Tucker Carlson recently told a live audience there is “no chance” he will support the Republican Party going forward, saying a party that puts “the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens” no longer deserves his vote, despite the fact that he has long branded himself as a lifelong Republican voter and defender. Within a day he praised JD Vance as a “great” candidate and said he would support “the best person,” which the panel sees as a confusing pivot that leaves viewers unsure whether he is actually boycotting the GOP on principle or just repositioning himself above the party while still backing specific Republicans.

Baroness Beeban Kidron has lived several lives in one. Award winning filmmaker, Hollywood director, crossbench peer and one of the earliest and most persistent critics of Big Tech, she has spent years sounding the alarm about the digital world long before the rest of us caught up.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with Beeban to trace the path from a radical North London childhood to the House of Lords, via Greenham Common, Hollywood and a career spent telling stories about power, exclusion and who gets heard. She reflects on the childhood operation that left her unable to speak, the camera that gave her purpose and the instinct that has driven everything since, from filmmaking to political campaigning.Beeban explains why the arrival of smartphones felt like a turning point, how her documentary work with teenagers exposed the hidden costs of life online and why she believes the harms caused by tech are not accidental but built into the system. She speaks about lobbying, political failure and the transfer of power, money and control from public life into private hands.It is a fiercely intelligent, deeply personal and often incendiary conversation about technology, democracy and what it will take to fight back.Find out more about Users: How Big Tech Took Control and How to Fight Back by Beeban Kidron hereFull Disclosure is a Global ProductionListen or watch every Friday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/fulldisclosure Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Episode OverviewIn this Southwest Virginia Fishing Report from The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash checks in with guide and writer Matt Reilly for a late-June conditions update covering the bug bite, streamer strategy and musky gear. With water running very low and clear across most drainages — and a near-94°F heat spike bearing down on the region for the Fourth of July — Matt explains why the current conditions are still worth fishing hard. Damselflies, dragonflies and terrestrial insects are out in force, and in technical low-water scenarios, Matt argues that surface bug presentations become the most reliable path to a bigger fish on Southwest Virginia rivers. The approach requires patience and timing: he describes starting the morning with streamers while fog limits visibility on the flats, then feathering into surface presentations as sunlight penetrates and fish become more active and visible in shallower water.The episode also branches into musky territory with Matt sharing details from a Hatch Magazine rod review he just published on the new Redington Big Game 11- and 12-weight fly rods. He breaks down why the 12-weight's grain window (550–700 grains) makes it function as a two-hander, and flags its all ceramic guides as a landmark feature — the first time a major manufacturer has run ceramic guides all the way up the blank, something boutique builders like Reilly Rod Crafters and Chippewa River Custom Rods have long recognized as essential for musky fly rod design. Matt walks through the aerial casting sequence he uses with two-handed setups — sidearm to tease the head out, elliptical overhead to shoot — and covers the Scientific Anglers Custom Cut line as the tool he reaches for when he needs to reach the upper grain windows.Key TakeawaysHow to build a daily game plan around low, clear water by starting with streamers in the foggy morning window and gradually transitioning to surface presentations as sunlight arrives and fish activate on flats.Why low, clear summer conditions on Southwest Virginia rivers can actually work in your favor, making surface bug presentations the surest route to a larger fish in technical water.When to recalibrate your expectations around the adult crayfish molt cycle — and why Matt saw that window arrive roughly a month earlier than its typical late-June/early-July timing this year.How two-handed musky rods expand the physical and tactical playbook, allowing heavier and bulkier fly designs that single-hand rods can't realistically turn over, while also improving ease of casting for the angler.Why ceramic guides all the way up the blank matter on a musky rod, and what the Redington Big Game 12-weight signals about where mainstream manufacturers are finally catching up to the sport.How to execute the sidearm-to-elliptical aerial casting sequence with a two-handed musky setup, using the Scientific Anglers Custom Cut line's color change as a practical cue for when to shoot.Techniques & Gear CoveredMatt describes a two-phase low-water strategy: streamer fishing in the overcast, foggy morning window to capitalize on reduced visibility and fish willing to chase, then feathering into surface bug fishing once the sun gets up and fish become active and visible on the flats. Damselflies, dragonflies and terrestrial patterns are identified as the go-to presentations in late June for drawing bigger smallmouth in technical conditions. The Redington Big Game musky rods — an 11-weight and a 12-weight — anchor the gear discussion, with the 12-weight designed around a 550–700 grain line window and capable of two-handed delivery; Matt's primary critique is its 9-foot length versus the 10-foot standard