Podcasts about Shot in the Dark

In today's episode, we break down the common English expression “a shot in the dark,” which describes taking a guess or making an attempt with little to no information. You'll hear where the idiom comes from, how people from the U.S. use it, and three real-life examples—from kids guessing ages, to ordering pintxos in Spain, to recreating Banana Kahlúa French toast (with no instructions!). We'll also go over the joke of the day (“Why did the man take a ladder to the bar?”), cover some advanced terms and phrases, and finish with a pronunciation exercise focused on flap Ts. I highly recommend practicing them to sound more natural when speaking. At the end, I'll challenge you to think of a moment when you took a shot in the dark.

“There were 2 years of my life that I was dead certain I was gonna be a breakdancer…”   The release of THE ULTIMATE SIN on January 24, 1986, the 4th studio album from OZZY OSBOURNE (and the 2nd & final album to feature Jake E. Lee on guitar) is definitely one of the heaviest albums of Ozzy's 80's output.    “I've got the magic!”   With heavier riffs, crazier guitar pyrotechnics, and darker lyrical themes like nuclear annihilation, THE ULTIMATE SIN blends in just the right amount of glam while still maintaining the essential heaviness that is a prerequisite for any classic OZZY album. While perhaps a bit “more Blizzard than Diary”, it's a dramatic improvement from Bark At The Moon and is overall heavier and more focused.   “Oh yeah, the ‘dunniguhh'? Yeah…I remember that one.”   Get ready for some metal news and current events, understand that “most people, if they have a mustache” can only look like one of three different people (or a combination of all three), and accept the fact that “the bur-duh-dur is what got ‘em”.    Be sure to check out our 2 brand-new embedded podcasts within this one and realize “I've lost my magic…ever since you moved me over here…” when you JOIN US as we head back to the mid-80's with OZZY OSBOURNE and THE ULTIMATE SIN.

On the 69th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & special guest, SIOL Hall Of Famer, wrestling superstar, lead singer of Fozzy & Kuarantine, Chris Jericho review the 1986 Ozzy Osbourne album, "Ultimate Sin." Fresh out of the Betty Ford Clinic, Ozzy was presented with songs from his guitar great Jake E. Lee. Bob Daisley once again added lyrics, but did not perform on the album. Ozzy had a new rhythm section, Phil Soussan on bass and Randy Castillo on drums. Ultimate Sin was Ozzy's highest charting studio album at the time at #6. The album went double platinum and Ozzy released three videos for the album, including the much played on MTV, "Shot In The Dark." The album is controversially called Ozzy's "hair metal" album by some, but it is filled with Ozzy's signature vocals and blistering guitar from Jake E. Lee. This was the Patreon pick and the third Ozzy Osbourne album reviewed on ARC and Jericho's leading 4th appearance as well.

This week on Trudge Report, the crew (minus Shawn) dives into a wild ride of memories, hot takes, and cultural farewells. We pay tribute to two larger-than-life icons: Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan. From heavy metal mayhem to the golden age of wrestling, we reflect on their pop culture impact, personal stories and whether Ozzy or the Hulkster juiced harder, boosters included.But it doesn't stop there. Potentially our most cancellable episode yet, we hit knee jerk reactions on everything from AI job takeovers and career do-overs to the ethics of IVF, crypto regrets, allowance bribes and parenting in the apocalypse. Corey confesses his Dogecoin heartbreak, Greg wants to sell yachts and yes, we go way off the spiritual beam. Bill does his best game show host impression by putting the guys on the proverbial hot seat, and hilarity ensues. Whether you're sober, sober curious or just in for the nonsense, this one's packed with grit laughs and just the right amount of chaos.​​Contact the Guys:Instagram: @trudgereportpodFacebook: Trudge ReportTikTok: trudgereportpodYouTube: @trudgereportpod

November 9, 1994 was an ordinary Wednesday night for Laura Hoelscher and her husband, Darren, until they were startled by gunfire across the street. Rushing to their living room window, they witnessed their neighbor, Farah Fratta, fall to her garage floor and a masked man escape in a getaway car. Zeroing in on who wanted Farah dead would be the easy part, but proving it wouldn't be.

