#ScrubHopTalk Ep. 295 - Trox attempts to introduce a new round of "Phat or Wack", but J and Cotton make it absolutely impossible, driving him completely insane in the process. We watch a video of a group of guys having a pillow fight at what appears to be a sleepover, and Trox can't justify himself for pulling it, leading to tremendous amounts of ridicule. The guys take a trip into JDirty's box and he highlights how much money he spent on a version of Twiztid that he absolutely hates, but he must own it regardless. @troxy_cotton @scrubhopking @bigtrox303 #ScrubHop #Ispentsomuchtime #whatareyoushowingus? #RockTwiztidScrub Hop Talk is a weekly show with JDirty, Big Trox, and Troxy Cotton.

The History of Bombay | From Seven Islands to the City of DreamsBefore it became Mumbai, it was Bombay—a city built by fishermen, shaped by the Portuguese, transformed by the British, and powered by millions of dreamers.In this episode of India Unveiled, we travel back in time to uncover the fascinating story of how seven small islands evolved into one of the world's greatest cities. From the Koli community, the Portuguese era, the famous dowry that changed history, the East India Company, land reclamation, cotton mills, Bollywood, and the financial capital of India—we connect the dots that made Bombay what it is today.Whether you're a Mumbaikar, someone who dreams of living here, or simply curious about India's history, this episode will make you see the city in a completely different way.Because Bombay isn't just a place...It's an emotion.

A good old-fashioned Summer Friday episode has graced your feeds. Brendan is especially giddy after a 61(!) from Peppy Peter Malnati kicked off the final Rocket Classic. He and Andy discuss the PGA Tour’s new “silent feed” and other early returns from a new-look Detroit Golf Club. There is a bit of golf news to discuss, as the New York Post has reported that LIV will receive an investment of $250m at some point in September to keep the league afloat. Andy compares this number to the reported asks and offers to Bryson DeChambeau earlier this year and wonders if it’ll be enough sustain whatever “LIV 2.0” may be. After “Caddie Minute” on Wednesday’s episode, Andy was called into duty by an Illini star at the Western Am. He takes Brendan through his day on the bag and implores anyone in the area to attend the final days of the event this weekend. Speaking of caddies, Charley Hull proudly pranked her looper into thinking he won $100,000 on a scratch-off. Brendan and PJ can’t believe that she’d proudly discuss this with anyone, much less during a major-week press conference, but Andy claims the world needs more pranks. There are no pranks discussed in a lengthy Golf Advice segment to round out this week of shows, but Andy and Brendan do answer questions about golf travel, bookies, and more!

Michael Carpenter grew up plowing mules and picking cotton in Hernando, Mississippi—one of ten children abandoned by his father at age three. Raised by loving grandparents and later embraced by a stepfather who showed him what acceptance looks like; Michael's journey took a dramatic turn on a drive to work when suicidal thoughts overwhelmed him. In his darkest moment, Michael tuned into Bott Radio Network and heard Chuck Swindoll teaching on the blood of Jesus. That broadcast led him to pull into a hospital emergency room and surrender his life to Christ. Today, Michael serves as a chaplain to troubled youth at a state-run facility—a ministry he's faithfully carried since 1994. He shares about forgiving his absent father, reconnecting broken family ties, and why he believes there's hope for America's next generation. This is a story about the power of Christian radio, the resilience of faith, and how God can redeem even the most painful beginnings.

With the Western Am at one of his favorite spots in Chicago, Andy is in a great mood for this Wednesday recording. To start things off, he gets Brendan going on the wonders of growing up as caddies and the lessons they learned at a young age that today's kids are missing out on due to their "silly apps." Eventually they get to pro golf, beginning with the latest news from what looks like LIV Golf's last stand. Flushing It has reported that the league will cancel its season-ending team championship in Michigan, leaving just two events left on the schedule. Andy compares these constant updates to the "world's longest funeral procession" as the reported September 1st deadline for new investors gets closer and closer. Brendan spent the morning looking at the rest of the year's calendar and tasked Andy and PJ with making lists of the five events they're most looking forward to after this week. There's plenty of Presidents Cup excitement, but a Solheim Cup, Walker Cup, and the U.S. Am at Merion are also reasons to stay tuned in through the fall. In this discussion, Brendan submits a new strategy for the International Team that may throw the Americans off at Medinah. As for this week's schedule, the Rocket Classic puts on its grand finale at a newly-renovated Detroit Golf Club, the AIG Women's Open rounds out another major season, and the Champions Tour is hanging at Ernie's Place in Portugal. The two wrap with news of the first two Championship Series sponsorships beginning in 2028 and the very hefty price tags that come with these naming rights.

