Podcasts about Raz

Jake's sick, Raz is recovered, and karma is real — so we kept it loose and answered your questions from the Discord this week. We get into whether Apex hitting all-time-high player counts means anything for a Warzone comeback (short version: Warzone is the abusive ex who shows up with roses), why Zelda is a children's game, the most overrated franchises in gaming, when a game stops being a game and becomes a simulator (Tarkov vs. Squad vs. Hell Let Loose), whether AI will let you build GTA 6 in one prompt, the hardest gaming achievements we've ever earned, and a pile of off-topic chaos — first jobs, childhood cereal, the one-hair-on-your-steak test, and which historical event we'd go witness. Plus: a new development on splitting donations, the DMZ deep-dive over on Patreon, and a behind-the-scenes look at how the show actually gets made now. Got a question for us? Join the Discord (linked everywhere) and drop it in the Q&A channel. We may or may not answer it. Jake's the optimist, Raz is the cynic — guess which one of us thinks Warzone could still be saved. 0:00 - Intro (Jake's sick, karma is real) 3:03 - New: splitting donations 50/50 with Jake 4:02 - Patreon + the DMZ deep-dive 9:17 - Best life advice you've gotten 9:43 - 'Tell the truth, or at least don't lie' 14:03 - Just start — stop making the perfect plan 15:49 - Our first jobs 21:29 - Does Apex's comeback mean hope for Warzone? 23:01 - Warzone is the abusive ex 23:52 - How the rebranded show is going + the AI workflow 26:42 - Selling your old CoD-era Dropshot merch 28:05 - When does a game become a simulator? 31:23 - Would you play a good new Call of Duty? 32:17 - It's all a tax write-off now 33:52 - How we approach open-world games 37:32 - Did you beat Radahn before the nerf? 41:14 - Our most interesting use of AI (this podcast) 44:05 - Claude's Fable 5 + the gov't shutting it down 45:47 - If AI could build any AAA game, what would it be? 49:17 - Most overrated game & movie franchises 51:16 - Zelda is a children's game (hot take) 56:01 - Most useless & most useful real-life skill 57:48 - Hardest gaming achievement (Hearthstone Legend) 1:06:28 - A food that reminds you of childhood 1:10:21 - One app you'd keep on your phone 1:12:16 - Worst restaurant experience + picky eaters 1:18:44 - The one-hair-on-your-steak test 1:24:51 - Weirdest thing you've ever Googled 1:29:15 - A historical event you'd witness 1:36:32 - Ranking awkward social situations 1:39:00 - A historical figure to have dinner with 1:44:17 - Followers you'd rather have 1:44:45 - Hardest game you've ever finished 1:47:18 - Outro + peripherals _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.

Tudo que você precisa saber sobre a eleição na Colômbia | Rodrigo Vianna | Programa 20 MinutosNeste episódio do Programa 20 Minutos com Rodrigo Vianna, vamos mergulhar na turbulenta reta final da campanha colombiana. A primeira volta realizada no domingo passado terminou com a vitória surpreendente do ultradireitista Abelardo de la Espriella (43,74%), um "outsider" admirador de Trump e Bukele, que promete "mão de ferro" contra o crime organizado, deixando o esquerdista Iván Cepeda (40,90%) na segunda posição e forçando um segundo turno brutal para 21 de junho . O atual presidente Gustavo Petro, aliado de Cepeda, acionou o alerta vermelho ao recusar o reconhecimento do resultado, denunciando um suposto "fraude" massivo no software de contagem e no censo eleitoral, com diferenças de mais de 800 mil cédulas . No entanto, a Missão da União Europeia e observadores internacionais rejeitaram veementemente as alegações de manipulação, atestando a lisura e transparência do pleito. Rodrigo Vianna destrincha os números, as alianças de Paloma Valencia que podem dar a vitória à direita, e o que está em jogo para a América Latina neste que pode ser o fim do ciclo progressista no país .#EleiçõesColombia #Petro #RodrigoVianna #PolíticaInternacional #Programa20Minutos

O que está por trás das novas ameaças de Trump ao Brasil? | Deborah Magagna | Programa 20 MinutosA escalada da tensão entre Washington e Brasília atingiu um novo patamar com a proposta dos Estados Unidos de impor tarifas de 25% sobre produtos brasileiros, mas o verdadeiro campo de batalha parece ser a soberania financeira nacional . Neste episódio do "Programa 20 Minutos", a convidada Deborah Magagna mergulha nas camadas ocultas por trás das recentes provocações de Donald Trump. Enquanto o governo Lula classifica a movimentação como sabotagem eleitoral patrocinada pela oposição, uma investigação do USTR mira o PIX como prática comercial abusiva, levantando o alerta máximo: os EUA estão declarando guerra ao sistema de pagamentos instantâneos que se tornou símbolo da autonomia brasileira?  A análise vai além das manchetes para revelar como a visita relâmpago de Flávio Bolsonaro a Washington e a subsequente decisão de taxar o agro brasileiro podem ter sido orquestradas para interferir diretamente no pleito de outubro, oferecendo a Lula um trunfo nacionalista inesperado em ano eleitoral .#Geopolítica #BrasilEUA #PIX #Eleições2026 #SoberaniaNacional

Esta Canción se la compuse a mi Padre, porque a los 30 Años de Edad entendí que mi padre tenía Razón. Pero cuando cumplí 40 Años empecé a extrañar Cada momento que viví de niño con él. Y este es el sentido de la canción.

