(EDITOR'S NOTE: ⁠View From The Pugh⁠ is a journalism project from ⁠Chris Pugh⁠. ⁠Subscribe to his daily newsletter⁠ and ⁠podcast⁠, ⁠follow him on YouTube⁠ and ⁠sponsor his work⁠)Today's post is sponsored by ⁠StreamYard⁠.The Cleveland Browns are heading into a crucial stretch of training camp with more questions than answers at quarterback. Injuries to Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel have turned what was a four-man race into a battle between just two healthy players. Joe Flacco is expected to start, but the uncertainty surrounding the backup role leaves the team in a tricky position.Chris and Mike, in their latest sports discussion, examined how these injuries might shift the Browns' game plan. Flacco's veteran presence brings stability, but in an NFL season where depth is crucial, the backup quarterback could make or break a playoff push.Adding to the Browns' challenges is the suspension of running back Quinshon Judkins. His absence could force the Browns to lean more heavily on their passing game — a strategy that may falter without a legitimate top-tier wide receiver. Chris and Mike agreed that finding an offensive playmaker should now be a front-office priority.Over in Columbus, the Ohio State Buckeyes are gearing up for their own quarterback decision. Multiple candidates are in the mix, creating healthy competition in the QB room. This battle, paired with one of the most dangerous running back tandems in the country, gives head coach Ryan Day a versatile playbook to work with. The depth on offense could be the deciding factor in Ohio State's push for a national title.On the baseball front, the Cleveland Guardians made several moves at the MLB trade deadline aimed at bolstering their roster for the playoff race. The duo debated whether the Guardians addressed their biggest needs and if the front office should have been more aggressive. With a competitive American League Central, every roster decision will be magnified in the coming months.The conversation wrapped up with a look at March Madness — and the possibility of expanding the NCAA Tournament. Chris and Mike discussed whether adding more teams would enhance the event's excitement or dilute its uniqueness. While expansion could mean more Cinderella stories, it could also mean longer schedules and fewer upsets.From the Browns' quarterback battle to the Guardians' playoff push and Ohio State's championship aspirations, Ohio sports fans have plenty to watch as summer turns to fall.

Kicking things off with a special March Madness-style "bracket game," the hosts pit iconic TV women from the 1960s and 1970s against each other to determine who reigns supreme in pop culture crushes. Along the way, they offer witty banter, personal anecdotes, and sharp opinions about what made these decades—and the women on their screens—so unforgettable. The conversation takes a sharp turn to a heated rant about New Jersey's controversial gas tax hike, sparking a broader discussion about taxation, state politics, and the everyday woes of living in the Garden State. Whether you're a fan of classic sitcoms or looking for a bit of cathartic commiseration over taxes, this episode has something for everyone.In this episode, Jamingo and Deuce discuss:The ultimate bracket showdown of classic TV women from the '60s and '70sWhy men love debating pop culture icons—and whether women care what men talk aboutPersonal favorites (Marcia Brady, Janet from Three's Company, Catwoman vs. Batgirl) and what made them irresistibleThe impact and fallout of New Jersey's notorious gas tax hike, plus a full-on rant about state mismanagement and taxesStories from growing up, working local jobs, and how daily life has changed from free roadmaps to price hikes at the pump

With Paul Catalina & Craig Smoak Aaron Torres joins 365 Sports to push back on the growing calls to expand both the College Football Playoff and March Madness. Torres explains why 12 teams is enough — and how moving to 16 could water down the sport's best regular season. He also sounds off on NCAA tournament expansion, calling it a move no fans want and a cash grab in disguise. Plus, we dive into the Memphis-Big 12 situation and why their rejection despite a major financial offer highlights the cold business of conference realignment.

