Why is state college tuition in Florida only $6,300 a year while South Carolina charges $14,000+?

Is the stock market dangerously expensive, or are investors overlooking strong future earnings growth? The S&P 500's Shiller CAPE ratio has reached 41, yet the PEG ratio, which incorporates expected earnings growth, is signaling one of the cheapest market valuations in decades. Michael Lebowitz and Lance Roberts examine why these two popular valuation measures are sending completely opposite signals. The key difference comes down to expectations: CAPE relies on historical earnings, while PEG depends heavily on Wall Street forecasts for future growth. We look at the reliability of those earnings forecasts, the extraordinary concentration of expected growth among a handful of large technology companies, the role of AI investment, and whether today's valuations already price in too much optimism. 0:00 INTRO 1:04 - Jobs, JOLTS, & Economic Number Previews 5:01 - Markets are Stuck 11:04 - Vacation & Weekend Plans 12:23 - The Fed: What Will Warsh Do With Rates? 16:12 - The Truth About "Fed Buy Backs" 17:57 - Inflation Expectations are not Reason to Raise Rates 21:29 - No Guidance from the Fed? 23:48 - Valuations - What We Know vs What We Think We Know 28:48 - It all Comes Down to AI 32:12 - The Issue with PEG Ratios 36:12 - Dealing with Earnings Estimates Revisions 37:55 - How AI is Like the Railroads 39:34 -The Use of AI is Growing Hosted by RIA Advisors' Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Senior Investment Advisor, Jonathan Penn, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

Football is officially here, and the boys are entering the season exactly how you'd expect: fired up, slightly delusional, and already financially invested. Alex opens the episode showing off his new Texans City Edition CJ Stroud jersey, which leads to a full breakdown of jersey etiquette, the pressure of spending real money on a player, Houston's Oilers-inspired look, and whether CJ is about to make that $225 purchase feel like a lifelong investment or a terrible mistake. From there, it's fantasy football season. Alex and David debate the league's draft-order system, whether an eight-team league changes strategy, why David refuses to take Alex's $100 bet, and which running backs and wide receivers belong at the top of the board. Gibbs, Bijan, Saquon, CMC, Jamar Chase, Puka, JSN, Justin Jefferson, Nico Collins, and plenty of personal bias all enter the conversation. Then the guys jump around the NFL, from Aaron Donald joining the Rams' all-in superteam, to whether Los Angeles is championship-or-bust, to the Josh Jacobs situation, to the Texans trading for Keyshon Boutte and the very obvious jokes that come with it. They also get into CJ Stroud contract talk, Texans preseason optimism, and whether Houston's offensive line can make everything work. The episode closes with college football fully on deck. Alex and David break down the LSU vs. SEC eligibility drama, former NFL players trying to return to college, Marcel Reed calling out Texas, Texas A&M expectations, and why Clemson vs. LSU is the true Week 1 appetizer before the football buffet finally begins. Texans jerseys, fantasy draft strategy, Rams hype, NFL controversy, SEC chaos, Aggie confidence, and the sweet relief of knowing football is finally back — pull up a chair and join the conversation.

GM L87 engine failures, California's INSANE tire regulations, the cheapest Toyota Century in the country, and more on this edition of the Automotive ADHD Show. Matt examines the growing controversy surrounding General Motors' 6.2-liter L87 V8, from bearing and machining concerns to reports of engines failing while Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles are in motion. How can the company behind the small-block Chevy still be facing catastrophic V8 failures after 70 years of building them? California also plans to introduce the nation's first replacement-tire efficiency standards. Supporters promise better fuel economy, but Matt explains why the rules could reduce tire durability, limit some enthusiast options, and cost drivers more than politicians suggest. Plus: Matt reveals his plan to transform a low-mileage 1990 Toyota Century with crazy luxury features, and possible Yakuza history into a mobile podcast studio.

