With Jen's support, Dawson returns to Dr. Weir's office and finds out a lot: she thinks his panic attacks might be about more than just Mitch's death; he's entitled to be angry at Mitch even though he's dead; and, oh yeah, she's played by a pre-NCIS Pauley Perrette, looking just plain wrong as a blonde (yes, even with very dark roots). While Audrey gets a lovestruck film geek to help her with her audition tape for The Real World Ibiza, Joey gets deep into the Rose Lazar archive. You wouldn't think the two could have anything to do with each other but, preposterously, they do. And as the restaurant prepares to celebrate a big anniversary, Pacey tells Karen he knows, which only makes his job there more complicated.

Life must have been at least a little frustrating for our Old Master on today's show. His name was Walter Weir. He was a very active and successful copywriter and advertising professor, but he must have constantly run into resistance along the way, since so many of his ideas were ahead of their time. Walter Weir was born in 1909 and he died in 1996. He published a couple of books which are nearly impossible to find today. Maybe the publisher, my old employer McGraw-Hill, took them out of print quickly because the ideas were so far ahead of their time that they didn't sell very well. I don't know. What I do know is I was fascinated by his ideas. Here are 5 takeaways from an exploration of Weir's writings and thinking, from today's show: 1. Write copy that you truly believe, because people can feel it when you don't. When you don't believe it, your reader won't either. And if your reader doesn't believe it, they won't buy. 2. Use words that people can FEEL as well as merely understand. Forget about clever word-plays. Say stuff they can feel in their bones. 3. If you've got a group going over the copy, write the copy yourself. By yourself. Just you. While a committee can review, only one voice can lead. 4. Forget about features and benefits. Instead, present a description of something someone would feel good about using. People don't tend to buy just to HAVE something. They buy to FEEL something. 5. Cut everything that doesn't sound like something a real person would actually say. Because unless it sounds like a human, it won't reach one. Download.

We look back at the late Bob Weir's journey, from the formation of the Grateful Dead to his years with Dead and Company.

Silver, often overshadowed by gold in mainstream financial discussions, is positioned as a profoundly undervalued asset due to decades of market manipulation by powerful entities like JP Morgan through tactics such as “Operation Silver Slam” and naked shorts on the COMEX. According to Bix Weir, this rigging has suppressed silver’s true price, but its critical role in emerging technologies, particularly solar energy where demand has surged over 400% in recent years with new innovations like TOPCon cells requiring more silver per watt, underscores its misallocation and potential as an unparalleled investment. Weir envisions a future where a global market meltdown forces reforms, meeting 17 key requirements for a freely traded silver market, allowing its value to soar in a post-cabal economy, while X22 Report highlights silver alongside gold as key indicators of shifting financial control away from central banks. The economic transition unfolding globally is depicted as a battle between the failing old guard of central banks and a rising new system championed by figures like Trump, who is implementing tariffs, exposing fraud, and targeting the Federal Reserve for dismantlement. X22 Report portrays this shift as the exposure and collapse of the Great Reset agenda—characterized by scams like the green new deal that have devastated economies such as Germany’s with soaring energy costs and remote control over infrastructure—contrasted with the Great Awakening, where unity, accountability, and reversals like domestic oil discoveries and deportation policies lower costs and reclaim national sovereignty. Bix Weir complements this by tying silver’s liberation from manipulation to broader financial reforms, predicting that by 2026, these changes will redefine everything as manipulated structures crumble and precious metals signal the end of centralized control.

Rather than a formal presentation, this is a dynamic exchange of ideas—connecting macro trends, suppressed markets, industrial demand, and the growing strains on the global financial system.We also dive into potential gold stores around the world and how the acknowledgment of these reserves could radically alter the balance of power between nations. From central bank strategy to geopolitical leverage, we examine how precious metals may play a critical role in the next phase of the global reset.This is a thoughtful, exploratory conversation for those watching the cracks in the current system and looking beyond the headlines.Learn more and follow Bix Weir at https:// RoadtoRoota.comLinks and Offers Mentioned in the show:Protect your assets with a company you can trust - Get the private & better price list - Go to https://SarahWestall.com/MilesFranklinNative Path Collagen - Superb quality collagen peptide below retail prices in this special offer: explorenativepath.com/SarahBuy quality at Quince.com/BusinessGame - get free shipping and 365-day returns!

