Proverbs 13:15Defiance affects everyone, no matter your age. And it traps you in your selfishness, stubbornness, indifference, resistance, and contempt. Why not get rid defiance and live according to God's Word. “Good understanding produces favor, but the way of the treacherous is hard,” (Proverbs 13:15 NASB).

The growing buzz around the World Baseball Classic, with callers and hosts debating why the atmosphere feels so electric compared to many MLB games. They break down the difference between national pride and the long grind of a full baseball season, while discussing why some players might value international success differently than a World Series title. The conversation then widens into a broader look at New York's championship droughts across major sports, sparked by a Boston fan trying to take a jab at the city's recent title struggles. That leads to a lively debate about which team is most likely to bring the next championship back to New York, with predictions ranging from the Giants to the Yankees and even a hopeful shout for St. John's basketball. The segment closes with classic sports-radio energy as the hosts and callers argue, joke, and defend their picks.

VR25 - This episode is dedicated to the memory of Cricket, the 14-month-old wirehaired pointer murdered in cold blood by Kristi Noem on an unknown date in a gravel pit in South Dakota. One week after Donald Trump took now-former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's job out to the gravel pit, Thomas, Lydia, and Matt get together for a post-mortem. After a brief amuse douche from Noem's (ahem) closest advisor, Matt plays the one excerpt from her 2024 campaign book “Not Going Back” which should have disqualified her from a Cabinet seat. (No, not that one! But we also revisit that story too and it's so much worse--and involves twice as many animals--than you may  remember.) We then review some of the most notable lowlights of Noem's time as DHS Secretary, from completely failing to understand the ancient  legal concept which allowed federal judges to release so many of the people she was illegally detaining without bond to her disturbing enthusiasm for calling US citizens concerned about killer ICE agents “domestic terrorists.” Also: why exactly did Noem lose her job last week, and where did the $220 million of our money handed over to a shell company run by her former press secretary's husband go? Finally, we take a closer look at Trump's choice to replace Noem at DHS: an Oklahoma Senator with two first names and a temper even shorter than his MMA career.  Watch this episode on YouTube! “NO GOING BACK: The Truth On What's Wrong With Politics and How to Move America Forward,” Kristi Noem (2024) DHS ad filmed at Mount Rushmore featuring Kristi Noem on horseback “Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts,” Justin Elliott, Joshua Kaplan and Alex Mierjeski, ProPublica (Nov. 14, 2025) “Markwayne Mullin is for Trump--and Indian Country,” Graham Lee Brewer, High Country News (Dec. 9, 2019) “ICE Barbie Replacement Mark Mullin Makes a Killing From Trump's Wars,” Harry Thompson & Tom Latchem, March 9, 2026 “Mullin' It Over” column archives on Markwayne Mullin's Senate website Check out the OA Linktree for all the places to go and things to do!

