Life in the entertainment industry can be a precarious high-wire act. My guest for today's episode, Christina Sweney, knows all about that. From her humble beginnings as a hostess to the glitz of cocktail waitressing, Christina shares the raw and unfiltered journey, highlighting the intense audition process that may leave many feeling insignificant. As the conversation flows, we also delve into the intricate world of network marketing. Having experienced the shock of pricey Scottsdale bottles and how it clashed with my accustomed income, I discuss the mental and physical toll of this career. But it's not all gloomy; we also shine a light on the benefits of union membership and the power of networking inside the industry. Together, we unravel the trials and tribulations that led to our career transitions and the moment of self-reflection that sparked it all. Finally, we confront the elephant in the room - network marketing. Many are enticed by the allure of quick money, but we crash headfirst into the reality. Success in network marketing is a product of commitment and hard work, not get-rich-quick schemes. We also scrutinize the compensation structure of MLM businesses and discuss the hidden pitfalls of Amazon affiliate marketing. So, join us as we pull back the curtain on the entertainment industry and network marketing. It's a wild ride, but definitely one worth taking.

Story 1 (00:01:39): In this news update, we discuss the recent debt deal that imposes new work requirements for food aid and the conflicting views among Democrats. President Joe Biden negotiated tougher work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps, which has led to a mixed response within the Democratic party. Republicans agreed to drop certain work requirements for veterans and homeless individuals. This compromise has sparked frustration among Democrats who are torn between cutting access to food for marginalized communities and avoiding default on the nation's debt. Learn more about the new requirements and their potential impact on SNAP recipients in this informative video.Source: APNews.com Story 2 (00:12:14): In this news update, we discuss the recent removal of the Bible from elementary and middle school libraries in a Utah school district. The removal was prompted by a parent's complaint citing Utah's law on "pornographic or indecent" material in books and arguing that the Bible contains vulgarity and violence. The Davis School District reviewed the Bible and determined that it does not violate the state's law but should be limited to high school-aged students. However, another parent has appealed the decision, and the outcome will be decided at a future public meeting. Republican legislator Ken Ivory, who initially criticized the complaint, later expressed that the Bible is best taught at home. Join us as we delve into the discussions surrounding book challenges and bans in schools and the impact of Utah's book banning law on literature in education.Source: NPR.org Story 3 (00:23:25): In this news update, we discuss the recent SpaceX Starship launch failure that resulted in unforeseen environmental damage in Port Isabel, Texas. The launch caused a cloud of thick, granular debris to descend upon the city, leaving residents furious and describing the event as "truly terrifying." Large pieces of concrete, some the size of bowling balls, were reported, and a significant crater was formed. Environmental experts are critical of SpaceX's impact modeling and failure to implement measures to mitigate the rocket's flame impact. Despite concerns about environmental risks, the launch was approved by the FAA, raising questions about their assessment. Join us as we delve into the details of the incident and the challenges faced by SpaceX, a company led by Elon Musk, in balancing their ambitious private space exploration goals with the importance of minimizing environmental impacts.Source: giantfreakinrobot.com JOIN Inspired Disorder +PLUS Today!

The Writers Guild of America is fighting for better pay and working conditions for writers, while the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers is taking a conservative approach. Late-night shows such as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Saturday Night Live have already gone dark due to the strike, and the network television season could be delayed.

Story 2 (00:19:30): King Charles III's coronation was a grand event that took place on May 6, 2023, at Westminster Abbey, with over 2,000 guests invited. The ceremony featured the coronation regalia, including ceremonial swords, scepters, orbs, and St Edward's Crown, and Queen Consort Camilla was also crowned alongside King Charles III. The Royal Family had the power to censor BBC coverage of the coronation, which raised questions about the extent of the constitutional monarch's power. The cost of the ceremony was highlighted amid the ongoing cost of living crisis. Anti-monarchy protesters dressed in bright yellow were also arrested during the event. Story 3 (00:28:03): In this news article, we explore House Republicans' bill to lift the debt ceiling and cut spending. The Limit, Save, Grow Act, which passed the House by a slim margin, proposes lifting the debt limit by $1.5 trillion and imposing cuts in federal spending to the tune of $4.5 trillion. Economic analysts warn of a potential recession if action is not taken, and Senator Bernie Sanders accuses the GOP of holding the world economy "hostage." President Biden and Democrats have pushed for a debt ceiling hike without conditions, but Republicans insist on spending cuts.

