#podcast #jatp #Trucking #hgv What happens when you put three truckers in a room and ask them how to survive in the 1800s? You get a 10-minute debate on whether a steam-powered helicopter could actually fly and a realization that none of them actually know how to make plastic. This week, Tom is stressing over his car's MOT, Chloe is dreading a trip to the toy store, and David is trying to convince everyone that his "idea guy" persona would make him the Steve Jobs of the Middle Ages.Come for the trucking talk (including Chloe's unfortunate encounter with a very tall tree), but stay for the part where they discover the Bible has "bonus content" and that "Jingle Bells" isn't actually about Christmas. Whether you're interested in the mechanics of a ballpoint pen or the cultural phenomenon of eating KFC in Japan for Christmas dinner, this episode has absolutely everything—except, perhaps, a coherent plan for time travel.So let's strap down, let's strap in, and let's do this.http://patreon.com/JATP to support our channel.Check out Salmonslap.com to buy merchIf you are new to our Trucking Podcast, our hosts all have their own Youtube channels; Tom from Expect For Access, Chloe from Skip ChickDavid from My Trucking Skills.Tom and Chloe have their class 1 licenses and drive their HGV in the UK.

After the dreary existentialism of The Irishman, it only makes sense that Corey's pick for the week was a movie with plenty of laughs. Listen up as the dynamic duo discusses The House (2017) - the Will Ferrell/Amy Poehler vehicle that signaled a new era of the theatrical comedy. Does this underseen and critically lambasted film deserve Another Look?

PJ Chats with Fermoy's Owen O'Keefe, who shares the journey from hometown pools to a landmark 40 km swim across the massive River Plate in South America. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's what it is. The 'AnotherLook' duo finally discusses a Martin Scorsese movie. But which one? Hugo? The Aviator? Bringing Out the Dead? How about a 3.5 hour netflix-produced legacy mob epic? Yeah, that's the one. Listen up as Will's pick for the week has the podcast cycling through all the usual Scorsese topics.

Shane MacGowan lived his life as an outsider. He was an Irishman living in England, a troublemaking jug-eared punk with rotten teeth and a voracious appetite for drugs and alcohol. And with his band, The Pogues, he created a powerful synthesis of the traditional music of his homeland and a modern punk attitude. It was this gift for melding the sacred with the profane that led to the creation of one of the finest and most unique Christmas songs ever: "Fairytale of New York."

