As the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament winds down this week, That Don't Sound Right dives into one of the biggest stories in tournament history with special guest Glenn, who brings firsthand knowledge and behind-the-scenes insight from the docks, the boats, and the Gulf Stream. That Don't Sound Right is a podcast about talking—the way we did before the internet, when you couldn't instantly fact-check everything and all the expertise lived in the people around the conversation. In this timely episode, Peter and Cecil sit down with Glenn to discuss the legendary 919-pound blue marlin that shattered tournament records and made headlines throughout the fishing world. The story gets even wilder when they discuss what was found inside the fish—a sailfish that added another layer to an already unbelievable catch. The conversation explores what it's really like to compete in the Big Rock, from running high-performance sportfishing boats 40-plus miles offshore to the Gulf Stream, to the strategy, teamwork, pressure, and excitement that come with chasing trophy billfish and life-changing prize money. Whether you're following this year's tournament, planning a trip to the Crystal Coast, or simply curious about one of North Carolina's most iconic sporting events, Glenn shares stories that bring listeners aboard for the action. From tournament rules and weigh-ins to crew dynamics and the realities of battling a giant marlin, this episode captures the thrill that makes Big Rock a summer tradition. As boats head offshore this week in search of the next record catch, join Peter, Cecil, and Glenn for a conversation about the fish, the fishermen, and the stories that keep everyone coming back year after year. Because when someone tells you a 919-pound marlin swallowed a sailfish and still got caught... that don't sound right.

Before they get to the business of insurance and estate planning, the two cover a lot of ground: the culture shock of living overseas, why the right has lost the moral high ground on insider trading, how cheap drones are quietly dismantling the aircraft carrier model, and the retention crisis brewing across the military. Then they bring it home to what matters most for the Remnant audience, the hard financial lessons that hit different when you are sitting in a war zone with an unfunded trust. If you have been putting off funding your trust or teaching your spouse how the system works, this episode is the wake-up call.Chapters:00:00 – Opening segment01:30 – Culture shock and the concept of being a "friar" 04:00 – Throwing elbows: comparing direct cultures abroad 06:30 – No personal boundaries and the bluntness spectrum 08:55 – What is the mission? 11:20 – The right's lost moral high ground on insider trading 14:40 – Prediction markets and the insider trading loophole 17:05 – Regret over the vote and the case against federal elections 18:50 – The Massie primary and the most expensive race in history 20:00 – The retention crisis: what the Guard and Reserves were meant to be 24:00 – No emotional stake: why this war won't swell the ranks 27:40 – How cheap drones defeated the aircraft carrier model 31:50 – They waived the vax mandate the moment they needed bodies 33:10 – Brian's decision36:50 – Prepare your spouse to be a widow: the unfunded trust problem 40:30 – Does your wife know how to take a policy loan? 43:05 – The 72-hour power-kill drill and survival planning 44:25 – Closing segmentKey Takeaways:An unfunded trust is the same as no trust. Brian admits his own trust is not properly funded, and now, deployed and off the grid, he cannot fix it. Funding the trust is the step everyone pushes to "next Friday" until life makes it impossible.Your life insurance living benefits only help your family if they know how to use it. Both Hans and Brian confess their wives have never been walked through the mechanics of taking a policy loan. Knowing what a policy loan is and knowing which buttons to click are two very different things.Prepare your spouse to be a widow before you think you need to. Nelson Nash did this late in life. The point stands at any age: your spouse should know where the documents are, how the system works, and what to do in an emergency, long before that emergency arrives.Run the drill while the stakes are low. Kill the main breaker for 72 hours and find the holes in your family's preparedness before a real crisis exposes them. The same logic applies financially: have your spouse take the next policy loan so the knowledge is real, not theoretical.

As a lonely, grieving teenager in the early days of the internet, Celeste Mott is drawn into a secretive message board called "The Looking Glass": a place where self-proclaimed vampires demand total belief, reward devotion, and punish doubt. What begins as fantasy soon becomes something much more dangerous: a closed world built on manipulation, hierarchy, and psychological control. Years later, Celeste tells the story of how she was pulled in, why it was so hard to leave, and the charismatic figure at the center of it all.

