When a volcano stirs, who do you trust? This episode dives into the recent seismic activity of Iliamna volcano, contrasting scientific data with dramatic, religiously-tinged speculation about "Lord Vulcan." We expose the dangers of abandoning expert geological analysis for fear-based, supernatural narratives. It's a hilarious yet critical look at how dogma tries to explain natural events, highlighting the crucial importance of secular principles and relying on actual volcanologists for real insights, especially when communities are at risk.

We mention our friend Tim Pool and dive into the setup for the Wheel of Doom, which is loaded with 60 videos today—potentially a record! We're aiming to beat our all-time high score of 9,300 points. Social Media and Livestream Prep: Discussing the platforms we're streaming on and the excitement of going live. Tim Pool and Comedy Connections: Mentioning a conversation with Tim Pool about Stephen Colbert and how Sam stepped in when Dave Smith wasn't available. Wheel of Doom Setup: Hyping up the wheel with 60 videos and our goal to hit a high score. 0:15:00 - 0:30:00 - The Blair Witch Project: A Psychological Experiment? The first spin lands on a video about The Blair Witch Project, revealing its production as a real-life psychological experiment. We dive into how the filmmakers pushed actors to their limits with minimal scripting, GPS coordinates, and intentional deprivation to capture genuine fear. This sparks a discussion about the ethics of such filmmaking and its impact on the found footage genre. Blair Witch's Unconventional Filming: Actors were left in the woods, sleep-deprived, and scared by directors to elicit real reactions. Ethical Debate: Was this genius or borderline torture? We ponder if we'd sign up for such a project. Cultural Impact: The film's viral marketing and low-budget success (made for $60,000, grossed $250 million) redefined horror. 0:30:00 - 0:45:00 - Flat Earth Theories and the Amazon River The wheel spins to a video claiming the Amazon River's flow challenges the globe Earth model, suggesting a flat plane of existence. We react with a mix of intrigue and skepticism, noting the video's disclaimer that it's for “entertainment purposes only.” This leads to a broader discussion about conspiracy theories and their presentation online. Amazon River and Flat Earth: The video argues the river's unidirectional flow defies a globe's curvature, implying a flat Earth. Skepticism and Cop-Outs: We criticize the “entertainment only” disclaimer as a way to dodge accountability. Conspiracy Culture: Reflecting on how platforms like TikTok shape the spread of such theories. 0:45:00 - 1:00:00 - The Matrix and Brain Symbolism Another spin brings us to a video linking The Matrix to brain science, suggesting Neo's journey represents moving from the reptilian brain to the neocortex. We explore this metaphor for consciousness and control, touching on Freemasonry and the film's deeper meanings. We also briefly discuss movie recommendations for Alistair Crowley, favoring Fantastic Four over the new Superman. Matrix Symbolism: Neo's plug-in at the neck symbolizes the reptilian brain, while his awakening reflects the neocortex and higher consciousness. Freemasonry Connection: The video ties brain regions to Masonic degrees, sparking curiosity about hidden meanings. Movie Talk: We debate Superman's slapstick tone versus Fantastic Four's stronger reception. 1:00:00 - 1:15:00 - Sam's Corner: Funny and Emotional Clips In Sam's Corner, we share handpicked videos, starting with a hilarious clip of a kid caught with a hooker, claiming he's going to marry her to dodge trouble. We then get emotional watching a tribute to Hulk Hogan, reflecting on his legacy despite past controversies, including a fake voiceover clip of him making offensive remarks. Hooker Mishap: A kid's desperate excuse that he's marrying a hooker cracks us up. Hulk Hogan Tribute: A heartfelt video from The Rock about Hogan's wrestling legacy, contrasted with a fake clip highlighting his controversial past. Nostalgia and Wrestling: We reminisce about our love for pro wrestling and Hogan's iconic moves. 1:15:00 - 1:34:52 - Conspiracy Deep Dive and Bizarre News The final segment is a whirlwind of conspiracy and oddities. We discuss a video linking Sabrina Carpenter to occult symbolism in Rosemary's Baby and Eyes Wide Shut, a creepy ad for glowing smart implants, and a disturbing story about a serial butt sniffer arrested in California. We wrap up with plugs for our projects and a nod to the Doomers. Sabrina Carpenter Conspiracy: Connections to Lucifer quotes, Rosemary's Baby fonts, and Eyes Wide Shut suggest Hollywood occult ties.

