You don't want flowers.You want reassurance.If he can post a story, he can send a sentence that says “I care about you.”This episode is for every woman who feels crazy for needing words - because guess what? You're not clingy. You're not insecure. You're under-affirmed.We're unpacking why hearing “I love you,” “I'm proud of you,” or “I'm here” hits like emotional oxygen… and why silence feels like abandonment.If his silence makes you overthink,if you keep replaying one compliment for three weeks,if you've ever begged a man to just communicate —you're in the right place.Hit play and stop settling for men who “feel it” but can't say it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gen Z is entering adulthood in one of the toughest economies in decades, facing record debt, soaring housing costs, and limited job prospects. Their financial struggles may be starting to shape how they vote and who they trust to fix the economy. FOX News contributor and Gen Z'er Kaylee McGee White joins the Rundown to discuss how financial pressures are influencing the next generation's politics, leading some of them to support anti-establishment candidates like Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump. On Monday, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa became the first Syrian leader to visit the White House. Al-Sharaa, who assumed leadership of Syria after leading a rebel group that overthrew the Assad regime, was previously a militant in an al-Qaeda-linked group and was captured by American forces while fighting against the U.S. in Iraq in 2006. FOX News senior correspondent Benjamin Hall joins the Rundown to discuss Monday's extraordinary White House meeting, whether America should trust al-Sharaa given his 'rough past,' and what a friendly relationship between Syria and the U.S. could mean for the region. Plus, commentary from Brian Kilmeade, co-host of FOX News' FOX & Friends. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Live at Kilkenomics, we welcome Roscommon's own economics star Kyla Scanlon author of In This Economy for a fast, funny, and razor-sharp tour of where money and mood collide. We get into her “vibecession” idea on why feelings beat spreadsheets, the AI splash that's propping up markets, and why America is drifting from a work economy to a casino economy. Why are unprofitable companies dominating the stock market? What happens when a whole generation treats the economy like a casino? And how did social media become both the marketplace and the message? From America's leveraged bet on tech to Ireland's own Gen Z drift, we follow the vibes, the volatility, and the very weird definition of adulthood emerging in 2025. Hosted on Acast.

In today's episode, we explore whether MrBeast's pivot from giving away money to managing it marks a natural evolution or a red flag and if we looking at the rise of a financial services super-app that competes with banks—or a NerdWallet-style affiliate play that sells Gen Z customers to other financial service providers?

Back in October, Nick Fuentes, the Gen Z white nationalist influencer, was trending in the news after a leaked Young Republicans chat revealed how his ideas were taking hold in some conservative circles. Then, just a week or so later, Fuentes sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson. That 2-hour interview triggered a crisis amongst the GOP's top brass that pitted major conservative influencers against each other, and garnered headlines declaring the start of a Republican “civil war.” For this midweek podcast extra, host Micah Loewinger called up Zack Beauchamp, senior correspondent for Vox, to wade through the fallout around Fuentes and Carlson, and break down what this tells us about antisemitism in American politics.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

The evil eye lives in your group chat. Did I stutter? Ever notice the SECOND you share good news - your life collapses faster than a Nature Valley bar? Same.One minute I'm being loved correctly, soft life era unlocked… Next minute? Like not even 24 hours later - I break my foot, bleed from my privates, and end up crawling around my house like a feral naked raccoon throwing up on my hardwood floors with my milk bags hanging low, while I genuinely wonder how I got here.The evil eye is REAL. But it doesn't come from your enemies… it comes from your friends - the ones cheering the loudest… right until you start winning. Most of them don't even realise they're subconsciously sending you bad energy… just because your happiness reminds them of the places they're not.Protect your wins. Protect your joy.

Alright we are back with the WORK Net/Net. Here's what we've got:Gen Z isn't into you as their boss, whatever project you have them working on or the free snacks (just kidding they love snacks).

PSA to the Gen Z crowd: This is not a new phenomenon.Thirteen signs it's time to quit your job. This one goes out to all the job huggers out there and my favorite former colleague whose computer password was Getajob (for 21 months in a row).Lastly we talk about being emotionally regulated at work compliments of Warren Buffett.

With young men taking a nosedive detour away from President Trump, MAGA gets put on blast: AMERICA WANTS RESULTS and swift economic relief. The Trump admin hears the cry - but will it act fast enough to bring Gen Z men back into the fold? Democrats will kill the filibuster and so the republicans must beat them to it. Progressivism is becoming more appealing to a growing number of people.

