Follow along as Kevin Clancy (aka KFC Barstool) and Clem (aka The Clem Report) battle through another season with The New York Mets. Will the Mets finally make history with Uncle Stevie (Steve Cohen) at the helm of the franchise? Or did the Wilpons curse the team and ruin all hope of ever winning a World Series? We can't think that way. Uncle Stevie is the bright light in the middle of the dark. We're going to be an amazing (or at the very least respectable) team this team. We Gotta Believe.

There are 2 younger women sitting around a table at a trap house in Dallas, Texas. They're both Latina with a bit of baby fat in their cheeks - but they're not just some college students looking to buy drugs. They're here to sell them – a lot of them. One of the 2 women – she's a narco with deep connections in Mexico. The other woman? Just a Spanish/English translator for her boss, the narco, and the dealer of the trap house, a man named Love. They need someone to move product for them and since Love has connections in the US - this deal could mean a lump sum of drugs and cash PLUS a lifetime supply from the cartel. He just needs to earn their trust. How? Kill someone. But not just anyone. They already have the target picked out. A 35 year old pediatric dentist named Kendra Hatcher. Why would the cartels want to kill a random dentist for children in Dallas, Texas? Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

My goal in this podcast is to completely change the way you feel about the word delusional. Because most of the time, we use it as an insult… as if believing in something before you have proof means you're disconnected from reality. But I think delusional can be one of the most powerful words there is when it means refusing to let your current circumstances dictate what you believe is possible for your future. It means looking at your life as it is today and deciding that these are facts about today, not instructions for tomorrow. It means believing in the business before it works, walking like you're next before the room agrees, acting like the opportunity is coming before you can see it, and refusing to shrink your dream just because the results haven't caught up yet. Because most people don't fail because they lack talent… they fail because they are too reasonable. They make decisions based on what they've done before, what feels safe, what other people think is realistic, and what their current life seems to prove is possible. Then they pray for a new life and move like the old one. So today, I want to talk about what it actually means to be delusional on purpose: to believe bigger than the evidence, behave in a way that creates new evidence, stop inheriting other people's limitations, and stay in the game long enough for the life you imagined to actually happen. BE DELUSIONAL ABOUT THE VISION. BE RUTHLESS ABOUT THE EXECUTION. This is the distinction. Being delusional does not mean sitting on the couch imagining a better life and expecting Amazon Prime to deliver it. That's fantasy. The kind of delusion I'm talking about is different. Be completely unreasonable about what you believe is possible… and extremely practical about what you need to do today. Maybe you want to be in phenomenal shape. Great. Be delusional enough to believe you can completely transform your body. Then be incredibly non-delusional about what today requires. Train. Walk. Eat enough protein. Sleep. Stop negotiating with yourself. Maybe you want to build a huge business. Be delusional about how big it can become. Then be painfully realistic about what you need to do today. Make the calls. Film the videos. Make the offer. Study what isn't working. Fix it. Post again. Follow up. Get better. That combination is so powerful. Massive belief. Grounded action. YOU CAN'T PRAY FOR A NEW LIFE AND MOVE LIKE THE OLD ONE They pray for a new life and then they move like the old one. How often do we do this? We say… I want to get into the best shape of my life. I want to make way more money. I want to start the company. I want to become an incredible parent. I want to completely change my social circle. I want an extraordinary marriage. I want to write the book. I want to launch the thing. I want to travel. I want to have freedom. I want to wake up excited about my life. Okay. But then Monday morning comes… And we operate exactly like we operated last Monday. Same schedule. Same habits. Same distractions. Same excuses. Same amount of effort. Same standards. Same conversations. Same people influencing us. Same three hours disappearing into our phones. And somehow we expect a radically different result. It doesn't work that way. At some point you have to decide… If I want a life I've never had, I'm probably going to have to behave in ways I never have. That is where being a little delusional becomes your superpower. YOU CANNOT ACT OUTSIDE OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE TO BE TRUE This is a huge part of all of this. Your actions are limited by what you believe is possible. If you don't believe you can do something… how are you going to consistently take the actions that would actually allow you to do it? You probably