Podcasts about Avalon

Willow Avalon was born and raised in a part of rural Georgia that she says “felt like the Wild West.” She got her start performing in the Baptist church choir, where she played piano and got her first guitar. Later, she joined her father, the acclaimed musician Jim White, onstage in dive bars. After dropping out of high school, she moved from Atlanta to Los Angeles to New York. She even lived in her car for a while, but eventually her songwriting skills helped land her a record deal—and a shot at a better life. In 2024, Willow released her debut EP, Stranger, and followed it the next year with her first full-length album, Southern Belle Raisin' Hell. Now she's back with her sophomore album, Pink Pocket Pistol. Sid talks to Willow about the story behind the mugshot on the cover of her debut album, her song about Dolly Parton, and how a blackberry honey cobbler made from her grandmother's recipe helped make a lasting first impression at Atlantic Records.

Today, I sit down with Highland Park mayoral candidate and Avalon Village founder Shamayim "Mama Shu" Harris.  We dig into how she's turned one of the city's most notorious blocks into a grassroots hub with streetlights, a homework house, basketball courts, and shipping-container retail. We also talk about what that experience taught her about transforming blight into beauty, rebuilding housing and neighborhood businesses, and why she believes Highland Park can stand strong as its own city.

In this epic interview, Emilio Ortiz brings together Ismael Perez and Sarah Breskman Cosme for one of their deepest spiritual podcasts yet. Together they explore consciousness, humanity's awakening, ancient pyramids, hidden history, the idea of parallel timelines, near-death cosmic scenarios, the possibility of future contact with non-human intelligences, and why both believe we are living through an extraordinary period of transformation. Throughout the discussion, Sarah shares insights emerging from thousands of hypnosis sessions, while Ismael connects those experiences to his broader framework of galactic history, ancient civilizations, and the future of Earth's evolution.✦ Join Emilio's Private Community – The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-dive/The conversation also dives into some of today's most debated topics—including CERN, the Mandela Effect, timeline shifts, the reactivation of ancient pyramid networks, disclosure, solar events, and the possibility that humanity is approaching a pivotal chapter unlike anything in recorded history. Whether you're deeply immersed in these subjects or simply curious about the biggest questions surrounding consciousness, reality, and our collective future, this episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of ideas that challenge conventional perspectives while inviting viewers to decide for themselves what resonates.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS0:00 — Ismael Perez Intro1:18 - What Has Us Most Excited About Humanity Right Now?2:33 - The Great Awakening & Reaching Critical Mass4:57 - Are ETs Future Versions of Ourselves?7:53 - What Humanity Is Really Awakening To12:58 - The Secret Reactivation of Earth's Pyramid Network19:58 - Healing Ourselves Mirrors the Planet's Ascension23:44 - The Return of Avalon, Dragons & Higher Realms28:01 - Who Really Built the Pyramids?33:49 - Every Human Being Is a Stargate38:16 - The Solar Flash: What Could Actually Happen?42:07 - Why We Chose to Be Alive During This Timeline45:02 - Were Catastrophic Timelines Already Prevented?48:41 - Is Humanity Entering Full Disclosure?52:47 - Why Fear-Based Systems Are Losing Their Power55:39 - Humanity's Preparation for Open Contact57:11 - What Is the Sacred Timeline?59:28 - Sarah & Ismael Ask Each Other Anything1:01:36 - Ismael's Daily Practices for Higher Consciousness1:02:30 - Sarah's Memories of Atlantis & Her Soul's Mission1:04:04 - The One Message That Keeps Returning___________________Guest: Ismael Perez, Intuitive & Galactic Historian✦ Website | https://www.ourcosmicorigin.com/✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/the_real_ismael_perez/✦ Courses | https://www.ourcosmicorigin.com/book-onlineGuest: Sarah Breskman Cosme, QHHT Master Hypnotist✦ Website | https://www.theholistichypnotist.com/✦ Books & Online Classes | https://www.theholistichypnotist.com/store✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/sarahbreskmancosmeHost: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtizSpecial Offerings to Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal

