This episode is a reality check on the recent Iran-US deal, where the speaker shares their skepticism about the memorandum of understanding (MoU) reached between the two nations. The agreement, which extends the cease-fire for sixty days, is not a peace treaty, but rather a handshake with a calendar attached to it. The speaker questions whether this deal is a genuine breakthrough or just a temporary reprieve.The conversation delves into the details of the MoU, highlighting the challenges of verifying Iran's nuclear program and the risks of appeasement. The speaker points out that the US has a history of ignoring or appeasing Iran, with both parties owning a piece of the current situation. The administration's theory of leverage, which incentivizes Iran to reach a final agreement, is also discussed.The speaker also touches on the TSA's new program, TSA Gold Plus, which aims to privatize airport security. They express concerns about the potential risks of outsourcing security to private companies and the lack of transparency in the procurement process. The conversation raises questions about accountability and the effectiveness of the program in ensuring passenger safety.To get the full story, listen to this episode and hear the speaker's analysis of the Iran-US deal and the TSA's new program. They'll break down the fine print and explore the implications of these developments, providing a nuanced perspective on the complex issues at play.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Drop us a line or two . . .We open mid-chaos — Queenie's looking out the window at incoming weather and clocking the Belmont Stakes clock ticking down, while TT is recovering from twenty-one (count 'em, twenty-one) unsolicited phone calls from a porch enclosure company after the crime of simply browsing their website. One innocent look at three-season room options, and suddenly her phone is a hostage situation. Queenie sympathizes — she knows the company, they did her mother's enclosure — and confirms: yes, those people are hungry. TT vows never to do that again. From there it's a brief dispatch on Queenie's brother Brian, who's been hospitalized with a nosebleed that became genuinely life-threatening because he's on blood thinners. The dilemma, as Queenie frames it with zero sugarcoating: do you want to die of a heart attack or bleed out? Pick one. His wife's emergency field fix involved a tampon, which bought some time before getting saturated. He's going home with explicit instructions to never blow his nose again. He also looks like Shrek. He has not slept. Everybody is just fine. This slides naturally into the broader theme of everybody around them crumbling simultaneously — friends at doctors multiple times a week for different things, the body not cooperating the way it did at forty, children turning forty themselves (which: how), and the general indignity of midlife maintenance. TT notes to Honey earlier that day that "we all have something going on" and you just have to accept it. Queenie does not love this but cannot argue with it. There's a brief musical interlude celebrating cardiac stents and replacement shoulders, which honestly feels earned. The conversation turns to self-work and therapy — TT wonders aloud whether there are people who just... move on from childhood without any excavation, and Queenie's verdict is swift: those people are freaking crazy. You can usually tell when someone has done the work, she says, often by their vocabulary. This loops into narcissists, which both of them have in their lives, and the grim reality that there's no cure. Options are limited: go dark (no contact) or go grey (cordial, minimal, zero extra effort). The segue to the current political moment is smooth and immediate. Queenie describes the commander in chief as having "normalized" narcissism and brings up the AI-generated Trump-in-cheerleader-short-shorts image circulating online. It's Pride Month, she notes. He may finally be coming out. They laugh. TT reminds them they're laughing all the way to hell. Also: screwworms are back, ocean monitoring equipment is being removed, and there's no oversight of anything anymore. If you see things moving in your food, just ignore it. On the cannabis check-in: TT has had a full ten-milligram Floracal Farms Live Rosin Pink Lemonade sativa gummy (complete gummy, very deliberate), and Queenie has been smoking Banana Punch, a pre-ground indica with very small print on the packaging. Banana as a flavor descriptor is noted to be uncommon. This is deemed worth mentioning. The show's real comedic peak arrives courtesy of Conan O'Brien's podcast. Queenie went down a YouTube rabbit hole after Conan interviewed an intimacy coordinator, which led her to a segment featuring a young man whose company makes thirty-two custom condom sizes and offers a hotline where you can speak to said gentleman if you're unsure which size to order. He claims to be able to tell if callers are being truthful. TT has already seen this. The bit about guidance counselors not recommending "talking about dicks all day" as a career path lands. Queenie's advice: measure twice, not once. You only want to make that mistake one time. They are crying laughing. The news segment covers TSA's updated guidance technically allowing medical marijuana in carry-on and checked bags, with a TSA officer retaining final discretion. Queenie and TT are skeptical — it sounds great until you realize there's no guidance on how much, in what form, or what documentation actually counts as proof. Also: dogs in airports are primarily sniffing for explosives, not drugs, Queenie notes, so don't panic. Bottom line: it's loosey goosey, probably a step in the right direction, and you're still taking a risk. Bring your documentation. Keep original packaging. Maybe don't. TT's Choice (number sixty-six): Would you rather live your life as a reality show or a documentary? TT picks documentary, then has to be walked through what a documentary actually is when she's alive, then sticks with her answer on the grounds that reality shows feel predatory and she wouldn't want to be the subject of one. Queenie's contribution is to narrate TT's life in nature documentary voice — "here we have TT in her natural habitat... notice how she eats a gummy prior to coitus." This evolves into a discussion of rhino mating, specifically the part where the male must remain motionless inside the female for seven minutes without moving or the clock resets. Queenie has recently found this very erotic. She is going to tell Honey. TT's stomach hurts. Queenie names her reality show *Call T*. Done. The Fuck It List this week is a serious one: a friend of Queenie's, a woman their age with significant cardiac history, had her blood pressure medication changed and spent weeks feeling terrible, voicing concern at her hospital stay, being dismissed, and only getting the medication switched back when her primary care physician called the cardiologist directly. Within a day, she felt better. The fuck it goes to not giving up, to trusting your own body, and to having your problems minimized by a medical system that still, somewhere in its bones, operates like doctors are gods you stand up for when they enter the room. Queenie's message: advocate for yourself, and if you can't, find someone who can. The healthcare system is fragmented, it will trample you, and you are the only one who lives in your body. They close out with upcoming weeks — TT's visiting her son's art thing, Queenie has a quiet week plus a golf date before an absolutely packed following week including a tour for a potential new employer. Father's Day is next week. Wishes will be extended then. Bye bye. The outro is a song. TT wrote a lament about a zinnia eaten by a rabbit before it could grow. The final lines are: *those little fuckers. Those little fuckers. This was the zinnia of my dreams.* Truly, no notes.

