Recorded: February 8, 2024 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, The Boys were joined by UFC legend Michael Bisping. Michael opened up about his journey to the UFC and how a trip to jail completely changed the trajectory of his life. The guys then dove into some of Bisping’s most memorable fights, discussing which moments stuck with him the most and whether any of those wars left lasting effects. They also talked about his transition into the media side of the UFC and how he found his voice as an analyst. To wrap things up, Bisping gave his thoughts on the upcoming Chandler vs. McGregor fight and what fans should expect. Michael was hilarious throughout and told some unbelievable stories, making this an all-time episode. Big hugs, tiny kisses.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, once the self-crowned king of luxury, has apparently been reduced to the lowest form of intoxication known to man: prison hooch. Reports claim the former mogul was caught with homemade alcohol inside Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution — the kind of foul, bubbling concoction inmates brew in trash bags using fruit, sugar, and desperation. Forget Cîroc. Forget top-shelf anything. What Diddy's allegedly drinking behind bars is called pruno, better known as toilet wine. It's made by mashing fruit and ketchup packets, adding water, and letting it rot until the smell alone could peel paint. It's dangerous, disgusting, and — incredibly — one of the most common contraband “delicacies” in prisons across America. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down exactly how inmates make their booze, what they risk to do it, and how it all fits into the bizarre underground economy of prison life. From hand-sanitizer cocktails to coffee-ground highs, this is the unfiltered, unsanitized look at what really happens when the party never stops — even in federal custody. And as for Diddy? The man who once bragged about power and control now looks like every other addict who can't face silence without a fix. No entourages. No private jets. Just a bag of fermenting fruit under a bunk and the illusion that he's still the one running the show. Welcome to the new “Bad Boy” era — one that reeks of citrus rot and ego decay.

Britain's prisons are a legislative problem that has beset successive governments. New revelations show 91 accidental early releases in just six months, the latest in a growing pattern of administrative chaos across the criminal justice system. Between drones delivering drugs, crumbling Victorian buildings, exhausted staff and an ever more convoluted sentencing regime, what is the cause of so many blunders? And what will Labour's promised reforms actually fix – and are more crises inevitable?James Heale speaks to Charlie Taylor, H.M.

While serving her sentence at FCI Tallahassee, Ghislaine Maxwell was quietly transferred from a higher-security setting to the prison's general population — a move that raised eyebrows among both observers and victims. Initially, she had been placed under heightened supervision following her transfer from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where she had complained of harsh conditions and constant monitoring. Once in Tallahassee, however, Maxwell's status changed, granting her access to privileges afforded to the general inmate population, including recreation areas, social interaction, and communal dining. The Bureau of Prisons justified the move as routine, citing her good behavior and the lack of disciplinary issues, but many found the decision unusually generous for a convicted sex trafficker linked to one of the most notorious criminal networks of the century.The transfer to general population was widely interpreted as a sign of the soft treatment Maxwell appeared to be receiving compared to other inmates convicted of similar crimes. Reports surfaced of her adapting comfortably, socializing with other prisoners, and even earning the nickname “G-Max” inside the facility. Victim advocates criticized the move as another example of how power and privilege can distort accountability, even behind bars. For them, it was less about Maxwell's comfort and more about the optics — that a woman convicted of facilitating abuse against minors was now living among regular inmates, no longer under the scrutiny that defined her early incarceration. To many, her move to GP symbolized the quiet easing of consequences that so often follows when the powerful finally face justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Prison officials found 46-year-old Tremane Wood unresponsive on his cell floor and rushed him to the hospital shortly after he got the news he and his family had been hoping for, from the Governor. Woods was granted clemency exactly 1 minute before he was scheduled to die by lethal injection, so how did he end up hospitalized with a busted head and lip? Later in the day, a much different scene in Florida, where that state executed its 16th inmate of the year, more than 4 decades after Bryan Jennings brutally murdered 6-year-old Becky Kunash.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Philemon, a prominent member of the Christian congregation in Colossae, needs pastoral care, St. Paul writes to him in humility. The Apostle gives thanks for the fruit of faith that Philemon has brought forth and appeals to Philemon to bring forth that same fruit now toward his runaway slave, Onesimus. St. Paul reminds Philemon that Onesimus is now a fellow brother in Christ who has been useful to St. Paul while in prison and now will be the same to Philemon when Onesimus returns. St. Paul imitates the example of Christ in promising to pay any debt on behalf of Onesimus, even as the Apostle expresses confidence that Philemon will receive Onesimus in Christian love.  Rev. Jacob Dandy, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church and School in Atchison, KS, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Philemon 1-25.  To learn more about Trinity Lutheran, visit trinityatchison.org. “Letters from Prison” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. Even when Paul was imprisoned for the sake of Christ, the Word of God remained unbound. The apostle's letters from prison still fill us with the same joy that his chains could never silence. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

You can live in a beautiful world and still feel trapped in a nightmare—because what's inside you shapes everything you see. In this video, I share my most personal philosophy on depression: why your relationship with yourself is the road that connects you to everything good, and what happens when you stop maintaining it.This isn't about quick fixes—it's about understanding why neglect, shame, and self-hatred cut you off from joy, love, and even God, and how caring for your mind, body, and spirit repairs that connection.

