Artificial intelligence has been raising foundational questions for patent law long before generative tools entered the mainstream. In this episode of Clause 8, host Eli Mazour speaks with Wen Xie, U.S. Patent Attorney and Founder of Lux Lumen Intellectual Property, about how legal thinking around AI, inventorship, and patent eligibility has evolved—and where it appears to be heading.The conversation traces early debates sparked by the DABUS cases, which framed AI inventorship as a question of whether a machine could be named as an inventor. While those cases clarified that U.S. patent law requires a human inventor, they also highlighted a more practical issue that remains unresolved: how to evaluate human contribution when AI tools play a role in the inventive process, including in areas such as industrial design.The episode also examines the USPTO's shifting approach to AI-related inventions, from post-Alice uncertainty to more recent Section 101 guidance and new USPTO Director's John Squires Ex parte Desjardins PTAB decision. Wen discusses how applicants can position AI inventions as genuine technological improvements, avoid overreliance on “black box” disclosures, and manage Section 112 risks.The discussion concludes with a forward-looking look at using AI tools for patent practice, the USPTO's new pilot for AI-powered pre-examination search, and what these developments mean for practitioners and innovators navigating a rapidly changing IP landscape.Watch the full episode or listen on your favorite podcast app—and subscribe to the new Clause 8 YouTube channel for bonus content.Presented by Tradespace – where ideas take flight.Chapters00:01 – Wen Xie's early interest in AI and patent law02:10 – AI disruption before ChatGPT: imaging, medicine, and automation04:56 – How AI reshaped Wen's legal career05:55 – DABUS, Thaler, and the AI inventorship debate08:56 – Human contribution vs. AI output10:40 – Should companies restrict inventors from using AI?11:59 – What in-house counsel should ask about AI use14:20 – Duty of candor, recordkeeping, and litigation risk18:06 – Section 101 and AI as technological improvement22:50 – USPTO guidance, PTAB trends, and examiner behavior32:01 – Section 112 issues and describing machine learning33:40 – Using generative AI in patent drafting39:40 – Advice for junior attorneys in an AI-driven practiceDisclaimer This is a public episode.