he's come to prefer, though he views the rod's all ceramic guide construction as a meaningful advancement from a major manufacturer. On the line side, the Scientific Anglers Custom Cut line is the only SA option Matt identifies for reaching the upper grain windows: you cut the charcoal head back to your target grain weight, leaving a fluorescent yellow running line as a visual cue — once you see a foot or two of yellow at the rod tip, it's time to shoot. Two-handed casting technique is covered in detail, with Matt walking through the sidearm sweep to tease the head out incrementally before transitioning to an elliptical overhead stroke to deliver the fly, a method that makes 40–50 foot casts accessible to average anglers and 80-plus-foot casts achievable for experienced big rod casters.Locations & SpeciesThis report covers Southwest Virginia, with a recent rainfall update noting some new water to northeast Tennessee and the high-country trout streams in that region. The primary fishing conditions being discussed are late-June low-and-clear flows across most lowland drainages, with heat building and no meaningful relief in sight ahead of the Fourth of July holiday. The summer target species in Southwest Virginia is smallmouth bass — fished through a mix of topwater, terrestrial and streamer presentations depending on time of day, flow and light conditions.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhy do low, clear water conditions favor topwater bug presentations for smallmouth in Southwest Virginia?In low, clear water, flats become sight-fishable and fish spread out into shallower zones where surface activity is easier to read and exploit. Matt explains that when bugs are an option in these conditions, they become the most reliable route to a bigger fish — more so than baitfish or crayfish patterns that typically do more work in higher, dirtier flows. With damselflies, dragonflies and terrestrials active through the summer, the insect menu gives fish consistent visible targets above the surface, and a well-presented topwater bug or terrestrial in technical water can outperform power fishing techniques that work better with more water volume.When should you make the switch from streamers to topwater on a low-water early-summer day?Matt's approach is to default to streamers early and let conditions tell him when to transition. On the morning of recording, fog cover persisted until around 9:30 or 10:00 a.m., keeping visibility poor on the flats where sight fishing is the real advantage. He waits for sun penetration before committing to bug fishing, since successful topwater presentations in that shallow technical water depend on fish actively moving toward the fly — which requires warm, clear conditions rather than the overcast low-light window that often favors streamer fishing.What are the practical advantages of two-handed fly rods for musky fishing?Two-handed setups reduce physical fatigue substantially on what is already one of the most demanding days of casting in fly fishing, and they expand the fly design options available to the angler. Matt notes that fishing with a 650-grain line on a two-handed rod allows him to use bulkier, heavier fly patterns that produce different action profiles — patterns that would be genuinely difficult to cast with a single-hand rod. Longer rod length also improves the figure-8 maneuver at the boat, giving anglers a better, less fatiguing lever to trigger strikes.What do anglers need to know about the Redington Big Game 12-weight as a musky tool?The rod's online listing as a 12-weight undersells what it actually is: it accepts a 550–700 grain line, making it a functional two-hander despite its 9-foot length. Its defining feature is that it's the first fly rod from a major manufacturer to run ceramic guides all the way up the blank — a design detail that boutique builders like Reilly Rod Crafters and Chippewa River Custom Rods have long treated as essential for handling heavy musky lines without damaging guides. Matt's main criticism is the 9-foot length versus the 10-foot two-handers he's become accustomed to, but he views the rod's existence as a market signal that major brands are paying attention to where musky fishing on the fly is heading.How do you cast a two-handed rod for musky?Matt's method starts with about a foot and a half of line after the last figure-8, then uses a sidearm sweep — described as brushing the side of a wall with a broom — to tease the head out incrementally, shooting 10–15 feet on the first backcast and adding distance with each stroke. Once the head is out (a 25-foot head in his example), he transitions to an elliptical overhead stroke to shoot the fly line and fly to the target. He uses the Scientific Anglers Custom Cut line's color change as the timing cue: once a foot or two of the fluorescent yellow running line appears outside of the rod tip, he shoots — a reliable visual reference that takes the guesswork out of judging when the head is fully outside of the rod tip.Related ContentS6, Ep 71 - Adapting to Heat and Low Flows: A Southwest Virginia Fishing Report with Matt ReillyS7, Ep 12 - Cold Water Chronicles: Insights on Musky Fishing and Streamer Techniques with Matt Reilly

