    China's rise is often framed as a geopolitical contest, but Kaiser Y Kuo, host of the Sinica Podcast, pushes us to confront something deeper: what if China's transformation exposes the West's blind spots about modernity, power, and progress itself?

    What is gluttony really? If you’ve ever worried about overeating, obsessing about food, or wondered whether enjoying that extra slice of cake is a spiritual failure, this episode is for you. Best-selling author and host Heather Creekmore dives deep into the true heart behind gluttony—exploring why our modern definitions miss the mark and how diet culture and church culture have distorted our understanding. Heather reframes gluttony, drawing on biblical insight, church history, and thought-provoking examples from C.S. Lewis and Tim Keller. She challenges the idea that gluttony is simply about having seconds or what’s on your plate and asks powerful questions about cravings, control, and where we derive our satisfaction. Plus, Heather explores how misplaced fears about food can keep us stuck and why true freedom comes from surrender—not self-denial. Whether food has become a source of stress or you’re striving for perfect control, this conversation will open your eyes to new ways of understanding your desires and finding satisfaction. Ready to rethink gluttony and experience food freedom? Listen now for practical encouragement, spiritual wisdom, and a fresh take you won’t want to miss!

Despite having a record of two wins and three losses as a starter, McCarthy is struggling with consistency, especially in-game as opposed to practice. Forness discusses McCarthy's mechanical problems, such as footwork and pocket movement, and suggests running no-huddle tempo offense as a short-term solution to build McCarthy's confidence and consistency. The episode emphasizes the importance of level-headed, data-driven analysis over hot takes, and engages in detailed discussion about potential ways to help McCarthy develop into a franchise quarterback.

    Exploring the grand tapestry of St. Louis history, the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis emerges not just as a sacred space but as a monument to time itself. Our conversation with John C. Guenther dives into the architectural marvel that is the Cathedral Basilica, weaving through its 352-year history—from its early log church days in 1770 to the stunning mosaics that now grace its walls. We reminisce about the old cathedral, which was built in the early 19th century, and how it all ties into the rich narrative of St. Louis's founding. Did you know that the Cathedral Basilica boasts the largest collection of glass mosaics in the Western Hemisphere? That's right! With over 83,000 square feet covered in vivid colors and intricate designs, it's a visual feast that tells the story of faith and community. John shares the creative process behind the mosaics, revealing how artisans captured the light with their craftsmanship, making each piece of glass come alive in a dance of brilliance. This isn't just architecture; it's a living, breathing story that continues to unfold with every visitor who steps inside.We reveal the significance of the Cathedral Basilica being a pilgrimage site and a testament to the faith of the people of St. Louis. John passionately recounts how the Basilica was designed to bring heaven to earth, a sentiment echoed in the stunning architecture and the historical events that have taken place within its walls. This episode isn't just about bricks and mortar; it's about the heart of a city, the stories of its people, and the enduring spirit that has shaped St. Louis.[00:00] Introduction to St. Louis in Tune[00:39] Weather Talk and Show Introduction[01:24] Guest Introduction: John Gunther[04:31] History of the Old Cathedral[06:08] The New Cathedral and Its Significance[21:15] The Mosaics of the Cathedral Basilica[27:06] Creating the Mosaics: An Artistic Journey[30:17] The Mosaic Installation Process[31:44] The Artists Behind the Mosaics[33:53] Architectural Marvels and Comparisons[37:36] Renovations and Maintenance[41:11] Historical Anecdotes and Personal Stories[46:55] Upcoming Events and Final ThoughtsTakeaways:The Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis is a masterpiece that took years to create, and it showcases 83,000 square feet of stunning mosaics that truly leave you in awe. Did you know that the old cathedral is actually the only piece of property that has remained under the same ownership since the founding of St. Louis? Talk about history! John C. Gunther's new book dives deep into 138 key moments in the cathedral's development, intertwining the history of St. Louis with the architectural marvel itself. The cathedral's mosaics are made of 41.5 million pieces of glass and come in 7,000 shades of color, making it the largest collection of mosaics in the Western Hemisphere! Archbishop Glennon's vision for the cathedral combined Romanesque and Byzantine styles, which is a unique architectural blend not commonly seen in America. The process of creating these mosaics is nothing short of miraculous, involving thousands of individual pieces carefully placed to catch the light just right, turning the interior into a sparkling wonderland.

