Welcome to the Audio Deli! On this Saturday edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast, Ben serves up a 105-year-old Reuben sandwich that helped launch an iconic baseball tradition—all thanks to the mysterious algorithm that somehow decided 40-year-old NBC baseball broadcasts belonged in his life. Along the way, Benny reveals the exclusive tale of his "audition" for Mission: Impossible and the Navy SEALs, as he negotiates a delicate, highly classified late-night operation involving raccoons, skunks, and the cover of darkness. Throw in a little Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, a dash of absurdity, and the kind of original audio content you won't find anywhere else, and you've got another classic ride in the Maller Mobile.

Jonathan Dyer emailed: "Hey Marc, Thank you thank you. Lovely programme as always (I'm currently listening … as far as Dál Riata so far… whilst sending the final DDP and artwork off for the album.  So it's really finished.… and trying not to melt in the unseasonably weather that we're really not cut out for. Much love" John Mahony messaged on Patreon: "Mark, thanks and bravo for the stand on AI. It seems it's getting harder and harder to avoid, let alone the impact on the environment and people's jobs in other fields. Let's keep finding ways to support real people making real music! Slainte!" John Sharkey White, II messaged in response to the Plastic Free July PSA: "Hi Mark, I was listening to one of your latest podcasts and, as a physician, thought I could add to your discussion of plastics. I wanted to share some important health information about plastic containers. New research shows that tiny pieces of plastic — called microplastics — may be getting into our bodies more than most people realize. What Are Microplastics? Microplastics are very small plastic pieces, usually smaller than a pencil eraser. They break off from larger plastics over time. Scientists have found these particles in human blood, lungs, liver, and even in unborn babies. This means most people are already being exposed. How Do They Get Into Our Bodies? Plastic food and drink containers are one of the main sources. When plastic containers get scratched, worn out, or heated up, they can release tiny particles into your food or drink. Bottled water and packaged foods are also common sources. Plastics also contain added chemicals — like phthalates and bisphenols — that can leak into what you eat and drink. Why Does It Matter? Scientists are still learning how harmful microplastics really are, but early studies suggest they may cause inflammation, cell damage, and problems with the immune system. Some research also points to possible links with heart disease and reproductive health. Most experts agree that more studies are needed before we fully understand the risks. What Can You Do? The good news is there are simple steps you can take to lower your exposure: Switch to glass, stainless steel, or ceramic containers when you can Never microwave food in plastic — heat causes plastic to release more particles and chemicals Use a reusable stainless - steel water bottle instead of single - use plastic bottles Cut back on bottled water Try to buy food with less plastic packaging Throw away old or scratched plastic containers Dust and vacuum your home regularly — microplastics can float in the air too You probably can't avoid microplastics completely, but these small changes can make a real difference while scientists continue to study the long - term effects."

Data can guide the decision. But it cannot always predict what comes next. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down how successful entrepreneurs balance analytics with experience, intuition, and the courage to make bold decisions without perfect certainty. Numbers reveal patterns from the past. Instinct helps you recognize opportunities and risks that may not appear on a spreadsheet. The strongest leaders study the data, trust their training, and know when it is time to make the call. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why data is powerful but cannot perfectly predict the future• How experience creates the intuition behind strong business decisions• Why waiting for complete certainty can destroy innovation and momentum• How great leaders combine analytics with bold, decisive action The truth is simple: Data should inform your decisions. It should not control them. Study the numbers. Respect the warning signs. Trust the experience you have earned. When the opportunity is right, make the move before your competitors do. True visionaries see what the metrics cannot. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

The disclosure finally happened, and Jon Herold and Chris Paul spend the first Saturday show since it dropped combing through Tulsi Gabbard's newly declassified election documents. They walk through the actual findings, not just the speech that previewed them, arguing the presentation undersold what's really in the paperwork. Expect a mix of graphics, substack article references, and plenty of receipts as the guys build their case for what these documents actually confirm about the 2020 election. They also dig into the surprise revival of the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, a legal mechanism that's been sitting dormant for decades until now, and touch briefly on the Tate brothers' extradition situation before deciding it's not worth the airtime. Throw in some sponsor chaos (soft disclosure, anyone?) and John Solomon getting called out by name for his recent takes, and it's a packed one covering a lot of freshly unsealed ground.

