Core drilling just started on the boat-shaped ridge in eastern Turkey that some people have called Noah's Ark since a Turkish Army captain spotted it from the air in 1959. The Durupinar formation sits in the Tendurek Mountains near Mount Ararat, about 164 meters long — close to the 300-cubit length in Genesis. Modern geologists have treated it for decades as limestone and volcanic clay carved by erosion. David Fasold measured it in the 1980s, called it a fossilized deck, then later dismissed the ark theory himself. Now a Sivas Cumhuriyet University team, with Turkish government approval, has run the first real core drill into it. Andrew Jones says the biggest early finding is that the formation is soil, not a solid rock mass worn into a ship shape. Radar work has picked up right angles, possible tunnels, and voids a few meters down. Earlier soil tests found about three times more organic matter inside the outline than on the hillside next to it. The samples are headed to labs in Ankara. A full report is not expected until 2027. The fundraising side did not wait. Lauren Witzke, handling marketing for the Noah's Ark Scans effort, has already said university curricula will need to be rewritten and Darwinism dismantled — while an underground robot, adapted from a machine built to explore wombat burrows, is still collecting footage. That is the gap worth watching: a real dig at a formation science wrote off and a press line that already knows the ending. Pat also covered: Sharon Stone tells Michelle Obama they didn't test tampons on human blood until 2026, then says if men got pregnant, you'd get an abortion from a vending machine. Gavin Newsom on 2028: no deadline, just fate, and his kids are the focus group with veto power. Philadelphia teacher Hannah Gann told activists she was Palestinian, Tunisian, and black. She finally admitted, “I lied about my identity and have been lying for years.” Trump endorses Ken Paxton in Denton, then calls him a pain in the ass to his face. “Is he here? Oh, there he is. I don't care.” Jim Justice says ICE got “carried away” dragging 15-year neighbors, then says he backs Trump “full stop,” and the press twisted his words. Is Durupinar Noah's Ark, or a ridge that happens to look like a hull? What would those cores have to show before you believed either side?

Matt Pohlson was clinically dead for four and a half minutes. His heart had stopped, the doctor had already called it, and 40 ICU staff had gathered at the window like a silent choir when his mother refused to let them stop fighting. He came back - and the clarity from that experience reshaped his entire company. Omaze, the platform he co-founded to raise money for charity by giving everyday people the chance to win once-in-a-lifetime experiences, has sent people to be mentored by Michelle Obama, ride a tank with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and win a Lamborghini handed over by the Pope. After Matt's near-death experience, he made the hard decision to kill the parts of the business he loved most - and grew revenue over 500% while increasing headcount just 10%. In this interview, Matt breaks down the counterintuitive focus decision that unlocked Omaze's explosive growth, the controversial charity philosophy of chasing dollars over percentages, and what flatlining taught him about fear, decisions, and building a company that scales optimism. What you'll learn in this interview: The near-death experience that reset how he leads - and why he calls death his best friend and travel companion Why he killed the celebrity-experience model he loved - cutting from 300 campaigns a year to 50 - and went all in on "Omaze Owned" How a Daniel Craig campaign meant to raise $300K pulled $2.1 million - and the test that revealed the car mattered more than the celebrity How revenue grew over 500% on just a 10% headcount increase - and the focus principle behind it The controversial charity philosophy: why chasing dollars to the charity, not percentages, is what the nonprofit space actually needs The exact economics of both models - 60% to charity on celebrity campaigns, guaranteed 15% on prize campaigns - and who carries the risk How to actually partner with A-list talent: running the real numbers before giving away 5-10% of your company for star power Why the biggest decisions don't get better the more people you ask - and his "when you don't know what to do, do nothing" rule Virtues over values: why what your team does matters more than what they believe - and how he rebuilt culture at eight people Why nothing is ever as bad as the fear of it - and how replacing fear with love changed how he operates If you're building a mission-driven business, wrestling with whether to focus or diversify, or trying to lead through the kind of pressure that breaks most founders, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about fear, focus, and building something that genuinely scales good in the world.

