Jon and Adam discuss two different ways golfers can improve how they respond when things go wrong. Jon shares a difficult tournament experience at the Met Amateur and explains why he tries to view every round as part of a much longer process—using bad days to practice staying engaged, committing to good decisions, and building habits that will carry into future rounds. Adam then explores how faulty concepts about impact, ball flight, alignment, and swing mechanics can send golfers down the wrong path, even when those beliefs feel logical. They also discuss why better players can sometimes perform well despite incorrect ideas, and why understanding what actually caused a bad shot gives golfers a much better chance of making the right adjustment.

Howse, Voice & OG Tony discuss AEW Dynamite's final stop before ALL IN: LONDON!
Last year, Daniel Kokotajlo and his colleagues published AI 2027 — a scenario read by millions, including US Vice President Vance. AI 2027 ended in human extinction or an irreversible concentration of power caused by superintelligent AI. Now his team has published what they think should happen instead.AI 2040: Plan A depicts the US and China striking a verified deal to ban runaway intelligence explosions, so that superintelligence arrives in 2040 — after a cautious decade spent solving alignment, spreading the technology's power widely, and keeping the whole thing reversible — rather than in the next few years.This slowdown would still involve economic growth roughly doubling every year, and only 8% of Americans in paid work by the mid-2030s. In other words, it's a slowdown that would feel faster than any period in human history — bewildering, materially abundant, and socially chaotic all at once.Daniel and host Luisa Rodriguez dig into what it would take to enact this vision for the future, how the US and China could come to an agreement to slow down AI development, and the likeliest alternatives to Plan A — both good and disastrous.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/dk26This episode was recorded July 27–28, 2026.Chapters:Who's Daniel Kokotajlo?

The Messy Middle of Your Outdoor Classroom: Permission to Start SmallWhat if your outdoor classroom doesn't need to be finished—or even close to perfect—to be meaningful?In this episode, we're talking about two permissions every outdoor educator needs: permission to start small and permission to embrace the messy middle.It's easy to look at a beautiful, established outdoor classroom and think you need the budget, materials, master plan, and perfect space before you can begin. But meaningful outdoor classrooms rarely happen all at once. They grow one idea, one experiment, and one small step at a time.And once you start? Things get messy. Children use materials in ways you never expected. Plants die. Plans change. Carefully designed spaces get rearranged. Something you thought children would love gets ignored—while the simplest addition captures their attention for weeks.That messy middle isn't a sign that you're doing it wrong. It's where the learning happens. In this episode, we explore:Why starting small is not the same as thinking smallHow to begin with what you already haveWhy your outdoor classroom doesn't need to look like anyone else'sWhat children's unexpected use of a space can teach usHow to view the “mess” as information instead of failureWhy outdoor classrooms should evolve alongside the children who use themHow to recognize progress that has nothing to do with how beautiful your space looksWhen to keep going, change direction, or let an idea goWhether you're dreaming about your first outdoor classroom, taking your first few steps, or standing right in the middle wondering if any of it is working, this conversation is for you. You don't need the whole plan to begin.Start small. Stay curious. Let it be messy.Then take the next small step. Outdoor Classroom Resources & Links:
The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
If you're doing EVERYTHING in your relationship and starting to resent the hell out of your partner for it…we need to talk. You're the one who notices. Remembers. Plans. Worries. Follows up. Makes sure things actually happen. And after a while, it stops feeling like we're in this together and starts feeling like: Why am I the only one who cares? I've been a marriage counselor for over twenty years, and I can tell you: this dynamic can get ugly. Because underneath the arguments about dishes, schedules, kids, errands, and who was supposed to do what is something much more painful: If you really loved me, why would you let me carry all of this alone? That's why I invited sociologist Dr. Leah Ruppanner, author of Drained, to join me for a very real conversation about mental load, resentment, and how to create a relationship that actually feels balanced again. And some of what she shared surprised me. Because the solution may not be getting your partner to do more. It may not be splitting everything 50/50. And some of the things you're doing to make your relationship more equitable could actually be keeping you stuck. You'll discover: Why does the mental load turn into such intense resentment? What's really happening when you feel like you're the only one who cares? Why can asking your partner to “just help more” backfire? What if 50/50 isn't actually the healthiest goal? Are you unknowingly making it harder for your partner to step up? And how do you change this dynamic when your partner isn't changing? If you're exhausted from carrying your relationship (and even more exhausted from being angry about it), listen to this before you have the same fight again.

Howse, Voice & Young Boi Bryce welcome Independent Pro Wrestler Tommy Invincible to IYH!