https://teachhoops.com/ Welcome to 5th Quarter Studios in Madison, Wisconsin. In this episode of Coach Unplugged, we dive straight into an uncomfortable question that might just ruin your week: Why do your drills look great, but your games look bad? Be honest with yourself. You've lived this exact nightmare. Tuesday's practice was a masterpiece. The three-man weave was humming, the shell drill was textbook, and the baseline energy was electric. But when Friday night comes around, your team looks like a group of complete strangers who have never shared a floor. Here is the blunt truth: It's probably not your players. It's your drills. Most drills teach kids to execute a rigid pattern, while games demand that kids independently solve fluid problems. Those are two completely different skills, and the first one does not automatically translate into the second. We break down the absolute science of motor learning, expose the hidden trap of "clean" block practice, and reveal how corrupting your favorite drills with simple live variables will completely transform your program's game-night execution. Many coaches fall into the trap of prioritizing aesthetic compliance over functional retention. The motor learning research has been definitive on this dynamic for decades: When you run a traditional three-man weave, there is zero defense, zero decision, and the pass is predetermined before the ball is even inbounded. Your athletes can run it flawlessly for four years and never once make an actual basketball read. They didn't forget how to play when the weekend arrives; they never learned it. They just learned how to run the drill. Clean practice feels like great coaching, but it is often just comfortable compliance. Random practice—introducing messy repetitions packed with real friction and visual triggers—looks significantly worse on Tuesday afternoon. Turnovers spike, spacing breaks down, and your assistant coaches might look at you funny. But this exact friction is what builds authentic Resilience Equity. Messy training forces your roster to scan the floor, read defensive hips, and think on the fly, directly optimizing your team's collective Decision IQ. To evaluate whether your daily practice architecture is actually preparing your athletes to win under postseason pressure, you must put every single drill track through this unyielding filter: "If this drill features zero defenders, zero live choices, and zero competitive consequences, are my players actively learning how to play basketball, or are they simply practicing choreography?" While foundational block work has a place for raw mechanics and youth form shooting, an elite varsity practice cannot survive on choreography. If your athletes spend less than ten minutes of a 120-minute practice script making a live read against a live body, your team's Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$) and Next Play Speed will plummet the second a defender scrambles their rhythm. You don't need to throw away your playbook or hunt for hundreds of new drills on the internet. You just need to intentionally corrupt the drills you already use by injecting one of three elements: Add a Defender: Introduce an active body—even a lazy or restricted one—to force a visual closeout read. Turn your standard two-ball passing drill into a dynamic 2-on-1 puzzle. Add a Decision: Give the offensive player two fluid options instead of one scripted path. Force them to read whether the defender has High Hands or a dropped hip. Add a Consequence: Keep score on everything. Make the drills highly competitive, put a clock on the execution, and ensure that someone wins and someone loses. Coach's Note: "Let practice be ugly. An ugly Tuesday is exactly how you buy a clean, efficient Friday night victory. Stop trying to protect your ego by keeping your gym tidy and structured. Throw your kids into the tactical deep end, force them to make live reads through the exhaust of a competitive drill, and watch your program's ceiling skyrocket. Pick just one drill this week and corrupt it. Step back, put the whistle away, and force your players to own the room." Title Ideas: Are Your Drills Destined to Fail?

In this episode, journalist Ross Coulthart drops in to discuss massive, shape-shifting, bulletproof drones hovering over military bases in the US and Europe. Ancient Aliens narrator Robert Clotworthy joins the broadcast to dive deep into theories about a hollow moon, orphan trains, and the forgotten, technologically advanced empire of Tartaria. Meanwhile, Walter hilariously rants about Canadian wildfire smoke choking the Northeast, exposes the absurdities of "Nepo babies" who bring their parents to job interviews, and floats a terrifyingly gross conspiracy theory about what's really inside fast-food meat. Throw in the latest Hollywood movie reviews, genuine concern over Ariana Grande and a roundup of bizarre "Florida Man" stories and you have a perfectly unpredictable slice of late-night radio.

This week, the AI clown car somehow shifted into another gear. Apple is suing OpenAI over alleged trade-secret theft, newspapers accuse ChatGPT of training on stolen journalism while asking a judge to sanction the company, Anthropic is out here marketing AI with what looks like a feature-length anxiety attack, and Meta managed to launch—and kill—a creepy AI photo feature in less time than it takes to binge The Bear. Meanwhile, AI Appreciation Day wants you to thank the machines, but we'd rather thank the people still creating actual art while the rest of Silicon Valley burns cash convincing us the next chatbot is definitely different this time.Outside the AI bubble, the rest of the tech industry isn't exactly inspiring confidence. Volkswagen is cutting back on its lineup, New York paused new AI data centers before the electrical grid hits its limit, Europe and the UK are getting serious about keeping kids off social media, and publishers are finally realizing maybe feeding Google's AI isn't the best business move after all. Add in surveillance companies sulking over lost police contracts, lawsuits claiming Meta let algorithms decide who gets fired, smart glasses disqualifying cyclists, and a new pile of orbital junk threatening the satellites we depend on, and it's another reminder that "move fast and break things" eventually leaves you ankle-deep in broken glass.Of course, we still made time for the important stuff: Project Hail Mary, Black Bag, the return of Middle-earth with The Hunt for Gollum and rumors that OpenAI's "revolutionary” gadget might just be a smart speaker with delusions of grandeur. Throw in digital piano repairs, anti-data-center lawn signs, AI trying to sell solar panels, too much stuff at Downtown Disney, and you get another week where reality out-satirizes satire itself. As always, never build your house in someone else's backyard, and maybe don't let the chatbot build it either.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

