Send us a textTwo holiday beers, one wild night. We crack open a chocolate peppermint bark stout that drinks like grown-up cocoa, then tackle an 11% cherry Belgian strong ale dressed up with a champagne cork—and yes, we found glass shards in two corks. That surprise detour turns into a quick safety PSA, an email to the brewery, and practical tips for opening corked beer bottles without bleeding on your bar towel. Once the adrenaline fades, we dig into tasting notes: how peppermint plays with stout without getting cloying, why the cherry tartness lands like a well-made sour, and how serving temp and glassware can make or break a high-gravity holiday ale.Between pours we trade stories from the home front: a washer on its last spin, the illusion of Black Friday savings after hoses and delivery fees, and the humble joy of finally doing laundry in peace. Then the conversation shifts to seasonal comfort watches. A Christmas Story still owns our hearts, Elf charms a new generation, and the Die Hard-as-Christmas-movie debate refuses to die. We riff on rewatchable pillars—Heat, Tombstone, Gladiator, 300, Red Dawn, The Lost Boys, Goonies—and why some films stop your channel surfing cold.We also keep a promise to our future selves: get screened. If you're 50 or older, book the colonoscopy. We share what the prep really feels like, why the overnight “sprint” is worth it, and how early detection changes outcomes. Final scores: peppermint stout lands at a confident 9 for balanced cocoa and mint; the cherry Belgian strong ale settles at 9 once it chills and opens up in a chalice. If you want holiday beer reviews with edge, movie nostalgia with teeth, and a little real-life wisdom between laughs, pour a glass and hang with us.Enjoyed the ride?

El Fútbol Club Barcelona vuelve al Camp Nou y el partido de reestreno será contra el Athetic Club de Bilbao. Tiene cierto morbo después de un verano protagonizado por el culebrón Nico Williams.
Vor 14 Jahren sang sich Anna Rossinelli mit «In Love For A While» dank dem ESC in die Herzen der Welt. Heute ist die Baslerin immer noch mit denselben beiden Musikern unterwegs – und hat mit «Heat» ihr sechstes Album veröffentlicht. Es war 2011, als Anna Rossinelli mit «In Love For A While» die grosse Bühne des Eurovision Song Contest betrat. Seither ist viel passiert, doch eines ist geblieben: Die Band ist ohne Manuel Meisel und Georg Dillier nicht denkbar. Diese Konstellation ist für Anna bis heute zentral. Mit «Heat» erscheint nun das sechste Album der Formation – ein Werk, das nicht nur musikalisch, sondern auch persönlich geprägt ist. Elf neue Songs sind entstanden, und obwohl es bereits das sechste Album ist, brennt Anna Rossinelli nach wie vor für ihre Musik. Für die Produktion hat sie mit vielen kreativen Köpfen zusammengearbeitet, um frische Impulse einzubringen. Das Album ist für sie wie Tagebucheinträge: ehrlich, nah und voller Emotionen. Denn die letzten Jahre brachten neue Herausforderungen, so sind nicht nur Anna, sondern auch ihre beiden Bandkollegen Eltern geworden. Mittlerweile bereichern vier Kinder das Bandleben – und trotzdem bleibt die Freude auf Konzerte gross. Ebenfalls in der Sendung: Amaya Gloor. Wir rufen sie live an und lernen sie etwas besser kennen. Die Musikerin aus dem Berner Oberland mit Wurzeln in Jamaika und Costa Rica erzählt von ihrer neuen EP «Unfinished» und warum sie einen Song von Tina Turner covern wollte. Welchen, erfahren Sie in der Sendung.

Mary Steenburgen actually ate spaghetti with maple syrup during the filming of "Elf" In ELF, who played Buddy the Elf?
