This week on 2 Bears, 1 Cave, Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer celebrate Bert officially entering the Guinness Book of World Records for The Machine, possibly the most performed signature story in comedy history, and immediately spiral into the comedy record arms race: Shane Gillis' 77,000-person show, Nate Bargatze's 2 million tickets, the Dane Cook vs. Dave Chappelle longest-set war, and Bert's plan to lock 75,000 paid "hostages" inside Raymond James Stadium and perform for ten straight hours. Then the Bears respond to Stavros Halkias calling out comics who fly private, and explain why he's absolutely right: nobody gets funnier on a private jet. From there, Bert declares Busboys, the new Theo Von and David Spade movie, the greatest piece of art he's ever seen, and Tom finally watches The Odyssey, only for Bert to officially turn on it over the Travis Scott cameo. Plus: Gaddafi's all-female Amazonian Guard, plane-crash hypotheticals, Chimp Empire is the best reality show ever made, Mick Jagger on fame, and why the Bears are grateful they got famous late. 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 336 https://tomsegura.com/tour https://www.bertbertbert.com/tour https://store.ymhstudios.com Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:18 - Comedians Getting Guinness Records 00:07:24 - The Attendance Record Arms Race 00:18:09 - Stavvy Says Private Jets Don't Make You Funnier 00:24:25 - Lunch Pail Phonies & Staying Honest 00:35:39 - Busboys Is A Secret Masterpiece 00:41:55 - Tom Finally Saw The Odyssey 01:03:45 - Por Osos At Frenchies & MacDill 01:07:29 - The Sexiest Military & Plane Crash Hypotheticals 01:12:08 - Chimp Empire 01:15:26 - Leanne's Birthday & The Black Crowes 01:20:28 - Mick Jagger On Fame 01:24:18 - Wrap Up Learn more about your ad choices.

Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown and Co-host Liberty Jones No Vote, No Tax: Kymone Freeman's Fight for D.C. Statehood and Radical Accountability Michael D. Brown and Liberty Jones welcome Kymone Freeman for a wide-ranging conversation about D.C. statehood, tax resistance, Democratic Socialism, root causes of violence, poverty, food apartheid, housing justice, civic disengagement, and the urgent need for political courage in the nation's capital. Guest Spotlight: Kymone Freeman Kymone Freeman is the guest on this episode of Shadow Politics and is introduced as the founder of We Act Radio, an activist, and a candidate running in the general election as a D.C. Statehood Green Party candidate. Michael D. Brown describes Freeman as a longtime friend of the show and someone who has made Washington, D.C. a better place through grassroots work, while Freeman presents his campaign as a challenge to corporate Democratic leadership, political complacency, and the continued denial of full representation for D.C. residents. Find out more about Kymone Freeman's Campaign at his website: https://www.freeman4congress.com/ Shadow Politics Opens With a Grassroots Mission Michael D. Brown opens the episode by describing Shadow Politics as a grassroots talk show committed to making America think again. He explains that the show interviews people who are shaping politics and community life, often outside the brightest spotlight, and invites listeners to call in and engage. Liberty Jones joins as co-host, and Michael introduces Kymone Freeman as a returning guest whose activism, media work, and presence in Washington, D.C. have made him an important voice in the city's political conversation. Kymone Freeman's Campaign and the Statehood Green Party Freeman explains that he is running in the general election as a D.C. Statehood Green Party candidate after what he describes as a media blackout and resistance from the corporate leadership of the Democratic Party. He argues that progressive politics, Democratic Socialism, and challenges to the status quo are often excluded even within a party that claims to welcome a broad coalition. Freeman connects his campaign to the legacy of Hilda Mason, the D.C. Statehood Party leader and Democratic Socialist who once defeated a Democratic primary winner, suggesting that the current political moment may create another opportunity for history to repeat itself. “No Vote, No Tax” and Tax Resistance A major portion of the conversation centers on Freeman's “No Vote, No Tax” position. He argues that D.C. residents should not have to pay federal income taxes while being denied voting representation and statehood, comparing the District's situation to U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico and Guam. Freeman says he has personally been a tax resister for 30 years, both in support of D.C. statehood and as a war-tax resister. He presents tax resistance not only as protest, but as a pressure tactic that could move the statehood conversation forward if enough D.C. residents reached a critical mass. Root Causes of Violence, Poverty, and Food Apartheid Michael asks Freeman about addressing the root causes of poverty, and Freeman reframes the issue as addressing the root causes of crime and violence, with poverty as one of the central causes. He argues that poverty is man-made and maintained through policy, then connects violence to child poverty, illiteracy, food apartheid, lead pipes, poor nutrition, and public priorities that favor stadium spending over basic infrastructure. Freeman contrasts the number of grocery stores in wealthier Ward 3 with the lack of access in poorer Ward 7 and argues that D.C. must treat food, education, housing, and health as violence-prevention issues rather than relying only on police and prisons. Education, Chess, Housing, and Alternative Models Liberty asks what could help heal the roots of violence, and Freeman points to policy change, youth development, and structural investment. He discusses teaching chess to children as a way to build critical thinking and conflict-resolution skills, while also criticizing the difficulty of getting D.C. Public Schools to adopt chess more broadly. He also calls for grocery-store regulation, municipally owned supermarkets, community co-ops, and housing models inspired by places such as Vienna, Austria, where he says social housing and stronger safety nets help reduce poverty and crime. Freeman frames these ideas as part of a top-bottom political problem rather than a left-right divide. Democratic Socialism, Foreign Aid, and Civic Resistance The conversation broadens into Democratic Socialism, Zohran Mamdani, Israel, Netanyahu, diplomatic immunity, U.S. foreign aid, and the way narratives become normalized through political pressure. Freeman argues that intimidation and civic discouragement are designed to make people give up, pointing to low voter participation in D.C. as evidence of disconnection and resignation. He invokes Martin Luther King Jr.'s question, “Where do we go from here: chaos or community?” and argues that people must remain awake through major social change instead of sleeping through revolution. The hosts also discuss voter ID, the SAVE America Act, and how the term “woke” became a political weapon. D.C. Leadership, Campaign Priorities, and the Closing Call to Imagine Near the end of the episode, Michael asks Freeman about D.C.'s incoming mayoral leadership, Muriel Bowser's record, Janice's potential approach to Trump, and whether new leadership might better support statehood. Freeman says he expects change but will judge leadership by whether it stands ground or capitulates. He also promotes an upcoming town hall at Busboys and Poets, gives his campaign website, and explains additional priorities including a 30-percent cap on housing plus utilities and banning private equity from owning homes. Michael closes by dedicating John Lennon's “Imagine” to Freeman, describing him as someone who thinks big and imagines a better tomorrow.

The Trump administration ramps up its attack on journalists, freedom of speech, and the First Amendment, and dusts off a McCarthyite red scare attack on the left. We speak to Jon Jeter for this month’s episode of “On the Media.” DC residents protest a planned ICE headquarters in their neighborhood. Plus headlines:Iran escalation, Code Pink Disrupts Hegseth Testimony, Preliminary Autopsy Results in Nolan Wells Death, Police in Madison, Wisconsin Caught on Video Shooting Unhoused Man, Corey Ruiz, Three Times Point Blank in the Head. In culture and media: New documentary, “May There Always Be Words Between Us,” explores the DC open mic scene in the 1990s, showed to a standing ovation at the Martin Luther King Jr. Public Library. A staged reading of the play, “Roi and Mary,” about Black Arts Movement pioneer Amiri Baraka, written by his daughter Maria P. Jones, was held in Mt. Ranier Maryland. On the Ground’s very own contributor Lydia Curtis led a group of girls from Ward 8 on a cultural exchange trip to the nation of Colombia. And fresh back from reporting in Iran, Journalist Max Blumenthal spoke at Busboys and Poets about his trip, and about being detained at a U.S. airport and having his devices seized.

