Uncertainty is everywhere right now. From world events to our personal lives, it feels like we're all trying to make decisions without a map. In this episode, I'm flying unscripted and talking candidly about how I've been navigating uncertain times—emotionally, mentally, and practically.I share a story about a friend stuck in doomsday thinking… and how I recognized myself in her fears. I also unpack the two common extremes we lean toward when the future feels shaky: chronic catastrophe thinking and delusional confidence. Been on both ends—neither feels great.What if the certainty you're clinging to is actually holding you back?Inside this episode:How our brains fake certainty to calm chaosWhy worst-case scenario thinking feels safer but actually makes things worseThe surprising power of “delusional confidence” (and why it works)What I'm personally doing to ground myself through this weird seasonHow to shift from inspired chicken

I had no idea how much I needed this conversation with actor, producer, director, writer, and musician Fiona Rene. In just one hour she taught me the value of believing in yourself above all else, more than anyone else, almost to the point of delusion. You might know Fiona Rene from her roles on Lincoln Lawyer, NCIS: Hawaii, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and her leading role in the #1 CBS show Tracker, but Fiona and I immediately connected over our Oklahoma roots. In this ONE THING conversation - where I ask my guests about the ONE THING they would tell you - we talk about self-confidence, the balance between "being" and "doing" and why believing in yourself above all else is the key to success.

Dean Smith says the trade deal announcement doesn't change very much, since details are so thin on the ground. “[The tariff war] has just barely started…This is the new normal we have to get used to.” He expects rates to climb over the next few years and thinks investors should reduce their exposure to interest rate volatility. Dean calls the idea that the Fed will cut rates this year “delusional.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

MORE UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY AI SLOP SHOWNOTES. Peter Hoistead? Thanks Gemini. Thanks listeners. We love you. Buy CBCo it's excellent beer. The Conditional Release Program - Episode 185: Federal Election 2025 Post-SpecialHosts: Joel Hill & Jack the Insider (Peter Hoistead)Overall Theme: A deep dive into the results and implications of the 2025 Australian Federal Election, focusing on Labor's historic victory, the Coalition's catastrophic loss, and the performance of minor parties and independents.Key Segments & Talking Points:(Part 1 - Approximate Timestamps based on original transcript, subject to adjustment)[00:00:00 - 00:01:23] Introduction & Election OverviewJoel laments being banned from betting on the election, particularly Labor's strong odds.Jack notes Joel would have won significantly, especially on Labor at $2.60.Historic Labor Win: Anthony "Albo" Albanese leads Labor to a significant victory.Libs sent into an "existential crisis."Albo is the first PM to be re-elected since John Howard in 2004.Largest Labor victory on a two-party preferred basis since John Curtin in 1943 (votes still being counted).Crucial Stat: The Albanese government is the only first-term government to have a swing towards it in Australian political history.[00:01:23 - 00:03:38] Significance of the Swing to LaborPrevious first-term governments (Howard '98, Hawke '84, Fraser '77, Whitlam '74, Menzies) all had swings against them when seeking a second term.Albo's government achieved an approximate 4% swing towards it (votes still being counted).Discussion points: Where it went right for Labor, and wrong for the Coalition, Greens, and Teals.Far-right "Cookers" performed terribly. Pauline Hanson's One Nation (FONY) might see minor representation.[00:03:38 - 00:05:11] Patreon & Sponsor Shout-outsReminder to support the podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/theconditionalreleaseprogram (for as little as $5/month).CB Co. Beer: Praised for their IPA and new Hazy XPA. Competition to win $100,000. Use code CRP10 for 10% off at cbco.beer.