In this part 2 chat, we sit down with Mark Branon who was sentenced to 60 years (a life sentence) and survived some of the most dangerous federal penitentiaries in the United States. He shares the full story—from alleged government misconduct in his case, to fighting endless appeals that went nowhere, to navigating brutal prison politics where violence was a daily reality. Inside, he lived through: -Extreme conditions in Maricopa County Jail -Relentless pressure to snitch—and the consequences of refusing -High-level prison yards like Victorville, where stabbings were routine -Years in solitary confinement (the SHU) -Organized riots, race wars, and prison hierarchy -Personal loss, including the tragic death of his son while he was locked up Despite everything, he eventually overturned part of his case and walked free. Now on the outside, he's focused on helping others—especially those dealing with grief, trauma, and rebuilding after rock bottom.

The women in the Firsthand Self Report were not doubting their choices. They were doubting their capacity to build something real and lasting inside a system that was specifically designed to make that harder. This episode breaks down the sustainability doubt paradox, the specific research finding that explains why women who have already chosen themselves are still carrying persistent uncertainty about whether the life they chose is structurally survivable. Sherese Charlie Taylor maps the four compounding financial gaps that produce this doubt, and explains how each one layers on top of the last to create a set of conditions that a single woman building her own life is navigating simultaneously. In this podcast, she breaks down the strategy to navigate a part of the system. For full framework access, visit her exclusive paid Substack community. Learn the game. Identify the gift.

Episode 87 of the Hidden History of Texas - The Towns the Company Owned There was a time in East Texas…when you could live your entire life…without ever leaving the reach of a single company. They built your house. They paid your wages. They sold you your food. They taught your children…and sometimes… they buried your dead. These were the company towns of East Texas places that don't always show up in the history books…but helped build the state as we know it. The Piney Woods System Long before oil changed Texas…the wealth of East Texas came from the forest. Endless stretches of longleaf pine straight, tall, and valuable. But the forests weren't near cities. They were deep in the Piney Woods…isolated… difficult… and expensive to reach. So the lumber companies did something remarkable. They didn't just build mills. They built entire towns. Places like Diboll, Manning, and Camden weren't accidents of settlement they were designed systems. Efficient. Controlled. Purpose-built. A Life Inside the System In these towns…you didn't just work for the company. You lived inside it. Your house? Owned by the company. Your groceries? Bought at the company store. Your paycheck? Sometimes paid in cash…sometimes in scrip, currency only good inside that same system. And if you stepped back and looked at it what you saw wasn't just a town. It was a closed loop. A complete economic ecosystem…decades before anyone used words like “platform” or “vertical integration.” Diboll: The Model Town Take Diboll, for example. Built around the Southern Pine Lumber Company, it became one of the most structured company towns in Texas. Neighborhoods were organized. Workers were grouped, sometimes by job, sometimes by race. Life had a rhythm… defined by the mill whistle. Diboll lasted longer than most. Not because the system changed…but because the company adapted just enough to survive. Many others weren't so fortunate. When the Forest Was Gone The thing about timber towns…is that they were built on something that could disappear. Tree by tree. Rail line by rail line. And when the forest was gone…the reason for the town disappeared with it. Places like Manning faded quietly. No dramatic collapse. No headlines. Just… empty houses. Silent tracks. And the slow return of the forest. Then Came Oil Then, in 1930, everything changed. The East Texas Oil Boom didn't just create wealth, it created chaos. Where timber towns were planned…oil towns exploded. Kilgore. Joinerville and dozens more. Overnight, forests filled with derricks. Fields turned into tent cities, shacks were thrown up, and hurried streets. The companies were still there, but control was looser. Faster. Rougher. Temporary. If timber towns were systems…oil towns were surges. Control vs. Freedom And that's the contrast that defines this hidden chapter. Timber towns offered stability, but at the cost of control. Oil towns offered opportunity but at the cost of order. Two different models of the same idea: What happens when an entire community…is built around a single industry? Closing Today, if you drive through East Texas…you'll pass through places like Diboll without thinking twice. You might not notice what used to be there. The rows of company houses. The store where everyone shopped. The mill that set the rhythm of life. But the pattern hasn't disappeared. It's just changed form. Because the idea of a “company town”…never really went away. It evolved. From the forests of the Piney Woods…to the oil fields beneath them…this is another chapter in the Hidden History of Texas. But in reality, History isn't over yet, because “The Company Town Never Left” There's a phrase we don't use much anymore. “Company town.” It sounds like something from another century; something tied to sawmills… rail lines… and oil derricks. But if you look a little closer…the idea didn't disappear. It just changed form. In those East Texas towns, the company controlled the essentials. Where you lived. Where you worked. Where you shopped. Your economic life…was contained within a single system. And today? We don't always live in physical company towns…but many of us live in digital ones. Think about it. The platforms we depend on, for communication, business, even identity They provide the marketplace. They set the rules. They take a percentage of every transaction. And if you step outside that system…you often lose access to the very audience you built. Now, Washington doesn't call them company towns. It calls them markets. Platforms. Ecosystems. But the questions feel familiar. How much control is too much? What happens when one system becomes unavoidable?And who really owns the value created inside it? In East Texas, when the timber ran out…the towns disappeared. When oil slowed down…people moved on. But today's systems aren't tied to a forest…or a field. They're tied to infrastructure…policy…and increasingly… data. And that's what makes this moment different. Because for the first time, the “company town” isn't in one place. It's everywhere. Something to think about…as we look at where we've been, and where we might be going. This is the Hidden History of Texas

