We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 20 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are diehard New York Islanders fans, but Justin (Bolts fan) likes to remind us that we are #notanislespodcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey.

This moment... this New Year... disturbs many. I want to share a disturbing moment from my autistic youth—and how I survived it. It weirdly relates to right now.At 70-something, this is the happiest time of my autistic life. Not chasing distant goals—just breathing in this fabulous moment here.This piece inverts Yeats' “Second Coming” to tell a personal story about my grandfather, sailing out to Montauk Point, and discovering that the anxiety of losing sight of shore gives way to something unexpected.Content Note: This piece addresses troubling family history and inherited complexity.My grandfather was a complex man who kept Mein Kampf in his nightstand. And who also took me sailing. Out on the water to Montauk Point, I'd experience overwhelming anxiety as we lost sight of shore. Just sky, waves, constant rolling. Disoriented, like a whiteout in a blizzard.But after an hour or so, I'd make my way to the prow. Wind on my face. Sun on my body. Salt breeze filling my chest. Quieting my heart.Who cares about sailing toward Montauk and its fabulous trees anymore? I'm busy breathing in this fabulous moment here.Thanks for reading #AutisticAF Out Loud Newsletter!

Putnam has highest rate in state A surge in flu cases has propelled New York State to a one-week record and sent infections and hospitalizations in Dutchess and Putnam counties to their highest levels in at least two years. Cases reported by testing labs and hospitals reached 71,123 statewide for the week ending Dec. 20, the most recent data available, raising the tally of the achy and the sniffling by 38 percent over the previous seven days and the most in one week since New York made flu cases reportable in 2004. According to James McDonald, the state's health commissioner, hospitalized patients rose over the previous week by 63 percent to 3,666 - 36 percent of them 75 and older and 18 percent between 65 and 74. Hospitals and nursing homes in New York have also been experiencing outbreaks this flu season, which annually runs from October to May. More cases are being reported due to heightened testing, McDonald said in a statement, "but this record number underscores that this season is impacting more people than in other recent years." His department's data shows that 24 percent of state residents, including 22 percent in Dutchess and 24 percent in Putnam, have received a flu vaccine. "There are simple steps New Yorkers can take to protect themselves and those around them, including getting vaccinated, staying home when sick and practicing everyday preventive measures," he said. Rian Rodriguez, Putnam's public health director, offered the same advice. He said on Dec. 24 that Putnam's rate of 918 flu cases per 100,000 residents topped the state and was 61 percent higher than Nassau County on Long Island. Both the 903 flu cases in Putnam and the 1,276 reported in Dutchess (nearly three times higher than the previous week) for the week ending Dec. 20 were the highest seven-day totals since at least October 2023, according to state data. Both counties also have more hospitalizations this flu season - 13 in Putnam and 98 in Dutchess - than at the same points in 2023 and 2024. Hospitalizations increased from 31 to 47 in Dutchess and from one to nine in Putnam over the previous week. A county-produced heat map (putnamcountyny.gov/respdash) based on ZIP code data shows Carmel with the highest rate in Putnam for the week ending Dec. 20, with the rate in 10524 (Garrison/Philipstown) higher than in 10516 (Cold Spring/Philipstown). Children are the most vulnerable to the flu, followed by older adults, Rodriguez said. Pregnant women and people with chronic medical conditions such as heart or lung disease, asthma and diabetes are also at risk of serious complications. In addition, cases from Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and COVID-19 are rising, although their numbers are dwarfed by the flu. Statewide, there were 4,904 reported cases of RSV for the week ending Dec. 20, an increase of 25 percent from the previous week. The number of people with COVID rose 3 percent, to 4,255. On Dec. 26, the most recent reporting day, the state health department reported two positive COVID tests in Dutchess and five in Putnam.

