Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Meet Joshua Rodriguez, founder of the Kink Collective and creator of Connection Simplified. In this episode Joshua gets to the real foundation underneath kink, BDSM, and leather culture: vulnerability, trust, and being truly seen. Joshua shares the philosophy of "people before kink," born from his own experience of feeling objectified for his skills rather than valued as a whole person, and walks Leah and Willow through his structured approach to building deep connection with a total stranger before negotiating any scene play. Joshua breaks down how leaving your armor at the door, practicing radical presence, and learning body mapping and negotiation create the emotional safety that real kink and BDSM play require. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS♦️Kink is permission, not performance: Joshua's "people before kink" philosophy puts the whole human being first, before any label, role, or technique.♦️Connection Simplified is a structured, three hour process that builds trust between strangers through shared vulnerability, accountability questions, and mirrored self disclosure.♦️BDSM, kink, and leather are three distinct things: kink is the action, BDSM is the relationship framework, and leather is the community and value structure that supports it.♦️Body mapping teaches partners to negotiate touch and discover where they like, dislike, and can't feel sensation, an essential safety skill before deeper play.♦️Real transformation happens when people stop searching for safety "out there" and learn to hold that safety within themselves first.♦️Confirmation bias makes us reject people on sight; softening that reflex, as Leah and Willow discuss, opens the door to some of the most meaningful connections available.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/sexreimagined-com/bdsm-trust-building The Couples Sacred Spot Retreat | Santa Barbara, Nov 6-8 We are bringing our most intimate couples workshop to California.

What if the objection you're trying to handle isn't actually an objection at all?In this episode of Sales with ASLAN, Tom Stanfill and Tab Norris break down the difference between a real objection and a false objection, and why treating them the same can create even more buyer resistance.A real objection means the buyer is engaged and wants an answer. A false objection is often something else entirely: a way to avoid the sales conversation, reduce pressure, or create distance from a seller they don't yet trust.Tom and Tab unpack common false objections like:“Just send me some information.”“We already work with someone.”“You should talk to someone else on my team.”“Now isn't a good time.”They also explain ASLAN's Other-Centered® approach to handling these moments: agree, Drop the Rope®, reduce pressure, and give the buyer a real reason to stay in the conversation.You'll also hear practical examples of how sellers can respond without becoming passive or pushy, why buyer receptivity matters more than the perfect rebuttal, and why this is one area of selling where having a practiced response can actually help.Tom also shares the ADAPT framework from his book UnReceptive, including how sellers can prepare for the most common false objections before they happen.If you work in B2B sales, sales leadership, prospecting, sales enablement, or sales training, this episode will help you recognize when an objection is really resistance to the conversation itself, and what to do next.Want to learn more about all ASLAN has to offer?

Send us Fan MailMoose hunting can be dead quiet one second, then feel like a bulldozer is coming through the timber the next. We're swapping moose camp stories with Brad, Denver, Lane, Dalton, and Darren, and it turns into a surprisingly practical breakdown of what actually matters on a moose hunt: patience, preparation, and making smart choices when things happen fast. We talk about moose tags and draw odds, the five-day season pressure, and why you can't count on “next year.” Then we get honest about bowhunting moose where most people still reach for a rifle. What's a realistic archery range in thick country? How picky should you be on day one versus day five? And what do you do when a bull changes demeanor the moment you start raking and grunting? Along the way, we dig into moose calling tactics like starting with soft cow calls, matching a bull's energy, and learning how cows, calves, and competing bulls can blow up a setup. We also spend time on the part nobody posts online: recovery and meat care. Rope, winches, roll-up game sleds, stump problems, warm afternoons, flies, ice bottles, and the simple rule that you need an extraction plan before you ever shoot. If you like hunting stories with real lessons, this one hits. Subscribe, share it with your hunting buddy, and leave a review, then tell us what moose hunting mistake taught you the biggest lesson.Check us out on Facebook Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.

Good evening. Welcome to Dial P for Podcast, Patrick Ripoll's year-long chronological voyage through the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Every month Patrick will be watching four Hitchcock features and talking about them here, from The Pleasure Garden to Family Plot, all across the year of 2026, examining the life and work of England's most famous cinema pervert.On this month's installment we see Hitchcock take flight with his own production company, his own projects, his own risks and bold formal gambits that no one else would ever be fool enough to try. In Rope (1948) Hitchcock embraces long takes, treacherous gays and color film, with Under Capricorn (1949) Hitchcock once again tries his hand at period costume drama and once again is humbled, Stage Fright (1950) finds Hitchcock returning to familiar moves and finding unexpected success, and finally Strangers on a Train (1951) sets a new path forward for Hitch, with a new trusted cinematographer and a new embrace of a dark bitter misanthropy that he makes look oh so good.All that and an impression of Jimmy Stewart as George Carlin!

