Jared Freid welcomes comedian Shaun Murphy to Chit Chat Wednesday for a wide-ranging hang that covers stand-up life, dating, body image, nerd culture, and what happens when your comedy special includes a joke about your own skinny dick. Shaun talks about his new YouTube special Long Story Thin, growing up in Buffalo, balancing sports fandom with nerd energy, and navigating family, relationships, and confidence on stage. The two dig into watching other comedians, staying relatable when success hits, Ozempic, cookie rankings (Tate's truthers unite), Star Wars vs Harry Potter, and why Andor might actually be the best show ever made. Plus, Jared puts Shaun through a “Nerd or Not a Nerd” game that somehow connects Zelda, Buffalo Bills trauma, and comedy authenticity.Check out Shaun's new special today!

After three successful albums and becoming a world wide phenomenon, Pearl Jam entered 1996 ready to put out a new album and shift the dynamics of their song writing in a direction that perhaps the world wasn't ready for. To the wayside went some of the aggression and raw power that dominated Vitalogy opting for a more self reflective approach for No Code. The live shows were still without Ticketmaster, but continued to evolve, and this became the first year where we got to see marathon performances reaching nearly three hours and over 30 songs featured on the set. The 1996 representative for our Chronology Series is a show from Buffalo, New York that had everything you'd want from this era - flawless performances and an energized crowd. We invite our good friend, Steve Bennett, back to the podcast this week to talk about this show being his first of nearly 100 that he's attended. And the stories here are can't miss. From failing to get tickets through an 800 number to dealing with brokers through the newspaper as a fifteen year old, it is the classic story of how far a high school student was willing to go in order to experience this band. And for it to be life changing once stepping inside the arena makes all the difference. This show marks the first non-VIP event in the building that's housed the Sabres for 30 years, and Pearl Jam would go on to play there three more times in following tours. Steve's stories will dominate the conversation, but we'll also dig into the next step that this band took to develop a more mature sound in their music. We'll spend some time talking about how Present Tense marked massive changes for the band's mentality, and how even a song like Better Man was greatly improved upon since the following tour in 1995.

A tunnel can ride out a fire without collapsing (or even critical visible structural damage), but a question whether it is safe for operations, and what is its long-term residual fire resistance remains. With repair bills being in high seven-eight figures, this is more than just a theoretical question... In this episode we dig into the hard middle ground of fire damage post mild/large fires, and cover where modeling and fire science can help reducing the uncertainty and guiding decisions. With Professor Negar Elhami-Khorasani from University at Buffalo, we map how ventilation settings, tunnel slope, and fuel push temperatures into either safe or punishing regimes, and why spalling can turn a survivable event into a structural headache.We break spalling down to first principles—vapor pressure, thermal gradients, and restraint—then translate that into a practical method: update the section as concrete “disappears” so the thermal boundary moves and heat penetrates realistically. From there, we track damage you can act on: concrete volumes beyond 300°C, steel temperatures that risk incomplete recovery, and bond loss that forces major repairs. Just as important, we model through cooling, when heat keeps migrating and residual capacity sinks. The result isn't a guess; it's a bounded map of what to replace and why.We also take on the tactical questions that matter: How long would an extreme fire need to threaten collapse, given different soils and depths? What's the real value of polypropylene fibers in high-strength mixes? How should owners structure a fast, post-fire workflow—quick checks for reopening within days, followed by a deeper, simulation-informed durability plan? By pairing observed spalling and known operations with targeted heat transfer and mechanical analysis, you can reconstruct the event, communicate risk clearly, and spend repair budgets where they return the most resilience.If you care about structural fire engineering, tunnel safety, spalling mitigation, and performance-based design that reduces downtime, this conversation delivers a roadmap you can use.Further reading - recommended papers by Negar Elhami-Khorasani and her team:Structural fire behavior of tunnel sections: assessing the effects of full burnout and spalling effectsNumerical modeling of the fire behavior of reinforced concrete tunnel slabs during heating and coolingFire Damage Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Tunnel Linings----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

