Mike Chisholm from The Letterman Podcast pops in.The guys open by reacting to the Olympic hockey final, with Mike congratulating the U.S. teams and describing how big the game was in Canada, including early-morning watch parties on the West Coast, memories of the 2010 “golden goal,” and the emotional tribute involving Johnny Gaudreau's jersey and children. They also discuss a Nor'easter impacting the U.S. Northeast, comparing it to past storms and noting school closures and safety restrictions.The main focus is Mike's trip to Vancouver for Just For Laughs where he met David Letterman at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre stage door. Mike describes the advice to meet heroes with zero expectations, Letterman's quick wisecracks with fans, and how he got a selfie and a signed cue card. He recounts Letterman's comment when asked to perform a joke (“If I was any good at performing jokes, I'd still have a show”) and notes Letterman and team were late for rehearsal. Mike also unexpectedly met Paul Shaffer, who returned later for selfies and conversation, including a reference to “Mr. Humidity.”John floats a theory that Letterman is up to something.  Going to Vancouver AND having Shaffer there doesn't make sense.00:23 Olympic Hockey Reactions01:02 Nor'easter Explained03:06 How Big Was the Game07:21 Hockey Culture and Drama09:37 Join the USA Pitch10:30 Meeting Letterman Setup11:56 Advice on Meeting Heroes16:08 Fans and Parasocial Media21:14 Why the Show Wasn't Recorded25:32 Stage Door Arrival Details29:19 Selfie and Cue Card Signed33:31 Surprise Paul Shaffer Encounter35:40 Mr Humidity Deep Cut36:49 Why Zach Was Picked37:14 Curated Show Breakdown40:43 Dave Opens With Canada45:46 O Canada With Paul47:00 Why JFL Vancouver49:35 Festival Blueprint Theory52:32 Ed Sullivan Conspiracy56:26 Which Dave Shows Up01:04:36 Zach Dead Mom Bit01:10:41 Paul Closes With Reigning Men01:12:37 Festival Small Room Magic01:14:06 Final Thanks And WrapBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

This is an edited podcast from 2024 where we spoke to the recently departed film producer Fred Roos. A close friend to Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside, Jennifer had no idea who we were interviewing until midway through the podcast.  Fred had messages for many of his close friends, and in one instance I was able to pass that message along at his funeral. In this podcast, he has a message for Sophia and Francis Coppola, his long time pals, as well as Harrison Ford who's career he started. At his funeral Harrison said "Without Fred I wouldn't be here." Also a number of other people show up, including his pal Harry Dean Stanton (a skeptic and atheists whom Jennifer and I interviewed when he crossed over.) There are appearances by many people Fred knew, including Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams, also Aretha Franklin and Christopher Reeves. We do this podcast to show that anyone can speak to their loved ones offstage. It just so happens that I knew Fred Roos for four decades, and met him in his office at Zoetrope back in the day. We stayed pals over the years, he was always kind and generous with me - and he was a huge pal to Robert Towne and Luana Anders as well as Jack Nicholson. None of these names in this podcast are "name dropping" when we're talking to the source. These were all friends of his, and I have met most of them - including the one he references - the reincarnation of James Dean. Fred worked with this person, and while we don't mention the name - because the person whom Jennifer and I both interviewed for hours - knows that they are the reincarnation of James Dean, have known that their whole lives - but chooses not to share it with people. Like I say, this is another of the Best Of podcasts that we've done. (Jennifer is currently swamped with clients and folks who need her help.) Enjoy.

Pressure. If you let it, it'll OWN you. Hijack your mind. Speed up your heart. Leave you spiraling before you even make a move. Ever think you can just "gut it out" in pressure situations? That rarely works. And the truth is, pressure isn't the problem. Your perspective is. That's why I brought mental performance expert, Dr. Cory Shaffer, onto the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. Cory has trained Navy Special Operators, pro athletes, executives, and the nation's top athletic programs. He's made his mark teaching elite performers how to shrink the pressure moments down to size and manage the moment before the moment manages them. So if you're tired of pressure fueling your doubt, and you're ready to step into those high-stakes moments with calm, clarity, and COMMAND, then lock into this episode! In this episode, you'll hear: How to manage pressure by shifting your perspective instead of letting it control you Why meditation is a practical tool for presence and preparation Simple reflection practices busy executives and athletes can use to separate work from home life The dangers of "bro science" and how to filter out bad advice from true performance principles The power of the 20-Mile March and why consistent effort beats unsustainable sprints How small daily habits add up to long-term growth, confidence, and sustained success KEY QUOTES "The better you understand the variables that were present when you had success, the more likely you can replicate that success." – Dr. Cory Shaffer "The tortoise won the race because he stayed disciplined to the task at hand." – Dr. Cory Shaffer "Leverage your technology to work for you instead of against you." – Dr. Cory Shaffer CONNECT WITH CORY X: https://x.com/coryshafferphd LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-shaffer-1a09816/ Website: https://www.youandkin.com/ CONNECT WITH J.R.

Ever feel like you're winning on the scoreboard… but losing in the locker room? You're productive. Disciplined. Respected. You execute at a high level professionally. But at home? You're distracted. Short-tempered. Mentally checked out. Present… but not really there. Here's the hard truth: Performance without alignment creates internal friction. And friction, over time, costs you the very things you say matter most. In this episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, we break down what's really happening when high-performing men dominate in one arena of life but drift in another. Because this isn't a time-management issue. It's an identity issue. And until you close the gap between who you are at work and who you are at home… you'll keep feeling that low-grade tension you can't quite explain. If you're serious about building a thriving family without sacrificing excellence — this one's for you. In this episode, you'll hear:   Why compartmentalizing your life is silently draining your energy and impact The real reason high achievers struggle to "turn it off" at home How identity leakage creates disconnection in marriage and fatherhood A practical framework to transition from performance mode to presence mode The leadership standard your family actually needs from you KEY QUOTES "Pressure becomes overwhelming when the moment controls you instead of you controlling the moment." – Dr. Cory Shaffer "Just because someone claims they're an expert doesn't mean they are. There's a difference between science and bro science." – Dr. Cory Shaffer "Do you want it to look good, or do you want it to work?" – Dr. Cory Shaffer "Winning isn't about sprinting. It's about showing up tomorrow with enough energy to do it again." – J.R. CONNECT WITH DR.

