Great conversions.   Quote of the Week   "Heroes didn't leap tall buildings or stop bullets with an outstretched hand; they didn't wear boots and capes. They bled, and they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were impossibly knotted, they could untangle someone else's. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back."   ― Jodi Picoult, Second Glance   ------   Thank you for tuning in!   Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

Needle-Free Peptides, US Manufacturing, BPC-157, Thymosin Alpha-1, GLP-1s, Microneedle Patches, and How to Avoid Contaminated Peptides Peptides are one of the most powerful tools in biohacking and anti-aging medicine, and until now, most people couldn't access them safely, legally, or without a needle. This episode changes that. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Go to Aminoinnovations.com and use “asprey20” for a discount through the next 7 days Host Dave Asprey sits down with Justin Kirkland, a longevity medicine expert with over 30 years in drug development and pharmaceutical innovation. Kirkland holds multiple drug synthesis and formulation patents, has founded multiple pharmaceutical companies, and is one of the few people in the world manufacturing peptides entirely on US soil, controlling every step of the synthesis process from raw amino acids to finished product. If you want to understand what is really inside your peptides and why it matters for your longevity and human performance, he is the person to listen to. Dave and Justin go deep on why most peptides on the gray market contain dangerous residual compounds that can spike liver enzymes and cause real harm, why Chinese-sourced APIs are not always what they claim to be, and how a new generation of needle-free delivery systems including microneedle patches and auto-injectors is making peptide therapy accessible to anyone serious about longevity and human performance. They also cover how AI and functional medicine are converging to make peptide protocols personalized based on genetics and microbiome status, why the thymus gland is one of the most overlooked anti-aging targets in the body, and what the suppression of peptide research reveals about who really controls your access to health tools. You Will Learn: Why many gray market peptides contain toxic residual acids that damage the liver and how to identify clean products How microneedle patches and auto-injectors are replacing traditional injections for peptide delivery Which peptides are most effective for longevity, immune system repair, and human performance including BPC-157, Thymosin Alpha-1, and growth hormone secretagogues Why your genetics and gut microbiome determine whether a peptide will work for you at all How the thymus gland controls your immune system and why it disappears by your mid-20s What the suppression of peptide research tells you about Big Pharma's control over your supplement and nootropics access Why US-manufactured peptides represent a new standard for safety and quality in biohacking How AI is transforming personalized peptide protocols in functional medicine Which peptides are overhyped and which ones actually move the needle on anti-aging and recovery How to store, mix, and dose peptides correctly to avoid the mistakes most people using them are making right now Thank you to our sponsors! - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.comand use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - The One Device | Use code DAVE for $10 off at theonedevice.com/dave - Fatty15 is on a mission to support Healthy Aging for All, including all ages and stages of life.

His role is to make you realize the doom and glory of knowing who you are and what you are.

The impact of hormone imbalance on our psychology and behaviour has been dismissed – until now.  Let's stop diminishing the way we feel because of our hormones, by uttering those three little words: “I'm just hormonal”, and start embracing the power you can have over them.  Elle Sera supports thousands of women to reclaim their hormones, including myself.

Darks and lights in them. Everyone is part of a connected cosmic system. Part earth and sea, wind and fire, with some salt and dust swimming in them. We have a universe within ourselves that mimics the universe outside. None of us are just black or white, or never wrong and always right. No one. No one exists without polarities.

