We kick things off with the three things! Utah voters sent shockwaves through the Legislature — Senate President Stuart Adams conceded after trailing challenger Stephanie Hollist, losing his seat. Plus, a lethal rabbit virus returns to Utah for the first time since 2022. We go behind the scenes of wildfire management with North Tooele Fire Department PIO, Jon Smith. Then, Utah Division of Air Quality Director Bryce Bird joins us as Salt Lake City hits #1 worst air quality in the U.S. — what can you actually do to protect yourself and your family?

In this episode, we kick off the summer by denominating a colorful attitude toward dress manifesting bicoastally. Epitomized by brands like Emily Dawn Long, Brooke Callahan, and Cleo Camp, Crayola Casual is the funky counterpart to freaky minimalism— accessory agnostic, anti-synthetic, built around hot saturated colors and the art of the easy-on easy-off. We review this aesthetic's historical antecedents, from fluid disco formalwear of the 70s (Halston, Stephen Burrows) to globalist chic sportswear of the 80s (Esprit, United Colors of Benetton). We also discuss Downtown New York's Maryam Nassir Zadeh as the missing link, classics of rainbow urbanism including Sesame Street and the Vignelli Subway Map, our predictions for an aerobics renaissance, and the creative exuberance of a season of parades, pop-ups, and pennants.Links: Image boardCleo CampBrooke CallahanEmily Dawn LongRummage Stretch“Vintage Sportswear Will Crush Your Alo Yoga Sets” by Liana Satenstein for NeverwornsAllegra Samsen on InstagramVentriloquist Sophie Becker for Paloma Wool“The Accidental Trendsetter” by Emilia Petrarca in The New York Times (Emily Dawn Long profile)“The Sisterhood of the Unraveling Pants” by Sarah Shapiro in Puck (on the rise of the easy pant)“The Sexy Sincerity of Maryam Nassir Zadeh” by Rachel Tashjian in Harper's Bazaar“How Does Maryam Nassir Zadeh Stay in Business?” by Madeline Leung Coleman in The Cut“1970–1979” from FIT's Fashion History Timeline“A 1970s Fashion History Lesson: Disco, Designer Denim, and the Liberated Woman” by Lilah Ramzi in Vogue“The Halstonettes” by The Museum at FIT from the 2015 exhibit Yves Saint Laurent + Halston: Fashioning the 70s“Stephen Burrows, the CFDA's 2024 Lifetime Achievement Winner, in the Words of 7 of His Closest Collaborators” by Laird Borrelli-Persson in Vogue“The Radical History of Sesame Street” by Figgy Guyver in Frieze“The Quintessential Urban Design of Sesame Street” by Anna Kodé in The New York Times“Towards a Better Way: The “Vignelli” Map at 50” (Digital Exhibit) – New York Transit MuseumSupergraphic Ultramodern – Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute“The rise and fall of Esprit, San Francisco's coolest clothing brand” by Joshua Bote in SFGATE“opening ceremony's founders on how esprit changed fashion (and the world)” – i-D “Esprit's Brand Books” by Jill Singer in Sight Unseen (on Esprit: The Comprehensive Design Principle from 1989)“From Plain Jane to Esprit: The Making of a California Icon” by Bertrand Pellegrin“Benetton: Celebrating a Colorful History” by Amanda Kaiser in WWD“History” – Gap, Inc.“Khaki Swing” – 1998 Gap Commercial on YouTubeSomething Wild (1986) dir.

What separates an admirer of Jesus from an actual disciple? That's the question sitting underneath this week's gospel, and it's not a comfortable one, especially on a Father's Day weekend.Jesus is sending his twelve disciples out into the world, and he's honest with them about what's ahead: opposition, rejection, even division within their own families. Three times he tells them the same thing, don't be afraid. Not because the road will be easy, but because they won't walk it alone. Not one sparrow falls to the ground apart from God's knowing. Every hair on your head is numbered. You are known, completely, even in the hard parts.This message asks us to look honestly at our own faith, not in dramatic, headline-making moments, but in the thousand small decisions that make up an ordinary day. Choosing forgiveness over resentment. Showing up when it would be easier not to. Loving someone who's hard to love. That's where discipleship actually lives.Casual disciples show up when it's convenient. Something else entirely is being asked of us, and it starts today, right where you are.