This is our final episode of the year on Open Book, and I wanted to slow things down for a moment and take stock of what we've built together. Over the past year, we sat down with extraordinary authors, historians, thinkers, and storytellers—people who spent years wrestling with ideas so we could absorb them in hours. This episode is a reflection on those conversations, the books that shaped them, and why reading remains one of the highest-return investments you can make in your own life.

Episode 170 DNA ID Replay Eve Wilkowitz While Jess is on winter break preparing new episodes of DNA ID for 2026, we are airing some of our favorite one part episodes weekly in  what we call 'DNA ID Replay' episodes. These Replay episodes will air every week while on break with the exception of Christmas week. In this episode, we explore the case of Eve Wilkowitz which originally aired in episode 72. 20 year old Eve Wilkowitz's life was all coming together during the first few days of spring, 1980. She had a job she loved and a new boyfriend. Her daily commute into Manhattan from Bay Shore, Long Island was long, but Eve had plans to move into the city. Someone took all that away from her. After boarding the last LIRR train from the city to Long Island, Eve vanished. Her loved ones were frantic for three days, and their worst fears came true when she turned up dead in the backyard of a nearby home. Police turned her complicated love life upside down, and left no stone unturned. Their theory that Eve's abductor and murderer was a neighbor was correct – but they would not know that for decades to come.   This week's episode is sponsored by Masterclass. MasterClass is the streaming platform that makes it possible for anyone to watch or listen to hundreds of video lessons taught by 200+ of the world's best.

Send us a textWhat happens when you swap the cola in a Long Island for Sprite, cranberry, cinnamon, and a kiss of citrus—and then hand New Year's resolutions to Disney legends? We kick off with a winter spiced Long Island inspired by Jollywood Nights, breaking down the build, the balance, and the subtle orange-cranberry glow that makes this riff dangerously sippable. Think classic structure, brighter finish, and a candied orange wheel that smells like December.With glasses clinking, we pivot into a resolution game that's equal parts nostalgia and honesty. Donald promises calm and barely survives the countdown. Ariel tackles her treasure trove with help. Belle tries fewer pages, more people. Cinderella sets her own curfew. Tiana wrestles with “healthy” in the land of gumbo. We go deeper than punchlines, exploring why some characters are primed to evolve and why others are hilariously doomed by design. Captain Hook finds peace and opens an island bar. Jack Sparrow plans to plan, then doesn't. Buzz meets gravity. Pumba embraces accountability. Scar swears off dramatic monologues—and immediately proves our point.Along the way, we rank recent holiday pours, daydream about park trips, and admit we need to level up our promos and episode lists. It's playful, a little dark around the edges, and surprisingly reflective about habit change, identity, and the rituals that help us try again. If you love Disney lore, themed cocktails, and character-driven what-ifs, you'll feel right at home.Pour the recipe, press play, and tell us which character would actually keep a resolution this year. If you enjoyed the ride, subscribe, leave a rating, and share this episode with a Disney friend who needs a laugh and a holiday sip. Cheers!

Episode 218 finds me recording the podcast home alone the day after Christmas because Megs is stuck on Long Island thanks to an ice storm, which leaves me, my dog, four vodka shots, and a microphone to unpack everything wrong with adulthood, holidays, politics, the internet, and money. I talk about why I am officially done opening gifts forever, why grown adults do not need Funko Pops or graphic tees, and why the only acceptable Christmas loopholes involve cash or household gifts Megs opens for both of us. I explain how family gatherings improve dramatically when you time edibles correctly, how the stress drops, the noise fades, and life feels manageable again. From there I break down Nicki Minaj taking a massive paycheck to headline Turning Point USA, flipping on years of public positions, praising politicians her audience opposes, ignoring the fact she cannot vote, and why the entire event felt calculated, uncomfortable, and hollow. I react to Joe Budden's response, the internet fallout, and why this move damaged trust across culture and fandom. I then roast the AI Christmas photo trend, the sparkly romper epidemic, bad prompts, lazy re-renders, and why most people do not resemble their AI alter ego despite pretending otherwise. I shut down the viral environmental panic posts about AI destroying the planet, explain why the water usage claims are misleading, and point out industries quietly doing far more damage while everyone yells at computers. I close by breaking down Logan Paul's Liquid Marketplace mess, the fractional ownership of the PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator card, how money flowed in, payouts never landed, accountability disappeared, and why this situation looks like CryptoZoo with better branding and the same outcome. This episode is a full post-Christmas spiral covering family, money, internet delusion, celebrity hypocrisy, and why none of this should surprise anyone anymore.**********Disclaimer: We at the What are We Doing podcast want to make it clear that the views and opinions expressed in this video belong solely to the speakers or authors and do not represent the views and opinions held by YouTube, its partners, or its owners.We must also emphasize that the information contained in this video has been produced with no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding the validity, accuracy, reliability, completeness, legality, or usefulness of what is said or expressed.

