SCHEDULE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-30-261893 HMS INFLEXIBLEThe Sloppy Memo of Understanding and Iran's Control of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer.Batchelor and Schanzer discuss a "sloppily" written Memo of Understanding that allows Iran to project control over the Strait of Hormuz. Schanzer notes that while shipping continues, markets remain anxious because Iran is effectively holding international energy hostage. He criticizes the international community's lack of response to this global threat. 1Indefinite IDF Deployments in the Levant and the Strengthening of Turkey. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Schanzer explains that the IDF will remain in Lebanon and Syria indefinitely to destroy Hezbollah's massive underground tunnel complexes. He notes that Marco Rubio negotiated a framework emphasizing Lebanese sovereignty. Additionally, Ambassador Tom Barrack is reportedly pressuring Israel while seeking to empower Turkey as Iran's regional influence weakens. 2Volkswagen Layoffs and the Debate Over German Military Conscription. Guest: Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus McCotter. Judy Dempsey reports on the crisis at Volkswagen, where 100,000 workers face layoffs due to the global shift toward electric vehicles and Chinese competition. These layoffs will ripple through Germany's network of small suppliers. Thaddeus McCotter and Dempsey discuss how these economic shifts compare to the American auto industry's transformation. 3The Ankara NATO Summit and Ukraine's Offensive Against Russia. Guest: Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus McCotter. Dempsey and McCotter preview the NATO summit in Ankara, which Donald Trump may attend to reward President Erdoğan with fighter jets. The conversation highlights Ukraine's successful drone strikes on Russian refineries and resupply lines. Putin faces pressure from both domestic hawks and a population suffering under war-induced rationing. 4The Escalating Persecution of Christians Within the Islamic Republic of Iran. Guest: Mariam Wahba. Mariam Wahba describes how the Iranian regime is using current regional tensions as a pretext to clamp down on domestic Christians. The regime specifically targets converts, labeling them as "Zionist" mercenaries and national security threats. Imprisonment of Christians has surged sixfold as the regime seeks scapegoats for its international military setbacks. 5Iranian Drones and the Proxy War in the Sudan Conflict. Guest: Mariam Wahba. Wahba reports that Iranian drones are fueling a stalemate in Sudan's brutal civil war. Iran sells these weapons for revenue and to gain potential port access on the Red Sea near the Houthis. Egypt is intervening to prevent Islamist victories on its border, while the conflict devolves into a multi-power proxy war. 6Critiquing the 14-Point Memo of Understanding and Operation Epic Fury. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. Peter Berkowitz analyzes the 14-point Memo of Understanding, contrasting Secretary Marco Rubio's "peace through strength" approach with Vice President JD Vance's "restraint." He argues "Operation Epic Fury" failed because it did not secure the Strait of Hormuz before the ceasefire. Berkowitz notes that the administration's goals for the Iranian people became confused during operations. 7Diplomatic Failures and the Unsuccessful Campaign to Quell Iran. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. Berkowitz criticizes the administration for failing to prepare the American public for the Iranian conflict through major policy speeches. He highlights a split between Vance's negotiations with Iran and Rubio's Israel-Lebanon framework. Finally, he compares the current MOU to failed Gaza deals, suggesting the IRGC will never abandon its core mission of war. 8The UK's Changing Guard: Andy Burnham and the Defense Budget Black Hole. Guest: Gregory Copley. Gregory Copley discusses the rise of Andy Burnham in Britain following Keir Starmer's "complete detachment" from the electorate. Burnham must address a massive 45-million-pound black hole in the defense budget. The discussion also covers the intractable problem of illegal immigration across the English Channel and the lack of cooperation from France. 9Chilly Conflicts and Fractured Leadership in the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Gregory Copley. Copley describes the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz as a "chilly conflict" where Iranian leadership remains fractured and indecisive. While supertankers sail through, both the US and Iran are using the ceasefire to rebuild their depleted arsenals. Copley notes that the IRGC is increasingly taking power away from Iran's clerical leadership. 10Global Defense Shifts in a Multipolar World and the End of Intervention. Guest: Gregory Copley. Copley examines the shift toward a multipolar world as countries like Canada and Turkey reduce their dependency on US weapon systems. This "reversion to sovereignty" allows middle powers to play a more independent role. Copley observes that the US is stepping back from its role as the "cop on the beat" except in existential matters. 11King Charles III and the Revitalization of the Royal Navy. Guest: Gregory Copley. Copley highlights King Charles III's personal connection to the Royal Navy and his efforts to revitalize the service. Despite budget constraints, the UK is building new capital ships and submarines to maintain maritime power. The King's involvement is seen as crucial for maintaining military morale and national defense during periods of governmental incompetence. 12Disparate Impact, Merit-Based Admissions, and Federal Contracting Reforms. Guest: Michael Toth. Michael Toth discusses the historical use of "disparate impact" as a mechanism for discrimination in university admissions. He details the current administration's efforts to root out racial preferences in federal contracting. Toth argues for a return to merit-based standards to restore the principle of equal justice. 13The Mystery of Third-Party Litigation Finance and its Taxation. Guest: Michael Toth. Toth explains the emergence of third-party litigation finance, where external financial institutions fund tort cases against American companies. He notes this practice is uniquely American and creates a new market for legal conflict. Toth recommends that the Treasurytax these business gains at ordinary income rates rather than treating them as capital gains. 14Domestic Politics, Midterm Perils, and the SAVE Act. Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. Thaddeus McCotter analyzes the upcoming midterms, noting that Democrats have reframed "inflation" as "affordability" to distance themselves from economic policies. He discusses the internal "civil wars" within both parties, including the rise of Democratic Socialists and divisions within the MAGA movement. The "SAVE Act" is highlighted as the president's primary political solution. 15Affordability, Energy Prices, and the Short-Term Gains of Midterm Politics. Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. McCotter observes that all foreign policy eventually becomes domestic, especially through the lens of energy costs. He warns that the administration might prioritize short-term gas price relief over long-term strategic interests in the Middle East. Consequently, providing sanctions relief to Iran could allow the regime to continue funding global terrorism and its nuclear program. 16

