Strap in, folks—this one's a wild ride. Billy Hayes, the man behind Midnight Express, is in the guest chair today with one Boom after another

Billy Hayes and the Midnight ExpressDecember 5For Billy Hayes, 1970 was a horrifying year. It was the year when he tried to smuggle 4lbs of hashish from Istanbul back to his home in America. It was the year when he was arrested at Istanbul airport, tried, and sentenced to 30 years in a Turkish jail. For five years he suffered the filth, brutality and degradation of imprisonment in an environment of hellish squalor, while his family fought in vain to secure his release. Finally in desperation, he made a daring escape bid and incredibly the bid succeeded. This is the astounding true story, told in Billy Hayes's own words, of those five years of living hell and of the harrowing ordeal of his time on the run. Vivid and realistic without being morbid, it is a classic story of survival and human endurance, told with humour, intelligence and total honesty.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

On today's episode I'm joined by writer, author, podcaster, amateur mountaineer, cycling enthusiast and food culture chronicler, Derek Beres.Derek is the co-author of Conspirituality: How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat, and the co-host of the Conspirituality Podcast. Derek and his colleagues began exploring the topic of the rise of conspiracy theories being propagated in the yoga and wellness communities right around the time that the COVID-19 pandemic began to take hold around the world. And their work serves as a cautionary tale for those who may be seeking support in communities and alternative health modalities that may not always be what they seem.Derek's experience as a long time yoga instructor and his colleagues' survival of different cult communities give them a unique insider perspective on how the anti-vax movement and QAnon were able to build a groundswell of momentum and support within the alternative health and wellness world. And they shine a light on some of the main personalities pushing confusing or downright false information out to a vulnerable population.Personally, I became interested in their work due to my own desire to expand my knowledge of the subject matter and to hold myself to a high standard of integrity and intellectual rigor in my own work related to transformational embodiment and leadership coaching. I also just really love feeling like I'm sitting in on an advanced behavioral psychology class when I read or listen to these guys.So I really hope you enjoy this conversation with Derek, let's get into it!About Derek Beres:Derek is a multi-faceted author, speaker, and media expert based in Portland, Oregon.

On today's episode I'm joined by a man who has discovered his true purpose in life by facing the trauma he experienced as a child head-on. It's true that the greatest gifts we have to offer the world are often hidden behind a veil of the mental, emotional and psychological pain we carry throughout our lives. Often this pain originates in our youngest years and causes us to adopt behaviors and make choices that are way out of alignment with our true nature.Sadly, Jake Kauffman's story is all too familiar as so many of us carry the weight of emotional neglect and physical or sexual abuse around and we develop stories and beliefs about ourselves in order to ensure that we never have to experience that again. These stories and beliefs serve to cut us off from our hearts, our friends and families, the world and often lead to feelings of isolation, anger, depression and much more.In his new book, Let Love In: The Pain Stops When The Truth Starts, Jake recounts the details of his incredibly painful childhood ordeal and how he chose to confront that experience in order to heal and offer himself deep love and compassion - the net result of which is him being able to trust and receive the love of others. What you'll learn through this conversation is that when you make a conscious choice to work with your pain and trauma, the healing process is not only liberating but can provide a catalyst for creating a life beyond your wildest dreams.As heartbreaking as Jake's story is, it's also powerfully inspiring. It's one that I know will resonate with many of you.So enjoy my conversation with Jake Kauffman, let's get into it.About Jacob Kauffman:Jake Kauffman is an International Spiritual Mentor & Life Coach to purpose driven, visionary men & entrepreneurs who are seeking to grow in their life & leadership.He has supported hundreds of men to thrive and reach the next-level in all areas of life, business & relationship.His mission is to help men radically heal & transform so that they can achieve their full potential & fulfill their purpose.You can find Jake on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/iamjakekauffman/.

On today's episode we get into the complexity of what it means to be a leader - especially when faced with difficult challenges that require deep reflection, realignment and commitment to purpose.Ryan Michler is a man who knows this all too well. Ryan is a combat veteran of the Iraq War, a father to 4 beautiful children and the founder of Order of Man and the Iron Council. He's also the author of Sovereignty: The Battle For The Hearts And Minds Of Men and more recently, The Masculinity Manifesto: How A Man Establishes Influence, Credibility & Authority. Ryan has literally built his career and reputation on leading men toward lives of integrity and purpose, and yet, he is most certainly human.This conversation takes place at a time in his life when he's navigating some really difficult and painful personal experiences that have, in a lot of ways, challenged how he's shown up in the world. Those experiences have afforded him the opportunity to reflect on ways he can shore up his own vulnerabilities in life and to continue to learn and improve as a father, community member and leader.About Ryan:Ryan Michler is a father, Iraq Combat Veteran, and the founder of Order of Man. Ryan was raised without a permanent father figure and has seen first-hand how a lack of strong, ambitious, self-sufficient men has negatively impacted society. He believes many of the world's most complicated and challenging problems could be resolved if men dedicated themselves to becoming more capable husbands, fathers, businessmen, and community leaders.It has now become his life's mission to help men across the planet step more fully into their roles as protectors, providers, and presiders over themselves, their families, their businesses, and their communities. His podcast, Order of Man, has been downloaded over 20,000,000 times, he has a social media presence of over 500,000 men, and thousands of men have successfully completed his online and live workshops, courses, and events.