[00:05:11 - 00:08:52] Polling Inaccuracies & Liberal OptimismReiteration of the ~4% swing to Labor.Comparison of final poll predictions vs. actual results:Freshwater: Labor 51.5% (was Liberal pollster, told Libs they were close).Newspoll: 52.5% (Labor used their private polling).Essential: 53.5%.YouGov: 52.2% - 52.9%.Polling companies significantly underestimated Labor's vote, especially those advising the Coalition.The misplaced optimism at Liberal Party HQ on election night.[00:08:52 - 00:16:00] Specific Seat Results & Labor GainsGilmore (NSW South Coast): Fiona Phillips (Labor) won 55-45 (3-4% swing to her), despite Andrew Constance (Liberal) being the favourite.Bennelong (Howard's old seat): Jeremy Laxail (Labor) won 59-41 against Scott Young (problematic Liberal candidate), a 10% swing to Labor.Parramatta: Andrew Charlton (Labor) won 62-38 (was 53.47 in 2022).Aston (Victoria): Labor won in a historic by-election previously, now a 4% swing to the Labor candidate, winning 53-47.Boothby (SA): Louise Miller-Frost (Labor) achieved an 8% swing, holding the seat 61-39.Tangney (WA): Sam Lim (Labor, ex-cop & dolphin trainer) secured a 3% swing, now 56-44. Large Bhutanese diaspora noted.Leichhardt (FNQ): Labor's Matt Smith won 57-43 after Warren Entsch (LNP) retired (10% swing).Hunter (NSW): Dan Repiccioli (Labor) re-elected with 44% primary vote (5% swing on primary). Fended off Nats and One Nation (Stuart Bonds' inflated vote claims by "One Australia" on X).[00:16:00 - 00:18:49] Diversifying Parliament & Women in PoliticsPraise for non-lawyer backgrounds in Parliament (e.g., Dan Repiccioli, Sam Lim).Critique of the typical lawyer/staffer/union pathway.Labor's success in diversifying candidate backgrounds and increasing female representation.Liberals struggling with female representation despite some efforts. Discussion of potential quotas in the Liberal party and the backlash it would cause.Margaret Thatcher quote: "If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman."[00:18:49 - 00:27:26] The Teals: Mixed Results & ChallengesInitial appearance of a Teal "romp" on election night.Bradfield (NSW North Shore): Teal Nicolette Boele (Burle/Bola) behind Liberal Giselle Kaptarian by 178 votes (updated during recording).Goldstein (VIC): Tim Wilson (Liberal) leading Zoe Daniel (Teal) by 925 votes. Wilson is likely back. Joel comments on Wilson's IPA association vs. his "gay, wet, mediocre, progressive side." Jack notes Wilson often highlights his sexuality.Jim Chalmers' quip about Tim Wilson: "Popular for all those who haven't met him."Kooyong (VIC): Monique Ryan (Teal) leading by 1002 votes (97,000 counted, ~8,000 postals to go). Redistribution added parts of Toorak, making it harder for Ryan.Liberal candidate Amelia Hamer: "Trust fund renter" controversy, owns multiple properties, London bolthole.Corflute wars in Kooyong: Hamer campaign's excessive use of A-frames, obstructing walkways, went to Supreme Court over council limits. Jack doubts the impact of corflutes.[00:27:26 - 00:31:28] Why Did the Teals Go Backwards?Liberal party invested heavily in Kooyong and Goldstein.Voters potentially preferring a local member who is a Minister or part of the government.Redistribution impact in Kooyong (addition of Toorak).Zali Steggall's success in Warringah partly due to "fruitcake" Liberal opponents like Katherine Deves.[00:31:28 - 00:40:37] The Greens: Significant LossesLost all lower house seats. Adam Bandt (leader) gone from Melbourne.Lost Brisbane (Max Chandler Mather) and Griffith back to Labor.Ryan (South Brisbane): Likely Labor win in a three-way contest.Greens will have no lower house representation.Key Reason: Housing policy standoff. Accused of holding up Labor's housing bill for over a year (affecting funding for domestic violence victims, homeless), pursuing "perfection" over compromise.