What can a lifelong love of the Buffalo Bills teach us about resilience, loyalty, leadership, and how to keep going when life knocks us down?In this heartfelt and surprisingly insightful episode of Whinypaluza, Rebecca Greene is joined by her husband Seth Greene to explore the powerful life lessons she has learned from growing up surrounded by Buffalo Bills fandom. From never giving up and believing in yourself to the importance of community, showing up, adjusting when things are not working, and celebrating small wins, this conversation goes far beyond football. Using stories of Bills Mafia, family traditions, and the emotional highs and lows of game day, Rebecca connects sports, human behavior, mental health, and everyday life in a way that feels relatable, comforting, and motivating. Whether you are a Bills fan or not, this episode is about resilience, hope, and learning to enjoy the journey even when the outcome is uncertain. Life Lessons from the Buffalo B…Key Takeaways→ Never give up. It does not matter how many times you get knocked down. What matters is getting back up and keeping going. → Loyalty matters. True fans show up even when things are hard. Look around your life and ask who your real people are. → Believe. If you can believe in a team through tough seasons, you can learn to believe in yourself, too. → Use your village. Community support is essential for mental health, resilience, and growth. Do not try to do life alone. → Progress is not linear. A few steps forward and a few steps back still count as progress if you keep moving. → Celebrate small wins. Do not wait for the big milestones. Celebrate the good plays in life as they happen.Quote from the Episode“Take the hope you have for the Bills and bring it home to yourself.” - Rebecca GreeneIf this episode resonated with you, share it with a Bills fan or someone who could use a reminder to keep going.

If you've ever watched your child's mood shift the moment they step into a handoff…Or felt the sting of being kept at arm's length for reasons you can't explain… You're not imagining it. In blended families, kids often carry emotional burdens they were never meant to hold.In this episode, we name two of the most common “under-the-surface” struggles: loyalty binds (when a child feels torn between a bio parent and a stepparent) and parental allegiance (when a child feels pressure to align with one parent over the other). We share real-life stories, including the quiet pain behind the rejection of a stepparent's sweet gesture, and the way a joyful moment can suddenly collapse into guilt after a call with the other parent.But we don't stop at awareness. We give you a plan. We'll help you slow down, step into your child's shoes, and create emotional safety. We'll help step-parents stay hopeful and keep expectations realistic. And we'll challenge bio parents to protect their kids from adult tension by choosing the neutral zone (where curiosity lowers the temperature and kids are freed to love without feeling responsible for anyone's emotions).The win isn't perfect co-parenting or flawless moments. It's this: kids get out of the middle, pressure starts to lift, and your home has room for trust, connection, and peace to grow. You'll Discover:The difference between a loyalty bind and parental allegiance, and how each one shows up in real life. How emotion coaching helps your child process hard feelings without forcing apologies or rushing an unrealistic "fix". What step-parents can do to cope with rejection (and why “crockpot bonding” protects your heart and builds trust over time). The subtle ways parents accidentally tighten the bind and what to say/do instead to keep kids free to love everyone in both homes. How to find and stay in the neutral zone when insecurity, fear, jealousy, or discomfort hits.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sat down with Iranian activist and campaigner Lily Moo for a harrowing and urgent conversation on the unfolding crisis inside Iran, the collapse of the Islamic Republic's legitimacy, and the fight for freedom.Lily explains what she is hearing directly from contacts and family inside Iran amid widespread blackouts, mass arrests, and violent crackdowns by the IRGC. We discuss the scale of the protests, the reported death toll, and why many Iranians believe the country is now in a revolutionary moment rather than another failed uprising.The conversation explores the role of economic collapse, sanctions, and inflation, alongside decades of repression, executions, and ideological control. Lily describes how protests spread from the Tehran bazaar across the country, why mosques have become symbols of regime violence, and how fear has given way to open defiance.We also examine Iran's relationship with the West, the threat posed by the IRGC beyond Iran's borders, and the growing calls for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as a unifying transitional figure. Lily argues that Iran's future depends on reclaiming national identity, restoring dignity, and ending decades of Islamist rule.A powerful and deeply personal conversation about revolution, exile, courage, and whether Iran is finally approaching a decisive break with its past.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:40 Lily's Activism & Life Under Threat05:35 Leaving Iran, Assimilating in Britain & Loyalty to the Crown08:24 IRGC Threats on British Soil10:12 What Is Actually Happening Inside Iran Right Now12:06 Reza Pahlavi, Monarchy & the Question of Leadership16:01 Economic Collapse, Sanctions & the Spark of Revolution19:39 Regime Fear, Military Pressure & Strategic Deterrence24:34 Is This a Revolution or Another Uprising?30:46 Blackouts, Mass Killings & First-Hand Testimony35:50 Why This Moment Is Different37:07 Persian Identity, Zoroastrian Roots & National Memory41:30 Religion in Iran: Islam, Christianity & Conversion45:57 Regime Change, Chaos & the Fear of the Unknown48:10 Can Reza Pahlavi Actually Govern?52:45 Foreign Intervention, History & Legitimacy56:46 Who Would Run Iran After the Regime Falls1:01:43 London Protests, Activism & Calling Out the BBC1:05:16 Final Reflection Hosted on Acast.