won't. If deep down you don't believe your business is going to work, that doubt will eventually show up in your behavior. You won't do the outreach. You won't post enough content. You'll avoid the uncomfortable work. You'll procrastinate on the thing you know matters. You'll distract yourself. You'll convince yourself you need another course, another plan, another month of preparation. And then when it doesn't work, you get to say… See? I knew it. That's why your beliefs matter so much. The achievement of your goals is largely dictated by your actions. And your actions are heavily influenced by what you believe is possible. So if you want a radically different outcome, part of the work is expanding what you believe you are capable of creating. MOST PEOPLE ARE HANDING YOU THEIR OWN INSECURITIES This is one of the most important things to understand if you want to do anything big with your life. Most of the time when somebody tells you what isn't possible for you… They aren't actually talking about you. They're talking about themselves. They are giving you the boundaries of their own imagination. They're giving you their fears. Their experiences. Their disappointments. Their risk tolerance. Their insecurities. Their definition of what is realistic. And we absorb it like it's objective truth. Someone says: "That's really hard." "You probably can't make money doing that." "That industry is too saturated." "You're getting a little obsessive." "Do you really think you can do that?" "What if it doesn't work?" Okay. But ask yourself… Is this person qualified to tell me what is possible for my life? Have they built the type of life I'm trying to build? Have they taken the type of risks I'm trying to take? Have they accomplished the thing they're warning me is impossible? Because sometimes the advice isn't wisdom. Sometimes it's fear wearing a very convincing outfit. And you have to get really good at distinguishing between the two. You can listen to smart feedback. You should listen to facts. You should change strategy when necessary. But you do not have to inherit someone else's limitations. STOP ASKING YOUR CURRENT LIFE FOR PERMISSION One of the biggest mistakes we make is looking at our current circumstances for evidence that our future dream is possible. Of course the evidence might not be there yet. You haven't built it yet! Imagine somebody starting a business and saying… "Well, I'm only making $5,000 a month right now, so it would be pretty delusional to think I could make $100,000 a month." Yes! Exactly! Be delusional. Because every person making $100,000 a month once had a month where they made zero. Every person who is incredibly fit once had a first workout. Every person with a massive audience once posted something that six people saw. Every amazing relationship had a first conversation. Every expert was once completely new. Your beginning does not get to vote on your ending. We keep wanting proof before belief. But most extraordinary things happen in the opposite order. You believe. Then you behave differently because of that belief. Then the evidence starts showing up. BORROW EVIDENCE UNTIL YOU HAVE YOUR OWN Here's a practical way to strengthen your belief. Look for people who have already done the thing you want to do. Not so you can compare yourself to them. So you can give your brain evidence. Someone built the company. Someone transformed their body. Someone started over at 45. Someone built an audience from nothing. Someone came back from failure. Someone learned the skill. Someone figured out how to make the money. Someone changed their entire life. They aren't made from different materials than you. They may have different advantages, different circumstances, different timing and different talents. But their existence proves that the category of outcome is possible. Use that. Study people ahead of you. Learn what they did. Stack evidence. Follow your plan. Adjust when necessary. And keep moving. You don't have to blindly tell yourself something is possible. You can go collect proof that it is. GET RID OF THE "JUST IN CASE" ENERGY This was another part that really hit me. We want the blessing… But we keep a just-in-case plan. And I don't mean that you should make irresponsible financial decisions or abandon basic common sense. I mean emotionally. We say we believe in something… But we leave ourselves 900 exits. We don't fully commit. We keep one foot in the old identity. We keep telling everybody, "Well, if it doesn't work…" Why are we spending so much energy rehearsing the failure? What would happen if you spent that energy preparing for success? What would you need if this actually worked? Who would you need to become? What systems would need to be in place? What skills would you need? What help would you need? What would your days look like? That's a much more useful conversation. MAKE YOUR FUTURE SELF THE MAIN CHARACTER Main-character energy gets made fun of online, but there's something really useful buried inside of it. Stop acting like a supporting character in your own life. Stop letting everybody else's schedules, preferences, opinions and expectations determine your entire