On this powerful episode of Tin Foil Hat, we welcome spiritual healer and mystic Jaya Simrit Kaur to unravel the truth behind modern-day healing, the rise of AI, and what it really means to walk the spiritual path. Jaya calls out the illusion of “love and light” influencers and explains why real transformation isn't found in surface-level readings or mindset hacks—but through deep nervous system healing, ancestral work, and energetic regeneration. She breaks down the danger of spiritual bypassing, the misuse of AI as a false oracle, and how trauma blocks true manifestation. With stark warnings about AI's existential risks and its impact on human psyche and inner knowing, Jaya challenges listeners to reclaim their discernment, step into real spiritual initiation, and find healing in community—not codependency on tech. This is a wake-up call for anyone ready to go beyond the performance and into authentic spiritual power.   Please subscribe to the new Tin Foil Hat youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@TinFoilHatYoutube Check out Sam Tripoli new crowd work special "Black Crack Robots" now for free. https://youtu.be/_FKugOeYaLc Check out Sam Tripoli's 2nd New Crowd Work Special “Potty Mouth” on YouTube for free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22j3Ds5ArjM Grab your copy of the 2nd issue of the Chaos Twins now and join the Army Of Chaos: https://bit.ly/415fDfY Check out Sam "DoomScrollin with Sam Tripoli and Midnight Mike" Every Tuesday At 4pm pst on Youtube, X Twitter, Rumble and Rokfin!

Has Hollywood ruined the new Superman movie by going woke???Director James Gunn sparked the sensible Republican super outrage by telling the Times of London, “I mean, Superman is the story of America. An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country. But for me, it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Alcohol is draining more than your energy: it's also draining your potential and your revenue. Today's guest James Swanwick breaks it down like this: If you're making $1 million a year… but only operating at 60%, how much are you actually leaving on the table?  James is an alcohol-free trailblazer, entrepreneur, and author of the new book, CLEAR. He's living proof that ditching alcohol is the ultimate power move for high achievers, espousing the philosophy that successful people do not drink. In our conversation, he talks about the decision to go alcohol-free 15 years ago, which at the time, had serious stigma attached to it. We also discuss the tidal wave of change happening, from sober raves to the fact that Gen Z is drinking less than ANY previous generation. If you're curious what really separates breakthrough performers from the rest, this episode is a must-listen. Will you be one of the leaders who chooses the alcohol-free edge?   IN THIS EPISODE: How James went from feeling “blah” and “mediocre” as a Hollywood journalist drinking nightly to an entrepreneur and ESPN anchor via a 30-day break from alcohol Eye-opening stories of high achievers James has worked with who went alcohol-free: one man saved a child's life, another sailed the ocean for his late wife  The REAL cost of drinking for entrepreneurs: how “just one drink a night” can literally be draining you of hundreds of thousands of dollars in opportunities, focus, and legacy The “tidal wave” alcohol-free revolution we're heading toward, led by Gen Z, from sunrise sober raves to new cancer warning labels Powerful people who don't drink, from JLo to Warren Buffet, and reframing ditching alcohol as the gateway to fulfillment, peak performance, and genuine joy   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Read James Swanwick's new book, CLEAR: The Only Neuroscience-Based Method for High Achievers to Quit Drinking Without Willpower, Rehab or AA.

 Rennie and I are back with another installment of Kill or Be Killed, our exploration of crime films from the 70's and early 80's.  With the passing of Gene Hackman, this episode is somewhat in memoriam of a great, prolific actor.  THE FRENCH CONNECTION established Hackman as a force in Hollywood as well as heralding in a new wave of darkly realistic crime movies.

Look out for Supergirl! Loads of Hollywood news plus an interview with The Trouble With Tessa directors Dennis Cahlo and Bethany Watson along with Death & Taxes documentary filmmaker Justin Schein. Hilarity ensues?

The Emmy nominees were released yesterday.

