After a weekend of atrocities from the Hanukkah massacre in Sydney to another campus shooting at Brown University, new American combat deaths in Syria, Trump's escalating boat strikes, looming conflict with Venezuela and brutal VA job cuts, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff turns to someone who can help us breathe, process and fight forward: democracy and respect advocate, Baratunde Thurston. Baratunde is an Emmy-nominated thought-leader, writer, comedian, technologist, culture critic and host of PBS's America Outdoors, as well as the creator of How to Citizen and Life with Machines, his new YouTube/AI series exploring how we live well with powerful technology. In this wide-ranging “Manosphere Monday” conversation, Paul and Baratunde unpack how to stay calm in all this chaos, how to citizen in a time of mass shootings and democratic backsliding, and why our real power is collective—not just a vote every two to four years. They dive into the toxic “manosphere” model of masculinity and Baratunde's devastating description of Pete Hegseth as chasing dominance instead of service, strength and restraint. They contrast that with the leadership of others who embody courage, compassion and a longer view of democracy and the planet. Is AI a Christmas present or dastardly coal in our stocking? Baratunde breaks down AI in plain language: why AI itself isn't taking your job, why AI is really about power and the human leaders making choices, and how we can “activate multiplayer mode” instead of being kept in fearful single-player mode. He explains how AI can help with everyday problems—from home repairs to navigating systems—while also forcing us to ask deeper questions about what we value, what education is for, and how we want to live. It's smart, useful and fun. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

The 18-page probable cause affidavit in the Rebecca Park murder case has been released, revealing disturbing new details about the 22-year-old pregnant woman's final moments. According to court documents, Cortney Bartholomew allegedly admitted to investigators that she cut her own daughter's baby out while Rebecca was still conscious, while her husband Bradly held a knife to Rebecca's throat. Both defendants are now pointing fingers at each other while simultaneously admitting they were present during the killing. The affidavit details 13 stab wounds, shifting stories, deleted phone data, and allegations that the baby's body was placed in a lunch cooler and thrown in a residential trash bin. Court documents also reveal that Cortney allegedly told investigators Bradly — her husband and Rebecca's stepfather — was the biological father of the unborn child. Bradly Bartholomew is a registered sex offender with multiple convictions. Rebecca leaves behind two sons, ages 2 and 3, now in the care of her adoptive mother. Probable cause hearings have been postponed until January. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. #RebeccaPark #TrueCrime #Michigan #WexfordCounty #CriminalJustice #MurderCase #CourtDocuments #BreakingNews #JusticeForRebecca #CrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Specialty retailers keep asking us: handheld scanners or overhead readers? So we settled it the only way we know how: with a knockdown, dragout debate between two RFID experts. In this Retail Technology Spotlight, Anne Mezzenga moderates as Madalynn Lauria (Team Handheld) and Pareiya Gupta (Team Overhead) from GreyOrange make their cases for the best RFID solution. From proving ROI on a tight budget to cutting inventory counts from hours to minutes, this conversation tackles the real questions retailers are wrestling with as they decide how to track inventory in 2026. The verdict? It's not as simple as picking a side. Whether you're testing RFID for the first time or scaling across hundreds of stores, the right answer depends on your velocity, your budget, and what you're actually trying to solve. But one thing's clear: manual counts and mystery stockrooms aren't going to cut it anymore. Key Topics covered: • How to test RFID with minimal budget and staff • Cutting inventory counts from hours to under 20 minutes • Why some retailers are going hybrid (overhead + handheld) • Real-time shrink visibility and where product actually disappears • Tracking TikTok trends and moving inventory between stores in hours • The smart fitting room problem nobody talks about Music by hooksounds.com *Sponsored Content* #RFID #retailtech #inventorymanagement #omnitalk #retailinnovation #smartretail #retailpodcast #omnichannelretail #retailoperations #supplychain
That moment when belief and doubt finally collide. In this episode, Sarah traces the fallout after IntSAR's internal mutiny. With trust eroded and questions mounting, key members begin to step away, revealing just how far-reaching the promises of Admiral Peter Cowell had become. From Thailand to Fiji, and across encrypted messages and recorded calls, The BADmiral follows the final unraveling of a story that started with hope, purpose, and uniforms — and ended in silence, debt, and disillusionment. Peter Cowell was contacted for comment during the production of this series. At the time of publication, no response has been received. All accounts and opinions in this series are those of the participants, based on their own experiences. Allegations are always attributed to their sources. The story is told in the public interest to examine how trust, belief, and ambition can intertwine.

