In this episode of Behind the Prop, Bobby Doss and Wally Mulhern are joined by United Flight Systems Vice President Jay Robinson to break down one of the most debated topics in flight training: Part 61 vs. Part 141. If you've spent any time researching flight schools, you've likely heard strong opinions—141 is faster, cheaper, more structured… or maybe rigid and bureaucratic. So what's actually true? The answer: it depends on the student, not just the regulation. This episode dives deep into the biggest misconceptions surrounding both training paths. The team explains that while Part 141 offers structure and FAA oversight, that structure doesn't automatically mean better outcomes. Likewise, Part 61 isn't inherently more flexible, faster, or cheaper. What really drives success is the quality of the school, the instructors, and how well the program supports each individual student. They also tackle common myths like: Is Part 141 actually faster—or just marketed that way? Are stage checks something to fear? Does failing a stage check hurt your future career? Can you switch between Part 61 and 141 without losing progress? Along the way, Wally brings an airline pilot's perspective, reinforcing that hiring departments don't care whether you trained under Part 61 or 141—they care about your skills, consistency, and professionalism. Whether you're just getting started or evaluating your next rating, this episode will help you cut through the noise and make a smarter, more confident training decision. Bottom line: It's not about the regulation—it's about the people and the process behind your training.

In this episode I look at Messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn and some of his teaching methods. I explain how he uses story telling and mythology similar to rabbinic Judaism's aggadic midrashim to make his false prophetic claims as well as borrowing some of the methods of the Kabbalistic teachers. I also briefly touch on some of the names in mainstream Christian and Alt. Christian media who promote him and those false non-biblical teachings and touch on the nephilim grifters in Alt. Christian media to boot!  Cheers and Blessing!Support Oddman https://www.patreon.com/theoddmanoutBuy Me A Coffee!https://buymeacoffee.com/theoddmanoutVenmo Tips -@theoddmanoutCash App Tips - https://cash.app/$theoddmanoutT-shirts, Mugs and Stickers  The Odd Man Out Merch Store At Bonfire https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-odd-man-out/TeeSpring https://theoddmanout.creator-spring.com/All Links https://linktr.ee/_theoddmanoutOddman Rumble https://rumble.com/user/TheOddManOutThe Book- Debunking Jonathan CahnBy: Advanced Apologetics Researchhttps://www.amazon.com/Debunking-Jonathan-Cahn-Comprehensive-Harbingers-ebook/dp/B0DP5FST9Bhttps://www.thriftbooks.com/w/debunking-jonathan-cahn--3-a-comprehensive-critique-of-the-harbingers-i--ii/54260159/#edition=72153842&idiq=74047331Social Media:_theoddmanout on X, and InstagramFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/oddman.out.181923https://www.facebook.com/theoddcastfttheoddmanoutIntro Song Diabolitical Man By Odd Man Out.   Listen or Download Here: We Are The Conspiracy Songs | ReverbNation http://reverbnation.com/wearetheconspiracyA special Thank You to my supporters who contributed to this episode.

Don't be that person who becomes a hoarder in retirement! You know who you are and it's a big concern for those that are champs at saving but reluctant to spend. It almost seems like a good problem to have... but not really! Retirement planners Rachel Camp, CFP® and Jesse Cramer join the show for a tackle the topic and what's known as the "consumption gap"-- the mismatch between what retirees could safely spend and what they actually spend.

In this episode we cover:  ✅ The 4% rule's real origin story (it was built to avoid failure, not to optimize joy) ✅ The very human tendency to over solve for the worst-case market and under solve for lost health, time, and relationships  ✅ Strategies Rachael and Jesse use with their clients to help them spend and not hoard their money in retirement ✅ Why talking through childhood money stories is often more powerful than another spreadsheet. ✅ Debunking the viral "retire later, die sooner" meme and zoom out to what actually affects longevity ✅ A challenge tailor-made for late starters: once the math says you've won, stop buy back your time, and don't die with the biggest net worth of your life. ====================   DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS   MONARCH MONEY The modern way to manage money! Monarch will change the way you organize your financial life.

