The world wants Christmas without Christ.Noise without silence.Consumption without conversion.In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James is joined by Fr. Dom for a direct, unapologetic conversation on Advent, Christmas, and why Catholic men must reclaim the liturgical calendar from a culture that hijacks it every year.Advent was never meant to be sentimental. It was penitential. It demanded prayer, fasting, discipline, and preparation. Historically, it was forty days for a reason. In this episode, Fr. Dominic breaks down what Advent actually is, why it was shortened, and how consumerism has stripped Catholic men of spiritual readiness.The discussion moves straight to the battlefield. The manger is not a decoration. It is a sermon. The wood of the trough points to the wood of the Cross. The swaddling clothes point to the tomb. The shepherds reveal the power of simple faith. Christmas is not comfort. It is confrontation.St. Joseph is held up as the model Catholic man. Silent. Obedient. Strong. Disciplined. A guardian who moves when God commands and protects his family without hesitation. This episode makes it clear: families collapse when men abdicate leadership, and cultures rot when fathers refuse to lead.This is not nostalgia. This is formation.Men are challenged to reject the secular calendar, slow down, embrace prayer and fasting, and intentionally lead their homes through Advent and Christmas the way the Church intended. Satan thrives on distraction, disorder, and passivity. The antidote is disciplined, obedient, sacrificial masculinity.If you are tired of shallow faith, distracted homes, and soft leadership, this episode is your call to act.Challenge Issued in the EpisodeReclaim Advent. Strip your life down. Reject consumerism. Commit to prayer, fasting, and discipline. Lead your household intentionally through the liturgical calendar, not the secular one.Products, Sponsors, and References MentionedMystic Monk CoffeeHarmel Academy of the TradesSt. Joseph as the model of masculine leadershipSt. Francis of Assisi and the first NativityThe Advent wreath and the liturgical calendarEarly Church teaching on Advent and Christmas3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode“Christmas doesn't start until Christmas Day. If you miss Advent, you miss the grace God wants to give you once a year.”“Satan does not want you to remember who you are, where you come from, or the traditions that keep families strong.”“If men lived disciplined virtue like St. Joseph, the culture would collapse overnight and rebuild itself rightly.”1 Immediate Takeaway for MenCreate order through discipline. Choose one concrete act of Advent penance or fasting and lead your home in it without negotiation. Masculine leadership begins with obedience to God.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is Judges 19:4-9. "And his father-in-law, the girl's father, made him stay, and he remained with him three days. So they ate and drank and spent the night there. And on the fourth day they arose early in the morning, and he prepared to go, but the girl's father said to his son-in-law, 'Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and after that you may go.' So the two of them sat and ate and drank together. And the girl's father said to the man, 'Be pleased to spend the night, and let your heart be merry.'" — Judges 19:4-9 This scene feels harmless—two men eating, drinking, laughing, and delaying their journey. But beneath the surface, the nation reveals itself to be completely desensitized to holiness. The Levite and his father-in-law are Israelites, descendants of Abraham, men who should know the covenant and honor the Lord. Yet there's no mention of prayer, no reflection on repentance, no concern for God's will. Only indulgence. Self-gratification. Endless feasting and comfort. They look like men at peace—but it's not. It's the peace of distraction, not devotion. The peace of full bellies and empty hearts. And notice where they are—Bethlehem, "the house of bread." A place that should symbolize God's provision has become a house of pleasure. These are supposed to be God's people, yet you can't tell them apart from the world around them. Today, the same confusion fills our culture. Christians binge what the world watches, laugh at what the world listens to, and chase the same comforts and conveniences. The line between the sacred and the secular has blurred so much that many can't tell the difference. But Jesus never called us to blend in—He called us to stand out. To live holy. To look different. To love differently. To lead homes that don't reflect the world, but reflect Christ. Bethlehem may have been filled with Israelites, but their hearts were filled with idolatrous activities. And if we're not careful, our homes can become just as spiritually hollow. Stop living like the culture and expecting God's continued approval. Your Godliness begins with you at home. If you want the world to see the difference, they need to see it first in you. ASK THIS: Where has comfort made you spiritually lazy? Can others tell by your life that you belong to Christ? How does your home reflect holiness—or worldly habits? What's one way you can lead your family to live differently this week? DO THIS: Lead your family in one act of obedience—read Scripture together, serve a neighbor, or repent together in prayer. Ask God to make your home a holy contrast to the culture. PRAY THIS: Lord, open my eyes to the ways I've looked like the world. Strip away my comfort and awaken my conviction. Make my home distinct, my faith courageous, and my heart devoted fully to You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Set Apart."

DIALOGUES: Short Cuts to First Features" is a Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Industry program featuring conversations with emerging directors who transitioned from making acclaimed short films (Short Cuts alumni) to directing their debut features, sharing insights on script development, collaboration, and overcoming challenges to build their filmmaking careers.

