Podcasts about Santa Claus

On the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat, Sam sits down with Brian The Demon Erasers for a wild deep dive into demonic possession, exorcisms, witchcraft, and the Nephilim. They explore the connections between demons, parasites, sickness, giants, dog-headed people, Bigfoot, jinn, and the astral realm, plus the dark occult themes hidden in Disney, Santa Claus, Peter Pan, alcohol, language, and Hollywood. They also ask the big questions: Is Oprah connected to the Nephilim, and is Kanye West demon possessed?

Carlos Greaves returns to the podcast for a closer look at the surprisingly authoritarian role of parenting, beginning with his 18-month-old daughter's new favorite activity: climbing things that are clearly designed for five-year-olds and launching herself toward a seven-foot drop. With essentially no childcare experience before becoming a dad—he had never even changed a diaper until the nurse handed him his daughter in the hospital—Greaves describes figuring out parenting through research, YouTube, books, and an engineer's instinct to identify what he doesn't know, while remaining skeptical of advice that seems to reverse itself every five years. He and Ophira Eisenberg wrestle with the line between letting kids make mistakes and protecting them from hurting themselves or other people, with Greaves admitting that he currently operates at “dad reflex distance,” close enough to catch his daughter but far enough away that she learns to solve problems herself. That tension leads naturally into the mythology of childhood: Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the little stories parents tell to make life easier. Greaves remembers his father initially refusing to participate in Santa because he considered it lying, then eventually sitting his eight- or nine-year-old son down to explain the truth—only to be hit with the immediate existential question, “If Santa Claus isn't real, does that mean God isn't real?” Greaves now sees those childhood myths differently, remembering the pleasure of watching younger siblings discover Christmas magic and deciding that if you are going to lie to your kids, it should be for their benefit rather than simply to make your own life easier. The conversation also takes aim at the impossible standards of modern parenting, from organic cotton and wooden toys to BPA-free bottles and the endless question of what, exactly, has replaced the thing labeled “BPA free,” before Greaves offers his own survival tactic for parenting's tiny dictators: eat your snacks in secret before they become smart enough to notice. When Ophira asks what he would tell a child who eventually wants to become either a comedian or a politician, Greaves's answer is revealingly consistent with his satirical worldview: he can live with either, as long as they do not become an asshole—and preferably, she becomes an electrical engineer.

Se puede criar a los hijos sin mentiras… y sin religión? Odín Dupeyrón, creador de ¡A vivir! y de En Busca de la Razón, responde lo que ningún papá se atreve a preguntar: qué decirle a tu hijo cuando pregunta por Dios, qué hacer cuando descubre la verdad de Santa Claus, y por qué decirle "puedes ser lo que quieras en la vida" es una mentira. En este episodio de Podcast Auténtico, Pedro Prieto y Titi Jaques hablan con Odín sobre crianza, educación sin religión, pensamiento crítico y criterio: por qué cree que "la religión es abuso infantil", cómo poner límites con amor, quién daña realmente a los niños (no es un extraño), masculinidad, y por qué una infancia realista termina siendo una infancia feliz. Además, Pedro cuenta la historia más personal que ha contado en este podcast: lo que le pasó con su hijo en el hospital… y la respuesta de Odín que no se esperaba. Si eres mamá o papá y quieres educar a tus hijos para la vida real sin miedos, sin fantasmas y sin mentiras, este episodio es para ti. Síguenos y déjanos tu opinión: ¿tú le dirías a tu hijo que Dios no existe?

Joel Bein spent two years clearing more than a thousand beliefs on himself before he ever worked on anyone else. In this episode he does it live, on Chris. Joel finds the belief that has been running Chris since he was a kid, walks him through it on camera, and about fifteen minutes later Chris says the words out loud and feels nothing. Joel is the founder of Human Liberation, where he works one on one with six and seven figure entrepreneurs to permanently remove the beliefs that quietly cap what they earn and what they enjoy. He calls it uncoaching, because he is not adding another framework. He is subtracting the root. If you have done the therapy, read the mindset books, and the same voice still shows up at three in the morning, this is the one. In this episode: What a limiting belief actually is, and why Joel calls it a closet full of old shirts you never throw out Why meditation and mindset hacks mow the lawn instead of pulling the dandelion out at the root The live demo. Chris names the pressure he carries, Joel finds the belief underneath it, and you hear the moment it lets go Why "I'm not good enough" may be the most common belief on the planet, and the animated movie scene that shows exactly how it gets made The Santa Claus test, and why a belief that is truly cleared does not come back the next time life gets hard The first domino. Beliefs, thoughts, emotions, actions, outcomes, and why most men only ever work the last two How a belief you do not know you have turns into a revenue ceiling and a three in the morning money spiral Why doing the emotional work makes a man harder to shake, not softer, and what that does for a marriage The comparison trap.

