What does Aston Villa actually play like?It's a question people keep trying to answer with labels. Possession-based. Pragmatic. Ruthless. Transitional. And it's a question that keeps missing the point.This main show uses the goalless draw at Crystal Palace, the looming FA Cup trip to Spurs, and Villa's broader winter form to step back and assess the current questions. Not just results, but method. Not just systems, but intent.There's discussion of why the Palace game told us very little that we don't already know, why defensive control is often mistaken for stagnation, and why Villa's ability to adapt matters more than any single tactical identity. The FA Cup conversation strips away sentiment and focuses on priorities, squad depth, and realism in a congested season.Kamara's structural importance, Tielemans' influence, Watkins' contradictions, and Villa Park's growing authority all feed into the same conclusion. This is not a team chasing an aesthetic. It's a team executing a plan.The Lovers Walk Unlimited Orchestra also return for the new year to celebrate Villa's winter and their midfield maestro.Get a Great NordVPN DealGet a cracking deal on NordVPN with four months FREE & a 30 days money-back guarantee here: nordvpn.com/momsGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMusic production & creation - David MichaelMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

Ruthless tactics. Extreme violence. The loss of huge numbers of their own troops. The deaths of the most opposing troops. What makes a general 'bloody'? And who fits that description best?In this first of four episodes on American Generals, Don and Jonathan Bratten sort through the rolodex of military leaders. Robert E. Lee, John Bell Hood, John J. Pershing or Douglas MacArthur. Who will win this unwelcome title?Major Jonathan D. Bratten is command historian for the Maine National Guard and a regular guest on American History Hit.

On this week's episode, Mike, Callum and Dan reflect on a HUGE away win at Everton, and a point at home against Spurs. Thomas Frank returned to the Gtech and gave us a very Brentford performance… against Brentford. That culminated in a boring 0-0 draw, but there was nothing boring about Keith Andrews' side's win away at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Igor Thiago's hat-trick meant the Bees start 2026 in SEVENTH place, just a point outside of the Champions League positions. We chat about the Vitaly Janelt remontada, Mikkel Damsgaard's inspired return to the XI, and Sunderland at home on Wednesday night. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of the Nonsense Podcast, we kick off a New Year podcast episode with a wild Kelly Fact about how Italians used to celebrate New Year's Eve — by throwing furniture out the window to symbolize getting rid of the old and making room for the new… while also wearing red underwear for good luck. Naturally, this sparks a chaotic discussion about Assassin's Creed lore, how the franchise should've ended, and why Attack on Titan eventually became too much for FNBob despite being one of the most popular anime of all time.From there, we unfortunately (but inevitably) dive back into P. Diddy news, with Henvincible joking about parties returning if he's released, while FNBob fires back with jokes about someone throwing a party inside R. Kelly's old Chicago house — including an uncomfortable conversation about unused bathrooms.The episode shifts into full nerd culture podcast mode as the crew recaps their visit to Gundam Base Chicago, the first Gundam store in the United States, and later being invited to the Sonic Speed Café Chicago grand opening. We talk exclusive merch, themed food, pop-ups, and networking with other content creators and podcasters in the city.To close things out, FNBob taps fully into his ruthless positivity era, acknowledging that 2025 has already been a rough year, but forces the FN Crew to count their wins anyway — from Henvincible's streaming growth, Kelly's dog training success, and the continued growth of the Nonsense Podcast and FN Entertainment. A laid-back New Year reflection podcast episode packed with jokes, pop culture, gaming talk, and real moments.
This week, we're talking all about NCTC's production of Ruthless! — the campy, darkly hilarious musical that turns ambition and innocence completely on their heads.
Imam Mohammad Tawhidi exposes Iran's real power structure, detailing the corruption of the Khomeini family, inner-circle betrayals, and how the regime silences its own. Drawing from personal experience, he explains why Iran's leadership mirrors extremist movements, not religion.
In this episode, Josh Holmes opens up about his path into politics — the early influences that shaped him, the winding steps of his career, and how that led him to co-found the Ruthless Podcast. He dives into why authenticity matters in media, what it’s like navigating today’s fraught political landscape, and the risks of echo chambers and polarization. Along the way, Josh offers practical wisdom to younger voices: the value of genuine relationships, integrity, and staying true to who you are.

