Podcasts about smiles

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in Los Angeles and Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund in Seattle - break down all the things that went right in UW's 38-10 win over Boise State, and where the team goes from here, especially knowing their head coach is apparently a wanted man.  From the Huskies' point of view, it was a brilliant night from start to finish, as all three phases did their part to keep the Mountain West Champs at bay. The guys talked about that, as well as these other topics... - Demond Williams, his four-touchdown night and his ceiling going into 2026 - Balanced play on offense and a good way for Jonah Coleman to finish off his college career.  - Ryan Walters really stepping up to created a strong Washington defense, especially as the season went on.  - Turnovers were a big reason for UW jumping out to a big halftime lead and kept the lead growing.  - Jedd Fisch said he's coming back to Washington, but will that be true a week or two from now? And does Fisch to Michigan even make sense from a practical point of view at this point in time?

Episode 150 of the Award Travel 101 Podcast focuses heavily on year-end strategy, with Mike Zaccheo and moderator Cameron Laufer walking through news, bonuses, trip updates, and the annual housekeeping travelers should tackle before December 31. They open by highlighting a community post about someone just 500 MQDs short of Delta Diamond and discuss creative last-minute options—same-day turn flights, buying MQDs, or leveraging Delta credit card boosts. News items include Royal Air Maroc's new status match (valid through 2026), a significant Turkish Miles&Smiles partner award devaluation, and Capital One's upcoming transfer-ratio cut to Emirates. Mike and Cameron also share their own card bonus pursuits and recent travel planning, including Mike's NYC trip and Cameron's Singapore Airlines business-class redemption and new Hyatt Globalist status.The main segment dives into year-end planning across credits, spending, and elite status. Mike reviews the long list of expiring statement credits—hotel credits from Amex, Chase, and Citi; airline incidental credits; and category-specific perks like Amex Dell/Saks/Resy and Hilton's monthly credits. Cameron covers annual spending thresholds, including Hilton free night certificate triggers, Hyatt spend-based nights, Amex Platinum's 75K spend for guest lounge access. They also outline status deadlines, reminding listeners that most airline and hotel elite metrics close December 31.Rounding out the episode, the hosts discuss point pooling and transfer limits—noting strict annual caps for Citi ThankYou, Marriott, and Hilton—plus considerations around buying points and credit-card strategy like triple-dipping and 5/24 checks. The “Tip of the Week” advises booking Alaska Airlines partner awards (such as those operated by AA) under “other person” so you can later manage the reservation directly through American Airlines.Episode Links:Royal Air Maroc Status MatchTurkish DevaluationCapital One to Emirates DevaluationYear End Statement CreditsYear End Hotel Status StrategyWhere to Find Us The Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.

Dinn Widdie Da Clown returns to The Dark Carousel not to play nice, not to sugarcoat, but to speak plainly and unapologetically about what it actually means to be a haunter. Coming straight out of Laurel's House of Horror in Laurel, Maryland, this episode is about revenge in the real sense. Not bitterness, but reclaiming respect, pride, and identity in an industry that demands everything from you and rarely thanks you for it.Dinn doesn't hide behind the makeup. He talks about dedication, about showing up when it hurts, about earning your place through sweat, sacrifice, and consistency. He breaks down the passion that fuels him, the respect he carries for the craft, and the love and support that keeps him standing when the season ends and the lights shut off. This is not a performance. This is the mindset of someone who lives haunt life year round.This episode reminds you that haunting is not just a job, a costume, or a scare. It is commitment. It is community. It is carrying the torch for those who take this seriously. Dinn Widdie Da Clown embodies that truth completely. No ego. No shortcuts. Just heart, grit, and loyalty to the industry that raised him.This is what a true haunter sounds like when he stops playing a character and starts telling the truth.

This week on the Roz and Mocha Retro Podcast, it's all about studies! We're throwing it back to 2014 when a study revealed that straight athletes sometimes spoon with teammates (and Roz admits he's definitely not an athlete). Then, in 2018, we dive into a study about smiles—apparently, some smiles are so unsettling they can actually cause distress! Plus, another 2018 study shows just how many people were deleting Facebook at the time.

Bonnie Hobson grew up in the midwest in the midst of endless cornfields, watching her neighbor fly his little bush plane. But soaring wasn't on her radar. Then in 2009 after a break-up and feeling like her life needed a shift she bought a one-way ticket to Hawaii. She saw some paragliders in the air, took a tandem and made a new life, and a new home. From the moment her feet left the ground Bonnie knew her future would be filled with chasing flying. Skydiving, paragliding, hang gliding, speed flying, paramotoring, parakites- if it's flyable, Bonnie is in the air.

