Dave celebrates the show's unofficial 600th Friday episode from the increasingly unreliable Dopey studio at his father's house—and considers either dismantling the whole operation or hiring Ray as the new engineer.The episode begins with recovery anniversaries from the Dopey Nation. Mr. Jason celebrates one year sober and reflects on repeatedly returning after relapse, while Haley marks five years free from drugs after beginning at age 12. Hippie Earl delivers a classic Dopey voicemail about shooting heroin for the first time after having his wisdom teeth removed, mixing it with Percocet, Klonopin and alcohol, destroying his car and waking up with no memory of being arrested. Seventeen years later, he is celebrating a year completely sober.Dave also launches the latest Dopey versus Phish beef, announces that Hamilton Morris is officially coming to DopeyCon, discusses the DopeyCon theme-song challenge and reads listener reactions to last week's Jeff Garlin interview—including stories about food addiction, recovery and Dave's allegedly improved listening skills.Then Dave sits down with Garrett McClendon for one of the wildest and most complete meth stories ever told on Dopey.Garrett grew up in California's Antelope Valley with a mother addicted to methamphetamine. By his early teens, he was smoking and selling speed, dropping out of school and getting high alongside his mother. Together, they stole three enormous pigs, loaded them into Garrett's 1977 Toyota Celica and sold them at auction—only for his mother to short him on his share of the money.From there, Garrett's life descends into stolen cars, homemade meth pipes, purple crank, mobile meth labs, prison riots and increasingly elaborate criminal schemes. He trades half a gram of meth for a Toyota, steals an enormous boulder for a drug connection, receives 168 traffic tickets and eventually organizes drug drops into prison using runners, duffel bags, trash cans and body-cavity “plugs.”In prison, Garrett injects meth for the first time. Once released, he combines meth and heroin in goofball shots and becomes trapped in a cycle of addiction, homelessness, incarceration and treatment. Everything finally begins to change when his friend Levi—nine months sober—embraces him inside a treatment facility and tells him, “I really hope you stay.”Garrett did stay. Thirteen years later, he has rebuilt his relationships, established a career in construction, helped create Mindset Recovery and become the present father his daughter always deserved. His story culminates in an emotional moment when his daughter asks him to continue their tradition and buy the dress she will wear to her college graduation.It's an outrageous, cinematic and ultimately beautiful episode about addiction, belonging, incarceration, fatherhood, service and the possibility of building an entirely new life.All that and much ore on this brand spanking new episode of the good old dopey show!

Most of us pray about money. Very few of us ask God what to do with it and then sit still long enough to hear an answer. This is Part 2 of our conversation with our friend Bryan, a business owner and honestly a spiritual mentor in a lot of ways. In Part 1 he showed us how a money idol hides in a phrase you say every day. This time he shows us the other side: what it actually looks like to hear God about a money decision, and what God tends to deal with before He builds anything. In this conversation we get into the exact ten-minute practice Bryan's whole team uses to ask God what to do (a timer, a notebook, and four things to write down), what came out of it the first time twelve people tried it, why he believes everyone in the room hears something, why "you need $250,000 to do this" is usually money holding you hostage, the stuff in the basement God insists on dealing with first, why you should not rush to be a teacher, the million-dollar cabin God told them to buy with money they did not have, and the question Bryan can't shake: how many spots have I not been in because I didn't listen? Nothing here is a formula. It's a practice, it happens in community, and Bryan argues against his own decisions the whole way through. If you want a place to start, Linda and I wrote 30 Days of Prayer for Your Finances for exactly this: one short prayer a day to start asking God about your money instead of just worrying about it.

Most of us were handed one of two scripts: the "because I said so" dad with all structure and no warmth, or the gentle parent with all warmth and no structure. Both leave kids without what they actually need. Pat Barber spent 22 years as a CrossFit coach, won his region in 2011, and taught seminars on four continents. Then he turned that same method of relentless self-examination onto fatherhood. Thirteen years and four sons later, he runs The Fathers Guild, and this conversation lays out what he's learned.In this conversation, you'll learn:The four parenting quadrants (neglectful, permissive, authoritarian, authoritative) and why most dads bounce between the two extremes without realizing itWhy "gentle parenting" as most people practice it is actually permissive parenting, and what the research-backed version really looks likeWhy parenting tactics don't change long-term outcomes for kids, and the one thing that does: who you are and the environment you createThe real definition of a boundary: it's not what your kid can't do, it's what you will do when they do itThe $5 yelling challenge Pat used to break a lifelong pattern of reactivity in a single monthHow The Fathers Guild uses monthly challenges, weekly Monday Ledger check-ins, and scored accountability to help dads grow the way athletes doIf you're buried and don't know where to start: pick one thing, try it for a month, and get some men around you while you do it.Resources Mentioned:The Fathers Guild — https://thefathersguild.comJamie Glowacki (parenting educator, boundaries framework) — https://www.jamieglowacki.comThe Gottman Institute (repair after conflict) — https://www.gottman.comMen and Women of Discomfort (MWOD) — https://mwod.io Hearing the call?

**The Great Chicken Heist** Memphis. Jackson's sister city. Thirteen people caught behind a hotel on Lamar unloading pallets of chicken off an 18-wheeler. Quarter-million dollars of bird. Three guns on the scene. Felons in the mix. They tried to run. Task force bagged the whole crew. Clay and Creston did what this show does: mock it till it cries. That's a lot of chicken. Wings are already expensive. Thighs are through the roof. Somebody in that group thought a full reefer trailer was the ultimate caper and not one person said, “Bad idea.” Where were they going to keep it cold? Who was buying it out the back door? Clay's honest about it — stolen chicken for a restaurant is a health-code nightmare. Stolen chicken for a backyard barbecue is a different conversation. Stereotypes didn't walk onto that lot. Thirteen people did. The mugshots went on the screen. The jokes wrote themselves. Mock them till they cry, then make memes when they do. That's the Great Chicken Heist.

