Ikke si det til noen," sto det.En: "Meet me by the climbing wall after school. Don't tell anyone," it said.No: Skriften var kjent. Det var Sondres.En: The handwriting was familiar. It was Sondre's.No: Eirik ble forvirret.En: Eirik was confused.No: Han visste at Sondre hadde virket merkelig den siste tiden, men kunne ikke forstå hvorfor han ville skjule kostymet.En: He knew Sondre had seemed strange lately, but he couldn't understand why he would hide the costume.No: Med notatet i hånden bestemte han seg for å konfrontere Sondre.En: With the note in hand, he decided to confront Sondre.No: Da skoletimene var over, fant Eirik Sondre alene ved den solfylte klatreveggen.En: When the school day was over, Eirik found Sondre alone by the sunlit climbing wall.No: "Hvorfor, Sondre?" spurte Eirik rolig, og viftet med notatet.En: "Why, Sondre?" asked Eirik calmly, waving the note.No: Sondre så ned og gned seg i nakken.En: Sondre looked down and rubbed his neck.No: "Det var aldri meningen å skape trøbbel," svarte han lavt.En: "It was never meant to cause trouble," he answered softly.No: "Jeg ville bare at festivalen skulle bli litt mer... spennende.En: "I just wanted the festival to be a bit more... exciting.No: Og... jeg trengte at Astrid kanskje så meg litt mer, kanskje forsto at jeg også brydde meg."En: And... I needed Astrid to maybe see me a little more, maybe understand that I cared too."No: Eirik forstod.En: Eirik understood.No: Det var ikke ondsinnethet bak Sondres handlinger, bare et ønske om å bli sett.En: There was no malice behind Sondre's actions, just a desire to be seen.No: "La oss ordne dette sammen," sa Eirik.En: "Let's fix this together," said Eirik.No: Sondre nikket, lettet over å ha en venn ved sin side.En: Sondre nodded, relieved to have a friend by his side.No: Sammen returnerte de kostymet i tide for festivalen.En: Together they returned the costume in time for the festival.No: Astrid visste aldri hva som hadde skjedd, men hun var glad for at alle problemene ble løst.En: Astrid never knew what had happened, but she was glad that all the problems were resolved.No: Sommerfestivalen ble en stor suksess, og i løpet av den kvelden styrket Eirik vennskapene sine.En: The summer festival was a huge success, and during that evening, Eirik strengthened his friendships.No: Han oppdaget at han ikke bare var god til å løse mysterier, men også til å forstå og tilgi vennene sine.En: He discovered that he was not only good at solving mysteries but also at understanding and forgiving his friends.No: Våren i Oslo gikk over i sommer, men minnene fra årets festival og mysteriet knyttet vennene sterkere sammen enn før.En: Spring in Oslo turned into summer, but the memories of the year's festival and the mystery bound the friends more closely than before.No: Eirik stod frem som en tryggere person, klar for nye utfordringer med vennene sine ved sin side.En: Eirik emerged as a more confident person, ready for new challenges with his friends by his side.

Len Testa and Jim Hill break down a busy week in theme park news, from Bluey crowd control at Animal Kingdom to Universal's possible drone-show ambitions. Len also crunches the numbers on the best days to visit Magic Kingdom, because nothing says vacation like 22 million wait times and a spreadsheet with emotional damage. Then Jim digs into Disneyland's opening-day ticket scandal and why Walt Disney may have had very good reasons to sour on Western Publishing. NEWS • Disney's Animal Kingdom prepares for Bluey with a virtual queue and some serious toddler-capacity math. • Len explains why Sundays may be your best Magic Kingdom bet from January through July, while party season flips the calendar. • Disneyland's Autopia goes electric in 2027, raising questions about batteries, car design, and Tomorrowland's long-overdue tune-up. • Universal Orlando surveys guests about pets, which may hint at Secret Life of Pets possibilities in Florida. • A new Universal patent features an onboard animated figure, possibly a frog, possibly a nightmare with wheels.

