The Mandalorian and Grogu introduced Rotta the Hutt as a Gladiator, however Clone Wars fans already know him since he was younger. Rotta the Hutt was originally saved by Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars. We now see him in the Mando movie, fully grown and trying to break out of Jabba the Hutt's shadow.

In this candid team meeting, Bryan — a founder of Kalos Services and a veteran of residential HVAC — gathers his install crew to have an honest conversation about what goes wrong on the job. With summer around the corner and the workload about to spike, Bryan circles back to his roots in residential HVAC to lead a round-table discussion on the pain points his technicians face every single day. Rather than pointing fingers, he opens the floor for every team member to voice the specific frustrations that slow down their installs, and what emerges is a surprisingly consistent list: size and clearance problems, missing small materials, incomplete job photos, and last-minute schedule changes that leave crews scrambling before they even pull out of the shop. Bryan draws on his own humble origins as a one-man operation hauling equipment on a Gladiator trailer — doing installs, service calls, and waste runs all in the same day — to remind his team that chaos is not inevitable; it is the byproduct of poor process. He is refreshingly self-aware, admitting that he was a very bad installer who routinely showed up with equipment that did not fit the space. That honesty sets the tone for the entire session: this is not a lecture about accountability, but a collaborative problem-solving conversation about building repeatable systems that prevent the same mistakes from happening over and over again. As Bryan frames it, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result — and right now, the team is living that cycle. The heart of the session focuses on a three-phase planning framework: what should be done the night before a job, what should happen at the shop before the crew leaves, and what needs to occur during the first 30 minutes on-site. Bryan emphasizes that skipping proper measurements and job photos should carry the same weight as failing an inspection or leaving a refrigerant leak — because the downstream cost is just as real. He breaks down the two categories of mistakes that are truly unacceptable for any installer: refrigerant leaks from improper brazing, and water leaks from poorly executed drain lines. No amount of clean workmanship makes up for either of those failures, and he walks the crew through the non-negotiable steps — pressure testing and bubble solution on every single joint — that prevent them. Bryan wraps up by tying individual preparation habits to the bigger picture of company growth. He acknowledges that last-minute installs and mid-job equipment runs may never fully disappear, but that investing 15 minutes the evening before and 30 minutes on arrival creates a compounding tipping point effect — over time, the crew gains back hours, reduces surprises, and frees up the time that matters most: commissioning the system properly. Checklists, he argues, are not about turning skilled tradespeople into robots; they are about transferring institutional knowledge to the next generation of technicians and ensuring that nothing critical gets overlooked, no matter how many times you have done the job before. Topics Covered Common install-day problems surfaced in a round-table with the install crew Equipment size and clearance issues — why measurements matter before the truck leaves the shop The critical role of detailed job photos in preventing on-site surprises Missing small materials (wire nuts, spray foam, surge protectors, breakers) and how to stock proactively Scope and de-scope review: aligning the proposal with the homeowner before work begins Bryan's three-phase planning framework: the night before, at the shop, and on arrival Why refrigerant leaks and drain-line failures are the two non-negotiable mistakes to eliminate Pressure testing and bubble solution as a standard, every-joint practice The role of checklists in training new technicians and preserving institutional knowledge Handling last-minute installs and the logistics of getting equipment to the job site Condenser access obstacles — bushes, parking, property layout — and how to communicate with homeowners Faulty or missing parts out of the box and strategies for catching them early Panel rework and surprise platform rebuilds: planning for the unexpected How improved preparation leads to better commissioning time at the end of every job Building a culture of process over blame — poor planning is a system problem, not a people problem Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

