This week, John and Warren talk about Cracker Barrel's $700 million U-turn, Mitch Marner blasts fans on his way out of town, Canadian GDP shrinks, Crown Royal bottling plant moves to USA at the expense of 160 Canadian jobs, the media's skewed coverage of the story of the Lindsay, Ontario man who fought off an intruder who entered his home in the middle of the night, armed with a crossbow and the failed bench press that has hurt the NYC mayoral campaign of Zohran Mamdani. 

Hello! Today we talk about Trump's bid to create a sovereign wealth fund by investing in private companies, the parallels these actions have to his shakedowns of elite universities and Zohran's attempt to throw up 135 on the bench press.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Avi Liberman joins Adam in studio to talk about his new book Strange Gigs, which chronicles the bizarre and unexpected shows he's had to perform while on the road. Avi recalls one of his worst gigs ever, entertaining a rowdy crowd of drunk U.S. Marines, before he and Adam look back on their early days grinding it out at open mics. Adam shares the story of waiting all day for his shot at The Laugh Factory, only to be bumped by Pauly Shore, and explains why he's never liked bumping other comics himself. The two then dive into the current state of stand-up, with Avi offering his honest take on crowd work and roast comics.In the news, Elisha Krauss stops by with some of the week's trending headlines. They react to the story of Rampage Jackson's son, Raja, who is under investigation for a ruthless attack at a Los Angeles wrestling event. They also take a lighter turn with the viral clip of New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani failing at a bench press attempt during Men's Day in Brooklyn — a moment that earned him public ribbing from political rivals like Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams.Later, acclaimed chef Brad Kilgore joins the show for a mouthwatering conversation about pizza and the restaurant industry. Adam asks Brad to weigh in on the best style of pizza, before the two bond over their love of meatballs and debate the merits of ricotta cheese. They also discuss how chefs put creative spins on traditional dishes, while Adam samples slices of Brad's famous pizza and doubles down on his love for thin-crust New York style. The conversation expands to the challenges of running a restaurant today, before the two swap topping preferences — from their shared love of olives to Brad's favorite bacon combinations, and Adam's surprisingly controversial take on bacon itself.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH AVI LIBERMAN:BOOK: Stranger Gigs - Available NOW on AmazonTouring Israel in October 8-12 benefitting the Koby Mandell FoundationINSTAGRAM: @avilibermancomedyWEBSITE: aviliberman.com FOR MORE WITH ELISHA KRAUSS: INSTAGRAM: @elishakraussWEBSITE: elishakrauss.com JOURNAL: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/author/elisha-krauss/FOR MORE WITH BRAD KILGORE: PIZZA: Pizza Freak Co - Frozen pizza shipped to your door WEBSITE: Pizzafreakco.comINSTAGRAM: @brad_kilgoreThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlinehomes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvGo to https://hometitlelock.com/adamcarolla and use promo code ADAM to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!

Russ Van Wyk discusses the inaugural Gene Van Wyk Bench Press Championships coming up in December.

Police officer by day, power lifter when off duty, he just recently lifted or bench pressed 656 pounds! That's a new record at the competition he was at in Birmingham - the World Police and Fire Games. How does that strength fit into his law enforcement job? What's his training and meals look like? How can the rest of us have a similar "never satisifed" mindset in the gym? (2:50) Sgt Garrett Williams, a 17 year veteran of the Columbus Police Dept (in GA), talks about the excitement of winning gold at that world event, but he quickly was like "What's next?" We also discuss how he started getting into power lifitng as a "short fat kid" in middle school. (9:42) Being big and strong can also be a valuable weapon as a police officer, as the Sgt explains. Along with the exercise culture at CPD, he also gives details about food intake - which, for him, can be as a much as 6,800 calories per day. That number is dropping quite a bit lately, to drop some weight off his 390 pound frame. What are his go-to and cheat foods? (15:45) Garrett also gets into how often he goes to the gym, hours put in at Body Evolution in Columbus...pain involved with all the training...benefits of working out with other strongmen...why he enjoys the gym culture so much...struggles he's faced over a dozen years of consistently power lifting. (23:57) Back in May, he also placed 1st in the super heavyweight division, winning Georgia Strongest Man, but now is kinda retiring from most competitions. It's about the journey! That journey included playing college football...and now getting cheered on by his fellow police officers, receiving messages from around the world after his 656 pound record in a video that's gone somewhat viral, and a supportive wife (their 14th wedding anniversary on that competition day). After a little about his police job and how he may rep the force in Australia in 2027 to try and break his own record, (35:56) Garrett gives us insight into the mental toughness aspect of power lifting - subconsciously going inward with muffled sounds, when he's getting hyped up to lift - and resilience, bravery needed for police work too. Again, big congrats to Sgt Williams! Follow him on instagram to see amazing lifting videos at gwill_world_class. And closing out the episode in prayer.

