You are listening to Overtired and I am Christina Warren, and I’m joined as always by Jeff Severance Zel and, uh, Brett Terpstra couldn’t be, uh, here with us in this, uh, happy early 2026 episode, but I’m, I’m super excited to be able to kick off the, uh, the first pot of the year with you, Jeff, how are you? Jeff: I am good. Happy New Year to you. Christina: Likewise, likewise. Um, oh, here, here, here’s to 2026 being significantly better than 20, 25. So Jeff: So far, not so good, but I’m, I’m really, I’m really excited about 2026. I’m Christina: I was gonna say, like, like globally, globally, so far not great, but, but, Jeff: in here. Good in here. Personal Updates and Health Challenges Christina: So, um, so how are, uh, uh, how, how, how is the, I guess a, I guess we can kind of a drill into like a, a brief kind of mental health or, or just personal update thing if we want. Um, how, um. How are things for you so far? Um, I guess the end of the year. How are things with the kids? Um, the [00:01:00] wife, everything. Jeff: the, how the year ended is, and that gets us back to almost a political level. I will save for a topic ’cause boy do I have a story. Um, but, uh, generally speaking, doing really well. Like we traveled, saw my dad and stepmom in Iowa. Saw my in-laws in Indiana, had a really nice, just like generally had a really nice time off. Um, and despite the fact that I’m under a super stressful deadline over the next few days, I feel good. How about you? You got a lot going on. Christina: I, I do, I do. So I guess just kind of a, a, an, an update on, um, the, uh, the Christina, you know, cervical spine, um, saga since we last spoke a couple of weeks ago. Um, I guess maybe two weeks ago now. Um, uh, it was maybe a week ago. Um, uh, it was two weeks ago, I think. Sorry, it was, it was right before Christmas. Surgery Details and Insurance Woes Christina: Um, I was still awaiting, um, hearing back about when I would be scheduled for, uh, surgery and I’m getting, um, uh, artificial disc replacement in, um, I guess [00:02:00] between like C six, C seven of my cervical spine. And I do finally have a surgery date. Yay. Um, the bad, yeah, the bad news is it’s not until February 2nd, so I’ve gotta wait, you know, a month, which sucks. Um, I would have been able to get in, you know, uh, three weeks ago at this point. Um, had I been able to like, I guess like book immediately, but without insurance, like approval, um, I didn’t really want to do that. Um, I think, I think people, uh, can understand why, like, you know, when the doctor’s like, well, we can book you now, but you’ll just need to sign some forms that say you’ll be responsible for the bill if insurance doesn’t pay. Jeff: Oh fine. Get Where’s my pen? Christina: right, right. And I’m like, yeah, this is, you’re gonna keep me overnight just for, you know, observation to make sure like nothing bleeds or, or, or whatever’s a problem. Um, ’cause they’re gonna go through like the, the, the front of my, of my neck to, to be able to reach, you know, um, things that way and, and, and so, [00:03:00] you know, and be under, you know, anesthesia, you know, it’s, it’s, it’s not like a huge critical procedure, but it’s still neurosurgery. Jeff: is through the front of your neck. Christina: and, and, and, and, and, and again, and it’s a neurosurgeon and it’s like, you know, they’re gonna, you know, take some stuff out and try to make sure that like, you know, very, like they’re gonna be, you know, um, screwing up against my trachea and stuff. And like, yeah. I mean, like, you know, it’s, it’s not, it’s not minor. It’s not like I can just go in in an afternoon and be like, oh, I’m, I’m, I can just like walk out. Jeff: Right. Christina: Um, um, although apparently I will feel better, uh, as soon as it happens, but yeah, I mean, this is probably gonna be a six figure, you know, operation, I’m assuming so. No, I, I, I’m sorry. In, in this climate, uh, I don’t feel comfortable. Just, I need my name to be like, oh, yeah, I’ll, I’ll be responsible for that, and then be responsible for trying to track everyone down to, to pay. So that’s the frustrating thing is that, and now of course, you know, you, you get the beginning of the year, a bunch of people have been waiting, you know, to get, you know, things scheduled, I’m sure, and [00:04:00] whatnot. So I’m grateful that I’m scheduled at all. Um, I’m also grateful that right now I’m not insignificant pain, which is a really good thing because if this had been the pain level that I was in for the first few weeks, then like, I wouldn’t, I, you know, I mean, I would wait. I mean, if, if, if you have to wait, you have to wait. But, um, I, I, I might have like pressed upon them like. Is there any way we can move this up? Um, but I’m not in that position, which is good. The only thing is just that the numbness, um, on both arms. But, but, but primarily, yeah. No, I mean, that’s not gone away and, and it’s, and it’s not going to is the thing, right? Like there are a lot of people and like, and I, I’ve started now that I’ve got, got it like actually like done and like scheduled and you know, I’m going through all like the, you know, um, checklist stuff before you, you go in and whatnot. And I have like my, you know, pre-up appointments and all that stuff scheduled. Exploring Surgery Options and Recovery Christina: Um, I am starting to, to look more into, I guess like, you know, I guess recovery videos that people have put up on YouTube and, and reading a few things on Reddit. Although I’m doing my best to, to stay off the internet with [00:05:00] this stuff as much as possible. Um, just because for me it’s, it’s not beneficial, right? Like, it, it’s, it’s one thing if you know, um, you, uh, you don’t like. If, if you can separate and not kind of go down rabbit holes and like freak yourself out or whatever, sure. Maybe it can be good information, but for me, like I, I know my own kind of, you know, limits in terms of, of how much is good for me. And so I’ve, I’ve tried to keep that in moderation, but I have watched a few, you know, videos of people, you know, kind of talking about their experiences. And then of course then that gets used sent with like videos of like doctors who of course, for their own reasons, like are trying to promote like, oh, well you should do the, the, the fusion versus the, the, the disc replacement and, or you should do this versus that. And I’m like, okay. I actually watched one interesting talk that, that some guy gave it a medical conference and neurologist gave it a medical conference and it was a neurosurgeon, I guess is, is the proper term. But that I think kind of really distinctly a, it was very similar to. Exactly what my surgeon said to me, [00:06:00] um, when he was kind of explaining the differences in the procedures. Um, and, and b but kind of went into, I guess like the, the difference in terms of outcomes and, um, and it made me feel better about like that if I’m a good candidate for this procedure, that, that this is, um, the right thing to, to do and probably will be better for me long term. Um, because the, the results are, are better and, but not by a small portion, not like by like a, a gargantuan portion. But they are, they are, there is like a sizable difference between outcomes in terms of whether like the average person who needs a revision, um. For, you know, cervical spine versus getting, you know, disc replacement versus, um, uh, fusion. Fusion has been around a lot longer, and so insurance companies are a lot more likely to approve that. But in Europe, they’ve been doing the, the disc replacement stuff for 25, 30 years. Um, and so there is a lot of data on it, but it’s been a much more recent thing in the United States because insurance companies didn’t really start to do it until about five or 10 years ago. And so, and so, you know, some people will, [00:07:00] like some doctors who very clearly have an agenda on, on YouTube and like, that’s fine, like your practices, your practice and you’re comfortable with what you’re comfortable with. But they’ll be like, oh, we don’t have enough data on, you know, the types of, um, you know, discs that we’re putting in people’s, you know, necks and, and how, how long they, you know, last and, and there might be some differences in terms of if you’re doing like a multi-step, meaning you’re doing like multiple discs at once. Or if, you know, depending on like what, what, what part of the spine you’re in. And like, I, I think at this point for, for artificial disc replacement in the US they’ll do it two steps. So they can do two at once, but they won’t typically do three, although they will do three in Europe. And so there are people who will go to Europe and get the three Jeff: They’re so liberal in Europe. We’ll do three. Christina: Well, I mean, I think it’s a difference in, in that case, just a matter of like, if they’ve been doing the surgeries there longer, you know, then, then they, you know, and, and, and you know, and, and this is not uncommon in, in various forms of, of medicine, you know, where like you have different, you know, procedures and different exploratory things in different fields, in different areas.[00:08:00] So anyway, so then I get kind of trapped into those rabbit holes. But the interesting, the night, the, the, I guess comforting thing is that like, you know, I’ve been reading, you know, around reading, but watching people who were doing vlogs, like after their surgery and like there was this guy who. I was a few years younger than me, but he, you know, posted some updates. I, I guess he got his in July and he kind of did like, you know, updates, you know, kind of like, you know, this was me right after surgery. This was me, you know, three weeks later. This was me however many months later. And that was really great to see. Um, and, and his, his scar actually healed really nicely, which was encouraging. So, um, yeah, I mean, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m hopeful. I mean, the one thing that’s interesting that, like almost the universal thing that people say, of course you have a few people who say, this didn’t help or, or, you know, this, this was bad or whatever. And, and obviously like that’s always terrible to see that, but you know, you’d have to kind of like go by law of averages. But the, one of the central kind of things is a lot of people being like, I should have done this earlier. And, and so I’m feeling good about that because that is, I, I, I, I don’t know what this says about me, [00:09:00] but like there’s was never a moment in my mind where I’ve been like, oh, I’m not gonna get the surgery as soon as I can get the surgery. That’s never even been part of my like, thought process. And, and, and, and, and it’s funny because I think that like, that is actually odd compared to almost everybody else. Um, the general public, I guess, who goes into these sorts of things. Um, or at least the people who are vocal on the internet, right? So, so maybe like, maybe there are a lot more people like me who just don’t go to forums and comment on stuff and are just like, yeah, I’m gonna get the surgery because that’s what the doctor says. There’s the right thing to do, and that’s what makes sense to me and I wanna, you know, not be in pain and I wanna be able to feel my arm and all that stuff. Um, but there are a lot of people who, I don’t know why, um, I mean, I guess the idea of surgery is, is really scary. And, and like, I can, I can understand that obviously, but to the point where they’re like, okay, well no, I’m gonna try physical therapy and I’m gonna do everything I can to avoid surgical intervention. And I’m, I’m like, no. Like, like [00:10:00] freaking cut me up, doc. Right? Like, like, like, get me in, get me in. Like, let’s get better, right? Like, I, I’m not, I’m not here to like fuck around with like, ’cause right now, because the immediate pain is not there, I could be okay. Right? Like, I Jeff: Sure. Christina: try steroids, I could try pt, I could try to do other types of therapies and be like, well, maybe that will move the nerve around. Or maybe it can get the disc like UN you know, bolt, whatever the case may be. And maybe I won’t need surgery. Um, or I could let this go on longer and continue to be weakness, you know, and, and, and in, you know, it’s not like I’m not in, I’m, I’m not in active pain, but it’s not, not painful at certain times. Not worrying about is this just going to become like a permanent way that I feel, which would be. Awful. Um, and, you know, and, and, and like, it’s not the most debil debilitating thing, like I said. Um, if, if I was in a position where I, I couldn’t get surgery, obviously I could be okay right now, but you never know. Also, like, when is it going to, to swap again? Right? [00:11:00] Like, and, and, and, and for me, I’m also, I’m like, I, I don’t wanna have to like, live in fear of doing something, you know, to my arm or my neck or, or whatever, and, you know, making things worse. So, Jeff: right. Oh, I’m glad you’re doing it. Christina: yeah, me too. So anyway, that was a long-winded update, but Wow. Jeff: Yeah, that’s intense. So I’m really glad the pain is not what it was ’cause Holy shit. Christina: Yeah, the pain was, was really, really bad. And I, like, I look back now and it’s, you know, I, I guess ’cause it’s been a couple of weeks since it’s been really debilitating and it is, and again, I don’t know like that this is me or this is like just somebody else, but I, or this is me or this is the comment with other people. Sorry. Um, is that. Like when I’m not in pain anymore. It is such, so much like, I mean, depression is like this too. It’s so much like a vacuum. It’s like when you’re in it, that’s all you can see. But when you’re out of it, like it’s so easy to forget what it was like Jeff: Yeah, yeah, totally. Completely. Christina: totally completely right. Yeah. Jeff: Yeah. I can even imagine being in the [00:12:00] situation you’re describing, knowing I have a surgery coming up and being like, well, do I want to? Which, like, to your point now, you make that call and you’re worrying forever. Am I gonna wake up? And this thing’s there. Next time it happens, I gotta wait another God knows how long before the surgery, when I’ll know it’s time. Like, you know it’s time now. Get in there. Christina: No, totally, totally. And and that’s the thing. And I think sometimes it can be. Like I said, like when you’re not in the thick of, of it, whether it’s like, you know, feeling depressed or feeling overwhelmed or, or stressed or, or in physical pain or whatever, like it’s easy for to forget like what that can be like. And so I have to just kind of like remind myself like, no, this was really fucking bad. And yeah, you got through it and now you’re on the other side of it. And so you’re like, oh, okay, well, you know, I, I, I could, you know, do whatever, but you’re like, don’t, don’t forget what that was like. Right. Journaling and Mental Health Christina: Um, sometimes I think like, and, and I, and I’m bad at remembering to do this, but new thing for the new year, I guess is why, um, it is important I think to like write things down, right. Like however we’re feeling, whether it’s, you know, good, bad, whatever. [00:13:00] Sometimes, like for me, like it is Jeff: Just like journal you mean, right? Christina: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Be, because it can be useful just to like look back and like, if you’re in a darker spot to remember, hey, there were times when I felt this way. Right. Might not bring, bring me back to that place. But it’s a good reminder. But also I think almost just, it’s importantly, it’s, it’s, it’s the inverse where it’s like you need to remember when you’re in a good place. What it can be like to be in a worse place. Um, because, you know, I think that’s why sometimes people make decisions they make about what medicines they’re going to take or not take or what therapies they’re going to continue or not continue. And, um, and it’s, and it’s really easy to get into that, you know, cycle of, okay, well I’m fine now, um, because you’re removed enough from what it felt like to be bad, you know? And, and then, and, and, and also I think sometimes like, uh, and this is why I wish that I’ve been journaling more over the last few years. You can really get yourself into a deep depression and not realize it. Jeff: Yes, yes. Yeah. And I feel like journaling too, just like helps you internalize some of the flags and [00:14:00] warning signs, even if you’re never looking back, like, ’cause you’re gonna process them a little bit. Christina: yeah, yeah. Jeff: can’t, I, I’ve journaled over the years for stints of time. I can’t go back into them. I almost like, I almost like bounce off the page when I try. Um, but I really have come to believe that just the act of doing it is the thing. Christina: agree. Jeff: Yeah, Christina: Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I, I usually don’t re reread my old stuff either, and I haven’t journaled regularly in a really, really long time, and I actually would like to get back into that again. I think it would be better for my overall health, but similar to you, it’s one of those things I wouldn’t necessarily revisit, Jeff: But now, you know, you have a document, you have a reason to go back into it. Christina: right. Well, but, but also, I mean, I think to your point, just the act of doing it, um, you know, and this is case, we’re both writers. I think this is the, the case for a lot of, of people who, who write like it, it is one of those things that like, that’s what will almost like cement it in my mind. You know what I mean? Like, as, as, as mattering [00:15:00] like, like even if it’s something innocuous, even if I don’t remember the small details of just that, that the fact that like, I’ve done it, like, like to your point, helps you kind of process things and kind of, you know, act more as kind of a therapeutic place. Jeff: Yeah, I don’t, when I’m writing like that, or just in general, I don’t feel like I’m writing from my brain or feel like I’m writing on my brain. Christina: Yeah, yeah. Jeff: It’s like I am actually putting the information in, not drawing it out weirdly. Christina: Yeah. Yeah. No, I, I know, I, I, I, I love that actually, I’ve never thought of it before. Writing on my brain. I love that. That’s really, that, I think that’s really profound. Jeff: Yeah. So there’s, um, there’s a kind of journaling that I wish I, I, well, I don’t beat myself up at all to be clear about this ’cause that I’m too old to do that anymore. The Artist’s Way and Creative Practices Jeff: Um, but there’s this book I read back in. Oh God, 2019 99 called The Artist’s Way by this woman Julie Cameron. And I don’t remember much about this book except for, and I probably have talked about it on this podcast [00:16:00] years ago at this point, but she has this practice, she calls morning Pages. And the idea is you sit down first thing in the morning, you fill three pages, you don’t think about what you’re writing or why you just keep the pen moving. And, and I, what I have found, that’s the only kind of real regular journaling I’ve ever done. It’s a great, great hack for me. ’cause it, it, I can do that. And I fill, I’ll fill a, you know, big notebook and I have a box full of them from over the years. ’cause again, I’m old. Um, but what is, I have never, I don’t think there’s been a single day that I’ve done those morning pages when I haven’t been a little surprised and something hasn’t emerged that. I’m like, I’ll think to myself, well shit, if I hadn’t have done this, where would that have stayed and lived and, and lodged itself. Right. Like, um, so anyway, I I’m glad you are bringing this up ’cause it’s reminding me of that and New Year is a great time to be thinking about that. Christina: Totally, totally. No, I love that. And I, yeah, I, I found the book The Artist’s Way, a Spiritual Path to Higher [00:17:00] Creativity. Jeff: Yes, Christina: and it’s like this yellow gold book, but like, apparently, and then like they, they, they, they, they sell Morning pages Journal, a Jeff: they do, of course. I Christina: Yeah. Yeah, of course. Jeff: it probably took her two decades to realize she should be cashing in on that, but she did. Christina: No, honestly, so the book, it looks like it was published the first one in 92, Jeff: Yeah. Christina: then they were selling the companion volume to the Artist’s Way as December 29th, 1997. Um, so, so like Jeff: that you’re doing this history. This is delightful. Christina: I, well, I just looked at Amazon is just kind of filling this out for me, so I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, so at least it is possible that, that the, the book pages might have been even earlier than that, but like, good for her on like, recognizing there’s also a Artist’s Way workbook, um, now that was like a decade later, like 2006. Jeff: Yeah, that’s what I, maybe that’s what I’m thinking of. That came much later. Christina: Yeah, yeah. But, but it does seem like she got into that, like a David Allen kind of, you know, like, you know, whatever steps of highly, you know what I mean? Like, like all that kind of like stuff, [00:18:00] which Jeff: You’re letting the publisher have those meetings with you. Christina: Which honestly look good for you if you’re selling that many and whatnot. And, and if you come up with this journaling way, yes, sell the freaking paper. You should be selling PDF copies so that people can have it on their iPads now, like, you know, Jeff: Yeah. Christina: or, or, or on the remarkable tablets or whatever. Jeff: she had another thing actually I haven’t thought about in a long time. It wasn’t as useful to me long term. It helped me in the moment I. In the moment I was in, she called ’em artist dates and the idea was like, ’cause as you said in the title, it’s all about creativity. She was like, you, you take yourself out, go to a, whatever it is, a museum, a art supply shop, something like that. But with intention, like, I am going out to do this thing on my own alone because I know that it has some connection to what feels good to me about art and creativity and expression, whatever it was. That seems like a silly thing. Like it’s basically her saying, go to a museum. There was something about calling it an artist date. I think I was in a relationship too at the time where I was like not, it was not easy for me to [00:19:00] just go do something on my own. It was just a weird dynamic a little bit. So anyway, that was another good thing that came out of it. I mean, I, you don’t really have to work hard to tell me to go do something on my own, but at that time in my life you did. Yeah, she was great. That’s awesome. Christina: Yeah. Yeah. Uh, yeah. No, that is funny. Yeah. So yeah, so apparently that book was published in, in 1992 and, um, you know, uh, was immediately like, well, the first printing was about 9,000 copies. In 1992, the book was published by Jeremy Tarcher. Now part of Pink Wing Group revised and millions of copies have since been sold millions. Jeff: it was total like guru status by the Christina: Oh yeah, absolutely. No, absolutely. You know, and, and in a, yeah, she, she was, uh, she’s a, she was born in 1948, and so, uh, she’s still alive. She’s still kicking it. Um, Jeff: yeah. I think she made some new book that was like kind of a take on it, but it was a different, I don’t remember. Anyway. You’re the Christina: Yeah, no, no. Her, her list of like, of like books that she’s published is, she’s the, the most recent one. So she’s still doing the, the, the [00:20:00] writer’s way thing, living the, the artist’s way. An intuitive path to greater creativity. So I guess they did a 2024 version Write for Life, a toolkit for Writers Seeking wisdom, A spiritual Path to Creative Connection. Six week artist program. Jeff: it’s kind of like David Allen, where it’s like, wouldn’t it be nice to have created something when you were, whatever, reasonably younger, like 20, 30 years ago, that not only that you can ride for a long time, but you probably don’t feel bad about riding it for a long time. Right? Like, ’cause you can create things or have a band or something like that, that like your only choice is to ride that thing, but it gets pretty ugly. I see you Vince Neil. Um, but yeah, anyway, must be Christina: No, it ha it has to be nice, right? ’cause it’s like, okay, well no, and, and then it has all these little spinoff things, so it’s not like you have to feel like, I mean, although th this actually, this would, this would be an interesting idea for like a, a, a novel or a screenplay or something, which would be to be like, okay, you know, and people have have done like riffs on these things before on, on, you know, shows or whatever. But, so this would be an interesting story, I think to kind of focus on where it’s like you have somebody who is like, just famous for like, this, this one thing that they did, [00:21:00] and now their whole life has to revolve around it. But what if it was like, something that they didn’t like actually, like, believe in? Jeff: yes, Christina: what if you have the guru? What if you have the guru who’s like, actually is like, actually I don’t really, you know, I’m, I’m, I’m David Allen, but I, but I can’t actually get anything done. I have to have like a whole, you know, cadre of assistance to actually organize my, my, my, my calendar and my life. For me, you know, I don’t Jeff: Carol and Pluribus, I don’t know if you’re watching Pluribus, but that Yes. Her, her whole like book series. Clearly she was at a point where she’s like, yes, I should still ride this, but I cannot. That’s all right. Things changed for her. Um, okay. I have to tell you about something insane that happened to me at the end of 25. Christina: Okay. Alright.