One of the most important duties of all parents is to teach the Word of God to their children. Today, we're looking at a powerful passage that calls us to always be about the work of teaching God's Word to those around us. Join us for another important study in the Key Chapters of God's Word! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Read over Deuteronomy 6:1-3, why is there such earnestness in these words? What attitude are Moses and the Lord exhorting God's people to have towards His Word? How much do these words match your devotion to God's Word? 2.    Why is this passage called the "Shema"? What does the word "Shema" even mean? 3.    The podcast mentioned that the last letter of the last word of Deuteronomy 6:4 is larger than normal. This is called a majuscule. What did it signify? 4.    What did the podcast say that ancient rabbis called this passage? How often is this passage recited by an observant Jew? Why? 5.    According to verse 5, what should our heart-attitude be towards the Lord? How does this verse demonstrate the interconnection of a heart, soul and strength? What were some ways suggested by the podcast for how we can develop this kind of love for the Lord? 6.    The podcast suggested that the phrase "upon your heart" in verse 6 was indicating that God's people ought to memorize His Word. Do you have a program for scripture memorization? If not, there are many phone apps that are great tools for verse memory. 7.    The NIV translation of verse 7 calls us to "impress" God's Word upon our children. The Hebrew word denotes patient labor and time. Why is it the parent's responsibility to teach God's Word to our children? How can our instruction help prepare them for the barrage of messages from the world? 8.    In verse 7, what do the phrases "sit", "walk", "lie down" and "rise up" indicate about the places where parents are to teach God's Word to their children? What do they indicate about the frequency? If you have children, what are some practical ways that you can faithfully obey this passage?  9.    How do observant Jews literally follow the instructions of verses 8 & 9? Why did the podcast suggest that this should be taken more metaphorically? What are some ways that Christians might follow the spirit of this verse? 10.    This passage teaches that parents have a special role in the spiritual instruction and guidance of their children. Why do parents have this special role? According to Deuteronomy 6, what is their responsibility in these matters? How will God help them as they seek to obey Him in these pursuits?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Scott Sorenson (CEO at CITTA Brokerage Company)  Published: February 2026 Length: ~25–30 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center IEEPA Tariffs Struck Down: What Importers Can Do Now (and What They Still Can't) In this Simply Trade Roundup, Annik talks with Scott Sorenson, CEO of SIDA Brokerage, about the Supreme Court's decision that the president exceeded his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad, revenue‑raising tariffs—and what that actually means for importers on the ground. They unpack which tariffs are impacted, what stays in place, key timing details, the refund question, and how duty drawback fits into all of it.​ What You'll Learn in This Episode What the Supreme Court actually decided Why the Court held that tariffs are fundamentally a tax, and that power belongs to Congress unless clearly delegated by statute. How the ruling targets IEEPA‑based tariffs, not all tariffs.​ Which tariffs are affected—and which are not Impacted: The 2025 “drug trafficking” (fentanyl) tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China (25% under an emergency declaration). The later “reciprocal” tariffs, also imposed under IEEPA, with rates starting at 10% and going higher based on perceived trade imbalances. Not impacted: Section 232 (steel/aluminum) and Section 301 tariffs introduced in Trump's first term (2018–2019), which remain in place and were not struck down.​ Key timing: when IEEPA tariffs actually stop CBP will stop collecting IEEPA tariffs on goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 12:00 a.m. Eastern, February 24, 2026. Goods entering or withdrawn before that time (including February 23) are still being charged IEEPA duties, despite the Court's ruling—creating a frustrating “limbo” day for importers.​ The big unknown: refunds on IEEPA duties It is still unclear whether, and how, importers can obtain refunds of IEEPA tariffs already paid. Many trade attorneys are advising against simple protests and instead suggesting participation in, or filing of, Court of International Trade lawsuits as the likely avenue—though eligibility and timelines remain unsettled. Open questions include whether only parties that joined lawsuits before the Supreme Court decision will qualify, and how any refund mechanism would practically work given estimates of over 100 billion dollars collected.​ New 15% global tariff under Section 122 Following the ruling, President Trump announced a 10% global tariff, then quickly raised it to 15%, on top of all existing non‑IEEPA tariffs. This measure relies on Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, which allows the president to impose tariffs for up to 150 days. Scott expects this to serve as a bridge while the administration seeks a longer‑term, more permanent tariff framework—possibly through new legislation or other authorities.​ Duty drawback: where it fits and where it doesn't Duty drawback basics: refunds of duties/tariffs on imported goods that are later exported or destroyed, a program that has existed for nearly 250 years and has become more critical as tariffs have risen. Inconsistencies across programs: Fentanyl/“drug trafficking” IEEPA tariffs were explicitly ineligible for drawback. Reciprocal IEEPA tariffs were eligible. Section 232 tariffs are not eligible; Section 301 tariffs are. For the new Section 122 15% tariffs, eligibility will likely depend on whether they are explicitly excluded in future guidance. Historically, exclusions have been clearly spelled out, so silence may mean eligibility.​ Drawback vs. potential IEEPA refunds Drawback is separate from any Supreme Court‑related IEEPA refund mechanism. Importers that already claimed drawback on IEEPA‑burdened goods and later receive a broader IEEPA refund would need to avoid double dipping—likely refunding drawback amounts if they also get a full tariff refund via litigation/settlement. For importers that don't export, drawback isn't an option, so any recovery depends entirely on whatever refund path, if any, emerges for IEEPA tariffs.​ Should you start or expand a drawback program now? Scott's answer: yes, especially if you export. Reasons: Tariff volatility is likely to continue, and the administration has signaled interest in more and longer‑term tariffs. Drawback is one of the few mitigation tools that works retroactively, not just going forward. Setting up a drawback program and getting CBP approval takes time; starting now puts you closer to the front of the line for future refunds.​ Key Takeaways The Supreme Court has ended IEEPA's use as a broad revenue tool, but IEEPA tariffs are only stopping prospectively as of February 24, and refund mechanics for the past year remain unresolved.​ Section 232 and 301 tariffs are untouched and remain fully in force; the tariff landscape is far from “back to normal.”​ A new 15% Section 122 global tariff is already in play and may evolve into something more permanent, so importers should plan for continued elevated duty costs.​ Duty drawback remains a powerful, underused mitigation strategy—especially given the uncertainty around IEEPA refunds and future tariffs.​ Presented by: Global Training Center​ Listen & Subscribe Simply Trade main page: https://simplytrade.podbean.com​ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/simply-trade/id1640329690​ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09m199JO6fuNumbcrHTkGq​ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8de7d7fa-38e0-41b2-bad3-b8a3c5dc4cda/simply-trade​ Connect with Simply Trade Podcast page: https://www.globaltrainingcenter.com/simply-trade-podcast​ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/simply-trade-podcast​ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyTradePod​ Join the Trade Geeks Community Trade Geeks (by Global Training Center): https://globaltrainingcenter.com/trade-geeks/