Steve Bisciotti says the Ravens want to work out an extension with Lamar Jackson, but if they can't get it done, they will clear up cap space with void years. How long do they have to wait before they reach that emergency scenario?

Ravens beat reporter for The Baltimore Banner Jonas Shaffer joins the show to discuss the Ravens offseason so far. He also touched on Super Bowl LX and Mike Macdonald winning in Seattle.

If the Ravens want to keep Tyler Linderbaum and other key free agents, they need to clear up some cap space first. Jonas Shaffer joined the guys to explain what's next for Baltimore.

Jennifer and I are getting ready to film a segment at Beyond Belief about all the research regarding Amelia Earhart - so I pulled this file from three years ago to demonstrate that every time Amelia Earhart shows up - she's outside of time as we understand it. Can answer questions about her path and journey - even when I repeat the same questions years apart. For thos familiar with the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA - it was 40 years ago when I started researching her life and journey. It was 30 years ago when I tried to direct a feature film with my friend Rebecca Broussard, who could have been her twin at the time.  Film director Phillip Noyce was going to produce - but for whatever reason, it didn't get off the runway.  However, the story kept coming back to me in various ways - and finally I decided to put together all the research, including a trip to Saipan in 2013 where I found 15 new eyewitnesses to her story - including US Marines who found her Electra on Aslito airfield, who guarded it, watched it test flown and then watched as the military decided to "get it out of the way." And earlier version of the govt covering something up and then pretending for decades that they didn't find it - didn't fly it - didn't recover her briefcase with her passports, maps and charts.  She was never "lost" - the US knew where she was, but because they learned it via the secret codes of the Japanese, they couldn't reveal that they knew. The Japanese knew where she was - and was likely hoping to use her in some fashion, but never got to.  So Jennifer and I are going to talk about her on Gaia, on the Beyond Belief show - and go over the two aspects of getting this story told - the details of forensic research, as well as the details from the Flipside - some of the more incredible clues that she put in front of us to tell her story in a way that's never been told before. The sound is a little screwy - I was on the road at the time we did this podcast, so apologies to those who are tuning in on the car radio - but it is what it is.   Thanks for tuning in!

In this episode, Gina is joined by learning strategist and author Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer for a thoughtful conversation about why change feels so uncomfortable, especially when it comes to health, habits, and weight loss. Together, they unpack how shifting routines around food, portions, and self-talk can trigger feelings of instability, fear, and second-guessing, even when the change is intentional and supportive. Dr. Deena reframes discomfort as a meaningful part of learning and growth, reminding listeners that sustainable progress comes from curiosity, awareness, and changing inputs over time rather than chasing quick fixes.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodwinter2026Where to find Dr. DeenaInstagram: @awakenedlearningWebsite: www.awakenedlearning.caDr. Deena's books:Feel Good LearningRaising Well LearnersTo learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.

Jennifer Shaffer is a medium/intuitive who works with members of law enforcement nationwide, including agents from the FBI, NYPD and LAPD. We met ten years ago and began a conversation that has continued undaunted onto this podcast.   I'm a filmmaker, author who has written 13 books about the afterlife, Jennifer and I met up ten years ago and have been meeting weekly ever since.  We have four books together BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2, 3 and TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE. Jennifer has been instrumental in helping me to get information from people offstage - including #AmeliaEarhart and the book #SheWasNeverLost - the Amelia Earhart saga. In today's podcast we talk to someone that Jennifer didn't know when he was on the planet, but has met and works with members of his family.  In our podcast, he refers to someone who saw him many years ago - someone whom I knew who worked with him.   Upon further reflection, I'm not sure if he was referring to my friend or not - but either way, I knew who Jennifer was referring to.  Steve wanted to speak about AI - and argue that it's not something to fear but something that will enhance the ability of people to think at a faster rate. We talked about the value and pitfalls of that - and he's arguing that people can use it as a tool that it's meant to be used as.   I asked some questions about #Parkinsons (and the show "Shrinking which had an episode about it) as well as my old USC professor the late Coleman Hough who had Parkinsons and appears in the film HACKING THE AFTERLIFE where it vanishes during her six hour interview. We talked about how that is or why that happened, and then talk about the idea that "filters on the brain" (see Dr. Greysons book AFTER pg 125 or DIVINE COUNCILS IN THE AFTERLIFE for a discussion of the research into filters on the brain) might be something to examine, look into as science tries to cure Parkinsons. We reiterate we're asking questions, not giving any medical advice - not medical advice is implied or suggested or given.  However, when talking about the brain and the research involved with looking for "filters on the brain" and how it is that Jennifer's brain is in a "delta state" during her sessions (as proven by MRI's that she has done on camera, and the same results were demonstrated via Dr. Drew and Tyler Henry's MRIs.)  That people who do this kind of mediumship MAY BE stepping past those filters - and that doing so on a daily basis may help or heal parts of the brain. That's the general discussion and we do these discussions to inspire people to do their own. Hope this helps. 

Who should be the next Ravens offensive coordinator? The options are getting thin at this point and it's starting to seem like Baltimore wont be getting their first choice. Jonas Shaffer joined the guys to discuss all the latest news.

Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from Thursday's BBMS to preview Jesse Minter's intro presser with Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Banner.

