    It’s our 500th episode! Wow! Thanks to Rosie, Remy and Julien, and Dylan, Emily, and Michelle for their suggestions this week! Further reading: Crikey! Newly Discovered Snake Species Named After Steve Irwin Steve Irwin’s Treesnail A young Steve Irwin’s tree snail [photo taken from link above]: A marbled lungfish: A fennec, smallest and cutest of all foxes: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we have a brand new episode, because it's episode 500! Congratulations to me and to you too, listening to the 500th episode of a podcast! That doesn't happen very often! Despite the big 5-0-0, I'm going to treat this like a regular episode. Thanks to Dylan, Emily, and Michelle, Remy and Julien, and Rosie for their suggestions this week! We'll start with Dylan, Emily, and Michelle, who live in Australia. A while back now they got to visit the Australia Zoo, which is run by the Irwin family. Steve Irwin was a conservationist, science educator, and wildlife rehabilitator, also known as the Crocodile Hunter for his work relocating crocodiles who were endangering people, and vice versa. He died tragically young in 2006 but his wife and children continue his work. Michelle pointed out that Irwin has been honored by scientists who have named newly discovered animals for him, so let's learn about a few of them! The most recent one is a type of wolf snake discovered on the Great Nicobar Island off the coast of India and described in 2025, Lycodon irwini. It's mostly black in color with a slender body, and can grow as much as 47 inches long, or 119 cm. That's almost four feet long! Luckily it's non-venomous, plus it has only been found on that one island in evergreen forests, so you're not likely to run across one by accident. It probably eats small animals like frogs, but we don't know a whole lot about it yet. Back in 1990, Steve Irwin caught a strange turtle while fishing with his father, Bob, who was also a conservationist. Between them, the two men knew a whole lot about Australian wildlife but they didn't know what the turtle was. They sent pictures to a turtle expert, who determined that yes, it was a species new to science. It was described in 1997 and named Irwin's turtle, Elseya irwini. Irwin's turtle has a black and yellow carapace and lives in the lower part of the Burdekin River in northern Queensland. The female also has a light-colored head and other pale spots on the body. Like some other turtles, it can absorb oxygen from the water through its cloaca, which is often referred to as its butt. A chamber at the end of the cloaca contains structures that act like gills and absorb oxygen. This allows it to stay underwater longer, and in fact it can't survive in water that doesn't contain enough oxygen. As a result, Irwin's turtle is endangered due to habitat loss, especially from pollution and the damming of its river home. It used to be common but its numbers are in decline. The Australia Zoo started a captive breeding program to help conserve the species, and in 2023 they succeeded in hatching the very first Irwin's turtle babies ever bred in captivity. The last one is my favorite, a land snail named after Steve Irwin. It was described as a new species in 2009, only a few years after Irwin died, and was named Crikey steveirwini. It's the only species in the genus Crikey. It only lives in high altitudes in the tropical rainforests of northeastern Queensland. It's rare and not much is known about it, because it's so hard to find and so small. It has a cone-shaped shell that's striped with spiral bands of brown, yellow-brown, and white, and it only grows 15 mm long at most. Next, brothers Remy and Julien wanted to learn about the African lungfish. Lungfish are fascinating fish, because as you can probably guess from the name, they have gills but they also have lungs, and the fish needs both to get enough oxygen. Four species of lungfish live in Africa, all belonging to the family Protopteridae. They're eel-like in shape although they're not closely related to eels at all, with soft scales, and a dorsal fin that continues down the fish's back and continues around the end of the tail, since the dorsal fin and tail fin are actually fused into one big fin. Its only other fins are the pectoral and pelvic, which are very thin and are more like flexible legs than actual fins. The lungfish can actually crawl along the bottom of the swamp or lake with its fins, although it can also swim like an eel. While the African lungfish does have gills, they're small and are mostly associated with eliminating carbon dioxide instead of absorbing oxygen. The lungs do most of the work. The fish surfaces periodically to gulp fresh air into its lungs. It's one of the few fish that can drown if it can't surface for air. African lungfish eat insect larvae, especially of aquatic insects, crustaceans, mollusks, small fish, and frogs, but it can also sometimes eat seeds and other plant material. It usually lives in shallow water like swamps and small rivers, where there's not a lot of oxygen in the water. In many cases, its waterways dry up periodically, but the fish can still survive. As its water gets lower and lower, the lungfish digs into the mud and curls up, then secretes a thick mucus that helps retain moisture and stops its body from drying out. Its metabolism slows way down so it doesn't need to breathe very often, and it doesn't need to eat. It can survive this way for up to four years, although it usually only has to stay in its cocoon for a few months, until the rains return and its waterways fill up again. The smallest species of African lungfish is the East African lungfish, which only grows about 17 inches long, or 44 cm, while the largest is the marbled lungfish that can grow a whopping six and a half feet long, or two meters. Lastly, Rosie suggested we learn about the fennec fox, which lives in northern Africa. It's the smallest fox in the world, barely eight inches tall at the shoulder, or 20 cm, but it has incredibly large ears. Its ears can be as much as six inches long, or 15 cm. Part of the reason its ears are so big is so it can hear insects and other small animals moving around underground, but they're also big because they help dissipate heat from the fox's body into the air. Since the fennec lives in deserts, that's only one of many adaptations it has to the heat and lack of water. For instance, the fennec gets most of its water through the food it eats. It's also a nocturnal animal. The pads of its paws are protected by long, coarse hairs that grow between the pads, so hot sand won't burn its toe beans. The hair also gives the fox better traction in loose sand. The fennec's fur is a pale sandy color with a black tip to the tail, and it has dark eyes. It eats rodents, birds and their eggs, insects, scorpions, and other small animals, as well as fruit and other plant material. It can jump really far, some four feet in one bound, or 120 cm. Not only can it run really fast, it can change directions really quickly too. This helps it escape predators and catch prey. Fennecs can be social animals and like to play, even as adults. Pairs mate for life and both parents take care of the babies. A fennec's burrow can be very large and may even link up to neighboring fennec family burrow, so neighbors can visit each other without going out into the heat of the day.

