We suck at tributes, but we tried multiple times to honor the many celebrities who have died in the last 24 hours. Dolly Parton's idol growing up was the town tramp, grew up so poor her dad had to pay the doctor in cornmeal when she was born, and she once said 'I'm comfortable in my own skin no matter how far I've stretched it." Now that's a woman! RIP to the best to ever do it. Later in the show we found out that Tim Curry died at 80 years old, which makes it one of the worst days ever for the gays. Who's next, Ru Paul!? Ally has a 'Hall Pass' this weekend to sleep with any celebrity on the A-C list, which prompted Klein to challenge listeners to present us with the biggest celebrity they know. Now Ally could be sleeping with Patton Oswalt, The Black Power Ranger, or Dewey's stunt double from Malcolm in the Middle. Her wife was on the line approving/nixing every pitch. We also went deeper into Jake's love life (gross), and discovered Jake has already asked the girl he's dating to be his girlfriend. We explicitly told him NOT to do this, but of course he didn't listen and the interaction was awkward to say the least (she didn't say yes.)
The August 23, 1976 issue of Sports Illustrated — titled "The Buccaneers Come Aboard" — put Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Steve Spurrier on the cover, marking the very first Sports Illustrated appearance for the fledgling expansion franchise. The cover photo, shot by Heinz Kluetmeier, captured Spurrier in action during a preseason game against the Green Bay Packers in Milwaukee. By that point, Spurrier — the 1966 Heisman Trophy winner who'd spent nearly a decade with the San Francisco 49ers — was in his lone season as an NFL player with Tampa Bay, part of Coach John McKay's roster for the winless inaugural 1976 campaign, before Spurrier's playing career wound down and his far more decorated coaching career began. Dewey Selmon was part of that historic inaugural roster alongside Spurrier, joining the expansion franchise as one of its foundational defensive pieces after a standout career at Oklahoma, where he and younger brother Lee Roy anchored back-to-back national championship defenses in 1974 and 1975. While Lee Roy became the Buccaneers' most iconic and decorated player, earning Hall of Fame induction, Dewey carved out his own respected role as a steady, physical presence on the defensive line during those brutal early expansion years, when the winless 1976 Bucs were still searching for any semblance of cohesion under head coach John McKay. Selmon's Tampa Bay tenure placed him squarely within one of the more unusual chapters in NFL history — a team that went 0-14 in its debut season but whose young core, including both Selmon brothers, helped build the foundation for the franchise's eventual playoff breakthrough just a few years later. Dewey joins Past Our Prime to reflect on a career and life shaped by both triumph and hardship, starting with Lee Roy, the No. 1 overall pick who became the face of the franchise. Dewey speaks candidly about what those brutal early losing seasons taught him about resilience and self-knowledge, crediting his eventual Ph.D. in philosophy with giving him the intellectual and emotional framework to endure not just the team's first 26 losses, but the far more devastating loss of Lee Roy himself years later. He reflects on John McKay as exactly the right leader for that moment in franchise history, someone whose steady, wry perspective helped a struggling expansion team survive its darkest days, and he shares warm memories of Steve Spurrier, praising him as both a tremendous teammate and an even better person during those formative Tampa Bay years. All of that and more when the great Dewey Selmon goes Past Our Prime. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Do you listen to your bees? Beekeepers rely heavily on sight when inspecting a colony, along with touch and even smell. But in this installment of Bee Science with Dr. Dewey Caron, Dewey asks us to consider another source of information—the remarkable world of sound and vibration produced by honey bees. Honey bees live in an acoustic world that extends well beyond the familiar buzz we hear around a colony. Dewey explores how bees produce sound through their flight muscles and how they perceive airborne vibrations through their antennae and substrate-borne vibrations through their legs. He also explains why a queenless colony can sound noticeably different from a queenright colony and how experienced beekeepers can sometimes recognize changes within a colony simply by listening. Dewey then returns to the waggle dance, exploring research showing that sound and vibration are important components of honey bee communication. Recruits aren't simply following a dancer—they are receiving vibroacoustic information that helps communicate the distance to a food source. The science gets even more fascinating as Dewey examines stop signals, predator warnings, learning among young dancers, and acoustic communication in other honey bee species. Finally, Dewey traces the history of using colony sounds to understand bee behavior, from Eddie Woods' pioneering Apidictor in the 1950s to today's digital sensors, sophisticated microphones, and machine-learning systems designed to interpret what's happening inside a colony without unnecessarily opening the hive. The next time you're working your bees, don't just look. Listen. Your colony may be telling you more than you realize. This is Part One of Dewey's exploration of sound in honey bees. In Part Two, he'll return to some of the specialized sounds associated with swarming and communication.