Today's show tackles the uncomfortable truth: not every "spiritual helper" is on your side. We break down a series of short but potent dreams—canaries, scrambled eggs, a gorgeous man with an ugly mouth, contact-papered windows, a locker-room monster, plastic "foghorns," an airplane intercom—and show how they warn about masked influence, scrambled gifts, and hidden energetic connections. Then we pivot to two follow-up dreams ("Trevor Loses His Wand" and "I'm Always Precise on Timing") that model exactly how to detect, remove, and re-check those connections.   You'll learn: • How dreams flag scrambled gifts (canary + scrambled eggs) and masked guides (beauty with a "bad mouth"). • Why "contact paper" across windows signals blocked visibility into your field. • How an autistic boy in a dream (and waking life) validates perception of evil ("Perceval" pun) and confirms the warning. • What the locker-room creature reveals about who's really behind the mask. • The case for foghorns and airplane intercoms—when your dreams say "you must warn others." • A practical connection sweep: checking for incoming/outgoing links (especially from chakras) and clearing the outgoing ones you own. • Why not to "clear" others unless it's your lane—and how to build your own defense routines.   Want the truth? Check your dreams. They show what's really happening—and who's doing it.    ⸻   Chapters • 00:00 Smiles can be deceiving: the opener & why dreams tell the truth  • 00:23 Welcome & setup • 01:16 Canary + scrambled eggs: "scrambled gifts" warning • 03:11 The gorgeous man with the ugly mouth: spotting a mask • 06:03 "Perceval" (perceived evil): autistic radar & the real tell • 08:01 Contact paper over windows: hiding the work • 09:02 Locker-room creature: what's behind the glamour • 12:09 Plastic plants → foghorns: when your dream says "warn people" • 12:40 Airplane intercom: you're handed the mic—use it • 13:26 Waking-life sync: autistic boy flags the same source • 15:13 Lightworkers get duped—how it becomes a lesson • 16:43 Building your "defense against the dark arts" toolkit • 18:58 Don't clear others unless it's your gift • 19:43 "Trevor Loses His Wand": connection created → severed • 22:00 How to run a connection sweep (incoming/outgoing; chakras) • 24:10 "I'm Always Precise on Timing": airport connections & "voodoo" clue • 25:38 Takeaways: trust the dream, follow its instructions • 26:16 Outro & quick reminder to audit your connections regularly

First off - if you're in town, join our meetup: Saturday, December 6 at The Warehouse on Charoen Krung Road. Check our Facebook page first before you come just to make sure there have been no last minute changes. In Part 2 of Greg and Ed's interview with John Schachnovsky, the former head of the FBI in Thailand, the men continue discussing John's varied responsibilities in the Land of Smiles, this time focusing on specific cases. John brings up the he played in the Asian Tsunami of 2004 and how the FBI used its technology to help identify myriad victims. John mentions that due to the close working relationship between the U.S. and Thai governments, the FBI would lend a helping hand (often one with advanced technology) anytime it could. Greg then brings up a very current issue - the horrible crimes being committed by cross border scam centers. John mentions that the issue was already hot for the FBI several years ago during his tenure. He emphasizes the unique complexity of such crimes - they involve multiple nations, honchos who themselves often come from other countries such as China, and lower level perpetrators who are themselves often victims of trafficking.  To wrap up, the guys get personal and discuss John's love of Thailand and his project getting his wife to agree to stay in the country permanently. Greg and Ed wouldn't know anything about that! Get John's book here!  

