Episode Date: August 29, 2026This episode of Infinite Plane Saturn Day, broadcasted on August 29, 2026, serves as an intellectual critique of the “Metascript”—the simulated, highly controlled reality that governs both mainstream and alternative news cycles. The host opens with a temporal alignment: August 29th is the exact date Skynet becomes self-aware in Terminator 2, which timed perfectly with the film's theatrical re-release starting yesterday. He explains that directors like James Cameron and Christopher Nolan are “meta-scripters” who use highly realistic cinematic propaganda to prepare the public mind for faked historical events, notably impending nuclear psychological operations.The host connects these scripts to current events, pointing to Russia's “Poseidon” nuclear-powered submarine and its mirroring in the television show The Diplomat. To the host, this concurrent programming is designed to educate the public on how to respond to an eventual faked sea-based attack. He expands this critique to “MKUltra,” arguing that mainstream and alternative media are actually modern branches of the same trauma-induced mind control system.A significant portion of the broadcast is dedicated to exposing alternative media gatekeepers, or what the host calls “Trutherville”. By confronting alt-media influencer Amazing Polly over her assertions that the Trump shooting in Butler was real, the host demonstrates how the “main and alt” duopoly functions. He argues that both sides reinforce false premises, solidifying fake events in the public consensus. He states that figures like Charlie Kirk are constructed characters, and faked deaths like those in Butler or the J6 riots are heavily choreographed performances designed to manufacture a false worldview.The host also dissects common conspiracy narratives, dismissing chemtrails as a simple weather-dependent phenomenon where hot jet exhaust condenses in the freezing stratosphere. He explains that politicians merely pander to these beliefs to capture the “chud vote”. Similarly, the Mandela Effect is analyzed as retroactive interference—a gaslighting tactic that implants false memories in a highly suggestible, “auto-disbelieving” truther audience. Interwoven with personal reflections about his own DoorDash shifts, temporary Starlink outages, and the upcoming second edition of his handbook, the host delivers a sharp wake-up call. He warns his audience that they have until September 11th to sever ties with alternative media “shepherds” and make the transition into “Realville”.Key Takeaways (5 Bullet Points)* The Metascript and Predictive Programming: The host argues that elite “meta-scripters” like James Cameron and Christopher Nolan use cinema to prime the mass consciousness for future faked events, such as nuclear catastrophes, by aligning movie plots with real-world timelines.* The Poseidon Threat and Geopolitical Integration: The broadcast highlights the concurrent release of The Diplomat Season 4 and Russia's “Poseidon” nuclear torpedo as a structured effort to “educate” the public ahead of a simulated sea-based crisis.* The Mainstream-Alternative Duopoly: Using his confrontation with Amazing Polly as an example, the host asserts that both mainstream and alternative media share the same false starting premises to solidify simulated events (like J6 or the Butler shooting) into accepted history.* Deconstructing Conspiracy Tropes: The host refutes popular alternative theories, characterizing chemtrails as basic water condensation from hot jet exhaust and the Mandela Effect as retroactively implanted false memories designed to gaslight vulnerable followers.* The Transition to “Realville”: Listeners are urged to fully abandon the “anti” and “pro” dialectics of “Trutherville” before the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and migrate to “Realville,” where critical thinkers process media through systematic pattern recognition rather than emotional reactions.Key Episode Quotes (5 Quotes)* “James Cameron loaded Terminator 2 and Titanic from 97 With 9-11 predictive programming, and on 9-11, he was at the scene of the sunken Titanic.”* “And that's what predictive programming does. It is there to educate the public about what's going to be faked so they know what it's going to be.”* “We are a fake news wood chipper at this point.”* “...my essential premise here is that main and alt are in fact a duopoly. They both start with the exact same premise, which is always false.”* “Yeah, mainstream media is MKUltra. Alt-media, MKUltra. I've stepped out of both.”

Patrick opens the phones to pressing questions from listeners, ranging from the biblical foundation of venerating saints and the meaning of adoration for children, to the thorny issue of honoring public figures whose values clash with Catholic teaching. He fields heartfelt stories about family, faith, loss, and the afterlife, tossing in advice on breaking anxious thought patterns and offering clarity on the difference between Greek mythology and Christianity for curious kids. Raul – Is venerating saints biblical? (00:30) Mary - I was reading a book on Dolly Parton. She was one of 13 who grew up extremely poor. Being very poor doesn't diminish the impact you could have on the world. (02:19) Johnny - I am listening to Cyrus glorify Dolly Parton. What are your thoughts on her promoting pride month and gay people? She led people to continue on in her sin. Does God love those in hell? (03:28) Christian (email) - All this talk about Lindsay Clancy has stirred up a question… (10:05) Ann - Is wearing a Rosary sinful? (13:42) Cindy - I lost my dog last year. I prayed that God would open the gates of heaven for my dog. I think God gave me a sign she was in heaven. My priest agrees. (20:48) Gloria - Our fantastic priest said he wants all catechism kids to sit in a half hour of Adoration every other Wednesday and also go to a Mass. How does he expect kids to sit for half an hour quietly. (23:58) Pablo (email) - In light of the release of the movie the Odyssey, how do I explain to my kids the difference between Ancient Greek religion (Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, etc.) and Christianity? (36:42) Sandy - I have negative thoughts that spin into a conversation in my head. How can I stop this? (42:23)

Jace and Rocky break down all 11 DC releases for the week of August 12, 2026. In Green Lantern Corps #19, Guy Gardner brings the Lanterns bonded to the emotional entities together around a new idea: their individual emotions remain distinct, but they may now be able to draw on the entire emotional spectrum when they need it. In Barbara Gordon: Breakout #4, Barbara finally meets one of the innocent people she entered prison to find—a cop locked up for refusing to play along with Vandal Savage—while Sparrow's murder gives the story some badly needed forward momentum. In Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #2, someone is impersonating Clayface, and his attempt to uncover who is behind it becomes much more personal when a friend he confides in is murdered. In Fury of Firestorm #5, Firehawk briefly reaches the Ronnie Raymond trapped inside the Firestorm Matrix, but Professor Stein's reaction when the sentient Matrix calls him "father" raises new questions about whether his supposed remorse was ever genuine. In Emperor Aquaman #20, Arthur moves his fight with Poseidon away from Earth so he can finally cut loose, and the God of the Sea gets a firsthand demonstration of just how terrifyingly powerful Aquaman has become. In Absolute Batman #23, Bruce's obsession with Jack Grimm has reached the point where he believes virtually every defining moment in his life was deliberately engineered, leaving his oldest friends wondering whether Batman has gone too far. The Nice House by the Sea #11, the penultimate issue of the second arc, finally delivers major answers and forward momentum for the larger mystery while still making the revelation involving Oliver land through the character drama that has defined the series. In Supergirl #16, still believing Superman is missing, Kara takes responsibility for the House of El as Zod's larger plan begins coming into focus and a female Eradicator unexpectedly enters the conflict. In Bleeding Hearts #7, Poke's growing bond with Rabbit and her mother shows him becoming increasingly human, but that fragile connection is threatened when Rabbit is grievously injured by one of the undead. In Batman and Robin: Year One — Dynamic Duos #1, a young Bruce nearly loses control when a group of kids mug him and his date, while an encounter with the Wolfpack gives him another early lesson in becoming the Batman he will eventually be. In Action Comics #1101, Lois Lane proves why she is a Pulitzer-winning reporter by getting under General Zod's skin, probing for his real agenda and deliberately keeping him talking because she knows he may be planning to kill her. Meanwhile, Superman has returned, but will it be just to face defeat at the hands of Zod? Jace and Rocky also cover the week's collected editions, reprints and facsimiles before ranking all 11 books and revealing their Books of the Week.

