Richard Griffin was Queen Elizabeth II’s personal police officer for fourteen years. Accompanying her on a picnic in the hills near Balmoral Castle one day, they met two American hikers. “Have you ever met the Queen?” they asked, not recognizing the monarch in plain dress. “I haven’t,” the Queen quipped, “but Richard here meets her regularly!” Thrilled to meet someone close to royalty, the hikers then handed the Queen their camera, posed with Richard, and asked her to take a photo! It isn’t the first time someone has been in the presence of an important person unawares. “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it,” Jacob said after encountering God in a dream at Bethel (Genesis 28:16). And when Philip asked Jesus to show the disciples the Father, Jesus replied, “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). Like the hikers, the disciples had been ready to hand Jesus the camera, not recognizing He was the One to zoom in on (vv. 10-11). Like the Queen that day, Jesus hasn’t always been recognized for who He really is. Beyond a “wise teacher” or “great moral leader,” He’s God in the flesh and King of the world (1:14; 18:36). What a revelation it is when we discover it!

During the interview, Kim Iversen pressed Dershowitz about his associations with Jeffrey Epstein and asked probing questions that he appeared taken off-guard by. One key moment came when Iversen asked whether Epstein “killed himself,” to which Dershowitz responded that Epstein did not die entirely of his own doing—suggesting involvement of others, particularly guards. Dershowitz seemed visibly frustrated with the line of inquiry, complaining about what he felt was being “sandbagged”—i.e. caught unawares on shifting topics. When Iversen tried to connect the conversation back to Donald Trump and broader current events, Dershowitz challenged the framing, appearing to assert that certain issues were being conflated unfairly.Dershowitz ultimately ended the exchange by telling Iversen it would be “the last time” he appeared on her show, indicating that he felt the interview had crossed implicit boundaries. The interaction made headlines largely because of that tension, the unexpected speculation about Epstein's death, and Dershowitz's claim that questions about unrelated topics had been sprung without warning.Also...Alan Dershowitz has publicly said that Prince Andrew made “a terrible mistake” by settling the lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre in 2022 rather than taking the case to trial. Dershowitz believes Andrew could have won in court, arguing there were legal grounds to challenge jurisdiction, statute of limitations, and credibility of Giuffre's claims. He suggests Andrew's legal team—and possibly Queen Elizabeth II—pressured him into settling to avoid the embarrassment of a public deposition and the full airing of allegations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Police officers carry out security searches outside the Windsor Castle in Windsor, England, on Monday, ahead of the state visit of US President Donald Trump.周一，在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普国事访问前夕，英国英格兰温莎镇的温莎城堡外，警方正在开展安全搜查工作。United States President Donald Trump was due to arrive in the United Kingdom on Tuesday for an unprecedented second state visit, with police saying they have prepared for "every eventuality" in their security operation.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普定于周二抵达英国，开启其史无前例的第二次国事访问。英国警方表示，已为安保行动做好“应对各种可能情况”的准备。The president and first lady Melania Trump are being hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle, the historic royal residence, about 40 kilometers west of London.特朗普总统与第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普将由英国国王查尔斯三世和王后卡米拉在温莎城堡接待。温莎城堡是具有历史意义的王室居所，位于伦敦以西约40公里处。On Wednesday, the president will be treated to the customary display of full royal pageantry, including a carriage procession and state banquet. On Thursday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will host Trump at Chequers, his countryside retreat in Buckinghamshire, northwest of London.