Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Sage Steele about the backlash she faced after criticizing anti-Trump airport protests and political activism in sports; why she believes ESPN and the NBA became increasingly politicized; leaving ESPN after nearly 30 years and why she doesn't miss sports broadcasting; behind-the-scenes stories involving Steve Kerr, Doc Rivers, and outspoken coaches; her thoughts on Victor Wembanyama, Jalen Brunson, and the NBA; receiving lengthy anti-Trump messages from a legendary sports figure and the rise of Trump Derangement Syndrome; the importance of diversity of thought and open dialogue; how her faith, family, and perspective helped her overcome divorce, the ESPN lawsuit, and career turmoil; the lifelong lesson of choosing the "harder right instead of the easier wrong"; why standing up to ESPN and Disney over COVID vaccine mandates was the toughest but the right decision; the pitfalls of DEI, identity politics, and being judged for her race and conservative views; why people should reject labels, trust their convictions; and much more.

It's like Kevin Bacon, except instead of finding an actor, they're trying to find a Republican within six steps of somebody who said something stupid. And congratulations, CNN has done it again. I'm reading this headline from Mediaite: “GOP Senate Candidate Ends Press Conference After Dodging Questions About Son-In-Law's White Nationalist Posts.” Now stop right there. Notice the construction of that headline. Not “Republican candidate promotes white nationalism.” Not “Republican candidate makes antisemitic comments.” No. It's the son-in-law. The man married to his daughter. Now, let me say something very clearly. If somebody in my family said something hateful, I would absolutely have a conversation with them. I would tell them they're wrong. I would tell them why they're wrong. But am I responsible for every thought that comes out of every adult relative's mouth? Apparently, according to the modern Left, I am. This is where politics has become a bizarre family reunion where everybody is held responsible for the weird uncle sitting in the corner eating potato salad and talking about aliens. And here's the thing: if the standard is guilt by association, then nobody survives. Nobody. Not Democrats. Not Republicans. Nobody. But that's not really the standard, is it? The standard is selective outrage. The media doesn't ask, “What happened?” They ask, “How can we connect this person to something embarrassing?” And that's dangerous because eventually you destroy the idea that people are individuals. We are not our neighbor. We are not our spouse. We are not our cousin. We are not our crazy uncle. And yes, sometimes people in our own families disappoint us. Welcome to humanity. Now, should we know more about this situation? Absolutely. Should the candidate answer questions? Sure. But let's not pretend we suddenly discovered moral responsibility because someone has the wrong last name attached. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Daily Soap Opera Spoilers by Soap Dirt (GH, Y&R, B&B, and DOOL)
Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Days of Our Lives spoilers divulge that Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) discovered that Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), on the run, is living in fear of her brother, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). The enigmatic Kristen, disguised as Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk), paid a visit to her daughter, Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote), but was caught by Brady. Kristen revealed her flight was due to EJ, but left out critical details, leaving Brady in the dark and concerned for her safety. DOOL spoilers add to the mystery as EJ shared with Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) that Kristen had plotted to have him killed using Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) as a pawn. This revelation, pitting family members against each other, left Johnny shocked and underlined the danger Kristen poses to those around her. Spoilers for Days of our Lives indicate that Brady and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) are digging into EJ's Coriseal cover-up. Brady, unsure about Kristen's cryptic behavior and aware of her criminal tendencies, might learn the truth from Johnny. The revelation could shake him to his core, leaving him torn between family loyalty and doing the right thing. The looming question remains if Brady will manage to uncover Kristen's plot in time, or if she will continue her dangerous game, threatening the lives of those she claims to love.