Today, Leslie invites Melissa Green, a former member of the beloved Christian music group Avalon, for a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation about faith deconstruction, spiritual evolution, and the courage to question inherited beliefs. Melissa traces her journey from growing up in the Southern Baptist church and becoming a member of Avalon, through the pivotal moment when founding member Michael Passons was quietly removed from the group after being outed as gay, to her gradual theological shifts sparked by travel, loss, relationships with LGBTQ friends, and her years at a progressive post-evangelical church. The episode also celebrates the recent re-release of "Testify to Love" — a collaboration between Melissa, Michael, and Ty Herndon — which has unexpectedly become a queer anthem and a message of radical, boundless love. Woven throughout is a tender, raw moment as Melissa shares the grief of walking alongside a beloved family member through the final stages of a terminal illness, reflecting on how joy and sorrow coexist, and how the divine shows up not in miraculous intervention but in the simple, profound act of people showing up for one another.

In this episode of A Lost Plot, Avalon, Andrew, and Maverick discuss the recent release of the film Disclosure Day. This conversation delves into the complexities of character motivations and development in Disclosure Day, a film centered around alien interactions. The hosts analyze the intertwined motivations of the protagonists, Daniel and Margaret, and critique the depth of their character arcs. They discuss the role of the villain, Scanlon, and the film's portrayal of chaos in the world, questioning the assumptions made about the aliens' intentions. The conversation concludes with reflections on the film's narrative structure and the emotional journeys of the characters. The conversation culminates in reflections on the film's lasting impact and the overall effectiveness of its execution, with a consensus that while there are interesting ideas, the film ultimately falls short in its delivery.----------Highlights:0:00 ‘Disclosure Day' Introduction6:59 The Protagonists: Daniel and Margaret25:50 Arguing Over How To Critique Characters38:19 The Villains46:59 Themes & Messages57:12 Lasting Impact#disclosureday #stevenspielberg #aliens #alienmovie #alostplot 

When Mr Tech is in town, it's time to dust off some computer game adaptations. Unfortunately, we are fast running out of game adaptations that we're all collectively willing to watch, so this week we're instead exploring a couple of films in which characters are transported into a game. We start off with the film that pioneered this sort of cinema concept, Tron (1982), directed by Steve Lisberger, and follow that up with Mamoru Oshii's non-anime, Eastern European crossover, Avalon (2001). We don't call out a Spoiler Territory for Tron because it just didn't seem necessary but we do include one for Avalon. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 2:38:12 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch? You can reach us on caliber9fromouterspace@gmail.com Theme music: "The Cold Light of Day" by HKM. Check out HKM on #SoundCloud or Bandcamp "Veridis Quo" by Daft Punk

We also dive into pregnancy, navigating a changing body, confidence, social media pressures, and the conversations many women don't hear enough about.Together, we explore the identity shifts that come with motherhood, how relationships and friendships evolve, the challenges and rewards of being a stay-at-home mum, and what finding purpose looks like in this season of life.Whether you're a mum, hoping to become one someday, or simply curious about the realities behind motherhood, this episode is full of honest reflections, reassurance, and wisdom from someone living it every day.2026 Notion templateRaw Reality https://rawreality.com.au/**https://rawreality.com.au/products/life-upgrade-system-notion-template**Between Us Connection Cards https://rawreality.com.au/products/between-us-cards?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=webFind us below:@rawreallity https://www.instagram.com/rawreallity?igsh=cjZlMzZsM2lva3hw@ttorisstory https://www.instagram.com/ttorisstory/@fitwithlilyy https://www.instagram.com/fitwithlilyy/Community Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/share/v3sbEonnywyvp1h7/

Hillman, Michigan, began as Brush Creek, a small settlement shaped by timber, water, farm trade and the Thunder Bay River. In this episode of Michigan Moments, we follow Hillman from its early days as a Montmorency County center to its years as a railroad stop, hotel town, farm market and Lake Avalon resort community.The story includes State Street, Louis Davidson's Department Store, the Winona Hotel, the Hillman depot, local elevators, Cronk's service station, early automobiles, hunting clubs and the cottage culture that grew around Brush Lake, later known as Lake Avalon.One of Hillman's most surprising turns came when the Detroit & Mackinac Railway reached the village after the old pine boom had already faded in much of the region. The train gave Hillman a boost, but the town's future came from something broader: farms, stores, roads, lake visitors and a main street that kept coming back after fire and change.This episode is for listeners interested in Hillman history, Montmorency County, Northern Lower Michigan, vintage Michigan towns, logging-era communities, small-town railroads and early Michigan resort life.The End of the Road in Michigan is a production of Thumbwind Publications

