Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Dempsey

0:00 - That was the GREATEST comeback in NBA history. Period. The NY Knickerbockers battled back from a 29-POINT DEFICIT and beat the Spurs to take a 3-1 series lead. Unbelievable. Thanks for playing, Spurs. This series is OVA. 16:05 - Yesterday, Altitude TV announced that they're not renewing the contracts of Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, and Chris Dempsey. None of them will be involved with the Nuggets TV broadcast next season. Hastings will continue to co-host PHD, and he'll occasionally join Koz in the radio booth during Nuggets broadcasts on our airwaves. Sports is an unforgiving, brutal, harsh business. Everyone will be fired at some point. It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when. No one is safe. 34:36 - The World Cup begins TAHNIGHT (say it in your best Berto voice). Vic claims to be the soccer/World Cup expert of the show. Let's spring some impromptu World Cup trivia on him and see how he does.

0:00 - Jeff Legwold will be at Broncos OTAs today! What will he be looking for? Will he be laser-focused on Bo Nix's ankles? Davis Webb will address the media for the first time today as a play-caller on offense. Will he divulge any information about the distribution of power between him and Sean?14:57 - Sometimes, for the sake of standings/postseason seeding, you have to root for a team that isn't yours. BUT, if that team wins, it benefits YOUR team. It's such a weird rollercoaster of emotion. It's also a blast.After that, we still can't believe what we witnessed at Madison Square Garden last night. The New York Knickerbockers casually pulled off the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history with a gazillion celebrities in attendance. 32:34 - Yesterday, Altitude TV announced that they're not renewing the contracts of Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, and Chris Dempsey. None of them will be involved with the Nuggets TV broadcast next season. Hastings will continue to co-host PHD, and he'll occasionally join Koz in the radio booth during Nuggets broadcasts on our airwaves. That's the business of sports, both on the field and off the field. People get fired. Teams make changes. It sucks. It's tough and it's inevitable. If you're looking to enter the world of sports broadcasting, understand that everyone has been fired or will be fired.

On a Thursday episode of Hot Takes, Eric Goodman and Troy Renck dive into the Knicks erasing a 29-point deficit and pulling off the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history. How did the Spurs choke away that big of a lead? Should we feel good for New York and Knicks fans? Where does last night's comeback rank among all-time great sports comebacks? Plus, Altitude TV made a couple huge changes yesterday, as Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings and Chris Dempsey will not be brought back. Did these guys deserve better? Are Marlowe & Hastings synonymous with Nuggets basketball? Check out another great episode of Hot Takes with Eric Goodman and Troy Renck! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Five takeaways on plans and public response The development of the last substantial piece of real estate in Cold Spring took a significant step forward in public sessions held April 27 to 30 at the Chapel Restoration and the St. Mary's Church rectory. The urban planning firm Speck-Dempsey presented initial concept plans for a mixed-use development on the Kemble Avenue parcel, while residents voiced concerns and shared ideas regarding the 12-acre tract. There were standing-room-only crowds at each of the two charrettes that included presentations; the other two were open houses. The Marathon Battery factory operated on the site from 1952 to 1979, discharging cadmium and other toxins into the soil and the adjacent Foundry Cove and the Hudson River. The Environmental Protection Agency ordered that the cove be dredged in 1972 and, in 1987, began a nine-year cleanup of the property that included demolition of the factory. (For a detailed history, see highlandscurrent.org/marathon.) Kearney Realty Group purchased the property in 2003. In 2023, Cold Spring amended the zoning from light industrial to planned mixed-use. Residents want smaller homes Informal votes among the residents who attended the charrette at St Mary's included a few unrealistic suggestions, such as "nothing" and "a parking lot," but housing received the most attention. Residents advocated for reasonable rents, 12 homes, tiny houses, 55-plus housing, a ban on short-term rentals and a shared, central green space ("cottage courts"). The architecture will echo Cold Spring's historic buildings in style and scale, according to Speck-Dempsey. Sustainability also scored well, with requests for low light pollution, solar power, energy-efficient buildings, trees, green space and preservation of the forest buffer. Community-oriented ideas included an aquatic center, ballfield, skate park, pavilion, safe walking and community-oriented retail. Some people wanted to see a bodega or restaurants that serve Thai and Indian food. The site is larger than it looks Speck-Dempsey drafted 12 concept plans and recommended two, which it dubbed The Amble and The Angle. Each contains 100 to 150 units, which raised some concern. Office uses, live-work spaces, upstairs apartments, small apartment villas and a few medium-size houses were also part of the mix. Restaurants or cafes could be added, but would require a zoning change. To illustrate capacity, Jeff Speck of Speck-Dempsey said two Forge Gate condominium complexes, or 136 units, could fit on the Marathon site with substantial open space. Public spaces would include a playground, the protection and enhancement of the wooded bluff at the south end, paths and viewing areas. Speck stressed the proposed neighborhood's "walkability" and noted that traffic calming devices, such as narrow lanes, are incorporated in the plans. The site is safe, says EPA While some residents have lingering concerns about the polluted past, Chris Dempsey of Speck-Dempsey said the EPA determined that the site was safe for development more than a decade ago. Excavation for construction "won't get close" to the 15-foot limit set by the EPA, environmental monitoring will be carried out throughout construction, and all plans require approval by the EPA and state regulators. Dempsey said the village has indicated it has the capacity to handle water and sewer for the development, although he reserved the right to reassess once detailed plans are ready. Because the site's groundwater is contaminated, the units cannot use wells for drinking water. Traffic flow seems tight Speck-Dempsey say that, even within the narrow confines of Rock Street, Kemble Avenue and Wall Street, traffic will not be a problem, including safe pickup and drop-off at the adjacent Montessori school. It plans to commission a traffic study and will look at access from Lunn Terrace or by connecting Kemble with Chestnut Street, although those options seem unlikely. Changing Kemble to two-way traf...

