Third Man Syndrome is the well-documented but not-well-understood phenomenon that occurs when a person is in a life-threatening survival situation and feels as though there is an additional companion with them, offering guidance and comfort. Sometimes manifesting as an unseen presence, sometimes as a voice, and sometimes as a fully physical person, many survivors have credited this "third man" with saving their life.

Pastor Mando Vera was once known as “Monster”, a gang member caught in violence, addiction, and incarceration. Today, he returns to the same streets with a message of faith, forgiveness, and hope.In this episode of Third Man in the Ring, Popeye Ray sits down with someone he personally knew from the neighborhood. Mando opens up about growing up in an abusive home in Bassett, California, entering gang life at a young age, being shot and stabbed, battling drugs and alcohol, and reaching a point where he nearly lost his family and his life.Mondo also shares something many testimonies leave out: after first accepting Christ, he fell back into addiction. That relapse cost him his job, car, home, and almost everything that mattered to him. What he expected to be a few months in a Christian recovery home became two years of restoration, leadership, and preparation for ministry.Now an ordained minister, evangelist, and chaplain, Pastor Mando serves people in hospitals, jails, recovery homes, and neighborhoods that once considered him an enemy.#GangMemberToPastor #christiantestimony #testimony

In this July 19, 2026 talk recorded at his home, Grant Cameron traces his lifelong journey into the UFO mystery, beginning with a dramatic 1975 sighting in Manitoba that inspired decades of research. He explains how years of FOIA requests and searches through government archives—including Canada's Project Magnet files, Wilbert Smith's famous 1950 memo, and U.S. presidential libraries—ultimately convinced him that officials may possess evidence but still don't understand the phenomenon. Cameron argues that the real breakthrough lies in consciousness, ESP, downloads, intuition, and channeling rather than hardware and crash retrievals. He also describes how AI has been used to compare the messages of many channelers, revealing remarkable similarities that point toward a common source of information. This thought-provoking presentation challenges conventional assumptions and explores why consciousness may be the missing key to understanding the UFO phenomenon.Topics Covered• 1975 UFO sighting in Carmen, Manitoba• Wilbert Smith and Canada's Project Magnet• The 1950 Top Secret flying saucer memo• Searching presidential libraries for UFO evidence• Why governments don't understand the phenomenon• Consciousness and ESP in UFO encounters• The Third Man phenomenon• Downloads, intuition, and invention• AI analysis of channelers' messages• Why consciousness may be the key to the UFO mysteryGrant Cameron LINKShttps://www.youtube.com/@whitehouseufoWebsite: https://www.presidentialufo.org/Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/2iZhuwub4reWIYAaiiNIwoFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/GrantCameronWhitehouseUFO/https://www.facebook.com/presidentialufo

I Is Another marks Felix Randau's return to the Locarno Film Festival, where the film premieres in competition. Inspired by the true story of Felix Kersten, personal masseur to Heinrich Himmler, we discuss why Randau rejected a conventional hero narrative in favor of a morally ambiguous portrait, exploring the blurred line between truth, history, and the stories we choose to believe.We also discuss antiheroes, historical storytelling, filmmaking in Germany, and the films that shaped Felix's love of cinema, including The African Queen, Heat, The Third Man, and the work of John Huston, Michael Mann, François Truffaut, and Fritz Lang.At its core, our conversation is about resisting simple answers, embracing moral complexity, and recognizing that history is often shaped as much by storytelling as it is by fact.  What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

From prison, violent crime, and meth addiction to a life fully surrendered to Jesus Christ—Mark Gonzalez's testimony is proof that no one is beyond redemption.In this episode of Third Man in the Ring, Popeye Ray sits down with Mark Gonzalez, also known as Barber Mark, to hear the powerful story behind His Barbershop.Mark opens up about the childhood abuse and anger that shaped him, being arrested for assault and attempted murder at 16, spending years in and out of prison, and eventually becoming deeply addicted to meth. He knew Scripture, earned a degree in biblical studies, and even served as an usher at church—but behind the appearance, he was still getting high and committing crimes.Everything changed after the people he trusted arranged a brutal home invasion that nearly took his life. While recovering in the hospital, Mark says God called him to repent. That was the moment he stopped merely playing the part of a Christian and became truly born again.Today, Mark is approaching five years sober, owns His Barbershop in Redlands, and serves his church and community through prayer, Bible study, fellowship, and outreach. In his own words, he once deserved to be in prison because of the monster he had become—but Jesus changed his life.If Mark's testimony encourages you, share this episode with someone who needs hope and subscribe to Third Man in the Ring for more powerful stories of faith, redemption, and transformation.This episode includes candid discussion of childhood sexual abuse, drug addiction, violence, and incarceration.#ChristianTestimony #JesusChangesLives #ThirdManInTheRing