The library systems representing the five boroughs warn that additional funding cuts would obliterate weekend hours across the city. Meanwhile, the new eight-year contract with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) will give police officers billions in salary increases and overtime pay. The labor agreement increases police wages retroactively beginning in 2017, and the top pay for officers after five-and-a-half years of service will be $131,500 per year—a $40,000 increase.

However, this “first of its kind” case study exemplifies the risks that fungal pathogens pose for humans, especially now that climate change and other human activities like rampant urbanization have opened a “Pandora's Box for newer fungal diseases” by contributing to their spread.

Story 1 (00:01:13): French citizens take to the streets to protest against the government's unpopular pension reforms. Many thousands march, and the Eiffel Tower has been closed as police have ramped up security measures. President Emmanuel Macron's changes to France's retirement system have triggered months of upheaval and fresh union pleas to pause the hotly contested push to raise the legal retirement age from 62 to 64 have gone unheard. Violence has flared, and thousands of tons of garbage have piled up on Paris' streets as sanitation workers strike. The French government is unfurling massively ramped-up security measures for a fresh blast of marches and strikes against unpopular pension reforms.Story 2 (00:13:06): The proposed RESTRICT Act might ban not only TikTok but also other apps and services with connections to foreign countries. Digital rights experts are worried about the bill's "insanely broad" language and the possible implications for First Amendment rights. The act targets any technology linked to a "foreign adversary," including China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela, and includes vague terms such as "desktop applications," "mobile applications," "gaming applications," "payment applications," and "web-based applications." The bill's critics believe it could lead to the banning of VPNs and other privacy and security tools. Learn more about the RESTRICT Act in this video.Story 3 (00:31:36): Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, the first against a former president.

Story 1 (00:01:10): Richard Golden, a mid-30s 4Chan user living with his mother, was arrested for allegedly threatening to kill Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood. Chitwood had recently gone viral for a passionate rant against neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups in Florida. Golden's IP address was flagged by authorities after he posted a threatening message on 4Chan. In this video, we discuss the details of the case and the larger issues of online threats and hate speech.Story 2 (00:11:04): OpenAI research reveals that up to 80% of US workers may see their jobs impacted by GPTs. The study shows that some jobs, such as mathematicians, tax preparers, writers, and legal secretaries, will be more impacted than others, while occupations requiring science and critical thinking skills are less likely to be affected. Google and Microsoft have already announced that they would incorporate AI in their office products. In this video, we discuss the implications of GPTs and how they will shape the future of work. Story 3 (00:28:12): The Los Angeles Unified School District and Local 99 of the Service Employees International Union have reached a tentative agreement after a massive strike that lasted several days. The agreement provides raises of about 30% or more for the lowest-wage workers over time, affected by the length of service and current salary. Some workers will receive less than 30% and some more. The deal, which is not yet official and must be approved by union members, is not an across-the-board increase but spread out over time. If approved, the agreement could prevent campuses from being closed again for 420,000 students and spare workers from difficult job actions. The agreement reflects a broader context of the problems affecting working-class families and the importance of unions for working-class people. Unions allow workers to negotiate better wages, benefits, and working conditions than they could as individuals. They also help protect workers from arbitrary termination or layoffs, enforce workplace safety regulations, provide training and education opportunities, and ensure that all workers are treated fairly and equally. Unionized workers often receive better health care, retirement, and other benefits than non-unionized workers, and report higher job satisfaction and better morale.Shout Out To: @ViceNews @MotherboardVice @LATimes JOIN Inspired Disorder +PLUS Today!

Dubbed "Snailbrook," the town is set to feature prefabricated homes, a pool, sports area, gym, and even a potential school. Musk has said he plans to offer the houses at cheaper prices to provide affordable housing for his employees.