Ben spills the exclusive details of his long-overdue power lunch with former radio sidekick Eddie Garcia — the who, what, where, when and why of the whole operation. It required the Army Corps of Engineers, some highly questionable Maller Math and enough travel to qualify as a Lewis & Clark expedition. The destination? The Tabernacle of the Chicken Finger, where Benny reveals exactly how much power 25+ years at Fox Sports Radio gets you. Spoiler: not much. Plus, we workshop the first-ever Milky Way NFL Draft featuring the Grays, Nordics, Insectoids and Reptilians. Which alien species goes No. 1 overall, and naturally, how do the Browns screw it up? Then it's Tooth Fairy economics: Santa Claus' overnight-working younger sibling has been collecting chompers for generations — but just how many teeth can the Tooth Fairy theoretically harvest from one kid? We crunch the numbers on that brain buster and more in this completely unnecessary, yet somehow must-listen edition of the Fifth Hour.

Joel Bein helps entrepreneurs find and clear the subconscious beliefs behind self-doubt, stress, overworking and procrastination. In this conversation he explains what a limiting belief actually is, why most of them get wired in during childhood, and how they quietly shape your thoughts, emotions and results without you noticing.He also shares the question he uses to surface a belief: what would I have to believe for me to be experiencing this? From there he walks through the Santa Claus effect, the moment you realize you never had proof for the story in the first place, and why a belief that drops that way does not come back.We also get into his morning routine, which he has been refining for 10 to 12 years: bed made, big glass of water, five minutes of meditation, sunlight and movement outside, journaling and a walk, then creative deep work. Ryan compares notes, including his eye ice pack experiment that his kids think is nuts.Take the ideas from this show and put them to work.

This one's a ripper, legends. I sat down with Dr. MG McCullough, a classical acupuncturist who trained under Anne Cecil Sturman in the Jeffrey Yuen lineage, and we went deep - like, Jenga-block-pulled-from-the-middle deep - on what modern acupuncture school actually leaves out. MG's whole thing is that we didn't just simplify Chinese medicine when it got exported West, we pulled the center block out of the tower. The primaries got taught, the channels, sinews, luo vessels, divergences and eight extraordinaries got filed under "extra," and now most acupuncturists are running triage clinics instead of practicing the full system. We get into why that matters, why it's not anyone's fault, what it'd take to rebuild the whole thing from the ground up, and where MG's taking her own practice next. What We Get Into The Jenga analogy - how acupuncture education pulled the center block (the classical framework) and left everyone thinking they had the full foundation when they didn't Why the "secondary" channels - sinews, luo vessels, divergences, eight extraordinaries - aren't extra at all, they're there to protect the primaries, and skipping them is the whole problem The barefoot doctor origin story, self-colonization of TCM in the '50s, and why triage-model training became the default for an entire profession The Santa Claus story - MG's honest reckoning with believing "the system" works the way she was taught, and what it took to let that go Why 20% of US acupuncture schools have closed since 2020, and whether that's a crisis or an opening to rebuild the whole model "It's not magic, it's just medicine" - why full-system results look magical when they're actually just complete The starfish story - high-volume triage practice vs. slower, deeper healing work, and why both have a place The retreat model MG's brainstorming - five-day intensives built for real neuroplastic change, so people go home actually different, not just patched up for an hour Full circle on the barefoot doctor thread - what home visits taught MG about how nothing in someone's life stays hidden once a doctor actually shows up "Are you a stress denier?" - why "everything's fine" is often the biggest red flag in the room Guest Bio Dr. MG McCullough is a classical acupuncturist who trained under Anne Cecil Sturman - a teacher in Jeffrey Yuen's lineage who's been on the SuperFeast podcast before, so go dig up those episodes if this one hits. MG's outspoken about the structural gap she sees in acupuncture education, and she's in the middle of a big life transition - moving to the south of France, just north of Montpellier - as she reshapes her practice toward teaching and retreat-style intensives. She also hosts her own show, The Original Medicine Podcast.