This week, we're talking to Ryu Yokoi, chief media and marketing capabilities officer for North America at Unilever, about Dove's “Hot Seats” campaign — a bold, culture-hacking activation that shows up where the sweat is real and the stakes are surprisingly high.  Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler, and welcome to this edition of The Big Impression. Today we are talking about how Unilever is breaking taboos, opening up new kinds of conversations and connecting with consumers in some unexpected places. Our guest is Ryu Yokoi Chief Media and Marketing Capabilities Officer for North America at Unilever. We're going to dive into DO'S Hot Seats campaign. It's a bold effort to normalize conversations around full body freshness and engage people across both digital and real world spaces. We'll be talking about how this campaign's activating across concerts, social, retail, and digital platforms. So let's get into it.Ryu Yokoi (00:46):It always starts with understanding our audience and also try to make our products really relevant and desirable in that context. And so the hot seats are originated from social listening within the community. And in particular, one of our, actually her name's Dana Pucci, who leads our PR and influencer work on Dove for North America is a big Charlie XCX fan. And she noted that the Incredible Sweat tour, which was driving and kind of owning the culture last summer in the brat summer, that was(01:21):Unfortunately the Sweat tour smelled not great. And it turned out that Charlie and Troy Sivan were going to be performing in Los Angeles the week before the launch of our new whole body deodorant. We kind did a takeover putting our product in the bathrooms. We sent in creators to sort of experience what a show is like when you can make sweats smell great. And the results were kind of magic because we got just unbelievable. The UVC on this and the Delight with folks attending a concert that actually smelled great was really fascinating, just fantastic response. And that week we had a really great launch of the product, first hitting the digital shells on Amazon and doing great.Damian Fowler (02:02):That sounded like a very fast activation for a campaign.Ryu Yokoi (02:06):It happened literally within 10 days.Damian Fowler (02:08):What was the war room like for that 10 days? How did you strategize to get that done?Ryu Yokoi (02:14):We always emphasize we want to build worlds instead of chasing moments. So when you have an idea of what you're trying to build with the brand, how you show up, then it becomes a lot easier.Damian Fowler (02:25):And tell me a little bit about the tone. I mean, one of you mentioned the humor element of it. Why is that real talk, that humor so key to Dove campaigns?Ryu Yokoi (02:34):Well, I think there's a real authenticity that the brand has earned. We say, oh, it's an authentic, it's only authentic if people believe it. The brand is really comfortable in its own skin. We have a sharp understanding. I think that goes beyond a positioning statement to really understanding what this brand stands for, how it shows up in real life, what it would be like if you were to meet it and still be consistent in our building of that brand means to people.Damian Fowler (03:00):Yeah, I mean, I've got to say I live in New York and I've noticed the campaign on the New York, out of digital, out of home subway screens and it just totally cuts through and I noticed it. And of course you're standing on a New York City platform in terrible heat, humidity, and everyone's sweating. It's like a perfect placement.Ryu Yokoi (03:19):Well, I would say the subway work you've seen is really telegraphing that benefit, right? If you're blessed to be next to somebody who's wearing dove on the subway, then wow, this is a good ride. We've sponsored Charlie's spring tour and we're also showing up at other festivals like Lollapalooza, which have just provide another canvas for us to tell the story.Damian Fowler (03:38):Is it a case that once the campaign's out there in the wild, it builds its own momentum? Or are you actively trying to find new events, new points of pop culture? Kind of.Ryu Yokoi (03:47):That's exactly what we're trying to find, right, is we understand that if we're able to actually become part of the discourse, we're not just broadcasting ourselves in, but actively playing a role and helping people. And we had a similar case where the first weekend of Coachella people were again, lamenting unfortunately didn't smell great, and in this case somebody not us posted saying, well, I wish Dov would come and help here. We really had a lot of fun with it. We flew a plane over Coachella the second week saying, the cavalry's coming help is on the way we hear you need.Damian Fowler (04:24):That's good.Ryu Yokoi (04:25):Some help. And we're going to be there. We lined up folks around the entrances so that folks could kind of get freshen up on the way into the show or get freshened up, and more than a thousand people took advantage of that.Damian Fowler (04:35):Now, I wanted to ask you about some of the key signals or early reads on the campaign. I'm sure you're paying close attention as you evaluate the impact. What do you look for on your dashboard, as it were?Ryu Yokoi (04:47):Right. So I think first and foremost, you're right. Measurement is the most importantDamian Fowler (04:54):Thing.Ryu Yokoi (04:54):But first and foremost, we did this the week before we were launching the product. So the first signal was did we turn well? And weDamian Fowler (05:02):Did.Ryu Yokoi (05:02):And the ramp on the product was really terrific. But I think to your point, it's really important no matter what the channel that you're playing in, what are the leading indicators that we can correlate with performance? In this case, it was one where things happened so quickly and we knew there was literally nothing else happening when we did this, and so we were able to isolate that way.Damian Fowler (05:23):Are there other channels that you are kind of thinking about or could be targeted for the campaign?Ryu Yokoi (05:31):In principle, I want to