Forest are not letting MGW leave the club easily and this one could get very messy! Join the FFTV Discord server for free - https://discord.gg/xG436HXuch Wolfie is back on Forest Fan TV with a transfer update as breaking news today, throws the Morgan Gibbs-White (MGW) move to Tottenham Hotspur into chaos. Nottingham Forest are adamant MGW is staying, despite Spurs activating his £60M release clause and the player clearly keen to join. With talks halted and Forest launching a legal case against Spurs for an alleged illegal approach, Wolfie dives into the messy details—can the Reds use this legal battle to win the fight, or is MGW's departure inevitable? Tune in for the latest twists! The situation has turned ugly as Forest accuse Spurs of breaching confidentiality over MGW's release clause and making an unauthorized approach, prompting a formal Premier League complaint. Wolfie breaks down how Forest's ceased communication and legal threats have stalled the deal, even after MGW reportedly passed a medical. With Spurs hopeful and MGW eager for Champions League football, the legal case could delay or derail the transfer—but can Forest legally block it with the clause activated? Wolfie dissects the arguments, questioning who's really at fault in this escalating feud. This transfer saga is getting messier by the day, and Wolfie doesn't hold back with his opinion. With Anthony Elanga's £55M exit to Newcastle already stinging, losing MGW would be a huge blow to Forest's Europa League hopes—yet the player's desire to leave complicates things. Wolfie weighs in on whether Forest's hardline stance is a smart move or a desperate gamble, and what it means for Nuno Espírito Santo's squad. Share your thoughts in the comments—can Forest keep MGW, or is this battle already lost?

Jerry and Willie Colon are in for B&G. As we sit here on June 17, the Knicks don't seem any closer to signing a head coach. Willie was not happy with the Knicks firing Thibs. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day and starts with the Yankees getting shutout again, 1-0. Adam Schein had a little hyperbole for the Rafael Devers trade. The Moment of The Day: Willie Colon had a bathroom emergency at 4am in NYC. In the final segment of the show, we cleaned up the calls on the Knicks and Yankees.

"I remembered that something like this happened once to the poet Edward Thomas. He was in the hills of Gloucestershire in 1914. June 24: the express train drew up there unwontedly, as the poet later wrote; the platform of the village station was empty, the heat was intense, and it was so quiet that the sound of a man clearing his throat on board the train was remarkable." I have been coming and going from this train carriage, which, even though it never moves, seems to serve as a base for travel. Like a station, I reckon. Join me on another set of journeys to and fro my home in the bush.

Langeweile kennen Leon und Atze aus dem Alltag kaum noch. Und wenn sie doch mal anklopft, liegt das Smartphone griffbereit in der Hosentasche. Ist ja nicht schlimm, dass wir uns nur noch selten langweilen, oder? Ist schließlich ein furchtbares Gefühl. Und doch ist Stille, nichts tun, genau das, wonach sich Pico Iyer, ein englischer Reiseschriftsteller, sehnt. So sehr, dass er einen ungewöhnlichen Schritt wagt, der sein Leben für immer verändert. Auch, wenn wir nicht wie Iyer seit unserer Kindheit um die Welt jetten, können wir von ihm doch so einiges über Ruhe und Reizarmut lernen. Denn Langeweile will uns etwas sagen.

Ever feel like you're doing all the "right things" for self-growth but still hitting a wall? In this raw, unscripted conversation, we explore what actually shifts us—like why karaoke might be a more powerful tool for self-discovery than psychedelics. We dive into the quiet trap of identifying with comfort, how cold hands become a metaphor for resistance to life, and the overlooked power of letting go of the need to "mean something." This isn't about fixing yourself—this is about seeing that you're not what you think you are, and that might be the most freeing realization of all. Join us in challenging spiritual shortcuts, embracing uncertainty, and celebrating courage through community, chaos, and connection.

