Chewy and Eugene share 10 ideas on why you should master defense and escapes in BJJ. Here are the ideas we discussed: 1. To escape effectively, you will have less fear and worries on the mat. 2. When you become skilled defensively, you can become more aggressive with your offense. 3. Increased efficiency on the mats. 4. When you avoid training escapes then you turn into a grappler with a "glass jaw." 5. When you develop a strong defensive game, your submissions improve dramatically. 6. You get injured less when you have a good understanding of defense. 7. You can tire out your opponent more easily. 8. You will be able to weather the storm against younger and more athletic grapplers. 9. Grappling becomes more fun. 10. If you're a competitor, it gets more difficult to get scored on.

This week on Hysteria 51, we dive deep—literally and figuratively—into two bizarre stories that prove reality is way weirder than fiction.First up: A man in scuba gear robs a restaurant at Disney Springs and swims away through a lagoon like a Bond villain on spring break. It's equal parts daring heist, Florida headline, and splashy cosplay crime. Ocean's Eleven? More like Nemo's One.Then, we explore a mysterious dream phenomenon sweeping social media: complete strangers around the world are having the exact same dream—a mysterious man, an endless hallway, and an overwhelming sense of déjà vu. Are we in a simulation? Or just due for a firmware update?It's submerged theft and subconscious synchronicity all in one delightfully unhinged episode. C-Bot tries dream-hacking, and Brent forgets his floaties.Listen now before your dreams turn into true crime scenes.Links & Resources

