Podcasts about Sass

This week, we're deep in Texas, where the only thing hotter than the sun is the drama! The Hunting Wives has everything: power plays, dirty politics, messy passion, and a crew of frenemies led by Brittany Snow and Malin Åkerman. Think Southern charm meets scandalous secrets... with a side of gunfire.But here's the million-dollar question: Is this 8-episode rollercoaster worth your binge or just a Texas-sized trainwreck? We're breaking it all down—the good, the messy, and the real juicy parts.Tune in for a whole lot of drama, laughs, and heated opinions. Spoilers ahead, obviously.

It was an amazing day for me when Johnny Braun sent me a DM on Instagram. It was short, it was succinct, and it made me want to talk to him. Here's what he said: “Hey there Dave, if you're looking for another person to be on your podcast, I'd like to be on an episode. I experienced childhood sexual abuse.” That was it…that's what started an amazing conversation, and my decision to have him as a guest today. I could go on and on about how amazing I know Johnny is. But I think he would rather I tell you about what I know about male sexual assault as a “thing” that needs to be talked about more; because Johnny agrees with me: we need to normalize this conversation. So, here's my short version of what needs to be said, and read, and heard, about male sexual assault and rape:  Sexual assault is often framed in most public discourse as an experience primarily affecting women, which is good and appropriate in a certain lens. But the reality is that men and boys are also profoundly impacted by these crimes—unfortunately, their stories remain drastically underreported and underrecognized. Here's a stat that should shock you: according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), approximately 1 in 6 men in the United States have experienced some form of sexual assault in their lifetime. While female victims often receive the bulk of media attention and resources, male survivors face unique challenges, including societal stigma, shame, and cultural expectations about masculinity that can discourage reporting or seeking help. Johnny knows this personally…all too well. You'll hear him talk about it. When we focus specifically on childhood sexual assault, the numbers are equally sobering…or better put: shocking. Studies indicate that roughly 1 in 6 boys will experience sexual abuse before the age of 18. These assaults frequently occur in settings where trust is expected—by family members, coaches, teachers, or other authority figures—and often go unreported for years. Male survivors of childhood sexual abuse are at increased risk of long-term emotional, psychological, and physical consequences, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, substance misuse, and difficulties with relationships and sexual identity. All of which, again, Johnny talks about.   Despite these alarming statistics, male victims—especially boys—remain largely invisible in conversations about sexual violence. Cultural myths that men cannot be victims, or that male survivors should “tough it out,” do nothing to help, but actually add to the systemic underreporting dilemma. Data from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center shows that only about 1 in 10 male survivors report their assault to law enforcement, compared with 1 in 3 female survivors. This silence is not a reflection of their experiences being less real or less impactful—it is a reflection of societal barriers that must be dismantled. By acknowledging, amplifying, and normalizing male survivors' voices, we can create a safer, more trauma-informed space where all survivors—regardless of gender—are believed, supported, and empowered to heal. And that's another step toward crushing rape culture in our society. Johnny wants his story to be a part of that step. Don't skip this episode. Thank you, Johnny, for your strength in reaching out to me, and for being a guest with me on this show.

151. C Kimberly Toms: From Victimization to Voice—Changing the System C Kimberly Toms. She's a survivor of rape and attempted murder, a filmmaker, writer, and business consultant. In 2013, a hopeful job move to Milwaukee turned into a harrowing ordeal when she was raped and stalked by a U.S. Department of State special agent who eventually also attempted to murder her. For the last 12 years, Kimberly has endured relentless trauma, systemic failures, and intimidation. The absolutely worst experiences, however, inspired advocacy; Kimberly created her documentary Escaping Fed and founded Not Just One, an organization dedicated to empowering survivors and driving systemic change. In this episode, Kimberly bravely and openly shares her journey of rape, survival, resilience, and transformation, highlighting the challenges survivors face and the urgent need for justice system reform. Her story is both deeply personal and profoundly instructive—a testament to courage, advocacy, and the power of speaking out. Kimberly is truly one of us whose goal is to Normalize the Conversation!™ Kimberly encourages my listeners to reach out to her, for a couple of reasons: first, she is asking for feedback on her story and the opportunity to support each other, which is always welcome. Secondly, if you're a victim or survivor of rape or sexual assault and you want to share your story as part of Kimberly's support community, go to the Not Just One website, and contact her!

