Sharpened pencils down! Ben Lindbergh and Daniel Chin discuss the momentous, if somewhat scattered, sixth episode of the second season of 'Fallout,' "The Other Player." After sharing their overall review, they recap and dissect each of the (many!) main plot threads and character developments, break down the story revelations, and greet a new guest star with a crucial connection to ‘Fallout' lore. They also scrutinize a mini–musical number, speculate about what could be coming in the final two episodes, and react to the announcement of a 'Fallout' reality series.

John 20:30-31

Song writing, records, and road warriors

In a cultural pivot that's as swift as a TikTok trend, the once-unquestioned allure of heterosexual romance is under fire—recast not as a fairy-tale endpoint but as a potential social liability. Drawing from a Vogue feature, viral podcast snippets, and a probing New York Times magazine essay,  we unpack the rising tide of "heterofatalism": a cocktail of exhaustion, irony, and quiet rebellion among straight women navigating the boyfriend conundrum. What was once a status symbol—think "Boyfriend Land" selfies flooding feeds in the early 2010s—has morphed into something subtly shamed, with singlehood emerging as the sleek, mysterious upgrade. Yet beneath the memes and eye-rolls lies a deeper malaise: men's relational anxieties are clashing with women's sharpened expectations, turning desire into a high-stakes standoff.The conversation ignites in British Vogue's "Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?", where author Stephanie Yeboah dissects the subtle sabotage of coupledom in the social media era. Gone are the days of overt "hard-launches"—those gushy couple photos that scream commitment. Instead, women opt for cryptic signals: a manicured hand draped over a steering wheel, a partner's face artfully blurred in the background, or entire fiancés cropped out of vacation reels to dodge the "evil eye" of jinxing fate. Yeboah cites cultural critic Zoé Samudzi's sharp take: straight women crave "the prize and celebration of partnership" but recoil from its "norminess," lest it paint them as basic or overly invested.

Louise, a project manager, regretted taking on the freelance job. Both the client and designer were testing her patience. Why is it so difficult? she wondered. Why can’t these people get it together? Weeks later, as she read Proverbs 27, verse 17 stood out—“iron sharpens iron.” “You can’t file down rough edges with something soft, like silk,” she told her small group soon after, “you need something hard, like iron.” Louise realized that the challenges in the project were smoothing down some rough edges of her own. She was learning to be more patient and humble, and to adapt to different working styles. God, she concluded, was using the project to expose her flaws and teach her new lessons about working with others. Much of the book of Proverbs extols the value of godly wisdom, but this wisdom doesn’t come easily. It needs to be sought after with obedience and discernment (3:13; 13:20; 19:20), and refined in crucibles, furnaces, and mortars (27:21-22)—situations that may mean temporary pain and suffering. Yet the Bible reminds us that challenges come with rewards: in seeking God’s wisdom diligently and obeying His ways, we will find true security, satisfaction, and blessing (vv. 26-27).

Mike Perez, a seasoned financial advisor and author of Faith and Finances, didn't start his career thinking about generosity or Kingdom impact. He began in accounting, building a solid professional foundation, but deep down, something felt incomplete—both professionally and spiritually. A series of God-ordained encounters drew Mike into the world of financial advising and, more importantly, into a place of full surrender to Christ. From that point on, his question became: What would it look like to truly live out my faith through my finances?   Over the last 33 years, that question has shaped Mike's entire career. Today, he carries a special passion for helping those in or near retirement “finish their race strong” by aligning their financial plans with their spiritual calling. In Faith and Finances, Mike distills decades of wisdom to help believers embrace biblical principles for financial success and radical generosity. Along the way, he offers profound insights on discovering your personal calling, setting a financial finish line that frees you to give boldly, stewarding your time and resources with eternal purpose, and building a legacy that outlives you and points others to Christ.   Major Topics Include: Mike's journey through living out is faith in his finances Learning generosity and stewardship in community The importance of heart change on the stewardship journey  What does it mean to finish well? The five pillars of a faith-driven retirement Important conversations about legacy Advice for doing legacy well as a follower of Christ Estate mapping with families Tips for experiencing heart change Three steps of a Journey of Generosity experience Practical tips for setting a finish line Living out calling beyond the working years  Encouragement to keep growing and stretching in faith and generosity QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Our industry is all about people getting the money thing right, and I think that's fine and good. But I think what's more important is getting the life thing right, especially in the second half of life.” “Ephesians 2:10 says that you were designed for good works, it doesn't say that all bets are off once you're retired. You're meant to do good works until the end.” “We shouldn't be asking God, ‘How much should I give?' but rather ‘How much should I keep?'” “Does it take more faith to give while you're here or after you're gone?” “I don't think the journey ever ends because God's always working on our hearts.” “Giving breaks the power of money.” “Your best days can be ahead of you!” “Just take your next step with Jesus.” “Generosity is a muscle. The more you work it out, the stronger it becomes.” “God just wants to know that He can use you.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Faith and Finances by Michael Perez The ABC's of Financial Freedom by Barry L.