The Bigger Picture Also -On this week's Not All Hood Weekly Drop, Candace Kelley sits down with Dr. Dabenga (American University), author of Lies About Black People, to unpack rising fears around dual citizenship, naturalization, and denaturalization. They discuss claims circulating about policies that could pressure dual citizens to “choose” a nationality, and what that would mean for millions of Black and Brown people, especially families with older relatives and inconsistent historical records. Dr. Dabenga argues this moment fits a broader pattern of escalating enforcement—moving from border messaging to interior targeting—raising concerns about ICE encounters, documentation demands, and “lawless” enforcement behavior. Candace and Dr. Dabenga also break down practical protection steps: don't go anywhere with unidentified agents, ask bystanders to record everything, understand what kinds of warrants are required, and build a family plan for emergencies. They also broaden the conversation to diaspora identity—why people pursue dual citizenship for safety, opportunity, and connection—and how media narratives can shape misunderstandings between African Americans and Africans. This is an urgent, real-world conversation about immigration enforcement, civil rights, due process, and community preparedness—with history, context, and tools you can actually use. Across Netflix, iHeartRadio, Warner Bros., and Paramount, the signal is clear: Media is consolidating quietly, not loudly. Partnerships are the new acquisitions, and acquisitions are increasingly about IP, audience, and infrastructure—not prestige. This week reinforces that the next wave of media power won't come from who makes the most content—but from who controls distribution, data, and direct audience relationships. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not All Hood (NAH) podcast takes a look at the lived experiences and identities of Black people in America. Infused with pop culture, music, and headlining news, the show addresses the evolution, exhilaration, and triumphs of being rooted in a myriad of versions of Black America.

France’s ambassador to Israel Frédéric Journès said on the Haaretz Podcast that any postwar Gaza plan must acknowledge that completely disarming and ridding the Strip of Hamas militia members is not an achievable goal. “You're not going to eliminate all of those people, so you basically need to find them a job in local police, find them a little job in society and de-radicalize them to the greatest extent possible,” he contended. This is possible, he said, because over the course of the war, Israel “got rid of the leadership." Journès, who has been France’s envoy to Israel since July 2023, sat down for a wide-ranging interview with host Allison Kaplan Sommer and Haaretz diplomatic correspondent Liza Rozovsky, discussing Gaza, Lebanon, Iran and antisemitism in France. The ambassador also explains why he believes the four countries strengthened by the past two years of war are Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt. Pressed on the podcast as to whether he supports renewing strikes on Iran aimed at its ballistic missile program, which Israel reportedly desires, Journès replied, “I'm not saying that. I will see what will happen.” Read more: Opinion by Frédéric Journès | Declaring a Palestinian State Is a Blow to Terror Opinion by Frédéric Journès | Israel, Help Us Protect Our Seas and Oceans U.S. Leaning Toward Setting Up Palestinian-run Regime for Gaza Before International Forces Saudi, French and U.S. Officials Discuss Hezbollah Disarmament With Lebanese Army Chief France Demands Heightened Security Measures at French Consulate in Jerusalem After Israeli MKs Harass StafferSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. And Merry Christmas to you all. Our text today is Judges 18:11-20. So 600 men of the tribe of Dan, armed with weapons of war, set out from Zorah and Eshtaol, and went up and encamped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. On this account that place is called Mahaneh-dan to this day; behold, it is west of Kiriath-jearim. And they passed on from there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah. Then the five men who had gone to scout out the country of Laish said to their brothers, "Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, household gods, a carved image, and a metal image? Now therefore consider what you will do." And they turned aside there and came to the house of the young Levite, at the home of Micah, and asked him about his welfare. Now the 600 men of the Danites, armed with their weapons of war, stood by the entrance of the gate. And the five men who had gone to scout out the land went up and entered and took the carved image, the ephod, the household gods, and the metal image, while the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the 600 men armed with weapons of war. And when these went into Micah's house and took the carved image, the ephod, the household gods, and the metal image, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?" And they said to him, "Keep quiet; put your hand on your mouth and come with us and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and clan in Israel?" And the priest's heart was glad. He took the ephod and the household gods and the carved image and went along with the people. — Judges 18:11-20 The Danites raid Micah's house—not for gold, not for land, but for religion. They take his idols, his ephod, and even his priest. They want everything that looks spiritual—but none of what demands surrender. This is the heart of false faith. It wants the blessing of belief without the burden of obedience. They want a god they can move, not one who moves them. They want a priest who blesses, not one who confronts. They want the look of religion without the Lord of righteousness. It's the same impulse alive today. We still crave the symbols of faith without submitting to it. We want a baby christened—but not a child discipled. We want a church wedding—but not a marriage that honors God. We want a pastor to conduct our funeral—but not a life spent following Christ. We want faith that makes us feel covered—but never changed. This is why false religion is so attractive: it offers comfort without conviction, community without accountability, and symbols without sanctification. It gives you everything except transformation. The Danites carried off the priest and the idols, thinking they'd secured God's favor. But they weren't following God—they were franchising a fake religion. Don't turn faith in God into a performance of externals. Don't settle for "religious moments" in place of regular obedience. God doesn't want your religious props and symbols; he wants all of you. He is here not to tag along but to transform you. ASK THIS: Where have you settled for symbols instead of surrender? Do you display faith publicly but resist obedience privately? What modern "idols" have you borrowed to make faith feel easier? How can you move from religious performance to real pursuit of God this week? DO THIS: Ask God to expose any area where you've kept religion but lost relationship. Read 2 Timothy 3:5: "Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power." Replace outward habits with inward devotion—prayer, confession, and obedience. Live today as if God's presence, not your performance, is what defines your faith. PRAY THIS: Lord, save me from the trap of empty religion. I don't want symbols of faith; I want surrender. Strip away anything that looks spiritual but keeps me from true obedience to You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Christ Be Magnified."

