The San Francisco 49ers walked into Cleveland and handled business, securing a statement win over the Browns — and tonight we're breaking down EVERYTHING. From Brock Purdy's efficiency to the defense stepping up when it mattered most, this was a “get at me dawg” type of performance from start to finish.In this whole 60-minute show, Wayne Breezie dives deep into:

On this episode of The It Doesn't Matter Podcast, Dom is joined by BDC, Strap Facts, and Ringside Steve as the crew breaks down NXT Deadline 2023 from top to bottom.We kick things off with our weekly rundown—talking major wrestling headlines, WWE storylines, AEW moments, and everything shaking up the industry right now.Then we dive straight into the Deadline card:

This episode of The Burt Selleck Podcast is a sprawling exercise in absurdity, contradiction, and relentless riffing—a 90-minute meander through toilet-brain sports talk, dodgeball-based geopolitical allegories, and that old chestnut: Hitler's micro penis. The boys, as ever, swerve between high-concept satire and middle-school locker room banter, stopping just long enough to half-sincerely debate toaster slots and the acoustics of bodily functions.Structurally, there's none. You're either on this unhinged frequency or you're left behind with the International Dodgeball Federation's dignity. The episode's recurring IDF bit cleverly (and maybe accidentally) toys with real-world political subtext but swerves safely back into parody territory with nonsense like aborted fetus cannons and sperm-powered snow plows.Standout moments include Alex's deranged fantasy of melting snow with his crotch heat and the heartfelt discussion of gay real estate—yes, really. The riffs on web crawlers, NHL mic'd-ups, and ancient Pompeii masturbation fossils? Pure, deranged gold.Would I recommend this episode? Only to the sickos. Only to the listeners who prefer their comedy unpredictable, offensive, and occasionally brilliant. Not for the faint of heart, but if you've made it this far, you're already implicated.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the show where behavioural science meets workplace culture, brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network. This week, Leanne sits down with Christian Laing, co-founder of Stand Out Socks and one of the most compelling voices in ethical employment today. Christian's story began with something simple: wanting his younger brother Ross, who has Down syndrome, to have meaningful, paid work. What followed became a movement that is challenging an entire system built on unpaid labour, tokenism and decades of “this is just how it works.” In this conversation, Christian talks honestly and openly about the early days, the struggle to keep the business alive, the moment he realised paid roles were possible, and the wider question he wants every leader to consider: What assumptions am I making about who is capable? Stand Out Socks isn't just a company. It's an example of what work can look like when we remove red tape, build roles around people, and refuse to exploit those who've been overlooked for too long. Christian shares the reality of navigating misconceptions about Down syndrome, the emotional weight families carry, and why representation matters far beyond the product. This is a raw, unedited conversation — the pauses matter, the honesty matters, and the humanity matters. It's a reminder that culture isn't built with slogans; it's built with decisions. If you're a leader, a business owner, a hiring manager or a parent of someone with learning disabilities, this episode will stay with you. In this episode How Christian went from “someone should hire Ross” to “I'll do it myself.” Why meaningful, paid work transforms confidence, purpose and community. How Stand Out Socks grew from one family's challenge into a national mission. The emotional reality behind inclusion — from joy to grief to rebuilding. What leaders misunderstand about capability, opportunity and potential. Why “creating space for someone to shine” is not charity — it's leadership.

This one's a favorite. We HAD to bring it back. Back when we were just getting started, there were people who felt way out of reach. Today's guest was one of them... until we made it happen. In this episode, we sit down with **John Lee Dumas** — host of *Entrepreneurs on Fire*, a podcasting legend with over 3,800 episodes, 130 million listens, and $24M+ earned. Yeah. That's real.

JLD shares: - How to stand out in a crowded space (even if you're just starting) - Why “niching till it hurts” might be the only way to win - The simple mindset shift to get consistent with your content - How publishing daily changed everything - The behind-the-scenes of building a 7-figure podcast brand We talk hustle, systems, monetization, and why publishing even when you feel like an imposter is your secret weapon.