Looking for a financial planner?  → PlanWithJesse.com Jesse is joined by Andrew Giancola—host of The Personal Finance Podcast—for a fast-paced, opinionated conversation tackling some of the most debated ideas in investing and retirement planning. Andrew makes a strong case for simplicity, arguing that a portfolio built primarily on stocks and bonds remains one of the most effective and least stressful ways to build wealth, while cautioning against the complexity and hidden costs of alternatives like real estate, crypto, and commodities. The discussion explores why cash is a poor long-term asset due to inflation and opportunity cost, the importance of staying fully invested, and the behavioral benefits of keeping your strategy simple. They also unpack the reality of stock market returns—highlighting that only a tiny fraction of companies drive the majority of wealth creation, reinforcing the argument for broad diversification rather than stock picking. On the retirement side, Andrew challenges common misconceptions around the 4% rule, reframing it as a conservative floor rather than a complete strategy, and introduces the "retirement spending smile," where spending is highest early, dips in mid-retirement, and rises again later due to healthcare costs. Throughout, the conversation blends practical advice with behavioral insight, emphasizing that the best financial plan is one that is simple, intentional, and easy to stick with over the long run. Key Takeaways: • A small percentage of stocks drive the vast majority of long-term market returns. Broad diversification ("buying the whole haystack") is the most reliable way to capture market returns. • Adding alternative assets often increases complexity without improving outcomes. • Cash is valuable for short-term needs but harmful as a long-term holding. Inflation steadily erodes the purchasing power of cash over time. Opportunity cost is one of the biggest risks of holding excess cash. • The 4% rule is best used as a conservative baseline—not a full withdrawal strategy. • Most retirees follow a "retirement spending smile" pattern over time. Early retirement years tend to have higher discretionary spending (travel, experiences). Mid-retirement spending often declines as lifestyles slow down. Late retirement expenses rise again due to healthcare and long-term care needs. • Investing in assets with intrinsic value (stocks, bonds) provides a more grounded strategy.

With host Scott Hennen still away in Norway, guest host Pastor Andrew Slettin joins Kevin Flynn for a fast-paced Tuesday edition of What's On Your Mind. The show tackles the escalating local political scene as Fargo City Commissioner and Mayoral candidate Michelle Turnburg stops by to discuss her plan to fix the city's $1.3 billion debt and clean up drug paraphernalia in public parks. The conversation shifts from local to global as former radio host Chris Berg dials in from Los Angeles to discuss the "Spencer Pratt for Mayor" phenomenon and a chilling report on why 90% of top AI developers don't believe humans have a soul. Later, Representative Ben Koppelman and former Commissioner Tony Gehrig weigh in on North Dakota's fractured primary system and the push for a ward-based government in Fargo. Finally, Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak provides an update from D.C. on year-round E15 fuel and the "Trump Accounts" savings program for newborns. Standout Moments & Timestamps 00:03:08 – Needles in the Neighborhood Mayoral candidate Michelle Turnburg addresses the "appalling" rise of drug paraphernalia in Fargo, recounting a story of a grandmother finding an uncapped needle in a private backyard. She vows to end the city's needle and crack pipe giveaway programs immediately if elected. 00:10:20 – The "Soul-less" AI Engineers Chris Berg breaks down a staggering Squawk Box clip where only 5 out of 50 top AI scientists raised their hands when asked if they believe humans have a soul. Andrew and Chris discuss the dangers of building the future of technology on a foundation without a spiritual or moral compass. 00:13:30 – The Trojan Horse of Information Pastor Andrew and Chris Berg explore the "Spirit of the Antichrist" in modern messaging, warning that agendas are often only revealed once a message has been fully accepted by the culture. 00:16:30 – Senator Ben Sasse's Life Lessons In a heavy, reflective moment, the team discusses former Senator Ben Sasse's recent pancreatic cancer diagnosis and his 60 Minutes interview where he reveals his biggest life regret: spending too many nights in hotel rooms rather than having more children and building a "family compound." 00:25:27 – The Identity Crisis of the GOP Representative Ben Koppelman discusses the "fractured" state of North Dakota's Republican party, where candidates can get on the ballot via signatures without party endorsement, leading to an identity crisis over what it actually means to be a Republican in…

DL, Evil, and Rachel dig into System of a Down's Toxicity (2001) — one of the biggest metal albums ever made, debuting at #1 the week before 9/11 and getting Chop Suey immediately pulled from radio.The central argument: Toxicity is not a nu-metal record. It's one of the most coherent political albums ever made — a sustained meditation on apathy, incarceration, the Armenian-American experience, and what happens when society stops giving a shit about each other. Prison Song, Needles, ATWA, and "somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep" hit completely different when you actually listen to what Serj Tankian is saying.Along the way: why "Chop Suey" was originally titled "Suicide" (and how the rename was pure SOAD genius), the story of Rick Rubin seeing them at the Viper Room in 1997 and immediately knowing, Daron Malakian's insistence the album fit on one side of a tape at exactly 40 minutes, the time signatures and hemiola that make Toxicity sound heavier than it should, and the direct sonic DNA connecting Faith No More's Epic piano outro to Chop Suey's ending.The influence arc: System of a Down directly cited Faith No More as a key influence — this episode is part of a two-week influence-to-influence series starting with The Real Thing.Scores: Rachel 10/10, Evil 10/10, DL 9.8/10.Part of Verse Chorus Verse's album-by-album deep dive series.System of a Down,Toxicity,Chop Suey,Serj Tankian,Daron Malakian,Rick Rubin,metal album review,Armenian rock,2001 albums,political metal,Faith No More influence,music podcast

