POP OFF ten hours of uninterrupted bubbles and assorted popping. Chill vinyl pops, soda pops, popcorn, bubbles, and a dash of drift. Whether you're studying, working, reading, sleeping, or unwinding after a long day, this immersive ambient soundscape provides the perfect background soundtrack. No talking, no interruptions—just pure poppin' vibes. Ignore the World. _______As I was working on the title for this week's episode, I kept thinking of a comedic moment from media that I couldn't place... maybe cartoons? Where a doofus character keeps obnoxiously shouting “POP OFF!” Oh, where are my manners? Welcome back to the section no one pays attention to. The uncommon ambience episode description! I am Mr. Ambience.What? Do you want me to write up some immersive episode description? I have assembled a collection of popping sounds for ten hours—I don't think anyone wants to read an old doofus' poetic affectation. "You are in a null space and in front of you is a soda bottle, if you drink it you will float..."I would rather be inane in here. When I turned 23, I decided my ultimate mission on earth was to achieve the pinnacle of dumb. Not stupid, I like dumb. Dumb is low stakes—simultaneously funny and unfunny. The Tao of Dumb—thats what I wanted and still strive for. And that's not to say I like that 23-year-old me. I've seen postings on LinkedIn, “I wish I had a Time Machine to go back and tell my younger self, you're ok…” Like that might work for virtuous people—if I had access to my younger self, I would slap the **** out of me. It'd be Looper without murder or hovering motorcycles.“POP OFF!” What cartoon or movie was that from? And then it came to me—like seeing someone pushing an expensive stroller, and you peek in for the cuteness and there's a ****** dog. Or a plastic baby.I'm thinking of Pat Conroy's The Lords of Discipline. “POP OFF” was what the cadre shouted at freshmen when they wanted freshmen to speak... while hazing them at the Carolina Military Institute.If you want to read a visceral horror novel masked as a not particularly compelling mystery (Conroy tells us about the guy who would have evidence on “the ten” early in the book and only a betrayal would force the main character to seek it, mystery solved)—read The Lords of Discipline. And I don't want to undersell the mystery aspect of the book, because it isn't the star. The institution is the star (and i suspect a trauma dump from the author).If Anton Chigurh was an institution of higher learning...The Carolina Military Institute lashes out at those who question it. In the story, the protagonist recalls approaching his dorm during his freshman year, where his orientation leaders are waiting for him at a table. He's a new student and has some questions about what to do after checking in—and is punched for asking.It's a horror novel. Imagine enrolling in a 1970s-era South Carolina military college (that's just getting around to integration) and the ruthless hazing that awaits. This is old school military school terror.Conroy is a favorite author of mine. He gives such a lush rendering to his scenes. The spaces he describes are immersive, making it all the more jarring when transitioning from the opulence and architectural beauty of South of Broad to the engulfing ick of hazing in a scalding-hot shower room.We're heading into spooky season, so if you want to be traumatized this fall, pick up The Lords of Discipline. (A better title would have been, Don't Tell Mom the Institute Murdered Me).PS: If you're looking for a tenuous 90's hiphop connection to this week's episode (that's fun and won't traumatize you) check out Bubblin' by CRU.

