It's an understatement calling it adventure tourism, at minimum its extreme travel, more accurately it's insanely dangerous. Diving to crushing depths to glimpse the Titanic, sightseeing hostile dictatorships, postcard-shopping in active war zones – increasingly, people are choosing to go to these places…for vacation. Really, no really! What could possibly possess a person to willingly put their lives in danger for a few photographs and an unusual stamp on their passport? You might expect these reckless tourists to be former Special Forces or folks with cultural ties so deep that it neutralizes the danger. Well…maybe those people exist but today Jason and Peter are talking to Mike Reiss, a middle-aged, Emmy-winning, Simpsons writer-producer whose wife compelled him to visit 136 countries, including Iran, Syria, and even North Korea! Mike Reiss has won four Emmys and a Peabody Award during his twenty-eight years writing for The Simpsons. He ran the show in Season 4, which Entertainment Weekly called “the greatest season of the greatest show in history. And Mike claims to be happily married for over thirty years. We believe him…? ON THIS EPISODE: Why more and more people are doing these extreme activities… How Mike went from homebody to extreme world traveler. True tales from Iran, Iraq, Syria & Afganistan. Almost forced to make movies for Kim Jung Il in North Korea. Diving in the doomed Ocean Gate experimental submarine 4 times! That time he almost died on a Namibian sand dune on New Year's Eve. Jason's main travel fear - toilet uncertainty! Mike shares his top travel tips from his years as an extreme tourist. The one vacation so bad Mike had to cut it short – you'll never guess the country. He's willing to go to Mars, but THIS place he refused to go. Googleheim: The most dangerous places…in your home.

Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about a listener that heard something strange during a self-pleasure session, ranking the funniest Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, an elderly man that accidentally fell into a volcano, a surgeon that botched a Yakuza Crime Boss penile enlargement, what is the weirdest way you've injured yourself, parents arrested for leaving their 11-year-old home alone for Christmas, a woman that claims she was “catfished” for over a decade, N. Korea is claiming Kim Jung Il invented burritos in 2011, a former Miss Bum Bum arrested for drug trafficking, a tall airline passenger that got bumped to first class cause he couldn't fit in coach, and more!
On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we look at the man who most historians call the worst tyrant of all time, Mao Tse-tung. Was he worse than Hitler? Yes. Was he worse than Stalin or Kim Jung Il or Saddam Hussein? Way worse. How? Well, his horrible Great Leap Forward killed upwards of 60 million Chinese due to starvation, overwork, disease, or flat out murder. He forced parents to bury their own children and purged entire classes of people, all to make China a world power. He was born the son of a farmer and excelled in school, but he was forced to quit and work on the farm. When he was old enough, he left and went to school in another town where he was exposed to new communist teachings. He rose through the ranks of the Chinese Communist Party due to his diligence. Eventually, the leader of China died, and the new chairman, Chiang Kai-shek, was against Mao’s party. There was a brutal war where Mao led a guerilla squad of 200,000 men against him, but it was squashed and led to something called The Long Walk. Eventually, thanks to an allegiance during World War II, Mao rose to real power, eventually becoming the top man in the China. Once in power, he started the Great Leap Forward, which lead to the worse man made famine in the history of the earth and destroyed China’s economy. This made him unpopular, but he led the Cultural Revolution, which basically turned him into a god king. Oh, and as god king, he got really freaky with sex. Really freaky. Underage girls, modified beds, banging his own guards, venereal diseases, you name it. What was the deal with his 14 year old mistress? How did Stalin scientifically evaluate Mao’s poop, and what did it do politically? How did he get Soviet premiere Khrushchev to wear children’s water wings and have a meeting in a pool? What was the result of only brushing his teeth by swishing tea around in his mouth? Listen, laugh, learn.

We have uncovered the lost tapes of a long lost brotherhood between Screaming Chuy, host of the fantastic Screaming Chuy Show, and Drewbert when they were younglings. In this tape you will hear the thunderdome friends discover a computer for the first time and use it to hone in on Kim Jong Un's location, which doesn't make any sense since it would have been Kim Jung Il in charge of North Korea. But nevertheless, tune in to the Screaming Chuy Show as it has quickly become a favorite of the DWO! The Professor is on record as saying, "The Screaming Chuy Show is like Billy Mays and Chuck Norris had a baby that turned into a podcast and then was drizzled with chocolate fondue from Ted Koppel's brunch table and then sprinkled with strawberry peanut shavings from........somewhere or something, shit I don't know. But I know it's fucking good and you should tune in...or I will unleash a firey, uh, nevermind. The Screaming Chuy Show is where it's at so have a listen."