Description:If you grew up on Christian music in the '90s, there's a good chance Testify to Love wasn't just a hit song—it was the soundtrack to a season of your life. Three decades after Avalon first released the iconic anthem, Jen sits down with original Avalon member Michael Passons, longtime Avalon vocalist Melissa Greene, and country music star Ty Herndon to talk about the remarkable re-release of a song that has found new meaning for a new generation. But this isn't simply a conversation about music. It's the untold story behind one of CCM's most beloved songs. Michael shares the painful reality of losing his place in Avalon after coming out as gay. Melissa reflects on the faith journey that transformed her understanding of inclusion and belonging. Ty opens up about his own path through addiction, recovery, faith, and finally living fully and truthfully as himself. Together, they revisit the song that connected millions of listeners and explore why its message of love, acceptance, and human dignity feels more relevant now than ever. Filled with laughter, tears, hard-earned wisdom, and more than a few moments that will leave you reaching for the tissues, this conversation is a beautiful testament to friendship, healing, and the courage it takes to live loud. Whether Testify to Love has been on your playlist for thirty years or you're hearing its story for the first time, this episode is a powerful reminder that love's truest testimony is not who it excludes—but who it embraces. Thought-provoking Quotes: “I lost my community, my family, my career, all within a couple of seconds. That's a lot to process.” - Michael Passons "The people I loved and the fullness of their humanity butted up against my theological positions. I had to ask myself: Do I keep creating fences and becoming more exclusive? Or could it be that my views of God, humanity, and the world need to change?" – Melissa Greene "What I've noticed in the lives of people who have allowed themselves to evolve and change their mind is that that process pulls us toward an expansiveness that is just magical." - Jen Hatmaker “You don't live in the church, the church lives in you. You have an opportunity right now to start your own church and decide who sits at your table. No one can kick you out of your own church.” - Ty Herndon Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Avalon - https://www.avalonthegroup.com/ Carman - https://carman.org/ Stephen Curtis Chapman - https://store.stevencurtischapman.com/ Kirk Franklin - https://kirkfranklin.com/ Michael's Instagram Reel - https://www.instagram.com/reels/DY6_JF6BDyO/ Dottie Rambo - https://www.dottierambo.net/ Testify to Love - https://music.apple.com/us/song/testify-to-love-feat-melissa-greene/1893435396 Testify to Love video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l7IPvr6b8s Melissa's Links: Website - https://www.melissagreene.net Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/melissagreene Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/melissagreeneofficial/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWQpP8gHH7vew99LcQJs3Og Substack - https://melissagreene.substack.com/p/testify-to-love Michael's Links: Website - https://michaelpassons.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/michaelpassons/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/michaelpassonsmusic Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@michaelpassonsmusic TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelpassonsmusic Ty's Links: Website - https://www.tyherndon.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tyherndonofficial/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tyherndonofficial Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialTyHerndon TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@tyherndonofficial Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

Ep 56 - Ryan Kralik performs a Remote Viewing Session and discusses Emergence of Consciousness, Alien Minds, UFOs, and more.Welcome to The Paranormal Rundown!For this episode, Ryan Kralik joins us once again to discuss more paranormal concepts through the lens of his Information-First framework of consciousness and reality. This episode also features a real-world remote viewing session, where Ryan attempts to describe a target selected by the hosts—with some unexpectedly interesting results. Not only is Ryan now a published author, but he is also now the managing editor of Aperture Magazine! And no, not the one about photography...This is also our very first video episode, so be sure to let us know what you think of the new format!This marks Ryan's third appearance on the show. Ironically, the second appearance may have been one of the best conversations we've ever recorded... except for one small problem: somebody forgot to hit the record button. But not to worry, Avalon has been punishing the guilty party mercilessly ever since.Ryan's take was a bit different. He suggested that perhaps the Substrate itself had intervened, feeling that his performance that evening was sub-par because he was extremely tired. Personally, I never noticed any lack of energy, and the Gang of Nerds unanimously agreed that it was a fantastic discussion. But apparently the Substrate disagreed...If you ever wanted to see what Remote Viewing was really like, this episode is for you. Ryan asked that we pick a simple target, put some pictures in an envelope, and he would do his best. Of course I ignored all those instructions, and made it overly complex! But the results are really interesting, I think the complexity actually gave us the opportunity to flesh out how this process really works. Additionally, we discuss alien minds and how we would communicate with them, which naturally led into a brief discussion on AI. We also talk about Emergent Consciousness, UFOs being similar to meditation pods, and the Visions of Prophets, all viewed within the context of an Information-First view of Consciousness and Reality. Enjoy!Be sure to check out Ryan's book, It From Us: An Information-First Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness at https://a.co/d/03NOCbPhYou can find Ryan's contact information, articles, and latest blog posts at https://www.itfromus.com/You can also join his Substack at https://ryankralik.substack.com/Aperture Magazine: https://www.irva.org/apertureWe have one more episode planned for this season, another wonderful discussion with the lively Sylvia Shults, then we break for the summer.