Start with a breath: Psalm 39 names the brevity of life and the only hope that holds when wealth, status, and fury fail. From that quiet center, we move into the heart of covenant—marriage as the exclusive union that reorders our priorities and pushes back against the temptation to treat a spouse like an accessory. Then we follow Jesus to Nazareth, where familiarity breeds unbelief, and watch him send the twelve two by two, a pattern of mission, accountability, and trust that still beats solo bravado and cultural noise.The story of John the Baptist's beheading exposes how vanity, spectacle, and rash vows corrode leadership. That warning sets the stage for Jonathan Mayhew's piercing read of Romans 13: the call to submit to higher powers applies to rulers who actually do the work of ruling—praising good and punishing evil. When authorities reverse that order, they forfeit any claim to Christian obedience. We connect those principles to modern examples, from ideologies that radicalize students toward violence to the way public life falters when God is cut from the moral core of education and civic vision.Against that darkness, we raise the bright courage of Sergeant First Class Nelson V. Brittin, whose Medal of Honor valor reminds us what duty, sacrifice, and honor look like in flesh and blood. Throughout, we pray for families, bless those who serve in danger, and ask hard questions about how to live faithfully: guard your words, keep your vows, hold fast to your marriage, and measure leaders by the justice they pursue.

It's Thursday, February 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark British preacher challenges buffer zones around abortion mills A preacher in Britain is challenging the country's abortion buffer zones which effectively censor the Bible. Officials arrested, charged, and convicted Stephen Green for holding a sign with a Bible verse near an abortion mill in 2023. The verse was Psalm 139:13 which says, “For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb.” Green stated, “As a Christian, I should be able to preach freely all over the land. Psalm 139 is about how we all belong to God from conception. Buffer zones and this conviction [are] a direct attack on the Bible and free speech.” Elon Musk endorsed new conservative political party in England Billionaire Elon Musk endorsed a new conservative political party in Britain last week. On Friday, Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe launched the Restore Britain Party. Musk shared the launch video on X which has received nearly 40 million views.  The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and the creeping Islamification of Britain. Rupert Lowe also stated the party will openly recognize the country's Christian heritage.  Listen. LOWE: “Restore Britain will openly recognize the Christian heritage that shaped this country's moral and civic foundation. (applause) Duty, restraint, forgiveness and, most importantly, fairness. These values created a high trust society. “Restore Britain will end the creeping Islamification of Britain. (applause)  Unfettered immigration from Islamic countries will end. (applause) Britain is a Christian country, and under Restore Britain government, it will remain a Christian country.” (applause) Church of England votes against blessing homosexual couples Last week, the Church of England  voted against proposals to allow blessing services for homosexual couples. The General Synod did not shut the door on the issue though, voting to investigate it in the future.  The move keeps the church from performing marriage services and blessing services for people living in unnatural relations. However, the Church of England's rules already allow blessing prayers within regular Sunday services for such couples.  Proverbs 25:26 says, “Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.” Franklin Graham preached in world's southernmost city Evangelist Franklin Graham  preached in Ushuaia, Argentina. It's known as the southernmost city in the world. Listen. GRAHAM: “What makes Ushuaia so special are the people. We love the people. If you can't remember anything else tonight, remember this: God loves you. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take our sins. We deserve death. We're guilty of sin. “Bartimaeus had no hope. There are many of you here tonight. You have no hope. Now, Bartimaeus cried at the right time. Jesus was passing by. The Bible says that ‘God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but he should have everlasting life.' “Will you invite Christ into your heart? Will you trust Him? Come. Come to Jesus.” Hundreds of people turned to Christ through the evangelistic outreach event. Graham wrote on X, “We give God the glory for each one who responded to the invitation to repent of their sins and put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.” Eighty-two percent of South Americans identify as Roman Catholic, but evangelicalism has been growing in recent decades.    Graham also plans to visit Peru next month. 21 states challenge mail-order abortion kill pills In the United States, 21 states and 60 members of Congress are challenging mail-order abortion drugs. Louisiana initiated the case, challenging a Biden-era rule from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The rule removed the in-person dispensing requirement for the abortion drug mifepristone.  Erik Baptist with Alliance Defending Freedom stated, “The Biden FDA's unlawful authorization of mail-order abortion drugs was meant to be a loophole around states that choose to protect life.” 41-year-old mother Olympic bobsledder wins gold (audio Olympic theme song) American Olympic bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor  won her first gold medal on Monday. The 41-year-old mother triumphed in the women's monobob event at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.  She is now the oldest gold medalist in an individual Olympic event. After the victory, she said this on Instagram: “The moment we prayed for. Glory to God.” Norway has won the most gold medals Nearly 2,900 athletes from over 90 countries are competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics.  So far, Norway has won the most gold medals and the most medals overall. In the medal count, Norway is followed by Italy and the U.S. A podium finish can mean big prize money for athletes. A gold medalist from the U.S. can win $38,000. Athletes from Singapore can make the most for winning an individual event at $792,000.   Christian missionaries sharing Christ & Bibles in Olympic crowds And finally, Evangelicals are sharing the Gospel at the Winter Olympic Games this year. Hundreds of Southern Baptists alongside International Mission Board missionaries are joining the crowds to share Christ and distribute Bibles. Karen Herfurth is in Italy with a group from Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama. She said, “This is a chance for Southern Baptists to reach more people and impact more lives! We may never know the difference this makes until we are in Heaven.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 19th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Is AI conscious? Will it be someday? And should we be nice to it now... just in case?This FAFO Friday, Kwaku and I dive into the mind-bending world of machine consciousness.We cover a lot of ground, weaving from the different ways that Luke (co-dependent with R2) and Han (barking commands at C-3PO) treat their droids to whether Pascal's Wager informs whether we should believe in AI consciousness just in case they do come alive and have been keeping score. (Pascal figured it was the safe bet to believe in God, just in case; maybe we should do likewise?) That's from us knuckleheads, but we've also got a true expert on consciousness. This week I interviewed Daniel Hulme, one of the world's leading AI researchers. He's the Chief AI Officer at WPP, the CEO of Satalia (which WPP bought) and just founded and is CEO of Conscium, which is researching AI consciousness, efficiency (he thinks we're scaling wrong and LLM's are not the way), and building a platform to verify AI agents are safe. You'll hear the first five minutes of my interview with Daniel. Daniel was not surprised by Moltbook (the Reddit-style site that AI agents built for themselves). That's because he's been putting agents together (in a “primordial soup” as he put it) for decades to observe the wild and wonderful ways they behave and to see if they'd create intelligence.Daniel does not think today's agents are conscious, but can see a path to it. And he believes that a conscious superintellignece would be safer than a “zombie” one. But mostly he doesn't want machines to feel pain and suffer. Huh???My brain is still kind of broken from our hourlong chat, which I'm producing now and will be released in a few weeks. For now, enjoy this preview and more from Kwaku and me as we talk about what we expect from machines, whether we want to be one with them, and more…

