Many believers carry a quiet burden—the longing to see loved ones come to know Jesus. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or coworker, we recognize their need for hope, peace, and truth. Yet even with that desire, we can feel unsure, hesitant, or even inadequate when it comes to sharing our faith. We often think boldness means having the courage to say all the right words at the right time. We imagine bold faith as something loud, visible, and fearless. And when we don’t feel that way, we may begin to believe we’re falling short. But biblical boldness is not always about volume—it’s about faithfulness. In Philippians 1:27, Paul encourages believers to live in a way that is “worthy of the gospel of Christ.” This kind of boldness is seen not only in what we say, but in how we live. It shows up in our choices, our attitudes, and our responses to others. Boldness can look like extending kindness when others choose criticism. It can look like offering prayer when someone is hurting, even if it feels uncomfortable. It can look like choosing integrity in situations where compromise would be easier. These everyday actions reflect the heart of Christ and quietly point others toward Him. Sharing the gospel is important, and we should continue to pray for opportunities and courage to speak truth clearly. But we should not underestimate the power of a life that consistently reflects Jesus. Love, peace, humility, and grace are testimonies that others can see and experience firsthand. God uses both our words and our actions to reach others. When we take even small steps of obedience, He works through them in ways we may not immediately see. If you feel hesitant or unsure, you are not alone. Ask God for boldness—not just to speak, but to live in a way that reflects His love. Trust that He is already at work in the lives of the people around you, and that He can use your faithfulness to draw them closer to Him. Main Takeaways Many believers desire to share their faith but struggle with boldness. Boldness is not only about speaking—it is also about how we live. Living in a way that reflects Christ is a powerful witness to others. Small acts of obedience can have a lasting spiritual impact. God uses both our words and actions to reach those around us. Today’s Bible Verse Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel.

If it feels like your body just stopped responding to everything that used to work, you are not crazy. Fat loss after 40, especially in perimenopause and menopause, follows a completely different playbook. In this episode, Chalene breaks down why eating less and doing more cardio can actually backfire and what is really going on inside your body. She walks through the biggest mistakes women make when trying to lose body fat in midlife and the small shifts that can finally start moving things in the right direction. This is not about more discipline, it is about understanding your hormones, your metabolism, and learning how to work with your body instead of fighting it. Check out this video on YouTube

How does the body store every single emotion? And what can you do to release them?Josh Trent welcomes Alec Zeck to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 808, to explore how suppressed emotions and subconscious beliefs shape physical illness, why the body holds trauma through water, what psychoneuroimmunology reveals about connection and coherence, and why learning to truly feel, release anger, and step out of the healing identity trap is the path to real transformation.In This Episode, Alec Zeck Uncovers:(01:40) Thoughts That Make You Sick(04:14) The Wounds We Inherit(13:10) Psychoneuroimmunology On A Meta Level(18:50) The Fourth Phase Water And Why It Matters(25:25) How Water Tells The Truth About Our Feelings(30:50) The Body Feels What Words Can't Say(35:35) How The Body Keeps The Score(40:40) Becoming an Open-Hearted Man(49:50) Healing Only Happens In Community(58:50) God, Help Me Be Me(01:03:30) Playfulness Is Spiritual Warfare(01:09:15) Tending to Your Own Garden(01:19:10) The Healing Identity Trap(01:24:40) Identity Transformation(01:36:35) Feel Your Anger(01:39:35) Unprocessed Emotions Create Physical Disease(01:45:25) The Nocebo Effect + Mass Psychogenic Illness(01:55:50) Awakening to The Truth(02:00:50) History Reveals The Future(02:12:15) The Real Measure Of Success

Narcissism is everywhere in today's conversation. Labeled, analyzed, and often condemned. But what if it isn't simply dysfunction… what if it's protection? What if the traits we judge most harshly were once necessary for survival? And when we look at powerful figures like Donald Trump, are we seeing pathology... or the long shadow of early adaptation? In this episode of the Align Podcast, Dr. Gabor Maté unpacks how childhood experiences shape identity, behavior, and health, revealing how trauma lives in the body and drives much of what we call personality. This conversation opens a deeper lens on healing, connection, and what it really means to come back to yourself. EPISODE #586 IS SPONSORED BY:

We spend most of our lives living in the mind, bouncing between stories and regret about the past, and worry about the future. The mind can understand everything and still not be free. This is why endless searching and processing doesn't actually change anything. Because true integration happens in the body.In this episode, I explore why the most intelligent, spiritually sophisticated seekers are often the most skilled at living entirely in their heads — and why that makes so much sense from a nervous system perspective. Drawing on my own experience of chronic illness, nervous system activation, and overcoming multiple layers of addiction, I trace the path from endless solving back to the one place the answers have always lived: the intelligence of the body itself.

Have you ever had a stretch where your workouts feel strong, your energy is up, and your recovery is better… but when you look in the mirror, you do not see much change? In this bonus episode, I break down why that disconnect happens and what is actually going on inside your body during those "invisible progress" phases. I explain how strength gains often start with neurological adaptations, meaning your brain and nervous system learn to use the muscle you already have more efficiently before visible muscle changes show up. We also talk about how muscle repair and body composition shifts happen at a cellular level over time, which means the mirror can take longer to reflect the work you are putting in. In this episode, I walk you through: • Why you can feel stronger before you look different • What neural adaptation means for your early strength gains • How muscle repair and recomposition take time • Three ways to measure progress beyond the mirror • Why performance, energy, and recovery are powerful indicators of change If this episode resonated with you and you want to go deeper into measuring progress beyond what you see in the mirror, make sure you also listen to Episode 428 and Episode 430: 8 Non-Scale Victories for Sustainable Progress. Those episodes will help you shift your focus to the wins that truly matter and keep you encouraged as you stay consistent. If you are ready for a structured program that helps you track progress in ways that actually matter, you can learn more about Movement With Julie at movementwithjulie.com. And if this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that progress is happening, even when the mirror has not caught up yet.