Today we are talking about something that I think we all need to know about…  How to reset your dopamine. And before you think this is going to be one of those extreme episodes where I tell you to throw your phone into the ocean, stop drinking coffee, sit in a dark room for three days and eliminate everything fun from your life… That is absolutely not what we are doing. Because dopamine isn't bad. We need dopamine. Dopamine is part of what makes us want things. Pursue things. Work toward goals. Get up and go. The problem is that we are living in an environment where we can get enormous amounts of stimulation with almost zero effort. Open Instagram. Refresh your email. Check likes. Open TikTok. Eat something hyper-palatable. Buy something. Get a notification. Watch another episode. Click another video. Check your texts. Pick up your phone because you have 17 seconds with nothing to do. We have essentially eliminated boredom. And I think we need to talk about what that is doing to us. Because I don't think most people have a motivation problem. I think some people have made normal life too boring compared to the stimulation they consume all day long.   Think about this. Working toward a goal is slow. Building a business is slow. Getting stronger is slow. Improving a relationship is slow. Reading a book is slow. Learning something difficult is slow.     But your phone can give you novelty every half second. So what happens when your brain gets accustomed to incredibly stimulating rewards that require almost no effort? The things that actually build an awesome life can start feeling painfully boring.   And THAT is what I want to change today. I've been going deep into what Andrew Huberman, Chris Williamson, Stanford addiction psychiatrist Anna Lembke, Peter Attia and Gary Brecka have discussed around dopamine, reward, pleasure, discomfort and motivation. And there is one massive theme that keeps coming up: We need to stop getting so many rewards without earning them.   We need less cheap dopamine… And more earned dopamine. More accomplishment dopamine. More anticipation. More effort. More challenge. More doing hard things and feeling awesome afterward.   So today we're going to talk about what dopamine actually does, why our modern environment can completely screw with our motivation, what people mean by a dopamine reset, and most importantly… How we actually do it. Not forever. Not perfectly. But intentionally enough that normal life starts feeling interesting again.       Because imagine waking up and actually WANTING to work on your goals. Imagine sitting in your car without immediately opening your phone. Imagine finishing a workout and letting that accomplishment be the reward instead of instantly needing another stimulus. Imagine being fully engaged in dinner. Or a conversation. Or a walk. Or your kids. Or your work. That's what we're after. Not less enjoyment. More enjoyment from the things that actually matter. FIRST… WHAT IS DOPAMINE? Dopamine isn't simply the "pleasure chemical" This is probably the biggest misunderstanding. Dopamine plays a huge role in motivation, pursuit, learning, reinforcement and determining what your brain decides is worth pursuing again. Think less "this makes me happy" and more: "Go get that again." It's a molecule heavily involved in wanting and pursuing. Huberman explains dopamine in terms of baseline and peaks You have a baseline level of dopamine. Then certain experiences generate temporary increases above that baseline. The important part is what happens afterward. A big dopamine peak can be followed by a period where dopamine activity falls below where it was previously. This is part of why something incredible can sometimes leave you feeling strangely flat afterward. The higher and more frequently we chase enormous peaks, the more ordinary activities can start losing their appeal. Think about it like contrast If you eat incredibly sweet processed foods all day… A blueberry doesn't taste very sweet. There isn't anything wrong with the blueberry. Your reference point changed. The same general concept applies here. When your environment becomes filled with intense stimulation… Quiet feels boring. Reading feels boring. Work feels boring. Walking feels boring. A normal conversation feels boring. Your life didn't necessarily become boring. Your stimulation threshold changed. WHAT I MEAN BY "CHEAP DOPAMINE" I'm going to use the phrase cheap dopamine throughout this episode even though scientifically dopamine itself isn't cheap or expensive. What I mean is: A high-reward experience requiring very little effort. Things like: Endless short-form videos Constant social media refreshing Notifications Online shopping Gambling Highly processed foods Video games for hours and hours Constant snacking Drinking Continually checking texts Refreshing email Internet rabbit holes Watching episode after episode after episode Constant novelty And here's the key… None of those things has to be inherently evil. It's the dose. The frequency. And whether you've lost control over your consumption. There's a massive difference between choosing to watch a movie on Saturday night… And being literally unable to stand in an elevator for 25 seconds without checking your phone. That's the part I want us to notice. THE WORLD HAS REMOVED THE WAITING This might be one of the biggest problems. Almost everything used to have some friction. You wanted food? You cooked it. You wanted entertainment? You waited until your show came on. You wanted to talk to your friend? You called them. Maybe they weren't home. You wanted to buy something? You drove somewhere. You wanted information? You found a book. Now? Everything is immediate. Food. Entertainment. Shopping. Attention. Validation. Communication. Information. Novelty. Almost every human desire has an app attached to it. And our brains evolved in an environment where rewards generally required work. Now we can receive reward after reward while lying horizontally on the couch. That is a massive mismatch. THE PLEASURE-PAIN SEESAW One of my favorite explanations comes from Dr. Anna Lembke. She describes pleasure and pain almost like opposite sides of a balance. When we repeatedly push hard toward pleasure… Our brain tries to restore balance. And over time, you may need more of the stimulus just to experience the same effect. This is incredibly obvious with severe addiction. But I think it's useful to recognize much milder versions in ourselves. Have you ever: Opened Instagram for five minutes and 45 minutes disappeared? Finished a show and immediately needed another episode? Finished dessert and started looking for something else sweet? Checked one notification and then somehow checked four different apps? Picked up your phone without consciously deciding to? That automatic reaching is important. You aren't necessarily choosing anymore. You're responding. And I want us to get back into choosing. WHY NOTHING FEELS EXCITING ANYMORE Sometimes people say: "I'm unmotivated." "I don't feel like working." "I can't concentrate." "I'm bored." "I don't really feel excited about anything." Obviously there can be many medical, psychological and situational reasons for those feelings. But there is another question worth asking: How much stimulation are you consuming? Because if you're exposing yourself to novelty constantly… Your brain never gets a chance to be bored enough to create. Never bored enough to think. Never bored enough to solve a problem. Never bored enough to decide what you actually want. We're treating boredom like an emergency. I actually think boredom is incredibly productive. Some of my best ideas happen when there's nothing else coming into my brain. And we are filling every single empty pocket.   DOPAMINE STACKING Huberman talks about something that I think is fascinating: stacking multiple dopamine-producing experiences together. Think about a workout. Exercise itself can be rewarding. But now we add: Pre-workout. Favorite playlist. Phone. Texts. Social media. Energy drink. Maybe stimulants. Maybe a reward meal afterward. Maybe we post the workout and check responses. We've taken one intrinsically rewarding activity and stacked reward upon reward upon reward. And his point isn't that you can never do those things. It's that you don't necessarily want every good experience in life turned up to 100 every single time. Sometimes train without the perfect playlist. Sometimes walk without the podcast. Sometimes drink the coffee without simultaneously scrolling Instagram. Sometimes eat without watching television. Separate the rewards. You don't have to eliminate pleasure. Stop supercharging every experience. LEARN TO LOVE EFFORT This might be my favorite part of the entire episode. We need to stop making the reward exclusively something that comes AFTER the work. "I'll work out and then I can have this." "I'll finish this project and then I'll reward myself." "I'll complete my work and then I'll scroll." There's nothing wrong with celebrating accomplishments. But we also want to train ourselves to associate the effort itself with something positive. Because if the entire purpose of doing something difficult is the reward waiting at the end… The work becomes something you're trying to escape. Instead: "This discomfort means I'm getting stronger." "This is hard because I'm growing." "I'm proud of myself for doing this when I don't feel like doing it." "This is what keeping promises to myself feels like." "This is who I am." That shift is huge. The workout becomes the win. Doing the work becomes the win. Keeping the promise becomes the win. USE DISCOMFORT ON PURPOSE This theme comes up across a lot of these conversations. We're living in an unbelievably comfortable world. Temperature-controlled houses. Food everywhere. Cars. Couches. Entertainment. Delivery. Escalators. Amazon. Everything is optimized to eliminate friction. But voluntary discomfort can be incredibly valuable. Exercise. Walking. Strength training. Running. Sauna. Cold exposure when appropriate and done safely. Doing something physically difficult. Getting outside when conditions aren't perfect. Taking the stairs. Having the difficult conversation. Doing the work you're avoiding. The idea isn't: "Suffering is good." The idea is: Stop organizing your entire life around avoiding discomfort. Because challenge followed by satisfaction is very different from pleasure followed by emptiness. One you earned. One you consumed. We need both fun and hard things. But modern life has heavily tilted us toward consumption. DON'T START YOUR DAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S DOPAMINE Here's something I think would change a lot of people's lives. Do not roll over and immediately hand your brain to your phone. Because instantly you've got: Texts. News. Instagram. Email. TikTok. Other people's emergencies. Other people's opinions. Other people's lives. Other people's accomplishments. Other people's bodies. Other people's vacations. Other people's businesses. Other people's problems. Before you've even decided what YOU want your day to look like. I would rather protect that first part of the morning. Wake up. Water. Sunlight. Walk. Workout. Journal. Think. Plan. Work. Whatever your routine is. Just don't immediately flood your brain with novelty. You should decide the direction of your day before an algorithm decides it for you. THE 2.0 DOPAMINE RESET Okay. Here is what I would actually do. Not some insane internet detox. A realistic reset. RULE #1: Identify YOUR cheap dopamine Ask yourself: What do I compulsively reach for? Not what does the internet tell me is bad. What has control over ME? Maybe yours is: Instagram. TikTok. Shopping. Sugar. Video games. News. YouTube. Email. Texting. Something else. Identify the top one or two. Don't try to become a monk overnight. RULE #2: Take a meaningful break from the biggest offender If something truly feels compulsive, consider taking a real period away from it rather than constantly trying to moderate it. Try deleting it for a week. Maybe two. Maybe 30 days. See what happens. You might be shocked by how often your hand reaches for an app that isn't there. That's valuable information. RULE #3: Stop filling every gap This is a HUGE one. We're bringing back empty space. Stand in line. Just stand there. Drive five minutes. No podcast. Walk around the block. No headphones. Sit outside. Do nothing. Take a shower without content playing. Cook dinner without a video. You are retraining yourself to tolerate a lower level of stimulation. And here's the funny thing… After a while it doesn't feel low stimulation. It feels peaceful. RULE #4: Create phone-free zones Pick places where your phone does not belong. Examples: Bedroom Dinner table Gym Family time Bathroom First hour of the morning Last hour before bed Don't rely purely on willpower. Change your environment. Leave the phone somewhere else. Make the bad habit inconvenient. RULE #5: Turn off almost every notification Notifications are someone else deciding when your attention moves. Think about that. Unless something legitimately requires immediate attention… Turn it off. RULE #6: Stop stacking everything Coffee + Instagram + television + food + texting? No. Pick one. Workout + podcast + scrolling between sets + energy drink + Instagram? Simplify it. Let an experience stand alone. Food can just be food. Coffee can just be coffee. A walk can just be a walk. A conversation can just be a conversation. RULE #7: Get your dopamine through pursuit This is the big replacement strategy. You can't just remove things. You need better things to move toward. Exercise. Building something. Learning. Working. Creating. Sports. Relationships. Adventure. Goals. Competition. Skill. Experiences. Meaningful challenges. Get obsessed with something difficult. That is completely different than being addicted to consumption. RULE #8: Do one hard thing every day I love this rule. Every day, intentionally do something that you'd rather avoid. Workout hard. Make the phone call. Send the proposal. Clean the closet. Have the conversation. Finish the project. Run the hill. Get into the cold water if that's safe for you. Walk when you'd rather sit. Do the thing you've been procrastinating. You start creating evidence: "I don't have to feel like doing something in order to do it." That is power. RULE #9: Prioritize sleep Your brain isn't operating independently of your body. If you're chronically sleep-deprived, everything becomes harder. Motivation. Impulse control. Training. Food choices. Emotional regulation. Focus. Peter Attia and Huberman both hammer sleep for a reason. If we're trying to optimize our brain while sleeping five hours… We're focusing on the wrong end of the problem. RULE #10: Morning sunlight and movement Huberman talks frequently about getting outdoor light early in the day to anchor your circadian system. I love pairing that with movement. Outside. Walk. Light. No Instagram. Let your nervous system wake up naturally. It's incredibly simple. And simple things done repeatedly tend to beat complicated hacks. THE 24-HOUR CHALLENGE Here is your challenge. For the next 24 hours: No phone for the first 30 minutes after waking. No social media until you've completed something productive. Turn off unnecessary notifications. No phone while eating. Take one walk without headphones. Do one difficult thing you've been avoiding. No double-screening. If you're watching TV, you're not also scrolling. Put your phone outside your bedroom tonight. Let yourself experience boredom. Notice every time you instinctively reach for stimulation. Don't judge yourself. Observe yourself. Because awareness is the beginning of changing anything. THEN TRY SEVEN DAYS Now let's level it up. For seven days: Reduce your biggest cheap-dopamine behavior dramatically. You don't need to eliminate all pleasure. In fact, please don't. Go to dinner. Laugh. Drink your coffee. Listen to music. Hang with friends. Enjoy your life. This isn't punishment. We're trying to reclaim our ability to enjoy NORMAL things. That's the goal. Less artificial stimulation. More real life. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION Before you reach for something, ask: Am I choosing this, or am I escaping something? That question can completely change things. Why am I opening Instagram? Because I intentionally decided to spend 15 minutes enjoying it? Fine. Or because this task got difficult? Why am I eating this? Because I'm hungry and I want it? Fine. Or because I'm uncomfortable? Why am I drinking? Because I'm celebrating with friends? Or because I can't tolerate sitting with how I feel? Why am I checking email for the 47th time? Because I'm waiting for something important? Or because working on the project in front of me is harder? That pause between impulse and behavior… That's where your power is. CHEAP DOPAMINE VS EARNED DOPAMINE This is the easiest way I can summarize the episode. Cheap dopamine: Consume. Scroll. Click. Watch. Refresh. Snack. Buy. Escape. Earned dopamine: Build. Train. Create. Learn. Connect. Explore. Compete. Finish. Accomplish. The first category isn't evil. But if the balance of your life is overwhelmingly consumption… Don't be surprised when your motivation disappears. Shift the ratio. More creating. Less consuming. More doing. Less watching. More participating. Less observing. More real life. Less digital life. WE NEED ANTICIPATION BACK I think anticipation is disappearing. When everything is immediately available… There's nothing to look forward to. And looking forward to something is part of the fun. Plan the trip. Wait for Friday night. Save the amazing dessert for dinner. Don't buy everything the second you want it. Put the concert on the calendar. Build toward the race. Earn the reward. Delay things intentionally sometimes. The waiting isn't ruining the experience. The waiting IS part of the experience. YOUR LIFE SHOULD NOT NEED CONSTANT ENTERTAINMENT This might be the line I want you to remember. You should not need to be entertained every minute in order to enjoy your life. Your kids shouldn't either. We need boring car rides. We need afternoons with nothing scheduled. We need conversations without phones. We need walks. We need staring out the freaking window. We need thinking. We need daydreaming. We need opportunities for our brains to say: "Okay… what should we do?" Creativity often appears after the stimulation disappears. THE GOAL IS NOT LOWER DOPAMINE This is important. We're not trying to crush dopamine. We're not trying to become emotionless. We're not trying to avoid things that make us feel amazing. We're trying to protect our ability to feel amazing. That's different. We want the vacation to feel incredible. The concert. The accomplishment. The amazing dinner. The business win. The race. The adventure. The hug. The goal. The experience. We just don't need to manufacture an artificial mini-version of that feeling 800 times between breakfast and lunch. Leave some room. Let your baseline exist without constantly smashing the stimulation button.   Here's what I think is so interesting about all of this. We have designed a world where almost everything that used to require effort can now be accessed instantly. And that sounds like freedom. But if we're not careful… Convenience becomes dependence. Entertainment becomes distraction. Pleasure becomes compulsion. And access becomes addiction. The answer isn't to reject modern life. I'm certainly not giving up my phone. I'm not giving up coffee. I'm not giving up Instagram. I'm not giving up amazing food or concerts or trips or all the fun things. I want MORE life. That's actually the entire point. I don't want to spend my life looking down at a screen getting tiny rewards when there are enormous rewards available by actually participating in life. I want the dopamine from doing the workout I didn't want to do. Building the business. Taking the trip. Making the memory. Trying something new. Getting really freaking good at something. Having an amazing conversation. Being completely present with my kids. Creating something I'm proud of. Doing something hard. That's the dopamine I want more of. And maybe the simplest takeaway from this whole episode is this: Stop making pleasure so easy and effort so optional. Let yourself work for things. Let yourself wait for things. Let yourself be bored. Let yourself struggle. Let yourself anticipate. Let yourself earn some of the really good feelings. Because when we stop trying to make every moment maximally stimulating… Something really cool happens. Normal life starts becoming awesome again. And that is how to be awesome at resetting your dopamine.

