Happy PotLuck Saturday! This week, we are joined by Heather Bifulco of Tidy Style. We talk about how organizing creates peace, if not happiness. How forcing yourself to organize can force you to assess the various pain points in your life that you are unaware of. We talk about how we underestimate the damage pain points do to our lives when they are added up. How organization begins with categorization and should always begin in the kitchen. And how visibility is accessibility—and the cure for all of our mismatched Tupperware. Happy PotLuck Saturday! We'll Talk Shawtly!

Podcast Transcript This is transcript auto-generated so please forgive any mistakes. INTRO (Joe Rawlinson): Today we are continuing our father of twins interview series with a father of three, including identical twin boys — plus they’re expecting their second set of twins. We discuss the differences between this twin pregnancy and the first one, some of the things they learned along their journey that they’re going to change or do the same with the second set of twins, and so much more today on the podcast. Today’s show is brought to you by my first book for dads of twins. It is called Dad’s Guide to Twins: How to Survive the Twin Pregnancy and Prepare for Your Twins. If you’re expecting twins, this is the perfect book to pick up to help you get through the pregnancy, know what to expect, some of the challenges that may be coming your way, and how to get ready and excited for those twins and get through those first couple months. You can pick up a copy at twindadbook.com. Today, I’d like to welcome to the show a fellow father of twins, soon-to-be father of twins again, and author of the book Rocket Science for Kids. Welcome to the show, Russ Newman. RUSS: Thanks for having me. JOE: Welcome, Russell. Tell us a little about your family right now — how many kids do you have, what are their ages, and what’s fun about this time of life? RUSS: Yeah, so let’s see. I have twin boys — identical — Lucas and Marcus, who just turned four. I have a daughter, Diana, who just turned two. And I also have a pair of fraternal twins due in October, so soon it’ll be a family of five. Me and my wife are both aerospace engineers. It’s super exciting. I just love my kids and I’m so happy that we’re going to have such a big family soon. JOE: That’s fantastic. My background’s in engineering too — computer engineering in college, more software. Aerospace always fascinates me, so I think that’s amazing that you and your wife were both in aerospace. That’s pretty cool. JOE: So when you found out that you would be having your first twins, what was the family situation like at that time? How did you react to that news? RUSS: I was secretly hoping for twins. I love kids. When my wife got pregnant and we went to our first doctor’s appointment for the ultrasound, I could tell that the ultrasound technician was being a little cagey. Then she told us it was twins. My wife started crying and I was so overjoyed. But yeah, it sort of threw us for a little bit of a loop because we lived at the time in a nice high-rise apartment in downtown Los Angeles. We’re like, “Okay, if we have two babies, we don’t have enough space, and we’re probably going to need the grandparents.” So we moved to El Segundo where we could have three bedrooms and let the grandparents stay with us. We had twins and grandparents help us out as my wife went through her maternity leave. Both of our workplaces were very supportive, and yeah, that got us through the first six months. JOE: That’s fantastic. Moving from the big city — were you still having to commute for work, or was there a remote work situation? RUSS: At the time, my wife was working remote and I actually got a new job in El Segundo. So it ended up being really fantastic — such a short commute. El Segundo is such a nice walkable city. I take my kids on walks every single day going outside. I love it. JOE: Are the twins in some kind of daycare or preschool right now? RUSS: Yeah, we’ve done a mix of au pairs and preschool. After the grandparents moved out in the first six months, we had an au pair from Brazil who stayed with us and helped us with all the childcare related to the twins. Then once my daughter was born, the boys were old enough to go to preschool — which actually happened to be right on our block so we could walk them to school. The au pair cared for Diana during the day. Now more recently, all three of them are eligible for preschool, so all three of them go. We do a fantastic morning walk that goes circuitously around the neighborhood — we get to look at bugs, look at plants — and then we just end the walk at preschool. Then I pick them up from school and cook them dinner. We’ve done a mix of preschool and au pair. The au pair program is fantastic. Going forward, it’ll be preschool plus grandparents, and then I’d probably say in six months or so, we’ll get another au pair to care for the new twins until they’re eligible to go to preschool around two or two and a half. JOE: That’s a great setup. For other twin parents interested in the au pair route, how did you go about finding someone that was a good fit for your family? RUSS: It’s sort of like interviewing someone for a job. The United States has a very structured program. You find a good agency and they’ll already have a vetted group of au pairs. Then you just sort of interview them — see if they’re a good fit for your family, if you vibe with them, if you think they’d be good with the kids. You chat and video chat and then you narrow it down. They’re going to be basically a family member living in your house for a year. We’ve done it with two au pairs and they both were fantastic, and both renewed for an extra year — two years and two years. What’s nice too is the first au pair helped us interview the second one, so they could talk in Portuguese directly and act as our references. It’s very economical compared to other forms of childcare like preschool, nannies, or daycare. We’ve done a mix of all of that — au pairs plus preschool plus grandparents — and it really lets us get the best of everything. JOE: Yeah, absolutely. Childcare is a huge expense. When you’ve got more than one kid in childcare, these creative solutions are actually more economical, which is fantastic. JOE: So you had the boys, and then you find out you’d be having your daughter. What was that transition like going from twins to having three? RUSS: Having the boys — the twins — was such a gauntlet that having the daughter, everything was a piece of cake. It’s so funny. Doing diapers was like, “Oh, it’s only 10 diapers a day, not 20 diapers a day.” There was a lot of challenge and sleep deprivation with the twins, but man, having one after two was so much easier. We didn’t even really need that much grandparents’ help. I think we went back to just 100% au pair care after two months and we were just back in the groove being super parents. JOE: You already know how to do so many different things with the twins that it’s just old hat to have only half as much work with the next one. RUSS: That’s right. JOE: So now as you look ahead to your next set of twins — what are some of the things where you’re like, “Okay, I remember this”? What are you looking forward to, or what challenges do you expect? RUSS: We had to do a lot of experimentation to try to get our routines in, and I think we’re a lot better about that now. One of our little life hacks — we’re engineers, so we actually have a full-size whiteboard, a wheel-around whiteboard we use for engineering diagrams. We made that our master schedule and note-taking system. We have a whiteboard in the living room, and we write down when they went down for naps, when we fed them, all the notes for all the shifts. Just used that for our cadence about what to do next. When our twins arrive, we’re going to break out our old bag of tricks and just survive. I think this next set of twins is going to be harder than the first, but we’ll just be more experienced about it. JOE: Did you keep any of the infant twin gear that you’ll be using again this time? RUSS: Yeah, we kept everything. We knew there was a small probability we’d have twins again, so we actually have two of everything and kept it all in storage — two car seats, the small infant car seats. We have all the little newborn sleep wrappers. We