I interviewed Nicolas Bourniquel about The Sad Story of the Little Mouse Who Wanted to Become Somebody on Tuesday, September 2, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for The Sad Story of the Little Mouse Who Wanted to Become Somebody: "Once upon a time, there was a little mouse who worked relentlessly to achieve a single goal: becoming somebody. Driven solely by her ambition, she slowly grew mean and arrogant, pushing everyone away. One day, she accepted a job offer from the most prolific toymaker in the world: Santa Claus. The little mouse was about to discover that climbing the corporate ladder was not all she had hoped it would be… La triste histoire de la petite souris qui voulait absolument devenir quelqu'un is a biting satire of corporate life in the form of a VR Christmas tale." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: From humble creative workshop [5] at home [4] to express her identity [1] through social media [3], but then becomes completely invisible [12]. Then a transition into the other worldly character of Santa's workshop [9], which becomes a professional workplace that is highly industrialized and automated [10] turning the creative work into a slog of manual tasks devoid of too much creativity or autonomy [6] work that translates into a bit of a situation of slavery [12] Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Emotional Presence: Narrative-driven, immersive animation. This very much a character-driven story2nd Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Very detailed world that you enter into. From Paris streets to the speculative workshop of Santa updated with all of the latest gifts of automation3rd Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Dialogue amongst the characters - English and no subtitles.. is there any narration?4th Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: No narrative agency or any embodied Interactions Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Radical and Free, Bepoke and Handcrafted Creativity with unbounded creative imagination in tension with Automated Utility & a bit of structured authoritarianism. Certainly a modern day fairy tale that speaks about the dynamics of AI and automation. "The little mouse was about to discover that climbing the corporate ladder was not all she had hoped it would be..." -- "how difficult it is for artists to find their place in a hyper-competitive, automated world. On one side, there's the struggle to exist and be seen when you're as “small” as the little mouse and still need to earn a living. On the other, there's the challenge of preserving craft and creativity in a world where machines increasingly threaten to replace creators altogether." Artist Statement: "With La triste histoire de la petite souris qui voulait absolument devenir quelqu'un, we aim to explore how difficult it is for artists to find their place in a hyper-competitive, automated world. On one side, there's the struggle to exist and be seen when you're as “small” as the little mouse and still need to earn a living. On the other, there's the challenge of preserving craft and creativity in a world where machines increasingly threaten to replace creators altogether." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C83cO-zapE This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

What's up, dudes? Kevin Williams from ‘Tis the Soundtrack joins me to talk about Rainbow “Snowman!” Yes, the former Deep Purple guitarist took Howard Blake's song from the 1982 classic and reworked it as an atmospheric synth and electric guitar anthem!Rainbow was formed in 1975 by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore after he began to tire of Deep Purple and the band's changing musical direction. Deep Purple had already replaced Ian Gillan and Roger Glover with David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, but Blackmore remained unhappy with where the music was headed. What began as Blackmore recording a single with members of the band Elf ultimately grew into a full album and the creation of Rainbow. The band quickly became known for its larger-than-life live shows, whose centerpiece was a massive computer-controlled rainbow containing some 3,000 lightbulbs and stretching 40 feet across the stage. Rainbow also became notorious for its revolving door of musicians, with original vocalist Ronnie James Dio departing in 1978 over disagreements about the band's increasingly commercial musical direction. After further lineup changes, Joe Lynn Turner eventually took over as lead singer, ushering in Rainbow's more radio-friendly early-'80s era. That lineup would lead to Bent Out of Shape, released September 9, 1983, which featured the song in question as the album's ninth track.Rainbow's instrumental “Snowman,” featured on their 1983 album Bent Out of Shape, is based on “Walking in the Air,” the haunting theme written by composer Howard Blake for the beloved 1982 animated film The Snowman, itself adapted from Raymond Briggs' 1978 children's book. Blake had actually composed the melody around 1970 before later adapting it for the television special, where it became the musical centerpiece of the story. The Snowman—which went on to become a seasonal television favorite in Britain and Finland—follows the fleeting adventure of a young boy and the snowman he brings to life. During their magical flight to the North Pole, “Walking in the Air” accompanies the pair as they soar through the night before attending a gathering of snowmen and meeting Santa Claus and his reindeer. In the original film, the song was performed by St. Paul's Cathedral choirboy Peter Auty, whose recording was later reissued in 1985 and 1987. Ritchie Blackmore was captivated by the composition's haunting, melodic beauty and, having long enjoyed adapting classical and traditional melodies into rock instrumentals, transformed Blake's delicate vocal theme into “Snowman.” Rainbow's version builds atmospheric tension around the familiar melody before giving Blackmore the opportunity to let loose with a soaring, emotional electric-guitar lead—turning one of animation's most delicate Christmas themes into a distinctly Rainbow instrumental.Synth flute?