This week, Elle and Vee bring Aphrodite back for a gloriously unhinged round of Whoreible Life: Fuck, Marry, Kill that spirals into stories about her first five-person orgy, breath play, public sex, rope bondage, piss play, Sybian fantasies, and one truly unforgettable yoni egg disaster. What starts as a kink card game becomes a conversation about discovering turn-ons you never expected, the thrill of almost getting caught, and why there really might be a home for every desire. Then things unexpectedly go deep as the girls unpack marriage, long-term love, complacency, and what it means to keep choosing someone while leaving room for both of you to evolve. Equal parts chaotic, kinky, hilarious, and vulnerable, this is peak Girls Gone Deep.Round 1 Whoreible Life Cardstaste yourselfbe in an orgy of 8+ peopleteacher/student role playAphrodite's back, and Fuck Marry Kill immediately gets unhinged.

In September 1900, ten nuns and ninety-three children were trapped inside an orphanage on the exposed western edge of Galveston Island as a Category 4 hurricane swallowed the city. With one dormitory already gone and the Gulf rising through the remaining building, the Sisters made a decision. They cut down the clotheslines, tied groups of children to themselves, and waited for the water. When the orphanage collapsed, ninety children and all ten Sisters died. Days later, recovery crews found them scattered along the coast—still tied together. The knots had held. Tonight, we tell the story of St. Mary's Orphan Asylum, the three boys who somehow survived, and a decision made in the final minutes before the deadliest natural disaster in American history destroyed almost everything around them.

What happens when you add one extra rule to a rope scene? In this episode, Fox and Mya discuss a type of rope game they call stipulations: additional restrictions or conditions that change how a scene works. A top might be forbidden from using their left hand, for example, or the partners might agree on another rule that disrupts their usual way of tying. The fun comes from discovering what that restriction changes. A familiar tie may suddenly require more communication. The top may need to abandon their usual sequence and improvise, while the bottom may become more actively involved through balance, movement, problem-solving or verbal guidance. Fox and Mya explore: • Different kinds of stipulations you could add to a rope scene—including one particularly spicy option • How restrictions can encourage creativity, communication and collaboration • The unexpected ways a familiar tie can change • How stipulations may alter the bottom's role in the scene • Risks and safety considerations to think about before beginning • When a restriction should be changed or abandoned • The difference between collaborative and competitive rope games • How to keep competition playful without allowing it to override consent or safety Stipulations can turn even simple rope into an experiment, a puzzle or a shared challenge. The point is not necessarily to succeed perfectly, but to enjoy finding out what happens when your usual options are taken away.

Getting sober is a huge step, but it doesn't automatically fix everything that happened in the relationship while the addiction was active. The alcohol or drugs may be gone, but resentment, hurt, mistrust, and feelings of unfairness can stick around. In this episode, we're talking about the resentment that nobody really talks about in recovery. The person in recovery may be wondering, “I changed, so why am I still being treated like the problem?” while their partner or family is thinking, “After everything we went through, how are you angry at me?” We'll look at the emotional ledger both sides may still be carrying and why something seemingly small, like a wine glass, a late arrival, a question, or even a comment, can trigger such a big reaction. Sometimes the argument happening today isn't actually about today at all. We'll also break down the difference between a craving trigger and triggers connected to resentment, trust, threat, or identity, and why couples can get stuck trying to prove whose version of the past is right. The goal isn't to pretend the past didn't happen. It's to understand what these reactions actually mean so the relationship can stop revolving around who each person was during the addiction.

It's hard to go wrong with an Alfred Hitchcock film as the subject of your movie conversation, and this week's episode proves that. Howard Casner, Matt Simpson, and Dave Anderson tie themselves into knots trying to explain the attraction of this film. Is it the Approach that Hitchcock took in filming the movie? Maybe it is the creepy philosophy the antagonists use to justify their depravity. We had a big difference of opinion on whether the performances might account for the merits of the film, did one actor reveal the frays in the film?. We go down a few rabbit holes in search of movies that use similar approaches and of course we talk about a few other movies made by the actors and director. It's a compelling conversation, there is subtext and drama a plenty.