Jesus also told them other parables. He said, “The Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a king who prepared a great wedding feast for his son. When the banquet was ready, he sent his servants to notify those who were invited. But they all refused to come! So he sent other servants to tell them, ‘The feast has been prepared. The bulls and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the banquet!' But the guests he had invited ignored them and went their own way, one to his farm, another to his business. Others seized his messengers and insulted them and killed them. The king was furious, and he sent out his army to destroy the murderers and burn their town. And he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, and the guests I invited aren't worthy of the honor. Now go out to the street corners and invite everyone you see.' So the servants brought in everyone they could find, good and bad alike, and the banquet hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests, he noticed a man who wasn't wearing the proper clothes for a wedding. ‘Friend,' he asked, ‘how is it that you are here without wedding clothes?' But the man had no reply. Then the king said to his aides, ‘Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen.” Jesus is using the example of a royal wedding. The prince is getting married and the king is sending invitations to the celebration. It would have been considered an absolute honor to receive this invitation. There would be no reason NOT to go to the wedding. Everyone hearing this story knew you simply would not miss this opportunity. How foolish to not go when the king has invited you to be part of the royal celebration. And Jesus is saying, the true King of all kings, the maker of Heaven and Earth, our Heavenly Father, has invited us to his celebration. How unbelievably foolish would it be for us to refuse his goodness. For real, why do we resist? God says in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for YOU. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.” Why in the world would we refuse his good plans? But we do, don’t we? A few months ago I was trying to make a decision. It was a pretty big decision and I didn’t know what to do. I knew what I wanted to do because I was just tired. But I didn’t have any peace about it. So, I sat down and journaled my prayer asking God for his direction. Afterwards, I sat and waited for the Holy Spirit to show me God’s answer. His answer to me was I had free will to make any choice I wanted, but God had an invitation for me to trust him. An invitation to continue on with him on the journey even when I was really tired. I had received an invitation to God’s goodness – why in the world would I refuse that? With this new perspective of God’s invitation, I accepted, I trusted him, I continued, and he renewed me. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. I bet right now God is inviting you into his goodness. The problem is, it might require you to step out of your comfort zone. It might require you to put a bra on, along with some real pants and show up early. It might make you meet new people, go where you’ve never gone before, forfeit control and forfeit comfort. Trade your known for the unknown. And here’s the thing, if your world has slowly shrank in and become smaller, that invitation is becoming harder and harder for you to accept. That’s the way a little life works. Our life just keeps shrinking and shrinking, while the confines of our comfort zone tell us to just stay here where it’s known and where it’s safe. All while God created you for a great big, beautiful life! Girl, you’ve been missing out! There’s so much more for you. God’s goodness is out here, available for the taking – but you’ve been choosing comfort over Kingdom. You’ve been choosing what is easy over what is eternal. You’ve been choosing what you know over what God is inviting you to discover. If God is inviting you, why are you not going? If your life has gotten too busy to accept an invitation to God’s good plans, then quite simply, YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME TOO BUSY. If your life has become so comfortable that you don’t want to be inconvenienced, YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME TOO COMFORTABLE. If your life has become so predictable that you don’t have room for the unexpected things God wants to do, YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME TOO SMALL. If you have so carefully built your life that there is no room left for God to interrupt it, you aren’t actually living surrendered – You’re living scheduled. And maybe that’s the invitation today. Not an invitation to do more. An invitation to make room. Make room for God to surprise you. Make room for people you didn’t plan to meet. Make room for places you didn’t plan to go. Make room for opportunities you didn’t see coming. Make room for obedience that doesn’t make sense yet. Make room for a life that is bigger than the one you could have planned for yourself. Because here’s what I’ve learned: God’s invitations rarely come wrapped in comfort. Sometimes His invitation looks like an uncomfortable conversation. Sometimes it looks like showing up when you’d rather stay home. Sometimes it looks like saying yes before you know how. Sometimes it looks like releasing something you’ve been holding onto. Sometimes it looks like walking into the room where you don’t know anybody. Sometimes it looks like putting on a bra, real pants, and getting your butt out the door. And sometimes the invitation is simply: “Trust Me.” That’s what mine was. And when I said yes, I discovered something I don’t want you to miss: God’s invitation wasn’t taking something good away from me. It was leading me into something better. I thought I was sacrificing my comfort. God was expanding my life. I thought I was choosing obedience over what I wanted. But what I discovered was that obedience was actually the doorway to what I wanted most. That’s the deception of a little life. We think we’re protecting ourselves when we’re actually restricting ourselves. We think we’re choosing peace when we’re actually avoiding growth. We think we’re choosing comfort when we’re actually missing the whole point. We think we’re keeping our lives manageable when God is standing outside the door saying, “Girl, I have so much more for you.” Where is God inviting you? What have you been saying no to because it’s inconvenient? What have you been avoiding because it’s uncomfortable? Where have you allowed fear to make the decision for you? The King has prepared the feast. The table is set. The invitation is in your hand. Don’t miss the feast because you’re too comfortable sitting at home. Don’t miss God’s goodness because you’re afraid of what saying yes might cost you. Don’t keep choosing a little life when you’ve been invited into a BIG one. And here’s the really crazy thing about this parable: The invitation is not the end of the story. The king invited everyone. The good. The bad. The people who had their act together. The people who absolutely did not. The people who looked like they belonged at a royal wedding and the people who probably showed up wondering if they had