Gestern wurde George Floyd beerdigt, aber die Bewegung, die sein Tod auslöste, fängt gerade erst an.  Zehntausende Demonstranten gingen diese Woche erneut auf die Straßen, um gegen Rassismus und Polizeibrutalität zu demonstrieren.  Einige Proteste wurden ironischerweise mit Polizeigewalt beantwortet, obwohl sie weitgehend friedlich blieben.

Wir schwanken zwischen Optimismus über die Veränderung, die diese Bewegung bringen könnte, und Angst vor den vor uns liegenden Herausforderungen bis zur Wahl im November.  Diese Woche schauen wir uns an, was die Demonstranten wollen, was "Defund the Police" bedeutet und wie verschiedene Seiten reagieren.

Bernie Sanders hat´s tatsächlich geschafft, doch sein Sieg war nicht die Hauptschlagzeile nach den Vorwahlen in New Hampshire, den hatten die Umfragen ja vorausgesagt.

Und eine Bewerberin hat jetzt "Klomentum": Amy Klobuchar setzte mit Platz 3 ein Ausrufezeichen, sie hat nun Elizabeth Warren als die führende KandidatIN abgelöst. Und Ex-Vizepräsident Biden? Was ist mit dem bisherigen Favoriten geschehen? Wir sortieren und ordnen diese wichtige Vorwahl ein, sprechen mit Jiffers Dad und bieten, wie immer, unsere "Takeaways" der Woche an!

I know we keep saying we're going to quit Shameless but it might stick this time. At the top of this episode, we chat about how the show isn't bringing us enough joy to keep doing regular coverage of it. We're not promising we'll never record again, but we are suspending regular recording for now. All past episodes will continue to be available. But this ep does contain one last episode analysis for you, on 10.5 "Sparky", which I think is important in understanding why we're so frustrated with the show. Thanks for all the fish!

In this episode we have Beth McCord joining Dr. Kim to talk about How to Have A Thriving Relationship with an Enneagram 1. For the next several weeks Beth will be breaking down some real, practical tips for being married to each Enneagram number. 

If you are married to a 1 this is YOUR episode. But even if you aren’t married to a 1, we know you will find this episode helpful in learning more about your 1 friends. Part of loving people is knowing people. So use this series as a tool to know your people better, understand them deeper, and love them better. 

Beth McCord founded ‘Your Enneagram Coach’ and has been an Enneagram speaker, coach and teacher for over 17 years. She is seriously the best of the best so we are so blessed to have her share her time and expertise with us.

We pray you enjoy learning more about 1s in this episode!

This episode is a real treat because we have Beth & Jeff McCord joining Dr. Kim. Beth founded Your Enneagram Coach and is an Enneagram speaker, coach and teacher.

Beth & Jeff live outside of Nashville and have been married for 24 years. Combining the gospel and the Enneagram has been instrumental in Beth and Jeff's marriage and parenting.

The Enneagram is simply a map for self-discovery and personal growth based on 9 basic personality types.

When we come to know what’s at the root of our thoughts, feelings and actions, we can stop placing unhealthy and unrealistic expectations on our spouses to “fill us up.” Our marriages can be transformed when our eyes are open to the unique ways our spouse was created, allowing us to better love, serve, communicate and resolve conflict. The Enneagram is simply a tool to self discovery and others discovery. And like Dr. Kim is always saying, we need to be “a student of our spouse.” The Enneagram is one way to do just that. 

In this episode Dr. Kim, Beth & Jeff share about how they have used the Enneagram to help create a thriving, gospel-centered marriage.

Its the fourth episode of season 10 and we really didn't like much about this episode. Liam's ruining nice people for no reason, Debbie continues to be Frank Junior and Lip is treading water for an entire episode and Holly, Melissa, Serrae and V are here to chat about it.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP Hindu nationalist party won a landslide reelection in May 2019 – but political and economic unrest are shortening the honeymoon. After years of sharp economic upturn and high growth, India has been underperforming since late 2018. Nisha Biswal, President of the U.S. India Business Council at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and former Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, joins Altamar to explain the sluggish Indian economy and how Modi’s government can tackle structural economic issues to achieve growth.

The Wannabes help Jerry through an existential crisis after visiting the morgue. Plus, Fernie officially replaces Raul Reyes...And yeah, it's an upgrade.

The guys are shocked and aroused by Christian's threaded eyebrows. He decided to treat himself as a break from his baby duties.

Jerry's new animated movie PLOEY just dropped its first trailer! The Wannabes play it live on-air, and strategize for the premiere. Jesus tries out some voices to get in on that sweet sweet cartoon work.

Finally, a special guest appearance by Nicky Garcia raises a very important question: "How old were you when you realized what gay was?" We don't edit these things, so if you're outraged, y'know...Maybe smoke some weed or something?