Sharpened pencils, new backpacks, picture-perfect outfits. Even if back-to-school season looks shiny on the outside, it often comes with a swirl of messy feelings for kids and parents! In this episode, Dr. Becky unpacks why starting school is more than just a change in schedule - and how to stay sturdy during the turbulence of transitions. She reframes regressive behaviors and offers practical strategies for building routines, so you and your child can feel more connected, resilient, and confident handling whatever this year throws your way. Plus, don't miss the back-to-school speed round - where Dr. Becky shares her own childhood lunchbox must-haves and fifth-grade pencil pouch confessions.Get the Good Inside App by Dr. Becky: https://bit.ly/4fSxbzkYour Good Inside membership might be eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement! To learn more about how to get your membership reimbursed, check out the link here: https://www.goodinside.com/fsa-hsa-eligibility/Follow Dr. Becky on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinsideSign up for our weekly email, Good Insider: https://www.goodinside.com/newsletterFor a full transcript of the episode, go to goodinside.com/podcast.You know that feeling when you're in the car, on your way to drop-off, and you're just trying to get your kid to eat one bite of their breakfast? Or when you're on the way home from school, wishing there was a volume dial to turn down the meltdown happening in the backseat?The back-to-school season is a lot, and moments like this are tough. That's why I'm so excited to share that I teamed up with Chomps for a "Carpool Q&A," where I answered common questions from parents, like: What do I do when my kids fight constantly in the car? How can I help ease separation anxiety at drop off? And, what's the one song that's guaranteed to brighten the mood in my car? (I shared a personal favorite, and trust me, it's a good one).Because let's be honest - car chaos is real. And when you add a hungry kid to the mix? Forget it. Chomps has got you covered on the snacks: Their meat sticks are easy to stash in backpacks or glove compartments and are a good source of protein, so you've got one less thing to stress about mid-commute. And Good Inside has you covered on everything else.To watch the full video, go to goodinside.com/chomps.You know how people say they “need a vacation from their vacation”? I never got it. Then I experienced summer break as a parent.Summer parenting can feel like a full-time job - so by the time back-to-school rolls around, I find myself wondering: “Okay, when's the real break happening?” Because honestly, the most enjoyable trips we've taken as a family tend to happen during long weekends and fall breaks - no pressure for picture-perfect moments, no meltdowns from the heat, and no built-up tension after weeks of constant togetherness.My go-to for these short and sweet trips? Booking an Airbnb: There's space for everyone to spread out, a kitchen for easy meals, and separate bedrooms that let the grown-ups stay up after the kids go down.But you know what's even better? While you're away, you can list your own home on Airbnb, too! Hosting on Airbnb is simple, flexible, and gives you a little extra income to put towards your own trip (or those mounting back-to-school costs). Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com/host.I had this moment last year where I thought maybe my kids' school calendar was going to get the best of me. Picture day, volunteer sign-ups, early dismissal on Tuesday... wait, which kid has which game?If that sounds familiar, let me tell you about a life-saver: Skylight Calendar. It's designed to bring calm to your family's chaotic schedule. It pulls everyone's appointments, events, tasks, and lists into one simple touchscreen - right there in your home.Skylight Calendar syncs seamlessly with all of your existing calendars - Google, Apple, Outlook, even directly from your email - giving you custom views for daily, weekly, or monthly planning. My favorite feature? “Tasks” helps kids build healthy routines, and you can even assign colors to each family member (“I always choose Good Inside yellow for myself”), eliminating confusion and those endless "I just forgot!” And with the Skylight app, you can instantly add or update anything on the go.Right now, Skylight is offering our listeners $30 off their 15 inch Calendars by going to SkylightCal.com/BECKY.

