This week, we're diving deep into the twisted, brilliant mind of the King of Horror himself: Stephen King. From Carrie (which almost ended up in the trash) to The Shining, Misery, and It, we're exploring what makes a King book so unmistakably King. We share our first introductions to his work, favorite stories, and why his film adaptations are some of the best (and occasionally weirdest) out there. Long live the King!

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: God Makes Men Sensible of Their Misery Subtitle: God Exalted Man Humbled Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 10/9/2025 Bible: Hosea 5:15 Length: 29 min.

God Makes Men Sensible of Their Misery Before He Reveals His Mercy and Love. "God makes men consider and be sensible of what sin they are guilty. Before, it may be, they were very regardless of this. They went on sinning, and never reflected upon what they did. [They] never considered or regarded what or how many sins they committed. They saw no cause why they should trouble their minds about it. But when God convinces them, he brings them to reflect upon themselves. He sets their sins in order before their eyes. He brings their old sins to their minds, so that they are fresh in their memory — things which they had almost forgotten.

Just when we thought we were out, he pulls us back in! After declaring this podcast done with Don Rea until Year in Review, Brendan starts this episode off with the late-breaking news of Don Rea's karaoke performance after Saturday of the Ryder Cup. According to the Times of London, D-Rabbit reportedly took the mic at his hotel and performed Eminem's "Lose Yourself" in front of player families and more onlookers. Andy is stunned by the song choice, thinking that an Eagles song would be more up Don's alley. Everyone is wondering when and where the video of this historical moment will inevitably come out and PJ is debating on making some calls across Long Island to see if he can procure it. With Don's one-year anniversary as PGA of America president coming up, Andy ponders if he makes it through half of his two-year term. Brendan is aghast at the "Deep State" of European media and PGA of America members who are trying to cancel Don, demanding that this cannot happen, if only for the sake of this podcast. Before running through this week's results, Andy and Brendan also provide an incredible update on the "Lotte at Lottie's" challenge! In actual golf news, Tommy Gainey secured his first win on the Champions Tour and Andy believes that this may mark the end for the senior circuit in more ways than one. Speaking of the Lotte, the LPGA's unique winner streak carries on after non-member sponsor exemption Youmin Hwang took home the win. Big Shot Bob MacIntyre won a rainy, cold Dunhill just a week after battling at Bethpage. The weather was so bad in Scotland that the event was shortened to 54 holes, causing some Pro-Am celebs to walk off the course due to the conditions. On the PGA Tour, Steven Fisk chased down Garrick Higgo at the Sanderson to win his first-ever PGA Tour title. Andy pops PJ about the latest Jets loss and there's some network television discussion to round out this quick Sunday recording.

Jets fans might need bags on their heads as the season spirals, with tough games against the Panthers and Browns ahead. Giants, Jets, and Yankees fans are still fuming, while the Mets clean house—except for Carlos Mendoza. On the field, Dart owns his mistakes, DABOLL fumes over turnovers, Max Fried bombs again, and Boomer steals the spotlight with a lifetime achievement award.

The superior man uses his superior judgement to look superior on all the metrics.  The Tyranny of Metrics By: Jerry Z. Muller Published: 2019 248 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? The distorting effects of an over-reliance on metrics particularly when it comes to creating incentives. What's the author's angle? Muller was frustrated by the numerous metrics being imposed upon him in academia, frustrated enough to write a book about it. Who should read this book? If you're in an environment where you feel like metrics are being overused and abused, this book can help you identify how that's happening, and what you might be able to do about it.  Specific thoughts: Bad metrics are everywhere, why isn't this problem better known?

From Queef Girl to senior pranks gone wrong, this week's episode dives into the most embarrassing school memories — both Mandy's and yours.

Episode DescriptionWhen you think about 1980s killers, names like Bundy, Ramirez, and Dahmer come to mind. But what about the women? In this episode of Terror Talk: Killer Minds and Creepy Stuff, Shannon and [co-host's name] pull back the curtain on female psychopaths of the decade — both the ones who made headlines and the ones who terrified us on screen.We move through the decade year by year, uncovering shocking real crimes:Christine Falling, the teenage babysitter turned child killer.Genene Jones, the Texas nurse who murdered infants in her care.Diane Downs, whose narcissism led her to shoot her own children.Dorothea Puente, the “sweet old lady” running a boarding house of death.Griselda Blanco, the ruthless “Cocaine Godmother.”And the emergence of Aileen Wuornos, one of history's most infamous female serial killers.At the same time, Hollywood and international horror were building their own female psychopath archetypes:The Fan (1981) and the dangers of obsession.Bloody Birthday and Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker tearing apart family and innocence.Fatal Attraction (1987), where Glenn Close redefined the “woman scorned.”And finally Misery (1990), with Kathy Bates's Oscar-winning portrayal of Annie Wilkes.Together, we explore why these women — real and fictional — terrified the world. Why did betrayal of trust by mothers, nurses, and lovers cut deeper than stranger-danger? And what did these portrayals reveal about shifting gender roles, cultural anxieties, and the way society views dangerous women?This episode is part history lesson, part cultural analysis, and part psychological deep dive into why the 1980s cemented the female psychopath as both a real and reel icon.✨ Listen now and step into a decade where lipstick, motherhood, and obsession became weapons just as lethal as knives and guns.

This week we're celebrating half a million downloads of our podcast, so Guy decided to dedicate this episode to חצי – “half” in Hebrew. From telling the time, to sports, to fashion, “hetsi” gets everywhere. But when do we say “hetsi” and when “hatsi”? Listen to find out.

