Podcasts about Santa Claus

This conversation I have with my friend Ashley Romney started with a simple question about her journey with God, and somewhere in the middle of it she said something that caught me off guard... I had to stop and just sit with it. Ashley is a coach for young women, helping them move through shame and into the truth of who they are as loved children of God, and she was a client of mine before this. We get into what it actually looks like to stop earning your worth and start receiving it.Ashley Romney is a coach for young women who walks them through shame and the things that block us from living into our identity as loved beings. You can connect with her at https://ashleyromney.com/Here's what we explore:▪️What changes when you stop seeing God as a "Santa Claus god" who's keeping a list▪️The five-year relationship Ashley stayed in trying to save someone, and what finally helped her take the leap▪️How she went from receiving everything through other people to hearing God for herself▪️"Love is all that exists" and what it does to your fear when you actually believe it▪️The porcupine and the puppy dog... a picture of what it looks like to learn to receive love▪️Why she competed in nine pageants, never won the crown, and how God showed her she was "secret Miss Murray" all along▪️Why your worth was never actually in questionChapters:00:00 Meeting Ashley and Why This Conversation Stayed With Me01:31 The "Santa Claus God" and Trying to Earn Worth06:41 Building Faith Back and Learning to Hear God for Herself11:40 When "Love Is All That Exists" Started to Change Everything17:23 The Porcupine and the Puppy Dog: Learning to Receive Love20:17 Nine Pageants, No Crown, and Being "Secret Miss Murray"33:21 Seeing God as a Partner Who Has Faith in YouIf something in this conversation stirred something in you, I'd love for you to just sit with it.

(7) Bob Zimmerman describes how the mission's return depended on a high-stakes Trans-Earth Injection burn, after which Jim Lovell famously radioed that "there is a Santa Claus." Zimmerman describes a navigation crisis where Lovellaccidentally wiped the computer's orientation data, forcing him to use a sextant and stars—ancient naval tools—to manually realign the ship. The guest marvels at the "double skip" re-entry, where the capsule bounced off the atmosphere at 25,000 miles per hour to slow down. Despite turning upside down in the Pacific, the crew returned safely, fulfilling a mission with odds NASA originally pegged at only 50/50.1959