existence. You get one life. This is it. And sometimes we behave as if we're waiting for someone to come tell us what we're allowed to do with it. You are allowed to change careers. You are allowed to reinvent yourself. You are allowed to stop liking things you used to like. You are allowed to want more. You are allowed to become wildly disciplined. You are allowed to make new friends. You are allowed to build a different routine. You are allowed to start over. You are allowed to decide that the person you have been is not the person you are going to continue being. YOUR PAST IS INFORMATION, NOT A PROPHECY Maybe you've failed before. Okay. That is information. Maybe you've quit things before. Information. Maybe your business didn't work the first time. Information. Maybe you've lost weight and gained it back. Information. Maybe you've chosen the wrong relationships. Information. Maybe you've spent years not being disciplined. Information. But none of that is prophecy. We have this weird tendency to make past behavior part of our identity. "I'm just not consistent." "I've never been good with money." "I always quit." "I'm not athletic." "I'm shy." "I'm not a morning person." "I'm bad at business." Be careful. Because you will defend an identity even when that identity is making you miserable. You can choose a new one. THE TWO THINGS I THINK YOU NEED MOST: BELIEF AND REFUSAL TO QUIT When you strip this whole episode down, I think it comes down to two things. Believe that you can create the outcome. And refuse to quit on yourself. That doesn't mean believing every strategy will work. It doesn't mean believing everything will happen exactly when you want it to. It means believing: I will find a way. That is different. Maybe Plan A fails. Okay. Try Plan B. Maybe that fails too. Learn something. Try again. Maybe the timeline changes. Maybe your original idea evolves. Maybe you realize you need new skills. None of those things mean the dream is dead. The person who keeps adapting has an enormous advantage over the person who needs everything to go right the first time. THE QUESTION TO ASK YOURSELF Here is the question I want you thinking about after this episode: If I were completely delusional about what was possible for my life, what would I go after? And then the second question: What would I do today if I genuinely believed I could figure it out? Those two questions together are magic. Because the first one expands the vision. The second one forces behavior. Maybe you would launch it. Maybe you would finally apply. Maybe you would completely change your routine. Maybe you would hire help. Maybe you would leave something that hasn't been working. Maybe you would train for something huge. Maybe you would post the content. Maybe you would make the call. Maybe you would finally stop playing small because you're worried someone is going to think you think too highly of yourself. Who cares? Think highly of yourself. Believe you can do extraordinary things. You're going to need that belief when it gets hard. BUILD EVIDENCE FOR YOUR DELUSION At first, it feels delusional. Then you start taking action. And every action becomes evidence. You said you were becoming disciplined and then you got up and trained. Evidence. You said you were building the company and then you made 20 sales calls. Evidence. You said you were becoming a creator and then you published for 30 days. Evidence. You said you were changing your health and then you kept promises to yourself for three months. Evidence. Eventually the thing everyone called delusional becomes obvious. And people forget that there was a period when nobody could see it except you. That's how almost every big thing starts. Be unreasonable about the vision. Be disciplined about the execution. Believe you can figure it out. And don't quit.
CC 493: Disclaimer: This episode was recorded in early May 2026, prior to the events that have since unfolded.Kail and Lindsie are still in New York, and somehow a near-miss with an Uber, a hoverboard, and one very angry pedestrian turns into a full debate over who is actually the more dramatic one. Kail recaps her wildly overconfident WWE training experience, including the moment she realized her dreams of becoming the next Bella Twin might require being able to do a forward roll.Then, the two put their friendship to the test with a game of how well they really know each other, calling out irrational pet peeves, bad habits, secret sensitivities, relationship types, and the things they pretend not to care about. Lindsie also has some questions about where 95 school glue sticks disappeared to, Kail admits she is far more bothered than people think, and they agree that quiet beauty appointments should absolutely be normalized.Plus, a Foul Play involving a late-night pizza delivery, period blood, and an unsuspecting delivery driver sends the conversation completely off the rails.Get your Fatherless Behavior Tour Tickets hereFor full videos head towww.youtube.com/@KailandtheChaosTo send in your Foul Plays email us at info@coffeeconvos.comThank you for checking out our sponsors!Skims: Shop our favorite bras and underwear at SKIMS.com.