As usual, another mind bending session. It begins with a visit from Kobe, who mentions some of the work that Jennifer has been doing with his family.  I asked him some questions about his observations of watching NBA players, and he says he plays an active role in terms of helping those who are open to it. He called his "council" his "line up" - the team that we all have that help us when we're navigating the stage. He said he's more likely to work with coaches than individual players. Luana then brought forward JFK jr and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy - whom we've had a brief chat with before, but this time it's a little more indepth.  Asking him what it was like to cross over to the flipside, he said he was someone who didn't know where he was for awhile.. and then his mother brought him that awareness.  I asked him some questions about his opinion of the current administration and he couldn't stop laughing. John McCain (Maverick) stopped by as JFK Jr said he was one of the people who surprised him on the other side - as it wasn't someone he'd have conversed with on the planet, but offstage they were able to talk about John's incarceration and aspects of that part of his journey.  In terms of speaking to Carolyn about who she was surprised to meet on the other side, a question I often ask people, she said she was surprised to meet with Oprah's "higher self." We only bring a portion of our conscious energy to a lifetime - based on the reports - and a larger portion of "who we are" is always "back home." So that included some unusual questions to "Oprah's higher self" about her path and journey and what advice she might give to people listening in. All of it mind bending. But it's what we've been doing for years now, and about six years on our podcast. Enjoy.

Jesse Minter was able to get great results out of Odafe Oweh when he was traded to the Chargers this past season. Would it make sense for him to come back to Baltimore? Jonas Shaffer shared his thoughts on that and more.

A Winter Tradition Takes Root Frederick County's beloved Restaurant Week returns for its fifth anniversary, bringing 26 diverse eateries together for a week-long celebration of local flavor. Running from January 26th through February 1st, 2026, FredCo Eats has evolved from a modest 15-restaurant launch into a cornerstone event that strengthens the entire regional food economy. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Wendy May, Marketing Manager for the Frederick County Economic Development Authority, and Dan Myers, owner of Paladin Bar and Grill, to discuss how this initiative has transformed the local dining landscape. Recording from Paladin's original Stephens City location, the trio explores what makes this year's event particularly special. From COVID Recovery to Community Catalyst The story behind FredCo Eats reveals a strategic response to challenging times. Wendy explains that the Economic Development Authority launched the program five years ago as the region emerged from the pandemic. At that time, the organization recognized a critical gap in their community relationships—they needed stronger connections with local restaurants and agricultural producers. Rather than creating a standalone event, however, the EDA developed FredCo Eats as an umbrella brand. This approach allows the initiative to serve as a messaging hub that elevates existing efforts across the entire food economy, from farm crawls to agricultural conferences. Now, the brand is expanding into a standalone website at fredcoeats.com, which will launch in March as a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to start, scale, or expand a food or beverage business in the region. Diverse Dining Options for Every Palate This year's lineup demonstrates remarkable variety in both cuisine and participation style. Restaurants can choose from three categories: multi-course menus, meal deals, or promotional discounts. This flexibility ensures that food trucks, cafes, and fine dining establishments can all participate in ways that make sense for their operations. Among the multi-course menu participants, diners will find Carrabba's Italian Grill, Clem's Kitchen, Curry Cuisine, P2 at Woolen Mill, Paladin, Sal & Gino's, and Vault and Cellar. Meanwhile, meal deal options include Blue Ridge Baking Company, Daily Buzz Cafe (at both Middletown and Stephens City locations), Donut Dive food truck at Weber's Nursery, and Franklin's Smokin Barnyard, also operating from Weber's parking lot. Additionally, the roster features Jordan Springs Market, Laurel Cafe at Laurel Ridge Community College, Mi Ranchito, Paco's Market and Paco's Mexi Mart, Pan D Endz Jamaican Cuisine, Poblanos, Shaffer's Barbecue and Market, both Shawnee Springs Market locations, and West Oaks Farm Market. Rounding out the list, Bam Bam's Barbecue food truck, Italian Touch, and Touch of Italy offer percentage-off promotions. The Original Gangsters Eight establishments have participated every single year since the program's inception, demonstrating their commitment to the community initiative. Both Paladin locations, Vault and Cellar, Daily Buzz, Jordan Springs Market, Paco's Market, Shaffer's Barbecue, and Bam Bam's Barbecue have been there from day one. Paco's journey particularly exemplifies the growth Restaurant Week has witnessed. Starting as a food truck called Paco's Tacos during the first event, the business has since expanded to include Paco's Market and later Paco's Mexi Mart - a testament to how local food businesses can thrive with community support. Local Sourcing Takes Center Stage Dan shares his enthusiasm about this year's special approach at Paladin. For the fifth anniversary, his team is focusing heavily on local sourcing, partnering with West Oaks Farm Market for beef, Spring Valley Greens, obtaining mushrooms from his cousin Jessica Neff at Apple Hill Farm, and incorporating microgreens from Robbie D's operation. Furthermore, Dan reveals that Paige Cross at Farm to Fork (formerly Flour and Water) in Woodstock supplies all the bread for Paladin's restaurants—a behind-the-scenes collaboration that many diners never realize exists. These partnerships not only enhance menu quality but also circulate dollars throughout the local economy. The Stephens City location will feature meatballs, cast-iron cornbread, and locally sourced ingredients, while P2 in Clearbrook will offer a completely different, yet similar menu, including scotch eggs, bruschetta, mushroom carbonara, and duck—proteins that rarely appear on local menus.  More Than Just a Meal Restaurant Week offers participants the chance to win prizes through a passport program. Diners who collect stamps from three or more participating restaurants can enter drawings for prize packs, with each additional stamp beyond three counting as an extra entry. The more restaurants you visit, the better your chances of winning. Passports are available for download and printing at fredcoeats.com, with limited physical copies available at participating restaurants and the Winchester Frederick County Convention and Visitors Bureau. If diners forget to get a stamp, they can submit a photo or receipt as proof of their visit. Beyond individual participation, the event encourages businesses to support one another. Realty companies and other local businesses often bring lunch back to the office or take their teams out during Restaurant Week, creating a "biz-to-biz" camaraderie that strengthens the entire community. Strategic Timing and Lasting Impact The decision to schedule Restaurant Week during the last week of January proves strategic on multiple levels. This timing addresses the natural lull that restaurants experience after the holiday season but before Valentine's Day, providing a much-needed boost during slower months. Moreover, it gives diners a compelling reason to venture out during cold, dark winter evenings when staying home feels more appealing. For restaurant owners like Dan, the event creates exciting internal dynamics as well. His teams at the Stephens City and Clearbrook locations engage in friendly competition throughout the week, tracking which location sells more of each menu item. This competitive spirit energizes staff and drives creativity in menu development. Wendy notes that over the five years, Restaurant Week has fostered genuine relationships among participating restaurants. What began as simple cross-promotion has evolved into restaurant owners visiting each other's establishments, trying menus, meeting staff, and building lasting professional connections that extend well beyond the event itself. Looking Ahead As FredCo Eats enters its sixth year of planning, the initiative continues expanding its mission. The upcoming fredcoeats.com website will serve as a central hub connecting aspiring food entrepreneurs with resources from the county, state, and federal levels, including financing options, contacts at the Extension office, the Small Business Development Center, and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. This evolution reflects the program's broader vision: creating a sustainable ecosystem where homesteaders can learn to scale their backyard operations, food trucks can transition to brick-and-mortar locations, and established restaurants can continue growing—all while maintaining the unique character that makes Frederick County's food scene special. Registration for future Restaurant Weeks remains open year-round, with the event consistently scheduled for the last Monday of January. As Wendy emphasizes, the more the community supports local establishments, the more these businesses can thrive and maintain the distinctive flavor that sets Frederick County apart. For complete menus, participating restaurant details, and passport downloads, visit fredcoeats.com and follow the event on Facebook and Instagram using #FredCoEats and #FredCoEatsRW.

