Dan Kobayashi spent 16 years working as a U.S. diplomat focused on African issues, both at posts in Lesotho, Zambia, and Malawi, among others, and at the State Department's intelligence bureau in Washington, D.C. He had a close-up view of how U.S.-Africa policy has evolved over the years, particularly as it relates to China's expanding presence on the continent. Today, Dan is out of government and works as a geopolitical risk consultant in Geneva, where he also writes for his new Expatriach Substack. He joins Eric, Cobus, and Géraud to share an insider's perspective on the current state of U.S. policy towards Africa and why the notion that Washington is competing with Beijing for influence in the region is outdated.

In this episode we answer question from Rob, Matthew, and Luke.  We discuss the pitfalls of trying to rely on an all-bond portfolio in retirement and better options, the problems with over-valuing financial simplicity over good living, the benefits of the Choose FI podcast, muddled thinking about the concepts of “self-cleansing” and the momentum factor, why reassessing a retirement plan beats obsessing over a perfect forecast, and why that's not likely to be necessary with a risk parity style portfolio due to its lower risk profile.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterFairfax CASA Donation Page:  Donate - Fairfax CASAOptimus Bill's Risk Parity Radio Zoom Party (May 31 @ 4 pm EDT):  https://us06web.zoom.us/j/3125439422?pwd=dHh6aFlYRk9TWFZ4c29POTA4OThKUT09&omn=85117353750Portfolio Charts Bond Portfolio SWR:  Withdrawal Rates – Portfolio ChartsChooseFI Episode 570:  State of the Stock Market 2025 Q&A | Brian Feroldi | Ep 570ChooseFI Episode 574 (with Yours Truly):  Top Five Regrets of the Dying | Book Club | Ep 574Comparison of Large Cap Momentum with Other Common Factor Combinations:  Portfolio Backtester for ETFs and Asset Allocation | testfolioBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:A 5% Treasury yield can make a bond-only retirement plan sound like the cleanest solution on earth: buy long-term government bonds, take the interest, stop watching markets, and never rebalance again. We slow that idea down and stress-test it the way a DIY investor should, starting with the basics people love to skip: inflation-adjusted returns, real purchasing power over decades, and the ugly surprise of turning your whole portfolio into federally taxable ordinary income. “Simple” can get expensive fast when taxes and inflation show up every single year.From there we zoom out to the part that rarely makes it into retirement math. We talk about why chasing simplicity for its own sake is a false goal, how fear-based planning can push you toward over-saving and underliving, and what it looks like to use money to actually improve your life. If what you really want is hands-off income, we also explain why annuities are purpose-built for that job and can be cleaner than fiddling with a bond ladder.Then we tackle an investing debate sparked by another show: are small caps “bad,” and what does “self-cleansing” even mean in index funds? We break down why all index funds are rules-based, how cap-weighted funds quietly embed a momentum tilt, and why small cap value still earns a role for diversification even when it lags for long stretches. We finish with a practical retirement planning mindset: instead of worshiping a perfect forecast, rerun the plan as life changes and make decisions based on today's reality.Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves “simple” investing rules, and leave a review with the one portfolio myth you want us to unpack next.Support the show

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. US President Donald Trump unexpectedly announces an extension of the truce with Iran hours before the April 22 deadline, reports Magid, adding that the president's recent spate of muddled messaging hasn't helped matters. Magid notes that a divide within the Iranian leadership is slowing decision-making, as it continues to play hardball. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee heads to the US for a second round of Israel-Lebanon talks that appear to have some momentum, says Magid, but will require the ability of the Lebanese government to crack down on Hezbollah if any real progress is to be made. Magid notes that the April 11 deadline set by the Board of Peace for Hamas to respond to the disarmament deal has passed. Hamas doesn't want to be blamed for the collapse of talks, says Magid, but the Board of Peace is still aiming for a phased disarmament. Finally, Magid reports on another deadly incident in the central West Bank village in which two Palestinians were killed, allegedly shot by an IDF reservist from the Hagmar regional defense unit. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

PREVIEW FOR LATER: Jonathan Schanzer outlines historic negotiations between Lebanon and Israel over the "blue line" border. While President Joseph Aoun seeks engagement, the talks are muddled by the continued presence of Hezbollah. Lasting peace requires the full dismantlement of Hezbollah's military presence, which currently maintains a stranglehold over the country.1900 HOTEL BEIRUT

