Hey, soccer fans! Did you enjoy the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge and Game? My family and I sure did! Even moreso, we enjoyed the Fire's 2 game point streak and seeing Philip Zinckernagel continue his fine form against the Liga MX All-Stars. In this episode, Nick first explores Chris Mueller's announcment of his diagnosis of pericarditis. He then recaps the Chicago Fire's victory vs. CF Montreal, previews their game against New York Red Bull, and breaks down the Eastern Conference standings. The Men in Red are poised to make a push for the playoffs after defeating the bottom of the conference, but can they take enough points from better teams to find the post-season? Also, Nick looks at the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge and Game, what he'd improve about them, and how great it was to have Philip Zinckernagel representing Chicago in Austin. The show wraps with Nick's scouting report of reported Fire transfer target, Patrick Berg of Norway. While he'd be a great addition to the midfield, he is not worth the $12 million dollar asking price or a Designated Player spot. Can the Fire get a reasonable deal done for one of the top talents in the Eliteserien? Tune in and join the conversation! Make sure you like & subscribe, rate & review, and keep growing the show.

What if the love story you were chasing… was never really yours? In this episode, actress Miranda Rae Mayo joins Shan to explore the journey of finding love by letting go of the fantasy. Known for her role on Chicago Fire, Miranda opens up about her current relationship and how she had to release the pressure to be “perfect” to experience a real connection. Together, they explore how love doesn't always look the way we expected, and why exploring non-monogamy challenged (and expanded) her thoughts around love, security, and partnership.

You're going to need FIRE for an explosive Fourth of July holiday, and we could be seeing that with the Chicago Fire coming to TQL Stadium. Last time against Chicago, FC Cincinnati escaped with another one-goal win on the road, but needed three goals to pull it off. Since then, Chicago has been the most potent offense in the East, but have only a +4 goal differential to show for it. What should we be aware of the second time with a half-season processed under head coach Gregg Berhalter? How has the likes of Philip Zinckernagel snuck his way onto the All-Star Game roster? We ask the host of the "Danny T Radio" YouTube channel if the Fire are a legitimate threat to the Eastern Conference this season. (While we're at it, let's look at our soccer kit collections.)

“One thing I've found in the crime genre is that homicides are always interesting. When somebody's killed, whatever that case may be, it's usually compelling drama. So then it's up to you as the writer to surprise the audience and do things that they didn't think were coming. I've described it like this before: If you can hit the sweet spot of, ‘I didn't see that coming! I should have seen it coming, but I didn't see it coming,' That, to me, is the best writing. It's like, when you got to the end of The Sixth Sense, and you were like, ‘Oh my god, I should have seen that coming!' That was great writing,” says Derek Haas, creator and writer for the show Countdown on Prime.  You may know Derek Haas from the popular NBC procedural dramas like Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. Now, he's got a new crime drama on Prime called Countdown that tells one twisty crime story over 13 episodes – all written by Haas. Set in Los Angeles, Countdown follows a secret task force who discover a sinister international plot that threatens millions of lives. The show stars Eric Dane, Jensen Ackles and Jessica Camacho as undercover agents all harboring dark secrets of their own.  On this episode of the podcast, we chat with Haas about starting his career as a crime novelist, writing movies like 2 Fast 2 Furious, 3:10 to Yuma and Wanted before making the switch to TV. Haas talks about working with director John Singleton, prolific TV producer Dick Wolf and writing characters that hook audiences. He also shares his advice for writing action sequences that both stun visually and surprise the audience.  “When I think about action sequences, I always go back to Raiders of the Lost Ark. My favorite action sequence of any movie ever is when Indiana Jones has to fight this gigantic Nazi guy, and – in any other movie – that would have been the only thing that's happening. But they put Marion in a plane where she gets trapped because the cover of the plane closes. Then the plane's propellers start spinning. The plane starts spinning, gas is leaking out of the plane, there's other people running by with machine guns. So it's not just, ‘Oh, here's a fight,' it's ‘Here's a fight, but there's eight other things happening at once.' I really try to do that in these chase sequences, because you have seen a million of them. What's the other factors I can bring to it? How can I show you something you haven't seen before? Sometimes it's character, and sometimes, it's the stunt itself,” says Haas.  To hear more screenwriting advice from Haas, listen to the podcast.

"Have you ever wondered if that family relationship you've given up on could still be healed?"Dr. Joshua Coleman shares his devastating personal journey through years of separation from his daughter. His initial defensiveness and need to be right nearly destroyed their relationship permanently. "I'd like to talk about a particularly challenging case today. It's me," he told his consultant. The breakthrough came when he learned to stop explaining and start empathizing. This painful transition became his life's mission: helping families bridge seemingly impossible divides through curiosity, vulnerability, and authentic connection.Coleman reveals the critical difference between modern psychological parenting and previous generations. Today's parents face higher expectations but often lack the emotional tools their children need. "Life is much more fragile than I imagined," he reflects, describing how estrangement changes your entire worldview. His practical guidance centers on "letters of amends"—finding truth in children's complaints rather than defending against them. For adult children, he emphasizes starting with connection goals, not blame. Can broken family bonds be repaired? Coleman's work proves healing is possible when both sides choose curiosity over being right.Dr. Joshua Coleman is a psychologist in private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area and Senior Fellow with the Council on Contemporary Families. A frequent Today Show and NPR guest, he's appeared on Good Morning America, Dr. Phil, Sesame Street, and 20/20, with features in The New Yorker and TIME Magazine. He's authored four books including "Rules of Estrangement: Why Adult Children Cut Ties and How to Heal the Conflict." Coleman writes for major publications like The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Wall Street Journal. Interestingly, he also composes music for television shows including Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Chicago Fire.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined. On the podcast Art explores how to create more love and joy in life, no matter what transitions we go through. Art is married to his lifelong partner, a proud father of three and a long-time adventurer and global business executive. He is the founder and leader of the Midlife Transition Mastery Community.
