Jim McDonald hosts this Sponsor Spotlight episode of Identity at the Center, made possible with support from Twine Security. Jim is joined by Benny Porat, co-founder and CEO of Twine Security and previously co-founder and CTO of Claroty. Benny shares how his cybersecurity background led him into identity and explains the concept of the "execution gap," the space where identity teams are accountable for outcomes but lack the full business context to act on their own. The conversation explores Twine Security's AI digital employee, Alex, and how it differs from traditional automation and RPA, where AI-driven execution fits best within identity operations today, and the balance between the parts of a task AI can handle easily versus the harder remaining work. Benny and Jim also dig into governance and trust, including why least privilege matters even more for AI agents and non-human identities, how organizations typically start with read-only access before expanding permissions, and how access reviews and recertification could evolve as AI takes on more of the process. They close with reflections on measuring success, how the identity practitioner's role changes as more execution shifts to AI, and a lighter round on what a personal AI digital employee might look like.Connect with Benny: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bennyporat/Learn more about Twine Security: https://www.twinesecurity.com/Connect with us on LinkedIn:Jim McDonald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmcdonaldpmp/Jeff Steadman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffsteadman/Visit the show on the web at idacpodcast.com00:00 - Introduction and welcoming Benny Porat, co-founder and CEO of Twine Security00:52 - How Benny found his way into identity and access management02:21 - The origin of the name Twine03:28 - Defining the IAM execution gap05:53 - AI digital employees versus RPA and automation08:07 - Where AI digital employees are best suited today09:45 - Why AI is strong at eighty percent and what makes the rest difficult14:45 - Where a digital employee like Alex fits within identity operations18:43 - Trust, governance, and giving AI agents the right permissions21:42 - Applying least privilege to AI agents and non-human identities25:19 - How organizations start using Alex, from read-only to full execution30:27 - Rethinking the role of access reviews with AI involved33:14 - Measuring efficiency gains and revocation rate improvements36:00 - Addressing concerns about AI replacing IAM practitioners39:12 - How customers define and measure success44:15 - How the practitioner's day-to-day role changes with AI agents47:12 - Closing thoughts and where to learn more47:37 - Lighter note: imagining a personal AI digital employeeKeywords: IDAC, Identity at the Center, Jeff Steadman, Jim McDonald, Benny Porat, Twine Security, Sponsor Spotlight, AI digital employee, Alex, identity and access management, IAM, execution gap, least privilege, access reviews, recertification, agentic AI, non-human identity, NHI, Claroty, IGA, PAM, governance, human in the loop

Razor Wire News hosts Fitz and McShane recap a chaotic week mixing major geopolitical narratives with bizarre tabloid stories and show banter. Fitz wishes his mother a happy birthday, while they preview topics including a Venezuela oil deal, renaming Lake Ontario as “Lake of America,” and intensified China-related narratives (election manipulation, audio hijacking, bot farms, and data-center issues). They discuss U.S.–Canada tariff disputes, claiming longstanding Canadian tariffs are higher than U.S. increases, and suggest Alberta may separate from Canada due to oil restrictions. They argue the Venezuela deal undercuts China and Russia, could help refill the SPR, and better matches Gulf Coast refinery needs, though they disagree on near-term gas-price impacts and note U.S. infrastructure limits. They cover claims the FBI eliminated a 1.8 million DNA-forensics backlog but question how and what it means for investigations. The hosts react positively to reports of tax crackdowns targeting George Soros nonprofits, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and CAIR, while noting Scott Bessent's past ties to Soros. Other topics include Portland Antifa labeled domestic terrorists, a Tibet–Nepal glacier flood disaster with large death and missing counts, and skepticism toward climate-change framing. Lighter segments include beer reviews (a disappointing pumpkin-spice scotch ale, Dragon's Milk Coconut Rum Barrel Reserve, and a Russian Imperial stout), a “fart corner” classroom story, a Los Angeles proposal for homeless sexual-relief clinics, masking hours at San Francisco's Exploratorium, Pennsylvania Gov.

