Podcast Episode OverviewIn this episode, Mike and Glenn are joined by returning guest Doctor John at a local coffee shop to dive deep into the realities of alcoholism. The conversation provides fantastic advice and information, highlighting John's inspirational passion for both newcomers and old-timers.Core Themes & Discussion PointsThe "ISM" is the Core Issue: John emphasizes that the problem is not alcoholism (the substance), but the ISM (the human condition). It is about the "void" or "hole in the soul" rather than the booze itself.A Spiritual Dis-Ease: John argues this is not a chemical imbalance or a disease in the traditional medical sense, but rather a "thirst for God"—a human yearning for wholeness, centeredness, and peace.Hypersensitivity: Alcoholics are described as "pain augmenters" who are highly sensitive. Alcohol initially served as an effective coping mechanism and brought ease, until it eventually stopped working.Character Defects: These defects were essentially coping skills utilized when the disease was active and untreated.Powerlessness & Affinity: An essential foundation of recovery is accepting one's powerlessness over the condition. It functions less like a physical allergy and more like a profound mental dis-ease and affinity.Actionable Takeaways & PreventionRemoving the Alcohol Isn't Enough: Eliminating booze removes the symptom, but the underlying "ISM" remains. It is a lifelong condition that persists regardless of external life circumstances.Stay Connected: Because the condition is always present, isolation is dangerous. John stresses that while you can be drunk or dry alone, achieving true sobriety requires the support of a community.Active Maintenance: Simple prevention relies on continuous action: staying engaged, attending meetings, and actively focusing on recovery steps.

Ismét ellátogatott hozzánk Késely Ajna, akivel a test és a lélek kapcsolatáról beszélgettünk, ezúttal egy élsportoló szemüvegén keresztül. Ajna a sportban megélte ennek a kapcsolatnak a nehezebb időszakait is, ahogy sok élsportoló, de akár átlagemberként mi is átmehetünk hasonló folyamatokon. A kérdés az, hogyan reagálunk akkor, amikor a testünk vagy a lelkünk gyengül. Tudatosan foglalkozunk vele, dolgozunk rajta, vagy inkább félretesszük, és a szőnyeg alá söpörjük? Ezekről a kérdésekről és Ajna személyes tapasztalatairól beszélgettünk ebben az epizódban. Tartsatok velünk!

Les marchés financiers évoluaient dans un contexte marqué par les tensions persistantes au Moyen-Orient, entraînant une nouvelle hausse des prix du pétrole qui entretien les craintes inflationnistes. En Europe, les indices boursiers reculent légèrement, pénalisés par le ralentissement de l'activité économique et la faiblesse des indicateurs PMI, dans un climat de prudence des investisseurs. L'activité du secteur privé en zone euro s'est contractée en mai au rythme le plus rapide en 18 mois. De son côté Wall Street montrait des signes d'hésitation à court terme sous l'effet des risques géopolitiques et de la remontée des rendements obligataires. L'activité économique aux États-Unis restent solides avec un ISM services en expansion. Et du côté des valeurs ? En tête du CAC40, Air Liquide, qui a signé un contrat à long-terme avec le groupe sud-coréen de semi-conducteurs SK Hynix, pour la fourniture de gaz et d'air comprimé de haute pureté, gagnait 2% en clôture. À l'opposé du palmarès, la valeur Stellantis chutait de 4% et accusait d'un net décrochage de ses ventes sur le marché français.Hébergé par Ausha.

Podcast Summary: The Inside Out of the "ISM"Hosts: Mike & GlennGuest: Dr. JohnIn this episode, Dr. John rejoins Mike and Glenn at the coffee shop to continue their deep dive into alcoholism, sharing pivotal moments from his journey and breaking down the true nature of addiction, connection, and relapse.Redefining the "ISM"Dr. John challenges the traditional view of alcoholism, stating that he was "born scared" and that alcohol itself didn't cause his disease. Instead, he describes alcoholism as an "ISM"—a universal, internal yearning to fill an emotional void.The Universal Void: Humans are the only creatures on Earth who torment themselves trying to fill this emptiness.The Admission Tickets: The "ISM" manifests differently for everyone. There are hundreds of 12-step programs identical to AA; they simply have different "admission tickets" (e.g., alcohol, shopping, eating).Religion vs. Spirituality:"Religion fills the void. Spirituality teaches us to embrace the void." While religion relies on a set of rules, spirituality is about building a strong relationship with something greater. Dr. John doesn't label himself as "happy, joyous, and free"—rather, he views his ISM as God continuously poking his void, reminding him it is a never-ending process.The Power of ConnectionThe core message of the episode is that intellect alone cannot cure addiction. True transformation happens through human-to-human interaction.Wounded Healers: Healing occurs when the wounded heal the wounded. As the famous quote goes: “The opposite of addiction is connection.”The Ultimate Need: Dr. John shares a powerful story about his dog, Samantha, who taught him how to give unconditional love. He concludes that giving love is our only true need, summarizing it as: “You can't keep it if you don't give it away.”Heaven on Earth: For Dr. John, heaven is pouring yourself into someone else. “I don't know what heaven is, but the closest I've come to is when I lose myself in another.”The "We" of AA: Glenn and Dr. John agree that Alcoholics Anonymous works strictly because of the "We." We cannot see our own blind spots without others.The Reality of RelapseThe conversation shifts to a cautionary tale from John, who shared his experience with relapse, proving that "every bottom has a trap door."Dr. John emphasizes that triggers are just excuses—relapse is a calculated choice where a person thinks through the action and does it anyway. He breaks down relapse into three distinct stages: Emotional, Mental, and Physical.The 5 Steps to John's Relapse:Complacency: Becoming bored and complacent.Distraction: Losing focus on recovery.Skipping Meetings: Halting attendance.Loss of Mentorship: His sponsor moved away.Isolation: He stopped connecting with his own sponsees as they drifted.Ultimately, it was his gradual movement away from the program that caused the relapse. Despite this, the hosts emphasize a philosophy of grace: hate the sin, love the sinner.Advice for the Newcomer: The "Karate Kid" MetaphorDr. John offers a grounded, realistic perspective for anyone new to recovery. He reminds them that "AA is not a feel-good program; it is a get-well program." Life is still going to be life, and while medical schools don't teach spirituality, it is readily available in AA as the best therapy on the planet.To close, Dr. John shares a "must-listen" metaphor inspired by The Karate Kid. Just like Daniel Larusso learning martial arts from Mr. Miyagi, a newcomer in recovery must possess three essential qualities:OpennessWillingnessHonestyFinal TakeawayGlenn notes that through this program, there is no situation in life he cannot get through sober. Because alcohol remains "cunning, baffling, and powerful," the episode concludes with a call to move forward into today with confidence, balanced by cautiousness.
Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3RD5fcA This Monday Dividend Cafe reviews a mostly routine market update: after May's strong gains (S&P 500 up over 5% in May and 10.7% YTD), stocks opened lower but finished higher with tech leading and utilities selling off; the 10-year yield ended flat at 4.46%. The episode highlights record household equity allocation, elevated valuations across large and small caps (Russell 2000 up 70% from its 2025 low), and a Goldman index showing concentration/valuation/rally conditions similar to 2021 and 2000. It notes inflation-adjusted IPO fundraising plans from SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic exceeding 300 combined internet IPOs from 1999–2000. Iran's renewed Strait of Hormuz blockade threats lifted oil ~6%, Florida filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, manufacturing ISM rose to 54, rent growth slowed, and futures imply 50% odds of a rate hike with no cuts expected. Friday's episode will feature the host's graduation commencement address. 00:00 Intro 01:23 Market Recap and Valuations 04:51 IPO Mania and Tech Froth 05:42 Geopolitics and Policy Updates 06:50 Labor and Manufacturing Data 08:30 Housing Inflation and Fed Odds 09:44 Energy Oil and Midstream 10:38 Week Ahead and Friday Twist 11:32 Conclusion Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
Kia ora. Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news the scale of Trump's strategic failure with Iran is becoming clearer. Iran holds the key cards, it seems, and there is little but bluster and renewing its military flailing he can do about it. Even Israel seem to be ignoring Trump's potency, which is another signal of regional chaos. Iranian media reported that Tehran had suspended communications with Washington, following the attacks in Lebanon, and will move to fully close the Strait of Hormuz - and open new fronts in their war pushback. We are just going to have to live with the resulting chronic mess. And that probably means elevated inflation for much longer and all that brings with it - like supply chain disruptions and logistic twists. Stockpiling, itself an indication of economic inefficiency, is the current way the global economy is reacting, in turn an inflation enhancer. First today in the US, that stockpiling is showing up in their two May factory PMI reports. The S&P Global version recorded output growth rose to its strongest level since April 2022 as buyers scramble to beat price rises and supply delays. Input costs rose at their fastest rate since mid-2022. Meanwhile the ISM version reported very similar conditions, even if at a slightly lesser level. In Canada, their factory PMI version reported that growth was sustained in May as output, new orders and employment all rose. But like in the US, this is all trying to beat the cost pressures and supply chain challenges that are intensifying. In Japan, their May factory PMI remained unusually strong. But firms there signaled further strong increases in production with sales Input costs and selling prices rising at some of the steepest rates on record. Stock building efforts are still very much in evidence amid the ongoing and substantial supply chain disruptions. In South Korea, their factory upturn, already strong, gathered more pace amid stockpiling efforts. Output rises are their strongest in five years. Price pressures persist and remain near record highs. Meanwhile jobs growth is now at its highest since March 2013 as the outlook improves. Meanwhile Korean exports surged +53% from a year ago to a record US$88 bln for the month. (For perspective, New Zealand exports run at about US$6 bln per month average. Australia is about US$32 bln/mth.) Their biggest increases were to China, although there were outsized export gains to the US. Their explosive growth is largely around their IT sector. In Taiwan, their factory output expanded at quickest rate since July 2021 in May. New orders continue to rise sharply. Firms report intense cost pressures here too, amid severe supply chain disruption. Stockpiling efforts are driving a quicker upturn in purchasing activity, they say. In China, their non-official S&P Global factory PMI was good, but nothing like their smaller neighbours. Growth rates for new orders and output remain good, although export orders fell. Input price inflation eased for first time in six months. They also have stockpiling effects as factories raised input stocks because supplier delivery times stretched out again. Indian industrial production stayed expanding in April and at a good rate, similar to what they have had since July 2025, and showing none of the slowdown analysts had been expecting to see in their data. EU inflation expectations as tracked by the broad ECB survey shows them unchanged at 4.0% in April. Analysts had expected them to rise to 4.3% but that didn't eventuate. The EU factory PMI is still expanding but at quite a modest rate even as they have the same cost pressures everyone else is reporting. In Australia, and in something of a surprise, the Melbourne Institute Monthly Inflation Gauge recorded a -0.3% fall in May from April, after consecutive rises in the previous two months. The fall was primarily influenced by lower transport-related prices, attributable largely to fuel and the excise tax rollback. For the year to May this gauge reports inflation at 4.4%. The monthly cost of living also declined in May from April, particularly for self-funded retirees. The updated Australian PMI shows little real expansion with the steepest fall in new orders since last October being recorded for May. But prices are being pushed up all the same with selling price inflation at a 45-month high as sharp rises in input costs keep coming. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.47%, up +2 bps from this time yesterday. Wall Street has started its week ignoring the Middle East situation with the S&P500 up +0.4% and enough to claim another new record high. The Nasdaq is up +0.7%. Both markets consumed by the big tech IPOs underway. The price of gold will start today down -US$48 at US$4491/oz. Silver is up +50 USc at just under US$75.50/oz. Oil prices are up +US$4 just under US$91.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now on US$94.50/bbl and up +US$3.50. Oil had been starting to trade like Hormuz was open, but no more. The Kiwi dollar is lower from yesterday at this time at 59.5 USc, down -50 bps. Against the Aussie we are also down -50 bps at 82.9 AUc. Against the euro we are down -30 bps at just under 51.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 62.9 which is down -40 bps from yesterday. The bitcoin price starts today at US$71.684 and down -2.5% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just under +/- 2.5%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.
