Podcasts about lost the plot

RIP John C. Dvorak House of the Dragon Season 3 has officially premiered on HBO! We're reviewing the highly anticipated return of the Game of Thrones prequel and analyze whether Season 3 is living up to the massive expectations. We'll break down the immediate aftermath of Season 2's climax, the current strategies of Team Black and Team Green, and what to expect from the rest of the season. Spider-Man used to be the gold standard for grounded, street-level storytelling. But between the MCU's reliance on high-tech gadgets and an endless loop of multiverse cameos, have we lost the "Friendly Neighborhood" Spider-Man?Donate Here - https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=Y6TSU94STL9PU All our Links - https://linktr.ee/theundergroundxn What is our Value for Value System?

This is what I get for taking a month off because SO much has happened, and it's been nothing but twists and turns. We're talking Suffolk University letting students co-major in AI, ASU launching a degree for aspiring influencers while the U.S. loses 23,000 jobs, YouTube making it harder to get paid, and the latest mess surrounding Jools Lebron. We also have to talk about what's happening to Haitians as TPS ends, the questions surrounding Nolan Wells' death, Trump administration drama, NABJ handing out its Thumbs Down awards, Invest Fest backlash, Luigi Mangione, Flock cameras and the conversation around progressives and Black voters. Then somehow the billionaires went shopping for the Lakers and EA, FIFA switched things up, and pop culture gave us even MORE to discuss. Grab your drink because clearly, we have completely lost the plot. IG: Itswista IG/YouTube/Substack: wordswithwista

UFC controversy, Jayden Daniels and the great LSU jersey-number debate, baseball somehow discovering a fourth out, and the latest circus that is American politics. In this episode, Shane Ramer takes a sarcastic look at the strange world we're living in, and asks why we've become so obsessed with everything, all the time. From athletes and attention-seeking to politics, social media, and the never-ending need to have an opinion, maybe the real problem isn't that there's too much happening... Maybe we're consuming too much of it. Shane also gets into what sobriety taught him about protecting your attention, staying clear-headed, and knowing when to step away from the noise. It's sports. It's culture. It's politics. It's ridiculous. And apparently, baseball has four outs now. Welcome to the plot. We're all a little lost.

Peter Shurman joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss why Canadians increasingly expect government to solve every problem — and why both men believe government should be doing far less.Shurman argues for a more minimalist approach: government should focus on core responsibilities like defence, immigration, transportation, health and education, while leaving businesses and individuals free to build, invest and create.LeDrew and Shurman also discuss how Canada was built by entrepreneurs and small businesses, the expansion of government programs, taxpayer-funded media and proposals for municipally- operated grocery stores.Their message is simple: government should handle the things only government can do — and stay out of everything else.Topics covered in this episode:What government should actually be responsible forThe case for smaller governmentImmigration and national prioritiesHealth, education and provincial responsibilityHow entrepreneurs built CanadaGovernment replacing private initiativeTaxpayer-funded programs and mediaMunicipal governments entering retailWhy bureaucracy keeps expandingLetting business do what government cannot

In this LeDrew rant, Stephen LeDrew argues that Ottawa is ignoring the problems Canadians care about most — crime, lawlessness, economic decline, antisemitism and the weakening of social cohesion.Instead, LeDrew says the federal government is expanding into areas where it does not belong. He takes aim at proposed French-language workplace requirements, plans to give the CBC a larger role in determining truth, the government's position on transgender athletes and calls for additional federal support for the Toronto Star.LeDrew calls it “government creep”: politicians and bureaucrats inserting themselves into more areas of Canadian life while failing to address public safety, affordability and economic growth.With a recent rant reaching more than 150,000 viewers, LeDrew says Canadians are beginning to demand better decisions from government — and from the media meant to hold it accountable.Topics covered in this episode:Crime, lawlessness and public safetyCanada's economic and social declineRising antisemitismGovernment creep and overreachFrench-language workplace rulesThe CBC and government-approved truthTransgender athletes in women's sportsFederal funding for Canadian mediaGovernment priorities and accountabilityWhy Canadians must demand better Hosted on Acast.

We are back with another packed episode of Pop Culture Mondays on Thursdays, covering influencer travel, internet surveillance, viral animals, blockbuster movies, and one unforgettable arrest outfit. First, Brooke breaks down how TikTok and Instagram have turned Europe into an overcrowded, overshared backdrop—and why a recent trip to Paris made her rethink how much we share online. Then, we get into Meta AI glasses, the creepy reality of being filmed without knowing it, the Netflix documentary trend, tan-maxxing, and the darker consequences of going viral. We also meet Jimothy, the short-spined raccoon uniting the internet, before diving into The Odyssey, Sheep Detectives, Tom Hiddleston's Pompeii obsession, and the Andrew Tate memes taking over the timeline.   This week's newsletter: https://popculturemondays.com/2026/07/27/summer-2026-so-far/

