What happens when women become the clients — and men become the product?In this episode of The StickyBeak, Monika O'Hanlon goes behind the scenes of Her Confidant, Australia's first male escort agency, founded by Anna Grosman.While conversations about sex work often focus on female sex workers, male escorts and the women who hire them offer a fascinating and rarely explored perspective. Through Anna's story, we explore female sexuality, male escorts, intimacy, emotional connection, loneliness, pleasure and the changing dynamics of sex work.What are women actually paying for when they hire a male escort? Is it sex, companionship, confidence, intimacy — or something else entirely?With warmth and curiosity, this episode explores the realities of male escorting and sex work in Australia, as well as the stigma and double standards that can surround women's sexual desire.This is a conversation about sex, intimacy, power, loneliness and what happens when women are finally given permission to be the ones doing the choosing.Note: This episode is told largely from a heteronormative perspective. Monika acknowledges the gaps and would love to explore women-on-women pleasure, queer sex work and LGBTQIA+ experiences of intimacy in a future episode.Thanks to Anna Grosman for jumping on the pod.

What began with a few lone migratory birds is now spreading through our native populations, and while conservationists welcome the more than $113 million already invested to get us prepared - they say now that it's here, more needs to be put on the table. In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Jack Gough, CEO of the Invasive Species Council, who's urging the Albanese Government to commit at least $200 million to help our wildlife survive what's coming. He explains what that money would go towards, what species are most at risk, and how the strain can move from low risk in humans to a higher one.

What if intimacy in later life isn't really about sex at all?In this episode of Sex Advice for Seniors, I speak with George Goulburn, a straight male escort in his 50s, who works with women in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and even 80s.What he shares challenges almost every assumption about escorting, desire, and connection in later life.Far from quick, transactional encounters, George's clients are seeking something deeper: emotional connection, safety, touch, and the chance to feel seen and desired again, often after years or even decades without intimacy.We explore what women really want as they age, how confidence and sexual identity evolve, and why honest conversations about desire are still so rare.This episode is honest, surprising, and deeply human, and it might just change how you think about intimacy in later life.Getting started with sex toys?GITM PLAYBOOK has a fabulous range of toys, plus a handy guide to help you pick the ones that suit you best.Use my code: SUZANNE20 for 20% off.ABOUT SUZANNE:Suzanne Noble is a sex and relationship expert, author, and host of the Sex Advice for Seniors podcast—one of the top-rated shows empowering people 50+ to embrace confident, joyful intimacy.

In 2024, Meida Marek (her online pseudonym), was a recent college graduate working an entry-level finance job when she started doing the mental math that's fast becoming a rite of passage in such industries: What happens when AI can do this better than I can? So Marek took inventory. She was intelligent and naturally supportive. She was good at talking to people. She likes futurist rabbit holes: AI, biohacking, cryptocurrency, the sort of topics that can turn dinner into a three-hour debate. So she decided to turn that toolkit into a new career—and became an escort. For Marek, it's sex work with a particular angle: high-end companionship for Silicon Valley's most online, most technical clients—often the kind who work in AI or around it. Lately, she's been getting a lot of clients from Nvidia. There are only a handful of women like Marek. And like their clientele, they are also killing it financially.

We discuss sexual and emotional infidelity, and whether couples can get over infidelity. We talk about when and why escorts fall in love with their clients, and when men fall in love with escorts.

Wenn wir montags oder donnerstags aufgenommen haben, sind wir feiern gegangen. Dann haben die Jungs, hauptsächlich die Laberpodcaster, sich Escorts gerufen, obwohl die Freundinnen in ihren Städten hatten, und haben Partys mit denen gemacht.

