Blake and Jeb crash headlong into S05E04 of In Search Of... on the topic of Daredevil Death Wish. Episode Summary This In Search Of episode asks a surprisingly straightforward question for this show: what drives daredevils to risk their lives? Rather than chasing aliens or cryptids, the episode plays it remarkably straight - functioning more as a documentary about stunt performers than the paranormal-adjacent fare we've come to expect. After a montage of vintage stock footage the episode profiles several working daredevils: Pat Jackson, a 42-year-old housewife who rides motorcycles through flaming boards; Roger Kober, a 22-year-old whose "slide for life" goes wrong on camera; Hank Wise and his "Iron Man" act (letting a truck drive over his body); and Chuck Strange, a demolition derby natural turned pickup-truck pilot whose Astrodome crash nearly killed him. The episode's most substantive segment features Kim Kahana's stunt school in California, where the veteran stuntman trains young performers in the difference between a daredevil ("a guy who just says, let's do it") and a professional who uses illusion and safety. Psychologist Dr. Samuel Z. Klausner provides the academic frame, describing stress-seeking as almost addictive - the euphoria of overcoming fear becomes a need that grows stronger with each attempt. Notably, the episode is produced by the same team behind That's Incredible!, yet takes a far more restrained, documentarian approach than that show's sensationalist style. The result is one of the most credible episodes of In Search Of we've encountered - and, consequently, one of the least weird. **EXTENSIVE NOTES AT PATREON**

ITL plays Prospect Profile Pick'em, breaking down draft prospects and debating which players they'd take depending on the scenario, fit, and value for the Houston Texans. The guys compare skill sets, upside, and how each prospect could impact the team moving forward as the draft approaches. Then it's Figgy's Mixtape, where Figgy shows love with a birthday shoutout to his wife, plus a look back at the history of the Astrodome along with where things currently stand, and more trending stories that bring a mix of fun and nostalgia.

ITL covers a full show starting with the Houston Astros and the big question—are they already in crisis mode or is it too early to panic—as the guys break down pitching struggles and what needs to change. The conversation then shifts to the Houston Texans with a draft debate on what position would justify trading up, followed by Around The NFL discussions on whether this could be a trade-heavy draft. ITL also previews the Houston Rockets matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers and what's actually at stake as Houston looks to build momentum. The show dives into a bigger-picture conversation on how long it takes to know if a coach doesn't have it, plus Lunch-Time Confessions with Lopez calling out something at The Masters, and OG's Buy or Sell on trending sports takes. ITL wraps with Prospect Profile Pick'em as they break down draft prospects and closes with Figgy's Mixtape, featuring a birthday shoutout, a look back at the Astrodome, and more trending stories, along with a QOTD on which Houston player you'd put in their prime.

On Friday's show: We check in on the status of long wait times at Bush Intercontinental Airport amid a partial government shutdown. And the UH Cougars were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament with a loss to Illinois last night. We recap the game.Also this hour: From repurposing the Astrodome to the high-speed rail line between Houston and Dallas, there are some big -- potentially visionary -- projects in Greater Houston that never quite come to fruition. We consider some of the reasons why.Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.And Houston's EZ Band, which brings Tejano flavor to covers of modern pop songs, performs for us in studio.Watch

We have made it to WrestleMania X-Seven. Cindy and Ryan look at one of the most highly-regarded WrestleMania's ever, WrestleMania X-Seven from the Astrodome in Houston. Taking place just a week after the sale of WCW, the pinnacle of the Attitude Era, does this show stand the test of time? We'll discuss this and so much more! Quick run down of the sale of WCW and how Vince McMahon reigns supreme. The Chris Jericho/William Regal feud centering on Jericho besmirching Regal's tea.  Some of the lower matches on the card stalling a bit, but at least being quick energetic matches. The goofiness of the Hardcore title match, including golf carts.  Test's foot getting stuck in the rope. Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle having a well put together if not hastily built match. The show going on quite the hot streak of 5 matches to end it. The culmination (at least for 2 hours) of all of Mr. McMahon's asshole-ness. TLC II being an instant classic with everyone involved going all out, including each team's second. WWF embracing nostalgia and having the Gimmick Battle Royal, including the return of Mean Gene and Bobby Heenan. Undertaker and Triple H having a great match, that would have been even better without showing a crucial replay.  Steve Austin and the Rock having another instant classic with one of the best Attitude Era main event style matches, ending with the shocking Austin heel turn, although the crowd isn't reacting that way. We look at the next two weeks of Raw where it is full steam ahead with the Austin heel turn, featuring a further beat down of the Rock, allying with Triple H and then attacking the Hardy Boyz and Lita.  Enjoy the show!

