Headline of the Week contender #5: Wild beavers may have spread further than we realize, Headline of the Week review and then listener voting to crown winner, Some guy in Sweden taught his pet octopus to play piano by bribing it with crab

The Piano Playing Octopus (12/12/25) by 96.5 WKLH

An octopus named Takoyaki or Tako, for short, has become an internet sensation after Swedish YouTuber Mattias Krantz rescued him from a fish market and then, incredibly, taught him to play the piano. But can he really 'play'?

In this episode, Kate is joined by Simon Rogerson, founder of Octopus Group, to learn more about his divorce story.Why divorce was harder than building a businessThis episode begins with Simon sharing his separation story. He candidly explains why he felt his divorce was more stressful than building a business. He and Kate also discuss how friends' and colleagues' reactions to Simon's divorce weren't always helpful and why ‘staying together for the kids' might actually do more harm than good.

Have you ever wanted a bed for your phone? Do you live in the United Arab Emirates? Well, you're in luck. Ikea has the perfect thing for you. We discuss Nike's latest product that makes it easier to walk for people who were not having trouble walking (??). We created the perfect foot race, and it involves flip-flops, margaritas, and fun for the whole family. This might be our best idea yet. We learn why horses got domesticated and zebras didn't, and we also realize zebras are the reality tv personaliteis of the animal kingdom (in the worst way). We find out why octopuses are more similar to humans than we realized, except for how they might be aliens. Plus, we discuss a boy who was kidnapped that was released because he annoyed the hell out of his captors, and we stan.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping, when you head to https://www.smalls.com/BRAINCANDYGet 15% off OneSkin with the code BRAINCANDY at https://www.oneskin.co/BRAINCANDY #oneskinpodHead to https://cozyearth.com and use my code BRAINCANDY for up to 40% off — just be sure to place your order by December 12th for guaranteed Christmas delivery.

What animal has nine brains, eight arms, three hearts, adapts rapidly, and possesses exceptional intelligence? Yes, the description applies to octopuses. But according to Stephen Wunker, managing director of New Markets Advisors, it is also an apt description of business owners and CEOs who harness artificial intelligence to transform their companies into super-high-performing organizations. Steve and his colleagues advise companies and organizations, including Microsoft, Meta, Nike, and the World Bank, on innovation strategy and capabilities. His latest book, co-authored with futurist Jonathan Brill, is AI and the Octopus Organization: Building the Superintelligent Firm. Steve, who previously was a guest on this podcast in April 2024, sees the cephalopod's decentralized decision-making, lightning-fast problem-solving, and hyper-responsive behavior as an ideal model for AI-empowered leadership. As he explains, winning with AI doesn't mean squeezing new tools into old systems. It requires leaders to rethink — even rewire — how their organizations operate so they can swim with the intelligence and adaptability of an octopus.

In dieser Folge von BierTalk nehme ich euch mit nach Lahnstein – und zwar an den Verkostungstisch von Dr. Markus Fohr: Braumeister, Biersommelier, Craftbier-Tüftler und obendrein Marathonläufer. Gemeinsam probieren wir uns einmal quer durch seine Craftbiere und sprechen darüber, was hinter den Rezeptideen steckt: Warum genau diese Rohstoffe? Welche Aromen sollen im Glas landen? Und was macht ein Bier für ihn wirklich „stimmig“? Zwischendurch geht's raus aus dem Sudhaus und rein in die Laufschuhe: Markus erzählt, wie er das Training für lange Distanzen mit dem Braueralltag zusammenbringt – und warum Ausdauer, Fokus und ein gutes Gefühl für Timing in beiden Welten entscheidend sind. Natürlich darf auch sein großer Moment nicht fehlen: der Sieg bei der Deutschen Meisterschaft der Biersommeliers – inklusive Einblicken, was dort wirklich zählt und wie man sich auf so einen Wettbewerb vorbereitet. Eine wahre Marathon-Folge voller Geschmack, Tempo und echter Leidenschaft fürs Bier. Kopfhörer auf, Glas bereit – los geht's!

