Family Vacation is a Lie

... or how I traveled with kids on summer break, and all I got was this grape snow cone. This week, the Dads talk about the season of family vacations. While these trips are a tremendous amount of work, all the research and our lasting memories suggest that, although these journeys aren't exactly vacations, the family trip is incredibly valuable to the family unit. This episode explores some of the research — both academic and anecdotal — that supports our theory that these trips are great for families (if only in the long term), as well as some of the great country songs that can help us through the grind of the summer family vacation or family trip.Show Notes01:08: How do we define the family trip vs. a vacation? Well, Google and the all-powerful AI summary help us out by delivering a clear and concise explanation. 02:08: Benefits of a Family Trip: While it's exhausting, research seems to back the idea of taking a family trip. It keeps our family talking, helps our kids learn and enhances the bond between partners, no matter what was said when the directions were not followed exactly. 03:58: The Brutality of Traveling With Children: As a Stay-at-Home-Dad and “Default Parent,” Dave feels that family trips are often like business trips. So it's just parenting on the road as you deal with the “brutality of traveling with children.”06:28: Content Warning: The first mention of vomit. 08:33: Content Warning: The second mention of vomit.9:39: Content Warning: The third mention of vomit.11:35: Family Team-Building on the Family Trip: The idea of working together as a family during these trips helps the family grow together -- working as a team makes you a better family. 12:46: Dave's Notorious Family Trip to Sequoia National Park and the Fisher Price Toy Lantern.14:50: What is the best place to stay during a family trip? The rental house vs the hotel seems to be the debate. While the space and privacy seem to win out, the breakfast buffet is a huge plus.20:40: Do Family Trips Need to Be Educational? Research suggests that educational trips make kids smarter, but do trips need to be explicitly educational for kids to extract value from the trip? The Dads touch on how just changing it up a bit, doing things you want to do and working through the difficulties on the road provides the real educational value — and how Dad Stories (read: lies about things on the side of the road) are critical. 27:32: Content Warning: The fourth mention of vomit. 29:50: Conquering the Family Trip: The Dads discuss packing, planning spreadsheets, and other key tactics. 32:19: Content Warning: The fifth mention of vomit, and this one is intense. 33:14: Giving our Kids a 90s Summer: Is this possible? Should it be? 40:27: The Songs of the Summer: The Dads debate the greatest country music for the summer. As well as a few songs for cleaning up vomit. 51:17: Change My Mind: Donnie attempts to change Dave's mind about using profanity in front of the kids. It's a great f**ing conversation.

Giant Mess podcast host Neal Lynch reviews Season 2 of HBO's "The Last of Us", which delivers a visually stunning, emotionally charged continuation, but does it live up to the hype? In this episode, Neal breaks down every major plot twist, from Joel and Ellie's fractured relationship to Abby's quest for vengeance and the divisive moments that left fans split. Lynch explores standout performances by Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, and Kaitlyn Dever, and examines why the season's ambition and production values sometimes clash with uneven pacing, softened character arcs, and an incomplete narrative.You'll hear a detailed episode-by-episode analysis, insight into the show's strengths and weaknesses, and a look at how audience and critical reception compares to the first season. Plus, Neal discusses the cultural ripple effects—like the surge in “zombie fungus” searches and the revival of classic songs—while comparing "The Last of Us" to other post-apocalyptic hits and games.

To celebrate 15 years of Koya — the quietly iconic udon bar that helped change the way London eats — we're joined by its founders: John Devitt and Shuko Oda.From early-morning queues to feet-kneaded noodles, we go behind the steam with the pair who brought serious broth and bounce to Soho. Shuko shares how a childhood in Japan shaped her savoury cravings, how miso soup became her first solo dish, and how Tokyo's obsessive Italian food scene first lured her into the kitchen.John reflects on what it took to build Koya as an outsider to the restaurant world, the challenges of scaling a niche, noodle-focused concept, and how a love of good service has shaped the way Koya welcomes people in. We hear about their early trips to Japan, the now-legendary specials board, and the tightrope walk of keeping things consistent while always evolving.We talk burnt soy wings, kimchi holidays, and what it means to work in restaurants where holidays don't exist — plus what makes a good noodle, how Koya scaled without losing its soul, and why Shuko still finds comfort in the simplest rice ball.It's a portrait of a restaurant that's quietly influenced a generation — and the story of two people who put in the hours, trusted their instincts, and let the food do the talking.----------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.