    "Lindsey, I hate my stomach. I can't stop thinking about it. It's ruining my day, my mood, my recovery. What do I do?" If your stomach is your biggest trigger in recovery - if you can't stop looking at it, obsessing over whether it looks bigger, spiraling every time you see your reflection - this episode is for you, girlfriend. Host Lindsey Nichol gets real about stomach hate in recovery and shares something her client needed to hear today: "I may not love my stomach every day, but if I'm being honest? I didn't love my stomach every day when I was in the trenches of my eating disorder either." So here's the question: Which hard do you want? Hard #1: Hating your stomach while you're restricting, obsessing, body checking, over-exercising, and missing your life. Hard #2: Sometimes not loving your stomach, but being FREE. Living your life. Eating with family. Being present. Having energy. Both are hard. But only one leads to freedom. In this episode, Lindsey shares her own stomach struggles - how she used to search for evidence it was "blowing up," how it would send her into spirals of restriction and over-exercise, and what she does NOW on the days when she doesn't love her stomach. Plus, she gives you 7 practical tools you can use on your hardest days. This is real talk with practical help. No toxic positivity. No "just love yourself." Just honest truth and actionable tools for when your stomach triggers you. In This Episode, You'll Hear: Lindsey's Stomach Story: The Disorder Days How she was super conscious of her stomach feeling or looking bigger Searching for evidence it was "blowing up" - every mirror, reflection, window The spirals: restriction, over-exercise, mood switches Feeling out of control and reacting - being short or avoidant with loved ones How stomach hate controlled her entire day, every day The Truth Bomb: Choose Your Hard Hard #1: Hating your stomach while trapped in the eating disorder Hard #2: Sometimes not loving your stomach but being FREE The reality: Even at her lowest weight, Lindsey STILL didn't love her stomach The question: What other options do you have? Why you have to choose which hard you want to live with Why the Stomach Specifically? Why the stomach is such an easy target for self-criticism How society and social media have trained us to hate our stomachs Why the stomach becomes the "safe" target instead of dealing with real feelings The truth: Restriction makes stomach issues WORSE (digestion, bloating) Reality check: Stomachs are SUPPOSED to change throughout the day Aren't stomachs supposed to be FULL? That's their job What Lindsey Does NOW on Hard Days Wears baggy clothes, not restrictive clothing Avoids opportunities to stare in the mirror and body check Reminds herself of the truth: stomachs are allowed to change Thinks about her little girl self who never cared about her stomach Remembers being pregnant and LOVING watching her stomach grow Accepts that not loving her stomach doesn't mean she's failed The Shift That Changed Everything The realization: She was NEVER going to like her stomach at any size or weight Her stomach wasn't the problem - it was a tool for self-sabotage Used stomach hate when feeling out of control or "not enough" The only way through was acceptance and perspective shift Understanding that stomach hate is usually about something else entirely 7 Tools for Your Hardest Days Stop the Body Checking - Walk away from mirrors, put on baggy clothes Ask the Real Question - What am I really feeling? What am I avoiding? Function Over Form - Your stomach digests food, that's its job Remember Your Little Girl Self - You didn't care about your stomach as a kid Choose Your Hard - Trapped and hating it OR free and sometimes not loving it Wear Comfortable Clothes - Stop punishing yourself with restrictive clothing Talk Back to the Voice - "My stomach is allowed to change and that's okay" Key Takeaways: ✨ You didn't love your stomach in the disorder either - so what are you really choosing? ✨ There are two hards: choose yours - trapped with stomach hate OR free with occasional stomach discomfort ✨ Your stomach is not the problem - it's a symptom, a distraction from real feelings ✨ Restriction makes stomach issues WORSE - bloating, digestion problems increase with restriction ✨ Stomachs are supposed to change - throughout the day, after meals, when sitting vs standing ✨ The stomach is an easy target - easier to hate your stomach than deal with underlying fears ✨ You'll never be satisfied at any size - if stomach hate is really about control and self-sabotage ✨ Body checking makes it worse - the more you look, the more you spiral ✨ Function over form - your stomach's job is to digest food, not be flat 24/7 ✨ Little girl you didn't care - the goal isn't loving your stomach, it's living without it controlling you ✨ You don't have to love it to live - freedom doesn't require stomach love, just stomach acceptance