Podcasts about second place

Society is collapsing all around us and 4 out of 5 dentists say it's because people don't have "Third Places" anymore. Everyone has home, the "First Place." Everyone has work, the "Second Place." But so few of us have the mythic "Third Place" that allows us to hang out, unwind and exist without spending an exorbitant amount of energy. Well, in hopes of saving society, we're turning to video games to find our next leisure space. Andrew has biplanes. Matt has buckets. Todd has battle games.

Episode 5146: Second Place Means Extinction; The Race For AI

Following the third positive weekend in a row for Michael Carrick as Manchester United manager, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to analyse what's different about the players and the performance.There's discussion about the difference between Kobbie Mainoo and Adam Wharton following another impressive performance by the United academy graduate along with the reasons behind the improvement shown by Sesko and why there's so much love from all his team mates.Bruno Fernandes has been one of the most consistent players in the Premier League over the last 6 seasons so Ste compares the level of credit the Portuguese midfielder gets compared to another player who performed well individually in a poorer team - Steven Gerrard.Rio also reveals why he feels Liam Rosenior is getting unfairly treated for the things he says to the media and why Arteta doesn't really mean that he wants his players to play with more freedom and why Kai Havertz's return from injury is a huge positive for Viktor Gyokeres.

There's nothing wrong with second place, says LikeFolio's Landon Swan. His firm's data shows year-over-year web visits for AMD Inc. (AMD) coming toe-to-toe with Nvidia (NVDA). While Nvidia's dominance is set to continue in the new year, Landon likes AMD's potential to catch up as the company moves to full stack AI integration. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

LESSON 328I Choose The Second Place To Gain The First.What seems to be the second place is first, for all things we perceive are upside down until we listen to the Voice for God. It seems that we will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate, and that our independence from the rest of God's creation is the way in which salvation is obtained. Yet all we find is sickness, suffering and loss and death. This is not what our Father wills for us, nor is there any second to His Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our will.There is no will but Yours. And I am glad that nothing I imagine contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your Will that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share that Will which You, my Father, gave as part of me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

This week, Oz talks to Nick McKeown, who is a member of the PM’s Council of Science and Technology, where he advises the British government on the best opportunities for economic growth in the tech sector. And according to Nick, that opportunity is AI Chips. He argues that the UK is in a good position to take second place in the race to design the next generation of AI chips and lays out how the British government can help make that happen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many Christians live a half-hearted faith, treating Jesus as just another priority on their list. However, God doesn't want to be first among many priorities - He wants to be the center around which everything else orbits. The Hebrew meaning of having no other gods before Him means God alone, not God first. When we make good things like career, relationships, or achievements the center of our lives instead of God, they become idols that create chaos and disconnection. True freedom comes when we surrender completely and allow God to be the gravitational center of our existence, with all other aspects of life orbiting around Him.

Get ready for another exciting, laughter-filled adventure on **Remy's Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast**, the show where Florida's most passionate theme park fans come together to talk about all things Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, and beyond! On this episode, **Remy** is joined by **Mike** and **Nicole**, while **Jen** takes the night off to recharge before the big anniversary celebration coming soon. But even with one seat empty at the Roundtable, the energy was sky-high — and the stories? Absolutely unforgettable.The episode began with Remy proudly sharing some spicy news that had everyone cheering: he officially placed **2nd in a chili competition** hosted by **Real Radio 104.1** as part of *The Jim Colbert Show's* Listener's Challenge! The team congratulated him for representing *Remy's Roundtable* in style — proving that he's not only a theme park expert but also a master of flavor. Remy described the competition experience with excitement and gratitude, from the smoky spices to the crowd's energy, and of course, the thrill of taking home that second-place finish.After the cheers and laughter, the Roundtable switched gears to the **latest theme park updates**, and this week's big story came straight from the heart of Walt Disney World. Disney has once again **raised its ticket prices**, including both **single-day admission** and **annual passes**. Remy, Mike, and Nicole dove deep into what this means for park guests, especially families planning their magical vacations. They discussed the reasons behind the price increase, the possible effects on crowd levels, and whether the Disney experience still justifies the cost. Nicole shared some insightful thoughts on Disney's strategy and how the value of the parks continues to evolve, while Mike didn't hold back with his honest foodie's perspective on getting the most bang for your buck inside the parks.Next up, it was time for **Ride of the Week**, where Remy took the team — and listeners — on a nostalgic journey back to **EPCOT's golden era** inside the **Wonders of Life Pavilion**. The featured attraction was none other than the beloved and educational classic **Cranium Command**. The trio relived the clever storytelling, hilarious voice acting, and heartfelt message that made this attraction so unique. They discussed the genius behind its concept — a journey inside the human mind led by Buzzy, a tiny pilot with a big attitude. The group reflected on how the ride combined humor, science, and creativity in true EPCOT fashion. Of course, Remy led the tribute with a passionate, “**Long live Buzzy!**” reminding fans everywhere just how special that little animatronic still is in Disney history.And what better way to close the show than with some mouthwatering food talk? In this week's edition of **Mike's Munchies**, Mike treated Remy to a culinary experience at the **Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort**, where the two explored one of its signature **sushi restaurants**. With detailed flavor descriptions and a dash of humor, Mike guided listeners through the menu, pointing out the must-try rolls, appetizers, and drinks that make this hidden gem a must-visit for any sushi lover. Remy added his own foodie take, comparing textures, flavors, and atmosphere — and together, they painted such a vivid picture that you could almost taste the soy sauce and wasabi through your headphones!Before wrapping up, Remy shared a heartfelt reminder for all listeners to **mark their calendars for October 15th**, as *Remy's Roundtable* prepares to celebrate its **6th Anniversary Episode!** Six years of laughter, theme park history, interviews, music, trivia, and unforgettable friendships. The Roundtable team has grown, evolved, and connected with fans across Florida and beyond — and this milestone promises to be one of their most special episodes yet.

