If you've listened to the radio lately, perhaps you've noticed that pop music is sounding a lot like worship music. Some of the year's most popular songs use biblical imagery, emotive builds, and vocal choirs—not unlike what you might hear in church. On this week's episode, we discuss a recent article that traces this trend. We explore why music producers are mimicking worship music and what it suggests about our cultural moment.Chapters:(0:00) Introductions: Myrtle & Cypress(3:21) Is "Secular Praise Music" Even a Thing?(13:24) What's Driving the Change in Pop Music(19:03) What Music Says About Our Collective Longings(30:05) We Can Worship Even When Songs Are Hard to SingArticle:https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/article/everyone-is-listening-to-secular-praise-music-yes-even-you-110058855.html

Louie & Barry are back with another SoCal Saturday.We're back to Cypress, where the EB Johnston is the feature at Los Al.

This Whiparound Friday episode might as well be a show about nothing with not much going on in golf this week. Andy and Brendan start with a quick rundown of an early leaderboard at the Procore with players like Mackenzie Hughes and Matt Kuchar leading the way. They then move to the BMW PGA on the DP World Tour where auto-qualifier Rasmus Hojgaard struggled on Thursday. Andy takes that baton and runs with it, explaining that the Ryder Cup captains need to be more cutthroat and sit struggling players until Sunday singles if that's what is best for the team. This leads into an impromptu Flashback Friday on the 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National in Paris, France. Andy and Brendan remember some crazy decisions made by the American side, such as making a "celebratory" Tiger Woods play four times that week and pairing a rookie Bryson DeChambeau with a wild Phil Mickelson. They bring up supporting characters such as Thorbjorn Olesen playing with Rory McIlroy and the European team of "Moliwood" that effectively won the event on their own. As for the 2025 event, the Americans are out in full force in Napa and Keegan Bradley is calling this the "closest team he's ever seen" - despite only seeing two teams prior to this. After a bunch of winding Ryder Cup chatter, some legendary Golf Advice emails send us into the weekend. A #HedgeBoy story from Cypress jogs Andy's memory about a horrendous round in the area before Brendan reads an email about a member-guest caddie's interactions with nature.

We start today with some awfully sad news, long time wolfpackers would know our rules guy Stu McPhee, whenever we needed anything clarified, Stu was our go to guy - what he didn't know wasn't worth knowing. Sadly, Stu passed away last week from cancer, and we acknowledge him on the pod today, and our thoughts are with his family at such a difficult time.And then, as Stu would have expected, we get on with the show.Michael had a question about bag maintenance on course, and who drives that - player or caddy - Nick and Mark explain their approaches. Nick tells a great story about playing in the Australian Open without any wet weather guy....was he focused and tough? Or did he just forget to pack wet weather gear? We find out.Question from 'anonymous' on two friends of his who are going to Cypress Point and the Ryder Cup shortly. Anon has two questions, one for Nick and one for Mark. Leads to a chat about AFL theme songs, for international wolfpackers, AFL football clubs in Australia have theme songs and Nicks favourite team has the definitive worst theme song of all.After the turn, a Vietnam update, Nick is there for the week, we find out where he's played since the earlier pod, and where he's playing today. We get some Monty comments - always fun. And then an amazing story from a wolfpacker about crocodiles at Royal Port Moresby Golf Club !!!!!And we wrap with a question from Dean about pace of play, a hot button for Nick and Mark.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

