Podcasts about Coincidence

RV PODCAST NEWS EDITIONEpisode 586 - January 26, 2026Hey everybody, welcome to the RV Podcast News Edition. I'm Mike Wendland, and this is where we cut through the press releases, the hype, and the corporate spin to talk about what is really happening in the RV world.Now, quick programming note. If you are listening to this later in the week, we are watching a massive winter snow and ice storm that has affected campgrounds, travel plans, and even caused park closures across large parts of the country. Winter storm Fern has affected a huge swath of the country, 2,300 miles long, from Texas all the way to the East Coast. Ten states have reported more than a foot of snow. Many areas reported in excess of a half inch of ice. In some areas, an inch was reported, bringing down tree limbs across power lines. Well over a million customers have lost electric power and some may be without it for a week or more because of infrastructure damage and terrible road conditions.And as the snow, ice, and sleet slowly move off the eastern coast today, a massive cold front of arctic air is plunging much of the nation to dangerously cold temperatures. In the south, where temps rarely go below freezing, single-digit readings are being reported this morning.Obviously, this has affected many thousands in the RV Community. Fulltimers, even snowbirds who thought they were escaping the worst of winter in the mod south, are struggling to stay warm and keep the water running.The full affect of this storm is still be assessed but from everything we've been able to learn, RVers in the affected areas are reporting frozen water pumps at many campgrounds, propane shortages in the most affected areas and in some cases, no power. We've had reports from dozens of RVers impacted by the snow and overall, most say they are getting by. Most laid in plenty of bottled water, extra food, and made sure they had full tanks of propane and extra fuel for generators. One RVer - John, who lives in his Alliance fifth wheel in Missouri - said his biggest challenge was all the snow and ice piled on top of his slide out. He says the frigid air behind the snow isnt going to allow much melting and he is planning to get a ladder to clear the snow off.In Arkansas, a full-time couple - Sarah and Jim - said they wish they followed their friend's advice to haul their Jayco south towards Florida. “We have gone through two tanks of propane so far and the roads are so bad we can't get out to get them filled.” Her campground still has electricity but she said the lights have flickered and she expects she'll have to switch to generator power as the ice on the power lines is not melting.Perhaps the best assessment came from Ted, a Tennessee fulltimer, who lives in a fifth wheel on his own property along the Tennessee River.. “Most of us know what to do,” he said. “We can handle a week without power. We have a full fresh water tank and I have a 100 gallon propane tank to supplement the tanks in our rig. So we're dressed in heavy clothes and have extra blankets on the bed. This too shall pass.”Let's hope soon.Sop the storm dominates the RV news this week. But coming up, RVers are demanding a real voice with manufacturers, not a hand-picked group of industry insiders, and the response to that idea has been overwhelming.We will look at why campground reservations feel harder than ever to get, even as more parks are built. We will take a closer look at what is really happening in state parks, where long overdue upgrades are coming with some real tradeoffs. We will talk about used RV prices finally settling back toward reality.And we will have a little fun calling out how RV manufacturers keep copying each other's ideas, sometimes so closely it is honestly laughable.Before we get started…. a quick word about the RV Lifestyle Community at RVCommunity.com.If you are tired of ads, algorithms, and social media drama, this is different. It is a private, ad free community built by RVers, for RVers. Real conversations, real advice, real friendships.It is social media the way it SHOULD be.Learn more at RVCommunity.com.STORY 1 — It's Time RVers Had a Real VoiceFor years now, RVers have been talking among themselves about what is wrong with today's RVs.Too many quality issues. Too many poorly designed floorplans. Too many features that look great on a showroom floor but fail miserably in real life.And too often, it feels like no one in the industry is really listening.That thought hit home last week after a listener sent us a message that stopped us cold. He asked a simple but powerful question.Why don't RVers have a direct voice with manufacturers?With massive consolidation among RV manufacturers and dealers, buyers now have fewer real choices than ever before. You walk onto a mega dealer lot and see hundreds of rigs, but when you look closer, many are variations of the same designs, built by the same corporate parents, with the same lingering quality concerns.For many people ready to buy, the problem is not just price.It is confidence.They do not see the RV they actually want. And they are afraid to buy because of what they hear about reliability and workmanship.That is a terrible place for any industry to be.So it raises a bigger question.Who is speaking for real RVers?Right now, manufacturers mostly hear from dealers, sales teams, investors, and marketing departments.What is missing?Us.The people who actually live in these RVs. The ones who discover what works and what fails after thousands of miles of potholes, rainstorms, campground hookups, and real world use.Most feedback today is scattered across Facebook groups, YouTube comments, and forums. Thoughtful insights get buried in noise.That is not a system designed to build better RVs.It is a system designed to build frustration.So here is the idea that sparked a huge response.What if RVers spoke with one clear, organized, constructive voice?Imagine a live, moderated RVer Town Hall. Not a complaint fest. Not a shouting match. A serious conversation where experienced RVers present real world recommendations to manufacturers.Full timers and part timers. Fifth wheels and motorhomes. Retirees, families, weekend travelers.Talking about what actually matters.Build quality. Smarter layouts. Easier maintenance. Durability over decoration. Designs that match how people really camp.If structured properly and promoted well, manufacturers would pay attention. When customers speak thoughtfully and collectively, industries listen.Before we build anything like this, we want to hear from you.If you had five minutes with RV executives and engineers, what would you tell them?Not angry rants.Real ideas.Leave us a voicemail or send us an email at RVPodcast.com. We may feature your ideas on the podcast and use them as the foundation for a future live RVer Town Hall.This is not about tearing down manufacturers.It is about helping them build RVs that truly serve the people who buy them.Because the best RVs will not be created in boardrooms alone.They will be created when real RVers are finally heard.TRAVEL PLANNING WORKSHOP PROMOBefore we move on, a quick reminder.On February 5, I am hosting a live RV Travel Planning Workshop. This is where I walk you through how to plan smarter routes, find better campgrounds, avoid common mistakes, and build trips that actually match how you want to travel.It is practical, hands on, and you will walk away with a plan you can use immediately.Details and registration are available through our site, and I would love to have you join me.STORY 2 — Campgrounds Are Expanding, But Reservations Are Tighter Than EverHere is something RVers keep asking.If more campgrounds are being built, why does it feel harder than ever to get a reservation?On paper, things look good. New private parks are opening. Existing parks are adding sites. States are investing in infrastructure.But in practice, availability feels tighter than ever.RVers are traveling more often and staying longer. More parks are shifting toward monthly and seasonal stays for predictable income. Reservation systems make booking easier, but also more competitive.The result is a paradox.More campgrounds exist. But fewer open dates feel available.For RVers, this means planning earlier, being flexible, and sometimes looking beyond the most obvious destinations.STORY 3 — State Parks Are Upgrading, With Strings AttachedState parks are getting long overdue upgrades.New electrical systems. Rebuilt bathhouses. Extended sites for larger rigs.But these improvements come with tradeoffs.California has seen higher fees and reservation windows that fill in minutes. Florida has fewer first come, first served sites. Michigan's modernization brings 50 amp service and sewer hookups, but also higher nightly rates and tighter booking rules.Better infrastructure. Higher costs. Less spontaneity.State parks are still incredible values, but the old days of pulling in on a whim are fading fast.STORY 4 — Used RV Prices Are Finally Coming Back to EarthUsed RV prices continue to soften.Inventory is up. Buyers are cautious. Dealers are negotiating again.But buyers are selective.Condition matters. Maintenance records matter. Build quality matters.This shift is healthy. Confidence is returning, and patience is finally being rewarded.STORY 5 — Manufacturers Keep Copying Each Other, And It's Getting ObviousNow let's have a little fun, because this is one of those things you cannot unsee once you notice it.RV manufacturers love to talk about innovation.But if you walk a major RV show floor, you quickly realize how much copying is really going on.Case in point, the dinesk, that combination dining area and desk that slides, expands, and adapts depending on how you are using it.It was a standout feature in Brinkley RV models, clever, functional, and genuinely useful for how people live and work on the road.Fast forward to the Tampa RV SuperShow.Suddenly, a new Montana ad is showcasing a remarkably similar setup. And Winnebago rolls out a new towable with a nearly identical movable desk and dining combo.Coincidence? Not likely.And here is the part that makes industry veterans chuckle. Brinkley itself has been told that their dinesk concept resembles a similar idea introduced years ago by another fifth wheel manufacturer.In other words, the copying goes back generations.This is how the RV industry often works. One company takes a risk. Others watch carefully. And once the market responds, suddenly everyone has their own version.Sometimes that is healthy competition.But other times, it leads to stagnation. Instead of improving the idea, manufacturers simply replicate it, sometimes poorly, sometimes without understanding why it worked in the first place.The real opportunity here is not copying.It is listening.RVers know what features actually improve life on the road. They know what gets used every day, and what becomes a gimmick by the third trip.If manufacturers spent more time listening to real RVers and less time copying the rig across the aisle, innovation might actually mean something again.CLOSINGWhen you step back and look at all of this together, a pattern emerges.RVers want better built rigs. They want campgrounds they can actually access. They want state parks that balance upgrades with affordability. And they want to be heard.The RV lifestyle is thriving, but growth brings pressure. How the industry responds now will shape the next decade of RVing.Thanks for listening. We'll be back Wednesday with another Stories from the Road episode.