周三，特朗普将出席传统的全套王室礼仪活动，包括马车巡游和国宴。周四，英国首相基尔·斯塔默将在其位于伦敦西北部白金汉郡的乡间别墅契克斯接待特朗普。Police in the UK say they are "content" with their security plans and are prepared to respond to a potential "very high threat level".英国警方表示，对当前安保计划“满意”，并已做好应对潜在“极高威胁级别”的准备。"This is a significant policing and security operation, as would be expected for a state visit of the president of the United States," Assistant Chief Constable Christian Bunt of the Thames Valley Police told reporters on Monday.泰晤士河谷警察局助理局长克里斯蒂安·邦特周一告诉记者：“正如人们对美国总统国事访问的预期，这是一项重大的警务与安保行动。”"We have planned a very comprehensive policing and security operation that has taken into consideration just about every eventuality," he added.他补充道：“我们制定了一套非常全面的警务与安保方案，几乎考虑到了所有可能发生的情况。”Having originally planned to stay in the UK until Friday, Trump's trip has since been shortened, due to the president's schedule, and his visit will now end on Thursday.特朗普原本计划在英国停留至周五，但由于总统日程安排原因，此次行程已缩短，访问将于周四结束。It is the first time Trump has met with Charles since he became king, but a second state visit is unusual as second-term US presidents are typically offered only tea or lunch with the monarch. Trump made his first full state visit to the UK in 2019, when he met Queen Elizabeth II.这是查尔斯三世登基后，特朗普首次与其会面。不过，美国总统一任期内进行两次国事访问并不常见——通常情况下，美国连任总统与英国君主的会面仅为茶叙或午餐。特朗普首次对英国进行完整国事访问是在2019年，当时他会见了英国女王伊丽莎白二世。This UK visit comes two months after Trump made a private trip to Scotland, where he met Starmer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and Scotland's First Minister John Swinney, and opened a new luxury golf course. Locals had complained about heavy policing that cost taxpayers' money during his trip to Scotland.此次访问英国的两个月前，特朗普曾对苏格兰进行私人访问。期间，他会见了斯塔默、欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩以及苏格兰首席大臣约翰·斯温尼，并为一座新的豪华高尔夫球场揭幕。当时，当地民众曾抱怨其访问期间的大规模安保行动耗费了纳税人资金。Key issues核心议题Trade, Ukraine and Gaza are likely to top Thursday's agenda for talks when Trump meets Starmer. They may also discuss the recent dismissal of Peter Mandelson, the former British ambassador to Washington, over his past ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.周四特朗普与斯塔默会谈时，贸易、乌克兰和加沙问题可能会成为首要议题。双方还可能讨论英国前驻美大使彼得·曼德尔森近期被解职一事——曼德尔森因过去与已定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦存在关联而被免职。A spokesperson for Starmer told reporters on Monday that the prime minister "sees this state visit squarely through the lens of delivering for working people", citing US investment pledged over the weekend to create 1,800 jobs in Britain and a civil nuclear partnership that could lower energy prices.斯塔默的发言人周一告诉记者，首相“完全从为劳动人民谋福祉的角度看待此次国事访问”。该发言人还提及，上周末美国已承诺在英国投资以创造1800个就业岗位，且双方将建立民用核能合作伙伴关系，这一合作有望降低能源价格。Senior US officials said on Monday that US and UK plan to unveil more than $10 billion in economic deals during the visit.美国高级官员周一表示，美英计划在此次访问期间公布总额超100亿美元的经济合作协议。The package is expected to include a three-pillar trade arrangement: a new partnership to bolster both countries' tech sectors, expanded cooperation on civil nuclear power, and deeper collaboration on defense technologies, according to a briefing with reporters.据一场记者吹风会透露，该协议套餐预计包含一项“三大支柱”贸易安排：一是建立新合作伙伴关系以加强两国科技产业；二是扩大民用核能领域合作；三是深化国防技术领域协作。On Tuesday, Google announced plans to invest $6.8 billion in the UK over the next two years for infrastructure and scientific research, including a new data center near London.周二，谷歌宣布计划未来两年在英国投资68亿美元，用于基础设施建设与科学研究，其中包括在伦敦附近新建一座数据中心。Also waiting for Trump in London is opposition.在伦敦，特朗普还将面临民众抗议。A network of more than 50 trade unions, charities, and advocacy groups plans to assemble on Wednesday in central London, before marching to Parliament Square.由50多个工会、慈善机构和倡议组织组成的联盟计划于周三在伦敦市中心集结，随后向议会广场行进。UK and US senior officialsn.英美高级官员/ˌjuː ˈkeɪ ənd ˌjuː ˈes ˈsiːniə ˈɒfɪʃlz/protest groups (trade unions, charities, advocacy groups)n.抗议团体（工会、慈善机构、倡议组织）/ˈprəʊtest ɡruːps (treɪd ˈjuːniənz, ˈtʃærətiz, ˈædvəkəsi ɡruːps)/

