The Hotel Room Portal | Paranormal Podcast In this listener submission episode, we explore three unsettling paranormal encounters starting with Taylor's story from Washington state, where at age 13 she witnessed a tall, scrawny, fuzzy black figure crouching near her bedroom door in the attic—an entity so disturbing that she kept it secret for a year until her best friend saw the exact same creature crawl down from the ceiling during a sleepover, confirming Taylor wasn't alone in her terror. We then hear from Dani, who worked at a California zoo and became a paranormal believer after hearing mysterious whistling coming from an abandoned monorail track late one night, only to learn from a custodial worker that the sound belonged to a maintenance man who died from electrocution while working on that very monorail—a man known for whistling while he walked the dock. Finally, we dive into Mike's experience at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas during a union election in September 2021, where he woke up paralyzed in the middle of the night to find strange animal-like sounds around his bed and a portal layered over his hotel window with creatures running through it. The most terrifying part came when Mike looked down to see a three-foot-tall humanoid creature standing on all fours at the end of his bed—eyeless, with a flat snake-like nose, drooling mouth full of canine teeth—that snarled at him before nodding and leaping back through the closing portal, leaving him screaming for his girlfriend who believed it was sleep paralysis, though the vivid details Mike sketched suggest something far stranger may have visited his room that night.
Still no solid format. Just three assholes talking. Tough to find a podcast with three white guys shooting the shit... Enjoy! This Joe Rogan Experience Experience is sponsored by BetterHelp. Give therapy a try at betterhelp.com/jree and get on your way to being your best self!
HEADLINE: Strategic Vulnerabilities and the Path to a 456-Ship Fleet GUEST AUTHOR: Jerry HendrixSUMMARY: Hendrix identifies critical economic vulnerabilities in China and Russia, noting that both regimes rely heavily on sea lanes for energy and food, making them susceptible to naval interdiction. To maintain deterrence, he proposes a future fleet of 456 ships. This expansion relies on a pivot to unmanned surface vessels to control costs and the addition of 60 frigates for global presence. Hendrix also warns that the Navy must urgently replace retiring guided-missile submarines and expand the logistics force, as combatant ships cannot operate effectively without a robust train of supply vessels.1888 NAVAL GUN

Weekly Spooky horror podcast brings you a high-seas survival horror nightmare for our Best of 2025 series—equal parts ghost ship, creature feature, and “you're trapped and nobody is coming.” Chance and Luka are stranded after a shipwreck—clinging to a container in open water while the ocean churns around them. But rescue doesn't arrive… and when a drifting vessel appears out of the fog, it feels like a miracle. A derelict ocean liner. A ghost ship. A place to rest, warm up, and wait it out. Except the ship isn't empty. The corridors are wrong. The cabins are shredded. The galley has been ransacked down to the metal. And the scraping in the walls isn't the sea—it's something living, swarming, and hungry. What starts as a lucky break turns into a full-blown claustrophobic horror story about bad choices, worse timing, and the terrifying moment you realize the lifeboat might not be yours anymore.If you love ghost ship horror, monster infestations, ocean survival stories, and relentless “can't escape” tension, this one is a year-round must-listen—especially with headphones on in a dark room.Ship of the Cannibal Rats — by David O'Hanlon

Throwback Files: Dyatlov Pass Incident | Paranormal Podcast It's time for another throwback Thursday! On this month's Throwback Files, we revisit the very mysterious Dyatlov Pass Incident. About the Dyatlov Pass Incident In February 1959, nine experienced Soviet hikers died under mysterious circumstances in the Ural Mountains after cutting their way out of their tent and fleeing into extreme cold. Six died from hypothermia while three suffered severe traumatic injuries including skull damage and chest fractures, with some bodies found months later showing unusual soft tissue damage. The original Soviet investigation concluded a "compelling natural force" caused the deaths, leading to decades of speculation about causes ranging from avalanches to military tests to paranormal phenomena. Russian authorities reopened the case in 2019 and concluded in 2020 that a slab avalanche likely forced the group to evacuate their tent in panic, leading to their deaths from hypothermia and injuries sustained during their desperate attempt to survive. Recent scientific studies have supported the avalanche theory, though the incident remains one of the most enduring mysteries in mountaineering history.

