Humanities West explores Ansel Adams' legendary six-decade career as a conservationist, teacher, musician and, above all, photographer, bringing you the stories behind the famous images to reveal the infectious enthusiasms, fervent battles, and bountiful friendships of a truly American original. Two of Ansel Adams' best friends, Georgia O'Keeffe and Edward Weston, criticized him for being too involved with the world. They advised that his activism—for the environment, for the rights of American citizens, for the recognition of photography as a creative art—all came at a grave cost to his art. To be a serious artist, they agreed, one must focus only on one's art. Ansel Adams proved them wrong. But too often, Adams' photographs are appreciated only for their aesthetic appeal, without consideration of the social and political circumstances of their making. On what would have been his 123rd birthday, how do we celebrate this great artist and American citizen? Mary Street Alinder and Dr. Jasmine Alinder will place Adams' artistic work and political convictions in conversation, not as opposing forces, but as mutually supporting objectives. Mary Street Alinder first studied with Adams in 1967, eventually becoming his chief assistant from 1979 until his death in 1984. During those years she worked very closely with him and completed his autobiography posthumously. She will share her very personal experiences with this great San Franciscan. Jasmine Alinder is an interdisciplinary, community-engaged scholar and teacher of public history, the history of photography, and the history of Japanese-Americans during World War II. In her talk, she will focus on Ansel Adams' 1944 project Born Free and Equal: The Story of Loyal Japanese-Americans. A Humanities Member-led Forum program. Forums at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club, and they cover a diverse range of topics. Learn more about our Forums.

Robin Zander hosted a Snafu webinar for the Sidebar community on non-sales selling—think self-promotion for career transitions, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and product people. The goal: learn to "sell yourself" without the ick factor. Participants shared fears: follow-ups feel intimidating, sales feels slimy, and success seems like a numbers game. Robin reframed it: selling is really about enrollment—being a chief evangelist for your work, not begging for attention. Drawing on stories from his childhood pumpkin patch, his time as a personal trainer (where desperation lost him clients), and opening Robin's Cafe in San Francisco (raising $40k, serving multiple stakeholders, training staff with Danny Meyer's principles), he showed the difference between selling from need vs. service. Long-term success comes from genuine connection, curiosity, optimism, and passion. Attendees explored their "authentic attitude" and reflected on times self-promotion felt good versus slimy. Exercises included mapping all the people who benefit from your work—employees, customers, managers, mentees, community—and practicing generosity in selling (a "Miracle on 34th Street" mindset: help customers even if it means sending them elsewhere). In Q&A, Robin tackled: Asking for promotions as modeling for others, especially women and minorities Persistence in follow-ups (yes, emailing Mark Benioff 53 times counts) Relationship-based enterprise selling Avoiding fear-based AI marketing by knowing who you serve and what problem you solve Recommended reading: Setting the Table (Danny Meyer), Unreasonable Hospitality (Will Guidara), The New Strategic Selling. Robin also shared upcoming Snafu conference details (March 5, Oakland Museum of California) and reminded everyone: Snafu = situation normal; all fucked up. 00:00 Start 01:06 Audience Fears About Selling Robin Zander welcomes 93 participants to the webinar Notes the session is interactive with exercises planned Encourages participants to drop questions in chat or interrupt him Last 15–20 minutes reserved for questions Robin introduces himself briefly Focuses on storytelling as a tool for self-promotion Shares experience as a community builder Runs a conference called Responsive since 2016 (not Snafu) Tools, structures, and company cultures for resilient organizations Two-day event each September on the future of work Focus on building resilience in organizations Observations on rapid change Technology and work-life changes happening at a fast pace Questions about resilience in individuals Traits needed in careers, personal relationships, professional relationships Ability to stay resilient through change Robin frames his expertise Emphasizes his strength in asking questions and fostering honest conversations Labels himself a reluctant salesperson Not the world's leading expert on self-promotion or selling Key lessons from research and interviews Two buckets matter in business and life: Example: Sidebar community forming coalitions for learning and action Operational excellence: being competent and at least as good as others Promotion/enrollment/sales: standing up, saying what you want, building coalitions Started interviewing people about influence and persuasion Started a weekly newsletter called