Elizabeth I may have been one of the most powerful rulers in history, but behind her glittering portraits was a deadly secret. To maintain her iconic "Mask of Youth," she relied on toxic cosmetics that slowly poisoned her body. In this episode, I peel back the layers of her beauty routine, explore how her image became a weapon of power, and reveal the impossible double standards women have always faced. From court gossip to ambassadorial shade, discover how beauty, politics, and poison shaped the Virgin Queen. Are. You. Ready?****************Sources & References:Bertolet, Anna Riehl.

A landmark report into Islamophobia has urged the government to introduce religious freedom legislation and counter anti-Muslim activity, which – like anti-Semitism – has soared since the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023. The official envoy on Islamophobia, Aftab Malik, says verbal and physical attacks on Australian Muslims are up 500 percent in the past two years. But can you legislate against hatred, if it falls short of violence? Can you also regulate the way people speak about any religion? Professor LUKE MCNAMARA of the University of New South Wales School of Law studies hate speech.History was made this week in Westminster Cathedral in London. For the first time more than three centuries, a member of the British royal family had a Catholic funeral. Katharine, the Duchess of Kent, was married to Queen Elizabeth's cousin. She died last week, aged 92. In 1994 , the Queen approved her decision to convert to Catholicism, making headlines at the time. King Charles attended the funeral mass, even though he's supreme governor of the Anglican Church. What bigger story does this reveal about faith in modern Britain? Professor LINDA WOODHEAD is a sociologist at Kings' College, London.Turkey is home to 3.4 million refugees -- 3.2 million from Syria. Less well-known, are those fleeing Turkey. Since a failed coup attempt against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in 2016, around 90,000 followers of the late Muslim cleric and philosopher Fetullah Gulen have left the country. Their first stop was neighbouring Greece. While most moved onto Germany and Scandinavia, several thousand remain, mainly in Athens.

Staatsbezoeken in het VK zijn doorgaans opgewekte, ongecompliceerde gebeurtenissen, waar de Britse burgers verder weinig van merken. In het geval van het bezoek van president Trump dat vandaag, woensdag begint, ligt het allemaal et iets anders. Hoe de komende dagen zullen verlopen is een kwestie van afwachten, maar de Britten staan stijf van de spanning. Hoe zullen de aangekondigde demonstraties verlopen en zal het ietwat ongeleide projectiel Donald Trump zich aan het protocol houden en zich niet met de Britse politiek bemoeien? Ook in deze aflevering Menig televisie format is hier op gebaseerd: het bijleggen van familievetes. Maar in het geval van Koning Charles en zoon Harry waren pottenkijkers niet welkom: Na anderhalf jaar radiostilte werd tijd vrij gemaakt voor een goed gesprek tussen vader en zoon in de hoop de plooien glad te strijken. En dat is een flinke klus maar vooral voor de Britse koning zeer welkom. Want een verzoening tussen vader en zoon zou het imago van Charles wel eens die broodnodige boost kunnen geven ... Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee.

Queen Elizabeth II's unwavering loyalty to Prince Andrew became one of the most glaring blind spots of her reign. Even as the Epstein scandal engulfed her son, forcing him out of royal duties and dragging the monarchy into global humiliation, she continued to shield him with public and private support. From quietly allowing him to keep privileges to reportedly helping fund legal settlements, her steadfastness toward Andrew stood in sharp contrast to the measured distance the palace often kept with other family controversies. For many observers, it was a sign of maternal instinct overriding political judgment — the Queen's deep affection for her son blinding her to the damage his behavior inflicted on the Crown's reputation.This loyalty, however, created friction within the family, especially with then-Prince Charles. Charles, ever mindful of the monarchy's survival and public image, saw Andrew as a liability who needed to be sidelined swiftly and decisively. His push for a tougher line clashed with the Queen's reluctance to cast her son adrift, causing a rift between mother and heir. The tension revealed an underlying difference in their approaches to the institution: the Queen led with loyalty to family, while Charles prioritized protecting the Crown at any cost. The fallout from Andrew's disgrace exposed not only Andrew's recklessness but also the strain it placed on the monarchy's leadership during a critical moment of transition.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