On this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Farm Equipment, Jared Fender, senior research specialist at the Univ. of Illinois Crop Physiology Lab, shares new insights from the first full year of a massive strip-till trial.

In this episode of SoundPractice, Matthew Mazurek, MD, assistant professor of anesthesiology at Yale School of Medicine discusses his new book, Sexual Misconduct, Harassment, and Discrimination in Healthcare by the AAPL. Mazurek reveals sexual misconduct in healthcare occurs on multiple levels: - Confidential surveys show the problem remains significantly underreported. - Social media has created new avenues for inappropriate behavior, particularly among younger staff members. - Healthcare workers face harassment from patients more frequently than in other STEM fields due to physical touching and power dynamics. For healthcare leaders conducting investigations, Mazurek recommends: - Use two-person interview teams to avoid "he said, she said" situations while preventing respondents from feeling ganged up on. - Strip away who is telling the story and focus objectively on what happened. - Involve risk management early in high-stakes cases. - Maintain consistency in questioning and look for corroboration. Reality check: Lack of standardization across 50 state medical boards contributes to delays in addressing misconduct, with some physicians maintaining long histories of violations before consequences. Mazurek emphasizes prevention over investigation expertise: - Leadership must model appropriate behavior — executives engaging in misconduct set a tone of tolerance. - Training programs should use case studies in small groups to help staff feel the emotional impact, not just understand it intellectually. - Address microaggressions through comprehensive education on bias and stereotypes. - Create policies expressly covering social media interactions with colleagues as part of the work environment. The bottom line: Healthcare organizations must balance their duty to provide safe environments for staff with their obligation to care for patients, even when patient behavior crosses lines.

Kick off your week praying over your business with my entrepreneur's prayer:     Want a copy of the prayer? Grab it below:  Father, in the name of Jesus, I want to thank you for entrusting me with this business, with this assignment, with this stewardship, and this opportunity to reveal your kingdom on the earth through the work of my hands. Today, Lord, I bring it all before you, my dreams, my deadlines, my numbers, my people, my pressure that I'm under.  I choose to surrender it again, because I know this isn't just my business. I know it's our business together. And I know ultimately it is your business, Jesus. So Lord align my heart with your vision. Remind me why you called me to this work in the first place. Strip away the noise, the striving and the comparison. and let my motives be purified by your presence. Where I've been running in circles, Holy Spirit, bring me clarity. Where I've been carrying too much, Holy Spirit, bring me interest. Where I've been afraid to trust you, Holy Spirit, bring me courage. Where I've been blind to opportunity, open my eyes to see how you are already moving.  Father, I ask for wisdom, supernatural wisdom to build what lasts, to build something eternal. Let my strategies be guided by heaven, not pressure and not the ways of the world. Show me which doors to close and which ones to walk through boldly. Jesus, give me discernment to recognize your divine timing and your divine partnerships that you have for me. Father, bless the work of my hands and the people connected to this work. Let this business create value. Let it bring dignity to others. Let it bring peace for every person that it touches. Let generosity and integrity be the atmosphere of everything we do in this business, God.  When I'm tempted to measure success by numbers alone, remind me, Lord, that fruitfulness is about obedience. Remind me that provision flows through purpose. And remind me that I'm not striving for your favor, I'm building from it. Jesus, expand my capacity to carry what you're entrusting to me. Help me to lead with love, manage with grace, and dream with bold faith. Teach me to rest even while I'm growing, to trust even when it's tight, and to see every obstacle as an invitation to partner with you deeper. Holy Spirit, fill this business with your presence. Let peace mark my decisions, let excellence mark my execution, and let joy mark this journey. May everything I build point back to you, Lord. May every win become worship, and may my work on earth echo in eternity.  In Jesus' name, amen. 