The Journey 194. Planes, Drugs, and the JFK Assasination with Tosh Plumlee and Bill ConroyTrineDay socialsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/trinedaypress Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trinedaypress X: https://x.com/TrineDay YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TrineDay The Journey 194. Planes, Drugs and the JFK Assasination with Tosh Plumlee and Bill Conroy. In this episode, Kris Millegan and Todd Baumann speak with Robert Tosh Plumlee and Bill Conroy, about their books, Deep Cover, Shallow Graves (Tosh Plumlee) and The Great Pretense (Bill Conroy) and the information surrounding Planes, Drugs, and the JFK Assassination. Bill Conroy's 40-year journalism career has focused heavily on investigative reporting — as an editor-in-chief, managing editor and reporter. His work has been published online and in print for a range of publications, including daily newspapers; alternative and business weeklies; magazines; and national online publications, such as the Daily Beast, Narco News and Housing Wire. He also have appeared in investigative documentaries aired by major networks, including the BBC, CNBC, the History Channel, Prime Video and Al Jazeera-Europe. Robert "Tosh" Plumlee, a former contract operative for the CIA, and Ralph Pezzullo, a New York Times bestselling author, guide us on an incredible journey through a no-man's land of political intrigue and covert CIA and Pentagon military operations sanctioned by the White House. Plumlee was born in 1937. At 14, he joined the Texas 49th Armored Division at Dallas's Love Field Airport, despite being underage. Later, in 1954, he transferred to the regular army and was attached to the 4th Army at Fort Bliss, Texas. Eventually, he was reassigned to the 4th Army Reserve a specialized Military Intelligence Unit at Dallas Love Field. He obtained his pilot's license in 1956 and soon after began working as a pilot for clandestine CIA aviation companies, which were CIA front companies transporting arms to Cuba before Castro took power. 1956-63. Miami Florida From approximately 1962 to 1963, he was assigned to a specialized Task Force, TF-W Section—C-7 tab B and D, known as the Cuban Project, which operated from the JM/WAVE station in Miami, Florida's Cuba Desk of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The Cuban Project. Some years later, after a brief retirement from military life (1963 to 1974), in 1983, he was reactivated. He became an undercover operative and contract pilot for the federal government during President Reagan's Drug War. He was assigned to a secret team known as the 'America-Mexico Special Operations Group' (“AMSOG”), headquartered at the Panama Southern Command as a pilot, where he became associated with the Contra Resupply Network. Mr. Plumlee has testified in closed-door sessions to various Senate and Congressional Subcommittees. In 1964, shortly after President Kennedy's assassination, he gave testimony to the Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover; in 1975-76, he also testified in a closed-door session to Senator Church, classified Top Secret; and he gave testimony in 1978 to Congressmen Tom Downing's investigators before the HSCA was formed. In 1990-91, he gave sworn testimony to Senator John Kerry's Committee and twice to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and the Senate Intelligence Committee, August 2, 1991, and May 7-15, 1992. His testimony to these committees was also classified Top Secret Committee Sensitive. Mr. Plumlee worked undercover operations for the Arizona Tri-State Task Force and later testified to the Drug Task Force committee in New Mexico, chaired by Arizona Governor Bruce Babbitt.

Marcus undertakes an emergency mercy flight to Washington DC to comfort and counsel Department of War deputy Elbridge Colby, stunned by the stab in the back from America's Aussie ally on American access to a sub base in Western Australia. After telling Americans and the world that US subs use of the base had always been time limited and would end in 2032, Mr Conroy undertook an intense self-criticism session. Demonstrating his flexibility, he then directly contradicted himself on instruction from his Party senior, Deputy Prime Minister Marles. But the damage was done. It turns out America is just the most recent nation to experience the dangers of trusting Australian officials on anything to do with submarines.Beyond the support session for Mr Colby, the Grumpies find time to assess the Australian Defence organisation's latest achievements in transparency, contrasting these with the fresh approach of the local Canberra Integrity Commission that names everyone involved in a corrupt multi-million dollar construction program - because that is in the public interest. Meanwhile, the Federal government is fighting to not release unclassified information about nuclear waste plans, and Defence is suppressing the name of a senior officer facing allegations of financial and other misconduct.The episode ends with an assessment of prime minister Albanese's attempt at national leadership on AI, which is mystifying in its failure to engage with almost all the key issues.