In the final hour of the Chase & Big Joe Show, the guys chatted with the great John McClain. John shared his initial thoughts on the USA winning gold in hockey. John spoke on the possibility of hockey in Houston. Switching gears tothe  NFL, what will Houston do with the Astrodome? Listen to hear more. Chase & Big Joe shared their thoughts on how they might feel emotionally when Nissan Stadium is demolished for the new Nissan Stadium. To end the show, as always, the guys played Celebrity Birthdays.

With the Steelers hosting Houston this weekend for a Wild Card matchup, it's only fitting to go back in time and rebroadcast a Retro Show in which the Steelers were in a similar situation. The 1989 Steelers started out the season in a terrible way. They lost to the Browns and Bengals by a combined score of 92-10 to open the season. But Chuck Noll's team rebounded to finish at 9-7 and squeak into the playoffs only to have to face their arch-nemesis, Houston, in the Wild Card. Many thought the Steelers would easily go 0-3 against the Oilers for the year, but the Men of Steel had other plans. The Steelers visit to the Astrodome to closed-out the 1980s. December 31st of that year is the main topic that will be discussed on the a special rebroadcast of the Retro Show. Join SCN's veteran duo of Tony Defeo and Bryan Anthony Davis as they set adrift on memory bliss in the year that brought as a George Bush inauguration, Andrew “Dice” Clay, Field of Dreams and the Steelers near the doorstep of the Super Bowl.

Samuel Barrett is author of "Orange Crush: The Neglected 1971 Houston Astros" (Huntsville Independent Press 2025).

He shares why he chose the CFL out of college, what it meant to become a trailblazing Black quarterback in the NFL, and the pride of being enshrined in both the Canadian and Pro Football Halls of Fame.Warren and Jimmy dig into leadership and longevity: the mindset that carried him through 23 seasons, how he led locker rooms without the “rah-rah,” and why ownership–coach–QB alignment matters most. They revisit the infamous Bills comeback, the grind of short-week Thursday games, old-school Astrodome turf burns, and how today's rules, 17- (soon 18-) game schedules, fantasy, and betting have reshaped football. You'll also hear fun throwbacks—Tecmo Super Bowl rockets, an NBA Jam cameo—and a candid look at player safety: concussions, CTE awareness, and the gear and practice changes Warren wishes existed in his era.00:00 Introduction02:00 Early days, CFL success, and making it to the NFL06:30 Breaking barriers as a Black quarterback & handling pressure10:30 Houston Oilers years, playoff battles, and leadership lessons15:30 Evolution of the NFL: rules, fantasy football, and betting20:00 Player safety, concussions, and the cost of the game23:00 Memorable moments, tough stadiums, and the Bills comeback26:42 Outro