Last week we sealed the heart of the kāfir and stood at the mouth of the third category. This week we step into it. Of the three types of people in Part One — the muttaqīn (Ayāt 2–5), the kāfir (Ayāt 6–7), and the munāfiq (Ayāt 8–20) — the hypocrite is given the longest passage by far. Thirteen ayāt against four and two. It is worth asking why before we read a single word of them.1. Why the Hypocrite Takes the Longest PassageTwo reasons. First, there are different types and levels of hypocrite. Second, and more telling, the munāfiq is simply hard to define. The person of taqwā is clear — good within, good without. The kāfir is clear — bad within, bad without. But the hypocrite is neither here nor there: good on the surface, corrupt underneath, and forever shifting between the two. Ambiguity needs more words to pin down than clarity does.2. The Word Munāfiq: The Tunnel of the DabbThe word comes from nafaq — a tunnel. But the image turns on the difference between a burrow and a tunnel. A rabbit's burrow has one opening: one way in, one way out, a door the animal must stand and defend because it has no other. The dabb, the desert lizard, digs a tunnel with two openings. When danger comes from one end, it bolts out the other. It never has to commit to a position; it always keeps an escape route.That is the hypocrite exactly. When the Muslims are winning, he says, “We are with you — one of you.” When the tide turns toward the Quraysh, he slips out the far exit: “We are your friends; we've been helping you all along.” A bestie to both — though the word best can only ever have one.There is a fitting detail in how the Arabs still hunt the dabb. Because the tunnel has many mouths, it is never a one-man job. A group drives into the desert, finds the holes, and floods them with water from a hose. Not knowing which exit the animal will take, they watch every opening at once — and take it the moment it surfaces. The very feature meant to keep it safe is what exposes it. (A note in passing: the dabb is ḥalāl, though the Prophet ﷺ did not eat it himself, as it was unfamiliar to his people.)3. How the Hypocrites Came to BeWhen the Muslims made the Hijrah, they were not yet strong. In that first year Madīnah held three groups: the Muslims — some 300-plus men, perhaps close to a thousand souls with their families, in a city of six or seven thousand, a ruling minority; the Jews, in three tribes (the Qaynuqāʿ, the Naḍīr, and the Qurayẓah); and the pagans, still free to worship their idols. There were no Christians in Madīnah.Here a point of definition matters. When the moment of decision came, the pagans faced a choice the Jews did not — because being a Jew is a matter of ethnicity as well as religion. You can change your religion; you cannot change your lineage, any more than a Malay can decide to be Chinese. So the religious conversions that followed came from the pagans, whose religion put no such barrier in the way.The decisive moment was the Battle of Badr, in the second year of Hijrah. 313 Muslims, badly equipped — not all of them even had swords, and those they had were feeble, because they had never set out expecting war — faced roughly a thousand Quraysh, armed to the hilt, one of the largest armies Arabia had yet seen. And the Muslims won decisively; the leading men of Quraysh were killed. The politics of the peninsula turned in a day. Islam was here to stay.Badr is also a lesson in how planning and reliance on Allah fit together. The Muslims were aided by angels — but you do not put angels in your plan. You make du'ā for help and Allah sends it however He wills, but you prepare with the means actually in front of you. You cannot study three chapters of ten and expect an angel to whisper the rest in your ear during the exam. Do your utmost; then trust Him for what lies beyond your reach.After Badr, the pagans understood there was no future on the losing side, and no ethnic wall to shelter behind as the Jews had. Their only way to keep standing and influence was to profess Islam outwardly. For many, the profession was hollow — and this is the origin of the hypocrites. There were none in the first year of Hijrah; they appeared only in the second, once outward Islam became the price of relevance.4. The Leader of the Hypocrites: ʿAbdullāh ibn UbayyThe munāfiqūn had a head: ʿAbdullāh ibn Ubayy ibn Salūl. To understand him, return to pre-Islamic Madīnah, then called Yathrib — home to Arabs and Jews. The Arabs were two main tribes, the Aws and the Khazraj, locked in a feud that had run for decades and killed off the senior leaders on both sides. It was exhaustion with that un-winnable war that finally led them to invite the Prophet ﷺ from Makkah to lead them.Ibn Ubayy was the most senior figure left standing, and he had expected the leadership of Madīnah to fall to him by default. But the rival tribe would never accept a ruler drawn from the enemy they had fought for a generation — so the people reached past their own factions for a neutral leader, and invited the Prophet ﷺ. Ibn Ubayy was left jealous and bitter: the leadership was supposed to be mine. He and his followers stayed pagan at first, betting the Muslims would soon be gone. When Badr proved otherwise, he “accepted” Islam with his tongue while nursing the grievance in his heart — and so led the hypocrites, later feeding the weak points of Madīnah to the Quraysh, telling each side what it wanted to hear.5. Ayah 8 — “We believe” (but they do not)وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَمَا هُم بِمُؤْمِنِينَWa mina al-nāsi man yaqūlu āmannā billāhi wa bil-yawmi al-ākhiri wa mā hum bi-mu'minīn.“And among the people are those who say, ‘We believe in Allah and in the Last Day,' but they are not believers.”Walking the words: wa — and; min al-nās — among the people; man yaqūlu — those who say; āmannā billāhi wa bil-yawmi al-ākhir — we believe in Allah and the Last Day; wa mā hum bi-mu'minīn — but they are not believers. They claim faith in Allah and the Hereafter, and Allah Himself overturns the claim: they never had īmān at all. The mouth says one thing; the heart holds another.From this comes a principle worth carrying. The Prophet ﷺ and many companions knew the hypocrites — Jibrīl named them through revelation — yet Ibn Ubayy was never punished for his hypocrisy. Because we judge people by their outward actions, not their intentions. Intention is known to Allah alone; it is a matter between a person and their Lord. The Prophet ﷺ had revelation; we do not. So the lesson is a careful balance: take people at face value — do not accuse, do not presume to read hearts — but stay discerning. Where the signs of untrustworthiness are clear, you guard yourself accordingly, without ever making an accusation about what lies inside another person.6. Ayah 9 — The Deception That Reboundsيُخَـٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَYukhādiʿūna Allāha wa alladhīna āmanū, wa mā yakhdaʿūna illā anfusahum wa mā yashʿurūn.“They think to deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive none but themselves — and they perceive it not.”They imagine they can slip their disbelief past Allah — that He does not see the pretence — and past the believers with Him. But the deception lands on no one but themselves; they are the ones who end at the losing end. And the closing phrase, wa mā yashʿurūn — “they do not even perceive it” — is the sharpest edge of the ayah: the trap has closed on them, and they cannot even feel it.7. Ayah 10 — The Disease of the Heartفِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مَرَضًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْذِبُونَFī qulūbihim maraḍun fa-zādahumu Allāhu maraḍā, wa lahum ʿadhābun alīmun bimā kānū yakdhibūn.“In their hearts is a disease, so Allah has increased their disease; and for them is a painful punishment for the lies they used to tell.”Allah names hypocrisy a disease (maraḍ) of the heart — and rather than cure it, He increases it. A quick distinction of terms: nifāq is the hypocrisy; munāfiq is the hypocrite himself. For them is ʿadhāb alīm, a painful punishment, earned by their persistent lying.The word alīm carries more than the translation shows, and it turns on pronunciation. ʿAlīm, opened with an ʿayn, means “most knowledgeable.” Alīm, opened with a hamzah, means “painful.” The whole meaning rides on that first letter — which is why precise recitation (makhraj) is a necessity, not a refinement.The root of pain is alam; alīm is its intensified form. That extra yā' — the -īm pattern — is a form of hyperbole: not exaggeration in the sense of something untrue, but intensification to the extreme. It is the same pattern as Ar-Raḥīm, which is not merely “merciful” but extremely merciful. So alīm is not just pain, but pain at its utmost.And the pattern carries a second dimension: it is continuously increasing. A punishment that does not merely hurt but keeps growing worse. The reason Allah frames it this way cuts against something we know from experience — in this world, pain eases as we grow used to it. The first time you stretch into the splits it feels like torture; do it daily and the body adjusts until it is nothing. Walk fifteen kilometres in forty-degree heat with long stretches of no shade, and the five-minute walk to the masjid the next day feels like nothing at all. We adapt. The punishment of Jahannam is built so that no one ever adapts: each time the person thinks “I can bear this now,” it deepens; “I think I've adjusted,” and it deepens again — continuous, escalating, with no floor to settle onto.The same -īm pattern, turned toward mercy, gives Ar-Raḥīm — and here the contrast is worth holding. Ar-Raḥmān is the mercy Allah extends to everyone in this world; Ar-Raḥīm is the mercy reserved for the believers in Jannah. And like alīm, it is ever-increasing, but toward the good. In this world even what we love grows stale; we get used to it and it becomes the new normal. In Jannah the delight only ever improves — better, and better, and better, without end.8. ʿAẓīm vs Alīm: Whose Punishment Is Worse?Set the two endings side by side. Ayah 7, of the kāfir, closes: wa lahum ʿadhābun ʿaẓīm— “a great punishment.” Ayah 10, of the munāfiq, closes: wa lahum ʿadhābun alīm — “a painful punishment.” Note that ʿaẓīm, “great,” is a neutral intensifier: one can be greatly foolish or greatly brilliant. It magnifies without saying good or bad.So whose is worse? On the strength of the language, the munāfiq's. ʿAẓīm describes a punishment that is great; alīm describes one that is painful and continuously increasing. The hypocrite's does not merely match the disbeliever's in scale — it deepens without end. And fittingly so: the hypocrite knew the truth, professed it with his tongue, and betrayed it in his heart.Next week, in shā' Allāh, we continue into the hypocrites' passage — and our quiz will cover up to Ayah 10, including the characteristics of the People of Taqwā and the definitions of the kāfir, so keep them memorized.

Thirteen essays and stories that explore the what, why and how of of the most powerful force known to man--the power of self-transformation

No United game this weekend, so it's time to ask the question we're still struggling to answer six league games into the season…Are we actually any good?Thirteen summer signings. Five points from six Premiership games. Six goals scored. Heavy defeats, promising performances, one brilliant afternoon at Rugby Park and a team that still feels like it's trying to work out exactly what it wants to be.Ronny and Paul take stock of the season so far.Also on this week's episode:

"One parent becomes the good parent, and one parent becomes the bad parent." That's how Shawna Leatherman describes the moment parental alienation actually begins, and it's almost never in a courtroom. It starts small: a "no more juice" overruled at bedtime, a rule at one house that quietly doesn't apply at the other. Thirteen years into her own experience with parental alienation, Shawna, who writes and speaks as "The Unseen Parent," walks through exactly how those tiny, seemingly insignificant moments compound into a full alienation pattern, and why almost nobody sees it happening until it's too late.In this conversation, Shawna and Lisa break down the mechanics of undermining, exclusive alliance, and what psychologist Dr. Amy Baker calls "poisonous messages" - the subtle signals that tell a child their other parent is unsafe, unloving, or unavailable. You'll hear how something as small as a sigh before answering the phone, or asking "are you okay?" a little too often, can quietly convince a child that one home isn't safe. This is a practical, pattern-recognition-focused conversation for any co-parent who suspects something is happening but can't quite name it yet.  WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✅ How undermining ("no, it's okay, you can have it") lays the groundwork for exclusive alliance ✅ The difference between the "enforcer" parent and the "rescuer" parent — and why it matters ✅ What it means to "minimize the other parent's authority," and how kids absorb it ✅ The "Three U's" framework: how poisonous messages paint a parent as unsafe, unloving, or unavailable ✅ Why the "are you okay?" phone call is one of the most common (and least recognized) forms of alienation ✅ The "eye shot" rule — why body language matters even when your child can't hear you ✅ Why most parents doing these things aren't fully aware of the damage they're causing ✅ How to start recognizing these patterns in your own co-parenting relationship before they compound  ABOUT SHAWNA LEATHERMAN: Shawna Leatherman is a mother, writer, and advocate who has lived through parental alienation for almost 13 years. She created "The Unseen Parent" as a resource and community for parents who feel isolated, unheard, and judged for an experience most people don't understand. She is the author of "The Unseen Parent: When Silence Hurts — Faith, Truth and Loving Through Parental Alienation," which draws on her own journal-writing as a form of therapy and offers a faith-rooted perspective on truth, forgiveness, and resilience. Shawna's work focuses on making alienation dynamics visible — not as a men-versus-women issue, but as a behavioral pattern that can happen to any parent, and one she believes needs to be discussed openly rather than in silence.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Sidey, Dan, Reegs and Cris take on Steven Soderbergh's Traffic, the Oscar-winning 2000 ensemble drama about the war on drugs, starring Michael Douglas, Benicio del Toro, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Don Cheadle, Luis Guzmán, Erika Christensen, Dennis Quaid and several thousand other people you recognise from better-lit rooms.The episode begins with Reegs back from France, a heroic return to walking football, a 6–2 win, snacks from Grand Marché, Rioja on the table and the usual sense that the podcast might be more structured if anyone genuinely wanted that. Recent viewing includes Dan on Early Man, Ted Lasso and Grown Ups, Reegs going deep into Reacher, Cris bringing a bit of cartel-adjacent homework energy, and Sidey watching Barry plus Netflix serial-killer thriller The Whisper Man, a film he enjoys until the last-minute ghost business turns up and starts knocking over the furniture.Before the main film, the dads count down Steven Soderbergh and Soderbergh-adjacent favourites. Cris explains how Benicio del Toro led him towards Traffic and Che, while the conversation takes in the myth and reality of Che Guevara, Soderbergh's habit of editing and shooting under pseudonyms, and the frankly annoying fact that he appears to have made several films since this paragraph began. The list includes Solaris, Contagion, Syriana, Logan Lucky, Erin Brockovich, Magic Mike, Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Thirteen, Haywire, Her, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Sidey's beloved Out of Sight, which he still considers a 10-out-of-10 film thanks to Clooney, J-Lo, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Keener, David Holmes and the sort of charm that should probably be illegal.Then it is time for Traffic, a film the dads remember as serious, long, colour-coded and very much trying to win awards, which, to be fair, it did. The review follows the film's interlocking stories: Javier Rodriguez trying to do good police work in Mexico while the system around him is already captured by cartel politics; DEA agents Montel Gordon and Ray Castro attempting to protect an informant long enough to bring down Carl Ayala; Helena Ayala discovering that being a wealthy pregnant society wife becomes much more complicated when your husband is dragged away by federal agents; and Robert Wakefield becoming America's new drug czar just as his own daughter Caroline falls into addiction.The dads dig into the film's bleak central point: the drug war is not really a war that can be won, because every apparent victory is also part of somebody else's business model. Sidey describes the film as showing where drugs come from, how they move, how people try to stop them, where demand lives and why the whole machine is so futile. Cris particularly likes the Mexico storyline and the way the film's colour palette helps you instantly know which world you are in, while Reegs connects the whole thing to the kind of institutional fatalism later explored in The Wire.A major talking point is the subtitle disaster. Dan and Sidey both watched versions where the Spanish sections were not properly translated, which is not ideal when huge parts of your Oscar-winning bilingual drama are in Spanish. Dan's version apparently just told him people were “speaking Spanish”, which he had already managed to work out by being awake. Reegs uses this as a chance to grumble, correctly, about the loss of physical media and the way streaming platforms can serve up broken versions of films without anyone seeming to care.The film itself gives the dads plenty to chew on: Benicio del Toro's quiet moral centre, the funfair arrest and “don't shoot the clown”, Luis Guzmán's excellent Ray Castro and his brutal car-bomb exit, Catherine Zeta-Jones going from shocked wife to ruthless operator, Dennis Quaid sniffing around the Ayala money, Caroline Wakefield's awful spiral, Michael Douglas having to confront the war on drugs happening in his own house, and Javier's beautifully modest final request for electricity so kids can play baseball at night.Verdicts are positive, but not breathless. Sidey thinks Traffic is extremely well made, handheld, fluid, serious and still strong, but also calls it a one-and-done rather than a film he would rush to revisit. Dan struggles more, partly because the missing subtitles kneecapped the experience and partly because the film is long, worthy and occasionally lost up its own arse; if forced to choose, he is watching Gladiator twice before watching Traffic twice. Cris is warmer on it, praising the acting, the structure, the Mexican material and the way the separate stories connect without turning into a neat crossover event.So the Bad Dads verdict lands somewhere between strong recommend and medium-well: a serious, grown-up Soderbergh drama about drugs, power, money, family and futility, admired more than loved, and improved enormously if your streaming service can manage the advanced technical feature known as subtitles.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Thirteen years ago, Rebecca called her own adoption consultant and asked if she wanted a business partner. "Call me back in about a year," she said. "I'm not quite ready." Ten minutes later, Rebecca called back: "Then I'm going to be your competitor. Will you help me?"She had no clients, no marketing plan, and a notebook full of business ideas she'd never once acted on. What she had was a newly adopted son, eight people already asking how she'd done it so fast, and a stubborn feeling that nobody should walk this road alone.This episode is a crossover from Behind the Scene with Teah — the business side of RG Adoption Consulting, out loud: what it actually took to build it, why every consultant on the team has to have lived the adoption process themselves, and the year Rebecca finally learned to charge what she's worth.In this episode, Teah Interviews me about: Why Rebecca almost didn't start her own business — she called her own consultant first and asked to be a partner, and got told "not yet"What she actually had going for her at the start: no clients, no marketing plan, a notebook of ideas she'd never acted on — versus a son, eight referrals, and a refusal to let people do this aloneHow she built the business nights and weekends around a fundraising job she was miserable in, then let herself get laid off so unemployment could bridge the gapThe pricing mistake she made for years, undercharging because she felt "not senior enough," and what changed after a coach told her to charge $10,000 for a package she was sure nobody would buyWhy every consultant on her team has personally adopted or gone through the process themselves, and the one experience working with a non-adoptive consultant that convinced her this had to be a hard ruleThe scariest hire she ever made, why her first real employee was paid on commission, and what finally, after 13 years, made her feel like she had the right team in placeHer advice to the version of herself just starting outA reminder from RG Adoption ConsultingIf you're seriously considering adoption, you don't have to figure this out alone.

August 20th, 2016. Kingston. Thirteen songs into the last set The Tragically Hip ever played, and 'Putting Down' made the cut.Track four on "Music @ Work" (2000), the second of two records Steve Berlin made with the boys, and the one that took home the 2001 Juno for Best Rock Album (per Wikipedia and Discogs, still owed a HipMuseum or This Is Our Life cross-check). It sits at 143 out of 169 on the TTHTop40 Countdown, a deep cut by that measure alone. Then the Facebook group poll came back and the ranking didn't survive contact with the room: like or love landing somewhere in the 80s or 90s percent, by the panel's own count. Justin's read: run the original poll again with a fan base twice the size it was when it ran, and 143 doesn't happen.It's a callback week too. This same song turned up at Historic Fort York on June 24th, 2006, four songs ahead of 'No Threat,' the track this show covered last week (per setlist.fm).The lyrics get worked over three different ways before anybody lands close to the same page. Indigenous reconciliation, read through "the documented indigenous" and "civilization flipped its desk." A career-long metaphor about writing itself, "paint and sketch" as the whole method. And a theory about the United State of Ricochet that might be about atomic particles, might be about Gord catching flack for something he said, might be neither. Nobody wins the argument. Everybody's a little bit right, which tracks for a Gord Downie lyric.WHAT ELSE IS IN HEREBreck's debut, and the two words he reaches for before anything else about the song: crispy and classic.The unsteeped teabag. What Breck gets called mid-episode, and why it sticks.A grade five teacher with an alarming approach to desk discipline, and the times tables it apparently taught for life.The case for Gord Sinclair's harmonies being the most underrated thing on the whole record. Justin makes it twice, unprompted.End of summer picks. Justin's answer is this song itself, which is the whole reason he's in the chair this week. Breck goes with 'Ahead By A Century'. Toots goes with 'Lake Fever', the track right before this one on the record."I feel this tune and I know all the words and I can sing all the words, but it doesn't mean that I understand them." Justin, more or less summing up the whole hour.Next week the wheel lands on 'Vaccination Scar,' from "In Between Evolution."THE PANELBreck from Reno. First time in the chair. A musician (formerly of Trouble Show) who hears the interplay between Paul and Rob before he hears anything else. Plays Sagebrush Sounds in Winnemucca, Nevada this month, put on by High Desert Habit, with new music of his own coming this fall.Toots from Whitby. Back again. A pro gigging drummer, twenty years alongside Matthew Holpe, with a sold-out barn show called September Songs on the 12th and a new project debuting October 30th, his 50th birthday, at Melanie Pringles in Whitby.Justin from Bridport, Vermont. Back again, and showed up having already decided this was his song of the summer before jD even asked the question. Announces Sprint Cars of New England at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and helps run the Vermont Motorsports Hall of Fame, which names its 2026 class in early October at the Milk Bowl, Thunder Road.GEDFEST TORONTO - SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17The Horseshoe Tavern, with Grace, 2.

Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to four murders in Ada County on July 2, 2025 — Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin — and gave up his right to appeal in the process. Thirteen months later, he filed a handwritten petition from jail claiming his own attorneys coerced that confession, promised prison conditions that never materialized, and buried evidence, including hair found in Ethan Chapin's hand that was excluded as Kohberger's but never DNA tested. The Goncalves family called him a narcissist. Prosecutors asked the judge to throw the petition out without a hearing. He refused. Judge Steven Hippler has scheduled a status conference for June 3, 2027, and a full evidentiary hearing for June 17. Here's what makes this case impossible to predict: the digital forensics expert Kohberger's own defense team hired, Sy Ray, went public and said investigators actually missed additional incriminating cellphone geolocation data placing Kohberger near the crime scene before the murders. Ray told reporters he's confident Kohberger would be convicted all over again — and that the death penalty should be restored. Meanwhile, two new attorneys have stepped into the case. Greg Rauch was appointed in August 2026 and hadn't read the file or spoken to his client yet. Jason Goldman told PEOPLE magazine the public shouldn't assume it knows this case, in a prosecution that's already cost Idaho taxpayers more than eight million dollars. What happens when Kohberger's former lawyers are sworn in to answer for all of it? Hashtags #BryanKohberger #SyRay #KohbergerTrial #IdahoMurders #EvidentiaryHearing #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #UniversityOfIdaho #JasonGoldman Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

**Shaun Yurtkuran and Creston Birch on the death penalty and DNA** Attorney Shaun Yurtkuran has put a man on death row. Thirteen years later he still thinks about it — not because he has a moral problem with “you kill, you get killed” when the proof is ironclad, but because of how the system actually works. It does not deter the people on the street. They know what the cops do. They do not know what the courthouse does. It is expensive. And Mississippi has already put innocent men on the row. Shaun walks through Kennedy Brewer and Levon Brooks — two Noxubee County child-murder cases from the early '90s. One man sat on death row. DNA and a later confession freed both. The real killer was identified almost twenty years later. That is the part that scares him: human error before the science caught up. Creston Birch, thirty years in law enforcement, started in 1993 when DNA was barely a tool. He has watched it go from infancy to the thing that actually closes cases. He also knows what jurors think they are going to see. The CSI effect is real. In a hundred homicide cases you almost never have the gun. Fingerprints are rare. Shaun has one footprint match in his entire career — a kicked-in door at Trent Lott's house in Hinds County. Most of the time you still win with witnesses and the defendant's own mouth. They talk Baton Rouge in the '90s: three separate serial killers, a Millsaps student among the victims, suspects released because the lab could not yet do what it can do now. DNA would have stopped some of those murders. It still does not replace old-fashioned police work. It just makes the work honest. No moral grandstanding. No “just lock them up for life” slogans. Two men who have lived on opposite sides of the same cases explaining why the needle is easy to support in theory and hard to trust in practice.

A new secretary is assigned to observe a surgeon who believes he has discovered a method of proving the existence of the soul. Genre: Science Fiction, Mystery   Excerpt:"Here, you see?" the surgeon said, as he pointed with his scalpel. "At the nexus of the heart and the brain? Between the eyes and the throat, right at the back of the mouth, where the voice is on the verge of emerging?" That was where the soul resided.   The Wheel of Fiction Turns.

A woman seen from waist up, facing forward, tilted to the right, holding an open book before herself. Her right hand is poised over the book loosely holding a fountain pen. She's wearing a shirt, tie, aviator's coat, and glasses with round lenses that completely obscure her eyes, and reflect the silhouette of a woman in profile with her face and arms thrown back, her hair and clothing streaming backwards. A rainbow overlay of that same silhouette lies over the image. Watermark of "Storyfeather" along jacket opening at right.

At 1:15 p.m. on April 12, 1945, Franklin Roosevelt was sitting for a portrait at his cottage in Warm Springs, Georgia, when his face suddenly fell forward. He raised his left hand to his temple and whispered to his cousin Daisy: "I have a terrific pain in the back of my head." He was dead by 3:35. That evening, Harry Truman, a former farmer and failed haberdasher who had been vice president for eighty-two days and had met with Roosevelt only twice, placed his hand on a Bible and became the thirty-third president of the United States. He had never been briefed on the atomic bomb. Thirteen days later, War Secretary Henry Stimson handed him a three-page memo that began: "Within four months we shall in all probability have completed the most terrible weapon ever known in human history, one bomb of which could destroy a whole city." Today's guest is James M. Scott, author of Empire of Ashes: Truman, Hirohito, and the Descent into Total War. We discuss how a Hungarian physicist who did his thinking in the bathtub tracked down Einstein by asking a boy on a Long Island street corner to launch the Manhattan Project, why Oak Ridge, Tennessee, became a secret city of 75,000 people who had no idea what they were building, and how the firebombing of Tokyo killed 105,000 people in a single night months before the atomic bombs fell. We look at why Groves wanted to destroy Kyoto for its two thousand temples and Stimson stopped him because he had honeymooned there, how Japan's military leaders refused to surrender even after two atomic bombs and forced an unprecedented intervention by an emperor who had spent the war collecting marine specimens in a palace while his cities burned, and why a group of young officers assassinated the commander of the Imperial Guards and seized the palace on the eve of surrender in a coup that came within hours of succeeding. Scott argues that the historical record supports Truman's decision but lets the last word belong to the survivors, and to a war minister who committed seppuku wearing the white shirt the emperor had personally given him, with a photograph of his dead son folded on top of his dress uniform.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Four childhood friends pooled $30,000 in a Chicago apartment to make wet wipes for men. Everyone told them dudes would never use them. Thirteen years later, Dude Wipes does close to $220 million in retail sales, runs on a team of just over 20 people, and is Mark Cuban's best-ever Shark Tank investment. They bootstrapped almost the entire way, none of them had retail experience, and they built a nine-figure business in a category the legacy players weren't even watching. In this interview, Ryan Meegan breaks down how they carried a business to $40 million with just three people, the guerrilla news-jacking playbook that made Dude Wipes a worldwide Twitter trend for pennies, and why brand marketing they never tried to measure was the smartest bet they made. What you'll learn in this interview: • Why four founders with different skill sets and zero egos never clashed in 15 years • How they got their first national retail deal with Kroger through pure cold-calling hustle • The Shark Tank bidding war that landed Mark Cuban's check - and why he calls it his best investment • Why going viral and trending #3 worldwide on Twitter barely moved sales - and why they kept doing it anyway • The Isaiah Crowell NFL moment: how a $3,500 deal turned into ESPN, Howard Stern, and national press • The Amex float strategy: how putting every PO on a credit card funded growth without big raises • Why they refused the VC and Shopify-loan path most DTC brands take - and how they built bank credibility instead • The line-extension trap: why deodorant and body wash failed, and how Covid refocused them on flushable wipes • How three people ran the business to $40M before hiring 15 more • Why they took private equity from TSG while keeping control - and the billion-dollar goal behind it If you're bootstrapping a CPG brand, trying to build awareness without a war chest, or wrestling with whether to chase line extensions or go deeper in your core category, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about brand, capital efficiency, and staying in the game long enough to win.

There were thirteen United States — and to the rest of the world, there were thirteen nations. This is the story of what that cost. In 1785, pirates out of Algiers seized two American ships and enslaved their crews, and the United States could do nothing to free them: no navy, no money, no power to answer. In London, John Adams sought a commercial treaty with Britain and was quietly refused, because Britain had grasped the essential thing about the new republic — that a treaty with Congress bound nothing, since Congress could not make its own states keep it. And at home, those states taxed and undercut one another like the rival nations they had become, while the one power that might have given America leverage abroad — a national authority over commerce — stayed splintered thirteen ways. This is the episode where the case for a stronger government stops being a theory and becomes a bill coming due, written in closed ports, empty coffers, and the chains of American sailors their own country could not reach. George Washington saw it plainly: thirteen sovereignties pulling against each other would soon bring ruin on the whole.

Can your business run without you? This question is a bit of a two-parter.First there's the day-to-day. Your team, your SOPs, your business's ability to keep things moving whether you're there or not.Then there's the bigger picture. Quality control, vision for the future, the judgment calls nobody else can make for you. That's what this week's episode is all about.We're breaking down:Why revenue isn't the tell-all metric. The year Kira ran her business almost entirely without her, and what it cost long after the P&L still looked fine.The four things that stay yours, no matter what you delegate. What quality looks like going out the door, the relationship context living in your head, the "no list" you enforce without saying it out loud, and the escalation logic your team is guessing at.What getting laid off from her own COO job taught Kira about culture. Thirteen and a half years in, and how a right-hand person can quietly absorb the whole business without anyone deciding that on purpose.Season 3 runs on questions like this one.

