Armenian industry that only recently emerged from decades of obscurity. Listeners will discover how Zara's relentless pursuit of innovation, from rewriting Armenia's winemaking curriculum to engineering a new kind of Armenian vermouth, is matched only by Vahagnn's drive to connect their wines to the hearts of drinkers across the world. You'll learn the hard truths and soft skills of building a boutique winery where “less is more” and the story matters as much as the science. Through tales of global journeys, emotional tastings, and lessons drawn from both Soviet-era and millennia-old winemaking traditions, you'll gain insight into the unique character of Armenian grapes, the challenge of defining terroir when history itself is being rewritten, and the profound belief that wine should spark conversation, curiosity, and connection. Whether it's reflecting on the emotion of a perfectly balanced wine, discussing how innovation meets tradition, or embracing the “life of wine” over the fleeting allure of lifestyle, Vahagnn's wisdom and humility shine through. Expect to finish the episode not just wanting to taste their story, but also to rethink what, and who, really fills the bottle in front of you.

An unexpected VHS in a Toronto basement leads to finding a branch of the family that has been lost for 60 years, and uncovering the last Armenian village still surviving in Turkey. A multi-generational story told by producer Nyree Abrahamian. Support the show

After the outbreak of the 2011 Syrian War, a number Syrian-Armenians who had lived in the territory for generations, fled to the Republic of Armenia. This book traces the experiences of Syrian-Armenian women as they navigated their changing and gendered identities from their adopted 'homeland' to their socially constructed new 'ancestral' home in Armenia. The rich ethnographic research conducted over 6 years by the author reveals how women adjusted to new lives in Armenia, supported themselves through gendered work such as embroidery production, yet mostly challenge simple identities such as 'refugee' or 'repatriate, ' existing in a state of what the author terms "painful belonging". The book further reveals crucial insight into how experiences and traumatic memories of war in Syria and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict reciprocally shape each other in the minds of the women interviewed.

There is a chilling pattern of how governments have systematically dehumanized, displaced, and exterminated entire groups of people throughout history using bureaucratic steps.Drawing from real atrocities such as the Holocaust, the Khmer Rouge regime, the Rwandan genocide, and the Armenian genocide, as well as injustices in U.S. history like the internment of Japanese Americans and the treatment of Native and African Americans, I trace a common structure of how oppression builds: with labels, propaganda, silence, and “legal” processes. Societal fear and political power can normalize cruelty. So here's your reminder of the responsibility to notice, speak out, and act before it's too late. Recognize familiar patterns and refuse to let history repeat itself.Get in touch on HorrorStory.com

In our Part two we welcome back our glamorous friend, Crystal Kung Minkoff—Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, digital entrepreneur, and co-host of the Humble Brag Podcast. From Beverly Hills to Aspen, no topic is off-limits as they peel back the designer layers of fame, friendship, and family. Housewives Highs & HindsightsCrystal candidly opens up about her time on RHOBH, revealing she felt embarrassed to fully lean in and often tried to hide from the spotlight. She reflects on how the experience taught her the power of owning her narrative—something she now embraces in podcasting and digital ventures without shame. Hollywood & Bling Empire GossipPatrik digs into Crystal's social circle, including Christine Chiu of Bling Empire, who almost joined RHOBH before choosing Netflix glitz instead. Crystal shares how family health issues kept Christine off Bravo—and why she respects the decision not to exploit real-life struggles for ratings. Parenting in the Digital AgeThe conversation turns heartfelt as Crystal explains why her kids still don't have phones—only Apple Watches—and how social media's toxicity drives her protective instincts. Patrik counters with hilarious stories of tracking their foster daughter's location and the day she vanished…only to FaceTime them from a restaurant in Aspen after hopping a private jet with Nicolas Cage's son. Runway Rundown & Reunion FashionsThe group plays their signature Runway Rundown, dishing on RHOBH reunion looks. Patrik roasts Garcelle Beauvais'pearl mesh dress—revealing Bravo forced a last-minute wardrobe change after Sutton wore a similar color, canceling Garcelle's custom Swarovski-beaded nude gown Pol' spent nights creating. Crystal admits she prefers understated elegance and reveals her own reunion look: a deep green lace cocktail dress by Yannick Machado, paired with an enormous 30-carat Indian ring (sadly, just on loan!). Celebrity Style & Designer DramaThey also weigh in on Erika Jayne's infamous gold mesh gown by Marco Marco—especially Erika's dismissive “some designer” remark that sparked outrage in the fashion world. Patrik shares insights about dressing Beyoncé, Cardi B, and the tricky politics of costume and design. Personal Revelations & Body ImageCrystal bravely discusses her history with an eating disorder and body dysmorphia, explaining how showing cleavage on TV was a huge step in reclaiming her self-esteem. Pol' and Patrik shower her with praise, reminding her she's every bit a supermodel. Coffee Reading MagicThe episode crescendos with Pol's Armenian coffee reading. He sees unresolved tension with someone close—a betrayal that split a friend group. Crystal resonates instantly, recalling a fallout that divided her social circle. Pol' guides her through a ritual to release the energy. Crystal is visibly moved, ready to set herself free. Final Thoughts & LaughsAs the episode wraps, Crystal marvels at how accurate the reading felt and jokes about her “simple” life—while wearing a 30-carat ring and couture.