När korsfarare, sultaner och kalifer kämpade om makten i Mellanöstern växte en liten rörelse fram i skuggorna. Från bergsfästet Alamut byggde Hassan ibn Sabbah och hans anhängare ett nätverk av infiltratörer, agenter och lönnmördare som spred skräck genom hela regionen. Deras fiender kallade dem assassiner.I det här avsnittet av Historiepodden följer vi den verkliga historien bakom myten. Om attentat, korståg, propaganda och psykologisk krigföring i en medeltid där ingen kunde känna sig säker – inte ens kungar och sultaner.

Shahadat of Muslim Bin Aqil (AS)May 26th 20269th Dhul Hijjah1447The days of Ḥajj reconnect believers to the legacy of Nabi Ibrāhīm (a), whose life of sacrifice and submission became the foundation of Islamic worship and identity.Nabi Ibrāhīm (a) is mentioned 69 times in the Qur'ān, and an entire chapter is named after him, highlighting his central role in divine history.The journeys of Ibrāhīm (a) from Babylon to Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and finally Makkah reflect a lifelong struggle for tawḥīd and obedience to Allāh.Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all trace their spiritual roots back to Ibrāhīm (a), making him the father of the monotheistic faiths.Islam is described in the Qur'ān as “Millata Abīkum Ibrāhīm” — the religion and path of your father Ibrāhīm — emphasizing complete devotion to Allāh.The du‘ā of Ibrāhīm (a) and Ismā‘īl (a) while raising the Ka‘bah asked Allāh to make their descendants true Muslims, fulfilled ultimately through Prophet Muḥammad (s) and Islam.True Islam means total submission to Allāh in every aspect of life: personal, family, social, political, and financial — preferring divine guidance over personal desire.Ibrāhīm (a) demonstrated uncompromising faith by rejecting idol worship, migrating to preserve religion, leaving his family in the barren desert of Makkah, and preparing to sacrifice his son solely for Allāh's pleasure.Muslim bin ‘Aqīl stands as a living example of true īmān and Islam: unwavering belief in Allāh, Rasulullāh, and the Ahlul Bayt (a), combined with sacrifice in the path of truth.Imam Ḥusayn (a) called Muslim bin ‘Aqīl “my brother, cousin, and trusted one from my family,” showing the immense trust and status he held in the mission of Karbalā'.Thousands in Kūfa initially pledged allegiance to Imam Ḥusayn (a) through Muslim bin ‘Aqīl, but fear and political pressure from Ibn Ziyād caused the people to abandon him one by one.Muslim bin ‘Aqīl's loneliness reached its peak when hundreds who marched with him disappeared by Maghrib, leaving him completely alone after ṣalāh.In the neighborhood of Kindah, exhausted and betrayed, Muslim sought refuge at the home of Ṭaw‘ah, where he confessed: “The people deceived and abandoned me.”Even in captivity, Muslim's final concerns were fulfilling debts, receiving burial, and warning Imam Ḥusayn (a) not to come to Kūfa — showing responsibility, loyalty, and sincerity until his last breath.The tragedy of Muslim bin ‘Aqīl — denied water, martyred on the roof of Dār al-Imārah, and his body dishonored afterward — foreshadows the suffering of Imam Ḥusayn (a) and the thirst of Sakīnah (a) in Karbalā'.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Podcast Summary: Sober.Coffee Episode #268Title: The Foundation of Recovery: A Tribute to Dr. JohnGuests: Dr. John (Rebroadcast from October 2022)Hosts: Mike and GlennEpisode OverviewIn this moving rebroadcast, Mike and Glenn return to a deep and revealing conversation with the late Dr. John, a trained physician and recovery doctor who dedicated his life to absolute service. With no agenda other than helping others achieve sobriety, Dr. John joins the "Sober Coffee Shop" to deconstruct Step 1 of Alcoholics Anonymous and explain why a "perfect" understanding of this foundation is the difference between life and death.The "Why" vs. The SolutionDr. John provides a clinical yet spiritual perspective on the disease, noting that "treatment can only be as effective as your diagnosis is accurate." While many therapies focus on symptom relief and analyzing the problem, Dr. John argues that AA is the "best therapy on the planet" because it focuses entirely on the solution.Insight isn't enough: John famously notes that "insight and $5 will get you simply a cup of coffee."The Difference: AA taught John that feeling better and getting well are two entirely different things.The "Screwed" Reality of Step 1The team discusses the staggering statistics of recovery: while millions suffer, many who enter AA leave and never return. Dr. John suggests that those who fail often fail because they do not thoroughly follow the path or fully grasp the weight of Step 1.The Diagnosis: Step 1 means you are "screwed." Alcoholism is a terminal illness—a "malignant soul."Powerlessness: It isn't just about the drink; it's about the "ISM." Even with the "plug in the jug," the alcoholic still "ticks" the way they do because they have Alcoholism, not "Alcohol-wasm."The "Get Well" ProgramReflecting on his first year of sobriety, Dr. John confesses he almost left because he wasn't feeling the "joy" others described. An old-timer gave him the perspective that changed his life: "This is not a feel-good program; this is a get-well program."John emphasizes that humans are poor judges of their own progress. If you are doing the work—attending meetings, calling a sponsor, and praying—you are likely doing well, regardless of how you "feel" in the moment.Dr. John's "Nuggets" for RecoveryDr. John leaves listeners with a powerful framework for a lasting transformation:AA is not a "feel-good" program: It is designed to save your life, not provide instant comfort.Alcoholism, not Alcohol-wasm: The disease remains active even when you are dry.Get Well, not Get Good: It's about healing a diseased soul, not just "behaving" better.Dry vs. Sober: You can keep yourself dry alone, but it takes the program and fellowship to get sober.Transformation vs. Reformation: Recovery is a total internal shift found through the 12 steps and helping others."Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path." Dr. John's takeaway: Maybe never has a person failed who truly follows the path. The principles are perfect; the people are not. Keep working the work.
In dieser dieser Folge von "ISM Perspectives on…" sprechen wir mit der Forscherin Mari Trompke vom Center for Leadership & People Management (LMU) und wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der ISM über Vertrauen als zentrales Element der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Mensch und KI im medizinischen Feld. Neben ihrem eigenen Forschungsprojekt werden dabei konkrete Anwendungsfelder im Alltag von Ärzt*innen sowie kritische Phänomene wie Automation Bias und Algorithm Aversion diskutiert. Was geschieht, wenn Ärzt*innen unter Zeitdruck zwischen eigener Intuition und KI-Empfehlung abwägen müssen? Und warum bleibt die Verantwortung im Falle von Fehlentscheidungen meist beim Menschen hängen? Um all diese Fragen und die Suche nach der richtigen Balance bei der Human-AI Collaboration im Gesundheitswesen soll es dieser Episode gehen.

