This is a "gift" that you might want to return; or at least you'll be thankful that we did the suffering so you don't have to watch it yourself, and the joy you get is our combined misery having watched this piece of "cinema" that is more like something you find on the floor in the Reindeer's stables.We're discussing the Christmas "cult classic" 'Santa Claus Conquers The Martians', which might be less cult classic and more like something a cult uses to deprogram people when they just don't want any more members. ("We only have so many tracksuits...")Joining us is Jake from ⁠⁠Real Piece Of Sitcom⁠⁠, the podcast going through every sitcom in thematic order, which you can hear each Thursday. He's also part of the incredible Twitch channel, ⁠⁠Lets Play Deathray⁠⁠, where they variety stream all sorts of awesome content, banter back and forth, and interact with their community in amazing ways. And Mark from RUSHING THE FIELD (link below because I'm too lazy to double up), and of course, Super Producer/Co-host Jared, from ⁠⁠Intern Talking Points and ⁠⁠Riley's Parrot⁠⁠ who, you will probably not be surprised, liked the movie.For those brave souls wishing to partake of this madness yourselves, here you go:Santa Claus Conquers The MartiansWe continue "Very Important Questions" and YOU, the listener, can weigh in on the "would you rather" questions. Check it out @FileUnderPod.If you, or a loved one, is, or has been affected by sexual violence, please know that there are good people and organizations in the world that can offer help.⁠⁠RAINN⁠⁠ is the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization.⁠⁠NSVRC⁠⁠ (national sexual violence research center) has resources to help victims, and, importantly, tips on prevention and warning signs.⁠⁠SPSAmerica⁠⁠ is America's leading suicide prevention network.If you have the means to donate, please do so.

In this episode, I share the deeper psychological lessons inside the new Diddy documentary, not to debate guilt or innocence, but to understand the human systems that create cycles of power, harm, silence, and attachment. This isn't a Hollywood story or an industry story. It's a human story. The documentary made Diddy feel more human rather than less, and that's what makes it so unsettling. When you look closely at the incentives, the grooming, the rewards, the fear, the validation, and the primal drives behind the behavior, you start to see a spectrum that exists in all of us — the universal instincts for status, belonging, intimacy, dominance, and connection. I also talk about Cassie, Kirk Burrowes, and the partners who stayed inside that ecosystem, not to blame but to understand the psychological gravity of coercive control. When we understand the forces acting on people — the love-bombing, the fear, the dependency, the identity fusion — we gain clarity on why people stay, why people participate, and why some people break free. This video is ultimately about human nature, accountability, restraint, and how to build relationships where love and power don't collapse into each other. If you or someone you care about has experienced sexual assault or abuse, you are not alone.

By January 2007, all five suspects were in custody. Prosecutors had charged them with 46 counts including murder, rape, kidnapping, and robbery. Between 2008-2010, four separate trials resulted in convictions. It seemed like justice had finally been served and the families could breathe. Then a scandal involving the judge, who presided over the trials, would rock their worlds. Because of his demons, the families would have to go through it all over again.Support ResourcesFor Survivors of Violence:https://www.rainn.org/ - RAINN (1-800-656-4673)https://www.thehotline.org/ - National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233)https://www.crisistextline.org/ - Crisis Text Line (Text HOME to 741741)https://988lifeline.org/ - 988 Suicide & Crisis LifelineFor Families of Murder Victims:https://www.pomc.org/ - Parents of Murdered Childrenhttps://victimsofcrime.org/ - National Center for Victims of Crimehttps://www.ncvc.org/ - National Crime Victim Law InstituteSources:https://www.newspapers.com/ (Historical archive - subscription required)https://www.knoxnews.com/ (Search "Christian Newsom" for extensive archive)https://abcnews.go.com/ (Search "Channon Christian")https://www.cnn.com/ (Coverage of trials and scandal)https://www.foxnews.com/ (Michelle Malkin coverage 2007)https://www.wbir.com/ (WBIR-TV extensive trial coverage)https://www.wate.com/ (WATE 6 On Your Side)https://www.wvlt.tv/ (WVLT Local 8 News)https://www.tncourts.gov/ (Tennessee State Courts)https://www.tsc.state.tn.us/ (Tennessee Supreme Court opinions)https://www.knoxcounty.org/criminal/ (Knox County Criminal Court)https://law.justia.com/cases/tennessee/ (Tennessee case law database)https://scholar.google.com/ (Search: "State v.

