Jeran Campanella, widely known as @jeranism was once a leading figure in the Flat Earth community, creating content, debating scientists, and building a large following around his beliefs. His perspective changed dramatically after he joined an expedition to Antarctica, where he witnessed the 24-hour sun, an experience that convinced him the Earth is a globe. Since then, he has openly shared his transformation, facing heavy criticism and backlash from the Flat Earth community, while offering a rare insight into the mindset and journey of someone who publicly changed sides in such a controversial debate. ————————————————————
Some people step into retirement without a clear plan, while others see it as an open canvas. My guest today, Thom Barrett, retired at 55 after a successful career at PriceWaterhouseCoopers and chose to fill his canvas with adventure, creativity, and service. From kayaking off the coast of Antarctica to building furniture in his workshop, Thom has lived a life of bold exploration. Even as he faces stage four cancer, he continues to write, travel, and approach each day with intention. In this episode, we discuss: Why Thom chose to retire early and pursue adventure How travel and time in nature became both refuge and teacher The lessons he's learned about acceptance, vulnerability, and mindfulness Why he began writing books and travel reflections during his illness How he continues to live with purpose and presence despite new limitations Resources: The Edge of Now by Thom Barrett Living While Dying, Chasing My Northern Lights, and more of Thom's books Visit Thom's website

Exploring the intriguing history behind the U.S. Navy's missions to Antarctica and what they were looking for in Operation Highjump. Support us directly: https://www.redwebpod.com In 1946, the U.S. Navy embarked on a mission to the most desolate place in the world: Antarctica. The excursion was short-lived, unorganized, and random; it prompted more questions than answers. Officials claimed it was to gather geographical data, but the world speculated the motives were much more sinister. Today, we're investigating Operation Highjump.

Tonight, we'll read the first half to “The Story of the Herons,” from a collection titled Moonshine and Clover written by Laurence Housman and published in 1922. The second half will air in our next episode. In addition to his fiction and poetry, Housman was a committed activist, championing both women's suffrage and the acceptance of gay people in society. His work often blended lyrical language with a touch of moral allegory, reflecting his interest in social progress. Herons, the birds at the center of tonight's tale, are found on every continent except Antarctica. They are long-legged, long-necked, long-billed freshwater and coastal birds, and include egrets—distinguished mainly by their characteristic white plumage. While they bear a passing resemblance to storks and cranes, herons are easily recognized in flight by the way they tuck their necks back in an elegant S-curve rather than extending them straight out. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

In 1946, the Navy sent 4700 men to Antarctica for—what they claimed—was a training mission that would prepare them for battle in extreme temperatures. But after three months the operation was shut down, sparking rumors that the mission was a cover-up for something else entirely—like finding a hidden Nazi base or a civilization at the center of the earth.For a full list of sources, please visit: sosupernaturalpodcast.com/conspiracy-operation-highjumpSo Supernatural is an audiochuck and Crime House production.

Remember all that "AI is gonna change everything" nonsense the kids were screaming about just a few months ago? Yeah, about that. It turns out 95% of corporate generative AI pilots are, to use a technical term, completely shitting the bed, according to a report from MIT. This shocking revelation has sent Wall Street into a tizzy, wiping trillions off the market as investors suddenly realize they've been sold another bill of goods. Even Sam Altman, the high priest of the AI cult, is now trying to pump the brakes, warning that maybe, just maybe, everyone got a little too excited. Meta, never one to miss a bandwagon it can immediately fall off of, has slammed the brakes on its AI spending and hiring. It's almost like we've seen this movie before, with NFTs, crypto, and every other tech bubble that was supposed to make us all billionaires while we sat on our couches.As if the AI-pocalypse wasn't entertaining enough, the next brilliant idea from Silicon Valley, "agentic AI" browsers, has proven to be dumber than a bag of hammers, happily handing over banking details to obvious phishing scams. Meanwhile, in the land of aging tech bros, Elon Musk is getting his butt handed to him in court by Media Matters, proving that you can't just bully everyone into submission. Not to be outdone in the corporate greed department, Volkswagen wants you to pay a subscription to unlock the horsepower you already own, and Robinhood is trying to convince its users that betting on football games is now called "investing." We're just waiting for them to offer a strategic advisory seat to Donald Trump Jr.... oh, wait.Just to put a fine point on our collective slide into oblivion, it turns out Antarctica is melting about six times faster than it was in the 90s, no doubt powered by the massive natural gas plants being built to run Meta's useless chatbots. But hey, at least we can distract ourselves with new toys! The Flipper Zero, that handy little hacker gadget, can now be upgraded to steal a wide variety of cars, bringing grand theft auto to the masses. So as the sea levels rise and the robots fail, at least we'll have new and exciting ways to commit felonies.

