This week, we take a break from Greece for our monthly Shakespeare and turn to Much Ado About Nothing, a play I found completely charming.After a quick trip through the plot, I compare Much Ado with last month's As You Like It: the different ways Shakespeare moves the action along, the surprising darkness lurking inside his comedies, and the very different themes he manages to explore while still making us laugh. We'll also look at one unexpectedly moving speech about grief that stopped me in my tracks.Finally, I talk about Kenneth Branagh's gorgeous 1993 film adaptation, featuring Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, a very young Kate Beckinsale—and, fresh off his iconic Point Break role, Keanu Reeves!If Shakespeare makes you nervous, this funny, accessible play might be a very good place to start. And if you're tired of the comedy, come back next week for everyone's favorite Shakespeare for Halloween: Macbeth!BOOKS IN THIS EPISODEFolgers Library Editions of As You Like It, Much Ado About Nothing, Henry V, Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth.CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes (Amazon affiliate links): https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ Like what you heard?

Kick-off those worn-out shoes, let your hair down and pour yourself some lite roast, because the Bo-Hosts welcome you to: Sammy Sunday Mornings! The "BONUS OTIS" mini-episodes are bite-sized and focus on the mellower side of the RedRocker's catalog!In this episode, the Bo-Hosts follow up 1976's eerily prophetic "Crack in the World" with 1977's "Little Star/Eclipse". At the time of recording, Sammy was on the Eddie Trunk show discussing the Vegas Residency, and his future. Sammy said he wanted to revisit his solo catalog, and more specifically, revive and complete his epic "Space Opera".Sammy fans know that each album he's has done has included a song about space, time, aliens, contact from beyond, UFO's or the universe itself. This song essentially merges Christian imagery, Floyd-esque psychedelic imagery and science fiction.In this episode the Bo-Hosts also explore the songs that continue this thematic through-thread, and which tune comprise Sammy's "Space Opera", to try and decipher his full message.Is it:contact → another world → aliens → silver lights → the Milky Way → altered consciousness → transformation.Or is it:outer space, spiritual mystery, transformation, escape from the physical self, and the possibility that humanity is part of something much larger.Or both?Pour a coffee, slip into some soft pants and you decide!All songs available for purchase on iTunes! We bought it- so should you!Be sure to check out our Sammy Sunday Mornings playlist on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1CTfcl4F52kCPMBoWf3P3f?si=h6uAFSNsT1mOLYtbUhiaSA"What is understood...NEED be discussed"Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085582159917Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebogusotisshow/?hl=enX:https://x.com/BogusOtisShowYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@TheBogusOtisShowTik Tok:https://www.tiktok.com/@thebogusotisshowConnect with the Bo-Hosts:bogusotisshow@gmail.com

With DopeyCon's game show edition coming up on October 3, Dave revisits the COVID-era DopeyCon 2. He opens by remembering the work that went into making a remote convention and the community members lost along the way, especially Colleen MC, to whom the original event was dedicated. An Australian listener then tells a mushroom story about falling deeply in love with a “tree” that turned out to be an ordinary yucca bush.The replay brings together Dopey Nation voices and guests including Marc Maron, Bam Margera, Jessica Kent, Mike Majlak, Brandon Novak, Bob Forrest, Dr. Nzinga Harrison and Dr. Drew. Anders Osborne performs “Mind of a Junkie,” Scout Willis sings, and Dave visits places tied to Dopey's beginnings. The stories move between absurd drug use and the lives people have built in recovery. Near the end, Dave remembers Colleen's kindness and service to others; Alan then helps deliver a gloriously awkward final review.Alll that and somehow more in the newest new old episode of dopey ever!

Guys… suspended bass. The most frustrating fish in the water.
New York’s QB1 will be out for several weeks, but like coach John Harbaugh said, at least the injury wasn’t “LIFE THREATENING!!” It was certainly a lot different than the injury suffered by Jayden Daniels, which may keep him out longer than either Dart or Caleb Williams. Jason and Mike question whether Daniels is fit enough to sustain a long career in the NFL. As Mike says, Jayden’s arm is just like “Crack, Snapple and Pop.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What happens when a police officer asks you to roll down your car window? Is it safer to comply, or does cracking the window protect your rights? In this episode, we break down the law, the myths, and what really matters at the roadside.I answer a real-world listener question about police requesting drivers to roll down their windows and whether refusing or only cracking the window protects the driver.I discuss the "plain sniff" test, where officers claim to smell contraband, and the legal strategy around window compliance. The listener asks about the Mims order, where law enforcement can lawfully order you out of the vehicle following a valid traffic stop, and the risks associated with non-compliance.I cover the the practical and perceptual consequences of only slightly opening your window and how that may affect your case. The plain view doctrine and its implications during traffic stops round out the episode.Key Takeaways:There is generally no law requiring you to roll your window all the way down for police (00:41), but refusing can escalate the situation (01:24).The Pennsylvania v. Mims case allows police to order drivers out of the vehicle after a lawful stop (01:02).Cracking your window may be used as evidence of "consciousness of guilt" in court (01:53), potentially hurting your case later.The plain view exception allows officers to seize contraband visible from outside the car (03:32).Legal battles are best fought in court, not on the roadside; comply with lawful orders and contest issues through legal channels (03:16).Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