Snafu Written by hand, not AI Shares lessons from his life and others about self-promotion and resilience Focus on courage to take action: raising hand, offering something valuable Core characteristics of self-promotion and selling yourself Connecting with others: art of connection Courage to ask: inspired by Amanda Palmer's TED Talk and book The Art of Asking Opposes traditional "always be closing" sales mentality Advocates for simply asking for what you want Current work mostly involves storytelling for large companies Clients include Supersonic, Airbnb, Zappos, and others 12:25 Service as the Core Principle Robin introduces the concept of storytelling for self-promotion Stories used to: Get promotions Build coalitions Propel career or organizational growth Emphasizes turning personal, career, or company stories into "commercials" Focus of today's talk: self-promotion with impact Core principle: service Showing up from a place of helping others Through helping others, also helping oneself Distinguishes between sleazy salespeople and effective self-promoters Childhood anecdote: Robin's pumpkin patch Tended plants all summer, learned responsibility and care Harvested pumpkins and sold them using a small red tin box labeled "money" Ran "Robin's Pumpkin Patch" for five to seven years At age five, father had him plant pumpkin seeds Engaged neighborhood kids for fun, collaborative promotion Explained product (pumpkins) enthusiastically to potential buyers Used scarecrow costumes and creative gestures to attract attention Lessons learned from pumpkin patch: Authentic enthusiasm creates value Helping people do what they were already inclined to do Early experience of earning and serving simultaneously Self-promotion is most effective when it's service-driven, not manipulative Applying childhood lesson to career and business Asking for a raise Persuading companies to choose one service over another Promoting oneself or others (e.g., Evan, web developer) Key principle: approach self-promotion from delight and service, not need or fear Authentic enthusiasm as foundation for: Interactive exercise for participants Not influenced by sleep deprivation or stress Could be inspired by childhood or adult experiences Opposite of fear; personal and unique for each participant Question posed: what is your authentic attitude when self-promoting? Examples shared from participants: Curiosity Passion Inspiration Service to others Observation Possibility Insight Value Helping others Creativity Belief in serendipity Optimism Key takeaway from exercise and story Promoting from delight, enthusiasm, and service Promoting from need or fear Two versions of self-promotion: Effective self-promotion aligns with authenticity and enthusiasm, creating value for others while advancing oneself 18:36 Gym Job and Needy Selling Robin shares the next story and sets up the next exercise Gym culture is sales-heavy Initial motivation: love of fitness, desire to help people Quickly realizes environment incentivizes personal trainers to sell aggressively Timeframe: ~20 years later, at age 20, moved to San Francisco First post-college job: personal trainer in gyms Early experience at gyms Key lesson from early failure Selling from need feels gross Promoting oneself from fear or desperation leads to poor results Recognizes similarity to unwanted sales calls received personally First authentic success in self-promotion Worked at Petro and World's Gym in San Francisco, Pilates instructor Owner confronted Robin after two weeks: no clients, potential clients being lost to others Threatened termination by Friday if no clients acquired Robin froze under pressure, approached clients but with needy, desperate energy Outcome: fired by Friday, left gym Encounters man in pain on Valencia Street, offers help as personal trainer Approach comes from genuine care, desire to serve Leads to three-year working relationship, consistent sessions, good income Next client: world-famous photographer Michael Light at UCSF swimming pool Client comes from natural connection, not pushy salesmanship Dichotomy observed: Pushy, need-based self-promotion → freeze, poor results Service-oriented self-promotion → natural connections, sustained relationships Exercise for participants Prompt: identify two moments: One time self-promoting felt slimy → what were you doing? One time self-promoting felt good → what were you doing differently? Two-minute reflection / chat participation Participant reflections/examples Slimy examples: Interviewing for a job during layoffs, giving desperate energy Selling P&L at a hyperscaler Selling computers and printers in UK post-college Sales emails getting ghosted Feeling inauthentic or performative, taking advantage of someone Good examples: Offering services out of care and love rather than ROI Showing impact of work to junior child Knowing services add real value and solve a challenge Being clear on what the other person needs Key takeaway Self-promotion feels different depending on intent and knowledge Slimy → desperate, inauthentic, unclear value to recipient Authentic → service-driven, clear value, connection-focused Effective self-promotion combines knowing your value and serving others, not