Josh Pate of the Josh Pate College Football Show joins The Next Round live from SEC Media Days in Tampa to break down the biggest storylines surrounding the SEC and the 2026 college football season. Is it truly national championship or bust for programs such as Georgia, Alabama, LSU and Texas? Can Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs continue competing for championships if their quarterback play is solid but less than elite? And after Vanderbilt's recent rise, can Clark Lea and the Commodores prove their success is sustainable and continue raising the floor of the program in Nashville? Josh Pate also shares his perspective on the pressure facing the SEC's top contenders, quarterback expectations across the conference, Vanderbilt's changing identity and much more from SEC Media Days. Topics include: • Josh Pate's biggest takeaways from SEC Media Days • Which SEC teams face national championship-or-bust expectations • Kirby Smart, Georgia football and the Bulldogs' quarterback situation • Whether Georgia needs elite QB play to win another national title • Can Vanderbilt football sustain its recent success? • Clark Lea's progress building the Commodores in Nashville • SEC championship contenders and College Football Playoff expectations • Major storylines entering the 2026 college football season Do not miss this wide-ranging college football conversation with one of the sport's most recognizable voices.
Could the SEC actually break away from the NCAA? On this episode of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker react to Greg Sankey's eye-opening comments from SEC Media Days and discuss why college football's lack of leadership, inconsistent NIL rules and massive financial disparities could eventually lead to a new super-league. The guys examine how a potential SEC and Big Ten breakaway could reshape college football, whether programs like Clemson and Florida State could eventually join the SEC, and why the current system cannot regulate Alabama, Texas, Ohio State and Michigan the same way it regulates smaller athletic departments. Jake also revisits the legendary feud between Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher, revealing how personally Fisher took Saban's comments about Texas A&M recruiting. With NIL spending now becoming the standard across college football, does Jimbo's furious response look even worse in hindsight? The conversation then turns to the culture Nick Saban built at Alabama. Jake shares inside stories about the player-led leadership of Jarran Reed, Jonathan Allen, A'Shawn Robinson, Ryan Anderson and other Crimson Tide stars—including how Scott Cochran reportedly broke a second-place trophy to reinforce Alabama's championship-or-bust mentality. Can that type of culture still exist in the transfer portal and NIL era? Plus, Alabama was picked to finish a stunning seventh in the SEC preseason poll. Are Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide being overlooked? Jake breaks down Ryan Grubb's quarterback development, Alabama's loaded QB room, Kane Wommack's defense, concerns about the offensive line and running game, and why the Tide could once again use preseason disrespect as motivation. And, of course, Jake and Mick debate what truly qualifies someone as a “redneck,” complete with stories about Jimbo Fisher, hunting, giant bucks and turkey heads.
On this episode of The Sentinel Report, Alex Newman breaks down the day's biggest stories, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio's warning to the globalist International Criminal Court, new claims from the Trump administration about non-citizens on U.S. voter rolls, and what the Democratic Socialists of America's newly adopted platform reveals about the radical Left's long-term agenda. Then, Alex is joined by an outstanding lineup of guests: Laura Cervantes, a Texas mother suing her local school district over violations of parental rights. Brooks Gibbs, resilience educator and speaker, on concerns surrounding Scientology's takeover of public streets in Clearwater, Florida. Ieda and Adauto Denardi, Brazilian homeschooling parents, along with their attorney Isabelle Monteiro, after the couple was imprisoned for homeschooling their children.

On this episode of Americana Podcast: The 51st State, host Robert Earl Keen welcomes acclaimed singer-songwriter, actor, and Academy Award winner Ryan Bingham for a conversation recorded at the legendary Continental Club in Austin, Texas. Before Hollywood recognition and Yellowstone fame, Bingham's life was shaped by the realities of the American West—rodeo circuits, ranch work, and years spent writing songs rooted in lived experience rather than romanticized myth. That authenticity became the foundation of a career that began with his breakthrough album Mescalito and led to an Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Grammy for "The Weary Kind" from Crazy Heart. Bingham joins REK to discuss his long-awaited return with They Call Us the Lucky Ones, his first studio album in seven years. Created alongside longtime collaborators The Texas Gentlemen, the record emerged from relaxed jam sessions rather than meticulously planned studio work, resulting in an album that feels both spontaneous and deeply personal. Together, REK and Bingham explore songwriting, growing up in the American West, finding an authentic creative voice, and the experiences that continue to shape Bingham's music. It's a conversation about resilience, gratitude, and why the most enduring songs are often the ones that simply tell the truth.

