The markets are seeing red this Thursday as the "Mag 10" takes a hit. On this episode of The Option Block, Mark Longo is joined by Henry Schwartz from Cboe and Mike Tosaw from St. Charles Wealth Management to break down the carnage following NVIDIA's earnings—where even a stellar quarter wasn't enough to satisfy the bulls. The team explores unusual activity in some unexpected names, including a "blast from the past" tech giant and a newcomer in the "Robot as a Service" space. On the Docket: The Trading Block: NVIDIA's worst day in nearly a year. Henry Schwartz breaks down the VIX decomposition and S&P 500 skew, while Mike Tosaw looks at the "flight to safety" in Treasuries (TLT/IEF). The Odd Block: Why is there massive call paper in Blackberry (BB)? Plus, a look at the wild volume in Rich Tech Robotics (RRTX). Mail Block: The panel debates how to approach earnings season. Do you sell juice, buy juice, or avoid it altogether? Around the Block: What to watch for the rest of the week, from PPI data to macro geopolitical tensions in Iran.

In hour three, player props for the Heat and Sixers matchup tonight. Should the Dolphins be interested in trading for Anthony Richardson? Crowder thinks it's a no brainer. Beef Wellington controversy. Plus, our friend Peter Berger joins the show to promote the Fight For Air Climb.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise ponders the San Francisco 49ers' Mac Jones as a potential trade target for GM Omar Khan and the Steelers this offseason. Could he be the best option realistically available over veterans like Kyler Murray, Malik Willis or Daniel Jones? Or over NFL draft options like Ty Simpson, Cade Klubnik, Garrett Nussmeier and Drew Allar? How would he compare to Aaron Rodgers should last year's starter decide to return for 2026? What about other internal options like Mason Rudolph and Will Howard? And to what degree would Mike McCarthy be suited to getting more from Jones than he shown thus far in his NFL career? Paul tackles those questions and offers more reactions to the latest news from the NFL combine in Indianapolis. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 89 kicks off with What Irritated Me This Week, and baybeee… the girls did not waste time. Jerrilyn and Lynee’ dive straight into the chaos at the BAFTAs where a man with Tourette’s loudly shouted the N‑word during a silent auditorium — and somehow kept doing it whenever a Black person walked by. The ladies weren’t buying the “show grace” narrative, especially when the broadcast magically found time to edit out “Free Palestine” but left in a hard‑ER surprise. With their signature blend of humor and “no, because let’s be serious,” they break down ableism, racism, and why apologies that start with “if you were offended…” should go straight to voicemail. Then the episode rolls fully into Girl, What Happened, and it becomes a buffet of foolishness. They break down King vs. 50 Cent, including King’s volcanic Instagram rant about Fifty disrespecting Tiny — the kind of rant where you can practically hear the phone shaking. From there, they explore Fifty’s ongoing villain origin story (complete with petty real estate purchases), Blueface’s never-ending mess, and the epidemic of women dating men who should come with hazard labels. The ladies spiral gloriously into everything from self-esteem, gun licenses, boxing classes, and why some people need to be cussed out at “infraction number one.” And just when you think the episode is calming down, boom — they’re dissecting Elon Musk’s brain-chip experiments, U.S. patents, conspiracies, the Department of Education, detention centers, and why Google should be your best friend instead of TikTok University. But don’t worry, they end the episode on the lightest of notes: debating which ice cream flavor truly represents their souls (pistachio slander included) and planning their next girls’ trip like it’s a federal operation. It’s peak She Said It First — chaotic, hilarious, sharp, and somehow educational if you’re paying attention.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo report from the NFL combine in Indianapolis, where GM Omar Khan spoke extensively about the team's QB situation. The guys react to Khan's comments about Aaron Rodgers as well as backup Will Howard, who has the attention of new coach Mike McCarthy because of his performance in practice over the past year. They also give their thoughts on the 2026 QB class and the possibility that names like Drew Allar, Cade Klubnik or Garrett Nussmeier could be added to the mix with a Day 2 or Day 3 NFL draft pick in anticipation of the stronger 2027 QB class.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise weighs in on the Steelers' offensive line situation amid GM Omar Khan's ominous comments about the Broderick Jones injury at the NFL combine. Does the team need to invest early round draft capital in the tackle position yet again if it believes Jones' injury will linger into training camp or longer? Is Dylan Cook a realistic long-term action after showing promise in a small sample size protecting Aaron Rodgers last season? How does the possible need at tackle compare to the need at guard, where Isaac Seumalo is set to depart and Penn State's Vega Ioane is a top draft option? And how should we feel about the overall future of the unit that also includes Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick and Troy Fautanu? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Read the full article on Oncology Data Advisor: https://oncdata.com/oncology-unfiltered-financial-toxicity In this episode of Oncology Unfiltered, Melissa Cutrona, Co-Founder and General Manager of i3 Health and Oncology Data Advisor, and Matthew Hadfield, DO, Oncology Data Advisor Editor in Chief, explore how financial and geographic toxicities in oncology are, in reality, clinical toxicities. If a patient can't afford to fill the prescription, is it really a treatment option? They discuss what financial toxicity truly means—far beyond drug prices—covering travel, parking, time off work, and the hidden costs of tests and therapies. Dr. Hadfield shares real-world examples of patients turning down innovative treatments and clinical trials because they can't afford the logistical burden, and explains how geography and income create a two-tiered system of cancer care. The conversation examines how financial and geographic barriers distort shared decision making, limit participation in clinical trials, and skew our understanding of real-world efficacy. They also highlight the role of institutions, policymakers, and pharma in improving access, and why oncologists must reconsider ordering patterns, testing habits, and how they counsel patients about the full “cost” of care. Thank you for watching Oncology Unfiltered.

