A dive into the world of friendship with our latest "Friends Like Us" podcast episode! Marina Franklin host special guests Sharaé Nikai and David Lassiter as they talk about their incredible journey creating "The Other Gold" — a film about friendships' complexities. Watch it now on Apple TV and Tubi! Sharaé Nikai - Against industry odds, Jersey City native Sharaé Nikai wrote, produced, co-directed and starred in her very first feature film, "The Other, Gold." It is a heartfelt dramedy that follows a TV writer living in Little Tokyo as she navigates grief, isolation and the rekindling of a former BFF-ship. Out of 13,016 submissions, TOG was invited to world premiere as one of only 10 films in Tribeca's US Narrative Competition. This acclaim led to Nikai being in consideration for the 2025 Oscars, Spirit Awards and Emmys in the Outstanding Television Movie, Directing & Lead Actress categories. It also makes her the first Black female quadruple threat (sole writer/producer, director & star) to qualify for the Academy Awards with no studio or major production company backing. As a producer, Sharaé secured an exclusive Mental Health Awareness partnership for "The Other, Gold" at FOX-owned Tubi and sponsorship for its launch by Women in Film (WIF) and The Entertainment Community Fund. In March 2026, "The Other, Gold" was released worldwide in celebration of Women's History Month exclusively on Apple TV. In addition to TOG, Nikai appears in numerous ad campaigns, films and TV series including Grey's Anatomy and opposite Alison Brie in Sundance's "Horse Girl" (The DuPlass Bros/Netflix). Currently, she is the 2026 international voice of Nordstrom Rack all while developing her dramedy driven TV/film slate. In her spare time, Sharaé takes serious pride in the accent mark over her "e" and is the reigning (read: self-proclaimed) trap karaoke queen. David Lassiter is an American filmmaker, actor, writer, and musician from Jersey City, New Jersey. He co-directed and appeared in the feature film The Other, Gold (2024), which premiered at the Tribeca Festival before streaming on Apple TV+ and Tubi. Before transitioning into filmmaking, Lassiter worked as a fashion model and was signed to Wilhelmina Models, appearing in campaigns and editorial work for brands and publications including Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Vogue, GQ, Banana Republic, Swatch, and Levi's. He later studied acting in New York at HB Studio, Susan Batson Studio, and WB Workshops while appearing in national campaigns for Verizon, Macy's, and American Eagle. Lassiter also collaborated with Viacom on street-interview segments featured on MTV and MTV2.

Not “I WAS”, I am. Or, if you look at the raw Greek manuscript that the Apostle John penned, it is the two-word phrase: Ἐγώ εἰμι“Ego Eimi”.Jesus claimed self-existence—an uncreated, eternal nature that has no beginning, no end, and relies on absolutely nothing else to exist.The Pharasees knew exactly who Jesus said He was and IS. “I AM THAT I AM... Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.” (Exodus 3:14 Jesus was appropriating the unutterable Name of Yahweh for Himself. "So they picked up stones to throw at Him."

GREAT EPISODE! J Gulinello ( http://www.HealthReclamationProject.com ) returns for this week's finale, and we had Matt lined up too but as soon as he got to the studio he was called away. We are going to laugh at WIRED magazine intentionally missing the point about the new HHS protein/dietary guidelines and deciding to make a melodramatic video about how high protein was making his tummy ache. Hysterical. The Virginia redistricting story is a hot glimpse into the oppressive intentions of the American left. Rep Luna says there is unreleased JFK footage on the way, and many more fun, funny, interesting extras that span from health to conspiracy theory. GREAT EPISODE!