Hospice Nurse Julie sits down with Rainn to completely re-frame how we think about death, dying and what might come next. From the biology of how the body peacefully shuts down to mystical deathbed visions, guardian angel stories and “miracle pancakes,” she shares raw, hopeful and surprisingly funny lessons from years at the bedside. They dive into addiction, spirituality, fear, atheism, pets showing up at the end and how remembering our mortality can actually make life feel more precious and free. SPONSORS!

Between January 6-9, 2007, Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom were held captive, tortured, raped, and murdered by five perpetrators at a house on Chipman Street in Knoxville, Tennessee.The details are documented through court testimony, medical examiner reports, and forensic evidence are among the most horrific ever presented in an American courtroom. Prosecutors, judges, and jurors struggled to maintain composure. This episode documents what happened during those 36 hours. It is extremely difficult to hear but their families insisted the world know the truth because only by understanding the full horror can we appreciate why justice mattered so much.In memory of Channon and Chris, whose families demanded the truth be told.Support ResourcesFor Survivors of Violence:https://www.rainn.org/ - RAINN (1-800-656-4673)https://www.thehotline.org/ - National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233)https://www.crisistextline.org/ - Crisis Text Line (Text HOME to 741741)https://988lifeline.org/ - 988 Suicide & Crisis LifelineFor Families of Murder Victims:https://www.pomc.org/ - Parents of Murdered Childrenhttps://victimsofcrime.org/ - National Center for Victims of Crimehttps://www.ncvc.org/ - National Crime Victim Law InstituteSources:https://www.newspapers.com/ (Historical archive - subscription required)https://www.knoxnews.com/ (Search "Christian Newsom" for extensive archive)https://abcnews.go.com/ (Search "Channon Christian")https://www.cnn.com/ (Coverage of trials and scandal)https://www.foxnews.com/ (Michelle Malkin coverage 2007)https://www.wbir.com/ (WBIR-TV extensive trial coverage)https://www.wate.com/ (WATE 6 On Your Side)https://www.wvlt.tv/ (WVLT Local 8 News)https://www.tncourts.gov/ (Tennessee State Courts)https://www.tsc.state.tn.us/ (Tennessee Supreme Court opinions)https://www.knoxcounty.org/criminal/ (Knox County Criminal Court)https://law.justia.com/cases/tennessee/ (Tennessee case law database)https://scholar.google.com/ (Search: "State v.

On January 6, 2007, Channon Christian (21) and Christopher Newsom (23) went on a date. They were young, in love, and planning to attend a friend's birthday party.They never arrived. What happened to Channon and Chris over the next 36 hours is known as one of the most brutal crime sprees in Tennessee history. But before we discuss the horror, we need to know who they were, the real people behind the headlines, the beloved children whose families would spend 18 years fighting for justice.This four-part series tells their complete story: the victims, the crimes, the trials, the judicial scandal that forced retrials, and the lasting legacy. In this episode, let's learn who Channon Gail Christian and Hugh Christopher Newsom Jr. were.

In this series, Jan selects a word to focus on for each month, encouraging growth in a specific area, challenging herself and her audience. This year Jan will be focusing on the difficult words and topics we tend to tie to ourselves, offering insight and tools to manage or overcome these obstacles. This month, the focus is on boundaries. Jan shares insights from a transformative business/entrepreneurial conference she attended, "Survivor to CEO" which was created by friend of the pod Arci Grey. Jan reflects on the powerful connection between past trauma and the challenges faced by entrepreneurs, particularly women. Using Donna Thorell's book, "Ditch the Rules, Use the Tools, and Reclaim Your Life," as a guide, Jan delves into a crucial topic for healing: the power of boundaries. She explains why setting boundaries is an act of self-respect, not selfishness, and explores the science behind how they rewire the brain, lower stress, and foster healthier relationships. Jan offers relatable examples and reflective questions to help listeners identify where they need boundaries and find the courage to enforce them for a more peaceful and empowered life.Mentioned Resources:Survivor to C.E.O.

They get into what The Office has taught people about connection and comfort, why consumer spirituality can't fill a spiritual void, and how community, humility, and humor help us build lives that matter.