"The words we use hold immense weight. Casual phrasing can unintentionally construct limiting negative core memories or cap your true potential." In this episode of The Slight Shift Show, Angela and Chris delve into the psychology of language, sharing how a teacher's critical note from thirty years ago and a coach's selection decision left lasting imprints on their career trajectories. To combat these linguistic traps, they challenge you to a quick vocabulary audit, breaking down the exact words you need to drop, replace, and respect to achieve a mindset shift. If you consider yourself a high achiever, busy professional, growing a business or building a demanding career, find out why words matter and how you can choose them to grow personally and professionally. Key Discussion Points Words to Eliminate: "Someday": Punting goals to an ambiguous future gives you permission to delay action indefinitely. The solution is to put it on the calendar immediately. "Must": A highly controlling, obligatory word that instantly drains your energy and lowers body language. Words to Replace: "Try" and "Should": Both words inherently offer a permission slip to fail. Shift your phrasing to present-tense action words like "I will," "I choose to," or "I get to." The Most Powerful Words: "I Am": The ultimate phrase of direct ownership. What you attach to "I am" defines your immediate identity and reality. "Just": A dangerous qualifier that subtly negates your value and strips away professional and personal pride. Join Chris and Angela and learn more about how you can choose your thoughts and words carefully!

Episode 251: Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada explore a simple question that many people rarely stop to consider: What happens when we stop talking to strangers? The conversation begins with a friend of Rada’s who seems to have a gift for striking up conversations wherever he goes — at ballgames, restaurants, airports and coffee shops. Those interactions are rarely awkward and often leave both people feeling better than before. That observation leads to a broader discussion about why many of us seem less likely to engage with unfamiliar people than we once were. Drawing on research and personal experience, the hosts examine the surprising finding that conversations with strangers generally go much better than people expect. While many people worry about awkwardness, rejection or inconvenience, studies suggest that brief social interactions often leave participants feeling happier, more connected and more optimistic about the people around them. The hosts also explore how modern technology has changed everyday social habits. Text messages, smartphones, self-checkout lanes, food delivery apps and remote work offer convenience, but they can also reduce opportunities for casual human interaction. As these small encounters disappear, people may lose important opportunities to practice social skills, build confidence and develop curiosity about others. Throughout the discussion, Kyte argues that curiosity plays a central role in meaningful human connection. Whether asking someone where they grew up, commenting on a shared experience, or simply noticing something interesting about another person, small acts of curiosity can open the door to unexpected conversations and new perspectives. The hosts reflect on how journalism, travel and even chance encounters have revealed that most people are far more interesting than they initially appear. The episode also examines the broader impact these interactions can have on communities. Casual conversations help build trust, strengthen social networks and remind people that those around them are not simply strangers, but fellow human beings. Kyte discusses how communities with stronger social connections often create more opportunities for belonging, friendship and economic mobility.

Join Todd Rogers, Co-founder and CEO of Moddy AI, for a paradigm-shifting exploration into the true nature of the artificial intelligence boom. For the past decade, building a production-ready predictive sports modeling business required millions of dollars in capital, an elite army of data scientists, and bespoke backend architectures—culminating in complex tools that only other data scientists could decipher. In this episode, Todd maps out how advanced LLMs and automated engineering workflows have completely rewritten this equation, moving past basic software optimization to open up entirely new categories of consumer and business software that were previously impossible to build.