What's the news today? MAGA, baby. Reporting on MAGA wins right now is like being a Phoenix weatherman. “Tomorrow's forecast? Sunny, 112 degrees, Democrats spontaneously combusting by noon.” There's no suspense anymore. Even the panic has become routine. We are winning all over the place. Somebody needs to create a MAGA Tracker. Like NORAD tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Little blinking lights moving across the country: Trump endorsement flips district… another DEI office closes… illegal immigrant self-deports… MSNBC host bursts into tears… It's Christmas every day if you're a conservative. Democrats wake up each morning like kids discovering Santa left them an invoice.And speaking of things people are trying to hide under the tree skirt, Joe Biden apparently doesn't want America learning just how cooked his brain was while he occupied the Oval Office. Isn't that amazing? We spent four years watching this man wander around stages like he was looking for the men's room at a Cracker Barrel, and now suddenly they want privacy. Privacy? The real scandal isn't that Biden struggled mentally. Aging happens. The scandal is that an entire political machine, media included, looked Americans dead in the eye and said, “No, no, this is fine. He's sharp as a tack.” Sharp as a tack? If Biden were your Uber driver, you'd jump out at the first red light.And here's the part they never want discussed: if unelected staffers, handlers, and bureaucrats were effectively running the country while pretending Biden was fully in charge, what exactly do we call that? Democracy?More like, Weekend at Bernie's: Executive Branch Edition?Meanwhile, Republicans have finally figured out something Trump understood from the beginning: politics isn't golf. You don't politely clap for the other side while they try to destroy you. Trump reshaped the Republican Party because he proved that voters were starving for somebody who would actually fight instead of issuing strongly worded bookmarks.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Alan sits down with Broadway producer Brian Anthony Moreland for a candid, high-energy conversation about the realities of commercial theatre. Brian shares the fascinating story of how he caught the theatre bug playing Santa Claus in the third grade , his formative years at a performing arts boarding school , and his early career as a non-union dancer dealing with the exhausting audition grind in New York City. He opens up about the pivotal moment he decided to pivot to producing, starting with a grueling five-and-a-half-year journey to bring Thoughts of a Colored Man to Broadway. Alan and Brian pull back the curtain on the industry's economic pressures, debating Broadway financials, escalating production costs, and what it truly takes to balance commercial viability with meaningful, artistic storytelling. The conversation centers deeply on Brian's extraordinary relationship with the work of August Wilson. He recalls the serendipitous train ride to Pittsburgh that led to him producing the record-breaking revival of The Piano Lesson , and how Denzel Washington personally asked him to lead-produce his next Wilson project. Brian breaks down the profound themes of identity, healing, and family preservation driving his latest production at the Barrymore Theatre, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, sharing delightful insights into working with legendary director Debbie Allen and the joyful, nurturing energy that stars Taraji P. Henson and Cedric the Entertainer bring to the rehearsal room. Finally, Brian takes on the 60-second plot challenge, pitches a classic musical, and reflects on the timeless power of theatre as a space where you can be anything. Brian Anthony Moreland is a transformative Broadway producer dedicated to shaping the contemporary cultural landscape through visionary, inclusive storytelling. Originally from California, he began his career as a performer before transitioning into producing. His impressive Broadway repertoire includes the ground-breaking global hit Othello starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, the record-breaking revival of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson, The Wiz, The Lifespan of a Fact, Sea Wall / A Life, and The Sound Inside. A respected industry leader, Moreland serves on the Board of Governors of The Broadway League, where he co-chairs the Multicultural Task Force. He also holds leadership roles as a Trustee for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, a Trustee of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, a Board Director for NYC Tourism and Conventions, and is an active member of the Theatre Development Fund (TDF).

Do you follow God because He's worthy of worship, or because of what He can give you? Brian From lands on that question after a Sunday sermon about Eli and Samuel — and it sticks. Is God a vending machine, a cosmic Santa Claus, or the one who is worthy of praise even when circumstances are bad? That's the challenge at the heart of this hour. First though: Memorial Day reflections on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's costly grace and what it actually means to be called to "come and die" — a word that cuts against a culture obsessed with comfort. A poignant piece called "Judson's Last Ride," a father's reflection on his autistic son's last school bus ride, and what every parent faces when their kids move into a new season. A study on pro chess players that becomes a personal confession about paralysis by analysis. The agonizing .02-second finish at the Indy 500 and what it means to get back in the car. Why youth group attendance is down and what youth ministers can actually do about it. Gas at $4.74 feeling like a victory. And a summer charge: be intentional, or it will pass you by before you know it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Mars leaves fast-moving Aries for the more leisurely pastures of Taurus. Venus enters nurturing Cancer and makes a romantic sextile to Mars. The Sun enters the curious sign of Gemini and is awakened by a conjunction with Uranus, and creativity are highlighted as the Sun sextiles Neptune. We are encouraged to loosen our grip on perfectionism at the Virgo First Quarter Moon. Plus: "A guy," a cat arguing with a mouse, and the love of a hot mess!

Great for tackling projects that need patience and stamina to bring them to completion. [4:29] Venus enters Cancer (May 18, 6:05 pm PDT until June 13, 2026). Buy items for your home, and focus on the people who matter most: show them love, and look for ways to bring them comfort and joy. [7:02] Venus sextiles Mars (May 18, 10:37 pm PDT) at 0°13' Cancer-Taurus.  You may be willing to go after the things you want without apology or hesitation. The desire for more money motivates you to work harder. [9:16] The Sun enters Gemini (May 20, 5:37 pm PDT until June 21, 2026). This is the season of the butterfly, where we're curious and interested in everything, but not necessarily for very long. Great time for short road trips and summer reading.