have tons of our bottles and everything. We also kept our twin stroller, the little tandem side-by-side stroller. So we’ll break that back out again. We only used about half of it when we had Diana, but we kept it all. JOE: That’s great. All our parents have their twins and then they’re like, “We’re never doing this again” — and then sometimes things work out a little differently. JOE: How was the division of labor between you and your wife and the au pair when you all got back to work? RUSS: It was a very regular schedule. The au pair basically handled the work hours when we would be at work. I took point on the mornings and evenings — I helped the kids wake up, my wife would cook breakfast, and then I would help get the kids to preschool. Around 8:30, the au pair would take over for Diana, and then we’d all leave for work. I would come back around 5:30, pick up the kids from preschool, and take over from the au pair. Then my wife would come home from work, we’d have dinner, and then we’d start the bedtime routine. JOE: Is there anything you would change with that now as you’re going to be going through that process again? RUSS: That battle rhythm seemed to be the best. Now that we have preschool in the mix, it’s going to be grandparents all-hands-on-deck for the first three to six months. After that, the older kids will go to preschool and the new twins will stay with the au pair during the day while we’re at work. I work from home now, so I have a lot more flexibility, which is really nice. When the boys were six months old and started with the au pair, it was really fantastic — they got so much private attention. She’d take the kids to the park once or twice a day, put them down for their nap, read them books, let them play in the living room, and help with all the laundry and tidying up kids’ toys, just really running a tight ship. I think the au pair really helped our kids be super social and fun because they get so much more outdoor time and one-on-one time compared to if they were at daycare. From six months to two years, they got so much more park time and fun time — and they love going to school now because they’re learning how to read. But it’s really fun just having them go to the park and swing. JOE: So now you’re two or three months away from having your next round of twins. Where are you in the pregnancy? RUSS: We just passed week 20. My wife just passed the halfway mark — a little more than halfway, because twins typically don’t make it all the way to 40 weeks. JOE: How many weeks were your boys born? RUSS: My wife’s an absolute trooper. They were born at 38 weeks and one day, and I think they were around six and a half pounds apiece, which was a very healthy weight for twins. JOE: That is really good — 38 weeks and good weight. Any complications with the first twin pregnancy? RUSS: In the beginning, just the usual stuff — nausea, lack of appetite. It was really good towards the end, though she grew very large. It’s not like she ate a basketball; it’s more like she ate a beach ball. It almost gets comedic how large your wife can grow. Really, the only hard part was the last week because of a lot of water retention and swelling in her hands and feet. The rest of it was just the normal being uncomfortable — not being able to eat, heartburn. But besides the last week, absolute trooper. We went in for delivery trying for a regular birth, but due to the water retention and swelling, we had to go for an emergency C-section. We had picked out a really good hospital with a great NICU and resources. When our doctor called for the C-section, the boys were out in 13 minutes. It was really fast. They gave us a little bit of a fright because they were getting distressed during delivery — not enough space for two very large babies. They actually spent two weeks in the NICU. They had to undergo what’s called therapeutic hypothermia, where because they were so distressed, they lowered their core body temperature and kept them essentially asleep for several days, then let them slowly warm up while being monitored. It really helps prevent brain damage or other after-effects from not having 100% oxygen delivery. Out of an abundance of caution, they went through the therapeutic hypothermia and slowly warmed up. It was really stressful and pretty scary for us. But after they were back and awake, they had so much energy and were wonderful little boys — no ill effects of any kind whatsoever from the birthing process. We’re very grateful for that. JOE: So in the moment, you had a change of plans from natural birth to emergency C-section. And then when they were born, it sounds like it looked like something was wrong. Is that what your experience was like? RUSS: Yeah, they were basically born unconscious. They were squirming around and having trouble, and they started tangling with the umbilical cord. So the doctor called for emergency C-section. 13 minutes later, one was out; one minute after that, the second one was out. Yeah, they were born unconscious, which was a little bit of a fright. But modern medicine — we were in a Level 4 NICU — and they did everything right. Absolutely no ill effects. We’re just so grateful to the doctors. And we plan to do the same thing this time around — give birth in a Level 4 hospital. JOE: Are you all trying for a vaginal birth or going straight to C-section this time? RUSS: No, we’ll try for vaginal birth again. Diana was born vaginally — my wife is absolutely fantastic. From start of pushing to baby being born was 57 minutes. We don’t know if we can do a vaginal birth again with the twins just because there might be more complications — more swelling, not enough room, other effects that just throw a wrench in our plans. But we’ll try for it and see how well they cooperate. JOE: So now you’re 20 weeks into this round — how have the pregnancies compared to each other, twin versus twin, or even twin versus singleton? RUSS: No problems right now. I’m sure the second half is going to be a lot harder than the first half. But my wife is starting to show now, breaking out more of her old clothes, wearing more blazers. She’s already told people at work, and she’s actually switching jobs — the new job also knows she’s pregnant. We’re just so grateful. It’s going to be really fun having our growing family. JOE: You mentioned moving from LA with the first kids. Are you having to move again or upsize your house, or are you going to fit everybody where you are? RUSS: No, we’re going to try to stay where we’re at, just so we’re close to the doctor. Our au pair is ending her contract, and that will free up our third bedroom for the grandparents, which really helps us. We have very economical rent, so we want to stay here as long as possible. All three of the kids actually sleep in the same room, and they absolutely love it. So it’ll be: me and my wife’s bedroom, the third room for the grandparents, and the middle room where the older kids sleep. We’ll have the new babies sleep in the bassinet in our bedroom for the first six months, and then we’ll have to figure out what to do after that. Probably more bunk beds in the kids’ room. JOE: Yeah, just make a big bunkhouse — a dormitory! RUSS: Exactly, yeah. JOE: For your first twins, the boys, were they in your room as well for those first several months? RUSS: Yeah, for the first six months they slept in the bassinets — the computerized bassinets, the SNOO. We absolutely love those. They were in our master bedroom: one on her side of the bed, one at the foot of my side of the bed. Then at six months they sort of outgrew that and we put them in the middle room. It’s sort of funny — in the beginning, we didn’t have any cribs. We did floor beds from IKEA, nice and firm, about four inches thick. We had two of them set on either side of the room, and they would take their naps there. But then they would always crawl across the room to go sleep with their brother. Every morning or every nap, we would find them both sleeping together. We eventually said, “Why do we have two floor beds? Let’s just make one.” And they kept sleeping in one floor bed in a big pile until I got them their bunk beds. It’s actually a really nice travel cot that’s also a bunk bed — we can bring it when we visit the grandparents. They rotate between the floor bed and either the top or bottom of the bunk bed, all