Opie & Ron lose it over DC's radioactive reflection pool turning into an algae nightmare — no-bid felon contracts, National Guard guarding pond scum, and kids getting 10 years for touching a blue chunk. Plus a kid dies in a Central Park horse carriage… and they're back running tours a WEEK later. World Cup chaos, Clive Davis stories, Babe Ruth punching umps, and Venmo Ronnie begging.

Spend Father’s Day with your favorite father-son baseball podcasting duo, Tim and Jeff Kurkjian! We cover all the latest happenings across Major League Baseball, but first, we kick things off with a Kurkjian Quandary about golf (yes, we love these). The Marlins are playing great baseball, and so is Bryce Harper. Harper and Manny Machado both reflect on how different the game is today, especially when it comes to facing pitching compared to when they first broke into the majors. Plus, the commissioner of the podcast, Mike Schur, shares a Quirkjiian that will have you thinking about unassisted triple plays in a whole new way. And on this date, we celebrate baseball legends Bobby Cox, Babe Ruth, and Willie Mays. We'd say that's a pretty strong lineup. Then we spin the Wheel of Kurkjian and talk all things baseball—it's kind of the perfect segment. Thanks so much for listening or watching, and thank you for being part of our family!

Is Boston Rob the Survivor GOAT? The debate over who truly deserves the title of Survivor's greatest of all time heats up as Rob Cesternino and Mike Bloom turn the spotlight on Boston Rob Mariano. In this episode of the ongoing Survivor GOAT series, Rob and Mike dig into the long-running Survivor legend's influence on the game, examining strategy, legacy, and what it means to be the face of Survivor. With just five legends left in their countdown, this conversation dives deep into nuanced gameplay, cutthroat moves, and the lasting mark Boston Rob leaves on the franchise. Rob and Mike open the discussion by comparing Boston Rob's outsized presence to Babe Ruth's status in baseball, noting how his iconic leadership and aggressive play have shaped entire eras of Survivor. The hosts explore Rob's journey from early trailblazer in Marquesas—where he makes the shocking move to oust tribe leader Hunter Ellis—to his dominant winning game on Redemption Island. They debate whether Boston Rob's all-or-nothing style, which relies heavily on command and control, is truly the most effective path for every player. The episode also unpacks memorable moments from All Stars, including Rob's legendary deal with Lex, and contrasts his brand of gameplay with more under-the-radar winners like Vecepia Towery. The discussion turns to how Boston Rob adapts (or sometimes doesn't) in new school Survivor, including his gameplay on Winners at War and even reality competition crossovers like The Traitors. – Mike Bloom argues Boston Rob's “larger-than-life” impact and compares his influence to Survivor's host Jeff Probst – Key discussion of the infamous Lex betrayal in All Stars and whether that ruthlessness is repeatable today – Debate over Rob's ability (or inability) to pivot when the power structure shifts, especially in modern Survivor seasons – The hosts weigh the value of a style that is all agency and dominance versus quieter, adaptable strategies – Deep look at the psychological side of Boston Rob's gameplay and whether his skills are truly portable across all eras The big question lingers: Is a playstyle that's “all or nothing” really the blueprint for the next Survivor legend, or does true greatness require an adaptable game? Rob, Mike, and Survivor fans everywhere are left wondering if Boston Rob's approach can stand the test of Survivor's ever-changing landscape. Stay tuned for more as the GOAT series continues, and don't miss next week's deep dive into Parvati's case for Survivor's top spot!

The Sandlot (1993) is a beloved coming-of-age sports comedy about a group of kids who bond over baseball in the summer of 1962, centered on new kid Scotty Smalls who joins the team and accidentally hits his stepfather's prized Babe Ruth signed baseball over a fence guarded by a giant dog known as "the Beast". The film follows their nostalgic adventures, friendship, and the hilarious, exaggerated quest to retrieve the ball, featuring memorable characters and iconic lines, and has since become a cult classic.Music Credits:Downtown Walk by | e s c p | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://escp-music.bandcamp.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music promoted by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.free-stock-music.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

On this episode of locked up sports we welcome Author and Babe Ruth Historian Frank Amoroso to the show. We discuss his latest book "Ode To The Baseball Gods" as well as the history of baseball, Babe Ruth's impact on the Game, how would we stack up in today's game. If you're a baseball fan you're gonna enjoy this conversation

THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME with author Randall Sullivan What happens when a botched assassination attempt on a president, the “Outfit,” the Great Depression, and the Legend of Babe Ruth collide in Chicago? Author Randall Sullivan reveals how the first so-called “Game of the Century” helped pull America out of its darkest era. Discover the untold history of baseball's first All-Star Game and the legends that shaped the sport. In 1933, an assassin fired six bullets at President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt in Miami. Every single bullet missed FDR, but they fatally struck Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak. Out of the political chaos of that assassination, a city's desperation to escape the shadow of Al Capone's crime syndicate, and the darkest, most terrifying days of the Great Depression, an unbelievable gamble was born. To save the city's morale, a new mayor and a sports editor dreamed up the ultimate distraction: the first Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The Book THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME: Babe Ruth, FDR, and America at the Crossroads (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026) Summary Brian O'Leary sits down with three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee Randall Sullivan to discuss his new book, THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME: Babe Ruth, FDR, and America at the Crossroads (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026). Sullivan explains that the book was born from his discouragement over modern political polarization, leading him to research how the United States survived the Great Depression. The conversation traces the chain reaction of events that created the 1933 Chicago World's Fair and the first-ever All-Star Game. This includes a Miami assassination attempt on President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt that resulted in the death of Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak. Throughout the episode, we dive into the towering mythos of Babe Ruth, noting that his absence in 1925 caused American League attendance to plummet. We also explore the cultural fallout of the 1919 Black Sox scandal, the iron-fisted rule of Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, and the forgotten legacies of players like Chuck Klein and Lefty O'Doul. Key Takeaways The Origins of the All-Star Game: The 1933 game was staged as a one-off exhibition for the Chicago World's Fair. It was pitched by sports editor Arch Ward to Mayor Edward Nash to boost morale after Mayor Cermak's tragic death. Babe Ruth's Unmatched Stardom: Ruth's absence due to illness in 1925 caused American League attendance to drop by 34%. Furthermore, he holds the top three WAR (Wins Above Replacement) seasons in Major League history. That's just the tip of the iceberg of the Ruthian Legend (and reality). The Black Sox Legacy: The 1919 scandal resulted in a complicated trial where players were acquitted by a working-class jury. However, Judge Landis later banned them for life, restoring baseball's image in the eyes of the outraged American public. Overlooked Baseball Legends: Sullivan argues that Lefty O'Doul deserves Hall of Fame recognition. O'Doul not only hit .398 with 254 hits in a 154-game season, but he was also instrumental in bringing baseball to Japan and in developing it there.

It was a turning point in American history.” – Randall Sullivan Resources Mentioned THE FIRST ALL-STAR GAME: Babe Ruth, FDR, and America at the Crossroads (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026).

Well, that Mosque shooting disappeared faster than cocaine at a Hunter Biden party.Seattle's Democratic Socialist Mayor is losing businesses like no where else. The Colombia Tower Club just closed after 40 years. Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go has closed all their stores. Jeff Bezos left, Howard Schultz founder of Starbucks left. Their capital gains tax collection is down 50%. Per Cushman Wakefield vacancies rates are 36.5 for commercial property. Pioneer square is at 50% vacancy. The Needle, Seattle's iconic structure is now a homeless encampment. Business are running from socialist ideas and sanctuary cities. At this pace tax rates will increase on those remaining. It's just a matter of time for the city to collapse. Fewer people to tax, fewer jobs, more homeless.[X] SB – Ad against TalaricoGod is non-binary6 sexesAmerican flag complicated signalStephen Colbert signs off from late night television, and the media acts like we just watched the first moon landing, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the Beatles reuniting all at once. “Historic ratings!” they cry. “A cultural moment!”Yeah? Let's talk about those numbers.Colbert's final show pulled 6.74 million viewers. And to be fair, that is a big number by today's standards. It was the highest-rated weeknight episode he ever had. Bigger than his premiere. Way above his recent average of around 2.7 million.But here's the problem. Context is undefeated.Johnny Carson's final show in 1992 pulled over 55 million viewers. Fifty-five million. That was when America still had fewer people and fewer TVs. Carson had a 62% audience share. Think about that. Six out of every ten televisions in America were tuned into one guy sitting behind a desk telling jokes.That's not a TV host. That's a national event.Jay Leno signed off with nearly 15 million viewers. David Letterman got almost 14 million. Colbert, meanwhile, needed every other late-night host to basically go dark and funnel their audience to him just to hit half of what Leno and Letterman did.And this was his BEST night, outside of his piggybacking on a Super Bowl one night.That's like a baseball player retiring with a .195 batting average and ESPN running graphics like Babe Ruth just left Yankee Stadium.What happened to late night?Simple. It stopped being funny and started becoming political group therapy.Johnny Carson made everybody laugh. Republicans, Democrats, people who didn't know who the Vice President was. Carson wasn't trying to “educate” America. He wasn't trying to save democracy between commercials for sleep medication and adult diapers. He just wanted to be funny.Colbert and these modern late-night guys? Entirely different business model.Every night became the same routine: Trump joke. Republican joke. Democracy is ending. Commercial break. Repeat until pharmaceutical side effects include “thoughts of self-harm.”At some point, late night stopped feeling like comedy and started feeling like being trapped at a dinner party with your angry NPR cousin who uses the phrase “lived experience” while borrowing money from his parents.And then you see the staff photo.Have you seen this thing? It looked less like a comedy show staff and more like a government agency. I heard estimates anywhere from 120 to nearly 200 people working on that show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You've no doubt heard of Babe Ruth, who set a record for most number of home runs in his baseball career– seven hundred and fourteen. But here's a statistic you probably haven't heard– Babe Ruth's total career strikeouts. One thousand three hundred and thirty. That's right– he struck out far more than he hit homers.When it comes to your own son, of course you want him to hit all the proverbial “home runs” in life. But don't forget to let him fail, too. It can be hard for us parents to watch, but failure can actually build resilience and be more beneficial for our children than success. Just ask Babe Ruth, who said– “Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.” For more ideas on raising boys to be godly men, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