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-2-2026.1811 BRUSSELS(1) Liz Peek discusses the K-shaped economy, where wealthy retirees flourish while lower-income citizens struggle with inflation and high gasoline costs. The Iran war significantly impacts oil prices, threatening real wage growth.(2) Liz Peek examines how voters in California's primary face economic decline, high taxes, and out-of-control crime. Republican Steve Hilton campaigns on common-sense changes to address quality-of-life issues as residents reject "woke" policies in major cities.(3) Thaddeus McCotter discusses a Gallup poll revealing historically low economic confidence among independent voters.

This strategy evaluates reactions to potential shifts in NATO's security umbrella as Europe takes more responsibility for self-defense.(8) Judy Dempsey discusses the AfD party's rise in Germany, which exploits voter fear regarding globalization and deindustrialization.

She advocates for strategic decoupling and realistic planning, rather than hoping for fair trade or stability from the current Chinese regime.(15) Malcolm Hoenlein explains that Iran continues its "forever war" by funding Hezbollah despite ongoing truce negotiations. Prime Minister Netanyahu faces internal pressure while assessing potential ceasefires and the ongoing threat of Hamas rebuilding in Gaza.(16) Malcolm Hoenlein notes that Hezbollah's tunnels and missile capacity remain a critical danger to northern Israel.

