Greetings Citizens. The 3Guys have activated this approved entertainment transmission to bring you joy-joy feelings as they examine the ancient 1990s motion picture artifact known as Demolition Man. Join Don, Jon, and Ken as they engage in scholarly discourse on the noble Spartan's (Sylvester Stallone) pursuit of the chaos-generator Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) through a once "perfect" society. How many credits will they be fined for repeated violations of the verbal morality statute? Listen as they debate the shocking, unsanitary concept of “bodily fluid transfers.” Prepare for quotable exchanges, explosive kinetic engagements, and retro-action sequences of wildly inefficient tactics. Spoiler warnings are in full effect—proceed in a manner most sanitary and be well.

Power Rangers invaden Fortnite: La temporada Shock ‘n Awesome llega con Rangers, Halo y bichos  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Los Mighty Morphin Power Rangers regresan en una colaboración épica con Fortnite desde el 7 de agosto. Habrá trajes, Megazord, Halo y hasta insectos gigantes.  Fortnite va a lanzar su nueva temporada llamada Shock ‘n Awesome, y los protagonistas no son solo los personajes del juego, sino una invasión de insectos enormes… y la llegada de los Power Rangers. Sí, los originales, los Mighty Morphin de los años 90. Habrá trajes, combates y hasta el Megazord. Además, también se unirán al juego los Spartans de Halo, un panda con parche y otras skins curiosas. La campaña de lanzamiento se filmó en un lugar muy especial para los fans. ¿Será este el regreso más nostálgico de todo el año en el gaming?  La batalla es tan épica que tuvieron que llamar al Megazord.  Todo empieza con un nuevo tráiler que mezcla animación y acción real. En él, los héroes de Fortnite están siendo atacados por bichos gigantes que salen de una especie de tentáculo abandonado por un monstruo del evento anterior. Justo cuando la situación se pone peor, aparecen los Power Rangers. La pantalla cambia a formato 4:3, estilo VHS noventero, y entramos en una escena en vivo con actores disfrazados, combatiendo como en la serie original.Los fans más atentos notaron que este tráiler fue grabado en Vasquez Rocks, el mismo parque en California donde se filmaron muchas escenas del programa original de los Power Rangers. Incluso es el lugar donde aparecía el Centro de Mando de Zordon. Esta conexión nostálgica hizo que muchos adultos gamers regresaran emocionados a ver el tráiler una y otra vez.  La temporada no es solo nostalgia. También es puro caos. La isla de Fortnite ha sido invadida por insectos gigantes. Esto conecta con el lore del juego: una criatura tipo kraken fue derrotada, pero dejó restos tentaculares que ahora liberaron a estos bichos. Esta invasión cambia completamente el paisaje del juego y la forma de jugar.A esto se suma una serie de filtraciones del Battle Pass que ya han adelantado parte de lo que viene. Habrá skins como el Spartan femenino de Halo, el White Ranger Tommy Oliver como skin de nivel 100, y otros personajes aún por revelar. Lo interesante es que algunas de estas filtraciones ocurrieron semanas antes del anuncio oficial, lo que generó una ola de rumores, hype y expectativas.  Epic Games confirmó oficialmente que el Mighty Morphin Bundle llegará a la tienda del juego a mediados de agosto. Este paquete incluirá los trajes del Ranger rojo, azul, amarillo, rosa y negro, además de accesorios y hasta una pista musical llamada Go Go Power Rangers Redux Jam Track. Y no solo eso: quienes compren el Battle Pass podrán desbloquear el Megazord a partir del 16 de septiembre si completan ciertas misiones.La temporada va a tener un evento especial a mitad de camino, donde el Megazord tomará el protagonismo para un gran combate contra los insectos. Fortnite está apostando fuerte por este cruce entre nostalgia, cultura pop y jugabilidad innovadora. No importa si llevas años sin jugar: este es un buen momento para volver.  Vasquez Rocks, donde se grabó el tráiler, no es un lugar cualquiera. Además de Power Rangers, ha aparecido en series como Star Trek, en películas de ciencia ficción, y hasta en videoclips. Es un lugar emblemático que se ha convertido en símbolo del entretenimiento de acción. Usarlo para este tráiler fue una jugada de respeto al pasado y a las personas que crecieron con estos héroes.La temporada se llama Shock 'n Awesome, un nombre que ya promete sorpresas. Y aunque aún no se han revelado todos los cosméticos del Battle Pass, se espera que haya más colaboraciones y referencias a series clásicas y nuevas. La mezcla entre insectos gigantes, guerreros con armaduras futuristas y superhéroes con dinosaurios mecánicos podría parecer caótica, pero en Fortnite, todo tiene cabida.Por cierto, el tráiler completo está disponible en YouTube y es uno de los más vistos de la semana entre los fans de cultura pop y videojuegos.  Fortnite va a traer a los Power Rangers, el Megazord y los Spartans de Halo en una sola temporada. Nostalgia y acción en formato Battle Royale. ¿Te animas a volver al juego? Cuéntamelo y escucha más en Flash DiarioLos Power Rangers, Halo y el Megazord llegan a Fortnite el 7 de agosto. Todo mezclado con bichos gigantes y nostalgia noventera.