Das 6:0 von Julians Nagelsmännern gegen die Skowakei hat für weltweites Rauschen im Blätterwald gesorgt - und selbst den schwer entflammbaren Meigl schwer beeindruckt. „Kein Zweifel, wir haben alles, was in Unschlagbarkeit mündet, intus. Einen Trainer vom andern Stern, Fußballer, die vor Kraft laufen können und einen Sportdirektor, der die beste Frise im Welt-Fußball aufträgt. Unser Ruuuudieee. WIR werden Weltmeister, Güüdooo!“ Meigls Podcast-Partner Guido sieht das ganz ähnlich, warnt aber ausdrücklich vor Ralf Rangnicks Österreichern. „Ralf ist ein Wunderwuzzi, Meigl, der würde sogar Dir die Segnungen des flachen Passes und der Teamarbeit einverleiben. Österreich kommt mindestens ins Finale!“ Die zugeschalteten Star-Gäste Pit Gottschalk und Reiner Calmund sind aus Erfahrung gut und klug, halten die Bälle flach. Ja, so beide Herren unisono, Fußball-Deutschland ist der Heldenstadt zu Dank verpflichtet, der Klima- und Stimmungswechsel habe auch und vor allem mit dem Leipziger Allerlei - Nagelsmann, Ridle Baku, Assan Ouédraogo, David Raum - zu tun. Und, ja, diese international unterschätze Elf könne es ähnlich wild treiben, wie jene unterschätzte 2002er Combo, die unter Rudi Völler Vize-Weltmeister wurde. Ein Interview mit dem großartigen Reiner Calmund, der am Sonntag 77 und am 12. Mai das Haus Leipzig mit seinem Bühnenprogramm begeistern wird, geht am Sonnabend bei lvz.de und in der gedruckten Variante sehr steil. RB gegen Bremen, Meigl? „3:0!“

11. Spieltag wird kein 2000er aber man kann es ja versuchen. Julia und Janni besprechen den anstehenden Spieltag und liefern sich ein Duell um die bessere Elf.
Meghan and Miranda kick things off in matching green sweaters (not planned, allegedly) and a confession: Meghan has already ditched fall for full Christmas mode. From early decorations to Rankin-Bass Christmas classics and Elf on repeat, they ask the audience the big question... is it too early for Christmas? Then it's pop culture time: reviews of Netflix's Death by Lightning (Nick Offerman and Matthew MacFadyen as Garfield & his assassin), a hate-watch defense of Kim Kardashian's All's Fair, a spooky rec for All Her Fault on Peacock, and all the chaos from BravoCon — including Vicki getting her orange back, Lisa Rinna manifesting, and rumors of a Nene/Kim Ultimate Girls Trip. CNN Senior Global Affairs Analyst and author Bianna Golodryga joins to talk about her new book Don't Feed the Lion and how to actually teach kids to recognize and fight antisemitism. They dig into rising Jew-hatred from both the far right and far left, continued fallout from Tucker Carlson's softball interview with Nick Fuentes, the grotesque “America First, America Only” cockroach video from Matt Gaetz's producer, AIPAC as a political dog whistle, and why so many institutions still tiptoe around antisemitism. Meghan and Miranda then tackle the Epstein files, Megyn Kelly's “barely legal” comments about underage girls, and why trying to nuance the age of abuse victims is dangerous and unacceptable.

“Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to win a million-dollar home with just a $10 raffle ticket—or what you'd do if you actually won?” That's the question that kicks off this lively episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where JB and Sandy dive into the wild world of house raffles, personal luck, and the quirky traditions that make the holidays unforgettable. This episode unpacks the buzz around a brand-new, fully furnished home in East Austin's coveted Holly District, up for grabs through a unique charity raffle. With the Austin real estate market in flux, the hosts break down how this creative approach is shaking things up—and why 10% of every ticket supports the Central Texas Food Bank. The conversation gets personal as Sandy and JB swap stories about their own raffle wins, from belt buckles at dirt tracks to classic cars and heartfelt charity donations. The show's energy shifts as the hosts and their guest, Tricia, share the movies they revisit every Thanksgiving. From the dark depths of “Apocalypse Now” to the holiday cheer of “Elf” and the hilarity of “Step Brothers,” listeners are treated to a blend of nostalgia, laughter, and candid confessions—including Tricia's emotional connection to holiday films and JB's “wheeler dealer” adventures with cars.Notable moments include:The legal twists behind house raffles and the charity loophole that makes them possible.JB's memorable quote: “It just seemed like the right thing to do,” reflecting on giving away his beloved truck for a good cause.Sandy's Amazon rant and the surprising state of Whole Foods' flagship bathroom—because no episode is complete without a little real-life humor.Whether you're a Longhorn fan gearing up for the big game, a holiday movie buff, or just curious about the odds of winning big, this episode delivers laughs, insights, and a dash of holiday spirit. Don't miss out—subscribe to The JB and Sandy Show, leave a review, and share this episode with friends who love a good story and a chance at something extraordinary!