This week, Tom is joined by James of Dark Side of the Mic, and our paranormal correspondent Julian. We have some NFL updates on roster moves from this week, as well as an update the NBA playoffs, and get a refresher on draft lotto rules. James talks about his experience with Jason running the 5K last week, and we try to update our ghost hunting plans. We also have Mikki drop by for blind rankings of wrestlers, and Tom gives a quick recap of the ACL 25 lineup.

Bonus feature - British wolverines?Our first guest Darren was asked to despatch a troublesome fox in south Wales in 1998. In the snowy conditions he actually saw a puma though his gun sights – he re-lives the high emotions on the winter hillside as bright green eyeshine stared back.  Rick and Darren also consider the prospects of a big cat  being trapped, and they discuss an event in 2011, when the police and the Home Office verified a plaster cast as from a puma-like big cat.For our second guest we return to Exmoor Zoo, meeting owner Danny Reynolds. He briefs us on the new female black leopard, Bagheera. She is a lively three year old, who enjoys playful stalking of the visitors and keepers.Exmoor Zoo also hosts two wolverines, last known in Britain 8,000 years ago, or has this podcast found that they are back somehow?  We discuss some footage which might hold the clues, with some extracted stills on the Big Cat Conversations website. Danny and Rick discuss the traits of wolverines, a big type of mustelid, both in the wild and at the zoo. Words of the week:  talon   &   Gulo gulo26 March 2025 

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases IN THE DARK and A SHOT IN THE DARKIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase in the dark. When you are in the dark, it means you don't know about something. I use this example a lot, but if someone was planning a surprise party for me, they would want to keep me in the dark. They would want to make sure that I don't know about the party. If they were planning like a surprise birthday party, they would all talk amongst themselves, but they would try to keep me in the dark. Sometimes governments do this as well. They do things that they know the citizens won't like, but they try to keep them in the dark. They don't let the press or the newspapers know, and they try to make sure people don't know what's going on. They keep them in the dark. Not a very good thing.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianThe other phrase I wanted to teach you today is a shot in the dark. Now, a shot in the dark is simply a guess. If you were to say to me what's 10 times 11 and I didn't know the answer, I might say, it's shot in the dark. It's probably around 110 or something like that. Anyways, a shot in the dark, that's a bad example. A shot in the dark is a guess. If you were to ask me how many English lessons have I made, I would say, and it's just a shot in the dark. At least over a thousand. Maybe close to 2000 if you combine the two channels. But that's just a shot in the dark. That's just a guess because I don't know the actual answer.So to review, when you are in the dark, it means you don't know about something. It means other people know, but you don't know. And a shot in the dark is simply a guess about something.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Klopcyna. Dear Bob, do your students know you are a successful YouTuber? Do they watch your videos? This question's come up before my response. Most do know, but few watch them. I think when they find out, it's cool and unique. But after a while it's just a normal thing. Yeah, once. Thanks, Klopcyna, for that comment. Once I'm their teacher and I start assigning homework and I start checking their homework and doing all the things that teachers normally do, like telling them to stop running in the hallway. I think they forget that I'm a YouTuber and that I'm doing quite well on YouTube.So yes, most of them know I think most of them think it's pretty cool. But the other thing I would say is this YouTube isn't as big a deal for them as some of the other social media apps they use. I don't consider YouTube necessarily a pure social media app or platform. I mostly use YouTube to learn new things and obviously to teach things. But for my students, I think it's a little more of the like TikTok, Snapchat, BeReal. All of those kinds of things are more important in their lives. So yeah. Do they know? Yes. Do they care? Maybe a little bit. I don't know. It doesn't really matter to me. I just hope that they learn something from me in the classes that I teach.So hey. Yep, it continues. Once again, I was not going to talk about the weather, but yeah, it's a little warmer as you can see, I'm able to be outside without a winter hat or gloves, but it's still definitely winter. I haven't had to clean the driveway again. I think what I miss the most is the sun. Like you can kind of see it up there behind the clouds. But I'm looking forward to not necessarily warmer weather. I don't mind if it stays a little bit cold. I think I'm looking forward to just a little more sunshine. I've been taking my vitamin D pill every day because I'm nSupport the show