    This week, the fellas kick things off with the latest developments in Lil Durk's federal murder-for-hire case, which leads into a bigger conversation about cooperating with authorities: when is “snitching” justified, and should the reason behind it matter? From there, we get into 49ers owner Jed York's prostitution case before jumping into sports. We discuss the NFL moving on from the traditional Pro Bowl game, new research examining CTE among former NFL players, and whether Druski's viral football skit was really comedy or commentary on the long-term consequences of the game. We also talk about Kwanza Jones and José E. Feliciano's group purchasing the San Diego Padres and what the deal means for Black ownership in Major League Baseball. Then we shift to the news, including the devastating Nepal-Tibet floods, the latest celebrity deaths, Target facing backlash over a controversial Halloween costume, Walmart finally adding Tap to Pay, and the bizarre federal case involving Daejon Love, who authorities say posed as a San Francisco 49ers player as part of a $1.3 million romance-investment scam. We also react to the viral Texas Roadhouse food-tampering allegation and separate what's actually been verified from what spread online. All that and more on this week's episode. for more,

    In an era where a brand's reputation is tethered to the relentless cycles of social media, silence is no longer a defensive strategy for brands and can even become a liability. In this episode of the Modern Retail Podcast, senior reporter Gabi Barkho is joined by crisis PR consultant Sam Gauchier to break down why the old-school public relations tactic of trying to sweep a major scandal under the rug is increasingly failing major brands. The latest example came this week, when Target quickly scrambled to do damage control after one of its children's Halloween costumes was called out for its depiction of blackface. Neutrogena is also facing backlash in the wake of former ambassador Hayden Panettiere's death, with many scrutinizing the brand's 2015 decision to sever ties with Panettiere after she discussed her postpartum depression experience. The criticism continued even after Neutrogena issued an apology.This week's podcast episode digs into: Whether "canceling" a brand is actually possible today. Why there is more pressure on brands to address consumer criticism head on.  Whether boycotts can hurt businesses in the long run.

