I sit down with Dr. Nicole McNichols to dismantle the biggest myths men believe about sex, attraction, and confidence. We talk about why performance anxiety kills connection, how curiosity builds real sexual confidence, and what actually drives desire in long-term relationships. This conversation goes deep into emotional attunement, power dynamics, attachment styles, and why better sex starts long before the bedroom.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - What Men Misunderstand About Attraction01:07 - The Real Role of Confidence01:25 - Porn, Netflix, and Sexual Myths03:46 - The Reality of Sex Statistics06:12 - Performance Anxiety and Spectatoring07:31 - Sexual Curiosity Explained08:02 - How to Improve Your Sex Life Tonight10:18 - Talking During Sex Without Killing Desire11:27 - Why Uncertainty Is a Myth13:52 - Self-Growth vs Distance in Desire16:09 - Planned Sex vs Spontaneity17:49 - How Confidence Is Built Sexually19:32 - The Sexual Unicorn Myth22:50 - Getting Out of Your Head in Bed24:32 - When Your Partner Says “I Don't Know”26:44 - Desire vs Arousal29:27 - Why Bodies Don't Always Match Desire31:54 - Power Dynamics and Erotic Differences35:57 - Madonna-Whore Complex Explained42:47 - The Hierarchy of Sexual Needs44:36 - Attachment Styles and Sex48:33 - Emotional Attunement and Female Desire52:42 - Dominance, Safety, and Masculinity59:36 - When Men's Needs Get Deprioritized01:04:35 - What Women Can Do Better Sexually01:07:44 - The Lost Art of Seduction01:10:06 - Final Takeaways and Where to Find Nicole***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

BEST OF: With a reportedly historical peace agreement made in the Middle East war has been averted and the world will finally be a harmonious place to live for all people. Sure, if you believe in the framing of that narrative. Reality is much different. The so-called “peace” deal was only agreed upon for two major reason: one, the President had to ensure Israel would not break it, because this is all they have ever done to such agreements; and two, because Jared Kushner was the architect, the same guy who wants to build, with Trump, a resort in Gaza. At home it was Stephen Miller who is credited as the architect of a militarized police state, the same guy behind White House policy who said the President is now operating with “plenary authority,” total authoritarian rule. How naive are we? Within hours of the peace announcement, Israel was claiming its enemies were simply regrouping and that soon an American city may be in the crosshairs of a nuclear attack from Iran. This is just days after we were told that terrorists were going to dress like the Village People and bomb hospitals in the US. Since the President has been labeled a “savior” and “messiah” of the Jewish people by Mariam Adelson, it appears the plan is set. The peace will not last long and will be violated in a way that triggers a larger war. The nihilists will be unleashed, Christianity and Islam will go to war, and the Jewish state will fulfill their Talmudic prophecy about the antichrist; about non-Jews becoming servants of Jews. The push for Armageddon optics is so obvious and yet Christians tend to go along with it because what it implies for their own belief. The notion that America should invest only in Israel, ban other religions, and create a Judeo-Christian theocracy is a growing cancer. In this way, it appears that Jesus himself is the reason for the treason. Otherwise, one does not need Jesus or Christianity to have a safe, clean, high-trust, advanced society. When Jesus is weaponized, he becomes a destructive tool of conquest and control. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

'The blast wave from a thermonuclear weapon has been likened to an enormous door, slamming in the depths of hell'-Narrator, The War Game.Sean and Sarah go from very silly (Sean has been eating too many Brandy-infused Mince Pies) to incredibly serious whilst discussing one of the most harrowing films they've ever seen: The 1966 BBC Nuclear War pseudo-documentary programme, The War Game. Banned from TV broadcast until 1984, when it was show alongside Threads (1984) this is a must-see film.A harrowing film showing a nuclear strike on the South of England, infused with British humour alongside horrific details of the impact of radiation, this is peak British Television.Please Note: This podcast episode contains one use of the term ‘coloured'. This is quoted directly from the film purely as part of a historical discussion and review of the film, and is not meant to cause any offence/distress.