Interracial Marriage is critical to the reasons for a priesthood/temple ban on black LDS Church members. For many years, the official position of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) was that “it is not known precisely why, how, or when this restriction [on the priesthood for male members of African descent] began in the church.” However, historical research utilizing early records suggests that the origins of the ban are quite specific, pointing to a confluence of events involving race and interracial sexual relations (often called “amalgamation” or “miscegenation” at the time) that served as the primary catalyst. https://youtu.be/V3DtkTfLazM Don't miss our other conversations on the priesthood ban: https://gospeltangents.com/mormon_history/racial-priesthood-temple-ban/ Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved 0:00 Meet Stassi Cram Priesthood Before the Prejudice (1830–1846) Contradicting later restrictions, evidence shows that Black men held the priesthood and participated in temple ordinances during the earliest decades of the Church. Black Pete, the first Black convert, was baptized in 1830 and served a mission in Ohio, likely performing baptisms in January 1831. Elijah Abel, perhaps the most famous early Black Mormon, was ordained an Elder and then a Seventy in 1836, received his washing and anointing ordinance in the Kirtland Temple, and participated in baptisms for the dead in the 1840s. Joseph Ball was ordained a high priest and served as a branch president in Lowell, Massachusetts, after Joseph Smith’s death in 1844. Ball was also slated to receive his temple endowment in Nauvoo in 1845. Walker Lewis, baptized in 1843, was ordained an Elder by William Smith, and was later referred to by Brigham Young in 1847 as “one of the best elders an African in Lowell,” [Massachusetts.] Furthermore, marriage between Black and white members was not automatically prohibitive; John Teague, a white Irishman, joined the church in 1842 with his Black wife, Evelyn Wilbur, and John was ordained a priest and then an elder. These facts confirm that no formal priesthood restrictions existed before 1847. Interracial Marriage Crisis of 1847 The shift from granting the priesthood to prohibiting it appears to have been driven by the highly visible, controversial interracial relationships of two Black elders in 1846 and 1847. Warner McCary and Interracial Polygamy: McCary, a freed slave who claimed to be part Indian, was baptized by Apostle Orson Hyde in 1846. Some believe he was ordained an Elder, but this is disputed. In 1847, McCary married Lucy Stanton, a white woman, with Orson Hyde performing the wedding. McCary later caused outrage in Winter Quarters by engaging in “sealing ceremonies” with white women that included sexual intercourse witnessed by his wife. Church leaders quickly expelled McCary from the camp. Brigham Young expressed concern about “amalgamation,” or race mixing, during a meeting where McCary was discussed. Enoch Lewis and the Mixed-Race Child: Simultaneously, in Massachusetts, Enoch Lewis (son of Elder Q. Walker Lewis) married Matilda Webster, a white woman, in 1846, and they had a mixed-race infant girl in 1847. Mission president William Applebee was so disgusted upon meeting the couple and their child that he wrote a dismayed report to Brigham Young asking if it was “the order of God to be tolerated in this church to ordain negroes to the priesthood” and allow amalgamation. When Brigham Young received Applebee’s report in October 1847, he responded strongly, stating that when Black and White people “mingle seed it is death to all” and that if they were far away from non-Mormons, they would “all be killed.” Following these cases, Brigham Young privately claimed that “black-white sexual relations were against the law of God and advocated death to all who participated.” This reaction was fueled by a desire to stop interracial marriage & led to the institutional restriction. The ban was publicly affirmed on February 15, 1852, when Brigham Young addressed the Utah territorial legislature and espoused the Curse of Cain doctrine, stating that the mark of Cain “is seen in the face of every negro on the earth” and declaring that any man “having one drop of seed of Cain in him cannot hold the priesthood.” Elephant in the Room: Racism While interracial relationships may have been the catalyst that triggered the ban, many argue that this analysis ignores the underlying issue: pre-existing racial prejudice. Marguerite Driessen notes, “interracial marriage can cause no problems and it can result in no bad consequences at all unless there’s already racial prejudice to begin with.” The underlying racism allowed church leaders to: Ignore precedents like Elijah Abel's ordination. Contort accepted doctrine to justify exclusion. For example, the Second Article of Faith states that humans will be punished for their own sins, not Adam’s transgression, yet the priesthood ban relied on the “curse of Cain,” effectively punishing Black individuals for the sins of an ancestor. The notion of “accursed lineage” derived from the Book of Abraham’s account of Egyptus, which was used to justify denying saving ordinances based solely on lineage, a factor over which people have “no agency or control.” Thus, the events of 1847-1852 did not create the prejudice, but rather offered a convenient, concrete focus for leaders to impose restrictions that many members and leaders were already culturally inclined to accept. The ban was the result of church policy, not doctrine, and was maintained because the congregation was unwilling to fully accept equality until the 1978 revelation ended the restriction.

A tough week in the NFL that saw Pat Mahomes and Micah Parsons both tear their ACLs also saw a resurgent Bills team knock off the Patriots in Foxboro, a resilient Saints team battle over the Panthers (helped by an Irishman), and an ailing Washington Commanders sweep the New York Giants. We dig into what these injuries will mean, how the playoffs are shaking out, and review all the week 15 games in depth. We then look forward to next week's matchups with Seattle challenging the Rams for the NFC West crown, Chicago out for revenge against Green Bay, and Cincinnati take on Miami in a game that means nothing, but to many on those teams could mean their futures.

“Iron Mike” Malloy survived not one, not two, but more than nine attempts on his life before he finally met his end. Malloy became the target of a group of acquaintances later dubbed the “Murder Trust,” who conspired to kill him for insurance money. What followed remains one of the most astonishing strings of failed murder attempts in history. The conspirators served him cocktails laced with poison, swapped in antifreeze, turpentine, and even rat poison—none of which seemed to affect him at all. When that failed, they tried abandoning him in a snowbank to freeze, and later even staged a taxi hit-and-run. Each time, Malloy recovered, defying their plans and cementing his status as a near-mythic figure in true-crime lore. Writer Riley Knight has chronicled the story of Mike Malloy along with some of history’s other strangest deaths. Some true crime, others simply unbelievable.

