The situation with Iran continues to feel like Groundhog Day, except this time, believe it or not, there may actually be movement.Earlier this week, I mentioned that I had heard from people in the know that the United States military was coiled to strike Iran and was looking for either provocation or justification to resume major military activity. That appeared to happen when Iran shot down an Apache helicopter that was escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. We also learned that more than 100 million barrels of oil had moved through the strait under U.S. protection over the last month.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.One of the reasons that caught my attention is that gas prices in the United States have been falling pretty dramatically. It was a head-scratcher. If the Strait of Hormuz was effectively stalled, then what explained the drop? Was it a global rerouting of supply? Was there a China component that had been negotiated and never publicly heralded? I didn't know then, and I don't know now, but the announcement about oil shipments at least provides part of the picture.What's more interesting is what happened next. After one night of military strikes, the second night was canceled. Donald Trump said that's because we're at the point of a deal, one that has supposedly been signed off on by all available parties in the region. It appears to resemble the memorandum of understanding that's been floating around for weeks, although nobody really knows because we still haven't seen the text. We don't know if it's real. We don't even know exactly what it says.The administration's definition of success has been fairly consistent: Iran gives up its nuclear material and removes the nuclear threat. If that's actually in the agreement, then it would be meaningfully different from what came before. The obvious question is what Iran gets in return. The reporting and public comments suggest that Tehran is focused on access to frozen assets and getting money quickly. Whether that money goes directly to Iran, whether it's routed through humanitarian aid, and what conditions are attached are all questions that still need answers.The strongest sign that something may actually be happening is coming from inside Iran. Reports indicate that FARS, the IRGC-controlled news agency, is acknowledging that a draft memorandum of understanding exists, that the United States has approved it, and that Iran is likely to do the same. The bigger question is whether any agreement can actually be enforced. Iran's leadership appears splintered. We've seen officials make commitments before, only to have military figures or IRGC commanders move in a different direction. That's why the real issue isn't whether a deal can be signed. It's whether anybody in Iran has enough authority to keep it.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:48 - Iran00:08:38 - Interview with Karol Markowicz00:36:19 - Update00:37:19 - DeSantis and AI00:42:56 - FISA00:44:42 - Director of National Intelligence00:47:17 - Interview with Karol Markowicz, con't01:07:27 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Steve Rhode, the old Get Out of Debt Guy, and Damon Day, the new Get Out of Debt Guy, dig into one of the biggest money mysteries out there: why do so many people with decent incomes still feel completely broke?This episode starts with the honest truth that debt problems can feel like financial Groundhog Day. The details change, but the panic, pressure, and confusion are often the same. Steve and Damon talk about why people in debt crisis can get pushed into quick decisions, how debt relief companies and financial “solutions” may have their own agenda, and why it is so hard to know who to trust when you are scared and trying to survive.They also get into the reality of rising costs, housing, food, transportation, kids' activities, lifestyle expectations, budgeting, emergency savings, credit cards, debt settlement, bankruptcy, and the simple but painful rule of holes: when you are in one, stop digging.The big takeaway is this: getting out of debt is not just about cutting expenses. It is about creating breathing room, understanding your real numbers, making better decisions, and finding a way to get on the asset train before it leaves the station.You can find more debt help, articles, and resources at GetOutOfDebt.orgDamon Day offers free consultations and can be reached at DamonDay.com

No, the final determination didn't lead to a final determination – which is frustrating; however, this isn't another Ground Hog Day scenario within this 3+ month conflict. There appears to be reason to believe that substantive, historic, progress is being made.

The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped another frustrating game, and it followed a script that has become way too familiar: Paul Skenes gave them a chance, the offense did just enough to keep the game alive, and the bullpen let it get away. On this NS9 Postgame Show, Neil and DiNardo break down another rough night for the Pirates relief corps, the continued struggles from the right-handed bullpen options, Brandon Bidois' outing, Johan Ramirez entering another close game, and why Don Kelly may not have many trustworthy choices right now. They also discuss Paul Skenes' strong start, the defensive mistakes behind him, the Pirates' issues when trailing late, Carmen Mlodzinski moving to the bullpen with Jared Jones returning, and the roster questions around Tyler Callihan, Esmerlyn Valdez, Konnor Griffin, Ryan O'Hearn, and Nick Gonzales. The Pirates are still hanging around, but this bullpen problem is no longer a small concern. It is becoming the main thing standing between this team and winning games it should be winning.