LinkedIn Has Lost the Plot — Can the CX Community Fix It? LinkedIn was once the essential networking platform for business professionals, but today it can feel overwhelmed by sponsored posts, algorithmic recommendations, automated sales messages and bland AI-generated content. Even genuine attempts to connect and start conversations are increasingly met with silence or suspicion. Peter Ryan talks to Simma Kularatna, Head of New Business at Interact Contact Centres, about why LinkedIn has become so difficult to navigate and whether it can still deliver value for the CX community. Drawing on her experience of spending several hours each day using the platform, Simma explores how professionals can rebuild trust, create more authentic content and turn passive connections into meaningful business relationships. https://www.linkedin.com/in/skularatna/ https://interactcc.com/ Summary: Mark Hillary and Peter Ryan discuss the relevance and challenges of LinkedIn for the CX community. They reflect on the platform's evolution, noting an increase in AI-generated content and sponsored posts, which dilutes the quality of engagement. Simma Kularatna, from Interact Contact Centres, joins to discuss the decline in genuine connections and relationships on LinkedIn. She emphasizes the need to rebuild trust and engage authentically, suggesting proactive commenting and creating a dedicated CX leaders page. They agree on the importance of LinkedIn for professional networking and advocate for a return to its original purpose of building meaningful business relationships.

Follow me @samirkaji for my thoughts on the venture market, with a focus on the continued evolution of the VC landscape.Welcome back to Venture Unlocked, the podcast that takes you inside the business of venture capital. I'm your host, Samir Kaji.My guest today is Micah Rosenbloom, Managing Partner at Founder Collective, one of the longest standing and respected seed firms in the industry, with early investments in companies like Uber, The Trade Desk, and Coupang. What makes Founder Collective atypical to most successful firms is their decision to keep fund sizes small. In fact, despite their success, they've never raised a fund over 100 million dollars, in a market where nearly every one of their peers has scaled up.In this conversation, Micah and I dig into why they've stayed small, and the data behind it, including a study his team ran on 25 years of venture exits that found the median outcome of the top 500 exits is about 2.7 billion dollars. We also spent time on his post that described why the industry may have lost the plot by obsessing over fund and firm strategy instead of simply focusing on the core of finding unique opportunities that early, priced appropriately, and led by great operators.Micah is a two time founder himself, a clear thinker, and someone who's willing to say what a lot of investors only think. I think you'll get a lot out of this one. Thanks for listening to another episode of Venture Unlocked. I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Micah.

Thanks again for listening.Micah Rosenbloom is a General Partner at Founder Collective, a seed-stage venture capital firm built by founders for founders. Before becoming an investor, Micah co-founded multiple technology companies, including Brontes Technologies, which was acquired by 3M, giving him firsthand experience building and scaling startups. Today, he invests in early-stage companies across enterprise software, healthcare, and frontier technologies, and has backed successful startups including Verkada, Lovevery, Talos, Plated, and Trusted. Known for his founder-first philosophy, Micah is a respected voice on capital efficiency, venture strategy, and building enduring companies.Timestamps:Topics in this conversation include:* Seed Capital Scarcity in Boston and Birth of Founder Collective (5:18)* Why Small Funds Create Optionality and Better Multiples (9:02)* Capital Efficiency vs Growth Treadmill and Founder Psychology (13:08)* Data on Billion Dollar Exits and 2.7B Median Outcome (18:20)* Can AI Change the Exit Math or Just Inflate Valuations?

Bob Nightengale says the Pirates could be willing to listen on Oneil Cruz as they search for bullpen and rotation help. Alex Stumpf explains why trading Cruz now would solve nothing, why his ceiling still matters, and why Pittsburgh should use prospect capital to acquire multiple relievers instead. Before landing on the injured list, Cruz had 14 home runs, 44 RBI, 21 stolen bases and a 123 wRC+ through 64 games. The offense may have survived without him, but that does not mean the Pirates would be better without him.

What has happened to Britain? As drivers on its roads can attest, it is the pothole capital of Europe. Once-beautiful towns now feature peeling paint, weeds, and broken railings. Public services are no longer fit for purpose. A malaise seems to infect every aspect of British life: its economy, polity, social order, sense of well-being, domestic regional relationships, and place in the world. In The Land Where Nothing Works: How Britain Lost the Plot (Princeton University Press, 2026), the distinguished historian A. G. Hopkins offers an explanation, tracing Britain's current problems to decisions made in the 1980s that abandoned its postwar experiment in social democracy and mimicked policies of deregulation and privatisation promoted by the United States. In 1945, the new Labour government's development programme aimed at creating a social democracy that would benefit all members of society. The counterrevolution launched by Margaret Thatcher's government in 1979, which remains in force today, promoted individualism and deregulation. The transition from one programme to another was a response to the growth of finance and services centred on the City of London, and to decolonisation, which redirected trade to Europe. The expansion of credit led to the financial crisis of 2008 and the years of austerity that followed, and fuelled the populist movement that culminated in Brexit. Hopkins argues that, instead of following the free-market policies of its mentor, the United States, Britain should draw on its own history of social democracy and borrow from its neighbours in Europe, where communitarian principles continue to be upheld.