Segment Rundown Cold open, grooming talk — Tom and Dan welcome Seth Petruzelli to the couch and razz him about his beard and blow-dried hair; a tangent on straighteners vs. blow-dryers leads into a bit about their wives' expensive Dyson hair tools. Recent celebrity deaths — The hosts run through a rough week of deaths, including Tim Curry, Dolly (referenced briefly), and the voice actor of Optimus Prime, riffing darkly on average lifespan. Seth's chronic chaos — Running bit that Seth is perpetually running late or juggling a crisis; today it's his dog and a vet appointment, plus it's revealed to be Seth's birthday. Seth's dog and Disney cruise — Seth brought his dog Rocky (a different Rocky than Tom's) on set; talk turns to Seth boarding him for four nights while Seth takes his first vacation in two and a half years, a Disney cruise with his wife and daughter Vera. Tom's dog Rocky and pet talk — Tom shows off his own dog Rocky on stream, admits he's been neglecting him since focusing on his young daughter, and the group jokes about pushing Tom's son Tommy toward wanting a dog or cat despite Tracy's reluctance. Karate class standards slipping — A tangent from the dojo talk about how kids today can't finish basic requirements (like a brown belt or three months of consistent training), tying into a broader "everything is getting weaker/no consequences" complaint, including schools making gym-class changing rooms optional now. Locker room embarrassment nostalgia — The hosts and Seth swap stories about being self-conscious getting undressed in front of others as kids and in a pro arena-football locker room as an adult. Seth's MRI/health update — Seth shares that he got a full-body MRI, compared it to one from two years prior, and got mostly good results except his prostate being "large side of normal." Seth's dojo being demolished — Seth explains his dojo's building is being torn down and he must vacate by November; he's negotiating a new space, planning to use students to help move (in exchange for food/drinks), and reflects on a black belt who's been especially helpful.