You know you don't want to keep doing it, but somehow you keep doing the same thing anyway.Maybe you keep overcommitting. Maybe you push through when you need to stop. Maybe asking for help still feels harder than doing everything yourself. You know the pattern, but knowing hasn't been enough to change it.Because sometimes the thing we keep trying to change is also the thing that once helped us feel safe. And when we understand what that pattern has been doing for us, we can start to loosen its grip instead of just trying to force ourselves to stop.Grab your journal and work through these prompts with me.Journal PromptsThink about a pattern that you keep repeating. Something you do automatically, even when you don't want to. Maybe it's overcommitting, not asking for help, or pushing through when you should stop. Just name it. Don't explain it yet.How much mental energy does this pattern cost you on a daily basis? Think beyond the actual doing of it. Think about the mental load of managing it, justifying it, thinking about it, and recovering from it. Where does it show up most? What does it take from you?Now get curious, not critical, about where this started. As far back as you can remember, what were you afraid would happen if you didn't do this? At some point, this pattern made sense. It may have helped you feel safe.Finish this sentence without overthinking it: I've been operating like my worth depends on.......Now read your answer back to yourself. Does that feel true? Has it always felt true?What would actually be different in your day, your body, your energy, your nervous system, or your relationships if that belief loosened its grip just a little? What would you do differently tomorrow? How would you move differently?What's one thing you can do tomorrow or this week that's the opposite of that old pattern? Not a 180. Not a grand gesture. Just one small moment where you choose differently. Write it down like you're making a commitment to yourself. You took something that was happening automatically and made it visible. You traced it back to the belief underneath it. And now you have a chance to choose differently, even if it's just in one small moment.Work with me: Lighter: finally release the weight attached to your plate www.samanthapenkoff.com/lighterThe Leaders Table: https://www.samanthapenkoff.com/leaders-tableBreakthrough Intensive: You already know you should slow down, delegate more, stop overcommitting & be emotionally present.

The to do list keeps growing, the next goal is already waiting, and slowing down doesn't feel as satisfying as getting one more thing done. From the outside, it can look like ambition. But what if there's a story underneath all that achievement that's been quietly calling the shots?Holly Beitel spent years doing the therapy and mindset work while still relying on achievement and performance to cope. She eventually realized there was a deeper story driving those patterns, and that recognizing the story was only the beginning.We talk about how to notice the stories underneath the patterns we tend to call “just who I am,” why awareness doesn't automatically change them, and what can happen when we give an old story new meaning.Holly also shares the reaction meter she uses to help people spot patterns that don't quite match the situation, and how something that once felt like your kryptonite can become connected to the work you're meant to do.This conversation is especially for the woman who knows she's an overachiever, knows she's tired, and still can't quite figure out how to stop.Resources Mentioned:Connect with Holly on: Instagram Free 60-min breakthrough experience to learn your silent story thats sabotaging you: https://hollybeitel.com/Work with me: Lighter: finally release the weight attached to your plate www.samanthapenkoff.com/lighterThe Leaders Table: https://www.samanthapenkoff.com/leaders-tableBreakthrough Intensive: You already know you should slow down, delegate more, stop overcommitting & be emotionally present.

