Every family has secrets. But some secrets have the power to completely reshape who you think you are. In this week's episode, both of our storytellers uncover revelations that change everything they thought they knew about themselves.Part 1: When Ryan Jones receives a DNA test from his mom for Christmas, he expects to learn a little more about his family history and heritage.Part 2: After years of unexplained headaches, Alicia Silver is finally diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.Ryan Jones is an award-winning spoken word artist, an environmental engineer, lawyer, and a lemon pepper wing connoisseur. In October 2025, Ryan founded the non-profit organization, Black Empowerment for Environmental Sustainability (BEES), that seeks to create culture and conversation around the pursuit of social and environmental justice by using the performing arts. Ryan was a participant in the Round 11 Reiser Atlanta Artists Lab with the Alliance Theater, where he began development of his debut stage play, "in spite of years of silence," a choreopoem about love, forgiveness, and healing in Black parent-child relationships. Ryan was born and raised in the Metro Atlanta area, where he currently resides. You can find out more about Ryan and his work at gohomeryan.com.Alicia Silver is the Founder and Chief Experience Officer (CXO) of The Silver Lining Experience, a wellness and personal‑development platform rooted in Rest, Clarity, and Alignment. Her work spans restorative hospitality, storytelling, and community experiences designed to help people regulate, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. She spent 30 years in global financial services, building a career defined by precision, pressure, and performance — all while her body was quietly signaling that something was changing. That disconnect between what she projected and what she was actually experiencing became the turning point of her story. Alicia is now writing her debut memoir, drawing from her lived experience navigating invisible illness while rising through global financial services to the role of Director in 2019. She uses storytelling and health‑literacy advocacy to help people recognize the early clues their bodies offer, communicate more clearly with their providers, and move through major transitions without shame. Alicia lives in New Jersey and is a partial empty nester who believes in the power of pausing long enough to hear yourself again. Her mission is to make conversations about health and identity easier, earlier, and more human — one story at a time.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ken and Lima soak in the Browns' 3-1 start, admitting their low win predictions look foolish and saying they'll happily be wrong with the Jets next and a chance at four straight. They marvel at how far the mood has swung from open anger and a "punt year" feeling to stacking wins, and they shrug off the sustainability debate for now. A Chicago caller listening from her driveway shares a Christmas bet that forces her Steelers-loving husband to wear a Browns jersey and deliver a speech praising Cleveland.

Brian From talks with John Brennan, national recruiting coordinator for Angel Tree, a Prison Fellowship ministry that works through local churches to deliver Christmas gifts to children of incarcerated parents on their parents' behalf. John shares how his family got involved in 2001, when a church delivered Angel Tree gifts to the four grandchildren he and his wife were raising while their father was in prison. He describes the shame, guilt, and feelings of worthlessness these children often carry, and how churches can help break the cycle that leads many to follow a parent into prison. John tells the story of a 13-year-old boy whose gift tag from his father opened the door to reconnecting. He also explains how churches can stay involved year-round through Bible cards, prayer, and personal delivery, and he invites listeners and churches to sign up at prisonfellowship.org.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are on Vancouver Island continuing our visit to British Columbia with our preview of the 2026 Countdown to Christmas movies. There's a little bit of something for everyone in this year's lineup. Join us at the table for all the details!