Painter George, aka George Harry Crampton-Glassanos, is fine if you wanna call him just "George." In this episode, meet and get to know George. Both of his parents came to San Francisco early in their lives. His mom hails from the East Coast and her family were all working-class folks. His grandpa was a business agent for a machinist's union in Massachusetts. That grandfather shaped George's later involvement in organized labor. (Today, he's a member of the ILWU). George never knew this grandparent who had an outsize impression on him. He died shortly after George was born. But in Massachusetts, in addition to his union involvement, he owned a store that sold records on one half and hats on the other. His dad moved to San Francisco from the Midwest to attend school at the Art Institute (RIP). He got into that school and often slept overnight on a ledge on campus. Both of George's parents were punk rockers in SF in the late-Seventies. Amazing. His dad even lived with the guitarist from The Avengers (Penelope Houston's punk band). Though they would meet later, both spent time at the famed Mabuhay Gardens back in the day. George's dad was a painter as well, and that turned out to have a huge influence on George. His parents met when his mom got a job with his dad's construction working crew. This was around the mid-Eighties. George came along in 1989. After that, his parents had two more boys, making George the oldest of three. His earliest memories are from around the mid-Nineties in The Mission. George spent time when he was a kid running around The Mission and pre-gentrification Dogpatch with his dad. They lived on 18th between San Carlos and Lexington (or, zooming out a bit, between Mission and Valencia). That's two blocks from where I lived from 2003 to 2017, incidentally. But George's family got evicted from that apartment on 18th. The building sold and the new owners evicted tenants one by one, including families like George's. Both of his brothers were born in that apartment. His dad had made modifications there, handyman that he was. And George was old enough to remember all the awesome neighbors they had. I ask George about his favorite restaurants when he was a kid. "I fuckin' ate burritos every night of the week," he answers. He'd hit up nearby La Cumbre or El Buen Sabor around 300 times a year. Whiz Burger also figured big in George's childhood diet. There was a diner across 16th from The Roxie called Aunt Mary's (George shows me a coin purse from the place while we're recording) that he loved as well. Art was always encouraged at home. George's dad would bring home boxes of fax paper for him to draw on with ballpoint pens. He'd draw and draw and draw, often of things he saw. He remembers staring out the window of their place on 18th and watching cars go by, and he'd draw those. But it wasn't until high school at School of the Arts that George really started cranking it out. At SOTA, teachers encouraged George to draw whatever the hell he wanted to. He remembers drawing a skeleton pushing a paleta cart. When George tells me he attended SOTA 2004–2008, I mention that a number of past guests of this show went there around that time. "[The school] churned out a lot of us," he says. Joe Talbot, who co-wrote, produced, and directed The Last Black Man in San Francisco, went to SOTA in that era. George goes on a sidebar to share a story of getting caught smoking pot by a SOTA vice principal. I ask him to rattle off the SF schools he went to, and George obliges. Waldorf in The Mission for Kindergarten, then a Waldorf school in Pac Heights through eighth grade. They wanted him to attend their high school, but he chose SOTA instead. The Waldorf schools also encouraged art, which George appreciated. The social dynamics could be strange, though. You'd have kids like him who got into that school thanks to financial aid being classmates with kids who lived in mansions. After eighth grade, he needed a change. After he graduated from School of the Arts, George took some classes at City College. He'd been working summers painting houses for his dad, and eventually, college tailed off so he could work more. It also gave George more time for his artistic painting. This was about 20 years ago, and since then, he's been painting murals, hanging out with graffiti painters, doing work on Clarion Alley, and working with Precita Eyes to paint various houses and walls in The Mission. I ask whether George's art has evolved over the years. After thinking it over, he talks about the influence of cars and his mom and dad's comic book collections. He loved his mom's underground comics collections, and talks about going down to 23rd Street with them to Scott's Comics and Cards and SF Comic Book Co. next door. George points to artists like Spain Rodriguez, R. Crumb, and the Hernandez Brothers as having shaped his art from a young age. He'd go to Avalon on Mission for iron-on old English letters to have put on hats. The cholo influence of his neighborhood was seeping in, and George ran with it. The gumball machines on Mission with their foil stickers also played a part. He'd take those stickers home, many with images of cars on them, and draw from them. And of course the cars cruising Mission Street caught his artistic eye. George also touches on some of the violence he witnessed in The Mission in the Nineties, when he was a kid. George and his friends got around on skateboards, beater bikes, and Muni. He's quick to point out how, back in the day, you could take the 26-Valencia if you wanted to avoid potential trouble on the 14-Mission. I ask whether George got into any trouble himself. He says mostly harmless stuff like shoplifting. That was before his aforementioned time at School of the Arts. George has mixed feelings about the art scene, and I get it. He's had his art in shows, but prefers bookstores or community-oriented spaces vs. white-walled galleries. He doesn't feel like the audience that goes to those spaces is his. When he talks about painting at home after a long day at work, I ask George to talk about that work. He's currently part of a crew painting the new container cranes in the Port of Oakland. The ILWU is assembling the cranes and George and others use marine enamels to make the cranes look good. We end the podcast with how you can find George and his art. "You can find me on 24th Street," he says. No website. He's on Instagram at @paintergeorge415. We recorded this podcast at George's home in South San Francisco in April 2026.