Are you carrying neck and shoulder tension, a tight chest, or that wired-at-3AM feeling, like your nervous system is stuck on "high alert"? What if your body isn't betraying you, but trying to guide you back home? Michael sits down with Dr. Sue Morter (author and energy-medicine teacher) to decode what your symptoms may be saying, and to share fast, body-based tools you can do in under 60 seconds to begin regulating your nervous system, reconnecting to intuition, and restoring energy flow. You'll learn why so many people are living "up in the head," how that affects breath, vagal tone, and stress chemistry, and how simple practices like low-belly breathing, cross-body movement, and core anchoring can reopen the pathway between survival-brain patterns and your higher, wiser self. This isn't about fixing yourself. This is about getting back into your body, so wisdom can rise, energy can move, and healing can happen from the inside out. Key Topics The fastest first step for anxiety, chest tightness, and neck tension: breathing below the symptoms. Why fight-or-flight thrives on shallow breathing, and how longer exhales help reset the system. Cross-crawl / contralateral movement (including crawling and swimming) to "reconnect" brain pathways and regulation. A seated cross-body reset you can do anywhere to calm the nervous system and restore balance. How to stop leaking energy into triggers and pull it back onto self (so you feel grounded and clear). Why your energy system is not finite, and how stress can "throttle down" your capacity to receive support. Three anchoring practices: heart-to-spine posture support, pelvic-floor root lock, and eye focus to stabilize the channel. What headaches, tinnitus, and eye challenges may signal energetically, and how to begin restoring flow. The deeper root of autoimmune patterns (including thyroid dynamics) and why self-relationship matters in healing. Gut and nutrition through an energetic lens: adaptability, alkalizing with the plant kingdom, and why mindset matters too. Make sure you tune in if you're searching for nervous system regulation, anxiety breathwork, vagus nerve tools, energy healing, or chakra-based practices that actually feel grounded and doable. It's packed with quick resets you can use in real time, when you wake up at night, when you're triggered, or when your body is begging you to slow down and listen.

Voice of Choice (Season 6 | Episode 230) with Kim DeYoung [TESSA] In this episode of the Open Nester Podcast, we engage with Kim DeYoung, a choice coach and author, who shares her insights on navigating life transitions in the open nester phase. As we explore the themes of vibrant health, relationships, and self-discovery, Kim illustrates how redefining our perspectives on aging can lead to a life full of possibilities. She emphasizes the transformation from being “empty nesters” to “open nesters,” highlighting a newfound freedom to seek new adventures and experiences as children leave home. Kim DeYoung Voice of Choice (Season 6 | Episode 230) We delve into the concept of choice, focusing on Kim’s philosophy and methodologies surrounding decision-making. With her own rich life experiences as a newly remarried mother of three young adults, Kim has developed a unique framework that encourages individuals to become more intentional in their choices. She discusses her journey of writing “The Book of Choice,” which blossomed from her decade-long dedication to understanding how choices can shape our lives. The book offers practical tools, including a technique known as choice mapping, guiding readers to explore the depth of their decisions. 1:10  The Power of Choice 5:18  Navigating Relationships with Intention 9:50  Supporting Our Children's Choices 11:58  The Art of Choice Mapping 14:27 Balancing Risk and Reward 17:21  Parenting Without an Agenda 34:32  The Book of Choice 36:41  Reflecting on Our Choices Through a thought-provoking conversation, we touch upon the nuances of fostering deeper relationships with family. Kim shares personal anecdotes about guiding her children through their own decision-making processes, emphasizing the importance of cultivating autonomy. This aspect of her coaching methodology taps into the innate courage required to embrace risk and lean into uncertainty, especially for those in the late 50s and 60s who are exploring new chapters in their lives. We further reflect on the dynamics of modern parenting and intergenerational relationships; Kim offers guidance on allowing grown children to experience their choices without parental attachment to outcomes. The dialogue showcases the profound impact that curiosity and compassionate inquiry can have on our relationships, shifting the focus from control to understanding. Kim believes in the power of asking intentional questions to encourage her children and clients to unravel their desires and aspirations. Throughout the episode, we tackle the complexities of risk and the idea of stepping into the unknown. Kim gives practical examples of how one can innovate their life path while grounding decisions in self-awareness and authentic values. Listeners are encouraged to take small yet significant steps toward realizing their passions, whether it's dating after divorce or exploring new career options—a testament to the idea that life is about trial and error and continuous discovery. To conclude our conversation, Kim invites everyone to connect with her through her vibrant presence on social media and to look out for her book, which serves as a comprehensive guide to navigating choices across various life stages. We hope this episode inspires you to embrace your open-nester journey with an open heart and a curious mind, reminding you that every choice holds the potential for remarkable growth and fulfillment.

What if the very beliefs driving your success are also the ones quietly burning you out? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, host Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with neuroscientist and founder of Dr. Rewire, Dr. Alok Trivedi, for a powerful conversation on how the brain, beliefs, and nervous system truly shape success and fulfillment. Dr. Alok shares his origin story, the breakdown that sparked his breakthrough, and how decoding the “anatomy of belief” allowed him to rewire his life and business. Together, they explore why traditional mindset work often falls short, why the brain is wired for protection rather than happiness, and why integration, not hustle, is the real path to sustainable performance. The conversation dives into Dr. Alok's Four Brains framework, the dopamine-driven highs and lows of achievement, and how entrepreneurs can align with their true design to reduce burnout, anxiety, and self-sabotage.

Your Body Often Knows Before Your Mind Does In this episode of The Daily Shift, Celeste explores how rebuilding self-trust often begins with listening to the signals our body has been sending us all along. Many of us learned to override our instincts, dismiss our emotions, or push past discomfort. But awareness starts when we pause long enough to notice what our body is communicating. Self-trust is built through small moments of listening, reflection, and intentional decision making. This episode is part of the Self-Trust Series within The Daily Shift. Small shifts create big change.

In this Here We Go episode of Tent Talk, Nancy shares from the Netherlands after safe travels from Edinburgh, reflecting on the deep value of Christian community and the reality of life together in Christ. Drawing from Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, she speaks about the priceless gift of true fellowship among believers—not as a sentimental ideal, but as a divine reality made possible only through Jesus Christ. As she prepares for meetings, ministry, and fellowship in the days ahead, Nancy reflects on how the Father is putting His house in order, moving His people beyond isolation, disorder, and false ideas of community into the living reality of His body. This episode is a call to treasure what Christ has made possible between His people. Nancy reminds listeners that we belong to one another only through and in Jesus Christ, and that the deeper true community becomes, the more everything else fades except Him. With tenderness and clarity, she points to a growing hunger for the real Body of Christ—not a religious fantasy, but a spiritual fellowship born of Him alone. Whether alone, among friends, or in the thick of opposition, listeners are encouraged to let the Lord love them deeply, to live richly in inward fellowship with Him, and to move with Him as He brings forward the house He has always desired. Thanks for Listening! Nancy McCready Ministries is committed to building cultures of personal and corporate discipleship so that believers can walk in maturity and their destiny with the Father.

