We're back, fresh off of public transportation because who the f&!# is paying NYC congestion pricing?! In this economy?! After Rory gives us a brief recap of going out to twirl his cane for his frat's founders day, we get into the controversy that's been running the internet all weekend - Joy Taylor, Skip Bayless, and the lawsuit against FS1 (14:14). Some things we believe, some we don't, and some we can't seem to agree on. Liangelo Ball has a viral song on his hands, so if you've heard our Patreon episode from yesterday, it seems Rory ACTUALLY deserves some flowers this time (48:45). Speaking of viral songs, Drake is back in the headlines and back in (some of) our hearts after a planned leak of a song he had seemingly dissing Drake has surfaced online (55:40). The team gives their honest opinions, does a slight lyric breakdown, and has some theories on who else might have caught a stray. Unlike Drake, Kanye isn't standing on business in his beef with Kai Cenat, which seems to have been solved with a post alluding to a rollout for a new project (1:22:50). Mal is standing on his assumption that it will be AI, and the team is split on whether AI will ruin music and whether Kanye will be the artist to spearhead that. Lil Baby's album isn't exactly garnering rave reviews - and the NRM cast is not here to disagree (1:38:00). Do you agree with them that this was Lil' Baby's last chance to dial up his relevancy again? Also discussed: a blatant post from Gunna's lawyer claiming his innocence (1:53:15), a rapper/idiot almost shooting himself and a podcast team (1:58:20), two voicemails asking for our advice on instances where the women are putting the men to shame (2:05:04), + more!For MORE Rory & Mal, make sure you subscribe to our Patreon community, for exclusive episodes, first access to tickets and merch sales, private live chats with the team, + more! https://www.patreon.com/newrorynmalFollow Rory: @ThisIsRoryFollow MAL: @MAL_ByTheWayFollow Demaris on YT: https://www.youtube.com/@DemarisG To watch the podcast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMALYouTube Don't forget to follow the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMAL Learn more about your ad choices.

If you haven't listened to the first part, we highly recommend listening to that first. You can find that on podcast platforms and our website! We know we've been a bit MIA but for good reason! There's a lot of amazing, game changing things coming out from NRM and we can't wait to share. Follow us on socials to stay tuned! ______________________ As Nik continues this series on rediscovering the Biblical account of the Christmas narrative, he challenges listeners to ask "Imagine you were a parent, or Jesus, in this story".

Happy Friday Gang! Rory insists on giving us an update on his sickness (and in addition, how his Karma is Beautiful), and the rest of us try to rationalize why Julian insists on going to a barber that hates him (2:33). This leads to a conversation on what names we would have if we race swapped, causing Rory to remember how he was endangered the other day being pulled over by a cop in Manhattan, as the straight white male he is (15:25). As we were recording this, there was absolute turmoil happening on the hip-hop timeline, as our selected representatives for black love, Remy Ma and Papoose, were feuding and airing dirty laundry for the world to see (35:50). Speaking of dirty laundry, mattress actress Lily Philips is under scrutiny for clips of her admitting to having difficulty with her self-inflicted feat of sleeping with over 100 men in under 24 hours, and the team is split on whether she had the right to stop after number 30 or not (52:41). Jamie Foxx's new special ‘What Had Happened Was' aired this week on Netflix to mixed reviews, and the team gives their opinion on whether it was entertaining or not (1:18:31). Caitlin Clark was named Time magazine's Athlete of the Year - did she deserve it (1:37:00)? And why are her supporters kicking her back in for the statement she made in the interview? Bill Belicheck is back in the game, and the guys break it down in to 'girl terms' for Demaris (1:45:27). We have voicemails (1:50:10)! Both are follow ups from previous callers, the first being with the guy who needed advice on how to break the co-dependency from his wife. This leads to a conversation about which NRM member will be the next to have children (or possibly, become a murderer, depends). The second voicemail is from a woman who believed her mother is lying about her biological father (2:03:45). We end the episode with predictions on who will headline the final Dreamville fest this spring, as well as some interesting predictions about Jay-Z and Beyonce's career paths moving forward (2:10:19).

