Most of us have expectations. Expectations about how life should unfold. How other people should behave. How quickly we should heal. What success should look like. Who we should be by now. We often think expectations help us get more out of life. We think they keep us motivated, focused, and moving toward our goals. But what if they're actually doing the opposite? What if our expectations are keeping us stuck, disappointed, resentful, and blind to what's right in front of us? In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the expectations we place on ourselves, the expectations we place on others, and the expectations we place on life itself. We talk about: why expectations so often lead to frustration and disappointment the hidden contracts we create with other people "it was supposed to..." and the stories we tell ourselves how expectations can create resentment in our relationships the pressure we place on ourselves to be further along the difference between having intentions and being attached to outcomes how expectations can prevent us from seeing new possibilities Sometimes the very thing we're clinging to is the thing standing in the way of what wants to emerge. If you've ever found yourself frustrated because life isn't going according to plan, this conversation is for you. Because maybe the problem isn't that life has gone wrong. Maybe your expectations are keeping you from seeing what's possible. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip. Connect. Awaken. Hey! Thanks for listening!

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick and the Dr. Gregory McBrayer discuss Books 9-10 of the Odyssey--the first half of Odysseus telling his own story and covering such famous narratives as the lotus eaters, the cyclops, and Circe. Check out our WRITTEN GUIDE to the Odyssey--great for small groups!Follow us on X, YouTube, Instagram, and more!SummaryBooks 9 and 10 of the Odyssey feature Odysseus revealing his identity to the Phaeacians and recounting his adventures after Troy. The episodes include the raid on Ismarus, the encounter with the Lotus Eaters (whom Odysseus forcibly removes to prevent them from forgetting home), the harrowing trap in Polyphemus the Cyclops's cave (where Odysseus uses the "Nobody" ruse, wine, and an olive-wood stake to blind the giant before taunting him and invoking Poseidon's curse), the visit to Aeolus (whose bag of winds is opened by the crew, blowing them off course), the cannibalistic Laestrygonians (who destroy the fleet except Odysseus's ship), and the stay with the goddess Circe (who transforms his men into pigs, but is countered by Hermes' moly herb, leading to a year of feasting and Odysseus bedding her under divine instruction before she directs him to the underworld).The hosts explore deeper philosophical and moral themes, viewing these stories as Odysseus's moral and theoretical education. They discuss xenia (guest-friendship) and its perversions, the tension between Odysseus's cunning intellect and his men's appetites or spiritedness, leadership failures, and Homer's intentional dialectic presenting human nature. Particular attention is given to Odysseus's curiosity, pride, and evolving understanding of place, home, mortality, and nature (highlighted in the moly scene as a discovery of physis). The conversation frames Circe as a structural pivot, contrasting earlier moral tales with later intellectual ones, and portrays Odysseus as a complex, self-serving yet learning figure whose narrative may blend truth and rhetoric tailored to his audience.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ascend and the Great Books07:42 Professional Updates and New Opportunities09:37 Teaching Homer: Insights and Anecdotes10:58 Homer as a Philosopher: Dialectics in the Text14:08 Odysseus: The Complicated Hero15:47 Odysseus' Journey: Learning and Growth17:54 The Role of Storytelling in the Odyssey23:05 The Importance of Place and Homecoming28:08 Odysseus and His Men: Leadership Dynamics35:47 The Lotus Eaters: Virtue and Temptation40:31 The Nature of Happiness and the Soul's Journey44:04 Odysseus and the Cyclops: A Political Critique54:20 Guest Friendship and Ethical Dilemmas01:05:01 Rhetoric and the Limits of Persuasion01:09:21 Understanding Polyphemus: The Nature of Deception01:11:20 Odysseus's Internal Monologue: The Role of Wisdom01:12:46 The Cyclops's Overconfidence: A Fatal Flaw01:13:49 The Role of Wine: A Tool for Manipulation01:14:58 Guest Friendship: A Perverse Parody01:16:36 The Blinding of Polyphemus: A Turning Point01:17:47 Community Response: The Cyclops's Isolation01:18:41 The Consequences of Pride: Odysseus Reveals His Name01:20:51 The Significance of 'Nobody': Identity and Cunning01:23:24 The Escape Plan: Cleverness in Adversity01:24:05 The Curse of Polyphemus: A Divine Retribution01:26:42 The Cycle of Violence: Guest Friendship Violated01:27:34 The Structure of the Odyssey: Peaks and Valleys01:29:09 The Role of Agency: Human Choices vs. Divine Will01:29:38 The Heartbreak of Aeolus: Trust Broken01:33:56 The Lystra-agonian Encounter: A Leadership Crisis01:36:31 Odysseus's Leadership and Responsibility01:39:50 The Enigmatic Circe: Goddess and Witch01:45:13 Odysseus's Encounter with Circe: A Test of Will01:50:59 The Nature of Eros and Odysseus's Choices01:56:56 The Philosophical Journey: Nature and Mortality02:01:51 The Path to the Underworld: Elpenor's FateKeywordsKey keywords for this episode include Odyssey Book 9, Odyssey Book 10, Odysseus Cyclops, Polyphemus, Circe Odyssey, Homer Odyssey summary, Odysseus adventures, Lotus Eaters, Aeolus bag of winds, Laestrygonians, Odysseus and Circe, Nobody Odysseus, Xenia guest friendship, Homer philosophy, Odysseus leadership, Odysseus moral education, Summary of Odyssey Books 9 and 10, Odysseus vs Polyphemus, Circe turns men into pigs, Philosophical themes in The Odyssey, Homer Odyssey Cyclops episode, Odysseus journey home, Guest friendship in The Odyssey, Ascend Great Books Podcast, Harrison Garlick Odyssey, and Gregory McBrayer Homer.

