Once again the Off the Deep End triumvirate (Braden, Chris, Adam) have delved into long forgotten dungeons in order to procure the wisdom of D.W. Bradley from ages long past. Exploring the seventh Wizardry game is no easy task, however, as they have to brave its intricate world, complex character building, and very 1992 sense of difficulty. You'll also learn about Wizardry Gaiden, Wizardry 6, Wizardry 8, games that came out in roughly the same time period as Wizardry 7, and in general the word Wizardry is going to be spoken too many times.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Trump: 7/10 All in all, 5% defence spending at NATO, a ceasefire that holds, and talks with Iran next week. It's not bad. Rob Penney: 8/10 From last year to this. That's one of sports great stories, and I assume involves tremendous amounts of well-deserved satisfaction. Whanau Ora and Tama Iti and Moana Pasifika: 2/10 Central Government yet again missing the politically triggering stuff they promised to address. David Seymour: 7/10 As Acting Prime Minister in the house and in media, he is a very solid, considered set of hands with good wit to go with it. Golden visas: 8/10 That is practical thinking, making tangible difference. 189 applications and $800million worth of business - let's go NZ! Wealth and the pension: 2/10 Bum note of the week. Targeting those who actually worked hard to save to help in retirement should never be used as a punishment. And the Retirement Commissioner might like to ask herself whether she understands her job.

Acclaimed crime and rugby author and notable weekly columnist Geoff Parkes joined Brett McKay & Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast (briefly) to wrap up the Super Rugby Pacific Grand Final, where the Crusaders proved way too strong for the Chiefs in Christchurch. And Geoff was supposed to join the 8/9 as we slip firmly into Lions Tour mode, too, only for a network outage in New Zealand to rule him out of what still was an interesting discussion, as Brett & Harry turn their attention to the 2025 Briish & Irish Lions Tour of Australia, which begins this weekend in Perth. Plus, it's the long awaited Top 14 Finale in France, and it's the Championship Final in Major League Rugby in the States.

In this powerful episode of Yahweh's Money, I sat down with my daughter, Alana Cook, for a candid Gen X vs. Gen Z conversation about faith, finances, and finding your own path.Together, we explored how different generations approach money, the church, and what it really means to walk in financial freedom while staying spiritually grounded.Here are a few key takeaways from our discussion:Faith and Finances Are Deeply PersonalWhile older generations often tied financial decisions to church traditions like tithing, Gen Z is questioning religious institutions and redefining what it means to honor God with their money.Financial Literacy for Gen Z Starts at HomeFrom budgeting to building confidence in spending, teaching our children early builds a solid foundation. Even small habits—like grocery shopping lessons—can shape a lifelong money mindset.Wealth Gaps Call for New StrategiesWith rising costs and limited job opportunities, Gen Z is navigating a very different economic reality. Together, we talked about how faith, resilience, and adaptability are key to creating generational wealth in a broken system.If you're parenting a young adult or are one yourself, this episode offers practical insights and biblical money principles for building financial independence and spiritual strength.Let's keep having the hard, holy conversations—across generations.Episode Resource:Proverbs 22:6 Send us a text

Vice President/Director of Athletics & Interim Vice President for Advancement Kit Hughes joins Voice of the Crusaders Kevin Gehl to wrap up the 2024-25 year for Holy Cross Athletics. Hughes reflects on some of his favorite moments from the year, how important it was for the department to focus on connecting with community, and looks ahead to how future Crusaders can sustain comprehensive excellence through end of year giving

Ant, Phil and Andy recap the two season finales for URC and Super Rugby as well as the non-Test between the B&I Lions (minus Leinster) and Argentina (minus most of their first choice French clubbers). The Lions head off to Australia with more questions than answers but Ant like a good Brit thinks this might be a good thing. The Super Clubs of Leinster and the Crusaders add more trophies to their storied histories, and the Bulls bullies get taught a lesson at Choke, I mean Croke, Park. Meanwhile, attention turns to the Test window, with an appetizer in the form of the BaaBaas in Cape Town who have already run up significant bills at Caprice in Clifton if rumours are to be believed.

The All Blacks squad posed as many questions as answers, with just five loosies and a colossal six midfield backs. Will Ardie be at 7? Will Rieko be on the wing?ARP breaks down the squad and talks to All Blacks assistant coach Jason Ryan about why the likes of Crusaders stars David Havili and Ethan Blackadder didn't make the cut. Jippa, Bryn and Ross also look into the French squad and why the Lions were so poor in their opening clash. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, much to our dismay, the Crusaders have done it again—another Super Rugby title, this time over the Chiefs. Meanwhile, Los Pumas pulled off a cracking win against the Lions in a game that had everything, and Razor Robertson has named his first All Blacks squad... complete with a few eyebrow-raisers.Plus, there's the usual helping of BS, distractions galore, and Mark has a therapeutic moment with some delightfully grumpy YouTube commenters.