We step inside the operation, and the mental state that built it.In this episode, The Athlete's Shadow: Analyzing the psychological state of an athlete facing career failure (injury, release) and how "minor league" fame creates a dangerous vacuum that fraud can fill.The Genesis of the "Racket": How the operation began with small-scale forgeries and scaled rapidly, utilizing close personal relationships—including his mother and friends—to create a "trust circle" that shielded the fraud.The Power of the Marker: The mindset required to forge thousands of autographs, from Babe Ruth to Derek Jeter, and the specific high-level manipulation used to convince collectors of authenticity.Mental State of the Catalyst: What psychological triggers led him to believe he could, and should, get away with it on such a monumental scale? Was it purely greed, or an act of desperation and entitlement?

We go back to the early days of the Angels (California, Los Angels, Anaheim, or anywhere in-between) for the untimely death of a pitcher, then look forward to next year, when one of the most famous and consequential baseball teams of all time will mark its 100th anniversary. What will Major League Baseball or the Yankees do about it? Why is it the first such team to merit such an occasion? And how do you mark the occasion when members started dying off right after the championship was won? Also: A big day for Ty Cobb and a less salubrious 1920s “achievement” is observed. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

On this episode of Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast, we dive deep into one of baseball's most controversial and misunderstood stories—Roger Maris and his historic chase for 61 home runs. Why was a man breaking one of the most legendary records in sports actually hated for it? Kenny breaks down the truth behind Maris' 1961 season with the New York Yankees, the pressure of chasing Babe Ruth's iconic record, and how fans, media, and even baseball itself turned against him. From the infamous “asterisk” controversy to the nonstop comparisons with Mickey Mantle, this episode uncovers how Maris became one of the most unfairly treated athletes in sports history—despite accomplishing something truly legendary. If you think breaking records earns respect, think again. This is the real story behind 61—and why Roger Maris paid the price for greatness.

On the eve of baseball season, Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the excitement, confusion, and anticipation surrounding Opening Day in New York. From the Yankees' strange final spring schedule to the Mets' long layoff, they break down what actually matters before the games count and why this time of year still hits differently for fans starving for meaningful sports. They also bounce through the kind of arguments that make sports talk great, including draft credibility and media influence, Justin Fields' unusual career path, fantasy-style player comparisons, Babe Ruth folklore, and whether classic games still hold up when you already know the ending. It's a sharp, funny conversation about fandom, memory, and why the return of baseball changes everything.

Opening Day is almost here, but the Yankees' final tune-up has Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber scratching their heads. With a puzzling stop in Arizona before heading to San Francisco, the guys break down why the schedule feels off and what it could mean for players gearing up for the season. Plus, the excitement of meaningful games returns after a long stretch of lackluster sports moments for New York fans. The conversation then shifts to the NFL Draft, where questions about analyst credibility and potential conflicts of interest take center stage. A heated debate unfolds over quarterback rankings, shifting narratives, and whether outside influences are shaping opinions. Add in lively calls from listeners—from fantasy baseball dilemmas to a legendary Babe Ruth story—and it's a packed, thought-provoking episode.

Hosts Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci discuss Opening Day and the need for teams to get off to a good start! What is the biggest thing a team will see in the first few weeks of the season? Joe reveals the team he thinks can most challenge the Dodgers in the NL. Tom talks about the players who will benefit from a solid performance in the WBC. Following a memorable Babe Ruth story, Joe and Tom name their World Series teams! The Book of Joe Podcast is a production of iHeart Radio. #fsrSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A man robs a grave, murders a hermit, and then decides to take up bombing. A ghost has been standing in the same flooded tunnel for over 160 years. Workers may still be sealed inside one of America's most famous landmarks. A gunman holding dozens of hostages picks up the phone and calls a radio station. A soldier walks off base in the middle of the night — and keeps walking. And a real boy named Ken becomes the most famous plastic man in history. | IT HAPPENED ON *DATE* | The Morning Weird Darkness*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

Red writes "On August 17th, 2023, I was camping with a close friend In Stephen's state forest in south central Iowa, not far from the Missouri border. It is very remote for the Midwest in that area. There are no electrical lines in this particular forest, so no lights. My friend and I got into the forest at dusk and set up camp. We saw no vehicles as we drove through the forest and the campsite we stayed at was completely empty. Twenty minutes or so after setting up camp, we heard an incredibly loud sound from the northwest corner of the camp. It was so loud it made us both jump and all of my hair immediately stood on end. The sound was like a howler monkey whooping, but it sounded like it was the size of a minivan. Immediately after this, about 150 feet south of us in the tree line, another noise happened. It sounded like Babe Ruth was in the forest slamming a bat against a tree. There were 6 whacks or knocks. They came in 3 successions of twos. Knock knock. Knock knock. Knock knock. That night we got chased out of the campsite by 3 or 4 of these creatures. It kept me out of the woods for a long time. I would love to tell you the whole experience."
