When Armin Samii signed up to deliver food for Uber Eats, his intentions were to explore his city, and help pay off his new bike. He soon realised the app was poorly configured for cyclists, and uncovered glitches including a non-existent branch of McDonald's. But getting support from Uber was frustrating. When he believed they were also underestimating his mileage - and therefore underpaying him - he used his background as a computer coder to create ‘Uber Cheats', a Chrome extension that got the attention of gig workers around the world. In conversation with Olly, he sheds light on life as a gig worker and considers the future of worker's rights. The company has not acknowledged any systemic error in how distances are calculated. An Uber spokesperson told us: "More drivers and couriers are choosing to earn on Uber than ever before and we know that the vast majority are satisfied with their experience. "The Uber app reviews real-time information to provide the best price to appeal to the drivers or couriers in the area, helping to minimise waiting times for customers and maximise earnings. Our matching tools follow a process that balances a number of different factors such as time and distance to provide the best possible experience for everyone using the app." —----- Meanwhile, in The Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart investigates the trend for gourmet sandwiches. Do they really taste better, or are they just for showing off on Instagram? Olly and Ollie head to award-winning London sandwich shop Sandwich Sandwich to taste for themselves…  After studying sandwich influencers Max Halley and Sensational Sandwiches, can Ollie go viral with his own take on a Steak Frites Entrecote sandwich? —----- Elsewhere, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox investigates the legal status of consensual non-monogamy. For example, can a thruple inherit each other's possessions when they die, as married couples can? What paperwork exists to evidence each part of a polycule?  With the help of lawyers Rachel Frost-Smith and Lucy Bluck, and phychotherapist DK Green, Alix has the answers… … and, in light of research from BackMarket about the increasing issue of sex toy e-waste, Alix discovers that ‘Vibrators' are now an official category for ‘Small Electricals' recycling in the UK!  —----- Music this month comes from Mann-favourite Self Esteem. After a few years moonlighting in the West End, she's back with new track, If Not Now, It's Soon'  BUY US A BEER Your support keep this show going! So, if you can afford to, please buy us a beer

California wildfires ripped through L.A. this year, killing 29 people, destroying more than 18,000 buildings, and putting wildland fires back into the headlines. But what's it like being one of the poorly-paid workers sent in to risk your life to fight the flames?  Wildland firefighter Nathan Bell has ‘held the line' across the United States: in Elk City, Idaho; on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in Utah; and in the desert conditions of Sedona, Arizona. For 16 hour workdays, for weeks away from home, he will hike up a mountainside towards a raging fire with a 40 pound backpack on his shoulders, and a chainsaw over his shoulder. And his starting salary is less than a worker at Burger King...

Imagine building a brand from scratch, and running your business for fifteen years - only to be told by a global corporation that your name isn't yours to keep.  That's what happened to Rebecca Dowdeswell, founder of waxing business NKD, when she received a legal letter from cosmetics giant L'Oréal, opposing her application to renew her trademark. In this compelling conversation with Olly, Rebecca takes us inside her David vs. Goliath battle against one of the world's biggest corporations; a tale of perseverance, justice, and the high price of standing your ground.

Why are so many restaurants closing down? Across Britain, the hospitality industry is facing unprecedented challenges. Twelve months ago, it was the turn of chef Tony Rodd. His passion for food saw him progress from hosting dinner parties for friends, to being a Masterchef runner-up, to eventually opening his dream London restaurant - Copper & Ink, in affluent Blackheath. But the dream unravelled. Crippled by Covid, increasing energy costs, VAT bills and ‘no-shows', he shut up shop in 2024. One year later, he's back, with an intimate new restaurant in Broadstairs. In this engaging interview with Olly, he explains how he's making it work… this time, on his own terms. _______ Meanwhile, in The Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart steps out into the cold night air to investigate the trend for smart telescopes, which combine automated star alignment and wireless connectivity to capture incredible images of the night sky. How easy is it to find stars and take photos of them? What is driving the interest in astrophotography? And are they a worthy upgrade to an old-fashioned eye-piece? With a Vaonis Hestia by his side, Ollie reveals all... _______ Elsewhere, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox discovers how sound effects are created for erotic audiobooks, and tackles a question from a listener who wants to know about anal botox. Can bum injections reduce pain during anal play, heal fissures, and relax muscles for easier intercourse? Dr. Evan Goldstein, aka “The Bottom Whisperer,” certainly thinks so… … Alix considers the potential downsides, and investigates other aesthetic trends for 2025, from anal bleaching to skin tag removal, ‘scrotox' and ‘showtox'. _______ Music-wise, our record of the month comes from The Lumineers, whose new single Same Old Song spearheads their fantastic new album, Automatic._______ SUPPORT US: We're a completely independent podcast.

