This week on the Deadpod, we've got the second set from the Grateful Dead's Mardi Gras show on March 3rd, 1987. After the parade winds through, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band joins the boys for a loose and funky "Iko Iko." It takes a minute for everyone to sync up, but it's all part of the fun — you can feel how much they're enjoying themselves. The set really kicks into gear with "Saint of Circumstance," followed by a gorgeous "Terrapin Station." Out of "Drums" and "Space," the band fires up "Gimme Some Lovin'," then slides into a sweet "Wharf Rat," "Throwin' Stones," and a big "Touch of Grey" to close things out. Jerry trips up on a line during the "Brokedown Palace" encore, but the crowd — and the band — help him along. It's one of those perfectly human Dead moments that make this show fun to hear.

Welcome to a brand new episode of Casual Conversation, where we break down one of the most chaotic weeks in recent pop culture and news history! The FAFO energy is at an all-time high, and we are unpacking all the madness.In this episode, we cover:

In February 2006, a newly married 29-year-old man is walking home from a Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans when a black truck nearly strikes him and his wife. One block later, the truck circles back, runs him down, and flees, leaving his wife screaming in the intersection. Detectives call it a deliberate burst of road rage. But as weeks turn into months, the homicide investigation loses momentum. Years pass without an arrest, and his family is left questioning whether the urgency this case deserved was ever truly there. In episode 394, Jac and Alexis examine the unsolved murder of Toby Beaugh, and the years-long fight his sister has taken on to keep his case from being forgotten.

It really brought the haters out of the woodwork when I used to say that women shouldn't put their lives on hold for motherhood. Now that this crisis has tested everything, I'm reflecting on how that philosophy stood up.    Also, I share: -- Shia LaBeouf's iconic interview after his Mardi Gras arrest. -- The TV show I picked to watch with Lane that was the worse choice ever.   Watch this episode on Youtube, and follow my channel while you're there!    Connect with Jen: --- PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/thisisjen --- EMAIL LIST: https://mailchi.mp/fulwiler/jenslist --- TOUR: https://www.jenniferfulwiler.com/tour   BIO: Jen Fulwiler is a mom with zero domestic skills. Her natural habitat is a martini bar in Manhattan, yet she finds herself raising a family in suburban Texas with her country-boy husband who thinks his inflatable hot tub is the summit of the human experience. Her stories of failing her way through life will resonate with anyone who doesn't have it all together.  Jen is a viral standup comic, bestselling author, and former SiriusXM radio host who has released three comedy specials: The Naughty Corner, Maternal Instinct, and Shabby Chic.

Storytellers: Caroline Connolly spends a summer with her grandmother, "the ultimate Cuban matriarch." Stacy Sullivan gains a new appreciation for her father.  Marques Celestine contends that Mardi Gras has "never been as much about the what, but the who with."

It's Mardi Gras, the perfect time to final clean up the Mikaelson compound and host a party that has an ulterior motive! Marcel is listed as the co-host despite being in the dungeon - luckily, at least Josh could put 2 and 2 together and figure that out. Marcel's other ally, Sofya, isn't quite so effective - she leaves the party with no weapons, no Marcel and no leverage, despite being motivated by classic Klaus hate! Elijah and Vincent use the party to locate (and kill) The Hollow's newest lead acolyte, through the magic of tarot. Across town, Hayley and Freya uncover a huge clue, courtesy of the Labonairs. Lastly, and most importantly, there is a LOT of Freelin buzz!!Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

Hollywood has never been short on what their idea of a redemption story is. But sometimes those stories unfold in ways that leave people both inspired and confused. Recently, Shia LaBeouf made headlines once again after being arrested in New Orleans following an alleged altercation during the Mardi Gras festivities. Just days later, he was back in the spotlight for a very different reason. Speaking openly about his Catholic faith, his views on Jesus, and his desire to live as what he wants to call a quote, traditional Catholic. In the interview following the arrest, the buff became emotional when talking about Christ and his spiritual life, even reflecting on what he would say if he was to meet Jesus face to face. While some Catholics are encouraged to see a celebrity boldly talking about their faith, others struggle with the tension of seeing someone go from a night in jail to a public expression of devotion almost overnight. So what we want to discuss is what it means when someone claims to have faith but also continues to stumble publicly. How should Christians respond? And what does genuine repentance actually look like in a world where every mistake and every confession plays out in front of millions.