Two years later and hundreds of pounds heavier on the bar — Jimmy Kolb (@kolbstrong) is back on The Powerlifter's Den. The first human to bench 1,200, 1,300, and now 1,400+ pounds breaks down the mindset it takes to push the impossible even further. From reverse grip secrets to what's next in his chase for 1,500, Jimmy opens up about staying grounded, staying dangerous, and why he'll never settle.

A lot of people turn to the bench press to build their chest, but it might not be the most effective or safest way to do it. While it's a common gym staple, the bench press doesn't allow your chest to go through its full range of motion and can put extra stress on your shoulders. If your goal is to grow your pecs, exercises like cable flies or the pec deck could actually do a better job.It all comes down to range of motion. Choosing movements that let your muscles fully stretch and contract can lead to better results and help avoid injury. It's not always about lifting heavier it's about training smarter and working with your body, not against it.Highlights of the Podcast00:03 – Why Bench Press Isn't Ideal00:45 – Full Range of Motion Is Key01:26 – Best Exercises for Chest Growth02:22 – Bench Press Works Triceps More03:05 – Dumbbells Over Barbells04:19 – Training Tip: Use a Spotter05:21 – Safer Leg Training Alternatives06:17 – Range of Motion = Muscle Growth07:03 – Squats and Glute Growth08:27 – Functional Training Over Numbers09:00 – Final Takeaway: Stretch + Contract Fully

What separates consultancies that tick along from those that thrive? According to this episode's guest, it's all about one thing: profit on purpose. In this episode, Nick sits down with Peter Czapp - Co-Founder of the Wow Company, The Consultancy Growth Network and the brains behind BenchPress, the consultancy benchmark report - to dig into the financial side of consulting that too many firms overlook.

We cover: ✅ Why only 37% of consultancies hit 50% gross margin, and how to make sure you're one of them ✅ The power of positioning and why niche isn't a dirty word ✅ Pricing strategies that reflect value, not just time ✅ How to build a culture that embraces profitability without killing your vibe ✅ The reporting metrics that actually matter and the one predictive stat Peter swears by ✅ Why real growth starts with intentionality Whether you're leading a consultancy, thinking about profitability, or just tired of vague advice and want practical tools, this one's for you.

Is the bench press overrated—or just misunderstood? In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson challenge the default status of the bench press in most lifters' routines. Whether you're trying to get stronger, avoid pain, or train for the long haul, this conversation will help you rethink the bench's role in your program—and whether it's serving your goals.

I'm back. Maybe. The sad truth about the animal crossing bridge on the 101. Starbucks probably got rid of their brownie, because it was my favorite treat from there, and anything that I like in this life will be systematically taken away from. (Like TGI Fridays) The two-cookie conundrum. Restaurant workers that don't put utensils in their Doordash orders should literally be dragged to hell. I put up 265, no sweat! The untapped potential of Cyril Rampahosa. You thought “Diddy parties” were rough, wait til you hear about Hussein parties! Deadguy is still bringin it.

Ten years ago we got an awesome study on powerlifters and weightlifters maxing out in the squat daily. Now, a group of physical therapy students have replicated that study, but in the bench press instead. You read that right. Bench press. Maxing out. Every day for more than a month. Plus back-off sets. That's a lot of bench pressing. But did they die? Super fun study and lots to talk about. Afterwards, around 25 minutes in, we discuss Daniel's results from a 6-week cycle of our training program Squat Samba. Did he set a new lifetime PR? *** Do you like what you hear so far?