“It's like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas.” — Ricardo Semler on why bosses won't let their workers vote on them Ricardo Semler might be the most anti-boss boss in the history of corporate bosses. Thrown into his Austrian immigrant father's São Paulo manufacturing firm at seventeen, the young Brazilian ripped up the rulebook — no dress codes, no time clocks, a ten-page cartoon manual instead of HR — and grew the company from 110 employees to more than 5,000. In the mid-Eighties he was already inventing hybrid work, shipping Telex machines to his workers' homes. One of them even squeezed one of these 150-pound machines into his bathroom. Now, in his upcoming e-book The End of the Boss, the author of the iconoclastic autobiography Maverick argues that the corporate pyramid — an inheritance, he says, from West Point via the railroads — is as dead as a cuckoo bird (as the Swiss would say). Nothing good has been done with it since World War Two. Not in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, his native Brazil, and certainly not in corporate America where Elon Musk's current pay package equals the wages of all his employees for the next five years. Semler's alternative is disarmingly simple: groups of ten who validate their leader every six months. Fail the vote and you're not fired — you go back to being one of the nine. His Netherlands-based consultancy has brought versions of the idea to 208 companies, including the giant Dutch bank ABN AMRO, which agreed to do away with 399 branch managers. So why don't more bosses follow? Because, says Semler, asking executives to be elected from below is like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas. Even the self-styled “fearless” Elon Musk would be terrified to end up as the roasted centerpiece of the Xmas table. That same maverick idea (his first ex-wife joked he's only ever had one) runs through everything Semler has ever proposed — from the rotating district presidents of São Paulo, to the untethered MBA whose cohorts hire their own professors, to the schools that grade Call of Duty and map it to the curriculum. Switzerland, he points out, has been governed by seven rotating nobodies since the fourteenth century. No, The Third Man's Harry Lime was wrong. Rather than the cuckoo clock, it's this anti-boss invention which explains Switzerland's five hundred years of democracy and peace. Five Takeaways •       The Pyramid Came from West Point — and It's Dead. The corporate hierarchy, Semler argues, is a military inheritance that reached business from West Point via the railroads — and nothing good has been done with it since World War Two, from Korea to Vietnam to Afghanistan. The numbers agree: the average company's lifespan on the stock market has collapsed from 61 years to 21, which makes the classical pyramid, not self-management, the biggest gamble of all. Jack Welch's GE is a shadow because he prepared it for nothing except Jack Welch. And when one Alexander Wang is valued like 20,000 engineers, or a CEO's package equals five years of everyone's wages, something structural is wrong.•       Turkeys Voting for Christmas. Semler's system is cells of ten that choose or validate their leader by anonymous survey every six months. Fail the vote and you aren't fired — you return to being one of the nine. His consultancy has brought the idea to 208 companies, including ABN AMRO, which agreed to eliminate 399 branch managers. The reason it doesn't spread is not that it doesn't work; it's that nobody at the top wants it — turkeys don't vote for Christmas, and Bezos, Musk, and Zuckerberg would be terrified of their employees deciding whether they keep their jobs. His model is Switzerland: seven rotating councilors nobody can name, working out fine since the fourteenth century. The alternative ends, sooner or later, in Kim Jong Un.•       Cycles, Not Failures. “Until death do us part,” Semler says, is about the silliest question anybody could ask. His own eighteen-year marriage with three children wasn't a failure — it was a cycle that ended, ten beautiful years out of eleven. Children born today will live to 100 or 110, with time for three full careers and still a retirement, so asking a seventeen-year-old what they want to be for the rest of their life is the wrong question. His daily metric is simpler: was today a valid day — like getting your parking ticket validated — or a dues day? When the dues days outnumber the valid ones week after week, the marriage or the job is already finished, whether you admit it or not.•       The Untethered MBA. Semler taught MBAs at MIT and spent four years at Harvard Law School, so he knows exactly what he's calling outmoded, outdated, and obsolete. His replacement: cohorts of ten who work through a dashboard curriculum at their own pace, study the case of the day rather than decade-old case studies — is SpaceX worth a trillion dollars, or nothing? — and spend credits to summon former CFOs or Stanford professors on demand. The same logic runs his schools, which grade TikTok and Call of Duty and map them to the curriculum. The smartphone panic, he says, is mostly nostalgia: what the screens are ruining is your ability to memorize the periodic table.•       AI Is Electricity — and He's Losing the Argument. AI, Semler says, is irrelevant the way electricity is irrelevant: a tide rising for every boat, pointless to oppose and impossible to live without. He runs everything through four LLMs — “there's nothing left of slop or hallucination at the end of that” — and confesses that when he tells his AI to push back, he now has trouble keeping up intellectually, which wasn't true a year ago. His hope is that we don't become “domesticated pets” over the next fifteen years. The deeper obstacle to everything, though, remains human: the cattle aspect of fear. There is no Trump and no Putin, he says — there is thirty percent of the population willing to support them, and one person who understands what populism can do. About the Guest Ricardo Semler is the chairman and majority owner of Semco Partners, the São Paulo company he took over from his father at 21 and transformed into the world's most famous experiment in industrial democracy. His book Maverick: The Success Story Behind the World's Most Unusual Workplace (1993) was an international bestseller published in sixteen languages; The Seven-Day Weekend followed in 2003. He is the founder of the Lumiar schools and the Ralston Semler Foundation, has taught at MIT's Sloan School and Harvard Law School, and his TED talks have been viewed millions of times. His new e-book is The End of the Boss (endoftheboss.org, 2026). References: •       The End of the Boss by Ricardo Semler (2026) — the e-book, and its “Round Pyramid” alternative: self-managing cells of ten with leaders validated from below.•       Maverick: The Success Story Behind the World's Most Unusual Workplace by Ricardo Semler — the million-copy classic whose Brazilian predecessor, Turning the Tables, was rejec...

