Herb Shirmer Alien Abduction | Paranormal Podcast In this episode, we explore one of the most detailed and credible alien abduction cases from the 1960s—the extraordinary encounter of Herb Schirmer, a 22-year-old police officer in Ashland, Nebraska. On December 3, 1967, during a routine midnight patrol after wrangling an escaped bull back into its pen, Schirmer spotted flashing red lights at the junction of Highway 6 and 63. What he initially thought was a broken-down truck revealed itself to be something far more extraordinary: a metallic, disc-shaped craft hovering just feet above the road. Within moments of shining his high beams on the object, Schirmer's world changed forever, leading to a documented 20-25 minute time gap that he couldn't account for—and physical evidence in the form of a mysterious red welt on his neck that appeared exactly where he would later recall being touched by an alien device. Through hypnotic regression sessions with Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle years later, Schirmer recovered detailed memories of what happened during those missing minutes, including being taken aboard the craft by gray-suited beings with cat-like eyes and communication antennas. The entities revealed shocking information about their surveillance activities on Earth, their breeding analysis program, and their mission to prevent humanity from destroying the planet—even demonstrating how they extract electrical power from transmission lines.

Is there reason to panic at Nebraska?
Sam reacts to the Dylan Raiola fallout and speculates where Nebraska goes from here.
Are we sure he'll be the starting QB at Nebraska, next year?
Dylan Raiola wasn't it at Nebraska.
-Nebraska is in the postseason for the 2nd straight year after a long drought of no bowl games---because they weren't very good---but they still don't have a true signature win and we discuss the narrative of 29 straight losses to ranked teams-Sip wrote that it's ‘perplexing' for why Nebraska refuses to embrace the underdog mentality---well, they are 16.5 point underdogs to Utah, so they'll have to embrace it to win the game---but why can't it be the case more often?

-The news comes at no big surprise to most fans or media, but now it's out there…2 years for Raiola with the 2nd year cut short by injury, and now you ask the question: is Nebraska looking for 2 QBs this offseason in the portal or one, if TJ Lateef stays?-Early rumors were Texas Tech being a possible suitor for Raiola…what a win that would be for him as the Big 12 champs they are…-Also, Jake's Dolphins played last night on Monday Night Football at Pittsburgh…did they win in the cold or lose as expected?

The Southeastern 16 crew talks about one of the better bowl matchups in the country: Vanderbilt and Iowa in the ReliaQuest bowl. We preview and predict outcomes on the game, including the following topics: You can prepare for Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia… but can you really prepare for what he brings on any given day given his abilities and a penchant for making plays no one else does? The Heisman runner-up had a fantastic season. Tight end Eli Stowers won the Mackey Award and is Pavia's top target. Running backs Sedrick Alexander and MK Young are also capable threats for the Commodores. Iowa's defense was stout. It allowed just 15.2 points and 271 yards per game and was tough against the run and the pass, and held Oregon to 18 points. Iowa's offense put up 40 points against Nebraska in the finale. The Hawkeyes are led by dual-threat quarterback Mark Gronowski and running back Kamari Moulton (783 rushing yards). Iowa has the Remington Award winner in center Logan Jones, an All-American in guard Beau Stephens and a second-team All-Big 10 tackle in Gennings Dunker. Both teams are great on special teams. Iowa's Kaden Wetjen is one of the country's top return men, while Vanderbilt, led by kicker Brock Taylor and punter Nick Haberer, is excellent in all areas of special teams. Vanderbilt increasingly went up-tempo late in the year with success, making the “over” a sneaky play here.