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1204: Scout Motors accelerates toward 2027 as test mules and plant prep hit major milestones. Amazon's push into vehicle retail gains real traction with new brands and first-time buyers. And Target rolls out a strict “10-4” greeting rule as retailers fight for customer connection.Show Notes with links:Scout Motors put the Traveler and Terra prototypes on display at the LA Auto Show while accelerating development back home as they aim for a 2026 launch. The test mules are advancing fast, and the South Carolina plant is nearly ready for early builds.Scout will begin building bodies and early vehicles in its Blythewood, S.C. plant by late 2026 as equipment installation continues.Executives are now driving early mules, noting strong dynamics and rapid software integration tied to the Rivian–VW electrical architecture JV.Final production designs closely mirror the LA Auto Show prototypes, with only manufacturability tweaks such as new lighting inserts.VP of Strategy & Brand Ryan Decker: “I drove my first mule a few weeks ago… Super special moment. It's dynamic for a vehicle that has our capability.”Amazon's experiment with car retail is turning into something real, as early buyers and dealers say the platform is already driving fresh traffic and confidence into the process, with Ford, Hyundai and Hertz now listing vehicles on the platform.Dealers say the visibility is unmatched: “Amazon gets a tremendous amount of eyeballs… We expect it to be a powerful tool,” said Brady Schmidt of Puente Hills Ford.Hyundai reports that nearly all Amazon browsers were new to the brand, and 40% became more likely to consider Hyundai after seeing vehicles on the site.Early buyer Steve Picciotti bought an $8 USB cable, a $90 beard trimmer and a $45,000 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV. “I'm a pretty religious Amazon shopper. I knew if it was coming directly from Amazon it would be legit. I said to my wife: ‘Let's just try it.'”Target is launching a new “10-4” customer-interaction rule—mandating smiles, greetings, and waves—to boost guest satisfaction as the retailer battles declining traffic.Employees must smile, wave, or acknowledge any shopper within 10 feet, and give a verbal, friendly greeting within 4 feet.Others see it as normal retail hospitality: a simple “Need anything?” or “How's it going?” depending on the guest's cues.“We know when our guests are greeted, feel welcomed and get the help they need that translates to guest love and loyalty,” said EVP Adrienne Costanzo.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What genomics can tell us about food safety, the microbiome, and the mind.You've heard the saying, “you are what you eat”... Well, our gut microbes take that very literally. If you've ever gone on vacation, eaten something tasty, and next thing you find yourself bonding with a bathroom floor, you're not alone. Food poisoning might occasionally make for a good story later, but it's a serious issue that lands millions of people in hospitals every year– and tracing the culprit isn't always as simple as pointing at last night's tacos.In this episode, Dr. Kaylee Byers chats with microbiologist Dr. Lawrence Goodridge, who explains how genomics helps track foodborne outbreaks – from the harmful bacteria in our food to the microbes living inside us. Then, Dr. Mary Sco. dives into the science of the gut-brain connection, revealing how your gut and brain are constantly in conversation.So grab a snack, and get ready to stomach the science.Resources1.

What if every crown, implant, or veneer you placed didn't just build smiles—but built wealth? In this episode, Dr. Len Tau sits down with innovators Max Zanan and Adam Marburger of Dental Protection Group to reveal how dentists can turn warranties into a new revenue stream. They're showing why protecting your patients' dental work can also protect—and grow—your financial future. They explain how this simple yet powerful concept—borrowed from the automotive industry—offers dentists a way to increase patient trust, improve case acceptance, and build long-term wealth through profit-sharing warranty programs. Max and Adam share how their model allows dentists to turn warranties into wealth-building vehicles, all while protecting patients and creating a new stream of passive income in a tax-advantaged environment. They also discuss how to get your team on board, how to present warranties to patients, and why this model is changing how entrepreneurial dentists think about their businesses. You'll learn: Warranties Build Trust: Patients already value protection plans in every purchase—offering one in dentistry creates instant credibility and peace of mind. Wealth Through Risk Transfer: Unlike goodwill replacements, Dental Protection Group's model lets dentists transfer risk and receive compensation when failures occur. Profit Sharing Opportunity: Money left over from unclaimed warranties is returned to the practice, compounding over time like a "401(k) on steroids." Team Buy-In Is Key: Success depends on making warranties part of the practice culture—presented as a standard part of every procedure, not an upsell. Entrepreneurial Dentistry: The program empowers dentists to generate long-term, tax-friendly income, fund growth, or even retire earlier.   Key Takeaways 00:44 Introduction and Event Highlights 02:30 Meet the Dental Protection Group 04:35 Understanding Dental Warranties 06:00 The Value of Warranties in Dentistry 06:40 Warranties as a Consumer Expectation 10:40 Differentiating Warranties from Goodwill 12:50 The Financial Benefits of True Warranties 14:40 Wealth Building through Warranties 16:01 Creating Generational Wealth in Dentistry 17:40 Implementing Warranties in Practice 20:55 The Culture of Warranties in Dental Practices 22:52 The Perfect Scenario for Implementation 28:00 Handling Patient Objections 30:44 Team Buy-In and Incentives 31:35 Quick Onboarding Process 32:35 Transferability of Warranties 37:37 Final Thoughts and Opportunities   — Connect with Max and Adam Visit DentalProtectionGroup.com to schedule a consultation with Max and Adam.