Welcome back. If you heard Part 1, you already know that the Traveling Spark Station isn't about content — it's about being present. It's about showing a child that the person standing in front of them finds the world interesting and wants to explore it together. In Part 2, we're going to explore two areas that might surprise you: math and the arts. I say "surprise you" because math has a reputation for being dry and intimidating, and the arts sometimes get dismissed as less important than "real" subjects. The Traveling Spark Station disagrees with both of those ideas. Math is everywhere — in the cookies you're counting out, the nails you're hammering, the fractions in a recipe, the shapes on a walk around the block. When you make math real and connect it to something a child already loves, it stops being a subject and starts being a tool. And the arts? Creativity, imagination, and making things with your hands are among the most powerful ways children (and adults) make sense of the world. From crocheting white blood cells to building fairy houses in Yellowstone, you'll see exactly what I mean. Pack your basket. Let's keep going.

What makes a system feel trustworthy—results, lineage, or the way it brings you into the resonance of what's happening?Philip Suger didn't start with Saam acupuncture. He was in Beijing in 2010, following a thread that led him to Wang Ju-Yi and channel palpation—hands on the body, feeling where things change and where they resolve. Later, back in the States, he found himself working with patients who improved but those changes were not lasting. That got him began circling back to a method he'd once dismissed: four needles, arranged through a set of relationships rather than point functions. It didn't make a lot of sense. But people were reporting results.After some study with Toby Daly he got more curious, and that sent him searching for information in Chinese.Michael Brown, has a keen interest in tracking down old texts and translating them for the world English speaking acupuncturists. Together, they have spent the past few years working on a translation of a book that traces the history of Saam, some of the luminary practitioners along the way, and the way these pre-modern doctors used the Four-Needles.There's been more than a little development of the Saam method since that legendary monk had his cultivated insights into medicine. One thing for sure, four needles with the right diagnosis, it can make a big difference for our patients.

In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," Chris dives deep into the pressing issue of the Colorado River water crisis. As the lifeblood of many thriving cities and fertile fields in the southwestern United States, the Colorado River is now at the heart of a controversial and complex debate over water rights and sustainability in the face of an ongoing drought. But many participants in the debate overlook a surprising product created with the majority of the Colorado River's water. Key Takeaways: The Colorado River is a critical water source facing significant stress due to prolonged drought and historical policy misestimations. Alfalfa and other cattle feed crops consume over 50% of the Colorado River’s water, with substantial portions exported overseas. The 1922 Colorado River Compact's archaic provisions challenge present water rights negotiations, significantly impacting Indigenous and Mexican stakeholders. Environmental change can be driven by altering consumer habits, reducing the demand for water-intensive agricultural products like beef. Efforts are underway to conserve water within the river’s biggest irrigation districts, though solutions require collective policy and personal lifestyle adjustments. Notable Quotes: "The Compact of 1922 vastly overestimated the amount of water that would be in the Colorado River in an average year." "55% of all the water used in the Colorado River Basin is used to irrigate cattle feed crops." "An acre foot of water makes 650 cheeseburgers."