The Obama Presidential Center uses its honeybee hives to educate visitors about ecosystems, sustainability and urban agriculture. The two hives were added to the grounds early this spring. The idea began in 2009, when First Lady Michelle Obama started the White House Kitchen Garden. The Obamas were the first to establish a beehive on the White House grounds. In the Loop goes onsite with OPC's resident beekeepers as they inspect the colony and prepare the bees for the coming winter.GUESTS: Thad J.

Brad Crowell 0:01 Fuck yeah! Lesley Logan 0:02 Get ready for some wins. Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:48 Welcome, Be It babe, to the Fuck Yeah Friday episode that has no script at the beginning. I just wing it every time, and I wung it so poorly. You'll probably hear a blooper in this episode because I. Oh my god! Normally, don't record the FYFs on Tuesday afternoons because normally that's when Brad and I would record a recap. So I think my brain is like, "Oh, it's Tuesday. You're in the pod room. You must be recording a recap without your husband. It's Friday, and we take some time to just be a human being. Don't have to be learning. We can be living. We can be celebrating what we did do together, and you know I got to get a little thing off my chest with you. Hopefully, you're in your car nodding along and understand my pain. Then I share one of your wins, and then you get to send. You get to be inspired by someone's win. You send it in to me. Lesley Logan 1:35 So, okay, here's the deal. There's this weird thing that's going on. So, for those who have been on Instagram for a long time, meaning of like being on Instagram, like you didn't have to have a ton of followers, but like everybody wanted to send you a pair of leggings and then give you 10% off as your discount, but also you would sell the leggings and then you would get affiliate money, right? And so years ago, was everyone and their mom was literally in my DMs trying to get me to wear their fucking leggings. Send me a free pair, and then I just have to post, and I get to have an affiliate link and make three cents, right? So that was annoying. Fast forward to okay. Now I actually want to be intentional about the companies I collab with. I want to make sure it's things that we want to tell you about. So being intentional about doing my research, trying the product, reaching out, being an affiliate for them, and then for them to go, you actually haven't sold enough of the product, so we're going to cancel your affiliation with us. So by not selling enough of the product, they wanted 20 sales in a month. You guys, someone have to have a million followers for that because most people know it takes seven to 10 hours of somebody understanding your brand before they buy something from you. So seven to 17 touch points at the least for some purchase. And so I was so frustrated because it has been 30 days. What'd you think I was going to talk about your stuff all day long every single day? Like this is QVC? No. And so it was just so annoying, and it gave me such a bad taste with the brand because that's just you know I would never do with my affiliates. If you want to be an affiliate of ours, we have it for our flashcards and we have it for Agency, and then we have referral bonuses for eLevate and for the retreat. And if you want to be, we don't go. You have to have minimum sales to get a thing. No, what I have seen is if you do really, really well, you might get better payouts. But to just completely drop the people who've been talking about you because they didn't do a good enough job? Weird. I just think it's weird. I think it's gross. It's not. It's and then all these companies like women supporting women. Fuck you. No, you're not. Because you would just allow me to be an.Lesley Logan 3:37 If you saw me using my affiliate just to buy stuff at discount, okay, that is one thing, but to just feel you can keep talking about we're not going to pay you because you didn't. I don't know something about it just really irks me because wait, that's not that's not how things go. And you know, there's been other companies have taken really really good care of me, really really amazing, and then they got rid of