Tim and Mary Danielsen take a look at the current news cycle, which, as always it seems, moves forward to a specific end more and more. It's easy to just be detached because the news is uniquely bad; but do we stand back often enough to see the big picture? Everything is moving toward a prophesied end and that gets more obvious by the day. And that it is going there guided by the Hand of History should never be taken for granted by us mere earthlings. Yeah, Communism is bad; it has never succeeded; and it will enslave us as sure as the digital dollar. But the real story should probably be the one about Islam which will also enslave us and cost us our head if we stand firm. American voters think that what's best for us is always something different, but history shows that is a very dangerous mindset. According to FOX, Gen Z voted for Trump and Mamdani for the same reason: change. The level of shortsightedness here is astounding. We also talk about Kristallnacht, Yad Vashem (Holocaust museum in Israel) and more.

“And we got a new Beatles song. I can't believe we're talking about the Beatles…. But John Lennon recorded a really corrupted vocal before he tragically died, and it was just kind of there because of some stem separation tech that is only possible because of machine learning. They were able to clean up the vocals, fully on board with the John Lennon estate and the remaining Beatles members, and there's a few others, but this is interesting. It's just, it's a new way of engaging with audio that people, fans are showing that they really like.” – Drew ThurlowThis episode's guest is a former professional musician turned music executive and strategist. He served as Senior Vice President of A&R at Sony Music and has held leadership roles at both Pandora and Warner Music.

I would so appreciate that.(0:00:00) - Evolution of Music Industry and TasteOur conversation starts off with Drew's early memories of sound and his start as a musician. “I was one of those kids,” he recalls, “who just didn't have idle time without a guitar in my hands, and I didn't think too much about it. I wasn't super self-reflective about it, I just kind of like followed my instincts and continued to do that.” He tells us more about his career journey as a music executive and explains how much the business has changed since he first started out. “There's the whole influencer thing wrapped up in it,” he says, “and the way people, especially Gen Z and younger millennials, fall in love with personalities and artists is different. It's not necessarily bad, it's just different.”(0:12:36) - AI Impact on Music IndustryAs the first half of our discussion wraps up, we turn to the question of whether AI might replace human artists, and Drew offers some surprising statistics. “From our best, really good estimates by places like Deezer and Spotify,” he says, “AI-generated music, even though it's a measurable percentage of all the songs on [digital service providers], is a third of a percent of the royalty pool, and I just want to reiterate that it is a rounding error. Nobody wants this music.” He shares his thoughts on where AI is heading and some of the ways it might help transform the music industry. “On the business side,” he tells us, “there's a lot of evidence that these fans want to engage with music in cool and interesting ways, and these AI tech tools allow them

Tara exposes the shocking new reality of the U.S. housing market — where the average homebuyer is now fifty-nine years old. From Realtor Magazine changing its cover to feature retirees instead of young couples, to Trump's floated “fifty-year mortgage,” this episode dives deep into how runaway federal spending, immigration pressures, and stagnant wages have shattered homeownership dreams for Gen Z and Millennials. Tara connects the dots between reckless fiscal policies, rising housing costs, and the economic future of the country — a wake-up call to what happens when America follows the same path as overextended nations abroad.

Tara examines a turbulent weekend in U.S. cities, highlighting escalating attacks on ICE and Border Patrol agents, including car rammings and shootings in Chicago by cartel-affiliated gangs like the Eighteenth Street Gang and MS-13. She exposes the failures in immigration enforcement that allow violent offenders to remain at large, including international fugitives and convicted murderers released under Democratic leadership. The episode also dives into the H-1B visa debate, exploring how these programs may suppress American wages and create de facto indentured servitude, sparking outrage among Gen Z and U.S. workers.

In this episode, Sidney discusses the Gen-Z satire film with an unexpected plot twist, Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022).