Expedia (EXPE) is up 61% in six months, with digital traffic up 13% year-over-year. Likefolio's Megan Brantley explains that this growth is driven by premium travel and a unified loyalty platform. Expedia's Hotels.com and Vrbo brands are outperforming Airbnb (ABNB) in consumer sentiment. While the high-end consumer is doing the heavy lifting, Megan remains cautious about the stock's valuation ahead of earnings.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

What if the field, the stage, and the screen are teaching more than they entertain? We follow the breadcrumbs from rainbow pregame shows to franchise rewrites and ask a blunt question: are we financing stories that catechize us against our own first principles? Not every change is propaganda, but when ideology outranks story logic, it's a clue. From there we pivot to the deeper plumb line that keeps convictions straight under pressure.Scripture frames the test. Song of Solomon paints a rich, covenantal vision of love and fidelity that pushes back on a culture of performance and self-rule. Matthew's parable of the net, Nazareth's unbelief, and Herod's fatal oath reveal how judgment, familiarity, and vanity shape destinies. Psalm 18 reminds us that courage is borrowed strength, and Proverbs 4 insists that wisdom is the best defense. Together they ground a standard that doesn't sway with trends.History adds weight. We honor Medal of Honor sailor Charles Bradley, an immigrant who proved loyalty through duty and courage. Then we unpack Theodore Roosevelt's “fair play” letter: no mercy for disloyalty, no discrimination against loyal Americans because of birthplace or parentage. That's the balance we've lost. Loyalty should be measured by lived allegiance to the principles that birthed American liberty—truth above state, conscience protected, law under God. Ideologies that deny those roots, whether fashionable or fierce, cannot sustain freedom.We close with a practical charge: steward your attention, measure your media by coherence and truth, and build homes that carry the fragrance of covenant love. If this conversation sharpened your thinking, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find it. Your attention is powerful—aim it on purpose.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe Countryside Book Series https://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2

Proverbs 19:22–24 defines true worth in ways the world often ignores. What is desired in a person is loyal love and faithfulness, and a poor man with integrity is better than a liar with means. Yet the passage also warns of the quiet self-destruction of sloth—so extreme that even basic effort is abandoned. In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore how God measures character, why covenant loyalty outweighs material success, and how laziness ultimately consumes itself.

