Podcasts about seventeen

Tuesday marks a turning point in the Nick Reiner case. The 32-year-old son of legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner will stand before a judge and, for the first time, enter a plea on two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances.Everyone watching knows what's coming. Defense attorney Alan Jackson has spent three weeks telegraphing it. "Very complex and serious issues." A sealed mental health order. A client who appeared in court in a suicide smock after failing to receive medical clearance the day before.Not guilty by reason of insanity.But what does that defense actually require in California? It's not enough to be mentally ill. It's not enough to have schizophrenia, which sources confirm Nick was diagnosed with years ago. Under the M'Naghten standard, the defense must prove he either didn't understand the nature of stabbing his parents to death, or didn't know it was wrong.That's a high bar. And prosecutors have ammunition. Nick's own words — recorded on podcasts — show a man who knew how to manipulate systems and people. Seventeen rehab programs gamed. Parents convinced to ignore experts. A calculated campaign to remain in their lives despite every warning.Can you claim insanity for a single night while demonstrating strategic thinking for seventeen years?Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to break down the legal mechanics of what's coming. The two-phase trial process. How psychiatric testimony works. What happens if the defense actually wins — and whether Nick Reiner could ever walk free.The arraignment is just the beginning.

The night before he died, Rob Reiner reportedly told friends at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party: "I'm petrified of Nick. I think my own son can hurt me."He wasn't guessing. He was describing something he'd been living with for years.An LAPD insider said police had responded to the Reiner home "quite a few" times over the years for incidents involving Nick. A neighbor told the New York Post this wasn't the first time Nick had been violent. Professionals had reportedly warned the family. Nick himself admitted on podcasts to manipulating his parents, gaming rehab programs, and convincing them to trust him over the experts.Everyone saw the warning signs. No one could stop what was coming.California's mental health laws are designed to protect individual liberty — but they leave families like the Reiners with almost no options. You can't force an adult into treatment unless they're about to hurt someone right now. A 5150 hold gives you 72 hours before they walk out. Conservatorship takes years to obtain and has to be renewed annually.Rob and Michele did everything they could. Millions on treatment. Seventeen rehab programs. Keeping Nick close because the alternative was watching him die on the streets. And in the end, their son allegedly murdered them anyway.Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to talk about what law enforcement sees in cases like this — the repeated calls, the escalating incidents, the families begging for help. When officers respond to a home over and over, what can they actually do? And why does the system keep failing the people it's supposed to protect?This is the conversation about everything that happened before the crime.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #HiddenKillers #WarningSigns #MentalHealth #TrueCrime #LPSAct #California #FamilyTragedyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two cases. Two teenagers. Two very different paths through the justice system—both now marked by delay and uncertainty.Seventeen-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick was expected to head toward trial in Carroll County, Georgia, accused of killing her mother, Kristin, and stepfather, James Brock, while they slept in their home. Instead, her case has been delayed—prolonging questions that have lingered for months.Sarah's five-year-old sister discovered the bodies. Sarah made the 911 call. In the months that followed, she posted emotional TikToks, contacted true-crime creators, and delivered a funeral eulogy investigators later described as “odd.” After five months, she was arrested. Prosecutors claim they have “mountains of physical and digital evidence.” But publicly available details remain limited: no confirmed murder weapon, no disclosed motive, and no forensic evidence released that definitively places the gun in Sarah's hand. Even her grandfather—who lost his daughter in this case—has said the evidence he's seen does not answer that central question.Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the grand jury investigation involving D4VD continues behind closed doors, with witnesses expected through February. Investigators recovered a chainsaw that appears unused, a burn-cage incinerator still unopened, and a Tesla left parked on a residential street for weeks—containing the decomposing body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her cause of death remains officially listed as “deferred,” but prosecutors are actively building a case.Los Angeles prosecutor Beth Silverman is pressing forward as pressure mounts around D4VD's inner circle. His manager testified before the grand jury for days. A key female witness failed to appear and now faces a body attachment order. Properties have reportedly been transferred. Tours canceled. Projects paused. And D4VD himself has gone silent.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to break down what investigators are actually seeing in both cases—the evidence that exists, the evidence that doesn't, and what it means when prosecutors move forward with circumstantial cases involving teenagers while timelines stretch and public scrutiny intensifies.This isn't about social media narratives. It's about what prosecutors believe they can prove—and what juries may eventually be asked to decide.