be able to capture signal everywhere. For me it's just around understanding where are people discussing whatever it is that we're trying to get into the discussion on and being authentic there. So for us, Reddit is a channel we haven't used as much in the past. Certainly now I find it increasingly of relevance for us. So we're trying to build up a skillset there,Damian Fowler (05:55):EspeciallyRyu Yokoi (05:55):Given how important it is with ais. Right.Damian Fowler (05:58):What about audio? Is thatRyu Yokoi (06:00):Podcast? Absolutely podcast. So(06:03):I would say, again, this was highly before it became something that we were rolling out in real life. Oh my goodness, the word is spectator events. Before it became something we were doing in real life as spectator events, it was a highly music driven campaign because we had decided to reboot this classic hip hop song from a few decades ago. And so it was already sort of music oriented and had played that way. But yeah, so for us it's exactly to your point. If we're talking about something that we're doing that's focusing on music or spectators, obviously audio is going to have relevance. Where are Charlie's fans actually discussing this? It turned out it was happening on Reddit. We go there, where are they discussing their experience at the concerts? We were seeing a lot of chatter on TikTok around that. And so we moved there. So we try to be nimble and agile and really be where the discourse is happening.Damian Fowler (07:07):So we're going to zoom out a little bit and just look at the big picture of the landscape beyond the campaign. But as you think about where culture is heading, whether it's wellness, inclusivity, or body confidence, what does the campaign kind of tell us about where Unilever wants to go with its brands or its kind of messaging wants to put out into the marketplace?Ryu Yokoi (07:27):We're all about building desire for our brands at scale. So we want to engage with communities wherever they are. It's about having a deep understanding of who our shopper is, what is driving desire for them, who influences them, and how we can really engage with them and create a discourse where we can try to move towards many to many communication.Damian Fowler (07:49):One of the big challenges for Marcus is balancing the long-term brand building with the short-term sales results. And do you think that there's a tension there right now in a marketplace that's very much dialed into performance?Ryu Yokoi (08:01):Listen, I think that it's really important that you have the right measurement in place and that you can understand both the short-term and long-term effects of the investments that you're making. That's something we really pride ourselves on. We want to be the most outcome oriented advertiser in the marketplace. But the other thing I would say is that more and more data signals and shopability are making it so the funnel is collapsing and we're nearing places when it comes to QR or having true shopability in stream where even executions that in the past would've been considered the most upper funnel can actually drive a transaction in that moment. And I think a future of that's really exciting.Damian Fowler (08:40):So finally, we're going to get into some of these hot seat rapid fire questions here.Ryu Yokoi (08:44):Okay,Damian Fowler (08:44):So you ready?Ryu Yokoi (08:45):Yes, let's go.Damian Fowler (08:46):Alright. What's one thing you're obsessed with figuring out right now?Ryu Yokoi (08:50):We've been talking about how much we've built out resources in this area and all of the interconnections that the data allows us to make. That implies campaigns that become more and more complex and much more complicated to just flight even. And so one of the things that I'm obsessed with is how we simplify that. There's so much change happening to accommodate all of this stuff. So really my big focus right now is on how we make working in this digital landscape easier for everybody involved in it because the amount of choices that we have and the richest is never ending. And so just making that more sustainable.Damian Fowler (09:32):I love that. That's a great answer. What's missing from the media and marketing marketplace that you'd like to see?Ryu Yokoi (09:39):From a Unilever standpoint, we have a few direct to consumer brands that are able to sort of track the media journey all the way through to conversion, but in the bulk of what we sell in traditional, fast moving goods are moving through retail. So what's missing is some way to penetrate that clean from a data standpoint so that those of us brands that aren't doing DTC can have that all the way through. We manage that well today with leading indicators and fast signals, but there's I think even more richness out there for us if we're able to correct that.Damian Fowler (10:15):To bring this kind of full circle outside of CPG, is there a brand that you think is doing a great job connecting with culture right now?Ryu Yokoi (10:22):Yeah, so I would name two. One that we really admire is Lego. I just see the way that they have both made their products, both a vehicle for other brands to build their worlds while also building incredible worlds for themselves. So they've become kind of this almost currency within the way that so many other brands are trying to build their IP in the world. So whether it's like a Formula One drop a Star Wars drop a Harry Potter drop, these things each have so much hype around them and they've learned while doing that so that they're able to propel their own ip, which is really impressive to me. So the other, I would say we had a fantastic opportunity to work with this year as crumble cookie. They were dove soaps, deodorant, lotions that were fragranced inspired by crumble flavors. And so in partnering then we were able to build off of that and make our soaps, our body washes, our deodorants, one of the drops of the winter. We struggled to keep it on shelf. So I'm a big admirer of the work that they've done too.Damian Fowler (11:27):That sounds cool. And then final, final question here. So in Unilever kind of portfolio of