Even with France's extreme heat continuing, we managed a nearby picnic to observe the big solar eclipse on Wednesday. It managed to get to around 99% here in France, while parts of Spain enjoyed the full meal deal. We'll also talk about our trip to the village of Gontaud de Nogaret, and the key fob saga has officially come to a close.

What happens when you've built a business for years around something you love ... and suddenly nothing works anymore?For Human Design expert and Pointy Aura founder Tangie Nadimi, that question became WAY bigger than social media strategy. After years of momentum, she found herself throwing money, coaching, energy, and ideas at a business she desperately wanted to save, until she started wondering whether the business was really the thing asking to be saved.What came next became an entirely new body of work.

In Wisconsin, the Dems steal an election from themselves, abortion is cheered in Massachusetts, Spain gets what it voted for, the economy is humming, and more!
The Féile and the FleadhFollowing on from Tradfest - well done Dónal and everyone involved- Féile and the Fleadh were mighty. Sixteen days of Féile An Phobail, seperate but running parallel with a week of the first Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann to be held in Belfast. An estimated one million plus Fleadh hoppers meandered their way through Belfast soaking up the music, the craic and the joyful atmosphere as musicians and dancers playing their hearts out on streets and in pubs and music venues. Well done to all involved in organising this marvellous event. From Comhaltas first of all and all the musicans and dancers to Belfast City Council to the Economy Minister Dr Caoimhe Archibald who gave £1 million in funding in support of the Fleadh, to all of the business owners who opened their doors and provided the services that the crowds needed and enjoyed. Well done also to the media. The local broadcast radio and television made a special effort, as did TG4. Together they broadcast hours of happy smiling people appreciating the Fleadh, listening to the music and watching the dancers. And not forgetting Niall and Bronagh McClean,and Ards Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann (CCE), the host branch for the Fleadh. This fleadh was six years in the making but it paid off – big time. Not least in its social and societal benefits. I spent some time each day at the competitions in the Waterfront Hall. The standard of the music was amazing. Over 5,000 musicians from over 20 countries participated. That included a number of bands from the Unionist and Loyalist tradition. Fair play to them. They were warmly welcomed by enthusiastic crowds.The Little Lost Bird and the Blue ButterflyAmong the art exhibitions was one by John B Vallely. JB is a renowned artist from Armagh City and a traditional musician and s great champion of the Uilleann pipes. He has been painting for over 70 years and his exhibition for Féile focussed on the loss of innocence; on the children killed at Wounded Knee by the US army in 1890 and the current Israeli genocide in Gaza in which tens of thousands of Palestinian children have been murdered. Two images stand out in his remarkable exhibition. One is of a blue bird dedicated to Zintkála Nuni – the Little Lost Bird. It is symbolic of a baby girl who was found strapped to her murdered mother's back four days after the massacre at Wounded Knee. She had survived four days in the snow. Her name was not known so she was named Zintkála Nuni – the Little Lost Bird.Wildfires and Climate ChangeIt has been a summer thus far that tens of thousands of people in Europe and North America will remember for a long time to come. Climate change has exploded in a series of enormous and dangerous wildfires that have left devastation in their wake. Day after day the media is full of images of forests and farm land destroyed, homes in ruins and families living in makeshift shelters. From Spain to Greece and across Canada and the USA the land burns as a result of prolonged heatwaves and droughts.Of course, there are still those who boohoo even the notion of climate change. But the evidence today is overwhelming and it's not new. As far back as the 1970s I recall warnings about the impact of pollution on the environment. In 1988 the United Nations established two UN agencies focussed on climate change - the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) along with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
You know, Shayne, every time we try to talk about “phrases we can't say anymore,” we somehow end up saying all of them… loudly… and usually in the wrong order. But hey, if you can't laugh at canceled phrases, then bless you. No—wait. Sorry. Gesundheit. Or Jesus. Whatever keeps the internet happy.Join us for Part 2 of [so many] Phrases You Can't Say anymore. Check out Part 1 that aired back in March. Round 322~~~~~~~Don't you wish you could have heard this right after part 1?