(Víspera del Natalicio de José Raúl Capablanca) «Nací en La Habana, la capital de la isla de Cuba, el 19 de noviembre de 1888. Yo no tenía aún cinco años cuando por accidente entré en la oficina privada de mi padre y lo encontré jugando con otro señor. Nunca antes había visto una partida de ajedrez. Las piezas me interesaron, y yo, al día siguiente, regresé para verlos jugar de nuevo. Al tercer día, mientras yo miraba, mi padre, un principiante muy pobre, movió uno de sus caballos de un cuadrado blanco a otro cuadrado blanco. Su adversario, al parecer no mejor jugador, no lo notó. Mi padre ganó, y yo le dije que él era tramposo, y comencé a reírme. Después de una pequeña discusión durante la cual casi me sacó de la habitación, le mostré a mi padre lo que él había hecho. Me preguntó cómo y qué sabía yo sobre el ajedrez. Le respondí que yo podía vencerlo, [y él] dijo que eso era imposible, considerando que yo ni siquiera podía colocar las piezas correctamente. En conclusión, jugamos una partida y gané. Ese fue mi comienzo.»1 Así narra José Raúl Capablanca el comienzo de su vida y de su carrera en su obra titulada Mi carrera ajedrecística. Sin embargo, su acreditado biógrafo Miguel A. Sánchez señala que tal vez Capablanca no haya recordado con certeza lo ocurrido, ya que no concuerda con la entrevista que el periodista cubano Andrés Clemente Vázquez le hizo poco después a esa temprana edad. Según lo publicado en el periódico El Fígaro de La Habana el 8 de octubre de 1893, el niño José Raúl había retado a su padre José María diciéndole: «Si tú quieres perder ahora, juega conmigo». Pero su respuesta acerca de cómo y qué sabía sobre el ajedrez había sido: «Yo me he aprendido las jugadas del general», refiriéndose al jefe de su padre, el general de brigada Emiliano Loño de Pérez, a quien diversas crónicas de la época describían como un apasionado del ajedrez. El periodista Vázquez también dio a conocer que el padre de José Raúl perdía con frecuencia cuando jugaba con su jefe, de modo que el general Loño bien pudiera haber estado enseñándole ajedrez a José María Capablanca cuando su hijo fue testigo de esa lección.2 De cualquier manera, lo cierto es que José Raúl Capablanca fue un niño prodigio que llegó a ser un genio del ajedrez apodado «la máquina humana», y que escribió ese libro en 1920 con el fin de promover su candidatura al título de campeón mundial del ajedrez. Feliz y muy merecidamente para él, dio resultado, ya que el año siguiente no sólo participó en el campeonato, sino que se coronó campeón con su rotunda victoria sobre el entonces poseedor del título supremo, el Gran Maestro alemán Emanuel Lasker.3 ¿En qué se parecen el niño José Raúl y el niño Jesús? ¡En que los dos dejaron asombrados de su inteligencia a sus maestros! Pero, gracias a Dios, si bien casi ninguno de nosotros, por mucho que se esfuerce, es capaz de lograr semejante asombro, todos sí podemos lograr crecer en sabiduría y gozar del favor de nuestros semejantes y de nuestro Padre celestial si determinamos imitar a su Hijo Jesucristo.4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 José Raúl Capablanca, Mi carrera ajedrecística, Anotado por el editor Miguel A.