Jace and Rocky review Emperor Aquaman #20 from DC Comics. Poseidon believes Arthur Curry has no right to wield the power of the Blue, but after their battle threatens Earth, Aquaman transports them somewhere he can finally stop holding back. The guys discuss the brutal payoff, what Poseidon's surrender says about Arthur's new power level and why Jeremy Adams continues making Emperor Aquaman one of DC's most overlooked books.

With Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey bringing Homer's ancient epic back into the spotlight, Cultish sits down with Professor Owen Anderson to explore what lies beneath the gods, monsters, and legendary hero's journey. From the polytheistic world of Homer to the deeper spiritual ideas that have shaped Western storytelling, the conversation asks whether Nolan is simply adapting a pagan classic—or transforming it into something very different. What if Odysseus' greatest enemy isn't Poseidon, the Cyclops, or the journey home—but his own sin? And what if this ancient pagan story ultimately points toward something the Greek gods could never provide: redemption? The conversation explores the striking contrast between the traditional pagan hero's journey and what Professor Anderson describes as a distinctly Christian arc of sin, confession, sacrifice, and redemption. Along the way, the episode examines Greek mythology, the biblical worldview, the spiritual reality behind pagan gods, and the enduring influence Christianity has had on the way the Western world understands stories like The Odyssey.

In this August 10, 2026 episode of Colonize the Ocean, Brendon Traxler kicks off a mini-series on ambitious underwater habitats and resorts that never made it.He dives into the biggest name of them all: Poseidon Undersea Resorts, the project led by Bruce Jones of U.S. Submarines. The domain dates back to 2003 (over 20 years old), and the idea itself is even older—Jones had been floating concepts for an underwater habitat years earlier.The website is still online and looks solid, but the project went dead in the water. Last social media activity was in 2014, when they claimed they were about 36 months away (pointing to a 2016 opening). Nothing ever happened. Jones later shifted focus more toward private submarines.Brendon believes it was a genuine effort—not just a PR stunt. The designs were stunning and could have delivered a strong return, but the price tag (likely around half a billion dollars) was massive. Like so many other underwater projects, it simply never materialized.He asks listeners: Do you remember Poseidon? Did you ever want to stay there?

Alô Alô, tudo bem? Mais uma semana de festa se passou e este ano, não sei se foi da Odisseia ou não, mas convidaram o Deus Hades, Poseidon e mais o outro das tempestades para revirar isso tudo. Odisseia foi também comer massa fresca em São Miguel. Não recomendo. As minhas preces vão para os lesados do casamento do ronaldo. Ninguém merece invandir o casamento errado. Muita força, guerreiros.