Awake Patients, Better Outcomes with Kali Dayton

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat! In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Kali Dayton, nurse practitioner, international consultant, and the bold voice behind the Awake and Walking ICU movement. Together, they peel back the curtain on a common but rarely questioned practice in critical care: routine heavy sedation of patients on ventilators.Kali shares her journey from a nurse in a pioneering ICU—where awake, mobile, intubated patients were the norm—to a world where comatose ventilator patients are the expectation. She unpacks the hidden harms of automatic sedation, sharing both eye-opening research and the heart-wrenching stories of ICU survivors who left with trauma, cognitive struggles, and fractured lives.Dr. Bonta and Kali explore how culture, habit, and outdated beliefs have shaped critical care—and challenge us all to rethink what's possible. Is it really safer, easier, or kinder to keep patients sedated? Or can presence, mobility, and human connection transform not just survival, but recovery?Get ready to question what you thought you knew about the ICU, discover what's already possible in some hospitals, and hear a call to action for compassionate, evidence-based change. If you work in healthcare—or might ever need it—this is a conversation you can't afford to miss. Let's ditch the lab coat and reimagine patient care, one episode at a time.Episode HighlightsRethinking ICU Sedation — Most ventilated patients don't require deep sedation—remaining awake can actually improve outcomes and reduce harm.Hidden Harm of Sedation — Automatic sedation often leads to delirium, long-term trauma, and cognitive impairment for many ICU survivors.Awake and Walking ICU Model — It's possible and beneficial to keep intubated patients awake and mobile; some ICUs already achieve this routinely.Cultural Myths in Medicine — Common ICU practices persist due to unexamined traditions, not necessarily the latest evidence or patient-centered thinking.Preventing Delirium Is Key — Early avoidance of sedation and encouraging mobility drastically decrease risks of ICU delirium and related complications.Power of Patient Stories — Listening to ICU survivors reveals the real, lasting harms of unnecessary sedation and challenges clinical assumptions.Team Buy-In Essential — Successful change requires educating and involving the entire healthcare team, from doctors to bedside nurses.Early Mobility Saves Lives — Mobilizing patients—even walking them—within hours of intubation is not only feasible, but can improve recovery.Family Involvement Matters — Informing and including families in care expectations helps calm patients and supports a less traumatic ICU experience.Start Small, Lead Change — Begin cultural transformation with one patient, one team—small steps can drive a revolution toward better, humane care.Episode Timestamps05:14 — Challenges of Mechanical Ventilation 06:57 — ICU Nursing: Breathing Tube Walks 10:14 — ICU Norms Challenged: Breathing Tubes 13:16 — Pioneering Awake, Mobile Patient Care 19:11 — Awake and Walking ICU Initiative 22:06 — Rethinking Hospital DVT Practices 25:42 — Sedation Considerations Before Intubation 27:20 — Reducing Delirium in ICU Care 32:57 — Sedation: Not Just Laughing Gas 36:24 — Rounding Culture and ICU Challenges 39:08 — Improving ICU Care: ABCDEF Protocol 41:23 — Rethinking Patient Sedation Practices 44:14 — Improving ICU Patient Care 47:38 — Revolutionizing Awake ICU CareDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we unpack the article “An Exploration of Missional Expressions in an Age of Skepticism.” As cultural trust in Christianity declines and indifference replaces curiosity, the Church finds itself at a crossroads—much like the early believers in Acts 28:22, who were “spoken against everywhere.”We explore how this cultural shift is not just a challenge but a Spirit-led opportunity for bold, authentic discipleship and Kingdom multiplication. What does it mean to thrive missionally in a world that is no longer listening the way it used to? How do we form courageous disciples, equip everyday missionaries, and rethink church systems to foster vibrant witness in the margins?Join us as we discuss redefining success, discerning spiritual openness, and cultivating leaders for a world that demands faithfulness more than familiarity.

