"Under the watchful eyes of Bob's Stratos and Apollo..."How do you go from being dubbed "the merchant of death" to the patron saint of human achievement? In this episode of Elton Reads A Book A Week, I explore the paradoxical life of Alfred Nobel—the man who invented dynamite and then panic-bought his way into history's good graces with a massive pile of prize money.We're diving deep into the explosive history of the Nobel Prize, from the accidental obituary that kickstarted the whole thing to the institutional dramas, bizarre omissions, and downright weird rules that keep the selection committees busy. Whether it's why there's no Nobel for math, the controversy over the Economics prize, or the fact that some laureates have actually been dead when they won, we're unpacking it all.Join me as we dissect the Nobel legacy: a Victorian-era PR masterclass that managed to turn a career in arms dealing into the world's most prestigious honor.

Are we alone? In this short-isode, Elton traces the bizarre, hilarious, and occasionally unhinged history of humanity's quest for alien communication. From Frank Drake's Equation in 1961, a mathematical roadmap for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), to the times before radio, when our ideas were pure fantasy: he dives into the wild ideas and scams. Like, the 19th-century scheme to burn massive geometric messages onto the surface of Mars using a gargantuan, laser-focused mirror. For real.From those ambitious, largely insane, early visual signals to the iconic messages we've strapped to spaceships—we've spent centuries leaving a very expensive voicemail for an unknown recipient.We also explore the cosmic artifacts and phenomena that made us stop and whisper, "Is someone calling us?" Learn the true story behind the Black Knight Satellite (spoiler: it's an escaped blanket), the enduring mystery of the Wow! Signal, and the strange case of 'Oumuamua, the cigar-shaped interstellar visitor.Finally, we confront the ultimate cosmic buzzkill: the Fermi Paradox. If the galaxy should be crowded, "Where is everybody?" We discuss the terrifying ethical debate over intentional messaging (METI) and the chilling logic of the Dark Forest Theory. Tune in to find out why, even in crushing silence, we simply cannot stop shouting "Hello?" into the dark.GET THE BOOK: From AmazonFrom an Indie Book SellerBECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:Elton Reads A Book A Week PatreonBuy Me A Coffee!SOCIAL MEDIA!

We enter the home stretch of the pre-Gunn DCU with Shazam: Fury of the Gods, a confused and inert mess of glop, nonsense and awful dialogue anchored by the unbearable anti-charisma of future Jesuslop washup Zachary Levi. Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu are wasted. Rachel Zegler needs a new agent; Diedrich Bader gets killed and nobody seems to notice; and the barely-explored villain scheme is stolen, inexplicably, from The Simpsons Movie.

Get ready to dive back into the neon-soaked streets of L.A. and beyond! In this episode of Elton Reads A Book A Week, Elton takes on the ambitious crime epic Heat 2—the novel that somehow manages to be both a prequel and a sequel to Michael Mann's legendary 1995 film.Ever wondered what made Neil McCauley so cold or how Vincent Hanna became a "hyper-caffeinated" detective with a failing personal life? This episode breaks down the twelve-year arc that takes these iconic characters from the shadows of Chicago to the heat of Paraguay and Mexico. Elton also digs into the fascinating true story that inspired the original film, involving a real-life high-stakes meeting in a Chicago deli between a meticulous detective and a professional thief who lived by a 30-second rule.Expect plenty of Elton's signature "cinephile" rants, some very questionable theories about whether Chicago actually exists, and a recurring battle with his producer, [BLEEP], over whether the show needs more machine-gun sound effects. It's a deep dive into world-traveling heists, burning wreckage, and the "urban opera" of Michael Mann's universe.Listen in for:The Real Heat: The gritty 1960s true crime origins of the McCauley/Hanna rivalry.A Master at Work: A look at director Michael Mann's journey from driving cabs to "engineering" cinematic masterpieces.Behind the Pages: How a film director and a thriller novelist teamed up to expand a world millions already loved.Just... maybe don't take any actual life advice from the heist parts.GET THE BOOK: From AmazonFrom an Indie Book SellerBECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:Elton Reads A Book A Week PatreonTips!SOCIAL MEDIA!

