Big Rich, TD and Fletch dive into the mystery of the oldest item in your fridge—and things get out of hand fast when a listener calls in with something that's allegedly 150 years old. Then the crew is stunned to discover TD secretly appeared in an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Questionable leftovers, unexpected fame, and full-blown chaos. Let's go.

On today's show, TD analyzes the performance of the Tennessee Titans players at OTAs over the last two days, giving extra focus to cornerbacks Keydrain Calligan and Marcus Harris. TD furthers the discussion about OTAs with Parker Kelley and Chris Sanders, highlighting the pros and cons of what they saw from the sessions and the importance of chemistry being developed between the wide receivers and Cam Ward over the course of the offseason.

The 2nd Annual Dad Games Cornhole Tournament is officially ON, and the guys are getting ready for another year of questionable athleticism and elite dad-level competition. Plus, TD, Fletch, and Kat take a trip down memory lane and reveal who their childhood crushes were—and let's just say some of the picks explain a lot. Then TD experiences one of the biggest disappointments of his adult life when he spots what he believes is a giant bowl of Cool Whip in Kat's lunch bag... only to learn it's actually yogurt. Turns out the only thing thicker than the yogurt was TD's confidence that dessert had arrived.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when rogue psychological warfare meets ancient esoteric mysteries? Dr. Andrija Puharich started as a brilliant, mainstream medical prodigy, but a profound fascination with extrasensory perception (ESP) dragged him straight into the deepest underbellies of the military-industrial complex.

Today on Big Rich, TD, and Fletch... Rich remains missing somewhere in the vast Texas wilderness, presumably being blown across the state by a dust storm while trying to wrangle cattle he doesn't own. Meanwhile, Kat somehow has the hottest gossip from her high school reunion... despite not actually attending the reunion. And it's Power Tool Tuesday, which means listeners shared some of the most unbelievable DIY disaster stories we've ever heard. From questionable home repairs to full-blown emergency room worthy fails, these stories prove some projects should've stayed on the Pinterest board.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn't effort, strategy, or talent, but a lack of clarity?In this energizing episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I'm joined by Isabelle Mercier-Turcotte and Margarita Romano, Co-CEOs of LeapZone Strategies and founders of Trailblazers Retreat Center. Together, they are no-nonsense business growth catalysts known for helping entrepreneurs, leaders, and teams build brands, businesses, and lives by design, not by default. With more than 25 years of hands-on experience in brand positioning, marketing, leadership, and business growth, Isabelle and Margarita have worked with over 500 companies, including A&W, Robeez Footwear, TEDx, Earls Restaurants, IMAX, TD, and HSBC. Their work helps businesses become The First, The Best, or The Only, so their value becomes unmistakable and they can be chosen with confidence, regardless of price.This conversation brings together two powerful streams of wisdom. Isabelle brings the sharp, strategic lens of brand clarity, positioning, leadership, and business architecture, while Margarita brings a deeply embodied understanding of human behavior, energy, resonance, and the wisdom of horses. At Trailblazers, their retreat center on Vancouver Island, their equine partners help leaders and teams see what's really happening beneath the surface, because horses don't respond to performance, titles, or polished words. They respond to what's real.Together, we explore why so many businesses are missing clarity and how that affects everything from leadership and culture to sales, team alignment, execution, and growth. We talk about the difference between branding, positioning, and marketing, why so many purpose-led people over-function, and how leaders can stop carrying everything themselves and begin building with more courage, structure, and intention. This is a practical, honest, and deeply human conversation for coaches, founders, changemakers, and leaders who want to build meaningful work without losing themselves in hustle, chaos, or performance.Key TakeawaysWhy clarity is one of the greatest competitive advantages in business today.The difference between branding, positioning, and marketing, and why mixing them up creates confusion.How to become The First, The Best, or The Only in a way that feels true rather than forced.How horses reveal incongruence, energy, and leadership patterns that are often hidden in boardrooms.How to build a business and life by design, not by default.Learn More About Today's GuestLeapzone Strategies website ****→ www.leapzonestrategies.comMargarita's bestselling book: How To Love Without Limits →https://leapzone.lpages.co/book/Ebook: The First.

In this episode, we cover several major stories across AI, tech, Berkshire Hathaway, housing, and Canadian banks. We start with Anthropic reportedly moving closer to a potential IPO and what that could mean for the broader AI IPO race. We also break down the latest SpaceX IPO update, including its massive expected valuation and why investors appear to be valuing the company as much more than just a rocket launch business. We then look at Alphabet’s major equity raise and what it says about the rising cost of the AI infrastructure race. From there, we discuss Berkshire Hathaway’s planned acquisition of homebuilder Taylor Morrison and why the deal is notable under Greg Abel’s leadership. Finally, we wrap up with Canadian bank earnings, where results were better than feared, dividends were raised, capital markets helped, and credit remains the key risk to watch over the next few quarters.

