Welcome back to World Cup Daily #46! Today, Grandpapa Mack Chris and John launch an absolute post-mortem debate into the tactical hierarchies of international management. We break down why defensive retreats consistently end in train wrecks, evaluate the psychological demands of hotel bubbles, and look ahead to the ultimate final match-up.
It's the new and improved John Fugelsang Show and Podcast! John can now be heard weekdays from 9am to Noon PT on Sirius XM Channel 127. He kicks off his new daytime show talking about the controversial death of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham who passed away suddenly on Saturday night. It was a day after returning from an official visit to Kyiv, Ukraine. He also mentions the much-discussed return of Senator Mitch McConnell, who finally shares a fakey photo from his hospital recovery, prompting a flurry of conspiracy theories. John reflects on the devastating heatwave in Europe, resulting in tragic excess deaths, and the ongoing absurdity of climate denial. Then, John speaks about the implications of Graham Platner's withdrawal from the Maine Senate race with Boston Globe reporter Sam Brody, who provides insights into Platner's campaign collapse. Next, John welcomes the legendary Martin Sheen, whose career spans decades and includes iconic roles in films like Apocalypse Now and The West Wing. Beyond his acting accolades, Martin shares insights from his transformative journey into spirituality and activism, revealing how his experiences in India reshaped his understanding of humanity and social justice. Together, they explore the significance of art and faith in fostering a more compassionate world, discussing the moral obligations that come with breaking the law in the name of justice. Martin's new podcast is not just another celebrity platform; it's a meditative space where literature, history, and personal reflection intertwine, inviting listeners to embark on their own pilgrimages of self-discovery. Then finally, Professor Corey Brettschneider is back, and they unpack the broader implications of the political landscape. The episode wraps up with a thought-provoking discussion on the ethical obligations of public figures after their passing, and how history remembers controversial politicians.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Glen Plake is the most legendary, the most known skier of our time—maybe of all time—and I've interviewed him more than anyone. But this podcast series couldn't end without a final Plake episode, and this one was timed perfectly, the day after Freeride was named an Olympic sport. You can bet Glen has a strong opinion about that, and we also talk about FIS, SIA, skiing, life, Kimberley, and so much more. It's another fun episode with a living legend and I get some new stories out of Glen. Elan Trip of a Lifetime Show Notes: 3:00: Goon Squad, FIS, cultural tobacco and clean living 20:00: Elan Skis: Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better. Motu Truck Caps 22:00: Speedo's, his neck, trash, collar shirt, money, and Kimberley 40:00: Outdoor Research: The best is developed and tested in the brutal conditions the PNW and beyond 41:00: Plake style, living above and below 6k feet, his dad, would he have changed anything, product and brand involvement, attention, autographs, and what's next 65:00: Inappropriate Questions:

Christian social media can feel like a battlefield, and it's exhausting when the loudest voices are believers tearing down other believers. We're talking honestly about why that spirit is so discouraging, and why stepping back from the noise can be an act of wisdom, not withdrawal. When we forget we're family, we start treating brothers and sisters in Christ like targets instead of teammates.We anchor the reset in Romans 12:16, a short verse with big implications for everyday Christian living: live in harmony, don't be arrogant, and don't assume you're wiser than you are. That's not just a nice idea, it's a practical path for church unity, healthier conversations, and real spiritual growth. Humility changes how we speak, how we listen, and how we disagree.Then we share a story about an orchestra full of every instrument you can imagine, all practicing the same piece for the “Grand Finale,” but criticizing each other's methods and arguing about what the music even means. It's a vivid picture of what happens when we practice in silos and refuse to come together. Hebrews 10:24-25 brings it home: we're called to meet, encourage, and motivate each other toward love and good works, especially when it matters most.If you want a five-minute start that replaces division with encouragement, press play.