Chad and Natalie sit down with Matt Bowyer, the Orange County bookie at the center of the Shohei Ohtani gambling scandal, for the full story behind the headlines. Matt ran one of the largest illegal sports betting operations in the country for over 30 years. At his peak he had 1,250 clients nationwide, 48 agents, and processed over $1 billion in wagers in 2023 alone. He was also betting millions of his own money because gambling was his addiction and he was the house getting high on his own supply. The feds raided him twice. The first time was 2014, 14 agents, his daughter crying in the driveway, coming home from losing $800,000 in Vegas on March Madness. The case didn't start with Ohtani. The feds didn't even know about Ohtani. The case started with casino money laundering, led to Matt, and then his electronics told the rest of the story.He grew up watching his Vietnam vet father drink 40 beers a day until his mom divorced him after three failed rehabs. By 13 he was the top newspaper salesman in Orange County. At 16 he had a poker ring running out of his house. At 18, with his girlfriend pregnant and the family in a Dana Point mobile home, he got hired as a busboy at Chevys, got recruited to a commodities brokerage, passed the Series 3 exam as a mail boy, and was making $600,000 a year at 21. He bought back the house his family had lost. Then he got tired of giving his money to bookies.He currently owes $9.7 million in taxes at $60,000 a month in interest. Tax lien on his $5 million home. Two years probation, mandatory Gamblers Anonymous, mandatory drug dealer classes every week. And a new book dropping called Controlled Chaos. #TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 21, 2026 is: assiduous • uh-SIJ-uh-wus • adjective Assiduous is a formal word that means “showing great care, attention, and effort.” // Thanks to the assiduous efforts of the local land trust over many years, a substantial amount of whip-poor-will habitat is now protected from development. See the entry > Examples: “My mom was also assiduous about what we would today call food safety, avoiding anything that could possibly cause illness, especially raw meat: ‘Well done' was the norm for everything, and anything that could possibly go bad was kept in the fridge.” — James Martin, Work in Progress: Confessions of a Busboy, Dishwasher, Caddy, Usher, Factory Worker, Bank Teller, Corporate Tool, and Priest, 2026 Did you know? While assiduous means “showing great care, attention, and effort,” and in some situations may be an appropriate substitute for careful, it's got a bit more oomph than careful in that it suggests a dogged or tireless persistence. If you are assiduous in your efforts (or work, research, analysis, training, preparations, etc.) for example, it's implied that you're in it for the long haul, or that you have the ability to “sit with” a task or challenge for a considerable amount of time. This idea is fitting given that assiduous comes from the Latin verb assidēre, meaning “to sit beside.”

Catholics have been thinking about vocations for a long time—and not only in terms of becoming a priest or member of a religious order. The Church teaches that every person is called by God to do something particular, to play some unique role in the ongoing creation and salvation of the world.  But what happens when our working lives don't align with our true vocations? What should we do when we find ourselves stuck doing jobs we don't like? Fr. James Martin knows something about that, having spent his teenage summers and most of his twenties doing a variety of odd jobs. It's the subject of his new book, Work in Progress: Confessions of a Busboy, Dishwasher, Caddy, Usher, Factory Worker, Bank Teller, Corporate Tool, and Priest.  On this episode, Fr. Martin joins associate editor Griffin Oleynick to speak about what that work has meant to him, and how he still draws from its lessons in humility and grace. Plus: Heidi Schlumpf reports on the latest developments in American Catholicism, including the Trump administration's conflict with the Vatican, the recent rise in Catholic conversions, and the fiftieth anniversary of the Women's Ordination Conference.  For further reading: Ryan Burge on the “great sort” in American religion Heidi Schlumpf on the Women's Ordination Conference Massimo Faggioli on “cool” Catholicism and new baptisms