The Texas Longhorns have some turnover in the trenches, but may have leveled up after adding two of the most-coveted linemen from the transfer portal. Statistics show that Arch Manning's production skyrocketed after the Longhorns got the right grouping up front in 2025. Can the current group keep that trajectory?

Jake Jurewicz is the Co-founder and CEO of Blue Energy, a nuclear power plant developer. Blue Energy starts with proven, light water reactors and builds everything around them — prefabricating standardized nuclear plants as massive modules in shipyards and fab yards, then barging them to site. It pairs that with a patented gas-to-nuclear approach that energizes the plant on gas turbines first and converts to nuclear later. The goal is to make nuclear cheap enough and fast enough to build that private lenders will finance it, rather than the taxpayers and ratepayers who've carried almost every plant built so far. The company recently announced a collaboration with GE Vernova on a 2.5-gigawatt gas-plus-nuclear project in Texas, built around GE Vernova Hitachi's BWRX-300 reactor, with backing from VXI Capital, At One Ventures, and Engine Ventures. The why now is straightforward: AI data centers are pulling on the grid harder than anything in a generation, firm clean power is scarce, and the cost and speed of building nuclear have been the thing holding it back. Jake's bet is that the fix lives in how you build and finance the plant, rather than in the reactor itself.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Dallas sportswriter Tim Cowlishaw to Set Lusting Bruce, beginning with a discussion about Dallas teams potentially leaving the American Airlines Center area and the impact on fans and downtown. Cowlishaw shares his upbringing in Tulsa, New Jersey, and Texas, early musical influences like Beatles and The Who, and how a King Biscuit Flower Hour Columbia Records ad led him to Bruce Springsteen's The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle. He recounts a canceled 1974 Dallas show and finally seeing Springsteen up close at The Bottom Line in 1975, leading to roughly 30 concerts over the years, including 1984 Chicago shows. They discuss setlist predictability, Bruce's political remarks on recent tours, favorite albums and books, and how Springsteen's work ethic influenced Cowlishaw's writing, along with talk of Taylor Swift, Radiohead, and the “Does Mary get in the car?” question. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:50 Dallas Teams Leaving 04:40 Growing Up With Music 06:32 Discovering Bruce 08:19 First Show Cancelled 09:20 Bottom Line Breakthrough 13:12 Chasing Shows Stories 19:21 Setlists And Politics 21:17 Favorite Albums And Books 24:24 Nebraska Movie Debate 26:00 Writing Influences 26:33 Bruce Work Ethic Lesson 28:16 Still Writing Columns 29:43 Mavs Missteps Brunson 32:50 Taylor Swift Live 35:50 Radiohead Berlin Trip 38:54 Cowboys Season Outlook 40:30 Around the Horn Reflections 41:15 Thunder Road Mary Debate 43:11 Backstreets Terry Meaning 45:13 Wrap Up Social Links Learn more about your ad choices.

In this lesson from the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores one of the most compassionate principles of Jewish thought: teshuvah is deeply personal. Not everyone possesses the same knowledge, temperament, emotional resilience, or physical ability. Just as the courts in the Temple era evaluated each individual before administering punishment according to what they could physically endure, so too every person's path of repentance must be tailored to their unique circumstances. There is no universal formula for returning to Hashem. The wise mentor or teacher must understand the individual and guide them according to their strengths, limitations, and spiritual capacity.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that authentic spiritual growth requires knowing ourselves honestly. Some people thrive through physical discipline, while others would become discouraged by overly demanding practices. Acts of self-restraint—such as limiting physical pleasures, fasting occasionally, or taking on other personal challenges—are valuable only when they genuinely help a person grow closer to Hashem. He shares personal examples, including his own dislike of cold weather and his son's willingness to embrace cold-water challenges, illustrating that every individual must choose the path that strengthens their own character rather than imitate someone else's. Teshuvah is not measured by comparing ourselves to others, but by becoming the best version of ourselves.The episode concludes with one of the Talmud's most moving stories: Rabbi Elazar ben Dordaya, whose lifetime of immorality was transformed by a single moment of complete, heartfelt repentance. After realizing that no one else could intercede on his behalf, he turned directly to Hashem with overwhelming sincerity. At that moment, a Heavenly voice proclaimed that he had earned a place in the World to Come. Rabbi Wolbe explains that Judaism's unique approach to repentance requires no intermediaries, no confessional, and no human absolution. Every Jew has direct access to the Almighty. No matter how far a person has fallen, a sincere return to Hashem has the power to erase a lifetime of mistakes and restore an intimate relationship with the Creator._____________This Episode is Dedicated Anonymously to the I'lui Neshama of העשל בן יצחק הכהןThis Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on December 15, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 21, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