Did you know that the most powerful anti-aging protocol isn't about how long you sleep? It's about when. Getting eight hours of sleep for skincare feels like a tough feat to achieve especially when life gets in the way.By understanding how your skin begins its optimal repair time, it's still possible to achieve the best skin results without the guilt of not sleeping enough.In our quest in finding the best skincare ingredient for our products, we discovered that hours of sleep do matter, but best skin results happen by following the skin's optimal program sequences for deep repair.We go deeper into this in the latest episode of Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast. We also cover how melatonin onset, circadian rhythm, growth hormones, and inflammation play a huge role in giving your skin the environment it needs to do its best work.What's Discussed:(1:54-5:09) Why sleep timing matters more than sleep hours for skin repair(07:01-15:19) The three repair windows your skin depends on every night: melatonin onset, growth hormone pulse, and barrier recovery(05:09-5:55) Why dull skin, slow healing, and crepey eyes are often a timing problem — not a product problem(13:28-17:10) How to build a recovery-first nighttime routine before adding any stimulation(37:47-40:47) The silk vs. cotton pillowcase: Which fabric choice is part of your skincare(43:29-47:36) Supplements that support skin repair at night(17:17-17:30) Red light therapy as the only exception to the no-stacking ruleResources mentioned:Sleep protocol: https://www.younggoose.com/pages/sleep-protocolEpisode with Anastasia (BeautyFascia): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anastasia-beauty-fascia-facial-fascia-and-massageEpisode on Face Taping with Olga from Natural Face Bible: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/real-japanese-face-taping-explained-with-olgaFind more from Young Goose:The Elastin Action Protocol → Engineered for Skin Navigating Elasticity ChangeThe Winter Skin Protocol → Build for How Skin Actually Behaves in WinterVAMPIRE EXOSOMES → Professional Exosome Serum for Regeneration and Post-Treatment RecoveryUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://younggoose.comInstagram: @young_goose_skincare

A Note from James:I talked to Nelson Dellis, who's a six-time USA Memory Champion and has broken multiple Guinness World Records. His book, Everyday Genius, makes a pretty bold claim—that with some practice and the right techniques, you can dramatically improve how your brain works.We didn't just talk about memory. We got into everything: mental math, focus, cold reading, even some techniques that feel almost like magic. And I've done a lot of episodes on memory over the years—but Nelson showed me things I hadn't seen before.What stood out to me is this idea that “genius” isn't some fixed trait. It's a collection of skills you can build. Some of them are surprisingly simple once you understand how your brain actually works.I'm definitely going to spend more time practicing some of these techniques. There's a lot here that's immediately useful—and a lot that could take years to master.Episode Description:James sits down with world memory champion Nelson Dellis to break down what memory really is—and how far it can be pushed.Nelson explains how his grandmother's battle with Alzheimer's led him into the world of memory training, eventually becoming one of the best in the world. From memorizing thousands of digits to competing in global competitions, he shows that memory is not a fixed trait—it's a skill.The conversation goes beyond memory into focus, reading, learning, and even social intelligence. Nelson shares practical techniques for improving recall, reading faster without losing comprehension, and using visualization to retain more information.They also explore the edge cases—cold reading, intuition, and even experiments with “remote viewing”—where perception and cognition blur into something that feels almost supernatural.At its core, this episode is about expanding what you believe your brain is capable of.What You'll Learn:Why memory is a trainable skill—not something you're born withHow visualization and emotional context dramatically improve recallThe difference between “speed reading” and “focus reading”Simple techniques to retain more from books and conversationsHow cold reading works (and why it feels like magic)Why reviewing information—not cramming—is key to long-term memoryThe mental habits that create the appearance of “genius”How attention and focus are becoming rare—and valuable—skillsTimestamped Chapters:00:02:00 – Nelson's origin story: Alzheimer's and the motivation to master memory 00:02:16 – Why reading is like living thousands of lives 00:03:13 – Introducing Everyday Genius and the promise of trainable intelligence 00:04:33 – Memory palace techniques and applying them to real-world skills 00:05:13 – Can memory training help prevent Alzheimer's? 00:06:13 – Daily memory training routines and measurable progress 00:08:16 – From beginner to USA Memory Champion 00:10:00 – Memorizing 10,000 digits of pi: how it actually works 00:11:31 – Turning numbers into stories: the core of memory systems 00:14:28 – Why emotion and visualization drive memory 00:16:00 – Memory competition benchmarks and world-class performance 00:18:00 – What “genius” actually means—and how to simulate it 00:20:00 – The four pillars: memory, reading, focus, and learning 00:23:33 – Speed reading vs. focus reading (and why most people get it wrong) 00:25:12 – The finger-tracking technique to instantly read faster 00:27:16 – Why you don't need to read every word 00:30:17 – Why cramming fails (and how memory actually forms) 00:31:17 – Visualization while reading: turning text into a movie 00:34:00 – Active recall, note-taking, and long-term retention systems 00:37:16 – Cold reading and social intelligence 00:41:00 – Body language cues: attention, interest, and perception 00:43:00 – How mentalists create the illusion of mind reading 00:46:00 – Psychological “forcing” and influencing choices 00:51:00 – Remote viewing experiments and cognitive edge cases Additional ResourcesEveryday Genius: Hacks to Boost Your Memory, Focus, Problem Solving and Much MoreSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens in the moment a child finally says something is wrong? For many children experiencing abuse, it takes years to speak up - if they ever do. And when they finally tell someone, the response they receive can shape the rest of their healing. In this powerful conversation, Dr Justin Coulson speaks with body-safety educator and survivor John Cardamone about what children actually need to feel safe enough to disclose abuse - and the critical mistakes adults often make in the first moments after a child tells them. John shares his own experience of abuse as a child, the two years it took him to speak up, and the simple but life-changing framework every parent should know if a child ever confides in them. This is a difficult topic - but one every parent needs to understand. KEY POINTS Most children who experience sexual abuse know the person involved. Many children try to disclose through behaviour before words. Kids are far more likely to speak up when they feel safe, connected, and heard in everyday moments. The way parents respond to small problems trains children whether it’s safe to share bigger ones. Traditional “stranger danger” messaging can miss the reality that abuse is usually committed by someone known to the child. Body safety education should be ongoing, simple, and part of everyday conversation. A parent’s first response to a disclosure can either start the healing process or deepen the trauma. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “The way you respond to a disclosure can either start the healing process… or prolong the trauma.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Website: johncardamone.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Create safety in everyday moments. How you respond to spilled milk, mistakes, or bad behaviour teaches children whether it’s safe to talk to you. Talk about body safety regularly. Make it an ongoing conversation rather than a single serious talk. Focus on “strange behaviours,” not just strangers. Most abuse happens with someone the child knows. If a child discloses something difficult, stay calm. Children mirror the emotional reactions of adults. Follow the “BeCalmer” approach. Be calm Believe them Acknowledge what they said Validate their feelings See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This story, reported in The Washington Post on May 8, 1896, involved students like Im Byung Goo and Ahn Jung Sik, supported by diplomat Suh Kwang Bum amid Korea's late-19th-century turmoil after the Sino-Japanese War and Queen Min's assassination.The album's 14 tracks draw from influences like trip-hop and old-school hip-hop, produced by Pdogg, Kevin Parker (Tame Impala), Flume, JPEGMAFIA, Mike WiLL Made-It, Ryan Tedder, and Diplo (executive producer on tracks including “Body to Body,” “FYA,” “Like Animals,” “One More Night,” and “Into the Sun”). The concept emphasizes maturity, cultural resilience, connection, distance, and reunion—echoing "Arirang" as Korea's unofficial anthem with over 60 regional variations.Visuals feature the members in formal suits inspired by early 20th-century portraits, mirroring the 1896 students.