Louisiana's built on water. Swamps, bayous, a river running straight through the middle of it, and ground so soft you can't even bury people in it you gotta stack 'em above. Which maybe explains a lot. Because down there, nothing stays down. Bodies, evidence, whole cases sooner or later it all floats back up. Problem is, by the time it does, whoever put it there is long gone.

Episode 61 opens with a somber update on the Broad Peak avalanche in Pakistan that killed all ten climbers, including members of Nims Purja's team, on their July 30th summit push.Following the update, Sam and Adrian dig into the episode's real focus: rope fixing, the process that makes the world's biggest mountains climbable.Adrian breaks down the difference between alpine style — climbing a mountain in one unsupported push — and siege style, where teams fix rope from camp to camp so climbers can self-belay on the way up and move quickly on the way down. The practice exploded in scale after the 1996 Everest tragedy, when climbers caught in a whiteout couldn't find their way back to tents just yards away; today, nearly the entire route on Everest, and increasingly all 14 eight-thousanders, is strung with fixed line.He traces how the work gets organized — from the old days of rival companies pooling gear and Sherpa labor, or tossing cash into a pot at Base Camp, to today's more formal systems: China's government-run team on Everest's north side, Nepal's Expedition Operators Association contracting the job out to local companies, and this season's milestone in Pakistan, where an all-Pakistani crew led by Mirzer Ali fixed a new line up Broad Peak's headwall — the first time a major Karakoram peak has been rope-fixed entirely by Pakistani high-altitude workers.Adrian shares his own path into the work, from tunneling through a collapsing cornice on Ama Dablam in the early 2000s to a 2010 rope-fixing day on Everest so calm and untracked he calls it the highlight of his life. He's candid about the risks too: anchors that melt or rip out, old abandoned ropes that fail under body weight, and the 2010 K2 tragedy that killed nine climbers after a serac collapse wiped out the fixed line and left survivors without the gear or skills to downclimb. His takeaway: fixed lines are an extraordinary safety tool, but never one to fully rely on without a backup plan.Follow our podcast on Instagram @duffelshufflepodcast where you can learn more about us and our guests.

How reliable is your judgement in rope? Cognitive biases are mental shortcuts that help us process information quickly, but they can also lead to predictable errors in how we interpret situations and make decisions. In this episode, Fox and Mya explore how these biases can affect our rope practice, relationships, learning and assessment of risk. They discuss: • Anchoring bias and how first impressions can shape everything that follows • Overconfidence bias and its relationship with the Dunning–Kruger effect • Hindsight bias and the temptation to believe an outcome was obvious all along • The sunk cost fallacy and why previous investment can make it difficult to stop • Outcome bias and the danger of judging a decision only by how it turned out • Self-serving bias and how we explain our successes and failures • Why simply recognizing that these biases exist can help • Situations in which you may not want to rely entirely on your own judgement • A framework for considering whether the causes of an outcome are internal or external, stable or changeable, and within or outside your control Whether you are a top, bottom, switch, educator or organizer, understanding the limits of your own thinking can help you make more deliberate decisions and respond to mistakes with greater clarity.

In Truth #12 of ASLAN's 30 Truths for 30 Years series, Tom Stanfill and Tab Norris unpack one of ASLAN's most practical and counterintuitive principles: Drop the Rope®When a customer, colleague, or family member becomes resistant, our instinct is often to push harder, defend our position, and prove why we are right. But the more pressure people feel, the more likely they are to pull back.Tom and Tab share real examples from sales, parenting, and leadership to show why control is an illusion, how pressure shuts down receptivity, and why influence often begins when we give people the freedom to choose.In this episode, you will learn:Why arguments end influenceHow to reduce pressure without giving upWhat it means to put all options on the tableHow to stay in the conversation without becoming controllingWhy “Drop the Rope” is not passive sellingHow this principle can improve sales conversations, coaching, leadership, and personal relationshipsThe goal is not to walk away. It is to release the tension, stay engaged, and create the openness needed for a productive conversation. https://tinyurl.com/3wr6w555
Les Bechdel is a river runner, an outfitter, an author of the first comprehensive book on modern river rescue techniques, a kayaker, a husband, a catarafter, a father, a river ranger, a grandfather, an instructor, and a soldier. In the 1980s, river rescue became a more organized and developed concept and practice, and Les Bechdel was at the center of that movement. In 1985, the first edition of the book "RIVER RESCUE" was published with Les and Slim Ray as the authors. The book is now in its 4th edition. Les was selling kayaks during the transition from fiberglass to plastic. Eventually, he moved to Idaho from North Carolina with his family and started a river outfitting company in the Salmon River system that is still thriving today. Beyond all of that, Les is a kind and open man who tells stories of a life shaped by rivers and family.

