“Spiritual concerns are self-enforcing.” Crrow777“Hand on the Bible, So Help You God.” Many of life's modern systems have a hidden down-side that is now coming into focus as consciousness and spiritual concerns lift with the energies of the new era. Our rights, and the need to protect them, are a rapidly growing concern. As an example: The digital world is a trap, and in my view was planned, designed, and delivered to control all aspects of modern life. This includes tracking each and every human life in real-time. And, what is more, is the invisible spiritual battle that precedes the enactment of all modern systems. A hidden spiritual framework is connected to, and underpins, commercial systems of law. It is this spiritual relationship with legal systems that remains unknown to the vast majority of those subjected to the legal process. It must be reasserted here that there is a reason a Bible is placed in every courtroom. Our guest uncovers and explains the hidden spiritual relationships involved in our legal system. He implements strategies that force spiritual reconciliation from those in power; or, those who wield the law as a one-sided instrument of control that undermines rights. As they say, “The proof is in the pudding”, and there is now a growing list of highly-placed individuals that have stepped down when faced with documents that press spiritual realities in their direction. It has been said that “Turnabout is fair play”. This is another way of saying: It is allowable to retaliate against an enemy’s dirty tricks by using the same ones against them. (Read more…)

After roughly half-a-dozen episodes of unfortunate absence, we're pleased to welcome Dustin back to the fold, and just in the nick of time at that. A trio of interesting stories have bubbled to the surface over the past week worth examining, and they require further inquiry from the whole cast. For starters, Sony's financials show a stagnant (albeit perfectly healthy) PlayStation brand, as PS5 marches ever-slower towards 100 million units sold. And then there's Electronic Arts, the pioneering American publisher that sold-out to a wealthy foreign interest, with untold ramifications on the other side of the biggest-ever leveraged buyout in human history. Finally, we come to Netflix and Rockstar, who have teamed-up for what can only be described as a unique approach towards showcasing Grand Theft Auto VI, one (perhaps not surprisingly) some people aren't thrilled about. Among other news (and other nonsense), we also get into your listener submissions, as we do each week. How will MLB: The Show 27 be affected next year by what appears to be an inevitable work stoppage in professional baseball? Is there any workable idea for a framework surrounding the second-hand buying, selling, and trading of digital games? Could Sony blunt PlayStation 6's inevitably-high cost by taking a page from Xbox's book and offering hardware on long-term payment plans? Has Colin been saying "beaucoup bucks" wrong, or does one listener simply not know his French? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

This week's episode is brought to you by the colors: yellow, orange, and brown. The 8th volume of our deep dive into the trippy and groovy beginnings of the heavy stuff! Cut your lava lamp on, gaze at that blacklight poster through the haze of purple smoke, and join your favorite rock n' roll grave robbers as they dig deep into the core of 70s Acid Rock n' Proto Metal crypt to unearth some obscure bands that helped influence and mold what would become known as Heavy Metal.  What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This particular episode is planted firmly in the LOST category, as all of these recordings occurred between 1970 – 1973. As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new in a genre and decade that you may have thought you already knew everything there was to know. Songs this week include: Zoot - “Hey Pinky” from Zoot Out (1971) Head Over Heels - “Road Runner” from Head Over Heels (1971) Fresh Blueberry Pancake - “Hassels” from Heavy (1970) Wicked Lady - “I'm A Freak” from Psychotic Overkill (1972) Irish Coffee - “Can't Take It” from Irish Coffee (1971) Light Of Darkness - “Movin' Along” from Light Of Darkness (1971) Ancient Grease - “Mother Grease The Cat” from Women And Children First (1970) Jane - “Here We Are” from Here We Are (1973) Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/ https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/in-obscuria https://www.facebook.com/InObscuria https://twitter.com/inobscuria https://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/ Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria Store Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/ If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/ If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

