Plus, President Trump faces the inescapable reality that he's lost support for the war in Iran among voters and his own party. The Washington Post also breaks the story that Trump secretly flew out of Turkey last month because of a threat, leaving Air Force One – and reporters and key Trump officials on board – to be used as a decoy. And the WNBA has been getting its moment of glory, while also getting dragged into the culture wars.

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features the article “Plant Growth Regulators and Biostimulants For Fine Turf — What's the Difference?” written by Richard E. Schmidt, Professor Emeritus, Virginia Tech. Read from the July / August 2026 issue of Virginia Turfgrass Journal. Introduction, written by Mike Goatley, Jr., Professor and Extension Turfgrass Specialist, Virginia Tech Virginia Tech Professor Emeritus Richard E. Schmidt passed on December 31, 2025 at the age of 94. Upon the passing of his wife, June, in 2022, Dick's son, Stephen, asked me to please “keep Dad active and engaged by involving him in a project”. Well, the project I asked Dick to work on for me was to summarize what he considered to be some of the most significant findings of his research of biostimulants as compared to more traditional plant growth regulators. Dick literally continued to review articles and write from that point until he was prepared to pass, calling me on December 30 to let me know that he did not have much more time and it was up to me to complete this article. There was little that was needed for me to “complete” this article, but it was my pleasure to provide the final review and edits to Dick's last scientific publication for the turfgrass industry. I decided I can't give you everything Dick was exploring… he went into areas of literature review on gene regulation and expression in plant hormone production, the chemistry and production of phytosiderophores, and a host of other topics that I simply am not qualified to discuss. My effort focused on refining Dick's article in a way that I felt would most benefit you, the turfgrass manager. Dick is referred to by many as “the Godfather of turfgrass biostimulants,” but his recognition for his efforts in better understanding these compounds did not come without professional challenges. He was often confronted by scientific peers that he should not be wasting his time doing “snake oil research”. But Dick remained resolute that these compounds had the potential to play important roles in managed turfgrass, especially turfgrass that was likely to encounter environmental stress. Dick, along with research scientists like VT's Dr. Xunzhong Zhang (and a number of graduate students such as myself studying under him at Tech) slowly but surely progressed in the understanding of why and how these compounds might work (or not) rather than just practicing the approach of “spray and pray”. VT Turfgrass alum and Purdue University Turfgrass Professor Dr. Cale Bigelow made a comment about Dick's legacy that I thought was very astute: “I dare say that almost every high-profile golf course or sports field anywhere in the country likely has some formulation(s) of a biostimulant in their chemical room that the manager is applying as a standard tool in their management program.” I hope you will take a few minutes to read Dick's final article on this subject matter as a way to pay tribute to his lifetime of research efforts, and to learn a little more about how to use these compounds to improve your turfgrass management program. Plant Growth Regulators and Biostimulants For Fine Turf — What's the Difference? Are you confused concerning the use of plant growth regulators (PGR's) or biostimulants? First a couple of basic definitions of these compounds to set the stage for this discussion. For the purpose of this paper, I will define a PGR as any compound that alters plant growth or development and a biostimulant as an organic substance derived from plants and animals that, when applied in small quantities, may enhance plant growth and metabolism to enhance turfgrass tolerance to environmental stress. There is definitely some overlap in these definitions, so it's understandable if you are confused by the distinctions between these two classes of chemistry. Conflicting information concerning the efficacy of newly introduced materials occurs frequently. Dr. Bill Kreuser (2015) points out the advantages of using plant growth regulators for fine turf. Subsequently, VT alum Dr. Jordan Booth (2023) advocates managing bentgrass putting greens in the transition zone without plant growth regulators. Here are two highly regarded scientists with quite variable viewpoints on this subject, and I think both are correct in their findings and recommendations, depending on the situation. To get a perspective on the subject let us briefly review the history of the use of compounds that fall outside the category of fertilizers but are known to affect the growth and development of plants. Prior to World War II, a growth hormone in the form of the herbicide 2,4-D, was introduced to selectively control broadleaf weeds in turfgrass populations. Reports of effectiveness varied. Its application for weed control did not become widespread until sufficient research