Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including leaked audio exposing a dramatic meltdown inside CBS News as veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley publicly attacked Bari Weiss and other new leadership amid growing chaos, layoffs, and distrust inside legacy media; Mexican authorities uncovering a massive underground cartel tunnel stretching toward the United States packed with drugs, ammunition, and smuggling equipment, reigniting the border security debate; and outrage after Jose Medina-Medina, the illegal immigrant accused of murdering Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman, was reportedly caught with a homemade weapon behind bars, fueling renewed scrutiny of Biden-era immigration policies and public safety concerns, and much more.

   The Kansas Jayhawks get exactly the kind of break it takes to have a magical season as Oklahoma wins at Georgia Tech.  Tech was the top team left in the tourney and would have hosted KU with a win.  Instead, Tech is toast and OU is coming to Lawrence.  This thing just got real!    We got a sneak preview of the new Morton Amphitheater Monday night in Riverside and you're going to love this place.  KC needed it, we deserve it and our quality of life just got a little bit better.  You almost feel like it's too nice for an outdoor venue!    Multiple reports indicate President Trump had a very heated phone call with Israel's Bibi Netanyahu and it was pretty ugly.  We discuss what it could all mean.    The Kansas Governor's race got wild Monday, just before the official filing deadline.     A dude with too much time on his hands checked out all 32 NFL team websites and provides a list of teams that don't celebrate, mention or recognize pride month.  We have a crazy new poll for GOP presidential nominee in 2028, you have to hear how Vance v Rubio is shaping up.    The Royals are undefeated in June!  Yes, the team got a nice win but we have some player rankings for you that explains exactly why the Royals are so bad.     The Rams make a big trade, a Super Bowl quarterback is retiring and become an announcer and we've got the first set of confirmed celebrities for the Travis and Taylor wedding.

June's Your Movie Rocks welcomes back Zev Burrows, who has used his guest power to achieve two very important tasks at once: first, he has made himself a true Steven Spielberg completist by assigning both himself and Mandy the storied director's 1941, also known as The Spielberg Joint Almost No One Likes.  He has also given Mandy the dubious privilege of perhaps being the only person alive who has seen 1941, but not Raiders of the Lost Ark.  Tune in to hear various theories on what the hell Steven thought he was doing with this film, how much of it actually works, a highly educational digression on John Williams, and why Zev is already gearing up for a second viewing.

Birth/Rebirth (Moss 2023) Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of the 2023 film Birth/Rebirth. This is a vaguely Frankensteinian film, that addresses control of women’s bodies from a unique perspective.  We very much appreciate a novel take especially given the current political climate. Laura was really impressed with the dominant read of the film as well as the representation of pregnancy, IVF, and prospective motherhood. Marshall had concerns of a possible contested reading of the film as critical of fetal science and respecting the choices of pregnant women. There is lots more of our podcast!

The G.U.Y.S were MIA this weekend but we had the first of many Make the Cut Parlays CASH BIG!!We will still throw out some Hang The Banners, Shambles Meter, and talk Other Relevant Sports News.

