Podcasts about spiking

Few companies have a better real-time read on the American economy than Delta, and few CEOs are more willing to say what they actually think. Ed Bastian returns to Rapid Response to share what Delta's booking data is telling him that the headlines aren't, why he's not convinced by AI until it moves his top line, and how he decided to yank congressional travel perks during the government shutdown. He also explains what it takes to stay optimistic when fuel costs are spiking, the Strait of Hormuz is in the news, and the world keeps finding new ways to be unpredictable.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Trends in the News, Gerald Celente breaks down the powerful forces shaking the global economy.

What does substance awareness really look like when alcohol, drugs, nightlife, crew culture, safety, and personal responsibility all collide?In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman is joined by Stacey Miller for a raw, honest, and practical conversation about alcohol, drugs, harm reduction, drink spiking, crew safety, and why awareness matters in an industry built around travel, pressure, nightlife, and intense work.Stacey brings both professional expertise and lived experience to the conversation. Her background in drug and alcohol awareness, prevention, education, recovery support, and safeguarding gives her a clear understanding of why fear-based messaging rarely works, and why better information can help people make safer decisions before things reach crisis point.The conversation explores teenage drinking culture, hangovers, functioning drinking, substance use, drug testing, THC vapes, cocaine, ketamine, GHB, synthetic opioids, and the reality that many crew are navigating these risks while working in holiday destinations, nightlife hubs, crew houses, and high-pressure onboard environments.Cherise and Stacey also discuss drink spiking, sexual assault risk, green crew vulnerability, power imbalance, active bystander culture, social media stalking, reporting challenges, and why yacht crew safety cannot be reduced to telling women to “be careful.”This is not a lecture. It is a conversation about awareness, practical tools, crew responsibility, harm reduction, and a more honest approach to what actually happens around alcohol and drugs.In This Conversation: Alcohol, drugs, and changing social norms Functioning drinking versus problem drinking Why recovery is difficult once substance use becomes a lifestyle Different drugs and different risks Drug testing and yacht crew reality How Stacey entered the yachting world Antibes nightlife and crew vulnerability Harm reduction for crew on leave Why yachting can become the perfect storm Drink spiking in marina and nightlife environments What perpetrators may look for Green crew, power imbalance, and risk Active bystander culture Social media, stalking, and personal safety Spiking drugs and alcohol risks Reporting challenges and proof Yachting safety priorities Collective responsibility Guest:Stacey MillerHost:Cherise ReedmanSuperyacht LaundryPrefer to read?

Grid operators sit at the center of many of the biggest forces reshaping the global energy system. They're navigating rising electricity demand, a lack of transmission infrastructure, shifting regulatory policies, and maintaining the tricky balance between affordability, reliability, and the need for dispatchable power.  Both here in the US and around the world, operating a reliable and resilient grid—in the face of increasingly severe weather and complex interconnection demands—is more difficult than ever. And these challenges are felt well outside the power sector. Spiking utility rates in some regions have turned electricity into a major political issue. So, what does the future of grid planning tell us about the ultimate pace of the energy transition? How can system operators manage the surge in demand from AI and data centers without compromising reliability? And how can open-source grid planning tools help both developed and developing markets build a flexible power system for the next 30 to 50 years? Today on the show, Jason Bordoff speaks to Alice Yake about the opportunities but also the challenges in building cleaner electrical grids. Alice is vice president of GRIDS at Breakthrough Energy, where she leads a team focused on the development of an open-source grid planning ecosystem designed to make energy system modeling transparent, accessible, and trustworthy. Previously, she spent 14 years at the utility Xcel Energy, where she rose to chief planning officer. Before that, she worked for the oil and gas company Occidental. She started her career at Enron.

Drink spiking has become an increasing concern in recent years, and many incidents may go unreported. The government wants to introduce stronger laws to tackle the spiking of drinks and related offences. To discuss the measures the government can implement was Séamus McGrath, Fianna Fáil TD for Cork South Central.

The unemployment rate in Yuma County is in the double digits – higher than the rest of the state. The head of a food bank there on what that means for residents. Plus, we meet a local art collector who has traveled all over Mexico in search of rare ceramics.

