HELLOOOO & welcome back to another episode of MOMENT OF SILENCE

This week (And a day early, too!), we thought that we'd re-release last year's episode "On Halloween" for those who are new to the podcast and may have missed the discussion. In this conversation, Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye discuss how misunderstood the cultural history tied to Halloween really is. For many people, Halloween offers an excuse to dress up in a costume, for kids to rack up an insane amount of candy, or a reason to dust off an old horror film for a night's worth of adrenaline. But there are a lot of Christians who grapple with whether they should stay clear of any and everything tied to Halloween. To really understand it, you need to be familiar with its history and its background. Because its Christian roots run deeper than you may realize. Episode Links Dr. White began this discussion with a very helpful overview on the history and traditions that have led to our modern day celebration of Halloween. There is an article that you might find interesting written by Sophie Dickinson for The Telegraph titled “The origins of Halloween, from trick-or-treat to pumpkin carving.” And while a New York Times article from 1986 predicted that Halloween was on its way out as a cultural celebration, a recent article written by Aimee Ortiz highlights how it has quickly become a “retail monstrosity.” You can read that article HERE. Dr. White has blogged in the past about how while many children embrace the fun and childlike innocence that Halloween can hold, it's often parents who are making it dark through their hyper-sexualized costumes. You can read that past blog HERE, as well as the article that Dr. White referenced titled “Good Girls Go Bad, for a Day.” And if you're interested in knowing what the most popular costumes will be this year, you can find the list from Frightgeist HERE. Finally, at the top the episode, Alexis mentioned how last year, another holiday coincided with Halloween - the celebration of Diwali. Dr. White wrote a recent blog titled “Should I Attend a Diwali Celebration?”, which you can read HERE. This was also the topic of a past podcast episode that we'd encourage you to go back and listen to: CCP38: On Attending Diwali Celebrations and Gay Weddings.

Last week was Diwali, the Indian festival of lights. But Sandip Roy grew up with the Goddess Kali.

Thousands of households across the country are currently in rates arrears, struggling to pay their rates for the 2024/2025 financial year.  Auckland Council's head of rates, valuations and data management, Rhonwen Heath, said 6.6 percent of rates, or 42,902 households were outstanding at the start of the 2025/2026 year. As cost of living pressures continue to grow on households, with rising food, electricity and rents, Thursday Wire Producer Sanat wanted to chat to Auckland Councilor Shane Henderson about how Auckland Council plays a role in making life more affordable for everyday Aucklanders. They also had a discussion about the role of fireworks in our community, with major festivals like Diwali prompting some communities to express concern about the disruption that fireworks are causing to their families, animals and the natural environment.