In the year 2000, Lance Wallnau picked up the phone to prep for an interview with a U.S. senator who had been clinically dead for nearly 30 minutes. The voice on the other end told him a story about seven islands rising in heaven — a story that would become the Seven Mountains Mandate. Years later, when Lance called the woman back to confirm the details, she said five words that changed everything: "I never told you that." So who — or what — was actually on the other end of that call? Prophetic voice Lance Wallnau opens up about the moment he believes he was speaking not to a human, but to an angel — and the chain of supernatural events that birthed the Seven Mountains revelation now reshaping the global Church. What if the message reshaping the Body of Christ was confirmed by heaven itself? In this episode: * The Acts 12 "Peter's angel" parallel Lance says happened to him personally — and the woman who insists she never made the call * The Senator Mike Crotts resurrection story: dead 25-30 minutes outside a Marriott, commanded back to life by his wife Phyllis * The heaven vision of 7 islands and 1 great mountain — and the words Jesus spoke: "There must be agreement" * The Isaiah 45 / Cyrus prophecy Lance heard audibly about Trump as the 45th president — years before the 2016 election * Kim Clement's prophecy that hospital staff couldn't stop from being fulfilled * The hidden "Diamond" code in the Gladiator arena scene — and why Lance says it's a prophetic parable for end-times unity * The Voice of Apostles 2000 moment in Harrisburg when an entire crowd reported hearing angels echo "AS ONE" * The final phone call from Senator Kratz the day before he died: "Now's the time." This isn't a sermon. This is the origin story Lance has rarely told publicly — the supernatural fingerprints behind every Seven Mountains conversation happening today.

Freddie is recording from a kitchen in Sardinia — Cynthia on the couch, Gladiator 2 queued up, and a commitment to never miss a Monday. In this solo dispatch, he revisits the recent episode with Elaine Pauli and MagnaWave, sharing new clinical data that wasn't in the original episode: PEMF therapy didn't just reduce prostate size by 27% in 30 days — it actually changed how mitochondria process carbohydrates and sugar, restructuring the cell's ability to generate energy going forward. He connects this to one of the most compelling proofs in the field — a non-union fracture that fails to heal for seven years suddenly restarting bone growth when exposed to high-powered PEMF — and the Kentucky Derby winner who crossed the finish line after using MagnaWave every day in training. This isn't fringe anymore. It's FDA cleared as a Class II medical device. And Freddie has been waiting for this moment for over five years. He also shares a personal announcement: after championing Light Path LED since 2018, Freddie has officially stepped into a leadership role at the company alongside founder Scott Kennedy and Ben Carlson. He breaks down the new Titan panel — six feet of full-body red light coverage, three spectrums, 1,000+ LEDs, a mechanical adjustable stand, and a five-year warranty — and explains why even a 0.2% daily increase in mitochondrial output compounds into something profound over seven years of consistent use. The episode closes with something rarer in the wellness space: a genuine reflection on the healing power of doing nothing. Florence, Rome, Sardinia, good food, long walks, and people watching. No emails. No protocols. Just presence — and the reminder that the tools only work if the nervous system is calm enough to receive them. Episode Highlights [02:38] – New MagnaWave findings on prostate size and mitochondrial function [03:42] – PEMF as a signaling tool rather than the source of healing itself [06:00] – MagnaWave's FDA-cleared progress and the future of PEMF adoption [07:10] – Freddie announces his leadership role with Light Path LED [09:15] – The new Titan red light panel and why accessibility matters [13:50] – The compounding effect of small daily wellness habits [15:02] – How chronic illness forced Freddie to rethink his lifestyle choices [16:05] – Why travel and unplugging can be deeply therapeutic [17:58] – Reflections on rest, perspective, and slowing down outside daily routines UPGRADE YOUR WELLNESS Get AuraWell PEMF: https://calendly.com/cameron-ci3b/podcast Silver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED https://lightpathled.com/?afmc=BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN Code: beautifullybroken STEMREGEN: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen/?afmc=beautifullybroken Code: beautifullybroken Flowpresso 3-in-1 technology: (https://calendly.com/freddiekimmel/flowpresso-one-on-one-discovery) CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Chicago-based director Jared Isaac recently directed his debut feature film AN AUTUMN SUMMER, which releases next month. A great conversation about the joys of shooting an indie film in the hidden cinematic gem of Northern Michigan. We spoke about the personal nature of this film and how it's based on some of his closest friends...and the fascinating story of how he was able to, against-all-odds, cast Tony Horton as the father. Horton is the founder of the ground breaking, immensely popular, workout program P90X. We also spoke of a couple of his favorite movie scenes from Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR as well as Matthew Mcconaughey's as Wooderson in Richard Linklater's DAZED & CONFUSED.

