In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Dwan Bent-Twyford, known as the Queen of Short Sales, for a raw, funny, and powerful conversation about real estate, survival, faith, family, and betting on yourself.Dwan shares how she went from growing up in small-town Ohio, working factory and restaurant jobs, becoming a single mom, and facing a major life setback, to knocking on foreclosure doors with a baby on her hip and making $22,000 on her very first real estate deal.From there, her story gets even crazier.She talks about learning rehabs the hard way, using a Home Depot credit card to get started, building a real estate career with no fancy background, doing more than 2,000 deals, writing books, becoming nationally known in the short sale space, and eventually helping revitalize downtown Clinton, Iowa with her husband Bill Twyford.Dwan also opens up about Bill's serious health battle, the decision their family had to make, and how that experience shaped their outlook on risk, faith, family, and taking action before it's too late.This episode is blunt, emotional, hilarious, and full of real lessons for anyone trying to build something bigger than where they started.Listen now to hear Dwan's story and why sometimes the best move is betting on yourself before anyone else does.You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at www.tedkaasch.com Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owen.dashner Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/odawg2424/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - https://magicdoor.com/reia/...

This week, Tom and Dave take a trip through three movies that range from "pretty good" to "what the hell were they thinking?" First up is Tobe Hooper's least proud moment since Crocodile, The Toolbox Murders, a remake of the sick 70s slasher. Where a guy turns a trip to Home Depot into a murder spree. Then it's The Hearse, a movie that makes Dave and Tom switch opinions on the slow paced art house horror. Finally, they revisit Rage: Carrie 2, proving that the solution to teen bullying is apparently never therapy and always telekinesis. Enjoy!

Something of a bombshell has just dropped. Elon Musk, through the historic IPO of SpaceX on the Nasdaq — just became the world's first trillionaire. One trillion dollars. And the left's immediate reaction wasn't "how did he build that?" It was "how do we take it?" And I want you to understand something, because this is so important — the same people screaming about one trillion dollars in private wealth are completely silent about the three to four trillion dollars in wealth transfer payments the federal government moves every single year. Not a word.SPONSOR: Lear CapitalGold and silver have hit all-time highs, and experts are forecasting even higher prices ahead, with some predicting gold could reach $5,000 to $6,000 an ounce and silver $100 to $150.

The robotics industry is quietly emerging as one of the most undervalued opportunities for real estate investors today. While mainstream attention focuses heavily on software and AI, physical automation is simultaneously transforming how assets are constructed and operated. The global robotics market currently sits at roughly $70 billion and is projected by McKinsey to cross $260 billion by 2030. This exponential growth mirrors the e-commerce warehouse boom of 2010, offering massive upside for investors positioned ahead of the curve.In this episode, we break down the two primary avenues robotics will impact real estate: significantly lowering hard construction costs and drastically reducing ongoing operational expenses. From 3D-printed homes by ICON cutting building costs by 20% to 30%, to humanoid robots reducing hospitality labor expenses by up to 35%, the financial implications are profound. Listeners will learn exactly how to capitalize on this shift, including specific publicly traded companies, REITs, and upcoming IPOs directly exposed to real estate automation.Key Topics DiscussedThe current $70 billion valuation of the robotics industry and projections reaching $260 billion by 2030.How ICON Technology's 3D-printed homes are decreasing traditional stick frame construction costs by 20% to 30%.The impact of autonomous rebar-tying robots reducing structural labor needs by 40%.Keen Robotics and Figure AI streamlining commercial facility management and cutting hospitality labor costs.Why Prologis is capturing a 200 basis point occupancy premium for robotics-enabled industrial facilities.Specific actionable investment vehicles including REITs, automation infrastructure stocks, and upcoming AI IPOs.Key TakeawaysA 30% reduction in labor costs for a standard 200-room hotel can translate to over $11 million in added asset value based on standard cap rates.Investors who target companies building durable competitive advantages through robotics integration will secure a significant economic moat.Industrial REITs are already proving that commercial tenants are willing to pay a premium to occupy tech-forward, automation-ready buildings.The entire global robotics sector is currently valued lower than Home Depot's market cap, highlighting the immense remaining upside.Connect & Take Action:Wealth Intelligence Brief: Text "WIB" to 844-447-1555 to get Matty's free macro data, real estate intel, and crypto signals delivered to your inbox 3 times a week.Imagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