Fuel additives. Miracle MPG claims. Injector cleaners. Cheap replacement parts. And, of course, Washington taking its cut before you burn a single gallon. So on this episode of Brake Check, we're asking one question:WHO THE HELL IS EATING YOUR GALLON? First, Jessica Crabtree, Director of Technical Services at Power Service Products, brings the chemistry. We're separating legitimate diesel fuel science from expensive snake oil and digging into fuel economy, diesel additives, injector deposits, fuel contamination, cetane, regens, DPF problems, winter fuel gelling and preventive maintenance. How do you know whether a fuel additive actually works? What should legitimate MPG testing look like? Can injector deposits really hurt fuel economy? What does an unnecessary regen actually cost? And when somebody promises a massive improvement in MPG...WHAT PROOF SHOULD YOU DEMAND BEFORE SPENDING A DOLLAR? Then we follow your diesel dollar straight to Washington.Policy veteran James Edwards of ELITE Strategic Services joins us to break down the massive surface transportation bill moving through Congress, truck parking funding, autonomous trucking policy, the Highway Trust Fund, the 24.4¢ federal diesel tax, potential alternatives to fuel taxes, and who should actually pay for America's roads. Because at today's diesel prices, fractions of a mile per gallon matter. Taxes matter. Downtime matters. And bullshit gets VERY EXPENSIVE. If you're a truck driver, owner-operator, fleet owner, carrier, maintenance professional or trucking executive, watch this before somebody promises to save you money at the pump. At $5.65 a gallon, don't buy miracles.