667. Part 2 of our conversation with Kathleen Kass Byrd about her book on the history of Natchitoches. "Kathleen M. Byrd's Natchitoches, Louisiana, 1803–1840 is an examination of one French Creole community as it transitioned from a fur-trading and agricultural settlement under the control of Spain to a critical American outpost on the Spanish/American frontier and finally to a commercial hub and jumping-off point for those heading west. Byrd focuses on historic events in the area and the long-term French Creole residents as they adapted to the American presence. She also examines the effect of the arrival of the Americans, with their Indian trading house and Indian agency, on Native groups and considers how members of the enslaved population took advantage of opportunities for escape presented by a new international border. Byrd shows how the arrival of Americans forever changed Natchitoches, transforming it from a sleepy frontier settlement into a regional commercial center and staging point for pioneers heading into Texas" (LSU Pr.). Kathleen M. Byrd (nicknamed Kass) is a distinguished anthropologist, archaeologist, and historian specializing in the history and prehistory of Louisiana, particularly the Natchitoches region. A native of Connecticut, she earned her B.A. from Marquette University, an M.A. from LSU (focusing on coastal subsistence patterns), and a Ph.D. from the University of Florida. She served as Louisiana's state archaeologist for 15 years before joining Northwestern State University (NSU) in Natchitoches in 1994, where she later became director of the School of Social Sciences for 12 years until her retirement.  Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

Incapable of fearing anything, he was sufficient unto himself and he'd known that from the first day he'd opened his eyes and looked around the shed. There was not and never would be a situation with which he could not cope or a foe from whom he would run in panic. His self-confidence was almost as vast as his curiosity. He would stand alone, or with kindred spirits. Never would he place himself at the mercy of, or pay homage to, one who was not kindred.     He liked the woman. She was unfailingly kind and gentle. She knew exactly how to pet him and she ' a small point ' brought his food. But he would not, as the gray kittens did, unbend so far as to met her at the door. She was not his superior.

Feb 16, 2026: Why Infrastructure is the Real Winner in the Age of AIWarren Buffett is widely credited with characterizing competitive advantages as moats that companies will aggressively build and will vigorously defend to protect themselves from attacks by others.The software industry has been a popular sector for investors in recent years due to its outsized growth rates and its ability to quickly iterate.Yet the barriers to entry are low here, and it's been difficult for software companies to build sustainable moats.That's perhaps one of the key reasons for the recent "SaaS-pocalypse", where many software stocks have sold off due to the emerging threat of AI and technological disruption.So where do we go from here? Are software stocks with lower prices now a compelling buying opportunity? Or are these falling knives with even more downside risk ahead?On Monday's livestream show, Bastion Fiduciary portfolio manager John Rotonti and I describe the status quo of the software industry. But we also discuss how infrastructure providers are emerging as the real winners in the age of AI.Power, cooling, networking, and other supporting functions are supply-constrained and are doing their best to meet the $3 trillion of AI infrastructure spending that will take place within the next five years. We discuss the turnaround taking place in manufacturing and why Amphenol, TE Connectivity, and Trane Technologies could be lucrative investment opportunities.Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome & Mardi Gras check-in02:30 – The SaaS reckoning: low moats, high competition08:00 – Valuations then vs. now (52x PE → 20x)12:00 – The stock-based compensation problem15:00 – Is it finally time to invest in SaaS?20:00 – Constellation Software: the acquisition machine28:00 – Nvidia & the AI infrastructure buildout38:00 – Hardware + software integration as a moat40:00 – Why Alphabet is the widest-moat AI company43:00 – Power, liquid cooling & the data center arms race47:00 – Labor shortages & re-industrialization50:00 – Audience Q&ALearn more about long-term investing at 7investing.com — get your first 7 days free at 7investing.com/subscribe#7investing #AIStocks #SaaS #Nvidia #Alphabet #JohnRotonti #StockMarket #Investing #AIInfrastructure #IndustrialStocks #ConstellationSoftware #LongTermInvesting

I start this episode with 'funnies' from the past week, then get into the Winter Olympics in Milan. How thrilling would it be to have a luge track nearby that you could use? Problem is there are only four of them in America.In this episode, I break down the differences between luge, skeleton, and bobsled. Then pivot to the value of a gold medal and whose has been most valuable on the open market.Then I get into the ongoing cartel violence in Mexico, highlighting how embedded these monsters are in human trafficking and fentanyl-dealing.