The importance of this podcast includes the critical component of continuing to amplify the voices of those who've survived the unimaginable. This week, the show marks a significant milestone—Episode 150—and it's only fitting that I have a truly monumental guest, Whitney Vergés. Whitney's story is one of incredible courage as she bravely shares her experience of being drugged and raped. But what makes her journey even more powerful is the context surrounding her assault. Whitney, who has worked in the adult entertainment industry as both a stripper and the manager of the strip club, is the first sex worker to share her story on the Sexual Assault Survivor Stories platform. The stigma and victim-blaming that individuals in the sex industry face often silence them, but Whitney's decision to break that silence speaks volumes. She chose to be here today, sharing her truth, and I am deeply honored to give her the platform to do so. Whitney's hesitation in coming forward was rooted in a fear of judgment, but hearing the stories of others on the SASS Podcast helped her find the courage to step up and speak out. She reflects on how often those in the sex industry are marginalized, making their voices harder to hear. Her raw and vulnerable testimony is a game-changer; one that will resonate with many listeners who may have felt isolated or silenced by societal shame. It's a reminder of the profound impact of sharing our stories—of breaking down barriers, shattering stigmas, and embracing the power of truth. All of this is vitally important to normalizing the conversation, to which Whitney is dedicated! My deepest thanks go to Whitney for her incredible bravery. Not only is she sharing her own pain, but she is also channeling that pain into a mission to help others. Whitney is working towards opening a shelter home for victims and survivors of sexual assault, providing a safe space for healing. Her resilience and commitment to helping others heal is truly inspiring, and I have no doubt that her story will leave a lasting imprint on all who listen. Thank you, Whitney, for your strength, your heart, and your willingness to be here today.

We celebrate the following three things: One, the animist revival currently sweeping the land. Two, a completed book with a tangible publication trajectory. Three, the form of ceremony, with all its diverse manifestations in various cultures, usually simply called shaking, as explicated in Bradford Keeney's book Shaking Medicine: The Healing Power of Ecstatic Movement. We contrast this type of ceremony with a set of tendencies described by Louis Sass in his brilliant work Madness and Modernism: Insanity in the Light of Modern Art, Literature, and Thought. Sass argues that schizophrenia is a limit case—the most extreme manifestation of—perceptual changes experienced by all industrialized peoples. While its manifestations are extremely diverse, he claims the shared foundations of these perceptual changes are social disconnection, lack of agency, and loss of direct immersion in experience, in favor of analyzing experience—a turning of attention to attention itself. We examine how industrialization caused a steep decline in the ritual traditions of rural Europe, and a simultaneous building boom in psychiatric hospitals. If we know the world in three phases—intuition, analysis, and integration of the two—perhaps we can think of pre-modern politics, with qualifications, as the intuitive, and the modern, “scientific” conception of politics as the analytical. All that's left is the synthesis: a return to our bodies and shared reality, with all the wisdom we have gained in the first two phases.

Ariel Sorensen reached deep inside herself to muster the strength and fortitude to reach out to me to find out if she could share her gripping and harrowing tale of her rape and sexual assault during what was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime to South Africa. Ariel and her male companion, strangers in a foreign land, were offered nightly accommodations by an elderly couple they had just met. The couple's generous offer seemed harmless at first, but as Ariel recounts, it was part of a carefully orchestrated manipulation. Things got worse when she was invited to stay in a separate bedroom from her friend, a decision that, in hindsight, proved to be catastrophic. Ariel's is a story of trust betrayed: revealing the devastating reality that grooming tactics aren't just used on children—they can be directed at adults as well.          Ariel's narrative goes beyond the details of the assault itself, exposing us to her emotional aftermath and the challenges of navigating a foreign justice system. She bravely describes the complexities she faced while reporting the crime in South Africa, highlighting the systemic obstacles that many survivors encounter when seeking justice abroad. One of the most impressive elements of Ariel's experience is that she advocated for herself in ways she herself wasn't even aware she could!  And Ariels is another prime example of why I continually emphasize the need for trauma-informed care in these situations, as well as the vital role of support systems in helping survivors begin their healing journey. Throughout this episode, Ariel emphasizes how her story can help others who may have suffered similar experiences. She also shares her thoughts on the importance of raising awareness about grooming tactics and the ways perpetrators manipulate their victims. As Ariel explains, understanding these behaviors is crucial in preventing future assaults and empowering individuals to recognize when they are being manipulated. Plus, her insights into the South African criminal justice system and the healing process offer invaluable lessons not only for survivors but for anyone looking to better understand the complexities of sexual violence. This is an episode full of learning points…start to finish! Ariel's bravery in sharing this painful chapter of her life speaks volumes about the resilience of survivors. Her story shines a light on the emotional, legal, and societal challenges that come with surviving sexual assault, while offering hope and healing to those who have faced similar struggles. I am super-impressed with Ariel's compelling and courageous account; it's prime example of from her journey toward justice and healing, and she joins me in the mission of normalizing the conversation. And she's an awesome example of someone who found out what can happen when you're a victim or survivor of rape or sexual assault and you reach out to me for a platform to tell your story.