Ben and Rob get stepped on this week by 1954's Them!, the black-and-white creature feature that took Cold War nuclear dread and gave it nine feet of legs, mandibles, and a taste for sugar.Starring Edmund Gwenn (yes, Santa Claus himself) as the entomologist explaining that mankind has opened a door it can't close, alongside James Whitmore and a pre-Gunsmoke James Arness, Them! follows a colony of New Mexico ants mutated by atomic testing into man-eating monsters, working their way from the desert into the storm drains of Los Angeles before the military can stop them.We'll get into the cultural context that turned giant bugs into box office gold, how a country nervously reading about A-bomb tests in the Southwest turned that anxiety into a monster it could actually shoot at. We'll cover the special effects: full-scale mechanical ant puppets, and a shrieking sound effect that was drove Rob to the brink of BURN IT ALL DOWN. And we'll trace the lasting legacy through the years; how a movie whose budget got slashed days before shooting somehow became Warner's biggest hit of the year and spawned an entire decade of giant-bug knockoffs.And finally... what does it really mean?!CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month!

That frustrating snap-back is not a character flaw, and it is not a discipline problem. It is often a belief problem that lives below your conscious effort, quietly steering your choices while you try to “push through” with willpower. We sit down with Joel Bein to unpack why so much personal growth creates temporary change and then fades, and why real transformation can feel surprisingly simple once you reach the root. Joel introduces his “Santa Claus effect”, an analogy for permanent change: when you truly see a belief is not true, it does not come back. We talk through how limiting beliefs form in childhood, how they show up as anxiety, procrastination, and harsh inner criticism, and how “belief glasses” can distort your view of work, relationships, money, and self-worth without you noticing. We also dig into the practical side: why behavior change often collapses when the belief underneath never moved, and why Joel focuses on subtraction and unlearning rather than stacking more habits on top of resistance.

If you've been on the internet around the holidays over the last few years, you've probably come across one or two videos asserting that Christmas is a collection of pagan traditions which were all rolled into one in order to make it easier to convert people. To be fair, Christianization was a real thing, and the Church did syncretize some aspects of various festivals into Christian holidays - but when it comes to Christmas, that's not really the case. Before we get into why that is, though, we do want to take a minute and explain that we're not trying to invalidate anyone's deeply held religious beliefs. We know that paganism is seeing a resurgence, and we're aware that we have a lot of people who identify with various pagan traditions who watch our channel. Our only request is that you consider how you'd feel if someone came along and told you that one of your most important religious festivals didn't matter because it was actually stolen from somewhere else, and then hear us out as we go through the reasons why we firmly believe Christmas is, genuinely, a purely Christian holiday. 0:00 - Open 4:52 - The Lads' Favorite Santa Movies 18:59 - The Origins of Santa Claus 33:31 - Where Did Christmas Come From?

