Dopey Recovery Short Film Festival https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 Patreon - www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast   Summary   This week on the Dopey replay, Dave opens the show melting in a ninety-degree attic after removing his ugly window air conditioners and battling his third malfunctioning Rodecaster. He spirals through equipment frustration, a failed attempt to recruit an actress from The Pitt, and his anxiety about banking ten episodes before vacation, before reminding himself that gratitude and acceptance are the answer.   Dave promotes the June 26th Dopey Film Festival and reads heartfelt emails from listeners who discovered Dopey after Chris's death and have been listening from the beginning. He reflects on the murder of Dopey legend DJ Don, discussing the tragic circumstances surrounding his death and how loss remains an unavoidable part of making a podcast about addiction.   The replay itself features classic chemistry between Dave and Chris with special guest "Vinny," an old friend and longtime stoner. The episode wanders hilariously through stand-up comedy, Leonardo DiCaprio encounters, Perrier pronunciation debates, and Chris's legendary stories before landing on the centerpiece: Vinny's unbelievable Amsterdam LSD tale.   While studying abroad, Vinny and a group of fellow Americans drop acid in Amsterdam. One of them, "Tok," completely loses his mind, strips naked in a coffee shop, searches for his dog "Java," swings at strangers, gets whipped by two random guys carrying sex whips, and ultimately ends up handcuffed and sleeping it off in a Dutch jail. By morning, Tok remembers absolutely nothing.   The replay closes with stories about Dave bombing at open mic comedy, Chris reliving disgusting drunk escapades, and the timeless chemistry that made early Dopey such a cult classic.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We also discuss: Common sports-related foot and ankle injuries Key anatomy and physical exam pearls Imaging strategies and when to order MRIs Conservative vs surgical treatment options Return-to-play timelines for athletes Managing instability, tendon injuries, and high ankle sprains The role of PRP, biologics, and peptides in sports medicine Building global consensus in foot and ankle sports care Enjoy! Arianna Gianakos, DO, is an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in sports-related injuries of the foot and ankle, including Achilles tendon injuries; ankle sprains and instability; ligament reconstruction; and trauma-related foot and ankle fractures, as well as various other foot and ankle conditions. Dr. Gianakos' interest in sports medicine—particularly foot and ankle sports medicine—is the result of a long, personal history with sports. She was an All-American Athlete, former collegiate basketball player, and track and field athlete who had her own share of injuries and orthopaedic surgeries. "My experience taught me the importance of having a physician who was passionate about getting patients back on their feet so they are able to return to sports," she says. "I chose a career where I could help patients in the same way my orthopaedic surgeons helped me." Her approaches include cutting-edge, minimally invasive surgeries, including in-office needle arthroscopy, and a variety of nonsurgical interventions, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, stem cell therapy, and fat cell therapy. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Gianakos is an assistant professor of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation at Yale School of Medicine. She has collaborated on studies of cartilage regeneration, tendon healing, and bone growth, and has a personal research focus on gender- and sex-related differences in foot and ankle injuries and outcomes. Dr. Ariana Gianakos earned her Bachelor of Science degree from McGill University before completing her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. She went on to complete her orthopedic surgery residency at Rutgers Health, followed by a fellowship in Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital through Harvard Medical School. She also completed advanced international training in foot and ankle IONA and sports medicine through NYU Langone Health. In addition, she is a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam, where her research focuses on gender and sex-related differences in foot and ankle surgery.