This week on Quiet Please, we dive into Rory McIlroy’s emotional win in Ireland, where his game — and those Irish eyes — were truly shining. We break down what the victory means for his confidence and future momentum. Then it’s on to the Walker Cup, where Team USA kept the trophy on home soil in a thrilling contest full of grit and clutch play. The real star, though? Cypress Point. The iconic course finally got its moment in the spotlight, and it did not disappoint. We wrap up by asking: after seeing Cypress shine, what other legendary venues deserve a turn hosting a big event? From Pine Valley to Royal Melbourne, we dream a little — and we want to hear your picks too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Slightly different pod this week, Nick is in Vietnam for the week with a bunch of lucky golfers playing a number of courses there, so he is coming to us from his (undoubtedly luxurious) hotel room for the pod. We get a run through of the courses he's playing, and how he's dealing with the humidity.Leads to a chat about the ideal golfing holiday, Nick and Mark share where they'd love to go for a golfing trip and the courses they'd love to play. On that topic, Mark reckons he may have found a way to sneak a round at Augusta....watch this space....Speaking of golf trips....we run through the prizes for our Talk Birdie To Me golf day at Links Golf and Wellbeing at Hope Island on the Gold Coast. The list of prizes from Titleist, FootJoy, Golf Clearance Outlet is both extensive and fantastic....Mark makes an executive decision on the call as to how we'll award the prizes, which is pretty good so we'll run with it! There are a few tickets left, but we suspect not for long, so if you'd love to play golf with Nick and Mark on the Gold Coast on Wednesday October 8th, all the info here.We discuss the tournament at Cypress Point at the weekend, and we discuss the course....wow. Mark again raises Nicks idea for how the PGA should decide the Champion Golfer of the Year, which he feels fits beautifully at Cypress. And could that structure work for the Australian Amateurs? We say yes.The BMW Touch of Class is a beautiful one today. Nick saw a fantastic video from the DP World Tour involving Shane Lowry, we listen to/watch some of it. It's great.For Betr, the Top 5 from Nick today is inspired, in part, by the Irish Open. The Top 5 courses that aren't great courses, but often have great finishes.Lots of feedback, for Southern Golf Club, including a whack for the three Talk Birdie team members from a myriad of wolfpackers - it was like a class action feedback session! Plus feedback on Nicks story from last week about Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson vs a couple of amateurs, more iron covers, and golf architects.Mark has some breaking news - after last weeks discussion about Lucas Parsons and The Shark, he's reached out to Lucas who has said he'd love to come on the pod and give all the details of what happened when he played with Greg as a youngster....this will be good. We'll chat to Lucas next week.And Mark's masterclass, for watchMynumbers, is on slicing the ball and how to avoid it!We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

There is a real cost that comes from constant stress producing behaviors. With a mother's heavy heart, young enlisted go off to do their duty. Some thoughts on friends who have fought and died before us. You were right about everything. She will be golden by tomorrow. People who are free falling will grab onto whatever they can. The Gaza issue will involve Cypress. What Turkey did with Israel will be coming out soon. Strategies are not for the now, but for the future. God has been generous with the bonus miles. Remember that Zuck once banned the President. The Tina Peters case could have been won. But it's not over. There were drones parked in the Albanian mountains. In this day and age there is no anonymous. 90% of our military don't believe in what their doing. Making the sacrifices for what you were told. Nothing that the news says is accurate. Family planning means have lots of babies and pack your holidays. There is so much coming down the pike that will be shocking. All of us should be ready for anything.

Andy and Brendan return with a mega-episode to kick off a big weekend in sports! Andy is especially excited about his trip to the Walker Cup at Cypress Point and previews some players to watch in the 50th playing of the competition. The two discuss golf's resurgence in popularity, using Sergio Garcia's decision to skip the Irish Open to play with tennis star Carlos Alcaraz as a prime example. After a lengthy Walker Cup discussion and an all-time story from a trip to Cypress, Andy and Brendan dive in on the first round of the Irish Open. Rory McIlroy found himself on the clock on Thursday and was quite upset, but not as upset as Pablo Larrazabal was at Marco Penge missing out on the Ryder Cup team. Larrazabal's tweet is a perfect transition into some Ryder Cup commercialization news on a slow week in golf. PJ is appalled that there will be an outdoor takeover of Rockefeller Center for Ryder Cup weekend and Brendan shares details of some very expensive "at-home" kits for those watching on TV. Following the Ryder Cup, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will lead another set of teams at the "Golf Channel Games" in December. Andy is already excited for the potential of some takes surrounding any pro's performance in this made-for-TV exhibition. In a follow up from the legendary "Dunky" on Monday's episode, Andy shares another Walker Cup crime file - with this former player ending up absolved of any wrongdoing. To wrap things up, there's some brief NFL chatter before we send it to an old Flashback Friday segment from 2019 on the first-ever Walker Cup.

