RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 392 by marveling at the daredevils who parachuted off the Space Needle before celebrating the return of Seahawks training camp as a welcome distraction from another nerve-racking week of Mariners baseball. They react to Dom Canzone's season-saving heroics, Jerry Dipoto's puzzling coaching shakeup, and Seattle's looming trade deadline decisions before previewing the Seahawks' title defense and the inevitable Torrey Horton training camp hype. After Dominic Canzone's dramatic home run rescues the Mariners from a potentially devastating sweep, Mitch, Jason Churchill, and Brady Farkas debate whether the victory can truly change the trajectory of Seattle's season or merely delay the inevitable. Churchill also weighs Seattle's pitching surplus, discusses the futures of George Kirby and Logan Gilbert, evaluates top prospects Michael Arroyo and Lazaro Montes, and closes with an honest assessment of Cal Raleigh's prolonged slump. With Seahawks training camp underway, Mitch and Jacson Bevens examine how Seattle's Super Bowl-winning roster has changed and whether the team is equipped for another title run. They discuss the thinner roster, the uncertainty at running back, Sam Darnold's long-term future, and what Klint Kubiak's offense might look like with new weapons. Mitch samples three of the show's patron-exclusive regulars as Danny O'Neil weighs Tom Dundon's arena strategy and the Seahawks' upcoming Hard Knocks season. Jason Puckett breaks down the Mariners' trade deadline outlook, including Mason Miller, Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, and Seattle's payroll future, before Slickhawk closes with stories about Trader Joe's, a 26-pound brisket, Dino's Pub, and Ryan Grubb's coaching future.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 68-points this morning from Friday's close, at 43,585 on turnover of 8.6-billion N-T.

The statement comes amid claims that clinics in Taipei were reportedly out of COVID-19 vaccine doses. Concern over a lack of vaccine doses comes after the C-D-C last week announced the extension of its publicly funded COVID-19 vaccination program through September 28 due to a rise in the number of cases. According to the C-D-C, Taiwan entered a new COVID-19 epidemic phase two weeks ago, as outpatient and emergency room visits rose by 66.5-per cent in the week of July 12 to 18 from the previous week. The publicly funded vaccination had been scheduled to end July 31. Miaoli Mazu** temple becomes Taiwan's 1st to retire carbon credits** The Baishatun Gongtian Temple in Miaoli County has become the first in Taiwan to offer visitors the option of offsetting their carbon emissions through the retirement of Gold Standard carbon credits.

Under the new scheme, government agencies, businesses, schools, organizations and religious groups visiting the temple for worship, company outings, or cultural tours can apply to retire carbon credits based on the number of participants. The association is also partnering with the Miaoli County government's Culture and Tourism Bureau to develop travel itineraries centered on Gongtian Temple that have also obtained carbon credit retirement certification.

Pro wrestler Dani Mo returns to the Wrestling Mayhem Show studio with Sorg and Mad Mike for a conversation about stepping away from wrestling, returning with a renewed perspective and embracing every strange opportunity the business provides. Dani takes the crew aboard her cross-country family adventure by train, traveling from Pittsburgh through Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and beyond. She talks about first-class Amtrak accommodations, observation cars, full meals, sightseeing, hiking through Yosemite, camping on the way to Las Vegas and seeing No Doubt at the Sphere. More importantly, Dani explains why disconnecting from wrestling—even briefly—helped her decompress and appreciate the experiences waiting outside the ring. Back in wrestling, Dani discusses her acclaimed match with a visiting STARDOM competitor at Enjoy Wrestling, her desire to wrestle in Japan and the opportunities she has received to work with international talent. She also breaks down her unpredictable run in Juggalo Championship Wrestling, where she is expanding her character work, delivering longer promos, destroying cars, confronting Barnabas and navigating one of wrestling's wildest fictional family dramas as a two-time JCW Women's Champion. Mad Mike reports from Madison Square Garden, including the energy surrounding CM Punk, the New York Knicks-themed celebration and a WWE show that sometimes felt like a televised house show built specifically for the local audience. The crew also discusses SummerSlam possibilities, Sami Zayn's direction, Nick Aldis returning to the ring and the unseen wrestlers whose scheduled matches disappear whenever an authority figure creates a new main event. The episode also features the first match announcement for Sorgstock, memories from Beastman's Big Ass Birthday Bash, thoughts on WWE Unreal, questions about the value of Club WWE, AEW and STARDOM crossover, the G1 Climax and a spirited debate about roller coasters, wrestling-ring pools and the