Brad welcomes Liz Theoharis and Charon Hribar, editors of We Pray Freedom: Liturgies and Rituals from The Freedom Church of the Poor. Both guests are key leaders in the faith-based anti-poverty movement and longtime organizers with the Poor People's Campaign. Together, they discuss how liturgy and ritual can be reclaimed as acts of collective resistance, solidarity, and hope among the poor and dispossessed. The conversation weaves through Liz and Charon's personal journeys—Liz's formation in faith-driven social justice work and Charon's discovery of liberation theology growing up in a steel town—and traces how decades of grassroots organizing through the Kairos Center inspired this new book. They explore how faith traditions, particularly Christianity, can serve as public, justice-oriented practice rather than private belief, what it means to “pray with your feet,” and how ritual itself can be political. Drawing from We Pray Freedom, the guests share powerful examples: a memorial liturgy for unhoused people at New York's Potter's Field, a reimagined Las Posadas led by migrant communities, and multi-faith celebrations like Diwali and Passover that embody joy, resilience, and defiance. They also address the current “war on the poor” in the U.S.—from healthcare cuts to attacks on education—and highlight how communities continue to organize, resist, and find joy together. This episode is both a spiritual and practical conversation about how worship, art, and music can sustain movements for justice.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Varanasi's Hidden Past: An Archaeological Diwali Revelation Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2025-10-27-07-38-20-hi Story Transcript:Hi: वराणसी की प्राचीन गलियों में, जहां गंगा की लहरों की शांति और मंदिरों की धुनें गूंजती हैं, उनके बीच एक विशेष अभियान शुरू हो चुका था।En: In the ancient lanes of Varanasi, where the tranquility of the Ganga river's waves and the tunes of temples echo, a special expedition had begun.Hi: इस अभियान का नेतृत्व कर रहे थे अरुण। वे एक योग्य पुरातत्वविद् थे, जो प्राचीन सभ्यताओं के रहस्यों को खोजने के लिए कृतसंकल्प थे।En: Leading this expedition was Arun, a skilled archaeologist determined to unravel the mysteries of ancient civilizations.Hi: उनके साथ थीं कविता, जिन्हें इतिहास से वर्तमान जोड़ने का शौक था, और रिया, जो हाल ही में इस काम में मेघावी होकर शामिल हुई थीं।En: Accompanying him were Kavita, who had a passion for linking history to the present, and Riya, a bright new addition to the team.Hi: शरद ऋतु की इस सुहानी दोपहर में, कच्चे पत्तों की आवाज और मंदिर की घंटियों की गूंज शहर को संगीतमय बना रही थी।En: On this pleasant autumn afternoon, the sound of falling leaves and the chiming of temple bells made the city musical.Hi: आश्विन मास का यह विशेष पर्व, दीपावली, करीब आ चुका था, और उसके साथ ही अभियान से जुड़े समय की सीमा भी।En: The special festival of Diwali in the month of Ashwin was approaching, and with it, so was the deadline for the expedition.Hi: "हमें और मेहनत करनी होगी," अरुण ने अपनी टीम से कहा।En: "We need to work harder," Arun told his team.Hi: दीपावली के आने से उनके पास काम खत्म करने का समय कम होता जा रहा था।En: The arrival of Diwali meant they had less time to complete their work.Hi: उनका विश्वास था कि वे कुछ महत्वपूर्ण खोजने के बेहद करीब हैं।En: He believed they were very close to an important discovery.Hi: कविता ने कुछ पुराने दस्तावेजों और नक्शों के आधार पर एक स्थान की ओर इशारा किया।En: Based on some old documents and maps, Kavita pointed to a location.Hi: "यह जगह महत्वपूर्ण हो सकती है," उसने कहा।En: "This place could be significant," she said.Hi: वह उस क्षेत्र में खुदाई का प्रस्ताव रखती हैं, जहां उसके पुरखों का इतिहास छुपा हो सकता है।En: She proposed excavating in an area where her ancestors' history might be hidden.Hi: लेकिन अरुण की चिंता बढ़ रही थी; समय और वित्तीय दावों के दबाव का सामना कैसे करें।En: However, Arun was growing concerned about how to handle the pressure of time and financial constraints.Hi: बिना किसी को बताए, रिया एक बंद क्षेत्र की ओर खिसकी।En: Without telling anyone, Riya slipped towards a restricted area.Hi: उसकी जिज्ञासा ने उसे वहां खींच लिया, जबकि वह जानती थी कि ऐसा करना नियमों के खिलाफ है।En: Her curiosity led her there, even though she knew it was against the rules.Hi: वह अपने महत्व को साबित करना चाहती थी।En: She wanted to prove her worth.Hi: जैसे-जैसे दीपावली की रात नज़दीक आई, उनकी मेहनत रंग लायी।En: As the night of Diwali drew nearer, their hard work paid off.Hi: खुदाई के दौरान उन्हें एक विशेष कलाकृति मिली।En: During the excavation, they found a special artifact.Hi: यह कृति ऐसी थी, जो संभवतः वाराणसी के इतिहास को नए सिरे से लिख सकती थी।En: This piece could possibly rewrite the history of Varanasi.Hi: परंतु इसकी प्रामाणिकता पर सवाल उठने लगे क्योंकि इसकी बनावट असामान्य थी।En: However, questions arose about its authenticity because of its unusual craftsmanship.Hi: अंततः, जब दीपावली की रोशनी ने पूरे शहर को जगमगा दिया, तो वह कलाकृति प्रामाणिक साबित हुई।En: Ultimately, when the lights of Diwali illuminated the entire city, the artifact was proven to be authentic.Hi: अरुण की मेहनत और विश्वास का परिणाम सफल हुआ, कविता की शोध ने उसके पुश्तैनी जड़ों से उसे फिर जोड़ा, और रिया के रहस्यमय खोज ने इस कलाकृति के लिए आवश्यक संदर्भ प्रदान किया।En: Arun's hard work and trust paid off, Kavita's research reconnected her with her ancestral roots, and Riya's mysterious find provided the crucial context needed for the artifact.Hi: इस सफल खोज ने अरुण को सिखाया कि कभी-कभी सहयोगी प्रयासों और अंतर्दृष्टि से अधिक विश्वास करना चाहिए।En: This successful discovery taught Arun that sometimes trusting collaborative efforts and insights is necessary.Hi: कविता ने अपने अतीत के साथ गहरा संबंध महसूस किया।En: Kavita felt a deep connection with her past.Hi: और रिया को न केवल टीम का सम्मान मिला, बल्कि उसे यह भी एहसास हुआ कि खोज को समझने के लिए संदर्भ की कितनी अहमियत होती है।En: And Riya gained not only the respect of the team but also realized how important context is for understanding discoveries.Hi: तीनों ने मिलकर दीपावली के दीप जलाए, और गंगा के किनारे खड़े होकर अपने प्रयासों की सफलता का उत्सव मनाया।En: Together, they lit the lamps of Diwali and stood by the banks of the Ganga, celebrating the success of their efforts.Hi: वाराणसी की वह रात, इतिहास को नई दिशा देने वाली बन गई।En: That night in Varanasi became one that would steer history in a new direction.

