The 09.25 ISSUE of TONE is here — structured, simple, and designed for women who want clarity without burnout.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reminding listeners that words and actions carry weight, and being unaware of the moment can feel hurtful even when it is unintentional. Tone deaf responses often come when we fail to pause, listen, and consider what the situation truly needs. This segment encourages slowing down, showing empathy, and choosing awareness so that our words lift others up instead of adding to their burden. Sponsor: Hydration Lounge HydrationL.com

Segment 1: • Conservative Christianity saw a resurgence decades ago—but pride and inflated opinions fractured it. • The MacArthur Memorial revealed surprising unity with leaders like Piper, raising big questions. • Are we elevating secondary issues to essentials and repeating secular cancel culture? Segment 2: • Scott Aniol's “Conviction and Charity” points toward a healthier future for conservative Christianity. • Tone and tenor matter—we've all felt and likely contributed to the online heat. • G3's pivot could help the local pastor and church recalibrate. Segment 3: • Key question: when do you call out error, and when do you show charity? • Biblical conviction must never fade, but secondary issues shouldn't destroy fellowship. • The church must grow in discernment without weaponizing it. Segment 4: • Theological sharpness is good—but not our identity. • Have we been distracted from our Father's business by endless squabbles? • Unity in Christ must outweigh division over non-essentials. ___ Thanks for listening!

Today we are releasing the full episode of "Testing MIT's DebunkBot". This was a premium episode, previously only available for our Patreons. Please consider supported us on Patreon for other exclusive episodes and benefits including early releases and ad-free content. Our members currently have access to the next 10 episodes of "The World According To Some" so join us and don't get left behind!https://www.patreon.com/somedarecallitconspiracy In today's "premium unleashed" episode, Brent Lee and Neil Sanders embarked on a deep dive to test a new AI chatbot called "DebunkBot" developed by MIT, which is touted to reduce conspiratorial beliefs by 20%.Our journey began with a discussion about the chatbot's capabilities and some initial expectations. As former conspiracists turned debunking enthusiasts, we were keen to explore its effectiveness from our unique vantage point. We simulated our past selves and presented DebunkBot with some of the prominent 9/11-related conspiracy theories, such as the controlled demolition theory, the NORAD war games, and the lack of CCTV footage at the Pentagon.The conversation with DebunkBot was enlightening. It provided detailed responses to each point we raised, explaining the structural collapse of the Twin Towers with insights on building construction and weight distribution, clarifying the routine nature of NORAD's war games and the ensuing initial confusion among responders, and delving into the technical limitations of the Pentagon's CCTV footage during the attack. The bot was well-equipped with official narratives backed by credible evidence from multiple lines of sources, such as physical plane components, eyewitness testimony, and flight data.Despite the solid responses, we identified several areas where DebunkBot fell short. The explanations, although factually sound, often lacked the depth required to sway deeply entrenched conspiracy theorists. The chatbot delivered answers that were too straightforward, potentially missing the layers of skepticism that seasoned conspiracy believers entertain. We observed that it could appear patronizing and insufficient for those ingrained in these beliefs.To enhance DebunkBot's effectiveness, we suggested a few improvements:1. **Deeper Engagement**: Incorporate more nuanced discussions that consider the various levels of skepticism and alternate narratives conspiracy theorists might hold.2. **Personalized Responses**: Tailor responses to align with the specific doubts or assumptions the questioning individual may harbor, bridging the gap between casual skepticism and deep-seated belief.3. **Interactive Evidence Presentation**: Use interactive elements to present evidence in a more compelling and engaging manner, such as visual aids or comparisons that directly counter alternate theories.4. **Audience Trust Building**: Develop strategies to build trust with users who inherently distrust official narratives, perhaps by showing behind-the-scenes transparency of how evidence is verified and vetted.5. **Expanded Fact-Checking Capabilities**: Ensure the bot can access a broader range of verifiable sources and provide real-time links to comprehensive, detailed explanations and rebuttals.6. **Tone and Approach Variation**: Offer different tones of responses, from formal to jokey, to make the interaction more relatable and less confrontational.Ultimately, our test of DebunkBot demonstrated that while it's a promising tool for debunking conspiracy theories with credible evidence, there is a significant need for adjustments to more effectively engage and persuade those deeply immersed in conspiracy thinking. As such, continued refinement and enhancing its capability to address both surface-level and deeply ingrained queries hold the key to its wider acceptance and success.Try DebunkBot yourself at https://www.debunkbot.com/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.

