John Cena's monumental heel turn takes center stage as Chaps, Big O, and Dean break down what they're calling "one of the greatest five minutes in wrestling history." While Chaps celebrates this perfectly executed moment that had him literally standing on his couch in anticipation, Big O offers a more measured take, revealing this turn was potentially 13 years in the making dating back to Cena's first WrestleMania match against The Rock.The conversation shifts into fantasy booking territory as the hosts map out potential storylines leading to WrestleMania and beyond. Will Cena become a "corporate champion" for The Rock? Could WWE legends like Alex Riley return to settle old scores? The hosts craft elaborate scenarios that would bring Cena's illustrious career full circle, potentially concluding at a special event in Boston later this year.A heated discussion erupts when the topic turns to Pat McAfee's controversial comments about Canadian fans booing the American national anthem. While condemning the death threats McAfee received, Chaps expresses disappointment in McAfee's failure to understand the political context behind the protest. The segment highlights the complex intersection of sports, entertainment, and international relations, especially amid recent trade tensions between the US and Canada.The episode wraps with hilarious parenting stories that reveal the hosts' personal lives behind the microphone, comparing the chaos of raising boys versus the challenges of raising girls. Whether you're a wrestling fan, sports enthusiast, or just looking for some real talk among friends, this episode delivers unfiltered perspectives on the week's biggest moments.

Missouri's 2025 legislative session began a week-and-a-half ago, and new House Majority Floor Leader Alex Riley (R-Springfield) says the Missouri House will deliver on what he describes as big, conservative ideas that House Republican candidates campaigned on. Republicans have a 110-52 supermajority in the Missouri House again this year. Leader Riley joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri", telling listeners that he and House Speaker Jonathan Patterson (R-Lee's Summit) wanted to get off to a fast start. Leader Riley predicts the House will approve legislation this session that would provide tax cuts, protect the Second Amendment and legislation involving transgender issues. We also discussed heavily-traveled I-70 and I-44 during the interview. Missouri lawmakers has approved a $2.8 billion plan to rebuild and expand I-70 to six lanes across Missouri, from Wentzville to Blue Springs. They've also approved funding to three-lane I-44 in the Springfield, Joplin and Rolla areas. Leader Riley tells listeners that the state doesn't have the $10-billion to expand I-44 across the state, noting I-44 has numerous hill and more bridges that I-70:

Political News from America's Heartland - Friday, May 17, 2024 - KS Gov Laura Kelly signs $75 MM boost to special ed fundingMissouri Senate Democrats 50 Hour Filibuster | New “youth core” program focuses on mental health | Minnesota Gov. announces boost for child care fundingKS Gov Laura Kelly signs $75 MM boost to special ed fundinghttps://kansasreflector.com/2024/05/16/kansas-governor-signs-school-funding-bill-with-75-million-boost-for-special-education/BY: SHERMAN SMITH - MAY 16, 2024 11:38 AMTOPEKA — Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly signed legislation this week that allocates $6.6 billion to K-12 public schools, including $75 million in new money for special education, and vetoed language designed to funnel safety grant cash to a specific software company.The Democratic governor and Republican legislators separately claimed credit for continuing to fully fund schools, as required by the state's constitution and mandated by the Kansas Supreme Court. House Bill 387 passed the House 115-2 and the Senate 35-2 on April 26, shortly before the Legislature adjourned for the year.The legislation includes $4.9 billion in state spending for the public school system.Gov Kelly's message to lawmakers in signing the bill referenced the state's historical failures to provide adequate and equitable resources to public schools.In 2018, when Kelly was still a state senator, the Legislature adopted a five-year plan to fully fund schools by the 2022-23 school year. As governor, she worked with lawmakers in 2019 to correct a math problem and add an ongoing inflation adjustment to win approval from the Kansas Supreme Court. The court retained oversight of the case to ensure the Legislature didn't pull the rug out from under schools as it had repeatedly in the past, then let go of the case earlier this year.Gov. Kelly said, “When I became governor, my first order of business was to end the cycle of school finance litigation caused by years of underfunding. Reckless leadership and mismanagement of the state's finances made it impossible for the state to adequately fund our schools. Since then, we've seen how investment in our education system pays significant dividends for our entire state. Students now have more opportunities than ever to explore their educational and professional interests. Our commitment to fully funding public education better supports teachers, paraprofessionals, and administrators.”Lawmakers agreed to address a longstanding shortfall in special education funding by adding $75 million to the budget. But they stopped short of meeting recommendations from a special task force, which said lawmakers should add $82.7 million annually for four years to comply with a law requiring the state to cover 92% of extra costs for serving students in special education.“This funding will provide critical support to districts that have been shouldering the burden of the state's decade-long failure to meet its statutory obligation and ultimately its promise to the next generation of Kansans,” Kelly said.At one point this year, the Legislature considered rewriting state law to permanently underfund special education.Kelly said the new money would allow districts to “properly invest in special education educators” rather than redirect funding that otherwise would be used on teacher salaries and other instruction programs.“While this funding is a critical first step, it is just a first step. We must continue to increase special education funding in future years.”Sen. Molly Baumgardner, a Louisburg Republican who chairs the Senate Education Committee, said lawmakers this year focused on crafting a bill that better addresses the needs of students, teachers, and staff members.She said, “Our commitment to distributing increased special education funding in a more equitable way to Kansas school districts was accomplished by collaborating directly with the Department of Education leadership team. This is an important change for children that receive these special services.”The governor vetoed language that would have required schools to use the $5 million available through the School Safety and Security Grant program on firearm detection software made by ZeroEyes. The company hired lobbyists in multiple states to try to corner the market on security contracts by inserting restrictions in legislation to undermine the ability of rival vendors to bid.Kelly said the restrictions amounted to a no-bid contract and would restrict schools from using the money on other types of safety needs. She has the authority to use a line-item veto on the policy because it was embedded in a budget bill.Schools should be able to invest in other school safety efforts, Kelly said, such as updating communications systems, hiring more security staff, investing in physical infrastructure, and buying automated external defibrillators.“We must continue to work together to ensure our students have a safe, conducive environment for their learning. To do that, we should not hamstring districts by limiting this funding opportunity to services provided by one company. Missouri Senate Democrats 50-Hour Filibusterhttps://missouriindependent.com/2024/05/15/50-hour-filibuster-forces-more-negotiations-on-gop-backed-initiative-petition-changes/ 50-hour filibuster forces more negotiations on GOP-backed initiative petition changes BY: ANNA SPOERRE, RUDI KELLER AND JASON HANCOCK - MAY 15, 2024 6:48 PM A 50-hour Democratic filibuster forced the Senate's divided GOP majority to finally yield Wednesday evening, stalling a vote on a bill seeking to make it more difficult to amend Missouri's constitution. Democrats have blocked all action in the Senate since Monday afternoon, demanding that the legislation be stripped of “ballot candy” that would bar non-citizens from voting and ban foreign entities from contributing to or sponsoring constitutional amendments, both of which are already illegal.  The Senate passed the bill without ballot candy in February. The House added it back last month.Senate Minority Leader John Rizzo, an Independence Democrat, on Tuesday said the situation presented an existential crisis for the Senate, as Republicans openly considered a rarely-used maneuver to kill the filibuster and force a vote on the bill.  “Are the bullies going to win?” Rizzo asked. “Or is the rest of the Senate finally going to stand up for itself and say ‘no more.'”  