It's the summer of the delay. This week Raz and Jake break down two tactical shooters moving in opposite directions — Hell Let Loose: Vietnam getting pushed back to August after a rough beta, and Wardogs pulling its early access UP (something you basically never see) — and what each move says about a studio's confidence. Then it's Summer Game Fest: the turn-based Star Wars Zero Company that's right up Raz's alley, the surprisingly good-looking Lords of the Fallen 2, and the story everyone's actually arguing about — God of War: Laufey, where Sony takes Kratos out of the lead and hands the axe to his late wife Faye. Creator David Jaffe called it live: "this is not God of War." We get into whether dropping your icon is a bold swing or brand suicide, why the shooter genre feels stale and dead right now, and why most video games — yes, even in your favorite genre — just suck. Two friends, real takes, no script. 0:00 - Intro & the Summer of the Delay 1:27 - Hell Let Loose: Vietnam beta — what's broken 7:00 - Why the HLL: Vietnam delay to August is the right call 10:02 - Wardogs pulls its date UP (you never see this) 13:49 - Plot twist: Team17 publishes both games 15:57 - The shooter genre is stale and dying 20:14 - "These devs actually play video games" 26:30 - Summer Game Fest & why most games suck 29:59 - Keighley, Highguard & the single-player pivot 39:35 - Star Wars Zero Company — turn-based tactics 53:50 - Lords of the Fallen 2 reaction 57:23 - God of War: Laufey — they took Kratos out 1:04:23 - A 20-year fan: "I wanna play as Kratos" 1:23:04 - DMZ tomorrow on Patreon + shoutouts _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.

Como atuar em um parlamento dominado pela direita? | Glauber Braga | Programa 20 Minutos

El mandamiento de amar1) Discutir: Un mal día, ¿te va a parar? Un mal día, ¿te hará que abandones? Todos tenemos malos días, pero recordá que ya llegarán los buenos. Por eso, no te tires abajo por todo lo que te toca. Mira para adelante y recordá los momentos buenos que tuviste. Hay que pasar también los momentos malos, recordá que no todo es duradero en esta vida.2) Corazón: El orgullo es uno de los pecados raíces. Hay gente que prefiere morir a decir: “no sé”. Jesús resume toda la ley del Antiguo Testamento en el mandamiento de “Ama al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con toda tu mente”. Qué autoridad humana podría controlar el cumplimiento de un mandamiento así. Aunque los cristianos tengamos la obligación de obedecer los mandamientos de Dios, no se deduce que hay que convertir los mandamientos morales en leyes. Incluso solo hay dos de los diez mandamientos (“No mates” y “No robes”) que están en el sistema legal. Un gobierno puede cerrar los casinos, los cines pueden cerrar los domingos para que la gente vaya a misa, pero nadie puede obligar a adorar a Dios. Se puede castigar a racistas, pero no se puede curar su odio y menos enseñarles a amar. Un gobierno puede establecer leyes para prohibir el adulterio, pero no puede obligar a los esposos a que amen a sus esposas y viceversa. Eso no se puede obligar. Un gobierno puede prohibir el adulterio, pero no la lujuria. Puede prohibir el robo, pero no la codicia. Puede prohibir la estafa, pero no el orgullo. Puede favorecer la virtud, pero nunca la santidad. Curiosamente ni siquiera a toda la multitud que sacó Dios de Egipto para llevarlos a la tierra prometida logró que lo amaran, por eso Jesús dejó el mandato de hacer discípulos, pero no dejó dicho que cristianicemos a otros continentes. Cuando queremos cambiar la cultura de otros es como que empezamos a gritar al que piensa diferente. 3) Razón: Todos nos arrepentimos de cosas que no hicimos. Nos vamos dando cuenta de que la vida se nos va rápido y no hicimos cosas que podríamos haber hecho. Me refiero a no haber logrado una vida plena, fructífera. Y pensar que nosotros tenemos a Dios. Recordá que nadie te va a anclar a la felicidad. La vida tampoco se trata de un diploma puesto en la pared. La vida tiene estos cuatro elementos:• Levantarte todas las mañanas y disfrutar la vida con todo lo que te toca, desde viajar en una Ferrari o en un camión. • Saber que hay límites también es necesario en la vida.• Tener relaciones saludables.• Saber que tenemos responsabilidad. La vida es hacer lo que tengo que hacer y lo que me tocó hacer. Hacé lo que tienes que hacer y que la gente te extrañe por lo que sos y lo que haces. Viví bien la vida y que tu vida valga la pena. Algo bueno está por venir

Até quando Trump dará as cartas nos Estados Unidos? | Heloísa Villela | Programa 20 MinutosCom o cenário político dos Estados Unidos se aproximando das eleições de meio de mandato em novembro de 2026, a pergunta que ecoa nos corredores de Washington e nas mesas de análise política ao redor do mundo é: "Até quando Trump dará as cartas?". Dados recentes mostram um cenário contraditório: enquanto o presidente Donald Trump consolida um poder absoluto sobre o Partido Republicano — eliminando adversários históricos como o senador Bill Cassidy e o congressista Thomas Massie em primárias sangrentas  — sua popularidade geral desaba. Pesquisas indicam que sua aprovação flutuou perto ou abaixo dos 40%, com o eleitorado desaprovando duramente sua condução da economia e da guerra no Irã . Essa desconexão entre a força de Trump dentro da máquina partidária e a rejeição nas urnas pode ser uma armadilha para o GOP. A grande questão é se a "máquina de vingança" de Trump e sua estratégia de mobilizar a base com narrativas de integridade eleitoral serão suficientes para conter o descontentamento popular com a inflação e os custos de vida, ou se os democratas surfarão uma "onda azul" em novembro . Heloísa Villela, com sua vasta experiência internacional, vai destrinchar esse tabuleiro complexo onde o poder real do presidente parece não se traduzir mais em popularidade.#Trump2026 #Midterms #PolíticaEUA #HeloisaVillela #EleiçõesAmericanas