Today's ep of the Smylie Show is a "Cup" Double Feature - beginning with some Cypress Point course notes and observations from Charlie Hulme fresh off a Monday look at the course ahead of the 50th Walker Cup. Smylie and Charlie run through some club history and design notes before examining several of Cypress' holes that could be pivotal in match play, concluding with score predictions for USA and GB&I. SK and CH then shift gears, reacting to Luke Donald's captain's picks on Monday that rounded out his Team Europe Ryder Cup side.

In September of 2020, Jasper County 911 received a disturbing call from a local motel. A young girl was found shot while propped up in the bed. Conflicting narratives, extra "detailed" alibis and mind games led authorities to the party responsible after a quick investigation.

With the Ryder Cup teams for the US and Europe now a lock, a little later in the show we discuss the makeup of the teams and who will win. Mark says the European team is very strong, and tips them to win, Nick feels it will be close and the crowd may play a role.However, we start today talking about one of, if not the, greatest courses in the world - Cypress. Stunningly beautiful, and the venue for this weekends Walker Cup which is not being shown in Australia, much to Nick and Mark's chagrin. Yes there was much chagrin to go around. Chagrin wherever you look.Nick talks about one of his favourite books called 'The Match', and explains the premise....fascinating. Mark reckons it should be a movie and on the off chance any Hollywood type people listen to the pod (we realise it's a small chance) can you possibly make a movie out of it? Hang on.....our mate Michael Peña is back in Australian in a couple of weeks, maybe we can hit him up to lean on his contacts.Mark played Royal Melbourne at the weekend and gives a report on the course condition, the fringes, the greens and the trees. He reckons it'll be ready for The Australian Open, and look a million bucks, possibly except for one aspect, which he highlights. There is another thing about Royal Melbourne that he thinks is not right, and refers to some golf architects as 'mad'.We discuss the pathways news from last week, very exciting. Ernie Els comments about Tiger and the Champions Tour, Nick and Mark both feel it's a good move for Tiger and explain why....and in other Tiger-related news, Charlie Woods got a hole in one at the weekend! We have a listen to it.Nick is excited about the some of the European tournaments coming up, and chats through them.Touch of Class for BMW this week comes from the LPGA and features Miranda Wang with a fantastic performance in Boston. Given her surname, cue predictable and obvious Caddyshack joke!On The Ryder Cup - Mark makes the bold call that Betr don't know as much about this kind of golf as Nick and he do, and that he reckons we'll do a multi that will absolutely rinse Hummer and the team at Betr.Into the Top 5, thanks to Betr, and today it's on the top 5 vistas in golf featuring fauna (and such). Why 'and such'? No idea, Mark said it, we couldn't figure it out. Nick talks about the famous cypress tree at Cypress Point.PING globals from Nick, plenty going on to run through.And lots of feedback covering 'Chokers', Steve Williams, Caddies, some stories on Thomas Bjørn after Nicks comments last week, and on Lyndsay Stephen. Plus a whack for Greg Norman from a wolfpacker....ouch.And Nick's masterclass today is on the 'Pinky Drill'.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