What if being “delusional” is actually one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make? In this episode, we're breaking down the 3 things you need to create the life you actually want: focus, emotional state, and beliefs. I'm talking about the psychology behind getting clear on what you want, training your brain to look for opportunities, regulating your emotional state, and becoming delusional enough to believe your desired reality is possible before you can see it.If you want to manifest your goals, change your mindset, and become the version of yourself who actually gets what she wants, this episode is for you.Start Here: https://stan.store/respectfullygabbyFollow for more on social media: www.instagram.com/respectfullygabbywww.tiktok.com/@respectfullygabby

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com The Price of Becoming is a USA Today, LA Times, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller! www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guests: My dad, Keith Hawk (also known as Pistol), spent decades leading sales teams at LexisNexis and has taught leadership and public speaking to audiences all over the country. He's the author of multiple books including Get Real Selling. Pistol has that rare ability to be both universally liked and 100% respected by all who know him. My brother AJ Hawk was an All-American linebacker at Ohio State, where he won a national championship. He played 11 years in the NFL, won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers, and retired as the franchise's all-time leading tackler. Now you'll see him every weekday on ESPN as a co-host of the Pat McAfee Show Notes: Key Learnings Be a consciously competent leader. Pistol's framework: you have to understand the processes of the work you're asking people to do, not just the end result. First-line leaders have to know the work at a great level of detail. One tactical way to get there: do after-action reviews on both wins and losses. Know why you win. Know why you lose. Describe both in detail. That's how you earn vivid clarity. Give people vivid clarity. Don't tell your team to "go get the ball carrier." Tell them precisely how to handle each situation. Great leaders are great because they give vivid clarity to the people they're leading on how to do the thing. Stack days. If I can't win by being brilliant, I can win by being able to endure. Just get up and do the thing day after day. Growing up, AJ and I had an unwritten rule: no matter what we did the night before, we were going to the first available lift. You don't have to go to bed early. But you're going to work no matter how you feel. When AJ knew he could do it. Freshman year at Ohio State. A tunnel screen play in camp. He read it perfectly, took off, and delivered a textbook hit on the receiver. That was the moment: "Football's football. These guys are all monsters. But I think I can find a way to make some plays." How to write a book: get up an extra hour early for 200 days in a row and never miss a day. Anybody can do it. You just have to be willing to make the decision, and then follow through, and then follow through again. My scout team Super Bowl. As a scout team QB at Ohio, I picked the Florida game to prepare like it was the real thing. I wore Rex Grossman's number and arm sleeve. Spatted my cleats. I rewrote the practice cards based on real Florida plays. We ended up being in a tight ball game against a national powerhouse. My teammates came back after the game and said practice that week was harder than the actual game. This is when I learned what is possible when prepared for the moment. The Mike Nolan $10 bill story. When AJ was in college, the 49ers head coach Mike Nolan needed to tip a valet and asked if he had any cash. AJ gave him $10. Weeks later, a handwritten note showed up at AJ's college house with a $10 bill inside and a thank-you note from Mike Nolan. Follow-through. Attention to detail. Paying people back. AJ never forgot it. AJ's delusional confidence in Tahoe. AJ had an unlucky drive that left him 254 yards from the pin, in the first cut. Jack Wagner was still on the green in front of us. AJ pulled out a four iron. I told him to wait. He said, "I'm just gonna go, and hit it on the green." He flushed it. Landed on the green 25 feet from Jack. There's power in belief, speaking things into existence, and then doing them. Irrational self-confidence isn't irrational. Pistol quoted Bill Simmons: "As long as you believe it's possible, it's possible." Regardless of what it is. My biggest risk: leaving corporate at the end of 2017. I had a VP of sales job, and I left it all to bet on this podcast. Miranda believed in it maybe even more than I did. That combination made it possible. Pistol's biggest risk: August 1st, 1999. He left LexisNexis after 14 years to go be a public speaker. Two years later, on August 1st, 2001, he