The conversation with Dean Kinzer goes even deeper as Sports Cards Live explores the parallels between ancient coin collecting and modern sports card collecting through the lens of grading, eye appeal, originality, restoration, and authenticity. Jeremy and Dean compare the philosophies behind both hobbies and uncover just how similar collectors really are, despite collecting objects separated by nearly 2,000 years of history. Topics include: Eye appeal versus technical grade Why some lower-grade items look better than higher-grade examples Fine style designations and “star” eye appeal coins Whether grading companies should recognize eye appeal directly Toning, luster, strike quality, and surface preservation Cleaning and restoration controversies in both hobbies Why originality matters to collectors “Buy the coin, not the grade” versus “buy the card, not the grade” How grading legitimized cards and coins as tradable assets Cracking slabs and resubmitting for higher grades Population reports and grading consistency Why ancient coins can still surprise collectors with new discoveries The discussion also explores: Whether cards and coins should ever be restored Why some collectors prefer naturally aged items How grading companies influence hobby psychology Why eye appeal may eventually become part of mainstream sports card grading Later in the episode: Dean discusses rarity, scarcity, and historical demand The impact of movies like Gladiator on coin prices The similarities between modern hobby hype cycles and historical collectibles The challenge of attracting younger collectors into the coin hobby Why ancient coin collectors admire the energy of sports card shows

"My Name is Gladiator!" On this episode of the podcast, we rewatch one of the greatest epics ever made, Ridley Scott's Gladiator (2000). This Best Picture Winner was a defining film in the genre and helped reinvent the Historical Epic on the big screen. Looking at it more than 25 years later, what do we think of the movie, of Russel Crowe, and of Epic's in general!
JD sits down with Virgil from NorthBound Expeditions and NBX Trail Gear for a laid-back conversation about Jeeps, handmade gear, and the kind of trips that stick with you long after you get home. Virgil shares how he went from growing up in Luxembourg to building a life in Nova Scotia, serving in the Canadian Army, creating overland content, and turning his own need for better storage into NBX Trail Gear. The conversation gets into his JK “Fury,” his new 2025 Gladiator build, G.A.R.B. bags, custom trail gear, Cordura fabric, YouTube storytelling, and why good overlanding gear usually comes from people who actually spend time on the trail. JD and Virgil also talk about Eastern Canada travel, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick woods restrictions, and how quickly access issues can hit a community when nobody is organized to push back. This one is a good hang for anyone who loves Jeep builds, overlanding, handmade trail gear, and the stories behind small companies in the off-road world.
The movie that put Russell Crowe on the map and ultimately landed him the role of Maximus in Gladiator, L.A. Confidential is a throwback detective-noir drama that holds up 30 years later. Did Dudley kill Exley's Father? Probably not, but maybe? We go on a ton of tangents on this one, that somehow directly or indirectly relate.Thanks for listening to what many are calling the greatest nostaglic movie podcast of all time. Be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!
We were very fortunate to be joined by the delightful Dr Simon Elliot in this special episode about his latest book, The African Emperor: The Life of Septimius Severus.Dr Elliott (now forever known as Dr E) is a historian, archaeologist and broadcaster. His PhD is in Classics and Archaeology from the University of Kent. Dr E is the author of nineteen books (yes, nineteen!) on the ancient world, including Early Imperial Romans, Pertinax: The Son of a Slave Who Became Roman Emperor, and Roman Britain's Missing Legion. To find a full list of his many endeavours, check out his website.However, it is Septimius Severus, ruler of the Roman Empire from 193 to 211 CE, who we want to focus on today. You may not be particularly familiar with this emperor, but if you have seen Gladiator 2, you have met his children. Severus was the father of Caracalla and Geta who do not have the best reputation. But there is much more to his story than his disappointing children.Dr Elliott takes us through the remarkable rise of this man: from Leptis Magna to the imperial purple. In this interview, we tackle the following questions: · How did Severus emerge victorious from the chaos of The Year of Five Emperors?· What made him the most successful Severan emperor? (Aside from not being murdered with his mum) · Was Septimius Severus responsible for a genocide during his campaign in Britain?· Is there a case to be made that Septimius Severus deserves to rank alongside the likes of Augustus and Trajan?· When is Netflix going to make I, Julia – a series revolving around all of the Julias from the Severan dynasty? (Copyright, The Partial Historians, 2026)Join us for the fascinating life story of the founder of the last dynasty before the near collapse of the Empire in the third century CE. And don't forget to grab yourself a copy of the book, currently a Sunday Times bestseller.Please note: at around 39:11, when Dr E is discussing the women in the Severan dynasty, he makes reference to Julia Domna's sister as Julia Soaemias. A slip of the tongue, as Julia Domna's sister was Julia Maesa, and her daughters were Julia Soaemias (mother of Elagabalus) and Julia Mamaea (mother of Severus Alexander).Sound CreditsOur music is by Bettina Joy de GuzmanFor our full show notes and edited transcripts, head on over to https://partialhistorians.com/Support the showPatreonKo-FiRead our booksRex: The Seven Kings of RomeYour Cheeky Guide to the Roman Empire Hosted on Acast.