Sara Weinshenk is back for a completely solo episode of SHENK, joined by producer Lee to break down everything currently taking over her algorithm. Sara tells the story of an awkward encounter with Neal Brennan at Netflix Is A Joke Fest, explains why she's suddenly praying directly to Jesus, and dives into some of the strangest internet stories imaginable. The duo discuss biphasic sleep, talking dogs, AI contact lenses, robot roommates, lab-grown meat, high-speed trains, dream-recording technology, China's forest sleep competition, TSA nightmares, foot-fetish entrepreneurs, conspiracy theories, and why laundry folding might be humanity's greatest challenge. If you've ever wondered what happens when Sara is left alone with her thoughts and a phone full of weird internet content, this episode is for you. #SHENK #SaraWeinshenk #ComedyPodcast #StandUpComedy
In this extensive episode of the Off the Screen basketball podcast, hosts Jordon, Alejandro, Sid, and Michael engage in a passionate, long-form discussion centered around the massive cultural, economic, and analytical storm of the ongoing NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. Michael kicks off the conversation by detailing his firsthand experiences on the ground in a completely transformed New York City, describing the atmosphere as mirroring a massive, city-wide New Year's Eve or Mardi Gras celebration on a standard Monday night. Watch parties are drawing tens of thousands of sports fans and casual viewers alike to public venues like Bryant Park and Central Park, demonstrating how a competitive Knicks team is actively uniting disparate communities across the five boroughs. This immense fandom has translated into an incredible economic windfall, generating an estimated $465 million in local economic activity, though the hosts lament the chaotic local side effects, such as crowded standing-room-only bars and hidden, inflated menu prices resulting in $20 margaritas.The defining spectacle of the series, however, remains the unprecedented logistical nightmare of a sitting U.S. President attending the Finals game at Madison Square Garden. The hosts break down the sheer operational madness this political visit imposed on Manhattan's infrastructure, which sits directly on top of the second busiest transit hub in North America. They discuss TSA-style street checkpoints, rigid bag bans, early building lockouts forcing workers to arrive hours ahead of schedule, and gridlock that completely paralyzed train routes and subway commuter lines connecting Jersey, Long Island, and the northern suburbs. While Sid considers the raw concept of a presidential appearance historic, Jordon brings up De'Aaron Fox's blunt remarks labeling the event a massive public inconvenience. The hosts also comment on courtside "Celebrity Row," highlighting appearances by prominent figures like Michael Bloomberg, Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, and Spike Lee. They share a laugh over a viral moment where Kings guard Jose Alvarado accidentally crashed into billionaire Bloomberg, before pivoting to mock DJ Khaled for aggressively clout-chasing and staring at his mobile phone instead of watching the action.As the podcast shifts into structural hoops analytics, the conversation evolves into a heavy debate regarding high-stakes officiating and coaching philosophy. The group critiques the foul trouble that plagued high-leverage moments in Game 3, criticizing coaching staffs for overly resting star players due to early whistles instead of letting them play through physical defensive stands. They dissect a highly controversial, uncalled push by Victor Wembanyama on Jalen Brunson, noting how a lopsided free-throw margin in the second half ultimately swung the fourth-quarter momentum. Looking at organizational legacies, Jordon raises the stakes by arguing that Wembanyama's historic ceiling gives him a legitimate, long-term opportunity to rival or even eclipse Tim Duncan's legendary Spurs legacy, while also expressing confidence in young coach Mitch Johnson's ability to fill the massive footsteps left by Gregg Popovich. Concluding with concrete predictions, Alejandro admits he initially underestimated the Knicks' true postseason dominance. Ultimately, the crew identifies Karl-Anthony Towns playing at a clear Finals MVP level as the definitive game-changer of the series, before mapping out a final transit warning: Michael desperately hopes the series concludes before a potential Game 6, which directly conflicts with a massive World Cup soccer match (France vs. Senegal) at MetLife Stadium, threatening to completely shut down Penn Station and isolate the city.