This week on “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Ira sits down with Ron Futrell, 8NewsNow sports anchor and reporter, for a wide-ranging, no-spin conversation about one of the biggest years in Las Vegas sports history. From Major League Baseball officially coming to Las Vegas, Ron breaks down why locals were skeptical, what went wrong in Oakland under owner John Fisher, and why Vegas operates with a very different mindset: “Let's make things happen.” They dive into the Formula 1 race, the Raiders' on-field struggles, UFC turning Allegiant Stadium into a boxing venue, and how the new baseball stadium could double as a game-changer for concerts that don't quite fit Allegiant's scale. Ron also tackles a topic locals feel deeply — Strip fees that drive residents away, and why places like South Point continue to thrive with free parking and reasonable prices. The conversation widens to the big picture: Are we getting too corporate in sports? Will Las Vegas host another Super Bowl? Is an NBA team inevitable? Ron also highlights sports figures who made a real impact this year, including A'ja Wil-son, and reflects on gaming legend Bill Paulos' lasting contributions to UNLV. Plus, he shares details on his new weekly show with George Knapp, “Mystery Wire,” now streaming via the 8 News Now app. If you want to understand where Las Vegas sports have been — and where they're headed next — this episode is a must-listen.

Today at our Pittsburgh UFO Meeting we pay homage to our fallen friend, the legendary Fred SalugaFred Saluga Bio -Fred Saluga has been investigating Bigfoot, UFOs, and other paranormal phenomena for over 50 years. He is a licensed private investigator in the States of West Virginia, Florida, and Pennsylvania and a retired law enforcement officer and Chief of Police in Fayette County, PA. He currently serves as the State Director for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) in WV and the Assistant State Director of MUFON in PA. Fred has investigated over 500 UFO cases and established MUFON's Humanoid Research Group, which oversees the investigation of humanoid beings reported as UFO occupants.He was the co-host of a Comcast Presentation that lasted for three years and produced television shows called “UFOs Over Pittsburgh” and now a podcast called “String Theory (40 movies) on YouTube.He is also served as the Director of the West Virginia Center for Unexplained Events, an organization dedicated to investigating sightings of Bigfoot, cryptids, ghosts, and other anomalous entities. He is the Director of the Fayette County, PA Bigfoot Research Project, headquartered in Uniontown, PA.Note from Mufon Director on Fred:MUFON West Virginia State Dir. and PA ASD Fred Saluga passed away. Fred joined MUFON in Florida in 1996 and worked with Joe Jordan. In 2007, I noticed Fred's name on our member list with a Florida address. I quickly recruited him into PA MUFON. When the 2008 Bucks County UFO Wave hit, our cases tripled. With the broadcast of Discovery Channels UFOs over Earth, our membership and investigators also tripled. With managing 7 states, Fred and Bill Weber were integral in helping me run PA-WV-DEL MUFON. I promoted Fred to WV SD and Bill to DEL SD, but we always worked as a team conducting training classes and 42 conferences in Erie, Pittsburgh, and Philly from 2008-2024. Fred was the people's skills, and I was the manager's skills. Fred and I did a monthly show on public TV called UFOs over Pittsburgh. After 44 episodes, we moved the show to my house under the name of String Theory of the Unexplained. In total, we did almost 100 episodes and they are available on YouTube. We made PA MUFON great!Fred was a character. He would refer to his hometown as Fayettenam so I would introduce Fred as the James Bond of Fayettenam. His passion for Bigfoot far exceeded his passion for UFOs. We lobbied MUFON to investigate the Bigfoot-UFO connection. Fred would conduct free UFO-Bigfoot conferences in extended rural locations to get the word out. Fred taught a UFO class at a local college which I have picked up as instructor. Fred, Bill, John Dousette, and I went to many Symposiums together. The most fun was in Vegas, of course, when we stayed on the Strip at my timeshare. Fred was a good friend and will be missed by many, especially me. I will miss our long drives around the state and our talks on conservative politics, UFOs, and cryptids. . . .From his daughter Leah prior to his passing, “My father is truly one of a kind. At 76, he's lived a life defined by selflessness, honesty, and a deep commitment to helping others. Even now, after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, he continues to inspire everyone around him with his strength and wit. He's been a Police Chief, CYF investigator, outpatient drug and alcohol counselor, Bigfoot and paranormal investigator. His curiosity and compassion have touched countless lives; he's always been there for people-no matter who they are or what they are going through. Throughout his life, my father has made a huge difference in this world and in so many people's lives. His impact goes far beyond our family-he's been a friend, mentor, and source of hope for so many. This diagnosis has forced him to stop working and relocate to Pittsburgh for treatment, far from his home in West Virginia. Now the time has come that his body is not responding to the treatments, one treatment affects another in not so good ways. So what it is now is the end of the road for my Poppa. He's going to be crossing the rainbow bridge anytime now. Comfort measures only at this time. I do want to also say how very strong and courageous he is through all of this up until he just fell asleep, we were still talking, and laughing, and still handling business. I want to complete his end of life wishes. I want to celebrate his life, to remember all the memories with him. Those cherished moments I'll hold in my heart forever each one unwrapping a smile. I know that he was loved by many and that's because he loved so many. Thanks in advance”. Leah SalugaTypical Skeptic Podcast Links and Affiliates:Support the Mission:

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The Israel Defense Forces said Friday it was investigating a strike in Gaza City which reportedly killed at least five people, including civilians. According to the military, during operations on the Israeli side of the ceasefire line in the Strip’s north, troops spotted several suspects in “dominant structures” on the western side of the Yellow Line — meaning not in IDF-held territory. Fabian discusses the idea of "dominant structures" and reports on the uptick of Gazans attempting to cross the Yellow Line into Israeli-controlled Gaza. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said yesterday that his country is close to completing the disarmament of Hezbollah south of the Litani River. This comes after Israel struck Hezbollah targets across Lebanon on Thursday morning, hitting weapons stores deep inside the country and a training camp used by the terror group. So which is it? Fabian weighs in. The Israel Defense Forces captured a suspected Islamic State jihadist in an overnight raid earlier this week in southern Syria, the military said in a Saturday statement. We learn how active ISIS is in southern Syria. Finally, an Israeli woman who reported having been kidnapped on Friday was extracted by the Palestinian Authority’s security forces from the West Bank city of Jericho, the military said. We hear about the oft-overlooked close coordination between Israeli and PA forces.Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Halftime Hope, Second-Half Slide The Detroit Lions lost control of Week 15 and lost the game, 41-34 to the Rams. They led at halftime. They looked ready for a shootout. Then the offense stalled, the defense bent, and the window shut. Two punts in the third quarter, another to open the fourth, and the game was effectively gone. It felt winnable. It also felt like a hard reality check about where this team stands in the NFL. The Detroit Lions Podcast framed it simply. The Rams were better across the board. That is not fatalism. It is the tape. The Rams' offense moved with rhythm. Their line created space. Their run game dictated terms. Detroit had no sustained answer after the break. At 8-6, the Lions remain talented and dangerous, but hot-and-cold. The inconsistency showed up again when the margin tightened. Where the Match-ups Tilted Los Angeles hit Detroit with heavy football and smart formation choices. The Rams leaned into 13 personnel and forced the Lions out of their comfort plan. Detroit's counter is often to go heavy with an extra linebacker and win with size. The Rams removed that edge. Puka Nacua sat at times, and the tradeoff still favored the visitors because the fronts and fits worked. The Lions saw fewer light boxes and more bodies clogging space. On the other side, the Rams' defensive line was ferocious. Their linebackers flowed clean. Their safeties tackled in space. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery were hemmed in, snap after snap. Detroit needed explosives to keep pace, and they tried. After a three-and-out to start the third quarter, Jared Goff took the shot everyone has been asking for, a vertical to Jameson Williams. The ball nearly hit. The process was right. The result set up another bad down-and-distance, another punt, and more clock for Matthew Stafford to grind down the defense. Flags, Contact, and Thin Margins The frustration bubbled because contact shaped those swing plays. Goff took a helmet-to-helmet shot on the deep ball. Williams was tripped as he stretched for it and later took contact in the back of the end zone. No flags. Around the league, it often cuts the other way for quarterbacks and vertical routes. On this day, it did not. That is not a conspiracy. It is a reminder that Detroit's margin shrinks when officiating gray areas go against them and the opponent keeps stacking efficient snaps. Strip away the noise and the picture is clear. The Rams executed at a higher level and dictated personnel. Detroit's offense blinked at the wrong time. The defense could not tilt the field. The Lions still have the traits to beat good teams, but Week 15 underscored the gap between “can” and “do.” If they want a different ending, the next three weeks must be cleaner, faster, and more forceful at the line of scrimmage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjWN45pnJv0 #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #week15loss #41-34 #ramsheavyfootball #13personnel #extralinebacker #lightboxes #linecreatedspace #rungamedictatedterms #thirdquarterpunts #jaredgoffdeepball Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I sit down with David Daniel for a deep dive on messaging, customer clarity, and why most entrepreneurs try to skip steps they've never earned. David breaks down how to define your ideal client, simplify your strategy, avoid shiny-object marketing traps, and build offers that actually match where you are in your business journey. We get into customer feedback, real -world strategy, and the mindset shifts that separate founders who spin their wheels from the ones who scale with intention.Key Highlights:- You're not supposed to be at someone else's level.Entrepreneurs mimic strategies from year-eight operators while they're still in month three.- Clear messaging starts with the customer.Understand their goals, fears, language, and lived experience.- Your “why” matters.People trust you when they know why you care and why you're good at solving the problem.- Experience your business from the customer side.Most owners never do — and it shows.- Stop chasing shiny strategies.SEO, ads, funnels… most of it isn't the lever you actually need.- Choose the right lever for your business model.Some industries need SEO. Others just need 10 strong relationships.- Simplify before you scale.Strip waste, find clarity, stop pivoting every two weeks, and give your strategy time to work.- One outside perspective can unlock everything.Small shifts often create massive breakthroughs.If you enjoyed this conversation with David, share it with a business owner who's stuck in the weeds and needs a clearer path forward.