Here are just a few of the many things that Johnny discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The original plan for recording “Revelation” for Da Capo; Why Johnny was wary and uncomfortable around Bryan MacLean back in the day; The alternate career path not taken in Johnny's life; Stories about playing with Jerry Garcia and Moby Grape; The only band that Johnny conceded to blowing Love off the stage; The well-known vocalist Arthur was attempting to emulate on “Your Mind And We Belong Together”; And saying goodbye to Arthur—Johnny's best friend and musical brother in arms—right before he passed away.

By examining the world through their eyes, I intend to offer a unique and deeply human insight into an age of unprecedented change and imperial grandeur.Support the show
Charles C. W. Cooke, John Yoo, and Richard Epstein break down three major Supreme Court decisions from the end of the term: Trump v.

In this satsang, Shunyamurti explores the highest teaching of Advaita Vedanta: love is not a feeling—it is what we are. Drawing from the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi and Adi Shankaracharya, he reveals that the ego mistakes desire, attachment, and possession for love, while true love is the very nature of the Self. As the world enters its final phase of Kali Yuga, Shunyamurti explains that the collapse unfolding around us is ultimately the consequence of a civilization that has forgotten the taste of divine love. Through purification, ego death, and recognizing that Brahman alone is Real, consciousness is freed from its false narratives and restored to its natural state of bliss, wisdom, and unity.

The crown has been claimed, the final lip sync has played out, and Season 18 comes to a close. Joe and Nathan break down the Grand Finale—from the final three performances to the crowning of America's Next Drag Superstar—while asking the bigger question: did this season live up to the talent of its cast? Episode Highlights Joe and Nathan kick things off with a quick look at the finale format and why it continues to feel… off. They dig into the loss of the live finale energy, how pre-taped finales impact storytelling, and why the show may be missing opportunities to respond to audience reactions in real time. The conversation turns to the final three—Darlene Mitchell, Nini Coco, and Mikey Meeks—as each queen delivers her original performance. They discuss what worked, what didn't, and how each queen's narrative (or lack thereof) shaped the outcome of the season. They also cover: Jane Don't winning Miss Congeniality The ongoing issue of branding-heavy segments (and whether they're dragging the show down) Miley Cyrus receiving the “Giving Us Lifetime Achievement Award” The overall pacing and structure of the finale episode When it comes to the final lip sync, Joe and Nathan debate who actually won the performance versus who ultimately took the crown—and whether those were the same thing. The Big Takeaway The talent was there—but the production didn't match it. Joe argues that Season 18 featured a strong cast that was ultimately underserved by weak challenges, inconsistent storytelling, and a finale format that feels increasingly disconnected from the audience. Final Thoughts Season 18 ends not with a bang, but with a shrug. While there were standout queens and memorable moments along the way, the finale—and the season as a whole—left Joe and Nathan wanting more. The question now: can the show course-correct, or is this the new normal? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Well Toxic Fans, we've come to the end of season 18! Who wins? Who is Miss Congeniality? And why is Miley Cyrus giving us life? All this and more!!
It's finally time to decide if Darlene's special kind of stupid, Nini's mechanically engineered drag or Myki's versatility earns the cash and the crown. The whole episode is kind of uncanny valley of the dolls but Miley stops by, we get to meet the people who produced all of those Meeks kids, Ru dances for no one, Jane gets a $10k tip from her sisters for mopping the floor with them most of the season, Onya gets offa the throne and this season's responsible babysitting theater kid from Orlando kicks off her motherfucking reign.

Original airdate 04/24/25: Mary welcomes Jeff Kinley, a former pastor and best-selling author of 40 books. He is a recognized expert and thought leader in the field of Bible Prophecy, having authored 12 books on the subject. Jeff connects with this generation, engaging them with biblical truth in a fresh, practical way. His weekly podcasts – The Vintage Truth Podcast and The Prophecy Pros Podcast (with Todd Hampson) are heard in over 120 countries. This Podcast now has over 1,000,000 downloads and ranks in the Top 1% of all podcasts in America. Jeff and Todd take the Prophecy Pros conferences on the road to many communities, and through Prophecy Pros Academy, offer the student a tremendous theological foundation in a 3 year period of time. Today we look at the God Who rewards those who diligently seek Him by discussing Jesus Himself – and how no one in history can make any single claim that He can. Once we determine Who He is, then we can decide if Bible prophecy is even worth our time, and what it means for every single person who ever lived on earth. Jeff’s books include such titles as, “The End of the World According to Jesus”, “As it Was in the Days of Noah”, and “God’s Grand Finale”. These titles and more can be found here.

