Allie Beth Stuckey has never been afraid to speak truth in a world that often rewards silence. In this conversation, we talked about faith, conviction, and what it means to stand firm when culture pushes you to conform. Allie opened up about her journey into broadcasting, how motherhood reshaped her worldview, and why she believes women today are desperate for truth, not validation. We also talked about the cost of conviction, how to disagree without dehumanizing, and why faith must come before fear, especially in media and leadership. We discussed the state of Christianity in America, the pressure many young people face to compromise, and how social media has changed the way we share and live out our beliefs. Allie's perspective is strong but full of grace, rooted in both intellect and compassion. This conversation was about more than faith or influence.

Tonight's guest, Scott Hunt, had his first Bigfoot sighting in Americus, Georgia in July of 2022. When his sighting happened, he was mapping land that a paper mill owned, for a project that the company he worked for was about to begin. The land he was on was blanketed with pine trees. When Scott arrived at the property that day, Sasquatch was the last thing on his mind. He never would have thought Sasquatch could be in the area. He thought the only place they could have been was out west, in places like Washington or Oregon. That was about to change. What happened to Scott that day isn't the only Sasquatch experience he's had. He lives at a property now that overlooks Standing Stone State Park, in Tennessee. Standing Stone is a known hotspot for Sasquatch. Scott's experiences are a testament to that. We hope you'll tune in to tonight's show, so you can hear him share his experiences.If you'd like to listen to Scott's song, “Tennessee Cryptid: Bigfoot and Beyond,” please visit…https://youtu.be/f2UudV09OU4?si=Owy3CHstEYUpIuVVIf you've had any Sasquatch-related experiences in Tennessee or Southern Kentucky that you'd like to share with Scott, please contact him at SEHunt1@Yahoo.comIf you've had a Bigfoot sighting and would like to be a guest, on the show, please go to https://MyBigfootSighting.com and let us know.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to the latest news, rumors, and reports in the NFL as they go In The Huddle.
Our heroes arrive home to unwelcome news. Verrol reaps the consequences of his failure. Zara's nightmare becomes a dream. Kardain seeks wise counsel.
Jim Iuorio says we “have some work to do” to the downside and calls the market “still pretty tired.” He feels vindicated by the latest jobs report and its revisions lower and says “something is wrong with the way they compile data” because of the significant drops. He wishes the Fed had the updated info before its latest meeting in the hopes of a rate cut. “The last thing [the Fed wants] to do is appear panicked,” he argues, so he expects them to wait for the September meeting rather than making an emergency cut.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Ep. 333: Kiyoshi Kurosawa on his new film Cloud, life, lighting, casting, and the last thing he saw Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. Cloud is the new film by director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, whose unique career includes the films Cure, Pulse, and Tokyo Sonata. Cloud follows an internet reseller (Masaki Suda) who becomes targeted for murder by a band of customers he has played a little too fast and loose with. It's suffused with the air of menace that the director excels at creating, but situated in an actual cutthroat world of extremely online internet resellers. Kurosawa has said it's partly inspired by a true story of an internet-inspired killing, and partly by his desire to shoot an action movie, particularly with characters who are (relatively) ordinary people. As a longtime fan of his work, I felt especially fortunate to speak with director Kiyoshi Kurosawa about Cloud and his work generally. Thank you to Monika Uchiyama for translation. Cloud is in theaters now and had its world premiere in the Venice film festival last fall. It was the centerpiece film at the Japan Society's annual festival Japan Cuts, where director Kiyoshi Kurosawa was honored with the Cut Above Award for his outstanding achievements in cinema.

He appears in the dark — a shadowy figure with a wide-brimmed hat — and countless people across the world share the same chilling encounter: the Hat Man is watching.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: Is there really such a thing as coincidence? One girl used to think so – but a strange paranormal experience has her now thinking there's no such thing as happenstance. (More Than a Coincidence) *** Is it possible that the real reason for the USA-Iraq war had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction, and everything to do with the appropriation of other-worldly alien technology? (Saddam Hussein's Stargate) *** Weirdo family member Heather Circle brings us a terrifying story that starts, innocently enough, with her child's missing plastic drinking cup. (A Little Pink Sippy Cup) *** Rebecca Schaeffer was destined to be a star. But before she had the chance to make it in Hollywood, she was murdered by an obsessed fan. (Hollywood's Sweetheart Killed By a Stalker) *** With the internet's recent obsession with Black Eyed Kids encounters and “Shadow People” visitations, you might not notice another phenomena that's quickly becoming part of the paranormal pop-culture consciousness: The Hat Man. Reports of the strange “Hat Man”, a mysterious entity dressed in a long-brimmed hat, continue to pour in from all over the world. Who is the Hat Man? What does he want? Why have so many people around the world been visited by this strange entity? (The Hat Man And Shadow People) *** If you've ever seen the film “The Wicker Man”, you are familiar with the ending of the burning giant made of wood and the human sacrifice therein. But is it possible that this terrifying idea was not an invention of novelists and screenwriters – but was a very real practice at one time? Or even today? (The History Behind The Wicker Man) *** The life that serial killer Dennis Rader lived on the outside, hid his dark secret inside, which he was so desperate to reveal that he began dropping breadcrumbs to the media. (The Paper Trail of BTK) *** A graveyard is typically a quiet place, but Graceland Cemetery in Chicago seems to be a bit too quiet – which might have something to do with its resident ghosts. (The Deathly Silence of Graceland Cemetery) *** In 1888, London was terror-struck by the grotesque murders of Jack the Ripper, who was shortly about to claim his next-victim: 47-year-old prostitute Annie Chapman. Her dissection at the hands of the madman was nothing short of gruesome. (The Dissection of Annie Chapman) *** Annie Chapman likely got a good look at her killer. At the time, scientists thought they could user her corpse's eyeballs to identify the attacker. Is something like that possible? Could the last visual image of someone's life remain burned into the eye even after death?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are identified as the leading cause of preventable death globally. These foods are chemically altered, stripped of their natural structures, and filled with additives, sugars, unhealthy fats, and preservatives, resulting in products that offer little to no nutritional benefit while contributing significantly to chronic disease. In this episode, I talk with Vani Hari and Dr. Shebani Sethi about why ultra-processed foods are not just a health risk—they are a public health crisis. Vani Hari is the food activist behind FoodBabe.com, a NY Times best-selling author of 4 books, founder of the organic products brand Truvani, and was named one of the “Most Influential People on the Internet” by Time magazine. Hari's viral testimony before the US Senate sparked a massive movement to stop American food companies from poisoning their own citizens with ingredients they don't use in other countries. Hari founded Food Babe to spread information about what is really in the American food supply. She teaches people how to make the right purchasing decisions at the grocery store, how to live an organic lifestyle, and how to travel healthfully around the world. Vani has gathered hundreds of thousands of petitions to change the food system and influenced how major food giants like Kraft, Subway, Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks create their products, steering them towards more healthful policies. Dr. Shebani Sethi is a double board-certified physician in Obesity Medicine and Psychiatry. She is the Founding Director of Stanford University's Metabolic Psychiatry program and Silicon Valley Metabolic Psychiatry, a new center in the San Francisco Bay Area focused on optimizing brain health by integrating low carb nutrition, comprehensive psychiatric care, and treatment of obesity with associated metabolic disease.