Direct-to-consumer is finally out of the shadows. Eight public studios just revealed how much revenue they drive through D2C — and the numbers make the case better than any pitch could. But there's a window closing, and the studios moving now are the ones who'll win.We are joined by Chip Thurston (FastSpring) for a D2C deep-dive built around the Pocket Gamer report aggregating publicly disclosed D2C revenue. They break down the three cohorts (social casino, mid-core, casual) and what each tells us, the standout data points (Playtika at 39% of revenue, Fishing Clash at 33%, Double Down at 44%), the difference between direct-checkout links and web stores and why you need both, Google's new External Content Links policy, the still-unapproved Epic v. Google settlement and its 20% linked-payment fee, where Apple's appeals stand after the Supreme Court declined to hear them, and the single most actionable takeaway: maximize US D2C traffic today, while you can still steer without fees.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Cold open — maximize US D2C traffic today01:35 The Pocket Gamer D2C report and why it matters05:35 The three cohorts — social casino, mid-core, casual11:50 Direct checkout vs web store — the frictionless path16:00 Google's External Content Links policy explained21:20 The Epic v.

He lived the Gospel for 30 days... then decided to get baptized! We're learning everything we can about "Chris the Casual"!In this raw and inspiring Ward Radio live stream, Cardon Ellis and Brittany the Shadow welcome Chris the Casual (Chris Ross) — a former self-described Satanist who had a life-changing encounter with LDS missionaries and is now preparing for baptism in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Chris shares his unfiltered journey: meeting missionaries while waiting for his fiancé, initially mocking the Church, feeling the Spirit, deleting his critical videos, committing to serious study, and taking the 30-day “live like a Mormon” challenge (including going cold turkey on his beloved Reese's iced coffee!). He opens up about his honest doctrinal questions around Heavenly Mother and the nature of God, his deep love for the temple, and how the Church's teachings align more with the Bible than he expected. He also talks about the profound positive changes in his life and his current path toward baptism after marriage.This is a must-watch for investigators, new members, and anyone who loves powerful stories of faith.Timestamps / Chapter Markers:00:00 – Welcome & Introducing Chris the Casual02:25 – Chris Tells His Origin Story (Tennessee, Fiancé & Satanist Past)04:00 – What “Satanist” Actually Meant to Him06:15 – Feeling the Spirit & Returning to Church07:33 – The 30-Day “Live Like a Mormon” Challenge09:54 – Cardon Shares His Mission Invitation Story11:35 – How the Journey Has Been Received (Antis & Cookies)15:22 – Brittany Asks: What Was the Most Challenging Part?15:36 – Giving Up Coffee Cold Turkey (Reese's Iced Coffee!)16:08 – Chris's Religious Background Growing Up20:16 – Anti-Mormon Rabbit Holes & “Magic Underwear” Questions22:13 – Word of Wisdom Struggle & Setting a Baptismal Date23:32 – Biggest Doctrinal Hangups: Heavenly Mother & God of Flesh and Bone25:54 – Still Iffy but Prioritizing Following Christ36:59 – What He Loves Most: Temples & Their Biblical Connection40:55 – Family & Fiancé's Reactions to His Changes48:29 – Current Status: Wants Baptism After Marriage (Hoping for July)53:58 – Super Chats Begin (Location, Name Origin, etc.)58:58 – His Experience in the Ward Radio Discord01:03:47 – What Finally Convinced Him to Want to Join01:07:51 – One Thing He Wishes the Church Would Change (Energy Drinks)01:15:33 – Final Thoughts: Follow the SpiritCheck out Chris the Casual on YouTube for more of his journey!wardradio.com#WardRadio #LDS #Mormon #ConversionStory #Investigator #BookofMormon #Temple #LatterDaySaint