Gen Z women are the most liberal group in America. That's according to the nonprofit newsroom, The 19th. Polls show young women are fueling the Democratic advantage in the U.S. It played out in real time during last week's elections. In recent episodes of this program, we've discussed how an increasing number of young men are moving to the political right. This hour, we discuss why young women are moving to the political left and how they helped fuel recent Democratic victories.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!The ground beneath Catholic life is moving: a diocese weighs merger, a flagship university faces succession questions, and a younger right is quietly mastering the mechanics of power. We open with Steubenville's crossroads and the outsized influence of charismatic figures like Scott Hahn—how donor gravity, faculty recruitment, and reputation hinge on personalities, and what happens when those anchors age out. That sparks a bigger question we can't dodge: can Catholic institutions renew themselves without a clear plan for leadership and community stability?From there we zoom out to the media and political ecosystem. Critics warn about Groypers infiltrating DC, but miss what makes the movement resilient: a culture of praxis that turns talking points into step‑by‑step action. We unpack the generational clash as older voices lean on moral alarm while younger Catholics ask for mentorship, not gatekeeping. The real divide forming isn't over liturgy; it's over whether we keep outsourcing our hopes to a spent conservative order or build policy around Catholic social teaching—curbing usury, strengthening families, and defending place over “just move.”We don't sanitize hard topics or excuse reckless behavior. We insist on charity as a boundary, reject dehumanization, and argue that serious strategy beats viral outrage. If the old guard wants relevance, it must confront the debt, housing, and wage realities that make Gen Z cynical. If the young right wants durability, it must build institutions and habits that outlast personalities. Between these paths lies a rare chance to renew Catholic witness in public life.Subscribe for future episodes, share this one with a friend who cares about the Church's future, and leave a review with your take: is the next Catholic fault line already here?Support the showWe discuss the news of Thomas Massie's recent marriage, the new DDF document on Marian titles, and more!Take advantage of great Catholic red wines by heading over to https://recusantcellars.com/ and using code "BASED" for 10% off at checkout!********************************************************Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssRumble: https://rumble.com/c/AvoidingBabylon

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1194: Today we're talking about the next generation of car buyers shaking up the F&I office, Jim Farley's humbling EV teardown that's reshaping Ford's strategy, and BYD's jaw-dropping megafactory in China that's literally larger than San Francisco. Show Notes with links:Born digital and raised on instant access, Gen Z is reshaping how dealerships sell protection, financing, and paperwork. CDK's 2025 F&I Shopper Study shows this generation demands transparency, security, and flexibility at every step.Gen Z buyers are twice as likely to purchase six or more F&I products compared to older generations.They're especially drawn to security and theft protection, with 29% selecting theft protection versus a 23% average.69% finance outside the dealership, often coming pre-approved with online or bank-based loans.Surprisingly, 53% still prefer paper signatures, though a quarter favor a hybrid process.“Dealers who adapt with flexibility, transparency, and security-focused offerings will capture Gen Z's loyalty — and their $12 trillion in future buying power,” the report concludes.Ford CEO Jim Farley says tearing apart Teslas and Chinese EVs was a “shocking” wake-up call that exposed how far traditional automakers must go to stay competitive — and why Ford can't afford to back down from electric vehicles.Teardowns of Tesla's Model 3 showed 1.6 km less wiring than Ford's Mach-E, proving how much efficiency Ford needed to gain.The discovery led Farley to create Ford's Model E division, which lost $5 billion in 2024 — but he stands by the decision: “I knew it was going to be brutal business-wise. But it was important for Ford's EV operations to be accountable to investors.”He's pushing for a culture shift at Ford: “My ethos is, take on the hardest problems as fast as you can and do it sometimes in public because you'll solve them quicker that way.”In a move that redefines the meaning of “mass production,” Chinese automaker BYD is building an EV complex in Zhengzhou so massive it will literally be bigger than the entire city of San Francisco.The Zhengzhou site will cover 50 square miles, surpassing San Francisco's 46.9, and include high-rises, sports facilities, and even housing — a “factory with a city attached to it.”The site will serve as a manufacturing and R&D hub, capable of producing hundreds of thousands of vehicles and components annually.BYD recently overtook Tesla in European EV sales and is aggressively targeting the UK and Japan next, with full European lineup availability by 2028.The project highlights China's strategy to scale vertically and geographically, blending manufacturing, housing, and logistJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Actress Sally Kirkland passed away. She best known for roles in “The Sting” and her Oscar-nominated performance in “Anna.” Jimmy Kimmell’s band leader Cleto Escobedo III also died. Timothée Chalamet is already getting Oscar buzz for his table tennis movie “Marty Supreme.” According to Billboard, the No. 1 country song in the U.S. at the moment was created by an artist called Breaking Rust, which is entirely AI. According to reports, Teen Vogue went wrong by going too political and veering away from what teenagers and Gen Z enjoy. The staffers revolted and went to confront Conde Nast HR about Teen Vogue, and it did not go in their favor, with several staffers ultimately fired. For women going through menopause, experts have said there’s a risk that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can cause heart issues or other issues for women who have had cancer.