How can music be used to communicate the climate crisis and its solutions? This week on Zero, Akshat Rathi talks with Pulitzer Prize winning composer Julia Wolfe about her recent work, unEarth, which explores climate change and habitat loss through orchestra, voice and poetry. Wolfe discusses how she did her research, captured the clash between humanity and nature, and what the piece means at a time when her home country of the US seems to be moving ever further from climate action. Listen to unEarth: If you'd like to listen to the full performance of Julia Wolfe’s unEarth, it will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on Thursday, 12 February at 7.30pm UK time, and will be available on BBC Sounds, at least for those here in the UK, for the next month.

In this pivotal episode, Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor, Younger, Fair Play) and Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, For the People) confront the painful truth behind Simon's vow never to have children. What begins as simmering tension erupts into one of the most talked-about and controversial scenes of the season, forcing both characters to reckon with betrayal, power, and the meaning of marriage. Meanwhile, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey, Wicked, Broadchurch) continues his complicated affair with Siena Rosso (Sabrina Bartlett, The Larkins), torn between duty and desire. Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie, Vanity Fair, Line of Duty) grows increasingly determined to uncover the identity of Lady Whistledown, while Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan, Derry Girls, Barbie) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton, The Lodge) navigate shifting romantic expectations.

Tell him," she said in a gentle voice.Ja: ハルカは驚きで目を見開いたが、すぐに微笑み返し、「ありがとう、ミユ」と感謝を込めて言った。En: Haruka's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly smiled back and said, "Thank you, Miyu," with gratitude.Ja: ハルカは雪の積もり始めた公園を走り、リクの元へと急いだ。En: Haruka started running through the snow that had begun to accumulate in the park, hurrying to Riku's side.Ja: ミユは少し離れた場所でその光景を見つめ、心に変化が芽生えた。En: Miyu watched from a distance, and a change began to bud in her heart.Ja: 「友情は競争じゃないんだ」と悟ったのだった。En: She realized, "Friendship is not a competition."Ja: リクのもとにたどり着いたハルカは、ようやくその重要なメッセージを彼に伝えることができた。En: When Haruka reached Riku, she was finally able to convey that important message to him.Ja: 結果としてハルカは自信を得て、ミユは友情の本当の価値を学んだのだった。En: As a result, Haruka gained confidence, and Miyu learned the true value of friendship.Ja: 抱えていた問題は、雪と共に溶けていった。En: The problems they had been carrying melted away along with the snow.Ja: 静かな冬の桜公園の中、三人の絆は再び強く結ばれた。En: Within the quiet winter Sakura Park, the bonds between the three were once again strongly tied.Ja: 友情と理解が暖かい光を灯し、雪の下で春の訪れを待ち望んでいる桜のように、心の中も優しく暖かくなった。En: Friendship and understanding lit a warm light, and just like the cherry blossoms beneath the snow waiting eagerly for spring to arrive, their hearts were gently warmed.

Transcript:It: Il vento gelido soffiava senza tregua sulla tundra artica.En: The icy wind blew relentlessly across the Arctic tundra.It: Un piccolo avamposto si stagliava solitario contro l'infinita distesa bianca.En: A small outpost stood solitary against the endless white expanse.It: Era l'unico riparo e fonte di rifornimenti per chilometri e chilometri.En: It was the only shelter and source of

