The guys open the show reacting to a hilarious interaction between Karsch and Rico in cross-talk a few minutes before. They spend the first segment on this topic before shifting their sights to the potential NFL rule changes and which of the 2 main ones the league is considering they'd rather see implemented. They take your calls on this until David joins for a CFB Blitz.

Fresh off an hour-long yap session, we are ready to yap further about Magnus Chase. Magnus and Sam meet up with Hearth and Blitz, and traverse into the Wight's Barrow. The mummies are very democratic. The Skofnung Sword is hot, and also afraid of women, apparently. Can Jack see? How does he know the sword is hot? Also why are the swords gendered? Rick, we have questions. Erin talks about her trip to Iceland multiple times. Magnus battles a bunch of undead mummies and then Loki and Randolph show up. Blitz almost dies and in order to save him, they must go to Hearth's childhood (or, according to Manasa, biological) home and face his trauma.

Zuerst schien es ein Blitz aus heiterem Himmel gewesen zu sein, die Abwahl der Zofinger Stadtpräsidentin Christiane Guyer. Nun aber mehren sich Stimmen, die von zu wenig Präsenz, einem inexistenten Wahlkampf und von einem schwachen Stadtrat sprechen. Weiter in der Sendung: · Personalmangel im Gesundheitswesen: Eine Matching-App aus dem Aargau will Arbeitgeber aus dem Gesundheitsbereich und Pflegefachpersonen zusammenbringen. Man will damit den Einsatz von teurem Temporär-Personal minimieren. · Wettingen: An Pfingsten findet ein nationales Jungwacht-Blauring-Lager mit gegen 10'000 Kindern und Jugendlichen statt. Die Verantwortlichen planen seit langer Zeit und sind jetzt im Endspurt.
Im Innerrhoder Bezirk Gonten sind im vergangenen Jahr durchschnittlich am meisten Blitzeinschläge pro Quadratkilometer in der Schweiz gemessen worden.

In the last episode of this week, we've got Cody Koehler returning to the show to explain the impact of DOT Blitz Week on freight brokers and customers, and some trends in the market that you should know! Here's What to Learn From This Episode: DOT Blitz Week Impact: Significant capacity crunches & rate spikes noted; brokers can leverage this time to solidify customer relations, even at a loss. Proactive carrier sourcing essential; reactive strategies expose operational gaps. Insights indicate future market volatility trends. Carrier Relationships & Rate Management: Premium rates are necessary during peak weeks to maintain capacity. Lack of support during tough weeks risks business loss to competitors. Key differentiators: tender acceptance & customer communication. Short-term losses viewed as long-term investments for relationship growth. Market Trends & Data Interpretation: Identify market shifts by tracking rate/capacity changes post-major events. Observations indicate weak fresh produce demand; diversification into dry, frozen, and dairy/deli sectors recommended. Notable muted demand in flatbed/open deck freight tied to construction commodities. Sales Strategy & Prospect Engagement: Consistency in prospecting, such as 50 cold calls/day, remains crucial despite high rejection rates. Establishing relationships early positions brokers for future opportunities. Increased cold call receptiveness observed; onboarding paperwork should be completed proactively. Final Recommendations: Proactively set up shippers with necessary documentation, even without immediate loads. Relationship building and preparedness against market shifts crucial for future success. Highlights contact info for Cody Kaler and encouragement to connect. About Cody Koehler Cody is a 21-year veteran in supply chain/logistics. He has done just about everything in this industry minus holding his CDL (he did drive a yard dog though). In his current role, he oversees the sales and marketing teams for A&Z trucking, a 20-year old brokerage that specializes in produce and reefer freight, as well as cold storage and cross docking.

The Buckeyes lost eight defensive starters from their 2024 national title run — and somehow, the defense might be even better in 2025. In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down how Ohio State is reloading with stars like Sonny Styles and Caleb Downs and why Matt Patricia's NFL experience could change the way the Silver Bullets attack. Scheme, depth, culture — it's all here. No excuses. Just dominance. Friday, May 16, 2025 Subscribe to the Podcast

After losing Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau, Ohio State's defensive end room is in reload mode — and Ryan Day isn't slowing down. In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down the spring performances, depth chart shakeups, and what's next for the Rushmen unit. Can Kenyatta Jackson or Caden Curry emerge as every-down game wreckers? Will portal addition Beau Atkinson rise fast? And is CJ Hicks the surprise star of the group after switching from linebacker? With Matt Patricia's influence and Larry Johnson's history of greatness, this room might just be deeper — and more dangerous — than we think. Wednesday, May 14, 2025 Subscribe to the Podcast

Live from Saudi Arabia, this broadcast dives into Donald Trump's aggressive foreign policy strategy as he meets with global dignitaries, tech titans like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, and Saudi leadership. The conversation explores the contrast between Trump's high-paced diplomacy and Biden's prior handling of Middle East affairs—highlighting the Biden administration's alleged softness on Al Qaeda and the weakening of U.S.-Saudi ties. The hosts argue that Trump is reasserting American influence by aligning with Saudi Arabia against China and Russia, restoring the petrodollar system, and leveraging U.S. military and technological power as bargaining chips. With sharp critiques of both Democratic and Republican spending policies, the episode frames Trump's visit as a turning point in global economic warfare and geopolitical realignment.

