Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham says he doesn't hate Ohio State. Do you?

Stoney and Rico went through the preseason top-25 CFB poll before shifting to a conversation about Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham's comments about his lack of hatred of rival Ohio State.

With Boomer out today, it's Gio & Jerry starting with the MLB trade deadline: what the Yankees got, what they didn't, and whether it signals anything about the returns of Aaron Judge or Giancarlo Stanton, alongside all the players the Mets traded away. C-Lo steps in for Jerry for his first update, leading with newest Yankee Luis Garcia Jr. homering in his first game as a Yankee—though the Yanks went down 6-0, took a 7-6 lead, and lost. Plus, Brian Cashman addresses when Judge is coming back, David Stearns explains why they kept Luis Robert Jr., and a caller in the final segment points out that the Red Sox and Rays acquired catchers, which is exactly what the Yankees needed.

Could it be that Judge and Stanton are not coming back this season?

The trade deadline has passed & the Yankees barely made any moves to fix their biggest holes. Does Brian Cashman lack urgency? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Trump just called off a massive weekend attack on Iran after Gulf allies begged him to stand down, saying a deal was imminent. Now Iran is out here claiming no talks are even planned. President Trump told reporters the strike was ready to go, but Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and even Iran itself asked him to pull back because they thought a deal covering the Strait of Hormuz and the nuclear program was close. He said negotiations were set to begin Monday afternoon. Hours later, Iran's Foreign Ministry flat-out denied it — no talks scheduled, no negotiators moving, nothing. Iran's foreign minister is conveniently on a pilgrimage and unavailable. Classic. This is the same regime that has been choking global energy markets and racing toward a bomb. Trump is keeping the military option hot while testing whether Iran is serious or just playing the same old game. Regular Americans watching oil prices, Israel's security, and another endless Middle East mess need to understand what is actually happening here. Pat also covered: "Spider-Man" crushes record — is the “superhero fatigue” narrative finally dead? Day 51: Mitch McConnell is still MIA … and no one in D.C. seems to care.

How do you define "excellence" in a church tech ministry?

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral Virtue This episode focuses specifically on the distinction he draws between the vice of intemperance (akolasia) and the other bad, but not vicious moral state of lack of self-control (akrasia). Similarly to his treatment of the virtue of temperance and the state of self control, he notes that the two main parts of the human soul involved are disposed differently. In both states, the lower, irrational part of the soul is in bad shape, but in lack of self-control, the higher, rational part is still functioning properly, simply overwhelmed by the passions or desires. In the vice of intemperance, the rational part itself has become corrupted, and not only agrees with the passion, but encourages it.

Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 1987 baseball film "Long Gone." They introduce the film (1:10), with an overview of the story, the cast, and filmmakers, and review the 20-80 baseball scouting grades for rating the film, with a new metaphor (7:10). Amount of Baseball (11:43) praises the substance and variety of the baseball scenes, with their good emphasis on defense and attention to detail. Baseball Accuracy (21:13) bemoans the lack of acknowledgement for Cecil Cantrell as the Shohei Ohtani player manager of the Alabama-Florida league. Other things about the Class D Alabama-Florida league are correct, except the existence of the Dothan Cardinals in 1957, and the Browns spring training in 1946. Do pitchers ever become catchers? A historic dive into Smoky Joe Wood, Bob Feller, and the possibility of Stud Cantrell and Stan Musial coming up together. There are both mathematical and factual problems with the number of games that the Class D League played, and Brown's RBI total (w/r/t Hack Wilson record). Joe Lewis Brown resonances with Joe Lewis, Jackie Robinson, and Jack Johnson. This movie has appropriate disdain for the intentional walk, but falls victim to a common baseball film error. A rare corresponding roster move doesn't quite pan out. Storytelling (57:55) comments on the skillful exposition and braiding of human and baseball storytelling, along with growth for the major characters, and the classical comedy double wedding ending. Did the Cardinals sign off on this? Delicacy of dealing with racial issues in a comedy. What do they have on Stud? Why wreck the car? Plus other unanswered questions. The Score Tool (1:26:36) suffers from the problem of an 80s score in a movie about the 50s. Eric dives in on Hank Williams' "Long Gone," and the hymns in the film. Acting (1:35:07) discusses the performances of Virginia Madsen, William Petersen, Larry Riley, Dermot Mulroney, Henry Gibson, Teller, Robert Easton, Edward Blatchford, and Ronn Allen. Delightfulness of Catcher (1:45:53) assesses the superb Joe Lewis Brown, played by Larry Riley. Delightfulness of Announcer (1:47:14) is non-zero. Lack of Misogyny (1:48:25) considers the misogyny displayed in the actions and words of Stud Cantrell, and, to a lesser extent, Jamie, as balanced with their growth. Some examination of the film's attitude towards Dixie, and her Boxxstory/backstory.  No spoilers on the following segments: Yes or No (1:59:04), Six Degrees of Baseball (2:04:00), Favorite Moment (2:05:41) Least Favorite Moment (2:07:14), Scene We Would Have Liked to See (2:10:08), Dreamiest Player (2:11:39), Favorite Performance (2:12:32), and Next Time (2:14:50).         Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