How long could you sit in your workplace break room doing absolutely nothing before somebody noticed? An hour? Maybe two? Well, one former police lieutenant apparently decided to push that experiment all the way to NINE HOURS, and naturally The Rizzuto Show has nothing but questions, admiration and several concerns about the safety of the station coffee.Welcome to another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where we begin with the story of a veteran Burlington police lieutenant accused of spending massive chunks of his shifts sitting in the break room instead of, you know… police-ing. Sometimes it was nine hours. Sometimes he mixed things up and only spent six hours in there before doing three hours of actual work. But while crime may have existed outside those walls, the crew makes one very important observation: crime in that break room was ZERO.Protect and serve, baby.Unfortunately, our break-room hero's story gets considerably less heroic when we learn about an alleged confrontation with the officer who reported him and more than $50,000 in overpayments that he apparently never bothered mentioning. Suddenly the safest coffee station in Vermont has become a very expensive place to sit.Then we move from people who stink at working to people who apparently just… stink.The crew dives into a list ranking rock bands with the worst-smelling fan bases, and it immediately becomes one of those conversations where everybody you've ever seen at a concert is about to catch a stray. Phish takes the top spot, followed by the Grateful Dead and Insane Clown Posse, while GWAR, Primus, Tool, Slipknot, Korn, Pantera, Limp Bizkit, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, Deftones and plenty more get dragged into the fragrant festivities.Basically, if you've ever attended a rock festival in August and thought, “What IS that smell?” congratulations — apparently science has finally arrived.This comedy podcast also asks the opposite question: which band has the BEST-smelling fans? Coldplay? The Killers? Santana? Jimmy Buffett? We learn that determining a fan base's aroma involves an alarming amount of discussion about patchouli, weed, mothballs, tequila, feet and minivans.From there, Crap on Celebrities delivers another pile of entertainment chaos. Eddie Vedder surprises fans during a performance of “Hunger Strike,” Alice Cooper discusses his past addiction struggles, Nicolas Cage explains why modern superhero movies have become a little too much like professional wrestling, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is putting on the Santa suit for a new Christmas movie.There's also a debate over what Rizz should watch while he has the house to himself. Mortal Kombat? Barbarian? Normal? Apparently being alone for one evening requires the same level of strategic planning normally reserved for military operations.Plus, we get into Robert Downey Jr.'s painful Iron Man stunt injury, the return of 24 Jump Street, Hugh Jackman heading to Treasure Island, and predictions for the Halloween costumes everybody will be wearing this year.And because October is officially here, the crew lays out the Rizz Show October fundraiser supporting Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. The Halloweirdo stickers are back, the Rizz Show billboard is hitting the road, Hats of the Week are returning, and Greek Fire is getting involved to help raise money for the kids.So today we've got break-room bandits, smelly Phish fans, Nicolas Cage superhero complaints, questionable Halloween costumes, Rizz's movie-night dilemma and an extremely important reminder that if you're attending a concert anytime soon, maybe hit the deodorant one extra time.Another perfectly normal comedy podcast from Rizz and the gang.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A century ago, at a notorious men's penitentiary in New York City, gay inmates managed to find joy and community through their annual Christmas show, the “Fag Follies.” This season, join Eric Marcus as he delves into their lives and explores their world within and outside the prison walls. ———

St. Thérèse of Lisieux discovered that holiness isn't about grand gestures — it's about small things done with great love. As a teenager, Thérèse felt every joy and sorrow so deeply it nearly overwhelmed her, until one quiet Christmas night changed her completely. Inside the Carmelite convent, she found her calling not in dramatic penances but in her Little Way — smiling at an irritating sister, offering a headache without complaint, and simply talking to Jesus the way you'd talk to a friend. "I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses." Want to keep living Thérèse's story after the episode ends?

What are the right opening hours for your shop, and what should you actually be using to make that decision?Hi, I'm retail strategist and founder of Resilient Retail Club, Catherine Erdly.This episode is brought to you by our sponsor Capify - business funding made simple. Find out more at capify.comEarlier this year I visited Jedburgh and Kelso in the Scottish Borders for my A to Z of independent retail, and I made a very London-centric mistake. I went on a Sunday. The cafes were open, the chains were open, and between the two towns I found exactly one independent shop open. When I shared it on Instagram, it started one of the liveliest conversations I've had all year. Should independent shops open on Sundays? Is it worth opening if the footfall isn't there? Do customers now expect you to be open seven days a week?So rather than tell you what I think, I asked eight independent shopkeepers how they actually decide their opening hours, and their answers couldn't be more different. One owner cut her week from six days to four and saw her sales go up. Another went to seven days a week and has just moved into bigger premises. One closes on Mondays because the whole village does. Another stays open on the afternoon her neighbours shut. You'll hear all of them in their own words, from Peckham to Pembrokeshire and Bantry to Lyme Regis.By the end of the episode you'll know what to weigh up before you change your hours, why one quiet Tuesday tells you far less than you think, and the one thing all eight shopkeepers agreed on, whatever days they choose to open. If you've ever stood in an empty shop wondering whether it was worth unlocking the door today, or you're deciding what to do over Christmas, this one's for you.Chapters00:00 Why I found just one independent shop open on a Sunday01:51 Consistency, the rhythm of your town and trial and error06:24 Who covers the hours, and what the numbers actually say10:26 When the decision goes beyond the numbersResources and linksFree Christmas guide and week-by-week planner: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/christmasEpisode 321, Retail Christmas Forecast: What the Summer Numbers Really Tell Us: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/podcast-episode/uk-retail-sales-summer-2026/Tell me your opening hours on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resilientretailclub/All episodes of the Resilient Retail Game Plan: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/podcast/Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/catherineerdlyMentioned in this episode:Capify