I, [00:24:00] uh, I completely clean, installed my Synology after like six years. ’cause when I did. Build it. Initially, I actually didn’t really understand how to use it, and I, and I made some mistakes that because of all the stuff I put on, it was hard to sort of, I was treating it like it was gonna be an external drive and I could just kind of work with, you know, which was a huge mistake. Um, but anyway, I, it’s working so hard. It’s working so hard and it’s on my desk, which it normally wouldn’t be. So I hear this humming. Didn’t know if you heard it. Christina: I, I did not, I did not, which is a good thing. So, okay, so, all right. Uh, let, let’s, let’s go back. So what, what, yeah, I’m ready. I need to hear what happened to you at the end of 2025. All right. Unexpected Alley Incident Jeff: All right, so, um, my boys are out. They’re almost never out, but they’re both out with friends, different places. My wife and I we’re home and we were eating dinner and I got an alert from my back door ring camera, and. That almost never happens. It’s only exists to, to notify me of like alley shoppers. We’re in, in the city. We have an alley behind us and, and we get a fair amount of pretty [00:25:00] harmless alley shopping. Like it’s, is the car unlocked? If it is, you got some change. If not, I’m moving on. Um, but I like to know when they’re there. Christina: yeah, Jeff: We’ve had some bikes stolen and some people go into our garage and stuff like that. It’s very rare that it goes off less than I actually thought it would. Um, and so it goes off and it goes off at around 7:00 PM very unusual. And, uh, and so I, I, I pull it up and I look and, and I, all I can see is there’s two cars parked in the alley. I have this weird view where, um, it’s kind of a fence and then our garage. So I can see between those two things to the alley basically. So there’s two cars. That’s weird actually. And when I see some of people’s like videos about folks breaking into their cars, there’s often two that come. And so I was like, oh, okay, well it’s, I should just like go out and look. So we go and we kind of look at our, at our back window to see if we can see anything. And we’re just like, yeah, it’s weird. They’re not only parked but the headlights are off. And like, I’m gonna go out and check it out. She’s like, well first, why don’t you look at the video it recorded, which I wasn’t thinking of at all. So I pull up the video, it recorded, and I see these [00:26:00] cars park, but it’s like three or four of them come through the two that I can see park. And all of a sudden there are probably seven or eight figures running down the alley from these cars. Okay? And I’m like, well, that’s crazy. And so I walk out there and I go up to the first car and it’s got Texas plates. And around here where we have a little bit of an ice invasion, Texas plates are reported a lot. I look at the next car and it’s got no plates at all. And I look at the car after that and it’s got vanity plates, specifically chosen one with a Z. Um, and, and I’m like, oh my God. It’s the thing like ice is in my alley. And, uh, and so I come back in, I I’m like, you tell my wife, like, should probably get your coat on. I think it’s the thing is what I said. And, and we go out and sure enough, like at the end of our alley where there is a family and, and they are, um, US citizens, they’re Mexican immigrants, um, that’s where I see all these officers sort of, or these agents sort of coalescing and um, I’m gonna leave some aspects of this out. They were [00:27:00] actually, they were serving, uh, uh, narcotics warrant that ended up being totally misguided. Nothing happened of it. Um, but it was super scary. But I kind of don’t wanna say more than that because I wanna be really clear that as everyone should know about policing, a search warrant is not an indictment. Um, and oftentimes search warrants are so searching and, and, and often come up with. With nothing. Right? And, and maybe even were targeted at the wrong person. And there’s didn’t even have the name of my neighbor on it. It’s this whole thing. But the point is, it was a little different from what we’ve been hearing because there was a different agency there serving a warrant. It was the airport, airport, police department, ’cause of a package. So there was that piece, there was actually a signed warrant. ’cause everyone’s trained to say, show me the warrant. Show me the warrant. So everyone, you know, my wife and I were the first ones there. Um, and then another neighbor rolled up, and then I’ll get to the rest in a second. Um, so it, it’s shocking that it’s happening in our alley. Christina: in our alley, right? Jeff: just like, Christina: you, yeah. Jeff: what? What the Christina: I, I mean, how [00:28:00] I would feel to a certain extent would be like, I’d be like, am I in Amer in an episode of the Americans? Like, like, you know, Jeff: is, did they have to write it this way? Just ’cause how else are you gonna bring it to the people? You know? It’s, you gotta bring it to the characters. Um, so anyway, we go down there and, and there’s one, so all of the, everyone decides the airport PD guy who has no mask and is kind of like presenting like a pretty normal cop basically. And he is got a badge and a name and a number. But walking in and out of the house, all around us are these guys who are in full battle fatigues. They’ve got masks on, they’ve got ars. Um, they are, they are a weird mix of people. There’s a woman in there who’s like looking like, literally like she was cast for a movie to be, uh, an, an ice person. In this case they were Homeland Security Investigations, HSI. But it’s all intertwined at this point. Um, and then there was a guy that must have been like eight feet. That was crazy. There was a single guy that was wearing a, like a straight up like helmet, uh, for, as if he were going into battle. [00:29:00] Nobody else is wearing a helmet. Um. And none of them were talking. They were just passing through. And, um, and so we tried to engage one of them, talked to them for a little bit, do the thing you do. Hey, why don’t you take that mask off? You know, I don’t wanna get docked. I was like, uh, Christina: around. Jeff: it was like, I both understand why you don’t wanna get docked. I also feel like you’ve got the power here, brother. Um, and which was the conversation we had, um, I was like, you have a mask on. You also have your finger on the trigger of a gun. And he’s like, well, that’s not, it’s not on the trigger. This is how we hold guns, dude. I was like, I understand that, but your finger is itching at the trigger of a gun. And so he put his hands on top of the butt of the gun. ’cause it was kind of, you know, mounted the way it is. Is that better? I was like, no, you’ve still got all the power. Take the mask off. Like, at least. Um, and uh, what, what was really interesting, and I I have this sort of like wrap up that occurred to me later that kind of blew my mind is, you know, in our neighborhood, um, because ice activity has been going on all around our neighborhood, like in. Neighborhoods [00:30:00] surrounding our neighborhood or a little further out, but all within a, I could get in the car and rush out there distance. Basically we have these, we have these neighborhood signal groups. The first one that popped up was actually around my son’s school, which is very close to here and has a lot of East African and Hispanic, um, immigrants and, and, um, and so that we knew that was like, you know, people were scared there. Some kids weren’t coming to school. And so, um, some neighbors organized in such a way that they could a, have a signal, uh, communication channel. But also part of that was planning at the beginning of the day and that release time for enough people to sort of be paired up in areas around the school, but not so close that it freaks the kids out. That like if something happened, there could be sort of a rapid response. So we had that signal group. There’s a broader signal group that probably covers like a four block area, and then there’s a wider one that’s our wider neighborhood basically. And that one’s like a rapid response signal group. So these have been going. Pretty, like consistently [00:31:00] ever since it was announced that we were getting ICE and Homeland Security folks here. Um, so the network was all in place. And, and so I’m out there initially and I see all the cars. I’m like, holy shit. Wife and I go to the end of the block. We start talking to first the airport PD guy who’s there, and then the the one HSI guy who comes out. Then another neighbor, another neighbor. I go back to take pictures of the plates because folks around here are keeping a registry that you can get through the signal group of all of the makes and models of cars that we know have been at these, um, kind of ICE activities or homeland security activities, and then their license plates. And so there’s like a running log, which has happened in other cities too. So I was taking pictures of all the cars. Um, but I was pretty like, I mean, I’ve been through some shit and. Having it in your alley is very different from going halfway across the world as like an activist or something. Um, and having it ha neighbors are people we know and care about. And so knowing that, not knowing what’s happening for them, which I don’t mean to bury that lead [00:32:00] ’cause I’m kind of getting to that part, but I also want to just respect their privacy. Um, so like the thing I should have mentioned at the top is like, we know these folks and it was fucking terrifying to be standing there arguing with these HSI guys knowing that at some point, or just assuming at some point these people we know are gonna be dragged outta the house in front of us. And then it was just like this constant question of what the fuck will we do? Then? It did not happen to be really clear, uh, ahead of time. So I’m taking pictures of these cars, I’m like, oh shit. I’m supposed to notify like the signal group, but I’ve got, I’ve got all the presence I need to take pictures of cars. I’ve got the presence I need to engage these guys, which my wife was doing plenty good job of, so I could just like walk away and do the license plate thing. But when I pulled up my phone. To open signal. I opened Slack three times, like I could not, I got an S into my search, my app search, and like kept clicking the wrong thing. I was shaking. It was also freezing out and so like I’m shaking and so [00:33:00] thank God it occurred to me. I have one friend I know on this signal group that I, I know would answer the phone, so I called her. I called her and I was like, I need to be quick. Here are like the fundamental details. Can you please notify? The signal group and the rapid response people. So that was great. She did initially, the first group that showed up, which was just incredible, were like all of our neighbors, we all know this family. Like it’s not, they are just neighbors. It’s not like it’s a special offset group or something. Like they’re neighbors. So all of the neighbors show up. We have a really tight block. Um, that was incredible because it’s not like it’s a neighbor of activists. It’s what’s been incredible about this stuff from the beginning, which is like how easy it seems to be for people to pop outta their house and be like, Uhuh. Like it seems like, it seems like a lot of people are not feeling inhibited about that, which I think is really cool. And I totally respect the people that feel inhibited, right? Like, ’cause it’s just, it’s a whole thing to go out there. So we had this great group of neighbors and they were all, we had a public school teacher who was just killing it with this one HSI guy. It was so, [00:34:00] so good to watch and it felt really powerful and I think she was doing a really good job of trying to sort of like. Knock some things into this guy’s head knowing that like, you know, you’re in a dynamic that kind of you, there’s not a lot of room for things to change. Right. But given that she, it was really just inspiring watching her do her thing and then the like rapid response community showed up, which is like a mix of, you know, folks who are kind of just dedicated neighbors and then people who are sort of what you might call the usual suspects, right? Like the people you would expect, especially in South Minneapolis to show up at a thing like this. And I don’t know if you’ve heard about the thing people do with whistles around these things. Christina: Yeah. Well, I, I, all I’ve heard is that, and I ha, so all I know is I think sometimes people have whistles and kind of like, like, like blow them, almost like to alert people like that, that like, like the, like the, the, the, that like ice is there. Jeff: Yes, exactly. And that yes, that’s exactly it. And that’s been going on here and, [00:35:00] and everybody’s getting whistle. You know, sometimes when you get a good, it’s, I’m not calling it a bit, ’cause I’ll tell you in a minute why it was effective, um, in ways that I hadn’t anticipated. But, uh, you know, it’s like a, it’s, I can do this, I can get a whistle, I’m gonna get a whistle, right? Like, that’s something I can do. Like, it’s something that really caught on and there’s all these whistles being passed around and people on the neighborhood group being like, got a bag of whistles if you wanna come by. So I, ima imagine at this point that when these HSI or ICE people roll up to a thing before they get out, they’re like T minus 15 minutes to whistles, right? Like, this is how long we have before everyone shows up. And, and so pretty soon it’s whistles everywhere. I had a neighbor who kept putting off her, um. Car alarm just to make more crazy noise. We had another neighbor next to this neighbor who is a very conservative like Trump guy who, when he doesn’t like the noise that’s happening in the neighborhood sets off fireworks. And for some reason he was like, I’m gonna do the thing I do, even though there’s all these guys with guns and I’m gonna set off fireworks. But in that case, ’cause he is pissed off at all of us, like it was so [00:36:00] fucking chaotic for a minute. Um, but it was, it was an incredible thing to see how quickly people can deploy basically. Um, ’cause we aren’t like Chicago where like we’ve had a lot of activity here, but it’s been pretty quiet activity. Like, it’s like what happened here? It’s like you and your neighbors know about it and maybe 20 people showed up from your neighborhood rapid response. But like, they’re not the kinds of stories that. They’re not landing on rooftops, they’re not showing up with a hundred cars and calling people away. They’re hauling one person at a time away. And you hear about it here and there, but it’s been very quiet, unlike Chicago. Um, and so to have it given that, especially to have it show up just in your alley was like really, really insane. Um, so anyway, so it all, fortunately the, the police HSI, everybody left with nothing. They did not carry our neighbors away. They did not have any, any result of this warrant that we could tell. But of course, we’re not gonna know. Another [00:37:00] theme of this is how, how hard it is for good information to be resilient in a moment like this, right? That’s a whole other theme. And that, that’s one that gets me kinda riled up when people start after the fact or during the fact really kind of shouting out almost things that are wrong. Like the, the call that went out. For people to come. Said there were six cars in my alley with Texas plates, but I was very clear, there are six cars in my alley. One of them has Texas plates, right? So it’s like, that kind of stuff is a little spooky, but here’s what happened. So at the end it was