What becomes possible when we begin to see postpartum care not as a luxury, but as an essential part of community health?In this thoughtful roundtable conversation, Christine is joined by Conscious Postpartum Caregivers Ayana Muhammad and Brooke Conroy to explore how ancient postpartum wisdom can work alongside modern social services to better support mothers, babies, and families.Together, they reflect on their experiences serving diverse communities, the gaps that exist in postpartum care, and why so many families are left to navigate one of life's greatest transitions without meaningful support. They discuss the opportunity to weave holistic postpartum care, rooted in Ayurveda and the Universal Mother Principles, into systems that already serve families through social work, nonprofit organizations, and community-based programs. This conversation is an invitation to think beyond individual caregiving and toward collective transformation. If we want healthier families, stronger communities, and more resilient generations, postpartum must become part of the conversation wherever care is offered.Whether you are a social worker, birth professional, nonprofit leader, healthcare provider, or someone who simply believes every family deserves to be supported after birth, this episode offers both inspiration and practical possibilities for the future of postpartum care. In this episode, we explore:Why postpartum planning is so often overlooked despite careful birth planning.The unique role social workers and community organizations can play in postpartum healing.How Ayurvedic postpartum care complements existing support systems.The importance of culturally responsive, relationship-centered caregiving.Serving families through collaboration rather than isolated services.Building stronger communities by honoring the sacred postpartum window. At the Center for Sacred Window Studies, we believe that when we care for mothers with presence, nourishment, and consciousness, we change far more than one postpartum experience.

Spring Cleaning – Calgary FlamesThe Calgary Flames once again fell short of the Stanley Cup Playoffs during the 2025-26 season, officially seeing their postseason hopes come to an end on April 7. While expectations entering the year were modest following a quiet offseason, Calgary's inability to generate offense ultimately proved too much to overcome. Neil Smith and Vic Morren discuss the Flames' disappointing season, the emergence of young goaltending, and why General Manager Craig Conroy may still be well positioned to accelerate the club's rebuild thanks to significant draft capital, ample salary cap space, and a new arena on the horizon.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Flames are eliminated from playoff contention after another season in which expectations remained relatively low following minimal roster changes during the previous offseason. Neil and Vic examine why Calgary was unable to build upon its near-playoff finish from the year before.[00:00:30] Calgary proves to be one of the NHL's strongest home teams but struggles badly on the road. The panel identifies the club's biggest issue—one of the league's lowest-scoring offenses—as the primary reason the Flames were unable to remain in the playoff race.[00:01:00] Jonathan Huberdeau's continued offensive struggles are discussed after recording just 194 points over four seasons in Calgary before shutting himself down prior to the end of the season. On a positive note, Devon Cooley establishes himself as a dependable backup to Dustin Wolf following Dan Vladar's departure to Philadelphia.[00:01:30] Looking ahead, Vic outlines why Calgary's future remains brighter than its current results suggest. The Flames possess 11 selections in the 2026 NHL Draft, including two first-round picks and four second-round picks, while also holding multiple premium selections in both the 2027 and 2028 drafts.[00:02:00] The discussion turns to General Manager Craig Conroy's long-term rebuilding strategy. With a new arena scheduled to open in the coming years, the organization appears focused on assembling a competitive young roster that can grow alongside the franchise's next chapter.[00:02:45] Neil and Vic examine Calgary's offseason flexibility. The Flames enter free agency with nearly $10 million in available salary cap space, giving Conroy the opportunity to aggressively pursue upgrades through free agency, trades, or by leveraging the organization's impressive collection of draft assets.[00:03:00] Calgary's pending free agents are reviewed, including unrestricted free agents Ryan Lomberg, Victor Olofsson, and Jake Bean, along with restricted free agent John Beecher. The panel discusses which players may fit into the club's long-term plans.[00:03:30] The episode concludes by emphasizing that Calgary possesses many of the ingredients necessary for a quick turnaround. With significant cap flexibility, one of the league's deepest collections of future draft picks, and several important organizational decisions ahead, Neil believes the Flames have an opportunity to return to playoff contention much sooner than many expect—provided the right moves are made this offseason.