By Kevin Call - We're in the Last Day of Unleavened Bread. The 7th Day is so much more-it's the Grande Finale. We must keep working harder and harder. This is where God reaches down and says, " Be Still and See the Salvation of The Lord". God always provide a perfect way. We must stay faithful.
Most movie debates are trivial—until you realize how fiercely we cling to our favorites. What if your all-time top flicks aren't just about entertainment but reveal your deeper tastes, biases, and identity? In this episode of Three on Three, Diandre Robinson and his friends dive into hilarious, wild, and surprisingly revealing rankings of 100 iconic movies. From childhood classics like The Lion King to gritty favorites like Goodfellas, they challenge each other with bold choices, heartfelt critiques, and shocking upsets—all while blending comedy, nostalgia, and genuine insight. You'll discover how categorizing movies by Rotten Tomatoes scores can spark unexpected rivalries: why Schindler's List sparks tears, why American Pie is more iconic than Goodfellas in the cultural lexicon, and which movies undoubtedly make fans want to defend their pick to the death. Get a behind-the-scenes look at their unpredictable tournament-style brackets—an emotional rollercoaster that exposes personal stories, cultural identity, and cinematic passions. This isn't just about movies; it's about how films shape our perceptions and bonds. We break down: hilarious ranking battles, the real reasons some movies triumph over favorite classics, and the personal stories linked to each choice. Why does The Lion King top the list? How does Forrest Gump sneak into the top three despite fierce competition? And what does your movie roster say about your values? These debates are about more than entertainment; they're cultural conversations about race, nostalgia, and what it means to truly love a movie. Why should you listen? Because in understanding these choices, you understand yourself—and the world around you. Whether you're a cinephile, a casual viewer, or just someone who loves good laugh-out-loud debates, this episode offers pure entertainment and unfiltered honesty. Plus, you'll get some fun, unexpected insights on Hollywood classics, hidden gems, and the movies that define generations.

By early 1976, things were looking bleak for Rush. Despite their relentless touring schedule and 3 albums - Rush, Fly By Night, Caress of Steel - the record company wasn't happy. The band called the Caress of Steel Tour the Down The Tubes Tour as their crowds got smaller and their record didn't sell. Mercury records wanted radio friendly hits or something more like the Zeppelin-y first record or they would drop the band. Instead of changing their sound and bowing to the powers that be, they decided to do their own thing. That thing was a full side of an album with 7 distinct parts of a suite called 2112. Instead of sappy love songs, they created a planet that had come under the rule of The Solar Federation whose priests rule thanks to a supercomputer that has all the answers and has taken away individuality and creativity. It doesn't sound like a chart topper does it? However, the hard rock, prog rock and AOR fanbase absolutely loved it, eventually sending it to triple platinum. From the epic Overture and fan favorite The Temples of Syrinx to the coda Grand Finale, the boys take you on a tale of the individual vs. the system (borrowed from Ayn Rand). Alex Lifeson's guitar work shows why he's so beloved and why fans in the 80s wondered what happened to him? Neil Peart's drumming is extraordinary but so are his lyrics which create a world through intelligence, faith and forthrightness. But that's not the whole album. A Passage to Bangkok talks about all the places you can visit to score some good pot. The Twilight Zone is an ode to their favorite sci-fi show while Something for Nothing teaches that you can't wait around for someone to give you a break - you have to make your own. Alex and Geddy Lee each take a stab at writing the music and lyrics on their own on Lessons and Tears, respectively, but the real magic comes when all 3 meld their own powers into something that is much greater than the sum of the parts. It's the album that not only put Rush on the map but saved their careers and set them up for success for decades.
