In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with the night's headlines, from National Guardsmen refusing to enter Portland to John Stamos' defense of Lori Loughlin. The crew unpacks the phrase “busted her up to the core,” swaps stories, and invites viewers to call in with their own confessions before diving into the week's strangest headlines. They react to Jeff Daniels' painfully sincere protest song inspired by the “No Kings” rally, then break down the bizarre story of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of ending the life of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson after a violent encounter in Thailand led to a spiral of rage over medical costs. From there, they cover a brazen daylight jewel heist at the Louvre, wonder how anyone fences stolen crown jewels in Detroit, and question TMZ's claim that Trump might commute Diddy's sentence. Later, they talk A24's new Friday the 13th prequel, the strange world of tribute bands, and a fan's oddly touching moment with a Def Leppard drumstick. The episode wraps with Jim Carrey's rumored Jetsons reboot and what a modern Spacely Sprockets might look like today. Today's guests on "Normal World" are Derek Richards and Kevin Kramis.

So instead you can expect discussions about David's old VHS copy of MMA fights, not doing much work as a petrol station attendant in the 90s, travel plans, Joe's fears of Thailand and David's long forgotten dreams about moving to Antigua.

Both of Dan's stories come from Thailand. Thailand has a LOT of supernatural stories!  We begin in Bangkok where we explore an abandoned and supposedly haunted skyscraper.  Then, we'll head to one of Thailand's biggest college campuses, Chiang Mai University, to examine a few of the resident spirits there. And learn a bit about the relationship between Thai culture and the spirit world along the way.  Then, Lynze has three very different stories this week. We begin in a hospital with a patient who raises hell in life... and maybe in death. Then, we head to Nevada to hear one persons harrowing tale of being chased in the dark. We wrap up this week in Sweden where a young man hopes to get lucky with a new love interest but goes home with something far more interesting! Scared To Death LIVE! 5th Annual Halloween Show!  https://www.moment.co/scaredtodeath/scaredtodeath-true-tales-of-hallows-eve-5Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?

Jack Kornfield and Prof. Rajiv S. Joshi explore ‘inner climate change,' guiding us through meditation and reflection on transforming the world by becoming the Tree of Enlightenment.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/heartwisdom and get on your way to being your best self.Jack's new book hits shelves on 11/11: All in This Together: Stories and Teachings for Loving Each Other and Our World – Preorder your copy today!“As much as we want to transform the world, if we don't change ourselves, we might not inspire those around us and perhaps change the system.” –Prof. Rajiv S. JoshiIn this episode, Jack and Rajiv mindfully explore:Guided meditation: A journey into becoming the Tree of Enlightenment—rooted, steady, and open to the sky. Jack and Prof. Rajiv invite us to feel the deep stillness and sacred presence of the trees, reminding us that awakening is a natural unfolding within the web of life.Buddha and trees: The Buddha's life was interwoven with trees—born beneath one, meditating and awakening beneath another, and passing away surrounded by their quiet grace. Trees mirror the path of the awakened heart: grounded in the Earth, reaching toward the light.Trees as ancestors: They are our elders, silent teachers who breathe life into the world. Through their patience and generosity, they remind us of what it means to listen, to endure, and to belong.Collective healing: Our awakening is not only personal—it is collective. Through love across generations, we can heal the planet and one another, planting seeds of compassion that will grow long after us.Radical compassion: To live with an open heart requires both tenderness and courage. We learn to trust, to build bridges, to speak truth, and to act for justice with mindfulness and care.System change: True transformation begins within and extends outward. Each of us has a role to play in creating a world rooted in awareness, kindness, and right action.Spiritual community: Sangha becomes the living ground for our practice—a space to learn, to stumble, to grow, and to embody a new way of being together.Rajiv's story: After his accident, Rajiv discovered that spirituality is not apart from life—it is life. Every breath, every act, every moment becomes practice when the heart is awake.This Dharma Talk originally took place on 9/8/25 for Spirit Rock Meditation Center's Monday Night Dharma Talk and Guided Meditation. Stay up to date with Jack's upcoming livestreams and events here. About Prof. Rajiv S. Joshi: Professor Joshi is the Founder of Bridging Ventures and former Associate Dean for Climate Action at Columbia University. He helped launch Columbia's Climate School with President Obama, and has led groundbreaking work in global collaboration, climate technology, and regenerative entrepreneurship.“With trust, we learn to build bridges, not walls. That skill—the capability to build bridges in the most difficult of contexts—requires the depth of compassion.” –Prof. Rajiv S. JoshiAbout Jack Kornfield:Jack Kornfield trained as a Buddhist monk in the monasteries of Thailand, India, and Burma, studying as a monk under the Buddhist master Ven. Ajahn Chah, as well as the Ven. Mahasi Sayadaw. He has taught meditation internationally since 1974 and is one of the key teachers to introduce Buddhist mindfulness practice to the West.