In this first episode of Mastering the Hidden Margin, a special series on Build Better Work, host Tony Pericle pulls back the curtain on SPAs—special pricing authorizations and agreements, also known as deviations, chargebacks, ship-and-debit, and invoice verification. He's joined by industry veterans Scott Sinning and Cara DeGraff, who bring decades of experience across electrical distribution, medical supply, high tech, and enterprise rebate/pricing solutions. Together, they trace how SPA programs emerged from messy manual workarounds into one of the most important—and misunderstood—margin levers in distribution.Tony, Scott, and Cara also share their experience to describe what “good” SPA management actually looks like. They explore how digitization, data synchronization, and better analytics can reduce leakage, shrink reconciliation backlogs, and free sales teams from spreadsheet purgatory. If you're responsible for pricing, margin, or channel strategy in a distributor or manufacturer, this episode will give you the language, stories, and mental models you need to start mastering your hidden margin.Time Stamps:0:00 - Intro2:25 - Guests and SPA Highlights10:49 - Problems SPAs Solve16:24 - What is Invoice Verification17:05 - SPAs = Competitive Advantage18:33 - Magnitude of SPAs20:30 - SPAs as a Manufacturer24:31 - Bring Data to the Conversation26:21 - Charge Backs and Price Masking29:23 - Synchronized Data35:50 - ClosingGuests:Tony | tony@profitoptics.com: Tony Pericle is the founder of ProfitOptics and one of the most innovative minds in the distribution industry.

Fool in the Rain, The Fool on the Hill, Ship of Fools, What a Fool Believes, Fool for the City, Everybody's a Fool, Fool if You Think It's Over, and Fool in Love. Every fucker and their dog seems to have a fool song for the love of gods! Well, Queen wrote one. Kinda. Brian wrote one actually, and he wrote it in his dentally-inclined pre-Qeen musical project, Smile; a band that had a dashingly handsome drummer and then two other blokes who history has been far less kind to! This week's episode covers the B-side to Seven Seas of Rhye. It's an old Smile song that the boys dusted off and tried to add a lick of paint to and it's called "See What a Fool I've Been"If Kev were to title this podcast, he'd probably call it “Well she's gone, gone this morning” or possibly, “Maybe she'll be back in time for tea”NOTE: Skip forward to 8:01 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is the lead track off Randy's last album. Soul Hammer and it's titled "Alphabet City". Randy of course grew up in a place where letters were outlawed and only numbers were ever used. Alphabet City was the underground club that he and his rag tag gang of lexical lawbreakers would head to every Thursday night to play ilicit scrabble tournaments! He wrote this song in honour of those halcyon days!

It's time to invade a cruise ship, everyone. This week, we're discussing Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 7 of Season 2, "I Go Down With The Ship." Let it be known we're not entirely sure what ship is being referred to here. This episode deviates from the book the most, and we go deep into our thoughts on each change. Some? We like. Some? We're holding our breath. Manasa asks questions nobody else has about the fleece and skincare. We both crash out about Luke and continue convincing ourselves that we hate him. Clarisse gets the Annabeth. Percy gets the fleece. Two sides, and whatnot.