Razón de Estado con Dionisio Gutiérrez

Nós precisamos ser mais produtivos? | Mariane Santana | Programa 20 MinutosEm meio à correria do dia a dia e à glorificação do estoicismo laboral, a pergunta que não quer calar ecoa: nós realmente precisamos ser mais produtivos? No programa 20 Minutos de hoje, recebemos a educadora e pesquisadora Mariane Santana, autora do recém-lançado livro “Quem dá conta de tudo não dá conta de si mesmo” . Em uma conversa profunda, Mariane desconstrói a armadilha da “cultura da produtividade tóxica” — aquela que nos convence de que nosso valor pessoal está atrelado à quantidade de tarefas que riscamos de um checklist . Longe de defender o ócio irresponsável, a autora nos apresenta o conceito de antiprodutivismo: uma ferramenta política e filosófica para recusar a vida que vive para produzir e resgatar o tempo como experiência de vida, não apenas como capital . Discutimos como a exaustão coletiva se tornou um símbolo de status e por que colocar limites na lógica do trabalho é, na verdade, um ato revolucionário e urgente para a saúde mental e para a construção de uma existência mais significativa. Mariane nos desafia a perceber que, se a produtividade não está a serviço da vida, talvez estejamos apenas alimentando a nossa própria exploração .#PrecisamosFalarSobreIsso #AntiProdutivismo #MarianeSantana #SaúdeMental #CulturaDoCansaço

Strach ma różne twarze - czasem jest pająkiem na ścianie, czasem myślą, która wraca wieczorem. Raz śmieszy, raz odbiera spokój, a czasem po prostu siedzi gdzieś w tle i wpływa na decyzje bardziej, niż chcielibyśmy przyznać.Te małe i poważne lęki stoją obok siebie bez hierarchii, bo nie chodzi o to, co wypada, tylko o to, co jest prawdziwe. I o to, co mówi o nas samych to, czego najbardziej nie chcemy dopuścić do głosu.Materiał powstał w ramach płatnej współpracy z T-Mobile.

Modern Warfare 4 got revealed, 007 First Light is finally out, and the Hell Let Loose: Vietnam beta dropped — so naturally we spent an episode on the franchise we swore off, a Bond game that isn't quite Hitman, and a beta that can't hold a frame rate. We get into the HLL: Vietnam open beta (the rubber-banding, the keybinds that won't stick, the studio's track record) and whether it's worth grabbing at the June 18 launch. Then 007 First Light: it's sitting at 88 on Metacritic and "best Bond since GoldenEye," but is it actually a let-down if you came in expecting Hitman? We break down why the reviews and the disappointment can both be right. Then the big one — Modern Warfare 4. Korea-but-modern is a genuinely cool setting, Ballistic Authority gunplay, DMZ is back, it skips last-gen. We also get into the death of the Warzone era, where extraction shooters go next (Tarkov, Arc Raiders), and a detour into Elden Ring. And we close on Aliens.gov: the site the UFO community thought was disclosure, that turned out to be something very different. Two friends, zero corporate takes.

Um balanço da reforma agrária no governo Lula | Paulo Teixeira | Programa 20 Minutos

Raz w roku, podczas Milan Design Week, Mediolan zamienia się w światową stolicę designu i intensywny tygiel idei, premier i spotkań, ale jego prawdziwa siła oraz indywidualizm ujawniają się poza festiwalowym czasem. Na co dzień stolica Lombardii nie epatuje designem, ale raczej każe go odkrywać: na półprywatnych dziedzińcach, w bramach kamienic i galeriach ukrytych za niepozornymi fasadami. Oto adresy, które warto odwiedzić w Mediolanie o każdej porze roku, by poznać tutejszy język – intelektualny, obsesyjny w detalu i głęboko zakorzeniony w historii.   Autorka: Aleksandra Krasny   Artykuł przeczytasz pod linkiem: https://www.vogue.pl/a/mediolan-dla-fanow-architekturty-i-designu-przewodnik