Anne Beiler want to support her husband’s business by selling some homemade goods at the local food market. I guess it worked. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients so here’s one of those. [Seaside Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here with Stephen Semple and he whispered the topic in my ear and I don’t really have a clue. Auntie Anne’s- Stephen Semple: Pennsylvania Really? Dave Young: Yeah, I know. Stephen Semple: Pretzels. Dave Young: Remember, I don’t get around much. Auntie Anne’s pretzels. Yeah. And so I have an Auntie Anne. Stephen Semple: Oh, There you go. Dave Young: She’s my oldest living relative right now, and I like pretzels. So take it away. Stephen Semple: Anti-Anne’s is pretty big. They have like 2000 locations, 40 states, 26 countries. They do like 800 million in sales. It’s a bit of a deal. And it’s very homespun in terms of the branding, the showmanship, even the products. And some people consider the founder, Anne Beiler, to be kind of like the first lady of the American food court. Although I don’t know whether that’s really accurate, because we’ve had some other women entrepreneurs who are pretty early on in it. Dave Young: But this is primarily like mall food, food court kind of fare. Stephen Semple: Yes. Yes. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And in 1992 and in 1994, she was named Inc. Magazine’s Entrepreneur of the Year. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: So pretty big deal. And the interesting thing is she was a stay-at-home mom with Amish roots from rural Pennsylvania. Dave Young: Oh, really? Okay. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And what she wanted to do was support her husband’s counseling service. And so, she borrowed $6,000, and she took an empty stall at a local food market, and she was selling drinks and pizzas and these soft pretzels. And really these soft pretzels came from, it was a regional taste that came basically from Pennsylvania’s German heritage. The big soft pretzel is kind of a German, is a German thing. Dave Young: Sure Stephen Semple: because it goes great with beer. Dave Young: Yeah. I concur. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And these soft pretzels, basically you can date them back to the sixth or seventh century in Central Europe, but they remain mostly regional until kind of like the late ’80s, here in North America. Here’s the thing. That was really great about the pretzels that she was selling. She can make them for about seven cents, in terms of the ingredients, and she was selling them for 55 cents. Dave Young: Nice. Stephen Semple: Right. But standing out and figuring out how to display them and whatnot really became the challenge. And she sought to upgrade them, and what she wanted to do was do something beyond kind of that German heritage. And she started doing things like adding sugar and baking powder and more butter. And ultimately she found this way to make them these really buttery, fluffy, decadent, slightly salty, slightly sweet pretzel. So it suddenly evolved away from that German heritage. When she got that recipe right, sales surged. She had a weekend where she sold like $2,000 out of this little stall at a farmer’s market of just the pretzels. Dave Young: That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So then she decided, okay, I’m going to lean into the pretzels. Let’s just do the pretzels. Let’s get rid of everything else, do the pretzels. But what I want to do is kind of create this warm, familiar identity. Dave, you often talk about naming things, right? And that’s when she decided, I’m going to call it Auntie Anne’s, because you know what everybody has? Dave Young: An Auntie Anne. Stephen Semple: An Auntie Anne. Dave Young: Yeah, we do. Stephen Semple: Yeah. It also echoed how her 30 nieces and nephews addressed her. They all addressed her as Auntie Anne. Dave Young: I love that. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So initially she was just doing things in farmer’s markets and then she decided to move into a mall. She thought, okay. She moved into the mall. This was suggested to her by a church friend and it was met with skepticism. She actually had a really hard time getting into a mall. Mall manager really doubted that this single item pretzel stand could cover the rent, and he dismissed the concept. He said, “No way.” But she was pretty determined. She proposed an upfront short term agreement, where she would basically do a three-month lease. “I’ll pay the money upfront. You can kick me out at the end of three months.” So it’s November 1989 and Auntie Anne’s opened some Park City Center in Lancaster. And basically,, they showcase live pretzel twisting and there’s the aroma. So people are seeing people twist the pretzels and they have this really great way that they displayed them and whatnot. Dave Young: Kind of flip them up in the air and let them land, and you do the little knot thing. Stephen Semple: And it was a hit within two years, like so much of a hit, within two years there were a hundred Auntie Anne locations and malls across America. Dave Young: No, that’s fantastic. Stephen Semple: Now here’s the part that I loved. This on skeptical mall manager, his name’s Monte Zanko, eventually became a franchisee. Dave Young: I don’t think this will work. Now I’m interested. Yeah. Stephen Semple: That was probably my favorite part of the whole story. But what I found that was cool about this is, she’s got her farmer’s market thing and she’s selling all sorts of stuff. And what she noticed was, the thing that really made money and sold really well was the pretzels. And then went back and said, “Okay, how do I improve on the pretzels?” Kept working on improving on pretzels and then they really sold like crazy. And if you think about it, this was around the same time that Cinnabon was coming out. So this idea of being able to survive in a mall with a single product was a pretty innovative idea. Dave Young: That’s really cool because that’s not easy. Mall stores, man, unless you have something that’s proven, and you’re going to have to prove it somewhere, she did it there. Stephen Semple: She did it there. And also there’s the whole, showing it being made like it’s that- Dave Young: You’re making an experience, right? It’s not like somebody just reaches under the counter and pulls out a pretzel. Stephen Semple: And again- Dave Young: There’s a show going on. Stephen Semple: Yes. And today that’s a little bit more common, because we’ve got restaurants where there’s seating in the kitchen and things along that line. But in the late ’80s, that wasn’t. And it’s interesting. I attend a course called the Strategic Coach. It’s a quarterly coaching program. It’s created by Dan Sullivan. And one of the things Dan talks about is businesses have a front stage and they have a backstage. So the front stage is the customer experience. What’s the customer see? The backstage, all the support things. And he’s often talking about one of the clever things you can do is, how do you bring elements of your backstage into your front stage so it becomes part of the customer experience. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story, and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: So the front stage is the customer experience. What’s the customer seeing backstage to all the support things? And he’s often talking about one of the clever things you can do is, how do you bring elements of your backstage into your front stage so it becomes part of the customer experience. Now when you do it, you’ve got to add the showmanship. If you’re a pizza place, the person’s got to throw the dough in the air, even if that’s not really the way you do it anymore. If it’s food being chopped, like I love watching these YouTube videos today of these Japanese bartenders who are doing the stuff with the knife and things like that [inaudible 00:10:23]. Dave Young: Oh, yeah. You could have Benihanas or something. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Oh, it’s incredible to watch. So she was, from what I can tell from research, she was like one of the very first because Benihana was just coming on this scene. She was one of the first to embrace this idea of let’s show people how this is being done, which then draws a crowd and also makes people more interested in the product. Dave Young: Well, here’s the thing. It gives us a little story to tell. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Right? I watched them do… You’re going to go tell people that you watched them make these pretzels. Stephen Semple: Oh, next time we’re in the mall, Dave, let’s go by and check it out, right? Dave Young: I’m thinking to myself, okay, you said this is going to be kind of a short episode, but I think we can go someplace with this. Okay? Stephen Semple: Yep. Dave Young: What’s the best pretzel you ever had? Tell me about the best pretzel you ever had. Stephen Semple: Christmas, 1999, Germany. Dave Young: Okay. See, so here’s the thing. That’s the perfect answer. Stephen Semple: Literally at a Christmas thing in Germany, drinking. Dave Young: Here’s why that’s the perfect answer. It’s because there’s a context to it, that it wasn’t at a mall. Stephen Semple: No. Dave Young: Right. It wasn’t one of those. But you can go to the mall and get a pretzel, and relive that Christmas. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: In your mind, you can go, oh, this tastes almost like the one… It’s not quite as good. It’s almost like one. Stephen Semple: Actually not 1999, 2001. Sorry. But, yeah. Dave Young: I equate that to, in the Whiskey Vault at the Whiskey Marketing School at Wizard Academy, you and I wrote songs. And some of you like to talk about all the tastes and weird tasting notes and smelling notes that you get in the whiskey. And for me, it’s always about the story. This is the whiskey that my dad drank, or this is the whiskey that Steve and I shared in Florence, except he’s not taking me to Florence. But I’m saying we could have that memory, but it comes back to the context around the product, or the drink, or the pretzel. And if you can do something that makes somebody remember it. And if you can’t, then you give them the little story, the front of the room, the front stage, the main stage. Is that what did you call it? Stephen Semple: Well, it’s front stage and backstage. You don’t think about it. Dave Young: The front stage and backstage. Stephen Semple: And where this came from, Dan is Dan had a theater background, right? Dave Young: Oh yeah. Stephen Semple: As a producer, you’re sort of familiar with front stage, backstage, but it’s this whole idea of sometimes consciously, consciously bring that backstage into the front stage. And look, we can do it easier than ever before, because I talked to a lot of my clients about social media postings. You’re repairing the roof to the RV, show it being torn apart and rebuilt, and what you’re doing. That’s bringing your backstage into your front stage and people find that stuff interesting. Dave Young: May I share another one? Stephen Semple: Sure. Dave Young: This is something we’re actually doing at Wizard Academy. Stephen Semple: Because these are great ideas for people to think about. Dan believes every business has this opportunity to do this. It’s one of the things that they teach. So anyway, please, please. Yes. Dave Young: So when’s the first time you went to Wizard Academy? Your very first trip. Stephen Semple: I can’t remember the year. It’s funny. I always forget what… I’m terrible at remembering years, but I remember the first time stepping on campus. Absolutely. Dave Young: Yeah. And so we have that in our records. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: All right. And can you name all the times in between? Stephen Semple: No. Dave Young: And, we have that in our records. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Our front stage experience that brings the backstage in, and this is something we just started doing. In fact, I haven’t even worked out really the… It could be time-consuming with the middle to large group is we’ve actually created Wizard Academy Passports. And you get to stamp your passport with all the times you’ve been for each different class, and then we’ll date them and sign them in front of you like you’re at, not the TSA, but the customs office or something. And we make a little ceremony out of it, and celebrate all the times you’ve been. And if it’s your first time, you get your passport, and you get to stamp it and now you take it with you and you’re looking forward to the next one. Stephen Semple: Well, and the thing that’s interesting about that is it makes it also a tactile experience. Dave Young: Oh, absolutely. Yeah. I’ve got a little Kodak printer. So we take a picture of you. It doesn’t have to be a serious picture like a regular passport. Stephen Semple: So one of the things that they don’t do this any longer at the Strategic Coach, what they used to do. So again, talking about tactile experiences and things along that lines, is they had a visioning exercise that they would do and what they would actually do in that moment that they would start the visioning exercise, they would start popping popcorn. Because the whole exercise, like you’re supposed to envision being in a movie theater, watching a movie of your life and things along that lines. Well, nothing brings somebody back to a movie theater than- Dave Young: The smell. Stephen Semple: The smell of Popping popcorn. Dave Young: Yeah, exactly. Stephen Semple: Right? But again, it was like… Now that’s not backstage/ front stage. That’s more like sent recalls and things along that lines. But I just want to add this. This is probably the most important message from all of this. Way too many businesses think what they should do is extend the number of products that they sell. It’s actually easier to become famous for one thing. It’s harder to become famous for many things. And the number of businesses out there, like big businesses, that have tried to extend their brand and have it fail is incredible. So this narrow focus, while initially everybody thought, “That’s crazy,” actually was their success because she could become famous for one thing, the best pretzels. Dave Young: Right. Yeah. I love it. I love it. I’m glad Auntie Anne has seen such wild success. Is it a franchise or is it- Stephen Semple: It is a franchise. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Yep. It’s a franchise. And as I said, they’ve now got like 2000 of them. Dave Young: So you, too, can be Auntie Anne. Stephen Semple: That’s true. You can. You can. Dave Young: Okay. All right. Well, thanks for the Auntie Anne pretzel story. I’m getting kind of hungry sitting here. Stephen Semple: Yeah. There you go. Dave Young: We’ll see you next time. Stephen Semple: All right. And pretzels go great with beer. They go great with beer. Dave Young: Sure. Sure they do. Why wouldn’t we? It’s almost 8:30 in the morning. Stephen Semple: There you are. Dave Young: That sounds like a great breakfast. Stephen Semple: Breakfast of champions. Dave Young: Pretzels and beer. Thanks, Stephen. Stephen Semple: Great. Thanks, David.