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: Lisse Tulip Caper: Families, Flowers, and a Surprise Contest Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2026-05-16-07-38-19-nl Story Transcript:Nl: Het was een levendige lentedag op de tulpenboerderij in Lisse.En: It was a lively spring day at the tulip farm in Lisse.Nl: De lucht was helderblauw en de velden waren gevuld met talloze toeristen die foto's maakten van de kleurrijke rijen tulpen.En: The sky was clear blue, and the fields were filled with countless tourists taking photos of the colorful rows of tulips.Nl: In dit schilderachtige tafereel verzamelden de familieleden zich voor hun jaarlijkse, ietwat ongemakkelijke reünie.En: In this picturesque scene, family members gathered for their annual, somewhat awkward reunion.Nl: Sven, de oudste neef, stond op een kleine heuvel en keek om zich heen.En: Sven, the eldest cousin, stood on a small hill and looked around.Nl: Hij had één doel voor ogen: de meeste tulpen plukken zonder dat de boer het zou merken.En: He had one goal in mind: to pick the most tulips without the farmer noticing.Nl: De onofficiële familiewedstrijd was altijd een hoogtepunt, al was het een geheime.En: The unofficial family contest was always a highlight, albeit a secret one.Nl: Anika en Bram waren bij de ingang.En: Anika and Bram were at the entrance.Nl: Anika, Sven's nicht, was vrolijk gehumeurd en wilde dat iedereen een fijne dag had.En: Anika, Sven's cousin, was in a cheerful mood and wanted everyone to have a nice day.Nl: Bram, Sven's jongere broer, was al bezig met wat kattenkwaad.En: Bram, Sven's younger brother, was already up to some mischief.Nl: Hij sloop tussen de bloemen door, zoekend naar manieren om plezier te maken.En: He sneaked among the flowers, looking for ways to have fun.Nl: Sven fluisterde zijn plan aan hen door.En: Sven whispered his plan to them.Nl: "Anika, jij moet de boer afleiden!En: "Anika, you need to distract the farmer!Nl: Bram, zorg ervoor dat niemand mij in die hoek ziet," zei Sven, wijzend naar de minder zichtbare delen van het veld.En: Bram, make sure no one sees me in that corner," said Sven, pointing to the less visible parts of the field.Nl: Anika zuchtte.En: Anika sighed.Nl: "Kunnen we niet gewoon genieten van de dag?"En: "Can't we just enjoy the day?"Nl: vroeg ze.En: she asked.Nl: Maar ze stemde in.En: But she agreed.Nl: De boer, een strenge man die zijn terreinen nauwlettend in de gaten hield, liep zijn gebruikelijke ronde.En: The farmer, a stern man who kept a close watch on his fields, was doing his usual rounds.Nl: Anika naderde hem met een glimlach en begon een gesprek.En: Anika approached him with a smile and started a conversation.Nl: Intussen rende Bram rond en maakte de toeristen aan het lachen met zijn koddige capriolen.En: Meanwhile, Bram ran around making the tourists laugh with his comical antics.Nl: Sven maakte gebruik van de situatie.En: Sven seized the opportunity.Nl: Hij sloop naar de afgelegen plek en begon snel tulpen te plukken.En: He sneaked to the secluded spot and started quickly picking tulips.Nl: Zijn hart klopte sneller toen hij de ene na de andere tulp binnenhaalde.En: His heart beat faster as he gathered one tulip after another.Nl: De mand werd voller.En: The basket grew fuller.Nl: Maar net voordat hij zijn laatste bloem kon plukken, hoorde hij een scherpe stem achter zich.En: But just before he could pick his last flower, he heard a sharp voice behind him.Nl: "Eindelijk betrapt!"En: "Finally caught!"Nl: riep de boer.En: the farmer called out.Nl: Sven stond stil, blozend van schaamte.En: Sven froze, blushing with embarrassment.Nl: Anika en Bram snelden naar hen toe, bezorgd om Sven.En: Anika and Bram rushed towards them, worried about Sven.Nl: De boer keek hen streng aan.En: The farmer looked at them sternly.Nl: "Dit kan ik niet toestaan," zei hij, een vinger zwaaiend.En: "I can't allow this," he said, waving a finger.Nl: Maar toen zag hij iets, de