The Astros certainly aren't perfect, but they're still sitting atop the AL West and fighting for October. ITL asks whether Houston might be becoming a more dangerous team at exactly the right time.

Most of what passes for leadership advice today is polish. You say the right things, avoid conflict, perform confidence until you believe it yourself. This episode is about the opposite. We're talking about what happens when you stop performing and start operating: how to build relationships that are actually real instead of transactional, how to handle conflict without flinching or blowing it up, and why the most effective leaders aren't the cleanest; they're the ones willing to own their flaws and use them. We get into the idea of the "antihero." He's not a villain, not a saint, but someone pragmatic enough to do what the moment requires instead of what looks good on camera. We talk about credibility versus performative influence, why so much content today is loud but hollow, and how the stories we tell ourselves (culturally and individually), shape whether we actually grow or just look like we are. If you're tired of leadership advice that sounds good and does nothing, this one's for you.

I started this podcast in 2021 based on my love for Korean Dramas. InfatuAsian has evolved over the years, but it has always been a dream to speak with someone from the industry. I couldn't believe my good fortune in being able to interview an actress at the top of her craft. Jung YunHa played an obsessive ex-wife opposite Gong Yoo in The Trunk, and a murderous corporate mercenary in Shop for Killers 2. Her character portrayals are mesmerizing and impressive. I'm a huge fan. Thank you to @sarament_official for making our meeting happen. And a huge thank you, YunHa for stepping out of your comfort zone and speaking English with me!  Follow Yunha @kateyhjung and do yourself a favor and watch The Trunk on Netflix and Shop For Killers 2 on Hulu/Disney+!  Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Jay Hatfield calls the current Fed "super hawkish" but sees the FOMC holding interest rates due to what he considers an unrealistic 2% inflation goal. He expects to see September volatility that will lead to a "fall stall" in equities but sees the S&P 500 (SPX) tapping 8,250 by year's end.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Send us Fan MailI do not like mutual funds of any shape or size. Thus, when a friend asked me for help in selecting ETFs for his multi-million dollar portfolio, I was quick to let him know my feeling about funds. This week's podcast gets into my concerns about funds and it brings back memories of seeing my portfolio of supposedly safe mutual funds lose $300,000 over three years.As I explain this week, with a fund you are blindly sold on putting your money into something that you have no control over, whose contents can change on a fund manager's whim and is almost impossible to determine its strength. You are much further ahead to build a portfolio of 20 financially strong diverse companies paying high dividends who for the last two decades have shown consistent growth in their share price and dividend payouts. Each of the managers of these 20 strong dividend stocks would have proven they know how to make a profit and grow a company. With a fund all you have is a big blob of stocks that are almost impossible to analyze today and may change at any moment.Ian Duncan MacDonald Author and Commercial Risk Consultant,President of  Informus Inc                              2 Vista Humber Drive                               Toronto, Ontario                                Canada, M9P 3R7                                 Toronto Telephone - 416-245-4994                                   imacd@informus.ca

Black on Black Cinema tackles Chameleon Street (1989), Wendell B. Harris Jr.'s astonishing writer-director-star debut based on the true story of Detroit con artist William Douglas Street Jr., who successfully impersonated reporters, lawyers, an Ivy League exchange student, and even a surgeon, performing over 30 real hysterectomies without any medical training. The film won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1990, beating out Reservoir Dogs, and then inexplicably went without distribution for over a year, effectively burying Harris's career before it started.The concept is genuinely brilliant, a razor-sharp satire about race, class, and identity performance in America, anchored by a magnetic, one-of-a-kind lead performance from Harris himself. But the execution is a different story. The film is tonally unpredictable, structurally chaotic, and at times narratively difficult to follow, swinging wildly between avant-garde experimentation and straightforward biopic beats without clear rhythm. We break down what makes Chameleon Street a genuine one-of-a-kind vision worth seeking out, where the filmmaking gets in its own way, and why this would be ripe for a modern remake with better structure and focus.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

Welcome to another episode of the Daughters of the Moon Podcast! In this episode, Kim and Barb welcome Shavonne V. Readus for a fascinating conversation about trusting yourself, finding authenticity, breaking old patterns, and coming home to who you truly are.Shavonne has always been drawn to mysteries, intuition, tarot, divination, and the things in life that can't always be easily explained. Her curiosity began early. She even jokes about being the eighth grader who brought a Ouija board to Field Day at her Catholic middle school! From there, her fascination with the mystical continued to grow.We talk about what happens when we continue to repeat the same patterns in our lives. If we keep doing what we've always done, how can we expect to create something different?We explore the importance of asking ourselves:What were you interested in before you were told what you should be interested in?Sometimes the things that fascinated us as children can lead us back to important pieces of ourselves that we left behind.Shavonne shares her perspective on:

Job forces a third category of suffering in our theology Consequence of sin To draw us to faith, grow us But what about Job? To be fair, Job's three friends came to him in his greatest time of need. Their advice comes in 3 Rounds: Round 1: Job, you have to be the source! Round 2: Job, you have to be stupid! Round 3: Job, you have the solution! Remember… Hurting in the Lord is not simple Waiting on the Lord is not passive Trusting in the Lord is not surrendering Walking with the Lord is essential If you find yourself sitting with someone suffering… Pray first Serve second Speak third And when you speak… Speak only absolute truth from God's word Speak often of Christ and His power, love, and control Speak of obedience that is only driven by the gospel and empowered by The Spirit

George Whitefield was the most prominent voice of the Great Awakening, yet he was also complicit in the system of chattel slavery. On this episode, David Wollen and Dr. Thomas Kidd honestly examine that difficult tension and consider what it teaches us about the Gospel.