The Articulate Fly

Episode OverviewOn this episode of The Butcher Shop fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash welcomes back Kirk Klingensmith for Part Two of their Science of Streamers conversation, this time digging into the physics behind swim flies and the Game Changer platform. Klingensmith brings an engineer's eye to the vise, breaking down why doubling a fly's length doesn't mean doubling its diameter and why that distinction matters more than most tiers realize.The conversation opens with the geometry of drag: length scales linearly, but diameter drives drag by the square, so a modest increase in diameter has an outsized effect on a fly's action. From there, Klingensmith and Cash trace how turbulence created at the front of a swim fly, whether from a deer hair lip, a cupped popper head or simply a bulky front-loaded profile, sets up the unstable eddy currents that make the rear of the fly undulate on the retrieve. They cover material choices (marabou, rabbit, craft fur, Flashabou) that add movement, the role of shank engineering and segmentation in producing a serpentine swim, and how stinger hook placement and connection material (wire, gel-spun, mono) change both the fly's action and its hookup rate on short-striking fish. A highlight of the episode is Klingensmith's breakdown of Brian Shumaker's Shimmering Minnow and the "hover and twitch" presentation he uses on pressured smallmouth bass in warm summer water.Key TakeawaysHow to scale a streamer's diameter separately from its length, since drag increases geometrically with diameter while length scales in linear proportionWhy turbulence-inducing elements like a deer hair lip, a cupped popper head or an oversized front profile make a swim fly kick and undulate on the retrieve instead of just sinking straightWhen to fish a swim fly on a dead-stop hover rather than a fast retrieve, particularly for pressured smallmouth bass in warm summer waterHow to use material mass and segment placement to dial in a tighter or more gradual S-curve swimming action on an articulated flyWhy adding a stinger hook can improve hookups on short-striking predatory fish while also changing how much mass and crash the tail of the fly carriesHow fly designers use a "chassis" mindset, treating patterns like the Clouser Minnow or Game Changer as adaptable platforms rather than fixed recipesTechniques & Gear CoveredKlingensmith explains swim fly action as a function of engineered turbulence: a drag-inducing front end (a lip, a cupped head or simply a bulky profile) creates unstable eddy currents that the rear of the fly follows, producing the swimming motion, while a laminar (streamlined) front would produce no swim at all. He details how progressively smaller shanks toward the tail increase segmentation and produce a more serpentine undulation, and how adding mass to those rear segments dampens the action into a slower, more gradual S-curve. On stinger hook rigging, he walks through connection options (wire, gel-spun, mono) and how hook placement and gauge affect both the fly's swim and its hook-up percentage on fish that nip at the tail rather than eating the head. Named patterns discussed include the Game Changer platform and two of its variants, the Jerk Changer and the Feather Changer, along with the Drunk & Disorderly, Brian Shumaker's Shimmering Minnow, the Clouser Minnow, Bob Popovics' Beast Fleye and Chris Walker's Kreelex-variant, a stinger-hook trout streamer designed for brown trout that key on the tail.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhy don't fly proportions scale linearly when you size up a streamer pattern?Because drag from a cylindrical or spherical shape increases geometrically with diameter while length only scales linearly. Klingensmith explains that it's reasonable to scale a fly's length proportionally when going from, say, four inches to six inches, but the diameter should only be increased modestly, not scaled by the same ratio, or the fly's action and drag profile will be thrown off.What makes a swim fly like the Game Changer move with a swimming action instead of just sinking?The action comes from turbulence engineered into the front of the fly. A lip, a cupped popper head or simply a bulky, non-streamlined front end creates a drag source that generates unstable eddy currents, and the rest of the fly follows those currents on the retrieve. A streamlined, laminar-flow front would not produce this swimming motion.How does adding a stinger hook affect a swim fly's action and hookup rate?It depends heavily on how the shank-to-stinger connection is built, whether with wire, gel-spun line or mono, and whether the hook is left free or incorporated into the tail material. Stinger hooks are especially effective on predatory fish that nip at a fly's tail rather than striking the head, and shorter-shank designs like octopus hooks tend to hold hooked fish more securely than long-shank hooks.What is the "hover and twitch" technique Kirk Klingensmith uses for pressured smallmouth?Rather than burning the fly back with a fast retrieve, Klingensmith lays the Shimmering Minnow within six inches of structure and lets it twitch and suspend with almost no forward motion, letting subtle microcurrent movement do the work. He believes this near-motionless presentation gives pressured smallmouth, especially in warm water, something they haven't already learned to refuse.How can fly tiers control the tightness of a swim fly's S-curve swimming action?By adjusting material mass in the segments behind the head. Lighter segments produce a tighter, more pronounced undulation, while adding more mass and gradually stepping it down through the rear segments dampens the action into a slower, more gradual S-curve.SponsorsThanks to TroutRoutes for sponsoring this episode.

From there they dig into HHS's new "Wolves in White Coats" report, which refers hospitals accused of profiting off pediatric gender medicine to the DOJ, and cover Medicaid's decision to stop funding transition procedures for minors. Lighter but still eye opening topics include a viral study finding most big box "avocado oil" products are secretly cut with cheaper seed oils, the Navy quietly reinstating mandatory flu shots just months after dropping them, and a new mRNA flu vaccine approval for seniors. The show closes with a genuinely informative interview about home water filtration, mineralization, and why bottled and reverse osmosis water might be doing less for your body than you think.