[00:40:37 - 00:49:57] Deep Dive: Housing Policy ChallengesA major challenge for the Albanese government. Not an easy fix.Supply-side changes could devalue existing homes or slow growth, angering homeowners.Joel's view: Subsidized housing (rent-to-own, means-tested) wouldn't touch the high-end market.Negative gearing: Not a quick fix; removing it overnight unlikely to change much; issue is supply.Homeowner expectations of property value growth.Construction industry at full tilt; skills shortages.CFMEU's role in skilled migration for construction.Free TAFE importance for reskilling/upskilling.Linton Besser (Media Watch) criticism of Labor "building" houses when they reconditioned unlivable ones – Joel argues this still increases supply.[00:49:57 - 00:59:16] Deep Dive: Childcare Policy & Global Economic HeadwindsChildcare another area for government focus.Labor's childcare policy: Rebates for high earners (e.g., $325k combined income).High cost of childcare; need for better pay for childcare workers (Labor delivered a pay spike).Ownership of childcare centers (Peter Dutton reference) and profit-making. Call for more public childcare.Uncertain global economic times, Trump tariffs.Port of Los Angeles imports down by one-third.US Q1 economy shrank 0.3%; recession likely.Japan, China, South Korea meeting to discuss tariff responses; hold significant US debt. Japanese warning to US re: trade negotiations.[00:59:16 - 01:07:13] What Went Wrong for the Coalition? Answer: Everything.Gas Price Fixing Policy: Cobbled together, no consultation with industry (unlike Rudd's mining tax failure), potentially unconstitutional (taxing for benefit of some states over others).Work From Home Policy Disaster:Conceived by Jane Hume and Peter Dutton, no Shadow Cabinet consultation.Initial messaging: All Commonwealth public servants, then just Canberra.Jane Hume's media run: Claimed all WFH is 20% less productive, citing a study.Implied WFH employees are "bludgers," alienating a vast number of voters (including partners of tradies).Labor capitalized on this after door-knocking feedback. Policy eventually walked back.Defence Policy: Released in the last week, vague promise to spend 3% of GDP, no specifics on acquisitions. Andrew Hastie (Shadow Defence) reportedly wants out of the portfolio.Fuel Excise Policy: Halving fuel excise for a year. Took a week for Dutton to do a photo-op at a service station. Fuel prices had already dropped.Melbourne Airport Rail Link Funding: Announced at a winery.Vehicle Emissions Policy: Clarifications issued within 48 hours.Generally a shambolic campaign, studied for years to come.[01:07:13 - 01:08:55] The Nationals & Nuclear Policy FalloutNats trying to spin a better result than Libs, but didn't win Calare (Andrew Gee back as Indy).Nuclear Policy: Coalition embarrassed to discuss it. Nats insist on keeping it.Policy originated as a way for Libs to get Nats to support Net Zero by 2050.Massive costs and timelines: Hinkley Point C (UK) example – 65 billion pounds, years of delays. US Georgia plant similar.Legislative hurdles: Repealing Howard-era ban, state-level bans (even LNP QLD Premier Chris O'Fooley against it).State-funded, "socialist" approach due to lack of private investment.[01:08:55 - 01:15:49] Coalition Campaign Failures & SpokespeopleDebate on government vs. private industry running power.Lack of effective Coalition spokespeople: Susan Ley sidelined, Jane Hume promoted. Angus Taylor perceived as lazy.Angus Taylor's past water license scandal ("Australia's Watergate," Cayman Islands structure).[01:15:49 - 01:28:03] Demographics: A Tide Against the LiberalsWomen: Voted ~58-42 for Labor (two-party preferred), worse than under Morrison. Libs failed to address issues like climate, domestic violence.Language Other Than English at Home (LOTE): 60% backed Labor (Redbridge polling, Cos Samaras). Indian and Chinese diaspora significant, impacting Deakin and Menzies (Keith Wallahan, a moderate, lost Menzies).Gen Z & Millennials (18-45): Now outnumber Baby Boomers (60+), voted 60-40 Labor (TPP).Preferencing: Labor "gamed the system well"; Liberals' deal with One Nation backfired in messaging to urban areas.Strategy Failure: Liberals walked away from "heartland" Teal-lost seats, wrongly believing voters were wrong. Dutton's 2023 claim of Libs being "party of regional Australia" failed. No connection or network in targeted outer-suburban/regional seats.Female Pre-selection: Aspiration of 50% in 2019, achieved 34% in 2025. "Male, white, middle-class, mediocre."Sarah Henderson Example: Lost Corangamite in 2019, returned via Senate vacancy. Criticized as a "waste of space," arrogant for seeking re-entry.Both parties have taken safe seats for granted (factional gifts), but Labor learning. Example: Batman (now Cooper, Jed Carney) won back from Greens after better candidate selection.