their affiliate program. Very different thing, very very different thing, and so this is not me bitching about that stuff. It's just like the ones you. I don't know. I just think why can't I just tell people about the product that I love and then maybe one a month come to you? Maybe that's it, right? Maybe get one a month. Maybe actually my people already buy your stuff and they're like, oh, Les likes to do it. I'll keep buying more, but you'll never know, right? It's just weird. I don't know. Why can't we just all get along? Why can't we all support each other? That's all. That's what this complaint is about. Lesley Logan 4:25 All right. So my win, my win because I think I've like hit that pinata to death. So I had an invitation to do something that, to be honest, would have actually been fine and aligned with the business, and we would have made it work, and probably would have made some good money on it. And I said no because it was going to affect my well-being and my commitments to myself, and my sleep, and my routines. And I have so many friends who work for themselves who will just say yes to every speaking gig, and they will just work from every hotel, and they just wear this badge of busy. And I cannot do that. And it's really interesting because, like, there is this fear that can come up. Oh my god! If I tell people I'm going to say no to things, then people will stop asking me. And I'm sure that's true. I guess it could happen. But I also really do believe that this is not advice for you if you're brand new at the thing you're doing, okay? But I've been doing this for a long time, a long time. I've been doing this a long time, and I also did so much travel, and then no travel because of pandemic, and then a little bit travel, and then so much travel, and I love it, and I would love to go everywhere all of the time. I'd love to say yes, and the truth is, is that I can't do the good work that I'm doing and say yes to every single thing. So I said no to this thing. I said I can't do it this time, but please keep me in mind for the rest, for other things. You know, it's not a never. It's just not a today, and send them on with some other support. And then I didn't feel bad about it, and I also think that that's a win. Like, whoa, wow, what, what? I'm I got rid of some level of insecurity that was vibrating in my brain. Got rid of that somewhere along the way, and I don't know when, but when I did this, I didn't buzz in. Oh my God, you're gonna invite again? Do you want to be invited? Nope, not not insecure at all. So that's my win. That's my win. I said no, I didn't feel bad about it. So see how easy a win can be? Lesley Logan 6:25 Now let's do a win of yours. You can send your wins in to beitpod.com/questions. Okay, same link for everything. Questions, topics. The questions we answer on YouTube, but the topics we do podcast episodes on or find guests. You can send guest requests in. If you send me Michelle Obama one more time, I love her. Can't wait. Would love for her to be. Cannot wait to be of earn the right to interview her. But maybe someone a little more attainable. Yeah. Okay. I love you guys so much. All right. So this is from @sandaburkemovement, "Set up my new reformer!!!" Oh my god, your new Reformer is stunning on you, and it's been so fun to watch your practice just evolve and change, and you know, the strength that you have, and I just am so glad that you're in my life, that I've been your elevated life, and we get to keep doing this Pilates thing together. Lesley Logan 7:09 And then this one is from @pilates_muscles, "Connected deeper to my breath, and made my long legs feel feather light and teaser." Oh wow! Breath is so good. The breath is so good. Ah, I love these wins. Thanks for sending them in, ladies. You are amazing. Keep them coming because you'll hear them in the future, right? You won't hear them a week later when you remember the win. You're going to hear it a month or three later and go, "Oh my God, I did that. That's right. I forgot about that. Right? Lesley Logan 7:37 All right. Here is your mantra: Relaxation is my natural state. Relaxation is my natural state. Relaxation is your natural state, babe. Go get it. Go Be It Till You See It.