value of letting wrestling be fun. News Stories and Topics Discussed Mad Mike's Madison Square Garden experience: Mad Mike compares the reactions for CM Punk and the New York Knicks celebration while describing the unusual atmosphere of a WWE television show created heavily around its host city. CM Punk's latest major moment: The crew discusses Punk's return, championship victory and the difference between hearing a massive wrestling reaction on television and experiencing it inside the arena. New York Knicks crossover: The hosts examine the Knicks references, celebrity involvement and why parts of the show were especially rewarding for local basketball fans. WWE women's tag-team speculation: The group considers whether the current champions are temporary and whether WWE could be building toward a SummerSlam program involving the Bella Twins. What happens next for Sami Zayn: Mad Mike questions Sami's current direction and whether he could be added to another major match rather than being left without a clear SummerSlam story. Nick Aldis returning to competition: The hosts discuss Aldis moving from an authority role back into the ring, his extensive pre-WWE career and the importance of presenting him as a legitimate wrestler rather than merely an on-screen general manager. “Card Subject to Change”: A joke about wrestlers being removed from suddenly rearranged television cards evolves into a pitch for a comedy series focused on the performers who thought they had a match before the main event was rewritten. Mad Mike conquers the Royal Rumble arcade game: The crew revisits the game's classic roster and attempts to guess which wrestler Mad Mike used to win. The answer leads to an enthusiastic appreciation of D'Lo Brown. Dani Mo's cross-country train adventure: Dani describes traveling with her family in first-class Amtrak accommodations, sleeping in compact rooms, visiting the observation car and experiencing freshly prepared meals during the journey. Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco: The trip includes the Bean, Seattle's Space Needle and gum wall, the redwoods, Alcatraz, Lombard Street, the Golden Gate Bridge and several of Dani's signature travel handstands. Disconnecting from wrestling: Dani explains how the trip allowed her to stop checking messages, ignore most wrestling responsibilities and return feeling more relaxed—even when several planned bookings were unexpectedly canceled. Yosemite and dispersed camping: After leaving her family in San Francisco, Dani continues the adventure with a friend, tackles the difficult Mist Trail, earns a fire permit and camps while traveling toward Las Vegas. No Doubt at the Sphere: Dani talks about seeing Gwen Stefani up close, buying an impressive amount of merchandise and finally reaching the concert that served as the trip's destination. Why travel matters: The group reflects on how seeing different regions, cultures and lifestyles can change a person's perspective, even without leaving the United States. Enjoy Wrestling and international competition: Dani looks back on her standout match with a visiting STARDOM wrestler and explains why she believes her recent performances against Japanese talent show that she is ready for an opportunity in Japan. Dani Mo's JCW evolution: Dani discusses developing a more aggressive and three-dimensional character, improving her extended promo work and becoming comfortable performing inside JCW's deliberately chaotic environment. The Barnabas family saga: Dani explains the “daddy issues” driving her JCW storyline, including Barnabas, an adopted rival, implied drug jokes, a damaged car and increasingly personal confrontations. Two-time JCW Women's Champion: Dani discusses working as champion while balancing recognizable babyface qualities with increasingly diabolical actions. Learning through promos: Because much of Dani's recent JCW work has involved storytelling rather than traditional matches, she is gaining experience in an area she considers challenging but necessary for reaching a larger stage. Sorgstock's first match announcement: Sorg officially announces Beastman vs. Gory in “The Big Bite-Off” for the No Limits Championship, reviving a match that could not happen during the previous special event. The Sorgstock atmosphere: The crew previews an unconventional party-style wrestling event featuring strange concepts, visual gags, music and an intentionally loose approach to wrestling canon. Beastman's Big Ass Birthday Bash: Dani and Sorg revisit the themed decorations, fan activities, family involvement, weapons, cake and overall madness surrounding Beastman's 40th birthday celebration. Wrestling shows built around individuals: Beastman's birthday event, Jack Pollock's benefit and other personality-driven cards inspire a discussion about shows that celebrate a specific wrestler's identity and creative vision. Alternate versions of wrestling cards: Dani reveals that several wrestlers arrived at Beastman's show expecting completely different stipulations, including a possible pillow fight and a thumbtack-and-door match. Inflatable wrestling-ring products: An online advertisement for a wrestling-themed pool sends the hosts into a search