It's Thursday, June 25th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Cuban Communists keep sick Protestant pastor imprisoned Christian Solidarity Worldwide reports a Protestant pastor remains in prison in Cuba amid concerns for his health. Pastor Alexis Padrón Lorenzo leads the Communion in Faith Church in Havana. Authorities detained him on June 10, physically abused him during interrogation, and blocked family members from contacting him. This happened after Lorenzo expressed opposition to the country's communist system.  Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Cuba. The country is ranked 24th on the Open Doors World Watch List of the most oppressive countries worldwide for Christians. Write a polite, 2-sentence note of objection to Cuba's top diplomat: Lianys Torres Rivera, Cuban Consulate, 2639 16th Street NW, Washington DC, 20009. Rubio urges new Columbian president to end illegal immigration to U.S. As The Worldview reported on June 23rd, the citizens of the South American country of Colombia narrowly elected conservative Abelardo De La Espriella, who was Trump-endorsed, over left-wing candidate Iván Cepeda.  De La Espriella promised a crackdown on crime.  g the election, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted, “The Trump Administration looks forward to working closely with your incoming administration to advance regional security cooperation, end illegal immigration to the United States, and strengthen our economic ties.” Daniel 2:21 reminds us that God “changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings.” Biden's illegal immigration drove up housing costs In the United States, a recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas found illegal migration under the Biden administration drove up housing costs. The report estimates that unauthorized immigrant worker flows explain  about 30% of the total growth in house prices and 20% of total growth in rents.  Listen to comments last year by Vice President J.D. Vance on the subject. VANCE: “When we talk about housing and why costs are so high, we don't talk enough about demand. One of the drivers of increased housing demand, we know, is that we've got a lot of people over the last four years who have come into the country illegally.” Four years since Roe v. Wade overturned: Pro-life laws in 19 states Four years ago, on June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The ruling said the U.S. Constitution does not include a right to abortion. It also handed regulation of abortion to individual states. Since then, 19 states have passed anti-abortion laws. Thirteen states ban abortions in most cases. Four states ban abortions at 6 weeks of pregnancy. And two states ban them at 12 weeks. Trump ends sexually explicit school teen programs The Daily Signal reports that the Trump administration will cut funding to many teenage pregnancy prevention programs in schools this week. The Department of Health and Human Services reviewed Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grants. It decided to terminate most of them, ending $67 million in grants.  The administration described the grants from the Biden-era as “medically inaccurate,” “age-inappropriate,” and “sexually explicit.” U.S., Mexico, & Canada Bible societies share Christ during World Cup Bible societies are using the 2026 World Soccer Cup to engage millions of fans with Scripture. The United States, Canada, and Mexico are hosting the event. So, the American Bible Society, the Mexican Bible Society, and the Canadian Bible Society are promoting Bibles, devotionals, and evangelistic booklets.  Christian Daily International notes, “These efforts reflect a broader trend among Bible societies worldwide. As major global events attract billions of viewers, organizations are increasingly developing resources that connect Scripture with cultural moments and reach people who may not normally engage with churches or religious programs.” For example, Living Waters, founded by Evangelist Ray Comfort, has printed 2 million copies of the 2026 World Cup million-dollar bill tract available for free when you cover the shipping. They are an effective tool because there is: Instant curiosity: People pick it up and ask questions Natural transition: From “World Cup” to The Cup of Grace Clear Gospel message: Simple, direct, and memorable And it's easy to share: Great for friends, coworkers, and public outreaches Visit the website: www.LivingWaters.com/WorldCup Major League Baseball no longer requires Christian players to support perversion And finally, Major League Baseball recently announced it will not require players to wear uniforms that promote sexually perverted lifestyles.  The issue arose after three San Francisco Giants players added Bible verses to the Rainbow Homosexual Pride caps which they were initially required to wear. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri posted a letter from the Commissioner of Major League Baseball. Hawley wrote, “The Major Leage Baseball Commissioner writes to me and admits they were wrong to threaten the Giants players over Bible verses and promises never to fine or discipline these players -- or any players for their religious beliefs.” Several San Francisco Giants Christian pitchers — Landen Roupp, Ryan Walker, and J.T. Brubaker  — referenced Genesis chapter 9 on their hats about the true meaning of the rainbow. In verses 14 and 15, God said, “It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the Earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.” Landon Roup was asked about his hand-written Scripture on his cap at a press conference. ROUP: “God's covenant, and a promise that He makes to us, that His faithfulness and His mercy. It's kind of something I believe in. I stand firm in that.” Amusingly, Cyd Ziegler, the homosexual co-founder of OutSports, was enraged by the Scripture the Christian pitchers had added to the hats. ZIEGLER: “It defaced the Pride Rainbow with a Bible verse telling the LGBT community that they do not own the rainbow, that God owns the rainbow.” Mr. Ziegler, I've got news for you.  God does own the rainbow! Send a two-sentence thank you note to Robert Manfred, Major League Baseball Commissioner, 1271 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020. And send a 2-sentence thank you note to Landen Roupp for his Christian witness and outspokeness. San Francisco Giants, Oracle Park. 24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA 94107.