https://youtu.be/g4bfiM-fLoY I am the Bread of Life John 6:22-59 25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.” 28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” 30 So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'” 32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. what unique words! No one has ever spoken to you about themselves saying, “I am the bread of life” People tend to think of themselves more highly than they ought to. In fact, every person, even those poor unfortunate souls who's existence is summed up by guilt and shame, think of themselves as better than they are in reality. Some people throughout history have gone so far in their arrogance, as to declare themselves kings, emperors, and even demi-gods, sent to mankind as some sort of gift from heaven. They claim some sort of divine liniage. and they lead people astray from the living God. They gather for themselves great influence and speak of themselves in the grandest language. Kim Jung Il once boasted of nailing 11 hole-in-ones … in a single round of golf. Kanye West claimed to be a god. and many sect leaders have claimed to be the Christ and led their followers to their death. But even among those delusional crazies out there, which of them has ever said something like, “I am the bread of life?” which of them has claimed that without them, no one would go on living, or in fact that no one could ever live without them? I am the bread of life! I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. (51) But what does bread of life mean? How about bread from heaven? … what does that mean? and if Jesus is this bread, then what in the world does it mean to eat this bread? Jesus said “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” (35) But many of you have come to Him, and if you haven't already had dinner, you're sitting there hungry right now and you're going to go home tonight and make yourself a snack before bed. So what's that mean exactly? whoever comes to me shall not hunger. what sort of truth is found in the statement, “I am the bread of life”? First of all, you should remember the context of these profound words. Just the day before, Jesus had taken the five loaves and two fish, and giving thanks, broke them and handed them out to his disciples who dispersed them to 5000 men and each of them ate as much as he wanted until they were all full. So that was yesterday. not exactly your typical tuesday right? Yeah, well, your Jesus is anything but typical! What he did was truly amazing. They saw it with thier own eyes and held the bread in their own hands and ate it and were filled and nonetheless, none of them could understand how it happened. or what it all meant. No one could explain it. And so of course, they're looking for Jesus

On this week's mini-episode, Katy interviews Matt Harding—you know, that crazy American guy who danced with people all over the world and taped himself doing it?

In this mid-week mini-interview, Matt explains how he came to discover that everyone in the world is, essentially, the same, and how dancing is one of the most universal and unifying human impulses. He also describes how he managed to record himself dancing with locals in North Korea at Kim Jung Il's very last birthday celebration in 2011.

Ambassador Wendy Sherman was the lead negotiator on the Iran Nuclear Agreement, and she writes about it in her new book titled Not for the Faint of Heart: Lessons in Courage, Power, and Persistence. Today she recalls working with Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to halt North Korea’s nuclear ambitions in the 90’s, and how they came close to an agreement only to see their efforts derailed by the chaos of the 2000 election. She explains why negotiating with North Korea is always "one part diplomacy and one part absurdity," she recalls her personal interactions with Kim Jung Il, and weighs in on how his successor Kim Jung Un measures up. Ambassador Sherman talks about the many months of diplomacy (both covert and overt) that went into the nuclear agreement with Iran, how much was lost when President Trump decertified the deal, and what her colleagues from across the negotiating table are saying about it. She explains why the negotiation was a lot like solving a Rubik’s Cube, just how heated things got in the behind closed doors, and why sometimes tactics are no substitute for pure raw human emotion. Order Ambassador Wendy Sherman's book Not for the Faint of Heart: Lessons in Courage, Power, and Persistence is available on Amazon, Audible, or wherever books are sold.

Kim Jung-Il elsket film. All slags film. Og han syntes nordkoreanske filmer var såpass elendige at han gikk til et drastisk skritt i 1978 for å få forbedret dem. Han fikk kidnappet Sør-Koreas svar på Elizabeth Taylor - Choi Eun-Hee og Shin Sang Ok - Sør-Koreas Stephen Spielberg - til Nord-Korea. Resultatet ble ikke helt som han hadde tenkt seg. Programleder: Line Alsaker
Dersom filmene som blir laget i landet du bor i er så dårlige at folk vrir seg i kinosetene - hva gjør du da? Tidligere diktator i Nord-Korea, Kim Jung-Il visste råd. Mot slutten av 70-tallet fikk han kidnappet Sør-Koreas svar på Elizabeth Taylor og Steven Spielberg, og satte dem i arbeid både for å få fart på filmindustrien i Nord-Korea, og for å få bedre kvalitet på propagandafilmene. Med Philip Lote. Programleder: Line Alsaker
Reder vil drepe pirater - Apple og Golden - Japan slutter med hval - Giraff som målestokk - Kim Jung Il ser på ting
I november 2010 vart den avkjøla konflikten mellom Nord og Sør Korea igjen sett i fyr og flamme då Nord, under leiing av Kim Jung Il, valde å bombe den Sør Koreanske øya Yeongpyeong. Trass mange konfliktar og tidvis aggresjon gjennom åra er det denne handlinga som har skapte den så langt største trugselen til den 58 år gamle våpenkvila mellom statane. Halvøya har skarpe skilje mellom anna ideologisk, økonomisk og kulturelt, så vel som geografisk. Denne fleirdimensjonelle delinga både skremmer og fasinerer, og vi i Mir har derfor denne veka vald å utforske og samanlikne Nord og Sør.
