Civil war in Egypt concludes after nearly a decade of strife, with Cleopatra II seeking support from the Seleucids before being reunited with her brother and daughter in 124. Ptolemy VIII's death in 116 puts to an end one of the most ruthless and cunning politicians of the Hellenistic period, and the poisonous effects of his fifty-year career sets the tone of the dynasty for the remainder of its history.

Featuring Corey and Mark from And The Podcast Will RockThere's a guy in Tennessee who thought Canadian music was just Rush. He was wrong. This is the episode that fixed that.Sean, Todd, and Corey from And The Podcast Will Rock spent 12 hours on prep work — between them — to put together the ultimate Canadian music education for Mark, Corey's American co-host on the Van Halen podcast And The Podcast Will Rock. The playlist covers four corners of Canadian music — classic, newer, rock, and metal — and Mark's reactions are everything you'd hope for.Along the way there's a debate about what makes something a bar song, whether Kim Mitchell is the Canadian David Lee Roth or the Canadian Huey Lewis, why Canadian bands are apparently mandated to have singers with impossibly high upper registers, the difference between a Spinal Tap bassist and a Triumph bassist (it is not as much as you'd think), why Nickelback's problem is their fans and not their music, what happens when you buy beer in Canada versus Tennessee, and whether the Headstones doing Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald at 4 minutes 46 seconds is better than Gordon Lightfoot doing it at 17 minutes.It is.Welcome to Canada, Mark. You're one of us now.This episode features:Triumph — the power trio from Ontario who were massive in Texas for reasons nobody has fully explainedDevin Townsend — whose Addicted album is the one you need to sit down before pressing play, and whose connection to Steve Vai most people have forgottenMax Webster — Kim Mitchell before he went solo, Battle Scar with Geddy Lee, Alex and Neil playing along, and Mark immediately recognizing Rush before being told who it wasKim Mitchell — Go For Soda, Rock and Roll Duty, Easy to Tame, and the video that features what looks exactly like BugamoKiller Dwarfs — the band that gave Mark Iron Maiden and early Judas Priest vibes and apparently played to a certain someone's tape deck back in the Moncton daysThe Northern Pikes — the Saskatchewan bar song that Corey picked specifically for the day Mark comes to visitThe Odds — Heterosexual Man, featuring Kids in the Hall in the video, a Corner Gas connection nobody knew, and everybody ending up in dragThe Headstones — Tweeter and the Monkey Man, a Traveling Wilburys cover, the beer CD promotion story, and a casting session for the movie version of the songThe Tragically Hip — Ahead by a Century, the SNL appearance, the Dan Aykroyd introduction, why they're Canada's Bruce Springsteen, and why Dave Matthews is a poor man's Tragically HipGuests:Corey — Fine Wine Corey — And The Podcast Will RockMark — Craft Beer Mark — And The Podcast Will RockLinktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/seangeekpodcastWe are a part of the Boneless Podcast Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.com/ Merch:Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public
If you’ve ever felt that nagging sense that the South Australia you were promised at the ballot box isn’t quite the one being delivered, this episode is for you. Stewart Sweeney arrived in Adelaide in 1975 to work inside the Dunstan government’s industrial democracy unit, and fifty years later he’s applying that same insider’s eye to a premier he believes is running the tobacco industry’s old doubt-sowing playbook against the citizens fighting to save the Park Lands. It’s a long, unhurried conversation – fitting, Steve notes, for an episode built around a Negroni “made to be sipped slowly and savoured.” On that note, before the main event, in the SA Drink Of The Week, Alexis and Tina Cattley – the show’s resident cocktail authorities – put Never Never’s Panettone Negroni through its paces, fresh off its win as World’s Best Contemporary Cocktail at the 2026 World Drink Awards in London. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, Adelaide music legend John Schumann returns with the Vagabond Crew to perform and unpack “Rag-tag Extremist Blues,” the song born directly from Malinauskas’ now-infamous put-down of Park Lands protesters.

