Podcasts about Bad Decisions

It's back-to-school time, which, for millions of families across the country, means a return to bedtimes, shopping for school supplies, and frantic efforts by kids to finish their summer reading. On this episode, we explore how our fast-changing world is transforming learning and life inside the classroom, from the lingering effects of the pandemic, to the impact of generative AI tools, to the pressures of “Ivy League fever.”Interviews with host Maiken Scott:When COVID-19 hit the U.S. in March 2020, schools across the country closed down — and stayed closed — as part of an effort to stem the pandemic's spread. At the time, it seemed like the right move for public health — but according to investigative reporter David Zweig, the basis for those closures was a lot shakier than the public knew, the benefits less clear, and the impact on kids more profound than we imagined. He joins us to discuss his new book, “An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus and a Story of Bad Decisions.”We talk with education reporter Holly Korbey about how the adoption of new technologies — from Smartboards, to laptops, to ChatGPT — are transforming the classroom, and what science has to say about whether those changes are good or bad for learning. Korbey writes The Bell Ringer, a newsletter on the science of learning.

In this message from 1 Samuel 14 and 15, Pastor John looks at how King Saul's heart drifted from God through a series of poor choices that became increasingly serious. From making foolish and provoking commands to sparing what God had commanded him to destroy, Saul's story shows the danger of doubling down on disobedience. Through his example, we are challenged to trust God's timing, guard our hearts from pride, and deal decisively with the sin nature that seeks to draw us away from Him.

Dave Franco and Alison Brie star in Together, a squirmy little body horror flick that asks, “What if moving to the country ruined your relationship AND your epidermis?” We're diving into this oozy, unsettling tale of love gone moldy to answer the ultimate question: is it worth the price of a theater ticket (or just your sanity)?Tim and Millie are a couple well past their expiration date, and when a mysterious force starts warping their lives and their flesh, things get... messy. Emotionally and otherwise.We've got thoughts, from the film's visceral metaphors to its arthouse ambitions, and let's just say... Together might be better experienced apart.

Happy Monday girlies! Ever make a decision and then wonder, “Why would God let this happen?” In this episode, we're having a real talk about what happens when you blame God for the choices you made. We explore the hard truth about spiritual accountability, what it means to abuse God's grace, and why free will doesn't erase the need for wisdom. God can redeem anything—but it starts with you being honest about where you went wrong. Let's talk about free will, growth, and the power of choosing better next time.FOLLOW US: @girlsirlpod@mariahclayton_Don't forget to leave a 5 star rating! 

Warlocks, Mystic Arcanum, and Our Deeply Cursed MySpace Past – Now Optimized for Maximum Emotional Damage! Tired of forgetting what Tyler said about multiclassing back in 2021? Want to relive the glory days of your favorite hot takes, Warlock rants, and deeply cursed jokes? Good news! RPGBOT.net is proud to announce that archived episodes of the RPGBOT.Podcast are now available on YouTube. That's right—every mispronounced spell, every wizard tangent, every moment of Tyler realizing he's said something horrible is now accessible. Search “RPGBOT Podcast” on YouTube and hit that play button like it owes you an Eldritch Invocation. A huge thanks to our guest, Gabe Greenspan — actor, writer, professional chaos gremlin, and the only person brave enough to optimize Warlocks and still talk about MySpace unironically. Gabe's insight runs as deep as his playlist is unhinged, and if you enjoyed this episode, you need to check out his other work: Total Party Skill – where razor-sharp theorycraft collides with chaotic actual play Tabletop Tunes – the ultimate soundtrack for your bard, your boss fights, or your brooding warlock vibes And learn more about Gabe at gabegreenspan.com, where the comedy's punchy, the projects are plentiful, and the bio page probably isn't haunted. Probably. Because let's be honest—every optimized Warlock deserves a killer theme song and a guest appearance from someone cooler than their DM. Show Notes This episode, we go from Dial-Up to Die-Resonance. The RPGBOT crew welcomes back Gabe Greenspan for part 2 of the Warlock optimization series using the D&D 2024 ruleset. After a brief trip down memory lane to the pixelated glory of MySpace Top 8s and AIM away messages, the conversation dives headfirst into Warlock mechanics from level 10 all the way to 20. Tyler, Randall, and Ash—plus Gabe—discuss spell selection, Mystic Arcanum picks, Eldritch Invocations, and the emotional weight of choosing your level 20 capstone. There's an alarming amount of love for spells that make you omnipresent, and maybe a bit too much nostalgia for the early internet. You'll laugh, you'll optimize, and you might question your teenage social media presence. From the philosophical (“What does it mean to be a Warlock?”) to the practical (“Why is Misty Step still doing so much work?”), this episode gives you the strategy, humor, and memes you need to build a Warlock that slaps—whether you're blasting, hexing, or sipping potions made of regret. Key Takeaways MySpace Trauma is Real: The team explores how early internet experiences shaped their current personalities... and also their spell lists. Spell Selection Is Everything: Choosing the right spells is like curating your Top 8—deeply personal, slightly toxic, and possibly game-breaking. Mystic Arcanum = Late Game Power: Learn which spells will turn your Warlock from “mysterious loner” into “arcane juggernaut.” Leveling with Purpose: Level 10 through 20 contains major decision points that define how your Warlock handles endgame content, narrative moments, and group synergy. Multiclass Temptations: Warlocks continue to be the gateway class for players who want to dip a toe in every magical pond. Warlock 2024 Is Glowing Up: The new rules breathe life into a class that was already beloved. Now it's leaner, meaner, and finally makes sense at higher levels. Meta Humor + Mechanics = RPGBOT: Balancing crunchy optimization with existential jokes is our specialty—and also the entire episode.