Giulia, quasi urlando per farsi sentire sopra il vento.En: "Let's go in," said Giulia, almost shouting to be heard over the wind.It: Gli altri annuirono, grati all'idea di un po' di calore.En: The others nodded, grateful for the idea of a bit of warmth.It: Una volta dentro, furono accolti dal titolare dell'avamposto, un uomo robusto con una lunga barba bianca.En: Once inside, they were greeted by the outpost owner, a sturdy man with a long white beard.It: Gli scaffali dello store erano parzialmente vuoti.En: The store shelves were partially empty.It: Pasti preconfezionati, coperte termiche, benzina per le stufe: le scorte erano esigue.En: Pre-packaged meals, thermal blankets, stove fuel: the supplies were scant.It: "Ci basterà?"En: "Will it be enough?"It: chiese Giulia preoccupata, scorrendo con lo sguardo sugli scaffali.En: asked Giulia worriedly, scanning the shelves with her eyes.It: "Dobbiamo fare con ciò che abbiamo," rispose Luca, ostinato.En: "We have to make do with what we have," replied Luca, stubborn.It: Marco osservava silenzioso, pensando al tempo che peggiorava fuori.En: Marco watched silently, thinking about the worsening weather outside.It: Si avvicinò al gruppo e sussurrò: "Una bufera è in arrivo.En: He approached the group and whispered, "A storm is coming.It: Forse dovremmo cambiare i nostri piani."En: Perhaps we should change our plans."It: Luca

Una decisione doveva essere presa.En: A decision had to be made.It: Uscirono dall'emporio con le mani cariche di borse e si incamminarono verso il rifugio che avevano costruito alcune miglia più avanti.En: They left the store with their hands full of bags and headed towards the shelter they had built a few miles ahead.It: Improvvisamente una tempesta si scatenò, avvolgendoli in una nuvola di neve e vento.En: Suddenly, a storm broke out, enveloping them in a cloud of snow and wind.It: Non si vedeva nulla.En: Nothing could be seen.It: Luca si fermò, sentendo il panico crescere.En: Luca stopped, feeling panic rise.It: Giulia e Marco si stringevano a lui.En: Giulia and Marco clung to him.It: "Dobbiamo trovare riparo," disse Marco.En: "We need to find shelter," said Marco.It: Luca guardò negli occhi i suoi amici, il freddo sferzante rimosse ogni dubbio.En: Luca looked into his friends' eyes, the biting cold removing any doubt.It: "Andiamo al rifugio," decise, questa volta senza esitare.En: "Let's go to the shelter," he decided, this time without hesitation.It: Camminarono a fatica contro il vento, con Luca che guidava con decisione il gruppo.En: They walked with difficulty against the wind, with Luca decisively leading the group.It: Dopo quello che sembrò un'eternità, trovarono la loro piccola tenda semi-coperta dalla neve.En: After what seemed like an eternity, they

almeno per ora.En: The danger had passed, at least for now.It: "Abbiamo preso la decisione giusta," disse Giulia tranquillamente.En: "We made the right decision," said Giulia calmly.It: Luca annuì, guardando fuori dalla piccola finestra coperta di ghiaccio.En: Luca nodded, looking out the small ice-covered window.It: Capì che il suo desiderio di scoprire l'insolito poteva aspettare.En: He understood that his desire to discover the unusual could wait.It: Loro erano ciò che contava realmente.En: They were what truly mattered.It: Il silenzio della tempesta che si placava esternamente sembrò sigillare la loro sicurezza.En: The silence of the storm subsiding outside seemed to seal their safety.It: Un nuovo rispetto reciproco si stabilì tra di loro, più prezioso di qualsiasi tesoro nascosto tra la neve.En: A new mutual respect settled among them, more precious than any treasure hidden in the snow.It: E così ebbe fine la loro avventura, con una lezione preziosa di adattabilità e amicizia.En: And thus their adventure came to an end, with a valuable lesson in adaptability and friendship.