Looking for a cozy-but-creepy Christmas horror movie to watch while the snow piles up outside? On this episode of Cutting Deep into Horror, hosts Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi dig into Wind Chill (2007), a snowbound Christmas ghost story directed by Gregory Jacobs and starring Emily Blunt and Ashton Holmes. Set the day before Christmas Eve on an icy Pennsylvania back road, Wind Chill strands two college students in a broken-down car, trapped in a supernatural time loop with vengeful ghosts, a corrupt highway patrolman, and deadly subzero wind chills that feel all too real.Henrique and Rachael break down why winter horror hits so hard, from the primal fear of being stuck in the cold to the way snow turns a lonely road into a coffin made of ice. They unpack the film's themes of trauma, vulnerability, and bad choices, exploring how a simple ride share home for the holidays becomes a story about boundaries, obsession, and the ghosts—literal and emotional—that won't stay buried.You'll hear why Wind Chill has become one of Henrique's go-to cold-weather watches, how Emily Blunt's performance hints at the superstar she'd become, and why Christmas ghost stories feel like the perfect counter-programming to warm, cozy holiday specials. Along the way, they share their own memories of brutal Midwestern wind chills, talk about what it's like to actually work in negative-20-degree weather, and compare real-life cold to the movie's white-knuckle survival stakes.Whether you're new to Wind Chill or revisiting it as part of your holiday horror marathon, this episode dives into the film's looping structure, ghostly mythology, and that unforgettable crooked cop, tying it all to ideas of eternal recurrence and what it means to finally break out of the past. It's a perfect listen if you love Christmas-set horror, snowbound thrillers, or underrated 2000s genre gems that deserved more love than their modest box office runs suggest.Inside this episode:Christmas road-trip horror: Why a simple rideshare home for the holidays is the perfect setup for a chilly Christmas ghost story and how Wind Chill uses a lonely back road to trap its characters in a supernatural bubble.Trauma, boundaries, and vulnerability: How the Girl and the Guy's messy emotional lives are just as dangerous as the crash, and why the movie hits differently if you've ever dealt with parasocial crushes, people-pleasing, or anxiety.Emily Blunt before blockbuster fame: A look at how Wind Chill showcases Blunt's range early on, and why this under-the-radar Christmas horror is a must-watch for her fans.Ghost stories at Christmas: The long tradition of telling Christmas ghost stories and where Wind Chill fits alongside other wintry horror staples the hosts love to revisit each year.The terror of real cold: Henrique's firsthand stories of working in savage wind chills and how that lived experience makes Wind Chill's frozen setting feel even more nightmarish.Loops, ghosts, and eternal recurrence: What Wind Chill is really saying about being stuck in the same patterns, and how the film's time loop and ghosts of 1953 tie into ideas of fate, choice, and escape.So grab a blanket, pour a hot drink, and queue up Wind Chill—then join Henrique and Rachael as they cut deep into holiday horror, one icy back road at a time.Where to watch Wind Chill (U.S.)Currently, Wind Chill (availability can change, so always double-check):Netflix — https://www.netflix.com/title/70053467The Roku Channel (free with ads) — https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/632ad3e4a9ba5a70b27d78ae75f1fe91/wind-chillTubi (free with ads) — https://tubitv.com/movies/695641/wind-chillAmazon Video (rent/buy) — https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B000W0C1M8Fandango at Home / Vudu (rent/buy) — https://athome.fandango.com/content/browse/details/Wind-Chill/128803

