Dolly Parton, OnlyFans millions, the internet's sketchiest glory days, trailer park memories, a $50 million phone call, the return of Greek Fire, and grown adults getting absolutely dismantled by elementary-school math. Somehow, that's all one episode of The Rizzuto Show. The show starts on a more emotional note as the crew remembers Dolly Parton and the kindness, humor, generosity, and unmistakable personality that made her such a beloved icon. Unfortunately, Rizz had recently expressed concern about Dolly's health, which means listeners immediately dust off the completely scientific and legally airtight Rizz Show Curse and start blaming him. The emails arrive. The accusations fly. Rizz maintains his innocence. Nobody believes him.Lern shares what Dolly meant to her growing up, the crew revisits some of Dolly's funniest moments, and for a brief shining moment, The Rizzuto Show experiences genuine human emotion.Then we start talking about trailer parks.Because of course we do.After a mobile-home community gets unfairly dragged into headlines surrounding the arrest of 49ers owner Jed York, the crew clears up what actually happened—and that sends everybody barreling into stories about growing up around mobile homes. We get Rafe's single-wide childhood, homemade deer-skull decor, Lern's surprise taxidermied boar head, wood-burning stoves, freezing bedrooms, tornado shelters, questionable carpet, decks built onto decks, and enough rural engineering to make HGTV quietly leave the room.From there, things get even more sophisticated with toilet paper, padded toilet seats, an aggressively powerful handheld bidet, National Dog Day, dog breeds, genetically modified animals and the looming possibility that humanity will eventually build Jurassic Park despite having several movies explaining why we absolutely should not.Then it's time to discuss the modern economy.OnlyFans has reportedly paid creators $30 billion since launch, including billions in 2025 alone. Sounds like easy money—until the crew discovers just how tiny the percentage of million-dollar creators actually is. Naturally, this inspires an extremely serious business discussion about celebrity accounts, niche content, and whether there's an untapped market for shirtless men vacuuming their houses.Please do not put that idea into a business plan.The conversation then heads back to the simpler, uglier and significantly more dangerous internet of our youth: MySpace, Napster, mp3.com, GeoCities, eBaum's World, ICQ, AOL chat rooms, Fark, The Chive and Chatroulette—the website Rafe accurately describes as Russian roulette with considerably worse odds.Moon remembers Story of the Year hitting number one on mp3.com with “Until the Day I Die” before the site disappeared, and everybody remembers when the internet felt less like an algorithm trying to sell you something and more like a bunch of weird digital neighborhoods where nobody's parents had any idea what their children were doing.Which, in retrospect, was maybe not ideal.The nostalgia continues into physical media, old video games, vintage magazines, classic barbershops, and the slow realization that future antique stores might be pretty boring when everything we own is technically a license stored on a server somewhere.There's also entertainment gossip, Rizz admitting he's spent years pretending he's seen Donnie Darko, and then Moon drops the big announcement: Greek Fire is returning to the stage for its first headline show in seven years, with new music and a show at Delmar Hall.And because this daily comedy show still hasn't caused enough intellectual damage, we finish with the Rizz Quiz.First, the crew tackles a $50 million hypothetical: if someone offered you $50 million tax-free to call somebody right now, and you only get the money if they don't answer, who are you calling?The answer around the studio is basically King Scott.Congratulations, Scott. Your inability to answer a phone is finally an asset.Then callers take on 45 seconds of supposedly easy trivia. Colors. Animals. Geography. Third-to-fifth-grade math. The sort of questions every adult thinks they could answer until a timer starts ticking and suddenly 60 divided by 6 is zero, 8 times 4 is 36, 18 plus 22 is 50, and a dollar apparently contains 50 nickels.The Rizz Quiz remains undefeated.So this episode has everything: a heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton, the Rizz Show Curse, trailer park vindication, taxidermy, dangerous bathroom equipment, OnlyFans economics, internet nostalgia, Chatroulette trauma, disappearing physical media, Greek Fire's return, a hypothetical $50 million payday, and basic arithmetic publicly humiliating grown adults.In other words, another completely normal episode of The Rizzuto Show.Come for the funny celebrity gossip and weird news. Stay for the St. Louis chaos, nostalgic stories, Rizz and the gang roasting each other, and the comforting knowledge that no matter how bad your day is going, at least you probably know that 60 divided by 6 is 10.Probably.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.

