Combo is joined by Cone of the ThreeCone YouTube channel for a fresh look at what's driving OKC's start. They get into the idea of a 73-win chase, how the team keeps rolling without Jalen Williams, and why the Thunder's defensive identity feels more sustainable than people realize. From there, Combo and Cone unpack AJ Mitchell's emergence, how Chet compares to Paolo right now, and what SGA's continued evolution looks like after an MVP and Finals MVP season. They take a step back and look at the bigger picture: how OKC matches up with contenders, what Denver looks like, and what actually translates come playoff time. The conversation also hits league-wide topics — the Cade vs. SGA debate, whether Haliburton's injury changed the entire outcome of Game 7. A breakdown of the NBA's best team so far! Topics Covered: • Can OKC chase 73 wins? • Jalen Williams' absence & impact • AJ Mitchell's Player Comp? • Chet vs. Paolo right now • SGA's evolution after MVP • OKC's defensive identity • Cade vs. SGA • Haliburton's injury in Game 7 Combo's Court — Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor for Week 12. Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera break down NFL Week 12 Survivor strategy, MVP odds, team power ratings, and future-week planning. Mack opens by noting major movement in MVP markets, especially Matthew Stafford rising against Drake May, and argues Stafford should be the favorite due to team strength, narrative, and veteran status. Dan emphasizes that betting awards requires thinking like the media, and the Patriots' soft schedule hurts May's candidacy. They discuss power-rating models showing the Rams as the top team, the Chiefs second, and surprisingly the Texans third due to strong underlying metrics despite a .500 record. Shifting to Survivor, they highlight Seattle as the top Week 12 option versus the Titans: Tennessee grades as bottom-tier across analytic systems, has one of the league's worst offenses, and relies on Cam Ward, whose turnover tendencies create multiple paths for a Seahawks win. They compare alternative Seattle usage weeks but conclude Week 12 is optimal even assigning pessimistic turnover scenarios. They cover other big favorites: the Lions (whose home splits and Jekyll-and-Hyde Jared Goff profile point to a strong bounce-back vs the Giants), the Ravens (concerns around Lamar's health, short-week turnaround, and potential Joe Burrow return in Week 13), the Packers (Jordan Love inconsistency, injuries to Josh Jacobs/Tucker Kraft, and JJ McCarthy volatility), the Rams vs Bucs (Rams may “screw around,” Bucs too injured and erratic), and the 49ers (better held for Week 15 vs Tennessee after a bye). They repeatedly stress that late-season future value is more important than raw win probability. They examine Week 13 Thanksgiving lines: Lions over Packers, Chiefs over Cowboys, Ravens over Bengals, and Eagles over Bengals (depending on Burrow's readiness). They warn that using the Ravens in Week 13 is riskier than the market implies, given divisional familiarity and Baltimore's offensive stagnation. They touch briefly on off-the-wall options like the Bears, Saints, Jaguars, and Patriots but generally dismiss them due to fluky profiles or better future deployment. Dan notes the Saints may become viable in Weeks 16–17 when they face the Jets or Titans. Ultimately both hosts circle back to Seattle as the cleanest Week 12 Survivor pick, citing matchup, quarterback disparity, and Tennessee's inability to generate offense without extreme turnover luck.

The Rams (8-2) are set to take on the Buccaneers (6-4) at SoFi Stadium on Sunday Night. Baker Mayfield officially returns to the field that essentially revived his career, while Matthew Stafford is set to continue his MVP campaign. Todd Bowles' defense is tough: they'll likely replicate a lot of the same pressure concepts that Seattle drew up. But, Tampa is banged up and hasn't played their best football over the last 5 weeks. Bucky Irving is back, so reinforcements are coming. Regardless, the Rams are 6.5pt favorites and should be able to handle business on Sunday night. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hour 2 - The crew takes a look at the Patriots success this season. Their second year quarterback is in MVP conversations and the team is winning. How much of this would happen without McDaniels returning to New England?