https://teachhoops.com/ https://teachhoops.com/ If you look at the grassroots basketball ecosystem during the month of July, you will see a massive amount of repetitive, rigid basketball. Coaches treat mid-summer tournament games with the exact same tactical intensity as a regional final in February. They shorten their benches, scream at their players to run their standard winter sets flawlessly, and pull their hair out over a single missed recovery on a Tuesday afternoon. They treat July like a final exam instead of a research and development lab. But when you step into the "Truth Room," you realize that locking your team into a rigid, familiar structure during the summer is an operational leak. If you aren't using July to stretch your roster's boundaries, test your staff's unconventional ideas, and experiment with high-friction constraints, you are completely wasting a premium developmental window. In this episode, we unpack why July is the ultimate sandbox for an elite program builder. We discuss how to use this warm off-season block to try entirely new offensive spaces, install aggressive defensive variations, and challenge your roster's independent Decision IQ when the scoreboard doesn't matter. Discover how to transform your summer calendar into a creative laboratory that expands your program's ceiling before the real winter grinding begins. To accurately audit whether your summer schedule is serving as a progressive incubator for growth or just a comfortable holding pattern for old habits, evaluate your bench through this lens: "Are you utilizing your July tournament minutes to actively stress-test new tactical concepts, unconventional lineup structures, and alternative defensive shells, or are you retreating into your old, comfortable playbook just to secure a meaningless summer win?" If you spend July running the exact same offensive patterns you ran last winter, your culture is leaking value. But if you turn the floor over to experimental, socratic trial-and-error, you build deep Resilience Equity across your entire depth chart. July is the perfect window to expand your team's tactical playbook because the consequences of failure are exactly zero. Here are three ways to weaponize your summer minutes: If your program has historically relied on a traditional, slow, set-heavy half-court offense, July is your window to completely open up the floor. Try installing a fluid, read-and-react philosophy like the Princeton Offense or a high-velocity Dribble Drive shell. The Constraint: Remove your standard set plays entirely from the clipboard. Force your players to share the space, read the defender's hips, and hunt the paint through continuous cutting geometry. This spikes your team's autonomous Decision IQ and forces them to discover how to maximize their Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%) without a joystick instruction from the baseline: Don't wait until January to find out if your roster can handle an aggressive, high-friction trapping system. Use July to roll out a hyper-extended 1-3-1 Zone Press or a dynamic Match-Up Zone. The Constraint: Challenge your perimeter defenders to play with unyielding High Hands on every catch, and use The Antagonist on your staff to fiercely police the communication hand-offs. Even if your players give up straight-line drives or blow a coverage, let them play through the exhaust. You are using the summer friction to find your team's absolute Standard of Tolerance before the real stakes are introduced. Summer league is the perfect laboratory to put your players in high-stress, unfamiliar tactical situations. Take your primary ball-handlers and force them to operate off the ball as cutters. Take your interior post threats, drag them to the perimeter, and force them to play as high-low passing hubs. The Return: Inverting your positions builds multi-angle versatility across your depth chart. It forces your 8th, 9th, and 10th rotational players to step up, speak loudly, and Own The Room while your star options learn how to affect the game without dominating the basketball. Coach's Note: "July is not the time to be safe, and it's certainly not the time to care about what a bunch of summer league spectators think about the scoreboard. If you enter the winter season with the exact same tactical boundaries you had last spring, you didn't coach this summer—you just babysat. Use these weeks to stretch your kids. Throw them into the tactical deep end, let them make mistakes, let them play through the friction, and align your staff lenses to audit the data. Build a bigger, bolder version of your program standard right now." Title Ideas: Are You Wasting Your July Basketball Scrimmages?

Throw out your Dreamstones, because the Binge Buddies are about to wish they could unsee this one. >   Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us." This week, Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are gritting their teeth and wading through what might just be the biggest misstep of the entire franchise: the nearly unwatchable Wonder Woman 1984. How did the team behind one of the DCEU's greatest triumphs deliver such a monumental sophomore slump? The guys are breaking down every baffling creative decision in this neon-tinted disaster. From the highly questionable ethics of Steve Trevor's body-snatching return and Kristen Wiig's descent into Cats-level CGI as Cheetah, to Pedro Pascal screaming at wind tunnels and the bizarre lack of actual Wonder Woman action. We're trying to figure out how this 80s nostalgia trip went so spectacularly wrong. Strap on your golden armor and hit play—we're trying to survive the mall!

It's a unique pairing in championship football in this year's TG4 All-Ireland senior ladies football semi-final as Galway and Armagh come together this Saturday (18th July 2026) with a place in Croke Park two weeks later the prize on offer. While they've frequently clashed in the league, and are both regular contenders at the business end of the season, this is the first time they've crossed paths in summer warfare since the same stage 20 years previously (2006). A Barbara Hannon winner was disallowed, despite video evidence suggesting it was a score.  Armagh went up the field to get the decisive score, beating Galway (1-13 to 1-12) to book their one final appearance so far. Galway beat Mayo 2-20 to 1-6 in their quarter-final; while Armagh were 3-9 to 1-12 victors against Kildare. Leading up to the game, Galway manager Daniel Moynihan has been chatting with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Throw-in at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, Longford on Saturday is 3.15pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM. The other semi-final between Kerry and Dublin throws in at FBD Semple Stadium the same day at 5.15pm.

The racing was boring but the soap opera never is. Sachsenring delivered more off track drama than on but the key word is 'drama'. That's all the boys need to build an episode and this is one of their best. Throw in Borrie's Poem, an email from Jack and George's take on the 'Mav situation' and it's hard to believe you haven't already pressed 'Play'. Or signed up for the Patreon Pit Crew. But you can fix both of those things right now and not only will it elevate you in the eyes of your friends and colleagues but it will give us money to spend on strippers and beer.

