This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! A home is supposed to be a place of comfort, safety, and peace. For Yvonne and her family, their house in Marysville was anything but. What began as ordinary life in a suburban home quickly spiraled into a nightmare of dogs going mad, beds shaking violently, and disembodied voices whispering from the shadows. From the very first days, something about the Marysville house felt off. The atmosphere pressed down heavy, like a blanket of dread draped over every room. Soon, Yvonne began to feel the effects not just physically, but mentally—waves of oppression that clouded her mind, making her question her sanity. Paranormal activity escalated quickly, and what started as noises soon revealed itself to be a dark entity with a terrifying talent: mimicry. Why was this house so haunted? Was it something in the land itself, festering under the foundation? Or was this entity something darker—an intelligent spirit determined to torment anyone who dared live there? Yvonne's story isn't just another true ghost story; it's a harrowing account of survival inside a home that seemed designed to destroy her spirit. This wasn't a house to live in—it was a house to survive. And Yvonne barely did. This is Part Two of our conversation. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #MarysvilleHouse #HauntedHouse #ParanormalActivity #VoicesInTheDark #DemonicMimicry #SupernaturalEncounter #CreepyTrueStory #ParanormalPodcast #TheGraveTalks Love real ghost stories?

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Description: Episode #1096: We cover GM's shift away from EVs at Orion, the end of a 112-year family legacy at Ohio's oldest Ford dealership, and how new AI tools are challenging the finance industry's most iconic software.Show Notes with links:General Motors is officially reversing course at its Orion Assembly plant, which had been idled since late 2023 for a planned conversion to electric vehicle production. Instead, the automaker now says the factory will build gas-powered versions of the Escalade, Silverado, and Sierra starting in 2027.Originally, Orion was to build EV versions of the Silverado and Sierra, aligning with GM's electrification strategy.Production was delayed twice amid shifting consumer sentiment and cost considerations.The move is part of a broader $4 billion investment across three plants to increase output of gasoline-powered vehicles.GM cited “continued strong customer demand” for ICE models as the driver behind the pivot.“These moves will further strengthen our manufacturing footprint,” GM said, reaffirming its commitment to Michigan manufacturing.After 112 years under Chapman family stewardship, Ohio's oldest Ford dealership has been sold to Coughlin Automotive, marking the end of a storied chapter in Marysville.Originally opened by grocer George Butler Chapman in Plain City in 1913, Bob Chapman Ford was one of the first Ford dealers in Ohio, selling Model TsOver four generations, the Chapman family expanded: new facilities in 1918, 1935, and 1978, plus ventures into Firestone stores, Chryslers, RVs, even founding local airports The current 28,000-square-foot facility includes 24 service bays, a Quick Lane center and proudly displays an original Model T on its showroom floor as a nod to its century‑plus legacyJoe Chapman described the sale as “one of the most emotional and important decisions of my life,” praising Coughlin's deep respect for the dealership's legacy and community roots.New AI platforms like Claude and Perplexity are digging into the finance world, offering powerful features that could make Bloomberg's industry standard $25K-a-year terminal feel outdated.Claude now combines real-time market data with internal company info to answer complex questions instantly—no more juggling multiple systems.It can run simulations, build trading models, and handle huge documents without analysts hitting roadblocks.Major firms like Bridgewater, AIG, and Norway's sovereign wealth fund are already seeing big productivity boosts.Perplexity targets a broader market with tools starting at $0, offering fast research summaries, stock comparisons, and even crypto integrations through Coinbase.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
THIS WEEK'S GUESTS: RONNIE PHILIPS AND LOGAN BURDITT OF HEARTLAND WATERFOWL. Ronnie Philips: As a 2nd Grader from Marysville, KS, Ronnie was introduced to upland bird and deer hunting by his grandfather, David Curtis Carter. Ronnie learned about the outdoors from that man who made a name for himself as a multi-year Bird Dog Trial Champion in South Carolina and owner of Carter's Shooting Preserve. Several years later, Ronnie's passion for chasing upland birds shifted to waterfowl after his first afternoon duck hunt outside of Mound City, MO. After 22 years as a country music on-air radio personality, Ronnie decided to parlay that experience into his passion for the outdoors with the creation of Heartland Waterfowl. Also known as “Papa Ron”, Ronnie hosts The Papa Ron Podcast and still plays radio at paparonradio.com.Logan Burditt: Logan is a fifth-generation waterfowl hunter with roots originating from northeast Missouri. He was extremely fortunate to have been raised with numerous highly qualified outdoorsmen front-and-center in his life. Safety and animal conservation were strongly taught and enforced, mostly by example. Logan shot his first pheasant at the early age of seven with a 410 shotgun. He quickly became a fan of all bird hunting and saw his love of the sport intensify while playing college baseball at Fort Hays, KS. Logan considers himself very blessed with the vast amount of friends he's made through his love of hunting and filming.