Gaining the series win but slipping out of first place now one game behind Seattle, Steve shares a few takeaways from the weekend mixed with some things that need polishing if the Astros wish to reclaim their spot at the top of the division before it's too late.

About Amy:Although I'm best known as a yoga therapist for my books and teachings on Yoga and mental health, Yoga for Depression (Harmony Books), Yoga Skills for Therapists (W.W. Norton), and my new card deck Yoga for Your Mood (Sounds True), my passion, ever since I picked up a pencil in the second grade, was to write a book with a character like Nancy Drew who could transport me to a world beyond my suburban bedroom. I grew up in Pittsburgh before it was green and beautiful. Like the darkened riverfront lit by the coal fires of J & L Steel, my world view was bleak. I read to find a brighter place in other worlds, and I wanted to write books that could meet that bleakness and transcend it. In pursuit of that desire, I returned to school, earning the Master of Fine Arts in literary fiction from Bennington College Writing Seminars in 2000.My short fiction and poetry appeared in numerous literary journals. I received the Allen Tate Memorial Award for the Short Story and was a finalist for the William Faulkner Award for the Novel and for the Heekin Group Foundation Fellowship for the novel-in-progress. I also received Second Place, in the Writer's Digest Writing Competition for Literary Fiction.I began my love affair with yoga in the late 1980's, after a successful career in television broadcasting that garnered the documentaries I wrote and produced national and regional awards but did not alleviate my chronic depression. When I started practicing yoga daily, with supervision, I was able to titrate off medication and find joy in the world once again. As my practice deepened, I wrote for magazines like Yoga Journal and Yoga International and wrote the first feature article about yoga and depression called “Yoga the Natural Prozac”, which appeared on the cover of Yoga Journal in 1999. My own recovery led me to research and write books on yoga and mental health, and I became passionate about sharing what had helped me heal with others who suffered.In 2004, I founded the LifeForce Yoga® Healing Institute, which continues to train yoga teachers and health care providers in yoga practices appropriate in clinical and yoga therapy settings. I'm happy that the evidence-based yoga protocol for managing mood I developed is in use in health care settings throughout the world. This protocol is featured on audio-visual products, including the LifeForce Yoga series, an award-winning library of evidence-based yoga and meditation CDs and DVDs for mood management.I love yoga and continue to teach workshops and trainings, but a book by my dear yogi brother and friend Stephen Cope called The Great Work of Your Life, set me on a course to reclaim my dharma. I returned to writing fiction in 2016, and though I have written several other novels, TEMPLE DANCER is the first to be published.Amy's WebsiteSupport the show

The Los Angeles Dodgers once again scored only one run, once again on an Alex Freeland solo home run. Tyler Glasnow struggled with his command and four Padres walks came around to score, but without any offense, the Dodgers weren't going to win this game. LA now finds itself in the position of needing a win on Sunday to salvage one game in the series and pull back into a tie with San Diego, but they'll have their work cut out for them with Padres ace Nick Pivetta on the mound. Jeff Snider and Kevin Skinner are here to talk about another dumb, ugly loss for the Dodgers. Tube in all season long! Leave a voicemail or text the Friend of the Show hotline!