Everyone has heard of the New World Order, the World Economic Forum, and the United Nations as vehicles for global domination, economic enslavement, and world government. There was, however, a lesser-known criminal network that operated from the shadows for decades and was deeply involved in drug trafficking, arms dealing, an assortment of massive financial frauds, sexual blackmail entrapment honeypots, money laundering on an unimaginable scale, and of course, many, many murders.There existed a 5,000-person criminal network with George H.W. Bush as the CEO that covertly ran the world from behind the scenes through the 1980s and 1990s that came to be known as “The Enterprise”, but most people would better recognize it from the name that author Danny Casolero gave it in his book that ended up costing him his life: the “Octopus”.—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcastActivist Post FamilyActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com Support Our SponsorsC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROChristian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —

Erin Platts is the CEO of Octopus Ventures and former CEO of Silicon Valley Bank UK & Europe — one of the most pivotal figures in the UK tech ecosystem.In this conversation, Erin opens up in remarkable detail about her personal journey from two decades inside SVB to leading one of Europe's most active venture firms. She shares the inside story of the SVB collapse — the all-nighters, the adrenaline, the leadership decisions made under extreme pressure, and what it was really like to shoulder responsibility for thousands of founders, operators and employees during a once-in-a-generation crisis.We then explore Erin's new chapter at Octopus Ventures, and how she's shaping a platform that spans pre-seed to growth investing, powered by the unique capital model of the wider Octopus Group. We discuss the future of the UK ecosystem, the evolution of UK capital markets, and what needs to change to ensure the best founders choose to build and list here.In this episode we dive into:

Fredrik, Kristoffer, och Tobias snackar om Tobias snart avslutade tid på Ubisoft och vad som händer därefter. Tobias diskuterar bland annat vad han lärt sig under fyra år på en stor studio. Vad har han lärt sig, vad är han mest nöjd med att ha gjort? Och varför är Macen en besvärlig plattform att stödja? Tobias diskuterar också skillnaden på ett stort spelföretag som Ubisoft och ett litet som Larian, där han snart börjar jobba. Det är lätt att vara negativ kring jättarna, men de fyller också en del viktiga syften. Dessutom några sidospår kring att hålla reda på kläder, och om nackdelen med trästäder.

We would love to hear your feedback!Ep 278 News LinksA viral claim collapses, a van gets swiped in broad daylight, and a driverless car freezes in an alley—welcome to a week where gig work shows its sharp edges. We open with a wild “clip of the week” from a Spark delivery, then unpack the fallout from the DoorDash creator whose videos led to felony charges after she filmed a customer nude and posted his information online. What counts as evidence, what crosses the line, and how do you protect yourself without chasing clicks?From there, we dive into safety in the field: the naked stranger who climbed into a delivery van and crashed it, the simple habits that would have stopped it, and the broader need for situational awareness when you're juggling keys, phones, and doorsteps. We balance the chaos with practical wins—Octopus tablets for passive tips and engagement, plus why riders should always compare Uber and Lyft before booking. If 84 percent never check both apps, that's money left on the table and drivers feeling the squeeze.Policy and tech loom over it all. New Zealand's top court just said several Uber drivers are employees, opening the door to benefits and back pay claims. Meanwhile, autonomy meets reality: Lyft's CEO doubts self‑driving will dominate soon, even as Waymo expands to freeways while still stumbling in tight urban maneuvers. We talk costs, liability, cleaning fleets, and why geofenced pilots will coexist with human drivers for years. Add a fresh DoorDash data leak and the rise of retail partnerships like Old Navy delivery, and you can see the next phase of gig work: more services, more risk, more need for clear rules.If you care about driver safety, platform policies, and the real timeline for autonomous rides, this one's for you.