This week, comedian Zach Noe Towers joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott for a whirlwind ride through the pop culture circus you didn't know you needed. We're talking the totally random (and kind of perfect?) romance rumors between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson, the alleged Katy Perry–Justin Trudeau connection that has the internet ina. tizzy, and why Sydney Sweeney can't even pose for American Eagle without sparking a controversy. Plus, we're giving our unfiltered thoughts on the Luigi Mangione musical (yes, it's a thing) and the shocking sight of Jason Momoa without a beard—spoiler alert: not a good look. If you love gossip with a wink, celebrity absurdity, and a dash of “did that really happen?”—this one's for you.

Plus: the ongoing saga of their Pickle closets, unsolicited DMs, and influencer pet peeves.to wrap it up, the duo dive into their chaotic travel updates, Jaz's terrifying solo flight on a mini plane, and their excitement (and exhaustion) over upcoming plans. from Costa Rica content trips to fall cravings, puppy fever, HR cheating scandals, and Justice store memories: you'll laugh, reminisce, and relate to every second. as always, it's real, delusional, and completely unforgettable.Timestamps0:18 - Comments about Jaz being pregnant 2:23 - Our thoughts on gender reveals 7:58 - The Target Thief 17:05 - Our jobs in retail22:38 - Bitching hour 26:32 - Peaks and Pits 35:25 - Coldplay Concert Scandal 40:45 - How do singers go on tour 42:55 - Itching for a new dogLinksDraftKings: Download the app and sign up with code DIARIES See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we're cracking open more than just cold ones, we're cracking open the chaos behind one of the biggest brand faceplants in recent alcohol history. Bud Light's PR blunder cost billions, tanked its street cred, and left big beer brands scrambling like a frat boy who forgot finals week.But this isn't just about beer. It's about identity, influence, and how the alcohol industry is getting a reality check as Gen Z and younger Millennials say, “Yeah, I'm good,” and reach for a coffee instead. We explore how the shifting culture around drinking is flipping the booze biz upside down, and why that's actually great news for anyone trying to live clean, clear-headed, and free.With a healthy dose of honesty and humor (because let's face it—this stuff is ridiculous and revealing), we unpack what big alcohol's identity crisis means for your own transformation and why now is the perfect time to go against the grain and level up.