Min 2: ANACONDA (3 estrellas) Anaconda, dirigida por Tom Gormican (El talento de Mr. C), es una comedia metacinematográfica que toma el título del clásico de terror noventero como excusa para construir una sátira deslenguada sobre Hollywood, la nostalgia y la absurda maquinaria del remake. Protagonizada por Paul Rudd y Jack Black, la película sigue a dos profesionales en horas bajas que aceptan participar en una delirante reimaginación de Anaconda, convencidos de que puede ser su última oportunidad para volver a estar en el mapa. Min 10: BOB ESPONJA: AVENTURA PIRATA (3 estrellas) Bob Esponja: Aventura Pirata, dirigida por Derek Drymon (veterano creativo del universo Bob Esponja desde sus orígenes televisivos), devuelve al personaje al largometraje con una aventura de gran escala que recupera el espíritu gamberro y surrealista que lo convirtió en icono generacional. Con las voces originales encabezadas por Tom Kenny, junto a Bill Fagerbakke, Rodger Bumpass y Clancy Brown, la película sitúa a Bob y sus inseparables amigos en una travesía marítima marcada por mapas imposibles, piratas extravagantes y una amenaza que pone en jaque el equilibrio de Fondo de Bikini. Min 15: FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER (4 estrellas) 'Father Mother Sister Brother', escrita y dirigida por Jim Jarmusch (Paterson, Only Lovers Left Alive), es una obra episódica, minimalista y profundamente humana que articula tres historias independientes unidas por los vínculos familiares, la soledad y el paso del tiempo. Protagonizada por un reparto coral que incluye a Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, Tom Waits, Mayim Bialik y Charlotte Rampling, la película se despliega en distintos lugares y tonos, manteniendo siempre el pulso contemplativo y el humor seco característico del cineasta. Jarmusch observa a sus personajes con distancia afectuosa, dejando que los silencios, los gestos mínimos y las conversaciones aparentemente intrascendentes revelen heridas emocionales y tensiones soterradas entre padres, madres, hermanos y hermanas que apenas saben comunicarse. Min 21: HOMO ARGENTUM (3 estrellas) Homo Argentum, dirigida por Mariano Cohn y Gastón Duprat (El ciudadano ilustre, Competencia oficial), es una sátira feroz y elegante que radiografía, a través del humor incómodo, las contradicciones morales y sociales de la Argentina contemporánea. Protagonizada por un camaleónico Guillermo Francella, la película se articula en episodios autónomos que retratan a distintos personajes unidos por una misma pulsión: el individualismo extremo, la picaresca elevada a norma y la supervivencia como único código ético. Cohn y Duprat utilizan el formato fragmentado para multiplicar puntos de vista y situaciones, construyendo un espejo deformante en el que la risa nace del reconocimiento y la incomodidad. Min 28: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON ROBERTO LANCHA A las puertas del nuevo año, casi sobre la campana, llega el turno de conocer la confesión cinéfila del director de Estamos de Cine. El periodista de Radio Castilla-La Mancha y crítico especializado, Roberto Lancha, desvela en pleno Filtro Liuchini por qué "El Padrino 1 y 2", entendidas como un todo, es el título que marcó su adoelscencia y, por extensión, su amor por el cine y por la comunicación vinculada al Séptimo Arte. Min 38: BSO ESPECIAL BSO EL PADRINO Y dado que la elección del director de Estamos de Cine enlaza con una de las bandas sonoras más celebradas de la historia del cine, la cita con Ángel Luque en la finca familiar de Los Corleone -en un entorno privilegiado de Long Island- se convierte en todo un homenaje musical a una de las mejores películas de todos los tiempos.