This week on Sinica, I welcome back Jeremy Goldkorn, co-founder of the show and my longtime co-host, to revisit the "vibe shift" we first discussed back in February. Seven months on, what we sensed then has fully borne out — there's been a measurable softening in American attitudes toward China, reflected not just in polling data but in media coverage, podcast discussions, and public discourse. We dig into what's driving this shift: the chaos of American politics making China look competent by comparison, the end of Wolf Warrior diplomacy, the gutting of China hawks in the Trump administration, Trump's own transactional G2 enthusiasm, and the generational divide in how younger Americans encounter China through TikTok rather than legacy media. We also discuss the limits of this shift, the dangers of overcorrection, and what it feels like to watch the fever break after years of panic and absolutism in U.S.-China discourse.5:29 – The [beep] show in America as the biggest factor 8:38 – China hawks deflated: from Pompeo to Navarro's pivot to India 11:21 – Ben Smith's piece on the end of a decade of China hawkism 13:30 – Eric Schmidt and Selina Xu's Atlantic piece on tech decoupling 17:17 – Long-form China podcasts: Dwarkesh Patel with Arthur Kroeber, Lex Fridman with Keyu Jin 19:35 – Jeremy's personal vibe shift: distance from The China Project and renewed perspective 23:33 – The world turning to predictability and stability 26:05 – The Chicago Council poll: dramatic shift away from containment 29:09 – The generational shift: TikTok, infrastructure porn, and Gen Z's globalized worldview 31:15 – The end of Wolf Warrior diplomacy and why it mattered 37:03 – Kaiser's "Great Reckoning" essay and why it didn't get the usual hate 39:00 – The destruction of Twitter and the vicious China discourse culture 41:10 – The pendulum swinging too far: China fanboys and new hubris 43:20 – How the vibe shift looks from inside China Paying it forward: Echo Tang (Berlin Independent Chinese Film Festival organizer) and Zhu Rikun (New York Chinese Independent Film Festival organizer)Recommendations: Jeremy: Ja No Man: Growing Up in Apartheid Era South Africa by Richard Poplak Kaiser: Rhyming Chaos podcast with Jeremy Goldkorn and Maria RepnikovaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this deeply heartfelt and validating episode, guest host Carol Roesler welcomes Lara Rodwell, founder of The Lonely Club and journalist, for an empowering conversation about autism, sensitivity, loneliness, and self-discovery.Lara shares her personal journey through misdiagnosis, the loneliness that often follows, and how self-identifying as a sensitive autistic neurotype became a turning point toward self-acceptance. Together, Carol and Lara explore the challenges women face when they don't fit the outdated models of autism diagnosis, and how finding accurate understanding can feel like a “homecoming.”TakeawaysThe origins and mission of The Lonely Club—creating safe spaces for young neurodivergent people.Lara's experience with misdiagnosis through the NHS and her later validation through Julie Bjelland's autism assessment.The loneliness many sensitive and autistic women experience when their traits are misunderstood.The concept of the sensitive autistic neurotype as defined by Julie Bjelland.Turning perceived “weaknesses” (like sensitivity or introversion) into strengths and creative power.The generational struggle of being told “you're too sensitive.”How external diagnostic criteria often overlook women and non-male expressions of autism.Advocacy for sensitive autistic university students and young adults navigating social challenges.Reframing “lazy” or “avoidant” behaviors as signs of burnout, masking, or perfectionism—not lack of motivation.The importance of self-compassion and self-advocacy in the neurodivergent journey.Lara Rodwell is the founder of The Lonely Club, an online and in-person community designed to reduce loneliness among young neurodivergent adults.

