Wednesday, June 10, 2026Josh is back in studio for day three with Brock, and the show kicks off with the trending thread: “In the U.S., what should you never do?” The answers range from practical advice to very American warnings: never get out of your car during a traffic stop unless told to, never start a fistfight because someone might be carrying, never stand too close in line, never show up unannounced without a text first, and definitely never ride in an ambulance unless you are ready for the bill.Josh shares the hilarious story of getting pulled over at 16 and asking the cop if he could just pay the ticket in cash so he would not have to tell his parents. Brock follows it up with his own Tesla traffic stop story, claiming he was not speeding because technically the car was driving itself.The show also gets into plenty of “What the Heck” stories, including a California road rage attack involving a ukulele, mice spotted inside Gordon Ramsay's restaurant, 10,000 bottles of bourbon stolen from a Philadelphia warehouse, dynamite found inside a woman's old freezer, and a bizarre Alaska Senate race where two Republicans named Dan Sullivan are accusing each other of confusing voters.Brock and Josh also talk about random facts, including the origin of the Jaws theme, ancient Romans having great teeth, Voltaire gaming the lottery, Samoa skipping an entire calendar day, and why the Earth's core is hotter than the surface of the sun. Josh crushes the 7 AM Challenge with a round of Breakfast Bingo, proving he may be better at radio trivia than softball.Later, the guys cover softball season, Madonna's new music, Netflix's upcoming live-action Scooby-Doo Origins, Hulk Hogan's official cause of death, Stevie Nicks' major medical donation, and some genuinely happy news about a baby coyote rescued from cactus spines, an endangered California condor returning to Oregon for the first time in over a century, and promising cancer vaccine research.The show also dives into everyday things that used to be affordable but now feel like luxuries, including houses, concert tickets, babysitters, movie tickets, cable TV, home repairs, red meat, and vet care. Brock and Josh also talk about dangerous AI teddy bears, a gas station screw scam, and a real estate listing for seven acres in Hell, Michigan, complete with an ice cream shop, wedding chapel, and souvenir store.The episode wraps with laughter as medicine, the legendary “Ticklish Reuben” laughing song, celebrity gossip, Long John Silver's, Guitar Hero nostalgia, lake days, and Josh officially surviving his third straight morning back on the radio.

Vai-aso o le Nga-gana Samoa, Samoa Language Week finishes this weekend. Pulea Ifopo, chairman of the Nelson Samoan Community spoke to John Campbell.

Samoa heeft het niet getroffen. Lig je totaal buiten het gezichtsveld van de gemiddelde atlaslezer, deel je ook nog je naam met een overzees territorium van het machtigste land ter wereld. Hoeveel Samoanen zouden er in de VS keer op keer moeten uitleggen dat zij een onafhankelijk land zijn? En, for the record, dat hun Amerikaans-Samoaanse broeders gewoon Amerikaanse staatsburgers zijn? Andersom: zou de rest van de wereld weten dat Amerikaans-Samoa bestaat? Als ze al weten dat het land Samoa bestaat? En waar het dan ligt ten opzichte van al die andere Oceanische eilandstaatjes? Die trouwens een stuk kleiner zijn dan het machtige Samoa? Dus, onderschat Samoa niet, mensen.