You hear two ads back to back. One sounds flat, like someone reading a script. The other sounds like a movie trailer. You already know which one you remember. Connor Quinn has voiced national ads for Visa, Mercedes-Benz, and Sandals Resorts. He's also been the voice of Braum's commercials in Oklahoma for nearly 20 years. Clarence brought him on to answer one question: how can a business with 6 to 50 employees afford that same level of voice talent? In this episode: Professional voice talent may cost less than you think. Connor prices jobs by market, so your local ad isn't priced like a Super Bowl commercial. Cheap voice work can cost more in the long run. Connor has seen business owners go through four or five cheap gigs trying to get one usable read. The best ads talk with customers, not at them. A real conversation is more memorable than another sales pitch. Listen now to discover why your next ad doesn't need a bigger budget—it may just need a better voice.

Yesterday, following a one-year U.S. Transportation Department review of trucking schools which provide instruction for the issuance of CDLs and the states that have illegally issued CDLs to those who lack legal status, the full scope of the abuse and illegally operating trucking schools began to come into focus.

AI is making execution dramatically cheaper. That changes what makes someone valuable.In this episode, I explore the difference between productivity and agency: the ability to decide what should happen next, act with incomplete information, and take responsibility for the outcome.We get into:Why AI compresses time, skill, capability, and organizational effortWhy doing the wrong thing 10x faster is still wasteHow AI is narrowing some skill gaps and expanding what individuals can executeWhy judgment and direction become more important as output gets easierThe productivity trap of generating endless plausible, unnecessary workWhy high agency also means knowing when to stop, kill a project, or ignore the trendGenerative AI and professional writingChatGPT reduced completion time by 40% and increased output quality by 18% in an MIT study of professional writing tasks.Generative AI in customer supportAI assistance increased productivity by 14% overall and by 34% among novice and lower-skilled workers.AI task-completion horizonMETR research finds that the length of software tasks frontier AI agents can complete with 50% reliability has historically doubled roughly every seven months.Personal initiative and agencyA randomized trial in Togo found personal initiative training increased small-business profits by 30%, versus a statistically insignificant 11% from traditional business training.00:00 Why agency matters more when execution gets cheaper01:49 What agency actually means03:08 The four kinds of AI compression04:50 The expanding AI task horizon05:56 Productivity vs. agency07:02 The AI productivity trap07:55 Can agency be trained?09:21 Restraint as a form of agency10:20 End“Productivity improves the speed of the vehicle.

Pags asks what should be a pretty simple question: How is making a deal for Venezuelan oil that helps bring down energy costs somehow a BAD thing? JD Vance weighs in on the Venezuela oil deal, Pags has some fun with GasBuddy and listeners flood the phones with what they're actually paying at the pump. Plus, a little detour into something that apparently isn't universal anymore—being able to read and follow instructions. Then Kay Hill joins Pags to tackle a much bigger mystery: Why is the CIA director in Moscow? If the goal is de-escalation, why send the head of the CIA instead of the secretary of state or the president? What message is being delivered behind closed doors, and could this secretive meeting tell us something about where U.S.-Russia relations are headed next? Learn more about your ad choices.

This month on Last Call, Kevin Muir, Aahan Menon, Ben Hunt and Brent Kochuba break down the market through four lenses: macro, inflation data, narrative and options positioning. They examine whether midterm election volatility is underpriced, why inflation may be more demand-driven and persistent than headline data suggests, how the Fed's credibility has shifted under Kevin Warsh, and why options markets still look remarkably complacent.Follow Last Call on Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Last Call on Apple Podcasts⁠Topics coveredWhy ending Fed forward guidance could create more uncertainty around interest rate decisionsKevin Muir's case that midterm election volatility is unusually cheapWhy seasonal volatility, low implied correlation and election risk may favor owning protectionAahan Menon on inflation breadth and why 70 to 80 percent of PCE components are above the Fed's 2 percent targetWhy demand-driven inflation may be stickier than supply-driven inflationHow oil shocks can feed into core inflation and increase pressure on the Fed to hikeBen Hunt on the sudden collapse in the Fed credibility narrative and why gold has respondedThe four risks facing the Fed and Treasury: oil, fading fiscal stimulus, insurance and private credit stress, and the long end of the Treasury curveBrent Kochuba on why implied volatility and put positioning show a market with very little fearNvidia options positioning, potential resistance near 250 to 275, and what dealer gamma says about the stockStanley Druckenmiller's AI-written Wall Street Journal op-ed and what AI-assisted writing means for investment thinkingTimestamps00:00 Midterms, inflation, Fed credibility and options complacency07:45 Kevin Muir on why midterm volatility may be underpriced11:55 Why this midterm could be more volatile than the options market expects16:36 Cheap volatility and how election risk could get repriced20:39 Inflation breadth and why the headline numbers miss the bigger problem25:43 Why cooling inflation data may hide persistent demand-driven pressure33:31 Ben Hunt on why the Fed credibility narrative suddenly reversed40:01 Four risks the Fed and Treasury cannot afford to ignore44:43 What the options market says after Jackson Hole49:10 Why Fed events can become an expensive options tax53:14 Why falling volatility could help stocks push toward new highs57:34 Druckenmiller, AI-written investment commentary and authenticity01:01:53 Why writing is part of thinking in an AI worldLearn more about the Excess Returns podcast network:https://excessreturns.coNo information discussed in this podcast should be construed as investment advice.

August 27, 2026 — Gold-mining stocks have rallied nearly 50% from their mid-July lows. Zach Abraham explains why some miners may still offer unusually compelling value—and why a rising stock price does not necessarily mean the underlying opportunity has disappeared. Zach walks through how replacement-cost economics can expose hidden value in mining companies, why strong assets and reserves can provide room to be wrong, and why “buying the dip” only makes sense when the valuation supports the decision. He also discusses Nvidia's latest results, why traditional bond-market signals have become increasingly difficult to interpret, rebounds across several beaten-down software stocks, international markets and additional—explicitly anecdotal—context he received about the internal debate preceding the decision to enter Iran.