Story Transcript:Hu: A nap sugarai csillogtak a Széchenyi Gyógyfürdő medencéjének vizén.En: The sun's rays glistened on the water of the Széchenyi Gyógyfürdő pool.Hu: Gábor mély levegőt vett, ahogy a forró víz körülölelte.En: Gábor took a deep breath as the hot water enveloped him.Hu: Már rég álmodott arról, hogy megszökik az irodai élet monoton hétköznapjaiból.En: He had long dreamed of escaping the monotonous weekdays of office life.Hu: Minden nap ugyanaz, gondolta, míg lassan a víz alatt buborékokat fújt.En: Every day is the same, he thought, while he slowly blew bubbles underwater.Hu: Anna a fényképezőgépével a kezében állt a medence szélén.En: Anna stood at the edge of the pool with her camera in hand.Hu: A különleges ősz Budapesten szinte kérte, hogy minden pillanatot megörökítsen.En: The unique autumn in Budapest seemed to beg her to capture every moment.Hu: A gőz lebegése az emberek mosolya felett megfogta a szívét – egyszerű, őszinte pillanatokat keresett, amik túlmutatnak a kamera lencséjén.En: The steam floating above people's smiles touched her heart – she sought simple, honest moments that transcended the camera's lens.Hu: Gábor ráérősen úsztatta tekintetét a fürdőzők között, amikor megpillantotta Annát.En: Gábor leisurely let his gaze wander among the bathers when he noticed Anna.Hu: Látta, hogy mélyen elmerült a fényképezőjének világában.En: He saw that she was deeply engrossed in the world of her photography.Hu: Valami különös keltette fel a figyelmét – mintha Anna már a része lett volna a történetnek, amit éppen írni próbál.En: Something unusual caught his attention – as if Anna had already become part of the story he was trying to write.Hu: Anna észrevette, hogy Gábor csendesen figyeli.En: Anna noticed that Gábor was quietly observing her.Hu: Érzett egyfajta hívást, hogy elengedje azt a falat, amit saját maga köré épített.En: She felt a sort of calling to let go of the wall she had built around herself.Hu: Lépett egyet előre, közelebb a vízhez, majd találkozott a tekintetük.En: She took a step forward, closer to the water, and then their eyes met.Hu: Egy pillanatnyi csend után Gábor megszólította: „Gyönyörű nap ez a fényképezéshez, nem igaz?En: After a moment of silence, Gábor spoke up: "It's a beautiful day for photography, isn't it?"Hu: ”Anna elmosolyodott és válaszolt: „Igen, a fény különleges ma.En: Anna smiled and replied, "Yes, the light is special today."Hu: ” És így kezdődött a beszélgetésük.En: And so their conversation began.Hu: Mindketten fölfedezték, hogy hasonlóak a vágyaik.En: They both discovered that their desires were similar.Hu: Anna el akarta mesélni a világ történeteit, míg Gábor keresett valakit, akivel őszinte kapcsolatot alakíthat ki.En: Anna wanted to tell the world's stories, while Gábor was looking for someone with whom he could form an honest connection.Hu: Ahogy teltek a percek, a környezet lassan elhalványult körülöttük.En: As the minutes passed, the environment slowly faded around them.Hu: A gőz függönyként vett körül, elrejtve őket a világ kíváncsi pillantásai elől.En: The steam surrounded them like a curtain, hiding them from the world's curious glances.Hu: Történeteket osztottak meg egymással, nevetéssel és csendes gondolkodással.En: They shared stories with each other, with laughter and quiet reflection.Hu: Rájöttek, hogy mindketten második esélyt próbálnak találni az élet különböző területein.En: They realized that both were trying to find a second chance in different areas of life.Hu: Az idő elillant, mire észrevették, mennyire elszaladt a nap.En: Time slipped away before they noticed how quickly the day had passed.Hu: Gábor elővette telefonját és mosolyogva így szólt: „Ha legközelebb is itt leszek, szeretném újra látni.En: Gábor took out his phone and said with a smile, "If I'm here again next time, I would like to see you again."Hu: ” Anna mosolya ragyogott, ahogy ő is beírta a számát Gábor telefonjába.En: Anna's smile shone as she also entered her number into Gábor's phone.Hu: „Akkor találkozzunk hamarosan, hogy ne csak egy múló pillanat maradjon ez a nap.En: "Then let's meet soon, so this day doesn't remain just a fleeting moment."Hu: ”Ahogy kiléptek a gyógyfürdőből, az őszi levelek arany rétege borította a földet, és körülöttük minden élt.En: As they stepped out of the spa, the golden layer of autumn leaves covered the ground, and everything around them seemed alive.Hu: Gábor érezte, hogy élete új irányt vesz, míg Anna úgy érezte, végre valóságos történetet talált.En: Gábor felt that his life was taking a new direction, while Anna felt she had finally found a real story.Hu: Mindketten tudták, hogy az a nap nem csak egy véletlen találkozás volt.En: They both knew that that day was not just a chance encounter.Hu: Úgy indultak el külön utakon, hogy közösen terveztek egy új utat.En: They set off on separate paths, planning a new journey together.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. With the body of hostage Tal Haimi returned to Israel, Horovitz discusses the resilience of and emotional toll on the remaining 15 hostages' families awaiting their loved ones, and whether Hamas is playing games in the slowed process of returning the bodies. As US Vice President JD Vance arrives in Israel, Horovitz talks about his presence in Israel alongside US special envoy Steve Witkoff and White House advisor Jared Kushner, all part of the overt American role in seeing the ceasefire carried out to its conclusion. The Knesset's raucous opening session on Monday reveals deep divisions, says Horovitz, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech aimed to frame the conflict as a victory for Israel, alongside the continued battle over the legitimacy of the Supreme Court.