Hey framily! We kinda stepped away for a minute. Ryan was living his best life, and somehow everything fell apart while we were gone. Coincidence? We think not.In this episode of Virgo Season, Joyhdae and Ryan reunite after a much-needed break and immediately dive headfirst into mess, madness, and moments that'll have you yelling “ABSOLUTELY NOT” at your phone. From a viral social media story about a man living a full double life with two families to Black excellence dominating the Oscar nominations, this episode is everywhere — emotionally, culturally, and spiritually.We break down toxic relationship chaos pulled straight from the timeline, why being the “other woman” sometimes comes with a lease and a baby, and how accountability keeps missing the group chat. Then we pivot into pop culture wins, viral jingles turning into real money, and political foolishness that deserves to be addressed loudly and clearly.And because it's Virgo Season, we close the only way we know how: dark humor, dad vs auntie jokes, and one final reminder that Joyhdae might actually be writing a serial killer novel. Allegedly.Somewhere between chaos and clarity — yeah, we're right back where we belong.⸻Segment BreakdownWhere Have You Been? (The Reunion)Joyhdae and Ryan return from hiatus, immediately start arguing, and explain why the show is about to feel a little more raw and a lot more honest.Absolutely Not: Straight From Social MediaA viral story pulled directly from the timeline that sounds fake but unfortunately isn't.