It's time for a Wednesday edition of Glenn Clark Radio, plenty to go over on the program this morning as we continue to diving into all the potential candidates for the Ravens head coaching vacancy, plus John Harbaugh was introduced to the NY media yesterday, we'll get you updates from there, we have a couple of new Hall of Famers heading to Cooperstown and we will update you on whatever else pops up over the course of the program. It's a Wednesday so that means Drew Forrester of DrewsMorningDish.com will be hanging out with us in studio, we'll get his thoughts on the coaching carousel, the Bills firing Sean McDermott, who his top coaching candidates are and much more. At 11:35am, we will check in with our friend Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com to get his thoughts on the Ravens and the coaching cycle and also dive into a colum he wrote over the weekend about the possibility of the Ravens traded Lamar Jackson to the Raiders and why he believes it could actually be a possibility. Then at 12pm we are going to catch up with Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Banner once again to get an update on the coaching search, why the Ravens haven't made a hire yet and when we could potentially expect some finality. The boys will also share their top 5 coaching candidates later in the program as well!

Ravens beat reporter for The Baltimore Banner Jonas Shaffer joins the show to discuss the Ravens offseason so far.

In this essay, Kirwin Shaffer explores the creation of an anarchist ethnic identity (an anarchist Latinidad) among Spanish-speaking anarchists in the United States in the 1880s and 1890s. This identity united anarchists from Spain and Cuba around a common language and common experiences confronting capitalism and the Cuban War for Independence in the 1890s while rejecting divisive ethnic and nationalist politics centered around the place of one's birth. Kirwin Shaffer is Professor of Latin American Studies at the Pennsylvania State University - Berks College. His most recent books include A Transnational History of the Modern Caribbean, Anarchists of the Caribbean: Countercultural Politics and Transnational Networks in the Age of US Expansion, and the forthcoming Anarchist Militants in Latin America: Biographies, Historiographies, and Transnational Lives co-edited with Amparo Sánchez Cobos and María Migueláñez Martínez.  Anarchist Essays is brought to you by Loughborough University's Anarchism Research Group and the journal Anarchist Studies.