We are once again asking the 9-1-1 writers' room to be brave. Be bold. Be intentional.In this Fandom on the Rocks bonus episode, we're looking ahead to Season 10 of 9-1-1 and laying out our very reasonable, completely measured, not-at-all-unhinged wishlist for what we want from the next season.Some of these wishes are mild-mannered expectations. Some are pipe dreams. Some are pure crack. All of them are delivered with love, frustration, and the deep spiritual exhaustion of two people who are, frankly, tired Grandpa.An incomplete list (you have to listen to the episode for the full experience, obviously):Buddie canon, obviously — but as a choice, not a crisis. No more near-death experiences as romantic shortcuts. We want Buck and Eddie to choose each other because they have already built the life, the family, the trust, and the deeply suspicious platonic marriage.The bottle episode agenda — two couches, a kitchen table, the firehouse, and people actually talking to each other. CPR recertification? Station inspection? Power outage? We don't care. Lock them in and let the character work happen.A wildfire that actually means something — Los Angeles is their home. Let the big disaster be about the community they serve, not just another round of “how can we almost kill the 118 this time?” Also, yes, burn down South Bedford and make Eddie move in with Buck. We said what we said.Group hang for joy — not a funeral, not a wedding, not a hospital, not a crisis. Give us a barbecue, a beach day, a game night, karaoke, softball, something. This show talks about found family all the time. Let us actually see the family.Emergency lightning round — influencer immersive experience gone wrong, wellness retreat horrors, science fair explosions, cruise ship dock chaos, revisiting elevator trauma with consequences, and a CPR training cold open where everyone roasts each other's compression technique. Because silly emergencies are fun.And, because we are us, we also discuss crop tops (obviously), drag brunch, Christopher needing an actual storyline, May and Ravi's developing romance, Maddie and Chimney in their leadership roles, Eddie Diaz as a queer-coded man written so loudly we are all begging the show to notice, and why Season 10 desperately needs one thing above all else: Intentionality.Show us the storyboard. Show us the wall. Know where these characters are going when you start writing. Let big things mean something. Let the emotional arcs actually arc. We are paying adult money to watch this show. Give us the goods.As always, we complain because we love this show. We want 9-1-1 to be the best version of itself, and we want Season 10 to remember that the show is strongest when the emergencies are wild, the characters are grounded, and the found family actually feels like a family.Drop your Season 10 wishlist in the comments. What are you manifesting? What are you begging for? And how many crop tops is too many crop tops? Trick question. The limit does not exist.xoxo,Fandom on the Rocks

This episode is a wild ride, folks! Jeana is back from a whirlwind weekend, having attended a wedding in Grand Rapids and a music festival in Denver, where she got to see some amazing performances, including a concert by Cage the Elephant. But it's not all fun and games - they're also discussing some serious topics, like the ongoing situation with Iran and the potential for a nuclear reactor to be built in Aurora, Colorado. This episode covers a wide range of topics, from politics to music to business. Ross and Jeana chat with the newly elected chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, Craig Steiner, about his plans for the party and how he hopes to overcome the challenges they're facing. They also talk to Brett Friedman, the owner of DTC Slice, a popular pizza joint in Denver, about the ins and outs of running a successful restaurant business. And, of course, they dive into some lighter topics, like country music and the best pizza crust in Colorado. So if you're looking for a podcast that's a little bit of everything - politics, music, business, and humor - then this episode is for you. Join Ross and Jeana and their guests as they discuss the issues of the day and share some laughs along the way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are there ROCKS in YOUR schedule? ROCKS are IMMOVABLE commitments. Those priorities that are unchangeable.  As a working Christ-follower, what are some of YOUR ROCKS? Here are some of mine: Time with the Lord. Family commitments. And anything I have given my word to, to be there.  Is WORK one of YOUR ROCKS? If it is, maybe it's time to look at that rock, and decrease its size, or the amount of space it's taking on your calendar. Don't' let Luke 20:18 define how you live and manage your life:  "Everyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on." So how about YOU?  Is work a stone YOU'RE stumbling over?  How about crushing that rock and use it to make a path to more time with family?

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Months after Operation Epic Fury, Iran's leadership is reportedly still operating from bunkers and secret hideouts, with regime paranoia and communication breakdowns now slowing negotiations with Washington. New reporting suggests Iran's supreme leader is relying on a secret courier network to communicate as fears of Israeli and American intelligence penetration continue gripping the regime.  British forces are reportedly preparing for a possible mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if a peace agreement with Iran moves forward. The operation could involve autonomous mine-hunting systems designed to clear one of the world's most strategically vital shipping lanes.  A devastating suicide bombing targeting a train carrying Pakistani security personnel and their families kills more than 30 people in Pakistan's volatile Balochistan province, marking another escalation in the region's growing separatist insurgency.  And in today's Back of the Brief—another sign of warming relations between Washington and Caracas as the head of U.S. Southern Command visits Venezuela while Marines conduct a dramatic embassy response drill in the capital.

