A little after 7:30 p.m. on August 10, 2018, 28 year old Richard "Beebo" Russell was a couple hours into his work shift as a ground service agent for Horizon Air at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport when he inexplicably got into an airplane tug, moved an Alaskan Airline Bombardier Q400 from where it was parked for the night onto a runway, he turned and lined it up as if it were getting ready to take off...and he jumped on board by himself, started the plane and took off on what would be the most significant security breach with a domestic airline since 9/11.  What happened to Beebo Russell and why would he do something so drastic knowing he wouldn't be able to land it?  Music from FMA by Blue Dot Sessions entitled "Deeps Highway"SOURCES:https://allthatsinteresting.com/richard-russellhttps://skyk.ing/transcripthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Horizon_Air_Bombardier_Q400_incidenthttps://www.thestranger.com/guest-editorial/2018/08/17/30824665/i-worked-with-richard-russell-at-horizon-air-and-i-understand-why-he-did-what-he-didhttps://an.aero/how-to-become-a-ground-agent/https://nypost.com/2018/08/13/remains-found-on-island-where-suicidal-plane-thief-crash-landed/LINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.coCashm/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcastFacebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enX:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.comTikTok:  @killaforniadreamingpod Cash App:  $KDpodcastSupport the show

I love a good Christmas story.The kind where something strange and wonderful happens out in the wilderness. Where the magic of the season reaches places most people never go. Where even the darkest corners of the forest feel touched by something warm and old and meaningful.Over the years, I've told you stories like that.Stories of Sasquatch sightings on snowy December mornings.Of mysterious gifts left on remote cabin doorsteps.Of unexplained tracks leading to and from places where no tracks should exist at all.But tonight, friends, I'm not here to warm your heart.Tonight, I'm here to freeze your blood.South Carolina. 1985.A young insurance adjuster named Gerald Hutchins inherits a remote cabin deep in the forest from his great-uncle Amos. The old man had lived alone out there for more than twenty years, and the family whispered that he came back from the war… changed. Haunted. Given to muttering in languages no one recognized. Drawing strange symbols he would immediately burn in the fireplace.Gerald decides the cabin would be the perfect place to spend Christmas with his wife, Ellen, and their thirteen-year-old son, Marcus.A real holiday, he tells them. The kind they used to have before television and convenience took over. Just a family, a fire, and the quiet peace of the winter woods.What Gerald doesn't tell them is what he found when he first visited the cabin alone.The chains hanging above the fireplace.The birch switches stained dark with something he didn't want to examine too closely.And the mask. A horrible wooden mask with hollow eyes and a grin carved with far too many teeth.He doesn't tell them about the sound he heard coming from the second floor.The sound of hooves on hardwood. As Christmas Eve settles in, the temperature drops and the snow begins to fall. And the Hutchins family will learn that some traditions are older than Christianity. Some punishments are older than coal in a stocking. And some things that were meant to stay in the old country followed our ancestors across the ocean—hiding in the shadows of their ships, waiting patiently for the right moment to remind us that the old ways never truly died.They just learned how to wait.Long before Santa Claus became the jolly gift-giver we know today, the winter solstice was a time of fear as much as celebration in the Alpine regions of Europe. While Saint Nicholas rewarded good children, his dark companion dealt with the rest.Krampus. Half-goat. Half-demon. All nightmare. A creature with curved horns, a serpentine tongue, chains forged in hellfire, and birch switches for the wicked. A basket on its back to carry its prizes away—down to whatever hell it called home.Krampusnacht, celebrated on December fifth, saw young men dress as the creature and roam the streets, terrorizing towns. But the oldest stories—the ones whispered long before costumes—spoke of something far older than men in masks. A being that existed before Christianity tried to tame it. A being that still walks the winter forests when nights grow long and the barriers between worlds wear thin.A being that always comes back.Content Warning:This episode contains intense horror imagery, supernatural violence, and themes involving harm to a family, including a child. Listener discretion is strongly advised.  This one is not for the faint of heart—and absolutely not for little ones. I've spent a long time telling stories about strange things in the woods. Bigfoot encounters. Unexplained phenomena. Creatures that linger just beyond the firelight. Even the scariest of those stories often carry a strange warmth—a sense that whatever's out there might be mysterious, might be frightening, but isn't necessarily evil. This story is different. This story is about something very evil.Something that has been doing terrible things to humanity for a very long time.Something that doesn't care about your Christmas spirit, your good intentions, or your prayers.I wanted to tell this story because I think we've sanitized our holidays. We've forgotten that our ancestors celebrated the winter solstice not just with feasts and gifts—but with rituals meant to protect them from the darkness. They understood something we've chosen to forget.The longest night of the year is the longest for a reason.So as you listen, maybe keep a candle burning.Maybe check the locks on your doors.And if you hear something on the roof that sounds a little too heavy to be reindeer…Well. You know what to do.Until next time…Sweet dreams.And Merry Christmas.