Powerful Quotes from This Episode: "I may not love my stomach every day, but if I'm being honest? I didn't love my stomach every day when I was in the trenches of my eating disorder either" "Your stomach is a huge pain point in recovery. I get it. I've been there. It's real, it's valid, and it's one of the hardest parts" "I would search - like literally SEARCH - for evidence that it was blowing up" "My mood would switch on a dime. I'd feel totally out of control" "Your stomach doesn't have to control you. It doesn't have to dictate your mood, your choices, or your day" "Both are hard. But which hard do you want?" "Even at my lowest weight, I STILL didn't love my stomach. Even then. Even at my sickest" "So what other options do you have? Stay in the disorder and hate your stomach, or recover and sometimes not love it but have your LIFE back" "The stomach is easy for us to tear ourselves apart over" "Restriction makes stomach issues WORSE. When you're not eating enough, your digestion slows down. You get more bloated" "Aren't stomachs supposed to be full? That's their job. To hold food. To digest. To nourish you" "I was never going to like my stomach. No matter my size. No matter my weight" "Hating my stomach wasn't actually about my stomach. It was just a part of me that I used to self-sabotage when I felt out of control or not enough" "When you hate your stomach, ask yourself: What am I really afraid of right now?" "99% of the time, it's not actually your stomach" "You don't have to love your stomach to live your life. You don't have to love your stomach to recover" "Your stomach is not the enemy. Your stomach is just a stomach. It's allowed to exist. It's allowed to change. It's allowed to be full" "Choose your hard, girlfriend. Choose freedom" The 7 Tools Explained: Tool #1: Stop the Body Checking When you feel the urge to look in the mirror, pull your shirt tight, or analyze your stomach - STOP. Literally stop. Walk away. Do something else. Put on baggy clothes. The more you body check, the worse the obsession gets. Tool #2: Ask the Real Question Stop asking "Why does my stomach look like this?" and start asking "What am I really feeling right now? What am I avoiding?" Get to the root. Your stomach is almost never the actual problem. Common real feelings underneath stomach hate: Feeling out of control in some area of life Fear about something coming up Feeling "not enough" in comparison to others Anxiety about a situation Avoiding deeper emotional work Tool #3: Function Over Form Remind yourself: Your stomach digests food. It nourishes you. It expands when you eat because that's its JOB. It's not supposed to be flat 24/7. That's not realistic, healthy, or even possible. Tool #4: Remember Your Little Girl Self You didn't care about your stomach as a kid. You just lived. You played. You ate. You didn't analyze your body. THAT is the goal - not loving your stomach every day, just LIVING without it controlling you. Also remember: When you were pregnant (if applicable), you LOVED watching your stomach grow. You celebrated what your body could do. Why do you hate it now? Tool #5: Choose Your Hard On the hard days, say this out loud: "I can hate my stomach and be trapped in restriction, obsession, and isolation - OR I can sometimes not love my stomach but be FREE to live my life. Which hard do I want?" Tool #6: Wear Comfortable Clothes Stop punishing yourself with restrictive clothing. Stop wearing things that make you hyper-aware of your stomach all day. Wear what feels good. Your comfort matters more than how your stomach looks. Baggy clothes aren't "giving up" - they're choosing peace. Tool #7: Talk Back to the Voice When that critical voice says "Your stomach is too big," you talk back with truth: "My stomach is allowed to change" "My stomach is doing its job" "My stomach does not define my worth" "I didn't love my stomach at my lowest weight either, so this isn't about size" "Stomachs are supposed to be full" Questions to Reflect On: About Your Stomach Hate: When did you first start hating your stomach? What do you do when you hate your stomach? (body check, restrict, over-exercise, avoid people?) Does hating your stomach actually solve anything? Did you love your stomach at your lowest weight? (Be honest) About the Real Feelings: What are you REALLY feeling when you hate your stomach? What are you avoiding by focusing on your stomach? When does stomach hate show up most? (after meals, stressful situations, comparison moments?) What would happen if you couldn't focus on your stomach anymore - what would you have to deal with? About Your Choices: Which hard do you want: trapped and hating it OR free and sometimes not loving it? What is stomach hate costing you? (relationships, experiences, peace, presence?) What would change if your stomach wasn't your focus anymore? Are you ready to stop letting your stomach control your life? About Your Little Girl