He had used a Ouija board before without consequence.So when he brought one into his apartment in 2004, he wasn't expecting anything to follow. The first night was quiet. Nothing dramatic happened.Then the nights began to feel different.Strange sounds in the kitchen long after everyone was asleep. Activity that stopped the moment he went to check. Laughter outside at an hour when no one should have been awake.And one detail he still can't shake — something standing just outside his bedroom door.He threw the board away the next day.

Guy and Tim are BACK after a far longer absence than you may know. United in the bounds of fatherhood in a post-Joker 2 haze, your brave boiz are swapping stories of writers who insist on writing stories about writers, Guy's upcoming gig hosting a comedy show headlined by Tiffany Haddish, and Tim being on lots of drugs. Most crucially though, this is an opportunity to get another Hall of Famer piece of mail from the Great and Wise Chris Marlton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Monday, March 9th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Russian forces destroyed 450 Ukrainian Baptist churches According to a report published earlier this year by Mission Eurasia, a parachurch ministry dedicated to equipping churches in and around Ukraine, Russian forces have damaged or destroyed at least 737 religious buildings since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022. Of the 737 buildings affected, about 450 were Baptist churches. Baptists, while the largest Evangelical population in Ukraine, represent only 1 percent to 2 percent of the overall population, revealing that Russian forces are deliberately targeting Baptists in their violent campaign across Ukraine. In 1 John 3:13, Jesus said, “Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.” Hegseth says US has ‘iron-clad will' in Iran war War Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters on Thursday the United States will continue its attacks on Iran for as long as necessary, saying “We are in it to win it!”, reports NewsNation. Listen. HEGSETH: “Iran is hoping that we cannot sustain this, which is a really bad miscalculation. There's no shortage of American will here. “We remember and honor our fallen those six that we will soon Welcome at Dover, who gave everything for their country in this mission. We remember them, but we remember them by rededicating ourselves even more fervently to this mission. “Our commitment to our mission objectives only increases as our advantages continue to increase. We've got no shortage of munitions. Our stockpiles of defensive and offensive weapons allow us to sustain this campaign as long as we need to.” Secretary Hegseth contrasted the focused mission in Iran with other previously politically correct wars. HEGSETH: “The dumb, politically correct wars of the past were the opposite of what we're doing here. They had vague objectives with restrictive, minimalist rules of engagement. No more. Our authorities, through the President and myself, are maxed out. Our will is iron clad. We are built for this fight, and we are in it to win it.” Rep. Donalds holds Governor Walz accountable for Somali fraud On March 4th, Republican Congressman Byron Donalds of Florida asked Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz some tough questions about allegations of fraud tied to the Somali community in Minnesota during a House Oversight Committee hearing, reports ZeroHedge.com. DONALDS: “Was your office notified of these fraud allegations?” WALZ: “Not me.” DONALDS: “Specifically, we have it under sworn testimony in the Oversight Committee that your former chief of staff was notified directly by these various commissioners about the fraud in Minnesota.” WALZ: “Could be correct.” DONALDS: “So, are you saying that your chief of staff didn't notify you?” WALZ: “I'm saying I don't recall whether he did at that time or not, but we took action. So, I'm assuming, when we put our budgets together, based on that, we put a package together for that legislative session.” DONALDS: “Let's talk about budgets, Governor Walz. Feeding Our Future went from $307,000 in 2018 to $199 million in 2021. Are you aware of this increase in budgetary costs from Feeding Our Future?” WALZ: “Not specifically, but I know it increased during the pandemic.” DONALDS: “The Housing Stabilization Services went from $27 million in 2021 to $105 million in 2024. Are you aware of this increase, Governor Walz?” WALZ: “Not specifically, but I know it increased.” DONALDS: “Autism Centers went from $24 million in 2019 to $342 million in 2024. Are you aware of that?” WALZ: “Not specifically again. But yes, we know the budget increased.” DONALDS: “Integrated Community Supports went from $4.6 million in 2021 to $170 million in 2024. Are you aware of that?” WALZ: “Again, not specifically on the numbers, but it's the budget.” DONALDS: “Governor Walz, you have to submit a budget to your legislature every single year, like every governor has to do. If you're not aware of these increases, what was your office doing?” WALZ: “Everyone is balanced. My budget is about $72 billion. It involves 23 agencies.” DONALDS: “Florida's budget is $115 billion, sir. But what were you doing if you're seeing program increases like this amid allegations of fraud in your state?” Shockingly, $9 billion of taxpayer money was stolen in Minnesota which had been intended for marginalized communities. Planned Parenthood offers Botox injections to supplement abortion income There's a new wrinkle in Planned Parenthood's ever-changing post-Dobbs business plan: The abortion giant has begun offering Botox treatments as a much-needed additional source of income, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Planned Parenthood is in desperate need of new revenue streams after President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill blocked it from receiving federal Medicaid reimbursements.    As a result, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte — the group's largest affiliate spanning Northern California and Nevada — has been forced to scramble to plug an estimated $100 million revenue gap, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.   What is unsaid in the Wall Street Journal puff piece is that Planned Parenthood in Northern California and Nevada needs to generate money in new ways in order to subsidize aborting preborn children. Missouri's Personhood bill protects babies from conception Speaking of abortion, Missouri Republican State Senator Mike Moon introduced a resolution which would recognize the personhood of each child in the womb. The bill defines the term "person," under the Missouri state constitution, as including every human being with a unique DNA code regardless of age, including every in utero human child at every stage of biological development from the moment of conception until birth.  Whether you live in Missouri or not, call State Senator Moon's office at 573-751-1480 to thank him for sponsoring the Personhood resolution. Legendary pop star Neil Sedaka died And finally, Neil Sedaka, the Juilliard-trained pop music icon who sold millions of records worldwide and wrote or co-wrote over 1,000 songs, died on February 27th at the age of 86.  According to Parade, Neil Sedaka's most popular songs include chart-toppers like  "Oh! Carol," a 1959 song about his high school sweetheart, Carole King, who is 84 today. “Darling, there will never be another. Cause I love you so. Don't ever leave me. Say you'll never go. I will love you, for my sweetheart No matter what you do. Oh Carol, so in love with you.” “Breakin' Up is Hard to Do” “Comma-comma down, Dooby-doo, down-down Breakin' up is hard to do. Don't take your love away from me. Don't you leave my heart in misery. If you go, then I'll be blue Cause breakin' up is hard to do.” and "Laughter in the Rain." “Strolling along country roads with my baby It starts to rain, it begins to pour. Without an umbrella, we're soaked to the skin. I feel a shiver run up my spine. I feel the warmth of her hand in mine. “Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain, Walking hand in hand with the one I love. Ooh, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside” In the days following Sedaka's death, streams of his songs jumped by at least 500 percent. For example, there were 514,000 streams of “Laughter in the Rain.” In his 1982 autobiography, Laughter in the Rain, Sedaka remembered himself as “a Jewish mama's boy” – a resounding understatement that did not reflect how completely Eleanor dominated his life until his mid-20s, reports The Guardian. During his first wave of success, between 1958 and 1963, he handed over five-figure royalty checks, which she cashed and kept, allowing him a $1,000 monthly stipend. Later, when Sedaka discovered that his mother, who had appointed herself his manager, had spent most of his money, he fired her and she attempted suicide. Neil married his wife, Leba, in 1962 with whom he had a son and daughter.  The fact that their marriage lasted six decades is rare in the entertainment industry. Matthew 19:6 says, “Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.” During the pandemic, Sedaka played 150 mini-concerts on his Facebook page from his home.

