El Club Marina Casinet acollirà el pròxim dilluns la presentació de ‘El destí i la tria', la primera novel·la del metge Jordi Coderch. L'obra suposa el debut de l'autor en el terreny de la ficció i combina una trama de misteri amb una reflexió sobre qüestions com l'Alzheimer, el dret a morir dignament, les addiccions o l'explotació de persones. La novel·la segueix la història d'en Martí, un apassionat dels viatges que treballa per a una agència turística i que, durant una estada al Vietnam, pateix un accident tan inesperat com difícil d'explicar. Paral·lelament, rep la notícia de la mort sobtada de la seva mare, que es trobava en una fase avançada d'Alzheimer. El retorn a casa per afrontar aquesta situació el portarà a retrobar-se amb persones del seu passat i a intentar resoldre diversos interrogants que es despleguen al llarg del relat. Més enllà de l'argument, Coderch utilitza la història per plantejar una reflexió sobre la relació entre el destí i la capacitat de decisió de les persones. De fet, el títol fa referència a aquest dilema entre les circumstàncies que la vida imposa i les opcions que cadascú té per afrontar-les. «Cadascú ha de tenir l'opció de triar allò que vol fer amb la seva vida, fins i tot al final de la vida» Jordi Coderch Aquesta mirada pren especial protagonisme en l'abordatge de l'Alzheimer i en les decisions vinculades al tram final de la vida. L'autor ha explicat que la novel·la neix de la voluntat d'explorar una nova forma de comunicació després d'anys dedicat a la divulgació sanitària i a les publicacions científiques. «Tenia l’autorrepte de ser capaç de fer-ho també en forma de ficció per arribar a un altre públic i explicar les coses d’una altra manera», assenyala. En aquest sentit, el doctor Jordi Coderch reconeix que una de les principals fonts d'inspiració ha estat la malaltia de la seva mare, que va conviure durant més de vint anys amb l'Alzheimer. Aquesta experiència personal, sumada a la seva trajectòria professional, l'ha portat a reflexionar sobre l'impacte de la malaltia en les famílies i sobre la necessitat de parlar obertament del final de la vida. De fet, l'autor assegura que va poder comprovar de primera mà com «és molt important poder preparar-se per aquesta etapa final» i decidir determinades qüestions mentre la persona encara conserva la capacitat de fer-ho. «L'Alzheimer té una evolució cruel fins al punt que arriba un moment que la persona ja no és persona» Jordi Coderch L'obra també incorpora una dimensió solidària. Els beneficis que es derivin de la seva venda es destinaran a la Fundació Pasqual Maragall i a l'Associació Dret a Morir Dignament, dues entitats vinculades directament als temes que aborda la novel·la i amb les quals l'autor col·labora habitualment. La presentació de ‘El destí i la tria' tindrà lloc el proper dilluns, 15 de juny (19h) al Club Marina Casinet de Lloret de Mar. Durant l'acte, Jordi Coderch explicarà el procés de creació de la seva primera novel·la i aprofundirà, juntament amb el divulgador cultural Sebastià Goday.

La recreació del mític Floridita de l'Havana, on es va popularitzar el daiquiri de la mà del lloretenc Constantí Ribalaigua, és un dels atractius principals de la Fira dels Americanos, que aquest cap de setmana celebra la 13a edició a Lloret de Mar. Un altre dels punts forts de la fira és, sens dubte, el mercat indià, organitzat per l'empresa Balconet Recreacions. El seu responsable és Juan Cantero, que remarca que hi haurà una seixantena de parades variades que està convençut que atraparan al públic. “Tindrem varietat, sobretot d'artesania: joieria, bijuteria, sabons, bosses… També alguns espais de garrapinyades, caramels i una mica d'alimentació”Juan Cantero El mercat indià obrirà les portes demà divendres, a les tres de la tarda, i es podrà visitar fins diumenge a les deu de la nit. Durant aquests tres dies, s'han previst una quarantena d'activitats variades entre el passeig Verdaguer i la Plaça de la Vila. Hi haurà cercaviles, espectacles de circ modernista, animacions teatrals i un dels punts forts: tallers de balls caribenys i sessions musicals. Entre les propostes musicals destacades hi haurà les actuacions de Mixael Cabrera i Mariana y La Makinaria. La programació musical de l'esdeveniment va a càrrec de Dynamo Entertainment, amb Armand Galarraga al capdavant. “Intentem sempre que l'ambient faci ebullició, que hi hagi diversió i també el punt cultural musical i que les actuacions siguin d'un rigor i una qualitat que crec que estan a l'altura de la fira”Armand Galarraga A més, també hi haurà exhibicions de Dynamo Dance Team, les representacions teatrals d'Els periodistes i Els banyistes i la tradicional cantada d'havaneres amb el grup Peix Fregit. Tot el programa es pot consultar a través del portal web de l'Ajuntament. Armand Galarraga considera que hi ha un conjunt d'aspectes que fan especial la Fira dels Americanos de Lloret de Mar. “Lloret, l'entorn, el microclima lloretenc, l'estima per aquest tipus de cultura, la música, l'ambient distès i festiu i les 13 edicions avalen la trajectòria de la fira”Armand Galarraga Una de les novetats d'aquest any serà el repartiment de 500 barrets oficials de la Fira dels Americanos.

Jennie Durant, PhD, joins Beekeeping Today to discuss her new book, Bitter Honey: Big Ag's Threat to the Bees and the Fight to Save Them. Drawing from more than fifteen years of research, interviews, and fieldwork, Jennie explores the complex relationship between commercial beekeeping and modern agriculture. She shares how her interest in honey bees began during her graduate studies in the Philippines and eventually led to a PhD focused on the challenges facing managed pollinators in large-scale agricultural systems. Jennie discusses the evolution of commercial beekeeping in response to the growing demand for almond pollination and how intensified management practices—including supplemental feeding, migratory pollination, and aggressive mite control—have become necessary to maintain colony health and profitability. She explains how habitat loss, monoculture agriculture, pesticide exposure, climate change, and economic pressures have created a difficult environment for both beekeepers and bees. The conversation also explores the often-contentious discussions surrounding honey bees and native pollinators. Jennie emphasizes that habitat loss is the underlying issue affecting all pollinators and advocates for expanding forage resources rather than framing the discussion as a competition between species. Becky and Jeff discuss the importance of habitat restoration, pollinator-friendly land management, and the role beekeepers can play in supporting broader conservation efforts. Jennie highlights organizations such as the Bee and Butterfly Habitat Fund and discusses practical actions individuals can take to improve forage availability for pollinators. She also shares stories gathered while researching the book, including the challenges commercial beekeepers have faced in obtaining effective mite treatments over the years. Throughout the discussion, Jennie provides a thoughtful and balanced perspective on the realities facing modern beekeeping while offering hope through examples of innovative habitat projects, conservation programs, and collaborative efforts aimed at improving conditions for managed and native bees alike.