After months of denials, the Trump administration has acknowledged in a federal court filing that employees working for Elon Musk's supposed cost-cutting operation accessed and improperly shared Americans' sensitive social security data. Meanwhile, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said he plans to focus more on decentralized social media in 2026.~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!00:00 Intro00:10 Sponsor: Tangem01:00 Bombshell admission: DOGE stole all of our data02:00 ICE surveillance budget03:50 Coincidence?04:00 Bad day to list dogecoin04:10 BSA04:40 Elon promises to fix X05:10 Vitalik vows to fight Elon in 202605:50 Move on?06:20 Polymarket growth started slow too07:00 X and Grok growth07:50 Mr. Beast08:30 Everyone going to ETH secretly08:50 Outro#Crypto #Bitcoin #Ethereum~Government Admits To Stealing Our Data!

Let's talk about Minnesota, Greenland, troops, and coincidence….

We pack this whole fam drama. Brooklyn Beckham has gone fully scorched earth, unfollowing his entire family and dropping a multi slide Instagram statement accusing David and Victoria of years of control and media games. He claims wedding drama, name rights pressure, a hijacked first dance and even says his mum danced inappropriately on him in front of guests. The fallout explains why he and Nicola quietly renewed their vows without the Beckhams and why he says his anxiety vanished once he stepped away. Brand Beckham versus Brooklyn has officially entered its messiest era and we are absolutely seated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jase shares some of the most dangerous moments he's witnessed in the woods, explaining why hunting safety has become non-negotiable after too many close calls that nearly cost lives. He demonstrates how getting pressured into an awkward auction led to a chain of events that convinced him coincidences aren't real. The guys turn toward the difference between pain that merely hurts and pain that actually changes you, drawing on real experiences of risk, loss, and growth. The guys wrestle with why avoiding pain often leads to worse outcomes and how joy is often forged on the other side of endurance rather than comfort.

In a single week, Donald Trump goes after the Federal Reserve, criminalises Jerome Powell, and shakes the idea of central bank independence, the quiet pillar holding the global financial system together. At the same time, two oil superpowers, Venezuela and Iran, slide into fresh instability. Coincidence? Not quite. We unpack a world that feels wildly out of balance. In the U.S., markets are booming while consumer confidence collapses. The top 10 stocks now make up 40% of the S&P 500, profits are rising six times faster than wages, and young unemployment is running at 8.5% while older workers stack second jobs. GDP says “fine.” Lived reality says otherwise. Then we turn to energy, the thing that still prices everything. With oil hovering around $60 a barrel, sanctions wobbling, OPEC under strain, and Iran emerging as the real wildcard, we ask what happens next. Oil expert Carol Nackley joins us to explain why Venezuela's reserves don't mean cheap fuel, why Iran could flip the market overnight, and why political chaos makes long-term energy investment almost impossible. This episode is about imbalance, in money, markets, power, and psychology, and why when trust in institutions cracks, the consequences show up everywhere: in your wages, your bills, and the price you pay at the pump.

