Hour 2: We are concerned for Evan Roberts' elbow and it seems to be swollen or something. Boomer thinks it's a ball sack full of pus. We also talked about Brian Cashman and how he's been around so long you could argue he's made a ton of great signings or a ton of bad signings. A caller says Steve Young last night said Saleh lost the locker room by letting players wear Mike White t-shirts. Gio said it's actually the exact opposite. Steve Young supports Zach Wilson as he was a mentor to him and they both went to BYU. Evan Roberts calls in to talk about his odd looking elbow. Jerry is back for an update and starts with Verlander to the Mets. Gio said a bunch of people fell for a fake story with a quote from Kate Upton talking about Yankees fans booing their own. Joe Buck is fired up for MNF. Tom Brady was happy with the win. The Rangers beat the Blues 6-4. In the final segment of the hour, with Jimmy G out for the season, will Baker Mayfield wind up in San Fran? Maybe Kyle Shanahan likes Zach Wilson. Gio thinks the Aaron Judge situation will get announced at 10:01 AM Friday.
Hour 1: We talked about Jacob deGrom leaving the Mets and how it might compare to Aaron Judge and the Yankees. Gio said Evan Roberts is looking at the deGrom situation like he's a 12 year old fan and is not looking at it from the business side. deGrom didn't want to be here no matter what the money was going to be. Boomer said Brian Cashman is telling the truth when he says they have no idea what's going to happen with Aaron Judge. Jerry is here and starts with sound from Brian Cashman on the current Aaron Judge situation. Billy Eppler was on SNY talking about shorter term deals. Bruce Bochy talked about deGrom joining the Rangers. The Bucs beat the Saints with a last second TD by Tom Brady. Kyle Shanahan talked about the possibility of adding Baker Mayfield. Giants/Commanders got flexed to Sunday night. Rob Saleh talked about rolling with Mike White. The Rangers beat the Blues 6-4. In the final segment of the hour, we have audio from Tiki & Tierney and we wonder if Brandon is really pissed or not.

Gio thinks the Aaron Judge situation will get announced at 10:01 AM Friday. Hour 3: Right now the Mets are the third best team in the NL East. We have two 40-year old pitchers. We need another bat. Things are heating up now with baseball off season signings. A caller says mormons don't take their underwear off and it could be an issue in the locker room. Gio said Andy Reid is mormon and needed to have his underwear washed separately when he was head coach of the Eagles. Gio also just yelled, ‘Get some bats' about the Mets. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Tom Brady winning it with a last second TD pass and the point after. Andy Dalton has made almost $100 million in his career. The Giants/Commanders have been flexed to SNF. Rob Saleh says we have not seen the last of Zach Wilson. In the final segment of the hour, Pete Hoffman and Brandon Tierney were fighting about deGrom yesterday. We also took a call from a woman in Florida who wants to know what sneakers we wear. Hour 4: The Yankees are going to freeze Brian Cashman's head so he can be the GM forever. A lingerie model is putting the full court press on Tom Brady looking for a date. She was also at the Bucs game last night. Her name is Veronika Rajek. We took a call who said someone tried to play baseball with Ted Williams' frozen head. Would you rather be frozen, stuffed or cremated? Jerry returns for his last update of the day and has audio of Brian Cashman talking about the Aaron Judge situation. Billy Eppler says the Mets are still looking for arms. Bruce Bochy talked about his first impressions of deGrom. The Bucs won on a last minute TD pass by Brady. Brian Daboll talked about the last 5 games not being good enough. The Rangers beat the Blues last night, 6-4. In the final segment of the hour, we talk about NFL playoff scenarios. Gio asks Boomer to rank these 4 teams: Bills, Pats, Jets, Lions.
Episode 158 (3/02/22): Father, we come to You in weakness, recognizing the children that we truly are… Holy Spirit, bring us to a depth of love and obedience to You never experienced before... Jesus, in our questions, hurts, and fears, may we feel the depth of our true need for You and Your love for us regardless of our weakness and wars… help us. In Your Name we pray and surrender, amen.