The Nice Guy and the jerk are doing the exact same thing. Same shame, different mask. This is part one of a five-part week with Dr. Robert Glover, best-selling author of No More Mr. Nice Guy, and we start at the root. Glover argues nice guy syndrome has almost nothing to do with being polite. It comes from a belief formed before you could speak, that something is wrong with you, and it shows up as a set of hidden deals you make with the people around you: I'll do this for you, so you owe me that. FREE THIS WEEK: We built a companion field guide for the whole series. It's the main points from every episode plus copy-and-paste prompts you can drop into ChatGPT or your journal to actually do the work. Grab it at frontrowdads.com/niceguy. IN THIS EPISODE: - Why the nice guy and the jerk are driven by the same thing, and why your first boundaries make you swing into being a jerk - The two types of nice guys: the "I'm so good" and the "I'm so bad" - The night his wife read him a book about shame and told him it was him - What shame actually is: an inaccurately internalized belief you formed before you had words - The dessert he ate that he didn't want, and the door he held that wasn't kindness - The three covert contracts, and how they quietly turn into resentment and rage This is part 1 of 5. Coming this week: boundaries for men, decoding your wife's emotional statements, brotherhood and male isolation, and attracting the feminine as a married man. Hear Glover's full conversation at frontrowdads.com/444. His book is No More Mr. Nice Guy.

Senator Mark Kelly talks with Jen Psaki about Donald Trump's deeply unpopular war against Iran and the effort the Trump administration is putting into covering up and spinning the truth even though the war and its effects are apparent to any American paying attention. Terry Moran, former ABC News anchor, talks with Jen about Donald Trump's war on the media and a new low in his intimidation tactics.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we dig into the Nike controversy that lit up Boston Marathon week after a storefront sign declared, “Runners welcome. Walkers tolerated.” What might have looked to some like a careless joke felt to many runners like a flashing neon sign for a much deeper problem in the sport: elitism. We break down why that message landed so badly, especially in a city like Boston, where resilience, adaptation, and the full spectrum of the running community should matter. We talk about why walking is not the opposite of running, but often a very real part of racing, surviving, and finishing. From back-of-the-pack runners to run-walkers, charity entrants, adaptive athletes, and everyday marathoners, this episode is about who gets welcomed in running culture and who gets merely “tolerated.” We also dive into the reaction from our own social media post, where the comments revealed a sharp divide between people pushing for inclusion and others who doubled down on gatekeeping. Some responses were thoughtful, some were supportive, and some said the quiet part out loud about how certain corners of the running world really view slower runners. We also zoom out and talk about why Nike did not get much benefit of the doubt here, given the brand's long history of tone-deaf decisions and controversies. This is not an episode about canceling a company just because it got called out. It is an episode about respect, belonging, and why the soul of this sport has always lived in the full field, not just at the front of it.
In this episode, we talk about one of the most polarizing topics for many breeders: outcrossing. Is it a powerful tool to refresh a bloodline, or a fast track to genetic chaos? From hybrid vigor and genetic diversity to the loss of breed identity and the dangers of scatter breeding, we break down the pros and cons of outcrossing in clear, practical terms. Whether you're a seasoned breeder or just getting started, this episode offers a no-nonsense look at what outcrossing really does to your birds, and your breeding program. We explore: Why breeders turn to outcrossing (and when it works) The hidden risks that can undo decades of selection How to outcross responsibly, if at all Why line-breeding and selection still reign supreme Outcrossing isn't a magic bullet. It's a high-stakes strategy that demands precision, planning, and purpose. If you're serious about building a consistent, high-quality strain, not just chasing quick fixes, this is the episode you can't afford to miss. Tune in and learn why the best breeders don't just breed birds… they build legacies. #OutcrossingDebate #BreedingStrategy #GeneticDiversity #HybridVigor #LineBreeding #SelectiveBreeding #BreederMindset #PoultryBreeding #GeneticsInBreeding #BreedingProgram #BloodlineManagement #BuildYourStrain Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

