In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the White House's "Promises Made, Promises Kept" push, including a new deal bringing $20 billion in pharmaceutical manufacturing back to US soil and record-high asylum denial rates as immigration courts race to clear a massive backlog. Bryan covers a batch of "Head-Scratcher" stories from Democrat-run states, including Washington inmates convicted of child rape suing for better trans medical care, Virginia's Fairfax County releasing illegal aliens accused of child sex crimes back onto the street, and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani mourning a convicted murderer's death at Rikers Island while ignoring his victims. He also breaks down House Democrats' furious reaction to a resolution condemning socialism. Plus, Bryan covers President Trump's renewed call for Iranians to rise up against the regime as Tehran fires missiles at Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, and Bahrain, Spain's Prime Minister blaming Russia and Israel for the Moroccan invasion of Ceuta, a German welfare scam run by Syrian migrant clans, and fresh US and Australian investment in Pacific Island nations to counter China.

Besalynn Mary James was 62 years old when she disappeared from her home on the Lummi Nation reservation in January 2025. Her boyfriend told police she left at 2 AM to go for a walk in freezing temperatures. After she didn't return, it took four days for him to report her missing. What her sister found when she went to check on Besalynn's dogs didn't match his story. The clothes he said Besalynn was wearing were still inside the trailer.In this episode, we walk through the timeline of Besalynn's disappearance, the contradictions in her boyfriend's account, the complicated jurisdictional reality of investigating a major crime on tribal land, and the systemic crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people. We also look at what Washington State has built in response to that crisis, and what it still hasn't been able to deliver to Besalynn's family: answers.As of the time of this recording, Terry Bowman remains an uncharged person of interest. The FBI's Seattle Field Office continues to actively investigate. If you have information about Besalynn's disappearance, contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov, or call the Lummi Nation Police Department at 360-312-2274.Visit our website!

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke this week with Cougfan.com's main beat writer covering Washington State football, Jamey Vinnick. Vinnick was gracious with his time talking about what he's seen in person from very much a new-look WSU football program from the top down.First, how has new head coach Kirby Moore settled in to the job at WSU? What makes him ideally suited for success on the Palouse? What is their style of offense? How much will Moore take from the coaches he's been connected with, like former UW Head Coaches Chris Petersen and Kalen DeBoer?Vinnick also broke down the quarterback battle and what Caden Pinnick did to win it, as well as talking about the players Pinnick will rely on to help move the ball and the linemen up front the Huskies will face.Moving to the defense, what has Vinnick seen from new DC Trent Bray and what style of defense will the Huskies square up against? Who are the key players the Cougars will be counting on to try and limit Demond Williams and the Huskies' offense?And lastly, Vinnick breaks down WSU's special teams and how confident would they be with their specialists when it came time to win the Apple Cup late? And what are a couple of keys for him from the Crimson and Gray perspective to determine the outcome of the game?

The Department of Justice has sued Washington State for handing undocumented immigrants in-state tuition rates and financial aid at public universities — while American citizens from out of state pay full price. UW, Washington State University, and Western Washington University are all named as defendants in the federal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle.Washington has been running this policy for decades. Students in the country illegally get resident pricing and grants that a U.S. citizen from California or Idaho simply cannot access. Sean breaks down the numbers — the gap between in-state and out-of-state rates at UW and Western is substantial — and why this isn't just unfair policy. It's a direct violation of federal law, and 21 other states are watching how Washington tries to defend it.The state AG is already calling it politically motivated. Sean isn't buying it. Federal law supersedes state law, full stop. Washington didn't carve out a moral exception — it decided the rules didn't apply up in the upper-left corner of the map. The DOJ is here to correct that assumption.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode.#NFRP #WashingtonState #DOJGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Looks like we get to talk about another disappointing Mariners loss. This team can't get on the same page and they keep finding new ways to lose games, despite putting up 8 runs last night. Is it over? :30- Mariners Morning After When the pitching performs, the offense struggles and vice versa and last night was another example of that as the Mariners fell to the Red Sox 9-8 in 10 innings. :45- Apple Cup is coming up on Sunday and in this new era of college football, it's certainly not the same rivalry we grew up watching. Can the tradition continue or will it al victim to the new path college football is taking? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's poem is Visitor's Center by T Bambrick.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Myka Kielbon writes… “Today's poem takes me back to a specificity of a Washington State public school education: learning the intricacies of salmon, sturgeon, dams, ecology, and electricity. What I didn't see then, that I see now, is the tension between control and appreciation of the natural world. That our modern lives rely on a system built by lionizing the will of man. The speaker, here, wonders: At what cost?” This show is supported by gifts from listeners. Support The Slowdown with a donation today. Slowdownshow.org/donate