We talk to Phil Soussan - Bassist, Songwriter & Producer. It would have been hard to predict the musical journey that Phil Soussan would take from being born and raised in London to being thrust into the Hard Rock spotlight of the 1980s, relocating to the USA as part of the Ozzy Osbourne band and being responsible for the huge hit single 'Shot In The Dark'. Phil has walked steadily and thoughtfully throughout his career making choices that felt right and continue to this day as bassist for Last In Line and a continual flow of production and performance roles. Special thanks to Affinity Photo - The hottest photo editing software on iPad, Mac & PChttps://affinity.serif.com/photoIntro Music by Johnny Monacohttps://www.johnnymonaco.com Incidental Music by Night Fires Please visit The 80s Video Shop Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow our very own 80s Video Shop. https://www.patreon.com/80sVideoShop

On a spring morning in 2017, a mother of three in Evansville, Indiana logged onto Facebook and noticed a story in her news feed that made her heart start to race. Just a couple of hours earlier, the body of a young woman was found in a field one town over – and police had no clue who the young woman was. The physical description was vague, but it matched all three of the woman's daughters. So right away, she picked up her phone and began trying to reach them, to make sure each of them was okay. Her two youngest girls replied within minutes, but the oldest one of them did not. And with every minute that passed without a word from her oldest daughter, the woman became more and more frantic until she reached out to a friend of hers on the police force. And what she soon would learn, before the morning became afternoon, would change her family's life forever... and change the course of two separate police investigations.For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the realm of old-time radio crime dramas, two iterations of "The Avenger" emerged in the United States. The first installment, broadcast weekly on WHN in New York City, aired from July 18, 1941, until November 3, 1942. The second version, syndicated nationally, ran from October 25, 1945, to April 18, 1946. In the 1941-1942 version, Richard Henry Benson, a crime-fighter with super-strength known as "The Avenger," was joined by his sidekick Fergus "Mac" MacMurdie. Benson was considered a blend of the Shadow and Doc Savage characters, combining elements of each in an attempt to replicate their commercial success. The 1945-1946 version of "The Avenger" was described as a "poor man's version of The Shadow" by radio historian John Dunning. Jim Brandon, the alter ego of the new Avenger, was a biochemist who used inventions like the Telepathic Indicator and Secret Diffusion Capsule to combat crime. Despite their differences, the two versions of "The Avenger" shared some similarities. The Avenger in both iterations had a loyal subordinate who knew his true identity, was hidden by a black light of invisibility, and could interpret the "thought flashes" of others. These similarities could be attributed to the fact that Walter B. Gibson, the creator of The Shadow, also played a role in shaping the character of The Avenger. In terms of personnel, the 1941-1942 version featured an unknown New York actor as Richard Henry Benson and Humphrey Davis as Fergus "Mac" MacMurdie, with Maurice Joachim as the director and Paul Ernst (writing as Kenneth Robeson) and Henry Ralston as writers. The 1945-1946 version had James Monks initially playing the lead role, later replaced by Dick Janaver, with Helen Adamson as assistant Fern Collier, George Ansbro as the announcer, Doc Whipple providing the music, and Charles Michelson as the producer. Writers for this version included Gil Braun, Ruth Braun, and Walter Gibson. The 1945-1946 version of "The Avenger," distributed by Charles Michelson Inc. of New York City, was syndicated via transcription, with 52 episodes available to stations across the nation. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dwight-allen0/support

EPISODE 45 - “Forgotten B-Leading Men of the Golden Age of Hollywood” - 07/22/2024 ** This episode is sponsored brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** Sometimes, there is nothing quite like a good old B-movie. Maybe the production values aren't the best, and maybe the story is grittier than most, but these little gems have provided hours of viewing pleasure to so many. These films also had great leading men in them. Studly, sturdy, reliable actors who might not be GARY COOPER or CARY GRANT or CLARK GABLE, but were handsome and talented and knew how to beat up the bad guys and win over the lovely leading lady. As an homage to the leading men of the B's, this week, we'll take a look at the lives an careers of five of our favorites.

In the last twenty-five years, ghost hunting has entered something of a golden age, with all sorts of technology playing its part and filling up an investigators kit bag. Cameras, EMF metres, InfraRed thermometers and spirit boxes all help to carve a science out of a difficult premise, with differing levels of credibility. In the early 1800s, things were a little bit different. It was a simpler time. All you needed back then was a stiff drink, or maybe two, and a loaded revolver, because as we all know, if you want to catch a ghost, you need to shoot it first. All well and good, provided the ghost you shoot isn't just a man in his work overalls. SOURCES Old Bailey Proceedings Online (1804) Trial of FRANCIS SMITH (t18040111-79).