all over. Our neighbors were able to pop out, wave at everybody, thank everybody. They had been handcuffed this family, um, in their living room while HSI figured out if they were citizens. And, um, what had what the whistles meant in this case was that they knew people were all over around the house. And that was, I’m sure, a level of comfort to know that like something’s happening out there. And then we learned later that there was an immigrant family down the block in the [00:38:00] other direction, across kind of a thoroughfare that we’re on the intersection of who heard the whistles and knew like, let’s stay in the house. There’s a lot going on out there. I dunno what it is, but now I hear whistles. Let’s stay in the house. And, um, and so it was quite a, quite a thing. Family Activism and Signal Setup Jeff: And what I kind of realized afterwards. Was we started this year. My family, my in-laws, my in-laws especially, were very, they’re, they’re, they’re very, um, active. They do kind of activist work, but it’s very like, um, service oriented. But they’ll go to an anti-war protest. They’ll go, you know, they’ll do the thing. They’re, they’re lovely people. And my father-in-law, especially at the beginning of the year, I was like, I don’t know what’s coming. Um, I hear that it’s good for everyone to have signal if we wanna be able to communicate to each other. So I wanna learn how to use signal. And so I helped him, my mother-in-law set it up. I created kind of a family group for Signal and everyone was setting up signal, right? Like at that point, not knowing what was gonna come. It wasn’t even January 20th yet. Unexpected End of Year Incident Jeff: And I wrapped up my year activating a signal network for rapid response because I [00:39:00] had masked people in my alley with guns refusing to identify themselves driving cars from out of state. That is insane. And I was like, that looks pretty tight. Season wrap up. Like, what the fuck? Because I kind of had gotten to the point, I guess prior to when ICE got here in, in the first place, I’d gotten to the point where I’m like, I don’t even really think about Signal anymore. Um, but then they came here and it, and it popped up. So that’s what, that’s what happened in my alley. Um, at the end of the year. Christina: And, and, and, and, and, and I mean, and, and, and you said, you said your neighbors are okay. Speculations and Concerns Christina: I mean, do, do you know anything more about like, like what, what happened or like what the, what the situation was? Jeff: I don’t know anymore. And that’s where I’m like a little cautious because since it was like a warrant for something, it was a narcotics warrant, right? Like, I, I have no idea what happened there. I don’t know. I can, I can only speculate. Um, but I know that the, the [00:40:00] name on that warrant was not someone that lives there. Um, so I can tell you that ’cause I saw the warrant. Um, and, and that’s the most I really feel comfortable saying. Christina: Fair enough. Yeah. I, I, I, I, yeah. I’m not, I’m not trying to like, Jeff: No, I get it. I get it. That’s me actually. Dealing with Law Enforcement Jeff: I’ve been wrestling with like, how much, even on the, I kind of like was asking people to be cautious, even on the signal, because they were sharing details about the warrant. I was like, Hey, details in a warrant. Do not share those, because that sticks to people. And like the details in the warrant were just like, no, we’re not gonna do this. Even when the guy read me the warrant, I was like, are you serious about that? He’s like, oh man, for sure. Okay, sounds good. Let’s, we’ll talk in an hour when you’re all done and you don’t have anything. Like I, I’ve been down this road before. I was a reporter for a long time, like I watched The Wire. Um, Christina: exactly. I was gonna say, yeah, I was gonna say the, the sort of reporting I did, like, yeah, I watched the Wire. Um, so would be Jeff: I said that to the guy. I didn’t say I watched the, yeah, I didn’t say I watched The Wire to the guy, but I was like, he [00:41:00] kept gaslighting us and I was like, come on man. Like you and I we’re smart people, you and I, and that was me being generous. But like, we’re smart people. You and I like, we know this thing you’re saying. It’s like, it’s totally not the case. Like when I asked him. The airport PD guy. What’s up with the cars with Texas plates and no plates and vanity plates? I don’t know, I don’t coordinate with those guys. I was like, okay, that’s weird. ’cause like here you are and they’re walking all around you. Surely you coordinated with them enough to get them here. It was just like, what the fuck? Just so much gaslighting that I won’t even get into, but it was just nonstop. But I was so proud watching my neighbors when the rapid responsible showed up. It was a, there’s always like some people in those situations where I, I, I get pretty activated around lack of discipline and I understand how that happens. But having been in like really super high stakes situations where people could, and who this was one, right? Like I don’t, I don’t react well internally to people who I feel like are working out something that’s theirs. Um, [00:42:00] and at the same time, how do we know how to process this, right? Like, I don’t, we, it was something incredible to watch Mask men and one masked woman walking up and down my alley, bumping past me with guns, with masks, with no idea, with no badges, refusing to pro produce any saying, why does it matter anyhow, saying how much threat they’re under, seeing how they get followed, like just, it was, it was an incredible thing. I had my reaction, but my reaction was based on wiring, based on really intense, unusual experiences. Um, other people, this is new to them. This kind of thing is new to me too, but, so anyway, I, I just like, I saved that. I didn’t even tell you guys when it happened. I’m like, I’ll just tell them on the podcast. ’cause Christina: yeah, no, I mean, that’s, that’s wild. I mean, like, and it’s just, it’s just, well, and, and it’s, I don’t know, it’s so dystopic, right? Like, it’s such a, like a, a terrible like thing to like have to like witness part of, right? Because like, look, yeah, there are going to be circumstances when maybe like, you know, Homeland Security or somebody else, like really actually does need to be involved and, you know, [00:43:00] um, you know, at your neighbor’s house. And like, that’s unfortunate, right? But like, there, there are real circumstances where that could be a case. Like I, I, I, I, I mentioned the, the Americans earlier, that was like, based Jeff: I need to watch that. Christina: It’s a great show. But, but the, the, the, uh, a former CIA agent was one of the, the, the, the creators. But the, um, the idea came to like, uh, one of the showrunners basically, he read an article, I think in the New Yorker or something about a, a family that like seemed like, just like the perfect, like normal family next door. And like the kids came home from school one day and the parents had been picked up because it turns out that they had been Russian spies living in the United States for like 20 years. And like, they were like actual Russian spies. And, and then that kind of like went into, okay, well, well, well, what happens then? Like, what happens to that family and, and what happens to get to that point? Like, what happens? Like if your neighbors are those things, right? And so there are those like very much like stranger than fiction. Like, like things, right? But in most cases, that’s not the circumstance. And, and certainly the way that like all this has been handled and the way that they’re doing all of this treat things for, [00:44:00] you know, like whatever the warrants were for whatever the situations are where they’re like, okay, now we’re gonna bring all these other groups in. We’re not going to have any due process at all, and we’re not going to, to bother with any sort of thing of humanity at all and then freak everybody else out, like is just, you know, then, and then it puts you like, as, as the neighbor, like in this position where you’re like, okay, well how do we get the word out? How do we help, how do we, you know, make sure that if’s something, is that if this is something that you know, isn’t what we, what we think that it is or whatever, that we can make sure that they’re not going to be. ’cause we see all the reports all the time. I mean, US citizens are getting arrested for, Jeff: Yeah, totally. Christina: the wrong way, Jeff: Oh yeah, we had a, we had a woman here probably, I think she was like in her sixties, and she walked out of her house ’cause there was something happening across the street. And in moments she was in the car, she was gone. Her husband didn’t know where she was. She was released later that day. Like we’ve had a lot of stories like that. And so that was stressful too, going in, right? Like when my partner and I went, went up to talk to this guy, I, I left down the alley to take pictures, but I [00:45:00] was like looking over my shoulder constantly. ’cause she and I have talked about how, like, can you imagine if one of us was taken and we didn’t know? And I was like, oh, we are in a situation right now where no way can I say, there’s no chance one of us will be taken. Like, no way. And you know, the longer you’re there, the more you push it a little bit, you know, not push it like physically or something, but just like push it a little more people out front. Someone kicked an ice car in, in an HSI car and got like pepper sprayed or whatever. Um, Christina: and it’s, and it’s like, don’t do that. Like, don’t like, Jeff: Well, it’s funny because, it’s funny because that per I, this is, I, I know there are people listening who will think I’m such an asshole for this, but I, to I, I feel zero apologetic for it. Reflections on Responsibility Jeff: So I am, I’m not like a huge fan, like kick the car when there’s a family that we don’t know how they’re doing and these people are around, like, don’t escalate in that way with these people. Don’t set off fireworks behind the guys that have their fingers resting near triggers. Like you Christina: That’s what I’m saying. That, that, yeah. Jeff: yeah, you just don’t do that. Uh, but here’s the part that makes me sound like an asshole and, and I don’t mind at all. [00:46:00] Um, they were, they were the only person that was pepper sprayed. And, and it was this, you know, certain people that come from outside the neighborhood. It was this very dramatic thing, whatever they pepper spray, you know, whatever. And I was like, what, what happened? They kicked the car. I was like, eh, I’m going in like, I mean like, yeah, you got pepper spray because you kicked the car. I assume you were in for that. Like you signed just like the guy with the mask who’s worried about being docked. He signed up for this dude. Christina: I was gonna say, you, you, you, you signed up for this, you, you, you, you’ve signed up because you saw Christina O’s you know, like ridiculous, like, you know, like, come, come join Ice, you know, like, like, you know, freaking social media, you know, posts or whatever, like there ads you’re doing like, yeah. Like you, you know exactly what you’re doing, so fuck off. I don’t, yeah, I have zero. Jeff: I I said you signed up for this. I did not sign up for this. I said you signed up for all of it, dude. Like you Christina: Yeah, absolutely. No, I mean, honestly, well, well look, you know, it’s the same thing like the military, frankly, like, you know, like in the, in, in the seventies and stuff, and we saw, you know, more of it then, like, I’m not saying that it was like the, the right or like nice or like humane thing to spit in the, in their faces. [00:47:00] Right. But like. Especially after the draft was gone. Like, you sign up for that shit, Jeff: It’s a tough man. I, I had that, I, that experience throughout the Iraq war where. I knew. I mean, there’s the economic draft. There’s all right, there’s all these reasons people end up in war. But at the end of the day, when I am walking around a city I love, and other Americans are there in armor and Humvees and they have destroyed a city, I feel like this is what you signed up for. It’s not what you signed up for, but it is literally what you signed. Same with police. It’s a little bit Christina: that’s Jeff: I totally respect the trauma. I respect that you’re in situations where Christina: that’s real. No. Jeff: your values. Like I Christina: Absolutely. Absolutely. And, and, and that, that is real. And, and to your point, there might be like, like economic scenarios, drafts and other scenarios where like you’re like, well, I had a choice, but I didn’t have a choice. Okay, but you knew that this was a trade off. Like you knew that this was a thing that comes with, with, with the territory. If it comes with adulation, but it comes with the bad stuff too. Right. Jeff: And if you’re killing people, I don’t feel super bad about saying that. I feel super bad for you for having to live with that [00:48:00] fact. But like I don’t feel bad for saying, Hey man, Christina: well, I mean, like, and, and it’s a Jeff: have said no. Christina: and it’s a completely different like thing. I’m not even trying to categorize it the same way. ’cause it’s, it’s not. But like, just, just like in, in my life, you know, people oftentimes will like, yell at me about stuff that they don’t like, about, like the companies like that I work for. And you know, what I, I’m, I’m part of my job is to kind of be a public face for, for those things. And that means that I get yelled at and that’s okay. And like that, that I, I quite literally knew that I signed up for that. Does that mean that I always appreciate it? That is, does that mean that I don’t get annoyed sometimes? Does that mean that I like being like tarred and feathered with like mistakes or decisions that like, I had nothing to do with Absolutely not right. But like, that’s quite literally part of my job. So, you know, it, it, it is. So I can’t like turn around and be like, oh, well, you know, you can’t, you know, like. You know, say, say this to me, or whatever. Right. Um, but, and, and again, I realize it’s a completely different scale of things. I’m not in any way trying to equate the, the, the, the two [00:49:00] scenarios, Jeff: No, but it’s, I mean, it is, yeah, Christina: but all of us, but all of us, we have jobs and we do things and like in a case like this, like if you work for those agencies, right. Especially right now, and like I recognize and I can be sympathetic that you may not have signed up. Under these circumstances. Having said that, I will say that if you signed up in the last eight years, you knew that these were things that were going in a certain direction, right? Um, I, I, I, I, I will, I will further say that like I, I’m not gonna say that like every single person is involved, but I will say like in the last eight years, you’ve, you’ve seen which way the wind was going and, and, and, and, and that’s okay. You can make that decision and, and like, I’m not gonna judge you or your character as a person for that decision. I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m not. ’cause we all have to make decisions about where we work. Having said that, that just also means like what we’ve been saying, you’re gonna have to deal with some shit. You’re gonna deal with people recording your face. You’re gonna have to deal with people being angry with you. You’re gonna have to deal with, to your point, people kicking the cop car. And if that’s all that happens and like, and, and, and, and it’s not gonna lead to another escalation point, that’s fine. I, I’m with you. I

