What's Your Superpower?In this episode of CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah tap into reflection, purpose, and grown-woman clarity as they unpack the question: what's your real superpower? From unexpected “God wink” moments to conversations about confidence, imposter syndrome, and walking into rooms knowing you belong, this episode is about recognizing your value without needing permission.The ladies open up about how their strengths show up in work, relationships, and community — and why sometimes it takes a stranger, a producer, or a quiet moment to remind you that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. They also talk about commitment in this season of life, learning how to say no without guilt, setting boundaries that actually protect your peace, and why burnout isn't a badge of honor.In Weird Sex, the conversation turns to curiosity, threesomes, and ethical non-monogamy — breaking down how to talk about fantasies honestly, why curiosity doesn't equal dissatisfaction, and how consent and communication make all the difference.As always, things take a turn into real life: fostering chaotic cats, stepping back from dating, learning new skills, choosing rest, and staying grounded when life feels overwhelming. If you've been questioning your path, feeling stuck, or wondering whether you're doing enough, this episode is a reminder that your presence, your voice, and your energy matter more than you think.Sometimes your superpower isn't loud — it's just consistent.

In this episode of Badlands Daily, hosts CannCon and Alpha Warrior break down the latest developments shaping the political and cultural landscape. The discussion centers on escalating pressure across multiple institutions, the consequences of past decisions now coming into focus, and the visible strain on systems designed to maintain control. CannCon and Alpha examine how timing, messaging, and reaction reveal more than official statements alone, highlighting patterns of exposure, deflection, and narrative management. The episode also explores the personal and national costs of standing firm amid mounting resistance, emphasizing accountability, resolve, and the long-term implications of the current moment. As events continue to unfold, the hosts challenge listeners to look past surface-level explanations and consider what these developments signal about where things are heading next.

Logging Off: Inside Australia's Landmark Social Media BanAustralia has become the first country to ban children under sixteen from social media, forcing platforms to block millions of young users overnight.

DATA CENTERS STRAIN THE ELECTRICAL GRID Colleague Henry Sokolski. Henry Sokolski discusses the surging demand for electricity driven by AI data centers and the White House's proposal to auction power access.

A measles outbreak in South Carolina has reignited a debate many thought was settled decades ago—but this time, it's different. At a packed school board meeting, a teacher's family raises alarms, a gubernatorial candidate calls for re-examining vaccine exemptions, and parents are left asking uncomfortable questions. With over 430 reported measles cases, including infections among vaccinated individuals, this episode dives into vaccine efficacy, religious exemptions, herd immunity, and the lingering trust gap left behind by COVID-era government messaging. If vaccines work, why are vaccinated teachers getting sick? If mandates expand, where does it stop? This isn't an anti-vaccine discussion—it's a conversation about transparency, risk, trust, and whether public health policy still matches reality.

In this episode, Nneka Sederstrom, PhD, Chief Health Equity Officer at Hennepin Healthcare, discusses building a diverse healthcare workforce, addressing persistent inequities, and leading through mounting pressures including Minnesota ICE raids and policy shifts. She shares a candid perspective on sustaining equity work and advancing systemic change during one of the most challenging periods in healthcare.