Baseball was king in the mid 70's and 1975 was a banner year for the National Pastime. After a decade in the dumps, attendance was booming all over the league with the Reds drawing a team record 2.3 millions fans, 2nd only to the Dodgers in all of baseball… and it was no surprise that the Red Sox led all AL teams in putting fans in seats with 1.75 million visiting Fenway that season. Those two teams would then square off in a World Series that 50 years later is considered an all-time classic. Overall baseball drew 29 million fans… its the last time MLB drew under 30 million fans in a full season of play… and soon, teams were regularly attracting 2 million fans to their games annually… in fact, by 2001, 20 of the 30 teams had more than 2 million fans in attendance including both Oakland and Pittsburgh… and 8 had more than 3 million coming through the turnstiles. Baseball was exploding… the days of small crowds were over… and so the powers that be at MLB set their sights on a new generation of fans and how to grow the game for those who couldn't attend in person. Enter Dinn Mann… hired by MLB in '01 to lead the MLBAM division (Advanced Media) the longtime journalist and even longer fan of the game, Mann came to New York with a plan and in the next 15 years, he executed it perfectly. MLB.TV was born, and MLB.com. Oh, and that MLB app on your phone… that too… and before long, the game was being seen, and downloaded, and streamed to the tune of $600 million in revenue per year.  In other words, MLB hired the right guy. Mann's infectious attitude helped spearhead a digital revolution on the diamond, and the fans were happily going along for the ride whether it be with their TV, their laptop or their phone. Play ball, play ball and play ball! Dinn joins us on the Past Our Prime podcast to tell us what was different at the turn of the century compared to 50 years ago and how they used the momentum of an ever increasing fan base to do what many, including Mark Cuban said, was impossible... Baseball was covering baseball… and the fans couldn't get enough of it. Mr. Mann tells us how he told his crew never tell me how we did things last year… tell me how we're going to do things this year. He's a visionary in every sense of the word and as the grandson of the man who owned the Astros and built the Astrodome, Dinn is a lifelong fan of the game. It's in his blood. And you can hear that passion when he talks about the game of today… how blackouts are the biggest issue for fans and what the owners and players can do to avert a labor stoppage in 2027. And he reflects back on his time at MLB including a morning, afternoon and evening in March of 2015 when he helped create a day where  comedic superstar Will Ferrell donned the cap of the A's…I mean, White Sox… I meant to say, Dodgers… Mariners, Angels, Cubs, Reds, Giants, Padres and D'Backs in Arizona and played 10 positions for 10 teams in about 10 hours! A great day for baseball… a great day for Dinn Mann… and for the 16 years Mann was at MLB… that happened quite a bit. If you like baseball half as much as Dinn does, and you want an inside look at how the game got better and can get better, listen up to a man… the Mann… who knows a thing or two about the inner-workings of MLB.

From The Desk of Geddy Lee...Ozzy Osbourne: Fearless. One of a kind. Played by no one's rules. “I remember listening to the first Sabbath album when it came out and thinking how ‘effin' heavy' Tony Iommi's guitar sounded,” said Geddy Lee. “Ozzy and his bandmates were at the forefront of that genre, that brand of Metal, and Ozzy was an intensely loved, one of a kind performer.We never got to play on the same bill with Black Sabbath, and in fact we only ever did two gigs with Ozzy, at the Texxas Jam at the Cotton Bowl in June of 1984 (poster attached) and the other at the Astrodome.Rush recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales at the same time in the late 70's and I recall Ozzy poking his head in the control room to ask if he could “borrow” some Hashish from Neil! For years afterwards, Neil relished telling the story of how “Ozzy owes me some hash”

It's 2014 and Amy Daughters is a forty-six-year old stay-at-home mom living in Dayton, Ohio. She returns to her hometown of Houston over the Thanksgiving holiday to discuss her parents' estate—and finds herself hurled back in time. Suddenly, it's 1978, and she is forced to spend thirty-six hours in her childhood home with her nuclear family, including her ten-year old self. Over the next day and a half she reconsiders every feeling she's ever had, discusses current events with dead people, gets overserved at a party with her parents' friends, and is treated to lunch at the Bonanza Sirloin Pit. Besides noticing that everyone is smoking cigarettes, she's still jealous of her sister, and there is a serious lack of tampons in the house, Amy also begins to appreciate that memories are malleable, wholly dependent on who is doing the remembering. In viewing her parents as peers and her siblings as detached children, she redefines her difficult relationships with her family members and, ultimately, realizes that her life story matters and is profoundly significant—not so much to everyone else, perhaps, but certainly to her. Amy's guide said her trip back in time wouldn't change anything in the future, but by the time her thirty-six hours are up, she's convinced that she'll never be the same again. where I came from  It all started when Dick and Sue Weinland hooked up at an apartment complex in Houston, Texas. Four years later, after things had gotten quite cozy, I was born just a few short miles from the Eighth Wonder of the World, a.k.a. – the Astrodome. I blossomed into womanhood north of H-Town, in Spring, Texas, where I attended Klein Oak High School. From there, it was on to the Princeton of the Texas Panhandle – THE Texas Tech University – and just five glorious years later, a Bachelor of Business Administration degree.  That's when it became time for me to not only enter the world of business (I was in the purchasing arena for a decade) but to do my own hooking up and child creating. The plot twist that brings us to the rest of the story was my husband's job moving us to England for three years. Finding myself temporarily without employment, I did the next obvious thing and became a writer. 

