What do you do when life starts to feel like it's spiraling out of control and you can't figure out why? In this conversation, Haley and Dustin sit down with Levi Lusko, pastor, best-selling author, and founder of Fresh Life Church to talk honestly about grief, loss, and the unexpected season of crisis that led to his newest book, Blessed Are the Spiraling. Levi shares the devastating loss of his five-year-old daughter, the long reach of grief, and how he found hope in the midst of unimaginable pain. He also opens up about the 18-month personal spiral he walked through in midlife : panic attacks, identity questions, and the long road back to himself and Jesus. This conversation will encourage you and challenge you to see your hardest seasons differently. Your most difficult season might just be where God is doing his deepest work.

This Sunday we kick off our new **Book Club Series**
The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.5) Los Angeles had one of those days — wild police pursuits, a stolen pickup truck chase from Fontana to Lynwood, a dramatic K-9 takedown, and the 405 Freeway reopening after a deadly police shooting in Playa Vista. Conway breaks down the chaos, the public safety concerns, and his theory on why people drive around L.A. with their windows down — plus the life-saving tips you probably have not heard. Then, we get into election frustration, delayed ballot counting, and the big question everyone is asking: if L.A. is struggling now, how is the city going to handle the World Cup and the Olympics? Also on deck: WeHo Pride, the fear of accidentally ending up on live TV, and whether NBC’s Jonathan Gonzalez is secretly David Vassegh’s doppelgänger. L.A. chaos, breaking news, wild chase, police pursuit, stolen truck, K-9 takedown, 405 Freeway, Playa Vista, election drama, ballot counting, World Cup, Olympics, WeHo Pride, viral news, public safety.

Can I ask you something? When a hard emotion comes up, what's your first instinct? If you're like a lot of people, it's to fight it, analyze it, or pray it away as fast as possible. Because somewhere along the way, we started believing that feeling something meant we were about to spiral. In this episode, I'm going to gently push back on that. Feeling your emotions and spiraling are not the same thing, and the difference might surprise you. Also, don't forget!

- Tennessee's redistricting fight blows up the Democratic racial narrative, with the old map scrapped, Steve Cohen on the way out, and a black Republican woman now positioned to take the seat. - Justin Pearson turns the Statehouse into political theater, screaming about oppression while acting out a race-first script the episode treats as pure fraud. - Meghan Kelly and Tucker Carlson are hammered again for suggesting concern about radical Islam is somehow driven by Israel, while the episode insists the threat is domestic, immediate, and undeniable. - Spencer Pratt keeps emerging as the raw anti-establishment force in Los Angeles, landing direct hits on Karen Bass over the fires, the cover-ups, and the city's collapse. - Kamala Harris is cast as the perfect Democratic symbol: rich, insulated, and wildly out of touch, declaring the American dream dead while living a life that proves the exact opposite.

Michael Wolff and Nico Hines, the Daily Beast's Global Editorial Director, dissect a week where everything around Donald Trump seems to be unraveling at once—starting with the stark cautionary tale of Rudy Giuliani, once “America's mayor” and now a symbol of what loyalty to Trump can cost, abandoned and politically ruined. From there, they pivot into the escalating crisis with Iran, where Trump's strategy has left the White House cornered, oil prices surging, and insiders quietly admitting they have no clear way out of a conflict increasingly defined by drone warfare and global instability. The conversation then veers into the surreal overlap of politics and culture, as figures like Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez become unlikely players in Trump's orbit, turning elite spaces like the Met Gala into symbols of shifting allegiances and reputational risk. Layered on top of it all: brutal new polling showing Trump's support collapsing—not just with independents, but within his own base—raising the possibility that the very forces that once made him untouchable are now eroding in real time.

So you're not just coping with the spiral, you're removing what's creating it in the first place. If you're tired of overthinking, checking, looping, and feeling like your future depends on your ex, this will give you a completely different way to approach it and a path that actually moves you out of it.

Joanna Coles welcomes back Kurt Andersen to dissect what he argues may be Donald Trump's most unhinged week yet, from surreal AI depictions casting himself as Jesus to a deepening spiral of contradictions, conspiracies, and political theater that even longtime observers find startling. Drawing on decades of watching Trump up close, Andersen revives his now-infamous “Venn diagram” of lies, ignorance, and instability—warning that the overlap is expanding in real time—while unpacking the bizarre collision of religion, ego, and power now shaping the MAGA movement. The conversation covers the Pope's unexpectedly deft pushback to the growing discomfort inside Trump's own coalition, before zeroing in on RFK Jr.'s chaotic tenure, public health fallout, and a trail of denials that mirror Trump's own reality-warping playbook. As cabinet figures maneuver, allies hedge, and whispers of exits and fractures grow louder, Andersen paints a picture of a political universe edging toward something far more volatile than spectacle.

The Mets' brutal stretch takes center stage as frustration boils over and serious questions emerge about leadership, accountability, and whether this season is already slipping away. With losses piling up and confidence fading, the spotlight turns squarely to the manager and whether a change could spark anything meaningful. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash debate Carlos Mendoza's future, the culture inside the clubhouse, and why this team feels lifeless compared to past resilient Mets squads. They also react to Phillies fan outrage, compare dysfunction across teams, and ask the bigger question of whether any turnaround is realistic or if deeper issues are sinking this season.

Our culture's growing addiction to fear comes into focus through a surprisingly relatable moment—one that exposes how far we'll go to avoid discomfort and uncertainty. Jase, Al, and Zach connect it to a much bigger issue: the way constant headlines and global tension keep people stuck in a cycle of anxiety and overreaction. The guys push back on that instinct by revisiting what Jesus actually said about wars and unrest, highlighting a message that's often misunderstood and misapplied. They point to a deeper perspective rooted in faith, clarity, and trust in God's bigger plan. The conversation ultimately reframes how believers should respond to fear—not by numbing it or giving in to it, but by stepping out of the cycle entirely and living with confidence grounded in truth.

In today's episode, we dive into the rapidly escalating Iran conflict—with Marines receiving deployment notices, the Pentagon drawing up strike plans for Kharg Island, and the very real possibility of American boots hitting Iranian soil for the first time. Tom breaks down exactly what's at stake: why a ground war in Iran could be the defining moment of Trump's presidency, why the "Venezuela model" may have already failed, and what the seizure of Kharg Island—which processes 90% of Iran's oil exports—would actually mean for the region and the world. But that's just the beginning. The weekend's No Kings protests made headlines for all the wrong reasons—communist flags, chants for revolution, and a growing movement that Tom argues is being quietly funded and amplified by actors with deeply questionable motives, including a US billionaire currently living in Shanghai who has allegedly attended Chinese Communist Party propaganda workshops. Tom unpacks why the protests represent a real and legitimate frustration with Trump's governing style, while also exposing the terrifying irony of waving a hammer and sickle to protest tyranny. Then the conversation shifts to the deepest wound in American economic life: the K-shaped economy, modern monetary theory, and why deficit spending—not Elon Musk—is the single biggest driver of toxic inequality in this country. Tom challenges the "tax the rich" crowd with a cause-and-effect framework that might just change how you think about wealth, policy, and the future of the American middle class. Whether you believe Trump's Iran gamble is visionary or reckless, whether you marched last weekend or stayed home—this episode forces you to think harder about outcomes, not just intentions.
