While Kristi's away at the Olympics, we kick off this episode with a conversation between producer Christine O'Donnell and world rowing commentator Colleen Saville about Kristi's races in Paris. Then we dive into her interview with Rudy Winkler, American track and field athlete who competes in the hammer throw and weight throw. Rudy is the current American Record Holder in the hammer toss with a distance of 82.71m. He has finished in the top 8 at his last 4 World Championship and Olympic finals, and is a 3x Olympian who is on Team USA in Paris with Kristi right now. Rudy shares with Kristi how this niche sport was perfect for a self-described “big kid,” what makes this sport a 98% mental game, and how avoiding superstition and embracing anxiety has helped him achieve his goals. Plus, Rudy gives us a hint of how you can tell if he's happy with his throw or not. They also speak candidly on their complicating feelings about dedicating so much of their lives to sport, and how they find balance (or not) with other priorities.

Send us a Text Message.Can music and speech combine to create powerful emotional experiences? Join us as we explore this fascinating intersection, starting with a light-hearted chat about our attempts at pop music. We dive deep into the creative process of blending musical elements like violin and percussion with iconic speeches from figures such as Marilyn Monroe and Martin Luther King Jr. Our journey takes a poignant turn as we discuss future compositions inspired by speeches from "The Matrix" and Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator," reflecting on the timeless and moving message of humanity, kindness, and unity embedded in Chaplin's words.Imagine a journal that celebrates ambitious ideas with high-risk, high-reward potential. We dream aloud about launching a groundbreaking academic journal that breaks away from the conservative norms of traditional publications. Dubbed the "Journal of Big Swings," this project aims to prioritize bold, innovative theories that may not yet be fully provable but deserve exploration. Our brainstorming session includes humorous potential names and the crucial role of reputable contributors to establish credibility. We wrap up this segment with a playful discussion on how enthusiastic supporters of ambitious academic research could propel such a journal into existence.Discover the future of note-taking with digital tools like Obsidian, which help users create interconnected, personal knowledge networks. We discuss how such software can revolutionize the way we organize and visualize information, leading to an innovative idea for an academic journal named "The Journal of Ambitious Inquiry." This journal would offer a platform for sharing and discussing bold hypotheses without the immediate need for evidence. We close by examining the challenges revolutionary ideas face in traditional academic publishing and the need for more flexible avenues to recognize and disseminate transformative concepts. The episode concludes with a call for innovation in academic publishing to better support groundbreaking ideas. Help these new solutions spread by ...

As Adam Peters was working the phones in the 2nd round, the Commanders ended up with some big playmakers & we break them down in the opening segment.
Hour 2: It's been reported that the Steelers are not exercising the 5th year option for Justin Fields. But is there a chance they could make a deal with Fields before the season begins? Then what would they do with Russell Wilson in that instance? How good would the numbers need to be for Wilson to keep him around beyond this season? Could the Steelers kick the tires on one of the QBs that will likely go later in the 1st round like Michael Penix Jr. or Bo Nix? Should the Steelers make a big swing on a trade tomorrow night and try to make the biggest splash of the 1st round? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike said everyone has gotten “quiet” on the trade involving Brandon Aiyuk and he isn't sure the 49ers will get the 20th overall pick from the Steelers if the deal is made. Mike gave a few other teams that could be in on Aiyuk. Mike doesn't think it is a coincidence that the Steelers are restructuring the deal of Alex Highsmith right ahead of the draft. The guys asked Mike if Courtland Sutton should be one the Steelers' target list if they can't land Aiyuk. He thinks the Steelers will at least consider drafting Michael Penix if he is available at 20th overall. How can the Steelers make a deal with Justin Fields?
Julio Rodriguez had his first pinch-running assignment end poorly on Sunday and the guys are confused and a little concerned about why he was in the position in the first place, and why he wasn't available to the media after the game. Brock & Salk get into the great unknowns about the upcoming Seahawks draft and season - will they take big swings? Or just subtle moves? Brock's Blue 88 includes why "the end" is near.