just pushing for personal gain 25:35 Miracle on 34th Street Lesson Feeling good in self-promotion comes from genuinely helping, solving problems, and sharing information Santa Claus hired at Macy's to hold kids and give candy canes, but real goal: persuade parents to buy from Macy's Santa instead sends parents to competitor to truly serve them Macy's manager initially furious Outcome: customers feel genuinely served, return praising Macy's, become loyal fans Robin references Miracle on 34th Street (original version) Key insight: providing real value, even if it benefits someone else, eventually returns value to you "Put enough bread across the water, eventually good things come back" Participant reflections Slimy: knowing audience expects judgment, catering to them for approval Good: giving the gift of knowledge, providing service freely Takeaway: authentic self-promotion is rooted in service, generosity, and sharing expertise, not manipulating for immediate gain 27:45 Starting Robin's Cafe Through Service Robin shares a major professional turning point: opening Robin's Cafe in 2016 No restaurant experience beyond college busing tables Opened in three weeks, eventually grew to 15 employees by 2018 Worked in multiple industries: Pumpkin patch, personal trainer, circus performer Opened a café/restaurant in Mission District, San Francisco Courage and conviction came from clear focus on service to others Employees: create a great workplace, go-giver culture Investors: $40k raised from friends/family, provided value and potential return Landlords (ODC, nonprofit dance center): wanted success of business to support community Customers: diverse—tech workers, kids in dance classes, local community Robin himself: financial sustainability, learning, personal growth Key audiences served by Robin's Cafe Approach to challenges Used Danny Meyer's Setting the Table as a service-focused framework for employees Philosophy: "giving in order to get paid" Examples: spouse, kids, dog, manager, peers, mentees, clients, community, customers, extended family, mentors Served multiple stakeholders during crises: break-ins, flooding, city permitting, neighborhood issues Exercise: identify all the people who benefit from your work or success Key idea: the more stakeholders served, the easier self-promotion becomes, because it comes from service, not need or pressure Show up thinking: does this serve the person I'm talking to? Principle: selling yourself from a place of service Consider multiple stakeholders simultaneously Audience question: elaborate on applying this service mindset specifically to asking for a promotion Tying service to self-promotion in career advancement Result: asking for a raise, applying for jobs, pitching clients—all easier and more authentic 38:11 Promotion As Service Asking for a promotion from a place of service Example: doing the role already, deserving recognition, asking for what you believe you've earned. Personal perspective: advocating for yourself is a form of service to yourself Recognize other stakeholders in the process: Modeling courage and advocacy for the next generation Authority enables ideas to be taken more seriously Stories gained from new responsibilities enhance value to clients or teams People you mentor, especially women or underrepresented groups The organization: your promotion can make it stronger Your family or children: showing them what it looks like to advocate Concrete examples Outcome: trajectory of career positively influenced, demonstrated courage, modeled behavior Asking first time for a manager role Later asking for VP title as a director Courage and small steps Courage = acting despite fear, not absence of fear Practice by taking incremental steps toward what scares you Avoid masking or hesitation; direct action builds confidence and results Persistence and follow-up Busy people require patience and multiple nudges Example: Mark Stubbings emailing Mark Benioff 53 times before a yes Persistence = respectful, consistent follow-ups Role modeling for women and minorities Demonstrates that asking is a normal, expected, and service-oriented act Many don't ask for promotions or raises due to upbringing or cultural norms Modeling advocacy teaches the next generation, including children, to speak up Service mindset in practice Approach self-promotion by asking: is this good for the other person? Keep intention aligned with service, not desperation Books for guidance: Setting the Table – Danny Meyer: service-driven sales and employee culture Unreasonable Hospitality – Will Guidara: lessons from the restaurant world on giving value and delight Key takeaways for promotion and asking Serve yourself, your mentees, your organization, and your broader audience Take small, courageous steps to ask for what you deserve Follow up respectfully and consistently; don't assume silence = no Self-promotion becomes easier and authentic when rooted in service, not fear or need Snafu Newsletter Weekly newsletter written by Robin Covers influence, persuasion, and modern workplace dynamics A resource for ongoing learning and practical insights 56:55 Where to Find Robin Robin's newsletter covers influence, persuasion, and modern work.

