This week on Your Mom's House, Tom Segura and Christina P are joined by storytelling savant, Broadway boy, and sleepwalking legend Mike Birbiglia! Tom and Christina kick off the show glazing Tom's newly released Netflix series Bad Thoughts. They also check out some wild clips that include a fat as shit Steven Seagal, Daddy Reecie laying down the law, farting girls, gay walls, and threesome with a mother that'll make your skin crawl (or turn you on?) The Main Mommies also chime in on convicted SA-er Gerard Depardieu peeing on a plane. Who does that remind you of? If you said "Bert", you're probably right. Mike Birbiglia next enters the Mommy Dome and dives deep into how he went from sleepwalking out a window to developing one-man shows, hitting Broadway, and being in a Taylor Swift video. He shares how his religious parents reacted to his material, what it's like entertaining the Pope, and how becoming a dad has shifted his lens on life, comedy, and swim meets. Plus, they also talk bad radio shows, booking nightmares, bouncing checks, comedy condos full of pubes, and that time Uber warned Tom about a shootout. Mike and Tom also get into legacies, asking their dads the tough questions, and what it's like raising kids who could not care less about their famous dads. Plus Enny still does not likes gay stuff and CP's lipstick is still poppin'!

Sleepwalking is a disorder that comes on during the deep sleep phase, from one to three hours after falling asleep. Episodes can last from 5 to 30 minutes and despite the condition's name, they don't always involve walking. Often people just rub their eyes, sit up on their bed or talk in their sleep.  According to the NHS, one in five children will sleepwalk at least once in their life. Meanwhile, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine says that prevalence in adults is up to 4%. So it's clearly more common in kids than in adults, and most kids tend to grow out of it when they hit their teens. Bear in mind a tendency to sleepwalk can be inherited. Is it a common disorder? How on earth am I as an adult going to realise if I sleepwalk? How responsible are we for our actions when sleepwalking? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

One night, after finishing his schoolwork, he falls asleep, only to find himself in an eerily familiar room in his house. What starts as a typical dream soon turns into something far more sinister. Staring into a tall mirror, he experiences a feeling of being watched by a menacing, eight-foot-tall shadow man. As his nightmare intensifies, he finds himself physically moving in a half-asleep state, only to wake up the next morning to an unsettling discovery—a flashlight that was never part of the dream is lying next to him.

After my long kōrero with Sammy to prepare this episode, my head was spinning from all the twists and turns of her story. After 57 years of personal and financial trauma, last year, in 2024, Sammy had her “aha” moment when she said “Screw it, I'm sick of this,” and started to let a little light shine on her money. Once she had opened the door a crack, she basically just ripped the whole roof off her financial life, and has had a complete, and hopefully permanent, financial transformation. She's not done yet; she has some mahi in front of her, but she is well on her way. I'll often meet people who blow up their financial lives for the better, and the progress they make is astounding. Sammy is one of these people. Twice divorced, and with three children, one of whom has special needs, she has spent many years often living below the poverty line and buying bread and milk on a credit card that she could not pay off, and sometimes she has made decisions that kept her on the poverty line. Over the decades, she trained as a teacher and stabilised her situation, but still made questionable financial choices, until finally, aged 58 today, she is charging ahead.

Matt Roeske of CultivateElevate.com hops on for a call to rip through a bunch of topics that I have been meaning to talk with him about. We're starting in the Gilded Age, where the industrial revolution was steamrolling along, technology was on the rise, and the roots for one of the earliest major human cloning theories were being laid.

In this enlightening episode of Quite Frankly, host Frankie Val welcomes Matt Roeske, the founder of Cultivate Elevate, for a wide-ranging conversation on healing, mind, body, and planet. Roeske brings his signature blend of practical wisdom and big-picture thinking to topics that range from the poisoning of the food supply to EMF pollution, terrain theory, water restructuring, and the spiritual awakening unfolding across the world. They discuss the power of ancient superfoods like pine pollen and pearl powder, the importance of structured water, and how frequency and vibration, through everything from organite pyramids to Schumann resonance, can help recalibrate our bodies and our environments. Roeske breaks down how globalist systems manipulate our perception of reality and offers tangible, empowering ways to opt out of their matrix, starting with food, air, and light. Frankie and Matt also examine the collapse of big pharma's credibility, the deceptive roots of virology, and how the path to true sovereignty begins with personal accountability and reconnecting to nature. Whether you're new to the health freedom movement or already deep down the rabbit hole, this episode is a refreshing, high-vibe conversation that blends science, spirit, and solutions.