We're going to talk about issues related to our moods, our ideas, emotions, etc. The Esoteric Path is narrow, constricted, and difficult. We normally live in a world of sensory experiences, which is the Physical World. Through external sensory perceptions, we form our concepts of content, with which we reason. Reasoning and the Sensory Perceptions Thus, the reasoning we normally use is based solely on sensory assemblies. Given that these assemblies are its foundation, it is obvious that this type of reasoning is conditioned precisely by them. Reason, therefore, is subjective and hypothetical from every point of view, since it is based on the information our senses provide. And so, if we form concepts of content from these sensory perceptions, and then distribute these concepts in one way or another, they give us ordinary, formal logical reasoning. Do you really believe that this type of reasoning (based solely on external sensory perceptions) could allow us to verify reality? If the concepts of content have been developed precisely from the data provided by our physical senses, it is obvious that such concepts of content cannot transcend the mystical-sensory realm. We will now explain why ordinary reasoning is called “subjective reasoning.” What could Subjective Reasoning possibly know about Reality, about Truth, about God, about life beyond the grave, about what exists beyond the world of the senses, about what lies beyond death? Obviously, this reasoning, based solely on content concepts developed from the data provided by our physical senses, can only operate within its own limitations. It can only be processed within the realm of the mystical-sensory; it could never transcend the concepts of content through which it was formed. So, how can we reach the EXPERIENCE OF REALITY and TRUTH? There are various techniques in MEDITATION, etc., but above all, it requires possessing what is called “Faith.” Faith and Meditation lead us to Enlightenment Orthodox dogma teaches that “faith is belief in what we do not see.” This kind of Orthodox faith is not authentic faith. Faith, in itself, is a solar power. But how do we attain such power? Therein lies the problem… Is it possible to attain Faith? The Physical Senses cannot provide it; they will provide us with data with which (I repeat) we will develop our concepts of content, which are so fundamental to reasoning, up to a point! But that Solar-type Faith, the one that goes beyond simple Subjective Reasoning, the one that has such extraordinary power as to move mountains, the one that combined with Meditation leads us to Enlightenment, is not possible to obtain with the simple reports that the Physical Senses give us. Some ask for faith, they cry out for faith. It's good to pray, but as the saying goes, “Pray to God, but keep hammering away”… So, what to do? Truly, to attain faith, above all, you have to create it; faith is not something that can be achieved empirically. I repeat: YOU HAVE TO CREATE IT. And how is it created? Through STUDY and EXPERIENCE. It is obvious that through study and Direct Experience, by means of the technique of Meditation, we will come to COMPREHEND, and from that Comprehension comes, spontaneously, that which is called “Faith.” Comprehension, in itself, does not belong to the Mind; it is an exclusive property of the THIRD LOGOS, of LORD SHIVA, of BINAH (the Great Sephiroth, one of the Three Supreme Sephiroth), of the Holy Spirit… If we are experiencing through meditation, if we are studying something—some transcendental subject—if we strive to comprehend it, it is obvious that the first thing we will have is the mystical experience (as a result of study and meditation); then comes comprehension, that spark of light given to us by the Third Logos. He comes to our aid to give us comprehension, and from such comprehension comes faith. Comprehension (I repeat, so that I am clearly understood) is based on the Third Logos, and from this comprehension comes Faith. Therefore, if Comprehension is based on the Third Logos and from this comprehension comes Faith, then obviously the very root of Faith is in the Third Logos, that is, in the Holy Spirit. The many Degrees on the Path of Initiation But in acquiring faith, there are degrees and degrees, scales and scales, systems and systems. Obviously, my dear brothers, when I refer to “systems and systems,” I am referring to hierarchical matters: Solar Systems, Worlds, Universes, Atomic Systems, etc. As for the practical means or system for achieving faith, it is none other than the one I have already mentioned… I emphasize the idea that there are degrees and degrees, because knowledge is multiple, multifaceted. For example: Suppose we are ignorant of the Law of Eternal Return; we are informed, but we know nothing. What should we do? How can we come to have faith in this Law? We must first study the Doctrine of the Eternal Return of all things. Through intellectual understanding, we will come to know that the stars return to their starting point after many years; that the atoms within the molecule always return to their original starting point; that the Sun has an elliptical orbit, returning south and then north each year… Through this understanding, we will be able to know that days and nights, seasons, and ages return… We will also learn, through this information, that the Law of Eternal Return allows us to come back, to be reborn, to have a new body after we have lost the one we have. That much is obvious, but that's where it ends! We need something more: We need to REMEMBER OUR PAST LIVES, that's obvious. As long as we don't have the memory of our previous lives, we can't say we know, no! We'll have the theory accumulated in the mind, but that's not true KNOWLEDGE. So, what should we do? First of all, we need to investigate; there are systems for remembering past lives. Gautama, the Buddha, taught the method of RETROSPECTION, and it is wonderful. But how could we come to have faith, for example, in the method taught by Gautama the Buddha? There is only one way. How? First, study; second, practice. From study and practice comes understanding; then, as a result, faith arises; and with faith, we will successfully practice the retrospective exercise. The Practice The exercise is easy and simple: Begin lying in bed, with your body relaxed. You must remember, concentrate on the last events of the day, the ones before that, the ones before that; and thus, in retrospect, recall, relive all the incidents of the day. We will then proceed with the incidents of the previous day, also in retrospect. Then we will continue trying to remember what we did on the day before last; and so, with that process, we will try to remember the last 15 days of our life, the penultimate 15 days, everything we did in the past month and the month before last, and what we did in a year and in 10 and in 20 years. We will strive to remember all the events of life, always in retrospect. When we reach the first five years of childhood, the problem arises: How can we remember the events of our lives when we were four, three, two, one years old? How? We have no choice but to COMBINE MEDITATION WITH SLEEP: In moments when we feel predisposed to sleep, we will practice the exercise, trying to meticulously recall all the incidents of our lives when we were four, three, two, one… The memories will emerge in flashes, like lightning, like bursts of light, etc… Those first flashes (memories of early childhood) resulting, first, from having known the practice, the study; second, from having practiced the retrospective exercise, those memories or those flashes, those visions, let's say, of a lightning-like type, will give us Faith in the exercise (a Solar-type Faith), and the more we remember the occurrences of early childhood, the more Faith will increase. And when we have remembered our entire life, up to the very moment of birth, then we can make the leap to the last moment (to the last moment of the previous life). If we can remember it, if we can picture ourselves surrounded by our family in our final moments, then our faith will be rekindled, it will be even stronger. We will say: “What an extraordinary exercise, I am happy with this practice!” And as we continue our retrospective exercise, we will recall the final years of our past existence, the penultimate years, the years before the penultimate, our youth, our adolescence, our childhood, the moment we were born in our past existence. When we achieve this, we will possess an unwavering, solar-type Faith, unshakeable. Someone might come and tell us that “this exercise is useless,” and we would laugh at them. The greatest reasoner might come and try to destroy us, and we would laugh at them (we would be sustained by Faith, the product of STUDY and EXPERIENCE). Then we would say, “I know the Law of the Eternal Return of all things,” but we would no longer say it in a merely empirical, intellectual, or reasoned way; rather, we would speak it with firsthand knowledge. We could say, “I have returned, and here I am!”; and we would speak it with such certainty that we would move many. Thus, we would have acquired Faith through the retrospective exercise. This procedure, taught by Gautama Buddha Shakyamuni, allows us to remember all our previous existences; it is a marvelous exercise. But it is one thing for you to hear a statement, an explanation, and another thing entirely to put it into practice. When you hear the discourse on such an exercise, you receive INFORMATION; you are, in fact, STUDYING. But when you practice, you are PRACTICING; and from study and practice comes comprehension; and as a result of comprehension, Faith. This comprehension is given to us by the Third Logos; and it is Faith, the definitive result of experience, verification, and comprehension. So, brothers, there is no other way to have Faith. But if you manage to develop, for example, Faith in retrospect, Faith in the Law of the Eternal Return of all things (based on study, experience, and comprehension), it does not mean, for that reason, that you have, for example, COMPLETE FAITH in other matters, such as the existence of Atlantis. You may have heard that Atlantis existed, but you have no proof of it; you receive it as news, you may accept it, but you have no real proof of it. IMAGINATION and WILL So, to find out if Atlantis existed, you would first need to verify that information by studying where Atlantis was located. That it was in the Atlantic Ocean, fine! What physical evidence, what data is there, what are its legends, traditions, etc.? Once we have all that data, then we need to verify it. How will we verify it? Through the technique of meditation. We will have to lie down in our bed (preferably with our head facing North), our body completely relaxed, our eyes closed, at a moment when we feel predisposed to sleep, and we must concentrate intently on Atlantis, combining IMAGINATION and WILL in vibrant harmony. Let us remember that Imagination is feminine; it is worth mentioning that Will is masculine, and that in the combination of these two polarities lies the key to all Power. Therefore, we must not underestimate the Imagination; there is a very marked tendency to underestimate the Imagination. Some say: “Those are things of the Imagination, I accept them because…, or it's a thing of my Imagination,” that is, they do not know how to appreciate the value of the Imagination. Distinguish between INTENTIONAL IMAGINATION and MECHANICAL IMAGINATION. Intentional Imagination is the “TRANSLUCENT” that allows us to see the great realities of the Inner Worlds. Mechanical Imagination is FANTASY; it is formed from the detritus of memory. Let us, therefore, distinguish between IMAGINATION and FANTASY. To underestimate Imagination is absurd. Therefore, we must develop our imagination, cultivate it… If we concentrate properly (I repeat) on Atlantis, with relaxed bodies, vividly imagining the Atlantean continent; if we unite Will and Imagination in vibrant harmony (wanting to see Atlantis); if we practice daily, imagining it there in the Atlantic Ocean, seeing a group of marvelous islands, among them Poseidon's island with its seven solid gold gates, etc.; if we truly practice, what will happen? That one day, we will see Atlantis… Obviously, there are three phases in Initiatic Knowledge: 1. IMAGINATION 2. INSPIRATION 3. INTUITION Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition are the three obligatory paths of Initiation. We will vividly imagine the Atlantean Continent, just as it was there, situated in the ocean that bears its name (the walled cities, etc.) And our Will will be “TO WANT TO SEE”, and our Imagination will be TO WAIT, TO BE IN A RECEPTIVE STATE, to see what comes to the Imagination. One day, among many others, glimpses of Atlantis will begin to reach our imagination, and the images of that ancient continent will grow ever more vivid. We will see its inhabitants, its cities, and if we are persistent in this practice, the day will come when we will be able to see the Atlantean continent perfectly, in its entirety. These glimpses will give us faith, but that faith will increase when we move on to the second aspect, which is called “inspiration.” Being inspired, we will feel within ourselves what Atlantis was like; we will know of its life and its tragedies. A third level will lead us to INTUITION. And then, through Intuition, we will not only be able to see clairvoyantly and come to feel the vivid emotions of the people, etc., of the Atlantean Continent, but we will also be able to study, in its entirety, the life of that continent, of that humanity, in the very Sealed Archives of Nature, in the AKASHIC RECORDS. When that happens, we will have much more Faith. Then we see how Faith is susceptible to development. Someone can have faith in one thing and not in another. Whoever wants to have faith in everything will have to study deeply and experience, and then, as a result of study and direct experience, comes comprehension, and as a consequence or corollary of such comprehension, comes faith which (as I already told you) obviously has its roots in the same Third Logos. This is how faith develops: through study and experience… That's all I have to say. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.
Homer’s epic The Odyssey—retold in this summer’s blockbuster—is built around one longing: to get home. The Greeks even had a word for it: nostos, or “homecoming.” It’s where we get the word “nostalgia”—literally, the ache of home. For ten years, Odysseus fights his way past hostile gods just to reach Ithaca—Poseidon, the Sirens, the Cyclops, and more. Here’s the difference: we don’t have to fight our way home. We just have to find our way back. Jesus said it plainly, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