Group Guide Use this guide to help your group discussion as you meet this week.Additional context: Watch the theology teaching video, What is the Bible? 2 Samuel 15 Mike Goble Download TranscriptAll right, so Chet and Spencer are away. Let's get down to business. No, no, no, no, no. My name is Mike. I'm an elder in training here. Last week at the end of the sermon, I had three people come up to me and say that I reminded them of Absalom.I had one person come up and tell me I reminded them of Abimelech and I reminded them that that's not what the story was about and that was Raz. So when they told me that I reminded them of Absalom, I said, "Oh, of course, the striking good looks." And they all pretty intentionally clarified, "No, that is not why. it is because you have long hair and you are trying to convince people to leave this church and go out with you to plant another church. And so that brings me to my first point today. Oak Ridge Church in Lexington will be meeting sometime in January of 2027. Now this is not an infomercial for our church plant, even though we are very excited about that.We're going to be today in 2 Samuel. We're going to be in chapter 15. This is going to be on page 304 of the Bibles that are at your seats. We would ask if you'd consider not using an electronic Bible if you're willing and instead maybe pick one of those Bibles up and we're going to read the Bible together. And we think that's a helpful thing. Before we get started in our text, I'm going to pray for us. Father, we thank you for being our God, for being our salvation.We thank you for your good scripture that teaches us about you. Please Lord, may the Spirit work in our hearts through the foolishness of preaching that we would be changed to be more like your Son in Jesus' name. Amen. All right. Last week we saw that David permitted Absalom to return back to Jerusalem after he initially spent three years in exile after murdering his brother Amnon after Amnon's sin with Tamar. But even though Absalom was back in Jerusalem, he was not allowed to be in the king's presence.And after about two years, he kind of forces himself back into the king's presence by burning down Joab's field. Now, Joab is one of David's nephews. He is the son of David's sister. And he's one of the commanders of David's army. So, Absalom burns down the field, gets his attention, and Joab tells David, and David lets Absalom back into his presence. And then Absalom goes and spends the next four years positioning himself daily at the city gate, rendering judgments and manipulating the people, stealing their hearts is what it says. He is taking them away from their loyalty and their allegiance to King David.He then travels down to Hebron, which is about 18 miles or so south of Jerusalem. And he's got a large group of followers with him. And guys, remember Hebron is actually a pretty significant place. It's significant that he goes down there. So Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the patriarchs, the men from which all of Israel descended, are buried.They're all buried in Hebron. And David himself was was anointed king down in Hebron. So this is a pretty significant place. And now we see Absalom is down there and he's proclaimed as king, but he's not anointed. He's taking it by manipulation. And we're going to see taking it by force.This is the beginning of a full-scale rebellion. And today we're actually gonna look at how David responds and how the people around David respond to what's going on here in Israel. We pick up in verse 13 of chapter 15. And a messenger came to David saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom." Then David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise and let us flee, or else there will be no escape for us from Absalom," "Go quickly, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down ruin on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword."And the king's servant said to the king, "Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my Lord, the king, decides." So the king went out and all his household after him. And the king left 10 concubines to keep the house. And the king went out and all the people after him and they halted at the last house. All right.So a messenger comes in and tells David, hey, Israel is going to follow Absalom. So through his manipulation over the last four years, he has won over a significant portion of people that this messenger comes right in and says, "Hey, is the hearts of the men of Israel, they're gone. And they're not just gone from you. They've gone to your son Absalom." Meaning Absalom has the loyalty of these people. So David responds by saying to all his servants that are still in Jerusalem that they need to flee because if they stay, they will not escape from Absalom and he will come quickly and violently and he will ruin them.And so his servants get up with him and they get ready to flee and they leave behind the 10 concubines to maintain the house. And now they're going. And this is a pretty high pressure moment in this story. And we've we've kind of seen stuff like this play out in stories before, right? You know, you know the story the the tale of the prince who his uncle wanted to become king. And so he convinces the prince that the prince killed his dad.And the prince gets so overwhelmed and so scared that he flees. And he leaves Pride Rock. And Zazu and Rafiki have no idea what they're going to do. And we see stories like this in our entertainment. But guys, this happens a lot and it has happened a lot in history.There are so many coups in history from the murder of Julius Caesar to Napoleon taking over France to Castro and the Cuban Revolution. Did you know that in 2024 there was a coup in South Korea where the president of South Korea decided he was going to declare martial law so the legislature you know they couldn't meet or do anything and then well the legislature met anyway and 11 days later he was impeached and then put on trial. That was two years ago. This kind of stuff has been happening forever throughout history. And honestly, when I think about that, I can't help but think back to 1 Samuel chapter 8, where Israel is demanding that they have a king so they can be like all the other nations.And David, their king, is now here fleeing Jerusalem because his son is coming to overthrow him just like so many other nations before them and so many other nations that will come after them. What do you think was on David's mind? What do you think he was thinking about here? You know, the text doesn't directly say, but do you remember what the Lord said through the prophet Nathan in chapter 12? In chapter 12, when Nathan is pronouncing his judgment from God on David for his sin, the Lord says to David that the sword will not depart from your house. And then right after in chapter 13, we find out Absalom kills his brother Amnon.So, one of David's sons kills the other. And now David suspects Absalom is coming for him. So his plan is to flee. And it might be because he's afraid of Absalom. It might be because he wants to avoid conflict with his own son. It might also be acceptance of the judgment of God.And I actually think that the rest of what we're going to look at today supports that idea. Supports that David has accepted what God has planned for him no matter what. All right. So, David's servants are ready to go and they begin leaving Jerusalem together. And let's pick up verse 18. And all his servants pass by him.And all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the 600 Gittites who had followed him from Gath passed on before the king. Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Go back and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner, and also in exile from your home. You came only yesterday. And shall I today make you wander about with us, since I go, I know not where? Go back, take your brothers with you.And may the Lord show steadfast love and faithfulness to you." But Ittai answered the king, "As the Lord lives and as my Lord the king lives, wherever my Lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, there also will be your servant." And David said to Ittai, "Go then, pass on." So Ittai the Gittite passed on with all his men and all the little ones who were with him. And all the land wept aloud as all the people passed by and the king crossed the brook Kedron and all the people passed on toward the wilderness. Okay, so David's leaving and as he's leaving he passes by different people that are highlighted for us here in the text.First there's the Cherethites, the Pelethites and the Gittites. So the Cherethites and the Pelethites are part of the royal bodyguard. So these are warriors who protect David and they go with him. And the Gittites and their leader Ittai are originally from Gath, we're told. And that's a a Philistine city. And the reason that we're told that is because back in 1 Samuel, David when he was originally fleeing Israel, fleeing from Saul when Saul wanted him dead, lived in Gath.And these men followed him when he returned back to Israel. And so he gives Ittai the option. He says, "Go back. You can just go back and align yourself with Absalom. You do not have to come with me." He says, "There's not really a reason for you, Ittai, to go ahead and get caught up in this problem.I'm releasing you from that." And Ittai refuses and he says, "He's going to stay with David even to death." And that is pretty awesome. There's something in us that just kind of loves a display of loyalty and a display of friendship like that. If you remember the famous book series that was adapted into the blockbuster movies, The Lord of the Rings, the whole series, the whole journey, the main character is trying to destroy this ring that he has to carry. And right when he's at the end, right when he's just feet almost steps from being able to do so, he runs out of strength and and by his side with him the whole time is his friend, his best friend that he's known his whole life.And his friend looks at him and says, "I can't carry it for you." And that's the ring, "But I can carry you." And when you watch that in the theater or maybe at your house, you're like, "Yeah, and I can carry it for you, too." You just like get so swept up in it, it's really cool. And your wife says pipe down, but you're like, "No, this is this is awesome." And so we see that and that strikes a chord within our hearts because we love that display of loyalty and friendship.We want to be a part of that display of loyalty and friendship. And so I think that's a really noteworthy thing and I think it's included in that in who he passes by on his way out of town because we get to see that exceptional display of friendship and loyalty to David. So, he's got this large group of faithful friends who in his darkest hour are leaving Jerusalem with him and they're all together and it says that they're weeping and that they're headed into the wilderness. Verse 24, and Abiathar came up, and behold, Zadok came also with all the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of God.And they set down the ark of God until the people had all passed out of the city. Then the king said to Zadok, "carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me back and let me see both it and his dwelling place. But if he says, I have no pleasure in you, behold, here I am, let him do to me what seems good to him." The king also said to Zadok the priest, "Are you not a seer? Go back to the city in peace with your two sons, Ahimeaz, your son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar.See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me." So Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and they remain there. But David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went, barefoot and with his head covered. And all the people who were with him covered their heads and they went up weeping as they went. And it was told David, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, "O Lord, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness."All right. Now we are going to get into David's response to the situation that he's in. So Abiathar and Zadok, who are they? They are the chief priests. They are part of the Levites and they carry the ark of the covenant. And the ark of the covenant represents God's presence with his people.What does David say? He tells them, "Take it back to Jerusalem." Why? Why would David say that? Part of the answer to that question is because he says, "Zadok, aren't you a Aren't you a seer? Aren't you a prophet?" maybe David thinks, well, if he's back there, he can he can get some information out to me while I'm out here in the wilderness.It might be good to have him back there. And that is part of it. However, I think the main answer, the main reason that David tells him to take the ark, tells them to take the ark of the covenant back, is because he is accepting of the sovereign will of God. And he's doing it with humility. David's response is to essentially resign himself to the will of God. And if he sees the ark again, he knows God has looked favorably on him.And if not, then may God do what seems good to him. In the 1600s, German theology professor Samuel Rodegast wrote a song for his friend who was dying. And the song is called Was Gott tut das ist wohlgetan. Do you got I'll translate that for you for those of you who don't speak German. Whatever my God ordains is right. And one of the verses in this song goes, "Whatever my God ordains is right, he never will deceive me.He leads me by the proper path, I know he will not leave me. I take content what he has sent. His hand can turn my griefs away, and patiently I wait his day." So David resolutely accepts the will of God and he ascends the Mount of Olives weeping and here we see the second aspect of his response. We first see the humble acceptance of the divine will and after that we see him pray. What does he pray?He asks God to make the counsel of Ahithophel foolish. Now, Ahithophel was once David's advisor, but he turned his allegiance toward Absalom. And David here, powerless from a position of humility, asks the Lord to make whatever Ahithophel advises Absalom