Lured Up Podcast 352Live Streamed on - 7/2/2025Audio & VoD Publish Date - 7/4/2025We started this episode with ambitious intentions. We had planned to cover the onslaught of news and events that packed the July calendar, and discuss the monetization shift the gameplay flow has seen over the last few months. Instead, we ended up talking shop about GO Fest Global for the entire show! The GO Fest Global weekend was incredible and was filled with amazing gameplay and core memories. Adam shares his experiences playing with the Tri-City Pokémon GO group out of Rochester, NH and Ken talks about his NJ tour to 6 different Community Ambassador meetups.This weekend brought out the best in the Community, and Ken learned a ton simply by getting out of Red Bank. From exceptionally chill vibes in Hudson County, NJ to the diehard Trainers in Essex County, the event amplified just how many different ways this game can be enjoyed.Not only is the game played by so many different walks of life, but the areas of the game that are important to different Trainers was completely diverse. With some Communities just there to hang out with friends, to others tracking their hundos to the last minute of the event. In the end, it was all about friends getting together to share their passion in an environment filled with positivity. This was definitely a fun episode, with a ton of laughs, interaction with the chat, and both hosts using their Gold Bottle Caps. Against the wishes of the chat, Adam decided to Hyper Train 3 HP points on his Shiny Zamazenta with a NJ Background. It was one of the most fun moments we have had on the podcast ever, with the chat nearly falling out of their chairs. Ken decided to take a fun Pokémon, Rockstar Pikachu, and take it from Nundo to Hundo. Something tells me that Adam will be done a lot sooner than Ken will be!Huge thank you to all of the new viewers and listeners this week. We really fo appreciate all of the support, and feel so fortunate to be able to make this show every week. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Trainers.

School Of Hard Knocks - Week 3 - "You Might Be Making Bad Decisions If..." - Josh Amstutz

David Zweig, author of An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions, discusses public health's blind spots—and when caution became the risk. Plus, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reshapes the CDC's vaccine advisory panel, swapping experts for skeptics and dredging up the long-debunked thimerosal panic on his way to declaring war on mayonnaise. And in the Spiel: a U.S. strike on Iran's Fordow facility may have been less obliteration than “oblit-ish-ation,” though both the administration and its critics are spinning narratives faster than centrifuges.

Zohran Mamdani is likely the next mayor of New York, and progressive enthusiasm is peaking—along with demands that you pronounce his name correctly. Andrew Cuomo, a man of few smiles and even fewer surrogates, concedes with the warmth of a trooper lawsuit. Mike considers whether this is Mamdani's political high-water mark, as voters begin to discover the costs, the quotes, and the Disney press junkets.

Are you holding back, waiting for the “right” decision? In this episode, Shannon Waller and Dan Sullivan reveal why taking action—even imperfect action—is the key to entrepreneurial momentum. Discover how making any decision unlocks feedback, reduces anxiety, and activates your best thinking, while indecision keeps you stuck. Plus, learn practical strategies to overcome perfectionism and move forward. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:The importance of making a decision that requires that you take action.How indecision leads to more indecision.What you sacrifice when you refuse to choose.How to get a clear picture of the situation you're in. Show Notes: Taking action, even with imperfect information, is better than staying stuck in indecision. The problem with making no decision is that you're not changing the situation that's paralyzing you. When you can't make a decision, the pressure builds on you exponentially, as does the feeling of isolation and disconnection from your team and your goals. As soon as you start taking action, you get an enormous amount of information about whether it was a right action or a wrong action.Perfectionism is the enemy of progress. Humans are best when they're in motion. People become unproductive when they're not making decisions. You don't have to make the right decision. You can make a decision, and then make it right. Clarity and confidence come after you commit, not before. Decisive entrepreneurs make mistakes, but they also learn and adapt much faster than indecisive ones. When you're indecisive, you lose access to your wisdom, experience, and problem-solving abilities. The act of deciding eliminates alternative options and allows your mind to focus on what matters most. Protecting your role and saying no to distractions is a by-product of being decisive about your commitments. The word “decide” literally means to “kill off” alternatives, freeing you from mental clutter and overwhelm. Resources: The 4 C's Formula by Dan Sullivan The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy The Impact Filter™

Matt hit the studio for a long-overdue recording session, and it was a pump-and-dump. In and out. Used and Abused, in all the right ways. No time for catch-ups, we jumped straight into some segments. We played a One's Gotta Go: Comic Book Characters Edition, then a new one called THUNDERDOME: 80's Action Heroes, and finished up with another new one called The Questionables: Booze, Banter & Bad Decisions. It was a fun one and great to have Matt in the studio (the dining room) again for a wee pod. This week's episode is not brought to you by ChunderDown™ — The Hangover Cure with Punch

