AI is already changing education. So why are we still trying to hold back the tide? In this episode, Dan and Ray are joined by Dr Phil Cummins, educator, author, co-host of the Game Changers podcast, and Professor of Practice in Education and Leadership at the University of Sydney. Phil argues that education needs to stop "pearl-clutching" over AI and start thinking seriously about what it means for assessment, curriculum and the role of teachers. If students are already using AI, how do we design authentic assessment around the knowledge, skills, dispositions, habits and wisdom we actually want them to develop? The conversation ranges from Phil's beginnings teaching Latin to character education, equity, oracy and the danger of educational fads. At its heart is a powerful argument for the enduring importance of teachers: technology should amplify human relationships, not replace them. For school leaders, Phil's message is refreshingly straightforward: treat AI as a game, learn to use the tools, and find a way to win the game of AI.

Can an athlete become stronger, recover faster, and clean and jerk more than 440 pounds without eating meat? Three-time Olympian Kendrick Farris says the answer is yes. Kendrick represented the United States at the 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympic Games and was featured in the hit documentary The Game Changers. He ate a standard American diet during his first two Olympic appearances. By his third, he was completely plant-based—and he says the difference was extraordinary. Kendrick tells Chuck Carroll that he did not lose explosiveness after changing his diet. He believes he gained more, recovered faster, completed more work, and became stronger. He also opens up about growing up in poverty in Shreveport, Louisiana, where there were days when his family did not have enough food. When he asked his mother what they were eating, her answer was sometimes, "Fast and pray." That experience helped build the faith and discipline that would eventually carry him to the Olympic stage. In this episode: How much protein an Olympic weightlifter eats How his performance changed after going plant-based His experience competing nine times in one year Why recovery became his greatest advantage Why he replaced whey with plant-based protein The bloating he experienced before changing protein sources How to order plant-based food at any restaurant What The Game Changers did for plant-based athletes Why he believes strength is physical, mental, and spiritual The Physicians Committee's Plant-Powered Performance sports nutrition course begins Sept. 14 and features live instruction, expert Q&A, recordings, athlete-focused recipes, and practical strategies for improving energy, endurance, strength, and recovery.

This week on the podcast, the conversation is all about the Giants' impressive 8-7 record in their last 15 games, and the standout performances of Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge. The speaker is joined by Duane Kuiper, a Giants legend and current broadcaster, to break down the team's recent success and discuss the impact of Devers' incredible hitting. Kuiper shares his thoughts on the Giants' current winning streak, and how it's been a team effort with contributions from young players like Eldridge. He also talks about Devers' impressive stats, including his 35 home runs and 36 doubles, and how he's been a game-changer for the team.

The discussion also delves into the topic of umpires and their impact on the game, with Kuiper sharing his thoughts on the recent ejection of Tony V and the challenges of the ABS system.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Big Rich Klein sits down with rock-bouncing champion Tim Cameron, a Tennessee native whose passion for off-road racing began with four-wheelers, Jeeps, and hill climbs.Tim shares how he learned fabrication from Brian Cole and built his first full-tube-chassis buggy, Fat Girl. He discusses the evolution of his rigs, including Jenny Craig, Moon Rover, Hellraiser, Showtime, and Game Changer. His innovative use of a ProFab drop box helped redefine rock-bouncer drivetrain design.The conversation follows Tim's transition from wild hill climbs to competitive racing. After experiencing Ultra4 suspension technology firsthand with Randy Slawson, Tim embraced bypass shocks, trailing arms, and increased wheel travel. His redesigned buggies helped him win multiple consecutive championships and influenced the direction of rock-bouncing competition.Tim also recalls his 2015 King of the Hammers debut, where he and co-pilot Cole Shirley finished 11th despite fuel-system problems.After racing more than 40 weekends a year, Tim recognized burnout and took time away from competition. During that break, he discovered dirt late-model racing and began mastering an entirely different discipline.Today, Tim continues competing in rock bouncing while developing his dirt-track career. He discusses his current buggy, 100 Shots Reloaded, plans for a super late model, and the possibility of returning to Ultra4 racing. Support the show