In this episode of Chats & Tatts, host Aaron Della Vedova sits down with world-renowned tattoo artist Julian Siebert from Munich, Germany. Known globally for his incredible large-scale bodysuits, Julian shares his 21-year journey in tattooing, having completed over 200 backpieces and 100 frontpieces.   Together, they dive deep into the mindset of high-level tattooing, the controversy surrounding numbing cream, technical setups for maximum efficiency, the real impact of AI and social media on tattoo culture, and why Julian decided his current apprentice will be his last.  

Welcome back to Cannabis School! Today, Brandon and Jesse review Cheee of Bandits by Pure Plan, a mysterious Utah cannabis strain with an unusual name and an experience that is even harder to explain.Despite what the name suggests, this flower does not arrive with an overwhelming cheese aroma. Instead, it produces a surprisingly sweet smell that becomes even more impressive as the vaporizer begins warming. The first taste reminds the guys of stevia: undeniably sweet, slightly strange, and difficult to place.The flower reviewed contains roughly 20% THC, along with minor cannabinoids including CBC and CBG. Its labeled terpene profile includes beta-caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, myrcene, and humulene. Together, they create a sweet, peppery flavor that eventually develops a gentle “sweet heat” across the tongue and throat.The initial experience is bright, floaty, giggly, and physically relaxing. Colors seem more vibrant, the arms feel lighter, and Brandon notices that his sore shoulder is no longer demanding as much attention.As the session continues, however, Cheee of Bandits becomes more complicated. The bright beginning transitions into a strongly head-focused experience, with warmth and pressure around the top of the head. Brandon and Jesse also notice tension around the neck and jaw. It remains entertaining and silly, but neither host can identify a clear activity or purpose for it.Would it be good for watching a ridiculous movie and making your own commentary? Absolutely.Would we choose it for work, exercise, or focused creativity? Probably not.The guys experiment by adding GMO Cookies, hoping its relaxed euphoria will balance the experience. Unfortunately, the combination creates more jaw tension and proves that even two enjoyable strains can make a questionable team.The final verdict? Cheee of Bandits is not necessarily bad—it is just weird. Its aroma is incredible, the sweet-and-spicy flavor is memorable, and the opening effects are genuinely fun. The later head pressure makes it harder to recommend as an everyday strain, but curious sativa fans may enjoy trying something that does not feel like everything else on the shelf.Buying it on sale makes sense. Mixing it with GMO did not.In this episode:• Reviewing Cheee of Bandits by Pure Plan• A mysterious Utah cannabis strain• Approximately 20% THC with CBC and CBG• Caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, myrcene, and humulene• A sweet aroma that resembles stevia• Peppery flavor and gentle sweet heat• Bright, floaty, and giggly opening effects• Head pressure, neck sensations, and jaw tension• Using low heat to explore cannabis aroma• Why it may work for movies and social laughter• Mixing Cheee of Bandits with GMO Cookies• Why some cannabis combinations do not work• The need for better strain information in Utah• Pure Plan, Dragonfly, Betty, and Brand ZeroFind everything in one place here:

In this special bonus mini-episode from Colors of the Dark and Fangoria, we step into the shadows of the Medieval Times, where superstition, plague, and religious paranoia create the perfect breeding ground for horror. Welcome to a special 2-part bonus series where we explore the literature, films, tv shows, and other games that inspired the world of the brand new video game, The Blood of Dawnwalker, releasing September 3, 2026.