#SarahGracePatrick #D4VD #CelesteRivas #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #GrandJury #FBIAnalysis #CriminalCasesJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nick Reiner is facing two counts of first-degree murder for allegedly stabbing his parents — legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele — to death in their Brentwood home. His defense attorney is already signaling an insanity plea, pointing to schizophrenia and a medication change weeks before the killings. The narrative being built is that Nick was failed by a broken system. But Nick's own words tell a different story. On the Dopey podcast, Nick admitted to gaming rehab — staying sober just long enough to get out, then going right back to using. He described stealing OxyContin from a sick elderly woman who needed it for pain. His words: "You throw your morals out the window." He spent reportedly seventeen rehab stints manipulating counselors, deceiving his parents, and convincing Rob and Michele that the experts were wrong and he was right. Rob Reiner said exactly that in interviews — that he regretted trusting the professionals over his son. He didn't realize what that trust actually was: successful manipulation by an addict who'd been running the same play since he was fifteen years old. The night before the killings, Rob reportedly told friends at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party: "I'm petrified of Nick. I think my own son can hurt me." By the next afternoon, Rob and Michele were dead. An insanity defense treats this crime like it happened in a vacuum. It didn't. Seventeen years of choices led to that bedroom. Every gamed rehab. Every stolen pill. Every lie. Nick Reiner made those choices. And now his parents are dead. The arraignment is January 7th. Prosecutors haven't decided whether to seek the death penalty. This is accountability — seventeen years late, but finally arriving. #nickreiner  #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #ReinerMurder #TrueCrime #TrueCrime2025 #MurderCase #Hollywood #Accountability #BreakingNews Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ ​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob and Michele Reiner spent nearly two decades trying to save their son. Seventeen rehab stays. Constant supervision. A guest house on their property so they could keep him close and try to manage the chaos. Every possible resource love, money, access, and opportunity could provide. And still, on December 15, 2025, they were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Their son, Nick Reiner, now faces charges in their killings. This is not a story about parents who missed the warning signs. It's about parents who lived with those signs for eighteen years and had no legal way to act on them. In this in-depth conversation, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines what was likely unfolding inside the Reiner family long before that final night. She breaks down why Nick Reiner's own words — that drugs were never about getting high but about “killing the noise” — point to deeper psychological distress that traditional rehab often fails to address. We explore what happens to parents psychologically when they've exhausted every option yet remain trapped in proximity to a volatile adult child, and why wealth and access offered no real protection. The discussion then widens to a second chilling case: the Mickey Stines tragedy in Kentucky, where a sheriff fatally shot a judge inside his own courthouse after weeks of visible psychological unraveling. Witnesses described paranoia, severe sleep deprivation, rapid weight loss, delusional beliefs, and an alarming phone call to a deceased relative on the day of the incident. Coworkers saw it. Friends saw it. Authorities saw it. And still, no intervention stopped what followed. Together, these cases expose a painful reality: in the United States, families and communities often recognize danger long before the law allows action. Competent adults cannot be forced into treatment. Intervention requires “imminent danger,” a threshold that frequently isn't crossed until lives are already lost. This conversation isn't about excusing violence or assigning blame. It's about confronting the limits of love, the failures baked into mental-health and commitment laws, and the impossible position families are placed in when respecting autonomy means risking their own safety. If you've ever wondered how people can do everything right and still end up here, this episode offers uncomfortable — but necessary — answers. #ReinerMurders #NickReiner #MickeyStines #JudgeKevinMullins #TrueCrime #MentalHealthCrisis #SystemicFailure #CrimePsychology #FamilyViolence #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Steven Callahan survived seventy-six days in the Atlantic Ocean after his sailboat sank. He managed to escape on a life raft, surviving in the open water on fish that he speared, some rainwater, and the basic equipment he managed to salvage from his boat. Seventeen-year-old Juliane Koepcke was the sole survivor of a plane crash in an Amazon rainforest. She trekked the jungle for eleven days, dealing with wild animals, insects, and hunger. Both people understood the desperation of survival when provisions fell short. It takes a certain kind of person with strong instincts and a relentless will to live to survive the elements in solitude and uncertainty. Those with less tenacity would surrender to certain destruction, but these two kept struggling, clinging to the hope that they would persevere. Steven Callahan survived seventy-six days in the Atlantic Ocean after his sailboat sank. He managed to escape on a life raft, surviving in the open water on fish that he speared, some rainwater, and the basic equipment he managed to salvage from his boat.” Rewind a few thousand years and you'll find an obscure prophet of God living through threats, a divine drought, and devastating circumstances. This prophet burst onto the Bible scene as quickly as he departed on a chariot of fire. His name, Elijah, wouldn't be obscure for long. This first chapter of his story gives us a glimpse of how we can trust God when provisions fall short.

