Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles for making it to the Super Bowl for the second time in three years. I'm excited about it but not too invested. Over the years I've opened my eyes to the lies and the bullshit that we are fed day in and day out. The creation of sport as a form of entertainment and distraction being one of them. I went down a few rabbit holes and the Roman Circus Theory was one of them. Give them food and entertainment to keep them occupied, distracted and docile. Listen/watch for more.

recorded January 8, 2025 This year we want more adventures, and that means making some sort of plan, so I'm told. We're looking for cool Texas events, trips, and things to look forward to. Planners don't post events so early in the year, so I like to keep a list of known organizers, and themes I hope to find. Circuses, balloon festivals, conventions.

Welcome to rabbitHOLE's Season One Finale/New Year's Eve Bonus Episode.  The last rabbit holes of 2024 include: Archaic Japanese Crime Families Theater Hopping + Line Cutting Pickleball Gangs Bee Keeping Age Konrad visits Kobe, Japan, and delves into the very expensive (and ultra-marbled) beef for which it is known. He discovers the "real Kobe's" criminal underbelly with its aging membership and inevitable demise. Laura admits to working at a movie theater and infers that if you are cool about it, hopping from theater to theater MIGHT be tolerated. Hill may disagree, but we can all agree that Jason's dad was a line hopper and that's NOT okay! Is "Bee Keeping Age" a new colloquialism for "person of a certain age?"  The answers you seek lie within this episode. APOLOGIES:  The Yakuza "Social Network," Shakshuka, World History (specifically the Greek and Roman Empiracal eras, Hill's Dad + Jason's Dad, Movie Theaters, the United Nations (again), Pickleball, Pickling, Beekeeping, Circuses, Lions, Tigers, Ligers, Sovereign Citizens, and a few others we probably forgot to mention.   As always, rabbitHOLE is unscripted and inspired by the CREW's real-life rabbit hole adventures.

The 2nd century Roman Poet Juvenal is quoted as saying, “Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt.” Today we still live under the Roman system, and the world is being fed bread and circuses every day through dialectics, false signs and wonders and culture shaping — all for the ultimate destination that the bible warned of 2,000 years ago: for the world to marvel after the Roman Beast.

Morning Show 10 - 25 - 24 Hour 1 Circuses by The Watchdog

We're back for the first episode of Peter Capaldi's final year — a simple, well-told tale of Girl Meets Girl, Girl Becomes Puddle, Girl Loses Girl and, finally, Girl Goes off with Her Tutor on a Series of Adventures in Time and Space. Welcome aboard, Bill Potts. It's The Pilot. Notes and links Friend from the Future was a promotional short designed to introduce Bill Potts first broadcast during Match of the Day on 23 April 2016, nearly a year before this episode aired. You can see the entire short here. Peter mentions the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Skin of Evil as another TV episode containing a high-concept puddle. It's famously not very good, as Joe and Nathan discovered in this episode of Untitled Star Trek Project. You'll be relieved and probably unsurprised to learn that Nathan is wrong: John Peel doesn't claim that Genesis of the Daleks took place in 1831. However, TARDIS Wikia dates it as set in the 15th or 16th centuries, probably because in The Daleks, one of the Daleks claims that there were two races on Skaro 500 years ago. But the whole idea is absolutely enervating, don't you think? The squishy thing Todd mentions as a possible companion for the Doctor is, of course, Mr Huffle from The Return of Doctor Mysterio. The Doctor does apparently take it with him at the end of the story. And Pearl Mackie married her wife Kam Chhokar on 4 May this year. Here's a wedding photo from Tumblr. Douglas is Cancelled is Steven Moffat's most recent TV show — a four-part miniseries starring Hugh Bonneville, Karen Gillan and Alex Kingston, about a middle-aged male TV personality who is overheard making a sexist joke at a friend's wedding. Worth a look. Follow us Nathan is on Bluesky at @nathanbottomley.bsky.social and James is at @ohjamessellwood.bsky.social; Todd is on X as @toddbeilby. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow Flight Through Entirety on Mastodon and Bluesky, as well as on X and Facebook. Our website is at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we'll invent a massively high-concept backstory for you which prevents you from ever truly realising yourself as a person. And more You can find links to all of the podcasts we're involved in on our podcasts page. But here's a summary of where we're up to right now. 500 Year Diary is our latest new Doctor Who podcast, going back through the history of the show and examining new themes and ideas. It's first season came out early this year, under the title New Beginnings. Check it out. It will be back for a second season early in 2025. The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire has broadcast our hot takes on every new episode of Doctor Who since November last year, and it will be back again in 2025 for Season 2. There's also Startling Barbara Bain, our Space: 1999 commentary podcast. We've covered the first six episodes of Series 1; Episode 7 should be out some times in the next couple of weeks. The Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power has been on hiatus for a while, but arrangements for the recording of Series D are well underway, and we will definitely have some new episodes for your before the end of the year. And finally there's our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. Last week, they took a trip with Kirk, Spock and McCoy to the Planet of Space Ancient Rome in Bread and Circuses.