What if the fastest way to a better mix is caring more about the human, the song, and the signal path than the plugin chain? We pulled seven moments from our 2025 conversations that changed how we write, record, mix, and master, and stitched them into one practical, heart-first guide you can use on your next session.We start where great records begin: with the singer. Rich Bozic, a professional vocal coach, shares why physical comfort is essential for sound design, encompassing layers, a calm seat, a dialled-in headphone mix, and planned breathers to manage fatigue. Then we zoom out with Dan Giffin, who reminds us that composition beats the perfect kick. His three-touch rule snaps you out of tweak loops and keeps momentum high, while a top-down approach to mixing preserves the vibe you loved in production.Next we clean up the myths around digital audio with Ian Stewart's crystal-clear take on sample rate and the Nyquist theorem. You will understand why 48 kHz often hits the sweet spot for modern workflows, how aliasing and imaging appear, and when oversampling actually matters. We carry that clarity into big, emotive mixes with Drum X Wave and Brian Skeel: translate vision to buses first, let guitars and synths complement rather than collide, and make size breathe with arrangement, not brute force.We also unpack the creative blind spots Michael Oakley calls out, how you can become “noseblind” to your own work and why feedback before the third rewrite can save songs. And we wrap with Eric Mitchell on mastering restraint: distortion as salt, not a main course. A little saturation wakes the record; too much smears it. Forget the viral “crank it” tips and listen for blur as much as for bite.Links mentioned in this episode:Listen to E194Listen to E181Listen to E203Listen to E215Listen to E207Listen to E188Listen to E182Send me a messageSupport the showWays to connect with Marc: Listener Feedback Survey - tell me what YOU want in 2026 Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Book your FREE Music Breakthrough Strategy Call Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we're joined by Kristy and Annette Burns—better known as the Wander Women.  About seven years ago, Kristy and Annette ditched the home with the white picket fence, retired, moved into an RV, and shifted their focus to a life centered on freedom and adventure. Since then, they've taken on the AT, PCT, CDT, Arizona Trail, Tahoe Rim Trail, the O Circuit, plus a slew of cycling and packrafting trips. We get into what it takes to keep your body ready for thru-hikes at retirement age, why downsizing has made them so much happier, the community they've found on trail, and a whole lot more.  We wrap the show with what to wear when hiking in the desert, how to dry the inside of your water bladder, and the triple crown of chairs.

Second verse….just like the first! BAM! … Another Double Movie Review! The Boyz loved the last double feature movie review so they decided to do it ALL OVER AGAIN! First up, kinetic visualist @edgarwright brings us the second adaption of “The Running Man”. Written by Stephen King (under a pseudonym of Richard Bachman) and famously adapted in 1987 to the screen starring one Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cupcake and WillDaBeast answer the question on everyone's mind: Not “Is Glen Powell STILL a thing?” but “Is this true-to-story adaptation better than AH'nuld's”? Next: The director of the smashing successful Neon releases “LongLegs” and “The Monkey” returns with the folk horror chamberpiece (Editor's note: Can we ban this term from the show? Dislike!). Standout actors Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland act in a slow-burn horror Grimm Fairy Tale-esque thriller. But are all the “WTF”s and mystery imagery shenanigans worth the punchline?

Frank and Shirley break down Survivor Season 49 Episode 9, “If You're Loyal to All, You're Loyal to None.” They dig into Rizzo's sharpest strategic episode yet, how he pulls Sophie into his orbit, and why the tribe keeps letting his idol stay in play. Savannah's endurance run continues, making her feel more and more like a lock for the endgame. Along the way, they talk about Christina's reward sacrifice for Joanne, how that kindness plays in modern Survivor, and why Alex's middle-game finally catches up to him. The back half turns into fun Survivor meta: how edits and fan perception have changed over the years, career “secrecy” in the game, and early buzz for Season 50, including a huge premiere and special CBS lead-in programming.Timestamps and Topics00:00 Intro, Shirley joins the recap, early praise for Rizzo01:00 Standout moments and why reward negotiations are underused02:20 Christina's kindness and what her reward sacrifice says about her game03:00 Savannah vs Sophie endurance battles and Parvati era comparisons03:45 How Survivor edits and fan attitudes have evolved over time05:10 Post-merge fallout, Sophie alienated, and Rizzo's trio solidifies07:20 Bottoms Up Alliance talk, idol intel, and the push to target Sophie10:35 Reward challenge play by play and Christina gives Joanne her spot15:20 Camp strategy: Savannah vs Rizzo as the real threat, and vote-splitting logic18:45 Career secrets, Savannah as a news anchor, and casting wish list talk22:10 Immunity challenge, Stephen's “space facts,” and Savannah's clutch win26:15 Pre-tribal scramble, Rizzo makes Alex public enemy number one30:20 Tribal council themes, idol mind games, and the vote outcome34:30 Favorites, Facebook theories, Season 50 hype, and On Fire behind-the-scenes notes40:35 Final thoughts and sign-offKey TakeawaysRizzo graduates from “good at challenges” to full-on strategist, and this episode shows why he's headed to Season 50.Savannah keeps winning the exact kind of endurance immunities that matter late-game, giving her a strong path to the finale.Christina giving up the reward for Joanne is a heartfelt move, but it also highlights how generosity can be both social capital and a possible target.The tribe's refusal to flush Rizzo's idol is baffling and could cost them the game.Alex's attempt to play both sides works until it doesn't. Once his scrambling becomes visible, the group has an easy excuse to cut him.Sophie is in a tricky free-agent spot, weighing short-term safety with Rizzo and Savannah against the risk of being alienated again.Season 50 chatter is heating up, with a long premiere on the way and CBS planning a ramp-up of classic episodes tied to returning players.Quotes“There's a reason he's in 50.”“Every conversation counts. Every move.”“I'm not out here performing. I'm a good person.”“The 4D chess version is taking them out in a neutral way so they're your cheerleader, not your jury.”“This is what I get for playing both sides.”Call to ActionIf you enjoyed the recap, make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss next week.