The workforce is aging faster than at any point in human history, and most organizations are responding by quietly writing off the very people who hold their hardest-won knowledge. Dan Pontefract calls the cost of that denial AgeDebt, and he believes it's building toward a crisis as slow-moving and as expensive to ignore as climate change.In this conversation, Dan Pontefract joins Charles Good to make the case that age is an asset, not a liability, and that the organizations willing to act now can convert their Age Debt into what he calls the Experience Dividend.Drawing on his new book The Future of Work Is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce, Dan throws out the tired generational labels (Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z) and replaces them with a more useful lens: Rivers(early-career, curious, fluid), Rocks (mid-career, resilient, the bridge generation), and Rubies (later-career, wisdom polished by time). His argument is both a wake-up call and a blueprint: the future of work is grey if leaders stay stuck in habitual patterns, but it can be gold if they learn to put Rivers,Rocks and Rubies on stage together.Whether you see yourself as a River, a Rock, or a Ruby today, this episode will give you a new language for one of the most overlooked sources of value in any organization, along with the everyday habits to start building it tomorrow.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat "Age Debt" actually is, and why Dan compares it to climate change: a slow-moving crisis leaders have had the data on for decades, where the cost of doing nothing compounds quietly until it's enormous to fixThe Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies framework - three career-stage archetypes that replace birth-year labels, and why Dan says generational branding is actively harmful to good decision-makingWhy ageism is "the last socially acceptable -ism": the comments and assumptions about age that still pass unchallenged when equivalent remarks about race or gender never wouldHow ageism hits all three groups - Rivers dismissed as "not ready," Rocks written off as "stuck," Rubies treated as "expired" and Dan's own experience of being seen as both "too young" and "too old"The grey-to-gold mindset shift - what keeps organizations stuck in habitual patterns, and what changes when leaders stop fighting experience and start designing around itThe Experience Dividend - the measurable value of integrating insight, mentorship, and continuity across every age in your workforceEveryday Age — the small, repeatable habits any leader can start tomorrow to move from age-aware to age-savvy, no corporate program requiredAbout Dan PontefractDan Pontefract is a leadership strategist, keynote speaker, and author of several influential books on work, culture, and leadership, including Lead. Care. Win., Open to Think, The Purpose Effect, and Flat Army. His latest book is The Future of Work Is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce. His work focuses on helping organizations rethink how they create value through their people across every stage of life and career.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Age Debt and the Aging Workforce03:13 Understanding Age Debt and Its Implications05:20 The Demographic Apocalypse and Longevity Issues08:21 The Impact of Ageism in the Workplace11:00 the Gray vs. Gold Metaphor in Work13:54 Rethinking Generational Labels: Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies21:21 Personal Experiences with Ageism30:39 The Ruby Experience: Working Beyond Retirement36:24The Double Loss of Aging WorkforceSubscribe to The Good Leadership Podcast: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠] | [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠] | [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/charlesagood⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack Channel (Outlearn to Outperform): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠charlesgood.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn Newsletter (The Outlearn Advantage): [⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠]

Pentecost is weirder than we usually let it be.In this episode, we're keeping it simple and talking through three mystical and slightly strange things about Pentecost: the Holy Spirit as holy possession, the Holy Spirit as contagious joy, and Pentecost as the reversal of the Tower of Babel.This is not a giant theology lecture. Just a coffee-sipping reflection on fire, joy, language, and the strange beauty of the Holy Spirit dwelling within the Church.Come, Holy Spirit.

"Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak." (William Congreve)It is often said that music is healing, but what are some ways that this truism plays out in practice? Jon Batiste recently collaborated with Joanne Loewy of Mount Sinai on a study that advances “social music” as a prescription for better health outcomes. That's just one angle. This hour, guest host Mona Seghatoleslami talks about the benefits of music on healing and health, particularly mental health, in our community and world. We discuss music therapy and expressive arts with Jennifer Philips, a board-certified music therapist and neurologic music therapist, specializing in early intervention, elder care, and neurorehabilitation. She is also chair of the Expressive Arts Department at the Hochstein School. Annika Bentley shares her experiences as a classical choral musician and singer/songwriter, focusing on the upcoming Mount Hope World Singers concerts, "Bright Threads." The program reinterprets historical and cultural examples of music used for healing, and centers on themes of shared humanity and restorative connection.