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) The State of Connecticut charged Teresa Beatty $249 per day, every day, while she was in prison for a minor drug offense from 2000 to 2002—But she wouldn't discover this until 20 years later. When her mother died in 2020, the State of Connecticut filed a notice in probate court demanding approximately 35%—over $83,000—of Beatty's inheritance. And it was perfectly legal. In fact, at least 45 states in America force you to pay (literally) for the privilege of being imprisoned in a country with one of the highest incarceration rates in the world... This is Beatty v.

Travis grew up in a turbulent home—his father led the Hell's Angels and was immersed in organized crime. Despite being surrounded by addiction, violence, and instability, Travis chose a different path. His story winds through homelessness, resilience, missionary service, business success, and ultimately, time in prison for a white-collar crime.But prison became a turning point. Given the rare chance to teach business classes while incarcerated, Travis found purpose in mentoring others. Today, he produces a podcast amplifying the voices of inmates, advocates for prison ministry, and works to help the incarcerated find hope and healing.Together, we talk about breaking cycles of pain, the courage of his mother, the surreal moment when a hundred Hell's Angels showed up to his missionary farewell, and why faith and one-on-one ministry mirror the way Christ reached people in their struggles.Travis's story is raw, redemptive, and deeply inspiring—a powerful reminder that our past does not define our future.✨ New episodes every two weeks!

In this explosive conclusion to Blue's story, the chaos of addiction reaches terrifying new heights. What starts as a wild meth-fueled adventure spirals into a blur of residential burglaries, near-death experiences, and cross-count geographicals between California and New Mexico. Blue narrowly survives a car explosion, brushes with death, and finds herself trapped in the same criminal underworld she once swore she'd escape.After a string of arrests, she lands in a New Mexico prison—this time with a baby in California that she's trying to get back to. Headed back to California, she was determined to find sobriety. Ending up in a federal indictment and facing years in federal prison, Blue is finally forced to confront the wreckage of her past and the possibility of a different future.Check out our sponsor Worthy Wellness CenterConnect with Blue's treatment center OC SafehouseDM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

Please note that the live was done on a cell phone, due to Randy being unable to access a laptop/tablet.Ronnie Lee Gardner was a convicted murderer from Utah whose violent criminal history and dramatic courtroom escape attempt made him one of the state's most infamous prisoners. Born in 1961, Gardner endured a troubled childhood marked by abuse, neglect, and frequent run-ins with the law. By his early twenties, he was already incarcerated for violent crimes. In 1985, while being transported to court for a hearing on a murder charge, Gardner attempted to escape and fatally shot attorney Michael Burdell inside the courthouse. The incident led to his conviction for capital murder and a death sentence.Gardner spent 25 years on Utah's death row, during which he became a controversial figure in debates over the death penalty. Known for his defiant attitude early in his incarceration, he later expressed remorse for his actions and pursued education and spiritual growth while imprisoned. His 2010 execution by firing squad — the first in Utah in 14 years — drew widespread attention and reignited discussions about humane methods of execution and the purpose of capital punishment in modern America.Randy Gardner, Ronnie's brother, became an outspoken opponent of the death penalty after witnessing his brother's execution. Deeply affected by the loss and the trauma of the event, Randy turned his grief into advocacy, speaking publicly about the emotional toll capital punishment inflicts on families of both victims and offenders. He has since worked with human rights and anti-death-penalty organizations, sharing his story to highlight the human cost of executions and the cycle of violence they perpetuate. His activism has made him a well-known voice in the movement to abolish the death penalty in the United States.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

As the Apostle Paul began his letter to the Colossians by speaking of his prayers for them, so he concludes his letter by asking the Colossians to pray for him. Their prayers should be steadfast in thanksgiving and ask God to open the door for Paul to preach the Word, even though he is currently in prison. The Word of God that Christians speak is true and gracious, and Christians look for opportunities to speak in the wisdom God provides. Before St. Paul finishes his letter, he extends greetings from a variety of his fellow workers, revealing the glorious connections that believers have to each other in Christ.  Rev. John Bussman, pastor at St. Paul's Lutheran Church and School in Cullman, AL, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Colossians 4:2-18.  To learn more about St. Paul's, visit stpaulscullman.com. “Letters from Prison” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon.