We have an update on the Astrodome. Website

After a Father's Day return from their week-off hiatus, The Dome Foamers kick things off with heartfelt Dad shout-outs before diving into the Astros' sizzling 5-1 week that has them perched atop the West. They debate questionable lineup construction and roster shuffles—complete with hot takes on benching familiar faces, Cam Smith's first-ever walk-off , and Hunter Brown's electric mound work. They wrap with Dome Foam Players of the Week, buy/sell season win projections, and a tongue-in-cheek nod to the only rainout in Astrodome history (plus the 37th anniversary of Bull Durham).

It's Friday so we're recapping the week that was in Houston.

On Friday's show: There are numerous protests against President Donald Trump's policies planned across the country this weekend, including here in Greater Houston. A local Congressman offered more federal help to deal with potential riots in Houston, but local leaders expressed doubt about whether that would be needed here. But could scenes like we saw in Los Angeles of protestors clashing with police in riot gear against the backdrop of burned cars happen here? We consider Houston's history of protesting for some insight.Also this hour: From law enforcement cracking down on people allegedly trying to sneak into the Astrodome, to delivery drones from Walmart headed Houston's way, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.Then, restaurant owner Courtney Lindsay only learned the identity of his biological father a year ago.

In 1965, the world's first full enclosed sports facility, the Houston Astrodome, was opened to the public.  The Astrodome itself was a marvel of engineering, but because it was enclosed, the grass that was initially planted soon died.  It was replaced with artificial grass, which was basically a synthetic carpet that looked like grass but played and behaved totally differently.  Today, the next generations of that artificial grass can be found in stadiums all over the world. Learn more about artificial turf, how it was created and improved over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The current football student-athletes of the NESCAC are probably too young to envision a crowd of fans in the Astrodome chanting "Let them play!" about the Bad News Bears. They are too young to remember the Astrodome. And they are nothing like the Bad News Bears, but still, the powers-that-be in the New England Small College Athletic Conference have not allowed their conference teams to participate in the Division III football playoffs. Ever. Because the Ivy League does it that way, right? Well, that's changing, starting this year, and a group of NESCAC student-athletes are organizing on their campuses to make sure that they don't get left behind, or pushed off another year. That's the NESCAC Football Players Association (NESCACFBPA), a group representing football student-athletes at all 10 member schools, and we talk with a number of them on this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. This edition of the podcast is sponsored by GameStrat: The Most Reliable & Fastest In-Game Video Replay System on The Market. D-III football coaches should click here to learn more. The presidents of the NESCAC need to act now, not wait and make these student-athletes wait for another year when they have waited for generation after generation already. Hear from Vaughn Seelicke of Tufts, Jack Lucido of Wesleyan, Parker Huynh-Benningfield of Bates, Aidan Moss of Middlebury and Justin Keller of Tufts about the issues, what they learned from Ivy League student organizers, and how they are working to make this happen here, in 2025. In addition, we chat with new Lewis & Clark head coach Brett Elliott. Yes, that's the Brett Elliott who has been offensive coordinator at Linfield, who led Linfield to a national title as a quarterback and was the 2005 D3football.com Offensive Player of the Year. He'll talk about the quick and efficient interview process, how he found out who his leaders are on his new team, and what he did on his first weekend on the job. Plus we update the Cortland coaching search, and take your questions, many of them, and more in this edition of the podcast, as we start Season No. 19.