Hocus Pocus was released on this day and Sofia Vergara's sister is joining a show. 

Hosted by Burning Bright and Chris Paul, this episode revisits David Fincher's 2011 film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with fresh eyes and hard questions. The hosts break down the film's grim narrative of elite depravity, ritualistic abuse, and generational corruption, connecting it to real-world stories like Epstein, media psyops, and the weaponization of sexual crimes for cultural engineering. They examine how the film's bleak view of masculinity, its heavy-handed depiction of Nazis, and its graphic scenes of violence and assault blurred the line between storytelling and exploitation. Alongside reflections on Hollywood's complicity and the rise of the “strong female lead” archetype, the conversation veers into how narratives were shaped to seed public demoralization and prime the MeToo era. The hosts also debate whether such stories are cautionary tales or deliberate attempts to normalize the monstrous. As the discussion moves from film critique to cultural analysis, the episode offers a deeper look at how popular media can shape, distort, or reveal uncomfortable truths about the powerful.

Here are your Emmy nominations...

The boys move on to discuss the latest Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory news. They shift gears and touch base on their comedy career goals.

This leads to a random conversation about the super wealthy and buying private islands. Dean shares a story about the homeless guy living outside of his Hollywood apartment building.

The fellas close the show with the news - A study shows that the smell of donuts is a turn-on for men, the average American man spends $2,300 a year on dates, and quitting your job is better for your health than quitting smoking.    00:00 Intro 00:30 Cruise Ship Secrets 11:00 Jeffrey Epstein Update 15:00 Comedy Career Goals 23:00 Adults Only Vacations 29:00 Buying Private Islands 40:00 Hollywood Homeless 46:00 Deportation Debate 51:00 Terrible Jobs 55:00 Dealing Drugs 1:00:00 Weekly News Update   Outro: “Funk Doctor” by Gee Dubs   Social Media: Instagram: @randyvalerio @readysetblowpodcast Twitter: @randytvalerio @readysetblowpodcast TikTok: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpod YouTube:   @randyvaleriocomedy   @readysetblowpodcast     #comedypodcast #comedy #podcast #news #advice #standup #standupcomedy #comedian #jokes #politics #relationships #dating #cruise #carnivalcruise #cruiseship #cruises  #jeffreyepstein #epstein #epsteinlist #epsteincase #epsteinisland #epsteinlist #epsteinfiles  #conspiracytheory #conspiracy #career #careergoals #vacation #adult  #adultsonly #privateisland #realestate #wealthy #rich #billionaire #hollywood #homeless #homelessness #immigration #deportation #massdeportations #badjobs #jobs #terriblejobs #donut #turnon #datingadvice #datingtips #quityourjob #quitting #health #healthy #ai #onlyfans

Ibrahim Akasha was the kingpin of East Africa's heroin highway, setting up a massive tracking empire that stretched from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran to Kenya, South Africa and Europe. When he was gunned down in 2000, his sons stepped into the void, hungrier and even more violent...but also, more sloppy. They struck deals with Pakistani mobsters and Colombian cartels, turning Kenya's ports into gateways for global dope. But their empire crumbled in a DEA sting straight out of a Hollywood script.

In this episode, Ruslan explores the intense physical transformations of Christian Bale and 50 Cent — and the deeper questions behind them. Why did Bale starve himself to play a guilt-ridden insomniac in The Machinist, then bulk up beyond recognition to become Batman? Why did 50 Cent shed over 50 pounds for a little-known movie about his friend's battle with cancer?Ruslan unpacks these two stories to examine what really fuels our ambition. Is it love and meaning, like 50 Cent's tribute to his friend? Or is it ego and insecurity, like Bale admitted about pushing himself too far?You'll hear how the Bible distinguishes between selfish ambition that destroys and godly ambition that glorifies God and serves others. Ruslan also shares practical insights on how to discern your own motives and embrace ambition as stewardship — using your gifts with humility and excellence.If you've ever wrestled with the tension between wanting more and honoring God, this episode will challenge and inspire you to ask: What's really driving me?