COURTESY BAS A live, off-air, half-hour recording of the BBC World Service special Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast on 21 June 2024 beginning at 21:30 UTC. The broadcast, hosted by Cerys Matthews, featured messages and music for the 47 members of the staff of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) overwintering in Antarctica at the Rothera (Antarctic Peninsula) and King Edward Point and Bird Island (South Georgia) research stations. In addition to personal messages from family and friends, there were interviews with Professor Dame Jane Francis, Director of BAS; Olivier Hubert, a former chef at Rothera and the Halley VI research station; and Nadine Frontier, a marine biologist at King Edward Point; and Allie Clement, an ocean scientist at Rothera. The transmitter came on the air with a test tone (1108 Hz plus harmonics) about a minute before the program started. As sometimes happens, the first few words of the introduction were missed.The recording is of the transmission on 11685 kHz from the BBC's Woofferton, England, transmitting station. The sender had a registered power of 300 kW with antenna beam 182 degrees. The transmission was received on a Belka-DX receiver with a Tecsun AN-03L 7-metre wire antenna outdoors in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada, in pseudo-synchronous (AM2) mode with 50 Hz - 2.7 kHz bandwidth. Reception was quite good with little noise or fading and very good signal strength. The additional parallel frequencies of 9585 kHz from Woofferton and 9870 kHz from Ascension were heard but not as well as 11685 kHz. There was a break in transmission at about the 21-minute mark in the recording for approximately one minute. A studio quality, slightly longer, podcast version is available on the BBC World Service website.

In this episode, Tim and Jean host Kyle Bradford from the Hawthorne Valley's Farmscape Ecology Program. Kyle gave a presentation to the Master Gardener Volunteers of Columbia and Greene Counties on the subject of ants. It was so well received that several MGVs urged the podcast team to invite Kyle to be a guest on the podcast. Kyle holds a MS in Conservation Biology from Antioch University New England and a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Vermont. His career led him to an internship at Hawthorne Valley Farmscape Ecology Program in Columbia County. From there he spent time on the west coast, and eventually returned to become a part of the staff at Hawthorne Valley. Along the way he developed an interest and expertise in ants, and is a contributor to the field guide to the Columbia County ecology and habitats on the subject of ants. Kyle tells us that the field of ants is enormous, regardless of the small size of the individual members. Ants are on every continent except Antarctica, and thrive in every environment from desert to swamp.The biomass of all the ants on the planet exceeds the sum of the biomass of all the wild animals and birds. Some species are known to be endangered, even though we still don't know all the species of ants that exist. Kyle describes the endangered ants as specialized parasites, dependent on another species that may be at risk. They have an important place in biodiversity, being food for various woodpeckers and flickers, and bears. They serve as seed dispersal agents for many wildflowers, which have a special method of rewarding the ants for carrying the seeds away called elaiosomes. They forage and recycle nutrients from dead plants and animals, as well. They use many other tools for survival, including kidnapping other species of ants and enslaving them. Some species herd aphids and feed on the honeydew they produce. There are some populations appearing in Columbia County that were previously known only in Wisconsin and Michigan, with the means of traveling this far east still unknown. They appear in similar environmental habitats, but how they traveled is a mystery. Kyle suggests that Columbia County has a large variety of climate, soil and terrain diversity, which makes it possible for an unusual diversity of flora and fauna to exist in good health. Kyle has considerable experience in New England studying ants, and recommends the Field Guide to the Ants of New England. He adds that since the guide was published, many “new” species have been discovered. Many may have been relocated by virtue of human activities, but many may have been by “hitchhiking” with other species, becoming “temporary parasites,” using “social perfumes.” The methods are many and varied. Apparently because ants are “eusocial,” it's easier for them to take advantage of one another. Kyle discussed the “Manhatt-ant” and the pavement ant, both imports and very adaptable. The Manhattants are getting lots of attention in New York and have interesting adaptive skills. And these are only some of the types of ants living among us. Kyle has several favorites and tells wonderful stories about them and their lifestyles.