*The condition of the Texas corn crop continues to decline.  *The sterile screwworm fly production facility in Texas could open ahead of schedule.  *The Texas Wheat Producers Board named Kristie Keys as the 2026 Texas Wheat Agent of the Year. *In the Texas High Plains, the cotton crop's need for rain grows more each day.  *Crops in the Southern Plains of Texas are also thirsty for rainfall.  *USDA has released the latest farm expenditures report.  *During a drought, there isn't much you can do to increase forage growth.  *Probiotics are routinely recommended for horses.

*The corn crop in the High Plains of Texas is suffering from the summer heat.  *A budget package that includes additional economic assistance for farmers is moving forward.  *Texas livestock producers who experienced losses in the recent flooding may get help from USDA disaster programs.  *Corn harvest is underway in Central Texas.  *It's been another dry year for cotton farmers in the Texas High Plains.  *Negotiations continue on the U.S. Mexico Canada trade agreement.  *Beef prices and consumer demand were topics discussed at the recent Cattle Industry Summer conference in Denver.*Bulls with increased back fat may have lower fertility.  

Has the PGA Tour's newest star finally arrived? Andy and Brendan went LIVE on YouTube on Sunday night for a lengthy recap of the 3M Open following Jackson Koivun's first PGA Tour win. Koivun held off a charging Scottie Scheffler at TPC Sod Farm, never allowing the lead to be closer than two shots during the final round. Andy and Brendan discuss what this victory means not only for Koivun's early career, but also for the future of the PGA Tour as they may have a new star to build around with the massive schedule changes coming in just two years. Andy highlights Koivun's competitiveness and poses that his mentality is the reason why he'll be different from past "young stars" like Matthew Wolff, Nick Dunlap, and Luke Clanton. Brendan then stops to give Scottie Scheffler his flowers after yet another runner-up finish, his fourth of this season. Koivun's Presidents Cup chances immediately became a topic of online conversation, so Andy and Brendan run through the U.S. standings and wonder if the "Boys Club" mentality will win out again for this year's event at Medinah. Other 3M amusements include a big week from Muzzy Donohue, an amazing visual from Lucas Glover, and a strong Sunday round from Jake Knapp. Elsewhere in results, Big Tom Morrison's hot streak on the Korn Ferry Tour led to a win, Jerry Kelly's "hockey brain" captured the senior Claret Jug, and Lucas Herbert made up for a Birkdale loss by winning LIV U.K. A Sports Minute focusing on LeBron James and Pete Crow-Armstrong closes out this episode, but Brendan tosses in a much-needed Nico Echavarria update for all those clamoring for one!

In this episode, I'm tackling one of the most confusing challenges parents face: how to support a highly sensitive child without wrapping them in cotton wool or pushing them too hard. If your child feels everything deeply - the party overwhelm, the criticism that undoes them, the emotional intensity that seems bigger than everyone else's - then you need this episode.I explain what high sensitivity actually is, how it overlaps with anxiety, ADHD and autism, and why so many parents misinterpret sensitivity as fragility or a sign that something is “wrong”.I walk you through five practical, evidence‑based strategies you can start using today to build your child's resilience without dismissing who they are.If you've ever worried that you're either protecting your child too much or not protecting them enough, this episode will give you the middle path - one that honours their depth, strengthens their confidence, and helps them grow into the extraordinary person they're wired to be.So take a seat, pour yourself a cuppa, and enjoy the conversation…Highlights from this episode:01:18 - The biggest mistake you will make05:22 - A flooded nervous system cannot take information08:14 - Manage, don't avoid10:40 - What adult do you want to raise?13:16 - Be your child's counter narrative15:19 - Be a role model

As Iran's regime rejects negotiations and continues threatening Israel, American forces, and international shipping, Senator Tom Cotton argues that the United States must finish its operational campaign, dismantle Tehran's remaining missile and drone capabilities, and maintain the blockade depriving the regime of vital terror funding. Cotton, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, also warns that Communist China is pursuing the largest peacetime military buildup in history, rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal, and seeking to replace the United States as the world's dominant superpower. He explains why America must reduce its dangerous dependence on China for medicines, medical devices, and other critical supplies. From Iran and China to socialism gaining ground inside the United States, Senator Cotton delivers a clear warning: America must remain strong, confident, and resolute—or risk inviting a direct challenge from its enemies. The threats are gathering.