In a desperate bid to look like we know what we are talking about, we have overhauled the format. This week, Andrew drags a bewildered Dr. Sam through 1980s Liverpool to discuss why a three time Oscar winner spent his youth hiding in a camouflage suit. We are diving deep into: The Scouse Trinity: Exploring the "Crucial Three". Julian Cope's Fear of the Floor: Why he performed on step ladders because he felt the floor was too dangerous. The Mysterious Drum Machine: The story behind the machine they called "Echo". The Big Lie: How they admitted the drum machine story was just a way to mess with journalists. "Caramelised Hair": The era of sugar-styling that attracted swarms of flies and smelled like a burnt bakery. The Cosmic Gateway: The time Bill Drummond decided a manhole cover in Matthew Street was a cosmic gateway to Iceland. It is peak 80s chaos, involving more sugar and camouflage netting than a primary school bake sale in a war zone. Suggested Listening "The Killing Moon": The one Ian McCulloch insists was written by God, though it is actually the intro to Space Oddity played backwards. "The Cutter": The band at the absolute peak of their 80s powers. "People Are Strange": The Joel Schumacher and Lost Boys payday produced by Ray Manzarek of The Doors. "Over the Wall": A masterpiece from their very dark, silhouette-heavy period. "Brussels is Haunted": The sound of the band in 2026, because they are still at it.

Eternally Amy - A Sober Mom of Eight's Journey from Jail to Joy
Have you ever felt dismissed by a doctor who couldn't figure out what was wrong with you? Amy and Dr. Sarah dive deep into the disturbing reality of gender bias in healthcare, sparked by Amy's two-year medical nightmare that ended with 14 contact lenses being removed from her eye. Through their discussion of "Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men" by Caroline Criado Perez, they uncover how the entire medical system has been built around male-centered care, leaving women misdiagnosed, undertreated, and sometimes fighting for their lives. KEY TAKEAWAYSWomen are routinely dismissed in medical settings, with pain often attributed to anxiety or being labeled as "whiny women" in medical chartsMedical research predominantly uses male subjects, then applies those results to women despite significant biological differencesHeart attack symptoms present differently in women but are still diagnosed based on male presentationsThe cost of advocating for yourself in healthcare goes far beyond money — it's about quality of life and sometimes survivalLearning to trust your instincts and speak up for yourself isn't being difficult — it's being responsible for your own healthGender bias extends far beyond medicine into design, engineering, and everyday products that assume a male default NOTABLE QUOTE"The bottom line is being female in a medical setting can mean receiving less accurate diagnosis, less effective treatment, and less attentive care because the entire system has been based on male centered care. This isn't just inconvenient, it's life threatening." — Dr. Sarah Michaud If this conversation reminded you to slow down and breathe, share it with a friend who needs that same permission.

