In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coaches Justin and Amanda discuss the recent controversy surrounding trans athlete Jamie Booker in the strongman competition. They explore the implications of biological differences in strength sports, the role of hormones, and the impact of performance-enhancing drugs. The conversation also delves into the integrity of competitions, the future of women's categories, and theological perspectives on gender identity. The hosts emphasize the importance of navigating conversations on gender with truth and love, while also addressing the destructive nature of living in sin.   Takeaways Jamie Booker won the women's strongman title but was later disqualified. Biological differences between men and women significantly impact strength sports. Estrogen does not cause muscle wasting as commonly believed. The integrity of competitions is crucial for fair play. Future regulations may require chromosome testing for female competitors. Theological perspectives suggest that God created male and female intentionally. Living in sin can lead to destructive outcomes for individuals. Navigating gender identity conversations requires sensitivity and truth. Social environments can influence personal beliefs and identities. It's important to seek spiritual guidance rather than affirmation from social media.

Are you ready to dive deep into the archives of rock 'n' roll history with me? On this week's episode of The Struts Life, I'm bringing back the fan-favorite WAPS for a no-holds-barred dissection of the fifty—yes, fifty!—bands that have dared to open for The Struts over the last decade. We aren't just reading a list; we are decoding the secret formula of what actually makes a killer opening act capable of matching Luke Spiller's electric energy, and dropping some seriously hot takes on who brought the thunder and who just brought the noise. From the chaotic genius of Starcrawler to the infectious vibes of Des Rocs, and a few controversial opinions that might just divide the Strutters community (we're looking at you, Purple Rain haters), we are covering it all. Plus, we're placing our bets on the absolute dream lineup for a hypothetical 2026 tour—did your favorite underground band make our cut, or did we leave them in the dust?

Ross Wesley LeBaron played the role of eccentric prophet. The second oldest son of patriarch Alma Dayer LeBaron Sr., carved a distinct path in Utah. Ross founded the Church of the Firstborn. His teachings presented a unique fundamentalist cosmology focused on distributing sacred authority rather than concentrating it, emphasizing that “the honor is in the work, not the title.” https://youtu.be/fHYDKiaoZ5o Don't miss our other conversations with Jacob: https://gospeltangents.com/people/jacob-vidrine Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission Authority Above the Church: Dissemination vs. Concentration Ross LeBaron’s theology centered on the concept of a higher order of priesthood existing “above the [LDS] Church” structure. This authority, which he called the Patriarchal Priesthood, originated with the keys restored by Moses, Elias, and Elijah in the Kirtland Temple (D&C 110). This higher priesthood manifested in the Nauvoo period as the authority to make men “kings and priests” (and women “queens and priestesses”), often referred to as the fullness of the priesthood. Ross taught that this authority should be widely distributed among worthy men, acting as a check and balance against unrighteous leadership. He contrasted this view sharply with the prevailing fundamentalist models (like the Woolley line, which later split into FLDS and AUB) that focused on concentrating supreme authority either in a single presiding figure (the “one man rule”) or a small “Council of Seven”. Ross felt the stability of the priesthood lay in this dissemination of authority, allowing many men to hold the highest keys for their own families. Ross LeBaron’s Priesthood Claim Ross’s authority traced back to his grandfather, Benjamin F. Johnson, a close confidant of Joseph Smith and the last living original member of the Council of Fifty. Johnson claimed that Joseph Smith had authorized him to teach the principles of plural marriage, endowments, garments, and the Second Anointing “when I’m led to do so”. This unique claim bypassed Ross’s father (Benjamin Franklin LeBaron) and passed to his grandfather, Alma Dayer LeBaron Sr. (“Dayer”.) Ross received a patriarchal blessing and the “keys, rights, and authority of the patriarchal order of priesthood” from his father, Dayer, in 1950. Although Dayer died without naming a clear successor, leaving behind a succession crisis, Ross eventually received a revelation confirming that the patriarchal priesthood he held was the fullness of the Melchizedek Priesthood. He subsequently concluded that, as Joseph Smith’s birthright, he was the “one anointed and appointed” referenced in D&C 132:73. Eccentric Prophet's Ministry &  the Second Anointing Ross’s ministry in Utah often relied on eccentric methods to gain public notice. He spent over 20 years on radio shows (like KSXX) attempting to be controversial or “silly” (clowning around) to draw attention before sharing his message, mirroring unusual methods sometimes used by Old Testament prophets. A crucial element of Ross’s authority was the belief that the patriarchal keys authorized him to perform temple ordinances, including the Second Anointing. Reviving the Second Anointing: Ross and his early follower, Robert Eaby (a former scribe for the AUB Council and participant in Musser’s School of the Prophets), became pioneers in researching and restoring the Second Anointing outside of the LDS Church. Robert Eaby, who had learned about the ordinance through connections to early prayer circles, was able to assist in administering the endowments and then the Second Anointing, making them the first fundamentalists known to perform the ordinance (circa 1967/1968). Historical Context: This revival occurred during a period when the ordinance was largely discontinued within the mainstream LDS Church, having been generally halted by Heber J. Grant in the late 1920s and not widely performed again until it was revived by Spencer W. Kimball in the 1970s. Ross also stressed individual accountability and agency. When a follower sought revelatory guidance from him regarding a major life decision, Ross challenged him: “Why are you afraid of taking responsibility for yourself? Don’t your knees work? Go to God yourself and get revelation for yourself.” This focus on the individual patriarch holding authority for their own family underscored Ross’s belief that while leaders were fallible, the highest order of priesthood could and should be accessed by all worthy individuals.

