Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber are set for a pivotal flyweight matchup, but what exactly is at stake? On Saturday, Blanchfield and Barber headline #UFC Vegas 107 at the World's Mightiest APEX in Las Vegas. Both are still under 28, they represent “The Future” of the flyweight division and are already in the top 5. In normal circumstances, the winner would be a shoo-in for a title shot, but the title picture is suddenly quite muddled at 125 pounds. So are these two women competing for a title fight, and if not, what are they fighting for on Saturday? Ahead of Saturday's #UFCFightNight card at the APEX in Las Vegas, #MMA Fighting's Alexander K. Lee and Jed Meshew preview the event, the headliner between Blanchfield and Barber, the stakes for both fighters, and where the loser goes with a loss. Additionally, they'll touch on other standout matchups on the card, including the co-main event between Mateusz Gamrot and Ludovit Klein, the women's bantamweight bout between Ketlen Vieira and Macy Chiasson, and much more.

Picture this scenario. Staff have worked for a year to bring a project or initiative to the finish line. There have been public meetings and notices, multiple discussions at council meetings, and even some news articles published in the local paper. Out of the blue, a handful of vocal social media commenters start lighting up the city's social media page and local news groups are atwitter as these critics misrepresent the facts of the project and attack the council for not being transparent and seeking feedback from residents. This results in a dozen or more residents attending the next council meeting with four of them attacking the council and staff under the guise of simply seeking transparency. Then the council, caught off guard and reeling from the "onslaught" of public comment decide to table or postpone the issue. Then they direct the city manager and staff to re-engage the public and seek feedback. It's demoralizing and time consuming. It sucks the life out of employees. Sam Toles of CiviSocial joins me on the program to talk about a future initiative aimed at educating and training elected officials about social media, how to interpret criticism, and how to raise these concerns with staff in a healthy and constructive manner.

Picture this: Joe, our guest, finds himself in the comedic chaos of babysitting a two-and-a-half-year-old while trying to rearrange our podcast setup. We dive headfirst into the hilarities and headaches of parenting and babysitting—from debating child dietary dilemmas (sushi over nuggets, anyone?) to the never-ending battle with screen time rules. This episode is a rollercoaster of humor and heart as we draw parallels between raising kids and herding pets, all while untangling microphone cords. Next, we switch gears to the financial playground where we look at how public figures like Shaq inspire us to teach children the weight of a dollar. We exchange stories about allowances, chores, and the different approaches to raising sons and daughters in a world where affluence can blur lines. Our discussion takes a spin into the realm of luxury car collections, where swapping Ford Raptors becomes a strategic dance to avoid depreciation. It's an engaging mix of money management lessons and the allure of high-end vehicles that might just leave you rethinking your next big purchase. As the conversation revs up, we entertain the whimsical notion of opening a Tex-Mex restaurant, complete with margarita shooters and a side of real estate dreams in Fulcher, Texas. Amidst these entrepreneurial aspirations, we tackle the real-world challenges of tariffs and their sneaky impact on profit margins. From tattoos to tariffs, business strategies to basketball, this episode promises a delightful buffet of anecdotes, humor, and thoughtful reflection on the modern maze of parenting, finance, and everything in between.

I NEEDED to record this episode because I keep having these conversations with parents living in Procrastination Purgatory, and I'm like "HELLO, I SEE YOU BECAUSE I WAS YOU!"Remember promising yourself you'd stop yelling "tomorrow"? And tomorrow came and went?So I'm diving into why our brains sabotage our parenting goals. There's actual science behind the "yell now, feel guilty later" cycle. (It's called delay discounting.)