President Trump is likely not pleased at having to relive a booing crowd over and over again as the video replays today. He attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden last night and became the first sitting U.S. president at an NBA Finals game. When the arena showed him on the jumbo screens during the national anthem as he gave a military salute, he was met with loud boos from the crowd; the jeers subsided when the U.S. flag appeared and fans cheered the Knicks. Trump watched from Knicks owner James Dolan's suite with guests including his granddaughter Kai, adviser Boris Epshteyn, and several Cabinet officials. His visit prompted heavy Secret Service and NYPD security, perimeter fencing, TSA-style screenings and an early-arrival recommendation for fansr. The outside watch party had to be moved and those fans also joined in the booing of Trump. After the game, Trump said the reaction was “mostly cheers.”We will discuss the fan reaction and whether it's a trivial moment at a sporting event or whether it may be tied deeper to growing discontent with Trump‘s job performance.Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston will join the conversation to talk about what late night host Jimmy Kimmel called the“Trumper Tantrum” over the weekend on NBC's Meet the Press and what appears to be a Trump‘s midterm election strategy… he's back to accusing states of rigging elections.Coachella Valley Coffee Roast Master Cliff Young will stop through to let us know what he's been up to and to bring us word of new additions, and perhap special deals on the very best coffees and teas.

Today's Headlines: Trump's Meet the Press interview derailed when Kristen Welker told him to his face that he lost in 2020, but not before he confirmed on the record that he wants January 6th defendants who assaulted police officers compensated, called them victims of "dirty cops," denied ever promising no new wars, and compared Iran favorably to Vietnam. Coincidentally, a Vietnam veteran filed a lawsuit over the UFC fight night at the White House, arguing it wasn't authorized by Congress and benefits Trump directly since he bought UFC parent company stock while promoting the event, with the Lincoln Memorial scheduled to host fighter weigh-ins, which is a sentence that exists. Trump will also be at the Knicks game inconveniencing everyone with TSA screening and canceled watch parties. On the war beat, Iran fired missiles at Israel for the first time since the April ceasefire, Israel bombed Beirut, oil spiked 3.6%, and Trump responded by calling Fox News to criticize Israel and telling Axios he was phoning Netanyahu because "each of them had their fun" — not the standard framework for analyzing a missile exchange. The May jobs report came in better than expected with 172,000 payrolls added, but markets dipped anyway, prompting Trump to post that "stocks should go up not down, that's the way it was for 200 years," which is not how markets work. And finally, a former Social Security Administration executive blew the whistle on a DOGE-backed plan to mark 2.7 million living people — citizens, permanent residents, teenagers, senior citizens — as dead in federal databases to make life impossible for immigrants and funnel them into Social Security offices where they could be arrested, which didn't go through, though last year officials did successfully file 6,000 people into the Death Master File, some of whom had to physically show up to prove they were alive.

