Don Ross is the founder of Manhood Tribes, a former pastor of 20 years who now works in digital marketing and has spent over two decades helping men cut through the noise around masculinity and build real brotherhood. Married 22 years with two boys, he's built his work around five marks of manhood and, more recently, helping men prepare for what he believes are the biblical end times. This is a unique episode. Don walks Larry through the specific signs he sees converging right now, the nation of Israel and the temple, the move toward digital currency, and the gospel reaching every ethnic group, then pivots to what actually matters for the average man: building community, growing real-world skills, and developing a genuine relationship with Jesus rather than just checking religious boxes. If you've felt the anxiety of scrolling the news and wondered how to lead your family through uncertain times, this conversation offers a grounded, faith-centered answer.   Timeline Summary [3:29] – How close are we to the end times, and what that phrase actually means [5:28] – Why the anxiety men feel scrolling their phones connects to the bigger picture [7:33] – The specific signs happening now that are unique in human history [9:05] – Introducing Don Ross, Manhood Tribes, and the epidemic of male loneliness [12:35] – The Euphrates River drying up as a minor sign [13:29] – Israel reestablished as a nation in 1948 and the Ezekiel dry bones prophecy [15:10] – The Temple Institute, the red heifer, and preparations for a third temple [20:41] – Why the dome of the Rock and secular Israeli politics have stalled the temple [25:05] – Global commerce, the mark of the beast, and central bank digital currencies [29:23] – How state-controlled currency mirrors China's social credit system [32:29] – The third and more hopeful sign: the gospel reaching every ethnic group by 2033 [35:27] – Why the decline of masculinity collides with this moment in history [37:13] – Larry on feeling spiritually ready but not practically prepared [44:05] – What Covid revealed about government control, framed carefully as speculation [48:39] – Why building a bunker is the wrong first step [50:34] – The five marks of manhood: strength, courage, skill, honor, and allegiance [51:34] – Monthly challenges, from cold showers to learning vehicle maintenance [54:20] – The spiritual anchor and connecting relationally to Jesus [56:56] – Knowing Jesus as a person, not just checking the church and Bible boxes [1:03:44] – Larry's hike through Garden of the Gods and the decision that brought him peace   5 Key Takeaways Watch the Season, Not the Date — The instruction was never to predict the day, but to recognize the season and be ready. Don points to several signs converging at once as reason to pay attention rather than panic. Loneliness Is a Crisis, and Community Is the Answer — Most men believe they have to figure life out alone, and the isolation is at an all time high. Real brotherhood is what helps men survive hardship and become better husbands and fathers. Don't Build a Bunker, Build a Community — The prepper instinct is individualistic, but the biblical model is to love your neighbor as yourself. The right next step is building strong community that can support each other through any storm. Grow Real Skills as a Man — Strength, courage, skill, honor, and allegiance are traits you develop over a lifetime. Practical challenges like cold showers or basic vehicle maintenance build the grit and capability most modern men have lost. Know Jesus as a Person — Faith isn't just going to church, reading the Bible, and praying as a checklist. It's a relationship built through conversation, listening, and shared experience, the same way you'd cultivate connection with a spouse.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1523 Manhood Tribes on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ManhoodTribes Roommates to Soulmates (cohort 3, starts September 16, free preview calls September 8 and 9): https://thedadedge.com/soulmates Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals (November 15, Cardinals vs Rams, State Farm Stadium): https://thedadedge.com/nfl The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood by Larry Hagner: https://thedadedge.com   Enjoyed This Episode?