The Suicide Mission Briefing — James M. Scott — Scott recounts the psychological tension characterizing LeMay'sbriefing of aircrew personnel for the March 9th firebombing raid, wherein LeMay orders crews to systematically strip defensive armaments from B-29 bombers to maximize incendiary weapon payload capacity, thereby eliminating defensive capabilities against anticipated Japanese fighter aircraft and anti-aircraft fire. Scott documents that aircrew members view this operational decision as tantamount to a "suicide mission," with legitimate anticipatory fear regarding being shot down without defensive weapons, accompanied by military predictions estimating potential casualty rates exceeding 70% of participating aircraft. Scott details that the operational plan involves 325 bombers executing precisely coordinated incendiary drops designed to create overlapping "density of fire" patterns that will eventually merge into a self-sustaining firestorm phenomenon. Scott specifies that LeMay targets a 12-square-mile geographic area of Tokyo containing population density exceeding 100,000 residents per square mile, thereby concentrating firebombing destruction against maximum civilian population concentration. 1930 TOKYO

Hans and Brian challenge the conventional wisdom around qualified retirement plans and expose the misaligned incentives baked into the 401(k) system.Most people defend their 401(k)s and IRAs with passion—but they're carrying water for institutions whose goals directly conflict with their own. This episode breaks down the four things financial institutions want from your money, reveals the history of how employers shifted pension risk onto employees, and asks the critical question: whose incentives are you serving?The conventional model says lock your money away for 40 years, fund your own retirement, bear all the market risk, and hope you have enough at 65. The qualified plan gives you a 13-year window of control—you can't touch it penalty-free until 59.5, and RMDs force withdrawals starting at 73. That means if you live to 76, you only controlled your money 25% of your life. Meanwhile, the average person retiring today has $537,000 saved but needs $1.5 million. The system is failing, yet people aggressively defend it.Chapters:00:00 - Opening segment 03:40 - Revisiting fundamentals 04:25 - What do financial institutions want from you? 05:25 - The four goals: get your money, hold it systematically, keep it long, give back little 06:40 - We just described a qualified plan 07:50 - The 13-year window: locked until 59.5, forced RMDs at 73 08:45 - Tax benefits: the one real advantage of a Roth 10:00 - Why we're assuming Roth for this discussion 11:30 - The gray area in Roth tax code and the $42 trillion sitting in qualified plans 12:35 - Only controlling your money 25% of your life 13:20 - Teaching kids to be good stewards vs. locking their money away 14:30 - RMD penalties: 25% minimum, up to 50% in some scenarios 16:00 - TSP RMD mechanics: you can't choose which funds to liquidate 17:00 - Taking the employer match and using whole life as a volatility buffer 18:20 - Spending down qualified plans first, not leaving them to heirs 18:50 - The pension system: employers provided capital and bore market risk 21:20 - The shift: now employees fund their own retirement and bear all risk 23:10 - Stockholm Syndrome: aggressively defending the institutions that benefit 24:00 - Median household income $84K, needs $1.5M, average savings $537K 27:40 - Why the average is skewed by millionaires (statistical reality check) 29:25 - Comparing contractual guarantees to projections and prospectuses 31:00 - Strip away the labels: whole life is just an asset, just like mutual funds 32:20 - We want you to understand WHY you believe what you believe 33:35 - The rate of return objection and Nelson's tailwind example 36:15 - Whose incentives align with yours?

