When a visit to a memory care facility turns into a brainstorming session for the ultimate Gen X Retirement Home "in the year of our lord Dolly Parton 2026"... This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I reflect on a visit with his mom and find ourselves imagining a future filled with Oregon Trail reenactments, Running Man lessons, prank calls, and Pantera during music hour. We talk about the surprising connection between music and memory, why laughter and grief often show up together, and what we'd want waiting for us in our own retirement community.We also dive into a conversation about aging after someone on the internet suggested my eyebrows needed help. That leads to a bigger discussion about beauty standards, the pressure women feel to age "correctly," and why it's so hard to stop caring what other people think. We also explore women supporting women, the loneliness epidemic among men, and what healthy community and connection might look like for all of us. Plus a walk down memory lane with Mr. Microphone, if we should do a psychic podcast, and more Gen X nostalgia. Laugh Liners, don't forget your homework assignments! We love to hear from you!

A hilltop mansion with panoramic views should feel like a reward. Pittock Mansion often feels like a warning. We head to Portland, Oregon to unpack the real history behind this 46-room landmark, then follow the trail of reports that refuse to fade: heavy footsteps on empty stairs, doors that won't stay locked, cold spots that hit like a wall, and photos that seem to catch someone standing where no one should be.We start with Henry and Georgiana Pittock, their Oregon Trail roots, the newspaper empire that helped shape Portland, and the jaw-dropping “modern” features they built into the home for the early 1900s, including an elevator and intercoms. Then the mansion's timeline turns, from family ownership to decline, storm damage, and a community effort that saved the property from demolition and turned it into a historic house museum. That museum setting matters, because it creates the perfect stage for patterns: repeated sounds, repeated sightings, and repeated stories from staff and tours year after year.Then we get into the hauntings. The headline is the prankster boy: a playful presence blamed for rearranged objects, moved books, unexplained giggles, and taps or tugs that feel like someone demanding attention. We also talk about the spirits many believe are Henry and Georgiana, including an elderly woman seen near the master bedroom and the scent of roses in rooms with no flowers, plus an elderly man in the study paired with the smell of pipe tobacco. Along the way, we wrestle with the big paranormal questions: residual energy versus intelligent interaction, and whether “child spirits” are really children at all.Listen, then tell us where you land on it, and if you've ever toured Pittock Mansion, share what you experienced.

Fly Fishing the Green River Below Fontenelle Dam: Episode 171 – May 21, 2026 Our destination is the Green River below Fontenelle Dam — perhaps the last major undiscovered trophy trout stream in the lower 48 states. Tucked inside the Seedskiddie National Wildlife Refuge in the middle of Wyoming's Red Desert, this high desert tailwater is a lush ribbon of life most traveling anglers have never heard of — and that's exactly the point. Today we sit down with Van Beacham, fourth-generation fly fisherman, author of Fly Fisher's Guide to New Mexico, and owner of The Solitary Angler, who has been quietly fishing and guiding this river since the 1980s. With huge biomass and 18"+ rainbows and browns as the standard, this is a trophy fishery — not a numbers river. Van breaks down why it stays uncrowded, what it takes to unlock the river's big fish, and why the solitude here rivals anything in the American West. In this episode: Why the Green River below Fontenelle Dam is the lower 48's best-kept secret Fish species: rainbows, browns, Bonneville and Snake River cutthroats The nymphing rig Van relies on — crayfish pattern, San Juan worm, and small mayflies Managing the notorious weed problem in July and August How Van built The Solitary Angler's private-water club model on Hams Fork, Smiths Fork, and Fontenelle Creek Wildlife: trumpeter swans, moose, bald eagles, and antelope in the Seedskiddie Refuge The river's deep history — Oregon Trail, mountain man rendezvous, and Jim Bridger's Fort Whether you're planning a Wyoming trip or just dreaming of uncrowded water with legitimate trophy fish, Van delivers the local knowledge you need before you go.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is David Nicandri, retired longtime director of the Washington State Historical Society, and prolific author on the era of explorers and exploration. For anyone who's ever wondered about the Missouri River and its impact on Pacific Northwest (or "Old Oregon Country") history, David Nicandri fills in the gaps, connects the dots and provides history and context for understanding how the geography and history fit together. From Lewis & Clark to the Astor Party, from the Oregon Trail to the Mullan Road, Nicandri weaves a rich tapestry of information and observations, indulging CASCADE OF HISTORY's Feliks Banel, who recently realized his knowledge of the Missouri River was deficient in many ways. This conversation was recorded on Wednesday, May 13, 2026.

Welcome to this week's episode of Grounded. While it's only one episode this week, this one is action packed with the usual high energy from the guys as they chat about their week's before unpacking this weeks sermon from Philippians chapter 2.

The internet woke up in full panic mode after Instagram launched a massive bot purge that vaporized millions of followers from celebrities, influencers, and probably your cousin who suddenly became a “fitness entrepreneur” during the pandemic. Kylie Jenner lost 14 million followers in a blink, and suddenly everybody online started acting like follower counts never mattered anyway. Sure, Jan.The gang dives into the chaos of fake followers disappearing, why advertisers are finally cracking down, and how even normal accounts can tell when the bots get exterminated. It's basically robot Hunger Games happening quietly in the background of social media while everybody keeps posting blurry vacation photos and motivational quotes stolen from Pinterest.Then somehow the conversation turns into Angry Birds officially entering the Video Game Hall of Fame. Yes. Angry Birds. The little phone game that destroyed productivity in offices across America is now standing next to gaming legends like Doom and Oregon Trail. The crew debates what games deserve Hall of Fame status, why Guitar Hero absolutely got robbed, and how Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtracks basically raised an entire generation of emotionally confused skateboard kids.There's also a deep dive into concert experiences at the Sphere in Las Vegas, including No Doubt, Metallica, Tool, and the realization that Tool might actually be the perfect Sphere band because nobody in Tool has ever looked interested in being on stage anyway. The visual effects do the heavy lifting while the audience collectively melts into a psychedelic lava lamp.Moon talks about how video games became one of the biggest discovery tools for music, including stories about Story of the Year songs unexpectedly blowing up after landing in racing games and MLB titles. If you ever found your favorite band because you crashed fake cars in Need for Speed, congratulations — you were part of history.Also in this episode:Jamie Pressly joins OnlyFans and keeps things just vague enough to make everybody suspiciousJerry Seinfeld claims Friends was basically just “Seinfeld with attractive people”Robin Williams stories from the set of Mrs. DoubtfireThe return of KISS… sort ofMini KISS somehow still thriving in 2026David Attenborough turning 100 years old because apparently nature documentaries grant immortalityThe best TV moms of all time according to the internetMortal Kombat reviewsStreaming habits of Gen ZBeat Saber obsessionCelebrity birthdaysAbsolute nonsense from beginning to endThis funny podcast from St. Louis continues doing what it does best: turning weird news, celebrity gossip, gaming nostalgia, and random debates into complete morning-show chaos. Whether you're here for the sarcastic humor, the pop culture commentary, or just to hear grown adults passionately discuss Angry Birds like it belongs in the Smithsonian, this comedy podcast has you covered.If you love a funny morning show packed with entertainment gossip, fail stories, celebrity news, weird internet culture, and daily humor, welcome home.