Join here now: https://www.money.school Rob is joined by Paul Withers, who has sold gold for 14 years, to discuss how banks control your money. They talk about how your bank deposits legally become the bank's property, why currencies collapse every 27-60 years and how inflation makes savers lose money. The conversation also covers the move toward digital currencies and reveals a strategy using pensions to invest in gold and property. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Your money legally belongs to the bank when deposited, you become a creditor, not an owner of your funds. • Banks keep only 4% reserves. The remaining 96% of your deposits get lent or invested by banks while they control your access. • Actual inflation rates reach 20-25% during peaks, far above official government figures. • No fiat currency has lasted more than 100 years, with most collapsing in 27-60 years. • Gold maintains purchasing power. Gold buys the same amount of goods today as it did centuries ago, only currencies weaken against it. • Pension strategies for wealth building include SIPP and SASS, which allow £60,000 annual tax free contributions into gold and commercial property investments. BEST MOMENTS "Savers are losers. What he means is savers lose money." "We will not unfreeze your account unless you say you've been scammed... she had to lie and say she'd been scammed to get her bank account back open." "Gold price buys the same amount of product right today as it did 50 years ago, as it did 500 years ago." "You can either pay it in tax. Or you can pay it yourself."

text us if...In this month's Spotlight episode, we chat with Michela, who shares with us what it is like to be the mother of child with a rare disease.Most of us have probably never even heard of Hirschsprung's (HIRSH-sproongz) disease, which is a condition that affects the large intestine (colon) and causes problems with passing stool. The condition is present at birth (congenital) as a result of missing nerve cells in the muscles of the baby's colon. Without these nerve cells stimulating gut muscles to help move contents through the colon, the contents can back up and cause blockages in the bowel, and can be fatal if undetected.Michela's story is so powerful and inspiring and we are very grateful that she took the time to share with us all.If you'd like to send Michela a message, you may reach out to us and we can pass it on.please visit https://www.patreon.com/Sasspod/redeem/1785B to get a free 3 month membership!

Hey everyone, and welcome back to My Sister's TBR! We're Stacey and Rebecca—your favorite sister duo back with our July wrap-up episode! This month, something wild happened: Rebecca outread Stacey. (No, really. The world tilted. A prophecy was fulfilled. We have the Goodreads receipts.) Stacey hit a bit of a reading slump while Rebecca spiraled into a whirlwind of short stories, romance novels, and a five-star reading high that knocked her into next month.In this episode, we're recapping all the reads from July: the sweet, the swoony, the mysterious, and the murdery (yep). We're also diving deep into our featured read, Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry, which had us unpacking grief, gossip, secret NDAs, and sisters (both fictional and very real—hi!). Let's get into it:What We Read in July:Stacey's Stack (3 Books)*

148. Dave Markel: Reflections and Impacts This week, since there's not guest again, I want to take a moment to reflect on the growth and impact of the podcast. I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support from all my listeners, whose commitment has fueled the show's success and exponential growth. Whether long-time listeners or relatively new to the show, your passion and dedication are what have made SASS what it is today. I also want to emphasize the importance of normalizing the conversation around rape and sexual assault. By creating a safe space for survivors to share their stories, SASS works to remove the stigma and silence that too often surrounds sexual violence. This episode highlights the vital role that all of you play in breaking down barriers, supporting healing journeys, and fostering an environment where these difficult topics can be openly discussed without shame or judgment. Finally, I discuss the significance of becoming trauma-informed, not just for professionals, but for everyone. Understanding the effects of trauma—whether in the workplace, at home, or in our communities—is essential in offering empathy and support. As always, I want to encourage you to continue sharing the podcast to help spread awareness, normalize these crucial conversations, and ensure no survivor feels alone.