They debate whether anyone is actually offended, invent “Best Witches,” and wonder who decided joy was illegal.Then they tackle boys will be boys, which somehow leads to dinosaurs, woolly mammoths, and Todd falling out of a tree. They break down I don't see color, discuss colorblind friends, and remind everyone to lighten up.Next up: bless you, which is now offensive because… reasons. Shayne shares Spanish sneeze etiquette (“Jesus!”), Jay mispronounces salud, and everyone gets confused.Finally, they realize the article has way more than 15 phrases, question their counting skills, and decide a part three is inevitable. Because boys will be boys… and podcasters will be podcasters.~~~~~~~Chapters00:00 – Holiday Chaos Shayne and Jay debate Merry Christmas and Best Witches.00:45 – Who's Offended?

Turning down MLS. Walking away from an SMU scholarship. A trial at Bayern. Jay and Carey Cappis share how Christian Cappis bet on development — and won.In Part 2 of this conversation, the Cappis family walks Ian Babcock through Christian's player pathway from club soccer in Houston to the professional game in Europe: captaining a national-champion FC Dallas Academy side, youth national team call-ups, an MLS rights battle between Houston and Dallas, and the decision to start at the bottom of the Danish Superliga instead — because development beats badges, free boots, and even bigger money.Jay and Carey get honest about the hard parenting moments too: letting go when Christian moved to Dallas his senior year, the summer he came home with no prospects while his friends left for college, and the day he was deported from Denmark over a paperwork mistake. It ends with the advice every soccer parent needs to hear: it's their journey, professional soccer is a business, and your job is to support with eyes wide open.Key Talking PointsWhy Christian turned down bigger clubs — he scouted their recruiting versus their developing and knew where he wouldn't growFree boots, kits, and warmups are enticements, not development — how the family saw through the sales pitch“In charge from day one”: making his own decisions from a YMCA rejection at age two and a half through every club choice afterPlaying up with older kids, scoring the winning goal against the Texans, and how one bold team choice opened the next doorLetting go: the senior-year move to FC Dallas Academy — and living like a pro (groceries, laundry, driving to work) before ever signingYouth national team life: “Hey Dad, I'm going to Spain today”The MLS rights battle between Houston and Dallas — and why Christian took his chances in Denmark insteadWalking away from the SMU scholarship, the Bayern trial that almost happened, and the quiet summer where Christian never doubtedDeported from Denmark with 24 hours to leave — the life education no classroom offersPlayer identity beyond soccer: marriage, cooking with a Michelin chef, and advice for parents — it's their journey, and pro soccer is a businessQuotes from the Guests“He's been in charge from day one.” — Jay Cappis“Everybody wants you until they see you.” — Jay Cappis“Your choice, your responsibility, your consequences — all the way across the board.” — Jay Cappis“He could basically tell you, ‘I will not develop there. They're great at recruiting the top players, but they're not great at developing them.'” — Jay Cappis“He very calmly just kinda looks at me, and he's like, ‘It's okay. Don't worry. We got this.' He never doubted.” — Carey Cappis“You have a finite shelf life as an athlete... You can go back to college anytime.” — Jay Cappis“You're on a journey with that child. It is not your journey. That is theirs to live.” — Jay Cappis“Professional athletics is a business... They will do what's best for the club, and if that means it's not good for you, that is not their problem.” — Jay Cappis“We never really set out with the goal of getting a college scholarship or even the goal of him being pro... it was more of just, well, what's next?” — Carey Cappis“I'm not so much proud as I am pleased. He had a vision of what he wanted to do, and he pursued it.” — Jay CappisConnect with the Cappis Family