In this deeply vulnerable solo episode, Darin dismantles one of the great myths of modern self-help: that transformation is something you're meant to "do alone." Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, physiology, and personal experience, he reveals the biological truth — the human nervous system is designed to heal, grow, and stabilize in relationship, not isolation. This conversation explores why loneliness creates physiological damage, why belonging is a survival requirement (not a luxury), and how to intentionally rebuild the village your cells have been waiting for. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "inner work" but still feel disconnected, this episode is the medicine. What You'll Learn in This Episode 00:00:00 - Opening SuperLife intro narration. 00:00:32 - Sponsor: Therasage — family-driven healing technology, infrared and natural frequency support, details on discount. 00:02:11 - Darin begins the episode — "You were never meant to do this alone." 00:02:22 - The forgotten biology of community and why humans are not built for isolation. 00:03:01 - Your nervous system regulates in relationship — the vagus nerve, safety, co-regulation. 00:03:19 - Social engagement system — coherence, cortisol regulation, belonging as biology. 00:04:03 - Social pain = physical pain; the Baumeister research; the architecture of human connection. 00:05:01 - Tribes, proximity, shared life — Dunbar's number and the limits of real human networks. 00:05:30 - Loneliness as physiology — cortisol elevation, inflammation, disrupted sleep, gray-matter changes. 00:07:01 - Personal growth was never meant to be personal — autonomy, competence, relatedness, love. 00:07:55 - If nobody sees you, your nervous system can't relax — mirrors vs willpower. 00:08:31 - Social contagion of behavior — your network shapes your health. 00:09:01 - Who are you wired into? Environment as epigenetic instruction. 00:10:12 - Why online spaces generate stress instead of transformation. 00:10:35 - Darin's vision: community as a practice, not performance. 00:11:29 - Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste — plastic waste, sustainability, clean ingredients, discount code. 00:13:11 - What if growth wasn't a grind? What if healing was tribal again? 00:13:35 - Building intentional space — not fandom, not following, but practice. 00:14:11 - Supporting the nervous system through community; truth over scrolling. 00:15:04 - Why Patreon — structure, privacy, belonging, circle not feed. 00:15:23 - People looking for truth, depth, real connection — not performance. 00:15:51 - Start building your circle; align with those who align with you. 00:16:12 - You need to be seen, not fixed — community as transformation. 00:17:00 - One person can change your life — the power of being mirrored. 00:17:31 - Men's group, friendships, working out — the daily relational fabric. 00:18:01 - If you're lonely or disconnected, the desire for connection already shifts your biology. 00:18:41 - Darin reflects on a hard year, pain, stem cells, and the deeper healing found in being witnessed. 00:19:26 - Every cell responds when you say yes to deeper connection — the universe moves with it. 00:20:07 - Understanding human biology: we want love, connection, safety, belonging. 00:20:36 - Cutting through "what do you eat" questions — the real priority is connection. 00:21:00 - Closing: "Joy and happiness. Connection. We are built for it… I love you."

Hopestream for parenting kids through drug use and addiction
ABOUT THE EPISODE:When Jan Winhall landed her first job running a group for incest survivors in a psychiatric ward, she discovered something revolutionary: the young women's self-harming behaviors weren't signs of pathology – they were brilliant survival strategies orchestrated by dysregulated nervous systems. This revelation launched a 45-year journey that would transform how we understand trauma and addiction.Today, Jan brings her Felt Sense Polyvagal Model to parents navigating the bewildering landscape of their child's substance use. Her approach flips traditional treatment on its head: rather than analyzing thoughts and willpower, she teaches us to decode the body's wisdom.Your child's behaviors – the ones that terrify you most – might actually be their nervous system's desperate attempt to regulate between hyper-vigilance and shutdown. Jan's work reveals why true healing happens not through confrontation or consequences, but through co-regulation, physical connection, and understanding the body's protective mechanisms.You'll learn:• Why your child's "crazy" behaviors (cutting, bingeing, substance use) are actually sophisticated nervous system regulation strategies that shift them between states of survival• How to become a co-regulating presence for your dysregulated child through physical touch, synchronized breathing, and embodied connection – even when they're pushing you away• The critical difference between "bottom-up" body-based healing and traditional "top-down" cognitive approaches – and why talk therapy alone often fails with trauma and addiction• Simple daily practices (like extending your exhale or humming) that activate your ventral vagus nerve, creating the safety your child's nervous system desperately seeksEPISODE RESOURCES:Janwinhall.com - Jan's website (find a practitioner)Jan Winhall's YouTube channelFriendly Circle BerlinUnplugged CanadaArial Schwartz - Resilience Informed TherapyThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