Noah Strycker is the Indiana Jones of birding, willing to brave jungle heat and Arctic cold just to spot that rare bunting, owl, or hawk. In 2015, in a quest that spanned 41 countries and all seven continents, he set a world record by finding more than 6,000 different kinds of birds—more than half the bird species on Earth—in a single year. But, as Noah explains in this episode, searching out our feathered friends doesn't necessarily require epic treks across the globe. Sometimes birding is as simple as keeping your eye on a backyard feeder or taking a mindful walk in the woods. It can also be a great part of any road trip in the West, from the canyons of Arizona to the Bering Strait. Noah regales aspiring birders Mitti and Michelle with tales of his own greatest birding adventures and offers tips for anyone who wants to embark on one of their own. Destinations we visit: Madera Canyon, Arizona Point Reyes, California Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, California Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon Nome, Alaska St. Lawrence Island, Alaska Colombia Guyana Birds we observe: American robin Bald eagle Barred owl Choco toucan Great horned owl Harpy eagle Northern pygmy owl Ptarmigan Puffin Red-tailed hawk Ringed kingfisher Sandhill crane Snow goose White-throated sparrow Yellow warbler Guest: Noah Strycker is a writer and photographer based in Eugene, Oregon. He has written several bestselling books, including Birding Without Borders: An Obsession, a Quest, and the Biggest Year in the World and The Thing With Feathers: The Surprising Lives of Birds and What They Reveal About Being Human.

The company is pioneering a new approach to ocean restoration by integrating cutting-edge science into its expedition cruises.Jenn explained, “Our passengers will not only enjoy incredible experiences in pristine polar environments but also witness and even participate in real-time scientific experiments aimed at restoring the ocean's natural balance.” Positive Polar's vision includes biomimicking the ecological role of whales, whose populations have been drastically reduced over the past century. This innovative approach seeks to restore biodiversity and sequester carbon naturally, addressing both environmental and climate challenges.The concept is as unique as it is compelling. While many expedition cruises offer educational activities, Positive Polar makes science central to the experience. Jenn highlighted this distinction, saying, “What we're doing is actually advancing a very specific set of validated—or to be validated—science about ocean restoration.” Guests aboard Positive Polar's ship will witness experiments in ocean restoration, such as using whale biomimicry to grow phytoplankton, which supports marine life and captures carbon.Captain Hugo emphasized the environmental impact of their operations, explaining that the company goes beyond sustainability. “As our ship sails, we'll generate life in our wake by spreading nutrients that restore ocean biodiversity and sequester carbon,” he said. Positive Polar also plans to use carbon-neutral fuels like hydrogen-derived alternatives to minimize emissions.The company is currently raising capital via a regulated crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder. Investors not only gain the opportunity to support ocean restoration but also receive benefits like discounted cruise experiences. As Hugo put it, “Finally, our investors will feel the ship and spread our message. It's a perfect fit.”Positive Polar's model combines a sustainable business approach with science-driven innovation to create both environmental impact and financial returns. With just a small share of the growing expedition cruise market, Positive Polar aims to fund research, restore oceans, and deliver exceptional experiences.By supporting Positive Polar, investors and passengers alike can play a vital role in restoring the oceans to their pre-industrial health.tl;dr:Positive Polar combines expedition cruises with science to restore ocean biodiversity and combat climate change.Jenn and Hugo discussed their innovative whale biomimicry reactor, which transforms waste into ocean-restoring nutrients.The company's use of carbon-neutral fuels and nutrient-spreading ensures minimal environmental impact while sailing.Positive Polar is raising funds through WeFunder, offering both environmental and financial returns for investors.Jenn and Hugo's superpowers—connecting ideas and pragmatic observation—drive the company's mission and innovation.How to Develop Connecting Ideas and Pragmatic Observation As a SuperpowerJenn described her superpower as the ability to connect seemingly unrelated ideas, technologies, and disciplines. She explained, “There should be a way for us to treat waste so it looks like whale poop before it's dumped in the ocean. If it did, it would grow phytoplankton.” This innovative thinking drives Positive Polar's whale biomimicry reactor, a project that transforms waste into ocean-restoring nutrients.Hugo's superpower, on the other hand, is pragmatic observation. He shared how his experiences in Patagonia and Antarctica shaped his perspective. “I saw how the lagoons no longer froze and realized I had to do something,” he said. Hugo's sharp observations led to the creation of Positive Polar, combining tourism with ocean-saving science.Illustrative Story:Jenn's ability to connect ideas is exemplified by her vision for the whale biomimicry reactor. Drawing on her biotech background, she recognized that shipboard waste could be treated to mimic the ecological role of whale feces. This innovation transforms waste into nutrients that grow phytoplankton, restoring marine ecosystems and sequestering carbon.Hugo's story of growing up in Patagonia illustrates his pragmatic observation. When he returned to show his children the winters of his childhood, he found the lagoons no longer froze. This marked a turning point for him, inspiring his mission to restore the oceans through science-backed tourism.Tips for Developing the Superpowers:For Connecting Ideas (Jenn's Superpower):Explore intersections between unrelated fields or disciplines.Leverage your expertise to creatively solve problems in new domains.Collaborate with experts from diverse backgrounds to gain fresh perspectives.For Pragmatic Observation (Hugo's Superpower):Pay close attention to changes in your environment and their implications.Use experiences to identify practical solutions to larger problems.Focus on actionable insights rather than abstract concerns.By following Jenn's example of connecting ideas and Hugo's pragmatic approach to observation, you can develop these skills. With practice and effort, you could turn these into superpowers that enable you to drive meaningful change and do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJenn Bonilla (she/her):President, Positive Polar LLCAbout Positive Polar LLC: Positive Polar is the first expedition cruise company dedicated to funding groundbreaking research and solutions to heal our environment.