[01:28:03 - 01:36:42] Fond Farewells: Election CasualtiesPeter Dutton: Lost his seat of Dickson (held 20+ years), got "smashed." Likely preferred losing seat to facing party room fallout. Gracious concession speech. Australia's strong electoral process praised (democracy sausage, volunteers, AEC, peaceful concession).Michael Sukkar (Deakin, VIC): "Unpleasant piece of work."Recount of February incident: Sukkar, at Dutton's prompting, used a point of order to cut off Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus (Jewish) during an emotional speech about anti-Semitism and his family's Holocaust connection (Shiloh story). Dreyfus called Sukkar "disgusting." Sukkar moved "that the member no longer be heard." Widely condemned.Gerard Rennick (QLD Senator): Anti-COVID vaccine, spread misinformation (diabetes, dementia links). Jack recounts being attacked by Rennick's "poison monkeys" on X after writing about it. Rennick gone, likely self-funded much of his campaign.(Part 2 - Timestamps restart from 00:00:00 but are a continuation, add ~1 hour 36 mins 50 secs to these for continuous flow)[01:36:50 - 01:44:07] The Fractured Hard Right ("Cookers") - Dismal PerformanceGenerally went nowhere electorally.UAP (United Australia Party) / Trumpeter Patriots (John Ruddock): 2.38% in NSW Senate (down from UAP's 3.2% in 2022). Less money spent than previous Clive Palmer campaigns.Libertarian Democrats (Lib Dems): 1.99% in NSW Senate. Controversial name didn't help. Alliance with H.A.R.T (formerly IMOP, Michael O'Neill) and Gerard Rennick's People First Party.Monica Smit's calls to "unite" contrasted with these groups already forming alliances without her.These three parties combined got less than 2% in NSW. Lib Dems

Was Lori Vallow Evil or Delusional? Therapist Breaks It Down What happens when a mother convinces herself her children are zombies—and that killing them is an act of divine love? Lori Vallow Daybell's story isn't just another twisted true crime—it's a deep dive into the psychology of delusion, religious obsession, and manipulation. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins us to unpack how Lori's disturbing belief system merged with narcissistic traits and collided with Chad Daybell's paranoia—leading to a series of deaths cloaked in apocalyptic visions. This conversation explores how someone who seemed like an ordinary, if eccentric, mom became convinced she was a goddess tasked with a deadly mission.

What if the Divine Muse and our Ancestors are trying to communicate with us and live vicariously through us from the Delusional realm? What if they are urging us toward our delusional aspirations through dreams, nature, intuitive promptings, and synchronicities?

Inside The Dangerous & Delusional World Of Lori Vallow Daybell's New Trial Is it ever wise to act as your own attorney when you're on trial for allegedly orchestrating your husband's murder? Lori Vallow-Daybell—yes, the same one already convicted for the murders of her children—is back in the legal spotlight, and this time she's defending herself in Arizona for the alleged murder conspiracy of Charles Vallow. In a twist that sounds more like satire than courtroom strategy, she's ditched the lawyers and taken the DIY route. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to unpack just how spectacularly wrong this could go. We're talking word salad defense tactics, courtroom decorum being punted out the window, and the very real risk of mistrials stacking up like bad decisions at a Vegas wedding. Can this trial even make it to a verdict, or will Lori derail it every step of the way? And should prosecutors even consider calling Chad Daybell to the stand, or would that just throw more gasoline on this already blazing circus? If your murder defense plan hinges on vibes and delusions of divinity, should we be surprised when everything catches fire? What happens when the legal system collides with pure chaos?