Heaven is Shaking the Bear It's a principle of Scripture. Prophecy is not fulfilled only once. It is fulfilled repeatedly at appointed times. It's a cycle, not a one-off. This is why we observe the appointed times of Scripture. What has happened before will happen again, sometimes in a reversal of events. The prophecy is not fulfilled exactly as it was before, but the template doesn't change. At this very moment I write, the Persian people have revolted yet again against the Islamist regime by the millions, taking over streets in city after city in Iran. The coming days will test whether this latest revolt will uproot the Islamists that took power in 1979. The current uprising is estimated to have begun "around December 28." The Biblical Fast of the 10th of Tevet began the morning of December 30, but the 10th of Tevet began the evening of December 29th. Coincidence? That's why we fast the four fasts mentioned in Zechariah. The Fast of the 10th of Tevet remembers the tragedy of the Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, beginning the siege against Jerusalem and the beginning of the end of the First Temple. Babylon was the first beast kingdom, the head of the image. Persia succeeded it, swallowing and enlarging territory. Over the last several days, the Iranian people have been targeting Islamist seminaries, mosques, and institutions. In an interesting reversal, the Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the son of the exiled Shah (King) of Iran, is the one calling on the Persian people to rise up and overthrow the Islamic clerics' religious governmental hold in favor of a democracy. Many Iranians are calling for the return of the monarchy, tearing down the flags of the Islamic Republic, and putting up the old Iranian flag that flew before the Shah was deposed. Crown Prince Pahlavi's daughter Princess Iman Pahlavi recently married Jewish-American Bradley Sherman. The Persian Queen Esther, was actually Hadassah, a Jewish exile who married the Persian King Ahasuerus. It was a marriage that brought salvation to the Jews nation, designated to die by wicked Haman, may his name be blotted out. Some of the protestors are posting messages, “The Lion and Eagle will rise again together and once again live in peace,” meaning Iran and Israel. “The Lion of Judah and the Lion of Persia will rise again.” I offer no judgment on these things, just to offer a few illustrations of what is being done and said in this revolution. So what we're seeing is a shaking according to the pattern. What happened to Judah in ancient times, the Babylonian siege against Jerusalem and the seat of Israelite religious life, is occurring in Iran, a territory encompassing both the golden lion of Babylon and the silver bear of Medo-Persia. The Persian people are laying siege to the religious centers and strongholds, demanding regime change, tearing down statues of Islamic terrorist “heroes” such as Soleimani. They are repenting of their grandparents' choice of an Islamic beast cleric to lead their nation. They are chanting against the Islamist clerics' funding of weapons, including the rockets, against Israel. They are chanting against the billions paid out to terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah while Iranians go without basic services, such as clean water. The old “sun and lion” flag of pre-Revolutionary Iran is appearing everywhere, even replacing the Islamic Republic's flag on X. Let's backtrack. What precipitated this Tenth of Tevet Iranian Uprising? During Chanukkah, I posted this Scripture from Haggai, which is the prophecy of Chanukkah. Chanukkah is tied prophetically to Daniel's prophecies of “the abomination that causes desolation.” Haggai prophesies that the first day of the event we know as Chanukkah, or the Feast of Dedication, will commemorate a power change, a deliverance from the oppression of a beast government: • “…from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the LORD was founded, consider: Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree, it has not borne fruit. Yet from this day on I will bless you.'” Haggai continues, highlighting that the appointed time of the prophecy will mark a shaking of the heavens and the earth, which is movement within the principalities and powers that govern the nations: • “Then the word of the LORD came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying, “Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, ‘I am going to shake the heavens and the earth. I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the horses and their riders will go down, everyone by the sword of another.' ‘On that day,' declares the LORD of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,' declares the LORD, ‘and I will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,'” declares the LORD of hosts.” (Hag 2:18-23) Although the prophecy is specifically for Israel in a time of return and rebuilding after exile, it pinpoints a timetable that runs in the heavenlies, which in turn will affect the earth. The Prophet Haggai's Hebrew name is Chaggai, “my feast.” A chag is an appointed time, usually marked by a feast. While Chaggai prophesies of the time when Chanukkah will occur in the epoch of the Greek leopard beast, it is accepted that Chanukkah was instituted to remember a missed chag of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) because the Temple was not yet cleansed of the abomination that causes desolation, a detail prophesied by Daniel. Sukkot, by the way, was when the Temple was founded, precisely pinpointing Chanukkah, an event that had not yet occurred. That abomination of desolation is not a one-time thing. Each beast kingdom finds a way to do it. There is yet an abomination situated on the Temple Mount. The appointed principalities and powers that rule from the heavenlies were adjusted, shaken out of the way to accommodate the returned status of the Jews from Babylonian captivity and the cooperation of Medo-Persia in the transition. This shaking of principalities and powers is also described in the Book of Revelation, a sign that the twelve tribes have repented, returned, and are ready to take up their appointed control of the twelve gates of Jerusalem, another way of saying they will judge the earth with the reigning Messiah Yeshua. The timetable is of particular interest to us this year because the first day of Chanukkah (24th/25th of Kislev), as Chaggai prophesied, is a day when the principalities and powers were adjusted. Nothing changed in the visible world immediately, but powers of nations shake in the spiritual domain. The next appointed time after Chanukkah is the 10th of Tevet, the Tenth Month, a fast day instituted to mourn the beginning of King Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian siege of Jerusalem. It was the beginning of the end for Jerusalem and the First Holy Temple. The 10th of Tevet is considered a “minor” fast day because it is not in the Torah, but in the Prophet Zechariah 8:19:   • “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘The fast of the fourth, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth months will become joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts for the house of Judah; so love truth and peace.'”   It is hard to define modern Iran as either Babylon or Persia, especially when it was infused with the Western influence of the third beast Greece during the reign of Alexander. Daniel described the fourth beast Rome as a conglomerate of the kingdoms that had gone before. So are the modern systems of the beast. The bear swallowed the lion. The leopard swallowed the bear. The Roman beast emerged from between the Western Greece bronze beast and the Eastern golden lion and silver bear; Rome swallowed them all, morphing and developing the most effective power tools of each kingdom: military, religion, politics, government, medicine, athletics, arts, philosophy, education...whatever worked. The beast systems work in three stages: ·     Invitation, baiting with things people want ·     Coercion, application of pressure through punishment for non-compliance ·     Death In Iran, the Islamic regime used this exact progression to gain control of a flowering country in the Middle East in 1979. Recognizing that the shah was introducing modern Western technology and changes too quickly for a traditionally conservative nation (think of Marty McFly going from “Earth Angel” to a heavy metal version of “Johnny B. Goode” in under two minutes in Back to the Future), along with too many other historical and political factors to explain short of recommending a reading list, the Islamists baited the youth of the nation, but when the ayatollah took power, it turned into bait-n-switch. When the Iranian people realized it wasn't what they signed up for, it was too late. The compliance squads round up and torture or kill those who object. They repress every rebellion. They persecute the growing underground church. They threaten and imprison the tiny Jewish community still left in the country if they don't speak support for the regime. They imprison, torture, and kill women who don't wear the hijab. That's how the beast works. But today, the beast shakes.   If you are unfamiliar with the Biblical calendar, the beast kingdoms of Daniel's prophecy, or how principalities and powers exert influence over the earth, we have the following available on YouTube, and our Creation Gospel workbook classes will help establish a good foundation for understanding the Biblical feasts and calendar. To enroll, scroll down.

