Jamie Pollard gives an update on the timeline of his departure as Iowa State's director of athletics. The Athletic's Joe Rexrode wrote that Iowa State is more of a football school than basketball. Hassel makes the case that Cayden Daughtry going off at the Peach Jam is not good for Iowa.

Severe weather created another difficult weekend for travelers, and Richard opens the episode with the story of getting his sister home after JetBlue canceled her flight and could not offer another option for several days. The solution involved a train to Baltimore, a Southwest flight and a reminder of why keeping points available for emergencies can be so valuable. Ed then reviews his family's stay at the MGM Skylofts in Las Vegas, including the spacious two-bedroom accommodations, the aging room features and his lingering question about what guests are actually supposed to ask a hotel butler to do. He and Richard compare Skylofts with Aria Sky Suites and consider whether the additional luxury benefits justify the much higher price. The conversation shifts to the complicated Marriott–MGM relationship. Ed explains why MGM Gold status and direct booking can sometimes beat booking through Marriott, especially when resort fees and restaurant spending are considered. Richard also discovers an especially poor Marriott points redemption: nearly 17,000 points to avoid paying a $30 base room rate while still owing the resort fee. Later, the guys debate the best travel movies ever made, discuss whether Boeing should once again be allowed to certify its own aircraft, answer a listener question about choosing a Tokyo hotel for a short visit and examine why domestic award travel has become so painful for families.

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Trump, Populism, and the Battle Over America's Future Soros Funding and the Architecture of Political Influence Karen Kataline opens the program while filling in for Alan Nathan and welcomes Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, founder of the American Center for Democracy and author of The Soros Agenda. Their discussion begins with Kataline's assertion that Soros-linked funding reached pro-terrorist organizations, while Ehrenfeld responds that the recipient groups frequently change names and that the funding can be difficult to trace through multiple foundations and intermediaries. Ehrenfeld explains that money may pass through established educational, civic, or nonprofit organizations before reaching its final destination. She says Alexander Soros has led the foundation network since June 2023, while George Soros remains its founder, and characterizes the broader agenda as socialist or neo-Marxist, with expanded government control and redistribution as central features. A Host's Defense of Trump's Pace and Priorities Following the first interview, Kataline delivers an extended commentary praising President Donald Trump's energy, governing pace, and efforts to address crime and disorder in American cities. Citing a report that Trump was highlighting thousands of arrests of violent criminals, she uses public safety as an example of what she sees as his rapid and effective approach to governing. She contrasts his actions with Democratic leadership, left-wing activism, and media coverage that she describes as dishonest or disconnected from visible urban decline. Kataline also distinguishes admiration from worship, arguing that gratitude for political achievement should not be confused with personal devotion. She portrays Trump's business success as a product of the American free-market system and as preparation for what she sees as the greater challenge of restoring peace, prosperity, safety, and national confidence. “No Kings” Protests and Performative Activism Dr. Steve Turley joins the program and discusses the “No Kings” demonstrations. He characterizes much of the movement as astroturfed and describes the protests as a “performative contradiction,” arguing that the freedom to demonstrate against the government proves that the United States is not ruled by a king or dictator. He also portrays the events as symbolic activism that does not place participants' lives or livelihoods at meaningful risk. Turley characterizes the turnout as dominated by affluent white liberal boomers and argues that the groups most affected by urban disorder were largely absent. He and Kataline contrast the protesters with working-class Black and Latino communities that, in their view, are more directly concerned with crime, public