Ask a question hereNatalie Hood continues her conversation with Dewey Case of the Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code, separating cold-plunge science from wellness-industry hype.Cold plunges may be popular, but cold water changes chemical reaction rates, sanitizer performance, testing accuracy, and the body's physiological response. Being young, athletic, or highly experienced around water does not make anyone immune to blood-sugar crashes, loss of consciousness, drowning, or other emergencies.Natalie and Dewey discuss why cold-water samples should be allowed to warm before testing, why commercial plunges should strongly consider supplemental treatment such as UV, ozone, or advanced oxidation, and why a quick pre-entry rinse can remove a surprising amount of contamination before it enters a very small body of water.They also address the biggest myth of all: because someone only spends a few minutes in a cold plunge, the risk must be low. The exposure may be short, but the risks are not necessarily smaller—they are simply different.Topics discussed include:Why even healthy, conditioned athletes can experience emergenciesThe dangers of using a cold plunge, pool, or spa aloneHow cold temperatures affect water-testing reactionsWhy cold samples should be capped and warmed before testingReduced sanitizer reaction rates in cold waterWhy small water volume and heavy bather loads create greater riskThe value of UV, ozone, and advanced oxidationSweat, ammonia, urea, dirt, and everything else bathers drag into the waterWhy pre-entry showers matterHow a simple rinse can substantially reduce contaminantsWhy short exposure does not automatically mean low riskThe importance of supervision, maintenance, testing, and operator diligenceThe takeaway is simple: be diligent. Know what the water is doing, test it regularly, maintain the vessel properly, and never assume that experience or physical fitness makes someone bulletproof.Download the Cold Water Venue Guidance from the Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code.Natalie also shares an update on her Tennessee Triple Crown Open Water Swim Challenge.

Denise Huber was abducted in the early morning hours of June 3rd, 1991, after her car broke down on the side of the freeway. Denise's disappearance was one of the most sensational cases in Orange County, California. Three years later, her body was found under shocking circumstances. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the disappearance and murder of Denise Huber. Denise's case was featured on America's Most Wanted and Inside Edition, but the case went cold. On July 13th, 1994, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office responded to a call about a possible stolen truck parked outside 37-year-old John Famalaro's home in Dewey, Arizona. This call began the investigation into Famalaro that ultimately led to him being charged with Denise's murder.