was conducted to show that applications made during the winter months were not effective until warmer weather in the spring when broadleaf weeds were actively growing. Once it was established that this chemical effectiveness was influenced by the environment, its use became standard. This is a reminder that from the beginning of the use of synthetic chemicals that environmental condition must be considered in obtaining desired results when applying chemicals to turf. 2,4-D and similar compounds later became standard components in tissue culture research in the selection and development of new turfgrass cultivars through callus culture. This ‘positive' growth response of 2,4-D clarifies something that we have long known for pesticides, hormones, fertilizers etc. – concentration is very important. In Search of Compounds for Faster Growth Responses Other factors and compounds must also be considered when discussing the initial research into the possible use of these compounds. During the 1980's the first synthetic gibberellic acid (GA) compounds became available. Research by Dr. Felix Juska (1958) detailed how gibberellic acid stimulates plant growth by elongation of stems between the nodes. This was originally thought to be a miracle compound for turfgrass culture. However, by the late 1980s use of GA as a plant growth accelerator was basically terminated except for specialty uses such as pre-germinating perennial ryegrass seed for sports field surface recovery uses, a standard practice by many sports field managers still today. When delving into the reasons cited by scientists and turfgrass managers alike why GA use essentially ceased outside of seed treatments, it seemed that the general consensus was that once a dense turf was established, most managers desired that the grass grew more slowly to decrease maintenance cost! Perhaps Compounds for Slower Growth? To obtain slower turf growth, there was also a lot of interest in the 1980s in the development and testing of Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) as a component of turfgrass management, with initial compounds mostly being used on unimproved turf for radical reductions in foliar growth or seedhead development. Emphasis for fine turf management was placed on synthetic gibberellic inhibitors, such as compounds still widely used today in paclobutrazol and trinexapac-ethyl, to control foliar growth of turfgrasses and improve turfgrass density and playability. One common theme with their use that was first somewhat surprising to end users was the surge of foliar growth when the regulated turf was removed from the treatment program- a phenomenon often referred to as the “rebound stage” of growth and development. Clipping yields increased drastically during the rebound stage due to a buildup of carbohydrates and stored nitrogen in the plants that accumulated during the suppression phase. This is further evidence of response that is due to concentrations of hormones inside the plants (as well as the interactions with other compounds). I briefly mentioned before how 2,4-D is most commonly thought of as a broadleaf herbicide, but at low concentrations it can trigger very positive auxin hormone-based responses that promote cell elongation. The late biochemical pathway suppression of GA by a Class A PGR like trinexapac-ethyl revolutionized how fine turf is managed with a PGR. The main beneficial claim for using gibberellic inhibitors is the reduction of clipping yield plus the enhancement of color, increased stress tolerance and reduced nutrient requirements. Because of the short growth suppression phase, frequent retreatments are required. It is impractical to visually determine the effectiveness of the gibberellic inhibitor treatment to ascertain when retreatment is necessary. One standard method in golf turf putting green management has been golf ball roll distance; when ball roll is slowed because of faster turfgrass growth rate (as measured by an increase in clipping yield), it is a signal to re-treat. Technology and smart devices have now made it common to have PGR-treatment prediction models that combine data collected over the years with varying rates and sources of PGRs with Growing Degree Day data. This is an example of how technology is helping the turfgrass manager further refine their PGR management programs and maintain consistent ball roll speeds for their golfing public. Growth Inhibitors or Metabolic Stimulators Although classified as a PGR, naturally occurring growth regulators such as seaweed extracts and humic acid are not discussed in the same ways as gibberellic acid inhibitors. This is because the main effect of the natural growth regulators is in metabolic enhancement, and these compounds are commonly referred to as biostimulants. By this definition, some PGR'S also may be classified as biostimulants as they also influence the metabolic activity of plants. Therefore, when a material is used to influence plant growth it often is being used primarily as a PGR. When it is used to affect the metabolism of the plant, it may be referred to as a biostimulant. It has been well documented that turfgrasses under environmental stress have an internal increase at the molecular level in potentially phytotoxic oxygen species (called free radicals) within their cells. Simply put, the plant is incapable of utilizing all of the energy from the sun that it is receiving (something we generally associate with photosynthesis and think of as a “good thing” because it is leading to food production). Under conditions of excessive energy absorption, oxygen molecules accept electrons and become a highly reactive free radical form. These free radicals are capable of damaging cell membranes. Under normal conditions the plant has biochemical pathways in place to neutralize free radical formation, but under stress, the build-up of free radicals exceeds the plant's capability of quenching that excessive energy by the production of compounds called antioxidants. It has been shown that supplemental applications of biostimulants (particularly before the most extreme periods of stress arrive) can enhance the development of the antioxidant compounds that can mitigate the toxic influence of the free radicals. Whether materials are applied for growth control or development of antioxidants, environmental conditions must be considered. For example, research has shown that adequate nitrogen fertilizers in the fall and early winter (when grass foliar growth is reduced by cooling temperatures), carbohydrate reserves increase and this ultimately favors root production. However, heavy spring nitrogen fertilization stimulates foliar growth at the expense of root production and places the plant under stress, particularly if the summer months prove to be hot and dry. In Booth's 2023 article, he makes the case that applying PGR's, such as those that inhibit gibberellin production, can add to the stress associated with the summer weather. Data, however, shows these products do influence the metabolic processes that are reported to negate the effects of environmental stress. Other interacting factors that influence the action of the biostimulant are nutrient balance and/or pest activity that negates the results of the treatment. It is difficult to visually observe changes associated with PGR's and the opportunity to adjust programs is often missed. Again, one of the best (but time consuming strategies to adjust programs) is to take daily stimpmeter readings to assess ball roll and/or clipping yields to determine the level of plant growth effect of the supplemental PGR treatments. Relation Between Metabolism and Plant Growth Responses As a means to hopefully better explain some of my earliest research findings in terms of PGR/biostimulant concentrations and turfgrass response(s) (and what I have found in my literature review beyond my time as an active faculty member at Virginia Tech), I turn to findings from a scientific publication from the work done by my successor in turfgrass physiology research at Virginia Tech, Dr. Erik Ervin. Ervin at al. (2004) published a paper on the seasonal influence of biostimulants on root growth, metabolic activity, and overall shade tolerance of creeping bentgrass, an article that covers both basic and applied research findings in this area. Root development of bentgrass, as measured by physical root pulls of plugs grown under the first shade treatment sequence of 88% shade from June to 30 October 2001 (summer through early fall) was not enhanced by trinexapac ethyl, iron, or seaweed + iron treatments, but had an approximate 44% increase for treatment with a standard fungicide, propiconazole. When returned to light conditions for the next six months (November to April 2002, late fall through winter), all root pull measurements were much greater than before, with increases of 37, 41, 20, and 17%, respectively for trinexapac ethyl, propiconazole, iron, and seaweed + iron treatments compared to the untreated control. When shade was introduced again from April to November 2002 (spring to fall sequence), root strength once again declined due to the shade, but trinexapac ethyl, propiconazole (the active ingredient in a standard fungicide, shown to have hormonal-type activity in previous VT research), iron, and seaweed + iron treatments all provided root strength increases of 92, 33, 24, and 6%, respectively, as compared to the untreated control. Two factors are at play here. Root development is obviously linked to the plants producing energy in the lighted conditions. Secondly, grass roots tend to develop during the late fall/winter months when foliar growth was impeded. The bentgrass receiving the trinexapac ethyl treatments retained the most root development compared to the control when measured in Nov 2002. This indicates that the benefits of treatment that enhanced root development during the winter period when the bentgrass was exposed to light persisted. Although the treatments that had the largest root development (bentgrass treated with trinexapac- ethyl under full light in the winter, October 2001 to April 2002) because of the root growth response, they also had the largest percentage root loss the following spring and summer when grown under shade. However, in terms of absolute root numbers as determined by root strength measurements, the bentgrass receiving these treatments still had significantly better root growth than the untreated control. Metabolic Activity Now, how about metabolic activity? Two metabolic