Podcasts about Death Race

Send us a textThe sweet spot of human potential often lies just beyond where most people are willing to venture. What happens when we deliberately seek out our limits, not just to discover them but to push past them? This profound question sets the stage for my upcoming participation in the 2025 Spartan Death Race—one of the world's most extreme and unpredictable endurance challenges.My journey toward this event began in 2011 when, as a high school wrestler, I stumbled upon footage of participants diving into freezing Vermont ponds at 2AM to retrieve pennies needed to continue after already enduring 24+ hours of challenges. Where most saw pointless suffering, I recognized something magnetic—a rare opportunity to discover what exists beyond conventional boundaries. That fascination never faded, eventually leading to a conversation with Spartan founder Joe DeSena and ultimately, my acceptance into this legendary event.Unlike traditional races with clear parameters, the Death Race thrives on uncertainty. The experience begins months before the starting line with monthly challenges designed to eliminate the mentally unprepared—finding logs weighing more than your body weight to drag through snow, solving puzzles while hanging upside down, completing 500 tire flips. Of roughly 100 selected participants each year (chosen from those with impressive endurance résumés including ultramarathon finishes and special forces experience), approximately half abandon their commitment before race day arrives.What draws someone toward such deliberate difficulty? Two powerful motivations: discovering the better version of myself that exists on the other side of extraordinary challenge, and proving myself right about what I'm truly capable of. These lessons transcend the physical arena, building resilience applicable to every aspect of life. When we embrace discomfort rather than avoid it, we develop tools that serve us professionally, personally, and spiritually.The greatest potential often lies just beyond what we believe possible. What difficulty are you willing to embrace to discover yours? Join me on this journey by following along, and more importantly, by finding your own version of "doing hard things"—whatever that means for you.Thank you for tuning in!

Send us a textI couldn't tell you the date, but I remember sitting in my parent's basement, my buddy Dave was over and spending the night. We were staying up late, drinking why too much Dr. Pepper and eating all the popcorn we could get our hands on. We were watching late night movies and having a blast like most 10-year-olds.That's when we watched what I would later figure out, was my first Post Apocalyptic Film…The Omega Man with Charlen Heston.It wouldn't be my last.The idea of a world where all the people were gone and you could just run around and grab whatever you wanted was pretty cool for a 10 year old. I have to admit it was pretty cool as a 16 year old as well when I watched Night of the Comet.Since then, I have seen them all…Ok, not all of them. But, from The Last Man on Earth, to A Boy and His Dog, from Death Race 2000, to Road Warrior, and from Escape from New York, to finally Children of Men (which by the way is the best post-apocalyptic movie every)We could spend hours or maybe even days talking about the post-apocalyptic genre. From Books, to films, to computer games and yes, table top roleplaying games. But Mike, Christina, and I are going to try our best a focus on the genre concepts of the post-apocalyptic scene and how to bring them into your roleplaying games.Let's start with you Mike, Do you remember your fist taste of the Post Apocalypse?