In this episode of the AI at ViVE series on The Beat Podcast, host Sandy Vance welcomes back Peter Horadan, CEO of Vouched, for a fascinating and forward-looking conversation about one of the most consequential shifts happening in digital identity right now. Digital driver's licenses are no longer a curiosity at TSA checkpoints. They are becoming a global standard, and healthcare is one of the industries that stands to benefit most. From eliminating duplicate patient records to defending against deepfake fraud to solving the emerging challenge of AI agent identity verification, Peter lays out a clear and compelling vision for what healthcare identity infrastructure needs to look like in the very near future. If you work in telehealth, healthcare IT, compliance, or patient access, this episode will make you think very differently about something most organizations have never considered a strategic priority. It is believed that about 7% of people in the United States have a digital driver's license today, with estimates reaching 30% adoption by the end of this year and 50% by the end of 2027. If you aren't having conversations for this shift, learn why it matters and how to incorporate it into your patient intake. In this episode, they talk about: Seven US states are currently issuing digital driver's licenses, and over 30 have announced plans to do so California has already issued over two million digital driver's licenses, and the EU mandates adoption across all 27 member nations by the end of this year Digital IDs live in a secure chip on your phone, cannot be copied or forged, and require a live biometric to use Between 5 and 15% of electronic health records either have duplicate records for the same patient or multiple patients sharing one record, and strong identity verification at intake is the fix Vouched dramatically reduces patient drop-off rates at the identity verification step, as evidenced by MyStart Health's 40% net business impact Digital IDs actually enhance privacy because they allow users to share only the specific attributes needed, like confirming age without revealing anything else AI agents are already showing up in healthcare workflows, and healthcare organizations need to think now about how to verify that an agent is trustworthy, authorized by a real patient, and actually who it claims to be Vouched released the MCP-I specification a year ago as an open standard for AI agent identity verification, now adopted by the Decentralized Identity Foundation and expanded under the name KYA-OS By the end of 2026, Vouched predicts 40 to 50% of US adults will have a digital driver's license A Little About Peter: Peter Horadan is the CEO of Vouched, the AI identity verification platform that's transforming how leading Healthcare and Financial Services companies onboard and verify people—instantly and securely. Throughout his career, Peter has led the charge in replacing slow, manual workflows with scalable, automated systems that unlock efficiency, reduce costs, and create measurable impact. From digitizing expense reporting at Concur to streamlining sales tax compliance at Avalara, Peter has helped modernize core business processes across industries. His leadership reflects a deep understanding of how automation can drive growth, compliance, and customer experience at scale. Peter has also held leadership positions at Alavara, Scout Analytics, Microsoft, Corillian, and BEA Systems.
This week I'm talking to Richard Lang about his book 'UAP Incidents First Responders Guide: POLICE - EMS - FD' UFO/UAP Enigma Is Real - Now more than ever it is becoming clear to the general public that UFO/UAP enigma is real. After years of secrecy the truth is finally coming out about vehicles of non-human origin that have visited here, some that have crashed here, and non-human entities both dead and alive that have been recovered. UAP Incident Preparedness for First Responders - Just as officers were once trained in hazardous materials recognition and counterterrorism preparedness, UAP Incident Preparedness will hopefully become a necessary component of public safety operations and training. Law enforcement officers are uniquely vulnerable to UAP encounters due to the isolated and unpredictable nature of patrol work. Therefore, it stands to reason that sheriff's offices, police departments, fire departments and EMS rescue squads would now want their people properly trained to understand this phenomenon, to at least know a little bit about the history of it and most importantly from a personal safety perspective, know what to do and not do if they ever encounter such a situation. Bio Ufologist - Researcher - Investigator - Author - Speaker Richard Lang was an FAA Licensed Commercial Pilot with an Instrument, Multi Engine Rating for over thirty years. He has a bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Studies and an Associate's Degree in Aviation Management from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. Mr. Lang enjoyed a successful career for more than 20 years in the corporate banking world as a Senior Vice President working in Brokerage and the Trust Investment Division of Commercial Banks, which afforded him personal time off and sufficient income to explore a lifelong interest in UFO/UAP research. MUFON STAR TEAM While employed in the corporate banking world during the 1990s, Richard joined the UFO organization known as MUFON and was certified as a Field Investigator; he eventually was appointed as Chief Investigator for MUFON in both Virginia and North Carolina. He was one of the original six members of the elite MUFON STAR team where he functioned as coordinator and the first manager of the team. Virginia Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) Richard attained registration as a Private Investigator and Personal Protection Specialist with DCJS in 2000 and he worked part time for a private investigation firm in Charlottesville doing surveillance and investigation. In 2002, Lang graduated from the Police Academy and certified as a sworn law enforcement officer in Virginia as a Reserve Deputy for the Albemarle County Sheriff's Office, primarily providing volunteer community service on weekends and evenings which he really enjoyed. During this time, he received certification from the Virginia Department of Emergency Services as a Search-Rescue Field Team Leader and was certified as a Weapons of Mass Destruction Responder from the US Department of Justice. Federal Law Enforcement In the post 911 period Mr. Lang left his banking career to serve as a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) at the rank of Sergeant in Virginia airports. He was sworn both on the federal level as Special Deputy for the U.S. Marshals Service and on the state level as a Deputy Sheriff for the County Sheriff's Office. During this time the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was initially created as Congress had mandated extremely high levels of security for USA Airports. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) After serving for approximately a year as a LEO Richard was hired by Homeland Security and assigned to TSA as a Federal Liaison for airport stakeholders responsible for implementing federal procedures and dealing with regulatory initiatives associated with aviation security. This also included responsibility for airlines and airport authorities as well as all law enforcement agencies in Virginia that respond to airports during aviation emergencies. He was a member of the Anti-Terrorist Advisory Council Board (organized by the U.S. Attorney's Office) where he frequently served as key speaker on terrorism at quarterly regional meeting hosted by Homeland Security. http://www.langpublication.com/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GNMK85XR https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast https://simonbown.com/ My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Knicks are playing in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden tonight. The NYPD has ramped up security at MSG due to President Donald Trump attending the game. Watch parties outside of the venue have been canceled, and TSA-styled security checkpoints will be all around the Garden. Restaurants are also preparing for fans to watch the game at 8:30. Construction began for the 2nd Avenue Subway project. It will extend the Q line into Harlem and East Harlem. This comes after the Trump Administration reinstated funding for the project. Governor Hochul said the project is on track for service to begin in 2032. The World Cup kicks off its first game this Thursday with matches at the NYNJ Stadium on Saturday. WFUV's Sonia Weliwitigoda tells where to watch the final championship game. This past weekend, more than a hundred community gardens in New York City opened their gates to the public. WFUV's Livia Regina stopped by some of the gardens in the Bronx to learn about how they act as community spaces.