Running Sheet: Rag-Tag Extremists 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:04:32 SA Drink Of The Week There SA Drink Of The Week this week is Never Never Panettone Negroni. Steve, self-declared “Negroni newbie,” calls in reinforcements for this one: returning cocktail experts Alexis and Tina Cattley, last on the show refereeing a Crows-versus-Power gin showdown. They start with a reference Negroni built by Alexis from Never Never triple juniper gin, a Ruby Bitter in place of Campari, and a small-batch Rosso vermouth from David Franz, north of Adelaide – a drink Steve describes as landing “like a cloud-like pillow,” with a gentle bitter-orange finish. Tina, a self-described “Negroni naysayer” put off by Campari’s bitterness, finds herself won over by how the flavours linger and play off one another. Then comes the star of the segment: Never Never’s bottled Panettone Negroni, fresh from being crowned World’s Best Contemporary Cocktail at the 2026 World Drink Awards in London, and born behind the bar of the brand’s McLaren Vale distillery door before going nationwide. Built from triple juniper gin, a bitter citrus aperitif, sweet vermouth, aged muscat, orange liqueur, rye distillate and vanilla bean, it lands as something else entirely – “IMAX Christmas cake inside my mouth,” in Steve’s words. Alexis reckons it’s the perfect entry point for Negroni sceptics and a ready-made Christmas gift (buy two bottles, he warns – one won’t survive the wait), while Tina, newly vindicated in her Campari aversion, likens it to a sherry or port with all the spiced-cake flavour of the season, minus the traditional Negroni’s lingering bitterness. 00:18:51 Stewart Sweeney Stewart Sweeney has spent fifty years watching power slip loose from democratic control, and he’s watched a lot of it from the inside. In January 1978 he was working inside the Premier’s department when Don Dunstan sacked his own police commissioner over the Salisbury affair – a decision a Royal Commission later vindicated. Nearly fifty years on, Steve posits that the shoe is now on the other foot: where Dunstan acted because he felt deceived by an official, he contends today’s citizens are the ones being deceived, by a premier “savaging our Parklands for a golf tournament and a motorcycle race.” Sweeney’s own arrival in South Australia is a story in itself. A Glaswegian socialist who’d been coaching tennis in upstate New York and found himself unexpectedly unemployed back in Scotland, he stumbled into a tutoring job at the University of Tasmania, landed – almost by accident – in the middle of the Lake Pedder fight, and was introduced to the Democratic Labor Party within his first week in the country by his next-door neighbour, a young Gerard Henderson. From there it was a short hop to Adelaide and Don Dunstan’s Unit for Industrial Democracy, where Sweeney worked alongside economist Phil Bentley on an initiative to bring worker participation into South Australian workplaces – and where, as a footnote that says a great deal about how political communication has evolved, a young Mike Rann landed his very first Adelaide job doing media for the unit. Steve puts it to Sweeney that this early media training was the first real sign of rot in the system – the moment premiers became unreachable, hiding behind stage-managed doorstops instead of being interviewed. Sweeney doesn’t fully disagree, though he tempers it: whatever else came of it, Rann’s genuine gift was for writing speeches fast and communicating big-picture ideas clearly, “sort of decades before AI.” The conversation’s sharpest edge comes when Steve puts the government’s own numbers to Sweeney: the premier’s claim that only 585 of the Park Lands’ roughly 9,000 trees are affected by the disputed golf and motorsport development, against Park Lands management’s markedly different tally. Sweeney names the mechanism he believes is at work – the doubt strategy pioneered by the tobacco industry against the medical evidence on smoking. You don’t need to win the argument, he explains – you just need to plant enough doubt to keep people from acting on their convictions. Layer social media on top of that old tobacco-industry trick, he argues, and doubt becomes exponentially more powerful. Steve adds a live example of his own: an anti-protester Facebook page mocking demonstrators as “NIMBYs,” liked