Sie sei eine «kompromisslose Künstlerinnenpersönlichkeit»: Zu diesem Schluss kam die Jury im Auswahlprozess für den «Eurovision Young Musicians»-Wettbewerb. Am 6. Juni wird die junge Pianistin Manoush Toth im Finale in Armenien auftreten. Wie kompromisslos findet sie sich selbst? Ruhe. Das empfindet Manoush Toth, wenn sie am Klavier sitzt und einfach alles stimmt. Und gleichzeitig spüre sie die Kraft des Moments; das Wissen, dass genau dieser Moment zähle. Man wünscht Manoush Toth, dass sich diese Ruhe am Abend des 6. Juni in ihr ausbreiten wird. Dann findet in der armenischen Hauptstadt Jerewan das Finale des Musikwettbewerbs «Eurovision Young Musicians» statt, der alle zwei Jahre von der European Broadcasting Union (EBU) ausgerichtet wird und jungen Klassiktalenten eine grosse Bühne bietet. Im Rahmen der Förderung von Schweizer Musiktalenten bei SRF wurde die 19-Jährige von einer Fachjury als Teilnehmerin ausgesucht. Für diesen besonderen Auftritt hat sie sich für ein Stück von Schumann entschieden – allerdings nicht von Robert, sondern von Clara, dessen Ehefrau. «Clara Schumann wird immer mehr aufgeführt. Aber noch immer zu wenig», begründet Manoush Toth ihre Wahl. Dabei gehöre ihr Klavierkonzert zu den wichtigsten des 19. Jahrhunderts. Das verrät viel über Manoush Toth. Und was sie damit meint, wenn sie sagt, dass sie sich einen ernsthaften Zugang zur klassischen Musik wünsche. Weil Ernsthaftigkeit in ihrem Fall vor allem Offenheit und Neugierde bedeutet: «Wenn man die Hintergründe der klassischen Musik kennt, dann öffnet sich einem ein ganz besonderer Schatz.» Sie selbst nahm das erste Funkeln dieses Schatzes bereits im Alter von zwei Jahren wahr. Fast gleichzeitig mit dem Sprechen sei die Musik in ihr Leben gekommen. Und entsprechend vertraut fühle sie sich an, bis heute. Aufgewachsen ist sie zuerst auf den kanarischen Inseln, später im Berner Oberland. Sie und ihre Geschwister gehen nicht zur Schule, werden zu Hause von den Eltern unterrichtet. Paradiesisch sei das gewesen, sagt Manoush Toth. Doch mit dem Eintritt in die Hochschule für Musik Basel stand sie dadurch vor Herausforderungen, die sich anderen jungen Menschen nicht stellen. Im Gespräch mit Melanie Pfändler erzählt Manoush Toth von dieser Zeit, von dem Druck, den sie sich selbst auferlege, von der engen musikalischen Zusammenarbeit mit ihrem Bruder Anatol und ihrer jüngeren Schwester Anouk und von diesem magischen Moment auf der Bühne, wenn alles noch ganz still ist und sie ihre Finger auf die Tasten legt. Die Musiktitel: - W.A. Mozart: 3. Allegro, aus Sinfonie Nr. 31 D-Dur KV 297 «Pariser» (Freiburger Barockorchester; Gottfried von der Goltz, Leitung) - Antonin Antonín Dvořák: 3. Poco adagio, aus Klaviertrio Nr. 3 f-Moll op. 65 (Isabelle Faust, Violine; Jean-Guihen Queyras, Violoncello; Alexander Melnikov, Klavier) - Francis Poulenc: 3. Allegro ma non troppo, aus Doppelkonzert d-Moll (Sylviane Deferne & Pascal Rogé, Klavier; Philharmonia Orchestra; Charles Dutoit, Leitung) - Billy Joel: The Stranger - Franz Schubert: Impromptu Ges-Dur D 899 op. 90 (Radu Lupu, Klavier)

Viele Menschen haben dieses eine, große Lieblingsspiel: dieser besondere Titel, mit dem sie schöne Erinnerungen verbinden, an das sie immer wieder liebevoll denken müssen oder dass sogar einen wichtigen Wendepunkt in ihrem Leben markiert. Für Christian Toth treffen all diese Dinge auf Age of Empires 2 zu: Der Echtzeitstrategie-Klassiker von 1999 begleitet Christian nun schon sein ganzes Leben lang - von den ersten LAN-Parties über einen eSport-Karriereversuch bis zum eigenen Podcast, der sich einzig und allein um dieses Spiel dreht. Auch beruflich findet Christian immer wieder Möglichkeiten, über Age of Empires 2 und andere Spiele zu sprechen: Er forscht und spricht an der Gutenberg-Universität-Mainz am Institut für Erziehungswissenschaft mit Studierenden auch über digitale Spiele, wie sie Geschichten erzählen - und wie sie über Geschichte selbst sprechen. Klingt spannend? IST spannend und die Grundlage für ein buntes Gespräch zwischen Christian Toth und Gastgeber Dom Schott, der ebenfalls innige Erinnerungen an AoE 2 im Herzen trägt. **Links:** - [OK COOL unterstützen & alle Premiumpodcasts freischalten](https://steadyhq.com/de/okc/about) - [den Newsletter von OK COOL schnappen & nix mehr verpassen](https://steadyhq.com/de/okc/newsletter/sign_up) - [dem Discord von OK COOL beitreten & über alle Folgen diskutieren](https://discord.gg/UPcj9qF5KF)

Hello and welcome back to another episode of B Bin Horror! This episode we cover three different House of Wax movies, the 1933 film, Mystery of the Wax Museum, 1953's House of Wax and the 2005 remake also titled, House of Wax. Mystery of the Wax Museum was directed by Michael Curtiz and stars Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray, Glenda Farrell and Frank McHugh. The 1953 House of Wax film was directed by Andre de Toth and stars Vincent Price, Frank Lovejoy, Phyllis Kirk, Carolyn Jones and Paul Picerni.