Pico Iyer, essayist and author of numerous books including  “The Half Known Life:In Search of Paradise ” and most recently  “Aflame: Learning from Silence,” reflects on the death of Pope Francis and highlights the extraordinary impact Pope Francis’s life had, despite Iyer’s non-Christian faith. Pope Francis’s humility, simplicity, and actions, Iyer says, which exemplified his teachings had and continue to have a great impacted over Iyer’s spiritual life.  Paul Elie, religion scholar with the Berkley Center at Georgetown University, and author of “The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex and Controversy in the 1980s”  shares his first hand impressions of meeting Pope Francis and particularly how humble and unpretentious the Pope was.  Elie says some of Pope Francis’s early experiences growing up in Argentina shaped his more progressive world views and reflects on the legacy that Pope Francis leaves behind on the world and on the Catholic Church.         Guests: Pico Iyer  Travel writer and author of Aflame: Learning from Silence, The Art of Stillness : Adventures in Going Nowhere, and, Autumn Light: Season of Fire and Farewells, “The Half Known Life:In Search of Paradise ”   Paul Elie  Senior Fellow with the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University, and author of “The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex and Controversy in the 1980s” May 27, 2025

Going Nowhere - De-Va'Je

"The whole purpose of my journey across the world had been in pursuit of this sensation...the same thrill that I'd felt in my patch of bush as a kid. It was a life-long search, a search that would never end." Recording in the train carriage from which I think about the nature of movement, here are a series of stories about the motives and meaning of adventures.

Fear isn't the enemy—it's just misunderstood. In this raw and insightful conversation, we explore the hidden ways fear shapes our decisions, our relationships, and even our identities. From the trap of denying fear to the subtle psychosis of mistaking thoughts for reality, we dive into how stories we tell ourselves become prisons we don't even see. We unpack the emotional weight of self-judgment, the illusion of control, and why karaoke might just be the ultimate metaphor for life. If you've ever felt stuck between who you think you are and who you might become—this one's for you. Let go, tune in, and discover the power of presence beyond the story. [00:00:00] Fear as a constant presence and the importance of recognizing it rather than denying it. [00:02:46] How fear of success and attachment to personal narratives stop us from trying new things. [00:04:19] Denying fear creates sub-stories that mask the real reasons we hesitate. [00:06:14] Vilifying our past choices blocks us from understanding the value of those experiences. [00:07:31] The carrot-and-stick mentality as a valid step in moving through fear. [00:09:36] Physical pain from past overexertion and the insight gained through consequence. [00:11:39] The distinction between pain and suffering, and how storytelling creates suffering. [00:13:00] Fear as distortion on the glass of perception—clarity comes from observing it directly. [00:14:10] Karaoke as a metaphor for being present and letting go of fear and self-judgment. [00:15:58] Everyday psychosis: mistaking thoughts for reality and how it separates us from life. [00:18:11] How being present and dropping your story helps others let go of theirs. [00:20:50] Saying the “wrong thing” often leads to unexpected, meaningful human connection. [00:22:56] Letting go doesn't mean recklessness—it means trusting yourself without micromanaging. [00:25:30] Spiritual paths as detours to eventual self-honesty—insight isn't mystical, it's honest. [00:28:35] A karaoke business encounter reveals how others' fear-based stories shape reactions.

The real estate market is showing conflicting signals, with some properties receiving multiple offers while others sit vacant for months. Ryan, Nick, and Chase explore this volatility and share their firsthand experiences navigating today's challenging investment landscape.With rates hovering in the 6-7% range, the traditional approach of rapid property accumulation deserves reconsideration. Some investors now focus on aggressively paying down existing debt rather than acquiring new properties, potentially using paid-off assets to secure lines of credit for future investments.

Do you ever feel like a hamster running on a wheel? Hamsters may love to scurry, but it tends to make us humans anxious and exhausted. Unfortunately, we live in a world that constantly pressures us to keep up with an increasingly frantic pace. And while we run faster and faster, the only place we ever reach is burnout. It’s when we start to get to burnout and the wheel is still going so fast that we start to get frantic to keep up. In this episode of The Gathering Room, I’m talking about how you can get off the hamster wheel by taking tiny, true steps towards whatever brings you a sense of relief. By “tiny, true step” I mean any small movement or action that feels like relief to you, like a relaxing exhale. In fact, a relaxing exhale could be the one tiny action you take. Or standing up to stretch. Or taking a bathroom break. Or doing just five minutes of any creative practice.Whenever you’re feeling frantic or overwhelmed, taking one tiny, true step is enough to move you toward peace. And then if you do it tomorrow and the next day and whenever you feel exhausted and frantic, those tiny movements toward relief will start to change everything. Remember: You are meant to live in peace, and nature never requires you to do more than you can do in peace. Although embracing this mindset can be challenging in a society like ours that values constant busyness, you have to trust that small steps are enough to radically transform your life. Try it and see.To learn more about the profound transformation that can come from taking small steps toward your true destiny, tune in for the full episode. We’ll even take a small step together by doing my guided Space, Silence, and Stillness meditation. Join me!

