Podcasts about arguments

Winning is easy to celebrate. Losing is where character shows up. How you handle defeat determines whether you are a contender or just passing time. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor dives into a moment from the college football playoffs that had nothing to do with a win and everything to do with mindset. After Ole Miss upset Georgia, Baylor noticed something powerful in the postgame moment. Kirby Smart, head coach of the losing team, did not sulk, blame, or deflect. Instead, he walked over, smiled, and genuinely congratulated the opposing coach. That moment revealed what real excellence looks like. Baylor breaks down why wins rarely teach us much. Victories feel good, but they do not expose who we really are. Losses do. Defeat reveals humility, emotional maturity, and confidence or the lack of it. This episode challenges listeners to reflect on how they personally handle losses. Arguments. Missed opportunities. Promotions that go to someone else. Deals that fall through. Not getting chosen. Baylor asks the hard question. Do you need the last word, or can you walk away with dignity? He explains the difference between people who lose occasionally and people who are experts at losing. Career losers blame, deflect, and spiral. Winners acknowledge the moment, respect the opponent, learn the lesson, and get back to work. Baylor also explores the importance of celebrating others even when it is not your season. A true winner knows their time will come again. That confidence allows them to cheer loudly for someone else without jealousy or insecurity. The episode closes with a powerful reminder. Seasons change. Some days you will be the best in the room. Other days, someone else will be. Champions do not panic when it is not their moment. They study, adjust, and prepare to win the next one. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why losses reveal more about character than wins • How humility in defeat signals true confidence • The difference between occasional failure and a losing mindset • Why celebrating others is a marker of leadership • How to respond when it is not your season • Why champions focus forward instead of blaming backward Featured Quote "You don't learn much from winning. You learn everything from how you handle losing." If 2026 does not start the way you hoped, do not panic. Handle defeat with class, learn the lesson, and get back to work. Champions always find a way to win the next one.

Part 2 officially kicks off in After Hours mode as the Underground Lounge crew is joined by Holly, the drinks are poured, and the conversation immediately goes left. With the Plastic Cup Boyz still in the building, there's no easing into it, the filters are gone, the interruptions are constant, and the energy feels more like a late night hang than a podcast.What starts as casual banter quickly turns into a heated and hilarious debate about honesty, transparency, dating, and relationships. The room wrestles with whether women actually want the truth or if they prefer a carefully packaged version of it, and whether being completely honest is a sign of respect or just a fast track to unnecessary problems. As the discussion unfolds, real-life examples, exaggerated scenarios, and personal stories collide, turning the conversation into classic After Hours chaos.With Holly pressing the conversation forward, the lines between truth, omission, and embellishment get blurred. Arguments overlap, points get repeated louder, and nobody is backing down. The drinks don't help, the stories get bolder, and the debate keeps circling back to one question: how honest is too honest when it comes to dating?By the time the night winds down, nothing is fully settled, but every angle has been debated, laughed at, and challenged. This is the Underground Lounge in its purest After Hours form, loud, unfiltered, and unapologetically real.

This is effectively part 3 in a series of responses to the Prime Minister of Australia about censorship, legislation, policy, philosophy, Bondi and Social Media. The Prime Minister attempted to explain, as best he could, the reasons for banning under-16 year olds from certain social media platforms. I remark on an interview he conducted and make some broader remarks in conclusion to a short series on his response to the Bondi tragedy and other issues. These are largely off-the-cuff rather than prepared remarks - so expect the tone, tenor, tempo and expression to be a little different than usual.

In today's Fantasy for the Ages episode, Jim goes solo to count down his Top 10 Most Unpopular Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Horror Opinions — ranked by how much backlash they tend to generate.These aren't rage-bait takes. They're thoughtful, experience-driven observations about the current state of SFFH books, movies, and TV… but fair warning: you probably won't agree with all of them.We're talking about:• Why page count has become a badge of honor (and why that's a problem)• Whether audiobooks are actually the best way to experience some stories• Why some grimdark has lost its emotional impact• How modern SFF TV often feels stretched too thin• Why villains are often more compelling than heroes right now• And a few opinions that reliably make fandom very uncomfortableThis episode is designed to spark thoughtful disagreement, not shouting matches — but if you feel strongly about any of these takes, the comments section is open and waiting.