"Is it romantic to propose on someone's birthday... or is he just being cheap so he only has to buy one gift?" That single question sparks a full-blown marriage debate in this episode of Married Into Crazy, as Snooks and Lovey unpack a real conversation Snooks had with a group of women who said they'd never want to be proposed to on their birthday — and Lovey isn't having it. Married almost 30 years (together 31), Snooks and Lovey get brutally honest about what a birthday proposal really reveals about readiness for commitment, partnership, and selflessness in a relationship.  This isn't just a proposal story — it's a deep dive into modern dating culture, "prom-posal" one-upmanship, social media narcissism, and the real difference between healthy and unhealthy expectations going into marriage. They cover:  Is a birthday proposal romantic — or a red flag of being "cheap"? Why some women say "my birthday is my birthday" — and what that reveals about readiness for marriage  How social media and "prom-posals" have inflated proposal expectations for an entire generation  The line between selfishness and selflessness in commitment and partnership Why communication about expectations BEFORE a proposal matters more than the date itself  What "immaturity" looks like when it comes to dating, commitment, and merging your life with someone else's  This is real relationship advice and marriage talk from a couple who's lived it — perfect for anyone navigating dating, engagement planning, communication in marriage, or figuring out what healthy partnership actually looks like before you say "I do." 

Whether you're aiming to keep the romance alive or thin out your roster before cuffing season, dating can be expensive!

As Arizona prepares to deal with less Colorado River water, the state is moving forward with water augmentation projects. What some of those ideas look like. And, Arizona could get its first Michelin star this week.

   The Supreme Court has told a lower court it cannot keep President Trump from implementing his executive order on mail in voting this November and it's a nice win.  But it's a million miles from over as more cases in lower courts are pending and even more are about to be filed.  We explain the difference in this ruling and what the SAVE America Act would do.    The owner of the NFL's San Francisco 49ers pleads no contest after going out of his way to find a trailer park hooker for $140.  He's a billionaire!   This is the most fun story of 2026 as far as I'm concerned.    Men are stupid, that's for sure.  But then we focus in on women and why they are so unhappy in America when they have it better than anyone on earth.  Brace yourself as we tell the hard truth.    Ron DeSantis has implemented communism history classes in government schools in Florida.  It starts in 6th grade and runs through high school and focuses on freedoms that citizens lose in communist countries and the history and lack of success in every country that's tried it.    We have an update for you on how Harrison Butker kicked a 69 yard field goal into the net.  Patrick Mahomes says two different things about his playing status in the same sentence.  The American League playoff race is wild as a team under .500 could make the post season.  Disney rolls out some really cool NFL team gear featuring Disney characters, we'll tell you what character they picked for the Chiefs.

Some place in space. Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Dear Cheap Astronomy – What is the role of AI in space? AI simulates human decision-making and finds most practical usage in the sorting and analysing of various kinds of data. So. you can feed an AI program pictures of galaxies and the classifications they fit into and then the AI can then identify and classify new ones that you feed it. It's kind of like how Galaxy Zoo used to work, except with Galaxy Zoo it was actual crowd-sourced people that did the work.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – What will space warfare look like? We've previously discussed on this podcast that fighting a war from space is probably a bad idea. You might conceivably drop a bomb from orbit, but once you've identified yourself as an enemy it's pretty easy to take you out from the ground. You may be able to dodge a few missiles at the start, but once you're out of maneuvering fuel you'll be stuck in a straight-line orbit and hence a sitting duck.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Ted Oakley, founder and managing partner of Oxbow Advisors, returns to explain why he sold all his silver and much of his gold exposure in late 2025 and early 2026 — then bought it all back, and more, in mid-July. With gold near $4,600 he argues it's still roughly 18–20% below its January high and nowhere near expensive if you're thinking in terms of a one-and-a-half to two-year horizon and a $7,000–$8,000 objective. The driver, in his view, is a loss of faith in the dollar backed by a fiscal picture with no exit: within five years, entitlements plus a slice of defense will exceed total federal revenue. Oakley explains why he'll only own Treasuries inside twenty-four months, why investors stuck in 20- and 30-year bond funds have lost millions with no way out, and why energy may be the bigger opportunity than gold — underowned after years of fossil-fuel divestment, profitable at $70–80 oil, and paying dividends from 6% to 11%. He also lays out the three classic ingredients of a market top, all of which he says are now in place, and previews his forthcoming book Asleep at the Wheel, aimed at boomers who've stopped rebalancing.Thank you to our partners Augusta Precious Metals — To learn more, visit https://juliabuysgold.com/ or text “Julia" to 35052Monetary Metals - learn more at https://www.monetary-metals.com/julia/Links:Oxbow Advisors: https://oxbowadvisors.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OxbowAdvisorsX: https://x.com/Oxbow_AdvisorsBook: https://www.amazon.com/Second-Generation-Wealth-What-Want/dp/1966629168Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro01:04 – Gold/silver discussion 02:44 – "Is it too late?"

Dr. Fauci's pleading of the Fifth 111 times in a recent Senate hearing outraged many Americans. Far before the Senate, in Missouri vs. Biden (2026), in which Dr. Kheriaty was a plaintiff, Dr. Fauci pleaded the Fifth 168 times; the Justice Department recently ruled in his favor. It is understandable, then, that many have had cause for outrage for many years. Some paid for COVID lockdowns and irrational mandates with their livelihoods, including Dr. Kheriaty, who was fired from UC-Irvine's School of Medicine after he challenged their COVID vaccine mandate in Federal Court. Others, unfortunately, paid for these pandemic-era policies with their lives. What these hearings revealed is something that can't be unseen: the U.S. healthcare system rests on an enormous amount of unchecked power. A solution is needed. Drs. Kheriaty and Orlandi discuss this and more on this episode of What We Can't Not Talk About.Timeline Summary [0:00] – Introduction and welcome; Dr. Orlandi welcomes back Dr. Aaron Kheriaty of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. [1:48] – Seeing American medicine with an outsider's eye, and why this conversation could not wait. [3:35] – Challenging UC Irvine's vaccine mandate in federal court, and being fired for it. [5:22] – Censored for saying true things: what could and could not be said about the COVID shots. [7:07] – Missouri v. Biden, the government's own admissions, and Fauci under oath for the first time. [8:53] – “I don't recall”: amnesia for the most consequential decisions of the pandemic. [10:42] – Why no credible scientist says “The Science”: conjecture, refutation, and the method itself. [12:28] – What Fauci's government records actually show, and why they are fair game for the public. [14:14] – Scott Atlas's memoirs, and the pattern that was clear long before the Senate hearing. [16:03] – The New Abnormal: a man used by the media, the biosecurity apparatus, and financial interests. [17:49] – Refusing responsibility, and the more controversial point Dr. Orlandi wants to make. [19:37] – Why this must not happen again: honest scientists, royalties, and the temptation of power. [21:22] – The NIH's grip on American medical research, and what the purse strings buy. [23:12] – Doctors who harboured private doubts and would not say in public what they wrote in email. [24:59] – “Prove me wrong” in an age when nobody can be proved wrong, and dogma dressed as science. [26:48] – Flattery and flatterers: why people in authority must sift what their critics say. [28:37] – Weak leaders and strong leaders; Lincoln, and surrounding yourself with better people. [30:23] – The despair crisis that predated COVID, and what isolation actually did to patients. [32:11] – The Other Pandemic: the lockdown mental health crisis, and the CDC's own evidence. [33:58] – The disingenuous framing that critics of lockdowns put money ahead of public health. [35:43] – All-cause mortality at record highs, and the data that was suppressed at the time. [37:29] – Propaganda's cruellest trick: the guilt that stops you looking again. [39:15] – A suggestion for anyone willing to revisit what they believed, and a turn towards medicine. [41:02] – Gain-of-function research, lab leaks, and why staying calm is the first thing to do. [42:49] – Mask theatre on the way to the table: do not outsource logic or common sense. [44:34] – Targeted advice, monetised data, and health guidance that does not look like selling. [46:20] – Trust your instincts and the people who care about you; simple advice patients can follow. [48:06] – Why medicine chases weight loss, and the money in treatment rather than prevention. [49:52] – A competing theory of cancer, available since the 1930s and largely ignored. [51:37] – Ozempic, Botox, and the message that there is a magic pill for every problem. [53:23] – Where these drugs do make sense, and why cosmetic use fails the risk-benefit test. [55:11] – Cheap toxic food, expensive healthy food, and why obesity is not simple laziness. [56:58] – Contraceptive estrogens in the water supply, fertility, and the costs pushed onto families. [58:45] – Courage, staying in the fight, and having someone in Washington you can call. [1:00:32] – “Social distancing” rather than physical distancing, and the bonds it broke. [1:02:18] – Turn the screen off: getting away from rage bait and doom scrolling.Links & Resources Dr. Kheriaty's New Book, Making the Cut: https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781510784215/making-the-cut/ Dr. Kheriaty's Recent Article on First Things: https://firstthings.com/icarus-descending/ Dr. Orlandi's Review of Making the Cut on Substack: https://substack.com/home/post/p-172888363 Dr. Kheriaty's Previous Appearance on WWCNTA: https://youtu.be/AfANnnwNmzA?si=_drMqtSP1HTKslz_ Missouri v.