Hello and welcome back to season two of All One Song, a Neil Young podcast presented by Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with your host Tyler Wilcox, a longtime Aquarium Drunkard contributor and Neil Young fanatic. We're spending some time this spring traveling deep into the Shakey-verse, talking with some great artists about their favorite Neil Young songs. On a recent episode, Brigid Mae Power and Wilcox went deep into Neil's classic lament “Albuquerque”—both agreeing Neil nailed the stark, lonesome vibe of the American southwest in that song. If you're going to try to evoke those kinds of landscapes, you don't need to use a lot of words, right? Right. But also … wrong?  A few years after Neil wrote “Albuquerque,” he found himself on a long road trip from Taos, New Mexico, back to the west coast. And as he rolled through the desert, he wrote “Thrasher.” In contrast to “Albuquerque,” the lyrics of this song are rich and poetic, as images of ancient rivers, timeless gorges, crystal canyons and dinosaurs in shrines all float before the listener's eyes. “Thrasher” unfolds like a stoned, rapturous daydream as Neil muses on lost friendships, the specter of mortality, and of course, that great Grand Canyon Rescue episode. First appearing on Rust Never Sleeps in 1979, it's one of Young's most satisfying songs.  And here to talk with us about “Thrasher” is James Jackson Toth, a terrific songwriter whose career matches Neil in terms of eclectic, exploratory and highly personalized vibes. He's been a man of many monikers over the years; there are records under his own name, there are records under the ever-morphing Wooden Wand designation; there's DUNZA, there's James and the Giants, there's One Eleven Heavy and more. Whatever you end up checking out, you're guaranteed to be transported to strange, funny and powerful places. Toth has carved out his own singular niche over the years; like Neil, you can't put him in one particular box.  And that similarity is no accident! As we talk about in our “Thrasher” ramble, James has a tattoo that asks that all-important question: “What would Neil Young do?” Always a good thing to ponder, whether you're writing a song or buying groceries.   So! Without further ado, here's James Jackson Toth on All One Song.

Na začiatku podnikania Petra Toth počúvala, že sa len hrá s korálkami. V súčasnosti je uznávanou šperkárkou a svoj biznis spojila s pomáhaním. Originálnymi nápadmi podporuje folklór a slovenské kultúrne dedičstvo. Vypočujte si podcast Bod k dobru, v ktorom prinášame príbehy filantropov a filantropiek a búrame tabu spojené so slovom filantropia. Počas covidu roznášala teplomery. Keď začala vojna na Ukrajine, ako dobrovoľníčka stála na hraniciach a obliekala otepľovačky uzimeným deťom. Jej šperky s ľudovými motívmi priniesli pomoc Čičmanom aj Telgártu. V dedinke Polichno zachraňuje rodný dom Boženy Slančíkovej-Timravy, v Mikovej oživila zabudnutý kroj, ktorý nosila matka Andyho Warhola, a venovala ho obci spolu s pamätnou izbou. Keď vidí problém, snaží sa nájsť riešenie. „Nerobím to preto, aby ma niekto chválil. Viem, že to je potrebné,“ vraví podnikateľka, dizajnérka a šperkárka Petra Toth. V podcaste sa dozviete: čím Petru Toth zaujala autorka legendárnych Ťapákovcov, ako s dizajnérkami hovorili „timravčinou“, prečo jej etnografku považovali v Mikovej za zlodejku, koľko píšťaliek rozdali vysokoškoláčkam, a či vymyslí šperk ako symbol pomáhania.

For Ed Toth, music isn't just his career, but it's been an integral part of his entire life. His father was a working musician and an audiophile, so he was always surrounded by great music. In fact, he was only 13 years-old when he joined his Dad's Top 40 band as the drummer. From there, he's been blessed with some amazing connections and gigs, including a nine-year stint in the band Vertical Horizon, where he played on the band's two biggest albums, including their #1 hit “Everything You Want.” He eventually landed a drumming chair with The Doobie Brothers, and has been touring with the band for 21 years. Here to chat with us today about these experiences and some other great projects he's involved with is none other than Ed Toth.

The conversation centers on the theme of grassroots mobilization versus "swamp" funding, highlighting how Toth overcame significant financial disadvantages by outworking his opponent and effectively defining his conservative message. The participants critique the influence of special interest groups and defense contractors, while praising the statesmanship of figures like Ken Paxton for prioritizing national interests over personal ambition. Finally, the dialogue serves as a critique of progressive policies, specifically targeting James Talarico and issues such as critical race theory, to frame the upcoming election as a battle for cultural and constitutional integrity.

Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Stephen Rivkin, ACE, who was one of the editors on James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash. The other editors included Cameron himself, Nicholas de Toth, Jason Gaudio, and John Refoua. Steve's been on Art of the Cut before when we discussed the previous Avatar film – The Way of Water. Steve also edited the first Avatar film, for which he was nominated along with John Refoua and James Cameron for an Oscar, a BAFTA, and an ACE Eddie Award. He won an Eddie for his work on Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Other films include Alita: Battle Angel, Ali, The Hurricane, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and My Cousin Vinny. Today our discussion includes how the Avatar films use a unique two step process - first editing performance alone, then editing the final shots created with those performances, and on co-editing with the film's director, James Cameron, ACE.If you'd like to read along with this interview and see the trailer, video featurettes, clips and images from the film, visit the BorisFX.com website for the Art of the Cut blog.borisfx.com/blog/aotc

Guest: Michael Toth. Toth of the Civitas Institute warns against new "climate superfund" legislation in states like New York, which seeks to retroactively tax fossil fuel companies for global warming. He characterizes these funds as unconstitutional attempts to regulate global emissions at the state level, arguing they will function as slush funds that drive up energy costs.1903 SANTA BARBARA

Guest: Michael Toth. The segment focuses on California's strategy to empower the Attorney General to sue fossil fuel companies for rising insurance premiums. Toth argues these lawsuits are politically motivated and legally weak, noting that even insurance companies refuse to sue because attributing specific damages or deaths to corporate emissions is factually difficult.UNDATED

SHOW SCHEDULE1-29-20261942 LANCASTER PA, ARMISTICE DAY IN WARTIME Guest: Anatol Lieven. Lieven of the Quincy Institute discusses breaking news that Vladimir Putin has agreed to a one-week ceasefire on Ukrainian cities following a request from Donald Trump. Lieven views this as a significant positive signal of Putin's desire to maintain good standing with the incoming administration, though he notes that major territorial disagreements remain unresolved. Guest: Anatol Lieven. The conversation turns to the $300 billion in suspended Russian assets. Lieven outlines Russia's proposal to use these funds for reconstruction or a joint investment fund to avoid confiscation, suggesting that suspending rather than lifting sanctions could be a political compromise to secure U.S. Senate approval. Guest: Chris Riegel. Riegel, CEO of Stratology, analyzes Elon Musk's pivot to manufacturing "Optimus" androids, arguing that California's restrictive tax and labor costs are driving the need for automation. He suggests that major retailers like Walmart are poised to replace significant portions of their workforce with robotics to maintain profitability amid rising economic pressures. Guest: Mariam Wahba. Wahba from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies reports on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria by jihadists and Fulani militants. She details a newly established White House working group designed to help the Nigerian government fix security gaps and enforce laws against the perpetrators of this religiously motivated violence. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. O'Grady of the Wall Street Journal critiques the Trump administration's engagement with Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez. O'Grady warns that while Rodriguez is cooperating on oil exports, she remains a "vice dictator" managing rival factions to ensure the regime's survival while stalling on the release of political prisoners. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. De Rugy of the Mercatus Center examines the failure of Georgia's film tax credits, noting that productions eventually moved to cheaper locations despite billions in subsidies. She compares this to federal industrial policies like tariffs and Intel subsidies, arguing that government attempts to "pick winners" rarely produce sustainable economic results. Guest: Michael Toth. Toth of the Civitas Institute warns against new "climate superfund" legislation in states like New York, which seeks to retroactively tax fossil fuel companies for global warming. He characterizes these funds as unconstitutional attempts to regulate global emissions at the state level, arguing they will function as slush funds that drive up energy costs. Guest: Michael Toth. The segment focuses on California's strategy to empower the Attorney General to sue fossil fuel companies for rising insurance premiums. Toth argues these lawsuits are politically motivated and legally weak, noting that even insurance companies refuse to sue because attributing specific damages or deaths to corporate emissions is factually difficult. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Ellis of the U.S. Army War College reports that Cuba is facing a catastrophic energy collapse, with only days of oil remaining after Mexico and Venezuela cut supplies. He predicts this crisis will likely trigger a massive wave of migration as the island's power grid and economy face a near-total shutdown. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Ellis discusses the Costa Rican election, where center-right candidate Laura Fernandez holds a commanding lead. He describes her as a technocrat focused on combating drug-fueled crime and continuing pro-business policies, noting she is on track to potentially win the presidency in the first round. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Ellis evaluates Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, praising her pragmatic management of relations with the U.S. despite her leftist ideology. He notes she has navigated threats of tariffs and military intervention by cooperating on border security and extradition, while maintaining political dominance through her predecessor's powerful movement. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Ellis describes the unstable power dynamics in Venezuela, where the Rodriguezfaction cooperates with the U.S. on oil to prevent economic collapse. He warns that rival criminal factions, including the ELN and military figures, may sabotage this arrangement if they fear being betrayed or marginalized by the current leadership. Guest: Padraic Scanlan. Scanlan, author of Rot, introduces the history of the Irish Famine by recounting a folk story about Queen Victoria visiting the devastated village of Skibbereen. He sets the context by explaining how the pre-famine Irish economy relied entirely on the high-yield potato, which allowed landlords to pay incredibly low wages to a capital-poor population. Guest: Padraic Scanlan. Scanlan discusses the structure of Irish land ownership, using Shirley Castle as an example of the disconnect between landlords and tenants. He explains that while the landscape looked ancient, landlords were actually modern, sophisticated merchants who extracted rent from a tenant class living on small, unimproved plots known as "conacres." Guest: Padraic Scanlan. Scanlan explains the Victorian view of the famine through the lens of economist Thomas Malthus, who believed the "generous" potato encouraged overpopulation. He notes that Britishpolicymakers viewed the famine as a natural, inevitable correction and feared that providing aid would discourage the Irish poor from developing a "civilized" work ethic. Guest: Padraic Scanlan. Scanlan details the biological cause of the famine: Phytophthora infestans, a water mold that originated in Mexico. He explains that because Irish potatoes were genetically identical clones grown from cuttings, they had zero resistance to the pathogen, which destroyed both growing crops and stored food, leaving the population with no buffer against starvation.