Många av filmhistoriens mest kända verk har historien som tema – Ben-Hur, Gladiator, Ivanhoe, Braveheart, De tre musketörerna med flera. Andra filmer har blivit så ryktbara att de själva har blivit en del av historien och omgivits av myter, vilket gör det svårt att skilja sanning från bluff. Hit hör inte minst några av de stora Hollywoodfilmerna på 1940-talet, som Casablanca och Riddarfalken från Malta. I det här avsnittet ger vi oss i kast med några av dessa filmer och granskar deras historiska aspekter i detalj.Särskilt intressanta är de individer som förekommer i filmerna. Har de funnits eller inte? När vi tittar närmare på flera av dem visar det sig snart att förvånansvärt många faktiskt har verkliga förlagor. När Orson Welles skapade huvudpersonen i Citizen Kane utgick han från tidningsmagnaten William Randolph Hearst, som fortfarande levde – och som försökte stoppa filmen när han förstod hur nära förebilden låg.I andra fall är det mer komplicerat. Tarzan har en förlaga – men inte i form av en verklig person, utan som en litterär föregångare: Mowgli i Djungelboken nämns ofta som en viktig inspirationskälla. Zorro är, åtminstone delvis, knuten till legenderna kring den mexikanske banditen Joaquín Murrieta. Men hur är det med Ben-Hur, Röda nejlikan och d'Artagnan – har de också funnits på riktigt?I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om historia på film: vad är sant och vad är falskt?Bild: Ben-Hur-affischen från 1959, med Charlton Hestons Judah Ben-Hur i centrum och stridsvagnsloppet som filmens dramatiska höjdpunkt.

White-clawed crayfish were once common in Britain's waterways. But thanks to a restaurant craze in the 1970's, that brought the American signal crayfish to our shores, our only native freshwater crayfish is under threat from this invasive species. White-clawed crayfish are eco system engineers keeping rivers and streams clean and they also have amazing limb re growing superpowers. But they're being outcompeted for food and habitat by the American signal crayfish and succumbing to a killer plague being spread by them. But, with a little help from Ranger Nick Allen and the team at Wallington estate in Northumberland, habitats are being created where white-clawed crayfish can thrive. Join Rosie and follow the story and the lives of the plucky little characters fighting for survival in England's Northeast.Production: Host: Rosie Holdsworth Producers: Michelle Douglass and Katy Kelly Sound Editor: Jesus Gomez Contributor: Nick Allen Discover more: Find out more about Wallington and their work with the white-clawed crayfish: Saving the native white-clawed crayfish | National Trust Follow us @ wildtales Instagram account If you'd like to get in touch with feedback, or a story idea, you can contact us at podcasts@nationaltrust.org.uk

JD sits down with Steve and Katie Botkin of Epic Adventure Duo for a fun, grounded conversation about marriage, overlanding, and the kind of off-road life that's built on real miles instead of parking-lot hype. They talk through how camping, dirt bikes, and years of Jeep ownership led them to Trail Hero Expeditions, where their expert navigation, camp rhythm, and well-used Gladiator helped carry them to a third-place finish. Along the way, they swap stories from Moab, Sand Hollow, Baja, and Montana snow wheeling, plus a few challenge moments that were equal parts chaos and comedy. The episode also gets into gear choices, trail strategy, and why the Grand Canyon stretch of the route became one of the most memorable parts of the whole experience.