In this 240th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this week's episode, we discuss joy and the Democratic Party. Who is sending all the texts asking for money to support the democrats, and what are they actually trying to accomplish? Discussion of push polls and push texts, bread and circuses, ponies and balloons. Also: the party of science doesn't understand science. And: why did RFK Jr. talk to the Harris campaign? Finally: actual joy, mixed with sadness, as our children leave home. Why parenting is the most amazing job you can have, and how any population that forgets that is at risk of losing the plot, if it hasn't already.*****Our sponsors:Manukora: the most flavorful, delicious, and nutritious honey you'll ever have.

For generations, families have attended circuses.  Circuses were a collection of animals, acrobats, clowns, and other exotic oddities.  In an era before television and the internet, circuses were a major form of entertainment for many people.  Over time, however, circuses have changed and evolved into something very different in the 21st century.  Learn more about circuses, how they came about and how they changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

A Liturgy of Bread and Circuses by DMR

More and more circuses have given up on animal acts, but Shrine Circuses are still cynically taking advantage of children's natural love of animals to make a quick buck. This week, Jamie and Justina get into exactly what that means for the animals involved, and (just so you know), it's not great! Also, Jamie can juggle. Who knew?

For our end of year review we are joined by popular podcast host and returning guest Jonny HODL (Staying Free Podcast) to reflect on 2023. It has certainly been another crazy year in clown world and yet, despite this, many of us have managed to make big strides in our personal lives. Particularly when it comes to our careers and building more resilient communities. So Mike and Jonny discuss all the comings and goings, from the long line of new and ‘radical' politicians who seem to appear just at the right time when the public seem to be checking out; to the financial crisis that now looms large as we head into 2024. They also discuss the very real prospect that what we are actually seeing is the end of empire and how this might impact the world ongoing. Then in part two Jonny discusses what he thinks we might see in 2024. With both him and Mike talking about some of the very big cycles that are now in play such as the solar cycle and the coming presidential election. They also discuss what they see as the hopeful path for those who want to take it, sharing what they're doing in their own lives to ensure 2024 is a great one no matter what is taking place externally. As a conversation hopefully this one will help you to reflect on where we are and where we might be heading…but then importantly to see how you might navigate this to ensure your own success – irrespective of what events occur within the greatest show on earth, aka, clown world!

In 1914, as German forces quickly outmaneuvered Allied armies in the opening days of the war, there was some suspicion among the Allies that the circuses that had traveled around Europe in the years before the war – many of which were owned by German families or had German names – had helped prepare the German army by perfecting the art of rapid and efficient mobilization and transport. Even Americans – not yet involved in the war – suspected this to be the case and looked at circuses like the Ringling Brothers with suspicion. Was this true? Did armies prior to World War I study circus logistics? If so, how did they adapt this expertise?  To help explore this topic, the World War I hosted Matthew Fraas, Education Specialist at the U.S. Army Transportation Museum.US Army Transportation Corps Museum Home Page Follow us: Twitter: @MacArthur1880 Amanda Williams on Twitter: @AEWilliamsClark Facebook/Instagram: @MacArthurMemorial www.macarthurmemorial.org

Speaking with astrophysicists and astronomers, Pelley reports on the telescope's discoveries of distant galaxies, including one that's over 33 billion light years away, and an observation that, if confirmed, could upend the belief on how the universe formed and more. In the days of the Roman Coliseum, they called it “Bread and Circuses”—leaders using entertainment to distract citizens from genuine problems. Today, Saudi Arabia is accused of using the same tactic with a different name: "sportswashing." Is the Kingdom diversifying its economy, as they insist, or covering up human rights abuses and political repression? Jon Wertheim traveled to Saudi Arabia to find out.