Step into a raw, delicious and love-affirming conversation with Jenn Pinkerton, psychotherapist, certified sex therapist, relationship expert, and host of the Red Head Reveal Podcast, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Jenn's work centers around one powerful truth: we are wired for connection, yet so many people are living in profound disconnection from themselves, their relationships, and their deepest desires. I agree! Jenn shares her personal journey through grief, abandonment, and identity after losing her father at a young age. She vulnerably opens up about becoming a "chameleon" in her early life, shaping herself to fit the needs of others while losing connection to her authentic self. That wound eventually became the doorway into her life's work: helping people return to who they truly are beneath the coping strategies, fear, shame, and survival patterns. We explore the four core wounds that shape so many relationships, including abandonment, not feeling good enough, not belonging, and not feeling worthy. Jenn beautifully explains how these wounds influence intimacy, communication, defensiveness, sexuality, perfectionism, avoidance, and even the kinds of relationships we choose. Rather than blaming the past, she invites us into deeper self-awareness, compassion, and responsibility for how these wounds show up in our present-day lives. Jenn also shares her groundbreaking work helping couples heal after infidelity, revealing that affairs are often less about another person and more about the longing to feel alive, connected, desired, and emotionally seen. We discuss how betrayal can either become the ending of a relationship or the catalyst to build an entirely new one rooted in honesty, vulnerability, emotional safety, and genuine connection. We also talk about: -Why connection is our birthright -Emotional safety as the foundation of intimacy and desire -Healing abandonment wounds and relationship insecurity -The difference between physical arousal and true desire -Why vulnerability is essential for intimacy -Infidelity, betrayal, and rebuilding trust -Overcoming defensiveness and learning repair -Desire mismatch, shame, and purity culture -The importance of curiosity, creativity, and novelty in relationships -"Groundhog Day" marriages and how couples lose connection -Empty nesting and rediscovering joy together -How slowing down creates deeper emotional intimacy -Why consideration may be the highest form of love -The power of emotional presence, co-regulation, and nervous system safety This episode is a reminder that relationships are not meant to simply survive. They are meant to change, evolve, deepen, awaken, and expand us. Jenn's wisdom invites us to slow down, soften the armor, and courageously reconnect to ourselves and the people we love most. It is a conversation about the perfectly imperfect journey of intimacy, healing, vulnerability, and the profound beauty that becomes possible when two people are willing to truly see each other authentically again.

Last week was yet another week filled with optimism and record highs for the major stock indexes – while cryptos continued their massive muti-year underperformance and gold and silver took a breather once again. The optimism around stocks continued a consistent theme... 1) Belief that the AI driven economy continues to be so powerful investors can look past perceived short-term inflation and related economic concerns and... 2) Hope for a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz – which is the Ground Hog Day like-scenario we found ourselves in on Friday.
The year was... Czechoslovakia was dissolved, creating the Czech and Slovak Republics. Martin Luther King Jr. Day became a federal holiday. What was known as the Great Blizzard took place March 12th and 13th of this year. The first World Trade Center bombing took place. The #1 song was I Will Always Love You, by Whitney Houston and if you still haven't gotten it by now...Bill Clinton was sworn in as the 42nd President of the United States.