As It Turns Out, President Trump Took Out Maduro – And Perhaps a Somali Warlord in MinnesotaYeah, that's right – Trump bags the big bad Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in a ballsy midnight raid on January 3, 2026, hauls him and his wife straight to New York for those long-overdue narco-terrorism charges. Blindfolded, handcuffed, perp-walked like a common cartel thug. Trump watches the whole thing live from Mar-a-Lago, probably with a Diet Coke in hand, grinning ear to ear. Victory lap complete.And just two days later? Boom – Tim Walz, Minnesota's own homegrown warlord presiding over a fraud empire that makes Maduro's schemes look like pocket change, suddenly "decides" he's not running for reelection. Coincidence? Please. The guy's staring down a tidal wave of investigations into billions vanished from child nutrition, autism programs, housing, and those ghostly childcare centers. Walz bails faster than a rat off a sinking ship, citing he can't "fully commit" – translation: the feds are closing in, and an indictment would make campaigning awkward.This isn't oversight failure; it's a full-blown Somali-linked grift network thriving under Walz's watch. Feeding Our Future alone: $250+ million stolen, dozens convicted, mostly Somali defendants turning relief funds into luxury cars and wire transfers. Then the childcare explosion – empty buildings raking in millions, viral videos exposing the scam, feds freezing funds and surging agents into Minneapolis. And who's in the mix? Keith Ellison, the AG who allegedly had to personally sign off on fraud probes – talk about a bottleneck designed for bottlenecks. Ilhan Omar, queen of the district where it all went down, with fraudsters mysteriously donating to her campaigns. Ties?

The Venezuela operation has been marketed as a flawless military achievement, and from a purely tactical standpoint, that assessment may be fair. The operators involved are unquestionably elite, and the United States retains unmatched capacity for precision action. The problem is not military competence but credibility. This administration has a long record of half-truths, selective framing, and narrative manipulation, which makes any official explanation suspect by default. The timing of the operation—coinciding with renewed pressure and exposure surrounding the Epstein scandal—raises unavoidable questions about motive. History shows that foreign spectacle is often deployed when domestic scandals threaten powerful interests, and the Epstein network represents exactly that kind of threat. In that context, skepticism is not conspiratorial; it is rational.The justification for targeting Venezuela collapses further when examined through the lens of drug enforcement. Venezuela is not a primary producer of fentanyl and plays only a secondary role as a transit point in broader cocaine trafficking networks. The real drivers of the opioid crisis are Mexican cartels like CJNG and the Chapitos, while cocaine production overwhelmingly originates in Colombia. Selectively framing Venezuela as the central villain exposes the operation as politically convenient rather than strategically honest. Meanwhile, the core causes of America's drug crisis—addiction, mental health, economic despair, and lack of treatment infrastructure—remain chronically underfunded and ignored. The result is a flashy distraction that creates headlines without solving problems, buying time for elites while accountability is delayed once again. In short, the operation may look impressive, but its premise does not hold up under scrutiny—and that dog does not hunt.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Nikola Jokic goes down with a knee injury — and suddenly the volume spikes to kill the NBA's 65-game minimum for MVP and All-NBA eligibility. Coincidence? Or the latest example of the league (and its loudest voices) trying to rewrite the definition of greatness in real time?In the first On The Ball episode of 2026, Ric Bucher explains why the 65-game rule shouldn't be rescinded just because a superstar might miss out. Awards aren't about who we think should win based on peak moments, reputation, or “what he'd do if healthy.” They're about who actually delivered over a full season — and availability has always been part of the job.Ric revisits why the rule was created (hello, load management), why voters needed a clear benchmark, and why removing it would encourage exactly what fans hate: rewarding partial seasons while pretending it's the same as dominance over 82 games. He also calls out the shifting standards in NBA media, the growing subjectivity of awards voting, and the obsession with making everything “perfect” — even when perfection creates new injustices.Plus: Ric makes the case that we should be expanding eligibility rules, creating one to deem who is eligible to be an All-Star.Timestamps 00:00 — Intro: “Cooking with gas” / welcome to On The Ball 00:31 — Ric's platforms + book tease: the value of being coachable 01:32 — First pod of 2026: thank you + what's changing the show today 02:03 — The new flashpoint: NBA's 65-game rule + Jokic injury fallout 02:55 — Jokic vs SGA: how the MVP race shifts 03:16 — Why Ric disagrees with eliminating the rule 04:12 — Why the NBA instituted 65 games: load management + voter clarity 05:07 — The voting problem: who has ballots now (and why it matters) 06:35 — Why 65 games is “etched in stone” 07:23 — The old standard: playing 82 used to be the flex 08:03 — “Perfect” officiating vs reality: the replay obsession analogy 09:20 — The hard truth: injustice happens — that's sports (and life) 10:08 — Injuries, modern training, and why the real issue isn't awards 11:07 — Why changing awards rules dodges the real problem 12:32 — Supermax + health: should durability matter? 14:02 — Awards aren't for “who we think”: they're for who proved it 14:40 — The Bill Walton precedent: MVP with 58 games (and the controversy) 16:45 — The fear: rewarding stars for half-seasons 17:26 — Standards eroding: media, mentorship, and the “old head” dilemma 20:28 — Social media pedestal culture + rule changes for entertainment 21:25 — Why removing 65 games diminishes awards 22:12 — Ric's counter: eligibility rules for All-Star voting instead 22:52 — LeBron + All-Star weekend: honor him, don't gift him a spot 25:05 — Emotional policy-making is bad policy 25:47 — What's next: boosting competition, addressing tanking 26:54 — Outro#NBA #NikolaJokic #MVP #AllNBA #LoadManagement #NBAMedia #OnTheBall #RicBucher #BasketballPodcast #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