You know it's gonna be a weird day when the show opens with Rizz realizing his daughter's cheer banquet wasn't “folding chairs and sheet cake” but instead a full-on country club gala requiring a suit, tie, speeches, awards, emotional endurance, and apparently enough rubber chicken to bankrupt a catering company. Nothing says “supportive father” like sitting through four straight hours of banquet politics while pretending not to judge the speeches in your head.From there, the gang dives straight into the viral Busch Stadium incident where fans had to physically stop a guy from potentially falling from the upper deck. The discussion somehow turns into a complete breakdown of dangerous stadium seating, ballpark netting, drunk fan physics, and why Moon believes geese and gravity are America's greatest threats. Which honestly? Fair.Speaking of geese… apparently St. Louis now belongs to them. The crew discusses the annual return of Canada geese nesting season, why those feathered psychopaths become hyper-aggressive this time of year, and how entire college campuses basically surrender to goose gangs every spring. There's talk of fake coyotes, migratory bird treaties, goose chases, and the emotional humiliation of running from an animal that looks like it pays taxes.And because this is somehow still not enough chaos for one funny podcast, the conversation shifts to Yellowstone bear attacks, Mother's Day pressure, and the discovery that Father's Day is mostly just a yearly reminder of unresolved family trauma. Rafe perfectly explains why Father's Day social media posts always feel like passive-aggressive therapy sessions while Mother's Day gets treated like a national holiday requiring military-level planning.Meanwhile, King Scott prepares for his first Mother's Day with a pregnant wife, Moon contemplates fleeing town entirely to avoid gift expectations, and Rizz introduces “The Ralph Rule,” which may or may not destroy families nationwide. Add in deadbeat parents losing passports over unpaid child support, brunch recommendations turning into food obsession, and several near-death stories involving stadium upper decks, and you've got another completely normal day for The Rizzuto Show.This funny podcast continues doing what it does best: mixing weird news, sports chaos, parenting struggles, sarcastic commentary, celebrity-level overreactions, and St. Louis nonsense into one giant comedy blender. Whether you're here for the goose warfare, the Busch Stadium insanity, or the emotional collapse surrounding Mother's Day reservations, this episode delivers the exact kind of daily comedy disaster fans expect from The Rizzuto Show.The internet woke up in full panic mode after Instagram launched a massive bot purge that vaporized millions of followers from celebrities, influencers, and probably your cousin who suddenly became a “fitness entrepreneur” during the pandemic. Kylie Jenner lost 14 million followers in a blink, and suddenly everybody online started acting like follower counts never mattered anyway. Sure, Jan.The gang dives into the chaos of fake followers disappearing, why advertisers are finally cracking down, and how even normal accounts can tell when the bots get exterminated. It's basically robot Hunger Games happening quietly in the background of social media while everybody keeps posting blurry vacation photos and motivational quotes stolen from Pinterest.Then somehow the conversation turns into Angry Birds officially entering the Video Game Hall of Fame.