The Sabian symbol for this conjunction is 2 Gemini, Santa Claus filling stockings furtively. Unexpected blessings and prosperity might come your way. Be open to new things and new ways of being. [16:21] Moon Report!  The Virgo First Quarter Moon (May 23, 4:11 am PDT) at 2°20' Virgo and Gemini. This is the first action point in the Taurus New Moon (May 16, 25°57' Taurus) cycle. Release Virgo's tendency for hyper-perfection and overt criticism. Find something to fix, a job to do, or a problem to solve. [18:46] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). This is the First Quarter Moon (first action point) for the LPFC that began with Aug. 22, 2025 New Moon at 0°23' Virgo. The Full Moon (awareness point) in this LPFC is on Feb. 20, 2027, at 2°5' Virgo, and the Last Quarter (last action point) is on Nov. 20, 2027 at 28°27' Leo. [20:49] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. The Moon in Gemini sextiles Saturn in Aries (May 17, 12:35 pm PDT). It's VOC for 1 day, 6 hours, and 11 minutes, then enters Cancer (May 18, 6:46 pm PDT). Focus on using setting firm boundaries to prevent overwhelm. [22:13] The Moon in Cancer conjoins Jupiter (May 20, 6:27 am PDT), is VOC for 13 hours, 21 minutes, then enters Leo (7:48 pm PDT). Use this VOC Moon period to establish the habit of learning about creature comforts from other cultures. [23:35] The Moon in Leo trines Saturn in Aries (May 21, 3:05 pm PDT). It's VOC for 1 day, 8 hours, 52 minutes, then enters Virgo (May 22, 11:57 pm PDT). Use this VOC Moon period to bring structure and timelines to your creative projects. [24:41] The Moon in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in Cancer (May 24, 5:54 pm PDT). It's VOC for 13 hours, 40 minutes, then enters Libra (May 25, 7:34 am PDT). Use this VOC Moon to practice leaving people and places better than you found them. [26:04] The Sun sextiles Neptune (May 24, 7:22 pm PDT) at 3°55' Gemini-Aries.

Happy Tuesday, Christmas Fanatics! Apologies we're a day late with this one, but life got in the way! We hope you all had a great weekend and had a wonderful Mother's Day! This week, Julia, Thom, and Anthony sat down to discuss the 1990, Christmas special, "Barney: Waiting for Santa". Anthony grew up on this one and has a lot of nostalgia wrapped up in it, but how does it hold up for him now as a thirty-six year old man? And how does it hold up for Thom and Julia who have no nostalgia for the iconic, giant purple dinosaur? You'll just have to tune in to find out! But one thing's for certain: this is one, festive episode you want to be sure not to miss! So settle back, relax, and enjoy! And, as always, thanks for your love and support, y'all!