in a big pile together. JOE: We had separate cribs too, but when our girls started getting older, they actually wanted to be in the same bed together for a while. It’s always fascinating with twins at that age — how they interact with each other. Like you mentioned, crossing the room to go sleep with each other. Very fascinating. We’d had singletons before, and they didn’t have that interaction — the squawking at each other, always wanting to be near each other, touching each other when they’re very young. That’s a fun part of twin parenting. RUSS: Yeah. For our kids’ room, we baby-proofed 100% of the room — that was actually one of our little life hacks. They had their floor bed and a small selection of toys. They would just wake up naturally at like 6 in the morning and either talk to each other, babble to each other, or crawl over and play with their toys. That could let us sleep until like 7 in the morning. Because we didn’t have cribs, we didn’t need to go get them out of a crib — they could just wake up on their own schedule and play. Then we would get them out at 7. JOE: That’s a great setup. I love how you created a safe room for them. It does give you some added benefits — they can be self-sufficient without you needing to move them from A to B all the time. JOE: Any other engineering masterpieces in your house that have been great for parenting? RUSS: We have our stroller. We always get compliments every time we go out. It’s a beast — a four-person stroller, literally the largest one I could ever find. It’s made by Keenz, a big four-kid wagon stroller. It weighs like 50 pounds, but it’s absolutely awesome. We take the kids to the air show and we have change of clothes, snacks, lunches, jackets — we can just toss it all in this giant wagon and have the kids on the bench seats. Our wagon has been such a trooper carrying three or four kids plus a bunch of gear. It’s getting pretty beat up and I’m probably going to buy a new one, but that giant monster of a wagon stroller has been a lifesaver. JOE: Yeah, that’s one thing that catches you off guard — how much stuff you need to take with you. It’s not just the kids, but the diaper bag supplies, snacks, change of clothes, everything. RUSS: We’ve gotten pretty light now that they’re four and two. Sometimes I can walk to our local farmer’s market with no diaper bag because they’re potty trained. All three of us just walk together, get some popcorn and some french fries, have some fun, then walk home. But once we have babies, we’re going to have a big reset with bottles and diapers and all that gear again. JOE: Yeah, somebody will be walking or wanting to push the stroller with the new babies, I’m sure. You mentioned potty training — any tricks that worked? RUSS: We read a really good book called Oh Crap! Potty Training. It doesn’t quite work in three days, but you can get like 75% of the way there in three days, which is actually really good. They were potty trained somewhere around two. Diana has been hitting her milestones always much faster than my boys. We found what they liked — Peanut M&Ms. We always had a little tiny Tupperware jar full of them. They always got one for going pee, two for going poop, and it was always tons of celebration and hype. What we did was a big ceremony over a three-day weekend — we called it “Big Boy No Diapers.” We got a box out and collected all the diapers in the house. They all threw them in the box, chanting “Big Boy No Diapers!” We gave them their underwear in a big fanfare, then took the box of diapers out and threw it away. On that weekend, we fed them as many snacks as we could. They were just around the house in their underwear. I got them miniature CamelBaks and filled them with water — we were just trying to get them to drink as much as possible. We fed them salty chips and tried to get them to go pee every 30 to 45 minutes, nonstop for three days. That was the kickstart to the potty training. From there on, they were about 75% potty trained. There’s a long tail — it takes a long time to get to 100% — but it was amazing to go from 20 diapers a day to only one or two accidents a day, then only a few accidents a week. And of course now they’re 100% potty trained. Big Boy No Diapers — ceremoniously throw all the diapers, do a big thing, get their big-boy underwear, make them wear their CamelBaks. So they’re running around on their scooters inside the house sucking on the little hydration hose. JOE: Yeah, that’s a great setup. JOE: So Russ, let’s talk a little bit about your book. You’ve written Rocket Science for Kids. What was the impetus for this book? RUSS: I’m a rocket scientist. I worked at SpaceX and a couple of other rocket companies, and I’m super interested in space. I had this idea — I have kids, I want to buy a book that talks about rockets. When I actually looked at what books were available and bought basically every book I could find, I found there was a missing segment. There’s a bunch of baby books that are very silly — “Rocket goes up, zoom!” — and there’s a bunch of books for middle schoolers with 200 words a page. There actually was no high-quality book meant for kids ages four to five that was a true introduction to rocket science. So I decided to make one. I asked my wife if I could do it and we agreed. It was a passion project. I had to go find an illustrator — interviewed a few, found one that I really jived with, really liked her art style. Then over the course of four years, I helped her do all the illustrations, dialed it all in, and created what I think is the best book on rocket science for young kids. It’s only a thousand words, 100% technically accurate, and has over 60 pages of full watercolor illustrations with animals explaining every single detail of rocket science. It’s full of totally real engineering. I started before the kids were born and only got to publish it last year. It’s really hard to make a children’s picture book, but I’m just so proud of it. I’ve been getting so many great reviews. My kids have seen every single version of it — as I drafted the book, I would show them the manuscript and edit each page. It’s really hard to explain rocket science in only a thousand words without getting into gibberish baby talk. JOE: Well, it’s not easy to write a book. It’s not easy to do that while raising small children, and it’s definitely hard to mix in rocket science and simplify concepts so they can be understood by children. So congratulations on the launch of your book and the good reviews you’ve had so far. If listeners want to pick up a copy, where should they go? RUSS: It’s available on Amazon and everywhere books are sold. I can also provide a link for the show notes where you can buy it direct from my publisher at a lower price than Amazon. JOE: Fantastic. I’ll link that up in the show notes for everybody listening so you can pick up your own copy and help those future rocket scientists. JOE: Russ, as we wrap up today — in addition to the book, if listeners want to connect with you, what’s the best way to reach out? RUSS: They can reach out to me on my personal website at russellnewman.com, or they can follow me on social media. I have the same handle everywhere, which is @RussReadsBooks — I’m most active on Twitter. JOE: Fantastic. I’ll link up to all that on the show notes as well so people can connect and reach out. Russ, thank you so much for sharing your story with us today. We really appreciate it. RUSS: Yeah, thanks so much.

This week we are casting revenge love spells after we get dumped in “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered”! We're talking how Joyce has Tupperware rotating in a circle in her mind, whether Giles was sitting there the entire time while Buffy seduced Xander, that the basement is Xander and Cordelia's special place, that Joyce is one step away from becoming Teena Mulder, and that sometimes you just have to run away about it. We wonder if Xander's true home is the bus depot, laugh at the increasingly cartoonish threats to Rat Buffy, get repelled by Joyce and Ted's pet names for each other, and put up a sign that says All Are Welcome EXCEPT Angelus. And if you need to comfort someone, just say the following words: “Dude. Way to get dumped!” It helps a lot. Send us an email at sunnydalenationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Instagram!