Dean Cheng, co-host Gordon Chang: Cheng analyzes China's space program and its pursuit of reusable booster technology to match SpaceX's cost-saving launch cadences. Although China has successfully recaptured first-stage boosters, it has not yet demonstrated refurbishing or reusing them. Cheng notes that China seeks space dominance to deploy six mega-constellations and establish moon colonies. He suggests that a delay in China's lunar south pole probe—officially blamed on solar exposure—is likely due to the ongoing accident investigation of the Long March 7 rocket failure. Cheng predicts a Chinese astronaut will walk on the moon by December 31, 2030. (6)

Note: Much of the content in this podcast can be found in show participant Ross Anderson's book Understanding the Book of MormonThe Book of Mormon claims to be an ancient scripture that tells the story of God's people in the American continent.LDS challenge: “Either the Book of Mormon is what the Prophet Joseph said it is, or this Church and its founder are false, a deception from the first instance onward…Joseph must be accepted either as a prophet of God or else as a charlatan of the first order…” (Jeffrey R. Holland, “Christ and the New Covenant,” quoted in Ensign, September 2002, 14)To accept BoM is to accept JS as a prophet, and everything that he stands for.The Book of Mormon claims can be / should be tested. 1 Thess 5:21 “Test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.”ArchaeologyBoM claims to be an ancient record of American continentFeaturing great cities, people at warArchaeology has failed to unearth any concrete evidence for BoMInscriptional evidence → names carved into stone monumentsExample: Sennacherib / Assyrians = names of Israel's kingsNo BoM name every foundMaterial remains → walls / foundations of ancient citiesPlenty of ancient cities in America, but none that can be linked to BoMExample: BoM describes its people using gold, silver, iron, brass, copperThe mining, smelting, and casting of metal ores requires special tools / complex processes which leave traces in the archaeological recordScholars generally agree: metallurgy not introduced into America until several centuries after the BoM story endsAnimals → BoM mentions many different kinds of animals: cattle, sheep, goats, horsesNone have been found in any archaeological setting dating to BoM timesUnlike deer, jaguar, peccary, tapir, other native speciesThe horse have never been found depicted in any of 1000s of sample of artNew world archaeology is still a young sciencePerhaps some day some artifact or inscription will be found to validate the BoMBut so far, best LDS apologists can do = create aura of plausibility based on vague similaritiesBy contrast, archaeology has repeatedly demonstrated the reliability of Bible: historically / geographicallyUse of metals as describe in Bible can be verified at many sitesA person can visit the actual cities where Bible describes Jesus or Paul travellingBritish Museum (London)Massive stone panels from ancient Ninevah → cities in Bible are recorded thereEvidence for the reliability of the Bible: “Three Reasons to Trust the Bible”DNATraditional LDS understanding - based on BoM story → native Americans are descended from ancient Jews who left Jerusalem for America around 600 BCThis is what JS taught → the most straightforward way to read the BoM textMainstream science → all native Americans are of Asian originSupported by extensive DNA sampling of American Indian populationsMany current LDS scholars claim that most NA's are of Asian descentWhile a small subset are of Semitic origin, descended from LehiIdea is = Nephite & Lamanite civilizations described in BoM made up a very small % of total population of New World during BoM timesLDS Church has acknowledged the challenges1981 BoM: identifies Lamanites as “the principle ancestors of the American Indians”2006 BoM: Lamanites “are among the ancestors of the American Indians”If BoM peoples were not alone in the Americas, it's very surprising that BoM never mentions these large populations of other peopleIn fact, no references to other peoples or nations, no accounts of Nephites evangelizing pagans, no polemics vs polytheism, idolatry, etc.LDS Church Gospel Topics Essay: Book of Mormon and DNA StudiesBible PlagiarismBoM contains extensive material in common with the BibleFirst type of shared content = simple repetition or direct quotationIncluding frequent phrases such as “it came to pass” and “verily, verily I say unto you”Second type = interpretive changes to a biblical text2 Nephi 2:18 expands on the biblical account of Eve's temptation (Gen 3:4-5)Third type = structural parallels to the BibleIncludes literary forms, common motifs, character types, etcConversion of Alma (Mos 27) has many features in common with Paul's conversion (Acts 9)Point: in many cases, Nephite writers mimic wording from the NTA doc to which they would have had no access.All of this shared content raises the Q: does common material come from independent sources?Or did JS simply copy from the Bible?Case 1 = the Sermon on the MountJesus appears in BoM - apparently in 40 days after resurrection prior to ascensionHis public address in 3 Nephi 12-14 contains much in common with Matt 5-7Case 2 = BoM contains more than 19 complete chapters in common w/IsaiahLehi's people carried a copy of OT scriptures with them → source of quoted materialSeveral lines of evidence suggest JS derived the Isaiah passages directly from KJV rather than an ancient sourceExample: biblical scholarship has advanced since KJV translationMany passages that were obscure in KJV in JS time are now more clearBut some of the misunderstandings found in the KJV are also found in BoMSuggests a direct relationship between KJV / BoMWould not have been present in BoM's quotes of Isaiah if the Isaiah text had originated in Lehi's time, as the story claimsHow would translation problems from KJV find their way into BoM?The extensive content shared between KJV & BoM - and the nature of the parallels - creates strong impression that BoM was produced AFTER the KJVOf course, LDS apologists have answers for all of these objectionsThe question is whether their answers are credibleFor loyal Mormons, the answers are convincing because they already have an existing commitment to the BoMOthers, without that grid, are not convinced that BoM passes the test--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