What if the body already knows how to heal, and the missing piece is learning how to get out of its way? Bob Ross has spent a lifetime at the intersection of science, medicine, emergency response, and human potential. With a background in physics, medical research, and decades of hands-on experience helping people survive trauma, Bob has seen firsthand how unresolved emotional shock can quietly shape physical health, behavior, and identity. In this episode, Bob Ross and Chuck Thuss explore the deep connection between emotional trauma and the body's biological responses. From cancer research and PTSD to addiction, phobias, and chronic pain, Bob explains why healing often begins not with fighting symptoms, but with resolving what the nervous system is still holding onto. This conversation challenges conventional thinking and invites listeners to reconsider what true healing really looks like. Guest Bio Bob Ross is a physicist, medical researcher, bestselling author, and lifelong first responder with nearly four decades of service as an EMS professional and training officer with the Pasadena Fire Department. With advanced training in medical physics and cancer research, Bob contributed to major discoveries in oncology and later stepped away from traditional treatment models to focus on healing at the root level. Bob has worked with the U.S. Secret Service, served as a motion picture and television set medic, received both Presidential and Congressional awards for lifesaving service, and comes from a family lineage of inventors holding over 150 patents. Today, he helps individuals heal trauma, PTSD, phobias, addiction, and chronic conditions by addressing the nervous system and subconscious mind through science-backed, trauma-informed methods.   You'll hear About How emotional trauma creates real biological responses in the body Why unresolved shock can manifest as illness, pain, or addiction The link between trauma, the nervous system, and immune function Why healing symptoms without addressing root causes often fails Practical ways to begin emotional healing safely and effectively Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Episode Introduction 02:30 Bob's Early Life and Path Into Science and Medicine 06:00 Medical Physics, Cancer Research, and Walking Away 10:30 Emotional Trauma as a Biological Event 15:00 PTSD, Shock, and the Nervous System 19:30 Why the Body Creates Symptoms to Protect Us 24:00 Trauma, Addiction, and Survival Behaviors 28:30 The Role of Safety in Healing 32:30 Real-World Stories of Recovery and Resolution 38:00 Why Talk Therapy Alone Often Falls Short 42:00 Practical Tools for Healing Emotional Trauma 45:30 Where to Learn More and Access Resources 48:00 Chuck's Closing Reflections Chuck's Challenge This week, pay attention to your body's signals instead of fighting them. When discomfort, stress, or emotion shows up, pause and ask, "What might my body be trying to protect me from?" Approach yourself with curiosity rather than judgment.

In this episode we're digging into body dysmorphia, body image, and how the stories that your brain tells you about your body are making it impossible for you to trust your body.   When your perception of your body becomes distorted, those thoughts can feel completely logical. And before you realize it, you're stuck in a cycle of distrusting your hunger, tracking and measuring your food, and relying on the scale to tell you if you're "doing okay."   If you constantly feel like something is wrong with your body…this episode might change the way you see everything. Hit play and let's go! Episode Highlights -What body dysmorphia actually does to the way you perceive your body -How body image distortion turns into the beliefs that keep you dieting or controlling food -Why the scale becomes a "reality check" when you stop trusting your own perception -How this cycle erodes your ability to trust your body with food -The 1st ESSENTIAL step toward rebuilding trust with your body again   Today's Wellness Woo is Prolon.

If you've ever done all the "right" body image work, challenged the thoughts, said the affirmations, stared into the mirror like you were told to, and still felt exactly the same… this episode is for you. And honestly? You're not broken. You're probably just being asked to do body image work that was never deep enough to begin with. Today's conversation comes from a place of deep respect for clients, for clinicians, and for how hard this work actually is. Because let's be real: showing up to talk about body image at all already means you're doing something incredibly brave. This episode isn't a takedown. It's more of a gentle (okay, sometimes pointed) "hey, let's zoom out for a second." Tweetable Quotes "Any clinician or client that comes to the room with any sort of body image concerns, you're already doing a really, really important thing." - Rachelle Heinemann "Body image is rarely just about appearance or what happens in the mirror. It's something that organizes our entire internal experience." - Rachelle Heinemann "Exposure without increased tolerance actually increases the person's sense of threat." - Rachelle Heinemann "Ambivalence is not resistance. That's not an annoyance we have to get through — that is the work." - Rachelle Heinemann "When we isolate body image from psychological context, we miss almost everything." - Rachelle Heinemann "Body image work is very central to eating disorder treatment. Body image work isn't effective enough when we treat body image as the problem, rather than the communication." - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Join my FREE webinar happening March 18th: Brave on Purpose!

Dr. Aaron Hartman is a triple board-certified physician and the founder and owner of Richmond Integrative Medicine, whose path in medicine has never been typical. It began when he and his wife adopted their daughter Anna, who was born with cerebral palsy along with countless dietary issues. He and his wife were told that their child would never walk, talk, or see. After consulting with multiple specialists, he realized that our current healthcare system does not have all the answers. His wife refused to give up hope, and she ultimately pointed him to functional medicine. After years of traditional family practice, he felt called to make a dramatic shift. As a result, his daughter and other two kids began to thrive. His daughter is now 19 and thriving. Dr. Hartman now helps patients identify leverage points in key areas of their lifestyle and health that harness their body's remarkable power to heal and begin living the vibrant life they deserve. He has become the go-to doctor for difficult cases in central Virginia.        Connect with Dr. Hartman: https://richmondfunctionalmedicine.com/ https://www.facebook.com/RVAintegrative/ https://www.youtube.com/c/AaronHartmanMD https://www.instagram.com/rvaintegrative   Want to be a guest on TheFemiNinjaProject?

Sometimes history hides its secrets in the strangest places… like the bottom of a forgotten well. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro uncover the chilling real-life mystery of the Woman in the Well—a century-old murder discovered when construction workers in Saskatoon accidentally unearthed human remains buried in a barrel deep beneath the earth. Using modern DNA technology and genetic genealogy, investigators finally revealed the victim's identity after more than 100 years, connecting a name to a long-lost story. Then the conversation turns to one of the strangest forms of human spectacle: the bizarre history of people being buried alive as endurance stunts, from carnival-era “human moles” to modern performers testing the limits of the human body. It's a journey through bizarre history, unsolved mysteries, and the unsettling lengths people go for fame, faith, or curiosity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Magnesium deficiency symptoms are often missed on standard blood tests. In this video, we explore the key benefits of magnesium, common hidden magnesium deficiency symptoms, and how magnesium may help support anxiety, sleep, stress, and overall wellness.Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO070:00 Introduction: Hidden magnesium deficiency symptoms 1:02 What causes magnesium deficiency?1:36 Magnesium for anxiety 2:21 Eye twitching and magnesium deficiency6:11 What kind of magnesium to take6:37 Magnesium glycinate benefits7:17 When to take magnesium8:13 Health tips to avoid magnesium deficiency8:47 Magnesium and vitamin DMost of the magnesium in your body is inside your bones and cells. Only 0.3% of your magnesium is in your blood serum. One of the biggest mistakes people make when assessing magnesium deficiency is relying on blood magnesium levels.Over 300 medications can deplete your magnesium levels. Other factors that can cause magnesium deficiency include the following:• Stress• Sugar• Caffeine • Alcohol• High insulin • Low stomach acid• Low salt• Low vitamin DHere are 9 of the most common magnesium deficiency symptoms:1. Anxiety/panic attacks2. Waking up at 2 AM3. Eye twitching (tetany)4. Heart pounding after eating5. Exhausted from thinking 6. Random chest tightness7. Sugar or carb cravings8. Wired but tired 9. Feeling heavyRestless legs syndrome can also result from a magnesium deficiency.Magnesium oxide is one of the most common forms of magnesium available, but also the worst! It has a 3% absorption rate and can cause diarrhea at higher doses. Magnesium glycinate combines magnesium with glycine, a protein that supports GABA in the brain, and has an absorption rate of 80%. The best time to take magnesium is late in the day. When taking more than 400 mg of magnesium, spread your doses throughout the day.To avoid magnesium deficiency, follow a low-carb diet, increase your stomach acid, and ensure you're getting enough vitamin D.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins sits down with author Aaron Mead to discuss his gripping novel Body in the Barrel, a story inspired by a real-life discovery in Lake Mead that shocked the nation. In 2022, as water levels at Lake Mead dropped to historic lows, authorities discovered a body in a barrel with a gunshot wound to the head—a killing style that many investigators immediately linked to organized crime. The discovery triggered speculation that the remains could date back to the 1970s or 1980s, the heyday of mob activity in Las Vegas. Aaron Mead explains how this discovery sparked the idea for his novel. Although Mead is a longtime water engineer for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the mystery of the barrel victim and the history of mob activity in Las Vegas inspired him to craft a fictional story grounded in real events. Gary and Aaron dive deep into the Chicago Outfit's influence in Las Vegas, discussing figures like Tony Spilotro and hitman Frank Cullotta, whose violent methods and stories helped shape the mythology of organized crime in the desert. They also explore the long-standing mob practice of disposing of bodies in barrels, including the infamous case of mobster Johnny Roselli, whose body was also discovered stuffed in a drum. The conversation examines several possible identities of the Lake Mead victim, including casino insiders and Outfit associates who disappeared during the era of casino skimming. Mead's novel follows a fictional mob associate named Lenny Battaglia, who becomes terrified when news breaks about the barrel discovery. The reason? He knows there's another barrel—with his victim—still resting somewhere in Lake Mead. The discussion moves beyond mob history into the psychological consequences of violence, comparing Mead's story to classic works like Crime and Punishment. Rather than focusing on a traditional “whodunit,” the novel explores what happens after the crime, examining guilt, fear, and the moral weight carried by those who commit violence. Gary and Aaron also discuss the broader context of violence in American culture, including parallels between organized crime murders and modern tragedies such as the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting. Finally, the conversation shifts to Mead's professional expertise in Western water law and the Colorado River, explaining how drought and declining water levels at Lake Mead are literally revealing pieces of hidden history—sometimes including crimes buried for decades. This episode blends mob history, real crime mysteries, and fiction inspired by true events, offering listeners a fascinating look at how the past can resurface in unexpected ways.

[0:02]Introduction to Gangland Wire [0:00]Hey, all you wiretappers, good to be back here in studio of Gangland Wire. This is Gary Jenkins. You know, I’m a retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective. Now I have a podcast and I interview real crime mobsters, policemen, FBI agents, do authors that are doing true crime books. And I do authors that are doing novels that are based on true crime. Because we stick with true crime as close as we can here, guys. You know that. And today I have one of those authors that has written a book that is a novel, but it’s based on a lot of real events in Las Vegas. And we all know a little bit about Las Vegas and the Mafia. So Aaron Mead, welcome, Aaron. Thank you. It’s a pleasure to be here. It’s great to have you on the show. Tell us a little bit about yourself, a little bit about your history. [0:47]Sure. Yeah, I’m actually I’ve been working as an engineer, a water engineer for 30 some odd years. And so I come by my writing habit as a sort of a side interest. I, I, yeah, I just, I got a very, I’ve got a varied educational background too. So I started out as a, as an engineer in my training and then just had a creative itch and went back to school, ended up doing a PhD in philosophy of all things. And while I was doing that, I, I thought I might be an academic. I thought I might be a professor at one time and through the job search, things didn’t really work out. I did find a job, but it just wasn’t going to pay well enough, consider moving my family across the country for it. So I ended up not going into academia, but I stuck with writing, which was my favorite part of the PhD, the dissertation. [1:31]And I just started writing different things, some nonfiction stuff related to my dissertation research, but then just got an idea for a story, wrote a novel. It’s still sitting in the drawer. I’m interested in publishing that someday. But this idea for the book related to kind of Las Vegas mob stuff actually came connected with my work as a water engineer. So I work for Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. We import water to Southern California from the Colorado River. And so I track the Colorado River news pretty closely. And in 2022, the lake was dropping because of drought and overuse. And this body in a barrel showed up on the shore of Lake Mead. And there was a gunshot wound to the head. And this looked an awful lot like a mob hit to the authorities. And so this just piqued my interest and got me thinking about how did this barrel get there and this body and what’s the story behind it. And I started doing a little research and it turns out that the clothing on the body was pretty well preserved. [2:29]So the police dated it to the late 70s, early 80s potentially. And that’s of course the heyday of the mob activities in Las Vegas. It got me onto the Chicago outfit and, Some of the characters involved in the outfits activity in Vegas there. And so my story just went from there. But, yeah, I guess that’s a little about me and the story. So, yeah. Yeah. Those are the days when Tony Spolatro was really active out there. Chicago outfit man on the scene, if you will. And Body in a Barrel, another interesting Chicago link is they found a guy named Johnny Roselli, who was a highly placed mob guy who was connected to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. He had been their guy before Spalatro. He had been their representative out in the West, and they found his body in a barrel down in Florida. Wow, okay. There’s some reference there. [3:21]I’d read a little that this is a pretty popular method of body disposal in various times. And Tony Spalatro was, I understand that they haven’t actually identified the victim yet, but the kind of style of killing they think is pretty connected with something Tony Spalatro might do. I guess the sort of low caliber gunshot wound was a popular way to dispose of it, to whack people just because it was a little less messy than a high caliber weapon. Yeah, this is one they call it a lupara blanca, which means white shotgun in Italian. And that means that you never find the body. In this case, they found the body. Every once in a while, they’ll find the body. Not very often, though. Usually they hide them pretty good. Now, who’d ever thought that Lake Mead would drop that much? Yeah, they dropped it at 100 feet of water, and I don’t think anybody expected it to drop that low. And it could go even lower in the next couple of years here, honestly. Really? Oh, really? It’s still dropping. I thought there’d been some more rain and some snow up in the mountains that were going to add to that. It’s going to be still dropping, huh? Yeah, there has been a fair bit of precipitation this year, but in the areas that count most, where you get most of the runoff, which is up in the mountains of Colorado and Utah, it’s really quite dry, actually. They’ve had some rain, but not much snow, and so they’re talking about a snow drought. Yeah, things could. It just depends. We’ll see how things develop, but it could get bad. Yeah, talk about that gun now. Chicago was noted. [4:40]For using these 22 caliber high standard i think they’re browning semi-automatic pistols with a silencer on it and they had them out there i believe and they also another interesting thing about the outfit in order to keep the sound down they would load their own shells and so they were had less powder in them and sometimes the shells didn’t do the job that they wanted to do now frank Kulata, who was in Las Vegas working for Tony Splattro during these years, he tells a story about trying to kill a guy with one of those guns and how he had such a hard time getting him killed. So I don’t know how many holes were in this guy’s head, but you got to get somebody just right in the head with that .22 caliber pistol. Yeah, they say it had to be pretty close range. You’re talking about the Jerry Listener murder, I think. Is that right? Yeah. I read about that one. That’s actually the kind of the murder in question in my book is based on that loosely. And so yeah, Kolata advises my main character, Lenny, to load his gun with half loads because they’ve lost their silencer or something. So that’ll keep the sound down. But yeah, I guess Lister ended up with multiple bullets to the head. And when they found them, more than you’d imagine would be necessary. [5:55]Really? There’s a guy that worked for the Stardust named Jay VanderWalk that disappeared at the time. It disappeared for a long time. Did you look at that one, too, as some of your source material? Yeah. So there’s this great article that’s been turned into a podcast on the Mob Museum website. I don’t know if you’re familiar with that in Las Vegas there. And they suggest there might be three potential victims. [6:21]VanderMark is one of the—is that the guy you mentioned, George VanderMark? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they call him by Jay. That’s right. Yeah. So, yeah, he is one of the, he’s a missing person, right? From that era, had connections with the Argent company. So they think he, that’s one of the possibilities. He was running the skimming operation, at least in some of the casinos there for Argent. And I guess the, as the gaming control board in Nevada found out about the skimming operation, gradually, they were starting to talk to people. And I think that they were worried that he was going to talk or actually this is, I think the, the outfit suspected he was stealing money from him. I think it was a combination. Stealing money is worse than talking. Right, yeah. So I guess he took off to Mexico, maybe, I read, or Costa Rica even. But I think… He came back. I can’t remember the exact story, but yeah. Yeah. So from what I read, Nick Calabrese, who I guess was a hitman for the outfit, and then turned eventually and started talking to the feds. He suggested that, I guess, Vandermark ended up in a hotel in Phoenix or something, and the outfit sent a couple of hitmen after him and whacked him there. And then Calabrese said they buried his body in the desert. So that means, you know, if that’s true, then obviously it’s not the guy in the barrel, but he’s one of the ones they talk about because they never found his body. Yeah. And I guess the other one I read about was William Crespo. [7:40]I don’t know that story. Yeah. So the little I know of it is he was a drug runner [7:48]Stories of the Las Vegas Mob [7:45]involved with the outfit in Las Vegas. And he got caught kind of landing in the Las Vegas airport coming from Miami with $400,000 worth of cocaine on him. And the feds arrested him. He accepted an offer of immunity to become an informant. And he was set to testify about this drug ring that the outfit was part of. And he actually ended up testifying before a grand jury, got a bunch of folks indicted. I guess one of the names of folks who was indicted was Victor Greger, according to this article. He was a former Argent executive. But then when Crespo himself went to testify, he was set to testify in June 83. And they got to him before then and he never testified. So, he’s another kind of missing person they suspect could be in the barrel. But the article thought the most likely candidate was a guy named Johnny Pappas. I don’t know if you know him at all. Yeah, I don’t know the story of that. Okay. So, this is a Chicago native guy who was involved in some of the Argent Corporation casino work. And he was, I guess by the 70s, late 70s, he was managing this resort on the northern part of Lake Mead called Echo Bay Resort, which was an Argent Corporation Resort. [9:00]And it’s closed now. It’s not there anymore. It used to be like a hotel and a boat launch. And so he was at the lake at different times. He also owned a boat on Lake Mead. And so in 