came back. Both times on his birthday. His career jumped five notches on his return. Sometimes you have to leave to come back better. AJ's biggest risk: hiding a broken wrist during a Super Bowl run. AJ refused an X-ray or MRI so they couldn't shut him down. The trainer taped and casted it. He played the whole season, won the Super Bowl, and made the Pro Bowl. He had surgery to repair it days after the Super Bowl. The best players are consistent. When I'd talk to AJ's teammates in Green Bay about him, they used the unsexy words: "Most consistent guy on the team. First guy in the weight room. Will be where he's supposed to be on every play." He did that for eleven years. Show up. Every single day. Pistol said it: "Anybody that's been great at something didn't get great on the first day, but they did the right types of things along the way." Don't grade your kid's games. Grade the effort. "Did you play hard? That's all I care about." AJ said his family doesn't have good or bad games. There's only one question after the game: did you play hard or did you not? Show them what "hard" actually looks like. Sometimes kids think they're playing as hard as they possibly can when they're not. AJ's brother-in-law Jack Johnson reminded him of this. You can't just say "play hard." You have to describe it. You have to show them. Otherwise they don't know what the standard is. Model it. Don't tell. Leadership is caught more than it's taught. My primary role as a dad and a husband is to be the model. If I have low standards, my kids will have low standards. If I show up every day, they'll learn what showing up looks like. Do all the work. Then trust your instincts. AJ's approach to football. Reinstall the defense from scratch every year. Take fresh notes. So when it's game time, you don't have to think. You just play. The Dinner Guest Draft: Every hundredth episode, we do a draft. This one: pick five living dinner guests. AJ's table: Michael Jordan Charles Barkley Arnold Schwarzenegger Palmer Luckey Denzel Washington My table: (All dream guests for The Learning Leader Show) Dave Chappelle Dave Matthews Mike Rowe Doris Kearns Goodwin Michael Lewis Pistol's table: (All former guests of the show) Admiral William McRaven Dan Patrick Nikki Glaser Stephen M.R. Covey Oz Pearlman Champagne Moments a Year From Now My dad: Celebrating his 71st birthday dinner with all of us. AJ: To keep being present with his kids while they're still young. To slow down and enjoy it. Me: A good year of college for the older girls in our family. Reflection Questions Where in your work are you giving people vivid clarity? Or are you handing them broad general directives and hoping they figure it out? What is your version of the Mike Nolan $10 bill story? What small act of follow-through could you do this week that someone will remember for years? Where are you being performative right now, doing something for the audience instead of doing it because you want to be great? What would change if you only did it when nobody was watching?

We are officially sitting on the precipice of the Greatest Rivalry Tour — South Africa versus New Zealand — and, quite frankly, everybody is starting to lose their minds.The All Blacks are in South Africa. The tour is happening. The hype machine is fully operational. And with the first Test still a good few weeks away, we have reached that wonderful stage where there is almost no actual rugby to analyse, so naturally everybody is just speculating about absolutely everything.The South Africans, in particular, are talking an extraordinary amount of shit about how dominant they're going to be. In some quarters, the All Blacks have already been written off completely.And then you've got people like Tony, who for reasons that may or may not be grounded in reality, are starting to feel... quietly confident.Is that confidence justified?Is it delusion?We'll find out soon enough.Until then, this podcast is basically speculation about speculation, followed by some more speculation, as everybody gets increasingly worked up about a series that hasn't even bloody started yet.There is, however, some actual rugby to talk about.The All Blacks take on the Stormers this weekend in the first little taste of the Greatest Rivalry Tour. What sort of team do the All Blacks put out? What do the Stormers look like without their Springboks? And why, despite all of that, are we still weirdly nervous about it?Meanwhile, the Boks are just popping over to Argentina for a casual one-off Test against a slightly depleted Los Pumas side — which, let's be honest, they will probably absolutely rinse.But all of that is merely the entrée.The real thing is coming.The All Blacks are in South Africa. The Springboks are waiting. The shit-talking has begun. The nerves are building. The optimism is getting dangerously high.It's stressful. It's exciting.And it is officially on like Donkey Kong.