accidentally walked into the wrong party. Some accepted, most did not. Everyone was invited, deserving or not. And you know what that is – That’s grace. You didn’t earn the invitation. You didn’t clean yourself up enough to deserve it. You didn’t become good enough to get through the door. You were invited because the King wanted you there. The King will not have an empty banquet. Girl, if you don’t accept his invitation to goodness, he will find someone to fill your spot at the table. But then Jesus tells us something strange. The king walks into the banquet and notices a man who isn’t wearing wedding clothes and has him thrown out. Wait what? At first this seems harsh. The guy was invited off the street – How was he supposed to have wedding clothes? But Jesus isn’t talking about a literal dress code. Dig deeper. Jesus is talking about someone refusing to CHANGE. (Let that set in). The man refused to change, so he was thrown out. When you accept God’s invitation, grace gets you in the door. But grace doesn’t leave you the same once you’re inside. Grace changes you and makes you new. The invitation says, “Come.” The wedding clothes say, “Now become.” God doesn’t invite you into his Kingdom just so you can keep living exactly the way you were living before you met Him. He invites you into something new. A new way of thinking. A new way of loving. A new way of living. A new way of responding. A new way of trusting. A new way of seeing yourself. A new way of seeing other people. A new way of doing life. You don’t have to earn God’s invitation. But if you accept the invitation, you have to be willing to let the King change you. You weren’t invited to a better version of your old life. You were invited to a completely different life. A BIG life. A Kingdom life. A life where you don’t have to be driven by fear, because you trust God. A life where you don’t have to control everything, because you know who is in control. A life where you don’t have to protect yourself from every possible disappointment, because you know God is faithful. A life where you don’t jump through hoops trying to be accepted, because you already know you’re loved. What is God inviting you into? And maybe even more importantly: What are you allowing to keep you from accepting the invitation? Is it comfort? Fear? Control? Busyness? Your need to know exactly how it’s going to turn out? Your fear of what other people will think? Your exhaustion? Your excuses? The King has prepared the feast. The table is set. The invitation has been sent. And you can keep standing outside wondering if you’re ready. Or you can walk through the door. You can say yes. You can trust Him. You can put on the wedding clothes and start changing. Girl, the King has invited you to the feast. Don’t miss the party because you’re too comfortable in the parking lot. Don’t miss the Kingdom because you’re afraid to leave your little life. Don’t miss what God has for you because you’re waiting until you feel ready. The table has been set and there’s a seat for you here – Oh how I pray you accept the invitation, let your life be changed, and meet me at the party!

In this week's Dungeons and Dragons episode, the agents trade careful observation for a far riskier conversation behind closed doors. Plans become increasingly questionable, the Dice bring some unexpectedly sweet consequences, and in this DnD chapter, one frightened man is pushed towards a choice he desperately wants no part in. Some doors are difficult to open… and even harder to close again.How far can the agents push before trust finally breaks? What price does “The Choice” really demand? And have they just endangered the very person they need most?There's only one way to find out, grab your Dnd Dice, join Tom (Patch), Paul (Sig), Alex (Ivan), Chip (Snik), James (Albert T Bungle) led by DM Sophie (The Dungeon Master) and Roll Britannia.LIVE Events https://www.rollbritannia.co.uk/live |Patreon http://www.patreon.com/rollbritannia |Feedspot https://podcast.feedspot.com/dnd_podcasts/ |Sound & music by Syrinscape: https://syrinscape.com/attributions/?id=142440 |Roll Britannia is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Behind the Business #9: How I Actually Get Work Done With Three Kids at Home Hook: How I stay consistent in my business—even when motivation is gone. Welcome back to Behind the Business, where I'm taking you behind the scenes of how I actually run Classy Career Girl. Last week, I took you behind the scenes of my life—motherhood, homeschooling, travel, routines, and the choices we've made as a family. This week, we're going behind the business. Yesterday, I shared the one-page business plan I actually use. But here's the thing: A business plan doesn't work if you don't actually do the work. And that is what I want to talk about today. Because I have three kids at home. We homeschool. We have gymnastics, activities, appointments, meals, laundry, and all the normal things happening around us. And I still have a business to run. So how do I actually get things done? Especially on the days when I don't feel motivated? Motivation Is Not My Strategy One of the biggest things I've learned after more than a decade of entrepreneurship is this: You cannot build a business based on whether you feel motivated that day. There are mornings when I'm excited to work. There are also mornings when I'm tired, someone needs me, the schedule changes, or I would rather do almost anything else. Consistency comes from having a simple system I can return to. And for me, that starts with knowing my priorities. 1. I Design My Work Around My Life I don't start by asking: "How can I fit my family around everything I need to accomplish in my business?" I do the opposite. I look at our family schedule first. When are we homeschooling? When do the kids need me? What activities do we have? When do I want to be completely off? Then I decide where work fits. I've learned that less time can actually make me more productive because I have to decide what truly matters. I can't spend six hours making a Canva graphic perfect. I have to focus on the work that actually grows the business. 2. I Know My Most Important Business Activities There will always be more things I could do than I have time to do. So I focus first on the activities that move the business forward: Sales. What am I selling? Who needs to hear about it? What conversations do I need to have? Delivery. What do my clients and customers need from me? Marketing. What podcast, email, social media post, or piece of content needs to go out? Everything else comes after those things. Because a full to-do list does not necessarily mean you're growing your business. 3. I Pick My Top Three This is probably one of the simplest things I do, but it makes a huge difference. Every day, I identify my top three priorities. Not 27. Three. If the day completely falls apart but I accomplish those three things, I can still say: "Today moved the business forward." That helps me avoid spending my best working hours answering random emails, organizing files, or doing little tasks that feel productive but aren't actually important. 