The inalienable right to "the pursuit of happiness" is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, but what exactly does that phrase mean? While Americans today may associate it with the right to own land, opulence or some other act of acquisition, many prominent founders understood it to mean something quite different. In this episode National Constitution Center President & CEO Jeffrey Rosen returns to the show to give us the full story and discuss his new book The Pursuit of Happiness: How Classical Writers on Virtue Inspired the Lives of the Founders and Defined America.   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to check out Jeffrey's other appearances on our show in episodes 211 and 350.   Highlighted Resources from the National Constitution Center –The Interactive Constitution (also available as an app in the apple and android app stores) –We The People with Jeffrey Rosen podcast (available anywhere you get The Road to Now) –Educational Video Series If you're in Philadelphia, you can visit the National Constitution Center, which is located just steps from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.

In this Back to School episode, we sit down with Cameron Mortenson of The Fiberglass Manifesto to talk through fly rods from the ground up: line weight, length, action, budget, purpose, fiberglass versus graphite, and why the right rod is more than just a price tag or a cool color. Cameron has spent nearly eighteen years writing about fiberglass fly rods, rod builders, makers, and the small details that shape the way a rod fishes. We also talk about choosing rods for trout, bass, saltwater, small streams, streamers, dry flies, and destination trips; when custom rods make sense; why line choice can completely change how a rod feels; and why the best anglers tend to care about both the archer and the arrow.

In part two of the Back to School mini-series, I sit down with Austin Orr of Elevate Fly Casting to talk about casting as a real craft, not just something you “figure out” by spending time on the water. Austin is a full-time casting instructor and certified instructor through Fly Fishers International. We get into what beginners need to feel first, why most casters try too hard, how instruction should be built one piece at a time, and what it takes to prepare for real fishing situations where the shot matters. This conversation covers casting triage, loop control, double hauling, fishing under pressure, saltwater sight-casting, how often to practice, what to do if you cannot afford instruction, and why the work should happen before you step onto the bow with a guide calling out fish.

I almost didn't record this episode.Not this topic but an episode, like, at all. I looked at my Buzzsprout stats, watched the downloads trending down instead of up, and my brain immediately said, "nobody cares what you have to say, you're not good enough, just quit."So naturally, I went and got real honest with you instead.This episode is a string of confessions. I'm talking tofu, vanilla ice cream, the occult (yes, really), thigh rub, and why I have exactly two people on the list of "who actually knows me." Buckle up, friend.Here's what we get into:The moment my husband asked me a question that cracked something open in me (again)Why I've been playing "vanilla ice cream" — palatable, appealing to everyone, memorable to no one — and how that shows up in my business, my faith, and my body.The Bible study confession that took me from "does anyone have announcements?" to a full on confession.Why I never talk publicly about weight loss and what junior high bullying has to do with it.What happened when I launched The Pursuit and got crickets instead of a Taylor Swift level sell-out moment (and why I'm telling you that instead of hiding it).The reframe that's changing everything for me.Why I'd rather get rejected for being fully myself than accepted for being palatable.If you've ever caught yourself shrinking a part of who you are so nobody has a hard feeling about it, this one's for you.