The energy transition is in the midst of its own transition. Spiking electricity demand and geopolitical events are driving up energy prices, while debates over the best sources of generation play out amid supply chain constraints and questions about whether or not the energy crisis in the Strait of Hormuz will accelerate a transition away from oil and gas.  But underneath all those debates is a more basic question: do we have the data, evidence, and analytical clarity that is needed to understand where the energy world actually stands? Today on the show, Jason Bordoff speaks with Michael Cembalest about "Fighting Words: The Energy Transition in 2026," the latest installment of Michael's annual "Eye on the Market" energy report. It takes a hard look at the state of the energy transition and the many battles shaping the energy world today, from the so-called "primary energy fallacy," which can obscure how much useful energy renewables actually provide, to China's dominance in the sector, to the economics of electric vehicles. Michael is chairman of market and investment strategy for J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Prior to this role he was chief investment officer for J.P. Morgan's Global Private Bank, and has spent his entire career at the bank, joining the securities division in 1987. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

We talked about why inflation is so dangerous in retirement, how stocks can help you stay ahead of inflation, why dividend growth matters, how bonds behave in rising rate environments, and how tools like TIPS and I Bonds can fit into a broader strategy. We also talked about practical steps like reducing high-interest debt and managing spending more intentionally. Today I want to zoom out and talk about the bigger picture.

Road spiking: how motorists can stay safe | Sylvester, Live Traffic NPC by Radio Islam

This week I'm going to talk about how retirees can build a portfolio that is better designed to withstand inflation. We'll cover stocks, dividend-paying companies, bonds, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, and practical steps you can take to protect your purchasing power.

You're not failing. You've been fooled.The foods that were keeping me stuck, tired, inflamed, holding onto weight no matter what I did, were not the cookies. They weren't the candy. They weren't the obvious junk.They were the foods I was eating because I was trying to be healthy.The yogurt. The smoothie. The protein bar. The granola. The whole-grain everything. The stuff with the little health halo on the front of the package that made me feel good about my choices.And the whole time, they were spiking my insulin and quietly working against me.In this episode, I'm walking you through the seven worst offenders. The foods that look so good on paper and are keeping you stuck. We're also getting a little nerdy with the science (don't worry, I promise it'll make a difference), so you'll finally understand why insulin, not calories, is the number that actually matters. And I'll leave you with three simple swaps you can make this week to start taking your power back.If you've been doing everything right and still feel like your body isn't cooperating, this one's for you.Ready to start fixing your metabolism?

The dollar is rising again, and this time the pressure is showing up right across Asia. The Japanese yen is weak.  The South Korean won is tumbling.  The Indonesian rupiah is crashing. The Indian rupee keeps finding new ways to give officials fits. At the same time the dollar is rising against these Asian currencies, the very front of the U.S. dollar interest-rate market is doing something absolutely incredible. Shocking even. Completely the opposite of what you'd think. And here's the thing – these two developments are related. Why the dollar is hammering Asia most of all and how that would play out in rates. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Well, the Spurs finished off their Round 1 opponent so of course we are happy about that, and have already starting planning for the dynasty. Jeff was at the game and provided some perspective on the crowd. Apparently a round one win means fire in the streets for some fans though. Yep, we spent a lot of time waxing poetic about this win. We briefly talk about Silver's new 3-2-1 anti-tanking proposal and are thankful this was not in place a few years ago.And there was a gambling scandal on top of a gambling plea deal on top of a smuggling allegation made by a yacht captain.

Insurance companies are getting very specific when assessing which properties are exposed to risks like flooding, an insurance expert says, but there's a limit. An intense storm like the one that hit some Wellington suburbs yesterday could have happened anywhere, making the risk much harder to pin down to individual properties, Bryce Davies —climate spokesperson for AMI, State, and NZI— told Mike Hosking. If people didn't address the risks to their properties from flooding and wind damage it would “absolutely” have an impact on their insurance premiums, he said. Insurers would also be increasingly focused on perils like landslips in the coming years. But Davies said AMI, State, and NZI weren't making blanket decisions to pull insurance from some areas. “We're here to insure people…that's our business and so we're focused on making sure that we can do that.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The “Great Stall” is on. Home prices are stagnating or falling, and the hot markets are slowing down. Now, 40% of the U.S. housing market is in decline. This is exactly what we were waiting for. But new risks to the real estate market could flip this “stall” into something more serious. War. Spiking oil prices. A white-collar recession. What happens now? We're back with March's housing market update, giving you the newest data on home prices, inventory, affordability, and some surprisingly good insurance news.  We're living through what Dave predicted many months ago—the Great Stall. And while it may not sound all that great, there are actually some huge benefits of this stagnant market being passed on to homebuyers and real estate investors. In fact, your home insurance may actually be shrinking because of it. We'll get into detail on that in the show. But what about new risks? War in the Middle East, spiking gas prices, and rising unemployment. All of these could have serious effects on real estate. This isn't 2008 again, but we're carefully watching one metric that (if increased) could pose a substantial threat to the housing market.  In This Episode We Cover Why home prices “stalling” is actually a good thing for investors and homebuyers  Cheaper mortgage payments?