Not all rewarded users are the same — and treating them as one audience is exactly why so many rewarded UA campaigns underperform. Recorded live on Day 2 of MAU Vegas, this conversation breaks down how Tyr Ads segments rewarded traffic into three distinct personas and engineers profitability around the mix.Matej Lančarič sits down with Zino, CEO of Tyr Ads (and the Try Rewards consumer product), to unpack the year's changes: a brand-new in-house platform built specifically for rewarded (because third-party tracking simply isn't built for it), AI-driven user labeling that sorts players into reward hunters, casual/social users, and gamblers, and an A/B testing and LiveOps system that targets each segment with different reward funnels. They get into why too many gamblers will actually lose you money, how the day-7-to-day-30 curve drives faster ROI and more aggressive bidding, the new Nordeus exclusive offerwall deal, why Tyr is betting on gaming supply over reward apps, and where rewarded UA is heading — segmentation, recommendation models, and a full shift to ROAS-based campaigns.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Cold open — the day-7-to-day-30 curve and faster ROI01:30 Tyr Ads intro and what changed this year02:54 The new in-house platform and audience segmentation03:30 The three personas — reward hunter, social, gambler05:40 Why too many gamblers loses you money09:25 How the recommendation models hit day-7 targets15:55 A 50/50 IAP/ads game — where to start21:08 The Nordeus exclusive deal and the gaming-supply bet26:46 Where rewarded UA is heading — ROAS and 2027

It's NBA Finals week, Game 2 is tonight, and the Shoot Around boys are doing exactly what they do on Fridays — talking about everything except the thing you'd expect them to talk about.   They kick things off with a listener correction from Twitter — turns out the Coach of the Year who got fired before the award came in was Dwayne Casey, not Lloyd Pierce (Rob was close). From there it's a full dive into the hero-to-villain arc: OKC went from everyone's favorite upstart to the team everyone wanted to see lose, almost overnight. Rob points to the Kansas City Chiefs as the gold standard of that flip — and SGA's habit of spending time on the floor didn't exactly help Oklahoma City's cause this year.   Then it's a two-part debate: who should retire and go to the broadcast desk, and who do you wish had kept playing? Russell Wilson heading to the CBS pregame show kicks things off, and the guys run through Draymond, Klay Thompson (Rob thinks he'd surprise people), Mike Trout, and Jameis Winston — who they both agree has a big bag waiting for him somewhere, whether it's Barstool or a network couch next to Shannon Sharpe and Gronk.   On the comeback side — Serena Williams is returning to play doubles at the HSBC Championships, which gets them talking about who they'd most want to see suit back up. Rob's answer: Pete Sampras. Casual greatness, no ego, just stroll in and handle business. Brandon picks Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson — two guys who deserved so much better than what Detroit gave them.   And then the closer — the hot mic segment that was teased all week on Tuesday's show. LSU pitcher Devin Shearer gets warned by the umps, ESPN gets told to turn the field mics down, ESPN does not turn the field mics down. And then there's the Nebraska-Oklahoma State softball game, where an unidentified voice — still a mystery — delivered what might be the most unexpected phrase ever broadcast live on ESPN. Rob and Brandon's debate about who exactly says "ball sack" at a softball game is genuinely one of the funnier bits they've done.   In this episode: OKC's hero-to-villain arc — and the Kansas City Chiefs comparison SGA's foul-baiting and why fans turned on Oklahoma City Russell Wilson heads to CBS — who else should retire and hit the desk? Klay Thompson as a broadcast sleeper pick Jameis Winston's future: Barstool or network TV? Shannon Sharpe and the importance of letting personalities breathe Serena Williams making her doubles comeback at HSBC Championships Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson — the ones who got away Rob Horry on Pete Sampras: the definition of casual greatness LSU's Devin Shearer hot mic moment — ESPN was warned The mystery 'ball sack' voice at the Nebraska-Oklahoma State softball game   New episodes drop Tuesday and Friday.

Something major is shifting in my love life. Today I am going to share with you a few personal stories, about letting go of a situationship, guilty feelings after a hookup, and ending old habits. Before that my friend asked me about the pettiest thing that gives me the ick, and if I get more icked out now that I am shifting to looking for love versus sex. I will discuss why people are dishonest in relationships and why people struggle to create peace in their relationships. I will also respond to a situation about talking to multiple people if you are still single.