We look ahead to Monday's National Championship matchup between the Canes and Indiana, which will be the toughest test yet for Miami and will require their cleanest game of the season. We hit 15 Minutes of Heat, questioning whether the Suns' recent wins are being overhyped. Tobin continues his attempt to convince Leroy that Ja Morant would be a good fit for the Heat, but Leroy isn't buying it, citing too many red flags. We wrap up the hour with our favorite Wednesday game, Rats Off a Ship, featuring speculation about Mike Tomlin wanting to coach somewhere warm and whether Mike McDaniel could become Cam Ward's next head coach.
We wrap up the hour with our favorite Wednesday game, Rats Off a Ship, featuring speculation about Mike Tomlin wanting to coach somewhere warm and whether Mike McDaniel could become Cam Ward's next head coach.
The guys react to the Miami Heat snapping their losing streak, with Bam finally stepping up, and keep the Heat talk going throughout the show—including Tobin's continued attempt to sell Leroy on Ja Morant and Leroy pointing out all the red flags. Around the NBA, there's no shortage of drama as Tobin breaks down the Lakers situation involving Rich Paul and Austin Reaves, questions whether the Suns' recent wins are being overhyped, and reacts to Giannis booing back at Bucks fans during a blowout loss. The Miami Dolphins' coaching search remains a major talking point, with ongoing discussion about potential candidates, what it would take to land Mike Tomlin, and whether Miami could lure a big-name coach to a warmer climate. The guys also react to comments from Erik Spoelstra, Mike McDaniel's childhood friend taking shots at the Dolphins and the city of Miami, and play their favorite Wednesday game, Rats Off a Ship. College football gets plenty of shine as the crew looks ahead to the Canes' National Championship matchup against Indiana, breaks down why it may be their toughest test yet, and debates who Miami's quarterback will be next season after missing out on key transfer portal targets. Plus, Florida Panthers left wing and two-time Stanley Cup champion A.J. Greer joins the show to talk about his journey to the NHL, his role with the Panthers, injuries, and more—along with plenty of mixed bags, games, and classic back-and-forth along the way.

Dark Web Stories | Paranormal Podcast This week, we dive deep into the hidden corners of the internet to explore the Dark Web—what it is, how it works, and the disturbing realities lurking beneath the surface. We begin by breaking down the structure of the internet itself, explaining how the surface web we use daily represents only 5-10% of all online content, while the deep web makes up 90-95%, and the dark web accounts for a mere 0.1% of sites—yet it's specifically designed for complete anonymity. We also discuss the technical side of accessing this hidden network, including how to download the Tor browser, the importance of using a VPN for protection, and the concept of "onion routing" that wraps your data in layers of encryption as it bounces through volunteer-run servers across the globe. While we acknowledge there are legitimate uses for the Dark Web—such as helping journalists and activists in oppressive regimes communicate securely and bypass government censorship—we make it clear that over half of the Dark Web is estimated to be dedicated to illegal activities, from marketplaces selling drugs, weapons, and stolen data to far more sinister operations. The second half of our episode takes a darker turn as we share real accounts and disturbing discoveries from those who've ventured into these digital shadows, including websites selling human organs for cryptocurrency, platforms offering "human meat" with the slogan "for those with taste," and hitman services listing everything from drive-by shootings to arson. We recount a chilling story from a Reddit user who befriended someone in a Dark Web chat room known for posting extreme gore content, only to later learn the person was fatally shot in a police raid after kidnapping a missing woman and performing an ice pick lobotomy on her to keep her compliant for his videos.

Two billionaire brothers from New Zealand just scooped up 16 prime Malibu beachfront lots for $65 million—and their genius plan? Ship in prefab homes manufactured in China. What could possibly go wrong? While devastated fire victims navigate California's nightmarish permit process (12-24 months just for approval), these surf-bro billionaires claim they're doing it out of love for Malibu. Sure, guys. Nothing says "community rebuilding" like factory-built Chinese imports on some of America's most prestigious waterfront real estate. The city has issued only 22 permits in Malibu versus 1,300+ in Pacific Palisades, leaving desperate homeowners with few options. Enter the Mobre brothers with their "altruistic" cash offers. Do you trust billionaires claiming they're not in it for profit? Will homes built in 4-6 weeks even meet California building codes? Should iconic American coastline be rebuilt with foreign prefabs while local contractors sit idle? Drop your thoughts below. Like and subscribe for updates on this absolute circus as it unfolds.

What is the role of education when AI can explain, generate, and tutor instantly, and what does that mean for how we learn, teach, and evaluate understanding?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Stephen Cognetta to explore how education is evolving in the age of AI, and why many existing learning models are fundamentally misaligned with how people actually develop understanding. The conversation challenges long-held assumptions about credentials, classrooms, and expertise, and digs into what truly matters when information becomes abundant and cheap.Stephen shares perspectives on how learning really happens, why traditional institutions struggle to adapt, and how AI changes the value of memorization versus intuition, judgment, and synthesis. They discuss the tension between structured education and self-directed learning, how product thinking applies to education systems, and why curiosity and experimentation matter more than polished answers.This episode is especially relevant for product leaders, builders, and operators who care about learning, not just as students, but as designers of systems that help people grow. It offers a thoughtful look at how AI reshapes education, careers, and what it means to be “qualified” in the future.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