On today's show we discuss Ara's new family room TV and Audio setup and what his plans are for the future. We also read your emails and look at the week's news. News: Marantz Introduces The CINEMA Series 2 Receivers Dolby Vision 2 HDR Is Officially Arriving On Certain Hisense TVs Nearly A Third Of U.S. Homes Get TV Only Via Streaming Peacock hikes prices for fourth straight year, this time by $3 Other: Theatrium - A home Assistant or HomeKit Dashboard for your AppleTV Parts List for Ara's New Home Family Room: Mantel Mount MM815 Motorized Drop Down & Swivel TV Mount - $700 The MM815 is a remote-controlled drop-and-swivel TV mount. Press one button to lower the TV to eye level and rotate it as needed. It comes with an RF remote, is silent, and has two memory presets. Sony BRAVIA 7 II PRO True RGB 4K HDR Google TV with Gemini (Model Number K75XR70PRO)-  $2300 The Sony BRAVIA 7 II PRO is Sony's 2026 mid-range True RGB Mini-LED TV (65 inches and up) with independently driven red, green, and blue backlight LEDs, XR processing, and about 2,000 nits of peak brightness for stronger color volume and contrast than a typical white Mini-LED. It is 4K at 120 Hz, supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and has HDMI 2.1 gaming features (VRR, ALLM, 4K/120). Google TV includes Gemini for voice search and recommendations, plus AirPlay 2. The Pro bundle adds a three-year replacement warranty, a backlit rechargeable remote, extra Sony Pictures Core credits, and an enhanced Voice Zoom 3 dialogue mode; picture hardware is the same as the standard 7 II. From RTINGS: Pros: Great black levels with minimal haloing. Bright details in HDR stand out incredibly well. Fantastic SDR brightness helps it overcome glare during the day. Fantastic upscaling and great low-quality content smoothing. Colors are incredibly bright and vivid. Cons: Dark scenes are hard to see during the day. Sonos Arc Ultra - $1099 The Sonos Arc Ultra supports Dolby Atmos that has a 9.1.4 driver layout and Sound Motion woofer to produce wide, height-enhanced surround and stronger bass from a single bar. It connects to a TV with one HDMI eARC cable, supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and the rest of the Sonos ecosystem (including optional Sub and rear speakers), and can be controlled with the TV remote, Sonos app, touch controls, Sonos Voice Control, or Alexa. Trueplay tunes the sound to the room, and AI speech enhancement is meant to keep dialogue clear. It is a long, low-profile bar (about 46 inches wide) sold in black or white. Sonos Sub 4 - $899 The Sonos Sub 4 is a wireless subwoofer for Sonos S2 systems, pairing with current soundbars and speakers to add bass down to about 25 Hz. Two inward-facing 5-by-8-inch woofers and dual Class-D amps use a force-canceling layout so the cabinet stays relatively still and the bass stays clean. It has the same slot-style shape as earlier Subs, in black or white matte, and can stand upright or lie on its side. Updates over the Sub 3 include Wi-Fi 6, a faster processor, more memory, lower idle power, and a slightly lighter cabinet; setup is through the Sonos app, with optional Ethernet. Two Sub 4s can be used with the Arc Ultra. Master Bedroom: Sony BRAVIA 3 II 4K HDR LED Google TV (Model Number K55XR30M2) - $798 - The Sony BRAVIA 3 II is Sony's 2026 entry-level 4K LED set, sold from 43 to 100 inches. It uses a direct-lit LED panel, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the XR processor for color, motion, and upscaling. HDR covers Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG. All four HDMI ports are 2.1, with 4K/120, VRR, and ALLM. It runs Google TV with Gemini, AirPlay 2, and Chromecast, plus built-in speakers that pass Dolby Atmos and DTS:X to a soundbar. The picture is good in bright rooms; but as you would expect, the contrast and HDR are limited compared with higher BRAVIA models. If you are going to use this for anything more than casual viewing or you are really critical of picture quality you may want to look elsewhere. But for those on a budget or used in a secondary room, it's a solid TV.

Clinton artists Gabi Torres and Chris Shannon have helped put the city of Clinton on the map with their annual Paint it Back event. Starting as an effort to activate a vacant building with artists' murals near the Mississippi River in 2023 has gotten bigger each year, with an art market, live music, kids activities and more. For its fourth year, they're moving west to downtown with a mission to make this its biggest year ever. We talk with co-founder Gabi Torres, Paint it Back Board President Matt Parbs on the impact its had on the Clinton community, and Colorado-based artist James Foster, aka East, who has taken part in the event since its second year. Then, a new art installation on the pond at Wilson's Orchard in Cumming appears as a quilt, and absorbs excess nitrates from the water. We talk with its creators, Drake University professors Emily Newman and Edward Kelley. They co-founded the Parts Per Million Collective, an art collaboration that addresses climate change through art.