The South Carolina Supreme Court gave prosecutors a warning they can't ignore. Twelve and a half hours of financial crimes testimony at the first trial was excessive. The justices said the state went too deep into details that had nothing to do with proving murder and everything to do with making Alex Murdaugh look like a terrible person. Testimony from Tony Satterfield about his brother's disability had “zero probative value.” That kind of evidence is off the table now.What's left is a circumstantial murder case that has to stand on its own for the first time. The kennel video places Alex at the scene. His lie about being there is damning. But there's no murder weapon, no confession, no eyewitness, and no DNA connecting him to the killings. The first jury heard that evidence wrapped inside a devastating portrait of a man who stole millions from people who trusted him. The second jury won't get that portrait — at least not in the same detail.Creighton Waters says the genie is out of the bottle — every juror already knows Alex's financial crimes from media coverage. The question is whether that helps or hurts the prosecution when they can't control the narrative from the witness stand. Bob Motta on the prosecution's problem.

The first time Creighton Waters stood in front of a jury and talked about Alex Murdaugh, he had twelve and a half hours of financial destruction to work with. Stolen money from vulnerable clients. Insurance fraud. A man who lied to everyone who ever trusted him. By the time the jury considered the murder evidence, they already knew exactly what kind of person was sitting at the defense table.The Supreme Court just shut that down. The justices said the financial crimes presentation was excessive and the retrial must be efficient. They specifically singled out testimony that had “zero probative value” and “obviously high potential for unfair prejudice.” The prosecution can still argue financial motive, but the storytelling that made Alex Murdaugh a villain before the murder evidence even started is gone.What's left is a case built on circumstantial evidence. The kennel video. The lie. No weapon, no confession, no DNA. Waters says nothing should have been a surprise to the defense the first time because prosecutors hand over everything in discovery. But the defense now has the advantage of having seen the entire playbook. And the AG is considering the death penalty. Bob Motta on whether the state can still win.

Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast, where we get honest about the messy middle of building something that actually means something to you. This episode is something a little different, and honestly, something really special. Jenny Tack, owner of Hex and Hair in Hampton Roads and host of the Conversations at the Crossroads podcast, attended Elevate and Inspire back in April and shared her experience on her own show. Her story was so good that Elizabeth knew it belonged here too.   This one is for anyone who has ever wondered if finding your why in business means letting go of the dream you started with. Jenny arrived at Elevate and Inspire already cracked open by a brutal week of nervous system chaos, a truck that ran out of gas on the interstate, and the kind of uncertainty that makes everything feel fragile. What she found inside that room was a full business identity shift she hadn't even known was coming.   You'll hear her talk about the moment she realized her first blank in Elizabeth's "I am a blank" exercise didn't fit anymore, what it means to let a dream grow instead of letting it go, and why sometimes the breakdown before the breakthrough is exactly what makes you available to receive something new.