You've got a logo. You've picked your colors. Maybe you've even built the website.And somehow, you're still waiting to feel ready to actually put yourself out there.Morgan Specht and I talk about the part of branding that has very little to do with choosing the right font or making everything look polished. Sometimes the brand work becomes another place to hide, another thing to tweak, and another decision to make when what you really want is to move forward.Morgan explains why brand strategy matters, why you don't need to scrap everything and start over, and how having the right structure can take so much mental work off your plate. We also talk about what happens when your business changes, your audience changes, and your brand needs to grow with you.There's also a bigger conversation here about visibility. About giving your audience more credit. About letting your business evolve without assuming everyone is going to leave. And about getting help instead of carrying every decision around in your own head.If you've been telling yourself that your website needs to be better, your branding needs to be finished, or you just need to figure a few more things out before you can really show up, it might be worth asking a different question.Are you actually procrastinating on your brand, or are you waiting to feel ready?Resources Mentioned:Connect with Morgan on: Instagram | ThreadsStand Out Brand™ Audit: Brand Audit | WebsiteWork with me: Lighter: finally release the weight attached to your plate www.samanthapenkoff.com/lighterThe Leaders Table: https://www.samanthapenkoff.com/leaders-tableBreakthrough Intensive: You already know you should slow down, delegate more, stop overcommitting & be emotionally present.

Expect the "nine men voting on the tenth" thought experiment revisited, a dig into the actual Latin origin of the word "legislation," a surprising cameo from Cicero making a very Spooner like argument centuries early, and a candid aside on Romans 13 that Jon promises to unpack more fully later. He also touches on Bitcoin's philosophical roots in Spooner's writing, a security incident in that space, and an AI research project he's building to study natural law thinkers. Lighter moments include a firewood callback and some sponsor fun, but the core is a sharp, sobering case for why majority rule cannot manufacture legitimate authority.

Although reducing excess body fat may improve running economy and performance, there is a lower limit where continued weight loss can begin to compromise health, recovery and long-term performance. Matt shares his own experience of becoming faster after losing weight, while David explains why the human body cannot be treated like a simple machine. Some body fat may provide an important energy buffer because the absorption and use of fuel can vary between athletes and from day to day. They examine Ryan Hall's experience as a cautionary example. Hall initially improved while becoming extremely lean, but his performance and health eventually declined after taking the process too far. This temporary improvement can create a dangerous "more is better" mindset, where athletes continue restricting food because the early results appear positive. The conversation also breaks down Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, commonly known as RED-S. Rather than viewing RED-S as the result of one isolated mistake, David describes it using a stress bucket model. Training load, inadequate fueling, poor sleep, work pressure and other life stressors can accumulate until the athlete's ability to recover is overwhelmed. Matt and David discuss carbohydrate periodization and carb cycling, including when lower-carbohydrate training may have a place within an endurance program. However, they stress that these strategies do not eliminate the risks of chronic under-fueling. Athletes still require adequate carbohydrates, protein and dietary fat to support performance, recovery and overall health. They also cover behaviours associated with disordered eating, the spectrum between structured nutrition and unhealthy restriction, whether runners should deliberately lose muscle mass, and the difficult tradeoffs that can exist between short-term performance and long-term health.