There's a chill in the air on this midwinter day — and a warm, mouth-watering aroma wafting from the kitchen. That's right: the Lutheran Ladies are brewing up savory pots of soup in an all-new Iron Ladle Challenge! Erin leads off with a Finnish salmon soup (lohikeitto) that leaves her co-hosts drooling. Rachel then shares a trio of seasonally appropriate soups: seafood chowder for holiday decadence, “feel-better soup” for post-holiday recovery, and curried butternut soup (AKA sunshine soup) for midwinter malaise. Finally, Sarah shares her foolproof formula for improving the perfect, healthful (Instant Pot) soup every time. Finnish Salmon Soup (Lohikeitto) (From Erin) Serves 4-6 Ingredients: 1# salmon fillet 2T butter 1 large leek, sliced .25# mushrooms, thinly sliced 8 cups chicken stock or bone broth, divided 1 jar clam juice .5# russet potatoes, peeled and diced 1 lg carrot, sliced 1t whole allspice Fish sauce for salt .5# bag frozen kale (or 1 large bunch of fresh kale) (spinach is too delicate) 10g fresh dill, finely chopped, divided 4-8 tablespoons heavy cream Instructions: Heat 4 cups of stock and gently poach the salmon fillets until just cooked. Remove the salmon to a plate and reserve the salmon broth. When fillets are cool cool, remove and discard the skin. Meanwhile, melt butter in a soup pot and saute the leeks and mushrooms for ~10 minutes. Add all of the stock (4 c from salmon and 4 c remaining) to the pan with the leeks and mushrooms, along with the potatoes, carrots, allspice, and half of the fresh dill. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Add the kale and return to a simmer. Stir in a couple of dashes of fish sauce for salt (less than 1 teaspoon). Add the salmon pieces to the soup and gently heat until warmed through, just a few minutes.  Add cream, the remaining dill, and salt and pepper to taste. If Freezing (you will use less stock initially) Heat 4 c stock and gently poach the salmon fillets until just cooked. Remove the salmon to a plate and reserve the salmon broth. When fillets are cool cool, remove and discard the skin. Meanwhile, melt butter in a soup pot and saute the leeks and mushrooms for ~10 minutes. Add the 4 c salmon broth to the pot with the leeks and mushrooms, along with the potatoes, carrots, and allspice. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Add a couple of dashes of fish sauce (less than 1 teaspoon). Strain the vegetables, reserving broth until cool. Divide among 4 freezer containers: Poached salmon Frozen kale and dill. 2oz clam juice/container Vegetables (kale, mushrooms, potatoes, carrots Broth (start with ¾ cup, and distribute the remaining) To serve, heat on the stove until hot, adding a 1 cup container of bone broth to fill out the rest of the broth. While soup is reheating, put a small puddle of cream (1-2 tablespoons) in soup bowl and slowly add hot soup. Seafood Chowder (From Rachel) HT Cari Haan Saute together over medium heat for approx 5 minutes: 1 stick of butter 1/2 onion - diced 1 tsp garlic salt or powder 1/2 tsp thyme Mix in: 1/2 cup flour 1 cup half 'n' half 2 cups milk 4 oz (half block) of cream cheese (softened in microwave) 1 can cream of potato soup 1/2 tsp black pepper 8 oz. can of minced clams (with juice) 8 oz can of tiny shrimp (with juice) 16 oz of flaked crab broken up in desired sized pieces (I use the artificial crab meat) 16 oz of frozen salad-sized (extra small) shrimp (May add milk as needed for desired consistency . . . will need to do this when heating leftovers) Heat until hot throughout. Serve with oyster crackers and shredded Cheddar cheese. Note: May substitute or add additional seafood as desired. The more you put in, the tastier it gets. :) Rachel's Feel Better Soup Note: quantities are approximate. I rarely measure anything for this recipe. Saute in 2 T olive oil: 1 lb. diced chicken 1 c diced celery 1 c diced carrots Cook until chicken is browned and vegetables are beginning to soften. Add 2-4 cups chopped cabbage and/or kale. Cook lightly. Add 4-6 cups chicken broth or an equivalent combo of bullion and water. Add salt, thyme, and turmeric to taste. Add starch of your choice: barley, rice, or noodles. Cook through. Serve with warm tortillas or crusty bread. Curried Butternut Squash Soup (From Rachel) Halve, remove seeds, and oven roast one butternut squash, upside down in a little water. (350 oven for about an hour or until soft throughout) Cool slightly, then use a tablespoon to remove squash from peels Use blender, immersion blender, or foley mill to puree squash In saucepan, combine squash puree with chicken broth (approx. 