This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!For Paige Stone, the supernatural was never a mystery—it was a constant companion. Before she even learned to tie her shoes, she was seeing things no one else could: flickering shadows, voices in empty rooms, and presences that came without warning. Most children outgrow their imaginary friends. Paige's never left.In her book The Uninvited: A Collection of True Life Supernatural and Paranormal Experiences, Paige reveals a lifetime spent living side by side with spirits—some gentle, others deeply unsettling. These weren't the fleeting chills of a haunted house visit. They were full-fledged interactions with forces that seemed to claim her attention, her home, and sometimes her peace.But instead of running from the paranormal, Paige leaned in. Her journey became one of understanding and connection—an attempt to bridge the gap between the living and the dead, and to help others recognize the unseen energies shaping their own lives.Today on The Grave Talks, Paige Stone takes us deep into her world: a life surrounded by the inexplicable, where every whisper, shadow, and shiver tells a story.

Episode DescriptionNumber 31 on the countdown. First zoo animal on Prozac. JD is joined by Duxoop from Toledo — broadcasting from the actual birthplace of Gus the polar bear — plus Andrew from Winnipeg and Dave from Montreal to dig into one of the most quietly beloved songs in the Hip catalogue.The panel gets into the Adam Kasper production that makes In Between Evolution sound the way it does, Rob Baker's untouchable outro solo, the Hip Museum's wonderfully unhinged George W. Bush theory, and the wordplay hiding in plain sight — because it was never what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us.Fair warning: this one gets emotional. Duxoop tells us what the lyrics did to him last year from a nursing home wheelchair, and Dave tells us about his friend Al — nickname Gus — and the cover band he's fronting at Al's memorial this Friday. Then the whole thing derails beautifully into a full inventory of every animal in the Hip discography.Explicit language. Recorded live on YouTube.On the PanelJD — hostDuxoop from Toledo — self-described part polar bear; born-in-Toledo credentials, same as GusAndrew from Winnipeg — arrived with facts and a News Radio shirt; host of Soup Full of RadioDave from Montreal — saw the Hip in Central Park; frontman of brand-new Hip cover band Colonel MustardTale of the TapePulled from The Hip Handbook, which amalgamates HipBase and setlist.fm data. Album In Between Evolution (2004) Producer Adam Kasper, recorded in Seattle Single Third single from the record Countdown position No. 31 on the Top 40 Times played live 327 First played October 27, 2003 Last played August 18, 2016 — the Ottawa show As an opener Once As an encore Five times Poll Results Love it 52% Like it 36% Tolerate it 10% Skip it 1% Never heard of it 1% Possibly the most varied — and most indecisive — poll spread of the series so far. Duxoop's verdict: "That's crazy to me. These numbers should be way more lopsided toward the top."Live Version FeaturedOttawa, 2004 — the Grey Cup halftime show. Andrew remembers watching it live and everyone around him asking why the band was opening the biggest gig of the year with a brand-new song. (They went into Courage right after.)What We Talked AboutThe Album That Everyone Slept OnIn Between Evolution debuted at No. 1 in Canada on roughly 22,500 first-week copies — then got knocked off the top by Avril Lavigne's new album.Certified platinum in Canada that September. Dave notes it was one of the last Hip records to move real units.Where does this song sit in the career arc? The panel lands on "the end of the middle" rather than the dawn of the final third.Andrew's take: Gus is the first song on the record that sounds like the Hip you already knew — you lean back in the chair. Heaven Is a Better Place Today, Summer's Killing Us and Vaccination Scar are louder neighbours, so Gus hides in the first five.Adam Kasper and the Seattle SoundAndrew looked up Kasper's credits and it clicked: Soundgarden's Down on the Upside, Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Deaf, Pearl Jam's self-titled (the avocado one), Foo Fighters' One by One.Same studio was hosting the Big Fish and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtracks around the time this record was being made.The panel agrees Gus has a "weirdly familiar, warm Hip sound" — it could have sat on Day for Night with different production, or on Music at Work. Maybe it was on the shelf a while.Rob Baker's OutroUniversal agreement: whichever live version you pull up, Baker is on fire. "A real showcase for him."Dave's sharpest observation of the night — Gord never rants over this solo the way he does over others. It always gets its space, and that may be the only ad-lib that separates the live song from the record.Gus HimselfBorn 1985 at the Toledo Zoo, died August 27, 2013. A 700-pound icon of the Central Park Zoo, seen by over 20 million visitors.Began swimming obsessively — up to 12 hours a day — in the 1990s. Reporters called him neurotic, depressed and flaky, and he became a symbol of the stress of living in New York.The first zoo animal in history to be treated with Prozac. Also got a jacuzzi and, at one point, two girlfriends. Duxoop: "Why is he the one on Prozac and not me?"Gord wrote the song in 2004, nine years before Gus died — so this wasn't an obituary. He'd seen the bear and then done the second-sourcing, as