During a peak era for Hollywood produced conspiracy thrillers, this was one of the most popular and for good reasons.  It was directed by the late, great Oscar-winner Sydney Pollack (Out of Africa, Tootsie, The Firm) and starred two of the most beautiful and enduring stars of this era.  Robert Redford (The Sting, Indecent Proposal) stars as Turner who is an mild-mannered analyst for the CIA who suddenly finds every one in his New York City research office brutally murdered while he went out of lunch....and now he's on the run to get answers, also before some one murders him.  Along the way, he encounters Kathy played by Oscar-winner Faye Dunaway (Network, Bonnie and Clyde, Chinatown), an unusually observant painter whom he decides to kidnap while seeking shelter at her apartment....and of course they develop a romance....sort of.  And hot on his heels is the wily assassin Joubert played by the late, great Max Von Sydow (The Seventh Seal, Flash Gordon, Pelle the Conqueror).  What results is a tense cat-and-mouse thriller which was somewhat ahead of its time and is now about to turn Fifty! Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

In this episode, we sit down with the incredibly talented Xolo Maridueña to dive into his latest adventure as Brainy Smurf in the new Smurfs movie — and why voicing this iconic character means so much to him.

Somewhere around the mid-1970s, Hollywood studios realized that the summer months were the perfect launching point for their most-expensive, highest-profile projects. With kids out of school, families needed something to do. The prestigious Oscar-bait timeframe was half a year away. And people welcomed an opportunity to get out of the sun and into a dark, air-conditioned room to watch grown men get eaten by dinosaurs whilst using the toilet, and countless cars exploding for no discernible reason. Billions of dollars have been made by summer blockbusters, and even a few awards have ben won by them. So for the first of our 2025 Summer Specials, we want to look back at those mega-grossing pictures and try to determine the best Summer Blockbuster Film of all time. Movies discussed: Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Ghostbusters, Grease, Shrek, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, The Dark Knight, The Lion King, Twister, Barbie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws, Independence Day, Iron Man, Back to the Future. Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Karissa Kloss, Kate Racculia, and Michael Schwarz as they discuss 16 of the most-loved, most-successful movies of all time. Play along at home by finding the listener bracket here. Make a copy for yourself, fill it out, and see if your picks match up with ours!