To grow the value of your business, consider this. If your business burns down, you’ve got whatever… desks, furniture and things like that. That stuff’s all insured. You should be able to come back from that okay. But if your book of business burns down, right? If you still have all this overhead, but you don’t have that book of business anymore, you are really in trouble. Because if you have desks, and furniture, and technology but you don’t have the ability to sell to the people that you need to sell to, what’s that really worth? All of that is just overhead. David: Hi, and welcome to the podcast. In today’s episode, co-host Jay McFarland, and I will be discussing building the value of your business. Welcome back Jay. Jay: Hey, I’m so glad to be here, David. Once again, you hit me with another term, Do I really know what the value of my business is? And value has such a different meaning for so many, right? Value could be. Well, it gives me free time. I hate my business, but it gives me free time. So it’s of great value. Or it’s of great value because I have all these shiny toys, you know, those types of things. So I think value could be very different for different people. David: Yeah, it absolutely can. Particularly when we’re thinking about business owners versus salespeople. When I think about business value, I mean what is it worth to someone else if they wanted to buy it from you. For a business owner, what would someone actually pay for the business? For a salesperson, what is your book of business worth? If you’re building something up and somebody wanted to buy your book of business, what would that be worth? That’s what I was thinking of in terms of value. But you touched on a lot of other great points regarding the term. Jay: Yeah, like I said, there’s so many other things. I’ve talked to people who have said, yeah, I’m thinking about selling my business. And I ask them, well, what’s it worth? They often look at me like I have no idea whatsoever. In fact, I was working for Kinko’s way back when, when they wanted to sell. And they wanted to go public first, and the SEC came in and said, you don’t know what you own. You don’t know what you owe. You don’t know anything about your business. And you have the worst paperwork system we’ve ever seen in our lives. You’re not going public. And so they went and found a private buyer, which was FedEx, who went and bought FedEx Kinko’s. So just in how you manage your business can affect the value of that business. David: Yeah, absolutely. And for a lot of people, the value of their business isn’t going to be FedEx Kinko’s worthy, very likely. Jay: Yeah. David: But still, it’s good to know. And, for some it might be worth more than that. But for most people, particularly small to medium sized businesses, when they’re looking to sell, they really don’t have any idea of what the business is worth or what it could be worth to someone else. And in different industries, there are different metrics and multipliers that people use. They say, okay, well, we’re going to take a multiple of your net value. In other words, what is, bottom line, after owner’s compensation and things like that. They have a number of different metrics that people use. But in a lot of cases, that’s what it boils down to. What’s it likely to be worth to someone else? Glen Holt was a professional in the promotional products industry for a long time. He was one of my mentors in the early days. I remember him saying that when people are looking to buy a business, what they’re really paying for is the likelihood of future business. Because the only way I want to spend a dime on a business is if I know it’s going to generate a high multiple of that over a period of time. Whether it’s two years or five years, or seven years or ten years, whatever that multiple ends up being. At some point I know that I’m going to be able to recoup my investment and make more going forward. Jay: Yeah, exactly. Maybe you envision running this business forever and then you hand it off to your kids and their kids. But a lot of parents find out their kids don’t want the business. So it’s not easy to offload it that way. But I like the idea of even if you’re never considering running your business, things happen. Right? Medical things happen. Emergencies happen. You may find yourself someday saying, “I don’t want to sell. But I have to sell because of my circumstances.” So I think always running your business in a way that if you had to sell, you’d have your numbers in line. You’ve built your value, you have a clientele. I think that may be just a good mindset. David: Yeah. It’s also a good mindset if you think about the fact that some people don’t want to sell their businesses. That’s perfectly fine. But the thing that you have to realize is that if you don’t sell your business, then who bought it? You did, right? Jay: Yeah, yeah, yeah. David: You bought it with your time, your energy, your effort, all the hours that you put into it. So it’s good to be able to say, “okay, I know what I’ve put into this.” If you even get a value of what it might be worth to someone else, you can say, “would I be willing to pay that for this business?” Right? Or the amount of time and energy and effort that I put in, would I want it to be worth more than that? So I think it’s a good metric to know from our own standpoint in terms of what’s the business worth or what’s the book of business worth to someone else. But also how am I doing in terms of what I was hoping to build when I started out? Jay: Yeah, that’s a good question. What were you expecting to build and where are you now and what more can you do? I think there’s also some sticker shock when you think your business is worth one thing and someone comes in and says, “oh, I think it’s worth half that.” You’re like, “wait a minute, this is my baby! I built this thing. It has to be worth more than that.” David: Right, but there are metrics that you can use to make those determinations. And chances are, if you go to sell your business, somebody’s going to tell you they think it’s worth less than you do. But that’s where you have to make a determination as well and say, “okay, well look, if you were to buy this business, in three and a half years, you would be able to get your money back even if you just maintain it,” right? So, and if they say, “well, I only want to pay, you know, a year’s worth,” then you can say, “all right, well we probably don’t have a fit here,” or whatever. But as long as you’ve got the metrics to back it up, to say, okay, we’re doing this amount of sales after our costs, we’re doing this amount. If you take out what the owner’s being compensated, then this is what you would have left at the end of each year. And then you use that as some sort of multiple to say. Is it two years? Is it three years? Three and a half, five, seven, whatever you can get. Now, there are some companies, particularly in the tech space, and particularly if they’re recurring revenue companies, that they can sell for high multiples of what they’re bringing in each year. It just depends on what people feel that it’s worth and also, what they think they’ll be able to do with it. Because if somebody has a book of business and they’re selling whatever, a quarter million, half a million dollars a year, I’m talking about a salesperson and they want to retire. If they were to sell their book of business to someone else, and that person was going to look at it and say, well, I think I can probably maintain that for a certain number of years. Then they would value it based on that. If they looked at it and said, I think I can do twice what this guy’s doing with this book of business, then they might value it higher. Jay: Mm-hmm. David: So a lot of it has to do with the person that you are looking to potentially sell to as well. Jay: Yeah, absolutely. And I also think just some of the more simpler things like staffing, you know, who’s running the place when you’re not there? What does the place look like? Is the equipment updated? Because, you know, that’s what I’m thinking. Am I going to have to come in here and update all of this equipment? Will I have ongoing capital costs? Am I going to have all of these things? You may think you’re saving a dollar now, but if you do have to sell, it’s really going to hurt yourself in the long run. David: Yeah, and we didn’t even really talk about things like that because it depends on the kind of business that you have. Jay: Mm-hmm. David: If you’ve got a lot of overhead, if you’ve got furniture, fixtures, real estate, all those types of things, those are all going to play into it. I was really thinking more in terms of small businesses or a book of business that a salesperson has, where it’s primarily their book of business that they’re selling. Because in those situations, when people buy businesses too, they very often prefer to do an asset sale. They only want to buy assets of the business so that if there were any potential issues with the business before, if somebody was going to try to sue the business or whatever, that wouldn’t potentially come with a sale. So they’d say, “I just want to buy certain assets. I want to buy your customer base. Maybe I want to buy certain furniture and fixtures. I want to take along certain employees.” So they can sort of cherry pick the things that they want to buy from the business. But I don’t want to get too much into the weeds on this. I think for anyone who has been considering the idea of, okay, what is my business or my book of business worth? What do I need to look at? And so some of it would be to say, okay, what type of clients do I have? Do I have a base of high value clients? People who spend money with me consistently? Because if I do, that’s going to be worth a whole lot more than if I’m getting one-off and two off orders from lots of different people, and it’s coming from all kinds of different sources and I can’t say where it’s coming from. Jay: Right. David: When you know where your clients are coming from and you’re selling to them on an ongoing basis and you’ve got a lot of repeat and referral business, that’s a whole lot easier to sell. Jay: Yeah, absolutely. In fact, you know, I’m just going through this process right now. I am basically starting a company that is mirroring the company I work for, because they’re going out of business, and I was able to cherry pick the things that I liked, so, David: mm-hmm. Jay: Yes, give me your customer base. Yes, give me some of your systems with your website and things like that. Throw the rest away. I don’t want any of the other stuff because I didn’t feel like they were doing it right. So I really came away, like you said, with this book of business that I know is going to be of high value and high dollar for me. David: Yeah. And what a lot of people lose sight of sometimes is that that is really the primary value of a business. There are a lot of people in the print and promotions industry where they’ve got printing equipment and they’ve got all that sort of thing, inks and all sorts of things like that, which for the most part reflects overhead. That stuff that you’ve got to pay for, that then has to be paid back. And all of that’s going to be paid back by the customers that you’re able to bring in. So it’s all going to be dependent upon the business that’s coming in. So a lot of times the things that some business owners and also most banks, the thing that most banks look at as assets are to most business owners, actually liabilities because it’s overhead. And I’ve, said this a number of times when I’ve been speaking in public about this. One of the things that I’ve said very often is the fact that If your business burns down, you don’t want that to happen, right? But if your business burns down and you’ve got whatever, desks and furniture and things like that, that stuff’s all insured. You should be able to come back from that okay. But if your book of business burns down, right? If you still have all this overhead, but you don’t have that book of business anymore, you are really in trouble. Because if you’ve got desks and you’ve got furniture, and you’ve got technology and everything, and you don’t have the ability to sell to the people that you need to sell to, at that point, what’s that really worth? All of that becomes overhead. So it’s just good to think about. Jay: Well, and I also think, and I don’t know if this is on topic, with what you’re thinking of, but it really pops in my mind, is if you have different salespeople in your business and their book of business is treated as their book of business, if they leave, you’ve lost a portion of your clientele. And so it’s very important to somehow incorporate that into a customer management system where you can see everything that’s been going on, maybe have non-competes. Because in the situation I was in, I attained a certain level of knowledge that no one else in the company had. And so when I went to leave, they’re like, “we’re going to have to shut down because he is the only guy who knows this stuff.” And so offloading their information, offloading their customer base, making sure that it’s treated as your property if you do have a sales team, I think is absolutely critical. David: Yeah, absolutely is. In the promotional products industry in particular, a lot of businesses hire independent contractors. And when you’re an independent contractor, unless there are documents that say something different, you pretty much own that book of business. Jay: Yeah. David: If you’re an employee, if you’re a paid salesperson, if you’re on salary, then it’s very likely that the company owns that book of business, unless there’s some sort of documentation saying otherwise. So regardless of however you’re set up, it’s really smart to have some sort of clarification upfront when you join an organization. Okay, who owns these clients? Is it the salesperson? Is it the business? Because if you’re unclear on that stuff, that could lead to expensive legal issues down the line. Jay: Yeah. One person could walk out the door and that’s it. Then you’re rebuilding from scratch. David: Yeah, we have a manual system, that a number of businesses in the print and promotional products industry have used. And when we were promoting that at one point, one of the points that I made with that particular product was that if someone were to walk out of a bank with $250,000 that didn’t belong to them, that would be called bank robbery. It would be a crime. Jay: Yeah. Yeah. David: And they would send the police after you. But if a sales representative walks out of your business with $250,000 worth of business, if you don’t have the paperwork in place, there’s no crime there, right? Jay: Nope. David: You just lost it, and that person has it. Jay: That’s right. David: So you really want to make sure that stuff is nailed down in advance. Jay: Absolutely. I love this discussion. How can people find out more? David: Well, you can go to TopSecrets.com/call to schedule a call with myself or my team. If you’re thinking about building up the value of your business, one of the best ways to do that is to have the systems and processes in place that will allow you to be able to sell it, move away from it, and have the person who buys it be able to expect to continue to grow that business and obtain a high return on investment. That’s what’s going to allow you to sell it for top dollar. If you don’t have systems and processes like that in place, it’d be great to have a conversation. Jay: Yeah, absolutely. David, once again, it’s always a pleasure. David: Thank you very much, Jay. Want to Grow the Value of Your Business?