When Melissa learns that her father, a respected pastor, was a serial child predator shielded by the church, her world implodes. But this revelation is only the beginning.From being beaten for resisting a childhood home perm to seducing a forbidden public-school athlete to reclaim her autonomy, Melissa's early years were shaped by repression, shame, and indoctrination. Her escape from high-control religion launched her into a life of risk: Wall Street jobs, New York nightclubs, Hollywood hookups, and a series of abusive relationships. And yet, in these extremes, she was searching. Through self-reflection and finding her voice, and through an unexpected friendship with her father's first victim, Melissa slowly reconstructs the self she was never allowed to know.Holy Disobedience is not just a survivor's tale. It's a story of fierce honesty, radical freedom, and the beautiful mess of becoming whole.✖️✖️✖️Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.

The gap between what was promised and what is experienced is a real part of the Christian life. Many believe, have seen God move, and still ask, “Did anything actually happen to me?” That question grows when outward life does not reflect inward hope. This gap is not failure but the space between what God has done and what has not yet appeared. The reality of a dying body explains why struggle continues even after salvation. “Though the body is dead because of sin” (Romans 8:10, NASB 2020) points to a condition rooted in the fall, not personal weakness. Every person lives under this sentence, and no amount of effort removes it in this life. The reality of a living spirit reveals what changed at salvation. When Christ comes in, the Spirit brings life where there was death. “Something that was dead woke up… not a feeling… a resurrection on the inside” describes a real and decisive transformation that cannot be seen externally. The tension of two realities defines the present experience. “What's over you is still dying. What's in you is already alive” explains why a person can be alive in Christ while still feeling the effects of sin and decay. The answer to the gap is that something real already happened. “Yes, it worked. More happened to you than you know” affirms that the work of God is deeper than current experience. The question is not whether life is present but whether it is recognized. As you reflect on this message this week, consider the following: The gap between what was promised and what is experienced is not failure but tension that requires faith. Reflect on where you feel that gap most strongly right now. Are you interpreting that space as something went wrong, or as evidence that something deeper has already begun? What's over you is still dying, but what's in you is already alive. Consider how much of your attention is focused on your external circumstances versus the life of the Spirit within you. What would it look like this week to intentionally pay attention to what God has already done on the inside? More happened to you than you know. Think about areas where you feel unchanged or stuck. Instead of asking why nothing is happening, how might your perspective shift if you believed that something decisive has already taken place and your experience is catching up?