In this episode, I sit down with Pierre Mousseau — entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and author of From the Ashes: A Father's Journey Through Grief, Grace, and Faith. This is one of the most extraordinary, raw, and spiritually powerful conversations this show has ever had. Pierre grew up with a severely alcoholic and mentally abusive father, was molested at 11, slept on the streets at 17, and was kicked out of his home at 19. He built himself into an entrepreneur, a husband, and a father. And then his son Parker — sweet, joyful, endlessly loving Parker — was taken from him at 21 years old after a catastrophic bowel emergency, five surgeries, and seven weeks in the ICU. Pierre made the decision to remove him from life support. Five months later, with his company collapsing and the grief unbearable, Pierre got into his car at full speed aimed at a maple tree. He should have died that day. He didn't. What follows is one of the most extraordinary stories of faith, forgiveness, and divine intervention you will ever hear — from the church he walked into while still hating God, to the deacon whose homily that Sunday was about losing a child, to the moment in the shower when something held him and everything changed. This episode will stop you in your tracks. And it will remind you to hug your kids today. Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:02] Pierre's childhood — alcoholic and abusive father, bullied at school, Spider-Man comics as his only escape [5:33] Moving in with a drug-addicted uncle at 17, sleeping on the streets, and nobody noticing he was gone [7:44] Being molested at 11 — and the family that never did anything about it [8:31] Driving four hours to see his dying father determined to tell him everything — and what actually happened instead [10:41] Saying "I forgive you" at his father's bedside — and still carrying the hatred for years after [15:51] Introducing Pierre — entrepreneur, speaker, and author of From the Ashes [17:30] Who Parker was — how he loved, what made him extraordinary, and the boy who still believed in Santa Claus at 14 [21:30] The phone call from the hospital — and the doctor who said "I don't know what happened but his bowel is pink" [23:33] Seven weeks in the ICU, ICU delirium, and the decision Pierre had to make [25:39] "I felt like I murdered my child" — the guilt that followed Pierre for years [32:18] The hardest decision he has ever made — and why he couldn't keep Parker alive for himself [38:02] Five months after Parker's death, the company collapsed — and on a Saturday morning Pierre got in his car to end his life [39:09] Heading for a maple tree at full speed — and what stopped him [40:44] Eleven months of hating God — and the Sunday morning he suddenly drove to church [41:21] Walking into mass on the homily about losing a child — and sobbing until the woman beside him put her hand on his shoulder [43:52] Meeting Deacon Curtis, the grief retreat, Parker's orange tag, and the text that said "I think Parker is trying to tell you something" [47:30] In the shower in March 2025 — the purple light, the arms that held him, and the love that changed everything [51:14] Strength is not pushing through — strength is vulnerability, asking for help, and being willing to say "this sucks" [52:38] The keynote at the convent and the woman with a cane who walked up at the end without one [56:47] The man in the steam room bashing his kids — and what Pierre said that silenced the room Five Key Takeaways Forgiveness is not a feeling — it's a decision you make before the feeling follows. Pierre said the words at his father's bedside before he was ready. The release came years later. Grief and guilt will destroy you if you carry them alone. The bravest thing Pierre did wasn't surviving the worst moments — it was finally saying "I need help" and meaning it. Strength is not pushing through. Strength is vulnerability. Strength is allowing yourself to cry, to feel, to say this is hard, and to ask for another man to come alongside you. You never know when the moments will be gone. Cherish the ordinary ones — the arcade nights, the couch cuddles, the conversations that start after midnight. Parker would tell you that. God meets you in your most broken moment — not when you've cleaned yourself up. Pierre was still hating God when he walked through that church door. It didn't matter.

Not tomorrow. Today. Pierre Mousseau lost the most loving person he had ever known. And what he has done with that loss — the book, the keynotes, the moment in the steam room, the woman who walked without her cane — is one of the most beautiful things we have ever witnessed on this show. Don't let another day go by without telling the people who matter most that you love them. Go out and live legendary.

Lima and Baskin wrestle with whether the Cavs' struggles are matchup-specific or a deeper talent problem, landing on the latter — arguing that even against a beatable Pistons team, Cleveland can't hold the ball, can't start games ready, and has no reliable second option behind a hobbled Mitchell. The Harden-as-Santa-Claus jokes aside, both hosts see a roster that may need a teardown, with Mobley's future in Cleveland and Atkinson's job security both increasingly in question. A caller summed up the mood: Lima spent all season trying to get the city excited, and the team has given everyone every reason to stay skeptical.

Welcome back to another episode of Bubbles Mushrooms! It took an extra week to type this description up because Luke was on vacation - sorry Brian! This week we start this pig and our fan favorite guest Marty is back to talk about taking the scenic route, keeping secrets about local humor, new United States currency, naked lady pictures and Mad Magazine Fold-Ins. Luke finally bought his midlife crisis mobile, Katie wants to mate with it, Marty fills us in on the “Bone Table” and how AI will eventually replace Santa Claus. This week's game time activity is all baseball talk. The show, as a collective, has become the new PR department for Major League Baseball and we're here to make or break logos and mascots for all the teams! Will Kansas City make the cut? How do you feel about the Philly Phanatic? Did you know that Colorado has a baseball team? Find out all about it on the Bubbles Mushrooms podcast!