I'm Holly Wainwright and the first thing I'm going to do, the first order of business, very simple out louder is if you love your show, please vote for us in the upcoming Australian Audio Awards as a People's Choice category. It's really straightforward. We're going to put a link in the show notes, We're probably going to put it on social We're going to put it everywhere. We would love your support to help us get there. That is the end of my manifesto for the day. Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I just would like to say as a lazy girl that there are all these things to fill out. Speaker 3: You only have to fill us out. Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have to do everything is just tick Mama Mia out Loud. Speaker 3: So important for the lazy girls out there, and as as a bossy girl, I just concur with Holly. I know you can make that ask of people, and I think that's a great step towards greet our self assertive. Speaker 1: I'm growing, I'm growing, Amelia Growing. I'm Amelia Lester and I'm Claire Stephen and here's what's made our agenda for today. So now that it's all over and many damning text messages scatter the ruins of what was the biggest celebrity story for a couple of years, Just who did win in the whole? Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni court case drama. Speaker 3: Plus Cameron Diaz is a mother again at fifty three, and Holly has some thoughts. Speaker 2: And veteran broadcaster James Valentine filmed the last year of his life for the ABC, and between a living wake and his openness around voluntary assisted dying, he's opened a conversation around what it means to die a good death. Speaker 1: But first, Amelia Lester, the Mecgala. Speaker 3: Did it feel different this year? A lot of people said that it did. Amy Odell, a fashion writer, wrote in her background newsletter that the Metgala was all money, no soul, and she wasn't alone in this criticism. Basically, people are saying that because Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos sponsored the event, it just started to feel a little craven, a little gross, and less fun than it used to be. So there were a lot of protests in New York. In the lead up to the event, they were all centered around Amazon's labor practices, its environmental damage. And then there are those who say, no, that's not true. The mech color's always been about rich people giving their money towards a good cause, which is the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute. And look, they did raise a lot of money on Monday night. The Bezos has bought the event for about ten million dollars, but then the event itself raised about forty one million. This is US dollars, which is a lot for this event. It's apparently kind of record breaking. So are we just complaining about nothing, Holly? Do you feel like celebrities stayed away? Did they agree that this was a sort of off event this year? Speaker 1: So I'm going to give you a list of the celebrities who people say boycotted, because none of the people so far who everyone is saying has boycott had actually verbalized that they were boycott. Speaker 3: Well, we are boycotted, which we just had to take a stand because. Speaker 1: I do feel a little bit like what soul when you said it's all money those salt like, I do feel a bit that I don't think this is the first year. It has been pointed out in the culture, particularly since trump Ism and all those things, that this feels very hunger games. Yes, yes, and I know although there's a more direct link here, you know, with the Bezos is buying it. I do feel like Jeff sort of bought it for Lauren as a gift, which is a nice gift. Nice, but it feels more avert. So anyway, let's look at this because when I was watching it on Tuesday and then I did a subscriber episode with me as straight afterwards, I was like, well, all the celebrities are there, like Beyonce's there. All the famous people I was expecting to be there were there. Speaker 2: Well, actually a lot of famous feom we didn't expect to be there were there. Speaker 1: Yeah. And then it was pointed out to me who was not Billie Eilish. Now that tracks because she doesn't like billionaires, and she remembers she gave a speech a while ago where she said, you lot give more of your money away. So I don't think she would have been either welcome or willing to go, because Jeff might have worried that she was going to shake him down in the bathroom to share more of his money. Zoe Saldana, she is somebody who is usually there. She was not there. She is almost as rich as the billionaires. She is an unbelievably well paid actress because of her Marvel and Avatar connections. So Zoe's at home count of dollars. Olivia Rodrigo that tracks too. She is political, That would not be surprising. She's in the middle of an album promo, so you might have usually expected her to be there. Lady Gaga an interesting one because she could have been expected to be there because she's in The Devil Wears prior of Too and the rest of the Well. Meryl wasn't there, but Meryl never goes, so that's not surprising. But Anne Hath the way Emily Blunt Stanley Tucci were all there. Speaker 2: Stanley Tucci with Emily blount sister, it's always fun. Speaker 1: So maybe Gaga, but also she's kind of said lately that she's going to focus on promoting things she wants to promote rather than just being around. Lewis Hamilton come on, like he's literally dating Kim Kardashian, who's extremely bezos adjacent. I don't think that was a political. Speaker 3: Let's get to the big guns. Some were missing, right, some who we might have realized. Sarah Jessica Parker. Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Sarah Jessica I reckon. That is probably I would say that's almost definitely a boycott. But she went to support Anna at a dinner, but she didn't. Speaker 3: Go to the There was a dinner on the weekend before the gala. It probably would have been more fun. Speaker 1: Anyways, she said anything, No, she hasn't, but she I think she was in support of the New New York mayor. Right, And obviously he didn't go, but then I wouldn't have expected him to go, and he did post about it. They posted a series of let's sell a the real heroes of fashion and you know, celebrated workers behind the scenes and particular designers and things. So yes, so Sarah Jessica Parker I reckon could be a boycott. But then they're saying, you know, j Lo, I don't think Jalo was boycotting. I just think she's tired. Speaker 3: Harry Styles. Speaker 1: Harry Styles is in the middle of record of rehearsing for his tour. He's in a studio in bethnal Green running through it. Not that I've been stalking him. Justin Bieber, he's just done Coachella. Boy needs to lie down. Miley Taylor Swift, she never goes, and I don't think she's so. I think that some of the boycott cots are not boy I. Speaker 3: Think that's right. But it's interesting that some of the tech billionaires it clearly got to them a little bit. So it's interesting that Jeff did not walk the red carpet with Lauren. That's very unusual. They do everything together. We've learned this from various pieces about them and Lauren's dress being very boring. Do we think that was intentional. Speaker 1: A little bit understated for Lauren, Yeah, but I think it was had a very specific art reference. It was the same dress as someone called Madame X and it's like scandalous women. Speaker 3: Yep. It's interesting though, because Jeff did walk the carpet in twenty thirteen when Amazon sponsored the event. There was no outrage back then when Amazon sponsored the event and he walked with Mackenzie then Mackenzie Bezos his wife at the time. Mark Zuckerberg also made his Met Gala debut with his wife, Priscilla Chan, and they also didn't walk the red carpet, which I thought was interesting because it's kind of like, well, you want to be at the glamorous event, but you don't want the attention of being there. Speaker 1: Do you think they might have been encouraged not to. Speaker 3: I don't think anyone encourages Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos to do anything would have worked exactly. But there were some tech willionaires who did walk the carpet. Google founder Sergei Brinn. He showed up on the red carpet with his girlfriend. Her name is Gaylyn Gilbert Soto. The New York Times describes her as a con conservative gut health influencer. Speaker 1: That is one of the six job title Claire. Speaker 3: Do you think that there's something inherently conservative about gut health? Speaker 2: Yeah, because gut health is very don't take antibiotics and don't take antibiotics is very That's what it's. Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, which used to be a sort of crunchy hippie vibe, but these days has come back around it. Speaker 3: I thought it was just you know, drink your com your chart, but no, it means it can. Speaker 2: Be very I feel like there's it's a short road from like gut health gut health to to anti vacs. Don't ever give your children antibiotics with my sour crow. Speaker 3: And of course I'm AROUNDA was there. I just have to add she was there with Snapchat founder Evanstein on the carpet, of course. Speaker 1: Possibly the biggest gun that I haven't mentioned though, is Zendaya. She does always go. Usually she didn't go, and that read like a boycott. And some people are saying, if your boycotting, say you're boycotting. I don't think so necessarily. You don't want to necessarily make everything about your politics. But I just have one question. I think that big charity galas of all types have always been, have always reflected the moment therein and they've always been a path to accessing status in a particular society. Watch the Gilded Age, It's all about that. Speaker 3: And Nixon notably said that she thought it was great that the mayor didn't go. Speaker 1: Yes, but like you know, you're reflecting the time. So you're going a big gala ball is the way you get all the fancy people together. This being a tech bro billionaire ball is very reflective of the moment we're living in, right, So is it surprising in any way in the nineteen eighties New York society. It was all about glitz and flash and Donald Trump, and now we're like again, I don't know. I kind of feel like, what did we expect to happen? Speaker 3: No, that's right, But I think that the group that people are most angry at it's not the people who went in their pretty dresses. It's not the people who didn't go and stay quiet about it. It's the people who went but then tried to have their cake and eat it too. See. Speaker 2: I'm not as frustrated about this because Sarah Paulson is getting a hole at a crap because she wore a dress that then and then had a blindfold that was a dollar bill, and it was people like it's making a statement about about like eating the rich. Speaker 3: Well, she herself said that it was a statement about the one. Speaker 2: Besides yes, and and I thought that was like a far swing. But the dress is actually called like the one percent by the artist, the designer who designed it, and the mask was called blinded by Money, and it was a statement on greed and corruption that comes with extreme power. I think it's a little bit unfair to look at her and say, well, you've got a net worth of twelve million dollars at which how does anyone calculate anyone's net worth on the internet? But you have a net worth of that you're at this event, how dare you then make a protest when it's like, well, isn't that exactly how how you do it? Speaker 3: Don't you go in? And well, people do have a history of using that platform. So Alexandra Ocazio Cortez, who is a Democratic congresswoman from New York, famously wore a dress on the Megala red carpet a couple of years ago which said tax the rich. But people actually have the same criticism for her. To your point, Holly, the met Gala in some corners has always been seen as a kind of repulsive show of excess and decadence, and she got a lot of aoc got a lot of flak for even attending the event back then, reading the canapasey while saying. Speaker 1: You guys are discussing while Charlie free directions. Speaker 2: But if you're not there, you don't have a microphone to say anything about the event, do you know? Well, I guess you do. I guess like Vende could opposed to something on Instagram. Speaker 3: If you want Zendaya not going definitely took the air out of the room when that announcement came out, And I guess it wasn't an announcement so much as a news update. Everyone kind of went, that's big. When Zendeia's not there, it's big. Speaker 2: Because she's always one of the coolest on the carpet. Does something really original, remember that, like bloody light up dress and she. Speaker 3: Oh, but there was a bathroom selfie. Some things always stay the same, right, and you saw this by Yes, it's always an iconic bathroom selfie. It's always the thing you want to look for. And there was an amazing one that had you know, the Margo Robbie all the people in it. But one of the things that was most striking about that And so I saw that in the wild last night and I was like, why is there an exceptionally beautiful woman in the middle of that who is wearing a quarter zip sweatshirt? I was like, was she at that party? Speaker 1: And then it's having a lot of headlines today because she is actually a very famous model. Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually love the story behind this. Her name is Bavitha Mandava and she that what she wore was a quarterzip jumper essentially and what looked like jeans. It turns out they weren't just any jeans. The jeans were made with silk muslin and had a blue denim effect. My jeans today have a blue denim effect. And it's a very important iconic look because she opened Chanell's show in December, which was on the New York City Subway, wearing essentially that outfit, and the fashion world lost their mind. That show was like considered extremely groundbreaking, and she was the first Indian model to open a Chanel show and she is now the first South Asian ambassador for Chanel. And incidentally, did you notice that Margot Robbie, who was also Chanel ambassador, It was right next to her in that photo. So Chanell must have been just so happy about the whole thing. Speaker 1: I know, but it just she just looked so out of place. Speaker 3: But that's what made it so good. Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was like wandered into the shop. But she also read all about it and I was amazing. Yet she didn't have to have a bubble machine boobs. Speaker 3: And then that look that she wore on the Chanel catwalk was actually a nod in turn to how she was discovered. I love this so much. She was a grad student m YU and she was discovered on the New York City subway waiting for a train. One would imagine probably wearing a similar outfit to the one she is now wearing in a much more fabulous incarnation at the metgala. Speaker 1: But you were obsessed with another red carpet walk. Speaker 2: Yes, because I am a basic bitch. If, like I swear, if there was like a thermometer for like, what's what does the basic bitch think about anything that's happening in the world right now? It comes over me and it's like bing bing bing bing bing because I saw the red carpet photos of Hugh Jackman in Suton Foster and I think I was sitting opposite you and Holly and I. Speaker 3: Said, oh oh, was like I don't and I'm like, howm my. Speaker 1: Here has it been? Speaker 3: Now? Not that many at least well he was. Speaker 2: Hugh Jackman was on the Red carpet with Debory Furnace in twenty twenty three. Speaker 3: My group chats are very divided on this. Some love the two of them together and some are talking about deb Prowley. Speaker 1: Do you have to not debut your relationship after a divorce five years, ten years? What do we want? Speaker 2: There are no rules, but I am allowed to go oh poor deb Oh, no, I hate that I am allowed. And then the tabloids, because again I'm a basic bitch. The tabloids were like, hey, basic bitches, We've made up a story for you. So there are sources in Inverata commas who say that Debrale Furnace was a huge fan of the event and the decision to bring Sutton Foster was a final blow to deb And what I didn't realize when I went really deep on this was some Foster's wearing a ring, like they think that you proposed in January and they think they're going to have some trend in your wedding. Speaker 1: And is that all are not allowed? He's not allowed to marry again, not ever, not ever. Speaker 3: I I don't know about that. Speaker 1: How do you know that, Deborah Lee Furness. This is what I don't like about this narrative is it victimizes a woman who maybe is totally done with that, you know what I mean. She obviously she made up some statements that made it clear she was not happy when that relationship broke down, But again three years ago, so now she might be living her absolute best life. Thank god I don't have to go to the met gala with that guy. Speaker 3: She disagrees politically too. We don't know anything about it, like she was kind of famously a conservative political voice because he is the godparent of Rupert Murdock and Wendy Dang's children. Also, he's very close with Avanka Trump. So no one was surprised to see Hugh at the slightly maga codd metgala. Speaker 1: Oh wow, he's unfair, And I know no one's crying for the celebrities, but I think it's unfair to brand everybody who was at that red carpet as maga. Speaker 3: Co Oh no, no, no, I did too, But I just I'm saying that he's not exactly Alexandra Orcasio Cortez. No one would be expecting him to make a big political statement about the taxing the rich. No, he's very like to promote. Speaker 1: In a moment, what the heck was all that Baldoni Lively business about? If we've both basically ended with nobody winning and no money changing hands. So moments before one Blake Lively swept onto the met gala carpet looking a bit like Cinderella, very trademark minus the bluebird. She didn't happen. She always said exactly body, She's pretty good all that stuff. But moments before that, a statement dropped into the inboxes of major press outlets, including People, New York Times and so on, and it read the end product the movie. It ends with Us is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life. And with no context, Everyone's like, why are we reading this? Raising awareness and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors and all survivors is a goal that we stand behind. It becomes clear this is a joint statement from Blake Lively's team and Justin Baldoni's team about the court case we've all been obsessed about for years. We acknowledge the process, presented challenges, did it. Speaker 3: Recollections and recognized concerns raised by mes Lively deserved to be heard. Speaker 1: We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments. This is one of those statements that so many lawyers were involved in drafting that it. Speaker 3: I hate an unproductive environment and I'm with that. Speaker 1: That's fair. It is our sincere hope that this statement brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online. And in the hope of moving forward constructively and in peace, Blake goes to the met gal Yeah, yep. Now we'll get to whether or not they got their respectful environment online, But just a very quick catch up, because we would be here for a year if we went into all the ins and outs of what's been going on here. But it all started when Blake Lively. Do I need to explain who she is? Significant star actress, possessor of wonderful hair, one half of a very powerful Hollywood power couple, made a movie called It Ends with Us, based on one of the best selling books in the past decade by Colleen Hoover. Speaker 2: And you guys are weird about it because I said this morning that it's objectively one of the worst movies I've ever seen. And you guys, it's fine. You guys were so mad well. I didn't stop you so mad well. Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to that in a minute. The thing is is that making a movie based on one of the best selling books of the decade is smart business and lots of people wanted to do it. But the man who owned the rights was Justin Baldoni, who's a lesser known dude. He's an actor, producer, self proclaimed feminist. Done. Some Ted talks about it. Speaker 3: Everything I know about this man I've learned against my will exactly done. Speaker 1: Some Ted talks about it podcast with Liz Plank something something something. Anyway, the movie itself is about domestic balance. That is not a mystery or a surprise at his front and center in the plot. The movie got made, and the movie was a huge hit, proving Claire Stephens wrong. Speaker 3: All I need to say. Speaker 1: Against the modest production budget of twenty five million, it grossed around three hundred and fifty one million dollars. Huge movie, right, But before the hit part happened, obviously, it was obvious that things were for apart. Behind the scenes, everything had gone very very wrong. We're not going to take you through because again I know Klas Stevens has a PowerPoint on this somewhere. You It went very deep at the time. You were a great source of it. Speaker 3: It was great. A lot of this was going down. Speaker 2: I think maybe just as I submitted my books, and my reward to myself was finish your book and you can read all the legal poculars. Speaker 1: Yes, and there was this press tour that was like separate red carpets and warring factions and all this stuff. And then in December twenty twenty four, Lively sued Baldoni, accusing him of harassment, sexual misconduct, and a smear campaign on the set of their movie. She claimed that Baldoni conspired with publicists to preemptively destroy her reputation, hence the dodgy press tour after she privately accused him of sexually harassing her on the movie set. There were a lot of damning texts released, all hell broke loose. Then Baldoni countersued. He basically alleged that Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds always wanted to take over this movie, the control of the script, to the edit, all the things that they had it in for him, and they used their very famous friends to intimidate and harass him. Speaker 3: I'll never forget the email that when unanswered, that she sent to Matt Damon. Speaker 1: Oh, I know. There were a lot of damning texts revealed. Speaker 2: Again, sorry, the one to Ben Affleck where she like, oh, she just made an awkward joke about how she had sent the email to Matt Damon and how great Matt Damon was, and I was like, honey, that's like Ben Affleck's biggest point of in security is comparing himself to Matt Damon and you don't know the idiots and your correspondence with Ben. Speaker 1: And so here we are suddenly, just weeks before this mess was all going to go to court, all these cases have been it. Speaker 3: Hadn't even gone to court. Speaker 1: No, some things had been dropped dropped. So first of all, Baldoni's case against Lively got dropped, and some elements of Lively's case against him got like so there was all that was stuff, but it was it was meant to go to court I think on May eighteen, so soon. Wow, And days before it's been disappeared. Lawyers have made millions, reputations have been trashed and nobody apparently no money exchanged hands between the two parties, and no one, as you as evidenced by that really confusing press release, nobody is saying that they've won or not. Claire does the fact that Blake Lively stepped onto the met Gala carpet the minute that happened signaled that she sees this as victory or that she'd liked to pretend the whole thing didn't happen, And how the hell does she move forward? Speaker 3: Yeah, Claire, what does that mean that she shot up at the Metgala? Speaker 1: One? Speaker 2: I think it's genius. I always think that the best publicity in response to this stuff is to be around and change the narrative, like changing a different direction. Celebrities are so clever that it is no coincidence that this statement came out when it did and that then she was on a red carpet, because you just you know that there's so much going on in the world. People are going to be all the celebrity reporters are going to be distracted, just like the zones. Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And. Speaker 2: It's the same reason it always happens. When I was editor in chief, the local Australian celebrities would always announce their breakup at like five pm on a Friday, and it's like, you know. Speaker 3: The journals have gone to drinks or boxing day. Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, we've gone to drinks, you know that West Skeleton stuff on the weekends. Speaker 3: We're not going to go as hard on this story. Speaker 2: So I think it was smart that it was released when it was, and it was smart that she turned up at the met gala and that she reminded everyone I look really good in address. Speaker 1: You to figure but disagree because what immediately happened the minute she opened her mouth. Speaker 2: Well, this is what's interesting that depending on your algorithm, and depending on what side of the Internet you're on, there are two very different stories. So on certain apps, the story I'm saying is this was a win for Blake Lively that, for example, the line at the end of that statement including a respectful environment online, that that was very much acknowledging what had happened to her, which was all the allegations about manufactur orchestrated campaign. Speaker 1: Because that is the thing that I will take away from this mess the most, is that seeing the messages between Baldoni's press people and him about ways that you can use and manipulate social media to dent somebody's reputation is not just like when you see suddenly start seeing everywhere lots of tiktoks around of like, look at this interview with this person, doesn't she come across a bit like this but there can be a lot more behind it. And this is also things that we pointed out about amber Hood joining the amber Hood Johnny deppcayse that there can be a really orchestrated dark arts going on there, and certainly the examples that were pinging back and forward between Justin Baldoni and his reps suggested that I knew that. Speaker 2: Yeah, And so there's there's a lot of arguments that that line in particular is about what she went through, because she really has been torn apart on the internet. However, I couldn't believe that she turns up at the met Gala. She there's she clearly you could actually tell from her speaking when she was interviewed that she was nervous, that she was trying, like, I can't put my foot in it. Speaker 3: I can't like that. Speaker 2: There have been viral interviews of her for a couple of years now all over the Internet of her just saying slightly the wrong thing in an interview, and it becomes that she's an awful person. Blake Lively did an interview on the met Gala red carpet and it has been analyzed to death, and people think she was rude to the interviewer in this instance, well, you look gorgeous. Speaker 4: I am wearing Jackson weederhot gorgeous, thank you beautiful hair. She yeah, you look studying. And this is archival versace, but they met a fid it by adding a big beautiful train. So it's a piece from two thousand and six. And it was just such an honor to be able to wear this gorgeous, gorgeous gown. It looks like a sunrise and a sunset and watercolor and gorgeous range shworts, jewelry. But this this, but these, this is a Judith leberbag. And we were trying to find a piece of famous iconic art to put on and make it look like it was in a frame. And then I said, would you actually, if you're gonna make it custom, would you do my kid's art? So my kids each painted a painting, a watercolor painting. So each of my four kids did this. Speaker 1: That is so spoo especial. Speaker 4: So I have them with me. Speaker 2: And that has been interpreted as her being a bit, as her being dismissive, as her being self scentered. The other thing that's been I think we want to know what this is. Speaker 1: So here's my challenge to your strategy, be public, give them things to talk about, because she can't get away from this narrative now for some time, it's been years of her lit like every time she opens her mouth. There's a lot of people invested in you're a terrible person, as you say, so they're just going to find ways to say that over and over again. In the way that the Internet is now very invested in hating Blake Lively a certain so, just in the way that the internet's very invested in hating Megan Markele. It doesn't matter what she does, what she says, where she goes. You can't win that game. Speaker 2: One of the great arguments was it costs one hundred k for a plate at the Met gala, and part of her claim was the financial stress caused by Baldoni smear campaign. And it's like she's not paying for that one hundred k plate, neither is anyone people being like I thought you were arguing you were locked out of Hollywood. Speaker 3: Doesn't look like you're locked out of Hollywood. Speaker 2: And she had a bag where her interpretation of the art theme was that she got her four kids to draw a picture on each side of the back no self centered, made it about you. Speaker 3: You wanted to. Speaker 2: Claim authorship over this event, So there are people. Speaker 1: This is why I think her best strategy is to go away for a few years. Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think the weird thing is I think if Justin Baldoni had turned up, I think there's something, there's an anonymity that we give men that we just don't give women like I just don't think he is going to be plagued in the same way. And I think it's Marina Hyde who says he'll probably do some low budget it. Speaker 1: Will definitely have dented his possibilities of becoming a big name. I think that because, as Marina Hyde says in that story in The Guardian, she wrote a column about this, saying that the overarching lesson of this whole thing is never ever go to court, never ever ever. And they didn't actually end up in court, but still is that for the rest of time. Their names are now linked, every interview, every pro file, every project they do. This will always be part of the story in a way that it wouldn't if it hadn't entered the courts. But when I say I think go away free, I don't mean disappear like I don't mean silencing women. I mean work on projects, work on producer projects, hustle behind the scenes, do all your hollywoody stuff until you can come back to address this with more nuanced Look at Lena Dunnan. We've been talking about that a lot lately. Famously one of the most hated women on the internet for a period of time, couldn't put a foot right, couldn't do anything right, opened her mouth, everybody jumped on her. We know how the culture treats women who speak out about all kinds of things. There are local examples of this too. In a way. You've got to like let the air out of it and then come back when there's some nuance and distance. Speaker 3: You know what I mean That her while best friend Taylor Swift would have told her that too, because Taylor, of course also famously disappeared and was getting around in large boxes for a while just to stay out of the public eye. That comment of Marina Hides about never go to court is interesting because a few years ago, someone in a professional context did something to me that made me want to take them to court, and so I went to talk to a lawyer about it, who have been recommended to me, and the lawyer heard me out. I was very grateful for the advice she gave me. She said, look, I think you have a strong case, but if you did this, everyone in your field would say that you were a nightmare, no matter what happened in the court case, no matter how right you are, and I do think you're right, it would affect you professionally and it would follow you professionally for the rest of your life. And I think getting that advice from someone who had kind of a monetary gain to taking the case on was something I really appreciated. And I just wonder if Blake Lively's legal advice turned out to be deeply misguided. Speaker 1: I know. The sad thing about this argument I've never taken to court is, of course, that women putting up with sexual harassment at work are just always this guy from ever doing anywhere with it, because you're going to get your character smeared. And it might be on the scale of a Blake Lively, or it might be just the local gossip at the football club, like whatever it is, and that it's like we've seen this play out in massive letters across the sky that watch out, women will get you one way or another, and whether or not Blake Lively is particularly likable, is always nice to everybody? Blah blah blah, isn't the point? Speaker 2: Yeah, it is quite scary for women knowing that if you pursue, which is what an element of what Blake Lively was pursuing, a sexual harassment claim, that all your texts will be looked over and mocked and made fun of. Like, that's a really scary cost to pay. After the break James Valentine and why everyone's talking about the concept of a living wake. On the twenty second of April of this year, cast out musician and author James Valentine died age sixty four, leaving behind his son, his daughter, and his wife. The ABC veteran had terminal cancer, and he was widely loved by his audience, who had been listening to him for three decades. He had been transparent over the last two and a half years about his health. He was a very talented saxophone player and anyone who grew up in the eighties in Australia probably knows him as part of the band The Models and their iconic songs Barbados and Out of Mind, Out of Sight, and he was a Sydney radio presenter. Emilia and Holly, what was your connection to James Valentine as a radio personality? Speaker 3: He was a really important figure in my childhood. He hosted a thing called the Afternoon Show on ABC when back when there were forty TV channels in this country. I remember those days, and he would host and it was cartoons, it was variety. And I never really listened to him on the radio, but I have such you know, in the way that those childhood figures loom large for you. I've always held such fondness and affection for him. And how about you, Hollie. Speaker 1: He's clearly just an incredibly skilled communicator. I mean, I would be lying if I said I listened to that show. But anyone who knows how radio works, how the ABC works, so many people I know who know him. He was just clearly exceptionally good at what he did and very loved. Speaker 2: It's a reminder I think that parasocial relationships have existed long before the Internet. The fact that when the news of his death came out there was a widespread kind of public grieving and a lot of listeners who called in the next day, and his wife and his kids were kind of saying how much that meant to have people remember their dad through sense of humor and his energy. So two and a half years ago he was diagnosed with esophagal cancer and he was given two different treatment options, and he chose the one that was a bit less invasive and would preserve the things he loved in life, which were presenting radio, playing saxophone and enjoying food. Then in January of this year, he's given a terminal diagnosis and his response to that diagnosis and what he planned to do next was documented in Monday's episode of Australian Story, presented by Lee Sales, and it started a huge conversation about the concept of a living wake, which he very fittingly held on Valentine's Day of this year. Here's what he said on the show stage. Speaker 5: Four, terminal, inoperable, uncurable. I don't want to hear any of those words, let alone in the one sentence. So a friend suggested Tommy, maybe you should do a living wake, and oh, that sounds like fun. I will know the time and the day and so it'll be the last weekend. What do you do on that last weekend's dinner? Before? What do you think is that the last meal, I will probably know exactly when I'm going. Speaker 1: That's so moving. So seeing the footage of his reference at the end there was due to the fact that he ultimately chose the time he was going to die, right. Speaker 2: Yeah, he chose voluntary assisted dying and was very transparent around how he made that decision and what that decision entailed. For context, voluntary assisted dying is legal in all states in Australia and the Act except the Northern Territory, and obviously it's an incredibly complex and incredible, incredibly personal decision that has sparked. It's sparking more and more conversation the more we have and aging population and the more people are getting certain diagnoses that may keep them alive for a very long time, but the quality of that life may be poor, and him kind of taking people through that decision was a huge part of the Australian story. But it meant that he got to plan this living wake and there's footage of it, and he's got his family and friends there and there are so many familiar ABC faces and he's really good friends with