Want an AI content engine that publishes at a pace your domain can actually carry? Go to https://www.8figureagency.co/get-aiagency-ops for a free AI consultation.Any agency can do SEO. Any agency can also torch its domain in six weeks doing it wrong.A few weeks back I had someone on this show who was publishing 20 AI-written blog posts a day. Cameron LiButti — founder of BidView Marketing, 13 people, ~70 clients, close to 200 locations across medical, legal, professional services, and large home services — told me exactly what would happen. Google de-indexed the site inside six weeks.So I brought Cam on to answer the question I actually have as a founder learning this myself: how do you use AI for SEO aggressively without setting off Google's alarm bells?We get concrete fast. Cam explains crawl budget — how much compute Google decides your site is worth, and why a site crawled every three to six weeks publishing 20 posts a day is a flare in the sky. He covers the audience question most agencies skip: his medical practices serving 65+ patients get under 5% of leads from AI search, while his tax attorney client gets 40–50%. Same firm, same tactics, completely different priority.Then the part you can build on this week. Google's non-commodity content standard, and the two-part article structure that satisfies it: the first half answers the questions traditional SEO and AI both want answered, the second half is a real client situation — the problem, what you did, the outcome. That's the point of view Google can't get from a commodity blog.Cam gives the exact ramp: start at three posts a week, submit each one in Search Console, and check whether it's still indexed two weeks later — not 48 hours later. Still indexed at week three? Go to four. Then five. You earn 14 a week; you don't switch it on. And if pages drop out of the index, that's your signal to stop and diagnose before you scale the problem.We close on off-site: niche directories like G2 and Clutch, local citations off a Google Business Profile, press releases as safe volume, newsjacking for the links that actually move, and the two sources AI models cite most — YouTube and Reddit.If you're an agency owner planning to point AI at your own SEO this quarter, listen before you publish anything.CHAPTERS00:00 — He got de-indexed.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to DMR! Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has officially stormed global box offices, pulling in a massive $912 million approx. worldwide and rapidly tracking straight toward the coveted $1 billion mark. Driven by Nolan's trademark practical scale and an A-list ensemble led by Matt Damon as Odysseus, alongside Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, and Anne Hathaway, this adaptation breathes gritty, high-stakes life into Homer's ancient text. The film naturally invites heavy comparisons to past sword-and-sandal historical epics, most notably Wolfgang Petersen's Troy (2004) and Zack Snyder's 300 (2007). While Troy leaned into gritty historical realism and 300 traded in hyper-stylized graphic novel aesthetics, Nolan successfully bridges the gap between the two. He marries the massive, grounded military scale of 2000s historical dramas with a dark, myth-heavy fantasy layer, pushing the boundaries of what a modern blockbuster epic can achieve; with scenes like the Cyclops cave, to the immersive giant whirlpool, Nolan takes us on an epic journey! Ultimately, The Odyssey stands out by refusing to shy away from the supernatural elements of the original myth while maintaining the hard-hitting gravity expected of a Nolan production. Whether it's destined to outlast the legacy of films like Troy and 300 in the cultural zeitgeist is still up for debate, but its jaw-dropping technical execution and box office dominance make it an essential cinematic event. Dewey discusses the pros and cons of the film and where he feels it fits within the Nolan cinematic universe - Is this Nolan's best?

Send us Fan MailCold plunges and ice baths are appearing everywhere—from fitness centers and recovery facilities to wellness clinics, athletic programs, and luxury spas. But colder water does not automatically mean cleaner or safer water.In this episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, Natalie Hood is joined by Dewey Case, Technical Director for the Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code and Aquatics Coordinator for Williamson County Parks and Recreation in Tennessee.Dewey helped assemble the experts behind the new CMAHC Cold Water Venue Guidance. Together, he and Natalie separate cold-plunge facts from social-media fiction and explain why these increasingly popular venues require far more attention than a tub, a garden hose, and several bags of ice.They discuss why bacteria can survive in cold water, how lower temperatures can slow sanitizer performance, and why even a single user introduces sweat, body oils, cosmetics, urea, and microorganisms into the water. They also examine the much greater contamination burden created when a commercial system serves dozens—or potentially hundreds—of users each week.The conversation covers the risks associated with poorly maintained systems, including biofilm, Pseudomonas, swimmer's ear, and the possibility of transferring gastrointestinal pathogens. They also explain why dunking your head into questionable cold-plunge water may be a particularly bad idea.In This EpisodeWhy cold water does not sanitize itselfThe truth about bacteria and pathogens in cold plungesWhy “I'm the only person using it” does not eliminate water-quality concernsWhat sweat, cosmetics, clothing, and body oils add to the waterWhy users should shower before enteringThe risks of head submersion in poorly maintained waterHow biofilm and Pseudomonas can develop inside plumbing and on surfacesWhy commercial cold plunges are not simply oversized bathtubsHow high bather loads change filtration, sanitation, and maintenance demandsWhy cold-water chemistry can be more challenging than spa chemistryHow low temperatures affect chemical dissolution and disinfectionThe purpose of the new CMAHC Cold Water Venue GuidanceWhy proper operation, cleaning, and maintenance make cold-water immersion saferAs Dewey explains, a home cold plunge used by one person and a recirculating commercial venue serving hundreds of bathers are not the same thing. When the bather load changes, the operational practices must change with it.This episode is essential listening for pool professionals, aquatic operators, health officials, inspectors, facility managers, designers, builders, fitness-center owners, and anyone responsible for operating a commercial cold-water venue.She Swims So They CanNatalie is preparing to swim more than 21 miles across three open-water swimming marathons as part of the Tennessee Triple Crown Open Water Swim Challenge.