Christmas is full of lights, lists, and traditions — buthow do we keep our children focused on the real meaning of the season? Today, I'm joined by Pastor Grant Castleberry who serves as pastor at The King's Chapel in Raleigh, NC. He and his wife GraceAnna are authors, creators, and parents of five — whose mission is to help families reclaim the heart of Christmas. Together they've created a powerful new resource designed to anchor the season in the story of Jesus.In this episode, we talk about how to guide our childrentoward a Christ-centered understanding of Christmas — not just through words, but through intentional family traditions. From daily Scripture rhythms tosimple practices that point little hearts to the manger, we explore practical ways parents can make Jesus the focus of December. The Castleberrys share how their own family traditions were reshaped by their desire to keep Christ at the center — and how every family, regardless of where they're starting, can do the same.We also dive into their new project, “Manger inDanger,” a creative and meaningful alternative to Elf on the Shelf. Packed with Scripture-based devotionals and rooted in the true Christmas story, it offers families a month-long adventure that brings children back to the wonder of Jesus' birth — not the distractions that often crowd Him out.Please Support this Podcast:https://mypillow.com Promo Code: ROSEhttps://patriotmobile.com/partners/rosewww.americansforprosperity.orghttps://wordmarketingservices.com/Rose's Ministry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.com

No surprise to me that there's a glut of apartments on the market I saw the potential for this oversupply happening in San Diego a couple of years ago. It seemed anywhere you drove within a short distance you would see the construction of new apartment buildings. It is not just here in San Diego though as the glut of apartments is happening around the country. With the dynamics of supply and demand, if you're looking for an apartment today, you're in for a treat. In September rental rates had the steepest drop in more than 15 years. Landlords are now offering months of free rent, gift cards, free parking and some are even paying for your moving expenses just to get you to sign a lease. You may want to play hardball because in some areas they'll even cut the rent on top of all those incentives. In September, 37% of rentals agreed to concessions like months of free rent. What caused the problem for landlords is during the early years of the pandemic, developers could not begin building apartments fast enough, especially in the Sunbelt area where there was a major population migration. It became the biggest apartment construction boom in 40 years, but because of the delay of construction permits and labor shortages, development took much longer than they had hoped. It seemed no one looked around to see all the apartments going up, and now they're all competing with each other for renters. The landlords are hoping they can raise rents by the end of 2026 or at least sometime in 2027, but I don't think they are factoring in how many apartments are online with more still to come. Based on the current apartment inventory and new apartments coming online, renters could be in for lower rent maybe perhaps until 2028. This will not be good for the housing market because rent for houses will be the next to fall and then people will have to factor in the affordability of renting vs buying a home. This would also likely hurt the demand for buying rental properties as an investment if you can't get as much rent as you thought. Are the large hyperscale companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet inflating earnings? Michael Burry, who was made famous by "The Big Short", made the claim that some of America's largest tech companies are using aggressive accounting to pad their profits. He believes they are understating depreciation expenses by estimating that chips will have a longer life cycle than is realistic. Investors are likely aware of the huge investment these companies are making in AI, but they likely don't understand how the accounting of the investments work. If a business makes an investment in these semiconductors/servers of let's say $100 B, that doesn't hit earnings when the money is spent as under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, they are instead able to spread out the cost of that asset as a yearly expense that is based on the company's estimate of how rapidly that asset depreciates in value. From what I've seen, these companies are generally depreciating their Nvidia chips for over 5 to 6 years. This seems to be a stretch considering Nvidia is on a 1-year chip production cycle, and the technology is changing quite rapidly. Burry estimated that from 2026 through 2028, the accounting maneuver would understate depreciation by about $176 billion and if Burry is correct, hyperscale's will have to write off AI capex as a bad investment, due to depreciation-useful life mismatch. This would then produce a major hit on earnings. While I remain a believer that AI is here to stay, I do believe there will be some big-time losers in this space given all the money that is being spent. Be careful chasing the hype as I do worry the fallout for some of these companies could be larger than many things possible. Burry has also warned this year that AI enthusiasm resembles the late-1990s tech bubble and recently disclosed put options betting against Nvidia and Palantir. He also stated that "more detail" was coming November 25th, and that readers should "stay tuned." I know I'm definitely