for inflatable rings and possible future Sorgstock accessories. Kennywood and roller-coaster bravery: Dani responds to allegations that she bullied Derek Dillinger into riding Phantom's Revenge, leading to comparisons of Kennywood attractions and other intense coasters around the country. AEW and STARDOM crossover: The hosts discuss Triangle of Madness, STARDOM championships and the potential for more interaction between AEW's women's division and Japanese wrestling. G1 Climax viewing: Sorg shares his early enthusiasm for the tournament and Konosuke Takeshita while the crew repeatedly finds new ways to make the tournament's name sound inappropriate. WWE Unreal: Mad Mike discusses the behind-the-scenes series, including CM Punk quietly telling John Cena that he would miss him and Cena explaining the creative logic behind his deliberately frustrating WrestleMania performance. John Cena and AJ Styles: The crew examines their tribute-filled match, the decision to use other wrestlers' signature moves and backstage footage of Seth Rollins jokingly confronting them after they produced a difficult act to follow. A crowded wrestling calendar: The group discusses competing events in Chicago, WWE's plans surrounding WrestleMania week, possible New York events and how promotions may fill the space created by WrestleMania taking place outside the United States. Club WWE: Sorg attempts to understand the subscription's value, including exclusive merchandise, ticket access, workout content, personality-driven programs and John Cena's “Unseen 17” concept. Wrestling and major-league merchandise: The hosts consider how WWE's relationship with Fanatics may make city-specific sports collaborations easier than similar partnerships for other wrestling companies. “What We Learned” Segment Breakdown Mad Mike Mad Mike's lesson comes from watching WWE Unreal. During CM Punk's “Doctor of Punkanomics” segment with John Cena, Punk quietly told Cena, “I'm gonna miss you.” It was an emotional detail that was easy to miss during the original broadcast. That revelation leads to a broader discussion about Cena's creative intentions during his final run. Mad Mike notes that Cena's explanation of the WrestleMania match closely matched the show's earlier interpretation: the slow, frustrating and intentionally boring presentation was designed to make the audience reject that version of Cena. Dani Mo Dani says the week reestablished how fun and incredible wrestling can be. Wrestling creates opportunities to travel, meet unusual people and share memorable experiences with friends, family and people who may have only met that day. Her central lesson is that performers can become so serious about wrestling that they fail to appreciate the moment. Beastman's birthday show may not have been the largest event she has worked, but dancing with her family, watching her niece become involved and enjoying the atmosphere made it one of the most fun. Sorg Sorg initially learns that he still does not fully understand what Club WWE is offering subscribers. His more meaningful lesson comes from Beastman's birthday show and other wrestler-centered events. Sorg appreciates cards that allow one person's personality, community and creative definition of wrestling to shape the entire presentation. The conclusion: wrestling needs more “non-canon” shows—events where promotions and performers can temporarily escape normal story structures, celebrate people and try concepts that would not fit on a traditional card. Chat Room and Additional Takeaways The chat highlights the increasingly crowded wrestling calendar and the unusual “battle lines” created when several promotions schedule destination events in the same city or on the same weekend. The closing conversation reinforces that the wrestling world is large enough to contain serious competition, personal celebrations, bizarre comedy, international crossover and experiences that exist simply because they are fun.
Pro wrestler Dani Mo returns to the Wrestling Mayhem Show studio with Sorg and Mad Mike for a conversation about stepping away from wrestling, returning with a renewed perspective and embracing every strange opportunity the business provides. Dani takes the crew aboard her cross-country family adventure by train, traveling from Pittsburgh through Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and beyond. She talks about first-class Amtrak accommodations, observation cars, full meals, sightseeing, hiking through Yosemite, camping on the way to Las Vegas and seeing No Doubt at the Sphere. More importantly, Dani explains why disconnecting from wrestling—even briefly—helped her decompress and appreciate the experiences waiting outside the ring. Back in wrestling, Dani discusses her acclaimed match with a visiting STARDOM competitor at Enjoy Wrestling, her desire to wrestle in Japan and the opportunities she has received to work with international talent. She also breaks down her unpredictable run in Juggalo Championship Wrestling, where she is expanding her character work, delivering longer promos, destroying cars, confronting Barnabas and navigating one of wrestling's wildest fictional family dramas as a two-time JCW Women's Champion.