For nearly two decades, John Sabine was simply gone.His wife, Leigh, had spent years telling elaborate stories about their lives, convincing friends and family that John had left and started over somewhere else. She was a gifted storyteller whose lies became more outrageous with time, and few people questioned them. But when Leigh died of cancer in 2015, those stories began to unravel.After two friends made a horrifying discovery in the garden of the couple's former home in Beddau, Wales, investigators were confronted by a body wrapped in plastic. After 18 years the remains of John Sabine, had been found. As they worked to find out what happened, police revealed years of manipulation, compulsive deception, and the couple's infamous decision to abandon their five young children before John's disappearance. Today, we'll trace the lies that concealed a murder for nearly two decades, examine the evidence that finally exposed the truth behind one woman's carefully constructed fiction.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comAroesti, R.

A Navy veteran, business consultant, fraternity brother (ΩΨΦ), and now the owner reviving his family’s historic Texas barbecue legacy. The conversation dives deeply into Fitzpatrick’s upbringing, his father’s groundbreaking barbecue business in 1950s Texas, his educational and military journey, his corporate career, and his decision to launch Dewey’s Barbecue Market in Skokie, Illinois—honoring his father’s original recipes and values. The interview blends entrepreneurship, legacy, cultural history, and personal transformation, while highlighting the courage of Fitzpatrick’s father and the humility and faith-driven foundation of his family. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire entrepreneurship and legacy-building Fitzpatrick’s story showcases how family heritage and values can shape a business vision across generations. 2. Highlight resilience, faith, and leadership His upbringing in a household rooted in Christian humility, strong expectations, and boundary-breaking courage provides a blueprint for character-driven success. 3. Educate listeners on transitioning careers Fitzpatrick exemplifies pivoting from engineering and corporate consulting to pursuing passion-driven entrepreneurship. 4. Promote Dewey’s Barbecue Market The interview introduces the Chicago-area community—especially the Skokie region—to his upcoming restaurant built on a 70-year-old Texas barbecue tradition. Key Takeaways 1. A powerful family legacy rooted in courage Fitzpatrick’s father, Dewey, opened a barbecue restaurant in 1951—before desegregation—and insisted that Blacks and whites could eat together. He enforced respect and safety in his establishment, even confronting racist patrons. 2. Education was non-negotiable in the Fitzpatrick household Robert is the youngest of seven siblings, all college graduates; five hold master’s degrees. He himself holds an MBA and an MS in Management Information Systems. 3. A bridge between technology and business Fitzpatrick spent decades in consulting with major firms (EDS, Dell, Arthur Andersen, KPMG) focusing on business process improvement. His dual MS/MBA made him a translator between tech and finance. 4. Military discipline shaped his personal and professional life Served in the U.S. Navy from 1986–1990, plus reserve duty (including deployment to Iraq). Balanced military service with graduate studies and advancing his corporate career. 5. A calling to revive his father’s barbecue His wife recognized his talent early, telling him for years he should be barbecuing. A shortage of good Texas barbecue in Virginia pushed him to recreate his father’s recipes. 6. Skokie, Illinois: the ideal launchpad After moving to the Great Lakes Naval Base area for a federal role, Fitzpatrick began scouting locations. Skokie offered: active support from city leadership grants an ideal building community enthusiasm 7. Dewey’s Barbecue Market offerings Meats: brisket, sausage, hot links, smoked boudin (monthly special) Sides: potato salad (egg/mayo base), pineapple vinegar coleslaw, fried okra, smoked pinto beans Desserts: apple cobbler, blueberry cobbler, sweet potato pie, possibly fried pies Bread: sliced “light bread” for dipping—traditional Texas style Experience: dine-in with 60s–80s “feel-good” music 8. A commitment to doing things the right way Fitzpatrick refuses to launch unless he can deliver “the best product on the planet.” Focuses on simplicity, authenticity, and quality. Notable Quotes About his father and legacy “He said anybody who wants to eat here can eat here.”(His father defying segregation laws in the 1950s.) “I can call an undertaker or an ambulance. Which one do you prefer?”(Dewey enforcing respect from a belligerent white customer.) “That was my barbecue.”(On being raised around his father’s legendary pit.)