According to excerpts from Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, a new biography by Andrew Lownie, a tense encounter occurred following a storm in Northern Ireland in 2005. When the head of Hillsborough Castle informed Prince Andrew that the storm-damaged item had been planted by “the Queen Mother,” Andrew reportedly mocked the wording, asking, “Did you mean Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother?” He then allegedly continued, "And you still don't know the proper way to refer to my grandmother? You f-king imbecile. Get out." A royal aide characterized the Duke's behavior as “unbelievably cruel,” with reports that he often insisted, “I want this done and I want this done now. Do it!”This incident reinforces a broader portrayal of Prince Andrew as someone with a pattern of abrasive and demanding behavior toward staff. Royal sources and authors have frequently described such outbursts—whether through reported profanity, humiliation of aides, or other demeaning treatment—as symptomatic of his entitled demeanor behind the palace walls.o contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11268467/Prince-Andrew-launched-torrent-foul-language-Queens-press-secretary-new-book-claims.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In 2013, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands stepped down and handed the throne to her son, Willem Alexander. In 2022 Queen Elizabeth II of the UK died at the age of 96 and her son, Charles III inherited the throne. And on January 14th, 2024, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark abdicated in favor of her son, Frederik X. In just over 10 years, the world has gone from three accomplished, popular and long reigning Queens Regnant to zero. That's right, there are no female monarchs anywhere in the world. The future may be female, but not in the archaic system of hereditary monarchy. However there are several female heirs waiting in succession lines to be the next great Queen regnant. Let's take a look at which monarchies even allow women to occupy their thrones, and count down from those which will have to wait a few generations before getting a female sovereign, to those which are just one heartbeat, or abdication away from welcoming the World's next Queen Regnant. 11. Luxembourg - No women in direct succession 10. Bhutan - Sonam Yangdento, 3rd in line, cadet 9. Tonga - Princess Halaevalu, Princess Nanasipau'u and Princess Salote, all cadet 8. The United Kingdom & Commonwealth Realms - Princess Charlotte, 3rd in line, cadet 7. Monaco - Princess Gabriella, 2nd in line, cadet 6. Denmark Princess Isabella, 2nd in line, cadet 5. Norway - Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 2nd in line, direct succession 4. Spain - Leonor, Princess of Asturias, heir to the throne 3. The Netherlands - Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange, heir to the throne 2. Belgium - Princess Elisabeth, heir to the throne 1. Sweden - Crown Princess Victoria, heir to the throne, Princess Estelle, 2nd in line, direct succession Wild Cards: Andorra - Could have elected Princess any time, next election 2027 Thailand - King Rama X will name heir, Princess Bajrakitiyabha is a contender Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

Initially designed by George Carwardine in the 1930s and manufactured by Herbert Terry & Sons, over the years, the product has been used by the likes of Queen Elizabeth II, David Lloyd George, Picasso, Roald Dahl and Barbara Hepworth to name just a few. More recently, Terry has collaborated with fashion figures such as Margaret Howell and Paul Smith, as well as writing a design manifesto which talks about the importance of durability and repair. Importantly, the company now offers a lifetime guarantee for all its products. Happily too, it will be showing prominently at this year's Material Matters London – which runs from 17-20 September at Space House – celebrating the 90th anniversary of the 1227.In this episode we talk about: the pros and cons of running a family business; being ‘a small company with a big name'; how mistakes can lead to opportunities; his morning routine (which involves a spring); how the Anglepoise stays in perfect balance; the genius of George Carwardine; the product's evolution; why the Terry family handed the US market to Luxo; joining the family firm and making huge changes; his background in movies; initially feeling out of his depth; working with the brilliant Sir Kenneth Grange to reinvigorate the brand; the importance of repair; wanting to support design's grassroots; and why materials and systems are the company's future. You pre-register for Material Matters London here.Support the show

Prince William and Princess Catherine led tributes on the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's death, while Prince Harry paid his respects at St George's Chapel after flying in from California. William now faces a rare four days of consecutive public duties, while Harry begins a solo four-day visit focused on youth projects. Speculation continues over whether the King will make time to see his youngest son. Meanwhile, new stats show Harry is the most Googled royal, Archie is spotted at an expensive “British” soccer camp in California, and Catherine quietly steals the spotlight with a fresh new hairstyle at the Women's Rugby World Cup.

