In episode 94 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast Chloe and Keshia chat with comedy gal Lisa Spencer. We have a lively and thought-provoking conversation about the power of comedy to tackle controversial and complex issues. We explore how humor helps us cope with difficult topics, challenge societal norms, and spark meaningful conversations. This discussion dives into the process of creating parodies and how research plays a key role in making comedy both clever and relatable. This conversation also turns to the rise of platforms like OnlyFans, looking at the reality behind its business model. We break down the financial pressures creators face, the escalating nature of explicit content, and the long-term impact of sharing personal material online. Reflecting on how social media shapes choices, the importance of accountability, and how society responds to offense and criticism. Another highlight of the episode is the recent wombat controversy, which opens up a broader discussion about animal rights, cultural awareness, and the way comedy can be used to approach serious topics. Lisa shares her personal journey into stand-up comedy, and the hosts talk about how performing and even failing on stage offers a space for growth and exploration. Through it all, our conversation weaves together themes of humor, media influence, public outrage, and the divide between urban and rural perspectives. At its core, this episode is about the importance of laughter, the courage to speak honestly, and the power of comedy to open up hard conversations in a world full of noise.   Please do yourself a favour and follow Lisa for comedy gold @lisajanespencer    Loved what you heard in this episode?

A contentious conversation with State Senator John Keenan over his "Bettor Health" bill

The contentious relationship between Twin Cities restaurants and employee unions is once again making headlines. Minneapolis restaurant business mogul Daniel del Prado's DDP Restaurant Group announced that the four Café Cerés locations will close this month. In a statement, DDP Restaurant Group said they are closing the Café Cerés locations to focus on their other restaurants, which include fine dining restaurants Martina, Colita and Porzana. “While we are proud of what we accomplished in the café space, it is clear that the DDP Restaurant Group's future lies in what we do best — creating and operating amazing, and highly successful, restaurants by delivering exceptional hospitality, crafting unforgettable dining experiences, and leading chef-driven food and beverage programs,” the statement said in part. Last August, baristas at Café Cerés voted to unionize under hospitality union UNITE HERE Local 17. Employees were in the first few months of contract negotiations with DDP Restaurant Group when the closure was announced last week.  “Heads of restaurant empires like Daniel del Prado would rather close shop than give a fair share to the workers who make them rich,” a spokesperson for the union said in a statement. A similar situation happened last year at chef Ann Kim's Uptown restaurant called Kim's. Kim's workers voted to unionize and within two months the restaurant closed, citing “financial losses.” Adam Platt, the executive editor of the magazine Twin Cities Business, joined Minnesota Now to break down what he thinks is happening in Twin Cities restaurants.

In the first few months of the second Trump administration, the White House in effect declared war on the nation's colleges and universities, and particularly the most selective and prestigious among them. Vice President JD Vance had famously declared in 2021 that “the universities are the enemy,” but conservative antipathy against higher education for its alleged role as the breeding ground of progressive ideology goes back at least to the 1960s. In that turbulent decade, the universities became entangled in national debates over the Vietnam war, the civil rights movement, and the counterculture. The present-day controversies over political activism on college and university campuses echo the debates of the 1960s in important ways.Neil L. Rudenstine has been a key observer and participant in the shaping of American higher education since the 1960s. He served as President of Harvard University from 1991 to 2001, after decades of teaching and administrative experience that included service as Dean of Students, Dean of the College, and Provost at Princeton University. His career in academic administration began by chance in the fall of 1967, when as a junior professor of English at Harvard he came across a left-wing student group “imprisoning” a recruiter from the Dow Chemical Company in protest against the company's complicity in the Vietnam war. His intervention was credited with helping to bring the protest to a peaceful resolution, and led to his involvement as an academic administrator in later campus debates over subjects including identity politics, climate change, and America's global role. In his new memoir, Our Contentious Universities: A Personal History, Rudenstine draws upon his experiences to explain why universities have become increasingly fractious institutions and why they have come to be at the center of the country's culture wars. In this podcast interview, the former Harvard president discusses the sources of student and faculty radicalization in the 1960s, the parallels between the ‘60s campus protests and those of today, and the financial and institutional difficulties that beset many of the country's leading universities. He suggests ways that the universities can respond to the political attacks against them from the Republican Party, and also how they can attempt to restore public trust and better serve the needs of the nation and the world.