Friday July 10th: Department of War drops forty more Pursue files spanning 1948 to last year. Tonight Jeremy and Jake go through all of it.The centerpiece is a 77-year-old transcript that sat classified until last Friday. On February 16th, 1949, Edward Teller, Lincoln La Paz, and the Los Alamos lab director convened a secret meeting about green fireballs streaking silently over their own nuclear installations. By the end, even Teller couldn't explain the horizontal flight path. The lab director closed the meeting admitting it remained unexplained. That meeting created Project Twinkle, a network of observation posts built to catch these things on instruments. It was shut down before it could.Seventy years later: an unidentified object over the Pantex plant near Amarillo, Texas, the country's primary nuclear weapons assembly facility. Radar, trained witnesses, cameras, and video all converging on the same object above a nuclear weapons site with no explanation.Also in the release: a photograph from the space shuttle Columbia, a 28-year Air Force and Navy veteran who saw something unlike anything in his career, and a Harvard astrophysicist revealing his science council has requested 50 additional files the Pentagon still hasn't handed over.Patreon: https://patreon.com/InfiniteRabbitHoleJeremy's Book: https://www.amazon.com/U-F-Elmwood-Cosmic-Puzzle/dp/B0GX1GBMZNYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteRabbitHolePodcastWebsite: https://InfiniteRabbitHole.com
Yitzchak Pearson conducted a morning training session called the Agent Power Huddle, sharing his journey from growing up in a religious cult with only a seventh-grade education to becoming a successful real estate agent ranked number 19 in Texas and 275 in the United States. He discussed his book "Reaching Your Highest Potential and Achieving Your Dreams," outlining ten key ingredients for success including developing healthy habits, maintaining physical and mental fitness, building supportive relationships with family and friends, continuing education, taking consistent action, preparing daily, embracing discomfort, learning to say yes and no strategically, practicing delayed gratification, and understanding that success requires time and consistent effort. Yitzchak shared specific examples from his real estate business, including learning from successful agents like Chandra Van Pusa and implementing systems like hiring assistants and buyer's agents to scale his operations.

Send us Fan MailOur “Don't Mess With Texas” theme continues with one of the most iconic episodes in Texas history; “The Alamo.” We chose the 2004 version of this movie, which is a little more historically accurate than the 1960 John Wayne epic. Directed by John Lee Hancock and starring Billy Bob Thornton and Dennis Quaid, this film tells the story of Santa Anna's siege of the Alamo and the battle for Texan independence. We also have a crash course on the history of the state of Texas, and the events leading up to the titular event. So. . . Remember the Alamo! . . . and also that there's no basement there. . .

Coffee & Football goes live from SEC Media Days as Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton set the stage for the start of talking season's final stretch, with Blake Munroe checking in from the Texas High School Coaches Convention. The crew breaks down Steve Sarkisian's latest comments on Jermaine Bishop Jr., Laurence Seymour, Texas' roster age, five-for-five eligibility, and why the Longhorns need the offensive line to gel quickly before a demanding 2026 schedule. The show also features former Texas defensive coordinator and national championship-winning head coach Gene Chizik, who shares his thoughts on Sark's program, Will Muschamp's defensive style, Colin Simmons, the SEC grind, and why he's picking Georgia to win the league. Plus, the guys discuss Cole Hutson's eligibility situation, SEC coaches on the hot seat, key injury concerns across the conference, and why the Texas-Ohio State opener could immediately shape the playoff race.

In this SEC Media Days audio, Brent Venables sounds less like a coach giving preseason talking points and more like a man staring directly at the weight of Oklahoma's next step. After a 10-win season that still left obvious scars, he zeroes in on the place where pride, toughness and championship reality meet: the run game. His message is urgent and almost painful — Oklahoma can't simply look like a contender; it has to become harder, nastier and more dependable when the season tightens. The emotion of the moment comes from the gap between what the Sooners accomplished and what Venables believes they still owe themselves. He talks about physicality, belief, technique, offensive help around the quarterback and the pressure that falls on a team when it cannot consistently impose its will. This is not a victory lap; it is a line in the dirt, a reminder that Oklahoma's next leap will be earned in the trenches. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

"Never in my life have I felt so grounded, so strong, so centered. Austin, Texas, is my home. This city—this community—is my family. My work, everything I have worked so hard to build and everything I have worked so hard to become, finally has a safe place to nest and expand.I didn't realize until very recently that I had never felt truly at Home—until now.Now that I know what it feels like to come Home—to safety, rejuvenation, beauty, and peace—I realize what I have finally created. Not only a home for myself, but an oasis for my beloved community.A sacred thread running through my identity has always been Work Ethic and Follow-Through. Another word that comes to mind as I reflect is Integrity. When I say I will do something, that means it's done. No matter what it takes, I reach the finish line. And bringing Ayurveda to the masses has been the greatest and most rewarding use of that gift.I do it for God. I do it for Love. I do it to set a precedent for the next girl or boy dreaming of a career in Ayurveda—or pursuing another noble and worthy cause, whatever that hero's journey looks like for them. I want to give them the ability to see it and believe that it is possible.It took me a long time to embrace my role as a Leader. To accept my own innate worthiness. It took exactly as long as it took. But here we are.For context, I grew up feeling deprived of Love. I was starving for it throughout my 20s and well into my early 30s, which drew me into all kinds of unhealthy relationship dynamics—with myself and romantic partners.But my parents were kind enough to acknowledge my work ethic. I could sense that it made them respect me. So I ran with that—quite literally. From my first New York City Marathon at 18 to the eight-year marathon of becoming an Ayurvedic Doctor.This season begins at a new threshold. We are no longer asking whether Ojas Oasis can work. The clinic, the podcast, the online store, the merchandise, the partnerships, and this growing community have answered that question.Now we are asking: How far can it expand? After a 90 minute hot Vinyasa class this morning, I got my answer to that question. It can expand as much as I can hold and allow it to expand. Which means, everything that has happened prior to this season, built incredible tolerance and strength into my vessel. Which means, great power can flow through it. Life humbled me enough and purified me enough, to realize that great power is a great responsibility, gifted to those who can use it to help others. The leaders I have seen fall from the greatest of heights, fell the moment they tried to hold on to power, vs let it flow and let it go as it chooses. I have experienced life without love, without money, without friends, without certainty. Therefore, the fear of losing or the fear of dying, has been conquered. Because I have already lost 1000 times, and died 1000 times.In order to serve you all as deeply as I intend to, it requires constant up-leveling on my part. I am always looking at where I can grow, improve, and transmute my ego.This is what I call Dharmic Equity: the trust, capacity, and enduring value built when ambition is governed by service. It is not power we hoard; it is value we steward.9 seasons and a billion miles later, we are and continue to be proof of concept.Thank y'all for staying by our side as we pave the path into the next season. For our true fans and listeners, our first edition merch is now available: an Ojas Oasis t-shirt in 3 gorgeous colors: navy blue, ghee yellow, and blush pink. 100% cotton, available both in the clinic and online at www.ojasoasis.com/shop A simple reminder to keep your cup full, protect your Ojas, and your inner peace." - SashaSend us Fan MailThis episode is brought to you by Ojas Oasis Ayurveda, Sasha's private clinical practice.