Lee Hacksaw Hamilton shares his “Hacksaw History” highlighting his career from Long Island to Ohio University, upstate New York, Cleveland, Phoenix and San Diego. We discussed Lee's early days doing play-by-play in minor league hockey, minor league baseball, and as a TV journalist. Then it was on to Cleveland to broadcast big time WHL pro hockey, a competitor with the NHL at that time. Then on to Phoenix KTAR where he lit the Valley of Sun on fire. In the late 1980s, San Diego called and invited Lee to be the play-by-play voice of the San Diego Chargers and also to host a sports talk show on XTRA 690. That sports talk show was the very beginning of an innovative all sports talk radio station that featured many names including Jim Rome, Steve Hartman, Chet Forte, Coach John Kentera, Billy Ray Smith, Scott Kaplan, Philly Billy Werndl, Jim Laslavic, Pat Curran and many more. This episode was originally aired as part of the John Riley Project on July 20, 2022. The History of Sports Talk Radio Lee shared his Long Island roots and the start of his radio news/DJ career in his college days on a radio station in Appalachia.  After a great run broadcasting pro hockey in Cleveland, he took his talents to the desert to announce Arizona State football and basketball. Hacksaw also hosted a sports talk show on KTAR in Phoenix shocking the locals with critical comments of ASU's football suspension, the Suns getting blown out in the first round of the 1981 NBA playoffs, and the ineptitude of Bowie Kuhn during the 1981 MLB strike. This was the start of the “Best 15 Minutes in Radio.” This was the start of “Putting Topics on the Table.”  “React!”  Lee was determined to grab his listeners by the throat and hold them for 4 hours of compelling sports talk radio. Hacksaw's reputation in Arizona led to a 1986 phone call from the Noble Broadcast Group in San Diego to be the San Diego Chargers play by play guy and start a sports talk show on the Mighty 690.  At the time the station was broadcasting rock n roll and Wolfman Jack. Little did they know that things were going to radically change in the next few years. Lee was the only sports guy in the entire station, and he started with a blank slate.  How in the hell was he going to pull this off? He started by creating a 9-hour NFL Sunday broadcast with a 2-hour Countdown to Kickoff pre-game show, the live game, and then a post-game show with caller participation.   The Mighty 690 Sports Talk Radio Meanwhile, every afternoon drivetime Hacksaw hosted his talk radio show using many of his provocative techniques to drive listenership. Lee was a sensation bringing sports facts, stats, and opinions in the late 1980s. He was the internet before the internet was a thing. After a brief transition to sports and news talk, the station went 100% sports starting in 1989. The Mighty 690 was the 3rd radio station in America to go all sports, and the first on the west coast. 690 had a “blowtorch signal” that carried Lee's show from “Baja to the Canadian Rockies” As 690 went all sports, many new voices took the microphone to create a wide variety of opinions and styles on sports talk: Jim Rome came on board to start his Scrub Saturday show. He later got the night shift right after Hacksaw's show, working on developing his style, his smack, and his clones. Rome later went on to national fame, but did you know Hacksaw was first offered the national gig prior to Rome but he turned it down. Steve Hartman joins the station and with Lee's recommendation he was paired up with former Monday Night Football producer Chet Forte.  Two loudmouth guys: one young, one old, one west coast, one east coast.  It was perfect. Steve Mason and John Ireland took on the morning show and later saw their careers take them to new places. Scott Kaplan and Billy Ray Smith joined the station creating a strong show and a loyal listening audience of Great Friends. The Coach John Kentera joins the station sharing his wealth of knowledge of local high school sports, plus offering his commentary on the San Diego pro and collegiate sports teams.   