What does a mother do when survival means making impossible choices? And what happens when a thirteen-year-old girl is forced to grow up in a world where childhood can disappear overnight? Pauline Steinhorn's new book, Dreaming of the River: A Mother and Daughter's Fight for Survival During the Holocaust, tells the extraordinary true story of her mother, Bronia Feldman, and grandmother, Hajuta. In September 1942, Bronia is torn away from her family and sent into the brutal forced-labor system of the HASAG munitions factory in occupied Poland. But instead of thinking only about her own survival, Bronia becomes part of an underground medical lifeline, finding ways to help other prisoners survive. Meanwhile, her husband and two young daughters have been left behind in the Skarzysko-Kamienna ghetto. Thirteen-year-old Hajuta is sent to a nearby labor site. When Bronia finds an opportunity to escape and reach her daughter, she faces an impossible choice: run into the forest and join the partisans—or return to the place she had just escaped. Months later, mother and daughter are reunited. But Hajuta is no longer the child Bronia remembers. Their ordeal will eventually take them to Bergen-Belsen, where they continue to survive through extraordinary courage, sabotage, daring escapes, near-death rescues, and unexpected acts of humanity. At the center of the story is the River Kamienna—the place where Bronia and Hajuta once danced, played music, and imagined a future. The river becomes more than a memory. It becomes a promise. Today, I'm joined by Pauline Steinhorn to talk about Dreaming of the River, the journals left behind by her mother and grandmother, and the extraordinary process of reconstructing a family's story of survival, resistance, love, and hope.

This week on the ScotsinUs, we bring to you "The Scots Who Founded the United States", a talk with Historian and Architect John Kinnear. This is the latest installment of our Scots Who Built New York legacy Project, and orginally took place live on May 13th, 2026 at the Arsenal. Thirteen signers of the Declaration of Independence were Scots or of Scottish Descent.We will explore the influences of Scots and Scottish Events which since the eleventh century inspired our Founding Fathers to create a democratic form of government.Scotland's history has been a struggle for independence for centuries. These events and the Scottish Enlightenment led to an understanding of what “Government by the People” should be. We will meet these Scots and witness their contributions to the founding of our country.

Nine women and three men walked into the deliberation room at Plymouth Superior Court. Three and a half hours on day one. No verdict. Five options on those slips — first-degree murder, second-degree, manslaughter, not criminally responsible, or not guilty.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski live as the jury deliberates. They disagree on this case and dig into what could happen next. Can nine women convict a mother in a postpartum psychosis case? Is manslaughter the jury's way out? What happens if they cannot reach a unanimous verdict?First-degree murder means life without parole. Not criminally responsible means commitment to a psychiatric facility with periodic reviews. The judge explained that even an NCR finding does not mean Clancy goes free — prosecutors can petition for commitment, and the person is evaluated periodically.Patrick Clancy's wrongful death lawsuit against Lindsay's providers is already filed. Thirteen medications from providers who never compared notes.Andrea Yates received the NCR verdict twenty years ago. She is still in a state hospital. Every mother watching this case is watching those nine women right now.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before We Dive InRecording this on August 26th, and I want to say clearly at the start: I am feeling a bit low. The eclipse energy has been personally challenging in a number of ways, and also — Dolly Parton and Tim Curry have both passed, within days of each other. Both around 80 years old. I loved them both, for very different reasons, and I find their passing sitting in me in that particular way that celebrity deaths sometimes do, when someone has been part of the landscape of your whole life.I'm telling you this because it's also very much the energy of this week. This is the come-down after eclipse season. If you're feeling deflated, that's appropriate. That's the astrology. The cards are honest about it — but they end in a place of genuine hope. If you're looking for that hopeful note right now, go and watch the September 10th Virgo New Moon video I just put up. That one has more light in it.This week: do your inner work. Go into the woods.