In Nazi-occupied Amsterdam during World War II, young Hendrika de Vries witnessed extraordinary courage. Her family hid a Jewish child in their home, and she watched her mother join the Dutch Resistance and withstand interrogation at gunpoint after the child was discovered and taken away. These experiences would shape a lifetime devoted to resilience, hope, and helping others find their strength.   Hendrika's remarkable journey spans continents and generations. From her childhood in wartime Holland to her teenage years as an immigrant and champion swimmer in 1950s Australia, and later as a young wife and mother in the turbulent United States of the 1960s, her life story is one of perseverance, adaptation, and purpose.       As a young swimming instructor in Australia, Hendrika experienced a defining moment when she helped a boy whose legs had been paralyzed by polio learn to trust his upper body and move through the water. Watching him discover his own strength revealed a calling that would eventually lead her to become a family therapist in the United States.   Today, Hendrika de Vries is a retired family therapist, teacher, and writer with a background in theology and depth psychology. She is the author of two memoirs, including one about a little Dutch girl who journeys from the shadows of war to a new life in Australia, confronting loss, shattered dreams, and inner struggles before discovering her unique path forward.   Through her writing and speaking, Hendrika inspires audiences with a powerful message: even in the darkest times, hope and possibility remain. She believes that by sharing our stories, we become witnesses to resilience and agents of change. Her life and work remind us that courage, compassion, and the human spirit can endure—and flourish—against all odds.                             GET YOUR COPY HERE   If you believe in the power of dreams and intentions, this inspirational coming-of-age memoir, set in 1950s Australia, where an immigrant girl swimmer turns challenges and disappointments into opportunities for success, is for you. Henny was just a little girl when she experienced brutal violence and hunger in WWII Amsterdam, but she is now a teenage immigrant swimmer in 1950s Australia, where she must learn to turn challenges into success. She is smart, she swims fast, and she has definite opinions about the kind of woman she intends to be. She hears the timeless Land speak and sees the Southern Cross as a beacon when she walks in the bush with her father. She enjoys swimming star fame and championship victories and turns to the pool in her search to belong, to face fears and dashed hopes, until at every turn she sees more clearly her unique path ahead.   GET YOUR COPY HERE When a Toy Dog Became a Wolf and the Moon Broke Curfew Born in the Netherlands at a time when girls are to be housewives and mothers and nothing else, Hendrika de Vries is a "daddy's girl" until her father is deported from Nazi-occupied Amsterdam to a POW camp in Germany and her mother joins the Resistance. In the aftermath of her father's departure, Hendrika watches as freedoms formerly taken for granted are eroded with escalating brutality by men with swastika armbands who aim to exterminate those they deem "inferior" and those who do not obey.   As time goes on, Hendrika absorbs her mother's strength and faith, and learns about moral choice and forced silence. She sees her hidden Jewish "stepsister" betrayed, and her mother interrogated at gunpoint. She and her mother suffer near starvation, and they narrowly escape death on the day of liberation. But they survive it all—and through these harrowing experiences, Hendrika discovers the woman she wants to become. Get in Touch with Hendrika Website Facebook

community hall in Amsterdam, Sander and Anouk stood in line to cast their votes.Nl: De hal was gevuld met een vrolijke mix van stemmen.En: The hall was filled with a cheerful mix of voices.Nl: Mensen

blik.En: Sander looked around with a determined expression.Nl: "Anouk," zei Sander met overtuiging, "het is echt belangrijk dat we op de milieuvriendelijke kandidaat stemmen.En: "Anouk," Sander said with conviction, "it's really important that we vote for the environmentally friendly candidate.Nl: Er zijn zoveel veranderingen nodig om onze stadsomgeving beter te maken."En: There are so many changes needed to make our urban environment better."Nl: Anouk zuchtte zachtjes, terwijl ze naar de kleurrijke informatiefolders keek die op tafel lagen.En: Anouk sighed softly as she glanced at the colorful informational brochures lying on the table.Nl: "Ik weet het, Sander.En: "I know, Sander.Nl: Maar het gaat niet alleen om het milieu.En: But it's not just about the environment.Nl: We hebben ook goede scholen, veilige straten en cultuur nodig."En: We also need good schools, safe streets, and culture."Nl: Sander knikte.En: Sander nodded.Nl: "Ja, dat is ook belangrijk.En: "Yes, that's important too.Nl: Maar zonder een gezond milieu, wat heeft dat allemaal voor zin?"En: But without a healthy environment, what does it all mean?"Nl: Anouk glimlachte flauw.En: Anouk smiled faintly.Nl: "Je hebt een goed punt, maar ik wil zeker weten dat ik mijn keuze baseer op een breder beeld."En: "You make a good point, but I want to make sure I base my decision on a broader perspective."Nl: Ondertussen kregen anderen hun stembiljetten en vulden ze met zorg in.En: Meanwhile, others received their ballots and filled them out carefully.Nl: De lucht had een levendige energie, en vrienden babbelden zachtjes met elkaar.En: The air had a lively energy, and friends chatted quietly with each other.Nl: Anouk haalde diep adem en besloot de folders te bekijken.En: Anouk took a deep breath and decided to look at the brochures.Nl: Ze luisterde naar de gesprekken om haar heen, terwijl ze de informatie over elke kandidaat las.En: She listened to the conversations around her while reading the information about each candidate.Nl: Ze kon zich voorstellen hoe haar leerlingen moesten bewegen door deze complexe wereld, en dat inspireerde haar om zorgvuldig na te denken over wie hun toekomst het

