In this captivating episode, Renee Gracie shares her unique perspective on relationships, highlighting her preference for partners who have their own independent lives and interests outside of her two primary career paths.The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Renee recounts an intriguing story from the world of strip clubs. She introduces us to one of her friends, a stripper working in Sydney, who has a rather unusual regular customer. Every random Tuesday evening, like clockwork, this mysterious client arrives around 5:30 PM, suited up and carrying a briefcase. What ensues is a bizarre routine that involves fast food, model trains, and some rather unconventional entertainment.As Renee vividly describes, this client's peculiar ritual includes providing the stripper with a cheeseburger from McDonald's, setting up an intricate train set, and undressing while lying down over the tracks. The stripper's role in this scenario? To repeatedly drive the train into his nether regions until he reaches his desired conclusion. The process can stretch for hours and has been ongoing for several years, leaving us with more questions than answers.To add to the intrigue, Knuckles chimes in with a story of his own, recounting a visit to a strip club after Magic Round. He regales us with the tale of "the carnivore," a patron known for his unusual practice involving salt, pepper, and his choice of three women. It's a bizarre and unforgettable journey into the world of strip clubs and their eclectic clientele that you won't want to miss.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

Back In 1972 in Toronto, Ontario a small group of people had decided to go ahead with a seance , to try and make contact with a deceased gentleman named" Philip Aylesford .Philip was born in 1624 in England, he had a very early military career and at the age of 16 he was knighted,Philip had served in the English civil war and was good friends with the Charles the 2nd and under his rule he become a spy,when he returned home, he would find love with a lady named Dorothea, but unfortunately this love was not to last and quickly turned sour, it wasn't long before Philip found himself another love interest, with a Romani woman, and he tried his best to keep the affair a secret, but eventually his wife would find out, and she plotted a particular cruel revenge plot, that was mainly aimed at Philips love interest.Dorothea accused the woman of being a witch, and she was burned at the stake whilst Philip did nothing to help her and simply let her burn.Overcome with guilt and sadness Phillip took his own life in 1654 at the young age of thirty.That is all the group knew about this gentleman from the 1600s , but it was more than enough they all sat around the table, and placed their fingers upon the table, and proceeded to try and communicate with Phillip and it wasn't long before the group started to feel the presence of a spirit , the way of communication was simple , one rap for yeas and two for no ,as they asked questions about Phillips life, it would seem that Phillip was responding with the right answers, throughout the séance the group experienced wrapping on the table, chills in the air, and strange echoes,and then the table actually tilted onto one leg and moved across the room and eventually ended up upside down it would seem that the group had actually made contact with a spirit who lived and died way back in the 1600s, and as far as the group was concerned the evidence was all there, it was conclusive, they had communicated with the dead there was only one small problem with their experiment, you see the character Phillip Aylesford was a pure fabrication, a fictional character, he never existed.

Wrestlers' Court is a very real collective of talent that meets whenever WWE employees need to hash out differences on the road. Undertaker was usually the judge, though JBL and Triple H have sat in at the helm on many occasions. There were prosecuting attorneys as well as defense attorneys who backed up the accused. Punishments were usually on the lighter side of things (the guilty party generally settling ordeals through gifting bottles of Jack Daniels, cases of beer, or food). However, some unpopular figures backstage have been on the receiving end of much harsher justice in wrestlers' court. Whether it was having words taken the wrong way, sharing matzo ball soup with a script writer's mother, accidentally spilling chicken crumbs on Chris Benoit's bags, or taking the term "diva" a bit too literally, as you'll soon hear, almost everyone had their day in court!

Dr. Eddy Portnoy, academic adviser for the Max Weinreich Center and exhibition curator at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research (www.yivo.org/) presents his Valley Beit Midrash lecture The "The Bizarre Tales of Yiddishland: What the Yiddish Press Reveals about the Jews" before an audience at Congregation Or Tzion (www.congregationortzion.org) in Scottsdale, AZ. ABOUT THIS LECTURE: An underground history of downwardly mobile Jews, Eddy Portnoy’s new book Bad Rabbi and Other Strange but True Stories from the Yiddish Press mines century-old Yiddish newspapers to expose the seamy underbelly of pre-WWII New York and Warsaw, the two major centers of Yiddish culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One part Isaac Bashevis Singer, one part Jerry Springer, this irreverent, unvarnished, and frequently hilarious compendium of stories provides a window into an unknown Yiddish world that was.

