Podcasts about Kaz

It's really the only way to cope with the trade deadline. Lots to cover in this super-sized episode, only partly fueled by very delicious (organic!) tequila. The big news was supposed to be Tarik Skubal, for which Patti doesn't fault the LAD, she faults everyone else. The gut punch was once and forever Adley to BOS, which sets up all sorts of interesting co-host dynamics for AL East games to come. But the rest of baseball continues – Nasim can't stop stealing bases and Kaz stole his first. Ivan has more bruises than you'd expect and Daylen needs a lecture on what “old-school' really means. Salvy is just the best. You can now use “ultimate grand slam” with confidence, and explain WRC+ to friends and family. Patti is ready to defend scooters as a component of multimodal transportation and not a “sport” to the Giants if necessary. Pottymouth welcomes the start of the inaugural WPBL season. Please read this piece on Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve – problematic but an excellent conversation starter. And one of your hosts finds the idea of push-up sushi in a ballpark pretty compelling.We say, “Chahge ya cah in Bah Hahbah,” “You can't just randomly stop paying me because I was out on a scooter at 2am,” and “Transphobic with a Barbie smile.” Fight the man, go see some live baseball, send your game balls to Meredith, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Fr. David Gunter, MIC, reflects on Jesus withdrawing by boat to pray amid chaos and violence. Christ shows us that, when we face fear, loneliness, confusion, or uncertainty, we should seek quiet time with God rather than allow fear to control us.This message is especially important today, when many people are anxious about prophecies, testimonies, and events in the world. Jesus does not want us to live in fear. He calls us to prayer and asks us to seek the Holy Spirit's gift of discernment; the Spirit of Truth, so that we may recognize and follow the will of the Father.We should invite the Holy Spirit into our hearts, remain close to the Blessed Mother, and be cautious of movements that ignore the Holy Spirit or place themselves above God's will. Through prayer, discernment, and preparation of heart, we become ready to receive the fire of Christ's love: “I came to cast fire upon the earth.”Readings for August 3rd. 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/080326.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

On the Feast of St. Alphonsus Liguori, Fr. Daniel Klimek reflected on the saint's witness as a priest, bishop, lawyer, Mariologist, and Doctor of the Church, emphasizing his commitment to Catholic moral teaching and fidelity to God's truth. He connected St. Alphonsus' legacy with the martyrdom of St. John the Baptist, who gave his life for courageously defending God's moral law by condemning an unlawful marriage.Fr. Klimek warned that moral relativism and the manipulation of language create confusion that distances people from the truth of the Gospel. He encouraged priests and all Catholics to proclaim the truth with courage and charity, following the example of the martyrs who were willing to die rather than compromise God's law. His message was a call to remain faithful to Christ, defend the truth, and never compromise the beauty of the Catholic faith. ★ Support this podcast ★

In today's homily, Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC, described the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves as a powerful sign of Jesus' desire to nourish His people. When Jesus fed thousands with only a small amount of bread, He showed that His love and generosity have no limits. This miracle points beyond physical hunger to the deeper hunger of the human soul.Fr. Tyler also connected the multiplication of the loaves with Christ's sacrifice on the Cross and His Resurrection. Jesus endured a brutal death, rose victoriously, and now gives the fruits of His sacrifice to millions of people throughout the world. Just as the bread was multiplied for the crowd, the one sacrifice of Christ continues to nourish humanity through every celebration of the Eucharist.The homily presents the Eucharist as the supreme manifestation of God's love. Above and beyond, Jesus does not give Himself only to a few people or only for one moment. He gives Himself continually and abundantly to all who come to Him in faith. In the Eucharist, Jesus always gives more than we expect: His presence, His grace, His healing, and His very life.Readings for August 2nd. 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/080226.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

In this inspiring reflection, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC reminds us that rejection is a part of every human life. We may reject ourselves, reject others, or experience rejection from those around us. Beneath these experiences often lie emotional wounds that God invites us to acknowledge and heal.The homily challenges us to consider how the fear of rejection can keep us from embracing the truth. While the truth can be difficult and even offensive to those who resist it, Christ calls us to live in the truth with courage, humility, and love.Fr. Anthony also emphasizes the importance of repentance. When we sincerely repent of our sins and receive God's mercy in this life, we can face God's judgment with hope, trusting in His forgiveness and infinite love.May this reflection encourage you to embrace the truth, trust in God's mercy, and never allow the fear of rejection to keep you from following Christ."Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." – John 8:32 ★ Support this podcast ★

In today's homily, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC reflected on God's attributes: He is good, merciful, powerful, truthful, and sovereign. God's sovereignty reminds us that He is the highest authority over all creation and salvation history, providing a firm foundation for our spiritual and emotional lives.Using the image of the potter and the clay, Fr. Mark encouraged us to trust God's loving plan. We are called to humbly accept how God has created us and allow Him to shape our lives according to His wisdom.