2 cups), 1 can unsweetened coconut milk, and 1-2 cubes of Golden Curry flavor. Cook over medium heat until all ingredients are blended and soup is hot. Do not boil.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 14, 2026. 0:30 We break down a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling that could reshape election law nationwide. In a 7–2 decision, the Court ruled that candidates do have legal standing to challenge allegedly unlawful election rules—marking a sharp departure from how similar cases were dismissed after the 2020 election. We dive into mail-in ballot deadlines, federal election law, and why this ruling reopens the courthouse doors for challenges to election procedures—not election outcomes. The decision restores constitutional balance, exposes past judicial failures, and could have lasting implications for election integrity, voter confidence, and future federal elections. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US Supreme Court ruled today that a candidate for public office can sue a state over their election laws. 22 people have signed up to run for an open congressional seat in Georgia. Saks Global, the parent company of some of the largest department stores in America, has filed for bankruptcy. 12:30 We continue our deep dive into the Supreme Court’s recent election law ruling, and it's one of the most consequential decisions of the modern era. The Court’s refusal to hear election challenges in 2020—by repeatedly dismissing cases over “lack of standing”—amounted to a dangerous abdication of judicial responsibility. When no one is allowed to challenge the legality of election laws, the rule of law itself is undermined and public trust in elections erodes. 16:00 We got a question for our American Mamas — Are women judged more harshly than men for the condition of their homes? Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson humor, honesty, and real-life examples to explore the double standard many women feel when it comes to cleanliness, motherhood, and domestic expectations. Citing a Good Housekeeping study, the Mamas discuss how identical messes are judged differently depending on whether a man or a woman is assumed to be responsible. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 The left’s intellectual double standard on science and biology is just ridiculous. We break down the tense Senate hearing exchange between Senator Josh Hawley and Dr. Nisha Verma, a board-certified OBGYN. The moment perfectly captures a broader cultural clash: Democrats who claim to “follow the science” but refuse to define basic biological realities when pressed on what it means to be a man or a woman. 27:00 We Dig Deep into a new State Department policy pausing immigrant visa processing from dozens of countries where incoming migrants rely on U.S. welfare programs at unusually high rates. It's an “America First” move and a return to the long-standing principle that immigration should benefit the nation and its citizens, not strain public resources. Despite what the Left says, the policy isn't heartless or racist, it's a return to traditional U.S. immigration policy that prioritizes what is best for America. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We react to reports that Denmark is deploying military reinforcements to Greenland ahead of a high-level White House meeting, but is it political theater or serious deterrence? How could a relatively small military force realistically hope to intimidate the United States? 35:00 A directive sent to CBS News staff during Supreme Court arguments directed them to use the phrase "biological sex at birth" when referring to transgender individuals. That's a Bright Spot compared to the Associated Press' stylebook, which promotes terms like “sex assigned at birth.” The takeaway: accurate language matters, and CBS’s choice signals that factual clarity should outweigh political or cultural pressure in news coverage. 39:30 We discuss news from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has approved a record $9 billion budget for 2026—the largest in the organization’s history. While the foundation is increasing its spending, it is also planning to cut roughly 500 jobs, reducing its workforce by about 20 percent over the next several years.

