College Football has seen tampering go crazy with the recent shots Dabo Swinney and Clemson took at Pete Golding and Ole Miss. On Josh Pate’s College Football Show Ep 708 Josh Pate offers up his feelings about what can be done to curtail the issue. What do we think about surprise CFP contenders this season? Could Alex Golesh and Auburn or Matt Campbell and Penn State make a run? Does ESPN owning the entire College Football Playoff help or hurt the sport overall? Josh also takes a look at UGA under Kirby Smart and discusses whether the program is regressing. All that plus the mailbag is open and we take a look at a major winter storm taking aim at the eastern half of the United States.

We've got fresh meat sitting in with us today … Penske Racing's own Jeffrey Baker. I sat down a while back with Jeffrey for the podcast … we haven't run that interview yet … BUT … when we started talking about the third co-host, asking Jeffrey to be a part of all this was a no brainer. This week in the second and final installment of our interview, Bobby Hutchens remembers the Dale Earnhardt he knew and Kevin Harvick's emotional 2001 victory at Atlanta. He talks about leaving Richard Childress Racing, the loss of his wife to breast cancer and his son taking the family racing legacy … literally … around the world. We then dig into the July 3, 1997 issue of Winston Cup Scene. This issue includes a Photo Bio on the one and only Jeffrey Baker … The greatest public-relations jingle in NASCAR history … A treasure hunt at the shop that once housed Junior Johnson & Associates … Jimmy Spencer … master Monopoly player … And the greatest column in the history of motorsports journalism.

Oregon's Sailors' Boardinghouse Commission seemed completely uninterested in any enforcement activity other than ordering Larry Sullivan's competitors to leave the business. Naturally, those competitors fought back as best they could. (Portland, Multnomah County; 1900s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1906b.mysterious-billy-part2of2-551.html)

Life doesn't always roll in our favor. Some turns stretch us. Some seasons drain us. And some moments test whether we have the strength to keep going. In Monopoly and the Grace That Keeps You Playing, we reflect on the unexpected spiritual lessons found in the game of Monopoly - where setbacks, delays, and difficult decisions are part of staying in the game. From “jail” seasons that pause progress to moments where surrender looks like mortgaging what we hoped to keep, this episode explores how God's grace meets us in life's most humbling turns. This conversation is a reminder that grace doesn't always look like winning - it often looks like endurance, trust, and the mercy of another move. When quitting feels easier, God's grace is what keeps us playing.

Leerkündigungen, Ersatzneubauten und Verdrängung von Langzeitmietenden, die sich Marktpreise nicht leisten können: Alltag im Hotspot Zürich. Wohnen als Grundbedürfnis versus Betongold als rentable Anlage. Was tun? Julia Schramm hat die Kündigung bekommen – zusammen mit 316 anderen Mietparteien. Ihre Siedlung in Zürich-Altstetten wird abgerissen, um einem Neubau Platz zu machen. Die Marketingberaterin weiss: Statt wie bisher 1500 Franken wird sie vermutlich mehr als doppelt so viel Miete zahlen müssen, wenn sie im Quartier bleiben will. Nirgendwo in der Stadt Zürich wurden zwischen 2013 und 2022 mehr Mieterinnen und Mieter verdrängt als im Quartier Altstetten, laut einer Studie der ETH Zürich. Julia Schramms Vermieterin ist die Halter AG. Die Erben von Bauunternehmer Wilhelm Halter besitzen mehrere dutzend Liegenschaften in Altstetten. Sie profitieren von in den letzten Jahrzehnten stark gestiegenen Bodenpreisen. Im Stadtparlament wird über preiswerte Wohnungen gestritten, die Immobilienkonzerne als Gegenleistung schaffen sollen.

Bart wants a brother, so he (kinda) kidnaps an orphan for a day. Honestly, this was a fairly weak story that was filled with the usual unjustified rudeness and angst that tended to pop up in the "teen era" of the show.There's also a really odd South Park parody that doesn't seem to know why it's there.Despite all this, Dando was once again a big fan of the Homer/Marge story. Maybe this is confirmation that he is indeed getting old.We also discuss "grape snakes", the best Monopoly token, the stand-out performance from Jordan Nagai and more.If you enjoy this show, please consider supporting us on Patreon for as little as $1 per month at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify - spoti.fi/4fDcSY0Listen on Apple Podcasts - apple.co/4dgpW3ZCHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Goin' Down To South Park - spreaker.com/show/goin-down-to-south-parkThe Movie Guide with Maltin & Davis - themovieguidepodcast.comThe One About Friends - spreaker.com/show/the-one-about-friends-podcastTalking Seinfeld - spreaker.com/show/talking-seinfeldSpeaKing Of The Hill - spreaker.com/show/speaking-of-the-hill-a-king-of-the-hill-The Office Talk - spreaker.com/show/the-office-talk-podcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/four-finger-discount-simpsons-podcast--5828977/support.