Jon Herold comes in Thursday with plenty to chew on and no shortage of opinions. He doubles down on his Comey skepticism after Trump himself posts confirming 86 is a mob term for kill, which Jon says actually makes the legal case harder, not easier, since it removes the noncriminal interpretation that the First Amendment requires. The House quietly passed a three-year renewal of FISA Section 702 with barely a whisper of public debate, and Jon is not thrilled. Trump and Putin held a 90-minute call where Putin offered a Victory Day ceasefire and Trump said both the Ukraine and Iran wars are on similar timetables, calling Ukraine militarily defeated. Q1 GDP came in at 2% despite the Iran oil shock, inflation is still running hot, and Jerome Powell apparently wants to stick around at the Fed, which Jon finds predictably annoying. Mike Johnson is calling to suspend Louisiana elections after the Supreme Court voided the state map, and Jon sees it as a potential template for pausing midterms altogether. Trump also nominated Dr. Nicole Safier as Surgeon General. Jon closes with an extended, honest meditation on information war fatigue, the Santa Claus metaphor for Hopium, and why grounded expectations are not the same thing as blackpilling.

You think you know the Duggars' rules. The matching outfits. The courtship rituals. The no-kissing-before-marriage thing. But there's a list behind the list — and it starts with Santa Claus. In the IBLP, Santa's name was treated as an anagram of Satan. The Duggars erased him from Christmas entirely. And that was just the beginning of a blacklist that went far beyond holiday traditions.Tony Brueski lays it all out. Cabbage Patch dolls, declared demonic — families were told to burn them, not throw them away. Disney, torched in a backyard bonfire. Rock music, even worship music with a beat, taught to give Satan a piece of your child's soul. Harry Potter, Pokémon cards, Monster Energy drinks, Barbies — all gone. The Duggar daughters published the family's “Nike” code word in their own book — yelled in public so every male in the family stared at his shoes when an attractive woman walked by.Then the list moves past toys and into territory that matters. Therapy, called satanic. Psychiatrists, called evil. Mental health medication, called a trap. IBLP published materials linking illnesses to sins — migraines to guilt, osteoporosis to envy. Birth control forbidden even when pregnancy threatened a mother's life. Former members described having tampons confiscated. Infants struck for crawling off a blanket in a practice the family called “encouragement.”Tony connects the dots: every banned item removes one more window to the outside world. And the man who sealed those windows shut was himself accused of harassing 34 women who worked for him. The blacklist isn't about faith. It's about control. Robin Dreeke, Ret. FBI Behavioral Unit Chief, joins Tony for this episode.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS! https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Full Text of Readings Thursday of the Third Week of Easter Lectionary: 276 The Saint of the day is Saint George Saint George's Story Saint George is the object of a vast amount of imagination. There is every reason to believe that he was a real martyr who suffered at Lydda in Palestine, probably before the time of Constantine. The Church adheres to his memory, but not to the legends surrounding his life. That he was willing to pay the supreme price to follow Christ is what the Church believes. And it is enough. The story of Saint George's slaying the dragon, rescuing the king's daughter, and converting Libya is a 12th-century Italian fable. George was a favorite patron saint of crusaders, as well as of Eastern soldiers in earlier times. He is a patron saint of England, Portugal, Germany, Aragon, Catalonia, Genoa, Milan and Bologna. Reflection Human nature seems to crave more than cold historical data. Americans have Washington and Lincoln, but we somehow need Paul Bunyan, too. The life of Saint Francis of Assisi is inspiring enough, but for centuries the Italians have found his spirit in the legends of the Fioretti, too. Santa Claus is the popular extension of the spirit of Saint Nicholas. The legends about Saint George are part of this yearning. Both fact and legend are human ways of illumining the mysterious truth about the One who alone is holy.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

So, we watched that Netflix documentary about America's Next Top Model and we had real feelings. Fatty McFat-Fat has been certainly ruining lives and livelihoods for decades at the least. COVID and Chemo are concerned not only about Fatty's activities but also about the matter of Tyra Banks and her activities. For one, never in life even consider calling a Black lady “ashy." Ever. We beg you. Also, beard weaves are exclusively for Santa Claus, Papa Smurf, and Rumplestilskin. Thank you for your attention to this emergency episode. #staywoke