Marina Anderson Ex-Wife of David Carradine, The Eye of My Tornado / Four Feet to Fame: A Hollywood Dog Trainer's Journeyop culture/Memoir/autobiography.This is a significant and very personal book.This book has been inducted into the Johnny Grant Hollywood Walk of Fame Library."...it was one long rollercoaster thrill... Mr. Toad's wild ride...intense passion and emotion. He was the eye of my tornado." Marina Anderson.Marina Anderson was just starting out taking acting lessons at Warner Bros., when she wandered one afternoon onto the candlelit set of a Shaolin temple and met for the first time, the volatile, dark and brilliant personality that was actor and icon, David Carradine. Two dynamic people merging into a karmic-destined, intense and turbulent love relationship. Each struggling with their own demons including sexual abuse and incest. Their private life was replete with love, passion, erotic pleasure and eventually bondage, sexual experimentation, and pain as an avenue to pleasure. Their marriage was marred by a toxic secret that could not be ignored. Her writing speaks to readers universally by focusing on their personal journey, revealing the truth about the couple, addresses conquering fear and overcoming obstacles, self discovery, recovery, re-inventing and rebuilding one's self. It's her personal survival while desperately trying to save the marriage as well as Carradine's constant struggle to be someone he wasn't, but wished he could be. Spirituality, psychic John Edward,other psychics and astrologers who helped her are written about in the book as well. They were married on the Warner Bros. back lot and their six-year relationship was a whirl of auditions, star-studded parties, exotic locations, red carpets and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Marina, who was already an established actress, became Carradine's personal manager and set about rehabilitating the career of an actor who was now known for his heavy drinking. She introduced him to Quentin Tarantino, who cast David in a lead role in the popular Kill Bill films. This vaulted Carradine back onto the Hollywood A-list.After their divorce with the help of re-known celebrity Dr. Drew Pinsky (Celebrity Rehab, Sober House), issues are addressed in the consultation verbatim, occupying an entire chapter. Anderson was able to finally exorcise the demons that have haunted her for so long about their relationship and herself that almost destroyed her. "This book is an avenue for his fans and the general public to know, understand and hopefully accept him as a man, not a celluloid fantasy...to be admired for his talents and the motivations behind certain issues in his life understood. It's also to reveal the very personal interior of a marriage that people can relate to. What we do for love. We are all human beings with our faults. He was afraid people wouldn't remember him. That will never happen. The legend continues."David Carradine's acting career spanned four decades onstage, television and cinema. He became an international sensation as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s hit television series Kung Fu and cemented his cult hero status with his role in the classic movie Death Race 2000. He portrayed Woody Guthrie in Hal Ashby's Bound for Glory and Bill in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films. Carradine received four Golden Globe nominations. He was a talented songwriter and musician and performed in a band called Cosmic Rescue Team.He died in a Bangkok hotel room, June 3, 2009, an apparent victim of autoerotic asphyxiation. Amid sensational media speculation, Marina refused to let David's death remain stigmatized like it was and launched her own investigation into the death of her ex-husband. Suicide? Foul play? A sex act gone wrong? Was he alone? Was there a cover-up? Her conclusions are startling.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Send us a textImagine being forced to run a race where losing means death. That's exactly what happened to Grand Vizier Haci Salih Pasha in 1822, a dramatic and little-known chapter from the annals of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire, one of history's most formidable powers, spanned over 600 years, commanding vast territories across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Renowned for its rich culture, breathtaking architecture, and intricate political system, it was a world where power and peril walked hand in hand—especially for the Grand Vizier, the Sultan's second-in-command.Haci Salih Pasha hailed from Izmir, a bustling port city in the Ottoman realm. His journey to power began modestly—serving as master of the barley and minister of powdermills—before his administrative prowess and loyalty propelled him to deputy grand vizier. In 1821, he ascended to the coveted role of Grand Vizier. Yet, this prestigious position came with a deadly catch: the Grand Vizier was often the fall guy for the empire's troubles.During Salih Pasha's tenure, the Ottoman Empire grappled with the Greek War of Independence. For centuries, the Greeks had lived under Ottoman rule, but now they fought fiercely for freedom. The conflict was brutal, marked by atrocities on both sides. Despite Salih Pasha's efforts, the Ottoman forces faltered, and Sultan Mahmud II grew increasingly displeased. In 1822, the Sultan summoned Salih Pasha to Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, a sprawling complex that served as the sultans' residence for over four centuries. Within its walls lay the Sultan's garden—a serene oasis of lush greenery and elegant fountains, soon to become the stage for a life-or-death ordeal.Upon arrival, Salih Pasha faced a chilling ritual: he was handed a cup of sherbet. White sherbet signaled safety; red meant death. When he received the red sherbet, his fate seemed sealed. But there was one last chance—the “Death Race.” In this extraordinary ritual, the condemned Grand Vizier had to outrun the chief executioner through the garden to the Fish Market Gate. Victory meant exile and survival; defeat meant immediate execution.The odds were stacked against Salih Pasha. At 50 years old, clad in a long ceremonial tunic unsuited for sprinting, he faced a young, agiRead MF Thomas' novels Like Clockwork https://amzn.to/417lOzyArcade https://amzn.to/4aTpisxA Sickness in Time https://amzn.to/41apSPKSeeing by Moonlight ...