Everyone seems to be chasing the next breakthrough: the newest biohack, recovery tool, supplement, wellness trend, luxury gym membership, or productivity hack.

Join us for episode 489 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast! We're officially off the rails. What started as a constructive conversation about the new Muppet-themed Rock ‘n' Roller Coaster quickly devolved into a complete, unscripted mess. In this episode of Theme Park Trader, we attempt to map out the perfect "Muppet Land" and brainstorm which classic attractions deserve the Muppet treatment. However, things take a turn for the chaotic when we dive into the rumor mill regarding Bluey coming to Rafiki's Planet Watch—a topic that nearly ended the friendship (and the podcast). If you want to hear us argue about intellectual property placement, propose an absurdly high-maintenance Muppet buffet, and admit that we might actually be the Muppets ourselves, this is the episode for you.

Canada's immigration system was once the envy of the world. And for decades, the country enjoyed a bipartisan pro-immigration consensus. But during the Trudeau years, that consensus fell apart. Our guest on the program this week delivered the 2025 McGill Max Bell Lectures on this topic. His new book explores where we went wrong.Tony Keller is a columnist at The Globe and Mail. His book is Borderline Chaos: How Canada Got Immigration Right, and Then Wrong.

William and Harry are described as being at a standoff, and insiders say there's no calls, no messages, no backchannel. Harry is said to be following Diana's playbook, but sources warn he's missing the one thing that made it work. Meghan, meanwhile, is consulting astrologers before major meetings, quietly rebuilding her Netflix relationship with Ted Sarandos, and may be planning a vow renewal. And Serena Williams' attempt to sell Meghan's chocolates doesn't go entirely to plan.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

Wolff describes Trump ricocheting between declaring victory and hinting at escalation, while figures like JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Jared Kushner struggle to keep up with a shifting, unclear strategy. As midterms approach, Trump leans on rising markets even as his coalition fractures, clashing with the Pope and drawing pushback from voices like Tucker Carlson. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chris Cuomo argues that President Trump has “lost the plot” — focusing on Iran while missing the issues that matter most at home. He breaks down why the current approach to Iran may be strengthening the regime's influence rather than weakening it, and why the justification for urgency around nuclear threats doesn't fully hold up under scrutiny. Cuomo also explains how messaging failures and strategic missteps are shaping both the conflict and global perception. The larger point, he says, is about priorities: the real fight isn't overseas — it's affordability, healthcare, and the economic pressure facing Americans right now.

On this episode of On The Ball with Ric Bucher, Ric briefly touches on LeBron James, the Lakers' playoff positioning, Cade Cunningham's award eligibility, and the chaos brewing in the final stretch of the NBA season — but then takes a hard turn into a bigger issue exposed by March Madness.Ric argues that one of college basketball's most celebrated traditions — emptying the bench in the final seconds of a blowout — is not a heartwarming gesture at all. In his view, it can be performative, demeaning, and completely disconnected from what real competitors actually want. Drawing on his own playing experience, the example of Dean Smith, conversations with current athletes, and the firsthand experience of watching his daughter play in the NCAA Tournament, Ric explains why token late-game appearances can feel more like humiliation than reward.This is a sharp, deeply personal episode about coaching, competition, respect, and the life lessons sports are supposed to teach — the same themes at the heart of Ric's upcoming book, Coachable: The Secret to How Legendary Performers Reach Their Highest Potential.Condensed Time Stamps 0:00 Intro, Ric's new book Coachable, United WeCast plugs, and New Air Club 2:46 LeBron's loose-ball dive, Lakers chemistry, and why one moment proves nothing 4:42 Lakers playoff seeding, Rockets vs. Timberwolves, and why size still matters 6:53 Cade Cunningham, awards eligibility, and Ric's broader mission in sports coverage 9:18 The real lessons sports are supposed to teach 9:48 March Madness outrage, coaching clips, and why social media lacks context 11:46 Why Brenda Frese's fiery exchange was not “controversial” 12:50 Ric's real target: the empty-the-bench ritual in NCAA blowouts 14:01 Ric's daughter's March Madness experience with Cal Baptist vs. UCLA 16:02 Why token appearances can feel insulting, not rewarding 17:03 Dean Smith's original approach vs. today's hollow substitution theater 18:13 Why gradual reserve minutes are better for development and respect 20:32 The “don't treat me like a Make-A-Wish kid” story 22:15 Why players don't see garbage-time cameos as meaningful participation 25:16 What college coaches should do instead 27:20 Ric checks with current athletes — and they agree 28:19 Outro and what's next on On The BallHashtags #OnTheBall #RicBucher #MarchMadness #NCAATournament #CollegeBasketball #WomensBasketball #BasketballPodcast #SportsMedia #Coaching #SportsCulture #LeBronJames #Lakers #NBA #CadeCunningham #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.