What's up, dudes? I've got Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas and Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X'masu here to talk the jangle pop/alternative rock album by the Chris Stamey Group “Christmas Time!” After a stint with the dB's, Chris Stamey went out on his own as a solo artist. He invited his former bandmates back for a fun Christmas album. "Christmas Time" was released as a 7-song vinyl EP under the credit Chris Stamey Group with Special Guests The dB's. The EP mixed original songs with inventive takes on Christmas music, emphasizing chorused and reverbed guitars, melodic power pop, and quirky holiday charm. The record was mostly comprised of original tunes, the exception being a reworking of Deck the Hall by Cathy Harrington called Sha La La (Deck the Halls). Something Came Over Me is a reflective, melodic original that balances bittersweet lyrics with shimmering guitars and sophisticated pop arrangements. The opening title track is a bright, jangly power-pop original featuring Chris Stamey and Peter Holsapple's harmonies, chiming guitars, and an infectious holiday hook that perfectly captures the warmth and excitement of Christmas. The Only Law That Santa Claus Understood is a witty folk-pop original by Ted Lyons that pairs clever storytelling with acoustic instrumentation and understated charm, offering one of the collection's most unique lyrical perspectives. Snow Is Falling is a lush, atmospheric ballad featuring bass ostinato and Mary's haunting lead vocal, slowly building into a dreamy meditation on the quiet beauty and peaceful solitude of a snowy Christmas evening. Both are followed by the acoustic guitar instrumental It's a Wonderful Life which quotes What Child is This? to end on a remarkable, intriguing disquiet.Keyboards? Yep. Guitars? Got ‘em. Outlaw wild west Santa? For sure!

aka We Are the World 2026

Welcome to a new Boys' Bible Study side project called "The DharMann Bums," which is what we're renaming the show whenever we cover an episode of Dhar Mann, the inspirational YouTube filmmaker who racks up hundreds of millions of views making dramaslop with a questionable moral compass. We've covered Dhar Mann before, enjoying his decadent world where archetypes like "nice guys" and gold diggers duke it out, usually over money, and the evil party gets punished for their hubris. Since it's time for our annual Christmas in July episode, we decided to delve into two Christmas-themed Dhar Mann videos: "Foster Mom Won't Let Kids Have Christmas Presents" and "Adopted Kid Finds Out Mall Santa Is His Dad." Notice both plots center on orphans; the orphan is a common Dhar Mann archetype, probably popular because his audience of primarily children empathizes with downtrodden kids stuck between adults who don't have their best interests at heart. Another common trope is the evil foster parent, who only wants kids for the money they bring in through abuse of government handouts. In "Foster Mom," an evil Russian-coded foster mom makes her kids ask for Amazon gift cards for Christmas and blocks adoptions, since losing kids means losing income for her orphanage. In "Mall Santa," an evil foster mom hides her adopted son from his real dad, a humble mall Santa, again because he's her source of passive income. In both videos, Dhar Mann exists as an aspirational God-like figure representing both God and Santa Claus. Only by contacting Dhar Mann, and through the goodness of his own heart, are these orphans relieved of their evil caretakers. By frequently critiquing misuse of government resources while establishing himself as the source of grace and charity, Dhar Mann seems to imply a kind of YouTuber autocracy where the dignity to live comes from one Mann alone. This bizarre quasi-religious undertone, where there is no God but Dhar Mann, makes him fascinating for our podcast about religious megalomania. As long as Dhar Mann keeps making reactionary anti-human art, The DharMann Bums will be here to document it.

¿Sabías que los arqueólogos creen que han encontrado el lugar de descanso final de San Nicolás—sí, el hombre que inspiró a Santa Claus? Bajo una antigua iglesia en Turquía, descubrieron un sarcófago que podría pertenecer al santo real del siglo IV. San Nicolás era conocido por su generosidad y por ayudar a los pobres, lo que le llevó a convertirse en la leyenda de Santa Claus. ¡La iglesia, construida en su honor, había estado escondiendo este sitio de entierro bajo su suelo durante siglos! Los científicos todavía están estudiando la tumba cuidadosamente para confirmar si realmente se trata de él, pero están muy emocionados por el descubrimiento.

In this Parenting Is a Joke Snack, Holly Rizzuto-Palker and Ophira Eisenberg trade deeply personal stories about building an interfaith family without reducing either tradition to a compromise. Holly reflects on growing up Italian Catholic, marrying a New York Jewish lawyer who initially assumed she was Jewish, and how surviving September 11 fundamentally changed the way she thought about faith, convincing her that her children needed a single spiritual foundation rather than two parallel traditions. She explains why she chose to raise her three children Jewish while fiercely protecting Christmas, Easter baskets, a twelve-foot Christmas tree, and her legendary Italian Christmas Eve celebration complete with karaoke, creating what she jokingly describes as a negotiated "contract" that satisfied everyone from Jewish in-laws to Santa Claus. The conversation moves easily between religion, identity, parenting, and comedy as Holly recalls her daughter's last-minute declaration that she didn't believe in God just days before her bat mitzvah, the secret baptism no one in her husband's family knew about, and the challenge of raising thoughtful kids without insisting they share every belief. Along the way, both comedians wrestle with how much influence parents really have, whether children inevitably become their own people, and the bittersweet reality that Holly's household somehow produced three athletes instead of a single performer. The episode ends with Holly laughing that after years of dreaming about school plays, she still had to skip Beauty and the Beast because Rookie of the Year had another softball game. ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!