Original Air Date: August 16, 2025 Re-Air Date: August 15, 2026 Episode Number: 471Episode SummaryFour topics this week. Dan opens with a segment on AI, the trades, and why professional painters are on the safe list of jobs that technology won't replace. Then a deck safety segment covering what actually causes collapses and a quick inspection checklist you can run through today. After that, a breakdown of efflorescence -- the white powdery stuff on basement walls that looks like mold but isn't -- including what causes it, why painting over it doesn't work, and how to actually fix it. The episode closes out a multi-week series on room exposures with a full guide to choosing paint colors for west-facing rooms, including eight to nine specific Benjamin Moore recommendations.Timestamps[00:00] -- Welcome and Preview[00:50] -- AI and the Trades[03:07] -- Why Painting Matters[07:11] -- Deck Safety Basics[10:03] -- Deck Failure Causes[14:08] -- Quick Deck Inspection[18:41] -- Basement White Powder[19:33] -- Efflorescence Explained[21:19] -- Fix Moisture and Repaint[24:47] -- West-Facing Color Guide[34:05] -- Best Colors and Samples[38:06] -- Wrap UpAI and the Trades [00:50]Dan opens with a Microsoft study ranking the top 40 jobs most at risk from AI and the top 40 considered safest. The at-risk list included customer service reps, writers, paralegals, web developers, and some programming roles. The safe list: caregivers, cleaners, roofers, pipe fitters, plumbers, plasterers -- and right in the middle of the mix, professional painters.The common thread across all the safe jobs is that they require hands-on work, real skill, human judgment, and a physical presence on site. No matter how capable the technology gets, it can't paint a house.Dan talks about his son Andrew, now in his second summer on a painting crew. He came in with no experience. Within a few weeks he was confidently working off extension ladders. By the end of that first summer he could handle almost anything thrown at him. What struck Dan wasn't just the skill -- it was something Andrew said about how satisfying it is to finish a job and stand back and see the actual before and after. A faded house that looks good again. That's different from the kind of satisfaction Dan gets at work, where some days it feels like moving digital ideas from one folder to another.The broader point: trades are going to keep requiring real people. Dan thinks the human touch is only going to become more valuable as more of the world goes digital. AI might help a plumber or electrician diagnose a complex issue, but somebody still has to show up and do the work.What Causes Deck Collapses [10:03]Deck collapses are genuinely rare -- the US Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates around 6,000 injuries per year tied to deck, porch, stair, and balcony failures. But because decks are elevated, when something does give way, injuries are almost guaranteed.One of the most well-known incidents was a 2003 Chicago collapse where a third-story wooden deck gave way under a group of people. The weight brought two lower decks down with it. Thirteen people died and 57 were injured.The most common failure point is the ledger board -- the board that connects the deck directly to the house. If flashing wasn't installed correctly or has failed over time, water gets behind the ledger and starts rotting the rim joist it's fastened to. Once the rim joist softens, the bolts anchoring the ledger can pull free. The ledger can look completely solid from the outside while the wood it's bolted into is already compromised.In older decks -- especially those built before building codes were updated in the early 2000s following the Chicago collapse -- the ledger board may have been fastened with plain nails rather than bolts or lag screws. Over time those nails can loosen or rust, leaving a deck looking solid while hiding a serious structural weakness.Other common failure points:Railings that aren't fastened into proper framing -- these tend to fail when someone leans their full weight against themPosts that are buried directly in soil rather than resting on concrete footings, where they can rot from below without showing any visible signMetal connectors -- joist hangers, bolts, screws -- that are rusted, missing, or weren't installed correctlyA deck that looks perfectly fine on the surface can be hiding significant problems underneath all of these.Quick Deck Inspection Checklist [14:08]This takes 10 to 15 minutes and is worth doing today if you haven't done it recently. Ideally it's an annual spring task, but any time works.Walk the deck surface. Pay attention to how it feels underfoot. Do boards bounce or feel springy? Are any warped, uneven, or soft?Test the railing. Give it a firm push -- don't lean your full weight on it as the test, but put enough pressure to check whether it's solid. Wobbling or creaking means it needs attention.Check the ledger board. If you can get safely underneath the deck, look where it connects to the house. Is the flashing intact? Are there signs of rot, water damage, or staining on the house wall or the ledger itself? And look at how it's attached -- if you see only nails and no bolts or lag screws, that connection should be reinforced.Probe suspicious wood. A screwdriver or small awl pressed into any wood that looks questionable -- joists, posts, the ledger -- will tell you a lot. If the tip sinks in a quarter inch or more with light pressure, that indicates rot and warrants further investigation.Check the posts. Make sure they're sitting on concrete footings, not buried directly in soil. Look for cracking, shifting, or movement at the base.Inspect the hardware. Look for rusted or missing screws, nails, or joist hangers. Anything corroded should be tightened or replaced with corrosion-resistant hardware.If the deck is over 15 to 20 years old, or was built before the 2003 code updates, or if anything in the inspection looks questionable, bring in a licensed contractor for a closer look. And if the deck just needs a refresh -- cleaning and a coat of wood protector -- stop into any RepcoLite and they'll walk you through the right products.Efflorescence: The White Powder on Your Basement Walls [19:33]If you've noticed white chalky streaks or fuzzy white buildup on your basement's concrete block or poured concrete walls, it probably startled you a bit. It looks like something is growing. It's not mold. It's efflorescence, and it's actually pretty common.What it is. Efflorescence is salt deposits forming on masonry surfaces. Water moves through the wall, picks up mineral salts from the concrete or block as it travels, and when it reaches the surface and evaporates, it leaves those salts behind. Sometimes it's a light dusting. Other times it's streaks or crusty fuzzy buildup that looks pretty alarming.What causes it. Moisture. If you have efflorescence, there is a moisture issue somewhere. It could be coming from outside -- poor drainage, clogged gutters, improper grading around the foundation. It could be coming from inside -- vapor movement through the space. Wherever it's coming from, the moisture has to be addressed or the efflorescence will keep coming back.Dan's own situation: his house had no gutters, so rainwater poured straight off the roof at the foundation. Once he installed gutters, the moisture problem went away and the efflorescence stopped.How to clean it. A stiff brush and plain water handles mild cases. For stubborn buildup, a diluted solution of white vinegar or a masonry cleaner specifically formulated for efflorescence will get it off. Follow the label directions and wear protective gear -- some of these cleaners are acidic.The critical mistake to avoid. Cleaning is only treating the symptom. If you paint over active efflorescence without fixing the moisture source, the moisture and salt will continue working toward the surface and will bring the paint with them. Blistering, peeling, paint failure. Dan learned this firsthand -- he painted over it the first time thinking it might solve things. It did not. He had to deal with peeling paint on top of the original problem.The right sequence. Fix the moisture source first. Then clean the efflorescence completely. Then let everything dry thoroughly. Then repaint.For bare, never-painted concrete or block walls: WaterBlock from Insl-X is worth knowing about. It's a water-blocking product that, when applied to unpainted masonry under the right conditions, can prevent a certain level of moisture from working through the wall. Stop into RepcoLite and ask about it -- there are specific application conditions that have to be met for it to work correctly.Choosing Paint Colors for West-Facing Rooms [24:47]This is the final installment of a series on how room orientation affects paint color. Previous episodes covered north-facing, south-facing, and east-facing rooms.The challenge with west-facing rooms. They're cool, shaded, and a little flat in the morning -- the sun is rising on the opposite side of the house. By mid-afternoon and into early evening, dramatic warm golden light pours in, carrying strong amber and orange undertones. That subtle beige you loved at noon might look...