Anna and Avery break down yesterday's total solar eclipse — a 182-mile-wide shadow that swept from the Arctic through Greenland and Iceland to northern Spain, giving millions of people up to 2 minutes 18 seconds of totality. Plus: astronomers find three supermassive black holes sharing one distant galaxy (two are about to merge), Virgin Galactic pushes commercial spaceflight back to February 2027, and Rocket Lab signs a new launch customer for Neutron even as the rocket's debut slips further.**Full show notes:**Today's episode — S05E166, Thursday August 13, 2026:**Main story: The August 12 total solar eclipse.** The Moon's shadow crossed the Arctic Ocean, eastern Greenland, western Iceland, northern Spain, the Balearic Islands and out into the Mediterranean. Longest totality on land: 2 minutes 18 seconds at Látrabjarg, Iceland. Millions gathered across northern Spain, with the path also crossing A Coruña, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Valencia and Palma (Madrid and Barcelona were just outside the path). Observers reported seeing the solar corona, a prominence, and Jupiter, Mercury and Venus during totality. Spain gets another total eclipse on August 2, 2027.**Three supermassive black holes, one galaxy.** Astronomers led by Hannah Übler (Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics) used JWST to confirm three actively feeding supermassive black holes in galaxy J0148-4214, 12.5 billion light-years away — the first such triple system ever confirmed. Two of the three are on course to merge.**Virgin Galactic delays commercial flights to 2027.** The company's upgraded Delta-class spaceplane will now begin commercial service in February 2027, pushed back from Q4 2026, to complete avionics and systems installation. Shares fell 12% after-hours. $750,000 seat packages were oversubscribed.**Rocket Lab's Neutron: delay and deal.** Rocket Lab is hedging on a 2026 debut for its Neutron rocket, with the window potentially slipping into 2027 — even as the company signs a new five-launch deal with Kepler Communications.**Links & sources:**- [Space.com — Total solar eclipse live updates](https://www.space.com/news/live/total-solar-eclipse-today-aug-12-2026-live-updates)- [Space.com — Total solar eclipse 2026 thrills millions (photos, video)](https://www.space.com/stargazing/solar-eclipses/total-solar-eclipse-2026-thrills-millions-with-a-stunning-cosmic-spectacle-photos-video)- [CNN — Photos: Total solar eclipse 2026](https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/12/science/gallery/photos-total-solar-eclipse)- [Wikipedia — Solar eclipse of August 12, 2026](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_12,_2026)- [Max Planck Institute — Three supermassive black holes discovered in a single galaxy](https://www.mpg.de/26904239/three-black-holes-discovered-in-a-young-galaxy)- [SpaceNews — Virgin Galactic delays resumption of commercial flights to 2027](https://spacenews.com/virgin-galactic-delays-resumption-of-commercial-flights-to-2027/)- [Spaceflight Now — Window for 2026 Neutron debut is narrowing](https://spaceflightnow.com/2026/08/10/window-for-2026-launch-debut-of-rocket-labs-neutron-rocket-is-narrowing-as-development-continues/)- [Rocket Lab — Neutron launch deal with Kepler Communications](https://rocketlabcorp.com/updates/rocket-lab-inks-neutron-launch-deal-with-kepler-communications/)Follow us: @AstronomyDailyPodBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-latest-space-news--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