Elder Drew Howard opened Week 7 of "Ruach to Pneuma" by drawing a careful distinction that builds on last week: being indwelled by the Holy Spirit and being filled with Him are not the same thing. Indwelling, he explained from Ephesians 1:13, is the seal every believer receives at salvation, permanent, unconditional, and positional. Filling, from Ephesians 5:18, is His influence, and it is repeatable, conditional, and experiential, rising and falling with our response to Him. Working through the account of the ark of God in First and Second Samuel, Drew showed both the warning and the way. Israel first treated the ark as a good luck charm, carrying it into battle to force God's hand, and the result was disaster, defeat, the ark captured, and a child named Ichabod, "the glory has departed." His first warning landed there: God is not a genie in a bottle or a Santa Claus, and we must never use Him as a token to get what we want. Then, tracing David's life, Drew drew out five marks of a Spirit-filled life. Live out the calling God has given you, using your gifts for His glory. Inquire of the Lord and seek His will rather than your own. Seek your answers in the Word and live according to it, as David learned when moving the ark carelessly brought death and moving it God's way brought blessing. Sing songs of praise that fill the heart, as David danced before the Lord with all his might. And own it, be unashamed of being filled with the Spirit, even under the contemptuous gaze of David's wife Michal. Drew was honest that being filled can look a little crazy to a watching world, a Bible open on your desk at work, a mission trip instead of a vacation, and that this is exactly the point. He closed with a final warning drawn from Michal: be careful how you judge others who are worshiping in the Spirit.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Friday!!! We recorded this episode the night before heading out to DC and instead of our usual, we decided to do a little game: we picked a bunch of parenting hot takes & "would you rather" questions to answer rapid-fire, and yes we were all a little slap happy LOL. PSA UPFRONT: we talk about Santa in this episode around 20 minutes in… please do not listen in front of your kids!!! OK let's get into it: A few we cannot stop thinking about: is it ever OK to lie to your kids?! (Santa, tooth fairy, "the iPad only exists on the airplane" lies…), are iPads the modern day cigarette?! (YES), should schools ban birthday treats?! (no), should toddlers actually be expected to share?! (yes!!!), and the great household debate: shoes on or shoes off in the house?! (Harrison is CANADIAN and yet still on Team Shoes On somehow??). Plus, we get into some wild parenting advice from the 1930s-1960s (mothers were told don't breastfeed if you're angry?! Doctors recommended cigarettes during pregnancy?! Don't hug your baby too much or you'll create a tyrant??) that made us wonder what advice we're getting today that we'll think is crazy in 100 years. Plus, pacifiers after age 2 (yes or no?), and the true or false round: is the second kid actually rules-free? Was parenting easier before Instagram? Do parents secretly love when plans get canceled? And of course, Harrison walks us through 100 years of stock market data to kick things off (cliffhanger from last ep!! lol)… 30,000 stocks analyzed over 100 years, and only 27.6% outperformed the market. His case for index funds continues!!

Christmas festivities are coming and often go hand in hand with overindulgence, in the form of large servings of roast dinner, yummy pudding and alcohol consumption. That can result in heartburn, a condition which despite the terrifying sounding name, is usually relatively harmless.  It's a burning sensation felt in the chest, behind the breastbone, which explains where the name comes from. But it's actually down to stomach acid travelling back up the oesophagus, which is the tube that carries food down from your throat. Let's discuss a few tips for preventing heartburn, or relieving the symptoms if you do get some during the holiday season. Are some people more vulnerable than others? Are there particular foods to avoid? What can I do to calm the symptoms? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