What if Clue isn't just a cult comedy — but a sharp satire of the Cold War?In this episode of Reckoning with Jason Herbert, historian Julio Capó Jr. joins me to unpack the surprisingly profound history lesson hidden inside the 1985 film Clue. Set in a 1950s mansion but released during the Reagan era, Clue plays with paranoia, anti-communism, class anxiety, and America's nostalgic myths about the past — all while delivering rapid-fire jokes and multiple endings.We explore how the film reflects Cold War politics, the cultural mood of the 1980s, and why its farcical dinner party still resonates today. Is Clue simply a beloved murder mystery comedy? Or is it a clever commentary on power, fear, and the stories Americans tell about themselves?If you love film history, Cold War history, political satire, or cult classics, this conversation will make you see Clue in an entirely new light.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Jordi's Swan Showdown: A Picnic Tale of Triumph and Laughter Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2026-03-04-08-38-20-ca Story Transcript:Ca: En un dia radiant de primavera al Parc de la Ciutadella, el sol brillava en un cel blau immaculat.En: On a radiant spring day at the Parc de la Ciutadella, the sun shone in an immaculate blue sky.Ca: Els ocells cantaven, les fulles dels arbres es movien suaument amb la brisa, i tot el parc estava ple de vida.En: The birds sang, the leaves of the trees moved gently with the breeze, and the entire park was full of life.Ca: La gespa era fresca sota els peus, i el murmuri dels visitants creava una melodia de fons agradable.En: The grass was fresh underfoot, and the murmur of visitors created a pleasant background melody.Ca: Jordi estava eufòric i alhora nerviós.En: Jordi was both euphoric and nervous.Ca: Avui era el dia del seu pícnic amb Martí i Alba, la nova companya de classe que volia impressionar.En: Today was the day of his picnic with Martí and Alba, the new classmate he wanted to impress.Ca: Alba era simpàtica, amb un somriure encantador que il·luminava la seva cara.En: Alba was friendly, with a charming smile that lit up her face.Ca: Martí era el seu fidel amic, sempre despreocupat i amb ganes de passar una bona estona.En: Martí was his loyal friend, always carefree and eager to have a good time.Ca: Amb una cistella plena de delícies, es van asseure a prop del llac on els ànecs nedaven.En: With a basket full of delights, they sat near the lake where ducks were swimming.Ca: Les flors estaven en plena floració, i l'ambient era perfecte per a una reunió amable.En: The flowers were in full bloom, and the setting was perfect for a friendly gathering.Ca: Jordi, tot i ser amant dels ocells, tenia un secret que mantenia ocult: li feien por els cignes.En: Although Jordi was a bird lover, he had a secret he kept hidden: he was afraid of swans.Ca: Però avui, res podia arruïnar la seva intenció de passar un bon dia... o almenys això pensava.En: But today, nothing could ruin his intention of having a good day... or so he thought.Ca: Mentre gaudien dels entrepans i les galetes, un cigne majestuós però amb aire entremaliat va començar a aproximar-se.En: While they enjoyed the sandwiches and cookies, a majestic swan with a mischievous air began to approach.Ca: Amb els ulls fixos en la seva cistella de menjar, l'animal es va moure amb decisió cap al grup, movent les seves grans ales amb autoritat.En: With its eyes fixed on their food basket, the animal moved decisively towards the group, flapping its large wings with authority.Ca: Martí, sense adonar-se de la tensió de Jordi, va riure.En: Martí, unaware of Jordi's tension, laughed.Ca: "Mira, un cigne vol sumar-se a la festa!" va exclamar.En: "Look, a swan wants to join the party!" he exclaimed.Ca: Alba el va observar encuriosida, mentre Jordi intentava mantenir la calma aparent.En: Alba watched curiously, while Jordi tried to maintain an outward calm.Ca: El cigne, juganer i una mica