This episode is for chiropractors running a small chiropractic practice who are tired of being told that ranking #1 on Google is as simple as following a basic checklist. Jerry Kennedy reveals the "ugly truth" that many marketing agencies won't say out loud: in some markets, dominated by established practices, traditional chiropractic SEO might actually be a money pit. Many owners of a small healthcare business fall into the trap of spending thousands on SEO packages without understanding the competitive ecosystem they exist in. This conversation breaks down the three pillars of trust—relevance, proximity, and prominence—and provides a "quick and dirty" way to assess if your chiropractic business is actually in a position to benefit from search optimization right now. Core Principles & Decision Lenses The Trust Metric: Understanding that ranking in Google or AI is not about "tricks," but about building long-term trust through data. Relevance and Proximity: Why being the right answer and the closest answer are the "easy" parts of getting found on Google as a chiropractor. The Prominence Gap: How established practices with hundreds of reviews create a "moat" that can make it nearly impossible for a solo chiropractor to rank in the short term. Review Assessments: Using a "75% rule" to determine if you have enough social proof to make an investment in local SEO for chiropractors worthwhile. Foundational vs. Premium SEO: Distinguishing between the essential code on your chiropractor website and the expensive "up-level" services that may not be necessary yet. Next Step Don't throw your last $1,000 at SEO if you aren't ready to compete. Instead, focus on the "free stuff" like building a review culture and earning local backlinks.

Bhavin Shukla: Why Scrum Master Success Means Confronting the Ugly Truth With Data Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "Success is not always good vibes, good environment for us as Scrum Masters. For me, it's about confronting the reality, the ugly truth, which takes the team to tougher conversations, more constructive challenges." - Bhavin Shukla Bhavin shares a pivotal moment in his career that redefined what success means for a Scrum Master. He was working with a fantastic team — great culture, people who believed in quality, knowledge sharing, strong bonds. But sprint goals weren't being met, and stakeholders were constantly chasing the Product Owner and Scrum Master for answers. Bhavin got his hands dirty with the data: lack of clarity on work, context switching, patterns emerging. When he presented the data to the team, he was met with silence — a confronting kind of silence. The team was essentially saying, "We were happy. Why would you do this to us?" Bhavin's response was direct: going for coffees and laughing together isn't the whole job. If he wasn't showing them reality, he couldn't look at himself in the mirror. The team eventually used that data to raise their own voice, pointing out systemic issues with external vendors and organizational constraints. The data gave them a platform to speak truth — not as blame, but as discovery. Self-reflection Question: What conversations did you avoid this week that could have unlocked progress for your team? Are you bringing data to those conversations, or relying on vibes? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Newspaper Headline Retrospective Bhavin shares an unconventional use of the newspaper headline technique — typically used for roadmaps and vision — as a retrospective format. The idea is simple but powerful: ask the team to write the newspaper headline they want to see about themselves. What would the story say when they succeed? By authoring their own headline, the team takes ownership of the narrative — they define what success looks like, what must go right, and what risks could derail them. "Putting them in that newspaper headline, they authored the story. They own the accountability to make it successful," Bhavin explains. He also shares a second technique for Kanban teams under pressure: a rolling two-column whiteboard — "Frustration of the Day" and "Success of the Day" — with no meetings required, just real-time data capture that becomes a continuous retrospective, reviewed every 2-3 weeks.

Iurie Roșca discusses the deceptive nature of modern geopolitics, arguing that both East and West are controlled by the same globalist interests, suggesting that the apparent conflict between them is a distraction. He specifically critiques the multipolarity movement, claiming that entities like the Eurasian Union are merely carbon copies of the European Union’s technocratic model. The conversation highlights how alternative media figures and intellectuals are often co-opted or funded by these power centers to promote specific narratives. Roșca describes his personal experience with state censorship, legal persecution, and “civic death” resulting from his refusal to align with either side. Ultimately, he emphasizes the necessity of Christian spiritual resistance against what Roșca identifies as an encroaching digital tyranny.

An ironic fixation on America's upcoming 250th celebration of independence from an oppressive monarchy that overtaxed its people has led to the announcement of various projects like, "The Patriot Games", and yes, it's similar to The Hunger Games but without the style or literacy. Also, discussing the scandalously accurate Vanity Fair article and photos, new burn book-esque plaques lining a cheaply gilded White House walkway, military funds getting rebranded "Warrior Dividends", and how tariffs continue to get more undeserved hype than a nepo baby. Plus, updates on ICE's continued illegal actions, a haunting nuclear mystery, retaliation from the CDC, the progression of censorship and state-run media, and a dedication to destroying the planet in ignorant bliss. All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.