The State argues the district court correctly allowed evidence related to the murder of Charles Vallow and the attempted killing of Brandon Boudreaux, not to show criminal propensity, but to establish a pattern, plan, knowledge, and financial motive that closely mirrors the crimes involving JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, and Tammy Daybell. Prosecutors emphasize the defense had long-standing access to this evidence, defeating claims of unfair surprise or prejudice.The episode then breaks down Vallow's speedy trial argument using the Barker v. Wingo balancing test. While the length of delay slightly favors Vallow, the State explains that most of the delay was caused by the defense, including multiple competency proceedings and a change of venue. Vallow also failed to show any actual prejudice to her defense.Ultimately, the State asks the appellate court to affirm Lori Vallow Daybell's conviction, arguing that none of the claims raised on appeal warrant reversal. Appeals in Arizona are still expected, meaning the legal process is far from over.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout  - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

SHOW 12-22-25 THE SHOW BEGINS WITH DOUBTS ABOUT FUTURE NAVY. 1941 HICKAM FIELD 1. Restoring Naval Autonomy: Arguments for Separating the Navy from DoD. Tom Modly argues the Navy is an "underperforming asset" within the Defense Department's corporate structure, similar to how Fiat Chrysler successfully spun off Ferrari. He suggests the Navy needs independence to address critical shipbuilding deficits and better protect global commerce and vulnerable undersea cables from adversaries. 2. Future Fleets: Decentralizing Firepower to Counter Chinese Growth. Tom Modly warns that China's shipbuilding capacity vastly outpaces the US, requiring a shift toward distributed forces rather than expensive, concentrated platforms. He advocates for a reinvigorated, independent Department of the Navy to foster the creativity needed to address asymmetric threats like Houthi attacks on high-value assets. 3. British Weakness: The Failure to Challenge Beijing Over Jimmy Lai. Mark Simon predicts Prime Minister Starmer will fail to secure Jimmy Lai's release because the UK mistakenly views China as an economic savior. He notes the UK's diminished military and economic leverage leads to a submissive diplomatic stance, despite China'sdeclining ability to offer investment. 4. Enforcing Sanctions: Interdicting the Shadow Fleet to Squeeze China. Victoria Coates details the Trump administration's enforcement of a "Monroe Doctrine" corollary, using naval power to seize tankers carrying Venezuelan oil to China. This strategy exposes China's lack of maritime projection and energy vulnerability, as Beijingcannot legally contest the seizures of illicit shadow fleet vessels. 5. Symbolic Strikes: US and Jordan Target Resurgent ISIS in Syria. Following an attack on US personnel, the US and Jordan conducted airstrikes against ISIS strongholds, likely with Syrian regime consultation. Ahmed Sharawi questions the efficacy of striking desert warehouses when ISIS cells have moved into urban areas, suggesting the strikes were primarily symbolic domestic messaging. 6. Failure to Disarm: Hezbollah's Persistence and UNIFIL's Inefficacy. David Daoud reports that the Lebanesegovernment is failing to disarm Hezbollah south of the Litani River, merely evicting them from abandoned sites. He argues UNIFIL is an ineffective tripwire, as Hezbollah continues to rebuild infrastructure and receive funding right under international observers' noses. 7. Global Jihad: The Distinct Threats of the Brotherhood and ISIS. Edmund Fitton-Brown contrasts the Muslim Brotherhood's long-term infiltration of Western institutions with ISIS's violent, reckless approach. He warns that ISISremains viable, with recent facilitated attacks in Australia indicating a resurgence in capability beyond simple "inspired" violence. 8. The Forever War: Jihadist Patience vs. American Cycles. Bill Roggio argues the US has failed to defeat jihadist ideology or funding, allowing groups like Al-Qaeda to persist in Afghanistan and Africa. He warns that adversaries view American withdrawals as proof of untrustworthiness, exploiting the US tendency to fight short-term wars against enemies planning for decades. 9. The Professional: Von Steuben's Transformation of the Continental Army. Richard Bell introduces Baron von Steuben as a desperate, unemployed Prussian officer who professionalized the ragtag Continental Army at Valley Forge. Washington's hiring of foreign experts like Steuben demonstrated a strategic willingness to utilize global talent to ensure the revolution's survival. 10. Privateers and Prison Ships: The Unsung Cost of Maritime Independence. Richard Bell highlights the crucial role of privateers like William Russell, who raided British shipping when the Continental Navy was weak. Captured privateers faced horrific conditions in British "black hole" facilities like Mill Prison and the deadly prison ship Jersey in New York Harbor, where mortality rates reached 50%. 11. Caught in the Crossfire: Indigenous Struggles in the Revolutionary War. Molly Brant, a Mohawk leader, allied with the British to stop settler encroachment but became a refugee when the British failed to protect Indigenous lands. Post-war, white Americans constructed myths portraying themselves as blameless victims while ignoring their own Indigenous allies and British betrayals regarding land rights. 12. The Irish Dimension: Revolutionary Hopes and Brutal Repression. The Irish viewed the American Revolutionas a signal that the British Empire was vulnerable, sparking the failed 1798 Irish rebellion. While the British suppressed Irish independence brutally under Cornwallis, Irish immigrants and Scots-Irish settlers like Andrew Jackson fervently supported the Continental Army against the Crown. 13. Assessing Battlefield Realities: Russian Deceit and Ukrainian Counterattacks. John Hardie analyzes the "culture of deceit" within the Russian military, exemplified by false claims of capturing Kupyansk while Ukraine actually counterattacked. This systemic lying leads to overconfidence in Putin's strategy, though Ukraine also faces challenges with commanders hesitating to report lost positions to avoid forced counterattacks. 14. Shifts in Latin America: Brazilian Elections and Venezuelan Hope. Ernesto Araujo and Alejandro Peña Esclusapredict a 2026 battle between socialist accommodation and freedom-oriented transformation in Brazil, highlighted by Flavio Bolsonaro's candidacy against Lula. Meanwhile, Peña Esclusa anticipates Venezuela's liberation and a broader regional shift toward the right following leftist defeats in Ecuador, Argentina, and Chile. 15. Trump's Security Strategy: Homeland Defense Lacks Global Clarity. John Yoo praises the strategy's focus on homeland defense and the Western Hemisphere, reviving a corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. However, he criticizes the failure to explicitly name China as an adversary or define clear goals for defending allies in Asia and Europe against great power rivals. 16. Alienating Allies: The Strategic Cost of Attacking European Partners. John Yoo argues that imposing tariffs and attacking democratic European allies undermines the coalition needed to counter China and Russia. He asserts that democracies are the most reliable partners for protecting American security and values, making cooperation essential despite resource constraints and political disagreements.