order, secure borders, and economic conditions. MAGA as Part of a Global Nationalist Revival Turley introduces the central argument of his book, Fight: How Trump and the MAGA Movement Are Changing the World. He presents MAGA as the American expression of a broader international movement favoring national identity, secure borders, domestic manufacturing, cultural tradition, and resistance to globalist institutions. He links the movement to opposition against open borders, outsourced manufacturing, cheap-labor policies, and the denigration of national culture. Turley argues that the collapse of the Soviet Union weakened the old choice between competing ideological blocs and allowed populations to focus more directly on national and civilizational identity. He cites Pat Buchanan, Nigel Farage, and Giorgia Meloni as figures connected with this trend, while crediting Trump with transforming it into a far more powerful and internationally visible political force. Debating the “Woke Right” and Anti-Israel Sentiment Kataline and Turley then discuss the label “woke right,” particularly in relation to identity politics, ethnicity, antisemitism, and hostility toward Israel. Turley is cautious about the term because he associates wokeness primarily with cultural Marxism and the identity politics of the left. At the same time, he acknowledges that racial fixation and anti-Jewish hostility can become destructive within conservative movements. Kataline speaks personally about former political allies who, in her view, have become openly hostile toward Jewish people and Israel. She warns that what she describes as a Christian revival associated with Charlie Kirk's legacy should not be redirected by anti-Jewish or anti-Israel voices, and she emphasizes the need for Christians, Jews, conservatives, and supporters of Western civilization to remain aligned. Mamdani, Post-American Politics, and the Future of New York The final political discussion centers on Mamdani, whom Kataline and Turley characterize in strongly negative ideological terms, portraying him as communist, anti-Israel, and representative of what Turley calls a post-American movement. Turley argues that the emerging political divide is no longer adequately described as Republican versus Democrat, but rather as American versus post-American, with competing views of national culture and identity. Kataline compares Mamdani's political outlook with Barack Obama's, suggesting that the primary difference is how openly the ideology is expressed. Turley points to what he describes as Mamdani's limited majority support in a heavily Democratic electorate and argues that this could split the left while consolidating opposition on the right. He ultimately presents the situation as dangerous but also as a potential catalyst for a stronger nationalist counter-movement. Broadcast Ads, Public-Service Messages, and Closing Disclaimer The broadcast also contains several commercial and public-service segments addressing digital organization, adoption, veterans, prescription costs, business security, infant RSV prevention, blood-pressure awareness, employment training, and disability support. These segments are preserved as part of the original program rather than treated as editorial commentary. The episode closes with a network disclaimer stating that the opinions expressed belong to the hosts, callers, and guests and do not necessarily represent the station, management, or advertisers.

The Auburn Tigers shake up the SEC quarterback rankings—does Byrum Brown's arrival signal a new era on The Plains? Zac Blackerby and Brian Smith dissect Auburn's quarterback situation after On3 ranks transfer Byrum Brown eighth in the SEC. Debating national media narratives, they spotlight Brown's size, athleticism, and fit in Auburn's system, asking if his proven mobility and familiarity with offensive coordinator Alex Golesh's scheme could make him the conference's best third-down quarterback. Key stats, such as Auburn's third-down struggles and Brown's 3,131-yard, 28-touchdown campaign at South Florida, shape the debate. The hosts compare Brown's ceiling to SEC rivals like Ole Miss's Trindon Morten, Texas's Arch Manning, and Georgia's Gunner Stockton, exploring whether Auburn finally boasts a QB advantage in most games for the first time since the Bo Nix era. Can Auburn's upgraded offensive line and ground game fuel a breakout season—and will Brown's play propel the Tigers past preseason expectations? Support us by supporting our sponsors!