The BTBs wrap up their 2024 (but in 2025) Creepy Pasta adventure with three more stories written by the fellas themselves. There's no prompt this week so who knows what these stories could be about?!First Spencer takes a crack at Brian's mystery thriller Saddled with Suspicion, which features not only the debut of a beloved fake gumshoe from a recently covered Boob Tube Boys episod,e but also the return of one of the show's greatest villains (Kevin Sorbo). Will they solve the theft of Big Moses the horse? Only God above knows...Van then orates Spencer's heart-pounding horror story The Ricotta Room, a stirring addition to the Pete Lightning: Boy Architect universe.

Can our heroic Sean Penn impersonator win the race to save humanity? What is God Jr's deal? Will the bit about bringing his most prized posession come up again or did Van just forget that plot point?

Artificial Intelligence is said to have reached its Sputnik moment in the wake of Trump's thrust into 21st-century technocracy and was met with an answer from China called “Deep Seek.” This AI chatbot can be operated at a lower cost and is more efficient than US Open AI. The technocratic offerings in this world are destroying humanity and we are adapting to conditions that have been geoengineered and culturally modified for decades. Rudolf Steiner explains that the ultimate goal of adversarial powers is to draw as much of humanity into the Eighth Sphere which is ultimately, the A.I. Metaverse. Are you willing to submit to the coming Transhuman Utopia? Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time) Clyde Lewis talks about DEEP SEEK – DEATH RACE IN THE 8th SPHERE.

Can we have fun? David Leitch says YESSSS. Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham spend two hours trading kindergarten-level insults about each other's height and baldness while saving the world from a techno-virus and Super Smart Idris Elba. Being a Fast & Furious movie, we obviously have FAMILY with Venessa Kirby and Helen Mirren… So we're now up to 5 perfect people to cast in a movie. Sprinkle in Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Hart, Rob Delaney, Cliff Curtis, Eiza González. I mean, you had us at David Leitch. But the cast of this thing is everyone we want to hang out with for two hours. So… That means it's time for a new Great Bad Movies episode. Greg and Joe discuss how their perception of this movie has changed in the last 5 years, explain “Hobbs & Shaw Travel Logic,” and where Death Race would fit in the Fast & Furious Power Rankings. As always, they create drinking games for the film and answer the most important questions.

Before the panic over social media—but after the panic over “video nasties”—was the panic over violent videogames. Was Pac-Man causing little Johnny so much frustration that he'd take it out on his siblings with his fists? Was Doom secretly training little Timmy to be a school shooter?You don't hear so much about videogames and violence any more, but if you look at the studies (and the critiques of those studies) there's a lot to learn about where science can go wrong. In this episode of The Studies Show—in addition to, if we're honest, just spending quite a lot of time talking about videogames—Tom and Stuart ask whether there's any decent evidence that gaming can make people more aggressive.The Studies Show is brought to you by Works in Progress magazine—a journal of underrated ideas to make the world a better place. In the episode we discussed a recent essay on cruise ships, and the surprising (and continual) improvements over the years.

Politicians, government officials, business leaders, and public-health professionals were unprepared for the most devastating pandemic in a century. Many of the world's biggest drug and vaccine makers were slow to react or couldn't muster an effective response. It was up to a small group of unlikely and untested scientists and executives to save civilization. A French businessman dismissed by many as a fabulist. A Turkish immigrant with little virus experience. A quirky Midwesterner obsessed with insect cells. A Boston scientist employing questionable techniques. A British scientist despised by his peers. Far from the limelight, each had spent years developing innovative vaccine approaches. Their work was met with skepticism and scorn. By 2020, these individuals had little proof of progress. Yet they and their colleagues wanted to be the ones to stop the virus holding the world hostage. They scrambled to turn their life's work into life-saving vaccines in a matter of months, each gunning to make the big breakthrough—and to beat each other for the glory that a vaccine guaranteed. 1919 QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA QUARENTINE CAMP