So the ebike is a brick in the back of my Rav4, but it still works like a normal bike, so let's keep going! But a sudden realization may provide the solution to unlock all the battery goodness, just as another stunning discovery makes me realize, this trip's Plan B was all meant to be. Lake Ontario 2025 - Part 3 Hotel pack-up & quick diagnosis Morning in Oswego, NY. Realizes the motor cut-off is just a loose brake-lever magnet. Simple electrical/duct-tape fix brings the e-bike back to life. Route planning & launch Scraps the closed Cape Vincent ferry idea decides to drive the east shore of Lake Ontario, scouting state parks and quieter wildlife areas instead of sticking to busy parks. Lake-side stops Quick visit to Black Pond Wildlife Management Area (too restricted for bikes). Heads north to Westcott Beach State Park for a short beach walk, photos, and a quick battery test run. Drive to Canada Long detour to the Thousand Islands bridge (the only open crossing) because the south-end Wolf Island ferry is closed. Smooth Canadian customs stop; grabs ice cream and activates a Canadian eSIM for data. Kingston → Wolf Island ferry Misses the boat by two cars; 80-minute wait becomes a snack-and-people-watch session. Free ferry ride over; hotel is literally a block from the dock. Marysville check-in Rustic ground-floor room, lake view, no A/C needed. Drops bags, scopes dinner options (hotel café). Evening e-bike shake-down 14-mile out-and-back along Route 95 to the shuttered U.S. ferry dock on the south tip. Cruises at ~20 mph, marvels at wind turbines, farmland scenery, and micro-climates. Confirms minimal battery draw and re-affirms “twice the speed, half the effort” mantra. Wrap-up reflections Happy the brake glitch happened early—it forced a car assist and avoided being stranded. Wolf Island deemed a stellar, low-traffic cycling spot; sets intentions for next day's ride and keeps an eye on looming Toronto weather. Statistics Miles biked 15 Closed ferry terminals visited 2 Open ferry terminals visited 2 Missed ferries 1 Denomination of Canadian currency that may or may not smell like maple syrup unless the bartender was trolling me 50 Flats 0

We are excited to share this episode on the extraordinary lives of military children who have been recognized as the Operation Homefront 2025 Military Child of the Year® recipients from the National Guard, Space Force, Navy, and Army families. Join us as Emily, Natalia, Mason, and Maribel share stories of resilience and appreciation for growing up in military families. This podcast is made possible by generous funding from the Maxwell-Gunter Spouses' Club To learn more, visit https://www.maxwellgunterspousesclub.com/. Audio mixing by Concentus Media, Inc., Temple, Texas. Show Notes: Resources: Operation Homefront https://operationhomefront.org/ Military Child of the Year Award Recipients https://operationhomefront.org/military-child-of-the-year/ Bio: Emily, the Operation Homefront 2025 Military Child of the Year for the National Guard is 18, and the daughter of Rebecca and Juan Carlos Baldeosingh, an Army National Guard sergeant who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Her stepfather, retired Marine Sgt. Maj. Skip Amaker, served 26 years. His tenure included five deployments to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. Emily was 2 when her mother received the news on June 29, 2009, that Juan Carlos was among four North Carolina guardsmen killed in Iraq when an improvised explosive device detonated near their vehicle. He first served in the Marine Corps but transitioned to civilian life and, in 2008, joined the Guard. Being part of a Gold Star Family has shaped Emily. “I have grown up with the utmost respect for our country and those who serve to protect our freedom,” she said. “My family has always made it a top-tier priority to stay hopeful and stay positive through everything.” Natalia, the Operation Homefront 2025 Military Child of the Year for the Space Force, finds opportunity in the challenges that face military families. Natalia, 17, is the daughter of Maria Tapia and Chief Master Sgt. Jay Harris, who has served in the Air Force and Space Force since 1995. He is currently senior enlisted leader at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Natalia understands the hardships of changing friend groups and adapting to new cultures after attending 12 schools and enduring seven PCS moves that have taken the family to five states and one foreign country. At first, she saw the constant change and upheaval as a disadvantage. However, her perspective changed, and she learned to value resiliency. “I chose to shift my mindset, and now I appreciate the 12 supportive schools, 12 reliable friend groups, and seven different places that I can proudly call home,” she said. “Every one of these experiences has profoundly influenced my journey, instilling in me a deep appreciation for resilience and the importance of building meaningful connections.” Mason, the Operation Homefront 2025 Military Child of the Year for the Navy, earned a bachelor's degree before most of his peers finished high school. He reached the accelerated milestone while balancing academics with caregiving responsibilities at home. Mason, 19, is the son of Melissa and Chief Warrant Officer Jason Mosher of Marysville, Washington. Jason, a 20-year veteran of the Navy, serves as N6A at Commander Naval Surface Group Northwest and is based at Naval Station Everett. The family has made four PCS moves, including two to Japan, and Mason's father has been away on deployments, patrols, and missions at sea for 97 months. A homeschool student, Mason excels despite challenges of dysgraphia, a learning difference that affects written work and motor skills. He graduated high school at 16 and completed his associate degree from Liberty University four months later. He kept up the pace, and less than two years later graduated cum laude from Liberty University with a bachelor's degree in marketing and advertising. Maribel is Operation Homefront's 2025 Military Child of the Year for the Army is founding and presiding over a youth volunteering organization when her family was stationed in Japan, serving with the Red Cross, and dedicating herself to improving childhood literacy are just a few of the reasons. She is 17, lives in Kentucky where her father, Lt. Col. Nicholas Sikes, is stationed at Fort Knox. Her mom, Audrey Sikes, homeschools Maribel and her four younger siblings. In considering colleges, along with the usual items like location, financial aid, and aligning majors, Maribel must consider her food allergies and whether she can access allergen-free food stations.
