Judi Therianos and Missy Bevers had nothing in common except for the fact they were both beloved women and mothers who were murdered, senselessly, in 2016. Their murders didn’t have much in common, either. One got the usual local coverage, the other was an internet sleuth sensation. One was solved fairly quickly, the other, 10 years later, is still as much of a mystery as it was in 2016. But they both left devastated family and friends in their wake, and their homicides and the aftermath say something about the bigger picture 10 years ago — in a lot of ways, little has improved. To commemorate our 200th episode, we look at the two homicides from 2016, the same year we started this podcast.

Listener stories, sumo news, and a bit of sumo history. Sumo is headed to France for a sumo tour, and we are awaiting all the Eiffel Tower rikishi photos. Until they start to appear on social media, we talk about Kitanoumi, the "hatefully strong yokozuna." A proper sumo fan needs to know some sumo history, and with that in mind, we present Kitanoumi, a HUGE sumo star from the 1970s. Dominant, terrifying, humorless but absolutely dedicated to sumo, he was a yokozuna, oyakata, and head of the Japan Sumo Association throughout his life. BINGO!

If it feels like it's been a while, well, it has. Friend of the pod Joe Chatz makes it worth the wait, however, as he joins John and Tim to talk about all that's happened since last time, starting with Hugo Cuypers and Mbekezeli Mbokazi's first XI All-Star nods.After that, they switch focus to USMNT's friendly against Germany and find things to like even though the game ended in a 2-1 defeat — starting with the fun atmosphere that temporarily made Chicago the center of the country's soccer attention.Then the trio moves on from the game that was to the games to be played, with the World Cup finally upon us. There's a lot of Fire connections to be made with a record three active players going from Chicago to the world's biggest stage, and the trio break down what to expect from the Bafana Bafana, Canada and the USMNT in their tournaments — and talk about the rise of Fire homegrown Brian Gutiérrez and Mexico, starting with the tournament's opening match that pits Guti against Mbokazi.

At first no one in central-eastern Ohio connected the killings — they were hunters, outdoorsmen, a jogger — all shot by someone who left no trace between 1989 and 1992. When they finally arrested Thomas Dillon for five murders, law enforcement was happy to leave it at that. But it was clear that Dillon’s carnage stretched far beyond the rural counties of that area of Ohio. Maureen presents. We also have updates on the arrest of Stephen Bouchard in the 1987 Maine murder of Alice Hawkes, and the latest on Maine’s favorite perv, Eliot Cutler. Rebecca gives the NNW treatment to the Netflix series “Clickbait.” To check out Maureen's Maine-based Bernadette “Bernie” O’Dea mystery novels, including the award-winning (seriously!)

Matt Shableman is joined by Alan, the Pole with the Goal, the Sax in the Section, Królikowski, special guest Nick Poteres of Glass House Soccer and Matt's very own groomsman and guiding light, Eray, to talk about a soccer club that is not playing competitive soccer right now. But that doesn't stop the guys from dreaming up a scheme to grab a Championship in 2026. Maybe Ted Lasso was onto something when he told us, "It's the hope that will kill ya," but I'm writing this and am on team cup in '26! This month, we asked you all to vote on if Barroso should go-so, if Franco's new ACL will be as good as his last ACL, and which Fire superstar will win when Brian Gutiérrez and Mexico take on Mbekezeli Mbokazi and South Africa at the World Cup.  John, host of The Bonfire, isn't given the chance to defend himself or the quality of folk hero Johnny Dean in the wake of the Fire's growing stature. Sorry John. The Golden Arches are finally coming to Chicago (strictly in terms of stadium naming rights), something that the World Cup could never do. Recorded LIVE on May 27, 2026.

The Exciting World of Sumo: Highlights from the May 2026 Basho Discover the thrilling moments from the May 2026 Basho, including poetry, bingo winners, and sumo insights. Perfect for sumo enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The Art of Sumo Poetry: Celebrating Wakatakakage One of the most fun ways to celebrate the beloved rikishi, Wakatakakage, is through poetry. Our listeners often participate in a "sexiest rikishi" poll, sharing their thoughts in poetic form. We share a few selected pieces. These poems showcase the affection fans have for this talented sumo wrestler, bringing an artistic twist to our discussions. Sumo Bingo: A Global Celebration During the May Basho, we hosted an exciting Sumo Bingo game that attracted 491 players globally. Our winners were from Japan, Singapore, and Scotland, and their bios highlight the diverse backgrounds of sumo fans and how the sport transcends borders, uniting enthusiasts from all walks of life. In this basho, several prominent rikishi were sidelined due to injuries, so the competition was wide open, leading to some surprising outcomes. Question: What makes Wakatakage so popular? Wakatakakage is considered a master of sumo technique, having won the Technique Special Prize 7 times. After winning his first yusho, he suffered a major knee injury and was demoted to the makushita (unpaid) division of sumo. After healing, he climbed back through the ranks to reach the highest levels of sumo again. His impressive skills and dry personality have endeared him to fans, as reflected in the poetry shared during our discussions. BINGO!