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Dr. Sarah Hill to explore the far-reaching effects of hormonal birth control, not just on the body, but on the brain, relationships, and a woman's lived experience of the world. Dr. Hill shares how her research was sparked by a deeply personal moment: after discontinuing hormonal birth control in her early thirties, she was struck by a profound shift in how she experienced life. Colors felt brighter, music more moving, and everyday moments more meaningful. This transformation led her to question what might be lost when the natural hormonal rhythm is suppressed. Together, we unpack the idea that hormonal birth control creates a kind of “black and white” internal landscape, flattening the natural peaks and valleys of the menstrual cycle. While this can offer predictability and convenience, it may also dampen the richness and intensity that hormones naturally bring to a woman's emotional and sensory world. This conversation places that trade-off within a broader cultural context, where modern life often prioritizes ease and instant gratification, sometimes at the cost of depth and meaning. A major focus of the episode is the adolescent brain. Dr. Hill highlights how little we truly understand about the impact of hormonal birth control during the critical window of development between ages 12 and 19. This is a time when the brain is undergoing significant remodeling, guided in part by natural hormonal signals. Emerging research raises important questions about how altering those signals might influence long-term mental health and development. While animal studies suggest measurable changes to brain structure, human data points to a potential association between adolescent use and increased risk of depression later in life. Still, many questions remain unanswered, making this an area in urgent need of further study. We also explore the fascinating connection between hormones and attraction. Natural hormonal shifts across the menstrual cycle subtly shape preferences, especially around ovulation, when estrogen peaks. During this time, women may be more drawn to cues associated with genetic compatibility. Hormonal birth control suppresses these fluctuations, potentially influencing patterns of attraction in ways that are often invisible but meaningful. For some women, this can translate into changes in relationship dynamics over time, though experiences vary widely. At the heart of this conversation is a call to awareness. Rather than framing hormonal birth control as simply good or bad, Dr. Hill encourages women to understand it as a powerful intervention with real trade-offs. Hormones are not arbitrary they are part of an intricate system that shapes how women think, feel, and connect. Interested in being a Podcast Sponsor with THE HORMONE GENIUS?

