OB449: Squeeze Played Released to show supporters on 8/16/2026 Public release scheduled for 8/26/2026 ✈️ Do you remember what you were doing 449 weeks ago? We do. We were recording our first podcast. Somehow, we're still here every week. Along the way, Opposing Bases has grown into an aviation community built around honest feedback, real-world flying and controlling, and the combined experience of AG, RH, and the listeners who bring their own experience to the conversation. No traditional ads. No corporate network. The reason the show has been able to keep going week after week is simple: the listeners who support it.
Small business optimism is rising—but so are the pressures of running one. Chris, Jonathan, and Sasha dig into the forces reshaping service businesses: a tightening labor market, soaring health insurance costs, the AI adoption gap, weakening pricing power, and the push to get more from existing teams. Is the answer hiring, training, technology, higher prices, or simply operating better? A practical debate about how growing businesses can navigate the squeeze without burning out their people or sacrificing growth.Produced by Trainual
Trump liest im Weißen Haus eine Rede ab, nimmt dabei das Wort Hyperliquid in den Mund, und Sekunden später schießt der Token von 60 auf 72 Dollar. Neben ihm steht der Chef der CFTC und verkneift sich mühsam das Grinsen, denn seine Behörde soll die Perps-Börse jetzt in die USA holen. Ob daraus ein echter Vorsprung wird oder am Ende doch alle Anbieter gleichzeitig ihre Lizenz bekommen, darüber sprechen Julius Nagel und Florian Adomeit in dieser Folge von Alles Coin, Nichts Muss. Hyperliquid ist allerdings nicht das Einzige, was diese Woche zum Mond flog. 2,5 Milliarden Dollar an Shorts wurden am Mittwoch liquidiert, Bitcoin lief bis auf 70.000 Dollar hoch und zog den Gesamtmarkt mit. Der Grund dafür muss nicht im Weißen Haus liegen, ein Blick ins US-Finanzministerium liefert die unbequemere Erklärung. Ob das am Ende Breakout oder Fakeout war, dazu hat Julius eine klare Meinung. Dazu EtherFi, vom Restaking-Protokoll zur Krypto-Kreditkarte umgebaut, 45 Prozent hoch in einer Woche, und Flo erkennt trotzdem keinen Burggraben. Ansem baut aus seinem Memecoin einen On-Chain-Index und will DexScreener ans Bein pinkeln, Eintritt ab 100.000 Dollar. Und zum Schluss die Community-Frage, die keiner gerne stellt: Was passiert mit euren Coins, wenn euch morgen der Bus überfährt?

Happy feast of St. Bernard of Clairvaux! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell welcome Kris McGregor to share wisdom from St. Bernard that shows up in the Office of Readings. Other guests include Gary Michuta with more Messianic prophecies, pastoral counselor Kevin Prendergast, and Rita Heikenfeld with Bible Foods. Plus news, weather, sports, and more… ***** The Memorare of St. Bernard of Clairvaux Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,that never was it knownthat any one who fled to thy protection,implored thy help,and sought thy intercession,was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence,I fly unto thee,O Virgin of virgins, my Mother,to thee I come,before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate!despise not my petitions,but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: ZUCCHINI BREAD Double chocolate zucchini bread/cake Ingredients:1 -1/2 cups shredded zucchini1 cup all purpose flour – I use King Arthur unbleached1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted1 teaspoon baking soda1/4 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon salt1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon1/4 teaspoon allspice1/2 cup canola oil1/2 cup sugar1/2 cup light brown sugar2 large eggs1 teaspoon vanilla3/4 cup semi- sweet chocolate chips Instructions:Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9 x 5 loaf pan. Set aside shredded zucchini. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Set aside. Beat oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until well blended and fold in zucchini. Add flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in chips. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool 10 minutes, then remove and finish cooling. Large Batch moist and marvelous zucchini bread with Chai essence Ingredients:3 cups grated unpeeled zucchini (squeeze moisture out before measuring and pack zucchini firmly into measuring cups)3 cups sugar1-1/2 cups vegetable oil – I used canola4 large eggs2 teaspoons vanilla3-1/4 cups all purpose flour1 teaspoon cinnamon2-3 teaspoons dry Chai tea blend – 2 will give a mild taste; 3 a more robust taste2 teaspoons baking powder1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1-1/4 cups chopped nuts – optional – I used toasted pecans InstructionsPreheat oven to 350.Spray 2 large loaf or 3 regular loaf pans.Mix zucchini, sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes.Combine flour, cinnamon, Chai blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nuts