How can we move from fearing equity to championing it?    In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Celeste Warren, former Vice President and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer at Merck and author of The Truth About Equity. With nearly three decades of experience, Celeste has been recognized by Black Enterprise's "Top Executives in Global Diversity and Inclusion."   Celeste's father was the first black teacher and principal in western Pennsylvania. She shares how her "dinner table lessons" taught her that while obstacles are real, they are never an excuse to stop succeeding. She opens up about the internal struggle of stepping into a DEI role as a woman of color and how she learned to stop "putting her blackness to the back." She shares powerful lessons for rising leaders: The Rocks and the Fence. Equity isn't about taking things away; it's about providing the "rocks" needed to see over systemic fences while we work to tear those fences down. Boil Your Own Pot. You don't have to save the world alone. Impact starts by influencing the two or three people immediately around you. Growth vs. Fixed Mindset. View opportunity as a bar graph that can rise infinitely, rather than a finite pie where one person's gain is another's loss. Embrace Your "Lock and Load" Energy. Learn to balance your drive with a "servant leadership" heart that nurtures and protects your team.   Celeste's journey to global DEI leader is a wonderful model of authenticity and intentionality.   Get full show notes and more information here:  

How many encores can one scandal have? There were more fireworks as RTÉ director general Kevin Bakhurst and his executives found themselves brought before yet another tense Oireachtas Media Committee. Emotions were high as the payment status of late Arena presenter Seán Rocks and the perilous situation of his family were brought to light and challenged. Elsewhere, similar question marks were applied to Oliver Callan, Tommy Tiernan, Derek Mooney, George Lee and Kevin Bakhurst himself. So, where does this saga go from here? And how is the future of Patrick Kielty as the host of The Late Late Show tied in? On this Extra episode of The Indo Daily, host Kevin Doyle is joined by Irish Independent Ireland Editor Fionnán Sheahan to break down the latest revelations and rancour.

Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for a wide-ranging conversation on some of the biggest and most controversial topics in sports. The discussion starts with the NCAA investigation into Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who is accused of placing nearly 10,000 online sports wagers — including bets involving his previous team while redshirting. Jake and Mick debate whether college sports gambling rules are protecting the integrity of the game or becoming too restrictive in the modern era. The guys also react to the NAACP's call for Black athletes to avoid playing at southern schools over political redistricting battles in states like Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. Could a boycott actually impact SEC recruiting? Jake explains why he believes NIL money, NFL development and playing opportunities still drive most recruiting decisions. Plus, Mick shares his thoughts on Pete Rose, baseball ethics and whether Rose's lifetime ban should have been lifted before his death. The conversation also takes a hilarious turn with personal stories involving horse racing, a bachelor party hot streak, and a mistaken identity involving Hootie & the Blowfish. Topics include:

Where Dave, Whitney, and Doug celebrate the final episode of Cabin Conversations by reflecting on Whitney's 12+ year journey at Woodlands Church and the transformative power of Christ-centered community. They explore how relationships shape us slowly over time, why we need community before trials come, and what makes Woodlands such a healthy church culture. The conversation touches on upcoming changes at the church, the importance of small groups (while acknowledging they're not the only path to community), and favorite moments from five seasons of podcasting. Whether you're in vocational ministry or simply seeking deeper connections, they remind us that gathering around Scripture with people isn't complicated—it just takes intentionality.