You've probably seen Sara post about how she's obsessed with eating a specific brand of cookie dough. Today the founder and CEO of Doughy, Kelly Ramey, joins Oversubscribed to talk about her creation. The clean, six-ingredient cookie dough sold out at Erewhon within days of launch and you can now find Doughy in Whole Foods, Target, and Costco nationwide.Millions of pounds of cookie dough are sold each year but here's the incredible part: Kelly is still the only full-time employee.We get into how scrappy events and a manufacturing background prepared her for the chaos of building a food brand, why hundreds of failed recipes led her to cashews as the base ingredient, and the surprising origin story of the chocolate chip cookie itself. Kelly walks us through sourcing cashews from a farmer in Mozambique and maple syrup from Vermont, why she still hands out samples herself, and what it actually took to land the product in 2,300 stores nationwide.

#ScrubHopTalk Ep. 293 - Trox attempts to show off his new beer this week but it leads to an argument about whether the can resembles Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or the Mucinex guy. Cotton makes some serious statements about how he views either limbs or appendages being dismembered, but the other guys don't trust his information or position. We get into the "What's In The Box?" this week and J has some fundamental issues with the record Trox is showing off, but it derails into what he reassures his co-hosts is nothing personal. @troxy_cotton @scrubhopking @bigtrox303 #ScrubHop #notmakingtheimage #copioussevereddickknowledge #thisisnotapersonalattackScrub Hop Talk is a weekly show with JDirty, Big Trox, and Troxy Cotton.

In a world where we are told that self-care looks like sleep and exercise, there's an invitation from our creator to rest, truly rest. As we recap what it looks like to build a rhythm of life as a church, Sabbath is one of the core, foundational practices that will push us to the very edges of our trust in God. Even though our culture talks about self-care, taking an entire day to rest and trust in our creator takes way more faith than you might think. When we rest in Christ, we are invited to share our burdens with him and eliminate striving. Sabbath, the practice of stopping, resting, delighting, and worshipping our creator, takes practice and persistence. If you want to learn more about this topic, watch the sermon series here - https://www.lakepointmuskego.org/sabbathandsimplicitySupport the show

*It's an agricultural disaster in Central and South Texas.  *The nation's premiere beef cattle educational event is just a couple of weeks away.  *Time is running short in Washington D.C.  *Livestock producers in the Texas Panhandle are keeping watch for screwworms.  *USDA is making half a billion dollars available to support beef processing.  *If you're putting up hay this summer, remember that what happens after cutting can have a big effect on forage quality.  *Texas A&M has a veterinary emergency response team built for disasters. 

*Flooding is devastating Central and South Texas.  *The Cattle Industry Summer Business Meeting is this week in Denver.   *More than half of U.S. farmers do not see any meaningful benefit in Artificial Intelligence.  *There's a new field guide to help beef cattle producers navigate a screwworm infestation.   *Livestock producers in the Texas High Plains are preparing for screwworms.  *A bill that would stop twice yearly time change is moving forward.  *Farmers and ranchers in the Rolling Plains of Texas are still waiting on the cool wet summer that was forecasted.  *Tetanus is not uncommon in large animals this time of year.  

If you've ever looked at a cotton field and thought, “Do I really need to spray again,” this conversation is for you. We sit down with Dr. Jeremy Green (Clemson) and Whitney Crow (Mississippi State) to get real about cotton insect management when the crop is all over the board and the weather is either too wet or too dry.We start with what cotton looks like right now across their regions, then zoom in on the decision that drives everything else: scouting. We talk about why a consultant's “shadow” can cost less than one insecticide trip, how economic thresholds keep inputs honest, and how missing one timing can turn into expensive resprays. From squaring into bloom, we sort through the usual suspects like plant bugs, stink bugs, aphids, and spider mites, plus the new complications of resistance and secondary pest flare-ups.We also dig into tools and tactics growers are asking about: Diamond timing during peak plant bug migration, what ThryvOn can and cannot do, how longer residual products change your spray schedule, and why stink bug decisions should follow boll injury and week-of-bloom risk instead of a fixed calendar. Then we tackle cotton jassid, why it seems tied to blooming cotton, and what late-season surprises could mean for termination timing. If you care about integrated pest management, cotton scouting, insect thresholds, and protecting yield while cutting costs, you'll get a lot from this one.Subscribe for more Cotton Specialist Corner conversations, share this episode with a neighbor, and leave a review.