If you ever found your favorite band because you crashed fake cars in Need for Speed, congratulations — you were part of history.This might genuinely be one of the greatest confidence scams ever attempted: a French professor allegedly invents an entire prestigious academic award, buys himself a medal, gathers actual respected intellectuals, and somehow convinces everyone he's basically the LeBron James of language studies. Honestly? Kind of inspirational. The gang immediately realizes that most awards are basically made up anyway, which quickly escalates into creating fake international honors like “The Grand Cross of the Order of the Toasted Ravioli.” Because if you say anything confidently enough with enough gold trim attached to it, people will apparently clap.From there, the show takes a hard left directly into psychological warfare after King Scott introduces one of the most cursed “Would You Rather?” questions in show history: permanent Cheeto fingers… or taste buds in your butt. Yes. Really. The discussion somehow gets worse when Rafe introduces the horrifying concept of “the second tasting,” permanently ruining food, digestion, and probably several listeners' lunch breaks. It's the kind of conversation that could only happen on a daily comedy show powered entirely by sleep deprivation, bad decisions, and unchecked access to microphones.Rafe's E-Memoriam segment also delivers pure chaos this week. The crew says goodbye to Ask Jeeves, the once-beloved internet butler who politely helped people search embarrassing questions before Google became the all-knowing digital overlord living inside everyone's phones. The nostalgia spiral includes Geocities, LimeWire, Rotten Dot Com, terrible internet decisions, and the realization that the early internet somehow survived entirely on flashing skull gifs and confusion.Meanwhile, Rafe continues his quest toward honorary membership in the Blackfoot Nation, which now involves fingerprinting, Canadian bureaucracy, Wayne Gretzky references, and an unexpectedly spiritual trip to a UPS Store kiosk. What should have been a simple government process becomes an epic fantasy journey involving sacred scanners, sweaty palms, and “Hakuna Moscato” novelty packing tape. It's impossible to explain properly because this daily comedy show exists in a dimension where every normal story mutates into folklore by segment three.The episode wraps with real RIPs including Alex Ligertwood from Santana and media giant Ted Turner, proving The Rizzuto Show can somehow balance heartfelt moments alongside conversations about whether your butthole could identify ranch seasoning.If you love comedy podcasts, funny stories, weird news, sarcastic humor, pop culture commentary, St. Louis radio chaos, and hearing grown adults emotionally unravel in real time, this episode delivers everything you could possibly want from a daily comedy show… and several things you absolutely did not ask for.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Scary Scenes Emerge as Cardinals Fan Hangs Off Upper Deck Ledge, Major Accident AvertedCanada geese arrive in St. Louis for nesting season15-year-old, 28-year-old attacked by mother grizzly with cubs in Yellowstone National ParkUS will start revoking passports for thousands of parents who owe child support‘Angry Birds', ‘Silent Hill' and ‘FIFA' added to World Video Game Hall Of FameFrench professor facing probe for creating fake Nobel-style prize - only to award it to himselfMan, 34, Arrested For DWI (Droning While Intoxicated)Tampa officers find beer can in 'Happy Meal' during DUI investigation'Huff and puff and blow his house down': Woman burns down boyfriend's house because she was 'p—ed off' he stole from herTeens drive lawn mower into Target as part of social media stuntGroom arrested moments before wedding for failing to disclose he was registered pedophileSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this Radar Brief episode of The Wright Report, Bryan shares urgent developments from the Strait of Hormuz as President Trump weighs a new Iranian peace proposal while the Pentagon prepares a major operation to help guide trapped commercial ships safely out of the Persian Gulf. He explains how the U.S. military plans to provide air cover, surveillance, and defensive support for hundreds of merchant vessels without offering full armed escorts, even as Iran's IRGC warns that the move violates the ceasefire and threatens retaliation unless ships continue paying Tehran's reported $2 million toll. Bryan warns this standoff could turn "spicy" very quickly as U.S. naval operations begin immediately. Plus, Bryan asks listeners to pray for two missing U.S. soldiers in Morocco, previews upcoming reporting on the CIA's infamous MK Ultra mind control program as newly declassified documents head to Congress, and highlights important medical news from Finland suggesting that one of the most common knee surgeries may do more harm than good. He also shares an update from Eastern Oregon, where he is filming a special Fourth of July mini-documentary celebrating America's 250th birthday and the enduring goodness of small-town America.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Strait of Hormuz shipping crisis 2026 Trump Iran peace proposal, US military merchant ship guidance Persian Gulf IRGC threats, Iran ceasefire violation tanker toll payments Tehran, missing US soldiers Morocco training mission Pentagon update, CIA MK Ultra declassified documents Congress Anna Paulina Luna hearing, meniscus surgery study Finland knee procedure risks, America 250th anniversary Oregon Trail documentary Bryan Dean Wright, small town America Fourth of July project, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

*this episode has technical difficulties*This week on The Floor Recap, the show flips the script in a big way—an all-women episode takes over, and it brings a completely different energy to the game.Angie, Brad, Nicki, and Ashley break down a night where the women didn't just compete—they controlled the board, built strategic territory, and kept things surprisingly respectful (no meltdowns, no chaos… well, mostly).From a tight and controversial medical duel to an underestimated emoji showdown, this episode had its share of moments that made you question the rules—and the strategy. Add in a recycled-but-tough Oregon Trail category, a frustrating “Iconic Eyes” round, and another round of questionable “go back to the floor” decisions, and you've got a recap full of strong opinions.Oh—and the alliance storyline? Still here. Still confusing. Still very much a thing.If nothing else, this episode proves one thing:when the women take over, the game feels very different.

You Will Die of Dysentery… and Love This RallyWhat happens when the 24 Hours of LeMons meets The Oregon Trail? Probably dysentery. Definitely chaos.In this rare Porsche Episode 433, Mental actually sells a car, Chrissy can't stop looking at webcams, Chris is disappointed that his chicken furniture is not being used, and Jeff dies in The Cowboy Room.  Really, this week on Everyone Racers, we dive deep into the insanity of the recent 24 Hours of LeMons Carolinas Rally, break down the wildest cars, funniest costumes, and most ridiculous rally antics—and preview the upcoming Oregon Trail Rally, where competitors will literally follow the historic Oregon Trail west… hopefully without cholera, broken wagon wheels, or catastrophic automotive failure.Joining us is LeMons Rally Master Jeff Stobbs, who shares behind-the-scenes stories from Carolina, including bizarre rally themes, sketchy cars making heroic journeys, ridiculous checkpoint antics, and why this upcoming Oregon Trail adventure may become one of the greatest LeMons rallies ever created.Expect:

Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, your favorite daily comedy podcast where absolutely nothing stays on track — including today's weather, relationships, or basic human logic.We kick things off with a very St. Louis situation: “Hey, enjoy your morning… but also, maybe prepare for hail, tornadoes, and general chaos after 2PM.” The crew debates storm anxiety, Midwest weather logic, and why Lern is emotionally unwell for absolutely no clear reason. Standard Wednesday energy.Then we get into one of the most important life moments of our time: the promposal. Rizz's son pulls off a full-blown “National Signing Day”-style ask, complete with props, planning, and just enough teenage confusion to make it perfect. Meanwhile, the rest of the show realizes they are officially ancient after discovering kids don't do limos anymore. That's right — RIP to rolling up to prom like a budget celebrity.From there, we take a nostalgic detour through school memories that instantly date you — overhead projectors, Oregon Trail deaths, folded notes, and the absolute chaos of gym class games that would 100% get banned today. If you've ever been hit with a dodgeball or emotionally damaged by Red Rover, this is your moment.But don't get too comfortable — because things take a turn. Rizz shares a real-life situation involving a friend who may be getting catfished HARD. We're talking no video calls, “out of state,” and “I love you” already. The crew debates whether to intervene or just let this trainwreck roll… and honestly, it's as uncomfortable as it is hilarious.Oh, and just when you think it can't get worse? We hit you with a story about a doctor who removed the WRONG ORGAN. Not a typo. Not a joke.