Gord always did.There's a children's book called What's Worrying Gus? The True Story of a Big City Bear. On Amazon, the cover has Gus on a therapist's couch.The Toledo ConnectionThe Hip played the Toledo Zoo twice in the '90s — where Gus was born.When they played Toledo in 2004, Gus was the show opener. The stats say it only ever opened once, so that was absolutely on purpose.The Bush TheoryThe Hip Museum reads Gus as partly about George W. Bush and the invasion of Iraq. Andrew read the paragraph aloud; it describes the two as "lovable, loutish, and incredibly accomplished guys… not bad for a pair of dudes with limited mental capacity."JD's verdict: lots of love for the Hip Museum, but that one's a reach.Gus / UsDave's thesis: he doesn't hear a bear at all. "It's not what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us." He's been on that line for twenty years.JD points out the Gordism that makes it work — dropping the G, so "troublin' us" and "troubling Gus" are phonetically the same thing.Duxoop extends it: we've all watched a zoo animal pace or swim figure eights, and that should be troubling us.On the lyrics generally: Gord's word-smithery rewards straining to hear it, and the panel confesses to mumbling through parts for two decades. Compared to Nautical Disaster — all story, no chorus, no pattern — Gus is manageable, but only just.Duxoop's StoryLast year, when the countdown hit No. 31, Duxoop was three months into a nursing home stay with medical issues. Twenty-odd years earlier he'd started going to karaoke — big, scary-looking, socially awkward, mistaken for the bouncer. Now he was in his 60s, in a wheelchair, and the line landed like a ton of bricks: old and grey, and no one's afraid anymore.He sang it at the nursing home. "I don't think I've ever sung a Hip song with more feeling than I do with Gus." Grace, Too he can't fake — he feels like a schmuck trying to match Gord's intensity. Gus he doesn't fake.And after a week of thinking about it for this episode, he made a bold statement: Gus is now his favourite Tragically Hip song, over Grace, Too.Dave's Story — Al, Gus, and Colonel MustardDave's friend Al Morton died suddenly last November. They bonded over the Hip and golf at Dave's club. Al's nickname was Gus.In their fantasy football pick'em league, Al's picks stayed on the board for the rest of the NFL season. "A real lump in my throat."Al's memorial is this Friday at the Dunany Country Club in Wentworth, Quebec — halfway between Ottawa and Montreal. Ashes scattered around the course in the morning; speeches and a gathering at night, billed as his "after par-ty."The family asked for seven or eight Hip songs. Dave and friends have twenty ready, after two nights jamming at his buddy Chris's place. He made them learn Gus — he couldn't imagine doing a show for Al without it.The band is named Colonel Mustard, after Al's imported 1970s Mercedes. Wentworth, Quebec's Tragically Hip cover band. Dave waited 45 years to do this.His approach: very much not trying to be Gord. "I'm just trying to sing it with my truth."Hardest songs to sing so far — Fireworks (the National Fitness Program cadence) and Fully Completely (Gord's offbeat entrance in the middle section). Bassist John Roy has been cueing him in.Also on the setlist: Grace Too, Wheat Kings, The Good Life, Three Pistols.One BucketDave loves the way Gord says "whippoorwill" — audible in the Grey Cup version JD played. He'll be attempting it Friday."Used to be enough to make every bird stop singing." There's a lot of beauty in this song.Dave also went to bat for Sharks as an all-time Hip song — lyrically perfect, everyone gets to shine — while fully admitting he's a party of one on that.The Countdown NeighboursNo. 30 The Darkest One · No. 31 Gus · No. 32 Emperor Penguin — with Pigeon Camera at No. 28. As JD put it: their arctic phase.The Animal Album (An Idea That Got Away From Everyone)Duxoop floated it — Weird Al did a food album and a TV album, so why not a Tragically Hip animal album? The panel then attempted a full inventory:Emperor Penguin · Pigeon Camera · Dire Wolf · Problem Bears · Thompson Girl (polar bear reference) · The Bear on Music at WorkTiger the Lion · The Luxury (zoo lion) · Little Bones (a teeny tiny little cat) · Sled Dogs After DinnerWheat Kings (loon at the beginning) · Bumblebee · Leave ("in this contest, a concave nest") · Sharks · Piano Spider · I'm a Werewolf, Baby · the killer whale tank one on the box setVerdict: someone needs to make this playlist.Quotable Moments"It's not what's troubling Gus. It's what's troubling us. And that's just the best." — Dave from Montreal"Gord Downie sells the fuck out of this song. He sells the flakiness of the bear. He sells the confusion of the person watching it being like, why aren't you like a real bear?" — Dave from Montreal"It's funny — we're happy to hear a song about a sad animal." — Andrew from Winnipeg"Gus is like you're leaning back in your chair and relaxing a bit." — Andrew from Winnipeg"Grace, Too I feel like I'm faking it. Gus, man, I don't fake that one." — Duxoop from Toledo"It's up to us now to keep these songs alive." — Dave from Montreal"I live for that rare occasion where somebody goes, who was that song by? I got to look up that artist — and I get to make a new Hip fan." — Duxoop from ToledoMentioned in This EpisodeThe Hip Handbook — free Top 40 breakdown with episode links: thehiphandbook.tthpods.comHipBase and setlist.fm — live-stat sources behind the Tale of the TapeThe Hip Museum — source of the Gus / George W.