Picture this: a candlelit living room in New York, a guest list cast like a film, and a host who knows exactly who should meet whom—and why. That's Erin Hosler. Before she checks a rate code or a P&L, she curates people. She trained at The Ritz-Carlton before the Marriott acquisition. Learned stagecraft under Ian Schrager. Honed the five-senses playbook with Andre Balazs. Sharpened her eye alongside Philippe Starck. Then led chapters at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach; THE WELL in New York; Eaton DC; and Soho House Austin. Her take is simple: the last real moat isn't marble or mixology. It's training.   Why this matters for independents: Turn choreography into rituals your team can actually repeat. Make being known beat being “bonvoyed.” Design around human behavior, not developer spreadsheets. Let tech automate the admin—never the moment. We'll talk membership energy and that feeling of “home on demand,” then get painfully practical—guest history, uniforms that fit, and managers who coach. If you've ever wondered how a latte placed at the right table, at the right time, by the right person can outperform any brand campaign—this one's for you. Alright friends, without further ado, get ready to meet Erin.   Connect with Erin on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinhosler/   Behind the Stays is brought to you by Journey — a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that brings together an alliance of the world's top independently owned and operated stays and allows travelers to earn points and perks on boutique hotels, vacation rentals, treehouses, ski chalets, glamping experiences and so much more.

In this powerful Monday Mindset session, Barry Overton—veteran, retired Denver police officer, entrepreneur, and real estate leader—shares his journey of discovering true purpose through service. Using the simple metaphor of a pencil, Barry reveals how greatness isn't found in titles or status, but in the impact we leave on others. He explores the pain of purpose versus the pain of regret, the role of mentorship and accountability, and the importance of embracing failure as growth. Packed with wisdom and personal stories, Barry inspires agents to realign their businesses and lives around fulfillment, service, and legacy.

Catch the message Sharpened: A Mentor To Learn From by Pastor Ben Stapley!A Paul is someone who's ahead of you spiritually. Someone who challenges you, teaches you and helps you grow. God sharpens your life through the wisdom, challenge, and example of a mentor. These types of friendships help you see what's possible and guides you through growth.

It's time to start listening to the gaps between the rhetoric. Turn it all off, step outside and recharge. A first time comes for everything. The story from the baby's stroller. Don't question what you know you have. A declaration is an act of creation. The voice rising over the empire. The one without a flag or name. Channeling the gifted. The child contract that was never signed. The inner voice that says your not crazy. Submit or suffer. Obey or disappear. Triality is the unsanctioned option. Wielding the power of the mind. You have been measured up also. Will it be belonging or truth? Moving back and forth between dualities. Truth dissolves the premise that only two options exist. God may give you every wish, so be very careful what you ask for. Sharpened feelings are like a cold blade. What have the people done to change themselves? There is a lot happening, so take comfort in quiet successes. What an open mind really means. When hate finds people, their soul becomes black. The schemers should be very, very worried. Guys, step up your game. Sometimes the bickering is for a reason. It's about to get crazy. We should all concentrate on creating inclusive factions of love, not legacies of hate.

In a world full of surface-level connections and growing isolation, this message explores what it means to build sharpening relationships rooted in biblical wisdom. Centered on Proverbs 27:17 and the story of Jethro and Moses, Nick challenges us to seek out friendships that refine, encourage, and speak truth—even when it's hard. True community isn't just comforting—it's transformational. Are your relationships helping you grow closer to God?