SpaceX is preparing to launch Starship Flight 12, the maiden flight of Block 3 vehicles. Booster 19 and Ship 39 will fly with Raptor 3 engines for the first time, generating 19 to 22 percent more thrust than Block 2. The launch window opens in late February or March 2026 from Pad 2 at Starbase. SpaceX will not attempt a booster catch on this flight. Ship 39 will attempt a controlled reentry over the Indian Ocean. The orbital refueling demonstration planned for June 2026 depends on Flight 12 succeeding, and NASA's Artemis program has no backup plan. We talk about Starship Flight 12 Technical Report, SpaceX production timeline and testing milestones, FCC communications window filing and NASA Artemis program dependencies.The Starship system is a fully reusable, two‑stage‑to‑orbit super heavy‑lift launch vehicle under development by SpaceX.

The launch window opens in late February or March 2026 from Pad 2 at Starbase. SpaceX will not attempt a booster catch on this flight. Ship 39 will attempt a controlled reentry over the Indian Ocean. The orbital refueling demonstration planned for June 2026 depends on Flight 12 succeeding, and NASA's Artemis program has no backup plan. We talk about Starship Flight 12 Technical Report, SpaceX production timeline and testing milestones, FCC communications window filing and NASA Artemis program dependencies.The Starship system is a fully reusable, two‑stage‑to‑orbit super heavy‑lift launch vehicle under development by SpaceX. The system is composed of a booster stage named Super Heavy and a second stage, also called "Starship" and is being built at Starbase, Texas.00:00:00 - SpaceX Starship Flight 12 update00:01:48 - Raptor 3 Engine00:02:38 - Ship 39 Design00:03:20 - COPV Failure Investigation00:04:45 - Starbase Pad 200:05:36 - Flight Profile00:07:05 - Testing Timeline00:07:57 - NASA Artemis Impact00:08:33 - 2026 Roadmap00:09:15 - What's next for flight 12?
COLD WAR TACTICS: THE SEIZURE OF A RUSSIAN TANKER Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Lieven discusses the US Navy's detention of a Russian-flagged ship in the North Atlantic, viewing it as a dangerous escalation akin to piracy. This move humiliates Moscow and aims to control oil supplies. Lieven warns that if European nations mimic these seizures, Russia may retaliate violently, risking a direct war.

Nir Soudry, Head of R&D at 7AI, breaks down how teams can move from early experimentation to real production work fast, without shipping chaos. If you are building AI features or agent workflows, this conversation is a practical look at speed, safety, and what it actually takes to earn customer trust.Nir shares how 7AI ships in tight loops with a real customer in mind, why pushing decisions closer to the engineers removes bottlenecks, and how guardrails and evaluation keep fast releases from turning into security risks. You will also hear a grounded take on human plus AI collaboration, and why “just hook up an LLM” falls apart at scale.Key takeaways• Speed starts with focus, pick one customer and ship something usable in two or three weeks, then iterate every couple of weeks based on real feedback• If you want velocity, remove the meeting chain, get engineers in the room with customers and push decisions downstream• Agent workflows are not automatically testable, you need scoped blast radius, strong input and output guardrails, and an evaluation plan that matches real production complexity• “LLM as a judge” helps, but it is not magic, you still need humans reviewing, labeling, and tuning, especially once you have multi step workflows• In security, trust is earned through side by side proof, run a real pilot against human outcomes, measure accuracy and thoroughness, then improve with tight feedback loopsTimestamped highlights00:28 What 7AI is building, security alert fatigue, and why minutes matter02:03 A fast shipping cadence, one customer, quick prototypes, rapid iterations03:51 The velocity playbook, engineers plus sales in the same meetings, fewer bottlenecks08:08 Shipping agents safely, blast radius, guardrails, and why testing is still hard14:37 Human plus AI in practice, how ideas become working agents with review and monitoring18:04 Why early AI adoption works for some customers, and how pilots build confidence24:12 The startup reality, faster execution, traction, and why hiring still mattersA line worth sharing“When it's wrong, click a button, and next time it will be better.”Pro tips you can steal• Run a two to four week pilot with one real customer and ship weekly, the goal is learning speed, not perfect coverage• Put engineers directly in customer conversations, keep leadership focused on unblocking, not gatekeeping• Treat every agent like a product surface, define strict inputs and outputs, sanitize both, and limit what it can affect• Build evaluation around real workflows, not single prompts, and combine automated checks with human review• Add feedback buttons everywhere, route feedback to both model improvement and the team that tunes production behaviorCall to actionIf you want more conversations like this on building real tech that ships, follow and subscribe to The Tech Trek.
The Columbia River Bar is on Red status, so what happens now?Yesterday the Columbia River Bar was on Red status, per the Columbia River Bar Pilots. It's the most severe restriction on ship traffic they can impose, and it means most, if not all, ships will be restricted from coming in or out of the river till the weather improves.We have a big potential ship schedule today, meaning lots of ships want to enter and leave the river. Today we'll talk about the effect a temporary, weather-related closure like this has on vessels, and what they do while they wait.