variables measured in this shade trial were photochemical efficiency (PE, a measurement of how efficiently plants are utilizing photosynthetically active radiation) and antioxidant activity (a measurement of how the plants were capable of quenching the potentially membrane-damaging energy of free radicals) by way of an increase in an energy-quenching compound, Superoxide Dismutase. PE levels under shaded conditions increased slightly for all treatments compared to the untreated control, but the values only ranged from a 2% increase for Seaweed Extract + Humic Acid to a 9% increase for trinexapac ethyl. While the dense shade drastically reduced all levels of SOD in shaded plants, the relative increases in SOD in the treated bentgrass compared to the untreated control was 39, 74, 78, and 86% greater for seaweed extract + humic acid, trinexapac ethyl, propiconazole, and FeSO4, respectively. Greater SOD levels in the plant impart improved stress tolerance to the bentgrass as it was moved from the shade to sunny conditions. Now, clearly the treatments were no replacement for growing grass in sufficient sunlight, correct? But under such extreme light deprivation, the treatments did trigger the plant's metabolic responses to improve shade tolerance. What This Might Mean for Future Objective Assessments of Overall Turfgrass Health When combining the metabolic enhancement data from the bentgrass shade investigation trial with that of the root development under altering shade and light conditions, it is evident that in general, there were positive responses to the PGR and biostimulant treatments. Determination of the antioxidant activity to ascertain turf health in “real time” is a wet laboratory process and would be impractical for the average turfgrass manager to use it to measure health of the grass. However, the remote sensing technologies that the research teams of Drs. McCall and Askew at Virginia Tech (and scientists at other universities) are evaluating, coupled with the expanding availability of these types of tools to golf course superintendents and sports field managers, and a summary/evaluation of computations possible through artificial intelligence, I think it is likely that one day soon the turf manager will be determining the PE and SOD levels etc. to assess turfgrass health both rapidly and accurately. While ball roll speed, trueness of roll, and/or clipping yields will always give the turf manager very meaningful data in terms of management decisions that affect health and playability aspects, the use of electronic tools will provide the turfgrass manager real time data to tweak the metabolic activity of the turfgrass by way of a PGR or biostimulant application. Summary Although turfgrass ecology is a science, it also very much remains an art as well. Therefore, we should always respect the observations of dedicated turfgrass professionals that pay such close attention to their grasses on a daily basis. Their judgments and measurements reflect the ideal and the extremes in environmental conditions. And their exploration with the pros and cons of PGRs and biostimulants have demonstrated the possibilities and pratfalls for how these tools can affect metabolic processes within the plant that may (or may not) promote better stress tolerance. For as much progress that has been made in this area from the time I began studying biostimulants in the 1980s, there is no doubt that there is so much more we don't know. There are an infinite number of plant hormone concentration possibilities inside plants that trigger plant responses, and with the application of the biostimulant the turfgrass manager is trying to effectively and safely manipulate that hormonal balance. Add to the equation the diversity of turfgrass species, climate, soils, pests, maintenance protocol, turfgrass use etc. and you can appreciate the challenges involved in gaining the desired plant responses. I have somewhat alluded to it, but I don't think I have completely addressed this point: when Dr. Goatley first spoke with me about developing an article about biostimulants and PGRs he made the statement that “in particular one needs to know exactly what is in their biostimulant package if they are on a PGR program”. I agree and it's a reminder that carefully reading and following the label is no different than for a pesticide. For instance, if a turfgrass manager is on a trinexapac-ethyl regulation program and is simultaneously applying a biostimulant that contains GA, their growth regulation is very likely being affected since they are applying the antidote to the PGR activity. There always will be research that needs to be conducted in this area, and I am pleased that the lab of Dr. Xunzhong Zhang at Virginia Tech continues to expand knowledge in this area. Dr. Zhang has published research showing that turfgrass stresses such as drought, salinity, temperature, exposure to UV light, and shade can be reduced by elevating plant antioxidant levels by way of biostimulant applications. Biostimulants are not and will never be replacements for sound management strategies, but they are tools that when applied at the right time and concentration can enhance stress tolerance and improve the health and performance of your turfgrass system.