Dojo move logistics and mock fundraiser pitch — More detail on moving costs (a mirror company hired just to transport dojo mirrors, a dumpster for old equipment); the group jokingly pitches an absurd "buy a black belt" crowdfunding tier system, with Seth explaining the real distinction between an official ranked black belt and a "junior/in-house" one. AI in podcast production — The show discusses no longer paying a human for intro songs/jingles, now using AI for notes and occasionally songs (though they still do some manual ones too), and debate the line between AI convenience and "authenticity" compared to corporate radio. Prostitution sting debate — Sparked by 49ers owner Jed York's prostitution-sting arrest and a local Altamonte Springs sting ("Operation Midnight Heat," 37 arrests), the hosts argue undercover prostitution stings are a poor use of police resources compared to focusing on predators of minors, and make the case for regulating/legalizing sex work. Caller: Concrete Mike, prostitution talk — Concrete Mike calls in about hiring escorts for parties in the past; the call is plagued by a bad phone connection and cuts out repeatedly before the hosts move on. GTA 6 leak coverage — Detailed rundown of hacker "Cyber Leak's" leaked GTA 6 footage (starting August 18), new gameplay features (six-star wanted system, stamina and car-gas meters, a karma system, Red Dead-style bullet-time aiming), a leaked nudist-area clip, and a somber aside about how hyper-realistic "living a second life in a game" can feel. GTA franchise money talk — The hosts look up that the GTA franchise has made $11 billion total, with GTA 5 alone earning $815 million in its first 24 hours; confirmed November 19, 2026 release date for GTA 6. Caller: "J Volvo" — A young-sounding caller who turns out to be a 40-year-old Marine and brown belt calls in as a bit, pitching a "Fit Tom Fridays" 5K fundraiser idea for Seth's dojo; the hosts jokingly induct him as a rookie "cop" character and enjoy the surprise live call. New "Stage" Rock Band reboot — Discussion of an upcoming Rock Band-style rhythm game launching in December, with nostalgia about old Rock Band parties, and a broader riff on short attention spans/endless content (dating apps, streaming, mobile games) making it hard for any single game to hold interest. Six Flags roller coaster aneurysm story (teaser + full segment) — After a break, the hosts cover two women who suffered brain aneurysms riding Six Flags' X2 roller coaster, show POV footage of the ride's uniquely independently-spinning carts, and speculate (semi-jokingly) about the physics/anatomy behind why it happened. Flatulence and bathroom health talk — A crude tangent connecting back to Seth's MRI story, where he and the others discuss holding in gas, bowel habits, and general bathroom TMI. Voicemail: grandma question (Amedeus, Fort Myers) — A caller references a past on-air comment and asks which grandmother the hosts would rather "embarrass" in front of; leads to a riff on generational/cultural stereotypes about tougher vs. softer grandmothers. Voicemail: convenience store "big black mama" story (Debary Joe) — A caller shares a heartfelt/funny anecdote about a stranger's kindness at a gas station after a rough day, prompting brief pushback from a host about the framing of the story. Mad honey discussion — Seth explains he bought "mad honey" (a hallucinogenic honey from Nepal) and plans to have his wife try it first; the hosts detail its origins, effects, dangerous dosing risks, its history as an ancient biological weapon, and its recent viral popularity via a Joe Rogan clip. Nepal flooding aside — A brief, more serious detour about real disaster footage of catastrophic flooding in Nepal that circulated online. Psychedelics and mental health tangent — Talk shifts to Kratom, mushrooms, microdosing, and studies on psilocybin therapy for PTSD/anxiety; Seth admits he's more afraid of a mushroom trip than he ever was fighting professionally (referencing his MMA background against opponents like Kimbo Slice and Bob Sapp). Voicemail: adult content from caller "Mike" — A caller shares an explicit story from his younger years about hiring escorts for group parties at his house; the hosts summarize and react without repeating graphic detail. Voicemail: workplace exorcism question (BDM, Jacksonville) — A caller asks if anyone has heard of a business getting an exorcism, sparking a broader discussion about corporate superstition (feng shui, sage smudging, "energy"), with the hosts drawing a line between supernatural belief and legitimate ideas like attitude/mindset affecting outcomes. Voicemail: "Pure Pod" gadget — A caller points out that a produce-washing gadget advertised online is basically a vibrator; the hosts confirm the device is a real product marketed to skirt platform rules around selling sexual wellness items. Voicemail: old photo in ski resort system — A caller shares that a modern ski resort pulled up his decades-old childhood lift-ticket photo from a previous owner's records, leading to a discussion about how far back companies' digital recordkeeping goes and some personal skiing stories from the hosts. Dojo move update and wrap-up — Seth gives a final update: staying within a 3-mile radius under the new name "Soto Dojo," reviewing a lease, and dealing with a landlord dispute over alleged unpaid utility charges/liens the show insists were never billed properly. Studio/podcast future plugs and cruise pitch — The hosts float building a future glass-walled studio, mention recent released interviews (Patrick Warburton, Lorenzo Lamas), and give a detailed pitch for the upcoming Tom and Dan Cruise, including perks, cost, and booking details, before signing off. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned November 2026 — Seth must vacate his current dojo location due to the building being demolished. November 19, 2026 — GTA 6 release date (confirmed unchanged despite ongoing leaks). December (2026) — New "Stage" Rock Band-style rhythm game launches. Ongoing — Seth relocating his dojo to a new spot within a 3-mile radius, tentatively named "Soto Dojo"; lease still being finalized. September 23–27, 2027 — Tom and Dan Cruise aboard the MSC Seashore (Thursday–Sunday), stopping in Nassau and a private island; includes unlimited drink package and free Wi-Fi for two, a live podcast taping, birthday party, and gambling night; $200 fully refundable deposit holds a spot, with payment installments available through Ahoy Cruises; presented by JustCallMoe.com. Recently released — New Patrick Warburton interview episode and a Lorenzo Lamas interview from the previous night. Notable Guests/Callers Seth Petruzelli — In-studio guest; martial arts instructor whose dojo is being forced to relocate.

