We started with the Subway Series and how the Mets threw out a bunch of no name pitchers to face Max Fried, and it almost worked. If Cody Bellinger doesn't make that amazing catch and then doubles up Lindor at first. It saved the game for sure. Carlos Mendoza was tossed in the ninth yesterday because of the horrendous strike calls. Pete Alonso will not be doing the HR derby as he wants to enjoy the all star festivities. Juan Soto was not voted to the all star game and some see it as a snub

I kick off episode 196 deep in the middle of Philadelphia's garbage crisis. The municipal workers' strike has turned city streets into a landfill. Mountains of trash tower over people at Princeton and Hawthorne in Mayfair. The city taped off the mess and rerouted everyone to a drop-off at State and Ashburner—when you can find your way past the rats and the stench. I talk to locals like Felix Romelien (“The smell is unbelievable”) and Patrick Glynn (“We're going to have rats here tonight like this”), and we wonder why the city plopped this dumpster 50 yards from Mayfair Elementary. If you've ever driven through this area, you know it's not just gross—it's a full sensory assault.Next, I dive into Netflix's latest nostalgia trip: Trainwreck: Poop Cruise. Remember the Carnival Triumph? That 2013 disaster where a fire killed the power, the toilets stopped working, and the walls literally bled sewage? Netflix brings us talking heads rehashing the “bag it and bear it” saga as if we need another hour of people describing feces in biohazard bags. I riff on how we used to treat broken toilets as front-page news in the Obama era, but now we breeze past political assassinations and wars without a blink. I question why we're reliving this maritime bathroom nightmare and admit I watched the whole doc—while eating my lunch.Finally, I celebrate a tiny hero: Tiny Chef. After Nickelodeon pulled the plug, fans rallied behind our favorite mini-cook. Creators Rachel Larsen, Ozlem “Ozi” Akturk, and Adam Reid raised enough cash to bring the show back to life. I break down their heart-melting video—Chef singing “There's No Business Like Show Business,” the open window blowing breeze through the set, the #savetinychef hashtag—and share why this grassroots rescue warms my cynical heart.If you laughed, gagged, or felt your nostrils flare, hit subscribe.

In June, severe weather in Bemidji left nearly every home and business without electricity and some without running water. The storm hit early Saturday morning on June 21. And on that day, Bluebelle Event Venue in Bemidji had a wedding. Amy and Levi Chandler were expecting 265 guests. The fallout from the storm made it seem almost impossible to pull off the big day. The caterers had no electricity or water to cook with. The florist was trapped at her house behind fallen trees in the driveway. And the wedding venue itself had no power or water. In our series Thank You, Stranger, we talked to Jessa Solheim, an owner of Bluebelle Event Venue, and the bride, Amy, about how the community came together to make sure the Chandlers could tie the knot.

Gary answers email questions that he has received recently about Romans 11 and what "all Israel" being saved means. The most influential and popular view is Dispensationalism and its understanding of this passage is to split it off and push it far into the future. This doesn't work exegetically or contextually, where Paul is talking about his own present day.

Send us a textTyrion isn't dead. But will have to (painfully) test himself for greyscale for the rest of his life. On a detour to a brothel during a fact-finding mission, he's waylaid by a bear-like Westerosi knight who plans to take him to the Queen. Mackelly and Simon wonder which queen?Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister wakes aboard the Shy Maid. His companions have pulled him from the river and are treating his extremities with vinegar to prevent greyscale infection. He must prick his extremities every few hours to check for loss of feeling.He talks to Young Griff (aka Aegon Targaryen) over a game of cyvasse. The young man shares what he's been told of his rescue. When things looked bad in King's Landing, Varys paid a tanner for his baby and smuggled the real Aegon across the Narrow Sea to Ilyrio Mopatis. Tyrion gives the young prince a few useful lessons, in particular not to expect a warm welcome from Aunty Daenerys. And to perhaps go to Dorne and lay his claim to the Iron Throne for himself. Then when they do reunite, it will be as equals.Tyrion visits Selhorys with Haldon. They learn that the Red Priests are singing Dany's praises, that she is Azor Ahai reborn. But that the nobility of the Rhoyne are very much opposed to her thwarting of the slave trade. Tyrion detours to a brothel where he drunkenly encounters a Westerosi knight, who calls him Imp, draws steel, and announces that he'll be taking Tyrion to the Queen.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister whom he recently murdered. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Former Hand of the King.Griff (Jon Connington) - Sellsword in service to Ilyrio Mopatis. Lord of Griffin's Roost. Stripped of his titles and exiled by King Aerys for perceived failures during Robert's Rebellion.Young Griff (Aegon Targaryen) - Griff's foster son. Now revealed to be Rhaegar and Elia's son Aegon. Saved from murder in the sack of King's Landing by a Varys switcheroo.Haldon Half-maester - One of Griff's men.Septa Lemore - Septa who trains Young Griff in spiritual matters.Rhoyne River - Greatest river in Essos.

The flurry of SCOTUS rulings that came down at the end of last week have people on the left freaking out, and many on the right confident in victory. While Stigall is thrilled with the verdicts reached on Friday - he cautions the reality of the ruling isn't quite what many are celebrating. He also says a ruling on parenting and public school is even more important, and the dissenting opinion should be even more alarming and chilling than any other ruling in recent history. Mark Weaver is back to unpack the ludicrousness of the 3 dissenting justices. Plus, the Senate is limping to the finish on the "big, beautiful bill" but not without some changes over the weekend. Changes the House might not like. But with President Trump's pressure and political capital, can he get this bill to his desk by Friday? We'll see.

On this episode of Comedy Saved Me, we sit down with the powerhouse storyteller and stand-up veteran Bret Ernst. Known for his razor-sharp wit, heartfelt honesty, and unforgettable tales from the stage and beyond, Bret opens up about the role comedy has played in navigating life’s toughest moments—from a turbulent childhood and family upheaval to the wild ride of show business. Bret shares hilarious and moving stories about growing up with a single mom, bouncing between Florida and New Jersey, and attending 15 different schools—all while developing the survival skills and comedic chops that would later define his career. He reflects on his Italian-American roots, the chaos of family, and the unique way humor helped him handle adversity, loss, and the unpredictable turns of adulthood. Listeners will get an inside look at Bret’s creative process, his journey from early gigs to acclaimed specials like Principal’s Office and Uncaged, and his philosophy on finding laughter—even in the darkest times. Whether he’s riffing on childhood mischief, the absurdities of marriage and divorce, or the power of storytelling, Bret’s conversation is as honest as it is hilarious. Join us for an episode packed with laughter, resilience, and the kind of real talk that proves—sometimes, comedy really can save you.Support the show: https://takinawalk.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I continue to struggle with pornography. What can I do differently? Did Enoch and Elijah get a special death-free experience from God? I know I'm saved, but for some reason I still get the doubting thoughts. Where is that coming from? Is it okay that I was saved without anyone else present? Are the Canaanites descendants of Cain? How would they be alive after the flood? Can you explain sanctification, holiness, and perfection (completeness) in Christ?
In this message from Pastor Finu, we explore Paul's powerful declaration that he is “not ashamed of the gospel” in the heart of the Roman Empire. Rome offered peace through domination, but Paul proclaims peace through the cross. More than religious advice, the gospel is a royal announcement that Jesus is Lord, and that changes everything. This sermon challenges us to move from passive belief to bold engagement. What if being loved by God also means being called into his mission? With stories of radical transformation and the reminder that salvation is grace from start to finish, this message invites us to live with gospel intent in every part of our lives.