The Kouri Richins trial put evidence, testimony, and legal arguments on the record. This conversation puts the psychology on the record — and that's the part that speaks to the widest audience.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke to walk through the complete psychological arc of the Richins marriage — using documented patterns of narcissistic and borderline relationships as the lens. The love bombing that makes the beginning feel like fate. The coercive control that makes the middle feel inescapable. The dangerous calculus of the exit. And what recovery honestly demands from the people who make it out.Listeners who have followed this case will find every unanswered question about the relationship itself addressed in full here.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Toni Laites made history last year as the first American to win Love Island, but her journey to the villa was anything but ordinary. Discovered in Las Vegas working as a cabana girl by the show's creative director, Toni was persuaded to fly 6,000 miles to Mallorca. The rest, as they say, is history. But you don't need to be a Love Island superfan to love this episode. Toni is funny, emotionally intelligent and disarmingly honest. She opens up about living with the chronic illness Ulcerative Colitis, her pattern of choosing the wrong men in the past, working through anxious attachment and the hard-won strength it takes to forgive yourself. This is a conversation about resilience, self-awareness and what it really means to back yourself - even when the odds (and the public vote) are against you. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 03:18 Vegas Sales to Villa Casting 05:36 Saying Yes to Love Island 07:21 Life Inside the Villa 08:33 Votes, Outcasts and Forgiveness 10:57 The Big Three Friendship 14:18 Health Scare and Ulcerative Colitis 28:10 Tourist In London 28:43 Toxic Dating Patterns 32:22 Pressure On Her Relationship 34:57 Fame And Social Media 37:34 Family And Attachment 44:28 Self Criticism And Hate 49:44 Plan For The Future
This episode puts words to what a trauma bond feels like before there is language for it. The quiet erosion. The logic loops. The way your needs slowly become “too much.” The way calm, rational explanations are used to invalidate your emotional reality. The way you start rehearsing conversations, monitoring your tone, silencing yourself, and shrinking—just to keep the peace.This is not a story about explosive fights or obvious cruelty. It is about subtle control, emotional superiority, and the kind of psychological manipulation that makes you doubt your own perceptions while trying harder and harder to make the relationship work.In this episode, you'll hear:Why trauma bonds don't feel abusive while you're in themHow “logical” partners can still be deeply emotionally abusiveWhat cognitive dissonance does to your sense of selfWhy your nervous system starts reacting before your mind catches upHow silence, self-erasure, and hyper-independence become survival strategiesWhy “just leaving” is not simple—and never wasSupport the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

In this interview, Rose shares her powerful story of growing up in the FLDS church and what life was like in this fundamentalist, patriarchal system.At just 10 years old, Rose's father was sent away, and she was reassigned to a new family and home, something common in the FLDS. While helping care for her mother's mental health struggles, Rose was forced into a parental role at a young age, raising siblings before she ever got to be a child herself.As a teenager, Rose began quietly rebelling by pursuing education in secret. She earned her GED and attended college without church approval, a risky decision inside the FLDS where education, especially for girls, is discouraged.In her early 20s, Rose left the FLDS church and began rebuilding her life outside of religious control. Today, she is finding freedom, identity, and healing after growing up in a system rooted in patriarchy and obedience.This interview offers firsthand insight into life inside the FLDS, family reassignment, escaping religious extremism, and the long journey to freedom after leaving a high control group.Rose's Insta: https://www.instagram.com/theerozee/FB: https://www.facebook.com/Theerozee.1993If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to us!growingupinpolygamy@gmail.com