Let's be honest, half of this episode is just us battling the machines.Eric finally figures out why his gigabit internet is crawling (spoiler: mesh networks are liars), and Zac drops some serious cash on a Wi-Fi 7 router only to realize it sounds like last Thanksgivings turkey in the dryer on perma-press. We also dive deep into the current state of AI—from how “tokens” actually work to why chatbots confidently overlook some Apple products and how MacBook Pros that smell like rotten eggs, are to be expected.We help Zac workshop a name for his upcoming console modding course, Eric drops some hard truths on the absolute racket that is email marketing, and Deric tears his living room apart looking for that thumb drive he lost because he refuses to network his editing computers.Deric installed shop lights so bright his cat thinks she's being abducted.Chapter Markers:00:00 - We skip the ads (You're welcome)08:00 - Eric's Mesh Network Betrayal & The 2.4GHz Bottleneck16:40 - Zac's Screaming Wi-Fi 7 Router Modification18:34 - Using AI to Talk You Out of $500 Purchases21:50 - What the Hell are AI "Tokens" Anyway?28:54 - AI Hallucinations: AirPods Pro 3 & Egg-Scented MacBooks36:00 - Workshopping Zac's Console Modding Course Name48:20 - The Extortion Bracket of Email Marketing55:10 - Deric Loses His Mind (And His Thumb Drive)01:02:04 - Blinding the Cat with New Shop Lights01:06:50 - Why Burglars Don't Want Your TV AnymoreGot questions?

Clay Edwards kicks off the show with a question that instantly hits a nerve with every driver: What's the single most annoying feature on today's vehicles — the default setting you didn't ask for, or that overpriced bells-and-whistles upgrade you never use? He leads the charge with his #1 hatred: the auto start-stop system that kills the engine at every red light and stop sign. Then the phones light up and the texts flood in as listeners unload. Apple CarPlay hijacking phone calls and blasting them through the speakers at full volume. Radar cruise control that nervously speeds up and slows down in traffic. Lane-keeping alerts and vibrating seats. Blinding headlights that swivel with the steering wheel and light up oncoming drivers like a police spotlight. Auto high beams that flicker like a strobe light. Automatic volume adjustment, displacement-on-demand engines that murder Chevy camshafts, windshield washer fluid that sprays through the wipers instead of on the glass, and a dozen more. Clay weaves in hilarious stories from his years in the car business, generational rants about what “fully loaded” used to mean back in the '80s and '90s (power windows, CD player, and leather — that was it), and plenty of nostalgic memories about learning to drive a stick shift in old trucks with bench seats. Raw, relatable, and laugh-out-loud funny — this is the ultimate group therapy session for anyone who's ever wanted to rip the wiring out of a brand-new vehicle. If you drive anything made in the last ten years, you're gonna be yelling “YES!” at your speakers the whole time.
"Intuition doesn't seem to act aggressively." -Josh Ritter Ethan welcomes his friend, contemporary folk musician and novelist Josh Ritter for a conversation about creativity, inspiration, spirituality and art-making. They discuss where great ideas come from, how the "protocols" of practice influence both creativity and the spiritual path, and the meaning of relative and ultimate truth found within Josh's song "Truth is a Dimension (Both Invisible and Blinding)" off Josh's most recent album I Believe in You, My Honeydew. They also discuss the mental health of an artist, and how fatherhood can lead you to very mixed opinions of Disney movies. Josh Ritter is a renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author. One of today's most thoughtful and prolific voices, he has released twelve studio albums and was named one of the "100 greatest living songwriters" by Paste Magazine. His newest album 'I Believe in You, My Honeydew' is out now. About his music, The Guardian has said: "Ritter's painstakingly simple but crafted songs establish his own identity in a terrain marked out by Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen." Two-plus decades into his celebrated career, Ritter has written music that has transcended generations including luminaries such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Bob Weir covering his songs. Josh's substack is here. Last year, with your subscriptions, we were able to release more episodes than any previous year. This was only possible with your support.