The 14 Track album is a sincere blend of Medieval Celtic Rock, unique to the Dolmen spirit. The band purposely composed 'Banquet' as a forerunner to "Nuada" a second album release due for this year (2014) in May. It was decided after they had finished their 2013 Euro Tour, that there were to many songs for Nuada, and more in production, so decided that Nuada should be split and Banquet should introduce an exciting yet bizarre theme of which the band are presently enchanted, hence laying a musical foundation for 2014 the "Nuada, God of the Sun Tour" and the adventure of musical discovery. You can buy Banquet on The Dolmen website. News: The Four-Cornered Castle (Songbook) by Damh the Bard The Four-Cornered Castle (Songbook) "This chord book contains the chords from my last three studio albums, The Cauldron Born, Tales from the Crow Man and Antlered Crown and Standing Stone". As with Songbook 1 there is no musical notation in the book - Damh doesn't read music himself - but the chord shapes and locations within the lyrics will show you more about his writing process, and how to play the songs as he does. He says: "As with my last songbook, I hope you enjoy singing these songs around your camp fires, in your covens and groves, or simply on your own or with friends." Get strumming! Order now on Damh's website. News: Edge of Dreams 2 by Phil Thornton Edge of Dreams 2 Phil Thornton's first album for New World back in 1986, Edge of Dreams, developed from a 5 minute demo at the 'Enid' studio which at that time was based a few miles from Halesworth in Suffolk. The Enid's lead guitarist Stephen Stewart had by that time developed into a brilliant producer, so when New World gave me a budget to record an album for them it was a dream come true. Phil has let us know that he is currently working on a follow-up to this album. Keep your eyes on his website or Facebook page for further news! Good luck Phil! 500 Tub Thumps by Pandora Celtica Faerie Revel Pandora Celtica is a Dark Celtic Faerie a cappella band local to Denver. Their combination of powerful harmonies and tragic subject matter have been thrilling audiences for the last nine years. Whether they're singing ancient tunes or original songs, their style has been described as dark and tribal - something that gets right into your heart and spirit. They are unique and distinctive.

Whether rich or poor, whatever colour, religion or political thinking, we are all residents of this one planet, Mother Earth. The time has come to answer the questions. Do we really want to destroy our home? Do we really want war, hunger or disasters? Do we really want to give our next generations a planet in such a condition that there will not be any hope for survival? Mother Earth is crying. She is shivering in fear of losing all her entrails, as we dig and drill to get hold of what we think is our right towards a better wealth. Mother Earth is crying. Soon she will not have any tears left, and then it will be too late. The time has come to unite and stand together. Please, I ask you, take each other’s hands, lift them high and make a prayer while The World Drum sings her song and we feel her heartbeat. It is the heartbeat of Mother Earth. It is our heartbeat, from each and one all over the world. It is the heartbeat of life itself. Let us join together as one that this heartbeat may continue.

Philip, Joe & Us, pic by Mike My Sons for Evermore by Philip Shallcrass Lord of the Wildwood My Sons for Evermore is a soulful tribute to the love a father carries for his sons, and the feelings that Philip experiences as he contemplates their venturing forth into manhood. "Sitting at home one misty morning, gazing from my window at a grey, cloudy day, it struck me that soon my sons would be making their own ways in the world and I'd be rattling around at home alone much of the time. "The words and tune of this song came into my head all in a rush and this draft version was recorded soon after via a Skype headset plugged into my computer. I'll re-record it 'properly' for my next CD (which will probably be called 'Lord of the Wildwood'), but I kinda like this rough and ready first take. It has a quality that the Welsh call hiraeth, a sort of melancholy yearning after times and things past."

With Welsh and Irish blood, it seems only natural that Beck was going to be drawn to all things Celtic – everything from the Celtic artwork and mythology, Druidic reverence for nature and trees, tales of banshees, wraiths and faeries, to the musical instruments and haunting singing-styles. There is definitely a strong Celtic thread in Beck Siàn’s music – even when singing Australian songs and modern compositions. Related to English singer Kate Bush, it was her influence and artistic inspiration (as well as having a talented artist for a father) that sparked Beck's own desire to dance, sing and create. So we're incredibly proud to be able to bring you this astounding example of her music, with Moss! Be transported along with us into strange and fey realms....

Andrasta (Andraste) was the Romano-Celtic goddess of war. Her name means the "Invincible One". Andrasta was a patron goddess of the Iceni tribe. It was said that Boudicca, the British warrior queen prayed to Andrasta, before going into battle the against her Roman foes. It is believed that the goddess received human sacrifices.