It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 May 2026, and on general sale after this date. Field of Miracles by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough arrive in the quaint village of Heatherington in 1951. But something strange is happening. In an England of post-war austerity, Heatherington is thriving - the shops are full of produce and everyone seems to have everything they've ever wanted, even if what they've wanted is the dead to return to them. The Doctor and his friends must stop the creeping invasion of the Asteri, wish-granting crystalline organisms of awesome destructive power, before they extract a terrible price from the villagers. Helter Skelter by James Moran When a bio-engineered planet and amusement park undergoes a critical malfunction, the entire planet tears itself apart - and the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough are thrown back to their arrival, trapped in a repeating time loop. But for some reason, only Tegan can see the loop, not the Doctor - it has been hidden from him somehow. So why can Tegan see it, and how is she going to fix it? Land of Fools by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle The TARDIS arrives in London, 1980, but something has gone wrong with the timeline. The city is a quasi-police state, overseen by a mysterious new company, Luqos, which promises miraculous gifts to its followers. As Tegan takes off to reconnect with an old friend, and the Doctor teams up with young activist Zan, Turlough is pulled into the heart of Luqos by the shadowy 'M', where they discover an old enemy at work beneath the city. Please note: the collector's edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies Recorded on: 15-17 October 2025 Recorded at: The Soundhouse and The Video Factory, New Zealand Producer Sonny McGann said: "Turlough, Tegan and the Doctor are back! We're returning to Earth, where a new threat has emerged wielding immense psionic power. In an England suffering from post-war austerity, one village appears to have everything they've ever wanted. Some will pay any price to see a wish fulfilled - a choice which may ripple through time. "Meanwhile, when a visit to an amusement park on a bio-engineered planet traps the Doctor and his friends in a time loop, one of our companions will have to step up to prevent the planet from tearing itself apart. Three new stories full of wit, emotion, and good technobabble, according to Peter Davison!" Producer Stewart Pringle, co-writer of the first and third episodes, said: "Tegan and Turlough are just great, aren't they? It's so lovely that this set is coming out around the time of Season 21 landing on Blu-ray because it's such a glorious period of Doctor Who. Field of Miracles is our tribute to The Android Invasion with shades of The Wicker Man." The second episode's writer James Moran added: "I will always refer to this story as Tegan Jovanka's Groundhog Day, which tells you all you need to know up front. It made me endlessly amused that I'd come up with a plot almost custom designed to make Tegan as angry as possible. And that was pretty much deliberate, to see how Janet would run with it!" The box set's other writer Lauren Mooney said: "Land of Fools is the Fifth Doctor in the 1980s with shades of Resurrection of the Daleks, but also a vibe of the Sylvester McCoy years. It's a proper little dystopia in a Back to the Future Part II mould, and it leads somewhere that we hope is unexpected. It's a thrill to write for this TARDIS team – the bickering, friction and lack of bonhomie gives this era such a delicious flavour of its own."

Jess Fenton introduces one of the most quietly disruptive forces in your relationship with money: the interpreter — the internal narrator that insists on translating every financial event into a story.Money itself is neutral. It moves in silence, without requiring a reason, a sequence, or your permission. But the moment it passes through your inner world, the mind rushes to assign meaning — and in doing so, begins to limit the ways it can arrive.Jess explores how this inner translator creates energetic barriers (what she used to call "bubbles"), keeps us locked in Groundhog Day patterns through micro-actions we barely notice, and masquerades as discernment — convincing us it's wisdom when it's actually just fear of the unexplained.She also shares one of her most loved personal stories: sitting in Starbucks deep in a meditation period, asking for a co-founder for a startup she was building — and having one appear in front of her the next day. The kind of thing that only happens when the interpreter is quiet and pure awareness is running the show.This episode isn't about bypassing action. It's about recognising that the interpreter's version of action — sequential, small, pre-approved — is exactly what keeps you cycling through the same reality.Key themes covered:Why money has no mechanism that checks whether it's been sufficiently earnedHow the mind's need to explain an unexpected payment creates contraction at the moment of receivingThe difference between the interpreter and awareness — and why you are the latterEnergy senses: why they're fully open at birth and how the narrowing happensThe "pinnacle vision" trap — and how the interpreter creates unnecessary steps between you and what you actually wantWealth bubbles and energetic ecosystems — why people rarely cross between themThe Groundhog Day pattern: same day, slight tweaks, interpreter firmly in chargeUsing money (and relationships) as diagnostic tools for your level of consciousnessMentioned in this episode:The Black Hole / Quantum Money series on the Spiritualised SubstackPrevious Quantum Money episodes on the bank balance as a distorting reference pointGroundhog Day (Bill Murray) — recommended watchWhere to go deeper: The written and visual companion to this series lives on the Spiritualised Substack — including the full Quantum Money storytelling and diagrams.----------------------------------------Connect with Jess: www.instagram.com/goinwardwww.goinward.co.uk