Norman Swan, who he had on radio to discuss his diagnosis, like what all the different parts of the body were and what they did. And there was something so moving about seeing him on stage with a microphone at his own wake, basically saying, please come up to me and tell me stories and memories about us, because they are what's going to carry me through the next few weeks. And I guess I thought it must be such a relief for his family that then when you do a funeral, he's heard all the beautiful things that you're then going to say about him. I think this is really something we should we should all be looking at. Speaker 1: If it's possible, this episode of Australian Story is really recommended viewing. I think, whether you know who James Valentine is or not, in a world where we hate to talk about death, and yet it touches everybody obviously, I mean that's a ridiculous thing to say, but it does touch everybody. I'd lost a friend to this same cancer when he was only forty six. It's like all cancers. It's a it's it's cruel and the idea that we're also we don't like talking about illness, we don't like talking about death, and seeing somebody such a skilled communicator like James Valentine in this episode talking about why he wanted to do the things he did, and they document the year so very like him talking about how very much clarified for him that he loved his work, so he didn't want to stop working. He loved playing his saxophone, so he wanted to try and avoid procedures that were going to stop him from doing that. That he really wanted to work, play and be with his family, and those are the things he wanted to spend his last year doing. It's just it's very powerful, it's very clarifying. And then to see him at his living way and he says, you know, it wakes People always say, oh, he would have loved me there, and he says, so I wanted to be there, And I just think it's very refreshing. I think, you know, I, as I said, I didn't have a direct listenership with Joe's Valentine, but people who do, and people I know who've worked with him said he brought joy all the time. And it feels like a gift to give be so honest and so open and so clear eyed in talking about this thing that nobody wants to talk about. Is like the last incredible gift that a great communicator could give, and his family is so amazing in it. I really recommend watching the show. Speaker 2: There's a great quote in one of the ABC articles about his kind of decision making towards towards the end, where I think, as a psychologist says, dying people are not the actual act of dying is not the thing they're most scared of. They're scared of the invisibility and the absence of conversation around it. They're scared of people turning away and not wanting to be around them because of how confronting it is. And this was just such a reminder to look it straight in the eye and have the existential conversations with the people around you. The way that he spoke to his kids, and his kids were able to say, what do you think is going to happen afterwards? Speaker 3: And I bet that that's so much harder to do than even it looks. It doesn't look easy, but I bet it's even harder to actually enact these principles that we can all agree are worthwhile. Speaker 1: I love that his kids say that this was perfect for him in particular, this living weight, because he loved being center of attention. He loved a party, He loved being told I'm brad he was. I love the way they you know that families are really kind of I mean, I'm sure no families are perfect, but they're really healthy and loving when they can just call out that stuff about you and be like, he would love this because he just loves everybody tell him how great he is. Speaker 3: So good. Speaker 2: Yeah, And I loved that it wasn't a sanitized version because I think something I always bristle at is when you hear of somebody getting a terminal diagnosis or of you know, knowing that they're going to die. I bristle at the narrative of I guess almost toxic positivity that they're just like, well, I'm completely grateful and joyful. And then I feel for the people who don't have that response, which is completely bloody normal. But I loved there was a lot of light and shade in this. They talked about they went on a holiday, a family holiday to Bali, just before he was meant to get the surgery for his esophagus, and that the whole family's like, oh so bloody terrible holiday. Everyone was sick, everyone had covid Dad. Speaker 3: Had BALI belly like. It's sort of I like that. Speaker 2: In documenting this time, they've been able to show the highs and lows of what happened. But the nort Yeah, how normal it is. But the fact that he was able to do it his way, and that those conversations around what you want, what you don't want, they give so much empowerment in those in those final months and final days. Speaker 1: Something completely different. There was celebrity baby news this week that I must mark because it was interesting. Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden just welcomed their third child. And it's interesting because Cameron is fifty three. Now. When I say that, I don't mean it's interesting in that way of like, oh, miracle baby, how did she do that? Why did you do that? Cameron Diaz. They announced that their little boy had come. They announced what his name was. His name is Nortous and he joins Raddix and Cardinal, which are all just the most rock star names of all time. They announced it. They didn't give any more details than that. It is safe to assume just because Cam's been on a press tour lately, she's been quite visible on a tour for a movie called Outcome, So she's been very visible, and it's safe to assume possibly that she wasn't heavily pregnant during that time, so likely that a surrogate was involved, but none of our business. But the thing that I found really interesting and refreshing that I wanted to unpack a little bit here is I wrote an essay a while ago when Sienna Miller was on the Red Carpet with her beautiful baby bump at I think forty three, and saying how we're entering a bit of an era of agelessness because perhaps of fertility technology, because of the different options that are open to us now, because of Hollywood and the wellness world's obsession with longevity, that we're in a different era now when it comes to age and women and kids. And I think nothing illustrates that more clearly than the fact that there haven't been a whole waterfall of stories about like, oh my god, a mom at fifty three and how could she and why would she? And da da da da. Is that now we're much more kind of like in the way that we might be about a man becoming a father at fifty three, because if you remove the biological complication from the advance for chility technology and all those things. It isn't really any different than the guy who's been doing that forever. Yeah, am I right? Yeah? Speaker 2: No, I think so too. The interesting thing is, as well, when I've looked at this story, how old Benji Madam? Well, nobody ever, as I don't know, I don't know, why didn't I. Speaker 1: Google similar age? I think, well, let's find it happen. Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're seven, so being a little bit younger Benji's forty seven, bloody spring chicken. But I it's interesting because whenever I see pregnancy baby news, it's obviously the life stage. Speaker 3: I'man, I always google. Speaker 1: How old is how? Speaker 3: How old is that? Speaker 1: Money is she? Speaker 2: And you're right that we don't when we wouldn't blink an eye at a man having a child at fifty three. And obviously, if you want to think about any of the things that make rearing children. Speaker 3: Difficult, the older you get. Speaker 2: I mean, Amaran Diaz looks like a bloody pillar of health. She's gonna live forever, She's gonna live till she's undred. Speaker 3: Well, I think what's interesting is that you said no one will blink, and I about a man. I wonder if, now, because women are also having babies older, all of a sudden, we're starting to blink her eyes at men having babies older. Men were allowed to do it for all of human history, but now that women are starting to do it, we're starting to revisit the whole idea of older parents because. Speaker 2: We are interested, and there is actually more and more scientific research going into the health impacts of older because you know how, I'm called geriatric. Just for the record, I'm a geriatric mother. What age, I'm thirty five years old. No, they don't. They call it advanced material. Speaker 3: They definitely call it just it's kind of coolrophistic. Speaker 1: They definitely did call it geriatric though, when I had my second child at forty, I that's interesting. Speaker 2: But if they call Brent geriatric, no, but they should have done it because he's elderly, I think. Speaker 1: I think that's interesting. But then that also assumes. Speaker 3: Like the judgments creeping in for both sexes now, is what I'm saying. Speaker 1: Yes, and that assumes the idea about like we're becoming aware of the risks of older parents assumes assumes a lot about what might be going on here biologically. Yes, exactly, whereas if Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden and whoever else may be in their cohort are having are assessing all the risks, I'm sure they are. We know how health obsessed Hollywood is and making those choices, and there I think. I don't know that's interesting though, Amelia, where you say that that maybe the judgment, instead of fading away, just attaches itself to both genders. Speaker 3: Well, because I don't think it is just about biology. I think it would be we need to put on the table to not be disingenuous. That a lot of people listening to this may have a reaction of if you have a baby at a more advanced age, shall we say, in your fifties, you automatically do a bit of maths, and you think, well, when that child in school, Cameron Diaz will be sixty three. I don't know how old Benji Madden will because I'm not that good at maths, but he'll be also kind of old. And so I think that's one of the concerns that people are now voicing a little bit more when no one ever used to say, well, Mick Jagger is going to be so old when his kids graduate but now we are starting to say that or feeling perhaps feeling more comfortable to say that. Speaker 1: I think that's really interesting. But then I think in this privileged bubble that we're talking about, longevity is an obsession. So I think that that is also changing. This right is that people are thinking rightly, wrongly whatever that with all the right advances and all the right supplements and all the right that they're imagining themselves at seventy three, at this kid's twenty first, like leaping around, I'm doing yoga and pilate, particularly if they. Speaker 2: And Brian Johnson says he's got what is it the sperm of a twenty old? Think about that, man, Yeah, So I'm sure Cameron and Benji are having the same conversation. Speaker 3: So Cameron has remember she literally wrote a book about sort of how to be healthy as you get older, so she's this is clearly on her radar that she's sort of anticipating she will be living a long time. Speaker 1: That's always got time for on this Wednesday. Speaker 3: At births, deaths, any marriages, No. Speaker 1: There weren't any couples at the met gala, were they? They all went. Speaker 2: Solo boycotting, boycotting marriage on the metal, or. Speaker 1: Maybe it was like, unless that engagement wing comes from Amazon, we don't sink, perhaps in her body, her head and she did anyway. Thank you for being with us.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/42MhQwc David Bahnsen reviews a modest market pullback amid escalating Iran-related rhetoric and Strait of Hormuz risks: the Dow fell 557 points, the 10-year yield rose to 4.4%, and oil jumped above $105 while energy was the only S&P 500 sector up. He notes the unusually fast rebound from March volatility and points listeners to prior analysis on corrections vs bubbles and AI. In policy news, Spirit Airlines failed to secure a rescue and may face Chapter 7 liquidation. He discusses midterm dynamics favoring GOP Senate odds, very low initial jobless claims (190k), steady ISM manufacturing (52.7) with weaker employment, and travel-agency employment as a disruption case study for AI.