Drop us a line or two . . .Season five, and the queens are still at it. Queenie kicks things off solo while TT is dialing in from what sounds like an actual dream — lovely North Truro, Massachusetts, right on the water. Queenie is clearly dying to be there. The episode opens on something genuinely heady: a Vice article Queenie read about the "morbidity gap" — the growing distance between how long we live and how long we live *well*. Global life expectancy has climbed to nearly 74 years. Healthy life expectancy? About 63. For Americans, that gap has stretched to roughly 14 years — meaning a lot of people are alive on paper but grinding through chronic illness, disability, and pain for over a decade before the end. The queens land on the core problem immediately: modern medicine is fantastic at keeping people alive and not particularly great at keeping them *living*. TT brings up Atul Gawande's *Being Mortal* — a book both women clearly love — and the particularly brutal dynamic Queenie recalls from it: cardiologists who, because they *can* intervene, often feel compelled to, even when enough is enough. TT notes the healthcare staffing crisis layered on top of all this, and the conversation inevitably turns to the current administration's immigration policies gutting the workforce of people who showed up specifically to do those jobs. The whole thing lands somewhere between grim and galvanizing. Somewhere in the middle of all this, the two of them drift into what can only be described as an impromptu spoken word piece about the morbidity gap — trading lines about pills for the knee, stents for the artery, being saved from the dying but not from the living. It's part blues, part comedy roast of American healthcare, and it works. "They'll save you from the dying but they won't save you from the living" is just a line, delivered between two women riffing on a Massachusetts porch, and it lands harder than most things you'll hear in a week. The Wait Wait Wait What segment technically gets absorbed by the Tupperware conversation, which turns out to be surprisingly rich. Queenie makes the case — and it holds up — that younger women might not fully clock what Tupperware actually represented. In an era when women couldn't have their own credit cards, couldn't do the banking, had limited pathways to earning money outside the home, Tupperware parties weren't just about plastic containers with a satisfying burp seal. They were a mechanism for financial independence, schedule flexibility around domestic responsibilities, skill-building in sales and recruiting, and genuine social connection. The parties became a feature of life in the seventies, and TT remembers going to them as a young married woman. Mary Kay gets a mention — founded by a woman in her mid-sixties, which is its own kind of inspiration — and so does Pampered Chef, various home décor party schemes, and Amway (which, as Queenie notes, got a little sketchy). The throughline is women using what was available to them, even when what was available was modest, to carve out something of their own. TT's Choice — the segment where TT picks a number between one and seventy-five and gets a "what if" prompt — lands on number 74: *What if you could add one hour to every day that only you knew about? What goes in it?* TT doesn't hesitate long. Food, cannabis, and time with someone she loves who she doesn't get to see enough. Simple, honest, and a little heartbreaking. Queenie's answer is quieter: solitude, rejuvenation, a reset. Maybe the beach. She admits she's getting to the edge of worn down — grateful for work, glad for the people she's met, but running close to empty in a way that only a vacation can fix. TT, calling from said vacation, is not unsympathetic. Both of them notice that their answers centered on things that would genuinely nourish them — not productivity, not fixing anything for anyone else. As Queenie's mother apparently said: you can't take care of anybody else if you don't take care of yourself. Filed under: things we know and keep having to relearn. There's a brief detour into current events — gold-plated bridge statues installed to the tune of millions, forty-five Cadillac Escalades ordered for a motorcade, an Olympic athlete accused of vandalism in the reflecting pool who's now not being charged because it turned out to be an installation error. TT darkly considers what she'd do with a secret hour and some people she'd like removed from the world. Queenie plays dumb. Moving on. The Fucket List arrives, and TT's entry is: fuck it to wearing a bra. She's on vacation, she doesn't need the support (her words), and she'll wear a dark-colored t-shirt if her sons are around to spare them the trauma. Queenie, who has been going braless in her own house for years, is supportive of this development. The conversation evolves into a full taxonomy of bra policy by outfit type — buttons up, yes; hoodie, no; sundress, absolutely not — and a meditation on gravity, what it does to even modest amounts of breast tissue, and why it's surprising even when you had no real expectations to begin with. From there, the episode drifts into the sweet, slightly rueful territory that this show does so well: the disconnect between what your mind thinks your body can still do and what your body actually does. Queenie is thinking about going to the Cape and already mentally swimming out to a buoy, hauling herself up onto a platform, doing the kinds of things that once required zero advance planning. TT counters that they feel *young* when they're there. Ageless. And that's both the gift and the danger. They swap kayak stories — TT's sister flipping hers while getting out and landing knee-deep in water while TT sat on the beach laughing instead of helping, Queenie's sister stuck in an agonizing cross-country ski split in their mother's backyard while Queenie kept filming and offering no assistance whatsoever. Emergency response systems: fully offline. Comedic response systems: fully operational. The episode wraps warm — Queenie telling TT to enjoy herself, TT telling Queenie to hang in there, she'll be there soon. Queenie can't wait. After the official sign-off, Queenie overshares a little local history: Wolf Road used to be a two-lane farm road. The land behind her mother's house was once a pig farm and meat packing company. You could smell them making the bacon. She doesn't know why she feels compelled to reveal ancient history. She just does. Same, Queenie.