God wants that best for us! Jeremiah 29:11 speaks of that! For the plans He has for us is to prosper us not hinder us. Yet, oftentimes we encounter spiritual roadblocks in life that can either benefit us or stagnate us depending on how we handle them. We can either let go and let God or hold on and dig ourselves into a deeper situation. And even then, through Christ, we can still come out victorious, but it takes denial of self.Ultimately, Our Heavenly Father wants us to be spiritually healthy, faith filled, and obedient to His purpose and plan for our lives. 3 John 1:2 tells us this very thing. "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers". That includes every obstacle or spiritual roadblock that we will ever encounter. Afterall, Jesus paid the unrepayable price so that we can live righteously, victoriously, and experience eternal life.Series: How To Identify Your Spiritual Roadblocks

Athletes Unlimited announced Friday afternoon that...they were cancelling the 2027 season. According to a statement released by Athletes Unlimited...their 2027 season was cancelled due to women's basketball thriving. But we believe Athletes Unlimited is shutting down...due to a complete lack of interest. We react to Athletes Unlimited cancelling their 2027 season. We discuss the so-called popularity of women's basketball...and the oversaturation of the market. We also explain why Unrivaled could be the next league to shutdown...and why the 2027 season could be the final season for Unrivaled.

Why do so many people change for a season and then go right back to who they were? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach break down why lasting transformation is so much harder than a 30-day challenge, a motivational burst, or a new program. For Christian men, real change starts with belief: God has a plan for your life, and part of that plan is that you would grow, develop, and become different. You are not locked into who you have been, what people said about you, or the patterns you keep repeating.Nick and Garrett unpack the mindset behind change and why so many men get trapped by phrases like “I'm not like that” or “I can't change.” Following Jesus begins with faith, and transformation works the same way. You have to believe change is possible before you will ever pay the price required to become new. God's purpose for your life includes sanctification, growth, obedience, and development, but that does not mean He does everything for you. God is sovereign, but man is responsible. There is a part only God can do, and there is a part every man has to choose.This episode gives a clear framework for why men stay stuck: sin, skill, and suffering. Sin can chain you to old patterns. Lack of skill can keep you from knowing what to do. Refusal to suffer can keep you from enduring long enough to see fruit. If you want to grow in faith, purpose, discipline, masculinity, leadership, marriage, business, health, or your walk with Jesus, you have to stop looking for easy and start embracing the process. Change comes when a man obeys what God has made clear, develops the skills required, and refuses to grow weary in doing good until the harvest comes.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereGet a Free 7 Day Trial On The Tailored Training App By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereLevel up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