by the premier and half his ministry, that nobody in Labor will admit to running. None of this is abstract history for Sweeney – he’s a park guardian for Park 11 North, and he brings real texture to what’s actually at stake. He unpacks his argument that Adelaide’s Park Lands and squares are treated as “available” land rather than civic inheritance – fenced off for events for weeks at a time, repeatedly re-turfed and re-fenced in what he calls an annual cycle of “fence, event, repair” – and traces the intellectual lineage of the neoliberal thinking now driving those decisions back to a 1949 gathering in Switzerland convened by Friedrich Hayek. He also charts how a shrinking, disciplined leadership pipeline – what he only half-jokingly calls “Farrellism,” after Senator Don Farrell – has narrowed South Australian Labor’s internal debate at exactly the moment its base is most restless, evidenced by the wave of Adelaide residents telling him online, in effect, “I loved Peter Malinauskas, but now I hate Peter Malinauskas.” Sweeney closes on a note that’s more hopeful than the rest of the conversation might suggest. Reaching for the “world systems” thinking that has shaped his outlook for three decades, he reminds listeners that empires, ideologies and premierships all eventually give way to something else – pointing to the radical London reformers who dreamed up the idea of Adelaide in the first place, and to public servant Wainwright, whose ideas quietly transformed the Playford-era economy, as proof that a handful of good ideas, patiently pursued, can still redirect a small regional economy like ours. Further articles by Stewart Sweeney Manufacturing Doubt: Peter Malinauskas’s Political Weapon Think “outside the fence” Power without power: Is Farrellism Labor’s solution or its problem? Productivity is the symptom. Rentier capitalism is the disease 01:45:23 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage this week we listen to Rag-Tag Extremist Blues by John Schumann & The Vagabond Crew. The episode closes with John Schumann and the Vagabond Crew performing “Rag-Tag Extremist Blues” – a song that exists purely because Peter Malinauskas dismissed Park Lands protesters with that exact phrase. Schumann, a good deal more measured these days than in his fiery Redgum years, tells Steve he “grabbed it and expanded on it,” deliberately framing his cast of extremists as ordinary South Australians: a retired teacher, a war veteran, taxpaying citizens who’ve never broken a rule in their lives. He’s candid that his fear is less about the golf course – “that boat’s sailed” – and more about the MotoGP development still to come, and about a public whose attention span, he admits, will inevitably wane long before the next election. Streaming and download proceeds go directly to the Adelaide Park Lands Association, and the band will donate part of every ticket sold for their show at The Gov on 29 August to the same cause.

The wind is blowing and it is bothering everyone. Are you confused? Did you just kill a man? Did pull the trigger and now he is dead? These are all fine questions, and the answers are easy come, and easy go. What does Namor think? Just that it is too late, his time has come. Shivers rune down his spine, body's aching all the time. He wants to say goodbye everybody, he's got to go. He has to leave them all behind and face the truth. Rick Sheridan really does not care any way the wind blows. The Thing is very straight forward. He just sees a little silhouetto of a man. Ben wants to do the Fandango. He wants thunderbolt and lightning. The Thing wants to be very, very frightening. And dear Dragonman and Alex. Beelzebub has made you a devil for this fight. You can't stone or spin in their eyes. You definitely can't love and leave them to die. Oh, baby, don't do this to me.

As the army of Antiochus VII goes down in Media, Demetrius II returns to Syria after being released from Parthian captivity. Nobody is particularly happy to see him, including his (former) wife Cleopatra Thea, and the Syrians' hatred of their former king inspires the arrival of a Ptolemaic-backed claimant to the throne, Alexander II Zabinas. With three husbands having come and gone, Cleopatra makes her own bid for power as the sole ruler of kingdom, willing to eliminate any who oppose her - including her own children.