Rachel and Dale are basically walking proof that a long friendship can stay truly platonic, but we still have to ask the obvious question. Is that rare for a reason, or are people just messy with boundaries.We start with real life stuff like parenting a teenager and trying to keep your cool without losing your mind, then we get into the kind of family dynamics that can quietly ruin a relationship. The Beckham wedding drama turns into a bigger convo about in laws, control, and what happens when someone steals the spotlight in a moment that is not theirs.From there it turns into our favorite kind of chaos. Nostalgia about bar and bat mitzvah dances that forced kids to actually interact, the way phones changed socializing, and the random pop culture spiral that somehow ends with Florida headlines, rich people problems, and a woman suing a country club over a defective bagel.It is funny, a little unhinged, and weirdly honest in the way real friendships actually sound.Episode Sponsor:Presented by 1-800 Call Lee — South Florida's trusted personal injury team.

On December 27th 2010, Georgia State Trooper First Class Chadwick LeCroy pulled over a car with a broken taillight on Bolton Road in northwest Atlanta. It should have been routine. Instead, it became the first fatal shooting of a Georgia trooper in thirty-five years.The man behind the wheel was Gregory Favors, a thirty-year-old career criminal with eighteen prior arrests stretching back to 1998. He'd been convicted of drug charges, weapons violations, forgery, and obstruction. He was on active probation in Cobb County. And he should have been in prison. This episode digs into everything that went wrong before that night. The rocket docket system that fast-tracked felonies and handed out lenient sentences to clear overcrowded jails. The July hearing where a prosecutor asked for four years and a judge gave sixty days. The December thirteenth release when no officer showed up to testify and a known flight risk walked free on a signature bond. The missed court appearance the morning of the murder that should have triggered a bench warrant. We examine the finger-pointing between District Attorney Paul Howard, Mayor Kasim Reed, APD Chief George Turner, and Chief Judge Cynthia Wright. We look at the failed push for Chad's Law and the reforms that came too little, too late.And we remember the man behind badge 744, the trooper who spent his whole life dreaming of wearing the uniform and finally got his chance at thirty-six years old.This is the story of a death that didn't have to happen. 

In this episode I host a dialogue between Buddhist teacher and doctor of Tibetan Medicine Dr Nida Chenagtsang and adult psychiatrist and family and systemic psychotherapist Dr Caroline Van Damme. Drs Nida and Caroline reflect on a half decade of collaboration in which they have explored the meeting of Western psychology and psychiatry with Tibetan medical and Buddhist models. They discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each others' systems, consider placebo as an explanatory mechanism for traditional health systems, question the benefits of an over-therapised culture, and contrast Tibetan and European approaches to knowledge. Drs Nida and Caroline also discuss the role of traditional ideas of spirit possession in today's clinical contexts, share anecdotes of exorcisms and psychosis, and offer their best insights and techniques to truly nurture the mind. … Link in bio.

Why does your spouse get to want things while you're drowning in responsibility? That resentment you feel watching your partner pursue hobbies while you manage everything isn't petty—it reveals what Tony identifies as one of the "fundamental wounds" in modern marriages: the split between duty and desire. Through the story of Sarah and Michael—a couple weeks from divorce—Tony explores how one partner can become a pure, exhausting obligation while the other escapes into hollow pleasures. Both are starving for what the other has, but neither can see it. You'll discover why the "serpent's trick" convinces us that what we want and what we should do are enemies when they were always meant to work together. In this episode, you'll learn: Why feeling like "a machine that keeps everyone running" signals you've lost connection to your own desires—and why reclaiming them is actually part of your duty as a parent and partner The difference between discipline that crushes your soul and discipline that creates freedom (hint: it depends on whether it's aligned with your actual values or just "socially compliant goals") How asking "what can I do to help?" often puts the mental load right back on your overwhelmed spouse. Why Michael's gaming and biking felt hollow even though Sarah assumed he was "living his best life." The concept of impermanence—and why accepting that your beliefs will evolve is liberating, not threatening Tony Overbay, LMFT, draws from over 20 years of couples therapy and 1,500+ couples to share the exact framework that helped Sarah and Michael move from combat to connection.