On this special episode of On the Corner of Main Street, Plaza CEO Jonathan Jossel and hotel director Gary Vickery return after a brief break with heavy hearts to remember their friend and executive casino host, Aquarius "Q" Wilkinson. They open the show in a quieter, somber mood, sharing the news of Q's passing and reflecting on the shock that has rippled through the Plaza, downtown Las Vegas, and Q's extended family of guests. What was planned as a normal episode instead becomes a toast to a man who embodied hospitality and made everyone around him feel like a VIP. Before the replay begins, Jonathan and Gary talk about the last week at the Plaza and the overwhelming response from Q's players and friends around the country. They share messages from guests who still came in for planned trips, how the team rallied to make sure those visits stayed special, and why Q's presence is still felt on the casino floor. They also explain how listeners can support his family through the GoFundMe that Rachel, his wife, set up and mention future plans for a celebration of life at the Plaza in Q's honor. The episode then rolls back to April 2021, when Q first sat down with the podcast to tell his story. Listeners hear how a nineteen year old kid working in an arcade at The Lady Luck in Bettendorf, Iowa, fell in love with taking care of people and followed that feeling into security and then surveillance in St. Louis. Q explains what it was like watching the casino from a dark room, writing up errors, and realizing that he wanted to be on the floor with the energy, not behind the cameras. That decision would send him to Detroit in 1999, dealing dice at the first MGM Casino there while the action was nonstop and the line to get in wrapped around the building. From there, Q walks through his move to Las Vegas and the dream of making it on the Strip. He talks about dealing at the Suncoast, then spending six years at the Palms during its peak, with ten dollar games replaced by green and black chip action and celebrities like Ben Affleck, Jerry Rice, and Missy Elliott learning craps at his table. Eventually, Q shares why he chose to return to the Midwest, become a host, then come back to Vegas and join the Plaza just before the pandemic. He explains what "being a host" really means to him: calling guests from his "laboratory," building trust, surprising them with experiences like helicopter rides and cornhole tournaments, and making a working class player feel as special as any high roller on the Strip. The conversation also captures Q's first impressions of the Plaza and how his view of downtown shifted once he was inside the building. He talks about the family feeling under the dome, the culture Jonathan and the leadership team built, and why he preferred the closeness and honesty of Plaza guests over the flash of larger resorts. Q reflects on working through the shutdown, training in the gym during COVID, watching downtown recover, and dreaming about how to use the Plaza's unique spaces for concerts and events. Throughout, his voice is full of optimism, gratitude, and a competitive desire to outwork and out-care every other host in town. This episode is both a time capsule and a tribute. If you knew Q, it is a chance to hear his laugh, his stories, and his philosophy on hospitality one more time. If you never met him, it is a chance to understand why so many people called him their host, their friend, and their reason for coming back to the Plaza. The team shares details on how to support his family through the GoFundMe linked with the episode and invites listeners to raise a glass, share their memories, and help keep Q's spirit alive on the corner of Main Street. https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-q-helping-his-family 00:00 Introduction and Somber Mood 00:46 Remembering Aquarius Q Wilkinson 01:17 Tributes and Memories 03:46 Celebration of Life and GoFundMe 04:31 Interview with Aquarius Q Wilkinson 05:19 Q's Early Career in the Casino Industry 07:31 Transition to Surveillance and Dealing 08:22 Moving to Detroit and Becoming a Dealer 12:48 Journey to Las Vegas 14:37 Life at the Palms Casino 17:09 Switch to Casino Host and Personal Reflections 18:25 What Does a Casino Host Do? 18:54 Building Relationships with Clients 20:24 Returning to Vegas 21:05 First Impressions of the Plaza 23:53 Creating Memorable Experiences 34:50 Adapting During the Pandemic 37:42 Future Plans for the Plaza 39:17 Conclusion and Contact Information