As a volunteer Children's Librarian leading pre-K through 5th-grade reading groups, she often wished for books with characters that reflected the unique traits of bright, sensitive children. An introverted child, Carol's favorite books were her best friends, inspiring the character Buttercup. Buttercup's passion for research was inspired by Carol's daughter, whose literary explorations discovered the unique, joyful dance of the blue-footed booby. This inspired the wonderfully extroverted character Blueberry. Carol is thrilled to collaborate with Julie in creating characters that celebrate being their authentic, unique selves!

Mike Palmer welcomes Carlo Rotella, a professor at Boston College and author of the book What Can I Get Out of This? Teaching and Learning in a Classroom Full of Skeptics. Rotella, who has an academic specialty in the cultures of cities and also writes for magazines like The New York Times Magazine, approaches his classroom as a "scene" much like a boxing gym or a music club, where people practice a craft and hone their "chops". We dive into the book, which captures the spring semester of 2020 and presents a narrative-style look at Rotella's required freshman literature course. He shares his mission: to change his students' initial question from "Can I get out of this?" to "What can I get out of this?" by treating the interpretation of literature as a learnable craft, not "sorcery or bullshit". Rotella explains how this approach requires us to build a strong classroom community, including policies like banning devices and expecting every student to speak at every class meeting. He reveals the effort required to get quiet students to participate, sometimes using techniques like rehearsing answers in office hours—just as a team practices a play. Rotella argues that in a world of AI and "endless number of talking heads" , the classroom remains a vital "haven" where students can build critical skills and practice analytical response to the world.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1193: Today, we're covering a spike in EV inventory, why dealerships are losing service customers, and how Gen Z's complex spending habits could reshape the retail landscape.Show Notes with links:A new Cox Automotive study warns that dealerships are quietly losing the long game in fixed ops. Despite the average age of a vehicle being 12.8 years, customer loyalty—especially among recent buyers—is slipping fast.Dealerships now see 12% fewer service visits than in 2018, despite rising service volume overall.Loyalty is weakening: just 54% of owners with cars under 2 years old return to the selling dealer, down sharply from 72% in 2023.Independent shops, quick lube chains, and mobile services are capturing business once assumed to be “locked in.”Primary reasons for defections include surprise costs and poor communication—despite dealership pricing being slightly lower than independents on average.“There is a clear call to action here for dealerships to proactively address customer dissatisfaction, strengthen communication and improve sales to service coordination to build back market share through lasting relationships.” said Skyler Chadwick, Director of Product Consulting at Cox Automotive.New-vehicle inventory in the U.S. surged past 3.1 million units in early November, with electric vehicles stacking up the fastest.Total inventory rose from 2.8M to 3.14M units, with days' supply climbing to 70.EV supply more than doubled in October to 107 days, up from 47 just a month earlier.Gas-powered vehicles sit at 72 days; hybrids at a leaner 57 days. Cars remain tight at 46 days while light trucks sit at 60 daysToyota leads the pack with the tightest supply at just 33 days, while several Stellantis brands now exceed 100 days' supply.Subaru was the only automaker among monthly reporters to see inventory shrink.Retailers are racing to understand Gen Z—set to command $12 trillion in spending power by 2030. A new PwC report shows this generation mixes frugality with emotional spending and values-driven decisions.Gen Z plans to cut holiday spending by 23%, averaging $1,357—far less than millennials at $2,190.82% plan to buy “dupes”—affordable versions of luxury goods—and 79% wait for sales.While cautious, they'll splurge on “affordable affluence”: resale sneakers, luxury skincare, and $7 matcha lattes.Loyalty is fleeting: 81% have changed buying decisions based on a brand's reputation.Quote: “For most Gen Z'ers, customer loyalty has to be earned, and even then it is fragile,” said Greg Petro, Forbes contributor.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

You've heard the controversial new idea making headlines — the 50-year mortgage. What started as a proposal from national homebuilders sparks a bigger conversation: Are we solving housing affordability, or just stretching debt for another generation? Brian breaks down how amortization works, why stretching payments can look appealing but cost hundreds of thousands more in interest, and how it impacts the broader economy. He also shares personal stories about real estate mistakes, mortgage decisions, and how inflation and rising rates are reshaping homeownership for Millennials and Gen Z. Listeners call in with their own real-life experiences — from first-time homebuyers juggling tight budgets to the emotional payoff of finally owning a place you can call your own. Along the way, Brian explains the math behind mortgage length, how income growth changes affordability over time, and why some debts may not be as "bad" as you think.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Host: Brian Wiley