There's a moment in Hajj most people only think about as a logistical headache — the stoning of the Jamarāt. Crowded, hot, exhausting. You queue up, you throw, you move on.But behind that act is one of the most instructive scenes in our religion. And it happens to a father and a son, thousands of years before any of us were born.-----Ibrāhīm ﷺ waited decades for a child. He was an old man — the only worshipper of Allāh in his world. Just him, his wife, and his cousin Lūṭ. That was the entire ummah.He made duʿāʾ. Allāh gave him a son.And then, as soon as Ismāʿīl reached the age the Qurʾān describes as **بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ** — old enough to walk with him, work with him, hike with him, that beautiful pre-teenage age where the father is still the hero — Allāh told Ibrāhīm in a dream to slaughter him.I want you to sit with that for a second.Not as a young man tested with his own life. As a father, tested with his only son. Allāh wasn't asking him for everything. Allāh was asking him for the *one thing* most dear to him.This is the test that meets you in fatherhood. The test of whether Allāh comes before everything — including the people you love most.Both of them passed. Both submitted. The son said:> يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ> > *O my dear father, do as you have been commanded. You will find me, in shāʾ Allāh, among the patient ones.*-----Now here is the part I want you to focus on.On the way to the slaughter, Iblīs came. And what he whispered wasn't crude. It was clever. He listed every sacrifice Ibrāhīm had already made: *You were thrown into the fire. You were exiled. You migrated. You circumcised at an old age. Hasn't Allāh asked enough of you? And now your only son?*Ibrāhīm ﷺ didn't argue. He didn't debate. He didn't even just make duʿāʾ for protection.He bent down. He picked up seven pebbles. And he threw them.*Allāhu Akbar. Allāhu Akbar. Allāhu Akbar.*Then he moved.Iblīs came again, at a second spot. Seven more pebbles. *Allāhu Akbar.* He moved again.Iblīs came a third time. Seven pebbles. *Allāhu Akbar.* And Iblīs left, and didn't come back.-----Every Hajj, two to three million Muslims re-enact this. We throw stones at three pillars. We say *Allāhu Akbar.* We move on.But I think most of us don't realise what we're commemorating. We're not just throwing rocks at a symbol of evil. We're rehearsing a *method*.**Ibrāhīm didn't only make duʿāʾ. He picked up stones.**This is something I think about a lot. We have a tendency, when something is hard, to make duʿāʾ and then sit down. As if duʿāʾ alone is the entire toolkit. As if Allāh wants nothing more from us than our words.But Allāh gave us hands. He gave us bodies. He gave us pebbles. He wants to see what skin we have in the game. Not just our tongues — our *physicality.* He wants to see us bend down, pick something up, and throw it.Make duʿāʾ. *And then act.*-----The second thing Ibrāhīm did was even more underrated.**He moved.**He didn't stay at the same spot and keep throwing. He moved to a new location. And then another.This is huge. Because the lesson is: your environment shapes you. You cannot defeat the whisper of Iblīs while standing in the same place that lets him whisper.We have a principle in Islam — *al-jārū qabla al-dār.* The neighbour before the house. Look at your neighbourhood before you look at the property. The Prophet ﷺ said a person is on the religion of their closest friend. The one you spend the most time with — that's who you become.So when we ask Allāh to protect us from a sin, from a bad habit, from a toxic relationship, from a destructive workplace — and then we go right back into the same room, with the same people, in the same scroll, on the same screen — we are standing where Ibrāhīm refused to stand.Move. Move your body. Move your house. Move your friendship circle. Move your phone out of the bedroom. If you keep falling asleep when you open the muṣḥaf, don't read in bed — find a chair, find a desk, have a cup of coffee.Don't try to outlast Iblīs from his own territory. Pick up the pebbles, throw, and walk somewhere else.-----Here's what gives me hope.Ibrāhīm ﷺ moved *three times.* And then Iblīs left. He didn't come back.That's the promise embedded in this story. If you keep throwing and you keep moving, eventually the whisper gives up and goes looking for someone else. The struggle isn't infinite. It just feels infinite when you stand still.And the ending of Ibrāhīm and Ismāʿīl's story is the ending of every story where someone gives Allāh everything: nobody died. Allāh replaced the sacrifice with a great one. The son lived. The father was honoured. The act was immortalised in our worship until the end of time.When you put Allāh first — really first, not in a sentimental way but in a *here are my hands, here are my pebbles, here is the room I'm walking out of* kind of way — you don't lose. Barakah flows through everything you touch.-----So this Dhū al-Ḥijjah, even if you're not at the Jamarāt this year, take the lesson home with you.What is your Iblīs whispering at you right now? What's the pebble you need to pick up? And — this is the harder one — *what is the spot you need to move from?*Throw. Then move. Throw. Then move.He gives up before you do.-----*With duʿāʾ for those making Hajj this year, and for those still building toward it.* This is a public episode.

Nors dažnai manoma, kad tai mažina produktyvumą, tyrimas rodo, kad situacija gali būti sudėtingesnė – darbo rezultatai gali išlikti panašūs, tačiau keičiasi pats darbo procesas. Tai rodo ISM universiteto tyrėjo Eriko Marcinkevičiaus atliktas tyrimas, kuriame nagrinėta, kaip pranešimai veikia darbuotojų susitelkimą ir darbo rezultatus. Šis eksperimentas prasidėjo nuo asmeninės patirties, kai Erikas kuriam laikui atsisakė išmanaus telefono.Visuomeninei iniciatyvai „Senjoro lipdukas“ pasiūlius vyresnio amžiaus žmonėms leisti ant automobilio užsiklijuoti oranžinį ąžuolo lapą, susisiekimo ministras tokią idėją vertina skeptiškai.

This is The Flotillas, a three-part documentary series from The Take. Part One: It was just a few boats and a radical idea – break the maritime siege of Gaza imposed by Israel. Today, that spark has grown into a defiant global movement, but Huwaida Arraf has been confronting Israel on land and at sea for more than two decades. In 2025, she once again prepared to sail to Gaza on the ship Handala. This time, the stakes were different. As a mother of two, Huwaida navigated not only the risks of confronting a naval blockade, but also what it means to continue the fight while raising a family. This is the story of how a small, unlikely mission at sea grew into an international movement, and what keeps its earliest leaders going despite the personal cost.

In this verse by verse Bible study, Dave Bigler of Iron Sheep Ministries explores Hebrews 1.3-14, establishing the foundational identity of Jesus Christ and His superiority over the angels. The session begins by breaking down verse 3 into four key points: Jesus as the "radiance of God's glory," the "exact representation of His being," the sustainer of all things through His powerful word, and the one who provided purification for sins before taking His seat at the right hand of God. Dave draws connections to the Transfiguration in Matthew 17 and Jesus' own claims in John 14 to illustrate how Christ fully reveals the character of God to humanity.The second half of the study focuses on the comparison between the Son and angelic beings. Dave explains the historical context of the first century, where angels were held in extremely high regard, and shows how the author of Hebrews systematically places Jesus above them. Through a series of Old Testament quotations from the Psalms and Deuteronomy, Dave highlights that while angels are created "ministering spirits" and messengers, Jesus is the eternal Son, the Creator, and the King whose throne will last forever. The study concludes with a powerful challenge from C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, urging listeners to decide if Jesus is a liar, a lunatic, or truly LordNotes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HWquQQ2GDlj98OwJ0MRAZsZwPTgM8GrTlL3Fubb81uY/edit?usp=sharingSupport Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgJoin the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD
Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO of QI Research and former Fed insider, joins Julia to sound the alarm on a U.S. economy she believes is being misread, misreported, and mismanaged. From growing divisions inside the FOMC to deeply troubling labor market signals — including an ISM non-manufacturing employment reading of 45.2 last seen during the Great Recession — Danielle lays out why she believes the Fed is falling dangerously behind. She breaks down the private credit contagion risk, why only 25% of unemployed Americans are collecting benefits, and how student loan repayments, rising gas prices, and tightening lending standards are quietly crushing working families. With a midterm election on the horizon and consumer sentiment crumbling across all income levels, Danielle argues the stakes have never been higher — and that someone needs to start speaking up for everyday Americans.Links: Danielle's Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/dimartinobooth Substack: https://dimartinobooth.substack.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DanielleDiMartinoBoothQIFed Up: https://www.amazon.com/Fed-Up-Insiders-Federal-Reserve/dp/0735211655Timestamps: 0:00 Welcome back Danielle DiMartino Booth 01:00 FOMC minutes: Even more division inside the Fed 4:47 – What happens if no Fed chair gets confirmed? 7:19 – Is the Fed ignoring everyday Americans? 8:51 – ISM data parallels to 2001, 2007, and the Great Recession 10:53 – Job insecurity hitting ALL income levels 15:26 – Stagflation or just stagnation?

