We have published 120 episodes since 2019. For this new season, we thought we would look back on some of the highlights of our conversations and choose 20 episodes that resonated with veterans, service members, military families, and the civilians who support them.But first up, you'll hear from some of the folks at Home Base who wake up every day with the same mission in mind, no matter what they do at the Center of Excellence in the Navy Yard and beyond.Over the next twenty weeks, we will share these staff conversations I had with some of the hard-working professionals at Home Base who help treat the invisible wounds of veterans and military families.For this episode, you will hear a brief conversation with Home Base Marine Veteran Alexander Hohl, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, followed by one of the earlier episodes, in which Ron sat with the US Army Colonel and Combat Surgeon Dr. David King and Red Sox legend David "Big Papi" Ortiz.  Boston just celebrated the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, and we felt it a good time to re-share the episode that remembers the Boston Marathon bombing and the inspiration Big Papi brought to the city during that time.Many thanks to Alexander Hohl for all his work at Home Base to support this mission to stomp stigma and treat the invisible wounds of veterans and military families.Run To Home Base: Join Ron and his team and sign up individually or on another team at the 16th annual Run To Home Base on July 26th, 2025, at Fenway Park!

Darren Dreger got things started at the top of the second hour. He gave his initial thoughts on all the latest trade rumours. First shared his thoughts on the Panthers acquiring Seth Jones over the weekend. Then dove into the latest news on Mikko Rantanen and whether or not he'll be moved come Friday. He briefly touched on the Kings and the Golden Knights, right before he gave us the latest on Evander Kane.   In the middle of the second hour, it was time to dive into ‘Trade Watch' from Corporate and Continuing Education! In this new segment we discussed all the latest trade rumours in Edmonton and elsewhere around the league.   We finished hour two with 'MMMMMM That's Good' presented by Italian Centre Shop to discuss Big Papi's chin strap, and boy is it beautiful.

Plus, Big Papi weighs in on whether the Red Sox can make a playoff push in 2025. Also, Lou Merloni joins the show to talk about what the Sox still need before Opening Day, the potential of Garrett Crochet, Walker Buehler, and the revamped bullpen, and if the Red Sox have a real shot at reclaiming the AL East crown. Finally, Tom catches up with top prospects Roman Anthony and Kristian Campbell to discuss their rise through the Red Sox farm system, adjusting to the business side of the game after the Kyle Teel trade, and the competitive energy surrounding Spring Training as they aim to crack the major league roster.

Send us a textFounded in 1901, the AL contains teams like #Yankees and #RedSox who have an epic list in their top 5 for players hitting home runs while a member of the franchise. Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, David "Big Papi' Ortiz, Jim Rice, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra are all in their teams top 5. All are HOFer.. Aaron Judge is outside the Yankee top five but he's closing fast.  Then there's the #orioles. Another original #AmericanLeague team, they started as the Milwaukee Brewers for one year before moving to St. Louis and becoming the Browns. HOFers Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken Jr. and Frank Robinson are in the top 5. But Besides being mostly terrible, the Browns had few home run threats. The #bluejays and #Rays are more recent additions but only Fred McGriff is in the top five of either team and is a HOFer. Carlos Delgado rules the roost for Toronto. Edwin Encarnacion has 424 career homers not 434 #guardians #tigers #whitesox #twins #royals have familiar names in their top two but once you go deeper it gets more difficult. #athletics #angels #rangers #astros #mariners have a few HOFers on their list.Link to an article by Mark - https://almostcooperstown.substack.com/p/career-home-run-leaders-for-each-be7?r=6m2o9Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

Jon Lester is one of the best big-game pitchers in modern history. He's got 2 rings with the Red Sox and he was a huge reason why the Cubs finally broke their own World Series curse. And perhaps his biggest accomplishment is the manner in which he battled and beat Cancer and what he's done for children all over the country to help them through their own Cancer fights over the years. When you hear him talk you'll know immediately why his teammates loved him and hitters feared him. Plus a story on how Big Papi didn't know what Dustin Pedroia's name was after playing with him for years and how he was in the clubhouse - Champagne and all, when Raje Davis almost ruined the Cubs World Series hopes!!