He got an answer just before 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, when state Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman, an Arnold Republican and the bill's sponsor, surprised many of her colleagues by asking that the Senate send the bill back to the House for more negotiations on whether to include “ballot candy.”  Republicans simply didn't have the votes to kill the filibuster, she said, and Democrats showed no signs of relenting before session ends at 6 p.m. Friday.  The sudden change in tactics was not well taken by members of the Freedom Caucus, who argued sending the bill back to the House with only two days left before adjournment puts its chances at risk.  Tim Jones, a former Missouri House speaker and current director of the state's Freedom Caucus, wrote on social media Thursday evening that Coleman “effectively killed her bill today.”If the bill passes, Missourians would have the opportunity to vote later this year on whether or not to require constitutional amendments be approved by both a majority of votes statewide and a majority of votes in five of the state's eight congressional districts.  Right now, amendments pass with a simple majority.A possible vote on abortion in November is a catalyst behind the battle over the bill, as a campaign to legalize abortion up to the point of fetal viability is on the path to the statewide ballot.  Republicans have said that without raising the threshold for changing the state's constitution, a constitutional right to abortion will likely become the law of the land in Missouri.  State Sen. Rick Brattin, a Harrisonville Republican and a member of the Freedom Caucus, tipped his hat to the Democrats' “wherewithal” before scorning some of his Republican colleagues.  “Unfortunately, this Republican Party has no backbone to fight for what is right for life,” he shouted from the Senate floor. “ … They will have the blood of the innocent on their heads. Shame on this party.”Coleman's move also came as a surprise to state Rep. Alex Riley, a Republican from Springfield who sponsored the initiative petition bill in the House.  “We're going to have to have some conversations tonight to figure out what exactly it is they have in mind,” he said.New “youth core” program focuses on mental healthhttps://www.axios.com/2024/05/15/youth-mental-health-corpsNew program creates "youth corps" for mental healthHundreds of young adults will be trained to help their peers access mental health care and other supports in a first-of-its-kind service program aimed at addressing the youth mental health crisis.Backers of the new Youth Mental Health Corps, which is funded by a mix of private and public dollars, also hope to create a new talent pipeline to address shortages of mental health workers.How it works: Young adults ages 18 and up will spend about a year working at a school or nonprofit to help connect other young people to mental health support.Corps members will conduct check-ins with students, run trainings for caregivers, conduct community outreach and more.They'll receive training, a stipend, earn state-specific mental health worker credentials, and credit toward higher education degrees in behavioral health. Participants will receive training in therapeutic communication, crisis intervention, behavioral health systems and other skills. They'll receive a minimum of $20 per hour.Administrators expect hundreds of young people to join the program in its first year, and thousands to benefit from it.Colorado Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera, whose state will be one of the first to implement the program this fall said, "Kids can relate more to experiences and challenges faced by other teenagers. It fosters trust and comfort in seeking mental health support."In addition to Colorado, programs will start this fall in Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey and Texas. Programs in California, Iowa, Maryland, New York, Utah and Virginia are slated to start next year.The Schultz Family Foundation, created by Starbucks founder Howard Schultz and Sheri Kersch Schultz, and Pinterest, expect to invest $10 million in the program over three years.Other funding will come from public sources, including state and national AmeriCorps grants.Schultz said it expects additional philanthropic and private sector donations in the futureMinnesota Gov. Tim Walz announces $6MM boost in child care fundinghttps://minnesotareformer.com/2024/05/15/governor-announces-6-million-in-grants-to-create-more-than-2200-new-child-care-slots/MN Governor Tim Walz announces $6 million in grants to create more than 2,200 new childcare slotsBY: MADISON MCVAN - MAY 15, 2024 6:02 PMTwenty-one Minnesota organizations will receive funding to open or expand childcare centers this year, Gov. Tim Walz announced Wednesday, with more than half of the grants going to providers outside the Twin Cities.  Lawmakers boosted funding for the Department of Employment and Economic Development's child care grant program last year.  Gov Walz said Wednesday that child care is an example of a “market failure” during a visit to the St. David's Center for Child & Family Development in Minnetonka, which received a $270,000 grant to create more classrooms and educational spaces.  Nationwide, the childcare industry is in crisis. Minnesota is no exception, facing a shortage of childcare providers and high costs for families. Minnesota has some of the highest childcare costs in the country, which could be one explanation for a lower birth rate in recent years.The Legislature last year voted to continue a COVID-era program that raised the pay for childcare workers, averting a funding cliff.A coalition of childcare advocates this session pushed for a subsidy program that would reduce the cost of child care for families making less than 150% of the median income. If fully funded at around $500 million per year, families with low income would have their childcare bills covered by the state, while qualifying families making more than the median income would pay around 7% of their household income on child care, a target set by the federal government. Advocates are hoping to move that bill successfully, next year. @TheHeartlandPOD on Twitter and ThreadsCo-HostsAdam Sommer @Adam_Sommer85 (Twitter) @adam_sommer85 (Threads)Rachel Parker @msraitchetp (Threads) Sean Diller (no social)The Heartland Collective - Sign Up Today!JOIN PATREON FOR MORE - AND JOIN OUR SOCIAL NETWORK!“Change The Conversation”Outro Song: “The World Is On Fire” by American Aquarium http://www.americanaquarium.com/