This week on Hysteria 51, we crank the weird dial to 11 with phantom radio signals and frozen sky turds—because that's where the news cycle is at, folks.First up: Cambodia is accusing Thailand of psychological warfare via ghostly broadcasts along the border. Locals say they're hearing creepy voices and haunting music at night, with zero explanation. Are they propaganda? Poltergeists? Or just some dude with a karaoke machine and too much time?Then, we head to India where residents of Gurugram found mysterious frozen chunks that fell from the sky and stored them in a fridge, thinking it was a rare mineral. Plot twist: it was airplane poop. That's right—turns out not all that glitters is gold, and not all that falls from above is a blessing.It's specters on the airwaves and sewage from the stratosphere in one delightfully deranged episode. Conspiracy Bot is way too excited about both stories.Tune in now—before your speakers whisper back and your freezer becomes a crime scene.Links & Resources

Before he became the face of one of America's strangest murder cases, Luigi Mangione was having the time of his life in Thailand — or maybe not. According to his travel diary, Luigi's “journey of self-discovery” took a bizarre turn involving an unprovoked ladyboy ambush, a lost phone, and some deep spiritual reflection in Japan. Scott and Frank break down Mangione's strange trip abroad, the alleged assault, and what investigators found in his diary — because nothing says inner peace like chaos in Bangkok.

The gripping and harrowing true story of Jonathan Wheeler, who spent 18 years in Thailand's notorious prison system. Enticed by an offer of $10,000, Wheeler agreed to smuggle H from Bangkok to Taiwan - a decision that ultimately cost him nearly two decades of his life. His memoir provides an unflinching look at the brutal realities of life inside Thailand's most feared prisons, including Bang Kwang, also known as the Big Tiger. Inside its oppressive walls, Wheeler faced unimaginable suffering - locked in cramped cells with dangerous inmates, brutalized by corrupt guards, and battling the daily fear of violence and disease. Yet, amidst the cruelty and chaos, he found brief moments of humanity, forming unlikely friendships with fellow prisoners and clinging to the hope of survival.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by lightweight knockout artist Drew Dober fresh off his record-setting 10th UFC lightweight KO — a win that came the same weekend he turned 37 years old.Dober opens up about balancing the pressures of a three-fight skid with life as a father to a two-year-old daughter, celebrating the victory with Krispy Kreme, and why sharpening his ground game is his next focus as he continues to evolve as a martial artist.Then, Melissa Croden makes her first appearance on the show — joined by her friend's rabbit, Eddie, in the first official rabbit cameo in UFC Unfiltered history. After reflecting on the thrill of winning her UFC debut in front of home fans, the Canadian bantamweight shares how a spontaneous three-month break from her paramedic job to train in Thailand helped her realize she had what it takes to pursue MMA at the highest level — while still dabbling in the profession she loves in the way Stipe Miocic did as a firefighter.Plus, Jim and Matt break down what they got right (and wrong) from their UFC Vancouver picks.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Shat the Movies, we're diving into The Beach (2000), where Leonardo DiCaprio ditches civilization for a secret island paradise, and things go off the rails fast. Directed by Danny Boyle and loaded with Y2K angst, hallucinatory madness, and a killer soundtrack, this film tries to mix Lord of the Flies, Apocalypse Now, and a Gap commercial. Gene and Big D unpack the wild tone shifts, moral chaos, and whether Leo's backpacker nightmare still holds up today. Movie Plot:The desire to find something real -- to connect with something or someone -- is what drives Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio), a young American backpacker who arrives in Thailand with adventure on his mind. Etienne (Guillaume Canet) and Francoise (Virginie Ledoyen) join him on an adventure to "The Beach," a mystical paradise. However, this paradise is less than perfect.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As two more hostages' bodies are released to Israel, leaving 16 captives' bodies in Gaza, Fabian discusses the moment when Hamas will not be able to locate additional bodies and will require the help of other countries, creating a longer process. With terror operatives attacking Israeli troops in Gaza on a nearly daily basis, Fabian talks about reaching the end of war, with IDF troops still operating in more than half of the Gaza Strip's territory, demolishing tunnels, and enforcing the yellow line of withdrawal. After two soldiers were wounded by an explosive device in the West Bank, Fabian discusses whether this denotes a significant increase in activity in the area, given that incidents have been on a downturn since the start of the war. He also looks at an IDF strike that killed a Hezbollah operative in southern Lebanon, another breach of the nearly year-long ceasefire as individual operatives haven't given up, and which is why the IDF is still present in the area. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

