Thanks to a suggestion from a listener Greg and Ed discuss the fascinating topic of games that are common - if not unique - to Thailand. Both guys have some familiarity with some games played in public such as 'takraw,' but many of the others are part of this strange world called 'Thai culture' that the guys apparently don't actually know that well. Greg begins with a children's game in which one child sings a song while counting by syllable on another child's hand. When the singer stops on a finger, that finger is taken out of the game. The child with the last finger in is the winner. Greg even plays a cute clip of a video of the game. Next, Greg explains a Thai game very similar to the Western game of 'jacks,' which although relatively unplayed by children back home, still lives on in a Thai derivative. The boys then go deep into the Thai version of chess, called makruk (หมากรุก), which utilizes the same board and pieces but with modifying moving rules for each piece. This game is a quite famous pastime of Thai motorcycle riders, who can often be seen playing the game on the side of the road while awaiting customers. It should be noted that Ed's friend - a noted chess lover - was broken by makruk, giving up in frustration after trying to tame the wild beast. Greg continues with several more Thai games, from the crazy sport of takraw, which is kind of like soccer and volleyball mixed together with a wicker ball, to bizarre practices such as beetle fighting, popular in the Northeast, and a game where you throw seeds with your knees. We also check in with a friend of Greg's who owns Golden Goblin Games to hear about the role-playing side of things. Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

Episode 629:  A Red Sox Series Victory? Yes, you read that right. The Red Sox took two out of three against the Seattle Mariners. A new Klark's Ketchup MVP was crowned in Seattle, and the guys brought back an old friend to the podcast. Marc “Beetle” Bertrand joins the show for a MEATY discussion on the 2026 Red Sox. Beetle and the guys break down the historical ineptitude this team is showing, Tyler's days working at 98.5, what Beetle would do to try to save the Red Sox, and much more. The Red Sox head to Coors Field next to face the Colorado Rockies, and there's no better way to preview the series than a little Stop & Shop and Weather Lookahead before three games in the Rocky Mountains. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:04:05 - Rafael Devers Pitch Runner Situation 00:08:57 - The Alex Cora Tweet 00:25:39 - Marc “Beetle” Bertrand Interview 03:06:37 - Taiku's 03:09:26 - Connelly Early Recap 03:14:09 - Section 10 Night in Portland 03:25:33 - Payton Tolle Recap 03:30:58 - Klark's Ketchup MVP Vote 03:43:10 - Stop & Shop 03:49:23 - Weather Lookahead 03:52:17 - Predictions 03:56:09 - Final Thoughts   SECTION 10 MERCH IS HERE: https://section10merch.com/ Trade $20 Get $20 on Kalshi - https://app.kalshi.com/1r91/Section10 Sign Up For Our Patreon for more Section 10 Content! https://www.patreon.com/cw/section10podcast Get Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic Belgian White Belgian-Style Wheat Brew delivered by visiting http://get.bluemoonbeer.com/JARED for delivery options Find out why Nutrafol is the best-selling hair growth supplement brand.

Hair, fur, wool, nails, and skin. This doesn't sound too bad when we think of stuff lying on the floor. It's the part of decomposition; a job that many invertebrates get in to when an animal dies. Keratin is really hard to digest – mammals and birds can't do that (cat's fur-balls, owls ejected pellets, etc). Some moths are therefore valued members of the RECYCLING SQUAD. All I really need to do is mention “CARPET BEETLES”. This appears to be the most common carpet destroyer in Aotearoa; probably because our houses are a lot more “open” than in Europe, for instance. Less insulation (especially in older homes), more moisture inside, not well sealed, wooden structures, and draughty windows We also have this habit of living outside a lot: leaving windows and doors open in summertime, so that there is an unlimited indoor-outdoor flow. Carpet beetles are quite different from clothes moths – different family of insects. Also, a different life cycle and different tactic of chewing on carpet. The adult beetles (those with the ability to reproduce) have a real beetle “look” – a little bit like miniature ladybird beetles: the membranous flight wings are hidden under some sturdy forewings. They are actually quite beautiful little beetles: patterned in browny-orange, white, and black; and only a couple of millimetres in size. But these beetles aren't really your problem at all! In fact, they are pretty useful pollinators in your garden. In mid-summer you can find dozens of them in your marigolds, yarrow, and even Pohutukawa flowers; I bet you that the vast majority of New Zealanders rarely notice them there! Later in summer when the beetles have mated, they fly into your home through the open door or window and lay their eggs in your woollen carpet. larvae will start gnawing at the keratin (wool), especially on the underside of the carpet backing, so that the woollen strands become loose and are easily sucked up the vacuum cleaner They look a little like “hairy maggots”, and are pretty resilient down there. Their habitat of choice is birds' nests, lined with feathers and fur, as well as carcasses of dead rodents, hedgehogs, and birds Breaking down the keratin is their gig! The trick is simple: all you need is a clever enzyme that chops the protein into bits, and you will have earned your reputation as one of the few insects that are literally able to split hairs. As is the case with clothes moths, control can be achieved with some residual insecticides – active ingredients such as permethrin and other synthetic pyrethroids will do the job well (Safeworx aerosol cans). It works well and is residual for 6 to 8 weeks, as long as the substrate treated is not exposed to direct sunlight. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Think drop shotting is just a deep-water finesse trick? Think again. In this episode, we dive into why shallow drop shotting might be one of the most underused techniques for catching pressured, cautious bass tucked around docks, laydowns, grass, and other shallow cover. We cover how to keep your soft plastic in the strike zone longer, why less movement often means more bites, and how downsizing your bait can turn a tough day around. We also break down leader length adjustments to keep your bait visible above bottom clutter, and how to switch between finesse and heavy-cover drop shot setups depending on where the fish are holding. If your shallow bites have been drying up under pressure, this episode will change how you approach it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.

Rudyard Kipling published Stalky & Co. in 1899. Set at an English boarding school in a seaside town on the North Devon coast. (The town, Westward Ho!, is not only unusual in having an exclamation mark, but also in being itself named after a novel, by Charles Kingsley.)The book is a collection of linked short stories, with some information about the eponymous Stalky's later life. Beetle, one of the main trio, is said to be based on Kipling himself, while Stalky may be based on Lionel Dunsterville.The stories have elements of the macabre (dead cats), bullying and violence, and hints about sex, making them far from the childish or idealised world of the typical school story. Edmund Wilson, critic, in The Wound and the Bow, was both shocked and uncomprehending.

What started as a great weekend at the drag strip quickly turned into a moment no racer ever wants to experience. Longtime Volkswagen enthusiast and drag racer Tony Moreci joins us to share the story behind the crash that damaged his iconic 1954 Ragtop Beetle during a recent racing event. Tony has spent decades behind the wheel of this legendary Oval-window Beetle, campaigning it at tracks across the country and earning respect throughout the vintage Volkswagen drag racing community. In this episode, we break down exactly what happened on race day, the sequence of events leading up to the accident, and the emotions that follow when years of hard work and history are suddenly put at risk in a matter of seconds. Beyond the crash itself, we take a look into the history of Tony's '54 Ragtop—its evolution from a classic street car into a well-known drag racing machine—and the memories attached to a car that has become part of his identity. We also reflect on our longtime friendship, the experiences we've shared over the years, and our connection through the legendary DBK Car Club. This conversation isn't just about bent sheet metal and damaged parts. It's about perseverance, friendship, the risks that come with motorsports, and the passion that keeps racers coming back to the starting line. Whether you're a Volkswagen drag racing fan, a vintage VW enthusiast, or simply appreciate the stories behind the people and cars that shape our hobby, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