In today's homily, Fr. Daniel Klimek delivers a powerful reflection on God's disappointment with Israel and the pride of Judea; a message that speaks directly to our world today. While we may not worship pagan statues, many of us are tempted to place power, success, comfort, wealth, popularity, or personal desires above God, creating modern-day idols that slowly draw our hearts away from Him.The homily reminds us that God continually calls His people to something far greater. "You are My people, My beauty, My praise." Every Christian has been entrusted with a mission. When we remain rooted in God, our lives bear fruit like flourishing branches. But pride and attachment to false gods distance us from the reality of who we were created to be.God is not disappointed because He stops loving us.He is disappointed because He knows who we are meant to become. When we reject the idols of this world, embrace humility, and allow His grace to work through even our smallest acts of kindness, we fulfill the mission for which He created us and become living signs of His love in the world.Readings for July 27th. 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/072626.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

Chris Alar explores the Catholic teaching on the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the body, and the arrival of the New Jerusalem described in the Book of Revelation. Discover why God's plan is not to abandon creation but to renew it completely; where Heaven and Earth become one, glorified bodies replace suffering, and God's presence fills all creation forever.This message offers hope, clarity, and a deeper understanding of our eternal destiny and why every day of our lives is preparation for the world to come."Behold, I make all things new."

Reflecting on St. Paul's description of believers as “infants in Christ,” Fr. David Gunter reminded us that the struggles faced by the early Church in Corinth are still present today. False teachings, division, confusion, and the influence of secular culture can weaken the faith and prevent Christians from growing into spiritual maturity.Although the Church is now spread throughout the world, many believers still need to learn what it truly means to live as children of God. The chaos and division we see around us reveal how urgently we need deeper conversion, sound teaching, and greater unity in Christ.The Church continues to face a violent spiritual storm, but our response must never be hatred or despair. We are called to remain faithful, love those who are wounded or confused, and pray for everyone—trusting that Christ will guide and protect His Church.#TodaysHomily #FrDavidGunterMIC #ChildrenOfGod #CatholicFaith #SpiritualMaturity #PrayForTheChurch #divinemercy © 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

In today's homily, Fr. Chris Alar reflects on the extraordinary life of St. Charbel Makhlouf, a Maronite Catholic monk formed by poverty, prayer, silence, and sacrifice. After leaving home at age 23, St. Charbel dedicated himself completely to God through a hidden life of humility and penance.His holiness became a powerful bridge between Christians and Muslims, drawing people of different faiths together through prayer, healing, and respect. Even after his death on Christmas Eve, remarkable signs surrounding his incorrupt body strengthened devotion to him.St. Charbel remains a powerful intercessor, especially for the sick, reminding us that a life completely surrendered to God can bring healing, unity, and hope to the world.Readings for July 24th. 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/072426.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

As our culture continues to redefine truth, where should Catholics stand? In this powerful homily, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC explains the Catholic Church's teaching on communism, socialism, human dignity, private property, and the role of the State in light of the Gospel. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the teachings of Popes Leo XIII and Pius XI, he reminds us that our ultimate hope and freedom come from God; not from any political ideology. Fr. Chris also addresses today's cultural challenges, the importance of defending objective moral truth, and why the Church teaches that authentic freedom, justice, and human dignity can only flourish when God remains at the heart of society.This homily is not about partisan politics; it is about the salvation of souls, the protection of religious freedom, and remaining faithful to Jesus Christ in a world that increasingly rejects His truth.Readings for July 23rd. 2026:https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/072326.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

On the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC, reflects on one of the greatest truths of the Gospel: Jesus always makes the first move to love us. No matter how far we have fallen or how often we fail, Christ never stops pursuing us with His infinite mercy.St. Mary Magdalene's life is a powerful witness that no sin is greater than God's love. Tradition has long portrayed her as a woman deeply wounded by sin and disordered desires before her conversion. In many ways, she represents every person who wrestles with weakness, brokenness, and the attraction of sin.Today's homily reminds us that God never defines us by our past. He sees who we are capable of becoming through His grace. Like St. Mary Magdalene, we are invited to respond to His love, trust in His mercy, and allow Him to transform our lives.Our past does not define us; our encounter with Christ does.Readings for July 22nd 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071626.cfm ★ Support this podcast ★