In a typewritten question left for the Wichita Police Department in January of 2005, Dennis Rader asked the cops, in writing, whether a floppy disk could be traced back to him. The question was inside an empty cereal box he had left for them in the bed of a pickup truck at a Home Depot parking lot. He signed it with his self-given initials. He asked them to be honest.The Wichita Police Department answered through a small classified ad in the Wichita Eagle. They told him no. A floppy disk could not be traced.That was not true.In the fifth and final chapter of True Crime Today's BTK investigation, host Tony Brueski walks through the trap Lieutenant Ken Landwehr had been building since March of 2004. The thirteen-year silence Rader broke when he could no longer tolerate being ignored. The eleven separate communications that followed. The eleven months of polite, formal responses through classified ads that fed Rader's hunger for attention while the task force quietly built its case.The episode covers the February 16, 2005, arrival of a purple Memorex floppy disk at KSAS-TV in Wichita. The Microsoft Word file metadata that named Christ Lutheran Church in Park City and a user account named Dennis. The phone call from Wichita Police to Pastor Michael Clark that ended the case in a single conversation. The DNA confirmation from Rader's daughter Kerri Rawson's medical records, obtained under warrant without her knowledge or consent at the time. The February 25, 2005, arrest. The thirty-plus-hour confession.Dennis Rader was not caught by sketches, voice recordings, or FBI profiles. He was caught by his own vanity asking a question and his own ego believing the answer.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On January 8, 2005, the Wichita Police Department received a typewritten question from the BTK Killer. Dennis Rader had left it inside an empty cereal box in the bed of a pickup truck at a Home Depot parking lot. He wanted the police to tell him, in writing, whether a floppy disk could be traced back to his computer. He asked them to be honest.They lied.In the fifth and final chapter of host Tony Brueski's Hidden Killers BTK investigation, the trap Lieutenant Ken Landwehr built over the eleven months of Rader's 2004 communications is walked through in detail. The thirteen-year silence Rader broke in March of 2004 when he could no longer stand being ignored. The eleven communications that followed. The Wegerle driver's license that freed Bill Wegerle by accident. The strategic decision by Landwehr to write back, politely, formally, through classified ads, instead of refusing to engage. The eleven months of feeding Dennis Rader's hunger for attention while quietly building a case.The episode covers the classified ad that ended the case: "Rex, it will be OK." The lie Rader believed. The purple Memorex floppy disk mailed to KSAS-TV on February 16, 2005. The Microsoft Word file titled Test A.RTF whose metadata named Christ Lutheran Church and a user account named Dennis. The phone call to Pastor Michael Clark. The DNA confirmation. The arrest. The confession. The sentencing speech where Dennis Rader read the names of his confirmed victims like a roll call he was finally getting to deliver. Judge Greg Waller's ten consecutive life sentences with no possibility of parole for at least one hundred seventy-five years.This is the fifth and final uncomfortable truth of the series.

Jeff Bezos quit a six-figure salary at a hedge fund, drove cross-country in a used Honda, and built Amazon from the garage of a rental house on a door propped up by Home Depot lumber. Howard Schultz was rejected by 217 investors before a single one said yes. Both stories dismantle the conventional thinking about success held by society. The real definition of hard work, Darren argues, is not a schedule. It's a mindset, the invisible grind, the willingness to own what no one else will.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (6.4) Primm Casino Rescue, Viral Trader Joe’s Gummies & Adam Carolla Tonight, we start with a possible last-minute save for the Primm casino resorts. Las Vegas-based LV Petroleum has emerged as a potential new owner and operator for the casino properties and travel amenities, just as the complex was previously scheduled to shut down permanently on July 4 after Affinity Gaming announced it would cease operations. Then, Trader Joe’s Sweet & Sour Gummy Worms are going viral—but not just because they’re zero sugar. One 8-piece serving packs 14 grams of fiber, which is about half the recommended daily amount. The problem? They taste like candy, so unsuspecting customers are eating way more than one serving—and finding out the hard way what too much fiber can do. At 9:35, Adam Carolla joins the show to talk about local politics, the state of California, and his very specific Home Depot habits. Plus, more with Adam on his KROQ Anniversary Show happening June 20, along with details on the upcoming documentary and why longtime radio fans will want to be there.