For ten years, Odysseus fights his way past hostile gods just to reach Ithaca—Poseidon, the Sirens, the Cyclops, and more. Here’s the difference: we don’t have to fight our way home. We just have to find our way back. Jesus said it plainly, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

No dia 2 de dezembro de 1982, um jovem negro levava sua namorada no cinema, para ver um filme de lobisomem. A menina ficou com tanto medo que saiu da sala assustada. O jovem a segue, mas, de repente, eles são cercados por zumbis e tudo acaba em… dança? O clipe de Thriller revolucionou a história da música e deixou explícito o amor do grande Michael Jackson ao cinema de horror. Mas não só de Thriller vive um especial sobre o rei do pop. Ao longo de sua história, Jackson teve vários flertes e romances com nosso gênero favorito. Do clássico cult Ben, o Rato Assassino, de 1972, até o longuíssimo clipe Ghosts (1996), passando pelas nádegas avantajadas de Jermaine Jaafar Jackson, o episódio dessa semana promete muitos gritinhos e moonwalks.O RdMCast é produzido e apresentado por: Gabriel Braga, Gabi Larocca e Thiago Natário.Apoie o RdM e receba recompensas exclusivas: https://apoia.se/rdmCITADOS NO PROGRAMA:Clipe de ThrillerClipe de GhostsMichael Jackson's Moonwalker – Full Game – Part 1/3Ben, o Rato Assassino (1972)O Mágico Inesquecível (1978)Captain EO (1986)Moonwalker (1988)Michael Jackson's Ghosts (1996)Michael (2026)Citações off topic:Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)Elvis (2022)The Dirt – Confissões do Mötley Crüe (2019)Rocketman (2019)Calafrio (1971)O Destino do Poseidon (1972)A Vingança de Willard (2003)Blacula, O Vampiro Negro (1972)Blackenstein: The Black Frankenstein (1973)Um Lobisomem Americano em Londres (1981)EPISÓDIOS CITADOS:RdMCast #318 – Todo Mundo em PânicoRdMCast #490 – Isso deu um remake: LobisomemRdMCast #319 – Especial LobisomensSiga o RdMYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Rep%C3%BAblicadoMedoInstagram: @republicadomedoTwitter: @RdmcastEntre em contato através do: contato@republicadomedo.com.brLoja do RdMConheça nossos produtos: https://lojaflutuante.com.br/?produto=RdmPODCAST EDITADO PORFelipe LourençoESTÚDIO GRIM – Design para conteúdo digitalPortfólio: https://estudiogrim.com.br/Instagram: @estudiogrimContato: contato@estudiogrim.com.br
Closing weekend arrived for two very different roller coasters: ArieForce One at Fun Spot Atlanta and Kumba at Busch Gardens Tampa both took their final riders this past weekend, and Mike and EB dig into the real math behind why an $18 million RMC almost never survives in a family entertainment center, no matter how loudly the enthusiast line chants "save this ride." Listener trip reports roll in live from the queue. From there, the news comes in hot: Knott's Berry Farm's long-delayed MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress reportedly cost Six Flags a stunning $20 million for what's ultimately a 1978 shuttle loop with new paint and fog machines (and it's still not open), Universal is demolishing what's left of the beloved Poseidon's Fury show building as the Lost Continent disappears for good, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg drops a sneaky social media tease revealing a full rebuild is coming to the old Corkscrew Hill simulator building. Then the regional parks get serious about Halloween: Kings Island, Carowinds, and Six Flags Great Adventure are all getting a Friday the 13th-themed Jason house, SeaWorld parks are doing I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Busch Gardens is bringing Anaconda to life — which inspires the guys who bring Anaconda's villain Paul Sarone back from the dead to review every snake-named roller coaster in the country. After the break, Mike and EB get into the business side of the show, walking through a full overhaul of Coaster Radio's Patreon tiers — including a new producer-only Discord channel — before wrapping with a water park trip report from Crete and a juicy Screamscape rumor that Kings Island's aging Arrow suspended coaster, The Bat, might be on the chopping block to make room for something new.

