On a November night in Key West, FL in 2017, friends Paula and Roger were hanging out and partying in Paula's makeshift home nicknamed “The Treehouse.” Without warning, they were suddenly accosted by two masked men, leading to a tragic killing. The subsequent police investigation quickly mutated into a convoluted conspiracy involving drugs, coercion, and corruption. The result: a lone defendant representing himself in court swearing that he had been falsely accused - a man Paula swore was not one of her attackers… Special thanks to Franklin Tyrone Tucker for his willingness to speak with us for this episode. Written by Sam Foster, Edited and Engineered by Scott Ecklein, and Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.

This week, we welcome the new year with Venus and Mars in a conjunction to each other and both to the Sun, and all three in opposition to Jupiter. The Libra Last Quarter Moon adds to the week's emphasis on relationships, and a listener question about finding purpose in your birth chart.

Timestamps [1:15] Sun conjoins Venus (Jan. 6, 8:36 am PST) at 16º22' Capricorn. The degree of this conjunction is called the Venus Star Point. Check out Episode 282 for a refresher on the Venus Star Point, and find your own Venus Star Point at sophiavenus.com. This is one of the most powerful days of the year to manifest the situations and relationships that align with your heart and values. [4:05] Venus conjoins Mars (Jan. 7, 6:43 pm PST) at 18º09' Capricorn. The Sabian symbol for this conjunction is 19 Capricorn, A child of about five carrying a huge shopping bag. Motivation will be high to pursue the things that you want and enjoy. [6:54] Sun conjoins Mars (Jan. 9, 3:41 am PST) at 19º12' Capricorn, on the Sabian symbol, 20 Capricorn, A hidden choir singing. The Sun, Venus, and Mars are together at 19º Capricorn and opposed Jupiter in Cancer. This Mars cazimi day is ideal for sharing something you've been working on with the world. [9:03] Venus opposes Jupiter (Jan. 9, 9:35 am PST) at 20º11' Capricorn-Cancer. This transit can indicate a tendency to overdo it, to spend more money than you need to on things that don't necessarily satisfy you. Give some thought to what could make your relationships happier. [10:46] On Jan. 10, the Sun and Mars in Capricorn oppose Jupiter within about six hours of each other. The Sun opposes Jupiter at 12:42 am PST, and Mars opposes Jupiter at 6:25 am PST. Avoid negative solar tendencies, such as boasting, bragging, and demanding the spotlight. Temper Mars tendencies such as insisting on having your own way. On the flipside, your hard work could be acknowledged. [12:06] Moon Report! The Libra Last Quarter Moon (Jan. 10, 7:48 am PST) is at 20º24' Libra-Capricorn. This Last Quarter Moon is the last major phase in the New Moon cycle that began with the Sagittarius New Moon (Dec. 19, 2025). Seek resolution to the conflict between collaboration and individual ambition. Sabian symbols: 21 Libra, A crowd upon the beach (Moon) and 21 Capricorn, A relay race (Sun). [15:09] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). This is the Last Quarter in an LPFC that began with a Solar Eclipse New Moon on Oct. 14, 2023, at 21º07' Libra. The First Quarter of this LPFC was on July 13, 2024. The Full Moon in this LPFC was on April 12, 2025, at 23º19' minutes Libra. [17:05] The Moon in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus (Jan. 6, 5:05 am PST). It is VOC for 3 hours, 52 minutes, then enters Virgo (8:57 am PST). Use this VOC Moon period to get in the habit of stretching your creative muscles. [18:34] The Moon opposes Neptune in Virgo-Pisces (Jan. 8, 3:23 pm PST). It's VOC for 43 minutes, then enters Libra (4:06 pm PST). Use this VOC Moon period to get in the habit of appreciating the artistic and non-conformist people in your life, without feeling like you need to change them. [20:06] The Moon squares Venus in Libra-Capricorn (Jan. 10, 9:54 am PST). It's VOC for 17 hours, 1 minute, then enters Scorpio (Jan. 11, 2:55 am PST). Use this VOC Moon period to get in the habit of using structure, such as a daily planner, to track your New Moon goals and prioritize nurturing relationships. [22:11] Listener Ginger asks about finding life purpose in the birth chart.