Juliet and I have told pieces of this story over the years, but we've never sat down and told the whole thing from the beginning. This episode, I'm turning the tables and interviewing Juliet, because the full arc of how she ended up getting launched twelve feet into the air by a hippo on the Zambezi River is too good to tell any other way.It starts in the late 1990s, when Juliet was a D1 rower turned wilderness river guide in California: fit, competent on Class IV water, and completely unaware that a tryout on the Kern River was about to drop her onto one of the most storied women's extreme whitewater teams in the world. We're talking Kelly Califadich, Julie Munger, Beth Rippins, Sue Norman, Brooke Winger, Rebecca Rusch: true legends of the sport. Juliet was the youngest, the least experienced, and by Rebecca's nickname for her, the MEAT in the middle of the boat. What she had was athletic horsepower, the right mindset, and no real concept yet of what she'd signed up for.Winning nationals meant an all-expenses-paid trip to the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe for the 1997 World Championships. Two weeks of daily training in the Batoka Gorge: daily flips in Class V rapids, giardia, massive crocodiles between rapids, and a hundred-degree grueling hike in and out of the canyon every single day. Followed by a race they won. Then, because they'd budgeted a full month in-country, the team tacked on a five-day canoe safari at Mana Pools, Juliet's mom Janet included. Flat water. Wildlife. A chance to decompress.Emphasis on WILDlife.What Juliet describes about the moment of the hippo attack (the sound, the air, looking down into the open mouth of a four-thousand-pound animal) is something I still think about. And what she did in the seconds after hitting the water is the reason she's here to tell it.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat it actually took to make a women's extreme whitewater World Championship team in the late 1990s — and why the word "extreme" matteredHow high-volume rivers like the Zambezi differ from the Class IV whitewater most people have experienced, and why that gap is bigger than it soundsWhat two weeks of daily training in the Batoka Gorge looks like: the hike in, the carnage, the giardia, and what finally made the flipping stopWhy hippos kill more people in Africa than almost any other large animal — and what makes their attacks so difficult to surviveWhat Juliet's guide told the team in the safety talk before the canoe safari, and why the locals already knew not to be thereThe split-second decision Juliet made in the water after the attack — and why years of river guiding made the differenceWhy a lifetime of athletic competition and high-stakes environments still didn't prepare Juliet for this particular kind of fearWhat "primal terror" actually feels like, and how it's different from the adrenaline fear of running a dangerous rapidKey Highlights: (00:00) Kelly sets up the episode: an interview with Juliet about a story that shaped their life together(00:45) How they met at the Extreme Whitewater World Championships in Chile, including Kelly's infamous Class V swim(01:53) What made this sport extreme: Camel Cigarette sponsorships, helicopter carnage footage, and Class V rivers worldwide(04:28) Juliet's four World Championship venues: the Zambezi, Reventazon, Orange River, and Futaleufú(06:26) The legendary women's team: Kalafatich, Munger, Rippins, Norman, and Rebecca Rusch(09:07) Juliet's origin story: D1 rowing at Berkeley, chasing a tan, and becoming a wilderness river guide(12:01) The tryout on the Kern River and the Monday phone call that changed her life(15:08) Winning nationals means Zimbabwe: understanding high-volume rivers for the first time(21:18) Two weeks in the Batoka Gorge: daily flips, giardia, crocodiles, and finding the Nyaminyami(29:42) Winning the World Championship and the greatest French fries of Juliet's life(32:42) The Ready State Mobility Coach(32:47) The canoe safari plan: five days on the lower Zambezi at Mana Pools, with Janet, Juliet's Mom(36:31) Gary's safety talk: machetes, three guns, hippos, crocs, lions, and snakes(38:31) Days one and two on the river: crocodile wakes, hippo pods, and the Jumanji paddle bang(41:57) Hippo City or Hippo Bronx: the democratic vote that nearly cost Juliet her life(45:40) The attack: a sound like a gunshot, launched 12 feet into the air, and swimming for their lives(50:17) Stranded on a Cape Buffalo island, Tupperware canoe repair, and three silent days to the takeout(57:13) Juliet can't be beat at the "share an interesting fact" ice-breaker game(58:24) Primal fear and why Juliet will never do a canoe safari again(59:36) Reacting under extreme pressure, not freezing in the moment(1:02:33) Hippo shrine
You'd think the dirtiest air you breathe all day is outside, but Mike Feldstein showed me it's the opposite. The average home is usually 5 to 10 times dirtier than the air outside, and since the 1970s we've built homes airtight for energy efficiency, so every new couch, rug, and coat of paint off-gasses right where you live. In a study of 150 people, just cleaning the bedroom air got them 25 more minutes of sleep a night and 18% more deep sleep. If you've been waking up tired, foggy, or congested and can't figure out why, don't start with your bloodwork. Start with the tank you're living in.

Um regresso esperado por milhões de pessoas. André, homem magro proveniente da Guarda, junta-se a Pedro naquele que é, como é sabido, o último episódio antes do regresso às aulas em Setembro. Um episódio recheado de diversão, algo visível na thumbnail, nos timestamps e no próprio vídeo em si. Pedro não só foi ver o novo filme de Nolan, como também viu um tik tok que o deixou tristíssimo. (André não tinha visto nenhuma das obras) A ida da célebre rubrica “Conversas com a Gorda” ao programa matinal do Cláudio Ramos não correu como esperado. De uma forma expectável, Fernando Pimenta - homem muito fã de Salazar, não só do ex-primeiro-ministro como também do formato do utensílio de cozinha, visto que utiliza remos na sua profissão - fez um post espetacular no Facebook. Além de tudo isto, os dois comediantes, imbuídos pelo espírito casamenteiro de verão, planeiam o seu próprio casamento. Aproveitando a palavra imbuído (Pedro só se apercebeu neste momento que se escreve com “i” e não com “e”), esta descrição de episódio está muito muito longa, em forma de celebração de último episódio, mesmo não havendo muitas pessoas a ler. Já agora, aqui como quem não quer a coisa, só para nós que estamos aqui: Agosto tem tido sempre uma brincadeira especial de surpresa que não é bem surpresa, e este ano não é exceção.(00:00) Intro(00:23) Finalmente o fim de Mercúrio Retrógrado(04:21) Pilates é um ótimo investimento(06:02) Quando descalcificar a máquina de café?(09:33) A marca Tupperware faliu mesmo?(10:45) Derivações da palavra calote(13:02) Fazer TikToks a apelar a comentários de marcas(14:22) Pedro foi ver "A Odisseia", André ainda não mas quer ir(16:11) O que anda a fazer Ulisses Morais hoje em dia(17:29) Ter hype com o filme depois de o ver(20:56) O problema dos filmes com 3 horas(23:36) O que Pedro gostava de ter sabido antes de ver "A Odisseia"(26:18) Momento preferido do filme (sem spoilers)(28:26) Tudo já foi feito no geral(30:22) "A Odisseia" foi todo filmado em IMAX(32:29) Budget e duração das filmagens(37:36) Pedro não viu "A Odisseia" num cinema IMAX(42:04) Conteúdo orgânico promove melhor o filme do que joguinhos com os atores(45:15) Ir ao cinema e não comer pipocas(46:38) Pedro e André vivem a wedding season!(49:25) Como seria o casamento entre Pedro e André?(51:12) Entrada do noivo e da noiva na igreja(54:02) Momento de mandar o bouquet(55:43) Copo de água: comida e bebida(57:50) Entrada dos noivos no jantar(59:30) Momento do discurso(01:02:22) Momento da ceia(01:03:01) PTM tenta subornar DJ em casamento(01:07:24) Terminar o Mundial a odiar um bocadinho mais a Argentina(01:11:09) Vozinha tem de parar de fingir que não sabe o número de seguidores no Instagram(01:12:17) "Conversas com a Gorda": análise da entrevista de Cristina e Cláudio Ramos(01:23:55) GRWM para ir ao Estoril Open(01:28:56) Misturar dois perfumes(01:33:31) Continuação da análise do GRWM para ir ao Estoril Open(01:36:20) Fernando Pimenta faz post louco (canadiano retrógrado)(01:39:51) Novas notas do euro!