Inner compassion is the foundation for how you treat yourself and everyone else. It’s how your energy enters a room and is felt before you say a word. In this podcast episode, Meg Reilly talks about extending the same kindness to yourself that you’d offer a good friend. Building Inner Compassion The podcast interview started even though I forgot hit record. When we finished, my heart sank as I realized that mistake meant there was no recording. We had to start over. My first reaction was to feel embarrassed and unprofessional. What a dumb thing to do. With sadness in my voice, I told Meg what happened. We laughed a bit uncomfortably. Then I asked if she had time to do the interview again. She did – phew and on we went. How interesting that our conversation was about compassion and that the best place to start is with yourself. Meg asked something that made me stop and think. If a good friend made that same mistake, would I give them a hard time about it or be kind and supportive? Most people do not treat themselves as well as they treat dear friends. Treat Yourself Like You’d Treat Your Best Friend Meg’s coaching and writing focus on helping people live with more inner compassion. She has a simple way to check for it. When you make a mistake, stop and ask yourself what you’d say to a friend who did that same thing. You wouldn’t call her names or rehash the mistake for the next several hour, right? No, you’d say, “It’s okay. What should we do now?” That’s the kindness you owe yourself too. Meg admits this doesn’t always happen automatically. It takes practice. Building inner compassion is a lot like building muscle at the gym because it requires regular practice. Compassion Can Be Just Showing Up Not every kind of compassion involves fixing something. Meg spent time working in hospice care, simply sitting with patients who were unconscious or close to death. There was no problem to solve and nothing to say. She offered her calm presence and sometimes held a hand. This kind of compassion doesn’t look like much when viewed from the outside, but it is felt. People who’ve had near-death experiences describe being aware of who was in the room with them. Being there IS the act of compassion. Your Energy Enters the Room Before You Do Meg described what happens when she walks into a room full of strangers. She can immediately sense who’s happy and who’s miserable even if no words are exchanged or no physical contact is made because the energy is there. This is where the idea of self-compassion can often be underestimated. When you’re kind to yourself, that energy ripples out into how you treat everyone around you. And it continues rippling from there, like that proverbial pebble dropped in a pond. I talked about my friend MarBeth Dunn whose message is that world peace starts with inner peace. We also talked about how each of us is a single drop in the ocean and the entire ocean at the very same time. That always amazes me and now I see the connection to inner compassion from this perspective. Small Actions Create Big Ripples When our conversation turned to big global problems like climate change, it's easy to feel like nothing you do personally can make a difference. Meg brought up the phrase, “Think globally, act locally.” The truth is that skipping paper towels, driving electric or hybrid cars, and recycling are small choices that actually can add up and make an impact. I shared a story you may have heard before about working with two friends using an energy clearing practice to help heal the oceans. This seemed rather grandiose to me, but I went along with it and did my part for the 90 minutes we worked together. Partway through, I got an intuitive message from a male figure resembling Poseidon (maybe it was the trident he was holding LOL), thanking us for our efforts. He let me know that even three people can really make a difference. My takeaway was that consistent, intentional energy matters, even if you're a small group or just one person. Choose Your Words Wisely Your words and actions leave a bigger impact than you might think. Unkind comments tend to stick with you far longer and more vividly than kind words ever do. Meg says this is exactly why it’s worth slowing down with your language. Since you don't know how your words will land and be remembered, she recommends that you be more conscious about what you say. True for words about yourself as well, which is why more inner compassion is needed. Inside The Echoes Deck Then, I asked Meg about her new oracle cards called the Echoes Deck. Meg’s original 48-card oracle tool was created for personal inquiry, insight, and self-guidance. Most oracle decks feature a theme like angels, animal guides, or essential oils. Meg’s deck has four realms: the external, the internal, the eternal (which covers body, mind, and spirit). But there's a fourth realm called Echoes, that represents the energy you put out into the world and what comes back to you (just like an echo). Each realm holds twelve cards and features a hand-drawn mandala. You might notice patterns in the layout such as repeating numbers, recurring imagery, or a particular realm that shows up repetitively. This is the same way a tarot reader might look at the suits and major arcana. Why Compassionate Energy Spirals Upward compassionate energy When you recognize your own humanity, which means your mistakes, hard-won lessons, and moments of sorrow, that's what makes it possible to extend real compassion to someone else. Once you offer it outward, people start to experience you as a genuinely compassionate person. That perception reinforces the whole cycle and causes the energy to spiral upward. In contrast, you can walk into a room and feel whose energy is spiraling down just as easily as you can feel who’s happy. Choosing to meet that with compassion, rather than getting pulled down along with it, takes practice, but it is learnable. Set Your Radar to See Good in the World We discussed how so many spiritually minded people are saying how everything is “crumbling”. But language shapes energy too and those words can lower your vibration and the energy around you. On the other hand, if you reframe this as “things are shifting,” that keeps you oriented toward what’s possible rather than on what’s collapsing. I shared a mantra I borrowed from a friend at the start of 2025: “I am open to the possibility of positive outcomes.” This idea has helped me through so many downward news cycles! What I find helps is to set my internal radar to notice the positive. And that helped me see the good things in my life and the world. The Choice That’s Always Available Uncertainty and worry can’t be eliminated from being human. However, in any given moment, you can choose compassion. Offer a kinder response, toward yourself and others around you. These small, conscious shifts are what end up shaping how happy you actually are, and that positivity ripples out into the world around you. It really starts that simply with one compassionate choice at a time. Where Does the Compassion Begin? Inner compassion is a practice, not a personality trait. Treat yourself the way you’d treat your best friend on her worst day. Presence alone counts as compassion, even when there’s nothing to fix or say. Your energy is felt by others before you say a word, so how you treat yourself shapes who you appear to be to everyone else. Small, consistent actions, energetic or practical, genuinely add up, even when facing enormous problems. Words leave an impact whether you intend them to or not, so choose them with that in mind. Reframe words like “crumbling” to something more positive like “shifting.” This small change in language repositions what you notice and experience.

She’s also the creator of a new set of oracle cards called, The Echoes Deck. Meg writes a weekly post on compassion available on her social media and in her email newsletter. She served for 20 years as a wellness counselor to campers, counselors and admin staff at Camp AmeriKids, a week-long camp for kids with sickle cell anemia and other medical challenges. She has a Masters in Counseling and is a Certified Hypnotist.

Meg defines self-compassion as treating yourself the way you’d treat a close friend who made the same mistake. Offer grace and curiosity about what to do next, rather than criticism. She frames it as a daily practice, not a fixed trait, comparing it to strengthening a muscle at the gym. What is The Echoes Deck? Meg Reilly created The Echoes Deck, a 48-card oracle deck organized into four suits or realms including the external, internal, eternal, and Echoes. Every realm has 12 cards with hand-drawn mandalas cards, designed for personal insight and guidance. How does self-compassion affect the people around us? Meg describes energy as contagious. The kindness or harshness you direct at yourself shapes the energy you bring into a room. Other people sense and respond to this. Practicing self-compassion ripples outward into how you treat everyone else. Can small individual actions really make a difference against big problems like climate change? Yes, according to Meg. She points to the familiar phrase, “Think globally, act locally,” meaning that recycling, driving electric, buying in bulk are proof that consistent small actions add up, even when a problem feels too large for one person to affect. Why does Meg say compassion “spirals upward”? Once you extend compassion outward, others begin to perceive and treat you as a compassionate person, which reinforces the pattern and strengthens it over time. This creates an upward spiral of energy, lifting the vibration for yourself and everyone around you.

Ten years of wandering, condensed into a sprint. This time around, we are bringing you a very-special retelling of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. It's high on energy but also delightfully low on patience. Because let's be honest: ten years is a long time to spend lost at sea, and we have a podcast to run. Behind the Scenes of "A Condensed-Space Odyssey" Our actors are ready, the sound effects are mostly accurate, and everything is set to go. Well, except for some last-minute edits made strictly for time-management purposes. Clinton is sure the cast won't mind. After all, who wouldn't be thrilled about having their grand theatrical moments reduced to brief cameos? Our story centers on a hero of the Trojan War, Odysseus. Right now, he's just trying to get home to Ithaca. But a petty Poseidon and a very love-struck nymph have other plans. You'll feel the ocean spray during his turbulent raft ride through monstrous whirlpools, hear the beckoning call of rock-loving sirens, and almost taste the tragic consequences of munching on flowers and farm animals. And in a faction of the time Christopher Nolan took to tell the story! Can a hero survive when his script is cut? The sails are set, the wind is in the bag, and the clock is ticking. Grab your favorite goblet of wine and join us for the ride of a lifetime!