Montana State analyst Michael Rider joins Colter Nuanez for a discussion including Cat-Griz memories, Caden Dowler's rise to an elite FCS player, the college football player factory that is Billings West High and key matchups in Saturday's 124th rivalry showdown between Montana and Montana State in Missoula. 

Having first cut her teeth playing for friends at London house parties before graduating to the equally intimate confines of speakeasies and small clubs, the journey of Jordanian DJ, Maya, has led her to be a proponent of underground genres and subgenres.  While she maintains her base in the English capital, Maya's musical soul is still very much back home, as she channels her global influences into Jordan's own burgeoning electronic music scene. This dedication extends to her role as co-founder of naqd, a popular Amman-based party series born from the collective vision of three friends. With a shared commitment to building community, naqd has become celebrated for fostering an atmosphere of intimacy and radical inclusivity within the city's nightlife. For her exclusive set for the latest episode of SceneNoise's long-running Select series, Maya starts off with a focused energy that showcases breakbeat-heavy electro, characterised by nostalgic 90s and early-2000s breaks and layered with cosmic synthesisers. It then shifts subtly, moving into a section defined by deeper, percussion-driven sounds, before finally dissolving into the stripped-back, hypnotic rhythm of minimal house. Standout tracks in this narrative-driven sonic journey include Fantastic Man's 'I Love You Bab', Boom Generation's 'Somefunkydrum', Conan's 'Liga (Nesta Remix)', and Neighbour's 'Ordinary Unusual', offering a snapshot of Maya's curatorial vision.

Ready to trade plugin FOMO and meter anxiety for moves that actually make your tracks better? Marc pulls seven stand-out moments from a huge year of conversations with producers, engineers and artists to help you finish faster, mix with confidence and stay creatively sharp.We kick off with a surprising angle on depth: shaping contrast with bit depth instead of defaulting to saturation. You'll hear how assigning different resolutions to drums, pads, and leads can create three-dimensional mixes that hold up in mono and stereo. From there,  dismantle the gear trap. Modern DAWs already include the essentials; the real upgrade is mastering fundamentals like tonal balance, gain staging and arrangement so every later purchase has purpose.Loudness gets a refresh with a simple truth: LUFS is the result of mastering, not the target. Focus on tone, punch and cohesion, then check integrated LUFS for how platforms will treat your music. We lean into ear-first decisions, too—set a solid static mix, push the faders, and don't let a scary-looking EQ curve talk you out of the right move. On the mastering front, we explore why a dedicated mastering engineer is often the first truly fresh set of ears your project gets, and how that perspective helps you avoid circular tweaks and ensures reliable translation.Songwriting fans get a creative jolt as we talk about lyrics as well-narrated hallucinations grounded in truth. Wait for ideas that feel necessary, then go all in. Finally, we round things out with workflow wisdom: reference tracks, clear sound selection, minimal EQ, and fader-first mixing to keep momentum high and second-guessing low. If you want practical, repeatable steps that improve your music across streaming, clubs and headphones, this highlight reel delivers.Links mentioned in this episode:Listen to E179Listen to E199Listen to E186Listen to E197Listen to E193Listen to E187Listen to E213Send me a message Support the showWays to connect with Marc: Listener Feedback Survey - tell me what YOU want in 2026 Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Book your FREE Music Breakthrough Strategy Call Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

This sermon is based on Matthew 5:14-16. You can also view each week's sermon/worship service on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5ncsq_QNvCv61bIwKUpP5A SERIES OVERVIEW: What in the world convinced people back in the Roman world to abandon their beliefs and gods and come to Christ? After all, there were no immediate incentives—no promises of instant and lasting health; no promises of a life of exorbitant happiness; no promises of immediate and continued wealth and no promises of adoring popularity. There were, however, plenty of deterrents. In fact, anyone who became a Christ follower back then could expect a largely negative response from others. So, what in the world convinced them to make such a commitment? Surprisingly, it was the people in the church. And unsurprisingly, it is the same thing today. That's what we want to explore in our new series which we are calling, “Stand Out.”