Episode Artwork by Carl Dennis Buell. In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles," host Chris Clarke shares a poignant and introspective narrative about his early years in the Mojave Desert, weaving together personal reflections and environmental insights. Chris takes listeners on a journey back to 2008, reflecting on his time in the small town of Cima, California, and the unique experiences that have shaped his understanding of desert ecosystems and the vital partnerships within them. Chris explores the intriguing history of the Joshua tree, its interaction with the extinct Shasta ground sloth, and the fascinating complexities of ecological relationships over time. With vivid storytelling, he describes the challenges faced by these iconic desert plants in the face of climate change, highlighting the interconnectedness of species and the profound impact of historical events on modern-day ecology. Key Takeaways: Chris Clarke draws a compelling parallel between his personal journey and the ecological history of the Mojave Desert, emphasizing the importance of storytelling in understanding environmental issues. The episode highlights the critical role that extinct species, like the Shasta ground sloth, played in the dispersal of Joshua tree seeds, illustrating the interconnectedness of past and present ecosystems. Through reflections on climate change, Chris underscores the urgent need for proactive conservation measures to safeguard desert landscapes and their unique biodiversity. The story of Cima, California, serves as a microcosm of broader desert challenges, including invasive species and human impacts on fragile environments. Personal anecdotes and historical insights combine to create an engaging and thought-provoking narrative, reinforcing the value of desert ecosystems and the need for their protection. Notable Quotes: "You know you're in a small town when your post office box number is lower than your age." "Joshua trees are once again likely to die out in at least the southern parts of their range. But this time around, they have no sloths to carry their descendants northward." "Live with someone long enough, and invariably, even after the relationship ends, an image of the other remains behind." "The desert tree must now somehow manage on its own." "This gentleman holds two mutually contradictory beliefs in his head, without noticing the incongruity." Resources: More information on the Shasta ground sloth and its kin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothrotheriops Rodent Mediated Seed Dispersal of Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia) For those who cherish the intricate narratives of the desert and its enduring mysteries, this episode of "90 Miles from Needles" is a must-listen.

About the Guest(s): Ruth Nolan: Ruth Nolan is a distinguished poet, educator, and an ardent desert advocate residing in the Joshua Tree area. With extensive experience living in Coachella Valley and the Mojave Desert, she has become a central figure in desert literature and education. Ruth serves as a Professor of English and Creative Writing at College of the Desert and was honored as the first Mojave Desert Literary Laureate in 2021. She is the editor of "No Place for a Puritan: The Literature of California's Deserts" and the author of "After the Dome Fire". Her work emphasizes the cultural and environmental significance of the desert. Episode Summary: In this compelling episode of "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Ruth Nolan, examining the impacts of art festivals on the desert community, specifically focusing on the High Desert Art Fair near Joshua Tree. Clarke and Nolan critically analyze the language and intentions behind a recent LA Times article that portrayed Pioneertown's art fair as a cultural mecca, akin to the Hamptons or Marfa. This raised significant concerns among locals about the gentrification and ecological footprint on their cherished desert. Through an insightful conversation, Nolan shares her discontent with the article's portrayal of the desert as an exploitable blank slate, intended as a playground for affluent city-dwellers. Nolan, rooted in a deep appreciation for the desert's unique charm, critiques the growing trend of large-scale cultural incursions that disregard the needs and voices of local residents. The episode further explores the concept of desert protection by urging new inhabitants and visitors to approach the desert with respect and stewardship rather than seeking to transform it into an urban extension. Key Takeaways: Gentrification Concerns: Ruth Nolan expresses concern over the influx of affluent outsiders transforming the Joshua Tree area, highlighting community displacement and environmental implications. Media Influence: The interview critiques media portrayals which often serve as promotional content rather than objective journalism, significantly impacting local perceptions and realities. Local Voices Matter: The need for community involvement and acknowledgment of local voices in discussions about development and conservation is emphasized. Desert's Unique Identity: Nolan advocates for the protection and appreciation of the desert's intrinsic beauty and fragility, pushing back against external visions imposing changes. Environmental and Social Stewardship: Encouraging newcomers to embrace sustainable practices and support local conservation efforts is vital for the desert's future. Notable Quotes: "Ask what you can do for the desert, not what the desert can do for you." – Ruth Nolan "Are we not learning that there's nowhere else to go after this?" – Ruth Nolan "The magic's already here. Just get out of your own head and go listen." – Ruth Nolan "There's a difference between moving here and connecting and respecting, and importing yourself because you have a vision." – Ruth Nolan "Eventually, what had looked like a monotonous expanse of boring, scraggly shrubs reveals itself as a magnificent expanse of boring, scraggly shrubs." — Chris Clarke Resources: The Border Chronicle: What Do Argentina's Disappeared Have to Do With Unidentified Migrants on the U.S.-Mexico Border?