Tonight I will be speaking to Derek Condit, an author, researcher, psychic intuitive, inventor, U.S. Army veteran, and former Washington State correctional officer. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Derek explores the fascinating intersection of documented history, eyewitness testimony, unexplained phenomena, folklore, and personal experience. His work examines the stories and events that challenge our understanding of the world around us. Derek is the creator of The Triangle Series, a collection of books investigating regions associated with unusual activity including UFO encounters, Bigfoot and cryptid sightings, paranormal experiences, unexplained lights, historic mysteries, and other events that defy easy explanation. His approach is open minded and story-driven. Rather than dismissing experiences simply because they fall outside conventional understanding, Derek allows witnesses to share their stories and examines the possibilities surrounding what they encountered. His interest in the unexplained is also deeply personal. Derek has experienced unexplained phenomena firsthand, including a Bigfoot encounter in Washington State. As Derek explains: "My connection to these subjects is also deeply personal. Both my 87-year-old father, a former NSA agent, and I have had our own Bigfoot encounters. Mine occurred in Washington State, while his took place in Northern California." Derek's 16 years as a Washington State correctional officer also provided him with numerous unusual experiences. Some occurred inside the Washington State Reformatory, while others took place during night-shift assignments outside the prison. These firsthand encounters, combined with years of research, have shaped Derek's unique perspective on the unexplained.   Cosmic Shungite: https://www.CosmicShungite.com Bigfoot's Gems: https://www.BigfootsGems.com  

