The ghost of a former resident begins to haunt a mother and daughter in their New York City apartment building just as the two recently moved to the area and are in the midst of a custody battle.Haunted Water month rolls on as we discuss Dark Water, the remake of the 2002 Japanese ghost story, starring Jennifer Connelly and John C. Reilly. This movie has a lot going in including the challenges a mother and daughter experience in a custody battle compiled with their new apartment having a constant water leak, which is the work of a ghost. As far as atmosphere goes, this is a very mood film which plays well with the psychological impact the family, especially the mother, experiences while trying to raise a child at the conclusion of a sour relationship. The ghost story cycles a theme of abandonment and neglect which culminates into a twist we didn't see coming, but feels mixed at best. Although very well acted, this ghost story at times feels dull and doesn't fully bring everything together at the climax.

As a former baseball player recovers from a serious injury, he moves his family into a house with a pool that harbors a mysterious supernatural force.We're kicking off Haunted Water month with Night Swim. When this movie came out in 2024, we were so excited to give it a watch. What could be more entertaining than a haunted pool. This movie had such an interesting premise and after watching it, we believe it may be more of a baseball movie than a horror movie. In any case, it takes several swings, but misses on most. The film lacks the scares with cheesy pool ghosts, uneven acting performances, and large plot holes.

No breaking Pittsburgh Steelers news? That's when our show gets the most honest. We're back in the basement, catching up with the Footballing family, and we start with the one Steelers moment that actually deserves the spotlight: Pat Freiermuth getting married. We send a real congratulations, then pivot into what we do best when the offseason goes quiet, telling stories and hanging out like you're sitting right here with us. We bring back the beer segment with two very different pours: a Western American lager that takes Ben straight back to Estes Park, Colorado, and a “Beer Flavored Beer” sent in from Allusion Brewing Company in Pennsylvania. The beer talk turns into the kind of unexpectedly fun rabbit hole we love, including a legit question: why do some beer steins have lids, and what does that say about the history of drinking culture? From there, it's camp stories from Wind River Ranch and a faith-based retreat that mixes family time, teaching, worship, and the kind of challenge you can't fake. Ben tells the egg toss story that ends in a brutal loss at the worst possible moment, then walks through a 3:45am hike in the dark to a sunrise summit over 11,000 feet. We talk altitude, heart rates, carrying everyone's water, kids sprinting ahead like mountain goats, and the simple “mountains and valleys” metaphor that sticks with you long after the trip ends. If you like Steelers podcasts with personality, craft beer reviews, and real-life lessons that land, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a laugh, and leave a review with your own best hiking or game-day fail story.

Dating can feel exhausting, especially when every first date seems loaded with pressure, expectations, and endless swiping. In this episode, John shares five first-date reminders for navigating modern dating with more confidence, curiosity, and intention. He explores why dating often feels transactional today, how expectations can get in the way of connection, and what it looks like to approach dating without turning every encounter into a search for "the one." In this episode: • Why John believes dating has become low-effort and transactional • The importance of planning and showing intention on a first date • Why "less history, more mystery" can create better conversations • How expectations can sabotage connection • Why you're not looking for your soulmate on a first date • How to handle rejection, disappointment, and bad dates without taking them personally
The Losers Club bands together to fight a shape-shifting entity that disguises itself primarily as a clown and feeds on children in the summer of 1989 in Derry, Maine. It, based off the classic Stephen King novel, depicts half of the story, focusing on the kids as they fight Pennywise who is feasting on children in Derry, Maine. This film fits perfectly into the Kids Aren't Alright month as the kids in Derry are going missing and the Losers Club discovers Pennywise is hungry for their fear. The kids in this rendition of the story portray the characters well and we believe the portion of the story where the kids fight Pennywise is the better half of the story vs when the adults come back to Derry in the future. Bill Skarsgard's performance and re-brand of the infamous Pennywise was amazing and as good as the iconic Tim Curry performance from the 1990 TV mini series.