It's worth your time. I've listened twice and bought the hard copy.The Energy of This WeekWe come off the lunar eclipse on August 28th and begin to wane. The week opens with the Moon in Aries and ends with it in Cancer, waning all the while, heading toward the September 10th new moon. We are in the shedding phase.What makes this week distinctive — and why the message keeps being the same — is the sheer number of retrograde planets in Aries: Neptune, Manwë, Saturn, Pallas Athena, Eris, and Vesta, all moving backwards. When the Aries Moon moves through them, each conjunction or activation is saying: slow down. Go in. Revisit. Review. Do not charge forward. Aries likes action and speed; the retrogrades are applying the brakes.The overall prescription for this week: radical, extraordinary self-care. More than you normally would. The whole week is a churn of inner processing. Let it do its work.Three more things to note:Pluto is out of bounds until December 5th — as it will be for a few months around this time of year until 2035. Going out of bounds to the south, which Rosie Finn's book Persephone's Revolution associates with people rising up and more peaceful collective energy. We are in that window.Sedna stations retrograde this week (Thursday) — her 11,406-year orbit is so slow that her stations are gentler than most, but she's still asking: dig deeper into your perceptions and adaptations. She was last in Gemini at the end of the Great Ice Ages.Venus is entering the shadow of her retrograde — she hits 21°50' Libra at the start of the week, which is the point she'll return to when she stations direct on November 13th. Start paying attention now to what comes up around your values, your relationships, your sense of justice and beauty, your desires. Everything that surfaces in the next few weeks will have something to say when Venus goes retrograde in October.Only Venus, Mercury, and the Sun have passed the South Node and Regulus so far. Everyone else is still coming. Gradually, one by one.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot and the Witch Oracle: Two of Bees, Eight of Seeds reversed, Ten of Bees, and The Witch.Tension. Disengagement. Then: revelation. And then the Witch herself — the one in total control of herself — to close. More at the end.Day by DaySunday, August 30 — Moon in Aries. Slow Your Horses. Venus Enters Her Shadow.The Moon is freshly in Aries — and immediately hits all those retrograde planets. A sextile to Sedna (about to station), a sextile to Pluto activating the basket at 4°, then the Moon conjuncts Neptune — stop and smell the coffee. Tune in to your intuition. There is nothing to rush into right now. The Moon then sextiles Uranus — the aha question of this whole period: who am I in this new world we're building? That's worth sitting with.The Moon squares Ceres in Cancer — do your self-care. Take care of yourself first, and then you are able to care for and protect your loved ones. And squares Pholus — the lid is still coming off things.The Moon is being slowed at every turn. Neptune is particularly potent here: the retrograde Aries cluster, every one of them applying the brakes to the Aries Moon's natural preference for speed. Slow your horses. We are not at full speed ahead yet.The Moon conjuncts Pallas Athena (revisiting strategy and pattern recognition), then conjuncts Eris (tables turning, but within — going in to see what you need to overturn in your own life), then squares Juno (renegotiating contracts), sextiles Hekate (the torchbearer is saying: the path forward is through your inner truths), and finally conjuncts Vesta (inner flame — what are you devoted to, really?). Before the day closes, the Moon conjuncts Saturn — a hard stop. Reality check. Put the brakes on.Venus at 21°50' Libra directly opposes Pallas Athena retrograde — the strategist, the pattern-recognizer, looking keenly back at Venus. Slow down. Think through your relationships, your values, your sense of justice. See the patterns before you charge on. Venus is covering ground she will cover again during the retrograde. Pay attention to what surfaces.Black Moon Lilith makes a fire trine to Eris and Vesta, and sextiles Hekate — that inner feminine rage at injustice, in flowing conversation with the table-turners and the inner flame, with the way-shower lighting the path. And Mercury in Virgo trines Pholus — more information coming to light. More things being seen.Monday, August 31 — Saturn Squares Asteroid Lilith. Black Moon Lilith Enters Capricorn. Earth Grand Trine.Saturn at 13° Aries squares Asteroid Lilith in Cancer. Thirteen — the number of the goddess, the witch. Saturn in Aries retrograde is revisiting the rules, the structures, the identities we've been building. Asteroid Lilith — the talk-to-the-hand, we-were-created-equal, original divine feminine — is in the Moon's sign, looking around and asking: how are all our needs being met? How are outsiders' needs being met? It's a hard look, again, before we do anything more. Saturn can bring the “shoulds” — and this week: don't. It will still be there later.Black Moon Lilith reaches the end of Sagittarius and enters Capricorn — the sign of our institutions, structures, and the man-made rules we live under. And the moment she crosses into Capricorn, she trines Regulus at 0° Virgo and Chiron at 0° Taurus — an Earth Grand Trine. The exiled feminine energy, in flowing conversation with the Royal Star that now speaks of future stewards, and with the medicine man shining his light on wounds and healing.The way forward is this world. This experience. Being on this Earth, which is our home.Jupiter at 13° Leo trines Saturn at 13° Aries. Thirteen — the goddess number, the witch number, also a number of creation (Fibonacci, phi). This is the opening trine of the cycle that began at the Great Conjunction in December 2020 — Jupiter and Saturn at 0° Aquarius, the beginning of the Age of Air. Now Jupiter has moved into Leo and this is the first flowering of that seed. We have to change these man-made rules that are not in alignment with the natural laws of the universe. That's what this aspect is saying. In the number of the goddess, no less.The Moon in Aries moves through Pallas Athena (revisiting strategy), opposes Venus (emotions stirred around what Venus is covering in her pre-retrograde territory — feel it, don't push it away), conjuncts Eris (more inner table-turning), squares Juno, sextiles Hekate, conjuncts Vesta.Tuesday, September 1 — Moon Into Taurus. Mars Squares Saturn. Mercury Meets Circe. The Brakes.The Moon finishes its Aries passage by aspecting the Nodes (still at 29° until October 9th — eclipse energy still reverberating) before moving into Taurus at 4:01am Eastern. Immediately, the Moon conjuncts Chiron — the shaman, the medicine man, hands-on healing. Earth. Body. Values. The wound and the medicine.Venus at 23° Libra makes a lovely unbroken flow aspect to Chariklo in Aquarius — the cosmic doula, Chiron's consort, the grace-spinner, holding space for the new story we're weaving. I am here with you. I am helping you weave it.Then the aspect that defines the day: Mars in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries. Mars in Cancer is already uncomfortable — fire in water, drive dampened by sensitivity. And Saturn in Aries is retrograde, in Mars's own sign. One foot on the accelerator, one foot on the brake. Except this week: it is far more brake than accelerator.If you feel the shoulds pressing in — I should be doing this, I should be doing that — this week is not the time. What needs to be done will still be there after you've rested and gone in. The brakes are on for a reason.Mercury in Virgo meets Circe the Sorceress — Circe is also conjunct the upcoming Virgo New Moon, which feels intentional. Mercury saying: get into the details, go in and do some inner sorcery and magic. The craftsmanship here is interior. Mercury then sextiles Asteroid Lilith — she's in there too, having a very good look at what she's going to say no to. Not performing the no yet. Looking clearly.The Taurus Moon Earth-trines the Virgo Sun and Pholus at around 9-10° — a pull to earth, to the somatic, to the body, to roots. Get your bare feet on the ground. Do grounding meditations. Go into the woods. That's why I chose the Red Riding Hood image for this week — the feminine going into the woods, into the inner world, is the heroine's journey. Read those old fairy tales from a different lens.Wednesday, September 2 — Moon in Taurus. Everything Is Within.The Taurus Moon squares Jupiter at 13° Leo — the natural laws of the universe, in the sign of the heart, at the goddess number again. The pattern of all of these 13° aspects this week is unmistakable.Everything is pointing inward. Everything is saying: come into balance and harmony within your nervous system. These eclipses have been nerve-jangling. If you feel your nervous system a bit fried, that's both appropriate and fixable. You have the tools. Use them.The Moon sextiles Mars (still cooling its jets, heading toward Asteroid Lilith), and the Sun trines Black Moon Lilith — with Okyrhoe the seer joining that aspect. This is about uncovering your inner seer. Going to the depth within that knows things before the mind catches up. The inner oracle.Thursday, September 3 — Sedna Stations Retrograde. Moon Into Gemini. Basket Activated.The Taurus Moon makes an Earth trine to Juno — our sacred contracts with each other, held in the flowing earth energy that's been the backbone of this week. This Earth trine has been holding the whole week: pulling inward, pulling down to ground, pulling roots deeper.Sedna stations retrograde in Gemini. Her 11,406-year orbit means she was last in Gemini at the end of the Great Ice Ages. Her stations are slower-burning than closer-in planets, but this is still a turning point: dig deeper into your perceptions, your ideas, your words, your thinking. How do you need to shift? How do you need to adapt?Black Moon Lilith squares Saturn — now in his own sign Capricorn, pressing against the rules and structures of our institutions. More things being seen. More reality checks arriving. This is not the moment to rail at every little thing. It's the moment to take it in, to see clearly, to know what you're looking at before you act.The Taurus Moon reaches 27-29° — the Pleiades degrees. This may feel like a tender, even sad day. The Pleiades carry the grief of endings and the beauty of the in-between. With Dolly and Tim Curry's passing this week, and with so much being released in the collective, let yourself feel what's there. The Moon then squares Hekate, squares the Nodes, and begins moving toward the drain of the South Node.At 7:47am Eastern, the Moon enters Gemini and immediately meets Sedna — who just stationed retrograde, all that adapt-or-transform energy newly concentrated. The Moon then trines Pluto, sextiles Neptune, conjuncts Uranus — the basket, again. The cradle activated. The aha moment: something about letting go. Something about death and rebirth. Something about what's trying to move through.Mars is opposed by Black Moon Lilith at 2:44pm Eastern — a question not about action but about wisdom. Is the action we're taking coming from a wise place? Or are we just acting? Black Moon Lilith is a lunar point, not a physical body — she's the inner voice, the interior knowing. Are we using her wisdom to shape what we do?Friday, September 4 — Last Quarter Moon. Venus Opposes Eris. Inner Tables Turning.The Gemini Moon (out of bounds since late Wednesday or Thursday) squares the Sun — Last Quarter Moon at approximately 11:48am Eastern. Eleven: the master number, the gateway. What are we letting go of before we step through this doorway? Not one big doorway — a series of doorways. That's what this whole period is. Each week, another door. What are we releasing at this one?The Last Quarter Moon is always a crisis in consciousness — the moment of maximum tension before the letting go. In this context, coming off eclipse season, it's the inner churn before the new moon plant.Venus at 25° Libra opposes Eris — more inner tables to turn. Not out there, not yet. Going within, looking at strategy and patterns, recognizing what needs to be overturned within your own relating and your own values before you bring a new version of yourself to the world.The Moon sextiles Saturn (opportunity to let go of self-limiting beliefs, old rules we were taught to live by) and sextiles Jupiter (the curious Gemini Moon trying to make sense of it all through the lens of the natural laws).Mars meets Asteroid Lilith at 15° Cancer — the midpoint of the degree, the middle of Cancer. Mars will move ahead of her after this. But she is right there with him, saying: you are more of a protector and a guardian than you have been portrayed. Right now, at this moment — using the language of internal family systems — you are my inner protector. You are here to help me move within, do more self-care, love myself more. You are the guardian of my interior, not just the warrior taking on the external world.If your inner Mars is feeling frustrated and angry (Mars doesn't love Cancer), you can actually talk to that part of yourself: I know you're here to help me. Right now your job is to protect my inner work, not to attack everything out there.The Moon squares Mercury — information, details, adjustments, what you think. All of it inside.Venus squares Juno — we are rewriting the contracts. With each other, and with ourselves.Saturday, September 5 — Moon Into Cancer. Venus and Hekate. One Last Look at the Toxins.The Gemini Moon finishes its journey — way out of bounds — making last aspects to the retrograde planets in Aries: Pallas Athena, Eris, Vesta. Fire and air. What do I need to burn off? What ideas need to be released? What does the inner flame actually want? Intense, but passing.At 10:30am Eastern, the Moon enters Cancer — her own sign — and sextiles Chiron. The wound and the medicine. The shaman. What's the medicine I've become because of what I've been through?Venus makes a lovely unbroken flow aspect to Hekate — the way-shower, the torchbearer, the triple moon goddess at the crossroads. Venus and Hekate work together beautifully during Venus retrogrades (you'll experience this directly in the class), and this pre-retrograde aspect is a preview: pay attention to your inner voice about which paths to choose. Which direction through the woods of your inner self is being illuminated?The Cancer Moon trines Haumea — pure regeneration, the Hawaiian creatrix, the handle of the basket. She hasn't been aspected much this week, and here at the close she shows up to say: something new is being birthed from all of this. Something is regenerating. And the Moon squares Neptune — Haumea moving forward, Neptune moving back, an aspect of adjustment between the two Mars signs (Aries and Scorpio). We are moving into a more Venusian era. We cannot stay where we were.The last aspect of the week: one more look at the toxins, at what needs to be released, at what we've been carrying that belongs to the past. What more can I let go of to be a better ancestor? (If you want to go deeper on Nessus, there's a beautiful blog post from the Amalthea website — search “Amalthea Nessus” — and the author contributed to Sideways from Saturn, the book on the centaurs that I wrote the foreword for.)The Cards in DetailTwo of Bees (Swords) — I Am Tension:Proverbs: “Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.”This week suggests difficult choices and decisions. Your ideas and opinions may be questioned — by others and, perhaps more intensely, by yourself. You may feel mentally paralyzed as you try to navigate stress, uncertainty, and inner conflict.How do we move forward? Balance the tension of the opposites. Hold the tension of not knowing the outcome for a while. Clarity and a balanced view will make itself known. Positive choices and insightful decisions will arise from the centre of your being, once you've taken time to contemplate and listen to yourself before you act.And remember that quote when you speak to yourself this week: gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Including when you are talking inside your own head.Eight of Seeds (Pentacles), reversed — I Am Disengaged:Upright, the Eight of Seeds is productive, diligent, sowing and harvesting. Reversed this week: I feel disengaged. I feel like I've never done enough, like I'm not good enough. The inner perfectionist shows up.This is an Earth card, and its very reversal is the prescription: self-development and inner work. Not productive outer work. The shadow of Virgo — the perfectionism, the not-enoughness — can come through here. Let it be acknowledged and then gently set aside. You don't have to perform productivity right now.Ten of Bees (Swords) — I Am Revelation:Khalil Gibran: “For the bee, the flower is the fountain of life. For the flower, the bee is the messenger of love.”This is the card I was genuinely glad to see at the end of this challenging set. Here it is:We have tripped up and plummeted along the way, and now know what rock bottom feels like. It has challenged us. Self-pity, at times, has heightened our suffering.However, in reality, the rocks actually grounded us, and a relief and an understanding is starting to rise up within us. It is clear that we have been stung into waking up to some hard truths. Our ego may have been battered, and we may feel sore, vulnerable, as we reflect on what appear to be failures and endings that lie behind us.The good news is: the worst is over, for this week. The weight we have carried is finally lifting. We have survived, and our stings will heal. Our wings gently unfurl, and we start to ascend, breathing in the clear air, and dancing into a new beginning.By the end of the week, you will start to feel the call of the new moon. Not quite there yet. But coming.The Witch (Witch Oracle) — I Am Coordinating, Not Dominating:“Control. No woman alive today needs a dictionary to know what control means within a toxic patriarchy. She's experienced it a thousand different ways. It is domination and restraint.But in a balanced psyche and in a balanced culture, control can mean something else entirely.A witch experiences control through cooperation rather than competition. She is engaged with all the parts of her psyche in an attempt to coordinate rather than dominate.You are being asked right now to embrace all the inhabitants of your inner realm, because each deserves respect and a place at the table. Even the unruly, the inconvenient, the ugly. Making space for all under the banner of wild inclusion — giving voice to the shame, malice, and anger, as well as every other outlawed part of the psyche — is the way we create integrity.When your intent is to create rather than compete, you don't have to dominate. Your influence is enough. This is power with, rather than power over.Invite whatever is bothering you today into the realm of inclusion. Assert your inner authority.”Coordinate, don't dominate. Including inside yourself. This is the whole week. This is the whole work.Summing UpPost-eclipse. Waning. Brakes firmly on. The Aries retrogrades slowing everything down, saying not yet, not yet. The Earth Grand Trine pulling us down to roots and soil and body. The 13s showing up everywhere — the goddess number, the witch number — at Saturn and Jupiter and the Moon's aspects. Venus entering her pre-retrograde territory and asking us to start paying attention. Sedna stationing to dig deeper into how we adapt. The Last Quarter Moon at the gateway number, releasing before the new moon.The rocks grounded us. The wings are beginning to unfurl.Go into the woods. Slow your roll. Do the radical self-care. Talk to your inner Mars. Embrace all the inhabitants of your inner realm. And coordinate, don't dominate — inside and out.The new moon is coming on September 10th.