In this episode of Real Ghost Stories Online, one man finds himself shivering in the middle of the night, standing shoeless at the gate of a centuries-old row of houses he never intended to visit. Did he simply sleepwalk? Or was he drawn by a force connected to the reportedly haunted park just steps away?

This case is the kind of legal puzzle that makes you wonder just how much we really know about the human brain. A Texas jury just found 21-year-old Benjamin Elliott guilty of murder for stabbing his twin sister, Meghan, in the neck while she slept. The twist? Elliott claims he was sleepwalking at the time. Let's rewind to 2021. Elliott was just 17 when he plunged a survival knife into his sister's neck in their family home in Katy, Texas. According to his version of events, he was deep in a dream, completely unaware of what he was doing—until he suddenly snapped awake and realized the horror in front of him. In his initial statement to investigators, Elliott said: “I freaked out and, like, put the knife down and put a pillow on her to try and stop the bleeding. Then called, you know, 911 from my phone.” But Meghan's injuries were fatal. No amount of frantic backpedaling could undo what had just happened. After five hours of deliberation, the jury delivered its verdict: guilty of murder. The judge then handed down a 15-year sentence—far less than the 99 years he could have faced. And why? Because the jury itself asked for leniency. From the very beginning, Elliott's lawyer, Wes Rucker, built the entire defense on one question: Why would a kid with no motive, no history of violence, and a deep love for his sister do something this horrific—unless he wasn't truly awake? Sleepwalking as a legal defense isn't unheard of, but it's rare. The idea is that someone in a sleepwalking state is essentially on autopilot, moving and acting without conscious control. It's not a crime of passion, not a premeditated attack—it's just the brain misfiring in the worst way possible. And Elliott's family backed up his claim. His older sister even testified that he had a history of bizarre, trance-like episodes. One time, she recalled, he stood in a doorway with his eyes barely open, unresponsive. When she touched his shoulder, he simply turned and went back to bed, completely unaware of what had happened. Sounds convincing, right? Not according to the prosecution. Prosecutors didn't buy the sleepwalking angle for a second. While they couldn't present a clear motive, they did drop some evidence suggesting Elliott was definitely awake shortly before the stabbing. For one, he was using his phone about 20 minutes before the attack. That's a pretty big red flag. Unless he was sleep-texting—(which, to be fair, is a thing, but not exactly common)—it suggests he was fully conscious leading up to the crime. Then there was the way he handled the aftermath. Prosecutors argued that after stabbing Meghan, Elliott had the presence of mind to call 911 and even use a pillow to muffle her screams. That doesn't sound like someone in a mindless sleepwalking state—it sounds like someone trying to control the situation. Assistant District Attorney Megan Long put it bluntly: "While I didn't give you motive, I did give you premeditation. It's not a coincidence that the knife he got the night before is the same knife he used to kill his sister.” This left the jury in a tough spot. They clearly weren't convinced by the sleepwalking defense, but they also weren't sold on the idea that Elliott was a cold-blooded killer. If they had believed this was a calculated murder, they could have recommended a much harsher sentence. Instead, they asked the judge for leniency—which is exactly what he gave. Not everyone agrees with the jury's verdict. Neurologist Dr. Jerald Simmons, who testified for the defense, flat-out said: "I think the jury got it wrong. It's totally possible [to kill while sleepwalking]. If it wasn't possible, I wouldn't have taken this position.” He pointed out that, while rare, similar cases have happened before. For example, back in 2010, a North Carolina man was found not guilty after claiming he was sleepwalking when he smothered his 4-year-old son and attacked two other children. In that case, experts testified that extreme stress and sleep deprivation could trigger violent sleepwalking episodes. But in Elliott's case? The jury just wasn't convinced enough to let him walk free. So, was Benjamin Elliott a tragic victim of a sleep disorder? Or did the jury just spare a young man from spending his entire life in prison because they weren't totally sure of his intentions? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