Ep 236 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into the headlines shaping how we think about food's worth, transparency, and trends — from America's broken sense of food value to Japan's farmer-forward labels and even Nara Smith's $38 garlic oil collab. America's "food value problem" takes center stage as the hosts unpack why Americans spend less than 10% of their income on food — among the lowest worldwide — and what that says about how we price nutrition versus convenience. Then they explore Japan's photo-on-pack movement that connects consumers directly to farmers, redefining transparency and trust in the grocery aisle. Next, influencer Nara Smith launches a $38 garlic oil with a luxury twist, sparking questions about marketing buzzwords and the psychology of "premium" food. Finally, they tackle the McBee Dynasty crop-fraud sentencing, and end on an unexpected high note — Italian water buffalo enjoying massages and Mozart while producing world-famous mozzarella. What We Discovered This Week

There are some places in the world that seem to be built for ghosts. Heavy walls, dark corridors, shadows that linger even when the lights are switched on. They seem to soak up misery and dread, and long after the people are gone, the walls still whisper. Melbourne has one of those places, right in the centre of the city. The Old Melbourne Gaol. Today, it's a museum. Tourists wander through its three-storey cell block, peer into the tiny cells, and read about bushrangers, poisoners, and men wrongly hanged. But back in the 1800s and early 1900s, this place was a factory of punishment and death. And if ghosts really do linger where life was most cruel and unjust, then the Old Melbourne Gaol has more reason than most to be haunted. In this episode of the True Hauntings Podcast we will take a walk through one of the most haunted places in Australia. We delve into the dark heart of Old Melbourne Gaol, where cold bluestone walls once echoed with the final footsteps of the condemned, where skulls were stolen, death masks were cast, and where whispers still drift through the cells long after the last prisoner was led to the gallows. Was it cruelty, injustice, or sheer tragedy that left its mark on this place?Let's find out.Send us a Christmas card or postcard to: Anne and RenataP.O.Box 2289Dangar 2309NSW Australia

In this interview, Matt sits down with David Wood, an evangelical apologist who focuses his efforts on exposing the truth about Islam. The conversation touches on David's start as an apologist, his friendship with Nabeel Qureshi (who authored the book "Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus), what it was like in the early days on YouTube, receiving death threats from Muslims, why Muslims are leaving Islam and becoming Christian, David's journey from atheism to Christianity, and much more.

Welcome to this episode of the “Prison Pulpit” on the China Compass podcast on the Fight Laugh Feast network! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben, recording today from the foot of Mt. Ida in Turkey! Since I’m still in Turkey today, and just down the road from the ancient port of Troas, which we visited yesterday, I want to meditate once more on some of Paul's words from prison, especially his words to Timothy in 2nd Timothy, his final letter in the New Testament: 2 Timothy 1:2-12, 15-18: To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. [3] I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. [4] As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. [5] I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. [6] For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, [7] for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. [8] Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, [9] who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, [10] and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, [11] for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, [12] which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me. . . [15] You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. [16] May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains, [17] but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me earnestly and found me— [18] may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day!—and you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus. 2 Timothy 2:3-10: [3] Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. [4] No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. [5] An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. [6] It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. [7] Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. [8] Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, [9] for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound! [10] Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 2 Timothy 3:10-13: [10] You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, [11] my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. [12] Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, [13] while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 4:6-18: [6] For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. [7] I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. [8] Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. [9] Do your best to come to me soon. [10] For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. [11] Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry. [12] Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. [13] When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments. [14] Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. [15] Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message. [16] At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! [17] But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. [18] The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

The goal of political art is to ask uncomfortable questions. The price was prison.Vitaly Shevchenko speaks to Maria Alyokhina, founding member of the Russian punk activist group Pussy Riot, about the power and the price of protest.Pussy Riot came to the world's attention with its Punk Prayer, an angry anti-Putin anthem performed in a Moscow church. Maria Alyokhina spent two years incarcerated in a penal colony as a result. It was worth it, she says, to show the world what life under President Putin was like. She was freed under an amnesty ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, but her ongoing activism saw her living under surveillance and then house arrest, eventually fleeing Russia in a dramatic escape. Today, she continues to challenge Putin's regime from outside her home country. Thank you to the Ukrainecast team for its help in making this programme.