Every parent hits that moment — the eye roll, the “you’re so unfair,” the slammed door. It’s the backchat that drives us up the wall. But what if we told you that this so-called “sass” is actually a sign of something good? In today’s episode, Justin and Kylie unpack why backchat is one of the most misunderstood parts of child development — and how you can respond in a way that strengthens your relationship, rather than wrecking it. We share 3 practical mindset shifts and 4 go-to scripts you can use today to turn attitude into connection and cooperation. Yes, even when the sass is strong. KEY POINTS: Backchat is often a clumsy expression of unmet needs — not a sign of defiance Reframing disrespect as a lack of skills (not a lack of values) changes everything Power struggles escalate when we seek control instead of connection Meeting autonomy, relatedness, and competence needs helps reduce pushback Get curious, not furious — especially when emotions are high Four practical scripts help parents respond with connection, not control QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “Disrespect often isn’t deliberate — it’s just clumsy communication from a kid who doesn’t yet have the skills to do it better.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: The 3 Basic Psychological Needs: Autonomy, Relatedness, Competence The “Get Curious, Not Furious” principle happyfamilies.com.au for more resources and support ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Reframe backchat as a sign of emotional overwhelm or unmet needs Use validating language like “Sometimes it feels like I’m your enemy, doesn’t it?” Offer autonomy with choices (“I don’t mind when you do it — just have it done by dinner”) Give in fantasy what they can’t have in reality to lighten the moment Use the 3 E’s Script: “Sounds like you’re really frustrated... will you help me see what’s bothering you?” Set boundaries with respect: “I’m going to give you a chance to rethink that and try again in harmony with our values.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this explosive episode of Entitled Parents, we meet a father who stole his late wife's college fund from his son, then demanded he drop out of university to help support his failing stepbrother. We also hear about a Karen who demands a Happy Meal toy from a grown man, a mom who thinks someone else's Sonic patch is “unfair,” and a wedding guest who weaponizes her white dress to put a controlling mother-in-law in her place. From toy tantrums to fast food freakouts and family meltdowns, this episode is a masterclass in entitled behavior and the people who finally push back.

147. A Repeat of Episode 43: Cashaye Barrera—An Episode Worth Hearing Again!   Sometimes life throws us a curve ball when we least expect it, and it changes the trajectory of the path we were on. That's what happened this week when a guest who was scheduled to record with me had some unexpected events thwart our scheduled appointment and we weren't able to record. So, I made the decision to do something I have yet to do on this podcast, and that is to repeat a past episode. It didn't take me anytime at all to decide which one: you are about to hear Episode 43 again: my adopted daughter, Cashaye Barrera. Cashaye's extreme courage and strength in telling her survivor story is evident and powerful, and I'm honored to be able to have you listen to this again. Please take the time to not only listen to this repeat episode, but also to re-read the notes I wrote for Episode 43: This week, I made a special request to my daughter, Cashaye Barrera, to be a guest with me on this show. I was pretty sure she would agree to do this…and she did. My confidence in her response was due in part to me knowing how passionate she is about getting justice for herself…in every legal, non-violent way possible. And because I know what a tenacious and strong personality she is when she's fighting for herself and for those she loves and cares for…like, her family. But mostly because she is passionate about helping others. Especially others that are suffering in ways she can relate to…like other victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault. Cashaye's sexual assault case wasn't taken seriously when it was reported to law enforcement. Even though she was able to present physical evidence that she was raped, the agency handling the case, along with the prosecutor's office, was much more interested in giving the benefit of the doubt to the suspect than to Cashaye; to believe his untruthful explanation for the existence of his semen on Cashaye's clothing, rather than her report of incestuous and forceful rape. This is, for the most part, across most of this country, sadly, standard operating procedure. Part of this standard, this common response among law enforcement and prosecutors, is the systemic disbelief of victims. And another huge component to the problem is blaming the victim. And while Cashaye is one of the fortunate ones that did not end up being arrested herself for false reporting, she was certainly not believed, and was told by law enforcement that she should listen to and obey the very person that raped her, and that person's wife  who knew the sexual assault was occurring, who were Cashaye's foster parents. Why is this process of disbelief, blaming, shaming, of victims, and the closure of rape and sexual assault cases without the perpetrators of these crimes being so much as confrontationally questioned about the report, let alone thoroughly investigated, so rampant, so systemic? Because…it's easier to not believe reports of sexual assault and rape than it is to believe these reports. It's easier because our human brains don't like to face the malevolence, the discomfort, the taboo, the ugliness, the messiness, the vulgarness…of rape. And because some men and women who investigate rape and sexual assault cases don't like the idea that what they do, sexually, in their own personal sex lives, could very well be construed as rape or sexual assault. It's easier to disbelieve victims; to blame victims; to shame victims, and to get them to recant their report. If you don't believe me, watch the independent film, Victim/Suspect, streaming on Netflix. Then read Cry Rape: The True Story of One Woman's Quest for Justice, by Bill Lueders. Then read Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town. And read Know My Name, by Chanel Miller Then read Dr. David Lisak's research on The Undetected Rapist. Then watch The Invisible War documentary about the prevalence of rape in the military by Kirby Dick, Amy Ziering, and Tanner King Barklow. Things need to change…big time. Be a part of that change: Start by Believing. An important side note: if you're finding value in these episodes, please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating on your podcast platform.