Ever walk into a holiday party and immediately feel like you need to explain yourself before anyone even asks? Reality check: you don't. Not even a little bit. In this episode, Coach Hayley shares her own messy, beautiful journey through her first alcohol-free holidays. She talks about feeling like she was under a microscope (spoiler: she wasn't), worrying everyone was judging her (they were mostly thinking about their own to-do lists), and that game-changing moment when someone said, "Hayley seems so happy." That's when she realized—this whole creating healthy holiday boundaries thing isn't about losing yourself. It's about coming home to yourself. Coach Hayley breaks down why defensiveness shows up (hint: it's your nervous system protecting you from shame), how to handle "just have one" comments without a ten-minute explanation, and why most people actually don't care what's in your glass. She introduces the Connection Compass, a super simple tool to ground yourself before any gathering by checking in on calm, clear, kind, and connected. Walk away with tips on navigating social pressure, keeping your favorite traditions while swapping ingredients, and showing up unapologetically as you. Whether you're worried about being boring, anxious about family questions, or just tired of feeling like you owe everyone a dissertation on your choices, this episode's got you covered with compassion, practical tools, and zero judgment. Coach Hayley is sharing more on: Why you never have to justify your choice not to drink, and how creating healthy holiday boundaries means honoring yourself What defensiveness really is (a protective response, not a character flaw) and why your only job is to be kind and honest Easy-to-use responses for handling "Why aren't you drinking?" questions, and how to gracefully change the subject without feeling awkward The Connection Compass: a four-direction check-in tool (calm, clear, kind, connected) that helps you prepare emotionally before holiday gatherings How boundaries protect and empower you rather than push people away Ways to handle cravings when they show up at parties, festive drink options that still feel special, and the freedom of leaving when you're ready Transforming FOMO into JOMO—the joy of missing out on hangovers, regret, and anxiety in exchange for presence, peace, and real connection And more… Episode links: Related Episodes: Why do we desire alcohol for celebration? - Reader Question - E266 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-266-reader-question-why-do-we-desire-alcohol-for-celebration/ Will I Ever Have Fun Without Drinking Alcohol? - Reader Question - E362 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-362-reader-question-will-i-ever-have-fun-without-drinking-alcohol/ The Cost of Fitting In - Alcohol Freedom Coaching - E785 - https://thisnakedmind.com/the-cost-of-fitting-in-alcohol-freedom-coaching-e785/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?

The Deception Regarding Afghan Troop Strength: Colleagues Jerry Dunleavy and James Hasson detail how the administration misled the public with inflated Afghan troop numbers, hiding the reality of "ghost units" and police forces, adding that removing essential contractors guaranteed the military's failure, yet officials maintained optimistic rhetoric that trapped American citizens and allies behind Taliban lines. 1919 KABUL BOMBED