This synopsis of the review for Christopher Nolan's film, The Odyssey, explores the movie through the lens of “meta-script” analysis rather than traditional film criticism.Review Date: July 27, 2026IntroThe speaker provides a follow-up analysis of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, explicitly stating that the review ignores cinematography and acting to focus on predictive programming subtext. The goal is to identify how the film serves as a “companion piece” to Nolan's previous work, Oppenheimer, specifically regarding the symbolic framing of nuclear weapons and “prefabricated” history.Bullet Points: Key Topics* The Trojan Horse as an Atomic Metaphor: The film presents the Trojan Horse not just as a gift, but as an analogy for the atomic bomb, with imagery—such as the horse being elevated—paralleling the lifting of the nuclear sphere in Oppenheimer.* Odysseus and Oppenheimer Parallel: Both protagonists are portrayed as brilliant but tortured “meta-scriptors” whose ingenious inventions reshape civilization and leave them haunted by the guilt of their creation.* Consistent Trailer Messaging: The theater experience is described as a “data dump” where seven out of nine trailers (including Godzilla Minus Zero and Whale Fall) utilized nuke-related analogies, Leviathans, or direct references to nuclear engineering.* The Role of Poseidon: The speaker correctly predicted the nuke subtext based solely on the inclusion of Poseidon, whom they interpret as a symbol for a nuclear submarine.* Decompartmentalization of Reality: The review argues that mainstream entertainment is used to “habituate” and “prime” the public for incoming manufactured historical events, creating a secondary timeline of scripted reality.ThemeThe central theme is the transgression of moral and cosmic boundaries. The speaker argues that just as Oppenheimer's bomb dissolved the trust between nations, Odysseus's violation of Zeus's law at Troy—via the “trick” of the horse—represented a calculated annihilation that changed the moral rules of the world forever.7 Key Quotes* “I'm merely looking at it for any sort of predictive programming subtext consistent with that particular director...”* “There does seem to be this deliberate analogy, I was thinking, between Odysseus and Oppenheimer, the Trojan horse and the nuke.”* “It is as though the Trojan horse anticipates the atomic bomb.”* “Odysseus becomes a kind of Oppenheimer. Standing before the consequences of his creation, his guilt is twofold.”* “We're looking at authors or directors and writers whose work is being used to help frame our prefabricated manufactured history.”* “The trailers have all referenced the nuke directly or indirectly, or the associated symbol, which happens to be the Godzilla, Leviathan, or Kraken.”* “This future script, this meta script is what I call it, is a description of future events that will shape the course of our collective history.”SummaryThe review concludes that The Odyssey is a propaganda tool designed to provide emotional and mythological “color” to an incoming, engineered nuclear event. By linking ancient mythology to modern science, the film reinforces a singular objective: to maintain a worldview monopoly where the public is conditioned to accept a scripted future as an inevitable reality.

Did a volcano in Greece reveal the a Greek god —and only for our group?In Part 3 of our Greece travel recap, we leave Athens for Santorini, perform a releasing ritual on a black-rock beach, explore Oia and Fira, survive an absolutely unhinged lobster dinner, and board a literal pirate ship headed for a dormant volcano.While swimming in the volcanic thermal waters, we looked up and saw a massive horned goat standing above us on the cliff. It stayed there surveying our group until we left—and disappeared before the other boats arrived. Was it simply incredible timing, or did a Greek god make an appearance?We also share the deeper magic of the trip: strangers becoming community, dancing together beneath the full moon, protecting one another and creating memories that will last far beyond Greece.Plus: ferry bathroom chaos, the Temple of Poseidon, a spontaneous trip to Naxos, ancient temples to Dionysus and Apollo, Emily's newest tattoo and KristaLyn's newly announced Scotland trip for May 2027.Tell us what you think: coincidence, divine timing or a genuine encounter with a Greek god?CHAPTERS0:00 Did We Encounter a Greek God?0:20 Mercury Retrograde and Episode Setup3:43 Taking the Ferry to Santorini8:44 Oia, the Hotel and the Tourist Crowds13:09 Black Beach Ritual and the Changed Rocks14:24 Cliff Walk, Fira and Shopping19:11 Poseidon and the Lobster Disaster23:09 A Literal Pirate Ship to the Volcano25:54 Thermal Waters and the Appearance of Pan27:34 Mermaids, Community and Dancing33:40 Ferry Bathroom Chaos37:44 Farewell Dinner and Athens40:31 The Real Magic Was the Community42:06 Scotland 2027 Announcement44:01 Thermal Lake and the Temple of Poseidon46:17 Naxos, Dionysus and Apollo50:52 New Tattoo, Oracle Deck and Astrology Preview#Santorini #GreekMythology #SpiritualPodcast
The Odyssey (2026) Directed by: Christopher Nolan Written by: Christopher Nolan Starring: Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Elliot Page, John Leguizamo, Benny Safdie, Jon Bernthal, Himesh Patel, Mia Goth, Bill Irwin, Travis Scott IMDB: [IMDB LINK] Episode Summary In this episode of Mindframes, Michael and Dave discuss The Odyssey (2026), Christopher Nolan's three-hour adaptation of Homer — a $250 million epic and the first narrative feature shot entirely on IMAX 70mm. The discussion covers Nolan as an auteur and whether the "never made a bad movie" claim holds up, the practical-effects approach to the Cyclops and Circe, the deliberately cold Northern palette imposed on the Mediterranean, Ludwig Göransson's score, and an ensemble so large the hosts concede they can't get to everyone. After the ratings, the spoiler section turns to the film's central choice: the Olympian gods have been removed while the monsters remain, and what that does to Odysseus' moral agency. Comparisons range across Nolan's own filmography, Troy, The Northman, and the sword-and-sandal epics of the 1950s and '60s. Reviews Michael: 4.5 / 5 — came out thinking four, and it has only grown in his esteem since. Praises the baseline of visual and musical quality, Damon working better as a lead than expected, and a supporting cast that carries every stop on the journey. Docks it for a cast so crowded it distracts, and for an ending too in love with its own moralism. Dave: 4.5 / 5 — would watch it again in a heartbeat. Calls it a film that grabs hold of empire, heroism, reverence, and humility all at once, and rates the separation of gods from monsters as pitch perfect. His one dent in the fender: the film plays a little episodic, a series of very large encounters rather than a single build. Thematic Discussion The Odyssey removes the Olympians but keeps the monsters. Circe, the Sirens, and the Cyclops are all simply part of the natural world here; it's Athena and Zeus who stay shadowy and inferred. Michael's reading is that this absence exists to hand moral agency back to Odysseus — if the gods were visibly steering, his guilt over the Trojan Horse wouldn't be his to carry. That guilt is framed through xenia, the Greek code of hospitality. Odysseus offered a gift that turned out to be murder, and comes to believe that breaking that norm is what set his civilization's collapse in motion. The hosts draw the parallel to the erosion of political and social norms in contemporary America, and to the film's closing turn — the Bronze Age is ending because of the Sea Peoples, and the Greeks realize they are the Sea Peoples. The episode's central disagreement is over Athena. Dave reads her as constructed: she wears the face of a priestess Odysseus watched his own men murder in her temple, and the film is showing how humans build gods out of guilt and the sense that something is sacred. Michael pushes back that the film sustains a genuine ambiguity — the idea that gods appear in human form is planted repeatedly, and the priestess is decapitated at the exact moment Athena's statue is, which leaves open that Odysseus may believe they killed a god. He points to the same ambiguity in the Cyclops' cry to Poseidon, which some of the crew claim to hear and neither Odysseus nor the audience does. Neither host resolves it, and both prefer it that way. Michael's position is that the ambiguity is the answer rather than the absence of one — something underpins their world that they don't fully see and are damaging anyway, whether that's Zeus and Poseidon or simply decency and the value of human life. Dave, arriving from a position of religious faith, says he likes that Odysseus has to live in the same uncertain world the rest of us do. The structural evidence they land on: Homer ends with a deus ex machina, Athena descending to stop the cycle of revenge. Nolan cuts it. Nobody intervenes, so Odysseus abdicates, gives the throne to Telemachus, and sails west with Penelope — a change that hands the ending's moral weight entirely to the man.