What started as a great weekend at the drag strip quickly turned into a moment no racer ever wants to experience. Longtime Volkswagen enthusiast and drag racer Tony Moreci joins us to share the story behind the crash that damaged his iconic 1954 Ragtop Beetle during a recent racing event. Tony has spent decades behind the wheel of this legendary Oval-window Beetle, campaigning it at tracks across the country and earning respect throughout the vintage Volkswagen drag racing community. In this episode, we break down exactly what happened on race day, the sequence of events leading up to the accident, and the emotions that follow when years of hard work and history are suddenly put at risk in a matter of seconds. Beyond the crash itself, we take a look into the history of Tony's '54 Ragtop—its evolution from a classic street car into a well-known drag racing machine—and the memories attached to a car that has become part of his identity. We also reflect on our longtime friendship, the experiences we've shared over the years, and our connection through the legendary DBK Car Club. This conversation isn't just about bent sheet metal and damaged parts. It's about perseverance, friendship, the risks that come with motorsports, and the passion that keeps racers coming back to the starting line. Whether you're a Volkswagen drag racing fan, a vintage VW enthusiast, or simply appreciate the stories behind the people and cars that shape our hobby, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Small islands generally did far better during the pandemic than bigger (and often richer) countries with more complex health systems. In this episode, Emily and Matt ask: what have been the longer-term effects of Covid-19 more than five years on? Have lessons have been learned for the next shock? Where can we see both improvements and things to worry about in health provision and outcomes? We welcome two global public health experts for our “Explainer”. Sophie Harman tells us why we should worry about not only the decline of multilateral health governance, but also what might be replacing it. Simon Rushton talks us through some of the longer-term effects of the pandemic on the Global South. Then, in the Big Picture, we are joined by Roannie Ng Shiu from Samoa and Aviane Auguste from St Lucia to learn why SIDS did relatively so well in the pandemic but why more prosaic health challenges – from measles to dengue and non-communicable diseases like diabetes – are of greater immediate concern. Finally, in no stupid questions, Matt and Emily ask whether small size and islandness are actually secret weapons in helping SIDS to achieve better health outcomes. LISTENER SURVEY: To help us make Small Islands, Big Picture even better, we've put together a short audience survey and would love your input.

Let me know what you think of this episode? Two weeks after moving overseas for volunteer work, Ian Riley and his wife are hit by a massive cyclone that turns daily life into a test of survival: horizontal rain blowing through the house, roads washed out, no pumped water, no working banks, and a long recovery where reliable power can take months. We talk through what it feels like to teach and serve in the aftermath when the adrenaline fades and the real challenge becomes endurance, uncertainty, and the decision to stay when others leave.Ian also takes us inside the unique communication reality of Samoa in the early 1990s. With no internet, limited phones, and little local reporting, news becomes word of mouth and rumor. Yet the same community networks can be remarkably effective, with handwritten notes carried village to village and responses returning the next morning. That contrast sparks a bigger conversation about how we handle incomplete information, culture shock, and the mental strain of not knowing what happens next.From there, we follow the thread of how chaos can shape a life. Ian shares why he wrote Encounter: A Journey Into Chaos, Culture And Compassion in present tense, designed to pull you into the moment and let you decide what you would do. He connects lessons learned in crisis to later work as an engineer and entrepreneur, including building world-first virtual cattle fencing, raising capital, scaling a startup, and eventually selling the company. If you care about faith under pressure, resilience after disaster, cross cultural volunteering, and finding purpose in uncertainty, you'll find a lot to sit with here.

Survivor AU: Redemption Simon Mee Deep Dive Australian Survivor: Redemption is back with host Mike Bloom diving deep into the strategy, chaos, and tough decisions that shaped this season. Special guest Simon Mee joins for a recap and behind-the-scenes look at his third (and final) run on the beaches of Samoa. From nail-biting Tribal Councils to surprise flips and social tightropes, Redemption's blend of returnees and newbies brings unpredictable drama at every turn. Simon breaks down how he navigates early-game perceptions, intentionally leans into the “bad player” narrative to lower his threat level, and forges connections among the Bounty tribe. He shares his mentality around building alliances, highlighting his work with Harry, Paula, Lottie, and more. Camp life scenes come alive as Simon describes leading by example, dedicating himself to daily chores, and avoiding strategy talk around the well, all to build trust and appear unthreatening. Fuse-laden moments include the Paula blindside that split the early alliance, Asha's dramatic boot after a slow-build strategic campaign, and the shifting dynamics post-merge as anti-returnee sentiment builds. Simon reveals the emotional and strategic calculations behind saving (and sometimes betraying) allies, outlasting swaps, orchestrating the “beauty and the beast” counter-narrative, and the wild tribal moment giving an immunity necklace to save Rich. The final phase captures Simon's efforts to escape the chopping block, wrangle fractured alliances, and pull off a potential stalemate at Rocks. Simon discusses the deliberate “house arrest” and campwork strategy to minimize his threat factor early on. Insight into the fracturing of Simon's original alliances, with key reads on Paula, Harry, and Lottie. Behind the curtain on the fire-making challenge and a unique play with immunity that shakes up both tribes. The plan and fallout from flipping Jackson as a swing vote, including emotional scenes at Tribal Council. Reflections on post-merge chaos as numbers dwindle and the Club Kaput underdogs make noise. Just how far can trust, a few clever moves, and relentless hustle carry a returnee in a game teetering between “cohesion” and cutthroat blindsides? Who truly flips the script in the tribal crossfire? Listen for the full Survivor analysis—from idols to final jury fireworks, alliance drama, near-rock draws, and the legacy left behind by Simon Mee—on this episode of Australian Survivor: Redemption!