There were three dissents in the latest interest rate cut from the Fed, one for 50bps and two for zero cuts. Kevin Hincks talks about the FOMC's differing views and the role its dual mandate plays. He also goes over the median economic projections and dot plot to explains why a rate cut likely is off the table for January. However, Kevin says quantitative easing will creep back into the Fed's lingo.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 8, 2025. 0:30 We get into a constitutional showdown that cuts right to the bone of American power — not just trade policy, but the question of who actually runs the country. With President Trump urging the Supreme Court to uphold his emergency tariff authority, we break down why this case isn’t some dry legal dispute, but a hinge moment for the entire republic. If the justices strip the president of the ability to hit hostile nations with swift economic pressure, America walks into the world stage handcuffed — with military force as its only leverage. But if the Court sides with the president, it reaffirms the very core of national sovereignty. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Department of Homeland Security announced they have found 62,000 immigrant children who had gone missing during the Biden Administration. Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is running for Senate in Texas. Paramount is trying to take over Netflix's takeover of Warner Brothers. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We dive into the latest ideological curveball out of New York City, where the incoming socialist mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, is suddenly promising sweeping, pro–small business reforms — at least on paper. Cutting taxes, slashing fees and fines by 50%, speeding up permits, even creating a “mom-and-pop czar” to bulldoze red tape. Sounds great, right? Maybe a little too great. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that hits right at the heart of the season: what’s the best way to give at Christmastime? And their answers go way beyond the glossy charity commercials and big-name nonprofits. From real-time giving where you see a need and fill it on the spot, to the quiet, behind-the-scenes acts of service that make a community run, the Mamas lay out the kinds of generosity that really matter — the kind that isn’t swallowed up by million-dollar CEO salaries or bloated overhead. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 This story takes us to Ireland, where one priest is saying the quiet part out loud — and saying it every single Sunday. Father Brendan Kilcoin, an Irish Catholic priest, isn’t tiptoeing, isn’t hedging, isn’t hiding behind vague language. He’s warning his country that Ireland isn’t simply drifting from Christianity… it’s being pulled apart from both ends. On one side, aggressive secularism. On the other, mass immigration from cultures shaped not by the Gospels, but by entirely different religious traditions. And Father Kilcoin isn’t offering the kind of soft, non-committal commentary you usually hear from clergy. He’s calling for something bolder — legal immigration, yes, but explicitly Christian immigration. Not to shock, not to provoke, but because he believes Ireland is losing the very foundation that once held its culture together. 26:00 We Dig Deep into a new Harvard–HarrisX poll — yes, that Harvard–HarrisX, the one that’s been off by five, sometimes ten points to the left for three straight election cycles — and even they can’t hide what voters are saying. Strip the Trump name off the policies, and suddenly Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of every major plank the president is pushing. Border security, deporting illegal immigrants — even all illegal immigrants — tariffs, military action against cartels, banning men from women’s sports, ending racial preferences, freezing foreign aid, the whole thing. Policy after policy, Americans are on board. And yet? The same voters give Trump middling approval numbers. We break down how the media machine, the “no-kings” narrative, and years of Trump-is-Hitler hysteria have created a bizarre split-brain politics where people love the ideas but think they’re supposed to hate the guy proposing them. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down a story most media outlets won’t touch: the growing pressure campaign against crisis pregnancy centers — the very places research shows could have changed everything for the 60% of women who say they would’ve chosen life if they’d had just a little more support. Instead of helping these centers do exactly that, states like New Jersey are trying to force them to hand over their donor lists, despite admitting they had zero complaints, zero evidence of wrongdoing, and were basically on a political fishing expedition. 35:30 In a rare moment of Hollywood clarity, Jennifer Lawrence just told The New York Times something you almost never hear from an A-list celebrity: she’s stepping back from politics — not because she’s changed her mind, but because she finally realizes her opinions don’t change elections… they just pour gasoline on a country already split down the middle. We dive into the audio, break down Lawrence’s surprisingly grounded admission, and spotlight her warning that celebrity activism can actually damage careers, alienate half an audience, and even contribute to political hostility.

Investors will have their attention all on Fed Chair Jerome Powell and the FOMC in a highly-anticipated interest rate decision. Ian Wyatt believes a hawkish tone will lead to a pause in January. He expects that pause to come more from inflation woes tapping into the Fed's dual mandate even as cracks widen in the jobs market. John Blank says he's "not too worried" about the labor, though he worried about what 2026 as a whole can look like for interest rates. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Some conversations feel scripted. This one… absolutely did not. Larry Robbins walked in ready to talk life, passion, family, culture, workholding, philosophy, and whatever else popped into his head — and somehow it all connected back to manufacturing. This episode of MakingChips is one of the most unhinged, hilarious, honest, and wisdom-packed conversations we've ever recorded. Larry has been in the industry for nearly 46 years, and he's collected enough stories, scars, and laughs for ten careers. From his father dragging him into the business ("long hair doesn't work here") to his famous explanation that SMW makes "magic hands," Larry blends humor and experience into lessons every shop owner needs to hear. His passion for the industry is unmatched — and his candor is even better. Throughout the episode, the crew dives into culture, leadership, lying (don't), modularity, flexibility, high-density workholding, predictable setups, financing equipment, and why you should stop crawling across a dollar to pick up a dime. Larry opens up about the future of manufacturing, warns against bad advice, and reminds everyone that machining touches every single thing in the world. If you're ready for an episode that's equal parts educational and unhinged in the best possible way, buckle up — Larry Robbins is in rare form.