Welcome to the All Star Break! We kick off our Midsummer Classic episode, of course, with the fits. Steven Kwan and Shota “Mike” Imanaga (II) opt for velvet, Christian Yelich dons mint green, and Ohtani steps out in a suit inspired, of course, by his dog, Decoy.  Obviously the main event of the All Star Game is the game itself! Ohtani sets more records with his 3-run home run, Big Papi deems Steven Kwan “a bad man,” and Shota shows out for his new hometown of Chicago.  But even before the All Star Break, Corbin Carroll has a much-needed 6RBI night, Travis d'Arnaud steals his third career base (and has two homers in the same game), and we're not the only ones who thought Connor Wong belonged in Arlington.  Lastly, Kenta is moved to the bullpen and builds his confidence against a former ballclub, Yusei Kikuchi has a career high 13 strikeouts, and we wish Oakland Baller Kelsie Whitmore good luck in her tryout for the USA Baseball Women's National Team!  Shotamania: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/07/16/baseball/mlb/imanaga-cubs-fan-favorite/ Connor Wong: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5633061/2024/07/12/red-sox-connor-wong-performance/ Steven Kwan's suit: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9fyk8jBcgh/ Shota Imanaga's suit: https://www.marqueesportsnetwork.com/the-hilarious-reason-behind-shota-imanagas-all-star-game-fit/ Christian Yelich's suit: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9iAqyIuMcr/ Shohei Ohtani's suit: https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohtani-s-dog-decoy-pictured-inside-suit

Ryan talks about his decision to walk away from the game and how perseverance and resilience helped him overcome injuries and evolve his approach both on and off the field.

Occasional fistfights aside, most of our legislators make the choice to use their words when they're angry, and a lot of those words go into public letters they write to presidents, officials, and even each other. Despite the fact that no one else in this country has written or read a letter in decades, the public comment letter is still popular with politicians, who have elevated this obscure literary genre to a competitive sport, using these letters to demonstrate their power, build alliances, and shape policy. Today we're going to focus on one ongoing battle of letters over one of our favorite topics: the privatization of Medicare through a program known as Medicare Advantage. We'll talk about how all the players in the debate about Medicare Advantage are engaging in that battle, and how it could impact our access to healthcare! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmM6HrIiS8o Show Notes We've recorded a bunch of episodes about Medicare Advantage! Medicare Advantage was created as a private, for-profit alternative to traditional (or public) Medicare, was the promise of lower costs… which never happened. Surprise: Medicare Advantage plans are FAR more expensive to taxpayers than traditional Medicare for covering the same person, costing taxpayers $7 billion more per year than if everyone were just covered by traditional Medicare. (source) It's the healthcare Joe Namath, Jimmy JJ Walker, and Big Papi are selling to seniors with big promises of coverage for vision and dental care, transportation, groceries, and more – for $0 premiums. Free shit! Private companies drain public money to provide generally substandard insurance. These companies are exploiting a legit problem in Medicare, where many seniors are forced to pay premiums for medigap plans to cover stuff like chewing and seeing. If you can't afford the premiums for Medigap coverage, but you need to chew or see, you might be forced into an Medicare Advantage plan just because that's what you can afford month-to-month. And that could be fine… until you need care and find out that the copays and deductibles are too high, there are super limited networks, or the insurance company refuses to pre-authorize your treatment. But many of these MA plans don't come through on their wild promises, and in fact, seniors end up being pushed out of MA and back into original Medicare when they are sick and actually need care. Private insurance companies love collecting money,but they hate paying money for the service they're supposed to provide. Go figure!  We put out a report about this! Taking Advantage Who's Who? AHIP: “America's Health Insurance Providers” is the trade organization for the health insurance industry. Unsurprisingly, they are big proponents of Medicare Advantage. AHIP has written their own comment letters to CMS (the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) advocating for expansions to the MA program since at least 2015. Lately they also began coordinating their besties in the House and the Senate to write letters on their behalf. They claim that Medicare Advantage will expand the program to more seniors, and present some of their own research: MA will bring more money into the Medicare system… because MA plan holders use less care. (nothing to brag about!) MA is serving a diverse populatio “As of 2021, approximately 59% of Hispanic or Latino/a individuals and 57% of Black individuals eligible for Medicare choose Medicare Advantage plans. Overall, 54% of Medicare beneficiaries who belong to diverse populations choose Medicare Advantage.” Turns out if you set out to exploit a diverse demographic of people, you can! In 2021, 70 members of congress signed "dear colleague" letter, initated by initiated by Reps. Val Demings (D-FL), Mike Gallagher (R-WI), Marc Veasey (D-TX), and Gus Bilirakis (R-FL).  In 2023 – 60 Senate signers – a good example of how this is insidiously bipartisan,

"It felt like, I'm figuring out what these things look like for me. Not, what's everyone doing or what should I be doing or what's expected of me?" There's nowhere I'd rather be on the third Monday in April than at the Boston Marathon finish line! This year, I was honored to be asked back to perform a variety of roles in Boston. I was one of the start and finish line announcers at the B.A.A. 5K and invitational miles, I hosted a live show with Keira D'Amato at Glossier's new store on Newbury Street, I was one of the race announcers at the finish on Marathon Monday, and I was the finish line reporter for the world feed broadcast. (Big Papi!!!) It was a fun, rewarding weekend that included run-ins with Eliud Kipchoge (and his content team), a hair-braiding party with one of the best milers in the country, and so much more.