Conférence publique du 21 mai 2026 - Episode #8 "Syrie, une nouvelle donne régionale ?" Bernard Hourcade (CNRS, CeRMI) et Jean Marcou (Sciences Po Grenoble – UGA) Modération : Philippe Pétriat (Université Paris 1-Panthéon Sorbonne) Jean Marcou, politiste spécialiste de la Turquie et Bernard Hourcade, géographe spécialiste de l'Iran, analysent l'évolution des relations de la Syrie avec la Turquie et l'Iran, de 1946 à nos jours. Dans un premier temps, Jean Marcou retrace la période allant de l'indépendance de la Syrie jusqu'aux années 1990. Durant cette période, la Syrie apparait comme le voisin le plus problématique de la Turquie. En effet, alors que la Turquie s'aligne sur le bloc occidental, la Syrie baasiste se rapproche de l'Union soviétique durant la guerre froide. Plusieurs différends aggravent cette rivalité : la question du Sandjak d'Alexandrette, le partage des ressources en eau du Tigre et de l'Euphrate et le soutien syrien au PKK kurde. Un rapprochement entre les deux pays s'opère dans les années 2000, après l'arrestation d'Abdullah Öcalan et la fin du soutien de la Syrie au PKK. Les relations diplomatiques et économiques connaissent un développement soutenu et cela jusqu'en 2011. Bernard Hourcade décrit les relations méfiantes que la Syrie entretient avec l'Iran, tourné à l'époque du Shah vers l'Occident. Dès la révolution islamique, la Syrie reconnaît le nouveau régime islamique afin de contrebalancer l'influence de l'Irak de Saddam Hussein au Moyen-Orient. Cette alliance se renforce durant la guerre Iran-Irak grâce à des partenariats militaires et stratégiques. Le soutien de la Syrie au Hezbollah contribue à son essor et renforce l'influence régionale de l'Iran. Malgré des intérêts communs contre Israël et l'extrémisme sunnite, certaines divergences idéologiques ont parfois fragilisé leur relation. La guerre en Syrie bouleverse profondément les équilibres régionaux. Les relations entre la Turquie et la Syrie entrent dans une période de forte hostilité en 2011, rompant avec la politique turque précédente du « zéro problème avec les voisins ». Après avoir tenté de jouer un rôle de médiateur auprès du régime de Bachar al-Assad, la Turquie soutient finalement les forces d'opposition. Son implication militaire s'accompagne parfois d'alliances controversées avec certains groupes djihadistes, notamment Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Les tensions avec d'autres puissances, comme la Russie dans la région d'Idlib, illustrent la complexité du conflit. La frontière turco-syrienne devient une zone de conflit marquée par des affrontements entre différentes factions. La Turquie fait face à plusieurs défis : l'accueil massif de réfugiés syriens, les tensions économiques et sociales liées à leur intégration ainsi que la montée d'un discours anti-réfugiés. De plus, l'autonomie kurde du Rojava suscite des inquiétudes à Ankara en raison des liens des YPG avec le PKK. Depuis la chute du régime de Bachar al-Asad, la Turquie a renoué un dialogue dynamique avec la Syrie et des projets de coopération économique, énergétique et éducative sont lancés. Toutefois, Ankara maintient une présence militaire dans le nord de la Syrie au nom de la sécurité et de la stabilité régionales. Le retour des réfugiés syriens installés en Turquie depuis 2011 (près de 3 millions) et l'opposition à toute constitution d'une entité kurde autonome constituent toujours deux lignes directrices de la politique turque à l'égard de la Syrie. Quant à l'Iran, sa stratégie d'expansion régionale a échoué face aux attaques israéliennes après la chute du régime de Bachar Al-Assad – qui a compliqué les échanges avec le Hezbollah au Liban. L'Iran subit une défaite idéologique et une perte d'influence territoriale dans un contexte d'évolutions des alliances favorisant les puissances sunnites telle que l'Arabie saoudite.

