The Jets may be better off resisting the urge to chase another quarterback and simply letting this season play out. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber debate whether J.J. McCarthy would really solve anything, why Aaron Glenn's future complicates the quarterback picture, and how the Jets' three first-round picks could make next year's draft the cleanest path to finding their future at the position. Cade Klubnik also gets a chance to create some optimism with a big preseason performance. Plus, the return of football at MetLife brings a heated tailgate food debate, Geno Smith and Odell Beckham Jr. jerseys make a comeback, and the crew celebrates another edition of Idiots with Idioms.

Andy Green is giving Mets fans something to believe in despite a miserable season. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash debate whether Green's aggressive “play to win” mentality, combined with a strong finish, could turn an interim job into a legitimate managerial opportunity. If the Mets can climb toward 80 wins after selling off bullpen pieces, would Green have done enough to force the organization to seriously consider keeping him? Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as the conversation shifts to Brian Cashman and the Yankees. Is Cashman's remarkable record of consistent winning enough anymore, or has the lack of championships made a fresh voice necessary? Plus, the Yankees add veteran catcher Mitch Garver, Devin Williams trade receipts resurface, and another chaotic edition of Idiots with Idioms closes out the week.

In this presentation, Shaykh Arif Abdul Hussain examines how doctrines now central to mainstream Shi'i theology and piety — such as wilāya takwīniyya, the Imams' knowledge of the unseen, and tawassul — sit within a broader Qur'ānic definition of ghuluww. He traces this to an inconsistency in how verification standards are applied across different genres of Imāmī literature, and argues that applying the Imams' own criteria consistently exposes these ghulūw-adjacent idioms.

With the World Cup underway, we're taking another look at one of our lessons on English idioms related to football. People have been competing in and watching some form of sports for thousands of years. Sports enduring popularity has helped it grow into a $2.3 trillion a year industry. And it's expected to just keep on growing. Among all sports, there's one that is far and away the most popular, and that's football, or soccer. Almost half the global population counts themselves as fans of the sport. So it's no wonder that something this popular has impacted the English language. Listen to any conversation in a sales meeting, around the water cooler, in the boardroom, or over drinks between colleagues and you're guaranteed to hear idioms related to football. These idioms are so common that most people don't think for a second about where they came from. They're just a natural part of everyday language. In today's dialog, we'll rejoin Marilyn and Karl, two colleagues at a publishing firm. They are talking about Karl's interest in a job at the company's Sydney branch. Karl is hoping Marilyn can help him decide whether to apply for the job. As you listen to the dialog, try to answer the following questions: 1. How does Karl's wife feel about moving to Sydney? 2. Why does Karl feel like he's cheating on his own company? 3. What advice does Marilyn give at the end of the conversation?

Plus, fans call in with parade stories, Evan investigates whether Mayor Mamdani is really a Knicks fan, the guys argue over which New York team could have the next massive parade, and the show gets into the Yankees' loss to the White Sox, Anthony Volpe's mistake, Aaron Boone analytics, Mets-Phillies drama, Francisco Lindor's return, Idiots with Idioms and some World Cup confusion.

What did the prophets mean when they warned of “peace, peace” when there was no peace? In this Hebraic Idioms study, Pastor Brandon Holthaus examines the powerful biblical expression found in Ezekiel and how it applies not only to ancient Israel but also to the world today. Drawing from Ezekiel, Jeremiah, the teachings of Paul, and the words of Jesus, this message explores the danger of false security, the deception of comforting lies, and the reality that true peace can only come through a right relationship with God. Pastor Brandon explains how false prophets promised safety while judgment was approaching, why people naturally prefer reassuring messages over difficult truth, and how the same pattern will reappear in the last days through the global cry of “peace and safety.” The study also examines personal responsibility, generational influences, spiritual deception, and the importance of breaking destructive patterns through obedience to Christ. Topics covered: • The Hebraic idiom “Peace, Peace” (Shalom, Shalom) • False prophets and false assurances • Ezekiel 13 and Jeremiah's warnings • Paul's prophecy of “peace and safety” • The danger of spiritual complacency • Judgment, repentance, and biblical truth • Generational patterns and personal responsibility • Breaking destructive family cycles • Spiritual warfare and discernment • The difference between false peace and true biblical peace • End times parallels and prophetic implications • How believers can stand firm in a culture of deception Join us as we explore this important Hebraic idiom and discover why genuine peace is found only through Jesus Christ.

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP-163c-Football-Idioms-1.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod. With the World Cup about to kick off, we're taking a fresh look at one of our lessons on business English idioms related to football. What do you call an activity where groups of people compete strategically against each other as they strive to be the winner? I mean an activity with a clear goal where success requires strong teamwork and a commitment to excellent performance? Some of you might be thinking about sports. Some of you might be thinking about business. Well, you're both right. There are so many obvious similarities between sports and business, it's no wonder that we see the language of sport come into play in the corporate world. And there's a particular type of language that we're going to focus on in this lesson, called idioms. Just like the expression “come into play,” which means to be involved or to be a factor in something. Now when I say “football,” I'm referring to the game with the round ball that players kick into a net past a goalkeeper. It's what North Americans tend to call “soccer,” to differentiate it from their own game of football, which is a whole different ball game altogether! Internationally, football – or soccer – is the most popular sport in the world. So it's no wonder it has inspired so many idioms commonly used in business. In the dialog, we'll hear Karl and Marilyn, two friends who work at a publishing company. Karl is thinking about applying for a job at the company's Sydney office. He has some doubts though, so he asks Marilyn what she thinks. Listening Questions 1. How does Karl describe his approach to his career? 2. Why is Karl worried about the other candidates for the job he's interested in? 3. What does Marilyn say happens at the Sidney office?

The NBA lottery has Evan Roberts on edge as he and Tiki Barber debate whether the Brooklyn Nets will finally catch a break or get stuck with another painful result. The conversation also turns to a potential Knicks and Thunder Finals matchup, and why losing to a dynasty never feels as comforting as fans want it to. The episode brings plenty of laughs with another edition of “Idiots with Idioms,” featuring mangled phrases, memorable radio flubs, and the kind of chaos that has made the segment a weekly favorite. Evan and Tiki also touch on Subway Series pitching, John Sterling's 2009 World Series call, and a caller's idea for a new segment built around whether Tiki actually cares.

The Mets are spiraling, and Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash dig into why the frustration around Carlos Mendoza is only getting louder. With the team sitting at the bottom of baseball, the conversation turns to whether a managerial change should be on the table, even if the struggles are not entirely his fault. The episode also brings some much needed comedy, from a hilarious Little League draft pick story involving Pete Alonso to another round of “Idiots With Idioms.” Evan and Shaun then test New York sports history by running through postseason battles between New York and Atlanta teams, uncovering just how often New York has had the upper hand.

Daniel and I are talking about idioms when I receive a text from my son's teacher which is awful but also hilarious and probably my fault. Also I witnessed a woman named Cookie at the doctor's office and now I want to bring her energy into my life. Daniel's batteries are running out but he has a new career venture and we're trying to not go to the Renaissance Faire.   Get yourself some new ARIYNBF merch here: https://alison-rosen-shop.fourthwall.com/ Subscribe to my Substack: http://alisonrosen.substack.com Podcast Palz Product Picks: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alisonrosen/list/2CS1QRYTRP6ER?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfalisonrosen_0K0AJFYP84PF1Z61QW2H Products I Use/Recommend/Love: http://amazon.com/shop/alisonrosen Check us out on Patreon: http://patreon.com/alisonrosen   This episode is brought to you by BLISSY (http://blissy.com/bestfriend).