A Betty White–Worthy Celebration on Scary Spirits Podcast! Well, hello there, dear! This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we're throwing a birthday bash fit for a legend!

Join your hosts Karen and Greg as they revisit this cult‑classic horror‑comedy, chatting about giant crocodiles, small‑town chaos, and the joy of a well‑timed zinger.

So grab a drink, settle in, and remember—age is just a number, but a good scare and a good laugh? Those are timeless. The Crocodile Cocktail • 2 oz vodka• 1 oz Mezcal• 1 oz triple sec• 2 oz lemon juice Instructions: Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well for 10-15 seconds.

Source: makemeacocktail.com A Brief Synopsis: When a mysterious creature violently kills a man in a Maine lake, Jack Wells, the local game warden, looks into the bizarre case, along with Sheriff Hank Keough and visiting paleontologist Kelly Scott. Looking for clues in a tooth that the beast left behind, Kelly and the others eventually locate the monster, a massive and vicious reptile eager to devour anything in its path. Can the crocodile-like creature be stopped? Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include: Karen and Greg reminisce about their Partridge Family record albums.

Send us a textSummary of Cameo 14 & Cameo 9, Chapter 3, Part I, Paragraph 4, Sentence 2 & 3 | Summary of Key Points in Chapters 1 and 2A tiny, unwatched fear can hijack a whole day. We trace ACIM's chain of miscreation from its first faint flicker—what Jesus calls a “will-o'-the-wisp”—through strain, irritation, self-protection, and the cascade of missed guidance that follows. Using vivid stories (a botched cab ride, a cold doorway, even cat-and-meat drama), we show how events are irrelevant; the real lesson is how the mind slides from fear to reaction when it isn't watched.We lay down seven foundations that make everything else click: miracles are shifts in perception, not outcomes; cause and effect live in the mind; fear is self-generated; the body is neutral; guidance replaces control; circular miracles differ from corrective ones; and a unified will ends the sense of coercion. From relationships to sickness, we examine how level confusion turns bodies into causes and life into negotiation. Then we flip it: when the mind pauses and pardons, time shortens, efficiency appears, and action becomes light and clear for everyone involved.Along the way, we unpack a jarring but useful ACIM phrase—“mental retardation” as a defense—not to label people, but to name the tendency to feign confusion to avoid responsibility. The cure is simple willingness: study what matters, watch the first hint of strain, offer pardon, and let guidance carry you. If you're ready to stop wasting time with urgency and start saving time with miracles, this conversation will give you language, tools, and lived examples to practice today.If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who studies ACIM, and leave a review so more seekers can find the show.

The 2026 Rotation is set. Our curmudgeons discuss the signing of Tyler Mahle, the non-signing of Tatsuya Imai, and whether the Giants have enough pitching to succeed in 2026. They also discuss if the Giants are blowing their opportunity to take advantage of the solid core of players they've already assembled.On the cocktail side of things, Ben is drinking Candlekeep Team while Matthew is drinking an Espresso Martini. Recipes below.Candlekeep Tea1 1/2 cups Gin1/2 cup Orange Liqueur1/2 cup sweet vermouth1/2 ounce bitters12 ounces water2 orange wheels4 cloves1 cinnamon stick2 tea bags Earl Gray Tea1/4 cup sugarBring the water to a boil and remove from heat. Add the sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick, oranges wheels and tea bags and allow to steep for at least 6 minutes. A longer steep will result in stronger flavors. Combine the gin, orange liqueur, vermouth, and bitters in a large heat proof pitcher. Strain the tea mixture through a fine strainer into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine. (Note that final result will be luke warm, you can heat gently on the stove in a large vessel or enjoy as is. Do not add ice as it will overly dilute the cocktail.)Espresso Martini2 oz Vodka1 oz Mr. Black's Coffee Liqueur1 oz Espresso (warm or room temp)1/4 oz Spiced Demerara Syrup1 Dash Aztec Chocolate BittersShake all ingredients with ice. Shake it hard. For about 20 seconds. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with three espresso beans - one for each World Series Championship.

It's time to look back… and immediately ask ourselves, “Wait—who said that?!”In Part 1 of this two-part recap episode, Kiki and Medinah revisit some of the wildest, funniest, most unhinged moments from 2025 (with a few older classics sprinkled in), reacting to past clips in real time and reliving everything from comedian guests and dating rants to weird sex stories, hair debates, pop culture takes, and those signature CockTales side quests that somehow always lead back to food.This episode is pure commentary chaos:– Comedians we loved (and clips that still hold up… mostly)– Dating opinions that aged interestingly– Hair, weaves, man-weaves, and why honesty matters– Weird sex facts that somehow turn into social commentary– Pop culture deep dives (yes, including Game of Thrones)– Rants that start one place and end somewhere completely differentThink of this as a highlight reel with commentary, context, and a little “wow… we really said that” energy. And don't worry — this is just Part 1. There's plenty more where this came from.

Guest: Behnam Ben Taleblu. Reports of the Ayatollah planning to flee are likely inaccurate; the regime's ideology drives it to fight rather than seek exile. Despite economic strain, Tehran continues funding proxies like Hezbollah to maintain its transnational terrorist apparatus. The regime also seeks to exploit chaos in Syria to reassert influence.