In this Daily Editorial, we are joined by Joel Elconin, co-host of the Pre-Market Prep show and founder of the Stock Trader Network. Joel provides a candid assessment of the current "muddled" market environment, characterized by excessive volatility and a lack of clear direction. The discussion dives deep into the macroeconomic headwinds currently facing investors, including the inflationary impact of rising crude prices and the potential shift in Federal Reserve policy toward rate hikes rather than cuts. Joel also explores the internal fragility of the financial system, specifically the pressures mounting in the banking sector and the burgeoning risks within private credit.   Click here to visit Joel's PreMarket Prep website - https://www.premarketprep.com/ Click here to visit the Stock Trader Network - https://www.stocktradernetwork.com/   Stocks Mentioned: Microsoft (MSFT), Meta (META), Amazon (AMZN), NVIDIA (NVDA), Micron (MU), Oracle (ORCL), Lennar (LEN), ConocoPhillips (COP), Nike (NKE).   ---------------------------- For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:  The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/  Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/ Investment Disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security or investment product.

Last week on Fox overpaid television personalities tried to fake their way through a war they didn't understand. As the president changed the reasons he started the military conflict with Iran the folks at Fox struggled to forge a coherent message about it.The propaganda machine sputtered and stumbled. The network kept repeating Trump's mixed messages:* The war was already over/The war will be over soon/This isn't a war* High gas prices are a small price to pay for freedom/Gas prices will drop immediately/Americans don't care about high gas prices* There will be no ground invasion of U.S. troops/There might be a short ground invasion of U.S. troops* We've killed their leadership/The new leadership is worse than the old leadership* Trump is the peace president/Trump has started military conflicts with seven different countries* This war will bring long-term peace/Every problem in the world is caused by Iran* Russia is helping Iran/Russia is not a concern/This war is about China* The U.S. is NOT fighting Iran for Israel/Sean Hannity featured a 21 minute interview with Israeli Prime Minister Bibi NetanyahuWhen Fox News hosts weren't talking out of both sides of their mouths, they were promoting Trump's lies.* Americans overwhelmingly approve of Trump's decision to attack Iran - several polls say otherwise* Iran was capable of a nuclear attack on the U.S. or Israel - despite no evidence supporting this* The people of Iran will rise up and take over their government - so far no such movement has formed. It could be because people don't want to stage a revolution while being attacked by the U.S. and Israel* Trump's promises of ‘no new wars' did not mean he's an isolationistIn the four years I've covered Fox News the past week is the weakest I've ever seen the network. Instead of a streamlined well thought out strategy to promote the war the network's messaging is a sloppy mess full of contradictions. This is a public episode.

Why do so many Christians start strong—only to slowly settle into comfort, distraction, and spiritual compromise? In today's MY Devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that believers are citizens of the City of God, living temporarily in the City of Man with a mission: to urge the lost to turn from sin and receive eternal life in Jesus Christ. Yet many who once lived with heaven in view end up falling in love with the very world they were sent to reach. Dr. Youssef unpacks five reasons this spiritual drift happens—and how to guard your heart: A false view of heaven that makes eternity seem dull instead of glorious, Worldly pressures (pain, loss, responsibilities) that steal your focus, Living by sight, where the visible crowds out what's eternal, Muddled teaching that confuses self-sacrifice with self-satisfaction, False doctrine that blurs the Truth about salvation, heaven, and hell—draining urgency from the Christian race. This episode will help you regain eternal perspective, recognize subtle distractions, and live with a clear-eyed passion for Christ—serving faithfully now while remembering the better City that is to come. Scripture Focus: Hebrews 13:14 Go deeper: Dr. Youssef's sermon series Unholy Alliance of the Antichrist (Watch Now | Listen Now) The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission.