In this episode, Brig challenges the idea of being "delusional" when chasing big dreams. She asks us to enter a season of remembering. She looks at her past and the need to see proof of earlier wins. She states that many people do not lack belief; they simply forget who they are. Brig talks about changing the podcast name from The Black Woman Stress Solution to The UNKAGED™ Woman. She wants women to break free from rules and find their true power. She notes that humility often hides boldness. This makes women hide their wins and forget their strength. What You Will Learn How to build a file of past wins and hard work. The gap between feeling sure and knowing your worth from experience. Why you must stop saying sorry for your success and own your truth. How to make a short phrase to help you when you feel doubt. Why small wins matter on the road to greatness. Why This Matters Brig reminds us that trust in ourselves is not a fake dream. It is proof of what we can do. By looking at past wins, we fight self-doubt and face new tests. This show reminds us we have a real record of beating hard times. Take Action Start your own proof file. Write down every win and hard time you beat, no matter how small. Use this list to show yourself your strength when doubt creeps in. Find a short phrase that fits who you are and say it before hard tasks to stay firm in your truth.

Send us Fan MailI am your host, Neo Griot.Welcome to Episode 293 of Rational Black Thought, the podcast where we examine politics, religion and culture from a Black, progressive, skeptical and unapologetically rational point of view.This week's title comes from Peter Tosh's song "Equal Rights": "Everyone is crying out for peace, yes / None is crying out for justice."Tosh was pointing to a distinction that governments, political parties, police departments, churches and every other institution with power desperately want us to ignore. Peace and justice are not the same thing. Peace may simply mean that the streets are quiet, the demonstrations have ended, the dead have been buried and the institution responsible for the harm has returned to business as usual. Peace may mean Black voters continue supporting a political party without making demands forceful enough to disrupt its priorities. Peace may mean church members keep giving while refusing to ask where the money goes. Peace may mean a suffering man stops asking God why his children are dead and accepts that divine authority is beyond examination.Institutions prefer peace because peace often requires nothing from them beyond waiting for public anger to exhaust itself. Justice is more disruptive because it requires evidence, explanation, restitution and accountability. Justice asks who held the power, who made the decision, who carried out the harm and who benefited when the people who were injured were finally persuaded to become quiet.When those questions are raised, institutions suddenly become philosophical. We are told that the situation is complicated, that we do not have all the facts, that leadership requires difficult choices, that we should trust the process or that God works in mysterious ways. Every institution seems to discover complexity at the precise moment accountability arrives.But power does not become moral merely because it is powerful. Authority does not become legitimate merely because it is traditional, and silence should never be mistaken for justice. The central question this week is therefore simple: when institutions cause harm, permit harm or benefit from harm, who has the right to demand an explanation?The answer is everybody.Intro:Quote of the Week: James Baldwin Unmasking the News: Democracy Watch: Lying or Delusional, Either Way He Is Dangerous First to Vote, Last to Collect In God We Trust, but Check the Bank Records Good News: Building the Children Who Will Build the Future Bible Study with an Atheist: The Book of Job: When God Moved Against an Innocent Man Reflections and Call to Action:Closing/Outro: Power Concedes Nothing without a Demand...
Hellooo Mossies, cancel the ab workout because this episode will have you laughing your way to that 6-pack. The hilarious, awe-inspiring, gorgeous Prashasti Singh walked into the MOS studio and did not stop delivering for a single second. Prashasti shared her workout woes and the struggles of being a celeb at the gym. We tried to bring up role models for Indian women and somehow ended up with an iconic story about a microwave donation scheme. Prashasti then gave us a sneak peek into what it really means to come to terms with being single, thriving in your 30s on your own terms, and her very specific ritual of pining before channeling it into comedy gold.