Brian also explores the topic of social media and the dangers of online addiction, highlighting a study that found people are spending countless hours generating twisted fiction using AI tools like ChatGPT. Meanwhile, the FBI warns about bank spoofing scams, where scammers use fake phone numbers to trick people into transferring money. The host shares his own experience with receiving suspicious calls from his bank and emphasizes the importance of verifying the authenticity of calls and messages. In a more serious tone, Brian discusses the COVID-19 pandemic and the controversy surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci's role in the cover-up of the virus's origins. Former Congressman Brad Wenstrup joins the conversation, sharing his experience on the Intelligence Committee and the investigation into the pandemic's origins. Brian and Brad Wenstrup delve into the details of the cover-up and the motivations behind it. Brian also welcomes Eric Conroy, a GOP candidate running against Greg Landsman in the first district. Conroy shares his vision for the district and discusses the importance of voter ID and the need to address the far-left shift in the Democratic Party. Brian and Conroy also touch on the topic of socialism and communism, and the dangers of embracing these ideologies in the United States. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ohio's 1st Congressional District candidate Eric Conroy joins the show to discuss the upcoming election and the importance of voter turnout. With the district having flipped to a 53% Republican area, Conroy's campaign is gaining momentum, and he's not taking anything for granted. As a former Air Force and CIA veteran, Conroy brings a unique perspective to the table, and he's not afraid to speak his mind. He emphasizes the need for practical solutions to economic and affordability issues, citing the success of the Republican Party's proposals, such as the "big beautiful bill" that eliminates taxes on tips and overtime. Conroy also highlights the importance of voter ID laws, which he believes are essential for maintaining the integrity of the election system. As the conversation unfolds, Conroy delves into the issues that matter most to the people of Ohio's 1st District, from the economy to healthcare. He also touches on the need for accountability in government agencies, citing the recent discovery of a 171% increase in Medicare claims due to fraud. Conroy's passion and expertise shine through as he discusses the challenges facing the district and the country at large. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boomer and Rhett are joined by Calgary Flames GM Craig Conroy as they discuss one of the most intriguing prospects in this year's NHL Draft: Viggo Bjork. With the Flames holding the sixth overall pick, there's a growing debate about whether Bjork will even be available when Calgary is on the clock and whether he should be the selection if he is. While much has been made about his size, the guys explore whether that concern still matters in today's NHL, where skill, hockey sense and competitiveness often outweigh traditional measurements. Conroy shares his thoughts on the draft process, while the conversation turns to how teams evaluate smaller players and whether the league has finally moved past its obsession with size. Could Viggo Bjork be exactly the type of player Calgary needs, or is there too much risk at sixth overall?

He also discusses who gets the final say on draft day, whether the Flames could move up the board, where the organization currently sits in its rebuild, and what it will take to build the next contending team in Calgary.

The Albanese government's announcement that Australia will now receive three used US Virginia-class submarines, rather than two used and one new, has put the spotlight back on the Aukus commitment. One of the strongest advocates for the $368bn agreement is defence industry minister Pat Conroy and he hits back at its critics – including the Labor MP Ed Husic. Speaking with political editor Tom McIlroy, the minister for Pacific Island affairs also discusses this week's visit by new Solomon Islands prime minister Matthew Wale and responds to speculation that Tony Abbott could run as the Liberal candidate in Conroy's seat of Shortland at the next election

Ohio Republicans redrew the 1st Congressional District to make it harder for a Democrat to hold, and now one of the most watched U.S. House races in the state is set: two-term incumbent Greg Landsman against Trump-endorsed newcomer Eric Conroy. In this solo episode of Purple Political Breakdown Ohio Edition, host Radell Lewis breaks down who these two men actually are and what their platforms would mean for the people of Ohio's 1st. On Landsman: the former public school teacher and Cincinnati councilman who flipped the seat in 2022, his anti-establishment economic populism and the ten-bill "Pledge to America" from his November 2025 manifesto The Great American Comeback, signature bills like the No Harm Data Centers Act and his push to stop an AI-driven Medicare prior-authorization program, and the Gaza and stock-disclosure criticisms he will have to answer. On Conroy: the Air Force and CIA veteran running on border security, energy independence, and a Trump-aligned agenda, where he lands on national defense, public safety, Social Security, veterans, and crypto, and the open question of whether a first-time candidate is more MAGA-aligned than this district really is. Plus Statehouse Watch: Governor DeWine's pause on Ohio's runaway data-center sales-tax exemption (a 1.6 billion dollar hit in 2025, eleven times the original estimate), the Ohio Supreme Court ruling that makes public records harder to pry loose from Attorney General Dave Yost's office, and the court vacating the permit for the 6,000 acre Oak Run Solar project. County of the Week is Hamilton County, anchored by Cincinnati and Mayor Aftab Pureval, who once ran for this very seat.