View inside the cabin of a car through the front passenger window. Foreground, a girl and a terrier sit in the front passenger seat, both facing forward and seen in three-quarters view. The girl, seen from shoulders up holds her left hand up to her lips. Her eyes are raised in a thoughtful expression. A braid falls over her right shoulder and seatbelt. She has a star sticker on her right cheek. She wears a headband with two antennae ending in balls with rings around them, like ringed planets. Her right hand, just visible is held against the chest of the terrier who has front paws propped against the window edge, and mouth open with tongue lolling out. A man, face in profile, sits in the driver's seat, both hands resting on the steering wheel. He looks at the girl and dog with a worried expression. Moon roof is open to a starry view of outer space. The driver's side window shows darkness with streaks of light. The middle panel between the seats shows glowing lights where the gear shift would be. Watermark of "Storyfeather" along side of the driver's seat.

Justin, Ryan, and (eventually) Matt are in the studio this week to bring you all the latest news in AI and Cloud, including a new local zone in Vegas, a 20th birthday, and some OAuth news thanks to Cloudflare.

Send us an email or hit us up on our Slack channel for more info. Follow Up 01:45 The August 17 outage, and the work ahead Update on GitHub’s August outages: root cause analysis published for the August 17 incident, which lasted nearly 8 hours and followed an earlier August 6 Actions failure. Root cause identified as a capacity failure, not a code or configuration change: a critical infrastructure component in the Central US data center failed to scale at a new traffic peak, triggering authentication failures and cascading disruption across services including Copilot, which was prolonged by a client-side retry loop. Since April, GitHub has added over 3 million CPU cores and 120 petabytes of storage, and accelerated Azure migration; Azure now handles approximately 58 percent of platform load and half of Git operations, up from 12 percent in May. Monthly commit volume has roughly doubled since April, from 1.4 billion to 2.9 billion, underscoring the scaling pressure behind both incidents and explaining, though not excusing, per GitHub, the repeated failures. Concrete remediation steps include consistent retry limits and budgets across service-to-service calls to prevent retry storms, a review of lower-priority CPU and memory alerts, and continued work isolating critical systems to reduce shared dependencies and blast radius. 03:07 Justin – “It felt a little ‘woe is me, capacity is a problem,' but it feels like more of the same lip service from them… maybe we need to rethink some core fundamentals of how Git works. Git was designed for humans… around human speed and human scale. ”  General News 14:03

Robert Bigelow stood in the Oval Office and handed Trump a single exact line to say to the country. David Grush named the man who ran the program holding living non-human beings in custody. Dick Cheney. Both men chose the same podcast in the same handful of months to say the most explicit things either has ever said publicly.Bigelow's meeting ran 75 to 90 minutes. Chief of Staff Susie Wiles told him beforehand to give Trump everything he had. Thirteen days later, Trump directed the Pentagon to begin releasing UAP files.Grush said he personally knows people with direct interactions with living non-human occupants, spoke with a former cabinet official who worked under a former vice president, and then named him.Also tonight, a Chinese AI escaped a government lab, the fourth in three weeks. Skinwalker Ranch pulled manufactured material from underground.Patreon: https://patreon.com/InfiniteRabbitHoleJeremy's Book: https://www.amazon.com/U-F-Elmwood-Cosmic-Puzzle/dp/B0GX1GBMZNYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteRabbitHolePodcastWebsite: https://InfiniteRabbitHole.com

Thirteen days from kickoff and Florida still doesn't have a quarterback. Dan, Nick, Jordan and Corry break down everything out of Saturday's second fall scrimmage, run through a loaded week in Gators sports — and then sit down with one of the greatest defensive linemen to ever wear orange and blue.

Welcome to The Other Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling, the ultimate late-night sanctuary for the Midnight Misfits. In this episode, we dive deep into the highly anticipated Lindsay Clancy verdict, analyzing the psychiatric overmedication defense, the "three ghosts" of legal precedent, and why TikTok sleuths have turned their sights on her husband's Apple Watch. But because it's Walter, we quickly pivot to the life-and-death rules of ordering too much mayonnaise at a Jewish deli, the sheer horror of motion-sensor lights at Aldi, and why you should never let a supermarket force you into self-bagging.Round out the hour with jaw-dropping stories from the road—including a trucker racing a parallel tornado while hauling horses on I-95 and a retired NYPD detective sifting through cremated ashes to solve a cold-case murder—along with Walter's bewildered musings on the sudden avalanche of erectile dysfunction commercials. It's chaotic, hilarious, and the best kind of late-night radio bullfight

Season Five ends the only way Glee knows how: with everyone making enormous life decisions, several timelines that absolutely do not add up, and Rachel Berry apparently deciding that the Broadway dream she has spent five seasons screaming about was actually just a side quest. This is 5x20, "The Untitled Rachel Berry Project."This episode, we break down:

Continuing our I Love the 90s series, we move on to 1994, the year a white Bronco led police across Los Angeles and Tonya Harding's camp clubbed Nancy Kerrigan's leg ahead of the Lillehammer Olympics. Don and Dude drop the needle on one stripped down country comeback and one guitar heavy alternative rock debut, connecting both records to a world of the World Cup landing on American soil, Friends premiering on NBC, and Woodstock '94 turning to mud in upstate New York.The AlbumsJohnny Cash – American Recordings (1994)After Columbia dropped him and his career went cold, Rick Rubin promised Cash total creative freedom and recorded him alone with just his acoustic guitar, moving from the murder ballad "Delia's Gone" through Nick Lowe's "The Beast in Me" and Glenn Danzig's "Thirteen" to Loudon Wainwright III's "The Man Who Couldn't Cry." The stark, one guitar sound won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album and launched a series of Rubin produced records that carried through the rest of Cash's life.Bush – Sixteen Stone (1994)Formed in London by Gavin Rossdale and Nigel Pulsford, Bush built their debut at Westside Studios with producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, filtering American grunge through Rossdale's love of the Pixies and David Bowie across singles like "Everything Zen," "Comedown," "Machinehead" and "Glycerine." Released in the U.S. in November 1994 and quickly compared to Nirvana, it became one of the best selling rock debuts of the decade.Diggin AlbumsNeurosis – An Undying Love for a Burning World (2026):The Oakland post metal band's first album in a decade, released as a surprise in March, adds Isis's Aaron Turner to the lineup and turns personal upheaval, isolation and climate despair into crushing, cathartic music across eight songs.Pearl Jam – Vitalogy (1994):Pearl Jam's third album trades the polished accessibility of Ten and Vs. for a more abrasive, experimental sound that balances hooks like "Corduroy" and "Better Man" against the band's growing discomfort with fame.Black Marble – Life in Small Spaces (2026):Chris Stewart's fifth Black Marble album, and his first full length since 2021's Fast Idol, is another entirely self written, performed and recorded entry in his long running synth and cold wave project.Neo Dimes – Alone (2026):Denver musician Stephen Edmunds's debut full length as Neo Dimes blends darkwave, industrial rock and synthpop textures born from becoming a father and losing his job at the same time, feeding an album focused on isolation, technology and grief.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I think maybe it's both." - Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks), Forrest Gump (1994).