Net toen Keir Starmer dacht dat hij met een nieuwe intentieverklaring -wij zijn vergeten de hoeveelste dit was- de boel kon herpakken, zag de Britse premier vorige week een van zijn ministeriele kopstukken aftreden vanwege een schandaal. Een crisis die Starmer probeerde af te wenden met haastige kabinetswisselingen en nieuwe benoemingen. Maar de vraag is of deze nieuwe misère het al zeer gehavende imago van Labour niet nog meer gezichtsverlies oplevert. We blijven in de politiek, maar maken een uitstapje naar links: De nieuwe leider Zack Polanski van The Green Party heeft de pittige uitdaging om de populariteit van Farage en zijn Reform partij in te dammen. Hij won de interne verkiezingen om het leiderschap met glans en heeft een ding direct duidelijk gemaakt aan de regerende Labour Partij: "Wij zijn hier om jullie te vervangen". Ook in deze aflevering Hoe brei je een passend einde aan een van de meest iconische televisie- en filmseries uit de Britse geschiedenis? Met een slotfilm die morgen uitkomt, waarin met een groot, meeslepend en dramatisch schandaal valt het doek voor het immens populaire Downton Abbey. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk.

In early September 2020, amid growing scandal and public scrutiny over his associations with Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew traveled to Balmoral Castle to hold what was described as “crisis talks” with Queen Elizabeth II. This meeting was seen as a critical moment for the royal household, as the Queen and her advisors sought to manage the fallout from mounting allegations, including accusations by Virginia Giuffre and the widely publicized BBC Newsnight interview that followed. Sources at the time characterized the trip as an urgent effort to contain reputational damage and assess Andrew's future role within the monarchy.Though details of the discussions were never made public, the visit marked the beginning of a permanent shift for Prince Andrew. In the wake of the scandal, he stepped back from public duties and relinquished many of his official roles and patronages. The Balmoral meeting highlighted the monarchy's internal crisis and underscored the delicate balancing act between familial loyalty and institutional preservation as the royal family confronted one of its most serious controversies in decadesTo contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8692215/Duke-York-visited-Queen-Balmoral-crisis-talks-Jeffrey-Epstein.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On the second anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's passing, the focus shifts to whether Prince Harry will meet King Charles. William reportedly wants no part of it, fearing it would give Harry legitimacy. Meanwhile, Harry is said to have a “list of demands,” faces calls to step back from Invictus, and may finally be done with tell-all books. Plus, Prince William pops up in Eugene Levy's travel show, and Meghan's latest interview leaves viewers questioning the laugh track.

Today is Actors Day, and few actors have left an impression like Robert "Romeo" Coates, who was sort of the Florence Foster Jenkins of English stage stars.

Remember when you first heard someone refer to the 1990s as "the late 1900s"? That uncomfortable realization that you're becoming a historical artifact hits differently, and it's exactly where the High Class Dirtbags kick off their triumphant return episode after summer break.Diving headfirst into absurdity, the crew explores news that sounds fictional but isn't—like the chess champion accused of using wireless anal beads to cheat, or the extensive list of bizarre possessions owned by the late Queen Elizabeth II (all dolphins in the UK? really?). Their signature game "Guess That Crime" challenges hosts to determine demographics based solely on criminal descriptions, leading to hilarious revelations about biases and surprising truths.The conversation shifts seamlessly between cultural touchpoints and personal boundaries with their recurring segment "That's a No For Me, Dog." Would you pay $1000 just for a photo with your favorite celebrity? Could you date someone who can't cook? The unanimous answers reveal volumes about priorities and values, sparking debates that'll have you forming your own opinions.California's bizarre legal code gets thoroughly examined, from prohibitions against women driving in housecoats to laws against moth-hunting under streetlamps. Each strange regulation prompts the question: what happened to necessitate this law?Between discussions of technological evolution that make millennials feel ancient and heated debates about modern conveniences (the bidet conversation gets surprisingly passionate), the episode captures that perfect blend of nostalgic reflection and forward-looking cultural commentary—all wrapped in the irreverent humor that defines the High Class Dirtbags experience.Whether you're mourning your newfound status as someone from "the late 1900s" or just looking for unfiltered perspectives on today's strangest headlines, this episode delivers the laughs, insights, and camaraderie we've all been missing.