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes turn up the heat with "Backdraft", Ron Howard's 1991 firefighter thriller starring Kurt Russell, William Baldwin, Robert De Niro, and Donald Sutherland.Both Mike Butler and Mike Field are big fans of the film, particularly its performances and incredible practical fire effects. Butler singles out Kurt Russell and Donald Sutherland, while Field goes even further and unapologetically LOVES the movie.There are still a few story beats and character decisions that keep Butler from loving "Backdraft" quite as much as Field does. Field agrees that those problems are there, but for him they do little to diminish everything the movie gets right.The biggest standout for both Mikes is the filmmaking itself. The fire feels genuinely dangerous because so much of what appears on screen was accomplished practically, with enormous sets, real flames, and performers doing much of their own stunt work. The result gives "Backdraft" a physicality and sense of danger that is incredibly difficult to fake.That leads to a larger discussion about whether a movie like this could even look as convincing if it were made today. Thirty-five years later, a remake would almost certainly rely far more heavily on green screen and CGI, but would that actually make the fire look better? For Butler and Field, "Backdraft" is a great example of why practical filmmaking can still produce images that modern technology struggles to replicate.Flawed in places but spectacular where it counts, "Backdraft" remains a thrilling piece of early '90s filmmaking and a reminder that sometimes the best special effect is simply putting the camera in front of the real thing.What are some other great fire fighter films? Let us know in the comments below!

In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we give our full spoiler-filled House of the Dragon Season 3 review, breaking down the second half of the season, the epic finale, Battle of Tumbleton, Rhaenyra's transformation, Sheepstealer, Rhaena, Ormund Hightower, and our biggest theories for House of the Dragon Season 4. But first, we've got a 20-minute cold open! COLD OPEN: FIRST 20 MINUTES We begin with a debate about comic book movie adaptations and how closely movies should follow their source material. Why can Spider-Man: Brand New Day drastically differ from its comic book namesake without receiving much criticism, while Supergirl was heavily criticized for changing elements of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow? Is faithfulness to the source material actually important, or does it depend on expectations? Nobody necessarily expected Spider-Man: Brand New Day to directly adapt the comics, while Supergirl was marketed as an adaptation of Woman of Tomorrow. We discuss whether expectations, rather than comic book accuracy itself, are what ultimately shape fan reactions. ICE CREAM MAN MOVIE We then discuss Eli Roth's Ice Cream Man horror movie... and we're already worried without even seeing it. We're big fans of the Ice Cream Man comics and praise their creativity, disturbing horror, mystery, thought-provoking storytelling, and incredibly unique premise. Unfortunately, we think the movie appears to be stripping away much of what makes the comic special in favor of something far more generic. We discuss why the adaptation feels disconnected from its source material and why we're skeptical of Eli Roth's approach. HOUSE OF THE DRAGON SEASON 3 After the cold open, we return to Westeros for our full discussion of House of the Dragon Season 3 Episodes 5-8. We previously reviewed Episodes 1-4, and now it's time to determine whether Season 3 stuck the landing. FULL HOUSE OF THE DRAGON SPOILERS! We discuss: • The Battle of Tumbleton and the finale's incredible action • Rhaenyra's increasingly dark transformation • Rhaena and Sheepstealer • Ormund Hightower emerging as a wonderfully conniving villain • The Dance of the Dragons • The season's biggest twists and surprises • Character motivations and development • The uneven pacing • Underdeveloped supporting characters • Our favorite and least favorite moments • Where the story goes in Season 4 • Who survives the coming war The action throughout Season 3 is spectacular, and the Battle of Tumbleton gives us some of the epic dragon warfare we've been waiting to see. We also loved watching Rhaenyra's heel turn continue as the war changes her, while characters such as Ormund Hightower brought some much-needed personality and scheming to the conflict. But we have one MAJOR problem with the series: Who are we supposed to root for? We love morally complex characters. Game of Thrones built its reputation on complicated, flawed people. But morally gray doesn't have to mean emotionally distant. At this point, we're struggling to find a main character we genuinely want to rally behind. The spectacle is incredible, but without characters we're emotionally invested in, some of the biggest moments don't hit as hard as they should. Despite those criticisms, we still enjoyed House of the Dragon Season 3 and believe it's an improvement over Season 2. Now we're looking ahead and hoping the series can bring the Dance of the Dragons to a satisfying conclusion. JOIN THE DISCUSSION Did you enjoy House of the Dragon Season 3? Was the Battle of Tumbleton worth the wait? What do you think of Rhaenyra's transformation? And most importantly: Who are YOU rooting for? Let us know in the comments!