Luke 10:39, John 11:32What kind of faith truly pleases God?Is faith simply believing, speaking positively, or making bold declarations? Or is there something deeper that causes God to take notice? In this life-changing message, we take a look at Hebrews 11:4 and uncover the faith of Abel, the first person in Scripture to be commended for faith. Discover why God accepted Abel's offering and what it means to have a faith that still speaks long after your life is over. In this sermon, you'll discover: What it means to have faith that pleases God; Why faith is more than positive thinking or optimistic speech; The biblical meaning of "hupostasis" (the substance and foundation of our hope); How to believe in God's already while living through the not yet; and How to continue doing what is right, even when no one notices, trusting that God sees every act of obedience. Abel's life reminds us that genuine faith produces righteous living. God testified about Abel's character, commended his offering, and ensured that his testimony continues to speak to every generation. The same God still honors faith that is rooted in obedience, integrity, and wholehearted worship. If you've ever wondered how to develop a faith that honors God, withstands life's uncertainties, and leaves a legacy, this message is for you.

The path of the Automotive Enthusiast is one that is full of fun and excitement, but there are many traps and challenges that await you along the road. Those of us that have been building, tracking, or racing cars for years will tell you that those traps and challenges are how you learn and that finding your way through these trials is as much a part of being an enthusiast as having a perfect trouble-free day at the track.There is an argument out there that the less you know about what could go wrong, or how challenging a task may be, the easier it is to get excited about it, and the more likely you are to jump in head first to the challenge.Ignorance is Bliss as they say…I was having a conversation with Dewey about some of the recent issues that we ran into with our Pikes Peak car, specifically about how a very simple and cheap part caused a somewhat significant issue on our run up the mountain this year, and how frustrating it can be to work through these problems. He said that there has to be something like the Dunning-Kruger Effect that applies to Race Cars that related to what we were working through now, and which is something that most all of us who have frequently tracked our cars, or worked on or around a race team have run into.It was immediately clear that this was a broader conversation that we needed to have, and we decided to bring in Tony from Turn in Concepts to help us work through all of this, and hopefully gain a clearer perspective on why we push through all of this.I think that there is likely something in this conversation for anyone from a true novice that is just starting to think of taking their car to the track for the first time, through to someone like us that has been working around race cars for a while now, with full knowledge of what it takes to properly prep a car, and all that could go wrong when you are pushing a car at speed.I hope that you enjoy the conversation and Stay Tuned!
How can a honey bee with a brain smaller than a sesame seed communicate the exact location of food to thousands of nestmates? In this episode of Bee Science with Dewey, Dr. Dewey Caron explores one of the most remarkable discoveries in honey bee biology—the dance language. Beginning with the evolutionary pressures that shaped honey bee communication, Dewey explains why efficient foraging became essential for colonies surviving long northern winters. He describes how scout bees locate profitable nectar, pollen, water, and even potential nest sites before returning to the colony to recruit other foragers through highly structured dances. Listeners will learn the differences between the round dance, sickle dance, and waggle dance, and how each communicates information about distance, direction, and resource quality. Dewey also examines the groundbreaking research of Nobel Prize-winning scientist Karl von Frisch, whose meticulous experiments first decoded the language of bee dancing and forever changed our understanding of insect behavior. Along the way, the discussion explores how honey bees use the sun's position, gravity, sound, odors, and even subtle physiological changes to coordinate colony-level decision making. Dewey also highlights how scientific understanding continues to evolve as new discoveries refine earlier interpretations of bee communication. Whether you're a beginning beekeeper or a lifelong student of honey bee biology, this episode provides an engaging look into one of nature's most sophisticated communication systems and reminds us just how extraordinary a honey bee colony truly is.