Since writing about inflammation in Eat to Beat Illness and my last book Healthy High Protein, I've become fascinated by how this one process connects so many of the health issues I've seen in thousands of patients over my career.On the one hand, inflammation is brilliant, it helps us fight infections, repair injuries, and clear out damaged or cancerous cells. But when it doesn't switch off or is constantly triggered, it becomes a slow burn in the background, driving heart disease, cancer, dementia, and even daily struggles like joint pain, gut problems, poor sleep, skin issues, and fatigue.The good news? Food gives us a direct way to influence it. Every time we sit down to eat, we can either fan the flames or gently cool them.In this episode, we explore:

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric dive into breaking sports media news: ESPN and Penn Entertainment unwinding their $2 billion, 10-year ESPN Bet partnership just two years after launch and pivoting into a new multi-year deal with DraftKings. They unpack what this says about ESPN's fading dominance, DraftKings' position as the default sportsbook brand, and how Barstool founder Dave Portnoy continues to land on his feet after Penn sold Barstool back to him and rebranded to ESPN Bet. Along the way, they draw parallels to Disney's evolving “family-friendly” branding strategy, the broader shift from legacy TV to social-first sports media, and why product quality and user behavior matter more than just a big name.​​ On this episode we talk about: The stunning early termination of the ESPN–Penn Entertainment $2B, 10-year ESPN Bet deal, effective December 1, 2025, after ESPN Bet failed to crack meaningful market share.​ Why ESPN Bet reportedly struggled to get above ~5% market share and never hit “top three” sportsbook status despite ESPN's massive brand and distribution.​ Penn's prior Barstool Sports era, regulatory pushback tied to Portnoy's persona, and how Penn sold Barstool back to Dave Portnoy as it pivoted to the ESPN Bet rebrand.​​ Portnoy's reaction on his own show, why he thinks time will tell if this is a good move for DraftKings, and his hint that Disney CEO Bob Iger made unflattering comments about Barstool behind the scenes.​ How Disney's move from “no R-rated content” on Disney+ to hosting edgier, R-rated films via the Hulu integration shows a slow but real shift away from a strictly squeaky-clean image.​ Why even a giant like ESPN can't just slap its logo on a product and win—especially when users already love DraftKings and other established betting apps.​ The rise of social-native sports brands like House of Highlights and Barstool Sports, and how short-form content has replaced traditional SportsCenter viewing for many fans.​​ Jake Paul's “Betr” (Better) and other creator-led betting and media plays, and how having the ear of younger fans changes the balance of power in sports media.​ Why product quality, UX, and habit lock-in often beat legacy branding, even when legacy outlets still dominate live rights and TV distribution.​ A quick detour into the best sports movies of all time—Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, Warrior, Rocky, Moneyball, and more—and what they reveal about the nostalgia we still attach to sports storytelling. Top 3 Takeaways Big legacy brands like ESPN and Disney can no longer rely on their name alone; in crowded categories like sports betting, sticky products and fan-favorite platforms like DraftKings are extremely hard to displace.​ Controversial personalities like Dave Portnoy can create regulatory and brand headaches, but they also build cult followings and resilient IP—Barstool's rebound and Portnoy's “$1 buyback” remain a masterclass in leverage.​​ The future of sports attention is social-first and creator-driven: fans increasingly get their highlights, hot takes, and sometimes even betting cues from digital-native brands rather than traditional TV networks.​​

“Sol's books should be study materials in all institutions. Until chapter 9, in my opinion, the reader experiences agony, a freezing cold dip meant to shake the deepest beliefs about this ‘dreamscape.' Then, with the next chapters, comes ecstasy with a sense of hope that can physically expand your heart. The rollercoaster continues with a crash of your anxieties when your mind tries to foresee a future without all the compliances and societal constraints and there's agony again. But, skillfully, Sol … guides you at the end of the book toward a fresh breath of a vision offering rich means … to lucidly and happily thrive. THE WORLD CULT & YOU is a guide to revisit multiple times as you put it into practice and as it penetrates your ‘innerstanding.'” —Ada C.READ IT: https://solluckman.substack.com/p/read-sol-luckmans-new-book-the-worldLISTEN TO IT: https://solluckman.substack.com/p/the-full-exclusive-documentary-audiobook

In a Paris hospital delivery room, Thomas Chatterton Williams, writer for The Atlantic and author of Self-Portrait in Black and White, held his newborn daughter for the first time. Blonde hair. Blue eyes. And in that instant, everything he thought he knew about race shattered.Thomas lives the questions about race and identity that most of us only debate.