A Forbes investigation by Anna Tong put a number on something Silicon Valley wasn't talking about: a small group of high-end escorts charging AI founders thousands an hour, and selling intellectual conversation about GPUs, crypto, and longevity alongside the sex.This episode breaks down the reporting and the economics behind it. The rates are the headline. Aella, an escort and self-described data scientist, charges $6,000 an hour, the highest rate in the piece, and is credited with coining the "nerd-first" label. Meida Marek charges $3,500 an hour and says she's booked months out. Talia Sable, a former programmer who lists Dungeons & Dragons and supply chain logistics among her interests, charges $3,000. Forbes cites figures up to $23,000 a day and $30,000 a weekend, where five years ago it was rare to charge more than $1,000 an hour.The why is the part worth sitting with. It's a lens on how the AI gold rush is reshaping social life in the Valley, where founders raising at huge valuations and working 100-hour weeks deprioritize ordinary relationships, and a market fills the gap with transactional intimacy that doubles as founder therapy.There's also a labor angle that ties this directly to the AI story. Marek left an entry-level finance job because she grew anxious that AI would automate her career, then pivoted to a relational skill she figured a model couldn't replicate. We cover that bet, whether it holds, and the obvious risks around discretion when founders talk freely in private.A note on the numbers: most of these rates are self-reported marketing, and people in adjacent corners of the industry have publicly called them inflated. Treat them as claimed, not audited.Silicon Valley AI boom, nerdy escorts, intimacy as a service, AI founders, Aella, Meida Marek, Anna Tong Forbes, AI economy, automation, future of work, tech wealth.

Disabled men are rarely able to get their sexual needs filled. That's where Sonia comes in - she not only offers specific services as an escort to accommodate disabled clients, but also gives them a discount. They make up much of her clientele, and have shaped her outlook on both work and life. We chatted about her experiences in sex work - not just with disabled clients, but with pro submission, 6 week trips with clients, her female clientele and so much more.

What happened to just renting a limo for prom night?! In this hilarious and jaw-dropping conversation, the crew dives into the wild new trend of over-the-top prom celebrations — including helicopter entrances, police escorts, flaming jet skis, and one stunt that literally exploded. As parents and teens push prom culture to outrageous new levels, one family is even facing legal trouble after a grand entrance went completely sideways. Is modern prom becoming more expensive than weddings? And where does it stop from here?

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, the US pauses its “Project Freedom” escort mission in the Strait of Hormuz while maintaining its naval blockade on Iran, as mediation continues through Pakistan. We also look at a new UN Security Council resolution drafted by the US and Gulf states aimed at protecting shipping routes and removing sea mines from the waterway. In Washington, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says a peace deal between Lebanon and Israel appears achievable, despite continued attacks between Hezbollah and Israeli forces. In the UAE, President Sheikh Mohamed praises the Armed Forces ahead of the 50th anniversary of their unification, following missile and drone attacks linked to the Iran conflict. And in Fujairah, the first completed Etihad Rail passenger station is unveiled ahead of the launch of passenger services later this year. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.

In Hour 1, Segment 1 of The Tara Show (May 4, 2026), Tara discusses the launch of U.S. “Freedom Escorts” in the Strait of Hormuz—an initiative to have the U.S. military guide commercial ships safely through the contested waterway amid heightened tensions involving Iran. While Tara expresses skepticism about the policy, questioning its risks, strategic clarity, and potential to escalate U.S. involvement in the region, retired General Jack Keane offers a more supportive or measured perspective, emphasizing the importance of maintaining open global shipping lanes and deterring Iranian interference. The segment centers on this disagreement, highlighting a broader debate over whether the escorts are a necessary show of strength and stability or an avoidable step toward deeper military entanglement.

The U.S. moves to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran warns of retaliation. Plus, Spirit Airlines shuts down, stranding passengers and eliminating thousands of jobs. Now the political blame game is underway. And two U.S. service members vanish during a training exercise in Morocco. The search is underway Monday morning. These stories and more highlight your Unbiased Updates for Friday, May 4, 2026.

Dave Marquess grew up inside a reality most people only glimpse in headlines. Raised by a meth cook and heroin addict, his childhood was less about homework and more about survival. By eighth grade, violence had already entered the story. By his teens, he was moving through a world of escorts, hustles, and whatever could be stolen, stripped, and sold. PCP showed up early. Heroin followed. At one point, he even called his own mother to learn how to shoot it.The crash was inevitable. Jail forced a brutal detox and a confrontation with everything he had been outrunning. What came next was not a clean, cinematic turnaround but something more interesting. He started rebuilding from a place he had abandoned long ago: his childhood creativity.Dave tapped back into his artistic instincts and turned them into something functional, designing a game specifically for people in recovery. Not as a gimmick, but as a tool. A way to engage addicts in their own healing using strategy, storytelling, and choice. The same mind that once engineered survival in the streets now builds systems for growth.This conversation moves through trauma, accountability, and the strange alchemy of turning pain into purpose. It is about what happens when someone stops trying to escape their story and instead rewrites the rules of the game entirely.Check out Dave's games hereConnect with Dave on InstagramDM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

