In the conclusion of Kim Masters' two-part conversation with Barry Diller, the veteran businessman reflects on his time helping build Rupert Murdoch's Fox empire. Diller also criticizes studios for spreading misinformation—citing Oliver Stone's JFK in particular—and weighs in on the now-resolved Trump-Paramount dispute, and the prospect of a David Ellison-led studio. Plus, Paramount's looming merger with Skydance has South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker lawyering up. The duo is eyeing legal action over billion-dollar licensing deals they claim are being undercut. At the center of it all: South Park's future on Paramount+. New execs Jeff Shell and David Ellison are feeling the heat; Matt Belloni and Lucas Shaw are on hand to explain what's at stake.

Headlines and a look at the action in Royal Portrush this week for the 2025 Open Championship. Rory's returning to his home course, Scottie's the favorite, but his putter isn't playing along and will weather be a factor in Northern Ireland? We discuss it all! There's still time to play the Major Golf Challenge- https://933kjr.iheart.com/content/2025-04-03-the-2025-majors-golf-challenge-us-open-edition/ :30- It's Trade Deadline Month Day! We have focused a lot on the offensive needs for the Mariners, but they also need a bullpen piece, so today we take a look at Twins relievers Griffin Jax and Jhoan Duran. Both are ready to make arbitration money, so it seems highly likely that the Twins would look to sell them. Duran added to your lineup would really be something! Brash, Duran and Muni… yes please! His salary won't get in the way and you'd have 2 more years of control. Jax doesn't have the speed of Duran, but he has 66 strikeouts in 41 innings and seems to be improving every month. Makes less money with the same amount of control. :45- It's like the MLB has answered all of Chuck's prayers… well, most of them. He just has a couple more requests and then he's done!

Alpha Hour Exhortation – Episode 1039
Happy Friday, everyone. I haven't had an off week in a while, but it was refreshing. However, after a short break, I'm back not easing in gently. This week's episode gets right to the heart of some of the most broken aspects of our approach to business, people, and technology.We've got one of the biggest companies in the world using intimidation tactics to cut headcount. I'm also breaking down a major tech report showing that the AI “productivity boost” isn't materializing quite how we thought. And finally, I cannot believe some of the claims already coming out on what to expect from GPT-5 before it's even arrived. You'll see that each one is pointing to the same root problem: we're making big decisions from a place of panic, pressure, and misplaced confidence.So, let's talk about what's really going on and what to do instead.⸻Amazon's Relocation Mandate Isn't Bold. It's Reckless.Amazon gave employees 30 days to decide whether they wanted to relocate to a major hub or quit with no severance. It's the corporate version of “move or else,” and it's being masked as a strategy for collaboration and innovation. I break down why this move reeks of fear-based downsizing, what employees need to know before making a decision, and how leaders can handle change like adults instead of middle school bullies.⸻Microsoft's Work Trend Index Reveals a Dangerous DisconnectMicrosoft's latest workplace report says people are drowning in tasks, leaders want more output, and everyone thinks AI is the solution. But it comes with an interesting twist. Turns out AI isn't actually giving people their time back. I unpack the flawed logic many leaders are using, the risky gap between leaders and employees, and why the answer isn't more agents. What we really need is better thinking before we deploy them.⸻GPT-5 and the Singularity Obsession: Why the Hype Misses the PointOpenAI's next model release is on its way and plenty of articles are talking about it ushering in the AI singularity. I'm not convinced, but even if it proves true, the danger isn't the tech. It's how overconfident we are in deploying it without the readiness to manage the complexity it brings. I explain why the comparisons to black holes are (sort of) valid, why benchmark scores don't equal capability, and what history can teach us about mistaking potential for preparedness.⸻If this episode hits home, share it with someone who needs to hear it. And as always, leave a rating, drop a comment, and follow for future breakdowns that help you lead with clarity in a world that's speeding up.—Show Notes:In this Weekly Update, Christopher tackles three high-impact stories shaping the future of business, tech, and human leadership. He opens with Amazon's aggressive and questionable relocation mandate and the ethical and strategic issues it exposes. Then he dives into Microsoft's 2025 Work Trend Index, exploring what it says (and doesn't say) about AI productivity and the human toll of poor implementation. Finally, he takes a grounded look at the hype surrounding GPT-5 and the so-called AI singularity, offering a cautionary lens rooted in data, leadership experience, and the real-world consequences of moving too fast.Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome Back and Episode Overview01:04 – Amazon's Relocation Ultimatum20:30 – Microsoft's Work Trend Index Breakdown40:54 – GPT-5, the Singularity, and the Real Risk49:42 – Final Thoughts and Wrap-Up#AmazonRTO #MicrosoftWorkTrend #GPT5 #OpenAI #FutureOfWork #DigitalLeadership #AIstrategy #AIethics #AIproductivity #HumanCenteredTech

This week we conclude our series Reckless?, exploring the bold, relational, and non-coercive love of God. Today's focus is the tension between suffering and hope, control and trust, certainty and identity.Romans 8 reminds us that even in the groaning of creation, the ache of uncertainty, and the absence of easy answers, God is with us. Not through domination or certainty, but through loving presence, secure attachment, and patient hope.This passage invites us to live as co-laborers with God—not by escaping the tension, but by rooting our identity in God's love and letting that shape how we wait, pray, and participate in the healing of the world.

