Arroe Collins Like Its Live Unplugged And Totally Uncut

There's a voice most of us live with all day. It whispers about the cookies in the break room. It reminds you the ice cream is still in the freezer. It talks about lunch while you're still eating breakfast.That voice has a name now. Food noise. A new class of weight-loss drugs turns the volume down, and people cannot believe how quiet their heads suddenly feel.I felt that same quiet. I did not get it from a drug. I got it from food.The noise is not you. It's your food talking back.Food noise is not weakness. It is not a broken character. It is a symptom.Processed food is engineered to be loud. Sugar, refined flour, oils, salt, additives, all of it designed to make you think about the next bite before you finish this one. Blood sugar spikes, then crashes. Your body, confused and depleted, sends up a flare: get more, get it now.That flare is the noise. It feels like hunger. It is not.Real hunger is calm. It builds slowly. It shows up in your stomach, not your head. When you are truly hungry, an apple sounds good, or a bowl of greens. When it is food noise, only the cookie will do. Your body does not crave a brand. Your dopamine does.What actually happened when I went quiet

People with motivation and opinions surround us everyday!  Your decision making is based onwhat they feed you.  Oh Oh... have youever asked yourself the questions then questioned the answers?   The cold hard facts about stepping in a pileof dog crap... you can scrape it off your shoes but the smell never goesaway.  Why are you wasting your time askingpeople for leadership when you've never started with yourself first.  You wear those shoes they don't.  Where the hell are they are two in themorning when your heart and soul can't stand the mental beating anymore?    

Long before Keisha Lance Bottoms rose to prominence in politics, she was a daddy's girl from the west side of Atlanta-the baby of her family, who did well in school, though she talked too much in class; an outgoing kid who dreamed of growing up to be elegant and charismatic like her parents, cool like her older siblings and big cousins, and the pride of her very large Southern family.After law school, Bottoms worked as an attorney, served as a judge, and was elected to City Council and the mayorship, where she garnered national attention for her leadership during the pandemic and George Floyd protests. Later, she was appointed senior advisor in President Joe Biden's administration.Yet Bottoms felt disquieted internally. She was in her early fifties and approaching the age her beloved father was when he died. She couldn't shake the feeling that something in her life was missing, like she'd forgotten to bring an essential element of herself along for her ascension. Stepping away from the daily political grind, Bottoms realized how much she'd sanded down parts of herself on her path to professional success. She'd tucked away the fuller details about her dad's drug abuse and prison stint for dealing; the sexual abuse she endured; the eating disorder she developed; the close-knit, utterly unpolished family who doted on her and gave her an incredible foundation of love and confidence but whose influence she'd smoothed to a sleek, charming, campaign-ready sheen. She thought that was the price of upward mobility. Then she realized she was wrong.The Rough Side of the Mountain is about this excavation. It's Bottoms's deeply affecting journey to rescue a version of herself that she thought she had to leave behind to succeed. An homage to the lessons from kinfolk plainly told, hers is a timely and heartfelt memoir about unmasking oneself, the joys of authenticity, embracing what you sspreading that powerful message.

For decades, rumors have swirled about massive,15 to 20-foot mako sharks patrolling the deep waters off Southern California. Long dismissed as fishermen's tales, new footage, along with a recently published photo capturing a mako that appears to push 15 feet, is now forcing scientists to rethink everything they know about these oceanic apex predators. Marine biologist Tristan Guttridge, alongside conservationist Kendyl Berna and shark tagger Keith Poe, leads an investigation to determine whether the world's biggest mako is real - and hunting in the coastal waters of Santa Catalina.

Colin Woodard, Director of Nationhood Lab at Salve Regina University’s Pell Center and a New York Times best-selling author, will discuss how, surprisingly, where people settled during colonial times may still help explain some of America's deepest divides today. Using original research and polling data, he'll show how differences in trust, community engagement, health outcomes, and attitudes on major issues continue to vary across regions in remarkably consistent ways. At a more local level, the research also examined why some communities feel more connected, engaged, and trusting than others? The Social Capital Index looks at factors tied to strong communities, including volunteering, voter participation, involvement in local organizations, and overall community trust. Researchers say areas with higher social capital often experience stronger civic engagement, healthier communities, and a greater sense of connection. Even with regional differences, Woodard’s research shows that a common belief in the principles of the Declaration of Independence still holds us together. Recent polling from Nationhood Lab found Americans agreed by a 97-2 margin that citizens are duty-bound to protect one another’s rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. More than 80 percent of Americans said the country is defined by those shared principles, even during today’s polarized political climate.

Skincare routines have never been more elaborate, yet the most important step might not come in a bottle. Some nutrition experts call it “eat your skincare,” the idea that your beauty routine is not just what you put on your body, but what you put in it. The body is constantly renewing itself, including skin and hair, and that process relies on nutrients like fiber, antioxidants and essential minerals.