Papaya Bomb is one of those “don't overthink it” strains, it just shows up, tastes like tropical fruit, and quietly turns the room into a better hang. In this episode we're back in Dragonfly territory, which matters because Dragonfly tends to be medicinal-first, they keep strains around longer, and they actually listen to what patients keep asking for.  Strain: Papaya Bomb (Dragonfly Wellness, Utah).  Lineage: Papaya x THC Bomb.  Now the fun part, the vibe. Brandon clocks it immediately, you can actually taste papaya, not candy papaya, more like the clean “essence” when you cut into a fresh one. It stays subtle and smooth instead of turning into that fermented, pickle-adjacent weirdness some fruit strains can do. They're running it through a Volcano Hybrid (because of course they are), and the whole point is letting the flavor come through without torching the plant into throat sandpaper.  What it feels like, in plain human language: happy, chatty, social. This is a “people strain,” the kind where you could smoke, talk for hours, wander off for food, come back, and keep the conversation rolling without feeling dumb, foggy, or glued to the couch. Brandon calls out that it's oddly “adaptive,” like it starts matching the tone of whatever you're talking about, which turns into a real-time reminder that set and setting is not hippie poetry, it's chemistry plus your nervous system.  Terpenes :beta-Myrcene 0.34%, beta-Caryophyllene 0.30%, Limonene 0.20%, Humulene 0.13%, Linalool 0.07%.  Cannabinoids: Total THC 25.06%, THCA 28.08%, Delta-9 THC 0.43%, CBDA 0.09%, CBG 0.21%.  They also sneak in some real-world “don't be a hero” advice for anyone who gets anxious or heart-racey on THC. Brandon's take is basically: don't just white-knuckle it, get smarter about your inputs. He compares it to how people “water back” hard liquor to keep the palate and the experience under control, and he talks about using CBD and even lemon juice as a way some people try to bring the intensity down when they overdid it. Not medical advice, just what they've seen work for some humans in the wild.  Bottom line, Papaya Bomb is a clean-tasting, social, mood-lifting strain that still stays chill, and it's a solid pick when you want to feel good and present, not spaced out and mute.  Save on Dr Dabber with Code: Cannabisschool10Save on Storz & Bickel with Code : CannabisschoolSave on Santa Cruz Shredder with Code: CSP10Save on Bomb Erigs with Code: CSPScore 100 on your test

RESOLUTIONS! A new year has arrived, which means it's time to make bold promises you'll quietly abandon by mid-January. But fret not: Chris, Amanda and Matt have returned from a long podcasting hiatus with 3 drinks and a plan to ensure 2026 is your best year ever. Unfortunately, things quickly fall apart after Amanda pours a drink laden with half a stick of butter while admitting she has no ability to track her schedule. Matt then attempts to raise the conversational IQ by questioning whether it's harder to start a good habit or to break a bad one, but the group instead fixates on Amanda's Cheez-It addiction. If you're looking to start 2026 in style, look no further than this latest episode of the 3 Questions, 3 Drinks podcast.  DRINKS IN THIS EPISODE:HOT BUTTERED RUM >> 1 oz dark rum, 1 tbsp butter, 1–2 tsp brown sugar, Hot water, Nutmeg (for garnish). Add butter and brown sugar to a mug. Pour in rum and top with hot water (less than you think). Stir until melted. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg. Best enjoyed on a snowy day, preferably while questioning your life choices. WATERSHED BOURBON >> Watershed Distillery Uncut, Unfiltered Straight Bourbon. Pour two fingers worth of bourbon over ice (or enjoy neat if you're feeling brave). Sip slowly while running your fingers through your newfound chest hair. MARTINEZ COCKTAIL >> 1½ oz Dingle Gin, 1 ½ oz sweet vermouth, 1 tsp maraschino liqueur (Luxardo preferred), 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Stir all ingredients with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with an orange peel and/or a Cheez-It.If you've been enjoying the 3Q3D podcast, please subscribe and consider giving us a rating, a review, or sharing an episode with a friend.  Follow our social sites here:Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/3drinkspodcast/?hl=enFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/3Drinkspodcast