HERE'S A PODCAST FROM A YEAR AGO - 2025... LAST YEAR'S Happy New Year! Well no time like the present to kick off the new year with a mind bending podcast courtesy of Jennifer Shaffer and Rich Martini.  Jennifer's web page JenniferShaffer.com has links to her "Uncorked" events, or to book with her directly, RichardMartini.com is where one can book a guided meditation with Rich. So the other day in my kitchen (and I don't know why it's the case, but I sometimes get a message or feeling there that someone wants to talk to us) President Jimmy Carter popped into my head. It of course could have been because he'd just passed away - but I try not to judge why someone shows up, or if someone shows up.  I just leave it aside, and see what happens when we start the podcast. And as we often do, I left it up to our moderator on the Flipside, Luana Anders to suggest the topic for the day. And she told Jennifer: "Richard has someone who spoke to him yesterday." Which is accurate.  And just prior to the podcast - literally a minute before, I remembered that happened, and I looked up Jimmy on Wikipedia so at the very least I had some of his background correct. as it is - at some point I call the King of England before Elizabeth "Edward" when everyone knows that's not her father's name. But Jennifer didn't say his name - just pointed out that she was seeing him when Winston Churchill showed up. (For historians out there, the story of Winston sleeping in the White House and seeing a ghost is old news.) As noted, when over the past ten years we have someone Presidential show up (We've had all chats with Hoover, FDR, Truman, JFK, Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr.. and folks associated with the Presidency - Abe Lincoln, Mary Todd Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, RFK, John McCain - those interviews are in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE (books 1, 2 and 3). Some of them are searchable on the podcast - Abe, JFK, RFK, etc... but it wasn't surprising what Jimmy said about seeing Reagan on the flipside, how McCain stopped by - and the legions of people who loved him were there to greet him. Interesting that he said Rosalyn was "with him" frequency wise - he spoke about the regrets he had from his life (associated with war) and the things he was proudest of.  I asked him a question about a film project I've been working on - something only he would know about, the land case in Maine.  Fun to hear him say it's a story "that should be told." He also talked briefly about people off planet - since he saw a UFO back in 1969, and says that the kinds of work they're doing are benevolent... nothing to fear.  The same kind of things I've heard in the research behind CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FLIPSIDE KIND.  We asked him who he was surprised to see - and he mentioned Winston Churchill and Elvis - who was friends with him. Paul Newman showed up - I wasn't aware of their friendship, but Jimmy talked about Paul's food charity work, and we asked Paul some questions about his journey, including what it was like to welcome his wife Joanne Woodward home.  (Joanne is still on the planet, but has Alzheimers - from the research, multiple conversations with people offstage, our loved ones who have dementia are "90% already home" - so it's normal for them to interact with each other.  As my friend's father Jack Tracey told us in his last weeks of being here, "It's like leaving a leg in the pool."  I didn't mean to imply she is gone - just was asking him what it was like to see her "higher self" on the flipside.) So while one is watching the nation mourn this President, while the nation has a funeral for him, honoring him and his service, be aware that he hasn't disappeared or is gone: he's just not here. Available. Like everyone is. Hope this helps. WE'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK!

    Slam the Gavel welcomes back Debbie Carroll to the podcast accompanied by Lindsey Shaffer. Debbie was last on the podcast Season 5, Episodes 167, 180 and 236; Season 6, Episode 327.  Debbie discussed the Memorandum Of Procedure (MOP) and its disgusting implications along with the hard facts of foster care.     Lindsey discussed her history that she and her spouse had a baby girl 5-18-2104, but her spouse decided to move back in with his parents and brothers who were volatile. Lindsey didn't want to live with these brothers and she contacted CPS to see if they could offer other options such as housing. As a result her daughter was removed on 10-16-2015. Trying to find her way through what had unfolded with CPS and a certain caseworker, Lindsey wrote two books,"The Missing," and "Imperium Conflictus." These books can be found on Amazon, Google Play and Pay Hip.To Reach Debbie Carroll: carrolldebbie73@yahoo.com or considerationnonprofit.orgTo Reach Lindsey Shaffer: motivatedirishangel42@yahoo.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDklhttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is among the initial candidates to take over the Ravens vacant job. Is he the right fit beyond a strong offensive scheme?

Guest: Dr. Brenda Shaffer. Iran is a multi-ethnic state where Persians constitute less than 40% of the population. Shaffer explains that while current protests are Persian-led, the regime's survival often depends on the participation of ethnic minorities like Azerbaijanis, Kurds, and Baluch. These groups frequently engage in direct retribution against security forces.1971 IRAN

SHOW1-14-251671 Guests: Elizabeth Peek and John Batchelor. Batchelor and Peek discuss inflation holding firm at 2.7% in December. They evaluate falling gasoline prices and strong holiday retail performance as indicators of improving consumer sentiment. Peek also critiques a DOJ investigation into Jerome Powell, labeling it an "unforced error" that might inadvertently extend Powell's tenure. Guest: Elizabeth Peek. This segment addresses political dissent in Minnesota following a tragedy involving an ICE agent. Peek argues that liberal activists are nationalizing the incident to demonize law enforcement. She views this as partisan positioning for the midterms, intended as a weapon to be used against President Trump. Guests: Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus Matter. Dempsey explains that the EU lacks a cohesive strategy for Irandespite a consensus on increasing sanctions. Regarding Ukraine, she highlights staggering divisions among European states as the U.S. withdraws military help. Dempsey notes a ceasefire remains unlikely because Russiacurrently has no interest in negotiations. Guests: Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus Matter. The discussion focuses on Chancellor Friedrich Merz's efforts to address immigration to counter the populist AfD party. Dempsey explores the nuances of refugee integration into the German workforce. Finally, she reports European "horror" at potential U.S. moves to annex Greenland, which could threaten the survival of NATO. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. China faces a "sluggish zombie economy" characterized by a burst property bubble and anemic consumption. Sternberg warns of "Japanification," where growth remains stagnant for decades. Beijingstruggles with price deflation, further burdening a heavily indebted economy. Meaningful recovery requires political reforms Xi Jinping resists.  Guest: Joseph Sternberg. President Trump is reportedly using an investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell as a pretext to influence interest rate decisions. Sternberg notes that while central banks like the Bank of England strive for independence, they are increasingly politicized. Additionally, Western media outlets like the BBC initially faced criticism for slow coverage of Iranian massacre 7Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Intense protests in Iran, sparked by decades of mismanagement, have led to a violent crackdown by the regime. Schanzer highlights that these demonstrations are uniquely supported by President Trump's rhetoric. Reza Pahlavi has emerged as a potential figurehead for a transitional government or constitutional monarchy, as the population remains largely pro-Western.8 Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Syria's new central government remains extremely fragile, with authority barely extending beyond Damascus as factions clash in Aleppo. Schanzer describes a "Sunni jihadist regime" facing retribution from sectarian minorities. Meanwhile, regional tensions escalate as Israel and Iran reportedly narrowly avoided direct conflict, prompting Russia to evacuate its embassy. Guest: Dr. Brenda Shaffer.