The core message is that salespeople already have friends but lack strong leaders, and managers who prioritize being liked over being respected ultimately hurt their team's earnings and performance.Leadership over friendship: Managers must position themselves closer to the "serious/leader" side of the spectrum, not the middle.Respect is the primary goal; being liked is optional and secondary.To truly care for salespeople = make them more money, not be their buddy.Accountability dies when salespeople view their manager as a peer — they feel no consequence for goofing off or underperforming.Managers lose the ability to coach firmly after being overly friendly; switching to "boss mode" lacks credibility.Why managers fall into the trap:Miss the camaraderie after being promoted; leadership gets lonelier at higher levels.Lack of confidence in management skills — compensate by being likable.Fear of appearing "too corporate" after dealership buyouts.Overcorrecting against distant managers they experienced as salespeople.Stop joining gossip sessions — redirect energy toward calls, appointments, and productivity.Replace casual hangouts with structured one-on-ones: use downtime for walk-around practice, product knowledge, and closing drills.Create intentional distance from group hangouts; be visibly working from clock-in to clock-out.Set daily expectations, not micromanagement: assign goals (e.g., fresh ups logged, appointments set, social media updates), then check in mid-day.Hold everyone equally accountable — no favorites.Stronger culture: everyone understands their role and arrives ready to work.Higher standards: salespeople self-motivate to earn the manager's approval and recognition.Salespeople grow because someone finally holds them to a higher standard and targets (e.g., $20K/month)Manager gains more respect — not buddy-buddy texts, but genuine on-floor motivation to perform.Manager stops carrying the emotional weight of trying to be universally liked.How do managers navigate having a hard conversation with a close ally in the sales department who is underperforming without damaging the working relationship?Sales Managers: Reflect on whether friendship was chosen over leadership this month — identify 2–3 missed coaching moments.Sales Managers: Schedule structured one-on-ones during slow periods instead of defaulting to casual hangouts. 11Sales Managers: Set clear daily expectations for each salesperson and follow up mid-shift.Buy Kyle A Coffee☕️: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/poor2pro⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

26 The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord's people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.Colossians 1:26-27  Teaching Text: 2 Cor 3:12-18, 12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.  O God, O God,The plan which You had from the beginning, regarding Your Kimyals,which already existed in Your Spirit.The month that You had set, the day that You had set, has come to pass today.O my Father, my Father,the promise that You gave Simeon that he would see Jesus Christand hold Him in his arms before he died.I also have been waiting under that same promise, O God.You looked at all the different languages and chose which ones will be put into Your Word.You thought that we should see Your Word in our language.Today, the day You had chosen for this to be fulfilled, has come to pass.O God, today You have placed Your Word into my hands, just like You promised.You have placed it here in our land.And for all this, O God, I give You praise.The truth is…Christ...IN.YOU.Not over there.Not one day.Not after you get your life together.Christ in you.The hope of glory.This is where striving begins to die.   Christianity doesn't begin with obtaining more of Christ.It begins by discovering that He has already given Himself to you completely. 2 Cor 3:12-18, 12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.  "The gospel is the declaration that Jesus Christ has come to do for us what we could never do for ourselves." — Tim Keller.  Revelation 3:20,”20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” To my hurt. (Sin & Pain)To my longing. (Searching for Purpose) Matthew 6:19-21,”19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.  To my soul. (Desire for Perfect Love) 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, ”Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”- He holds our soul perfectly and fulfills our desire for soul care truly.   Genesis 1:1-5,”1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.”   Hebrews 4:12-16,”12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. 14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”  2 Cor 3:17,” Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”  Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”   John 10:9-11,”9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear — the popular two-term Democrat in a deep-red state and a name increasingly floated for 2028 — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation that opens with Kentucky's famous Fancy Farm Picnic and the increasingly countercultural idea that political disagreement shouldn't make people enemies. Beshear turns pointed on Mitch McConnell, who he says has been absent for six weeks without speaking to him, arguing that McConnell has a fundamental duty to level with the people of Kentucky about his condition.. Beshear notes the governor has no authority to declare a vacancy, calls on John Thune to help put the concerns to rest, and observes pointedly that if the situation were reversed, McConnell would be ruthlessly tactical about it — and that the right should arguably be angrier, since it's one fewer vote for the GOP agenda. Beshear reflects at length and with real emotion on the COVID years, which he calls the war of our time with a higher casualty rate than most Americans appreciate, credits Kentucky's expanded Medicaid with keeping the state from running out of hospital beds, and warning that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will close 35 hospitals in Kentucky alone. He's sharply critical of Rand Paul for dragging Fauci into character-assassination hearings while staying conspicuously silent on McConnell, and reminds listeners it was Trump who ordered governors to shut down the economy, not Fauci. The conversation turns to Beshear's political philosophy and the road ahead for Democrats. He rejects the "moderate" label in favor of "pragmatic," arguing that the constant battle to label everyone misses how much more complicated reality actually is. Beshear makes the case that Democrats don't win by becoming a Democratic version of McConnell or Trump, that the party needs to be the party of making the economy work again, and that it should champion structural reforms like campaign finance amendments, outlawing gerrymandering, and directly electing the president. He's visibly frustrated with Democrats who blame other Democrats when Republicans are the ones doing the damage — there's no time for "woulda-couldas," he argues, when Trump and the GOP are inflicting this much harm. As a leader in the Democratic Governors Association, Beshear lays out where he sees real opportunity: big resources heading into Georgia, the critical importance of Katie Hobbs winning in Arizona to ensure a fair 2028 election, and the DGA's willingness to spend anywhere it can win. He addresses the data center backlash as fundamentally rooted in anxiety about AI and big tech's failure to talk to the communities it moves into, and stays characteristically coy about his own 2028 ambitions.