Queen Elizabeth II did not merely “stand by” Prince Andrew; she enabled him, protected him, and absorbed institutional damage on his behalf for years while pretending the situation could be managed away. Even after Andrew publicly humiliated the monarchy with the Newsnight interview and confirmed to the world that he was incapable of basic judgment or remorse, the Queen kept him cocooned inside royal privilege. He was shielded from immediate consequences, allowed to retain status, security, and proximity to power, and quietly insulated from the same accountability any other public figure would have faced. This was not ignorance or inertia. It was a deliberate choice to place dynastic loyalty over moral clarity, survivors, and public trust. The Palace's silence functioned as protection, and the Queen's refusal to decisively cut Andrew loose signaled that royal blood still mattered more than credible allegations of sexual exploitation. Every month Andrew remained sheltered sent a message that consequences were negotiable if your surname was Windsor.Andrew, for his part, behaved exactly like someone who knew he was protected. He refused interviews unless forced, avoided U.S. authorities, staged photo ops with his mother, and clung to the fiction that this was all a misunderstanding he could outwait. When the Queen finally intervened directly, it was not an act of moral awakening but of institutional triage. The one-on-one meeting where Andrew was told to step down was a command issued far too late, after settlements were paid, reputations were torched, and the monarchy had been dragged through years of self-inflicted damage. Even then, Andrew was not expelled or disgraced in any meaningful way; he was quietly sidelined, stripped of duties but kept comfortable, protected, and silent. The Queen did not hold him accountable so much as she managed him out of sight. Andrew escaped public reckoning, and the monarchy preserved itself at the cost of credibility. What remains is not a story of tragic family loyalty, but of power protecting itself until the last possible second, then pretending restraint was responsibility.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Late Queen tried to 'soften the blow' of Andrew losing his titles 'one-on-one' - but the 'painful' meeting left ex-Duke 'blindsided', royal expert reveals | Daily Mail Online

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1244: Today we're talking about Tesla's FSD flip to subscription-only, the continued softening of auto credit conditions, and a loyalty report that says your customers are expecting way more. Show Notes with links: The Dealertrack Credit Availability Index closed out December at 99.6—its highest reading of 2025 and the strongest level since October 2022. It marks a continued return to pre-pandemic credit conditions, capping off a yearlong trend of easing lending standards.Approval rates rose to 73.7%, up 90 basis points from November and 80 bps from December 2024.Average contract rates dropped from 10.5% to 10.3%, while yield spreads also narrowed—making pricing more attractive for buyers.Subprime lending edged down from 14.3% to 14.1% month-over-month, though still up from 11.8% a year ago.Loans over 72 months grew in share, as consumers stretch payments to keep monthly costs manageable.Captive lenders led the loosening, but banks, credit unions, and finance companies all showed increased flexibility.Starting February 14, Tesla will stop offering its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system as a one-time purchase, moving exclusively to a monthly subscription model, according to CEO Elon Musk.FSD, which still requires active driver supervision, currently costs $8,000 or $99/month.Tesla hasn't said how many users pay for FSD, but Musk once admitted he was "kind of glad" not many bought the lifetime option.The shift may be tied to Musk's compensation package, which includes hitting 10 million active FSD subscriptions.California regulators are still considering suspending Tesla's sales license for 30 days over alleged misleading marketing of FSD capabilities.Tesla has not disclosed how many of its customers have bought or are paying monthly subscriptions for FSD.In its 28th annual Customer Loyalty Engagement Index, Brand Keys found that consumer expectations jumped a record-breaking 32% year-over-year — a shift that's shaking up brand rankings across industries and putting serious pressure on retailers to evolve.Hyundai once again ranked highest among automotive brands for meeting modern consumer expectations — its 17th year holding that title.Nearly 40% of product and service categories saw new leaders emerge, signaling a wave of disruption driven by more demanding buyers.Loyalty continues to deliver ROI: a 5% improvement can boost lifetime customer profits by up to 88%, while a 2% lift can cut marketing costs by nearly 30%.Amazon, Whole Foods, Shell, Ben & Jerry's, and Dollar General were also among the top performers in their categories.“The bottom line: loyalty moves markets.” – Robert Passikoff, President of Brand KeysJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