It's Tuesday which means it's time for a new Hallmark movie review!ABOUT BECAUSE OF CUPIDFollows Naomi and Marcus, best friends and bartenders in Buffalo, New York, who enter a Valentine's Day mocktail contest to kickstart their dream business. After unknowingly adding a real love potion to their mocktail, they win the competition but spark chaos when judges-and Marcus-fall under its spell. As media attention grows, they race to find an antidote, questioning whether their own feelings are real. Ultimately, they discover their love is genuine, secure a career-making deal, and realize that the true magic was between them all along.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR BECAUSE OF CUPIDFebruary 14, 2026 | HallmarkCAST & CREW OF BECAUSE OF CUPIDAmy Groening as NaomiEvan Roderick as MarcusAdam Tsekhman as HalBRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSISMeet Naomi and Marcus - best friends and co-workers. They're working at this bar but the owner is getting ready to sell it. Naomi and Marcus really don't want it to. Naomi has a plan to save it - mocktails. One day, EJ Cortland comes in. He's a famous romantasy author but no one knows that he's a he. The owner is a big fan and they get to talking. They're hitting it off until suddenly they're not. We find out that Marcus is very cynical about love. But when Naomi walks away, he opens up to this guy about being in love with her. This guy turns out to be a tea boy. Naomi really wants to work tea into a mocktail so he invites them to come to a tasting. When they go to the tasting, the dude gives Marcus a vial of tea that he says will make someone fall in love. Marcus is like wtf. Dude is like it's like how ginger soothes the tummy. Fair enough, guy.There's this mocktail competition coming up that Marcus' rich uncle gets him and Naomi into.She decides to make a little something something that night and includes the cupid juice, which she doesn't know about. She gives the drink to a ton of people, including Marcus. When Marcus gets on stage and sings a love song to Naomi. He figures out what happens - he insists to Naomi that he was already in love with her. But they gotta go check on everyone else that got some of the drink. And they are WILDDDDLY in love.They go and they find the Cupid guy, "Hal". He is disappointed to find out that she didn't drink it, but he does give them the recipe to the antidote.It takes some time but they're able to figure out what the actual recipe. But they do, and they start giving it to everyone that drank the drink. Some of them fall right out of love, but some of them (who were really in love beforehand) stay in love.Naomi is really liking this new Marcus. She really doesn't want him to take the antidote. He is like I promise I've loved you.It's time for the competition AND THEY WIN!!!Speaking of winning, Marcus' uncle gets married - potion or no potion, my guy is in love. At the reception, Cupid is there and gives Marcus the antidote. It turns out....he wasn't under the spell of the potion at all. It takes two to tango.Naomi realizes she's in love with him too and sings him a love song too. He tells her that he hasn't been under a spell this entire time.And the good news keeps coming....their boss is basically giving them the bar. YAY! They celebrate by dancing and kissing.

Kenny Bedwell explains why short-term rentals are harder today—and how data, design, and discipline still create outsized returns.In this episode of RealDealChat, Kenny Bedwell—short-term rental investor, former Citibank data analyst, and founder of STR Insights—breaks down what has actually changed in the Airbnb market over the last eight years.Kenny shares his journey from house hacking a duplex in Buffalo to owning short-term rentals across multiple states and even operating a hotel. We dive into why the “throw it on Airbnb and print money” era is over, how competition and regulation reshaped the landscape, and why data—not hype—must drive every STR decision today.This conversation covers how Kenny uses nationwide data to identify high-ROI markets most investors overlook, why regulated markets can still outperform, how to self-manage STRs without burning out, and what amenities and design choices actually move the revenue needle. Kenny also shares his most expensive mistakes, why parking and neighbors matter more than Instagram aesthetics, and how to think about guest avatars instead of generic “travelers.”If you're considering short-term rentals—or already in the game and feeling squeezed—this episode will reset your expectations and sharpen your strategy.