This week, a continuation of our series called “In The Shadow Of…”, where we compare bands to a well-established mainstream act. This is not about copycats, but about artists that have similar vibes, share a sonic soundscape, or whose songwriting and playing styles are sympatico. This is another band near and dear to both of you humble hosts. A band that sits atop the pedestal of all things “heavy”. A band that defined metal in the 80s and 90s while becoming somewhat polarizing in more recent years; the iconic METALLICA! Join us as we discover other bands who were influenced and inspired by this hella great band. What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This is not a statement about bands trying to copy one another, but more that they have a shared sound and vision. It's been said that there is no originality left in rock n' roll and also been stated that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new! Songs this week include: Trivium – “Unrepentant” from The Crusade (2006) Bloodstain – “Black Swan” from I Am Death - EP(2024) Thrasherwolf – “Shameless Loser” from Inside The Sickened Mind (2024) Evile – “Head Of The Demon” from Skull (2013) Machine Head – “Slanderous” from The Blackening (2007) Tantara – “Human Mutation” from Based On Evil (2012) ThrashWall – “War Outside The Wall” from ThrashWall(2020) Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/ https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/in-obscuria https://www.facebook.com/InObscuria https://twitter.com/inobscuria https://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/ Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria Store Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/ If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/ If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

The men haggling in the temple courtyard knew which oaths could be collected on. Swear by the gold and you're bound; swear by the temple and you can walk away. Jesus calls that blindness: holiness runs down from God to the thing and never back up, and the temple is holy only for Him who dwells in it. We do the same arithmetic with our years and our giving, wanting a righteousness we can audit. But the altar was holy before you got here, and the gift on it is Christ's own body and blood.

Some of us predicted this long ago. Such a move signals a new religion. Why else would they ask for a loyalty oath to a pastoral, nonbinding Council?Sponsored by Charity Mobilehttps://www.charitymobile.com/rtt.phpSources:https://substack.com/@returntotradition1Contact Me:Email: return2catholictradition@gmail.comSupport My Work:Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/AnthonyStineSubscribeStarhttps://www.subscribestar.net/return-to-traditionBuy Me A Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/AnthonyStinePhysical Mail:Anthony StinePO Box 3048Shawnee, OK74802Follow me on the following social media:https://www.facebook.com/ReturnToCatholicTradition/https://twitter.com/pontificatormax+JMJ+#popeleoXIV #catholicism #catholicchurch #catholicprophecy#infiltration

This week brings another installment of “Degrees Of Separation…,” where we dig into the side projects, supergroups, and solo releases connected to a particular artist. This time, we pay tribute to a rock n' roll workhorse and journeyman from the Great White North: a jack-of-all-trades musician who seems to be single-handedly keeping many of the legacy artists we love in fighting shape. He's not only a multi-instrumentalist and consummate rock star, but he also has some of the best pipes in the business. Of course, we're talking about TODD “DAMMIT” KERNS!!! New to InObscuria? It's all about excavating obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. While you may know Todd primarily as Slash's bass player and backing vocalist, you may not realize just how deep his catalog of side projects runs—or how many artists he has supported throughout his career. As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new!   Songs this week include: Minefield - “All American Man” from Minefield (2021) Smash L.A. - “Breakin' All The Rules” from Law ‘N' Authority (1989) Blackbird Angels - “Mine (All Mine)” from Solsorte (2023) The Age Of Electric - “Remote Control” from Make A Pest A Pet (1997) Sin City Sinners - “Goin' To Vegas” from Exile On Fremont Street (2010) Bob Kulick - “Rich Man” from Skeletons In The Closet (2017) Todd Kerns - “You Know What You Did” from TKO (2016) Static In Stereo - “Overboard” from Static In Stereo (2002) Toque - “The Spirit Of Radio” from Never Enough (2019) Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/ https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/in-obscuria https://www.facebook.com/InObscuria https://twitter.com/inobscuria https://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/ Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria Store If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/ If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/ Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

