Had the great pleasure to sit down with Oliver Bateman of Oliver Bateman Does the Work to discuss 1989's No Holds Barred starring Hulk Hogan. The film is a failure on most technical and artistic dimensions but retains a certain charm. I enjoyed watching it. It's free on Tubi, but you don't really need to see it in order to follow our conversation, which is only partially about the film.I've been reading Oliver's work for the past few years and he's a great writer. I suggest you go subscribe to his Substack.No paywall on this episode but please consider becoming a paid subscriber to the Granite Mtn. Movie Club. Also please share my stuff with others who you think would like it.-Granite

A trickle of water can cut through solid rock — not because it's forceful, but because it's focused.In this episode of Morning Motivation, we dive into the power of steady, repeated action and how staying laser-focused on your true goal can overcome obstacles that once seemed immovable. Progress may not be visible at first, but with time and intention, even granite yields.
During the twilight years of the nineteenth century, radical changes to local thoroughfares helped the City of Charleston evolve from a declining seaport into a tidy modern metropolis. Uniform blocks of durable granite displaced most of the city's lumpy cobblestone streets during the 1880s, after which the municipal government achieved mixed results with trials of several curious paving compounds.

What happens when a former Oregon State Trooper steps into the woods for a bear hunt — and ends up face-to-face with the unknown?In this gripping episode of Bigfoot Society, Jeremiah Byron talks with Ethan, a law enforcement veteran and lifelong outdoorsman who shares chilling encounters from deep in the Oregon wilderness. From unsettling whoops between unseen creatures to perfect three-knock patterns in the dead of night, Ethan recounts a night that changed everything. You'll hear stories from the Southern Blue Mountains, Suttle Lake, the edge of the Warm Springs Reservation, and even Prospect and Granite — places where hunters have fled, terrified, in the middle of the night.Whether it's pistol-drawn standoffs in the dark or whispered legends passed between trusted troopers, Ethan's experiences reveal the darker side of Bigfoot encounters — and the silent intelligence behind them. This isn't campfire gossip. It's boots-on-the-ground testimony from someone who swore to protect and serve... and now swears he wasn't alone.