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything "right" for your sleep, yet you're still waking up exhausted? We spend a third of our lives unconscious, but most of what we think we know about those hours is a mix of old wives' tales and misunderstood science. In this episode, we're peeling back the covers on the most persistent sleep myths that are sabotaging your rest.We start with the big one: the terrifying warning that waking a sleepwalker could be fatal. We'll dive into why this myth exists, what actually happens to a sleepwalking brain, and the real dangers you should be worried about instead.Then, we tackle the "Sleep Debt" delusion. Can you really "catch up" on sleep over the weekend, or are you just digging a deeper hole for your circadian rhythm? We're breaking down the biological reality of REM cycles and why your brain isn't a bank account you can just balance on Sunday morning.In this episode, we also explore:The 8-Hour Rule: Why this "magic number" might actually be a modern invention of the Industrial Revolution rather than a biological necessity.The Nightcap Trap: Why that glass of wine might help you fall asleep faster but is actually a chemical "wrecking ball" for your sleep quality.Blue Light & Sleep Hygiene: the TikTok "hacks" from the peer-reviewed science of getting a better night's rest.Whether you're a lifelong insomniac, a chronic snoozer, or just curious about what happens when the lights go out, this deep dive will change the way you look at your mattress. We're separating the science of rest from the stories we tell ourselves in the dark.Stop counting sheep and start counting facts.GET THE BOOK: From AmazonFrom an Indie Book SellerBECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:Elton Reads A Book A Week PatreonTips!SOCIAL MEDIA!

The Pemmy & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon Podcast
Like a bolt from the blue after years of oh so serious Batmen, the Brave and the Bold revived the wilder, sillier elements of the caped crusader and the surrounding DC Comics history. Drawing from material ranging from the golden age up to the most recent iterations of characters like Blue Beetle and the Atom, this is what your hosts would consider "Exhibit A" when making the case that campy does not equal bad. So come join us as we revisit the hammers of justice!
So, this week I decided to take a break from the heavy lifting of a full novel to look at something equally weird: why the places we live have such bizarre "official" handles. Honestly, if you actually look into where state nicknames come from, it's rarely a group of dignified founders sitting around a table. It's usually just a bunch of 19th-century dudes making fun of each other until someone decided to put the insult on a license plate.What we're getting into:The Original Trolls: We talk about how a place like Missouri ended up with the "Show-Me" label. Spoiler: It wasn't a compliment. It was basically a way of calling people from the Ozarks a little too "slow on the uptake" to understand a joke.The Nutmeg Scam: Connecticut is out here calling itself the "Constitution State" now, but back in the day, they were the "Nutmeg State" because their traders were legendary for selling fake, wooden spices to unsuspecting tourists. It's basically the 1800s version of a crypto rug-pull.The Gopher Pivot: You've got Minnesota, which somehow turned a mean-spirited political cartoon about corrupt politicians into a cute mascot. It's like if we started calling a state "The Dumpster Fire State" and then fifty years later everyone was wearing Dumpster Fire hats at football games.Bird Identity Politics: Why is Alabama obsessed with a "Yellowhammer"? And since when is a "Blue Hen" the peak of toughness in Delaware? We're looking at the weirdly specific wildlife obsession that defines half the South.Silver vs. Dirt: Nevada's constant struggle between wanting to sound like a treasure chest and admitting it's mostly just covered in sagebrush.From the "Dark and Bloody Ground" of Kentucky to the "Sunshine" branding that hides a lot of corporate secrets, we're digging into the labels we inherited. It's a messy, hilarious, and totally nonsensical look at American self-branding.Give it a listen, stop yelling at traffic for ten minutes, and then go read a book. Seriously. Keep the brain cells firing, folks.GET THE BOOK: From AmazonFrom an Indie Book SellerBECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:Elton Reads A Book A Week PatreonTips!SOCIAL MEDIA!