Welcome to Day 7, the final episode of our Loving-Kindness Meditation Series! Loving-kindness—is a simple, science-supported practice that helps you cultivate compassion, strengthen connection, and reduce stress reactivity over time. In today's meditation, you'll do a Weekly Review to reflect on where kindness flowed naturally, where it felt blocked, and how to embody loving-kindness in a way that's warm and boundaried. You'll finish with a short loving-kindness (metta) technique you can use anytime—before a conversation, during stress, or as a daily reset. May you go forth with the tools you gathered during this week's loving-kindness journey! ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Loving-Kindness Meditation: A Daily Heart-Opening Series—a 7-day journey into the ancient practice of cultivating a steady, compassionate heart. This isn't "be positive" meditation, and it isn't personality-based inspiration. It's a classical inner training—rooted in timeless yogic reflections on maitrī (friendliness), compassion, joy, and equanimity—so your mind becomes clearer, your nervous system steadier, and your relationships more spacious. Across this week, you'll build a simple, repeatable heart practice using one focused technique each day: a loving-kindness visualization, a single phrase of kindness, calming breathwork, a heart-opening mudra, a heart-center (4th chakra) nurture practice, a layered "heart stack" you can use anytime, and a gentle weekly review to embody what you've learned. Come as you are—guarded, tender, hopeful, tired, or open. Loving-kindness doesn't require a perfect mood. It only asks for a sincere return. In just a few minutes each day, you'll practice opening the heart with steadiness—so compassion becomes less of an idea and more of a lived inner home. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Loving-Kindness Meditation: A Daily Heart-Opening Series"  episodes 3465-3471. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "META-MICRO MISSION" Each day, send one tiny ripple of kindness: silently offer a loving-kindness phrase to yourself, a neutral person, and a difficult moment (not necessarily a difficult person). Keep it light—3 breaths each— and track your streak with a simple checkmark. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Compassion Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "My heart is open and safe." Day 3:  Heart Coherent Breath: Inhale for 5, Exhale for 5, Repeat for 10 rounds. (Option: inhale "soften, exhale "kindness.") Day 4:  Lotus mudra for opening your heart Day 5:  Fourth chakra for love and gratitude Day 6:  Loving-Kindness Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

In just a few minutes each day, you'll practice opening the heart with steadiness—so compassion becomes less of an idea and more of a lived inner home. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Loving-Kindness Meditation: A Daily Heart-Opening Series"  episodes 3465-3471. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "META-MICRO MISSION" Each day, send one tiny ripple of kindness: silently offer a loving-kindness phrase to yourself, a neutral person, and a difficult moment (not necessarily a difficult person). Keep it light—3 breaths each— and track your streak with a simple checkmark. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Compassion Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "My heart is open and safe." Day 3:  Heart Coherent Breath: Inhale for 5, Exhale for 5, Repeat for 10 rounds. (Option: inhale "soften, exhale "kindness.") Day 4:  Lotus mudra for opening your heart Day 5:  Fourth chakra for love and gratitude Day 6:  Loving-Kindness Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

The Drive wondered if the Chiefs bring back Travis Kelce, will he end up being the Chiefs top receiving target in 2026.