4. I Time Block the Work Once I know the priorities, I give them somewhere to live. I don't just write: "Record podcast." I decide when I'm recording the podcast. I don't just write: "Follow up with potential clients." I put a block on my calendar to do it. Your calendar forces you to confront reality. You might have 15 things on your list, but only two hours available. Something has to go. And that's okay. 5. I Make Consistency Easier I also use simple tools to reduce the amount of thinking I have to do. I use things like ChatGPT to help me organize a messy brain dump into priorities. I use project-management tools to keep track of what needs to happen. I use Calendly so I'm not going back and forth scheduling calls. I use ManyChat so someone can comment a keyword and automatically receive the resource they're looking for. The goal isn't to add more technology. The goal is to remove friction. Every little decision you can eliminate gives you more energy for the work that actually needs you. 6. I Communicate My Boundaries This is a huge one when you work from home. My kids know there are times when Mom is working. They also know there are times when they have my full attention. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. There are interruptions. Plans change. Someone needs something. That's life with kids. But having boundaries and rhythms makes it possible for me to be present in both places. What I Do When Motivation Is Completely Gone And then there are those days. You know the ones. You don't want to record the podcast. You don't want to write the email. You don't want to make the sales call. Here's what I do: I make the next step smaller. I don't tell myself I have to finish everything. I ask: "What's the next most important thing I can do?" Open the document. Record the first five minutes. Send one follow-up. Write one paragraph. Start. Because action creates momentum. You don't have to feel motivated before you begin. The To-Do List I Actually Use I have a really simple Daily To-Do List that helps me do all of this. It's one page. It helps me identify my priorities, organize what needs to happen, and focus on what actually matters that day. And you can download the exact template I use for free. I'll put the link in the show notes. Because you don't need another complicated productivity system. You need to know: What matters today? When am I going to do it? And what can I let go of? That's how I've stayed consistent. Not because I'm motivated every day. Not because I have unlimited time. But because I've learned to focus the limited time I do have on the things that matter most. And sometimes, that's actually the gift of building a business with kids at home. You learn very quickly what deserves your time. I'll see you tomorrow for another episode of Behind the Business.
Trigger warning: This episode contains detailed discussion of the deaths of children, suicide, self-harm and severe postpartum mental illness.A quick note: throughout the recording we repeatedly refer to this episode as a Hive. Plans changed! This is actually Part One of this week's main episode.This week, we're diving into the deeply disturbing and increasingly complicated case of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three young children in January 2023.In Part One, Cass takes us through the Clancy family before the tragedy, Lindsay's history of postpartum anxiety and insomnia, the extraordinary number of medications she was prescribed in the months beforehand, and what is known about the day Cora, Dawson and Callan died. We then get into the trial itself where the central question isn't whether Lindsay killed her children, but whether she was criminally responsible for her actions at the time.We meet the key players, including Lindsay's formidable defence attorney Kevin Reddington, and work through the first seven days of testimony: Patrick Clancy's account, the timeline, the phone calls, the forensic evidence, the medications and the details that have begun fuelling a very different conversation online about what may have happened inside that house.Part Two will be available exclusively on Patreon, where we'll continue through the trial and get into the evidence, unanswered questions and theories surrounding the case.

What if suffering doesn't begin with what happens to you?What if it begins the moment the mind says, “This shouldn't be happening”?In this episode of The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin invites you into a direct investigation of one of the most persistent mechanisms of the human mind: resistance.Life includes pain. Relationships change. Bodies age. Businesses fail. People leave. Money comes and goes. Plans fall apart. People we love die. None of this is being denied, minimized, or spiritually bypassed.But pain and suffering are not necessarily the same thing.There is what happens - and then there is what the mind says about what happens.Reality says, “This happened.”The mind says, “This should not have happened.”And in the distance between those two statements, suffering begins.Throughout this episode, Kevin examines the subtle ways we argue with reality through words like should, shouldn't, must, and fair. We create an imaginary version of life, compare it with what is actually happening, and then demand that reality conform to the image in our minds.But reality never signed that contract.This investigation moves beyond the simplistic idea that acceptance means becoming passive, indifferent, or unwilling to act. Acceptance does not mean staying in a burning building. It does not mean tolerating abuse, ignoring financial problems, abandoning boundaries, or pretending painful experiences do not hurt.Acceptance means seeing what is actually here clearly enough to respond without first requiring reality to be different.And then the investigation goes deeper.If resistance is happening, who exactly is resisting?When a thought appears - “I don't want this,” “This shouldn't be happening,” “I need to fix this” - did you choose that thought? Did you construct it deliberately? Or did it simply appear?What about the emotion that followed it?What about the physical contraction in the body?As Kevin follows resistance back toward its source, the episode moves from the mechanics of suffering into a deeper inquiry about identity itself. The mind does not merely resist circumstances. It resists anything that threatens the story of the person it believes itself to be.The successful man.The good man.The strong man.The husband.The father.The teacher.The seeker.The person who believes he is controlling his life.But when you actually search for the one supposedly standing behind all of these identities, what do you find?This episode is not an invitation to adopt another philosophy or replace one belief with a more spiritual belief. It is an invitation to look.To investigate.To discover what remains before the commentary, before the judgment, before the story, and before the demand that this moment become something other than what it already is.Because perhaps peace is not something waiting for you after life finally cooperates.Perhaps peace is what remains when the argument with life ends.And perhaps the most important question is also the simplest:Without referring to thought, what is wrong with this moment?