to be foolish. And we're actually going to see later on that God is going to answer this prayer. But something I want to see is that the two aspects of the response are actually linked together, require each other.Because intrinsic to prayer is humility. It's recognizing that the greatest thing you can possibly do is acknowledge the will of God and the fact that he is ordaining all things. And when you do that, you are going to pray. No, you are. You pray. When you have a heart posture like that, what comes out of it from within you is prayer.Because you finally understand how insignificant you are in affecting outcomes on this earth and you realize that God is sovereign and that God is ordaining all things and you are not God. What happened in Israel when they decided to accomplish their own will? Sexual sin, murder, treachery, it doesn't really go well. And the world around us doesn't really understand this, right? Because what happens when we see tragedies and things like that and people say, "Well, you know, our thoughts and prayers are are with the victims and and the things that have happened, right?" And people just don't like that.They sort of respond back with, "Well, we don't want that. We would rather you do something. We would rather see action. But if you know God and you know your relationship to him and you understand in your heart that what he ordains is right, that what he is doing has a purpose, then you know that the greatest thing you possibly could do would be to pray and to ask him, hey, if it could work out this way, would you change the counsel of Ahithophel to be foolishness? Right? And to commune with God from a position of humility is a really powerful thing.Let's pick back up in verse 32. While David was coming to the summit where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn and dirt on his head. David said to him, "If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me. But if you return to the city and say to Absalom,"I will be your servant, O king, as I have been your father's servant in time past, so now I will be your servant. Then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel."Are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? So whatever you hear from the king's house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests. Behold, their two sons are with them. Ahimeaz Zadok's son and Jonathan Abiathar's son. And by them you shall send to me everything you hear. So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city just as Absalom was entering Jerusalem.Okay. Here, David tells Hushai, another one of his close friends and counselors, to go back to Jerusalem and act as a spy, essentially to feed information to Zadok and Abiathar, who will through their sons get that information out into the wilderness to David. And so now we finish chapter 15 with David on his way out of Jerusalem. And we begin chapter 16. And as David is out of Jerusalem, Absalom has now entered Jerusalem. Chapter 16 starts, "When David had passed a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of donkeys saddled bearing 200 loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a skin of wine."And the king said to Ziba, "Why have you brought these?" Ziba answered, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who faint in the wilderness to drink." And the king said, "And where is your master's son?" That's Mephibosheth. "Where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Behold, he remains in Jerusalem, for he said, Today the house of Israel will give me back the kingdom of my father." Then the king said to Ziba, "Behold, all that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours."And Ziba said, "I pay homage. Let me ever find favor in your sight, my Lord the king." Okay, so back in 2 Samuel 9, we see the first interaction of David with Ziba. And what's happening there is remember David wanted to honor someone of the lineage of his friend Jonathan. And so he wants to find someone of the lineage of Saul. Jonathan was Saul's son.And he wants to honor him. And Ziba says, "Well, actually, Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth, is here." And David says, "Okay, bring him to me." And he brings him and he honors him. And he says, "You're going to always eat at the king's table." And Ziba then after that is made the servant of Mephibosheth.And now where we are, we've got Ziba coming to tell David, "Hey, just so you know, as you were leaving back in Jerusalem, Mephibosheth went ahead and said, "Awesome. Now I'm going to get the kingdom back because David's gone." Like as if the house of Saul is going to now take back the kingdom. And David kind of takes this just at face value. And I don't know if it's because maybe things have not been working out super well for David. So, you know, when you're not having the greatest of time and you hear a piece of information that's not that great, you're like, "Of course, yeah, that's going wrong, too.The car is broken as well." You know, it's that kind of thing where, yeah, Mephibosheth thinks he's going to be king. I guess that's what he wanted all along. I don't know if that's exactly what David's thinking, but he responds by giving what he had originally given to Mephibosheth over to Ziba. But later on, and we're not going to unpack this as much today, in chapter 19, Mephibosheth is going to dispute this.And we're not actually sure if this is what happened. But from David's perspective, he thinks Mephibosheth has also sort of abandoned him and is looking to gain his own kingdom. And he thinks that's another person who probably is not on his side anymore. Verse 5. When King David came to Bahurim, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera. And as he came, he cursed continually. And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David.And all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. And Shimei said as he cursed, "Get out. Get out. You man of blood, you worthless man. The Lord has avenged on you all the blood of the house of Saul in whose place you have reigned. And the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom.See, your evil is on you, for you are a man of blood. So Shimei, who is one of Saul's relatives, sees things aren't going very well for David. And as David and his guard and all his people with him are are passing by, he starts flinging stones at him and saying a curse at him. And the text sort of reads this as one man just out there flinging rocks into a crowd of hundreds, thousands at David and cursing at him. And we're told he does this because he resents David for what happened to Saul. In verse 9, you see, then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my Lord the king?Let me go over and take off his head." But the king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord has said to him, "Curse David, who then shall say, why have you done so?" And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Behold, my own son seeks my life. How much more now may this Benjaminite? Leave him alone and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to. It may be that the Lord will look on the wrong done to me, and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing today."So David and his men went on the road while Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went and threw stones at him and flung dust. And the king and all his people who were with him arrived weary at the Jordan and there he refreshed himself. Okay. So Abishai is Joab, the guy who we talked about from last time whose field was burned. He's his brother. So this is another one of David's nephews, one of the children of David's sister.And Abishai, he is not liking this. He does not like what he sees here. This is like, you know, if you're like in high school and maybe you're like having a feud with another person and so like all your friends, they're like shooting that other person dirty looks. Maybe that person's having a party and they're like, "Well, we're not going to go because, you know, our friends are feuding with each other. we're not going to go support that. And then your friend kind of comes up to you and he says, "Look over there at that dead dog. How about I just go bring his head to you?"And you're like, "Whoa." Love the zeal, but no. And so David here tells Abishai, "No." But this isn't the first time that's had to happen because actually back in 1 Samuel, Abishai is with David when David is in the camp of Saul when Saul wants to kill him and Saul is sleeping and David and Abishai are there and see him and Abishai goes let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear and David tells him no and he tells him here no again. So he's being cursed and mocked by Shimei and Abishai will not stand for that.And in his zeal he wants to go kill him. And you know David could have just been like yeah I am so tired of this. I am so sick of this. Go over there and bring me his head. But he does not.Instead, he says, "Let him curse because if God told him to curse, then who are we to question that? And perhaps one day God will look favorably upon it for me." This is David again accepting God's will humbly. He rejects the opportunity to control the outcome by manipulating the circumstances and instead he resigns himself to the will of God. I think that's really hard. And I know some of you feel like you're in the same boat, right?Maybe your mind is three steps ahead of everyone else and you're always trying to engineer the best outcome for yourself, especially if things haven't been going well lately. And so seeing David do this this act of humility is impressive and it's really challenging. We're going to bring our time together with this story to a close today. I want us to look back through some of those themes that we stopped to talk about. You know, we're not kings and queens. We probably will never flee our own homes on foot because of a coup.But a lot of these are reflections of what goes on in people's hearts. And I think some of these things go on in our hearts. First, I want us to reflect on Israel's desire for the king. Their desire to be just like everyone else around them. You know, this was a rejection of God as their king. And we talked about this in 1 Samuel, but now here they are just like everyone else.Because murder and sexual sin and treachery are all just glimpses of what life choosing your own sin and choosing your own will can lead to. And it doesn't ever seem like that. Nobody ever says we want a king and is thinking about a military coup. But yes, sin can take us to the place that we never think we'll go. So where are you tempted to believe these things?Where are you tempted to say that you know better that you desire a king even though that's not what God wants? I mean, I know I'm not supposed to sleep with my boyfriend or girlfriend before we're married, but what's the big deal? I mean, it's just so impractical in this economy anyway to not live together. I mean, I understand that God says I shouldn't lie, but really, honestly, taxes are crazy high, and I don't really believe in them anyway. So, what's a big deal if I count that as a deduction? Where do you think you know better than God?And where will it take you today? Reflect on that and turn from it. You can do it. You can turn from it. You can reject it and obey God, but not in your own willpower. But Romans tells us that we were once slaves to sin, but from a changed heart, we can now obey.You can obey if you have repented of sin and put faith in the gospel because your heart is changed. And only from a changed heart can we obey God. Second, I want us to see the beauty of friendship and the beauty of loyalty. David in one of his darkest hours is surrounded by men who refuse to leave him. So where do we need to be a friend like Ittai the Gittite?Where do we need to say that wherever you will be, I will be, good or bad? Are you sticking it out with your friends? Are you showing it up? Are you showing up when they need you or are you just busy? What do you need to remove from your life so that you can have the space to be there for other people? Some of you have been in rough situations in your life.Some of you are in rough situations and some of you can think of people who have showed up. Some of those people are sitting nearby you in this room. Rejoice in that because guys, you know that's a reflection of God. You know in the book of Hebrews it says that God will never leave us or forsake us. Why? Because he forsook Jesus.And so we are welcomed in a relationship with God that even death cannot sever. And we should reflect that to the friends around us that God has brought in our path. Thirdly, I want us to see David's humble contentment with God's will. We see it in his posture toward the ark of the covenant and in the cursing from Shimei. David accepts whatever God has ordained. And the temptation in times when you're walking a dark road can be to look up at God and say, "No, I am the master of my fate.I am the captain of my soul." And so I ask you today, where are you discontent with what God has sent? work, family, dating, children, health. Remind yourself of his goodness and entrust yourself to him. David ascends the Mount of Olives, weeping, resolved to God's will. And about a thousand years later, a descendant of David will sit at the base of the Mount of Olives in the Garden of Gethsemane. And in grief, he is going to call out to God and say, "Let this cup pass from me."Yet, not as I will, but as you will. And that's Jesus. And that's David's descendant who humbly accepts the will of God and goes to the cross and is punished for sin and he dies and he's buried and he rises again. And because of that, because Jesus has humbly accepted the will of the Father and was crushed, you can humbly accept the will of the Father and live. And the band is going to come back up and we are going to close this morning reflecting on Jesus, on the freedom he brings from our own sinful will and desire, on the relationships that he makes possible for us to have with God and on the example of humble acceptance of the will of God that he showed us on the cross that allows us to accept whatever comes our way.