Amsterdam, Part 2 of 2, suitcase shopping

Dr Mary Travelbest Guide

Amsterdam Part 2 of 2: Advice on shopping for a new suitcase.   Welcome back to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast.  The FAQ is: I'm shopping for a new suitcase. Where should I look for one? Great question. Before you buy a suitcase, I want you to think about how you travel, not just what looks cute in the store. On most of my solo journeys, I carry just a personal item. What that means is I travel so light that most people wouldn't want to. So, here's my advice if you want a real suitcase. Start by looking at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Costco, Macy's, Nordstrom Rack, Target, Amazon, and directly on brand websites like Samsonite, Travelpro, Delsey, Béis, CALPAK, and Away. If you want to touch the suitcase, roll it around, lift it, and test the handle, go to a store first. If you already know the size and brand you want, online shopping may offer you more options. My practical advice is this: do not buy a suitcase just because it is pretty. Roll it around the store. Lift it into the air as if you are putting it into an overhead bin. Check the wheels. Open the zippers. Pull the handle up and down several times. If it feels flimsy in the store, it will feel worse in an airport. For solo travelers, I usually recommend a lightweight carry-on spinner with four wheels. It should be easy to roll through train stations, airports, sidewalks, and hotel lobbies. If you take trains in Europe, remember that you may need to lift your bag up steps or onto luggage racks. Lighter is better. If you are a budget traveler, check TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Costco, and Nordstrom Rack first. If you want reliability, compare Samsonite, Travelpro, and Delsey. If style matters and you are willing to spend more, look at Béis, CALPAK, or Away. My favorite suitcase shopping test is simple: Can I manage this bag alone when I'm tired? If the answer is no, keep looking.   60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, Confidence Challenge in Amsterdam If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series is about solo travel and AI. I used it a lot in the Netherlands.    See Book C for addressing this concern.  Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon.  Today's destination is Amsterdam, in the Netherlands.    Here is a Three-Day First-Timer Itinerary for Amsterdam, especially for listeners who may be traveling solo, arriving from the USA, or visiting Amsterdam later in life and wanting to enjoy the city without feeling overwhelmed. Amsterdam is beautiful, but it is also busy. You will see canals, museums, trams, trains, bikes, cafes, boats, and crowds. The city works well, but you need to pay attention. My first practical tip is simple: watch out for bikes. Bike lanes are serious transportation lanes. Do not stand in them. Do not wander into them while looking at your phone. Look both ways before crossing, even if you think you are only crossing a sidewalk. Day One: Arrive, settle in, and get oriented. If you are arriving by train, you will likely come through Amsterdam Central. The trains in the Netherlands run on time, and the system is efficient. That does not mean it will feel easy when you are tired, carrying luggage, and trying to read signs in a new city. Give yourself extra time. Know whether you are taking a Sprinter train, a metro, a tram, or a bus. When I arrived in July 2025, I stayed at Via Amsterdam near Diemen Zuid. It was outside the city center, which meant I needed to use transit, but it also gave me a less expensive base. If you are staying outside the center, make sure your lodging is close to a train or metro station. That matters more than almost anything else. On your first evening, keep things simple. Check in. Do laundry if needed. Take a shower. Organize your day bag for the next morning. If your lodging offers breakfast, consider whether it is worth the price. I paid €12 for a hostel buffet breakfast, and I made a simple lunch to carry with me. For your first meal, choose something nearby rather than trying to cross the entire city. Amsterdam has many cozy restaurants and cafes. You might try Dutch pancakes, or if you want something sweet, look for stroopwafels. These are thin syrup waffles, almost like cookies. Place one over a hot coffee or tea cup and let the caramel-like center warm up. It is a small pleasure, and it feels very Dutch. If you have energy, take a short evening walk near a canal or transit station. Do not overschedule your arrival day. Your goal is to learn how the city moves. Day Two: Museums, canals, and classic Amsterdam.   For lunch or an afternoon break, consider pancakes or a cafe. Carousel Pancakes is one option to look into. Another restaurant name you may hear is Moeders, which means "mothers." Amsterdam has a mix of traditional, cozy, international, and creative restaurants.      Travel Mistakes  My mistake for this episode: trying to understand everything at once. Amsterdam works well, but it takes a day to feel comfortable. My travel tip: do not stay only in the tourist center. A hostel or hotel near a good train or metro station can save money and still work well. My lesson: Amsterdam rewards alert travelers. Pay attention, stay flexible, and let the city teach you how it moves.       Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news

What if decluttering isn't about organization, but about removing barriers to healing? In this episode of the IRH Clinician's Corner, Margaret Floyd Barry is joined by Heather Aardema, founder of the School of Living Lighter, to delve into the often-overlooked but profoundly impactful connection between clutter and health.