San Diego Chargers: I root for Herbert to Win, but Spanos to Lose As a long time voice of the San Diego Chargers play-by-play, and as an NFL junkie, Hacksaw was right at home broadcasting the Chargers every Sunday. We retrace some of the magical moments of the Chargers Super Bowl season including stories about Bobby Ross, Stan Humphries, Stan Brock, Tony Martin, Dennis Gibson, and the playoff run against the Dolphins in Steelers. We reminisce about the good vibes as both the team and the community both came together in a very special way. After the 1997 season The Mighty 690 lost its broadcast rights to the team, breaking promises made to the station and to Lee personally to stay on as the play-by-play guy.  Hacksaw was very disappointed with the decision, but he bounced back and was the play-by-play guy for the Seattle Seahawks for 3 seasons. So, how does Hacksaw feel about the Chargers now? He says he wants the kid quarterback Justin Herbert to go 17-0 and the owner Dean Spanos to go 0-17.   San Diego State Aztecs and the PAC-12 In the podcast episode we get into the new Snapdragon Stadium, Lee's disappointment that the Soccer City proposal did not win thus guaranteeing an NFL stadium option, and the possibilities of the Aztecs joining the PAC-12.   Could this be the start of a new podcast platform for Lee Hacksaw Hamilton?  “Agree or disagree?”  “I want to talk sports with you!”   #Hacksaw #LeeHamilton #Mighty690 #Chargers #sportsmedia #sportstalk #xtra690 #jimrome #chetforte #scottkaplan #billyraysmith #billwerndl #stevehartman #johnkentera #johnlynch   Be sure to share this episode with a friend! ☆☆ STAY CONNECTED ☆☆ For more of Hacksaw's Headlines, The Best 15 Minutes, One Man's Opinion, and Hacksaw's Pro Football Notebook: http://www.leehacksawhamilton.com/ SUBSCRIBE on YouTube for more reactions, upcoming shows and more! ► https://www.youtube.com/c/leehacksawhamiltonsports FACEBOOK ➡ https://www.facebook.com/leehacksaw.hamilton.9 TWITTER ➡ https://twitter.com/hacksaw1090 TIKTOK ➡ https://www.tiktok.com/@leehacksawhamilton INSTAGRAM ➡ https://www.instagram.com/leehacksawhamiltonsports/ To get the latest news and information about sports, join Hacksaw's Insider's Group.

Starlink satellites that are part of its Starshield Program are being used to secretly block radio signals from 3I/Atlas, according to Dr. Stewart Swerdlow who has received a series of briefing by a high-level NASA official. He says March 16, 2026 will be an important date when 3I/Atlas is at its closest approach to Jupiter. According to Dr. Swerdlow, Russia and Ukraine will sign a peace agreement on January 15, and this will be a key event in the formation of American, Russian and Chinese superstates. He says that all extraterrestrials have their own agendas and cannot be trusted despite them spanning the spectrum from negative to positive. Dr. Swerdlow was among the initial group of child participants that was involuntarily recruited into the Montauk Project that ran from 1970 to 1983 at the northeast end of Long Island, New York. Beginning at 13 years of age, he underwent time travel and portal experiments that abused up to 300,000 children and adults, only a few of whom survived.Dr. Stewart Swerdlow's website is: https://www.expansions.com/about-us/Join Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

In 1961, George Carroll, a 30-year-old U.S. Army veteran and father of six, vanished without a trace from his family's Long Island home on Olive Street, leaving behind a wife and young children, including his eight-month-old son Michael. For decades, the Carroll children were told their father had abandoned them, but unanswered questions lingered as the family endured years of silence, abuse, and buried secrets after their mother, Dorothy Carroll, remarried the family's handyman, Richard Darress. Driven by a lifelong search for truth, Michael Carroll eventually bought the family home and, alongside his sister Jean, pursued answers through neighbors, rumors, and even psychics—until a chilling revelation led Michael's sons, Mike Carroll Jr. and Chris Carroll, to dig beneath the basement floor in 2018. Six feet below the house, they uncovered human remains later confirmed to be George Carroll's, transforming a decades-old disappearance into an active homicide investigation. Kate is joined by director Patricia Gillespie, and Mike Carroll Jr. and Chris Carroll.