En Palestine, malgré les attaques de colons à répétition, le grignotage des terres, les raids quotidiens de l'armée israélienne et Gaza dans toutes les têtes, l'espoir vient peut-être de la musique qui permet de s'évader du quotidien au fil des notes. Tel est quoi qu'il en soit l'objectif de la chorale Amwaj, un chœur d'enfants palestiniens venus de Bethléem et d'Hébron, en Cisjordanie occupée. Les 60 enfants qui le composent pratiquent la musique six heures par semaine avec des musiciens qui viennent du monde entier et participent à des masterclass. L'une d'elles a notamment été animée par une jeune cheffe d'orchestre palestinienne qui vit désormais en France venue transmettre bien plus que des techniques vocales : une confiance, une discipline, et l'idée que la musique peut encore faire rêver. De notre envoyée spéciale à Bethléem, Dans une vaste salle de béton, une chorale d'une soixantaine d'enfants venus d'Hébron et de Bethléem s'échauffe la voix en attendant l'arrivée du public. Devant eux, une rangée de musiciens : cinq violons, un violoncelle, une flûte traversière. Tous attendent une jeune violoniste et cheffe d'orchestre professionnelle, Lamar Elias, originaire de Bethléem. Mathilde Vittu a créé et cofondé le chœur Amwaj de Palestine. C'est elle qui a pensé à cette co-création : « On connaît bien Lamar Elias. Mon mari lui a enseigné le violon quand elle était enfant. Elle a grandi, elle a voulu devenir cheffe d'orchestre. Elle est partie en France réaliser son rêve et, peu à peu, elle a fait carrière. Elle a été sélectionnée pour le concours de la Maestra qui va se passer bientôt à la Philharmonie de Paris. Quand est né le chœur Amwaj, il y a dix ans, elle a été à nos côtés pour nous soutenir dans ce projet. Récemment, j'ai proposé à Lamar d'enseigner la direction à mes jeunes ». Car dans la chorale, plusieurs d'entre eux se forment pour devenir des chefs de chœur. « Avoir la transmission d'une jeune cheffe brillante qui fait déjà carrière comme Lamar Elias dans leur propre langue, en arabe, c'était une manière, pour moi, de montrer qu'on a plein de jeunes chefs en Palestine qui ne demandent qu'à être formés », explique-t-elle. La masterclass aborde tous les registres : baroque, classique, ou chansons arabes. Tous les enfants et les adolescents de la chorale Amwaj défilent un à un au pupitre. Tous veulent s'essayer à la direction. « Aujourd'hui, on répétait avec la chorale. On apprenait à se placer pour faire un orchestre, comment chanter en groupe. Quand j'ai pris la place de la cheffe, franchement, j'ai senti que la chorale était dans ma main. Je veux apprendre à faire ça quand je serai plus grande, parce que c'est quelque chose de très beau », raconte Naïf Hijazi, 11 ans, qui vient d'Hébron. En Palestine, les chefs d'orchestre sont rares. Par manque d'orchestre d'abord, alors qu'il y a un véritable besoin car des ensembles se créent et les musiciens ne manquent pas. Mais peu de chefs sont formés. Il n'y a pas de véritable cursus de direction. Lamar Elias le précise : cette masterclass était inimaginable à ses débuts dans la musique. « Je n'aurais jamais dit qu'on pouvait avoir un chœur qui chante à quatre voix à Bethléem. Ce n'est pas un manque de culture, c'est juste que ce n'est pas la même éducation. On n'a pas accès à ces moyens. On a des super musiciens mais qui ne peuvent pas vivre ici. Je suis très émue de voir cela et de former des chefs de chœur, quelle chance », se réjouit-elle avec émotion. « Ce que l'on fait, c'est dire : "Oui, il y a un futur. Il y a des jeunes Palestiniens, des musiciens, des chœurs. Il y a des gens qui jouent, qui dirigent. C'est vers ce futur que nous avons envie d'aller ensemble », abonde Mathilde Vittu.