Seven people lost their lives in the early hours of Saturday 22 August 2026 when a Volkswagen Passat travelling the wrong way along the A66 at South Bank, near Middlesbrough, collided head-on with a marked Cleveland Police armed response vehicle.Among those who died were Cleveland Police officers PC Matthew Blades, 37, and PC Tom Clough, 38, along with the five occupants of the Passat.In this episode, former detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine what is currently known about the tragedy while recognising that the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision is still at an early stage.Tom explains how police pursuits are controlled, why a pursuit can be abandoned when the danger becomes too great, and the specialist training required to drive police vehicles at high speed.Simon and Tom also reflect on incidents from their own police careers which brought home the risks faced by officers on the road.Simon recalls the 1994 death of Strathclyde Police officer PC Stuart Simpson, who was killed when his police vehicle was struck head-on by a car travelling the wrong way on the M8.Tom remembers losing two traffic officers while he was an acting divisional commander in West Lothian — and the devastating experience of personally going to the home of one of the officers to tell his wife that her husband had died.The conversation also examines:how police vehicle pursuits are managed and terminated;the highly specialised training of police traffic drivers;the role of Armed Response Vehicles in British policing;why most British police officers continue to patrol without firearms;the impact that the death of colleagues can have on a close-knit police force;and the support needed by officers and other emergency workers who attend traumatic scenes.The circumstances leading to the A66 collision are being investigated by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). Tom and Simon therefore distinguish between what is known and the questions that remain unanswered.00:00 — Cold Open00:50 — The A66 tragedy: seven people killed02:43 — How police pursuits are controlled and called off06:36 — What we know about the A66 collision08:41 — Simon remembers PC Stuart Simpson and the 1994 M8 tragedy10:35 — Tom recalls losing two traffic officers in West Lothian15:41 — How road policing departments operate17:28 — The specialist training of high-speed police drivers20:47 — What is an Armed Response Vehicle?25:04 — Why most British police officers remain unarmed25:52 — The unanswered social-media question26:37 — Closing thoughtsCrime Time Inc. — Real cases.

What separates a well-run rental business from an average one?In this episode, recorded live at the American Rental Association Show in Orlando, Michael Larsen is joined by Norty Turner, President and CEO of Sunstate Equipment, for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership, culture, operational excellence and building a business that can scale without losing its identity.Norty reflects on his 30-year rental career, which began behind the counter at Hertz Equipment Rental and later took him into leadership roles across the United States, Europe, the Middle East and India. He shares how those experiences shaped his leadership style and taught him the importance of listening, cultural awareness and creating an environment where people feel safe to challenge ideas.The conversation explores what Norty looks for when visiting a rental branch, from the condition of the ready line to the urgency and purpose with which employees move through the rental cycle. He explains why the fundamentals of rental remain remarkably consistent and how Sunstate is improving its most important operational processes using lean principles.Norty also discusses why most operational improvement programs fail when they are imposed from the top down. Rather than telling branch teams how to work, Sunstate involves the people performing each process in designing the solution, creating genuine ownership and a culture of continuous improvement.They examine the customer expectations every rental company must consistently deliver: safety, availability, on-time delivery and pickup, equipment uptime, accurate invoicing and technology that improves productivity.Throughout the episode, Norty returns to Sunstate's people-first foundation, inspired by founder Mike Watts' belief that employees should be treated with care and respect. He shares his ambition to preserve that legacy while also developing a high-performing culture where people achieve more than they believed possible.The conversation concludes with lessons from Norty's climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, including the Swahili principle of pole pole—moving steadily, one step at a time, supporting those around you and enjoying the journey along the way.This episode is essential listening for rental leaders seeking to strengthen their culture, improve branch performance and turn a long-term vision into consistent daily execution.