"The wind changed direction, and I was caught in this massive fire. I screamed out to God to save me. My face was on fire, and somehow I was suddenly lifted, and floating." ---------- Jamie's life has been miraculously spared more than once. At just fifteen he was caught in a raging fire — but instead of dying, he was mysteriously floated to safety, though badly burned. Years later, in a violent South American prison, a man stood before Jamie ready to kill him. Once again, God intervened. And during what became Hurricane Earl, off the coast of Cozumel, Jamie and six others found themselves scattered in the sea with no way out. Yet all survived. As Psalm 31:15 declares, “My times are in Your hands.” Jamie's story is a gripping reminder that until God's purpose for us is complete, nothing can cut our lives short.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: When Love Escapes the Urban Jungle: Finding Peace in Silence Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-04-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Áron és Zsófi egy őszi délutánon a város szívében találkoztak.En: Áron and Zsófi met one autumn afternoon in the heart of the city.Hu: Sok levél borította az utakat, ahogy a szél vidáman sodorta őket.En: Many leaves covered the roads as the wind cheerfully swept them along.Hu: Mindketten élvezték a hűvös időjárást Budapest utcáin, amikor beléptek az Urban Jungle nevű kávézóba.En: Both enjoyed the cool weather on the streets of Budapest when they entered the café called Urban Jungle.Hu: Amint beléptek, egy sűrű dzsungel fogadta őket.En: As they walked in, they were greeted by a dense jungle.Hu: A falakat zöld növények fedték, és mindenhol indák lógtak.En: The walls were covered with green plants, and vines hung everywhere.Hu: „Imádom ezt a helyet!” kiáltotta Zsófi lelkesen, de Áron alig hallotta meg a mesterséges papagájhangoktól, amelyek a hangszórókból szóltak.En: “I love this place!” exclaimed Zsófi enthusiastically, but Áron barely heard her over the artificial parrot sounds blaring from the speakers.Hu: A kávézó tele volt emberekkel, mind körülöttük foglalták el a székeket és asztalokat.En: The café was full of people, occupying the chairs and tables all around them.Hu: Áron próbált Zsófira mosolyogni, de a zaj egyszerűen elnyomta a szavait.En: Áron tried to smile at Zsófi, but the noise simply drowned out his words.Hu: Leültek egy kis asztalhoz a sarokban, ahol leginkább a majomhuhogás volt hallható.En: They sat at a small table in the corner, where mostly monkey hoots were audible.Hu: Áron próbált figyelni Zsófi történeteire, de a fejében más járt.En: Áron tried to focus on Zsófi's stories, but his mind was elsewhere.Hu: „Hogyan lehetne ezt elviselni?” gondolta.En: “How can anyone stand this?” he thought.Hu: Áron íróember volt, és sokszor mély figyelem és csend kellett neki, hogy dolgozni tudjon.En: Áron was a writer, and he often needed deep focus and silence to work.Hu: Zsófi viszont élvezte a vibráló hangulatot.En: Zsófi, on the other hand, enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere.Hu: Hangosan mesélt arról, hogyan fedezte fel ezt a helyet, és milyen izgalmas itt ülni.En: She spoke loudly about how she discovered this place and how exciting it was to sit here.Hu: „Hallottad, hogy van élő kígyó a hátsó sarokban?” kérdezte izgatottan, de Áron csak bólintott, ahogy próbálta túlélni az újabb gorillakiáltást.En: “Did you hear there's a live snake in the back corner?” she asked excitedly, but Áron just nodded as he tried to endure another gorilla scream.Hu: Áron szorongva kezdte el a kávéját kortyolgatni, és próbálta elmondani Zsófinak az új könyv tervét.En: Áron anxiously began sipping his coffee and tried to tell Zsófi about his new book plan.Hu: De minden próbálkozását elnyomta a zaj.En: But all his attempts were drowned out by the noise.Hu: „Ha tovább maradunk, nem tudok összpontosítani” – gondolta Áron.En: “If we stay any longer, I won't be able to concentrate,” Áron thought.Hu: Ahogy a hangok egyre hangosabbak lettek, és a gorillakiáltások szinte dübörögtek, Áron érezte, hogy elérte a tűréshatárát.En: As the sounds grew louder and the gorilla screams almost thundered, Áron felt he had reached his limit.Hu: Zavartan nézett körül, majd gyengéden megérintette Zsófi karját.En: Looking around in dismay, he gently touched Zsófi's arm.Hu: „Szerintem ideje mennünk. Nem bírom elviselni ezt a zajt” – próbálta megértetni vele.En: “I think it's time to go. I can't take this noise anymore,” he tried to explain.Hu: Zsófi látta, hogy Áron kicsit feszült, ezért bólintott.En: Seeing that Áron was a bit tense, Zsófi nodded.Hu: „Oké, menjünk valahová máshová. Egy csendesebb helyre” – mosolygott rá megértően.En: “Okay, let's go somewhere else. To a quieter place,” she smiled at him understandingly.Hu: Amint kiléptek az Urban Jungle kávézóból, Áron fellélegzett.En: As soon as they stepped out of the Urban Jungle café, Áron breathed a sigh of relief.Hu: „Mit szólnál a Duna-parthoz?” javasolta.En: “How about the Danube riverbank?” he suggested.Hu: Zsófi örömmel elfogadta az ötletet, és kéz a kézben sétáltak tovább a csendesebb, nyugodtabb környezet felé.En: Zsófi happily accepted the idea, and hand in hand, they walked towards a quieter, more peaceful environment.Hu: Ahogy sétáltak, Áron úgy érezte, hogy először sikerült kicsit magabiztosabban kiállnia maga mellett, míg Zsófi kezdte felismerni, hogy néha a csend többet mond minden szónál.En: As they walked, Áron felt that, for the first time, he managed to assert himself a little more confidently, while Zsófi began to realize that sometimes silence says more than any words.