The Bonfire is back from a week off, during that time Big Jay killed at the Roast of Kevin Hart. He gives all the behind-the-scenes details about his performance at the famous event. Before the roast, Jay was invited to a party at the home of Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos. Bobby convinced him to go, so Jay got a spray tan and put on his best Cashmere hoodie. He was glad he did because the guest list included Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy, and Bobby's old friend Dane Cook. Not everyone enjoyed the roast and DL Hughley actually implied that Jay is a racist! *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

Episode 16 - Mike Finoia: The Comedy of Conscious Aging Do you ever feel like aging is a mysterious portal trapped with an existential void? Well, I do. But after Mike dropped into this episode of the podcast my own fears have softened and evolved into a much wiser and softer view of the whole thing. Mike shares some of his most recent psychedelic experiences and how they have brought him closer to his own brand of conscious aging.

The Fire closed the first half of their season on a high note, getting a hard-fought 2-1 win over visiting Toronto FC. Before getting into that, though, John and Tim get struck with World Cup fever and ask if Poch is even bothering to phone it in with the USMNT. When they actually get down to the game at hand, the hosts find a lot to like from a gritty performance. From Robin Lod's improved form, resulting in the opening goal, to Berhalter making adjustments at half that finally seemed to tighten things up with the 4-4-2, all the way to Djé's strong performance off the bench, John and Tim take a lot of positives from a game that was far from the prettiest game on the pitch in the Fire's last game for a month and a half.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Joshua Bate, founder of Bonfires.ai and DeciWorld, for a wide-ranging conversation covering knowledge management, graph technology, ontologies, decentralized science, and the future of how humans organize and share information. They break down the differences between personal and enterprise knowledge management, explore why flat ontological graphs may be the key to making diverse knowledge bases interoperable, and get into why traditional RAG systems break down at scale and how graph RAG offers a more principled solution. The conversation expands into the philosophy of categorization, the slow death of basic "gentleman science" under institutional pressures, and how decentralized protocols might restore a kind of mycelial knowledge network connecting small groups of researchers, enthusiasts, and communities — much like the original spirit of the encyclopedia before it was co-opted by institutions. You can learn more about Joshua's work at bonfires.ai and deci.world or follow him on X at @Bonfiresai and @DeSciWorld.Timestamps00:00 - Stewart introduces Joshua Bate, founder of Bonfires.ai, discussing personal versus enterprise knowledge management and their fundamental differences at scale.05:00 - Joshua explains ontologies as classifiers for knowledge structures, describing their two-year search for a perfect ontology and ultimately building a flat, ontology-less graph protocol.10:00 - Stewart connects categorization to shamanic practice and intercategorical theory, noting how major companies like Netflix and Yahoo built graph-based ontologies while the discipline remains underappreciated philosophically.15:00 - Joshua traces Bonfires origins through decentralized science, explaining how NFT community excitement inspired redirecting capital toward funding unconventional researchers locked out of institutional systems.20:00 - Joshua describes building federated knowledge networks through hackathons and conferences, comparing the vision to what Wikipedia could have been with decentralized incentive structures.25:00 - Discussion shifts toward inevitable collapse of rigid scientific institutions, debating patchwork age theory, nation-state fragmentation, and rhizomatic versus arboreal knowledge structures.30:00 - Joshua articulates the mycelial network vision, enabling direct cross-cultural information access where individuals control their own narrative lens, warning against collective we thinking and authoritarianism.Key Insights1. Knowledge management exists on a spectrum from personal to enterprise, but the founder of Bonfires argues this split is artificial. He believes knowledge itself does not respect those boundaries, and that small groups, researchers, hobbyists, and large institutions all possess knowledge that can and should interoperate with each other.2. After two and a half years of searching for the perfect ontology to structure their knowledge graph, the team concluded that no perfect ontology exists. Their solution was to build the flattest possible graph structure with only events, entities, and edges, creating a base layer others can build specialized ontologies on top of.3. Graph-based knowledge systems are more efficient than traditional databases for AI traversal because once a graph is computed, it is relatively free to query. Graph RAG combines the discovery power of vector search with the structured precision of graph traversal, solving many hallucination problems associated with standard retrieval augmented generation.4. Basic scientific research, the soil from which applied discoveries grow, is deteriorating because institutional funding structures only reward commercially viable outcomes. The founder built his platform partly to redirect community-driven capital toward researchers who are doing important work without institutional support.5. The institutionalization of science has historically blocked the open exchange of ideas that drove the original scientific revolution. The human spirit for open inquiry has not changed, but people cannot pursue it without financial support, and building decentralized infrastructure could restore that possibility.6. A federated knowledge network would allow individuals to access information from any contributor and filter it through their own preferred lens, rather than receiving information pre-filtered by centralized platforms. This represents a form of information symmetry similar to how mycelial networks distribute nutrients across a forest.7. The concern is not whether current scientific and governmental institutions will change but in what direction the rebuilding goes. Those capitalizing on the transition carry the same incentives as the previous era, which risks reproducing the same problems inside new structures.

For a show that doesn't book many guests that aren't comedians, the Bonfire scored a young rocker and a former young gun in one live show. Lou Diamond Phillips has an impressive body of movie and television work. Yungblud has an impressive body that Bobby can't get enough of.