In this Week 43 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, we review another subdued week in the global ship recycling markets as currencies fluctuated, steel plate prices softened, and sentiment across India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Turkey remained weak. Global Market Overview Markets slowed across the board as the Baltic Dry Index slipped about 3.2% to its lowest level since early October. Oil prices found mild traction, firming to USD 62.14 per barrel, up roughly 1% on expectations of a possible China–U.S. trade deal. Inflation in the United States rose to 3%, while sanctions and tariff pressures added further uncertainty. Recycling prices across the Sub-continent continued to fall, with levels below USD 400 per LDT now widely discussed. Supply of tonnage remained extremely limited, leaving yards mostly idle despite steady freight markets. Bangladesh Chattogram showed sporadic activity with a few larger LDT units drawing attention, including LNG carriers PUTERI NILAM and PUTERI DELIMA sold en bloc on private terms, and bulker MONICA P (7,779 LDT) sold at USD 380 per LT LDT “as is” Belawan. The Taka weakened to BDT 122.35, while local steel plate slipped another USD 3 per ton. Elections scheduled for February 2026 continue to shape local sentiment. India Alang endured another quiet week as Diwali holidays passed with little recovery. Steel plate prices remained near USD 389 per ton, and the rupee closed at INR 87.54. More than 100 HKC-certified yards remain empty, as prices for clean tonnage fall below USD 400 per LDT and the arrival of shadow-fleet vessels further depresses sentiment. Pakistan After recent optimism, Gadani slowed again due to an influx of cheap Iranian scrap steel. Local recyclers hesitated to offer on limited tonnage as plate prices held near USD 614 per ton. The rupee weakened to PKR 283.50 per USD. Larger dry units remain preferred, while smaller vessels are avoided amid certification delays. Turkey Little movement was recorded in Aliaga as the Lira slipped to TRY 42.08 per USD and local steel values remained largely unchanged. Offers stayed within USD 250–270 per LDT as sentiment stayed weak. Market Sentiment With October ending, global freight remains firm and oil prices higher, but the recycling sector continues to face record-low supply, fading prices, and growing uncertainty.

