Missouri's Senate President has used a football analogy to indicate a deal has finally been reached between Columbia-based MU Health Care and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. MU Health Care's 1,200 providers and seven hospitals have been out of Anthem's commercial network since April 1, when the two sides failed to reach an agreement to renew the contracts. Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina) made a Facebook post on Friday, saying “touchdown” and saying we'll learn details this week. "Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn discussed the issue this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri," telling listeners that he believes MU Health Care will accept Anthem's offer this week. Mr. Faughn credits Anthem, UM System President Dr. Mun Choi and Pro Tem O'Laughlin for breaking the logjam. Mr. Faughn is in southern Missouri's Vernon County this morning. He also discussed Nevada, Missouri and former Missouri Lt. Governor Bill "Full-time" Phelps during the live interview with hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell:

Send us a textWelcome back for the conclusion of my interview with Professor, bestselling Author, and Retired ATF Special Agent Jay Dobyns. If you're enjoying this episode, you'll love my interview with ATF Special Agent Ken Croke from episode 120, where he chats about his deep undercover mission taking down the outlaw motorcycle gang, The Pagans. I thought it would be interesting to get a different perspective on these clubs by interviewing the former president of the Ventura Hells Angels, George Christie. That interview will go live next Sunday!Jay Dobyns spent over two decades as a federal agent embedded in the dark heart of America's violent crime, participating in more than five hundred undercover missions targeting gun runners, narcotics traffickers, explosives manufacturers, murder-for-hire schemes, and vicious gangs.Jay's most infamous case—a landmark infiltration of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang—changed the face of undercover work forever, earning him international recognition.Jay's story is more than headlines and danger. It's about the cost of service to others, the toll on identity, family, and mental health, and how to rise from it stronger.  In today's episode we discuss:·      Attempting to be a good dad and father, while you were undercover. How did you and your family deal with all of that?  ·      Sunny Barger, who he was and Jay's relationship with him.·      What kind of bike the ATF gave Jay. Why only Harleys or maybe Indians?·      Mafia on two wheels?. ·      What is the filthy few?·      What happened at Laughlin?·      His informant, Pops, and Black Biscuit.·      Deep undercover, the effects on him and his family. ATF help? Debrief after the case?.·      How did you leave UC work??·      A surfing Hells Angel?·      How close he came to losing his own identity.·      His advice for someone who wants to do deep UC work.·      The book, No Angel: My Harrowing Undercover Journey to the Inner Circle of the Hells Angels.

In today's episode of the Truth Wanted, Aaron Jenson and Kelley Laughlin, discuss modern views of expertise, the importance of curiosity, and strategies to find facts. Choe in MI calls to explain why she does not think that expertise is overrated and asks about the show opening. Aaron explains how disheartening it is to see people use Google search over the expertise of people who have dedicated their lives to subjects. Kelley describes how it is important not to gatekeep knowledge. How does having a sense of curiosity play into the desire to learn true things? When the curiosity of children does not align with the religious beliefs of the church, how does that affect the church's opinion of experts?Eric in CO believes that it is more difficult to discern fake from real in today's world because of the lack of source citing internet. Sometimes we must pay for good information that is accurately sourced. How trustworthy are the top search returns on a subject? What are the advantages to using Wikipedia to gain a high level knowledge on something? Back in the stone age, we actually had to go to something called a library and find real books. People want to believe things and will rely on the websites that agree with them. Jon in Canada agrees with a previous caller Choe about curiosity being a good thing and has been more curious in his life lately. Jon asks how people can believe things they have not seen. Kelley explains how indoctrination happens from childhood, and how people are taught not to even question it. How do you know when you believe something just because everyone around you believes it?Thank you for joining us today!

Good Alfacast friend, Ole Dammegard, one of the pioneers of the early truth seeking era, recently introduced us to a fellow traveler well in the flow of the consciousness shift presently approaching critical mass.  Parallel to our own leanings, he understands the 'solution' as an internal journey backed by a bit of altruism and elbow grease. On this episode we're delighted to host Brad Laughlin, author of Living with Enlightenment—A Journey of Love, which is about his 30-year life-partnership with Leslie Temple-Thurston, a teacher of enlightenment, and the profound spiritual transformation he experienced. Brad's core work is about helping people to awaken spiritually and to find love, joy and inspiration during these times of great change. Using ancient Truth teachings, yogic principles and spiritual psychology, he offers simple yet powerful practices for transformation. One aspect of Brad's work includes interspecies communication, which opens us to the understanding that we are not separate individuals but that our thoughts and feelings are shared and we are all connected at another level of consciousness. Brad and Leslie are co-founders of the nonprofit, CoreLight.org. Their humanitarian arm, Seeds of Light.org, serves marginalized communities in South Africa, including orphans and vulnerable children. Please join us as Brad shares his inspirational journey, and how each one of us can make a difference when we cease to look "outside".