Get the “Flock” out of here!With the recent spree of vandalism locally and nationwide that has affected FLOCK surveillance cameras, we delve inside the growing vigilante movement to knock out these Automated License Plate Readers.Tonight, on this explosive, investigative, informative brand-new episode of Light ‘Em Up — like an intense laser beam, we're focusing on Flock Automated License Plate Reading Cameras and this AI-driven technology.  The industry, for short refers to them as ALPRs.It seems like Flock Automatic License Plate Reader Cams are everywhere, on every street and corner.   Big brother is certainly watching you and there doesn't seem to be a damned thing you can do about it!Flock Safety's automated license plate-reading cameras, used by thousands of law enforcement agencies in the U.S., have drawn intense criticism from concerned citizens and civil liberties groups, among others.Are they an unlawful, unconstitutional invasion of your privacy?Can you have and expect any expectation of privacy while you are in public? The argument rages on.Flock Safety is a private company based in Atlanta, GA valued at $8bn that supplies the lion's share of the license plate-reading cameras used by law enforcement departments across the nation.Law enforcement agencies have embraced them, but police departments are not the only customers. College campuses and homeowner's associations have also put up the cameras.More municipalities, both large and small, are budgeting for them. More than 7,000 organizations in the United States have contracts with Flock Safety, according to the company.The proliferation of Flock cameras has divided the public and rattled civil liberties watchdogs.The ACLU argues that the extensive network:—                 constitutes mass surveillance,—                 raises privacy concerns regarding tracking daily habits,—                 and can be used to track people attending protests or religious institutions.How do you feel about your every move being watched and surveilled by the government?Does this fact stress you out or perhaps make you feel anxious?Or do these cameras provide you with a heightened sense of physical safety and security?—                 Do you think these cameras offer any significant crime reduction?—                 Do you feel unease from a loss of privacy?We want to know … you can email us at prizzo7778@gmail.comTell us exactly how you feel about the Automatic License Plate Reader Cameras taking your picture EVERY time you drive down the street:—                 Do you even notice?—                 Do you care?Some say the cameras are a valuable tool to help catch criminals and senior citizens when they wander away from their homes, while critics argue that the information they collect can be misused by the government or rogue law enforcement officers.Several law enforcement officers have been disciplined for misusing data from Flock's cameras, including an officer in Milwaukee who was criminally charged after using camera data to track someone he was dating and the person's ex.We'll examine what the Supreme Court has said about this.—                 Does the government throw a too large and too wide of a dragnet … considering EVERY person to be a suspect?That isn't how the U.S. Constitution works, and it doesn't permit that, either.All people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and an officer must possess a reasonable, articulable suspicion of a specific crime that has been committed to briefly stop or detain a person. That kind of stop is referred to as a Terry Stop.We'll examine exactly what Flock cameras are:We'll share with you why they've come under such public fire as they produce a treasure-trove of highly sophisticated surveillance records instantly. Sure, proponents say this helps prevent crime, opponents say the information can be dangerous in the wrong hands and are the tools of tyranny and control.That criticism has intensified as the Trump administration has carried out immigration crackdowns across the nation, fueling concerns about clients sharing license plate information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agencies.In Washington State, at least seven police departments and one sheriff's office had granted access to the U.S. Border Patrol to their license plate reader networks in 2025, according to an analysis by the University of Washington. An audit by the city of Columbus, Ohio, found that its Flock data had been searched more than 15,000 times for potential immigration-related purposes since 2024.Since the company's inception in 2017, many municipalities have added the popular technology, however as of late more communities have either deactivated the cameras or canceled their contracts with ALPR suppliers because of complaints about mass surveillance and what critics have called a lack of guardrails over who can access the information.This technology is testing the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures, in ways the constitutional framers could never have anticipated.You can register for Flock Safety's SafeList here: How Flock's SafeList Removes Your Car From Camera SearchesFrequently Asked Questions | Flock SafetyListen to our first episode on this topic, here.We speak the truth, protect the vulnerable and always pursue justice.Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - watched Thursday's practice and then had a chance to offer up their thoughts on what they saw and how the Washington Huskies are shaping up heading into game week.We're 10 days away from the Huskies taking on cross-state rivals Washington State in the Apple Cup, and right now the guys got to see a team that is in the final phases of getting the foundation laid before game week hits. And that means detail to game situations, substitutions, specific special teams moments, etc... that are all the final pieces to the overall puzzle the Huskies are trying to solve.Depth charts are emerging on both sides of the ball, the team has stayed pretty healthy all things considered, and now it's getting very close to playing some football against someone else. Kim and Chris talked about those depth charts, who has solidified spots in their minds, and who could surprise ahead of UW's unveiling of their own official two-deeps early next week.They also talk about the benefits of playing the game on Sunday, how they'll have a national audience all to themselves and will also be able to showcase the best of UW Football and the University of Washington to a ton of regional recruits on what is expected to be a beautiful Seattle Sunday.

Starbucks is terminating 224 corporate workers as part of its $2 billion cost-cutting restructuring — and 120 of those pink slips belong to employees who had an out and turned it down flat. The company offered a relocation package to Nashville. They said no. Now they're gone.The reason, spelled out plainly: Tennessee is too conservative. Too Republican. The workers who built their identities around Seattle's progressive bubble decided the optics of moving somewhere that votes red were worse than unemployment. They stayed put in a city hemorrhaging corporate tenants, watched the offer expire, and are now learning what ideological loyalty actually costs in the job market.This is Washington State's anti-business climate rendered in human terms. Howard Schultz said it on his way out the door and got ignored. The workers who most vocally championed the policies driving Starbucks toward Nashville in the first place are now the ones filing for unemployment. Seattle didn't just lose a headquarters. It trained 120 people to choose the bubble over a paycheck — and Starbucks obliged them.CHAPTERS0:00 Starbucks laying off 224 workers,…1:39 Starbucks Cuts 224 Corporate Workers3:28 Seattle's Tech Layoff Wave Continues4:13 Starbucks Made Nashville a Condition5:24 Seattle Bleeds Business Under Democrats6:07 Starbucks Pours $100M into Nashville8:06 Nashville vs Seattle Cost of Living9:35 Why Seattle Housing Won't Get Cheaper11:58 Rent Control and the Housing Shortage13:14 Katie Wilson Falls to 37 Percent14:46 Seattle Voters Give Wilson Failing…16:50 Former Police Chief Slams City Response18:54 Katie Wilson Recall Heads to CourtSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics, urban policy, and the stories the Seattle press buries.#NFRP #Starbucks #SeattleGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