The war with Iran has sent global oil prices soaring and there's a lot of uncertainty about what comes next. Here in Massachusetts, that turmoil is affecting many residents who rely on fuel oil to heat their homes.

Gas prices in Southern California are skyrocketing, with Los Angeles County seeing averages of $5.17 per gallon and some stations charging over $8. The surge is attributed to the war in Iran and California's regulatory policies. The national average has jumped nearly 50 cents since the conflict began. Drivers are struggling, especially those relying on their vehicles for income. Experts note that reduced in-state gasoline production is exacerbating the problem. Websites like GasBuddy.com can help drivers find the cheapest prices nearby. The situation highlights the vulnerability of consumers to geopolitical events and the impact of local regulations on energy costs. Is the $8.21 price a sign of things to come?

War in the Middle East has caused oil prices to spike, and — right on cue — gasoline prices have risen quickly. They're up 34 cents in a week, according to AAA. That's the fastest price increase at the pump since 2022. And diesel prices just topped $4 a gallon this week, which will likely push up the cost of anything shipped by truck or train. Also on the program: a look at what's driving Texas supermarket construction.

We discuss the online live streaming phenom that is Clavicular and looksmaxxing as a feminisation of a masculine dynamic. Looksmaxxing's technologisation of the body is now firmly part of the transhumanist and posthumanist universe, as Peter Thiel's affinity with Clavicular (Braden Peters) indicates.  If Bryan Johnson's optimisation of the body is posthumanism in service of health in the face of death as the ultimate reality, looksmaxxing is its far unhealthier, destructive cousin. To what extent is adopting the gaze of others as a barometer of worth actually helpful to Clav's young male fanbase of chads, chuds, incels, and moggers? And why has this new peculiar language sprung up around the subculture of looksmaxxing?Plus, classmaxxing, why romantic love is necessarily a bit embarrassing, live streaming as the video gamification of real life, and the role of autism and social inhibition in all of this.

Most people unknowingly sabotage their metabolism and liver health first thing in the morning. In this episode, Ben explains why common “healthy” breakfasts spike insulin, shut down fat burning, and block liver repair before the day even begins. You'll learn what actually happens in your body overnight, why morning insulin sensitivity is so fragile, and how sugary or carb-heavy breakfasts lock you into fat storage mode all day long. Ben breaks down the hidden sugar content in foods like smoothies, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, and juice, and explains why this is a timing issue, not a willpower issue. Ben also shares a simple liver-reset morning protocol, including when to delay breakfast, when to eat, and what to eat to support fat burning, stable energy, and better labs. He answers common questions about fasting, muscle loss, women's hormones, smoothies, and why traditional breakfast advice is outdated. If you struggle with stubborn belly fat, morning brain fog, energy crashes, or worsening labs despite “doing everything right,” this episode will change how you think about breakfast forever.

You don't have a willpower problem. You have an insulin problem. In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down nine foods commonly marketed as “healthy” that are secretly spiking insulin, blocking fat burning, and keeping belly fat stuck, even if you're eating clean or cutting calories. You'll learn why fat loss is driven by hormones, not calories, and how insulin shuts down your body's ability to burn stored fat. Ben explains how foods like whole wheat bread, fruit juice, instant oatmeal, protein bars, low-fat yogurt, almond milk, agave, granola, and whole grain cereal can all create metabolic gridlock. More importantly, he shares simple food swaps that lower insulin faster than fasting, reduce cravings, stabilize energy, and restore metabolic flexibility. This episode also challenges the calories-in vs calories-out myth, explains why food quality matters more than calorie counting, and reinforces a core truth of metabolic health: you don't lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight. You'll also hear about: How insulin locks fat storage in place Why fructose targets the liver and increases visceral fat The role of inflammation in stubborn weight gain Why breakfast sets your fat-burning or fat-storing mode for the day Simple swaps that can flatten your belly within a week