We kick off the final hour with a classic Tobin rant after reports surface that the Dolphins asked players during exit interviews for their thoughts on head coach Mike McDaniel. Tobs urges the Dolphins to cut their losses, move on from McDaniel, and GO GET US A HARBAUGH! We then wrap up the show with a very short-lived Rats Off a Ship, as Brittney finally admits to Tobin that she actually likes JJ Redick—whom Tobin has deemed his mortal enemy.
A look at how marine pilots decide which ships will cross the bar in challenging weatherWe've got another round of inclement weather coming in, and it's a good time to talk about how our marine pilots, who are in charge of assisting ships in and out of the river, decide when the weather is too difficult to allow ships to transit until things calm down. We'll talk about that today.
The A70 UFO Incident | Paranormal Podcast In our first episode of 2026, we journey to Scotland to explore the A70 incident, one of the UK's most compelling alien abduction cases. On the night of August 27, 1992, Gary Wood and Colin Wright were driving south on the A70 highway near Edinburgh. As they traveled through the small town of Bonny Bridge—an area with over 300 UFO sightings annually—Colin spotted something unusual shoot across the sky. Minutes later, both men witnessed a massive two-tiered disc hovering just 20 feet above the road. Rather than stopping to observe this craft, Gary made the split-second decision to accelerate and try to drive underneath it. When they passed beneath the object, it released a shimmering silver mist that touched their car, plunging both men into complete darkness. What felt like only a few seconds to them turned out to be far more significant—when they regained their bearings and found themselves inexplicably driving in the opposite direction, they discovered they had lost approximately 90 minutes of time and arrived at their friend's house well past 2:00 AM. The aftermath of this encounter proved even more disturbing than the initial experience. Gary began suffering from severe, unexplainable headaches that led to extensive medical testing including MRIs, CAT scans, and even a spinal tap—all of which came back with no answers from confused doctors. Desperate for understanding, both men turned to the British UFO Research Association, which recommended hypnotic regression with Dr. Helen Walters, a qualified hypnotist and psychic. During these sessions, Gary—a hardened ambulance driver who had seen countless traumatic situations—burst into tears and had to be escorted out of his first regression, while Colin remained eerily calm throughout. Through multiple sessions, both men independently described being taken aboard the craft by three six-foot-tall gray beings with large heads, dark eyes, and four long fingers, then being led through circular hallways into fog-filled rooms where they were stripped and examined.

ASSIMILATION AND THE SALME SHIP MYSTERY Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. Barraclough highlights how the Norse assimilated into Eastern cultures, adopting Slavic names and gods within generations. The focus then turns to a major mystery: the Salme ship burials in Estonia, discovered in 2013. These burials, dated to around 750 AD, predate the Lindisfarne raid and contain warriors buried with high honors, including gaming pieces and falcons, despite having died violently. Barraclough suggests this might have been a diplomatic mission gone wrong. A key artifact mentioned is a King piece from the board game hnefatafl found in a leader's mouth, adding to the mystery of who buried them. NUMBER 3