A história do Ocidente tem suas raízes fincadas na jornada de um homem tentando retornar ao seu lar. Escrita por Homero no século VIII a.C., a Odisseia é a pedra angular da literatura ocidental e o alicerce de conceitos vitais para a nossa civilização. Neste vídeo, exploramos a tumultuada travessia de Odisseu (Ulisses) após o fim da Guerra de Troia, enfrentando a ira do deus Poseidon, os perigos do Ciclope Polifemo, a magia de Circe e o canto das sereias. Analisamos como a astúcia de Penélope, o amadurecimento de Telêmaco e a sabedoria estratégica de Odisseu moldaram o arquétipo do herói ocidental, onde a inteligência e a resiliência prevalecem sobre a força bruta. Descubra como essa epopeia mitológica influenciou obras ao longo dos séculos e serve como um manual atemporal sobre os desafios da existência humana.

Welcome to Forgotten Odysseys, the game where surviving the Trojan War is apparently the easy part. Adam Bradford, also known as BadEye Adam, has created a MÖRK BORG-compatible Greek fantasy nightmare where the gods hate you, the sea hates you, the dice hate you, and sometimes your own party decides that prophecy is just a polite suggestion to commit murder. In this episode, the crew sets sail for home, immediately gets distracted by pork, insults a goddess, and proves that if Odysseus had access to a live Twitch chat, he probably would have died even faster. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badeye/forgotten-odysseys Show Notes This week on the RPGBOT.Podcast, we dive into Forgotten Odysseys, the creation of Adam Bradford, also known as BadEye Adam, and currently funding on Kickstarter. Adam joins the show to talk about building a brutal, mythic Greek journey home from the Trojan War using the bones of MÖRK BORG, then Josh Simons of Broken Door Entertainment takes the helm for a live play demo that immediately proves why sailors should fear gods, storms, wild animals, and shirtless leadership. Adam walks through the inspirations behind the game, from The Odyssey and Bronze Age Greek culture to Blood of Zeus, 300, Xena, and the gloriously doomed charm of MÖRK BORG hacks. The result is a sword-and-sandals survival game where the goal is simple: get home. The problem is Eris, goddess of strife and chaos, who believes you cheated death at Troy and would very much like to correct that oversight. The episode also explores the game's seafaring tests, deadly mishaps, journey map, mythic art direction, character classes, boons, curses, legendary items, and armor system. Then the actual play begins, and the party creates Dome, Demos, and Dephobos, three heroes whose collective survival strategy includes playing "Yankee Doodle Dandy" on a lyre, hunting boars in a storm, yelling at divine fog, and ultimately fulfilling a betrayal prophecy with alarming efficiency. If you like Greek mythology, doomed sailors, lethal rules-light games, gorgeous art-heavy books, and tabletop sessions where a boar fight becomes the emotional centerpiece of the evening, this one is for you. Key Takeaways Forgotten Odysseys is Adam Bradford's mythic Greek, MÖRK BORG-compatible game about soldiers trying to survive the journey home after the Trojan War. The game is currently on Kickstarter and is published in partnership with Broken Door Entertainment. Adam wrote, illustrated, laid out, and designed the game, giving it a strong personal visual identity inspired by Greek myth, comics, public domain art, and brutal sword-and-sandals drama. The central premise is not "become a hero." It is "get home before the gods, monsters, sea, dice, or your friends kill you." Eris replaces Poseidon as the primary divine antagonist, hunting the characters because they survived when fate said they should have died. The game keeps the deadly, strange, art-heavy spirit of MÖRK BORG while adding Greek myth flavor, seafaring rules, Bronze Age gear, legendary items, boons, curses, and a journey map. Seafaring tests let everyone contribute to survival, whether they are rowing, navigating, inspiring the crew, helming the ship, or playing music to keep the oars in rhythm. Character creation leans into randomness, misery, and personality, which is how the table ends up with Dome, Demos, and Dephobos, three names that sound like they were cursed before the dice even hit the table. The live play shows off the system's fast combat, player-facing rolls, armor tiers, and high stakes, mostly through the sacred Greek tradition of nearly dying to pigs. Demos learns that boars are dangerous, Dephobos learns that prophecy is inconvenient, and Dome learns that leadership is easier when nobody questions why someone was stabbed and thrown into shallow water. The episode is a strong showcase for the game's tone: mythic, deadly, beautiful, ridiculous, and always one bad roll away from becoming a cautionary tale. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