This week I'm tackling a topic that's been on my mind for quite some time: Ernest Shackleton and the Endurance Expedition. Shackleton was really a huge failure. Almost everything this man did failed. He failed to reach the South Pole first. He failed to cross the continent of Antarctica. He failed in many business endeavors, tobacco, stamp collecting, a Hungarian mining venture. He failed miserably in politics. He spent most of his life in debt and died penniless in 1922. And yet, the story I'm about to tell you while, yes, an epic failure in many ways, is also one of the greatest success stories of all time. Because, turns out, failure and success are not mutually exclusive and sometimes you must fail in order to truly succeed. Let's fix that. Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineTranscript of Shackleton's voice recording: “Main results of the British Antarctic Expedition of 1907, under my command, are as follows. We reached the point within 97 geographical miles of the South Pole. The only thing that stopped us from reaching the actual point was the lack of 50 pounds of food. Another party reached, for the first time, the South magnetic pole; another party reached the summit of a great active volcano, Mount Erebus. We made many interesting geological and scientific discoveries and had many narrow escapes throughout the whole time. A typical narrow escape was when we were going up the great glacier towards the Pole. We were marching along, three of us harnessed to one sledge, in very bad light. Our last pony was being led by another man with 3,500 pounds of stores. All of a sudden we heard a shout of “Help!” coming from the man behind. We looked around and saw him supporting himself by his elbows on the edge of a cavern. There was no sign of the pony, and the sledge was jammed with its bow in the crevasse. We rushed back and helped the man out, and then hauled the sledge out. Then we laid down to have a look but nothing but a black gulf lay below. The pony may have fallen 1,000 or 1500 feet. Anyhow, he's gone. What had happened was this: We, the first three, with our weight distributed, crossed in safety in the bad light the bridge over an unseen cavern. The weight of the pony following it was too much. It crashed through, but the swingle tree of the sledge snapped, and that saved the sledge. The man leading the pony said that he just felt a rushing sort of wind, the rope was torn out of his hands, he flung himself forward, and thus escaped. After this we four men had 1,000 pounds to pull and we were unable to pull the whole load at once, so we had to relay. That is, we hauled half our load for a mile, then we walked back a mile, and then we hauled the other half up. So for every mile we gained to the south, we had to cover three to do it. And slowly we arose up the largest and the longest glacier in the world, some days spending 12 hours doing 3 miles. Other times spending nearly half the day hauling the sledge up by means of the alpine rope. And thus we went along, and thus, we returned, having done a work that has resulted without, in great advantage to science, and for the first time returning without the loss of a single human life. And throughout all this, I was helped by a party of men who were regardless of themselves and only thinking of the good of the expedition. I, Ernest Shackleton, have today, March the 30th, dictated this in record.”Sources - find at https://youtu.be/PDUblXbiRzwShoot me a message!