This episode is an unscripted, freewheeling conversation between two longtime friends who leap from 1980s nostalgia to current oddities in less than a minute. They riff on everything from boomboxes, Atari consoles and encyclopedias to Tupperware parties, mini-blinds and VHS/Betamax memories. Interspersed are frank, bawdy jokes about marriage, sex and aging, plus shout-outs about World Cup drama and local radio stations. The hosts also briefly mention supporting the Lupus Foundation, swap childhood recall and trade off punchy one-liners. Expect rapid-fire tangents, affectionate ribbing and a warmth that makes the chaos feel like a late-night living-room chat.

Have you ever wondered why one trip, one bad week, or one schedule disruption can throw you off track for an entire month? You start strong, you're feeling great, and then... life happens. Suddenly you're back at square one, wondering what's wrong with you. Here's a little secret: nothing is wrong with you. In this episode, I'm sharing a story about a client who recently traveled out of the country, completely out of her routine, and bounced back in days instead of weeks. I asked her what was different this time, and her answer surprised me. We're talking all about consistency for moms today, and why it has way less to do with willpower than you've been told. If you've ever felt like you're the only one who can't seem to stick with anything, even when you do everything "right," this episode is for you. I'm also sharing a parenting story that has nothing to do with fitness on the surface, but it taught me more about consistency in a way I haven't thought about it before. Plus, I'll leave you with one simple action item you can try this week, no apps, no new programs, no Tupperware required. If you're tired of starting over and ready for something different, you're going to want to hear this one. -Rachel Next Steps: Free 100-Gram Protein Cheat Sheet Book a Free Discovery Call to learn about the Fat Loss Formula Coaching Program

Lukey Ryan loves to operate with time and space, but even he never thought he'd get to take a leisurely stroll in the park and stop for a cup of tea during a game! Time to Restump Podcast the tiptoeing through the tulips win over the Kangas. The Kangaroos just absolutely skedaddled. It was as if Luke Ryan was on the back of 4X4, armed with a spotlight and a Winchester! Was there divine intervention? Not since Moses parted the Red Sea has a safe and spacious passage to the promised land inexplicably appeared!It was a remarkable record tumbling day down at Bunbury, brought about by the contributions of both teams. You don't win 12 straight if you're not a serious outfit, but you don't destroy any opponent by 120+ points, hold them to just 3 behinds in a second half and put on 19 goals on the bounce without their deficiency assistance. However, at the same time, you can't manage such a feat if you're not rolling out an airtight functioning system and combining it with a relentless worth ethic and an insatiable hunger. Is there another ruckman in the league whose teammates willingly handball to? Maybe Brody Grundy but it'd still be due to a lack of comparable options. Hayden Young's first thought is ‘get the ball to Luke Jackson!' Even Luke Jackson's first thought when he gets his own ball is to handball to Luke Jackson! He is the AFL player prototype and unless there's a relaxing of the ethics and laws around cloning, he's going to remain a one-of-a-kind collector's item. We gotta talk Sammy Switkowski. JL's Einstein, the sharpest man in the west and I'm pretty sure a former Sale of the Century showcase winner! He's taken 9 injury plagued seasons to get to 117 games and he's potentially in his career best form. His work rate is unquestionable and on Saturday he saw personal reward with an equal career high three goal feat, something he has now managed three times. With two of those occasions coming this year, he's a vital piece of the September puzzle.I know we've won twelve on the bounce, we're twelve and one for the year, we're top of the tree, a game clear of Syndey in second, three and a half games and thirty percent ahead of the Hawks in third and 3/1 favourites for the flag…. but, for mine, the hype from all corners of the industry is a little uncomfortable. There is an unwanted element of forgone conclusion commentary about us and it's just a little bit unnerving. Yes, the ship has to leave the safety of the harbour at some stage but that means navigating unchartered waters! Give me back our comfortable underdog status, remove the intense magnified focus and let us return to our familiar footing of flying under the radar! Oh, who am I kidding, it's like a Tupperware container…. even if you could find the lid, there is no putting the lid on it. The lid is so far off, we can't even see the lid! The lid is in outer space! So, we live now, we throw cautious optimism to the wind and go mental enjoying the thrilling journey and we worry about any possible unwanted consequences if or when they arrive.We'll all take a breather over the bye, but before then, there is still plenty of purple praise to promulgate. So, put on your pants, pour yourself a piccolo, pitch in, park yourself on a plush perch, press play and partake in the purple prattle on the pod. Send us Fan MailSupport the show
The crew rings in Joe's 41st birthday by skipping out on WeHo Pride to stay home in total comfort. Between celebrating Sam Reed's magnificent, boundary-pushing return in Interview with the Vampire and analyzing the high-society trauma of Keke Palmer breaking Lisa Kudrow's mind at a Hollywood roundtable, this episode quickly descends into a support group for Coral's utter devastation at the hands of a corporate-sanitized watermelon festival. This Week's Insanity:LotZilla Prep: Getting ready for the June 20th market with barbecue and "Big Dog Steven," while Coral gets thoroughly roasted for confusing potato gnocchi with cake ganache. Pride Festival Nostalgia: The group tracks the chaotic social media highlights of WeHo Pride, from Ashlee Simpson's performance to a three-member Pussycat Dolls set that sounded suspiciously like a standard karaoke track. Vampire Bus Showers: Gushing over the brilliance of Interview with the Vampire Season 3, the absolute baller status of having a shower in the middle of a moving tour bus, and the looming narrative horror of Lestat's family tree. Roundtable Traumas: Breaking down the viral Hollywood Reporter Emmy Roundtable where Keke Palmer dropped a casual Two Girls One Cup reference out of nowhere, entirely derailing Quinta Brunson and Hannah Einbinder. Coral's Corner (The Glory Hole Lies): Coral details her extreme heartbreak after packing a duffle bag full of Tupperware for the annual Watermelon Festival, only to find a $20 parking fee, a complete ban on free fruit, and a tragic $8 warm syrup abomination. Movie Brain: Coral tries to defend her deep love of cinema in the new horror movie Obsession at the AMC Americana. Loose, chaotic, and completely unpermitted, this episode is a weekly reminder to always check your formatting and never trust an optimized festival flyer. New episodes every week. Only at Revenge Of — where the gnocchi is savory, the car rides are quiet, and the watermelon should be entirely free.