Our Spiritual Growth (1) (audio) David Eells – 6/3/26 Glory of a Child Peter - 03/04/2008 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I found myself sitting at the side of a road, on the curb, and it was gloomy and dark. There were two gray wolves or beast-like creatures with massive fangs that subtly approached me from behind. (The beasts or wolves represent wicked men: (Luk.10:3)... I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. (Ecc.3:18)... It is because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.) They tried attacking me, but I don't remember if I tried to fight them off. What I do remember is that I ran into a dull red mini caravan, which so happened to be on the road, for protection and safety. (The van may represent a means of mobility having protection and safety. The dull red color represents the blood of Jesus.) As I was shutting the passenger door, one of the beasts lunged at me, but I managed to slam the door on it. (Enclosed in the blood) As a large portion of its body was caught in between the closed door, it suddenly morphed into a naked man inside the van (I could only see the upper body). This man had streams of blood running down from all over his body. (The persecutors wear as their works the blood of the saints. Eze.22:4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made.) During the entire time, I was panicking and fearful for my life and trying to survive. (David: As I have meditated on this dream, I see that the first man above is the natural man who is in total fear of losing his old life at the hands of the wicked. His reactions are natural but not based on the Word. The man below is the spiritual man, who is 'Christ in you' and whose actions are based in the Spirit and faith in the blood of Jesus. Together these make up who we are. We can choose to be led by either man, but the latter preserves life and promotes the Kingdom of God in and around us, making us safe. A confirmation that these two men are Peter, is that they are both sitting upon the curb.) Then my attention was suddenly drawn outside the van to a child who was sitting on the curb. (Mar.10:15) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.) He had a large volume of golden curly hair. (Golden hair represents submission to the Lord [1Co.11:3-16] which strengthens us and sets a crown of glory upon us. (Jdg.16:17)... if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man. The blessings of the Lord, riches, honor and life [Pro.22:4] are set upon His people as a crown of fine gold [Psa.21:3]. The child was sitting curled up in a ball (Representing humility and weakness; (2 Cor.12:9)...my power is made perfect in weakness.... (Jer.13:18)... Humble yourselves, sit down...), with his arms wrapped around his knees and with only his eyes to be seen. His eyes were emphasized, and I believe they were large and beautiful. (This represents spiritual eyes. (Son.4:1) Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are [as] doves behind thy veil... Doves represent seeing as the Holy Spirit does. We must see that we have been saved and sanctified. (2Pe.1:3) seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue). The lower part of his face (chin, mouth, nose) was tucked in behind his knees. (When attacked, we are not to defend ourselves by speaking foolishly. (Ecc.5:2) Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. (Isa.7:4)...Take heed, and be quiet; fear not.) He was innocent and harmless. He was clean. (He represents Christ in you, the spiritual man.) After I had finished observing, I noticed the same two beasts sneaking up behind him. At this point, there was no awareness of the man being in the van. (The spiritual man is not in danger and gives us a good example that we should not be in fear.) As I was still locked in the van for my own protection, I was filled with fear, yelling and screaming from the top of my lungs, trying to warn the child that he may run into the van. (Fear and anxiety, both a reflection of unbelief, only locked or bound me in the van. I was without any peace; I only had uncontrollable fear and anxiety. We must give in to the spiritual man and hold fast to the Gospel). I was hitting the window of the van to get his attention. He acknowledged me but didn't make the slightest movement, just sitting very still. (Exo.14:13)... Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.) The beasts lunged at him, and there was still no movement on his part. The beasts were trying to bite him, but they couldn't get a grip. Their teeth were sliding off him. The beasts swung their claws at him, but there was no critical damage, only tiny scratches on the child, which were brought to my attention. (Innocence and submission to the Lord are his defense. (Pro.10:2)... righteousness delivereth from death.) Again, I was aware that I was still in the van, but I was also outside in the child's presence. The child still remained in the same sitting position as I had described and remained still for the entire time. He said nothing and didn't react in any way to defend himself. The beasts couldn't harm him. (Mat.5:39) ...resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.) Suddenly, I looked behind this scene, and I noticed in the distance a small white house on a green grassy mount. (The house the spiritual man lives in is Christ [Heb.3:6]. We are to abide in Him, the Word, the secret place of the Most High.) In front of this house, there was a woman in a white robe inviting me, or beckoning, to partake of something. (The Bride's invitation to partake of the protection of resting in the (Psa.91) Passover by abiding in Christ.) The dream ends. I had the impression, maybe during or after the dream, that this lady looked like my Godmother (I come from an Orthodox Christian religion). Peter's Interpretation The woman in the white garment/robe who resembled my Godmother may very well be reflected by: (Pro.6:20) My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother. The commandments of the Father, based on the New Testament, are life eternal (Joh.12:50), to believe in the name (meaning in Greek: “nature, authority, and character”) of Jesus Christ and love one another (1Jn.3:23). (Of course, the Word defines the steps of love.) I find that these commandments are united to be the same with one another. The law of the mother, based on the New Testament, is the law of faith (Rom.3:27), law of the Spirit of life (Rom.8:2), and the law of Christ (Gal.6:2). Like the commandments, these laws are the same with one another and can be united. Based on the order of events of the dream, I believe the child represents a manifestation and the fruit of the law of faith, of the Spirit, and of the commandments of the Father. All of these are certainly Christ. The child's characteristics and nature reveal the principles of living by faith and the Spirit of life in Christ, which are one with the commandments of the Father. If we submit to the Lord, remain humble, restrain our tongue, and see through our spiritual eyes or senses, we will be walking in Christ, fulfilling the spiritual laws (of faith and of the Spirit of life) and the commandments of the Father. All these spiritual laws are represented by the woman in the white robe who appeared to be my Godmother. She is associated with the white house on the grassy hill or mount. It may have seemed she was inviting me to partake of what was in the house, which is Christ. Just as that little child is associated with the woman, he must have been partaking from that house as well. If the woman represents all the spiritual laws and the commandments of the Father, she must also represent the spotless, blemishless Bride who is in perfect obedience to the laws and commandments of the Father. The Bride is the Word of God, who has manifested Jesus Christ. Her white robe must represent the righteous acts of the saints (Rev.19:8). The righteous acts are works of faith -- walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh. The child and the Bride are one nature because they manifest the wisdom of God, the Word of God; hence, Jesus Christ. Only as a 'child' can we enter the kingdom (Mar.10:15) and only those who walk in the Spirit. Those who are likened unto a child walk in the Spirit. One verse can describe this dream: (Exo.14:13) And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. Whenever we are in tribulation or trial of any form, we should fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. Use our imagination, see it spiritually, believe what the Word says about you. Rest. He has already saved you. Humble yourself, and He shall never forsake you because He is your Father. A father never forsakes his child (Psa.18:2; 94:12-14). (Mat.7:11) If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Thank you, Father, for Your grace and love! I pray that this dream has helped you renew your mind and imagination of who we truly are in Christ. May God bless you all. Fighting the Old Man Eric - 10/11/2006 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was in a classroom, and an old man was teaching the class. (We can't let the old man teach, which in Christianity is most often the case. The class includes ourselves and all who associate with us.) He said to the class, “I don't like that Eric guy. I'm going to challenge him to a wrestling match.” (If we let the old man speak through us, he will gain confidence and strength against us and he will bring us under the curse.) Then he got up and came over to my desk and, looking down on me, said a second time, “I challenge you to a wrestling match”. He was