A fiery Joe Beningo joined us to start the third hour and is angry to say the least at David Stearns.

The Mets limped to the finish, shut out in Miami after a three-month collapse Gio called ‘death by a thousand cuts.' Fans ripped David Stearns, Soto called the season a failure, and Alonso is eyeing the exit. Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart's grit carried the Giants past the Chargers, with Daboll praising his toughness as the cameras kept finding his mom in the stands.

The story of the woman caught in adultery from John chapter 8 is one of the most beloved stories of Jesus in the Bible. It is a clash between law, shame, and power on one side—and the mercy of Jesus on the other. The Pharisees tried to trap Jesus in a “no-win” scenario: uphold Moses' law and break Roman law, or show mercy and appear soft on sin. Jesus disarmed them with one sentence, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone,” and left them trapped in their own hypocrisy.The real turning point isn't the debate with the Pharisees but the moment of encounter between Jesus and the woman. Her wrong road—humiliation and manipulation—led her to the right place: standing face to face with Jesus. And in that moment, misery met mercy. Jesus didn't excuse sin, but neither did He condemn her. Instead, He extended forgiveness and called her to transformation.The message for us: Even the wrong roads can lead us to the right place when they lead us to Jesus, and whenever misery meets mercy, Jesus offers a trade: guilt for grace, condemnation for freedom, misery for mercy.

Paul and Erin discuss two films about obsessive fandom: Rob Reiner's 1990 Stephen King adaptation MISERY, and Tony Scott's 1996 De Niro/Snipes thriller THE FAN.

Seven horror heavyweights enter, but only one leaves with the crown! From the flesh-hungry dead of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD to the desert-burrowing Graboids of TREMORS, from cursed anthologies in TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE to Annie Wilkes' brutal obsession in MISERY, 1990 pulled no punches. Add in the skin-crawling swarm of ARACNOPHOBIA, the demonic dread of THE EXORCIST III, and the monstrous outsiders of NIGHTBREED, and you've got one hell of a fight. Which film rules them all? Join us as we break them down, limb by limb. It's about to get Spooky!

Misery is manufactured and dark forces continue to profit from it. But our light does not die. Let's root ourselves in truth. It will always outlast the empire of lies. The kingdom of God is not confusion, but clarity. In Syria, a one time terrorist is now a statesman. When governments play with human lives. The Spiral Case. Inuit population control from Denmark in the 90's. Implants for twelve year olds. Zero informed consent. Considered too stupid. Compensation is in process. Implementing the eugenics book. Add an extra zero to the numbers. Trump is pressuring them. Child health care at it's worst. Scary similarities to the Covid policies. It's almost like colonialism. Oh, and we funded Smartmatic in Venezuela. A history of USA overthrow policy. Are there voices bold enough to speak out? A historical Syrian speech at the UN. Operation Cyclone is the precedent. It was dripping everywhere with everything. Israel has other plans. It's not just Gaza. Iran nukes are now in play. The status of our assets is constantly changing. Ireland is in the censorship news. Sometimes in intelligence, the environment is the message. Always take the high level and skeptical view. Those skills will serve us all very well in the future.

The Boomer & Gio show was packed: the Mets kept flopping while Judge smashed his way past 50 again and Raleigh hit 60, sparking steroid jokes from Dan in Carteret. Jaxson Dart was named Giants starter as Daboll defended the call, with Russ Wilson earning praise for his support and charity work. There was talk of Springer crying conspiracy, Ryder Cup drama, and even a Long Island kid running for nearly 500 yards. Off the field, Hoffman stirred things with a funeral text, Gio ranted about EarPods and talk-to-text, Paul from Yonkers basked in viral fame, and Boomer's pilgrim outfit stole the “Moment of the Day.”

Send us a textIn today's episode, I'm chatting with Kate Angelo, an autodidactic polymath with a remarkable story. As a child, Kate was a bookworm, dog groomer, exotic pet wrangler, horse trainer, and even a teenage pool shark. At one point, her family even owned a lion, though they quickly learned that lions don't make great house pets! After aging out of foster care, Kate broke into tech during the height of the dot-com boom before stepping into her next chapter as a Publishers Weekly bestselling author. Alongside her husband, she champions stronger marriages through their nonprofit, Marriage Minute, and her romantic suspense novels reflect her belief that hope and healing can be found even in life's fiercest trials. We are here today to discuss her latest novel, Girl Lost. In our conversation, Kate and I talk about the importance of learning how to have real, face-to-face conversations—especially in close relationships. We also explore:Episode Highlights:Writing romantic suspense with emotionally rich, flawed characters.Mentorship for young people navigating tough beginnings.Why hard conversations are key to building healthy relationships.Tips for approaching those conversations with empathy and clarity.Why she loves the freedom of reading on her Kindle.Kate's perspective is full of wisdom, honesty, and encouragement.

After the run of their incredible show "Let Me Be Frank," we couldn't wait to have them on to promote the idea that the show is now over. We cover everything from what qualifies someone to be a therapist, the eroticism of the normal couple, and whether it's healthier to look at dicks or old photos of Kristin Davis all day long.

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 133 –  Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the woods around the old monastery in Cumberland, Rhode Island, in search of nine ghosts said to haunt this forest. Back in March of 1676 during the King Philip's War, something horrific happened on these grounds, and though that may be the beginning of the haunt, it's not the end of the story. More than a century later something happened that made a bad place worse. We're on the trail of ghostly apparitions and disembodied screams at Nine Men's Misery.