Drake Maye has justly been in the MVP conversation and has the stats to back it up, but the team's schedule might be one of many tiebreakers that will put him behind Matthew Stafford among others.

There are a lot of factors going against Drake Maye for MVP if he doesn't have a huge breakout. Matthew Stafford's age, lack of winning, and team schedule all play into why voters would lean towards the Rams' QB over the Patriots'.

Patriots' writer for Sports Illustrated Mike D'Abate joins the show to discuss why his confidence in the Pats is about the locker room not caring at all about what others think of them, the run defense under the microscope against the Bengals, and the reasons Drake Maye should be the MVP.

Getting into the Patriots and Drake Maye's MVP chances seemingly growing by the week. However, if it came down to Maye someone like Matthew Stafford, would the Pats' schedule do more harm for Maye if it were close? Then, Mike D'Abate from Sports Illustrated joins the show and puts the focus on the run defense and if they'll start to fade in performance beginning in Cincinnati. And, fellow Colorado Buff Arcand defends his guy Sheduer Sanders and pushes back on the idea that Kevin Stefanski or anyone is sabotaging Sanders' career.

Looking into the eyes of NFL voters, the story of how Matthew Stafford wins MVP has more of an appeal than Drake Maye's side. Is there anything Maye could do to change those minds over these last games? Then, Steph Curry gives an awkward celebration while an NHL player suffered an injury in a very embarrassing way in Arcand Fire. And, don't buy these AI toys that researchers are warning against in Clickbait.

Ojai has always been a place where voices matter — artists, thinkers, seekers, misfits, and makers.But what happens when a public-speaking club sheds the corporate rules and reinvents itself in the spirit of this valley?In this week's episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, I sit down with Karen Banfield, founder and president of the new Ojai Valley Speech Club, and Severo Lara, its vice president, to explore how they transformed a fading Toastmasters chapter into a vibrant, heartfelt community.When Karen stepped in to rescue what remained of the old club— just six members and dwindling fast — she realized the structure itself was part of the barrier. So she did something bold: she let it go.What emerged is something distinctly Ojai: A relaxed gathering focused not on rigid rules or corporate polish, but on authenticity, intuition, creativity, and real human connection.Members now give talks on everything from personal vulnerability to quantum physics, from life lessons to the mysterious ways intuition shapes the choices we make. The club has nearly tripled in size, and the energy in the room is unmistakable — a sense of growth, bravery, and community.In our conversation, Karen and Severo discuss:How they redesigned public speaking for the Ojai spiritWhy ditching formality invites deeper honestyThe surprising subjects their members exploreHow a small group grew into an inspired communityAnd why learning to speak from the soul is more important than everWhether you've always wanted to improve your public speaking or simply love stories of grassroots community-building, this episode offers insight, inspiration, and a reminder that finding your voice is an act of courage — and connection.Tune in, get inspired, and maybe even consider stepping up to the mic yourself.

What is it about a particular cultural object — or trend, or perceived trend — that makes people FREAK THE F OUT? Anyone who's looked at historical freakouts knows: it's never really about the thing itself, but more about ideologies that are under threat and in flux. If you challenge the status quo, in other words, there's a high likelihood that you could get swept up in a panic about something that has nothing to do with the way in which you're actually challenging the status quo.The best person to talk about these sort of freak-outs is Sarah Marshall, beloved host of You're Wrong About and current host of a new CBC limited series on the satanic panic called The Devil You Know. In this episode, Sarah brings her trademark empathy to your smart questions about freak-outs old and new (yes, we talk about kids & screens, but not for the entire episode).