Dogs have been part of Country Life's editorial makeup since its inception. Agnes has a deep love for all dog breeds. Historically, dogs served various purposes in society. The shift from working dogs to companion dogs reflects societal changes. Photography has played a crucial role in shaping public perception of dogs. Agnes's personal experiences with dogs influenced her writing. The importance of preserving vulnerable native breeds is emphasized. Humans and dogs share a unique bond that transcends time. The book offers a snapshot of the breeds dear to Country Life. Sound Bites "Princess Diana actually called them a moving carpet of corgis because she was always had them at her ankles." - Agnes describing Queen Elizabeth II's famous corgi pack. "on his wedding night when Napoleon went back to the covers to hop into bed with Josephine, fortune popped out and savaged Napoleon." - The story of Josephine Bonaparte's pug attacking Napoleon on their wedding night. "Lord Byron had his beloved Newfoundland, Bowson... But a little known fact is that he also kept two bulldogs during his time at Cambridge University. And they were called Savage and Smut." - Revealing Byron's lesser-known bulldogs with memorable names. "all I observed was the silliness of the king playing with his dogs all the while and not minding the business." - Samuel Pepys' 1666 critique of King Charles II's obsession with his spaniels during government meetings. "And when one of the young princes appears on screen, she says, you know, could be William could be George. And then as soon as a corgi appears, she says instantly that Susan." - Queen Elizabeth II recognizing her dog before her own grandchildren in family videos. "the tale of Laszlo, the Dan-Diedenmont Terrier... this particular Terrier terrorized Boris Johnson when he was editing The Spectator." - A vulnerable native breed dog giving the future PM trouble. "there are great kennels at an estate here called Goodwood, which by the way had heating before the main house did." - The priority given to prize foxhounds over human comfort in aristocratic estates. "Dachshunds had a bit of a, you know, rough deal in this country historically... They were persecuted for being German." - The unfortunate wartime treatment of German dog breeds in Britain. "I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I agree. I mean, I don't think any dog could be described as grotesque." - Agnes diplomatically defending all dog breeds when asked about "grotesque looking dogs." "They said that Staffies should have a tail like a old fashioned pump handle and Titan really did." - A charming breed standard description that perfectly matched Agnes's own dog.

Vorige week was het de week van Nigel Farage, en ook deze week staat hij weer volop in de schijnwerpers. Zijn partij Reform UK staat al vier maanden op nummer een in alle peilingen. Volgens het merendeel van de Britse media is er eigenlijk maar een politicus die er op dit moment toe doet in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, en dat is meneer Farage. En dan van de van de huidige en de mogelijke toekomstige premier naar een oud premier, want vorige week was Tony Blair in Washington. Hij was aanwezig in het Witte Huis bij besprekingen over Gaza. Ook in deze aflevering Het leek zo’n goed idee. De Franse president beloofde enkele jaren geleden dat hij een vroeg middeleeuws tapijt, waar Engelsen destijds jaar aan geborduurd hadden, uit zou lenen aan het VK. De Britten juichten, ze azen namelijk al decennia, zo niet eeuwen op het Tapijt van Bayeux. Maar misschien juichten ze te vroeg want Franse conservatoren zeggen nu dat het bewuste borduurwerk veel te fragiel is om te worden vervoerd.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 30, 2025 is: protocol • PROH-tuh-kawl • noun Protocol most often refers to a system of rules explaining the correct conduct and procedures to be followed in a formal situation; in computer programming a protocol is a set of rules used in formatting data. Protocol can also refer to a plan for a scientific experiment or medical treatment, or to a document that describes the details of a diplomatic treaty. // What is the proper protocol for declining a job offer? // My doctor recommended a simplified treatment protocol for my condition. See the entry > Examples: "Back in the UK, it's still unclear what kind of royal life, if any, lies ahead for Archie and Lilibet. While they hold their princely and princess titles, bestowed upon them following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, their day-to-day lives in Montecito are a world away from palace protocol." — Faye James, Hello Magazine, 15 July 2025 Did you know? In Late Greek, the word prōtokollon referred to the first sheet of a papyrus roll bearing the date of its manufacture. In some instances, it consisted of a flyleaf that was glued to the outside of a manuscript's case and provided a description of its contents. Coming from the Greek prefix prōt- ("first") and the verb kollan ("to glue together"), prōtokollon gave us our word protocol. In its earliest uses in the 15th century, the word referred to a record of a document or transaction. By the turn of the 18th century it was being used for the original record or minutes of a diplomatic negotiation, and still later for the etiquette observed by heads of state in ceremonies and relations with other dignitaries. This sense has since extended in meaning to cover any code of proper conduct.