Happy Friday Gang! The Apple Replays have dropped and the NRM team talks about what their lists are looking like.Soon after, they give honest opinions on the United Healthcare CEO that was killed in broad daylight in NYC, and what they think will happen next. Charlamagne had some comments about people defending Drake's lawsuit, and Andrew Schultz had some words in response to a Kendrick Lamar bar. Nick Cannon addresses Orlando Brown's comments about alleged fellatio between them. The trial for Daniel Penny (the ex marine who killed a man on NYC transit) is underway, and the guys wonder if they could ever be vigilantes. We have voicemails! The first is from a man who wants to go to Brazil against his wife's will, and the second is from a woman who has feelings about her cut of her parents will.

Charlamagne had some comments about people defending Drake's lawsuit (33:40), and Andrew Schultz had some words in response to a Kendrick Lamar bar (38:18). Nick Cannon addresses Orlando Brown's comments about alleged fellatio between them, and since he was diagnosed as a narcissist, we try to see if there were any in the office (58:44).

MUSTAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDD. Have yall heard the album yet? We have. After a quick recap about the Atlanta show, the guys get into their review of the new Kendrick Lamar project ‘GNX' (07:54). They also discuss whether there's another album coming, why we think Baby Keem isnt on the album, as well as whether Lil Wayne should respond or not. In the middle of our recording day, the news dropped that Drake was filing a motion against his licensing partner Universal Music Group, alleging that Kendrick's Not Like Us track was pushed by the label purposely to affect Drake in multiple ways (55:59). The team goes into explaining the article and allegations, and they also speak on what this could mean for the music industry in the future. Drake also went on a stream earlier this weekend, doubling down on his beef with a few r&b artists, and it brings up conversation about the media outlets Drake chooses to sit with and the criticism he's received in the past for it (1:12:06). Also discussed: Shaboozey getting snubbed by the CMA's (1:31:36), which NRM team member is the meanest, and the ozempic allegations being put on Lizzo (1:35:19). We have voicemails! The first one is from a guy who has developed a health condition in his mid twenties that he's embarrassed about (1:51:31), and the second is from a man who wants to know if anybody on the team has ever had a “right person, wrong time” scenario (2:02:07).For MORE Rory & Mal, make sure you subscribe to our Patreon community, for exclusive episodes, first access to tickets and merch sales, private live chats with the team, + more! https://www.patreon.com/newrorynmalFollow Rory: @ThisIsRoryFollow MAL: @MAL_ByTheWayFollow Julian: @Julian__nicholasFollow Demaris on YT: https://www.youtube.com/@DemarisG To watch the podcast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMALYouTube Don't forget to follow the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMAL Learn more about your ad choices.

In Japan, a country popularly perceived as highly secularized and technologically advanced, ontological assumptions about spirits (tama or tamashii) seem to be quite deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric. From ancestor cults to anime, spirits, ghosts, and other invisible dimensions of reality appear to be pervasive. In Spirits and Animism in Contemporary Japan (Bloomsbury Academic, 2019), international scholars from various backgrounds consider together this “invisible empire” and highlight the “agency of the intangible.” The contributors of this edited volume approach spirits and animism in contemporary Japan from diverse perspectives. Satō Hiroo opens the book with a chapter on the transformation in Japanese visions of the afterlife, the status of the dead, and regional traditions of memorialization. Andrea De Antoni looks further into the ontology of spirits via an investigation into recent cases of spirit possession (tsuki, hyōi) that is treated at the Kenmi Shrine in Shikoku. Jason Josephson-Storm traces both the European and Japanese genealogies of theorizing “primitive” civilizations and their beliefs in spirits, magic, and an animated nature. In Fabio Rambelli's chapter, a unique type of epistemological system for understanding the existence of spirits is introduced: Minataka Kumagusu's “Minakata mandala,” which involves Buddhist philosophy, Western science, and an awareness of the Japanese folk tradition all at the same time. In Ellen Van Goethem's chapter, she explores how and why there were widespread assumptions about how the city of Kyoto was animated by invisible agencies such as guardian spirits and the flow of qi (Jp. Ki). Carina Roth continues the discussion on enchanted landscapes by drawing our attention to “power spots” (pawā supotto) and “healing” forests as recent developments in contemporary Japanese religiosity. Focusing on the role of media in the public perceptions of new religious movements (NRMs) and their animistic positions, Ioannis Gaitanidis shows how the media paradoxically both helps to normalize animism as part of “traditional” Japanese culture while chastising animistic NRM's egregious behaviors. Concerning spirits in modern Japanese fiction, another type of powerful media in contemporary Japanese society, Rebecca Suter identifies in her chapter a “fantastic hesitation” that authors take on, which opens doors to the “undecidability of reality” that seems to be a main gateway to the spirit world. Centering on the media arts scene in Japan, Mauro Arrighi in his chapter highlights how animism serves as one of the main creative sources for contemporary artists. Then, Jolyon Thomas turns our focus to anime and their depictions of humanity's connection with nature. In doing so, he invites us to reflect on the term “animism” and how the spirits of anime are really rooted in late capitalist modernity with its attendant pleasures and woes. In the closing chapter, Andrea Castiglioni points out a growing tendency in recent Japanese films to focus on violent spirit entities (araburugami), rather than benign figures. He argues that this perhaps is related to the emergence of a new kind of national identity for Japan as a country that is uniquely able to control the unpredictability of nature and malignant invisible agencies. In this podcast episode, I spoke with the editor of this edited volume, Dr. Fabio Rambelli. Fabio Rambelli is a professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Daigengna Duoer is a PhD student at the Religious Studies Department, University of California, Santa Barbara. Her dissertation researches on transnational and transregional Buddhist networks connecting twentieth-century Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, Republican China, Tibet, and the Japanese Empire.