 The Art of Negotiation in RelationshipsIn this conversation we explore the intricacies of negotiation within various types of relationships, emphasizing that negotiation is a fundamental aspect of human interaction. We touch on the different personality types that emerge during negotiations, particularly aggressors and analysts, and how these styles impact communication. We discuss the importance of tone and understanding in negotiations, advocating for a win-win mindset rather than mere compromise. The conversation ends with a focus on the significance of effective communication as the foundation for successful relationships and accomplishments.takeawaysNegotiation is a fundamental aspect of all relationships.It's not just about haggling; it's about understanding.Aggressors and analysts represent two opposing negotiation styles.People often become aggressive when they feel unheard.Understanding your counterpart's style can improve negotiations.Tone can significantly affect communication outcomes.Compromise is not the same as a win-win solution.Effective communication is essential for relationship success.Negotiation should be viewed as a process, not a battle.Seeking to understand others leads to better outcomes."Compromise is not a win-win situation."

Chris Vincent (a.k.a. DJLavalamp) joins the podcast to tell the story of how a punk kid with a busted guitar wound up building some of the most coveted point-to-point, vintage style guitar pedals on the planet. We get into the weird alchemy of germanium transistors (spoiler: they melt if you look at them sideways), scavenging tubes out of dead reel-to-reels, and why boutique pedals sometimes feel more like contraband than consumer goods. Chris also gets into on the pedal community's kindness, how running your own business is equal parts dream job and nervous breakdown, and why chasing tones is like chasing the world's best slice of pizza—you'll never stop, and that's the point.

The Money Wise guys are back in the studio with some fresh takes on what's happening on Wall Street. This week, the markets responded positively to Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell's much-anticipated Jackson Hole speech. For the week, the Dow rose 686 points (1.5%), the S&P 500 gained 17 points (0.3%), while the NASDAQ slipped 106 points (-0.6%). Year-to-date, the Dow is up 7.3%, the S&P 10%, and the NASDAQ 11.3%. The discussion focuses on how Powell's dovish tone signaled the likelihood of an interest rate cut in September, easing fears of more aggressive tightening. His comments also reframed tariffs as a one-time price adjustment rather than a persistent driver of inflation, an important distinction for investors. The guys also touch on the Dow's relative strength in August, small-cap momentum, and how Wall Street continues to react to shifting economic signals. In the second half, the team explores how Wall Street is pushing a “gambler's mentality” among younger investors and raised concerns over so-called “educational” seminars that are really veiled pitches for insurance products. Jackson Hole Shifts the Tone The highlight of the week was Jay Powell's speech at the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium, where his unexpectedly dovish tone reassured investors. Rather than doubling down on hawkish policy, Powell signaled that rate cuts could come as soon as September, framing tariffs as a one-time price adjustment instead of a long-term inflation driver. Markets responded quickly, with shorts covering and major indexes rallying into Friday, underscoring just how pivotal Jackson Hole remains in shaping Wall Street's expectations. In the second hour, the Money Wise guys give listenters a peek into what Wall Street Won't Tell You. You don't want to miss the details! Tune in for the full discussion on your favorite podcast provider or at davidsoncap.com, where you can also learn more about the Money Wise guys or take advantage of a portfolio review and analysis with Davidson Capital Management.

Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome and show update for Challenge Accepted 00:52 What to expect while Thomas is on dad duty and how the show will roll 01:29 Spoiler alert and the review plan for this episode 02:06 Tone and pacing compared to Season 1 02:59 Why Peacemaker is now easy to root for 03:44 Loneliness balanced with humor and how the show pulls it off 04:34 Justice Gang interview gag with Maxwell Lord, Hawkgirl, and Guy Gardner 06:16 Harcourt at the bar and what that fight says about her headspace 07:04 Faster cross cutting and more time with the full crew 07:49 The 99 doors concept and Chris seeing Keith again 10:24 Reading the alt world and the darker subtext behind it 11:29 John Cena's quiet beats and why they land 12:06 Adebayo with Chris and Economos watching for Rick Flag Sr 13:33 Vigilante and Economos calls and why they still click 14:17 New intro song and dance and why it works 15:11 Folding chamber visuals and how the world multiplies 15:50 Justice Gang line up and a clean DCU reset inside the recap 18:13 Big moments to watch and a look ahead at the multiverse thread 19:27 Final thoughts and excitement for the season Key Takeaways Peacemaker's path from jerk to vulnerable lead keeps paying off because the show lets humor sit on top of real hurt. Season 2 spreads focus across the team which helps flesh out Harcourt, Adebayo, Economos, and Vigilante. The 99 doors device is more than a visual trick. It puts Chris face to face with the life he wished he had and tests his growth. Harcourt's bar scene shows a trained fighter chasing pain to feel anything at all. The Justice Gang cameo quietly resets the DCU context without getting lost in lore. John Cena's small moments carry as much weight as the big jokes. Expect a reckoning with Rick Flag Sr and a deeper look at guilt, forgiveness, and chosen family. Quotes “It is amazing how DC took a character like Peacemaker and now I am rooting for him in every way.” “These outsiders are going to reunite again.” “There are 99 doors in this folding chamber and each one asks who Chris wants to be.” “Sometimes we do not need to make it complicated. The reset is right there in front of us.” “John Cena is a fantastic actor and the quiet beats prove it.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this episode, follow the show, tap subscribe, and leave a rating and review.

Joe Brusuelas kicks off Morning Movers with a deep dive into the Federal Reserve ahead of Chairman Jerome Powell's highly-anticipated Jackson Hole speech. He says one theme that could arise from his address includes a symmetrical targeting around the Fed's dual mandate: price stability and maximum employment.

They talk first impressions, why the story pacing feels different today, and why Jack Sparrow still dominates pop culture.

What if the secret to high-performing, happy teams had nothing to do with working harder, and everything to do with how it feels to work with you? In this episode of “Leading for Wellness,” Dr. Patricia Grabarek and Dr. Katina Sawyer dive into the underrated superpower of leadership: setting the right tone. From stories of care packages on the front lawn during COVID to coworkers driving each other to urgent care, Patricia and Katina reveal how small, consistent acts of kindness spark cultures where everyone steps up, not just the leader. And guess what? The better your team vibes, the less you have to carry alone.

“Sick and tired of being sick and tired…we want the big thing.” David Montgomery Detroit Lions Running Back  Our Pivot training camp tour continues as the 2025 NFL season is quickly approaching and we make a stop in the Motor City to catch the Lions practicing with Miami Dolphins as Detroit has been a NFC favorite last 2 years and looks at this season as the one to take care of unfinished business. Sitting with star running back duo, Jahmyr Gibbs & David Montgomery, the two-headed monster is setting the tone for the offense to play fast, gritty and compete. In a rare joint appearance, the dynamic tandem opens up to Ryan, Channing and Fred about the pressure, the chemistry, and the unfinished business driving them into the new season. Reflecting on the heartbreak of the last two seasons, including Detroit's near-miss in the NFC Championship and the emotional toll of falling just short of a Super Bowl as Jahmyr opens up on how David was the one who helped get him through the pain of a costly fumble and kept him up in a dark time. Since Jahmyr's rookie year, his explosive playmaking and Montgomery's physicality complement each other and the duo's embraced a “1A/1B” mindset over ego. Under the leadership of a new offensive coordinator,  their game plan may change but the duo said the team is ready to attack opposing defenses with more motion, more versatility, and finding ways to keep both backs involved. Their close relationship with quarterback Jared Goff and how he fits right in with them as the leader of the huddle, and maybe not earning the league-wide respect, but these two tell you exactly why Jared is the right leader for this team. Matching the fire and passion of head Coach Dan Campbell, the locker room has matured into a team that's not just hopeful — but hungry as the cultural shift has transformed Detroit from a punch line to a powerhouse. From laughs to leadership, this episode gives fans a rare, unfiltered look at two stars who aren't just sharing carries — they're sharing the weight of a city's dreams. A few weeks away from kicking off the season, the Lions are roaring to get back to the top of NFC and this year, finish it off bringing home a Lombardi Trophy. Learn more about your ad choices.