Bad Bunny has just closed a massive chapter in his career and is now in a reflective, legacy-defining moment that a lot of listeners are talking about across news and social media. People magazine reports that he wrapped his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS world tour with two emotional final shows in Puerto Rico, branded “Cerramos en Casa,” bringing the entire run back to where it all began for him. In those concerts he didn't just run through the hits; he stopped to speak directly about Puerto Rico's ongoing water and power crises, turning the stadium into a kind of town hall and telling fans he wanted to use his platform to keep those issues visible. According to that coverage, the last songs of the tour were “DtMF” and “EoO,” and the whole production was framed as the end of an era that included his Album of the Year win at the 2026 Grammys and his history-making Super Bowl halftime performance entirely in Spanish. Cultural commentary this week is picking up on what that era means. A recent analysis from Princeton's orbit, highlighted by the business outlet News Is My Business, breaks down how Bad Bunny built a global presence while staying rooted in Puerto Rican Spanish, slang, and politics. They point out that he didn't pivot into English to “cross over,” he made the world come to him, and that's now being studied as a model for how non‑English artists can dominate on their own terms. Another essay from Cloaking In Equity, written after seeing him both in Mexico City and at the final Puerto Rico shows, argues that his popularity comes from that mix of vulnerability, gender-fluid aesthetics, and unapologetically Caribbean identity, and notes that he once considered hiding behind a mask but instead chose radical visibility. On the live side, social posts from outlets like IQ Magazine this week are still sharing striking images from the end of the tour, including a shot of Benito emerging from beneath the stage in all white, strobes cutting through the dark, emphasizing how theatrical and cinematic this production has been from start to finish. Fans are clipping those moments on Instagram and TikTok with captions about “growing up with Bad Bunny” and treating these last Puerto Rico dates like the end of a personal chapter in their own lives. There's also a lot of retrospective buzz: local institutions such as the Science Museum of Virginia are still promoting their Bad Bunny laser shows by reminding listeners that he became the first musical artist to perform a Super Bowl halftime show entirely in Spanish, cementing his place in mainstream U.S. pop history. Commentators in Puerto Rican business and academic circles are using this moment—tour done, awards in hand—to ask what his success means for the island's economy, for Spanish-language media, and for younger artists who see him as proof that you don't have to dilute your culture to go global. At the same time, the sneaker and streetwear world continues to orbit him; recent sneaker coverage ties his name to new adidas collaborations, reinforcing how his brand now crosses from music into fashion, sports marketing, and lifestyle in a way that keeps his presence in the culture even when he's not actively dropping a new album. So right now, in these last seven days, the story around Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio is less about a surprise track or scandal and more about a victory lap: a record-breaking tour ending at home, a wave of think pieces and academic analysis about how he changed the rules for Spanish-language pop, and a fanbase processing what comes after this era.

President Trump has announced a historic oil deal with Venezuela which grants the U.S. access to billions of barrels in proven reserves. FOX Business Network Contributor and Oil Market Analyst at the Price Futures Group Phil Flynn joins the Rundown to explain why the agreement could be a "generational game changer" for the nation's energy security, how it impacts the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the immediate impact on pump prices and why a "new era of low prices" is on the horizon. After devastating flooding and mudslides swept through the mountainous Nepal-China border, hundreds are dead and thousands remain missing, including dozens of Americans. As rescue crews work to reach isolated communities in the Himalayas and families search for loved ones, questions remain about what caused the catastrophic landslide and debris flow.

Episode 183: Game Changer Strategy For Your Faith and Business   Sometimes the breakthrough you're believing God for starts with something that has already happened.   In this episode, I'm sharing a simple but powerful strategy for building faith in your business, ministry, and life: your testimony. When God has done something once, it becomes a reminder of what He can do again. Instead of overlooking your wins or comparing yourself to someone else's breakthrough, I want to encourage you to recognize what God has already done and put that testimony on repeat.   In this episode, you'll discover: Why your testimony can become a powerful source of faith for your next breakthrough How to take the wins you've experienced in business and use them to build your confidence for what's next Why you should repeat and share your testimonies instead of keeping them to yourself How to shift from comparison and jealousy when someone else experiences a breakthrough What it looks like to create an atmosphere of faith around the things you're believing God for Why stretching yourself and dreaming bigger can create opportunities for God to receive the glory   If you're entering a new season in your business and wondering what God might do next, I want you to look back before you look forward. What has He already done? What testimony can you put on repeat?   Let that become the anthem you carry into your next season. If this episode encourages you, send it to a Christian woman in business who needs a faith boost, and let me know what testimony you're believing God to repeat in your life.   Want more free resources to help you grow your business and overcome what's holding you back?