On Other, Other Life Forms The quest for other life forms must be anchored in the knowledge of why we're even here. Let's get nitpicky. Also, unapologetically religious in nature, though the points stand on merit regardless. This isn't a screed against space travel, for looking up, even beyond, is worthwhile. Rather, the aim is to properly frame our search through understanding what exactly is “other life” and where exactly is “out there.” The terminology “other life” or “other life forms” is presumptuous in nature, as it can only be asked within a vacuum which denies the existence of myriad life forms on planet Earth. Not only are there other life forms aplenty, but the range, capacities, colors, designs, etc., etc., etc., are so diverse and so far-ranging that not a single planet in our system comes anywhere close to dreaming of similar potential. Even more, every part, planet, and particle in space lends to the preservation of life on earth in some way. Almost as if it's all here for us. Per Torahic categorization, there are four general kingdoms in creation. The so-called lowest is “silent”, for the predominately inanimate basics of existence, water, soil, rocks, minerals, and the like that comprise it have a lifeforce so quiet it's barely noted. Thus, we view creations in this kingdom as existing but not exactly alive. The next kingdom is “growth”, essentially plants and all vegetation where growth is usually visible and indicative of the lifeforce within. Third is the “life” kingdom, which includes all creatures from insects to birds to marine life to mammals, as each overtly display an animating lifeforce not only through growth, but also some measure of mobility, intelligence, communication, or similar. The final kingdom is “speaker,” aka man, the only kingdom made in G-d's image. The lifeforce within man is undeniable, not only for all previously specified reasons, but also because, unlike the other kingdoms, man goes beyond a measure of intellect in his ability to communicate ideas, teachings, morality, ethics, and abstractions to others, mainly through speech. For this display of what's deemed higher intelligence, man is considered the highest of the four kingdoms. With that set, our quest for other life begins with understanding why these four kingdoms aren't life forms enough. The “silent” kingdom covers just about everything that isn't obviously alive. For example, the four building blocks of creation, earth, water, air, and fire. The varying parts of our atmosphere which cause the sky to blaze at sunrise and sunset. The very earth from which all things grow, as well as rolling hills, fertile valleys, and majestic mountain ranges. Gentle waters which calm the soul and raging waves which quicken the heart. Rocks which stand against the fiercest winds, but also caves and crevices sculpted over time. Geodes, crystals, stalactites, stalagmites, in shapes and colors man cannot always describe or name. All are “silent” in their steadfast, unchanging existence. In the context of our quest, any discovery within the “silent” kingdom doesn't qualify as an other life, not only because some forms within this kingdom have already been discovered in space, but also because the categories within this kingdom literally don't display signs of life. Never mind that the “silent” kingdom sustains every kingdom above it, revealing it may not be quite so lowly a kingdom as supposed. Either way, our search mandates we find a form that's obviously alive. Ergo, despite the wonders and marvels of the “silent” kingdom, our exploration continues. Does the “growth” kingdom qualify as another life form in our search? Do we seek proof of some sort of life beyond moss and ferns and fungi and flowers and vegetables and fruit and trees? Well, yes and no. We'd be thrilled to find any kind of vegetation, as long as it's not here. In other words, we want what we have here, just somewhere else. Then again, we don't have to find an exact replica of Earth, only something that's entirely like it but on a different planet. Plants show life in their visible growth, and are incredible dynamic doing so. Plants can run rampant and wild, plants can be domesticated and tamed; some thrive in the sun and some only open to the moon. They have no eyes, they have no ears, yet they know the difference between night and day, between summer, winter, spring, and fall. They know when it's time to blossom, to shed, to regrow. Even more, there are plants which heal, plants which harm, plants which flavor, plants which sustain, plants which dominate, plants upholding entire ecosystems, and plants which light the way with their glow. Some plants are beautiful, some terrifying, some cooling, some fragile, some stronger than blades. Some plants tower, some are unnoticed, some provide food, shelter, clothes. The “growth” kingdom climbs and clings, flowers, buds, twists, and bends. The above doesn't even include the incredible array of shape and color, which continually startle and dazzle the eye of the beholder. All this is only part of what we know about the “growth” kingdom, for though we live in a highly advanced world, we have yet to discover the full extent of just how many creations call this planet home. As with the “silent” kingdom which sustains it, the “growth” kingdom provides for the kingdoms above it. But while plants are really, really nice and cool and intricate and beautiful and, and, and, we're still set on looking for other life elsewhere. We'd be thrilled to find any of the “growth” kingdom on another planet, even though, as mentioned, it sure seems everything out there is pretty well-suited to the needs of here, but never mind that. We're rather set on finding something new, something obviously alive out there. Onward to the next kingdom. The