Ibogaine is regularly categorized as a psychedelic — but that label may be misleading in ways that matter. In this micro, James offers a crash course in what ibogaine actually is: where it comes from, how its unusual pharmacology works, what it does to the mind, and why it holds a position in addiction medicine that no other drug on earth can claim. The risk profile is part of the picture too. This is a clip from 'Psychedelics in Research & Practice | James W.

Why is it so hard to let go of someone you know isn't right for you? How do you know when you've healed enough to date again? Can someone truly love you if you don't love themselves? And what do you do when trust is broken? In this listener Q&A, I answer questions about heartbreak, attachment, self-worth, trust, and what it actually takes to build healthy relationships. We explore why we can stay emotionally attached to an ex even when we know the relationship wasn't right, how toxic relationships can shape our dating patterns, and the difference between seeking connection and avoiding loneliness. I also share my thoughts on love languages, masculinity, rebuilding trust after betrayal, and one small step you can take today to begin changing your life. Whether you're trying to move on, wondering if you're ready to date again, or looking to build healthier relationships, I hope this conversation gives you something to reflect on.

A small town undergoes a mysterious event where several women give birth to odd alien children who look like humans.The third week of the Kids Aren't Alright month brings in Village of the Damned for us to discuss. The 1995 John Carpenter remake of the 1960 movie stars Christopher Reeve and Kirstie Alley, and although it has a very interesting premise, doesn't deliver on the setup. While the movie is well acted, the second and third acts leave a lot to be desired with plotlines either going nowhere or being disappointing. However, there are some very interesting kills as these kids have mind control abilities forcing the parents and townspeople to die in bizarre ways.

Don't protect your heart. Protect your relationship. In this episode, John Kim explores what it really takes to build a relationship that lasts. After heartbreak, loss, and repeating old patterns, many people start doing the inner work and realize that healthy love does not just happen naturally. It has to be built with intention, ownership, and practice. John breaks down the idea of “relationship armor” as the tools and practices that protect the relationship itself. This includes creating a safe space, practicing self-awareness, communicating honestly, loving without dragging the past into the present, and learning how to fight in a healthier way.

Why does a breakup feel like more than heartbreak? In this episode, John Kim explores why breakups can feel like a death, and why that experience is rooted in more than emotion alone. Drawing from neuroscience, attachment theory, and years of therapeutic experience, he explains what happens in the brain after a relationship ends and why healing takes time.

In this episode: • Why breakups feel physically painful • The role dopamine and attachment play in heartbreak • How relationships become part of our emotional regulation system • The grief of losing a future that never actually happened • Identity loss after a breakup • Why healing is really about rewiring If someone in your life is going through a breakup, share this episode with them.

A grocery shopper bought a bag of lettuce and found a live frog in the bag; also, did you choose the right person to marry? A lot of us didn't. Social media is as harmful as smoking plus, 90% of us are right handed, and science says they know why. A Chicago man stole a police car while the cops watched, and some athletes say no to Gatorade and yes to pickle juice. A man is suing Carnival cruise lines because he says the deck was too hot, plus, what's the creepiest thing a woman ever said to you? And a dog accidentally fired a shot gun and hit a woman in the arm. Pretty good aim if you ask me. We've got a seat for you!

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
For months, almost everything about the death of eighteen-year-old Anna Kepner aboard a Carnival cruise was locked behind a sealed court file. Now that file is open — and what's inside is chilling.On this episode of Hidden Killers, we dig into the evidence prosecutors unveiled against Anna's sixteen-year-old stepbrother, now charged as an adult in her death. The centerpiece, for me, is the phone. Anna's cellphone allegedly disappeared the night she died, was carried through the ship, and turned up smashed in a garbage area where a crew member found it. The irony? On a cruise ship, a phone is constantly pinging the Wi-Fi — so the very thing he allegedly tried to destroy may have quietly recorded his every move.We also get into the security footage, the DNA results prosecutors describe as overwhelming, the autopsy findings, and the detail almost everyone skips past — the second person investigators tested, and what ruling him out might mean.He's facing the possibility of life behind bars. A judge sent him home until trial. And the biggest question of all is still wide open.Come sit with this one. We follow the evidence wherever it goes — and we don't pretend to have the answer the family is still waiting for.END WITH (exactly as written):Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