Send us Fan MailARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED (by our podcast)?! We are starting a new theme this week and this time it's "all roads lead to Rome". If you're unfamiliar with the phrase it is a proverb that means there are many different ways (or paths, methods, or approaches) to reach the same goal, destination, or conclusion. It emphasizes that the end result is what matters, not the specific route taken—whether in problem-solving, achieving success, or arriving at a particular outcome.Taking the theme as literally as possible, we start the cycle with Gladiator. Starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix we follow a former Roman General who sets out to exact vengeance against the corrupt emperor who murdered his family and sent him into slavery.So grab your sword and your sandals and join us for this weeks episode.

Send us Fan Mail“Are you entertained?” isn't just a movie quote to us, it's a mirror. We start with that Gladiator moment and follow the thread into a bigger question: what is entertainment, really, and why does it have such power over our attention, our emotions, and even our daily choices?We talk about entertainment as a real human need, not just an industry. When something truly entertains you, it pulls you into a focused frame where the world quiets down for a while. That can be healing, because laughter, excitement, and enjoyment can shift your internal chemistry and give you relief from stress. But we also wrestle with the darker side: entertainment can become containment when we use it to avoid life, or when others learn how to profit from keeping us locked in.To make it practical, we break entertainment into a simple framework you can use right away: sound, light, and material (content). We walk through an easy at-home example with kids, rhythm turning into music, light adding energy, and content giving it meaning. The takeaway is simple and useful: you can entertain yourself on purpose, you can do it cheaply, and you can use it as a tool for mood, creativity, and connection.If this sparked something for you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Bizarre News: March 2026 | Paranormal Podcast This month's Bizarre News had us kicking things off close to home — literally — with a wild Bigfoot flap happening right in our backyard in Northeast Ohio, plus a meteorite that was loud enough to rattle windows across multiple states and had one of us genuinely wondering if the neighbor's house exploded. From there we covered dozens of sheep vanishing without a single trace of bone or wool from remote Norwegian islands, leaving farmers, police, and us absolutely baffled about what — or who — could possibly be pulling this off. We also dove into a fascinating new study linking UFO hotspots to deep underwater canyon systems along the US West Coast, which has researchers seriously asking whether something non-human might have been operating beneath our oceans this whole time. We also threw in a story about a Detroit church that's been selling out hundreds of seats for giant mech suit gladiator battles — and honestly, we have more questions than answers about all of it.

There's something special about early ‘90s boxing movies. They live in that sweet spot between grit and charm—before everything became overly polished, but after the genre had already gone a few rounds with audiences. For Episode 301 of Not A Bomb, we step into the ring with two films that don't always get a title shot: Gladiator (1992) and Diggstown (1992).Here is the tale of the tape: Gladiator (1992)Gladiator comes out swinging with raw, underground energy. It's a coming-of-age story that doesn't pull its punches, following a young fighter caught in a world where every decision feels like going toe-to-toe with disaster.This movie fights in close quarters, dirty, aggressive, and personal. There's no dancing around the ring here. Every hit lands, and you feel it. It's the kind of film that wins on sheer grit… even if it occasionally looks like it forgot the game plan between rounds.Gladiator Rowdy Herrington and stars Cuba Gooding Jr., James Marshall, Robert Loggia, Ossie Davis, and Brain Dennehy.Diggstown (1992)Diggstown, meanwhile, is light on its feet and heavy on charm. It's less about haymakers and more about the long con—built around a bet that feels like the cinematic equivalent of calling your shot before the fight even starts.This film shadowboxes with expectations. It jabs, it dodges, and every now and then it lands a clever uppercut of a twist. It may not hit as hard as Gladiator, but it definitely knows how to score points with the judges (and the audience).Diggstown is directed by Michael Ritchie and stars James Woods, Louis Gossett Jr., Oliver Platt, Heather Graham, Bruce DernWe Want to Hear From YouGot a cinematic flop you want us to tackle?

This week Jolenta is looking into The Protector archetype and his evil twin, The Gladiator.