There's a local Toledo tribute on Friday collecting donations for the Dublin Simon Community, the homelessness charity Hansard cared deeply about. Duxoop, who was himself homeless for a couple of years recently: "I would definitely promote that."Andrew from WinnipegSoup Full of Radio — weekly on UMFM in Winnipeg. Every episode is the next letter of the alphabet. Next week: songs starting with "the." The week after: all covers, all Tom Jones covering other people.Head Full of Radio — the podcast, where Andrew plays Radiohead to a guy who's never heard it. Google "Soup Full of Radio" and you'll find both.Dave from MontrealGoogle him for his Hip-related writing; Instagram @DaveKaufman1Dave used his plug to point people at JD's buy-me-a-coffee instead — noting how many unpaid hours go into this and how much the shows are worth to him. JD's reiteration: this stuff is free forever, don't worry if you can't swing it.The Gathering — KingstonRegistration deadline is Friday for all activities. (If you're hearing this on the podcast feed, you've likely missed it.)Three days in Kingston for the 10th anniversary of the Hip's final show: a brunch, an album listening party, a first-day mixer, and hotel blocks. Come for one day or all three.On the 22nd, the national celebration screens in Springer Market Square — side by side with other fans, the way everyone watched it ten years ago.Live stream of the final episode of Your Hipstories: Reflections from the Final Tour.

"If you are not willing to put the effort to come there, why am I getting you the stuff? You have to put in the effort for everything."In Episode 186, we sit down with one of the most resilient, hyper-conquering legends in combat sports history: Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu. We dive into the brutal origin story of his legendary nickname—starting from a near-fatal car crash that left him with a shattered arm and 300 stitches, to his defiant decision to return to the mats just months later.Cyborg breaks down how this trauma forced him to discover the "warrior inside," the importance of the 80s generation mindset, and why he refuses to ever let an injury dictate his limits.Plus, we explore the rabbit hole of ancient conspiracies, why the official history of the Pyramids is nonsense, and how he manages the balance of building a global jiu-jitsu empire while staying grounded.

Welcome to the wrap-up episode! In this final episode of Season 20 of the podcast, I talk about how the idea for "Big Mistakes" came to be, I give my thoughts on some unanswered questions I am dying to know the answers to (Dan Levy please call me), and then I present some well deserved awards to some of our favorite characters. It doesn't get better than this, f*cked up fam! I will be taking a little hiatus, as I normally do between seasons, so don't miss me too much! Every time you see a tv show that f*cks you up, I know you'll think of me. xoxo Sources:Is Big Mistakes Based on a True Story?Dan Levy is making big mistakes (CBC News: The National Interview)Dan Levy's Phobia of Being Blackmailed into Organized Crime Inspired Big Mistakes (Extended) - The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

"We're all Rhodesia now" is more than a provocative statement—it's a warning rooted in one of the 20th century's most misunderstood stories. In this episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, Bryan Dawson sits down with Peter Hammond, who grew up in Rhodesia, to uncover the history of Rhodesia, the birth of Zimbabwe, and why its lessons are becoming increasingly relevant in America and across the Western world. From Ian Smith and the Bush War to communism, Western civilization, South Africa, and the idea of "Global Zimbabwe," this conversation explores one of history's most controversial—and consequential—stories.