about 7 feet tall, so I followed him outside. (The giant of our old life will challenge us and lead us into battle.) I noticed that nobody in my class was interested in watching the fight. (Most onlookers don't even know the battle between the spirit and flesh is going on inside us.) When I got outside, everything seemed deserted like a ghost town so we walked over to a playground. (As far as man is concerned, we are all alone in this battle.) We began to fight, and he threw a wild right swing at me and missed. (The right side symbolizes spirit, and the arm symbolizes power. This is a fight of spiritual power; the evil spirits in our flesh against the power of the Holy Spirit within us, joining together with our spirit.) I swung back with an uppercut, but missed his jaw because of his height. Then he got me in a headlock but I broke free and grabbed him in a headlock, and he also broke free. (The flesh and spirit taking turns controlling the mind is a double-minded life.) Then we separated and began to circle each other like two wrestlers. We cried out as warriors would cry in a battle and smashed into each other as two sumo wrestlers, but being equally matched in strength, we were both unable to get an advantage. We wrestled like this for what seemed like an hour, and finally we disengaged from each other, very exhausted. (In order to win this battle we must repent of our sins and confess them, which conquers the old fleshly man. 1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Then we must believe the promises of our crucifixion and life in Christ, which strengthens the spiritual man. Without this, there will be no spiritual victory, only exhaustion. (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me...) Looking over, he said to me, “I think this is a draw”. Replying, I said, “I think you are right”, so we both proceeded back to the class, and he announced to them that the battle was a draw. (We can't afford to believe or speak that there is a draw for this leaves us unevenly yoked to the old man in a lukewarm life.) He then said arrogantly, “Eric stood up to me, but I have friends in high places, and I'm going to bring trouble for Eric; you wait and see!” (Gal.5:17) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.) Suddenly, I found myself walking in a city I've never seen before. Somehow, I understood I was walking to my house. I remember the whole city was white, both buildings and cars, but the people walking around were dressed in black. (The unseen “kingdom of God has come nigh” but the people are walking in darkness.) When I arrived at my house, police lines were blocking my way. All manner of law enforcement officers were there. (If we don't beat the old man but leave him in control of the class, we break God's law and have to pay the penalty.) One who appeared to be in charge came up to me and asked, “Are you Eric?” I answered, “Yes, I am, but sometimes I'm not sure”. (We never really know who we are until the old man is dead.) He then said, “You are evicted, and you have to walk around in the street”. (The carnal man has taken over our house.) So then I looked toward heaven and cried out, “Lord, what am I to do without a house?” Then the dream ended. (This is a good teaching the Lord has given to us through Eric. We either put to death the old man, or we eventually lose controlling interest in this house we call a body, and maybe even the house we call a home. A more primitive lifestyle, enforced by the beast, is coming to the Church as a whole because of this lukewarm draw.) In Weakness We Win M.W.- 10/14/2008 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was at a football game. I was part of a team. We were wearing white jerseys, and my teammates were younger kids, for the most part. I remember thinking when I saw my younger teammates, We are going to get killed! The field was on a hill, and it seemed like we were at a higher elevation. As we approached the field, I saw a sign that had the opposing team's name on it. The sign read “ASU”, which is Arizona State University, but during the dream, I didn't think about that; I just noticed “ASU”. If you look up their mascot, you will find that it is the Sun Devils; it is a picture of a devil with a pitchfork. So it was us versus the ASU Sun Devils. Right before the kickoff, I remember being very anxious and again thinking that this might not go well. At first, the field was muddy because I remember our uniforms having some mud on them. We received the ball first and, on a series of plays, marched down to the end of the field of the Sun Devils. I remember that as we moved toward their goal line, it seemed like I was a lot bigger than the ASU players. On the last play that scored the touchdown, I remember thinking, 'Should I play quarterback and maybe throw the ball?' Instead, it was a running play, and I was running just ahead of the running back blocking. It was interesting because I was a grown man, and it was like I was blocking little kids. I blocked several opposing players during the last play, and we scored. It started raining about then, and the Sun Devils forfeited the game. The score was 7-0. After we scored, we were so excited, and it was disappointing to see them forfeit, but it was a relief in a way. I remember watching the last van loaded with gear pull away in the rain and head down the hill. Many are wondering just before the big tribulation game against Satan's fearsome team, how such a small, weak, and immature-looking bunch on God's side could possibly survive, much less win. God's “power is made perfect in weakness.” “Not by might and not by power but by my spirit, saith the Lord.” It is “by my Spirit,” or another way to say it, it is the rain, the Latter Rain, and our weakness that will cause the enemy to forfeit the game. Remember Gideon's army, which God whittled down to 300 men so that in their weakness they would take on an army that was said to be, “like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.” And what was God's reasoning? (Jdg.7:2) And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. (3) Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. So, children are the best to go against the enemy like little David went before Goliath. (Mat.18:3) and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. (4) Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. We must be children in our own strength but wise beyond our years in God's strength. (1 Cor.14:20) Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men. (Eph.6:10) Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. (11) Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. (13) Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. (14) Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (15) and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (16) withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil [one]. (17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (18) with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. The Battle begins... My daughter had a dream, too. She and her grandmother were on a big roller coaster ride, which, in the natural, is scary and goes up and down, which represents the conditions many are about to endure. In the dream, I went up into a tower that overlooked a city. (Zion is called “the tower of the flock” and represents the Bride who will be over the rest of the people of God, as in Esther.) She said that I had a very serious look on my face. I was watching over the city, which I was charged to do by the military. (God's Generals will set watchmen for the enemy.) She joined me in the tower, but later she did go back to the roller coaster. The people in her dream were barefoot. (The Church will return to her primitive roots by not departing from the original Word given. Like Moses, they will take off their shoes to not be separated from Holy Ground.) The Lord Shows His New Models Amos Scaggs - 12/07/2008 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was in a large showroom of a national car company. They were planning and redecorating for a promotion that would be so spectacular it would top any that had been done in the past, and it would keep escalating once it started. (The Lord is about to come out with His new models to show everyone what they, too, can drive. I believe the first-fruits Man-child ministry will be this demonstration. Jesus appeared to show what regeneration looked like.) I had my work done and books organized on my shelves, waiting to see what was going to transpire from this. (We've done the studying and put it in order. Now we are waiting to see what the Lord will show.) I knew it was going to be the biggest thing the world had ever seen, and it was only the first part of the year. I thought, since this is so early in the year, what will the end of the year look like? (The words, “What will the end of the year look like?” implies that something great will grow from this. The baby is born but matures quickly. Many models will be duplicates, symbolizing a revival. In Revelation chapters 12 & 14 the 144,000 man-child body will be duplicates of Jesus to do the greater works He spoke of.) As I was wondering what to do next, I met the Governor, whom I knew. (Jesus will govern from the throne in His earthly body of end-time Davids in a repetition of His-story. (Isa.9:6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (7) Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.) As I was concerned about what to do next, the Governor said, “Don't worry about a thing. Watch me and you will be doing the same things as I do very soon.” (The