He joins us to discuss the intricacies of Syria's political history from 1946 to the present, including the impact of French colonial rule, frequent coups, the United Arab Republic, the rise and governance of the Ba'ath Party, and the shift towards crony capitalism in the 2000s. Abboud shares insights on the lived experiences of Syrians through various political changes, the role of the military, and the economic philosophies underpinning different regimes. He also delves into the contemporary relevance of this history and offers a reading list for those interested in learning more about Syria.00:00 Introduction 02:27 Overview of Syrian Political History02:56 French Colonial Rule and Frequent Coups08:21 United Arab Republic (UAR) and Its Impact16:43 Ba'ath Party and the 1963 Coup30:55 Brutality and Efficiency of the Regime33:36 21st Century Syrian Politics41:16 Role of Security Apparatus and Loyalty47:38 Journalistic Perspectives on Syria57:49 Recommended Readings and Films on SyriaSamer Abboud is Associate Professor of Global Interdisciplinary Studies at Villanova University and the author of Syria (Polity, 2018), a book that explores the outbreak and trajectory of the Syrian uprising. His research is broadly interested in warfare in Syria and the emergence of an illiberal post-conflict order in the country. He has recently published articles in journals such as Citizenship Studies, Peacebuilding, Middle East Policy, and The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding that explore themes of illiberalism, post-conflict order, knowledge production, and Syrian reconstruction. His current research project is interested in the production of fear as a central mechanism of political rule prior to, and during, the period of the conflict, and how Syrians have differentially envisioned and acted upon this fear in cultural production.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with sociologist Assaf Bondy and human rights researcher and historian Adam Raz about what they call the "lexicon of brutality," drawing from a recent book the pair published in Hebrew on the language that Israelis use to discuss Palestinians and, specifically, the Israeli war on Gaza. The trio also talk about whether Israel has ever been a democracy and what people in Israel who oppose the genocide can do to resist it. Ha'aretz newspaper published this interview with Bondy in Raz in May 2025: "'Depopulation,' 'Kill Zone,' and 'Second Nakba': The Lexicon of Brutality Exposes How Israelis Talk About the War."  Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a 2025 Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine. He also currently serves on the board of the Independence Media Foundation. His work has been published in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and elsewhere. He earned a BA at the University of Pennsylvania and an MPP at Harvard University. Dr. Assaf Bondy is a Labour Sociologist at the University of Bristol who studies the political-economy of employment relations in advanced economies. Bondy's work has been so far dedicated to the study of changing conditions for collective actions and its changing forms and effects – on workers' rights, on inequality, on the structure of employment relations and on the political economy.  Adam Raz is a human rights researcher and historian whose field of research is the political history of the twentieth century and Marxist thought. In recent years Raz has written several books on the history of nuclear weapons in Israel and the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Among his books in Hebrew are: The Struggle for the Bomb (2015), Herzl: The Conflicts of Zionism's Founder with Supporters and Opponents (2017), Kafr Qassem Massacre: A Political Biography (2018), The Military Rule 1948-1966 (2021). In English, he has published The Demagogue – the Mechanics of Political Power (2023) and Loot: How Israel Stole Palestinian Property (2024).