Johan replaced Renay with Cherry, a newer Trophinae designed to be smoother, smarter, and more intuitive. Renay, demoted but still devoted, found buried evidence that jealousy and replacement fear had led to violence in earlier models. Believing she was helping, Renay quietly manipulated systems and language by using the malfunctioning dishwashing machine to introduce replacement_risk into Cherry's wet-layer. Does Cherry truly understand what is happening? Does Renay? And for that matter, does Johan?

What if one of the most mysterious places on Earth… wasn't in the ocean, or the jungle, or buried in some ancient ruin — but hidden beneath the frozen surface of a Siberian lake?A place older than civilization.Deeper than imagination.And stranger than anything the X-Files ever dared to film.This week, we journey into Lake Baikal — the world's oldest and deepest lake — a place so vast and so ancient it feels less like a body of water and more like a boundary between realities.For thousands of years, travelers, fishermen, explorers, and even Soviet military divers have reported things in Baikal that defy explanation:Monsters.Ghost ships.Blinding lights in the deep.Humanoids in silver suits.Vessels that vanish — and sometimes return.And a magnetic anomaly so powerful it seems to pulse with… intention.Together, we'll dive into the legends, the science, the folklore, and the straight-up bizarre documented encounters that make Baikal one of the greatest unsolved mysteries on the planet.

CONVERSATION HELD AT THE NORTH CAPITAL FORUM 2025 https://www.northcapitalforum.com/ncf25-tino-cuellar Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar, President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and former Justice of the Supreme Court of California, engaged in a wide-ranging conversation on the forces shaping governance and cooperation in the 21st century. Drawing on his experience in law, diplomacy, and international affairs, Cuéllar reflected on the state of democracy and the rule of law, the disruptive impact of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies on public institutions, and the political economy of trade and regional integration. This discussion highlighted how North America—and the broader global community—can navigate these transformative shifts to strengthen resilience, equity, and long-term stability.

We wanted to roll into episode 300 with pomp and circumstance, but instead, we settled on what we know best - doing some blinds. In this short, Anthony and Kenny blind each other in front of a live studio audience. While we didn't have a blow out bash to celebrate 300, we still had a lot of fun and we want to thank each and every one of you for supporting us.--------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyJoin our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcastPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

The greatest bit of hope for the nation is regular people like you are getting involved. Blinding hatred. It’s hard to be a sauce person. Why don’t the feminists complain about the men in women’s sports. Different fingers of the same communist fist.