Your Brain Is Programmed to Protect Your Misery  It's a biological fact that you will fight me to the death for your limitations. Not because you're weak… but because your brain is designed to defend what is familiar. Why do human beings defend the very patterns that keep them trapped? What if the biggest barrier in your life is not your circumstances, your talent, or even your past? What if the real barrier is your brain's obsession with predictability? In this episode of The Polymathic Perspective Podcast, we examine a disturbing psychological reality: Your nervous system may prefer a known hell over an unknown heaven. Not because you are weak. Because your brain evolved to minimize surprise, not maximize happiness. Using a polymathic lens, we examine how this pattern appears across: neuroscience trauma psychology evolutionary survival wiring philosophy of meaning cultural storytelling embodied physiology Together, these lenses reveal a powerful truth. The patterns you defend most fiercely may be the ones that once kept you alive. But the same survival logic that protected you in the past can quietly imprison your future. In this episode, we explore why the human mind often fights for its own limitations, and how those limitations become embedded in identity, belief systems, and even the way the body holds tension. If you have ever wondered why intelligent, capable people repeatedly recreate circumstances they consciously want to escape, this episode will give you a deeper diagnostis. Subscribe If you value conversations that explore psychology, culture, power, and identity through multiple intellectual lenses, follow The Polymathic Perspective Podcast with Dov Baron. Each episode examines the hidden emotional logic shaping individuals, organizations, and societies. In This Episode You'll discover: Your brain has no concept of good or bad. It only protects what it recognizes. Why the brain is fundamentally a prediction machine, not a happiness machine How childhood environments wire the nervous system to prefer familiar emotional climates, even unhealthy ones Why trauma survivors often recreate the very relationship dynamics they desperately want to escape How the meaning we assign to events becomes more powerful than the events themselves The neuroscience behind hypervigilance and why "emotional intelligence" can sometimes begin as a survival strategy Why mindset alone rarely changes deeply embedded behavioral patterns How posture, breathing, and physiology can interrupt survival loops in real time Why changing your state is often more powerful than changing your thoughts Most importantly, we examine how the stories you inherited about yourself can quietly become the architecture of your life. A Polymathic Perspective Human beings are not simply rational thinkers. We are meaning-making systems embedded in biology, culture, and emotional memory. The brain filters reality through predictions built from the past. And when those predictions become identity, the nervous system will defend them, even when they limit our lives. That is why people often repeat destructive patterns, relationships, and environments. Not because they want suffering. Because familiar suffering feels safer than unfamiliar freedom. About the Host: Dov Baron Dov Baron is a leadership strategist, speaker, and host of both The Dov Baron Show and The Polymathic Perspective Podcast. For more than three decades, Dov has worked with high-performing leaders, founders, and executive teams across multiple industries, helping them uncover the hidden emotional drivers that shape culture, decision-making, and performance. Dov is widely known for integrating insights from neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and systems thinking into a single framework that examines the deeper patterns behind human behavior. His work explores how identity, meaning-making, and emotional conditioning shape the decisions individuals, organizations, and societies make. At the center of his work is the concept that human beings are fundamentally meaning-making systems. The stories we construct about ourselves become the architecture of our identity, leadership, and culture. Through his podcasts, writing, and speaking, Dov challenges conventional leadership thinking by examining the emotional logic beneath power, belonging, identity, and collective behavior. More from Dov here: DovBaron.com A Question to Sit With The next time something in your life feels inevitable, pause. Ask yourself: Is this truly who I am? Or is this simply a meaning I created long ago to survive a different moment in my life? Because the difference between a known hell and an unknown heaven may not be your circumstances. It may be the story your nervous system has been trained to believe.

Today's Headlines: The Iran conflict is sending mixed signals from the top — Trump says it's ending soon, Hegseth says it's just beginning — but the consequences are already concrete: $5.6 billion spent in the first two days, gas prices spiking, and the Strait of Hormuz effectively paralyzed, choking off 20% of the world's oil supply. Israeli airstrikes left Tehran's air toxic and unbreathable, Iran shot a second missile into NATO airspace over Turkey in less than a week, and U.S. authorities intercepted encrypted communications believed to be an activation trigger for Iranian sleeper cells on American soil. Putin congratulated Iran's new supreme leader and promised unwavering support, then called Trump to offer his own proposals for ending the war — which is either diplomatic or suspicious, depending on your level of trust in Vladimir Putin. At home, AP News released damning investigative reporting on Camp East Montana, ICE's largest detention facility, where the agency's own data shows 80% of detainees have no criminal record. The facility is closed to visitors amid a measles outbreak, detainees report being denied medication and clean water, and staff were allegedly overheard making bets on suicide deaths. The DOJ reached a settlement with LiveNation and Ticketmaster — $200 million in damages plus forced platform access for rivals and a mandate to sell 10 amphitheaters — marking the most significant crack in the company's decade-long grip on live events. And California Rep. Kevin Kiley formally left the Republican Party to become an independent, effective immediately.

Why do some men become critical, miserable, and judgmental in their marriages and lives?In this episode of Man vs Marriage, Quincy Moran explains how settling for less than your potential leads to projection, resentment, and broken leadership.Many men become critical not because of others — but because they have quietly settled for less than they know they are capable of.There is a version of a man that begins to emerge when he settles for less than his potential.He becomes critical.Critical of other people. Critical of circumstances. Critical of the people who may actually be rooting for him the most.But criticism is rarely about other people.More often than not, it is projection.When a man becomes disappointed with himself — when his ambition softens, his consistency fades, and his health is no longer a priority — something begins to change internally.Instead of building the life he wants, he begins judging the people around him.And the tragedy is that those closest to him — his wife, his children, the people who want to see him succeed — often receive the frustration first.In this episode Quincy breaks down the uncomfortable truth behind the critical man and why personal responsibility is the only real path back to strength.Because settling never stays contained.It leaks into your marriage. It leaks into your family. It leaks into the man you see in the mirror.And eventually every man must face the moment of truth.Who you are right now isn't who you have to be.But change begins with a decision.And that decision begins with personal responsibility.In This Episode• Why miserable men criticize others • How projection damages the relationships closest to us • The danger of settling for less than your potential • Why responsibility is the turning point for a man's life • The cost of refusing to changeConnect With Quincy MoranWebsite https://quincymoran.comEmail quincy@mvsmpodcast.comAbout Man vs MarriageMan vs Marriage is a podcast designed to challenge and equip men to become stronger husbands, fathers, and leaders in their homes.If this episode helped you, share it with another man who might need to hear it.New episodes released weekly.