Todd updates us on the continuing saga of his backyard shed build—gravel stamping, Red River gumbo soil challenges, Costco door orientation problems, and his decision to buy plans from a Regina DIY guy on Etsy (rather than giving money to Costco). We also check in on Fitbit progress and celebrate Abby's first soccer goal in a perfectly called play that had Sean scrambling for his phone too late.The conversation meanders through TSN's pricing versus Netflix, the joy and frustration of streaming subscriptions, and memories of going to the movies including a fascinating discussion about intermission culture in Portugal and how Europe does a few things better than North America. That leads into a rant about proprietary charging cables, Apple's lightning connector, and why USB-C finally makes everyone's life easier.Todd accidentally name-drops two song titles while discussing his sod work—becoming the accidental Segway King—triggering a classic Pass or Go session. First up is Cinderella's "Falling Apart at the Seams" from Long Cold Winter, with Sean and Todd debating Tom Keifer's clean voice versus his signature rasp. Then comes Ratt's Lay It Down connected to "laying sod".The back half of the episode dives deep into Rush's reunion tour featuring new drummer Anika, who Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee discovered playing with Jeff Beck. Sean and Todd watch her perform online in real time and are visibly blown away—comparing her fluid time signature changes to Eddie Van Halen falling down a flight of stairs and landing on his feet. Ticket prices for the Toronto show (sold out, resale at $456+) prompt a conversation about concert costs, Taylor Swift's Red Tour, and whether Rush coming to Winnipeg would be worth $300 a ticket.The episode wraps with Sean mentioning a future episode dedicated to the band Bliss and their album, a tribute to his late friend and colleague Ray, who introduced him to the band and evolved from a pretty good guitarist to a really great one. Sean also invites the In Obscuria guys to come on the show after they attend the Rush Toronto concert.Special thanks to Patreon supporters Ronald George Moore, Sam Thompson, Ruby, Tony Griggs, Corey Morissette, Kevin Brown, and Danny Pabst.Linktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/seangeekpodcastWe are a part of the Boneless Podcast Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.com/ Merch:Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public
Vroom Vroom. Rev up your engines and be ready to be a creep. That's right, we need to dive into the fact and truth of the Quiet Man. And we get to see Reed being suave. It can happen. Trust us. We are professionals. Let us check in on this loser dude who is the antagonist of the story. The Quiet Man. He is so creepy and disturbed. And yet....he also has no redeeming qualities. So, yeah. I am not sure what else to say about him. Instead, I want to talk about flying cars. Flying cars are cool. And flying cars made from cool cars are uber cool. If you have a sweet ride, and then you amp it up by giving it altitude, well, welcome to the jungle. Back to creepy face boy, he is someone that would not desire a cool look to a flying car. No, this guy wants a flying car that would fly into the Baxter Building or that would explode in such a way to implicate the Fantastic Four. You know....that guy. A flying car would be wasted on this egomaniac. The Quiet Man thinks only in terms of revenge, not in enjoyment. What a tool. Man, I hate people that don't appreciate flying cars. If I ever met someone who could fly and they told me that they did not need a flying car, I would probably hit them with a hammer. Or throw a shield at their stupid face. I would just fight everyone that did not like or appreciate a good flying car. I mean, really. Put up your dukes and defend. I have to show you my true love for a true awesome flying car. You will respect. Man, I want a flying car. Maybe I need to take a vacation.