#173 - The most powerful journeys often begin in life's darkest moments. When Thom Barrett received his stage four cancer diagnosis, he made a decision that would transform his experience – he would embrace each day fully, intentionally, and with an adventurous spirit that defies conventional expectations.Our conversation with Thom reveals a man who redefined what it means to truly live. A former corporate accountant who retired at 55 to pursue adventure, Thom approaches his terminal diagnosis not as an ending, but as an invitation to deepen his connection with each moment. His definition of adventure resonates deeply: "Adventure doesn't start until you have a problem where you're challenged to figure something out." For Thom, this philosophy applies equally to navigating remote wilderness and living with cancer.Through breathtaking stories of kayaking in Antarctica, hiking Patagonia, and exploring the polar regions, Thom shares how his relationship with adventure evolved from chasing accomplishments to savoring experiences. "It's not about miles anymore, it's not about summits," he explains, "it's about experiences." This shift mirrors his approach to living with cancer – finding richness in slowing down, noticing more, and appreciating what remains rather than mourning what's lost.Thom's vulnerability in discussing his journey as an author is equally compelling. His books, including "Living While Dying" and "The Strength of Surrender," emerged from his need to process emotions and leave a legacy. Perhaps most touching is his revelation about learning to accept help: "What I learned is that asking for help is not a weakness, it's a strength," challenging traditional notions of masculinity and revealing how terminal illness opened pathways to deeper human connection.Whether you're facing health challenges, seeking adventure, or simply wanting to live more fully, Thom's wisdom offers a roadmap for embracing life on deeper terms. As he suggests, "Be a birdwalker, go slow, look around you, enjoy the moment." What better invitation could there be to transform how we experience our precious time?

We talk shop, entertainment, and what performing in Antarctica would look like on #KnewAmsterdamRadio. #WelcomeCitizen. #JenniferCainBirkmose. #TedTalk #TedXTalk #floboboyce #womeninbusiness #seniorcare #podcastsofinstagram
This week we explore the Pharaoh's tomb with Rachel and possibly discover the cause of the Curse of the Pharaoh. What's more, can it cure cancer? Rachel takes a look at Aspergillus fungus, how it causes disease but also has been used in experiments to cure Leukemia. Victoria is up next with a fascinating look at how spiders might be manipulating the flashing of fireflies in order to attract more prey. It's brand new research and wild. Kirk rounds out the show this week with a look at Mt Erebus in Antarctica. Not only is the most active volcano in the southern hemisphere, it has a permanent lava pool surrounded by snow and rains gold on Antarctica. This is a bizarre volcano.

We all need to love and be loved, we all want to feel not alone in this world. And this is true for all of the living world, says ecologist and author Carl Safina. Carl has spent his whole life interacting with the wild, from raising pigeons on a Brooklyn rooftop to trekking through the frozen landscape of Antarctica and the vast African savanna. And one thing he's learned is that humans and animals alike, we're all striving to connect. We're all craving to establish bonds, to reach out, and to hold someone close. We all want to be loved – and to love ourselves.Each episode of Meditative Story combines the emotional pull of first-person storytelling with immersive music and gentle mindfulness prompts.

This week on the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Tania Carmona—a trailblazing ultrarunner, endurance coach, entrepreneur, and the first Mexican athlete to complete the 5 Deserts Grand Slam. From swimming as a national-level athlete in Mexico to conquering some of the toughest environments on Earth, Tania's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless curiosity. Based in Dubai and previously living in Scotland and the U.S., Tania shares her path into ultrarunning—from a reluctant marathon finisher to tackling self-supported races across the Gobi, Atacama, Namib, and Antarctica. We dive into her experience navigating extreme heat, physical stress, and the emotional highs and lows of ultra-endurance. Tania also opens up about the physiological toll of training, dealing with cortisol imbalances, the decision to undergo back surgery, and why she and her husband launched the Ultra Happy Podcast to bring more real, relatable stories to the running world. Whether you're chasing your own desert dreams or looking for inspiration to keep putting one foot in front of the other, this episode is packed with heart, humour, and hard-earned wisdom.