In this episode, Doreen Cumberford and Megan Norton-Newbanks sit down with Sa-Eun Park, also known as San Shine, a belonging coach and spiritual entrepreneur based in Incheon, Korea. San shares her powerful story of growing up cross-culturally—moving from Korea to Saudi Arabia, then Austria, and later, the U.S.—and how these experiences shaped her journey with belonging, identity, and self-acceptance.Key Topics & TakeawaysThe Wound of Uprootedness:San discusses the impact of being separated from her family at a young age and growing up across multiple cultures, and how this led to a lifelong search for belonging.Inner Boardroom Method:San introduces her unique approach to self-acceptance by creating an "inner boardroom," inviting listeners to listen compassionately to the many voices within themselves shaped by cross-cultural experiences.Belonging as a Superpower:The conversation explores the idea that the ability to hold multiple cultural identities is not just a challenge, but a superpower for empathy and connection.Authenticity and Wholeness:How embracing all parts of ourselves, even the conflicted or fragmented ones, leads to a fuller sense of authenticity and belonging.The Human Kintsugi:San is developing a new framework—“The Human Kintsugi”—inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. It's about turning life's fractures into sources of beauty and strength.Senses and Belonging:The importance of using our senses, especially intuition, to recognize belonging and polarization in spaces we inhabit.Community in a Changing World:A discussion on how the meaning of community is shifting with technology, and why self-belonging is foundational for creating connections with others.Memorable Quotes“Those voices are there to guide you to the wholeness in you.” – San Shine“Belonging is about returning to yourself and remembering who you already are.”Practical TipsPractice the Inner Boardroom:Sit with your different identities and listen to each one with compassion, as you would to children with different needs.Create Your Own Healing Rituals:Physical objects—like a heart with country flags—can help visually acknowledge and integrate all the cultures and experiences in your life.Explore Playlists:Curate music that resonates with your sense of belonging, or helps you connect with different versions of yourself.Connect with Today's Guest:Founder and CEO of Octopus and Stitch ConsultingIG - @octopusandstitchhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sanshine/Resources MentionedThe concept of “Human Kintsugi”Megan Norton-Newbanks' book: Belonging Across BordersRepatriation Playlist (referenced in the episode; available in show notes)Thank you for joining us on Nomadic Diaries!

In this exciting installment of the ongoing Ozark Mountain Bigfoot Conference series, Ryan “RPG” Golembeske returns for another deep dive into the world of cryptids—this time taking listeners on a journey from the depths of the ocean to the heart of the wilderness.With his signature blend of curiosity, experience, and adventurous storytelling, RPG explores the legendary creatures that continue to captivate researchers and enthusiasts alike. The discussion begins with iconic sea monsters such as the Kraken, examining whether sightings throughout history may point to encounters with massive cephalopods like giant octopuses. He then shifts to the mysterious waters of Loch Ness, highlighting the compelling scientific theory that Nessie could be a supersized eel—a hypothesis gaining traction through modern research.From there, the conversation moves into familiar terrain: Bigfoot. RPG presents a fascinating angle on Sasquatch biology and survival, proposing that these elusive beings may rely on naturally occurring hyperbaric environments—hidden geothermal systems, pressure-regulated cave networks, or unique atmospheric pockets—to maintain longevity, accelerate healing, and avoid detection. The talk expands into broader cryptid theory, asking whether such creatures are undiscovered animals, evolutionary holdovers, or manifestations of phenomena we have yet to understand. hrough a blend of science, speculation, anthropology, and field experience, RPG guides the audience through a dynamic exploration of the unknown.This session delivers another captivating chapter in the Ozark Mountain Bigfoot Conference series—an invitation to rethink what might still be hiding in our oceans, forests, and unexplored corners of the world.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