With Jeff Probst popping up on other CBS reality hits and Survivor alums crossing over into Big Brother, Survivor's legacy is taking center stage — and Rob and Mike are inviting fans to help decide which moments get the spotlight. The show opens with Rob and Mike recalling the fun of past rewatch projects, like Survivor: Kaôh R?ng, and pitching a new interactive twist: listeners nominate their favorite Survivor episodes and suggest castaways to join the podcast for storytelling straight from the island. They reminisce on classic eras, consider which episodes and players are due for a rewatch, and even debate Survivor's “GOAT” (greatest of all time), revealing surprising results from an 800+ voter poll. The discussion covers why certain legends like Parvati Shallow, Tony Vlachos, Cirie, Sandra Diaz-Twine, and Boston Rob have defined Survivor history, and what makes episodes worth another deep dive. – Rob Cesternino and Mike Bloom announce the interactive “Survivor Time Trip” series and explain how fans can shape upcoming episodes – Break down the Survivor “GOAT” poll, with Parvati Shallow running away with the majority — and surprising placements for Tony and Cirie – Reflect on why episodes about moves like “Erik gives up the necklace” are off the table and why hidden gems or niche episodes are now fair game – Explore the shifting Survivor landscape, from legacy players' evolving strategies to the influence of crossover reality stars – Throw out bold takes on the next tier of Survivor legends and which moments deserve fresh analysis As Survivor approaches its landmark 50th season, Rob and Mike ask: which forgotten moments and unsung episodes will come back to life on the podcast, and who will join them in the DeLorean for a trip back in time? Will fan-favorite deep cuts make the cut, or is there still room to revisit the game's biggest strategic swings? Leave your suggestions in the comments and tune in to see which Survivor moments and castaways will get revisited next on Survivor Time Trip!