This 200th RamNation Radio episode is brought to you by Pedersen Toyota, your Local Toyota Dealer Serving Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor and Timnath for more than 50 years. It is also made possible by Ginger and Baker — our favorite restaurant(s) in all of Fort Collins, and Ram Zone (powered by the CSU Bookstore) — the best place to get all your Ram gear. Former Colorado State head coach Jim McElwain joins RamNation Radio for a memorable look back at the era that produced CSU's last 10-win season and last bowl victory. Coach Mac shares stories from taking over a struggling Rams program, why recruiting Colorado was so important, beating CU twice in three years, the unforgettable 2013 New Mexico Bowl comeback over Washington State, going toe-to-toe with No. 1 Alabama and the 2014 breakthrough that put CSU back on the national map. He also talks Garrett Grayson, Shaq Barrett, Rashard Higgins, the importance of the Border War and why he believed CSU deserved more respect nationally. Now retired, McElwain reflects on his return to Fort Collins and seeing Canvas Stadium for the first time, weighs in on today's transfer portal and NIL-driven college football, laughs about some of the bizarre moments that followed him later in his career (i.e., Connor Stallions and the infamous shark photo), and explains why he thinks Jim Mora is a great fit to finally get the Rams winning again.

The Huskies took the field in the Dempsey Indoor facility on Tuesday as they continued preparations for the 118th Apple Cup vs. Washington State as they will host their cross-state rivals on Sunday, September 6th, the day before Labor Day. It was a spirited two-and-a-half-hour practice that saw a handful of team periods and several players who were either out or limited previously participating in practice.Dawgman's Scott Eklund and Kim Grinolds were on hand and shared there thoughts starting with which players were back and participating fully, including cornebacker Dylan Robinson, linebacker Jacob Manu and defensive lineman Kai McClendon.They also discussed some of the big plays that took place, from Taariq Al-Uqdah's diving interception to some big plays that were turned in by the wideouts and tailbacks.Eklund and Grinolds also discussed the recent announcement by pretty much every major FBS conference, including the Big Ten and SEC, that they will not accept players who were on pro teams and in training camps who wish to re-enroll and play college football.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together and talked about the nearly 90-play public scrimmage that took place Saturday night at Husky Stadium. It was billed as a 'mock game' for the fans and definitely shorter than the guys anticipated in terms of total plays and there was a lot of situational work and special teams on display, but it wasn't exactly the easiest practice to follow because of what they were trying to get accomplished. In short, the ball moved around all over the place and didn't share much in common with the previous play in terms of down and distance.That said, they saw some strong performances on both sides of the ball, starting with Demond Williams on offense and Jacob Lane and Ramzak Fruean on defense. Williams unofficially threw for well over 200 yards on 15-18 passing and two touchdowns - one to Christian Moss and one to Baron Naone. First-year quarterback Derek Zammit threw the only other touchdown of the night, an 11-yard strike to first-year walk-on receiver Asa Thompson. With Jedd Fisch saying post-practice that all the players that have been previously held out of competitive situations will be fully ready to go starting Sunday, the guys talked about the depth at both quarterback and running back and how those rooms look right now.They also gave their props to the defensive effort on display, especially at the line of scrimmage and with Ksani Jiles' 40-yard pick six off Treston Kini McMillan.After 14 practices, the real preparations start toward Washington State tomorrow. The guys talked about the media schedule ahead, the practices they will be covering and what to look forward to as the Huskies get closer and closer to game week.