We're bringing this episode back as Hollywood unveils its reimagining of The Running Man in theatres! While audiences experience this fresh take on Stephen King's dystopian thriller, we thought it was the perfect time to revisit our deep dive into the 1987 Schwarzenegger classic that first brought this dark vision of reality TV to the screen. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering the original after seeing the new version, join us for this exploration of spandex, explosions, and some of Arnold's most memorable one-liners.Arnold Schwarzenegger Meets Dystopian Game ShowsWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell as they tackle The Running Man (1987), Arnold Schwarzenegger's campy dystopian thriller where convicted criminals fight for their lives on America's most popular game show. Set in a totalitarian 2017 where the economy has collapsed and reality TV has become bloodsport, this movie delivers exactly what you'd expect: explosions, terrible one-liners, and an absurd amount of spandex-clad dancers.From Sub-Zero to Plain-ZeroKrissy and Nathan dive deep into the film's bizarre logic, questioning everything from head-exploding collars to the geography of the deadly game arena. They discuss how The Running Man predicted our current era of fake news and manipulated media—making it surprisingly more relevant today than when it was released. The hosts analyze Arnold's performance as Ben Richards, a wrongfully accused helicopter pilot who refuses to massacre civilians and ends up forced into the deadliest game show ever created. They debate whether his character is supposed to be likable (spoiler: he's kind of an a-hole to everyone) and celebrate Richard Dawson's MVP performance as the mustache-twirling villain Damon Killian.The conversation explores the film's kinship with other dystopian classics like RoboCop and Demolition Man, highlighting how it fits into that late-'80s trend of criticizing Reaganomics through sci-fi satire. Nathan and Krissy particularly enjoy dissecting the various "stalkers"—from chainsaw-wielding Buzzsaw to the singing, electrocuting Dynamo—and debate which of Arnold's infamous one-liners actually lands. They also can't help but wonder about the logistics: How do contestants actually win without killing stalkers? Why are the Running Man dancers given so much screen time? And how did the resistance set up headquarters inside the game arena?Additional Thoughts:The movie earns bonus points for "The Justice Department, Entertainment Division" and parody shows like "The Hate Boat" and "Climbing for Dollars"Jesse Ventura's Captain Freedom has the second-biggest character arc in the film (which isn't saying much)The crowd's ability to flip loyalties on a dime strains credibility, even for a ridiculous action movieNathan gives it a 7 out of 10 (but warns first-time viewers will probably rate it lower)The film failed the "Rocket Test"—Krissy's son bailed halfway through his first viewingFinal VerdictBoth hosts agree that The Running Man isn't objectively great, but it's undeniably fun—the kind of movie that gets better with repeat viewings as you embrace the camp. Nathan describes it as a "picante lime potato chip" that you have to get addicted to first. For deep cut recommendations, Nathan suggests Death Race 2000 (1975) as the perfect double feature, while Krissy recommends marathon-watching all four Expendables movies for similar over-the-top action glory.Want more Most Excellent 80s Movies content?Visit TruStory FM to explore The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast and other great shows.

Discutimos los mejores picks, los favoritos al MVP y lesiones más importantes en semana 12 dela NFL.=============

BT & Sal go head-to-head in Three Random Questions, starting with a fiery debate: In a one-game Super Bowl, who are you picking: Phil Simms or Boomer Esiason? Tierney gives a slight edge to Simms' clutch ability and team history, while Sal argues Boomer was the more talented player and a former MVP. What's worse: sitting in gum at MSG (like Sal did) or a homeless person throwing water in your face (like Sal's friend experienced)? Sal details the public humiliation of the gum disaster, but Tierney insists the potential danger and unsanitary nature of the water attack is far worse. Could you survive a prison sentence if you were allowed to have your phone with you at all times? Sal believes his phone could conquer the mental challenge of boredom and solitude, but Tierney delivers a harsh reality check, arguing survival is about more than just entertainment, dismissing the idea that the threat of violence is outdated, despite co-host comments about "uplifting" TikTok prison streams.

Ben Maller talks about reports that the Eagles quietly grumbling about Jalen Hurts, what interim Giants coach Mike Kafka really accomplished by benching Abdul Carter, Tony Romo putting Matthew Stafford in pole position for MVP, Cite the Bite, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