Migration: Assimilation Crisis and the Collapse of Western Civilization — Gaius & Germanicus — Gaius and Germanicus analyze the destabilizing strain generated by mass migration flows from the economically depressed Global South to the wealthy industrialized North, documenting escalating violence in Australia, social unrest throughout Europe, and institutional strain within the United States. Gaius highlights the new American "Emperor Trump's" political mandate to enforce border security and immigration restrictions, contrasting this with the "woke elite's" previous advocacy for polyglot multicultural societies without national identity boundaries or assimilationist expectations. Germanicus argues that successful historical migration requires genuine desire for cultural assimilation into host societies, citing the Roman-era Franks and Visigoths who adopted Roman culture, language, and institutional frameworks, thereby integrating into Roman civilization. Germanicus contrasts these assimilationist populations with groups like the Vandals and contemporary observant Sunni Muslim communities, who systematically resist cultural integration and instead establish cohesive, ethnically and religiously homogeneous societies paralleling their original homelands. Germanicus warns that Europe is reaching a "boiling point" due to systemic resistance to assimilation, surging crime rates, and political backlash against uncontrolled immigration, comparing this civilizational instability to the circumstances precipitating the destruction of the Western Roman Empire by non-assimilating tribal invasions that progressively fragmented Roman institutional coherence and territorial control. 1775 BOUDICA RALLIES

But a shocking new investigation reveals most brands can't prove it. Dr. Christian Gonzalez reached out to 56 of the biggest probiotic companies—including Seed, VSL#3, Garden of Life, Ritual, and Thorne—with one simple request: show proof your strains survive stomach acid, maintain potency through expiration, and are tested for heavy metals, yeast, and mold contamination through Certificates of Analysis (COAs). The results? Fifty-three brands disappeared, dodged questions, or flat-out refused to respond. Only THREE companies could stand behind their claims with real data. This isn't about being picky—it's about protecting your gut microbiome, immune system, and mental health from paying premium prices for mystery powders. When you consume contaminated or ineffective probiotics daily, you're wasting money on dead bacteria that never colonize your gut—or worse, introducing toxins that worsen bloating, immune stress, and digestive dysfunction. The hidden problems lurking in popular probiotic supplements: • Dead on arrival strains that can't survive stomach acid or bile—rendering them completely useless before reaching your intestines • CFU deception: potency guaranteed only at manufacturing, not expiration—meaning you're getting a fraction of what's promised • Heavy metal contamination including lead, arsenic, and cadmium that accumulate in your system and disrupt gut healing • Mold, yeast, and bacterial contamination from compromised sourcing and manufacturing that can trigger inflammation and immune reactions • Unverified strain claims with zero genetic testing to prove what's actually in the capsule matches the label • Proprietary blends designed to hide inferior ingredients and avoid accountability for specific strain efficacy In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez exposes the 2025 Probiotic Purity Audit and reveals: • The full list of 56 brands tested—and which major names refused to respond or failed safety and efficacy standards • The ONLY 3 probiotic brands that passed with radical transparency, clean COAs, survivability data, and verified potency at expiration • The $70+ billion marketing manipulation behind "clinically studied" and "gut health support" claims that mean nothing without third-party verification • Strain specificity: why this is the only metric that matters for true gut colonization and therapeutic benefit • How contaminated probiotics actively harm your microbiome, worsen digestive symptoms, and waste your money on expensive filler • The gut-brain axis disruption, immune dysfunction, and inflammatory cascade triggered by low-quality probiotic supplementation This episode goes beyond gut health—it's about understanding that your microbiome controls everything from mood and immunity to hormone balance and disease prevention. It's about taking back control of what colonizes your body every single day, and demanding transparency from an industry built on marketing hype, not real science. The probiotic industry doesn't want you asking these questions. But your gut health depends on it.