range of creatures packed into the “life” kingdom is so immense, we cannot in good faith claim to know its entire. The vast, not yet completely discovered “life” kingdom spreads an umbrella wide enough to include every non-human animate life form between plants and people, including insects, marine life, fowl, rodents, reptiles, beasts, cattle, and all the rest of terrestrial creatures. Every country, every state, every ecosystem has a unique web of animals, insects, marine life thriving in its environs. Scientists are perpetually “astonished” at the new kinds and species discovered around the globe, as if this world of ours could ever fully be known. And even where we think to have catalogued it all, creatures of the “life” kingdom continue to surprise with their levels of intelligence, adaptability, and significant role on this planet we call home. Just spare a minute to consider the animals and plants that flourish in all the places humans can't. Only looking at the life contained in the form of insects is a dizzying proposition, for the thousands and thousands we actually know about which fly, walk, scurry, and roll. Insects that regenerate, insects that burrow in the dark and damp and soil, insects that color gardens and make honey and with strength to carry many times their own weight. Insects hum and call and chirp and buzz, spin silk that can be worn or webs that withstand rainstorms. Insects are harmful and harmless, brainless and multi-eyed, soft, hard, airborne, and pliable. We oft overlook the many we come across each day, but would speak of little else were even one to be found out there. Though we have yet to discover every insect dwelling on earth, not one is the other life we hope to find. A moment away from land to plunge into the sea, a world so vast, vivid, and varied, we haven't nearly plumbed its depths. Beneath the waves, beyond our grasp creatures hide in the sand and glow in the deep no human can withstand. There are creatures so tiny they can hardly be seen, yet enough can feed creatures which cannot be missed. Leaping, breaching, scuttling, wriggling, swimming, floating, preying, and flying, in schools and pods and herds and shoals and consortiums and mobs and runs and swarms. Other kingdoms are also found in the sea, sand and coral, kelp, rocks, salt, and shells. Therein a whole world sustains itself, and the kingdoms above it, as well. And yet, though fathoms remain beyond our current ability to explore, relatively far out of reach as the stars, none are the other life we seek. Finding some collection of water that sustains life would shake the world we know, but only if we find it somewhere that isn't here. Amphibians are forms of both water and land, the slimy, shiny bridge between both sorts of life. As with the others of the “life” kingdom, amphibians aren't known in their entire, and the range of what they can do is as far ranging as the category itself. They also have their own unique twists to the norm, as bright colors aren't signs of aesthetics but warnings of danger. Right alongside them are reptiles, including those that sting, bite, and choke. Ones that can swallow prey significantly larger than they, and ones which instantly camouflage to hide in plain sight. What about the life forms of air? Birds don't fit a single mold, and the multitudes well exceed human count. Birds that fly and birds that can't, birds with vision and hearing much keener than man, birds that build nests without hands. Birds sing and twitter, hum, caw, and shriek. Birds dive and hunt, scavenge and hover. Birds sense shifts in the weather, and birds soar on the air. They're cheery and territorial, colorful as flowers and dark as moonless nights. They're predators and prey, oversized and tiny, imitators and instigators. But birds are also something we know in some form, and what we insist on is something we haven't seen before, or at least, something we haven't yet seen out there. And so, the search for other life continues. Perhaps the rest of the “life” kingdom will qualify? The innumerable animals which roam the deserts, plains, jungles, mountains, and forests. From rodents to beasts, from domesticated to wild, there is hardly a color or kind without peer in the “life” kingdom. Animals hunter and hunted, solitary and social, protective and loyal and vicious and tame. Animals that observe, animals that learn, animals that comfort or guide or guard. Animals that defy the fiercest elements of their topography, and animals that adapt or blend in with impressive speed. Animals with a range of communication and expression, animals soft and hard and furry and rough. Animals weighing tremendous amounts, and animals that can shoulder the burden of even more. Animals endure the harshest habitats and conditions, animals hibernate for months or only wake with the night. Animals symbiotic, parasitic, or with an innate sense for assisting others. Between claw, talon, teeth, and paw, the “life” kingdom is as wild and varied on land as beneath the sea. Yet, as we seek other life, we brush all this aside, for, when we're certain there's so much more to discover and know, why continue to look where we always have? What sort of life forms do we then seek, if not any of the myriad already upon this earth? Much as we'd delight in finding the same creatures on a different planet, we're adamant about finding something we haven't seen before to definitively conclude other life exists. Consider, finding life forms which display some growth, with or without the sun, would be enough to fund space travel for years to come, but growth isn't really enough to satisfy us. When we seek other life forms, we don't want something that grows, or even something that moves with overt signs of life, we want something that