Shaffer explains that while current protests are Persian-led, the regime's survival often depends on the participation of ethnic minorities like Azerbaijanis, Kurds, and Baluch. These groups frequently engage in direct retribution against security forces. Guest: General Blaine Holt (retired). Holt discusses potential U.S. intervention to support Iranian protesters, emphasizing strikes on command nodes rather than ground troops. While the U.S. maintains air superiority, putting special operators on the ground carries high risk. The Iranian people face a critical window of days to succeed before facing stunning reprisals. Guest: Brandon Weichert. Iranian protesters face a brutal regime that may utilize a "Samson Option," firing all missiles at Israel if the government falls. Weichert notes that while the Israelis and CIA have covert assets on the ground, the protest movement lacks a cohesive leader. Proposals for restoring the Pahlavi dynasty are criticized as an impractical solution. Guest: Brandon Weichert. Turmoil in Iran threatens China's energy security, as Beijing receives roughly 70-80% of Iranian oil. Weichert suggests Russia and China are using the crisis to test anti-Starlink technologies. Furthermore, the regime might import foreign terrorists to suppress domestic dissent, while the U.S. provides behind-the-scenes support to the movement. Guest: Gregory Copley. Iran's collapse could dismantle the "International North-South Transport Corridor," a vital trade route for Russia and India. Copley argues that the Iranian public is increasingly secular, with the youth rejecting clerical authority. While the regime may fire remaining missiles in desperation, a post-clerical Irancould ignite Central Asian economic potential. Guest: Gregory Copley. Although the U.S. promises help, Copley warns that a ground invasion is physically difficult and historically unsuccessful. There are signs that Iranian police and some Revolutionary Guard units are refusing to fire on protesters. Ultimately, the Iranian people must take ownership of the revolution to ensure the legitimacy of any successor government. Guest: Gregory Copley. Following the arrest of Maduro, Venezuela is controlled by four competing "crime families." Copley notes the absence of a clear U.S. plan for citizens facing food and medical insecurity. The U.S.seeks to enforce an oil embargo against Cuba, which is currently suffering from infrastructure collapse and electric grid failures. Guest: Gregory Copley. Reza Pahlavi proposes a constitutional monarchy where the crown serves as a symbolic figurehead, similar to the British system. Copley highlights Pahlavi's unique name recognition and legitimacy as the former crown prince. However, air power alone cannot decisively change the situation on the ground, requiring covert support after the clerics collapse.

PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY Guest: Professor Brenda Shaffer. Shaffer explains that the Iranian revolution's success depends on the participation of ethnic minorities. While IRGC members live safely in major cities like Tehran, they face direct, violent retribution in minority-populated provinces. This highlights a fragmented movement where regional resistance differs significantly from the protests in the capital.1307 PERSIA MURDER

IRAN IS MORE THAN PERSIA: A DIVERSE MOSAIC OF ETHNIC MINORITIES Colleague Brenda Shaffer. Brenda Shaffer discusses her book, Iran is More than Persia, arguing that Iran is not a monolithic Persian state but a diverse mosaic where ethnic minorities comprise roughly half the population. She explains how the 20th-century shift to Persian nationalism marginalized groups like the Azerbaijanis, Kurds, and Baluch. Shaffer notes that current anti-regime protests involve these previously pacified groups, highlighting the regime's failure to fully subjugate peripheral regions like Sistan-Baluchistan. NUMBER 11890 TEHRAN

BROKEN PROMISES AND LINGUISTIC DISCRIMINATION Colleague Brenda Shaffer. Shaffer details how the Islamic Republic initially promised ethnic minorities linguistic and cultural rights to secure power in 1979, only to violently suppress them once established. She explains that this oppression continues today through the policing of non-Persian names on birth certificates and the banning of minority language education. Shaffer argues this linguistic discrimination fuels current unrest, exemplified by Mahsa Amini, whose Kurdish identity was suppressed by state mandates. NUMBER 21911 QAJAR IN URMIA

SOCCER STADIUMS AS PROTEST VENUES AND THE ETHNIC FACTOR Colleague Brenda Shaffer. Shafferdescribes how soccer stadiums, particularly for the Azerbaijani team "Tractor," have become venues for ethnic and anti-regime protest. She notes the regime's brutal crackdown on athletes supporting the movement. Shaffer observes a shift in the opposition from seeking reform to demanding total regime change. She predicts the ethnic factor will be decisive in the Islamic Republic's potential collapse, warning that a transition to a Persian-nationalist military dictatorship would further alienate minority populations.

Ed and Rob took some time from Thursday's BBMS to talk with The Baltimore Banner's Jonas Shaffer. The Ravens are searching for a new head coach, but where will that search take them?

In this episode, Gina sits down with returning guest Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer, learning strategist and author, to unpack why perfection isn't required to make real progress. Together, they explore the value of starting “imperfectly and incrementally,” especially for those who feel like they've already fallen behind. With personal stories and relatable insights, Dr. Deena shares practical mindset shifts to help members drop the all-or-nothing thinking and embrace showing up, even when it's messy. If you're feeling frustrated, stuck, or just unsure about how to keep going (or just get started), this is the conversation you didn't know you needed.You can find the full video hosted at:www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodwinter2026Where to find Dr. DeenaInstagram: @awakenedlearningWebsite: www.awakenedlearning.caBooks - Feel Good Learning, Raising Well LearnersTo learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.