Judd Apatow didn't realize it at the time, but as a young teenager growing up on Long Island in the ‘70s, he was inventing the comedy podcast by doing the first-ever long-form radio interviews with his stand-up heroes. So it's only fitting that he's the last guest ever on The Last Laugh podcast. In his fourth and final appearance on the show—taped before the tragic deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele—Apatow reflects on his early experiences as a proto-comedy podcaster and explains the “lifelong obsession” that inspired his new book, ‘Comedy Nerd.' (Proceeds benefit the youth writing charity 826 and the Los Angeles wildfire relief organization Fire Aid.) The writer, director, and producer also discusses the state of the studio comedy in 2025, and how some of his most beloved films and TV shows took years to find their audiences. And ahead of his definitive two-part documentary about Mel Brooks coming to HBO in the new year, Apatow breaks down the power of satire to hold the powerful to account. This year, nobody did that better than ‘South Park' creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. And Apatow has a theory for why Donald Trump has stayed conspicuously silent about their humiliating portrayal of him.Stay tuned to this feed for the premiere of Obsessed: The Podcast, coming in January from the Daily Beast.

TV and Movie Reviews to Listen to Around the Yule Log This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl talk about a couple movies the saw this week in individual mini-reviews (Avatar: Fire & Ash and The Housemaid). Then breakdown season 2 episode 1 of Fallout. Then give a review of HIM. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Avatar: Fire and Ash: 12:35 The Housemaid: 25:05 Fallout: 34:18 HIM: 49:41 Avatar: FIre and Ash (2025) Rating Out 10 It’s the Third Movie and It’s Fine… it’s Fine Darryl: 6.2/10 Summary Avatar: Fire and Ash expands the world of Pandora by pushing the story into darker, more volatile territory. This chapter introduces a new Na'vi culture shaped not by water or forest, but by fire, ash, and survival in a brutal volcanic region of the moon. These clans challenge everything Jake Sully and Neytiri believe about what it means to live in balance with Pandora. As tensions rise between Na'vi factions and the ever-encroaching human presence, the film shifts from a clear-cut nature-vs-invaders narrative into something far more morally complex. Fire and Ash explores how trauma, rage, and vengeance can fracture even the most deeply spiritual societies, forcing characters to confront uncomfortable truths about leadership, legacy, and the cost of endless war. Visually, the film leans hard into contrast. Lush blues and greens give way to scorched landscapes, molten rock, and smoke-filled skies, creating a harsher, angrier version of Pandora that mirrors the emotional state of its characters. At its core, Fire and Ash is about consequence. Not just for humanity's actions, but for the choices the Na'vi themselves make when survival demands brutality. This entry reframes the Avatar saga as less of a mythic adventure and more of a generational reckoning, setting the stage for a future where Pandora's greatest threat may no longer come from the stars, but from within. The Housemaid (2025) Rating Out of 10 The Dad Who Rocks the Cradle Brian: 6.5/10 Summary The Housemaid is a 2025 American psychological thriller directed by Paul Feig, adapted from Freida McFadden's bestselling 2022 novel. It stars Sydney Sweeney as Millie Calloway, a troubled young woman recently released on probation who desperately needs steady work. When she lands a live-in housemaid job with the wealthy Winchester