Steve welcomes Michael Toth, Director of Research at the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin, to discuss why America needs a modern transcontinental railroad. They break down how outdated regulations have fractured rail transport and driven up costs across the supply chain. Toth explains how a proposed coast-to-coast rail merger could reduce bottlenecks, improve efficiency, and lower prices, if Washington gets out of the way and lets the market work.

Here's an SEO-optimized episode description for The Shallow End, written to perform well on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts while matching the tone of the episode and the show's brand: As 2025 limps toward the finish line, The Shallow End with Schnebly and Toth dives headfirst into a fresh batch of gloriously bad decisions, near-miss disasters, and criminal incompetence you truly have to hear to believe. The episode opens with a painfully relatable moment of modern panic: losing your phone… while actively talking on it. From there, things escalate quickly with a near-catastrophic kitchen mistake involving a laptop and a microwave (spoiler: MacBooks are not microwave-safe). But the real headline story comes out of small-town Ohio, where an ordinary bank drive-through transaction turns into one of the dumbest criminal stories of the year. A man accidentally sends methamphetamine through a pneumatic bank tube, triggering a sheriff's department response, a canine alert, and instant internet infamy. No getaway plan. No criminal mastermind. Just a jaw-dropping lapse in attention that lands him squarely in Shallow End legend. The episode also features listener-submitted stories, including a Florida man who attempts yard work with a sword and accidentally enters a real-life medieval snake encounter, plus a stunning double-whammy crime story involving COVID relief fraud, a stolen U-Haul van, and a defendant who shows up for federal court already in handcuffs. If you enjoy true dumb criminal stories, real news absurdity, and laugh-out-loud moments fueled by human error, this episode delivers. It's a reminder to double-check what's in your pockets, return your rental vehicles on time, and for the love of all that's holy—don't mail illegal drugs to a bank. The Shallow End is where bad ideas float, good judgment sinks, and the stories are always true. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 1967 Hanna-Barbera had a new show on Saturday Mornings, The Herculoids. This was before my time, but the show's concept and characters were so enduring that nearly a decade and a half later they would be revived for a new show and I would be introduced to the great characters. Between and since then the have shown up in reruns, comic books, and more modern shows where they often appear for laughs. The design of the characters was by the great Alex Toth, who I haven't really talk enough about on the show. So I start this episode with a bio of Toth after talking about my experience discovering and learning about the show over the years. Then I move onto thee show itself. I discuss the people in front of and behind the camera, the studio who made it, its release, the music, and much more. While the show combined elements of science fiction and fantasy, it was very easy to understand. A family of people and creatures come together to protect their home against anything that throw at them. Combine that simple and repeatable idea with great design and straightforward, but compelling animation and you have a memorable show that is still worth remembering today.