Season 5: Episode 32Michael Passons, formerly of the iconic Christian group Avalon, joins me to tell the story behind the voice so many of us grew up hearing. In this episode, Michael shares how he got into Avalon, what it was like to be kicked out after being honest about being gay and the long road toward reclaiming his story. We talk about the cost of belonging in Christian music, the grief of being erased and the courage it takes to come back in your own name. Michael also opens up about publicly coming out and releasing a new version of Avalon's biggest song, “Testify to Love.” This is a conversation about faith, exile, survival, and what it means to finally sing the truth.Michael Passons⁠⁠⁠⁠Everything Numa⁠

A Greek artisan is commissioned by St. Luke and Joseph of Arimathea to make the Holy Grail, while fending off the the evil Simon Magus and the Emperor Nero. It's a very uneven film, sometimes boring, sometimes visually fascinating, and at least Jack Palance seems to be having fun. These days, it's best known as the movie Paul Newman apologized for making--which is a heck of a thing when it's your debut film. Starring Paul Newman, Jack Palance, Virginia Mayo, Pier Angeli, and Lorne Greene. Written by Lesser Samuels. Directed by Victor Saville.

Can woke leave anything alone? Allie reacts to former members of the Christian music group Avalon re-releasing “Testify to Love” and proclaiming it was an LGBTQ anthem all along. She explores the rise of AI through a biblical lens, asking whether tools like ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude represent exciting new technology or something far more spiritually dangerous. She breaks down what AI actually is (and isn't), warns against treating it as conscious or godlike, and offers clear biblical guidance on practical, moral, and spiritual pitfalls — from AI-generated sermons and worship music to digital idolatry, porn, and outsourcing our relationships and creativity. Finally, Allie unpacks Rededicate 250 and explains why being both proudly American and God-fearing is not Christian nationalism. Share the Arrows 2026 is on October 10 in Dallas, Texas!