On this week's Tall Boy Radio, hosts Gaz and Beans are honoured to welcome a titan of criminal investigation, Retired Lieutenant Commander Vernon Geberth, to delve deep into one of the most sprawling, intricate, and utterly frustrating cases he ever tackled. This is the unbelievable true story of "Operation Octopus," a fascinating chapter pulled directly from the pages of his essential book, The Godfather of Homicide.Get ready for a comprehensive breakdown of a case that began innocently enough but quickly metastasized into a terrifying, multi-layered criminal enterprise. We start at the supposed centre: a deadly, planned store robbery murder plot. Gaz and Beans press Vernon on how the immediate aftermath of that violent scene hinted at something much bigger, prompting his team to pull at a thread that quickly unravelled the tapestry of organised crime.Vernon shares the fascinating details of how that single planned robbery and murder exposed a massive operation involving the upper echelons of the Mafia. This wasn't just low-level thugs; this was a sophisticated ring dealing in multiple high-stakes crimes. Central to the investigation was a staggering amount of counterfeit money flooding the region—a clue that immediately brought the formidable resources of the Secret Service into the fray. Geberth details the critical, often tense, partnership with the federal agents tasked with tracing the origins and distribution of the funny money.Beyond the paper trail, the Octopus had its tentacles deep in drug trafficking. We explore the dangerous world of undercover operations Vernon's team had to execute, putting agents in genuine, life-threatening peril to infiltrate both the counterfeiting and narcotics distribution networks. Geberth gives listeners a rare look behind the scenes, discussing the immense logistical challenges of running parallel stings and the meticulous planning required to keep sources alive.But as with any great true-crime saga, the enemy wasn't just the Mob. Vernon pulls no punches when recounting the persistent, crippling interference from above. He details the specific challenges posed by incompetent supervisors and the internal bureaucracy that repeatedly threatened to pull the plug on the investigation. Hear the moments where the entire case hung by a thread, jeopardised not by a criminal act, but by incompetence from the guy that you report into. Gaz and Beans explore the mental toll this internal struggle took on the detectives trying to bring a major criminal operation down while simultaneously battling their own command structure.Operation Octopus is a gripping testament to relentless detective work, bureaucratic warfare, and the unwavering dedication required to dismantle a criminal empire. It's a classic Geberth case that proves the reality of homicide investigation is often far stranger, more frustrating, and more exhilarating than any fiction.

Welcome to November, my loves. We're deep in Scorpio season — the time of year when the veil thins, the shadows stir, and transformation stops being an abstract concept and becomes something we actually feel in our bones. This month's astrology isn't here to make us comfortable; it's here to make us real.In this episode, we walk together through the cosmic landscape of November 2025, guided by the intensity of Scorpio and the wild optimism of Sagittarius. From the Taurus Full Moon that grounds us in our bodies to the Scorpio New Moon that strips us down to our truth, this month's energy teaches us how to compost fear into courage, endings into beginnings.We'll unpack the big transits and explore what they mean for our collective healing. It's a month of revelations, boundary work, and bold leaps of faith. Then, we turn to our Earth Medicine for November — Peony, Citrine, and Octopus — each offering its own kind of magic for this rebirth season. Together, they hold the energy of this month's theme: Grab it while you can.If Scorpio asks what must die, Sagittarius asks what you'll do with the life that's left. This episode is your permission slip to let go, trust your timing, and take the opportunities the Universe places in front of you — even if they scare you a little. Especially if they scare you a little.

As a former “Star Trek Voyager” screenwriter and lecturer in economics and political philosophy, Gard Goldsmith has dedicated his life to spreading the message of voluntaryism in the scripts and novels that he writes, as well as through his nightly program “Liberty Conspiracy”. What should the role of government be in our lives, and how can we remove ourselves from its grasp? These are the topics that keep Gard Goldsmith busy plotting ways in which society can be reimagined in order to remove the undue influence of the “Predator Class” and free humanity from its grip. Is it too late to fix this system, or are we on the brink of a revolutionary redesign of the world that will see the tables turned on the oligarchy? One thing is for certain: we cannot vote our way out of this mess.
