This week's RV Lifestyle Podcast News Edition covers five important stories every RVer should know about.First, a major recall affects more than one million Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators, including many popular tow vehicles used behind motorhomes. Owners are being advised to park affected vehicles outside due to a potential fire risk, even when the ignition is off.We also look at new vehicle restrictions at Zion National Park that will prevent many larger motorhomes and fifth wheels from using the scenic Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway and tunnel route. If Zion is on your travel plans this year, these changes could affect your trip.Plus, diesel fuel prices have finally started moving lower, but many RV owners are still running into an outdated pay-at-the-pump system that makes filling large tanks unnecessarily difficult.In this episode you'll also hear the remarkable story of how investigators finally identified human remains discovered more than two decades ago in Olympic National Park, thanks to advances in forensic genealogy.And finally, the RV Industry Association has quietly lowered its 2026 shipment forecast, creating what may be the best buyer's market RV shoppers have seen in years. We'll explain what the numbers mean and how they could work in your favor if you're considering a purchase.Along the way, Mike shares updates from Hocking Hills, Ohio, where RVCommunity.com members are gathering for the summer rally, and explains why these community events continue to be one of the most rewarding parts of the RV lifestyle.Links, sources, and additional resources for every story are available through the transcript tab.Happy Trails!
Jill and Tom open the show sharing news of a massive Jeep recall. Jeep has issued a "park-outside" warning for owners of many late-model Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators. Listen in for details. The hosts discuss Mitsubishi's new electric crossover, the Eclipse Sportback EV. Mitsubishi's first U.S.-market electric vehicle shares its basic architecture with the Nissan Leaf. Jill reviews the Mercedes-Benz E 53 Hybrid wagon. One of a waning number of true station wagons still offered in the U.S., the E 53 serves up power and tech, though exclusive pricing will keep the car a rare sight on U.S. roads. In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Automotive News' Larry Vellequette to the show. Larry talks about Toyota quality issues, the Gordie Howe Bridge, and surprisingly robust U.S. auto sales. Listen in for some great insights. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's "Who is that Guy?" quiz. The hosts wrap up the show with a quick take on Ferrari's first-ever electric vehicle, the controversial Luce. Check out the Car Stuff Podcast Facebook page for a picture of the Luce, and listen in for the price. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We originally broadcast this episode of election nonsense prior to the debate of 2024, and listening to it anew we are reminded of how drastically things can change, while at the same time aligning eerily with the past. Happy 250th, everybody! The Gladiators are approaching the cage.

Ever feel like the world is spinning a little too fast, and the line between reality and Hollywood is starting to blur? In this episode the guys tackle everything from the strange to the surreal in modern America. The wild world of celebrity deepfakes, politics turning into a UFC-style spectacle, and whether the political division we see on TV is just a cover for a permanent "Uniparty."They also take a look at the bigger picture, exploring how pop culture conditions us for the future. From The Hunger Games to Steven Spielberg's film Disclosure Day, Mike and Mitch question who is really pulling the strings and whether the media is preparing us for a massive shift in reality. Finally, the guys bring it all back down to earth, reminding us why finding joy in a simple, quiet life matters more than ever.