For centuries, people have debated, measured, regulated and theorized about emotion. But no single work has attempted to define the full landscape of everyday emotional states across disciplines — until now. Choosing Emotions: Thinking with Your Head and Acting with Your Heart by D. Earl Johnston presents the first fully cross-disciplinary reference defining 272 emotional states drawn from 3,000 years of recorded thought in the fields of philosophy, science, linguistics, psychology, art and spiritual traditions. “Not since Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence has there been such a needed shift in public discourse around emotions. Choosing Emotions seeks to do this, focusing first and foremost on how we define and categorize them,” says Johnston. “The result is akin to a Barlett’s Thesaurus solely on the topic of emotions, and it is every bit as entertaining.”Going far beyond primal feelings of fear, anger, joy and sorrow, Choosing Emotions seeks to address what Johnston describes as a foundational gap in emotional literacy, or the ability to understand, express and regulate emotions. According to the book’s research notes, roughly 25% of the 272 emotional states included in the book are not found in major psychology dictionaries, including commonly used terms such as admiration, confidence, procrastination and zeal. The work expands the discussion beyond psychology, incorporating definitional perspectives from seven fields and more than 30 faith and philosophical traditions.

Sometimes dreams only come true when you build them yourself. For Chris Johnson, that philosophy has defined a remarkable career spanning decades in the music industry. Now, after years spent creating opportunities for other artists while quietly honing his own craft, Johnson is stepping back into the spotlight with his powerful new single, "Better Days Ahead," out June 26 2026, and  the first release from his forthcoming album, Tales From The Cowboy Palace.Born and raised in the rural community of Lakeside in San Diego County, California, Johnson grew up balancing life between Future Farmers of America, horseback riding, surfing and skateboarding. Raised among cattle, rodeos, and wide-open spaces, he proudly identifies as an "urban cowboy"—someone who may live in the suburbs but carries a rural spirit at heart.Chris Johnson is a California-born singer-songwriter, musician, entrepreneur, and self-described urban cowboy whose career spans performance, production, sound engineering, venue ownership, and artist development. Raised in Lakeside, California, Johnson has spent decades immersed in the music industry while continuing to write songs rooted in real-life experiences. His upcoming album, Tales From The Cowboy Palace, showcases his distinctive blend of traditional Country storytelling and hard-earned authenticity.Music was woven into Johnson's life from the very beginning. With a mother, aunts, and grandfathers who were all musicians, his passion for songwriting and performance came naturally. By the age of twelve, he was already playing guitar and singing alongside his mother at schools, county fairs, senior centers, and community events. Influenced by legends such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Huggard, George Jones, John Denver, and Pete Seeger, Johnson developed a deep appreciation for storytelling through song.As a teenager, he played in school bands before forming his own country rock group. During college, he fronted a local band called Border Tones before pursuing solo performances throughout Southern California. His journey eventually led him to Los Angeles, where he attended Musicians Institute and joined a booking agency that sent him across the country performing corporate events and hotel engagements.While the experience sharpened his skills as a performer, Johnson ultimately felt pulled toward creating music of his own."I really wanted to get back to doing my own music," Johnson recalls. "I didn't even have a house—we were just in band houses and hotel rooms all the time."Back in Los Angeles, Johnson built an impressive behind-the-scenes career, running sound for legendary venues including the Whisky A Go Go and the Roxy, managing backline operations for FM Station. Also, touring as guitar tech for John Fogerty, Styx, Government Mule, Lisa Marie Presley, Chaka Khan and System of A Down. While also performing demo vocals, composing commercial jingles, and providing voiceover work. He also launched his own equipment company, Hollywood Studio Rentals, Valley Production Storage and Drum Paradise LA before eventually purchasing the very Country music venue where he frequently performed—the famed Cowboy Palace.Through every chapter of his career, songwriting remained a constant. Now, Tales From The Cowboy Palace serves as the culmination of a lifetime of experiences, offering listeners an authentic collection of songs centered around perseverance, freedom, fatherhood, motorcycles, hard work, and redemption. Backed by his band, The Hollywood Hillbillies, Johnson delivers a modern Country project enriched by decades of musical influences and real-world experiences.Lead single "Better Days Ahead" stands as a heartfelt anthem for dreamers, workers, and anyone pushing forward through adversity."It's about working my ass off when I had nothing," Johnson says. "Dreaming of giving a better life to my wife and kids."

Erinn Alissa tears into the silence with raw, confrontational energy on her new rock track "What You Didn't Say." Built on ‘90s-tinged guitars and a fierce vocal performance, the slow-burning song explodes into something rawer and harder, living in the space between heartbreak and fury- the quiet ache of someone who once held you at your lowest going silent, until the silence itself starts to sound like goodbye. "What You Didn't Say" shows that nothing can say everything.The song draws heavily on Erinn's 90s alt-rock influences in the electric guitar woven throughout, and the overall vibe, alongside the female-fronted rock she grew up on. "There's a lot of Sheryl Crow's self-titled album in there, the fire of Alanis Morissette, and a little Stevie Nicks magic for the confrontational edge in the lyrics," she says. “All amazing women of rock I have loved since I was a kid.”Born in Albany, NY and now based in Santa Monica, CA, Erinn Alissa is a folk-rock singer-songwriter inspired by the sun-drenched golden era of the '60s and '70s West Coast music scene. A natural performer since childhood, she has built a loyal following through her original music and her residencies at iconic Los Angeles venues including The Hotel Café, Molly Malone's, and The Viper Room.