In this episode, Ashley and Les sit down with PhD candidate Anika Elema to explore her fascinating new article, “Poseidon, Athena, and Demeter: Epithets and Associations in the Divine.” We dive into ancient Greek religion, mythological symbolism, and how divine epithets reveal deeper cultural meaning. Anika breaks down the relationships between major Greek deities, the power of names and titles, and what these associations tell us about worship, identity, and myth-making in the ancient world. If you're interested in classical studies, mythology, archaeology, ancient religion, or the history of ideas, this conversation offers rich insights and fresh perspectives. #GreekMythology #AncientReligion #ClassicalStudies #Archaeology #Poseidon #Athena #Demeter #MythologyPodcast #AcademicTalk #AncientGreece #Anthropology
AI portfolio construction in global equity markets (memory semiconductors, mega IPOs, and how to manage concentration risk) is the focus of this conversation with Mawer's global equity portfolio manager Paul Moroz. Drawing on Homer's Odyssey, he explains the discipline the team applies when navigating themes that are moving quickly: from trimming SK Hynix systematically as the position grew, to sizing up what a wave of large IPOs means for cost of capital, to the central trade-off between underexposure and overconcentration in the AI complex. He also puts numbers around the portfolio's AI positioning and explains how hyperscaler holdings act as a natural offset. The episode closes on humility as a process requirement, reflected in the portfolio's expansion to nearly 90 names with smaller, more incremental position sizing. Key Takeaways Memory semiconductors, including SK Hynix, illustrate the discipline required around fast-moving themes. The team has sold back nearly as much as it invested in SK Hynix while the position has grown to over 5% of the portfolio — a deliberate trimming driven by ongoing valuation modeling, not a change in the thesis. The risk is not the price-to-earnings multiple; it is the cyclicality of earnings, and the question of how long the current upcycle runs. Odysseus' response to the Sirens when he ties himself to the mast and has his crew row with beeswax in their ears is a useful analogy for process. Decisions made in advance of the moment of seduction, grounded in a systematic valuation framework, are more reliable than decisions made in the heat of a rapid move. Large IPOs entering markets signal a more capital-intensive economic period and raise real questions about where the capital comes from. Companies already in the S&P 500 benefit from a structural cost-of-capital advantage over those outside it, and the team watches for what needs to be sold as large new issuers absorb liquidity. A period of multiple compression, while uncomfortable for near-term statements, improves long-term reinvestment returns. The Scylla-versus-Charybdis choice (the monster on one side, the whirlpool on the other) maps directly onto the AI portfolio construction problem. The team's AI hardware exposure sits at approximately 22.7% of the portfolio; a 50% drawdown in that sleeve would represent roughly an 11-12% hit to the overall portfolio. An offsetting 15.5% is held in hyperscalers (Meta, Microsoft, Amazon) whose capital expenditure is the revenue of the hardware side, producing a natural hedge that brings net directional AI exposure to around 7-8%. The team's response to the Cyclops story (Odysseus boasting after his victory, which brought years of suffering from Poseidon) is portfolio humility expressed through construction. The global equity portfolio now holds just under 90 names, with positions sized smaller and traded in smaller increments to reduce the cost of being wrong and to manage in a high-volatility environment. Some holdings that look nothing like AI businesses have begun moving with AI sentiment. The team treats these correlation shifts as arbitrage opportunities: when something is priced as an AI stock but carries different underlying risk, there may be a better entry or exit available elsewhere in the complex. 0:00 - Introduction: Homer's Odyssey and the AI Trade 1:39 - The Sirens: Memory Stocks, SK Hynix, and Valuation Discipline 7:54 - Managing a Position That Has Grown Beyond Its Cost Base 10:30 - Mega IPOs, Cost of Capital, and Index Inclusion Advantage 15:49 - Scylla vs. Charybdis: Choosing Your Risk in AI 17:58 - AI Portfolio Construction: Numbers, Offsets, and Net Exposure 23:11 - Correlation Creep: When Non-AI Stocks Start Acting Like AI 24:42 - The Cyclops Story: Humility, Diversification, and Process 26:53 - Closing: Managing Money Across Generations 27:15 - Outro and Subscribe Host: Rob Campbell, CFA, Institutional Portfolio Manager Guest: Paul Moroz, CFA, Global Equity Portfolio Manager This episode is available for download anywhere you get your podcasts.

The Gore of Battle and the Sanctity of the Dead. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The Iliad features vivid and gory battle scenes that Wilson rendered by consulting with combat veterans to understand the visceral nature of death. Homeremphasizes the specific details of how each man dies, often juxtaposing the brutality of a spear through an eyeball with beautiful similes from the natural world. A major theme is the treatment of the dead; the poem views the corpse as the person, requiring those who loved the warrior to wash, wrap, and lament him. Entire books are dedicated to the struggle of reclaiming a fallen comrade's body, as desecrating a corpse is seen as the ultimate victory over an enemy. Stripping the armor from a victim serves as both an economic prize and a symbol of total dominance. While the gods like Poseidon and Hera intervene to support the Greeks, they also remain distinct from mortals by "bleeding" a substance called ichor. These divine and human elements culminate in the pivotal death of Patroclus, which shifts the direction of the entire war. 6
"Poseidon's massive trident was broken; it protruded at an obtuse angle from the rubble of the temple. Icicles hung from its three prongs that no longer avariciously pointed heavenward. Xavier shuddered and pulled the fur layers tighter around him against the cutting cold of the gale as he raised his eyes from the trident to behold the desolation of Atlantis." - The opening line of the sequel to my magnum opus work of fiction, Hourglass #2: The Trident, The Tachyon & The TemptressThis chapter teases a provocative premise: Might the individual man's mastery of his lust mirror cosmic cycles of civilizational destruction? And that premise will stalk you throughout the novel; from a VR simulation of the Atlantean empire, to courtroom drama and shocking revelations in the Swiss Alps, to the epic conclusion of the Hourglass saga aboard a luxurious zeppelin where a decadent “Eyes Wide Shut” party ascends above CERN.Order Novel [Audiobook Included]

My guest today, the actor David Reivers has had a career spanning 40 years in theatre, film, and TV. He's best known for various TV roles in shows like Charmed, Felicity, Drake and Josh, The Disney Channel's Jump In, and recently in season one of The Pitt. Film roles include Malcolm X, After the Sunset, Circle, Poseidon, and most recently, The Accountant 2.You may have also seen David from his appearances in over 200 commercials.For the record, David played the voice of Lucky, in the movie called Lucky that I directed and co-produced. He suavely and coolly played an evil little dog that haunts the twisted mind of animation writer Millard Mudd, who was played by a favorite StoryBeat guest, and the movie's co-producer, Michael Emanuel. Without David's unique and spot-on voicing of Lucky, the movie wouldn't have turned out as amazingly well.David is the father of four children, three incredibly wonderful daughters, and stage and screen star, Corbin Bleu.

The poems that nourish us, and the myths that nourish poems. What can a connection with a mythical figure give us, or a legendary flower? Ian McMillan is joined by Zeus, Poseidon, the Green Man, the trees of Under Milk Wood, and Wordsworth's favourite flower - courtesy of The Verb's guests - the philosopher Angie Hobbs, and poets Rishi Dastidar, Bradley Taylor, and Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch.Bradley Taylor brings Brummie legends like 'Pete the Feet' into a poem with the likes of Zeus and Icarus, in his slam-winning poem 'I don't care about the gods'. Bradley's book is called 'You Missed the Best Parts', and he writes a brand new poem during the programme.Angie Hobbs is Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy Emerita at the University of Sheffield. and her most recent book is called 'Why Plato Matters Now'. Angie shares 'a neon line', a stellar line of poetry that can help us get through uncertain times. Rishi Dastidar shares a new commission on the theme of 'how to get through' - and celebrates William Wordsworth's favourite flower, the lesser celandine. Rishi also reads from his new collection 'Cherry Blossom at Nightbreak' - and we discover the mythic name of the legendary entertainer Bruce Forsyth.Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch's new book is 'Milk Wood Memoir'. It includes a legendary tree, and family recollections of that mythic Welsh poet Dylan Thomas.