Conroy's book, part memoir and part exposé and thriller, is based on Conroy's lived experience over decades of reporting on national security and the illegal drug trade. It emphasizes the vital role of authentic journalism in a landscape marked with manipulation and deceit by powerful entities, such as the CIA.  The book highlights the challenges of investigating the intricate relationship between intelligence operations, law enforcers and narco-traffickers. The book also reveals, with evidence, how the CIA operates in the drug war — against other U.S. agencies, or with them, and in ignoring or even enabling cartel drug trafficking — all in pursuit of intelligence-gathering and other opaque national security goals. Conroy's 40-year journalism career has focused heavily on investigative reporting — as an editor-in-chief, managing editor and reporter. His work has been published online and in print for a range of publications, including daily newspapers; alternative and business weeklies; magazines; and national online publications, such as the Daily Beast, Narco News and HousingWire. He also have appeared in investigative documentaries aired by major networks, including the BBC, CNBC, the History Channel, Prime Video and Al Jazeera-Europe.  CIA assets and spies must be adept at carrying out illegal deeds overseas and then covering their tracks. That's because the CIA is breaking laws in any foreign nation in which it conducts espionage or other covert operations. CIA brass, by contrast, must concoct a public image and press narrative that conceals or deflects attention from that underlying illegal clandestine reality. It's spy culture. It keeps the gears of “The Great Pretense” in motion.

Episode 220: Approach of Insomnia in Adults     ARREAZA: Today we are going to talk about how to approach sleep issues in adults — from the initial assessment all the way through treatment. And I think what is going to surprise a lot of our listeners is the changes in management in recent years, especially what is recommended as first-line therapy. So, let's jump right in. MOIRA: Sleep is one of those topics that touches every specialty, but Primary Care in particular, so I'm excited to dig into this. ARREAZA: Let's start with the big picture–statistics. How common are sleep problems in adults? MOIRA: Incredibly common. Chronic insomnia affects roughly 10% of the general population, and that number has only grown in recent years . During the COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, prevalence rates of insomnia symptoms were reported globally at 20 to 45% (wow). And, importantly, those sleep problems did not simply resolve once infection rates dropped, insomnia symptoms and fatigue have continued even as mood improves in people recovering from COVID-19 infection.  ARREAZA: Incredible that we are in 2026 and still talking about COVID-19. And we clinicians need to understand that insomnia isn't just an annoyance. It has long-term consequences. Also, financially, insomnia causes direct and indirect costs of up to $100 billion each year. MOIRA: Exactly. Insomnia is both a risk factor for, and a symptom of, several psychiatric disorders, and it is a predictor of death by suicide, making it an important target for intervention. It's highly comorbid with medical and psychiatric disorders and is associated with significantly increased healthcare utilization and costs. People with insomnia also perform more poorly on complex cognitive tasks. So, we're talking about a condition that affects cognition, mental health, physical health, and quality of life. ARREAZA: And yet, it still gets overlooked in many clinical encounters. Let's be honest, dealing with insomnia is not easy on patients… and doctors! MOIRA: That's the paradox. Primary care practitioners are often poorly informed about sleep disorders, which remain underdiagnosed and sub-optimally managed. In one Italian epidemiological survey, insomnia was reported by 64% of over 3,000 patients interviewed under general practitioners, with 20% reporting both nighttime and daytime symptoms. So, the patients are there, we're just not always asking the right questions or knowing what to do when they tell us about their sleep. ARREAZA: Great. Let's talk about assessment. In my experience, we need a full encounter to address sleeping issues. Patients tend to mention insomnia as you start walking out of the room. Let's say a patient tells us, "Doctor, I can't sleep," how de we approach this? MOIRA: The first step is a comprehensive sleep and health history. Clinical assessment should describe the sleep disturbance and elicit etiological and exacerbating factors. You want to understand the nature of the complaint; is it difficulty to fall asleep, difficulty staying asleep, early morning awakening, or some combination? How long has it been going on? What's the impact on daytime functioning? ARREAZA: That's why I think it should be addressed in a full encounter, if possible, because understanding the full extent of the problem requires time. We need to think about contributing factors too. MOIRA: Absolutely. Factors such as medications, medical disorders, and psychiatric disorders can all increase the risk for insomnia. You need to screen for comorbid conditions, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. Insomnia is actually both a risk factor for and a symptom of several psychiatric disorders. You also want to rule out other primary sleep disorders. Comorbid insomnia and sleep apnea, for example, is highly prevalent and debilitating. If someone has both insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea, treating only one without addressing the other may lead to suboptimal outcomes. ARREAZA: Now that you mention comorbid conditions, let's mention nocturia. I feel like it's very common with my older patients. MOIRA: Great point. Nocturia (waking from sleep at night to void) and chronic insomnia frequently co-exist in older adults, contributing synergistically to sleep disturbance. Treatments typically target either nocturia or insomnia rather than simultaneously addressing the shared mechanisms for these disorders. There's emerging work on integrated cognitive-behavioral treatment programs that address both conditions simultaneously, which is a promising direction. But at minimum, you should be asking about it, because if nocturia is driving the awakenings, you need to address that as part of the treatment plan. _____________________ References: Baglioni, C., Altena, E., Bjorvatn, B., Blom, K., Bothelius, K., Devoto, A., … & Riemann, D.