Today, on The David Knight Show, Gardner Goldsmith (from MRCTV and LibertyConspiracy.com) fills in for David and digs into the breaking news that Donald Trump has named Dr. Jay Battacharya to be his nominee to become the next Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). While this might see the doctor bring about some quick changes to the staff and short-term 'policy' positions of the NIH, it does not address bigger, more fundamental matters. For Mr. Trump, the focus is supposed to be on the US Constitution, which does not allow the existence of the NIH on a federal level. Dr. Battachrya validly has cited the federal government for censoring him by pressuring social media, and it is a short-term positive that he can more widely spread his message of opposition to the lockdowns and try to reform the NIH. But the NIH requires complete elimination, not merely reform. Also in Hour One, Gard discusses the philosophical axiom that all political systems are draws from personal autonomy and one's own, God-given, right to adjudge for oneself what helps or hinders his life and efforts, his safety or his ability to prosper. This not only applies to medical health, which politicians, bureaucrats, and pop media figures oft mislabel 'public' health (there is only individual health, and citing a 'public' that the government fabulates is a negation of the individual), it also applies to information, and to so-called 'police protection.' Soon in Hour One, Gardner shows us how YouTube continues to stifle free speech, ostensibly to protect the 'public health,' as well known medical commentator and researcher Dr. John Campbell notes he has just been demonetized and warned by YT to stop talking about some of the alarming information he has offered re the mRNA jabs.In Hour Two, Gardner studies the new reports of FEMA mismanagement in storm ravaged areas of North Carolina while Joe Biden attempts to send tens of billions of dollars more to Ukraine. The contrast is stark, it mirrors the UK government sending money and weapons to Ukraine while, as reporter and comedian Chay Bowes notes in a clip Gard shows, "Pensioners are lacking heat at home," and it also allows us to note that FEMA not only is unconstitutional, but it runs counter to the original philosophy supporting the Founders and the US Constitution. Gard also covers the news of a potential ceasefire in Lebanon, and then welcomes Jason Barker, creator of The Knights of the Storm (here is a link: Podcast | The Knights Of The Storm) and host of The Foxhole podcast. Jason and Gard delve into the tradition of Thanksgiving, local connections, the messages of Christ, and more, as we prepare for the traditional American holiday on Thursday.In Hour Three, Gardner explores the history of Thanksgiving, from the Pilgrims leaving England to live in free-market Holland, to them getting investors/sponsors to travel to the New World, to the lesson they and Plymouth Plantation leader William Bradford learned about the destructive nature of collectivism and the liberating nature of private property respect. That, and news about an expansion of Social Security payments to people who never paid in to it, plus a breaking story about Kamala Harris' campaign paying half-a-million dollars to Al Sharpton's non-profit, juuuust prior to Sharpton interviewing Harris for MSNBC.Thank you, all, for viewing and sharing, and please visit Jason on X at @RealJasonBarker and join Gard for Liberty Conspiracy each M-F at 6 PM eastern, on Rumble, Rokfin, and his X @gardgoldsmith and visit Gardner's Substack, here: (100) Gardner Goldsmith | SubstackIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-show Or you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7 Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to DavidKnight.gold for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to TrendsJournal.com and enter the code KNIGHTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Trashed rooms. Plastic sheeting. Dodgy ductwork. When Mike Senior returned to his rental property in Cambridge, he uncovered a scene straight out of a crime drama. In this interview with Olly, he reveals how some tenants from Gumtree turned his Dream Home into a landlord's nightmare…  _______ Meanwhile, in the Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart investigates the trend for A.I.-assisted recruitment.  Employers, he discovers, are using machine learning to whittle down candidates, read CVs and reduce biases. Applicants are hacking their jobsearch with “prompt engineering”, hidden fonts, and generative interview prep. … Is it still possible to get a job with inter-personal skills and chutzpah?  And can he uncover a recipe to beat the bots?  _______ Elsewhere, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox - fresh from the ‘You Me Bum Bum Train' building site - has advice for a fifty-something Mannfan whose libido has reduced dramatically. Though physically capable, his emotional and mental energy are drained by health issues, caregiving, and stress. Could counselling, lifestyle changes, and a change of scene help him get his mojo back? And why do so many people seem to believe that if a man can get hard, there's nothing to worry about? _______ Finally, our record of the month is ‘She's Got A Problem' from Hastings rock-trio HotWax