#591: Imagine you're about to ask your boss for a raise. Your stomach tightens. You've rehearsed what to say, but doubt creeps in. Should you be more assertive? More understanding of company constraints? Bob Bordone, who has taught negotiation for 25 years including 21 years at Harvard Law School, joins us to explain why you don't have to choose between empathy and assertiveness. In fact, combining them is key to successful negotiations. "It might feel like a tension, but it's not an actual one," Bordone explains. "I can fully appreciate what you're feeling without ever giving anything up in a negotiation." Bordone breaks down his three-part preparation framework: Mirror work: Identify the different sides of yourself in a negotiation — the empathic side that understands company constraints, the assertive side that knows you deserve recognition, and perhaps an anxious side worried about finances. Chair work: Give each side a voice through role-playing exercises, literally sitting in different chairs to embody each perspective. Table work: Bring these voices into the actual negotiation in an authentic way that doesn't make the other person feel attacked. He also introduces fascinating concepts like "conflict recognition" — how quickly we perceive something as a conflict — and "conflict holding" — our comfort with leaving conflicts unresolved. These differences often cause relationship problems when we're unaware of them. "My best friend and I might debate over Flaming Hot Cheetos for 25 minutes. For me, with high conflict recognition, it's completely fun. I go home and sleep like a baby," Bordone says. "For someone with low conflict recognition, they might think, 'That was horrible. Did I hurt the relationship?'" When someone tries to shut down your request with policy ("that's just how we do things here"), Bordone recommends what he calls the "Wizard of Oz tactic" — asking a few more questions rather than immediately accepting defeat. The skills you develop asking for a raise transfer to other challenging conversations — from family inheritance discussions to political disagreements with colleagues. Bordone emphasizes that conflict isn't something to avoid but rather a normal part of relationships. The question isn't whether we'll have conflict, but how we handle it when it inevitably arrives.

Jason DeRusha joins the show for the regular Thursday chat and he and Chad end up getting deep into a debate about parking etiquette and if it's OK to back into a spot while other people are waiting.

In December 2024, attorney Tony Buzbee filed a civil lawsuit on behalf of an anonymous plaintiff, alleging that Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter and Sean "Diddy" Combs sexually assaulted her when she was 13 years old at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards afterparty. Jay-Z vehemently denied the allegations, describing them as a blackmail attempt and expressing concern over the emotional toll on his family. He criticized the lawsuit's timing, noting it coincided with his daughter Blue Ivy's "The Lion King" premiere, which he believed was a strategic move to pressure him. Jay-Z's legal team filed motions to dismiss the case and sought sanctions against Buzbee, arguing the claims were baseless and damaging.The legal battle intensified as both parties exchanged public statements and legal filings. Jay-Z accused Buzbee of extortion and defamation, while Buzbee alleged that Jay-Z's representatives engaged in harassment and intimidation tactics. Despite the heated exchanges, on February 14, 2025, Buzbee voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, preventing future litigation on the same claims. Jay-Z welcomed the dismissal, emphasizing the unfounded nature of the allegations and the significant personal and financial harm they caused, including the loss of $20 million in contracts. He also highlighted the lack of repercussions for Buzbee, criticizing a system that allows such damaging claims to be made without accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Germany's parliament descended into heckles and recriminations as politicians from the right-wing Christian Democrats were accused of undermining the “firewall” against co-operation with the far-right Alternative for Germany. The CDU tabled a non-binding motion calling for toughter border and asylum rules after a spate of stabbings linked to foreign nationals in the country. The motion passed with the support of the AfD, prompting German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to slam the move as an “unforgivable mistake”.As the government puts its weight behind a third runway at Heathrow, as well as expansion of other UK airports, we ask whether the ambition contradicts its climate commitments.And as the fourth instalment of Bridget Jones premieres in London, why is the character's appeal so enduring?

In this episode, we interview two students with vastly differing opinions on the Israel-Palestine conflict. With little commentary from our staff, the podcast's aim with this episode was simply to amplify student voices and address what is undoubtedly the most contentious ongoing conflict in geopolitics.

“You have not earned your place as Secretary of Defense. You, sir, are a no-go at this station,” Senator Tammy Duckworth said during the confirmation hearing of Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary. Duckworth challenged Hegseth on his qualifications in a series of pointed exchanges. At one point, Duckworth asked Hegseth about the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). “And how many nations are in ASEAN, by the way?” she asked. “I couldn't tell you the exact amount of nations in that,” Hegseth replied. “But I know we have allies in South Korea, in Japan, and in AUKUS with Australia, and trying to work on submarines with them.” Duckworth responded sharply, “Mr. Hegseth, none of those countries are in ASEAN.” She also pressed him on his ability to oversee budget audits, highlighting his lack of experience. “I will take that as a no,” Duckworth said. “What were the findings? So there were no findings, because you've never led an audit. What guidance did you give the auditors? None, because you've never led an audit.” During the Senate Armed Forces Committee hearing, lawmakers questioned Hegseth's opposition to women in combat, his stance against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and allegations of excessive drinking and sexual misconduct.

