Es ist der erste derartige Fall in Österreich. Ein gesunder 22-jähriger Mann erleidet plötzlich einen Herzstillstand. Die naheliegendste Erklärung: Er hatte Kratom konsumiert. Wie gefährlich ist das relativ unbekannte Kraut, das in den USA bereits verbreitet ist. Erklärungen heute von unserer Gesundheitsredakteurin Pia Kruckenhauser.
Two Ole Miss students, Aidan Hamilton, 18, and Robert Strang, 20, were found dead on the same day. New police documents link both to “Smax” Pseudo-DHM, a “high-potency MGM-15 product” chewable sold as kratom by a smoke shop. Before being raided, the shop's staff reportedly told undercover cops not to take the pills because “people were dying.” The American Kratom Association, a kratom advocacy group, says the product's compounds “do not occur naturally in the kratom plant. They are synthetic derivatives or chemically manipulated forms of 7-OH.” When the news first broke of the college student deaths, Dr. Drew suspected the investigation would find multiple drugs were involved. This was later confirmed by reports revealing that Stang “took a Xanax bar the afternoon before he was found dead…. Investigators found 20 to 30 nitrous oxide cans and his roommates said Strang “would use whippets daily”.” World-renowned brain health expert and psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen joins Dr. Drew to break down what synthetic opioids do to the brain, the alarming availability of Smax-like products in gas stations, and the fatal “Celebrity Killer Cocktail” of mixing benzodiazepines (like Xanax) with alcohol, opioids, or other drugs. High-stakes poker champion Garrett Adelstein discusses his memoir “Beneath the Cards” detailing his personal battle with gambling addiction, clinical depression, and his side of the “Jack-Four” cheating controversy. Garrett Adelstein is one of the world's most respected and feared poker players. For nearly 25 years, he's dominated the tables and won millions of dollars along the way. After becoming embroiled in the “Jack-Four” cheating controversy, he stepped away from the spotlight to write Beneath the Cards, a memoir of his successes and setbacks, available at https://amzn.to/4e6w8Of.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the White House's economic messaging blitz ahead of the midterms, from red diesel tax breaks to a new Iowa steel plant, and why GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the war with Iran is drowning out all of it. Bryan covers the deaths of two Mississippi college students linked to the unregulated drug kratom sold by Yemeni migrants near Ole Miss, and President Xi's offer to bring 100,000 American students to China, a proposal Bryan argues is a national security gift horse. Plus, Bryan covers a Pennsylvania township being offered $10,000 checks per household to approve a new data center, an OpenAI backed startup designing antibody cures for pathogens it fears future AI could create, and a promising new AI tool that predicts where brain cancer is most likely to return after surgery.

**The Clay Edwards Show – Capitol Police Verdict, Sarah Huckabee's SNAP Ad, Kratom Fallout, and Mr. Belding** Hour 1 with Creston Berch and Zach Servis. Hour 2 with Scott Gilbert and Shaun Yurtkuran. Dennis Haskins — Mr. Belding — died at 75. That one landed different than it would have twenty years ago. Midlife talk, Motley Crüe tour shirts, Guns N' Roses opening, grandmother still hanging on at 94, and why 75 doesn't sound old once you've already blown past the halfway mark. Then the unforced error: Sarah Huckabee Sanders ran a reelection ad making a white dude named Brad on a beanbag with a VR headset the face of Arkansas welfare fraud. Young white men are among the *least* likely groups on SNAP. Per capita numbers tell a different story. They picked the one face guaranteed to piss off their own base instead of just putting the policy on screen. Friendly fire. Consultants who don't talk to actual people. Kratom is next. Two Ole Miss students dead after S-Max / pseudo-7OH tablets — concentrated, lab-tweaked alkaloids, not leaf powder. Clay's been on the “don't ban it, regulate it” side for years. He's sitting this one out. If gas-station product is killing kids, conscience matters more than the fight. Doctors and lawmakers are already lining up the next ban. Listen to why the “natural doesn't mean safe” line is the one that actually matters. Hour 2: Scott Gilbert (Michael Reinwald's attorney) and Shaun Yurtkuran break down yesterday's Capitol Police trial in the Jalen Lewis shooting. Steven Frederick — not guilty. Reinwald — hung jury. Lynn Fitch immediately declined to retry. The state's theory was imperfect self-defense manslaughter plus “acting in concert.” A car coming at you is a weapon. Unmarked vehicles don't make officers the aggressors. The jury was never instructed to view it through the eyes of a trained cop. That's the charge that never should have been brought. Chilling effect is real. Departments already can't hire. Good cops watch this and ask if the job is still worth it. Discretion exists so prosecutors *don't* file the weak ones. This was one of the weak ones. Zach Servis closes it as a Jackson resident living on the edge of the CCID: response times, a gunshot next to his wife, and the same AG office that went after these two officers while $77 million in SNAP fraud sat there. No sugar. No “positive solutions” lecture. Just what happened and why it matters. Guests: Creston Berch, Zach Servis, Scott Gilbert, Shaun Yurtkuran.