In this special compilation episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together three powerful stories from athletes, leaders, and entrepreneurs who prove that your burn doesn't stop when the game ends—it only grows stronger.First, we kick things off with Bill Burke, former Michigan State quarterback and Spartan alum. Bill shares how football became his identity, the highs and lows of playing under pressure, and the emotional challenges that come when the lights go out. He also reflects on powerful leadership lessons from Coach Nick Saban—moments that shaped his view of discipline, self-respect, and mental toughness. This is a raw, real conversation on rediscovering purpose beyond the field.Next, we hear from Bryce Henson, CEO of Fit Body Boot Camp. Bryce opens up about a tough childhood, the adversity that could have broken him, and how fitness became his lifeline. From surviving to thriving, Bryce now leads one of the top fitness franchises in the country. He shares his secrets to leadership, the power of intentional focus, and why discipline is the gateway to your breakthrough.Finally, we wrap with Mark Pancratz, former elite D1 player, coach, and Illinois Basketball Hall of Fame inductee. Mark brings the heat as he explains how he took the same drive that made him successful in basketball and applied it to family, business, and life. Now a top-performing financial advisor, Mark is proof that the competitive spirit—when guided by discipline—can build success far beyond the game.This episode is for anyone who's ever had to pivot, rebuild, or reignite their burn. It's about identity, resilience, and carrying the lessons of competition into every arena of life.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gVpZBaVMVg0

Should Christians serve in the military? In this sobering and nuanced episode, Dru Johnson sits down with retired Colonel Darren Duke—Marine Corps Special Operations commander and intelligence officer—to unpack this deeply personal and morally complex question. Drawing from over 30 years of military experience, Duke shares his evolving view of military service, from Cold War patriotism to the hard-earned disillusionment of post-9/11 combat. He offers insight into how symbols like the Punisher, Spartan helmets, and Valhalla became coping mechanisms for troops struggling with the trauma and moral ambiguity of prolonged warfare. Duke also warns young Christians to prepare not only for the battlefield but for the morally challenging culture within the military itself. This conversation does not prescribe easy answers but outlines how one might think Christianly about enlistment, national service, and the weight of violence in a fallen world. Listeners will walk away better equipped to consider military service with sober realism, moral clarity, and theological depth. We are listener supported.