In this episode of the Peskies Pest Control Podcast, hosts Michael Wienecke and Travis McGowin dive into the gritty details of what they call the “nastiest, grossest ant in Alabama”—the Argentine ant. The duo explores the unique biological traits of these invasive pests, such as their monomorphic size and their tendency to form massive supercolonies that can span thousands of miles. Beyond just being a nuisance, the hosts highlight the genuine health risks these ants pose as they travel from damp areas like sewage and stagnant water directly into home pantries, potentially spreading diseases like E. coli, salmonella and dysentery. From the “musty odor” they emit when squished to practical “ounce of prevention” tips for sealing up your home, this episode provides a comprehensive guide to identifying and controlling one of the most prolific pests in the South.

So here on the Peskies Pest Control Podcast, we are going to talk about the nastiest, grossest ant in Alabama, and that is the Argentine ant. It is. It's gross. It crawls over sewage and poop and gets in people's food sometimes, and it just causes dysentery,Travis McGowin 0:18among many other things. I'm sure there's probably some E coli, salmonella and all that in there too.Michael Wienecke 0:26Look, dysentery is just it reminds me of, like, Oregon Trail. Remember that game Oregon Trail? It's like, what'd you die from dysentery?Travis McGowin 0:34I think everybody died from dysentery on that game, if I'm not mistaken. It's a very common theme, apparently. But anyway, no, the Argentine ant definitely, definitely, a very prolific ant in terms of size, colony size and whatnot that, you know, originally came around from Argentina and basically South America, very large area of South America, and was very likely introduced, you know, because of world trade shipping and trade routes and that sort of thing, like most of our very invasive pests are introduced to other countries.Michael Wienecke 1:09It's crazy to me how most rats, bugs, you know, other animals, have gone over from shipping. I mean, shipping has just transported so many different species of animals from one continent to another, absolutely.Travis McGowin 1:26I mean, when you consider, you know, pests in general, and the problems that they've caused throughout history, and then, you know, we all want to be interconnected and trade and and all these things. But, I mean, it does come with its consequences. You know, it's, it is one caveat to being a more, I guess, unified world in that sense, nature, nature. So, you know, tell us a little bit about some of the physical characteristics of the Argentine ant.Michael Wienecke 1:59So really, it's brown, light brown, kind of blackish colored. You know, really, biggest thing is you're going to find them around the the outside of your structure, your house, leave debris, large stacks of wood. We always kind of joke about Argentine ants, because they are just they wreak havoc once you find a nest. I mean, they just come in Super colonies and just come out of the woodwork.Travis McGowin 2:27RIght, and then when you squish them, they stink,Michael Wienecke 2:30Yes, the musty odor, yes. They do a bit when you when you stink them, or when you squish them, they do stink, yes.Travis McGowin 2:35And unlike some, you know, some ant colonies out there can be what we we call polymorphic, but Argentine ants are monomorphic, so typically they are all one size in when you look at them.Michael Wienecke 2:51Well, and that sounds really boring, but we're trying to do an inspection, knowing if they're poly or mono is very important, because that gives that leads us to what type of ant we have, whether a carpenter ant, Argentine ant, fire ant, Pharaoh ant, you know, kind of going over all the ants.Travis McGowin 3:10Right, and you know, Argentine ants are known to have very large colony sizes, so, and when you consider that approximately 90% of the colony are workers. I mean, they get things done, and they get it done in a hurry. So, you know, from the time that they're an egg to the time that they're an adult is roughly around 100 days, give or take, depending upon, obviously, the colony and weather and all that sort of thing. But by spring, they've got this very large build up of colonies, or excuse me, colony members, you know, and so, I mean, there's, there's even a documented case over in Europe of a colony Spain, one colony ultimately spanning 3700 miles.Michael Wienecke 3:56That is a long way. I believe it was, what Italy to what does it say Spain?Travis McGowin 4:03I don't remember exactly, but it was, it was a very, very long way for one ant colony to have spread.Michael Wienecke 4:11Yeah, that's wild. They Well, I mean, in a super colony over winter, or colonize over winters to survive, and then in the summertime, they just, they explode.Travis McGowin 4:19Right, absolutely. So, you know, when they're out and about foraging around, they do prefer sugars, especially like honeydew or sweets. They you know, ants are funny. Most all types of ants can kind of transition and switch their foraging behaviors over based upon, you know, the time of year that it is. So they may go from sweets to proteins and back and forth or what have you, but the primary diet of these ants is something sweet, and when they run out of honeydew, what do they come for?Michael Wienecke 4:53Well, honeydew, honeydew and aphids, they're coming for any kind of sweet, sticky liquid or sugary, you know. A sweet what do we all eat in the summertime and, you know, all that, so, cookies, cakes, all that kind of stuff.Travis McGowin 5:05Yeah, so they're coming for your sweets. Yes, yeah, yes. And you know, they like moisture as well. So, you know that's the problem with them, though. You know they're looking for these moist, damp areas. Well, what areas are moist and damp? You're talking about areas with sewage, stagnant water, areas those types of things. And like we said at the beginning, you're talking about the high potential that these insects can cause you and your family to be sick, because everything they touch with their legs, that they crawl across, and then they come and they invade and infest your pantry or wherever it is, inside your house and your your surfaces, your countertops, things like that. Everything that they've touched before they got to that point is fair game to be placed down on everything that you have.Michael Wienecke 5:55Well, what's the amount of sewage that you let in your food? What's the what's the percentage that you're okay with.Travis McGowin 6:01I would hope my percentage is, can you get a negative percentage? You know, but no, 0% 0% is what I want,Michael Wienecke 6:12Yeah and again, like I said, they're nasty. They just blow up in the summer or the springtime. And we're seeing a lot of calls right now on these ants, and they are a booger to control, because just like Travis said, we've got 10% queens, we've got 90% workers. Well, 10% doesn't seem like a lot, but in a colony, 10% is a lot, so we have to kill those queens, to kill that colony.Travis McGowin 6:36Well, you know, and that their their activity, their influx of activity, you know, comes and goes. A lot of it depends on what's going on around the outside in their world, whether it's extremely wet or extremely dry. That can push these ants to, you know, increase their activity. One of the big things though, that homeowners can do to help themselves, you know, obviously, there's pesticides and different things that you can use, but sealing off access points is great. These ants like to run up and down. Utility lines, service entries, plumbing, things that go inside the wall of your house, you know, HVAC lines, those sorts of things. Sealing up those things. You know, anyone who's listened to us for any length of time, has heard me say this multiple times, like, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, right? Just doing those little things,Michael Wienecke 7:27I think I'm gonna get you a t shirt with that on there.Travis McGowin 7:30And get it on the wall behind me.Michael Wienecke 7:32Brodie asked me that the other day and I was like, I don't know, a pound of cure.Travis McGowin 7:37You totally. You butchered it, didn't you? You butchered my saying,Michael Wienecke 7:41I It's not mine, it's not mine. All to you.Travis McGowin 7:43Yeah, but, but anyway, helping yourself out just a little bit like that, a lot of times, will solve some of your problems. Now, granted, they are ants, and they can kind of fit into any small gap they want to. And I'm convinced that if all ants pulled their resources together, they could take over the world. But along the way, they could, they could, they're very strong. But, yeah, an ounce of prevention is totally worth a pound of cure in some of these situations.Michael Wienecke 8:09Well, and sealing up your house is great too, but I know we've talked about too is, is the the environmental factors around the home, major water sources that are going to draw these guys in? I mean, even sealing up a home, just like Travis said, you know, your home has to breathe, so you can't seal every inch of it, or it would just mold and fall apart. So getting rid of the firewood, like I talked about the you know, everybody's kind of cleaning up their yard right now, raking all that old pine straw out, which is no fun, and it makes it more expensive, but it's kind of important on a pest control level, because you're getting all that nasty gunk out of that those beds right next to your house, and you're kind of starting over fresh and giving it a fresh environment. So just things of that nature can, can stop ants, you know, in their tracks, or having a nesting site.Travis McGowin 8:57Yeah, and they are notorious for nesting in things like potted plants.Michael Wienecke 9:01Oh yeah, and eight inches deep, I mean, rocks, potted plants along the driveways. And, you know, they're, they're really not so much of a stinging, or, you know, biting nuisance. They're just, they're just a lot of them.Travis McGowin 9:15Yeah, they're large colonies, very invasive. And just Can, can make you and your family sick. So definitely not this with dysentery because we're on the Oregon Trail, but definitely not something that you want running around your property.