Enrico Guala est entrepreneur et consultant dans l'industrie du cycle, pilier du développement de Finale Ligure en tant que destination VTT et co-créateur des Enduro World Series.Si Enrico a obtenu le surnom de « Pape de l'Enduro », c'est parce qu'en annonçant les résultats depuis une fenêtre donnant sur la place centrale lors d'une course, Enrico avait tous les attributs d'un souverain pontife.Mais c'est surtout grâce à son investissement dans le développement du VTT et de l'Enduro qu'il a été autorisé à garder ce surnom.Car depuis 40 ans, Enrico œuvre en faveur du développement du VTT en Italie, et plus précisément à Finale Ligure, terre promise pour tous les enduristes.Celui qui à ses débuts s'est grandement inspiré du modèle des stations françaises pour développer le VTT dans sa région natale a depuis développé sur place une véritable industrie qui génère aujourd'hui plus de 150 Millions d'€ de chiffre d'affaires et fédère plus de 400 acteurs locaux. Une réussite dont les destinations touristiques du monde entier essaient aujourd'hui de s'inspirer.En tant que passionné, Enrico a une grande expérience à partager n'est pas avare de conseils pour permettre à d'autres territoires de reproduire le succès de Finale.Dans cet épisode, attendez-vous à découvrir.* Comment une petite station balnéaire de la côte italienne s'est développée pour devenir une référence mondiale en matière de destination pour le VTT Enduro et le rôle central joué par les événements dans ce développement.* Les racines surprenantes de l'exceptionnelle densité de sentiers qu'on y retrouve.* Comment les acteurs du territoire sont ils parvenus à se fédérer autour de l'activité VTT et quels sont les défis et les clés le la réussite d'une organisation locale aussi complexe.* Les recommandations d'Enrico aux responsables des territoires français pour développer le VTT sans mettre en péril l'accès aux sentiers.* Son regard sur la place de l'Enduro en compétition et ses propositions pour lui redonner de l'attractivité.* Pourquoi les compétitions de VTTAE n'ont aucun avenir si rien ne bouge.* Comment la course à la puissance des moteurs est en train de mettre en péril toute une industrie.* Et pleins d'autres choses.--Les chapitres de l'épisode00:00 Teaser01:47 Présentation En Roue Libre02:22 Présentation Enrico Guala03:25 Sommaire04:14 Un message de Shifter, le sponsor de cet épisode05:13 Finale Ligure, la terre sainte?05:53 Pourquoi Finale?15:07 Le VTT, quelque chose de "vrai"17:05 Le parcours d'Enrico26:09 Comment Finale est devenue ce qu'elle est aujourd'hui38:48 Les chiffres de Finale45:33 Le consortium de Finale Outdoor Region50:02 Les difficultés59:04 Les challenges du développement de la pratique VTT01:01:46 Le cas de Molini01:05:48 Comment développer une destination sans la compromettre01:08:21 Conseils aux destinations touristiques01:11:51 L'enduro selon Enrico01:16:17 La rencontre avec Fred Glo et Chris Ball01:25:13 Son regard sur la place de l'Enduro aujourd'hui01:29:24 Comment professionnaliser l'Enduro?01:32:56 Quelles solutions?01:39:39 Le dopage en Enduro01:42:14 La compétition en VTTAE01:46:49 L'équité en compétition de VTTAE?01:51:55 Comment raisonner les constucteurs?01:54:16 Le mot de la fin d'Enrico01:55:25 Remerciements à Enrico01:58:55 Merci à vous--Essayez Shifter dès aujourd'hui et bénéficiez de 30% de remise sur votre abonnement grâce au code Enrouelibre30.Et chaque mois, une boutique parmi celles ayant utilisé ce code sera tirée au sort pour gagner 1 an d'abonnement offert.Rendez-vous sur app-shifter.com/enrouelibre --