It's time to make men “dangerous” again. Father and son Matt and Maxim Smith join Glenn to break down their epic alternative to a college education. While most young people descend into debt to prepare for jobs already threatened by the rise of AI, 19-year-old Maxim has spent what would have been his college years becoming an EMT, wrangling horses in Wyoming, sailing the Falkland Islands, earning a pilot's license, learning Muay Thai in Thailand, and more as the first beta tester for “The Preparation,” an adventure designed to make young men “confident, competent, and dangerous.” In a culture that drives young men away from masculinity and toward unlimited pornography and video games, our sons can still become “Renaissance men” by bucking the system of radical leftist-dominated academia and instead becoming financially savvy men of virtue and real-world skill.   Order a copy of “The Preparation: How to Become Confident, Competent, and Dangerous” here: https://www.amazon.com/Preparation-Become-Competent-Confident-Dangerous/dp/B0FLRKYCCP   GLENN'S SPONSORS:   Relief Factor: If you're living with aches and pains, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement, could help you feel better and live better.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the planned “No Kings” protests across the U.S., Antifa-linked terrorism charges, IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley's new probe into leftist funding networks, major indictments involving voting machine companies, the arrest of former National Security Advisor John Bolton, and a surprising Pentagon media shake-up.   Nationwide “No Kings” Protests: Over 200 leftist groups — including Indivisible and the Communist Party USA — are coordinating mass demonstrations against President Trump. Organizers admit they're modeling the effort on past “color revolutions,” with foreign influence on Reddit shaping messaging and funding. Paid agitators and billionaire donors like George Soros and Christy Walton are also backing the events.   Antifa Terrorism Charges in Texas: Two Antifa members were indicted for a July 4th attack on an ICE facility that left a police officer shot in the neck. Bryan warns the group will likely appear at this weekend's protests.   IRS Whistleblower Targets Leftist Donors: Gary Shapley, who helped expose Hunter Biden's tax scandal, is now working with the Trump administration to investigate non-profits and mega-donors funding extremist groups. Democrats call it “revenge,” while Trump's team insists “no one is above the law.”   Voting Machine Scandals: Smartmatic was indicted for bribing foreign officials to win contracts abroad, while Dominion was sold and rebranded as “Liberty Vote.” Bryan calls for a return to secure, paper-based elections, drawing on his CIA experience hacking offline systems.   John Bolton Indicted for Leaking Secrets: Bolton faces 18 felony counts for retaining and transmitting classified CIA materials through personal email. Iranian hackers accessed his devices, endangering American operatives. Bryan says, “He traded lives for a book deal.”   Pentagon Restricts Media Access: Journalists walked out after new rules allowed revoking press credentials for soliciting classified info. Bryan calls it “a long-overdue correction” given partisan infiltration of the press.   China, Asia, and the Americas: Trump eyes aid to the Solomon Islands to counter China, supports Japan's conservative coalition, mediates peace between Thailand and Cambodia, and monitors troop mobilization in Venezuela.   Medical Breakthrough — Gut Health and Cancer: University of Pennsylvania researchers found that exercise boosts gut bacteria producing formate, improving cancer immunotherapy. Fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, and kefir may help patients recover faster.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: No Kings protest Indivisible color revolution, Antifa ICE attack Texas, Gary Shapley IRS Soros probe, Smartmatic bribery indictment, Dominion Liberty Vote sale, John Bolton indictment Top Secret leaks, Pentagon media rules transparency, Thailand Cambodia peace talks Trump, Venezuela drone strike, University of Pennsylvania gut bacteria cancer study