In the latest episode of the WGI Unleashed Podcast, we get to know Cody Lambert, PE, a Senior Structural Engineer based in WGI's Austin, Texas office. With a laid-back attitude, a passion for mentoring, and a knack for complex design challenges, Cody brings his thoughtful and collaborative spirit to everything he does, whether it's leading structural efforts on a unique residential build or fostering a learning culture among his teammates. Growing Up in Cypress Originally from Cypress, Texas (a large suburb just outside Houston), Cody describes his upbringing as classic suburban - playing basketball in the street, riding his bike around the neighborhood, and earning a reputation for missing curfews despite his mom's best efforts (and watch purchases). While he played traditional sports early on, Cody eventually traded team athletics for something a little more daring: BMX biking. Though he wasn't part of an official team, he spent much of his free time at skateparks and backyard halfpipes. Discovering Austin and the Path to Engineering After visiting his older brother at the University of Texas at Austin, Cody instantly fell in love with the city's energy and set his sights on becoming a Longhorn. Though he entered college undeclared, a transformative architecture course and a growing interest in design led him to architectural engineering. Ultimately, he found his niche in structural engineering, drawn to the challenge of solving tough technical problems. That realization set the course for both his undergraduate and graduate degrees at UT, where he specialized in structural design. Early Career and Joining WGI Cody continued on to earn his master's degree at UT, then launched his career through a series of impactful internships, including one where he worked on a toll kiosk project at Austin's airport, and ultimately, a long-term position at a structural firm. That journey eventually led him to WGI, thanks to former colleague and now-supervisor Forrest Bratton. Since joining the firm, Cody has become an integral part of WGI's Buildings division, known not just for his engineering expertise but for his dedication to mentoring younger team members. In fact, mentorship and knowledge-sharing are Cody's favorite parts of the job. He helped implement a biweekly “Lessons Learned” session in the Austin office, creating space for engineers to reflect on project experiences, share mistakes, and grow together as a team. His philosophy? Teach others so well that you make yourself obsolete. Standout Projects Cody also shared some highlights from his project work, including a complex private residence in Telluride, Colorado, where his team designed a two-story basement structure underneath a suspended historic cottage, an incredibly intricate feat of coordination and engineering. He also contributed to the recently completed Jacksonville Transportation Authority's Autonomous Innovation Center (AIC), helping navigate tricky soils and deep foundation design. Away From His Desk Outside of the office, Cody is an avid rock climber, often hitting the gym several times a week. He's also passionate about cooking, discovering new restaurants, and spending time with his two dogs—Kade and Bonita—who he and his girlfriend brought together to form one very quirky (and lovable) pet family. From his early days in Cypress to tackling world-class projects and championing team growth, Cody brings a humble, people-first approach to structural engineering—and it's clear his impact at WGI stretches far beyond the drawings and calculations. Tune In  This episode is full of thoughtful insights, surprising stories, and inspiring moments - from BMX and rock climbing to navigating complex structural challenges and mentoring the next generation of engineers. So, tune in, and as always, stay curious, stay driven, and keep unleashing your full potential!  Visit your favorite podcast app now and subscribe to WGI Unleashed to receive alerts every time a new episode drops.  You can find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, or wherever you find your favorite podcasts.

BIO:Dr. Neel Bulchandani is an intra- and inter-disciplinary healer specializing in solving complex problems related to sleep, airway, feeding, and mobility. He uses systems thinking and a kaleidoscopic approach (nod to Thomas Edison) in order to help all ages -- babies to adults. He began as a chiropractor 17 years ago, and then 9 years ago, when his daughter was born with a tongue tie, he went down the rabbit hole of tethered oral tissues and airway/feeding centered health. Already curious and delving into fascia and visceral work (organs), Neel dove even deeper in order to help figure out the surrounding issues related to his daughter's feeding issues. He developed a Floor of the Mouth Protocol, and has online courses for both practitioners and patients where he aids them in freeing tongue and mouth tension. He has created an Airway Map comprised of 70 areas in the body that are often restricted when there are issues with the mouth, like tongue tie, narrow palates, etc. He's begun a tour across many cities in 2025 to teach other practitioners his method, and will be in Phoenix in June, Boise in July, Chicago in August, Minnesota in September, and Sarasota and Dallas in November. He's married to Dawn, and dad to 3 (Serenity, Cypress, and Zephyr). He does in-person and virtual appointments, and is based in Santa Barbara. He also sees patients in Agoura Hills, Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area.SHOWNOTES:

A quiet housewife vanishes without a trace, leaving behind a blood-soaked kitchen and a town haunted by the question: where did she go? | Inspired by a true crime case (see below).Watch the video version of this episode: https://weirddarkness.com/MurderNoir-CyprusGhost THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: In October 1961, Joan Risch of Lincoln, Massachusetts, mysteriously vanished from her home, leaving behind a blood-smeared kitchen, an overturned table, and her young children alone. Despite police and FBI investigations, searches, and public rewards, no trace of Joan was ever found. Theories ranged from abduction, murder, or self-inflicted disappearance — especially since Joan had recently borrowed books on missing-person cases — but to this day, her fate remains an unsolved mystery.SOURCES…Gary Sweeney from The-Line-Up.com: https://the-line-up.com/joan-rischMusic provided by Alibi Music Library= = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46= = = = =WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.