Fueled by grit, pride, and a deep-seated distrust of their Cold War rivals, the Flyers and their fans turned the game into something far bigger than hockey. When the puck finally dropped, tensions erupted into one of the most unforgettable clashes in the sport's history.Through candid interviews with players, coaches, media, and fans, the film captures the intensity of that moment while painting a vivid portrait of the Flyers' hard-nosed identity and the passion of their fan base. Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, it also explores how the Soviet style of play reshaped the global game - and how this single matchup left a lasting mark on hockey.Featuring firsthand accounts from those who lived it, Cold War in Philly chronicles the build-up, the battle, and the aftermath of a game that remains a defining chapter in Flyers history - an enduring symbol of a team and a city that stood their ground.Here's the trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OOCMm-evkY

The most controversial man in professional wrestling tells all in the story of the upstart TNA with stories that will make your jaw drop.Vince Russo, known as the most successful writer in the history of professional wrestling, brought the World Wrestling Federation to its greatest success during the Attitude Era, creating a brand of wrestling that brought the industry to record heights. Three decades later, Russo is still talked about as one of the most influential men in the industry.Following the success of his first two books, Forgiven (covering his years with Vince McMahon's WWE) and Rope Opera: How WCW Killed Vince Russo (his time with Ted Turner's rival), TOTAL NONSTOP AGONY: The Rise and Fall of TNA picks up Russo's story as he begins work with the upstart TNA, where the daily drama proved greater than ever. The storylines here feature an indecisive millionaire southern belle, Dixie Carter, who cared more about her image then her wrestling company; the demise of his friendship with his best friend, Wrestling Superstar Jeff Jarrett; the network executives at Spike TV, who understood very little about the business they were in; and the return of his mortal enemies from WCW, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan.Russo's TNA stories are epic, and many have never been told before. The politics, runaway egos, backstabbing, and underhandedness make the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills look like Little Women. Finally, the time has come to discuss TNA: this is the tell-all that no one has ever dared, and no one can tell the story better than Vince Russo.

Created by GUNGNIR Founder and Publisher Matthew Medney, the series features appearances from a rotating cast of comedians that include Julia Hladkowicz (America’s Got Talent, Comics Unleashed), Rama Vallury (Super Pumped), Raquel Woodruff (This Time), Jordan Stidham (The Martian Broadcast), Donna Dubrow(Ex Studio Executive, Professionally Unimpressed), as well as “Ad-Man” legend Cliff Medney. Badd, Gramm-mar is a chaotic comedy series about a dysfunctional Los Angeles book club where every week a new book sparks a completely different collision of personalities, perspectives, and worldviews – which inevitably leads to some form of complete emotional meltdown over conflicting opinions regarding the book. Part review show, part social experiment, and part emotional group therapy disguised as fandom discourse, the series follows a rotating cast of readers, “failed” creatives, intellectuals, romantasy addicts, comic shop lifers, and people still trying to graduate to adulthood. Each episode centers around a new “book of the week,” ranging from science fiction epics and romantasy sensations, to literary classics and underground cult favorites, but the conversations quickly spiral far beyond the page. What starts as debates about stories becomes arguments about class, identity, ambition, politics, love, aging, masculinity, feminism, success, failure, and the increasingly unstable state of modern culture itself.“Badd, Gramm-mar began as an experiment to help readers discover great books, but it quickly evolved into something we believed could be a beacon for the book community.” said Matthew Medney, Founder and Publisher of GUNGNIR.“What emerged wasn't a book club. It was a collision of perspectives. Every episode brings together five voices from different walks of life and asks them to debate the same story, revealing as much about themselves as the book in front of them. The comedy is real, the disagreements are authentic, and occasionally the insights are of value. While we may be reviewing books on the surface, Badd, Gramm-mar is ultimately a conversation about the cultural zeitgeist. Books remain one of the last great bastions of subcultural identity, where tribes are formed, ideas are tested, and the future of culture is quietly negotiated one page at a time.”The series blends emotionally grounded character comedy with improvised chaos, where every member of the club represents a completely different worldview and walk of life. During the season, the club is forced to relocate to a new venue due to its own dysfunction, transforming the setting into an evolving reflection of the group’s emotional state. Among the graphic novels and prose the group will be reviewing in its first months include Fourth Wing, Ministry Of Time, Project Hail Mary and Absolute Batman, as well as GUNGNIR titles Aeon, Existence Equation, Last Breeds and Deadweight.