The New Year fun continues with an unforgettable run of stories from Jay Leno. Jay recounts the terrifying moment he was caught in a car fire, sharing firsthand what went wrong and how it all unfolded. He then rewinds to his early days in Los Angeles, talking about arriving in town, scraping by, and the very first car that helped him get around Hollywood.Things get even more personal when Jay admits to accidentally losing Barack Obama’s phone number after trying a little too hard to play it cool. And in true Leno fashion, the segment wraps with a perfectly absurd story about getting unintentionally swept into a parade… all while just trying to grab a slice of pizza.Car fires, Hollywood beginnings, presidential mishaps, and parade chaos—this Best Of is a masterclass in legendary storytelling.

La police équatorienne a saisi plus de 211 tonnes de drogue entre le mois de janvier et le 17 décembre 2025, ce qui devrait priver les organisations criminelles de plus de 400 millions d'euros, selon les autorités. Près de 9 000 opérations sur les ports, aéroports, routes et zones côtières ont permis d'arrêter cette année 11 000 personnes et de désarticuler 74 organisations criminelles. Au centre de ces opérations anti-drogue se trouve le Groupe spécial mobile antinarcotiques (Gema) de la police nationale. Les aspirants à ce groupe d'élite s'entraînent dans la base de Baeza qui contrôle le trafic entre la capitale Quito et l'Amazonie. De notre envoyé spécial à Baeza, Simulacres d'attaques, descentes en rappel, orientation : les exercices sont constants sur la base de Baeza, en Équateur. Deux véhicules sont utilisés pour entraîner les aspirants comme Jonathan Quishpe à détecter les caches de drogue. « On a un poinçon avec des stries un peu plus bas sur la lame. On l'utilise pour piquer les caches naturelles ou fabriquées dans un véhicule. Si on traverse un paquet de drogue, on en retrouvera des traces sur le poinçon », explique-t-il. Les succès sont fréquents, immortalisés sur des photos que le lieutenant Christian Carrasco montre avec fierté. « Un cas important cette année, pour nous à Baeza, a été la saisie de 500 kilos de drogue. Les trafiquants se déplaçaient en camion, près de Tena, sur une route secondaire qu'ils utilisent pour éviter les contrôles. On a fait lever la benne et, grâce à notre entraînement, on a repéré un endroit où la peinture était neuve. C'était l'entrée de la cache où la drogue était dissimulée », raconte-t-il. À quelques mètres du terrain d'exercice, la route qui mène à la capitale permet de passer de la théorie à la pratique, comme l'explique le lieutenant-colonel Edwin Fierro, commandant du Groupe spécial mobile antinarcotiques (Gema) de la police nationale. « On travaille à base de profils et de renseignements. Bus, camions ou voitures : on choisit les véhicules que l'on va fouiller 50 mètres avant leur arrivée au point de contrôle. Si c'est nécessaire, on fait intervenir les chiens », détaille-t-il. Beaucoup d'appelés et peu d'élus Comme souvent, la psychologie est aussi une arme pour détecter les possibles trafiquants. « Parmi les profils de potentiels suspects, il y a ceux qui restent impassibles. On les appelle les “nerfs d'acier”. Ils sont capables de cacher la drogue à pleine vue, par exemple dans la boîte à gants », indique Jonathan Quishpe. À Baeza, les aspirants au Gema ont aussi à leur disposition la réplique d'un laboratoire dans lequel les étudiants comme Ariel Chiquiranda se familiarisent avec les différentes phases de la production du chlorhydrate de cocaïne. « Ici, la feuille de coca triturée est mélangée avec différents précurseurs chimiques : de l'acide sulfurique, de l'essence et du bicarbonate de soude. Dans la vie réelle, il faudrait travailler avec des masques et des gants », précise-t-il. Une formation pour laquelle il y a beaucoup d'appelés mais peu d'élus. Au début du 13e cours de commandos Gema, plus de 100 policiers se sont présentés. Ils ne sont plus aujourd'hui qu'une trentaine – les autres ont rejoint leurs unités après avoir fait sonner une cloche, synonyme d'échec. Ils seront bientôt sur le terrain où ils sont plus attendus que jamais. Car seules 211 tonnes de drogue ont été saisies cette année, 80 tonnes de moins que l'an dernier.

Dans notre épisode sur le monde en 2026, il a beaucoup été question des Etats-Unis et de leur énorme influence sur les affaires du monde.Pour cette entrée dans l'année, nous vous proposons un deuxième épisode spécial, consacré cette fois à la Chine.Car la diplomatie bruyante de l'administration de Donald Trump cache la place grandissante prise par la Chine, qui profite pleinement du vide laissé par les Etats-Unis dans les instances multilatérales et ailleurs.En témoigne aussi un récent sondage international réalisé par le Pew Research Center dans 25 pays, qui montre une hausse des opinions favorables sur la Chine. Elles restent minoritaires, à 36% de médiane, mais c'est cinq points de plus qu'en 2024.Sur le plan économique, la Chine est en outre devenue, la première puissance industrielle, comme le démontrent les exportations de ses voitures électriques et hybrides, en hausse de presque 100% en 2025 . Pour en parler, nous diffusons donc en longueur l'interview d'Alice Ekman que vous avez brièvement entendu la semaine dernière et qui est l'une des meilleures expertes européennes de la Chine. Selon Alice Ekman, qui est directrice de recherche à l'Institut d'études de sécurité de l'Union européenne, la Chine veut tout simplement créer un ordre mondial alternatif. références : Dernier vol pour Pékin par Alice Ekman (Flammarion, 2024)Réalisation : Michaëla Cancela-KiefferDoublages : Sébastien Blanc, Pascale Trouillaud, Virginie MontetExtraits sonores : AFPTV, CGTN et CGTN EuropeMusique : Nicolas VairLa Semaine sur le fil est le podcast hebdomadaire de l'AFP.

Continuez à découvrir l'histoire de La Goulue, la plus célèbre des danseuses de French Cancan !Dès l'âge de 16 ans, la carrière de danseuse de La Goulue est lancée. Elle fait la rencontre de Lucienne Beuze, danseuse professionnelle et reine du cancan. C'est avec elle que La Goulue apprend les figures incontournables du French cancan. Car oui, le cancan est une danse très codifiée ! La danseuse se produit alors sur scène, lorsqu'elle est repérée par les gérants d'un tout nouvel établissement de spectacle qui va ouvrir dans quelques mois… Ce n'est autre que le Moulin Rouge. La Goulue régnera sur le lieu pendant 6 ans. En 1895, La Goulue a 29 ans. Elle est épuisée par ces années de danse, et elle est enceinte. La danseuse se retire de scène, et investit dans une baraque de forain pour continuer le spectacle. Mais c'est la fin de son grand succès. La Goulue retournera une dernière fois au Moulin Rouge en 1925, à 59 ans, pour un dernier adieu.

Il n'existerait pas d'hydrogène à l'état naturel sur Terre : pendant longtemps, cette idée a fait figure de vérité scientifique. Et pourtant, les faits racontent une autre histoire. Dès le début du XXᵉ siècle, des émanations d'hydrogène ont été observées en France. À partir des années 1970, les chercheurs commencent à identifier, un peu partout sur la planète, des poches d'hydrogène naturel – désormais baptisé hydrogène blanc – depuis les fonds océaniques jusqu'à la croûte continentale. Longtemps restées marginales, ces découvertes prennent aujourd'hui une tout autre dimension.Car dans un monde engagé dans une course contre la montre pour décarboner ses économies, l'hydrogène naturel apparaît comme une ressource providentielle. L'hydrogène industriel actuel, dit « gris », est produit à partir de ressources fossiles et génère près de dix kilos de CO₂ pour chaque kilo d'hydrogène. Un hydrogène bas carbone pourrait, lui, transformer l'industrie, les transports, voire la production d'électricité. Résultat : la ruée est lancée. Des forages exploratoires sont en cours en Australie et aux États-Unis. En France, plusieurs permis ont été délivrés, notamment dans les Pyrénées-Atlantiques et les Landes. Plus spectaculaire encore : l'annonce récente d'un gisement estimé à 46 millions de tonnes d'hydrogène naturel dans le sous-sol de la Moselle. À titre de comparaison, la consommation mondiale d'hydrogène atteignait environ 90 millions de tonnes en 2022.C'est dans ce contexte que des chercheurs de l'University of Oxford, de l'University of Durham et de l'University of Toronto publient des travaux majeurs. Leur étude identifie les conditions géologiques nécessaires à la formation et à l'accumulation de l'hydrogène blanc. Et leur conclusion est vertigineuse : les environnements favorables seraient répandus à l'échelle mondiale, avec un potentiel capable de couvrir nos besoins énergétiques pendant… 170 000 ans. Les chercheurs expliquent désormais comment l'hydrogène se forme, migre à travers les roches et se retrouve piégé, mais aussi ce qui peut le faire disparaître, comme certains microbes qui s'en nourrissent. Ces avancées offrent une véritable feuille de route aux industriels de l'exploration. Tout n'est pas encore connu : l'efficacité exacte des réactions chimiques ou l'influence de l'histoire géologique restent à préciser. Mais l'essentiel est là. « Trouver de l'hydrogène, c'est comme réussir un soufflé », résume le géochimiste Chris Ballentine : il faut les bons ingrédients, au bon moment. Une recette que la science commence enfin à maîtriser, ouvrant la voie à une nouvelle ère énergétique. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

« Les bijoutiers du bazar de Téhéran et les agents de change ont été parmi les premiers à gronder, relate Le Monde à Paris, baissant le rideau de leurs boutiques pour protester, dès dimanche dernier, dans les rues de la capitale iranienne. La flambée de l'or et l'effondrement soudain du rial, la monnaie nationale, venaient ruiner leur commerce, amplifiant le malaise économique d'un pays miné par des années d'incurie des autorités, de corruption endémique et de sanctions internationales. Comme si une étincelle venait de s'allumer, les manifestants ont été rejoints par les commerçants d'autres parties de la capitale, quittant les uns après les autres leurs étals pour défiler dans les rues. » Pour leur part, poursuit Le Monde, « comme si elles craignaient une contagion qui l'obligerait à une répression de plus grande ampleur, les autorités ont décrété que le 31 décembre serait férié comme le sont déjà les 1er, 2 et 3 janvier 2026. Ces quatre jours non travaillés étoufferont-ils le mouvement naissant ? Pour les experts de l'Iran, ces protestations, trois ans après le mouvement Femme, vie, liberté, ont quelque chose de singulier. Il ne s'agit plus de mater la grogne d'une partie de l'élite. “C'est le cœur battant de l'économie iranienne qui proteste“, observe Azadeh Kian, sociologue franco-iranienne, professeure émérite à l'université Paris Cité. » Rester en marge ? « Voilà que quelque chose se trame, s'exclame le Jerusalem Post. Serait-ce le moment où les masses iraniennes se libéreront enfin du joug de leurs dirigeants oppressifs ? Ou n'est-ce qu'une énième protestation qui finira par s'essouffler, sans laisser de traces ? Il est trop tôt pour le dire et l'Histoire nous met en garde contre tout triomphe prématuré. » En tout cas, poursuit le quotidien israélien, « une question cruciale se pose : comment l'Occident et Israël peuvent-ils soutenir les manifestants sans donner involontairement au régime des arguments, en les présentant comme des instruments étrangers ? L'Occident est confronté à un paradoxe : s'il apporte son soutien, le régime s'en servira pour délégitimer les manifestants ; mais s'il ne le fait pas, les manifestants se sentiront abandonnés. » Et dans le même temps, pointe encore le Jerusalem Post, « Israël est confronté à un dilemme crucial. Elle aspire à un autre régime en Iran, un régime qui cesse d'exporter violence et chaos dans toute la région. Mais si l'influence israélienne se fait sentir dans les manifestations, la propagande du régime n'en sera que plus facile. » Ou bien soutenir le mouvement ? Pour le Wall Street Journal, « rien n'indique encore que le régime iranien est menacé d'un effondrement immédiat. » Mais les manifestations de ces derniers jours « offrent aux États-Unis l'occasion de manifester leur soutien au peuple iranien. En 2009, Barack Obama avait commis l'erreur de garder le silence face à la répression des manifestants par le régime, car il souhaitait un accord nucléaire avec l'ayatollah. Donald Trump pourrait être tenté par la même illusion. » « Les Iraniens qui risquent leur vie méritent (donc) un soutien concret, insiste le Wall Street Journal. Cela peut impliquer le rétablissement de l'accès à Internet lorsque le régime le coupe, la dénonciation des responsables de la répression du régime, et bien plus encore. Donald Trump peut également mettre en œuvre la loi Mahsa Amini, adoptée en 2024, afin de garantir que les responsables de violations des droits de l'homme rendent des comptes. Enfin, le plus important est de maintenir la pression économique sur le régime iranien », pointe encore le quotidien financier américain. Avec l'application à 100% des sanctions pétrolières. En effet, « l'ayatollah Khamenei a absolument besoin des revenus du pétrole pour s'assurer de la loyauté de ses commandants militaires (…). Si ces revenus venaient à manquer, l'armée pourrait changer de camp. » De possibles négociations ? En tout cas, conclut Die Welt à Berlin, « le choix qui se présente à Téhéran est clair. L'Iran peut devenir un État souverain doté d'un avenir viable, intégré à l'économie mondiale. Ou bien, il peut rester un régime révolutionnaire en proie à une confrontation permanente avec la réalité. Ce qu'il ne peut se permettre, c'est de rester à la fois ambitieux et intouchable. » Car, poursuit le quotidien allemand, « Israël ne vivra pas indéfiniment sous une menace existentielle. Les dirigeants iraniens le savent. C'est précisément pour cette raison que des négociations restent possibles et qu'elles peuvent encore aboutir. L'histoire n'accorde pas de temps illimité aux régimes. Elle leur offre des moments décisifs. Celui-ci en est un. »

The new emperor of the Central African Republic is introduced to the world in a totally surreal manner - with white horses from Belgium, finery from France and songs from a Broadway musical. The CAR's finances continue to tumble. A controversial policy about school uniforms leads to one of the most tragic episodes in the country's history. And as the emperor loses control, old friends become foes, old foes return from the dead, and Bokassa's day of judgement is at hand… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann.

