Today we have Becca. She is 35 years old, lives in Delaware County, PA, and she took her last drink of alcohol on August 7th, 2024. This episode is brought to you by: Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help Check out this free guide to your first seven days without alcohol. Registration for our sober travel trip to Morocco is open! This trip will take place March 3rd – 13th, 2027. [02:25] Thoughts from Paul: The most important thing that someone has to achieve or overcome if they are to quit drinking is denial. The very convincing inner voice that keeps telling you on repeat that you do not have a problem. This is hard because we build our lives around alcohol and usually this is done unconsciously. The problem is often hiding in plain sight, and you just can't or choose not to see it. It's also hard because marketing is powerful and smart people are paid a lot of money to make you feel like it's a required sidecar to life. So even though the addiction is hiding in plain sight, you also know it is there. You know how alcohol makes you feel. In addition to the voice saying you don't have a problem, there is another voice telling you, "I'll give you 50 more hangovers and then it's time to move on". Next week, we'll talk more about moving on. [06:23] Paul introduces Becca: Becca is 35 years old, lives in Delaware County, PA, has two cats and 12-13 nieces and nephews. For fun, Becca enjoys hiking, music, reading, film, cooking and puzzles. Becca was one of seven children growing up. Her older siblings liked to party, so Becca followed in their footsteps in her early teens. She drank and smoked pot for a few years before getting introduced to harder drugs when she was around 16. She quickly felt like she had cracked the code for getting through life. Becca says she was really naïve and spending time with bad people. In 2010, Becca was in a car accident that left her badly injured. She was only 19 and says this was the lowest time of her life. She withdrew from opiates but ended up going back out before having a friend take her to rehab where she first attempted recovery and eventually got sober in 2012. Becca dealt with the loss of several friends in 2013, and this is when excessive drinking sneaked into her life. She had another accident and DUI in 2014 and refused to believe that the drinking was a problem. She was able to quit when she went to school and believed that since she could quit for periods of time, that it wasn't an issue for her. Becca believed that she should be able to control her drinking and would beat herself up whenever she wasn't. Her drinking slowed dramatically in 2019 because she was sick of the anxiety and how she was relating to herself. She did end up becoming a workaholic to avoid dealing with anything that was bothering her. After staying sober through the pandemic, Becca began to use drinking as a way to connect with others and not drink by herself. Within a few weeks she was right back into self-loathing and trapped in the cycle of stops and starts for the next several years. In 2024, Becca took a fall at work that has had lasting physical and emotional impacts. She went through another dark time where she wasn't showing up for herself or others and was just sick and tired of being sick and tired. It was after six months of sobriety that Becca joined AA, found the RE podcast, and later joined Café RE. In her previous attempts at quitting, Becca was trying to do it by herself. Being part of community has been life-changing for her in that she feels acceptance and the ability to hear her story in others. This year she has finally started to feel safer in her nervous system, she is more grounded in herself and able to hold space for good things. Becca's parting piece of guidance: Don't get stuck on the fear. Get out of that comfortable pain and embrace something new. Recovery Elevator We took the elevator down. We got to take the stairs back up. We can do this. Café RE RE Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes RE YouTube

This year marks the 27th anniversary of the deadly persecution of the meditation practice Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong. To raise awareness of another year of human rights violations by the Chinese Communist Party, Falun Gong practitioners and human rights advocates are holding parades and rallies around the world, including in the nation's capital this week.U.S. Central Command says another wave of airstrikes was launched against Iran on Sunday, targeting command centers, missile and drone launch sites and military communications networks. According to CENTCOM, one American service member was killed in Iraq on Saturday, and two other service members died in Jordan, while a third remains missing following an Iranian attack on Friday.Spain is back on top of the soccer world. After a hundred tense minutes at the packed New York-New Jersey Stadium, substitute Ferran Torres buried the biggest goal of his career. An extra-time strike that gave Spain a 1-0 victory over Argentina, and the nation's second World Cup title. Coach Luis de la Fuente says his young squad is already looking ahead to defending its title and the 20-0 World Cup. Spain will co-host that tournament, alongside Portugal and Morocco.