Cc Madhya 15.109-169 ------------------------------------------------------------ I was just thinking this morning, when I was chanting my japa, the first time I heard of the Hare Krishna mantra. As I really relish that memory, just hearing it and thinking, "That is really some mysterious thing they're doing." Then I remember the first time I said "Hari Krishna" was to the devotees. They were walking away from the Harinām on the UC Berkeley campus. I just happened to be down there taking a music lesson, walking with my brother, and we saw them walking away from the Harinām. One of them had a mṛdaṅga slung over his back. And to impress my brother, I shouted out to the devotee. I said, "Hare Krishna!" The devotee turned around, and he looked at us with such enthusiasm; he said, "Hare Krishna!" And it was almost written in his countenance that, "Okay, boy, you blew it because we own you now." My brother actually looked at me and said, "What did you do?" Although there's fine print, the fact of the matter is, it's very direct. Kṛṣṇa is in his name 100%, 110%, because, as Rūpa Gosvāmī says: vācyaḿ vācakam ity udeti bhavato nāma svarūpa-dvayam (Namaṣṭakam verse 6) dṛśaḿ tattvāndhānām api diśati bhakti-praṇayinīm (Namaṣṭakam verse 3) That is, he says, "Okay, Kṛṣṇa and his name are the same 100%," but he goes, "No, wait a minute. The Holy Name is 110%." Because he said, "Kṛṣṇa, we may leave Kṛṣṇa, turn our back on him, but the Holy Name comes after us, and the Holy Name is more merciful." He said, "That's the difference." He said, "Same, same, but," as they say in Thailand, "same, same, but different." So the Holy Name is same, same, but different, because it is same 100%. But then 110% means the Holy Name is more merciful than Kṛṣṇa, because he just enters into your ear. People walking down the street, they are defenseless. When we do Harinām, we watch, and we see even the dogs go by, and they're a little freaked out, usually, because kartālas are intense. But still, the Holy Name is going in, and we think, "Okay, doggy, we'll see you soon, somewhere." And then, the people—the looks on their faces! It's the greatest show on earth to see how the Holy Name is entering their ears, entering their hearts, and then rearranging everything with the first hearing of the name, wherever somebody is starting from, whatever platform. Then that process: it's effective. It's always effective. And even if you can't see it at first, just like radiation—you say, "I didn't feel anything"—but then the symptoms will come, because Kṛṣṇa is all-powerful.

In this deeply personal episode of the Say Yes Anyway Podcast, I open up about one of the most important and heartbreaking topics I've ever explored—human trafficking. As I record this episode from Thailand, a country known for both its beauty and its dark realities surrounding exploitation, I reflect on the journey that led me to dedicate my life to raising awareness and creating change.I share how my awakening to this issue began over 16 years ago in Seattle when I first learned about trafficking happening right in my own community. That discovery ignited a lifelong mission that has since taken me around the world—from Los Angeles to Thailand—working alongside organizations fighting for freedom and restoration.We explored:The global realities and human stories behind sex trafficking in Thailand and beyondThe emotional and psychological manipulation that keeps individuals trapped in exploitationThe power of compassion and radical love as tools for transformation and justiceMy experiences serving women on the streets of Los Angeles and what those encounters taught me about resilience and hopeThe heart behind Wholeness Journey and how it brings healing, identity, and community to survivorsWhy it's time for all of us to step up, speak up, and become changemakers in our own waysThis episode is a call to action—to see, to care, and to do something. Change starts when we say yes to awareness and allow compassion to move us toward action. Together, we can create a ripple effect of hope and healing.It would mean the world if you can share this episode with a friend who's ready to step into her zone of genius and create lasting transformation. One brave YES can change everything.If you liked it, download and share it with a friend or on social media and tag @jessdahl_. Follow along our impact work @wholenessjourney

In this episode, Macky sits down with the legendary Breeder Steve, founder of Spice of Life Seeds, for an unfiltered chat about what's happening in Thailand, the strains he's currently working with at home, and some of his new breeding projects. Thailand's cannabis laws have been making global headlines. From early legalization to the current political pushback. Breeder Steve shares his insider perspective on what this means for growers, breeders, and cannabis culture worldwide. We also dive into his personal grow setup, the genetics he's developing, and how he sees the future of breeding and seed innovation. Do you have any suggestions for guest on the show?

In episode 218, host Galit Friedlander and guest Ben “BTEK” Chung (Kinjaz co-founder, Jabbawockeez, America's Best Dance Crew, and entrepreneur/consultant) dig into what happens when you refuse to take the conventional route. Ben shares how he went from production work at MTV to dancing full-time, creating his own lane instead of following someone else's path. We talk about best communication practices, navigating contracts with confidence, and redefining success as your career and even priorities change. Ben opens up about mindset, faith, and finding growth in life's detours, plus what it really takes to stay sharp and inspired over the long game.