This week's experiment: the shimmering, logic‑defying pop‑music fever dream known as Glitter. A film that dares to ask, “What if Mariah Carey starred in her own A Star Is Born?” and then immediately forgets to answer because it got distracted by a sparkly butterfly.Set in a version of 1980s New York that appears to have been reconstructed entirely from perfume commercials and vague memories, Glitter is less a movie and more an extended montage that occasionally remembers it should have dialogue. Plot threads drift in and out like they're late for a different film, emotional beats land with the grace of a dropped microphone, and the editing suggests someone was frantically trying to escape the room while cutting it.Mariah whisper‑acts her way through heartbreak, fame, and several questionable wardrobe choices, while her love interest delivers a performance so beige it could be sold at Home Depot. It's not just a movie, it's a stress test. Of patience. Of endurance. Of Brad's ability to keep his soul from leaving his body mid‑episode. And this week, we find out whether he can survive ninety minutes of glitter‑coated melodrama… or if this is the moment he finally, truly, spectacularly breaks.Be sure to subscribe to the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema to hear more of Sammy.

Danny Moses interviews Larry McDonald on how several prior calls played out, including regulatory relief for banks, a rotation into hard assets and energy, and AI-linked nuclear exposure via NUKZ. McDonald argues the economy is increasingly K-shaped: wealthy consumers benefit from higher money-market yields and AI CapEx, while consumer-facing companies like McDonald's, Home Depot, and retailers weaken, pushing money into crowded tech trades. They discuss risks from massive AI/space IPOs entering indexes, the “dark side” of passive investing, and the potential for an inflation rebound driven by oil, summer demand, and Middle East disruptions, which could spur rotation from tech into commodities. McDonald outlines constraints from rising debt interest costs, a stagflation risk, a plan to force banks to buy Treasuries, and opportunities in gold miners and uranium amid looming supply deficits, plus election-driven value setups in Brazil. -- ABOUT THE SHOW For decades, Danny has seen it all on Wall Street and has built his reputation on integrity, curiosity and skepticism that he will bring with him each week. Having traded through the Great Financial Crisis and being featured in "The Big Short" is only part of the experiences Danny wants to share with the listener.

Hand-delivering a paper flower arrangement looks simple from the outside, until you are standing in your driveway realizing the giant blooms you spent weeks building will not fit in your downsized car. In this episode, Quynh, Jessie, and Sara open up about their real-world transport systems, the trial-and-error moments that shaped them, and the surprisingly small tools that make a big difference. “I put it in a box, then on a no-slip rubber mat, then in a crate, and then I wrap a towel around it. Even if I have to brake hard, the vase will not fall over.” - Quynh From wholesale market boxes and no-slip rubber mats to collapsible carts, radio flyer wagons, and the humble tablecloth that turns a chaotic backstage into a clean booth, this is a tactical episode packed with tips you can use the next time you deliver an arrangement, set up at an art fair, or teach a workshop on the road. “If it is for a show or exhibition and the piece will also be sold, the box has to be big enough to hold packing materials, so the buyer can take it home that same day.” - Jessie They also share a few favorite finds: Sara is hooked on snail mail subscriptions (and just launched her own), Jessie shares an update on the Werola extra-fine crepe paper artist line she, Quynh, and a fellow artist have been co-developing for three years, and Quynh raves about a Bellevue bubble tea spot called Unique Greens. Here's what we cover in this episode: Why hand delivery is often the safer (and more trusted) option for paper florists Sara's collapsible system for transporting giant paper flowers Quynh's layered method: vase box, no-slip mat, crate, towel brace Jessie's approach to packing for shows where the flower may also be sold Why your paper flowers are usually sturdier than people assume The Amazon collapsible cart Quynh swears by for art fairs and workshops Using painter's paper from Home Depot to protect workshop tables The tablecloth trick that turns any backstage corner into a clean booth Why a two-hour delivery buffer is a gift to your future self Designing collapsible flower structures for reusable client backdrops “The biggest thing I learned with giant flowers is that I need to make them collapsible. If the structure cannot come apart and go back together, you cannot really transport it.” - Sara Resources and links mentioned Collapsible two-tier cart with crates (search Amazon for collapsible rolling cart with platform) Radio Flyer wagon (an underrated transport option) Home Depot painter's paper rolls (brown and dusty pink) Werola extra-fine crepe paper artist line (launching soon, carried in the US by Petals and Pearls Design and Rose Mille) Unique Greens bubble tea (Bellevue, WA) — orange jasmine tea with tea jelly, zero sugar Sara's new snail mail subscription service The Best Thing We Bought that Bring Us Joy Quynh: UG Unique Green Tea Jessie: Werola Artist Line Extra Fine Crepe Paper Paper Talk is supported by our community of readers and listeners.

