What would the ultimate Walt Disney World resort look like if we could mix and match the best features from every Disney resort? In this episode, we're taking on the ultimate Disney Resort Draft Challenge to find out. Using a snake draft format, we each build our dream resort by selecting from categories including location, overall theme, lobby, standard room, pool, quick service restaurant, table service restaurant, lounge, transportation, and recreation. But there are plenty of twists along the way. We each receive a one-time Steal Card that can completely change the outcome of the draft, while a randomly assigned Forced Pick means every resort—even Value and Moderate resorts—has a chance to shine. To keep things balanced, we're also required to include at least one Value Resort selection and one Moderate Resort selection in our final resort. Throughout the draft, we explain the reasoning behind every pick, debate what makes each resort element special, and do our best to convince each other—and you—that our choices create the ultimate Disney vacation destination. Whether you're dreaming about your next stay, planning a future trip, or simply love talking Disney resorts, this episode is packed with strategy, friendly competition, Disney debates, and plenty of opportunities to play along and decide whose resort you'd book first.

Some shows carefully plan every segment.This is not one of those shows.Today's daily comedy show starts with Woody back in St. Louis as the gang relives nearly setting Captain Jim's entire fireworks inventory on fire, accidentally launching explosives toward a trailer packed with even more explosives, and wondering how they somehow got invited back every year.Naturally, that turns into an all-out war over weather apps because apparently your choice between Apple Weather, Google Maps, Waze, and The Weather Channel says everything about your personality. Somewhere during the argument Riz admits he's gaming Waze just to earn imaginary points, Woody questions humanity, and Moon becomes Bing's official spokesperson.Then things somehow get even weirder.The crew debates home ownership versus renting, subscription services invading literally everything, catalytic converter thefts, why landlords secretly deserve medals, and whether calling your landlord to change a light bulb should be considered a crime.From there, the conversation completely derails into horrifying toothbrush habits. Seriously...if your toothbrush looks like it fought in several wars, Lern wants you to know she's apparently one of those people. Dentists everywhere may need a moment after this episode.The laughs keep rolling as Woody shares restaurant recommendations from Pittsburgh, everyone debates St. Louis food loyalties, Rafe discovers Corner 17, and the gang somehow lands on one of the most important questions ever asked:Which restaurant logo would you permanently tattoo on your body for free food for life?There's also plenty of classic Rizz Show chaos involving stolen weather stations, neighborhood conspiracy theories, terrible station vehicles, Emos debates, Joya's love, In-N-Out slander, Shake Shack arguments, and enough sarcastic roasting to remind you exactly why hanging out with these idiots somehow feels like hanging out with your own friends.If you like ridiculous conversations that start somewhere sensible before immediately driving off the nearest cliff, this daily comedy show delivers exactly what you'd expect—and several things you definitely wouldn't.Whether you're listening during your commute, pretending to work, or hiding from your own responsibilities, thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day.And remember...Never trust someone whose toothbrush looks like a frightened peacock.This daily comedy show proudly serves sarcasm, questionable opinions, and absolutely zero meteorological expertise.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.

MusicalTalk continues its exploration of the many and varied ways that war and conflict can be portrayed in the world of musical theatre.  This week, Thos revisits a remarkable piece of verbatim musical theatre (itself a rare and unusual form) created to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, which explored 100 years of the British involvement in battle through the musicalisation of real testimony from actual participants.  And as the video of the show remains viewable on YouTube, it's a musical you can still watch as well as hear all about.

Israel's wars in the Middle East have become a wedge issue in several congressional campaigns, especially in New York, where establishment Democrats are trying to fend off more progressive challengers backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. We discuss the impact Israel's wars are having on these key primary races with The New York Times' Benjamin Oreskes. And, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says President Trump is making up a story that she "begged" him for a photo at the G7 Summit in France last week. The rift could break up one of Trump's closest alliances in Europe. Federiga Bindi, who served as a senior advisor to Italy's then-Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, joins us to discuss what this means for Italy-U.S. relations.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Matt opens the show with a Father's Day recap, a local car show, and a reminder that some classic American cars still turn heads decades later. He then dives into growing concerns around Strategy's Bitcoin financing model, explaining why the company's preferred stock performance matters for its ability to continue accumulating Bitcoin and supporting the broader treasury-company narrative.The episode also explores the escalating battle over stablecoin regulation, from the Bank of England's new framework to the ongoing fight between federal and state oversight in the United States. Matt discusses the tension between state-level competition and national regulatory consistency, while examining new compliance requirements being proposed for stablecoin issuers.Finally, Matt covers the latest crypto security breaches, including exploits affecting Taiko and the JaredFromSubway.eth MEV bot, highlights a Japanese pension fund allocating capital to crypto, and reflects on how the industry's biggest debate may no longer be about Bitcoin itself, but about who controls the financial rails being built around stablecoins and digital assets.Happy Hodling, Everyone.