descarat, intentava picotejar una de les galetes.En: The swan, playful and a bit cheeky, tried to peck at one of the cookies.Ca: Jordi va respirar profundament.En: Jordi took a deep breath.Ca: Sabia que marxar hauria estat perdre davant el seu temor, i no volia mostrar debilitat davant d'Alba.En: He knew that leaving would mean losing to his fear, and he didn't want to show weakness in front of Alba.Ca: Reunint tot el seu coratge, es va aixecar, encara que les cames li tremolaven.En: Gathering all his courage, he stood up, even though his legs were trembling.Ca: Amb veu segura però serena, va agitar les mans cap al cigne.En: With a sure but calm voice, he waved his hands at the swan.Ca: El seu cor bategava amb força.En: His heart was pounding.Ca: "Vés, bonic, avui no hi ha menjar per a tu", va dir amb un somriure tens.En: "Go on, lovely, there's no food for you today," he said with a tense smile.Ca: El cigne va fer un grall de descontentament, però va retrocedir lentament.En: The swan let out a dissatisfied honk but retreated slowly.Ca: Després d'uns moments de tensió, es va girar i va marxar cap al llac.En: After a few tense moments, it turned and headed back to the lake.Ca: Jordi es va asseure de nou, encara tremolant una mica, però amb un sentiment de triomf intern.En: Jordi sat back down, still trembling a bit, but with a feeling of internal triumph.Ca: Martí i Alba el van aplaudir entre rialles, divertits per la situació.En: Martí and Alba applauded him amidst laughter, amused by the situation.Ca: "Quin heroi!", va dir Alba amb un to burleta però amable.En: "What a hero!" said Alba in a teasing but kind tone.Ca: Jordi va somriure, avergonyit però satisfet.En: Jordi smiled, embarrassed but satisfied.Ca: El seu cor es va calmar, i l'ambient es va omplir de rialles i conversa animada.En: His heart calmed down, and the atmosphere filled with laughter and lively conversation.Ca: A mesura que el sol baixava lleugerament i el dia avançava, Jordi va sentir que havia superat una part d'ell mateix.En: As the sun dipped slightly and the day progressed, Jordi felt he had surpassed a part of himself.Ca: No només havia impressionat Alba, sinó que també havia guanyat algun grau de confiança que mai havia pensat possible.En: Not only had he impressed Alba, but he had also gained a degree of confidence he had never thought possible.Ca: El pícnic va continuar amb alegria, convertint aquella anècdota en una història divertida que recordaria sempre.En: The picnic continued with joy, turning that anecdote into a funny story he would always remember.Ca: En aquell racó frondós del parc, Jordi sabia que havia canviat, i que fins i tot la por més gran podia ser vençuda amb valentia.En: In that lush corner of the park, Jordi knew he had changed, and that even the greatest fear could be overcome with courage.

Psalms 1 & 2 E2 — Psalm 2 presents a crisis perpetuated by a long line of corrupt empires in the ancient Near East. Every one of these empires makes a practice of conquering, murdering, raping, and pillaging across the known world, while ancient Israel is just one small nation conquered and occupied again and again. So how do Yahweh and his anointed king respond to this injustice? Surprisingly, a lot like how the evil imperial rulers do: with mocking laughter, hot anger, and by smashing them like pottery! But why? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Psalm 2 as a minority report from an oppressed, ancient people group and an intentionally provocative portrait of God within the broader context of the Hebrew Bible.  FULL SHOW NOTES For chapter-by-chapter summaries, biblical words, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.

Series: GENESIS | Scripture: Genesis 21:1-7 | Description: A look at the Lord who visits His people by keeping his promises through miraculous births, who always has perfect timing, who is the author and perfecter of our faith, and who brings joyous laughter through our many doubts and trials.