Hey everyone, James Scully here, producer and host of Breaking Walls, the docu-podcast on the history of US Network Radio Broadcasting. I wanted to let you know about a new webinar I'm doing this Thursday July 17th, at 7PM on Orson Welles' early career of Orson Welles through the end of 1941. If you can't make it live this Thursday July 17th at 7PM, don't worry, I'll be emailing every person who registers a video of the webinar once it's over. Here's a link to register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/orson-welles-career-part-1-from-boy-wonder-to-trouble-maker-webinar-tickets-1445315741289?aff=oddtdtcreator Some more information: Throughout the last one-hundred years of American entertainment, few people have gotten as strong a reaction as Orson Welles. A rare quadruple threat: writer, director, actor, producer, Welles found immense success on stage, in films, on television, and in radio. In fact, he took center stage in the United States on more than one occasion… and not always to a positive reaction, but always with pushing the creative envelope in mind. Welles managed to alienate the newspaper industry, the Hollywood studio system, and occasionally even the broadcasting networks, but he rarely had a door closed in his face. Welles was known to work himself to the bone, and party even harder. He had romances with some of the most famous and attractive women in the country, including Virginia Nicholson, Dolores del Rio, and Rita Hayworth. He was hailed as a genius, a charlatan, a magician, an incredible friend, an a***hole, a hard-driver, a steady worker, and a man who drank too much. Welles liked to joke that he began his career on top and spent the rest of his life working his way down. Such a strong-willed, creative person deserves an in-depth look. In Part 1: From Boy Wonder To Trouble Maker (1931-1941) we'll explore Welles' early life, through his explosion of success in the 1930s all the way to the end of 1941, complete with audio clips and highlights including: • Beginnings in Illinois and China — How they helped shape Orson • The Todd Seminary School — His first exposure to theater and Radio • Connections and Early Breaks — How his mentor Roger Hill, Thornton Wilder, Alexander Woollcott, and Katharine Cornell helped Orson get to Broadway • Orson meets John Houseman and Archibald MacLeish, and first appears on the March of Time • 1935-1937 — From the March of Time to the Columbia Workshop, and how Irvin Reis taught Orson how to create for radio • How the US Government shaped the opportunity for Orson to write, direct, and star in Les Misérables on the Mutual Broadcasting System in 1937 • The Shadow Knows! — Agnes Moorehead and Orson Welles' one season on The Shadow • The birth of the Mercury Theater on the Air as First Person singular. How its success led to the most infamous night in radio in October of 1938 • Mainstream success with Campbell's Soups • Orson goes to Hollywood, and signs the greatest autonomous film contract in history at 24 • Citizen Kane — How William Randolph Hearst and RKO shaped the film • Lady Esther Presents — Orson comes back to radio in the autumn of 1941 • Pearl Harbor Day and collaborating with Norman Corwin • How Joseph Cotton introduced Orson to Rita Hayworth Afterward, I'll do a Q&A — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged! Can't attend live? Not to worry! I'll be recording the event and sending the video out to all guests who register so you can watch it later. See you (virtually) there!

Great marketing doesn't start with a message; it starts with a mindset shift. If you want to make people feel something, you need more than a clever campaign. You need a story that invites them in and reflects something true.That's the magic of the “Assume That I Can” campaign, where simplicity meets significance, and storytelling sparks real cultural shift. In this episode, we unpack the power of that message with the help of our special guest, Mike Barton, VP of Corporate Communications and Content Marketing at AudioEye.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building accessible experiences, confronting audience assumptions, and crafting stories that create real connection.About our guest, Mike BartonMike is a marketing and communications leader dedicated to making the internet more accessible for all. As Vice President of Corporate Communication & Content Marketing at AudioEye, Mike leads marketing strategy, driving awareness and demand through blogs, social media, PR, video, and digital storytelling. Previously, at Adobe, he shaped content and executive messaging across Experience Cloud, Creative Cloud enterprise, and Document Cloud. With deep expertise in customer engagement and industry-specific storytelling, Mike excels at aligning business objectives with audience needs—crafting compelling narratives that resonate with C-suite leaders, end users, and decision-makers across industries.What B2B Companies Can Learn From “Assume That I Can” campaign:Start with the barrier, not the message. Before you talk about your product, talk about what's standing in the way. The best campaigns don't lead with features; they lead with mindset shifts. “If your audience already believed what you want them to believe, they'd be acting on it,” Mike explains. “What's the belief barrier that we need to identify and then either bring it down or address it?” Identify the roadblock first. Then your message has somewhere to go.Simplicity scales. Forget the fluff. The most effective campaigns are clear, precise, and emotionally resonant. Mike says, “The best ideas don't need paragraphs, they just need precision.” That's what made the “Assume That I Can” campaign so powerful: four words packed with meaning. Make your message easy to share and impossible to forget.Build stories people can see themselves in. If your marketing is talking at people, you've already lost them. Great content invites the audience into the story. Mike explains, “Connection and empathy really manifest when the person you're talking to sees themself in the story.” Whether it's about accessibility or enterprise software, lead with humanity. That's what makes people care.Quote*“ Data informs, but emotion transforms. And it's not that these are two mutually exclusive delivery mechanisms…it's really bringing data and emotion together. And as we saw in the “Assume That I Can” campaign, it was through the voice of somebody who had Down Syndrome. So we're constantly bringing in blind people or deaf people, or people who have mobility issues and letting them tell their story.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Mike Barton, VP, Corporate Communication & Content Marketing at AudioEye[01:13] Why the 'Assume That I Can' Campaign?[03:04] Mike's Role at Audio Eye[07:23] Breaking Down the 'Assume That I Can' Campaign[11:33] How to Make Your Content Accessible[15:13] B2B Marketing Takeaways from the Campaign[29:44] Addressing Belief Barriers in Marketing[31:58] Connecting Through Empathy and Storytelling[33:09] Marketing Strategy at Audio Eye[35:09] The Importance of Accessibility in Digital Experiences[36:02] Combining Data and Emotion for Impact[46:00] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Mike on LinkedInLearn more about AudioEyeAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