    How much liberty are you willing to trade for "safety" before the surveillance state becomes the point? And if Washington has a spending problem, why does every solution somehow involve taking more of your money? It's Dumb Bleep of the Week, and Flock Safety's AI-powered camera network kicks off a much bigger argument about government surveillance, privacy, probable cause, and whether Americans should ever accept a "compromise" between liberty and security. We also get into Target apologizing over a Halloween costume, Karen Attiah's fight with The Washington Post, a viral abortion argument framed around love, and the DSA's awkward problem with abolishing police and prisons. Then it's Thomas Massie versus Trump-world Republicans, the 17th Amendment, the $40 trillion national debt, federal spending versus tax revenue, Calvin Coolidge on taxation, Trump's "Lake America" antics, and a Callaway Golf ad that triggered an absurd corporate apology.

    Royce and Leise Winny kick off with a jam-packed check-in covering everything from the latest Disney and NFL apparel collaboration, AI engines giving openly biased advice, and Target pulling an offensive clown costume off the shelves, to looming economic anxiety, a week-long power crisis in Gary, Indiana, and an alarming rise in hate crimes across the country. They also unpack the political ripples of Hakeem Jeffries meeting with Jared Kushner and the online viral storm after an alleged racist group chat tied to Texas Roadhouse went public. From there, Royce takes the floor to examine how the modern attention economy is colonizing the WNBA, questioning who people are actually claiming to protect women's sports from while drawing some wild, hilarious dots across sports media. Leise then steps up to urge people to stop making excuses and say the quiet part out loud about voting motivations and systemic white supremacy. To round it out, Royce exposes the everyday "racial escape hatches" people lean on—from "I don't see color" to "it's not about race"—showing how modern society has somehow made the simple act of discussing race feel more offensive than the racial harm itself.Here is the full breakdown of topics the crew dives into this week:Opening welcome: Locking in the energy and setting the tone for the week.NFL x Disney Collaboration: Reacting to the new league-wide character apparel drops.AI's Racial Bias: What happens when AI tools spit out openly racist advice?The Target Costume Controversy: Dissecting the backlash that forced Target to pull their Halloween merchandise.US Economic D-Day: Breaking down the latest financial anxieties and shifting market pressures.Power Outage in Gary, IN: Addressing the humanitarian fallout of an entire city left in the dark for over a week.Spike in Hate Crimes: Confronting the disturbing rise in public violence and hangings of Black people across the US.Hakeem Meets Jared: Analyzing the political optics and quiet backroom meetings between Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner.Texas Roadhouse Exposed: Unpacking the internet investigation into the alleged racist employee group chats.WNBA Colonized by the Attention Economy: Who are we really protecting women's sports from, and has the outrage cycle overtaken the game?Dot Connector: Connecting the bizarre cultural dots between Enes Kanter, viral stunts, and sports media spectacles.Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud: Challenging the narrative around recent political choices and confronting the reality of white supremacy at the ballot box.The Racial Escape Hatches: Breaking down cliché deflections like "I don't see color," "green or purple," and why addressing race makes people uncomfortable.Outro & Sign-Off: Final takeaways, closing remarks, and wrap-up.