Story 1 (00:00:58): Alec Baldwin is facing a criminal trial for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film "Rust" in New Mexico. Prosecutors will determine whether Baldwin is responsible for Hutchins' death by evaluating whether he "should have known of the danger involved" when he pointed a loaded gun at Hutchins or "acted with a willful disregard for the safety of others." Under New Mexico's involuntary manslaughter laws, Baldwin could face up to five years in prison if a jury finds criminal negligence in his accidental firing of a vintage Colt revolver. Baldwin's attorney, Luke Nikas, claims that the actor "relied on the professionals with whom he worked, who assured him the gun did not have live rounds."Story 2 (00:19:08): Netflix, the Silicon Valley DVD rental company, has come a long way since its start as an ambitious startup with grandiose dreams of being "a global entertainment distribution company that provides a unique channel for film producers and studios." Today, the company's founder and former CEO, Reed Hastings, stepped down from his role, leaving behind a company that has less than 2% of the $8 billion video rental market. Despite the competition from Walmart and Blockbuster, Netflix has managed to double its customer base to 750,000 this year and projects profitability and a million customers in 2003. With its steady revenue stream, low-tech video-on-demand alternative and flexible subscription plans, Netflix is changing the way we rent movies.Story 3 (00:30:06): The US Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has released a report detailing official sightings of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs).

The report mentions the establishment of the Department of Defense All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which the US government hopes will aid in resolving UAP sightings. The report also detailed 144 UAP sightings that had been made by “reliable” sources, largely in the military, in the 17 years between 2004-2021, with a significant number of the phenomena in the report not being easily explained.Shout Out To: @LATimes@Wired @IGNDotCom JOIN Inspired Disorder +PLUS Today!

Discovery is undergoing a period of restructuring in 2022, which has included the scrapping of several films and TV shows. Despite facing backlash for these decisions, Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels has stated that it was a necessary move. The company is now "done with that chapter" and has "command and control over the business now", looking forward to growth in the future. As part of the restructuring, more than a dozen shows, including "Westworld" and "The Nevers," will be removed from HBO Max. Warner Bros. Discovery plans to license 13 of these removed shows to third-party free ad-supported streaming (FAST) services, with the remaining shows potentially being available on FAST platforms or other streaming services. It is not yet known which FAST platforms will offer the removed shows, with Warner Bros. Discovery planning to provide more information about its own FAST offering in 2023.Story 2 (00::): Breaking news: the FDA has granted accelerated approval to Leqembi, a new treatment for Alzheimer's disease that can slow cognitive decline in patients with early stages of the disease. Leqembi is the first drug of its kind with clear evidence of effectiveness in slowing the progression of Alzheimer's, although it is not a cure. A large study found that patients in the early stages of Alzheimer's who took Leqembi saw a 27% slower rate of cognitive decline compared to those who took a placebo. However, there are potential side effects including bleeding in the brain, which patients should discuss with their doctors. Biogen and Eisai, the companies that make Leqembi, will need to request full approval based on additional studies. It is not yet clear whether Leqembi will be covered by most insurance providers under accelerated approval or if that will come later after full approval.Story 3 (00::): A video has sparked outrage online after it appears to show New York police officers allowing members of the far-right group, the Proud Boys, to ride the subway for free after they protested a drag event in Queens. The incident occurred on December 29, 2022, after members of the group clashed with supporters of the drag event at the Queens Public Library. The NYPD said they were escorting the Proud Boys out of the area and placed them on the subway to remove them before the situation could escalate further. However, the Proud Boys were allowed to ride the subway without paying, while Black and Latino New Yorkers reportedly accounted for 88% of the arrests for fare evasion in the first six months of 2022. The video has led to accusations of hypocrisy and favoritism towards the Proud Boys by the NYPD. The NYPD said they are reviewing the incident and that the officers involved will face disciplinary action if it is found that they violated any policies.Shout Out To: @igndotcom@abcnews@buzzfeednewsJOIN Inspired Disorder +PLUS Today!