Article by Connor Yeck Plunge into the shallows off the Florida Keys, Hawaii or the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and you are likely to meet a startling sight. Where there were once acres of dazzling coral - an underwater world of dayglo greens, brassy yellows and midnight blues - is now a ghostly landscape, with many reefs seemingly drained of their pigment. Caused by stressful conditions like warming ocean temperatures, coral bleaching is a leading threat to some of our planet's most diverse and vital ecosystems. Now, a team of researchers has found that some corals survive warming ocean temperatures by passing heat-resisting abilities on to their offspring. Corals teach their offspring to beat the heat The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, are the result of a collaboration between Michigan State University, Duke University and the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, or HIMB, at the University of Hawaii at Mnoa. This work, funded by the National Science Foundation and a Michigan State University Climate Change Research grant, is crucial in the race to better conserve and restore threatened reefs across the globe. Coral reefs are habitats for nearly a quarter of all marine life, protecting coastlines from storms and erosion and supporting the livelihoods of millions of people around the world. Though still alive, bleached corals are at a much higher risk of disease, starvation and eventual mortality. In their latest study, the team explored how resistance to thermal stress is passed down from parent to offspring in an important reef-building species known as rice coral. These findings are helping researchers breed stronger, heat-tolerant generations to better face environmental stress. "The Coral Resilience Lab in Hawaii has developed amazing methods to breed and rear corals during natural summer spawning," said Spartan biochemist and study co-author Rob Quinn, whose lab takes samples of these corals and generates massive datasets on their biochemistry with instruments at MSU. "This is a true scientific collaboration that can support coral breeding and reproduction to cultivate more resilient corals for the warming oceans of the future." A colorful crowd The kaleidoscopic of shades we associate with healthy coral is the product of a bustling exchange of resources between a coral animal and its algae partners. When all is well, you might think of this relationship as that of tenants living in a home and paying a bit of rent. In exchange for cozy, sheltered spaces found within the coral tissue as well as nutrients, algae use photosynthesis to produce sugars. These sugars can provide up to 95% of the energy that coral needs to grow and form the sprawling, breathtaking reefs we know. In tropical waters often lacking nutrients, disruptions in this exchange - like those that occur during bleaching events - can be disastrous. When looking at a specimen of coral that's suffered bleaching, you're glimpsing a coral that's "kicked out" its algae, leaving behind a pale skeleton. "Corals are like the trees in an old growth forest; they build the ecosystems we know as reefs on the energetic foundation between the animal and algae," explained Crawford Drury, an assistant researcher at the Coral Resilience Lab at HIMB and co-author of the study. In the waters of Kaneohe Bay, the Coral Resilience Lab is spearheading research to best understand this coral reef ecology and the molecular mechanisms driving thermal stress. The lab is likewise pioneering the breeding of thermally resistant coral for experiments and the restoration of reefs, a highly specialized process few labs in the world can achieve. So, while you'd usually be hard pressed to find fresh coral for study in East Lansing, MSU's partnership with the Coral Resilience Lab has led to a globe-spanning collaboration that closes the gap between field and laboratory. "HIMB and MSU have developed a really amazing partnership. I'm just happy they've let me be a ...

In this episode, Toby Mathis, Esq., of Anderson Business Advisors, sits down with Ryan Gibson from Spartan Investment Group to discuss the current housing market and the unique opportunities in self-storage investing. They explore how the housing market has changed with low transaction volumes due to homeowners holding onto low-interest-rate mortgages, creating opportunities in alternative real estate sectors. Ryan explains how self-storage offers advantages over traditional rental properties, including no evictions, automated operations, and steady cash flow. The discussion covers Spartan's approach to acquiring mom-and-pop storage facilities and professionalizing their operations, the different investment strategies in self-storage, and how millennials have become the largest demographic using storage facilities. With over 800 million dollars in assets under management and a track record of 16 successful exits, Ryan shares insights on market consolidation, value-add opportunities, and why self-storage has been the best-performing commercial real estate asset class.

Send us a textWe think of Sparta as a grim place, more of a military barracks with some civilians attached than an actual city. Its inhumane marriage laws, nauseating eugenics program, brutal educational system, obsession with military training, and paranoid suspicion of non-Spartans all led French historian Henri-Irénée Marrou to label Classical Sparta as an ancient fascist state. But there was a time, as Marrou argues in his history of ancient education, when Sparta was the cultural center of ancient Greek life. Artists and musicians flocked to pre-Classical, archaic Sparta to find a population more appreciative of fine poetry and music than anywhere else in Greece. Jonathan and Ryan turn to the Spartan lyric poets Tyrtaeus and Alcman to investigate what Spartan education and society was like in the archaic period, before the city closed in on itself.Henri-Irénée Marrou's A History of Education in Antiquity: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780299088149Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780199537341New Humanists episode on Homer's Contest: https://newhumanists.buzzsprout.com/1791279/episodes/13949908-nietzsche-homer-and-cruelty-episode-lviM.L.

What does that level of philanthropic support say to you about the MSU community? (1:52) - Kim, you've been leading University Advancement through transformational growth. Can you walk us through what made this particular year stand out—and what it took behind the scenes to reach this milestone? (3:20) - The campaign title—Uncommon Will. Far Better World. —is bold and aspirational. What does ‘Uncommon Will' mean to each of you?

What are some of the ways this momentum is directly benefiting students, research, and MSU's mission right now? (7:47) - This past year included 5 gifts of $5 million or more, totaling $138M—which is remarkable. What are you hearing from donors at that level that gives them confidence in investing at MSU? (8:59) - What role has collaboration between faculty, deans, advancement officers, and university leadership played in this success? (11:28) - How are you fostering a culture of philanthropy not just among donors, but across MSU's internal teams—from students to staff to alumni ambassadors? (13:19) - The campaign has a bold $4 billion goal.