00:00:00 – America's Podcast & Apple Pay Meltdown The hosts kick off with jokes about being “America's podcast” and share some odd headlines. They play a viral clip of a woman crying because she thought Apple Pay used “Apple Dollars” instead of real money, leading to a big credit card bill. The crew jokes about debt collectors, confusion over Steve Jobs vs. Tim Cook, and whether the clip was parody or genuine. 00:10:00 – Red-Eyed Aliens: Kelly Cahill's Encounter They dive into Kelly Cahill's 1993 alien abduction in Australia, where she reported seeing tall, black, red-eyed beings. Her strong Christian faith framed the experience as a spiritual battle. She telepathically pleaded with the craft, saw multiple witnesses present, and later experienced missing time. 00:20:00 – The Terrifying Encounter Unfolds Kelly and her husband stopped their car near a glowing craft. They, along with several bystanders, witnessed red-eyed entities gliding toward them. Kelly felt overwhelming fear, nausea, and a psychic assault. The beings projected the thought “let's kill them,” before a sterile voice from the craft claimed: “We mean you no harm. I am her father.” Kelly resisted, insisting they were evil. 00:30:00 – Resistance, Faith, and Aftermath Kelly fought back, invoking God, which seemed to weaken the beings' hold. After missing time, she awoke with strange body marks and signs of a possible phantom pregnancy. Later, she was visited at night by hooded, red-eyed entities who appeared to drain her life force. In dreams, they offered her a ride if she abandoned her Bible—she chose faith. Investigators later confirmed multiple witnesses to the craft. 00:40:00 – Red-Eyed Entities Worldwide The discussion broadens to other cases: Mothman, Puerto Rico hooded figures, Alabama sightings, Brazil's Varginha incident, and Jacques Vallée's research linking red eyes to demon and fairy lore. The hosts suggest these beings thrive on fear, unlike the more clinical “grey” aliens, and may be soul-stealing entities. 00:50:00 – Remote Viewing 3I Atlas Comet/Asteroid Shifting topics, they cover remote viewing sessions of the interstellar object 3I Atlas. Viewers reported it as partly biological and artificial, slimy, with advanced technology, cloaking, and possible AI. Descriptions included observation windows, propulsion systems, and intentions of manipulation or control. The consensus: it's not friendly. 01:00:00 – Dark Intentions of 3I Atlas Remote viewers described ominous behaviors: mind control, scanning, mass hysteria, and disdain for humanity. The object seems ancient, engineered, and possibly waiting for the right time to reveal itself. Its closest approach to Earth is expected in December 2025. The hosts joke about “slimy camouflage aliens” ruining Christmas. 01:10:00 – Gifts, Gags, and Phone Lines Listeners sent the hosts a Hulk Hogan bobblehead and Flatwoods Monster puzzle, which go onto the “Shelf of Honor.” They open the phone lines, offering five pounds of pumpkin spice as a giveaway. Callers speculate on 3I Atlas, joke about Santa being an alien, and discuss pumpkin scarcity in Alaska. 01:20:00 – Calls from Beyond: Queen Elizabeth Returns A caller role-plays as Queen Elizabeth from the afterlife, lamenting the lack of pumpkin spice in heaven and repeatedly chanting “mama mama.” The hosts joke about her getting medical advice from Dr. Pepper in the afterlife. 01:30:00 – News of the Weird: Costumed Justice News updates include: Police bodycam footage of Chuck E. Cheese being arrested for credit card fraud, traumatizing kids. A Florida man in Batman pajamas stopping a burglar, with the pajamas giving him “extra confidence.” Discussion of lame Batman villains and the idea of Batman vs. Bigfoot. A Japanese AI-generated video simulating a Mount Fuji eruption to warn citizens, described as “AI fear porn.” 01:40:00 – AI Fear Porn & Mount Fuji The hosts cover a Japanese government initiative using AI-generated videos to simulate a Mount Fuji eruption. The goal is to prepare Tokyo residents, but the hyper-realistic clips look terrifying — with ash clouds, gridlocked transport, and people panicking in the streets. They joke about it being “AI fear porn,” noting it's effective but unsettling. The discussion touches on disaster preparedness, psychological effects of such visuals, and whether people would take it seriously or just freak out. 01:50:00 – Wrapping Up with Oddities The show closes with more banter on AI, disasters, and absurdity. They riff on cultural quirks, emergency responses, and how media often blurs the line between warning and entertainment. As always, it ends with a mix of humor, skepticism, and bizarre imagery — leaving listeners with both laughs and unease.