she was stronger than she thought.Nl: Sander glimlachte, dankbaar voor de nieuwe blik die hun discussie had gebracht.En: Sander smiled, grateful for the new perspective their discussion had brought.Nl: Ze begrepen allebei dat verandering begint met een simpel gesprek en de kleine keuzes die elke burger maakt.En: They both understood that change begins with a simple conversation and the small choices every citizen makes.Nl: En zo begonnen ze aan een nieuwe dialoog, hun ogen op de toekomst gericht, geworteld in een gedeelde wens om de plek die ze hun thuis noemden, te verbeteren.En:

Then the guys get into the real stories moving hospitality. CoStar and Tourism Economics upgrade 2026 RevPAR forecasts, but the panel is skeptical. Luxury keeps pulling away, select service is stuck below inflation, and Ben argues the real problem is product-market fit: too many boring midscale hotels charging more without giving guests a reason to care. Edwin warns that the rush into luxury could create a wave of copy-paste properties that look expensive but mean nothing. Scott lands the bigger question: are we measuring industry health while ignoring the health of the guest experience? From there, Marriott hits 10,000 properties with the JW Marriott Ranthambore in India — and the milestone becomes a debate about scale, owner trust, Bonvoy economics, and whether loyalty programs are quietly becoming financial institutions. Edwin points to owners pushing for a bigger slice of Marriott's credit-card and loyalty revenue, while Ben argues younger hoteliers may not see the same value in flags that previous generations did. The crew digs into whether AI, better data, and a more independent-minded generation of owners could start cracking the big-brand moat. In What's in Your DMs, Ben is seeing a wave of narrative-driven independent hotel projects, Scott hears from a travel advisor whose clients are bringing AI-generated itineraries for human validation, Edwin is getting flooded by designers looking for work, and Zach admits he built a Claude agent to help find better podcast guests. Finally, Edwin breaks down Amsterdam's tourist-tax fight, where the city is pushing toward a 20% tax by 2030 and hotel leaders are moving from dialogue to lawsuits. The group debates overtourism, whether cities want visitor revenue without visitor relationships, and why Europe is starting to feel materially more expensive for travelers. Spice of the Week closes with World Cup infrastructure chaos in Miami, six-hour stadium commutes, and Ben's Messi doppelgänger moment. This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey.