In a study published by science journal “Nature” in September, seismologists at the University of Tokyo found that large quakes such as those that hit Chile and east Japan occurred near the time of maximum tidal strain, during new and full moons, when the sun, moon and Earth align. They said the fraction of high-magnitude earthquakes goes up globally as tidal stresses rise.However, it is difficult to say that quakes are caused by other forces such as the gravity of the moon.In the meantime, something else happened that I thought was noteworthy as people were looking up in the sky and were seeing strange objects crossing in front of the moon. Of course, the press was quick to call them UFO's, indicating that people were seeing aircraft piloted by aliens. However, what they were seeing were not alien aircraft because many people were seeing unidentified objects that looked like secret space war platforms.Originally Broadcast On 11/29/2016

Billy Hayes : Midnight Express FIRST he wrote the best-selling book. THEN came the Oscar ® winning movie. NOW, following its critically acclaimed Off-Broadway run at the Barrow Street Theatre, and sold out engagements in Edinburgh and London, Billy Hayes is taking his riveting one-man show on tour. In this “engrossing,” “spellbinding” performance, Billy recounts the true story of his time in Turkish prisons and his brazen, harrowing escape. It's an epic journey of self-discovery, a cautionary, yet uplifting tale of desperation, determination and personal transformation. Hayes was arrested at the Istanbul airport in 1970 with two kilos of hashish taped to his body. The Turkish High Court sentenced him to life in prison. Five years later, Billy escaped from Imrali Island prison in the dead of night – rowing 17 miles across the Sea of Marmara in a raging storm. On his return to the US, Hayes wrote Midnight Express. Published in 18 languages, the book was an instant best-seller. When the iconic film was released in 1978, Billy Hayes became a mythical figure – a modern-day Billy The Kid. 36 years later, he remains a cultural anti-hero known throughout the world. If you've seen the movie, you might think you know Billy's story. But you probably don't. Midnight Express didn't win any Oscars® for factual accuracy. While the film was about prison – a chilling exploration of the depths of incarceration in a foreign land – Riding the Midnight Express with Billy Hayes is about the prisoner. It's an intimate, gripping memoir that can only be told by the man who lived it.

Published in 18 languages, the book was an instant best-seller. When the iconic film was released in 1978, Billy Hayes became a mythical figure – a modern-day Billy The Kid. 36 years later, he remains a cultural anti-hero known throughout the world. If you've seen the movie, you might think you know Billy's story. But you probably don't. Midnight Express didn't win any Oscars® for factual accuracy. While the film was about prison – a chilling exploration of the depths of incarceration in a foreign land – Riding the Midnight Express with Billy Hayes is about the prisoner. It's an intimate, gripping memoir that can only be told by the man who lived it.

Traveling without insurance is a gamble. Nobody knows that better than my friend Dick Atkins, owner of Dick Atkins, Esq. an attorney from Philadelphia who specializes in assisting companies and individuals on legal issues in foreign countries. He is an owner of International Recoveries, LLC and lectures at travel insurance conventions. He is on the Board of Directors for the United States Travel Insurance Association. Atkins has literally been bailing out North Americans and North American Corporations abroad since over 30 Years. He also represents foreign nationals on U.S. soil. U.S. Embassies, U.S. Insurance and other large corporate entities. For those who remember the movie "Midnight Express" and how Billy Hayes, a young American got caught trying to smuggle 4 1/2 pounds of hashish out of Turkey in 1970. Thrown into a hellhole of a Turkish prison, he's tortured by sadistic guards, betrayed by corrupt lawyers and toyed with by capricious judges before he finally escapes. This movie is based on a real story. Each year, on average, 1,000 Americans are arrested in foreign countries on drug charges. While many are quickly released, roughly 1, 600 are currently rotting away in foreign prisons, often in conditions similar to those endured by Hayes. Prison conditions in much of the world are pretty horrible, acknowledged Dick Atkins, and the criminal justice systems in a lot of countries are just as bizarre as the one in the movie. It's important to remember that when you travel abroad, your rights as an American citizen don't come with you."