What if everything you thought you knew about "being in the flow" was just another illusion? In this conversation, we dive into the deeper reality behind belief, hope, and the way we cling to false certainty for comfort. From breaking down the myth of a "perfect" Jesus to challenging the very idea of a creator, we push past surface-level spirituality into the raw, often uncomfortable process of actually waking up. Can you ever truly be "out of the flow"? And what happens when you stop resisting what's already happening? This one will challenge your assumptions—if you let it. [00:00:00] Introduction to the new series with Levi and Ray, embracing uncertainty in conversation. [00:01:04] Rethinking Jesus—was he just a human who got lost in his own story? [00:04:32] The illusion of government integrity and how we project unrealistic ideals onto leaders. [00:06:18] The fine line between belief and delusion—when belief becomes unquestionable. [00:08:06] How hope can become a trap that stops action and keeps us stuck. [00:09:43] The misunderstood concept of "flow"—it's not about ease but surrendering resistance. [00:11:53] Challenging the first cause argument—does existence even need a beginning? [00:14:17] Why the "simulation theory" still assumes an external creator instead of recognizing self-awareness. [00:17:45] The fear of responsibility—realizing you are the creative potential of the universe. [00:20:41] How attachment to opinions and expectations creates suffering. [00:24:40] The power of small interactions—why a simple conversation can shift everything. [00:26:51] Overcoming fear in social interactions—why are we afraid to break the script? [00:28:40] How dropping expectations makes social interactions effortless. [00:31:41] The connection between stretching and emotional release—sitting with discomfort. [00:33:52] Wrapping up

"Poets and storytellers like to look at things from side-on. We like to combine images, make weird comparisons. Might I suggest that sometimes, at least some of us we must come at life from a tangent?" Sometimes I like to look at things from a different angle - so I take this train carriage on a series of detours through stories that may never truly be. Join for all sorts of twists and turns on the road to nowhere.

00:00-20:00: Vegas Raiders going nowhere. Pete Carroll? Chip Kelly? Good luck. Plus, continued poor ownership. ML says the Raiders are going nowhere.

Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo talk about the BDC Capital $1B fund, the state of early-stage VC funding in Canada, and the rise of mega-deals dominated by U.S. investors. They also discuss the feasibility of the Quebec City-Toronto high-speed rail project, AI copyright lawsuits, potential Trump-era tariffs, and the future of open banking in Canada.Key TopicsBDC Capital's $1B Growth-Stage Investment Fund (00:42)* BDC Capital announces a $1B investment fund, with:* $500M Growth Venture Fund for direct investments and co-investments.* $450M Growth Equity Partners Program for minority stake investments in mid-market companies.* Concerns were raised by Mark McQueen about lack of early-stage funding* John Ruffolo's take:* Canada's early-stage VC ecosystem is underfunded.* BDC was meant to focus on riskier, early-stage investments, while EDC (Export Development Canada) focused on growth-stage.* Shift towards later-stage funding may leave early-stage startups without necessary capital.Canadian Venture Capital Funding Trends (04:55)* CVCA's 2024 report:* $7.86B invested across 592 deals, up 10% from 2023.* Mega deals ($50M+ rounds) comprised 62% of total VC investments.* Seed-stage funding fell 50% to $510M.* Notable mega-deals:* Clio – $1.24B Series F* Cohere – $616M Series D* Blockstream – $289M convertible note* Waabi – $275M Series B* U.S. investors dominate:* 32% of Canadian VC deals had U.S. investor participation.* Clio's round was entirely U.S.-funded.* John Ruffolo's analysis:* Canada needs stronger domestic venture capital.* U.S. capital will always flow into late-stage companies, but early-stage funding is crucial for long-term ecosystem growth.* Lack of Canadian IPOs in 2024 is a concerning sign.Quebec City-Toronto High-Speed Rail: $90B Boondoggle? (09:17)* Massive infrastructure proposal:* $60B–$90B price tag, with $3.9B allocated to planning alone.* Construction won't begin for at least five years, taking 5–7 years per segment.* Criticisms:* Timing is political (announced right before an election).* Where is the funding coming from? Canada's finances are already stretched.* Route selection is questionable – e.g., Laval getting a stop over Mississauga/Brampton.* John Ruffolo's take:* Financial viability is unclear – pension funds won't invest without guarantees of ridership.* Other priorities (e.g., Arctic infrastructure, national security) are being ignored.* The government should invest in digital infrastructure instead (e.g., full 5G coverage).AI Copyright Lawsuits: Cohere vs. Media Giants (14:35)* Major media coalition (The Atlantic, Forbes, The Guardian, Vox, etc.) sues AI startup Cohere for copyright infringement in New York.* Allegations: Cohere scraped and displayed copyrighted content without permission.* Seeking $150K per work infringed + an injunction against Cohere using their content.* Growing legal pressure on AI companies:* NY Times vs. OpenAI – potentially setting a massive precedent.* Anthropic, Meta, and Thomson Reuters have faced similar lawsuits.* John Ruffolo's view:* Copyright concerns were always an issue for AI models.* AI startups may have to pay into a licensing pool (like the music industry).* Investor risk increasing – legal uncertainties may impact funding for public LLMs.Trump's Potential Tariffs: What Canada Should Do (19:25)* Trump's trade policies likely to return if re-elected, impacting Canadian businesses.* John Ruffolo's recommendations:* Canada must fix internal issues first (e.g., interprovincial trade barriers).* Tariffs won't disappear for at least four years, so businesses must adapt.* Canadian businesses will have to shift profits & operations to the U.S. to remain competitive.The Future of Open Banking in Canada (22:00)* U.S. fintech sector gains a boost as Trump administration removes CFPB regulations.* Chime & Klarna expected to benefit from deregulation.* Canadian Conservatives promise major push for open banking if elected.* Liberals have been slow to act on open banking despite six years of promises.John Ruffolo's perspective:* Open banking will make Canadian banks stronger, not weaker.* Canada must prepare for U.S. competition in financial services.Follow Matt Cohen and Tank Talks here!Podcast production support provided by Agentbee.ai This is a public episode.