Routine checkups aren't supposed to flip your world upside down. But for Korrie Medina, they did. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Korrie to talk about what it means to keep living your life while battling cancer.Korrie opens up about the shock of her diagnosis, the rollercoaster of treatments—chemo, radiation, brachytherapy—and the way cancer doesn't just touch your body, but everything: your mind, your relationships, your career. Lyndsay shares her own story too—what it's like to go through the medical system, the emotional fallout, and how women are so often expected to just keep going no matter how brutal it gets.They talk about the messiness of it all—how cancer can change your life in a heartbeat, how asking for help feels like a risk, and how it's easy to lose yourself in the chaos. But they also talk about strength: how to hold on to joy, to find moments of light, and to keep moving forward even when you're running on fumes.This episode is real, raw, and a reminder that no matter what you're going through, you're allowed to take up space and put yourself first.Find Korrie Medina Online Here:Instagram: @korrieanneFacebook: Korrie MedinaFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(03:19) Cervical Cancer Diagnosis Journey(04:07) Understanding Cancer Staging and Treatment Options(10:08) The Hybrid Approach to Healing(12:33) Chemotherapy Experience and Its Effects(18:12) Emergency Surgery and Its Complications(23:27) The Importance of Mindset in Healing(25:19) Embracing Happiness Amidst Struggles(26:18) The Mind-Body-Soul Connection(27:39) Navigating the Aftermath of Treatment(28:38) Understanding Brachytherapy(30:36) The Brutality of Medical Procedures(31:32) The Aftereffects of Radiation(33:45) The Reality of Menopause(35:45) Hormonal Imbalance and Mental Health(37:40) Reaching a Breaking Point(39:09) Seeking Help in Crisis(41:31) Reflections from the Psych Ward(43:40) The Importance of Self-Care(45:49) Empowering Women Through Adversity

Journey into the gritty, unfiltered reality of modern combat as we dive deep into A24's “Warfare,” the latest harrowing war film from Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza. In this discussion, we unpack the film's raw authenticity, emotional impact, and unique production—from its absence of a traditional soundtrack to the real-life experiences that inspired it. With personal reflections on war, politics, and the true cost of conflict, this film brings a much-needed, human perspective to the stories most war movies dare not tell.What to expect from the episode:An in-depth discussion of "Warfare" (2025), focusing on its raw depiction of the Battle of Ramadi, the filmmaking choices that heighten its realism, and its origins as a healing tool for real-life veterans.Critical reflections on the psychological impact of war, the absence of political messaging in the film, and how media shapes public perception of conflict, patriotism, and military service.Lively conversation about the cultural context of post-9/11 America, personal connections to war media, and the importance of confronting the human cost of war—plus a recommendation on who should (and shouldn't) watch this harrowing film.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 - Welcome & Foreword00:01:21 - Alex Garland, Real Stories, & Real Wounds00:06:44 - Cultural Impact and National Identity Post-9/1100:17:21 - Cinematic Sound and Realism00:18:55 - In the Eye of Battle00:24:43 - Political Costs and Misguided Wars00:39:19 - Hidden Scars and Trauma00:46:01 - Beyond Propaganda and Embracing a Neutral Lens00:54:13 - Final Words & Outro-----Listen to Cam Lewis on his podcast Refused Flank.Check out Cam's films at BearSprout Films.

  Dr. Phil Primetime confronts the harrowing reality of individuals whose lives are shattered in an instant by unexpected acts of brutality they never saw coming.   This episode exposes a growing surge in unprovoked, violent attacks that have reached a breaking point in our society.  The disturbing lack of respect for fellow humans, fueled by a breakdown in societal norms and the glorification of violence on social media, has pushed us to the edge. This epidemic of brutality is a societal fracture that demands urgent understanding of the psychology behind it if we are to reverse the damage and reclaim a sense of safety in our communities. Dr. Phil features three shocking incidents, a victim of Tesla terrorism in Northern California, a bride-to-be brutally assaulted by an ex-con during her bachelorette weekend in Dallas and a follow up - the aftermath of one woman's brutal beating in 2022 in a New York subway station.

We have spent nearly a century trying to make another gangster movie this good and some could argue we haven't done it yet. Being released before the Hay's code allows this movie to really speak it's mind and it does. With its loud commentary about the state of the US, strong female characters, sex, openly gay characters and nuance this movie is the perfect reminder of what the code took from us. It's a cliche for a reason, they don't make them like they used to. THE HAYS CODE:  The "Don'ts" (Absolutely Forbidden) Profanity, including "God," "Jesus," or "hell" used irreverently. Nudity, in any form (including silhouettes). Illegal drug use. Sexual perversion (code word for homosexuality, fetishism, etc.). White slavery (human trafficking, especially of white women).