“At the very end, we’re all the same, and we want the same thing, which is we want to feel like we’re worthy of love and belonging.” — Markus Bihler Markus Bihler | Chairman, Hoffman South Africa The Chairman of Hoffman Institute South Africa, Markus Bihler, is a different person than he was before taking the Hoffman Process. One beautiful outcome of his Process was the journey he made from his head to his heart. Markus spent 35-plus years of his life as a “medical anomaly,” namely, “as somebody who had a head but no body.” He lived in his intellect. During the week of his Process, Markus cried more than he had ever cried in his adult life. Calling it a “liberating experience,” he now knows that all emotions are legitimate and have a reason for being. And he found deep empathy for young Markus, which led to empathy for his family and people in general. After his Process, not only did Markus change, but his life changed, too. He and his wife, Angelina, moved home to South Africa. Once there, one of the first things he did was look for a Hoffman grad group. When he realized there was no Hoffman Institute South Africa, he and Angelina rolled up their sleeves to create one. They have opened and now run the Hoffman Institute in South Africa. They held their first Process this past Spring. Using powerful metaphor and analogy, Markus shares his experience and knowledge of the Process in ways that bring its gifts into clear focus. He also speaks to the business side of Hoffman. For Markus and Angelina, the ‘business’ of Hoffman is not to make money. It is to “provide scale for this Process to permeate further into the world.” Their expertise and enthusiasm for the Process’s growth are helping to bring Bob Hoffman’s vision, “world peace, one person at a time,” more fully into reality. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Markus Bihler: Markus and Angelina Bihler Angelina and Markus Bihler have started the Hoffman Institute South Africa, based in Cape Town, where they live with their two young sons after a global career in tech and finance, respectively. Markus Bihler is a director, investor, and former CEO with a background spanning global consumer and investment businesses. He has worked across Europe, Southeast Asia, and international markets, including leading two successful CEO-led exits and founding a global long/short hedge fund focused on consumer equities. Earlier in his career, he was with Blackstone and EQT in private equity. Markus is a graduate of Oxford University and a Professor of Finance at the University of Cape Town.