The conversation shifts from player legacy into a bigger question that sits under everything in modern collecting: is this a hobby, an industry, or both? The panel reacts to ideas raised from Brett McGrath's Stacking Slabs and uses it as a launch point to talk about the ecosystem that keeps cards moving, including dealers, flippers, LCS owners, breakers, repackers, and every type of market participant in between. Jeremy lays out a blunt argument: even collectors who never sell a card still depend on selling, and many of the things people complain about are not going away, especially breaking. From there, the chat gets into real pushback, including whether breakers are truly necessary for cards to reach collectors, whether breaking is “good” for the hobby or just the industry, and how wax pricing and distribution models changed post-Covid. In this segment: Loyalty to one-team careers and how that impacts rookie card identity Hobby vs industry and why the market behaves like an ecosystem Breakers, repackers, and what actually puts singles into circulation Flippers vs dealers and where the overlap really lives Wax value, expected value, and why opening product is still a gamble A collector-first take on why “industry talk” turns some people off A practical idea for newcomers: open one box, track every card, sell everything, learn fast This discussion lives right at the intersection of hobby identity and market reality, where emotion, nostalgia, economics, and behavior all collide. It's candid, sometimes uncomfortable, and very much rooted in real collector experience, with the chat actively shaping where the conversation goes. There's no attempt to settle the debate, just to understand it more clearly. Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and join us Saturday nights on YouTube for Sports Cards Live.

In this solo episode, I am opening up about a big life change. I recently resigned from my clinical job.

What remains is not a story of tragic family loyalty, but of power protecting itself until the last possible second, then pretending restraint was responsibility.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Late Queen tried to 'soften the blow' of Andrew losing his titles 'one-on-one' - but the 'painful' meeting left ex-Duke 'blindsided', royal expert reveals | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

It doesn't anymore.Power creep, rotating threats, and shifting answers mean Legacy now punishes rigid deck identity. Being “the Miracles guy” or “the Reanimator player” might feel comfortable — but it can actively cost you matches, especially when you don't understand how opposing decks actually function.We dig into:Why deck loyalty no longer works in modern LegacyThe difference between deck identity vs. archetype identityHow power creep and new printings force constant adaptationWhy playing decks you hate makes you better at beating themLearning play patterns vs. just knowing card textA painful Eternal Weekend Painter loss — and what it revealedGoblin Engineer, Goblin Welder, and “hidden Demonic Tutors”Why “knowing your enemy” matters most for control playersThe danger of being too precious with your play experienceHow touching your deck (tutors, cantrips) defines archetype powerThe takeaway is simple but uncomfortable:If your goal is to be a better Legacy player, you need to stop being loyal to a single deck and start being loyal to improvement.Deck loyalty is dead.Adapt — or keep losing to play patterns you don't understand.JOIN US ON DISCORD: https://discord.gg/hrC7PxQZTEProudly supported by Three For One Trading: shop.threeforonetrading.comCardmillhttps://cardmill.com/EternalDurdlesMOXFIELDEternal Durdles Moxfield: https://www.moxfield.com/users/EternalDurdleshttps://www.moxfield.com/users/Durdlemagushttps://www.moxfield.com/users/ForceofPhil
Ebo Sosa breaks down how he was pulled into gang life in Georgia at a young age, cycling through county jails and prison boot camps before eventually getting caught up in a RICO case that changed everything. He shares what it was really like being sent to some of Georgia's most violent state prisons, the constant danger inside, and the mindset it took just to survive day to day.

On this episode of Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Wil Slickers, Michael Goldin, Brandreth Canaley, and Jamie Lane dig into three stories shaping travel and lodging as 2026 gets underway. They start with how credit card rewards are now rivaling traditional airline and hotel loyalty programs, reshaping how travelers earn, redeem, and choose where to stay. The team discusses a major development in travel tech following reports that KAYAK's CEO attempted to take the company private. Wil is going to host a short GMH special with Dennis Schaal to dive deeper into that story for anyone who wants the full backstory. They close with a look at former President Trump's proposal to ban large investors from buying homes and what that could mean for housing supply, short-term rentals, and the broader hospitality market.