The goal is not to create a perfect week where nothing goes wrong. Because friend... that week does not exist.
Plans build and excitement rises, but a surprise announcement threatens to throw everything out of tune.Listen to more Discovery Mountain episodes at discoverymountain.com. Discovery Mountain is a production of Voice of Prophecy.
The Oregon Coast Trail backpacking adventure officially begins! Mysterious James and I head for the Oregon Coast expecting a roughly 10-mile first day over Neahkahnie Mountain. Naturally, the adventure starts with us watching our connecting bus leave without us. Is the entire trip scuttled before we even begin? "My Tent is not Viable" Check out this absolutely hysterical special design awarded to Brock and I to memorialize our night 1 mishap... See more of Simone's designs here. The Pedalshift Project 448: Oregon Coast Trail - Part 1 Portland to Tillamook goes exactly according to plan. This will not last. A confusing route-number change leads to Tim and James missing their northbound connection while essentially standing next to it. With Uber, Lyft and other escape routes unavailable, it's time for Plan B. A few bonus hours in Tillamook include an unexpectedly excellent visit to the Tillamook County Public Library. The revised plan: take the later bus to Manzanita, establish a base there and turn the day's planned hike into an out-and-back toward Neahkahnie Mountain. First impressions of experiencing familiar Oregon Coast territory on foot instead of from a bicycle. The backpacking finally begins with a walk along the beach at Manzanita. Important navigational discovery: if the Pacific Ocean is on your left, you're probably walking north. Firm beach sand: surprisingly excellent walking. Soft beach sand: considerably less excellent. Heading inland and uphill on the Headwaters Trail toward Neahkahnie Mountain. About 3.5 miles of continuous climbing provides the first real test of the new packs and gear. Early verdict: the pack weights feel completely manageable for the planned 7–10 mile days. Tim and James discover that humid-weather backpacking may not be part of their future long-distance hiking careers. The shortened route still delivers nearly everything they wanted from the original day: climbing, forest trails, beach walking and plenty of mileage. Back in Manzanita for the most important part of any successful hiking itinerary: pizza and beer. A surprising amount of actual bike content, with multiple loaded touring cyclists spotted along the coast. The final walk to Nehalem Bay State Park is longer than expected, pushing the day's total close to nine miles. First impressions of the Nehalem Bay hiker-biker campsite, including lockers, charging and bike repair facilities. The new tent gets its first setup and the backpacking gear earns high marks. Day one verdict: despite immediately borking the original plan, the Oregon Coast Trail experiment is a success. Next up: more beach walking, changing weather and Day 2 on the Oregon Coast Trail. Statistics Miles hiked 9 Missed buses: 1 Loaded bicycle tourists spotted: 7 Plans successfully improvised: 1 Days of rain on the Oregon coast we did not expect 1 Flats N/A

August 10, 2026.In this broadcast, host Tim Ozman announces the expansion of “Realville,” a conceptual and intellectual settlement designed to confront the “controlled opposition” within the truth community. Ozman argues that mainstream news and alternative conspiracy theories are both parts of a “bifurcated” world stage, a closed informational system designed to keep the public in a state of fear or “mind war”. He deconstructs the concept of the “Metascript,” identifying government officials and entertainment directors as the architects of simulated events like 9/11 and the JFK assassination. The program emphasizes a shift from “belief systems” to “media Gnosticism,” where individuals use pattern recognition to identify engineered coincidences and predictive programming in popular media.10 Topics of Discussion* The Growth of Realville: Establishing a “colony” in Trutherville to directly confront “useful stooges” and “propaganda mules”.* The “Bloody Guardrail”: A term for the psychological inability of most “truthers” to entertain the idea that nobody died in major media events.* Conspiracy Theories as PSYOPs: The assertion that spreading fear-based alternative narratives is actually a form of psychological warfare.* The “Woketown” vs. “Trutherville” Duopoly: How the media divides the public into two extreme subsets that both operate within a closed informational system.* 9/11 “Hoax-aversary”: Plans to deconstruct the 2001 events through the lens of concurrent drills and CGI “video composite overlays”.* Metascriptors: Identifying figures like James Comey, Don DeLillo, and Christopher Nolan as individuals who seed future narratives into the public consciousness.* The 8647 Pattern: Analyzing the numerical link between James Comey's book release, seashell photos, and a vandalism event at the Lincoln Memorial.* The NASA “Mind Control” Budget: The theory that the space program's true purpose is to “program the space between your ears” rather than physical travel.* Subterranean Civilizations and Hyperloop: Speculation that modern tech like Elon Musk's Hyperloop is preparing the public for simulated space travel in underground bases.* Realville as a “Wood Chipper”: Using a predictable schedule and deprogramming courses to create a “marketplace disruption” and mass defection from controlled media.10 Key Quotes* “If you reach Alex Jonestown, you've gone a little too far.”