Are you a tea drinker? We do! It offers many health benefits and is a great way to increase your water intake and hydration during perimenopause and menopause.In this interview, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Cindi Bigelow, the third-generation President and CEO of Bigelow Tea, the family-owned American tea company founded in 1945. She helped transform the brand from a traditional grocery-store staple into a modern wellness-focused tea company, expanding into specialty blends, green teas, and functional teas while keeping the business privately held and family-run. Topics:Bigelow & Integrity: The company is a third-generation, family- and women-owned business founded by Cindi Bigelow's grandmother in 1945 with the iconic Constant Comment tea. Its focus has always been on mission and quality, not just profit.Quality: Bigelow tests its teas for nearly 500 pesticides to ensure the final product is clean. Additionally, every tea bag undergoes 26 checks before reaching the store shelf.Debunking the Plastic Tea Bag Scare: The most common type of tea bag used in the U.S., such as Bigelow's double-chamber, non-heat-sealed bag, contains no plastic; it's made from wood pulp and abaca. The misinformation circulating often shows the wrong kind of tea bags.Foil is the Secret to Freshness: Bigelow invented the individual foil pouch because it is the only way to protect the volatile oils in tea, which make the tea healthy and flavorful, from degrading for up to three years.Loose Tea is a Trade-Off: While loose tea provides a "beautiful experience," it oxidizes and degrades more quickly when exposed to air, light, and moisture.Hydration is Critical for Menopause: For women in perimenopause and menopause, staying well-hydrated is essential for maintaining energy, supporting brain and skin health, reducing inflammation, and aiding digestion.Making Water Easier to Drink: Bigelow's Botanicals Cold Water Infusion line was created because many people, including the CEO herself, don't enjoy drinking plain water; these bags gently infuse cold water with natural flavors, making hydration simple.Longevity: The Bigelow family members are avid tea drinkers, sometimes enjoying up to 10 cups a day, and have enjoyed long lives; her mother is 97, and her grandfather lived to 103. Tea could be part of that longevity.Explore a wide variety of Green, Black, and Herbal Teas, as well as Bigelow's Botanical Infusions. https://bit.ly/4kFzfyJ Send a text ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagine

What if intuition isn't something you think — but something you feel? In this episode, Doug Bytes sits down with embodiment teacher and author Philip Shepherd, author of Radical Wholeness, Deep Witness, and co-author of Deep Fitness, to explore how modern culture disconnects men from their bodies — and how reclaiming embodied awareness restores intuition, clarity, and grounded strength. Philip shares the story of his teenage bicycle journey across Europe, the Middle East, India, and Japan — a self-initiated rite of passage that shaped his understanding of culture, identity, and embodied intelligence. We explore: ·         Why intuition lives in the body, not the thinking mind ·         The intelligence of the pelvic floor and "pelvic bowl" ·         How cultural conditioning pulls us out of our center ·         A simple pelvic floor breathing practice ·         The concept of embodied presence ·         Energy integration and healing "stuck" emotion ·         The science of myokines and muscle as metabolic medicine ·         Why strength training (not cardio) may be foundational for longevity ·         Training to momentary muscular failure and deep fitness principles ·         Breath, panic, and remaining calm under pressure This conversation bridges somatics, men's personal development, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and strength science — offering practical tools for men who want to develop intuition, resilience, and grounded leadership. If you're interested in embodiment, radical wholeness, conscious masculinity, breathwork, metabolic health, or strength training for longevity — this episode delivers both philosophy and practical insight.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data center growth is reshaping not only electricity markets, but water demand across the value chain. In this episode, podcast host Reese Tisdale sits down with Research Director Amber Walsh to discuss the broader water footprint of data centers—both onsite and offsite—and why the conversation is shifting beyond cooling towers to the power generation fleet. While new AI cooling systems are becoming more efficient and, in some cases, shrinking onsite water intensity, the surge in electricity demand is driving a much larger indirect water footprint. From delayed coal retirements to new natural gas capacity and nuclear recommissioning, the power sector's role in supporting data center growth is raising important questions about long-term water exposure. Key questions addressed: Is the AI-driven data center boom redefining water risk—from municipal cooling systems to the power generation fleet? Are data centers triggering a structural reversal in industrial water demand? Which fuel pathway—natural gas, nuclear, or extended coal—creates the most material water exposure over the next decade? Are we concentrating data center expansion in regions where power is affordable but water is constrained—and what does that mean long term? Where do market opportunities exist across the value chain? Do data centers use a lot of water?