Dan Donovan, founding publisher of Ottawa Life magazine, examines CBC's coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict and rising antisemitism in Canada. He argues that CBC's editorial directive prohibiting reporters from calling Hamas a terrorist organization represents a fundamental betrayal of journalistic standards.

“There's a sweetness in Advaita non-dual teachings, right? There is this emphasis on the truth of freedom and...eternal, the eternal ever-present You. I mean, how sweet is that?” - Robbie Chesick Today I share a candid and reflective conversation with Robbie Chesick. Robbie is a lifelong meditator, by nature tropic to tuning into the hum of pure existence at the base of her sense of self. She is also a (recently retired) trauma therapist, a mom, a lazy poet, and a curious wanderer.We discuss meditation, nonduality, feminism, and how spiritual practice meets ordinary life. How can inquiry cut through the conditioning, politics, and ego? It's a delightful and light hearted conversation about the real "stuff" we deal with as humans just navigating our way. Robbie gives great insight into the approach and pursuit of the yogi from her 35 years of sadhana. Key topics: Satsang and the essential shared space of spiritual inquiry.Early questions about identity, the self, and what lies beyond surface reality.Robbie shares her formative journey in her early twenties, including travel through India, illness, danger, and the eventual decision to come to her brother and meet Swamiji.How spiritual realization can coexist with family life, work, parenting, and a public-facing life in the world.Inquiry should be applied everywhere, not only in meditation, and that the mind's habit of either-or thinking can obscure more nuanced, intelligent action.The pressure to conform to tribal thinking, especially in wellness and yoga circles, and how fear of rejection can shape beliefs and behaviour.The forest wanderer phase of life reframed. Robbie distinguishes pure existence from personal identity, emphasizing that the goal is not to become anything other than what you are.I absolutely loved this conversation with Robbie, a wise friend and courageous yogi. She gives me inspiration to keep steadfast on this path as I meet and greet the many phases of life. I know she will give you something to consider as well in this thoughtful satsang space. In oneness, Bobbi Thanks for listening! 

Pursuit isn't a personality trait, it's a skill. And so is being pursued.Too many Christian singles think one person should do all the work while the other just waits to be chosen, but healthy relationships aren't built on passivity. They're built on intentionality from both people.In this episode, we're breaking down what it actually looks like to pursue someone well and what it means to receive pursuit without playing games, sending mixed signals, or disappearing into passivity.Whether you're the one asking someone out or the one deciding whether to say yes, this conversation is packed with practical advice to help you date with clarity and confidence.We'll talk about:The five biggest mistakes men make when pursuing a womanHow women can encourage pursuit without chasingWhy “playing hard to get” usually backfiresWhat healthy leadership actually looks like in datingHow to show interest without sacrificing your dignityWhen it's time to define the relationshipWhether women should ever make the first moveIf the guy should always pay for the dateHow to know when pursuit becomes pressureWhat to do when someone pursues you well… but there's no sparkWhether you owe someone an honest “no” instead of fading awayThis episode isn't about dating games, it's about learning the practical skills that lead to healthy relationships, strong marriages, and dating with intention.Because how you date is often how you'll marry.Let's talk about it

Can you genuinely love Jesus and still feel stuck? Yes—and admitting it isn't failure. It may be where freedom begins.In Week 1 of The Pursuit of Freedom, Pastor Clint Lamberth teaches from Luke 4:18–21, where Jesus announces that He came to set captives free. But some prisons don't have bars. They can look like shame you can't shake, fear that controls your decisions, anger, unforgiveness, unhealthy habits, a need for approval, or wounds caused by what someone else did to you.Jesus didn't come simply to make bad people behave. He came to rescue people who cannot rescue themselves.In this message, you'll discover:Why you can love Jesus and still struggle to live freelyHow hidden chains can quietly control your lifeWhy willpower alone cannot produce lasting freedomHow honesty with God becomes the beginning of healingWhy Jesus—not better behavior—is the source of true freedomTake a moment and ask yourself:What have I been calling normal that Jesus may be calling captivity?What's still holding me back from living free?If this message encouraged you, leave a comment, share it with someone who needs it, and subscribe for more messages from Oasis Church.