Wolf and John Lund discuss if Aaron Rodgers could be an option for the Arizona Cardinals next season and Phoenix Suns broadcaster Kevin Ray joins the show.  

The Pittsburgh Steelers enter the 2026 offseason with one defining question: who will be the starting quarterback next season? In this episode, Joe and Brian take a deep dive into every path the Steelers could take, from an Aaron Rodgers return to the possibility of handing the offense to Will Howard after a year of development. We explore the veteran quarterbacks who could become available due to contract situations and cap decisions, including Kirk Cousins, Kyler Murray, Tua Tagovailoa, and Derek Carr, and how each one would fit in Pittsburgh. We also examine the free‑agent market, potential bridge options, and the top quarterback prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft who align with the Steelers' long‑term vision. If you want a complete, informed, and forward‑looking breakdown of the Steelers' quarterback plan for 2026, this episode covers every angle. Fan Questions Want to be featured on the show?

In this opening segment, host Clay Edwards shares breaking news on the arrest of former Prince Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in public office, potentially linked to the Epstein files, with implications of life imprisonment or even the death penalty. The discussion pivots to a personal lunch encounter with a retired military listener named Dave, whose story of choosing the military over jail as a troubled youth sparks a deep dive into reinstating this life-saving option for at-risk kids. Clay critiques media narratives discouraging enlistment—especially among Black communities—by branding the military as racist, contrasts sky-high prison recidivism rates (around 66-76%) with the military's benefits like learning trades, leadership, teamwork, and positive male role models, and argues it's a smarter taxpayer investment to build productive citizens rather than perpetuate cycles of crime and dependency. He explores why this practice faded, the societal costs of incarceration, and how it could transform "troubled youth" into community pillars, emphasizing the need for "dogs in the foxhole" while drawing parallels to current cultural brainwashing.

In this episode of The Option Block, Mark Longo, Mike Tosaw (St. Charles Wealth Management) and Kevin Nichols (Cboe Global Markets) to step into the arena.

On the Docket: The Trading Block: A look at the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Russell 2000. Plus, why everyone—from the pros to the "amateurs"—is suddenly obsessed with Gold and Silver.

The Mail Block: Mike Tosaw faces the heat from the Pro Chat: Will he ever buy SLV again, or is he waiting for the 30-handle?

Unser heutiger Gast war schon mehrfach bei uns. Er gehört zu den Menschen, die wir immer wieder einladen, wenn wir selbst merken: Wir brauchen einen Blick weit über den Tellerrand. Er ist Trendscout und Future-of-Work-Experte bei Vitra. Wer jetzt nur an Möbel denkt, denkt zu klein. Denn was ihn wirklich umtreibt, sind nicht Tische und Stühle, sondern tektonische Verschiebungen: KI, Robotik, geopolitische Dynamiken, neue Organisationsformen und vor allem die Frage, wie Unternehmen in einer Welt handlungsfähig bleiben, die sich schneller verändert, als Strategiepapiere geschrieben werden. Er beobachtet globale Innovationscluster, spricht mit Gründern, Militärstrategen, Wissenschaftlern und C-Level-Führungskräften, und er verdichtet das alles zu einer klaren Diagnose: Tempo wird zur Währung. Kooperation wird zur Überlebensstrategie. Anpassungsfähigkeit ist keine Option mehr, sondern Kernkompetenz. Und doch ist es diesmal eine besondere Folge: Eine Kollaboration Zoomer meets Boomer. Ich spreche gemeinsam mit meinem Sohn Oskar und unserem Gast der als Vertreter der Generation X zwischen uns steht. Drei Perspektiven auf eine Welt im Umbruch. Seit fast neun Jahren sprechen wir mit Menschen darüber, wie sich Arbeit verändert hat und was sich weiter verändern muss und wird. Wir haben in mehr 500 Episoden mit fast 700 Persönlichkeiten nach Mustern gesucht, Brüche analysiert und Zukunftsbilder diskutiert. Heute fragen wir: Wenn Tempo zur Währung wird, was heißt das konkret für Führung, Strategie und Entscheidungskultur? Warum verlagert sich Innovation immer stärker in Netzwerke und was bedeutet das für klassische Organisationen? Und ist „Ability to Adapt“ tatsächlich die wichtigste Kompetenz unserer Zeit, mental, strukturell und kulturell? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Wir suchen weiter nach Perspektiven, die uns helfen, Orientierung in Bewegung zu finden. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work, heute in einer Kollaborationsfolge mit Zoomer meets Boomer und meinem Co-Host Oskar Trautmann. Unser heutiger Gast: Raphael Gielgen.