Lesley Logan 0:01 Fuck yeah. Lesley Logan 0:02 Get ready for some wins. Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:47 Hey, Be It babe, how are you? Welcome to our Friday episode. Oh my God, and on this Friday, it is a special. It's my dad's 74th birthday, so there's that. That's not what this episode's about. So we used to celebrate something inspiring on the internet, but let's be real, the internet's not so inspiring. It usually makes me pissed off at someone's rights we're losing. So we're changing it to something we actually do in our community. So if you're an Agency member, an eLevate member, you know the drill. You are allowed to need a moment. Sometimes you can complain, but you have to immediately have a win. So it's gonna go the thing I need a moment about, then my win, so I don't just vomit on you, or it could be someone else's moment and their win, like Brad's or a friend who says any, and then it's your win. And if you want to need a moment and have a win, you can send that in to beitpod.com/questions. We'll have to change that link, but for now, beitpod.com/questions will allow you to fill out a form, and then we can shout your wins and moments out if you want. But you can't send a moment in without a win, so don't come complaining at me and not have a win. Don't make me come ask for it. I'm just gonna go, not even listening, not here to just take the dump. You got to have both. Lesley Logan 1:56 So, my moment right now is, okay, I am at the airport on this date, and think about this airport. I actually like this airport that I have to fly out of. But what annoys me is that this TSA is different than other TSAs. And how come, in the US, every airport, whether I have TSA PreCheck, Clear, I'm shoved in with the regular people, sorry, people who are regular people, I'm shoved into the regular security, but with a sign that I have TSA. How come it's different? How come sometimes your shoes are on, sometimes your shoes are off, sometimes there's a computer in, sometimes it's not? And then they yell at you like you should know. I'm like, oh, should I take the computer out? No. And it's like, okay, right. But the last airport I was just at yesterday wanted my computer. These are not stupid questions. I'm not an idiot. I can hear you, you know, I'm sure. And here's a, I know your job sucks. We don't pay you when our government doesn't do its fucking work, you know? So I get it, but also, especially if I'm in TSA PreCheck or Clear, I clearly am someone who flies a lot. So treat me a little bit like it's a legit question, that's all I'm saying. And also, is it too much to ask that we're either keeping the shoes on, we're keeping them off, we're putting the computers in the bags, we're taking them out? Just have a sign, then that would be really easy. A lot of the signs they have are outdated, so you're doing what the sign says, and they're like, why are you doing that? It's like, because the sign back there said so. Just pissing me off. Lesley Logan 3:04 My win, since I just got all that out, my win that I'm celebrating, though, is that last month I taught at this really amazing, massive event. I taught the most people I've ever taught in my life in one space. I had the most fun doing it. I got out of my comfort zone in a massive way, a massive way. I stayed up later than I normally ever would, and I had a good time. And I just want to say, this old dog can do new tricks, right? So I'm really celebrating the fact that I've put myself into a situation that was a little bit out of my comfort zone, a lot of it outside of my comfort zone, but in order to spread the word of Pilates, and I got to do it in a big, massive way. And now I'm like, how can I do that all the time? That was a cool stage. I want to do that all the time. So, you never know. The things that scare you are the things that you're supposed to be doing, you know? Lesley Logan 4:09 So, okay, your wins. Leah sent, "My first classical reformer tower combo and Wunda Chair were delivered this week." Cool, Leah, that's so cool. I'm excited for you. Let me know if you have any questions on how to use it. I can't wait to see. If you're an OPC member, send videos of you doing exercises that you're confused on, and I'll give you feedback on that. And then, @justsheilz wrote, "Glad I was able to remain active recovering from three surgical procedures this year." You get that, Shields. You know what? Sometimes we just have health years, right? We just have them, and we have to go, okay, well, what can't I do? All right, thanks for that. And then focus on what you can do, and really lean into that. So, way to go, Shieldz. I'm so grateful for you. I'm also grateful that you join us each and every week on Sundays. Your feedback is wonderful, your questions are great, and your support is lovely. And I know that even though your body might still be recovering from some things, it's learning it, it's hearing it, and it's going to embody it when the time is right. So thank you so much. Lesley Logan 5:08 Okay, send your wins in, guys, because it's fun. Because when you hear it, it's like a month or two after you send it in, and you're probably having a bad day, and you're like, oh gosh, this is annoying. And then you hear your win, and you're like, oh, I had a great day the other day. How cool is that? All right, your mantra. My uniqueness is a beautiful part of me. My uniqueness is a beautiful part of me. My uniqueness is a beautiful part of me. Babe, your uniqueness is a beautiful part of you because, oh my God, if you were the same as everyone else, it would be boring, and you'd still have imposter syndrome. So ditch all those feelings, focus on your uniqueness, because it is a beautiful part of you.