In this exciting episode of The Neil Haley Show and Celebrity Interviews Live from The Grotto, Neil Haley welcomes two special guests connected to one of television's most iconic competition franchises. Joining the show are legendary sports broadcaster Chris Rose, who serves as commentator for the new version of American Gladiators, and Steel, one of the featured Gladiators and a former professional wrestler. Together, they discuss the highly anticipated revival of the beloved competition series, the incredible athletes involved, and why both longtime fans and new viewers should tune in.The conversation begins with Neil reminiscing about the original American Gladiators phenomenon that captivated audiences in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Chris Rose laughs when asked whether he ever imagined competing against the Gladiators himself. Rather than wanting to challenge the larger-than-life athletes, Rose explains that his dream role was always to be behind the microphone, calling the action and bringing excitement to viewers at home.Rose humorously describes himself as far better suited for commentary than competition, joking about his lack of athletic prowess and emphasizing that the Gladiators are physical specimens unlike anything most people have ever encountered. He credits the show's enduring popularity to the incredible combination of athletic competition, entertainment, and larger-than-life personalities.For Steel, becoming an American Gladiator represents the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Growing up watching the original series, he viewed the Gladiators as real-life superheroes. Their imposing physiques, charismatic personalities, and athletic abilities left a lasting impression on him as a young fan. Now, as one of the new Gladiators, he embraces the opportunity to inspire a new generation of viewers just as the original cast inspired him.Steel speaks passionately about honoring the legacy of the original Gladiators while helping bring a modern edge to the franchise. He describes the responsibility of stepping into such an iconic role and credits the original stars for paving the way for today's competitors. For him, becoming Steel is more than a television role—it is a chance to motivate people to pursue strength, discipline, and confidence in their own lives.The discussion shifts to the competitors who enter the arena hoping to defeat the Gladiators and win the grand prize. Chris Rose points out one of the biggest differences between the original version of the show and the current reboot: the overall caliber of the contestants. While the original series featured everyday people, today's competitors are often highly trained athletes with impressive physical abilities and compelling personal stories.Rose explains that many contestants arrive with life-changing motivations. Some have overcome significant weight loss journeys. Others are competing for their families, pursuing lifelong dreams, or proving something to themselves after years of adversity. The $100,000 prize certainly provides motivation, but according to Rose, the competition often represents something much deeper. For many contestants, the show serves as the culmination of years of personal growth and perseverance.One particularly memorable example involves a contestant who overcame childhood obesity after a doctor warned him that his health was in serious danger. Through hard work and determination, he transformed his life and eventually became a personal trainer who now helps others achieve their goals. Stories like these give the competition emotional depth and make viewers emotionally invested in the outcomes.

Real Life Runners I Tying Running and Health into a Family-Centered Life
Have you ever found yourself wondering if you're doing enough?Should you be tracking your sleep more closely? Monitoring your glucose? Taking more supplements? Investing in another recovery tool? Finding one more way to optimize your health and performance?In today's world, it's easy to feel like there is always another metric to improve, another score to chase, and another strategy promising better results.In this episode, Kevin and I take a closer look at what happens when the pursuit of optimization starts working against us.We explore the rise of the "optimizer" identity and how many runners and health-conscious individuals are being pulled into a culture that encourages constant measurement, analysis, and self-improvement. While data can absolutely be helpful, we discuss what happens when metrics become the goal instead of a tool.We dive into how wearables, sleep scores, recovery scores, continuous glucose monitors, and other tracking technologies can sometimes create more anxiety than awareness. We also unpack concepts like orthorexia and orthosomnia—conditions where the pursuit of healthy eating or perfect sleep can actually become unhealthy.From there, we shift into one of the most talked-about sporting events of the year: the inaugural Enhanced Games in Las Vegas.Marketed as a revolutionary athletic competition where performance-enhancing drugs were permitted, the Enhanced Games generated headlines, controversy, and millions of dollars in investment. But beneath the flashy marketing and bold promises lies a much bigger story about optimization culture, shortcuts, and the business of selling peak performance.We break down what actually happened, why many of the promised outcomes failed to materialize, and what the event reveals about our modern obsession with finding the fastest path to better results.Throughout the conversation, we keep coming back to a simple truth:The basics still work.The runners who make the greatest long-term progress aren't usually the ones chasing every new biohack. They're the ones consistently sleeping well, fueling appropriately, training progressively, building strength, managing stress, and recovering intentionally.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the health advice, gadgets, supplements, and performance metrics competing for your attention, this episode offers a refreshing reminder that you don't need to optimize everything to become a healthier, stronger runner.04:45 When Metrics Mislead06:25 Orthorexia and Clean Eating09:02 Orthosomnia and Sleep Anxiety10:56 Fragility vs Resilience12:52 Health Obsession Identity15:05 Gamifying Glucose Tracking18:40 Optimization Industry Exposed23:47 Supplements vs Foundations26:35 Enhanced Games Explained31:31 Gladiators and Reality Check33:08 Clean Athletes Win33:59 Enhanced Games Recap34:19 Super Suit World Record35:29 Weightlifting Hype Fizzles35:47 Wellness Complex Exposed38:39 Why Athletes Underperformed43:17 Foundation Beats Shortcuts46:06 Recovery Tools vs Basics49:15 Sleep Over Supplements50:24 Metrics Without Anxiety51:41 Marketing Tricks and Pink Tax55:07 Mental Strength MatterGain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