family on Long Island, things initially seem like a fresh start. But behind the manicured lawns and spacious rooms, the Winchesters' life is anything but perfect. Millie soon discovers that Nina Winchester (Amanda Seyfried) is temperamental and volatile, her daughter Cecilia is cold and disrespectful, and unsettling secrets lurk beneath the surface of this elite household. As Millie becomes more entangled in their lives, the film steadily shifts from domestic drama to a gripping, twist-heavy thriller where trust is scarce and danger hides in plain sight. The tension escalates when Millie realizes that the family dynamics are far darker than she suspected, leading to shocking betrayals and a violent confrontation that upends everything the audience thought they knew. The Housemaid blends suspense, psychological games, and interpersonal manipulation in a holiday season release that delivers both unpredictable twists and intense character play. Fallout (Amazon Prime) Season 2 Episode 1 Title: The Innovator Directed by: Frederick E. O. Toye Written by: Geneva Robertson-Dworet & Graham Wagner Date Aired: December 16, 2025 Summary In 2077, before the war, a man supportive of Robert House, CEO of RobCo Industries, implants a control chip in a bar patron, forcing him to murder his companions before the chip detonates. After uncovering Vault-Tec’s secret plans, actor Cooper Howard attempts to flee with his daughter Janey, but Lee Moldaver convinces him to stay and spy on his wife Barb, who is traveling to Las Vegas to meet House. In 2296, Lucy MacLean and the Ghoul kill a group of Great Khans while tracking Lucy’s father, Hank, which leads them to the abandoned Vault 24, where they discover a Vault-Tec experiment using chips for brainwashing; a man with a chip implanted briefly speaks to Lucy before the chip explodes. Trapped in Vault 31, Norm, without food or water, awakens cryogenically preserved Vault-Tec executives. In Vault 32, Overseer Steph struggles with leadership, while in Vault 33, Overseer Betty supervises repairs to the water chip. Meanwhile, Hank arrives at an abandoned Vault-tec facility and leaves a message for an unknown figure that he will finish his project. Rating Out of 5 Exploding Heads for Everyone Darryl: 3.35/5 Brian: 3.2/5 HIM (2025) Summary HIM is a psychological horror film that uses the world of elite sports to explore obsession, identity, and the dangerous cost of chasing greatness. The story follows a promising young football player whose talent earns him access to a rare and secretive mentorship under a legendary athlete. What begins as an opportunity of a lifetime slowly reveals itself to be something far more disturbing. As the mentorship deepens, the film peels back the glossy surface of fame and success, exposing a culture that treats athletes as assets rather than people. Training pushes beyond discipline into control, blurring the line between motivation and manipulation. The closer the protagonist gets to his dream, the more he begins to lose his sense of self. Rather than relying on jump scares, HIM builds dread through atmosphere and psychological pressure. The horror comes from systems, power dynamics, and the unspoken expectation that personal sacrifice is the price of excellence. The film questions how far someone is willing to go to be “chosen” and what parts of themselves they are expected to surrender along the way. At its core, HIM is a cautionary tale about hero worship and the myth of meritocracy, wrapped in a slow-burn horror framework. It leaves the audience unsettled not by monsters, but by the realization that the most terrifying forces are often the ones we willingly submit to in the pursuit of success.