It's like Elvis himself is telling your worries to 'Return to Sender'!"Memory Palace Location: In the center of the Harmonious Health Hall, perhaps on a grand dance floor.PAO:Grandpa Bill's Story: "Now, look straight ahead into the heart of our hall. Who do you see? It's Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, absolutely twirling with pure joy under a magnificent, Giant Sparkling Disco Ball! They're having a blast, laughing, totally connected. This reminds us that music, especially dancing and singing in a choir, boosts your mood and strengthens social connections! Get up and move with your fellow Silver Streakers!"Memory Palace Location: At the far end of the Harmonious Health Hall, near a stage or grand piano.PAO:Grandpa Bill's Story: "Walk with me now to the other end of the hall, near the stage. And who's up there? None other than Albert Einstein, with a big smile, conducting an invisible orchestra with incredible focus! Next to him is a Glowing Brain-Shaped Jigsaw Puzzle, with all the pieces perfectly fitting together. That's music, folks! Engaging with music, whether it's learning an instrument, singing, or dancing, actually enhances your cognitive function and sharpens your memory!

Get ready for the most unbelievable survival story you've ever heard. Hosts Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen deliver a jaw-dropping tale that sounds like Hollywood fiction but is 100% real—and it happened at 400 mph, 17,000 feet above ground. Picture this: June 10th, 1990. British Airways Flight 5390. Thirteen minutes after takeoff, the cockpit windscreen explosively blows out, and Captain Tim Lancaster gets literally sucked halfway out of the aircraft. For 22 agonizing minutes, he's pinned against the fuselage—outside a commercial airliner—while his crew desperately holds onto his legs and fights to land the plane. This isn't just a survival story—it's a masterclass in: Split-second decision making under impossible pressure How tiny maintenance errors can cascade into life-or-death emergencies The extraordinary power of human resilience and teamwork What happens to the human body at extreme altitude (spoiler: it's not pretty) Why aviation safety procedures exist—and what happens when they fail Kaycee and Julie break down this incredible true story minute-by-minute, from the catastrophic windscreen failure to the heroic actions of First Officer Alistair Atkinson and flight attendant Nigel Ogden. You'll learn about the physics of explosive decompression, the investigation that revealed shocking maintenance failures, and how Captain Lancaster somehow survived conditions that should have killed him in minutes.

In this episode we are thrilled to be joined by NBA salary cap expert analyst Yossi Gozlan, making his third appearance on our podcast.Today we focus on the Mavericks' salary cap situation going into this pivotal summer where they will draft Cooper Flagg #1 overall and pivot their team building around him. Yossi tells us that the Mavericks will enter this summer slightly over the 2nd apron of $207.8 million, and will probably be looking to shed some salary so they can get under that figure. They may even try to dump further money so that they can get under the 1st apron threshold of $195.9 million. In all likelihood, they will at least be over the luxury tax threshold of $187.8 million, limiting their player acquisition avenues to the taxpayer mid-level exception, and trades. In order to gain access to the full mid-level exception, the Mavericks would have to shed enough salary to get under that luxury tax threshold, which may be difficult to do with only one team (Brooklyn Nets) possessing cap space to potentially take on contracts in a salary dump. We then discuss with Yossi whether it makes sense for the Mavs to prioritize their future with Flagg by trading Anthony Davis while his value is still high. We are all in agreement that while that is the wise decision, we do not trust Mavs general manager Nico Harrison to do it. With that in mind, Yossi walks us through avenues the Mavs can move around players on their roster to address their biggest needs this summer, namely a point guard. Yossi also tells us that while the penalties of the NBA's “Apron era” can be harsh, there are still avenues for teams to avoid the worst effects of it, specifically frozen draft picks. Finally, with Yossi being a Los Angeles resident, we get his perspective on how the vibe in the city has changed since the Lakers traded for Luka Dončić. He talks about how Luka reminds a lot of Lakers fans of certain Laker legends such as Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson. While we all lament the deal, we try to look forward to the new era the Mavs will be entering with Cooper Flagg. You can follow Yossi on X/Twitter @YossiGozlan.