"Under the watchful eyes of Bob's Stratos and Apollo..."This week Elton is asking the big questions: What do you do when the world ends, not with a bang, but with a sudden, awkward silence?In this special crossover event, Elton is joined by the one and only Glen Nuzzle from the Nuzzle House podcast to unpack Jonathan Lethem's post-technological fever dream, The Arrest.Imagine the "Off" switch for the entire world was flipped. No internet, no cars, no planes—just a sudden, quiet return to a pastoral life. This is the world of Sandy “Journeyman” Duplessis, a former Hollywood script doctor now living a humble life in rural Maine, delivering organic rutabagas and trying to forget his past.But the past has a way of showing up in a nuclear-powered, drill-nosed super-machine.When Sandy's old frenemy, the legendary (and legendarily ego-maniacal) producer Peter Todbaum, rolls into town in the "Blue Streak," he brings more than just forbidden technology—he brings the toxic baggage of Hollywood storytelling to a world that was finally learning to live without it.The Ultimate Rivalry: We dive into the petty, hilarious tension between a man who just wants to garden and a man who refuses to stop being the protagonist.Post-Apocalypse... with Vibes: Is it a dystopia, or just a really long camping trip? Lethem flips the script on traditional "end of the world" tropes.A "Nuzzle" Worthy Discussion: Glen Nuzzle brings his signature style to the table, helping Elton navigate the surreal landscapes and meta-commentary that only Lethem can provide."It's a story about the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what happens when those stories are delivered by a man in a giant metal mole-car."Whether you're a fan of high-concept literary sci-fi or you just enjoy hearing two guys talk about the absurdity of a nuclear-powered drill in a potato field, this episode is for you.GET THE BOOK: From AmazonFrom an Indie Book SellerBECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:Elton Reads A Book A Week PatreonTips!SOCIAL MEDIA!

On this episode of Riggle's Picks, hosts Rob Riggle and Darren Leader sit down with Diedrich Bader for a funny and surprisingly heartfelt conversation about why we need comedy now more than ever. Diedrich shares stories from Napoleon Dynamite and Office Space, breaking down what was scripted versus improvised, reflects on the power of making a room laugh (including an impromptu Charlie Chaplin performance in a movie theater), talks recent voiceover work, and even kicks things off — and wraps it up — in a delicious German accent.

Is your career in a tailspin? Have you been wandering blindly from one dead-end job to the next, hoping the universe will throw you a bone? Well, great news—wealthy CEOs are here to tell you how to fix your life! In this week's episode of Elton Reads A Book A Week, Elton dives into Fortune Zoom: Surprising Ways to Supercharge Your Career—a book where Fortune Magazine corrals its “40 Under 40” wunderkinds to dispense what they believe passes for practical career advice.Is it useful? Maybe. Is it relatable? Absolutely not. But does Elton's brain snap in increasingly entertaining ways as he tries to make sense of it? Oh, very much so.From Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh's crusade for “company culture,” to closets full of costumes for adults, to Marissa Mayer yeeting herself from Google into Yahoo's hot seat—you'll hear what these innovators supposedly did to “supercharge” their careers, and how you (a normal human with bills) are supposedly meant to do the same.Packed with maniacal rants, sharp satire, and the occasional inspirational nugget buried under layers of skepticism, this episode explores the realities of hard work, risk-taking, and the glossy mythmaking behind success stories. Plus, Elton tries to decide whether this advice is motivational, delusional, or just really good comedy fodder.Come listen to Elton's brain break. It's educational… in its own way.GET THE BOOK: From AmazonFrom an Indie Book Seller - Sorry, no listing for the indies.

Picture this: It's the 1960s, your Welsh hometown is dying, and everyone's telling you to accept reality and move to London. Instead, you read about American libraries closing down and think, "You know what? Opportunity." So you buy crates of abandoned books, ship them to Wales, open a bookshop in an old fire station, purchase a medieval castle, and turn it into a 24-hour honor-system bookstore. Then, for your next trick, you declare your town an independent kingdom and crown yourself monarch. The media goes insane, tourism explodes, and suddenly your "joke" has spawned dozens of copycat book towns worldwide and an international literary festival that attracts more visitors than your entire town's population. Meet Richard Booth, the Oxford-educated madman who proved that sometimes the most ridiculous ideas are also the most brilliant. This is the story of Hay-on-Wye: the town that books built, the kingdom that never was but somehow still exists, and the beautiful audacity of believing that literature can literally save the world—one used paperback at a time.GET A BOOK ABOUT IT HERE: To support independent book shops use this link.Or to just use Amazon use this link.BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:Elton Reads A Book A Week PatreonTips!SOCIAL MEDIA!