Hello to you, Marilyn, listening in Hancock, New Hampshire!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington, this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Wednesdays on Whidbey—this final day of the old year—and your host, Diane Wyzga.      Shoveling Snow With Buddha by Billy Collins"In the usual iconography of the temple or the local Wokyou would never see him doing such a thing,tossing the dry snow over the mountainof his bare, round shoulder,his hair tied in a knot,a model of concentration. Sitting is more his speed, if that is the wordfor what he does, or does not do. Even the season is wrong for him.In all his manifestations, is it not warm and slightly humid?Is this not implied by his serene expression,that smile so wide it wraps itself around the waist of the universe? But here we are, working our way down the driveway,one shovelful at a time.We toss the light powder into the clear air.We feel the cold mist on our faces.And with every heave we disappearand become lost to each otherin these sudden clouds of our own making,these fountain-bursts of snow. This is so much better than a sermon in church,I say out loud, but Buddha keeps on shoveling.This is the true religion, the religion of snow,and sunlight and winter geese barking in the sky,I say, but he is too busy to hear me. He has thrown himself into shoveling snowas if it were the purpose of existence,as if the sign of a perfect life were a clear drivewayone you could back the car down easilyand drive off into the vanities of the worldwith a broken heater fan and a song on the radio. All morning long we work side by side,me with my commentaryand he inside the generous pocket of his silence,until the hour is nearly noonand the snow is piled high all around us;then, I hear him speak. After this, he asks,can we go inside and play cards? Certainly, I reply, and I will heat some milkand bring cups of hot chocolate to the tablewhile you shuffle the deck,and our boots stand dripping by the door. Aaah, says the Buddha, lifting his eyesand leaning for a moment on his shovelbefore he drives the thin blade againdeep into the glittering white snow."My New Year wish for you: As the old year folds onto itself and the new year dawns I wish for you that your everyday activities, even the very simple tasks, bring humor, contemplation, and a sense of magic in the ordinary. May you find your way on the path following a compass heading of True North. May the love you seek wend its way to you. May you dream well, journey far, and be sustained in hope that what you're looking for is looking for you.You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Why do Christianity and Judaism? These Faiths continue to provoke fear, resistance, and even hostility in the modern age. Tonight, we present an in-depth four-segment program, while taking a thoughtful and respectful look at why believers in the God of the Bible so often face misunderstanding, suspicion, and opposition across cultures. And have done so throughout history.Video Version available in 4K at https://www.lastchristian.netRather than resorting to accusations or stereotypes, this discussion carefully examines the issue from both secular and religious perspectives, exploring psychological, cultural, historical, philosophical, and spiritual factors. The program begins by addressing how belief in absolute moral truth challenges a modern world increasingly shaped by moral relativism, personal autonomy, and self-defined identity. It explains why accountability to a higher authority often creates discomfort, and how that discomfort can evolve into rejection or resentment.The show then turns to history and collective memory, examining how centuries of cultural narratives, oversimplifications, and inherited assumptions continue to influence modern attitudes toward Christians and Jews. This being the case even among those who consider themselves secular or non-religious. It explores why ancient faiths that have survived empires, ideologies, and revolutions are often viewed with suspicion simply because they refuse to fade away.From there, the discussion focuses on identity and purpose, unpacking why biblical concepts such as covenant, calling, repentance, and divinely given meaning clash with a culture that insists identity must be invented rather than received. The tension between absolute truth and self-constructed meaning is explored with clarity and compassion.Finally, the program examines the deeper philosophical and spiritual layer behind the resistance, addressing why humility, moral accountability, and eternal purpose remain uncomfortable ideas in every generation. It also explains why times of cultural instability and uncertainty often intensify hostility toward faith rather than diminish it.This is not a program designed to attack non-believers. It is an invitation to understand, and presented with an honest, calm, and serious examination of one of the most enduring tensions in human history, and why it continues to matter today.For More Information about Our Radio & Television Mission and Ministry, please visithttps://www.lastchristian.net/⭐ And don't forget to visit our online shop for great Merch of all kinds for Car, Home, Office.  Visit https://www.lastchristian.net/store today!!# Last Christian Media # Television #christianitytiktok #Judaism #ChristiansAndJews #FaithAndCulture #ReligiousHostility #Secularism #MoralRelativism #BiblicalWorldview #FaithVsCulture #ReligiousIdentity #Covenant #Calling #AbsoluteTruth #CulturalConflict #FaithUnderPressure #ReligiousFreedom #Worldview #ConservativeChristian #BiblicalTruth #LastChristianRadio #RevelationRadio

Struck by a Car, Surrounded by the Divine: Gary Wimmer's NDE

Il y a quelques mois encore, je ne connaissais pas ce chef de 33 ans et, comme vous peut-être, je l'ai découvert tout récemment dans le plus célèbre concours culinaire télévisé le bien nommé Top Chef. Voilà des semaines que sous nos yeux, comme chaque année depuis maintenant 14 ans, des candidats s'affrontent et, à l'heure où j'écris ces lignes, l'affaire est sérieuse! Il y a quelques jours, on a dû dire au revoir au si talentueux Valentin Raffali, et la semaine prochaine c'est la finale! Jorick Dorignac est face à Clotaire Poirier et, comme on peut l'imaginer, dans quelques jours, la vie de l'un des deux concurrents devrait un peu changer... Mais je sais maintenant que l'un des deux sait parfaitement s'adapter, à tout! Comme vous peut être qui allez aujourd'hui profiter d'un épisode pas comme les autres puisque j'ai demandé au chef de me parler dans un premier temps de son actualité aux portes de la grande finale du concours, puis de remonter le fil de son histoire pour en revenir à quelques jours du verdict… Et je ne m'attendais pas à tant de rebondissements… Vous allez être surpris ! Car on a beau être vu par des millions de téléspectateurs, quand il s'agit de faire des épreuves imposées c'est pas facile de montrer ce qu'on est… Et l'histoire tout comme l'univers de Clotaire sont singuliers ! Et vous allez entendre ici une parole non formatée alors que Clotaire touche aujourd'hui au Graal de la télé. Vous allez entendre une histoire sans filtre où les travers, les abus, les violences et les déviances du monde de la cuisine ne vous seront pas cachés. Vous allez surtout entendre un récit inspirant qui vous donnera sûrement l'envie d'aller au bout du monde, pour voir, pour savoir, parce qu'il y a encore là des choses à apprendre et parce que tout peut s'arrêter demain. Ça c'est l'esprit du chef, mais je vais vous laisser le découvrir, alors on commence par parler de l'actualité et puis ensuite vous entendrez l'histoire de Clotaire Poirier. Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Jusqu'au 4 janvier, retour sur les épisodes les plus glaçants de l'année 2025 !Dans cette forêt rwandaise perchée au sommet du monde, où reposent les gorilles qu'elle a tant aimés, la primatologue Dian Fossey semble avoir trouvé la paix. Pourtant, son tombeau raconte une autre histoire. Car derrière l'hommage rendu à la « femme qui vivait seule dans la montagne » se cache l'ombre d'un crime non résolu. Le 27 décembre 1985, Fossey est retrouvée morte, sauvagement tuée dans sa cabane. Mais comment cette scientifique si engagée pour la protection des gorilles à dos argenté a-t-elle pu connaître un tel destin ?

Quelles étapes et quelles ruptures ont été nécessaires pour faire advenir les 2030 Glorieuses ? C'est à cette question que tente de répondre dans cet extrait Sébastien Uscher, accompagnateur en transition des entreprises mais aussi en transitions intérieures. Ensemble nous parlerons de comment recréer un lien vraiment épanouissant avec notre respiration, la nature et notre maison commune. 2030 Glorieuses c'est le podcast des nouvelles croissances.

Quelles sont nouvelles croissances qui nous attendent dans la société durable, solidaire et joyeuse de demain ? Avec nos invité·es, nous imaginerons les valeurs fortes qui vont se déployer largement et pour quels bénéfices.

In this exclusive episode of The Motor Files, we sit down with Mike Musheinesh, CEO of Detroit Axle, to unpack how recent tariff policies are reshaping the auto parts industry — from supply chains and pricing to innovation and expansion.Detroit Axle grew from a small family shop in Dearborn into a national aftermarket powerhouse. But today, even established American manufacturers are feeling the pressure. Projects are paused. Costs are climbing. And customers are paying the price.Mike didn't set out to become a public voice in this debate — but when policies began threatening workers, affordability, and long-term competitiveness, staying quiet was no longer an option.This conversation dives into:How tariffs are disrupting the auto aftermarketWhy expansion plans were put on holdWhat this means for car owners, mechanics, and familiesWhy market forces — not mandates — drive real competitionThe hidden consequences few are talking aboutIf you care about cars, auto parts, American manufacturing, or where the industry is headed, this is a conversation you need to hear.

En Syrie, il n'est pas rare de croiser dans les villages des habitants, pioches à la main, à la recherche du fameux butin. « Des pièces d'or », répètent-ils tous, enfouies sous terre par pilleurs et ancêtres de civilisations antérieures. Sur les réseaux sociaux, de nombreuses rumeurs d'hommes devenus millionnaires poussent à la pratique. Interdite du temps du régime de Bachar el-Assad, elle se propage depuis sa chute dans tout le pays. Ce qui n'est pas sans risque : plusieurs personnes sont décédées ces derniers mois alors qu'elles creusaient des tunnels. Une poignée de touristes, une cité antique et trois hommes qui vident sur une table un petit sac en plastique. À l'intérieur, des pièces. Du bronze, de l'argent, de l'acier, qu'ils viennent tout juste de trouver dans les ruines d'à côté. Un homme montre aux étrangers une pièce de monnaie ancienne : « C'est une pièce grecque. Celle-ci date de l'Empire byzantin. Je les vends 50 dollars au moins, mais on peut discuter », leur affirme-t-il. Quelques mètres plus loin s'étend Bosra et son antique cité. Ces derniers mois, le sol a été retourné, les pierres tombales, ouvertes, brisées. Les traces d'hommes venus chercher un soi-disant trésor à la nuit tombée. L'un d'eux accepte anonymement de témoigner : « Bosra est sous l'égide de l'Unesco. Il se peut qu'à l'avenir, ils interdisent ces fouilles. Car, on le sait, ces pièces devraient être dans un musée. C'est la faim qui nous conduit à faire cela. Sans la faim, personne n'aurait songé à creuser. » Recrudescence de la recherche d'or Interdite du temps de Bachar el-Assad, la recherche d'or a connu une recrudescence après sa chute, en décembre, avant d'être à nouveau interdite par le gouvernement. Ahmad, c'est un prénom d'emprunt, n'en a que faire. Détecteur de métaux dans une main, pioche dans l'autre, il fouille régulièrement les alentours de chez lui. « Regardez ! C'est un fragment de boulon datant de la période ottomane », s'exclame-t-il soudain. « Je suis comme mon père, complètement obsédé par ce sujet. Lui est comme ça depuis toujours, il a 75 ans. Mais lui comme moi n'avons jamais rien trouvé », regrette-t-il. Sur les réseaux sociaux, dans les villages, les rumeurs vont bon train en Syrie. Certains parlent de signes : des croix, des trous, que seuls certains experts pourraient reconnaître. D'autres affirment qu'ils seraient devenus millionnaires grâce à des caisses d'or trouvées sous la terre. « Dans mon village, 90 % des personnes cherchent. Ce trou, nous avons travaillé dur pendant trois, quatre jours, à creuser, et au final ça n'a servi à rien. Tout ça à cause de ce détecteur de métaux. L'écran s'allume et vous indique : "C'est ici qu'il faut chercher." Au final, vous ne trouvez qu'un caillou », déplore-t-il. Assis entre les membres de sa famille, une photo entre les mains, Ibrahim al Ahmad témoigne. Son fils, 40 ans, est mort le 9 juin dernier, étouffé avec un ami dans le tunnel qu'ils avaient creusé. « Ce jour-là, ils sont restés quatre ou cinq heures sous terre, jusqu'à l'arrivée des secours. Forcément… Une personne privée d'oxygène meurt en trois minutes. Tout ça parce qu'il a fait la connaissance d'un groupe qui lui a dit : "cette terre recèle d'or, tu y trouveras forcément quelque chose." Ça l'a convaincu. C'est du gâchis », soupire-t-il, endeuillé. Un gâchis, répète-t-il, provoqué par l'ennui. Alors que 80% de la population vit encore sous le seuil de pauvreté en Syrie, cette interminable chasse au trésor illustre surtout la misère de centaines de familles.