Ellen Skrmetti was born and raised in Ripley, Mississippi, not far from Memphis, in a family that was devoted to the Southern Baptist church. For Ellen, a person of faith but also an aspiring comedian, this turned out to be great source material, as did all the characters in her small Southern town. During the pandemic, she started posting videos that all started with “Hey Jesus, It's Me,” and then she would launch into gossipy monologues about her neighbors, critiques of a cousin's potato salad, or—famously—what would have happened if Queen Elizabeth had died in the South. Now she's got a new book that takes its name from those viral hits and expands it a bit: Hey, Jesus, It's Me: I Have Questions, Comments, and Concerns. Ellen lives in Birmingham now, so we got to do this one in the Southern Living offices, and she was just as charming and funny in person as she is on Instagram. Sid talks to Ellen about why her yeast rolls are controversial, what it's been like getting back to standup after a fruitful detour through social media, and having what she calls a “true Southern church lady for a mother.” For more info visit: southernliving.com/biscuitsandjam Biscuits & Jam is produced by: Sid Evans - Editor-in-Chief, Southern Living Krissy Tiglias - GM, Southern Living Lottie Leymarie - Executive Producer Michael Onufrak - Audio Engineer & Editor/Producer Jeremiah Lee McVay - Producer Learn more about your ad choices.

And through it all, she was a dedicated support and friend to the Queen. Let's peek behind the tabloid headlines and the outrageous scenes in the Crown, and get to know the real Princess Margaret.

Our guest today is Lord Ivar Mountbatten, a great-great-great grandson of Queen Victoria, cousin of Prince Phillip, descendant of Russian Tsars and of Pushkin, and the second son of David, the late Marquess of Milford Haven, who was Prince Philip's best man at his wedding to Princess Elizabeth in 1947. Lord Ivar tells Gyles about his complex and fascinating lineage, and he also tells him about growing up in a grand house "like Downton Abbey", surrounded by servants and with a mother who was lazy, uninterested in her children and too posh to pack her own suitcase. He talks about the death of his father when he was only 7, and about his relationship with his Great Uncle, Louis Mountbatten, who was eventually assassinated in 1979. Ivar talks about his schooldays and tells Gyles some great stories about holidaying with Queen Elizabeth II. He talks about his sexuality, about meeting and marrying his wife, and about how he eventually gained the courage to come out as gay and begin a new life with his now husband, James Coyle. And he talks about appearing on the US version of the Traitors! This is a fascinating snapshot of life in the English aristocracy, and an honest account of coming out as gay when you're a member of one of the most famous families in the world. Enjoy this.