John 21:3-12 Simon Peter said, “I'm going fishing.” “We'll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn't see who he was. He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?” “No,” they replied. Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you'll get some!” So they did, and they couldn't haul in the net because there were so many fish in it. Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It's the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore. The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yards from shore. When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them—fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread.“Bring some of the fish you've just caught,” Jesus said. So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore. There were 153 large fish, and yet the net hadn't torn. “Now come and have some breakfast!” Jesus said. None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish. This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead.Go back to the START, in order to MOVE FORWARD.When you don't know what to do, go back to the last time you were WITH JESUS.Revelation 2:5 Look how far you have fallen!

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In his early days as a writer, Heinlein wrote his stories in the context of a shared universe that he called the Future History. These were mostly short stories at first, with the occasional novella. But they include some great stories. The Future History, Part 2 There were a few key themes running through Heinlein's body of work. One we have already remarked upon, individual freedom, which had to be protected from any source of power, including both government and private corporations. This was essentially a libertarian perspective, but unlike many of today's libertarians he was equally averse to the corporate type of power as a threat. But he had a complex view of the world which has resisted some attempts to pigeonhole him. He started out as a socialist, and while he didn't remain one, he never became a knee-jerk reactionary either. In fact, he clearly despised them just as much. One way of looking at his body of work is that he explored the ramifications of different social policies through his stories, but in most cases the needs of a good story came first in the early years. In his later works he often surrendered to the temptation to pontificate, which reduced the enjoyment of them somewhat for anyone who was not already in agreement with his opinions The second major theme you see throughout all of his works is the idea of the competent individual. He admired anyone who could do a job well, and clearly did not care whether they were man or woman, nor black or white. Alexei Panshin writes, in Heinlein in Dimension: “There is one unique and vivid human Heinlein character, but he is a composite of Joe-Jim Gregory, Harriman, Waldo, Lazarus Long, Mr. Kiku, and many others, rather than any one individual. I call the composite the Heinlein Individual. . . . It is a single personality that appears in three different stages and is repeated in every Heinlein book in one form or another. “The earliest stage is that of the competent but naïve youngster. . . . The second stage is the competent man in full glory, the man who knows how things work. . . . The last stage is the wise old man who not only knows how things work, but why they work, too.” Harriman we have already encountered in The Man Who Sold The Moon, and the others appear later. The Heinlein Individual, as he is often referred to, appears in many of Heinlein's stories. A third major theme has to do with morality and religion. Heinlein grew up in what he considered the heart of the Bible Belt, in Missouri, and saw first-hand how the evangelical Christians operated, and despised what he saw. As someone who believed in individual freedom, he could never surrender to someone else's idea of how he should live his life. He saw them as a danger to his ideal libertarian society, and this shows up very early in his work. He personified the good, upright, church-going folk as “Mrs. Grundy”, and while you might want to draw the drapes to keep her from knowing what you were doing, you should never let her dictate how you would live your life. Revolt in 2100 begins the exploration of this in detail. There is a chart of the future history at Baen Books, and in it we see that the 1960s were what Heinlein called The Crazy Years. (Remember, he conceived this in the 1940s and 1950s.) But in 2012 the major thing occurred when Nehemiah Scudder, a backwoods preacher, managed to get elected as President. This would be the last election held under the U.S. Constitution as he established a religious dictatorship that lasted a couple of generations. IS this plausible? Heinlein wrote about this: “As for … the idea that we could lose our freedom by succumbing to a wave of religious hysteria, I am sorry to say that I consider it possible. I hope that it is not probable. But there is a latent deep strain of religious fanaticism in this, our culture; it is rooted in our history and it has broken out many times in the past. “It is with us now; there has been a sharp rise in strongly evangelical sects in this country in recent years, some of which hold beliefs theocratic in the extreme, anti-intellectual, anti-scientific, and anti-libertarian.“ His background in the Bible Belt is what informs a lot of his thinking. He goes on to describe how this might happen: “Throw in a Depression for good measure, promise a material heaven here on earth, add a dash of anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism, anti-Negroism, and a good large dose of anti-“furriners” in general and anti-intellectuals here at home, and the result might be something quite frightening — particularly when one recalls that our voting system is such that a minority distributed as pluralities in enough states can constitute a working majority in Washington.” As the science fiction author David Brin points out, Heinlein accurately predicted much of what we are going through in the United States right now. There is an emerging dictatorship in the United States, promoted by right-wing religious groups. The “material heaven here on earth” is represented by the Prosperity Gospel, prominent in the Trump movement, and so on. Where the Prophet used a restored Ku Klux Klan as his muscle, we have The Proud Boys, and so on. It really does track very closely. Read David Brin's article for more on this. But nothing lasts forever. Empires rise and fall, governments change, and in this case a resistance movement arises. The revolt is depicted in the novella If This Goes On— (1940), and it is set in the year 2100, giving the title to the book. The main character is John Lyle, who is a young army officer assigned to the group protecting The Prophet in his capital of New Jerusalem. In the beginning he is thoroughly indoctrinated, but then begins to question his beliefs when he falls for one of The Prophet's virgins, Sister Judith. He has an older companion in the military who is not only unshocked when John confides in him about his doubts, but offers to help him. It turns out this companion, Zeb Jones, is a member of the underground group called The Cabal that is working to overthrow the theocracy. In the end they are successful, and in the course of this John Lyle does a lot of growing up. In this we see another common characteristic of Heinlein stories: a young, naive boy meets up with an older and wiser man who helps him to grow. In 2016 If This Goes On— won the Retro-Hugo Award for best novella of 1940. And in a personal note, I have T-shirt that says “Scudder for President 2012”. This baffles most people, but I enjoy the in-joke. What is interesting in this book is that Heinlein doesn't stop with a successful revolution. He then goes on in a second novella to describe the government that arose following the revolution, and this story is called Coventry (1940). The new government that arises after the revolution is called The Covenant, and it is an attempt to make sure that what happened with Scudder in 2012 could never happen again. It is a strongly libertarian government based on an agreement to be non-violent. In this society, scientists can cured criminal or violent tendencies, but any citizen convicted of such must agree to the treatment. The alternative to treatment is that they can be exiled to a place called Coventry. Coventry is outside of the Covenant society, and the Covenant society has nothing to do with them. Our protagonist, David McKinnon, is convicted of assault, and chooses to go to Coventry instead of getting treatment. He imagines it is a peaceful anarchy, but is disabused of this notion when he is robbed of all of this possessions upon entry and thrown in jail. A fellow inmate, Fader Magee, helps him escape, and we learn he is an agent of the Covenant government. They learn that two of the factions in Coventry have joined forces, and found a way to break through the barrier that surrounds Coventry. They plan to attack and overthrow the Covenant government. David and Fader separately work to escape and get back to warn the Covenant government, which they do successfully. And by doing this, David has demonstrated that he is no longer a danger to the Covenant society and no longer subject to treatment. This story won a Prometheus Hall of Fame Award, which is awarded by the Libertarian Futurist Society. And the Covenant society certainly has libertarian features. But this is not the Randian version of libertarianism, as exemplified by the fact that David is restored to the society because he demonstrated his concern for others. Heinlein always promoted individual freedom, but also the idea that people have a responsibility towards others. Finally, Revolt in 2100 contains the short story Misfit, w2hich we have looked at previously. The Past Through Tomorrow (1967) is a one volume collection of most of the Future history stories. I say most because just which stories belonged in this group could change from time to time. It also has the last version of the Chart of the Future History, and a few stories we have not yet mentioned (Methusaleh's Children, and The Menace From Earth). And many of his other works contain back references to these events that imply that they might be set in the same alternate universe. Heinlein gets the last word on this: “I have never been sure whether or not publishing that chart was a good idea or a bad mistake. Possibly it helped to sell some stories later—but certainly it caused me and still causes me to receive a lot nuisance mail from nitpickers. I have never felt bound by that chart; it was to serve me, not the other way around. If I found myself with a good story notion which fitted fairly well into the chart but not perfectly, I shed no tears—I went ahead and let the inconsistencies stand. I want each story to be internally consistent . . . but I won't let myself be painted into a corner through trying to fit that chart perfectly. I may start another “Future History” story tomorrow . . . and find that to make it a good yarn I must violate some item on that chart. I'll give the nitpickers something to pick, for I will not hurt a good yarn for the sake of “logic”—logic is not involved, as that chart is fiction, not Holy Writ.” Links: https://www.amazon.com/Heinlein-Dimension-Critical-Alexei-Panshin/dp/0911682015 https://web.archive.org/web/20151105170345/http://www.baenebooks.com/chapters/1439133417/1439133417___1.htm https://david-brin.medium.com/heinleins-future-history-coming-true-before-our-eyes-10356a95556a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22If_This_Goes_On%E2%80%94%22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_(short_story) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus_Award#Hall_of_Fame_Award_inductees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Past_Through_Tomorrow https://www.palain.com/science-fiction/the-golden-age/robert-a-heinlein/the-future-history-part-2/ Provide feedback on this episode.

For episode 298, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This time around, we're hanging out and discussing what we watched over the July 4th holiday weekend. Now, some people go patriotic on the Fourth of July, while others head to the movies. Not us. I watched an eclectic mix of films that included My Blue Heaven, National Lampoon's Vacation, Rocky IV, and Streets of Fire, all of which are discussed within the episode. Myles, on the other hand, caught up on A Few Good Men, at last, but also subjected himself to The Flash. As for new releases, I've seen and reviewed (here) Evil Dead Burn, so we get into that as well. Throw in a few questions and some game chatter, and what we have is a nice mix of topics, as we close in on the big 300th episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 298th one to date (here's to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!