communicates, especially in ways we don't. Putting aside every other kingdom and category of creation, including all their unique methods of interaction, we'll declare victory in our search for other life if we discover a species that knows how to communicate with what, sound? Gesture? Semaphore? Dashes and dots? No, no, we want something that communicates as a sign of and sharing of its intelligence. Again, putting aside all other kingdoms we know at present, their various modes of communication and ranges of intellect, our search will be a success only if we find different intellects that communicate with ours. About what's relevant to us? About things that confirm our projections of what life and intellect should be? Assuming this isn't a reference to learning about new languages and cultures, what do we really seek? From all kingdoms of creation, perhaps the closest to “speaker” would be spiritual beings, namely angels. And not the cherubic children or glowing berobed humans with wings and halos, but fiery messengers of the Divine. Then again, unless they take a human form, angels, while other life, are not tangible enough to be discovered, so there's little point in centering them in our quest. The highest kingdom of creation is “speaker,” which is only and entirely mankind. Not because we are the only creations with verbal articulation, but because, as the only kingdom made in G-d's image, we are the only kingdom which seeks and learns and communicates about that which is greater than ourselves. The rest of the kingdoms do not have a mind to challenge their Creator nor the nature He embedded within them. Only “speaker” has the choice to live up to his potential in creation, to fight or embrace his inherent design, to imagine and debate and give coherency to the abstract. Essentially, we're looking for other life forms, but not the other life we already know of heaven and earth. This other life may be almost identical to the life we know, or it may be something entirely different than the thousands and thousands we've already found. And perhaps the inability to know it all is what's truly given us hope that there's more out there waiting to be discovered. The emphasis is less on what we seek than on where we want to find it. Considering what's already been mentioned about the categories of creation, the question is why? Is this exploration driven by a simple desire to know and understand and bear witness to the expansive capacity of the Creator? Or is there dissatisfaction with what we have here, and a desire to have different and more threading through it all? If the latter, nothing found will ever be enough, if the former, at least the premise isn't so far afield. So, we're looking for advanced life forms, yet the question compounds, more advanced than us? We've seen clearly that on this planet there are no other creatures quite like man. Creatures who for all their shapes, sizes, and colors don't include the full package of abilities to communicate, procreate, perambulate, and debate. Other kingdoms have no struggles with moral frameworks around which to understand the purpose of existence. If anything, they already know why they're here, so only man grapples with the existential side effects that come with the dissonance of a spiritual soul animating a physical body. Though man is sustained by every kingdom below him, he also has the capacity to be ruler over them, in the sense that if every part of this vast creation somehow leads back to him, his sustenance, his shelter, his clothing, his appreciation, then it follows all was created to be of service to him. In return, he must use all the other kingdoms enable in a way that will honor them. Think of what man has achieved. Think of what more he could. Think of the wonders that man has wrought from the kingdoms of this earth, and then reexamine our search for other life. What do we expect to find to surpass what we already have here? What else but perhaps a different conglomeration of the capacities we already know? Do we cease exploring? Do we ground all ships to the stars? Such questions can only be answered correctly by those with a clear understanding of what we're doing here, as space exploration literally can't occur in a moral vacuum. SomeOne put us here, and He did so for a reason. That Earth is the only planet to sustain such a teeming array of life isn't a fluke of smashing atoms but a signal of deliberate intent. Inanimate life exists on other planets, but an intricate ecosystem that sustains life doesn't. What does it tell you when every entity we know of, both celestial and terrestrial, somehow serves life on earth? It's almost as if we're the point of it all. Which affects the search for other life, because it can only be sought in recognition that everything comes back to our purpose here. The purpose SomeOne launched all creation for, and that is to make Him known in this world. If these other life forms are out there, what for? Is it only so the Creator can show off what else He can do? After everything He created here, does He really need to? Why do we assume this supposed other life is more advanced if we're the central point of all creation? Why do suspect they're advanced, when every celestial entity and kingdom of creation is here to sustain us? Why do we think they can surpass us, when we are the ones made to fulfill the purpose of creation? It's the “speaker's” job to make the Creator known in this world. Man is the only creation that can. Everything and anything else only exist, or is known to exist, to assist man in his sacred task. Do we even know what we have? Do we appreciate what's known, and what can't be known? That said, now we can explore. “Whatever the Holy Blessed One created in His world, he created only for His glory.”