Over the last decade of living in Iceland, I've taken numerous solo trips around the country, including several solo camper van adventures. My very first solo camper van trip was a two-week Ring Road journey in May 2022, and it taught me more than I ever expected. I was excited, nervous, anxious, and completely ready to see what Iceland would feel like on my own. Since then, I've helped countless travelers plan their Iceland adventures through private consultations, and I've noticed the same questions and concerns come up repeatedly for people considering solo camper van travel. Whether you’re planning your first solo trip or simply looking for practical advice, these are 21 of my biggest lessons, mistakes, tips, and honest thoughts after years of exploring Iceland on my own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVLaVg5G618 The 21 Tips I Share About Taking a Solo Camper Van Trip in Iceland Why a Heater Is Essential in an Iceland Camper Van How to Keep Yourself and Your Belongings Safe The Security Mistake Most Travelers Don’t Think About Why Good Insurance Can Save You Thousands Don’t Forget a Portable Charger Learn a Few Icelandic Phrases Before You Go Master the Art of Layering for Iceland’s Weather Packing Cubes Are a Camper Van Game-Changer Choosing the Right Camper Van Size What Comes Included in Most Iceland Camper Vans Surviving Middle-of-the-Night Bathroom Runs Why Water Shoes Deserve a Spot in Your Bag Bring Your Favorite Snacks From Home Not All Iceland Campsites Are Created Equal Visit Local Swimming Pools for Relaxation and Connection Cooking in a Camper Van Is Better Than You Think How to Avoid Expensive Speeding Tickets Check Weather and Road Conditions Every Day Exploring Iceland’s Highlands as a Solo Traveler Where You Can (and Can’t) Camp in Iceland Why Solo Travel in Iceland Is Truly Transformative Resources for Planning Your Iceland Camper Van Trip The Ultimate Packing Checklist for Iceland  Iceland Discount Code Bundle – save loads while exploring Iceland The Ultimate Guide to Renting a Car in Iceland Private Iceland Trip Consultations 1. Rent a Camper Van with a Heater Even during summer, Iceland can get surprisingly cold at night. A heater can make the difference between a miserable night and a comfortable one. I personally use the Go Lite Camper from Go Campers, and I run the heater almost every trip, even in July and August. Since you’re traveling alone, you don’t have another person helping generate body heat inside the van, so staying warm becomes even more important. 2. Always Lock Your Van Iceland is incredibly safe, but that doesn’t mean you should be careless. Whenever I left my van, even for a quick bathroom run, I locked it. I also locked it while sleeping at night. Most thefts are avoidable by keeping valuables out of sight and securing your vehicle properly. 3. Protect Your Personal Belongings While camper van break-ins are uncommon, pickpocketing can happen in busy tourist areas such as Reykjavík and popular Golden Circle attractions. It’s sad to say that pickpocketing has increased in recent years, so you have to be vigilant with securing your personal items in your backpacks or pockets.  Keep your bag zipped, valuables secure, and never leave important items visible.  This doesn’t happen on a massive scale in Iceland but it is happening enough that I have to talk about it. As a solo travel, you don’t have anyone else to look out for you, which can make you an easier target. 4. Get the Best Insurance You Can Afford This is one area where I recommend not cutting corners. Sand and ash protection is especially important in Iceland. Strong winds can cause serious damage to vehicles, and repairs can become very expensive if you aren’t properly covered. While this does apply to everyone who rents a car or camper van in Iceland, I feel it is very important for solo traveling because you are bearing the full cost on your own if something happens to the vehicle. Better to be protected than to be surprised with a big bill later on for damage that was not covered. Check what your credit card covers, but don’t assume it includes Iceland-specific risks.  Save Money on Your Iceland Camper Van Rental You can use my discount link to save 7% on your camper van rental with Go Campers and receive a free sleeping bag. I use their cars and campers when I travel around Iceland, and I've partnered with them for over 4 years now. The main reasons? Their customer service is amazing, and they have a wide range of vehicles to choose from. When you click on my discount link (https://www.gocampers.is/?ref=allthingsiceland), choose the dates for your travel and the 7% discount will automatically be applied. Choose a sleeping bag under the “extras” section, and the total price won't increase. And just so you know, using my link gives me a small commission at no extra cost to you. It's one of the ways you're supporting All Things Iceland and the content I create. Thank you in advance for that. 5. Bring a Portable Charger Your phone becomes your camera, GPS, communication device, and safety tool while traveling. A portable battery pack (power bank) has saved me numerous times when filming content or spending long days on trails. Plus, it is always necessary to have a charged device just in case you need to call for help, especially when traveling solo. Here is an affordable power bank option. 