If you're a pressure washing or exterior cleaning business owner trying to figure out what to do when the wash season ends, this video breaks down the second business question so you can decide without wrecking the business you already built.Every August and September, owners start shopping for something that isn't seasonal. Junk removal, trash bin cleaning, carpet cleaning, snow plowing. They all sound logical on paper, and Jonathon Henderson from Pressure Washing Marketing Pros walks through why each one fights your calendar instead of fitting it.We market for over 130 exterior cleaning businesses, and 60 of them hang Christmas lights every year, so this comes from watching the same pattern play out again and again.In this video:✅ Why a year round second business splits your focus and leaves you with two half built companies✅ The one filter to run any second business through: does it fit my season or fight it✅ How Christmas lights use the customers, trucks, ladders, insurance, and crew you already pay for✅ What a realistic first season looks like, from a slow start to a $30,000 to $40,000 seasonIf you want to see what this looks like in your specific market, book a Lead Flow Acceleration Session and walk away knowing your next best steps.

Thanksgiving is so late this year that between Small Business Saturday and Christmas, you have exactly 27 days to sell. There is no time inside that window to go find new customers, which means the bakers who fill those 27 days with orders are the ones whose neighbors already know they exist before the end of October.This week I am walking you through a 10-minute check-in on your third-quarter numbers, then a three-week plan to build local visibility before your holiday pre-orders open. You will leave with three numbers to track and a simple, repeatable way to get seen by the people already looking for a local baker this season.

Dopeycon Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2345507PAtreon: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastEpisode summaryThis week on the Wednesday Dose of Dopey!, Photographer and adventurer Justin Crompier, known on Instagram as Just Passing Through, shares his journey from suburban New Jersey opioid addiction to building a life around recovery, creativity, and the open road.Justin traces his early relationship with prescription medication, his fascination with drug culture, and the college painkiller habit that eventually became heroin addiction. Along the way: padding his student-film budget to buy pills, getting paid to participate in cosmetic testing, offering dealers gas instead of money, getting robbed at knifepoint in his pajamas, and crushing up his remaining pills while a police officer approached his totaled car. In an eerie connection, that last incident mirrors the overdose story he had already turned into his senior thesis film.After a relapse at the Peach Music Festival, a Christmas visit from his cousin helped Justin finally recognize his addiction. Watching Wild also awakened the possibility of a different life. He returned to treatment, embraced a twelve-step fellowship, and slowly rebuilt—delivering pizzas, working at UPS, and developing his photography between shifts. A trip to Yosemite and Big Sur eventually inspired him to leave UPS, build out a van with help from his recovery community, and pursue the adventures he once believed were impossible.All that and MORE on this week's Dopey Dose!