When an Australian thrash band that never broke big in the U.S. gets compared to early Metallica, Slayer, and Maiden in the same breath, you know you've stumbled onto something special. This episode dives into Mortal Sin's 1986 debut Mayhemic Destruction—a ferocious, drum‑heavy, DIY thrash record from Sydney that plays like a missing puzzle piece in 80s metal history.Across the conversation, the hosts unpack how Mortal Sin emerged out of Australia's pub‑rock and Buffalo‑style heavy scene into a faster, more aggressive sound after drummer Wayne Campbell discovered Metallica through tape‑trading in 1984. They trace the band's rapid rise from self‑funded studio upstarts to landing a global deal, touring with Metallica, Megadeth, and Testament, and struggling with that classic “too big for pubs, too small for arenas” problem back home. Along the way, they dig into the band's revolving‑door lineup, eerie mystery around the original drummer's disappearance, and the evolution of Mortal Sin's sound across later records.Musically, the episode zeroes in on what makes Mayhemic Destruction such a compelling outlier in 80s thrash. The drums and low end dominate the mix in a way that completely inverts the American template, forcing listeners to dig for the guitars and exposing a strange, rewarding hybrid of thrash, New Wave of British Heavy Metal, power metal, Motörhead grit, and proto‑death‑metal experiments on the title track. There's plenty of love for the riffs, time‑changes, and dark modal choices in songs like “The Curse” and “Lebanon,” but also honest criticism of the limited, Hetfield‑ish vocal approach and the odd sequencing choices that bury some of the strongest material in the back half.If you're into 80s thrash metal, early Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, NWOBHM, or obscure Australian metal bands that never quite got their due, this deep dive into Mortal Sin and Mayhemic Destruction is absolutely in your wheelhouse. It's a conversation about more than one album—it's about how geography, timing, and weird production decisions can turn a record into a cult artifact waiting to be rediscovered.Episode Highlights0:00 – Mayhem from Sydney – Setting up Mortal Sin, Mayhemic Destruction, and why this Australian thrash debut matters in the 80s metal landscape.5:05 – Battle jackets and logos – Gavin's origin story with Mortal Sin via patches, Kerrang! mags, and why some bands lived as imagery long before you ever heard a note.7:00 – Band history and lineup chaos – From Sydney origins and early rehearsals with Lino to global deals, tours with Metallica and Megadeth, and constant guitar player turnover.12:05 – DIY Mega Metal and Hetfield's stamp – Recording at 301 Studios, self‑releasing the album, mailing it out like a zine, and landing James Hetfield's 1986 endorsement.17:20 – “The Curse” – How the opening riffing, harmonics, and dissonant second‑guitar lines signal that Mortal Sin aren't just copying Bay Area thrash.22:30 – Drum mix from another planet – Why the massive, low‑end‑heavy drum sound flips the usual thrash hierarchy and changes how you hear the riffs and groove.24:50 – “Lebanon” – Dark, almost Slayer‑like scales, Dokken/Mr. Scary vibes, and how this track becomes a standout for mood and melody.25:30 – Thrash without a ballad – The near‑total absence of slow songs, the fake‑out intro of “Liar,” and what that says about the band's commitment to speed and aggression.30:15 – Honest strengths and weak spots – Praise for the riffs and rhythm section, plus a candid look at the limited vocals, buried mixes, and backward‑feeling sequencing.35:25 – Album art, demons, and Sydney in ruins – The Dungeons & Dragons‑style cover, nuked‑city imagery, and why this screamed “Tipper Gore nightmare” in the 80s.35:30 – “Mayhemic Destruction” (title track) – Proto‑death‑metal vocals and blast beats a year before Death's Scream Bloody Gore, and why burying it as the closer was a smart move.40:30 – Live vs. studio – What the 20th anniversary live tracks reveal about the band's true sound compared to the unique, drum‑heavy studio mix.[45:00 – Final verdict – Is Mayhemic Destruction a worthy album, a decent single, or a lost cult gem in the Australian thrash canon?Love uncovering 80s metal obscurities and lost thrash gems?