UNHUSTLED starts next week. August 25, 26, and 27 at 11:00 am Central. I'm breaking down my entire mechanism, showing you all five patterns, and giving you the diagnostic so you can see exactly which one is running you and what to do about it. This is free right now. It becomes a paid masterclass going forward. Register here: https://go.shaminataylor.com/unhustled If your success has created more money but less freedom, is it actually working? I could have called this episode "why your work ethic is costing you your wealth," because that's what this really is. This one is for the hustler. The doer. The woman crushing her goals, checking off the list, winning constantly, and multitasking while she listens to this right now. I used to be her. Getting it all done was what ambition looked like to me. So let me be clear before we go further: I am never going to tell you to be less ambitious. We're not retiring your ambition. We're retiring the survival state you think you need in order to have the success. Because survival is not a business strategy. You didn't build your business to become an employee of it. If the only way it makes money is if you personally do the work, that's not a business, that's a job that owns you. And here's the part nobody says out loud: when you're already maxed out, you start subconsciously pushing money away. You can't imagine taking on more clients, because who would serve them? So you chase another strategy, another lead gen play, another sales tweak, and none of it moves, because the cap isn't in the strategy. It's in you. Four signs you're running on hustle: Your revenue grows, but your responsibility grows faster You hired a team, but everything still lands back on you Taking time off creates anxiety instead of freedom You've made more money, but slowing down still doesn't feel safe Then I break down The Power Pattern™, my trademarked process. Your pattern is the lens you see the world through, and it shapes every decision you make. The Controller takes the work back instead of delegating. The Prover works harder to earn the next level. The Pusher adds another offer, another hour, and never stops. The Pleaser overdelivers and undercharges. And the Protector delays the very move that would make her more visible, more known, more powerful. I also go deeper on my client Heather. Thirteen years running her cleaning company, a Cornell graduate, and still cleaning houses herself six years ago. Her months since she started the work: $146,000. Then $167,000. Then $191,000. July closed at $213,000. She restructured her leadership, released team members she'd been carrying, and took eleven days off without worrying about her business, something she says she has never done in her life. UNHUSTLED isn't becoming passive. It isn't lowering your standards, losing your ambition, ignoring strategy, or sitting in a bubble bath waiting for money. It's refusing to use pressure, control, proving, over-functioning, and nervous system overload as your growth strategy.

Thirteen-year-old Madeline Soto vanished the morning after her birthday, and the man she called her “bonus dad” claimed he had dropped her off near school. But as detectives retraced her final hours, surveillance footage, a missing phone history, and a story that kept changing began pointing somewhere far closer to home.

Thirteen years in business. Nearly 700 wholesale accounts. And the biggest shift Rachel O'Neill of Loftipop made this year was admitting her wholesale business was being run like a D2C channel.If you started in direct-to-consumer and layered wholesale on top, this episode will feel familiar. Rachel came into Paper Camp with a thriving business at Loftipop and left with major enhancements: separate pricing logic, a leaner product line, and a strategy built around the retailers she already has.In this episode, you'll learn:Why wholesale is not an extension of your D2C business — it's a separate model with its own pricing, margins, and rulesHow Loftipop added 60 accounts in the 6 months after Paper Camp, growing from 690 to about 750Why Rachel discontinued SKUs that were still selling — and why she felt "so much lighter" afterwardHow to run channel-by-channel margin math before keeping a product in your wholesale catalogWhat it looks like to nurture current retailers — email outreach, direct mail, and consistent touchpoints — instead of only chasing new accountsHow staying open to change, 13 years in, became the shift that moved her whole business forwardFrom the episode:"The biggest takeaway is that your wholesale business is not D2C. We came into wholesale thinking it was just an extension of our D2C... it's actually a whole separate business model and strategy." — Rachel O'Neill"If you're serious about wholesale, it's 100% worth the investment. In terms of numbers, we've already made our money back and more." — Rachel O'NeillPaper Camp is currently open for enrollment, which only happens twice a year!SIGN UP FOR PAPER CAMP NOWYou can view full show notes and more at http://prooftoproduct.com/456Quick Links:Free Wholesale Audio SeriesFree Resources LibraryFree Email Marketing for Product MakersPTP LABSPaper CampMentioned in this episode:Paper Camp is now open for enrollment!Enroll now in our next round of Paper Camp: http://prooftoproduct.com/papercamp

Men on X are posting that Lindsay Clancy should be tortured. Women on Threads have built a theory that Patrick Clancy is a covert narcissist who convinced Lindsay she was mentally ill. Both the prosecution and the defense say Lindsay killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan. Neither online camp has engaged with that.The men skip past the illness entirely. Thirteen medications, a Seroquel spiral, providers who allegedly never coordinated care — none of it registers. The women skip past the act. Command hallucinations, a defense concession, Patrick's own testimony describing a wife who got sick — none of it fits the narrative they've built.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to explain why each side lands where it does. She identifies a pattern among the women defending Lindsay — a significant number identify as survivors of narcissistic relationships, and they've mapped their own experience onto Patrick and Lindsay. Fighting for Lindsay feels like the fight they never had. Shavaun explains what happens when your own wound becomes the lens you see every story through, and whether you can tell the difference between projection and perception once the pattern locks in.She also covers why the men's punishment impulse bypasses evidence by design — because engaging with the complexity would collapse the certainty that makes the rage feel good.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, discuss why men and women are experiencing two completely different Lindsay Clancy trials.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, I'm reflecting on the biggest lessons I've learned after 10 years of coaching and supporting single mums through separation, divorce, and rebuilding their lives. While every woman's journey is unique, certain patterns, insights, and truths have come up time and time again. These lessons don't come from a textbook; they come from real conversations I've had, lived experiences, and walking alongside hundreds of women through some of the hardest chapters of their lives. Whether you're at the beginning of your journey or well into creating your next chapter, I hope these reflections encourage, reassure, and inspire you.

Lindsay Clancy messaged her providers almost every day, begging them to change what wasn't working. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to break down a defense case built less on a single moment and more on months of documented desperation. Thirteen psychiatric medications. Daily messages asking for adjustments. Journal entries describing intrusive thoughts and brain fog in the weeks before her children died. Not one provider diagnosed postpartum psychosis before that day — every doctor and nurse practitioner who saw her documented anxiety and depression instead. The psychosis diagnosis came later, from a forensic psychiatrist retained by the defense, a timing detail Faddis says both sides know matters more than almost anything else in the record. Faddis explains why Kevin Reddington has spent three weeks dismantling the providers who treated Lindsay, including her psychiatrist, who admitted under cross-examination that she never once met Lindsay in person across fourteen telehealth sessions, didn't have her complete medical record, and didn't know Lindsay had called a suicide hotline twice. On the other side, prosecutors are leaning on what Lindsay did that morning — sending her husband out for takeout, timing his errand, and a specific search on her phone beforehand. Faddis walks through why the state considers that detail central, and why the defense conceded from day one that Lindsay killed her children, choosing instead to fight over whether she was herself when it happened. What Massachusetts law requires the state to prove beyond a reasonable doubt is where this case now turns, and Faddis makes the case for why the providers on both witness lists may end up mattering as much as anything said in closing arguments. LINKS, DISCLAIMER & HASHTAGS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Our card this week is Ilene Misheloff, the Ace of Hearts from California.  Thirteen-year-old Ilene Misheloff normally walked the same path home from school most days. And on January 30, 1989, all signs indicate she took that same route… and ALMOST made it home. But something… or someone intervened. And somehow, with all the traffic and houses that lined her route, no one saw the moment that Ilene Misheloff disappeared.  In a case with so many leads and tips, investigators all these years later are left with one physical piece of evidence and a million questions… some of which they're hoping you might be able to answer.   Anyone with information on the 1989 disappearance of Ilene Misheloff can call the Dublin Police Services tip line at 925-833-6638.   View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/ilene-misheloff Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.