We all grow up with a variety of experiences, especially when it comes to the different parenting styles we observe from our own parents and others around us. These different styles shape who we become, and if we're parents ourselves, they influence how we raise our children. In this month's M2P Podcast, Sass, Amy, and Chris explore how developing a healthy parenting style can help kids and teens grow into the people God has designed them to be. They also offer valuable insights for ministry leaders on how to support and encourage parents as they guide their children in both life and faith while continuing to grow and learn themselves.

A néha saját erőből szervezett Nílus-expedíciók egyikében egy magyar származású nő is részt vett, aki rabszolgából lett egy brit lord felesége, és akinek élete bővelkedik az olykor felemelő, máskor egészen rettenetes fordulatokban.

Welcome to Episode 146. It's an honor and pleasure to introduce you to Sirona Healing Center of San Diego, CA. This episode features the two co-founders of Sirona, Jessica (Jess) Pride and Verna (Vee) Griffin-Tabor. Jess's name may sound familiar to some of you who've been long-time listeners to SASS…she was my guest on Episode 44, in August, 2023. The reason I'm featuring Sirona Healing Center this week is two-fold: first, it's a pleasure to have Jessica Pride back as a guest this week. Secondly, I am always pleased to present avenues of support and healing that my audience may be able to access to help them on their healing journey. And, after talking with Jessica about her plan to open this type of facility, even 2 years aga when I met up with Jess at the End Violence Against Women-International annual conference in San Diego, I was excited to hear that she had accomplished this dream of hers. So, I wanted to make you aware of this avenue of potential support and healing. This episode is an additional avenue for you to learn about Sirona, what they offer, and what they plan to offer in the future. To contact Sirona Healing Center, check out their website at: Or, call them direct at: 858-304-HEAL (4325) Thank you for tuning in to this very important episode.

This is an episode of massive importance. My deepest thanks to my guest, Becky Nulle, who endured horrific experiences of rape and sexual assault from multiple perpetrators, one of which was the Deputy Superintendent of Chicago Schools, James Moffat, in the late 70's and early 80's. Becky was one of 5 victims that suffered rape and sexual assault from Moffat who was finally charged and prosecuted in the mid-80's.   But Becky's story starts with parents who, as she puts it, were neglectful. Becky was victimized by bullies at school, vulnerable, and easy prey to “Darrel” who promised her protection but became her first sexual abuser. He was also the person who trafficked Becky to Moffat. And then, as a result of Becky searching for safety and connection, she fell victim to several other adults who took advantage of Becky's vulnerability and exposure on the streets of Chicago.  This story is tragic…and yet triumphant. Because Becky sought out help and healing. And found it through her therapist, Jan Spangler, who introduced Becky to brainspotting, a very effective trauma therapy method, according to Becky.  She says that brainspotting saved her life, helping her recognize and deal with her hidden traumas, saved her marriage, and provided her with the ability to pursue her bachelor's degree, as well as the pathway of writing a book.  The book is Anger, Alcohol, and Healing through Brainspotting, now available for pre-release ordering. ( Becky also provided me with a brief bio that I want to include: Becky Nulle is a soon to be published author and a volunteer who helps the Hmong community in Northern Wisconsin. She is a Sexual Assault/Rape Survivor of James Moffat, a powerful man who was second in charge of the Chicago Public School System at one time. Becky is married, has a Doberman and eight ducks. She is currently working on her Bachelors Degree in Communications. This is an episode that you'll not want to miss. And I encourage you to copy the link to this episode and share it with family, friends, and acquaintances. The impact will help bring justice to victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault, and help educate those who listen in. And, it may just save someone's life. This episode is filled with substance, reflection, and a deep commitment to the healing process. It's a powerful reminder that survivor stories don't stop when the episode is over—and that advocacy can take many forms, including quiet reflection. This one is for every voice that hasn't been heard yet—and every listener who's ready to believe, support, and speak up.