    Story of the Week (DR):Meta settles social media addiction case with California, other states for $16.7 billion MM5 Reasons to Be HappyAn $18 billion payout sets a historic legal precedent against Big Tech, directing billions in state funding toward youth mental health, counseling, and digital literacy programs.Instagram and Facebook must enforce default two-hour daily usage limits and completely block account activity between midnight and 6 a.m. for users under 18. Teens and parents gain the explicit right to disable addictive engagement algorithms in favor of a non-personalized, chronological feed.The settlement prohibits harmful beauty filters (such as cosmetic surgery simulators), hides "like" counts by default, and silences app notifications during school hours.Meta tied $5.3 billion of the payout to whether TikTok and YouTube adopt similar safety rules, forcing an industry-wide overhaul rather than penalizing just one app.5 Reasons to Be AngryPaid out over 10 years, the settlement amounts to roughly 10 days of Meta's annual profit, meaning Mark Zuckerberg's financial empire remains virtually unscathed.Meta's $17 billion child-safety settlement is the biggest tech payout ever—or 3x what it paid to acquihire a 28-year-old AI superstarTo put it in perspective, the $17.1 billion number is a little more than three times the roughly $5 billion personal stake that Alexandr Wang held in Scale AI, a data-labeling company that supplies the human-annotated training data AI models are built on. Last year, Meta paid $14.3 billion for a 49% stake in the company and brought in Wang to lead its AI efforts of its new Superintelligence Labs, reporting directly to Mark Zuckerberg.Meta legally denies all wrongdoing, dodging true legal accountability for intentionally engineering addictive, mentally harmful features.The agreement alters user interface features and screen time, but leaves Meta's underlying data-harvesting business model completely untouched.Critical safeguards—like switching off algorithmic feeds—are opt-in settings rather than permanent defaults, shifting enforcement onto parents.Meta only pays 70% ($12.7 billion) upfront; the remaining $5.3 billion is contingent on competitors settling on identical terms, giving Meta a potential financial discount if rivals refuse. Worst headline of the week: Meta's $17.1 billion settlement will be over 12-times larger than the second largest big tech privacy settlement in the past four yearsMeta's $18 billion settlement leaves out the child protections New Mexico already won at trial, its Attorney General says: including a direct ban on romantic and sexualized AI chatbot interactions with minors and stronger safeguards against adults targeting kids in private messagesMM: Settlement gapsAge assurance:Meta may elect to use one or more Proprietary Age Assurance Methods. In such event, Meta shall not benefit from the presumption of compliance set forth in Section II.A.3.a. Additionally, Meta will maintain continuous oversight of any Proprietary Age Assurance Method sufficient to ensure that the method is functioning as intended.Tax deductibleThe Settling States shall cause to be completed and timely filed a Form 1098-F with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that identifies not less than 50% of the amounts paid to the Settling States as compensatory restitution and remediation within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. § 162(f)(2)(A)THEY BUNDLED CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA INTO THE SETTLEMENT$459m of the $17bn is the “Cambridge payout” - they can now put that behind them tooIs there a reason not to literally take Meta all the way? Why settle at all! Midterm elections? TAKE EVERYTHING! Meanwhile, while you settle this: Meta's creepy smart glasses are part of a much bigger plan“At the same time, Meta is using the content generated across its ecosystem to support Mark Zuckerberg's vision of a pervasive, AI-driven future. Zuckerberg's 2026 manifesto describes a world where personal AI agents will do your bidding. But building those systems requires more than conventional AI models. It also requires enormous amounts of data about human behavior, much of it generated and shared through Instagram, Facebook, and other Meta apps, or captured through hardware such as phones, smart glasses, and EMG Neural Band devices.”“We become “algorithm chow,” feeding the models intended to realize Zuckerberg's vision.”'We Know We Got This Wrong': Target Apologises and Pulls 'Offensive' Halloween Costume After Racist BacklashAn apology from us: We pulled an offensive Halloween costume that should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer for sale. As a company, we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.Target Statement on Offensive Halloween Costume: As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. The costume is offensive and should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer available for sale. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.The statement comes directly from Target's Corporate Communications department speaking on behalf of the entire enterprise, rather than a single individual like the CEO or Board Chair. Corporate apologies are deliberately released without a human signature for several strategic and legal reasons:Legal Personhood: Legally under U.S. law, Target Corporation is treated as a single legal entity (often called "corporate personhood"). It can sign contracts, hold liability, and issue official statements as an institution rather than as individual people.Leaving executive names off the statement prevents media coverage from focusing on a specific person (e.g., "CEO Brian Cornell Apologizes"). It keeps the focus on the company's operational changes and prevents individual leaders from becoming personal lightning rods for public backlash.These statements are rarely drafted by an executive. They are heavily scrubbed by legal counsel, crisis PR managers, and corporate strategy teams. Attaching a CEO's signature to a text engineered by a dozen lawyers and communications staff can actually feel less authentic internally.Phrasing the apology around "we" and "the company" establishes institutional accountability. It signals that the failure occurred in corporate vetting systems, not just from one bad decision-maker.In January 2025, Target Corporation announced the termination of its REACH initiative and restructuring of its Supplier Diversity program, marking one of the largest corporate DEI rollbacks in recent history. This decision has triggered public backlash, legal scrutiny, and investor uncertainty.Callaway Golf CEO apologizes after Good Good ad showing male golfer shoving woman sparks backlashCallaway Golf CEO Chip Brewer on Tuesday apologized for an advertisement that sparked an online backlash for its depiction of a male golfer shoving a female golfer to the ground when she attempts to use his driver."That approval should never have happened. Mistakes were made, and we are taking the matter very seriously," Brewer wrote on Tuesday. "I want to make it clear that we sincerely apologize for the video." Callaway released a statement Thursday explaining its reasoning behind ending the brand partnership: "Over the last several days, we have reflected deeply on the hurt and disappointment caused by the video we reposted. We heard from individuals who shared personal experiences related to violence against women, and their stories were powerful reminders that this issue touches the lives of far too many people. Unequivocally, violence against women is unacceptable and should never be trivialized, normalized, or used as entertainment.""In this instance, our content review process was not comprehensive enough …We have taken appropriate internal corrective actions and significantly strengthened our approval procedures to help ensure this does not happen again."The brand added that it would donate $1 million to organizations that aim to "prevent violence against women, provide resources to survivors, and advance education and awareness efforts."The online video ad, which was released online and has since been pulled, sparked criticism for depicting violence against women, while some consumers said they planned to stop buying products made by Callaway.Brewer said the ad, created by Good Good Golf, was released last week to promote a co-branded driver and had been approved by Callaway before the spot was posted online. The ad featured Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark telling Alexis Miestowski, a former Division I female golfer, in a menacing voice, "Do not touch my new driver," after he shoves her to the ground.Good Good is an American sports YouTube channel and company based in Frisco, Texas. Founded in 2020 by Garrett Clark, Stephen Castaneda, CEO Matt Kendrick, and Matt Scharff.Owner: Scoreboard ventures: co-founders Nahid Giga and Brian DickLead Investor: Creator Sports Capital — a firm co-founded by former YouTube executive Benjamin Grubbs and investment executive Brian Kabot.Good Good's CEO went nuclear on Callaway after the brand cut ties over an ad scandal"Interesting that @CallawayGolf asks us to make an ad then approves it then asks us to take the fall then drops us in a coordinated media blitz and covers it up by giving a million dollars away thinking everyone will be ok with it," Matt Kendrick wrote in a post on X.The ad fallout has had major repercussions for Good Good's business beyond the loss of its Callaway partnership. Dick's Sporting Goods yanked Good Good products from shelves, and the golf group pulled out as a title sponsor for a PGA Tour event in the fall. The reverberation has spread to the Golf Channel, which scrapped the upcoming season of its reality golf series "Big Break," whose grand prize was entry into the PGA Tour event that Good Good was supposed to have sponsored.FFA:14% have merit2 women!