This year's Winter Olympic Games are filled with Jewish athletes.They can be found in hockey goals, cross country slopes, bobsleds, and skating competitions.But, despite a robust representation in Milan and an even more significant representation in the Paris games of 2024, the stereotype that Jews are bad at sports has not fully vanished.The stereotype is a very old one, but it was probably made most popular by none other than Hitler himself. It has become such a popular delusion that even many Jewish writers and entertainers have adopted it.In order to understand how this stereotype began, and why it is so egregiously incorrect, I sat down with Writer and Radiologist Michael Meyerson.Michael was a tennis player in his younger years and began researching and writing about Jewish Athletes in his spare time as a way to debunk the stereotypeMichael's 300-page book, “Tragedy & Triumph” details the stories of countless jewish athletes who competed in the Olympic Games.Michael explores the constant struggle that Jews have had throughout history to be respected in athletic circles—and it turns out to be much bigger than just the infamous Hitler games.Notably, Michael's book covers several athletes whose stories have made it into major films such as Chariots of Fire and The Boys In The Boat. He even touches on Martin Reisman, the hustling table-tennis player whose life inspired last year's critically acclaimed Marty Supreme.Michael and I talked about his purpose in writing the book, the strange moment when gliding was considered an Olympic Sport, the reason many Jews are so good at fencing, and much more.Tragedy and Triumph: https://www.amazon.com/Tragedy-Triumph-Second-Olympics-Perspective/dp/0645343250

AJ Meyer, CEO of Pickle Robot, isn't betting on general-purpose humanoid robots. Instead, he's a believer in robots and Physical AI which solve specific, high-volume problems. AJ joins Sam and Asad to reveal how he recently secured a nine-figure enterprise contract and why "boring" logistics tasks are the gateway to mass adoption of robots. But with mass adoption's opportunities, so too are there new risks. AJ shares that while physical safety is an important consideration, the cybersecurity risk of a networked robot workforce is what needs the most attention right now.

And yet when things get intense, you shut down, go quiet, and disappear emotionally.In this episode of Love Shack Live, we unpack what avoidance really is (hint: it's not a character flaw) and why shutting down is often a nervous system protection strategy that once worked really well… but now costs you connection.You'll learn what's happening inside the avoidant partner, why the anxious partner panics when the conversation goes silent, and how this dynamic can trap both people in a loop of pressure, withdrawal, and resentment.Most importantly, we'll show you a different path: building emotional safety and emotional capacity in small, practical steps so you can come back to the table without spiraling or disappearing.Because shutting down isn't who you are.

In this episode, Alex Hutchinson rejoins Trail Runner Nation discuss why muscle is the real engine behind endurance, performance, and long-term health, especially as runners get older. The conversation explores how and why we lose muscle over time, why this decline matters for speed, resilience, and injury prevention, and the encouraging truth that much of it is reversible. Alex explains the critical role of strength training, the importance of intensity and progressive load, and how endurance athletes can balance running with the work needed to maintain power. The discussion also challenges common myths about aging, showing that performance losses are not inevitable but often the result of training gaps rather than biology alone. For aging athletes and lifelong runners, this episode offers a practical roadmap for staying strong, capable, and competitive for decades. This discussion began from Alex's review of Michael Joseph Gross' book, "Stronger: The Untold Story of Muscle in Our Lives" Key Topics: The evolving understanding of muscle as a core component of human health, not just aesthetics or performance. Historical perspectives on muscle research, from ancient Greece to misconceptions over the centuries. The modern shift towards heavy lifting among elite athletes and implications for older adults. The inspiring work of Maria Fiaturone Singh on elderly resistance training and outcomes in musculoskeletal health. Practical advice for incorporating strength training into daily life with minimal equipment. The psychological and physical joys of feeling the movement of heavy lifting with purpose. How resistance training enhances posture, independence, and injury prevention in aging. Personal journeys—from bodybuilding to running, and reintegration of strength work in midlife. Overcoming mental barriers to strength training: finding routines you enjoy and tracking progress. The importance of consistent, accessible strength habits like bodyweight exercises and small routines.