Governor is a role model and is coming in His Man-child company to be a role model for others to follow in His same steps. (1Jn.2:5) but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him: (6) he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. The Governor said, “This is what I have planned; this is the beginning”. (The words, “this is the beginning,” imply many vehicles will be produced like these models, meaning a revival will spread from here.) I also thought I had something to do with the Buick showroom. David Buick was an inventor and also formed the Buick Mfg. Co. He and William Durant formed the Buick Motor Co., which is now known as General Motors. Durant was a productionist, and Buick was a perfectionist. Buick left the company in 1906 (because it fell short of his expectations) and died broke in 1929. Had Buick been able to keep his shares in 1921, he would have been worth $10 million and today it would be incalculable. Kind of reminds me of Jesus. (He was also a perfectionist, desiring quality not just quantity in His models. He was disappointed in the direction the early Church took and lost His shares in it. He lost out to the productionist's assembly line Christianity mentality.) Buick was quite the ingenious type who had it all but died broke and still formed a new thing that no one had seen before (but we will see Jesus' new thing again very soon :0). Invincibility in Jesus G. W. - 11/20/2010 (David's notes in red) I was in a dream where David Eells and I were in the same house. He was explaining to me that we can get into a car crash and nothing will hurt us. I understood him to be teaching about faith. He then said, “Let's go down this hill to try it out”. We both agreed that we would get into this white truck. It began rolling violently down from the top of the hill. We both were outside of the truck cab in the bed -- I was in the front, and David was toward the back. All of a sudden, we both flipped off. David went backward, and I went forward. As it approached me, the nose of it was facing the ground while the bed of the truck was in the air. I knew that the back section was coming right at me, but I had plenty of time to get out of the way. Instead, I just lay there and watched this disaster come toward me. The whole weight of the truck came crashing down on my midsection. As I looked down, I wondered if this truck had cut me in two, but I felt no pain. David came over and pulled me out from underneath. I stood upon my feet, completely whole. David said, “It can't hurt your rib cage”. Naturally speaking, this seemed impossible; however, I realized that I never felt fear as the disaster unraveled. I had been given a dream very similar to this about invincibility a couple of years ago. Jesus and the Two Witnesses had this gift until it was their time to go. Jesus said, “No man takes my life; I lay it down”. We truly have God's protection if we abide in Him, just as Psalm 91 says. So this is not just a gift to the Man-child but something the Davids, as Man-childs, will teach to the saints, as the dream above appears to say. Some will enjoy this until the Lord comes. This invincibility can take many forms. Around the time of this dream, I was driving home from a meeting at night. I wasn't particularly sleepy, just slightly. As I got close to my house, I suddenly found myself waking up out of a sound sleep, seeing headlights bright in my face. Without thinking, I jerked the wheel to the right and swerved quickly into my own lane, just in time to miss the oncoming car. I was amazed that I could have been asleep at the wheel because I didn't even remember feeling tired enough to have to fight it off. I realized that this was supernatural and that the Lord had shown me that He would protect me without my even knowing about it. It was seconds before it would have been too late to miss a head-on collision. I also noticed, as G.W. did, that I never felt fear. After receiving G. W.'s dream, my daughter, Deborah, and I were on the porch swing talking. It was a common bench-type steel swing. It had a chain coming down from a wooden frame on each end of the bench to an S-hook. From there, a chain went to the front bottom of the bench, and another went to the back top of the bench on each end. As we spoke, I was suddenly thrown backward on my back on the deck, but my head slammed into the metal top of the AC unit, which was off the deck, but the top stuck up about six inches higher than the deck. It was with such force and noise that one would have thought my neck would have broken or my head crushed. On my side of the bench, as one chain held the front bottom, the other that held the back came out of the S-hook. This caused my side of the bench to flip violently backward. My daughter was holding on to her side with her legs wrapped around the bench seat. When she heard the noise and saw me down there, she asked, with big eyes and loudly, “Are you all right?” As I reached up to brace her, I was surprised to be able to say, “I'm just fine”. I then laughingly said, “The Lord said He would give His angels charge over me, lest I dash my foot against a stone, but He didn't say anything about my head”. She asked again, “Are you sure you're alright?” I said, “I'm sure”, as I reached back to feel the back of my head and felt no pain nor even a bruise. As I stood up, I realized that indeed the angels had perfectly protected my head and neck, which easily could have been broken. I never felt any fear, just joy. My daughter said, “There is no blood on the back of your head”. I said, “There isn't even a bruise”. As I began to examine the bench and chain, I saw something even more supernatural. The chain that came loose was in perfect shape, like new, with no wear and no broken links. It was the kind of chain most often used on swings. Each link had a partner, and they were stitched in the middle so that if one link broke, it was still tied to one more link. I was amazed to see there was no broken link. Naturally speaking, this would mean the chain had to come out of the S-hook. However, I examined the S-hook, and it was still closed in the S where the chain was missing. “WOW”, I said, “this is supernatural”. The chain could not be put back in the S because it was still closed up, so I grabbed a screwdriver to spread it open so the chain could be reinserted, but I could not pry it open at all; it was too thick to bend. So I put the S next to the post that held the swing and hammered the screwdriver into the S to spread it so I could put the chain in it. I had to drive it in about 3/4” to get it open enough. How did the chain get out of the S-hook? Only supernaturally! I thought, either the devil just tried to kill me and failed due to Father's faithfulness, or the Lord was just showing me He was keeping me safe. I am sure both were true. I indeed had been in a crash, and the Father kept me perfectly. PTL! By the grace of my God, I have been shot at, at close range by a professional assassin, but my angel slapped the bullet down as he told me. The one who sent the assassin confirmed this. In a wreck, I was thrown from a car going 70 mph, slid about 70 feet on concrete without a scratch, with witnesses. My tractor flipped on the side of our mountain and was going to roll, but impossibly straightened back up with me still in the seat. I believe in Father's guardian angels! More recently, Michael and I were unhitching a back blade, a heavy piece of steel, from the tractor. I got off the tractor and was standing about 15 feet from the blade. Michael was on the other side releasing it, and supernaturally it came flying very fast straight at my head. It hit me right on my nose with force and knocked me back another 10 feet to the ground. Michael said he knew I was dead, but to his surprise, I jumped to my feet like nothing had happened. I told him that what I felt was a finger on my nose pushing me to the ground very fast. My angel, no doubt. In the natural, because of the speed at which it came at me, I would have been dead anyway, but I never felt any pain or incurred any damage. Some of this was because the faction had come together to throw witchcraft at me, but failed. Many of them are dead now. Do you find it hard to believe that spiritual powers, good or bad, can take authority over the natural laws, as seen with this S-hook, my head and neck? Many have been learning that they have authority over physical laws concerning the body and laws of nature, through faith and the spoken Word. In the testimony section of our site are multitudes of testimonies of the saints' healing machinery, bodies, cars, and other physical things, changing weather, changing minds, etc. Jesus taught His disciples to take authority over the laws of nature and to teach others to do so because they are not under the curse. (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Mar.11:23) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. (24) Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (And repent of any sin so you will have power.) (25) And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. (26) [But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.] Jesus commanded His disciples to make disciples of all the nations and teach them to obey all things He taught them, even unto the end. (Mat.28:19) Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations ... (20) teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Now we, as His disciples, must teach disciples to obey all the teachings of Jesus and take authority over the physical laws of the curse to proclaim the Gospel. Amen.