We're two-thirds of the way through The Iliad, and instead of marching book by book through the action, this week I'm following the characters.Where have Achilles, Agamemnon, Menelaus, Paris, and Hector actually been—and what have they been doing—through Book 16? Some are fighting, some are leading, and some are doing remarkably little. Along the way, we'll look at Hector as the story's moral center, the very different stakes facing mortals and immortal gods, and the moment that finally changes everything for Achilles.I also compare three translations of Book 16: Robert Fagles, Emily Wilson, and the wonderfully readable 1938 prose translation by W.H.D. Rouse. Wilson surprised me, Rouse continues to charm me, and Fagles remains my standard.Make sure to stick around for Patroclus' amazing last words.BOOKS IN THIS EPISODEThe Iliad: Fagles, Wilson, and Rouse.CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes (Amazon affiliate links): https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/Like what you heard?

Man City stay perfect with a 5-3 win over Sunderland, but they conceded 3.6 xG, their worst defensive game in over a decade. We break down whether Maresca's expansive approach is a fixable balance issue or a real problem. Arsenal get thumped 3-0 at Brighton, and we dig into whether the press actually cracked their defense or exposed something else. Real Madrid lose the Madrid derby to Atletico, and Mourinho's project looks shakier than ever. Plus Leeds and Brentford quick hits, Chelsea's midfield mess, and our verdict on Tottenham vs Man United: who should actually be more worried?

Since the Crack Daddy is an expert in basement waterproofing, one might imagine that water is just too afraid of him and will take its menace to a less capable victim, right? Wrong. In this episode, Adam reveals his own battle with water leaking in his finished basement.
Above all, Max rejected fantasizing and accepted reality. The more I smoked Crack, the more I fantasized everything. I imagined getting even for hurts and rejections. In my mind's eye I played and replayed scenes in which I was plucked magically from the crack house where I stood licking a pipe and was instantly exalted to some posi- tion of power and prestige. I lived in a dream world. The 12 steps and fellowship led me gently from this fantasizing to embrace reality with open arms. And I found it beautiful! For, at last, I was at peace with myself.

Americans' 401(k) balances are hitting records—but nearly one in five workers has an outstanding plan loan. Don and Tom explain why a properly sized emergency fund should protect retirement savings from life's inevitable surprises.They also show why TLT and other long-term Treasury funds are not cash substitutes: when rates move, long-duration bonds can swing like stocks. A diversified bond allocation, regular rebalancing, and clear buckets matter more than chasing today's yield.Then they examine a puzzling Social Security statement and Robinhood's expanding prediction markets, where a simple yes-or-no contract looks a lot more like gambling than investing.00:35 — Retirement savings reach record highs05:49 — The rise of 401(k) loans07:45 — Building the right emergency fund09:19 — When and why to rebalance13:08 — Why TLT is not cash19:23 — A strange Social Security estimate22:34 — Robinhood's prediction-market gambleQuestions?

It's great that we're reading the Iliad, but sometimes it feels like you've walked into a party that where everyone knows everyone--except you!This week my son and Classics scholar Jack joins me to talk about the backstories in the Iliad. There are many, but the three we break down in particular are:The backstory of the Atrides family: Agamemnon and Menelaus come from a house that has been cursed from a child sacrifice several generations earlier. And Agamemnon in particular has perpetuated that curse himself. How does that affect his leadership and Menelaus' quest for his wife Helen?The backstory of the House of Priam: The king of Troy watched his city destroyed, and he returned to rebuild it from ashes. And how did Paris bring the entire Helen debacle onto his head? Will Troy burn to the ground again?The birth story of Achilles: from his mother Thetis' relationship with Zeus to his own relationship with the gods, especially Athena, there is a lot to open up here. When last we left Achilles, I thought he was acting a little bratty, to be honest. Can Jack change my mind?How exactly the Trojan War started: The Iliad starts nine years into war, and the Iliad itself never tells how Paris came to meet Helen at all! Jack fills in the blanks with this one.Since we ran out of time on this episode, I cover Books 7 through 12 over on the Substack.I hope you found this week's look at "what came before" helpful. Of course it's totally possible to enjoy the story without knowing backstories. But for me, knowing how everyone got to the battlefield in Troy makes the story much richer.Join us next week as we pick up the narrative again!BOOKS IN THIS EPISODEThe Iliad: Fagles, Rouse, and Wilson.CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes (Amazon affiliate links): https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ Like what you heard?