University of Chicago Assistant Professor in the Department of Cinema and Media Studies, AE Stevenson and Rutgers University–New Brunswick, Assistant Professor of Journalism and Media Studies Brooklyne Gipson join us to talk about digital Black feminism online. We start our discussion with America's relations with the platform TikTok, and how it is a large social media site for Black creators. We then explore how to define community and culture, especially for Black people online, in a world resistant to progress. Building from this, AE and Brooklyne discuss how certain communicative practices in the Black community focus on storytelling as a vehicle for critical thought rather than a lack of media literacy education. This leads to the larger topic of online discourse around the films Sinners and One Battle After Another. We end with dissecting how the recognition of, or lack thereof, Black culture affects people's views of these films. Although they both feature Black actors, they interact with culture very differently. Ultimately, we push for an awareness of the multilayered discussions of media seen as progressive or discursive. They should think about what cultures and communities are being featured and how.        Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper: Academic/Educational readings and resources: Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code Algorithms of Oppression  Dark Matters: On the Surveillance of Blackness Renegades: Digital Dance Cultures from Dubsmash to TikTok Digital Pleasure and Danger: A Roundtable Discussion Niggas on the Internet: Scenes of a Black Social Life (Dissertation) Sites of Chaos: Scenes of a Black Social Life (book in progress) he Black Mirror World: Racialized Disinformation and Misogynoir Online (book in progress) The Comet (1920) [short story, article] The Souls of Black Folk Black Oscars: From Mammy to Minny, What the Academy Awards Tell Us about African Americans People & Places: Ruha Benjamin Ryan Coogler Teyana Taylor Safiya Noble Simone Browne Jasmine Crockett Centinela Drive-In Steve Jobs Charli D'Amelio Leonardo Chiariglione Toni Cade Bambara W.