Mary Elizabeth Coleman, an Arnold Republican and the bill's sponsor, surprised many of her colleagues by asking that the Senate send the bill back to the House for more negotiations on whether to include “ballot candy.”  Republicans simply didn't have the votes to kill the filibuster, she said, and Democrats showed no signs of relenting before session ends at 6 p.m. Friday.  The sudden change in tactics was not well taken by members of the Freedom Caucus, who argued sending the bill back to the House with only two days left before adjournment puts its chances at risk.  Tim Jones, a former Missouri House speaker and current director of the state's Freedom Caucus, wrote on social media Thursday evening that Coleman “effectively killed her bill today.”If the bill passes, Missourians would have the opportunity to vote later this year on whether or not to require constitutional amendments be approved by both a majority of votes statewide and a majority of votes in five of the state's eight congressional districts.  Right now, amendments pass with a simple majority.A possible vote on abortion in November is a catalyst behind the battle over the bill, as a campaign to legalize abortion up to the point of fetal viability is on the path to the statewide ballot.  Republicans have said that without raising the threshold for changing the state's constitution, a constitutional right to abortion will likely become the law of the land in Missouri.  State Sen. Rick Brattin, a Harrisonville Republican and a member of the Freedom Caucus, tipped his hat to the Democrats' “wherewithal” before scorning some of his Republican colleagues.  “Unfortunately, this Republican Party has no backbone to fight for what is right for life,” he shouted from the Senate floor. “ … They will have the blood of the innocent on their heads. Shame on this party.”Coleman's move also came as a surprise to state Rep. Alex Riley, a Republican from Springfield who sponsored the initiative petition bill in the House.  “We're going to have to have some conversations tonight to figure out what exactly it is they have in mind,” he said.New “youth core” program focuses on mental healthhttps://www.axios.com/2024/05/15/youth-mental-health-corpsNew program creates "youth corps" for mental healthHundreds of young adults will be trained to help their peers access mental health care and other supports in a first-of-its-kind service program aimed at addressing the youth mental health crisis.Backers of the new Youth Mental Health Corps, which is funded by a mix of private and public dollars, also hope to create a new talent pipeline to address shortages of mental health workers.How it works: Young adults ages 18 and up will spend about a year working at a school or nonprofit to help connect other young people to mental health support.Corps members will conduct check-ins with students, run trainings for caregivers, conduct community outreach and more.They'll receive training, a stipend, earn state-specific mental health worker credentials, and credit toward higher education degrees in behavioral health. Participants will receive training in therapeutic communication, crisis intervention, behavioral health systems and other skills. They'll receive a minimum of $20 per hour.Administrators expect hundreds of young people to join the program in its first year, and thousands to benefit from it.Colorado Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera, whose state will be one of the first to implement the program this fall said, "Kids can relate more to experiences and challenges faced by other teenagers. It fosters trust and comfort in seeking mental health support."In addition to Colorado, programs will start this fall in Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey and Texas. Programs in California, Iowa, Maryland, New York, Utah and Virginia are slated to start next year.The Schultz Family Foundation, created by Starbucks founder Howard Schultz and Sheri Kersch Schultz, and Pinterest, expect to invest $10 million in the program over three years.Other funding will come from public sources, including state and national AmeriCorps grants.Schultz said it expects additional philanthropic and private sector donations in the futureMinnesota Gov. Tim Walz announces $6MM boost in child care fundinghttps://minnesotareformer.com/2024/05/15/governor-announces-6-million-in-grants-to-create-more-than-2200-new-child-care-slots/MN Governor Tim Walz announces $6 million in grants to create more than 2,200 new childcare slotsBY: MADISON MCVAN - MAY 15, 2024 6:02 PMTwenty-one Minnesota organizations will receive funding to open or expand childcare centers this year, Gov. Tim Walz announced Wednesday, with more than half of the grants going to providers outside the Twin Cities.  Lawmakers boosted funding for the Department of Employment and Economic Development's child care grant program last year.  Gov Walz said Wednesday that child care is an example of a “market failure” during a visit to the St. David's Center for Child & Family Development in Minnetonka, which received a $270,000 grant to create more classrooms and educational spaces.  Nationwide, the childcare industry is in crisis. Minnesota is no exception, facing a shortage of childcare providers and high costs for families. Minnesota has some of the highest childcare costs in the country, which could be one explanation for a lower birth rate in recent years.The Legislature last year voted to continue a COVID-era program that raised the pay for childcare workers, averting a funding cliff.A coalition of childcare advocates this session pushed for a subsidy program that would reduce the cost of child care for families making less than 150% of the median income. If fully funded at around $500 million per year, families with low income would have their childcare bills covered by the state, while qualifying families making more than the median income would pay around 7% of their household income on child care, a target set by the federal government. Advocates are hoping to move that bill successfully, next year. @TheHeartlandPOD on Twitter and ThreadsCo-HostsAdam Sommer @Adam_Sommer85 (Twitter) @adam_sommer85 (Threads)Rachel Parker @msraitchetp (Threads) Sean Diller (no social)The Heartland Collective - Sign Up Today!JOIN PATREON FOR MORE - AND JOIN OUR SOCIAL NETWORK!“Change The Conversation”Outro Song: “The World Is On Fire” by American Aquarium http://www.americanaquarium.com/