This episode is with Anna George, co-founder & CEO of CowSwap / Cow Protocol (originally built inside Gnosis, spun out in 2022). What's wild is Anna spent about a decade in humanitarian/UN work before getting pulled into crypto in 2017 - partly because she wanted impact, and partly because UN bureaucracy will make anyone want to run away and build something. We talk about the real CowSwap origin story: the early DEX experiments that didn't work (including six-hour auctions… lol), the liquidity chicken-and-egg problem, and how CowSwap finally hit product-market fit with intent-based trading, MEV protection, and “you only pay gas if the trade actually executes.” We also cover where they're going next: cross-chain swaps that don't feel like bridging hell, deeper DeFi integrations (including Aave), and a bigger push to make crypto UX not terrible.

A Vancouver born native, Chef David Speight fell in love with our industry as most of us have, out of need and then finding purpose and meaning in the cooking and hospitality. After cooking and running some larger restaurant operations, he was presented with the opportunity to run the behemoth that is GM Place and did so successfully at the same time that the Canucks had their best years. Coincidence, I don't think so. Then he left for the biggest challenge of his career, running all the food operations at the University of British Columbia, with potentially 70000 people eat everyday. His passion for food security, potential food waste and sustainability has put his at the forefront of Chefs who are feed ing so many people and considering all factors involved with that process, not just the cooking.

Today we wanted to speak about political issues affecting young people, independent vs legacy media, housing and of course, gas.

Some signs arrive softly — a feeling, a memory, a sense of someone standing just behind you. Others arrive through a device that shouldn't be speaking at all. In today's episode, we explore a story of grief, connection, and a message delivered through a voice no one expected to hear again. After the sudden loss of her beloved father, a listener found comfort in the small ways he still seemed to stay close: a familiar warning whispered in her mind, a calming presence during a medical emergency, and the sense that he was still looking out for “his girl.” But nothing compared to the moment her quiet house echoed with the unmistakable phrase her dad always used — spoken not from memory, but from her Alexa device. Twice. Then again weeks later. Was it a glitch? Coincidence? Or a father's way of stepping through the thin places to remind his daughter she wasn't facing life alone? #Paranormal #AfterlifeSigns #RealGhostStories #FamilySpirits #HauntedHomes #AlexaParanormal #EVPActivity #LovedOnesBeyond #GhostlyMessages  Love real ghost stories?