January 2, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 72 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare to play the Baltimore Ravens at home on Sunday night for the AFC North title and a spot in the playoffs. We open this show by going over the latest injury report for the Steelers that was released on Thursday afternoon. We discuss how we'll be watching closely the game-status given on Friday to OLB T.J. Watt, who has been sidelined with a lung issue the last few weeks. We also discuss how important it might be to have G Isaac Seumalo back from his triceps injury on Sunday night. The Ravens have a few players on their Week 18 injury report that we will be monitoring on Friday, so we quickly go over who they are ahead of Friday's practice. We also discuss QB Lamar Jackson deeming himself healthy enough to play on Sunday night against the Steelers. Alex and I move forward in this show by looking at the Steelers' most recent transactions that were made this week. We also discuss the possibility of the team not needing to make any elevations from their practice squad on Saturday. On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the main talking points to come out of those media sessions. There's truly little to chew on from those two once again this week, but we tackle the most notable comments from both ahead of the Sunday night game against the Ravens. We welcome Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner back to the show on Friday, and he helps us preview the Steelers-Ravens game. Shaffer has covered the Ravens for many seasons, and he certainly knows that team inside and out. We get his thoughts on several things related to the Sunday night game in Pittsburgh and his thoughts on the future of Jackson and Ravens HC John Harbaugh moving past the 2025 season. If not already doing so, make sure to follow Jonas on X/Twitter at @jonas_shaffer and make sure to read his work here: https://www.thebanner.com/author/jonas-shaffer/. After finishing with Shaffer, Alex and I provide our own preview of the Steelers-Ravens game. We break down what we are looking for out of each team on both sides of the football Sunday night. Alex and I go over a few wrinkles we would like to see from the Steelers on offense on Sunday night and that includes the unit possibly having seven offensive linemen on the field at the same time a few times during that contest. We also discuss the possibility of us seeing RB Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell both on the field at the same time a few times against the Ravens. The Steelers defense will have a chore when it comes to stopping Ravens RB Derrick Henry on Sunday night so that topic gets a lot of our attention. We also discuss whether we'll see the Ravens defense play a lot of man-coverage on Sunday night in Pittsburgh against Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers, much like they did in Baltimore back in Week 14. Alex and I then give our picks against the spread for all of the Week 18 NFL games provided by show sponsor MyBookie.ag. We also give our final score predictions for the Steelers-Ravens game. This 136-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted above and we end this episode by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the podcast Hacking the Afterlife. I tend to put information here that gives context to the podcast. In that vein, for those unfamiliar with what we're doing: At what point in time is it okay to ask recently deceased people questions on the flipside? When is too soon? When is it inappropriate?  Some context: as a filmmaker, I've written and or directed 10 feature films, made a number of documentaries about the afterlife, and have spoken at UVA Medical school DOPS regarding how the footage shows consciousness is not confined to the brain. Jennifer Shaffer works with law enforcement agencies nationwide on missing person cases. I've interviewed some of those agents from the FBI, LAPD (NYPD) who work with her on a daily basis. A third of her practice is pro bono work with law enforcement. She also works with a number of people who knew Rob and Michelle, and the families of Kobe Bryant and Steve Jobs have allowed her to mention that she works with them. Ten years ago, I began working with Jennifer - we met for lunch and have been talking since then. The past five years on our podcast. Our moderator on the flipside is Luana Anders - who worked with Rob Reiner in the film THE LAST DETAIL. Luana died in my arms, and began visiting me not long after (back in 1996). It took me until 2004 to investigate how it was possible she could communicate with me - and upon meeting Jennifer I realized I could have conversations with her. And indeed - we've been doing that nonstop for over ten years. Luana was in many films - worked with Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson and others - and in my case, I worked with Ray Charles in the film LIMIT UP where he plays “God.” The point is that it's “six degrees of separation.” If Luana knows someone, or I worked with someone, it's easier for us to verify those details. I knew Penny Marshall, we did a gig together once, I appeared on Laverne and Shirley once (cutting room floor because Harry Dean Stanton's song went long.) So when this question is asked; “Are you going to be speaking to Rob and Michelle soon?” it comes from the couple of hundred interviews we have on the podcast HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on YouTube. In terms of our podcast, people tend to miss the notion that we aren't in charge of the guest list. Since Jennifer and I have begun to talk to the flipside, it's really up to Luana Anders to decide who is “ready to be interviewed.” In terms of how that works, sometimes I “hear” a voice from someone I knew or know - and when that happens, I'll say to myself “Well, if this person wants to show up for a conversation, they know where to find us.” And then - since Jennifer and I have been doing that for over the past ten years, frequently I'll show up for a meeting with her - and she'll say “so and so is here.” That has happened more often than I can recall. I can report that I heard Robert Kennedy's voice one day saying “I understand you're the person I need to speak with to get a message to my family.” I had the presence of mind to not judge that I heard his distinct voice - and said to him; “Actually I'm not the guy, you need to find Luana.” The next day I went to meet with Jennifer and she said before I could say anything; “Robert Kennedy is here.” The other day during the Frank Gehry interview, I heard his voice (or had the impression of hearing his voice) saying “Yes, I'll be on your podcast.” And not believing that it was actually him and not my imagination, I said to him “Well, we met through Sally Kellerman, so if you do want to speak to us, Sally should show up and I'll know it's you.” And during that podcast, at first Jennifer said “Luana says you have someone” and then said “Hot Lips is here.” (Sally Kellerman's role in the film MASH.) So I knew that Frank was available to converse. In this case, we have spoken to Rob Reiner's ex, Penny whom I was pals with. When she crossed over, we have a conversation with the one and only. We've also interview Garry Marshall, whom I knew when he was still on the planet - so it wasn't hard for us to connect with Penny. Generally - what we've learned recently is that Luana Anders is teaching a class in the flipside in how to communicate with us. The class - is large. We've spoken to quite a few people in the past ten years. So all that being said, I was wondering if we'd be speaking to Rob and his wife Michelle this week. A friend of mine who has done a guided meditation session with me said “I have the feeling you're going to be speaking to Rob Reiner this week.” I said “It may be too soon - but I have to be open to whomever does show up.” In other words - I know how tragic the event is, I know how raw his friends feel - and some of them I know well enough to say that I know they'd be upset to hear that we were inviting him to our podcast. This week - I'm about to post it - he does show up. I ask Luana “Who is here on your guest list” and Jennifer makes a face and says “Rob Reiner.” Then she said “He's just observing. He doesn't want to speak. But he's observing the class.” We've had that before - where people show up to just observe this give and take to see what it is. In the Frank Gehry podcast I asked him if he was ready to converse (He was friends with Luana and I told him at a party that I had scattered some of his old friend's ashes at the Guggenheim in Bilbao) - and we ask him about that on the podcast. The point is - without context it may seem exploitive to converse with someone who is recently passed. I know that some people are offended that we speak to anyone in this fashion - however, as I try to point out, as a filmmaker for the past 40 years, a music critic at Variety, and since Luana was in over 100 films and TV shows - between us we know many folks on the flipside, and she has many of them in her class on how to “communicate with the denser realm.” (Folks onstage). So Rob and Michelle may talk to us in the future. That's up to them. Again - it's not my opinion, theory or belief that people exist after leaving the stage - it's what the footage, data and research show. People can spend their lives believing that life ends, and be completely startled, shocked to realize life goes on. That our manner of passing isn't as relevant as our many of living - and how many people we've affected or cared about. Love is all there is. So it's a cogent question, and the answer is revealed in today's podcast: “Yes, he still exists and No, he's not ready to talk about it yet.” We'll see if he is at a future date. The point of the podcast (and the underlying point of the question) is that “everyone can communicate with people offstage” - our loved ones are not gone, they just aren't here. I'm sorry that bothers some people - but I wouldn't be accurate if I didn't report verbatim what the data, research or footage was showing. Hope this helps someone. For people who want to communicate directly with loved ones, I can recommend Jennifer's help - there's also her "Wine & Spirits" events in Manhattan beach. For those willing to do hypnotherapy, I recommend Scott at LightBetweenLives.com - a way to explore in detail. For those who are familiar with guided meditation, I can help them access their teachers and guides via RichardMartini.com Hope this helps.