Most of us assume that major hotel brands have sophisticated financial systems running behind the scenes. In this episode, Jess Conroy, CEO and co-founder of ROH, explains just how wrong that assumption is — and why she's spent the last several years building the financial core that hospitality never had.What We Covered:The manual payments problem hiding in plain sightWhy the biggest hotel brands have the biggest challengesThe hidden complexity of every hotel transactionWhy the hospitality industry was overlooked by fintechHow ROH got its start in meetings and eventsWhat "AI-first" actually means at ROHHow ROH fits into the existing hotel software stackThe go-to-market reality of a franchise-heavy industryA transaction-based model that aligns incentivesScale and growth: managing over $1 billion across the portfolioThe stale data problem driving bad hotel decisionsThe vision: a financial foundation for every hotel dollarKey TakeawaysHotel payments are a solved problem almost everywhere except hospitality itself — the industry's bias toward "human solves" left it behind.The complexity of hotel transactions (variable pricing, upgrades, OTAs, group contracts) makes automation far more valuable here than in simpler retail or restaurant contexts.Building something that didn't exist before is the hardest sales motion — you're not replacing a known tool, you're educating a market about a problem they've learned to live with.Year-over-year expansion within existing hotels is the clearest signal of product-market fit — customers keep expanding their use once they're on the platform.About Jess ConroyJess Conroy is the CEO and co-founder of ROH, a financial infrastructure platform for hotels. A second-time founder, she has spent nearly 15 years building in and around the hospitality industry. ROH is currently managing over $1 billion in hotel transactions across its growing portfolio.Connect with Fintech One-on-One:Tweet me @PeterRentonConnect with me on LinkedInFind previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

In the Cretaceous Period (c.100 million years ago) Egypt and North Africa were radically different environments. With vast tidal flats and mangroves, and a shallow sea, the continent fostered numerous animal and plant species. Creatures like Paralititan (sauropods); the sprinting Deltadromeus; the infamous Spinosaurus; and the newcomer Tameryraptor. These have been preserved in the fossil record from Egypt and other countries in North Africa. Today, we meet some of the inhabitants of this ancient landscape… Logo image: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, by Paleogeeksquared, via Wikimedia.