A structural repricing of memory and silicon components is forcing a shift in the economics of hardware resale for managed service providers (MSPs) and IT service providers. This shift is driven by concentrated demand for memory components from AI infrastructure build-outs, as evidenced by data from IDC and remarks from companies including Apple, Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung. The episode highlights that memory costs have quadrupled in a year, and that both endpoint devices and servers are experiencing durable price inflation due to component scarcity and intensified competition for supply. The most consequential development cited is Apple's acknowledgment—confirmed by Tim Cook to the Wall Street Journal—that device price increases are now “unavoidable” because the cost of memory can no longer be absorbed. Memory manufacturers' share prices rallied on this signal, reinforcing an investor consensus that higher component costs will persist. IDC data showed AI-focused, non-x86 servers using Nvidia's ARM chips generated $58.7 billion—or nearly 48% of all server revenue—up 107% year over year, while x86 server revenue declined due to DRAM and NAND shortages. This dynamic indicates that AI infrastructure is bidding up component costs at the expense of standard business hardware. Secondary developments further reinforce this mechanism. The market's response to U.S. government announcements regarding Intel chip capacity expansion demonstrates that relief from the silicon crunch remains years away, not months. Channel partners—according to industry reporting—were already pivoting from hardware resale to services prior to these price shocks, with thinning hardware margins preceding the current pressure. The combination of fixed-fee hardware contracts and rising component costs now places providers in a position where they are “short silicon,” having unknowingly absorbed inflation risk they cannot pass on under existing contractual terms. For MSPs and IT leaders, the principal operational implications center on contract structure, exposure to component price volatility, and diminished hardware margins. Providers with fixed monthly agreements or hardware-as-a-service contracts based on last year's component costs are at an increasing risk of margin erosion, as their ability to reprice is contractually limited. Practical mitigation steps include auditing all fixed-fee agreements for exposure, amending contracts to include component index or price adjustment clauses, and separating hardware as a transparent, pass-through line item. Failing to adapt contract terms or refresh timing may compound both financial risk and the security profile of client endpoints. 00:00 Not the Tokens  03:31 An Auction for the Parts 05:46 Short Silicon 07:44 Why Do We Care?   Supported by: Pax8 ScalePad    Sign up for the SMB Online Conference: www.smbonlineconference.com

AI ARR is easy to announce. Proving it is where most SaaS finance teams are about to get exposed. In episode #379, Ben Murray tackles the new bar for AI financial transparency and what it means for your next budget season. The public markets have already moved the goalposts. Launching AI was the 2024 story. Reporting AI ARR was the 2025 story. Now investors and boards want to see AI margins, customer outcomes, and proof that AI revenue is actually dropping to the bottom line. That same pressure is heading straight for private SaaS, and your board will bring it to budget season whether you are ready or not. Understand why AI ARR by itself no longer satisfies boards or investors, and what they now demand to see in the numbers. Separate pure AI revenue, AI-influenced revenue, and AI upsell so your reporting survives scrutiny, using clean SKUs, product IDs, and chart of accounts. Know which AI costs belong in COGS, including inference, infrastructure, and observability, so you can show your real AI margins. Walk into budget season ready for the board questions on AI revenue, AI cost, and margin by revenue stream. Instrument heavy, medium, and light AI users so you can defend margins and LTV to CAC as usage scales. Listen now and build the AI transparency your board will expect before budget season starts.