Blending classic conflict simulation with Euro‑style area control, this two‑player design places you with the Spanish defenders doing everything they can to slow an advancing Ottoman siege. The Spanish side isn't trying to win outright so much as hold firm and make every step costly, creating a tense, measured experience where each decision carries real weight. With custom card decks and hidden wooden blocks shaping the flow of play, the game builds a steady, immersive pressure without ever feeling overwhelming. Shifting to a much lighter tone, Rebuilding Chicago and Toy Battle trade battlefield grit for creativity and quick, satisfying play. As the standalone follow‑up to Rebuilding Seattle, Rebuilding Chicago invites up to five players to reshape neighborhoods and guide a growing population after the Great Fire of 1871. It's a warm, engaging tile‑laying puzzle with plenty of room for clever planning. And if you're looking for something breezy to wrap up a game night, Paolo Mori's Toy Battle delivers a delightful 15‑minute burst of abstract strategy. With charming toy‑themed troops and whimsical double‑sided maps like the Volcanic Jungle or City of Clouds, it pairs simple rules with just enough tactical bite to leave everyone smiling. We're truly disappointed that we won't be able to host the Strike tournament at Gen Con this year. It's always a highlight for us, and we'll miss the energy, laughter, and chaos that only Gladiators in an Arena, I mean, a bowl of dice can create.

New photographic techniques have shown that that walls in Pompeii were covered with graffiti, including pictures of gladiator fights, lewd poetry, and inscriptions in non-local languages like Safaitic. So sort of like New York City subways in the 1970s. Who says the past doesn't repeat itself?
Long before Pazuzu terrorized audiences in *The Exorcist*, this ancient Mesopotamian demon struck fear into the hearts of the Assyrians and Babylonians—both as a harbinger of destruction and an unlikely protector against even greater evils.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/pazuzuFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The Exorcist is widely regarded as one of the most influential horror movies of all time. Even now, half a century after its release, it continues to terrify audiences, in large part due to its horrifying practical effects and iconic antagonist: Pazuzu. (Pazuzu, The Demon ‘The Exorcist' Made Famous) *** Latoya Ammons and her family claim to have experienced demonic possession that began when they moved into what became known as the “house of 200 demons” in 2011. (The Haunting on Carolina Street) *** In the eerie depths of 1920s Los Angeles, a sinister tale unfolded, shrouded in secrets and steeped in darkness. It all began with May Otis Blackburn and her daughter, Ruth, who claimed to receive divine revelations from the angels Gabriel and Michael. Thus emerged the enigmatic Blackburn Cult, a group entangled in a web of prophecies, tributes, and whispered mysteries. (The Blackburn Cult) *** 19th-century freak shows brought both the extraordinary and the macabre to captivated audiences far and wide. Among the peculiar spectacles of these exhibitions stood a man whose skeletal frame defied all norms of human anatomy… as his skeleton and skin appeared to be the only parts of his anatomy intact. (Seurat, The Living Skeleton) *** In the heat of summer in 2008, a mysterious creature washed ashore on a beach in Montauk, Long Island, sending shockwaves through the community. What began as a simple sighting by local resident soon exploded into a media frenzy, with wild theories and speculation running rampant. (Hot Montauk Summer) *** While epic Hollywood films often depict gladiators as men, the truth is far more captivating.

This week on "Who Put This On?" we are lacing up our sneakers and dodging oversized foam Q-tips as we dive into the American Gladiators revival on Amazon Prime. We compare this shiny new 2026 version to the 2008 Hulk Hogan era to see if the franchise has finally found its footing or if it is still stuck in the mud of the Eliminator. We break down the new roster of Gladiators, discuss whether The Miz is the host we deserved, and debate if the three-event format is enough to keep us coming back. Does this reboot land in the top tier of competitive reality or is it a bottom-level effort that should have stayed in the 90s?