Competent adults cannot be forced into treatment. Intervention requires “imminent danger,” a threshold that frequently isn't crossed until lives are already lost. This conversation isn't about excusing violence or assigning blame. It's about confronting the limits of love, the failures baked into mental-health and commitment laws, and the impossible position families are placed in when respecting autonomy means risking their own safety. If you've ever wondered how people can do everything right and still end up here, this episode offers uncomfortable — but necessary — answers. #ReinerMurders #NickReiner #MickeyStines #JudgeKevinMullins #TrueCrime #MentalHealthCrisis #SystemicFailure #CrimePsychology #FamilyViolence #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob and Michele Reiner spent nearly two decades trying to save their son. Seventeen rehab stays. Constant supervision. A guest house on their property so they could keep him close and try to manage the chaos. Every possible resource love, money, access, and opportunity could provide. And still, on December 15, 2025, they were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Their son, Nick Reiner, now faces charges in their killings. This is not a story about parents who missed the warning signs. It's about parents who lived with those signs for eighteen years and had no legal way to act on them. In this in-depth conversation, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines what was likely unfolding inside the Reiner family long before that final night. She breaks down why Nick Reiner's own words — that drugs were never about getting high but about “killing the noise” — point to deeper psychological distress that traditional rehab often fails to address. We explore what happens to parents psychologically when they've exhausted every option yet remain trapped in proximity to a volatile adult child, and why wealth and access offered no real protection. The discussion then widens to a second chilling case: the Mickey Stines tragedy in Kentucky, where a sheriff fatally shot a judge inside his own courthouse after weeks of visible psychological unraveling. Witnesses described paranoia, severe sleep deprivation, rapid weight loss, delusional beliefs, and an alarming phone call to a deceased relative on the day of the incident. Coworkers saw it. Friends saw it. Authorities saw it. And still, no intervention stopped what followed.