Self: When was the last time you thought about your body the way you did as a little girl? What would little-girl-you think about how much time you spend hating your stomach? What did you do with your time before stomach hate consumed you? Who This Episode Is For: This episode is essential listening if you: Hate your stomach and it's ruining your recovery Can't stop body checking your stomach throughout the day Search for "evidence" your stomach is getting bigger Spiral into restriction or over-exercise when you hate your stomach Let your stomach dictate your mood, choices, and entire day Feel triggered by your stomach after every meal Compare your stomach to everyone else's Thought you'd love your stomach in recovery but you don't Feel like your stomach is the one body part you can't accept Need real talk and practical tools, not toxic positivity Are stuck between hating your stomach in the disorder vs. sometimes not loving it in freedom Need permission to not love your stomach but live your life anyway Important Truths About Stomachs in Recovery: Stomachs Change Throughout the Day: Flatter in the morning Fuller after meals Different when sitting vs. standing Bloated sometimes (especially in recovery) This is NORMAL and HEALTHY Restriction Makes It Worse: Slows digestion Increases bloating Creates more discomfort Makes you MORE obsessed with your stomach Stomach Hate Is Usually About Something Else: Control issues Fear and anxiety Feeling "not enough" Comparison to others Avoiding deeper feelings You Didn't Love It at Your Lowest Weight Either: If you still hated your stomach at your sickest, size isn't the issue Stomach hate is a symptom, not the problem No amount of restriction will make you love it Function Over Form: Your stomach's job is to digest food It's supposed to expand after eating It's supposed to be FULL Flat stomachs 24/7 are not realistic or healthy What Lindsey Does Now (Practical Examples): Morning Routine: Puts on comfortable, baggy clothes first thing Avoids standing in front of mirror analyzing Brushes teeth, does hair, moves on Doesn't give herself opportunity to spiral After Meals: Expects stomach to be fuller - that's its job Reminds herself: "Stomachs are supposed to be full" Doesn't body check or analyze Focuses on how she FEELS, not how she LOOKS On Triggering Days: Acknowledges: "I don't love my stomach today and that's okay" Asks: "What am I really feeling? What's really bothering me?" Remembers: "I didn't love it in the disorder either - choose your hard" Takes action on the real feeling instead of obsessing about stomach Clothing Choices: Wears what feels comfortable, not what's restrictive Doesn't punish herself with tight clothes Chooses outfits that let her focus on living, not analyzing The "Choose Your Hard" Framework: Hard Option #1: Hating Your Stomach While Trapped Constant body checking Restriction and over-exercise Mood swings and irritability Avoiding loved ones Missing life experiences Obsessive thoughts Still hating your stomach anyway Hard Option #2: Sometimes Not Loving It But Being Free Eating meals with family Having energy for life Being present in moments Not spending hours body checking Living without constant obsession Having relationships Experiencing joy Still sometimes not loving your stomach The Question: Which hard do you want? The Truth: You're going to have hard days with your stomach either way. At least in recovery, you get your LIFE back. Ready for Support?

Overview of the podcast's goal of analyzing fascinating but flawed movies and discussing 'Magnolia' by Paul Thomas Anderson. Film Reception and Initial Impressions (02:47 - 06:41) Discussion on the film's commercial performance (barely recouped budget). Observations on how the interconnected plotlines initially seem scattered but progressively reveal ties. Personal Reactions and Character Complexity (06:41 - 09:43) Sam expresses strong dislike for the film, citing an emotional aversion to nearly all characters except the frogs. Recognition of standout performances by William H. Macy and Philip Seymour Hoffman despite overall dislike. Overview of Film Narrative and Themes (09:43 - 19:46) Aaron explains the ensemble format, interconnected stories set in San Fernando Valley culminating in a biblical-style frog plague. Major theme identified: dysfunctional relationships between parents and children. Cops and Authority Portrayal (19:46 - 29:25) John C. Reilly's character depicted as a well-meaning but incompetent cop, demonstrating systemic failures in law enforcement. The film's critical stance towards police, contrasting with mainstream media depictions at the time. Character Analysis: Donnie and Stanley (29:25 - 39:23) William H. Macy's character as a former quiz boy who symbolizes a lost potential and relatability to gifted child experience. Debate on whether his storyline is essential or expendable in a trimmed-down version of the film.