Have you ever seen one of my favorite movies, Groundhog Day? I feel like that right now as we are trying to report on the global energy crisis, and daily it is the Strait is open, ....closed,,, open,,, closed, .... Dolphins ,,, wow. 1. Iran-U.S. Military Escalation in the Strait of HormuzThe podcast opens with coverage of Iran seizing an oil tanker and attacking U.S. forces in the Strait of Hormuz. Three U.S. Navy destroyers (Truxin, Rafael, and Mason) were transiting the strait when Iranian forces fired missiles, drones, and deployed small boats. The host also mentions a large oil slick near Karg Island, suggesting Iran may be deliberately releasing millions of barrels of oil into the Persian Sea—creating an ecological disaster.2. Iran's Rail Corridor to ChinaDiscussion of the Xi'an to Tehran rail corridor as an alternative to maritime blockades. Cargo train frequency has surged from one per week to one every 3-4 days since April, with freight rates climbing around 40%. However, the host notes this won't significantly replace oil exports since it would take 7,000-8,000 tankers to equal a single VLCC (very large crude carrier).3. Venezuela's Economic and Infrastructure CrisisMultiple stories cover Venezuela's failing electrical grid, which is operating well below capacity and causing widespread blackouts. The host discusses Venezuela's exploitation by China (being forced to sell oil at deep discounts while buying overpriced goods) and rehabilitation costs estimated at $15 billion over three years.4. Venezuela's Stranded Natural Gas DevelopmentShell is exploring development of Venezuela's offshore natural gas resources (Dragon Gas Field with 4.2-4.5 trillion cubic feet) to be routed through Trinidad and Tobago's infrastructure, potentially under OFAC sanctions relief programs.5. Nuclear Energy RevivalConstellation Energy is restarting the Three Mile Island nuclear plant to meet booming AI-powered electricity demand. The host advocates for restarting other nuclear facilities, particularly in California.6. BP's Strategic Pivot Away from Clean EnergyBP is selling stakes in UK carbon capture projects, signaling a return to focus on core oil and gas operations. The host notes this reflects a broader pullback by major oil companies from clean energy spending.7. Virginia's Carbon Market (RGGI)Criticism of Virginia's participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative as a "wealth transfer" that will increase utility bills for ratepayers, comparing it unfavorably to California's bullet train project.8.

Interview: Possible Iran Peace Deal or Groundhog Day? w/Jonathan Savage
Iran keeps sending proposals that go nowhere, Scott Bessent says the economic blockade is suffocating the regime, and prediction markets now show southern states above 50% to redistrict before the midterms. Plus, Tucker Carlson gives a baffling New York Times interview, and hard data shows taking your kids to church is one of the most powerful predictors of success in life.

Send us Fan MailDo you ever have that feeling of deja vu? Of history repeating itself? Of waking up to Sonny and Cher EVERY morning? Well if not, no worries! You can live vicariously through the hapless and cynical weatherman, Phil Connors in 1993's "Groundhog Day." Directed by Harold Ramis, and starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell and Chris Elliot, this film is a classic must-watch of a man who is doomed to wake up in the same day over and over again. We also discuss the origins of Groundhog Day as well as other "weather lore." So join us as we continue our slog through an uncertain New England spring; when we can all seem to appreciate the quote: "it's gonna be cold, it's gonna be gray, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life."

It's nearly exam season and the countdown, post-Easter, has truly begun. The pressure is on. Revision classes are running before school, after school, lunchtimes. Material is being revisited, practice papers are being circulated, students are requesting psychic predictions of paper content. The holy grail of the fabled study leave experienced by their predecessors is within touching distance and yet… the sense of immediacy somehow feels lacking - like the exams are months rather than days away. Is it worse in 2026 than it has ever been or have we forgotten last year already? Is apathy the name of the game or is it something else? Is it anxiety? Burn out? Boredom through Groundhog Day repetition of the same material? Join The Morning Break team's discussion as they delve into the classroom experiences and feelings leading up to exam season.
Carl, Harry and Firas discuss the Groundhog Day discourse of St. George's Day, the gridlock at the Strait of Hormuz, and your favourite new Indian-run AI influencer.

We discuss whether or not this film still holds up, especially given its twists, and we debate whether it borrows heavily from the 1993 film Groundhog Day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of More Than Work, Rabiah sits down with Lynn Harris, founder and CEO of Gold Comedy — a comedy school, professional network, and content studio built for women, non-binary folks, and anyone who's ever felt like an outsider in the comedy world. Lynn shares her winding career path from journalism to Oxygen to human rights advocacy, and how it all led to creating a space where comedians can build real careers without the bro vibe. She and Rabiah dig into the sexism still baked into the comedy industry, why it matters who makes comedy and not just who watches it, and why putting in the reps beats raw talent every time. Plus, Lynn reveals her Groundhog Day song, her undefeated prescription record, and why she's currently inspired by eye surgeons.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to More Than Work00:34 Meet Lynn Harris: Founder & CEO of Gold Comedy02:34 What Is Gold Comedy?03:57 The Comedy Industry's Gender Problem04:58 Tokenizing Women Comics — and What It Costs Everyone08:30 The Jeff Ross Story: Sexism Is Bad for Comedy20:38 Lynn's Career Path: Journalism, Oxygen & Breakup Girl25:18 Human Rights Advocacy Through Comedy29:23 How Gold Comedy Came to Be37:07 How to Join Gold Comedy31:37 What Success Looks Like at Gold Comedy33:12 Advice & Mantras: You Don't Have to Change Who You Are37:07 Fun Five Questions46:26 OutroNote from Rabiah (host):Lynn Harris saw what a lot of us in comedy have seen and is doing something about it.