In this Bell Work Talk, Dr. Jamie Lewis Saye discusses her team's pilot study comparing blind swab and speculum-assisted evidence collection during sexual assault forensic medical examinations. She highlights how both methods yield similar rates of Y-screen positivity and CODIS-eligible DNA profiles, underscoring the potential of less invasive approaches to improve survivor participation in evidence collection while maintaining forensic integrity. Dr. Jamie Lewis Saye, DNP, CNM, APRN, SANE-A, is an Assistant Professor in the Wellstar School of Nursing at Kennesaw State University and Clinical Director of the SAFE Center. A certified nurse-midwife and experienced Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, Dr. Saye brings over a decade of experience in forensic nursing, trauma-informed care, and interdisciplinary community-academic collaboration. Her research focuses on strengthening forensic evidence collection practices, advancing survivor-centered policies, and improving health and legal outcomes for victims of violence. Dr. Saye recently led a multi-site pilot study across 13 sexual assault centers in the Southeastern U.S. that compared blind swab and speculum-assisted vaginal/cervical specimen collection methods. These findings inform both clinical training and policy, supporting survivor-centered and trauma-informed approaches in forensic nursing practice. Resources: Saye, J. L., et al. (2025).

Rainn Wilson joins the guys this week to talk Code 3, his new action comedy with Lil Rel Howery about paramedics on a night from hell. They get into wild US Open stories, the legacy of The Office, hot takes on classic movies, MTV nostalgia, and why tennis needs a Happy Gilmore moment. Plus, Rainn opens up about porn, spirituality, and surviving Hollywood's ups and downs. Sponsored by:

Send us a textMen, especially black men, are often lacking spaces to talk with other men about themselves and their experiences with victimization and harm. This gap was identified by this weeks guest Martin Henson in response to the #MeToo and he created BMEN with the idea of exploring healthy ways to respond to sexual harm, and expanded to a holistic focus on building spaces for black men to process their unique experience. Join us as we discuss the work BMEN does, how they engage men, and how we can start to create spaces for more men to have conversations about how they navigate the world. For more information about BMEN check out bmenfoundation.org.

In this very personal chapter from his book Soul Boom, Rainn Wilson reflects on life and death as he is preparing his father's body for burial. Rainn Wilson is an actor, comedian, author, podcaster, writer, and director. He is most known for his role as Dwight Schrute on the NBC sitcom The Office (2005-2013), for which he earned three consecutive Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

Original Air Date: August 29, 2017Enjoy this episode, specially selected for our Super Soul Summer—a series celebrating some of the greatest Super Soul moments and messages to inspire and uplift your spirit. Actor Rainn Wilson of “The Office” fame comes with his own list of “Life's Big Questions.” Rainn reveals his uniquely spiritual upbringing and how it has affected every aspect of his life. Rainn also discusses his meaningful digital platform, “SoulPancake,” which challenges people to be “creative, explore their souls and dig into life's big questions.” Rainn's revelations about his beliefs in regards to art and prayer causes Oprah to say, “That made the hairs on my head raise.”

Freedom came with a price. In the final episode, Dr. Phil explores what happened after the escape—how Michelle Knight emerged from the shadows with no home, no family, and serious health issues. With support, she fought to reclaim her future—writing a bestselling book, finding love, and building a life of resilience. Meanwhile, Ariel Castro stood before a courtroom, denying the abuse, blaming his victims, and calling himself “not a monster.” But justice had its day. This episode breaks down the long-term trauma of captivity, the strength required to heal, and why Castro's delusions couldn't survive the truth.

In part 3, Ariel Castro tightens his grip on control after bringing a third victim into his home. As the dynamic between the captives shifts, so does the level of psychological warfare. Michelle Knight describes how Castro used manipulation, fear, and false promises to dominate their every move. Dr. Phil analyzes the mindset of a sociopath—why predators escalate, how they exploit power, and what drives their need to crush autonomy. Behind locked doors, hope flickers. Then, one mistake cracks the illusion of control—and nothing stays hidden forever.

In Part 2 of Inside the Cleveland Kidnapping, Dr. Phil walks you through how Ariel Castro tortured Michelle Knight with chains, threats, and psychological warfare. Michelle describes how she read his moods, played along, and used her instincts to stay alive. Castro didn't just beat and rape her—he isolated her, starved her, and manipulated her with lies about her son and her fate. Dr. Phil breaks down how Castro played God in his house, demanded total obedience, and escalated his abuse when he felt his power slipping. This episode shows how survivors like Michelle fight not just with strength—but with strategy, clarity, and an unstoppable will to live.