To a significant degree, Bible teaching consists of a perspective or opinion ... a point of view. You've probably noticed the seemingly infinite number of those different theories and expressions. Many times, one well-known church or pastor can express the polar opposite of another prominent—if not trendy—minister with a popular following. It becomes an academic or philosophical debate about things that are only spiritually discerned. The viewpoints can often be traced back to narratives that were handed down from previous ideologies by those who came before us. When the narrative is embraced as the ultimate truth, it becomes the mission to fit the concepts into the boundaries of that narrative. It can also be the result of interpretation without context. Combining the old and new covenants may also be a contributing factor. Church groupies wander all over, looking for someone they can trust to give them answers and interpret the Bible for them. Not everyone can be right, right? It can leave so many in a state of confusion. In this day of instant social media, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all of it when trying to get answers. And for those who have encountered the gospel of grace and been freed from many burdensome and misguided doctrines with the help of God's Spirit ... how can we possibly begin to have a positive impact on so many others who are trapped in a system that touts various forms of legalism and religious bondage? Here's a hint: It doesn't start by trying to convince them to think like you do.

July 6th, at the northwestern tip of Horn Island, a body washes ashore face down in the water. It's the body of a missing 18-year-old, college football player Nolan Wells who disappeared after taking a boat with friends to celebrate the Fourth of July. Since then, there have been more questions than answers. Witnesses share vastly different accounts of what happened on the island with Nolan. Some of his friends shut down their social media, some opt to do interviews, and some quietly post tributes on Instagram. But Nolan Wells' loved ones are still looking for answers that investigators aren't providing… Were there things on his phone that were deleted from the day he went missing? If he stayed behind on the island, why didn't he have his phone or keys with him? And what's with this circulating audio that netizens swear they can hear people shouting, ‘Nolan's freaking dead!'

Drop us a line or two . . .The episode kicks off with Queenie sharing a genuinely sweet midweek adventure: she took two of her assignee's kids — a 17-year-old and a 13-year-old — to the Cheesecake Factory while their parents were opening a bank account. The older one was laser-focused on driving regulations and motorcycle licenses (Queenie admirably held her tongue on the motorcycle safety speech). The younger one? Entirely concerned with what time school starts and what's for breakfast. Kids, man. Dad, who's been in the country solo for five months waiting for his family to arrive, looked — her words — so happy and so relieved. It's a quietly moving little story buried in a Tuesday errand.Then it's time for the cannabis check-in. TT has consumed — a Flora Cal Farms gummy, working through her stash while counting down the days to her Massachusetts trip and a restock. Queenie jumps on that segue to mention there's a governor's race heating up, with one candidate planning to fund state needs through cannabis revenue — you know, the things the federal government has apparently decided are optional. Before anyone can get too excited, Queenie drops a bombshell: Massachusetts may have a ballot initiative this November to *repeal* recreational cannabis legalization. Not scale back, not adjust — repeal. The culprit being cited for upticks in youth cannabis use? Largely unregulated hemp-derived products sold at gas stations, not licensed dispensaries — which, it should be noted, run tighter ID checks than New York. Opponents want to return to a decriminalized-but-not-legal framework. The ladies are bewildered but not surprised. Meanwhile, California's state fair just made cannabis its biggest attraction ever, complete with consumption areas. Conflicting signals, as always.The research corner delivers something genuinely hopeful: a phase-two London trial involving 120 dementia patients found that nearly 90% receiving THC and CBD showed significantly reduced agitation over twelve weeks, compared to typical anti-agitation medications. For anyone who has watched a family member with advanced dementia deteriorate — or watched a caregiver reach their absolute limit — this lands. Queenie notes that agitation is often the tipping point when families say they can't do it anymore. No serious safety issues were reported. Caveats noted (not peer-reviewed, not a first-line therapy, professional supervision required), but the hope is real and both hosts feel it.The "Wait, What?" segment this week is actually a delight: French Sundays. The concept, apparently trending, is simply treating Sunday as the French traditionally do — a full day of rest, family, and absolutely nothing productive. No