Jordan and Nate open with a genuinely stunning admission from RFK Jr: HHS is formally investigating chemtrails and electromagnetic frequency exposure, complete with a federal request for public input. They debate whether AI can actually "cure" disease or just deliver smarter treatments, cheer a new FDA rule cutting mandatory animal testing, and cover fresh executive orders opening federal land to hunters and reviving old school incandescent light bulbs. A story about Massachusetts mandating government home visits for new parents sparks a genuinely uneasy conversation about where that could lead. From there it is straight into fraud territory, with J.D. Vance's Obamacare crackdown and Dr. Oz's clash with activist groups, followed by a nuanced look at new GLP1 vision loss lawsuits and a media fueled Kratom panic the guys pick apart in real time. They close with a candid, occasionally skeptical breakdown of a MAHA coalition's open letter demanding an mRNA vaccine ban.

During the second hour of The Charlie James Show on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, host Charlie James addresses a series of pressing local and national issues, beginning with a safety warning regarding the unregulated herbal supplement kratom following the deaths of two University of Mississippi students. Callers weigh in on the availability of kratom at local gas stations and vape shops, discussing its legality and potential health risks when combined with other substances. The discussion then shifts toward religious and political commentary, as Charlie criticizes progressive Christian churches and political candidate James Talarico, arguing that certain progressive theological views compromise core Christian doctrines. Finally, the segment highlights international news, focusing on a strategic military and economic agreement signed between the United States, Denmark, and Greenland, which secures long-term American military presence and limits rival foreign influence in the Arctic region.
Host Charlie James opens the first hour discussing the Iranian President's speech at the United Nations, highlighting the walkout by the U.S. delegation and protesting crowds outside. James and caller John critique Iran's domestic actions and state-sponsored terrorism while examining former President Donald Trump's "Operation Economic Outcast" policy aimed at financially isolating the regime. The discussion shifts to future political prospects for the 2028 election, poking fun at potential Democratic candidates including Vice President Kamala Harris, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pete Buttigieg. Hour 2 In the second hour, the show turns its focus to a health warning from university campuses regarding Kratom (kratom) and synthetic opioids following student deaths in Mississippi. Callers weigh in on gas station supplements, unregulated substances, and safety concerns. James also explores church-state relations and theological shifts in modern churches, reacting to controversial statements by progressive pastors regarding traditional Christian doctrines. Hour 3 The third hour centers heavily on foreign strategy and local South Carolina politics. James analyzes the strategic military importance of Donald Trump's expanded access deal regarding Greenland and Denmark. The conversation then moves to the South Carolina Senate race, debating the electoral consequences of conservative write-in campaigns for Ralph Norman versus supporting the Republican candidate Darlene Graham against Democrat Dr. Annie Andrews. Hour 4 The final hour tackles global healthcare systems, contrasting American medical care with Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program, drawing sharp criticism from callers and the host. The segment also highlights commentary on national defense responsibilities, congressional races, media coverage, and progressive policy proposals, concluding with an urgent call for voter turnout in upcoming elections.

Kratom is often marketed as a natural or herbal product, but Pennsylvania doctors and toxicology experts say consumers should understand that it can have powerful effects on the brain—and can lead to addiction, serious health problems and even death. On The Spark, Dr. Robb Bassett, associate medical director of the Poison Control Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and Dr. Sara Kawasaki, division director of Addiction Services at Penn State College of Medicine, discussed the growing concerns surrounding kratom and products containing its compounds.For people with disabilities, families with young children, older hikers or anyone looking for a more manageable outdoor adventure, figuring out whether a trail is truly accessible can be difficult. A new guidebook is working to make that process easier. On The Spark, Brooke Lenker and John Naylor, co-authors of the South Central Pennsylvania Accessible Adventure Guidebook, joined Kate Prisby, manager of events and programs with the Keystone Trails Association, to discuss the project and the growing effort to make outdoor recreation more welcoming to people of all abilities.
These are five stories from how kratom withdrawal took over their lives...
This episode covers major developments at the Grand Sky tech hub in Grand Forks, North Dakota, where national defense officials are collaborating on drone technology.