In the "Last Meal" segment of Episode 1,119 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards poses the question of the day: If you could choose your final meal before death, what would it be? Inspired by the Ruthless podcast, Edwards ponders his own choices, from a classic steak to local favorites like country fried steak at Martin's, red beans and rice with sausage from McB's, or veal cutlets from now-closed Jackson staples such as the Elite or Mayflower. He emphasizes flexibility, allowing picks from home-cooked meals, current restaurants, or nostalgic spots from Central Mississippi's culinary history. Edwards engages listeners by reading texted and commented suggestions, sparking lively debates on details like white vs. brown gravy, Mexican vs. regular cornbread, and sides such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or fried okra. He reminisces about beloved defunct eateries, including Pizza Inn's pre-franchise pizza, Pizza Express's mozzarella-heavy slices, Scotty's on Terry Road, Dennery's, the Cherokee's roast beef, Gridley's hot barbecue sauce, and even the Elite's enchiladas. The conversation evokes food nostalgia, with Edwards admitting it left him hungry and planning a hearty lunch. The segment wraps with more listener ideas, like rib eye steak sandwiches from Cypress Point, dirty bird sandwiches from Burgers Blues Barbecue, poppy seed chicken from Two Sisters, and crab legs with crawfish, blending humor, local lore, and audience interaction for a fun, appetite-stirring start to the show.
“We do not celebrate Christmas that way.” “We do not read those kinds of books.” “We ‘do not handle, do not taste, do not touch.'” We know our world is full of rebellion against God's law. But many people overreact to moral license with a strict imposing of out-of-context or made-up laws. Faithful saints call this legalism, and Christian fantasy fans know plenty about this. When that influencer or relative rebukes your fantastical interest, how you can respond with grace and truth? Mission update New at Lorehaven: reviews of Ruthless and Shadowcast Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Quotes and notes What Is Fiction Legalism?, E. Stephen Burnett Even If We Like Fantasy and Sci-Fi, We Can Still Practice Accidental Legalism, Marian A. Jacobs 50. Do Christians Really Need Fiction? | Fiction's Chief End, part 1, Fantastical Truth podcast 1. Legalism denies the word of God itself. We've heard and experienced many stories of judgy legalists. Some are worse than others. Some comments are snide asides. I heard one author's work dismissed as “not in the real world.” And yes, I've had people challenge Lewis, Tolkien, other stories. Others rail more on social media against metal music or pageants. But don't confuse these false teachers with people they deceive. Your family members may be confused and repeating memes. In either case, work to overcome defensiveness or bad feelings. Your firm foundation: legalism is anti-gospel; the Bible rejects it. So study the word of God. Don't let legalists ruin that for you! Get into the gospel with the epistles, Romans, and other epistles. Focus on texts like Romans 14, 1 Cor. 8-10, and all of Galatians. 2. Legalism denies the good of God's gifts. Moving to legalistic teachers, they often escape to fantasy worlds. They like alternative realities where people don't like/need stories. You can (kindly) hit ’em with that little rejoinder, see how it works. In either case, be sure you study up on God's creative purpose. Start in Genesis and take this text seriously: it's history in poetry! Pay special heed to the “cultural mandate” in Gen. 1:27-28. Any ignorance of this call also overthrow God's call to family. So no one gets to do preaching or “ministry” minimization here! From this text, learned theologians discern that God is and loves three virtues in no particular order: beauty, goodness, and truth. God also loves to give good gifts to evil men and His children. We get this truth directly from texts like Matt. 7:11 and James 1:17. Sin ruin gifts? Not for studying, praying believers (1 Tim. 4:1-5). 3. And legalism denies God's real world. It is not Christianity, but gnosticism, to despise God's creation. Get your eschatology right, after all the charts and controversies. It's simply flawed to suggest we're bound for a bodiless world. Scripture constantly hints, then promises, a renewed planet Earth. Heaven will come down here, rather than replacing all of our world. Let's get the end of Revelation right about New Heavens and New Earth, Christ's eternal and holy kingdom that restores paradise! For Stephen, this doctrine was key to debunking fiction legalism. It helps me avoid the responses of depression or deconstruction. On good days I feel sympathy and love for sincere fiction legalists. With this solid foundation we can “swashbuckle” them with smiles. We can affirm the need for truth and holiness, but show how it is in fact made-up laws, not God's actual word, that forbid good gifts. And we can show how these stories help us grow to be like Jesus. Com station Top question for listeners When did you confront a fiction legalist? How did you respond? tallgrant liked ep. 290 on YouTube: Happy to see this covered, and even happier to get the other half in the Abolition of Man at least touched on! The position Lewis takes about a very small ruling class who make decisions about all of morality for everyone who comes after very much aligns with the ultimate revealed mission of the N.I.C.E. Not to mention the issues being raised about where a potential soul can come from. I find his look at the outworking and consequences of post-modern thought and reasoning really intriguing, considering that this was all put to paper before the conclusion of the second world war and the mass dissemination of those ideas outside the academic world. Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we looked back on the Left Behind series legacy. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.
Send us a textThis week on The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli dive into the chaos of Ruthless Creatures, the mafia romance where grief, secrets, and unhinged lust collide. Our main girlie, Natalie, has spent five years frozen in heartbreak after her fiancé vanished without a trace—wedding dress unworn, life on pause, trauma fully activated. Then our love interest, Kage shows up: the dangerously hot, broody new neighbor who looks like trouble and feels like destiny. Their chemistry snaps instantly, and the girls break down every stare, every spark, and every “ma'am, don't you see the red flags?” moment. Join the besties as they discuss whether or not they would recommend this dark romance!