In Ellen Van Goethem's chapter, she explores how and why there were widespread assumptions about how the city of Kyoto was animated by invisible agencies such as guardian spirits and the flow of qi (Jp. Ki). Carina Roth continues the discussion on enchanted landscapes by drawing our attention to “power spots” (pawā supotto) and “healing” forests as recent developments in contemporary Japanese religiosity. Focusing on the role of media in the public perceptions of new religious movements (NRMs) and their animistic positions, Ioannis Gaitanidis shows how the media paradoxically both helps to normalize animism as part of “traditional” Japanese culture while chastising animistic NRM's egregious behaviors. Concerning spirits in modern Japanese fiction, another type of powerful media in contemporary Japanese society, Rebecca Suter identifies in her chapter a “fantastic hesitation” that authors take on, which opens doors to the “undecidability of reality” that seems to be a main gateway to the spirit world. Centering on the media arts scene in Japan, Mauro Arrighi in his chapter highlights how animism serves as one of the main creative sources for contemporary artists. Then, Jolyon Thomas turns our focus to anime and their depictions of humanity's connection with nature. In doing so, he invites us to reflect on the term “animism” and how the spirits of anime are really rooted in late capitalist modernity with its attendant pleasures and woes. In the closing chapter, Andrea Castiglioni points out a growing tendency in recent Japanese films to focus on violent spirit entities (araburugami), rather than benign figures. He argues that this perhaps is related to the emergence of a new kind of national identity for Japan as a country that is uniquely able to control the unpredictability of nature and malignant invisible agencies.

In Japan, a country popularly perceived as highly secularized and technologically advanced, ontological assumptions about spirits (tama or tamashii) seem to be quite deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric. From ancestor cults to anime, spirits, ghosts, and other invisible dimensions of reality appear to be pervasive. In Spirits and Animism in Contemporary Japan (Bloomsbury Academic, 2019), international scholars from various backgrounds consider together this “invisible empire” and highlight the “agency of the intangible.” The contributors of this edited volume approach spirits and animism in contemporary Japan from diverse perspectives. Satō Hiroo opens the book with a chapter on the transformation in Japanese visions of the afterlife, the status of the dead, and regional traditions of memorialization. Andrea De Antoni looks further into the ontology of spirits via an investigation into recent cases of spirit possession (tsuki, hyōi) that is treated at the Kenmi Shrine in Shikoku.