Forza Horizon 6 dropped in Japan and we both went deep — Raz put in 27 hours, Jake is still learning. This week we break down everything: who this game is actually for, whether you need to be a car guy to enjoy it, and whether the critics are right about the Metacritic 92. We go hard on the manual vs. automatic debate (Jake is on manual with clutch, Raz is on automatic — and Jake has opinions about that). We talk tuning depth vs. accessibility, the "same loop new map" criticism, and why Japan is a better setting than you might expect. Then it gets personal: Jake refuses to drive Japanese rice burners in-game, breaks down exactly why a stock '69 Mustang beats a $300,000 Civic, and the Honda CRX takes a beating. Raz reveals his dream car is a 2010 Scion TC. It goes how you'd expect. We also cover: the Halo Warthog hidden in your garage, online racing first impressions, fast traveling in a driving game (yes, Raz is doing it), and whether Forza Horizon 6 belongs in the Game of the Year conversation. Jake thinks racing games should never win GOTY. Raz is slowly converting to manual. Neither of them know what camber is. 0:00 Intro – Fly Digi Racing Mode & Episode 588 3:49 Raz's Racing Game Resume (Gran Turismo 4 to 27 Hours of FH6) 5:40 Who Is Forza Horizon 6 Actually For? 19:59 Manual vs Automatic – Jake Makes His Case 23:10 Tuning Depth: Gear Ratios, Camber & Casual Accessibility 32:36 "I'm Not Becoming a Tradesman" – The Tuning Menu Rant 41:20 JDM vs Muscle Cars – Jake's Strong Opinions on Car Aesthetics 42:48 The Honda CRX Situation (And Why It's a Piece of S***) 1:03:57 Online Racing First Impressions 1:05:34 Raz's Dream Car Is a 2010 Scion TC (It's Not in the Game) 1:12:06 The Halo Warthog & Polaris Razor – Xbox Easter Eggs 1:15:57 Metacritic 92: Best Reviewed Game of 2026? 1:18:29 "Same Loop New Map" Criticism – Is It Valid? 1:21:57 AWD vs 4WD – Neither of Us Know Cars 1:33:49 Should Forza Horizon 6 Win Game of the Year? 1:38:31 Raz Is Fast Traveling in a Driving Game (On the Record) 1:41:56 Who Should Play This Game (And Who Shouldn't) 1:45:37 Outro – Patreon Plug & Next Week _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.