No Mike, but we soldiered on. News, a question and lots of talk about recent comics.
Black Label has one of the wildest stories we've ever heard on The Connect. Growing up in extreme poverty in St. Petersburg, Florida, he was surrounded by crack, violence, and chaos from an early age. By 11 years old, he was already selling drugs. By his late teens, Black Label says he was helping run a multi-million-dollar drug operation, moving large quantities of crack and cocaine while leading a crew in one of the most dangerous environments imaginable. But the money came with consequences. Kidnappings, robberies, violence, federal investigations, and eventually a massive indictment brought the entire world crashing down. Black Label ultimately spent 15 years behind bars, including 28 months in solitary confinement. In this episode, Black Label takes us inside the crack era of 1990s St. Petersburg, explains how a white kid became accepted in an all-Black neighborhood and prison environment, breaks down the mentality that allowed him to survive, and reveals what finally happened when federal agents closed in. He also opens up about his brutal childhood, his relationship with his mother, the lessons he learned in prison, taking responsibility for his decisions, and how he rebuilt his life after coming home. Today, Black Label has transformed his name into a brand, building a professional chauffeur and security business while becoming a viral social media personality and host of the Black Label Lounge. His message now centers around turning “pain into purpose” and showing people that where you start doesn't have to determine where you finish. This is the incredible story of survival, crime, prison, entrepreneurship, identity, and reinvention — told by the one and only Black Label. Go Support Black!

Three years away has left Bill unprepared for an Earth where people can send perfect artificial bodies out to live for them. When an old rival threatens the woman he still loves, Bill discovers that becoming almost impossible to kill may be easier than accepting what life has become. Coffin For Two by Winston Marks. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Winston Marks was a Wisconsin-born science fiction writer who became remarkably prolific in the 1950s, publishing nearly 60 stories in just a few years. Before making his living as a writer, Marks claimed an extraordinary assortment of jobs—including aircraft pilot, soldier, sailor, bellhop, advertising man, electronics technician, political campaign manager, linoleum layer, and sugar loader—which probably gave him plenty of material for his often humorous, slightly offbeat fiction. This is his eleventh story on our podcast. It was first published in the September 1955 publication Imaginative Tales on page 70, Coffin For Two by Winston Marks… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A familiar world becomes terrifying when everyone around Sam Weber accepts a new order that he cannot understand.

Aston Villa host Nottingham Forest at Villa Park in the Premier League on Saturday, looking for a first league win of the season. The game comes off the back of Villa's first win of their Champions League campaign, a 3-2 victory away at Club Brugge. This week's Villa News starts with the additional benefits of the win beyond the three points.There's a proper look at Forest under new manager Oliver Glasner, who inherits a back-three system and a Villa Park record that has been anything but kind to visitors from the City Ground in recent seasons. Yet, Unai Emery has faced Glasner seven times in his managerial career — every one of them against Glasner's Crystal Palace - and has never won, losing five. No manager has played Emery more often and stayed unbeaten. Saturday has added motivation for the Villa boss to get Villa's first three league points of the season.Elsewhere: the distance-covered numbers that explain why Boubacar Kamara keeps getting substituted for Ross Barkley, whether or not the online reaction likes it; the ongoing case of George Hemmings starting ahead of three considerably more expensive summer signings; and two stories that have nothing to do with Villa at all but earned their place anyway - Manchester City's baffling influencer-marketing push and a non-league goalkeeper who's about to become an actual king.UTVRestock on discounted Adidas Originals stock and last season's shirts - Use code MOMS10 for an extra 10 % off hereBecome a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows - MOMS MembershipJoin the show's listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

DopeyCon Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2345507PAtreon save $15 at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastEpisode summaryLeah Martin—farmer, Deadhead, Phish fan and recovering addict—joins Dopey for a story that begins with the Beatles, weed and an acid trip at a Tool concert before descending into Perc 30s, heroin, crack, fentanyl and absolute chaos.Leah recalls failing out of college, selling drugs, taking half-gram lines of cocaine while driving and joining a crew of “magnificent hippies” who followed Furthur across the country. She lived in Golden Gate Park, trimmed weed in California and supported herself on tour by selling water—only to return home between runs and fall deeper into opioid addiction.After getting sober for four years, Leah met Brian through the recovery and jam-band community. They fell in love, moved to the Atlantic City area and eventually relapsed together during COVID. What followed included pressed fentanyl pills, crack runs, repeated overdoses, approximately ten Narcan reversals apiece and an unbelievable arrest in which Leah slipped out of her handcuffs, stole her confiscated crack from the police evidence bag and fought the cops—earning seven felonies and eight misdemeanors.The story turns heartbreaking when Leah recounts waking up after her own overdose and finding Brian dead in their living room. She talks honestly about grief, trauma treatment, another relapse, more overdose deaths and finally building a sober life through therapy, community, farming and helping others process loss.Plus: a dog eats weed-infused chocolate espresso beans, Lauren explains bell ringers and “dragon's breath,” Zach shares a powerful recovery message, Dave reacts to the Hunter Biden episode comments and more more more on a brand new yet seriously old school new episode of that good old Dopey Show!