A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan — Episode Notes Episode: "Feathers and Bubbles" Hosts: Tom and Dan | Guest: Seth Petruzelli Sponsors / Ad Reads JustCallMoe.com — recording studio sponsor read at the top of the show; also plugged later as the presenting sponsor of the upcoming Tom and Dan Cruise.

Segment Rundown Cold open, grooming talk — Tom and Dan welcome Seth Petruzelli to the couch and razz him about his beard and blow-dried hair; a tangent on straighteners vs. blow-dryers leads into a bit about their wives' expensive Dyson hair tools. Recent celebrity deaths — The hosts run through a rough week of deaths, including Tim Curry, Dolly (referenced briefly), and the voice actor of Optimus Prime, riffing darkly on average lifespan. Seth's chronic chaos — Running bit that Seth is perpetually running late or juggling a crisis; today it's his dog and a vet appointment, plus it's revealed to be Seth's birthday. Seth's dog and Disney cruise — Seth brought his dog Rocky (a different Rocky than Tom's) on set; talk turns to Seth boarding him for four nights while Seth takes his first vacation in two and a half years, a Disney cruise with his wife and daughter Vera. Tom's dog Rocky and pet talk — Tom shows off his own dog Rocky on stream, admits he's been neglecting him since focusing on his young daughter, and the group jokes about pushing Tom's son Tommy toward wanting a dog or cat despite Tracy's reluctance. Karate class standards slipping — A tangent from the dojo talk about how kids today can't finish basic requirements (like a brown belt or three months of consistent training), tying into a broader "everything is getting weaker/no consequences" complaint, including schools making gym-class changing rooms optional now. Locker room embarrassment nostalgia — The hosts and Seth swap stories about being self-conscious getting undressed in front of others as kids and in a pro arena-football locker room as an adult. Seth's MRI/health update — Seth shares that he got a full-body MRI, compared it to one from two years prior, and got mostly good results except his prostate being "large side of normal." Seth's dojo being demolished — Seth explains his dojo's building is being torn down and he must vacate by November; he's negotiating a new space, planning to use students to help move (in exchange for food/drinks), and reflects on a black belt who's been especially helpful. Should Seth do a GoFundMe? — Debate over whether it's in good taste for a business to crowdfund when forced out by demolition, referencing a nearby business owner doing the same; jokes about a bikini car wash and a "GoFundMe vs. crowdfund" distinction (charity vs. general fundraising). The actual dojo car wash fundraiser — Dan recounts attending a real car-wash fundraiser for the dojo, paying more than requested because the kids did a thorough job. Daughter's Taco Bell complaint — Dan tells a story about his daughter filing an online complaint after Taco Bell repeatedly forgot part of her order. Joke about Seth's finances — Riffing on the idea that no one will donate to a GoFundMe for someone with a lakeside mansion, a boat, and a nice car, including a bit about trading in a BMW for a Hyundai. Dojo move logistics and mock fundraiser pitch — More detail on moving costs (a mirror company hired just to transport dojo mirrors, a dumpster for old equipment); the group jokingly pitches an absurd "buy a black belt" crowdfunding tier system, with Seth explaining the real distinction between an official ranked black belt and a "junior/in-house" one. AI in podcast production — The show discusses no longer paying a human for intro songs/jingles, now using AI for notes and occasionally songs (though they still do some manual ones too), and debate the line between AI convenience and "authenticity" compared to corporate radio. Prostitution sting debate — Sparked by 49ers owner Jed York's prostitution-sting arrest and a local Altamonte Springs sting ("Operation Midnight Heat," 37 arrests), the hosts argue undercover prostitution stings are a poor use of police resources compared to focusing on predators of minors, and make the case for regulating/legalizing sex work. Caller: Concrete Mike, prostitution talk — Concrete Mike calls in about hiring escorts for parties in the past; the call is plagued by a bad phone connection and cuts out repeatedly before the hosts move on. GTA 6 leak coverage — Detailed rundown of hacker "Cyber Leak's" leaked GTA 6 footage (starting August 18), new gameplay features (six-star wanted system, stamina