EWhat if the experiences you want to forget are connected to the purpose you are searching for? In this episode, Daniel Lloyd shares his story of addiction, mental health struggles, trauma, shame, relationships, and recovery. He explains how lived experience shaped his understanding of connection, intuition, personal responsibility, and life purpose. Daniel challenges the idea that your past has to define your future. He explains why taking ownership of your choices matters, how shame affects people struggling with addiction and mental health, and why connection plays such a major role in recovery. The conversation also explores intuition, early-life experiences, personal transformation, finding purpose through pain, and creating a specific vision for your future. Daniel shares his vision of helping 11 million people find their smile again and explains how he turned years of personal struggle into a clear sense of purpose.  In this episode, you'll learn: • How pain and lived experience can shape your sense of purpose • Why taking responsibility changes the way you approach your life • How shame affects addiction and mental health • Why Daniel sees addiction as a medical issue rather than a moral failure • How connection relates to addiction and recovery • How early experiences influenced Daniel's beliefs about himself • Why reframing your experiences matters • How to create a specific vision for your future • Why your past does not have to determine your next chapter • How intuition connects with self-awareness and personal growth • Why finding your purpose starts with understanding your own story Daniel's story shows how years of struggle became part of the work he does today. He believes purpose often sits inside your pain, where your lived experience becomes something you can use to help others.