Spotemgottem is recovering in a Florida hospital after being shot multiple times in a Miami road rage incident. Law enforcement sources tell indicate... Florida Highway Patrol responded to a road rage incident involving a shooting around 3 AM Friday, with the car the rapper was riding in being shot at least 22 times on the driver's side. Our sources say the driver told troopers he was driving southbound on I-95 when gunshots started ringing out from another car. We're told the driver was shot in his hip, and Spotemgottem suffered gunshot wounds to both legs, and they were both taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
Good morning, RVA! It’s 26 °F, and today you can expect highs in the low 40s and some sunshine. Soak it in, because we’re under a Winter Storm Warning from 1:00 AM Thursday through 7:00 AM Friday. The National Weather Service at Wakefield says to expect a couple inches of snow followed by even more ice, and, yikes, “widespread power outages, significant tree damage, and difficult travel conditions.” Gather your supplies and loved ones and make sure all of your devices are charged!Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,770 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 21 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 251 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 129, Henrico: 81, and Richmond: 41). Since this pandemic began, 722 people have died in the Richmond region. The number of new deaths reported each day has finally started to mirror the precipitous drop we’ve seen in cases over the last couple of weeks. The seven day average of new deaths, 19.9, fell below 20 for the first time since December 4th. Since that date, COVID-19 killed 2,877 people in Virginia. That’s shocking to me, and I had to triple-check my math to make sure it was right.In vaccine news, yesterday morning the Virginia Department of Health launched a statewide COVID-19 vaccine pre-registration form at vaccinate.virginia.gov. This replaces the interest forms you may have already filled out on your local health district website, and, if you already filled out one of those local interest forms, you do not need to fill out this new statewide form. In fact, you should have gotten an email last night (or maybe will get one shortly?) confirming that you’re in the system. You can also verify that you’re in the system by searching for yourself or a loved one by email or phone number on this page. One note: email search (at this moment) is case sensitive so pay attention if your browser autocapitalizes the first letter of your email address! I think, all things considered, the public rollout of this new form—at least from the technology side of things—went pretty well. Remember! This is NOT registering for a vaccine, this is getting in the system! Local health districts will then slice, dice, sort, and prioritize these massive lists of interested humans and work to get them all vaccinated as quickly as possible given the (extremely) limited supply of vaccine.So the technology parts went pretty OK, but from the accessibility side of things, Sabrina Moreno at the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that VDH is still using Google Translate to provide a Spanish version of this new form: “Until about 11 a.m., three hours after the centralized portal allowing Virginians to add their names to a long waiting list went live, there was no Spanish translation…When a Spanish version of the form was added, it was powered by Google Translate and returned a decipherable but faulty product.” This is, to say the least, suboptimal: “On Tuesday, the registration system’s using Google Translate meant ‘your first name’ was translated to ‘nombre de pila.’ The term is rarely used on Spanish forms, and refers to the name given to children upon baptism, or on the ‘baptismal font.’” This should all sound super familiar, because literally one month ago, on January 17th, Moreno reported that VDH had used Google Translate on one of their vaccine FAQs and translated “the vaccine is not required” to “the vaccine is not necessary.”Governor Ralph Northam will hold a press conference today at 2:00 PM, presumably to officially announce the new vaccine pre-registration system and maybe the statewide call center that’s he’s mentioned a couple of times. Tune in over on VPM’s YouTube.Not a lot of details on this, but the RTD’s Kenya Hunter reports on Twittter that Richmond’s School Board met last night and unanimously passed the Superintendent’s proposed budget (3rd District’s Kenya Gibson was not present for the vote). You can download the full proposed FY21–22 budget here (PDF), if you want to flip through it. Additionally, the board discussed a proposed calendar for sort-of-year-round schooling (PDF). I haven’t had time to fully process it yet, but if you’ve already got thoughts you can fill out this survey if you’re a parent or a caregiver or this survey if you’re an RPS teacher or staff. One question I do have, that I’m sure someone out there knows the answer to, is: Are the additional cost for this new calendar included in the budget that the Board just passed?Wyatt Gordon at the Virginia Mercury has a piece about Virginia’s manufactured housing aka mobile homes or trailer homes. This quote from Jonathan Knopf, the ED of the Manufacture Home Community Coalition of Virginia, is fascinating: “[Manufactured homes] are the largest source of unsubsidized affordable housing in the country, but it’s the one that we know the least about.” I know I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about manufactured home communities, and that’s part of the problem, but these neighborhoods are often affordable places for folks to live. Plus they are naturally pretty dense—at least way denser than a couple single-family homes plopped down on the same acreage. Related, the RTD’s Michael Paul Williams has a column up about affordable housingthat includes this excellent quote from Laura Lafayette, the CEO of the Richmond Association of Realtors: “To be blunt, I think we need to have a long, hard, honest conversation about NIMBYism and the ability of neighbors to stop affordable housing developments in their tracks.”Today, City Councilmembers have the first day of their two-day virtual retreat. This is when they all get together and learn how the City Council works within Richmond’s…unique…government structure. I don’t know why it takes place this deep into the year, but I’m sure there’s a good reason. If you’re interested in what all they’ll learn, download this 168-page PDF packet that includes the City Charter, org charts, Roberts Rules of Order, and a pretty nitty-gritty look at how stuff gets done in Council. This is a good and useful PDF! Store it away for later reference.This morning’s patron longreadThe Hard-Partying, Rock-Obsessed Nurse at the Center of a Massive Opioid BustSubmitted by Patron Susan. I think my takeaway from this article is that people love their drug dealer.It doesn’t sound like much of a sell—a middle-aged man doling out medical advice in a city midway between Memphis and Nashville. But Young was eager to let the world know that he was no typical nurse practitioner. Throughout Jackson, he had created for himself a reputation as a rock-and-roll renegade, happily showing off his piercings, tattoos, and goatee. He blasted heavy metal at his private practice and filled his Instagram feed with photos of himself smoking cigars. In his frequent social-media updates, he would drink and flip off the camera. Though he was not an M.D., Young christened himself “the Rock Doc.”If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.Picture of the DaySnowy housing!