It's the last news-focused episode of the year, and the HITO men are here to talk about Trump's DOJ continuing to make the most suspicious move at every turn when it comes to the Epstein files. Pam Bondi thought she could get away with not only violating the law and not releasing the full files, but also fully redacting 550 pages of the little that was released. The DNC is also hiding things from the people as Ken Martin (DNC chair) announced the party would not be releasing their 2024 election autopsy. VOTE IN HITO AWARDS SHOW: https://forms.gle/xShijH2vSSFHVTAa7 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodSubstack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/HITO Merch: https://headintheoffice.com/ Get 40% off Ground News: https://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=headintheoffice YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.comSeen on this episode:The Epstein Controversy Continues - https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/20/us/politics/trump-epstein-files-government-website.html https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5658888-epstein-files-trump-documents-release/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8r38ne1x2mo https://www.cbsnews.com/news/epstein-files-redaction-over-500-pages-entirely-blacked-out/ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/at-least-16-files-disappear-from-doj-site-for-epstein-documents-including-trump-photohttps://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-fbi-spent-nearly-1-214908889.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFmTXYm9P38Ku3D1Ay4vrKfTgWAUsb8oi7d8d-oKZxamtI6rJKPCp6EjhMgFj75zeJt7FV0nuNKRXIqMs74K3YFIOZE-i8nBH8JbQ2l_WQDWXifCDf4x5D1zXqhwdqPMqDM0YKMjI8C-1eYq0rwUkp98T_HK-a3h1e5xn3EJFD55https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/lawmakers-threaten-legal-action-bondi-doj-partial-release/story?id=128618210DNC hides 2024 autopsy report - https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/18/dnc-kills-its-own-public-2024-autopsy-00697403?nid=0000015a-dd3e-d536-a37b-dd7fd8af0000&nname=playbook-pm&nrid=0000014e-f10e-dd93-ad7f-f90fbc220002 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/us/politics/dnc-2024-autopsy-democrats-ken-martin.html Bari Weiss - ​​https://apnews.com/article/60-minutes-trump-weiss-cecot-56c68d45c3d6bc7183f23aa285a70719?__vfz=medium%3Dstandalone_top_pages

Bob Flynn has written a book — titled “Tork's Hill & Mead's Pond” — about two Voorheesville men who used their private property to create what he terms “winter wonderlands” where he and his friends could gather. Flynn's book captures an earlier time when kids played outside — even in cold winters — and when there was a sense of community, a sense of place, and a sense of trust.

Transcript:Nl: Onder de heldere maan, op een koude winteravond, lag het stille strand.En: Under the bright moon, on a cold winter evening, lay the quiet beach.Nl: Een zachte gloed bedekte de kustlijn, waar de golven zachtjes de kust raakten.En: A soft glow covered the coastline, where the waves gently touched the shore.Nl: De lucht was fris en doordrongen met de verre klanken van kerstliederen uit een nabijgelegen dorp.En: The air was crisp and filled with the distant sounds of Christmas carols from a nearby village.Nl: Het was 24 december en Sven had een plan.En: It was December 24th, and Sven had a plan.Nl: Hij wilde zijn partner Anja verrassen met een speciale kerstavond aan zee.En: He wanted to surprise his partner Anja with a special Christmas Eve by the sea.Nl: Sven was een bedachtzaam persoon.En: Sven was a thoughtful person.Nl: Hij hield van tradities en waardeerde de kleine momenten met de mensen van wie hij hield.En: He loved traditions and valued the small moments with the people he loved.Nl: Hij had de perfecte plek op het strand uitgezocht.En: He had picked out the perfect spot on the beach.Nl: Enkele lantaarns, een dekentje, en hete chocolademelk in thermosflessen zouden de avond compleet maken.En: A few lanterns, a blanket, and hot chocolate in thermoses would complete the evening.Nl: De weg naar het strand was smal en een beetje lastig.En: The path to the