It's one of the greatest films ever made. Doug has seen it more times than he can count. And for years, he's been waiting for the moment his daughter was ready. This Father's Day weekend, it happened, but not before they worked their way through Batman Begins first. The Batman Begins debrief alone is worth the price of admission: Natalie still doesn't understand why Bruce Wayne's parents had to die and genuinely wondered whether Batman was going to kill Rachel and Alfred in the film. She also thought that Batman can, apparently, talk to bats. Then came The Dark Knight. Doug prepped her on the Joker's philosophy, the importance of Batman's no-kill rule, and the practical effects behind the hospital explosion, which Doug and Jill actually witnessed being filmed when they lived downtown Chicago. Natalie handled the pencil scene with more composure than expected. She processed the ferry sequence. She understood the stakes, and spent the entire climax waiting for Bane to show up. And when it was over, she looked at her dad and said: "I see why you like it." Ten years. Worth every second. Also this episode: a genuinely great question — if you could go back to high school or college and take one class again with everything you know now, which class would you choose? Justin picks social studies, psychology, astronomy, and a very specific European history class he completely wasted. Doug picks management 101 with a professor he truly despised and would absolutely challenge every single day, and seventh grade PE, where his coach regularly called him names that would end careers today. Plot twist: years later, that same coach applied for a job at Doug's brother's school. Doug's brother said no. Justice is real. Plus: a dump truck parked in front of a blind hill with "Trust in the Lord" written on the back, Jesus as a Marvel Rivals support player, and Meccha Chameleon — a $6 Steam prop hunt game where you paint yourself to blend into the scenery and it is immediately one of the best six dollars Doug has ever spent. Justin needs a PC. Doug has thoughts. The movie audio clip guessing game returns with quotes from Wall Street, The Big Short, and The Golden Child including one of the most specific movie pulls in the history of this show. This week's recommendations:

The countdown to 600 is on, and Sean and Todd go back to basics — just the two of them, the old formula, and a deep dive that turns into one of the most thoughtful conversations the show has had in a while.It starts with real life — sod cutters, Red River gumbo, sewer maintenance gone slightly wrong, and severe weather that hit Manitoba hard. Then Sean reveals something genuinely impressive: he pulled the entire back catalogue of the show into a spreadsheet, tagged every episode by segment type, and even built a working spin wheel inside Excel for the Wheel of Topics segment.From there the episode turns into a proper Eddie Van Halen tribute deep dive — comparing how various artists have honored Eddie since his passing, debating whether emulating a legend's style is more respectful than finding your own voice, and landing on a clear ranking by the end.This episode covers:Home improvement chaos — sod cutters, Red River gumbo, and building a shed in tight quartersSewer maintenance gone slightly sideways and an inventive defense system involving Saran Wrap and kitty litterSevere Manitoba weather — tornado warnings, hail, and flooding memories from years pastThe big data project — Sean catalogued nearly a decade of episodes into a spreadsheet, tagged every segment type, and built a custom spin wheel for the Wheel of Topics in ExcelA full tribute song breakdown comparing how different artists have honored Eddie Van Halen since his passing, including tracks inspired by his playing style and a tribute by his former Van Halen bandmate David Lee RothA real debate about authenticity in music — whether trying to emulate a legend's exact style serves them better than simply being inspired by them and creating something originalA side-by-side comparison of two very different tribute approaches, one channeling the spirit of the music and one trying to replicate technique directlyReflections on the Rush farewell concert footage, Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee, drummer Anika Nilles stepping into Neil Peart's role, and the emotional weight of watching a band's legacy carry forwardA recommendation of a deeply researched music biography that reframes how the band's early influences shaped their soundA preview of new original music coming for episode 600, including a tribute piece dedicated to longtime patron and podcaster Kevin BrownPass or Go and Versus segments return — Incorrect Headlines saved for the 600th episodePatron shoutouts and the full breakdown of all four Patreon tiers, including the new $75 tier from The Trailer Behind the Metal ShoppeFind us everywhere: @seangeekpodcastWebsite: seanmcginty.caSupport the show: patreon.com/seangeekpodcast
DryCleanerCast a podcast about Espionage, Terrorism & GeoPolitics
Chris and Matt dig into the fine print of the U.S.-Iran memorandum signed this week by President Trump in Versailles, separating what Tehran banks immediately — sanctions relief, frozen funds, an open Strait of Hormuz — from what's still contingent on a future nuclear settlement, and why claiming victory now looks premature. From there, a Foreign Affairs piece reframes the war's aftermath: rather than breaking the Islamic Republic, the campaign may have hardened it, elevating a younger, more nationalist generation around Mojtaba Khamenei whose pragmatism is tactical rather than moral — and inviting an uneasy comparison to Putin's Russia. They close on new reporting that the Pentagon has quietly raised Israel to a "critical" counterintelligence threat, working through allegations of bugged DIA offices and eavesdropped negotiations against the longer history of allies spying on allies.

