The NWA's AJ Cazana joins me to discuss elections. THE NWA Presidency of course. What did you think? We discuss free and fair elections. how nepotism is a lie, how his father won a free and fair election - easily, and how many ways AJ is over his brother.

We also discuss some aspects of the potential new podcast effort between he and Silas Mason. This conversation goes far and wide but sticks tomy core topics of wrestling kayfabe, breaking a little kayfabe, and talking about the alternative parts of the world. 

There's a fair amount of confusion over the corner store clerk's name and why Hunter Drake is always around.A few shout outs to Aron Stephens may have happened.

Rick Partlow is that rarest of species, a native Floridian. Born in Tampa, he
attended Florida Southern College and graduated with a degree in History and
a commission in the US Army as an Infantry officer.
His lifelong love of science fiction began with Have Space Suit---Will Travel and
the other Heinlein juveniles and traveled through Clifford Simak, Asimov, Clarke
and on to William Gibson, Walter Jon Williams and Peter F Hamilton. And
somewhere, submerged in the worlds of others, Rick began to create his own
worlds.
He has written over 60 books in a dozen different series, and his short stories have been
included in twelve different anthologies.
He is currently writing the best-selling Drop Trooper series for Aethon Books, a mil-SF alien
invasion series, as well as the Taken to the Stars series for Variant Publishing.
He lives in northern Wyoming with his wife and a goofy blackmouth cur. Besides writing and
reading science fiction and fantasy, he enjoys outdoor photography, hiking and camping. More

I never thought a former member of Iran's Republican Guard would reach out to me. But here we are. How does a guy born in Italy, moved to New York then Califormia, end up in Iran, placed on a nofly list, get his passport seized, and ends up in the IRGC? All before age 18? Meet Sherman. He's also half Jewish on his father's side. Oh. He barely spoke Farsi. What could go wrong? 

2 years of military brig living, secret police interrogations, and overseen by a religious magistrate. Yet, he ultimately got out..only to have to return again. 

A story so odd, you have to hear it for yourself. Luckily you can. Just hit play.

And yes, we do address the current protests in Iran and the expected state of play regarding regime change.

Dr. Ed Barnhart is back and we're going to Southeast Asia and the Khmer Empire. Well before the Rouge. We talk Angkor Wat and Thom among other fascinating stops. We touch on history, religions, rivalries, gods on mountains and pyramids of gods and men. We of course talk about that Stegasaurus. A UFO discussion may ensue as well.

Mogg Morgan joins us once again for all things Egypt adjacent. This time we're talking about Kush, Punt and Nubia. Historic, mythic, and geography.

Vinny Pacifico booked himself to put over a young talent, Not a wrestler. An actor. We talk about Vinny's enormous film success and him getting cast and cast again in horror movies. Along the way, he met this young up and comer. Let's meet Jax Platon.

USA Today Bestselling author, Ann Charles, writes spicy stories
full of mystery, comedy, adventure, suspense, romance, and
supernatural mayhem. When she's not dabbling in fiction, she's arm
wrestling with her two kids, attempting to seduce her husband, and
arguing with her sassy cats.

This is her second appearance on the show. Last time, we discussed her Deadwood series. Now, we get a little more into traditional garden fare.

Deep in the Yucatán Peninsula sits a long forgotten, mysterious site—lost to
time, swallowed by the jungle, haunted by ancient secrets.
Archaeologist Dr. Angélica Garcia is chasing clues, and she will stop at
nothing to uncover the site’s history. Was it a sacred center? A place of long-
forgotten rituals? Or something far more sinister?
Quint Parker, a sharp-eyed photojournalist, is chasing Angélica. He never
signed up for old curses, creepy whispers in the shadows, or man-eating
mosquitoes. He just wants to make sure his girlfriend makes it out of the
jungle—alive.
The deeper they dig into the past, the more they must confront a deadly
truth: Some places should never be disturbed!

I've often wondered why is someone considered a prophet. Like, good enough to be considered one from a scriptural standpoint. What did they see, dream, write and say? 

So I turned to a student of scripture. The Torah to be specific. From "Good and Sweet Torah", we welcome back Laivi Schor to go over what is prophect? Why did prophecy end? When does it return? And who were the prophets of what you might call The Old Testament. We go through a bunch, but there's no time to visit them all. Who knew? Turns out, we'll have to do a separate show on Ezekial. I really am fascinated by Ezekial and the Merkaba.We're all going to visit the plagues on a future episode. Those plagues. And others.
