Inbox of Oddities: Holiday Hauntings, Freak Flags & Fiery Volcanoes In this festive Inbox of Oddities, Kat and JG unwrap a sleigh-load of eerie encounters, laugh-out-loud listener mishaps, and heartwarming Freak Fam moments just in time for the holidays. From a funeral home organ that plays itself long after burial (yes, really) to a mysterious roadside prophet who triggers a time-slip radio broadcast in the desert, this episode is packed with true stories that are as strange as they are unforgettable. Listeners share everything from a ghost calmly straightening sheet music hours after her service, to hot-coffee courtroom déjà vu, to the world's most enthusiastic quilter recommending alien-language movies. We've also got community favorites: what your Spotify Wrapped reveals about your listening obsession, how kids describe the hosts' voices (“nice on my ears”), and how one Freak Fam member accidentally taught her child to shout “butthole water” in a grocery store. You'll hear about chicken prosthetic arms gifted for the holidays, a listener's pivotal tip that made its way to the RCMP, and touching tributes to beloved pets who helped their humans through hard times. Plus: live-volcano videos from Hawaii, a cave that stores Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, and tales of freak flags waving proudly at 11:11. Whether it's paranormal activity, bizarre coincidences, unlikely emotional support from podcasts, or stories that push Kat to cry and JG to consider wearing a cardigan and pipe on Christmas Eve, this episode celebrates everything weird, wonderful, heartfelt, and Freak-Fam-approved. This Box contains the following ingredients: True paranormal stories, funeral-home ghost encounters, eerie organ music, bizarre coincidences, listener-submitted mysteries, UFO-friendly anecdotes, holiday oddities, emotional pet tributes, viral Spotify Wrapped stats, and heartwarming Freak Fam messages.

Author John Collins joins this week for a little slice of deep film history.

We get to talk about some fascinating little pockets of film history here, from the early home video boom to the career of the Wizard of Gore himself, Herschel Gordon Lewis.  Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli  Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck  Logo by Doug McCambridge  Email: puppetmasterscastlefreaks@gmail.com Instagram/Threads: @puppetmasters_castlefreaks  YouTube: @PuppetMastersCastleFreaks  Next week's episode: Petticoat Planet

The Age of AI, Dharma, and Reality with Deepak Chopra Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP, FRCP, is a consciousness explorer and a world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation. Dr. Chopra is co-founder of DeepakChopra.ai, his AI twin and well-being advisor. He also co-founded Cyberhuman.ai, a transformative suite of personalized health and well-being solutions. He is a Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of California, San Diego, and serves as a senior scientist with Gallup Organization. He is also an Honorary Fellow in Medicine at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. TIME Magazine has described Dr. Chopra as “one of their top 100 most influential people.” He is the author of over 95 books, translated into over forty-three languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers. His bestselling books include The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success; Ageless Body, Timeless Mind; Quantum Healing; The Book of Secrets; You Are the Universe; Life After Death; and The Way of the Wizard. His most recent book is Digital Dharma: How AI Can Elevate Spiritual Intelligence and Personal Well-Being. His mission is to create a more balanced, peaceful, joyful, and healthier world. His website is DeepakChopra.com. Deepak shares how artificial intelligence (AI) can become a tool for awakening rather than destruction. While acknowledging that technological progress has surpassed our emotional and spiritual evolution, he offers insight into how we can utilize AI to support our own movement toward wisdom, compassion, and dharma. Used consciously, it can help us remember who we are, deepen our spiritual intelligence, and live in greater alignment with our higher self.

Since the much anticipated sequel to Wicked has come out, we decided to finally chat about last year's musical sensation, Wicked. We brought back our good buddy, Sami Matarante, to gush about all of her thoughts on this movie musical. She had many strong opinions and was a delight to talk with, as usual. Hope you enjoy!