Yet again, Washington's Democratic Socialist representative Sean Scott wants to tax businesses into oblivion with a statewide payroll tax—because apparently $9.4 billion in new taxes this year wasn't enough. While moderate Bellevue Mayor Lynn Robinson warns this will be "detrimental to everybody," Scott thinks he can squeeze $3 billion more from the corporations that actually fund everything in this state. What could go wrong?We break down how Seattle's payroll tax already pushed 10,000 jobs to Bellevue, where businesses can operate without getting fleeced at every turn. Meanwhile, Scott—a proud member of Democratic Socialists of America—argues we need to "spread the wealth around" while completely ignoring that these same businesses provide the tax base that funds his beloved social programs. Meta just declined to expand in Bellevue this week. Coincidence?Is anyone surprised that socialism's track record of spectacular failure doesn't deter these ideologues? How long before Washington becomes California 2.0 with a taxpayer exodus every 30 minutes? Subscribe and hit the bell—because this trainwreck is just getting started.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're revisiting one of the most disturbing and debated questions of the year: Was Bryan Kohberger just a socially awkward PhD student obsessed with criminology—or a meticulous killer hiding in plain sight? In this full-length breakdown, Tony Brueski sits down with former felony prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis, and later, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, to unravel both sides of the psychological and legal battlefield surrounding the Idaho student murder case. From disappearing cell phone signals to Amazon receipts allegedly showing purchases of masks and knives months before the crime, the evidence paints a chilling picture of intent and foresight. Prosecutors say these details form a digital breadcrumb trail of premeditation—a methodical pattern that includes turning off his phone during the murders, changing his license plates afterward, and buying a new knife sharpener like it was just another household necessity. Faddis breaks down how prosecutors could use this mountain of circumstantial evidence to prove intent and pattern, while the defense may counter with claims of coincidence—or even neurodivergence, arguing that Kohberger's socially awkward behavior is being misinterpreted as malice. Could an autism spectrum defense help humanize him in front of a jury—or would it risk sounding like an excuse for cold, calculated planning? Then, Shavaun Scott joins Tony for the darker dive — exploring the unsettling parallels between Kohberger's alleged actions and cinematic killers like Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) and Norman Bates (Psycho). From his mirror selfie and sterile composure to online alter egos like “Papa Rodger” commenting about the murders in real time, they examine how narcissism, ego, and obsession with control may have blended into performance. Was Kohberger studying criminology to understand crime—or to perfect it? And if these clues were left on purpose, what was the endgame: to prove superiority, or to be remembered?

Information on today's episode: November 26th: Last of Alphabet Murders Victims Reported Missing (1973) Sometimes there are coincidences in a case that can muddle an investigation. On November 26th 1973 the last of three victims were reported missing in what was called the Alphabet Murders. A case that, many believe, the main detail might have been nothing more than a coincidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabet_murders, https://www.newsweek.com/double-initial-murders-alphabet-murders-alphabet-killer-rochester-new-york-1844558, https://www.oxygen.com/crime-news/alphabet-murders-victims-dna-suspects-rochester-new-york, https://allthatsinteresting.com/alphabet-murders, https://medium.com/the-history-insider/the-alphabet-murders-that-terrified-rochester-ny-for-three-years-remains-unsolved-today-32c7a7891b0c, https://biographics.org/the-alphabet-killer-letters-of-obsession/, https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/suspects-diary-alphabet-murders-case-describes-victims-flna6c10924814, https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/investigations/2009/03/01/double-initial-murders-remain-mystery-after-35-years-police-still/77384622/, https://www.aetv.com/real-crime/double-initial-murders-alphabet-unsolved-child-murders Learn more about your ad choices.

Old houses have a way of holding on to memories. But in one century home just outside Toronto, those memories were very much alive. When three friends moved into the creaky, uneven rooms of a Stouffville farmhouse, they expected a bit of character — not nightly whispers drifting from the dining room. Not footsteps pacing the hall. Not the feeling of a child quietly standing in the corner, just out of sight. Then came the name — spelled one letter at a time through a crystal pendulum: J-A-C-O-B. Months later, as they packed to leave, the ceiling gave up its secret — a small wooden box hidden above the stairs. Inside were marbles, a sports card, and a note written in a child's careful hand. Two words: Jacob Williams. Coincidence? Or proof that the boy they'd spoken to had been listening all along? #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #ChildSpirit #RealHaunting #GhostStories #ParanormalActivity #Poltergeist #HauntedHome #RealGhostStoriesOnline #CreepyEncounters Love real ghost stories?

Park City researcher John Berry claims he's mapped an ancient energy machine—mountains as conductors, basins as parabolic amplifiers—tapping the planet's hidden power. Filed in Utah's Fourth District Court to etch his discovery into history, Berry links this template to Mormon temples, Masonic mines, Tesla's lost truths, even UAPs and cattle mutilations. Coincidence or erased civilization? GUEST: Gib Berry is an independent researcher and Park City native who traded ski slopes for satellite maps to chase a radical theory: Utah's Wasatch Range conceals a pre-Egyptian energy grid modeled on the Great Pyramid. Using GIS overlays, he's documented alignments between ancient geometry, Mormon temples, historic mines, and modern military sites—then filed the evidence in Utah's Fourth District Court to bypass gatekeepers. A former outdoorsman turned citizen scientist, Berry warns this “machine made of mountains” may explain everything from ghost lights to UAP hotspots, urging skeptics to overlay the data themselves and feel the grid pulse beneath their feet.