The following synopsis for IPS DEPROGRAM (May 10 2026) details the exploration of the "Metascript," a framework where mainstream media events and entertainment are pre-scheduled and synchronized to create a scripted reality. The broadcast examines how "hyperstitions"—fake events grafted into reality—are used to program the public consciousness through repetitive symbolism, such as the number 33 and zoonotic tropes. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the "concurrent programming" glitch, where major fictional releases, like The Boys, mirror current news events with impossible precision, suggesting a unified coordination between government-managed narratives and the entertainment industry. The episode concludes with a "prophetic" warning regarding June 11th (6/11) and its potential association with a staged disaster in Seattle.This topic breaks down the patterns between recent news events involving the Hantavirus and "Mighty Mouse" symbolism, highlighting the recurring use of the number 33 in pandemic-related headlines."The Ship Of People With The Hantavirus Was On A 33 Day Odyssey That's The Headline.""If you recall, the entire outbreak of COVID-19 was just saturated with 33s.""Fake events get grafted into our reality. We call these hyperstitions.""Hantavirus timeline on the MV Hondias shows 33 days passed before the world knew.""Aliens get phased out and now they're bringing in the rats."The host analyzes the "conspicuous" overlaps between Donald Trump and the character Homelander from The Boys, arguing that Trump is a media construct decades in the making."Homelander with his Bible and his golden statue exactly parallels Trump with his Bible and golden statue.""Donald Trump is a construct many decades in the making... his role was already constructed.""The director of The Boys actually posted this meme. Seriously, what the F?""Normies can't compute this stuff so they resort to stuff like it's a simulation.""The limiting factor on what people will believe is what's on the movie screen."The discussion defines "concurrent programming" as a phenomenon where media is released simultaneously with news events to create an "echo chamber" or a "fictional universe" treated as objective reality."Concurrent programming represents a major glitch in the matrix.""If you want to know what's on the news tomorrow... go to Netflix.""The mainstream mediated worldview... is in fact... a fictional universe.""A subplot is the other version of the story that doesn't really take away from the story.""We are the informed disbelievers... fomenting a culture of disbelief."A deep dive into the "predictive programming" surrounding Seattle, the Space Needle, and the date June 11th, which the host suggests is a high-probability date for a "staged" nuclear or tsunami event."611 is the prophesied date that Seattle is going to get Oppenheimer.""I am seriously contemplating Flying over to Seattle... and observing the spectacle on 611.""Every single time we see something leading to the build up... there's a 311 or an 11-3 associated with it.""42 is massively coded into this stuff... like the two blackouts in Manhattan 42 years apart.""The destruction of Seattle was also foresharowed quite recently in the Final Destination: Bloodline."The episode explores Chaos Magic as a tool for understanding perception, while positing that modern science-fiction themes are merely "rebranded" religious mythologies used for social control."Climate change is just rebranded flood mythology... the idea that their god's going to drown them.""They're supplanting it. The new religion where space is heaven.""Apophenia, pattern recognition, is built into us... to allow us to facilitate intra self communication.""I'm finding a lot of answers in the chaos magic paradigm.""Religious people never really need a lot of strong evidence. They just need relics."Topic 1: Zoonotic Narratives and the "33" S
Ever wondered what happens when gelato meets a Ferris wheel? Sam and Jeff are back after their Seattle adventure, and honestly, this trip had everything. They nearly missed their 5:30 flight thanks to an airport power outage and an overly chatty 3 a.m. Uber driver who couldn't stop talking about San Francisco rent prices. (Trust me, not the conversation you want at that hour.)In Seattle, they hit Pike Place Market for Beecher's mac and cheese and Greek gelato with exotic flavors, toured Lumen Field home of the Seattle Seahawks, and explored the Pop Culture Museum's impressive collections. The Chihuly Gardens featured stunning glass sculptures, and the Space Needle shot them up in just thirty-eight seconds. Their ferry ride to Bainbridge Island proved delightful and relaxing with beautiful views.But let's talk about that Ferris wheel incident—one speaker's indulgent food choices created an increasingly uncomfortable situation over multiple rotations that required an urgent exit. They also caught a Disney Villains brunch at a queer bar, enjoyed espresso martinis throughout the day, and dealt with a birthday party host who refused to share cake.The chaos, the food, the mishaps—it's all here. Listen to find out which moment almost derailed the entire trip.