Sean Blake is lucky to be alive. Through recovery via self-compassion Sean now advocates for early intervention & understanding of this mental illness. Sean Blake, an Irishman from Swords, Dublin, made his way to a Brain Conference in Brussels a couple of weeks ago. This was the first time he travelled alone as an adult, aged 43. All of this was historically linked to his own feeling of unworthiness and inadequacy. Sean's story begins in childhood, marked by years of not feeling “good enough.” This relentless inner critic eventually manifested as incessant running and starvation. After a couple of compliments on how he looked through initial fitness, he was locked into an ever-increasing path of torturous training. He was training to become invisible. He was running himself to death. By his forties, with four children observing this pattern, Sean's daily life was consumed by a regime where he was running many kilometres before ‘breakfast'. We don't mention how many kilometres as this can be a trigger of competition for other anorexics who may feel they are not doing enough in comparison. His ‘breakfast' would be the toast crusts after his children had eaten. They would remember the first time he eventually sat with them to eat a ‘normal' meal. His daughter commented at that moment that he thought his dad only ever ran and ate different food to them. Sean was lucky. A voice inside his head found a way to ask for help. When he arrived at St Patrick's Mental Health Services in Dublin, they told him he was extremely close to death and needed urgent, instant treatment. Over a period of many weeks, Sean unlocked the hold this disease had over his head. He promised himself that if he could get through those months and gain recovery, he would dedicate his voice to this cause. And that is what he has done. Sean transformed his feelings towards himself, and took a path to healing through Compassion-Focused Therapy. One of the exercises was to write a letter to himself: a letter of forgiveness and love. “That letter lifted something off my shoulders, I realised it wasn't my fault. I am good enough.” Today, Sean is a Shine See Change Ambassador, a member of NIMC's lived experience committee (NIMC is the National Implementation Monitoring Committee that  oversees  ''Sharing The Vision'' Mental Health Policy in Ireland), part of the Service User & Supporters Council at St Patrick's Mental Health Services. He also appeared in the RTÉ documentary Anorexia: My Family and Me, helping to reshape how we talk about eating disorders. In our conversation, Sean shares how recovery means learning to speak kindly to oneself. We discuss the importance of the words used as a community around food and body image; seemingly harmless words about food, fitness or weight can deeply affect those in fragile states of mind. Sean is particularly invested in working with Fitness Studios. Here, right under the observation of health advocates, lies a slightly hidden story of obsessive fitness to the point of anorexia athletica. This episode is a reminder that even the hardest stories can lead to healing when spoken aloud. https://www.instagram.com/seanblake80/?hl=en https://www.stpatricks.ie/ https://about.rte.ie/2024/10/14/rte-airs-compelling-new-documentary-anorexia-my-family-me/ https://www.bodywhys.ie/ https://www.instagram.com/gamian_europe?igsh=MTVqZzd1cmNlNWk5Mw%3D%3D

From a small Irish town to the grandest stages in Australian racing — Robbie Dolan’s story has it all. A family steeped in racing tradition, yet he was a late bloomer in the saddle. Then came the leap of faith — a one-way ticket to Australia, a dream, and a chance to prove himself as an apprentice jockey. And that he did. But Robbie’s tale doesn’t stop at the track. With an unbelievable voice and fearless spirit, he took his talent from the turf to the television, capturing hearts on The Voice Australia. And then… the fairytale finish. Against all odds, on an outsider no one saw coming, Robbie Dolan storms home to win the 2024 Melbourne Cup. It’s the kind of story that feels straight out of Hollywood — or maybe just another classic episode of The Howie Games. He is one talented Irishman! And tells it brilliantly.

Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Ben Stiller killing it w/ Severance and a new Meet the Parents movie on the horizon, Aaron & John are back once more to give their Meet the Fockers Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Review! Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey are diving into Little Fockers (2010), the third film in the beloved comedy franchise following Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers. Directed by Paul Weitz, this raunchy family comedy once again pits Greg Focker (Ben Stiller — Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, Night at the Museum) against his intimidating father-in-law Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro — Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, The Irishman) as they prepare for Greg and Pam's twins' birthday party. The all-star ensemble cast includes Teri Polo (The West Wing, The Arrival) as Pam Byrnes, Blythe Danner (Meet the Parents, The Great Santini) as Dina Byrnes, Barbra Streisand (Funny Girl, Meet the Fockers) as Roz Focker, and Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man, The Graduate) returning as Bernie Focker. The supporting cast is packed with comedy powerhouses like Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers, Loki) as Kevin, Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction) as a contractor, Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four, Sin City) as pharmaceutical rep Andi Garcia, and Laura Dern (Jurassic Park, Big Little Lies) as the headmistress of a prestigious school. Famous moments and highly searched scenes from Little Fockers include Greg's awkward “Godfocker” confrontation, the tension-filled hospital sequence, Jessica Alba's chaotic and seductive turn as Andi, and Jack's ongoing “circle of trust” test with Greg. While not as critically acclaimed as its predecessors, the film has gained attention as the outrageous capstone to the trilogy, bringing back the awkward humor, family chaos, and big-name star power fans expect. Join us as we break down the funniest scenes, react to the movie's wildest moments, and analyze how Little Fockers compares to Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers!