Snag is a nasty wee story that includes violence and discussion of sexual assault. It's flippant, provocative, and probably downright brutal. But that's up to each individual to decide. So if you think you're better off skipping this story — then you should. I've supplied a text for it below, and the audio recording is up above. You can read it, or read along with the the recording, or just listen. You can, as I said above, just skip it all entirely. Your choice. Despite the fact that the Best Man said one word far too many times in his speech, it had been a good wedding. ‘Notwithstanding.' You were glad to have been there. However, it really did bug you all the same. This word. It wasn't even quite being used correctly. And Christine in her black dress staring a dagger right at you while you winced through that speech was an obvious sign there was more to come. At the end of the night, drunk, she would not be standing. That was partly her own fault, and maybe you had something to do with it too. She tried some sort of ornery lap dance, some sort of ‘getting even' shtick for some imagined slight. She slid across your knee, the dress like wetted wax paper, and then this grotesque lick of your face, from the bottom of your chin up to the corner of your left eye in a cartoon exaggeration of slow crawl. Well, you just took the two hands you had and pushed her onto the floor where she sat like a bag of spuds. And your wife Olivia, appalled, would later describe the situation as barbaric for all — those watching, those in it, and even those that would go on to hear about it. But your wife also thought Black Dress was almost asking for it, said the whole look of her was like a sausage trying to slip its casing, or was it a sausage unaware it was slipping its casing? At any rate, you said “snarler” and laughed your way into a snort. “You probably didn't need to push her quite so hard, Jimmy,” your wife said, in the taxi, heading home to your rented accommodation. “I mean, it was quite a thud. Did you really have to use both hands?”“Olivia, I'd have used more hands if I could,” you said. Another snort. And with that, as if suddenly triggered, the realisation that Archie would be up in three or four hours, and will want the full degustation: Bluey, PAW Patrol, and Peppa Fucking Pig.Olivia was a saint, they all said it. Behind your back. As well as right to your face. How on earth did she put up with you and all your antics? But you knew that Olivia knew that the real Jimmy wasn't for anyone else. The real Jimmy was just for her. And for Archie now of course too. This other Jimmy smeared peanut butter all down the cupboards while making two thick sandwiches before bed, kicked one shoe out the window of the Airbnb. Woops! And ripped his tie off so quickly that the top button went with it. Also, only one cufflink on final count. You would sway through the new day, wasps in your throat, and a need to constantly scratch at your head. You would watch the cartoons with Archie, and then when he went back down, if he went back down, you would get a second wave of sleep too. You weren't a bad guy. You just could not say no to the open bar. How, you wondered, could anyone say no to the open bar?“Who was that woman in the black dress?” Olivia stood at the top of the stairs. “I mean, she was awful, but she really set you off?”“Just someone from uni.”“Just someone?” “No. Not like that. Literally just someone. Part of the wider gang, obviously, I mean she was there at the wedding. But that's the first time I'd seen her in 20 years I'd guess.” “Well, she had her eye on you all night, and most of the afternoon. Was she there alone? It seemed like it at least. She acted like it at least.” “What does that mean?”“I think you know what it means. Know many other married women that just go and lick the face of a married man in front of his wife?” “Beside you honey, no I don't.”“You're fucking funny Jimmy. And you're fucking lucky, you know that? You're fucking lucky that you're fucking funny, but seriously, I am not sure how we face up later today at the Aftermatch.”“Aftermatch?”“You know, the next day BBQ. The thing. The wedding gloat.”“Ah, the post-mortem?”“Don't call it that! But yes…”“Well, we just won't go. Text and say Archie's sick if you have to, I'll do it. But also what's the problem? Hair of the dog. Might be good…”“The problem, Jimmy, is a bunch of people saw you shove a drunk single woman to the ground, rather violently. The problem, Jimmy, is neither of us checked to see if she was okay, and no one has been in touch with us since, and it is going to be incredibly awkward turning up there as if nothing happened. When, Jimmy, something clearly happened.”You knew what happened. You could never say. There was an electrical current between you and Christine. You had this weird history, admittedly 20 years of radio silence, complete inactivity, seemingly the whole thing had shut itself down, gone away. But you had a history of both getting drunk and ending up in combative, hostile situations. You were dragons for the piss, both of you. And though you never exactly hooked up, there was baggage. You were in each other's lives, at some point, and in the weirdest way. You went to her house one night and watched her sleep, used the spare key because all student flats had one and everyone knew where they were, and you had stumbled home from the pub and sat in a chair in her room while she snored and you watched. Just watched. She would do the same to you, a couple of weeks later, except you woke up with her on top of you. Straddling you, she had grabbed your hands and put them on her boobs, her hands behind your hands prompting you to squeeze. You'd pushed her to the side of the bed, gone straight to the fridge and necked a beer. “Jimmy, you've gone somewhere,” Olivia said. “Where are you? What are you thinking about?” “Nah. Nothing. Just hungover, zoning out love,” you said. “Well, I'm not lying about today. We are showering. We are going. Archie is not sick. And I do want Liz and Graham to meet him. And I do want you on best behaviour.”“When am I not though?” you said. Hoping for a laugh, and in the end supplying it yourself.At the vineyard they were all sitting on long wooden benches, a lot of chambray shirts. Too many cricket hats, bunch of unlikely outfielders you thought. And one or two dads throwing one or two Pétanque balls gently for their kids to marvel over, the clack-clattering of the children collecting these round trophies, disrupting games, burrowing them like a reverse Easter Egg hunt. You breezed past a few of last night's dead soldiers with a dismissive wave, safe under sunglasses, you took a mimosa and asked if there was anything harder on offer. “Not for you,” came the curt reply from the matron of honour. “Ah well,” you said, “best make the ma-most of this one then, eh!” She probably groaned. But fuck it all. Olivia a vision, parading around wee Arch, the star of the day as far as you were concerned. I mean, Graham, Liz, sure. Their day obviously, but also, how long does this shit go on, right? It was their day yesterday. Liz instructed Graham where to sit, and they unwrapped a bunch of junk from the guests, and you flopped about in a beanbag talking to a kid about why Monsieur Donkey was the best character in Peppa Pig, especially when he just hammers Daddy Pig with how shit English food is, saying he brought all of this stuff over from France with him, because he knows the Poms need it, he lists bread and cheese, and even water. The kid looked at you, and shouted “Mummy!” A woman appeared behind bangs and whisked her child away. You slumped further. You must have nodded off for a bit, but talk about rude awakenings, no one around you at all, just a shadow of some legs and sticky wine all on you, Christine standing over, her legs spread widely, her skirt hitched right up. A close talker, lost for words. Just staring. You writhe about and wriggle free of the beanbag's clutches, stand as if at attention. Christine pokes you hard in the chest. “We are going over there,” she says, and points to the tractor shed on the corner of the plot, just behind a couple of huge oak trees. Of course you worry Olivia will see this, of course you realise you haven't talked to anyone else, apart from the Peppa Pig bit with the kid, which was rudely cut short by an uptight mum. In the tractor shed, Christine asks you how you've been. You say, “better.” She says, “I don't doubt that.” You say, “Look, fuck, what even is all this anyway? We were fucking stupid drunk kids. Now we've grown up, let's just…”“You still look like you're stupid and drunk, just not a kid,” she cuts you off. “Jimmy, you look bad mate.”