    This week I sat down with Madison Dixon from Mississippi State's Agricultural Autonomy Institute. Now if that sounds fancy, it is .. but trust me, this is one of the most down to earth conversations you'll hear about where drones and farming are headed. Madison's not only an expert with over 1,800 hours in the air, he's also a 5th generation Mississippi farmer.   We covered everything from using drones in agriculture, to how these “uncrewed aircraft systems” are changing the way we scout land, manage crops and even think about the outdoors.    Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt:  Instagram: @ffodpodcast Instagram: @moplandforsale Twitter: @FistDirt TikTok: @originalturkeythug Instagram : @CuzStrickland Twitter: @CuzStrickland Facebook: @CuzStrickland YouTube: Cuz411

    Our next Terrified Together is with friend of the podcast, Kaydra from Perplexity: A Mystery Podcast! During this collab, we dive into two compelling listener submissions that took us from the Mississippi countryside to New Jersey suburbs. Emma from Mississippi shared her incredible journey from being terrified of everything paranormal to becoming fascinated by it, starting with a dramatic UFO sighting in 2012 that had her mother calling both the police and their preacher. Her story spans nearly a decade of encounters, including mysterious couch-climbing sounds and shadow figures that left us questioning what forces might be following her through different homes. Our second story came from AI, who introduced us to "Hugh" - perhaps the most polite ghost we've ever encountered on the show. This shadow figure with a hat and briefcase seemed content to coexist peacefully with the family until a skeptical friend made some unfortunate comments during a graduation party.

    Mississippi has been received tens of millions of dollars in opioid settlements each year since 2022, and the use of those dollars has been mostly a mystery. But a Mississippi Today investigation this summer found that of over $124 million the state has received, less than $1 million has been used by public officials to address addiction. Managing editor Kate Royals and mental health reporter Allen Siegler speak with Tricia Christensen, a nationally recognized leader in overdose prevention and opioid settlement spending from Tennessee, about how this compares to other states and what it means for Mississippians harmed by the overdose epidemic.

    Aileen Clark of Uy Que Horror is back to join us for a look at two truly unhinged scare films. In the 1960s and 70s churches occasionally produced low budget morality tales and scare movies to frighten their congregations into going back to church if they feel like they're slacking off. The problem is that they were made by people who didn't know how to make movies with casts of non-actors and extremely low budgets. They were cheap and terrible and everyone hated watching them. Along came Ron and June Ormond and their son Tim, the first family of exploitation, teamed up with Reverend Estus W. Pirkle, a charismatic fundamentalist preacher from Mississippi to adapt Pirkle's fire and brimstone sermon If Footmen Tire You What Will Horses Do that threatened easily frightened Christians with seeking out draconian churches that shunned anything looking like empathy and service in favor of a hard line position against all things communism. In the sequel, The Burning Hell, Estus Pirkle has decided that his last sermon didn't put enough terror in the hearts of Christians over going to hell so here's one that's literally all about how much hell sucks and how you definitely want to accept Jesus Christ into your heart so you don't go there. These fiery sermons are illustrated with scenes of trashy, gory violence that you definitely don't expect to find in movies meant for fragile, easily offended Christian people. They are completely weird and hilarious.Join the Bring Me The Axe Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/snkxuxzJ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support Bring Me The Axe! on Patreon:https://patreon.com/bringmetheaxepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Bring Me The Axe merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/bring-me-the-axe-podcast/⁠⁠

Some Division, I was a one-man show and responsible for half of the country east of the Mississippi. In this episode, I detail my account call at the famous Sparks Steakhouse in Manhattan. It would become even more infamous a year later when Paul (Big Paul) Castellano would be whacked sitting in his car outside of the restaurant in a Mob-related reputedly ordered by John Gotti.This account call posed an immediate challenge to both my instincts and sales ability. However, I put to the test what I believed based on my experience, and that was, most people buy wine based on the way it smells, not on how it tastes.Take a listen or read the transcript.Thanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast.

    If a law is literally impossible to follow, it undermines the legitimacy of the legal system itself. Decentralized social network platform Mastodon says it can't comply with Mississippi's age verification law. A law that cannot be complied with doesn't regulate behavior, instead it criminalizes existence. In this case, the law is less about shaping user behavior than about shaping which platforms survive.

    Kyle Rowland and Kenny Neal join me on episode 143 for a retrospective on James ‘Mr Superharp' Cotton.Born in 1935 on the Bonnie Blue plantation in Mississippi, James Cotton received his first harmonica from his mother and learnt by ear, captivated by Sonny Boy Williamson II's King Biscuit Time broadcasts. From nine to sixteen he lived with Sonny Boy, then played with Howlin' Wolf before holding the harmonica chair in the Muddy Waters' band for twelve years. Striking out solo in the late 1960s, he spent the next forty five years releasing acclaimed records and delivering explosive live shows, powered by a tireless work ethic and boundless energy.

    SHOW NOTES: Welcome to The Money Pit and another episode of home improvement tips, with everything from wood care to landscape borders to fall planting in your garden. Plus, we've got expert advice for DIYers who reach out with their calls and emails. - Seasonal Wood Care: We'll walk you through simple steps to inspect, clean, and seal your deck, outdoor stairs, and wood trim, preparing them for the harsh fall and winter weather to ensure their longevity. - DIY Concrete Landscape Borders: Discover how to create stylish and functional decorative borders for your flower beds, driveways, and walkways using Quikrete products, adding instant curb appeal to your yard. - Fall Planting for a Spring Garden: Learn the secrets to a vibrant spring garden by planting now, including choosing bulbs like tulips and daffodils, and how to best prepare your garden beds for success.   Q & A: - Russ from West Virginia called about flickering dining room lights when his electric water heater activates. We explained that this is likely due to the water heater's high current draw causing a voltage drop, which can make finicky LED bulbs flicker. - Cindy from Ohio asked if she could paint her cedar shingle siding. We advised that painting is a permanent commitment and suggested a solid color stain as an alternative for adding color while still allowing the wood to be seen. - Patrilla from Louisiana inquired about installing new flooring over existing sheet linoleum in her kitchen. We shared that many new floating products can be installed directly over the existing floor, often with a thin underlayment. - James from Mississippi wanted to cut a hole in his deck for an inflatable pool on a slope. We discussed the importance of ensuring the deck's structural integrity by adjusting supports and addressing the ground's grading to create a flat base for the pool. - David emailed about wall cracks and nail pops appearing two years after his home inspection. We reassured him that these are typically normal cosmetic signs of house movement and offered simple DIY fixes like spackling and re-nailing.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?