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of Generation Z and their unique financial habits with certified financial planner Jennifer Johnson from Three Magnolias Financial Advisors. As we explore the financial landscape for this younger generation, we uncover some surprising trends: while Gen Z is investing earlier than any previous generation, they also score the lowest on financial literacy.Join us as we discuss the implications of these findings, including their reliance on social media for financial advice and the potential risks associated with their investment choices. We examine the paradox of Gen Z's aggressive saving and investing habits alongside their lack of foundational financial knowledge. What does it mean for their future, and how can they better position themselves for success?Jennifer shares insights from a recent Morningstar article highlighting Gen Z's investment behaviors, from their interest in cryptocurrency to their participation in sports betting and prediction markets. We also consider the importance of seeking reliable financial guidance and the value of traditional investment strategies over speculative approaches.For more information, visit Three Magnolias Financial Advisors on the web or call 336-701-1600STORY FROM MORNINGSTAR WEALTH: https://www.morningstar.com/funds/gen-z-invests-earlier-than-any-generation-also-scores-lowest-financial-literacyThe Triad Podcast Network is proudly sponsored by The Ginther Group Real Estate, Dewey's Bakery, and Three Magnolias Financial Advisors.

We had a good time. We just wanted a little more.This week on Zero Dark Nerdy we're sitting down with our full review of Supergirl — the DCU's big summer blockbuster — and honestly it's a mixed bag with perhaps too many cooks in the kitchen? Milly Alcock is fantastic, Jason Momoa as Lobo is undeniable and the cast all around brings real energy to their roles, There's plenty of action-packed fun to keep you in your seat and you can feel the potential of where this DCU era could go...BUT we'd be doing you dirty if we didn't keep it real — the script and plot don't quite match the talent on screen, the pacing gets a little wobbly, and we are still grieving the Blondie-esque trailer soundtrack that never made it into the final film. It also feels like a movie with a few too many cooks in the kitchen, and that shows. Not a bad time at the theater by any means — just one we probably won't be revisiting at home.We dig into all of it, the highs, the frustrations, and what we're hoping the DCU takes away from this one going forward.New episodes every week.

This is one of those stories whose details are almost too surreal to believe, but they also provide a sharp insight into what can happen when a group of people is ostracized and treated like pariahs. In 1952, 34, Dale Jennings went into a public restroom and was propositioned by a vice cop. When Jennings showed no interest, the cop followed him home, barged his way inside, and attempted to seduce Jennings before finally just arresting him. Unbeknownst to the vice squad, Jennings was one of the founding members of the Mattachine Society, which later evolved into the Mattachine Foundation. The members banded together, raised money for Jennings' defense, and launched a campaign to end the practice of entrapment. Years Before Stonewall: The Dewey's Sit-In In 1965, activists staged a sit-in at a popular spot for queer folks, Dewey's in Philadelphia.