Chuck and Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden AI Panic Porn: From Climate Hoax and Covid Hoax to the New AI Scare, Data Centers, and Algorithm Control Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden argue that the new wave of artificial intelligence doom warnings follows the same script as the climate change and COVID-19 panics that came before it, walking through data centers, government regulation, and the fight over who controls the algorithms shaping what people see. Opening the AI Panic Debate Julie Hayden opens the show by drawing a direct line from the climate change movement to COVID-19 restrictions and now to what she calls "AI panic porn." She recalls warnings that failing to cede control to government would bring death within ten years from climate change, then within weeks from COVID, and now within three years from artificial intelligence. She points to a young former Anthropic employee who left the company after a matter of weeks, built a large social media following overnight, and now warns publicly that AI could kill everyone without swift regulation. Julie cites a Hill headline about Hakeem Jeffries addressing mounting AI safety concerns and notes that five months earlier the public was using AI cheerfully for songs, memes, and recipes. She argues the sudden shift feels engineered, framing it as a psyop meant to hand control of artificial intelligence to Democrats and big technology companies. Chuck Bonniwell listens as she lays out the pattern before he responds. Chuck Sees a Real AI Danger Chuck Bonniwell tells Julie he agrees with her in part and disagrees in part. He calls climate change a true hoax, arguing the underlying science tying carbon to warming is weak, and calls COVID-19 little more than a severe seasonal flu that government overreaction turned into a catastrophe. Artificial intelligence, he says, is different: he genuinely believes AI could cause serious harm, so that part is not a hoax. The hoax, in his view, is the idea that handing control to government will make people safer, when in his estimation government involvement would only make the danger arrive faster. He mocks a proposal from an unnamed Anthropic executive calling for a global consortium of democratically elected nations to govern AI, comparing it to the European Union and asking whether anyone truly trusts an international body to manage something so powerful. Julie agrees, adding that such a board would likely include figures like Barack and Michelle Obama directing everyone else on what to do. Data Centers, Electric Bills, and Local Fights The conversation turns to data centers, the physical infrastructure behind artificial intelligence. Chuck notes that newer generations of data centers use far less water than critics claim, though they can raise local electric bills, and he argues that companies like Xcel could be pressured to pass savings to ratepayers rather than absorbing tax breaks themselves. He recalls Loudoun County, Virginia, where local governments handed AI companies tax rebates just to attract them, calling it a missed opportunity for smarter negotiating. Julie points out that blocking data centers locally does nothing to stop the technology overall, since the centers will simply move to Wyoming, another state, or even China. She mentions Elon Musk's idea of putting data centers in space as one alternative. Both agree that refusing a data center only costs a jurisdiction tax revenue while giving competitors, especially China, the edge, since as Chuck puts it, whoever wins the AI race answers to no one else. Government's Track Record on COVID and Fauci Chuck broadens the argument by recalling how government antitrust action once broke up Standard Oil, calling it one of the rare cases where regulation worked because it kept a market competitive rather than consolidating it under one company. He contrasts that history with COVID-19, arguing that government promises to prevent dangerous research did not stop Anthony Fauci from supporting so-called gain-of-function work connected to the Wuhan lab. Both hosts revisit Fauci's private diaries, which they say show he knew his own six-foot distancing rule was arbitrary and that mask guidance shifted for political rather than scientific reasons. Julie extends the point to the Russia investigation and January 6th, arguing that government officials have repeatedly lied and then worked to silence dissent rather than admit error. She raises a theory from Conservative Treehouse suggesting a staged AI-related crisis, such as a power outage or financial glitch, may be timed before the midterms, followed by blame placed on Donald Trump for failing to stop it, echoing the pattern they say followed COVID and January 6th. Who Controls the Algorithm Next The discussion shifts to who will shape public opinion next. Julie argues that newspapers once controlled the narrative, then radio and television took over for decades, then social media and podcasts spread influence further, and now whoever controls search and chatbot algorithms will decide what people see and believe. She criticizes X's "For You" recommendations as inconsistent with what she actually follows and recalls being shadow-banned during COVID without knowing it. Chuck describes taking a Colorado Free University class on artificial intelligence taught by Donald Sullinger, saying it left him more unsettled about how capable the technology already is rather than less. Both trade stories about using ChatGPT to solve a flat tire in minutes, first for Chuck's car and then for Julie's, before Julie raises a darker hypothetical: if government controlled AI-linked services, a request for roadside help could quietly be denied to someone the government disfavored, using her own flat tire and the show's anti-AI segment as the example. Frontier Companies, China, and Closing Thoughts Chuck argues that AI "frontier" companies want government regulation mainly for legal cover, comparing it to pharmaceutical companies that welcomed vaccine mandates so they could not be sued if something went wrong. He repeats a claim that Nancy Pelosi and others helped push gain-of-function research toward Wuhan in 2020 to slow Donald Trump's economy, and argues the same interests now fund anti-AI messaging because China wants to overtake the United States. Julie counters that Democrats also want control for its own sake, noting that unions actually favor AI construction jobs while some Democrats resist them, and Chuck jokes that Trump could simply order a data center built at federally controlled Denver International Airport. The two also touch on artificial general intelligence, superintelligence, and old science-fiction warnings, invoking Star Trek's V'Ger and the Terminator's Skynet, noting that in both stories humanity eventually prevails. They close by reading a few listener comments from Zoom, thanking the audience, and signing off until Wednesday's show.