We're Listen Like Fans podcast is back with Season 2, whoohoooo.... And in this week's episode, we're delighted to have on the Listen Like Fans podcast the extremely versatile and talented 'MiG' Ayesa - or to give him his full name, Miguel Alfonso Ramon Legarda Ayesa. As many INXS fans will remember, MiG was a contestant on RockStar INXS. Mig was one of the final three contestants and became a frontrunner with versions of "Live and Let Die" and "Baby, I Love Your Way".  MiG joins Bee from a cruise ship in a wide-ranging career interview to discuss all things performing on TV, studio and stage - including singing in multiple languages such as Japanese! In the twenty years since RockStar INXS ended, Mig has enjoyed a successful music career, releasing solo albums, working in theatre and appearing in television and film.  On the podcast today, MiG talks about his break into theatre in London's West End and meeting the surviving members of rock band Queen for his lead stint in We Will Rock You. All this would change, however, when Mig decided to try his luck auditioning for a new reality TV programme... Auditioning at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London to the INXS classic 'I Send a Message', a certain Mr Pengilly would be in the audience watching. This led to a second audition and then making the final 50 cut to perform in Los Angeles.  MiG recounts the laborious process of filming for each round of the RockStar INXS audition and eventually making it into the last 15. During his time with RockStar INXS, 'Baby, I Love Your Way', the Peter Frampton classic, became one of the standout performances of the entire series. MiG takes us behind the scenes and explains how the songs were chosen and how he came up with the arrangement to make the song his own.  In something of a fortuitous twist of fate, this would lead to Peter Frampton playing acoustic guitar on MiG's debut album. Talking about his debut solo album, MiG gives the inside on how Mötley Crüe's Tommy Lee was responsible for MiG's debut album being shelved by the record label for two years!  Finally, MiG talks reuniting with the original RockStar INXS house band and many of the contestants for the upcoming anniversary shows at the Avalon in Hollywood. With more than 25 years in the industry, MiG has had a varied and interesting career, and the signs are that there are plenty more twists and turns to come. We hope you enjoy listening to the very entertaining MiG and feel inspired to check out his back catalogue. Links below.   Until next time, keep listening like fans!

STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, FEATURING JEFF BLISS AND GERMANICUS (MICHAEL VLAHOS). 4-17-202681 BCE SULLAJeff Bliss and John Batchelor discuss the vibrant developments in Las Vegas, where the President of the United Statesrecently arrived on Air Force One to promote a "no tax on tips" policy. The city is diversifying, becoming a sports mecca with Formula 1, World Wrestling at Allegiant Stadium, and a potential NBA franchise. Bliss recalls the legacy of the Rat Pack, Elvis, and Sinatra, while noting new landmarks like the Museum of Ice Cream in Area 15. Additionally, a massive In-N-Out burger restaurant is being built on the Strip, and the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is adding rare balcony suites. Batchelor even jokes about a future Museum of Potato Chips featuring Lays.In California politics, the race to succeed Governor Gavin Newsom is intensifying under the Jungle Primary system. Newsom reportedly spent 1.5 million dollars to purchase 67,000 copies of his own book. Current candidates include Steve Hilton, a former Fox contributor; Tommy Steyer, a multi-billionaire; and UC Irvine professor Katie Porter. In Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass faces a tight race against Spencer Pratt. Batchelor mentions an interview between Bass and Jim Acosta on CNN, where she appeared defensive regarding homeless encampments in Venice and Hollywood.Other local issues involve the California Coastal Commission canceling Long Beach fireworks. On Catalina Island, once a secret CIA training ground, Batchelor recalls the Four Freshmen singing about the sea while discussing a police canine apprehending a suspect in Avalon. Bliss recounts his own experience being bitten by a German Shepherd when analyzing the intensity of such arrests. Additionally, a massive Animal Crossing bridge is under construction across a Southern California freeway to protect wildlife like buffalo.Globally, Germanicus warns of the "consolidation" of wars. Russia is reportedly upset by Ukrainian drone attacks launched from the Baltic states and Finland. Germanicus explains that 96% of Russian casualties are now caused by drones produced in Europe, Israel, and Turkey. Germanicus also highlights that leaders like Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer are meeting to address the crisis at the Strait of Hormuz. Despite a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, there remains a risk of "spasmodic responses" involving Russia's hypersonic Oreshnik missiles. John Batchelor concludes the session by noting that there is no certainty anywhere in the world except for their conversation. This dialogue captures the intersection of local entertainment, state politics, and global military strategy during a volatile and high-stakes historical period in history.