For example, back in 2010, a North Carolina man was found not guilty after claiming he was sleepwalking when he smothered his 4-year-old son and attacked two other children. In that case, experts testified that extreme stress and sleep deprivation could trigger violent sleepwalking episodes. But in Elliott's case? The jury just wasn't convinced enough to let him walk free. So, was Benjamin Elliott a tragic victim of a sleep disorder? Or did the jury just spare a young man from spending his entire life in prison because they weren't totally sure of his intentions? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Britain's free speech crisis is deepening. Police are knocking on doors over online opinions, and laws meant to target hate speech are being used to silence dissent. When Elon Musk highlighted the UK's grooming gang scandals, the media attacked him rather than the perpetrators or the people in power who neglected it.Tom Slater, editor of Spiked Online, joins me to break down how Britain is sleepwalking into censorship. We discuss the rise of authoritarian speech restrictions, how woke culture shapes media and politics, and why merely mentioning the background of grooming gang offenders is now politically dangerous.We also dive into Slater's viral Cambridge Union speech, where he dismantled claims that Trump is a 21st-century fascist. Is labeling populists as fascists a way to shut down debate? And what does this say about the political elite's fear of ordinary voters?Prenumerera eller stötta Rak högerI takt med att fler blir betalande prenumeranter har Rak höger kunnat expandera med fler skribenter och mer innehåll.

Sleepwalking has been misunderstood for thousands of years— and still is. Things like sleep talking, eating, driving, and cooking have taken many by surprise, but some sleepwalking instances are so bizarre that they end in murder. So what exactly does it take for a non-violent sleepwalker to uncharacteristically murder their loved ones? And how does a legal defense even begin to convince a jury of non-insane automatism due to sleepwalking?

In this episode, I sit down with John O'Sullivan, a former policy and speech writer for British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and former editor-in-chief of National Review and executive editor of Radio Free Europe. Today, he's the president of the Danube Institute, a Hungary-based think-tank.A “unified national identity is an absolute essential for a successful democracy,” he says. “If we continue on a multicultural path, it's a path which is going to go in the directions of ever more aggressive and hostile identity politics, and people will feel that their neighbors are their enemies.”O'Sullivan's latest book is titled: “Sleepwalking into Wokeness: How We Got Here.”“The idea of post-nationalism is unachievable if you're a state. You don't remain just a post-national state, what you become is something else,” he says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Less than two weeks into Donald Trump's second term, the president is flooding the zone with executive orders, testing the very institutions that uphold democracy. The question now is how far can Trump bend these democratic institutions before they break? To find out, Christiane spoke to Princeton Professor and autocracy expert Kim Lane Scheppele and Norm Eisen, a former counsel to the House Judiciary Committee and U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic. Then, as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians returned to what is left of their homes in northern Gaza this week, and while hostages are released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, Christiane sat down with Oliver Mcternan, a former Catholic priest turned hostage negotiator. They speak about possible next steps in the ceasefire deal and how to break the endless cycle of violence in the region. Plus, eighty years ago this week, Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz. It marked the beginning of the end of the Holocaust, the darkest chapter in human history. From her archives, Christiane's 2008 reported from Auschwitz for a documentary called "Scream Bloody Murder" which chronicled the stories of those few brave souls who tried to expose genocide.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Donald Trump's unprecedented power grab since regaining the presidency challenges the strength of democratic institutions to act as checks and balances. It's the kind of struggle that Norm Eisen and Kim Lane Scheppele have observed closely outside America. Eisen was US Ambassador to the Czech Republic and served as a counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, and Princeton professor Scheppele worked as a researcher at the Hungarian constitutional court. They join the show to discuss their recent New York Times opinion piece, "Are We Sleepwalking Into Autocracy?"  Also on today's show: Ian Bonhôte & Peter Ettedgui, co-directors, "Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story"; journalist/author Chris Hayes  Learn more about your ad choices.

Original airdate: April 19, 2022 Too many of us are living life on autopilot. Sleepwalking through it with no purpose and direction. But what if it didn't have to be that way? What if we could take control and live out our days more consciously. According to my guest Noor Hibbert, we all have the power to make every single day count and design a life that we truly want.  When we tap into this power, we'll see that life is for the making and the taking. Noor Hibbert is a life and business coach, entrepreneur and motivational speaker. She's the founder of This Is Your Dream, where she helps people transform their mindset, master manifestation, build their business and live their best life. She has built a seven-figure business whilst raising three small children and she credits it to her embarking on a spiritual journey. During our conversation, Noor offers advice on how to retrain our brain to overcome negative beliefs and align our thoughts with the life that we want to create. We also talk about the role of manifestation in creating success and manifestation tools that we can use.

Dream researcher Antonio Zadra, PhD, talks about why some people remember their dreams vividly while others don't remember them at all; whether exploring dreams can offer insight into our waking lives; why nightmares happen and effective treatments for problematic recurring nightmares; understanding lucid dreaming and sleepwalking; and more.