Welcome back to The Majority Report On today's program: Israeli journalist at Haaretz, Shlomi Eldar, reports on Benjamin Netanyahu receiving advance notice of the October 7 attacks from the UAE president. Netanyahu reportedly failed to brief any of Israel's security chiefs. Donald Trump calls the war on Iran "small potatoes" compared to other wars and is unmoved by a reporter reminding him that 18 people died, responding by rambling about America's space superiority. Trump lies about being carried out of a building by buff firemen on 9/11, a lie that he started spreading in 2021. The truth is on 9/11, Trump was calling in to the Howard Stern show to brag about how he now has the tallest building in New York Hanno Hauenstein, a Berlin-based independent journalist and publisher of the Nullpunkt newsletter on Substack, joins to discuss the recent electoral gains by Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany party. In the Fun Half: Fox News is scared of AOC's outreach to MAHA enthusiasts, acknowledging that it is brilliant politics by the Representative from New York. Fox reporter Rachel Campos-Duffy sounds surprised at data showing that 89% of Americans agree that the government should play a role in ensuring food safety. We take a look back at when Republicans threw a hissy fit over Michelle Obama's healthy school lunch program and the subsequent roll back during Trump's first term. Rudy Guiliani goes on Newsmax to rant and rave about Mayor Zohran Mamdani attending a 9/11 memorial event. Jasper Nanthiel makes a call-to-action to Jewish Americans to look into what institutions and synagogues are supporting in Israel and if this is something that one would want to be associated with.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just said the part Canada does not want on loop: You cannot be in a tit for tat with a country 13 times larger than you are. Watch the clip. Then watch what he said next. On CNBC from the G20 in Asheville, Bessent was asked if America is now in a trade war with Canada. He waved it off. Mark Carney, he said, turned a deal into a political shouting match because it helps Carney and the Liberal Party — not Canadian workers. The United States offered what Bessent called the best trade deal of any country on the globe. Carney walked away at the last minute. Now Ottawa wants to talk toughness while sitting next to an economy an order of magnitude bigger. “We're not at war with Canada. How are we going to be at war with Canada? What, are they going to take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sic them on us?” Pat also covered: It's SEPTEMBER!

Neha Ruch built her career in brand strategy—an MBA from Stanford, a fast climb on the corporate ladder, and a title she loved. Then she paused her career after her second child and spent the years since rebranding what a career pause actually looks like for ambitious women. In her book, The Power Pause, Neha makes the case that stepping back from paid work isn't the opposite of ambition. It's a chapter of it. She also reframes the “stay-at-home mom” label, citing survey results showing outdated stereotypes (like apron-clad June Cleaver from Leave It to Beaver), and argues modern parenthood is more fluid with technology, networks, and involved partners. Whether you're actively wondering, "Do I quit my job? Do I take a pause? What should I do?", or if family planning is somewhere on your radar for the next few years, or if kids aren't even part of the picture yet—this conversation is worth having early. Neha and Amanda get into how to come out the other side of a power pause with a stronger sense of self, a real community, and clarity on what's next, well before you're right in the thick of it. Key Takeaways A "power pause" is deliberately shifting time and energy toward family for a chapter, while still holding onto a sense of self and community. The most common image people associate with "stay-at-home mom" (June Cleaver) versus "working mom" (Michelle Obama, Sheryl Sandberg, Beyoncé) shows just how outdated and polarized our cultural narrative around motherhood still is. A good partner is someone who can have difficult conversations and makes you feel safe having conflict, not someone who avoids hard topics altogether. Career pauses don't have to mean fully leaving the workforce; they can look like part-time work, consulting, freelancing, or simply deprioritizing taking on demanding projects for a season. Tracking small wins during a pause can become a real, resume-worthy experience when you're ready to return to work. How to know when it's time to return to work and how to market your power pause on LinkedIn. Working moms, stay-at-home moms, and everyone on a power pause are part of the same ecosystem, not opposing sides, and supporting each other is what actually moves the conversation forward.