and car-gas meters, a karma system, Red Dead-style bullet-time aiming), a leaked nudist-area clip, and a somber aside about how hyper-realistic "living a second life in a game" can feel. GTA franchise money talk — The hosts look up that the GTA franchise has made $11 billion total, with GTA 5 alone earning $815 million in its first 24 hours; confirmed November 19, 2026 release date for GTA 6. Caller: "J Volvo" — A young-sounding caller who turns out to be a 40-year-old Marine and brown belt calls in as a bit, pitching a "Fit Tom Fridays" 5K fundraiser idea for Seth's dojo; the hosts jokingly induct him as a rookie "cop" character and enjoy the surprise live call. New "Stage" Rock Band reboot — Discussion of an upcoming Rock Band-style rhythm game launching in December, with nostalgia about old Rock Band parties, and a broader riff on short attention spans/endless content (dating apps, streaming, mobile games) making it hard for any single game to hold interest. Six Flags roller coaster aneurysm story (teaser + full segment) — After a break, the hosts cover two women who suffered brain aneurysms riding Six Flags' X2 roller coaster, show POV footage of the ride's uniquely independently-spinning carts, and speculate (semi-jokingly) about the physics/anatomy behind why it happened. Flatulence and bathroom health talk — A crude tangent connecting back to Seth's MRI story, where he and the others discuss holding in gas, bowel habits, and general bathroom TMI. Voicemail: grandma question (Amedeus, Fort Myers) — A caller references a past on-air comment and asks which grandmother the hosts would rather "embarrass" in front of; leads to a riff on generational/cultural stereotypes about tougher vs. softer grandmothers. Voicemail: convenience store "big black mama" story (Debary Joe) — A caller shares a heartfelt/funny anecdote about a stranger's kindness at a gas station after a rough day, prompting brief pushback from a host about the framing of the story. Mad honey discussion — Seth explains he bought "mad honey" (a hallucinogenic honey from Nepal) and plans to have his wife try it first; the hosts detail its origins, effects, dangerous dosing risks, its history as an ancient biological weapon, and its recent viral popularity via a Joe Rogan clip. Nepal flooding aside — A brief, more serious detour about real disaster footage of catastrophic flooding in Nepal that circulated online. Psychedelics and mental health tangent — Talk shifts to Kratom, mushrooms, microdosing, and studies on psilocybin therapy for PTSD/anxiety; Seth admits he's more afraid of a mushroom trip than he ever was fighting professionally (referencing his MMA background against opponents like Kimbo Slice and Bob Sapp). Voicemail: adult content from caller "Mike" — A caller shares an explicit story from his younger years about hiring escorts for group parties at his house; the hosts summarize and react without repeating graphic detail. Voicemail: workplace exorcism question (BDM, Jacksonville) — A caller asks if anyone has heard of a business getting an exorcism, sparking a broader discussion about corporate superstition (feng shui, sage smudging, "energy"), with the hosts drawing a line between supernatural belief and legitimate ideas like attitude/mindset affecting outcomes. Voicemail: "Pure Pod" gadget — A caller points out that a produce-washing gadget advertised online is basically a vibrator; the hosts confirm the device is a real product marketed to skirt platform rules around selling sexual wellness items. Voicemail: old photo in ski resort system — A caller shares that a modern ski resort pulled up his decades-old childhood lift-ticket photo from a previous owner's records, leading to a discussion about how far back companies' digital recordkeeping goes and some personal skiing stories from the hosts. Dojo move update and wrap-up — Seth gives a final update: staying within a 3-mile radius under the new name "Soto Dojo," reviewing a lease, and dealing with a landlord dispute over alleged unpaid utility charges/liens the show insists were never billed properly. Studio/podcast future plugs and cruise pitch — The hosts float building a future glass-walled studio, mention recent released interviews (Patrick Warburton, Lorenzo Lamas), and give a detailed pitch for the upcoming Tom and Dan Cruise, including perks, cost, and booking details, before signing off.

They also discuss kratom and 7-OH addiction, medication-assisted treatment, cannabis in recovery, mental health care and the danger of treating relapse as a moral failure.
