January 1st saw a pilot program begin, creating prior authorization requirements for a few procedures performed under Original Medicare in six states. The program will be testing whether enhanced technologies like AI and machine learning can streamline prior authorizations and medical reviews. New, soon-to-be-client Sheryl, is taking a very cerebral approach to the concept of Medicare supplement rate stability. She discovered a site called: SERFF.com and is trying to identify those Medicare supplement plans with less rate stability, which most would prefer to avoid. Inadvertently, she uncovered a pattern that confirms my repeated assertion about Plan G vs. High Deductible Plan G: Plan G increases will be larger and more frequent while the rate increases under HDG will tend to be smaller and less frequent. Finally, I received six messages inviting me to be a guest on a brand new podcast.

Prince Harry arrives at the Royal Courts of Justice to testify in his Daily Mail lawsuit, after a source fires off a defiant pre-court message accusing Associated Newspapers of āgame playing and dirty tricks.ā On the stand, Harry insists on being addressed as āPrince Harry,ā invokes āNever complain, never explain,ā and describes a life of ā24 hour surveillanceā that left him āparanoid beyond belief.ā He clashes with ANL's barrister over alleged sourcing, rejects claims his friends leaked details, and argues the level of reporting could only have come from unlawful methods, including hacked voicemails and private investigators. The day ends with a sharp tonal shift as cross-examination wraps and Harry grows emotional, telling the court: āThey continue to come after me.

Michael Carrick brought back a touch of the glory days for Manchester United fans on Saturday. his team were on the front foot as they beat a lack lustre Manchester City. Was it a one off or is he finally the man to bring back some cheer to Old Trafford?With City losing it was time for other to capitalise. no one did.

Is it a poor season or is the rest of the league just getting better?At the AFCON bizarre scenes saw Sengal leave the pitch in protest at a refereeing decision.

This week, we continue our look at Rob Reiner films with 1990's MISERY. Best-selling novelist Paul Sheldon is on his way home from his Colorado hideaway after completing his latest book, when he crashes his car in a freak blizzard. Paul is critically injured, but he's rescued by former nurse Annie Wilkes, Paul's "number one fan", who (unbeknownst to anyone) takes Paul back to her remote house in the mountains. Unfortunately for Paul, Annie is also a headcase and, when she discovers that Paul has killed off the heroine in her favorite novels, her reaction leaves Paul terrified and trapped with little hope for escape.
As a tribute to the recently passed Rob Reiner, Lee and Daniel cover the two Stephen King Adaptations he directed, those being 1986's "Stand by Me" & 1990's "Misery". A lot of the conversation revolves around Reiner's strengths as an actor's director, and re-casting a possible "Misery" remake. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late, and they read a listener comment.

Is the new MrBeast Lab Mutators toy actually just a box of trash? This week, the guys are fired up about excessive toy packaging! It's not about the toy itself; it's the giant pile of plastic and cardboard garbage left on your floor after a 5-minute unboxing. In today's episode of Fivie Idiots Talking Toys, we talk about the new Mutation Chamber and break down the shocking amount of single-use plastic required to get to the action figure. While the figure itself might be cool, we have to ask: Is the "experience" worth the landfill waste? Let's discuss the problem with modern toy packaging gimmicks. We talk about the biggest offenders, from modern surprise toys like LOL Dolls and #mrbeast Lab Mutators to the gigantic boxes for Marvel Legends and DC Multiverse action figures.

Hour 2 starts with one of the strangest timing moments you'll hear all season: the Bears are in the middle of an epic home playoff comeback against the Packers when news breaks that the Cubs are stunningly signing Alex Bregman. Evan and Tiki debate how a city even processes a massive baseball move during the biggest football night in years, plus a Barstool meltdown from the Boston side of the deal. Then the calls take over, starting with a deep dive into the modern fourth down obsession and the Jaguars decision to pass up points against Buffalo, especially after being gifted field position. The guys break down why ātake the pointsā still matters in January and how one empty possession can flip a playoff game. The hour also hits the Jets fan reality check after watching real playoff football, the quarterback trade up fantasies, and why one Fernando Mendoza quote might have ended Jets dreams on the spot. Plus: the Liam Cohen press conference moment that has media people furious, a debate on whether a reporter can be supportive, and a round of playoff hot takes including which coaches are easiest and hardest to root for.