Tyler Robinson, Luigi Mangione, and Lindsay Clancy. They're three wildly different cases, but they all raise the same question: Just how much have we lost our collective minds? Comedian and co-host of ‘The Boyscast,' Danny Polishchuk joins Will & The Crew alongside fellow Comedian and Author, Cody Tucker to break down the public's mass hysteria over what should be three relatively cut and dry murder cases. Plus, they react to adult-film actress Bonnie Blue's pregnancy announcement, former First Lady Michelle Obama's controversial comments on motherhood, and Congressman Maxwell Frost's (D-FL) hilarious self-own during a Jubilee debate against friend of the show Geno Bisconte.

From Trump's major Venezuela oil announcement and escalating pressure on Iran to Milo Yiannopoulos' deportation and Hasan Piker's controversial past coming back into the spotlight, there was no shortage of political chaos this weekend. We break down Trump's Venezuela oil deal, Marco Rubio's reaction, new Iran sanctions, U.S. strikes on Iranian missile launchers, Scott Bessent's brutal response to Elizabeth Warren, and the media's latest Pete Hegseth speculation. Plus, Canada gets dragged into the madness with "Lake America," CBC's 9/11 language controversy, trade tensions, and some hilarious parody videos. Then things get even messier: Milo Yiannopoulos is deported, his old pro-deportation posts resurface, Laura Loomer and Tom Homan enter the conversation, and conservatives clash over what happened. Candace Owens sparks more speculation, Kathy Hochul delivers another painfully awkward moment, and Abdul El-Sayed faces repeated questions about his association with Hasan Piker as old Piker clips make the rounds again. We're also covering the latest on the Lindsay Clancy trial, Spencer Pratt's reaction, Michelle Obama talking about her daughters leaving home, Dolly Parton's Nashville honor, Billie Eilish getting roasted by Grok, and plenty of ridiculous viral videos to end the show.Be confident in your portfolio with Bulwark!

Hosts: Matt | LeeroySHOW NOTESAndrew Wilson takes on the meatheads, putting loud confidence and chest-thumping certainty against a debater who is always ready to test an argument.We react to Michelle Obama saying she loves her daughters but does not miss living with them while revealing that Barack cried when they left for college.We examine Michigan's persistent reading problem as the state rolls out new Science of Reading requirements and dyslexia support while too many students remain below proficiency.We review Candace Owens's latest “exclusive” and ask whether it supplies meaningful new evidence or simply repackages material that changes nothing.We examine why people across party lines are reassessing Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie as their breaks with Republican leadership turn them into unlikely anti-establishment figures.We investigate why many wildfire victims say FireAid's $100 million helped nobody directly even as organizers report grants to frontline nonprofits and an independent review found no misappropriation.The Don't Unfriend Me Show is a live conservative news and political commentary podcast hosted by Matt and Olivia Speer. Every weeknight, we break down the biggest stories in politics, government, culture, immigration, free speech, the economy, and current events with live audience interaction and open phone calls.