After the blizzards and ice storms of winter, after the tornadoes and severe weather of a volatile spring, summer arrives like a long-awaited promise finally kept. Longer days, warmer nights, and the slow, steady emergence of blossoms and budding leaves — all of it bearing witness to a God who set the seasons in motion and has been faithfully keeping them ever since. Lynette Kittle invites us to welcome summer not just as a change in weather, but as an occasion to praise the God whose faithfulness never wavers with the forecast. Genesis 8:22 anchors everything: as long as the earth endures, summer and winter, seedtime and harvest, day and night will never cease. God made that promise, and He has kept it through every drought, every flood, every natural disaster, and every upheaval the world has ever known. Summer's arrival is not an accident — it is the fulfillment of His word. Lynette draws our eyes to the unhurried pace of summer's growth, the slow turning of blossoms into fruit, as a picture of the same faithful provision God pours into our own lives. He ordained the seasons, He waters the land, and He meets our daily needs with the same generous, unwavering care He extends to all of His creation. Bible Verse "When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near."— Luke 21:30, NIV Ponder Today Summer's arrival is a promise kept. God declared in Genesis 8:22 that the seasons would never cease, and every summer that comes is evidence of His faithfulness to His word — regardless of the chaos the world brings in between. God made the seasons — and He made them for you. Psalm 74:17 tells us that God set the boundaries of the earth and made both summer and winter. The beauty of the natural world is not accidental; it is the ongoing work of a Creator who delights in His creation. Every season has its purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that there is a time for everything. Winter's bareness and spring's fury are not wasted — they prepare the ground for summer's growth and fruitfulness. God's word, like rain, never returns empty. Isaiah 55:10-11 draws a direct line between the rain that waters the earth and the word of God that goes out from His mouth — both accomplish exactly what He intended, without fail. Summer's slow, daily growth is a picture of God's provision in our own lives. Just as blossoms quietly turn into nourishing fruit day by day, God is faithfully and generously at work in us, meeting our needs in ways we may not always immediately see. A Prayer for You Today Dear Father, today we welcome summer with Your promises of growth and abundance for the coming months. We praise You for Your faithfulness in watering, cultivating, and causing growth in the plants and fields of the earth and in our lives. Help us, daily, to see in the upcoming months how it is Your hand graciously providing for and meeting our every need. Because we believe You are in control of the seasons, let Your name be praised throughout the summer months ahead. Fill our hearts to overflowing with gratefulness for You and Your loving care over our land and lives. In Jesus' name, Amen.

The Giants finally have reasons for optimism, but the cost of buying in too early is ignoring the same “ifs” that burned fans before. Jaxson Dart, John Harbaugh, Malik Nabers, Cam Skattebo, Arvell Reese, and Colton Hood all give Giants fans something to watch, but this episode keeps the pressure where it belongs: the team has to prove it.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Can Jaxson Dart and John Harbaugh make the Giants a consistent winner in 2026? They can, but only if Dart takes a real Year 2 step, Harbaugh's practice structure translates into September preparedness, and the roster's biggest “ifs” turn into actual answers.Drew opens with NFL Media's Eric Edholm laying out a possible Giants path back to respectability, and maybe even playoff relevance. The optimism makes sense on paper: Dart had rookie flashes, Nabers and Skattebo could return healthy, the offensive line may be trending upward, and the defense still has real talent up front. But Drew pushes back hard on the number of conditions attached to that hope. The Giants went 1-7 in one-score games last year, the Eagles still own the division, and the secondary still has real questions. The message is simple: optimism is available, but the Giants have to earn it.Is John Harbaugh the one reason this year feels different?The Harbaugh conversation centers on Charlotte Carroll's minicamp takeaway from The Athletic. Longer practices, more situational reps, and a tougher tone already separate this regime from the Brian Daboll era. Drew argues that Harbaugh may be the only reason to feel cautious optimism right now, because the Giants too often looked unprepared early in seasons under the prior staff.The Jaxson Dart section becomes the main quarterback debate. Gary Davenport of Footballguys listed Dart as one of eight players set to explode into stardom in 2026, and the upside is clear: rushing production, early touchdown-drive success, confidence, and a more vocal presence. But the concern is just as clear. Dart's physical style already created concussion worries, and the offense badly needs Malik Nabers to return as a true top weapon. Andrew Thomas' comments about Dart's improved communication matter because he has seen Dart's growth up close, while Isaiah Likely's praise carries weight because he came from a Lamar Jackson-led offense.Are Giants fans putting too much on Arvell Reese too early?Drew and Rob then move into rookie expectations, starting with Arvell Reese. Frank Bush's message was not to turn Reese into someone else or overload him too soon. That led to a bigger debate about unrealistic comparisons, especially the habit of comparing every athletic defensive rookie to Micah Parsons. The hosts agree Reese does not need to become a superstar overnight. A realistic rookie year should be about sound football, being in the right spots, flashing athleticism, and growing into the role.The episode closes with Colton Hood, who may be the rookie the Giants need most. Donald D'Alesio praised Hood's mindset, strength, and fast learning, and Drew explains why the cornerback room makes Hood's development so important. The Giants need more than another rotating cast of replacement-level corners. Hood does not have to become an instant CB1, but if he can become a reliable, physical starter, that would change a lot for this defense.