Building resilience and achieving success in agriculture is an unpredictable challenge that involves continuous learning, upskilling, mentorship and adoption of innovative practices. In this episode, Mark chats with Danielle England, both a consultant and farmer, about resilience in the agricultural industry.Danielle currently farms merino sheep with her husband and his family in Keilira, South Australia. However, she has spent most of her career going back and forth across Australia in a variety of roles, most of them focused on risk, resilience and people in agriculture. Her first role was with the Department of Agriculture working in the Sustainability and NRM team before she moved across to Planfarm. There she got involved in the grain and mixed farming businesses and is now lead consultant with AgInnovate. “Nationally, I've led a lot of the decision-making around risk - and how farmers look at risk - and also the role of sheep in broadacre farms and cropping programmes, and what risks do sheep bring to those businesses,” explains Danielle.With the recent announcements on live export, the sheep industry across Australia has suffered the flow-on effect of that uncertainty and a drop in confidence. Through her career in risk management, Danielle has some great insights about how farmers can navigate such an unsettled time. Danielle disagrees that this will all ‘blow over' in a year. “I think this a two- or three-year journey that the industry has to go on. As you know, we can't change sheep genetics very quickly,” she explains. “Sure we can move out of merinos and move into first-crosses or prime lambs, but they're not going to hit the ground till 2025. 2024 mating was decided in 2023, we don't operate in really short turnarounds in livestock.”Danielle suggests that whilst changes need to be made to ride out the wave, it's best not to rush in and make too many changes at once. Sometimes it is not making ‘a' change that is hard, but the decision about which change to make. Here are some key points from Mark's chat with Danielle to consider when implementing change in your farming business:  Know your core values.Know what you're good at.Know what you enjoy.Keep an open mind.Don't look back, instead focus on what you want to generate.Don't add or subtract more than 30% in a business at once.Finally, Mark asks Danielle what are the key characteristics of resilient businesses. “Someone once told me, if your farm's still there, you've got a resilient business,” she says. “Farming is a long game and it's an infinite game. We try and set it up for future generations. So whilst it looks stressful now, in the long run it will be okay.”We are launching OptiEwe, a one-on-one consulting service for commercial sheep farmers, and want your input.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    Non-Reward Markers have long been used in dog training, but are they really necessary? And what drives our choice to use an NRM? An NRM, sometimes called a No Reward Marker, could be a word people use to freeze a dog from making a poor choice during training or even be something like, “ah”, “no”, “hey”, “stop”. I'm covering how things have changed for me and the use of Non-Reward Markers over the years and what we can do instead.   In this episode you'll hear:   • Why to consider the balance of compassion and ambition. • About the impact of using non-reward markers in dog training. • Why to use the ABC model to create clarity for dogs. • Personal experiences with my dogs over the years.  • Why manipulating the environment sets dogs up for shaping success. • How making a small shift in dog training prevents frustration. • Why to play the "Muffin Tin Game" and how it encourages dogs to offer behaviors. • About considering experimental design and set up.   Resources:   1.Podcast Episode 37: Dog Training as a Career - https://dogsthat.com/podcast/37/ 2.

In this week's episode, we discuss the state of extremism in the Nordic region. We focus on Sweden as the long-term epicentre of regional far-right extremism, and explore the Nordic Resistance Movement's (NRM) evolution. We also discuss the role of online platforms in amplifying NRM's reach and radicalising supporters to violence and what can be done to counter this. Join Archie Macfarlane as he speaks with Morgan Finnsiö, a journalist, researcher and educator at the anti-racist foundation Expo, which aims to defend democratic society against the threat posed by racism.You can read a transcript of this episode here.

How do the best NRM experts deal with invasive and environmental weeds, without reaching for chemical herbicides as a first resort?By using Integrated Weed Management (IWM) strategies, of course. These include physical, cultural, biological, genetic, regulatory and finally chemical tools as a last resort.Kate Blood is Program Manager for weed management at the Victorian Department of Energy, Environment, and Climate Action (DEECA, formerly DELWP). She's the perfect person to explain how to actually get rid of weeds, rather than simply spending your whole budget on making a great initial result that will become undone within 12 months.Because, let's face it, sometimes weeds need more than a single effort to be removed. Once they've become established, they can take multiple approaches and years of effort. And years... and years... and years...EPISODE LINKSFacebook:@WeedSocietyofVictoriaInc@DEECAVictoria@weedyk8@earlyinvaderweedsInstagram: @weedyk8@DEECA_VicTwitter: @society_weed@weedyk8@DEECA_VicThreads: @weedyk8LinkedIn: @KateBlood1Hashtags: #InvasiveSpecies #WESIProj #EnvironmentalWeeds #InvasiveGardenPlants  #VicWeedsConf2023 #WeedSocietyOfVictoria #WeedSocietyOfVicSearch for horticulture jobs: HortPeople.comFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @PlantsGrowHere / Facebook: @PlantsGrowHerePodcast - Join our Facebook group!VISIT OUR WEBSITEwww.PlantsGrowHere.comYou'll find heaps of educational blog articles, including How To Prune For Natural Shape, What Relationships Do Plants Have With Other Organisms?, and What Is Healthy Soil, And How Can We Build It?.LET'S WORK TOGETHERAre you in the industry or an enthusiast with something of value to share?