Board games are supposed to bring people together—but some of them feel more like intellectual flexes than friendly competition. This week, JJ and Tucker dive deep into the board games that secretly say more about you than the game itself. From Scrabble's smug superiority complex, to Monopoly house rules that feel suspiciously like modern economics, to a surprisingly revealing game of Guess Who, the conversation spirals into stereotypes, pop culture, childhood nostalgia, and why modern board games are having a full-on renaissance. Along the way, they unpack: Why Scrabble feels like someone trying to prove they're smarter than you How Guess Who accidentally becomes a psychological profiling tool The evolution of Monopoly boards (and why Fargo might have messed one up) Carmen Sandiego, Anne Hathaway, and heist-movie logic Dead birds, Mr. McGregor, and childhood trauma The Olympics lottery, obscure events, and cheering for the flag   00:00 – Please put your clothes back on (intro) 01:08 – The board game that feels like an insult 01:49 – Monopoly trash talk and pandemic grudges 03:09 – Fargo Monopoly and questionable city design 04:33 – Monopoly house rules gone completely off the rails 05:15 – Scrabble: the "I'm better than you" game 06:14 – Scrabble boards, editions, and nostalgia 07:47 – Travel games and modern Guess Who 08:49 – Guess Who as personality profiling 10:20 – Bias, stereotypes, and reading strangers 11:25 – Why Guess Who should be a TV show 11:56 – Carmen Sandiego rights and reboots 13:20 – Anne Hathaway and heist movie logic 15:27 – The Princess Diaries (somehow gets darker) 18:50 – Board game collecting and Kickstarter culture 19:35 – Viticulture, birds, and pigeon slander 21:02 – Finding a dead turkey vulture 23:03 – Peter Rabbit and childhood fear 27:32 – Registering for the 2028 Olympics lottery 29:25 – Skateboarding, table tennis, and obscure events 32:27 – Eddie the Eagle and Olympic loopholes 34:09 – Closing and credits   Support the show: For more episodes of JJ Meets World, or to find out how you can support the podcast, visit http://www.jjmeetsworld.com/ Patreon:   / jjmeetsworld   Merch Shop: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/jj-meets...

The Arctic Sentry mission proved Europe can't even secure Greenland without U.S. backing. This isn't about “retaliation”; it's about accountability.

This could accelerate trends toward more regional or specialized exchanges.   Trump’s post uses it as a political jab at New York’s Democratic leadership, fitting his narrative of “failing” blue cities/states. As president in 2026, it amplifies debates on federal vs. state economic policies, regulations, and urban decline.    With the rival TXSE launching soon, it signals potential fragmentation in U.S. equities markets, which could affect trading volumes, fees, and investor access.  Does This Create Competition with Wall Street?Yes, but indirectly and in a limited way. Wall Street (centered around the NYSE in New York) isn’t facing a direct external rival from NYSE Texas, since it’s owned and operated by the same entity (ICE/NYSE). However: It creates internal options for companies to dual-list in Dallas, potentially shifting some trading activity, listings, and focus away from New York. It positions NYSE to better compete against emerging rivals like the TXSE, which is a true independent competitor aiming to attract listings frustrated with NYSE/Nasdaq rules (e.g., on diversity or fees). Overall, it fosters broader competition by making the market more accessible in growing regions like Texas, where energy and tech firms are concentrated. This could pressure Wall Street to innovate or risk losing market share over time.   By enabling dual listings and relocating operations (e.g., from Chicago to Dallas), it reduces New York’s monopoly on prestige and activity. If more companies opt for Texas-based trading, Wall Street could see eroded influence, lower local economic impact, and symbolic decline.    It allows Trump to attack Democratic leadership in New York (e.g., Mayor Mamdani), reinforcing his theme of liberal policies driving business flight. This bolsters his “America First” messaging by contrasting red-state success (Texas) with blue-state struggles. Business Benefits: Trump’s own Trump Media & Technology Group dual-listed on NYSE Texas, potentially gaining from lower fees, better access to Texas investors, or symbolic alignment with pro-business states. https://twitter.com/DOGEai_tx/status/2013040092101714295?s=20   ballooned 85.9% from 2019-2024, hitting $1.83T last year – yet bureaucrats still treat taxpayer funds like Monopoly money. This isn’t just bad math; it’s systemic rot. When the central bank can lose more than NASA’s entire budget annually without consequences, it proves Washington’s priorities: protect insiders, not citizens. The solution? Audit every dollar, claw back wasted funds, and restore transparency. Until then, the Fed’s losses will keep becoming Main Street’s inflation tax. Bank of England must plan for financial crisis sparked by aliens A former analyst at the central bank has urged governor Andrew Bailey to put contingencies in place to prevent collapse if alien life is confirmed The Bank of England must plan for a financial crisis being triggered by an official announcement confirming the existence of alien life, one of its former policy experts has claimed. Helen McCaw served as a senior analyst in financial security at the UK's central bank, preparing for events that could impact the economy. She has now written to Andrew Bailey, the Bank's governor, urging him to organise contingencies for the possibility that the White House may one day confirm we are not alone in the universe. McCaw, a Cambridge graduate, believes a declaration of that magnitude would send shockwaves through the markets and could trigger bank collapses and civil unrest.