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsAll episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Sometimes freedom begins with questioning a rule you've never challenged. There are so many ways we stay stuck that have nothing to do with discipline, willpower, or motivation. Often, we're simply following rules we inherited long ago—rules about being good, doing things the right way, earning approval, and proving our worth. When I found myself staring at more than 38,000 emails on a beautiful Saturday morning, I realized I was about to spend precious time and energy trying to solve a problem according to someone else's system. In that moment, I stopped asking how I was supposed to manage my inbox and started asking a much more important question: What do I actually want? What followed was a powerful reminder that when a system doesn't work for us, we often assume there's something wrong with us instead of questioning the system itself. Together, we'll explore the underlying commitments that quietly drive our choices, the hidden rules that keep us trapped in old patterns, and how to recognize when something that once protected you has become a cage. This episode is an invitation to release what no longer serves you, reclaim your right to choose differently, and trust yourself enough to create your own path forward. What we explore: How underlying commitments shape your decisions Why freedom begins with honoring what you truly want The Transformation Equation How release, reclaim, and rebirth creates lasting change The power of self-permission in everyday life If you're ready to reconnect with yourself and create meaningful change, join me for my free 5-day experience, Reignite Your Spark, at nancylevin.com/spark Connect with me: Newsletternancylevin.comInstagramFacebook  

If you've been asking, “Is My Child's Behavior Normal?” you're not alone. Knowing when to wait and when to act can feel overwhelming—but it starts with understanding patterns. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™, helps you decode dysregulation with clarity and confidence.Worried and constantly Googling, “Is My Child's Behavior Normal?” You're not alone. When big reactions, meltdowns, or mood swings keep showing up, it's hard to know what's a phase—and what needs support.Here's how to read the signs and respond with confidence.Is My Child's Behavior Normal or a Sign of Something More?If you're asking this, it's not coming from curiosity—it's coming from concern. You're seeing patterns: big emotions, tough recoveries, or ups and downs that don't quite sit right.Here's the shift: Stop asking if it's “normal” and start asking what the behavior is telling you about your child's nervous system. Behavior is communication.All kids have big feelings—that's developmentPatterns tell the real story, not one-off momentsYou're not overreacting—you're noticing something importantHow Often Is Too Often for Meltdowns?Frequency matters more than labels.A meltdown once in a while? That's part of growing up. But when struggles happen daily or constantly, it's a sign the nervous system is overloaded.Occasional = expectedFrequent = a signal something needs supportLook for patterns over time, not isolated eventsOne parent shared her child melted down every night after school—it wasn't “bad behavior,” it was overwhelm spilling out.Why Does My Child Overreact to Small Things?If your child explodes over something minor, it's not about the moment—it's about capacity.Big reactions to small triggers = a stressed nervous system.Does the reaction match the situation?Are emotions escalating quickly?Does it feel bigger than it should?When the brain is dysregulated, even tiny stressors feel huge.Want to stay calm when your child pushes every button? Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit—your step-by-step guide to stop oppositional behaviors without yelling or giving in. Go to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and grab your kit today.Why Does It Take My Child So Long to Calm Down?Recovery is the piece most parents miss.Some kids bounce back in minutes. Others take hours—or even days. That's not defiance. That's limited regulation capacity.Long recovery = full stress cupKids can't “snap out of it” when overwhelmedRegulation skills are built—not forcedThink of it like this: if the cup is overflowing, adding one drop causes a flood.Why Is My Child Fine at School but Falls Apart at Home?This is more common than you think—and deeply misunderstood.Kids often hold it together in structured environments and release it where they feel safest—you.It's called after-school restraint collapseNot manipulation—it's nervous system depletionSafe environments = emotional releaseExample: Josh looked “fine” at school, but had daily meltdowns at home. His brain used all its energy holding it together—and had nothing left.When Should I Worry About My Child's Behavior?Here's your guide. Look at four key patterns:Frequency – Is it constant?Intensity – Does it feel extreme?Recovery – How long to bounce back?Impact – Is it affecting daily life?If you see increasing intensity, longer recovery, and growing impact, it's time to lean in—not wait it out.