Breaking Down Lori Vallow Daybell's Delusional Role As Her Own Attorney A Dead Man, a Doomsday Plan, and 47 Minutes of Silence Charles Vallow was shot twice inside a house he paid for. He lay dead on the floor for 47 minutes before anyone bothered to call 911. And now, the woman once married to him—Lori Vallow Daybell—is on trial for conspiring to make that happen. This isn't Idaho. It's Maricopa County, Arizona. But the woman at the center of the story is the same: convicted murderer, former beauty queen, five-time wife, and self-proclaimed spiritual warrior who believed people could become “zombies” possessed by evil spirits. In this trial, Lori isn't just the defendant—she's also her own attorney. Representing herself, cross-examining witnesses, and objecting to testimony as she fights charges that she orchestrated the murder of her estranged husband in 2019. According to prosecutors, Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles so she could cash in on a $1 million life insurance policy and clear the way to marry Chad Daybell—an LDS fiction author and her apocalyptic soulmate. They say this wasn't spontaneous. It was a plan rooted in delusion and tied up in scripture. Days before the shooting, Lori texted Alex: “It's all coming to a head this week. I will be like Nephi, I am told, and so will you.” In LDS scripture, Nephi is known for killing a man because God commanded it. On the morning of July 11, 2019, Charles texted Lori's other brother, Adam, with a warning: “They're planning something.” Adam replied, “Absolutely.” Charles showed up at Lori's Chandler home to pick up their son, JJ. He never made it out alive. The first shot went through his chest and pierced his heart. He fell. Then, according to testimony and forensic evidence, a second shot was fired from above, traveling downward into the floor, where the bullet lodged in a baseboard across the room. Maricopa County firefighter Scott Cowden testified that when he arrived, Charles was already cold. No pulse, no breath, no attempt at CPR. Cowden, who teaches CPR for a living, said he knew right away no one had tried to save Charles. When he started compressions, he felt the telltale crunch of an untouched chest cavity. It's the grim equivalent of walking into a house and smelling smoke—you just know. What Cowden didn't see? Blood. Aside from the pooling around Charles's body, there was nothing. No trail down the hall. No mess in the kitchen. No bloody towels, napkins, or paper—despite Alex's claim that he'd been holding his bleeding head. Cowden said the paper towel Alex had was mostly clean. He also noticed Alex didn't look injured. Didn't act it either. He described him as calm, nonchalant. Sunglasses still perched on his head, perfectly balanced and unbothered—odd for someone who supposedly just wrestled with a former semi-pro baseball player. Then there's the silence. Lori left the house with JJ and Tylee, taking Charles's rental car. She went to Burger King, then Walgreens, then dropped JJ off at school. She spoke with Alex twice while out. Still, neither of them called for help until 47 minutes had passed. Lori told officers she fled the scene in fear. That Charles had come at her with a bat. That Alex had to step in. But investigators say the entire story was staged. In court, prosecutors pointed to Lori's motive: Charles had secretly changed the beneficiary on his life insurance policy months earlier. Lori was out. His sister, Kay Woodcock, was in. After Charles's death, Lori called the insurance company—and only then learned she wasn't getting the money. She texted Chad Daybell: “He changed it in March. It was probably Ned before we got rid of him.” “Ned” was the name she gave the evil spirit she believed had overtaken Charles. Witnesses will testify that Lori claimed Charles was possessed and needed to be “cast out.” That she led a group of women in a spiritual exorcism. That she talked about drugging Charles with JJ's crushed pills. That Alex openly said he wanted Charles dead. One witness, Christina, said Lori brushed off her concerns by saying she was joking. A month later, Charles was dead. Now Lori sits in the courtroom—wearing a navy suit, flipping through notes, calling witnesses, and sparring with the prosecution. When firefighter Cowden testified that no CPR had been given, she pressed him. Asked whether cracking the sternum was guaranteed. Asked about blood patterns. Asked about technique. But Cowden didn't budge. He said everything he saw—everything he didn't see—told him no one had tried to save Charles. Another firefighter, Captain Kent Keller, backed him up. He described the scene as eerily tidy. Charles's body was in the middle of an empty room. No overturned furniture. No signs of chaos. Just a bat, a ball cap, and a dead man on the floor. Keller told the jury it looked like Charles had been dead for some time before they got there. Lividity and modeling had already set in. Blood had pooled beneath him. His pupils were fixed. And the detail that stuck with Keller? That everything about the room—the setup, the silence, the strange calm—just felt off. #LoriVallowDaybell #CharlesVallow #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrimePodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

We're talking about enabling, entitlement, and how the “helicopter generation” is raising drones that can't function without WiFi, Starbucks orders, or their mom in the waiting room.Also covered: fighting pro MMA fighters at bars, roasting fake gangsters, and figuring out if Tupac was actually a theater kid. Yes, really.