In this season preview Alex and Liam will talk about all 22 clubs in detail across parts 1-3, and then in part 4 will give you their predictions. What a season we have in store! We have been joined by giants Real Mallorca and Real Oviedo, that means of course the Asturian Derbi is back, as is the Canarian derbi with Tenerife promoted. We have representation in Catalonia once again with the promotion of Sabadell and relegation of Girona. We are as diverse as ever with not one, not two, but three island teams, an enclave and a team playing outside of Spain, Pique's Andorra FC. Even the B team cloud has a silver lining, Celta B maintains our Galician representation and means that we have double the chance of seeing the future stars of Spanish football.

He discusses winning two Junior Cup championships and a Twins Cup title, making the jump to Supersport and 1000cc machinery, and experiencing the pressure that came with being labeled a potential future American MotoGP star.Rocco also opens up about the twists and turns of his career, from the Red Bull Rookies Cup and the European development system to opportunities in Twins Cup, Supersport, Stock 1000 and King of the Baggers.

This week, the boys got conspiratorial again! We headed to 1974 to give Alan J. Pakula's “The Parallax View” a spin.

Atlanta United is finally back at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this weekend, and Jason Longshore breaks down what Júnior Alonso and Luke Brennan said at training, where Paulo Díaz and new signing Mauricio Amaro fit into the picture, and what it means for Saturday's game against the New York Red Bulls. Then it's a trip across the Atlantic for the Jeff Bezos led consortium eyeing a stake in Liverpool, Rodri's looming move from Manchester City to Barcelona, Real Madrid's record breaking Yan Diomande signing, the Enzo Fernández rumors swirling around Manchester City, and a tale of two Premier League clubs in Tottenham's big spending and Newcastle's total roster overhaul. It all closes with the 3-4-3: Atlanta United 2's tough night in Chattanooga, Mercer soccer's deepest roster in years, the 30th anniversary Soccer in Sanford event at Georgia, Olivia Moultrie's ACL tear, Alexis Sánchez to CF Montréal, Mexico's win over the USA in the Concacaf U-20 final, and the WAFCON semifinal picture.
Chosen by Maff, directed and co-written by Sammo Hung, Wheels on Meals was a Hong Kong–Spanish co-production from Golden Harvest and Laurenfilm, filmed extensively on location around Barcelona and Tarragona. Reliable published budget figures are difficult to verify, but the international production gave the film a distinctive scale and sun-drenched European setting rarely seen in Hong Kong action cinema at the time. Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung reunited as the leading trio, supported by Spanish actress Lola Forner and American martial artists Benny “The Jet” Urquidez and Keith Vitali.Released in Hong Kong on 17 August 1984, the film became one of the territory's highest-grossing local releases of the year. Its combination of acrobatic stunt work, broad comedy and carefully staged martial-arts action helped establish it as a favourite of the VHS generation. Decades later, Wheels on Meals remains celebrated for the chemistry between its three stars and for delivering fight choreography clearly enough that viewers can actually see what is happening—an increasingly revolutionary concept.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn the sun-soaked streets of Barcelona, two cousins have the perfect business: fast food, four wheels and absolutely no regard for workplace health and safety.But when a mysterious young pickpocket crosses their path, Thomas and David are dragged into a dangerous plot involving ruthless criminals, a missing inheritance and one remarkably questionable private detective.This time, the meals are fast. The fists are faster. And somewhere in Spain, an insurance company is quietly refusing to cover any of it.FUN FACTSThe film's original English title was reportedly Meals on Wheels, but Golden Harvest reversed the words after two previous company releases beginning with the letter “M” performed poorly.In Japan, the film was released under the title Spartan X.Jackie Chan also supervised the film's action choreography.Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao had all trained together as members of the Seven Little Fortunes at the China Drama Academy.Lola Forner had previously represented Spain at the Miss World competition.Benny Urquidez was a highly successful professional kickboxer nicknamed “The Jet.”Chan and Urquidez's confrontation is frequently ranked by martial-arts cinema fans among Jackie Chan's finest screen fights.Keith Vitali reportedly struck Jackie Chan in the throat accidentally while filming one of their fight sequences.The catering van used by Thomas and David is fitted with hidden compartments, electronic gadgets and enough custom equipment to make it the kung-fu equivalent of the Batmobile.The three leading men later reunited for another major Hong Kong action comedy, Dragons Forever, released in 1988.SUPPORT THE SHOW If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.

Oregon became the thirty-third state on February 14, 1859, but its history reaches far beyond statehood. Indigenous peoples had lived throughout the region long before Europeans arrived, with communities and traditions tied to the coast, forests, mountains, and rivers. One of the earliest documented European explorations of what is now Oregon came in 1543, when Bartolomé Ferrelo continued north along the Pacific Coast on an expedition begun by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo. Over the centuries that followed, Spain, Britain, and the United States all claimed interests in the Pacific Northwest. The United States and Great Britain agreed to jointly occupy the Oregon Country in 1818, and the Oregon Treaty of 1846 established the boundary between American and British territory. Oregon Territory was organized in 1848, followed by statehood eleven years later. With forests that seem to go on forever, a rugged coastline, isolated lakes, old hotels, and communities with stories passed down for generations, Oregon has produced some wonderfully strange folklore. There are mysterious creatures, sea serpents, ghosts, and at least one monster who apparently decided that simply being a monster wasn't interesting enough. He needed a name...