Welcome to episode 337 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! We're going across the pond this week, and not to Sweden for once. We met Bart Vandervaal on the ferry to Sandhamn at ÖTILLÖ last year and immediately started asking about his shoes. Nine months later, Bart and his co-race director Henk de Bock are on the show to tell us about the Dutch swimrun scene and the first ever Dutch Swimrun Championship. Bart and Henk have been organizing Het Rondje Eilanden, a 6.5-kilometer island circuit race in Vinkeveen just south of Amsterdam, for 15 years. The race predates the word swimrun in the Netherlands, and for years athletes did it in Speedos and surf shoes with no wetsuits, no pull buoys, and no idea there was a global sport building around the same idea. This year, to celebrate the race's 15th edition, they're running the championship as three consecutive loops of the course, 19 kilometers total, in pairs, with 750 participants across all distance categories. The race is on Saturday, July 18th. The classic single loop (6.5K) is filling up fast, but the Dutch Championships distance (3 loops, 19K) still has spots. You can find registration and race info at hetrondjeeilanden.nl. We dig into how the Dutch swimrun community organized itself from the ground up through WhatsApp groups and international race travel, what makes Vinkeveen's clear water and 12-island layout such a natural fit for the sport, and what the race weekend actually looks like: camping on the island, hot tubs, live music, and a party culture that fits right in with the swimrun ethos. If you're a Dutch swimrunner or just curious about connecting with the community over there, the WhatsApp community lives at swimrun.group with channels organized by region and a main hub called the SwimRun Huiskamer, which translates to SwimRun Living Room. Signal groups are also linked there for the WhatsApp-averse. Henk shares his own path to the ÖTILLÖ World Series this year, and Bart recounts what it was like to race ÖTILLÖ Stockholm for the first time last year on a foot injury, getting towed to the finish by his partner. Bart and his partner Sander Berk also chronicled the whole journey on their Substack, From Zero till Ötillö, at from0tillotillo.substack.com. The first 30 weekly training blogs have English translations, and the blog has since expanded with writers covering swimrun across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, including race coverage from ÖTILLÖ events. We also get into the broader Dutch swimrun landscape, including the Backyard Ultra Swimrun happening just north of Amsterdam on June 20th at Het Twiske. Athletes do a 5K loop every hour with short swims and runs mixed in, up to a 10-hour max. Find details and registration at swimrun.amsterdam. And if the Dutch race scene has you wanting to plan a European summer, check the show notes for all the links. On our end, we're two weeks out from Quest Swimrun Bellingham at Lake Padden and heading into the thick of our training block. After Bellingham comes Folsom Swimrun, then the 10th anniversary of ÖTILLÖ Casco Bay, and then ÖTILLÖ World Series in September. The list is long. The stoke is real.

In this Omni Talk Retail interview, recorded live from the Global DIY Summit 2026 in Amsterdam, Chris Walton talks with Robert Wicha, Commercial Director at Castorama Poland, about the company's marketplace strategy, the growing importance of data quality, and how technology is reshaping the future of home improvement retail. Robert explains why Castorama views its marketplace as a curated extension of its brand rather than simply a channel for assortment expansion. He shares how trust influences every aspect of the customer journey, why retail media should create value for both customers and supplier partners, and how marketplaces can strengthen rather than dilute brand perception when executed thoughtfully. The conversation also explores the growing role of AI in retail, why data quality has become a competitive advantage, and how retailers must balance technology with human expertise to create better customer experiences. Robert argues that the future of DIY retail isn't just about products, but about helping customers make better decisions through services, guidance, and seamless omnichannel experiences. Key Topics Covered: • Castorama Poland's marketplace strategy • Why marketplaces should be a curated extension of the brand • Building trust in DIY ecommerce • Retail media beyond monetization • The growing importance of data quality in retail • Preparing product data for AI and agentic commerce • Standardization challenges across retail ecosystems • How technology supports better customer decisions • The evolution of DIY from products to services • Creating consistent omnichannel customer journeys Thank you to Vusion for supporting Omni Talk Retail's live coverage from the Global DIY Summit 2026 in Amsterdam.

In this Omni Talk Retail interview, recorded live from the Global DIY Summit 2026 in Amsterdam, Chris Walton talks with Steffen Erath, Head of Innovation at Hansgrohe, about why sustainability should be more than a business objective and instead become a starting point for innovation. Steffen shares how Hansgrohe approaches innovation at the intersection of sustainability, technology, and customer experience, and explains why he advocates for "planet-centered innovation" alongside more traditional product and customer-driven strategies. He also discusses the role AI can play in accelerating sustainability efforts, why solving environmental challenges requires collaboration across industries, and how manufacturers and retailers can better help customers make sustainable choices without sacrificing performance, convenience, or enjoyment. One particularly memorable takeaway: consumers don't buy water-saving showers because they're sustainable. They buy them because they deliver a better shower experience. Key Topics Covered: • What Hansgrohe means by "planet-centered innovation" • Why sustainability can be a powerful innovation strategy • The relationship between AI and sustainability transformation • Moving from competitive advantage to collaborative advantage • Why solving environmental challenges requires ecosystem thinking • How Hansgrohe balances sustainability with customer experience • The "60% Potential" and consumer decision-making • Why retailers should sell benefits, not sustainability claims • Helping consumers make more sustainable choices in the bathroom • The future of innovation in home improvement and building products Thank you to Vusion for supporting Omni Talk Retail's live coverage from the Global DIY Summit 2026 in Amsterdam.