In this episode, we dive into the common pitfalls that hold spiritual seekers back from achieving their true potential. While practices like meditation and manifestation are powerful tools, they are often misunderstood as passive solutions. We explore why sitting in silence is only the first step and how you must become the active "mechanism" to bring your "downloads" into reality.The discussion reframes manifestation not as a gift from a "cosmic Santa Claus," but as a labor-intensive process of assembly and effort. We also break down the "Magical Thinking Delusion," challenging the idea that simply being a "good person" is a substitute for building a practical skillset through life experience. Finally, we shift the perspective on hardship, explaining why resistance is actually the universe's way of introducing the growth you've asked for. Whether you are struggling with a plateau in your personal growth or feeling stuck in your career, this episode provides a grounded, action-oriented roadmap to help you stop wishing and start creating.Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!

It's Festive Friday and things are getting dark this holiday season! ABOUT SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT After seeing his parents killed by someone dressed as Santa, a grown man later wears a Santa suit himself and seeks violent revenge. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT December 12, 2025 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT Director: Mike P. Nelson Writers: Mike P. Nelson, Michael Hickey, Paul Caimi Cast: Rohan Campbell as Billy Chapman Ruby Modine as Pamela Sims Mark Acheson as Charlie (Shotgun Santa) Erik Athavale as Geoffrey Chapman BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS We meet this boy who is in an assisted living waiting room and he keeps being creeped out by these random people. The kid goes back to see his grandpa who talks to him about Santa, but he starts coughing like crazy. He goes to get his grandpa some water but it's too late. Grandpa coughs up just an insane amount of blood. Bad news - grandpa is dead. They get on the road and, while at a stop light, a car comes behind them and just slowly taps them. The dad gets out to check and is shot by a Santa Claus. Santa shoots towards the mom. She's able to kick him in the neck with her heel but he gets one last shot in before they both die. The boy, Billy, is there to watch it all. Years later, Billy is now an adult. He wakes up in a hotel room and we see a dead body in the bathtub. He takes some of the blood from that body and puts it in this weird bloody advent calendar he keeps. Billy hears this voice that's kind of guiding him. It's a bit like Venom. You know Venom? It's like that. Billy sees a woman that he fancies and follows her to the Christmas shop that she works at. He applies for the job and gets it so that he can be close to her. Her name is Pamela. It doesn't take long for him to find his next victim - an older dude who hits on Pam. We find out that way back when, after his mom stabbed Santa with her heel, Billy went to check on him and when they touched hands, this electrical surge passes between them. That's the voice we hear. We find out that there's an urban legend in town - the Snatcher. Someone who takes kids. Pam's dad is like it's just a myth...although, there is an alarming number of missing kids. Pam gets arrested for sticking up for her nephew. Her ex-boyfriend is a cop and he tells her that she's being released. That's when we find out that they broke up because he punched her in the face. He really wants to get back with her but she's not having it. Luckily for Billy, he comes across a nazi Christmas party. That makes picking his next kill pretty quickly. He just goes ham on the nazis but the head nazi starts shooting and he ends up getting hit which allows her to get away. But he's ok. It's not his first rodeo. Tough break for Billy. He's asked to play Santa at work which turns out to be incredibly challenging for him because of what happens to him when he puts on the suit. But he's able to make it through and Pam is very impressed and finds him in the back room and they make out and what not. We see Pam's dad come across this little girl who is in a van. She had been taken by the Snatcher. The Snatcher comes behind him and kills him. Obviously, Pam is distraught. She tells Billy that she wished Santa was real so that she could ask Santa to kill the guy who killed her dad. Billy decides to confide in her. He tells her about the electrical surge and how he now is guided by the voice of Charlie, aka Santa. Santa knows who has been naughty and is able to show Billy what they did. So Billy only kills guys that he knows have done real bad stuff. Pam is unfazed. Charlie leads them to a Christmas tree lot where they find three kids in this bunker with ball pit balls. Pam goes down there and little does she know that the Snatcher is down there too. Guided by Charlie, Billy is able to kill the Snatcher by stabbing him with a box cutter. When he goes outside, Pam's ex-boyfriend cop is there and he shoots Billy. Pam comes out and sees Billy laying there. He's dying. She grabs his hand and the electrical surge happens. She now has "it". She kills her ex and then hears Billy's voice who will be guiding her. He asks if she's ready for this and she smiles.