This episode is a heartfelt tribute and a powerful reminder of what truly makes a music school memorable. After the passing of Greg Hipskind, founder of QC Rock Academy, Dave reflects on the quiet but profound impact Greg had on his students, families, and community. Not through flashy ads or clever funnels, but through generosity. In this episode, you'll discover how generosity can become one of the most effective (and overlooked) marketing strategies in your music school. You'll learn: Why the most talked-about music schools give students experiences, not just lessons How "talk triggers" turn ordinary schools into word-of-mouth machines Why generosity doesn't have to be spontaneous—and how to systematize it Simple, realistic ways to build community outside the lesson room Why the impact of generosity won't show up in spreadsheets—but will show up in retention and referrals If you've ever wondered how to make your school stand out, keep students longer, and give parents something genuinely worth talking about—this episode will shift how you think about growth.
Host Clay Edwards highlights liberal hypocrisy in the murder of a young Ukrainian refugee woman on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, by a black man who allegedly shouted racial slurs after the attack. He mocks Democrats' internal conflict, noting their support for Ukrainians (evident in flags and bios) clashes with the victim being a "pretty white girl" in America—seen as a disadvantage in their "oppression scales"—while the killer is black, from a Democrat city, and fits narratives they defend. Edwards argues liberals weigh factors like potential queerness to decide sides but ultimately can't support a white victim over a black perpetrator unless the latter is Republican, leading to no outrage or protests compared to cases involving police. He accuses them of double standards, prioritizing identity politics over justice, and questions why legal white immigrants face violence without liberal backlash.
Science says showering with your partner lowers stress… but does it raise arguments over water temperature? Big Rich, TD, and Fletch break down the study and debate whether it's romance or a slippery disaster. Then things get emotional as they ask San Diego listeners the tough question: are you rooting for the Chargers this weekend—even after they bailed on the city? To calm everyone down, it's Bar Cart Friday, which means tequila is flowing, opinions get louder, and stress levels (allegedly) drop even further.

Send us a textRHOSLC Greek Tragedy or Group Therapy Gone Wrong?RHOSLC Season 6 Episode 16 Sisters of Salt a Greek TragedyThe RHOSLC Season 6 finale, “Sisters of Salt, A Greek Tragedy,” opens with ritualistic visuals—white robes, masks, and an ominous “12 hours earlier”—setting the stage for what becomes one of the most emotionally chaotic finales in franchise history. As the women settle into Greece, Angie reveals she's commissioned a playwright, Stella, to write a play inspired by the group. The ladies describe themselves with varying levels of self-awareness, while underlying tensions simmer, particularly surrounding Meredith's behavior. Bronwyn reveals Meredith has been privately texting her, expressing paranoia that the group is “out to get her,” while simultaneously denying those conversations when confronted—fueling accusations of manipulation and emotional dishonesty.As the trip continues, Angie reconnects with her Greek roots, sharing painful family history involving war, loss, and migration, providing one of the episode's few grounded moments. Meanwhile, fractures deepen: Bronwyn confronts Meredith directly, accusing her of using her loyalty against others and ultimately cutting ties. The mood grows heavier on the sprinter van, where Meredith retreats into icy silence, while the rest of the group questions her credibility. By the time they arrive at a remote, haunted-looking location for the play, the group is emotionally primed for destruction rather than healing.The theatrical performance, The Sisters of Salt, becomes a brutal mirror—less Greek tragedy, more emotional firing squad. One by one, the women are “roasted” for their perceived flaws, culminating in accusations of betrayal, emotional walls, and performative vulnerability. The fallout is immediate: tears, walk-offs, and final confrontations. Meredith exits after being told the group is worried she's spiraling, while Bronwyn delivers a final blow by referencing rumors about Seth. As the episode closes, the women reflect on fractured relationships, personal growth, and unresolved pain—leaving viewers with lingering questions about authenticity, loyalty, and whether Meredith has ever truly let the audience see her real life.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