On Friday, May 8th, 1981, nineteen year old Long Island native Tammy Mahoney left her Oneida, New York apartment to visit friends twenty miles away in the town of Hamilton.  She never arrived and her case was investigated as that of a missing person.Twenty years later, in May of 2001, law enforcement officials announced that witnesses had come forward stating that on the night of her disappearance, Tammy was taken to a remote area, assaulted and ultimately murdered by a small group of men.  To date, none of them have ever been charged or even named as witnesses are too afraid to testify.Her family desperately hopes for justice and the chance to bring Tammy home where she may be laid to rest beside her parents.  There are people who know the truth, but until they come forward, the case remains in limbo.Justice for Tammy Mahoney Facebook PageFollowTEPod.comClick here to Submit a Question for the Trace Evidence Q&A episodeFollow Trace Evidence on Social MediaTwitter --- Instagram --- TikTok --- YouTube --- Like Facebook Page --- Join Facebook Group --- Threads --- Like MeWe Page --- Join MeWe Group --- BlueskySuppport Trace EvidencePatreon --- Paypal --- Cash App --- Buy Me A CoffeeTrace Evidence Merch ShopsTeePublic --- ShopTEPod --- SpreadshopAll Other LinksOfficial Trace Evidence Website --- LinkTreeMusic Courtesy of:"Lost Time"  Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Echoes of Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/#truecrimepodcast #unsolvedmysteries #coldcase #coldcaseinvestigation #murder #murdermystery #missingperson #missingpersons #truecrimecommunity #mysterypodcast #truecrime #coldcasefiles #truecrimestories #crimelovers #truecrimeaddict #truecrimejunkie #crimescene #justiceforall #missing #crimesquad #podcastcommunity #sleuthsunite #darkhistories #criminalmindset #detective #detectivediaries #forensics #forensicfiles #crimestories #crimepodcast #traceevidence #traceevidencepodcast #criminalinvestigation #justiceforvictims #detectivework #truecrimediscussion #podcastfamily #listenandsolve #crimefans #listentotraceevidence #uncoverthetruth #podcastrecommendations #podcastlove #podcastlife #truecrimeobsessed #followtheclues #cluefinders #podcastaddict #unsolvedmurders #unsolveddisappearances #detectiveatheart #jointheinvestigation #disappearance #vanishing #abduction #gonemissing #upandvanished #pacheco #stevenpacheco #podcasting #crimetalk #crimeanalysis #theories #tammymahoney #longisland #oneida #newyork #upstate #oneidanationBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.

www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast  listen without ads!This week on Dopey! A heavy, emotional holiday episode of Dopey that moves between chaos, grief, recovery, dark humor, and connection. Dave opens with a raw, chaotic song about cocaine, crack, and wanting relief, then sets the tone for a brutal week shaped by multiple tragedies — including the shocking deaths of Rob and Michelle Reiner and the arrest of their son Nick Reiner, a former Dopey guest.The episode includes sponsor reads, listener Christmas messages, and reflections on sticking together in recovery when the world feels overwhelming. Dave reads Spotify comments, emails, and shares messages from the Dopey Nation, emphasizing connection, gratitude, and community during the holidays.The centerpiece is a long, candid interview with Alec Baldwin, recorded just before Thanksgiving. Alec discusses growing up on Long Island, early drinking and cocaine use, working in New York television, moving to Los Angeles, fame, excess, driving intoxicated, overdosing in a hotel room in Oregon, and ultimately getting sober in 1985. He describes how AA became his entire social world, how spirituality helped keep him sober, and how his faith and family carried him through later life crises — including public scrutiny, divorce, legal battles, and depression. Alec speaks openly about wanting to “just not kill myself tomorrow” during his darkest moments and how sobriety principles guided him through.After the interview, Dave plays more holiday messages from the Dopey Nation and then has a long, emotional phone call with his father, Alan Manheim. They process the Nick Reiner tragedy, public backlash, antisemitic comments, criticism of old Dopey clips resurfacing online, and the strange irony of Dopey being thrust into the media spotlight through tragedy. They discuss parenting addicts, mental illness, fame, synchronicity, and how Dopey interviews became central to news coverage. The episode closes with reflections on resilience, staying connected, asking for help, and honoring Chris, followed by Dave playing his song “Good So Bad.”SEO / SEARCHABLE KEYWORDS (CUT & PASTE)  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