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: From History Buffs to Choir Stars: A Stockholm Christmas Story Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-12-22-08-38-20-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Stockholm vaknade till en gnistrande vintrig morgon i Gamla Stan.En: Stockholm woke up to a sparkling winter morning in Gamla Stan.Sv: De smala kullerstensgatorna var täckta av ett lätt lager snö och glittrade av tusentals ljus.En: The narrow cobblestone streets were covered with a light layer of snow and glittered with thousands of lights.Sv: Julmarknaderna doftade av glögg och pepparkakor, och julsångerna hördes överallt.En: The Christmas markets smelled of glögg and gingerbread, and Christmas songs could be heard everywhere.Sv: Bland dessa gator vandrade Axel och Lina, båda förväntansfulla inför deras planerade äventyr.En: Among these streets strolled Axel and Lina, both excited for their planned adventure.Sv: Axel var ny i stan.En: Axel was new in town.Sv: Han älskade historia och såg fram emot en guidad tur för att lära sig mer om stadens förflutna.En: He loved history and looked forward to a guided tour to learn more about the city's past.Sv: Lina, å andra sidan, var uppväxt här.En: Lina, on the other hand, grew up here.Sv: Hon älskade stadens traditioner men kände att det var dags att delta i något nytt, något juligt.En: She loved the city's traditions but felt it was time to participate in something new, something Christmas-themed.Sv: "Det här blir kul", sa Axel när de närmade sig samlingspunkten för vad de trodde var en historisk rundvandring.En: "This will be fun," said Axel as they approached the meeting point for what they thought was a historical tour.Sv: Lina nickade ivrigt, insvamlad av stadens julstämning.En: Lina nodded eagerly, immersed in the city's Christmas atmosphere.Sv: De anmälde sig och när de gick med gruppen, kände de ingenting annat än förväntan och julglädje.En: They signed up and as they joined the group, they felt nothing but anticipation and holiday joy.Sv: Men snart insåg de sitt misstag.En: But soon they realized their mistake.Sv: Istället för att stanna upp framför gamla byggnader och lyssna på historiska berättelser, fann de sig på väg mot en övningssession för en julkör!En: Instead of stopping in front of old buildings and listening to historical stories, they found themselves heading toward a rehearsal session for a Christmas choir!Sv: Axel och Lina stirrade på varandra, förvånade men också kittlade av situationens tokighet.En: Axel and Lina stared at each other, surprised but also tickled by the absurdity of the situation.Sv: "Jag trodde vi skulle höra om kungar och drottningar", viskade Axel till Lina.En: "I thought we would hear about kings and queens," whispered Axel to Lina.Sv: "Och jag ville bara sjunga med", svarade Lina, fastän hon visste om sin tonlöshet.En: "And I just wanted to sing along," replied Lina, even though she knew she was tone-deaf.Sv: Trots att de inte kunde sjunga, bestämde de sig för att stanna.En: Despite not being able to sing, they decided to stay.Sv: Det blev snart kaotiskt.En: It soon became chaotic.Sv: Deras försök att följa melodin blev till en sorglig polka av toner som dansade helt ur led.En: Their attempt to follow the melody turned into a sad polka of notes completely out of step.Sv: Kören såg på dem med en blandning av förfäran och tillgivenhet.En: The choir looked at them with a mix of horror and affection.Sv: Efter en särskilt katastrofal repetition drog Axel Lina åt sidan.En: After a particularly disastrous rehearsal, Axel pulled Lina aside.Sv: "Vad säger du om att vi försöker något nytt?En: "What do you say we try something new?Sv: Vi kanske kan vara den roliga delen av kören?"En: Maybe we can be the funny part of the choir?"Sv: Lina fnissade.En: Lina giggled.Sv: "Som en typiskt svensk julsketch!"En: "Like a typical Swedish Christmas sketch!"Sv: Och så blev det.En: And so it happened.Sv: På julaftonens konsert, omvandlades Axels och Linas misslyckanden till en glädjefull parodi.En: On Christmas Eve's concert, Axel's and Lina's failures transformed into a joyful parody.Sv: Medvetet sjöng de fel, men med sådant engagemang och charm att de fick hela publiken att skratta och jubla.En: Intentionally, they sang off-key, but with such commitment and charm that they made the entire audience laugh and cheer.Sv: Efter deras nummer fylldes rummet av applåder.En: After their number, the room filled with applause.Sv: Människor kom fram med leenden och tackade dem för en oförglömlig show.En: People came up with smiles and thanked them for an unforgettable show.Sv: Även dirigenten klappade dem på ryggen och bjöd in dem att delta igen nästa år.En: Even the conductor patted them on the back and invited them to participate again next year.Sv: Axel tittade ut över det glada folkhavet och log bred.En: Axel looked out over the happy crowd and smiled broadly.Sv: "Det här var mer roligt än någon historisk tur," sa han.En: "This was more fun than any historical tour," he said.Sv: Lina lade till, "Det visar att man inte alltid måste vara perfekt.En: Lina added, "It shows you don't always have to be perfect.Sv: Man måste bara ha kul."En: You just have to have fun."Sv: Och så, i hjärtat av Gamla Stan, lärde sig Axel och Lina en värdefull läxa om att omfamna det oväntade och njuta av varje enkelt ögonblick.En: And so, in the heart of Gamla Stan, Axel and Lina learned a valuable lesson about embracing the unexpected and enjoying every single moment.Sv: Deras jul blev den bästa någonsin, fylld av skratt och nya vänner, på Stockholms mest magiska plats.En: Their Christmas turned out to be the best ever, filled with laughter and new friends, in Stockholm's most magical place.