Imagine a 6'2 lefty sniper who can shoot you out of a zone, drop 38 in a revenge game, and still tell you she doesn't need Hollywood — she just needs her people.That's Bella Ragone.Georgia High School Player of the Year. Top 25 in the Class of 2026. Five-star recruit. Notre Dame women's basketball signee. And in this episode of SportsLifeTalk – You Got Next (Savage Season), Bella opens up about her journey from NFL sidelines to Georgia hardwood greatness — and why loyalty and faith shaped her rise.Bella's life wasn't built in one zip code. With her dad coaching in the NFL, moving was normal. She's lived in Louisville, Tennessee, Virginia/D.C., Chicago, Georgia, and even around Los Angeles. But when her dad joined the Rams and relocated to L.A., Bella made a defining decision — she stayed in Georgia. Not for spotlight. For stability. As she said, “I just need my people.” That mindset reveals everything about her foundation.Her basketball story didn't start with hype. She played multiple sports growing up. But in middle school, it clicked. She realized she was good. She loved the grind. She wasn't burning out. That's when the game became serious.Bella calls herself a “three-way player.” Translation: true three-level scorer. She takes pride in her jump shot — deep range, quick release, and a deadly one-dribble pull-up. As a lefty, she naturally creates angles defenders struggle with. Over the past two years, she's extended her range and sharpened her off-the-bounce scoring. When teams tried zone? She smiled and said, “That wasn't a good idea.”Her defining moment came in the region tournament. Third matchup against a team that had already beaten them twice. Home floor. Pressure packed. Bella decided, “This has to be my game.” Final stat line — 38 points while her team scored 50 total. She carried them into the region championship and delivered one of the coldest performances of the season. That wasn't stat padding. That was ownership.Her commitment to Notre Dame women's basketball wasn't based on rankings. It was about fit, faith, academics, and relationships. A Catholic university aligned with her values. A culture built on family. Coaches who invested in her as a person. She's joining a special freshman class — and she knows it.The basketball DNA runs deep. Her mom played Division I at Louisville after moving from Estonia at 15 and learning a new language. Bella wears #5 in honor of her mom's jersey number. Her dad, also a lefty, trained her and sharpened her competitive edge. Add in a Division I quarterback brother, and you get a household built on competition and discipline.When NIL opportunities came up, Bella didn't overthink it. She said Lululemon. Authentic. Clean. Real. That kind of clarity matters in today's NIL era.Off the court, she keeps it grounded — spending time with friends, supporting other sports, traveling, and protecting her energy. Her favorite local food spot? Buffalo's. Order: Kickin' Chicken Wrap. Simple comfort.During SLT Initiation, her Top 5 artists included Drake, SZA, Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, and Kendrick Lamar. Favorite superhero? Black Widow — independent and powerful. Theme song? “Over” by Drake. The biggest lesson basketball taught her? Resilience — pushing through fatigue and pressure when it would be easier to fold.Right now, Bella's focus is healing, staying healthy, and preparing for her freshman season at Notre Dame. Long-term goals? Win a national championship. Earn individual accolades. Bring a title back to South Bend. Her words were clear: “We deserve it.”Bella Ragone didn't choose the spotlight. She chose stability. She didn't chase hype. She built foundation.She's not just next.She's built.

After years of sustained success under Sean McDermott, the Bills have entered a new era with Joe Brady at the helm and Jim Leonhard leading a defensive overhaul. Matt Parrino welcomes NFL insider Mike Sando from The Athletic to take stock of the organization. Was firing a winning coach like McDermott a mistake, or a necessary "emotional reset"? The guys discuss the immense pressure on Joe Brady in 2026, the hiring of veteran John Fox, and why last season felt eerily similar to John Madden's Super Bowl season with the Raiders. In this episode: The "static" that led to the end of the McDermott era. Why the Bills chose Joe Brady over a wider search (Klint Kubiak). The Madden Parallel: Mike Sando explains the fascinating historical link between the '70s Raiders and current Bills.

1-2pm - Brad Riter and Tim Graham discuss the Bills and Sabres and the state of Buffalo sports

(Feb 16, 2026) The freestyle aerials ski jumping competition kicks off tomorrow in Italy. Many of the athletes were training in Lake Placid last month. We hear what it's like to jump and flip and turn 50 feet in the air. Also: The controversial Tesla factory in Buffalo, the key part of the "Buffalo Billion" economic development project, is finally meeting its job requirements.