As a woman in comedy myself, I have been introduced as a “female comedian” and even had someone say, “we needed a woman so out next comic is here” as though there was no other reason or value in my being there. The inclusion of me also became exclusion at the same time. I enjoyed our chat and hearing about her experiences in New York City.

Check your email attachments and grab a towel, because things are getting wildly uncomfortable in the studio! The Filmlosophers are back, and the mics are officially under the romantic—and ruthless—control of Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy. The time has finally come for Hosts Eddie and Spencer to buckle down, face the music, and review the agonizing fallout from Amy's infamous Streaming is For Lovers pitches. Before the boys are subjected to the trials of modern streaming romance, the crew tackles a wildly chaotic week in the movie news cycle. The team dives deep into the madness of CinemaCon 2026, unpacking the massive, mind-boggling slate of announcements coming out of Paramount Pictures. From their sudden theatrical commitments to the bombshell reveal of Top Gun 3, there is plenty to discuss. But the biggest headline of the week is the unprecedented, catastrophic leak of the highly anticipated animated epic, Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender. Was it a sophisticated studio hack, or did someone actually just accidentally email the entire movie to a random person? The crew breaks down the internal drama, the furious fan reactions, and what this disaster means for the future of the franchise. Once the news desk is cleared, it's time to walk into the rom-com hellfire. Out of all the swoon-worthy options Amy delivered, the team agreed to review the one film that seemed somewhat palatable: the 2017 Netflix time-loop comedy, Naked. Eddie and Spencer quickly realize they were woefully unprepared. The trio grits their teeth as they unpack the sheer absurdity of Marlon Wayans repeatedly waking up in an elevator in his birthday suit, debate the lazy mechanics of the movie's Groundhog Day-style wedding timeline, and question how a film with such a wild premise can make them lose their minds in all the wrong ways. It's an episode full of CinemaCon surprises, Airbender anxiety, and time-looping torture!

This episode kicks off exactly how you'd expect from a funny podcast that thrives on oversharing — with Riz prepping for his wife's colonoscopy like it's a full-blown live event. We're talking guest room exile, filming post-anesthesia nonsense, and somehow comparing medical procedures to oil changes. Because of course we are.From there, the show spirals into a nostalgia-fueled rabbit hole of “things from the past that would absolutely break us today” — including:Waiting in line for a payphoneDial-up internet destroying your household peacePhysically going to the bank like some kind of pilgrimDownloading a single song for half a dayAnd the true trauma: no save points in old video gamesBasically, if you survived the ‘90s, congrats — you earned today's convenience.Clownvis Presley (yes, that's real, no we won't explain it again) joins the studio and instantly brings the weird energy up to acceptable Rizz Show levels. There's talk of him standing motionless in parking lots like a haunted Elvis statue (which… honestly tracks), plus hype for his upcoming Oddballs & Outlaws Tour, hitting St. Louis at Red Flag.Meanwhile, Rafe is fully spiraling over a stacked Willie Nelson show lineup — and plotting ways to sneak onto Willie's tour bus like it's a low-budget heist movie.The crew continues their 90s movie bracket, and it gets personal:Dumb and Dumber vs Office Space (rude matchup)Tommy Boy vs Austin Powers (illegal to choose)Something About Mary vs Mrs. Doubtfire (childhood vs comedy chaos)Big Lebowski vs Groundhog Day (existential crisis edition)Everyone argues like their childhood depends on it — because it kinda does.The show's signature game returns, and it's a rollercoaster:One round goes completely off the rails (shocking no one)Another round magically connects “doctor” and “hoodie” into “lab coat” like some kind of psychic miracleMultiple moments where the audience is definitely yelling at their radiosIt's the perfect mix of “we got this” and “we absolutely do not got this.”Riz debuts a new game pulling tiny sounds from songs, forcing everyone to guess the track and artist — which turns into:ConfusionAccidental brillianceAnd at least one moment where someone somehow nails it and everyone else gets madStandard operating procedure.Because this is a daily comedy show, we also acknowledge:National Cocktail Day