For years, their Washington State home had been the place everyone wanted to be. Then her younger brother became fascinated with the paranormal, spending more and more time watching videos about ghosts, demons and dark entities. Not long afterward, he began talking about an imaginary friend named Charlie.Then the rest of the family started noticing things too. Laundry and freshly made beds were disturbed, shadows appeared when no one else was home, something seemed to move through the hallways, and her brother insisted that a man was standing in his doorway at night watching him sleep. Even their skeptical father eventually experienced something he couldn't explain.But the moment that finally convinced the family they needed to do something came when a familiar voice called out from an empty bedroom. Had her brother's obsession somehow opened their home to something—and if so, what exactly had come through?Love real ghost stories?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were on hand for a shortened Washington practice, one we anticipated because the Huskies are going to be playing a lot Saturday night during their Mock Game.The mock game, which starts at 6:30 pm inside Husky Stadium, will be the last chance UW fans will get to watch the team in person before they line up for their season opener against Washington State on Sunday, Sept. 6.And remember, the Fan Fest starts at 4:30, so bring your family! We're not sure whether or not the players and coaches will be there to sign autographs and take pictures before the game or after that game - we've heard both - so be there just to make sure. And the traffic, with 405 closures and the Mariners game too - isn't going to be great, so plan ahead.What did Kim and Chris see during Friday's workout? Basically what they thought they would, including a lot of clean up work and periods dedicated strictly to special teams. But there were definitely some other things of note to talk about, including the effect of the NCAA's successful appeal and what that meant for Grady Gross and Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei. The story for those two is far from over.And there was a great sequence at the very end of practice involving Defensive Line Quality Control Coach Korey Rush, Darin Conley, and a reward handed out by Jedd Fisch. You'll have to listen in to get the full story, but it's a good one!

Washington State's Labor & Industries has launched a formal investigation into We Heart Seattle — the volunteer group that has spent six years pulling needles out of Seattle's public parks. The same needles the government distributed under its harm reduction program. The agency's official position: you need special certification and hazmat protocols to pick up paraphernalia the state handed out for free.We Heart Seattle founder Andrea Suarez has been served notice. Her group has removed thousands of needles from city parks without incident, building a cleanup record that publicly funded agencies couldn't replicate. That work earned her a cease-and-desist from Seattle officials back in 2021. Now it's earned her a state labor investigation in 2026.This is one-party government operating exactly as designed. The same political apparatus that funds needle distribution with public money is using regulatory power to shut down the private volunteers filling the gap it refuses to fill. Katie Wilson and the harm reduction industry have turned civic accountability into a liability — and Seattle's parks pay the price.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics, urban policy, and the stories the mainstream press won't touch.#NFRP #Seattle #WeHeartSeattle

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were at Thursday's practice number 12 for the Washington Huskies, and there was a lot to talk about on both sides of the ball there.With many of their starters being wrapped in cotton wool in the meantime, that gave a lot of other players opportunities to step up, and they did.And interestingly enough, Scott thought the offense got the better of the defense while Chris thought it was the other way around. Why?Starting with the offense, the guys talked through the players that stood out to them, what their pecking order might look like heading into game one against Washington State on Sept 6, and then moved to the defense to talk about the players that impressed them on that side of the ball.And this is the last time the three will see the Huskies practice together before Saturday's Mock Game; what are they expecting on Saturday? And almost as important - who are they expecting to see play on Saturday night?

Washington State's Department of Ecology discovered their cap-and-trade emissions numbers were off by a staggering 86% — and were ready to issue a correction. Governor Bob Ferguson's office said no. Axios is now reporting that Ferguson's team sat on that correction for weeks, raising serious questions about why a governor who tightly controls state communications decided the public could just wait.The error isn't trivial. The Climate Commitment Act's entire policy premise rests on accurate emissions data — and Washington drivers have been paying some of the highest gas prices in the nation tied directly to those projections. When it took a Washington Policy Center analyst flagging that the math simply doesn't math to surface this, that's not a communications hiccup. That's an executive-level transparency failure with a real cost to every driver at the pump.Sean draws a pointed parallel to the Bite of Seattle shooting incident, where authorities waited five hours to warn the public about an active shooter — reportedly while holding for dignitaries to clear the venue. Two separate delays, same instinct: control the narrative first, inform the public second. Whether it's a murderer on the loose or an 86% error in your marquee climate law, the pattern around Big Bob is getting hard to ignore.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily news commentary that cuts through the noise — and hit the notification bell so you never miss a scoop.#NFRP #BobFerguson #WashingtonState

Colton Harris-Moore became one of America's most unlikely outlaws. A troubled teenager from a tiny island in Washington State, he began with petty theft and burglary before escalating to stealing cars, boats—and eventually airplanes. Often barefoot, Harris-Moore became an internet sensation as he seemingly outsmarted authorities across multiple states and countries.From a lonely childhood to a worldwide manhunt, this is the strange, chaotic story of the Barefoot Bandit—and the crimes that turned a troubled kid into a modern folk hero.