We all agree that natural resources need our help. But how do we create ecosystems that last, using native plants, within budget, and on-time?To celebrate National Tree Day in Australia, our sponsors at Arborgreen have helped to create an information-packed episode. We'll take you through all of the major steps you'll need to follow when creating and improving natural habitats to support our natural resources, which starts with preparing sites, planting trees, and then ongoing management.Sam Dalton is a seasoned expert in the Natural Resource Management (NRM) field, and he's also a product analyst at Arborgreen. He's one of the people that help the company stay focused on offering solutions that actually work, rather than simply seeming like a good idea at the time. He's got the knowledge we need to learn, so we're lucky to be able to pick his brain.Make sure to share this episode with somebody else who needs to learn about NRM, and check out previous episodes I've created in collaboration with Arborgreen:Ep.160 Nursery industry secrets with Bruce Durant, Ep. 154 Innovations in the tree industry with Marc Jarvis and Ep.60 How to plant trees like a pro with Jason Gooden.EPISODE LINKSArborgreen's website: https://www.arborgreen.com.au/Arborgreen's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/6608939/Arborgreen's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pg/arborgreenlandscapeproductsSam's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-dalton-002753211Search for horticulture jobs: HortPeople.comFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @PlantsGrowHere / Facebook: @PlantsGrowHerePodcast - Join our Facebook group!VISIT OUR WEBSITEwww.PlantsGrowHere.comYou'll find heaps of educational blog articles, including How To Prune For Natural Shape, What Relationships Do Plants Have With Other Organisms?, and What Is Healthy Soil, And How Can We Build It?.LET'S WORK TOGETHERAre you in the industry or an enthusiast with something of value to share?

In this episode of NRM, the boys start by giving their honest opinions on DJ Khaled's newest single feat. Drake & Lil Baby. They also give their Kendrick concert reviews, & Mal explains his surprise at the tour demographics. This leads to them speaking on the plethora of other weekend performances, like the Young Money reunion, and some interesting interviews that came out this weekend as well. They also discuss the Alex Jones trial, Kevin Durant's request, + more!

Happy Beyonce Release Day From Rory & The Beyhive! The guys start off giving doormen their due flowers, reminiscing on some of their younger apartment mishaps. Mal met an unlikely NRM supporter over the weekend, and tells us about it, while Rory relives an embarrassing moment from this weekend for our amusement. They then get into the Beyonce' leak (pay attention - this is where you separate the real hive from the frauds), as well as Kelis' comments regarding her sample being used, and other music releases. Also comes a discussion about their favorite albums to drive to. They discuss road trip etiquette regarding music choices, and give their opinion on former president Barack Obama's (alleged) Summer Playlist. They debate the scariest movies of their respective eras, discuss Ryan Leslie's missing laptop, Mal's Mega Millions Win (we're speaking this into existence), + more!

Rory & Mal start off recapping their week, including the NRM team holiday dinner, where the executive producer of More Sauce shamelessly admitted to being a serial killer aka sleeping with socks on. They then address the war on Christmas, men getting horrible Christmas gifts, and why we have no recent classic holiday movies. Jussie Smollett was found guilty on his fall report charges for lying his ass off, and that, of course, led to jokes. A bunch of random discussions happen in the middle of this episode - Rory gives advice on the worst places to propose, Mal admits to having a weed dealing hippie fetish, and we finally hear from one of our KanyexYe ticket winners. The guys also discuss new music, Hitman Holla's close friends + more!