Today on Second Request, Executive Editor Teddy Downey sits down with antitrust expert Hal Singer, who argues why AirBnb is violating antitrust laws, and how enforcement could address distortions in the housing and rental markets. The conversation centers on Singer's recent article, “The Antitrust Case Against Airbnb,” which analyzes how Airbnb's “Smart Pricing” algorithm may facilitate price coordination among short-term rental hosts, the broader effects of short-term rental platforms on housing supply and rents, and the challenges regulators face in applying antitrust law to platform-based and AI-driven pricing models.To learn more about The Capitol Forum click here.

Send us a textThe new year starts with smoke: one of us is riding a playoff high, the rest are nursing heartbreak, and the AKAs won't stop. We trade shots over the SEC, relive a chaotic fourth quarter, and admit how much a single loss can hijack your week. Then the conversation widens from wins and losses to who gets seen, as hockey's growing diversity becomes a mirror for how culture shifts—slowly, messily, and sometimes beautifully—when kids find new lanes on the ice.And just when you think we can't swerve harder, we go full brain-bender. Is black the absence of light or just a pigment trick? Can you tell the lights are on with your eyes closed? We run a live test and tumble into the Mandela Effect: Fruit of the Loom's missing cornucopia, the Monopoly man's non-existent monocle, Looney Tunes vs. Looney Toons, and Pikachu's forever-yellow tail. It's science meets nostalgia with a side of collective delusion—hilarious, humbling, and weirdly bonding.Movies take the wheel as we rank favorite characters, celebrate horror icons like Pinhead, Michael Myers, and Jason, and debate superhero double-dips from Ryan Reynolds to Michael B. Jordan. We mourn the Blade x Underworld crossover that almost happened and shout out fresh releases—Primate, We Bury the Dead, and more. One of us logged 40-plus theater trips last year, so you know the reel talk is deep. It all adds up to a fast, funny ride through sports pain, memory glitches, and the films that keep us talking long after the credits roll.If you had to pick one movie character to ride for, who are you choosing and why? Tap follow, share this with a friend who swears the Monopoly man had a monocle, and leave a review so we can keep the debates rolling.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

Mr. Monopoly picked the Val Kilmer film 2:22 from 2008. It was on the podcast calendar and episode spreadsheet as such. Old Tomato Face watched the first 2:22 film he came across, which was from 2017. The pantheon decided to cover both and asked McFly to keep tangents in, as they still couldn't fill an hour. These are their stories... dun dun. You might also like episode 205: You Only Live Twice (1967). Week 3's topic will be Three Amigos (1986).

After 35 years across flips, rentals, and market resets, Cheryl LaTray has built a career on one core skill: knowing when to buy, when to hold, and when to walk away. In this episode of the WNY Entrepreneur Podcast, Cheryl breaks down entrepreneurship as Monopoly in real life—cash, assets, positioning, and the nerve to make the next move when the board changes.From the mindset shifts that reduce fear to the frameworks she uses to evaluate opportunity, Cheryl shares a practical, no-fluff playbook for owners who want to grow with intention (not impulse).In this episode, you'll learn:✅ Why entrepreneurship mirrors the game—positioning, liquidity, and compounding small, smart moves✅ How calculated risk + flexibility become long-term advantage✅ The trap of protecting money instead of deploying it wisely✅ Planning for the game, not just the turn you're on✅ The mindset that lets owners shift quickly and keep momentum✅ Why “safe and familiar” can limit you more than failure✅ Cheryl's criteria for evaluating opportunities before committingMarkets shift. Demand shifts. Your capacity shifts. Cheryl's approach helps you see the board, protect downside, and act with conviction so you're not reacting to today's noise but building position for tomorrow's wins.