together. Add to zucchini mixture and blend well.Pour into prepared pans. Bake on middle rack 45 minutes to one hour or until done. A toothpick inserted deep into center will come out clean. My 2 large loaf pans took 55 minutes to bake. Tips:Ball bat sized zucchini works great If you grow zucchini, you know it can go from slender to ball bat size seemingly overnight. Overgrown zucchini has good flavor and shreds up just fine. Can you peel zucchini? I don’t, but Cheryl Bullis, a professional baker from Clermont County, does peel her zucchini before measuring. Squeeze hard to get moisture out. Zucchini is notorious for a high moisture content which can make batter too runny. Add nuts to dry ingredients; This insures that the nuts stay suspended throughout the bread and prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf. ***** Full list of guestsSupport the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What role do intelligence services play under a president that does not heed their advice? That's one of the questions Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter Tim Weiner posits in his most recent book, The Mission, which details how the modern Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has evolved during the era of the global war on terror. Weiner describes the evolution of the missions undertaken by the CIA, which were historically driven by presidential desires to change the world through covert action, and contrasts them with the post-Cold War agency that grapples with trust and reputation in the information era. Weiner also discusses how the delicate interplay between betrayal and trust underwrites intelligence work, the common aim of pursuing secrets that intelligence and journalism share, and why he believes the cumulative effects of partisan purges within intelligence services under President Donald Trump leaves the United States in a dire state of danger. Sir Richard Dearlove and guest co-host Rosanna Lockwood dive into the news stories in geopolitics shaping the world this week: how a secret CIA task force in Cuba may be laying the groundwork for a more American-friendly government, why the construction of a new giant embassy for China is igniting political NIMBY-ism in London, and what US intelligence says about how stray Russian missiles and drones may be Putin's way of testing NATO's resolve.

Peter Zaitzeff has done nearly $5 billion in NYC sales, over 1,000 transactions, more than $300 million in the last year alone. He watches the Olshan Report every week like a bible. And here's the math he's running: Manhattan has roughly 4,000 units of inventory right now. The pipeline through the end of 2027 delivers only about 1,900 more. The market absorbs 600 per quarter. Do the math, and he's saying: zero inventory by 2027. "It's not drinks and gifts. It's showing up with the weekly report for 10 years. Then they let you sell the $60 million apartment." Noah Rosenblatt and John Walkup sit down with Peter Zaitzeff, top-producing broker at Serhant. In 25 minutes he walks through the state of the NYC luxury market (30+ contracts a week for 12 straight months, most consistent he's ever seen), the specific building feature driving the fastest sellouts at the highest prices, the origin story that took him from unpaid intern to selling with Ryan Serhant and Steve Witkoff, and the discipline he uses to keep operating at that level day after day. What you'll learn: The state of the luxury market. 30+ contracts a week for 12 straight months at $4M+. COVID low: 1-2 a week. Post-COVID peak: 45-55. Peter's read: this is the most consistent luxury market he's seen in 15 years. The inventory math. About 4,000 units on market today. About 1,900 new dev in the pipeline through 2027. Market absorbs 600 per quarter. Zero inventory by 2027. Smart money is buying now. The porte cochere theory. The single biggest driver of new-development sell-through velocity. 150 Charles sold out in 3 months. Greenwich Lane took years. Same buyers, same market. The difference was the porte cochere. Peter has the receipts. The post-COVID amenity shift. Cold plunge, steam, infrared sauna, gyms. Health-and-wellness amenities are now materially moving the needle on sell-out velocity. How to actually win the developer. Not drinks. Not gifts. Ten years of weekly analytics emails. Peter's $60M downtown record came after nearly a decade of proving himself with rentals and smaller sales for that same client. The offering-plan hack that launched his career. As an unpaid intern, Peter memorized the 150 Charles offering plan front to back: 91 units, 80 unique floor plans, every square footage and view angle. That was how he earned a seat on showings with Leonard Steinberg and Rafael De Niro. The advice that separates a top broker from a great one. "You have to know more than I know. That's where you create value." If you're building a career or a team, this is the frame. The running-as-endurance metaphor. Peter is an ultra-marathoner. His take on being a broker: "We're running a marathon every day and we don't know where the 23rd mile is." Get up. Do the three minutes. The next 30 follow.