I don't know what's happening to me lately, but masculine energy is absolutely wrecking me

Danny Moses interviews Larry McDonald on how several prior calls played out, including regulatory relief for banks, a rotation into hard assets and energy, and AI-linked nuclear exposure via NUKZ. McDonald argues the economy is increasingly K-shaped: wealthy consumers benefit from higher money-market yields and AI CapEx, while consumer-facing companies like McDonald's, Home Depot, and retailers weaken, pushing money into crowded tech trades. They discuss risks from massive AI/space IPOs entering indexes, the “dark side” of passive investing, and the potential for an inflation rebound driven by oil, summer demand, and Middle East disruptions, which could spur rotation from tech into commodities. McDonald outlines constraints from rising debt interest costs, a stagflation risk, a plan to force banks to buy Treasuries, and opportunities in gold miners and uranium amid looming supply deficits, plus election-driven value setups in Brazil.--ABOUT THE SHOWFor decades, Danny has seen it all on Wall Street and has built his reputation on integrity, curiosity and skepticism that he will bring with him each week. Having traded through the Great Financial Crisis and being featured in "The Big Short" is only part of the experiences Danny wants to share with the listener.

In this episode, we kick things off with a major legal victory for shippers facing liability exposure in Texas. Just one day after Alabama's Supreme Court expanded broker liability in safety incidents, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that Home Depot cannot be held liable for a fatal crash involving Werner Enterprises. The court determined that simply hiring an independent contractor to haul freight does not create tort liability for the shipper, effectively blocking sweeping safety claims untethered from control or conduct. Next, we explore a blockbuster consolidation reshaping how small and midsize businesses access freight capacity. Dallas-based WWEX Group and shipping software provider Auctane have completed their merger to create ShipStation Global, a new logistics powerhouse serving over three million customers. Backed by private equity firm Thoma Bravo, the combined entity handles over three billion shipments annually and connects parcel, LTL, truckload and international services through a single technology platform. Finally, we head across the Atlantic to examine how FedEx is investing heavily in European ground infrastructure to support its premium air cargo ambitions. The express giant is pouring fifty-four million dollars into expanding a major trucking hub in the Netherlands, increasing palletized freight capacity by over fifty percent. This strategic expansion supports FedEx's truck-fly-truck delivery model and its aggressive push to capture a larger share of the ninety billion dollar deferred air cargo market.

In this episode, we break down a wide range of market stories, starting with SpaceX’s potential IPO and what its S-1 reveals about the business. We look at the company’s major segments, including Starlink, launch services, and xAI, while discussing the massive valuation being floated and why investors may want to be cautious around the hype. We also cover Nvidia’s latest blockbuster earnings, the continued strength in AI infrastructure demand, and why the stock’s muted reaction says a lot about how much growth is already priced in. From there, we turn to Walmart, Lowe’s, and Home Depot to see what they are saying about the consumer, higher fuel costs, and the pressure still hitting DIY and housing-related spending. Finally, we discuss the start of Canadian bank earnings season with Scotiabank, including its improving return on equity, lower provisions, and why Canadian banks continue to show resilience despite concerns around the broader economy.