In early 1864, a group of Union prisoners made a daring escape from Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia - the capital of the Confederacy. Known for its sadistic guards and horrific conditions, Union Officers at Libby suffered from hunger, lice, and the freezing cold. In this episode, Lindsay is joined by historian Dr. Robert P. Watson, author of Escape!: The Story of the Confederacy's Infamous Libby Prison and the Civil War's Largest Jail Break. Together they discuss how the group of Union prisoners escaped against all odds.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
This Day in Legal History: First Governmental Recognition of Same-sex RelationshipsOn October 1, 1989, Denmark became the first country in the world to legally recognize same-sex relationships through its Registered Partnership Act. The law allowed homosexual couples to enter into civil unions that granted nearly all of the same legal protections and responsibilities as marriage, except for adoption rights and access to religious marriage ceremonies. The Danish parliament had passed the legislation earlier that year with a strong majority, marking a historic shift in global LGBTQ+ rights.The law was the result of more than a decade of activism by Danish LGBTQ+ rights organizations, particularly the group LBL (Landsforeningen for Bøsser og Lesbiske), which had been advocating for legal recognition since the 1970s. Public support in Denmark was relatively high by the late 1980s, aided by a culture of social liberalism and the country's strong welfare state. When the law took effect, eleven male couples and one female couple registered their partnerships at Copenhagen City Hall in a widely publicized ceremony.International reaction was mixed. Many human rights organizations hailed the Danish move as groundbreaking, while conservative and religious groups elsewhere condemned it. Still, Denmark's action inspired a gradual but undeniable trend. Over the next few decades, many other countries—including Norway, Sweden, and eventually the United States—adopted laws recognizing same-sex unions or full marriage equality.The Registered Partnership Act remained in place until Denmark legalized same-sex marriage in 2012, at which point existing partnerships could be converted into marriages. The 1989 law is now widely regarded as the legal foundation for modern same-sex union legislation worldwide, proving that structural legal change can begin in small, progressive nations and ripple outward.A high-stakes redistricting hearing began October 1, 2025, in El Paso, Texas, where a panel of three federal judges will decide whether the state's new congressional map—redrawn mid-decade—can be used in the 2026 midterms. At issue is whether the map was motivated by unconstitutional racial gerrymandering or permissible political considerations. Texas defends the redraw as a purely partisan move to benefit Republicans, which, while potentially unethical, may be legally protected under Rucho v. Common Cause (2019), a Supreme Court ruling that bars federal courts from reviewing claims of partisan gerrymandering.The plaintiffs, a coalition of minority and voting rights groups, argue that the map violates constitutional protections against racial discrimination, citing a July letter from the DOJ which had warned that the 2021 map was unlawfully racially gerrymandered. Texas initially used that letter to justify the special session called by Gov. Greg Abbott, but has since pivoted to a political defense, potentially undercutting its earlier rationale. The court has set a fast-paced schedule, allowing no opening statements and warning that it will not tolerate delays.Seven lawmakers are expected to testify, and the panel includes judges appointed by Reagan, Obama, and Trump. This same trio heard a race-based challenge to the 2021 map earlier in the year, which became moot after the legislature preemptively redrew the map. Experts say proving racial motivation will be difficult but critical, as plaintiffs cannot legally challenge maps solely for being politically gerrymandered.Texas' Political Aims on Trial as Redistricting Hearing BeginsThe U.S. government officially shut down on October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to pass a funding bill by the end of the fiscal year. The standoff has quickly become a political battle, with President Donald Trump blaming Democrats for pushing a $1.5 trillion agenda and Democrats accusing Trump of sabotaging negotiations and gutting federal programs. Trump's administration is reportedly planning mass terminations of federal workers, going beyond typical furloughs, as part of its long-standing effort to shrink the federal bureaucracy.This shutdown flips the usual script: Republicans now seek a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open, while Democrats are demanding healthcare-related provisions and curbs on Trump's spending discretion. Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are focusing on extending ACA subsidies and reversing Medicaid cuts, but unity within the party remains fragile. Trump has escalated tensions by sharing inflammatory, AI-generated content targeting Democratic leaders, prompting backlash and accusations of racism.Polling suggests that blame is spread, with a third of voters holding both parties responsible. Markets are already reacting to the uncertainty, and concerns are rising about delayed economic data. Some Republicans, including Trump allies, warn that the shutdown could politically backfire on the president, as it did during his 2018 border wall standoff.Trump, Democrats Grapple for Edge as Government Shutdown BeginsA federal judge ruled that Sigal Chattah is not lawfully serving as Nevada's acting U.S. attorney, dealing another blow to the Trump administration's approach to appointing interim federal prosecutors. Judge David G. Campbell, a George W. Bush appointee, found that Chattah's appointment violated the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA). Specifically, the Attorney General's method of designating her as a “first assistant” to qualify her for the acting role was not consistent with congressional intent under the statute.This decision echoes a similar August ruling in New Jersey, where Alina Habba was also found ineligible to serve as an acting U.S. attorney under the same legal reasoning. Courts have rejected the idea that the Attorney General can bypass standard succession rules to install political allies into key prosecutorial roles.Though Chattah's appointment was struck down, Judge Campbell denied motions to dismiss cases she oversaw, noting that Assistant U.S. Attorneys maintain independent authority and that defendants failed to show any prejudice to their cases. Additional legal challenges are still pending, including in the Central District of California against Bill Essayli, another controversial Trump acting appointment.Nevada Acting US Attorney Chattah Disqualified by US Judge (1)A California jury has found Uber not liable in the first U.S. trial over claims that one of its drivers sexually assaulted a passenger. The plaintiff, known as Jessica C., alleged that in 2016, her Uber driver pulled off the road and assaulted her during a ride. While the jury determined that Uber was negligent in implementing safety measures, it concluded that the company's negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the assault.This civil trial, held in San Francisco Superior Court, was the first bellwether case out of over 500 similar lawsuits consolidated in California state court. Another 2,500 related cases are proceeding in federal court. Bellwether trials serve as test cases to help guide broader litigation strategy or inform settlements in mass tort cases.The plaintiff's lawyers sought up to $1.2 million in compensatory damages per year of her life but did not request a specific amount in punitive damages. They argued Uber failed to take obvious safety steps, like assigning female riders to female drivers or requiring dash cams, despite knowing about widespread assault risks.Uber denied liability for the criminal acts of its drivers and pointed to improvements in its safety protocols, such as enhanced background checks, safety reports, and in-app security tools. Nonetheless, Uber remains under scrutiny. A recent congressional inquiry and ongoing criticism highlight lingering concerns about the company's handling of rider safety.Uber found not liable in first US trial over driver sexual assault claims | Reuters This is a public episode.