What drives someone to leave a successful 15-year law enforcement career to tackle one of the most challenging problems facing first responders? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Joe Smarro, a decorated Marine Corps combat veteran, former San Antonio Police officer, and founder of SolutionPoint+, who's on a mission to eradicate suicide among first responders."Misery was the catalyst," Joe explains candidly about his transition from police work to entrepreneurship. As one of the original members of the SAPD Mental Health Unit—featured in the Emmy award-winning documentary "Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops"—Joe shares powerful insights about trauma, PTSD, and the surprising overlap between the symptoms of post-traumatic stress and entrepreneurship.From discussing how "all behavior is communication" to revealing why he turned to business the way others turn to alcohol, this conversation explores the intersection of mental health, leadership, and purpose-driven work. Joe's approach to de-escalating mental health crises and his framework for understanding human behavior offer valuable lessons for anyone leading teams or navigating their own challenges.Whether you're a first responder, an entrepreneur dealing with the obsessive nature of building a business, or a leader seeking to better understand the people you serve, Joe's journey from battlefield to advocate provides a roadmap for turning trauma into meaningful impact.More About Joe:Joe is a decorated combat veteran from the United States Marine Corps. He honorably served in both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. After completing his enlistment, he moved to South Texas, where he joined the San Antonio Police Department (2005). Joe was one of the original members of the SAPD Mental Health Unit and helped grow that unit into a nationally recognized best-practices policing program. Joe served on the SAPD MHU for 11 years.In 2018, he gave a TEDx San Antonio talk titled: I See You. He has been highlighted in numerous media outlets and documentaries. Most notably, he is one of the main subjects in the Emmy award-winning documentary: Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops. Joe is an alum of the Entrepreneurial Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV) at Texas A&M (2016). Once he completed his certification, he founded SolutionPoint+ in 2017 & is the current CEO.Joe voluntarily left the San Antonio Police Department in 2020 to focus on making changes within the behavioral health and criminal justice systems around the country. His big, hairy, audacious goal is to eradicate suicide among all first responders, starting in law enforcement. When Joe is not speaking, training, consulting, or working on his next book, he will most likely be found on a golf course.Chapter Times and Titles:Introduction: The Hard Ground and Harder Problems [00:00 - 04:19]Welcome and the ranch soil sagaMeet Joe Smarro: Marine, cop, entrepreneurSetting the stage for a conversation about trauma and purpose"Misery Was the Catalyst" [04:19 - 12:30]Why Joe left law enforcement after 15 yearsThe transition from being part of a team to going soloFinding purpose beyond the uniformAll Behavior Is Communication [12:30 - 24:45]The foundational principle of Joe's workUnderstanding what people are really saying through their actionsDe-escalating mental health crises with empathyThe SAPD Mental Health Unit Story [24:45 - 32:17]Building a nationally recognized best-practices programLessons from "Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops"The TEDx talk: "I See You."PTSD and Entrepreneurship: The Unexpected Overlap [32:17 - 43:05]Symptoms of PTSD vs. symptoms of entrepreneurshipBob Parsons' story: turning to business instead of alcoholThe obsessive nature of building something meaningfulWhy avoidance and thrill-seeking show up in both

One of the biggest news stories of the year was the tragic passing of Rob Reiner. The man had an extremely prolific career in Hollywood, cranking out several films that today are considered modern classics. That includes arguably the greatest 6 film run to start a career in the history of film. One of the films in that run was 1990''s Misery. The film was Reiner's second adaptation of a Stephen King film and not only showed his talent for pulling great work out of actors, but also his versatility as a director.