eenheid en de energie van de familie.En: But then he saw something, the unity and energy of the family.Nl: Zijn strenge uitdrukking verschoof naar een milde glimlach.En: His stern expression shifted to a mild smile.Nl: "Ik zie dat jullie enthousiast zijn," zei hij.En: "I see you all are enthusiastic," he said.Nl: "Waarom komen jullie niet morgen terug voor onze officiële tulpenplukwedstrijd?En: "Why don't you come back tomorrow for our official tulip picking contest?Nl: Iedereen is welkom."En: Everyone is welcome."Nl: Sven kon zijn oren niet geloven.En: Sven couldn't believe his ears.Nl: De boer keek hem aan.En: The farmer looked at him.Nl: "Maar geen geheime plannetjes meer," waarschuwde hij.En: "But no more secret plans," he warned.Nl: Met een opluchting die over zijn gezicht spoelde, realiseerde Sven zich dat het leuker was om samen met zijn familie te werken dan tegen hen.En: With relief washing over his face, Sven realized it was more fun to work together with his family than against them.Nl: Ze bedankten de boer en verlieten de velden, nu opnieuw aan elkaar verbonden door het avontuur van de dag.En: They thanked the farmer and left the fields, now reconnected through the adventure of the day.Nl: Het was een dag waarvan ze allemaal nog vaak zouden praten, maar nu niet over wie de meeste tulpen had geplukt, maar over de samenwerking en het plezier dat ze samen hadden gehad.En: It was a day they would all talk about often, but not about who had picked the most tulips, rather about the collaboration and fun they had together.Nl: De kleuren van de tulpen verbleekten niet in hun herinneringen, maar bloeiden steeds opnieuw op.En: The colors of the tulips did not fade in their memories but bloomed anew each time.

(The old AI generated episode summaries were much funnier than this but I guess it's techncially correct.) Two friends catch up after travels and big life changes, recounting joining the Coral Ridge Yacht Club, funny membership interviews, cruise stories, and neighborhood coconut antics. They also complain about Florida heat, missing turn signals, rising costs, and plan to return to true crime topics next, including a mysterious condo disappearance.
(Spoiler Section Length - 6min 50sec)One might expect the second Muppet Movie to follow in the tracks of its predecessor, another tale about the Muppets origins, perhaps them forming the Muppet Show or something like that. But instead Henson opted to create a genre film, a heist film combined with a full-blown musical, tap-dancing and water ballet galore. Does this unexpected direction yield enjoyable results, especially so many years later? Let's find out!

Transcript:Da: Foråret var kommet til København, og solen skinnede varmt ned over Kongens Have.En: Spring had arrived in København, and the sun shone warmly down on Kongens Have.Da: De nye, lysegrønne blade på træerne svajede let i vinden.En: The new, light green leaves on the trees swayed gently in the wind.Da: Græsplænerne var fyldt med familier og par, der nød dagen.En: The lawns were filled with families and couples enjoying the day.Da: Midt i alt dette sad Lars, Freja og Soren med deres picnictæppe, klar til at fejre påsken med en frodig kurv af delikatesser.En: Amidst all this, Lars, Freja, and Soren sat with their picnic blanket, ready to celebrate Easter with a bountiful basket of delicacies.Da: "Hvor er den lille tyvemonster?"En: "Where is the little thief monster?"Da: spurgte Lars spændt, mens han kiggede rundt omkring.En: asked Lars excitedly, as he looked around.Da: Han havde brugt dagen på at planlægge en snedig fælde for den berygtede egern, der havde ry for at stjæle mad fra picnickerer i haven.En: He had spent the day planning a cunning trap for the notorious squirrel known for stealing food from picnickers in the park.Da: Freja og Soren sad tæt ved siden af ham.En: Freja and Soren sat close beside him.Da: Freja kiggede skeptisk på Lars' plan, mens Soren havde travlt med