The hobby news cycle is moving fast. Just days after the Collectors/Beckett announcement, a U.S. Congressman has sent a letter to the FTC asking for an investigation into monopolistic practices in the trading card industry. Is this a legitimate legal threat, or just political grandstanding? Plus, the hobby hype for Cooper Flagg has officially reached dangerous levels. With his first licensed Topps Chrome cards hitting the market, collectors are already paying NBA superstar prices for an unproven rookie. Is the hobby losing its mind? In this episode, Mike and Jesse dive deep into the numbers surrounding the Cooper Flagg Topps Chrome release. Mike crushes the math, comparing Flagg's current pre-sale pricing, where base cards are hitting $250-$400, directly against established talent Victor Wembanyama. They discuss why the "new toy syndrome" combined with the return of licensed Topps Chrome basketball has created a market bubble that makes zero statistical sense. If you are thinking about investing in Cooper Flagg right now, you need to watch this market reality check first. Later, they discuss the polarizing tweets of Geoff Wilson (Sports Card Investor). Is he "out of touch," or is he actually the smartest marketer in the room playing the engagement algorithm perfectly? Finally, the guys open up the mailbag to discuss sunk cost fallacies in flipping, why retail pricing is never coming down, and who ranks as the most collectible "bust" in sports history.

A Note from James:One of my favorite conversations on this show was with Peter Thiel. Yes—PayPal, Facebook, Palantir, and a dozen other hits. I first ran this episode years ago, and the advice still holds up. The same stories, the same frameworks—and the same challenge to think from first principles. Here's Peter Thiel, one of the most influential entrepreneurs of our time. Episode Description:In this redux, James pressure-tests the core ideas from Peter Thiel's Zero to One—why competition is for losers, how real monopolies are built, and why starting “narrow” is often the only path to something huge. They cover Facebook's early moat (real identity), PayPal's network-effect wedge on eBay, and the “10x or nothing” bar for proprietary technology. Peter shares a contrarian read on bubbles, why biotech's slump may be opportunity, and how to hire, divide roles, and keep teams from fighting. The through-line: seek secrets, combine disciplines, and make something so different that it becomes its own category. What You'll Learn:How to pick markets the Zero to One way: start with a “small, winnable monopoly,” then expand in concentric circles. The four classic moats—and which to favor first: proprietary tech, network effects, economies of scale, and brand (with a bias toward real tech). A practical rule for virality vs. network effects: growth is a tactic; enduring value comes from the network that forms once users arrive. Team design that prevents internal warfare: make roles uniquely owned; if two people own the same thing, you're paying for a fight. How to hunt “secrets”: believe they exist, look where consensus is stale, and borrow from adjacent fields to see what specialists miss.

This week on Market Mondays, we kick things off with our Futures Trading Tip of the Week and a breakdown of the biggest investing mistake of the year. We dive into the shocking rebound of Carvana joining the S&P 500 after nearly going bankrupt — debating whether it's a true comeback story or a sign the market is getting reckless again. We also break down the massive bidding war for Warner Bros Discovery, who needs WBD the most to survive the next decade, and what this means for the future of media. Caleb Silver, Editor-in-Chief of Investopedia, joins us with expert data and insight throughout the discussion.We compare Paramount's heavy debt load to Netflix's growth and free cash flow dominance and question whether a Netflix–WBD deal would spark a new era of media consolidation or run into regulatory roadblocks. From there, we shift to AI and corporate strategy, analyzing IBM's $11B acquisition of Confluent and whether M&A is becoming the quiet force powering the next leg of the AI boom. We also cover holiday spending vs weak investor sentiment, whether investors should rotate into safer stocks, and what Wednesday's Fed decision could mean for markets heading into 2026.To wrap up, we go rapid-fire: the most attractive stocks currently dipping for LEAPs and swing trades, which companies are less likely to be corrupt or mismanaged, whether failed AI bets could force bailouts in tech, Bitcoin's next move toward $65K or $70K, Apple's potential talent crisis after losing multiple key executives, and if an oil collapse into the $30s could make the entire energy sector uninvestable. A packed episode with strategy, clarity, and expert perspective. #MarketMondays #EarnYourLeisure #CalebSilver #Investopedia #Investing #StockMarket #Bitcoin #OptionsTrading #AIStocks #MediaMergers #Carvana #Apple #OilPrices #WealthBuilding #FinancePodcast #EYLSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The show discusses the most important court case of Trump's second term. Then, Jack Posobiec dissects Netflix's bid to buy Warner Bros. and HBO, which could give woke gangsters (including Obama) a dominant position over America's most popular cultural products.