Interview Date: August 24th, 2025Episode Summary:In this captivating conversation, Juliet Prowse, author of Born to Dance, joins The Business of Dance Podcast to share the untold story of her legendary aunt, the late Juliet Prowse — a trailblazing British-South African dancer and actress who conquered Hollywood, Las Vegas, and Broadway.From performing alongside Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley in Can-Can and G.I. Blues to headlining her own million-dollar Vegas residency, Big Juliet redefined what it meant to be a female entertainer in a male-dominated era. Little Juliet takes listeners behind the scenes of her research journey — discovering a red suitcase of letters, interviewing former collaborators, and piecing together the life of a woman who never waited for permission to shine.The discussion unpacks the discipline, athleticism, and business savvy that made Juliet Prowse one of the highest-paid performers of the 1970s, plus stories of her engagements to Sinatra, her friendship with Elvis, and her unstoppable work ethic that kept her dancing until her final days.This episode is perfect for dancers, musical-theatre artists, and history-minded creatives who want to learn from one of the greats — and be reminded that success is built on grit, artistry, and courage to create your own opportunities.Shownotes:(0:00) – Welcome & introduction to Juliet Prowse interview(3:00) – Little Juliet shares the story behind her famous name(13:18) – Discovering a red suitcase & inspiration to write Born to Dance(16:00) – Big Juliet's early Hollywood years & Vegas debut(21:03) – Athleticism, costuming, and Bob Mackie's extravagant designs(25:39) – Breaking barriers: creating her own Las Vegas show(31:22) – The million-dollar Desert Inn contract & Vegas legacy(36:29) – Life, love & rumors — Sinatra, Elvis, and beyond(41:23) – Performing through illness & leaving a lasting impact(1:03:00) – Lessons for today's dancers: hard work, creativity, & legacyBiography:Juliet Prowse never intended on becoming an author, but when she spotted a little red suitcase in her parents' attic, filled to the brim with articles about her famous aunt, the dancer/entertainer Juliet Prowse, she felt she just had to tell this story.As a seasoned communications professional, Juliet was used to writing, but to ensure the authenticity of her first book, Juliet waded through over 1 000 newspaper articles and letters, largely written by her dancing aunt to her mother (the author's grandmother), and spoke to over 20 people who had performed with Juliet. Known as Big Juliet and Little Juliet in the Prowse household, Little Juliet inherited her aunt's athleticism and became a South African runner, but she was never as graceful as her famous aunt who was born to dance.Juliet has an MBA from the University of Cape Town and a science degree from the University of Nebraska. She lives in Cape Town where she is an avid theatregoer and sports lover.Connect on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572702340283Website: www.julietprowse.com
#13 Illinois loses to #23 Nebraska on a snowy Saturday afternoon in Champaign. Jamarques Lawrence hit the tie-breaking buzzer beater with 0.2 seconds left, thwarting the Illini comeback bid. The main story? Brad Underwood's team looked lifeless, especially on defense where they gave up more than 1.3 points per possession. Strong offensive games from Kylan Boswell, Keaton Wagler, and Andrej Stojakovic weren't enough, as the Illinois frontcourt flat out stunk. Next up: Braggin' Rights vs. Missouri on December 22.

What if the strongest leaders in your school are already in the classroom and do not need a new title to make a bigger impact? In this inspiring episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with educator, author, and department chair Dr. Chris Jochum to unpack his book You Don't Have to Leave to Lead, that reframes teachers as highly skilled influencers, not “just” a teacher. Dr. Jochum shares how his journey from ESL and Spanish teacher to leading a large teacher education department shaped his belief that leadership is rooted in character, courage, and service, and that teachers already practice Fortune 500–level leadership every day in their classrooms. Listeners will learn how to strengthen their leadership identity, craft a personal mission statement that actually guides daily decisions, and approach conflict with adults using the same relational skills they use with students. Whether you are a first-year teacher or a veteran educator wondering about your next chapter, this conversation offers a clear first step, recognize the “superpowers” you already have and choose one small leadership behavior to intentionally grow this year so you can expand your influence without ever leaving the classroom. About Dr. Chris Jochum Dr. Chris Jochum currently serves as the Chair of the Department of Teacher Education at Fort Hays State University, where he leads a teacher preparation program of over 900 students.

In Episode 14, the KEF crew digs into the latest Nebraska coaching moves, who's out, who's in, where they came from, and why Matt Rhule is clearly tightening the screws heading into the next phase of the rebuild. We talk accountability, development, and why these moves feel less like panic and more like a program trying to grow up in a chaotic college football landscape.We also zoom out and look at the college football coaching carousel, the transfer portal madness, NIL pressure, and how Nebraska's approach compares to what's happening across the Big Ten and the rest of the country.No hot takes for clicks — just honest Husker talk, strong opinions, and the kind of conversation you'd have over a couple Bloody Marys on a Sunday morning.