In this week's Driven Chat Podcast, John Marcar and Rachael Downie bring you two conversations recorded initially for our Radio Show on talkSPORT2. As is often the way with radio segments, often the final product is significantly shorter than the original recording - and so, we're bringing you both conversations in full right here on the podcast.First is the wonderful Ginny Buckley, who talks to us about her new Dispatches documentary on Channel 4 called 'Why is my car so expensive?' The show offers a brilliant piece of investigative journalism to discover why new and used cars are rocketing in price and if it's justified or if companies are trying to make a fast buck.Our second conversation is with Alex Riley, who joined us on talkSPORT to share the details of his TV show, The Car Years. Alex writes and presents with his co-host Vicky Butler Henderson and each week, the two compete to convince a panel of high-profile automotive judges who has the best car. Alex also shares his media journey leading up to this point, including taking a terrifying leap from a safe job to having a go at being a researcher for BBC top gear in the late 1990s.INTERVIEW TIME STAMPS- Intro with John and Rachael; 0:00 -17:00- Ginny Buckley; 17:00 - 33:30- Alex Riley; 33:30 - 1:05:30The Driven Chat podcast is brought to you by Paramex Digital.

Right now, 332 million people across the globe are suffering from depression. You might be one of them. And yet despite the prevalence of this illness, it is still barely understood, with precious few treatment options available. The science writer Alex Riley - this week's guest on Mad World - has now produced the most comprehensive history of depression ever written, with the hope of changing this.In A Cure For Darkness, Riley busts a whole host of myths about depression. It is not a modern illness - in fact, it is as old as humans - and it is certainly not a western illness, with people all around the world experiencing it. He also explores the treatment options available, and why there are so few of them - plus, he goes into some of the exciting new options for depression on the horizon, and some of the awful practices that have been used in the past, including the ice pick lobotomy.

'The Car Years' on ITV would appear to be tailor made for Alex Riley, but his motoring passions will surprise some of you, and he's certainly the most committed automotive Francophile Jason and Dave have met to date.

PWTorch editor Wade Keller presents an Interview Classic from ten years ago with former WWE creative team member John Piermarini. They discuss the final hype for Summerslam on Raw, the fact that only four matches have been announced, predictions for the show, and more related to Sunday's PPV, plus they take live calls for an hour. In the 30-minute previously VIP-exclusive Aftershow they discuss whether there's any sense of real heat between WWE regulars (Punk, Orton, Cena) and The Rock based on latest comments aimed at one another, and analysis of Jim Ross's return and Alex Riley's babyface push.

n this edition of Shooting Up North, I discuss: Former Impact star Kiera Hogan and former WWE star Tony Nese were backstage at AEW Dynamite Homecoming. There may be another round of large scale WWE talent releases coming soon. Former WWE talent Alex Riley claims he would never sign with AEW. Tony Khan is devastated.

What journey did Steve go on when writing Neurotribes? How was autism first developed? What is the Geek Syndrome? In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas Henley is joined by Steve Silberman to talk about the history and future of autism - Steve is a multi-award winning writer, former writer for Wired and Ally Of The Year award winner for his contributions to the autistic community! They start of the podcast talking about two authors Steve had involvement with during the development stages of their books - Alex Riley in A Cure For Darkness & Dara McAnulty in Diary Of A Young Naturalist - and the background to these standout writers. With the daunting reality of COVID-19, Steve highlights the sly endorsements of eugenics during the pandemic, further exploring the affect COVID has had on the autistic people. In a welcome discussion, the two talk about the recent topic of self diagnosis and Steve's recent award... the Samuel Johnson Prize. Steve started his research into autism following a tech giant cruise across the Alaskan Panhandle where he met the renowned Larry Wall, the inventor of the innovative programming language PERL. In an investigative piece ‘The Geek Syndrome' Steve ignored the ramblings of scared parents around the ‘epidemic of autism' in Silicon Valley, pressing on to look at the strengths demonstrated by autistic tech entrepreneurs. Steve became obsessed with autism and its complex history, pouring his heart, soul and money into the formation of Neurotribes. Highlighting the misconceptions around the conceptualisation of Aspergers Syndrome and the little known past of Asperger's Jewish colleagues, the two delve into the developments that may lie in the future.

Welcome to the next installment of the Brief Tale - Andrew Christian edition. We have a series of 5 AC guys we will be interviewing and releasing over the next few months. The two up first are Nick Mask and Alex Riley. I interview each guy separately, but the two interviews are included because they are so much fun. Each of these guys had me smiling the entire time I talked to them. Nick has been around AC for a while. He's always one of the models you see on the site and constantly promoting AC. Alex is a new guy on the site. He's got a lot of energy and I think we will see a lot more of him in the site. He was a pure joy to interview and I think we were the first to interview him. I hope to get a few of these guys on a show together to talk more!