Today on the show, we welcome Q, Miguel, and Raven of Renegade Theater speaking about their April production of Reefer Madness. Renegade Theater Co. is a community-based theater company in Santa Cruz, CA. Renegade is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit that creates theatrical productions meant to challenge the standard expectations of theater. The show benefactor for Reefer Madness is The Last Prisoner Project. Gennevie "Q" Herbranson has served as the board president of Renegade Theater since its inception three years ago. She has been involved in theater in Santa Cruz since the summer of 2019, originally supporting her two kids in the youth theater scene.Miguel Reyna is beside himself to be directing his first production for his friends at Renegade Theater. He has been acting in and directing theater for the past 40 years and will likely never stop. His past 20 years have happened here in Santa Cruz County. Most recently, he's directed Stephen King's Misery at Actors Theatre. He's also directed The Thin Place for Actors' Theatre and The Humans for Mountain Community Theater, and co-produced Evil Dead The Musical at MCT.Raven Voorhees is a barista in the heart of Santa Cruz (Abbott Square) and enjoys creating art both on and off stage. Raven has an extensive theatrical resume and has been in both of Renegade's previous adult musicals, Heather's and Cabaret. Raven is the lead role of Jimmy in Reefer Madness. In this conversation, we explore themes of propaganda, rebellion, and control over youth, using humor as political satire in a time when history is repeating itself in more ways than one.

The boys showed up with no plan… and somehow covered everything. On this episode of Team of Rivals, we ease into Spring Training with the appropriate level of skepticism (which is to say: none). We also explore a question Cubs fans may not be emotionally prepared for: Where could Ian Happ play next? Hypothetically. Probably. Jurickson Profar's PED suspension becomes a jumping-off point for a broader conversation about accountability, baseball history, and why this stuff still manages to surprise people. Then we take a hard left turn into Chicago football as Drew Dalman's sudden retirement leaves the Bears with an unexpected hole at center… because of course it does. We break down what it means and how concerned fans should be (answer: it's the Bears). We wrap with Ron's Soccer Minute, where he recounts a week so bad it crossed international borders. Across the pond. Here in the States. Misery without a passport. No rundown. No structure. Just Cubs, Cardinals, Bears, and a little global suffering. Leave a 5-star review. Tell a friend. Preferably one who overreacts to Spring Training.

Nick is joined by composer (and friend of the podcast) Andy Abrams and director Gary Lloyd to talk all things Shining in Misery, following its UK premiere at The Other Palace as part of MT Fest. They dive deep into the creation of the show — from its musical styles and theatrical influences to the challenges of adapting such a psychologically charged story for the stage. Andy and Gary unpack how the piece evolved, how tone and atmosphere were shaped through music and direction, and what it's like collaborating on a brand-new musical with such a dark, distinctive voice. And of course, there's the question everyone wants answered… does Stephen King himself know about the show?

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Audio Treasures is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: O spectacle of misery! Subtitle: Puritan Devotional Speaker: C. H. Spurgeon Broadcaster: Grace Audio Treasures Event: Devotional Date: 2/26/2026 Bible: Isaiah 50:6; Isaiah 53:3-5 Length: 4 min.

We highly suggest that you READ the TEXT at the link below, as you listen to the audio above. https://gracegems.org/2026/o_spectacle_of_misery.htm Feel free to FORWARD this gem to others!

If God's law reveals our sin and misery, why does Psalm 19 celebrate it as life-giving? The Heidelberg Catechism teaches that the law exposes how deeply we fall short, yet Scripture also describes God's instruction as perfect, joyful, and renewing to the soul. This study explores how God's law leads us not to despair, but to Christ—our Redeemer—who enables us to live in gratitude, reverence, and dependence upon Him.

Southeastern Conversation 2.25.26 "Misery in Missouri as Tennessee drops a critical road game" by Fanrun Radio

Welcome to the 113th Episode of the ABC Pod the Adult Book Club where we drink and we read things. This episode features The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang. Discussion of the book starts at the 9th minute. Spoilers are between the 48 and 1:18 minute marks. We discuss the difficulties we had trying to get into and understand the universe that Yang built. We had some confusion and learned some new pronouns in the middle of the discussion. In spoilers we talk about how the book continued downhill for us and the ending left us uncaring and unsatisfied with more questions than answers.We finish with our usual segments and a surprise book for next time. Enjoy!