The Rao family in Maryland knew that something was different about their younger daughter, Ayoni, almost as soon as she was born. But it took them until she was five to get a diagnosis of Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes extreme, insatiable hunger. Food needs to be locked away from many of these patients, or they might eat until their stomachs actually rupture. Dan visits the Raos at their home to learn more about how they manage Ayoni's condition, then cooks and eats dinner with the family. Dan also talks with Zayd Anwarzai, a 25-year-old with PWS, about what it's like when he knows he's eaten enough, but his stomach tells him otherwise. And Dan speaks with Dr. Jennifer Miller, the leading PWS expert in the country. Check out Colors of Hope, the organization that Dini Rao founded to help families of color who are living with PWS.

Photo: Lifer inmates at Salem's Oregon State Correctional Institution connect with culture, family, and healing during the annual Many Nations Pow Wow. (Brian Bull) The power of a Pow Wow has been described as a collective heartbeat that draws people together. Celebrants often say they feel unity and freedom as they dance in a circle. Those elements are especially vital for those serving time at the Oregon State Correctional Institution in Salem, Oreg., but as Brian Bull of Underscore Native News and KLCC reports, for one day each year, inmates get to move to the rhythm of a rawhide drum with friends and loved ones. A soft breeze rustles the frills on Anthony Salazar (Apache)'s regalia. He describes its colors, as his wife, Stephanie, helps with final adjustments. “Colors are white, black, red, and yellow, which is the colors of the four directions. The green represents Mother Earth. All the regalia is connected to nature somehow.” Drummers gather in a circle, while other dancers fix their bangles and beadwork. A man with a microphone greets the crowd of visitors with a smile. “We're so glad you guys were able to make it. We are about to prepare to do our Grand Entry.” At first, you'd think this was just any other Pow Wow getting underway. However … “I’m in here for two counts of murder, and I got a life sentence. I’ve been in 24 years.” Salazar, like everyone else preparing to dance or drum, is a “lifer” at this medium-security, all-men's prison. “This is actually the first “Pow Wow where I've actually dressed up in regalia, and I'm going to dance.” He is thrilled to be part of the Pow Wow – and that his wife Stephanie is here. “This is my first one that I've been able to come to, very fortunate to be here. Means a lot.” As dancers gather for the grand entry, a red-tailed hawk soars above. It is a simple, but powerful symbol of freedom in a place where guard towers and checkpoints remind everyone this is a prison. Emcee Shawn Jeffers-Monro says it is great having his wife and other loved ones here once a year. “My mother was dying of cancer three years ago, and I was able to have this ceremony with her and these last rites, and be able to say goodbye to her. So this is that one time of year that we get to be together as a community, as a family, and kinda be free in a way.” One of the guests for this Pow Wow is Aliza Kaplan, a professor at Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland. She says she and some of her students have been invited to this event about five times. “Because we aim to really get to know our clients and what matters to them, and see them as more than people who have committed crimes.” No one here glosses over the fact that they are behind bars for serious crimes, and may not ever step foot beyond the prison gates, but many see the Pow Wow as a way to hold on to tradition and find worth, says inmate Nestor Diaz-Miller (Cow Creek Band of Umpqua). “I've dealt with suicidal thoughts and actions in my past, and being able to focus on this inipi, this sweat lodge and that drum, literally saved my life. It's given me something to believe in, something to hope in. It's such a special feeling, I can't describe it other than special.” The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs is advancing several bills aimed at settling tribal water rights and funding water infrastructure across the West. During a legislative hearing last week, senators considered measures affecting the Yavapai-Apache Nation in Arizona and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians in California, along with legislation to strengthen the federal Indian Water Rights Settlement Completion Fund. Supporters say the bills would help fulfill the federal government’s trust responsibilities while providing greater certainty for Tribal Nations and neighboring communities. The measures now await further action by the committee and Congress. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