Part III — We Know What We're About · Calling as Public Witness Date: August 16, 2026.   Text: Ephesians 4:11–1, Isaiah 6:5–8 Yongchi Rhie   Let me begin with a confession from someone I knew, and I suspect it's one that some of you share. “For most of my life, I was a pew warmer. You know the type; maybe you are the type. I had my seat. Not just any seat; my seat, and heaven help the visitor who took it. I knew when to stand and when to sit. I could sing the first and last verse of any hymn and mumble convincingly through the middle. I knew exactly how long a sermon should go, and I would let the preacher know, with my eyebrows, when he had gone over. I gave the building the warmth of my body for one hour a week, and I called that church. I thought my job was to show up, to be moved when the sermon was good, to put something in the plate, and to go home. I thought the church was something that happened to me. Something performed for me. A service I attended, the way you attend a concert.” And Paul writes to the Ephesians to tell us what the church actually is. Listen: “And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.” Did you catch what that does to the pew-warmer's dream? It calls it what it is: a beautiful, comfortable, church-shaped lie. Now listen closely, because there is a famous comma hiding in this passage, and that comma has done more damage to the church than almost any heresy I know. If you grew up on the King James Bible, you heard it read like this: Christ "gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." Do you hear those commas? Three tidy tasks, all handed to the professionals. The clergy perfect the saints, and the clergy do the work of the ministry, and the clergy build up the body — and you, the saint, you sit in your pew and receive it. But that comma is not in the Greek. Hear the difference. The King James, with its commas, gives the clergy three jobs: they perfect the saints, and they do the ministry, and they build up the body — three tasks, all landing on the professionals, while you sit and receive. But in the Greek there are no three jobs. There is one sentence that moves, and it moves in a single direction, and it turns on two little words. The first is pros — it means toward. Christ gave the apostles and prophets and evangelists and pastors and teachers toward one thing, and one thing only: the equipping of the saints. That is the whole job of the leaders. To equip. And then the sentence hands off to a second word, eis — it means for the purpose of. Equipped for the purpose of the work of ministry. Do you feel the current change? In the King James, the ministry stops at the clergy. In the Greek, the clergy are just the on-ramp — and the ministry flows on, past them, to you. The gifted leaders are not the ministers. They are the equippers. You are the ministers. The staff is not the church. You are. The building on this corner is not the church. You — the living, breathing, gifted, called people of God — you are the church. One little comma turned the whole church into an audience. And Paul, in the Greek, quietly takes it out. And so this morning I have come to preach against a heresy. Not the heresy you're bracing for. Not a heresy about the Trinity: we'll defend the Trinity another day. Not the prosperity gospel, though God knows it deserves a sermon. Not complementarianism, not any of the usual suspects we love to argue about online. No. The most persistent heresy in the American church is quieter and far more comfortable than any of those. It is the heresy of passivity. The heresy of the spectator. The quiet, respectable belief that faith is something you consume rather than something you carry. Dietrich Bonhoeffer had a name for it. He called it cheap grace. "Cheap grace," he wrote, "is the grace we bestow on ourselves … grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ." It is grace as a service you attend, grace with no summons attached, grace you can sit inside of and never be changed by. Against that heresy, against that comfortable, safe, spectator faith, the whole witness of Scripture rises up and says: no. Look at the word Paul uses for you. "The saints." Hoi hagioi — the holy ones. And here is the good news buried in that word: you are not holy because of the work you do. You will never do enough work to become holy. You are holy because you have been made holy — set apart, washed, claimed — in the redemption of Christ's cross. Your holiness is not your achievement; it is Christ's gift. Peter says it plainly: you are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people." A priesthood — all of you. Not because you earned the collar, but because Christ tore the curtain. So when I call you a saint this morning, I am not flattering you and I am not burdening you. I am telling you your name. The one God already gave you.   Now hear me, because this can start to sound like a guilt trip and it is not. I am not asking you to become something you are not. I am asking you to own what you already are, and to let it be redefined. And I know that word can sting. So many of you have been “redefined” by a system that never asked — restructured, downsized, quietly shown the door. And when that happens, you feel it: lost, cast aside, no longer valuable, waiting for some new role, a new job, a new title to tell you who you are again. I am not going to stand up here and pretend that struggle isn't real; it is real, and for some of you it is raw right now. But hear me: God's redefining runs deeper than any of that. It does not wait on a title the world hands out. It names something about you that has already been claimed and honored by God — that you are a minister, that you are a saint, that your one ordinary life is already woven into the holy work of God. That is the kind of redefining that heals. And it invites you to stop living beneath your own name. Because all of this equipping, Paul says, is "for building up the body of Christ." The body of Christ. Stop there with me. Now, I know exactly where your mind just went. The moment a preacher says "the body of Christ," every good churchgoer's brain jumps to the same passage — Paul's other letter, the one about the one body with many parts. You know the scene. Christ is the head, and the rest of us are the assorted body parts, and everyone's having a little argument. The hand turns to the mouth and sniffs, "I don't need you." The foot is sulking in the corner, jealous of the eyes — because eyes sit up there in a place of honor and the foot spends its whole life down in the dirt, in the sock, in the shoe nobody wants to smell. The nose is having an existential crisis about whether it even counts because it's not an eye. It's a wonderful passage, and it's a little bit of a family squabble, and every one of us has been every one of those body parts. Some of us are the eyes on our good days and the foot on our worst. But hold that picture loosely for a second, because I don't want us to stop at the anatomy lesson. What kind of body do you picture when you hear "the body of Christ"? It is not the glorious, weightless body of some ancestral heavenly being, floating serene above our troubles. And it is not merely our own ordinary body, fragile and failing and afraid. When I hear "the body of Christ," I think of the resurrected body. The body that went down into the cruelest, deadliest battle in human history, and came back. The body that conquered death itself. And here is the thing I cannot get past: that resurrected body still carried its wounds. Christ rose, and he rose scarred. He kept the holes in his hands, the wound in his side. But listen, after the resurrection those scars mean something entirely new. They are no longer the receipt of an unjust system that tortured him. They are now the proof that the body survived; and Jesus holds them out to Thomas, the doubter, and says, "Put your finger here. Reach out your hand. Do not doubt, but believe." That is the body we are being built into. A body that carries its wounds without shame, and offers them to the doubting world as the very evidence that love outlasts death. Which brings me to Isaiah, and to the most important thing I will say all morning about how any of us ends up doing the work of God. Isaiah is in the temple, and the whole place shakes with glory, and his first honest response is not "send me." It is despair. "Woe is me! I am lost. For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips." He knows he is not qualified. He knows the people around him are not qualified. And notice what God does not do. God does not say, "You're right, clean yourself up and come back when you're ready." No. One of the seraphs takes a live coal from the altar and touches it to Isaiah's mouth and says, "Your guilt has departed; your sin is blotted out." And only then, only after the cleansing, only after the grace, only after he is justified by a fire he did not light, then comes the question: "Whom shall I send?" And now Isaiah can answer: "Here am I. Send me." Do you see the order? The commissioning did not come before the cleansing. Grace came first. You are not sent because you are qualified. You are sent because you have been called. And that means ministry is not a plan to you have to figure out; Ministry is presence. It is a cleansed and willing person saying, "Here I am." That's all. Here I am. So let me talk about our body. About Foundry. We began this whole sermon series by saying: we know who we are. And to know who we are, we have to tell the truth about our whole body — the parts that make us proud and the parts we are still learning to confess. This is a body with a painful history of segregation. A body that shut down the ministers because of their skin color, a body that showed contempt when others demanded a seat on our table. And it is also a body embracing radical hospitality; it's also a people who have planted gardens whose harvest they would never live to see, who practiced a sacred resistance rooted not in rage but in grace and in hope. Some of our story makes us proud. Some of our story we are still trying to admit out loud, still seeking reconciliation for. There is the courage of public witness in this body, and there is the fatigue of fighting battles that never seem to end. And here is the gospel: all of it — the pride and the shame, the courage and the exhaustion, the scars and the survival — all of it is the body of Foundry. A scarred body. A resurrected body. Being built, Paul says, "until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ." Now indulge me one moment, because my name has something to say here. In Chinese character, Yong means to melt and Chi means wisdom. So my name, "Yongchi" carries the sense of melting everything down and turning it into wisdom. And I stand in a church called Foundry. A foundry, you know, is the place where metal is thrown into the fire, melted past all its old shapes, and poured into a mold to be made into something useful. Friends, I don't think that's an accident. This is what God is doing to us. We are melted down by the fire of the Holy Spirit. We are cleansed by the same burning coal that touched Isaiah's lips. And then we are molded — poured, shaped, set — and equipped. Equipped to be the ministers for the holy work of the kindom of God. That is what a foundry is for. Not to admire the fire, but to throw ourselves into the fire, and to be made into something that gets used. And what does the maker say when the tool is finally ready? He says: go. The last word of Jesus was not "stay," or “remember me”.  It was "go into all the world." But hear me: I am not sending you off to some far mission field across an ocean. You are not being voluntold to fill a gap because the pastors are simply too busy. No. Go where you are supposed to go. Go to your home. Go to your family, Go to your friends. Go to your workplace on Monday morning. Go to your support group, because they need to see you and you need to see them — both of you still refusing to give up. Go but with your role redefined by the mission of God. Go and preach — with your words, with your life. Go visit someone who is frightened and alone. Go to your city – and serve not the anxious little kingdoms of status and fear — but serve your Lord. The One who first cleansed your unclean lips, and anointed them, and then turned to you and asked, "Whom shall I send?" So here is my invitation and what I am asking. Not a volunteer slip. Not a program. Not a signature. Something braver: I am going to ask you to name, out loud or with your body, where God has sent you. However you can — stand up if you're able, or raise your hand, or simply call it out from where you sit. Just a word. Just the name of the place your feet already carry the gospel. But before I give it, I need to say two things gently, because I know both are in this room. The first is for anyone who is visiting today, or still just getting to know Foundry. You may not have a ministry to name yet — you haven't plugged in anywhere, and that is completely fine. You do not have to stand, you do not have to prove you're ready, and no one is counting. Just be encouraged: God already calls you part of the body of Christ, exactly as you are this morning, before you've signed up for a single thing. And the second is for anyone for whom this next moment may feel like an altar call — because for some of you, an altar call is not a warm memory. Maybe you were called forward once by a church that used the moment to shame you, to pressure you, to tell you that you were not enough or did not belong. Maybe the church is the very place you were wounded. If that is you, I will not pretend the wound isn't real. But remember the body we are being built into — the resurrected Christ, who did not hide his scars but held them out: “put your finger here.” We are a body that carries its wounds without shame. Your wound from the church is not a disqualification; in the risen body it can become the very proof that you survived and still came back to God. You do not have to be unscarred to be sent. You only have to be here. So don't be shy. When the Spirit nudges you, name it — get on your feet, or lift your hand, or call it out from your seat. Prayer team. Stephen Ministry. ID Ministry. Welcome and greeting. Children's ministry. Family ministry. Discipleship Ministry. Small-group teaching. The LGBTQ+ community. Social and Racial Justice ministry. Music. The altar and worship. The board and the business of this church. Books to Prison. Hospitality. Whatever it is, whoever you are — don't keep it to yourself. Name it, because the body needs to see itself, and the body needs to hear its own members say, out loud: here am I. Because you are not a consumer of grace. You are a carrier of it. So make your song louder. Make your community visible. Make your story heard. Let your prayer be lifted. Be loud. Be joyful. Be courageous. Be bold. Be loved — and love God and love your neighbor — all of it for the glory of the God who has already called you a holy one, and who is asking you, right now, in this room: whom shall I send? And your answer? Here I am. Send me. We are the church. Now Here we are. Let's go. Amen.