errands, no scheduled activities, just slow and still. Queenie and Queenie both immediately recognize it as childhood. Before stores were open seven days, before travel sports, before the internet had opinions about your productivity — Sunday was just *off*. The deeper point: you have to be able to do it guilt-free. Not white-knuckling your way through a nap while mentally listing everything you're ignoring. Just... being. Self-hibernation, as Queenie puts it. The episode later ends with TT performing an original French Sundays poem — wine at noon, bread, cheese, no apologies — and it's genuinely lovely.TT's Choice lands on number 23: hot flashes forever vs. night sweats forever. Neither is good. TT picks night sweats immediately — at least you're not performing a personal inferno for a live audience. Queenie agrees, recounting watching a woman her age just *become a furnace* mid-conversation. The solidarity is real. Queenie also admits she still gets the occasional night sweat — that sudden wash of heat moving through your body and then, yes, the cooling bamboo sheets she invested in are now cold and wet. They work. They do not work *enough.* The furnace wins. Another item for the list.Speaking of lists — the Fuck It List delivers this week, and it's a genuine victory lap. The mystery of the missing keys (lost eleven times, found in the bra, the freezer, the planter by the stairs, the coat pockets) has been solved. Queenie zip-tied the key ring directly to the purse. The purse never leaves her mother's side. The lanyard is long enough that she doesn't have to lift the entire purse to unlock a door. No tech, no app, no smart lock — just a six-inch zip tie and the accumulated frustration of a devoted, exhausted daughter who finally said *fuck it* and handled it. She felt triumphant. She deserved to.The episode closes with travel energy — TT and her partner are packing for the Cape, with TT's approach being "throw things on the bed and hope for the best" versus her partner's meticulous shirt count. A suitcase mostly of new underpants is involved. Brynn (daughter) has passed her unofficial puppy audition after successfully dog-sitting, and the puppy in question is growing fast and already doing a 30-second sit-stay before dinner. The pig update is, as always, essential: Bartholomew the 180-pound pet pig demands exactly three Cheerios after using the litter box, has claimed the couch permanently, and once hid himself entirely under a mountain of blankets — invisible, enormous, content. His unofficial co-owner would apparently not contest sole custody. The pig whisperer of the situation? Linda. Alan will not go near it.Next episode, TT will be seaside. Queenie will be counting the days. Everyone is encouraged to try a French Sunday.---## SHORT SUMMARYQueenie meets her assignee's kids over Cheesecake Factory excess, TT works through her cannabis stash while Massachusetts considers *repealing* recreational legalization, and a London dementia study offers real hope about THC and CBD for agitation. Also: night sweats vs. hot flashes, the triumphant zip-tie solution to a lost-key saga, a 180-pound pig who demands three Cheerios post-litter-box, and a pitch for guilt-free French Sundays — complete with an original poem.---## TOP 5 PULL QUOTES**Queenie:** "I understand people who are concerned about heroin and drug use — that ruins your life. But come on, this is pot we're talking about. Not only is it not harmful in most cases when it's used judiciously, it's helpful to people. It's helpful to so many people."**TT:** "I'd have to pick night sweats, even though I still get them sometimes, because at least you're not in public — you're not flaring up and having people stare at you going, 'Dear, are you okay?'"**Queenie:** "Bring the zip ties, bring ingenuity, bring a solution born of love — and zip tie the key to the purse, the purse she never puts down."**TT:** "You have to be able to do it guilt-free. Not sit there thinking, 'God, I should be doing this, I'm just lazy, what is wrong with me?' Because sometimes that's what you need to do."**TT (French Sundays poem):** "No guilt, no hustle, no excuses. Just bread and cheese and no apologies. The French pour the wine at noon and stay there, and nothing productive is missed."---## EPISODE VIBEThis one is warm and a little weary in the best possible way — the kind of episode that feels like a long phone call with someone who gets it. There's genuine tenderness in the stories (a relieved dad reunited with his family after five months, a daughter zip-tying keys to her mother's purse with quiet, determined love), real anger at the absurdity of the cannabis policy landscape, and actual hope in the dementia research. The humor is lived-in rather than performed — night sweat solidarity, a pig who has claimed the couch and everyone just accepts it, a suitcase of underpants as legitimate travel strategy. French Sundays gives it a closing exhale, a collective permission slip to just stop for a minute. It's an episode that earns its wry tone because underneath it, these two are clearly paying attention to the world and to each other.