at betragte fuglene, der fløj forbi.En: Freja looked skeptically at Lars' plan, while Soren was busy watching the birds flying by.Da: "Lars, tror du virkelig din fælde virker denne gang?"En: "Lars, do you really think your trap will work this time?"Da: spurgte Freja tvivlsomt.En: asked Freja doubtfully.Da: Lars nikkede med et glimt i øjet.En: Lars nodded with a twinkle in his eye.Da: Han havde placeret små skindende påskeæg og stykker af saftigt brød som lokkemidler nær tremmerne, han havde lavet af pap og snor.En: He had placed shiny Easter eggs and pieces of juicy bread as bait near the bars he had made from cardboard and string.Da: "Jeg vil bare se det egern en gang og måske være klogere end det," svarede Lars med et lille grin.En: "I just want to see that squirrel once and maybe be smarter than it," Lars replied with a small grin.Da: Soren vinkede af hendes tvivl.En: Soren waved off her doubts.Da: "Jeg tror, det kommer denne gang.En: "I think it will come this time.Da: Jeg føler det," sagde han ivrigt, mens han holdt udkig efter egernet.En: I feel it," he said eagerly, while keeping an eye out for the squirrel.Da: "Jeg kan prøve at kalde på det."En: "I can try calling it."Da: Pludselig lavede noget en raslende lyd tæt på dem.En: Suddenly, something made a rustling sound close to them.Da: Alle tre vendte sig straks mod lyden.En: All three immediately turned towards the noise.Da: Der kom en gruppe nysgerrige ænder vraltende hen til fælden, tiltrukket af de farverige æg.En: A group of curious ducks came waddling to the trap, attracted by the colorful eggs.Da: De begyndte at nappe til godterne, der var beregnet til egernet.En: They began to peck at the treats meant for the squirrel.Da: Lars sprøjtede lidt fortvivlet vand fra sin flaske på den nærmeste and, der væltede hans snare omkuld.En: Lars sprayed a little water from his bottle at the nearest duck that toppled his snare.Da: "Åh nej, ikke ænderne!"En: "Oh no, not the ducks!"Da: råbte han, mens ænderne grådigt forsynede sig med påskebordet.En: he shouted, as the ducks greedily helped themselves to the Easter feast.Da: Mens de tre venner forsøgte at redde resterne af deres picnic, dukkede egernet endelig op.En: While the three friends tried to salvage the remains of their picnic, the squirrel finally appeared.Da: Det stod fornøjet på en gren over dem og betragtede den komiske scene nedenfor.En: It stood contentedly on a branch above them, observing the comical scene below.Da: Pludselig sprang det adræt ned på jorden, greb et lille chokoladeæg og smuttede væk igen, mens det kvidrede muntert.En: Suddenly, it nimbly jumped to the ground, grabbed a small chocolate egg, and scampered away again, chattering merrily.Da: Lars kunne ikke lade være med at grine.En: Lars couldn't help but laugh.Da: "Jeg må indrømme, det er et smart egern," sagde han med et opgivende smil.En: "I have to admit, that's a smart squirrel," he said with a resigned smile.Da: Freja grinede også og sagde: "Det var i det mindste sjovt at prøve."En: Freja laughed too and said, "At least it was fun to try."Da: Soren klappede i hænderne og udbrød: "Jeg fik i det mindste at se det!"En: Soren clapped his hands and exclaimed, "At least I got to see it!"Da: På trods af kaosset og fiaskoen med fælden, indså de, at det sjove havde ligget i forsøget og eventyret lige så meget som i selve jagten.En: Despite the chaos and the trap's failure, they realized that the fun had been in the attempt and the adventure as much as in the actual chase.Da: Solen fortsatte med at skinne ned over dem, og grinet fyldte luften, mens vennerne pakkede resterne af deres picnic sammen.En: The sun continued to shine down on them, and laughter filled the air as the friends packed up the remnants of their picnic.Da: I dag havde de lært, at uanset resultatet var det vejen dertil, der skabte de bedste minder.En: Today, they had learned that regardless of the outcome, it was the journey that created the best memories.