What happens when the life you envisioned for yourself doesn't happen according to plan?On this live episode of Groove with Portia, I sit down with Dr. Marline C. Duroseau, affectionately known as “Dr. Mar,” for a deeply personal conversation about infertility, pregnancy loss, grief, motherhood, and the hidden struggles women can carry behind professional success.Dr. Mar opens up about navigating infertility while building her career, losing her daughter Angel, and grieving more than a pregnancy—the expectations, timelines, and version of life she once imagined.We'll also explore her research on the lived infertility experiences of women in leadership roles and what workplaces need to better understand about women navigating fertility challenges while maintaining demanding careers.Her journey ultimately became part of the inspiration behind her memoir, It'll Happen By 30: A Relentless Journey of Faith | Delayed But Not Denied. We'll talk about what happens when 30 comes and goes, life takes a different direction, and you have to redefine what success, motherhood, and fulfillment look like for yourself.This conversation is about infertility, but it's also about something many of us understand: grieving the timeline we thought our lives would follow and learning how to embrace the life unfolding in front of us.Connect with Portia: https://linktr.ee/portiabkrConnect with Dr. Mar: https://mcdbe.com/Join us for The Colors of Our Grief at Kent State: https://www.kent.edu/cci/colors-our-griefInterested in being a future guest on Groove with Portia?Send your story or interview pitch to: portiatheproducer@gmail.com

Leaving an abusive relationship is often described as the end of the story. For many survivors, it's only the beginning of another journey—healing from what happened, rebuilding an identity, supporting children who experienced the trauma, and grieving the life they once imagined.On this episode of Groove with Portia, I sit down with domestic violence survivor and author Yolanda Cope for an honest conversation about what it really takes to break free from abuse.Yolanda shares her experience of leaving her abuser, the impact domestic violence had on her children, and the misconceptions that continue to surround women who stay in abusive relationships. We also explore a side of leaving that isn't always discussed: grieving the relationship, family, future, and version of yourself you once believed you would have.Yolanda also shares how she began separating her identity from what happened to her and how her journey is now inspiring her upcoming book.This conversation isn't just about leaving. It's about what happens when survival is no longer the destination and you begin discovering who you are on the other side.Connect with Portia:

We get into how paint colors set the mood and can make or break a home sale. Then Sam needs a ruling on whether his Office Depot scissors joke was funny or flat. Plus Jodi confesses how fast Murphy's "too-responsive" car got her going on a road trip - AND we celebrate Murphy's birthday away from home. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the pain you've been carrying isn't who you are, it's simply what happened to you? In this powerful episode of Beauty of Colors, we sit down with Eric Fisher, a Canadian Certified Counsellor with more than 13 years of experience helping individuals heal from trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Eric takes a holistic approach to recovery, combining evidence-based therapies with deep compassion to help people rediscover hope, purpose, and connection. His work includes Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and personality development through the MBTI. Together, we explore questions so many people quietly wrestle with: Why do painful memories continue to control our lives? Can healing happen without reliving every traumatic moment? How does addiction begin, and what truly helps people recover? Why is self-compassion one of the hardest but most important steps in healing? What does it really mean to start over after trauma? Whether you're navigating your own healing journey, supporting someone you love, or simply want to understand the human mind on a deeper level, this conversation offers hope, practical insight, and a reminder that recovery isn't about becoming someone new, t's about reconnecting with who you were before the pain.

Madd Hatta sits down with Goapele to celebrate 25 years of her timeless anthem, “Closer,” and the independent journey that made her a Bay Area R&B icon. She opens up about building her career on her own terms, her latest album Colors, finding balance after years of grinding, and the advice she would give young artists about patience, teamwork, rest, and staying true to their vision.