Brand transformation, loyalty, and partnerships sound “big brand”… until you realize the fundamentals are very human: be clear on strategy, make people feel seen, and test/learn/optimize with data.In this week's episode, I sit down with Sheila Butler, CMO and founder of Butler Marketing Group (and host of Marketing Over Bourbon) to unpack what she's learned shaping brands and loyalty programs across Disney, JP Morgan Chase/Bank One, Choice Hotels, and Axiom Bank.From launching the Disney Visa (and building a loyalty program from scratch) to reframing loyalty for small businesses, Sheila shares the behind-the-scenes moves that actually drive behavior and why “start by starting” might be the most underrated marketing strategy of all.We cover:Why most teams skip strategy (and why that's where performance breaks)The Disney Visa “Day One / Charter Card Member” idea and how emotional recognition creates sticky loyaltyWhat brand transformation looks like in practice (and why change management is the missing piece)How AI speeds up messaging and strategy work without replacing human judgmentLoyalty without a Disney-sized budget: recognition, personalization, and high perceived value at low costPartnership marketing done right: customer overlap, channel expansion, and the consumer “win” at the intersectionThe candid topic we avoid: where to cut when marketing budgets get slashedThe myth Sheila would bust: influencer marketing doesn't replace strategyKey Takeaways:Gorgeous creative won't save a campaign without a clear strategy.Loyalty is less about discounts and more about feeling valued.Partnerships work when they're built on data + mutual value, not gut feelings.AI is an accelerant but only if the strategy foundation is already there.“Start by starting.” Progress beats perfection every time.Connect with Sheila:Butler Marketing Group - https://www.butlermg.com/Linkedin : https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheilabutler/Follow Us:

The page lists products such as the Huxwrx Flow 556K suppressor and various SBR configurations. All items comply with National Firearms Act requirements and are available for purchase with appropriate ATF approvals. GOING BALLISTIC ATF's ‘Engaged in the Business' Rule Mirrors Canada's Firearms Confiscation Approach (Shooting Wire Analysis) The article argues that the ATF's Final Rule on the Definition of “Engaged in the Business” Selling Firearms and Ammunition, effective May 20, 2024, effectively enables a backdoor gun grab in the US similar to Canada's 2020 Order in Council banning over 1,500 firearms models. It claims the rule reclassifies private sales and occasional transfers as requiring a Federal Firearms License (FFL), mirroring Canada's prohibition-then-buyback strategy. The piece warns this erodes Second Amendment rights by criminalizing common firearm transactions without due process. Utah HB 431: GOP Rep. Cheryl Acton Pushes to Ban Open Carry on College Campuses (Savage) Utah Republican Representative Cheryl Acton has introduced House Bill 431 to prohibit the open carry of firearms on the campuses of public colleges and universities in the state. The bill targets loaded firearms visible to others, aiming to enhance campus safety amid concerns over gun violence. It applies specifically to institutions under the Utah Board of Higher Education. Tumbler Ridge Shooting Highlights Gun Control Arguments (Bearing Arms Analysis) (Savage) The article analyzes a shooting incident in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, where a man used a restricted firearm to kill two people before being stopped by an armed civilian. It critiques how gun control advocates exploit such tragedies to push for stricter laws despite existing severe restrictions on firearms in Canada. The piece argues that the incident demonstrates the consistent pattern of gun control arguments relying on emotional appeals rather than evidence of effectiveness. Bearing Arms: Reason Transgender Gun Ban Proposal Won't Advance (Savage) The article discusses a proposed federal rule by the Biden administration to prohibit firearm purchases by individuals with gender transition-related medical diagnoses, such as gender dysphoria. It argues the rule faces significant legal and political hurdles, including likely injunctions from courts that have blocked similar ATF actions. The author asserts it lacks momentum and is destined to fail. Shooting News Weekly Critique of Evidence-Free Claims on Guns and Public Safety Conflict (Savage) The article criticizes a purported expert's assertion of a conflict between concealed carry and public safety, labeling it as evidence-free hackery. It argues that such claims lack empirical support and misrepresent data on concealed carry impacts. The piece defends concealed carry by highlighting the absence of credible evidence linking it to increased public safety risks. New Mexico House Bill 86 (HB 86) Sweeping Gun Control Measure Scheduled for Hearing (Savage) New Mexico's House Bill 86 proposes comprehensive gun control measures including bans on assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and ghost guns, along with red flag laws and restrictions on open carry. The bill is set for a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on February 17, 2026. Sponsored by Rep. Rehm, it aims to address gun violence through multiple regulatory changes. REVIEWS Review: Jaqin Ta'Sox from Connecticut From; Jaqin Ta'Sox: Review I still think y'all are gay. But, regarding ep 647. I agree with Jerambay, 99%. I agree with Shawn as far as the narrative being twisted, disagree with most of his thoughts on the agents. Everyone who can legally carry should be able carry everywhere, full stop. The narrative of him carrying a 320 with spare mags to “cause chaos” is BS. The difference in Rittenhouse and the Minisota Nut, is in their choices. Rittenhouse didn't look for danger, danger found him, he ran away, then defended himself. Minisota nut, put himself in the middle of a wave of insanity. Had he gave the agents a buffer, he could've yelled and cursed all he wanted. Tragic, but justified. Review: From Jeff E Comment only. Liberals are the biggest fucking idiots. They try to tell us how Trump is a dick tator, while they do everything in their power to dismantle the Constitution, specifically 2A. The very things that were setup to limit government, not to limit us. Sadly, they don't teach this in school anymore, (about Constitution limiting government). While like in Illinois they call our politicians “lawmakers”, when they should be called servants.