Rob and Michele Reiner spent eighteen years trying to save their son. Seventeen rehab facilities. A feature film about his addiction. A guest house on their property so they could watch over him. And still, on December 15th, 2025, they were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Nick Reiner, 32, has been charged with their murders. This isn't a case about parents who didn't see it coming. It's about parents who saw it coming for nearly two decades and couldn't stop it. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott has spent thirty years working with families in crisis, perpetrators of violence, and people trapped in cycles of addiction and mental illness. She's the author of "Nightbird" and "The Minds of Mass Killers," and in this interview, she breaks down what was likely happening inside the Reiner family long before that final night. We discuss why Nick's own words — that his drug use was never about the drugs, but about "killing the noise" — reveal something critical about what treatment was missing. We examine what happens to parents psychologically when they've exhausted every resource and still live in proximity to a volatile adult child. We look at why wealth and access to the best facilities offered essentially no protection. And we explore the warning signs that families often see but can't bring themselves to act on — because acting means treating your own child as a threat. If you've ever wondered how a family can do everything right and still end up here, this conversation offers uncomfortable answers. The Reiners aren't a cautionary tale about neglect. They're a cautionary tale about the limits of love when you're up against something love can't fix. #RobReiner #NickReiner #TrueCrime #FamilyViolence #AddictionRecovery #MentalHealthCrisis #ShavaunScott #Parricide #CrimePsychology #HollywoodTragedy Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob Reiner was 78 years old. His wife Michele was 68. And on the last night of their lives, they brought their 32-year-old son Nick to a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house because they needed to "keep an eye on him." That's not parenting. That's surveillance. That's what the mental health system in America leaves families with when their adult children are in crisis — no legal authority, no institutional support, no options. Just proximity. Just hoping your presence is enough to keep things from going sideways. It wasn't. Less than 24 hours later, Rob and Michele were dead. Throats slit. Found by their daughter in a home decorated for Christmas. Nick Reiner had been struggling since he was a teenager. First rehab at 15. Seventeen treatment programs by age 19. Homeless in three different states. His parents threw everything they had at the problem — money, connections, access to the best programs in the country. Michele told friends in recent months: "We've tried everything." They had. For 17 years. And the system gave them nothing in return. In America, if your adult child is mentally ill, addicted, or dangerous, your options are essentially zero. You can beg them to get help. You can pay for treatment. But unless they meet a narrow legal threshold — "imminent danger to self or others" — you cannot force them to accept care. Their autonomy is protected. Your safety is not. The Reiners lived this nightmare for nearly two decades. They followed the protocols. They trusted the experts. They did everything right by the system's standards. And the system still failed them — because it's designed to manage liability, not treat illness. This video is a deep dive into how America's mental health laws turn families into hostages. How the deinstitutionalization movement of the 1960s emptied psychiatric hospitals without replacing them with anything better. How jails became our largest mental health facilities. And how families like the Reiners are left to manage impossible situations with no training, no authority, and no way out. The Reiners had every advantage. It didn't save them. Until we reform a system that prioritizes philosophy over outcomes, it won't save anyone else either. #RobReiner #MentalHealthCrisis #MentalHealthReform #TrueCrime #MicheleSingerReiner #NickReiner #Addiction #MentalIllness #FamiliesInCrisis #Deinstitutionalization #5150 #HostageFamilies #SystemFailure #MentalHealthAwareness Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Seventeen-year-old Jaxon Cover is skating his way into the spotlight with the London Knights, earning attention as one of the top prospects for the 2026 NHL Draft. Mustang Track Club'S Aaliyannah Anderson was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Indoor Track Athlete of the Week, following a dominant showing at the Indiana Early Bird Meet .Cayman officials Referees Kadane Hall and Gregory Hamilton were selected to officiate the finals of the Caribbean Cup 3×3 Basketball Tournament in Bahamas.The 2025 Appleby Under-18 High School Football Leagues wrapped up this week with two familiar names lifting silverware.

As a follow-up to our deep dive into Drew Barrymore's pivotal year of 1993, we're zooming in on two truly iconic magazine moments that helped define her image during that era. This week, we break down her May 1993 Seventeen cover and editorial—featuring a dreamy, beatnik-inspired spread shot by longtime collaborator Matthew Rolston—before getting into June 1993 Vogue, where Drew hits Coney Island in a playful, unforgettable shoot marking her first collaboration with Ellen von Unwerth.Together, these features paint a fascinating snapshot of Drew at 18, with revealing interviews that touch on her painful breakup with Jamie Walters, her 1940s meets 1970s personal style, and her habit of consulting dream dictionaries. It's a treasure trove of '90s nostalgia and insight into a star in the middle of a major reinvention.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our ⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit us on the web:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@howdoyoudrewpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠howdoyoudrew.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@drewseum⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thedrewseum.com⁠⁠