In this week’s episode we have something very special! The podcast ventured outside the realm of the comfortable office chair and laptop which normally facilitate these conversations. Here we found ourselves in the midst of our guests niche. The American Horrorplex in Louisville, Ky. is where this week’s nightmarish chat takes place. We spoke with the owners of this fantastic haunt, Travis Boling and Matt Clayton. They each shared with us how the haunt came to be and how they actually met each other and later went on to get married. Each of them shared beautiful stories about their lives in the business and how they created something that goes far beyond simply looking for the next good scare. I also had the chance to converse with Scott Morgan, Emily Moss, and Lucian Thomes who each shared their reasons for working in the scare business, along with laying to rest some of the misconceptions people have about those who work in this business. I hope everyone enjoys this fantastic episode with a bunch of great people!

049 The One with James McDonald, Again Episode 49: Show Notes Scaling UP! Nation!, you know that I believe you get out of our industry what you put into our industry. This is my normal response to when someone asks me why I train others, why I volunteer for trade organizations and especially why I do this podcast. I truly believe that you should teach what you know. Educate yourself and you get smarter, teach what you know, and you get even smarter (because a teacher needs to know content better than a student) and the person you are teaching gets smarter. Did you see what just happened in that scenario? The industry of that particular topic just got better. My guest today is no stranger to that way of thinking. James McDonald is a champion for the water treatment industry. He is continuously finding new and innovative ways to share information. We had James on the show almost one year ago. Since that time, he has some new things he has been working on he wants to share with the Scaling UP! Nation! As we wrapped up 2017, The Scaling UP! Nation! was given the CWT Challenge! This was when I ask every member of the Nation! To take their career seriously and go after the highest designation we have in our industry, the CWT! I am happy to say that well over 100 people have contacted me saying that they had the CWT in their sights. AWESOME!! I wanted to take a moment and recognize those who have received their CWT this year. Don't forget, next week is Industry Water Week. Join me each and every day next week for a special themed episode.

047 The One with the Guy Who Writes About Water Episode 47: Show Notes I think it is safe to say that the majority of the Scaling UP! Nation! is on one or more social media platforms. I try to post news about my upcoming podcast on social media, mainly LinkedIn. Social Media is how we stay connected in today’s world. In fact, many of you found out about the Scaling UP! podcast from LinkedIn. In an effort to stay sharp for the Scaling UP! Nation!, I try to read as much as I can. From books to articles, you just never know what fodder is out there that you can turn into a good episode. During my assimilation of this data, I ran across Jim Lauria on LinkedIn. Jim wrote a very intriguing article about Leonardo DaVinci and water. It was fascinating. I enjoyed not only the article but the way that in which Jim wrote it. This led me to start reading other articles written by Jim. If you are connected with me on LinkedIn, you have seen me share many of them. Since connecting on LinkedIn, Jim and I have shared several insights and conversations. Jim is a renaissance man when it comes to water, in his own right. On today’s episode Jim shares with us not only his passion for writing about water but also some tips about promoting yourself on LinkedIn. We even sneak in a few words on “Mind Mapping.” Do you even know what that is? I though I was the only one… Please enjoy my interview with Jim Lauria. More about Jim: Jim Lauria is Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Mazzei Injector, a fluid design company that manufactures mixing and contacting systems. He is a leader in the water treatment field with a proven track record of revenue growth, profit improvement and new business development. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree from Manhattan College, Jim has traveled the world benchmarking the best water management practices. He lives in San Francisco with his wife Laurie Lauria, who fills his life with love, laughter, and alliteration.