Some years ago, when Jonathan Krane was producing my films and married to the Oscar nominated actress Sally Kellerman - who was Luana Anders closest pal on the planet - my wife and I had a Christmas dinner at Sally and Jonathan's home. Frank Gehry was there - by himself, so my wife and I, both children of architects sat down to have a lively conversation about everything under the sun. So the other day, after Frank passed, I had the "feeling" or awareness that he was willing to join our podcast - mainly because we've interviewed so many pals of his. Frank was in "group therapy" with Sydney Pollack, Sally, Jonathan, Luana - Blake Edwards, Dudley Moore and others... Milton Wexler was the renowned psychotherapist who ran the group, and remained a famous therapist until the end of his life. But because I knew Sally was in the group - I made that the "bell ringer" for myself - if I asked to speak to Frank and Sally showed up ("Hot Lips" in the original MASH) I knew it was him. And that's what happens in the podcast. Frank stops by to talk about his journey - and I was startled to see that his favorite building was the home of Norton Simon - which I didn't know he designed when I went to Sally and Jonathan's wedding at the palatial estate. But there you have it - I don't even know if Jennifer said "Venice" and I heard "Malibu" - I'll have to check the tape, but that's where my mind went. And yes, Jennifer Jones did offer to have our wedding at her home - but we didn't go that path.  Funny to remember it now and in this fashion. It's another mind bending podcast and serves as a reminder; they aren't gone; they're just not here. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and for folks like Frank who are Jewish; Happy Hannukah!

December 5, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 59 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare to play the Baltimore Ravens on the road on Sunday afternoon. We open this show by going over the latest regarding former Steelers CB Darius Slay, who was waived by the team this past week. We discuss him not reporting to the Buffalo Bills after they claimed him off waivers and whether he will now just go ahead and retire. We make sure to tackle a few things that Slay said about the Steelers and HC Mike Tomlin during his Thursday night podcast interview with Emmanuel Acho. Alex and I move forward in this show by looking at the Steelers' most recent transactions made and the team's Thursday injury report. We talk about the team likely not having backup T Calvin Anderson this week due to a knee injury and how it's looking like rookie CB Donte Kent won't make it back from the Reserve/Injured list this season. We also discuss the Steelers secondary seemingly being dinged up heading into Sunday's road game against the Ravens. The Ravens are dealing with several key injuries this week as well and so Alex and I recap what their Thursday report said and how there are really just three players to watch closely on Friday's report. We discuss Ravens QB Lamar Jackson likely playing through his ankle injury on Sunday. On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the main talking points to come out of those media sessions. We discuss whether the team will finally start playing TE Pat Freiermuth more than TE Jonnu Smith based on what Smith had to say about the two players on Sunday. A few comments made by Austin concerning the team's defense get our attention in this show as well. Steelers S DeShon Elliott and OLB Alex Highsmith are both in the news this week for their off-the-field community activities, so we recap those items. New Steelers WR Adam Thielen talked to the media on Thursday, so we go over a few things that he had to say. We discuss the level of potential impact that Thielen might be able to make on Sunday against the Ravens and which wide receivers might lose some snaps should the newest Steeler indeed be active against the Ravens. We welcome Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner back to the show on Friday, and he helps us preview the Steelers-Ravens game. Shaffer has covered the Ravens for many seasons, and he certainly knows that team inside and out. We get his thoughts on several things related to the Sunday afternoon game in Baltimore and his recap of the Ravens' season to date in addition to his outlook for the team moving into Sunday.

After finishing with Shaffer, Alex and I provide our own preview of the Steelers-Ravens game. We break down what we are looking for out of each team on both sides of the football Sunday afternoon. Alex and I then give our picks against the spread for the remainder of the Week 14 NFL games provided by show sponsor MyBookie.ag.