Survivor AU: Redemption Mark Warnock Deep Dive Today, Mike Bloom dives deep with contestant, Mark Warnock, about his time on Australian Survivor: Redemption. Mark Warnock brings all the behind-the-scenes drama, starting with the shock of being the last-minute returnee, leading to one of the wildest Tribal Councils and strategy scrambles of the season. Whether it's wearing a bold “Caleb, you are not beating the allegations” shirt or orchestrating live tribals, Mark pulls back the curtain on the chaos of Redemption Beach and what it's really like to run the show—until the show runs you. Mark shares how he was contacted at the very last moment to join the “Redemption” season, returned to Samoa with a cutthroat mindset, and navigated shifting alliances, idol finds, and orchestrated blindsides. He breaks down his approaches in connecting early with competitors like Faith and Brooke, forming “head office” alliances, and executing daring live votes—including pulling people out of the voting lines to flip the result in front of the tribe. Hear candid behind-the-scenes takes on the infamous Kat vote switch, the fallout from early game power moves, and the rivalry with Johnson, as well as what it's like being targeted as “the boss” by new players. Key moments and gameplay: Mark reveals the wild scramble to join the season, how family and work played into his late decision, and what inspired him to play harder the second time. A breakdown of the live tribal that flipped the first vote from Johnson to Kat, with Mark explaining the risks, social reads, and fallout back at camp. How “head office” dynamics with Faith and Keeley controlled strategy, but also sowed the seeds for explosive betrayals at swap and beyond. Hilarious moments from camp life, including alliance-building over band tattoos and shelter-building grudges, as well as a “Cornship Cartel” underwater alliance. Deep look into tribal council strategy: creating fake idols, pivoting targets live, and the struggle to balance being both shield and target. What will happen when playing a “boss” game puts all eyes—and votes—on you? Can you truly trust your number one ally, and is it ever smart to show your idol at Tribal? Tune in to catch every twist, tribe flip, and dramatic confessional as Redemption leaves nothing off the table. Listen now for exclusive insights into idol reads, game-changing alliance flips, and the biggest blindsides of Australian Survivor: Redemption!

Kalm with Kava | Exploring Natural Ways to Calm Anxiety & Manage Stresswith Morgan SmithIn today's fast-paced world, many people are searching for natural, plant-based ways to calm anxiety and manage daily stress. In this episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, I sit down with Morgan Smith, a kava enthusiast, wellness entrepreneur, and CEO of Monsoon Beverages, as well as the operator of Pu‘īwa Hawaiian Farms.Morgan introduces us to kava, a traditional Pacific Island beverage with a long and respected history. For centuries, kava has been grown and consumed throughout islands such as Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa. Across these cultures, kava has symbolized respect and connection and has been used in social gatherings, spiritual ceremonies, and traditional healing practices.We explore how kava is now gaining attention in Western wellness circles for its calming and anxiolytic properties. Morgan explains that kava's effects come from its active compounds, kavalactones, which are concentrated in the root of the plant. These compounds interact with the brain's limbic system—particularly the amygdala, which plays a key role in emotional regulation. For many people, this interaction creates a sense of both mental and physical relaxation.Morgan describes kava as the opposite of coffee—an “anti-coffee,” if you will. While coffee is often used to energize and stimulate, kava is typically enjoyed in the evening to help the body unwind and the mind slow down. It doesn't produce intoxication like alcohol; instead, Morgan compares it to a strong chamomile tea with noticeable calming effects.Since I haven't personally tried kava, Morgan also walks us through what someone can expect when trying it for the first time. He shares that kava has a naturally bitter taste (definitely not sweet!) and may cause a mild tingling or numbing sensation in the mouth. Traditionally, kava is served in several small portions—often called “shells,” named after the coconut shells originally used to drink it.While kava may not be for everyone, this conversation opens the door to understanding natural herbal options that support relaxation, stress relief, and emotional well-being.