Episode OverviewOn this episode of The Butcher Shop fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash welcomes back Kirk Klingensmith for Part Two of their Science of Streamers conversation, this time digging into the physics behind swim flies and the Game Changer platform. Klingensmith brings an engineer's eye to the vise, breaking down why doubling a fly's length doesn't mean doubling its diameter and why that distinction matters more than most tiers realize.The conversation opens with the geometry of drag: length scales linearly, but diameter drives drag by the square, so a modest increase in diameter has an outsized effect on a fly's action. From there, Klingensmith and Cash trace how turbulence created at the front of a swim fly, whether from a deer hair lip, a cupped popper head or simply a bulky front-loaded profile, sets up the unstable eddy currents that make the rear of the fly undulate on the retrieve. They cover material choices (marabou, rabbit, craft fur, Flashabou) that add movement, the role of shank engineering and segmentation in producing a serpentine swim, and how stinger hook placement and connection material (wire, gel-spun, mono) change both the fly's action and its hookup rate on short-striking fish. A highlight of the episode is Klingensmith's breakdown of Brian Shumaker's Shimmering Minnow and the "hover and twitch" presentation he uses on pressured smallmouth bass in warm summer water.Key TakeawaysHow to scale a streamer's diameter separately from its length, since drag increases geometrically with diameter while length scales in linear proportionWhy turbulence-inducing elements like a deer hair lip, a cupped popper head or an oversized front profile make a swim fly kick and undulate on the retrieve instead of just sinking straightWhen to fish a swim fly on a dead-stop hover rather than a fast retrieve, particularly for pressured smallmouth bass in warm summer waterHow to use material mass and segment placement to dial in a tighter or more gradual S-curve swimming action on an articulated flyWhy adding a stinger hook can improve hookups on short-striking predatory fish while also changing how much mass and crash the tail of the fly carriesHow fly designers use a "chassis" mindset, treating patterns like the Clouser Minnow or Game Changer as adaptable platforms rather than fixed recipesTechniques & Gear CoveredKlingensmith explains swim fly action as a function of engineered turbulence: a drag-inducing front end (a lip, a cupped head or simply a bulky profile) creates unstable eddy currents that the rear of the fly follows, producing the swimming motion, while a laminar (streamlined) front would produce no swim at all. He details how progressively smaller shanks toward the tail increase segmentation and produce a more serpentine undulation, and how adding mass to those rear segments dampens the action into a slower, more gradual S-curve. On stinger hook rigging, he walks through connection options (wire, gel-spun, mono) and how hook placement and gauge affect both the fly's swim and its hook-up percentage on fish that nip at the tail rather than eating the head. Named patterns discussed include the Game Changer platform and two of its variants, the Jerk Changer and the Feather Changer, along with the Drunk & Disorderly, Brian Shumaker's Shimmering Minnow, the Clouser Minnow, Bob Popovics' Beast Fleye and Chris Walker's Kreelex-variant, a stinger-hook trout streamer designed for brown trout that key on the tail.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhy don't fly proportions scale linearly when you size up a streamer pattern?Because drag from a cylindrical or spherical shape increases geometrically with diameter while length only scales linearly. Klingensmith explains that it's reasonable to scale a fly's length proportionally when going from, say, four inches to six inches, but the diameter should only be increased modestly, not scaled by the same ratio, or the fly's action and drag profile will be thrown off.What makes a swim fly like the Game Changer move with a swimming action instead of just sinking?The action comes from turbulence engineered into the front of the fly. A lip, a cupped popper head or simply a bulky, non-streamlined front end creates a drag source that generates unstable eddy currents, and the rest of the fly follows those currents on the retrieve. A streamlined, laminar-flow front would not produce this swimming motion.How does adding a stinger hook affect a swim fly's action and hookup rate?It depends heavily on how the shank-to-stinger connection is built, whether with wire, gel-spun line or mono, and whether the hook is left free or incorporated into the tail material. Stinger hooks are especially effective on predatory fish that nip at a fly's tail rather than striking the head, and shorter-shank designs like octopus hooks tend to hold hooked fish more securely than long-shank hooks.What is the "hover and twitch" technique Kirk Klingensmith uses for pressured smallmouth?Rather than burning the fly back with a fast retrieve, Klingensmith lays the Shimmering Minnow within six inches of structure and lets it twitch and suspend with almost no forward motion, letting subtle microcurrent movement do the work. He believes this near-motionless presentation gives pressured smallmouth, especially in warm water, something they haven't already learned to refuse.How can fly tiers control the tightness of a swim fly's S-curve swimming action?By adjusting material mass in the segments behind the head. Lighter segments produce a tighter, more pronounced undulation, while adding more mass and gradually stepping it down through the rear segments dampens the action into a slower, more gradual S-curve.SponsorsThanks to TroutRoutes for sponsoring this episode.