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The US military campaign against Iran has so far failed to force the regime to capitulate. The Trump administration is betting once again that suffocating economic pressure will do the job. Facing a shortfall of necessary munitions and wary of continuing an unpopular war, Trump and his top officials are returning to a familiar playbook with the regime: relying on a steady increase in economic sanctions and a naval blockade to stifle oil exports.2) The death toll from Colombia’s earthquake rose to 265 as President Abelardo de la Espriella moved to declare an economic emergency to confront the fallout from the strongest tremor to strike the country in 47 years. The 7.4-magnitude quake that struck Aug. 10 was the second strongest recorded in Colombian territory in the past century. Fatalities reached 265, with nearly 3,500 injured and 500 missing, De la Espriella said from the presidential palace in Bogota.3) Billionaire Mark Walter’s firm is in talks with investors to raise money to help pay down loans on the books of its insurers that had drawn scrutiny from the Justice Department, according to people familiar with the matter. TWG Global has approached multiple investment firms about a range of deals to raise cash, said the people, who asked not to be identified describing private discussions. The firm has been working on plans to address concerns about the outsize loans Walter’s insurers have made to other parts of his investment empire, and those efforts have ramped up in recent days, said some of the people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finally, I unpack Anthropic's plan to watermark Claude-generated output and why it raises a much bigger question about authorship: how much AI help can a document get before people stop seeing it as yours?

A single radio station can explain an entire era if you listen closely enough. We rewind to WLIR 92.7 and the Screamer of the Week, when DJs pitched their favorite new songs and listeners called in to vote, turning early 1980s rock radio into a hands-on discovery engine. That lens lets us hear 1981 the way it actually felt: unpredictable, genre-blurring, and way ahead of the mainstream curve. We jump from The Tubes' “Talk To Ya Later” to the behind-the-scenes web that connects Vince Welnick, the Grateful Dead, and Steve Lukather's instantly recognizable guitar work. From there, we track the early MTV effect and why music video exposure changed record sales, then land on deep-cut details around PhD and Squeeze's “Tempted,” including the kind of production and guest-vocal surprises you'd never catch without liner notes and obsessive re-listening. We also dig into the UK approach to singles versus the American “greatest hits” mindset, which helps explain how some songs live outside the album cycle. Stevie Nicks' “Edge of Seventeen” brings in influence, misheard words, and that Police-inspired guitar feel, and Duran Duran's “Girls On Film” turns into a mini history of censorship, nightclub cuts, and what MTV could and couldn't show. Along the way we veer into peak real-life tangents: a legendary misheard-lyrics moment, a tabloid Brooklyn Bridge headline, a dog casually attending Rush at Madison Square Garden, plus a quick “Minute with Jimmy” review of the Strokes' new album Reality Awaits. If you love alternative rock history, 1980s music stories, and the weird little facts that make songs stick, hit play.

We open on the story all of hospitality shared this week: Aman's brand-new, $6,000-a-night Amanvari turning away independent reviewer Ryan Walker at the gate on night two, then calling the cops on his driver. Scott and Sarah are inclined to give Aman the benefit of the doubt. Ben isn't — he thinks it might be the canary in the coal mine for a brand scaling faster than it ever has. From there we get into The Squeeze, Sarah's reporting on the crisis crushing America's small and mid-scale hotel owners. Record brand profits, owners barely cash-flowing, and a franchise model showing real cracks. We dig into why owners are revolting, what deflagging really costs, the financing fears keeping them locked to their flags, and the gut-punch of learning the Google reviews you spent eighteen years building don't belong to you — they belong to the brand. Then Marriott's new rebate: a real concession, or breadcrumbs tossed to the good boys who hit their guest-satisfaction scores? Sarah makes the case that the credit card companies are now the biggest force in travel, and that Amex and Capital One are building their own soft brands in plain sight. We close with a game — the hotel accounts winning on social, and the 99% still getting it wrong. This one's loaded. Come hang. — This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey.