The Minions have gone to Hollywood, and Dan and Simon have gone along with them. This week the pair dig into Minions & Monsters, Illumination's Old Hollywood monster movie caper that's stuffed with references to Metropolis, Casablanca, and the golden age of cinema.

And does it matter when it's this fun?Also this week, Dan reviews Larry David's HBO sketch series Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, and looks back at Jaws, The Third Man, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

A classic and an absolute must for cineasts is the British production “The Third Man” (1949). It is one of the most influential movies of post-war film noir. With its exraordinary camera work, memorable zither music and a captivating plot, “The Third Man” is still considered the best film of all time. - Ein Klassiker und absolutes Muss für Cineasten und solche, die es noch werden möchten, ist die britische Produktion "The Third Man" (Der Dritte Mann) aus dem Jahr 1949. Kaum ein anderer Film war so prägend für das Genre des Film Noir der Nachkriegszeit. Mit seiner besonderen Kameraführung, einprägenden Zithermusik und einem fesselnden Plot gilt "Der Dritte Mann" auch heute noch als bester Film aller Zeiten. Und auch die Stadt Wien spielt mit ihren Kriegswunden eine Hauptrolle.

This week we're talking Kelley Stoltz, who has been making amazing DIY pop out of San Francisco for over 25 years for such labels as Sub Pop, Third Man and John Dwyer's Castle Face. His latest is If You Don't Know Me, Buy Now! and is his first of possibly three albums out this year. In addition to his own music, Kelley also spent time as an auxiliary member of Echo & The Bunnymen and Robyn Hitchcock's band, and also produces other artists' albums (Sonny and The Sunsets, Thee Oh Sees).   We talked about how his new album works could work as an entry point for the uninitiated, and how he thinks he's only truly found his own sound in the last decade. We also talked about his time living in New York City in the '90s where one of his jobs was sorting Jeff Buckley's fan mail, his path to home recording, the unique sounds of the Ebow, how he went from being a Echo & The Bunnymen superfan -- who had his own tribute band that include Pavement's Spiral Stairs -- to being an actual member of the Bunnymen, and how he ended up playing in Robyn Hitchcock's band. Plus: five records he thinks everyone should own and lots more.

Today's episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the Regent Street Cinema in London: David talks to the writer and broadcaster Misha Glenny about Carol Reed's 1949 masterpiece The Third Man, written by Graham Greene and featuring a notorious film-stealing performance from Orson Welles. It's a film about friendship and betrayal, double-crosses and double lives, divided loyalties and dubious moralities. It is also all about Vienna, a city with a double life of its own. Everyone involved in this film had something to hide: the question is, what? Join us on Wednesday 20th May at the Regent Street Cinema in London for the next film in our spring and summer season: a screening of George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck followed by a live podcast recording with David and writer and broadcaster Helen Lewis.

Hundreds of survivors across a century — climbers, sailors, divers, soldiers — report the same thing. At the moment they were about to die, a calm presence appeared beside them. It gave directions. It knew the way out. It disappeared the moment the danger passed. A neuroscientist built a machine that can summon something like it. But what his subjects experienced and what survivors describe are not the same thing. The cases are real. The pattern is undeniable. What the presence actually is — that part is still open.

Will and Craig discuss new releases by The Twilight Sad, Deary, and Hedge Burners, plus Craig's impressive lineup of live reports, bonus songs, and more.

He grew up in gang culture…believed he would die in the streets…and was proud of it. Today, his life looks completely different. In this episode of Third Man in the Ring, Popeye Ray sits down with Jay to talk about a life most people will never understand. From violence, jail, and losing friends… to finding purpose, faith, and a new direction. This isn't just a story about where he came from, it's about what changed, and why it matters.

This week, I'm sharing another of my favorite movies - Carol Reed's classic noir drama set on the streets of postwar Vienna The Third Man. Orson Welles makes one of his most memorable screen appearances as the charming rogue Harry Lime, and Joseph Cotten is Holly Martins, Lime's friend who struggles to face the truth about his pal's criminal nature. We'll hear the two stars in Suspense shows - Welles in "The Dark Tower" (originally aired on CBS on May 4, 1944) and Cotten in "Fly By Night" (originally aired on CBS on September 28, 1950). Then, Cotten recreates his film role in a Lux Radio Theatre presentation (originally aired on CBS on April 9, 1951), and finally Welles stars again as Lime in an episode of the radio series The Lives of Harry Lime - "Clay Pigeon."