BUFFALO, NY – February 16, 2026 – A new #commentary was #published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on February 6, 2026, titled “Censorship in science: How publishing decisions could have shaped the perceived “general consensus” on COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficacy.” In this commentary, led by Panagis Polykretis of the “Allineare Sanità e Salute” Foundation and the Independent Medical Scientific Commission (CMSi) in Milan, along with colleagues, the authors document a two-year effort to publish a case report and literature review that raised concerns about possible links between mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and rare blood cancers. They argue that editorial decisions, rather than scientific merit, prevented the paper from being published, raising broader questions about transparency and bias in scientific publishing. The commentary outlines the submission history of a previously written case report describing a woman who developed acute lymphoblastic leukemia shortly after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Alongside the case, the original paper reviewed existing studies and regulatory findings related to hematological malignancies. Despite relying on published evidence and maintaining a cautious tone, the manuscript was rejected 16 times before eventually appearing in Oncotarget. According to the authors, most journals rejected the manuscript without external peer review. Three journals allowed it to proceed through peer review, and one journal accepted the paper twice before withdrawing its decision both times. The authors argue that such cancelations, particularly after positive peer review, suggest a pattern of editorial censorship that prioritizes conformity over open scientific debate. The commentary highlights examples of reviewer feedback and editorial statements that, according to the authors, misrepresented the content of the original case report. One rejection asserted that mRNA vaccines cannot cause cancer because they do not integrate into human DNA. The authors respond that this position is overly narrow and overlooks the complex, multifactorial nature of cancer development. They also cite peer-reviewed evidence of DNA contamination in vaccine samples and call for a more balanced and open discussion of these findings. Rather than claiming definitive proof of vaccine-related harm, the authors emphasize the importance of allowing controversial topics to be examined and discussed based on evidence. They argue that suppressing disagreement, even when grounded in published science, can influence public understanding and create the appearance of scientific consensus where meaningful disagreement exists. “This case raises serious concerns: if scientifically sound dissenting research faces systematic exclusion, the resulting literature becomes selectively curated, artificially constructing ‘consensus' while marginalizing legitimate scientific discourse.” The events described in the commentary raise concerns not only about a single case report but also about broader trends in academic publishing. If journal decisions are influenced by public health messaging rather than scientific reasoning, the authors argue that the scientific literature risks becoming selectively curated. They conclude by calling for institutional reform to ensure that editorial processes remain fair, evidence-based, and open to legitimate scientific debate.

The 15th annual Bay Area American Indian Two Spirit Powwow is happening this Valentine's Day. Buffalo's Fire reports that organizers hope that the event goes fine, with participants and volunteers feeling safe and supported as the rawhide drum ushers in the Grand Entry. Tzapotl Flores (Salvi-Mexi Xicana) is a co-chair for the BAAITS powwow. She says, this year, the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is creating concerns. “We are developing very specific ICE protocols internally. We hear these forms of propaganda where Two Spirit people are ‘terrorists.' All of these different attacks on our community, but it's still going to happen. Because it is a tantamount important event that people need.” Another co-chair, Kat Warren, says the Trump administration has made things challenging for Two Spirits and the Native LGTBQ+ community. The president has rolled out executive orders that bans gender affirming care for youth, and defines gender as only male or female, determined at conception. “Y'know a lot of our folks are very concerned about the folks that are going to attend this powwow because we do bring in a lot of folks, and we want to make sure everyone is taken care and able to experience the medicine of the powwow. We see the struggles and we see the ongoing pressure of this administration and we are trying our best to be above it.” BAAITS is regarded as the largest Two Spirit powwow in North America, with non-gender contest dancing and flags representing Native LGBTQ+ and Two Spirit people. The North Fork of the Yellow River on July 17, 2025. (Photo: Danielle Kaeding / WPR) States and tribes would have less power to protect waterways under the Clean Water Act when reviewing energy and infrastructure projects. As Danielle Kaeding reports, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would limit their authority under a new rule. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the changes would protect water quality while ending “weaponization of the law” that has delayed or blocked projects. States and authorized tribes can review the effects of dams, bridges, and pipelines on wetlands and waterways under the Clean Water Act. The proposal would narrow water quality impacts they could consider. Nancy Stoner is an attorney with the Environmental Law and Policy Center. She says the rule would also remove a process that allows tribes to weigh in on federally regulated projects even if they haven't adopted their own programs to set water quality standards. “It puts a huge hurdle in front of tribes that they have to actually adopt a whole water quality standards program in order to look at a federally permitted activity, and what are the impacts on the waters, on the tribal waters.” Only about 15% of federally recognized tribes have received approval from the EPA to adopt their own programs for water quality standards.