A Wall Street Journal report examines backlash after Jimmy Kimmel joked about Melania Trump being a “widow” during a monologue amid heightened political tensions. The comments drew sharp criticism from conservatives and Trump allies, reigniting debate over late‑night comedy’s role in politics and the line between satire and provocation. A federal appeals court ruled the Pentagon can temporarily require journalists to travel with military escorts in certain conflict zones. The decision backs the Defense Department’s security concerns, while press‑freedom groups warn it could limit independent reporting and access to information. A National Review column argues that Governor Gavin Newsom’s $19 million national ad campaign has failed to improve California’s reputation. The piece says glossy ads can’t mask ongoing problems like high costs, crime, homelessness, and population loss, warning that image‑polishing won’t replace substantive policy fixes. The U.S. Army is rolling out a new Combat Field Test (CFT) for frontline soldiers—seven continuous events in 30 minutes, all while wearing full battle gear. Test events include a mile run, push-ups, sprint, sandbag lifts, water can carries, a movement drill, and a second mile run.

Sarah Longwell and Elliot Williams explain a series of legal fights that go to the core of how the country operates—from whether birthright citizenship could actually be undone, to a new immigration detention policy that could keep people locked up for years.They also discuss the Pentagon's escalating clash with the press and what it means for the First Amendment and the surreal push to rewrite the January 6th attack on the Capitol.Correction (March 31, 2026, 9:20 p.m. EDT): Elliot Williams mistakenly mentioned San Antonio, Texas as the location of a court conducting legal proceedings involving abortion pills; in fact, the court is in Amarillo, Texas.

In this episode, we shift our attention from the Trump administration to the winner of the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate in Texas, state legislator and Presbyterian seminarian, James Talarico. Even before prevailing in that contest earlier this month, Talarico had been having something of a moment, appearing on Ezra Klein's podcast, being profiled by the New Yorker, and generating a wave of media coverage, much of it focused on Talarico's Christian faith, his criticisms of the religious right, and what it all might mean for his political prospects in a state that remains stubbornly red. We explore what we like and what we find frustrating about Talarico's attempt to mix religious rhetoric and populism; how he navigates the complexities of speaking the language of a particular religious tradition in an increasingly secular, pluralistic society; Dr. King, the Civil Rights Movement, and prophetic religion; the place of religion on the left, and how it differs from the religious right; Herbert McCabe and socialism; and more.

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Matt and Doug discuss the reported US invasion of Iran and warn it could escalate unpredictably and badly, potentially toward a wider regional conflict or even World War III. They argue information from the war zone is unreliable, but note Iran's missile/drone capabilities and the economic asymmetry of expensive US interceptors versus cheap attacks. They criticize launching strikes during negotiations, question US motives tied to Israel and long-standing regional history, and describe risks around the Strait of Hormuz for oil, gas, and fertilizer flows. They debate claims about attacks on Gulf targets, possible Israeli involvement, and confusion over downed aircraft, while highlighting how infrastructure like data centers and banking systems can become targets. The conversation shifts to markets (gold, oil, selected stocks), and broader "greater depression" themes about public crisis-blindness, government growth, inflation, and household financial stress. 00:00 War Breaks Out 01:33 Bases Everywhere  03:19 Fog of War 05:20 Costly Interceptors 05:59 Why Are We Involved 08:17 Israel and US Aid 11:29 Religious End Times 15:33 Iran Strikes Back 17:26 Negotiations Then Attack 24:09 Strait of Hormuz Risks 25:19 Escorts and Escalation 28:11 Cyber and Infrastructure 30:02 Who Hit the Refineries 30:38 False Flags and Mossad Claims 31:47 Fifteen Shootdown Mystery 33:48 Casualties and Interceptor Costs 35:07 Boots on Ground and Kurds 37:32 Markets Gold and Oil Plays 41:44 Why People Miss Crises 49:29 Greater Depression Timeline 50:13 How Iran War Ends 50:59 Assassinations and Nuclear Risk 54:12 Wrap Up and Audience Questions