Victoria Cushman was just 29 years old when she was found murdered inside her Warwick, Rhode Island apartment, just steps from the sporting goods store where she worked. For years, her family waited for answers and eventually, the case seemed to have them: a suspect known to the case from day one, who investigators said had motive to end Vickie's life. The evidence was circumstantial, but it was compelling. A secret relationship. Conflicting statements. A timeline that seemed to close in around one man. To a jury, the pieces fit. But fitting isn't the same as true. Years later, the story everyone thought they trusted cracked wide open.

There's a new drama on Binge that's already got everyone talking, and the cast list alone is worth the watch — Jennifer Garner, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, Judy Greer, Timothy Olyphant and a scene-stealing Chloë Sevigny. Based on a beloved bestseller, it follows a grieving food blogger who gathers a friend from every era of her life for one weekend on the island. And we can't stop thinking about the Netflix true crime doc that's genuinely one of the best we've seen. It opens with an idyllic Californian couple, some terrifying anonymous emails and a Craigslist twist too disturbing to spoil — then keeps flipping. Conflicting accounts, lying witnesses, evidence that changes everything: you won't know what to think until the very end.Plus a soapy, sexy small-town Texas romance is back on Netflix for season two — basically Yellowstone's fun cousin, led by two faces you've loved for years.

Is $120,000 in the bank too much? And is working with two financial advisors better than relying on one? Those choices may feel cautious, but caution can still come with a cost. In the 300th episode, David answers two listener questions about idle cash, competing advice, and the hidden complexity that can build when your financial strategy is split in different directions. More money sitting is not always safer. And more advisors do not always mean better advice. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:
In this conversation, Lee sits down with two of Unleashing Leaders' top change agents, Skye Connors and Emily LaPorta, to tackle a problem every high performer eventually hits: too many priorities, not enough hours. Skye and Emily built UL's internal SOP for handling conflicting task requests and walk through how it works, from the physical warning signs of overload to the tiebreakers that step in when two tasks conflict. Feeling overloaded usually means you're trusted with more, not that you're falling short. Lee, Skye, and Emily break down the prioritization shortcuts that quietly wreck teams: First in, first out. Last in, first out. Whoever screams the loudest. And the fallback of declaring "everything is priority one," which just pushes the decision onto your team, leaving them to default to whatever's easiest. What UL actually uses instead is a framework that sorts commitments by required, desired, and optional, weighs critical path and impact, and falls back on real tiebreakers, like prior commitment and relative priority, when everything else ties. Emily closes with a reminder that this gets easier with practice: "Am I required?" and "What is the impact?" stop needing a checklist and become instinct.