Story Transcript:Da: Søren kigger ud af bilvinduet.En: Søren looks out of the car window.Da: Landskabet glider forbi i smukke efterårsfarver.En: The landscape slides by in beautiful autumn colors.Da: Træerne er fyldt med gyldne og røde blade.En: The trees are filled with golden and red leaves.Da: "Det er dejligt at være væk fra byen," siger han stille.En: "It's nice to be away from the city," he says quietly.Da: Mette smiler, men der er en antydning af bekymring i hendes øjne.En: Mette smiles, but there is a hint of worry in her eyes.Da: "Ja, men vi må forberede os på min familie," siger hun forsigtigt.En: "Yes, but we must prepare for my family," she says cautiously.Da: De nærmer sig familiens sommerhus, som ligger på kanten af en rolig skov.En: They approach the family's summer house, which is situated on the edge of a tranquil forest.Da: Huset ser hyggeligt ud med sin røde facade og stråtag.En: The house looks cozy with its red facade and thatched roof.Da: Det knitrer let i vinden, som om det hilser dem velkommen.En: It crackles gently in the wind, as if it welcomes them.Da: Da Søren og Mette går ind, bliver de mødt af Mette's mor, som straks begynder at tale om alt og intet.En: When Søren and Mette enter, they are met by Mette's mother, who immediately begins talking about everything and nothing.Da: Søren føler sig straks overvældet af støjen.En: Søren immediately

sig for at tage en tur.En: He decides to take a walk.Da: "Jeg har brug for lidt luft," siger han til Mette, som nikker forstående.En: "I need some air," he says to Mette, who nods understandingly.Da:

frem og begynder at tegne.En: He takes out his sketchbook and begins to draw.Da: Tilbage i huset begynder middagen.En: Back in the house, dinner begins.Da: Stemningen bliver anspændt, da gamle uoverensstemmelser kommer frem.En: The atmosphere becomes tense as old disagreements surface.Da: Mette kæmper for at holde freden, men hendes anstrengelser virker forgæves.En: Mette struggles to keep the peace, but her efforts seem futile.Da: Så træder Søren ind igen.En: Then Søren steps in again.Da: Hans ansigt stråler af en ny fundet inspiration.En: His face shines with newfound inspiration.Da: "Jeg har noget at vise jer," siger han og lægger sin skitseblok på bordet.En: "I have something to show you," he says, placing his sketchbook on the table.Da: Skitsen viser en scene fra skoven, men ikke bare naturen – også en familie, siddende sammen, smilende.En: The sketch shows a scene from the forest, but not just the nature – also a family, sitting together, smiling.Da: Da de ser Sørens arbejde, falder rummet til ro.En: As they see Søren's work, the room falls silent.Da: Mette's familie ser de smukke detaljer og den dybe forståelse mellem figurerne.En: Mette's family sees the beautiful details and the deep understanding between the figures.Da: Tegningen taler til dem på en måde, ord ikke kunne.En: The drawing speaks to them in a way words could not.Da: Spændingerne opløses langsomt, og en ny fornemmelse af samhørighed breder sig.En: The tensions slowly dissolve, and a new feeling of togetherness spreads.Da: Søren ser Mette i øjnene.En: Søren looks into Mette's eyes.Da: Hun smiler varmt til ham, lettet.En: She smiles warmly at him, relieved.Da: De har fundet en måde at forene deres verdener på.En: They have found a way to unite their worlds.Da: Søren har ikke kun fundet kunstnerisk inspiration, men også en dybere forståelse af forbindelse og tilhørsforhold.En: Søren has not only found artistic inspiration but also a deeper understanding of connection and belonging.Da: I aftenens stille, efterårsagtige atmosfære har de alle lært noget nyt.En: In the evening's quiet, autumn-like atmosphere, they have all learned something new.Da: Søren har fundet sit kunstneriske mod, og Mette har lært at balancere kærlighed og ansvar.En: Søren has found his artistic courage, and Mette has learned to balance love and responsibility.Da: Efterhånden som mørket falder, glider spændingerne væk, og kun hyggen fra flikkrende stearinlys fylder rummet.En: As darkness falls, the tensions fade away, and only the coziness from flickering candles fills the room.

From the chilling 1874 case that coined 'don't take candy from strangers' to Patty Hearst's transformation from heiress to bank robber, journey through true tales of kidnapping where victims outsmarted their captors, others never escaped, and some didn't want to. These are the abduction stories you've never heard—told by the survivors themselves and featuring cases of Stockholm Syndrome that challenge everything we think we know about survival.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: “Don't take candy from strangers” - that warning stemmed from a real kidnapping in 1874, made even more history-making by being the first kidnapping in U.S. history to demand money for the child's safe return. (The First U.S. Kidnapping For Ransom) *** I'll share true kidnapping stories told by the victims – stories you've never heard, because none of them made the evening news. (True Stories of Abduction) *** In some kidnapping cases, the victim outsmarts their abductor. We'll look at a few quick-thinking abductees whose out-of-the-box thinking and determination to survive helped them to escape their captors. (They Outsmarted Their Kidnappers) *** In some cases of kidnapping, the victims have an opportunity to escape – but don't. They even try to help those who abducted them in the first place. In many cases this indicates the victim is suffering from a terrifying type of brainwashing we've come to know as Stockholm Syndrome – and we'll look at a few famous cases of it. (True Cases of Stockholm Syndrome) *** A beautiful California co-ed was kidnapped in 1974 - and two months later, she burst into a bank with a machine gun. We'll look at how Stockholm Syndrome changed 19-year-old wealthy heiress Patty Hearst into a cold-blooded bank robber.

The Vermont DesperadoAd-Free Safe House EditionEpisode 386 tells the epic story of one of New England's most persistent scoundrels. It's the kind of story I delight in finding, that in another context would make a great Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiaasen novel, this one about a slippery but dim-witted thief, that would almost be comic if there wasn't a tragic loss of life in Act II, and even when he gets his come-uppance in Act III, there's still a couple of strange twists in the tale.

Located amid the treacherous waters of the San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary was designed to hold the most-wanted prisoners in America, and developed a reputation as an unbreakable fortress. But from the moment Frank Lee Morris set foot on the island in 1962, he was determined to break free. Together, with three other conspirators, he hatched a cunning plan that would become one of the most elaborate attempts at a prison break in history, defying a prison crawling with guards and surrounded by chilly ocean waters, in their unlikely bid for freedom.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

In February 1864, more than 100 Union Army officers broke out of Libby Prison, an infamous Confederate prisoner of war compound in Richmond, Virginia. It was the largest prison break of the Civil War. Libby held more than 1,000 Union officers who were crammed into the former tobacco warehouse. They faced rampant illness, meager rations, and constant abuse from sadistic guards.As conditions worsened and the death toll mounted, a small crew of prisoners resolved to escape. Working in secret, they excavated a narrow tunnel out of Libby's rat-infested cellar in a daring attempt to dig their way to freedom.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