LeBron at 41: The Sports Medicine Case for (and Against) Signing Him 6 to 8 Weeks: Perspectives in Sports Medicine Episode Summary: With LeBron James's free agency dominating headlines, the hosts break down what it actually means, medically, for a team to sign a 41-year-old former MVP — covering his historic longevity, his known injury history, and what a "physical" and medical clearance process looks like for a star with a well-documented body of wear and tear. They close with lighter East/West playoff predictions. Timestamps: 00:00 — Intro & disclaimer, plus setup: LeBron's free agency and reports he's drawing interest from multiple teams 02:30 — Career longevity in context: LeBron as the oldest active NBA player; discussion of how sports science, year-round body maintenance, and "load management" have extended elite athletes' careers over the last 10-15 years 05:00 — The record book: LeBron's all-time scoring record, games played, minutes — and a comparison to other players (Chris Paul, Kyle Lowry) who extended careers by reducing role/minutes 05:00–07:30 — His back issue: Discussion of LeBron's sciatica/low back pain, put in context — low back pain is the #1 reason people see a doctor in primary care, and in the vast majority of cases (including elite athletes) it's manageable with rest, load modification, and injections rather than surgery. Comparison to Larry Bird's back problems, and how differently that might be managed with today's medicine. 07:30–10:00 — Why feet, not backs, usually end careers: The hosts note that for aging elite players, foot and lower-extremity issues are often more career-limiting than back problems, since there's less that can be done to fully resolve them compared to back-focused treatments. 10:00–12:30 — Load management strategy: How a team would realistically manage LeBron's playing time — resting for back-to-backs, strategic game selection — as a template similar to how other aging stars have been managed. 12:30–15:00 — The medical clearance process: A behind-the-scenes look at what happens medically when a team considers signing or trading for a star with an extensive injury history — physicals, history review, and how teams weigh "red flags" against known, well-documented issues for a player as publicly tracked as LeBron. 15:00–17:30 — Playoff predictions: Lighter closing segment on who they like coming out of the East (Knicks, Heat, 76ers roster discussion) and a nod to the West being “loaded.” Please subscribe to our podcast at Apple PodcastsCheck out our website on Simplecast

Jimmy and Tyler sit down with James, the International Distributor for Carbon Off-Road — a 10-year-old Australian winch and recovery gear company quietly making a lot of noise in a space dominated by legacy brands. James is a Kiwi who grew up on farms in New Zealand’s Taranaki region before moving to Australia 22 years ago. He found off-roading the same way a lot of adults do: by needing friends and buying a Suzuki. He joined a Suzuki club, met Carbon founder Dan through those connections before Carbon even existed, and eventually joined the company. Now he’s traveling the US in what Tyler accurately describes as a “homeless American gypsy” role — meeting wheelers, attending grassroots events, and slowly building the Carbon Off-Road name in the US market. He stopped in Sacramento on a layover to come on the show, having spent a week with Jimmy and Tyler at Trail Hero Expeditions. Carbon’s pitch is three words: lighter, faster, stronger. Their 12,000 lb flagship is the lightest 12K winch in the world — just under 58 lbs fully installed, aluminum housing, 480 amp max current draw, lifetime mechanical warranty on the gearbox, 5-year electrical on the motor and control box. It retails at $899 USD. The RS9 is their race-spec winch — 9,000 lb capacity, 80 feet per minute unloaded, and James jokes it should come with a parental advisory sticker because it will unspool 78 feet of spectra fiber rope in about a minute if you don’t have tension on the line. On the recovery gear side: Carbon just launched a full lineup available in three colorways — High Viz (orange, commercial/heavy equipment), Blue, and Tactical (so popular it exceeded all expectations). Their Essential Recovery Kit ($349 USD) includes soft shackles, kinetic rope, tree saver, recovery ring, gloves, and a bag that doubles as a winch blanket. The Tac 4×4 Kit ($599 USD) upgrades to spectra-fiber soft shackles rated at 18,000 kg working load limit, adds a utility rope (replaces the tree saver — works as a bridle, rock anchor, winch extension, or general purpose rope), and comes in a MOLLE-style bag. Everything is designed in-house in Australia, third-party tested to minimum breaking strength, and not white-labeled — James is emphatic about this. The show also covers: Carbon’s 10th anniversary camping weekend at Black Duck Valley (120 vehicles showed up despite two weeks of rain), what it’s like trying to sell winches at a trade show for 14 hours in a row, why James hasn’t been able to drive his own trailer-queen Suzuki Sierra much lately, King of the Hammers 2026 (“we saw a lot of winches stalling out — caveat: none of ours”), the Australia/New Zealand land access crisis vs. US land access fights, and why the name Carbon has nothing to do with carbon fiber. Bonus content includes the full Australia ongoing-topics segment: Vegemite vs. Marmite (James sides with Marmite, the New Zealand version), camping vs. glamping (coffee machine in the tent = crossed the line), and the fanny pack question that previously required Australian listeners to call in and educate Jimmy about what the word “fanny” actually means. James’s closing advice: In a recovery situation, don’t rush it. Take a breath, assess, and figure out how to do it safely.