“Don't call me mate.”“Alright then, non-fuck buddy. I mean, what even are we?”“We are two people who used to get messed up and didn't know how to talk to one another sober and then got so drunk we couldn't speak at all. We are two people from another lifetime.”“And yet, here we are.”“Yeah, but I didn't even want to come today.”“I seem to recall that's always been your problem, Jim. That time you basically lured me to your place, and I was there on top of you, and you push me aside for a fucking drink?!”“Look, just leave me alone, I didn't think you had kept up with Liz, I didn't expect to see you, I don't know what to say to you, but um, look, we don't need closure, we don't need anything.”“Oh but the thing is, Jimmy, I saw the way you were looking at me. All fucking night. I know what you were thinking.”“Look Christine, you stupid fucking bitch, you are nothing. You're just this fucking idea of a woman squeezed tight into a dress. You're not what you think you are. I'm not what you think I am. I drink because I like it. You drink because you need to. I have a thirst. You think everyone's thirsty for you. We are two different people. We're not the same. We aren't even the same as we used to be, well, I'm not. You might think I am, but you have no fucking idea. I'm a good guy, I just get, um, a bit muddled.”“Muddled? Muddled! See this fucking bruise right here?” She hitches the skirt once again. “That's your fucking muddling.” “I mean, shit, fuck, I am really sorry about last night actually, but also what the fuck — you licked the side of my face like you owned me. We didn't even speak a word to each other last night. In that sense, it was weirdly like the old days. But fuck you. In front of my wife…”“I want you to fuck me, Jimmy. Right now. Not in front of your wife, but right now, here, in this shed.”“Oh fuck off.” “And if you don't, Jimmy, I will tell everyone here that you forced yourself on me. I'll run from this shed fucking screaming, and crying. In front of the children, in front of your child. In front of your fucking wife.”“Christine. Fuck. You're a psycho.”“Fuck me Jimmy!” And that's when she reached for your belt. And what happened next is of course a blur. But it started with you holding your hands over her mouth, and it ended with her not being able to breathe for a bit. In the middle, she had her teeth on your fingers, and you pushed her hard. Or was it a punch? She was certainly doubled over. So you pushed her into the corner of the shed. Where she flopped down into the loose hay. It was soft there, so you put one of the big tarpaulins over her.Archie was much better at making friends than you were. You sat thinking about that as he played with the other kids, and you heard echoes of questions that eventually felt like you were meant to be answering them. You looked over and saw Olivia talking with Janey, one of the bridesmaids. You stood, waved. Olivia smiled, and you're pretty sure Janey turned the other way. After a while, you decided it was time to go, and not just because you saw Christine tumbling along across the grass on one of her missions. “Well that was a nice day all up,” Olivia said in the car, heading home.“Yeah”, you replied. “It was okay.”“I didn't see much of you though, those mimosas obviously went down better than should legally be the case after your efforts last night.”“What can I say darling, I've got a thirst. You know that.”“I do.”“They were an okay crowd, but fuck, I can't do this sort of shit for too long, eh. I'm looking forward to being back at my desk. Back at work. Maybe a couple of days off the booze even.”“Well that would be something. I mean it would almost be a miracle, Jimmy. But I think you should try.”“I love you and Archie, you know that, eh?”“Of course darling, and we love you. And I think today is proof that you can do it. You can actually not have too much, not be too much. Not offend, or provoke, or get lost in the wrong version of yourself. I'm proud of you honey.”“You are the best thing that ever happened to me.”“But hey, I do have one question.”“Shoot.”“Black Dress?”“Um…”“What's her name, Christine, is that it?”“Yeah, why?”“Oh, Liz said she saw you and, ah, Christine, heading off for a talk, so what was that about?”“Um, nothing. I mean, I knew, ah, we knew each other at university. I told you that. We always had this stupid kinda set of arguments or kinda dares or, I don't know, just stupid stuff, eh.”“Okay?”“Olivia, it's sorted. Okay. I didn't really expect to see Christine. I didn't want to. But she wanted to ask me why I pushed her off my lap. I told her she was drunk and stupid but I also apologised. And look, I think it's sorted completely now.”“Well that is good to hear my love.”“Yeah, I mean I just know it's not going to happen again.”“I'm proud of you Jimmy.”“I'm always proud of you.” “When you pushed her last night Jimmy…”“Yeah…”“Did she fall on anything? My memory is a bit hazy now too, but did she fall on anything?”“Um, the floor?”“Well, that's what I thought, but Janey told me Christine was really limping. She wandered across the field at the end of the afternoon, visibly shaken, crying, holding her head in her hand. You reckon she's a mess, so I am just going to assume that she's upset and still dealing with stuff and we are heading in the right direction. Out of there…”“Ah, yeah, look I don't remember if she hit anything.”“Well, did she have any bruises, or was she limping when you were talking to her Jimmy? I feel like that's a pretty simple question.”“It is. And yeah, I mean she's a fucking fall-down drunk to be honest, so it's likely isn't it. But I can't give you specifics, you see I really don't like looking at her face ever. I mean, that's what got us into this mess to begin with, right?”“Us?”“Me.”“You! Yeah. But you've sorted it now right?”“I have.”“And you apologised.”“I did. I'm certainly very sorry.”Back at the Airbnb, you put the sausages on the BBQ. You always liked to do simple things like a quick dinner. Your way of helping. You wanted to help when able. You'd miss this. All of this. Olivia started packing for the trip home the next day. Archie was still asleep in his car seat, in the rental. They both looked so beautiful. Olivia, always, but especially when in motion. Archie forever, but maybe especially when not in motion. You had the car door open, you had the Bluetooth speaker on the tabletop of the outdoor furniture, playing Yanni's Live At The Acropolis full bore. “What is it with you and Yanni?”“It's my perfect soundtrack! I mean he's new age, right? I'm just a new age guy basically.”“Oh right. And sensitive too I guess?”“I mean, there are certain sensitivities I have. I definitely get close to tears when the liquor cabinet is looking grim.”“Oh god Jimmy, come on…”“Nah, I genuinely do love Yanni though. It's the music. The emotion. The stirring. But also, he's a short Latino guy dressed all in white. You just know that dude is down to fuck.”“Um… I don't know much about Yanni, but I know he's not a Latino. He's from Greece.”“Hey, Latin/Greece, they both invented drama! Anyway, it's all Greek to me!”You take the plate of sausages over to the table, and the one on top has split slightly, it looks like it's about to wriggle from its casing. You and her both have a chuckle. No words. None needed. She smiles at you, so you know what you have to do. You take the sausage, and peel it slowly from itself, as if a banana. You then squeeze as hard as you can, a tight fist around the base of this snarler. Its flesh bursting in a mash all over the plate. You both laugh, despite the visible bite marks on your hand. You both laugh. Just enjoying this last meal together.Sounds Good! is a reader-supported publication.