Boston was once declared the most congested metropolitan region in the country. So, yes, the traffic here is terrible — but what can we do about it? How can we change the structural incentives that keep people in their cars? Hint: the answer is not bigger roads. To traverse the conversational terrain of transit, congestion pricing, gas taxes, and bike lanes, we're joined by Chris Dempsey and Jeff Speck, the men behind the urban design firm Speck Dempsey. These guys really know what they're talking about, even if they've never seen the Cameron Crowe classic Singles.

This quarter of the Future of Agriculture podcast is made possible by Case IH: https://www.caseih.com/en-us/unitedstates[Spotlight] Integrating Tech and Iron With Chris Dempsey of CNH[Spotlight] How Case IH Turns Customer Insights Into Farm EquipmentWhere Tech Meets Tractor With Joe Miller of CNHStrategic Investing in Ag Technologies With Michele Lombardi of CNH VenturesAs part of this quarter's sponsorship, Case IH has given me access to some of their key people to learn more about what goes into developing the tractors and equipment that farmers use every day. This is our third and final installment of that series, so if you haven't already listened to the first two with Dan Klein and Chris Dempsey, I highly recommend you go do that after listening to this spotlight. Today's interview features Scott Harris, who at the time of this interview was the Brand President at Case IH. In the time since the interview took place, it was announced that Scott took on the role of president of CNH North America, so congratulations to Scott on that. Scott told me he feels like he was destined to work in the ag industry but his story began as a secondary education teacher in Applied Technology. From there he spent over 20 years in the automotive and finance industries, and says he found his calling when he joined CNH Industrial in 2006. Brought to you by Case IH: Case IH designs, engineers and produces cutting-edge farm equipment based on a comprehensive understanding of farmers' needs, wants and challenges, integrating these insights into their development and manufacturing.For example, take their Model Year 25 Magnum tractor. The new Magnum is purposefully designed to answer farmers' needs in every design and engineering choice. Improved horsepower for pulling heavier loads, faster. Bundled, integrated and ready-to-go precision tech for greater accuracy in the field. And a transmission farmers can tweak for improved control and performance in different tasks. That kind of design thinking is exactly where the future of ag is headed, and that's why you'll be hearing me talk to the folks at Case IH at different points throughout this quarter about what they do and how they're working to push the ag forward.

This quarter of the Future of Agriculture podcast is made possible by Case IH: https://www.caseih.com/en-us/unitedstatesToday's special episode is what I like to call a spotlight. Instead of our normal format of a 40 minute long form interview, it's just a short peak into something interesting. The topics for these spotlights are determined in collaboration with our quarterly presenting sponsor, which this quarter is Case IH. If you listened to our last spotlight with Dan Klein about a month ago, you already know that this quarter Case IH has given me access to some of their people to learn more about what goes into developing the tractors and equipment that farmers use every day. These spotlight segments are usually farmers, and it just so happens that's also the case here, Chris Dempsey, like Dan Klein is not only a Case IH employee, but a farmer himself. Today's episode builds upon what Dan shared about how Case IH stays systematically customer-focused through their Customer Driven Product Design. Chris is going to share more about the integration of technology and iron and how that comes together in the modern Magnum Tractor. Chris Dempsey has spent 12 years with CNH and Case IH in a variety of roles in the technology space spanning dealer technical support, quality, marketing, and product management. Chris is currently responsible for overseeing precision technology integration across CNH's portfolio of iron products as well as global go to market execution of technology solutions across CNH's house of brands.And the pride Chris and his colleagues have in Case IH and specifically in the Magnum is very evident when you hear them talk about it.Brought to you by Case IH: Case IH designs, engineers and produces cutting-edge farm equipment based on a comprehensive understanding of farmers' needs, wants and challenges, integrating these insights into their development and manufacturing.For example, take their Model Year 25 Magnum tractor.