"We're all Rhodesia now" is more than a provocative statement—it's a warning rooted in one of the 20th century's most misunderstood stories.

Join us on Patreon is the best way to support this podcast and skips ads forever! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastThis episode is a haunted triple feature.We open with two ghost videos sent in by viewers. First, a spirit allegedly caught darting through the background of a 1966 funeral in Ireland, footage that's been unsettling viewers for decades. Then a family in Mexico shares video of something even harder to explain: a creature's eyeball reportedly peering out at them from a crack in their wall.Then we go deep on one of the strangest true crime stories in American history. On July 7, 1908, twenty-year-old Hazel Drew took a walk down a secluded road in Sand Lake, New York, and was never seen alive again. Her body turned up floating in Teal's Pond days later, and the murder was never solved. More than a century later, people still say her ghost walks those same woods.But Hazel's story didn't stay buried. Her murder, and the legend of her ghost, directly inspired one of the most iconic characters in television history: Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks. We break down Hazel's real timeline, the suspects who were never cleared, the theories that still circulate today, and how a scary story told to a little boy named Mark Frost turned into a cult classic decades later.Ghosts on camera. An eyeball in the wall. And the true unsolved murder behind Twin Peaks. This one has it all.Got a ghost video, a haunted photo, or a local legend you want us to cover? Send it our way, we might feature it on the show! ghostmail@hauntedcitypodcast.com#TwinPeaks #HazelDrew #GhostsCaughtOnCamera #UnsolvedMystery #Paranormal #TrueCrime #Haunted #LauraPalmer

How does someone steal the Mona Lisa from the Louvre and simply walk away? And how did an even more brazen crew rob the same museum in broad daylight last year with just a cherry picker and some power tools?The real stories are stranger than Hollywood and best-selling author Noah Charney knows them all. One of the world's leading experts on art crime, he has advised museums, governments, and law enforcement agencies around the world.  It turns out that stealing priceless art is often surprisingly easy. It's turning the art into money that's nearly impossible.He explains:◼ How a thief had unwitting Louvre workers help him walk out of the Louvre with the Mona Lisa◼ How a brazen team used a cherry picker, power tools, and high-visibility vests to rob the Louvre in broad daylight◼ Why most real art thieves are nothing like the elegant masterminds portrayed in movies◼ How Napoleon turned art looting into an organized instrument of empire◼ Why criminals steal art and how they get themselves apprehended◼ How movies, fiction, and even the media can unintentionally help art criminals

A major lithium battery fire occurred in an overhead locker on a Virgin Australia Boeing 737 flight from Sydney to Hobart on July 21st, 2025. Whilst preparing the cabin for landing, the cabin crew were alerted to smoke, and the sounds of pops and hisses.A lithium battery fire is a cabin crew's worst nightmare. Because once one cell ignites, you risk something called Thermal Runaway, where the adjacent cells begin to overheat and ignite as well - causing the fire to spread quickly and uncontrollably. The key is too cool it down fast. But what if the lithium battery is hard to locate? And what if the aircraft is rapidly coming into land?In this true story, we hear about how the crew acted fast, and used both their extensive training, and their ability to think outside the box to save lives.Send us a text!

Bill Maher welcomes Amanda Knox to Club Random. Wrongly convicted and imprisoned in Italy for years before being exonerated, Knox has since reinvented herself as an author, advocate, and stand-up comic. She reflects on what prison actually does to people, the strange economy of cigarettes behind bars, why she rejects the idea that "everything happens for a reason," and how surviving incarceration reshaped the way she sees the world.Amanda and Bill also spar over free will, "pretty privilege," and whether AI is pushing humanity toward a future we can't control. Bill then opens up about the biggest regret of his younger years—and why wisdom always seems to arrive too late.

There's a whole big world out there that isn't about politics and Bill and his guests—from Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld to Jordan Peterson, Quentin Tarantino and Neil DeGrasse Tyson—talk about all of it.  For advertising opportunities please email: PodcastPartnerships@Studio71us.com ABOUT BILL MAHER Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last fourteen years on HBO's “Real Time,” Maher's combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 40 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher's uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.” Maher has written five bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” and most recently, “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass.” FOLLOW CLUB RANDOM https://www.clubrandom.com https://www.facebook.com/Club-Random-101776489118185 https://twitter.com/clubrandom_ https://www.instagram.com/clubrandompodcast https://www.tiktok.com/@clubrandompodcast FOLLOW BILL MAHER https://www.billmaher.com https://twitter.com/billmaher https://www.instagram.com/billmaher Learn more about your ad choices.