Summer Rewind EpisodeIn this deeply personal and politically urgent conversation, Dr. David Johns welcomes his White House family—Deesha Dyer, former Social Secretary to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama—for a raw discussion about what we lose when power demolishes history, and what endures when community builds with intention.Deesha takes us inside the moment she saw excavators tearing down the East Wing of the White House in October 2025—the space where she orchestrated state dinners, opened doors for people who never thought they'd walk through them, and made the People's House truly belong to the people.This conversation moves from the rubble of demolished institutions to the unshakeable foundation of community organizing. Deesha shares lessons learned from Michelle Obama about grace under pressure, why she wrote Undiplomatic for Black girls who "risk it all," and what defending democracy actually looks like in practice: investing in local organizations, letting leaders lead in their expertise, documenting our work, and showing up for each other with intention.Deesha's story is a masterclass in refusing to let imposter syndrome—or anyone else—define your worth. As she reminds us: buildings can be demolished in 72 hours, but they can't demolish the memories, the legacy, or the collective power we build together.This is required listening for anyone who believes that mutual aid isn't charity—it's how we survive, build, and love each other into liberation.Website: DeeshaDyer.comInstagram: @deedyer267Email: deesha@deeshadyer.com (She answers every email!)Book: Undiplomatic: How My Attitude Created the Best Kind of Trouble(Available at libraries and independent bookstores)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.

This year, Sarah and Anderson have 10 all-new Micro Genres to share, along with standout books for each.

Digging Deeper returns with 11 luscious clips from across the reality TV ecosystem, including Leah Kateb revealing that Love Island producers offered her extra wine to pull Rob for a conversation she didn't want to have, Stassi Schroeder explaining how little control she had while hosting the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion, Michelle Obama and Megan Thee Stallion breaking down their love of reality television, and Harry Jowsey entering the Nick Viall discourse. Then Stephanie Parker reveals the letter she received from ABC's legal team over her interviews with Bachelor Nation players, raising some very serious questions about how far the franchise will go to control what its players say after the game.Subscribe to Game of Roses on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/gameofrosesPatreon: https://patreon.com/gameofrosesMerch: https://gameofroses.orgListen on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/gameofrosesListen on Spotify: http://bit.ly/spotifygameofroses Hosted on Acast.

Mi invitada de hoy es Eufroisina Cruz. @eufrosinacruzEufrosina nació en Santa María Quiegolani, una comunidad zapoteca en la sierra de Oaxaca, donde le dijeron que por ser mujer no podía votar ni decidir. Se convirtió en la primera mujer indígena en presidir el Congreso de Oaxaca, impulsó la reforma al artículo 2° de la Constitución que reconoció el derecho de las mujeres indígenas a votar y ser votadas, y logró que México se convirtiera en el primer país de América Latina en castigar penalmente el matrimonio infantil. Es autora de Los sueños de la niña de la montaña, su historia forma parte del bestseller Cuentos de buenas noches para niñas rebeldes, y ha compartido escenarios con Michelle Obama y Malala Yousafzai.En este episodio hablamos del precio real de la rebeldía: de cómo se negocia con el propio miedo cuando hay amenazas de muerte de por medio, de cómo se perdona a un padre violento sin justificarlo, de la diferencia entre usos y costumbres y abusos y costumbres, de por qué los subsidios pueden hacer más daño que bien, y de la pregunta que atraviesa toda su vida: ¿quién tiene derecho a decidir por otro?Eufrosina Cruz aprendió a los 12 años que el origen explica muchas cosas, pero la decisión escribe el destino.Por favor ayúdame y sigue Cracks Podcast en YouTube aquí."Si eres consciente y no haces nada, se llama complicidad."- Eufrosina Cruz @EufrosinaCruzComparte esta frase en TwitterEste episodio es presentado por Hospital Angeles Health System que cuenta con el programa de cirugía robótica más robusto en el sector privado en México y por LegaLario la empresa de tecnología legal que ayuda a reducir costos y tiempos de gestión hasta un 80%.Qué puedes aprender hoyCómo cambiar tu historia cuando no hay opcionesCómo ocupar un espacio donde nadie cree que perteneces Cómo sostener una decisión correcta cuando el costo lo pagan los que más amas*Este episodio es presentado por Hospital Angeles Health SystemLos avances en cirugía robótica permiten intervenciones con menos sangrado, menos dolor, cicatrices más pequeñas y una recuperación más rápida.Hospital Angeles Health System tiene el programa de cirugía robótica más robusto en el sector privado en México.
