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.

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.

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.

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' 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.

All eyes are on the Super Rugby semi-finals as the Crusaders and the Blues go head-to-head in Christchurch on Friday night.
The Crusaders' 27-year perfect home playoff record is on the line again as they size up the Blues for a place in the Super Rugby Pacific final. It's week two of the playoffs and the two teams will be facing off in tonight in Christchurch. After that, the ‘lucky losers', the Chiefs, will take on the Brumbies in Hamilton. Crusaders CEO Colin Mansbridge told Mike Hosking that Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Mesley keeps banging on about wanting jeopardy in every match, and last week's clash between the Blues and the Chiefs was a good example. He says the Blues' win surprised most of them, but that's the nature of the game – you don't know who's going to win, and that's what you want.

In the season 4 opening episode of Yahweh's Money, I had an open and heartfelt conversation with my husband, Nathaniel Cook Jr., about the intersection of love, legacy, faith, and finances in Black marriages. Drawing on our 26-year journey together, we reflected on how biblical principles, patient partnership, and intentional money management have shaped our relationship and approach to generational wealth.Here are a few key takeaways from our discussion:Compromise is CrucialMarriage and money both thrive on honest conversations and joint decision-making. Neither partner will always be right, and building wealth requires alignment—even if visions aren't identical, they must point in the same direction.Faith Fuels Financial ResilienceLeaning on faith helps navigate disagreements and encourages patience, trust, and hope—both in God and each other. Strong faith doesn't erase worry, but it anchors couples through uncertain times.Generational Understanding Builds WealthWealth isn't just about assets; it's also about the mindset passed on. Demonstrating responsible financial behaviors and discussing money openly with our daughter has helped her set a new “floor” for her own future, raising the bar for the next generation.If you're looking to strengthen your relationship or build a financial legacy, consider scheduling a "money date" with your partner—pray together and align on your vision for the future.Let's keep breaking cycles and building together!Episode Resources:Ecclesiastes 4:12Send us a text

Welcome back to a new episode of the Pick and Go podcast. The first round of knock out rugby is behind us and you'll almost need a masters degree in maths to work out all the possible permutations. The Chiefs losing to the Blues means all that hard work to finish top is now undone as they may miss out on a home field final should the Crusaders win their game against the Blues. The weekend almost had a number of players get so close to scoring world class tries, but falling at the final hurdle so we are asking which is the greatest almost try of all time. It is a big weekend of semi-final rugby will the Aussies have a team in the final or will it be an all Kiwi affair?

A short 9 years after the fourth Crusade ended the Pope called for a fifth. And the aim still was? Taking back Jerusalem. But the Crusaders—again!—made bad strategic decisions. And then, of all weird things, in the middle of the Crusade the Sultan was visited by Francis of Assisi. I recount the exchange between those two men and reflect on the spirit of Crusading. When King Frederick of Germany, and emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, eventually arrived he finally regained Jerusalem. All that, and Frederick wasn't even a Christian. In the show's opening cultural reflection I work through the recent conflagration concerning Harvard and higher education. What is going on there that provoked Trump's ire? Why am I a bit conflicted? Why am I enjoying no small amount of Schadenfreude? I also tell homefront tales about catching a big black spider and a conversation with a single-dad Robin I had last week. Come laugh and think with me!

The Southeastern 16 crew of Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee break down the Chapel Hill Regional, hosted by North Carolina. The Tar Heels had a tremendous résumé and are loaded with stars, with starting pitcher Jake Knapp, catcher Luke Stevenson, first baseman Hunter Stokely, 1B, North Carolina, pitcher Jason DeCaro, outfielder Kane Kepley, second baseman Jackson Van De Brake and reliever Walker McDuffie all making one of the Atlantic Coast Conference's first three all-league teams. The Tar Heels posted an outstanding 3.46 ERA, hit 73 home runs and stole 83 bases and look to be one of the most complete teams in the NCAA tournament. Oklahoma, with ace and soon-to-be MLB first-rounder Kyson Witherspoon, can beat anyone when he's on the mound. The Sooners are athletic and can run and defend with catcher Easton Carmichael, center fielder Jason Walk and third baseman Jaxon Willis among the lineup standouts. Can the Sooners get enough pitching from starters Malachi Witherspoon and Cade Crossland--who are talented, but inconsistent--to win the regional? Nebraska won the Big 10 tournament pitching in spacious Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, thanks to a monumental championship-game effort from right-hander Tyler Horn. It's not a team laden with standouts--reliever Luke Broderick was the only Cornhusker on the first three All-Big Ten team--but Case Sanderson leads a quality offense that likes to put the ball in play. Fourth-seeded Holy Cross took a game in its series at Auburn earlier in the year. Jimmy King (20 steals), Gianni Royer (24) and CJ Ergrie (35) are good at reaching base (a team mark of .407) and running, and durable ace Danny Macchiarola gives the Crusaders a chance to win when he pitches.