Fresh off a 56 point drubbing in Barossa, Sparrow and Needles are back!! Some say they're fickle fancasters — others just busy professionals...Regardless, they love to spend time with Nordic Viking Warriors and Playful Killer Whales discussing all things Orange Army, so it's a PREMIUM full house episode this week: Sparrow, Needles, Ragnar Lothbrok and Orca. Generally talking over each other, sometimes making coherent points. Always unfiltered.So...., we got some troops back and all of a sudden we're brilliant at football and a delight to watch. Funny that. Turns out Stormy is quite good, as is Cadman. In fact, if there was a drug that administered the same dopamine hit as watching Callaghan break out of the centre square and land a perfectly weighted kick into the outstretched mittens of Cadman, we'd all be addicts. Better than Meth.Speaking of which, GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY IS A FARCE.... according to avid fan Brett, who writes in to share his thoughts on changing our name. We all generally disagree, but love the input nonetheless — keep it coming Brett and Scotty.On to the Massive Game this week — the Battle Of The Bridge (always was, always will be), LFG!!! Tough one. Crowd will have specks of orange in the sea of red, just how we like it at the SCG. Hopefully we see the return to form of TFG (who showed glimpes last week) for another Brett Kirk medal. (Thank F*K Luke Parker is lone gone...)Enjoy the Friday Night Lights at the SCG, good luck if you're there looking for love, and remember: Never Surrender.----To get in contact, drop an email, comment on Spotify or message on X.We love reviews or ratings.Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thesquinterspodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: NeverSurrenderByTheSquintersX: The SquintersInstagram: gws_squintersFB: thesquintersTikTok: the.squinters

In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles," Chris describes how the rise of the internet and profit-driven media ownership have decimated local news outlets and journalists' jobs. Within this context, Chris introduces a new Fellowship for Desert Reporting, aiming to foster in-depth, contextual journalism that connects desert communities to important environmental narratives. Chris Clarke recounts his experience in journalism, emphasizing the need for deep reporting that goes beyond superficial coverage of isolated events. He explains the fellowship's goals of nurturing new voices, providing aspiring journalists with the support and resources to develop expertise, and encouraging more comprehensive reporting on environmental and social issues affecting desert regions. The episode also touches on the dwindling support for local journalism and the potential transformative impact of community-driven media initiatives. As Chris notes, "You can't understand one project or one event without understanding the system it exists within," highlighting the necessity of systemic approaches to reporting on the desert's complex challenges. Key Takeaways: The substantial decline in traditional journalism has left many communities without comprehensive, contextual reporting. The Fellowship for Desert Reporting aims to transform how desert stories are told, emphasizing long-term perspectives and deep, systemic analysis. Chris Clarke explains that understanding environmental events requires a grasp of the systems and structures that underpin them. The podcast seeks to diversify its reporting by bringing in new voices with local expertise in desert communities through the fellowship.

I wore it skiing at Sunday River.   In My Travels I shared about our recent ski trip to Sunday River in Maine. We enjoyed dinner at the Brick & Stone Tavern in Rumford on Friday night, Dance party at VRBO house Friday night, Steam Mill Brewing in Bethel (right near the mountain) on Saturday night and breakfast at Terry & Maxine's in Turner, ME Riley and I visited the Boston Public Market's 2026 Fiberfest on March 22. I think they had about 20 vendors there, some free demos, and a great atmosphere. Parking is only $3 for 3 hours.

At the igloo we ordered a chocolate chip cookie from the gluten free food truck and it was HUGE (and delicious). There was a very low ceiling in our rental house- and I just looked back at photos to get ready for to record and there's a funny one of Riley and me touching the ceiling- I knew Hattie jumped in for the last one but I didn't realize she was holding a kids sized pool cue to touch the ceiling too! Hilarious. Jeff, Megg, Riley and I all did a word search on the breakfast menu after skiing- we all took it so seriously which was just so fun! Lost power after a big wind storm, but it came back on earlier than expected- Dan and I still went out to dinner at fav local Italian restaurants (pro tip- it was a great choice on St. Patrick's Day) Broadway soundtrack for Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York came out on the SAME day as the Project Hail Mary movie released in theater (yes, we went opening day).

This week, we finish up this wild story with Steve, getting back into the NHL, only to barely play, and end up unemployed. He fills in this employment gap by going down to Bolivia, and trying to smuggle cocaine into Canada, with a wild & fun excuse. He does his prison time, only to get back into drugs, and end up in more trouble, including running an "escort service" that definitely wasn't legal. All of this, and his sad, pitiful ending!   Keep telling NHL teams that you're ready to stop getting in trouble, tell a judge that you didn't know there was a lot of cocaine, in your shoes, and destroy your body with drugs with Steve "Mental Case" Durbano - Part 2!!   Check us out, every Tuesday!