Recibimos a nuestro querido amigo Pablo Praino (historietista, animador, docente) para hablar de dos cosas de las que sabe mucho: hombres araña y amos del universo. Primero, hacemos la RE: seña de Spider-Noir, la serie de un Spider-Man venido a menos y devenido en detective privado durante la Gran Depresión, encarnado por un descollante Nicolas Cage. Después, por fin toca una adaptación fiel a He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (aunque no pueden usar el nombre He-Man en el título), que ha dejado conforme a casi todos los que la vieron... que lamentablemente, no parecen ser muchos. Con música de KIRBY, Gustavo Cerati, Daniel Pemberton & Brian May, y The Reagan Years (interpretando a Frankie Goes To Hollywood).

In April 1989, a newspaper clipping about an art exhibit landed in the mailbox of the Rev. Donald Wildmon, the founder of a conservative evangelical group, the American Family Association. Partly funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the exhibit included a now-infamous photograph by Andres Serrano that showed a crucifix submerged in Serrano's own urine. Incensed, Wildmon sent a copy of the photo to every member of Congress, setting off a battle led by the Christian right over what contemporary art could be and who should receive federal funding for it. Isaac Butler, an author and cultural historian, walks through this and other pivotal moments in the culture wars of the 1980s and 1990s in his new book, “The Perfect Moment: God, Sex, Art and the Birth of America's Culture Wars.” Butler spoke to the Book Review's editor, Gilbert Cruz, about how these fights unfolded and what they meant for the artists themselves. He sat down to write the book, he said, when “it really felt like the culture wars of the '80s and '90s that I grew up in were repeating again.” Books and plays discussed on this episode: “The Perfect Moment: God, Sex, Art and the Birth of America's Culture Wars,” by Isaac Butler “Measure for Measure,” by William Shakespeare “Transgressions: The Offences of Art,” by Anthony Julius “It Was Vulgar and It Was Beautiful: How AIDS Activists Used Art to Fight a Pandemic,” by Jack Lowery “The Devil Finds Work,” by James Baldwin “Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz,” by Cynthia Carr “Elia Kazan: A Life,” by Elia Kazan “Fear No Pharaoh: American Jews, the Civil War and the Fight to End Slavery,” by Richard Kreitner “The Kindness of Strangers,” by Salka Viertel “The Talmud: A Biography,” by Barry Scott Wimpfheimer “My Last Sigh,” by Luis Buñuel Listen to and Follow ‘The Book Review' Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | YouTube | iHeartRadio Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts, and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

The Guardian's chief culture writer, Charlotte Higgins, on the citizens risking their lives to salvage Ukraine's cultural heritage. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

From ancient Athens to 21st-century America, the rhetoric is the same. When "the dogs of war" are set loose, there is a cascade of jingoistic platitudes and cliches. We want peace. When we fight a war, it is just. We are good. The enemy is evil. We are victims seeking justice. We are making the world safe for democracy. And if they were honest, they'd add, We are making the world safe for lexical and moral hypocrisy. Erasmus, the great 16th-century philosopher monk, said of war, "There is nothing more wicked, more disastrous, more widely destructive, more loathsome." He then added that war was useful to a government, for it enabled it to extend its power over citizens. Erasmus warned that "Once war has been declared, then all the affairs of the State are at the mercy of the appetites of a few."

Kathleen Harriman was there at the center of it all, at Churchill's side in the Blitz, in Stalin's Moscow, at Yalta, and somehow history almost forgot her.

Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (6.16) In this episode, we’re cracking open a wild mix of neighborhood drama, fast-food shakeups, safety reminders, and viral pop-culture chaos. First, residents in an Encino neighborhood say they are fed up with suspicious activity at a nearby home they believe may be used by influencers and content creators filming for OnlyFans. Neighbors claim they have seen scantily clad women in the front yard, litter in the streets, and alcohol cans left behind — including BuzzBallz, the viral ready-to-drink cocktails packing 15% alcohol with flavors like Lotta Colada. Then it’s time for our Fast-Food Update. KFC is rolling out a massive global revamp with a focus on boneless chicken, more than 20 new sauces, next-generation restaurant designs, and a modernized Colonel Sanders logo. The famous red chicken buckets are getting a fresh new look as KFC tries to bring chicken closer to its chicken-loving peers. We also talk about a simple but serious safety reminder: stop wearing all black when walking around after sunset. It may look cool, but it can be extremely dangerous for drivers trying to see pedestrians at night. Next, we break down the big Pizza Hut business shakeup, with reports of Yum! Brands selling Pizza Hut in major transactions. As restaurant prices keep climbing, one thing is clear: pizza is not as affordable as it used to be. And finally, why are kids between 10 and 20 being called the “Lime Generation”? Gen Z and Gen Alpha are colliding with memes, viral aesthetics, Skittles colors, and internet culture. Plus, the Knicks are dominating the tattoo space as emotional fans turn big sports moments into permanent ink.