Story 1 (00:00:): Actor David Harbour has plans for a "Violent Night" Cinematic Universe and has suggested that Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac join him as the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy, respectively. Harbour's idea for the universe is similar to the 2012 film "Rise of the Guardians," in which holiday characters become an Avengers-like team. However, the "Violent Night" version would be far more violent. The film, "Violent Night," follows Harbour's unconventional Santa as he fights off a group of elite mercenaries who have taken hostages in a wealthy family's compound on Christmas Eve. The film is directed by Tommy Wirkola and stars John Leguizamo, Beverly D'Angelo, Alex Hassell, Alexis Louder, Edi Patterson, Cam Gigandet, and André Eriksen in addition to Harbour as Santa.Story 2 (00::): Canadian marathoner and environmentalist Antoine Moses set a new world record by planting 23,060 saplings in less than 24 hours, breaking the previous record of 15,170 trees set by Canadian Kenny Chaplin in 2001. The feat received widespread praise on social media and the Guinness World Record website recognized it as an official achievement. Moses has planted over 1.3 million plants across Canada over the years and was supported by a crew of six people in his record-breaking effort. The video of the feat has received over 1.7 million views on social media. Deforestation is a leading cause of global warming, and planting trees is one way to combat climate change. Global leaders are currently meeting at the COP 27 summit in Egypt to discuss limiting global warming as part of the fight against climate change.Story 3 (00::): Over 6,000 children have been killed or injured by gunfire in the United States in 2022, according to the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive.

At least 306 children 11 years old or younger and 1,323 children between the ages of 12 and 17 have been killed in shootings this year.

Story 1: The toy industry is seeing growth due to the "kidults" consumer group, ages 12 and older, who are responsible for about $9 billion in toy sales annually and are drawn to merchandise such as action figures, dolls, and Lego sets that remind them of their childhoods. Toy companies have begun creating product lines specifically for this group of adults who still want to have fun. The trend of "kidulting" gained popularity in the past decade with the rise of superhero movies and comic book culture.Story 2: A US District Judge has ruled that movie studios can be sued for false advertising if they release deceptive trailers. The case involves the 2019 film Yesterday, in which two fans of Ana de Armas rented the film after seeing her in the trailer, only to discover that she was not in the final film. Universal tried to throw out the lawsuit, arguing that trailers are entitled to protection under the First Amendment and should be considered non-commercial speech. However, the judge rejected this argument, stating that trailers are commercial speech and the First Amendment does not protect against false or misleading commercial speech. This ruling could have implications for the film industry, as studios may be more careful in the content they include in trailers to avoid potential lawsuits. It remains to be seen how this ruling will be applied in practice and if it will lead to a decrease in deceptive trailers.Story 3: A mother in Michigan has been charged with cyberbullying and obstruction of justice after an investigation found she had sent harassing messages to her daughter and other teenagers under a fake name and number. Kendra Licari, 42, of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, is alleged to have used software to conceal her location and used several numbers and area codes, trying to make the messages appear to come from her daughter's classmates. Licari is also accused of sending tens of thousands of text messages in a yearlong campaign of harassment. She has been released on a $5,000 bond and her attorneys declined to comment on the charges.Shout Out To: @pubity @igndotcom @abcnews JOIN Inspired Disorder +PLUS Today!

Donald Jeffries has been researching the JFK assassination since the mid-1970s, when he was a student volunteer with Mark Lane's Citizens' Committee of Inquiry. Don is the author of "Hidden History: An Expose of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics" starting with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Don Jeffries chronicles a wide variety of issues that have plagued our country's history. Whether it is the assassinations of MLK and RFK, Iran-Contra, the Oklahoma City bombing, TWA Flight 800, voting fraud, or 9/11, every major disaster or war that we've witnessed has somehow been distorted by those who are supposed to be protecting us. Don also wrote "On Borrowed Fame: Money, Mysteries, and Corruption in the Entertainment World" which talks about the myriad of unnatural deaths which have plagued the entertainment industry since the dawn of Hollywood. The deaths of John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, and many others are scrutinized in exacting detail. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/out-of-the-blank-podcast/support