hij doorzetten ondanks de pijn?En: Could he persevere despite the pain?Nl: Maar dan herinnerde hij zich iets wat zijn moeder hem ooit vertelde: "De magie van Kerstmis ligt niet in perfectie, maar in

Transcript:Da: På en kold vinterdag, hvor snefnug dalede stille ned, var Kasper og Signe i gang med at rydde op på loftet i deres afdøde bedsteforældres hyggelige bondehus i den danske provins.En: On a cold winter day, where snowflakes quietly drifted down, Kasper and Signe were busy cleaning up the attic in their late grandparents' cozy farmhouse in the Danish countryside.Da: Det var et gammelt hus, omgivet af nøgne ege og et tyndt lag sne, der glimtede i vinterlyset.En: It was an old house, surrounded by bare oaks and a thin layer of snow that glittered in the winter light.Da: Mens de ryddede op mellem de gamle trækister og støvede møbler, stødte Signe på en gammel, gulnet konvolut.En: As they cleared away among the old wooden chests and dusty furniture, Signe came across an old, yellowed envelope.Da: "Kasper, se hvad jeg har fundet," kaldte Signe, hendes stemme fyldt med undren og et strejf af håb.En: "Kasper, look what I found," called Signe, her voice filled with wonder and a hint of hope.Da: Kasper, praktisk som han var, så først kun op fra sin bunke og hævede et øjenbryn.En: Kasper, practical as he was, only looked up from his pile at first and raised an eyebrow.Da: "Det er vel bare mere affald?"En: "It's probably just more trash?"Da: spurgte han rutinemæssigt, mens han forsatte med at fylde en papkasse med ubrugelige genstande.En: he asked routinely as he continued to fill a cardboard box with useless items.Da: Signe åbnede forsigtigt konvolutten, og en foldet seddel gled ud.En: Signe carefully opened the envelope, and a folded note slipped out.Da: Da hun begyndte at læse, ændrede hendes øjne sig fra nysgerrighed til noget langt dybere.En: As she began to read, her eyes changed from curiosity to something much deeper.Da: Det var et brev fra deres bedstefar, skrevet til dem mange år før.En: It was a letter from their grandfather, written to them many years before.Da: Det handlede om hans liv på gården, hans dybe kærlighed til stedet, og hans ønsker for dets fremtid.En: It spoke about his life on the farm, his deep love for the place, and his wishes for its future.Da: Kasper stoppede op og kiggede på hende med en blanding af irritation og interesse.En: Kasper paused and looked at her with a mixture of irritation and interest.Da: "Hvad står der?"En: "What does it say?"Da: Signe tøvede først.En: Signe hesitated at first.Da: Hun vidste, hvor meget huset betød for hende, men også hvor pragmatisk Kasper var.En: She knew how much the house meant to her, but also how pragmatic Kasper was.Da: Alligevel samlede hun mod.En: Still, she gathered courage.Da: "Det er om bedstefars drømme," sagde hun blidt.En: "It's about grandpa's dreams," she said gently.Da: Hun begyndte at læse højt.En: She began to read aloud.Da: Brevet fortalte om bedstefars glade minder om hele familien samlet ved julemiddagen i køkkenet, om hans vision om, at huset skulle forblive i familien, hvor det kunne skabe nye minder i takt med generationsskiftene.En: The letter told of grandpa's happy memories of the whole family gathered at Christmas dinner in the kitchen, about his vision that the house should remain in the family, where it could create new memories through the generations.Da: Det var en kærlighedserklæring til stedet og et håb om varig forbindelse.En: It was a love letter to the place and a hope for lasting connection.Da: Kaspers ansigt blødte op, da han lyttede.En: Kasper's face softened as he listened.Da: Ordene ramte ham dybt, vækkede noget, han ikke havde forventet.En: The words struck him deeply, awakening something he hadn't expected.Da: Han kiggede rundt i loftet, på tingene fra deres barndom, og indså, at huset var mere end blot mursten og træ.En: He looked around the attic, at the things from their childhood, and realized that the house was more than just bricks and wood.Da: "Vi kan ikke sælge det," sagde Kasper til sidst, rørt, mens han trak vejret dybt ind.En: "We can't sell it," Kasper finally said, moved, as he took a deep breath.Da: "Det må være en måde at beholde det på."En: "There must be a way to keep it."Da: For første gang i dagevis smilede Signe ægte.En: For the first time in days, Signe genuinely smiled.Da: "Vi skal nok finde en løsning," bekræftede hun og betragtede sin bror med taknemmelighed.En: "We will find a solution," she confirmed, looking at her brother with gratitude.Da: De gik hånd i hånd ned ad den smalle loftstrappe, fast besluttede på at ære deres bedstefars ønsker.En: They went hand in hand down the narrow attic stairs, determined to honor their grandfather's wishes.Da: I den lune stue sad de sammen og formulerede en plan.En: In the warm living room, they sat together and formulated a plan.Da: De blev enige om at holde et familiemøde og diskutere mulige måder at håndtere gælden på uden at opgive deres elskede barndomshjem.En: They agreed to hold a family meeting and discuss possible ways to handle the debt without giving up their beloved childhood home.Da: Kasper havde lært at værdsætte sit familiearv mere, mens Signe forstod betydningen af at finde en balance mellem følelser og ansvar.En: Kasper had learned to appreciate his family heritage more, while Signe understood the importance of finding a balance between emotions and responsibility.Da: Sneen faldt stille udenfor, men inde i det gamle bondehus var alt varmt og fyldt med håbet om en lysere fremtid.En: The snow fell quietly outside, but inside the old farmhouse, everything was warm and filled with the hope of a brighter future.