Hi This is Brad Weisman - Click Here to Send Me a Text MessageEver wondered why vacation rentals can feel like a gamble? The photos look amazing, but will there be decent kitchen knives? Enough toilet paper? Clean linens? Steve Petasky of Luxus Vacation Properties is transforming this unpredictable experience into one of absolute certainty.Picture a world where vacation rentals deliver the consistency of a luxury hotel with the space and privacy of a private home. That's the vision behind Luxus Vacation Properties, which Petasky describes as "JW Marriott meets Airbnb." What began as a personal solution for his growing family in 2006 has evolved into a company that's serviced over 20,000 vacations and is partnering with iconic brands like Four Seasons.The magic of Luxus isn't just in selecting beautiful properties—though they certainly do that—but in standardizing the experience across every location. Whether you're staying in their Costa Rica villa or California condo, you'll find the same premium mattress, high-quality linens, fully-stocked kitchen, and reliable amenities. This consistency creates what Petasky calls the most valuable luxury of all: certainty.Behind this seemingly simple concept lies complex execution challenges, from convincing homeowners to upgrade their properties to navigating the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape of short-term rentals worldwide. Yet properties that meet the Luxus standard consistently outperform the market, often generating an additional $50,000-100,000 in annual revenue.Perhaps most fascinating is how Petasky's business philosophy was shaped by his childhood experience of being robbed during a family Disney vacation, when another family's unexpected generosity showed him the transformative power of hospitality.

Daily Dose of Hope May 21, 2025 Day 3 of Week 8 Scripture – Matthew 3 Prayer: Amazing Father and Lord, Thank you for who you are. Thank you for how you care for us. We get distracted. We veer away from you and your Word. For that, we are so very sorry. Forgive us, Lord. Help us to abide in you. Help us to remain close so that we can be fruitful and effective for your Kingdom. Help us get outside ourselves and see others as you see them. Lord, we belong to you. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we are taking a look at Matthew 3. Matthew begins by quoting from the book of the prophet Isaiah about a messenger who would be sent ahead of Jesus to prepare the way for him. And this person, Scripture says, is John the Baptist. We learn from reading other Gospels that John the Baptist is actually Jesus' first cousin. The whole Judean countryside came out to see John the Baptist. Picture this, masses of people were leaving their villages and coming into the wilderness (which looks more like desert than forest) to get baptized by John. But why? I mean, he was a weird dude, wearing camel hair and eating locusts dipped in wild honey. He had taken a vow of poverty. Maybe they wanted to check out this really bizarre guy but that doesn't explain everything. John was offering them something they desperately needed – good news, forgiveness, cleansing. And the good news he offered wasn't that they would receive something good when they die, but that there is good news, there is hope, for life right now. And remember, these were dark days. The people were yearning for hope. He also calls out the Pharisees and Sadducees. He knows their hearts are evil so he refers to them as a brood of vipers. Vipers are venomous so John is not hiding his dislike. He is saying that the Pharisees (the religious teachers) and the Sadducees (the wealthy Jewish aristocracy) are evil, deceitful, hypocritical, and connected to Satan. Those are fighting words. It's surprising John didn't get in trouble right then and there. But then John says something interesting. He says that someone else is coming, one more powerful than him, whose sandals he is not worthy to stoop down and untie. That's pretty extreme. I mean, slaves were typically the ones who untied sandals because they were so filthy. And John says that while he baptizes with water, the one coming after him will baptize with the Holy Spirit. For those who were listening to John, this may have been scary. What kind of person would John feel so humbled by? And then, we meet him. It's Jesus, whose birth we have just heard about. He comes to John to be baptized. John is hesitant. He knows that Jesus should be baptizing him. But he relents. John knows that this needs to happen. Remember, Matthew is clearly pointing out here that Jesus is Messiah and the fulfillment of prophecy for the Jews. Then, there is this beautiful scene, depicting the Trinity, in which God the Father announces his approval of God the Son and then God the Holy Spirit descends as a dove. There is a voice from heaven, “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” Before we move on in Matthew, let's spend a little bit of time talking about repentance. The people were coming to John to confess their sins, repent, and receive cleansing. Every single one of us need that. When is the last time you have spent time in confession and repentance? Talk to God right now. Receive the ultimate cleansing as only he can give. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Jim Worden says he and his firm "really, really like" Nvidia (NVDA) and notes Broadcom (AVGO) as a rising competitor in the A.I. hardware space. When it comes to other mega caps, he's not as confident. He sees Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) struggling with tariffs and sees road bumps ahead for Tesla (TSLA). Lisa Schreiber doesn't expect Amazon to face as much tariff impact as Apple. One headwind she sees in the company is its AWS cloud revenue.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. Dan was live at the ballpark getting set for his duties tonight as the Pirates host the Reds. He gave the feel from the park. Dan gave his take on how Paul Skenes could be feeling as he continues to watch this team waste his talent. Could the Pirates be working themselves into a no-win situation if they don't figure it out? Dan reacted to a report that Jared Jones could be going under the knife for Tommy John surgery, which would keep him out probably until the 2027 season. Dan doesn't think you needed to squint too hard to see that coming, but either the team or player wanted to just hope the tendon would get better. He questioned when we would see Jones pitch again.