How does a concerned father challenging a school board curriculum wind up facing federal travel scrutiny and an FBI visit? Terry Newsome joins The P.A.S. Report Podcast to expose the terrifying reality of how parental rights, free speech, and political dissent are being targeted by America's label-and-smear machine. In this powerful episode, Terry Newsome, father of twins, Illinois Chapter President of Parents Involved in Education, and host of Behind Enemy Lines, tells his story of being targeted after challenging explicit material in local schools. The conversation breaks down a chilling timeline showing how the Southern Poverty Law Center, activist networks, legacy media outlets, and federal bureaucratic institutions can create a pipeline that intimidates parents, weaponizes labels, and silences ordinary Americans. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Local Catalyst: How Terry Newsome went from an ordinary father to a school board activist fighting for curriculum transparency. The SPLC Smear Machine: How a national ideological organization can turn local parental dissent into an "extremism" narrative. The Federal Fallout: How Terry says the SPLC campaign was followed by TSA PreCheck issues, repeated Quad-S travel screenings, and an FBI visit. The Media Echo Chamber: How legacy media amplification turns NGO hit pieces into public reputational attacks. The Fightback Strategy: What ordinary citizens can do when powerful public-private institutions try to chill free speech. This episode exposes the SPLC machine, the weaponization of government agencies, and the growing danger of allowing unelected ideological organizations to influence law enforcement, shape public narratives, and target parents who refuse to stay quiet.
Episode 543 Nick the Rat crawls out of the Brooklyn sewer for Episode 543 with a deep dive into the oldest obsession in human history — demonology. From ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets and King Solomon's grimoire to Elizabethan spirit mediums and the Loudun possessions, Nick traces 5,000 years of humans trying to make contact with something they don't fully understand. Then he asks the question nobody else is asking: is firing up your AI chatbot really all that different from summoning a demon? Also on tonight's episode — Nick returns from Charlotte, NC with strong opinions about sidewalks and Wells Fargo, roasts the TSA over a $45 Real ID shakedown, and breaks down the United Airlines flight that turned around because someone named their Bluetooth speaker "bomb." Special guest Lilith the demon summoner calls in to share her craft, Mystery Man delivers a truly unhinged Bigfoot story from 1847, Zindu absolutely loses it over professional sports, and Jane Hanoi reports live from the Dark Sewer Network News. Donations, voicemails, and a late-night AI bubble rant round out one of the wildest episodes yet.

Before building an entire real estate portfolio, Matthew Garland was laid off from the TSA. He went from searching for contraband in your suitcase to searching for jobs ASAP. He had no degree, no office job experience, but he was good at connecting with people. He got a job as a loan officer and was making money hand over fist. Then the market crashed, his savings dwindled, his credit score plummeted, and he even got foreclosed on. It was time to build something real. That's when a rich client of his introduced him to the “wealth hack” that helped him rebuild his life through rental properties. Now, you probably know Matthew as MG the Mortgage Guy, sharing as many insider lending secrets as possible so you can buy your next property. In this episode, he's doing the same, telling YOU how to get preapproved now, what you need to get a lender to take you seriously on your first deal, and how he rebuilt his life, one property at a time. If you think you can't build a real estate portfolio because you're starting from zero, MG will show you how to get ahead and into your first deal, even if you feel way behind the starting line. In This Episode We Cover The “wealth hack” of the rich that gets you investment properties with little money down How to rebuild your financial foundation with real estate investing (even if you have little money or low credit) Why you never overleverage yourself and why scaling quickly (probably) isn't worth the stress Four things you need to get preapproved for a mortgage (and what to do if you're missing one or all) When to call a lender: Do you need to have perfect credit before you start?

The crew kicks things off talking about Jimmy Griffin and the impossible task of finding a usable guitar hanging around the station before immediately spiraling into weather complaints because apparently spring in St. Louis lasted somewhere between 11 minutes and a lunch break. One minute everyone's sweating at Pointfest, the next minute they're wearing hoodies and emotionally supporting magnolia trees.Then things get weird.Rafe finally visits a stretch therapy place after years of curiosity and delivers what honestly sounds like an infomercial for becoming human Silly Putty. Hammies stretched. Glutes activated. Coccyx conversations. Theragun deployment. Credit systems nobody understands. It's all here. Lern counters with her upcoming “head spa” experience, which quickly turns into the most suspiciously named relaxation service ever discussed on a daily comedy show.From there, the episode evolves into a full breakdown of normal human experiences that somehow feel deeply embarrassing. Walking out of a store without buying anything. Making eye contact at red lights. Knocking on occupied bathroom doors. Self-checkout paranoia. Running awkwardly when someone holds the door too early. If social anxiety had a group chat, this episode would be pinned at the top.Moon prepares for his London trip while the gang debates TSA marijuana rules, airplane boarding systems, aisle-seat politics, and whether airlines intentionally design boarding to maximize suffering. Meanwhile, King Scott earns furniture-moving credits, Rafe becomes emotionally attached to a vintage couch, and everybody agrees that airplane passengers should probably stop climbing over sleeping strangers like jungle gyms.There's also a discussion about twins confusing people, storage facility chaos, airport dogs, awkward parties, waiting room psychology, and the realization that cars are basically mobile waiting rooms where everyone pretends not to look at each other.Basically: if you enjoy sarcastic humor, weird news, hilarious fails, awkward social observations, celebrity chaos, comedy talk, and the sound of adults emotionally unraveling over everyday life, this episode of The Rizzuto Show is exactly the kind of daily comedy show your brain deserves.And yes… Rafe absolutely wants a billionaire-level personal stretcher now.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear 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.