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 8, 2025. 0:30 We get into a constitutional showdown that cuts right to the bone of American power — not just trade policy, but the question of who actually runs the country. With President Trump urging the Supreme Court to uphold his emergency tariff authority, we break down why this case isn’t some dry legal dispute, but a hinge moment for the entire republic. If the justices strip the president of the ability to hit hostile nations with swift economic pressure, America walks into the world stage handcuffed — with military force as its only leverage. But if the Court sides with the president, it reaffirms the very core of national sovereignty. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Department of Homeland Security announced they have found 62,000 immigrant children who had gone missing during the Biden Administration. Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is running for Senate in Texas. Paramount is trying to take over Netflix's takeover of Warner Brothers. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We dive into the latest ideological curveball out of New York City, where the incoming socialist mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, is suddenly promising sweeping, pro–small business reforms — at least on paper. Cutting taxes, slashing fees and fines by 50%, speeding up permits, even creating a “mom-and-pop czar” to bulldoze red tape. Sounds great, right? Maybe a little too great. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that hits right at the heart of the season: what’s the best way to give at Christmastime? And their answers go way beyond the glossy charity commercials and big-name nonprofits. From real-time giving where you see a need and fill it on the spot, to the quiet, behind-the-scenes acts of service that make a community run, the Mamas lay out the kinds of generosity that really matter — the kind that isn’t swallowed up by million-dollar CEO salaries or bloated overhead. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 This story takes us to Ireland, where one priest is saying the quiet part out loud — and saying it every single Sunday. Father Brendan Kilcoin, an Irish Catholic priest, isn’t tiptoeing, isn’t hedging, isn’t hiding behind vague language. He’s warning his country that Ireland isn’t simply drifting from Christianity… it’s being pulled apart from both ends. On one side, aggressive secularism. On the other, mass immigration from cultures shaped not by the Gospels, but by entirely different religious traditions. And Father Kilcoin isn’t offering the kind of soft, non-committal commentary you usually hear from clergy. He’s calling for something bolder — legal immigration, yes, but explicitly Christian immigration. Not to shock, not to provoke, but because he believes Ireland is losing the very foundation that once held its culture together. 26:00 We Dig Deep into a new Harvard–HarrisX poll — yes, that Harvard–HarrisX, the one that’s been off by five, sometimes ten points to the left for three straight election cycles — and even they can’t hide what voters are saying. Strip the Trump name off the policies, and suddenly Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of every major plank the president is pushing. Border security, deporting illegal immigrants — even all illegal immigrants — tariffs, military action against cartels, banning men from women’s sports, ending racial preferences, freezing foreign aid, the whole thing. Policy after policy, Americans are on board. And yet? The same voters give Trump middling approval numbers. We break down how the media machine, the “no-kings” narrative, and years of Trump-is-Hitler hysteria have created a bizarre split-brain politics where people love the ideas but think they’re supposed to hate the guy proposing them. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down a story most media outlets won’t touch: the growing pressure campaign against crisis pregnancy centers — the very places research shows could have changed everything for the 60% of women who say they would’ve chosen life if they’d had just a little more support. Instead of helping these centers do exactly that, states like New Jersey are trying to force them to hand over their donor lists, despite admitting they had zero complaints, zero evidence of wrongdoing, and were basically on a political fishing expedition. 35:30 In a rare moment of Hollywood clarity, Jennifer Lawrence just told The New York Times something you almost never hear from an A-list celebrity: she’s stepping back from politics — not because she’s changed her mind, but because she finally realizes her opinions don’t change elections… they just pour gasoline on a country already split down the middle. We dive into the audio, break down Lawrence’s surprisingly grounded admission, and spotlight her warning that celebrity activism can actually damage careers, alienate half an audience, and even contribute to political hostility.

Nomad rebrands, Phish returns, one floor can't contain fast food on the Strip, bingo is back and so much more Vegasy fun The post FHBM #987: Fast Food Bonanza first appeared on Five Hundy By Midnight.

Two Thursday games rattled the calendar and the Detroit Lions. The week felt sideways. The noise got loud. The product wobbled. Strip away the spin. What we learned matters more than what we hoped. Headlines You Cannot Trust The injury chatter swung like a gate in the wind. Ragnow went from absent to savior to ghost in a blink. Kirby Joseph told people his knee was cooked, then showed up at practice in a big brace. That is whiplash. This team is usually clear with its injury tone. Not this week. The lesson is simple. Do not let a headline set your expectations. Watch who lines up. Listen to how they move. The Detroit Lions need stability in December, not rumor traffic. The churn even spilled into odd notes about Lamb Barney. It all fed a theme. Confusion. Mixed messages. A week when Allen Park felt less buttoned up than normal. In the NFL, clarity is competitive advantage. The Lions did not have it. Fundamentals Are Bleeding the Defense This defense has to get back to basics. Communication in zone is off. Handoffs in the secondary are late. Aidan Hutchinson is sprinting upfield and running out of plays. Too many snaps look like hero ball. Too few look like assignment football. That gap shows up in explosives and third downs that should die but do not. The fix is not complicated. Line up right. Fit gaps. Tackle. Trust leverage. Make the play that is there. Coaches have called it out. Players have echoed it. The standard slipped the past couple of weeks. It must snap back now. Interior Offensive Line Is Priority One Nothing on offense works if the middle caves. Jared Goff is getting heated up. The run game is choppy despite talent in the backfield. Interior pressure ruins timing and rhythm. Games, blitzes, and straight-ahead power are splitting the A and B gaps. That is the story. Anyone not named Penay Sewell has room to grow. That is the blunt truth. The offseason answer is clear. Fix the interior. But the Detroit Lions cannot wait for March. For the next five weeks, protect the pocket interior first. Get the ball out. Stay out of long yardage. That keeps the play sheet open and the hits down. Five Weeks to Reclaim Their Edge This team is not as good as we thought. Not right now. Staff changes hit. Injuries took a toll. Execution dipped below last year's crisp level. Coaching has to be better Monday through Friday and again on Sunday. That includes clock work, preparation, and corrections. The doomers get their day after a week like this. Fair. The enemies list is short though. It is the details. The Detroit Lions can still write a December worth keeping. Start with discipline on defense. Clean up the interior on offense. Cut the noise. Play to the plan. The Detroit Lions Podcast framed the week around those truths. The path forward is narrow, not closed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ANEFDHr-5w #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #aidanhutchinson #frankragnow #jackcampbell #kirbyjoseph #jaredgoff #penaysewell #interioroffensiveline #interiorpressure #aandbgaps #zonecommunication Learn more about your ad choices.