Chris Markowski discusses the importance of prioritizing financial planning over conventional retirement planning. He emphasizes the need for individuals to focus on what truly matters in life, such as family and experiences, rather than material possessions. The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by the Federal Reserve and the impact of private equity on financial advisories, highlighting the need for individuals to be cautious in their investment decisions.
Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John Rush challenging listeners to rethink what truly matters as Christmas approaches: Are we clinging to gifts no one remembers, or to experiences no one forgets? But the hour quickly shifts from holiday wisdom to political reality as John delivers a bold, unfiltered prediction about Colorado's GOP governor's race. With more than 20 Republican candidates scrambling for attention, he asks the unavoidable question: Is the party sabotaging itself before the race even begins? John warns that infighting, ego-driven campaigns, and even suspected political “plants” could doom conservatives in 2026 unless unity happens early—something he doubts will occur. He then dives into Colorado's cooling economy, exposing the impact of skyrocketing regulations, natural-gas restrictions, and costly mandates that he says the media refuses to acknowledge. Why does Governor Polis blame tariffs and interest rates instead of his own policies? And what hidden change nearly eliminated Denver's famous brown cloud? Hour 1 is part political thriller, part economic wake-up call—packed with provocative insights you won't hear anywhere else. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason revs up with special guest Ray Shefska, CEO of CarEdge (https://caredge.com), for a sharp, insider breakdown of one of the most significant shifts in the auto industry: the administration's newly relaxed CAFE standards. What will the loser fuel-efficiency rules mean for consumers, dealers, and the future of affordable cars? Ray reveals why the market has fewer budget-friendly vehicles than ever—and why envy, not necessity, is driving Americans into $55,000 cars with $750 monthly payments. John and Ray then expose how automakers fumbled the rollout of EVs, relying on government incentives instead of actually selling the features and benefits. Are manufacturers now scrambling to salvage billions in electric-vehicle investment? And will Toyota's hybrid-first strategy turn out to be the stroke of genius everyone else missed? The second half of the hour turns electric in a different way, as John battles misconceptions about EV road taxes and digs into a high-profile Highlands Ranch garage fire. Was it the EV, the charger, or something entirely unrelated? Listeners are left questioning how quickly we jump to conclusions—and how often we get the facts wrong. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason takes a surprising and thoughtful turn as Patrick Payton—former mayor of Midland, Texas, longtime pastor, leadership consultant, and presidential leadership scholar—joins John for a powerful conversation about division, persuasion, and the lost art of human respect. Why can rival football fans shake hands after a brutal game, yet families can't make it through Christmas dinner without political warfare? Patrick shares insights from his new book, The Middle: How the Quiet Majority Can Mend a Divided Nation, explaining how both extremes—left and right—use fear, manipulation, and “otherizing” to control people. He offers practical strategies for navigating tense family gatherings, redirecting conflict, and approaching political disagreements with humility, patience, and genuine curiosity. After Patrick signs off, John turns to a viral claim that Trump voters should be legally forced to wear MAGA hats—raising an uncomfortable question: Are modern activists resurrecting tactics that eerily echo history's darkest movements? The conversation closes with John exposing how Agenda 21–style policies and rising Marxist rhetoric are creeping into Colorado politics, leaving listeners to ask: Are we still protecting freedom, or silently giving it away?
Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com focuses on medical freedom and political obstacles, with John Rush joined by Dr. Kelly Victory and Steve House. The hour examines why prominent medical and policy voices are suppressed and why reforms face strong resistance. Dr. Victory breaks down the ongoing fight over vaccine policy and medical censorship. She explains why treatments like ivermectin were aggressively dismissed despite real-world results. Steve House pulls back the curtain on the political and financial machinery behind health care. He exposes why hospital billing feels intentionally incomprehensible—and who profits from that confusion. The conversation then shifts to the 2026 midterms, with clear warnings about internal party struggles, selecting candidates, and the risks of prioritizing ideals over practical strategy. Can Republicans win without unity and a realistic approach? What if broken systems—medical, political, and media—are never examined openly? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason spotlights immigration enforcement, featuring Ammon Blair of the https://TexasPublicPolicyFoundation.com. The discussion centers on state and local cooperation with ICE, how education and incentives can improve enforcement, and the debate over humane immigration policy. The hour then pivots to Colorado politics as John examines new state laws taking effect in 2026, questioning whether they protect citizens or quietly undermine property rights and personal responsibility. From tenant-landlord rules to gun show regulations, the discussion warns of unintended consequences that could worsen housing shortages and fuel government expansion. Listener calls push the conversation deeper, asking a sobering question: are these policies about compassion—or control? HOUR 3 Hour 3 delivers a wide-ranging, hard-hitting conversation that challenges prevailing narratives on government power, economics, and cultural change. John Rush is joined by Jerzee Joe (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145), who draws stark parallels between U.S. policy debates and the real-world consequences seen in Europe—from failed government housing projects to crime statistics tied to mass immigration. Are America's leaders ignoring lessons already written in history? The hour then shifts to a deep economic breakdown with Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://www.bentpinecapital.com/), who dissects the Federal Reserve's latest rate cut. Did the Fed stay too tight for too long—and are they now quietly reversing course to avoid a liquidity crisis? John and Scott explore inflation, growth forecasts, quantitative tightening, and the high-stakes question of who Donald Trump may select as the next Fed Chair. Finally, the hour closes with concerns over government accountability, as callers question whether federal programs meant to help small businesses are instead enriching powerful corporations. Is the system course-correcting—or simply reacting too late? Hour 3 pulls no punches and leaves listeners with critical questions about who's really steering the economy and the country's future.