Adam Butcher joins Brian Nichols to reveal what's actually driving your electricity bill higher and why blaming data centers and AI misses the real story about America's energy supply.Everybody's pointing at the data centers. Adam isn't.He's the President and Managing Partner of Basin Ventures. He's managed over $1.25 billion in oil and gas projects for more than 50 players in the industry and deployed over $500 million into minerals and royalties. He's a land guy - leases, title, ownership - which means he sees the part of this story nobody on cable news covers.And he came on with a number that stopped me cold. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest level since 1983. Roughly 35 days of cover. Draining every single week. Adam's take? Cheap oil is a mirage... and we've been hiding that with artificial levers instead of taking our medicine.So I brought him the stat sheet. Retail electricity up 7% in 2025. Up roughly 40% since 2021. Utilities requested $31 billion in rate hikes in 2025 versus $15 billion the year before. Another $9.4 billion in Q1 of 2026 alone. Virginia has 663 data centers, Texas has 405, together over a quarter of every data center in the country.And Adam looked at all of it and called data centers the new boogeyman.We get into Venezuela and why 2028 is the real timeline. We get into why he says he's always made more money under Democrats than Republicans. We get into the LNG export shutdown, ERCOT's grid math, Zuckerberg's city-sized facility outside Shreveport, and why he moved his fund to 50/50 oil and gas betting on a 2027 boom.Meet people where they're at. Most folks don't care about megawatts... they care about the number at the bottom of the envelope.

Trump is promising an "economic D-Day" against Iran while trying to lower beef prices by temporarily removing a tariff. So tariffs don't raise prices... except when removing them lowers prices? Nate and Charlie break down Trump's new economic pressure campaign against Iran, the oil-market reaction, and whether decades of sanctions give us any reason to expect a different result this time. Then it's beef. Trump announced a 90-day plan allowing hundreds of thousands of metric tons of ground beef to enter without the out-of-quota tariff, while promising cheaper prices and more room for American cattle producers to grow. The guys dig into the incentives, Thomas Massie's response, and the obvious tariff contradiction. Finally, the national debt has crossed $40 trillion. Did the Bush and Trump tax cuts create the debt problem, or does Washington simply spend every dollar it can get its hands on? Plus: 91% tax rates, government roads, patents, AI data centers, and a viral claim about Gary, Indiana that sends the show completely off the rails.

Up roughly 40% since 2021. Utilities requested $31 billion in rate hikes in 2025 versus $15 billion the year before. Another $9.4 billion in Q1 of 2026 alone. Virginia has 663 data centers, Texas has 405, together over a quarter of every data center in the country. And Adam looked at all of it and called data centers the new boogeyman. We get into Venezuela and why 2028 is the real timeline. We get into why he says he's always made more money under Democrats than Republicans. We get into the LNG export shutdown, ERCOT's grid math, Zuckerberg's city-sized facility outside Shreveport, and why he moved his fund to 50/50 oil and gas betting on a 2027 boom. Meet people where they're at. Most folks don't care about megawatts... they care about the number at the bottom of the envelope. So that's where we started.

Episode Description: That stiffness when you wake up. The puffiness in your face. Feeling exhausted after eight hours of sleep. That is inflammation. And chronic inflammation is a low silent fire burning in your body every single day, quietly driving almost every disease you are afraid of. Most people have already spent good money trying to fix it. Most of them felt nothing. And the truth is not that supplements for inflammation are a scam. The truth is that most of what is on the shelf is underdosed, in the wrong form, and targeting the wrong pathway. Dr. G breaks down four supplements with real research behind them, the exact doses used in the trials, and the label tricks companies use to take your money without delivering results. Dr. G breaks down his anti-inflammatory protocol — in order: Take 1: "Ibuprofen does not lower your inflammation" Dr. G exposes why the most common go-to for pain and inflammation is only a temporary mask, not a fix. He reveals the molecule your body already makes to shut inflammation off and how to actually support it. Take 2: "One capsule of fish oil a day is doing close to nothing" The dose that moves inflammatory markers in real bloodwork is dramatically higher than what most people take. Dr. G gives the exact EPA and DHA number to hit and shows how to spot the label trick that makes you think you are getting more than you are. Take 3: "Boswellia hits a branch of inflammation that fish oil cannot reach" This is the one almost nobody is talking about. Dr. G breaks down why Boswellia serrata blocks a completely different inflammatory pathway and what has to appear on the label or the product is essentially useless. Take 4: "Cheap curcumin exits your body before it does anything" The most counterfeited anti-inflammatory supplement on the shelf gets a full breakdown. Dr. G explains what absorption actually requires, why black pepper is not enough, and what form to look for instead. Take 5: "Ginger is criminally underrated" It is dirt cheap, probably already in your spice drawer, and blocks both major inflammatory pathways. Dr. G makes the case for why ginger belongs in every anti-inflammatory protocol and what dose the research actually used. In this episode, you will learn: •  Why ibuprofen only presses the alarm button down temporarily while your body already has its own system for switching inflammation off, and how omega-3s at a real dose provide the raw materials for that system to work •  Why Boswellia serrata blocks a completely different branch of inflammation than ibuprofen or fish oil, why that matters if you have joint or autoimmune issues, and the one number that has to appear on the label or you have no idea what you are getting •  Why cheap curcumin is barely absorbed and exits your body before it does anything, what standardized and phytosome actually mean, and why ginger at one to three grams a day lowered objective inflammatory markers in clinical trials Plus why none of these four supplements will work if chronic stress is keeping your nervous system in low grade fight or flight every day. Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality. If a company doesn't respond to our outreach, it doesn't automatically mean their product is low quality but it does mean they're failing their customers on transparency and communication. We reach out multiple times. No response isn't an oversight, it's a choice. And consumers deserve better.

Americans visiting beaches, neighborhood pools, summer camps, and resorts this summer are likely to encounter foreign workers filling jobs as lifeguards, ice-cream scoopers, housekeepers, counselors, and restaurant workers. Many may not realize that these workers are in the United States on J-1 exchange visas—a program the State Department promotes as an instrument of cultural exchange […]