Hi everyone,In this episode I'm talking about the concept of delusional optimism...Have you ever noticed that your mind automatically predicts the worst?What if, instead of accidentally expecting disappointment, you started expecting things to work out in your favour?In this episode, we're exploring the idea of delusional optimism—choosing to expect positive outcomes before you have proof. You'll discover why your brain is constantly making predictions about the future, how those expectations shape your behaviour, and why research suggests optimistic people are more likely to persevere, recover from setbacks and achieve their goals.If you've ever found yourself thinking, "What if it all goes wrong?" this episode will encourage you to ask a much more empowering question:"What if it all works out?"To discuss 1:1 coaching - email victoria@victoriamaskell.comTo join my membership click hereWebsite: www.victoriamaskell.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/victoria.maskell
In this special episode of Pod Save the World, Tommy and Ben speak in front of a live audience at the Aspen Security Forum.First, Trump delivers a rambling speech on election security that offers no new evidence, overstates the threat from China, and is laying the groundwork for Republicans to question the validity of the midterm elections. Then the guys turn their attention to the foreign policy establishment itself, taking on some of the more eyebrow-raising statements from fellow panelists at the forum — including Condoleezza Rice — and making the case that the blob needs to reckon seriously with its own failures: on regime change, on ignoring public opinion, and on dismissing anti-war voices rather than engaging with them. They also lay out their vision for reimagining American foreign policy, including more transparency around Washington think tanks, stronger lobbying disclosure rules, a bigger State Department, a smaller defense budget, and returning more war-making responsibility to Congress. Then in the second half, Ben and Tommy sit down with Annalena Baerbock, President of the United Nations General Assembly, to discuss the UN's near-total absence from negotiations in today's major conflicts, what meaningful reform of the institution would actually look like, and how alarmed the world should be about the rise of Germany's far-right AfD party.For a transcript of this episode, email transcripts@crooked.com
SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWDonald Trump delivered another speech. I forced myself to watch every minute of it so you don't have to. Trust me… it wasn't easy. What started as a routine presidential address quickly became something far stranger, filled with grand claims, familiar grievances, and moments that left me wondering whether I was watching politics or pure performance art.From promises that America has never been stronger to declarations about healthcare, the economy, Iran, and election integrity, I break down the speech the way only A World Gone Mad can…with humor, sarcasm, frustration, and a healthy dose of “Did Trump really just say that?” There were moments I laughed, moments I cringed, and several moments where I honestly questioned what country Donald Trump believes he's describing.But beneath the absurdity is something far more serious. Trump's speech quickly shifts from exaggerated claims, to elections, China, classified documents, and the coming midterms. That's where this episode takes a hard turn…from comedy into a discussion about why rhetoric matters, why words have consequences, and why this speech deserves more attention than a quick headline or social media clip.I also ask a question I've been asking this audience for a long time: At what point do we stop shaking our heads and start speaking up? Whether you agree with me, disagree with me, or fall somewhere in between, I want to hear from you. Your voice matters, and silence isn't much of a strategy when the stakes feel this high.Finally, I close on a personal note. It's my birthday weekend, and Natacha and I are stepping away from the lunacy for a couple of days to recharge before returning Monday. Sometimes the healthiest thing we can do is hit pause, spend time with the people we love, and come back ready for whatever insanity is waiting next.If you're looking for another sanitized political recap, this isn't it. If you're looking for sharp commentary, plenty of humor, genuine concern, and an honest reaction to one of the week's most talked-about speeches, then pull up a chair.

Is it a fait accompli that Zac Lomax will join the PNG Chiefs? He's taken a big pay cut after leaving rugby league, and will no doubt try and recoup his losses. Josh Morris joins Adam Hawse to look at Lomax, as well as discuss Jarome Luai's reaction to being unwanted at the Tigers. Plus, rugby league should always look at temporary contracts to allow departing stars like Mark Nawaqanitawase a chance to play for the Kangaroos, and despite what they say, the Broncos are no hope of playing finals footy.

In today's episode I'm breaking down the exact formula I use to set goals that most people would call crazy, and why that's actually the point. I'm sharing the two things that have to be true at the same time for it to work: you have to believe the goal is possible, but you also have to be completely unattached to whether you actually hit it. I get into how I'm applying this right now to my new company's goal of seven figures in a year, why I don't need the whole plan before I go after something big, and why not hitting a goal is often the biggest gift in disguise. If you've ever had a goal that scared you a little and made everyone around you say "that's crazy," this one's for you.

We are called to spiritual warfare, to take our stand against the enemy.