Ok, I promise it's not miserable. As a matter of fact, Rob Riener's month has been quite a pleasant journey. But it's time for Isaac and Juzo to dig into one of Rienner's most thrilling pictures yet. Based on Steven King's Book, Misery stars Kathy Bates and James Caan in a shut-in thriller about a writer who is held captive by a fan. But how well does Riener take on a dark thriller? Can he really jump to something this serious after such feel-good films? Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle. The show is executive-produced by Darrin O'Neill and recorded and produced in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. You can support the show at patreon.com/ecfsproductions.

What starts as a conversation about sobriety quickly turns into something deeper: the fear that happiness isn't real, the belief that love must be earned, and the quiet ways self-worth gets shaped by childhood experiences. We talk about feeling stuck in survival mode, struggling to accept love without performing for it, and why misery can feel safer than healing. From identity confusion to self-neglect, people-pleasing, and the anxiety of being perceived, this episode explores the internal battles that don't always look dramatic from the outside — but feel overwhelming on the inside. If you've ever felt like you're self-aware but still trapped in the same patterns… this conversation will hit close to home.

Misery has a way of forcing honest questions.In this episode, Brandon sits down with Jennifer Johnson who has spent decades helping people move beyond information about God and into real, embodied transformation. This conversation explores heart physics, biblical meditation, imagination, and why so many believers know Scripture—but can't seem to live free.What happens when the Word moves from the mind into the heart?  What if healing isn't about trying harder, fixing yourself, or perfect behavior—but learning to trust again?  This episode unpacks why religious systems often fear inner freedom, how imagination was designed to work, and why your response to pain determines the outcome of your story.The conversation culminates in a live guided biblical meditation that invites listeners into direct awareness of Christ within. This is not self-help. This is not technique-driven spirituality. This is an invitation to closeness.https://paperbell.me/jenniferjohnson-coachhttps://joinapp.unrefinedpodcast.com

Send Help, Housemaid, and Why Rachel McAdams Should Always Be This Unhinged Bob is joined by fan-favorite guest Brittany Brown—fresh off dominating the Analysis Awards submissions—to break down one of the year's most anticipated releases: Send Help, the latest genre-bending horror-comedy from Sam Raimi. From the electric energy of AMC pre-screenings to Raimi's signature “Three Stooges but make it blood” filmmaking style, the duo dives deep into why Send Help absolutely rips in a theater. Brittany makes the case that no one balances horror and absurdist comedy quite like Raimi, and both hosts rave about the two-hander performances from Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. They unpack: * The joy of watching rich bros get their comeuppance
 * Why Linda might be one of McAdams' funniest roles ever
 * The fine line between survival, manipulation, and straight-up madness
 * And whether anyone in this movie actually deserves saving
 Plus: comparisons to Castaway, Triangle of Sadness, and a little Misery energy for good measure. In the back half of the episode, Bob and Brittany pivot to the twisty domestic thriller The Housemaid, starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. They debate: * Does the big reveal actually land?
 * Is the twist stronger on the page than on screen?
 * And is Amanda Seyfried having way more fun than everyone else?
 It's a lively conversation about performance range, horror-comedy rhythm, thriller pacing, and the very specific pleasure of watching morally questionable women take control of the narrative. Two movies. One that rocks. One that… exists.
Press play and decide which island you'd rather be stranded on.

Este fue un podcast doloroso pero feliz. Doloroso porque es una despedida al gran narrador que fue Rob Reiner, que nos dejó de manera trágica y repentina. Y feliz porque hablamos de una de las rachas más impresionantes de la historia de Hollywood: This is Spinal Tap (1984), Stand by Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally (1989), Misery (1990) y A Few Good Men (1992). Para ello Hermes initó a la antropóloga y académica María Paz Peirano (tal vez la recuerde de podcasts como el KruegerCast de Wes Craven's New Nightmare) y nos dedicamos a celebrar todas estas películas que tienen al menos dos cosas en común. Uno, son todas de Rob Reiner y dos, son todas más buenas que el pan. Y recuerde que en www.patreon.com/hermeselsabio puede escuchar podcasts exclusivos, pre-estrenos, taller de cine y más.

In this episode of Zen Pop Parenting, Cathy and Todd dive into the psychological thriller Misery and explore what makes it so deeply unsettling decades later. Through the intense dynamic between Paul Sheldon and Annie Wilkes, they unpack themes of control, obsession, entitlement, and the dangerous illusion of “love” without boundaries. Using the film as a lens, they examine how fear, power, and identity shape relationships—and what this story reveals about emotional captivity in both subtle and extreme forms.