No food on this planet's going to fix your progesterone, and estrogen dominance is not nearly as simple as the word makes it sound.I know, I know. That's a lot to hit you with in one sentence. But I needed to say it before we even got started, because these two things get more misinformation thrown at them than almost anything else in the hormone space.That's exactly why I brought my friend Dr. Heather Rhodes on the podcast this week: she and I both get the same questions over and over in our practices, and we're both so tired of watching women chase quick fixes that were never going to work in the first place. So we sat down and answered your biggest hormone questions, no fluff, no clickbait, just the actual truth about what's going on in your body. We're covering estrogen dominance, progesterone production, the "no time to balance my hormones" excuse, and what actually moves the needle when it comes to feeling good in your body again.Fair warning: we are busting a few myths in this one, including one that might make you side-eye your favorite wellness influencer just a little.Here's what we get into:The mindset trap behind "I don't have time to balance my hormones" and why your brain might be the one keeping you stuckThe blunt truth about whether food alone can raise your progesterone (spoiler, it's more complicated than any reel will tell you)The sneaky reason your labs keep coming back "normal" even though you feel like a completely different person for two weeks a monthFour (maybe five) totally different reasons you could be dealing with estrogen dominance symptoms, and why treating all of them the same way can backfireWhy going back to basics, not adding more supplements or more rules, is usually where the biggest shifts happenA mindset shift Heather shares about what your symptoms are actually trying to tell you, and why hearing it might change how you see your whole cycleLet's start with time, because I think almost every woman I know says some version of "I just don't have time for this." Heather made a point that stuck with me. If your brain is locked onto the belief that you don't have enough time, that is exactly what it's going to keep proving true. And being stretched that thin, having everyone need a piece of you all day long, can literally be part of what's throwing your hormones off to begin with.Here's the part that surprised me though. You're already eating. You're already making food choices every single day. You're probably already moving your body in some way. The work isn't necessarily adding more to your plate; it's getting more intentional about what you're already doing. Heather said something to a client once that I think about constantly: "You didn't need to go back to the basics. You were already doing the basics. You just weren't very good at them yet." Ouch. But also, kind of a relief.Then we got into progesterone, and this is where I need you to sit down for a second. That reel telling you "eat these foods to boost progesterone" is oversimplified; Heather flat out says there are no foods that increase progesterone. None. You could eat three buckets of ashwagandha a day (please don't), and if your nervous system doesn't feel safe, your body still isn't going to prioritize making more of it. Your progesterone being low is a signal, not a supplement deficiency. It could be stress, it could be undereating, it could be your body simply not feeling safe enough to ovulate well. Nutrition matters, don't get me wrong, but it's a piece of a much bigger picture.And can we talk about estrogen dominance for a second? Because I feel like every woman I know has self-diagnosed this one at some point, myself included. Here's the thing that Heather broke down so well. You could have all the classic "high estrogen" symptoms and actually have low estrogen that's just not clearing properly. You could have symptoms because you're not ovulating at all, which means estrogen is the only hormone showing up, even if your levels are technically low. You could be dealing with estrogen mimickers from your environment, your skincare, your food containers, or your job if you work in a salon. There are at least four, maybe five, completely different roots that can all look identical on the surface. That's exactly why grabbing an estrogen blocker off the internet without knowing your actual cause can leave you worse off than when you started.I know this can feel like a lot. Heather made a comment that made me laugh because it's so true: your brain will absolutely convince you that fixing this is going to take way more time and effort than it actually will. But once you know your starting point, the changes are usually smaller and simpler than you think. One of my favorite moments in this episode is when we talk about seeing your symptoms as your body talking to you instead of your body being broken or working against you. That shift alone changes how you show up for yourself every single day.If you've been spinning your wheels trying every protocol on the internet and nothing sticks, this episode will help you understand why and give you a clearer starting point than another list of foods to eat.Press play and let's figure out what your body's actually been trying to tell you this whole time.CONNECT WITH DR.

Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled his vision for an AI-powered utopia that mostly boils down to "trust humanity to do the right thing," which is a bold statement from the guy whose $300 million yacht apparently couldn't hear a Coast Guard distress call from a stranded family. Elsewhere, an AI agent booked a gym class by exploiting a security hole and kicking someone else off the waitlist, because nothing says "personal assistant" like accidental cybercrime. The EU is now requiring labels on realistic AI generated content, China is breaking up people and their chatbot companions, and OpenAI reportedly has achieved the ultimate AI ethics breakthrough: having no dedicated ethicist.The surveillance dystopia is also picking up speed. Flock tried to turn hundreds of thousands of rideshare and delivery drivers into a roving army of license-plate snitches, while every Flock camera in one Minnesota city was promptly sawed down and stolen. Meta's smart glasses continue their transformation into the preferred accessory of creeps and pickup-artist assholes, prompting pubs and other venues to ban them outright. Researchers found those glasses being used to secretly record and harass women, proving once again that every shiny new piece of wearable technology eventually gets repurposed as a tool for human depravity. And because apparently your car dashboard wasn't already commercial enough, BMW is now putting Spider-Man ads on the screens you paid tens of thousands of dollars to own.Finally, Apple is facing a class-action lawsuit over an iCloud Private Relay flaw that can expose your supposedly private IP address, Anthropic is watermarking Claude-generated text, SpaceXAI is taking another year to remove a pile of unpermitted gas turbines, and somebody is apparently stealing millions of dollars in AI hardware straight off California highways. We also hit Media Candy with Strange New Worlds, Silo, Broadchurch, Ted Lasso, and The X-Files, sweat through yet another Apple Fitness disaster, celebrate the sweet relief of escaping Spark, and ask the eternal Gen-X question: how did all this technology supposedly make life easier when we're still just sitting here surrounded by 47 goddamn tabs?Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

This is a Wednesday Wins Q&A, with Larry joined by his longtime co-host Joe Bailey to tackle a question that lands for almost every married dad. Mike from Washington State wrote in about a marriage that isn't broken, no fighting, no affairs, but feels more like two coworkers running a small company called the family. He and his wife talk schedules, kids, and bills, physical intimacy has slowed, and as he puts it, he misses her even though she's only six feet away. Larry breaks down the four pillars of marriage from Lance and Brandi's work, individual, partnership, friends, and intimacy, and explains how couples get stuck in the partnership loop and skip straight to intimacy, which backfires. Joe follows with the idea of getting used to the light again after emotional disconnection, releasing resentment, and making small pursuits without attaching expectations.

When you neglect self-care, friendship, and quality time and jump straight to intimacy, it falls flat. Intimacy is the natural result of the other three working. Escape the Partnership Loop — If every conversation is about schedules, bills, and who needs to be where, you're stuck in the partnership loop. Break out by rebuilding the friendship: dates, walks, adventures, and conversations where you're a couple, not just co-parents. Get Used to the Light Again — After emotional disconnection, reconnecting feels awkward and uncomfortable for both people. Expect that, release resentment about it, and don't attach worst-case scenarios to the discomfort. Make Small Pursuits Without Agenda — Drop off flowers just because, and don't attach any expectation of sex, because she'll sniff that out instantly. Stop keeping score and keep making small investments, and the connection compounds over time. We Love What We Invest In — Don't wait to feel the love before you invest. As the car story shows, investment creates love, not the other way around. Love your wife publicly and without agenda, and let her people, especially her mother, become your allies.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1516 Legendary Couple with Larry and Jessica: https://thedadedge.com/legendary-couple/ Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals (November 15, Cardinals vs Rams, State Farm Stadium): https://thedadedge.com/nfl   Enjoyed This Episode?