If next year were a movie, what kind of film would it be? Action? Adventure? Redemption? A rom-com with questionable decisions and a killer soundtrack? Whatever it is — here's the truth: no magical hand is writing it for you. You get to take the damn pen. You're the writer, the director, and the lead. In this follow-up to The Hero's Journey, April hands you the director's chair for your own life. Too many leaders and entrepreneurs drift into another year by default — replaying the same story, following the same plot, repeating the same dialogue. But what if 2025 wasn't a sequel? What if you wrote something entirely new? In this episode, April challenges you to choose your genre, claim your pen, and direct a story that actually excites you. Because your life isn't a rerun — it's a production in progress. Key Takeaways 1️⃣ You Are the Director of Your Story No one else gets to decide the tone, the plot, or the outcome. You hold the pen. 2️⃣ Drift vs. Direction Most of us live other people's priorities — reacting instead of creating. 2025 doesn't have to be a rerun; it can be your reboot. 3️⃣ The Coaching Call that Sparked It During a group session, April asked: "If next year were a movie, what would it be?" William said The Greatest Showman — bold moves, bigger stages. Daniel said The Pursuit of Happyness — grit and purpose over glamour. Katrina said The Wizard of Oz — the journey home to her own power. Each one picked a story that matched their growth season. 4️⃣ The Plot Twist for You So, what's your movie? Action — courage to leap into what you've delayed. Redemption — rebuilding after loss or burnout. Release — letting go of control, perfectionism, or old identities. Rated R for real life — raw, unfiltered, fully alive. 5️⃣ April's Reminder You're not behind — you're just busy filming the wrong movie. If last year was Groundhog Day, make this year The Great Escape. If last year was Cast Away, make this one Homecoming.  Quotes "No producer is coming to save your script — you already hold the pen." "You're not behind; you're just stuck in the wrong movie." "If last year was a sequel, this year can be your reboot." "You don't need permission to start — just courage to claim the pen."  Challenge for Pivoters Take ten quiet minutes this week — no phone, no noise. Write the title of your 2025 movie. Ask yourself:

Hollywood's Headlines includes Troy Aikman stepping away from NIL, Sydney Sweeny being announced as the next Sports Illustrated cover star, a wild story about a man on a cruise who consumed 33 drinks and ended up stuffed in a fridge, and the Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch hat selling for $500K.

Hour 2 focuses on Joe's take that the NBA Cup “doesn't move the needle” for him as the league struggles with effort issues, from a lackluster All-Star Game to LeBron never doing the dunk contest — a spotlight that G-League players have been stealing in recent years. The conversation then pivots to college football, previewing the playoff chaos with JMU and Tulane representing the “little guy” and Ole Miss making the CFP without Lane Kiffin. Joe and Hollywood also praise Brian Hartline, who is juggling finishing his OC duties at Ohio State while preparing to take over as USF head coach, and preview the Dolphins gearing up for Monday Night Football against the Steelers. The hour wraps with Hollywood's Headlines, covering Troy Aikman being done with NIL, Sydney Sweeney landing the next Sports Illustrated cover, a wild cruise story, and the Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch hat selling for $500K

Transformations are often quite painful. Whether we're growing emotionally or undergoing a physical metamorphosis, real change usually demands discomfort, and sometimes even danger.In Jon M. Chu's Wicked films, the characters literally burst through their own limits: they sprout wings, become tin or straw, or learn to fly by defying gravity.Like all the past Wizard of Oz books and films, Wicked is a mirror of its time. Since the Covid pandemic, conservative movements around the globe have seized on a new scapegoat: openly trans and gender-diverse people. Despite being a tiny fraction of the population, trans folks have been painted as a massive cultural threat, a convenient distraction and a powerful tool for those hungry to seize political power.So what can Wicked teach us about facism? What can Elphaba's journey reveal about the machinery of oppression and about the yellow brick roads queer and trans people are still carving toward liberation?Today we're joined by trans-tech visionary Violet Kitajewski to explore Wicked as an allegory for LGBTQ resilience, transformation, and resistance. After all, that gravity isn't going to defy itself.Plus-- Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande announce they are in a “non-demi-curious, semi-binary relationship.”FEATURED MUSIC:Here Comes the Hurricane Legendary Katrina - Kevin JZ Prodigy★ https://youtu.be/GMKaa_q1eCg?si=d0F5b7bV9eSpG6_mFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM:★ instagram.com/transosaur★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelionHelp Fausto & Marc Fight Blindness and Heart Disease★ https://gofund.me/00771d8fe