Diane Heiler shares her deeply moving journey of caring for her husband during his 20‑month “death sentence” from an incurable disease — a journey she chronicles with raw honesty and artistry in her memoir, A Widow's Fire: An Intimate Memoir of Heartbreak, Survival, and Moving On. With poetry and art as lifelong companions, Diane turned to daily journaling to navigate the relentless progression of her husband's illness. Out of that quiet practice, poetry emerged — a lifeline and a mirror to her grief. In her poem See Me, she writes: See me… standing here with my broken heart in my hand… blowing kisses into the air and sending love up into the heavens… so far from where I am. After his passing, Diane retreated to her mountaintop home in North Carolina, seeking solitude in her sorrow. Months later, at her sister's urging, she reluctantly attended a country club dance — and unexpectedly, a new chapter began. From her poem My Christmas Blessing: I have been blessed with the presence of living in the light of someone special. He is gone from me now. But the afterglow of his goodness and his love is still shining through the windows in his heart and gracing my existence. I follow a light in the pathway he has drawn for me and see that in his wisdom he wants me to be safe, happy, and fulfilled. I am blessed. Diane's story reminds us that love continues in many forms — and that healing often begins in the most unexpected moments. “We stay true to ourselves even when others unfairly judge us.” - Diane Heiler CONNECT WITH DIANE: Email: misspriss12923@me.com Book: A Widow's Fire: An Intimate Memoir of Heartbreak, Survival, and Moving On.

In this episode of Faces of Digital Health, Tjaša Zajc speaks with Dale Atkinson, a stage 4 oesophageal cancer patient who was told he had 11.5 months to live—and who is still alive today. Dale shares how he applied his compliance and investigation skills to healthcare: reading thousands of research papers, building a research-grounded AI workflow to sense-check drug interactions and pathways, and learning how to communicate with clinicians to be taken seriously. We discuss patient agency, the doctor–patient relationship, the promise (and risks) of AI for patients, the digital divide in healthcare, and why quality of life must be central to care decisions. Dale also shares how his journey led to new work in patient advocacy, the Beyond the Standard foundation, and the Clear Path Clinic vision for integrative oncology and wellness. Topics include: patient empowerment, AI in patient journeys, evidence-based complementary approaches, healthcare equity, clinician workload, prognosis anxiety, and new patient-led models of care.

Episode #369 – The Fastest Way to Stabilize Email Results (No Fancy Segmentation Required) If your email results feel inconsistent, you might be trying to use every campaign like it's doing CPR — reviving cold subscribers, persuading on-the-fence people, and rewarding the warm people all in one send. That's exhausting, and it rarely works. Segmentation fixes this by doing one simple thing: it lets you choose the room before you choose the words. Because when you send one email to your entire list, you're speaking to people who are at totally different points in the conversation — and the message either becomes a compromise, or it only lands for a fraction of the room. In this episode, I walk you through the three essential segments that stabilize campaign performance fast: Engaged subscribers (your dependable audience + deliverability protector) Unengaged subscribers (the people you stop emailing by default — and put into a re-engagement/sunset lane instead) Recent buyers (the relationship window you protect so you don't keep selling at someone who just purchased) You'll also get a quick segmentation self-check (so you know when segmentation will actually reduce your workload), plus the common mistakes that make segmentation feel like "extra work" instead of strategy.

You started strong this year. Focused. Engaged. Tracking numbers. Then life happened. A tech quit. Cash got tight. You missed one meeting… then another. Now you're waiting for the “right time” to jump back in. That's the Zero Day Trap. In this episode of Just ONE Thing, Rick explains why shop owners don't fail because they stop — they struggle because they think they have to restart perfectly. That belief is killing momentum in auto repair shops everywhere. You'll learn how to stop restarting, use the Miss-Resume-Repeat framework, and eliminate zero days — even when your shop feels chaotic.