Spain is at the center of the global immigration debate. Left-wing Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has enacted a plan aimed at giving legal status to undocumented immigrants. But last month, tens of thousands of migrants tried to illegally cross into the Spanish territory of Ceuta, which borders Morocco. The incident is putting Spain's immigration policy under the microscope. Stephanie Sy reports. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.

Okay… come a little closer. I have something to tell you.Well… actually, you probably already know most of it. But somehow, when we talk about the Spanish Royal Family, there is always another little detail, another story, another “Did you hear about this?”In this episode of Spanish Loops, we're doing exactly that: sitting down for a good old-fashioned chat about the gossip, scandals, marriages, money, divorces and family dramas behind the Spanish Crown.We'll go back to the stories that had Spain talking... and then bring it right up to today.There's King Juan Carlos, the former king who now lives in Abu Dhabi, far away from Spain, surrounded by his own controversies… and, of course, the fascinating and sometimes complicated stories involving his family and the younger generations.Then there are the Infantas, their glamorous weddings, their marriages, their very public divorces and everything that happened afterwards. Add a few money scandals, family disagreements, royal romances and plenty of things that were probably never meant to become public…Well… you get the picture. And what about Felipe VI, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía? What does it mean to grow up knowing that almost everything your family does can become tomorrow's headline?So forget the official photographs for a moment.Forget the ceremonies.Come and sit with us.Because this isn't really a history lesson.

In this episode • Shadow Day: the only total solar eclipse of 2026 crosses Arctic Russia, Greenland, western Iceland and northern Spain today — the first total eclipse over western mainland Europe since 1999 (Spain's first since 1905, Iceland's since 1954). Max totality ~2 min 18 s. Reykjavík ~17:48 UT; northern Spain ~18:27–18:33 UT (Sun very low, ~4–10° up). Live via NASA, timeanddate and the Exploratorium. • Where you are: North America gets an afternoon partial (Nova Scotia ~33%, N. Maine ~28%, Montreal ~18%, Boston ~16%, NYC ~9–10%, Toronto ~8%, DC ~10%; Fairbanks ~37% in the morning) — no totality anywhere on the continent, glasses on throughout. Europe outside the path sees a deep evening partial (London ~91%). Australia/SH: not visible directly — watch the streams (~1:30–6:00 am AEST Thu). • Chasing the shadow: NASA's WB-57 jet flies the path at ~50,000 ft (~740 km/h), extending totality to nearly 3 minutes with four visible/IR cameras (SCIFI) to probe coronal heating, prominences and the solar wind (PI Amir Caspi, SwRI). The Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project (A. Des Jardins, Montana State) launches ~86 balloons from Iceland and Spain to measure atmospheric changes. • A star-building magnetic field: ALMA captures the first direct high-resolution image of a twisted, toroidal magnetic field wrapped around a protostellar jet in NGC 1333 IRAS 4A (~960 ly, Perseus cloud), confirming a decades-old prediction of how young stars launch jets and shed spin — the same physics that scales up to black-hole jets (Ching et al., Nature Communications 2026; NSF NRAO/ALMA). • Why worlds turn hellish: UC Riverside's Stephen Kane argues planetary rotation is an overlooked driver of climate and habitability — slow spin may help tip a world into a Venus-style runaway greenhouse. Measuring true spin is hard because winds can masquerade as rotation; ESA's PLATO (launch March 2027) could test the idea across hundreds of Venus-like planets (Astronomical Journal, accepted). • Skywatch — both hemispheres: the Perseids peak overnight 12–13 Aug under a genuinely moonless sky (best midnight–dawn; NH-favoured). Southern Hemisphere: evening Venus (mag −4.4, just past dichotomy), the pre-dawn planet line-up, and Comet 10P/Tempel 2. ISO 12312-2 eye-safety line included.