Remember the Menendez brothers? Those two charming lads who decided Mom and Dad were worth more dead than alive? Democrats spent years raising their own little Menendez.Now the kids see the parents as the oppressors.If authority is evil, then let's dispatch the first authoritarians. The only way to fix anything was to burn it all down and take the inheritance. Now the “kids” have grown up, they've got the keys, and the parents are the ones triple-locking everything while whispering, “Please don't come for us next.”Democrats have almost no idea who they are anymore. They look at their own reflection and see AOC screaming about Democrat Socialism like it's the Sermon on the Mount, or the next radical firebrand who just knocked off a moderate because he wasn't sufficiently ashamed of America. The party used to be slightly annoying at Thanksgiving, now show up with a bad attitude and 10 days of body odor wonder why nobody wants to sit next to them.The lunacy isn't just “crazy” anymore. It's clinical. These folks don't merely disagree with sanity — they walk right past it, don't recognize it. We used to say they were out of touch. But it's far worse than that.I've seen the stats on how many of these people are under some form of psychiatric care or report serious mental health issues. It's not a little bump. It's a mountain. They're not just sad or anxious — they're zealots. Crazed, True Believer zealots for causes that would make a normal person back away slowly. They treat every policy like it's a religious sacrament, and if you question it, you're not just wrong — you're evil.What do you even call this? Delusional? Sure, but that feels too generous. In psychology there's a term: anosognosia. It's when someone is so deep in their mental illness they literally cannot see it. The brain won't let them recognize their own symptoms. They think the hallucinations are real, the paranoia is justified, and everyone else is the crazy one. Sound familiar? That's the modern Democratic Party in one fancy Greek word. They've got collective anosognosia so advanced they genuinely believe their open-border policies that let murderers and rapists stroll in are “compassionate.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Please enjoy this encore of Hacking Humans. This week, our hosts Dave Bittner, Joe Carrigan, and Maria Varmazis (also host of the T-Minus Space Daily show) are back sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We've got some follow-up from listener Kajetan, who recalled a run-in with a scammer in Paris posing as a mute fundraiser—and says he performed a "miracle" by crossing out his name, prompting the supposedly mute woman to suddenly start yelling at him. Maria has the story on how small businesses in Toronto, like the family-run Souvlaki Hut and Pippins Tea Company, were shocked to discover that thieves exploited vulnerabilities in their point of sale terminals to issue themselves thousands in fraudulent refunds—exposing serious flaws in how these machines are secured. Dave's story is on a Stanford-led study that found popular AI therapy bots, including ChatGPT and commercial mental health platforms, often respond inappropriately to serious mental health issues—fueling delusions, validating harmful thoughts, and failing to follow basic therapeutic guidelines—raising urgent concerns about their use as replacements for human therapists. Joe follows the story on a sweeping federal investigation into Minnesota's Housing Stabilization Services program, where agents raided homes and businesses tied to an alleged multi-million-dollar Medicaid fraud scheme that exploited vulnerable residents and billed taxpayers for housing support services that were never provided. Our catch of the day is on a patient scammer who spent five months building trust before claiming to send a $700K inheritance payout locked in a lawsuit—complete with a fake video of a safe and a shady tracking number—only to demand €15,000 in "customs fees," a scam the Redditor thankfully saw through before handing over any money.

It's a great day to be CONSERVATIVE. Folks, the Democratic Party has become the parents who now sleep with the bedroom door locked, a knife under the pillow, and a loaded gun pointed straight at the door. Why?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. With US President Donald Trump desperately attempting to end the war with Iran, Horovitz reviews the mixed messaging delivered by the US leader as he fawns over the Tehran regime's "nice, new" leaders and signs a "peace" deal that doesn't achieve any war goals but that he may think will keep alive his dream of the Nobel Peace Prize. Horovitz notes that the US readiness to authorize an Iranian role in Lebanon is undermining the unique readiness of the Beirut government to work with Israel toward a diplomatic, long-term arrangement. Rather than disconnecting Iran from Hezbollah -- an explicit war goal -- the US is essentially partnering with Iran regarding Lebanon's future, dooming the Israel-Lebanon talks it is currently hosting in Washington, DC. Our discussion moves on to Tuesday's New York City primaries, in which two virulently anti-Israel Democratic Socialists of America candidates and one progressive Democrat won elections against more established candidates, further bolstering Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his anti-Zionist politics in the rapidly changing city. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates. For further reading: In Trump’s delusions of peace with Iran and efforts to bully Israel, dark echoes of appeasement Trump’s deal is a catastrophic capitulation to Iran’s aggressors, leaves Israel vulnerable and constrained American pro-Israel activists may have just had their worst week ever Mamdani-backed primary sweep further cements anti-Zionist politics in NYC Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