In this episode, JT,  @TuneThyHeart  and  @demonerasers  delve into various themes surrounding faith, tradition, and societal issues. They discuss the significance of God and the implications of false idols, the importance of understanding the true meaning behind holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah, and the struggles of anxiety and mental health. The conversation also touches on the history of transportation, the influence of big oil, and the connection between prohibition and alternative fuel sources. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize the importance of community support and the need to focus on others rather than oneself. The conversation explores various themes including the impact of resource extraction, urban planning, car dependency, alternative fuels, cultural reflections in media, and the mysteries of ancient technologies. The discussion transitions into the post-apocalyptic narratives in media, particularly focusing on the show 'Paradise' and its implications about society, governance, and the potential realities of life underground. The speakers ponder the historical significance of underground infrastructures and the possibility of a hidden truth about Earth's structure and history.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS Shirts: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/WOMEN'S SHIRTS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/womens-shirts/

« Donald Trump déploie des avions de surveillance au-dessus du Nigeria, prélude à une intervention militaire des États-Unis ? » titre Afrik.com. À l'origine de cette question : des données de suivi de vol, révélées par Reuters, en début de semaine. « Depuis fin novembre, un appareil (...) du Pentagone survole quotidiennement l'espace aérien nigérian. » De quoi alimenter « les spéculations sur les intentions réelles de l'administration Trump ». Tout ça, dans un contexte diplomatique en dents de scie, car les tensions étaient, il y a peu, encore palpables : le « 1ᵉʳ novembre [dernier], Donald Trump a menacé le Nigeria d'une intervention militaire » et accusé « le gouvernement de tolérer le massacre de chrétiens », rappelle Afrik.com. « [Donald Trump] a promis de pulvériser les terroristes islamistes ». Son ministre de la Défense a confirmé que le Pentagone « se prépare à passer à l'action ». Ces déclarations ont été vivement critiquées à Abuja, où les autorités rejettent l'idée d'un « génocide chrétien ». Fin de la brouille diplomatique Et il y a quelques jours, une conférence de presse a eu lieu à Abuja, à l'occasion de la visite d'une délégation américaine. La brouille diplomatique entre les États-Unis et le Nigeria semble passée, si l'on en croit les déclarations du ministre nigérian de l'Information, qui évoque « un engagement ferme et respectueux » des deux parties. Ces collectes de renseignements, au-dessus du Nigeria, ce serait donc le « signe d'une coopération sécuritaire accrue », commente pour sa part le journal nigérian The Guardian. D'après un analyste interrogé par Afrik.com, cette activité aérienne démontre aussi la volonté de Washington de reconstituer son réseau de renseignement, dans la région sahélienne. « Après la fermeture forcée de la base américaine d'Agadez au Niger et la montée en influence de la Russie, les États-Unis cherchent manifestement à maintenir une présence stratégique en Afrique de l'Ouest, via le Ghana et, de fait, au-dessus du Nigeria », peut-on lire. À lire aussiNigeria: la brouille entre Washington et Abuja «largement résolue», annonce le gouvernement Problème de sécurité au Nigéria « Ces opérations de surveillance interviennent également plusieurs mois après l'enlèvement, au Niger voisin, d'un pilote américain travaillant pour une organisation missionnaire », rappelle aussi The Guardian. Le scénario d'une intervention américaine est-il plausible ? C'est la question que se pose Afrik.com. Et le mot clé à retenir, c'est « prudence » : « Le Nigeria reste un allié stratégique de Washington et un acteur clé de la lutte régionale contre le terrorisme. Le président nigérian a rappelé que "la violence touch(ait) toutes les communautés" et rejeté toute accusation de persécution religieuse. » Par ailleurs, le Nigeria traverse aussi une période de forte instabilité. Le président a proclamé l'état d'urgence sécuritaire en novembre, « après une succession d'attaques meurtrières et l'enlèvement de plus de 300 écoliers, dans le nord du pays. » À ce sujet, et dans ses colonnes Edito, le journal burkinabé Le Pays commente : « Si l'on en croit les autorités nigérianes, aucun élève enlevé ne se trouve encore entre les mains des groupes armés. Tous, disent-elles, ont été libérés. » Mais, il y a encore des questions sans réponse pour l'instant : dans quelles conditions ont-ils été libérés ? Y a-t-il eu paiement de rançons ? « Car, il faut le dire, le paiement de rançons ne fait que renforcer la capacité de nuisance des groupes criminels. Franchement, le Nigeria, c'est peu de le dire, a mal à sa sécurité intérieure », écrit Le Pays. Au Bénin, pays voisin du Nigeria, Patrice Talon a « fait son au revoir au Parlement » « Une intervention à forte portée institutionnelle, marquée à la fois par la mise en perspective de dix années de réformes et par un ton d'adieu assumé », selon La Nouvelle Tribune. Le journal béninois La Nation revient aussi sur ce dernier discours sur l'état de la nation, aux allures de bilan mais dont le cœur a été consacré à la tentative de coup d'État manquée du 7 décembre, « date désormais inscrite dans l'histoire politique récente du pays ». Le président a mentionné « des assaillants qu'il a décrits comme des "marginaux insensés", manipulés par des intérêts internes et externes en quête de privilèges perdus », peut-on lire. Pour le journal La Nation, ces mots veulent ainsi « souligner la gravité de l'acte, mais surtout la solidité du rempart républicain que constituent les forces armées et de sécurité ». Alors que de futures élections approchent, le président a également dit croire en une transition apaisée, marquée par le renouvellement des institutions et la continuité de l'État.

Comme pour chaques vacances, je vous propose un best-of des épisodes qui ont été dernièrement enregistrés.Comme c'est la période de Noel, j'ai rajouté un petit biais plutôt feel-good et associé aux questionnements profonds.Charles Robin est philosophe et créateur de la chaîne YouTube « Le Précepteur », qui réunit aujourd'hui plus d'un million d'abonnés. Il s'est dernièrement intéressé à une thématique aussi fascinante que complexe : le hasard. C'est donc tout naturellement que j'ai eu envie de l'inviter pour plonger dans cette notion que nous utilisons tous, parfois à tort, souvent avec mystère.Dans cet épisode, nous nous interrogeons ensemble : est-ce que le hasard existe vraiment ? Ou est-ce simplement un mot que nous utilisons pour désigner ce que nous ne comprenons pas ?Charles, avec son approche pédagogique et nuancée, nous entraîne sur les traces de Spinoza, Sartre, Jung et d'autres penseurs majeurs pour explorer le déterminisme, la liberté, le sens et nos conditionnements, aussi bien sociaux que biologiques.J'ai voulu comprendre avec lui si donner du sens à une coïncidence était un acte rationnel ou une nécessité psychologique.Nous avons parlé de synchronicités, de loi de l'attraction, de spiritualité, mais aussi du besoin très humain de croire que certaines choses sont "destinées". Car au fond, dans un monde incertain et parfois brutal, n'est-ce pas réconfortant de penser que les signes existent pour nous guider ?Avec beaucoup de sincérité, Charles partage aussi son parcours : comment il a commencé à publier des vidéos de philo à une heure du matin, sans plan de carrière, juste porté par une envie de transmettre. Il parle de ses inspirations, de ses lectures, de ce que la philosophie peut nous apporter dans nos vies très concrètes, à travers nos relations amoureuses, nos colères en voiture ou nos moments d'échec.Ce que j'ai particulièrement aimé dans cette discussion, c'est cette manière de ramener la pensée philosophique dans notre quotidien, avec simplicité et honnêteté. Nous avons aussi exploré des sujets qui me sont chers : la liberté réelle (ou illusoire), la responsabilité individuelle, le regard que l'on porte sur soi et sur les autres, et cette capacité à prendre du recul, à observer nos propres conditionnements pour mieux avancer.Un échange dense, humain, et profondément inspirant. À écouter si vous vous êtes déjà demandé pourquoi certaines choses vous arrivent, ou si vous voulez simplement apprendre à mieux comprendre votre propre façon de voir le monde.

In this episode, we sit down with Jon Khlok, founder of Kent Island Cars & Coffee, Cult Classic Car Meet, and the JDM & Exotics show to break down his legendary "car trading" journey.The core of the conversation follows Jon's incredible "trade-up" journey, which began with a humble $3,000 Mercedes 420SEL and a "broken" BMW 335i that he fixed with a single $75 part. We trace his strategic swaps through a lineup of JDM and Euro legends—including a Nissan Skyline R32 GTST, a Porsche 996 Targa, and a rare yellow Skyline R34 GTT—culminating in the acquisition of a Mark IV Toyota Supra that he ultimately sold for $60,000.We also discuss the logistics of trading cars across state lines, how to spot undervalued assets (like the N54 BMW platform), and the serendipitous story of how Jon founded one of the biggest car meets in Maryland by pitching a BBQ restaurant owner in a parking lot.And don't miss Jon's favorite episode featuring the secrets to importing JDM Legends into the US: https://buzzsprout.com/2316026/episodes/17376238 *** Your Favorite Automotive Podcast - Now Arriving Weekly!!! *** Listen on your favorite platform and visit https://carsloved.com for full episodes, our automotive blog, Guest Road Trip Playlist and our new CAR-ousel of Memories photo archive.

The former soldier in the French army who seized power in his African homeland. The leader of the Central African Republic who proclaimed himself emperor. The emperor who ruled as an avaricious dictator. Jean-Bédel Bokassa's time in power in the CAR began with promises of equality and justice. Hailed as a beacon of strength, he would go on to preside over a regime of eccentricity, excess and sadistic cruelty. But decades before the surreal coronation, the 17 wives and the vast collection of luxurious possessions, our story begins in a much humbler setting. In a forested village near the CAR's southern border, rebellion is in the air… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann. Featuring Louisa Lombard, Richard Moncrieff, Gino Vlavonou.

Car buying can be one of the biggest — and most stressful — financial decisions we make. And too often, the auto industry feels like it was built to leave women out of the conversation. That ends today. In this episode, Jean Chatzky sits down with Chaya M. Milchtein, automotive educator, author of Mechanic Shop Femme's Guide to Car Ownership, and all-around badass when it comes to helping women and LGBTQ+ folks feel confident in car buying, maintenance, and ownership.