The regular season is over and Spring Playoffs are finally here! On this episode of The Dive Driven by Kia, Azael, Kobe, and Meteos open with a deeper discussion about LYON's in-game comms. While it may seem toxic to some, there's a level of understanding between the pros- friendship & flaming can go hand in hand when players aren't afraid to step on eggshells while communicating. How do you prefer to express yourself with your teammates?Dhokla and Saint are still competing for LYON's top lane spot, while FLY's Gryffinn pulled out a Nasus jungle that hasn't been seen in LCS pro play since 2013. Despite C9's undefeated regular season, one of the rarer accomplishments in the LCS, the team is still trying to earn back fans' trust after their performance at Americas Cup. Meanwhile, the top five teams all look dangerously competitive heading into playoffs, and even with Contractz bringing out his signature Olaf, SR still enters the bracket as the underdogs.After breaking down last week's matches, our hosts lock in their Round 1 Playoff predictions. Can FLY's champion pool find a way past the seemingly unconquerable C9? And in the highly anticipated rematch between TLAW and LYON, will revenge be on the table?Oh, and leave a comment for what Kobe should paint on Raz's face on broadcast this Saturday.

Kyle Karges sits down with Raz Mihalyi to talk about how he moved from short-term rentals into private money lending through the SubTo and Owners Club communities. Raz breaks down a South Carolina mobile home lending deal where three investors each brought $40,000, added underwriting support, and earned returns while staying mostly hands-off. He also shares why communication, due diligence, and relationships matter just as much as the numbers when lending on real estate projects. Raz closes by explaining his current focus on escrow-protected transactional lending for double closes and Morby Method deals. Follow Raz Mihalyi - instagram.com/raz.mihalyi

California's Stop Killing Games bill just cleared its first major hurdle — and if it becomes law, publishers won't be able to just flip the switch on your games anymore. We break down what the bill actually says, why the gaming industry is quietly panicking, and whether it'll even survive long enough to matter. Then: Subnautica 2 launched in Early Access and immediately broke Steam records for the franchise — 1 million players in 2 hours, 2 million in 12. But behind the numbers is a wild story involving a studio lawsuit, a founder getting fired, and Krafton throwing its weight around. Is this a genuine comeback or a chaos success? Plus — Forza Horizon 6 finally got a proper reveal, and we have thoughts. And we go off the rails (in the best way) into zero-point energy. Someone announced a Casimir Effect chip that supposedly generates 1.5 volts. Jake's in. Raz is not.

Sony just wrote off $765 million on Bungie — and somehow that's not even the wildest thing that happened in gaming this week. We break down what PlayStation's impairment loss actually means for Marathon, whether Xbox has quietly become just a publishing label, and why the GTA 6 PC delay is a deliberate cash grab no matter what Take-Two's CEO says. Plus: Tarkov is officially going the live service route (RIP), GameStop tried to buy eBay with money they definitely don't have, and Anthropic built an AI so good at finding security bugs they're not letting the public have it yet. And we watched the government UFO files drop live — Jake thinks it might be real, Raz thinks it's mass hysteria and blimps. Genuine disagreement. You decide.