Understand the importance of family. These moments don't come back."Hi: रोहन, जो अब तक चुप था, बोला, "दीदी, तुम हमेशा काम में बिजी रहती हो। कभी-कभी परिवार के साथ भी तो समय बिताना चाहिए।"En: Rohan, who had been silent until now, spoke, "Sister, you're always busy with work. Sometimes, you should also spend time with family."Hi: अनन्या के लिए यह सुनना थोड़ा मुश्किल था।En: It was a bit hard for Ananya to hear.Hi: रात में, जब आखिरी समारोह का समय आया, अनन्या को अंतिम फैसला लेना था।En: At night, when it was time for the last ceremony, Ananya had to make a final decision.Hi: ऑफिस का एक जरूरी मीटिंग था, लेकिन अचानक उसे महसूस हुआ कि परिवार के साथ वक्त बिताना ज्यादा मायने रखता है।En: There was an important meeting at the office, but suddenly she felt that spending time with family was more significant.Hi: उसने ऑफिस को कॉल किया और कहा कि वो मीटिंग में शामिल नहीं हो पाएगी।En: She called the office and said she wouldn't be able to attend the meeting.Hi: दिवाली की रात अनन्या ने हंसते हुए दीया जलाए और देखा कि रोहन अब परिवार के बिजनेस में अधिक सक्रिय है।En: On the night of Diwali, Ananya lit the diyas smilingly and saw that Rohan was now more active in the family business.Hi: उसने उसकी मदद भी की।En: She even helped him.Hi: उन्हें यह महसूस हुआ कि परिवार से जुड़े रहना और दिल की खुशी के बीच संतुलन बनाना सबसे ज्यादा मायने रखता है।En: They realized that staying connected with family and maintaining a balance with the joy of the heart was what truly mattered.Hi: अनन्या ने पहचाना कि यह पल जिंदगी की दौड़ से कहीं ज्यादा अनमोल हैं।En: Ananya recognized that these moments are more precious than the race of life.Hi: इस तरह उन्होंने दिवाली के आनंद को परिवार की खुशियों के साथ साझा किया, यह जानते हुए कि एक संतुलित जीवन जीना ही असली सफलता है।En: Thus, they shared the happiness of Diwali with family joy, knowing that living a balanced life is the real success.Hi: गेटवे ऑफ इंडिया की उस चमकती शाम ने उनके रिश्तों की डोर को और मजबूत कर दिया था।En: That sparkling evening at the Gateway of India strengthened the bonds of their relationships.

Brad and Dan unpack the symbolism and substance behind the demolition of the East Wing of the White House to make way for a privately funded ballroom. They reflect on what presidential construction projects reveal about power, legacy, and the messages leaders send through what they build...and destroy. The conversation broadens into current policies on immigration and detention centers, the expansion of ICE, and the moral failures in training and accountability. The hosts also examine the “No Kings” protests and the growing Christian nationalist backlash that frames dissent as rebellion against “Jesus as King.” They connect this rhetoric to broader themes of exclusion, such as dismissive comments about non-Christian holidays like Diwali, and to the resurgence of biblical literalism—including a far-right pastor's defense of slavery. Brad and Dan trace the dangerous evolution from persuasion to colonization within evangelical and nationalist movements, while highlighting protest and public dissent as vital signs of democratic resistance and hope.

The huge rightwing backlash over the President lighting Diwali candles has exposed a new phase of collapse in American society and the rule of law. What were calls to ban Islam, deport Muslims, and prevent their entry, has grown louder to now include Hindus and anyone else not worshiping one narrow fragment of Christianity. For all those who, by the Constitution, defended Christian conservatism it is a huge slap in the face. Mostly because the right has quickly become the worst version of itself and exactly what the left accused. However, it appears there are other players here too. A recent education report card shows that a third of American students are so illiterate they cannot even comprehend the basic order of events in a single passage or summary. Mix this with revamped religious zealotry and you have uneducated maniacs ready to fight a holy war over texts they can hardly even read. The theme we are seeing unfold is that the United States and Constitution are old news and that all efforts should be focused on starting armageddon by blindly following the nation-state of Israel. The words of pastor John Hagee at the Christians United for Israel conference demand Americans to accept that Jews are not merely chosen but “above all the people on the face of the earth,” including the “United States of America.” This ideology aligns with an Israeli firm's plan to target Christians across the U.S. with Christian propaganda in excess of the Scofield Bible. The firm is called Show Faith Works, and rather than it being yet another holocaust reminder, it is a Jesus and Israel reminder with mobile museums and workshops. If all other religions can be condemned, including certain sects of Christianity, by the natural Christian reaction, mixed with Judaic propaganda, to damn all but Jesus, then what remains of Christianity will be nothing but a puppet with an Israeli hand. Furthermore, the arguments being made against religions like Hinduism or the festival of Diwali are tantamount to children not understanding why they shouldn't play in the road. The extreme right has even sunken so low as to be prepared to rewrite the Constitution for Christ.  *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