In this deep dive, we bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science to uncover the "Inflammation Code."  We discuss how childhood experiences shape our health journeys, the physiological impact of being out of sync with nature's clock, and the importance of advocating for root-cause medicine in a world dominated by quick-fix pharmaceuticals.  Dr. Shivani shares practical, daily Ayurvedic rituals, from tongue scraping to seasonal eating, that empower you to take control of your vitality and navigate the complex supplement industry with transparency and confidence. Key Takeaways & Revelations The Circadian Clock: Why aligning your meal timing and sleep rituals with your circadian rhythm is the foundation of metabolic health. Inflammation as a "Forest Fire": How to identify the silent signs of systemic inflammation and use natural anti-inflammatories like turmeric to prevent chronic disease.

Supplement Transparency: How to identify medical-grade supplements and avoid the fillers and misinformation common in big-box retail brands.

What's really inside the latest Epstein document release and what's being wildly misrepresented?In this live episode, Faust Checho breaks down the newest tranche of documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein, separating verified facts from exaggerated claims, recycled rumors, and outright misinformation spreading across social media.Faust walks through what the documents actually say, what they don't say, and why certain names and claims are being framed in misleading ways. This is a grounded, evidence-based discussion focused on document literacy, media manipulation, and accountability, not clickbait.Some claims circulating right now collapse under even minimal scrutiny. Others raise serious, unresolved questions that deserve deeper examination. Faust tackles both… live.#EpsteinFileswe'd love to hear from you

Jackson for a long-form conversation about Martin Luther King Jr. and why his legacy still provokes such strong emotional and political reactions. Chad is an independent filmmaker and researcher whose work returns to primary sources and overlooked voices, and that lens shapes everything we talk about here.He recently participated in an MLK debate that ran for hours, creating space for historical context instead of sound bites and patience instead of performative rebuttals. That debate opens the door into a much larger conversation about history, memory, and how certain narratives become culturally untouchable.We dig into how the Civil Rights Movement is taught, celebrated, and reinforced from an early age, often without room for deeper examination. Chad draws from archival research, period publications, and primary documents, showing how interpretation influences public memory just as much as the facts themselves.This episode is for listeners who value critical thinking and aren't afraid to sit with uncomfortable questions.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[08:52] What triggered Chad to investigate the MLK narrative[17:13] Challenging northern propaganda about slavery[27:40]  Life for black Americans prior to the Civil Rights Movement[44:45] King's upbringing: born into wealthy black elite family, Daddy King's social gospel, and rejecting Christ's divinity by age 12[01:03:13] Why both the FBI and communists wanted the civil rights movement [01:09:38] The aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement [01:17:03] The MLK docuseries structure[01:34:42] The century-long project to separate blacks from Western civilization[01:49:41] Why classism is just another victimization trap[02:08:55] How hip hop culture has negatively impacted the black community[02:22:40] Malcom X and the Civil Rights Movement[02:42:02] The notion that fascism is a reaction to hyper liberalismResources Mentioned:Hatred and Profits: Getting Under the Hood of the Ku Klux Klan by Fryer G.

Bryan also answers pointed questions about foreign-backed activism tied to Minneapolis protests, why the CIA cannot simply target an American billionaire operating from China, and how misinformation has warped the public's understanding of asylum, detentions, and so-called "illegal" versus "legal" migrants.