Hear about New Zealand Great Walks as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jonty Crane from jontynz.com about these amazing multi-day treks in his home country. Picture snow-capped mountains, volcanic landscapes, brilliant blue alpine lakes, epic coastal scenery, unusual native birds, wilderness as far as the eye can see, golden sand beaches, historic sites, lush moss-filled bush, and huge waterfalls. New Zealand has ten Great Walks, 3-5 day hikes (or tramps in NZ) through some of the finest scenery in this beautiful country. The Great Walks are an accessible introduction to multi-day hikes. They have well-maintained tracks and cosy huts, providing a relatively safe experience.These aren't the luxury hikes available in Europe; you will generally carry almost everything you need, and won't have a shower for a few days, but they're incredibly rewarding experiences. Jonty gives an overview of each walk in alphabetical order, and finishes with general information and recommendations. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/new-zealand-great-walks/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Michelle Williams talks about starring in Dying For Sex — a dark but funny TV series based on a true story about a woman with stage four cancer who, facing death, decides to take ownership of her sexual pleasure. Also, we hear from Sarah Snook. She's best known for her role on HBO's Succession as Shiv Roy. She tells us why she almost didn't audition for the part.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dive into the fight for justice for Scott Spivey, who was killed in a shooting incident in Horry County, SC, after allegedly being chased for nine miles. Scott's sister, Jennifer Spivey Foley, has emerged as a powerful force demanding accountability. Along with attorney Mark ‘The Tiger' Tinsley, Jennifer's lawsuit has unearthed a "treasure trove of evidence" pointing to an allegedly "corrupt and inept investigation by Horry County Police" and a flawed review by SLED and the Attorney General's Office. Jennifer reveals how she discovered crucial audio recordings from evidence collected on the shooter Weldon Boyd's phone, which contradict the official narrative. You'll hear Jennifer's powerful and emotional speech before the Horry County Council, where she outlined the biased investigation, mishandling of evidence (including Scott's body), and challenged officials directly. We also share the chilling audio from Weldon's own phone where he boasts Scott was "terrified" during the chase. The episode explores the political response, including a letter from Horry County lawmakers asking the governor to intervene. We scrutinize State Representative William Bailey's decision not to sign this letter and examine disturbing recorded phone calls where Weldon Boyd discusses a potential "proclamation for bravery" allegedly crafted by his attorney Ken Moss and SC State Rep. Bailey. Bailey denies involvement, but his statements appear contradicted by the evidence. We also dissect the Horry County Police Department's press conference aimed at mitigating backlash. Chief Kris Leonhart's explanation of "improperly labeled videos" is obviously inadequate. More significantly, Chief Leonhart's claim that former Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland had "no action on scene" is directly countered by Strickland's own voice on tape admitting he was "working in the shadows" for Weldon Boyd the night of the shooting. Lots to cover, so let's dive in...
Snook, who played Shiv Roy on Succession, was just nominated for a Tony for playing all the characters in The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway. "I don't know what comes after this," she says. She talks about playing 26 different parts in Dorian, why she almost didn't audition for Succession, and the word she could never quite say in an American accent. Also, Ken Tucker shares a remembrance of the leader of Pere Ubu, David Thomas.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