6. Learn a Few Icelandic Phrases Even simple phrases like: Góðan daginn (Good day) Takk fyrir (Thank you) can create meaningful interactions with locals. One of my favorite memories was chatting with a farmer in North Iceland who was genuinely excited that I was attempting to speak Icelandic. It certainly is not necessary to do this but a little goes a long way, in this instance. It was nice to be able to connect with Icelanders along the way, when I felt uop to socializing. 7. Learn How to Layer Properly Iceland’s weather changes constantly. A proper layering system should include: Moisture-wicking base layer Insulating layer Windproof and waterproof outer layer Hiking pants Sturdy boots This helps you stay comfortable without overpacking. You can find all of the essentials to pack in my free Ultimate Packing Checklist for Iceland. 8. Use Packing Cubes Packing cubes completely changed my camper van experience. Instead of digging through piles of clothes, everything stays organized and easy to find. When you’re living in a small space, even on your own, organization matters. My trip felt much more enjoyable because I could easily find clothes when I needed to, so I could continue on my adventure. These packing cubes are great! 9. Choose the Right Size Camper Van In my opinion, the size of your camper van does matter. Just because you are one person, doesn’t mean that the smallest size is the most suitable. I personally prefer a mid-sized camper van because it offers enough space to be comfortable while remaining easy to drive and park. I absolutely loved the ability to convert the bed into a table is especially useful during bad weather. It is work to make the conversion but it is totally doable as a solo traveler. 10. Know What Equipment Comes with Your Van Many camper vans already come with many things you need. The Go Lite Camper  that I frequently used and the other camper vans from Go Campers include: Portable stove Pots and pans Plates and utensils Electric cooler Running water sink Knowing what’s already included prevents unnecessary packing, and makes your solo traveling experience much easier. 11. Prepare for Cold Middle-of-the-Night Bathroom Runs This might be the least glamorous part of camper van life. I dreaded getting out of the van in the middle of the night to use the bathroom but I couldn’t avoid it. For those who don’t know, summer in Iceland can mean a high of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The evenings are normally chillier, so I figured out a strategy that works for me when it comes to these late night bathroom runs. Being warm and cozy inside your sleeping bag makes those late-night bathroom trips feel much harder. My solution: Park close to the bathroom Keep shoes near the door Have a sweater ready Bring your keys and phone I always locked my van when I left it, even in the middle of the night. Once, I got back in the van, I locked it again, because it made me feel secure knowing no one can get in the van while I slept. 12. Pack Water Shoes I learned this lesson the hard way. While visiting a hot spring in the Westfjords, I slipped and cut my toe. That was in the beginning of my first solo travel journey, and it sucked! It is not fun for that to happen, in general, but as a solo traveler, I was the only one there to take care of me. Yes, accidents can happen but some can be avoided. Bringing water shoes is added in protection from the elements, especially in natural hot springs. Water shoes provide: Better grip Foot protection Added safety at natural hot springs They’re now a permanent part of my packing list. Here are some water shoes that work well for Iceland. 13. Bring Your Favorite Snacks Travel fatigue is real. As a solo traveler, you are the only one making all of the decisions, cooking all the meals, doing the driving, and so on. Sometimes, you are too tired to make a full meal and if the weather is acting up, you might be in your van for a while. Having familiar snacks helps when you’re tired, hungry, or simply don’t feel like making another decision. Some of my favorites include: Protein bars Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches Instant meals – like Ramen Trail mix These were life savers during or after a long drive when I didn’t have the energy or time to cook a full meal. 14. Research Campsites in Iceland Before You Go Not all campsites are equal in Iceland. Some offer: Hot showers Laundry facilities Kitchens Electricity Amazing views Others provide only the basics in Iceland, and the price can still be the same! I like to use tjalda.is to search for camp sites all over Iceland that have the amenities that I want. If I found one that suited my needs, like a shower and laundry facilities, I would look up the Google Reviews for the place to see what others have said about it. Sometimes, I was willing to stay at a basic campsite because of its proximity to the attraction I was going to next, but I at least knew before I arrived that it was a basic campsite. It’s also helpful to know that in summer, all campsites in Iceland are open, but during fall, winter, and spring A little research ahead of time can significantly improve your trip, and help you manage expectations. 