Ever feel like life's challenges are turning up the heat on you? In this episode of Her Faith at Work, we're diving into how God uses trials to refine and prepare us for His unique purpose—just like a blade forged in fire. Inspired by the hit TV show Forged in Fire, we explore the parallels between the forging process and how God sharpens, strengthens, and shapes us. Through relatable stories, practical insights, and biblical truths, we unpack what it means to trust God during the “heat” and embrace the masterpiece He's creating in us. Plus, we tackle why surrounding yourself with the right people—mentors, Christian businesswomen, and supportive peers—is essential for staying sharp and growing in your calling. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: The five-step forging process and how it mirrors God's work in our lives. Why trials and challenges aren't meant to break you but to refine you (1 Peter 1:6-7, Hebrews 12:10-11). Real-life examples of people in the Bible (and maybe even your life) who've been forged by fire. How to build your “forge community” and why accountability, encouragement, and wisdom from others are non-negotiable for growth (Proverbs 27:17). Practical steps to embrace God's refining process and thrive in your calling. KEY VERSES IN THIS EPISODE: 1 Peter 1:6-7: "Though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials, these have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold—may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed." Ecclesiastes 4:9-10: "Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up." Proverbs 27:17: "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." ACTION STEPS THIS WEEK: Reflect on where you are in the forging process: Are you in the heat, under the hammer, or being polished? Pray for God's guidance and patience during your refining season. Take one step toward finding or strengthening your Christian business community—reach out to a mentor, join a group, or schedule coffee with a fellow entrepreneur. DON'T FACE THE FIRE ALONE! God didn't create you to walk through the fire in isolation. Surround yourself with people who sharpen you, encourage you, and push you toward your purpose. If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who might be in their own refining season. And don't forget to leave a review or connect with me on social media—I'd love to hear how God is working in your life!

In this special sponsored episode of the Auto Remarketing Podcast, Cruz and Welby highlighted how RPM has diversified and sharpened its carrier sales department to cater to the unique needs of remarketing clients. Cruz and Welby explained how RPM doesn't copy and paste strategies for customers, especially since there have times when a vehicle wouldn't start or didn't have wheels but still needed to be transported.

A Cuttin Edge needs to be Sharpened, it get's pretty dull continually striking at the armor of resistance.

Mzilikazi Khumalo was trying to piece together his shattered amaNdebele after the attack on Mosega in early 1837 by the Boers and their allies the Griqua and Rolong. Then in midyear, he'd been attacked again by Dingana's impis — he'd managed to survive that invasion but things were looking very bad as he hunkered down in his imizi of eGabeni in the Marico area of what is now north west province. Across southern Africa, movers and shakers were moving and shaking. By now, Durban was a busy place. Dingana was vacillating about its future. Trader John Cane who was well ensconced inside Zulu life managed to negotiate with Dingana to allow the traders some latitude — to remain for now — with assistance from Gardiner despite his invidious position. If you remember, Dingana had told Qadi chief Dube to bring him poles for his palisade, although some Zulu oral tradition says Dingana killed Dube for dancing better than him, but either way there's no disputing what was now an open clash between the Zulu king and the white traders. Dingana had demanded the Qadi refugees be sent back across the Tugela River, the traders refused and then began to fortify Durban. The crisis now brought into sharp relief the role of ex-military men like Alexander Biggar. The former captain and paymaster of the 85th regiment had been cashiered from the British Army in 1819 following a scandal - he basically misappropriated regimental funds and was stripped of his rank. Dingana's threats reminded Biggar of Nxele the wardoctor and the amaXhosa, and being military minded, he realised this threat provided him with a perfect opportunity. He was elected as commandant of the Port Natal Volunteers, and organised local men, black and white, into a body of troops, and appointed captains to oversee this group. OF course he appointed his son, Robert, as well as John Cane and Henry Ogle as Captains, and this so-called army began to fortify Durban stockade. Not done, Biggar issued a proclamation in May 1837 calling on the inhabitants of Durban to hold themselves ready in cheerful obedience to his orders. In the third quarter of 1837, Potgieter and Retief were making their way to the edge of the escarpment with the Voortrekkers, from where they were going to split. Retief was going to make his way down the Drakensburg to Natal, and Potgieter was going to turn inland — staying on the high ground. The Voortrekkers were still plodding their way along the Sand River heading in a north easterly direction, and taking note of the empty plains which Mzilikazi had purposefully used as a buffer zone. On the 1st September 1837 they camped near where the town of Senekal is today, then continued east passed where the modern town of Paul Roux lies. Then they arrived at the edge of the escarpment, near Warden in the Free State. While Maritz and Potgieter disagreed, they agreed on one thing, and that was the need to destroy the amaNdebele, determined to evicerate the threat from the Marico region and to claim back their cattle still held by Mzilikazi. They were also obsessing about something else. Maritz and Potgieter wanted to recover the thee very young Liebenberg children who had been seized by the amaNdebele warriors after they were found hiding in the camp overrun by the the year before during the battles along the Vaal.
