Iowa State just cancelled the rest of its season!? We discuss the implications of this. Plus our interview with former Oregon State gymnast, Risa Perez on her college career, her switch from ASU (where the coach would be fired soon after) to Oregon State, and her TikTok about her college experience that gained lots of attention.  HEADLINES Iowa State announced it's cancelling the rest of the season. WHAT!? Listen to our discussion on College and Cocktails ''It became apparent we do not have enough student-athletes available to safely compete,'' Iowa State Senior Associate Athletics Director, Shamaree Brown said in a statement  College & Mocktails with special guest, Cal gymnast and World medalist, Ondine Achampong: Cal @ Clemson INTERVIEW: RISA PEREZ If there were one word to describe Risa Perez's gymnastics, it would probably be energy. From her spunky floor choreography and unique beam elements (hello there, front aerial to one-armed back handspring!) to her ability to engage and interact with the crowd, her gymnastics stood out. Perez began her collegiate career at Arizona State before transferring to Oregon State for her junior year in 2014. The 2016 Pac-12 beam champion hit 102 out of 110 total routines throughout her collegiate career. Perez qualified as an individual to the 2015 and 2016 NCAA Championships.

Most B2B marketing fails for one simple reason: it forgets how persuasion actually works.That's why Mad Men still hits. Beneath the suits, pitches, and personal drama, it's a masterclass in what actually moves people. In this episode, we break down its B2B marketing takeaways with the help of our special guest  Fahad Muhammad, Former VP of Marketing at TealBook.Together, we explore why fundamentals matter more than tactics, why emotion drives demand, and how originality is the only real advantage left in modern B2B marketing.About our guest, Fahad MuhammadFahad is a revenue-centric and data-driven marketing leader with 17 years of experience in strategic marketing at severalSaaS/Tech companies ranging from start-ups, SMBs to enterprise organizations. Specializing in demand creation and generation, he takes a data driven approach to identify unique growth opportunities in order to drive revenue and foster meaningful connections with customers. He is a diehard college football fan (Sun Devil for life!) and attends ASU's homecoming game each fall. An avid reader, he loves to read with a cup of his favorite coffee in hand.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Mad Men:Anchor on positioning before you touch tactics. Fahad's biggest takeaway from Mad Men is that modern B2B often skips the hard thinking and jumps straight to execution. The show strips marketing back to its core, and the lesson is uncomfortable in its simplicity. As he puts it, “This discipline is around three core things. It's about positioning, it's about having a very compelling piece of creative… and then the last piece is really understanding who your audience is.” The danger for B2B teams is mistaking activity for strategy. If positioning is fuzzy, no amount of optimization will save it. Get the foundation right first, or everything else is just noise.Emotion is the real differentiator. Fahad makes it clear that cutting through the noise is about resonance. He says, “Something that does speak to us, no matter what medium [it's in], is always going to cut through the noise.” Mad Men works because it understands human psychology hasn't changed, even if the channels have. For B2B marketers, the lesson is simple: logic might justify the purchase, but emotion earns attention. If your message doesn't connect at a human level, it won't survive the noise long enough to matter.Originality beats borrowed playbooks. Fahad warns that one of the fastest ways for B2B brands to disappear is by copying what already worked for someone else. Mad Men celebrates originality because it shows how differentiation is built through conviction, not consensus. As Fahad puts it, “They're not taking the shortcut route of copy pasting or referencing creative… they are elevating themselves and going through their own version of creative.” In a world where everyone has access to the same tools, the only sustainable advantage is saying something true in a way only you can. That's what people remember.Quote“  Everybody has the same access to the tools now. They can do the same thing. And the playing field is more level than ever. So how do you now cut through the noise? It still goes back to the core elements of: How strong is your positioning? How strong is your creative? Are you really thinking [that] this is going to cut through the noise and is it going to move people?”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Fahad Muhammad, Former VP of Marketing at TealBook[01:37] Why Mad Men?[04:28] Role of VP of Marketing at TealBook[05:20] Behind-the-Scenes of Mad Men[09:21] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Mad Men[32:08] The Role of AI in Marketing[42:43] How to Connect Content to Your Marketing Strategy[45:44] Advice for First-Time VPs of Marketing[47:19] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Fahad on LinkedInLearn more about TealBookAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