This is a Wednesday Wins Q&A, with Larry joined by his longtime co-host Joe Bailey to tackle a question that lands for almost every married dad. Mike from Washington State wrote in about a marriage that isn't broken, no fighting, no affairs, but feels more like two coworkers running a small company called the family. He and his wife talk schedules, kids, and bills, physical intimacy has slowed, and as he puts it, he misses her even though she's only six feet away. Larry breaks down the four pillars of marriage from Lance and Brandi's work, individual, partnership, friends, and intimacy, and explains how couples get stuck in the partnership loop and skip straight to intimacy, which backfires. Joe follows with the idea of getting used to the light again after emotional disconnection, releasing resentment, and making small pursuits without attaching expectations. If your marriage feels more like a business partnership than a romance, this one is a practical roadmap back.   Timeline Summary [1:02] – Setting up Mike's question about a marriage that feels like a business partnership [2:12] – Mike's full letter: coworkers running a company called our family [3:46] – Larry on his own first decade feeling exactly the same way [4:05] – The four pillars of marriage from Lance and Brandi's book [4:46] – Pillar one, individual: self-care and emotional check-ins by percentage [5:42] – Pillar two, partnership: the bills, roles, and chores, aka the partnership loop [5:59] – Pillar three, friends: shared interests and real alignment [6:21] – Pillar four, intimacy, and why it collapses when the others are neglected [6:47] – How couples skip friendship and self and jump straight to intimacy [7:26] – Disrupting the partnership loop by cultivating friendship first [7:49] – The walk-and-date boundary: be Larry and Jessica, not Mom and Dad [8:13] – Bookending conversations with appreciation so your partner feels seen [8:30] – Adventuring together and asking bucket-list questions [9:34] – Why men eradicate their own self-care and isolate [12:12] – Joe on living this exact dynamic in his own marriage [12:32] – The dark-theater analogy: getting used to the light again [13:35] – Step one, release resentment when reconnection feels uncomfortable [14:02] – Be persistent and stop attaching sex to every act of connection [14:27] – Small pursuits: flowers and a coffee dropped off at Ivy's work, just because [15:46] – Small investments compound like a financial portfolio [16:40] – Stop keeping score and get in the habit of just investing [16:59] – The car story: we love the things we invest in [20:07] – Loving your wife publicly and without agenda [20:44] – Loving her in front of the kids and her mother [21:48] – The Hitch analogy and winning over the people around her [22:14] – The marriage hack: your mother in law as your greatest ally   5 Key Takeaways Marriage Has Four Pillars — Individual, partnership, friends, and intimacy. When you neglect self-care, friendship, and quality time and jump straight to intimacy, it falls flat. Intimacy is the natural result of the other three working. Escape the Partnership Loop — If every conversation is about schedules, bills, and who needs to be where, you're stuck in the partnership loop. Break out by rebuilding the friendship: dates, walks, adventures, and conversations where you're a couple, not just co-parents. Get Used to the Light Again — After emotional disconnection, reconnecting feels awkward and uncomfortable for both people. Expect that, release resentment about it, and don't attach worst-case scenarios to the discomfort. Make Small Pursuits Without Agenda — Drop off flowers just because, and don't attach any expectation of sex, because she'll sniff that out instantly. Stop keeping score and keep making small investments, and the connection compounds over time. We Love What We Invest In — Don't wait to feel the love before you invest. As the car story shows, investment creates love, not the other way around. Love your wife publicly and without agenda, and let her people, especially her mother, become your allies.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1516 Legendary Couple with Larry and Jessica: https://thedadedge.com/legendary-couple/ Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals (November 15, Cardinals vs Rams, State Farm Stadium): https://thedadedge.com/nfl   Enjoyed This Episode? If Mike's letter read like a page out of your own marriage, pick one small pursuit and do it this week with zero agenda. Drop off her favorite coffee, take a walk where you're just the two of you again, and stop waiting to feel connected before you invest.