Cindy Esliger puts the spotlight on people-pleasing and conflict avoidance in the workplace, exploring how to stop playing small to please others. If we don't define what we want from our careers, others decide what we deserve, and we end up settling for that. We deserve better, though, and Cindy explains the cost of staying silent about our needs. She offers ways to shift from reacting to responding, how to set boundaries without guilt, and how to communicate assertively.There is a cost to simply going with the flow and refusing to make waves. Being easygoing isn't a strength in every situation. We need to set our own boundaries and make our needs heard. Cindy outlines five of the most common consequences of not doing this: 1. Chronic resentment, 2. Identity stagnation, 3. Invisible contributions, 4. Doing great work just earns more work, and 5. Muddled communication. We're conditioned to think that accommodating others makes us better colleagues, but what it actually does is teach others that our time and energy are up for negotiation.If we're feeling obliged to say yes, saying sure and rearranging our schedules, waiting to be recognized without advocating for ourselves, thinking our needs and wants are too much, or thinking people should just know what we need, then we're already in the trap of people-pleasing and letting others decide our path. Cindy shares five strategies on how to ask for more without burning bridges in the process: 1. Shift from reacting to responding, 2. Name what we actually want, 3. Communicate clearly, 4. Set boundaries and stick to them, and 5. Repair, don't resent. The key to change isn't becoming louder or more aggressive; it's in becoming more intentional.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Laying Claim to What You WantAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Marketing agencies are begging you to run LinkedIn ads. Here's why that might be the worst $5,000 you'll ever spend. April breaks down the exact conversation where she stopped a client from blowing his ad budget—and the 3 foundational fixes he needed first. Key Takeaways:

This week on Movies You Forgot You Forgot, Adam and Joe take a reluctant trip back to 2016's Captain Fantastic. What was once a quirky indie now feels like a confusing manifesto on bad parenting and questionable life choices.  They break down the film's muddled philosophy on death, its oddball charm (or lack thereof), and why it brings the far superior Little Miss Sunshine to mind. Spoiler: some films are best left in the past. Got a film you forgot you forgot? Hit us up at moviesyouforgotyouforgot@gmail.com with your thoughts, episode suggestions, or just some light praise.  You can also follow Adam @errorofways on Letterboxd; he rates and reviews the films he watches. The comments section is a very cool place to be. Also, be a pal: tell your chums, rate us, review us, shout our name into the void - whatever helps spread the word.

Look, no one missed the photos of Robert Irwin posing in his undies over the weekend., The ad campaign included a giant snake, a spider, a lizard and young Bob looking very handsome – did you have complicated feelings? We did and most of them involved... bread. And, bamboozled by the tariff talk? Muddled about the stock market mayhem? Fortunately for all of us, Amelia Lester is across it and happy to explain it in a way that makes sense.

What exactly is Man Utd's strategy for getting back to the top? Which are the European nights that live long in the memory for our trio? After Gary turned down the chance to go on Celebrity Big Brother, are there any reality shows the guys would do? Gary, Alan and Micah also debate whether we'll ever see another player like Steve Bull, who played for England whilst not playing in the top flight of domestic football. Plus, did Micah wear short-sleeve shirts just to flex his biceps? The lads attempt to solve the dilemma of whether long-sleeve or short-sleeve shirts are better with the help of Gemini Live on Google Pixel 9. Are you team short-sleeve or long-sleeve when playing? #AD Sequences shortened. Results for illustrative purposes and may vary. Check responses for accuracy.