On Christmas Eve in 1926, a man came running into Bellevue Hospital in New York screaming that Santa Claus had been chasing him for blocks with a baseball bat. Not long after that, he died. And then another person arrived in the emergency room. And then another. This started happening in emergency rooms around the country. And it was happening because of a plan created by the U.S. government. Deborah Blum's book is The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York.

In one of my most proud moments - we had the honor of havingArtie Lange on the show. It happened two weeks before Chris died and was loaded with all kinds of crazy emotions. We talk about everything: Artie's rise from Mad TV to the Howard Stern Show, how heroin took over his life, the insanity of fame, gambling, strippers, and self-destruction at the highest level. He tells stories that are as funny as they are fucked — Santa Claus shitting his pants, buying coke before Dirty Work, and getting high while becoming one of the biggest voices in radio.

Redefining Real Toughness and Modern Manhood. Pop Culture vs. Authoritarians. The 10% Problem. Santa and Steinbrenner. From Walter Reed to the Road.   WWE Hall of Famer and hardcore legend Mick Foley returns to join Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff for an EXCLUSIVE, extended, a no-holds-barred conversation about his powerful and viral Instagram post, leaving the WWE, Trump's reckless push toward war with Iran and why it's time for a new wave of independent veterans to step into the political ring.  From Ohio hotel rooms and horror conventions to Capitol Hill and chaotic war rooms, Mick and Paul break down how we got here, why so many Americans feel politically homeless, and what it will take for principled veterans to challenge both parties—and stop another disastrous forever war before it starts.​ And Mick tells some amazing, wise and fascinating stories about the Undertaker, character, courage,  the World Baseball classic, playing Santa Claus, meeting Reggie Jackson on a plane, fatherhood and compromise; the dangers of treating the military like a toy; and how an unlikely alliance between a grizzled veteran advocate and a hardcore wrestling icon can help America find its backbone again—and maybe even have a nice day.  -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

In 1998, Deputy Jon Aujay went for a run in the California desert and never returned. After a weeklong search, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department determined he went to the Devil's Punchbowl to commit suicide - a conclusion that did not sit right with some of his fellow deputies. Given the area's reputation for meth labs, colleagues suspected Aujay stumbled across something he wasn't supposed to see. They point to dealers who've claimed to kill a cop in the desert. And the accusations against one of Aujay's fellow deputies who was investigated for his ties to a violent meth dealer.  The podcast “Valley of Shadows” digs into the disappearance of Jon Aujay and whether it's tied to the ruthless drug trade run out of the Southern California desert. Hosts Hayley Fox and Betsy Shepherd take listeners on a journey that includes cover-ups, dirty cops, Bigfoot, and a meth dealer who looks like Santa Claus. OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "VALLEY OF SHADOWS" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 13 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! This week we go from Julie Andrews, Walt Disney, and the battle over casting Mary Poppins… to why middle management so often misses greatness. Chuck Barris buying a bar just to knock it down. The difference between absurd comedy and mean comedy. And why waiting for “Santa Claus” to bring you your shot is a losing strategy. We also get into Netflix's Reality Check… America's Next Top Model, The Biggest Loser, kidfluencers… and the messy question of accountability.  PLUS: blizzard life in Connecticut, shovel reflections, Certs updates, Bazooka Joe vs. Double Bubble, and a full candy nostalgia spiral. Underneath it all: don't wait for permission. Take the shot. Follow the fun. Bye Betches.