MSU is also in the early stages of its Uncommon Will. Far Better World. campaign. The public phase of the campaign was launched in March of 2025. Michigan State University, President Kevin Guskiewicz and MSU Vice President for University Advancement, Kim Tobin, join me to discuss fundraising's role in MSU's dynamic future. Kevin and Kim, great to have you back on MSU Today.Kevin Guskiewicz:Thanks for having us, Russ.  as always, I enjoy catching up with you.Kim Tobin:Thank you.Russ:Kevin, you've now completed your first full fiscal year at Michigan State, and what a year it was with over $380 million raised with more than 65,000 donors contributing to MSU's future. What does that level of philanthropic support say to you about the MSU community?Kevin Guskiewicz:Well, I think it reflects extraordinary belief in Michigan State University's leadership, the direction that we're headed, and our purpose as a leading global public research university. And we have amazing stories to tell, and that's what successful philanthropy is all about. I think it underscores our identity as a people-powered institution; our community is all in. And I think that incredible number that you mentioned there, from this past year, I think reaffirms our shared commitment to building a future grounded in access, excellence, and impact. And I think it's a clear sign that Spartans don't just believe in the mission, they invest in it.Russ:Kim, you've been leading University Advancement through transformational growth. Can you walk us through what made this particular year stand out and what it took behind the scenes to reach this milestone?Kim Tobin:Thanks, Russ. I think really at the heart, it's the team that's worked together. They've been disciplined. We created a strategy three years ago to elevate our success, and people have been committed to that strategy throughout the last three years, and we have also built on the foundation of strong relationships for many years before that. So, the teamwork by the Advancement staff and the strong collaboration across the colleges and units have really been our secret to success. And I want to give a special thanks to our deans and the senior directors of development in the colleges and units. We partner with 28 units on campus to realize this mission and launching the Uncommon Will. Far Better World. campaign also created visibility for what we are doing at the university, and all the positive programs that are happening.And one of the things that was evidence of people's belief in us is our historic success with our Give Green Day, back in March. It's a single day where we celebrate gifts of all sizes, and in that single day we had 7,716 gifts made totaling $2.2 million for many different funds across campus. So, it just showed the energy and excitement and the teamwork at play.Russ:The campaign title, Uncommon Will. Far Better World. is bold and aspirational. Kevin, maybe you first, what does Uncommon Will mean to you, and how is that playing out across the Spartan community?Kevin Guskiewicz:Well, I think it means that we do the extraordinary and the uniquely MSU things that distinguish us. And I think it's the relentless drive to push boundaries in research, teaching, and outreach.Kim Tobin:I would add that our donor community has shown that they choose action over apathy, and they want to make a difference. It's not just about doing more but doing it boldly and intentionally. I think our Spartan spirit, leading with purpose and perseverance is really evident.Russ:

The event took place on Thursday, June 5, 2025, at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center and was moderated by Ann Emmerich, Anchor at WILX News 10. This impactful conversation explored themes of leadership, adversity, and purpose. Garland shared his life-altering experience of surviving cardiac arrest in 2022, thanks to two brave passersby who administered CPR and helped save his life. That moment inspired him to launch Champions of the Heart, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding hands-only CPR training, access to CPR manikins, and AEDs throughout communities. Coach Tom Izzo joined the discussion to reflect on Garland's journey, their shared legacy at MSU, and the principles behind the Spartan training philosophy—a discipline explored in Garland's new book, AGOGE. Together, the coaches offered insights on high performance, resilience, and what it truly means to lead with heart. “This panel embodied what the Lansing Economic Club is all about—bringing people together to share stories that motivate and spark impact,” said Tim Daman, President & CEO of the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce. “We were honored to host Champions of the Heart Founder Mike Garland and MSU Men's Basketball Coach Tom Izzo for what proved to be an emotional and unforgettable program.” “I wouldn't be here today without two people who knew CPR,” said Coach Michael Garland. “Now it's my mission to make sure every community is equipped to save lives. This conversation was a chance to spread that message and celebrate the power of preparation and purpose.” “Mike Garland is not just a survivor—he's a servant leader,” said Coach Tom Izzo. “What he's doing with Champions of the Heart is bigger than basketball. I was proud to sit beside him and help amplify this life-saving message.” Event Details: • Date: Thursday, June 5, 2025 • Time: 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. • Location: Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center, East Lansing, MI • Book Signing & Sales: Immediately following the program, Coach Garland's book AGOGE will be available for purchase and signing in Big Ten Room C