Glenn Kreisberg is a researcher, engineer, author of Spirits in Stone: The Secrets of Megalithic America and co-founder of The Overlook Mountain Center in Woodstock, New York. For this in-the-field episode, we visit a mysterious archaeological site, a mountainside covered in signs of ancient indigenous habitation, enigmatic cairns and serpentine walls. After a reading of early 19th-century accounts from the likes of Lewis & Clark about stone heaps and large stone worship in Native American culture, we begin an intriguing & controversial conversation about the differences in opinion of the origin of the mysterious stone structures littered across the Hudson River Valley. Are they merely the remnants of colonial farm life? Are they much older Native American ceremonial landscapes? Do some have astrological alignments to the stars and solstices? And for what purpose were they made? After touring Overlook Mountain, we hike along a ragged ridge top to what appears to be a megalith perched upon a peg. Throughout are wild musings on possible Celtic influence, the study of orbs, psychedelics and the return of the goddess.Purchase Glenn's book Spirits in Stone: The Secrets of Megalithic America and join his Facebook group Archaeoastronomy and Landscape Archaeology in Northeast America.

Happy Podcast Wednesday!

Some episodes of The Rizzuto Show are carefully planned masterpieces of broadcast excellence.This is not one of those episodes.This is a daily comedy show that starts with rainy weather complaints and somehow escalates into a complete societal breakdown over who gets to sit in the front seat of the car.And honestly? That feels correct.The gang kicks things off discussing gloomy weather, comfort food, rainy day naps, and why St. Louis somehow gets more rain than Seattle despite Seattle acting like it invented clouds. Lern reveals she made a full roast dinner because apparently rainy weather now legally requires slow-cooked meat and emotional support carbohydrates.Then things take a turn.Rizz introduces a viral story involving a mother, a girlfriend, and a front-seat dispute that immediately fractures the studio into multiple competing legal teams. Suddenly everybody has opinions about shotgun etiquette, family hierarchy, relationship politics, respect for elders, and whether yelling “SHOTGUN” inside the house counts or should get you immediately disqualified from civilized society.Moon attempts to establish constitutional-level shotgun laws from childhood. Rafe turns the conversation into a philosophical debate about passenger-seat power dynamics. Lern accidentally reveals she willingly rides the middle seat with her in-laws like some kind of family hostage negotiator. Rizz threatens bodily harm if children touch the radio. Completely normal stuff.The funniest part? The entire conversation becomes weirdly emotional because everybody listening immediately picked a side.Are you Team Mom? Team Significant Other? Team “Whoever calls shotgun first?” Or Team “Nobody deserves happiness and we're all sitting in silence?”Meanwhile, the show also dives into why modern kids don't even appreciate front-seat privileges anymore because they're all glued to their phones anyway. Back in the day, shotgun meant responsibility. You controlled the music. You rolled the windows down. You navigated. You lived.Now? Kids don't even touch the radio.Civilization is collapsing.The episode also takes a serious turn when the crew reacts to a brutal local story involving a Franklin County family being robbed immediately after a loved one passed away. The emotional reactions from the cast — especially Lern sharing a deeply personal family experience involving theft during a funeral — bring real humanity into the middle of all the comedy chaos.Which is honestly what makes this funny podcast work so well.One minute everyone's arguing about car windows creating weird pressure noises. The next minute they're discussing grief, family trust, and people being absolute garbage. Then immediately after that somebody makes a joke about sweaty truck seats and blown fuses.Classic Rizz Show emotional whiplash.This daily comedy show is packed with sarcastic humor, funny stories, weird family debates, relatable relationship drama, St. Louis energy, and the kind of unfiltered conversations that make you yell at your dashboard while driving to work.If you love comedy podcasts, daily humor, funny morning shows, entertainment chaos, weird news, hilarious fails, and the feeling of listening to your funniest friends spiral into nonsense before 10am… this episode is for you.And for the record: Mom probably gets the front seat.