In Episode 615: Miami Mall Monsters, we talk about the mysterious happenings at a Miami mall, where reports of otherworldly creatures have sparked a whirlwind of theories and speculation. Amidst the chaos and confusion, witnesses have emerged, seeming to affirm the presence of these entities. Our discussion navigates through the ideas of Nephilim, portals, and esoteric symbolism, as we attempt to unravel the extraordinary events unfolding in Miami. We discuss the depths of occult practices and their potential connection to these surreal occurrences. Theories suggest that Miami's geographic location, close to mystical portals and power zones, might be a focal point for such unusual manifestations. Adding to the intrigue, the alignment of Miami with esoteric hotspots like Antarctica hints at a larger, hidden tapestry of supernatural events. Could the Miami mall be a gateway to other dimensions, or is it a convergence point for ancient forces? Today, we dissect the possible connections between these mysterious sightings and the arcane knowledge of the Nephilim, portals, and hidden symbols.

In the 1990's, a military doctor found himself serving in one of the most remote outposts on Earth: McMurdo Station, Antarctica. It would be during his 11-month stint that the doctor's worldview would be shattered by a stupefying series of disclosures involving colossal kaiju, international intrigue, mad science, black budget genetic atrocities, archaic abominations and—as if it could get any worse—an army of mutated man-spiders with a taste for human flesh; all of which confirmed that the world's superpowers were not only aware of the malevolent monstrosities roaming the White Continent, but that they were, in fact, doing their best to weaponize them.

A frozen, white world at the far-reaches of the globe, where you're surrounded by snow and silence, might sound rather appealing. Factor in temperatures that drop to -57°C and a few of us might be put off - but for glaciologist Liz Morris, that's very much her happy place.Liz is an Emeritus Associate at the University of Cambridge's Scott Polar Research Institute, and was among the first British women scientists to work on the planet's coldest continent, Antarctica. Over the course of her career, Liz has gathered vital data on polar ice sheets and how they're affected by climate change. She's also made numerous research trips across the Greenland Ice Shelf, and has a glacier named after her in Antarctica.In conversation with Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Liz discusses her fascination with glaciers and ice - and explains her unwavering determination to break into what was once a heavily male-dominated field.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced for BBC Studios by Lucy Taylor Reversion for World Service by Minnie Harrop

It all comes together in our lived experience. Sharing what's real on Act Blue, wierd priests, pregnant women and missing kids. Guatemala stories are self financed. The Higher Good NGO. Property investments are big in Venezuela. There's a bounty now for Maduro. They have 300 years of oil left. An Antarctica trip is in the works. There's more there than just ice and snow. Airport security is a big thing right now. The marathon show is not fresh news. It's time to focus on what the President is telling you. Where is that CCP asset Haspel? She is confirmed as one crazy psycho bitch. In life you make your own opportunities. The J6 committee heard plenty but just sat there. Even Danish Intel was involved. Roger Stone is an inside player. Mike Benz is not always accurate, but he has real value. The Damazean (sp) family group is critical to watch. If our girl is working you, then run. LEMD.com is the bomb. The NAD has been a big help. Who's looking for clarity without distractions? The olfactory system is the only exposed part of the human brain. 7-OH is worse than heroin, and it's in the kid's drinks. Academic blinders hurt us all. With all today's pushed ignorance, we really need a true media.
The Royals got a great win in Boston on Wednesday night, incredibly, it's their 10th straight win in the final game of a series. The whole thing was caught on film as a popular CBS television crime drama was filming at Fenway for an episode this fall. The NFL coughing up the NFL Network for 10% equity in ESPN is one of the great deals of all time. The NFL Network lost a lot of money over the years and now they have their best products on a bigger platform to make even more money. It's controversial to say the least. Patrick Mahomes says he has to be better this year for the Chiefs to succeed and I agree. The real question is how serious he is about it. Is this training camp lip service or does Mahomes really think he has to get better? Putin has indicated he's ready to end the war in Ukraine as Trump is about to level incredible financial hardship on Russia. There's reportedly a summit for next week. Meanwhile, in DC, Trump is calling in the National Guard to make the capitol safe again. An illegal alien in KCK reached fame as part of a Netflix series in 2019 and now he says he can't take it here anymore and is self deporting. You have to hear these details and why this is so perfect. The New Zealand Air Force saves three Americans in Antarctica and Trump is using his paycheck to remodel the White House historical association gift shop.