curious what other information he has! China is no longer just manufacturing; they are also beginning to innovate. For many years innovation was generally done here in the US, and we would have the products manufactured in China. China is no longer happy with this arrangement, and its research and development spending is up nearly 9% a year well above the 1.7% here in United States. In 2024, China filed 70,160 international patents which was about 16,000 more than the 54,087 patents the US filed. China also seems to be more advanced in robotics installing 300,000 industrial robots in 2024 compared with roughly 30,000 industrial robots in the US. It also has been noted that when it comes to worldwide sales of electric vehicles, 66% came from China. While these developments seem positive for China, the country is still experiencing problems with a slowing economy as they have seen fixed asset investment decline and a slowdown in retail sales. The population of China has also declined over the last three years, and the real estate market after four years has really taken away a lot of household wealth. China's public and private debt continue to climb rapidly, which is becoming a problem for them as well. It is estimated that China is spending around $85-$95 billion on AI capital spending yet their economy is struggling as noted by the China Merchants Bank which talked about a 11% decline in consumption among customers and retail loans are now under pressure. China's exports to the US are down 27% because of the tariffs, but worldwide their exports are up 8%. It was recently reported that Beijing banned foreign AI chips from Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and Intel from government funding data center buildouts. Currently, China cannot pass the US and its allies in producing the most advance semiconductors, but they're making very good progress in developing mid-level chips and parts of the AI ecosystem. The US must continue to forge ahead because if we rest, China will be the world dominant power Financial Planning: 50-year Mortgage: Helpful or Hurtful? A 50-year mortgage is being discussed as a way to reduce monthly payments and help with affordability, offering borrowers slightly lower costs that could help them qualify for homes otherwise out of reach. Critics argue that these loans would saddle buyers with far more interest paid to banks and that many borrowers would never pay off such a long mortgage, but those arguments often miss the bigger picture. Paying a low rate of interest to a bank is not inherently bad if it allows someone to invest money elsewhere at higher returns, just as today's homeowners with 30-year mortgages at 2% benefit greatly from not paying them off early. Also, most mortgages today are never fully paid off anyway because homes are sold, or loans are refinanced long before they reach maturity. A 50-year loan would be no different, especially since borrowers could always pay more than the minimum if they wanted to accelerate payoff. In practice, savvy investors would likely use the freed-up cash flow from 50-year mortgages to invest in higher-return opportunities, but most borrowers probably wouldn't resulting in slower wealth accumulation for the masses without addressing the root cause of housing affordability. If used correctly, this loan could be a useful tool, but I fear the overall impact could be damaging. Companies Discussed: Axon Enterprise (AXON), Zoetis Inc. (ZTS), Elf Beauty Inc.

In the UK you can only buy vapes or e-cigarettes if you are over 18, but the bright packaging, fruit flavors and affordable prices attracts teenagers who often use disposable single-use products like Elf and Geek bars. Now campaigners are calling for tighter restrictions on vapes to bring them more into line with cigarettes. The Local Government Association (LGA), which represents councils in England, is asking for vapes to adhere to the same rules as cigarettes. This would mean they would have to be sold in plain packaging and kept out of reach and sight of children behind shop counters. While the charity, Action on Smoking and Health (Ash) is also calling for a £4 tax on single disposable vapes to be added on top of the usual £4.99 price. What would this change for vapes? Are vapes harmful? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Which are the dirtiest parts of our bodies?

Send us a textA Christmas movie isn't just snow, lights, and a calendar date—it's heart, family, and a story that believes in something. Live from Cape Con 2025, we set a clear, simple test for what counts as a real holiday film and then throw our top five lists into the arena. The crowd jumps in as we put Die Hard on trial, celebrate Elf and The Santa Clause, and argue whether The Nightmare Before Christmas truly earns its December stripes. The Family Stone gets a heartfelt defense as a portrait of grief, love, and tradition, and yes, we square off over the ultimate winner: Home Alone or The Polar Express.You'll hear why some movies feel like December in your bones, how music and recurring motifs turn scenes into rituals, and where nostalgia either deepens meaning or disguises thin storytelling. We talk cozy classics, modern mischief, and the delicate line between “set at Christmas” and “about Christmas.” Along the way we unpack what we actually want from a holiday watch—reunion, redemption, laughter, and that flicker of belief when the house is quiet and the tree is glowing. If you love spirited lists, honest hot takes, and a few surprises, you're in the right place. Hit play, build your own top five, and tell us what we missed.