Billy Hayes is a writer, actor, & film director. He is best known as the author of Midnight Express. Since that book was published, he has written Riding the Midnight Express, the Midnight Express Letters, & Midnight Return. He currently performs a one man show about his life. A little background: The film Midnight Express was written by Oliver Stone. It won a ton of awards including 2 Oscars. A bit of fun… after the initial success of the movie Billy drove band equipment. He's worked for Heart, Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, Sum41, Bare Naked Ladies, Train, & Good Charlotte. My second guest is Brian Anderson. He is a front of house engineer and tour manager. He has worked for KISS, Julio Iglesias Jr., Blues Traveler, Hoobastank, Harry Shearer, Natasha Bedingfield, & the Heavy. He is also the CEO of Band Production Services. Not so much fun in my experience Brian has quite simply moved more band crap than anyone I've ever met.

Do you like movies about gladiators? You ever seen a grown man naked? Have you ever been in a Turkish prison? No, not Airplane... Billy Hayes' autobiographical* Midnight Express proves one should "never let the truth get in the way of a good story." Oliver Stone's award-winning screenwriting debut destroyed Turkish tourism; is it still worth it?

"Wavves" is an American rock band based in San Diego, headed by lead songwriter and front man Nathan Williams.The descriptor "band" may be one way to describe this outfit, but "project" may be more fitting, since the whole Wavves sound is created and spearheaded by lead frontman Nathan Williams, who is joined live on tour with various musicians.Nathan has had a turbulent history, battling drug addiction and his own internal demons, but none the less he has continued to forge ahead writing and releasing albums through "Wavves" that truly resonate with his fans.To listen to the full episode, including the featured music, visit... signlradio.com"Roots to Grooves" is a production of SIGNL.https://www.signlradio.comhttps://www.instagram.com/signlradiohttps://www.twitter.com/signlradiohttps://www.facebook.com/signlradiohttps://www.mixcloud.com/signlhttps://open.spotify.com/user/96mhz6qfjoztxbl2dpm0uj903?si=aAZpsoEnRAKdx85kr1QWhg

The signature part of a classic Elvis song was just supposed to be a joke. It’s time to go Behind the Christmas Hits: Blue Christmas. Blue Christmas is NOT an Elvis original. The lyrics were written by Jay Johnson, who was working on a Christmas music radio show in the late 1940’s. Billy Hayes wrote the melody and it was first recorded by country singer, TV host and actor Doye O’Dell in 1948. Several other versions were recorded over the next few years, including one by Ernest Tubb that went to #1 in 1950. But you almost NEVER hear any of these any more…and that’s because of Elvis. Millie Kirkham was one of the back-up singers for the recording session with Elvis – she sings the “wooo-wee-wooo” part of the song. In an interview with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in 2012, Millie said Elvis never wanted to record Blue Christmas. When producers told him it was on the schedule and he had to do it, Elvis turned to the musicians and said “let’s get this over with – just do anything, do something silly.” And that’s when Millie started to go “wooo-wee-wooo” and did it throughout the entire song. At the end of the recording session, they all laughed. Elvis recorded Blue Christmas in 1957 to be included on the simply titled “Elvis’ Christmas Album.” Fans loved it, but it wasn’t available as a single for another 7 years. When the single was released in December 1964, it went to #1 on Billboard’s Christmas Singles Chart and would be re-released every year for the rest of Elvis’ career. It was such a big hit, that the songwriters, Johnson & Hayes, estimated they generated more royalties in the first year of Elvis’ version than they had in all of the other versions in nine years combined. The song’s popularity was the reason why Elvis’ manager, Colonel Tom Parker, went to NBC in May of 1968 to pitch a TV special. At the time, there hadn’t been any TV specials focused on a single performer – they always featured multiple artists – so the idea that this would focus on just one was something people hadn’t seen before. Parker’s idea: have Elvis sing nothing but Christmas songs. NBC went for it and the special was on the production schedule for that June. Now…the special didn’t go exactly as Parker pitched it. Director Steve Binder and producer Bones Howe decided the special should tell more of Elvis’ life story through the lyrics of his other songs. But the special was going to air in December and Parker continued to insist that Elvis do a Christmas song…and he did. In fact, he did two: I’ll Be Home for Christmas and Blue Christmas. But I’ll Be Home for Christmas was cut and never aired. Blue Christmas made the cut and the audience loved it. People were shown crying during the performance and even grunting along while Elvis was singing the song. (0:32-0:34 from video) Elvis recorded many different Christmas songs in his career, but his performance of Blue Christmas for his 1968 “comeback” TV special is the only video footage that exists of Elvis singing ANY Christmas song. It recently placed 7th in Rolling Stone’s Reader’s Poll of the Best Christmas Songs of All Time. One final note: Blue Christmas also has special meaning for another legendary artist. It’s the last song Bruce Springsteen ever performed with the Big Man, Clarence Clemons. In December of 2010, to promote The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story, the E Street Band played a set at the historic Carousel House on the boardwalk of Asbury Park, New Jersey. They performed several songs from Darkness but ended the night with a version of Blue Christmas. Clemons died 6 months later without ever playing with Bruce again.