We go pond jumping this week and head to the Isle of Wight for one of the strangest paranormal encounters ever reported: All Colours Sam, better known as the Sandown Clown.In 1973, two children claimed they met a nearly seven-foot-tall, three-fingered, three-toed, ghost-like humanoid living in a metal hut near Sandown Airport. Normal British stuff, we are pretty sure. Sam wore a pointed yellow hat, spoke through a strange device, said he was “a ghost in an odd sort of way,” and somehow managed to make eating berries look like advanced alien surgery.So what was All Colours Sam? An extraterrestrial? A robot? A folkloric entity? A man in a costume? Or one of the most bizarre childhood stories ever to escape into UFO and cryptid lore?We break down the full encounter, the witnesses, the weirdest details, what believers think happened, what skeptics say, and why the Sandown Clown mystery is still confusing paranormal researchers more than 50 years later this week on Hysteria 51.SourcesBUFORA Journal, Vol. 6, No. 5, Jan/Feb 1978 – “Ghost or Spaceman '73?”Internet ArchiveThink Anomalous – The Sandown “Ghost Clown,” 1973Think AnomalousOnTheWight – All Colours Sam, aka Sam the Sandown ClownOnTheWightOnTheWight – The Sandown Clown: Exploring Sam, the Isle of Wight's Surreal 1973 EncounterOnTheWightBBC Radio 4 / Uncanny – Cold Cases: Case 5: The Sandown ClownApple PodcastsOnTheWight – BBC Sounds and Cease to Exist Podcasts Turn Their Attention to All Colours SamOnTheWightSpooky Isles – The Sandown Clown: Fact or Fiction?Spooky IslesWeird Darkness – The Sandown Clown: All Colours Sam and the Isle of WightWeird DarknessIsland Echo – The Sandown Clown Returns to the Isle of WightIsland EchoBedtime Stories – The Sandown ClownThe Sandown ClownShrouded Hand – The Sandown Clown Incident: A Creepy Encounter With an Unknown EntityThe Sandown Clown IncidentEmail your Contest Entries to:ForthHandmedia@gmail.comEmail us your favorite WEIRD news stories:weird@hysteria51.comSupport the ShowGet exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1ShopBe the Best Dressed at your Cult Meeting!https://www.teepublic.com/stores/hysteria51?ref_id=9022See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

They discuss du Toit's background in South Africa and the Netherlands, her recordings with the Cape Town Philharmonic, and the musical and cultural influences behind the works on the CD.

We start with a very cool story about Jack White, "Seven Nation Army," and how seven little notes turned into one of the biggest chants in global sports. Then we get into something a lot closer to home: A cyclospora outbreak that has Taco Bell locations pulling lettuce and cilantro off the menu, and what that says about cuts to CDC surveillance and how we think about food safety in Michigan. From there, Norris and I dig into Lansing's proposed "quiet cars" bill aimed at loud exhausts up and down Woodward, why noise is part of living near big thoroughfares, and how enforcement can too easily slide into pretextual stops for Black drivers and folks just trying to get to work with a busted muffler.

We revisit the most shared New York Times article by a woman who trains animals (and husbands). We discuss Sarah's new dog and her efforts to teach a new dog old tricks. Susie gives an update on her trivia night debacle where she was ROBBED (but it's FINE). We hear why Sarah is obsessed with Love Island. We learn why less than 50% off cultures mouth kiss romantically, but we're not buying it. We discuss the artist who got exclusive rights to the "blackest black" paint and how an artist who made the "pinkest pink" got revenge. And we find out about a woman who saved a crow and got many gifts in return.00:00 - Kicking Off Episode 1026: Sarah's Favorite Yet01:25 - Applying Operant Conditioning to Husbands and Animals03:11 - Positive Reinforcement and the Challenges of Dog Ownership13:24 - Sarah's Extensive and Seasonal Overalls Collection16:30 - Susie's Trivia Victory and Calling Out Cheaters25:40 - Diving Deep into the Wild World of Love Island37:36 - Debunking the '54% Don't Kiss Romantically' Claim47:20 - HBO Documentary on a Cult of Beautiful Models52:35 - The Petty Art Battle Over Exclusive Paint Colors56:49 - A Woman's Kindness to a Crow Rewarded with Gifts01:04:49 - Final Thoughts and Podcast PlugsBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYTDM-RESERVATION: 1.