Youth Soccer, the World Cup, and America's Pay-to-Play Problem 6 to 8 Weeks: Perspectives in Sports Medicine Runtime:~23 minutes Episode Summary With the World Cup underway, the hosts ask a controversial question: why isn't the US better at men's soccer, given a talent pool that dwarfs countries like Belgium and Norway? The conversation pivots from there into the real subject of the episode — how America's pay-to-play youth sports system is driving both a talent gap and a youth injury epidemic, especially ACL and overuse injuries in young athletes. Timestamps 00:00 — Intro Welcome and standard disclaimer: discussion is for informational purposes only, not professional medical advice. 00:30 — Why isn't the US better at men's soccer? Framing question for the episode: the US has far more people than countries that regularly outperform it (Belgium, population 11.8M; Norway, population 5.6M), yet can't compete at the same level on the men's side — a contrast with the sustained success of the US women's national team. 02:30 — Setting up the real topic: youth injuries Transition into ACL and overuse injuries in young athletes, particularly young females, and how that connects to the US youth development model. 03:00 — The pay-to-play system How youth sports shifted over the past ~10–25 years from school and community leagues to private club/travel teams. Families now spend as much as $20,000/year on travel soccer and baseball. 05:00 — The numbers behind the industry Youth sports is cited as a ~$40 billion industry. Comparison of costs: a recreational league (e.g., AYSO) runs roughly $140–150/year, while an entry-level travel team runs about $1,700 and an academy-level club team about $3,500 — before uniforms, extra practices, or private coaching. 07:00 — Is this just a soccer problem? Discussion of whether this trend is soccer-specific or affects baseball, basketball, and volleyball too (it's across the board). The disappearance of casual pickup games and rec leagues in favor of organized, paid leagues. 09:00 — US vs. European development models European countries emphasize multi-sport participation and general athleticism (coordination, core strength) over early performance and specialization. Cited participation gap: roughly 90% multi-sport participation in some European countries vs. a steep drop-off in the US. 11:00 — The scholarship reality check The odds of a young athlete earning a college scholarship or going pro are extremely low. Recommendation: decisions about youth sports should center on the child's enjoyment and development, not a scholarship or pro chase. 13:00 — Why specialization raises injury risk Explanation of how single-sport specialization leads to repetitive stress on the same body parts, and how kids aren't developing the balanced strength, coordination, and movement patterns that protect against injury. European academy model contrasted as more balance- and skill-focused. 15:00 — Specialization and injuries at the pro level Early specialization linked to earlier injuries in professional athletes — for example, NBA players who specialized young tearing Achilles tendons earlier in their careers, and a rise in Tommy John (elbow) surgeries among teenage baseball players. Also: level of soccer access is often a financial decision, not a quality/skill decision — elite club access can cost $30,000+/year. 17:00 — Socioeconomic and geographic inequity Access to elite club teams correlates with socioeconomic status and geography. Talented kids in lower-income areas may never be discovered because showcases and elite coaching are gated by cost. 19:00 — The one big change If they could change one thing about the system: delay specialization and actively encourage multi-sport participation, especially early on, to reduce overuse injury risk. Advice for parents on how to guide kids toward a broader athletic foundation. 21:00 — Wrap-up and World Cup predictions Lighter closing segment with picks for the World Cup winner Key Takeaways The US pay-to-play youth sports model filters talent by financial access rather than ability — a likely contributor to underperformance in men's soccer relative to population size. Early single-sport specialization is linked to higher rates of ACL tears and overuse injuries in youth athletes, and earlier injuries in those who go on to play professionally. European development models emphasize multi-sport participation and general athleticism over early specialization and performance metrics. The likelihood of a scholarship or professional career is very low — a useful reframe for parents weighing time and financial investment in club sports. Socioeconomic and geographic barriers likely mean talented young athletes go undiscovered simply due to lack of access.

Two weeks after launch, the numbers disagree: roughly 85% of daily trading on the chain is memecoins, while tokenized RWAs sit at about 1%. Johann Kerbrat, Vice President and General Manager of Robinhood Crypto, joins Laura Shin to argue the split is not a problem. He makes the case that building the chain permissionless was deliberate, and that memecoin trading through CashCat and PumpFun brings the liquidity RWAs will eventually need. Kerbrat also defends building the chain's lending and margin system on USDG over USDC or Tether, walks through the separate, unshared liquidity instance behind Robinhood's new perps product with Lighter, and addresses Robinhood's 63% quarterly drop in crypto transaction revenue. His answer: Robinhood Chain was never meant to smooth out that swing, and the real test is whether tokenization can outrun regulation.

