The guys open with Ed basking in the glory of a long-awaited New York Knicks championship after attending multiple historic playoff comeback victories. Brian recaps a trip to Pittsburgh, including a devastating near-miss on a foul ball that may haunt him forever. The show then pauses for an emotional tribute to beloved longtime listener and frequent caller David Bray, whose passing leaves a lasting impact on the Baller Lifestyle community. From there, it's a full RIP roundup featuring entertainers, athletes, actors, coaches, and public figures before diving into sports stories involving Phil Mickelson, bizarre baseball controversies, social media feuds between Sesame Street characters, and much more. The episode closes with Nine Sports, where the conversation drifts into celebrity weddings, microwaved fish, Ted Danson's infamous blackface controversy, and a report claiming Randy "Macho Man" Savage's off-screen activities were every bit as intense as his wrestling persona.

Today on Bit Public Radio, Host Luke Bovard explores the strange and unpredictable world of misconception. Correspondent Angelina Washington reports from Troy, New York, where a Flag Day celebration honoring Uncle Sam escalates into civic confusion, alphabet panic, and unexpected papal involvement. Next, Mandy Keyes investigates food misconceptions at a farmer's market in Pashook, Iowa, where a simple question about tomatoes leads to nightshade conspiracies, unusual educational materials, and some deeply confusing ideas about reproduction. Finally, in her first-ever field report, Gail "Shut Up Gail" Shephard accidentally investigates immaculate conception instead of misconception, uncovering mysterious pregnancies, impossible football outcomes, secret societies, and gardening techniques that defy explanation. Misunderstandings were made. Conclusions were reached. Facts became optional.

When you're routinely described as a crackhead and convicted felon who uses sex workers, it's fair to say your reputation can't get much worse.And so we turn to Hunter Biden. Often labelled the 'black sheep' of the Biden family and a man who's been torn apart in the media.And yet, he is now being lauded (by some) for his attempts at reputational rehabilitation - including a blistering foray on X, where he's taken on his trolls head on. David and Farzana discuss whether going into the lions den is a smart PR move - and why, when you own your mistakes, use humour and honesty, you leave your critics with very little ammo.On the extended edition on BBC Sounds, the multi-trillion dollar PR story being told right now. As Space X prepares to launch on the stock market (with Anthropic and OpenAI closely following behind), what moves are at play to try and get you to part with your cash? Plus, why sitting on the fence can be a really bad PR move. Just ask Elmo from Sesame Street. Famously from The Big Apple, he's infuriated fans of the New York Knicks basketball team for posting a message saying he hopes 'both teams have fun' in the NBA finals. As David and Farzana explain, he's guilty of 'bothsideism.' With the World Cup just around the corner, there's a lesson here for anyone in the public eye.Producer: Duncan Middleton Editor: Sarah Teasdale Executive Producer: Eve Streeter Music by Eclectic Sounds A Raconteur Studios production for BBC Radio 4

Old friend of the podcast Lloyd Bradley wrote Bass Culture, the defining account of reggae, and he's now turned his attention to funk, from its deepest roots and via the jazz, arts, TV, radio and pop culture that flavoured it. The main 10-year focus of ‘Funk Has Its Own Reward' is from James Brown's ‘Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud' to Michael Jackson's ‘Off The Wall' but free your mind and all this will follow! … … the importance of radio being “colourblind” … Cab Calloway's Jive Dictionary and the impact of DJs Martha Jean ‘the Queen' Steinberg and Daddy-O Daylie … how James Brown floor-tested his records and saved a fortune making them … funk's deep roots in America's marching bands … why jazz is funk's closest relative and what it stole from white rock … how the Family Stone's Larry Graham made bass the place … how solo singers gave way to the ‘funk gangs' … how Richard Pryor gave mainstream America a window on a whole new world. … the influence of Soul Train and Sesame Street (19-year-old Nile Rodgers on guitar!) in bringing funk to the masses … George Clinton – “I can't dance, can't play, people tell me I can't sing … but without me none of this would have happened!” … plus the Chambers Brothers, Herbie Hancock, Funkadelic, Bootsy, Quincy Jones, Parliament and the greatest funk record ever made.

June is usually just another month of the year, but the rainbow mafia once again is forcing gayness down our throats. From Wonder Woman becoming trans to gays conquering “Sesame Street,” I break down the madness as corporations, politicians, and pop-culture icons race to out-gay each other. Who's funding anti-ICE activists, and why have deportations slowed down? And what happens if America fails to enforce its immigration laws? Retired Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino joins me to discuss the border, national security, and the political battle shaping 2028. Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) is getting exposed for preying on yet another staffer, but much of the media seems more interested in running cover than getting answers. I dive into the controversy and the double standards dominating Texas politics. ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 ► PreBorn To donate visit http://www.Preborn.com/SARA. ► ShopifySign up for your $1-per-month trial at www.shopify.com. ► Patriot MobileGo to https://www.PatriotMobile.com/SARA or call 972-PATRIOT.