People have traveled far across the oceans in search of greener pastures. Polynesians journeyed thousands of miles, hopping from island to island as they expanded eastward. And one period of expansion might have been triggered by big changes in the Pacific Ocean. That period began about a thousand years ago. People were well entrenched in Western Polynesia—islands such as Tonga and Samoa. But they quickly turned up in Eastern Polynesia—Tahiti and surrounding islands—journeys of up to 1500 miles or longer across open ocean. A recent study looked at climate conditions across Polynesia at the time. Researchers gathered deep sediments from several locations. They used sophisticated lab techniques to analyze the fat in leaves preserved in the soil. That revealed how rainy the climate was at the time the plants were growing. The scientists combined that with other climate information, and ran it all through models of the climate at the time. They found that the rain began to dry up in Western Polynesia. But it got heavier in Eastern Polynesia. That probably was the result of a change in the South Pacific Convergence Zone—a wide region that produces heavy rains during the summer. Changes in ocean temperatures pushed the zone eastward. The change also would have made the winds more favorable for moving eastward. So the people of Western Polynesia could have headed out—looking for greener pastures far across the Pacific. The post Pacific Migration appeared first on Marine Science Institute.

Earl Sweatshirt är en av det senaste decenniets främsta tillverkare av textmässigt dunkel lofihiphop. En stil som både gett honom en lojal beundrarskara och stött bort publik som hyllade honom när han var en del av Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Earl har gått från tanklös tonårsrappare till introspektiv och visionär artist med långa utdragna verser, en refränglöshet som slingrar sig kring den vanställda takten, och ett experimentellt ljud som kollapsar i offbeatmeditationer.Det handlar om en märklig resa för både Sweatshirt och hans fans. Fans som ropade ”Free EARL” efter att han 16 år gammal skickats iväg till ett internat för problemungdomar på Samoa i Polynesien i södra Stilla Havet. Det första halvåret visste ingen vart han tagit vägen. Myten om rapmessias som abrupt ryckets bort när karriären höll på att explodera växte. Som om Nas plötsligt försvunnit efter ”snuffin Jesus”-raderna. Earl Sweatshirt blev stjärna i sin frånvaro, och fick lära sig att leva med konsekvenserna.I avsnittet möter Mats Nileskär även Tyler the Creator, Syd Bennett och The Heatmakerz.

In this welcome back episode, Laki and Gen catch up on a big year of travel, learning, and growth, both personally and for The Moanan. From the Solomon Islands, Palau, Fiji, Samoa, and Australia, to WIPCE here in Tāmaki Makaurau, they reflect on what being on the ground across the region actually taught them — including hard lessons about knowledge protocols, indigenous hierarchy, and the gap between knowing the right things and doing them the right way.They also dig into three big ideas that have come to define why The Moanan exists: historical amnesia (the forgetting of what colonisation actually did), geographic dysmorphia (New Zealand and Australia forgetting they are Oceania), and epistemological arrogance (the assumption that Western knowledge is always the superior framework).Looking ahead, there's a lot happening including a call to our community to share  stories as The Moanan approaches its third birthday.If you've been with us from the start — welcome home.

In Episode 236 of the Pu'u Muay Thai Podcast, Jonathan Puu sits down virtually in the Black Room at Teep Studios in Scottsdale, Arizona with his cousin Deutsch Pu'u — a former professional fighter with a background in boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA, and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.Deutsch shares his journey growing up in American Samoa, where structured martial arts training was limited, and how he developed through boxing before competing professionally across multiple combat sports — including K-1 kickboxing and Muay Thai.This episode goes beyond fighting and dives into something bigger: building a future pipeline for combat sports in Samoa.In this episode, they discuss: Growing up in American Samoa and learning to fight without formal structure  Transitioning from boxing into kickboxing, MMA, and Muay Thai  Fighting in K-1 and adapting without a traditional Muay Thai background  Training at Fight Capital in Las Vegas with Jason Andrada  How Muay Thai changed his approach to striking (elbows, knees, clinch)  The importance of structure, coaching, and proper education in martial arts  Building a pipeline to develop fighters from Samoa and bring them into Muay Thai  Creating opportunities for the next generation through coaching and systems Deutsch also shares his vision for introducing structured Muay Thai and combat sports programs in American Samoa — with the goal of developing world-class fighters from the island and creating long-term opportunities through proper coaching and mentorship.This episode is about more than fighting — it's about family, legacy, and building something that lasts for the next generation.Support the showLeave a message or text us 24/7/365!+1-805-456-3316