In this sixth installment of Bee Science with Dr. Dewey Caron, Dewey turns attention to one of the final major management tasks of the summer beekeeping season: removing honey supers and preparing honey for extraction and storage. Building on the previous discussion about timely supering, Dewey explains why proper honey super removal is every bit as important as adding supers at the right time. He emphasizes that beekeepers should only remove honey when they are fully prepared to process it, reminding listeners that bees know how to protect their honey stores far better than we do. Delays between harvest and extraction can lead to quality issues, robbing, fermentation concerns, and unnecessary management complications. Dewey reviews the concepts of over-supering and under-supering, discusses colony space management as nectar flows begin to decline, and explains the importance of monitoring whether bees have fully occupied newly added supers. He also addresses the role of queen excluders, baiting supers, and ensuring colonies are actively using available storage space. The episode provides a detailed overview of the primary methods used to remove bees from honey supers, including bee escape boards, fume boards, bee blowers, and the traditional bounce-and-brush technique. Dewey explains the advantages and limitations of each approach and discusses situations where one method may be preferred over another. Additional topics include handling brood discovered in supers, preventing robbing behavior during harvest, managing partially capped honey, using refractometers to measure moisture content, and understanding the risks of storing unprocessed honey supers. Dewey concludes with practical recommendations to help beekeepers protect honey quality while preparing colonies for the transition toward fall management.

In this episode of the Third Eye Awakening podcast, I am so excited to have Joshua Baldridge on the show! Joshua has graciously agreed to share his personal Akashic Records Readings on the podcast and I am so excited to share it with you!Joshua is just another seeker on the path of more knowledge, experience, and love. While growing up in the LDS religion, Joshua was constantly curious about the deeper layers of reality that were unexplained by the paradigm of his youth. He discovered so much wisdom and light from sources outside of his church, such as the writings of Alice A. Bailey, J.J. Dewey, Laura Knight-Jadczyk, and podcasts such as Third Eye Awakening and This Jungian Life. These teachers, combined with a crucible of mental health and addiction stemming from the collision of his sexuality with his religious believes, have become pieces of the foundation he is still trying to build today when it comes to understanding the world and being able to move in within it in a way that radiates light and truth—a foundation he will likely build for this and many lifetimes. He is currently studying neuroscience at Boise State University, and has assisted in and presented work on spaceflight's effect on neuronal cells and systems as well as Parkinson's disease research. While not having any current offerings commercially, Joshua hopes to pursue a career in healthcare, likely counseling, where he can one day help people that also balance the karma of religion, addiction, sexuality, and more. Joshua is currently well-versed in the tarot, depth psychology, and he is learning astrology. He hopes to get trained in reiki sometime in the next year. He will incorporate these modalities someday into a form that allows him to extend a hand of compassion and courage to other pilgrims on this long, winding, wild path that is life.In this episode, Josh and I chat about:-Josh's psychic awakening and the internal pull to let things go-religious framework and karma from growing up in and letting go of the church-past lives in religious enforcement and distinctions between Jesus, Christ, and Christ Consciousness-paranoia, self-destruction, and identity shifts-self-forgiveness as instrumental in healing-learning to trust yourself, your body, and your intuition after years of repression and conditioning-leaning into play in the journey of personal growth… and so much more!CONNECT WITH JOSH@a.nomad.hereMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEKrystal SmithLINKS MENTIONEDStart Your Spiritual Biz RoadmapFollow me on Instagram

Episode 97 This is a story about Philadelphia's gay history, beginning with the first protest at Dewey’s Restaurant in the 1960s, our Reminder events and history makers who've made an incredible difference in our city's LGBTQIA community. Historically, Philly pride was held in an area of the city called the Gayborhood. Named as such in October 1995 during the city's first Outfest in honor of national coming out day. David Warner of the Philadelphia City Paper changed the lyrics to Mr. Roger's famous song and said It's a beautiful day in the gayborhood. In 2007, the city installed 36 rainbow street signs between 11th and Broad Street, and Walnut and Pine Streets to recognize the gay history in our city. This year, the event was moved to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, yet many chose to celebrate as they always have – in the Gayborhood. What they didn’t expect was an overwhelming police presence as they celebrated Philly Pride 2026.