I recorded this one from a park while my brain did what it always does on tour: bounce between pure gratitude, dumb jokes, and the kind of thoughts that hit harder when you're alone with a microphone. I run through upcoming stand-up comedy shows, then veer straight into the big news I still can't believe I get to say out loud: I'm headlining the Gathering of the Juggalos, in the butcher tent, on August 20. If you've ever wondered what a comedy tour diary sounds like when it's unfiltered, you're in the right place.From there, it turns into a weirdly heartfelt mix of nostalgia and curiosity. I talk about growing up around juggalos, the way “weird” communities can feel like home, and the very real question of how I'd even explain all of this to my mom. There's also a moment of pure roadside joy when I spot a massive Santa Claus statue and spiral into thinking about how people used to build giant, ridiculous things together and why it feels harder to do anything like that now.Then the tone shifts. I share a story about accidentally hitting an animal on the road, the guilt that follows, and how I try to hold compassion without letting it swallow me. We end on what I'm working on lately: trusting my intuition, staying present while living out of my car, and saying yes to the next strange idea, including trying to rap for $300 as “Comfy Boy.” If you like comedian podcasts, travel stories, and honest talk about anxiety, creativity, and meaning, this one's for you.Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a laugh, and leave a review if the show's been hitting for you.

Death.    The word alone possesses the same tangible finality and permanence as the act itself. Death marks the end of one's physical life & existence in this world and can come as a tragic, sudden, and untimely end, or as the sometimes “welcome” final resolution of life following a long, protracted period of illness and suffering.   “We got to live on the same earth at the same time as all these dudes…”   Regardless of how it presents, death impacts every single human on earth. Whether it's the death of a loved one or our own mortality, it's the one thing we as humans all share. And no matter what we do or how we live out our lives, eventually we will ALL be (as Lemmy so poetically put it) “killed by death” …and nobody has any idea “when” or “how” it will arrive.   “Do you know how many Junes they lived through?”   Over the course of our lifetime, we all bid farewell to the artists which have helped shape us as people, providing us with what would become the soundtrack to our lives. Many of our favorite artists passed away before we even became familiar with their work, and many have passed away so recently that we are still processing their loss from the perspective of our own lives and the impact that their lives and their art have had on us.   “All you gotta do if you miss them is press play…”   Having said that, we are not here to bemoan the losses we've experienced in the metal community so much as we are here to ask you to JOIN US as we CELEBRATE the legacy of those we have lost who have blessed our lives so richly with the timeless art they created that will forever transcend death.

Between 2010 and 2017, eight men vanished from Toronto's gay village. The man responsible was hiding in plain sight, a landscape gardener who moonlighted as a shopping centre Santa Claus. In part two of his chat with Gary, former Toronto Homicide Inspector Hank Idsinga reveals the full story behind the Bruce McArthur serial killer investigation. From a tip about cannibalism on the dark web, to dismembered victims discovered inside backyard garden planters, this is one of the most disturbing cases in Canadian criminal history. Hank also reveals how his team arrived just in time to save the life of what would have been victim number nine. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Hank also opens up about commanding the homicide response to the 2018 Toronto van attack, a mass murder scene stretching two and a half kilometres, and what it truly takes to make the right calls when lives are on the line. Hank is also the author of The High Road, a behind-the-scenes account of his career inside the Toronto Police Service. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

Kyle and Dan start with the June Fed meeting, rate cut expectations, and the problem with central banks refusing to give clear guidance. Then the conversation jumps from Russia's interest rates and Ukraine's drone warfare to Waymo recalls, delivery robots ignoring police orders, and whether old cruise-control stories were actually just time travelers making bad assumptions.They also dig into the SpaceX IPO, Elon Musk's supervillain status, data centers in space, AI simulations, media consolidation, Sam Bankman-Fried's pardon request, stablecoin ID checks, and whether crypto actually has useful applications beyond speculation.By the end, they're debating blockchain use cases, Bitcoin mining as a heating system, data center energy demand, coal, Santa Claus, and why Dan's mom once ruined Christmas coal by soaking it in water. It's might as well be an afterhours episode…Chapters00:00 - Cold Open & Introduction01:40 - Bernie Sanders' AI Wealth Fund Idea05:18 - The Fed, Rate Cuts, and Forward Guidance07:33 - Russia's Central Bank and Ukraine Drone Warfare11:28 - Waymo Recalls and Robots Behaving Badly17:00 - SpaceX IPO and Elon's Supervillain Arc25:01 - Space Data Centers, AI Simulations, and Future Tech29:48 - Paramount, Warner Bros.

(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