15. Use Local Swimming Pools to interact with Icelanders Because almost every town, even really small ones, have a  swimming pool in Iceland, there are over 100 of them to choose from.  They are fantastic places to: Relax Shower Meet locals Enjoy hot tubs and saunas They’re also one of the most authentic Icelandic experiences you can have. Whether you feel like socializing or just having a relaxing soak, add some local swimming pools to your itinerary. 16. Cooking in Your Camper Van Is Surprisingly Cozy One of my favorite discoveries was how enjoyable it is to cook inside the camper van during rainy or very windy weather. It’s comfortable, practical, and often much cheaper than eating out every day. Plus, in the Go Lite camper, there are vents in the ceiling and it is easy to open the doors for ventilation  17. Watch Your Speed or Potentially Bust Your Budget Iceland takes speeding seriously. Fines can be extremely expensive. I’ve heard of travelers paying: $500 or even over $900 As a solo traveler, those type of fines can completely bust your budget. Since that is totally avoidable, stick to the speed limits and enjoy the scenery instead. 18. Check Weather and Road Conditions Daily Conditions can change dramatically across Iceland, even within the same day. I remember driving in an area with blue skies and a completely clear road to then encounter snow on the road and cloud coverage. That all happened within an hour in East Iceland. Granted, I was driving higher up in elevation, but those conditions are entirely possible in Iceland. You can be prepared for them by checking the weather ahead of time. My go-to resources before heading out for the day in Iceland are: SafeTravel.is Road.is 19. Be Careful When Exploring the Highlands Solo The Highlands are incredible, but they require extra preparation. There are many places in the highlands that are not great for solo travel because the roads are intense due to deep river crossings. If you’re new to Highland driving, a beginner-friendly area I highly recommend is Hveradalir geothermal area in the Kerlingarfjöll mountain range. I have been there many times and it’s an incredibly beautiful place. The road can get a little rough but it doesn’t require a river crossing, which is a big relief for anyone traveling there. Before going there, make sure your camper van is approved and insured for driving on F-roads. 20. Camp Only at Designated Campsites Wild camping with a camper van is not allowed in Iceland. Following the rules helps protect Iceland’s nature and avoids costly fines. You must stay at an official campsites. I think this an especially positive law for solo travelers because you are at a spot where others are around in case you need help, it is safe, and there are facilities around for you to use. As I mentioned in #14, not all campsites in Iceland are created equal, so please do your research on which campsite suits you before going there. You normally do not need to pre-book a campsite. However, I highly recommend doing so, if you plan to camp during two occasions in Iceland. The first is Versulnarmannahelgi (Shop Keeper’s weekend). It’s always the weekend that includes the first Monday in August. During that weekend, many Icelanders go camping around the country, so the popular campsites get booked up. The second occasion is specific to 2026, which is the Total Solar Eclipse on August 12th. The prices for hotels and accommodations are thousands of dollars per night. Even camper van prices have increased for that week due to demand. It is worth booking campsites for at least the 11th and 12th. 21. Solo Travel in Iceland Is Truly Transformative This might be the most important lesson of all. Traveling alone gives you space to think, reflect, and experience Iceland at your own pace. Some of my favorite memories are simply standing in nature, listening to the wind, watching the landscape, and appreciating the freedom that comes with solo travel. It’s not always comfortable, but it is incredibly rewarding. Resources for Planning Your Iceland Camper Van Trip If you’re planning your own adventure around Iceland, these free resources can help: Ultimate Iceland Packing Checklist Know exactly what to pack for every season. Iceland Discount Code Bundle Save money on: Camper vans Car rentals Tours Activities Accommodations Iceland Car Rental Guide Learn about: Road signs Driving rules Insurance Road conditions Common mistakes visitors make Need Personalized Help? I also offer a limited number of private trip consultations where I help travelers create an itinerary, choose the right route, and maximize their time in Iceland. Happy travels, and I hope your solo Iceland adventure is as memorable as mine has been. Random Fact of the Epiosde During one of my camper van trips, I actually got stuck in the mud and had to get help getting out. Thankfully, someone kind helped because rescue services in Iceland can sometimes cost close to $1,000 depending on the situation. Icelandic Word of the Episode Húsbíll – camper van Hús means House in Icelandic and bíll means car, so it is literally a house car.