Autism has a long history of misinformation that continues to today. The Trump administration has perpetuated some of this misinformation in the last year. Among other things, officials have claimed certain groups of people don't get the condition and that taking Tylenol while pregnant causes autism to later develop in children. Today, NPR Science Correspondent Jon Hamilton sets the record straight with host Emily Kwong on what scientists do and don't know about autism. If you liked this episode, check out our episodes on an Autism researcher's take on Trump's claims about Tylenol and a Fragile X treatment that may be on the horizon.Interested in more science in the news?

Episode Summary: The Age of Victoria continues its 2026 “Famine & Revolution” series by stepping away from the political scandals of Lola Montez and into the microscopic world of a biological invader. In this episode, we begin our deep dive into the “Hungry Forties” by looking at the environmental and material foundations of the era. Using the “Longue Durée” framework of the Annales School, we explore the forces that dictate the fate of civilizations. We examine the “Malthusian Trap”—the point where surging urban populations outstripped the land's ability to feed them—and why the humble potato was both the savior and the Achilles’ heel of the 19th-century economy.

The “Biological Invader”: The science of Phytophthora infestans. How a fungus from the Americas managed to cross the Atlantic and “dissolve” the food supply of a continent. The Malthusian Trap: A demographic analysis of the early 19th century. We look at the “tipping point” where population growth finally collided with limited agricultural resources. Urbanisation & The Hinterland: How industrial mega-cities like London and Paris broke the traditional link between people and their food sources, creating a precarious global supply chain. The Chemistry of the Potato: Why the potato was the “perfect” industrial crop—producing more calories per acre than any grain—and why its monoculture became a death trap. The Global “Hungry Forties”: Debunking the myth that the famine was a localized event; tracing the “Pandemic of Rot” as it moved from the USA to Belgium, Prussia, Scotland, and Ireland.

Was Mary Tudor truly “Bloody Mary”? Has England's first reigning queen been misunderstood for centuries? Determined to restore Roman Catholicism, her reign became forever associated with the burning of Protestants. But was she really a religious tyrant, or a trailblazer trapped by Europe's violent politics?Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Professor Anna Whitelock to put the record straight on the remarkable reign of Mary I, five turbulent years which shaped the future of England in profound, and often misrepresented, ways.MORE:Mary I: What if She'd Lived?Listen on AppleListen on SpotifyThe Spanish King of EnglandListen on AppleListen on SpotifyPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

In this episode of Sheena Interrupted, we are breaking down the most common marriage myths people swear by. We cover the big ones couples argue about all the time, like: • “Good couples never fight” (spoiler: LOL) • “Never go to bed angry” and the pressure to finish every argument immediately • “If they loved you, they'd just know what you need”  • Forgiveness = forgetting (and whether you can forgive without erasing the lesson) • A strong marriage has no resentment (ideal vs. human reality) • “Happy wife, happy life” — myth, truth, or… a complicated family ripple effect?We also discuss love languages, emotional “defaults,” and why communication isn't just talking more—it's learning how your partner actually hears you. Basically: relationship advice, but with chaos, roasting, and at least one imaginary whiteboard.If you're into relationships, marriage advice, couples communication, conflict resolution, emotional connection, and honest conversations about what actually works in long-term love, this one's for you.#marriage #relationship #podcast This week's sponsor: barefaced.com and use code SHEENA for 15% off