It's all too easy, when reading history, to see the world through the eyes of the coloniser rather than the colonised. The mandate system—the League of Nations framework through which Britain and France claimed legitimacy for their post-war territorial grabs—is often presented as a progressive innovation: a move from old-fashioned colonialism to enlightened trusteeship. But what did it look like from the perspective of those who suddenly found themselves under new rulers?Drawing on Susan Pedersen's extraordinary book *The Guardians*, we explore how the mandate system was intended to serve multiple, often contradictory purposes. For the victorious imperial powers, it was a tool to legitimate the territorial settlement agreed at Paris in 1919. For internationalists and League officials, it was a mechanism for spreading norms about trusteeship and the open door. For the people of Cameroon, Togo, Samoa, South West Africa, and the Arab provinces of the former Ottoman Empire, it was something simpler: a shameless betrayal of the promises of self-determination made when the Allies had their backs to the wall.We examine the petition process that emerged despite the explicit intentions of the mandate's architects. Neither the Covenant nor the mandate texts made any provision for petitioning; when the Milner Commission drafted the texts in 1919, all members save the American George Louis Beer agreed that allowing inhabitants to appeal to an international body would make "all administration impossible." Yet a petition process arose anyway—the achievement of thousands of men and women who, often at considerable risk, raised their voices against the new dispensation.We trace the path of those petitions: from West Africa, where Douala elites protested the transfer of their territories from British to French control; to Geneva, where William Rappard of the League Secretariat found himself sympathising with exiled Arab nationalists; to the corridors of power where Sir Eric Drummond, the League's Secretary-General, did everything possible to suppress these inconvenient voices.And we meet the figures who made the system work despite itself: J.H. Harris of the Anti-Slavery Society, who used his platform in *The Times* and *The Manchester Guardian* to amplify African grievances; Ormsby Gore, who argued that if a resident of a British colony could appeal to the Privy Council, surely an inhabitant of a mandated territory should be able to appeal to the League; and Rappard, who quietly circumvented his obstructive chief to raise the matter of petitions at the Permanent Mandates Commission's very first session.The story is one of imperial hubris, international idealism, and the unplanned emergence of a mechanism through which colonised peoples learned to claim that they too were nations deserving to be heard. It is also a story that challenges our conventional understanding of when and how the League of Nations failed.Topics covered:- The mandate system as imperial legitimation- Wilsonian internationalism vs. Anglo-French imperialism- The promise of self-determination and its betrayal- The petition process and its unplanned origins- West African resistance to partition- The Syrio-Palestinian Congress and Arab nationalist mobilisation- William Rappard and the conscience of the League- Sir Eric Drummond's obstructionism- The Permanent Mandates Commission's first session- Rethinking the failure of the League of Nations from a colonised perspective---Susan Pedersen's The Guardians is the best book on the mandate system I have ever read—a work of extraordinary scholarship that recovers the voices of those too often silenced in the archives.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us.

Dan shares tales of two islands this week. We'll head to the remote Pacific Samoan island of Ofu, where there's a stretch of beach so feared that many locals refuse to walk it after dark. A place believed to be a gathering ground for spirits who've never crossed over. A place where ghosts can do more than just scare you. Next, we'll head to the other side of the world to the Azores.  High above a volcanic crater on São Miguel, an abandoned luxury hotel looms out of the fog  - a five-star dream that collapsed almost as soon as it opened. Visitors today report footsteps in empty hallways, voices in stairwells, and the unmistakable feeling of being watched by something that never left. A little less exotic but equally as creepy, Lynze brings us a tale from Spokane. The story of an entity that has attached itself to a someone and still lingers close today. To wrap up, we go to a midwest county fair where two young friends get more than they bargained for at the fun house. Bad Magic Monthly Donation: This month, we are donating to the HALO Dental Network.