Chuck Todd argues Republicans and the White House are frantically trying to manufacture headlines about the past precisely because the actual news of the present is terrible for the GOP, and because the very issues that got Trump elected are the ones he's now ignoring. Democrats are winning heading into the midterms, TChuck says; the only real question is by how much, which is exactly why Republicans are so desperate to feed their base culture-war red meat as a distraction. But the story Chuck argues is being dangerously underplayed is the Iran war, which is no longer a regional conflict at all: close to thirty countries have been directly involved, multiple nations have been hit, and the Iran and Ukraine wars have effectively merged through shared supply chains — Russia has launched thousands of Iranian-made drones at Ukraine, improved and manufactured them, and is now shipping them back to Iran, while Ukrainian air defense teams have been redeployed to the Middle East and the American stockpile of interceptor missiles has been so massively depleted that commanders are rationing them. He calls the war the dumbest mistake a president has made in decades, while rising oil prices help both Iran and Russia.. It's not World War III, he cautions, but it's genuinely hard to see how it ends, and Congress should be singularly focused on it and simply isn't. He then pivots to what he calls a politics of AI that hasn't been invented yet, where the public is way ahead of the politicians: 72% of Americans have used AI in the past three months and like it, but the vast majority don't trust big tech or the AI companies, and the fierce backlash against data centers is really the manifestation of a deeper anger ever since tech companies stopped trying to improve lives and started maximizing engagement. The public isn't rejecting AI, he argues, it's rejecting the technologists, and Trump has planted himself firmly on the side of the tech companies over the public. He closes by lamenting that political energy is being spent on Fauci rather than pandemic preparedness — before quick hits on Todd Achilles getting a one-on-one race in Idaho, Seth Bodnar leading in Montana if the Democrat can be coaxed into dropping out, and the question hanging over Michigan: if Abdul El-Sayed loses, will it have been because of Mamdani's Israel speech? Then, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear — the popular two-term Democrat in a deep-red state and a name increasingly floated for 2028 — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation that opens with Kentucky's famous Fancy Farm Picnic and the increasingly countercultural idea that political disagreement shouldn't make people enemies.

Gregory Copley turns to the UK, where following the rise of Prime Minister Andy Burnham, the country faces political uncertainty as Labour struggles with a lack of growth. Copley highlights King Charles III's vital role as a unifying force, focusing on British national identity and values. While the Burnham government is viewed as sclerotic and ideological, the King remains an egalitarian figure. His efforts to preserve heritage, like Dumfries House, bolster his standing. (12)1903

Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio assess Somali officials' claim of the death of Maalim Ibrahim, a co-founder of al-Shabaab and a key military planner who held many executive hats. However, Weiss cautions that such claims often lack third-party verification and may be false. The US is currently threatening to cut funding for the UN mission in Somaliadue to a perceived lack of progress against the group and pervasive internal political corruption. (3)

  Nick Lloyd concludes with the arrival of General John J. Pershing and the American Expeditionary Force in 1917, which fundamentally shifted the war's atmosphere despite the initial lack of a prepared army. Pershing famously resisted "amalgamation," refusing to allow American soldiers to serve directly under French or British officers, insisting instead on a semi-independent American command. By 1918, the sheer volume of American manpower convinced Germanleadership that the war was lost, as the German army began to fall apart under the pressure of Foch's coordinated multinational attacks. Lloyd explicitly debunks the "Stab in the Back" legend, asserting that the German military was decisively defeated on the battlefield and sued for peace due to exhaustion. Although the Allies chose an armistice rather than a costly invasion of Germany, this decision was based on the total exhaustion of the British and French forces rather than a lack of military victory.