My Guest: Derek Sivers is the founder of CD Baby and author of "Hell Yeah or No" and "Useful Not True." He shared how he graduated from Cal Berkeley in two years instead of four because the "standard pace for chumps" - a lesson that shaped his entire career of institutional skepticism and unconventional thinking. From creating viral shipping emails to understanding why explorers make bad leaders, Derek shares why being busy means being out of control, how your first thought is an obstacle to your best work, and why you can't predict what the world will want from you until you try everything and listen closely to what it's telling you. Notes: No Speed Limit – Most things are paced so the slowest person can keep up. If you're driven and motivated, you can go so much faster than the standard pace. I graduated from Berkeley in two years by learning four semesters of harmony in one hour. "The standard pace is for chumps. You can do so much better than that." Question the Standard Process – When someone says you must go through usual channels or something will take a certain time, assume there's probably a hack. Develop institutional skepticism - there's usually a better way than how most people do it. Create Opportunities, Don't Wait for Them – You don't have to wait until a company is hiring. If you can see how to benefit them, walk in and show them what you can do for free first. Alan Tepper made Warner Brothers more money than anyone that year by just showing up with a plan. Make Everything Valuable to Others – The starving artist spends all their time on work valuable to them but not to others. Use money as a neutral measure - if you can make money with your art, it ensures what you're doing is valuable to other people. "It's almost impossible to predict what the world will want from you... Keep yourself out there and listen closely to what the world is telling you it wants from you." Stand Out by Being Different – Don't imitate what everyone else is doing. I wrote a silly shipping email in 10 minutes that became one of the most viral emails ever mentioned in business books. Ask yourself constantly: What has nobody done before? The First Follower Creates the Movement – We focus on the shirtless dancing guy, but the first follower is what made everything happen. Until then, people kept their distance from the freak. If you find someone doing something great, follow them and show others how to follow. Every Sentence Must Matter – My books are 90-100 pages, but start as 1,000-page rough drafts. I spend 1-2 years full-time chopping every sentence that doesn't absolutely need to be there. "I'm not gonna put a single sentence out into the world that doesn't need to be there." Make every word count - eliminate everything that doesn't add value. Hell Yeah or No is Context-Dependent – This tool is for when you're overwhelmed with options and need to raise the bar. Straight out of college, say yes to everything because opportunities are like lottery tickets. Once something rewards you, then say no to other things and double down. Busy Means Out of Control – "Busy to me implies out of control. You're busy if you've let other people shove shit into your schedule." Leave space instead of filling it - that time to think is what creates valuable insights others don't have time to develop. Your First Thought is an Obstacle – Don't honor the thought that came first. In brainstorming, acknowledge the first idea, then keep going - don't stop at two or three. Even silly ideas can seed great ones you'd never reach without that stepping stone. All Beliefs Are a Myth – People worshiped Zeus for centuries; now we call it mythology. But we say our own beliefs are true while others' are superstitions. I expected China to be awful from American news, but found it wonderful - question what you've been told. Use Prejudice as Your Compass – If you notice you're prejudiced against something, that's exactly what you should explore. Burning Man sounds awful to me; therefore, I should probably go. Steer into your biases to overcome them and gain new perspectives. Explorers Make Terrible Leaders – Explorers try everything and change direction constantly, which frustrates teams. Leaders go in a straight line to a clear destination, unwavering in mission even if the path changes. I loved changing my mind, which made me a bad leader until I learned the difference. Set projects with clear missions, even if you're personally exploring other things. Try Everything Until the World Says Yes – I had a booking agency, a record label, a recording studio, and my own music - all failures. Then, a side project to help friends (CD Baby) took off. You can't predict what the world wants from you, so try many things and listen closely to what it's telling you. Reflection  What "standard pace" are you accepting in your business or career that you could actually accelerate if you questioned it? Where have you assumed something has to take a certain amount of time just because that's how it's always been done? Are you spending time on work that's valuable to you but not to others? How could you test whether what you're creating actually solves problems people are willing to pay for? Are you acting more like an explorer or a leader right now? If you're constantly changing direction, how could you set clearer missions for your projects while keeping your personal explorations separate?