Three friends. An empty house. A cold UK night. It should've been a normal 2016 sleepover… until the thing in the garden showed up wearing their friend's face. It started with tapping and scratching upstairs — no parents home, no landline, no way to call for help. Then, outside in the dark, one of the boys comes face-to-face with “Jacob”… except Jacob was already inside watching TV. The version outside had no expression, no warmth — and in a voice that sounded human but wasn't, it told him: “Lock the tent, mate.” That's when they realized what they were dealing with: a skinwalker-style shapeshifter, the kind that mimics people to get close. The night only got worse. Hours later, he woke up screaming, convinced a massive bear was mauling him. His friends saw him fighting something invisible. By morning, the phone rang — his brother in America had really been killed by a bear in his sleep that same night. Coincidence? Psychic bond between brothers? Or did the shapeshifter deliver a warning from the other side of the world? #TrueGhostStory #Skinwalker #ParanormalActivity #Shapeshifter #SleepoverGoneWrong #PsychicConnection #RealGhostStoriesOnline #CreepyEncounters #BearAttack #SupernaturalStory Love real ghost stories?

Since then: illness, despair, relentless bad luck. Coincidence… or something darker? To unravel the mystery, Richard Syrett welcomes Deliverance Minister Randy Goodwin — a man who once found himself the target of an actual coven. Together, they'll confront the ancient belief that words can wound and intent can destroy. Are curses real — and if you've been marked, how do you fight back? GUEST: Randy Goodwin is a Deliverance Minister and spiritual warfare veteran who's faced the darkness firsthand. Once targeted by a coven that cursed and stalked him, he survived a harrowing supernatural battle that reshaped his faith and his mission. Today, he trains churches and individuals to recognize psychic attack, break generational curses, and reclaim their spiritual freedom through faith, prayer, and discernment.

A quiet school night turns strange when an 11-year-old locks himself in the bathroom, crying that something stomped up behind him. In the mirror, he sees a figure—pure white, human-shaped, with horns and a star on its chest. Weeks earlier, the lights in that same room cut out for a full ten seconds. Coincidence—or the first warning? His mom believes him, keeps him calm, and starts looking for answers while trying not to plant scarier ones. Next, we head to a Wisconsin basement where two siblings test their nerves: moving shadows, a whispered “no” captured on an EVP app, drained flashlights, and a long night of invisible taps to the face—while the dog sleeps in another room and every normal explanation falls apart. Then a dream that feels too real: a listener bitten in a nightmare, followed by four crows standing silent in the road the next morning. Bad dream and weird birds—or a message that showed up twice?

Not every haunting starts with a whisper in the dark. Sometimes it starts with a television fading to black. Janet from East Texas shares a chilling premonition from her teens: a dream of Bonanza's Hoss Cartwright slowly collapsing into that old CRT “pin-dot” just hours before the real Dan Blocker died. Coincidence—or a goodbye that arrived through the glow of a screen? From there, we step into a different kind of dread: a hospital hallway, a five-year-old wanderer, and the first sighting of a towering shadow man with a hat and burning red eyes. He doesn't stay in the hospital. He follows her home—through childhood, up the stairs, to the bathroom door—until years later her own daughter starts describing “the evil man” the exact same way. A stunned relative sees him too, looming over a child's empty bed, forcing a family to fight back with faith, blessings, and a handful of holy medals. Are these stories proof that our fears call things to us—or that the people we love and the things that hate us know exactly how to find our light? #RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #Premonition #DanBlocker #Bonanza #HatMan #ShadowPeople #HauntedHospital #ParanormalExperience #BlessThisHouse  Love real ghost stories?

When Cheryl walked into that palliative care room, the air didn't feel like a hospital—it felt like a threshold. Her mother would drift, smile at something no one else could see, and whisper, “It's so beautiful.” Then one name—Mildred—a grandmother Cheryl's mom never knew, slips from her lips like a breadcrumb from the other side. Cheryl decides to try one last ritual: reading aloud the book her mother loved but she herself never bothered to open. Page by page, morning after morning, her mother's eyes find the words. The room calms. Time bends. And as the final lines land… something happens that will make you question whether endings are chosen or written. After the funeral, grief stalks Cheryl in the quiet places—parking lots, highways, the space between breaths—until a single song begins to thread through the noise like a hand taking hers. Not once. Not twice. Every time the tears rise. Different stations. Perfect timing. A request whispered to the universe… answered. And then, a white feather drops into her lap like a signed message. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #Paranormal #Afterlife #SignFromHeaven #DeathbedVisions #Angels #Synchronicity #IntoTheMystic #GriefAndTheSupernatural #HauntedGoodbye #SpiritSigns Love real ghost stories?

Do you believe in goblins and fairies? Do you believe in their the magic? Well, the Fairy Minister Reverend Robert Kirk did. In 1691, he published The Secret Commonwealth of Elves and Fairies, a book that described in detail their habits, appearance, and secrets. The following year, Reverend Kirk was found dead on Doon Hill, the alleged entrance to the realm of the fairies. Coincidence? You decide. Sources: Aberfoyle - Here. Now.