Trump was smuggled off Air Force One in a catering truck and flown out of Turkey on a secret military flight after a credible Iranian threat. You need to see how this actually went down. After the NATO summit in Ankara, cameras caught Trump boarding the older Air Force One. Minutes later, he and several aides stepped into an elevated catering container on the opposite side of the plane, got lowered to the tarmac, and driven over to a smaller C-32A. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth boarded that same secret flight separately so it looked normal. The press and some White House staff sat on the decoy plane with the window shades ordered closed, thinking the president was with them the whole time. The C-32A landed in Britain nine minutes ahead of the decoy. Trump then reappeared on the older jet before switching to the Qatari-gifted plane for the trip home. Intelligence flagged a specific Iranian plot against him. Israel had tipped the U.S. The White House did not deny the operation. Pat also covered: Iran locks the Strait of Hormuz until President Trump is out of office and drops five NEW demands Day 59: Mitch McConnell is still holding America hostage Trump signs executive order that overhauls the childhood vaccine schedule Newly released Fauci texts show he privately flagged a theoretical miscarriage risk after the COVID vaccine In a shocking event, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed endorses Ilhan Omar … Does this change how you view the constant Iran threats against Trump?

Jimmy Conrad and Charlie Davies are BACK!
The top of the world will see a total solar eclipse tomorrow. A partial eclipse will encompass a wider slice of the globe, including Alaska and parts of the northeastern United States. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly between Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun from view. The Sun’s hot but faint outer atmosphere, the corona, looks like silvery tendrils radiating away from the Moon. This eclipse begins when the lunar shadow first touches Earth, over northeastern Russia. The eclipse path then passes near the north pole, slides across parts of Greenland and Iceland, and finally over northern Spain before vanishing over the Mediterranean Sea. At its peak, off the coast of Iceland, totality will last for 2 minutes, 18 seconds. A partial eclipse, where the Moon covers only a portion of the solar disk, will flank that path. In addition to parts of North America, it’ll encompass much of western Europe and western Africa. From far-northern Alaska, the Moon will cover more than half of the Sun’s disk, at about 8:30 a.m. From Anchorage, about a quarter of the Sun will be covered. And from the northeast, the greatest eclipse takes place in northern Maine, shortly before 2 p.m. If you’re in one of those areas, remember to protect your eyes. Watch the eclipse only through special glasses or dark welder’s glass, and never look at the unfiltered Sun. Script by Damond Benningfield
Helga built a global budtender training program in 8 countries. Here's how she got there, and why the culture needs more people like her.Helga is a Costa Rican-born cannabis educator who worked her way from restaurant manager to cannabis club manager in Barcelona before launching Global Budtender Training, a worldwide certification program built in partnership with Oaksterdam University. In under a year she has trained over 100 budtenders across more than 8 countries, and the world tour is not close to finished.In this episode, recorded live at Mary Jane Berlin 2026, Helga and JP go deep on the gap between what the top of the cannabis industry knows and what actually reaches the person standing behind the counter. They break down the THC percentage myth and how lab manipulation pushes quality cultivars out of production. They talk through what day one for a new budtender should actually look like, why tasting the product is non-negotiable, and why a budtender is part psychologist, part pharmacist, and part friend all at once. Helga also tells the full story of how a stranger in a wheelchair at Spannabis handed her a cannabis university scholarship that changed everything.JP brings the legacy side: the original Cheese strain and why more people should be asking for it back, the history of piff and New York haze culture before Sour Diesel and Cookies took over the Northeast, and why passion for the plant is the only thing that keeps operators standing when the business gets hard. Good PizzZa is built to document conversations like this one. Educators, cultivators, legacy operators, and the people who love the plant enough to build something real around it.Chapters below.Connect with Helga:Website: www.globalbartendertraining.comInstagram: @globalbartendertrainingYouTube: Global Bartender TrainingFollow Good PizzZa:YouTube: goodpizzza.comInstagram: @_goodpizzza_ | @goodpizzzapodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2HHXF0ijATYi8eHIq0rDToApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-pizzza-podcast/id1622059263CHAPTERS00:00 Global Budtender Training Program Introduction01:43 Costa Rica Cannabis Culture and Helga's Background05:06 Costa Rica Rosin, Hash, and the Path Toward Legalization07:36 How Helga First Got Into the Cannabis Industry08:55 Barcelona Cannabis Clubs and Starting as a Budtender12:24 Spannabis, the Scholarship, and the Moment That Changed Everything14:31 Cannabis University, Certified Budtender for Spain, and Launching Global Bartender Training17:22 How the Global Bartender Training Curriculum Works19:33 THC Percentage Myth and How Lab Testing Hurts the Culture25:01 Growing Up in Cannabis Culture: JP's Mom Still Grows at 7330:17 Day One Budtender Advice: Tasting Products and Building Team Culture35:55 Original Cheese Strain, Piff, and New York Haze History47:44 Ted's Budz and the California Rec Market50:51 Follow Your Dreams: Where to Find Global Bartender TrainingFind upcoming dates and registration at www.globalbartendertraining.com or on Instagram at @globalbartendertraining.LINKSConnect with the guest: Instagram: @globalbartendertrainingWebsite: www.globalbartendertraining.comYouTube: Global Bartender TrainingSpotify: Good PizzZa Podcast | Apple Podcasts: Good PizzZa PodcastFollow Good PizzZa: goodpizzza.com | Instagram @goodpizzza and @goodpizzzapodcastY'all know what time it is…Roll ‘em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants—do what you gotta do because we're about to take this journey with Helga!✌