Joe Leaphorn in “Dark Winds” Season 4, Episode 3. (Photo: Michael Moriatis / AMC) Franka Potente plays Irene Vaggan. She and McClarnon discuss their dynamic upon their first physical meeting in the season. “He's very vulnerable with no clothes on, half naked, but (Frank laughs) also vulnerable in his life and what he's going through psychologically and emotionally, with the possibility of losing his wife and searching for what the Diné people call ‘hozho’ y'know, the balance and stability in his life. And he's in search of that very much when he meets Irene for the first time. “I'm not connected to the earth anymore so she's very impressed and very enamored with what she's seeing, and she just wants to devour that.” “Dark Winds” premieres Sunday night on AMC.

1. Super Bowl LX Takeaways-DKrom: The last two Super Bowl winners are proof that there's no such thing as too much DL depth-Hal: Seahawks won the battle of attrition and peaked at the right time thanks to their strong depth2. Super Bowl LX Honors-GOAT of the Week (DKrom: John Schneider, Hal: Mike Macdonald)-Dunce of the Week (DKrom: Rams D/ST, Hal: Josh McDaniels)3. Coaching Carousel-Grading the Steelers hire of Mike McCarthy as head coach (DKrom: D, Hal: C-) -Grading the Bills hire of Joe Brady as head coach (DKrom: C, Hal: D) -Grading the Browns hire of Todd Monken as head coach (DKrom: C, Hal: D)-Grading the Cardinals hire of Mike LaFleur as head coach (DKrom: D, Hal: C) -Grading the Raiders hire of Klint Kubiak as head coach (DKrom: A. Hal: A)-Would you be surprised if 2 (or all) of Davis Webb, Grant Udinski and Nate Scheelhaase are NOT head coaches in 2027?-Would you say Aaron Glenn is entering 2026 on the hottest seat of any head coach? -Do you think a potential dumpster fire awaits the Eagles in 2026 (particularly on offense) with Jeff Stoutland no longer in the building? 4. Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026-If the PFHOF doesn't (at MINIMUM) change the selection process for seniors, coaches and contributors back to the pre-2025 system, do we riot (metaphorically speaking of course)?-Outside the Belichick/Kraft snubs, do you think the Hall assembled one of the better classes it has in recent years?-Which one of these three (Willie Anderson, Marshal Yanda, or Terrell Suggs) do you think is most deserving to be enshrined in 2027? 5. Tag or No Tag-George Pickens-Trey Hendrickson-Kyle Pitts-Rashid Shaheed-Tyler Linderbaum-Daniel Jones or Alec Pierce6. Truth or Exaggeration-We will see A LOT more trades than we're accustomed to from March through late August-Either Jeff Bezos or Howard Schultz will end up buying the Seahawks as part of a larger group-Ohio State LB Sonny Styles will hear his name called before fellow Buckeye Caleb Downs on draft night-Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty will lead all NFL skill players in total touches in 2026-Two (or all three) of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Puka Nucua, and Will Anderson, Jr. will receive a blockbuster contract extension averaging $50M per year or more this season -The Patriots OL will have 2 or 3 new starters in 2026-Unless the Raiders significantly move off their demands for a Micah Parsons-type haul in exchange for Maxx Crosby, the Bears should be content to rebuild their DL via the draft and value FA signings-The Los Angeles Chargers will win the AFC West and a playoff game in 2026 7. Offseason Bold Predictions -DKrom: Both Maxx Crosby and A.J. Brown well get traded about a week or so before Week 1. One will end up in Buffalo, and the other will end up in New England. Raiders will end up getting the same compensation the Cowboys got in the Micah Parsons trade and the Eagles will end up getting an extra first and second in 2027. -Hal: Despite only one first-round talent, 3-4 QB's get selected in the first round (Mendoza, Simpson, Nussmeier, Chambliss)8. Challenge Flags-DKrom: Seahawks…only hand out big $$ contracts to in-house extension candidates (Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Devon Witherspoon) and in-house free agents (Kenneth Walker III and Rashid Shaheed). Address your likely FA losses at corner with low-cost, supplementary signings and find long-term answers in the draft-Hal: Bears and Patriots...CONTINUE THE REBUILDING PROCESS