What do you do when the life you built around your pets, your purpose, and your plans no longer fits the life you're actually living?In this raw, personal episode, Amy talks about leaving the seven-acre Texas property she bought with her husband less than two years before he died of COVID. What once felt like a dream built around rescue, animals, space, and a future together eventually became more than she could keep carrying on her own.This is not another episode about why Amy stepped back from rescue, you can listen to that here, it is about what happens after a major loss, when the routines and responsibilities that kept you going also start keeping you stuck. It is about grief, capacity, identity, and the hard truth that something can matter deeply and still no longer be sustainable.Amy also talks about bringing her own pets through this transition, the guilt that comes when animals are affected by our life decisions, and the mindset helping her right now: stop trying to make everything perfect and focus on making things less hard.If you are caring for pets while navigating a major life change, questioning what you can keep carrying, or trying to make a responsible decision that still hurts, this episode will meet you there.IN THIS EPISODE:• Why this episode is intentionally less polished than usual• Leaving a property tied to marriage, grief, rescue, and identity• How animals can keep you going after loss• When responsibility becomes pressure• Why love and capacity are not the same thing• What “less hard” can look like during a transition• Why your needs should be part of your pets' care plan too• How to recognize when the life you built no longer fitsMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:• Pet Acting Different?

What happens when a society possesses extraordinary technological power but lacks a shared sense of what that power is for? John Vervaeke, Jordan Hall, Guy Sengstock, and Christopher Mastropietro reunite for a sustained inquiry into normativity: the structures by which human beings perceive direction, value, responsibility, and the difference between better and worse action. The question becomes urgent in the context of artificial intelligence, where increasingly consequential decisions are being made inside a culture that struggles to articulate a coherent basis for judgment. The conversation begins with Guy's encounters with the AI community and the fear that humanity may soon make decisions it cannot reverse. From there, the group investigates modernity's technological understanding of being, the reduction of creation to artifacts, and the modern self's attachment to sole authorship. John and Jordan propose that meaning is participatory: intelligibility is not manufactured by isolated selves but emerges through shared authorship with other people, traditions, practices, and reality itself. The dialogue then turns toward virtue. If the problem is not simply ignorance but malformed attention and desire, knowing what should be done is insufficient. The deeper difficulty is how people become capable of wanting, perceiving, and participating in what is good. Socratic aporia, vulnerability, kenosis, embodied practice, pilgrimage, and dialogue are explored as ways of undergoing reorientation rather than merely acquiring information. In the final movement, the speakers discuss bad-faith dialogue, leisure, lingering, tourism, linguistic lostness, and doomscrolling. These apparently different subjects converge on one insight: when people remain sealed inside environments engineered around their existing capacities and preferences, they lose access to the forms of friction, surprise, and participation that can transform them. Key Insights Normativity is the directional structure through which actions appear better, worse, appropriate, or necessary. The AI crisis exposes a deeper cultural inability to answer what technology should serve. Modernity often confuses participation in creation with ownership of the resulting artifact. Meaning and intelligibility require shared authorship rather than sovereign individual control. Virtue cannot be transmitted as information alone; it requires transformed attention and participation. Embodied practices can reorganize abstractions because higher cognition remains rooted in sensorimotor life. Pilgrimage, leisure, and dialogos help people cross boundaries between worlds rather than consuming only familiar inputs. Doomscrolling is an efficient example of technology feeding hypertrophied capacities while narrowing participation in reality.

Motivation is often treated as the solution to retention, but according to behavior change expert Dr. Heather McKee, motivation may be one of the least reliable things fitness professionals can build around. In this episode, JT sits down with Heather to unpack why more access, more information, and more data are not creating better long term habits. Together they explore the science of behavior change, why traditional goal setting often backfires, and how operators can create systems that help people keep showing up long after motivation fades.

Today on The Gist, a look into the local New York controversy surrounding Mayor Zoran Mamdani's initiative to stream World Cup and NBA Finals games on Link NYC kiosks. Then, television writer-producer Michael Schur and veteran sports columnist Joe Posnanski return for the conclusion of their interview discussing their collaborative book, Big Fan: Two Friends, 82,490 Miles, and the Wild, Wonderful Sports We Love. The duo unpacks how the modern NIL system has injected absolute chaos into college sports, the psychological dynamic of fan entitlement, and why the intense burden of aging outpaces our raw desire for stadium treks. Then, in the spiel, a deep dive into the high-stakes Democratic primary in New York's 13th congressional district.