He calls it proof that America-first rhetoric masks globalist financial manipulation. 00:07:43 – Trump vs. American FarmersKnight tears into Trump's trade chaos — punishing Brazil, rewarding Argentina, and wrecking market stability for U.S. cattlemen. He argues that MAGA loyalty has blinded conservatives to policies destroying rural America. 00:14:17 – Farm Revolt Against TrumpCattle groups and state farm bureaus condemn Trump's plan to import Argentine beef. Knight highlights growing backlash from agricultural leaders who see the policy as a betrayal of American ranchers and economic sovereignty. 00:42:32 – Bioengineered Meat AllergiesKnight discusses shocking academic proposals to make humans allergic to meat through genetically modified ticks. Condemning it as technocratic insanity and part of the global war on natural food and human biology. 00:51:27 – Globalists' Food Takeover FailsKnight praises Florida's ban on lab-grown “tumor meat” and mocks Bill Gates's failed Beyond Meat empire. He closes with a call for food self-sufficiency, warning that centralized agriculture is the foundation of global control. 01:04:10 – Argentina's Decline & Javier MileiKnight welcomes The New American publisher Steve Bonta, who draws on his time living in Argentina to describe its cultural Europeanism, intellectual roots, and long fall from prosperity into “a century of socialism.” He profiles President Milei as a libertarian reformer trying to reverse Peronist collectivism but warns that populist cults of personality—whether Perón or Trump—lead nations into tyranny. 01:13:00 – FDR, Trump & the Cult of PowerBonta and Knight connect Juan Perón's legacy to FDR's New Deal authoritarianism, arguing that both centralized government control through charisma. Knight warns that Trump has become another “fourth-turning” accelerationist—using chaos to remake America—while setting dangerous precedents that mirror 20th-century strongmen. 01:25:18 – Fiat Money Collapse & Gold ResurgenceBonta explains the Federal Reserve's unique power to export inflation and weaponize the dollar. Both note that central banks worldwide are hoarding gold, signaling the end of fiat illusions. Knight calls the modern system “the magic-money tree,” while Bonta insists only gold and silver reveal the true decline of Western purchasing power. 01:43:37 – UN Global Tax Agenda & Trump's ReversalBonta details the UN's plan for a global shipping tax—its first independent revenue stream toward world government—and credits Trump for blocking it. They trace how globalists use trade blocs to merge economies into political unions, warning the scheme mirrors the EU's path from “free trade” to supranational control. 01:52:27 – De-Dollarization & End of U.S. DominanceKnight and Bonta close by exposing the Argentina bailout and dollar decay. They link Washington's currency manipulations to the global flight toward gold and BRICS, predicting hyperinflation and the fall of dollar supremacy. Knight ends by praising The New American for warning decades ago about federalized, militarized policing and the coming authoritarian backlash. 02:15:47 – Global Silver Shortage & India PanicKnight reports that India's largest silver refinery has run out of supply for the first time ever amid massive Diwali-season buying. He highlights global ripple effects—London vaults empty, traders in chaos, and paper silver diverging from physical metal—framing it as evidence of Western financial decay and manipulation. 02:30:03 – India's Poisoned Pharma EmpireKnight exposes India's pharmaceutical industry as a “toxic mirror of Pfizer,” citing deadly cough syrups and widespread fraud. He argues the FDA knowingly enables foreign contamination through deregulation and political protection, making the U.S. complicit in poisoning its own citizens under the guise of global trade efficiency. 02:44:15 – FDA & Indian Corruption MergeExpanding on ProPublica's findings, Knight details how Indian plants with metal shavings and contaminated drugs still ship to U.S. pharmacies. He claims the FDA's fear of shortages drives its silence, likening the agency to a captured institution prioritizing profit and geopolitical deals over American safety. 02:56:48 – Trump's War on Thomas MassieKnight ends the episode with sharp criticism of Trump's attacks on Congressman Thomas Massie, funded by pro-Israel billionaires like Miriam Adelson. He contrasts Massey's anti-war, anti-bailout record with Trump's hypocrisy—supporting Lindsey Graham and globalist donors—branding Trump “the real RINO” and warning conservatives not to worship false America First idols.