On deck: (6:38) December has arrived. Which means we're getting close to the homestretch of the NFL regular season. The NFC has become a barnburner due to the developments of yesterday. Not just at the top of the conference as the Lions, Eagles and Vikings are fighting for a #1 seed (who comes out on top?), but the Buccaneers have drawn even with the Falcons for first place in the South. What about the Seahawks? They currently own sole possession of first place in the West as they've put themselves in good position to win the division. How will this all play out? I can't forget the AFC as the Chiefs continue to squeak by winning these games like a Houdini act. Is this sustainable? The Bills aren't letting up anytime soon. Even the Steelers keep pace with a huge win in Cincinnati. I'll get into Matt Eberflus being shown the door in Chicago, as well as, all that's transpired throughout the Thanksgiving weekend in the league. (36:12) Just when you thought college football couldn't get more interesting, you had two major upsets and a comeback for the ages by Georgia to save themselves from postseason extinction. Ohio State loses an opportunity to play in the Big 10 Championship game after Michigan beats them for a fourth straight year. Then the Miami Hurricanes inexplicably blow a 21-0 lead at Syracuse to find themselves on the losing end, and in all likelihood, will be out of the college football playoff altogether. To top it off, Georgia was down 17-0 at the half and 14 points halfway through the fourth quarter before coming from behind and winning in eight overtimes vs. Georgia Tech. Is this the win that could propel them to a deep playoff run? (50:06) The Association had a couple of key players come back from injury. Mavericks Luka Doncic doesn't skip a beat with a 36 point/13 assist performance from a wrist injury. While Celtics Kristaps Porzingis makes a triumphant return last week against the Clippers. You've also had two situations regarding players calling out their teammates with pathetic efforts in recent games, such as Anthony Edwards and Dejounte Murray which I have to expound on. I'll look at the teams that have made some hay (ex. Rockets, Bucks) as of late and anything else that's going on in the NBA. I'll add on some college basketball as the two time champion UConn Huskies come off of losing three straight early this season. On a sad note, I'll discuss the passing of former legendary St. John's coach, Lou Carnesecca who died at the age of 99 on Saturday. (1:04:03) What has gotten into the Washington Capitals? They're missing their franchise player (Alexander Ovechkin) who's out for at least three weeks with a fractured leg, have risen to the top of the Eastern Conference (despite an embarrassing moment by their goalie last week). I'll take a look at what else is happening in the NHL, including the Winnipeg Jets who have cooled off considerably after a record breaking start to the season. (1:11:27) MLB's hot stove will heat up this coming Sunday as the Winter Meetings will begin. Some activity has taken place as the Dodgers have signed pitcher Blake Snell and re-signed Tommy Edman. Is Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki not too far behind? Is this good for baseball as the rich get richer? The Mets try to get into the action by signing Frankie Montas to a two year deal in their own right. Am I a fan of this deal? Plus, the Rays will play a ton of their home games (47 of them) during the first part of the year and have 69 of final 103 on the road. Why is this the case? And a farewell to former Giants SS Brandon Crawford who retires after 14 years in the big leagues.

Karen Brothers' book,  "Moxie Matters: True Tales of Rolling Through a Messy, Muddled and Magical Life" is an entertaining, enlightening and inspiring story of growing up in the 70s, with unstructured outdoor adventures and the simple rule of coming home when the streetlights flicker on. Karen is a professional writer and storyteller, and I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing her life lessons through the lens of her younger self, at each age. Karen  shares her motivations for writing her memoir from the perspective of her younger self, reflecting on how her childhood experiences and subtle family dynamics shaped her journey. It's fun to be reminded of memories from our youth including moon boots, Pop-Tarts,  Hi-C! At the same time, Karen walked through difficult and painful family circumstances that shaped her character. We talk about the therapeutic power of sharing personal stories and the raw honesty required to connect deeply with others. Her practical advice on overcoming the fear of writing, the benefits of consistent journaling, and even using voice memos is invaluable for anyone looking to document their own narrative. **excerpt from Karen's book, "Moxie Matters"Invite Karen to your book club!