* “Strategically... It doesn't make sense to kill people during the creation of propaganda films.”* “Every time you come in here and [tell] us to be afraid... you're in fact waging sciwar against us.”* “The beginning of wisdom... is to call things by their right names.”* “There are no false flags. Nobody's dying.”* “Truthers are like 20 years behind.”* “Belief is based on low information. Skepticism is high information.”* “The purpose of the space program is to program the space between your ears.”* “Resistance is futile... what are you going to do? ...mentally step outside of their system.”* “If you can't describe the architecture of the Truman Show, you're still in it.”Host Reading Audience Comments* Reading Dr. Bass Ackwards: “The government are just... Other people have changed their names wearing government costumes.”* Reading Armin: “The world stage offers each and everyone's own worst nightmare fantasy.”* Reading Truth Hurts: “...there's a new movie coming out called The Dog Stars, post-apocalyptic genre directed by Ridley Scott.”* Reading Plane: “If you start a new channel, will they demonetize it?”* Reading Suzanne Ann: “Michael Hoffman believes the moon landings were real.”You can also now find IPS on the following Podcast platforms:APPLE:SPOTIFY:YT MUSIC: This is a public episode.

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: International Skinny Dip Day, officially recognized by the American Association for Nude Recreation, has raised over $60,000 for the Fistula Foundation since 2019, funding surgery for about 96 women, with 571 participants at Blind Creek Nude Beach in Fort Pierce, Florida. In Rhode Island, Centerville Bank gave employees $100 gas gift cards, and many chose to donate them to Meals on Wheels to help cover fuel costs for its 26-car fleet. A 230-foot renewable-energy sailing yacht, Zero, launched in the Netherlands, using hydro generation, nearly 1,000 square feet of solar panels, wind power, and batteries to run up to two weeks. In Scotland, rescuers carried a sick Labrador, Tokyo, off a mountain; vets suspected cannabis edible ingestion.

In this episode, Jon and Adam explore why even the best-looking golf swings can still produce terrible shots—and why tiny changes at impact often matter more than what you can see on video. They break down the difference between “macro” swing mechanics and the micromechanics of strike, including how just a few millimeters of variation can turn a solid shot into a chunk or blade. They also discuss the “curse of the good ball striker,” where hitting more greens can actually make golfers feel worse about their putting because they're facing more long-range birdie attempts. Along the way, they explain why golfers should manage expectations, focus on what they can control, and accept that some variability and luck are unavoidable parts of the game.

By December she was warm all the way through, and that turned out not to be a good thing. The debts got consolidated, gently, so she wouldn't have to face the collectors. The account got managed, gently, so her money would be protected from her while she was still fragile. Walt's lawyer took the custody case for free, and it started to work — every step back toward her children running straight through him. Her sister called the house once and was told, kindly, that she needed space. Then a woman about sixty stopped her cart in the grocery store and said: count everything he does for you. One day he's going to hand you the bill. She defended him. Part 2 of 4.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

Have you ever made homemade bread with yeast? How much yeast do you put in with the flour and water? Just a tiny amount. How much of a difference does the yeast make? ALL THE DIFFERENCE. As Jesus was teaching, he knew everyone listening understood this because bread wasn’t something they picked up at the grocery store. It was made every day in their homes. The women especially knew exactly what He meant. They had watched a tiny handful of yeast disappear into a massive bowl of flour, only to come back hours later and find every bit of dough changed. So Jesus said… Matthew 13:33, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.” How much of the dough was affected by only a little yeast? EVERY PART OF IT. And how many of you have personally experienced the impact of little things over your entire life? Really, that’s all of us. Looking back, we see how little things changed the entire trajectory of our lives. Sometimes that can feel overwhelming because what if you mess up that one little thing that would make all the difference? Before you get all anxious about the enormity of this – please remember your life is under the divine direction of an all-knowing God, IF you surrender to his ability to guide you exactly where you need to be. Surrender is the key. Without surrender – you’re a bowl of flour sitting flat wondering why your life isn’t rising up. I wonder if you can see how in your own life some of your biggest blessings didn’t come from one big decision you made, but a combination of tiny turns left and right with split second perfect timing. Did you do that on your own? Oh no you didn’t girl. God was leaning over the rails of heaven, watching your life with great delight, aligning things you didn’t even know to ask for, and sprinkling in a little yeast to make his good plans for you grow. And as you grew, the angels cheered! Here’s our problem – when we don’t surrender. When we think we don’t need