Notice the physical tell (tight chest, racing heart) before it drives a bad decision. First in, first out, last in, first out, and "whoever screams loudest" all fail as standalone strategies. Declaring everything priority one pushes the decision to your team, and they'll default to whatever seems easiest, leaving the hard stuff undone. Sort every ask into required, desired, or optional before you commit to it. When priorities truly tie, fall back on real tiebreakers like prior commitment and relative project priority. With practice, questions like "Am I required?" and "What is the impact?" stop needing a checklist and become instinct.

For decades the reassuring story about tattoos was that the ink stays put: a permanent mark, sealed in the skin, chemically done with your body. It isn't. Pigment migrates out of the skin and lodges in your lymph nodes, carrying the carcinogens it came with, and it stays there for the rest of your life. That's not in dispute. What is in dispute is whether any of it actually causes cancer, and in 2024 and 2025 several teams finally ran the studies. They came back contradicting each other, one country finds tattoos raise melanoma risk, another finds the opposite, and the strongest study designs find nothing at all. So what does the evidence actually show, where's the real risk, and who's regulating what goes into the bottle?0:28 The stained node no one could explain2:01 What's actually in tattoo ink3:28 The body's immune response to ink7:23 Ink and vaccine response8:42 Where the ink migrates to12:30 Tattoos and cancer risk14:44 Conflicting skin cancer data16:03 A confounding factor in the data17:27 The risk of laser removal19:32 How tattoo ink is regulated23:35 Practical takeaways
The significant difficulty in measuring artificial intelligence's current influence on the labor market and broader economy. Experts observe that conflicting data sources present a muddled picture, with some reports suggesting that technology is eliminating roles while others indicate it is generating new employment. This lack of clarity is largely attributed to outdated economic metrics that struggle to track rapid technological shifts in real time. Because policymakers and business leaders face immense pressure to act before definitive statistics are available, there is a growing call to modernize data infrastructure. Ultimately, the text suggests that while AI is undeniably reshaping financial landscapes, the lack of standardized tracking makes it nearly impossible to determine the precise scale of its impact.
Conflicting traditions existed regarding Rav's ruling in the case of a dislocated femur in a bird. Ultimately, the analysis indicates that Rav permitted such a bird, except in regions where the prevailing custom was to forbid it. However, after presenting various differing opinions regarding this issue, which leaned primarily toward permissibility, the Gemara brings an incident demonstrating that the widespread, accepted custom was indeed to forbid this condition; consequently, the practical halakha is established to be stringent in accordance with this accepted communal custom. Rav Huna defines a treifa as an animal that cannot survive for more than twelve months. A contradiction is raised against this definition from a braita that brings three alternative opinions regarding what legally constitutes a treifa, none of which align with Rav Huna's position. This difficulty is resolved by explaining that Rav Huna follows a different Tanna, whose view is reflected in another braita stating that one must wait through the winter months to determine whether an animal can successfully recover from its specific ailment.

You and your partner love your kids. So why does it sometimes feel like you're parenting in completely different worlds? In this listener-favorite episode from the Good Inside archives, Dr. Becky talks with a mom named Carmella who feels stuck between two parenting styles: she's the one holding the routines and boundaries, while her husband tends to be more flexible in the moment. The result? More conflict, more emotional labor, and a growing sense that she's carrying the weight of consistency alone. Together, they unpack what kids actually need when parents approach things differently, how to talk about parenting without turning your partner into the enemy, and why being "on the same page" doesn't mean becoming the same parent. Because parenting was never meant to be carried by one person. With Family Plans, annual Good Inside members can now invite a coparent or caregiver into their account - so you're building from the same foundation, sharing the same language, and supporting your family together.

Serhii Plokhy describes how on October 26-27, Khrushchev sent conflicting messages: a private letter offering a non-invasion pledge and a public demand to remove U.S. Jupiters in Turkey. This caused chaos in the White House, with officials fearing Khrushchev had been ousted by his military. Kennedy believed a missile swap was the only logical solution but could not agree publicly without undermining NATO credibility. Khrushchev's failure to consult Fidel Castro on these terms sowed deep resentment, creating a secondary crisis between the Soviet Union and its Cuban ally. (6)1956