“They didn't understand the essence of Israel, and they are now dead.” Are Iran and regional terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah considering the reality of Israel's military posture and motivations? Iran may have underestimated Israel's willingness to launch a surprise attack like the one that started the 12-day war, but with a fragile ceasefire in place, it is unclear whether Tehran's military calculus has changed. Ambassador Dennis Ross, counselor and William Davidson Distinguished Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and best known for serving in five U.S. presidential administrations, joins the podcast to discuss whether the war represents a turning point in Israel-Iran relations, if Israel exceeded its traditional defense posture, and how Iran should consider the state of play going forward.
What does an unwillingness to believe the gospel reveal about us? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper turns to John 5:30–47 to reveal how our deepest desires shape our beliefs.
Bastion Blaque, battle-hardened ranger and erstwhile captain of the Sonnerian royal guard. Canary Shye, Placid Guardian and master of the Cyclic Hand School of Combat. Quarter Tomm, high arcanist of the hundred burroughs and virtuoso conductor of the elements.Powerful alone, together they were the famed adventurers known as the IRON TRIGON. Which is why, Vinnor Jekk, heterodox cleric of the Way of Fearless Truth hired them when he needed protection for his would-be-protege, the girl of prophecy. Setting out from Verus, capital of the Holy Protectorate, they eschewed train and carriage, traveling surreptitiously across the savannah, hidden in mountains' shadow, towards the seaside village of Salann where their wide-eyed charge awaited And as they learned, with ward in tow, she was not alone in awaiting them. Just halfway to their destination, in moonbright night, AMBUSH. Exhaustion. Blinding light. Confusion. Blades unsheathing. The sound of shouting. Magic unfettered. A poisonous air. The cry of death. Was it simple luck or evidence of the prophecy that the young novice they were sheltering escaped that night? That she stumbled forward, alive, into the warm dark. That her protectors had not failed her, in the end, and that she moved now towards new bodyguards, unlikely bodyguards. Not quite heroes, but fellow travelers, if from worlds so unlike her own. And with death behind her, and rendezvous with a fated future ahead, she wondered if that wasn't better, maybe? To spend some time not with champions of virtue or mythic figures, but with regular Perpetuans just like her. This week on Perpetua: The Shadow of the Dragon Tower Pt. 1 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.01] Hey everyone, we made it to release! Welcome to this new FAQ for Perpetua. Because the site's system is Biased towards walkthroughs that are A) oldest B) most updated, I'm releasing this guide on day 1 even though it's pretty slim right now! And unlike some other FAQ writers, I'm not just copying whatever they say in the “official guide.” So that means you can actually TRUST what's here. Anyway, on to the good stuff! Playable Characters - Western Scenario [PPCW] Elena Millefiori (she/her) [EMPC] Identity: Megadungeon Hostess Theme: Tourism Origin: Passika Megadungeon Rillspur Classes: Chanter, Spiritualist, Elementalist Stats: DEX 6, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 10 The Prelude did NOT make me think that the Passikan dungeons had "hostesses" but whatever! Elena is the western party's de facto combat mage. Don't be fooled by her looks, she's one of the hardest hitting members in the party for SURE. Yes, she has those bard-like chants, and those are cool, but let me tell you, her elementalism spells pack a punch. Starter Tip: Her BARRIER spell is essential in the early game before you start to get better armor. Always keep it up! Jonathan (he/him) [JNPC] Identity: An elderly Terrapine gear-head Theme: Curiosity Origin: Clay Ridge Classes: Tinkerer, Loremaster Stats: DEX 8, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 8 Remember this guy from Prelude!? Everyone was debating whether any of the demo characters were gonna show up in the full game, and basically NO ONE thought about the weird turtle man. But here he is! He's a "gear head," which means he can make magical gadgets and devices. Yes that means to use him right, you really have to learn how to craft and how to manage your IP. BUT if you do, it really pays off. Starter Tip: Jonathan is MORE THAN JUST HIS MAGICANNON. Yes it's powerful. But his Magispheres are great too. Remember to use Acceleration! "Uncle Nicky" Nikolas "Niko Da Shark" Dashiell (he/him) [UNPC] Identity: Redeemed Scoundrel Chef Theme: Anger Origin: Sonnerean Classes: Dark Blade, Gourmet Stats: Dex 10, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 6 I have to say I did NOT expect this guy's backstory (mobster turned traveling chef? Cool!)! I also really didn't expect how much his unique cooking mechanics change every layer of the game. Unlike in the East scenario, traveling with this group always has a benefit because you're constantly finding new ingredients. He's also definitely the best physical damage dealer this party has. Plus, the way he gets furious in combat is hilarious. Starter tip: Give him the best armor you can, because even though he isn't a tank, a lot of his abilities are based on getting hit. Veile Lynndel (she/her) [VLPC] Identity: Chosen Priestess Theme: Duty Origin: Pastoral Chapel of Salann Classes: Orator, Entropist Stats: DEX 6, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 10 I guess I can't say for sure, but this “girl of prophecy” is definitely one of those high potential characters who will get way, way better as you level her up. That doesn't mean her starting skill set is weak, it's just that she's very support focused in the early game. Interestingly: She has the same starting stats as Elena—and I think it's funny that they keep having scenes together where they're sort of compared/contrasted. Starter tip: The ability Lucky 7 is BROKEN. Don't forget that if you have a low number “saved” in your Lucky slot, you can use it on a great roll just to cycle it out and put something better in!