What an Old Game Revealed About Real Money Decisions One of the most interesting moments in our conversation with Lucy Taylor had nothing to do with spreadsheets, calculators, or even investing. It was a game. https://www.youtube.com/live/hpyIChXQy5U Bruce brought up Oregon Trail—an old-school game where every decision mattered. How many supplies would you take? How much risk would you accept? Would you move too fast and lose everything, or play so cautiously that you never made meaningful progress? That simple example opened the door to a much bigger truth: money works the same way. Whether someone realizes it or not, personal finance is full of decisions, tradeoffs, consequences, and delayed outcomes. The difference is that in real life, there is no reset button. There is no easy restart after a poor decision. And that is exactly why financial literacy for Gen Z matters so much right now. Young adults are entering a world with rising costs, easy access to debt, nonstop financial noise on social media, and more pressure than ever to make smart money decisions early. Yet many are still being taught money the same old way: through lectures, formulas, compliance-based education, and disconnected advice that rarely sticks. That is a problem. And it is why this conversation stood out. It offered a fresh, practical, and deeply needed perspective on how to make financial education more real, more useful, and more transformative. What an Old Game Revealed About Real Money DecisionsWhat Financial Literacy for Gen Z Really RequiresWhy Financial Literacy for Gen Z Cannot Be an AfterthoughtThe Problem With Traditional Personal Finance Education for TeensFinancial Literacy Games May Succeed Where Lectures FailHow to Teach Teens Financial Literacy Through EntrepreneurshipWhy a Financial Literacy App for Teens Needs Real-World ApplicationWhy Gen Z Needs Financial Literacy Before They Face Major Money DecisionsFinancial Literacy for Gen Z Is About More Than MoneyThe Real Goal of Financial Literacy for Gen ZListen to the Full Episode on Financial Literacy for Gen ZBook A Strategy CallFAQWhat is the best way to teach teens financial literacy?How do financial literacy games help teens learn money?How can entrepreneurship teach kids about money?Why do college students need financial education? What Financial Literacy for Gen Z Really Requires When Bruce and I sat down with Lucy Taylor, we quickly realized we were not just discussing another financial app or another theory about teaching money. We were exploring a new model for financial literacy for Gen Z—one rooted in application, behavior, entrepreneurship, and real-world decision-making. Lucy is the founder of Aurum, a platform designed to teach personal finance through gaming, systems thinking, and mastery-based learning. What caught our attention was not only her creativity, but also her clarity. She understands something many people miss: knowing financial facts is not the same as knowing how to live financially well. In this blog, we want to unpack the biggest ideas from that conversation and show why they matter to you, your children, and the next generation. You will learn why traditional financial education often falls short, why financial literacy games and gamified learning may be more effective, how entrepreneurship trains better money habits, and why this matters so much for young adults facing real financial pressure. If you have ever wondered about the best way to teach teens financial literacy, or how to help young people develop wisdom and confidence around money, this conversation offers an important framework. Why Financial Literacy for Gen Z Cannot Be an Afterthought Gen Z is stepping into adulthood in a very different financial environment than prior generations. The cost of living is high. Credit is easy to access. Student loans can become overwhelming. Social media is flooded with flashy advice, hot takes, and financial personalities pushing strong opinions that may not be grounded in sound thinking. That makes financial literacy for Gen Z more than a nice idea. It is a necessity. One of the concerns Lucy raised in our discussion is that many young adults are encountering real financial decisions for the first time when the stakes are already high. They go off to college, open their first credit card, start managing expenses independently, and suddenly face an adult financial world without much preparation. A few meals out, a few rideshares, a few casual purchases, and debt begins to build. Quietly. Repeatedly. Often without a clear understanding of what is happening underneath the surface. This is why Gen Z personal finance education must go beyond abstract concepts. Young people do not simply need information. They need formation. They need the ability to think through the consequences of decisions before they feel trapped by them. And that kind of learning does not happen well through passive exposure alone. The Problem With Traditional Personal Finance Education for Teens Much of what passes for money education today is built around compliance. Sit through the lesson. Memorize the terms. Pass the quiz. Move on. But that model does not create real mastery. Bruce made this point clearly in the episode by talking about continuing education requirements in the financial world. Too often, the goal is not true understanding. It is simply completion. You click through material, take a test, and move on, whether or not anything meaningful was learned or applied. The same issue shows up in schools. Too much personal finance education for teens is delivered as information transfer rather than transformation. Students may hear about compound interest, budgeting, debt, or saving, but without a meaningful framework for application, that knowledge often stays stuck at the surface. That is not enough. If we want financial literacy for teens and young adults to actually shape behavior, we have to teach in a way that makes money feel connected to life. It has to matter. It has to feel immediate. It has to build skill, judgment, and confidence—not just familiarity with terms. That is where Lucy's emphasis on mastery learning is so helpful. Instead of just asking, “Did the student hear this?” the better question is, “Can they use it? Can they apply it? Can they make decisions with it?” That is a very different standard. Financial Literacy Games May Succeed Where Lectures Fail One of the most compelling parts of the conversation was Lucy's explanation of why financial literacy games may work better than traditional methods. Her insight was simple and powerful: money is already a game in the sense that it has rules, strategies, tradeoffs, and outcomes. The problem is that many people are thrown into the game of money without ever being taught how to play it well. Games create a lower-risk environment for learning. They allow someone to practice decisions, see outcomes, and develop intuition. That matters because behavior is shaped through repeated action, not just through explanation. This is why gamified financial literacy is such an intriguing model. It taps into how people actually learn. Instead of lecturing students about delayed gratification, systems thinking, and resource allocation, it allows them to experience those ideas in motion. That matters especially for younger learners. If a child or teen can begin to understand earning, saving, risk, tradeoffs, and long-term thinking through interactive experience, those lessons have a much better chance of sticking. A game can make invisible financial principles visible. It can show cause and effect. It can help someone feel the difference between impulsive decisions and disciplined ones. That is one reason game-based learning may be the best way to teach teens financial literacy. It is not because games are trendy. It is because good games are structured around action, feedback, and consequence. How to Teach Teens Financial Literacy Through Entrepreneurship Another major takeaway from the episode was the role of entrepreneurship. Lucy shared that her own money journey began early, selling eggs from her family's land and later building small businesses. That mattered because entrepreneurship teaches financial principles in a very real and practical way. It helps someone connect effort, value creation, revenue, expenses, profit, and decision-making. In other words, entrepreneurship turns money from something abstract into something lived. That is why teaching kids financial literacy through entrepreneurship is such a powerful idea. Even simple ventures can teach real principles. A lemonade stand, a lawn care service, selling handmade items, tutoring, or reselling books can all become training grounds for financial wisdom. Entrepreneurship teaches: Financial literacy for teens starts with earning When young people earn money themselves, they begin to understand effort, tradeoffs, and ownership in a new way. Financial literacy through games can reinforce delayed gratification Instead of spending immediately, they can learn to wait, reinvest, and build. Game-based financial education for kids and teens builds systems thinking They start seeing how small decisions connect to larger outcomes over time. Financial literacy and entrepreneurship for teens create confidence Young people begin to see that money is not just something that happens to them. It is something they can learn to manage wisely. This mindset shift is significant. Even if a young adult works a traditional job, entrepreneurial thinking still matters. As Lucy said, someone can be a W-2 employee and still manage money like a business owner. That means thinking intentionally, allocating resources wisely, and making decisions based on long-term outcomes rather than short-term emotion. ...