On January 3, 2026, the United States invaded Venezuela and kidnapped president Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. It was the first U.S. invasion of a Latin American country since the 1989 invasion of Panama. The United States fired missiles and bombs that blew out windows and hit residential apartment blocks. Helicopters. Explosions. Firebombs. They cut electricity. They destroyed a medical supplies warehouse. Testimonies say helicopters fired on innocent people. They traumatized thousands, if not, millions of Venezuelans.The aftermath for everyday Venezuelans has been completely ignored. The voices of those on the ground — the voices of the victims — have been largely silenced in the international press and then forgotten as the news cycle hurtles on and our attention shifts elsewhere — to Greenland, Minneapolis, Iran, Gaza, or whatever Trump happens to be blustering about on social media.So today, we're heading to Caracas to speak to people who experienced the invasion first hand, whether sheltered in place in their homes or running for their lives in the streets of their city. We'll hear their stories of Trump's “impressive” attack, their messages for the U.S., and how they've promised to resist the ongoing attack on their sovereignty.Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present. Season 2 responds in real time to the Trump administration's onslaught on Latin America.This podcast is produced in partnership between The Real News Network and NACLA.Theme music by Michael Fox's band, Monte Perdido. Monte Perdido's 2024 album Ofrenda is available on Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, YouTube or wherever you listen to music. Other music from Blue Dot Sessions. All of the ambient sound of the invasion in this episode was taken from cell phone videos filmed and posted on social media or shared over WhatsApp on January 3rd, during the pre-dawn U.S. invasion.Script editing by Heather Gies.Hosted, written, produced, mixed and edited by Latin America-based journalist Michael Fox.Translator and freelance journalist Coromoto Jaraba Pineda helped with reporting for this episode. You can find her on Facebook and Instagram.Many thanks to Ricardo Vaz and Jessica dos Santos.Resources: Today's episode features filmmaker Angel Palacios.

Are you currently debating whether to "Buy Term and Invest the Difference" or build a private banking system with Whole Life?In this episode, David Befort and Paul Fugere put the most popular financial advice—including Dave Ramsey's top talking points—through the IBC Stress Test. If you've been told that Whole Life is a "scam" or that you should only ever buy Term, you are likely missing the most critical piece of the puzzle: The Difference Between Renting and Owning.Why you need to listen to this episode: Most people are taught to treat insurance as a "sunk cost" or a necessary evil. But what if your premium wasn't a cost, but a transfer of assets? We dive deep into why "renting" your protection through Term insurance often leads to a dead end, with ~98% of policies never actually paying out a death benefit.In this episode, we break down:The "Renting" Trap: Why Term insurance is designed to expire just when you need it most, and why "investing the difference" often fails in the real world.The Ernst & Young Reality Check: We discuss the landmark study that shows "Buy Term and Invest the Difference" (BTID) consistently finishes dead last when it comes to retirement spending and legacy.The "Both/And" Strategy: How to use Convertible Term as a bridge to a high-performance IBC policy, allowing you to stop the "leakage" of your wealth and start the process of uninterrupted compounding.Debunking the "Company Keeps Your Cash" Myth: We clarify exactly how your cash value and death benefit work together so you can stop being afraid of the "living benefits" of your policy.Whether you are a "Dave Ramsey person" looking for a second opinion or an investor searching for a way to maximize your Human Life Value, this episode will show you how to stop wasting money on temporary fixes and start building a permanent financial foundation.Stop being a tenant in your own financial life. It's time to become the landlord.About your hosts: https://www.thewealthwarehousepodcast...David Befort and Paul Fugere are the hosts of the Wealth Warehouse Podcast.

The podcast “Conspirituality” digs into the conspiracy theories arising at the intersection of health, wellness and spirituality. As reported in Willamette Week, the show’s three co-hosts combine their expertise in health journalism, psychology and cult research to "discuss the stories, cognitive dissonances, and cultic dynamics tearing through the yoga, wellness, and new spirituality worlds.”  Portlander Derek Beres is one of the co-hosts of “Conspirituality.” He joins us to talk about analyzing and debunking pseudoscience in a time of unprecedented health misinformation.

Nashville woke up to the strangest Christmas soundtrack imaginable in 2020: an RV parked on 2nd Avenue, a calm recorded warning to evacuate… and “Downtown” playing like a twisted holiday playlist no one asked for. We are going to walk through the accepted timeline of the Christmas Day bombing, what investigators say happened, and what the FBI concluded about the man behind it.Then we follow the story into the weird side streets, where reality starts to bend. Reincarnation loops. “High energy events.” Alleged reptilian watchers in the woods. A camping trip that turned into a front-row seat to paranoia, strange gear, and a belief that something evil was hiding in plain sight.We'll separate confirmed facts from internet fog, explore what fringe and UFO circles claim it all really meant, and bring it home with the uncomfortable truth: sometimes the most unsettling part isn't the conspiracy… it's how fast a mind can build one when everything else is falling apart.