My wife is demanding our kids get the mRNA boosters. She is terrified ever since her sister, a doctor, said Omicron is spreading faster than any Covid virus in history. She wants this done by MONDAY! Please help! Peco, Los Angeles, CA The article title is sarcastic. This is a brilliant article with hundreds of linked sources that prove parents are insane to inject kids.  50 Reasons to Give Your Child the COVID Shot ‘Unethical' and up to 98 Times Worse Than the Disease: Top Scientists Publish Paradigm-Shifting Study About COVID-19 Vaccines A team of nine experts from Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and other top universities has published paradigm-shifting research about the efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines and why mandating vaccines for college students is unethical. This 50-page study, which was published on The Social Science Research Network at the end of August, analyzed CDC and industry-sponsored data on vaccine adverse events, and concluded that mandates for COVID-19 boosters for young people may cause 18 to 98 actual serious adverse events for each COVID-19 infection-related hospitalization theoretically prevented. The paper is co-authored by Dr. Stefan Baral, an epidemiology professor at Johns Hopkins University; surgeon Martin Adel Makary, M.D., a professor at Johns Hopkins known for his books exposing medical malfeasance, including “Unaccountable: What Hospitals Won't Tell You and How Transparency Can Revolutionize Heath Care”; and Dr. Vinayak Prasad, a hematologist-oncologist, who is a professor in the UCSF Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, as well as the author of over 350 academic and peer-reviewed articles. Mark Todd. I really need your help with something. My 15 year old son is getting infected with woke as it relates to the word of God. He is saying the text applies only to a time 2,000 years ago and it is not useful for today. He said that the Jews didn't know that people were transgenders because they didn't have brain scans to find male brains in female bodies and since (his words) “my God” made them why would “my God” hate them? I need you, brother,  Mark in Michigan This woman was a Ph.D and child psychologist who got conned by the Satanic lie of “born in the ‘wrong body.' I supported trans ideology until I couldn't anymore James -  WAP I couldn't help but think during this show about my pastor's sermon this past weekend titled, "Bread and Circuses" with the premise that the Roman Empire kept it's people happy by giving them free bread and circuses. In other words, keep them occupied with entertainment and keep their bellies full. What the party is doing now, including Hillary, is pandering to this concept. What is more entertaining than sex, it certainly has occupied the minds of a large portion of America and sadly a large portion of the the church. This keeps us distracted from a) what the party is really doing, b) what God wants of us. I just found it fascinating after this past Sunday message. https://youtu.be/Iqg3wXsrryI Thank you for what you're doing and for keeping God in front of your audience. Lance Van Winkle Apology Tour Dear Brother, Regarding your personal note and your apology tour. I respectfully submit, The term "apology tour" demeans and minimizes the importance of the work. The purpose is to make yourself of maximize service to others and to God. The amends are to remove those obstacles that hinder our relationship with God service to others. Amends have the ability to heal both parties except when such amends would injure them or others. "Twelve Steppy"? Maybe on the surface and only until one truly studies and finds out the true intent of the 12 steps. Truly Love you brother. I wonder what the spark will be to set the entire thing on fire. Regards, Lance Amber -  LDS people  Hi Todd, Quick correction, you asked to be corrected if you were in error. I usually expect others will do the chiming in, but in case not… In reference to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and allowing black people to be members of the church, they have always accepted all people into their membership, which is what you stated incorrectly. What you meant was that from its origins up until 1978, with a few exceptions, black men were not permitted to be ordained to the holy priesthood. They could be baptized and confirmed members of the church like anyone else but not be ordained. It was still an exclusionary policy, but perhaps not as exclusionary as most people understand. Love your show, and especially was touched by your immediate act of repentance today when you were talking about stealing pizzas. You didn't make a note of it to take care of later (privately) but, instead, addressed it the moment you became aware. Great example! :) Amber Olympia WASee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