Send us a textA simple plan to tackle Nevada's ET Highway turns into a cross-state quest for awe. We kick things off in Phoenix and climb toward Flagstaff, chasing a crisp horizon and a stop at a veterans memorial built to catch the sun at 11:11 on 11/11. The Grand Canyon delivers that familiar shock of scale from new South Rim overlooks, and then Route 66 starts pulling us back in time. Seligman feels like a living postcard, Kingman frames your car under an iconic sign, and Oatman steals the show with wooden storefronts, a daily shootout, and wild burros who wander the street like they own it.We veer into California for Joshua Tree National Park and watch the landscape morph into Dr. Seuss silhouettes and boulder gardens. Earthcaches push us off the road to touch geology, and the golden-hour light makes even the cholla glow. On the way back, a roadside cache under a giant Coke bottle and a plane casually landing for supplies remind us that desert highways never run out of surprises. Then it's Vegas for a quick reset, where budget-friendly beds come with steep fees and the food is pricey but memorable. We meet friends, pull the slot lever once, and wake up early for the main event.Nine cars. Thousands of caches. A system that replaces every container and turns a blank desert shoulder into a well-oiled route. The ET Highway demands patience, spare tires, and teamwork, but the payoff is huge: a full sweep logged and a convoy full of stories. Tonopah adds color with dinner at the Mizpah Hotel—said to be the most haunted in America—and a stroll past the Clown Motel and its neighboring historic cemetery, where hand-stamped plaques record how lives ended in stark detail. It's a raw counterpoint to the neon a few hours south.The finale is pure future: The Sphere and The Wizard of Oz in 16K. The tornado brings wind and cold across the seats. Snow drifts from the ceiling. Apples drop. And flying monkeys become drones circling overhead. It's the classic film, intact, surrounded by AI-extended worldbuilding that turns watching into inhabiting. If the Grand Canyon is a natural wonder that humbles, this is a man-made wonder that lifts your jaw and won't let go. Hit play for the full route, the geocaching tactics, the small-town gems, and a cinematic experience you'll be talking about for weeks.

It's a Wizard shop Peter! Special guest this month Ben Potter joins Pete and Spoons to tell all about his exciting new venture, The Bunker collectibles shop, just opened in Hogwarts - err sorry, Royston near Barnsley in the frozen North. The show opens with a remembrance of poster artist Drew Struzan, who recently passed, and a chat about the lads' favourite posters. Rich expands the New Acquisitions section to take in any old tat, and there's another international Face-Off, taking in Croatia, Venezuela, Israel and the land of Dog Chow. Andy P hosts a colourful cardback quiz, and the NA shout-outs feature some tasty 32-backs, a cracking carnival mirror, a trio of vinyl capes, an exciting early bird, and a lovely lenticular poster. Rebel Briefings brings in stories from around the collecting world including fab food ads, a Toy Fair find, Boba's blaster, the final (sob!) Farthest From, featured finds from Vectis, and re-living Echo Live. Licensee this month is Burtons Biscuits, who produced a range of ‘Crisp biscuits sprinkled with mint sugar' in Star Wars packaging, popular with 80s kids in Britain. This sparks an outbreak of biscuity nostalgia among the lads, and cookie cravings. Plenty of Zollux and banter along the way, find the podcast in all the usual places.

“If you had to choose between your spouse and your lifelong dream of raising a baby raccoon, which would you pick?” That's just one of the thought-provoking questions that kicks off this lively episode of The Sandy Show, where Sandy and Tricia's playful banter takes center stage!

Hey EICrackers, merry Friday...get ready for a magical, festive &... fatigued, episode!First up, Wicked For Good. We all went down the yellow brick road to the cinema to see the sequel. The story picks up after Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) has fled the Emerald City and been branded the "Wicked Witch of the West" by the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh). Glinda (Ariana Grande), now "Glinda the Good," struggles with her public role as the Wizard's associate while her friendship with Elphaba is tested. The film focuses on their final journey to see each other with empathy and change Oz "for good". We get into it.Next! We don't know if you've heard, but Christmas is coming. How do we know this? Because the annual supermarket/high street Christmas adverts have dropped in the UK. High street festive ads have become peak Christmas culture in the UK. For our non-UK listeners, Lena Dunham did a fairly good poke at this in Too Much with the John Lewis Rita Ora playing Santa ad. So this year, we're going to take a look at some of the big ones that have dropped.And finally... from Christmas Ads to CHRIST, not another ad. In a piece on Substack, Hannah Glenn explores her own fatigue with advertising, in a world where everything and everyone seems to be trying to sell her something.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (12/04/2025): 3:05pm- On Thursday, authorities announced charges against a 30-year-old Virginia man believed to have placed two pipe bombs at the Democratic and Republican national committees the night before the January 6th, 2021 unrest at the U.S. Capitol. During a press conference announcing the charges, Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed “search warrants are being executed, and there could be more charges to come.” She added: “Let me be clear. There was no new tip, there was no new witness—just good, diligent police work and prosecutorial work.” Initial reports suggest the suspect is an anarchist. 3:30pm- A Washington Post report states that Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized a series of deadly strikes on a drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean, ordering military officials to “kill everybody.” The directive, according to the report, led to a second strike killing several crew members that survived the initial assault on the vessel. The New York Times, as well as the White House, dispute that Hegseth explicitly authorized the second strike or ordered to eliminate survivors. The NYT also reports that the “U.S. military intercepted radio communications from one of the survivors to what [officials] said were narco-traffickers.” 3:50pm- Christmas music, Be Nice to Matt Week is getting cut short, and did a munchkin actually hang himself on the set of The Wizard of Oz? 4:05pm- During an interview with The Atlantic, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) reacted to Kamala Harris's critiques of him and her reasoning for not selecting him to be her 2024 running mate. Shapiro exclaimed: “I mean, she's trying to sell books and cover her ass.” 4:20pm- On Thursday, authorities announced charges against a 30-year-old Virginia man believed to have placed two pipe bombs at the Democratic and Republican national committees the night before the January 6th, 2021 unrest at the U.S. Capitol.