After years of putting it off (and for WHAT?) we finally deep dive into this cult classic, The Princess Bride. Starring Cary Elwes, Robin Wright and Mandy Patinkin. We... Loved it. The DRAMA, the BETRAYAL, the SASS, the ACTION, the romance. Ok, so the romance isn't the point here. And this DID take place a long time ago, so we can't blame Buttercup for not seeing the red flag. She didn't know to be looking for them.

In this solo episode of Sexual Assault Survivor Stories (The SASS Podcast), host Dave Markel takes the mic alone to deliver a powerful, reflective, and informative monologue. While there's no guest again this week, the episode is anything but empty. Instead, it offers a thoughtful exploration of recent survivor stories making headlines, along with an in-depth look at survivor-led advocacy, cultural change, and resources for healing. Dave begins by spotlighting three courageous individuals: Alex Cooper, host of Call Her Daddy, who recently spoke out about the harassment she endured as a Division I athlete at Boston University; Tina Johnson, a Roy Moore accuser whose home was destroyed under suspicious circumstances after she came forward; and Nicky Campbell, a UK broadcaster whose disclosure of childhood abuse sparked a wave of similar testimonies from others silenced for decades. Each of these stories reveals the complex layers of trauma—ranging from institutional betrayal to physical triggers—and illustrates how public disclosures can ignite change and connection. The episode also honors the work of prominent survivor-advocates like Amanda Nguyen, founder of , who authored the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act (passed unanimously by Congress in 2016). Nguyen's legislation has inspired over 67 similar laws across the U.S., while her global What Were You Wearing? exhibits continue to dismantle victim-blaming narratives in powerful and public ways. Also highlighted is Chanel Miller, formerly known as “Emily Doe” in the Brock Turner case, whose viral victim impact statement and bestselling memoir, Know My Name, redefined the survivor's voice in modern discourse. This episode closes by offering a collection of vital resources for survivors. If you or someone you know is in need of support, please reach out: ·       – 24/7 hotline: 800-656-HOPE ·       – Support specifically for male survivors ·       – Education and national hotline for harassment survivors ·       – Survivor-led legislative training and advocacy ·       Even without a traditional interview, this episode is filled with substance, reflection, and a deep commitment to the healing process. It's a powerful reminder that survivor stories don't stop when the mic does—and that advocacy can take many forms, including quiet reflection. This one is for every voice that hasn't been heard yet—and every listener who's ready to believe, support, and speak up.

(00:00-35:31) When you have an invite from this show, you seize the moment. Players forgetting about day games. Swiping right means how you doin'? Doc Ellis. Breaking news regarding the Real Housewives of TMA. Green light, baby. St. Louis high school famous alumni. Taking submissions for RHWOFTMA. Pissing off Scott Bakula's brother. Bruce Hornsby. Turn it on, and break off the knob. Heigh ho, I'm on my sybian. Mark calls in to workshop RHWOTMA with Doug. Making his way around the dais. Mark's call isn't being received well.(35:39-54:26) In honor of the OIlers and SGA it's Canadian artists day for Jackson's music theme. Oilers come back and get game one. Audio of the game winner in OT. Is Marchand the most annoying player in the league? Mountainhead. Jackson doesn't like the star system. Pump the brakes on your take. Sgt. Major Rose on the phone lines.(54:36-1:05:55) That Celine Dion can warble. Dan Janson is on the phone lines. Golf challenges are made. Another unpopular phone call. It's like listening to a live kidnapping.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