1976, the day he disappeared, his wife told authorities basically that he went to meet this guy at a restaurant who was interested in buying his boat at Lake Mead. And so they think it could have been a ruse set up by outfit folks luring him basically down to the lake to show him his boat. And then they knock him off and take him out on his own dang boat and drop him in the lake. The motive is a little less clear in this case, but it was around that time when stuff was coming out about the Argent Corporation and the skimming. And they could have just thought he was a liability, might be set to talk or something. Yeah, those are the three that I read about anyway. He just disappeared after this meeting to go sell his boat. Yeah, they found that theory makes sense. They found his car parked in the circus casino parking lot on the strip the next day. And yeah, he’s just gone, disappeared. [10:01]I’ll be darned. I hadn’t heard that story. That is a pretty likely scenario. Say, hey, I’ll drive and let’s run down there and let’s see that boat. I got the money right here. You show the guy a bunch of money and he’ll drop all caution. It’ll go to the wind. That’s how they do it. and got him isolated then. [10:18]Yeah. And maybe it’s a last minute deal. So nobody really knows who he’s meeting and where he’s going and that he’s even going. So that’s, that’s a classic in the mob. Yeah. Apparently he told his wife he was going to go sell his boat, but that’s about it. Yeah. I’ll be darned. Yeah. The, as Lake Mead’s gone down, has there been any other bodies or any other things that have been found out there recently? Yeah, there’s been some strange things turned up. One is a sort of a World War II era airplane, honestly, started coming out of the water. But that was known about for some time. You could see it, I guess, from aerial photos. But other bodies, yeah, there’s a few other bodies, just skeletons, nothing in barrels and no gunshot wounds. And so, people just, I think authorities have identified most of those and suspect they were just drowning victims, unfortunate boating accidents and whatnot. But nothing like this body in a barrel. I think they’ve been trying to identify that body. There’s lots of DNA evidence, right? You got still a pretty intact body. But the problem is back in that era, I guess they didn’t have the DNA database to be matching with. Yeah. So, it’s not borne a lot of fruit. I think it’s still an open case, honestly. Really? The chance they have is if one of that guy’s descendants goes to something like 23andMe and then does that. And I know they’ve come up with a deal where they can start running an unknown DNA through those… [11:44]Files and see if you can come up with a connection and then go back and say, okay, where would this guy have ever come across or be in this other person’s family tree, if you will, and then they can eventually get it. That’s fascinating. Amazing. Yeah, it is what they could do. I had a guy that used to be a professional criminal talking about it. He said, I don’t know why anybody does crime today. He said with the DNA and the cameras and the cell phones and all that, he said, there’s just way, way too many ways to get caught. That’s wild. Yeah. Oh boy. Yeah. I watch a lot of crime shows and I see a lot of that stuff. And everybody watches those crime shows. So they know about those tools out there. So first thing, you got to go get a burner phone. If you’re going to go do something, you better go get a burner phone. And then you better dress up in one of those suits in those English police movies, those white hazmat suits and your whole face covered. Crazy, crazy. Yeah. And then go do it. Don’t use your own car. You better go steal a car somewhere. Man, complicated. It’s too hard. Yes. And even then, if they look at you and say, your phone never moved for 24 hours, but yet you were seen over here or over there. How come you didn’t have your phone with you or your car? You parked your car here for 12 hours and then you came back and got it. What were you doing? [13:08]It is just crazy, isn’t it? Yeah. But tell us, what’s the storyline of your book? Don’t give too much away. You want people to buy it. I understand that. But tell the guys the storyline of your book. Sure, yeah. So the storyline is, it starts out with the true events of 2022, right? This headline that there’s a body in a barrel shows up on the shore of Lake Mead. And my main protagonist, who’s sort of made up from my imagination, his name’s Lenny Battaglia. [13:37]The Body in the Barrel [13:33]And he reads this headline. He’s an old time mob associate. He, at one time when he was young, was connected with the outfit, but ended up getting out of it barely. But he reads this headline and starts to get worried because he’s got a barrel with a body in it that’s his victim farther out in the lake. So this one that he reads about is not his. It’s actually his partners who, in my story, the partners loosely based on Frank Collada, actually. [14:01]And so he reads this headline, gets worried, goes out in his little boat to try to move his victim farther out into the lake because he’s concerned that his lake, the lake’s continuing to drop and the kind of the falling lakes acts like a ticking clock in my story in some ways. I think the Sopranos did something like this. They thought somebody was going to come up and buy some farm, and they had said, these guys have to dig this body up and move it. So that is not out of the realm of possibility, is it? No, no. But what is out of the realm of possibility is this old guy in his tiny little boat actually moving the barrel. So he goes out with just a gaff with a hook on it and tries to yank it out with his little outboard motor, and it just won’t budge. The thing’s really heavy. If you know anything about water, stuff under water is really heavy. Really heavy. Yeah. He’s wrestling with it and ends up falling in while he’s trying to pull this barrel farther out. And so it’s a big failure. And while he’s falling in, he has this flashback to the killing, basically. And so the story kind of goes from there, but it’s really focused on how he deals with what he’s done, basically. [15:10]Crime is no mystery from the beginning. it’s not a it’s not a traditional it’s not a traditional police procedural of where who done it yeah it’s not like that it’s more like kind of what is what’s the aftermath what’s the effect of, a terrible crime like this on even the perpetrator yeah yeah and as I said one of my characters is based on Frank Collada who so he was the story takes place in kind of two time frames right we’ve got the, contemporary time frame, but then we got flashbacks to his time at the mob and Frank was his partner in this hit. We’ve also got a character showing up who’s based on Tony Spolatro. I call him Tony Bonucci, named after one of my favorite Italian soccer players. [15:50]But yeah, so we’ve got this connection to the early 80s, late 70s, and then also this kind of contemporary period. And I understand Frank Collado was actually, he recently just died, right he was he did during covid times i think he he already had copd he was already everything he did he you’d see me to have his oxygen on and so he was already weakened then he got covid during uh during covid that’s a shame you know yeah i did some listening to a podcast he was on in researching my book and it was really fascinating to listen to yeah yeah he is he’s and he’s got his there’s a whole book out there that he mainly just told stories about his life during the whole book. It’s amazing. I did one with him and then added some more clips in from that a long time. One of my earlier ones, I got to know him real early because we had the mob con out there. I knew the guy that was getting it going and I went out to the guy that actually Denny Griffin who wrote the books with Frank Collider, wrote several books with Frank Collider and I’d gotten to know Denny and so Denny invited me to come out and do a program at the first mob conference and I met Frank then. I met him and a couple others after that. He was gruff, but he was a good guy. I mean, he was gruff, I’ll tell you. He wasn’t a guy that just, it was hard to joke around with him. Interesting. Okay, interesting. [17:12]Yeah, I got a bit of that vibe from the podcast of him that I was listening to. Yeah, it’s funny. Just genuine Italian Chicago, like to the core. Yeah, he was that. He was born and bred, born and bred from early his childhood. He was a Chicago mobster. There’s no doubt about that. That’s wild. [17:32]Yeah, Denny Griffin’s book was really helpful to me, actually, in my research. Yeah, the battle for Las Vegas in particular was. Yeah, that’s the one I used. Denny was that. Denny’s dead now. I don’t know if you knew that. I did know that, unfortunately. Yeah, I was pretty good friends with Denny. He helped me out a lot when I got started and got me out there. And he gave me for my first documentary, which was about the skimming, a lot about the skimming. He got me several people to interview, lined me up with them and verified, hey, this guy’s okay and work with him. And I flew out to Las Vegas and interviewed a bunch of people and interviewed him too. But he got me an employee of the Best Casino that knew Lefty Rosenthal really well. She gave us some really great sound bites. I get calls today or emails wanting to know if she’s still around. She’s died since. People are still trying to find her to get to interview her. That’s wild. That’s wild. That’s because old Denny Griffin, he was a good guy. He really was. That’s neat. His book was certainly good. Yeah. Interesting. So what else do you want to say about your book before we get out of here? Besides, go out and buy it. Go out and buy it. It’s on Amazon, I’m