"My story isn't a basketball story, it's a life story." Greg Oden On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, we sit down with former No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick Greg Oden for one of the most honest and powerful conversations of his life. For years, Greg Oden's name has been tied to one word: "bust." Drafted ahead of future MVP and NBA champion Kevin Durant in 2007, Oden became the subject of endless debates about what could have been. But as Durant himself has said, Greg was never truly given a chance—his career was derailed by injuries before the basketball world ever got to see what he could become. In this raw and revealing conversation, Greg reflects on the pressure of being the No. 1 pick, the weight of expectations, and the frustration of seeing his legacy defined by circumstances beyond his control. From his rise as a high school phenom and Ohio State star to the devastating injuries that robbed him of years on the court, Greg shares the emotional and physical battles that shaped his journey. Parts of this conversation bare all as Greg's transparency truly brings his pain and passion to the forefront. He opens up about his time with the Portland Trail Blazers, the criticism and scrutiny that followed him throughout his career, and what it was like earning a second chance with the Miami Heat and reaching the NBA Finals alongside some of the game's biggest names from Lebron James to Dwayne. Wade to Chris Bosh. Beyond basketball, Greg discusses his struggles with mental health, depression, addiction, self-worth, and the challenges of rebuilding his life after the game. He speaks candidly about regrets, losing loved ones, what ifs , public perception, and the process of finding peace with a career that never unfolded the way anyone expected. This episode isn't about what Greg Oden wasn't. It's about who he is, what he endured, and how he found the strength to keep moving forward when the world had already written his story for him. Greg's new chapter is leading as a dedicated father, mentor, college advisor and also filmmaker, with his feature film "Bust" getting ready to release. A powerful conversation about resilience, perspective, redemption, and one of basketball's greatest "what ifs." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Big Shot Bob is LIVE from San Antonio for the NBA Finals, and this episode has that energy all the way through. Robert Horry, seven-time champion, is on-site for Podcast Row — flying in with Danny Green and Malika Andrews — and the boys waste no time getting into it. They kick things off breaking down the Spurs' Game 7 win over OKC — and yes, Chet Holmgren gets the full treatment. Rob says Chet looked like a guy who had something going on off the court, comparing him to a boxer who famously broke down mid-fight. Zero field goal attempts in the second half on a team that needed him? Hard to defend. Meanwhile, San Antonio's Slash Brothers (Castle and Harper) and a 20-point Champagnie performance pushed them through to the Finals. Then it's on to the NBA Finals preview — Spurs vs. Knicks. Rob and Brandon both lay out their cases for each team, get into what KAT has to do defensively against Wemby, why Castle turning the ball over could be fatal, and whether the Knicks' 11-game playoff win streak means anything against a team this different. Rob calls it: Spurs in six. Brandon hedges: Spurs in seven. They both agree — the Knicks' best shot is pace, pace, pace. They also get into the Miles Garrett trade to the Rams, A.J. Brown heading back to the Patriots, Apple TV potentially coming after NFL rights, and Wembanyama's looming extension — a $251M base deal that could hit $301M with incentives. The Alamo jokes write themselves. Big Shot of the Week goes to Arnett Johnson — a man who was unhoused in Miami and still stopped everything to help a lost six-year-old boy find his way home. Real one. And Rapid Fire is BACK, and somebody ends it at the buzzer on Captain Crunch. No spoilers on who.

Nous sommes le 30 novembre 1718, devant la forteresse de Fredriksten en Norvège. La nuit est glaciale. Aux alentours de vingt-deux heures, une balle traverse la tempe de Charles XII, le roi de Suède. Cette balle met fin à la vie du dernier roi guerrier d'Europe, à seulement trente-six ans. L'événement sonne le glas de la première puissance de la Baltique. Sacré monarque absolu à quinze ans, Charles XII n'aura connu que trois années de paix avant de se jeter dans la Grande Guerre du Nord, dès 1700. A dix-huit ans, il quitte Stockholm pour ne jamais y revenir. Durant dix-huit autres années, il va mener ses armées sur le front de combats incessants. De la victoire éclatante de Narva, en Estonie, au désastre de Poltava, en Ukraine. Le souverain a vécu au rythme des camps militaires, refusant le faste pour l'uniforme bleu des simples soldats. A la fois combattant au cœur de la mêlée, capitaine encadrant ses troupes, et stratège décidant du sort des nations. Après avoir traversé l'Europe, il connait l'exil chez les Ottomans après la déroute en Russie. Admiré pour sa simplicité quasi ascétique et sa piété sans faille, il fut surnommé l'« Alexandre du Nord ». Pourtant, son mépris du danger et son refus obstiné de négocier ont conduit son royaume au bord de l'abîme et il demeure, aujourd'hui, l'un des personnages les plus controversés de l'histoire suédoise. Son règne marque la fin d'une époque pour l'ensemble du monde nordique. Avec Éric Schnakenbourg, professeur d'histoire moderne à Nantes Université. « CHARLES XII - Roi de Suède et homme de guerre » ; Perrin. sujets traités : Charles XII, roi, guerrier, empire, Suède, Nord, Stockholm, Ottomans Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

On Episode 520 of State of the New York Knicks Podcast, I break down the Knicks' Game 3 victory over the Cavaliers as New York takes a commanding 3-0 lead in the series and moves one step closer to the NBA Finals. Jalen Brunson once again led the way with 30 points, 6 assists, and a +15 plus/minus while relentlessly attacking the defense and controlling the tempo throughout the game. I discuss Brunson's continued postseason brilliance, including becoming the first player since Kevin Durant in 2018 to record a postseason plus/minus of +200. I also talk about the historical significance of this win, as the Knicks have never held a 3-0 lead in an Eastern Conference Finals series, while no team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series. Join me as I talk with Knicks fans about the biggest takeaways from Game 3, the standout performances, key adjustments, and what New York needs to do to finish the job.