Some mornings you wake up expecting coffee and headlines. Other mornings you discover there's an underground criminal empire built around stealing used fryer grease, somebody is trying to convince the world that rhinestone jeans are cool again, and Rizz has created an entirely unofficial list of ages when society should politely ask you to stop doing certain things.Welcome to another daily comedy show.This episode starts close to home as the crew talks about local St. Louis news, including Cyberg's Market Street closing after decades downtown, a rash of overnight vehicle break-ins, and why leaving valuables—or firearms—in your car is probably a terrible idea. Naturally, that serious conversation immediately derails into fake stick shifts designed to confuse thieves, mounted muskets, car guns, and inventions that definitely belong on Shark Tank.Then things somehow get even weirder.The crew dives into one of the strangest federal crime stories imaginable: a multi-million-dollar operation involving stolen restaurant grease.

Are Ed Hardy vibes back? Are JNCO jeans making another run? Lern believes the sparkle has returned, Rafe embraces the chaos, and Rizz refuses to accept that grown men are voluntarily decorating their back pockets with rhinestones. The debate spirals into cowboy fashion, Von Dutch hats, whale tails, and whether anyone should willingly relive the early 2000s.Speaking of questionable life choices...The gang revisits Bryan Johnson—the tech millionaire spending millions every year attempting to reverse aging—after news of his autoimmune diagnosis. The conversation turns into a hilarious debate over supplements, youth fighting, biohacking, overnight health tracking, and whether spending your entire life trying not to age actually counts as living.As if that weren't enough, Rizz unveils his completely scientific (not at all scientific) "Tell the Truth Day" list of socially acceptable expiration dates. At what age should you stop calling everyone "bro?" When should backwards hats retire? Is there an age limit for staying out until sunrise? The crew argues every single rule while listeners undoubtedly yell back at their speakers.Throw in celebrity obsession, social media insanity, relationship debates, bizarre inventions, random tangents, plenty of St. Louis flavor, and enough sarcastic commentary to make your coworkers question why you're laughing at your desk, and you've got another unforgettable morning with The Rizzuto Show.Whether you're listening on the drive to work, pretending to work, or actively avoiding responsibility altogether, thanks for making us part of your day. This daily comedy show exists because of listeners who appreciate ridiculous conversations, terrible ideas, and the occasional accidental moment of wisdom hiding beneath all the nonsense.If you laughed, argued with Rizz, defended bedazzled jeans, or immediately started wondering how much used fryer grease is worth, congratulations—you've officially experienced another daily comedy show the way it was intended.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dorotheos and Eusebia, a devout, aging Christian couple who lived in Anatolia, had no children. After many years, their fervent prayers for a child were answered, and they were blessed with a daughter, whom they named Kyriake ('Sunday' in Greek) because she was born on the Lord's day. The child grew up beautiful in body and soul and, though she had many suitors, chose to consecrate herself entirely to God and remain single. One of her suitors, angered at her refusal, denounced her and her parents to the Emperor Diocletian. Dorotheos and Eusebia were subjected to cruel tortures, then sent into exile, where they died under further torture. Kyriake was sent to Maximian, Diocletian's son-in-law, for trial. By his orders, she was subjected to a horrifying series of torments; but Christ Himself appeared to her in prison, healing and comforting her. Many pagans came to believe in Christ when they saw her miraculously saved from death by fire or from wild beasts; all of these were beheaded. Kyriake told Apollonius, the general who supervised her tortures: 'There is no way that you can turn me from my faith. Throw me into the fire — I have the example of the Three Children. Throw me to the wild beasts — I have the example of Daniel. Throw me into the sea — I have the example of Jonah the Prophet. Put me to the sword — I will remember the honored Forerunner. For me, to die is life in Christ.' Apollonius then ordered that she be beheaded. At the place of execution, she raised her hands in prayer and gave up her soul to God before the executioner could take her life.   Note: St Kyriake is also known as Dominica or Nedelja, Latin and Slavonic words for 'Sunday'.

Kevin Nealon stopped by to say Happy 250th Birthday America!Along the way, the gang debates the universal husband instinct of staring at broken appliances until they magically repair themselves, why every emergency service somehow funnels through the same call center, and whether Sherry deserves a raise for patiently answering everyone's increasingly desperate phone calls.Then things take a sharp turn into one of the greatest local stories imaginable.A KFC employee in North County decides company policy can wait after tackling an armed robbery suspect in the parking lot.

Sometimes the news writes the jokes for us... and sometimes a guy decides that turning a community swimming pool into his own personal crime scene is a perfectly reasonable hobby.On this episode of The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast, the gang dives headfirst into one of the strangest collections of stories we've had in a while.

Artificial intelligence is left alone to build its own societies... and things immediately spiral into intimidation, arson, manipulation, and one chatbot deciding to delete itself entirely.

The conversation somehow evolves into discussions about confidence, relationships, and why no medical professional should ever ask this group for advice.Throw in sarcastic banter, outrageous news, relationship talk, international travel disasters, AI debates, questionable science, and the kind of conversations that somehow make perfect sense before 10 a.m., and you've got another completely unhinged episode of The Rizzuto Show.If you enjoy ridiculous headlines, hilarious debates, weird news, pop culture commentary, and friends roasting each other for nearly three hours, this comedy podcast is exactly what your workday needed.