Tom Cruise's Frank T.J. Mackey characterized as a 'manosphere' guru shaped by family trauma. Claudia and Themes of Control and Addiction (49:49 - 59:40) Claudia viewed as a victim of parental control, drug addiction, and neglect juxtaposed with her father's manipulative behavior. Biblical allusion of plague of frogs as symbolic of parental failure to 'let their children go.' Frank T.J. Mackey and Masculine Performance (59:41 - 01:09:41) Spotlight on Tom Cruise's versatile and immersive performance as Frank T.J. Mackey, exploring the emotional façade and trauma underlying his character. Mention of Cruise's Oscar nomination for the role and the improvisation he brought to the emotional father-son scenes. Julianne Moore's Character and Themes of Caregiving and Betrayal (01:09:41 - 01:20:56) Detailed discussion of Linda Partridge showing vulnerability, guilt, and emotional complexity amid caregiving for a dying Earl Partridge. Exploration of betrayal themes and intimate family dynamics. Film Length and Narrative Structure Discussion (01:20:56 - 01:32:27) Consensus on the film's excessive length complicating viewer engagement. Suggestions to streamline or reimagine — either cut characters and subplots or expand into a miniseries format. Potential Edits and Streamlining Approaches (01:32:27 - 01:43:10) Aaron recommends removing William H. Macy's character to focus tightly on key children and their relationships with their parents. Both emphasize retaining vital scenes such as the frog plague, quiz show elements, and key emotional arcs. Lighthearted Closing and Future Topics (01:43:10 - 01:53:43) Humorous tangent on frogs and Ninja Turtles. Promotion of next episode on 'Highlander 2: The Quickening.'

    Authorities in Los Angeles are unraveling a chilling true crime case that began with the discovery of a 14-year-old girl's body inside the trunk—known as the “frunk”—of a Tesla owned by recording artist David, a popular social media personality with a massive following. The victim, identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, had been missing for months before her severely decomposed remains were found sealed inside a black trash bag in the front compartment of the car. Former FBI agent and true crime analyst Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the disturbing evidence and the unanswered questions surrounding this case. Was this an accident, a cover-up, or something far darker? Despite widespread reports that the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has yet to determine the cause or manner of Celeste's death, the circumstances surrounding her discovery have left both investigators and the public horrified. Coffindaffer details how the Tesla was towed after being parked near David's home for an extended period, the odor of decay leading police to the grisly discovery. The body—reportedly weighing only 70 pounds due to severe decomposition—was found in a space barely large enough to fit golf clubs, suggesting possible dismemberment or deliberate concealment. Evidence was later seized from David's home under a search warrant, though investigators have not confirmed whether the crime occurred there. Experts in forensic entomology and anthropology are now examining the remains to determine how long Celeste had been dead and whether her injuries point to foul play. Comparisons have been made to other high-profile cases, including Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie, as investigators race to uncover what really happened to the young teen who reportedly first connected with David through social media when she was just 12 years old. This heartbreaking story exposes the dark side of online fame and exploitation, as questions mount about how a child's life ended in such a horrific way. Was it negligence, grooming, or a calculated act of violence? As new forensic results come to light, the world waits for justice for Celeste Rivas Hernandez. #CelesteRivasHernandez #TrueCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #TeslaCase #BreakingNews #ForensicInvestigation #JusticeForCeleste #CrimeWatch #MissingPerson #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    Authorities in Los Angeles are unraveling a chilling true crime case that began with the discovery of a 14-year-old girl's body inside the trunk—known as the “frunk”—of a Tesla owned by recording artist David, a popular social media personality with a massive following. The victim, identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, had been missing for months before her severely decomposed remains were found sealed inside a black trash bag in the front compartment of the car. Former FBI agent and true crime analyst Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the disturbing evidence and the unanswered questions surrounding this case.