 My guest tells the story of his grandfather Benzion Malik, a man whose resilience and faith helped him rebuild his life and community after the devastation of World War II. Guided by the principle of Tikkun Olam—Repairing the World—Benzion believed in justice and left a lasting impact on all who knew him.At 21, Benzion was drafted into the Romanian Army in 1939. Over the next six years, he was forced to serve in three different armies, enduring hard labor, and abuse for his Jewish identity. He survived constant danger and relied on the kindness of strangers.After the war, Benzion walked 2,600 kilometers home, narrowly escaping death along the way. Despite returning to ruins, he was not defeated, choosing instead to help rebuild and inspire others for generations. https://martinbodekbooks.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show

I was a 17-year-old kid at a military academy, miserable, alone, and praying into the sky, honestly hoping some kind of extraterrestrial intelligence would answer. Instead, two strangers in civilian clothes walked past armed guards onto campus in a snowstorm at Valley Forge. What happened next rewrote my entire life story. How does a kid who got shipped off to military school as punishment end up having a supernatural encounter that changes everything? This is my full conversion story, the version I've never told in this much detail. In this episode I unpack the night I gave my life to Christ, the Kenneth Hagin "racehorse vs. donkey" analogy that explains why the new birth isn't a makeover but a complete change of nature, how my father, a half-Jewish, half-Gentile man who only knew religion as pain, eventually came to faith through watching my transformation, and why the renewing of your mind is the real unlock for the story God put inside you. Everyone has a story. Most people are trapped in the wrong one. If that's you, this episode will show you how to start rewriting yours.

Bill Maher welcomes British comedian Jack Whitehall for a conversation that starts with a World Cup conspiracy theory and only gets more unhinged from there. Somewhere between the soccer talk and the soul-baring, Jack admits he cried watching Deal or No Deal but worried he wouldn't cry when his daughter was born. They also dive into Jack's infamous Queen Elizabeth joke that sparked outrage across the UK, and the Michael Jackson sketch he prayed wouldn't air. Bill weighs in on surviving cancel culture, Woody Harrelson's legendary hangouts, the Beatles, dating before smartphones, and why comedians often find it easier to perform than to actually be themselves.

There's a whole big world out there that isn't about politics and Bill and his guests—from Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld to Jordan Peterson, Quentin Tarantino and Neil DeGrasse Tyson—talk about all of it.  For advertising opportunities please email: PodcastPartnerships@Studio71us.com ABOUT BILL MAHER Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last fourteen years on HBO's “Real Time,” Maher's combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 40 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher's uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.” Maher has written five bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” and most recently, “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass.” FOLLOW CLUB RANDOM https://www.clubrandom.com https://www.facebook.com/Club-Random-101776489118185 https://twitter.com/clubrandom_ https://www.instagram.com/clubrandompodcast https://www.tiktok.com/@clubrandompodcast FOLLOW BILL MAHER https://www.billmaher.com https://twitter.com/billmaher https://www.instagram.com/billmaher Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's show is a flashback to nearly one year ago, in which I begin with a clip of John MacArthur accidentally sharing (10!) falsehoods about the millionaire missionary, William Borden, from a sermon back in 1988. Then, after explaining which details MacArthur got wrong, I give my broader reflections on the topic. Last, I include a talk on William Borden that I gave at the Collegiate Reformed Fellowship back in March of 2024 in Moscow, ID, telling the true story of the Millionaire Missionary, William Borden, along with my personal connection to his amazing story.

Today we want to bring back an episode from our archives.  It's about a book that has real beach read vibes. There's a lot of water. It's a relationship drama. And it's also a daring story of survival.  “Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession and Shipwreck" made it onto the Book Review Top 10 Books of 2025 and the paperback edition just came out a few weeks ago. It tells the unbelievable story of a British couple in the 1970s who try to sail around the world. They're trying to reach New Zealand and they almost make it. But their boat gets capsized by a whale in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean and they're forced to survive there for quite a while.  Here is our conversation from last year with the author, Sophie Elmhirst.  Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