Step into Episode 209 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Chef Kyle, the James Beard Award finalist and Executive Chef behind Chula Seafood — one of Arizona's most celebrated seafood concepts. From bussing tables at a small-town steakhouse in Payson to earning the culinary industry's highest honor, Kyle's journey is equal parts discipline, humility, and an unwavering commitment to letting great fish speak for itself.This conversation goes deep on what it actually takes to build and sustain a people-first kitchen culture — from the early mentor who challenged Kyle to apply the same discipline to cooking that he had for golf, to nine years of growing with Chula across multiple locations. Kyle breaks down the daily realities of running a fresh seafood restaurant where the menu literally changes every day, the team collaborative approach to dish development, and why consistency and reliability are the two highest skill sets he looks for in anyone walking through the door. You'll also hear about Chula's wholesale seafood operation, the supply chain from their boat in San Diego to the Valley, and what's coming next with a brand-new Arizona Center location — and you heard it first, a possible Delo bowl.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 1:41) Episode Intro: Music, Kitchen Vibes & Meeting Kyle(1:42 - 3:57) Growing Up in Payson: Small Town Roots, Family, and What Drives the Fire(3:58 - 6:01) From Golf Dreams to Busboy: How Hospitality Found Kyle(6:02 - 9:19) First Kitchen Mentor, Culinary School vs. Paid Experience, and Learning Discipline the Hard Way(9:20 - 11:43) Mentoring the Next Generation: Consistency, Reliability & Showing Up Right(11:44 - 15:17) Inside the Chula Kitchen: Communication, Line Checks & Building a People-First Team(15:18 - 17:10) Staff Growth, Retention & Teaching People to Run a Business, Not Just a Restaurant(17:11 - 22:25) Nine Years with Chula: How Kyle Joined, the Juan Connection & the James Beard Nomination(22:26 - 25:13) Food Philosophy: Letting the Fish Lead, Collaborative Menu Development & Fresh Seafood in the Desert(25:14 - 28:48) New Arizona Center Location, Seafood Events & Chula's Wholesale Supply Chain from San Diego(28:49 - 30:07) Transferable Skills, Margins & Kyle's Personal Non-Negotiables(30:08 - 35:55) Rapid Fire: Fishing vs. Golf, Desert Island Fish, Poke Origins, Bigfoot, Pizza & Sunday Happy Hour

This week on Radio Labyrinth, Hollywood might want to check its ego—because the next generation of filmmakers didn't come up through film school… they came from YouTube.We break down the growing trend of digital creators making the jump to major studio projects, from Markiplier topping the box office with Iron Lung to indie creators landing massive franchises like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Is this the future of filmmaking… or just Hollywood chasing the algorithm?Also this week:* The bizarre (and very real) possibility of Tim Heidecker helping reboot InfoWars under The Onion banner* Backlash over Euphoria pushing boundaries (or just pushing buttons?)* Early reactions to the Michael Jackson biopic Michael* A packed Trailer Trash segment featuring Super Troopers 3, Godzilla Minus Zero, Busboys, and more* Plus Views or Snooze? with the latest streaming picks including Stranger Things: Tales From '85 and moreFrom Hollywood gatekeeping to YouTube disruption, we're asking the big question—Are creators replacing directors… or just rewriting the rules?

Today, we're honored to share a conversation with Father James Martin, a Jesuit priest, a New York Times bestselling author, and the founder of Outreach, a ministry for LGBTQ Catholics.His new memoir is called Work in Progress: Confessions of a Busboy, Dishwasher, Caddy, Usher, Factory Worker, Bank Teller, Corporate Tool, and Priest. And yes, he held every one of those jobs before he found his calling. But beneath the laughs, this book is really about the slow, unglamorous, often uncomfortable work of transformation.In our conversation today, Father Jim talks about growing up desperate to be liked—and what it took to become someone willing to speak up and make waves when it matters. We talk about the difference between kindness and people-pleasing, about staying connected to religious institutions that can both nourish and wound us, and why he believes doubt is a natural part of a living, growing faith.In a moment when so many public voices feel reactive and divisive, Father Jim stands in conviction without losing compassion—offering a steady, grounded wisdom that feels deeply needed right now.Come to Raising Little Saints: A Faith Matters Family Night! RSVP here.