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Laurel and Sarah explore why power training deserves a spot in your movement routine—especially as you age. They kick things off by reviewing the different types of strength before introducing the concept of power, breaking down the fact that, yes, there are different types of power too.You'll hear why power is critical for balance, fall prevention, and quick, reactive movements that keep you moving safely and independently in daily life. Laurel and Sarah explain how power tends to decline faster than strength as we get older—and why that matters—along with how the right kind of training can help you maintain and even improve it.They share real-world examples of power in action, clear up common misconceptions, and highlight the key principles that make power training both safe and effective. Plus, they give a sneak peek into their upcoming course designed to make power training approachable, progressive, and even—dare we say—fun.SIGN UP HERE to take a free Bone Density Course class with us LIVE April 26th 8am PT / 11am ETFollow @MovementLogicTutorials on Instagram00:00 Introduction and Banter00:15 Discussion on PTs Calling Themselves Doctors01:17 Observations about the Bench Press from Recent Classes05:05 Upcoming Free Bone Density Class07:08 Series on Physical Capacities for Longevity10:11 Strength vs. Power11:54 Importance of Power Training for Older Adults38:43 Force-Velocity Curve Explained44:58 Types of Power49:08 Applying Strength and Power in Sports and Daily Life57:19 Neuromuscular Adaptations in Strength and Power Training01:02:35 The Stretch Shortening Cycle and Power Training01:08:07 The Importance of Power Training for Longevity01:21:08 Cultural Misconceptions About Power Training01:24:53 Teaser for Our New Course on Power01:27:48 Conclusion: The Importance of Power TrainingRESOURCESEpisode 60: Dismantling Long & Lean Pt. 1Episode 90: Capacities for Longevity Pt. 1: StrengthSys review and MA: Power v Strength for Older AdultsSys Review and MA: Power to Reduce Falls RiskForce Velocity Curve (the banana!)Episode 37: Plyometrics - More Bang for Your BonesLachlan James paper - Not All Strength is Created Equal + Table from NSCA with Each Classification

Strap in, print nerds, because this week we're coming to you live from the wild and inky trenches of the Staple and Stitch Artist Book Fair at 21C Chicago! First up, we've got Angee Lennard and Jessica Cochran from Process Process Print Publishers—the dynamic duo that's doing god's work by helping artists get their process-based, experimental prints out into the world (or at least onto some beautiful paper). These two are the real deal: no pretentious art-speak, just raw, creative energy making print magic happen. Then, just when you thought the paper party couldn't get any better, Madeleine Aguilar from Bench Press Publications joins us to lay down some serious knowledge about the Chicago art book scene. Bench Press is the indie press you want to be in the know about—they're cranking limited-run artist books that'll make you want to throw all your digital content in the trash. We recorded this maudlin crew, so enjoy the ambient sounds of over-caffeinated art students and print enthusiasts buzzing around, plus a few awkward microphone mishaps. It's all part of the charm! Episode Highlights: Angie and Jessica talk about the blood, sweat, and squeegees behind Process Process Print Publishers—and why the process is as important as the product. Bench Press Publications: indie publishing that's both scrappy and impossibly cool. Madeleine breaks down the beauty of small-batch, collectible art books and why limited edition is more than just a buzzword. The absolute chaos and joy of recording this episode at Staple and Stitch in the heart of the art scene at 21C Chicago.

Amid warnings of a constitutional crisis, Jen Psaki breaks down the ways that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are laying the groundwork to openly defy court orders, and may already have. Former Federal Judge Nancy Gertner joins to discuss the judiciary's ability to keep Trump's illegal actions in check, as he and his allies push the limits of the constitution. Next, Jen is joined by Senator Ron Wyden to discuss Trump and Elon Musk's takeover of the federal government and why he believes their infiltration of sensitive payment systems constitute a coup. Then, Jen is joined by Representative Jasmine Crockett and PA State Representative Malcom Kenyatta, the newly elected DNC vice chair, to discuss Democratic efforts to fight back, including the possibility of forcing a government shutdown to stop Trump and Musk's assault on federal agencies. Later, Jen breaks down Trump's efforts to stack our intelligence and law enforcement agencies with people who put loyalty first, including asking new hires whether January 6 was an "inside job." She is joined by Representative Jim Himes to discuss his concerns about Trump's loyal tests and potential national security vulnerabilities posed by Musk's DOGE team. Finally, Jen shares a preview of her wide-ranging conversation with Governor Wes Moore - the first guest on her new podcast 'The Blueprint'.Check out our social pages below:https://twitter.com/InsideWithPsakihttps://www.instagram.com/InsideWithPsaki/https://www.tiktok.com/@insidewithpsakihttps://www.msnbc.com/jen-psaki