The "Be Carefuls" (Sensitive Topics Requiring Caution) Use of firearms. Theft, robbery, and safe-cracking. Brutality and gruesomeness. Techniques of murder. Sympathy for criminals or crime success Adultery, if presented sympathetically or explicitly. Seduction. Sexual relationships outside of marriage. Excessive kissing or lustful embraces.

In this visceral and thought-provoking episode, extreme horror author Lesley Camphouse joins Vincent Midgard to dive deep into her latest novel, Eternal Wives. They unpack the brutal cult at the heart of the story, discuss how real-world influences like Sister Wives and reformed communities helped shape its terrifying world, and explore how horror can push boundaries without losing narrative integrity.Lesley shares her writing process (hint: pure instinct and no outlines), her fascination with villainy, the unexpected reader reactions to her work, and how her professional background in content moderation and internet safety colors her dark imagination. From the psychology of cults to the weaponization of femininity, this conversation is as unflinching as the novel itself.Also covered: the power of ambiguity in horror, the importance of language in manipulation, and why Lesley avoids horror movies despite writing some of the genre's most disturbing fiction.Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Lesley-Camphouse/author/B0DSV3HTWX?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=ea9a52c0-a45c-4457-84be-e10c5f669e74Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorlacamphouse/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@authorlacamphouseBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/authorlacamphouse.bsky.social

Steve Bannon: Trump Is Waging ‘Economic Warfare' on the Chinese Communist Party This is the full version of Jan Jekielek's interview with Steve Bannon. The interview was originally released on Epoch TV on May 3, 2025. “Never before in history have two great trading entities ever engaged in outright economic warfare, like is being engaged today. And that's why I say we're living in historic times,” says Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist during President Donald Trump's first administration and host of the “War Room” show. “It's not just tariffs. They're a tool. [Trump]'s reorganizing the world system of commerce and of trade,” Bannon says. In this episode, we dive into the U.S.–China trade war, Trump's tariff strategy, his first 100 days in office, and where America is headed in the weeks and months to come. “The next 100 days are going to be three times more intense, dramatic, and meaningful than the first 100 days,” Bannon says.

Think hanging, drawing and quartering was as bad as it got? Think again.   In this chilling follow-up, we dive into some of the lesser-known but equally gruesome methods of execution used during the Tudor period. From boiling people alive to crushing them slowly under immense weight, the Tudors certainly knew how to make a statement.   Join me as I explore these brutal punishments and the stories behind them. Some were designed to instil fear, others to send a clear political or religious message—but all are harrowing reminders of a darker side to Tudor justice.   Which of these punishments do you find the most disturbing?

BRUTALITY OF SHOW BUSINESS:  8/8: Charlie Chaplin vs. America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided by  Scott Eyman  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Scott-Eyman/dp/1982176350 Bestselling Hollywood biographer and film historian Scott Eyman tells the story of Charlie Chaplin's fall from grace. In the aftermath of World War II, Chaplin was criticized for being politically liberal and internationalist in outlook. He had never become a US citizen, something that would be held against him as xenophobia set in when the postwar Red Scare took hold. Politics aside, Chaplin had another problem: his sexual interest in young women. He had been married three times and had had numerous affairs. In the 1940s, he was the subject of a paternity suit, which he lost, despite blood tests that proved he was not the father. His sexuality became a convenient way for those who opposed his politics to condemn him. Refused permission to return to the US after a trip abroad, he settled in Switzerland and made his last two films in London. In Charlie Chaplin vs. America, Scott Eyman explores the life and times of the movie genius who brought us such masterpieces as City Lights and Modern Times. “One of the finest surveys of the man and the artist ever written” (Leonard Maltin) this book is “a sobering account of cancel culture in action.” (The Economist) 1931