God because we can make our own plans, force our own way, and direct the timing of it all to fit our liking. We try to make our own yeast, but guess what – YOU CAN’T. Yeast has to come from a start. And you are not that start. GOD IS! Here’s what surrender really is. It’s opening your clenched fists and saying, “God, you have permission to work anywhere you want.” IT STARTS THERE!!!!! Most of us try to first hand God one part of our lives. “God, here’s my marriage, fix this. But, don’t touch my priorities. Don’t touch my habits. God, I just want you over here.” But Jesus says the yeast doesn’t stop at one corner of the dough. It permeates every part. God loves you too much to leave any part of your life untouched. If you invite him into your marriage, he will be there – but he will also go right for YOUR HEART. All while you just want him to work on your husband’s heart, he first starts with yours. You’ve been praying for your kids, and before he works on them, he works in YOU! Sometimes I wonder if my family’s 7 year journey to healing took so long because I was delaying the work in my heart first. Which part of your life have you been asking for God to take over? You know that one very well, don’t you? Now, let me ask – which part of your life have you been holding back from God? Yeah – that one. That one that you’ve been trying to hide or excuse or separate – God says, “I WANT TO GET ALL UP IN THAT TOO!!!!!” If you surrender your life to Him, He will begin working in places you didn’t even invite Him. But my sister, you can trust him. Remember, he is for you, not against you. His plans for you are to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) In this parable, notice what Jesus doesn’t say – He doesn’t say, “The Kingdom of God is like bread.” No, he said it’s “like yeast”. There’s a difference. Yeast gets INSIDE something before it changes anything on the outside. My mama taught me how to make homemade yeast rolls as a young girl. You get the water and milk temperature just right, then you sprinkle in the tiniest amount of yeast. And then you lean in real close and you watch. Guess what – Nothing happens. You ever so gently stir in the yeast. Still nothing happens. Then you let it sit for a bit. Still nothing. Next you add in the flour and create this messy sticky dough. Nothing looks radically different. But you come back an hour later and your little ball of dough has risen ten times in size to overflow the edges of your bowl. How did it happen? Gradually from the INSIDE. That is exactly opposite of how most of us try to change. We start with the outside. • I need to lose weight. • I need to stop yelling. • I need to stop cussing. • I need to be read my Bible more. • I need to get organized. • I need to stop shopping so much. So we try harder. Jesus says, “That’s not how My Kingdom works. I don’t start by changing your behavior. I start by changing your heart.” Everything else grows from there. He isn’t trying to improve your circumstances first. He’s trying to transform you. I really don’t think God cares about the size of your butt or the jiggle of your belly. He’s not impressed by that tiny little ab you’ve been working on. Your bank account isn’t his primary concern. HE IS GOING STRAIGHT FOR YOUR HEART. Why? Because the heart is the yeast. If he changes your heart, it will affect EVERYTHING!!!! But here’s the warning – YOUR ENEMY KNOWS THIS TOO! Your enemy knows if he can make you insecure, it will affect everything. If he can twist the way you feel about yourself, he can keep you in the corner. He knows if he infects the way you think about everyone else, he can render you bitter, cynical and ineffective. Bad yeast makes bad bread sis. Check what is growing in your life! Finally, notice there’s something specific Jesus mentions in this story. He says the woman mixed the yeast into 3 measures of flour. Anytime you see something this specific, take notice – it’s a deeper lesson. Here, 3 measures of flour means about 40 to 50 pounds of flour. This large amount of flour when mixed with a little bit of east would be enough to feed a hundred people. Why would Jesus mention that detail? Because the amount is intentionally extravagant. A tiny handful of yeast transforms an enormous amount of dough. That’s the Kingdom. One life surrendered to Jesus can influence far more people than you ever imagined. One praying Mama. One teacher. One girl in the office who shares a devotional. One friend who points a hurting soul to Jesus. That’s just one little bit of Kingdom yeast. AND IT GROWS and grows and grows. Bigger and bigger and bigger. Generations are changed as a result of one surrendered life. That’s yeast! And let me tell you something, I think God wants YOU to be that surrendered life. He wants to start with YOU. His Spirit at work within you, changing you from the inside out, starting with your heart then flowing onto every area of your life, every single relationship, in every way. Imagine one day arriving to Heaven and meeting a whole line of people waiting to tell you how YOU helped them get there too. How the Jesus in you was the light showing them the way. How what God grew in you flowed over onto them and grew in them. And because of your surrender, they learned surrender, their children learned surrender, their grandchildren surrendered – and now there’s an entire corner of Heaven crowded – and it started with ONE. And that my friends, is how the Kingdom of God is – It’s like yeast. Tiny, working in unseen ways from the inside, affecting EVERYTHING!