The best performers in the world have found a competitive edge that's completely free. You can use it too, and it starts tonight.When Dr Jemma King put wearables on Australia's Special Forces in 2017, the culture was "sleep when I'm dead". Within months, those same soldiers were showing off their recovery scores and competing over who slept the most. Not because they went soft. Because the data showed sleep was making them faster, sharper and safer, and elite performers chase anything that does that.Jemma has spent a decade measuring what great sleep unlocks in people whose decisions matter: Special Operations Command, Olympic swimmers, CEOs. Her conclusion is genuinely exciting. Sharp is recoverable at any age, and it doesn't take supplements or gadgets. It takes a handful of deliberate habits the world's best are already using.Jemma introduces you to the midnight librarian who explains your 3am wake-ups (and how to give her the night off), the express bus that takes you straight to deep sleep, and how to build your own Sleep First formula around your biology and your life.Your upgrade is waiting. 00:00 It's 3am.

In this episode, Jen gets real about the beliefs she's had to unlearn as a coach and a former competitor. She breaks down her thoughts on cardio, eating less, why chasing how you look is one of the least reliable ways to actually change it, and walks through the hormonal reasons why eating more consistently often beats white-knuckling a deficit. It's honest, a little vulnerable, and packed with the kind of lessons and confessions that only come from two decades in the industry.  Want to know more about 1:1 Coaching?