Over the weekend, we lost a musician who shaped the lives of countless people: the late, great Bob Weir. He was a founding member of the Grateful Dead who played guitar, wrote and sang in the band for 30 years. After Jerry Garcia died and the Grateful Dead disbanded in 1995, Weir kept the spirit of the music alive for three more decades, creating new Deadheads for generations to come — he brought John Mayer, Billy Strings and even the National Symphony Orchestra into the Grateful Dead universe. The Deadhead slogan proved to be true: Weir everywhere.At Alt.Latino, we're big fans of Bob Weir and his immensely cosmic musical legacy. Over the years, we've learned that many Latin musicians are also, metaphorically speaking, on the bus. Today on the show, we celebrate Bob Weir's life by hearing some of his past interviews on NPR, exploring the Grateful Dead's influence on artists like Devendra Banhart, and of course, revisiting his magnetic Tiny Desk concert from 2019. We're incredibly grateful that Bobby came down to this world for a little while to tell us his stories – we hope to see him in the next one. (00:00) Intro(01:38) Bob Weir's early life and Grateful Dead career(08:05) Grateful Dead at the National Symphony Orchestra(14:30) Felix and Isa reflect on 'American Beauty'(20:35) Grateful Dead's impact on Latin musicians(26:33) Bob Weir at the Tiny DeskThis podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.

Genre-creating Grateful Dead sadly lost its co-founder Bob Weir this weekend at the age of 78. Weir and his iconic band embodied the sound of 1960s counterculture jam bands. Palate expanders are back. It’s a little barbaric bar that’s placed in the top of your mouth and turned with a little key to make your mouth wider if you’re dealing with overcrowding. Following last week’s killing of American protester Renee Nicole Good at the hands of an ICE agent in Minneapolis, there’s as many as 1000 protests scheduled across the country, including DTLA, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. A new Instagram page from a Catholic priest influencer, Father Solomon Grea, offers sage advice to followers. But it’s not real. That’s right, folks, the priest is AI. Which brings us to our robot apocalypse update: KTLA’s Rich DeMuro headed to CES 2026 in Las Vegas to check out the latest tech.

Episode 105: The Weir by Conor McPherson Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Conor McPherson Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. The curtain rises on a small rural pub in northwest Ireland. A few of the regulars have dropped in for company and bit of the craic. This is the simple premise of Conor McPherson's breakthrough, internationally successful play, The Weir. The play is a quiet, yet mesmerising piece of drama that consists of nothing more than a handful of people coming together and telling a few stories. Stories which reveal not only personal anxieties, regret and grief on the part of its characters, but which, in the telling, draw us into a collective experience of the mystery of being alive. The Weir premiered in a tiny space at the Royal Court Upstairs in July 1997. It has since been performed all over the world, and as we recorded this episode a new production was playing in London's West End, directed by the author himself and starring Brendan Gleeson as Jack. I'm delighted to be able to talk with Conor himself about his magical play.

Bobby takes a walk down Dublin's Grafton Street, where he talks to retailers like The Camera Centre, Dubray Book, flower vendors, Weir's, The Irish Design Shop, and Patrick Sheary Menswear.

Kerry Lutz and Erik Weir explore why intelligence alone doesn't lead to financial success — and why many smart, high-earning people still struggle with money. Erik shares his personal journey, from overcoming a childhood brain injury and stutter to developing a resilience-driven mindset that shaped his views on wealth, discipline, and long-term thinking. They break down core financial principles too many people were never taught, including compound interest, deferred consumption, and the dangers of living beyond your means. Kerry and Erik discuss how poor financial literacy traps families in cycles of debt, why relying on inheritances is a mistake, and how even top earners — including professional athletes — often sabotage their own futures. The conversation also dives into real-world opportunities, from real estate realities in Florida to niche business ideas like high-end housing for pilots. They touch on entrepreneurship, wealth concentration in places like Silicon Valley, and the power of networking with the right people. The episode closes with a clear takeaway: financial freedom isn't about being smarter — it's about avoiding the hidden traps that keep wealth out of reach.

This week on Labor History Today, we revisit the 1946 Oakland General Strike through the eyes of labor educator and activist Stan Weir — and uncover the surprising role a chart-topping “country” hit played on the picket line. After we hear the day's events from Labor History in 2:00, host Chris Garlock digs into Weir's vivid account of the strike's carnival-like atmosphere, where bars rolled jukeboxes into the streets and “Pistol Packin' Mama” — the first country song ever to top the Billboard pop chart — echoed off downtown buildings for 54 hours. We trace how an American Federation of Musicians strike helped turn the tune into a national sensation, and why its defiant energy resonated with the mostly women department-store strikers who ignited the Oakland uprising.