In this Bible study, Dave Bigler of Iron Sheep Ministries explores the profound opening verses of the Book of Hebrews. Focusing on Hebrews 1:1-2, this session dives into the various ways God has communicated with humanity throughout history—from the prophets of the Old Testament to the ultimate revelation through His Son, Jesus Christ.Dave breaks down complex theological concepts like Theophanies, Progressive Revelation, and Dispensationalism into accessible lessons, showing how Jesus is the heir of all things and the creator of the universe. Whether you are facing personal challenges or seeking a deeper understanding of the "Book of Better Things," this study offers a strong exhortation to remain faithful and recognize God's voice in your life today.View Dave's Notes Here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qo1z5_HmPDdHfgAz6Ls1jlG4UUNmJzZmI-h0zaaLZsI/edit?usp=drive_linkOUTLINE: 00:34 – Introduction: The Call to EndureDave introduces Hebrews as a "word of exhortation." Written to Jewish believers facing intense social and physical persecution, the book serves as a powerful encouragement to remain faithful. 04:14 – The Superiority of the SonThe study dives into the opening verses of Hebrews, contrasting God's past communication with His current revelation. In the "last days"—the era initiated by Christ's first coming—God has transitioned from using many messengers to speaking through a single, ultimate source: His Son. 06:02 – How God Spoke: Theophanies & VisionsDave explores the "many ways" God spoke to the ancestors. He breaks down Theophanies (God appearing in physical form) and Christophanies (pre-incarnate appearances of Christ), such as the burning bush or the figure who met Abraham. He also discusses God's use of audible voices, dreams, and visions given to prophets like Elijah and Isaiah. 17:55 – Progressive Revelation: From Prophets to the SonA look at Progressive Revelation—how God revealed His plan incrementally over time. Dave contrasts Dispensationalism (viewing history through distinct eras of testing) with Covenant Theology (viewing history through divine agreements). Regardless of the theological framework, the climax is the same: Jesus is the "Final Word." His revelation is superior because it is the complete and perfect expression of God's nature.25:34 – Jesus: The Heir of All ThingsThe title "Heir of all things" is explained through the lens of ancient inheritance rights. In a Jewish context, the firstborn received the birthright (physical inheritance) and the blessing (spiritual authority). Dave explains that Jesus holds both, making Him the rightful owner of all creation and the ultimate head over the family of God.27:06 – Jesus: The Agent of CreationThis section confirms the deity of Christ by identifying Him as the one "through whom also He made the universe." Dave aligns this with the Gospel of John, establishing that Jesus was not a created being but the divine agent through whom all time, space, and matter were formed. This reinforces why Jesus is "better" than any created thing, including angels.28:23 – Conclusion: The Discipline of HearingThe study concludes with a challenge regarding our "discipline of hearing." In a world full of noise, how do we hear the Son? Dave emphasizes that hearing from the Lord today requires a disciplined approach to Scripture and prayer. To know the "Final Word," we must be students of the Word.Next Study: A look at Hebrews 1.3-14, exploring Jesus' superiority to angels.Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgJoin the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD

Brian Szytel hosts Dividend Cafe on April 1, noting a positive market day with the S&P up about 0.5% and the NASDAQ up nearly 0.8% while the 10-year yield is around 4.32%. He attributes improved sentiment to a robust rally tied to Iran-related news and expectations of a potentially positive announcement from President Trump. He emphasizes the need for objective, non-politicized asset allocation focused on markets and the economy rather than geopolitical prognostication. Addressing a common question, he explains why Middle East disruptions can raise U.S. oil prices: oil is a global commodity and U.S. refineries are geared toward heavier Brent crude even though the U.S. produces much light sweet crude, with about one-third of consumption imported. He highlights stronger-than-expected ADP payrolls, February retail sales, and an ISM manufacturing beat, keeping both services and manufacturing in expansion. 00:00 Market Open And Q2 Kickoff 00:33 Iran Headlines And Trump Update 01:05 Staying Objective As Investors 02:41 Why Oil Prices Rise Globally 04:00 Key Economic Data Beats 04:54 Wrap Up And Next Episode Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
Susan Spence walks through the latest ISM manufacturing report, which came in above Street expectations. This marks the third month of expansion, and Susan walks through the categories to get a better overall understanding. Production is up but backlog is down, which could be a worrying sign. She's less optimistic than in February, especially because of the labor picture, as tariff and war uncertainties remain. Another big price hike, “the biggest in years,” is also hitting sectors.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this introductory lesson on the book of Hebrews, Bible teacher Dave Bigler provides a foundational overview of the text, emphasizing its central theme: the absolute superiority of Jesus Christ (Solos Christus). The study outlines how Hebrews serves as a "Rosetta Stone" for the Old Testament, bridging the Old and New Testaments. Dave highlights that the book of Hebrews is more of an exhortation or sermon than a traditional letter, designed to encourage Jewish Christians facing intense persecution to remain steadfast in their faith rather than reverting to old religious systems.The study also addresses the enduring mysteries of the book, such as its unknown authorship and specific audience. While historical traditions suggest figures like Paul, Barnabas, or Apollos, the Dave notes that the author purposefully remains anonymous to keep the focus entirely on Christ. The historical context, likely written before the destruction of the Temple in AD 70, provides a backdrop of social and political turmoil in Rome. Ultimately, the teaching concludes with a call to inductive Bible study, urging believers to observe and interpret the text to find personal application in a world filled with competing priorities.View full teaching notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X97hBArommgV3-E6Hxmn0whB55a_0WBMsRUuAEBIKwQ/edit?usp=sharingOutline: 00:00 - Introduction to Iron Sheep Ministries (ISM) and Dave BiglerISM's goal is to help Christian's grow in their knowledge and relationship with the Lord. Personal Background: Dave Bigler's transition from 20 years as a professional photographer to ministry at ISM and now teaching at a Classical Christian school. (The Bow Tie: A symbol of professionalism and taking the role of a Bible teacher seriously, inspired by Colossians 3.23).10:51 — Point 1: The Theme of HebrewsTheme: Solus Christus (Christ alone).The book emphasizes the absolute supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 1:1-3).12:31 — Point 2: What is Hebrews?It functions more like a sermon or exhortation than a traditional Gospel or epistle. The "Book of Better Things": Uses the Greek word kreitton (superior/excellent) 18 times to show Christ's superiority:Ch. 1-2: Superior to prophets and angels.Ch. 3-4: Superior to Moses and Joshua.Ch. 4-6: Superior to Aaron the high priest.Ch. 7-10: Brings a superior priesthood, covenant, and sacrifice.The Rosetta Stone of the Bible: Unlocks the Old Testament with 35 direct quotations and 34 allusions; it provides essential details on the sacrificial system and Melchizedek.22:54 — Point 3: Who is the Audience?Jewish believers (Messianic Jews) intimately familiar with the Torah and Levitical priesthood.24:23 — Point 4: Where was the Audience?Likely a home church or group of churches in or around Rome.26:27 — Point 5: Who is the Author?Anonymous. Historically debated since the 2nd century.Potential Candidates: Paul, Luke, Barnabas, Apollos, Priscilla (among others)The "Hidden Servant": The anonymity may be intentional to keep the focus entirely on Jesus.38:41 — Point 6: When was it Written?Date: Likely 64–69 AD, as it refers to Temple sacrifices as ongoing, meaning it was written before the Temple's destruction in 70 AD.40:29 — Point 7: Where do we put Hebrews?Serves as a "bridge" between the Pauline epistles (grace/church) and the General epistles (ethics/trials).44:23 — Point 8: What is the Purpose?Encouragement: To help Christians endure persecution (like that under Nero in 64 AD) and resist the temptation to return to "safer" Jewish roots by proving Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of the Law.50:02 — Point 9: ApplicationUsing the Inductive Bible Study Method (Observation, Interpretation, Application) to study the text verse by verse.Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgJoin the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD

Brian Szytel recaps a rebound day in markets with broad gains (Dow +238, S&P +0.8%, Nasdaq +1.3%) amid headline-driven volatility tied to Iran and renewed tariff discussion. He notes Secretary Bessent's comments on Section 122 potentially moving tariffs from 10% to 15%, which would still mean $65–$70B less in taxes than under IEPA, helping especially smaller and mid-sized businesses. Key market watchpoints are oil and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and bond yields, which rose with higher energy and inflation expectations rather than signaling a flight to safety; the 10-year is around 4.07%. He reiterates a midterm outlook of Democrats taking the House and Republicans holding the Senate. Economic data were strong, led by ISM services at 56.1, alongside services PMI at 51.7 and ADP private payrolls at 63K. He also addresses software stocks, viewing AI-driven selloffs as selective opportunity with potential margin benefits. 00:00 Market Rebound Recap 00:42 Tariffs Back in Focus 01:45 Iran Risks and Oil 02:41 Volatility and Bond Yields 03:49 Midterm Politics Update 04:27 Economic Data Rundown 05:33 AI and Software Stocks 06:47 Wrap Up and Tomorrow Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
Oil spikes. Gas jumps above $3. Inflation expectations shift in a matter of days. Suddenly the market isn't debating disinflation or AI productivity. It's asking whether we're entering a new inflation shock.In Episode 177 of Facts vs. Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, walk through what's happening beneath the headlines. They explain how the Strait of Hormuz disruption is impacting oil flows, why gasoline prices move markets faster than geopolitics, and how rate-cut expectations shifted dramatically in just one week. The conversation moves from energy markets to ISM prices paid, AI-driven infrastructure demand, memory chip shortages, and what this means for inflation volatility in the years ahead.Key Takeaways:• Oil shock hits fast: Disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz pushed crude and gas prices sharply higher, immediately shifting inflation expectations• Rate cuts repriced: Markets quickly reduced expectations for multiple Fed cuts as inflation data and energy pressures mounted• Inflation volatility regime: Elevated base inflation combined with external shocks increases the risk of short-term price spikes• AI demand adds pressure: Infrastructure buildout and memory chip shortages are contributing to near-term pricing strength• Economic backdrop still stable: Leading indicators suggest the economy entered this period near trend, not in recession territory• Portfolio construction matters: We believe diversifying beyond traditional bonds remains critical in a more inflation-sensitive world.Jump to:0:02 — Setting The Stage: Problems Pile Up1:08 — Gas Price Surge Hits Home2:46 — Markets Sell Off And Tech's Role3:43 — Oil Jumps And Strait Of Hormuz Risk6:15 — Energy, Diesel, And Food Cost Pressures8:38 — Firsthand Gulf Perspective And LNG Shock12:35 — Portfolios For 3% Inflation World16:24 — Gold, Bonds, And Risk-Off Mechanics20:07 — Fewer Fed Cuts And PCE vs CPI24:55 — Small Caps, Rates, And Risk Appetite28:40 — Fed Independence And Politics Reality32:48 — Inflation-Volatility Regime, Not The 1970s36:48 — Diversify Your Diversifiers Strategy40:25 — VIX Spike And Geopolitics Playbook45:10 — Trend vs Recession: Leading Indicators49:22 — ISM PMI: Expansion But Price PressureConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan sounds the alarm on a clandestine Chinese biolab discovered in Las Vegas, tied to the same Chinese national behind the infamous California lab raid involving dangerous viruses, dead animals, and fraudulent COVID test schemes. He then covers explosive new inconsistencies in the Jeffrey Epstein jail death investigation, including missing evidence, conflicting officer statements, and questions the DOJ still refuses to answer.

The episode closes with encouraging economic and medical news, including rising wages for American truckers as illegal drivers are removed, factory growth beating expectations, falling remittances to Mexico, promising breakthroughs in cholesterol treatment, inspiring longevity research from Spain, and simple evidence that family dinners may be one of the most powerful tools to protect children.