Most people think financial freedom comes from earning more, saving harder, or finding the perfect investment. But the real trap isn't income…it's the way we're taught to store and move money. We're told to separate everything into neat little buckets: checking, savings, mortgage, credit cards, investments. And somehow, even when we're "doing well," the system still feels tight, slow, and exhausting. The traditional system is wildly inefficient by design. A 3–4% mortgage isn't really 3–4% at all. It's closer to 12–15% in simple interest once you account for amortization. Savings accounts paying 1–3% sit right next to debt costing 8–25%, and no one ever teaches us to connect those two dots. We're working hard, being disciplined, and still leaking money through invisible cracks. Instead of playing by those rules, Joseph Kovacevic built a completely different operating system: one pot, one line, one flow. All income goes into a first lien HELOC, and all expenses come out of it.  No idle cash, no artificial separation between "good money" and "bad money." How did he go from using money like everyone else to building an entirely different financial system? Why do people struggle so much to understand and actually implement this system? In this episode, entrepreneur, money mentor, and first lien HELOC specialist Joseph Kovacevic breaks down how he's been running this system for over 15 years - from quitting the railroad, to scaling real estate, to using HELOCs and insurance policies as an integrated financial engine.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Your mortgage interest isn't what you think it is A "low" 3–5% mortgage is actually closer to 12–15% in simple interest over 30 years, so what are you really paying for homeownership? Why savings accounts make you poorer, not safer If you're earning 1–3% in savings while paying 8–25% on debt, are you actually saving, or quietly burning money? The one-pot system that replaces budgeting entirely What happens when all income, expenses, investing, and saving run through a single HELOC instead of 10 separate accounts? How to become the bank instead of borrowing from one From infinite banking to lending your own capital at 12%+, how do you turn cash flow into a self-funding wealth machine?   Guest Bio Joseph Kovacevic is an entrepreneur, Money Mentor, and first lien HELOC specialist.  At 23 years old, he hired out on the railroad for a career that lasted almost 20 years. He has been investing in real estate since 2000. Between managing rental properties and flipping houses, he was able to escape the corporate world and become an entrepreneur. In 2018, he met Chris Naugle at a Home show in Buffalo, NY, and was later introduced to Brent Kesler, who introduced him to IBC. After years of using the Infinite Banking Concept, he now wants to share IBC with everyone. Being a part of The Money School and The Money Multiplier team, he now helps others break away from conformity and pursue their dreams. He is passionate about educating others about the implementation of the Infinite Banking Concept to solve people's money problems.

Hello music lovers, and welcome to another edition of Why Music Matters. I'm your host, music journalist and musician Jeff Miers. Today, my guests represent a cross-generational journey through the ever-evolving world of jazz.  Alex McArthur is a singer and storyteller whose resume reads like that of a musician three times her age. A winner of multiple JazzBuffalo Vocalist of the Year awards, Alex brings a distinct soulfulness to any music she lends her voice to, whether she's singing something she wrote herself, or flexing her interpretive muscles on the works of legends like Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, and Mavis Staples.  Alex is joined today by a man who has acted as a significant mentor in her musical journey.  Pianist George Caldwell is credited by Alex as, quote, “the first person I ever attempted to sing jazz in front of, and the person who encouraged me to explore vocal jazz and improvisation in the first place.”  In his role as Director of the Student Jazz Ensembles and Music Piano Performance Instructor at the University at Buffalo, George has employed his decades of experience as a Grammy-winning professional musician to help mold the musical imaginations of countless young artists-in-the-making.  Those decades of experience include tenures with the Count Basie Orchestra, the Duke Ellington Orchestra, tap dancer and choreographer Saivon Glover, R&B legend Ruth Brown, and right here in Buffalo, the awe-inspiring Star People, a Miles Davis Repertory Ensemble.  Currently, Alex and George are in the midst of performing Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill, a recreation of Billie Holiday's final performance, with Alex inhabiting the role of Lady Day, and George acting as Musical Director.  The show, a MusicalFare production, is running at Shea's Smith Theatre in Buffalo's Theatre and Entertainment District, through February 15. (You can learn more about the production and purchase tickets through musicalfare.com.)  Welcome to Why Music Matters, Alex McArthur and George Caldwell!