Curious? Take The Free Money Stress Quiz!Ready? Buy Our Simplified Budget System Now!Budget besties, what happens when your income changes every month?Maybe your spouse works in sales. Maybe you're an entrepreneur. Maybe commissions and bonuses mean one month feels amazing…and the next month has you wondering how you're supposed to make a consistent budget when your paycheck is anything but consistent.In this episode, we're breaking down exactly how to create consistency even when your income fluctuates.The goal is to build your regular monthly budget around a realistic bare-bones income number—the amount you can reasonably count on even during a lower-income month. From there, we want your bills, minimum debt payments, groceries, gas, and everyday spending covered first.And when those bigger commission checks or bonuses hit? That extra money gets a job, too.We're talking about using higher-income months to fund savings buckets, prepare for future expenses, make progress on debt, and—when your income swings dramatically—build an income holding account that can help smooth out those lower months.We're also answering another question we hear all the time: “How am I supposed to budget for groceries and gas when those numbers are different every month?”This is where your 90-day audit comes in. Looking back at approximately three normal months of spending can help you figure out what your real-life averages actually are. Then you can create a consistent spending rhythm instead of letting your lifestyle expand and contract every time your income changes.We also get into savings buckets and why you probably won't get every single one right the first time. Christmas, back-to-school expenses, homecoming, travel, annual bills, kids' activities…sometimes you don't know what something costs until you live through it.That's okay.Your first year of budgeting gives you information that makes next year easier. Even having half of an expense saved ahead of time means that's half you don't have to suddenly find in your monthly budget.Let's Take Our Relationship To The Next Level:1️⃣ Facebook Group ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/facebook2️⃣ Be on the Podcast ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/livecall3️⃣ Private 1-on-1 Coaching. ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/coachingThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not personal financial, legal, or tax advice.This description may contain affiliate links, meaning we may get a commission at no cost to you if you click & purchase.Click here to view our privacy policy.