Welcome back to a new episode of the Pick and Go podcast. So that's it! Another season of Super Rugby has come to a close. The Crusaders are champions once again, and the Chiefs are also - once again - the runners up. Media discussion focused on the validity of a possible Chiefs win, given their loss against the Blues, but should we be questioning the Crusaders' win given they didn't even finish top of the table? Ardie took out the Player of the Year, but who do our panel think was worthy of the title? Talk will now start turning towards the All Blacks as they begin building a team to face France. Is it too early to start thinking about World Cup places? Who are the surprise picks, and what can we expect from the team based on the Razor's selections?

Dr. Eleanor Janega and Luke Waters from the We're Not So Different podcast join the lads on a medievalist romp through the world of morality plays as they cover the story of Everyman and two of its progeny: the works of Jack Chick and a little show called Adventures in Odyssey. Topics include the Dutch origins of Everyman, the horrors of being eternally judged while nude, and the insidious pedantry at the heart of the evangelical movement.

Season 1 focuses, appropriately enough, on the First Crusade, requested by a Byzantine Empire under threat and called by a Catholic Church eager for a “great cause.” You'll follow the expedition from its origins in Europe to the walls of Jerusalem as we try to understand why this Crusade, unique among its sequels, ended in success for the Crusaders.

Chiefs fans have been told that cow bells are not welcome at the Super Rugby Pacific final in Christchurch on Saturday. The Waikato supporters are known for enthusiastically ringing the metal bells that were traditionally tied around cows necks. But the Crusaders have warned fans metal bells will be confiscated at the gate at Apollo Project stadium, and they may be melted down. Crusaders CEO Colin Mansbridge spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Super Rugby final is here and the Crusaders and Chiefs are seeking to carve out their own slice of history on Saturday night in Christchurch. Rugby reporter Joe Porter has more.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Good ideas: 7/10 Not a bad week. Monthly inflation data, the census scrapped, the Housing Minister to overrule council and health targets improving. Things feel a bit like they're moving. The Crusaders: 7/10 A great comeback story for Rob Penney, who was vilified a year ago, on the verge of being a hero this weekend. Nico Porteous: 7/10 Story of the week in some ways for me. Living his dream, charting his destiny, and mature beyond his years. I wish him well. Venice: 3/10 They're protesting the Jeff Bezos wedding. He has booked the place out, he is throwing money at the joint, and they are a tourist town. What is it you want? Radio NZ: 4/10 They're looking for people to quit and that, sadly, is what you get when the Willie 'Snake Oil' Jackson rolls his circus into town to hand out lollies that can never be real. The world: 4/10 It's a mess, isn't it? This time last week yet another war started and where traditionally we have a country and a leader that rises to the occasion, sadly these days there's no such luck. He's too busy launching his gold phone. LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Crusaders are going to win the Super Rugby final this weekend, so coach Rob Penney is on to tell us how they'll do it.

The Crusaders' current Super Rugby season is like chalk and cheese when compared to the las. They missed the playoffs in 2024, with just four wins in 14 matches. In contrast, this year sees them host the grand final against the Chiefs – clashing at the Apollo Projects Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday. Coach Rob Penney told Mike Hosking the Chiefs have beaten them twice this year, but neither team is the same team as they were on those occasions. He says it's going to be another tight match, and the team that holds its composure the longest, prepares the best, and plays the best will be the ultimate victors.

Leinster are champions of the URC after a composed, clinical performance over a Bulls side that just didn't bring the fire. In Super Rugby, the Crusaders crush our dream (again) of the Blues pulling off a miracle, reminding us what finals footy really looks like. And the Chiefs? They take care of business against the Brumbies in a no-nonsense semi-final display. Plus, we serve up our usual helping of sideline nonsense — bold takes, bad analogies, and a bit of rugby therapy for long-suffering Blues fans. Grab a beer and enjoy!

The Crusaders are 31-0 in home playoff games. What must the Chiefs do to end that run in the Super Rugby final??There are holes at prop, lock and loosie, so who will be the debutants in next week's All Blacks squad. Will the selectors be conservative or will they choose the likes of Carter and Tavatavanawai?We give a sneak peak at our SBW interview, as he recalls his iconic try and jump into the stands from the Chiefs' first Grand Final win in 2012.Plus.