“It would be sad if local models were not an option and there were only proprietary models. It's good to have alternatives. Competition is good for business.”— Sebastian Raschka, on open-weight AIKimi K3's weights landed about an hour before Hugo Bowne-Anderson and Sebastian Raschka went live. Sebastian had already updated his architecture diagram. That speed captures his approach to the current model wave: wait until the weights exist, run the model in the harness where it will actually work, then inspect the architecture closely enough to understand what changed.The conversation arrived during a larger fight over who supplies the models underneath global software. Three days earlier, twenty-five companies including NVIDIA, Meta, Microsoft, Hugging Face, and IBM published Open Weights and American AI Leadership. Their argument closely matches Sebastian's practical case for local models: open weights create competition, reduce dependence on a single provider, and let organizations choose a model at the right capability and cost.Update: Four days after we recorded, DeepSeek released V4 Flash 0731, a re-post-trained API model for agentic coding. Developers are already reporting that it can debug multi-project codebases and stay on task across very long contexts.You can find the full episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
Caitlin Clark is the target of a WNBA mind game — and Jason Whitlock is calling it out. After Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton cursed out two teenage Indiana Fever fans for supporting Sophie Cunningham, the league suspended her and still sided with her.

Marcos Mangani has been practising rope bondage for more than seven years. During that time, he has developed a conscious, quiet approach to rope and a distinctive style of face bondage. By creating spaces in which people can trust and surrender, he invites them to explore their bodies, emotions and intentions in new ways. Marcos has taught in queer and rope spaces including Tension in Montreal, Temple in New York, Iridescent Studio in Amsterdam and Anatomie in London. He currently offers regular classes and private sessions at his studio, KOR Berlin. In this episode, Marcos discusses: • Why he loves rope and the depth of what it has helped him discover about himself • How his natural sensitivity supports his work as a rope top, particularly when creating safety and comfort for clients • The relationship between his background in visual art and his rope practice • Balancing rope with his art, avoiding burnout and seeking inspiration beyond the rope community • How- and why - he turns people into “human gongs” • Identity, microbondage and the origins of his interest in face rope • Why a photograph cannot show the skill required to create face bondage safely • The qualities that may make face rope suitable - or unsuitable - for particular bottoms and tops • Risks and safety considerations when working with the face • Practical advice for bottoms who are curious about trying face rope • The unexpected comparison bottoms often make after experiencing his face rope • His favourite face-rope creation: an intricate design resembling a horse

Riley Webb has spent the last two years rewriting the tie-down roping record book. Instead of asking the world No. 1 to explain himself again, we called one of the sharpest students of the game to do it for us.This week on The Tie-Down Breakdown, eight-time NFR qualifier, million-dollar cowboy and horseman Justin Maass joins the show to break down exactly what separates Riley from the field. Maass points to the things most fans never notice: the way Webb reads the barrier better than anyone he's ever watched, the move he makes to bring the calf's hip to his right leg so the flank happens faster than the competition, and his ability to run wide open on every calf without ever getting his horse in trouble.From there, Maass digs into the bigger picture—the rise of South Louisiana as one of calf roping's hotbeds and the coaching that's fueled it, where Webb stacks up against the legends Maass grew up watching, from Dean Oliver to Fred Whitfield, Cody Ohl and Caleb Smidt, and just how high the ceiling really is for an athlete this humble, this talented and this hard to beat.About Roping.comGet unlimited access to roping.com‘s comprehensive tie-down, breakaway, and team roping video library and learn from World Champions Caleb Smidt and Shad Mayfield as well as top trainers Logan Harkey and Justin Maass. Rope with legendary breakaway ropers like Lari Dee Guy, Hope Thompson, and 2024 NFBR World Champion Kelsie Domer. Plus, binge hundreds of hours of live and archived ropings including the Cinch Timed Event Championship, The Patriot Events, and more.