European champions Spain won their second World Cup on Sunday, defeating Argentina 1-0 in extra time at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.当地时间 7 月 19 日,在东卢瑟福大都会人寿体育场进行的世界杯决赛战至加时赛,西班牙凭借加时进球击败阿根廷夺冠。赢得了他们的第二座世界杯冠军。Ferran Torres scored the only goal of the game in extra time — his first of the tournament — kicking in a cross by Nico Williams, who had a goal 10 minutes early disallowed for a foul.费兰·托雷斯在加时赛中攻入全场唯一进球,也是他在本届赛事上的首粒进球——他接尼科·威廉姆斯的传中破门。威廉姆斯在10分钟前曾有一粒进球因犯规被判无效。A second goal by Torres in extra time was deemed offside and disallowed.托雷斯在加时赛中的第二粒进球被判越位无效。Argentina played extra time down one man, after Enzo Fernandez received a second yellow card and was sent off near the end of regulation.阿根廷在加时赛中少一人作战,恩佐·费尔南德斯在常规时间临近结束时吃到第二张黄牌被罚下场。Spain's only other World Cup championship was a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands in the 2010 tournament hosted by South Africa.西班牙此前唯一一次世界杯夺冠是在2010年南非世界杯上,当时他们以1比0战胜荷兰队。On their way to the championship, Spain knocked out other tournament favorites Portugal and France.在夺冠之路上,西班牙先后淘汰了另外两支夺冠热门球队葡萄牙和法国。Following a surprising 0-0 draw against Cape Verde in its first game, Spain went on to win its next seven games, allowing only one goal while scoring 14.在首场令人意外的0比0战平佛得角之后,西班牙在接下来的七场比赛中取得全胜,攻入14球仅失1球。Spain's defense did not even allow Argentina a shot on goal in the entire 120 minutes of the final, while Argentina's goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez set a World Cup final record with 10 saves.西班牙的防线在决赛120分钟内甚至没有让阿根廷队完成一次射正,阿根廷门将埃米利亚诺·马丁内斯则贡献了10次扑救,创下了世界杯决赛纪录。The loss ended a drive by Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, to win back-to-back World Cups, a feat only accomplished by Italy in 1934-38, and Brazil in 1958-62.这场失利终结了梅西率领的阿根廷队实现世界杯卫冕的征程——这一壮举此前仅有意大利(1934-1938年)和巴西(1958-1962年)完成过。A fourth Argentine victory would have put them in a tie with Germany and Italy for second place with four titles. Brazil, the only nation to appear in every World Cup, has five championships.如果阿根廷第四次夺冠,他们本将以4座冠军与德国和意大利并列历史第二位。巴西队则以5座冠军领跑——巴西也是唯一一支参加了每一届世界杯的国家。This year's World Cup was the first time three countries — the United States, Canada and Mexico — have co-hosted the tournament, with games in 16 cities. It was also the first time the field had been expanded to 48 teams.本届世界杯是首次由三个国家——美国、加拿大和墨西哥——联合主办,比赛在16座城市举行。这也是世界杯首次扩军至48支球队。Japan and South Korea co-hosted in 2002.此前2002年世界杯由日本和韩国联合主办。The next World Cup in 2030 will again see three host countries — Spain, Portugal and Morocco.2030年世界杯将由西班牙、葡萄牙和摩洛哥三个国家联合主办。knocked out /nɒkt aʊt/淘汰favorites /ˈfeɪvərɪts/夺冠热门draw /drɔː/平局shot on goal /ʃɒt ɒn ɡəʊl/射正saves /seɪvz/扑救back-to-back /bæk tə bæk/卫冕,连续夺冠

Jay Dyer's interview on Tucker Carlson this week once again proved how far Christians are willing to go out of either ignorance or malicious intent to slap their label on things that do not belong to them, even if they contributed to the same after the fact. Jay claimed that the Byzantine empire was the greatest in history of the world because of Christianity. He also claimed yoga was anti-Christian and magic was wicked, while simultaneously saying that he believed literal bread and wine could be turned into the literal flesh and blood of a God and then consumed. Constantinople was founded in 330 CE. Christianity was adopted as the state religion of the Roman empire in 380 CE. Byzantine was not referred to as such until approximately 100 years later. However, Byzantine was simply the eastern half of the Roman empire. Although Byzantine was primarily Christian, Christians did not build it from the ground because the eastern empire was a continuation of the collective empire, and it inherited all the same economic, social, legal, etc. elements from a primarily non-Christian world. To paint Byzantine as a Christian empire as opposed to the alternative Muslim world is dishonest because their greatest enemy was the non-Muslim Sasanian empire, which embraced Zoroastrianism -- a religion not dissimilar from, but far predating, Christianity. The Byzantine empire utilized slave labor to the same extent the Romans or Muslims used them. Further east, Laozi was writing the same things found in the New Testament 500 years before Jesus. Buddha was tempted by Mara, like Jesus was tempted, but 500 years before. It is entirely relative to talk about the first hospitals and schools being Christian, because most previous societies had them. In fact, the Chinese Han Dynasty had both long before Christendom and Byzantine. Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, all contributed to the university and hospital. The ancient Egyptians had medical centers and the Ancient Greeks had schools. The world's first and oldest continuously operating university is the University of Al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco. Founded in 859 AD by a Muslim named Fatima al-Fihri. The University of Bologna in Italy was founded in 1088 AD and is widely regarded as the oldest university in Europe and the first institution to use the term universitas (meaning a corporation of students). However, Taixue is likely the oldest institutional university in the world, dating back to 124 BC under Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty. Just as eastern Roman Empire wasn't called "byzantine" until after its collapse, Christians like to take credit for the first university, which was only such in name, not in conception or function.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

It can be hard to get a clear picture, so our episode today is here to help: "How much do things cost in Morocco?"As much as there's the standard answer, "It depends," we go a little deeper than that and try to frame costs around certain standards and levels of service. Whether that means different types of accommodation, the cost of meals at sit-down restaurants, do desert camps vary greatly in price, how much are activities such as a Hot Air Balloon ride, and lots more.There are a couple of possible yet unrelated preconceptions about Morocco that we should address. For one, folks might think that Morocco is a budget travel destination akin to Thailand or El Salvador, where your dollar goes very far, decent accommodation is well under $100/night, and an amazing meal costs $5.Well, that's not the case in Morocco, our costs aren't quite that low! Secondly, costs in Morocco might simply seem unknown, with no real frame of reference. Maybe it's expensive, maybe it's not, how can you know, and what can you relate it to? And when you see the cost of something, are you getting the appropriate value for that cost?Morocco generally speaking fits in somewhere between the costs of Western Europe and Eastern Europe. Not quite as expensive as France or the UK, but not as inexpensive as maybe Albania or Poland. Similar prices to what we often see in North America, but also very good, and certainly unique value, whether it's in our distinct accommodation (riads) or our one-of-a-kind cuisine.So our goal here today is to help give you a frame of reference and ease the sticker shock that might come otherwise. And to therefore help you plan better, know what questions to ask and make an educated decision on budgeting for your trip!You can also watch the video version of this episode on our YouTube channel here: "Typical Travel Costs in Morocco" Join me for an 8-Day Boutique Moroccan Experience!https://trips.destinationsmorocco.com/Morocco-2026Step inside the hidden Morocco on this first-of-its-kind, 12-spot journey, hosted personally by Azdean.November 8-15, 2026, $1995 USD Per PersonBook Your Spot Today!

California's almond industry is entering the 2026 harvest with optimism as strong global demand, stable prices, and a slightly smaller crop position growers for another successful marketing year. On today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, Valley Pride Ag's Sunny Toor shared his outlook while traveling overseas to meet with buyers in key export markets. Speaking from Dubai before continuing to India, Toor said the 2025 crop has largely moved through the supply chain, with shipments expected to reach approximately 2.6 billion pounds out of a crop of roughly 2.7 billion pounds. He credited growers, processors, exporters, and international customers for keeping demand strong throughout the season. Looking ahead, Toor expects this year's crop to come in slightly below last season's production. "My number is between 2.6 and 2.65 billion pounds," Toor said, noting that several years of challenging grower returns have taken a toll on production. He added that stronger almond prices during the past year have finally allowed many growers to improve their financial position after several difficult seasons. Harvest is also expected to begin earlier than normal. Toor said orchards are running roughly one-and-a-half to two weeks ahead of schedule, with harvest expected to begin in portions of the Central Valley within days. While spring heat may slightly reduce kernel weights, overall crop quality appears strong, with no major issues reported heading into harvest. International markets continue to drive the California almond industry. Toor estimated that 70 to 74 percent of the state's almond crop will be exported this season, with major demand coming from India, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. India remains one of Valley Pride Ag's most important markets. Toor said his current overseas trip is focused on securing in-shell almond sales ahead of the country's Diwali celebration, one of the busiest periods for almond consumption. He also noted that negotiations between the United States and India could eventually reduce tariffs on almonds, creating additional export opportunities. Beyond India, Toor sees continued growth potential throughout North Africa, including Morocco and Algeria, while established markets across Europe and the Middle East remain strong. California continues to supply the majority of the world's almond demand because of its consistent quality and reliable production. Toor emphasized that maintaining quality begins in the orchard, encouraging growers to stay vigilant for late-season pest pressure and continue working closely with their pest control advisers through harvest. "Quality isn't made by processors or marketers," he said. "It's made by the growers." Despite ongoing challenges facing California agriculture, Toor said stable prices and steady global demand have created a much healthier outlook than growers experienced just a year ago.

Griffin Warner talks sports betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner delivers a leaner but sharp episode of What I Bet built around the only two events worth betting on this Tuesday, the World Cup semifinal between Spain and France at AT&T Stadium in Arlington and the Major League Baseball All Star Game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Griffin opens at 0:32 by setting the stage for Spain and France, two nations that entered the tournament as co favorites at 5 to 1 odds as of July 3rd but have since diverged, with France now installed as the clear favorite needing a win in regulation to cover the spread. At 1:17 Griffin lays out his case for Spain, arguing that their possession based style works identically whether they are favored or underdogs, a trait he considers rare in knockout soccer, and noting the team is getting healthier at the right time. At 1:33 he acknowledges France's individual talent, led by Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, both of whom scored from outside the box in a 2 to 0 quarterfinal win over Morocco discussed at 2:03, while questioning whether longtime manager Didier Deschamps offers much beyond simply fielding the more talented roster. By 2:18 Griffin lands on his headline soccer pick, backing Spain as a quarter goal underdog and urging listeners to grab the number immediately before it shifts, explaining that the quarter goal split between a pick em portion and a plus one half portion protects bettors with a partial cash return if the match extends into extra time, which he expects given Spain's discipline defending against counterattacks. At 2:48 he shares his lean on the two and a half goal total, expecting the public to favor the over given the star power on both rosters while he sees a low scoring, controlled match shaping up instead, landing at 3:19 on a combined recommendation of Spain under the total and Spain to advance outright near plus 130 depending on the sportsbook. The show pivots to baseball at 3:49, with Griffin outlining the All Star Game lines, a National League team favored at minus 128 against the American League at plus 116, and a total of eight runs priced at minus 104 to the under and minus 116 to the over. At 4:20 he explains his general approach to exhibition baseball, trusting that the sport's best pitchers will suppress even the hottest first half hitters, despite acknowledging Philadelphia's shorter outfield dimensions raise the risk profile for an under play. At 4:50 Griffin spends real time on the Toronto Blue Jays' dominant presence in All Star voting following last season's seven game World Series run, highlighting Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s selection as the American League's starting first baseman despite a career worst first half that included stretches of just five home runs, and wondering aloud whether a taxing offseason program contributed to the decline. At 5:05 he notes Blue Jays manager John Schneider is running the American League dugout, tying the assignment to Toronto's pennant winning season, and projects a National League win that should mean fewer total at bats and a lower final score. After a quick promotional break at 5:35 pointing listeners toward pregame dot com and the CUP15 discount code for 15 dollars off any package, including Griffin's World Cup All Access pass covering the tournament's final four match days for 60 dollars instead of 75, Griffin previews an upcoming return to full scale baseball coverage once the World Cup wraps this Sunday and marks the milestone of six years and 64 episodes of Pregame Network podcasting. He closes at 6:51 with his top play of the night, the under eight runs total in the All Star Game, built on the theory that elite pitching wins out over hot hitting even in a hitter friendly ballpark, and offers the under first five innings at 7:07 as a higher variance alternative for bettors wanting extra action, reasoning that without extra innings or the Manfred Man rule extending the game the first five inning number offers a cleaner read on true scoring pace. Griffin signs off previewing Tuesday's World Cup semifinal as the centerpiece of the show's next episode and thanking listeners for their continued support of What I Bet and the wider Straight Outta Vegas AM lineup on the Pregame Network.

Frank managed to pick up an injury during his hockey tournament in LA, but Eddie had his own personal disaster during the Norway v England quarterfinal. They look back on all of the matches from the quarterfinal stages, including France's comfortable win over Morocco, a late winner for Spain against Belgium, and extra-time wins for England and Argentina. Are Norway right to feel slightly aggrieved by decisions that went against them in the England match? And were Switzerland denied a late penalty against Argentina? We then look ahead to the semifinals, including Mbappe's remarkable World Cup record, and a heated rivalry between Argentina and England that Eddie thinks is often misunderstood. Plus, Jannick Sinner wins Wimbledon again, and Eddie has a bone to pick with Stanley Tucci, Tom Holland, and Taylor Lewan.
RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott kick off Episode 390 with an unexpected detour into horse sanctuary volunteer orientation before turning their attention to a Mariners club desperately in need of the All-Star break after another miserable road trip. They discuss Seattle's lone All-Star representative Randy Arozarena, and the struggling offense before shifting to the biggest local sports story of the week: the $9.6 billion sale of the Seahawks to the Khosla family. Mitch and Brady Farkas survey a Mariners club that limps into the All-Star break below .500 after another frustrating road trip, debating whether an 8-2 finale provides any real optimism. The conversation centers on the anticipated returns of Julio Rodríguez and Brendan Donovan, and the uncomfortable reality that Seattle's season ultimately hinges on Cal Raleigh. Fresh off attending nine matches across the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Matt "Stretch" Johnson joins Mitch for one final World Cup recap as the pair dissect the United States' disappointing 4-1 loss to Belgium. The conversation explores the goalkeeper's costly mistakes, the overall trajectory of the U.S. program heading toward 2030, and why the next World Cup in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco should feature many of the same American stars. A miserable Mariners sweep in Miami sends Mitch and Danny O'Neil down one of the show's most delightfully bizarre rabbit holes, as baseball takes a backseat to an extended discussion about uneven sideburns, proper barbershop etiquette, London's luxurious hot-towel shaves, ear-hair removal by flame, and Mitch's childhood memories of his mother singeing stray chicken hairs with a blowtorch before dinner. The conversation eventually pivots to a sobering examination of former Seahawk Chris Johnson's ALS diagnosis, prompting a thoughtful debate over football's long-term health risks.

Today we have Rich. He is from Sacramento, CA, he is 60 years old and took his last drink on August 8th, 2025. This episode is brought to you by: Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help Registration opens on July 15th, 2026, for our sober travel trip to Morocco which is March 3rd – 13th, 2027. [02:14] Thoughts from Paul: If you are in early sobriety or find yourself on day one, your only job right now is to not drink. It isn't time to fix your whole life or worry about being productive and having it all figured out. By staying honest with your #1 job of not drinking, the body will become incredibly productive in terms of healing. Your dopamine begins to rewire; your sleep system starts to re-balance. All while you are resting. Even though we sometimes know that not drinking is our #1 job, we can still struggle to keep it this simple. The good news is that every day is a new opportunity to perfect the job and by doing so, everything else will fall into place. Trust the process. [06:05] Paul introduces Rich: Rich is 60 years old and lives in Sacramento, CA with his wife of 35 years. They have two grown children and two rat terriers to help fill the empty nest. For work, Rich is a salesman for an equipment company. For fun, Rich enjoys riding his Peloton bike, cooking, and he is an avid sports fan. Rich reflects that a lot of his drinking came from his inability to control his emotions. He says his home life growing up was great, but there was no discussion or expression of emotions. He was bullied often when he was in junior high but didn't feel comfortable telling anyone about it. On a few occasions throughout high school and college, Rich realized that alcohol helped him become the life of the party and be able to talk to people he wasn't normally friendly with. He learned that if he drank, he would be accepted and have friends. After graduating college, Rich was working in the restaurant business as a bartender in a small beach town. He said he had a lot of fun, made a lot of money and met his wife there. After getting married, they started a restaurant that they ran together for several years. Rich says his drinking wasn't an issue at that point because the restaurant did not have a focus on alcohol. Alcohol began becoming an issue for Rich in 2018 when he transitioned from a management position to a sales position that involved a lot of traveling and entertaining customers. Over time he was basing where he would stay on the location's proximity to a liquor store and would drink before and after meetings with customers. After a while, Rich started recognizing that the bottle he bought at the beginning of the trips weren't lasting as long. He would try to moderate and quickly realized it was a problem doing so especially when COVID lockdown had him concerned that liquor stores were going to be closed. At this point, Rich says a lot of his drinking happened in isolation. He was withdrawing from friends and family and trying to hide how much he was drinking from his wife. Rich was confronted by his wife a few times and always promised to work on his drinking with little luck. He attempted moderation with the help of an app but didn't make much success and says trying to moderate made him think about alcohol more. Eventually his wife called in reinforcements with their daughter, and Rich knew it was time to stop, but wasn't sure what that looked like. Rich was able to quit that day. The detox symptoms were hard, but after 10 days, he began to feel better and sleep better. Rich began reading quit lit and utilizing apps and its resources. After six months, Rich's wife encouraged him to find community. As a listener of the RE podcast, Rich heard about Café RE and decided to join. Rich credits his family as being a valuable resource and motivation to stay sober. Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down; you've got to take the stairs back up. You, WE, can do this.