People used to say "believe your eyes." But these days that's not so easy to do. What we scroll through every day blurs the line between entertainment and fact. And nowhere is that phenomenon more evident than in reality television. Today on the show, we tackle the genre that takes our most potent feelings – love, hope, anxiety, loneliness – and turns them into profit. This episode originally ran in 2022.Guests:Goloka Bolte, reality TV casting director Dr. Jana Scrivani, licensed clinical psychologistRacquel Gates, associate professor of film and media studies at Columbia UniversityDr. J'tia Hart, nuclear engineer on Survivor (Season 28)Jeff Jenkins, founder of Jeff Jenkins Productions (JJP)To access bonus episodes and listen to Throughline sponsor-free, subscribe to Throughline+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org/throughline.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

What happens when a world-ranked fighter and coach to champions realizes that his toughest battle isn't in the cage, but within his own soul? In this episode, we sit down with Lance Gibson Senior—a veteran of the UFC and mixed martial arts, actor, and founder of The Fearless Way. Lance shares his incredible journey from overcoming racism in Canada to becoming a pioneer in the early days of MMA. We dive deep into the "26-year legacy" of his son, Lance Gibson Jr., who mirrored his father's historic knockout victory exactly 26 years later to the month. Lance also opens up about his transformative healing journey in the jungles of Peru, where he traded the physical armor of a "protector" for spiritual clarity and purpose. Whether you are looking to master your own resilience or seeking a deeper understanding of the "spiritual fighter," this conversation offers a roadmap for leading with calm confidence and purpose. Key Takeaways: · Calm Confidence: True fearlessness is leading with clarity and purpose, reframing past hardships into the foundation of current strength. · The Power of Legacy: The "26-year mirror" knockout achieved by Lance's son underscores the deep impact of generational discipline and shared values. · Healing the Protector: Strong individuals must periodically "drop their armor" to process grief and fatigue; seeking spiritual maintenance is essential to avoid burnout. · Vibrational Focus: Maintaining peak performance requires guarding your environment and tuning out external noise or social media negativity. · Integrated Mastery: Elite physical performance and deep spiritual practice are not mutually exclusive; they are mutually reinforcing components of a "spiritual warrior.

Dr. Glynetta Fletcher joins The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast with host Ginny Yurich for a conversation that gets underneath what's actually happening in schools. With decades of experience as a teacher, principal, and now an advocate for boys, she talks plainly about patterns that are hard to ignore—early discipline, missed instructional time, and how quickly some kids start to feel like school isn't for them. The discussion covers movement, relationships, trauma, and why behavior is often a signal, not the problem. At the center is a simple but important idea: the purpose of education isn't compliance or test scores, it's helping kids become who they're capable of becoming.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the countless venues across the Roman Empire which for over five hundred years drew the biggest crowds both in the Republic and under the Emperors. The shows there delighted the masses who knew, no matter how low their place in society, they were much better off than the gladiators about to fight or the beasts to be slaughtered. Some of the Roman elites were disgusted, seeing this popular entertainment as morally corrupting and un-Roman. Moral degradation was a less immediate concern though than the overspill of violence. There was a constant threat of gladiators being used as a private army and while those of the elite wealthy enough to stage the shows hoped to win great prestige, they risked disappointing a crowd which could quickly become a mob and turn on them.With Kathleen Coleman James Loeb Professor of the Classics at Harvard UniversityJohn Pearce Reader in Archaeology at King's College LondonAndMatthew Nicholls Fellow and Senior Tutor at St John's College, OxfordProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:C.