Sarah McCammon's upbringing was steeped in evangelical culture—raised as a Charismatic Christian in Kansas City, Missouri, she asked God for salvation at just two years old.  Soon she was ‘street witnessing', trying to convert strangers to her mega-church; praying at family dinners for the salvation of her atheist grandfather; and crediting Jesus for healing her stubbed toe.  As a teen, she followed the expected path: wearing a purity ring, committing to abstinence before marriage, attending a Christian university, getting married, and starting a family. But then, she left it all behind. In this candid conversation with Olly, Sarah—now a national political correspondent for NPR—unpacks the emotional, social, and political forces that shaped her beliefs, and ultimately led her to walk away from the evangelical world.  Offering a compelling insider's view of life within the movement, she delves into the personal cost of leaving her faith, and explains the deep connection between white evangelicals and their unwavering support for Donald Trump. Sarah's book, The Exvangelicals, is out now. _______ Meanwhile, in The Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart takes on the challenge of preparing for the Government's infamous ‘Life in the UK' test. Although already a British citizen, Ollie has been swotting up to answer a dozen real-life questions from the extensive pool of questions that aspiring citizens must study. Can he correctly respond to the required 75%? With topics ranging from British history to culture and law—and a £50 fee per attempt—he and Olly soon realise just how tricky and unpredictable these questions can be… _______ Elsewhere, in the Foxhole, Alix Fox - fresh from a surprisingly intimate moment with the Teletubbies - considers the ethics of hiring a sex worker. Is it ever truly possible to ensure prostitutes have not been trafficked by criminal gangs? What distinctions exist between the proposed decriminalization and legalisation of sex work? And even if women choose to enter the field due to poverty and desperation - does that necessarily mean they are victims? With the help of sex worker-turned-author and comedian Kaytlin Bailey and the English Collective of Prostitutes, Alix gives this sticky quandary her very best shot… _______ Finally, the music Making Us Happy this month… is Jason Derulo's Make Me Happy

What does it mean to go beyond shallow community and find real brotherhood? In this episode, Steve Sargent describes how God turned every part of his story—even the messiest parts—into a beautiful symphony. From overcoming addiction to learning to live authentically, Steve shares powerful wisdom for all dads, no matter your past.    Key Takeaways   Avoid getting stuck in a shallow community; don't be afraid to get deep.  Life stories without trauma and chaos are just as significant and victorious as stories with those elements.  If you want an authentic relationship with your kids, you have to pull back the veil and share your story with them.  Foxhole Symphony means that God is making something beautiful out of your mess—mud, bullets, and shrapnel included.   Steve Sargent   As a pure adrenaline junkie, facilitator, speaker, and entrepreneur, Steve Sargent spent most of his life chasing the next high, even in ministry roles. As such, God has shown him how to use this gift and calling to help people and organizations become the best version of themselves. Steve and his wife, Christina, have two children.    Key Quotes   5:14 - "These guys [from the 12 step program] loved on me. They showed me and modeled authentic community. They discipled me. They gave me a job. They said, here's some work. Here are the stipulations, you're going to a 12 step meeting every day. You're coming to a Bible study every night, church twice on Sunday. And that was the beginning. That was the beginning when I got to understand what God intended with community and discipleship. And I've just been on fire for it and hungry for it ever since." 34:46 - "It's God making beautiful music out of our mess. That's the symphony. There's men coming together in the foxhole. There's shrapnel, there's bullets flying, there's mud, it's messy, it's dirty, it's scary. There's all this adrenaline and emotion and we've got each other's backs and God just makes something beautiful out of it. He takes it all and wraps it up and there's just this beautiful symphony that results from the offering, the willingness and the offering to offer that mess to God. He'll use it all, but we've got to offer it to Him. Otherwise it's just our mess that we hold on to in isolation, in darkness, just gripping on to it.