In the motion filed on April 17, 2025, Sean Combs' legal team seeks to exclude video evidence related to a March 5, 2016 incident at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. The defense argues that the CNN footage presented by the government is inadmissible due to alterations, manipulations, and being out of sequence. They assert that CNN paid for, copied, and presented the footage in unknown ways, ultimately destroying the original, rendering it inaccurate. Additionally, the defense challenges two iPhone videos, claiming they are re-recordings of surveillance footage that differ materially from the CNN compilation. The defense contends that these videos cannot be authenticated under Federal Rule of Evidence 901, violate the "Best Evidence" Rule (Rule 1002) due to the absence of original footage, and should be excluded under Rule 403 as their prejudicial impact outweighs any probative value.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.243.0.pdf
On this packed episode of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Liam Firkin, Jamie Wrenn and George Gorman to unpack a week of drama, dominance and divisive opinions in the build-up to Epsom. We begin in France with heartbreak for Basher Watts, Kieran Shoemark and Charlie Fellowes as She's Perfect is controversially disqualified from the French 1000 Guineas, handing the Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches to Zarigana, who emulates her famous granddam in style. But did the stewards get it right — and should the team appeal? From there, it's all roads to Epsom, as Ballydoyle's iron grip on the Classic trials continues at Chester, Lingfield and Leopardstown. The panel debates which of Aidan O'Brien's stars are true Derby or Oaks contenders, and which are better Royal Ascot material. The podcast is split — with two of the team pushing hard for a 10/1 Oaks filly, while the others are outright dismissive. Could O'Brien's best Derby hope actually emerge from York in the shape of The Lion In Winter? And is one Classic trial runner being criminally underestimated at 33/1 for Epsom? Plus: Two juveniles to follow for Royal Ascot, and a look at whether East India Dock can follow up his Chester Cup heroics at the summer showpiece.

In this jam-packed episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine recap an explosive weekend of geopolitical maneuvers, domestic drama, and policy bombshells. Kicking off with Trump's massive executive order to slash prescription drug prices, the hosts break down how “most favored nation” pricing could collapse Big Pharma's profit model and reshape U.S. healthcare forever. But the chaos doesn't stop there, things heat up as they cover a Democrat-led insurrection at an ICE detention facility, complete with congressmembers pushing past federal officers and body-slamming staff. They compare the media's silence to the J6 hysteria, exposing blatant double standards and growing left-wing desperation. The duo dives into global updates, from Trump's peace push in Ukraine and a historic India-Pakistan ceasefire to renewed Iran nuclear talks and Saudi Arabia's potential civil nuclear deal. They explore the possible recognition of a Palestinian state and what that could mean for Netanyahu and the Abraham Accords. Add in Macron's suspected coke spoon, Zelensky's backwards pants, and a vanished witness in the Diddy trial, and you've got an episode that's part war room, part wild ride. From collapsing narratives to rising coalitions, this is the show that tracks the real-time shift of power from the global elite to the people, with just the right dose of humor and side-eye.

By the start of the blitz Britain didn't have enough anti aircraft guns, despite half a decade anticipating mass bombing as a means of war.

While President Donald Trump struggles to convince the American public his tariffs are worth sacrificing for by prattling on about how kids these days have too many dolls and pencils, his administration has managed to build a solid track record of executing on some wide-reaching plans. Just not plans that Trump came up with. Of course, we're talking about Project 2025, the nearly 1,000-page policy blueprint from the far-right think tank The Heritage Foundation. David Graham, staff writer at The Atlantic, has been tracking how the administration has been using Project 2025 to reshape America for his new book ‘The Project.' He joins us to talk about it.And in headlines: Trump told NBC ‘I don't know' when asked whether he's required to uphold the constitution, the president signed an executive order to strip funding from NPR and PBS, and jury selection is scheduled to begin today in the federal sex trafficking and racketeering case against rapper Sean ‘Diddy' Combs.Show Notes:Check out David's book – https://tinyurl.com/bdct5d3nSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