It's very important that parents are engaging and monitoring their children! When you leave children to their own devices, they turn to other people and things! It's detrimental that parents are of healthy mindsets because if they are not they will project their own unresolved issues onto their children, which leads to dysfunction in their children's lives. Monitor your children and know what they're entertaining. Spend quality time with your children, nuture them, and show them love! Unfortunately, sometimes, despite the good parenting, some children will still go the wrong way because they are enticed, influenced, persuaded, coerced, etc., by people and things that are no good for them. Parent's aren't with their school age children 24 hours a day, but as long as children are getting the proper care and attention from their parents, those parents should know they done the best and the right thing for them. Regardless, many children will go astray because of the other people and things that are in their environments and social circles, etc.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

Vic Verchereau welcomes Dominic Burkhard, who is Executive Director at 121 Capitol Connection. 121 Capitol Connection is an evangelism and encouragement ministry to state and federal legislators. The purpose of 121 Capitol Connection is to take the gospel to government officials. This is accomplished by creating a system, state by state, in which pastors and churches pursue personal relationships with their specific legislators for the sake of the gospel and by having a minister on the ground consistently in the Capitol. 121 Capitol Connection is active in Michigan, where it began as a state-wide ministry, but it has the long term goal of seeing every legislator in America matched up with at least one church in their district to minister to them consistently. In this edition of the Leadership Lowdown, host Vic Verchereau gets the mission clarity from Executive Director of 121 Capitol Connection, Dominic Burkhard.

1. United Nations Funding Crisis The United Nations is facing financial collapse because the United States has reduced or withdrawn funding. This is a move to stop funding “woke” & ideological programs. The UN is ineffective, bureaucratic, and overly dependent on U.S. taxpayer money. Symbolic examples (turned-off escalators, reduced heating) are used to emphasize desperation and mismanagement. The U.S. withdrew from 66 international organizations and treaties, framed as: Cost-saving Anti-globalist Pro-American sovereignty Many of these organizations are described as obscure, wasteful, or hostile to U.S. interests. The underlying message is that global institutions dilute U.S. power without delivering value. 2. Media Merger and National Security Concerns Focus shifts to a major media merger (Netflix / Warner Bros / Paramount context). Concerns raised include: Foreign influence, especially money from the Middle East or China National security implications Loss of American cultural control The argument is that entertainment media shapes public perception more than news. Hollywood and major streaming platforms are portrayed as: Predominantly left-wing Hostile to conservative viewpoints Engaged in ideological indoctrination Executives are challenged on whether their content fairly represents conservatives. The inability to name conservative-oriented programming is used as evidence of bias. The merger is framed as dangerous because it could: Concentrate cultural and political influence Amplify a single ideological viewpoint The Department of Justice and FCC are identified as key gatekeepers. The timeline for approval is described as months to years, with high stakes for media freedom. 3. Save America Act (Voter ID Legislation) Proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote Photo ID to vote The bill is common-sense and widely supported, including among minority voters. Democrats, particularly Chuck Schumer, are accused of: Using “Jim Crow” rhetoric to scare voters Ignoring polling that shows broad support for voter ID Opposition is attributed to: Desire to preserve election vulnerabilities Partisan strategy rather than public opinion Ballot harvesting is described as inherently vulnerable to abuse. Examples (nursing homes, paid operatives) are used to argue: Elderly and vulnerable voters can be exploited Ballots can be selectively discarded The Carter–Baker Commission is cited to legitimize these concerns. Acknowledges internal Republican resistance and logistical challenges. Emphasizes urgency and political pressure as tools to pass the bill. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

J&J dive into New Year's resolutions and float the idea that partners should choose each other's goals, mostly because Jordana would like to veto Mike's marathon plans. They get into listener emails, including one from a woman confused about being instantly unmatched for not sharing her number, and Jared explains why jumping straight to “Can I text you?” can backfire. In Petty or Prudent, a listener wonders if she may have crossed a line after throwing a situationship's forgotten car key into Lake Ontario. Oops! Inspired by Tell Me Lies season 3, Jared and Jordana debate a Red Flag or Dealbreaker where a man performs a song about his ex—while his new girlfriend watches from the crowd. They also unpack a nine-year on-and-off relationship that ends in an engagement ultimatum, and what it all says about boundaries, timing, and whether a relationship is actually right for you.