Drop us a line or two . . .This episode opens the way the best ones do — mid-ramble, mid-life, totally unrushed. Queenie and TT kick things off with a digression about estate sales and thrift shops, specifically the unsettling realization that the stuff of their childhoods is now being tagged and priced at church basements across America. Harvest gold Tupperware. Avocado canisters. Country geese with blue bows around their necks. Roosters. Wallpaper you could strip with a steam iron and seventeen years of your life. They're not mourning exactly — more like doing that thing where you laugh because the alternative is sitting with the actual weight of time passing, and who has the energy for that.Queenie is riding a sativa-leaning hybrid from Ghost (a brand she's clearly developing brand loyalty to), and TT is working through a hummy gummy situation. Both are in decent spirits. TT has also been gifted, by her son and his partner, a book called *420 Things You Can Draw While High*, which has become a legitimate source of joy — she drew a Girl Scout brownie in a crystal sundae dish, which is genuinely perfect, and a spliff rocket, because she knows how to make a spliff and wanted to put that knowledge to use. Queenie suggests she share her drawings on the pod. We are on board with this.From there, the news portion arrives, and it's a bummer, as news tends to be. TT brings up a Louisiana bill signed by the governor that tacks on up to a year in jail and a thousand-dollar fine for anyone caught smoking, vaping, or consuming cannabis within two thousand feet of a school — which, given how schools are distributed across a populated state, essentially means a significant chunk of private homes qualify. Dorms too. Both women note the particular absurdity of layering additional criminal penalties onto something that's already illegal in Louisiana, seemingly in service of a "drug-free school zone" philosophy that has historically functioned less as child protection and more as an excuse to put people back in jail. Queenie points out that New York allows cannabis consumption anywhere cigarettes are permitted, and both agree that the Louisiana approach has a lot more to do with politics and performative toughness than any genuine public safety interest.This slides, as it reliably does on this pod, into broader political territory. E. Jean Carroll comes up — TT and Queenie both clearly appalled by what they're watching unfold with the retaliatory lawsuit behavior. Then: the Kennedy Center, the gilded bronze horses on the Arlington bridge (twenty-two-point-four carat gold, paid for by taxpayers, which Queenie cannot get over), the reflecting pool, the UFC fighting ring being erected on federal grounds, the music festival that now apparently features Kid Rock and a lot of empty slots. Queenie delivers what may be the episode's thesis: "There is no bottom for this guy. There is no bottom." They eventually, consciously, make themselves stop. There is a lot they could say. They choose not to spend all their energy there.Then comes TT's Choice, the either/or/what-if game. TT pulls number 33: *What if you could unmeet one person from your life? No hard feelings, they just never happened.* TT goes first and doesn't hesitate long — she wants to unmeet Lou, a man who entered her family's life as a business partner for her husband and proceeded to steal the company out from under him. She's still carrying rancor about it. She admits she was charmed by him at the initial meeting — charismatic, smooth talker — and believes she might have talked her husband out of the deal if she'd never met the man. Queenie nominates a former daughter-in-law, and the word she uses is "unredeeming," meaning the person brought nothing — nothing — into the lives of anyone around her. Whole family affected. She doesn't need much time to arrive at this answer either.What's interesting is where the conversation goes after the nominations: both women start circling the idea that holding onto this kind of bitterness is, functionally, still letting those people win. Queenie quotes her mother — "he who angers you controls you" — and means it. They land somewhere honest: it's hard to let go, but anger takes energy, and energy is finite and worth protecting. TT resolves to do a little ceremony. Burn something in effigy. Smudge it out. They've both mostly let it go, mostly. The "mostly" is doing a lot of work there, and they know it, and that's okay.The Fuck It List lands on high heels, and it's a full prosecution. TT wore chunky heels to an outdoor ceremony recently — had to dig them out from the top of the closet, climb a stool to reach them — and spent the day tottering around paying for it. Her new Skechers have elastic laces and she is evangelical about them. Queenie surrendered heels years ago on account of her feet and has not looked back. Together they trace the whole origin of the heel as a beauty construct: it's about making women's legs look longer, which is about appealing to the male gaze, which connects to makeup, to plastic surgery, to everything related to looking "good"!

It took a while for women to enter the salesforce, but once they did, oooh, watch out. Mary Kay, in particular, had a genius for sales, which she turned into an empire that exists to this day. Although the company largely sells skin care, Mary Kay also sold inspiration, a better life, transformation. As a pop-historical figure, she's part self-help guru, part social media influencer, part girlboss — but entirely a self-made woman.We talk about the resilience of 20th-century women who cared less about having the correct politics and more about feeding their family, the line between opportunity and exploitation, and (of course) those pink Cadillacs.Also discussed:* “I like women. Nancy is undecided.”* The power of a good sob story* Yankee peddlers!* Mary Kay seminars: Where tent revival meets Las Vegas floorshow* Billy Graham put himself through divinity school as a Fuller Brush salesman* Want to come over and see my new dust mop?* Mary Kay had six husbands* The Night of the Mary Kay Commandos* The founder of Tupperware was actually someone named “Tupper”* Also, Mr. Tupper thought he was the Leonardo DaVinci of his time* Pink bathtubs as aspirational* Did your grandmother work?* Is Mary Kay a Ponzi scheme?* The power of a “thank you” notePlus, Sarah learns the definition of “pin money,” Nancy creams over a new tinted moisturizer, Mary Lisa's dream of Aix-en-Provence includes hunting dogs, and much more.Gee, that paid subscription looks good on you ..

He gained recognition for his diverse range of opera, show hits, and traditional tunes, like the National Anthem. Kyle joins Anna and Raven to discuss his changing life. Pick em news! Hear 3 news headlines; Raven picks one to hear the whole story! 1. Teens arrested after riding lawn mowers through target. 2. women weaponized swarm of bees against deputies trying to carry out eviction. 3. welfare check on 91 leads police to shocking discovery! Annas Oura ring is not happy... again. She thought it would cure her, but it made her feel kind of bad about herself. And her cocktail intake. It really spoke to her today, though. Sydney Sweeney and her boyfriend Scooter Braun made festival goers very upset at StageCoach this weekend after perching herself on his shoulders for the concert. Producer Justin (6'4 ½) gives his stance on shoulder sits in crowds. Scary bosses. Not fun. Miranda Priestly style. Anna and Raven discuss times they were genuinely terrified by the higher ups at a job. Anna's daughter, Hayden, got a taste of her own medicine after having to take home a baby doll for a school project. It cries, and she must find the problem. Anna was fuming however, when Hayden powered it down to sleep. Anna couldn't power down Hayden because she was a colic baby. Dr. Clare Cardo Mckegney give all her tips and tricks on colic and steps you can take to ease the pain. 4 days at a job? After a very popular White Lotus cast member left after 4 days, Anna and Raven discuss the shortest amount of time ever spent at a job. How soon is too soon? Over the weekend, Jessa and Liam attended a dinner party at his best friend's home. Jessa brought her own dinner in a Tupperware container. He thought it was odd, but whatever, she's on a diet and wants her “health” food- but now his best friend has called him, his friend's wife is insisting that she get an apology. She found it offensive that she would bring food, just for herself, to a dinner party. Jessa says that the truth is that the woman is a terrible cook, her house is filthy, and it's bad enough she must go there and sit for hours, but half the time she won't eat her food anyway. Jessa's not going to apologize for bringing her own dinner. Liam says she's being mean and should apologize to keep the peace with the friends. Jessa refuses, she told him to “lie and say I have celiac or something”. Whose side are you on? It's Redemption Week on Can't Beat Raven, all week it's the last five players that have tied Raven with five correct answers, their shot at redemption.