They dive into her clothing brand Nowhere Fast and how it came about (and their controversial moment at the The Gathering of Jugglos!). Then, things take a hilarious turn as they break down why Flavor of Love is the greatest reality TV show of all time (move over, The Bachelor). Plus, they talk about the absolute chaos of watching movies you really don't expect to see on an airplane. And if that wasn't wild enough, Angela shares the story of a guy who skipped out on a restaurant bill—only to have the audacity to ask her out on a dating app later. Spoiler: it did not go well for him.Follow Angela on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angela_mazzanti________________________________________________________________________ Zach Holmes, AKA Zackass from Jackass Forever, is on a mission to become the most Maximum Zach he can be.

Sure, a tarot card reading sound fun. That is until the cards start saying horrible things about you! Is that really what you need on a first date?

"But it is true that if you wait for perfection, you may walk away emptyhanded. The best-laid plans can fall in a heap, and I can't promise that the stores I've cached in the ground won't be squandered. The fruit may rot, the flowers may wilt." The sun has spun. A new yarn begins. With it comes a new set of days. We may plot our route way across them or just plunge in. Wander with me as I ponder the making of plans from the vantage point of my train carriage in the woods.

"The sunflowers turned towards the light and filled with a ferocious yellow. The sorrow still overwhelmed you. The end was near. But you made good work before then. What a story you could tell." I have had cause to contemplate sorrow over the past year - from the small internal sorrows of solitude to the large-scale suffering of the world. Here's a set of stories wound around the idea of sorrow.

In this episode of Alabama Politics This Week, Josh Moon and David Person reflect on their Thanksgiving experiences before diving into the current political landscape. They discuss the ongoing turmoil surrounding figures like Trump and the media's role in it, touching on issues of addiction and mental health. Then, former Alabama U.S. Sen. Doug Jones, who led what became a Democratic National Committee effort to change ADP's bylaws and usher in new leadership in 2019, zooms in to explain why he thinks the party is in a hopeless situation because many Democrats and would-be Democrats don't care for current leadership. Finally, Josh and David discuss various themes surrounding Alabama politics, focusing on the recent rollbacks of DEI programs in corporations, the perception of privilege among white individuals, and the historical context of racism in education.

"Seeing can be a perfect pastime, a form of meditation. At the heart of my identity, seeing is the central mechanism for wonder." Vision is a magical, mysterious phenomenon. Around the train carriage, I watch - and write what I see.

There is a national push to attack landlords under what many call the “free rent movement”. This woke ideology is that landlords are inherently evil and that housing rent should be controlled by the government or – better yet – forced to be provided at no charge. In this Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we're going to explain, in detail, why this movement is going nowhere, despite what some politicians may promise.