In today's episode of Truth Wanted, Objectively Dan and Kelley Laughlin revisit a discussion about photos on Mars before diving into the contrasting world of nostalgia and a light summary of a famous Allegedly Ian debate. Daniel in Canada, who called in last week as Jupiter 2, adds some context to the second photo he shared and thought it might be a reenactment, and stands by the claim with the first photo shared where a magnifying glass was used to look at the detail. Modern technology allows for us to go far past magnifying glasses to look at photos. How is NASA supposed to do anything if we can just come up with a conspiracy for everything they say? It is not a lie that our technology is more advanced than it was 20 years ago. Why would NASA keep these things from us? Sometimes we just have to admit that pareidolia is nothing more than pareidolia. Dee in IA is struck by how differently atheists and theists look at pivotal points in their life. Theists tend to use these times to glorify god. Dee explains how this is contrasted by Kelley who takes ownership of these things and is proud of how they changed him. At the end of the day, the theists are selling their product starting with the indoctrination of children. Dee is motivated today by the desire to alleviate suffering, another stark contrast to what motivates theists. Daisy in WA recommends some videos such as the debate between Jordan Peterson and Allegedly Ian where Jordan dodged a question regarding his faith. Dan would love to be hooked up as someone who will debate JP. When JP talks about this and denies it, we find it weird. Thank you for joining us this week! Ely Slack, our backup host joins us to close out the show and remind us of the question of the week: What is the least inappropriate introduction for door to door soul winning?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-wanted--3195473/support.

The smiling faces of the Little Rascals hide a sinister secret - one by one, these beloved child stars met tragic, often violent ends that defy coincidence. From Alfalfa's shocking shooting over a $50 debt to plane crashes, hit-and-runs, and house fires, these former icons died in ways so bizarre you'd think they were cursed.Behind the comedy shorts that entertained generations lies a darker story of exploitation. While Hal Roach Studios made millions, none of the 176 children who appeared in the series ever received a penny in residuals. Many former stars watched themselves on television while struggling to make ends meet - a psychological torture that drove many toward destructive paths.We unpack how the series began with Hal Roach, a former paper boy to Mark Twain who created groundbreaking entertainment showing black and white children playing together during the Jim Crow era. Yet this progressive façade masked troubling realities – stage parents fostering racial tensions, exploitative financial arrangements, and a work environment that took a toll on everyone involved.From the suspicious poisoning of Pete the Pup to "Chubby" Chaney's heart failure at 18, "Froggy" Laughlin's deadly newspaper route, and "Weezer" surviving WWII only to die in a training exercise, the pattern of tragedy seems endless. While Roach lived to 100, dismissing any notion of a curse, the statistical improbability of so many early and violent deaths raises questions about the true price of childhood stardom in Hollywood's golden age.What happens when the spotlight fades but the camera keeps rolling? Listen now to discover the haunting legacy of Hollywood's most beloved child ensemble and decide for yourself - coincidence or curse?Send us a message!Support the showDeath in Entertainment is hosted by Kyle Ploof, Alejandro Dowling and Ben Kissel.New episodes every week!https://linktr.ee/deathinentertainment