Send us Fan MailThe Astronaut (2025) spends a long time whispering “something is wrong” and then, in the final minutes, it starts yelling. We go full spoiler mode on this Kate Mara sci fi thriller and try to figure out how a movie can feel like nothing is happening while also setting up one of the most unhinged twist endings we have seen in a while.We talk craft the whole way through: what suspense is supposed to do, why thrillers need a steady climb of evidence, and how microbudget filmmaking can either feel inventive or like the movie is “vibing” its way past basic logic. Along the way we hit the weirdest choices, a remote house in the woods that no real space agency would use, surveillance tech that barely matters, and a family dynamic that seems engineered so the ending does not feel too cruel. We also get into the body horror tipping point, the cicada weirdness, and the moments where the film teases three different movies at once: alien infiltration, mental breakdown, and government conspiracy.Then we finally land on the twist and the actual plan, and it is so bold it makes us reconsider the whole ride. After that, we cool down with what we are watching and hating this week, from Love Island UK wins to trailer disappointments to Tony's absolute fury at Dungeon Crawler Carl.

This episode of The Common Bridge is part of a special 21‑part series of interviews recorded with healthcare leaders from across Michigan during the 2026 Mackinac Policy Conference, in partnership with the Michigan Health and Hospital AssociationHealth care isn't just a line item anymore, it's the issue that keeps showing up in every hallway conversation. From the 2026 Mackinac Policy Conference, we sit down with senior health care executive Rob Casalou to get a clear-eyed view of what's pressuring hospitals in Michigan and across the country, and why the usual policy debates are starting to miss the real story. We compare what Rob sees across multiple states, from Michigan's purple-state gridlock to places like Iowa, where lawmakers are moving to penalize inappropriate insurance claim denials. We get specific about how “denials” can shift from legitimate documentation checks into a strategy that delays payment and inflates administrative costs. We also talk about why states as different as California and Idaho still end up wrestling with the same core topics: 340B drug pricing, site-neutral payments, hospital-based reimbursement, and the challenge of explaining any of it in plain English that connects to patients and communities. Then we zoom out to the bigger warning lights. Rob explains why HR1 and upcoming Medicaid revenue hits, combined with simultaneous changes to 340B and site-neutral rules, could put some hospitals at real risk. We also ask the question that keeps coming up in Michigan health care finance: if Medicare and Medicaid now represent the bulk of patients, how do we modernize those programs instead of constantly cutting around the edges while carrying the administrative costs of a fragmented system? If you care about Michigan health care policy, hospital sustainability, and what actually drives costs, listen through and share it with someone who still thinks this is just about “waste.” Subscribe, leave a review, and send us your take: what's the first fix you'd make?Support the showEngage the conversation on Substack at The Common Bridge!
Some bands reunite because nostalgia sells. Others reunite because they still have something to say. Listening to Haircut 100's new album, Boxing the Compass, it's pretty clear which camp they fall into. This week, Steve welcomes the always charming Nick Heyward back to Stuck in the '80s to talk about the band's first album featuring the original lineup in an astonishing 44 years. Rather than trying to recreate 1982, Haircut 100 has delivered an album that acknowledges the decades that have passed while still carrying the wit, warmth and melodic sparkle that made them one of the most distinctive bands of the early MTV era. Nick talks about reconnecting with his longtime bandmates, finding the creative chemistry that had been dormant for decades, and why making new music together ultimately felt more exciting than simply revisiting the old hits. Steve also offers his thoughts on Boxing the Compass, discussing why it avoids so many of the pitfalls that plague reunion albums. Instead of sounding like a museum piece, it feels alive, adventurous and unmistakably Haircut 100. The conversation also looks ahead to the band's upcoming North American tour alongside Adam Ant and Squeeze—a lineup that feels like someone raided an exceptionally good mixtape from 1982. And for fans planning even farther ahead, Nick shares his excitement about appearing aboard The 80s Cruise in 2027, where Haircut 100 will once again be surrounded by thousands of people who still know every word to "Love Plus One," "Fantastic Day" and "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)." Whether you've followed Nick since the days of Pelican West or you're just discovering why Haircut 100 remains one of the smartest, most melodic bands of the decade, this conversation is one you won't want to miss. So pour yourself something tropical, dust off the pastel blazer you swore you'd never wear again, and join us for another trip back to the decade that refuses to fade. Join Us on The 80s Cruise! If talking with Nick makes you wish you could hear Haircut 100 while sailing through the Caribbean... good news—you can! Haircut 100 joins an incredible lineup aboard The 80s Cruise 2027, where you'll enjoy live performances, artist interviews, trivia, themed parties, and enough nostalgia to make your Walkman jealous.