I Swear I Don't Want or Need Anything From You, But Secretly, I Do! Your body already knows you are lying. It knows before your mouth forms the sentence. The shoulders lift. The breath shortens. The jaw sets. All of it happens the instant the other person's response falls even slightly short of the invisible standard you refuse to admit exists. That reaction is not disappointment. It is the nervous system catching you in the act of protecting an attachment you have dressed up as love. Most people never see this because the lie is too useful. The phrase “I don't need anything from you” functions as perfect cover. It lets the demand keep running while the mouth claims moral high ground. The demand stays hidden. The attachment stays fed. The suffering stays unnamed. The Buddha did not say attachment to evil things produces suffering. He said attachment itself does. When the object of attachment is the specific ways another person continues to perform, the removal of that performance produces immediate and precise pain. The structure collapses not because love was lost, but because what was called love was never free of the requirement that the other person keep supplying the exact emotional or behavioral return that made the attachment feel like connection.

We all have a list… things we watched our parents do as they got older and swore we'd never do ourselves. We'd stay active. We'd embrace technology. We'd get the hearing aid. And then life happens.

A great burger looks simple—but barbecue experts know there is a surprising amount of science and technique behind getting it just right. From choosing the meat to handling the patties to what happens on the grill, a few small mistakes can mean the difference between a memorable burger and a disappointing one. Source: Steve Raichlen, author of The Barbecue Bible (https://amzn.to/4bgBEcM) Life has a way of speeding up. One day you're making plans for someday, and before you know it, months or years have gone by. That's why so many people eventually find themselves wondering: Did I spend my time on the things that really mattered? According to Jodi Wellman, avoiding regret isn't about quitting your job, moving to a tropical island, or making dramatic life changes. Instead, it comes from being intentional about how you spend your days and paying attention to the experiences, relationships, and opportunities that give life meaning. In this conversation, she shares a refreshing perspective on how to stop living on autopilot, make the most of the time you have, and create a life you'll look back on with satisfaction rather than regret. Jodi is a former corporate executive, executive coach, and author of You Only Die Once: How to Make It to the End with No Regrets (https://amzn.to/3KUdQ3Z).

They can shock, offend, amuse, bond people together, relieve pain, and communicate emotion in ways ordinary words often can't. But where do these words come from?

It's Stassi's freaking 38th Birthday!! This week, Stassi and Tay unpack Stassi's meet up with Bravo friends Craig and Austen at Barney's Beanery and their near-miss encounter with Travis and Jason Kelce. The conversation dives deep as Stassi breaks down her unique TikTok algorithm, which features Kelsey's solo rowing journey from CA to Hawaii and TSA warning ranch-dressing smugglers, among other things. Finally, the two confront their own friendship dynamics, leading to a high stakes agreement where Stassi swears on Chanel to never ghost Taylor if conflict arises.Thanks for supporting our sponsors:Minnow: Shop the summer collection at shopminnow.com and enter code MEETMINNOW15 at checkout to receive 15% off your first order.

World-renowned astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson (Author of Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter) returns to the Mayim Bialik's Breakdown studio for one of his most mind-bending conversations yet, covering UFOs, aliens, consciousness, near death experiences, secret government speculation, DMT entities, Antarctica's hidden lakes, and what humanity may discover beyond Earth.Neil reveals why he REFUSED an invitation to inspect an alleged alien body and explains what most people get wrong about extraterrestrials. He shares his biggest problems with how aliens are portrayed in Hollywood, why alien life may not need to be silicon-based, and whether stories about reverse-engineered UFO technology (including theories involving the Wright Brothers) hold any scientific weight.He also addresses the mysterious deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists connected to nuclear research and aerospace programs, and whether any of it could realistically be tied to nonhuman intelligence, UAPs, or classified technology.The conversation goes even deeper into consciousness and altered states. We explore the controversial DMT laser protocol experiments and why so many experiencers report seeing the same “source code,” encountering entities, communicating with departed souls, or entering what feels like other dimensions. Neil explains the scientific evidence he would require before accepting out-of-body experiences or near death experiences as real phenomena existing outside the brain.He also reveals why he has never used drugs, why he does not believe consciousness survives bodily death, and breaks down his fascinating “3 varieties of truth” framework for understanding reality itself.Plus:- What Neil deGrasse Tyson hopes humanity's first contact with aliens would actually look like- How aliens & UFOs became mainstream cultural topics- Why he wanted to become part of the alien conversation- Whether underground lakes beneath Antarctica could serve as models for icy alien oceans elsewhere in the solar system- Future of astrobiology, extraterrestrial discovery, & human understanding of consciousnessThis is one of the deepest and most controversial discussions Neil deGrasse Tyson has ever had on aliens, UFOs, DMT, consciousness, near death experiences, and the search for life beyond Earth!Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson's latest book, Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter: https://neildegrassetyson.com/books/2026-05-take-me-to-your-leader/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we met a woman named Sugar Honey Iced Tea, and if you're not excited about summer yet she will change your tune in 5 seconds flat. Klein had an eventful Father's Day when he popped two gummies and then immediately had to deal with his dog getting sprayed by a skunk. He proceeded to do all the wrong things which ended in him and his dog being trapped in a shower covered in peanut butter. We heard all your Father's Day fail stories, which included a dad who was pooped on, a dad who had to take his drunk wife to the ER, and a dad who had to abandon his tri-tip mid-grill when his kid got bitten by a Pomeranian. One of those lucky guys got himself a brand new TCL TV to make up for the worst Father's Day ever! What's the gayest thing about you? We'll go first. Klein drinks coffee with a straw and follows shirtless men on Instagram. Johnny once was late to work because he had to 'change outfits.' Jake is obsessed with the color purple and buys women's shoes, and Vanessa spends her free time roller blading. Where do you fit in? One thing we know: Ally's the straightest person on the show.