Was Sean 'Diddy' Combs a Criminal Mastermind or Just Reckless & Rich The federal trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs exposes unsettling details about power, privilege, and alleged criminal behavior at the pinnacle of fame. But a pivotal question lingers: Was Diddy truly a criminal mastermind, deliberately orchestrating a sophisticated sex trafficking and racketeering enterprise, or was he merely a reckless celebrity whose lavish lifestyle spiraled dangerously out of control? In this comprehensive analysis, expert attorney Eric Faddis, a seasoned legal professional with experience as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, dives into the nuances separating deliberate criminality from reckless excess. Eric walks us through precisely how prosecutors are using the RICO statute—typically reserved for mob bosses and organized crime—to paint Combs as a calculated, sinister figure running a criminal enterprise. Yet, the evidence is not without ambiguity. Eric closely examines testimony and evidence from Combs' trial, highlighting areas of potential weakness for the prosecution, including dropped charges and the critical absence of identified co-conspirators. Could the jury interpret these gaps as proof of a weaker-than-expected case? Faddis unpacks how jurors might distinguish clear criminal intent from reckless indulgence and personal dysfunction. Moreover, Eric explores how the graphic nature of certain evidence might emotionally influence jurors, potentially clouding their interpretation of complex legal standards. He analyzes precisely why proving intent and coordination under RICO law is particularly challenging, discussing whether the prosecution might have stretched their narrative too far. Watch this in-depth discussion for a clear, insightful breakdown of the strategies, strengths, and vulnerabilities in this high-profile case. Is Diddy a calculated criminal leader or simply an irresponsible, wealthy man whose questionable behavior went unchecked for too long? Eric Faddis provides essential context and clarity ahead of the jury's pivotal decision.

This week in our Reckless? series, we explore a powerful and surprising truth: God's love is vulnerable. While vulnerability might seem weak or unsafe, the story of Jesus reveals a God who does not grasp at power or rule from a distance, but who gives, descends, and draws near—even to the point of suffering. Paul's hymn in Philippians 2 invites us to take on the same posture: to live not from control or coercion, but from the strength of sacrificial love.To love is to be vulnerable. And to be vulnerable is to share in the very heart of who God is.

Scripture Reference: Luke 15:11-32
Good morning, Radiant! Mike Young is teaching today. Continuing "Summer of Wisdom" in Proverbs: wisdom is rooted in fear of the Lord, fueled by a teachable spirit, and avoiding foolishness. Today: the incredible power of our words.Scripture References: Proverbs 18:21, Proverbs (various), Matthew 12:33-37, James 3, Romans 8:9-11, Romans 10:9-10, Proverbs 6:16-19, Proverbs 11:13, Proverbs 16:28, Proverbs 12:18, Proverbs 15:1, Proverbs 28:23, Proverbs 16:24, Proverbs 25:11, Proverbs 15:4, Proverbs 10:19, Proverbs 17:28Key Points:Words: Weapon & Divine Reflection:Proverbs 18:21: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."Our words, unique to humans, reflect God's image. He spoke creation; we wield similar power.Every word carries spiritual weight: fostering flourishing or destruction. Reckless speech yields bad "fruit"; Spirit-led words bring peace.Words' Source (Matthew 12):Jesus: "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." (Matt 12:34). Words perfectly mirror our heart.Bitter hearts speak cutting words; Spirit-filled hearts speak grace.Jesus warns: "Account for every careless word" (Matt 12:36).Jesus' "harsh" words (e.g., "brood of vipers") were perfectly aimed to expose hypocrisy, unlike our own. He perfectly tamed His tongue.Proverbs on Speech: Death-Bringing:Lying (Prov 12:22): Erodes trust.Gossip/Slander (Prov 11:13): Destroys relationships.Hasty (Prov 29:20): Causes irreversible damage.Contentious (Prov 15:1): Escalates conflict.Flattery (Prov 28:23): Insincere praise entraps.Proverbs on Speech: Life-Giving:Truthful (Prov 12:19): Established forever.Gracious (Prov 16:24): "Like honeycomb, sweetness to the soul."Well-timed (Prov 25:11): Precious, beautiful.Comforting/Gentle (Prov 15:4): Bring healing; "a gentle tongue is a tree of life."Restraint (Prov 17:28): "Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise." Silence can be powerful.Words Shape Eternity:We can't perfectly tame our tongues; only Jesus did. He lives in us!Rom 10:9-10: mouth confession saves. Rom 8:9-11: Spirit in us gives life.God gives us words to proclaim the Gospel, bringing others from death to life. More than avoiding negative speech, actively bringing God's Kingdom.Conclusion:Our words hold incredible power. We're imperfect, but Jesus, the living Word, perfectly tamed His tongue to bring life, even through death. We now partake in His "fruit."Call to Action:At the table, confess foolishness/death-bringing words. Ask God for His ways. Then, stop talking and listen for His voice. Let the Holy Spirit transform your mouth to proclaim good news and bring life. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

On Trinity Sunday—and Father's Day—we reflect on what it means to say “God is love.” This week, we explored the idea of God's love being “reckless”—not in a careless way, but in a bold, self-giving, audacious way that risks for the sake of relationship. The Trinity shows us that God is not an isolated being but a community—Father, Son, and Spirit—defined by mutual love and inclusion.This loving community doesn't just exist within God's self but extends outward to us. God invites us to be part of the divine family—not based on biology, merit, or obligation—but through the freedom of love. This is the kind of love we call “chosen family.” And it's the kind of love God shows us—risky, vulnerable, self-giving—and ultimately, transformational.

Gavin Newsom called enforcing law and order “reckless.” Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the staggering hypocrisy from California's leaders, the Mexican flags flying over violent protests, and what the American people really think, according to new CBS polling on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Fifty-four percent (54%) of the American people are for continued deportations. So, you know what is really reckless Gavin? You know what is chaotic? It's you. “ You're going to lose the optics—Democrats, Left and immigration protestors—if you have a lot of people here illegally and they're waving, not the American flag, but the Mexican flag, as they're committing acts of violence.”