Let's take a look at Florida State Hospital
My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Leslie R Schover, author of the book Fission. Leslie is a clinical psychologist and brings her knowledge of people and relationships to her fiction writing. She spent most of her career at the Cleveland Clinic and the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. She published three self-help books and created a digital health company to educate people with cancer about sex and fertility. Will2Love.com won a 2019 Innovation Prize in the Astellas C 3 Changing Cancer Care contest. Her first published novel, Fission: A Novel of Atomic Heartbreak draws on her parents' stories of Oak Ridge during the Manhattan Project and on revelations of Soviet spies there. She lives in Houston, Texas with her faithful dog, Luc. In my book review, I stated that Fission is a wonderful historical fiction. Although set during WWII, this book takes place completely within the United States as we follow Doris and her husband Rob to Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Doris' husband is tapped to work on the Manhattan Project, a top-secret program to create the first atomic bomb. As a reluctant young mother and bride, Doris first has to decide if she will move to Oak Ridge or continue her education. When she finally moves to Oak Ridge, she has to figure out her place in a world very different from Chicago. Will being Jewish be something to overcome? Will her husband's lack of education stop him from advancing? Will Doris figure out her role as wife and mother? What will she do when romance comes knocking - and not from her husband? I was excited to learn this story is based loosely on Leslie's parents, which gives an emotional edge to the characters - and you know how I love a good character! This is a must-read book that will give you an insider's look at The Manhattan Project and how it affected not just the scientists, but all who lived and worked in Oak Ridge.

In this episode I sit down with Shira Lazar — media entrepreneur, founder of What's Trending, and a pioneer of the creator economy — to explore what life really looks like behind the screen.We talk about Shira's journey from traditional media to building a career online before “personal brand” was even part of the conversation, and how the creator economy has evolved into a space filled with both opportunity and pressure. Together, we unpack why creator mental health is struggling, how burnout, comparison culture, and unclear boundaries take a toll, and what creators need to protect their well-being while building something meaningful.This conversation is about redefining success beyond metrics, learning to set boundaries with platforms and brands, and finding joy, presence, and endorphins in the midst of creating online.

Eighteen-year-old Anna Kepner didn't just die on a cruise ship — she was killed. Her death certificate now confirms “mechanical asphyxia by another person(s),” with the manner officially ruled a homicide. Tonight, I break down the timeline of exactly what happened on the Carnival Horizon, how the evidence lines up, and why investigators are closing in on one specific window of time — and one specific person. In this deep-dive monologue, we cut through the noise, the family drama, the online chaos, and the TikTok meltdowns to focus on what the evidence actually says. Anna was placed in a cabin with a 16-year-old stepsibling she reportedly feared. Hours later, she was dead — wrapped, hidden under a bed, and covered with life jackets. This isn't speculation. This isn't rumor. This is the documented reality of the case. We walk through the decisions that led up to that night, the ignored red flags, the emotional collapse of the main suspect, the forensic truth of mechanical asphyxia, and the concealment behavior that tells investigators more than any interview ever could. This is the timeline as it stands now — what we know happened inside that cabin, how investigators are reconstructing the moments leading up to Anna's death, and why this case is tighter than the public realizes. Anna fought for her life. The evidence shows it. And soon, the truth will too.

Tonight, I break down the timeline of exactly what happened on the Carnival Horizon, how the evidence lines up, and why investigators are closing in on one specific window of time — and one specific person. In this deep-dive monologue, we cut through the noise, the family drama, the online chaos, and the TikTok meltdowns to focus on what the evidence actually says. Anna was placed in a cabin with a 16-year-old stepsibling she reportedly feared. Hours later, she was dead — wrapped, hidden under a bed, and covered with life jackets. This isn't speculation. This isn't rumor. This is the documented reality of the case. We walk through the decisions that led up to that night, the ignored red flags, the emotional collapse of the main suspect, the forensic truth of mechanical asphyxia, and the concealment behavior that tells investigators more than any interview ever could. This is the timeline as it stands now — what we know happened inside that cabin, how investigators are reconstructing the moments leading up to Anna's death, and why this case is tighter than the public realizes. Anna fought for her life. The evidence shows it. And soon, the truth will too.

Brent's making good his promise to take us on a tour of his new Stor-Mor studio. While the building itself is enough to talk about, in this episode he shifts the focus to the contents. The items inside are more than mere decorations, they're mementos representing people and places that he holds dear. After he tells the story of his first attempt at having a place of his own, he enlightens us with his description of his new one.