Contact Welcomed HereWhen we are accountable things add up so we feel like we count. Absolute Reality has no reservations or exceptions. We can think IT does and feel isolated and alone while nursing baseless thoughts. We do not need to understand any story we make-up to recognize the disturbing effects caused by sick thinking. The idea that facing Reality is complicated is not true. Trying to avoid it for any length of time is infinitely more complicated than facing it honestly. We Know We Know and are also readily and obviously aware even while and when we think and this say we aren't. We are free to choose to think whatever and however we think so when we create a sense of condemnation and doom it is the sum of how and what we are thinking about things that is felt. Practicing this is talking about how and what you think openly and honestly as thought. Taking seriously the idea that thoughts are reality turns the idea of expressing what we are thinking openly into a seeming external threat - that does not feel funny no matter how silly the premise. Honesty does not require we be right. Honesty includes talking openly about whatever we are thinking about right or wrong. To chronically think thoughts are right and never apply them is like sitting in the couch all day wondering how to be productive. Thinking we ever keep these ideas to our seeming self becomes another secret we think we can keep even while we secrete blood, sweat and anxious, pitiful tears. Self-pity reflects the pitiful useless self we think is all we are. Usefulness is determined by how well we read our body language. Our functional literacy determines the degree to which we utilize our full functional capacity. If our limited thoughts are imagine to be Reality the potential to rehabilitated and redeem any useless thinking will, by choice, be limited as evidence our wrong thoughts are right. We can create a mess and then blame the mess for the scarcity of our situation. This only makes sense in induced insanity. To impose doubt where there is none is something we are free to do - but it doesn't make any sense beyond the limited ideas we make believe are our own seeming reality and truth. The basis of Existence is Absolute and thus so is Nature. The nature of Nature is our nature; no exceptions, no other options, no doubts since there is no question. All the questionable doubts we encounters are not mysteries of the universe but a mystery as to why we don't bother to simply mention them. We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature's Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health. Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion. Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try. Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality.
They survived some of the Afghanistan War's most grueling and treacherous missions. But once they evacuated to the U.S., many Afghan fighters who served in "Zero Units" found themselves spiraling. Among their ranks was Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the man charged with killing one National Guard member and seriously injuring a second after opening fire on them in Washington, D.C. on Thanksgiving Eve.NPR's Brian Mann spoke to people involved in Zero Units and learned some have struggled with mental health since coming to the U.S. At least four soldiers have died by suicide.

What if everything you've been told about alcohol and health is wrong—or at least incomplete?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Laura Catena, a Harvard and Stanford-educated physician and fourth-generation vintner behind Argentina's legendary Catena Zapata. As the driving force behind the 'In Defense of Wine' campaign, Dr. Catena is not here to tell you that wine is a miracle cure—she's here to cut through the noise and present what peer-reviewed science actually says about moderate alcohol consumption.Dr. Catena believes the current conversation around alcohol and health has veered away from accurate science, reduced to oversimplified headlines that ignore nuance. She walks us through two landmark reports—one from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and another from the American Heart Association—that challenge the prevailing black-and-white narratives. These aren't studies cherry-picked to support the wine industry; they're comprehensive reviews that acknowledge both the potential benefits and real risks of alcohol consumption.In this episode we discover what moderation actually mean? We explore the breaking research on wine and health, but we also zoom out to examine the larger picture: the undeniable dangers of smoking, the rapid rise of weight loss drugs and cannabis, and how industrialization and processed foods have fundamentally reshaped both what we consume and our overall health. Dr. Catena argues that informed decision-making requires understanding the full spectrum of evidence—not just the parts that fit a particular narrative.Whether you're a wine lover, a health enthusiast, or simply someone trying to make sense of conflicting headlines, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective grounded in science, context, and honesty.