All she has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can't Beat Raven!
If you've heard me talk about autonomy, equality, and lowering demands before and thought, "But what does that actually look like at the dinner table?" — this episode is for you.This is the third episode in my series on eating and PDA, and it's the most practical one yet. I'm walking you through six concrete accommodations you can experiment with if your PDA child or teen struggles with restrictive eating: autonomy, equality, lowering demands, sensory accommodations, strewing, and novelty and dopamine. Throughout the episode, I share anonymized client anecdotes and real examples from my own life as a mother of two PDA sons — including how our family navigated mealtimes during the hardest years and what things look like now.This episode is meant to be an experiment you can try out and observe, not a prescription. I hope it it's helpful for you.Key TakeawaysWhy Restrictive Eating Happens | 00:00:00 Before getting into the practical tips, I revisit the causal logic for why eating is so often impacted in PDA children and teens. Control around eating tends to be the outcome of cumulative nervous system stress, and is often an attempt to reset autonomy and equality when a child can't find it in other areas of their life.Autonomy Around What, Where, When, How, and If | 00:03:43 I break down autonomy into five buckets — what, where, when, how, and if a child eats — and explain how each one shows up in practice. This includes examples from my own home, like allowing my son to eat in front of a screen for years, delivering food on demand, offering a buffet of options, and giving treats before or with meals without attaching conditions.Equality and Why It Matters at the Table | 00:22:41 I walk through what I mean by equality as a nervous system accommodation around food — not as a philosophical concept, but as something you can observe and act on. I share the story of how our family friend houseguests helped re-establish family dinners, and how my son Cooper started joining us at the table by running a drawing game where he was the judge and ranked all of us — an equality accommodation I sustained for about a year.Lowering Demands and the Sensory Intersection | 00:27:56 I explain what lowering demands actually means in the context of eating: doing things for your child they could technically do themselves, in service of helping them access food. I share examples like packing a 16-year-old's lunch, delivering pizza reheated to the exact right temperature, cutting crusts off bread, and wiping out Tupperware to eliminate even a molecule of moisture.Strewing, Novelty, and Dopamine | 00:35:51 I cover strewing — leaving food out without expectation — and why it works differently from direct offerings. I also share how we used novelty and dopamine in my son's feeding therapy, including a "game show" approach to sampling every variety of apple, and cutting apples into stars or making apple pasta with a Zoodler. I end with my hypothesis about why PDA individuals tend to seek dopamine, and what that means for how we can think about introducing foods.Relevant ResourcesWhat Is PDA — Background on PDA as a nervous system disabilityUnderstanding PDA — Deeper dive into PDA frameworks and accommodationsParadigm Shift Program — Our signature live coaching program where we walk with families as they implement accommodations and move their family forward.

Kermit Gosnell, the abortionist and serial killer who butchered and killed women and babies for 30 years, has died in prison.We broke the story in our Substack (linked below) on Monday, and we have devoted all of this week's podcast to covering his life and crimes and honoring his victims. It's an important story.We knew Gosnell well. We covered his trial in Philadelphia, interviewed him in prison, and had dozens of jailhouse phone calls while researching the book, podcast, and movie we produced about his life and crimes.Gosnell was convicted in 2013 of murdering three infants born alive during illegal late-term abortions, whom he then killed by cutting their spinal cords with scissors. Gosnell was also found guilty of killing 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, a refugee from Bhutan who died from a lethal overdose of anesthesia administered by unlicensed staff in his abortion clinic.When he died, Ann released a statement about meeting and talking with the monster that was Kermit Gosnell:“It was tough but it was a very, very important piece of journalism. Meeting Gosnell was one of the few times in my journalism career that I felt I was face to face with evil.“Gosnell is gone, but we should take time to think of the thousands of innocent babies who were his victims. They lived for a short period of time but must not be forgotten. They achieved some measure of justice with Gosnell's prosecution and incarceration.“I think in particular of Baby Boy A, who was so big that even Gosnell's workers were shocked by the barbarity of his killing and took a photo of him after he was murdered. He shook their hardened hearts. Baby Boy A lived for about an hour before he was killed. The picture of him curled up in a Tupperware container helped seal Gosnell's fate and ensured he'd never kill again. That heartbreaking picture has also meant that I'm not the only one who will never forget Baby Boy A.“I'm also thinking of the two women who needlessly died in Gosnell's diabolical clinic. Karnamaya Mongar, who came to this country as a refugee after living a life of danger in Bhutan. She came to America for refuge but four months later was dead at the hands of Gosnell.“And Semika Shaw, the young Black mother who tragically died after a botched abortion at the hands of Kermit Gosnell.“Their deaths were also caused because of bureaucratic incompetence and the liberal political imperative to shield abortion and abortionists from criticism.“These women were sacrificed for Progressive politics. Karnamaya Mongar and Semika Shaw were minorities in a city that claimed to care. It turns out Black Lives didn't Matter after all.”This week, we look at the life and crimes of Kermit Gosnell with the man who put him behind bars. It's an amazing episode that you won't want to miss.. You can hear Gosnell's voice defending the indefensible, along with interviews with his surviving victims and those who put him behind bars, in our top-ranking podcast on the case: Serial Killer: A True Crime Podcast (linked below).We also co-wrote and produced the movie about the case starring Dean Cain and directed by Nick Searcy.Links:To read our Substack article breaking the news of Gosnell's death, click here: https://phelimmcaleer.substack.com/p/exclusive-kermit-gosnell-is-deadTo read the grand jury's testimony from Gosnell's trial, click here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/URLs_Cited/OT2015/15-274/15-274-1.pdfTo donate, please click here: https://unreportedstorysociety.com/To subscribe to our Stories.io Substack, please click here: https://phelimmcaleer.substack.com/To buy our book and learn more about the crimes of Kermit Gosnell, click here: https://www.amazon.com/Gosnell-Untold-Americas-Prolific-Serial/dp/1621578585/ref=monarch_sidesheet_titleTo Donate:https://secure.anedot.com/unreported-story-society/cf0cdeea5333b147798ffTo read our latest Substack article:https://tinyurl.com/5669t96h