Life hits hard. Pavement hits harder.On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, Rizz suffers a catastrophic public wipeout outside the Wildwood post office after attempting the impossible: carrying multiple packages while existing over the age of 30. What starts as a simple errand instantly turns into a full public humiliation event featuring flying boxes, ripped jeans, one silent elderly witness, and the horrifying realization that falling in public no longer looks “funny” — it looks medically expensive. Honestly, this might be the most relatable thing this daily comedy show has ever discussed.Naturally, the crew immediately spirals into a deep conversation about aging, embarrassment recovery strategies, and the exact moment your body transitions from “athletic” to “fragile Home Depot lawn decoration.” Meanwhile, Rafe contributes his own emotional damage after stepping barefoot into dog poop TWICE in under 30 seconds. One mystery pile. One homemade disaster. Somehow bleach, Q-tips, and psychological trauma all become part of the story. This is what happens when a daily comedy show is powered entirely by caffeine, sarcasm, and questionable life choices.The chaos somehow escalates from there:Would you admit to clogging a gas station toilet during a road trip?If cartel money washes ashore… are you legally required to be honest?Is keeping accidental extra cash from a cashier technically stealing or just “winning?”Why do modern cars all look like Pixar characters with anxiety?And at what point does your neighborhood friend become a full HOA supervillain?Then the show pivots into celebrity chaos, nostalgia, and existential dread because apparently everyone realized June is already here and adulthood is basically one long speedrun toward knee pain and suspiciously loud joints. The crew debates Ozzy Osbourne AI avatars, Taylor Swift's viral kindness, Russell Crowe vs autograph seekers, and whether Barry Gibb secretly teaches funk magic at Hogwarts while moisturized somewhere in Miami. Completely normal topics for functioning adults.Also:Burt Reynolds chest hair appreciation becomes weirdly emotionalRoxette triggers an accidental 80s nostalgia spiralYellowstone spin-offs continue multiplying like raccoons behind a dumpsterTV's most shocking character deaths reopen old emotional woundsSomebody incorrectly declares Barry Gibb dead and immediately gets corrected by the roomAnd because society apparently enjoys suffering, the crew tackles the modern horror known as tipping culture. Why are frozen yogurt machines asking for 25% tips when YOU did literally everything except plug the machine into the wall? Is a $9 tip on a $600 steak dinner grounds for prison? Why do Costco employees reject tips like undercover federal agents? Nobody knows anymore. America feels tired.Chris Kerber joins the show to absolutely torch WalletHub's “Best Hockey Cities” rankings, the gang debates NHL expansion rumors, and hockey nicknames somehow sound like rejected mobster aliases from a low-budget casino movie.The episode also takes a heartfelt moment to honor listener Danielle following her tragic passing after injuries sustained during PointFest. The show sends love to her fiancé Jason, family, and friends during an incredibly difficult time.This episode has everything:public humiliation, celebrity gossip, hockey rage, AI weirdness, dog poop trauma, tipping arguments, nostalgic movie debates, existential panic, and middle-aged chaos wrapped into one beautiful disaster of a daily comedy show.If you enjoy sarcastic humor, weird news, celebrity fails, comedy podcast chaos, and hearing grown adults argue passionately about frozen yogurt economics and cartel ethics… welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Blind North Chicago man sues Grayslake car dealership alleging they pulled ‘bait and switch' during new car purchaseFalkville votes to end 140-year alcohol ban by single voteNew AI pet translator claims it can understand dogs and catsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (5.26) Conway celebrates his 22nd wedding anniversary at Monte’s Steakhouse, but the night takes a hilarious turn when he refuses to valet and ends up Ubering back to his own car. Classic Conway. Then it’s off to Home Depot, where Conway gets trapped in a solar sales pitch and starts lying his way out — only the lie keeps getting deeper. The crew breaks down the art of “compliment and leave,” why Conway drives all the way to the Sylmar Home Depot, and the sacred world of guy talk: solar, cars, meat, football, and nonsense. Plus, the show dives into Naked and Afraid demographics, Comics Unleashed possibly replacing Stephen Colbert, Irvine ranking as one of the best U.S. cities to raise a family, a 9-foot Lionel Messi soccer collectible, The Foosh turnaround, and the tragic story of a woman killed by a patio umbrella during a wild South Carolina storm.

In episode 303 of Remarkable Retail, Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc deliver a sharp, fast-moving episode built around a single conviction from one of retail's most influential retailers: the future is people-led and tech-enabled. Chris Nicholas, former President & CEO of Sam's Club and now President & CEO of Walmart International — a global operation spanning 18 countries, 5,700 stores, and over 500,000 employees shares how humanity and technology are intertwined to drive growth. In this encore interview, Chris makes the case that retail innovation isn't about replacing people with technology. It's about using AI and digital tools to strip out friction, empower associates, and build better member experiences. Technology serves the human, not the other way around. Chris unpacks Sam's Club's nearly $90 billion membership-driven model and explains why the warehouse club sector keeps gaining momentum worldwide. He goes deep on the "club of the future" strategy — including the closely watched Grapevine, Texas location with computer vision-powered exits, Scan & Go checkout, AI-enabled shopping, and a radically redesigned store built around convenience, inspiration, and engagement. His core belief: consumers everywhere want the same things — value, convenience, innovation, and experiences that genuinely improve their lives. Before the interview, the hosts break down a blockbuster earnings week. Walmart posts another massive quarter, adding a staggering $18 billion in quarterly revenue while investing aggressively in price to hold share against inflation. Target delivers one of its strongest quarters in years, a sign its turnaround may finally be gaining traction. TJX proves resilient yet again as off-price rides the consumer "stampede to value." Home Depot and Lowe's, meanwhile, keep struggling in a sluggish housing and renovation market as higher rates squeeze big-ticket spending. The episode closes with Shein's surprising acquisition of Everlane — which Steve calls "where irony goes to die," given Everlane's brand built on radical transparency. Steve and Michael also dig into rising bond yields and the broader implications of AI legislation and the growing political clout of major technology investors like Andreessen Horowitz.