September 30, 1962, the last of the Golden Age of Radio. The Final episode of Suspense, broadcast at 7:05pm Sunday, September 30, 1962, 63 years ago, Devilstone.  An Irishman goes to investigate his haunted house, with unexpected results.   Christopher Carey and  Neil Fitzgerald star.Followed by Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar starring Mandel Kramer, broadcast at 7:35, Sunday, September 30, 1962, 63 years ago.  A convict in the state prison is about to die. He has a final "thank you" for Johnny for helping his kid brother get a start in life. There's still the matter of $100,000 from the convict's last safe robbery.  (That $100K would be over $1.069 Million today!)   Ironically, the gas station kid knew who Johnny Dollar was, but it didn't matter, as CBS ended the show anyway. Finally, Orson Welles Commentary, broadcast September 30, 1945, 80 years ago.  The aircheck from KECA Radio (Now KABC) gave listeners a look at what radio would become - a medium of primarily news and commentary.   The broadcast originates from Orson's home in Brentwood. Eddie Cantor introduced a new cast member on his show (Thelma Carpenter) without mentioning that she's colored. What did Eisenhower say to General Patton? We'll never know for sure. Many Roosevelt staffers are leaving the Truman administration. The main British problem is getting enough to eat. Orson answers a critic in Weehawken, New Jersey. He then tells the story of, "Bonito," the fighting bull. It's a great story, told beautifully by Orson.  No doubt, Welles was as good at commentary as he was at acting.  Thanks for supporting our podcast by using the Buy Me a Coffee function at http://classicradio.stream

With Gerard away, Laurent invited another Irishman, Killian Daly, to dive into a technical—but critically important—topic: carbon accounting, power procurement, the GHG Protocol (v3), and the push for 24/7 green energy.For as long as we can remember, companies have tried to boost their green credentials—high rewards if successful, limited consequences if they fall short. To curb exaggerated claims, standards like the GHG Protocol emerged.Laurent was part of the original task force that developed the first version of the GHG Protocol. He recalls the pivotal moment that led to the creation of Scope 2: an infamous visit to the Tomago aluminium smelter in Australia back in 2000. Fast forward two decades, and Killian Daly—now leading the forward-thinking organization EnergyTag—is driving efforts to embed 24/7 carbon accounting into the upcoming revision of Scope 2 of the GHG Protocol.It's a crucial battle—for transparency, integrity, digital innovation, and sound economics. Opposing us are certain (not all) Big Tech companies, whose actual emissions far exceed their green marketing, and fossil fuel lobbyists doing their best to delay progress.But we are making progress—and we need your help. Join the fight. Reach out to Killian Daly at EnergyTag to see how you can get involved.https://energytag.org/And don't miss a major event: Green Energy Procurement – 10th October in London, hosted with Renewabl, S&P Global, and Shoosmiths.

We're in New York this week, celebrating my mam's 90th birthday and launching The History of Money in the U.S., but the backdrop is America's deepening culture war. With the 250th anniversary of the Revolution looming, both liberals and MAGA are fighting to “own” the flag, the story, and the soul of America. We dive into Ken Burns's new PBS series The American Revolution, the forgotten role of General O'Hara (an Irishman who surrendered for the British), and why 75% of Black troops fought for the Crown. We reflect on Monica Lewinsky's powerful talk on shame in the internet age, before turning to the fallout from Charlie Kirk's killing, how one event is being weaponised to fuel division, echoing darker moments of history like Kristallnacht. And we look ahead: could the 2026 World Cup become the liberals' unlikely answer to MAGA pageantry? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