Upcoming events: AWT annual Convention September 26 –29 in Orlando Fl Here are some times you want to mark on your schedule. Scaling UP! Meet UP! at the AWT convention 10:00 AM Thursday (Immediately following the Keynote) We will hold a Scaling UP! MeetUP! In Chiller Lounge (located in the exhibit hall). 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM - Friday, Water Management Plan from the Water Treaters Prospective. The One with Conor Parrish The One with Michelle Farmerie 3:30 PM -4:30 PM - Friday, Understanding Young Professionals: The What’s, How’s and Why’s for Our Industry. I will be moderating (not a young professional…) 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM - Saturday, (The field evaluation of using Polyamines in Closed Loop and cooling systems) I will also be walking around the exhibit hall reporting on who is exhibiting and all the cool stuff you need to know about to help your water treatment business. I’d love it if you see me, come up and say hi! You may even get on the air. And the craze in the Scaling UP! Nation! is all about “how do I get a Scaling UP! Button?” Well, come find me and I will give you one. Select vendors in the exhibit hall will also be giving those out. As you can see, I am going to be very busy at this year’s convention. If that didn’t get you excited enough, we have even more coming up on the water treatment calendar”. Industrial Water Week October 1-5, 2018 Since this is our holiday and the first time it has ever been offered, I want to do something special. I will be doing an episode each day during industrial water week! I know what you are thinking, that’s a lot of work, wow Trace you are awesome… Well... I am… but I can’t do it without you. So here is my ask: I need you to go to Scalinguph2o.com and click on the “Send Voicemail” button on the right side of the screen. You can leave a question for me to answer on the air during Industrial Water Week. I’m looking for questions on: Pretreatment Boilers Cooling Wastewater And Careers I will either answer your question or have somebody who is a leader in that particular field answer your question. I’ve never done anything like this, so thanks for helping me make it happen! Now let me leave you with this thought: Are you doing water treatment to the best of your ability or our you doing water treatment the best it can be done? Think about that, have you plateaued? Many of us get to a certain point and then settle. Don’t’ settle, push yourself to be better. You deserves it, your company deserves it, your customers deserve it and most of all the industry deserves it. It’s my hope that this podcast helps motivate you to get there and let’s all Scale UP! On information so we don’t scale up our systems. Have a great week folks!
046 The One About Phosphate Testing Episode 46: Show Notes If you have ever listened to my show, you know I am totally dependent on your suggestions on what I should be talking about. Today’s show is straight from the “Scaling UP! Mailbag!" You ask for it, so here it is… Phosphate… (Tap...Tap) Is this thing on? Yes, I said Phosphate. Believe it or not, questions around phosphate top my list of the most asked questions from the Scaling UP! Nation! So, who am I to argue. Phosphate it is... I have also taken this opportunity to play “Mythbuster” Scaling UP! Style. A few months ago, several blogs and listservs started talking about using a particular device used for digestion in phosphate testing. The device is called the SteriPen and it was developed for outdoor lovers to sterilize their drinking water. Many water treaters have found that it could be used as the ultra violet source in the phosphate digestion process (azole too.) The aforementioned post alluded that the SteriPens would not work for this purpose. Join me as I take the Nation! though how I explored these questions myself. You will hear how I take my own advice of, “Trust but verify” (I think Ronald Reagan said that) when you get water treatment opinions. I also get a little help from my friends (John Lennon said this one) by interviewing people that have been using the SteriPen and who developed the SteriPen.

Between the hours of 3 AM and 5 AM Friday morning, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump went on a tweetstorm in which he was, you know, just saying that Hillary Clinton helped former Miss Universe (and a target of Trump’s misogyny) Alicia Machado become a US citizen “so she could use her in the debate.” Is that true? Like, almost certainly not—but in this election season, truth and facts hardly seem to matter. Trump's attacks on Machado are just the latest data point in an election cycle that has seen wild speculation, rampant exaggeration, and outright lies become accepted as fact by huge swaths of the electorate on both sides of the aisle. If we’re living in a post-factual era, how did we get here? Vincent F. Hendricks set up the Center for Information and Bubble Studies at the University of Copenhagen to study how individual and media behavior online has created a reality where virality, social spread, and repetition is all that’s required for people to believe something is true. While “facts” haven’t gone totally by the wayside, the way we cherry pick facts to make alternate realities has created a political system (and a culture) where we can’t have rational arguments because we can’t even agree on a baseline of truth. Radio Motherboard spoke to Hendricks about this week’s debate and about his new book, Infostorms, which explores how our likes, upvotes, retweets, coupled with social media algorithms and brash politicians with a disregard for the truth are redefining rational society.