Despite the challenging economic landscape and wave of layoffs across many sectors, finding exceptional senior talent remains a challenge, and many employers are making it worse for themselves. Trust has eroded with lengthy interview processes, poor candidate experience, and misaligned employer branding are pushing top talent away. With as many as one in four workers set to be over 55 by 2031, age-related biases are also causing employers to overlook exactly the experience they need The best insights always come from looking at things from the job seeker's point of view, and that is precisely the insight my guest this week can offer us. Loren Greiff, Founder of Portfolio Rocket, is a career strategist for C-Suite executives. In our conversation, she reveals how top candidates assess roles, what builds and destroys trust in executive hiring, and why your process might be filtering out your best prospects. The frameworks Lauren discusses will also be very relevant to TA leaders navigating their own career moves. In the interview, we discuss: The current state of the market Cutting through the noise Identifying urgent and expensive problems Use of AI in the executive job search The hidden cost of age bias Highlighting the trust issue Ability, agility, and adaptability The future of careers and jobs Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

The Donald Trump administration revealed the US empire's new plan for global dominance in the 2025 National Security Strategy. The goal is to impose hegemony in the Western Hemisphere, reviving the colonial Monroe Doctrine, to move supply chains out of Asia and bring manufacturing into Latin America via "nearshoring", in order to economically decouple from China and prepare for conflict in Cold War Two.

Rebecca Park was twenty-two years old and thirty-eight weeks pregnant when she vanished from her biological mother's home in Boon Township, Michigan on November 3rd, 2025. For twenty-one days, volunteers searched the dense forests of Wexford County. Her biological mother Cortney Bartholomew gave interviews to local news, claiming a stranger in a black sedan had picked Rebecca up and driven away. Her fiancé pleaded for her safe return. Her sister said she hadn't been sleeping. Then, on November 25th, Rebecca's father — the man who had adopted and raised her — found her body in the Manistee National Forest while searching with volunteers. She was no longer pregnant. The baby was gone. What prosecutors allege happened is almost beyond comprehension. According to Wexford County Prosecutor Johanna Carey, Cortney Bartholomew and her husband Brad Bartholomew lured Rebecca to their home, forced her into a vehicle, drove her into the woods, stabbed her, forced her to the ground, and cut her baby from her body. Both Rebecca and her baby died. The prosecutor called it "evil personified" and said the couple had conducted research and created a plan before carrying out the attack. Cortney and Brad Bartholomew now face eight charges each, including first-degree murder, torture, and assault of a pregnant individual causing stillbirth. Both are being held without bond. Brad Bartholomew is a registered sex offender with prior convictions involving minors and is being charged as a habitual offender facing life in prison. Rebecca's fiancé Richard Falor and her sister Kimberly Park were also arrested on separate charges including drug distribution and lying to police. Neither has been charged with murder. The baby has not been found. The investigation continues.

Inserted ad free shows:www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey! Comedy Legend and serious recovery survivor Darrel Hammond comes on the show! We dispose of a dead opossum. We reads listener messages about Patreon, Pearl Jam, the Charlotte McKinney episode, Spotify reviews, Theo Von speculation, “Many Rivers to Cross,” NA vs AA, and future guests like Tim Dillon. There's a voicemail about colonoscopy propofol and an email from Canadian listener Dylan about secretly smoking purple fent in rehab and still graduating before getting three years clean on methadone. Dave tells his own stories about using in treatment and invites more “using in rehab” emails.The main interview is a long, raw conversation with Darrell Hammond about childhood abuse, feeling like an outsider, drinking his first Bush beers, baseball, impressions as survival, and finally uncovering buried trauma in intense psychodrama therapy. Darrell talks about self-blame around his sponsor's suicide, years of in-and-out sobriety, cutting as a way to control panic and signal pain, and trying to work at SNL while hiding self-harm and drinking after the show. He gets into Clinton, the Comedy Cellar, how he finds the “funny” in impressions, the crack-house story on 137th Street, and the stroke that finally terrified him into fully embracing recovery, meetings, cognitive therapy, yoga, connection, and a “life of consultation.” He closes with his “religion” (improve myself, contribute to others' happiness) and his take on God, gravity, Einstein, and serenity. Dave wraps with Patreon/Zoom plugs, Safe Spot and sticker/mustard ads, a quick Andrew Dice Clay impression, a mini rant about Instagram, and a sincere reminder that recovery is the best thing that ever happened to him. All that and more on this weeks installment of the good old dopey show! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