When a Smithsonian archaeology intern opened a dusty box of bones in a Panamanian warehouse, she didn't expect to find a mystery, let alone a potential crime scene. But Nina Hirai's discovery of a tapir skull riddled with what appeared to be bullet holes sparked an investigation that would lead her several miles up the Panama Canal and nearly forty years into the past. Join us as we unspool the strange, unresolved story of a tapir named Alice, and ask what it means to live with uncertainty when the past refuses to explain itself.Guests:Nina Hirai, former archeology intern at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Nicole Smith-Guzmán, archeology curator at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Ashley Sharpe, research archeologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Aureliano Valencia (“Yeyo”), archeological research technician at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Phyllis (Lissy) Coley, professor emerita in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Utah and research associate at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Monica Brenes Lynan, former veterinarian at Parque Municipal Summit in Panama Andres Ramos, lider de guardabosques del Monumento Natural Barro Colorado / head park ranger at Barro Colorado Island

What happens when a legendary hip‑hop collective, a single ultra‑exclusive album, and one of the most hated men in America collide? This is the unbelievable true story behind the most valuable piece of recorded music ever made: Wu‑Tang Clan's "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin". Conceived as a protest against the collapse of music's value in the digital age, the album was recorded in secret over six years, packaged like a Renaissance-era artwork, and released as a one‑of‑one CD. But what started as a bold artistic statement quickly spiralled into a saga of eccentric millionaires, internet hoaxes, lawsuits, FBI raids, and one pharmaceutical villain known worldwide as the “Pharma Bro.” From clandestine studio sessions in Marrakech to the surreal plan for a Bill Murray–led heist, we unravel the twists, scams, cultural debates, and legal battles that turned "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" into the most infamous album of all time. And yes, the story is still unfolding. This is the wild, true tale of the Wu‑Tang album that became a federal asset, a meme, a lawsuit magnet, and a myth. Learn more about your ad choices.

Former Athletic and Puck exec Max Tcheyan is launching Caper, a media brand covering the power dynamics behind the restaurant world. Max explains why he thinks food media is where sports media was in 2016, how dining culture has become a status marker for the affluent, and why he's betting that the prosumer playbook that worked for Hollywood and DC coverage can work for hospitality. We also discuss the risks of building a niche publication for an audience that would rather eat than read.

Dave: Iron Man #3 (Josemaria Casanovas) Alex: Superman #36 (Rod Reis) American Caper Interview: Producer & Additional Writing Lazlow, Editor Shelly Bond, and Finishes Chris Anderson 1. Dan Houser described American Caper as being fueled by his fascination with “hypocrites, sociopaths, political idiots, dysfunctional families, and violence.” When you first saw the concept for this story, what immediately stood out to you as something that felt especially relevant to the moment we're living in? 2. The series pulls together a wild mix of characters. A Mormon hitman, a gambling-addicted lawyer, escaped convicts in love, a billionaire playing cowboy. How did you approach balancing such a large ensemble so the story feels chaotic in a good way rather than overwhelming? 3. Verona, Wyoming feels like a pressure cooker where crime, politics, and personal drama all collide. What was important to you in making this small town feel believable while still allowing it to host such extreme characters and situations? 4. The book leans hard into satire, sometimes feeling like it's taking shots at every side of the political spectrum. Was there ever a concern about walking that line between satire that provokes thought and satire that might alienate readers? 5. The story's interconnected crimes and morally gray characters gave me flashes of crime epics like 100 Bullets, where one event ripples across many lives. When building a narrative this tangled, how do you keep track of the cause and effect between characters? 6. Lazlow, your background includes storytelling in massive open-world games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. Did working on a comic require a different approach to pacing and structure compared to interactive storytelling? 7. (Fun question) If each of you had to survive in Verona, Wyoming for a week, which of these characters would you trust the most to have your back, and which one would you avoid at all costs?