Day 4 of Loving-Kindness Meditation: A Daily Heart-Opening Series follows the arc of Protect—because a truly open heart also needs a steady boundary. In this episode, you'll practice Lotus Mudra (a heart-opening hand gesture) as an embodied anchor for calm, safe openness—helping you release emotional guarding without becoming overexposed. As you hold the mudra at your heart, you'll cultivate loving-kindness with clarity and inner steadiness, so you can feel more centered, less reactive, and more secure in your own presence. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Loving-Kindness Meditation: A Daily Heart-Opening Series—a 7-day journey into the ancient practice of cultivating a steady, compassionate heart. This isn't "be positive" meditation, and it isn't personality-based inspiration. It's a classical inner training—rooted in timeless yogic reflections on maitrī (friendliness), compassion, joy, and equanimity—so your mind becomes clearer, your nervous system steadier, and your relationships more spacious. Across this week, you'll build a simple, repeatable heart practice using one focused technique each day: a loving-kindness visualization, a single phrase of kindness, calming breathwork, a heart-opening mudra, a heart-center (4th chakra) nurture practice, a layered "heart stack" you can use anytime, and a gentle weekly review to embody what you've learned. Come as you are—guarded, tender, hopeful, tired, or open. Loving-kindness doesn't require a perfect mood. It only asks for a sincere return. In just a few minutes each day, you'll practice opening the heart with steadiness—so compassion becomes less of an idea and more of a lived inner home. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Loving-Kindness Meditation: A Daily Heart-Opening Series"  episodes 3465-3471.

Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Robert E. Lee rejects the option of guerrilla warfare at Appomattox, choosing surrender to preserve the nation.

Are you exhausted from trying to look perfect and polished? I'm diving deep into the chokehold of performance and anxiety that keeps so many of us trapped. I'm calling out the Pharisee Complex—the dangerous lie that says excellence equals worthiness. It's time to trade in that prison of perfection for the radical freedom found in grace. I'm giving you the keys today, including three practical, one-thing-only steps to embrace wholeness over flawlessness.  Key Takeaways for a Quick Win God desires wholeness (telios), not flawlessness. Stop striving to be perfect; start pursuing maturity and completeness. Perfectionism is a prison that limits our freedom; it's not a personality type, it's often a protection mechanism. Radical Repentance is the shift from a life of damage control to a life dependent on God's grace. Family, I love you and I'm cheering for you to walk in this new freedom. Don't keep this key to yourself! If this episode broke a chain in your life, you know someone else who needs to hear it.

Episode summary It's mid-February. If you started 2026 with real intentions, and you're already watching old "exceptions" creep back in—this episode is for you. This is the first episode in a 5-part series on DEFENSE: training for the seconds you talk yourself into exceptions. Not the big, dramatic moments. The normal ones that sound reasonable… and quietly keep the pattern intact. You'll learn why your circumstances keep changing but your permission logic stays the same, how you become "exception competent," and why the real leverage isn't in a new plan—it's in the few seconds where your momentum leaks out. What we cover 1) The moment that matters isn't the behavior—it's the permission Most of the struggle isn't "I don't know what to do." It's that when the moment arrives, you're already standing in a perspective that makes the exception feel justified. This is why you can be sincere, committed, and still drift. 2) Exception competence: the same few seconds, dressed up as new circumstances The situation changes ("busy week," "vacation," "didn't sleep," "stressful day")… …but the logic is familiar: permission that sounds responsible, reasonable, earned, or unavoidable. You don't need more willpower. You need to recognize the repeatable moment and train for it. 3) "Finger vs. moon" — why you keep trying to solve the wrong thing A powerful way to think about this: Don't mistake the "finger" for the "moon." Your circumstances are the finger. The permission structure is the moon. This "finger pointing to the moon" teaching is commonly traced to Buddhist/Zen tradition (often linked to the Shurangama Sutra) and it was popularized for many modern listeners via Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon. 4) Momentum doesn't disappear in one dramatic collapse—it leaks One drip feels harmless. But a week of "just this once" is an entirely different story. If you're listening and thinking: "Okay, but what do I do?" That's what DEFENSE Foundations is for.