Walking in menopause isn't just exercise — it's your secret sauce for boosting body and mind! With a few fun tweaks, make every step turn into a memory-boosting, fat-burning powerhouse. Slip on those sneakers. Tune in while taking a walk! This episode is all about making walking in menopause more beneficial! Walking 40 minutes three times a week increases Hippocampus(memory central). A 2011 study on older adults at the University of Colorado, published in the Journal Neuroimage, proved this! The hidden gem – you can walk at any pace you like. There's no minimum exertion level for this to happen. Walk short vs long So much research I've shared previously showed that intermittent breaks really matter more.  Breaking up sedentary time with 2-5 minute movement breaks reduced post-meal blood sugar spikes by 17%. Walk after meals 10 minute walks after meals had a more positive impact than a single long walk. Especially when it comes to blood sugar, belly fat and insulin resistance, more studies show! And yes, after is better than before. But if you're debating between before or not at all, yes go! You will make walking in menopause more beneficial this way by directly supporting blood sugar balance and combating insulin resistance. Go a different route or backwards Dr Ellen Langer, the Mother of Mindfulness, was the first female professor at Harvard and she's done some notable research in aging, mindset, and placebo. She shared the idea of creating habits – have us all operating automatically. Instead, she said the secret is noticing. Truly being mindful. More Fun Ways to Make Walking in Menopause a Total Game-Changer Walk and talk (therapists now walk) Need a little therapy? If not with an actual therapist but a friend. There's science to show the combination of walking outdoors (possibly even at a track) and talking is beneficial. Throw into the mix sunshine and you have three powerful serotonin producers, for a feel good session to rival antidepressant and anxiety meds. I've been known to take my phone and call a friend and talk through a 45 minute walk when life gets crazy. Amplify the learning opportunity Students who learn best, do. Learning any material while moving can boost your retention of it. The trick is to find activity and content you can focus on. Walking makes it easy and listening to a podcast that's educating you - whether on the benefits of walking (this is truly meta if you're walking right now) or you're learning about how to organize your closet or why essential amino acids are important. Students who move retain up to 76% compared to 37% while sitting. Weighted vest Using a weighted vest can increase the metabolic costs, relative exercise intensity, and loading of the skeletal system during walking. A study of trail runners concluded that between 5 and 10% the physiological and mechanical changes were significant. Meaning that at 10% additional load, there could be a considerable amount more stress on your system and your mechanics may also be altered. If you weigh 140 lbs and are using a weighted vest, you might be best starting for short periods of time with between 7 and 14 lbs, being careful not to do much time with 14 lbs until well adapted. And Finally—The 8th Way To Make Walking In Menopause More Beneficial Add intervals Do this last one with conscious planning. It's not always “more is better.” Many midlife and older women were born into the “harder or more is better” thinking. It can be hard to lose this. But if you never go easy, you're fooling yourself to think your “hard” effort is actually your capacity. To make walking more beneficial in menopause you'll want it all: short and moderate and longer walks. You'll want brisk and leisurely paced walks. But at the core of the majority of benefits from walking is just do it, daily, for a cumulative effect of movement that occurs several times a day. Are you interested in a virtual training that accumulates in a virtual “event”? Maybe a Flipping 50 walk on the same day, in different parts of the world.

Today's episode is a must-watch, especially if you're in the real estate investment game (or plan to be). We're joined by my good buddy Aaron Young, CEO of Laughlin and Associates, to discuss something vital: protecting your assets.Let's face it, the real estate world is a wild west—sometimes literally! While you're trying to build your real estate empire, you could encounter lawsuits from disgruntled employees, investors, or even other cowboys who aren't playing fair. You don't want to encounter any of those situations that could result in a lawsuit. That's why asset protection is crucial.The biggest mistake many investors make is not planning for the "SHIT fan"—the sudden, unexpected catastrophe that can derail your business. It's not if you'll face a problem; it's when. Thinking ahead will prevent the biggest headaches.Here are some key takeaways from our conversation with Aaron:The Big Picture: Before you even think about LLCs, define your goals. What are you hoping to achieve? Selling properties? Cash flow? Are you planning to build a small empire or be a big real estate tycoon? Having a clear picture will guide your legal structure choices.LLCs: Your Shield: LLCs (Limited Liability Companies) offer critical protection. But simply setting one up isn't enough. You need proper corporate formalities: board meetings, operating agreements, resolutions, and more. Otherwise, your LLC might not hold up in court. It's like having a fancy-looking saddle that falls apart during a long ride!Regularity Is Key: The most common mistake? Ignoring the necessary corporate formalities! Holding regular board meetings and keeping proper records isn't just a legal requirement; it's the proof that you're separating your business from your personal life. This keeps your personal assets safe in case something bad happens.The Tax Benefits: Structuring your business correctly provides significant tax benefits. Take advantage of those deductions, but do it legally. It's not about finding loopholes; it's about using the tax system to your advantage. You don't want to use that tax strategy that sends you to prison.Don't Skimp on the "Saddle": Don't hire a cheap, fly-by-night legal service! Professional help is an investment in your future. It may cost a little bit more up front, but it's far less expensive than facing a lawsuit.Aaron's expertise in forming LLCs and offering asset protection is invaluable. Laughlin and Associates has been doing this for over 50 years—they've seen it all! They offer a "Corporate Veil Protection Service" to help businesses stay compliant and protected. Their services also help ensure you are taking advantage of all the tax benefits available to you.Remember, protecting your assets isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. It's not a single event; it's a continuous process. Don't wait until the "SHIT fan" hits; prepare for it now!Get Your Asset Protection Started HERE!Sign up for the next Magnify Your Wealth Here!Watch the original VIDEO HERE!Love the show?