sure, and I’ll have a link to the Amazon site. I appreciate that. Yeah, it is on Amazon. What do I want to say about it? I guess the other thing to say is it’s got some, I don’t want to give too much away, but gun violence is really a big part of the book. Not only this single mob hit, but also it wraps in. [18:56]This mass shooting in 2017, the one where the guy was a shooter was in the hotel suites up high and he was shooting across the street into that country music festival. So it’s really funny. I compare it to two things, right? I compare it to Casino, which is this famous Scorsese film from that mobster era, which everybody knows about. And actually, Frank Collado was in. He had a cameo in that. Yeah, that’s funny. But then the other thing I compare the book to is Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, which is obviously this sort of towering literary novel. But the parallel is just dealing with this aftermath of violence, right? What happens when you kill somebody and what’s the sort of dealing with guilt and fear and the consequences. [19:44]Exploring Themes of Violence [19:40]So I’d say those are the sort of things I point to as parallels for the book. I don’t know. There’s a lot more to say. Like you’ve said, it’s grounded in true life crime, but it’s also definitely fiction. I’ve made up the better part of it. Yeah. [19:54]All right. Aaron Mead. The book is Body in the Barrel. Aaron, I really appreciate you coming on the show. And guys, I’ll have links to this book down below. Yeah, thank you so much for having me. It’s been a pleasure meeting you and hearing some of your stories. And I’m enjoying your podcast. And it’s been a privilege to be on here. So thank you. Okay. We like to hear that. Thanks a lot, Aaron. [20:17]Yeah, thank you. Okay. Okay. I’ll do a little extra here in a minute. I just want to tell you something. When I went to law school at the police department and my favorite class was water law and I did my, you have to do a 50 page publishable paper to get out of law school. I did mine on Western water law and it was just, I was fascinated by that Western water law and all the things that go into that, the Rio Grande Pact and all the different political entities that are trying to use that water and how they use it. And then how the EPA rules and figured in on using water out West. And the fact that out West, they treated water like they treated gold or some other mineral. If you found the source, you owned it. Whereas they had riparian interest in [21:06]The Complexities of Water Law [21:03]laws back East here, where you have plenty of water. You can use all the water you want as long as you don’t reduce it. But nobody owns that source of water. [21:12]If it’s a big source, it’s just a fascinating topic. Yeah, it is a bit of the Wild West, like applies to water out West. It’s that first in time, first in right thing. It’s pretty crazy. The Colorado River especially is so complicated. You got seven, seven states take water from it. You got the federal government running the dams there. You’ve got Mexico that takes a portion of it. You’ve got this whole hundred year history of law layered on top of each other. And even today, the rules on how the water gets distributed are about to expire in this year. And so we’re trying to come up with new rules. And it’s just so tough because… [21:49]There’s less water in the river than there used to be, and so the old agreements don’t quite work out, and we’re having to take reductions, and, you know, who takes what? It’s just sort of a big mess, honestly. We’re fighting over it. I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up in court, honestly. But that would be not a good outcome, but it seems potentially likely. Yeah. There’s a judge I heard say once that, you better make a deal outside of my courtroom. If you come into my courtroom, my decision is not going to hurt everybody’s feelings with my decision. Yeah. And inevitably, like the folks, the special masters or whatever the justices are that are making the decisions, they don’t know as much about water as we do. If we can’t work it out, it’s going to happen. I know. And there are just so many pressures that are on it. And it’s tough. And plus, one thing we haven’t mentioned is a huge growth in population over the last 20, 30 years out there. It’s true. Yeah, it’s true. Yes, unbelievable how many people have moved to Phoenix and Albuquerque and Las Vegas, especially Las Vegas, but just being such a huge growth in population out. And before it was desert that nobody really, they didn’t live, they didn’t want to live out there. [22:55]It’s true. Yeah. And surprisingly, like in a lot of these cities, actually, the demand for water has not increased. Like in Las Vegas, it’s actually gone down. Oh, really? They have done an incredible job of conserving water. Same in Los Angeles. The demands for water have gone down despite the population growth. The thing that makes it challenging is that the whole pie is shrinking and it’s the agricultural use that’s the highest. I think it’s something like 85% or 80% of the water in the Colorado Basin is agriculture. And so, those are the things you’re going to need to find conservation there, which is harder. [23:30]Like those Israelis did, it was something called drip irrigation where they used, they were more skillful in the way they used their water in their fields down in the desert. Yeah, and some of the folks that’s been, some of the agricultural folks have been converting to that kind of irrigation for quite some time now. So, it’s like we’re wringing out every sponge we got and running out of options. But, yeah, we’ll figure it out one way or the other here. Yeah, I’m sure we will. This is America, after all. [23:59]Or is it still America? It’s hard to know. Yeah, it’s hard to know. We’re going down that path. Looking a little different these days. Yes, it is. Yeah. Oh, my God. Okay, Aaron, I really appreciate it. I’ll get in touch with you whenever I send an email with the links after I put them up. It’ll be, I don’t know. It’ll probably be a month or more before I get it up. Sure. I stay way ahead. I’ve got quite a few kind of scheduled up for the next two weeks now or three. Smart. Two weeks now, one just went up today. So I put it up, video, I put them up on Sunday evening, and then the audio comes out like 4 o’clock in the morning on Monday morning. Okay. Don’t ask me why. I just started doing that. Yeah. No worries. It gets ahead of everybody. Then they can see it. Hey, I’ve got a question for you, if you don’t, if you don’t mind. No. Do you know about any contemporary organized crime activity in Las Vegas? Is there still stuff going on or is it? I don’t. I really don’t. Yeah. Okay. [24:59]Trying to think of a source for you. I’ll check with a source for you. Okay. I know it’s not Midwest folks from your era, but yeah. Yeah, no, probably something up there out at Los Angeles and people that moved out there a generation ago and stayed under the radar. And then, of course, international. Yeah. Those like Russians and people like that out of Phoenix or in Los Angeles, both. Anyhow, I’ll check on that. Okay. Yeah. If you think of something, that’d be great. I’d be interested. Okay. Okay. I will. All right. Thank you. Thank you again. Take care. All right. Bye-bye. Can you go ahead and do, can you exit the meeting? I’m going to do a little ending thing here. I will. Yeah. [25:40]That was interesting, folks. I did Waterlaw in, well, that was interesting, folks. I really liked Aaron and I think his Body in the Barrel book is going to be pretty darn good. [25:53]Concluding Thoughts on Crime and History [25:50]So I’d recommend you try it. I haven’t actually read it myself. I’ve read excerpts from it. I’ve got it here. I need to sit down and take some time and read it. I like when they base it on the real life people and some people that I know something about. It’s kind of like hearing stories about your hometown. Oh, yeah, I know that guy. Oh, yeah, I remember when that happened. And it’s an interesting thing, the lowering of Lake Mead. He and I, he’s a water engineer, and he and I talked a little bit more about it. I find it a fascinating topic, that Western water law and Western water rights and how that all works. It’s different than back east where we have plenty of water. So don’t forget, I’ve got videos on Amazon Prime for rent. Just use my name and mafia, Gary Jenkins Mafia on Amazon Prime, and you’ll find them. And I’ve got books there. Do the same thing. Gary Jenkins Mafia books. I’ve got three books on Amazon and I’ve got them on my website. And I always appreciate when people make comments on my YouTube channel or on my Gangland Wire podcast page. We’re just here to report mob history. That’s all we want to do is report mob history. And in this case, we got a fictional book that’s reporting mob history based on real mob history. I’ll do that every once in a while, too. [27:07]So thanks a lot, guys. I always appreciate doing this show. It’s a way to end my life out, if you will. I’m down to that last quarter, maybe down to the last two minutes one of these days, but we’ll get there. Thanks a lot, guys.

3. Wicked Queens and the Sacrifice of Vestals (5)Southon discusses Tullia, the "wicked" opposite of Lucretia, who murdered her family to seize power and defiled her father's body. Her ambition served as a warning that monarchy breeds tyranny. The focus then shifts to the Vestal Virgins, such as Oppia, who were tasked with maintaining Rome's eternal flame. If bad omens occurred, a Vestal might be accused of unchastity and buried alive as a human sacrifice to appease the gods. Often, there was no evidence of wrongdoing beyond "unchaste" behavior like telling jokes or wearing nice dresses. (6)