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday we are welcomed back by podcast guest regular: Rape, trafficking, and abduction survivor, overcomer and warrior, devoted wife and loving mother, podcast host, content creator, author and blogger, singer and performer, vocal coach, entrepreneur, Epstein, Trump, and Ghislane Maxwell Recruit, beauty queen - past and present, and someone I've been honored to call a long-term dear friend, Molly Skye Brown. A little bit about Molly if you are new to her story, and what we will be discussing today.Born in the sun-soaked suburbs of California, Molly Skye Brown entered the world with a voice destined to echo far beyond her years. From a young age, she was a prodigy: an honor student, classically trained vocalist, and aspiring lawyer, with dreams as vast as the Atlantic horizon. But beneath this promising facade lurked early shadows of horror. At just nine years old, Molly endured a brutal rape, the first in a series of assaults that would test her resilience to its core. The first brush with the Epstein-Maxwell web came in 1992, when Molly was only 14 or 15, working at a local gym in Jupiter to earn a free membership. Dressed modestly in a sports bra and shorts after her shift, she caught the eye of Ghislaine Maxwell, who approached her with a business card and a predatory gleam. "You could easily pass for 18," Maxwell said, dangling offers of Victoria's Secret modeling gigs complete with international travel and massages. Trauma compounded in Molly's late teens and early twenties. Abducted and raped by a producer at an MTV event in 2000, she spiraled into depression, flunking out of school and hiding her pain. A year later, haunted by suicidal ideations on the assault's anniversary, she checked into Columbia Hospital in Palm Beach for help. There, fate twisted cruelly: her roommate was Lisa Villanu, a 19-year-old recruiter born into the trafficking world, who outranked her own parents in their shadowy hierarchy. Lisa befriended Molly, learning of her vulnerabilities, and soon lured her into the Epstein orbit under the guise of friendship.In late 2001, shortly after 9/11, Lisa drove Molly to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion for what was pitched as a casual holiday gathering. Instead, it was a meticulously orchestrated "matchmaking" event - a marketplace of exploitation where young women were paraded before wealthy men. Repulsed, Molly resisted, noting the red flags - the drug offers, the private "meetings," and the young girl asleep in a red-lit room amid making-out adults.But the past resurfaced in 2019 when news of Epstein's arrest triggered memories. Molly pieced together the puzzle: the gym recruiter was Maxwell, the party was a trafficking hub. Speaking out on social media and podcasts, she faced vicious backlash - and endless harassment from alleged Epstein victims and survivors - which is what we will be talking about and exposing today along with her revelations about Trump, Maxwell and Epstein and the information that has been deliberately suppressed and covered up through the limited hangout ‘Epstein Files' and narrative controlled by mainstream media and mainstream ‘alt media'.

In this episode, we break down how Uber Freight posted flat Q4 results but finally achieved breakeven profitability through disciplined cost measures. We also discuss the company's pivot toward autonomous trucking as a long-term strategy to drive higher asset utilization. On the asset-based side, we analyze why losses continue at Heartland Express as the carrier navigates costly fleet integrations and a soft market. Despite recording its tenth consecutive net loss, the company's improving operating margins offer a glimmer of hope for a turnaround. Regulatory news takes center stage as the EPA targets truck engine makers to investigate widespread DEF system failures causing "limp mode" incidents. This major shift aims to treat equipment reliability as a manufacturer quality issue rather than a driver compliance problem. Global instability forces the Gemini Alliance to rely on military forces to secure Red Sea voyages, even as other carriers continue to divert around Africa. Back home, the industry faces a bureaucratic paradox where 65,000 new visas are available but remain inaccessible due to a State Department freeze. Finally, we examine the broader economic fallout as weak freight demand triggers facility closures and layoffs across the logistics and manufacturing sectors. With over 3,000 jobs cut since mid-January, the industry is questioning how much leaner operations can get.