In the first instalment of our Frontier miniseries, we explore one of the most iconic symbols in American history: the Oregon Trail. For decades, thousands of Americans packed their lives into wooden wagons and set out for the West. They crossed sun-scorched plains without shade, climbed mountains without roads, and forded rivers that could turn deadly in an instant. Along the way, many buried loved ones beside the trail and pressed on.What compelled ordinary people to leave everything behind and walk nearly two thousand miles into uncertainty? How much did they truly understand about the dangers ahead? And what was daily life really like - day after exhausting day - on the trail?Our guest today is Stephen Aron, Calvin and Marilyn Gross Director and President & CEO of the Autry Museum of the American West. Stephen is Professor of History, Emeritus at the University of California, Los Angeles. His works include ‘The American West: A Very Short Introduction,' and most recently ‘Peace and Friendship: An Alternative History of the American West.'Edited by Tim Arstall.

Before there was a movie, there was a man who lived it. We all know the story of the accidental hero who wandered through history, rubbing elbows with presidents and changing the world by mistake. But what if that story wasn't fiction? In this episode, we trace the impossible footsteps of a figure who defined the 19th century.Follow the journey of a man who: Survived the rugged Oregon Trail during the height of the expansion. Navigated the treacherous Mississippi as a high-stakes steamboat captain. Chased a fortune as a silver and gold miner in the wild West. Crossed the Atlantic Ocean six times, becoming one of the first true global celebrities. Revolutionized modern life by inventing and patenting the everyday bra strap clasp. He wasn't just a witness to history—he was the one writing it. Join us as we peel back the layers of a life so cinematic, it's hard to believe he was ever real. You might think you know who we're talking about, but the final destination is a name you'd never expect to find sitting on that bench.

My headphones weren't charged. My phone was at 9%. I forgot my medicine and had to turn around in the driveway. So yeah — we're already off to a strong start. And today we're talking about something equally annoying: California trying to ban certain 3D printers. Not because they're dangerous. Not because they're exploding. But because the government is afraid of what people might do with them. Let's get into it. The Headline Is Clickbait… But Also Not The headline reads something like: “California to Ban 3D Printers.” That's bombastic. That's designed to grab attention. But it's not entirely wrong. What they're really trying to do is ban non-approved 3D printers, restrict file sharing, and criminalize ways of bypassing those restrictions — all aimed at stopping people from printing “ghost guns.” Ghost guns meaning: firearms printed from polymer without serial numbers. Here's the issue. This isn't a widespread crisis. This is government reacting to a hypothetical problem. 3D Printers Are Still in Their Infancy 3D printers right now are like computers in 1992. How many people had one back then? A few. Most of them weren't doing anything groundbreaking. They were playing Oregon Trail. That's where 3D printing is right now. If you think of ten people you know, maybe one owns a 3D printer. And of those owners? How many are truly using them to their full potential? Most of them sit there like a treadmill with clothes hanging on it. The narrative being pushed makes it sound like garages across America are mass-producing plastic arsenals. That's just not reality. Government Overreach Is the Real Pattern This isn't about safety. It's about control. We've seen this pattern before: Rainwater catchment restrictions.Filter bans.Endless regulatory creep. Every time there's a new tool that increases individual capability, the instinct is to regulate it before it's even a measurable threat. And once a government starts restricting hardware, restricting file sharing, and criminalizing workarounds — that's not about safety anymore. That's about controlling information and capability. That should concern you whether you own a 3D printer or not. Are 3D Printed Guns Even a Real Issue? Here's a question: How many major shootings have involved fully 3D-printed firearms? Not hypotheticals. Not headlines. Not fear narratives. Actual confirmed cases. Very, very few — if any. Most violent crime still involves traditional firearms obtained through traditional means. So we're building legislation around something that's statistically insignificant. Meanwhile, 3D printers are used to make: ToolsRepair partsAdaptersHobby projectsPrototypesFunctional survival gear But because something could be misused, we're talking about banning the tool entirely. That's backwards. If You Live There… You Already Know At some point, you have to ask: Why are you staying in a state that constantly moves the goalposts? You can fight every single regulation. You can try to out-argue lawmakers. Or you can recognize patterns. When governments show you who they are repeatedly, believe them. Sometimes the most strategic move isn't fighting every skirmish. It's relocating to ground that isn't actively hostile to your independence. Freedom isn't about screaming at politicians. It's about positioning yourself where you don't need their permission. Final Thoughts This isn't about 3D printers. It's about capability. Every time technology empowers individuals, there will be pressure to restrict it. The question is simple: Do you want a society where tools are allowed unless proven dangerous? Or one where tools are restricted because someone might misuse them? Preppers understand this better than most. Capability equals resilience. Resilience equals freedom. And freedom doesn't survive well under constant regulation. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.

Americans are capable of achieving extraordinary things when they have the freedom and opportunity to do so. This is American Potential, and in this episode, host David From continues the “50 Stars, 50 Stories” series with a February-themed deep dive into the states that joined the Union during this month. David is joined by Ross Connolly, Americans for Prosperity's regional state director for the Northeast, and Stephen Shadegg, AFP's state director in Arizona. Together, they test their knowledge with fast-paced trivia covering Oregon, Massachusetts, and Arizona—touching on everything from the Oregon Trail and Salem's witch trials to the Grand Canyon and Pluto's discovery in Flagstaff. But the conversation doesn't stop at history. Ross and Stephen also share what's happening today in their regions. Stephen discusses Arizona's housing affordability crisis, energy policy, and long-term infrastructure challenges tied to rapid growth. Ross highlights how voters across the Northeast are pushing back against rising costs driven by bad energy and housing policy, and why there's real hope even in states that often get overlooked in national conversations. It's a lively mix of American history, state pride, and forward-looking policy—proof that understanding where we came from can help shape where we're going next.