Dr. Nancy Locklin was already an author, professor, and specialist in pre-modern Europe before she dug in to a series of unsolved murders that occurred in Tennessee a century ago. A professor at Maryville College in Tennessee, Dr. Locklin shares the incredible journey behind her collaborative project exploring the unsolved case of the Night Marauder, a serial killer who terrorized East Tennessee in the 1920s. From engaging her students in deep research to uncovering long-forgotten community stories, Dr. Locklin's work sheds light on how the absence of modern conveniences like air conditioning, internet, and advanced forensics shaped life—and crime—in early 20th-century Appalachia. (Learn more about her work and connect at TheNightMarauderProject.com/ Dr. Locklin also delves into her broader academic journey, including her work on an 18th-century French murder trial, and how her training in historical violence informed her sensitivity to survivor stories. Through collaboration with students, local genealogists, and archivists, her Night Marauder project has gained attention, evolving into a forthcoming book set for release in 2026. You Will Learn: Engaged Learning Brings History to Life: Dr. Laughlin empowered her students to lead research efforts, building not only their academic skills but also their connection to local history. Survivor-Centric Storytelling Matters: Whether exploring 18th-century France or 1920s Tennessee, focusing on the humanity of victims fosters empathy and responsibility in research. Community Partnerships Create Impact: Collaboration with local libraries, genealogists, and media turned the Night Marauder project into a community-wide effort. Learn more about your ad choices.

Before online dating and social media, there were radio therapy shows. This week, we're diving into Sleepless in Seattle, one of the first great parasocial love stories! Joining us to break it down is friend of the pod and Normal Gossip producer, Alex Sujong Laughlin!

In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Armin Navabi and Kelley Laughlin, face attacks with no gravity and hurl their molecules under a big udder that prevents the sacrifice of finding the truth behind what the U.S. was based on. Chuck in HI says he has scientific evidence for god and this is that the matter in the universe is eternal. He goes on to say there is no such thing as gravity and that god is holding everything together. Where is the evidence for this self aware, thinking agent that holds the universe together? The caller uses an inappropriate ad hominem and is warned by the hosts. He then goes on to try to convince the hosts that the same molecule is inhaled that is exhaled. How would this get us to god if it is true? Why does something have to make the atoms work and what is the work you think they are doing? The caller continues his childish attempts at insulting the hosts before repeating claims instead of providing the evidence for the claims. Jackie in MS name dropped right off the bat even though Kelley explicitly asked him not to. He proposes that religion becomes a big udder that prevents sacrifice. How can you make your own points without referring to other philosophers? The key is to communicate in a way that is understandable. Why is there a need to use words that are undefined? Mike in SC wants to know how to determine if something is true. Armin likes to put things into two categories: empiricism(more reliable) and rationalism(less reliable). He explains how critical thinking skills and spotting logical fallacies play into figuring out which arguments are the best in addition to using Occam's Razor. There is a difference between the truth and what is justified.Kelley looks for unambiguous empirical evidence to find truth. The topic swings over to the existence of Jesus. Where is the evidence for the resurrection? Why should we believe the Bible being used to prove the Bible? How do you get from the claims of physical evidence to the supernatural? How do people being willing to die for their religion make it true? People have died for bad ideas and things that are wrong throughout history. What is your path to truth and how do you arrive there? When do you accept your evidence and what is your process to prove it? If you have a low percentage of surety, what makes the difference between a positive and a negative decision? Jon in Canada asks Kelley if he believes the U.S. was based on Christianity. Kelley explains how people misunderstand that separation of church was put there to protect religion from the government. And how many of the founding fathers were deists meaning that the U.S. was not based on Christianity but there were Christian influences on the founding of this nation. Ben Clodfelter joined to close out the show as Kelley cut a red tie. Thank you for tuning in this week! Prompt for the week is: When is it inappropriate to respond to, “checkmate atheists”?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-atheist-experience--3254896/support.