Another one of Seattle’s iconic movie theaters has been sold. This time, the Boeing IMAX theater. The theater’s six story tall and 80 foot wide screen has endeared itself to local movie goers since it opened nearly 30 years ago. Pacific Science Center sent out an email last week confirming they are selling the Boeing Imax, and a parcel of land equaling nearly a quarter of its footprint at Seattle Center. The buyer is a familiar neighbor: The Space Needle. And Space Needle leaders said, through a statement, they intend to keep operating the theater.

This transcript synopsis from late 2025 features a media analyst returning from a hiatus to examine current events through the lens of predictive programming and world stage simulations. The speaker primarily explores the murder of Rob Reiner by his son, drawing parallels between this tragedy and the Frankenstein narrative of a creator destroyed by his creation. Additional analysis focuses on the television series Fallout and the movie Top Gun: Maverick, suggesting these entertainment products foreshadow real-world nuclear scenarios and military operations. The text further alleges that high-profile events, such as the assassination of Charlie Kirk and various public stabbings, are manufactured psyops utilizing crisis actors and repetitive symbolism. Ultimately, the source argues that global media functions as a coordinated meta-script designed to synchronize humanity under a singular, artificial worldview. Central to this perspective is the rejection of the "mainstream and alternative duopoly," urging listeners to adopt an "off-world stage perspective" that views news and entertainment as a singular, government-controlled monolith used to manage human consciousness through "Mind War"Key Topics• The Reiner Murder Psyop: The host analyzes the reported killing of Rob Reiner by his son Nick as a world-stage retelling of Frankenstein, noting the father-son antagonism and Nick Reiner's “uncanny resemblance” to the monster.• Planet Netflix and Predictive Programming: The source describes Netflix as a “psyop factory,” citing a role played by Jake Reiner in the series Monster that “coincidentally” mirrored his parents' deaths shortly after.• The “Theater of Psywar”: Major events like the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting and the Bondi Beach incident are dismissed as simulations utilizing recycled crisis actors and “hoax indicators” like massive GoFundMe payouts.• Pop Culture Archetypes: ◦ Tom Cruise is identified as a recurring “sacrificial sun god” or “hanged man” archetype, with his films containing occult subtext related to ascension and the number 33. ◦ The Fallout series is linked to Oppenheimer through etymology (Robert House vs. Robert Oppenheimer) and seen as conditioning for a Space Needle/nuke scenario.• Mind War and TPUSA: The host discusses the “Mind War” framework co-authored by Michael Aquino and Paul E. Vallely, linking Vallely to the leadership of Turning Point USA and suggesting the organization functions as a political psyop.• The “Off-World Stage” Philosophy: A call to decompartmentalize the mind to see that news, entertainment, and government are “one and the same,” constituting a “one world religion” of manufactured history.• Critique of Organized Religion: The host views religion as a tool of government control, arguing that faith is “putting ignorance above direct knowledge” and that “Gnosticism makes you incompatible for the religious paradigms”.Key Quotes• “Every single topic is just put through the fake news wood chipper that the [Discord] server is.”• “We're looking at this new era here... where there's this engagement that's happening between the psyop entertainment complex and its critics.”• “If you want to know what's gonna happen in the world tomorrow, watch Netflix today.”• “These events that they manufacture are not mere hoaxes or pr stunts but these are permanent fixtures of the world stage... simulated events... they're also historic events.”• “I firmly maintain here that the God construct of the Bible is... a construct created by government to control minds.”• “The off-world stage perspective is cognizant of the continuity of fakery that led up to today and how news becomes history.”• “Mind war proposes to supersede killing and destruction with a more civilized focus on the mind.”