On this episode of Preaching to the Choir, I challenge a comfortable lie too many men believe: that saying you'd die for your family somehow equals leadership.Words are easy. Declarations are cheap. Virtue signaling costs nothing.Living for your family is where the real work begins. Consistency. Discipline. Showing up in the mundane and the boring, day after day, when no one is watching. That's how trust is built. That's how families are strengthened. That's how legacy is earned.We live in a culture obsessed with talk and performance, yet allergic to responsibility and follow-through. This episode is a reminder that leadership isn't found in dramatic sacrifice, but in quiet obedience, daily effort, and long-term commitment.Stop talking about who you'd die for. Start proving who you're willing to live for.CarniVault Freeze Dried Meats-Use "MG10" to save!https://carnivault.comUse MG20 to save 20% at Wasatch Wagyuhttps://wasatchwagyu.comUse Code "MGS15" for %15 OFF on your first order!https://firecracker.farm/Join my patreonhttps://patreon.com/mikeglover

Some people spend their lives chasing the paranormal. Henry never had to. It started when he was four years old, half-asleep in his grandparents' house, hearing his mother's voice call his name from the dark… even though she never did. From that moment on, something seemed to recognize him—no matter where in the world he went. In this episode, a lifelong sensitive walks us through the pattern that's followed him across countries, states, and decades. A funeral where the face in the casket changed before his eyes. A night in Moreno Valley when a black mass hovered over his father's bed, then moved straight into his room and pressed down on his mattress. The week he slept in the living room, only to be comforted every night by a full choir of unseen voices singing him to sleep. A spinning beer bottle no one was touching. A shower curtain shoved from the inside when no one was there. And then, the moment that rewired everything: a simple prayer for a lost dog… answered hours later in a way that defies coincidence. #RealGhostStories #Paranormal #TrueHaunting #LifelongSensitive #ShadowPerson #GuardianAngels #MiracleMoment #LostDogReturned #HauntedLife #SpiritsFollowedMe #GhostStoriesPodcast #SupernaturalExperiences #CreepyEncounters #SpiritualProtection  Love real ghost stories?

What do you get when a man hears a podcast, has an epiphany in his garage, and decides to educate millions of guys on TikTok about menopause? You get Jesse Robertson (the creator behind Husbands for Menopause) and one of our favorite conversations ever.This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I sit down with Jesse to talk about how he started spiraling (in a good way!) into understanding menopause, better supporting his wife, and educating millions of men. Our conversation digs into why men absolutely need to be part of the menopause conversation, how to have more empathy for your spouse, and effective ways to communicate. We even brainstorm the very first Menopause Men's Choir (which is exactly as chaotic and delightful as it sounds) and laugh our way through “banana wrapper” moments that happen when your perimenopause brain cannot find the words.Enjoy the conversation, share this episode to your husband! Jesse believes with better understanding men can be more supportive—and after this episode, you'll believe it too. We love to hear from you, leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com.