Brian Wilson had a gift, and a curse. His mind worked in a magically musical way, in that he could "see" whole, elaborate songs all in his head. It also allowed him to manifest those wonderful ideas in the real world, via the help of his family and friends. It would lead him to cofound a group that would change pop music forever, and have his particular genius recognized the world over as a unique and singular voice in the pantheon of singer-songwriters and composers.His mind was also his worst enemy that would send him spiraling into madness and self loathing that he would turn to drugs and nefarious characters for help, eventually becoming a recluse and musical oddity."As a cofounding member of the Beach Boys in the 1960s, Wilson created some of the most groundbreaking and timeless popular music ever recorded, forever expanding the possibilities of pop songwriting. Derailed in the 1970s by mental illness, drug use, and the shifting fortunes of the band, Wilson came back again and again over the next few decades, surviving and--finally--thriving. Now he weighs in on the sources of his creative inspiration and on his struggles, the exhilarating highs and the debilitating lows. Whether he's talking about his childhood, his bandmates, or his own inner demons, Wilson's story, told in his own voice and in his own way, unforgettably illuminates the man behind the music, working through the turbulence and discord to achieve, at last, a new harmony."Join Elton as he ventures through Brian Wilson's second attempt at a memoir, and listen to him wrestle with guilt about taking advantage of the dead.

Elton's diving into Arthur C. Clarke's absolute acid trip of a book (okay, maybe just the ending), "2001: A Space Odyssey" – you know, the one with the soft spoken computer that murders it's crew to keep a secret? [SPOILERS] And those mysterious black rectangles that basically trolled humanity for millions of years.Here's what's happening this episode:Who was Arthur C. Clarke anyway? Turns out the guy invented the satellites that keep your phone connected to the world...in the 1940s. He even predicted we'd all be doom-scrolling on the internet way before anyone knew what WiFi was. Plus, he was part of sci-fi's holy trinity with Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein. So, a nerd circle jerk. Well, maybe not...THAT, but a pretty important guy. He did well for guy who started out fiddling with radar during WWII.Join Elton as he walks through this wild ride from cavemen discovering tools to humans becoming space gods. There's evolution, mystery, and murder A.I., and honestly? A lot of nerdly nerd stuff that'll make your brain EXPAND in the best way. Don't worry – Elton takes a brunt of the load.The Clarke-Kubrick team-up: Clarke and director Stanley Kubrick basically wrote the book and movie at the same time, which sounds like a nightmare but somehow worked. They turned a short story called "The Sentinel" (Arthur hates that) and turn it into the most mind-f*cking sci-fi movie ever made, though it wasn't all dry humping and champagne.Whether you're into classic sci-fi, love a good book-to-movie story, or just want to understand why HAL 9000 is everyone's least favorite AI, this episode's got you covered. Fair warning: you might have an existential crisis.

This time around Elton's irreverence locks onto "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue", a book all about cutting deals with the devil, living forever, and learning that, when cutting a deal with Satan, it's all about the details. On his hilarious journey, Elton discovers the nature of how others affect your identity, and what a Faustian bargain is all about. Come along,...and stop all that "smirkstibating.""France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever―and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name."GET THE BOOK: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E SchwabElton Reads A Book A Week PatreonTips!SOCIAL MEDIA!

Oh, those damn Democrats and their getting hacked by Russians, and putting thumbs on the scales of primaries, LOSING THE 2016 ELECTION! How did this happen? How did they get here? Where did it start? THERE'S SO MUCH DRAMA! It's crazy that they've gotten this far as a political party! Join Elton on a weird ride through former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile's memoir "Hacks", as he tries to make sense of donkey politics."From Donna Brazile, former DNC chair and legendary political operative, an explosive and revealing new look at the 2016 election: the first insider account of the Russian hacking of the DNC and the missteps by the Clinton campaign and Obama administration that enabled a Trump victory.In the fallout of the Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee--and as chaos threatened to consume the party's convention--Democrats turned to a familiar figure to right the ship: Donna Brazile. Known to millions from her frequent TV appearances, she was no stranger to high stakes and dirty opponents, and the longtime Democratic strategist had a reputation in Washington as a one-stop shop for fixing sticky problems.What Brazile found at the DNC was unlike anything she had experienced before--and much worse than is commonly known. The party was beset by infighting, scandal, and hubris, while reeling from a brazen and wholly unprecedented attempt by a foreign power to influence the presidential election. Plus, its candidate, Hillary Clinton, faced an opponent who broke every rule in the political playbook.Packed with never-before-reported revelations about what went down in 2016, Hacks is equal parts campaign thriller, memoir, and roadmap for the future. With Democrats now in the wilderness after this historic defeat, Hacks argues that staying silent about what went wrong helps no one. Only by laying bare the missteps, miscalculations, and crimes of 2016, Brazile contends, will Americans be able to salvage their democracy."GET THE BOOK: American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President TrumpBECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:Elton Reads A Book A Week PatreonTips!SOCIAL MEDIA!