New Orleans witnessed its first modern Mardi Gras procession - kick-started by a group of students eager to revive the traditional masquerade, banned for six decades - on 27th February, 1827.  The city's parades and revelry can trace their origins back to ancient pagan festivals and European traditions, cemented by the arrival of French-Canadian explorer (and MASSIVE ‘Fat Tuesday' fan) Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville into Louisiana in 1699.  In this episode, The Retrospectors Krewe dig into the celebration's impact on revenue and refuse; consider the discriminatory practices that accompanied the festivities until the late 20th century; and get angry about the British equivalent: Pancake Day…  Further Reading: • ‘Here's a Brief History of Mardi Gras and How It All Started' (The Manual, 2024): https://www.themanual.com/culture/history-of-madi-gras/ • ‘Unmasking the History of Mardi Gras in New Orleans' (The Crescent Magazine, 2022): https://tulanemagazine.com/unmasking-the-history-of-mardi-gras-in-new-orleans/ • ‘Mardi Gras New Orleans Louisiana 4K' (Dan Usher Films, 2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bv1mFl9SI4 We'll be back on Monday - unless you join CLUB RETROSPECTORS, where we give you ad-free listening AND a full-length Sunday episode every week!Plus, weekly bonus content, unlock over 70 bonus bits, and support our independent podcast.Join now via Apple Podcasts or Patreon.

On the evening of February 28, 2006, 23-year-old Travis Roberson traveled from his home in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, to downtown Fayetteville to attend a Mardi Gras celebration. He was there with friends, enjoying what was meant to be a night of music, crowds, and celebration. At some point during the evening, Travis told the others he wasn't feeling well and said he was going to walk back to the car to wait until everyone was ready to leave. When the rest of the group returned to the vehicle later that night, Travis was nowhere to be found. At first, there was no immediate panic. Friends assumed Travis may have met someone or found another way home, and that he would call to let them know what was going on. But hours passed, then days, and that call never came.Travis's family reported him missing to the Siloam Springs Police Department. Since Travis was last seen in downtown Fayetteville, police later said the case was transferred to the Fayetteville Police Department. What happened next would have long-lasting consequences. Due to a breakdown in communication between agencies, no one opened an active investigation into Travis's disappearance. For years, each department believed the other was handling the case. In reality, no investigation was underway at all.By the time the error was discovered, critical time had been lost. Leads had gone cold, evidence was gone, and memories had faded. Nearly twenty years later, Travis Roberson's family is still searching for answers about what happened to him that night.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Travis Roberson, please contact the Siloam Springs Police Department at 479-524-4118.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You ever try to snowboard while claiming a bad back? No? Good. Because apparently insurance companies are out here hiring private investigators to follow you to the grocery store and check your TikTok for “too active” behavior. We kicked things off today with a deep dive into the wild world of insurance claim surveillance — including a viral PI who caught a guy shredding a mountain while supposedly injured. Moral of the story: if you're gonna commit fraud… maybe don't hit the halfpipe.From there, we spiraled (as we do) into workplace comp horror stories, gorilla courtroom pranks that may or may not be real, and why oversharing on social media is basically volunteering to lose your case. It's education. It's cautionary. It's chaotic. It's the kind of thing only a daily comedy show like this can turn into group therapy with punchlines.Then in Crap On Celebrities:Dee Snider assures everyone he's NOT dying (we promise, he said it).Shia LaBeouf goes full Mardi Gras meltdown. Again.Cardi B announces she's “taking some out.” Yes, that's exactly what you think it means.Dr. Dre turns 61 and we celebrate with bangers that defined a generation.We also debate weird “favorite bands” (if your favorite band is Dishwalla, we need to talk), question cinematic universe crossovers, and somehow end up discussing Yoko Ono screaming at Chuck Berry. As one does.And then — the chaos crescendo:
