HEALTH NEWS   Berberine Shows Beneficial Effects on Metabolic Health, Study Reports Cooperation beats selfishness more often than scientists thought Sleep Disorders Don't Just Exhaust You. New Research Shows They Change Your Brain Two Hours of Strength Training Weekly Linked to Lower Heart Attack Risk in Women, Study Finds Planetary Health Diet lowers cardiovascular risk in older women     Berberine Shows Beneficial Effects on Metabolic Health, Study Reports Peking Union Medical College (China), July 24 2026 (Natural News)     A review published in the journal Molecules has summarized evidence indicating that berberine, a compound found in several plants, may influence glucose and lipid metabolism. According to the review, berberine has been associated with improvements in metabolic health markers across multiple studies. The compound is a yellow alkaloid extracted from plants such as European barberry, goldenseal, goldthread, Oregon grape, and tree turmeric. The review cited evidence that berberine may reduce blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity, according to clinical trials. A systematic review of seven randomized clinical trials from China published in Nutrients revealed that berberine consistently alters the composition of gut bacteria in patients taking the supplement, and the analysis examined data across conditions including Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and colorectal adenoma. Lipid panel improvements, including lower total cholesterol and triglycerides, were also reported in the reviewed studies.   Cooperation beats selfishness more often than scientists thought Hebrew University of Jerusalem & Rutgers University, July 20 2026 (Eureaklert)  For decades, one of the most influential ideas in evolutionary biology has suggested that when individuals act purely in their own self-interest, cooperation should eventually collapse. But a new study by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Rutgers University demonstrates that evolution may be far more optimistic than previously believed. Their findings reveal that cooperation does not require close family ties, reputation, repeated favors, or rigid social structures. Instead, cooperation can flourish simply because individuals respond differently to different opponents. The research proposes a new solution to one of biology's oldest puzzles: how cooperation survives in a world shaped by natural selection. Using mathematical models, evolutionary simulations, and populations of artificial intelligence agents, the researchers found that cooperation consistently evolved when individuals adjusted their willingness to cooperate according to whom they encountered. Rather than treating everyone identically, simple opponent-specific responses created stable communities in which cooperative behavior repeatedly outperformed purely selfish strategies. Perhaps the study's most surprising finding is that cooperative societies are not fragile exceptions. Across thousands of simulations, populations repeatedly evolved toward highly cooperative states, while purely selfish populations often failed to dominate. Even when mutations introduced new defectors, cooperative communities remained remarkably resilient.   Sleep Disorders Don't Just Exhaust You. New Research Shows They Change Your Brain Florida International University, July 26, 2026 (SciTech Daily) A poor night's sleep can affect far more than energy the next day. Research from Florida International University links sleep disorders with structural differences in brain regions that help control attention, motivation and decision-making. Published in the journal Scientific Reports, the findings provide one of the broadest comparisons yet of how different sleep disorders are associated with the brain.  The researchers compared two broad categories. Dyssomnias, such as insomnia and sleep apnea, interfere with falling asleep or remaining asleep. Parasomnias, including sleepwalking, nightmare disorder and sleep terrors, involve unusual events that disrupt the sleep cycle. Both categories were associated with decreases in the thalamus, a region that filters incoming information, supports concentration, and contributes to higher-level thinking. The researchers identified changes specifically in the pulvinar, an area within the thalamus that directs attention and helps manage cognitive control. These differences were connected with wider brain networks that support concentration and task performance. That pattern may help explain why disrupted sleep is associated with slower reactions, poorer decision-making and a greater likelihood of errors and accidents.   Two Hours of Strength Training Weekly Linked to Lower Heart Attack Risk in Women, Study Finds Harvard School of Public Health, July 26 2026 (Natural News) A large-scale study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology has found that women who engage in regular strength training have a significantly lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The study examined data from 117,025 women over an average follow-up period of 14.5 years.   Women who performed any amount of resistance training had a lower risk of cardiovascular events compared with those who did none. The association persisted after adjusting for overall lifestyle and health factors, the study stated.  Among the study's specific findings, women who performed at least two hours of resistance training per week had a 44% lower risk of heart attack relative to women who did no resistance training, the report said. Any cardiovascular disease risk was 20% lower for that group, with an additional 5% reduction per extra hour of weekly resistance training, according to the study. The benefits of strength training were more pronounced among women who maintained resistance training consistently and trained both upper and lower body, according to the study. Adding strength training to regular aerobic exercise – such as walking or running – was linked to better heart health.   Planetary Health Diet lowers cardiovascular risk in older women University of Caliornia at Irvine, July 25 2026 (News-Medical) A 20-year study of more than 65,000 postmenopausal women found that higher adherence to the Planetary Health Diet was associated with a lower risk of overall cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, stroke and heart failure. The findings showed that women whose diet most closely followed the Planetary Health Diet had about a 28% lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared with women in the group scoring the lowest for adherence. However, even moderate adherence to the diet was linked with lower risk. The Planetary Health Diet emphasizes foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and unsaturated fats while limiting foods such as red and processed meats, added sugars, refined grains and saturated fats. The investigators followed 66,892 participants in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI).  Overall, the results showed that women in the group whose diets were more closely aligned with the Planetary Health Diet had the lowest risk of cardiovascular disease. These women also showed a decreased risk of heart disease, heart failure and stroke risk compared to the women in the lowest-adherence group. However, even moderate adherence to the diet was associated with a decrease in risk, with each 10-point increase in Planetary Health Diet Index score linked to further risk reduction.

Intimacy vs. Isolation: Young Adults, Loneliness, and Real Community (with Christian Counselor Mike Kerstetter) Why are so many young adults feeling lonely, anxious, and burned out in the most “connected” generation ever? In this episode of the Young Adults Today Podcast, Josiah sits down with Christian counselor Mike Kerstetter to talk about the friendship crisis, the loss of third spaces, and the mental health warning lights that leaders and young adults can't afford to ignore. They unpack how intimacy vs. isolation shapes young adulthood, why AI can't replace real relationships, how pastors and leaders can spot burnout before the “engine blows,” and why slowing down might be the most spiritual thing you do this year. This conversation is packed with language you can use with your team, your church, and your small group.

Everyone talks about managing time. But what if time is not the problem? In this episode of the Empowered Team Podcast, Kari Schneider explores one of the biggest challenges facing leaders, professionals, and high performers today: the erosion of attention. Research shows that our average screen attention span has dropped from 2.5 minutes to just 47 seconds. Meanwhile, every interruption can require up to 23 minutes of recovery time. The result? More stress, less productivity, and a growing sense of depletion. Kari unpacks groundbreaking research from Dr. Gloria Mark and Dr. Amishi Jha to reveal how attention actually works and why understanding it can dramatically improve your leadership, performance, and well-being. In This Episode, You'll Discover: • Why attention is the true currency of a high-performing life • The hidden cost of interruptions and multitasking • The three attention systems: Flashlight, Floodlight, and Juggler • Why decision fatigue is not a character flaw, but biology • How your attention directly impacts energy, productivity, and leadership effectiveness • The “Token Model” for managing cognitive energy throughout the day • How to schedule your calendar around attention instead of tasks • Practical ways to restore focus and prevent burnout Key Takeaway Stop managing your time and start managing your attention. The quality of your life, leadership, relationships, and results depends on where your attention goes. When you learn to protect it, replenish it, and direct it intentionally, everything changes.

When your partner shuts down in the middle of a hard conversation, it's easy to read it as punishment — as coldness, stubbornness, or not caring. What if that's almost never what's actually happening?In this episode, Todd Creager — Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 35 years of experience — takes a closer look at stonewalling, one of the patterns John and Julie Gottman identified as a serious warning sign in relationships. Todd offers a different way to understand it, one rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the way protective parts of us learned to manage emotional danger long before our current relationship existed.He explains that stonewalling isn't cruelty. It's a manager — a protective part that decided somewhere along the way that silence was safer than speech. That part didn't develop in response to your spouse. It developed in response to what happened much earlier: a child who was dismissed when they spoke up, shamed when they were vulnerable, or simply never had anyone attuned enough to make expression feel safe.Todd walks through real examples from his practice, including the client who remembers being met with anger as a child for expressing a normal feeling — and the client who has no clear memories of meanness, only an absence of attunement. In both cases, the outcome was the same: the body learned to go quiet.The shift Todd describes — from "why are you doing this to me?" to "what does that part of you need so we can come back to each other?" — is where real repair begins. Not just of the current conflict, but of older wounds the relationship has quietly been carrying.If you or your partner stonewalls, this episode gives you a new framework for understanding what's actually happening, and a starting point for approaching it with less blame and more curiosity.Listen now — and if this work is resonating, visit toddcreager.com to learn more about individual and couples therapy, or explore his self-guided programs.

Geno McWilliams is the self-taught chef and owner of Lucia's Italian Kitchen in Effingham, Illinois, a 39-seat open kitchen Italian restaurant three hours south of Chicago that has become a destination in rural America. He spent decades as a construction contractor while teaching himself to cook, traveled with more cooking equipment than construction tools, fired pizzas in hotel rooms with an Ooni Koda, and opened Lucia's in November 2020. He is a member of the US Pizza Team and Women in Pizza certified.He attended the Rewiring Hospitality conference in Irvine, California the week before this recording. His biggest takeaway became the central argument of this entire episode: after years of obsessing over the food, the food is not the point. The food is the bonus. Hospitality is what brings guests back.Why Lucia's pre-shift meetings never discuss 86 items, cover counts, or operational details and spend every minute on one question: how are we going to make the guest experience better tonightThe difference between Italian and Italian American cuisine and why Geno built his menu around traditional Italian dishes in a town that walked in expecting fettuccine Alfredo and chicken ParmThe pasta economics that every small Italian restaurant needs to understand: 90 percent extruded, 10 percent stuffed, and why pushing that ratio in the wrong direction will destroy your labor and your consistencyAndré Natera and Geno McWilliams cover the wedding dance moment that went viral on social media, reading guests through body language and NLP, the Roman tonda meets New York style pizza hybrid that defines Lucia's pizza, the discovery that French toast originated in fourth century Rome, and the construction contractor financial discipline that gave Geno a foundation most self-taught chefs never develop. The episode closes with his Mount Rushmore of chefs by category, his yellow tape kitchen in honor of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his tagline: cheaper than a ticket to Italy.GuestGeno McWilliams on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chefginomc/Lucia's Italian Kitchen on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/luciaseffingham/Lucia's Italian Kitchen Website → https://luciasik.com/LinksSubscribe on Substack → https://chefspsa.substack.com/Shop Chef's PSA Merch → https://shop.chefspsa.com/Visit Chef's PSA Website → https://chefspsa.com/Lead Like a Chef App → https://studio.com/apps/andre/leadlikeachef

If you've ever wondered why some investors swear by UK commercial property investment while others stick to shares, pensions and buy-to-let, we lay out the real mechanics: what your return is made of, how leases shape risk, and when property genuinely earns its place in a portfolio.We get specific about rental yield versus capital appreciation, and why commercial property can look steadier than equities day to day even though it is not as liquid. Alasdair explains how borrowing can boost return on equity when the deal stacks up, and we pressure-test the assumptions so you can think in net cashflow terms rather than headlines. We also tackle the residential versus commercial debate, including why repairs and ongoing costs can quietly crush buy-to-let returns, and why full repairing and insuring (FRI) leases often shift responsibility back to the tenant in the commercial world.Then we zoom out to what's hot for 2026 and beyond: how risk appetite changes the yield you should expect, why “retail is dead” is an oversimplification, and what has driven industrial property's standout performance since 2020. We also touch on the office market's post-Covid reset and what quality and demand look like now.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

In Part 2 of this conversation on The Greatness Machine, host Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down again with real estate developer and former mortgage industry executive Jon Irvine to dive deep into America's housing affordability crisis and the groundbreaking California legislation that could reshape how homes are built across the country. Jon shares a pivotal personal moment, selling a modest 2,000 sq ft Beverly Grove home for $3.35 million, that crystallized why younger generations are being priced out of homeownership. From there, the conversation explores California Senate Bill 1123 (SB 1123), a transformative zoning law that could allow developers to build up to 10 homes where only one previously stood, at price points 30–50% below comparable market properties. The episode also touches on the role of AI in streamlining permitting, the lingering impact of the LA wildfires on housing policy, and Jon's ambitious plan to build 500–1,000 homes in the Los Angeles basin over the next three to four years. In this episode, Darius and Jon will discuss: (00:00) Introduction and Recap of Part One (02:53) The Future of Housing and Home Ownership (05:47) Transitioning from Lending to Development (08:12) The Challenges of Affordability in Housing (11:16) California's New Housing Law: SB 1123 (13:50) Understanding the Housing Shortage Crisis (16:50) The Transformative Impact of SB 1123 (19:37) Navigating the Development Process (22:00) The Realities of Building in California (25:21) Challenges in Real Estate Development (29:43) Streamlining the Entitlement Process (32:29) The Impact of SB 1123 on Development (36:59) Addressing California's Housing Shortage (42:30) Creating Affordable Housing Solutions Jon Irvine is the Founder and CEO of Westcove Development, a Southern California real estate development firm specializing in design-forward, small-lot single family homes in high-demand, supply-constrained markets.

Today's adventure felt more like mountaineering than trail running as I tackled the steep Irvine Trail in the summer heat, with plenty of climbing, hydration breaks, and a few scenic pauses along the way. A missing Golden Retriever named Murphy became the unexpected storyline of the morning, as I could hear the owner's increasingly desperate calls echoing through the forest long after we'd parted. The tough terrain pushed me into Zones 5 and 6, but months of cross-training are clearly paying off, leaving me feeling stronger and more capable than I have in a long time. Along the climb I reflected on scaling back my podcasting plans, my annual alcohol-free August, and the importance of looking after both body and mind as the years go by. Reaching the upper slopes near the antenna, I chose the South Ridge descent, finishing another satisfying midweek adventure with the camera full of photos and my calorie goal well within reach.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-running-jackal--500980/support.

In this episode of youngadults.today, Josiah and Micah sit down with Pastor Tori Farina, founder of Rev Fresh and creator of the new RevStream cohort, to talk about the real financial pressure pastors are facing in 2026—and how ethical, well-designed side hustles can help close the gap without compromising the call. Tori shares the powerful story behind Rev Fresh (think: Make-A-Wish for pastors), how a three–week stay in a $4M beachfront home changed his family's life, and why he now spends his energy refreshing ministry leaders with sabbaticals, medical crisis support, and financial help. You'll hear honest conversation about pastor compensation, side hustles, conflict of interest, family rhythms, and calling—plus practical side hustle ideas and a sneak peek into the RevStream beta cohort that will help pastors earn about $866/month in roughly 10 hours a week. If you're a pastor, young adult in ministry, or someone who wants to bless spiritual leaders, this conversation will stretch your thinking and give you concrete next steps.

What if the fight you keep having with your spouse isn't really about dishes, money, or who said what last Tuesday? What if the two of you aren't even fighting each other at all?In this solo episode, Todd Creager — licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and relationship coach with over 30 years of experience working with couples — walks you through a framework he uses with couples every day: the three internal parts that show up in virtually every relationship conflict. Once you can see them, the whole fight starts to make sense.Todd breaks down the Firefighter — the part that attacks, raises its voice, and catalogues every grievance from the last six months. It looks strong, but it's actually operating from fear. Then there's the Manager — the part that goes quiet, pulls back, or tries to smooth everything over. From the outside it looks calm, but inside it's just trying to survive the moment. Underneath both of those protective parts lives what Todd calls the wounded or exiled part — the younger, more vulnerable self that feels unseen, unimportant, unsafe, or like it doesn't belong.Todd shares a real couple he's working with right now: a wife who grew up in a loud household where no one really listened, and a husband who was told as a child he should never have been born. Their fights look like her escalating and him withdrawing — but what's really happening is two wounded parts trying desperately to protect themselves. As Todd puts it, their protective parts are actually making things worse for each other, even when that's the last thing either of them wants.The shift happens when couples stop seeing each other as enemies and start recognizing the parts driving the conflict. That awareness — paired with compassion for your own internal experience — is what makes real repair possible.If you and your partner keep getting stuck in the same cycles, this episode gives you a clear, honest way to look at what's actually going on beneath the surface.Todd works with couples navigating communication breakdowns, intimacy issues, infidelity recovery, and long-standing patterns that feel impossible to move through.

Fear is a reality we never outgrow. From the smallest child to the mature adult, fear lurks around every corner, percolating endlessly in the back of our minds. Left to itself, our imaginations map out worst-case scenarios for our health, our finances, our family, and future. When fear takes the driver's seat, hope and joy shrink. This is why there are few psalms that are as treasured and beloved as Psalm 121. The words, "I lift up my eyes towards the mountains, where does my help come from?" echos in every human heart. Join us this Sunday as we look to the One who walks with us and protects us in our going and coming.

In this first installment of a two-part conversation, host Darius Mirshahzadeh reconnects with longtime friend and industry veteran Jon Irvine, founder and CEO of Westcove Development. The two pick up where they left off after years apart, a reunion sparked when Jon accidentally discovered Darius's podcast while stuck in LA traffic. What follows is a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation covering Jon's biracial upbringing, his accidental entry into mortgage finance, a landmark $1.3 billion sale to Merrill Lynch 90 days before the 2008 financial crisis, the personal losses that forced him to rethink his legacy, and the unexpected signs that led him to launch a real estate development company.

Nalika Gajaweera (Research Affiliate, Walter H. Capps Center, University of California, Santa Barbara; PhD, Anthropology, University of California, Irvine, 2013) is an anthropologist of Buddhism, race, and ethics, with a focus on community well-being and resilience. Her current book manuscript, Transforming the American Sangha, funded by the Kataly Foundation, is an ethnography of the Insight Meditation movement in North America, focused on the efforts of practitioners of color to raise awareness of oppressive racial conditions in these communities. Her doctoral research examined how Buddhist ethics and practices of giving shaped Sri Lankan local NGOs doing humanitarianism work in the context of two disasters: the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 and ethnic conflict that ended in 2009. A former Fulbright fellow, Dr. Gajaweera has conducted fieldwork in North America and South Asia, managing and conducting complex multi-stakeholder research projects, exploring power building efforts among marginalized groups. Funders for these projects included Kataly Foundation, John Templeton Foundation, Hilton Foundation and GHR. Nalika Gajawira will collaborate with Ann Gleig on a comparative ethnographic study of how Buddhist communities adopt and adapt popular spiritual exercises such as "secular" mindfulness and yoga classes within a wider Buddhist framework. Their work aims to illustrate the processes, frameworks and relationships that can enable more responsible relationships between specific religious communities and the word of spiritual wellness practices.

In this episode, we break down a troubling new security trend hitting the master-planned communities of Southern California. On June 30, 2026, authorities in Irvine executed a series of coordinated arrests, taking down six individuals—including four juveniles—tied to a predatory "burglary tourism" operation. We look at the chilling logistics of how foreign and domestic organized crews are systematically scouting affluent American neighborhoods, treating safe suburbs like soft targets, and what you need to do to harden your perimeter.

What if the thing you've been doing to fix your relationship is actually what's keeping it stuck?Most couples hit a wall. You've read the books, planned the date nights, promised to listen better — and somehow you're still in the same spot. More exhausted, more frustrated, and further apart than before. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.In this solo episode, Todd Creager — licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years working with couples — explains why trying harder rarely works, and what's actually happening beneath the surface when your best efforts fall flat.Todd introduces a way of thinking that goes deeper than most couples therapy advice: the idea that we're made up of different parts — and that the real reason relationships stall isn't lack of effort. It's that one part of you is trying to fix things while another part — a wounded, scared, or quietly resentful part — isn't on board. No amount of willpower gets through to that part.He walks through a real couple he's currently working with: a woman who never felt seen as a child and erupts when her husband gets defensive, and a husband who grew up with an aggressive father and shuts down the moment conflict starts. Neither is the villain. Both are being driven by protective parts that took shape long before they ever met.What they're learning — and what Todd wants you to take away — is the difference between a protective relationship and a self-led relationship. A self-led relationship doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from getting curious about the parts of you that keep showing up in the same painful patterns, and learning to lead from a place of clarity, compassion, and genuine connection.This episode won't hand you a quick fix. It will give you a different way of seeing yourself, your partner, and the cycle you keep getting stuck in — and that shift is where real change in a relationship actually begins.If you're in a long-term relationship and feel like you've tried everything, start here.Subscribe to Todd's podcast for honest, practical guidance on the relationship challenges that matter most.

·       Today, we are joined by the incomparable Dr. Kerry Burnight, a leading gerontologist and author of the New York Times bestselling book, Joy Span: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. We delve into the nuanced journey of aging, exploring the intersection of growth, connection, adaptation, and the power of giving.

By unpacking her research-backed strategies, she encourages listeners to embrace the aging process, shifting the narrative from fear to empowerment. With a candid discussion on the societal stigmas surrounding age and the anti-aging industry's influence, Dr. Kerry redefines what it means to age gracefully, urging us to invite our future selves into the conversation and celebrate the many benefits that come with age. ·       As we navigate topics such as internalized ageism, the importance of meaningful connections, and the necessity of adapting to life's inevitable changes, Dr. Kerry provides invaluable insights on how to cultivate a life filled with purpose and joy. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that aging is not a decline but a unique opportunity for growth, connection, and legacy. Tune in to discover how to reframe your mindset and embrace the beauty of your journey through life's second half.  

This Sunday we will take a look at the front door of the book of Psalms, Psalm 1. Psalm 1 contrasts two ways to live—the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. One way leads to flourishing and fruitfulness. The other leads to emptiness and judgment. In a world full of competing voices telling us where to find happiness and fulfillment, Psalm 1 points us to where true wisdom and thriving are found. Join us this Sunday as we discover how to live a life that is deeply rooted and spiritually fruitful.

What if the thing getting in the way of your sex life isn't a physical problem — it's a protective one?In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager takes a candid, grounded look at what happens when your inner critic shows up in the bedroom. Whether it sounds like Am I good enough? Is my partner enjoying this? or it shows up as numbness, avoidance, or a total loss of desire — Todd explains that these aren't failures. They're protective responses doing a job.Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), Todd breaks down two types of protective parts that commonly interfere with sexual intimacy. The manager is the critical voice constantly scanning for what could go wrong, trying to protect you from shame, inadequacy, or humiliation. The firefighter is the part that numbs out, dissociates, or finds every possible reason to avoid sex altogether — because if you never show up, you never have to feel exposed.Both are trying to shield you from older wounds: the fear of not being good enough, the memory of embarrassment, or the quiet belief that you're somehow less than. And because desire and the inner critic can't occupy the same space at the same time, understanding what's running interference is the real starting point for change.Todd also introduces EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — as a therapeutic tool that can help people access and process the older memories keeping these protective parts on high alert. When those memories are worked through, the protective parts don't have to work as hard, and your natural desire and arousal have room to return — not through willpower, but through healing.If you've been struggling with performance anxiety, sexual avoidance, or feeling disconnected from your partner in the bedroom, this episode offers a way to approach it with curiosity rather than judgment.Todd reads and responds to every comment.

This Sunday we continue our summer series in the Psalms. We will take one last look at the mysterious mention of the character Melchizedek in Psalm 110:4. Before Psalm 110, Melchizedek has only appeared once in the scriptures, and even that appearance was mysterious (Genesis 14). Melchizedek was the king of Salem, and priest to the most high God (Gen 14:18). For someone so mysterious, why is he so important? How will understanding the mystery of Melchizedek help our faith sing along with Psalm 110?

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (6.23) Tim Conway Jr. opens with the latest on the Boyle Heights fire, then turns to the World Cup — where Team Norway reportedly brought in 600 pounds of fish. Olivia Rodrigo announces an all-women lineup for her Daisy Chain Fields festival in Irvine (and yes, Conway's high school graduation photo somehow ended up on one of her albums). The show pays tribute to legendary music mogul Clive Davis, who died peacefully at his Manhattan home Monday of age-related illness at 94. Known as the "Man with the Golden Ears," Davis launched or revived the careers of superstars including Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, Carlos Santana and Alicia Keys. The best way to celebrate with him? Press plays on the artists he made famous. Plus: France records 40 drownings in five days as an extreme heatwave grips the country. Teens caught dangerously dangling out of a self-driving Waymo car in Santa Monica — and passengers stuck inside one through a construction zone with police following. A second tiny home village brings 50 units to Van Nuys for the homeless (cue the Van Nuys song). And our friend, the amazing singer Juno Wilson, stops by — come fly with me.

This Sunday we begin our summer series in the Psalms. The Psalms hold out such promise for a deep spiritual reflection, yet often when we read them they leave us asking, "What does this even mean?"

Patreon Preview from Blamo! It's Die, Workwear! Derek and Peter take a break from their Wardrobe Series to chat with Matthew Gonzalez, a Southern California native who made his way from an alterations room in Irvine to London, Huntsman, and eventually his own bespoke tailoring business on Savile Row. Matthew's work sits at a fascinating crossroads: classic American style, British tailoring tradition, and the realities of making clothing for people today. The conversation gets into his path through the trade, what makes tailoring feel American without becoming costume, the romance and economics of Savile Row, why bespoke still matters, and how the best clothes are shaped not just by rules, but by the person wearing them. https://www.matthewgonzalez.co.uk ** Listen to the FULL episode on the Blamo!

Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (6.8) Conway kicks off the hour in full World Cup mode as security ramps up ahead of U.S. vs. Paraguay at SoFi Stadium. The crew looks back at one of the most iconic moments in soccer history: Brandi Chastain’s 1999 Women’s World Cup celebration at the Rose Bowl after scoring the winning penalty kick. With the Men’s National Team practicing at the Great Park in Irvine, Orange County soccer fans are getting a front-row seat to World Cup excitement. But while the hype builds, the U.S. is reportedly lagging behind other host cities in hotel bookings. Then the crew dives into how alcohol brands are going all-in on the 2026 World Cup, hoping beer sales and massive marketing campaigns can help reverse industry slumps. Analysts expect global beer consumption to spike during the tournament, making this one of the biggest drinking events in sports. Later, Conway takes on L.A.’s ongoing problems and asks the big question: what’s the fix? If property taxes are high, shouldn’t the services be great? The hour wraps with a warning about the latest fake survey scam, where spoof websites pretend to offer Lowe’s gift cards or toolsets before tricking people into sharing screens or buying gift cards for fake “processing fees.” Trending Keywords: World Cup 2026, SoFi Stadium, U.S. vs Paraguay, Brandi Chastain, Great Park Irvine, Orange County, beer sales, alcohol brands, Los Angeles problems, property taxes, fake survey scam, Lowe’s scam, gift card scam, Conway Show, funny podcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