Dvorak on Twitter Follow Andrew Horowitz on Twitter We're dedicating this episode to Sophia Maria — someone very special who left us too soon... Warm-Up - A new crisis is brewing - banking sector again - Markets is sideways mode - The scary tariffs and a walk back - Apple News........ - Announcing the WINNER of the CTP for LAC Markets - Yields dropping - Region bank scare due to 2/3 bankruptcies (new stress) - Fed stops tightening - why is that? - TACO trade is back - Buig Tech earnings on the way "Just when you think that the coast is clear - the banks will somehow screw things up" US Government Shutdown - Day 19? Bitcoin - Hits all-time high above $125,000 - then pulls back - Big moves with crypto last couple of weeks - Trump tariff comments spooked speculators -- Some coins were down 15-25% after the close on that Friday GOLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! - Taking a walloping last couple of days... -- Was really overbought -- Silver getting hammered too (8% in 2 days) Gold, Silver BOOM - Also hits new highs - then backs off a tad - Major holiday in India --- First day of Diwali in India - Buying gold (and silver) on Dhanteras is considered highly auspicious. It symbolizes: -- Wealth and prosperity, invoking blessings from Goddess Lakshmi (the deity of wealth). -- Health and longevity, honoring Lord Dhanvantari, the divine healer who is believed to have emerged with the nectar of immortality on this day. --  Financial stability, as gold is seen as a secure and pure investment. New Phrase - Like the use of TAM - Total Addressable Market or other PR phrases.... - "Right to win" is a business strategy concept that refers to a company's ability to enter a competitive market with a high probability of success, based on its unique advantages. It is not an automatic entitlement but is earned through a coherent strategy that aligns a company's "way to play" (its strategy) with its core capabilities and assets. This requires a clear, sustainable competitive advantage over rivals - Heard this just today TWICE - CEO of NASDAQ and CEO of Goldman Sachs - OBNOXIOUS!

I think that there will be a lot of capital that's deployed that will turn out to not deliver returns, and when that happens, people won't feel good.” More Warnings - Jamie Dimon talks about cockroaches related to the recent bankruptcies (where there is one - there are more...) - First Brands Group, an auto parts supplier, filed for bankruptcy with over $11.6 billion in liabilities. The company's use of invoice factoring—allegedly pledging the same receivables to multiple lenders—has triggered a federal investigation and raised alarms about off-balance-sheet financing. - Tricolor Holdings, a subprime auto lender, is accused of fraudulently pledging risky loan portfolios to multiple banks. The fallout has led to significant write-downs at institutions like JPMorgan and Fifth Third Bancorp. -- The regional banks under pressure as this is developing.