We've all seen the incredible amount of drama that can go down if you don't run a tight ship in Thailand - everything from visa worries and bank problems to relationship blow-ups and trouble with the law. But it seems that a huge proportion of this drama is reserved for people relatively new to Thailand. Greg and Ed discuss why, as long-term expats, they seem to miss a lot of this drama. Is it something they did? Or did they just age out of the baggage train? As both have been in the country for effectively a quarter of a century, the guys have solved a lot of problems and overcome a lot of obstacles to the point that they are each happy with their somewhat stable, undramatic lives. Many expats in the first few years of their life in Thailand experience CRAZY amounts of drama and adaptation, most which are way in the rearview mirror for Greg and Ed.  First, Ed brings up obvious contrasts: early stayers almost always have to deal with visa, work permit, and address-reporting issues. Beginners have to sort that stuff out in the first place, which really isn't that easy, but then have to worry about complying for the months and years to come. Border runs at first may actually seem like a version of a holiday, but they QUICKLY become a stressful annoyance due their cost, complications, and inherent uncertainty.  Second, Greg mentions more current problems, such as the Thai government's crackdown on money laundering, which seems to have cast an absurdly wide net and effectively shut down the bank accounts of many short term expats, but has left most (but not all) long-termers alone. He reiterates his old advice: if you are here more than a few months, you should step-by-step become more legitimate ON PAPER, such as by getting the proper visa, work permit, bank account, driver's license, credit card - anything you can. Every little bit helps to build your credibility as a serious person that the government is less likely to trifle with. The boys conclude with a vow not to dunk on those suffering short-timers and to remember when they themselves were wee-little expats too. :)  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

What is HairAid and how can a hairstylist actually change a life in one week? Ambrosia talks with Alannah Zilkowsky (HairAid project lead) and Corey/Hairdustry about HairAid's volunteer-led projects in Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Guatemala. Learn how teams teach core foundational haircuts in less than a week, why graduates can earn income immediately, who can volunteer (you don't need to be an educator), costs and logistics, real success stories, and why many stylists return feeling re-energized and burnout-free. If you've wondered how to use your salon skills for global impact, this is your playbook. Catch the Profit Marker Replay HERE: https://small-kiwi-98108.myflodesk.com/ao7u0l0qzq To learn more about HairAid: https://hairaid.org.au/ 1. HairAid is a volunteer-led charity that teaches core foundational haircuts in less than a week, so people in extreme poverty can earn income immediately. 2. You don't need to be an “educator” to serve basic skills. Willingness to follow HairAid's method, and a servant mindset are enough.   3. Projects operate in countries like Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Guatemala, partnering with local NGOs for lasting impact.   4. Students often experience their first formal education on day one, and by day's end they complete a live one-length cut with guidance.   5. The curriculum covers greeting, tools, sectioning, one-length, V-shape, long layers, round layers, graduated bob, and short cuts (adapted per location).   6. Impact is immediate: graduates open micro-salons, support families, and even return as translators/trainers, creating ripple effects.   7. Volunteers report personal transformation, learning presence, surrender, and gratitude, often returning re-energized and cured of burnout.   8. HairAid's logistics remove guesswork: pre-trip packets, packing lists, cultural notes, training videos, and on-ground induction day. 9. Typical projects host 12–18 volunteers; costs include a volunteer fee plus flights, many stylists fundraise via clients and salon events. 10.  Common fears (cost, travel, “am I good enough?”) are normal; pairing with experienced leads and teammates makes it manageable. 11. Service extends beyond the classroom: HairAid supports local social enterprises (hotels, eateries) to uplift the wider community. 12. Post-COVID rebuilding means fewer trips now, with more locations returning; connections on the ground help open future countries.  13. You can contribute even if you're not ready to travel: share the mission, sponsor a volunteer, or connect HairAid to credible local partners.  14. Bringing a spouse or friend is welcome, non-stylists can help with admin, cross-checks, or allied community projects.  1 5. Big picture: teaching a skill changes a life, restores dignity, and builds community, while reminding us why this industry matters.

In the chaos of the helicopter evacuation from Saigon in April 1975, Doan Hoàng Curtis' sister was somehow left behind. It would haunt her family for years. Doan was just three years old when her family made it onto one of the last helicopters to leave Saigon as troops from the communist North took over the city and the Vietnam war came to an end. Her father was a major for the South Vietnamese air force and if he'd stayed in Saigon he could have been killed. Leaving Vietnam was an extraordinary moment for the family, but one that would have a deep and lasting impact on them, because somehow, in the turmoil of the evacuation, Doan's 17-year-old half-sister Van was left behind. It would take Van six years and a treacherous journey via Thailand before she could be reunited with her family, who ended up settling in the United States. Doan says the anger and confusion of why her sister was left behind has defined her whole life. Now an award-winning documentary filmmaker living in the US, Doan returned to Vietnam in 2005 with her family - including her sister Van - to make a documentary and confront the past. It's called Oh Saigon: A War in the family.News report of Fall of Saigon came from CBS news.Presenter: Mobeen Azhar Producer: June Christie Lives Less Ordinary is a podcast from the BBC World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world. Each episode a guest shares their most dramatic, moving, personal story.