This week on The Breggin Hour, Peter and I sat down with one of the more wonderful men we know: Sheriff Richard Mack, founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, the Arizona sheriff who took the federal government all the way to the Supreme Court over the Brady Bill—and won. He has a new book. The title is deliberately offensive. He said so himself, and he meant it that way. The Democrat Murder of America: Demagoguery in the First Degree. The cover is a jackass in a patriotic hat, a knife in its hoof, stabbing the Statue of Liberty in the back. Sheriff Mack admitted it is horrible. That was the point. He wanted your attention. The book site is murderofamerica.com. There is an ebook at $14.92, an audiobook at $17.76, and a paperback at $26.76. They planned those numbers. Columbus. 1776. 2026. This is not a campaign pamphlet for a party. Sheriff Mack said it is not a pro-Trump book and not a pro-Republican book. It is a history book about what is being done to the country from within—and a manual for people who still believe the Constitution and the individual human being are worth defending. You cannot have communism and freedom That was the sentence he kept coming back to. Those philosophies are not cousins. They are not “different paths to the same good.” They are the antithesis of each other. Communism does not recognize civil rights. It does not honor the person. It tells you how many children you may have, what you may say, what you may own, and what you must obey. The promise of forced equality is a lie. The individual is erased. Peter and I have spent years saying the same thing in another language: collectivism—religious, political, or “scientific”—is the opposite of Christianity and of the American founding. The First Amendment begins with faith for a reason. A Creator who made each person in His image is not compatible with a state that claims ownership of the soul and rejects the individuality and unique qualities of each person. Sheriff Mack asked a question the media will not ask the new crop of openly socialist and communist candidates: What will you do with the people who refuse to cooperate? We already know part of the answer. We lived it. COVID was the rehearsal On the show, we talked about the last few years as if they were ancient history. They are not. Children locked inside. Playgrounds closed. Churches shuttered. Babies staring at masked faces for the first years of life. Australians held for months in camps. Planes on which you could remove the mask only to eat—so Sheriff Mack ate peanuts for hours, until they changed the rule to force the little ritual of pull-down, bite, pull-up. Control for control's sake. They learned that a “crisis of the day” can make Americans surrender schools, businesses, worship, and the Constitution. Justice Scalia, in the very case Sheriff Mack won, wrote that the Constitution protects us from our own best intentions. It divides power so we will resist the temptation to concentrate it as an expedient solution to the emergency of the moment. Never let a crisis go to waste. That is not wisdom. That is a method. If you think that chapter is over, Sheriff Mack's warning is simple: wait until the people who admired that machinery hold still more offices. **History they hoped you would forget** The book is full of names younger Americans were never taught. Nikita Khrushchev, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, told Americans they were gullible. You will not accept communism outright, he said. We will feed you small doses of socialism until you wake up and find you already have communism. We will not need to invade. We will destroy you from within. We will bury you. Sheriff Mack's argument is that a political movement inside the Democrat Party is fulfilling that threat—not because every Democrat is a villain, he said, but because the party's dominant direction is to replace the Constitution with something closer to Marx. He talked about Dorothy Kilgallen, the What's My Line television game show panelist and journalist who interviewed Jack Ruby and then died the same night her JFK notes disappeared—barbiturates and alcohol, ruled an accident, the same pattern as Marilyn Monroe. Vince Foster. The sudden expansion of Vietnam after JFK was gone. The deep state is not a new invention. He talked about CNN's Sarah Sidner, who came to his daughter's house, recorded eighty-five minutes, heard again and again why they were even talking—his Supreme Court victory against the Clinton Justice Department—and then went on Anderson Cooper and mentioned none of it. Peter and I know that pattern. We have been walked out of buildings we were invited into. YouTube banned us for life after we announced *COVID-19 and the Global Predators*. The media is not a referee. It is a participant. Elections, cities, and the Senate Sheriff Mack described a country in which a tourist from Buenos Aires can walk into a New York polling place, register without ID and without English, vote, and fly home to brag. He described the open talk of abolishing or neutering the Senate and packing the Court—so that a handful of giant cities decide the fate of small states. Destroy the Constitution, he said, and you destroy the country. He also said something we hear too rarely: there are good Democrats, including Christians, who have been lied to. The book is written to be handed to them. Start with the epilogue, he suggested. Then talk. That is not hatred. That is an invitation to wake up from indoctrination. The smartest person in the room, he said, is the one who can recognize his own brainwashing. A peaceful manual, while peace is still possible Peter's closing on the hour was short: buy the book. You are not only buying pages. You are supporting one of the great living voices for constitutional liberty in this country. Sheriff Mack and co-author Dan Perkins talked, while they were writing, about what happens if the book actually gains traction. They have already been smeared. They know the next step. Perkins told him he hoped their wives would be taken care of. That is not melodrama. That is what it costs now to say plain things in public. The alternative they offer is still peaceful: know the history, refuse the next crisis-of-the-day, restore local accountability, protect the sheriff's oath to the Constitution rather than to Washington, and come together as good people who still love this country. We are of a generation that did duck-and-cover, that watched people shot trying to leave East Germany, that saw COVID used as a nationwide obedience drill. Younger people have been propagandized in school and have not seen the same failures with their own eyes. That is why a book like this matters. It is a history lesson and a warning in one. Christmas will be here before we think about it. Give this book as a gift of freedom—one for you, one for the family member who still believes the slogans. The website again: **murderofamerica.com** *The Breggin Hour* airs on America Out Loud. We will keep talking. We refuse to stop. The truth still sets people free.

Pedestrian safety ruffles more feathers online than almost anything else I talk about. Who knew? Most of the comments on my advocacy posts are beautiful. Some stop me cold. And my first instinct is not calm, graceful or enlightened. It's to crack my knuckles, open my notes app and write a three-chapter rebuttal, complete with an appendix. Maybe you know that feeling. Maybe it's not a comment section for you, but a partner, a parent, a boss, or your sister-in-law at Christmas. Someone says something that gets right under your skin, and suddenly you're in a tug of war that nobody wins. In this episode, I share: The mistake I made for years in my travel safety work, and why having the facts on my side never changed a single mind What the research says actually does shift people's thinking (hint: it's not a better argument) Three phrases I use, from gentlest to firmest, so I can stay true to what I believe without people-pleasing or picking a fight The one phrase I refuse to say when a comment feels like it's about my mum, and what I say instead A simple image from therapy that has saved me hours of wasted energy (and a few late nights in the comment section) Plus, an update on my dad and his very strong opinions about phones. If you're tired of either biting your tongue or burning yourself out trying to win, this one's for you. Want to turn your story into something bigger?