Monsters come in many forms and each has its own definition and interpretation. Sometimes monsters are separate from other scary creatures and other times they help categorize them. In the pre-ancient world, monsters were natural disasters and phenomena, symbolized by Titans. We actually create Titan-like gods today when we name hurricanes, and we perform appeasement rituals when we advocate for green policies and products to stop the destruction of an attack. In the ancient world monsters were outsiders, people with birth defects, people who were deformed from an accident, people who were tall or short (relatively), etc. Today we take the tall and small alike and profit from them still in the form of entertainment just as they were paraded through royal palaces in the past in Europe. In the pre-modern world, the latter ideas were maintained but monsters were shaped into theological demons, largely extracted from vegetation myths and zealous-imagination. More modern monsters have been defined by movies, ecology, and psychology. Also, from Dracula and Michael Myers to Godzilla and zombies, science can explain just as much as the supernatural classifications can. Dracula sucks “life force,” Michael is “pure evil” that cannot be killed, Godzilla is the folly of man, and zombies may be formed by drugs or fungus. Horror is such because it brings the abnormal to view, by sound, children, clowns, dolls and the general “uncanny valley.” The fear of snakes and danger of electricity certainly contributed to Medusa's ability, just as deer antlers contributed to the devil. Humans have also grown horns or tales, even in contemporary times, while some have suffered from clawed hands from ectrodactyly. Modern political and religious monsters are in abundance, too, and some are so vile they essentially suffer from clinical lycanthropy. Unable to control their emotions they transform into beasts and scream like a banshee. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

This week on the Sheena Interrupted Podcast…We're freezing, feuding, and feeling everything. From our never-ending thermostat war (one of us thinks “room temp” means sub-zero) to a Diwali celebration filled with laughter, tears, and totally unhinged traditions — this episode goes everywhere. Sheena gets emotional about family, TRID rebrands the Festival of Lights into Gotham City, and somehow cow dung, mirrors, and gift cards all make a cameo. It's festive chaos, marital comedy, and a surprisingly heart-warming reminder of what really matters. Thanks to this week's sponsor: Factor: Code SHEENA50 at FactorMeals.com for 50% off your first box & free breakfast for a year!

Opie kicks off with a hilarious throwback clip of KISS legend Ace Frehley crashing Jim Norton's birthday on the old O&A show—complete with Jimmy's wild childhood Kiss beatdown fantasies and a botched "New York Groove" cover. He pays tribute to the late Ace as the "nicest guy in Kiss." Then, unfiltered rants on: Trump's pardon of George Santos (and why politics is a "dirty game"), the chaotic NYC mayor race with Zohran Mamdani poised to win amid Cuomo-Sliwa beef, epic No Kings Day protests (including old folks in wheelchairs hating Trump), and Diwali vibes—celebrating light over darkness, good over evil. Family movie night disasters: The 2015 Vacation reboot holds up better than the "pile of shit" 1983 original (RIP tit shots & stereotypes), Blended flops hard, and Adam Sandler gets roasted as overrated. Plus, shots at haters, Twitter trolls, and living in the light. Raw, real, and packed with O&A memories—don't miss this sunrise stream from Manhattan!

Diwali is the perfect moment to upgrade your relationship with desire. In this episode, we contrast the material formula—“if the world gives me what I want, I'll be happy”—with the yogic move to become the observer of desire, calm it with clear knowledge, and outgrow it through devotion. As love deepens, the craving mind quiets and new, service-shaped desires appear. Expect festival-of-lights reflections, Bhakti insights on detachment and fulfillment, a Bob-Dylan-approved reminder that we all serve something, and a few laughs about Raghu's gym heroics and MRI adventures—because even on the path of devotion, humor helps the medicine go down.

From the BBC World Service: As members of China's ruling Communist Party gather to discuss the country's economic plans for the next five years, news that growth has slowed to a one-year low hangs over proceedings. Then, Bolivia's next president has said a priority will be tackling his country's economic crisis. And as Diwali — the Hindu festival of light — begins, we'll ask how consumers in India are dealing with the rising price of gold, which is central to gift-giving there.

Bolivians have elected a center-right candidate, Rodrigo Paz, as their new president, ending 20 years of leftist political leadership. Paz's victory puts the 12-million-strong nation on a notably uncertain path as he attempts to implement significant changes for the first time since 2005. Also, authoritarian governments are increasingly using ‘foreign agent' laws to intimidate and silence civil society groups and journalists. And, a new study reports that cancer rates in Lebanon are rising faster than anywhere else in the world. Plus,  Hindus worldwide are celebrating Diwali today. The festival of lights involves oil lamps, fireworks ... and a bit of friendly gambling.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