We celebrate the work of Rob Reiner by taking a look at two of his classic takes on Stephen King works. First up, we look for a dead body in STAND BY ME. Then, we get captured by our number one fan in MISERY.
Fifty years on from the release of the film Carrie, directed by Brian DePalma and based on the first novel by Stephen King, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode look at King adaptations on screen, from The Shawshank Redemption to The Shining. Why is the work of the modern horror maestro so often adapted? And what is the best ever Stephen King adaptation?Ellen hears from US critic and writer Maitland McDonagh, who has been a front-row witness to King on screen for five decades, about her favourite adaptations of his work - from Misery to The Monkey. And Ellen speaks to Edgar Wright - the director of Shaun Of The Dead, Baby Driver and the most recent King adaptation to reach cinema screens - The Running Man. Meanwhile, Mark talks to Mike Flanagan - the filmmaker who, perhaps more than any other in recent years, has helped keep King's work vividly alive on screen, with adaptations of Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep, The Life of Chuck and a forthcoming new take on Carrie.

In this episode we get straight into the fall-out from pulling the plug on Wilfred Nancy after just 33 (thirty three) days. It's one of those situations where you can feel sorry for the guy on a human level, but still accept it simply wasn't working. The performances were grim, the fit was clearly wrong, and the decision (harsh as it looks) was inevitable. We talk about how this sort of thing isn't actually new in football, but how social media has poured petrol on the fire, ramping up pressure, shortening patience, and making every bad result feel like a crisis. And inevitably, that brings us back to the board: not so much the sacking itself, but why we ended up here in the first place.From there, the chat moves on to what comes next and why Martin O'Neil's return is about steadying the ship and getting back to basics. There's a belief that confidence, so clearly missing, can come back quickly with clarity and authority, but only if recruitment finally starts making sense alongside the manager rather than cutting across him. With winnable games coming up, there's a chance to reset the mood and get a bit of momentum going again. But the wider point is clear: Celtic need a plan, not just another reaction. Accountability, joined-up thinking, and a proper football vision are long overdue because misery might love company, but it's not something the club can afford to keep around.Enjoyā¦Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube This is a public episode.

Back in 2018, the New York Times reporters Katie Benner and Erica L. Green exposed the disturbing reality of the T.M. Landry college prep school in rural Louisiana. Celebrated as a āmiracleā institution that successfully sent underprivileged black students to elite colleges, Benner and Green uncovered a miserable school that doctored college applications and bullied its students. Seven years later, Benner and Green have written Miracle Children, a book as much about race, education and false promises in contemporary America as it is about T.M. Landry itself. While Benner and Green's narrative won't please everyone, it should be required reading for those on both the left and right who peddle magical educational solutions to historically complex social problems.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

We're taking a short break from new episodes this festive season, so we're re-releasing our Double Feature Christmas special on the films of Rob Reiner, now serving as a tribute to the legendary director following his tragic passing.Across The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, and Misery, we explore how one filmmaker mastered the fairy tale, the rom-com, and the psychological horror, within 3 years of each other. We debate whether Westley is cinema's greatest romantic hero, ask if Harry and Sally should have just stayed friends, and try to work out how Kathy Bates made us root for Annie Wilkes (just a little bit).

Not because something good happened. Not because he got what he wanted. Because 150,000 people die every single day, and he's not one of them. That's where it starts. He's discovered something most people never realize: you literally cannot be grateful and miserable at the same time. Try it right now. Hold gratitude in your mind and try to feel angry or sad or resentful. You can't do both. Your brain won't let you. So Lewis built his entire life around this truth. Morning gratitude when he wakes up. Evening gratitude with his wife Martha, where they each share three things they appreciate from that day. He's creating a bridge of gratitude from sunrise to sunset, and that bridge gets stronger every single day. The compound effect is real. He calls it breaking through the emotional armor that so many people carry around, that weight you don't even realize you're holding onto.Here's what shifts when you actually do this: your mind starts hunting for what's working instead of what's broken. You train yourself to see the good, and suddenly there's more of it everywhere. Lewis isn't asking you to ignore the hard stuff or pretend everything's perfect. He's asking you to write down three things you're grateful for every day for the next seven days. That's it. Three things. Because when you focus on what's present instead of what's missing, when you make gratitude and generosity your gateway to abundance, you stop reacting to life and start creating the happiness you deserve. Even on the days with heartbreak and stress and all the unfortunate things that happen, you'll have a tool that actually works. You'll notice your energy shift. Your heart shift. You'll start seeing why life is still beautiful, even in the middle of challenge.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