This week InObscuria exhumes those unmarked graves of unsigned artists! These bands may not have been signed to a major or gained internationally distributed success, but they were all rock stars to those lucky enough to hear and see them! Anyone who's ever been in a band and played local/regional shows knows that some of the best live acts and musicians (and friends) are met through sharing bills with other acts. We hope we turn you on to some great music that you may have otherwise never had a chance to hear! New to InObscuria? Every week your two hosts crawl down to the crypts to exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. These are artists that are all amazing, but lost to most of the world. If you were there, you know! If you dig it… go dig it up and buy it! Support these artists and keep your devil horns high in the air! Songs this week include: Ghost Of You – “Heartbreak Creepin (feat. Tuk Smith)” from Heartbreak Creepin – Single (2022) Ghost of You I Love Rich – “Wake Up, Let Me Rock You” from Respect The Rich (2014) I Love Rich ELEMENT 117 – “You Gotta Get Away” from You Gotta Get Away - Single (2024) 117 Bliss – “Dreams And Fantasies” from Beatitude (1996) Planeside – “Dead & Gone” from Under The Circumstances, It's Not Such A Bad Idea… (2008) Planeside Dayroom – “Contagious” from Contagious (1996) Dayroom Leilani Kilgore – “Snake In The Grass” from Snake In The Grass - Single (2025) Leilani Kilgore Sunbrain – “Not So Stranger” from Good Side (1994) Sunbrain Toecutter – “Beer Song” from Toecutter (1993)   Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!

Swear along with CrabDiving radio podcast Friday!

The guys from Lonely Island made a hilarious mockumentary 10 years ago called, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. It didn't do great at the box office, but over the years people have figured out how funny it actually is. Adam Rupp was the one who introduced it to Rob, and they've watched it on the Home Free bus many times. He was great on this episode and hope you enjoy!

Sometimes, you're talking with someone and you just seem to click. Other times, you just can't seem to get comfortable: they're standing too close or too far away for comfort, making too much or too little eye contact, touching or not touching you in a way that just doesn't quite feel right. But where do our senses of what feels comfortable in a conversation come from, and how can they be so different from each other? In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about understanding aliens, fantastical creatures, and perhaps the trickiest group of all, other human cultures. We talk about a science fiction book called Hellspark by Janet Kagan (which was recommended by a listener!) which is a murder mystery set on a planet of cross-cultural communication gone wrong, and which sent us on a whole deep dive into the world of proxemics, aka the linguistics of personal space. We also talk about how these early roots of cross-cultural communication studies have shifted in modern-day linguistic anthropology, and compare several newer speculative fiction books about alternative structures for human societies (plus aliens and/or dragons), including What We Are Seeking by Cameron Reed and To Shape A Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose.

It's a great resource if you're not sure what episode to listen to next or what to recommend to someone. We've added some new topics that let you browse, for example, which episodes analyze the linguistic elements of all the science fiction and fantasy that we've been reading! And we've kept the ability to browse episodes by linguistic structural features, which is perfect for when you're looking for an episode to pair with a topic you're teaching or studying. Go to https://lingthusiasm.com/topics In this month's bonus episode we get enthusiastic about idioms! We talk about some of our favourite idioms, the interplay between idioms and metaphors, why linguists are so excited about breaking idioms by changing one word slightly, and in particular why "the shit hit the fan" was responsible for multi-hour-long discussions that Gretchen participated in during grad school. (Swear warning, because there's really not another idiom that uh, hits the fan in the same way.) Join us on Patreon now to get access to this and 110+ other bonus episodes.