Mark is joined by Duane Patterson, contributor at Hot Air, host of the Duane's World podcast, and producer of The Hugh Hewitt Show, and the two discussed Duane's 47 years of experience as a Little League umpire, recent inaccuracies in political polling models, key primary election results across Wisconsin and Minnesota, and the White House press secretary transition. The discussion dives into the mechanics of a bizarre appeal-play rule during a recent MLB game and contrasts it with Little League base-coaching rules. They examine why modern political polling models frequently misfire, explore candidate dynamics in the Minnesota gubernatorial and Senate primary contests, and analyze potential replacements following Karoline Leavitt's departure as White House spokesperson.

When God wanted to share His message of love, surprisingly He chose to use people to reach people. Flawed, fallible, foible-filled people. Ahh, but the power of the message is not in us messengers, it’s built in to the message. And the boldness and direction we need is built in to us by the Spirit who lives within us. Pastor Greg Laurie discusses that today on A NEW BEGINNING as he continues a message from his brand new series in Acts – a series called The Upside-Down Life. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

This week Bishop Paul began a new 10-week series, The Gospel According to Joseph: The Lord with Us in All Things, exploring how God works through the brokenness of ordinary people to accomplish his purposes. Joseph’s pride, his brothers’ hatred, and their father Jacob’s favoritism remind us that our greatest problem isn’t the difficult people around us—it's the fact that we, too, are difficult people. Yet through it all, God remains faithful, pointing us to the greater Joseph, Jesus, who was betrayed so that God’s family could be reconciled and restored.

This week on Disorder latest, Jason is joined by Dr Florence Gaub, futurist, military strategist, and Director of the Research Division at the NATO Defense College. Florence has spent her career thinking professionally about something most of us do rather badly: systematically plan for the future.    Her book, The Future: A User's Guide, was a best seller in German. It is now available in English from Hurst. It argues that the future is not simply something that happens to us. We imagine it, fear it, misunderstand it and — crucially — in thinking about it in certain flawed ways, help create it.    Jason and Florence discuss why humans are simultaneously obsessed with the future and terrible at thinking about it: from catastrophising and the Cassandra Complex to optimism bias, surprise and science fiction. They explore why governments are so often blindsided by seemingly predictable crises — and whether strategic foresight can help Orderers stop responding to yesterday's problems.    In Ordering the Disorder, they discuss how imagining positive futures might itself be a tool for Ordering the Disorder.    Producer: Sam Cluley    Subscribe to our Substack - https://natoandtheged.substack.com/    Disorder on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DisorderShow    Show Notes Links:  Buy Florence Gaub's The Future: A User's Guide: https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/the-future/    Read about Florence and her work at the NATO Defense College: https://www.ndc.nato.int/research/researchers/florence-gaub/    Listen to Florence on NATO 2099 and strategic foresight: https://www.nato.int/en/news-and-events/articles/news/2024/12/20/nato-through-time-podcast-nato-2099-with-dr-florence-gaub    Read Florence on futurism, geopolitics and the risks of stumbling into wider war: https://english.elpais.com/international/2026-03-03/florence-gaub-natos-futurist-you-can-slide-into-a-world-war-even-if-nobody-wants-it.html      For our collaboration with the Epstein Book Club who are running our Andrew Lownie Episode see here: https://www.epsteinfilesbookclub.com/the-british-component-disorder-podcast-cross-post/     Learn more about your ad choices.

Valenti and Rico began the final hour with a reset on today's main topic, Tarik Skubal. They expanded on some past comments from the Tigers ace and why they fly in the face of everything he's actually done, not said, before they opened up the phone lines for the remainder of the show.

Survivor 42's Omar Zaheer joins The Exclusive to recap Week 3 of Big Brother 28, breaking down Kamu's Head of Household reign, the controversial Tea Party plan, and why he believes the house could be on the verge of imploding. Omar shares his thoughts on Dee and Rick Devens' games so far, whether the veterans are overplaying their positions, how the Diamond Power of Veto could reshape the season, and why players like Lyric, Barrett, Taylor, and Mallory may be in better spots than fans realize. Plus, Omar reveals his current winner pick, his biggest dark horse, and explains the strategic move he'd make if he were trying to take down the vets.

Set Apart - Pt 6 - Character Counts: Integrity in Leadership & Life (2 Kings 9-10, Micah 6:6-8) In a modern culture that routinely excuses bad behavior for the sake of political or strategic wins, today's Christians are often tempted to lower the bar on character. But the cautionary tales of Israel and Judah's kings reveal a sobering truth: integrity is far more important than policy—both in those who lead us and in the lives we live ourselves.

Shukri reviews the film, Young Washington.

Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss the fragile US-Iran ceasefire and a flawed memorandum concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Roggio argues the agreement effectively grants Iran control, while Haqqani notes GCC countries feel excluded and wary of de-escalation on Iranian terms. The US lacks a plan to force Iranian understanding of consequences. 1