Join us for an exciting discussion all about the world of **jeep** and **offroad** adventures. We dive deep into various aspects of **automotive** care and **car repair** specific to these rugged vehicles. Learn about the latest in **automotive technology** that keeps your ride performing at its best. Join host Tony Muckleroy from the Jeep Talk Show for an in-depth return interview with Jay Voltovan, General Manager of Steer Smarts – the go-to brand for heavy-duty aftermarket steering and suspension upgrades on Jeeps, Ford Broncos, and trucks. In this episode (a follow-up to our August 2024 chat on fixing death wobble), we dive deep into: - How Steer Smarts eliminates death wobble, numb steering, wandering, and insecure highway feel on JL Wranglers, JT Gladiators, and more – even on stock or mildly lifted rigs. - Real-world explanations: What *actually* causes death wobble (harmonics, deflection in factory components like track bars), vs. "wiggles" or shimmy. - Preventative upgrades: Start with the beefy solid-forged track bar + sector shaft brace for massive improvements (~$600-650 budget combo) – then add drag link, tie rod, and stabilizer. - Why Steer Smarts' Yeti XD series linkages (forged in-house, minimal outsourcing, no jam nuts, clamp-style retention) transform ride quality, reduce fatigue, and handle big tires/lifts. - Tony's personal experience: Full Steer Smarts install on his 2021 Jeep Talk Show Gladiator – night-and-day difference, wife-approved confidence, no more babysitting on the highway. - New RōMR Suspension line (launched at SEMA 2025): Fully integrated chassis systems (Trail, Ascent, Summit kits) for JL/JT – 2.5" or 3.5" lift options, tuned for 90% of enthusiasts (daily driving + moderate trails), reduced body roll, firmer/plant feel, pairs perfectly with Steer Smarts steering. - Summit Chassis System: Comprehensive overhaul (sway bars, shocks, springs, geometry corrections, steering reinforcements) – takes the guesswork out. - Tips: Diagnose first (torque checks, bushings), prevention over cure, install yourself or via dealer network, works on stock Jeeps too – not just lifted monsters. - Bonus: Tony's million-dollar ideas (candy cane tie rods? "I Survived Death Wobble" shirts?), social media handles, and tech support (888-8GO-YETI). If you're tired of white-knuckling your Jeep, chasing wobble, or wanting that confident, planted drive – this is for you!

Alexis asks about the connection between the Roman military and gladiators. Why did the army build and use its own amphitheatres, like the one at Carnuntum, with others recently identified at Megiddo and possibly Carthage and Puteoli Another puzzle is why the army engaged with gladiators at all when civilian amphitheatres already existed. Murray looks at what military amphitheatres were for in day to day army life. Were they training grounds, places of discipline, entertainment or demonstrations of Roman power He explores how common gladiator involvement with the army actually was, how units may have used them for morale or control, and what archaeology can tell us about life inside the frontier camps.

August 1991 is the thickest issue we've had in quite a while, but those extra pages were not set aside for Teen Life topics -- in fact, there isn't even a fiction story! There are, however, Kim's try-out for American Gladiators, Christina's musings on long-distance boyfriend pros and cons, a What He Said on breast size, a quick trip over a bridge (or through a tunnel) to Brooklyn for On The Road, and more. Even the bummer feature -- about polygamist Alex Joseph, his nine wives, and their many many children -- is mostly a curiosity in its day, and only a bummer in retrospect. Not a bummer? Our latest episode, featuring original music cues that WILL get stuck in your heads. Or maybe not. Enjoy!QUICK LINKS

With the scene set, it's off to the races in 1980. The NASCAR Cup Series heads out to Riverside, California, to begin the season, and sophomore Dale Earnhardt is hoping to improve his road course performance. He will, in fact, finish runner-up to Darrell Waltrip, who, after a narrow loss in the 1979 points race, is regarded as a championship favorite for this year. Dale caps his successful West Coast trip off with a new season sponsor and a contract extension with Rod Osterlund, and he's understandably feeling at the top of his game.He rolls that confidence into Daytona Beach, where he shows his first glimpses of supernatural ability on the superspeedway high banks. He makes a last lap pass on the outside of Darrell Waltrip to pick up his first victory at the track, the Busch Clash. But when all the marbles are on the line in the Daytona 500, he has to go toe to toe with Buddy Baker and the fastest stock car in the country: Waddell Wilson's Gray Ghost.This episode of Becoming Earnhardt is brought to you by Bass Pro Shops.