Allen covers a federal judge striking down the US wind energy moratorium, calling it arbitrary and capricious. Plus Maryland opens offshore wind bids for 8.5 gigawatts, Great British Energy announces a £1 billion supply chain investment, and Nordex lands its largest US turbine deal in 25 years with Alliant Energy in Iowa. Sign up now for Uptime Tech News, our weekly email update on all things wind technology. This episode is sponsored by Weather Guard Lightning Tech.

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes’ YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! You know… they said wind power was finished. On day one of the new administration, an executive order landed on desks across Washington. Stop the turbines. Halt the permits. Shut it down. Seventeen states watched their clean energy investments… billions of dollars… suddenly frozen. The order called it a pause. Critics called it a burial. But here is what happened next. Federal Judge Patti Saris of Massachusetts looked at that order. She called it arbitrary. She called it capricious. And on December ninth… she threw it out. Wind energy… is back. The very next day after that federal judge struck down the wind moratorium… Maryland issued a new invitation for offshore wind bids. The state wants eight-point-five gigawatts of offshore wind by twenty thirty-one. Deadline for proposals… January sixteenth. You see… wind power now provides ten percent of America’s electricity. It is the United States’ largest source of renewable energy. Now… three thousand miles across the Atlantic… something else was stirring. In Britain, a state-owned company called Great British Energy unveiled a one billion pound plan. That is more than one-point-two billion dollars. Three hundred million pounds available right now… for turbine blades, transmission cables, and converter stations. The goal… not just to install clean energy… but to build it. On British soil. With British workers. CEO Dan McGrail put it simply. We are investing in British industry. Now… back here at home… in the cornfields of Iowa. The Nordex Group just announced the largest turbine deal in its twenty-five-year American history. Up to one hundred ninety wind turbines. Manufactured in West Branch, Iowa. That facility reopened just this past July. The customer… Alliant Energy. The capacity… more than one thousand megawatts. Enough electricity to power hundreds of thousands of homes. CEO Lisa Barton said they chose a local provider on purpose. “This decision promotes substantial economic development throughout our service area.” Development continues in the US for onshore and offshore wind — although it will take more time offshore wind to grow. But pay attention to what is happening in the UK with GB Energy as offshore and onshore wind production is being built within its borders. Having attended the UK Offshore Wind Supply Chain Spotlight 2025 event in Edinburgh last week, there is massive capability in the UK. And the rest of the world should learn from their efforts. That’s the wind energy news for the 15th of December 2025. Join us tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.

Daniel Squadron and Melissa Walker are an unexpected duo. Formerly a New York State Senator, Daniel Squadron represented New York’s 25th and 26th districts for almost ten years. After leaving public office, Squadron co-founded a civic engagement initiative called The States Project - of which he is currently President. Melissa Walker was formerly a magazine editor and journalist published in countless magazines such as Seventeen, Glamour, Teen Vogue, The NY Observer, and New York Magazine. Walker has also authored 10 young adult novels. After a fateful meeting at a holiday party, the two began working together on The State’s Project’s Giving Circles program, co-founded by Walker. The Giving Circles has engaged more than 35,000 donors and raised tens of millions of dollars since its formation in 2018 and works within the States Project to shift the balance of power in state legislatures - ultimately leading to greater political change nationwide.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The flu shot can protect you from potential heart harm and it can help you to avoid health complications from other chronic diseases.