No sidelines. That's the phrase Gareth Weir digs into as we explore leadership, management, and the connections across our working world. Gareth is the Deputy Ambassador at the British Embassy in Seoul, and he's just recorded a TEDx talk challenging the myth that it's enough to stand on the edge and watch the world go by.Growing up in West Africa with teachers for parents, Gareth's early experience with diverse cultures shaped his view that we're all far more connected than we admit. Whether it's a mobile phone made across continents or the food on our plate, nothing is truly isolated anymore. Gareth believes that real leadership starts with recognising this interdependence and embracing the messiness of reality.Curiosity, as Gareth sees it, isn't a soft skill - it's a strategic tool for managers and teams. Listening loudly and deliberately seeking what's unsaid shifts conversations from the superficial to the substantial. If we want thriving, high performing teams, we have to ask ourselves: what might I be missing? Creating the space to challenge assumptions and actively invite diverse perspectives should be woven into our workplace governance, not just left to chance.Gareth also shares why maximum challenge followed by maximum loyalty is at the heart of great decision making. Leaders must signal their intentions, flex their style, and be open about when they're directing and when they're co-creating. Building trust, prioritising connection, and respecting the hidden system beneath any organisation are essential to wellbeing, alignment, and lasting influence.If you're questioning what it means to be a courageous leader in today's world - this conversation will help. Connection isn't just about feeling good; it's vital for high performance, psychological safety, and tackling the toughest problems together.Gareth's reflections on shadowing, co-creation, and practical curiosity offer plenty to take away. For those looking to build work cultures where people thrive, this is not one to skip.More about Gareth:Gareth Weir has worked as an entrepreneur, in the private sector and public sector. He is fortunate to have lived and worked in a range of countries and contexts. Gareth is currently the UK Deputy Ambassador to the Republic of Korea.

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Darcy Weir. For more than ten years, Darcy has taken his camera into the places most people only read about. He has investigated UFOs flying over active volcanoes, secret space programs buried in classified archives, and mysterious sightings beneath the oceans that suggest we are being watched from more than just the skies. Through his documentaries, he has followed the trail of the Men in Black, those strange figures who appear after credible encounters to silence witnesses. He has looked into psychic experiments once funded by intelligence agencies, searching for proof that the human mind may reach farther than science is willing to admit. He has also explored the legend of Sasquatch, speaking with researchers and witnesses who believe an undiscovered species still walks among us. His films have taken him into crop-covered fields where geometric patterns appear overnight, carved into the earth with precision that seems almost impossible. Each investigation adds another piece to a growing picture of secrecy and the unknown. Whether it's objects moving through our oceans, lights dancing above volcanoes, or ancient stories that refuse to fade, Darcy's work pushes us to ask what is real and who decides what the public is allowed to know. Tonight we'll talk about the evidence he's gathered, the witnesses he's met, and the forces that continue to hide the truth in plain sight. This is a conversation about what we see, what we believe, and what may finally prove that reality is far stranger than we think.

According to Bix Weir of Road to Roota, the United States has been on a covert path back to the constitutional gold and silver standard since the 1981 Gold Commission, a secret initiative under Ronald Reagan to dismantle the fiat money scam and restore sound money as mandated by the Constitution. Weir decodes the Federal Reserve's cryptic 1981 comic "Wishes and Rainbows," re-released in 2007, as a roadmap—"The Road to Roota"—outlining the transition from "Grey Flowers" (fiat currency) to "Colorland" (a redeemable gold-backed system), complete with hidden U.S. gold reserves in places like the Grand Canyon to fuel the reset. He argues this plan accelerates under figures like Donald Trump, who is leveraging massive undisclosed gold stashes to collapse the manipulated markets and implement a new gold/silver coin standard via the U.S. Mint, where silver could skyrocket to match gold at a 1:1 ratio, freeing Americans from endless inflation and debt slavery. Central to this liberation is abolishing the Federal Reserve, the "BIG player" Weir identifies as the root of global economic hatred toward the West, with its computer-driven manipulations since Alan Greenspan's era propping up a dying fiat blip; Trump, per Weir, is crashing the [CB] system through engineered chaos, paving the way for constitutional money where every citizen can redeem notes for physical gold and silver, ending the Fed's reign and restoring true freedom. Weir's scathing exposés paint JP Morgan Chase as the epicenter of silver market rigging, with CEO Jamie Dimon—derisively dubbed "Jamie Demon" for his demonic role in financial crimes—leading a cabal that has suppressed silver prices through massive COMEX shorts and derivative slams, all while cashing out ahead of the inevitable squeeze that could drain their "house silver" vaults dry. This manipulation ties directly to Epstein Island scandals, where Weir reveals JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank facilitated the financier's criminal network, enabling cash flows for trafficking that intertwined elite bankers like Dimon with the island's depravities; exposing Epstein's client list, including Dimon's inner circle, would unleash uncontrollable silver demand as the rigged system's veils tear away, crushing the bullion banks and vindicating Weir's long-warned "Silver Alert" for a monetary rebellion.