The Seattle City Council is starting its year by taking on one of any city’s most controversial policy debates: growth. The Comprehensive Plan is now in front of the council. It dictates where and how Seattle can grow over the next two decades. Past comprehensive plans have concentrated growth in areas dubbed “Urban Villages” – places along major arterials, like Columbia City, Othello, Lake City, and Ballard. They largely kept neighborhoods with single family homes unchanged. The current plan continues that legacy, but allows for more density in around 30 newly designated “neighborhood centers.” This comes as Seattle continues efforts to comply with a state law that mandates denser single family zoning.

The English noun gospel comes from the Anglo-Saxon term godspell, meaning "glad tidings." It is translated from the Greek evangelion, which means "good message." Originally, the word was related to news of military triumph. –https://www.gotquestions.org/gospel-good-news.htmlWhile mainstream Christianity has a relatively narrow definition or view of the Good News, e.g., limited to the New Testament and only relating to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a broader, more scriptural perspective exists that is less taught, if taught at all.Didn't the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others preach good news? What was their good news about?If the Good News is only about the death, burial, and resurrection of Messiah Yeshua, why did He teach and preach about it? What did He say is the Good News?Is the Good News about the Messiah, or is it of the Messiah?As is his usual practice, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings a more profound understanding to this topic by allowing scripture to define itself just as he has done in his other teachings.• Opener• 1 Corinthians 4:15 – Brought forth through the Good News• This division • 1 Corinthians 4:1 – Servants & Trustees of the secrets• 1 Corinthians 4:2-5 – Judging vs. judgment• 1 Corinthians 4:5 – The heart thinks for itself?• Take every thought captive?• Real leadership is coming• Nobody's perfect• 1 Corinthians 4:6-7 – Rebellious and puffed up?• 1 Corinthians 4:8 – You think you're a king?• 1 Corinthians 4:9-14 – You wanna trade places?• 1 Corinthians 4:15-16 – Yet, not many fathers• Contentious issues Listen to the Afterburn tomorrowSubscribe to take advantage of new content every week.To learn more about MTOI, visit our website, https://mtoi.org.https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide You can contact MTOI by emailing us at admin@mtoi.org or calling 423-250-3020. Join us for Shabbat Services and Torah Study LIVE, streamed on our website, mtoi.org, YouTube, and Rumble every Saturday at 1:15 p.m. and every Friday for Torah Study Live Stream at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time.

We encourage respectful debate. It has an ability to pull different POVs, expertise, and beliefs - and that can be a great thing for your business. BUT, there's an art to it. You can disagree without being contentious by taking responsibility for your current set of beliefs and assumptions, knowing when you are being objective or subjective, not letting it get personal, and defining and consistently reinforcing the common goal. Let's dive into the art of respectful debate. And as always, if you need Strategic Counsel, don't hesitate to reach out to us at: ForthRight-People.com.

Negotiators at the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP29, agreed on wealthy nations providing up to $300 billion a year to help poorer countries deal with the effects of climate change. We discuss the deal falling short of the $1.3 trillion poorer countries asked for. Then, we talk about how Tesla’s pollution violations could weaken the company’s eco-friendly image. And, we look at the costly Arizona program heralded by school choice advocates as a taxpayer-supported way to opt out of public schools. Plus, U.S. farm groups are preparing for possible mass deportations under the incoming Trump administration. Finally, we’ll smile at an A.I.-generated granny as an unlikely hero to combat phone scams. Here’s everything we talked about today: “As Musk Assumes Deregulation Role, Tesla Racks Up Pollution Violations” from The Wall Street Journal “Developing nations blast $300 billion COP29 climate deal as insufficient” from Reuters “No-Limit Vouchers Are Blowing Up Arizona's Budget. This Woman Is Leading the Way”  from Politico “US farm groups want Trump to spare their workers from deportation” from Reuters “An A.I. Granny Is Phone Scammers' Worst Nightmare” from The New York Times “Giving thanks may make your brain more altruistic” from Vox “The Case for Being Ungrateful” from The Wall Street Journal We love to hear from you.