Waylon speaks with the Elephant community about the trap of positivity and how it can actually do the opposite of what we think, and result in us turning away from the outside world and instead showing up in the world in a more cold or withdrawn manner. Instead, if we are accepting, and powerful, and courageous, and brave, and vulnerable, by opening up to the world around us as it is—reality—we can hear, and learn from it and instead of sitting in stress or fear of hearing it, we can say, how can I help? How am I a part of this? And those are good questions to ask, because they then allow us to look at solutions. "Our hearts are not available if we're concerned first with feeling happy and relaxed. When our loyalty is to feeling happy and relaxed, it's actually a very stressful place to be because we're constantly trying to push away negative things and cling to positive things." ~ Waylon H. Lewis

Unmasking Hidden Sugars in 'Healthy' Drinks: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, examines the surprising amounts of sugar found in commonly perceived 'healthy' drinks. She discusses how beverages like energy drinks, fruit smoothies, and chai lattes can exceed the daily recommended sugar intake, based on a study by Ben's Natural Health. Leyla warns that even health-focused products and homemade drinks can contain high sugar levels, which can impact weight, blood sugar levels, and overall health. She emphasizes the importance of being an 'ingredient sleuth' and making informed choices.

This morning, Don is taking a hard look at the state of the economy, and let's be honest, it's bad. Prices keep climbing, families are feeling the squeeze, and according to a new AP-NORC poll, Donald Trump's approval ratings are continuing to fall. Despite the mounting evidence, the Trump administration is still insisting everything is fine. Reality says otherwise. Then we pivot to breaking news out of Congress: Marjorie Taylor Greene is reportedly trying to oust Speaker Mike Johnson on her way out the door. Yes, really. Even as she prepares to leave Congress, she's lighting one last match, and the MAGA infighting just keeps devouring itself. Economic denial. Political chaos. A movement eating its own.

Ep. 226 What happens when we finally stop hiding our pain and start writing our truth? I'm excited to introduce you to my upcoming anthology, In the Pursuit of Fearless Living: From Wounds to Wisdom, and one of the incredible women featured in it—Leatrice de Bruhl. Her chapter, “Scars That Speak of Strength,” is a powerful testament to what it means to rise after life has broken you open. Leatrice takes us inside her journey through abuse, injustice, and the unimaginable loss of her son Malik. She shares how grief brought her to her knees, but also how God rebuilt her from the inside out. Her willingness to break her silence—and help other women break theirs—is exactly why I chose her for this anthology. This conversation is raw, faith-filled, and overflowing with wisdom. If you're navigating pain, questioning your strength, or wondering how to rise again, Leatrice's story will remind you that healing is not a moment—it's a series of courageous choices to stand back up.