Tony sits down with Nick from Tackform (tackform.com) to dig into the world of rugged, vehicle-specific phone, tablet, radio, and device mounts built for Jeeps and serious off-road use.** Nick has been designing and producing phone and device mounts since 2012. The company started in the consumer space, expanded into motorcycles and commercial trucks, then pivoted hard into pickup trucks and SUVs—especially the Jeep community. They specialize in modular, all-metal systems using 20 mm (and larger 26-series) ball-and-socket arms, slim track and Assault Track (Picatinny-style) dash brackets, MagSafe/magnetic holders, spring cradles, and wireless charging options. ### Key topics covered - Why vent mounts and suction cups fail hard on Jeeps (and why solid, no-drill OEM-hole solutions matter) - Building custom dash kits for Gladiator, JL, JK, and working backward toward TJ/YJ/XJ - Wireless inductive charging cradles (including their new 25-watt version with Peltier cooling plate to fight heat) - Magnetic mounts for GMRS handhelds and Midland MXT series mics - Starlink mounting options (and why the 26-series ball is better for the heavier load) - Load ratings, vibration control, billet CNC aluminum vs. injection-molded parts, and why they constantly iterate - Funny customer requests and the realities of scanning new vehicles for perfect fitment - The modular "Lego" ecosystem that lets you mix phone holders, radios, switch panels, and cameras Nick walks through how Tackform approaches engineering for real-world abuse, why they prefer billet for many Jeep brackets (easier to iterate), and the challenges of getting hands on brand-new vehicles for scanning and prototyping. **Check out the full lineup and build your own kit at:** **https://www.tackform.com** Find them on Instagram (tackform.systems / @tackform), Facebook, and their YouTube channel for install videos. 00:00 Show Opening and Guest Introduction 01:17 Phone Mount Market and CarPlay Subscription Issues 03:03 Developing Wireless Charging Phone Mounts 04:29 Configurable Dash Kit Builder Overview 05:34 Custom Power Wiring and Hidden Installation 06:39 OEM Mounting Points and Integrated Power Ports 08:13 Jeep Modification Culture and Device Mounting Trends 09:13 Starlink Mount Solutions for Jeeps 11:01 Ball-and-Socket Mount Architecture and Load Limits 13:53 GMRS/CB Radio Mounts and Magnetic Attachments 15:43 Product Development Process and Continuous Innovation 17:17 Gathering and Evaluating Unusual Product Ideas 17:49 Creative and Quirky Mount Ideas 18:45 Safety Limits for Mount Extensions and Airbag Zones 19:19 Vehicle Acquisition, Scanning, and Prototype Timeline 21:51 Vibration Management and Material Rigidity in Mount Design 22:56 Testing Deflection and Vibration on Plastic Tray Mounts 24:04 Engineering Specificity and Design Optimization 24:44 Balancing Design Complexity and User Needs 25:22 Material Choice: Billet vs Injection Molding and Iterative Design 26:49 CNC Machining vs Tooling: Cost and Volume Trade‑offs 28:44 Aesthetic Design and Billet Manufacturing Appeal 29:40 Adapting to New Vehicle Models and Resource Constraints 32:10 Vehicle Scanning Process and Development Cycle 34:20 Community Involvement and Simplified Kit Options 35:09 Customer Commitment and Apology 35:57 Highlighting Best‑Selling Phone Holder Products 37:23 Wireless Charging Cradle with Peltier Cooling 39:08 Phone Overheating, Wireless Charging, and Shade Solutions 40:53 Inductive Charging in Autonomous Vehicles and Future Outlook 42:27 Future of Vehicle Mounts, Subscriptions, and Emerging Technologies 43:46 Tech Evolution and Subscription Model Critique 44:16 Overview of Best‑Selling Products and Product Range 44:55 Grab Handle Mounts and Product Variety 45:26 Manufacturing Capabilities and Equipment Flexibility 46:17 Managing Overseas Suppliers and Quality Control 47:05 Automation Costs and Custom Manufacturing in the US 49:14 US Manufacturing Facilities and Automation Examples 50:03 Plans for Behind‑the‑Scenes Video Content 54:54 Closing Remarks and Appreciation Tackform All Metal Dash Mount Phone Holder Compatible with 2024–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL, 4xe & Gladiator JT https://www.amazon.com/Tackform-Metal-Mount-Holder-Compatible/dp/B0DKB1MYWY Tackform TRAXX Slim Track / Assault Track Dash Mounts (MagSafe options) for JL & Gladiator https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Tackform+TRAXX+Jeep Tackform Link Grab Handle / A-Pillar Mount with Magnetic Phone Holder for JL & Gladiator https://www.amazon.com/Tackform-Handle-Pillar-Magnetic-Holder/dp/B0DY2LV7MG Tackform Magnetic CB / GMRS Microphone Holders and related Jeep dash kits https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Tackform+Jeep+mount Visit our website: https://jeeptalkshow.com/ Watch/Listen on Spotify https://jeeptalkshow.com/spotify Join our Discord Server: https://jeeptalkshow.com/discord Subscribe to our newsletter: https://jeeptalkshow.com/newsletter Help Support the show via Patreon: https://jeeptalkshow.com/patreon

That "fake it till you make it" strategy paid off. Bespoke landed Narita Airport as a customer based on the strength of their "chatbot" answers, and now the team runs three companies, and is expanding into shipyard robots. In the fourth and final edition of TWiST Tokyo for Summer '26, Jason and Akemi discuss her thesis: "solve the labor gap first, [then] build the tech to math." Plus insights into Japan's tourism boom, how founders should consider the country's accelerating population decline, the economics and politics of importing foreign labor, and why AI may already be taking over more jobs than you think.