THE MACKINTOSH MAN (1973) rarely gets top billing in Cold War spy cinema—but should it? In this episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, Dan and Tom take a fresh, clear-eyed look at John Huston's subdued espionage thriller starring Paul Newman and James Mason. Overshadowed by flashier spy movies, THE MACKINTOSH MAN instead leans into bureaucracy, moral ambiguity, and procedural realism. The question is simple: does that restraint elevate the movie—or drain it of tension? We break down the movie's place in the evolution of spy cinema, tracing its DNA back to genre heavyweights like THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, THE IPCRESS FILE, and FUNERAL IN BERLIN. Rather than gadgets and glamour, this movie focuses on tradecraft, false defections, institutional mistrust, and information as the true weapon. Loyalty is provisional, romance is transactional, and victory feels administrative rather than triumphant. Dan and Tom explore the movie's acting performances in detail, from Paul Newman's restrained and often criticized lead turn to James Mason's quietly menacing antagonist, whose civilized threat anchors the movie. They also examine Dominique Sanda's enigmatic role, the strong supporting British character actors, and how John Huston's classical storytelling style "borrows and defangs" familiar spy tropes. The episode contrasts THE MACKINTOSH MAN sharply with James Bond movies, highlighting fundamental differences in ideology, structure, and tone. Where Bond offers agency, clarity, and spectacle, Huston delivers opacity, manipulation, and unease. The discussion also covers reception, pacing issues, production trivia, and real-world influences behind the prison escape and defection plot. Whether you love slow-burn espionage or find it frustratingly opaque, this episode digs deep into what THE MACKINTOSH MAN gets right—and where it loses its edge. A must-listen for fans of serious spy movies and Cold War cinema history. Tell us what you think about our fresh look at THE MACKINTOSH MAN Finally, do you agree with our assessment here?

What if airlines stopped thinking in terms of seats and schedules and started designing for the entire journey instead? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Somit Goyal, CEO of IBS Software, to talk about how travel technology is being rebuilt at its foundations. Since we last spoke, AI has moved from experimentation into everyday operations, and that shift is forcing airlines to rethink everything from retailing and loyalty to disruption management and customer trust. Somit shares why AI can no longer sit on the edge of systems as a feature, and why it now has to be embedded directly into how decisions are made across the business. We discuss the growing gap between legacy airline technology and rapidly rising traveler expectations, and why this tension has become a defining moment for the industry. For Somit, travel tech is no longer back office infrastructure. It is becoming the operating system for customer experience and revenue. That shift changes how airlines think about retailing, moving away from selling flights toward curating outcomes across a multi day journey that includes partners, servicing, and real time operational awareness. The conversation also explores why agility now matters more than scale, and how airlines are approaching this transformation without breaking what already works. A major part of this episode focuses on IBS Software's deep co-innovation partnership with Amazon Web Services. Somit explains why this is far more than a cloud hosting arrangement, covering joint R&D, shared roadmaps, and AI labs designed to help airlines build modern retailing capabilities faster. We also unpack what "AI first" really means in practice, how intelligence is reshaping offer creation, pricing, order management, and disruption handling, and why responsible AI must be treated as a product rather than a legal safeguard. We also spend time on loyalty, one of the industry's most stubborn challenges. Somit outlines why converging reservations and loyalty systems is such a powerful unlock, how it enables real time personalization instead of generic segmentation, and why loyalty should evolve from a points ledger into an experience engine that delivers value before, during, and after a trip. As airlines race toward 2026, the big question is no longer whether transformation will happen, but who will move with enough clarity and trust to earn long-term loyalty. In a world where AI knows more about travelers than ever before, how do airlines use that intelligence to create better outcomes without crossing the line, and are they ready to rethink the journey from end to end?