Send us a textComplexity is rising, expectations are colliding, and the old playbook is running out of pages. We sit down with author and applied researcher Amy Walters Cohen to unpack the core idea behind her book Ruthlessly Caring to understand how leaders can deliver more value when they replace either-or choices with both-and mindsets that match today's messy reality.We start by mapping the megatrends shaping work for example, ageing populations, climate pressure, AI, regulatory shifts, and why they demand a step change in how we decide, communicate, and execute. From there, we break down five paradox mindsets that help leaders hold tension without freezing: ruthlessly caring (making hard calls with real compassion), confidently humble (projecting credible direction while admitting what you don't know), politically virtuous (coupling ethics with savvy influence), ambitiously appreciative (sustaining high standards with renewal and gratitude), and responsibly daring (protecting the enterprise while innovating with smart guardrails).Amy shares practical ways to find the sweet spot for each paradox, not a bland compromise, but just enough of both poles to work under pressure. We talk psychological safety, radical candour, and how senior behaviour sets unwritten rules faster than any policy. You'll hear how to diagnose overplayed and underplayed tendencies, why team diversity helps but doesn't replace personal growth, and how to start with small, targeted habits that compound into culture change. Whether you lead a regulated function, a fast-scaling team, or a complex portfolio, you'll come away with a sharper language for trade-offs and a toolkit for better decisions.Enjoy the conversation?

This is a fan fav episode. When you think of empathy you may think of being overpowered with feelings and emotions for someone close to you that is having a response to something. Possibly you lump sympathy in the same basket with empathy and toss kindness in for good measure. Stanford professor and psychologist, Jamil Saki, joins me to not only break down the distinction between empathy and sympathy, but also explains the reason that empathy is critical to success and achieving goals. Understanding how empathy is so closely connected to how we advance as communities and build stronger relationships is life changing.