Carl Sagan wasn't a prophet, just a brilliant scientist who saw the writing on the wall decades ago. This episode unpacks his chillingly accurate predictions about America's descent into misinformation, scientific illiteracy, and a society where critical thinking is abandoned for superstition. We dive deep into how his warnings about issues like climate change were tragically ignored, highlighting the dangers of prioritizing profit over people and the urgent need for a return to reason. It's a stark reminder of the uphill battle against denial, and why teaching skepticism to future generations is our only hope against unchecked power and climate catastrophe.

For decades, fusion energy has been the promise that never arrives—always twenty years away. Despite billions poured into tokamaks, inertial confinement, and plasma reactors, the finish line keeps moving. But what if the answer was never in extreme heat... but in solid metal at room temperature?In this explosive episode, we sit down with NASA researcher Lawrence Forsley to explore lattice confined fusion—a revolutionary approach that produces nuclear fusion inside metal lattices using just five volts. No reactors, no plasma, no fire. It's a direct descendant of the infamous 1989 "cold fusion" press conference by Fleischmann and Pons, which the scientific establishment mocked and buried for decades. But now, the experiments are more precise, the physics more refined, and the implications more profound. Because if fusion at room temperature is real, everything changes—energy, propulsion, even our understanding of stars.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

My kingdom has come upon you because My power (and My disciples' power) comes from God (vs. 19–20). D. Satan is a strongman, but I am The Strongman who plunders His kingdom (vs. 21–22). IV. To which strongman are you committed? A. The one whose power and authority lead to life and gathering others into that life (v. 21–23). B. The one whose power and authority lead to evil and death (vs. 24–26) V. Blessings come to those who hear and obey the Strongman's word (vs. 27–28)

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber is firmly back in the global spotlight after dropping his surprise seventh studio album, Swag, on July 11, 2025. The album, his first in over four years, has drawn major headlines for its raw and deeply personal themes, with collaborations from big names like Gunna, Sexyy Red, Cash Cobain, and gospel vocalist Marvin Winans. Swag is being celebrated as Bieber's most vulnerable and stripped-down work yet, a product of his newfound creative independence after parting ways with longtime manager Scooter Braun in 2023. People Magazine reports that Braun himself described the album as “beautiful” and “raw” and insiders say Hailey Bieber supported Justin every step of the way during its creation.Bieber's lyrics and recent social media posts echo ongoing struggles with mental health and public pressure, opening up about feeling “unworthy” and at times “broken.” This honest approach is resonating with fans old and new. The album release was accompanied by a family-centric European vacation—Justin shared intimate photos of himself with Hailey and their son Jack, who is about to celebrate his first birthday, on Instagram, giving fans a rare look inside their family life. While Hailey was working on her Rhode skincare pop-up in Mallorca, the couple seemed closer than ever, addressing—if indirectly—the persistent but unfounded breakup rumors swirling on social media. E! News picked up on Justin's own post declaring his devotion to Hailey, shutting down speculation with a simple four-word caption, “If it's not Hailey.”Swag's surprise release reignited speculation about a possible Coachella 2025 appearance following a viral Reddit thread and Pop Base tweet, but so far, festival organizers have offered no official confirmation. Skepticism remains due to last year's festival controversies and fan concerns about Bieber's health and stability after his much-publicized battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused partial facial paralysis and led to the cancellation of his previous world tour.Businesswise, Bieber remains a powerhouse. His estimated net worth in 2025 is $200 million, fueled not just by music but by brand deals, fashion collaborations, and the lucrative sale of his music catalog to Hipgnosis for another $200 million. He's also been visible in new clips for the lifestyle brand Skylrk, with Extra Chill noting “he is indeed standing on business.” Media outlets in the US and Latin America are buzzing about the possibility of a new tour—sites like Rebel Music and Los 40 suggest shows in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Las Vegas—but no dates or official announcements have been made, and it remains unclear if Bieber will return to the road. What's clear is that Justin Bieber's new era—defined by creative control, vulnerability, and family focus—is making waves across both music charts and celebrity headlines.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Optography is the process of viewing or retrieving an optogram, an image on the retina of the eye. A belief that the eye "recorded" the last image seen before death was widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was a frequent plot device in fiction of the time, to the extent that police photographed the victims' eyes in several real-life murder investigations, in case the theory was true. The concept has been repeatedly debunked as a forensic method.