A historic rout in the precious metals markets steals the spotlight this week on Volatility Views. From silver's massive 25% intraday drop to the naming of a new (and hawkish) Fed Chair nominee, the panel breaks down why the "Metals Apocalypse" might be a canary in the coal mine for the broader equity markets. Join Mark Longo, Dr. Russell Rhoads, and Mark Sebastian as they navigate a high-velocity week of volatility, earnings, and unusual institutional positioning in the VIX. Episode Highlights The Silver Slump The "Meme-ification" of silver reached a breaking point this week. After months of triple-digit volatility levels, silver prices cratered 25% in a single session. The panel discusses whether this 46-year historic event suggests a broader 20% retracement for the S&P 500 is on the horizon. Fed Chair Shakeup The market reacted negatively to the news of Kevin Warsh potentially taking the helm at the Fed. While he has campaigned for lower rates, his history as an inflation hawk has traders worried about a return to a strict "dual mandate" focus that might not be as market-friendly as the Powell era. Unusual VIX Activity Despite the market sell-off, we aren't seeing "panic" buying in near-term VIX options. Instead, institutional paper is flowing into March and April, including a massive 80,000-contract diagonal spread involving June 47.5 calls. Is it a hedge, or just a sophisticated carry trade? Notable Quotes "When gold and silver catch a cold, the miners catch every single disease you could possibly catch from the Oregon Trail. They're getting dysentery, typhoid, and malaria all at once." — Mark Sebastian "If you blink, you miss a move up in VIX futures. That's the only opportunity to make money being long them, and it leads to massive upside fatigue." — Dr. Russell Rhoads Resources Mentioned Brokerage: https://Tastytrade.com/podcasts Social Media: Follow the crew on X: @Options, @OptionPit , @Rhoads_Russell .

Horsey got them BELL BOTTOM LEGS!Welcome back, darlings, form your intrepid and barely alive hosts! MARIO LOPEZ IS GONNA RUN VENEZUELA and things simply could not be more regular.After a beautiful month of resting and festering, we slither back to you in worse shape than ever. Why? The CDC will never tell

You ever go on a field trip at school and every time you look over your shoulder, there's a teacher or chaperone giving you the stink eye? Well try to imagine a field trip where you look up and all your old relatives are waving you into a tunnel of white light. On today's very special milestone 100th Episode:  you'll hear about my school trip to a French strip club; you would learn about a man of God who unintentionally brought a flock of young faithful to meet him; and you will see why I believe riding through a tornado would be somehow less frightening and uncomfortable than the rigors of today's story.And if you had been listening on Patreon… you would learn how a single school trip shaped my entire world view while listening to Chaka Khan; you would hear about some of the worst ways people have finished school trips unexpectedly early; you would learn about the fake US president who died from the largest landslide ever recorded in human history; and you would learn how today's tragedy could have prevented by simple diarrhea. I mentioned the Oregon Trail earlier in this episode, specifically the Oregon Trail video game from the 80s. It was made as a learning tool about decision making and resource management, but it also teaches that you can do everything right and still die. It's an important thing to remember, and beyond that, this episode taught me how one very young brush with death became the moment this show was born – I just didn't know it yet. It's a long story, and I preserved it for Patreon. For them, I also finished the episode with Chaka Khan's “I Feel For You”, to let you judge just how much or how little it feels like the jam you would have wanted to die to.I mention two things at the end of the episode. First I wanted to call out Kala and her husband Ben for kind of exercisming things at Funeral Kazoo and looking to do some cool stuff for future of the show. Ben, being a native of the American Northwest, yelled in my face that he wanted an episode from this land we've never visited. I said, Ben, I'll get you your dead children, watch me go – and here we are. I'm never happy when a story involves the death of children, but almost half of the would-be victims bailed with cramps and gas and all sorts of things and unknowingly saved themselves from making today's story worse. The second thing was that I would post a very short video on Patreon for paid and unpaid members to hopefully see grief in a different way. I'm going to encourage you to stop thinking of your life as a straight-line journey from cradle to grave and more like a tree, spinning around the sun every year, growing and maturing and changing from the inside-out. I want you to think about grief like a roadblock you keep having to hurdle, that gets just a little bit easier with every try. Head over the Patreon.com/funeralkazoo, sign up as a free member and give it a try. If it helps, I'm overjoyed. Celebrity guest stars include listener of the show and snowcat un-enthusiast, Jeremy Renner; 33rd president of the United States, Harry Truman; local area moron and head wound collector, Homer Simpson; and 80s dance floor filler, Chaka Khan.–––––THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn't exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it's been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone. I don't do this for you, so much as I do this because of you.

From the 1830s until the arrival of the transcontinental railroad, hundreds of thousands of people packed their possessions into wagons and headed west, seeking land and opportunity. Following in the footsteps of Native Americans and fur trading ‘mountain men', many travelled for several months along what became known as the Oregon Trail. But as Don hears from YouTube history teacher Mr Beat (youtube.com/c/iammrbeat), not all would succeed. Miles from civilisation, people succumbed to disease, dangerous river crossings and attacks by Native Americans, whose land they were crossing and on which they intended to settle.Produced by Benjie Guy.

Glens Ferry, Idaho is the kind of place where history never really goes away—where the Oregon Trail carved tragedy into the land, where the old railroad still hums with memories, and where the abandoned buildings feel like they're waiting for someone to notice them again. But for one kid growing up there, the strange history wasn't something he learned from a museum. It was something he saw with his own eyes—something that shouldn't have been possible. He and a friend were just cutting through the railroad district, taking a shortcut like kids do, when they passed the massive old warehouse everyone ignored. The kind with metal walls, rows of garage doors, and dark corners that swallow sound. Nothing unusual… until they noticed one of the doors sitting slightly open. And beneath it—just visible in the shadow—were two small legs. What happened next sent both boys sprinting into the warehouse—certain they were about to catch a friend playing a prank. But what they found inside. It didn't match anything logical. And it didn't match anything human. #ghoststory #paranormal #haunted #realghoststories #ghoststoriesonline #creepyencounter #trueghoststory #urbanexploration #railroadghost #hauntedwarehouse #idahoghosts #oregontrailspirits Love real ghost stories?