Send us a text This week on Fabulous Film & Friends, we're going to scale down and take a look at the freakin' sweet indie filmmaking skills of director Jared Hess with his 2004 quirky sleeper hit, Napoleon Dynamite starring Jon Heder, John Gries, Aaron Ruell, Efron Ramirez, Tina Majorino, Haylie Duff, Trevor Snarr, Shondrella Avery, and Diedrich Bader alongside the even quirkier and sleepier box office bomb, Gentlemen Broncos, made in 2009 and starring Michael Angarano, Jermaine Clement, Jennifer Coolidge, Halley Feiffer, Hectór Jiménez, Mike White and Sam Rockwell. This week I have a panel of awesome wizards from Idaho and Utah in David Johnson, DDS and Burton along with Texas fantasy author and hypnotherapist Joe Field, all three of whom are fully qualified to comment on the veracity and value of these two unconventional productions. Before we enter a bizarro universe of dry lips, brown suits with snowboots, and retro-primitive laser battles against rocket launching chordate, the synopses: In Napoleon Dynamite an awkward, misunderstood but spirited high schooler hits back at the status quo in small town Preston Idaho, drawing fantastic creatures, dancing to funky music and standing by Pedro Sanchez, a new student who bravely runs for class president. Gentlemen Broncos follows Benjamin Purvis, a young, homeschooled writer whose sci-fi story Yeast Lords is plagiarized by Dr. Ronald Chevalier, a washed-up author teaching seminars for high school students. Do these films stand as classics or just offbeat oddities? Find out!

This is my first ever "Short-isode", a shorter format episode that I did quickly. Please forgive me. Okay, okay, I'm behind. I tried to to reach for the sun and got burned. Luckily, I managed to get this together, so all hope is not lost. I promise I'll do better next time. Until then, this peace offering about weird taxes, and weird political promises, plus MUSIC! The next full episode about the book "American Carnage" by Tim Alberta, will be up very soon. Here are the lyrics to the song "American Carnage" (American decay): "From the ashes of Bush, the ratings slung low, Obama rose up, and stole the whole show G-O-P party's in ruins, no vision, no fight Their base fell asleep and has been there all night. [PRE-CHORUS] Bombs away, by progress on display, Change hit the right like a brick to the face. Factions at war, blood on the walls, A billonaire bullshitter grabbed them by the balls [CHORUS] American Carnage, for American decay, Marching to the edge, to throw it all away American Carnage, it's a G-O-P ride No place to run—no place to hide. [VERSE] Jordan and Cruz on absolutist fire, Boehner and Mitch try to hold the line. Coups and clashes, the rhetoric like acid, That's it! Impotence grew, and the base got flaccid. [PRE-CHORUS] Bombs away, on progress on display, Change hit the right, like a brick to the face. Factions at war, blood on the walls, A billonaire bullshitter grabbed them by the balls [VERSE] On a golden escalator, came a golden clown, He tore them to shit, and burned their house down. Trillion-dollar debt for a nationalist jerk-off, Morals and family values are sold off [CHORUS] American Carnage, for American decay, Marching to the edge, to throw it all away American Carnage, it's a G-O-P ride No place to run—no place to hide. [BRIDGE] Muslim bans, walls, and the families torn, The old guard's dead, now the new breed's born. Cultural shifts, tech disrupts, America's soul ripped and fucked up. [BREAKDOWN] How did we get here? Do we survive? Is this a death rattle, Are we alive? Decades of division, resentment, and greed, The roots of the party now strangled by sleaze. [CHORUS] American Carnage, for American decay, Marching to the edge, to throw it all away American Carnage, it's a G-O-P ride No place to run—no place to hide. [OUTRO] It's American Carnage, (AMERICAN CARNAGE!) Our American Carnage (AMERICAN CARNAGE!) We won't get very far with...(AMERICAN CARNAGE!) We'll all have to live with...(AMERICAN CARNAGE!)"