Fresh (barely) off Tony's stag do on Saturday night, the rugby gods showed absolutely zero mercy… delivering one of the most chaotic, dramatic, and all-time great Six Nations finales we've ever witnessed.Running on fumes and questionable life choices, Tony and Mark try to make sense of a weekend that had everything.Wales finally get their moment—after weeks of showing promise without reward, they get the chocolates against a dangerous Italy side that just couldn't quite fire when it mattered.Scotland… well, Scotland did what Scotland do against Ireland. Ireland get the job done with a bonus point win, and for a brief, slightly nauseating moment, found themselves as diehard England fans, praying for one last twist.And then… it happened.A battered, doubted, and heavily criticised Steve Borthwick-led England side almost pulled off the unthinkable—before Thomas Ramos, the ice man himself, stepped up and absolutely ripped their hearts out with a clutch extra-time penalty to seal it for France.Three unreal games. Absolute chaos. Championship on the line. Limbs everywhere.We break it all down—with a healthy dose of nonsense, questionable analysis, and lingering hangovers.Apologies in advance for any audio issues… but grab a beer and enjoy

On February 16th, 2026, at 2:30 in the morning, Caleb Flynn called 911 from his home in Tipp City, Ohio. He was frantic. Hysterical. He said someone had broken into his house and shot his wife twice in the head. He called out her name. He said her face had gone white. He begged the dispatcher to hurry.His wife, Ashley Flynn, 37, was pronounced dead at the scene.Three days later, Caleb Flynn was arrested and charged with her murder.Prosecutors allege Flynn — a former worship leader, music pastor, and American Idol contestant who once told national television that he loved his wife more than anything in the world — shot Ashley with a 9mm handgun and staged the crime scene to look like a home invasion. According to the criminal complaint, investigators were "led astray by the staging of the crime scene." K-9 units and a drone swept the neighborhood looking for an intruder that, according to prosecutors, never existed.What unraveled the story wasn't cutting-edge forensics. It was a refrigerator — a large appliance pushed up against the only door an intruder could have used to enter. A door you can't push a refrigerator back against from the outside.Ashley Flynn was a seventh-grade volleyball coach, a substitute teacher, a LifeWise Academy instructor, and a woman her community described as a pillar of their church. She died eight days before her 38th birthday while her two daughters slept down the hall. The town of Tipp City tied red and white ribbons around every streetlamp on Main Street. A GoFundMe raised nearly $96,000 in two days. The celebration of life that had been planned for Sunday was canceled the day Caleb was booked into the Miami County Jail.Flynn pleaded not guilty. His attorney called the arrest a rush to judgment. Ashley's family released a statement saying they trust law enforcement took the proper steps. The FBI is involved. The preliminary hearing is scheduled for February 26th.Today on Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski walks through everything we know — the 911 call, the crime scene, the staging, the community response, and the moment Ashley Flynn's own family publicly stood behind the prosecution.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Have you ever discovered a betrayal—infidelity, a lie, or a discard—and suddenly felt a surge of intense desire to be close to the person who hurt you? That isn't love—it's Hysterical Bonding.Hysterical bonding is a biological survival response. When a narcissist pulls away or betrays you, your brain treats the loss of the relationship as a life-or-death threat. This triggers a frantic need to reclaim the bond, often through intense physical intimacy or emotional desperation, just to feel "safe" again.In this video, I'm breaking down this phenomenon from the perspective of a self-aware narcissist. I'm explaining why this response is exactly what a narcissist wants, because it resets the cycle and gives them ultimate control over your panic.IN THIS VIDEO:The Panic Response: Why betrayal leads to an obsession with reconnection.Biological Warfare: How your own hormones (Oxytocin/Dopamine) keep you trapped.The Narcissist's Reset: Why we use your "bonding" to avoid accountability for what we did.Breaking the Cycle: How to recognize the difference between love and trauma-induced panic.Your body is reacting to a threat. Don't let the narcissist convince you that your panic is "passion."Connect with Lee:My Courses: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://courses.mentalhealness.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All My Link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.page/mentalhealness ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesssIf this episode helped you gain clarity, please leave a 5-star review on Spotify!

“Do you really think being a grandparent actually keeps you young?”That simple question sparks a hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt episode of The Sandy Show — one packed with laugh‑out‑loud marital bickering, outrageous theories, and those honest moments that keep listeners coming back for more.

Marco Rubio absolutely dominated Senate Democrats during a heated oversight hearing, shutting down weak gotcha attempts from Tim Kaine, Tammy Duckworth, and others. From Cuba regime change to Venezuela, cartels, and the Alien Enemies Act, Rubio calmly exposed the left’s confusion, hypocrisy, and lack of basic facts. This was a masterclass in foreign policy, law, and leadership—and a brutal reality check for Democrats clearly outmatched.