In one of our favourite episodes of the season, Eva Hartling speaks with Chantel Chapman, founder of the Trauma of Money Institute, to explore the deeper forces that shape our relationship with money.After starting her career in finance and working as a financial literacy educator, Chantel realized that knowledge alone doesn't always translate into healthy financial behaviour. Her work now sits at the intersection of finance, psychology, and trauma-informed practice, helping individuals and institutions better understand the emotional dynamics behind financial decision-making.In this conversation, Eva and Chantel discuss why many women struggle with confidence around money, how patterns like underearning and overgiving take root, and how women entrepreneurs can begin to build a healthier, more empowered relationship with their finances.Order Chantel's book, “The Trauma of Money: Mapping Compassionate Pathways to Healing Financial Trauma and Disempowering Financial Shame”.This conversation originally aired in March.This season of our podcast is brought to you by TD Canada Women in Enterprise.

Today on Big Rich, TD, and Fletch, the gang debates which food would be the absolute meanest if it were a human. Is it sardines, kale, or the oatmeal raisin cookie pretending to be chocolate chip? Then the company rolls out workplace violence training... which gets awkward fast when Kat appears to be the only person in the room with an actual history of workplace violence. And after suffering a crushing defeat in his simultaneous campaigns for Mayor AND Governor, Rich begins the long journey through the stages of political grief. Spoiler alert: acceptance may still be a few stages away.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Big Rich, TD, and Fletch, after several days of coughing, sneezing, and generally sharing her germs with the entire studio, Kat has finally called out sick. Was it concern for her health... or a mercy mission for the rest of the show? It's Power Tool Tuesday, which means the hunt is on for this week's Tool of the Week—and as usual, the nominations get more questionable by the minute. Plus, despite the fact that the primary election is literally happening today, Rich has officially decided to run for Mayor AND Governor at the same time. Is it legally possible? Probably not. Is it a good idea? Definitely not. Will that stop him? Not a chance. Sick days, power tools, and a political campaign nobody asked for—just another normal day with Big Rich, TD, and Fletch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RTÉ has been in the news again lately thanks to renewed controversy over payments to presenters. So it is a timely moment for the release of a new book on the institution. RTÉ: Saints, Scholars, and Scandals is the latest work by former TD, minister and journalist Shane Ross, who brings his dual experience of media and politics to bear on this unwieldy subject.He talks to Hugh about the deep roots of RTÉ's structural problems, Fianna Fáil's dominance of RTÉ throughout its history (exemplified by Gay Byrne's cozy relationship with Charles Haughey) and the damaging recent scandals over payments and governance.He tells Hugh the frustration politicians feel over negative coverage is the reason cash-strapped RTÉ has not enjoyed a licence fee increase since 2008.Ross also talks about how illness (he is recovering from throat cancer) derailed the book for a few years.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: My parent organization has trust issues: we registered on a recent survey as one of the lowest across the bigger software org (thousands of employees). There are two groups: functional, trustworthy people who get stuff done, and people who are behind, stuck, or just not working. Those struggling say they need better emotional support, but there is consistent, documented evidence that they cannot keep up. I'm perpetually frustrated that there are only two or three people in an org of 30 who can effectively complete tasks and manage the insane workload. I am biased: those in whom I have no trust have repeatedly demonstrated that they cannot be trusted. I believe that the organization would be able to go faster without them. Whats the right answer here? Should I start my own company to abandon this mess? Do we cut scope super aggressively to allow underperformers to be reasonable contributors? One example: one of these contributors was walked through the process, given written documentation of the process, verbally confirmed an understanding of the process, and committed to starting that day. And then two days later identified they hadn't started for those two days because they were blocked by something that was explicitly captured in the document and discussed in the recorded meeting. They do not raise this until they were asked for their progress multiple days beyond the critical start date. Hi Dave and Jamison, First, thank you for the podcast. As someone on the spectrum, it really helps me analyze social situations I struggle with. My question: I work at a software company where management is pushing the use of LLMs for coding, and my team recently started using Spec-Driven Development. SDD often requires strong upfront planning, which has quietly split my small team between developers who plan well and those who get lost in “vibe-coding” loops. One of those people is a close coworker I consider a friend (we hang out after work and have honest chats about everything). He's not strong at planning, so I end up explaining each ticket to him in detail. But he's really great in other ways: communicative, asks a lot of questions in refinement sessions that set a good example for others, does thorough handoffs with the QA team, always responsive in chat, always trying to help. He's also one of the rare people who actually pay attention to alerts. Since we started using SDD, the gap in our speed and output quality has become very visible. One of our tech directors noticed and asked me to teach him planning. We spent several days drawing schemas and working through small features together, and it was clearly painful for him. The TD also had his own sessions with him, but eventually gave up because my friend seemed so discouraged, and the TD decided to “stop the torture” and leave him alone. The hard part is that after all these teaching sessions, he actually seems even slower than before and also more discouraged and down. Since then, our friendship has changed. He stopped talking to me outside work, and I think he now feels jealous or bothered by the difference in our performance. I'm okay with continuing to explain tickets and outlining detailed execution plans for him, but I worry that I'm keeping him in his comfort zone and not really helping his career. And I also miss how things used to be between us