Tonight on Packernet After Dark, the call-in lines lit up with raw Packers fan reactions to the 2026 schedule and the heavy Josh Jacobs arrest news that dropped like a bomb. Callers didn't hold back as they broke down everything from the NFL handing Green Bay a favorable slate to the disturbing charges against one of the team's leaders. Fans were fired up about the home-heavy finish and multiple mini-byes, calling it the perfect setup for a beat-up team trying to push for the playoffs and beyond. The Jordan Love vs Caleb Williams debate got spicy, with callers roasting the over-the-top hype around Williams and questioning whether Kyler Murray actually fixes anything in Minnesota. The Josh Jacobs situation dominated the back half of the show, with serious discussion about the strangulation and other charges, what it could mean for the running back room, and the gut-wrenching reality of the allegations.

What's up Pack fans? On this episode of Packernet After Dark, we're diving deep into the endless entertainment that is Bears fans struggling with basic football concepts.

In this episode of Next Level Healing, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with New York Times bestselling author, CPA, entrepreneur, and financial literacy advocate Sharon Lechter, co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and long-time partner of both the Rich Dad Company and the Napoleon Hill Foundation. Sharon's Origin Story: Money at the Dinner TableSharon grew up lower middle class in a family of entrepreneurs, living between her father's used car lot and her mother's beauty shop, and helping manage rental properties from the age of 10. [4:50] [5:00]Her family also owned orange groves; her father taught her that the oranges were cashflow while the land itself would grow in value—land that later became part of SeaWorld in Orlando. [5:10]Money, assets, and investing were regular dinner-table topics, shaping her understanding of wealth early on. [5:10] [5:24]She became the first in her family to attend college, was the only woman in her accounting classes, and one of the first women in public accounting in the late 1970s, where she learned how companies succeed and fail. [5:24] [5:51]From Talking Books to Rich Dad Poor DadSharon helped build a global company around the first talking children's books with sound strips, licensing with Disney, Warner Brothers, Sesame Street, and Marvel Comics to get kids excited about reading. [6:17] [6:35]After selling that company and moving to Arizona, her oldest son went to college, was lured into credit card offers with “free pizza” and “free t-shirts,” and ended up in serious debt—an experience that took him seven years to repair and ignited Sharon's lifelong commitment to financial literacy. [6:50] [7:12] [7:36]In December 1992, she dedicated the rest of her career to financial education, initially working with school systems. [7:56]Meeting Robert Kiyosaki & Building a Global BrandSharon's husband, an intellectual property attorney, introduced her to Robert Kiyosaki, who had created the board game CASHFLOW. [8:11] [8:33]At the first beta test, Sharon was the only player to get out of the “rat race,” and she loved how the game aligned with her teachings on investing, assets, and the difference between active and passive income. [8:33] [8:46]Drawing on her experience commercializing products, she helped Robert bring the game to market. When he wanted to price it at $200 in 1996, she suggested writing a brochure to explain his philosophy and justify the investment. [9:09] [9:21]That “brochure” became Rich Dad Poor Dad, which they co-wrote and never expected to become a standalone phenomenon; their company was originally branded Cashflow Technologies. [9:38] [9:54]Over a 10-year partnership, Sharon served as CEO, co-authored 15 books, created multiple games and infomercial products, and launched the Rich Dad Advisors series, helping build what became the world's largest personal finance brand in 110 countries and 51 languages. [9:54] [10:09] [10:28]Leaving Rich Dad & New Doors OpeningAfter a decade, Robert wanted to move into franchising, which Sharon felt was not a good model for franchisees; she chose to leave, emphasizing that sometimes you must close one door for others to open. [10:28] [10:41]Shortly after, she was appointed by President George W. Bush to the first President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, later serving under President Obama as well—an opportunity she believes she would not have had if she'd stayed at Rich Dad. [1:29] [10:52] [11:08]In March 2008, the Napoleon Hill Foundation invited her to help reinvigorate Hill's teachings, leading her into the world's largest personal development brand. [11:08]

A nailed-shut window alarm goes off in an empty nursing home room…A childhood sighting of a Sesame Street character outside the house…And a ride on a dark road that almost turned deadly. Yeah… this one escalates quickly. This week's Sinister Sightings is a full spectrum of creepy, from “that's weird” to “absolutely the hell not.” We're kicking things off in a nursing home where an alarm starts blaring from a vacant room… one with a window that was literally nailed shut. No patients. No movement. Just that gut feeling that something else is there. Then we get into one of the most bizarre childhood encounters we've ever heard: a “Yip Yip” alien from Sesame Street casually walking up to a house like it lives there. Was it imagination… or something taking a form that wouldn't scare a kid? We also dive into a haunted house where objects don't just fall—they're thrown, caught on camera, and impossible to explain. And just when you think it can't get worse… it does. We end with a terrifying real-life encounter on a dark, rural road where two friends accept a ride from the wrong person—and quickly realize they may not make it out alive. The kind of story that sticks with you long after it's over. From haunted nursing homes and childhood paranormal sightings to poltergeist activity and near-death encounters, this episode is packed with real listener stories that blur the line between coincidence… and something much darker. So if you love paranormal stories, real ghost encounters, and laughing through the fear… welcome. You're one of us now.

Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster probably helped raise you, and the woman now leading Sesame Street traces her path there back to one transformative act: adopting her daughter Lily from China. Before joining Sesame Workshop, Sherrie Westin had already built a remarkable career at ABC News and as one of the highest-ranking women in George H.W. Bush's White House. On this episode, Sherrie shares how adopting Lily in 1995 sparked a profound pivot, and how that personal transformation shaped her 26-year journey at the helm of one of the most beloved nonprofits in the world. She opens up about leading the creation of Julia, Sesame Street's first autistic Muppet, securing a landmark $100 million grant to bring early education to refugee children across the globe, and navigating the financial uncertainty that ultimately led to a groundbreaking new deal with Netflix.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 25, 2026 is: juxtapose • JUK-stuh-pohz • verb To juxtapose things is to place them together in order to create an interesting effect or to show how they are the same or different. // The local museum's new exhibit juxtaposes modern art with classical art. See the entry > Examples: “... on ‘Murder Most Foul' [Bob] Dylan thwarts readymade nostalgia, an easy revisiting of the storybook sixties and his golden ‘spokesman' moment. Instead, mixing and juxtaposing voices, lingos, and tones, he traces the decline of America over the trajectory of his own lifetime ...” — Robert Polito, After the Flood: Inside Bob Dylan's Memory Palace, 2026 Did you know? Although it doesn't feature the word juxtapose, a classic segment from a 1969 episode of Sesame Street perfectly illustrates the essence of the verb. In it, the character Bob (as played by actor Bob McGrath) sings the catchy song “One of These Things (Is Not Like the Others)” in front of a display that juxtaposes—that is, places near one another for comparison—four items: an apple, an ice cream cone, a hamburger, and a mitten. The song asks its audience to consider their similarities and differences before deciding which is the most different (spoiler alert: it's the mitten). The word juxtapose is likely a back-formation of the noun juxtaposition, which appropriately enough combines the Latin adjective juxta meaning “near” with the English word position. The use of juxtapose isn't limited to tangible objects, however—images, ideas, concepts, and more are frequently juxtaposed.

We kick off with a the Dodgers spanking the Blue Jays and torn allegiances in Brian's house, then dive into Europe taking dead aim at your kids' screen time. Ireland is rolling out a Government Digital Wallet that'll verify ages before young'uns can doom-scroll their lives away, while Greece went fully scorched-earth and announced a ban on all under-15s using social media at all — announced, naturally, on TikTok.IN THE NEWS, the AI giants (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) are playing nicely together for once, teaming up through the Frontier Model Forum to stop Chinese firms from essentially photocopying their models on the cheap — billions in revenue, national security, and the small matter of safety guardrails stripped out. Turnabout is fair play? On the legal gambling front, prediction markets scored a federal win as a US appeals court ruled New Jersey can't regulate Kalshi; the Trump family's fingerprints are all over the prediction market space (surprise!), and the data suggests 0.04% of accounts are hoovering up 70% of profits like it's a perfectly healthy ecosystem. Also: the FBI pulled deleted Signal messages out of iPhone notification caches, GoPro is laying off 23% of its workforce while somehow remaining optimistic, and OpenAI is backing an Illinois bill that would shield AI companies from liability even in mass-casualty scenarios... cool. On the plus side, Artemis II astronauts took amazing photos of the Moon... on their iPhones.In APPS & DOODADS: Mercedes recalled its electric G-Wagons because the wheels might literally fall off, Amazon is sunsetting Kindles from 2012 and earlier for no reason anyone can figure out, and Apple Fitness on Apple TV is randomly scrambling workout stacks with no fix in sight — a premium locked ecosystem doing premium locked ecosystem things.In MEDIA CANDY, the crew is watching The Pitt, The Boys, Shrinking, and Daredevil, and you'll want to sit down for this: Mel Brooks and Rick Moranis are back — Spaceballs 2 hits theaters a full year from now even though it's done. Italy slapped Netflix with a court-ordered refund for price hikes going back to 2017, while Netflix simultaneously raised prices for US subscribers and launched Playground, a free kids gaming app that works offline (Peppa Pig and Sesame Street, no ads, no in-app purchases — hook 'em on Dah Dum young!)AT THE LIBRARY, Brian has given up on Breath and Jason reads Four Thousand Weeks and Art Spiegelman's Maus — the Pulitzer-winning Holocaust masterpiece that some people are still trying to ban, because humanity never fully learns.Closing out with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, Treasury Secretary Bessent and Fed Chair Powell apparently called an emergency meeting with bank CEOs over Anthropic's new model "Mythos," which can apparently find and exploit vulnerabilities across major OSes and browsers. The boys also catch up on Maul: Shadow Lord, the Strong Songs podcast's Joni Mitchell deep-dive ("Passions soften into wisdom" — weeping on the plane, apparently), the belated discovery that Marathon launched and nobody noticed, and some genuine moon joy courtesy of NASA's Artemis II astronauts.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!