In this Omni Talk Retail interview, recorded live from the Global DIY Summit 2026 in Amsterdam, Chris Walton talks with Raha Been, Senior Vice President of Research & Development and Commercialization, Consumer Business at 3M, about innovation, consumer behavior, and how one of the world's most recognizable brands is adapting to a rapidly changing market. Raha shares her unique journey from cancer research and molecular biology to leading innovation for 3M's Consumer Business, and explains how the company is accelerating its innovation pipeline while maintaining the rigor and accountability that have defined 3M for more than 120 years. She discusses how 3M evaluates new product opportunities, the role partnerships play in bringing innovation to market, and why successful innovation requires balancing speed, creativity, and disciplined execution. Raha also explores how younger consumers are reshaping product development. As Millennials and Gen Z gain purchasing power, expectations are shifting beyond functionality toward personalization, self-expression, and experience. Using Scotch-Brite as an example, she explains how even everyday household products are evolving to reflect changing consumer preferences and lifestyles. Key Topics Covered: • Raha Been's journey from molecular biology and cancer research to retail innovation • How 3M is accelerating innovation under CEO Bill Brown • Balancing speed, agility, and accountability in product development • The role of 3M's stage-gate innovation process • Organic innovation versus partnerships and external collaboration • How 3M evaluates new product opportunities and risk • Why Millennials and Gen Z are reshaping consumer expectations • The shift from utility-driven purchases to experience-driven purchases • How Scotch-Brite products are evolving for a new generation of consumers • Why innovation requires both technology expertise and customer understanding Thank you to Vusion for supporting Omni Talk Retail's live coverage from the Global DIY Summit 2026 in Amsterdam.

In this Omni Talk Retail interview, recorded live from the Global DIY Summit 2026 in Amsterdam, Chris Walton talks with Ryan Baker, Chief Operating Officer of Bunnings Group, about customer trust, omnichannel retail, and how one of the world's most successful home improvement retailers continues to evolve in a rapidly changing market. Ryan shares his 25-year journey with Bunnings, from starting on the shop floor to leading merchandise, marketing, supply chain, retail media, and customer strategy across the business. He explains how Bunnings aligns these functions around a single goal: creating a better experience for customers. The conversation explores why Bunnings believes value extends beyond price, why home improvement retail is really about projects rather than products, and how content and inspiration help customers build confidence to take on DIY projects. Ryan also discusses Bunnings' services marketplace, faster fulfillment options, and how AI and long-term investment are helping the company adapt to changing customer expectations while maintaining the trust it has built over decades. Key Topics Covered: • Ryan Baker's 25-year journey from the shop floor to COO of Bunnings • Why Bunnings organizes merchandising, marketing, and supply chain around the customer • The role of trust in building Australia's most trusted retail brand • Why value means more than just low prices • Expanding into new categories including pet care, cleaning, and automotive • Why home improvement retail is really about projects, not products • The importance of content, inspiration, and DIY education • How Bunnings' services marketplace connects homeowners with trade professionals • Same-day delivery, Uber Eats, and the future of last-mile fulfillment • Reaching younger consumers, renters, and first-time DIY customers • How Bunnings is using AI to improve customer experiences and team productivity • Lessons from Bunnings' omnichannel transformation journey Thank you to Vusion for supporting Omni Talk Retail's live coverage from the Global DIY Summit 2026 in Amsterdam.

Ibrahim Akasha was the kingpin of East Africa's heroin highway, setting up a massive tracking empire that stretched from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran to Kenya, South Africa and Europe. When he was gunned down in 2000, his sons stepped into the void, hungrier and even more violent...but also, more sloppy. They struck deals with Pakistani mobsters and Colombian cartels, turning Kenya's ports into gateways for global dope. But their empire crumbled in a DEA sting straight out of a Hollywood script. *Note: Sean disappeared while on vacation in Amsterdam, Danny had to be hospitalized post Knicks win, so we took a week off for the first time in a year.