Stars age in a well-understood way. Nuclear fusion in a star’s core converts lighter elements to heavier ones. At some point, that process ends and the star dies. How long the star lives and how it does so are determined by its mass. But a recent study says that some stars could be powered in part by dark matter. That could affect how long the stars live, and make them look younger than they really are. Dark matter accounts for about 85 percent of all the matter in the universe. It produces no energy. We know it’s there only because its gravity tugs the visible matter around it. It may consist of some type of subatomic particle, but no one’s found it. But if certain types of dark-matter particles ram together, they may cancel each other with a flash. The study says that could impact stars in the center of the galaxy, where dark matter is tightly packed. Massive stars, with stronger gravity, could pull in more dark matter. That would keep them going practically forever. And it would make them look younger. Lighter stars couldn’t pull in enough dark matter to keep them going. Instead, the dark-matter reactions would blow the stars apart. A cluster at the heart of the galaxy contains many heavy stars that look young in some ways, but old in others. And the cluster doesn’t have any lightweight stars. That combination could mean that the evolution of the stars in that region is being influenced by dark matter. Script by Damond Benningfield

Vladimir Novakovski of Lighter joins the Chopping Block crew to untangle one of crypto's oldest debates: what happens when tokens and equity coexist. The gang digs into the Venice/VVV controversy, breaks down Lighter's new Perps integration with Robinhood Chain and the fragmentation questions it raises, dissects the wild BonkDAO governance exploit, and reacts to the eye-popping $2.4 billion in crypto income disclosed in Trump's financial filings. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto, joined this week by special guest Vladimir Novakovski of Lighter. The crew dives deep into the resurfaced tokens-versus-equity debate sparked by Dragonfly's investment in Venice and its VVV token, with Haseeb making the case that Venice is fundamentally different from Uniswap Labs style structures. Vlad explains how Lighter has approached the same dilemma through programmatic buybacks and a single C corp structure, and the group debates fiduciary duties, Delaware law, and what a merged DeFi/TradFi future for equity and tokens might look like. From there, they unpack Lighter's big Robinhood Chain announcement, including Lighter's new role as the native Perps engine inside Robinhood Wallet, and whether running a separate instance fragments liquidity. The episode wraps with a breakdown of the BonkDAO governance exploit that let an attacker vote themselves $20 million in tokens, and a reaction to Trump's staggering $2.4 billion in pre-tax crypto income revealed in his latest financial disclosure.

Fulton Sheen SSPX Letter? Leo XIV's new LGBT Bishop + Why Abortion Is Treated Lighter Than SSPX

Pope Leo XIV just appointed a German bishop who supported same-sex blessings, gender ideology, and LGBT initiatives. The same Vatican that celebrated that appointment has now imposed canonical sanctions on the Society of Saint Pius X, sanctions that require a more demanding process for lifting than the procedure for Catholics who have procured an abortion. The comparison is stark. The priorities are exposed.The inconsistencies that have left traditional Catholics reeling are now being seen. John-Henry Westen also investigates a widely circulated letter attributed to Bishop Fulton Sheen criticizing the SSPX. While the letter may be genuine, the host argues it likely does not reflect Sheen's own thinking, citing historical inaccuracies, Sheen's declining health, and the possibility that staff drafted much of his correspondence.The Vatican's treatment of the SSPX is not about discipline. It is about eliminating the Traditional Latin Mass and the communities that preserve it. The episcopal consecrations were a practical necessity. And the faithful who stood in the rain in Écône know it. The question is whether the rest of the Church will see the pattern before it is too late. A bishop who blesses sin is celebrated. A bishop who preserves Tradition is excommunicated. The Church has turned against itself.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

This episode shines a spotlight on Chloe's late-game recruitment as a traitor, the ripple effects of pivotal murders and banishments, and how social bonds dictate the final outcome. Join Pooya and Annabel as they examine the key alliances, banishments, and strategic missteps that define this intense season conclusion.