Send us a textWaist-deep in freezing water, questioning everything, I faced the brutal reality of the 2025 Spartan Death Race—72 hours of nonstop, unpredictable suffering. From bear encounters to barbed wire crawls and cement hauls, the experience shattered comfort and tested my mental limits far more than my physical ones. What I learned is simple but powerful: the body rarely gives out before the mind does, and most people quit not from fatigue, but from belief. This race wasn't about finishing—it was about finding the part of myself that only reveals itself under extreme pressure.3 Key Takeaways:Mental endurance outweighs physical strength—the true battle is with the voice that says "quit."Discomfort is a teacher—when you make pain your ally, you unlock resilience and clarity.Adversity creates "memory dividends"—lasting lessons that outlive the moment and shape your mindset forever.Thank you for tuning in!

Send us a textThe sweet spot of human potential often lies just beyond where most people are willing to venture. What happens when we deliberately seek out our limits, not just to discover them but to push past them? This profound question sets the stage for my upcoming participation in the 2025 Spartan Death Race—one of the world's most extreme and unpredictable endurance challenges.My journey toward this event began in 2011 when, as a high school wrestler, I stumbled upon footage of participants diving into freezing Vermont ponds at 2AM to retrieve pennies needed to continue after already enduring 24+ hours of challenges. Where most saw pointless suffering, I recognized something magnetic—a rare opportunity to discover what exists beyond conventional boundaries. That fascination never faded, eventually leading to a conversation with Spartan founder Joe DeSena and ultimately, my acceptance into this legendary event.Unlike traditional races with clear parameters, the Death Race thrives on uncertainty. The experience begins months before the starting line with monthly challenges designed to eliminate the mentally unprepared—finding logs weighing more than your body weight to drag through snow, solving puzzles while hanging upside down, completing 500 tire flips. Of roughly 100 selected participants each year (chosen from those with impressive endurance résumés including ultramarathon finishes and special forces experience), approximately half abandon their commitment before race day arrives.What draws someone toward such deliberate difficulty? Two powerful motivations: discovering the better version of myself that exists on the other side of extraordinary challenge, and proving myself right about what I'm truly capable of. These lessons transcend the physical arena, building resilience applicable to every aspect of life. When we embrace discomfort rather than avoid it, we develop tools that serve us professionally, personally, and spiritually.The greatest potential often lies just beyond what we believe possible. What difficulty are you willing to embrace to discover yours? Join me on this journey by following along, and more importantly, by finding your own version of "doing hard things"—whatever that means for you.Thank you for tuning in!

In THIS episode of Who Would Win Unleashed, the cybernetically enhanced Spartan super-soldier Master Chief (championed by James Gavsie) takes on the lean, green, ninja machine known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (repped by Eric Holmes) in an all-out brawl across sewer tunnels, rooftops, and UNSC drop zones!Armed with Mjolnir armor, military-grade tactics, AI support from Cortana, and a weapons locker full of alien-slaying firepower, Master Chief enters the battlefield as the embodiment of human perfection through science and war. But the TMNT aren't just pizza-powered punks—they're a mutant brotherhood of martial arts mastery: Leonardo's precision, Donatello's tech smarts, Raphael's raw aggression, and Michelangelo's unpredictably wild style combine into a chaotic ballet of turtle-powered teamwork.As plasma grenades meet flying nunchaku and energy swords clash with twin katanas, this isn't just a battle—it's a clash of philosophies: lone-wolf military precision versus family-fueled ninja synergy.Join hosts James and Eric as they dive deep into comic-book lore, gaming stats, ninja scrolls, Halo kill-streaks, sewer-level tactics, and next-gen durability debates. Will Earth's last Spartan crush the turtle squad with tactical supremacy? Or will the half-shell heroes prove that four brothers are stronger than one lone legend?You can now support us on Patreon at Patreon.com/WhoWouldWinShowCheck out the Who Would Win YouTube Channel!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvvgEElLPGQG2GXkqMhQ5JwJoin our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/whowouldwinshowFollow u son Twitter: @jamesgavsie @whowouldwinshowFollow us on IG and Threads: @WhoWouldWinShow @jamesgavsie @theericholmesCheck out the Who Would Win Merch Store:https://saywerd.co/collections/who-whould-win-merchSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/who-would-win/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