Every government policy has a cost. Sometimes it appears through higher prices and debt. Other times it means fewer homes, weaker job growth, distorted investment, or billions lost to fraud.In Episode 173, I examine the labor market, inflation-adjusted wages, housing policy, federal overspending, Texas's economic model, tariffs, corporate welfare, and healthcare fraud.The path to prosperity is not more political control. It is restraint in spending, sound money, free trade, competition, and greater freedom to work, build, and invest.Find the show notes at vanceginn.substack.com and more of my work at vanceginn.com.
In this episode of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues exploring the Gemara in Tractate Ketubot, uncovering profound lessons about charity, human dignity, empathy, and trust in Hashem. Building on the previous discussion of anonymous giving, the Gemara recounts the generosity of Mar Ukva, who quietly supported a poor neighbor every year before Yom Kippur. When his son observed the recipient enjoying expensive aged wine, Mar Ukva's response was startling: rather than reducing his gift, he doubled it. Rabbi Wolbe explains that true tzedakah is not merely about meeting a person's minimum needs, but about understanding the life they once lived and the emotional pain caused by losing it. The Torah commands us not only to give, but to deeply appreciate another person's unique circumstances and preserve their dignity. The Gemara then examines the extraordinary generosity of Mar Ukva at the end of his life, when he reviewed his charitable giving and concluded that he had not done enough. Rabbi Wolbe uses this discussion to distinguish between ma'aser (tithing)—the portion of one's income entrusted to us by Hashem for distribution—and voluntary charity beyond the tithe. Through practical examples and inspiring stories, he illustrates that generosity is measured not by the absolute amount given, but by the proportion of one's means and the sincerity of one's heart. The episode also explores the halachic balance between giving generously and maintaining responsibility for one's own family's financial well-being. Rabbi Wolbe concludes with moving personal stories that demonstrate the incredible power of bitachon (trust in Hashem) and faithful tzedakah. He recounts the story of a struggling sofer who committed to giving twenty percent of his income despite having almost nothing, only to witness immediate and life-changing Divine blessing. He also shares remarkable experiences of donors whose acts of generosity were met with extraordinary providence. The overarching message is timeless: we often believe that holding onto money creates security, but the Torah teaches the opposite. Hashem entrusts resources to those who faithfully become channels of blessing for others. When we loosen our grip and allow Hashem to guide our generosity, we discover that true wealth is measured not by what we keep, but by what we faithfully give._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

In this lesson from the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe addresses a practical question that many people ask: How can someone possibly repent for years of repeated mistakes? What about a lifetime of speaking lashon hara, neglecting mitzvos because of poor upbringing, or simply never having learned the proper way to serve Hashem? The Orchot Tzaddikim reassures us that teshuvah is never beyond reach. Every individual is unique, with different strengths, weaknesses, backgrounds, and circumstances. Therefore, repentance is not a one-size-fits-all process. Each person must find the path that best enables them to grow closer to Hashem according to their own abilities and spiritual makeup. A central theme of the episode is that teshuvah is built by strengthening our strengths rather than becoming overwhelmed by our failures. Rabbi Wolbe explains that if fasting or physical hardship would weaken a person's Torah study or service of Hashem, then it is not the appropriate form of repentance for that individual. Instead, the Torah teaches us to increase kindness, truth, Torah learning, heartfelt prayer, humility, volunteering, and helping others. Quoting King Solomon's words, "With kindness and truth, sin is atoned," Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that positive action transforms a person's spiritual standing. He also cautions against the endless distractions of modern life—from constant news consumption to unnecessary entertainment—that prevent honest self-reflection and meaningful growth. The lesson concludes with a powerful call to create regular moments of solitude and introspection. Rabbi Wolbe shares the practice of hisbodedus—setting aside uninterrupted time to speak with Hashem, reflect on one's life, express gratitude, seek forgiveness, and deepen one's relationship with the Creator. He recalls his grandfather's yeshiva, which even had a dedicated room for quiet contemplation free from every distraction. Finally, Rabbi Wolbe offers an inspiring perspective on current events, reminding us that despite the turmoil in the world, we should focus on recognizing Hashem's countless miracles and expressions of love. Rather than living in fear, we should view these moments as opportunities to strengthen our trust in Hashem, increase our acts of kindness, and continue drawing ever closer to Him. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on December 15, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 20, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!