Handing over a project is one of the most underestimated and misunderstood phases in manufacturing and industrial automation. In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, Vlad and Dave sit down to break apart real stories from the field covering MES rollouts, line commissioning, SCADA and ignition development, operational adoption, and the very real consequences of poor knowledge transfer. Most conversations online focus on the technical build, but very few people emphasize the point where engineering lets go and the operations team becomes the true owner of the system. This episode brings forward examples of both well executed handovers and catastrophic failures that every engineer, integrator, or manager can learn from.Vlad begins by walking through his experience building MES and data collection systems for food and beverage facilities where each plant had different architectures, legacy systems, undocumented networks, and obsolete PLCs. These initiatives required deep assessments, phased modernization, server deployments, KPI development, and the long journey from data collection to actual operational use. The most important insight is that success rarely comes from the technology alone. It comes from the extent to which operators, supervisors, and CI teams are trained, empowered, and aligned to use what has been built.Dave then shares a story from a multi year track and trace project that technically worked but failed at the operational handover stage because the one scheduler refused to schedule inside the system. The entire project was mothballed despite millions of dollars invested. The lesson is simple. Technology cannot compensate for missing stakeholder alignment and poor discovery. Human influence can halt even the most well engineered solution.Timestamps 00:00 Welcome and episode setup 01:20 Host introductions and backgrounds 04:00 Vlad's MES and data rollout projects across multiple plants 18:10 Biggest wins and failures from MES handovers 26:20 Dave's chocolate factory MES and traceability project 29:30 The scheduler says no and a multi million project gets mothballed 36:40 Lessons learned about scope creep and realistic timelines 42:00 Vlad's multimillion packaging line rollouts and OEE based handover 49:20 Internal versus external teams and who really owns change 58:50 Connected workforce at an orange juice plant and knowledge capture 01:15:00 Where project handovers are heading in the next three to five years 01:19:00 Career advice, books, and final thoughts HostsVladimir RomanovFounder of Joltek.

Isabella Young is a pioneering educator, healer and truth-seeker whose life journey is nothing short of wow. Seventeen years ago, she escaped from a messianic cult after her son was murdered to prevent the cult leader (her ex-husband) from being exposed as a pedophile, rapist and conman. And daringly, we are putting his name here as he is still practicing: Louix Dor Demprey. She was in the cult eight, harsh years. We discuss her knowing that all of this was spiritual (taking full responsibility for her soul). We also speak of AI, the demonic truths of the world and at the end we really get into the power of nature from the sun to grounding. She speaks of this thoroughly in the "Just Be Practice." OOo and then there is also raising the prism.Isabella's Links:Website: https://feelingbetternaturally.loveYouTube: Feeling Better Naturally - https://www.youtube.com/@feelingbetternaturally.natureSubstack: https://feelingbetternaturally.substack.com*Host Eden Koz is a soul realignment specialist utilizing psychological empathy, intuition, psychic ability, mediumship, meditation, mindset shift, Reiki, dimensional and galactic healing, to name a few.

7/8 The Unfilial Son and the Trauma of Informing — Tanya Branigan — This segment recounts the 1970 execution of Fu Zhong Mo, a devoted Communist Party member who was denounced following her criticism of Mao. Her seventeen-year-old son, Jiang Hong Bing, informed state authorities against his mother, subordinating filial obligation to worship of Mao Zedong. Fu was publicly executed, and her corpse was subsequently moved multiple times by authorities. Jiang lives with severe guilt, characterizing himself as an "unfilial son" and tormented by the knowledge that he and his father directly facilitated her judicial murder. 1967 SHANGHAI