How do you know God exists? What reasons do atheists have to doubt God’s existence? Can you arrive at certainty? These questions are among the most significant that you can ask. If God exists, there are huge implications for your daily life. If not, then you can more or less choose your own adventure, making up meaning as you go. My guest today is Andrew Drinkard, the editor and project lead on an interesting book called Debating God’s Existence: Believers and Skeptics in Friendly Conversation, published by Eerdmans. In the interview that follows I ask him about his backstory as well as the story behind the debate this book was based on. We discuss Dan Barker’s argument against God based on the problem of evil as well as Adam Johnson’s argument for God based on objective morality. Then we engage a bit with Drinkard’s own content in the book regarding divine hiddenness. But before getting to the interview, let me say a couple of words about our guest today. Andrew Drinkard is the director of Inspiring Christianity ministries at inspiringchristianity.com. He holds an MA in theological studies and apologetics from Liberty University and is currently completing an MA in philosophy of religion at Palm Beach Atlantic University. His work has been published in the Journal of Classical Theology.   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— Get Will Barlow’s book, Explore What We Believe Support Restitutio by donating here Join our Facebook group, follow on X @RestitutioSF or Instagram @Sean.P.Finnegan or Threads @sean.p.finnegan Leave a 90 second voice message via SpeakPipe with questions or comments and we may play it out on the air Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here Get Finnegan’s book, Kingdom Journey to learn about God’s kingdom coming on earth as well as the story of how Christianity lost this pearl of great price.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus and co-organizer of AI roundtables with EcoCivilization. The conversation covers a wide range of AI-related topics, from the cultural implications of AI development across different countries to the evolution of Ekaterina's perspective on artificial intelligence—moving from initial anger and fear in 2023 to active participation in AI model design by 2025. They discuss the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives in AI training, the cross-country differences in AI regulation (comparing Argentina's human-out-of-the-loop approach to Europe's cautious stance), and the critical question of which sectors need humans in the decision-making loop. The discussion ventures into brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink, examining what happens when technology is removed and questioning whether healthy humans should pursue such enhancements, before touching on the future of personal AI models and the preservation of indigenous wisdom in AI training. You can connect with Ekaterina on LinkedIn to follow her work on AI, education, and cross-cultural technology development.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus, discussing her work organizing AI roundtables with EcoCivilization05:00 Ekaterina shares her evolution from anger toward AI in 2023 to realizing collaboration potential, emphasizing importance of multicultural perspectives in AI development and training10:00 Discussion of Argentina's new AI liability bill creating human-out-of-loop systems, contrasting with Europe's human-in-loop requirements and different global regulatory approaches15:00 Safety considerations in robotics and AI development, comparing industrial automation standards across regions and discussing Pentagon's use of Anthropic with Palantir systems20:00 Exploring brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink developments, questioning enhancement versus necessity and examining motivations behind cognitive augmentation technologies25:00 Debating human capabilities beyond cognitive function, discussing nervous system, emotions, psychosomatics, and whether brain generates or receives thoughts30:00 Examining societal divisions from enhancement technologies, referencing Avatar and Years and Years series, questioning benefits for healthy individuals versus disability applications35:00 Discussing technological gaps between enhanced and standard populations, concerns about corporate seduction into cybernetic modifications, and lack of long-term safety studies40:00 Questioning who frames AI conversations and trains models, exploring dominant worldviews embedded in AI systems and Vatican-Anthropic collaboration implications45:00 Stewart shares mistakes with Facebook biometric data and building personal AI infrastructure, emphasizing importance of controlling your own models and data50:00 Analyzing whether massive data collection actually improves AI training, questioning if user conversations become buried garbage rather than meaningful model improvements55:00 Ekaterina discusses plans for organizing more roundtables, integrating indigenous wisdom into AI training, and connecting on LinkedIn for future collaborationsKey Insights1. Ekaterina Matveeva's perspective on AI has evolved significantly since 2023, moving from initial anger and fear about AI's impact on education and translation work to becoming actively involved in AI development and training. She realized that instead of resisting AI advancement, she could participate in shaping it by contributing her expertise in education, language, and cross-cultural communication. This shift represents a broader realization that diverse participation in AI development is crucial for creating more versatile and culturally sensitive models rather than allowing a monopoly of values from any single country or culture.2. The