Started off taking a LOT more time than I expected talking about ancient housing arrangements, what a "manger" might be, etc., and then moved on to a rant against Reformed theology and a common argument against God's decree that keeps coming up. Interrupted by a brief power outage at our office, but, I assume Rich will just cut that out. Enjoy!

A lot of people live for the drama.

In this solo episode of Search for Meaning, Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback reflects on a timely and challenging question facing the Jewish community today: How do we disagree without hating one another?Prompted by recent remarks from Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove at the American Zionist Movement Biennial, Rabbi Yoshi explores the growing tensions within Jewish communal life — particularly around Israel — and the ways our conversations can become polarized, judgmental, and alienating, especially for younger Jews.Turning to Parashat Vayeshev and the story of Joseph and his brothers, the episode uncovers a subtle but powerful distinction in the Torah between sin'ah (hatred) and kin'ah (envy). Drawing on the teachings of Rabbi Eliezer Davidovits, Rabbi Zweiback introduces the rabbinic concept of kin'at sofrim — the “envy of scholars” — a form of admiration that doesn't fracture relationships but deepens wisdom and understanding.This episode is an invitation to reimagine disagreement not as a threat, but as an opportunity for learning, curiosity, and growth — and to consider how Jewish tradition can guide us toward more loving, respectful, and constructive conversations, even in times of deep division.

Welcome back to the final Information Entropy Podcast of the year! In this episode, we see out the year with a bit more of a relaxed approach (is that possible I hear you ask… well maybe?)! Mitch and Tom reflect on their 2025 resolutions and whether they achieved them and whether it was a good year all in all. Mitch goes on to analyse what makes a film a “Christmas” film by scientific and cultural definitions and the boys get into why love actually is terribly flawed… but perhaps that was the point. Tom examines why so many family holiday gatherings can turn sour… perhaps it's inevitable at some point! Music: HOME – AWAY