Plus, Linda Kearns vs Rich Zeoli! 5:00pm- Philadelphia Highway Patrol Officer Andy Chan has died six years after he was struck by a vehicle while on duty.

Bjorn Lomborg, from Stanford University's Hoover Institute, writes that for the first time in 10-years “not a single hurricane made landfall in the continental U.S. this year.” 5:40pm- Minnesota Governor Tim Walz claims people keep driving by his house and calling him the “r-word,” Rep.

For this week's Sewers of Paris, I'm chatting with four Oz superfans about their intense connections to films like The Wizard of Oz, books like Return to Oz, and adaptations like Wicked. These conversations are all part of my new video about Oz and queer culture that just went live on YouTube — check that out at YouTube.com/mattbaume . In this episode, you'll hear from writer and artist Terry Blas about his childhood traveling between Idaho and Mexico, which felt very similar to Dorothy's journey; you'll hear from writer Josh Trujillo about his youthful obsession to Oz collectibles; from YouTuber Emma McMahon about the positive lessons she picked up from Wicked, before she even knew she needed to hear them; and Oz scholar Dee Michel about his surprising historical discoveries about Oz and queer culture.Dee Michel: https://www.deemichel.info/Josh Trujillo: https://www.joshtrujillo.com/Terry Blas: https://terryblas.com/Emma McMahan: https://www.mcmahan.media/ Emma's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@mediaprocessingchannel/Watch Emma's video about Wicked's stage-to-screen adaptation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWZ1nB1mNy0

Philip, Lara, and Bridget discuss the conclusion of the film adaptations of the Broadway musical 'Wicked.' Styled 'Wicked: For Good' and filmed simultaneously with act one of the duology, this Universal Pictures release takes place at least a year after the conclusion of the first film. Whilst Glinda, Fiyero and Nessarose are established in their prominent roles as public servants, Elphaba is painted in the public's eye as the traitorous, deplorable "Wicked Witch of the West." The current Ozian regime is one of rapid industrialization and modernization, and anyone other than a proper human Ozian is subject to discrimination or worse. In this magical land where the foremost Wizard and Witch are incapable of real magic, true power is viewed with hostility by the one magical mastermind, Madam Morrible. Uniformity and submissiveness are paramount. Can Elphaba enlist the aid of the Wizard and Glinda to thwart their behind-the-scenes puppetmaster?