An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions (MIT Press, 2025) is a devastating account of the decision-making process behind one of the worst American policy failures in a century—the extended closures of public schools during the pandemic. In fascinating and meticulously reported detail, David Zweig shows how some of the most trusted members of society—from Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists to eminent health officials—repeatedly made fundamental errors in their assessment and presentation of evidence. As a result, for the first time in modern American history, millions of healthy children did not set foot in a classroom for more than a year.Since the spring of 2020, many students in Europe had been learning in person. Even many peers at home—in private schools, and public schools in mostly “red” states and districts—were in class full time from fall 2020 onward. Whatever inequities that existed among American children before the pandemic, the selective school closures exacerbated them, disproportionately affecting the underprivileged. Deep mental, physical, and academic harms—among them, depression, anxiety, abuse, obesity, plummeting test scores, and rising drop-out rates—were endured for no discernible benefit. As Europe had shown very early, after they had sent kids back to class, there was never any evidence that long-term school closures, nor a host of interventions imposed on students when they were in classrooms, would reduce overall cases or deaths in any meaningful way.The story of American schools during the pandemic serves as a prism through which to approach fundamental questions about why and how individuals, bureaucracies, governments, and societies act as they do in times of crisis and uncertainty. Ultimately, this book is not about COVID; it's about a country ill-equipped to act sensibly under duress. David Zweig is the author of the novel Swimming Inside the Sun and the nonfiction book Invisibles. He has testified twice before Congress as an expert witness on American schools during the pandemic, and his investigative reporting on the pandemic has been cited in numerous congressional letters and a brief to the Supreme Court. Zweig's journalism has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, New York, Wired, The Free Press, The Boston Globe, and, most often, his newsletter, Silent Lunch. He lives with his family in New York State. Caleb Zakarin is editor of the New Books Network. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we sit down with investigative journalist and author David Zweig to discuss his new book, "An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions," and how the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 and subsequent closing of schools had lasting effects on an entire generation of children. David tells us about his investigative reporting in the early days of the pandemic and how he came to realize that the mainstream media and the "experts" were lying about almost everything. We also talk about how school closures did almost nothing to slow the spread of the virus and left irreparable and often unseen damage on millions of children across the country. And how did the pandemic get politicized so quickly?

Meet our friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Biden Coverup Clay and Buck discuss revelations about President Joe Biden's mental and physical health. The hosts highlight the shift in media narratives, including Jake Tapper's upcoming book and Elizabeth Warren's interview on the Talk Easy podcast, where she defends her previous statements about Biden's acuity. They critique the media's portrayal of Biden during his presidency, comparing it to historical propaganda. Clay and Buck also delve into the broader implications of Biden's presidency, discussing the role of Jill Biden and the political strategies surrounding Biden's re-election campaign. David Zweig Blockbuster (@davidzweig) Interview with investigative journalist David Zweig, who discusses his new book, "An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions." Zweig shares insights into the failures of American public policy during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly focusing on the detrimental impact of prolonged school closures. He highlights the lack of scientific evidence supporting these closures and the political pressures that influenced decisions, including the role of teachers' unions. The hosts and Zweig delve into the revisionist history surrounding the pandemic response, emphasizing the importance of demanding evidence-based policies. Zweig recounts his experiences with silent dissent among medical professionals and the challenges he faced in reporting the truth. He hopes his book will serve as a corrective to the narrative and arm readers with the knowledge to recognize and challenge misinformation in future crises. Clay and Buck also discuss the broader implications of the pandemic on public trust in institutions, with Zweig expressing his disillusionment with the legacy media and the left establishment. He shares how his worldview has been fundamentally altered by the events of the pandemic and the dishonesty he encountered. Harvard vs. Trump The legal dispute between Harvard University and the Trump administration over the withholding of billions in taxpayer dollars. The hosts critique the extensive federal funding of universities and question the necessity of such subsidies, especially given the ideological biases and discriminatory practices at institutions like Harvard. The discussion includes the ethical concerns surrounding NPR's government funding and its role as a competitor in the media landscape. Clay and Buck argue for the elimination of taxpayer subsidies to NPR, highlighting the unfair advantage it provides in the marketplace. TX Rep. Chip Roy (@RepChipRoy) Interview with Rep. Chip Roy of Texas on SCOTUS blocking Trump deportations and the Democrats traveling to El Salvador and their defense of Abrego Garcia. He criticizes the Democrats for prioritizing non-citizens over American victims of crime committed by illegal immigrants. Roy emphasizes the need for significant authority for the president to remove individuals who were wrongfully allowed into the United States. He also discusses the broader implications of the Democrats' stance on immigration and their pursuit of political power.