On our journey to Christmas today we stop at a movie that exams family, dysfunction, communication, and laughter as we arrive on the "other side." As we look through the lenses of laughter we begin to understand that all families have the quirks, trials, and chaos. The question is where does love, faith, and forgiveness fit in. This is a "worth the watch" kind of movie as we get closer and closer to Christmas Day.
In this Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2025 session—moderated by Stu Dyer (CBRE) with panelists Aad den Elzen (Solar Turbines/Caterpillar), Creede Williams (Exigent Energy Partners), and Adam Michaelis (PointOne Data Centers)—the conversation centered on a hard truth of the AI buildout: power is now the limiting factor, and the grid isn't keeping pace. Dyer framed how quickly the market has escalated, from “big” 48MW campuses a decade ago to today's expectations of 500MW-to-gigawatt-scale capacity. With utility timelines stretched and interconnection uncertainty rising, the panel argued that natural gas has moved from taboo to toolkit—often the fastest route to firm power at meaningful scale. Williams, speaking from the IPP perspective, emphasized that speed-to-power requires firm fuel and financeable infrastructure, warning that “interruptible” gas or unclear supply economics can undermine both reliability and underwriting. Den Elzen noted that gas is already a proven solution across data center deployments, and in many cases is evolving from a “bridge” to a durable complement to the grid—especially when modular approaches improve resiliency and enable phased buildouts. Michaelis described how operators are building internal “power plant literacy,” hiring specialists and partnering with experienced power developers because data center teams can't assume they can self-perform generation projects. The panel also “de-mystified” key technology choices—reciprocating engines vs. turbines—as tradeoffs among lead time, footprint, ramp speed, fuel flexibility, efficiency, staffing, and long-term futureproofing. On AI-era operations, the group underscored that extreme load swings can't be handled by rotating generation alone, requiring system-level design with controls, batteries, capacitors, and close coordination with tenant load profiles. Audience questions pushed into public policy and perception: rate impacts, permitting, and the long-term mix of gas, grid, and emerging options like SMRs. The panel's consensus: behind-the-meter generation can help shield ratepayers from grid-upgrade costs, but permitting remains locally driven and politically sensitive—making industry communication and advocacy increasingly important. Bottom line: in the new data center reality, natural gas is here—often not as a perfect answer, but as the one that matches the industry's near-term demands for speed, scale, and firm power.
TNF Recap Fantasy vs Reality and Michigan Coach Fired Update
This one's for every parent staring at their older teen or college-age kid thinking, “Why aren't you moving? Why aren't you launching?” You did the “right” things: good schools, good neighborhood, bank accounts, maybe even a car and a debit card. One kid takes off. The other is stuck on the couch, overdrafting their account and dodging responsibility. And you're wondering if you screwed this up.In this 12 Days of Giving episode (running daily from 12/12–12/23), I sit down with financial therapist Ashley Quamme to talk about the emotional gut-punch of raising very different kids in the same house. She walks us through the story of Mike and Michelle – two daughters, same parents, same environment… wildly different motivation and money behavior. One kid is the “easy” high-achiever. The other? “Bless her heart” energy all day. And it's slowly grinding these parents down with guilt and resentment.
Reality is simply the unfolding of countless causes across time, and our problems arise when we resist what is, rather than accept it. Our minds become disturbed due to personalization, judgment, and the suppression of experiences we can’t handle, which results in inner energy blockages (samskaras). Spiritual liberation means learning to handle reality exactly as it is, letting go of suppression and control, and allowing the natural energy of life to flow through us without obstruction. This leaves us in a state of clarity from which we can make decisions that are in harmony with life, rather than fighting with it. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer.

I've been seeing a disturbing trend online where women claim that "incredible men are just average women," implying that men are simply playing catch-up to a female baseline. In this episode, I dive into the dangers of this "female supremacy" narrative and what I call the "Patriarchy Virus," which frames men as the root cause of every societal problem. I also break down why judging men by female metrics destroys relationships and discuss the immense, often overlooked effort it takes to chisel yourself into an exceptional man.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 The "Incredible Men Are Just Average Women" Narrative01:43 Introducing the Patriarchy Virus03:09 The "One Up, One Down" Relationship Dynamic05:10 Society Values What Men Contribute, Not Who They Are06:23 Identity: Community vs. Competency08:52 Why Modern Culture Demonizes Hierarchies10:04 Applying Female Metrics to Male Psychology11:50 Misandry and the Contempt for Men14:14 The Reality of Women Who Buy Into This Narrative16:03 It Is Hard to Craft Yourself Into a Great Man***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

We preview the Dolphins' Monday Night Football showdown with the Steelers as Omar Kelly stresses that you can't belittle any victory in this league — a win is a win, especially during a four-game winning streak. He also dives into why Tua's recent play feels reminiscent of Ryan Tannehill's Miami days, explaining that Tua's physical durability is the bigger concern and that losing Tyreek Hill has clearly contributed to his decline. Still, Omar believes “it's a Dolphins problem, not a Tua problem.” We close by highlighting how Miami's rookies have stayed bought in and are finally turning the corner.