So many celebrities claim they don't bother with the internet...but I've always thought that can't be true! The internet is so addictive and enticing and sometimes a crack in the matrix happens and we find proof that celebrities ARE online...but with burner accounts! Today I break down documented cases of celebrities, politicians, CEOs, and athletes getting caught tweeting from fake accounts, and explore the reasons why this might be. Kevin Durant's decade-long burner career. Mitt Romney as Pierre Delecto. The Whole Foods CEO who spent eight years on Yahoo Finance message boards. And Elon Musk, who apparently tweets as his baby, his mother, his father, a German man named Adrian, and an attack dog named babysmurf9000.
In this episode of Talk Nerdy, Cara is joined by writer and researcher focused on bees, agriculture, and the environment, Dr. Jennie Durant. They discuss her new book, Bitter Honey: Big Ag's Threat to Bees and the Fight to Save Them. Follow Jennie: @jennie.durant

The guys discuss the roster-building process, the decision to trade for Kevin Durant, and whether Stone deserves the benefit of the doubt as Houston transitions from rebuilding to chasing championships. ITL weighs his biggest successes, biggest misses, and whether Rockets fans should feel confident in where the franchise is headed. Then it's Figgy's Mixtape, featuring a discussion about common sayings that people probably shouldn't accept without questioning, a mother discovering $4,000 hidden in her teenage daughter's room & more.
ITL reacts to a pivotal weekend for the Houston Astros and asks whether the team finally passed a meaningful test against quality competition. The guys debate whether Houston's recent surge is enough to change expectations or if there are still too many concerns to fully buy in. The conversation then shifts to the Houston Texans and whether DeMeco Ryans remains too focused on the defensive side of the ball as Houston enters a season with massive expectations. Around The NFL features discussion surrounding trade rumors involving A. J. Brown, increasing speculation around Myles Garrett, and a possible reunion between Odell Beckham Jr. and the New York Giants. ITL also debates the biggest mistakes the Astros have made over the last several years and which decisions have contributed most to the team's current situation. Later, the guys tackle a fascinating Texans question: if push comes to shove, is the organization more loyal to C. J. Stroud or to the offensive system being built by Nick Caley? Luke Mauro makes the case that he'd absolutely watch a How To Catch A Predator movie, sparking a hilarious discussion about whether the concept would actually work on the big screen and who would line up to see it, while Winners & Losers of the Weekend hands out praise and criticism from across sports and entertainment. The show wraps up with a debate over whether Rafael Stone has earned the trust of Houston Rockets fans following the team's recent moves, including the acquisition of Kevin Durant.

Plus, the QOTD asks listeners: What's the worst summer vacation you've ever been on?
La Colombie a vécu une soirée électorale à suspense, dimanche 31 mai 2026. Le favori des sondages, le candidat de la gauche Ivan Cepeda, est finalement arrivé derrière celui d'extrême droite Abelardo de la Espriella. Ivan Cepeda et Abelardo de la Espriella ont jusqu'au 21 juin 2026 pour convaincre les abstentionnistes et les électeurs des autres camps. Paloma Valencia, candidate de la droite traditionnelle, arrivée troisième avec un peu moins de 7% des voix, a déjà annoncé qu'elle le soutenait. Oubliés les coups échangés pendant la campagne, ce qui compte aujourd'hui, c'est de chasser la gauche du pouvoir – le « néo-communisme », comme elle dit. Idem pour le puissant et ancien président Alvaro Uribe, mentor de Paloma Valencia. Tout comme de plusieurs figures à droite qui se sont prononcés en faveur du millionnaire, novice en politique. Parmi les candidats du centre, certains ont demandé du temps pour réfléchir, se concerter avec leurs équipes. D'autres ont pour habitude de ne pas donner de consignes de vote à leurs électeurs. Et quand bien même ils en donneraient, pas sûr que les électeurs y soient sensibles. Explications de Marine de La Moissonnière, du service International de RFI. En Haïti, l'hôpital de Cité Soleil rouvre ses portes Après plus de deux semaines de fermeture forcée en raison de la détérioration de la situation sécuritaire dans la Plaine du Cul-de-Sac, l'organisation Médecins sans Frontières s'apprête à rouvrir son hôpital de Cité Soleil, ce lundi 1er juin. Durant cette période, les affrontements entre groupes armés ont fortement perturbé l'accès aux soins pour des milliers d'habitants et mis sous pression plusieurs structures sanitaires de la région métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince. Cette fermeture a privé de soins de nombreux habitants et soulevé des inquiétudes quant à la prise en charge des patients dans une zone particulièrement affectée par l'insécurité. Quel a été l'impact de cette fermeture sur les activités de MSF ? Comment les patients ont-ils été pris en charge durant cette période ? Et quelles sont aujourd'hui les attentes de l'organisation vis-à-vis des autorités haïtiennes ? Entretien avec Thomas Curbillon, chef de mission de Médecins sans Frontières en Haïti. Il est interrogé par notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama. Le leader indigène nicaraguayen Brooklyn Rivera mort en détention Au Nicaragua, on a appris dimanche 31 mai la mort en détention de Brooklyn Rivera. Il était l'un des plus importants leaders indigènes nicaraguayens. Il était le chef historique du peuple Miskito, la plus grande communauté autochtone du pays, et le cofondateur du parti Yatama, qui défend les droits des peuples autochtones. Il était emprisonné depuis trois ans pour avoir alerté sur le sort des populations autochtones lors d'une conférence à l'ONU. Eclairage de François-Damien Bourgery, du service International de RFI.

Hour 1 opens with frustration over another Marlins loss despite piling up 11 hits, as Joe Rose praises the strong seasons from Otto Lopez and Xavier Edwards while also highlighting Max Meyer's breakout year on the mound. The conversation then shifts to college football, where Joe sounds off on the lack of structure in today's game, arguing for stricter transfer rules, consequences for gambling violations, and limitations on players returning after going pro, while questioning whether the NCAA still has any real authority. The guys also preview Spurs vs. Thunder Game 6 and debate the difference in buzz between the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Final, including discussion about flopping in basketball and how Stephen Curry changed the sport with the rise of the three-point shot. Plus, the crew dives into Heat trade rumors surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo, discussing whether he'd be willing to embrace the “villain” role that came with stars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant changing teams.