Tish Saves Preston, Corpse Hawking, Trump's Handmaid's Tale, & Stu's Tribute.Welcome to episode forty-two of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:1) Some updates about past issues we covered, including how David is repulsed by Levis, and is steadfast that AOC is more palatable than JD Piglet Vance, who met the Pope one day and the next day the Pope died of a stroke. We also discuss how NY Attorney General Tish James, a Trump nemesis, cut a real estate deal and saved the Preston school, while Trump has not closed any significant trade deals or ended the war in Ukraine or Gaza.2) Harvard has had its share of scandals these days, including how a morgue manager, Sedgwick Lodge, was selling body parts for cash in what can only be described as a comic macabre criminal enterprise.3) Trump has proposed paying women a $5,000 bonus if they have a baby and are US citizens in order to increase America's declining birth rates. We suspect that this must be a brainchild of his best friend, Elon Musk, who pays women $15 million for having his babies, as noted in a recent Wall Street Journal article. This proposal is truly sickening and reflects the values of Elizabeth Warren rather than the Republican Party.3) Stu ends the show by reading a letter from a friend who is close to dying and his farewell which is rather poignant. This fitting tribute is heartfelt and moving.We welcome comments on our podcasts as well which can be left on our website or any other platform you may be tuning in on.Connect with David & Stu:Email David & Stu at davidandstuunhinged@gmail.com and share your comments, concerns, and questions.We encourage all to visit our website (https://www.rageworksnetwork.com/show/david-stu-unhinged/) and please leave comments for our consideration.

Margaret Atwood is best known as the author of The Handmaid's Tale, and she's won a slew of awards for her novels, poetry collections, and children's books. Now, at the age of 86, she's written her first memoir, The Book of Lives. In this episode, Adam and Margaret break down her perspective on what creative jobs AI will and won't threaten and discuss the evidence on the benefits of reading banned books. They also muse about why heroes need monsters and what it means to be delightfully disagreeable.