Four cancers, three strokes, two brain aneurysms, a divorce, and 27 surgeries — and she came out on the other side with a book, a podcast, and a whole lot of laughter.Teresa Baglietto joins Brigitte Cutshall on Real Things Living for a raw and deeply relatable conversation about surviving the unsurvivable. From her first cancer diagnosis in 2008 through a decade of medical crises, Teresa shares how she leaned on her faith, her village of friends, and her sense of humor to keep going. She opens up about raising three boys through it all, writing her book, The Ripple Effect, and launching her podcast In Shock — both rooted in the belief that our hardest moments don't have to define us, but they can absolutely shape us.Takeaways:(1) Laughter is medicine. Teresa credits her community of funny, loving friends as one of her most powerful healing tools. Giving yourself permission to laugh — even in the darkest moments — releases stress, shifts your energy, and brings moments of joy when you need them most.(2) Suppression creates disease. Teresa and Brigitte both emphasize that keeping your struggles hidden can catch up with you. Being vocal and open about what you're going through isn't weakness — it's a survival strategy.(3) Your anchors matter. Rather than just talking about resilience, Teresa's book, The Ripple Effect, focuses on the anchors — the specific habits, people, and mindsets that actually carry you through. Resilience is the outcome; the anchors are the practice.Check out Teresa's book "The Ripple Effect" - https://www.amazon.com/Ripple-Effect-Teresa-Baglietto/dp/B0G2SXSLXGHer podcast "In Shock" on YouTube and all major platforms https://www.youtube.com/@inshock.podcast Connect with her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/inshock.podcast/Visit her website at https://teresabaglietto.com And if you loved this episode, share it with someone who needs a reminder that joy is always worth fighting for.

Did you know that laughing triggers feel-good chemicals and has real health benefits?

The arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on Epstein-related allegations of misconduct in public office stuns the world. He has not been charged with any offence – but is the former Prince's past damaging the Monarchy irreparably? And when will the victims of Epstein and his circle get justice? Plus, as the vindictive Gorton & Denton by-election enters its last few days we talk to Jack Walton of local news site Manchester Mill about the vibe on the ground… and whether it's worse for Labour if the Greens or Matt Goodwin of Reform win.  • Manchester Mill is part of the Mill Media group creating good old-fashioned local journalism for British cities including Liverpool, Sheffield, Glasgow and Bristol.  ESCAPE ROUTES • Rachel has been watching the Winter Olympics as a chaser to Heated Rivalry on Sky.  • Jack has been reading Laughter in the Dark by Vladimir Nabokov • Andrew recommends escaping modern politics by diving into '90s politics and C4's The Tony Blair Story.

Share a commentSoup steaming on a wooden table. Laughter, arguments, and ink-stained notes flying between students and a weary reformer. At the center stands Katharina von Bora, running a 40-room refuge, balancing ledgers, and setting the stage for the conversations that would become Table Talk. We pull back the curtain on the unseen power of Katie's table and how a marriage that started as a shock proposal turned into a living model that reshaped church, family, and vocation.We walk through Luther's bold teaching that pastors could marry and that faithfulness at home reveals fitness to lead. Then we get honest about the mess: a decaying cloister, rancid straw, and two strong-willed people choosing commitment over compatibility. Katharina brings order and enterprise—whitewashing walls, buying cattle, managing property—while Luther embraces humility, even championing fathers who wash diapers as a witness of real Christianity. Together they embody a new vision of sacred calling, where the milkmaid, the mechanic, the teacher, and the parent each practice holy work.The story doesn't dodge pain. Slander hounds Katharina from both Catholic and Protestant corners, yet she keeps serving, raising children, adopting kin, and welcoming refugees who crowd the halls. Meanwhile, the evening ritual becomes legendary: light supper, deep debate, and an open chair for Katie's questions. Without her, there's no supper; without supper, no sustained exchange; without exchange, no Table Talk. By handing her finances and authority, Luther models partnership; by claiming a voice at the table, Katharina reframes what a home can do.If you care about marriage, leadership, parenting, or the quiet labor that powers big ideas, this story will recalibrate your sense of what counts. Press play, share it with a friend who carries unseen weight at home, and leave a review to tell us which moment from Katie's table stayed with you._____Stephen's latest book, Legacies of Light, Volume 2, is our gift for your special donation to our ministry.