The guys dive into the latest Heat trade rumors as speculation continues to grow around Giannis Antetokounmpo and a possible move to Miami. Joe Rose says if Giannis truly wants to become a member of the Heat, he may eventually need to publicly push for a trade, but questions whether Giannis wants the backlash and “villain” label that often comes with superstar player movement. The conversation looks back at how LeBron James became one of the most hated athletes in America after taking his talents to Miami, while Kevin Durant faced similar criticism after joining Golden State. Joe explains why he thinks Giannis is viewed differently than some other superstars and discusses how certain star players receive different treatment from organizations, fans, and media depending on the situation.
0:00 ... The All-NBA Teams were announced over the weekend and the crew does a lightning round commenting on all the members of the first team. Cade Cunningham, SGA, Nikola Jokic, Wemby, and Luka Doncic make up the first team. Bruce has a big issue with one of the first teamers. 5:21 ... The All NBA Second team consists of Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard. The guys wondered if aging Kawhi Leonard can have another All-NBA season at age 34 after this season's great performance. 12:44 ... The All-NBA third team consists of Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Johnson, Jamal Murray, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Duren. Duren making the third team could really affect his contract negotiations with the Pistons due to the 3rd Team honor making him eligible for a Super Max contract worth $48 million more than he would have qualified for had he not been honored as an All-NBA performer.

The discussion about Giannis continues into the third hour as the gang discusses more on why him in Cleveland will not work; and debate who the Miami Heat could land during the off season.

We are then joined by Angelo Leo the IBF Featherweight Champion to discuss his canceled fight earlier this month and his upcoming fight!

0:00 ... Ross Geiger says hello and introduces co-hosts Bruce Bernstein and Michael "World B" Freer. Show #250 is dedicated to Trey Jemison of the Knicks, who wears #50 for the newly crowned NBA Eastern Conference Champs. 1:07 ... Knicks fan World B shares his thoughts on his team making the Finals after a 26 season drought. 2:10 ... World B had predicted the Knicks to make the Finals in his preseason picks and his aim was true! 3:39 ... Ross tees up a discussion on how the Knicks have grown so much as a team. 4:24 ... Bruce is happiest for Knicks head coach Mike Brown who has led the team to record breaking performances in the playoffs. And they didn't really want to hire him to replace Tom Thibodeau prior to the season but all the other coaches they wanted to interview were not given permission from their teams to speak to New York about the job. So Brown was hired by default and it was a move that has succeeded wildly. 6:16 ... World B gives Brown credit for retooling the Knicks' offensive system and he reels off the numbers that prove it. 8:47 ... Ross wonders whether the Knicks upcoming layoff (as they wait for their Finals opponent) will kill their great momentum? Both Bruce and World B feel like the Knicks are sitting pretty. Ross is concerned how they'll handle any offensive dry spells against the Spurs and Thunder. 13:49 ... If the Spurs beat OKC and play New York in the Finals, Bruce feels like the Knicks will use Karl Anthony-Towns to draw Victor Wembanyama away from the hoop on defense which could allow New York to operate successfully closer to the hoop. 14:48 ... Bruce marvels at how Wemby guards the entire opposing team and how God must be a Spurs fan with Wemby succeeding Tim Duncan and David Robinson as the latest generational big man in San Antonio. 16:37 ... World B reacts to the Spurs big win in game 4 with Wemby leading the way once again. 18:09 ... Bruce points out how Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has struggled offensively against the Spurs and with two key teammates like Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell battling health issues, the Spurs will continue to "throw the kitchen sink" at SGA if they miss more action. The result will be to wear SGA down and that will mean big trouble for OKC. Ross adds some perspective to the OKC offensive struggles. 20:11 ... World B explains how the return of De'Aaron Fox has been really important as far as the offense running smoothly. Ross feels like game 5 is a "must win" game for the Thunder. 22:40 ... Bruce points out that all the NBA awards have been announced except for Coach of the Year and he hopes his preseason prediction of Mitch Johnson winning the award might come true with a trophy presentation prior to game 6 in San Antonio. 24:09 ... The All-NBA Teams were announced over the weekend and the crew does a lightning round commenting on all the members of the first team. Cade Cunningham, SGA, Nikola Jokic, Wemby, and Luka Doncic make up the first team. Bruce has a big issue with one of the first teamers. 29:31 ... The All NBA Second team consists of Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard. The guys wondered if aging Kawhi Leonard can have another All-NBA season at age 34 after this season's great performance. 36:53 ... The All-NBA third team consists of Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Johnson, Jamal Murray, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Duren. Duren making the third team could really affect his contract negotiations with the Pistons due to the honor making him eligible for a Super Max contract worth $48 million more than he would have qualified for had he not been honored as an All-NBA performer. 45:16 ... We examine the All Defensive teams for the season. The first teamers are Wemby, Holmgren, Ausar Thompson, Derrick White, and Rudy Gobert. Bruce has a summer assigmnent for Thompson. 49:29 ... The second teamers are Scottie Barnes, Cason Wallace, Bam Adebayo, OG Anunoby, and Dyson Daniels. 52:39 ... Final Thoughts: Bruce on how Wemby's main "superpower" cannot be measured by analytics. World B on how the Orlando Magic's search for a new coach is still wide open with many potential great candidates in the mix. Ross closes with his thoughts on two former NBA players facing off in an MMA match in Las Vegas over the weekend. 56:56 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye.

Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer are back with Good Take on the RealGM Radio, starting with their reactions to the Oklahoma City Thunder taking Game 2 of the Western Conference finals vs the San Antonio Spurs. Mike opens with a bold free agency prediction. Then Wes argues that NBA teams are realizing something important: it's almost impossible to win a championship when your best player is over 30. From Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama, to Jalen Brunson and Donovan Mitchell, the league is shifting toward younger stars. What does that mean for Giannis trade offers, Kawhi Leonard's market, Kevin Durant's next move and teams like the Cavaliers or Rockets? Plus, Wes makes the case for Durant becoming the NBA's John Wick, and the guys lay out three ways to fix the Dallas Mavericks this offseason.