"Sincerely held religious belief" is now a common phrase in discussions of American religious freedom, from opinions handed down by the US Supreme Court to local controversies. The "sincerity test" of religious belief has become a cornerstone of US jurisprudence, framing what counts as legitimate grounds for First Amendment claims in the eyes of the law. In Sincerely Held: American Secularism and Its Believers (U Chicago Press, 2022), Charles McCrary provides an original account of how sincerely held religious belief became the primary standard for determining what legally counts as authentic religion. McCrary skillfully traces the interlocking histories of American sincerity, religion, and secularism starting in the mid-nineteenth century. He analyzes a diverse archive, including Herman Melville's novel The Confidence-Man, vice-suppressing police, Spiritualist women accused of being fortune-tellers, eclectic conscientious objectors, secularization theorists, Black revolutionaries, and anti-LGBTQ litigants. Across this history, McCrary reveals how sincerity and sincerely held religious belief developed as technologies of secular governance, determining what does and doesn't entitle a person to receive protections from the state. This fresh analysis of secularism in the United States invites further reflection on the role of sincerity in public life and religious studies scholarship, asking why sincerity has come to matter so much in a supposedly "post-truth" era. Dr. Charles McCrary is a scholar of American religion, focusing on secularism, religious freedom, race, and science. His work has been published in academic journals including the Journal of the American Academy of Religion, Religion & American Culture, and Religion. He also has written for popular outlets such as Religion & Politics, The Revealer, and The New Republic, many of which are linked in the show notes of this episode. Before coming to ASU, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis.

Alex Jensen on Runnin' Utes 71-63 Loss vs ASU

Alex Jensen on Runnin' Utes 71-63 Loss vs ASU

After a couple of rebuilding seasons, Arizona State softball got back to the postseason last year and heads into 2026 with eyes on making a deep run. One of the keys to that turnaround has been the play of Tanya Windle. A Peoria native, she dreamed of playing for the Sun Devils since she was young. However, life threw a curve, and she ended up elsewhere to begin her college career. But a dynamic freshman season, coupled with a new staff in Tempe, helped her realize her dream. Now, she's among the nation's elite outfielders. On this episode, we discuss her softball journey, her approach at the plate, why ASU means so much, and a fateful countdown on a whiteboard, and more.  

A Georgetown University study shows that 58% of the houses built since 2010 have been four bedrooms or more, but half of the apartments built in that time have been one bedrooms or studios. Kimberly Winson, clinical professor and director of ASU's division of real estate joins to explain what this means for Phoenix.

The 27-day wait for a head coach is over, but the questions are just beginning. From the Phoenix Suns' rollercoaster weekend to the Arizona Cardinals settling for a "Plan B" hire in the middle of a same-day fire drill, The Valley Verdict holds the organization accountable to the data.In this episode:00:00 - Welcome 15:43 - The 2-Minute Warning: We recap a wild weekend in 120 seconds. We track the Suns' back-to-back wins over Detroit and Cleveland, the reality check against the Clippers, and the "halftime hope" that faded for ASU in the Territorial Showdown against #1 UofA. Plus, the breaking news of the Mike LaFleur hire.18:08 - THE ABSOLUTE VERDICT: The Scramble for Plan BThe Same-Day Optics: Klint Kubiak says "No" to the Valley and "Yes" to Vegas. We discuss the fire drill that led to the Mike LaFleur hire just hours later.The Theo Mackie Receipt: We break down the statistical proof of ineptitude. Why family-owned teams without an outside President make the playoffs only 28% of the time compared to 48.5% for those that do.The Price of a Winner: Would you trade Darius Robinson and Max Melton for Sean Payton? We explain why we'd do it 10 times out of 10 to fix the culture.27:26 - Personnel Study: Mike LaFleurThe Dual-Tree Hybrid: We trace LaFleur's journey from the Shanahan lab in Atlanta to the McVay lab in LA.The Brotherly Blueprint: How the connection between Matt and Mike LaFleur creates a "shared DNA" system that Kyler Murray has to master.The Adaptation Challenge: Can a coach who has spent his career with Matt Ryan and Matthew Stafford adapt his scheme to the most unique athlete in the NFL?37:32 - Media Reactions: The 98.7 Counter-PunchWolf & Luke: What should Mike LaFleur's actual plan be for Kyler Murray?Burns & Gambo: The comparison is in. Can Mike LaFleur replicate the cultural and structural success of Jordan Ott in his first season?The Verdict: Is hiring Mike LaFleur the day your top choice rejects you a sign of a "deliberate process," or is it officially time to call the Cardinals a joke?

2026 will be a new era for Sun Devil quarterbacks, and all eyes will be on the position in spring and fall camps to see who will take the reins. Among the hopefuls is redshirt freshman Cam Dyer, who is the only returner in the group. His high school career saw him put up video game numbers, a four-star recruiting rating, and two Gatorade Player of the Year awards in his home state of New Mexico. He committed to ASU prior to his senior year, interestingly as a wide receiver, not a quarterback. However, a torn ACL near the end of his prep days had him begin his time in Tempe rehabbing. Making the switch back to quarterback, he put in the work, recovered, and ended the year as the Sun Devils' top backup. He'll now get a chance to make his mark on the offense this offseason. On this episode, we discuss the lessons and growth through his rehab, his football journey, the developing rapport of the quarterback room, and much more.  

Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor has played well at the Senior Bowl. Could his performance propel him up in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft? Plus, Mark talks about the recent success of ASU women's basketball and the uninspiring play from ASU men's basketball.

ASU landed 25 new players from the 2026 transfer portal window, from high-profile All-conference honorees to young players brimming with potential. Ralph Amsden joins Brad Denny to discuss their lists of five new Sun Devils who are intriguing them the most.