brands Dove Ben and, and the goal has always been to spark conversations, that's how we started this conversation. I guess I'm wondering if you could share a moment that reminded you of the importance of that brand led cultural impact that you can have.Ryu Yokoi (11:51):Oh wow. There's so many, but I'll give Dove so that we can show the other side of the coin because we've been talking about a campaign as I was saying, that shows a more playful side, the humorous side of the brand, but one of the areas the brand has focused over the past few years, and we just celebrated 20 years of the Dove Self-Esteem program, and Dove is one of the leading providers of self-esteem education in the world. I think actually we give the most annually self-esteem workshops. And one of the areas we focused recently is body confidence in sport. And so we partnered with Nike a few years ago to do research on the topic of young women in sport. And what we discovered along with them was that young women as they reach their teen years, are dropping out of sports at an alarming rate relative to guys.(12:41):And the chief reason is body confidence is feeling comfortable in your own skin wearing the kinds of outfits that you're wearing when you're playing sports. And so we set out to, together with Nike, actually develop a curriculum for coaches, which is the Body Confidence Sport curriculum that literally teaches coaches how to talk to young women about their bodies in ways that are positive and not discouraging. And so we've now been leveraging almost Trojan Horse, our participation across the big game. Our role as a sponsor of March Madness, we activated it last year with em, Navarro at the US Open really across major sports temples. We've just signed our first kit sponsorship of Gotham FC in the New York, New Jersey area of the Women's Professional Soccer League. And we're partnering with them also where they have a program called Keep Her in the Game. That's all around keeping young women in the New York, New Jersey area, staying, playing soccer. And so all of this focused again on trying to create a platform where we can talk about this and encourage people to go and learn about this curriculum. And the most encouraging thing. A really long-winded answer to your question,Damian Fowler (13:58):That's great.Ryu Yokoi (13:58):What struck me was we were looking back at the research and our spots in the big game have generated really good discourse the past couple of years. Really positive response from folks who've been inspired, not just by the ads themselves, but also I think this year we were one of maybe only a handful of brands that delivered a purpose message in the game. The really encouraging is the group with whom it resonated the most was Girl Dads, right?Damian Fowler (14:26):Yeah.Ryu Yokoi (14:26):The very guys who are probably coaching on the weekend who probably need to know more about how to speak to these young women and keep them comfortable and inspired playing. So it's stuff like that that makes me see all the time. As I was saying earlier, for us it's around how can we show up, how can we add value? How can we actually help the community? And when we do that, then we build trust and then we can have different kinds of dialogues with people and they really know who we are.Damian Fowler (14:54):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression. This show is produced by Molten Heart. Our theme is by Loving Caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns. And remember,Ryu Yokoi (15:03):I think there's a real authenticity that the brand has earned. We say, oh, it's an authentic, it's only authentic if people believe it.Damian Fowler (15:12):I'm Damian, and we'll see you next time. 

Some love him. Some hate him. Some love to hate him. Some hate to love him. He is never shy to share his opinion. And he is never boring. The co-owner and founder of The Field of 68, JEFF GOODMAN returns to the podcast. Jeff weighs in on what he perceives to be the historically weak class of 2026 and why so many top college coaches aren't on the recruiting circuit like they used to be.We also dig in on the current state of money in college basketball and how the balance of power continues to shift. Then, we take a deep dive on Coach Darian DeVries and what has impressed Jeff as he has gotten to know Coach DD better. We talk about why Coach DD can succeed where Woody and Archie failed before him. And we get into what his expectations are for Indiana this season and he gives us his off-season grade for IU.Controversial at times, but Jeff Goodman has given his 10,000 hours to the game of covering college basketball and we welcome his perspective to the show.In addition, I take some time to pay tribute to an IU legend, Bob Hammel, who passed away this week.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.'” - Hebrews 13:5Sports betting is more popular—and more accepted—than ever, even among Christians. But is it just harmless fun, or something more? Dr. David W. Jones returns to our financial ethics series to help us examine what Scripture says about gambling and how believers should approach it.Dr. David W. Jones is Senior Professor of Christian Ethics at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He holds a Ph.D. in Christian Financial Ethics and is the author of Every Good Thing: An Introduction to the Material World and the Common Good for Christians.What Does Scripture Say About Gambling?Proverbs 13:11 reminds us that:“Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”Gambling, which includes sports betting, bypasses God's designed rhythm of work and reward. 