Just 60 seconds. One phone call to your past self. What do you say? Doug's answer is immediate and unapologetic: buy Bitcoin. Justin agrees — and then they both go deeper than expected, landing on advice that's somehow funnier and more meaningful than any financial tip: walk more, stop shaving everything off, brace for the subscription apocalypse, and enjoy social media while you still can because it is about to get a lot worse. The conversation spirals into a genuine reflection on June 2016 — what life looked like before the darkest timeline arrived, before every business demanded an app download, and before two-factor authentication became a personality trait. Plus: Doug makes a passionate, sincere case for mobile ordering as the single greatest innovation of the last decade. He's not wrong. Then things get messier. Doug ripped a significant fart at grocery store self-checkout and had a moment of clarity about it. He also sat Natalie down to explain something important about her school's girl squad — specifically that every single one of them takes painful shits, and they are not better than her. Justin tells the story of Benny and the Birds — a harrowing account of his dog chasing a fledgling robin while an increasingly large coalition of robins, finches, a starling, and a squirrel formed a perimeter and launched a coordinated aerial assault. They have maintained that perimeter for four days. Justin cannot use his own backyard. Doug responds with his own bird story: Bruno has now claimed his third life, this time on a Michigan rental property, approximately 30 seconds after Doug told Natalie that nature is brutal and you simply have to accept it. Then: Doug takes Justin to Korean BBQ and hot pot for the first time. Justin immediately eats a large slice of raw pork belly with complete confidence. It tastes great. They use every second of their 90-minute window and already have a game plan for the next visit. Some food poisoning anxiety. No actual regrets. The movie audio clip guessing game returns. Justin picks three of seven clips and must identify the film from the quote alone. This round covers Aliens ("They mostly come at night. Mostly."), Donnie Brasco, and Lucky Number Slevin — and the one-legged man line lands exactly as hard as Doug hoped it would. This week's recommendations: Justin — Obsession (2025). Corey Barker made this horror film for $750K. It has since grossed over $250 million. A unique concept, edge-of-your-seat tension, and the kind of filmmaking that gets a 26-year-old handed the Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot without blinking. Go support it. Doug — The Wire (HBO). Five seasons. Rewatched it. Still one of the best shows ever made. Young Idris Elba, young Michael B. Jordan, and the most honest portrait of policing, crime, and politics ever put on television. A commitment worth making.

Are you blue? Do you know someone who is blue? Does blue describe the color of your world? If you answer yes to any of these questions, you probably should seek some professional help. But, you also should listen to this podcast, because we are cool. In reading this issue, I think we all came to the conclusion that stretching is the term we should use. Stretching the truth, stretching taffy, stretching reality, stretching the metaphor. You get what I am saying, right? If you have any idea what we are talking about, then you are ahead of us. Remember, we are not that smart, or bright, or sober. Some people question what we are doing and why. I am questioning what I am writing. In this book, there is chaos and fighting. There is confusion. There is also plot and development. And that is something that I could be talking about. What I can say is that Alex Power is fighting in one shattered panel, and that is why we are here. Is this upsetting you? Is this making you sad? Don't be sad. Don't get upset about us being obscure. Don't get down and depressed and sit in the dark. Don't be like Sharon You should be happy like Ben and Sue. You should be free, not being taken over by your evil psychotic alter ego.

The Cuy'val Dar were the one hundred trainers — seventy-five of them Mandalorians — handpicked by Jango Fett to forge the Republic's clone commandos in secret on Kamino. In this Star Wars Legends deep dive, Star Lores explores "those who no longer exist": Kal Skirata, Walon Vau, Mij Gilamar, Rav Bralor, and the mercenaries, bounty hunters, and assassins who shaped clone individuality, Mandalorian culture, and the elite soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic. From the Republic Commando saga and the Clone Wars to Kyrimorut, Death Watch, and the legacy that echoed into the Yuuzhan Vong War, we break down the men and women who built an army and vanished.