We continue our Resort Wars series with a showdown between two EPCOT-area favorites: Disney's BoardWalk Inn and the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve. Both resorts offer incredible access to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios, but they deliver completely different vacation experiences. BoardWalk Inn immerses guests in the charm and nostalgia of a turn-of-the-century Atlantic City boardwalk, complete with lively entertainment, unique dining, and one of the most iconic atmospheres at Walt Disney World. Meanwhile, Swan Reserve offers a more modern and luxurious approach, featuring some of the newest rooms on property, spacious family suites, and access to the extensive amenities, pools, and dining options of the Swan and Dolphin resorts. Throughout the episode, we compare the two resorts across seven categories, including theming and atmosphere, rooms and comfort, dining and drinks, transportation and location, recreation and amenities, value for money, and listener feedback. We discuss everything from the magic of strolling the BoardWalk at night and grabbing a drink at AbracadaBar to the benefits of staying in a sleek, contemporary room just steps from EPCOT. Will Disney's immersive storytelling and unmatched atmosphere help BoardWalk Inn secure the victory? Or will Swan Reserve's modern accommodations, impressive amenities, and strong value proposition prove too much to overcome? Whether you're planning your next Walt Disney World vacation or trying to decide where to stay for an upcoming trip, this episode will help you determine which of these popular Crescent Lake resorts is the better fit for your travel style.

WarRoom Battleground EP 1030: GIDEON ROSE, Author Of How Wars End, Explains His Thesis “Similar Wars End In Similar Ways”

Today's episode starts exactly where every responsible adult conversation should: arguing about soap. Not just any soap—man soap. The gang dives headfirst into a surprisingly passionate debate about Dr. Squatch, exfoliating gravel bars, suspiciously delicious-sounding soap scents, and whether smelling aggressively clean is actually a good thing. Somehow, this spirals into discussions about farmer's market soap, Bigfoot marketing, and the lengths men will go to avoid using the word "exfoliate."Then things get serious... sort of.A listener writes in with a family dilemma after her boyfriend receives an unexpected work bonus. Should they save the money for their future, start a college fund, or take their five-year-old to Disney World right now? The crew debates memories versus money, experiences versus savings accounts, and whether a five-year-old is even going to remember spending thousands of dollars chasing Mickey Mouse around Florida. The results? Surprisingly thoughtful advice mixed with the usual chaos.Speaking of questionable life decisions, the crew reacts to the wild story of a family stranded 120 feet in the air on the SkyScreamer ride at Six Flags St. Louis. Three hours. A storm rolling in. Zero chance Moon would ever get on that ride again. The gang breaks down the rescue operation, amusement park nightmares, and somehow ends up discussing roller coaster accidents, rescue blankets, and surviving things that absolutely sound unsurvivable.As if that wasn't enough, social media's latest trend enters the chat: Tan Maxxing. Yes, apparently people are intentionally chasing the deepest tan possible while documenting every minute of it online. The crew dives into tanning bed memories, spray tan horror stories, suspicious tanning lotions, and revisits one of the most legendary moments in Rizz history: the time Rizz spray-tanned himself into another dimension.You'll also hear stories about Hot or Not ratings from the early internet days, bizarre beauty trends, celebrity-level tanning mistakes, window-seat radiation fears, Six Flags identity crises, and enough random side quests to make GPS navigation give up entirely.This episode is a perfect example of why this daily comedy show somehow survives every day despite itself. One minute we're discussing family finances, the next we're debating whether Six Flags could successfully pretend to be Disney World for a five-year-old. Logic is optional. Laughs are mandatory.If you love a daily comedy show filled with ridiculous stories, unexpected debates, and a group of friends who can turn literally any topic into a disaster, this episode delivers.Thanks for listening to another daily comedy show from The Rizzuto Show.

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report On today's program: Elon Musk is set to become the world's first billionaire as Space X launches its initial public offer today. A More Perfect Union explains how this sketchy IPO could destroy many people's 401(K) accounts. Heather 'Digby' Parton, columnist at Salon and publisher of the Hullabaloo blog, joins to recap the week's news. Topics include the war in Iran, midterm elections and more. In the Fun Half: CNN airs a compilation showing the 39 times that Donald Trump claimed that we a deal with Iran is imminent. Trillionaires Trump is now claiming that Strait of Hormuz has been open the whole time, but we just didn't know it because it was a secret. Shhhhh don't tell the Ayatollah. Department of Energy secretary Chris Wright admits under oath that he lied when he tweeted that the U.S. had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz back in March. That kind of conflicts with Trump's claim that the strait has been open. Elissa Slotkin issues a press release stating that she believes that Michael Martin, a Trump pick for a U.S. district court, would be different from the president's other picks in that he will admit that Biden won the election in 2020 and that January 6 was an attack on the Capitol. Unfortunately for Slotkin, Martin answered those questions in the exact same fashion as all of Trump's other sycophantic nominees. Marco Rubio cites three examples of what make America so unique; our constitution, the moon landing and the UFC. We take a trip back to 2018 to watch Susan Collins on CNN promising that Bret Kavanaugh would not overturn Roe v Wade. All that and more.