conversation highlights fundamental differences in AI regulation across regions, with Europe implementing human-in-the-loop requirements and comprehensive safety measures, while Argentina is reportedly creating frameworks for human-out-of-the-loop AI systems with limited liability. The United States falls somewhere between these approaches, pursuing rapid advancement with fewer regulatory constraints. These divergent approaches reflect different cultural values and priorities, raising important questions about whether AI development should prioritize efficiency and profit or human oversight and control in critical infrastructure sectors.3. Both speakers express concern about brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink, questioning the motivation behind enhancing cognitive abilities when humans already possess multiple forms of intelligence including emotional, cultural, and bodily intelligence. The primary applications demonstrated so far appear limited to video games and potentially military applications, raising questions about whether the technology serves genuine human needs or merely represents an attempt to compete with robots. The speakers emphasize that humans are already complete beings with sophisticated nervous systems, senses, and capabilities that extend far beyond cognitive processing.4. A critical insight emerges around the question of what happens when advanced technologies are removed or turned off. This applies both to brain-computer interfaces and to broader civilization infrastructure dependencies. The speaker shares experiences from 2020 of attempting to live independently in rural California, discovering the challenges of isolation and self-sufficiency. This relates directly to concerns about creating dependencies on technologies where the software ownership and control remain unclear, particularly when those technologies become integrated into human bodies or essential services.5. The discussion reveals concerns about increasing societal division based on access to enhancement technologies. Beyond existing financial inequalities, the speakers worry about a future where people who can afford biological and technological enhancements will advance rapidly while others are left behind. This isn't about disadvantaging certain groups but rather about creating an unbridgeable gap between enhanced early adopters and what they call standard populations who may be intelligent people maintaining traditional ways of life but lacking access to expensive enhancement technologies.6. Matveeva emphasizes the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives, particularly indigenous wisdom and Buddhist traditions, in AI training data. She argues that current AI models reflect the worldviews, values, and hierarchies of their predominantly Western designers, which influences the guidance these models provide to users worldwide. By incorporating wisdom traditions from various cultures, AI models could potentially become wiser and more culturally adaptive, serving diverse populations more effectively rather than imposing a single cultural framework globally.7. The speakers discuss the problematic nature of data collection and ownership in AI training, noting that massive amounts of user data may not actually be improving AI models as expected. There are indications that some AI companies are now specifically requesting users to help train models on their prompts, suggesting that simply collecting billions of conversations hasn't been as useful as anticipated. This raises questions about whether the data users have given away over the past several years has actually made significant impact or is simply buried in chunks of information that aren't effectively connected to meaningful improvements in AI performance.

Is Parvati the Survivor GOAT? Who really owns the title of Survivor's Greatest of All Time? On this special installment of the Survivor GOAT series, Rob Cesternino is joined by Mike Bloom to put Parvati Shallow's legendary gameplay under the microscope. As Survivor continues to celebrate its iconic history, Rob and Mike debate whether Parvati's bold moves, social mastery, and challenge prowess are enough to earn her the GOAT crown. The conversation jumps right into Parvati's resume, covering her historic double idol play in Heroes vs. Villains and her more recent coup in Australian Survivor: Australia vs. the World. Mike makes the case for Parvati's unmatched ability to survive as an ongoing target and how her strategic thinking and charm have set her apart across multiple eras of Survivor. Rob pushes back, questioning moments where Parvati's social game didn't connect and whether her reputation sometimes worked to her disadvantage. Together, they break down Parvati's alliances, challenge dominance, and her impact on the way Survivor is played—not just by women, but by everyone who's followed in her footsteps. Key points of interest discussed include: – Parvati's signature idol play that flipped Heroes vs. Villains on its head – How her relationships and alliances, especially with players like Danielle and Cirie, shaped the outcomes of her seasons – The memorable moment in Australian Survivor when Parvati persuaded an opponent NOT to play an idol for themselves – Debating if her legacy (and even her “celebrity” factor) gives her a modern edge—or makes her more vulnerable – The strengths and shortcomings of Parvati's social game when facing enemies versus allies As Rob and Mike weigh Parvati's place among icons like Sandra, Boston Rob, and Tony, the big question remains: Does Parvati's game truly stand the test of time, or did certain missteps keep her from GOAT status? Will her bold moves—and her reputation—help or hurt her if she returns again?