Episode 5579: Left Wing Organizations Rally To Steal 2026; Is Spain Foreshadowing What Is To Come
Learn how five Smart Money listeners changed their money situations after talking with us about tackling job loss, debt, FIRE, and life moves. What really happens after the episode ends? Hosts Sean Pyles, CFP®, and Elizabeth Ayoola check back in with five listeners who came on the show to find out whether the financial moves they made actually paid off. Bri navigated an unexpected job loss and a serious health crisis at the same time. Did a bare-bones budget, a marketplace health plan, and relentless determination hold everything together over 15 months of uncertainty? And what happened when Ellie and her husband actually followed through on their FIRE plan, retired at 44, and moved the whole family to Spain — only to find their passive income took an unplanned hit? Then: Paolo had $3 million saved at 48 and still couldn't bring himself to slow down — could a financial advisor, modeling multiple retirement scenarios, give him the confidence to finally let his money coast? David's cross-country move didn't go quite as planned, leaving him to navigate buying a home in one of the country's priciest markets while managing a long-distance rental. And Delius, who came to the show carrying $100,000 in credit card debt and a Vegas rental property, faced the question of whether selling would feel like freedom — or like giving up a lifeline.

"This Saint, who was born in Spain, was the Archdeacon of the Church of Rome, caring for the sacred vessels of the Church and distributing money to the needy. About the year 257, a harsh persecution was raised up against the Christians by Valerian. Pope Sixtus, who was from Athens, was commanded to worship the idols, and refused; before his martyrdom by beheading, he committed to Laurence all the sacred vessels of the Church. When Laurence was arrested and brought before the Prefect, he was questioned concerning the treasures of the Church; he asked for three days' time to prepare them. He then proceeded to gather all the poor and needy, and presented them to the Prefect and said, "Behold the treasures of the Church." The Prefect became enraged at this and gave command that Laurence be racked, then scourged with scorpions (a whip furnished with sharp iron points — compare II Chron. 10:11), then stretched out on a red-hot iron grill. But the courageous athlete of Christ endured without groaning. After he had been burned on one side, he said, "My body is done on one side; turn me over on the other." And when this had taken place, the Martyr said to the tyrants, "My flesh is now well done, you may taste of it." And when he had said this, and had prayed for his slayers in imitation of Christ, he gave up his spirit on August 10, 258." (Great Horologion). His icon shows him stretched on the grill.
