(OPINION) In tonight’s LIVE podcast, we discuss how I believe there have been two phases of humanity that have led to societal decline, and the third and final phase is now in motion. This will be the final phase that will usher in the end of the Age and the appearing of the Antichrist!

Feeling optimistic after the divorce. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban shocked the world when they announced they were splitting up and headed for divorce at the end of 2025. Kidman first filed for divorce on September 30th, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee. They had been separated and living apart since the beginning of the summer when Keith moved out. According to several sources, Kidman was trying to save the marriage, while Urban wanted out. Either way, it’s sad to see this nearly two-decade marriage come to an end. Of course, you never know what’s really going on behind closed doors, but the two of them always appeared very much in love, and they often spoke publicly about their seemingly strong marriage and life together. They share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, and it’s heartbreaking all around, especially for their kids. They were married for 19 years, and first met in 2005 after meeting at the G’Day USA gala in Los Angeles. Urban talked about his wife’s “otherworldly era,” saying he was incredibly nervous to speak to her and felt like he was meeting a “real-life princess.” He eventually worked up the nerve to ask for her number, though it still took him a while to actually call her. Once he did, their connection was instant, and the rest is history. They were married the following year in 2006. At the start of 2026, Kidman and Urban finalized their divorce, and it appears that the parties were not looking for a fight and were more concerned about their children in the split. Which, in my opinion, is how it should be. Court documents state that each party is responsible for their own legal fees and expenses. In addition to laying out the schedule for when each parent will get their kids, they are both required to “behave with each other and each child so as to provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced.” The parenting agreement also states: “They will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent. They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.” While it’s heartbreaking to know that this relationship did not stand the test of time, a source close to Nicole Kidman says she is feeling good and optimistic about what lies ahead after finalizing her divorce. After spending the holiday and starting the year in Australia, the source shared with PEOPLE: “She is refreshed and optimistic about the new year. They’re all settling back into their routine. Things have been calm.” The source added that Kidman is looking forward to all that she has professionally coming up this year. And according to Dallasites, what she has on her roster professionally is already taking off. DFW citizens have spotted filming for Special Ops: Lioness set up in various parts of downtown and uptown Dallas. The year also includes the long-awaited sequel to Practical Magic, her popular 1998 movie with Sandra Bullock, Apple TV’s Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and Prime Video’s Scarpetta. Given how busy Kidman is each year, this is not the complete list of what’s on her horizon. Throwing herself into motherhood and her career, it seems, but those outlets are great for healing and keeping herself busy in this new life chapter.

Makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it? It’s no secret that Chris Stapleton is one of the most talented artists in the music world. Yeah… I’m not saying just country. Ask any artist out there – in any genre – and they’d likely tell you that they’d kill to have the vocal power that Stapleton so effortlessly possesses. That kind of undeniable talent is sought after, which is why Stapleton is often asked to collaborate on the work of other’s. The country music star spoke more about that in the latest episode of Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast. If you’ve never listed to the podcast, Shepard’s show mainly focuses in on celebrity interviews, and the generally, he gets pretty deep on topics like family, mental health, struggles and shortcomings, and other more vulnerable points of conversation. The 51-year-old has previously shared that he has a passion for speaking with others, learning more about them, and hearing stories that could potentially help others in similar circumstances. He’s been at it for over six years, and Dax rarely ever passes on the opportunity to talk with someone interesting. He’s actually been on quite the kick of country music artists as guest, with Luke Combs, Jason Aldean and now Chris Stapleton all joining his show in just a matter of months. Dax and Stapleton had quite the sprawling, almost-two-hour conversation (if you’ve got time to listen to it all, and call yourself a Stapleton fan, do it), and at one point, Shepard asked a really good question: Did Chris Stapleton accidentally become a lead man? If you know the “White Horse” singer’s story, you know that inquiry is solely based upon the early stages of Stapleton’s career journey. And the country music artist was quick to agree that he did, in fact, become a star on accident: “1oo%. I moved to Nashville to be a songwriter… I don’t write a lot anymore.” Many attribute Stapleton’s CMA Awards “Tennessee Whiskey” performance with Justin Timberlake as his official star-making moment. It definitely didn’t hurt, and Chris refers to it as throwing a match on the fire that was already built and ready to go. Stapleton put in a ton of time in Nashville as a songwriter long before that night at the CMAs, and his “Tennessee Whiskey” performance was just the spring board. Fast forward to today, and Stapleton is one of the biggest stars in country music. He told Dax that honor also translates to being asked by others to collaborate. As someone who got a start in the industry through songwriting, Chris Stapleton is always game… but it’s never just the songwriting that other artists are asking for: “I do get calls from people to write with and for things, which inevitably ends up being, ‘Hey will you also come sing on this thing?’ I usually go, ‘Well, okay.’ But I really love the role of getting in a room with someone and writing for their thing. I enjoy that. I enjoy the exercise of walking in the room with someone and going, ‘What are we going to do today? What are we gonna pull down out of the sky?'” Sounds like there’s a small part of Chris that would love to just be the songwriter that he moved to Nashville to be. Then again, you can’t have that big of a voice and expect to not be asked to utilize it. The way that Stapleton talked about it, he does seem a little bummed out when he’s asked to also sing on the project that he’s helping with. However, even he understands that when someone asks for Chris Stapleton to help… they’re obviously going to want the thing that Stapleton is famously known for. You can hear him talk more about it in the Armchair Expert interview below: The post Chris Stapleton Says He Rarely Ever Gets Asked To Co-Write…. Without Getting Asked To Sing Too first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Back in the days of cavemen, if a stranger wandered into your camp claiming they could make fire, you'd probably be skeptical at first. Your first reaction would be to assess whether this new person was trustworthy or posed a danger to the tribe. Then, once you realized they weren't dangerous, you could try to suss out whether they were actually good at making fire.Once the newcomer proved trustworthy and competent, you'd probably strike a deal, trading some bearskin for a roaring fire.These evolutionary tendencies to assess trustworthiness first and competence second are among the most practical findings from Harvard University's research on first impressions. In fact, Harvard's Program on Negotiation found that warmth and competence account for roughly 80% of our judgements of others. A woman meeting her new coworkers.via Canva/PhotosTherefore, if you want to make a great first impression, whether in a job interview, on a blind date, or on a retail floor, it's essential to communicate warmth and competence."If someone you're trying to influence doesn't trust you, you're not going to get very far; in fact, you might even elicit suspicion because you come across as manipulative," Amy Cuddy, a professor at Harvard Business School, told Business Insider. "A warm, trustworthy person who is also strong elicits admiration, but only after you've established trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat."How to communicate warmth and competenceStep 1: Communicate warmthCuddy suggests that when you meet new people, you approach them with calm warmth. Avoid appearing overly eager, and use a reassuring tone that signals sincerity."Aim for a tone that suggests that you're leveling with people—that you're sharing the straight scoop, with no pretense or emotional adornment," Cuddy writes. "In doing so, you signal that you trust those you're talking with to handle things the right way."You can also create a sense of warmth by nodding as they speak and maintaining an open posture. At the beginning of the conversation, sharing a quick personal anecdote can help build rapport. A man and woman meeting for the first time.via Canva/PhotosStep 2: Communicate competenceWhen you're communicating competence to a new acquaintance, they don't have your resume in hand or references from your past relationships. One of the most effective ways to project competence, then, is through your posture."Stand up straight. It is hard to overstate the importance of good posture in projecting authority and an intention to be taken seriously," Cuddy writes. "As Maya Angelou wrote, 'Stand up straight and realize who you are, that you tower over your circumstances.'"Cuddy adds that good posture communicates strength and competence without sacrificing warmth: "Standing tall is an especially good way to project strength because it doesn't interfere with warmth in the way that other signals of strength—cutting gestures, a furrowed brow, an elevated chin—often do."The caveman analogy offers a useful way to think about meeting new people. You have to earn their trust before you can help them build a fire. While this strategy may feel a bit awkward at first, Cuddy believes that persistence pays off. "The strategies we suggest may seem awkward at first, but they will soon create a positive feedback loop," she writes.

Poet Robert Frost created inspiring poems that are beloved around the world. Frost was known for his simple yet deep style of poetry, and, although he didn't publish his first book until he was 40, he went on to earn four Pulitzer Prizes.He created a body of work that continues to touch people. Yet, like many great artists, Frost struggled with his mental health throughout his life. (Frost was born in 1874 and died in 1963.) William & Mary English Professor and Frost biographer Henry Hart found that many of Frost's relatives struggled with schizophrenia as well as depression."Throughout his life, he struggled to fit in. His education was irregular, routinely disrupted when Frost dropped out after suffering attacks of anxiety and depression that expressed themselves in various physical ailments," notes the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). - YouTube www.youtube.com Frost experienced many hardships during his life, beginning at a young age. His father William Prescott Frost, Jr., died when he was just 11 years old. His sister Jeanie would later suffer from mental illness, and died in a mental hospital.Frost would go on to marry his high school girlfriend, Elinor White, in 1895. The couple had six children, a blessing that came with loads of tragedy."Four of Frost’s six children died before he did, including Carol, the son who committed suicide. Frost’s daughter Irma suffered mental problems that required hospitalization, and Elinor battled anxiety, too. She died of heart failure in 1938," according to the NEH. "Frost’s own bouts of depression brought physical and mental anguish. 'Cast your eye back over my family luck, and perhaps you will wonder if I haven’t had pretty near enough,' he lamented at one point." - YouTube www.youtube.com His wife Elinor was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1937, and died in 1938 from heart disease. "She had been the unspoken half of everything I ever wrote," Frost said. He would go on to live 26 more years without her.Through these challenges, Frost developed resilience and perseverance. One of his most famous quotes describes his advice on how he pushed through:"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."The quote is reported to come from a September 1954 interview with journalist Ray Josephs for This Week Magazine. During the interview, Josephs asks Frost, "In all your years and all your travels, what do you think is the most important thing you’ve learned about life?" - YouTube www.youtube.com From there, Frost shared his wise insights."He paused a moment, then with the twinkle sparkling under those brambly eyebrows he replied: 'In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on. In all the confusions of today, with all our troubles . . . with politicians and people slinging the word fear around, all of us become discouraged . . . tempted to say this is the end, the finish. But life — it goes on. It always has. It always will. Don’t forget that.'"Frost died at age 88 in 1963 and was buried in Bennington, Vermont, next to his wife Elinor. Honest about life's struggles to the end, Frost's gravestone reads: "I had a lover's quarrel with the world."