1 Timothy 6:9 warns that the desire to get rich quickly leads people into “ruin and destruction.” These verses challenge the notion that a fast win is simply a blessing—it may erode character.Is it always wrong to bet on a game with friends? Not necessarily. A one-time bracket pool during March Madness may not signal a deep moral compromise. But we must ask: Is this behavior occasional and harmless, or has it become habitual and idolatrous?The difference lies in the heart. It's not that gambling created the idolatry of money or sports—it revealed it. And perhaps in God's grace, it's giving us an opportunity to examine what we truly worship.The Stewardship QuestionEvery financial decision we make is a stewardship decision. Psalm 24:1 reminds us:“The earth is the Lord's and everything in it.”So before we spend God's money—even on entertainment—we must ask: Is this wise? Does this reflect my faith? Does it honor the Lord?We must start to think through whether our spending on gambling—even recreationally—glorifies God. That doesn't mean all entertainment is wrong. But we are called to be faithful managers of what belongs to God, and some forms of entertainment carry higher risks than others.Beyond personal stewardship, Christians must consider what they're supporting. The gambling industry is responsible for significant harm. Studies show that 1 in 5 gambling addicts attempt suicide, and addiction is rising fastest among young adults, according to the American Psychological Association.For those in the church, we must acknowledge this cultural shift and lovingly walk alongside people through it, offering them truth, grace, and accountability.Idolatry, Discontentment, and the Way BackSports betting may be legal, but legality is not the same as morality, and morality isn't always wisdom. If your habits reflect discontentment or a misplaced trust in money, that's a red flag.But there's hope. These things are not the unpardonable sin. 1 John 1:9 reminds us: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us... God is always ready to receive us.”Isaiah 26:3 also says:“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”If you're struggling with a gambling habit or questioning your motivations, seek accountability at your local church. And if addiction is involved, please pursue professional help. Freedom is possible—and peace is found not in the thrill of a win, but in keeping your eyes on Christ.Remember: just because it's permissible doesn't mean it's wise. True freedom is found not in betting on uncertain outcomes, but in trusting the God who holds the future.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm trying to understand where tax-free municipal bonds might fit into my overall investment strategy. How can they be used effectively for tax efficiency and generating income, and when would it make sense to include them in a portfolio?I have $19,000 sitting in an old 401(k) account, and I'm considering transferring it into a fixed annuity. I'm not retired yet and plan to return to work in the school system. One option offers lifetime income starting at age 74, but I'm not sure if that's the best use of my funds. What should I consider before making this decision?I'm in the process of updating my will now that I've moved to Texas. I'm wondering if it would be more in line with God's will to allocate a percentage of my estate to the three nonprofit ministries I support, rather than dividing everything evenly among my three children. How should I think through this decision from a biblical perspective?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Every Good Thing: An Introduction to the Material World and the Common Good for Christians by Dr. David W.

For years he tormented IU fans with his sarcastic wit and blunt honesty as a national recruiting analyst for 247. But no one could question his knowledge, connections or insight. Then, he crossed the line from analyst to become the director of recruiting for Micah Shrewsberry at Penn State before following Micah to Notre Dame for the last two years. Today's guest is none other than BRIAN SNOW.In this week's episode Brian gives us his perspective on the current state of college basketball in the world of revenue sharing and the changing world of NIL. Brian breaks down which jobs might now be the best in the country and we talk about Indiana's place in the ever-changing landscape.Brian breaks down what it was like to recruit against Indiana and what the overall perception is of the Indiana program while also getting into specifics on why it just did not work with Archie and Woody and why it very well could with new head coach Darian DeVries. Brian is a guy who does not beat around the bush and calls it like he sees it. Some of which is VERY positive for IU and its future while he also brings up some areas of potential concern.It is a wide-ranging conversation that covers a lot of ground with a guy who has the unique experience of being a national analyst and also a guy who was in the trenches recruiting for a power 4 school. Sure, we love to bust his chops, but can't argue with the man's knowledge!

In a week when the imposition of US tariffs by an increasingly unstable federal government weaponized by white nationalism pushes the US and global economies towards global recession and depression, the University of South Carolina Women's Basketball Team highlights ongoing tensions between race, power, and control in U.S. society.While Black students make up only 10% of USC's student body, they represent over a quarter of the state's population. Meanwhile, South Carolina's political power is shaped by hyper-gerrymandered districts, allowing white nationalist control, seen in actions like the state legislature's recent ban on DEI initiatives.The most potent DEI force in modern world history is the equity that blends the diversity in and inclusion of a full range of racial identities that mask under the label “White.”“March Madness” centers Black bodies on Basketball courts contrasted by predominantly white bands, cheerleaders, and fans whose own lives stand in sharp contrast to the lives of the families of those who entertain them in the arenas, making unavoidable issues of representation and control.In the week marking the 57th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination and funeral, we consider moral, ethical, and political challenges to those resisting diversity, revealing that their motives are rooted in full spectrum dominance, not dislike.Collective struggles for equity reveal clashing and irreconcilable societal visions.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