    In our final episode, where we leave the West, we're tackling something a little different - a contemporary western, and one that adds some weirdness to the proceedings with Bone Tomahawk. This horror-tinged western stars the good man Kurt Russell as a sheriff bound to his duty to track down kidnapped townsfolk who might be eaten by the neighborly troglodytes. We talk about the influences, the suspense, and the potential sus-ness of S. Craig Zahler's debut film.We're also drinking Blue Barrel's New Fashioned Hard Root Beer!Red Hot Action Summer is over, but that means we're starting our Halloween season. We'll be back in September with our new event, running all Samhain long.

    Weird Darkness: Stories of the Paranormal, Supernatural, Legends, Lore, Mysterious, Macabre, Unsolved

    Nobody in the Victorian era who claimed to see a ghost described lace and corsets – that look came from the magazine trade that discovered ghost stories were cheap to print and easy to cut to length.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/VictorianGhostsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4p69wekwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Victorian-era ghosts… they seem to haunt not only our imaginations, but also our Halloween wardrobes. Why were people in the mid-to-late 1800s so obsessed with the supernatural? And why are we so fascinated by Victorian ghost stories still today? (What's The Deal With Victorian Ghosts?) *** The story of Queen Esther is chilling – full of an Iroquois warrior woman's quest for vengeance, brutal warfare, haunting legends, ghostly wails, and a curse that many believe still has power even today. (The Curse of Queen Esther) *** No one can remember exactly when the ghost story began, but records show it dates back to at least 1926. The tale centers around the Administration Offices of Rockford School District 205 on South Madison Street, formerly Rockford High School. Built in 1885, the school gained a spooky reputation due to eerie events reported in its underground tunnels. After a tragic accident in the school's swimming pool claimed the life of a student named Gosta Anderson, strange sightings and sounds fueled the legend of his restless spirit, haunting the very site where he died. (Gosta's Ghost) *** Plumas County, California, holds a chilling mystery that dates back to 1978. On a winter night with a half-moon, five friends left a basketball game at California State University, Chico, and drove away, never to be seen again. Their car was found abandoned on a remote mountain road, leading to a series of eerie discoveries, unanswered questions, and clues that still baffle investigators today.

    230. Why the Target Halloween Costume Controversy Could Happen to Most Brands

    Target is facing backlash over a children's Halloween costume consumers said resembled racist minstrel imagery. But the controversy reveals a bigger marketing problem that could happen at many brands. In this episode of Frictionless Growth Lab, Sonia Thompson explores what the Target controversy can teach marketing leaders about cultural intelligence, marketing strategy, and customer experience. You'll learn why cultural intelligence shouldn't be outsourced to DEI—and three questions brands should ask to build it into their marketing infrastructure, protect customer trust and brand reputation, and catch cultural risk before it reaches consumers. For CMOs, marketing leaders, and growth marketers, it's a timely lesson in why understanding your customers must extend beyond what they buy to how you serve them.

    Prometheus is unbound as Jason Reza Jorjani arrives at the Virtual Alexandria to discuss his latest book, Occult Horizons. Of course, we'll take the Gnostic angle. Jason will grant us a mind-bending exploration of existence where consensus reality is unmasked as a plastic, simulated matrix governed by a machinic demiurge. We'll investigate how corporate archons and panoptic wardens deploy hyperreal signals to police our perception and trap us in scripted, bureaucratic loops. By tracking the cracks, glitches, and ontological shocks that fracture this counterfeit system, we map the initiatory process where trauma becomes an aperture to higher sight. Join us as we discard spiritual submission and reclaim the sovereign, un-spooked ego capable of hacking the cosmic CPU and authorizing its own future.

Whitney shares how Dolly's words helped her find peace after IVF and embrace a life without children. Courtney recalls seeing 9 to 5 in the theaters with Momma and Daddy which eventually led to her showing up to an NFL player's Halloween party dressed as Dolly.

    I'm a little obsessed with Widow's Bay. It's a horror-comedy series on Apple TV set on a fictional island off the coast of Massachusetts. The island isn't as famous as Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket -- for good reason. Widow's Bay is cursed by a demonic entity. The show is nominated for 19 Emmy Awards, including Best Comedy, and I talked with their Emmy nominated production designer, Steve Arnold. We discuss the careful worldbuilding needed to blend horror and comedy, real and fake history, and subtle references to Jaws, The Fog, Halloween, The Shining, Carrie, and other works by Stephen King. We also look at why some of the props on the show became viral hits, like a set of creepy fake board games. We also have an update on our 2022 episode "Monsters in the Static: Why Gen Z Is Afraid of Analog Horror." I talk with digital folklore expert Diane A. Rodgers about why the web series Backrooms became a blockbuster film that resonated with younger fans this summer.