Movie of the Year: 1971Action Figure Draft, Part 1The Chaos Begins in the Action Figure Draft 1971In this week's Movie of the Year, Ryan, Greg, Mike, and Taylor enter the arena for the most brutal, strategic, and downright unhinged draft of the season: the Action Figure Draft 1971.Every Taste Bud must choose characters from 1971 movies (or TV productions), imagining them as highly posable, battle-ready action figures. These figures must then be assigned to six RPG-inspired roles: bard, cleric, druid, fighter, wizard, and wild card.The goal?Build a team capable of winning an all-out fight against the other rosters.And the twist that changes everything:Once a character is drafted from a movie, no one else can draft anyone else from that same movie.No backups. No consolation picks. Once it's gone, it's GONE.If you thought last season's drafts were chaotic…welcome to 1971.The Draft Rules: One Year, One Movie Per Pick, Zero MercyTo keep this battle as ruthless as possible, the Taste Buds lock in the following rules:Snake Draft FormatThe order reverses each round, forcing careful planning and last-second gambits.Draft RolesEach team must fill:Bard – charm, chaos, charismaCleric – healer, protector, mystical weirdoDruid – nature, magic, unpredictable energyFighter – the bruiser, tank, or martial artistWizard – supernatural, cerebral, or ranged powerhouseWild Card – whatever you dare unleashEligibility: 1971 Movies (and TV Productions) OnlyIf it hit screens in 1971 (big screen, small screen, arthouse, grindhouse), it's fair game.The Killer Rule: One Character Per MovieAs soon as a player drafts any character from a movie or TV title, that entire production is locked out forever.Pick a character from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? The rest of Wonka's weirdos vanish.Choose someone from A Clockwork Orange? Say goodbye to Alex's droogs.Reach into The French Connection? No detective backup for anyone.This rule transforms the draft into a battlefield where stealing a movie is every bit as important as drafting the right character.The ObjectiveCreate a team of 1971 action figures capable of absolutely wrecking the others in a hypothetical battle royale.Selecting the Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Wizard, and Wild CardThe Taste Buds dive deep into the weird, violent, soulful, experimental year that is 1971 cinema. With each category requiring a different kind of fighter, strategy becomes key:A bard might be a charming con artist, a manipulative cult leader, or someone who just screams enough to cause psychic damage.A cleric might heal, preach, or haunt.A druid might commune with nature or be a chaos gremlin.A fighter is your tank — your blunt instrument of violence.A wizard could be supernatural…or simply smarter and more dangerous than anyone else.And the wild card?Well, 1971 produced some bizarre characters. Anything can happen here.And because each movie gets only one character drafted, every pick is a race to snatch a film before someone else steals it out from under...

Directed by Jon M. Chu, Wicked: For Good is the musical fantasy film which adapts the second act of the 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, which is loosely based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, a reimagining of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 1939 film adaption. It is the sequel to Wicked (2024). Now demonized as the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) lives in exile in the Ozian forest, while Glinda (Arianna Grande) resides at the palace in Emerald City, revelling in the perks of fame and popularity. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, she'll need to reunite with Glinda to transform herself, and all of Oz, for good. We break down all things from adapting Act 2, the magic of acting, and the pros and cons of leaning into all of the Wizard of Oz elements.

#238 Hamnet, Wicked For Good, If Beale Street Could Talk A flourishing love story between Agnes and Will that becomes emotionally charged and complicated after one of their three children gets sick, which inspires cathartic events. The story of Elphaba (the villainous and betrayed) and Glinda (the bubbly and promoted) ends with this final installment as they maneuver the political and mob-like landscape of Oz. The grand love story of Tish and Fonny gets derailed and severely tested when Fonny is arrested for a serious crime that he never committed.    Next Time: Wake Up Dead Man, Eternity, Once Upon a Time in America   Recent Discoveries Ralf: A Merry Little Ex-Mas, Jingle Bell Heist Luke: We Live In Time, Sisu Road to Revenge, Rental Family, Frankenstein, The Wizard of Oz Oscar: Honey Don't, Elio, Zootopia 2, Relay, Rental Family, Frankenstein   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:01:57 Recent Discoveries 00:45:17 Hamnet 01:08:10 spoilers 01:32:02 Wicked For Good 01:55:46 spoilers 02:13:23 If Beale Street Could Talk 02:49:09 EXIT

On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen sit down with comedian Kurt Metzger for one of the most unhinged, hilarious, and unexpectedly deep conversations in show history.From wild conspiracy theories, to Kundalini symbolism, to “wizard schools” in Austin, the crew dives into everything from secret levels above the President to whether magic, evil, and power structures are actually connected.Kurt breaks down books like Tragedy and Hope, cosmic-level clearance, and why some people believe the world is run by forces way beyond what we see publicly.

This week the boys head to 1936 to discuss “Dodsworth”, the film that may very well have catapulted William Wyler to the upper echelon of great directors of the time, and actors flocked to him- he'd be working with Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, and Lawrence Olivier within three years! Starring an incredible Walter Huston and Ruth Chatterton as a three-dimensional villainess of sorts, the scene work, art direction, and adult subject matters give us lots to discuss… while drinking.