No company decides to fail. It drifts there one comfortable lie at a time. Kaz Nejatian took over Opendoor when it was just months away from bankruptcy and set out to rebuild it from the ground up. What happened next shocked everyone. Most turnaround stories are told years later, by the winner, after the ending is already known. That's why they always sound clean and polished. This one doesn't have an ending yet, and it's anything but clean and polished. Kaz takes us inside while it's still happening. We discuss why great companies drift away from reality, why truth has to matter more than feelings, and how competent people who don't believe in the mission quietly destroy an organization. He shares the principles behind rebuilding culture, eliminating bureaucracy, making faster decisions, using AI to flatten management, and creating teams that move with speed and ownership. One of the key things I learned in this conversation is that the comfortable lies that sink a company are the same ones that sink a career. ------ Chapters: (0:00) How Opendoor Came Back from the Dead (1:32) How Mismanagement Causes Atrophy (4:28) The Blueprint that Changed Opendoor (5:33) Rewriting the Book on Company Turnarounds (5:57) The People You Hire Is the Company You Build (6:31) Be a Nuclear Bomb of Truth (7:52) How to Change a Losing Company Culture (8:07) Commit to Truth Over Feelings (8:33) The Most Dangerous Kind of Employee (9:13) Key Principles to Turning Around a Company (11:59) Meetings Are a Bug in the System (12:30) Why It's Rude to Not Disagree (13:05) Say the Thing Culture (15:04) How AI Is Supercharging Opendoor (18:16) Most Powerful Mental Models (22:50) Why Remote Workplaces Don't Succeed (24:56) How Opendoor Killed Distractions (26:09) The Key to Being a Market Maker (35:20) How Companies Fall Off Course Over Time (37:24) The Power of Speaking Simply (43:27) Turnaround Lessons for Life (51:10) Excellence Is Capacity to Take Pain ------ Newsletter: The Brain Food newsletter delivers actionable insights and thoughtful ideas every Sunday.

In Today's  Homily, Fr. Chris Alar reflects on the tragedy of unbelief: even after witnessing Jesus' miracles, hearing His divine teachings, and seeing clear signs of His identity, many people, including His own disciples at times; still struggled to believe. Father Chris reminds us that our generation has received an even greater fullness of revelation, yet many still refuse to believe, especially in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Christ does not perform miracles on demand or satisfy every challenge for a sign. Faith cannot be reduced to saying, “Show me a miracle, and then I will believe.” As Our Lord teaches, blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.Readings for July 20th 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071826.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

Homily for July 17th, 2026 | Fr. Daniel Klimek reflects on memento mori; the ancient spiritual practice of remembering that one day we will die. Death is inevitable, but contemplating it is not intended to fill us with despair. Instead, it awakens us to the importance of living every day with God and preparing our hearts for eternity.Our actions, choices, and daily decisions have eternal consequences. Fr. Daniel encourages us to put our spiritual house in order, turn away from sin, and contemplate the realities of Heaven and hell. God may draw us toward repentance through a deep love that desires to please Him or through a holy fear of being eternally separated from Him. Both remind us of what God desires to save us from and the eternal life He desires to give us.Readings for July 17th 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071726.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

Homily for Saturday  July 18th 2026 | What is more important: what we have done for God, or what Jesus has done for us? . In this powerful reflection, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC reminds us that the Christian life is not centered on what we have done for God; but on what Jesus Christ has done for us.The devil wants us trapped in self-condemnation, constantly focused on our weaknesses and failures.But Christ invites us to lift our eyes to His Cross, His Divine Mercy, and His Eucharistic Presence. "Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed."Those words remind us that salvation is not earned; it is received through the mercy of Christ. Today, Jesus invites you to stop staring at your failures and start contemplating His infinite mercy.Fix your eyes on Him. Receive His healing. Let His love transform your heart."He is the One who makes us worthy."Readings for July 18th 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071826.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

On this Memorial of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC reminds us of Christ's invitation: "Come to Me... Take My yoke upon you." Jesus is not asking us to carry more weight; He is inviting us to let Him carry our burdens with us. The Christian life begins with surrender; not self-reliance.When we stop trying to carry life alone and place ourselves under the mantle of Our Lady, we discover what Jesus promised: "My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." The burden becomes lighter not because the cross disappears, but because Christ carries it with us. His grace perfectly strengthens our weakness.Our Lady of Mount Carmel invites us to walk the path of perfection; not by our own strength, but by surrendering ourselves completely to Jesus. Under her mantle, we learn that true freedom comes when we entrust everything to the mercy of Christ.Readings for July 16th 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071626.cfm ★ Support this podcast ★

In today's homily, Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC, explores the timeless wisdom of St. Bonaventure, who teaches that Christian perfection comes not through knowledge alone, but through the burning love of Jesus Christ. Discover the Franciscan path of prayer, humility, grace, and total union with God.Fr. Tyler Mentzer reminds us that holiness is not reserved for theologians or mystics. Every Christian is invited to this same journey. The path to perfection is simple, though demanding: reject sin, cultivate humility, live a holy life, pray fervently, meditate on Christ's Passion, and allow God's grace to inflame your heart. As St. Bonaventure teaches, the goal is not merely to know about God, but to become so united with Him that love itself transforms us.Readings for July 15th 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071526.cfm ★ Support this podcast ★