Well, that Sidwell is not a nice fellow. Having dear Rocco roughed up in juvie. Not cool. And Britt has got herself in quite a situation. Meanwhile, Willow is back with Drew. Awful. The good news is Liesl has helped Willow and Nina patch things up, so Willow could probably convince Nina to shoot Drew for her if she starts feeling a little hemmed in. And poor Portia should just get out of town. Let's see what Nathan turns up now that he's investigating the investigation, which isn't a bad idea when you're dealing with the PCPD.  #mauricebenard  #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hillstreetblues #kinshriner  #nicholaschavez #afterlife #rickygervais #hallandoates #superstore #freaksandgeeks #freefallin #alanarkin #newgirl #lamornemorris #colonoscopy #takethenap #alleymills #billylibby #chickadee #fortgorgeous #robertgossett #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #marcuscoloma #useastaplegun #riptwitch #ripepiphany #ripsonyaeddy  #waywardchickadee #barshampoo #ripmiffy #lovedogs #justinebateman #brookeshields #neilgaiman #dnice #cq #deborahcox #malcolmjamalwarner #lume #godzillaminusone #ripjacklynzeman #jasonmomoa #adambelanoff #thecloser #majorcrimes #wings #murphybrown #thecosbyshow #pinkalicious #ripbillymiller #ripmatthewperry #riptylerchristopher #riplesliecharleson #ripandrebraugher #ripjohnnywactor #dutchbarnvodka #chadduell #rickygervaisrobot #colinfromaccounts

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants to share their journey with others. Today's former participant is Chris Kelley. Chris shares his honest journey from growing up in Cape Cod's party culture, to court-ordered detox and time in county jail as a teenager, to finally entering long-term recovery at 29. Now 15 years sober and the Executive Director of Berkshire Transition Network, Chris talks with Joanna about the deeper emotional work behind recovery, the moment his “dam broke,” and how community, self-inquiry, and aligned purpose shaped the life he leads today. It's a grounded, thoughtful conversation about transformation, trauma, and what “the work” really looks like. Chris also reflects on how unlearning old patterns became just as essential as building new ones.NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey.

This is the evening All Local for November 21st, 2025.

"I am gonna do what I wanna do! And you know what? I don't need your permission to do it!"What if your grandparents magically turned back into teenagers, and they were so hot that it caused chaos in your high school? And what if you look exactly like your grandma did at your age, so this magical regression inspires some twin magic hijinks? This week, The Wives Colangelo are joined by Aaron Perine of Free Space to talk about the only movie to feature all three Mowry siblings, SEVENTEEN AGAIN. Let's talk about the Tia/Tamera/Tahj trifecta, the lack of "fun" coming-of-age movies with Black protagonists, and outline all of the moments that explain why this movie was made by Showtime and not the Disney Channel.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTDONATE TO YOUR LOCAL FOOD BANKS.

A chainsaw mounted to a sword. Seventeen pumpkins in a minute. And a philosophy that says a show only becomes real when the audience completes it. That's the ride we take with Jelly Boy the Clown—writer, record-setter, and sideshow artist who turns chaos into craft.We start with the surprise aftermath of America's Got Talent: millions of viewers, zero promotion allowed, and a door opening from an unexpected direction—Guinness World Records. From there we go inside the workshop, where ideas live first in a sketchbook, then on a bench with bolts and cork, and finally on stage. Why pumpkins beat watermelons, how to create negative space with pitchforks, and what three points of contact do for stability when the saw is humming in your throat. It's engineering, rehearsal, and risk management wrapped in clown logic.The heart of the talk is presentation. Tools are level one; meaning lives in timing, character, and framing. Jelly Boy shares how he disarms fear—pairing eye hooks with Careless Whisper, mixing menace with sincerity—so the audience leans in. We dig into act architecture: the tennis racket routine evolving through constraints, failed slapstick reappearing later as the perfect chaos engine, and why variety beats repetition for laughs and suspense. Along the way, we trace his films—from a B-movie to a raw fire-recovery doc to Dark Imagination Party—capturing how the pandemic pushed the work from stages to cameras and back again.Threaded through is our host's upcoming book, Facing The Other Way, a philosophy of showmanship that frames performance as a three-part system: performer, audience, and attention. Without a witness, magic isn't magic. That idea lands as we talk edits, cuts, and voice—how slicing fifty pages can reveal the core, why a unified tone matters, and how community and small presses help art find its people. If you care about live arts, circus, clowning, sword swallowing, or the creative process of turning rough sketches into resonant moments, this one's for you.If the conversation hits home, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review.