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Jesse Littlewood, the campaign manager for the Coalition for a Healthy Democracy. Jesse has extensive experience working on democratic reforms, particularly focusing on increasing civic engagement and advancing policies that make elections fairer and more competitive. Raised in Oregon, Jesse brings insight from strong ballot initiative states and is now leading efforts to put all party primaries, also known as "top two" or "jungle primaries,” on the Massachusetts ballot in 2026. His work centers on improving legislative accountability and making the electoral process more accessible for all citizens. Jennifer and Jesse discuss the ineffectiveness of the Massachusetts legislature, which has seen a growing trend of citizen-driven ballot initiatives as a response to legislative gridlock. They examine the mechanics behind the all-party primary proposal, the barriers faced by unaffiliated voters (who make up the majority in Massachusetts), and why the current partisan system is failing to address the needs of moderate and independent voters. Controversial topics include the diminished impact of minority parties, low voter turnout in primaries, concerns about empowering moderates at the expense of party ideologues, and arguments about whether these reforms would “kill” party politics or, instead, revitalize them. Jesse counters criticism from progressive and conservative factions, arguing that broad-based competition leads to more responsive governance and dismantles entrenched power structures. With endorsements crossing party lines and strong polling numbers, the conversation highlights why disruption is necessary and why many establishment figures fear meaningful electoral reform. “To my Republican friends, I say you have nothing to lose but your chains.” ~Jesse Littlewood This week on Political Contessa: The role and process of citizen-driven ballot initiatives in Massachusetts The mechanics and implications of all-party primaries (“top two”) The high percentage of unenrolled voters and its effect on competition The lack of legislative action and increasing reliance on ballot measures The declining rate of registered party voters and the rise of independents The impact of current primary systems on moderate and young voters Arguments from party purists and how reforms could strengthen parties Cross-partisan endorsements and the coalition behind all-party primaries Connect with Jesse Littlewood: Coalition for a Healthy Democracy Jesse Littlewood on X Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

Today's Headlines: As of late Sunday, the suspect in Saturday's mass shooting at Brown University — which killed two people and injured nine — remains at large. Police released new photos after clearing a briefly detained person of interest, while local officials say there's no immediate threat. Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel falsely claimed a suspect had been caught, statements later contradicted by Providence police. In Australia, the death toll from a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney rose to 16, the country's deadliest shooting in nearly 30 years; authorities say a father and son carried out the attack, and ISIS flags were found in their car. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is pledging even stricter gun laws. Back in the U.S., California police are investigating an antisemitic attack on a Jewish family's Hanukkah-decorated home, while federal authorities arrested four men accused of plotting a New Year's Eve terrorist attack. In Los Angeles, the son of director Rob Reiner was arrested on suspicion of murdering Reiner and his wife; Trump blamed the deaths on “Trump derangement syndrome,” drawing backlash. Elsewhere, the administration is arguing in court against providing live ASL interpreters at White House events and against halting construction of Trump's planned White House ballroom. A JetBlue pilot narrowly avoided a midair collision with a U.S. military aircraft in the Caribbean, and President Zelensky says the U.S. has agreed to security guarantees for Ukraine as talks continue.

Richard Epstein does a deep into the Supreme Court's latest showdown: Trump v. Slaughter, a case that could redefine presidential removal power and the future of independent agencies like the FTC. Epstein walks through the constitutional history — from the Founding to Humphrey's Executor to modern administrative courts — and explains how the Court's interpretation of Article II has evolved, splintered, and in some cases contradicted itself. The conversation covers everything from the steel-seizure precedent to the Federal Reserve, the structure of the administrative state, and the unresolved tension between originalism and the practical realities of modern governance. Epstein explains why this case could be one of the most consequential constitutional questions of our time.

If there is one skill that transforms relationships from shaky to secure, it is validation. And yes, it is hard AF. In this episode, we're diving into why this deceptively simple tool is the very first thing I teach couples and why it matters so much for creating secure attachment.Validation is tough because when your partner brings you something painful or messy, your body wants to react. Your brain starts telling old stories about not being good enough or being unlovable or being too much. But validation is not about agreeing with them or taking the blame.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   If you've ever had someone twist your training philosophy into something it's not, you've likely run into a Straw Man argument. In this episode, I'm breaking down ten of the most common ones aimed at positive reinforcement-based dog training, why they're not valid, and what you can do to create genuine conversations with people who hold a different view of dog training than you, all while staying centered and calm.   In this episode, you'll hear:   • What Straw Man arguments are and why they show up in dog training conversations. • Why these arguments misrepresent decades of science and practical application. • Ten common Straw Man claims made about positive reinforcement-based training and my response to each one - Straw Man Argument #1 - "Reinforcement trainers are just cookie pushers" - Straw Man Argument #2 - "Positive training won't work with high-drive dogs" - Straw Man Argument #3 - "Reinforcement takes too long, punishment is faster" - Straw Man Argument #4 - "Dogs need leaders, not more cookies" - Straw Man Argument #5 - "Dogs need punishment to learn what's wrong" - Straw Man Argument #6 - "Training only works if the dog can see the cookie" - Straw Man Argument #7 - "Positive trainers care more about the dog's emotion than outcomes" - Straw Man Argument #8 - "Your dog will never recall reliably without correction" - Straw Man Argument #9 - "A head halter is just another punishment tool" - Straw Man Argument #10 - "Positive trainers avoid punishment because they don't understand it" • How to stay centered, respond constructively, and keep conversations productive.   Resources:   1.