In a missing persons investigation, the initial hours and days are crucial.  Establishing a relationship with the missing person's family, absorbing their behavioural characteristics, and managing media interest in the story are all essential parts of the toolkit for officers charged with finding them alive. But, 27 years ago, when Charlie Hedges MBE was assigned his first missing persons case, such protocols did not exist. He found institutional inertia and complacency where there should have been dedication and service - and set out to right that wrong. In this compelling conversation with Olly, Charlie looks back over his career finding missing people - including Dr David Kelly, April Jones and Ashya King - and reveals the techniques and temperament necessary for the job, especially in these days of internet sleuths and social media speculation.  Charlie's book, Missing, is out now, published by Hachette. _______ Meanwhile, in The Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart channels his inner James Martin to kick up a storm in Olly's kitchen: specifically, a five-course meal made entirely using air fryers. With the help of AirFryerGirl and ProCook, Ollie impresses with a delicious molten Camembert and honey-mustard pork - but is frankly rather let down by his raw carrot crisps. Along the way, the boys consider whether the popularity of air fryers will last beyond the cost of living crisis, uncover which tabletop gadgets will become the next kitchen must-haves, and ask why Tiktokers don't provide recipe PDFs… _______ Elsewhere, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox uncovers the trend for ‘CEI' humiliation videos, and assists a Mann-fan whose daughter wants to reject the HPV vaccine - because she's a lesbian. In collaboration with gynaecological cancer charity The Eve Appeal, Alix discovers why the HPV vaccine is important for all young people, regardless of orientation; explains how the virus can be transmitted; and reveals the efficacy of the vaccine and the common myths surrounding it. _______ Finally, we're going hip-hop for our Record of the Month, ‘Passion', from LL COOL J's first album in 11 years, THE FORCE

Playing with knives, navigating the ‘Dad Race' at Sports Day, and getting a ‘backstreet assessment' for dyslexia are on the conversational menu as comedians Tom Price and Stuart Goldsmith reunite with fellow father Olly Mann to discuss the pleasures and pains of parenthood. Now aged 8, their boys are dealing with TikTok addiction, grappling with the instant gratification of Amazon deliveries, and trying to hack the marble jar.  Meanwhile, our trio of Dads are learning how to transition from ‘performative parenting', moderating the YouTube content on their smart TVs, and facing the inevitable spectre of turning into their own fathers... This is the tenth instalment of our annual ‘How To Be A Dad' series. Catch up with all previous episodes HERE. 

At a young age, I was completely focused on food and how to get it. Gaining weight by third grade, I went on my first diet – with my mom! By twelve, after a painful friendship breakup, I was binge eating and purging in secret. In college, despite quitting drinking, smoking, and pills through sheer willpower, bulimia was a battle I simply couldn't win alone. College amplified my struggles; the affluence of my peers left me feeling inadequate, and my father's death during my sophomore year led me to more unhealthy behaviors and depression. Feeling completely ungrounded, I found daily tasks difficult, and my life was truly unmanageable. I spent my days literally going from dining hall to dining hall, eating my way through the pain. A turning point came when I heard a recording from a recovering alcoholic that mirrored my story with food and how I ate. This realization led me to Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA), where after several starts and re-starts, I am grateful to now have over 20 years of abstinence from food addiction. This freedom has transformed my life, allowing me to leave grad school (the right decision!), start a business, share in a wonderful marriage, and embrace motherhood thanks to a profound change in my attitude. Through my recovery in FA, I have found a spiritual path, a peaceful foundation, and a life I never could have imagined.