https://mikkoschoice.com/           In this heartwarming and hilarious episode, Autumn welcomes actress, writer, and director Lena Dunham to share her deeply personal and refreshingly honest journey into the world of pig parenting. From childhood dreams of being a pig farmer (without knowing what that truly meant) to life with her two beloved pigs, Victor and Cherry, Lena brings humor, insight, and an immense love for pigs to the mic.           Lena recounts the magical — and messy — experience of bringing Victor home for the first time, learning how different pigs are from dogs, and the eye-opening lessons about boundaries, bonding, and behavior that raising pigs has taught her (including some that surprisingly apply to human relationships). She also shares how discovering The Pet Pig Podcast helped her navigate those early days of confusion and joy, and how Cherry, who came from Autumn's program, became the perfect companion for Victor.           Together, Autumn and Lena explore what it really takes to be a good pig parent, from respecting pigs as pigs — not dogs or babies — to understanding their intelligence, emotional complexity, and social needs. Whether you're already living with pigs or dreaming of the day, Lena's story is a charming, honest, and educational ride from the red carpet to the pig pen.           Lena reminds us that pigs have a way of changing our lives — not by fitting into our world, but by inviting us into theirs. This episode is a celebration of that transformation, of embracing imperfection, and of learning to meet our animals where they are. It's a must-listen for anyone who's ever loved a pig — or been surprised by how much a pig could teach them about life, love, and letting go.

This week we meet the Hollywood makeup artist Farah Bunch whose work has earned her multiple nominations in Daytime and Primetime TV  Awards and Hollywood Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Guild Awards. Her work over several seasons on the hugely successful TV Comedy Will & Grace proved a pivotal moment in her career. Other notable credits include Dancing with the Stars, The Oscars, Sunset Beach, Entourage, Fuller House, and Makeup Department Head on Frazier on Paramount +.  Farah was born in 1975 in Toluca Lake, California where she and her brother Justin were raised in the long shadow of the Hollywood sign.  Her parents; the producer and six-time Emmy nominated film and television composer Velton Ray Bunch, and three-time Emmy nominated makeup artist Patricia (Patty) Bunch who were once the Disco Band known as Strut, introduced Farah to a life on set from an early age. She was five years old when she made her set debut. She also has a couple of acting credits to her name. But it was always going to be makeup that would be the foundation of her career from the moment at 18 when she graduated from the Joe Blasco Makeup School. Her mother's status in the industry and guidance on set steered her into multi-camera shoots, which is the world she loves most of all, despite having early ambitions to be a pop-singer with encouragement from her father. She remains inspired by her music and is currently writing a musical with her father. Farah recently obtained a license from the International College of Beauty in Esthetician and Cosmetology. She lives in Toluca Lake, California with her two cats. Farah's links: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1095568/https://www.instagram.com/farahbunch/@farahbunch Some of Farah's female artists:Jo BakerKathryn Bigelow Host: Chris StaffordProduced by Hollowell StudiosFollow @theaartpodcast on InstagramThe AART Podcast on YouTubeEmail: theaartpodcast@gmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wisp--4769409/support.