Daniel Rood, author of In the Shadow of the Great House, recounts how, in 1933, agronomist Wofford Camp led the Associated Farmers of California to violently suppress cotton worker strikes in the Central Valley. This conflict represented the "cutting edge" of plantation capitalism, which Rood traces back to 17th-century Barbados. Figures like John Yeamans established the model of using manufacturing technology and enslaved labor to produce high-profit export crops like sugar. This system viewed labor as disposable and sought modern, lower-cost production for global markets. (9)OLD PLANTATION HOUSE

The impending holiday weekend has Andy and Brendan in a chipper mood for this Friday recording, although Andy is questioning whether the 4th of July being on a Saturday is actually a good thing. After "Federal Holiday Minute," there's a quick check-in on early returns from the U.S. Senior Open - including plenty of Blockie, already - and the John Deere Classic, where the leaderboard is serving as a warm welcome to "tier two" for Brian Rolapp. Andy and Brendan then discuss which "tier two" events should be bumped into "tier one" in 2028, highlighting longtime Tour stops like Colonial and PGA National that shouldn't be "relegated" for good. In perhaps the biggest news of the week, Sergio Garcia revealed that his quest to qualify for the 2026 Open Championship was derailed by eating lasagna for lunch in the middle of the two 18-hole rounds. Nobody can believe that a 46-year-old major champion would make such a ridiculous mistake, so Andy, Brendan, and PJ submit their own lists of Worst Meals to Eat Between Rounds. This discussion serves as a great segue into SGS Golf Advice, where listener questions about a Pinehurst trip, the Old Course Singles Ballot, and a YouTuber stiffing their country club are answered.

Weaving in Scotland In this episode of 'Unique Scotland', John Harbour explores the history and cultural significance of weaving in Scotland, inspired by his previous interview with Clare Campbell of the Highland tartan mill, Prickly Thistle. The podcast traces Scotland's textile heritage from its earliest beginnings through industrialisation and into the modern era. He talks about the survival of hand looms in the Outer Hebrides, especially in the Isle of Harris where the woven material is legally protected. And how did one man, with a loom in his garden shed satisfy NIKE's demand for 20,000 metres of cloth. You will hear an interview with Donald John Mackay who satisfied that order. Although ancient textiles rarely survive in Scotland's climate, archaeological evidence shows that Scots were working with fibres and woven fabrics thousands of years ago. Over centuries, weaving became an essential part of rural life, with families producing cloth in homes, crofts, and villages. This domestic industry laid the foundations for Scotland's later textile evolution. Scottish weaving developed around four key fibres, each shaping different regions and communities. Wool, Scotland's most iconic fibre, was produced from sheep in the Highlands, Islands, Borders, and upland regions, leading to famous products such as tweed and tartan. Flax, used to make linen, was cultivated mainly in eastern Scotland and supported important industries in Fife, Angus, and Perthshire. Cotton, imported through Atlantic trade, fuelled the growth of textile mills in Paisley, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and New Lanark, transforming clothing and fashion. Jute, imported from Bengal, turned Dundee into one of the world's leading industrial textile centres, producing sacks, canvas, and other durable materials. The Industrial Revolution transformed Scottish weaving by moving production from homes into mechanised mills. While industrialisation brought growth, employment, and international trade, it also disrupted traditional ways of life, reducing the role of hand spinners and weavers and creating new factory-based working conditions. Two of Scotland's most famous textiles are Tartan and Tweed. Tartan became closely associated with Highland culture, clan identity, and ceremonial dress. Tweed developed as a practical woollen cloth suited to Scotland's rugged climate before becoming internationally recognised for its quality and connection to country life. Royal patronage, particularly from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at Balmoral, helped elevate tweed's prestige. The pinnacle of Scottish weaving tradition is Harris Tweed, produced in the Outer Hebrides. Protected by law, Harris Tweed must be made from pure virgin wool, dyed and spun in the islands, and handwoven by islanders in their homes. Its unique colours, durability, and craftsmanship have made it one of the world's most respected fabrics, demonstrating how traditional skills can thrive in modern markets. John's interview with Donald John Mackay, a Harris Weaver for 70 years, brings to life this cottage industry where Harris Tweed is protected by law. Today, Scotland's textile industry combines large-scale luxury manufacturers with smaller craft businesses and independent weavers. Companies in the Scottish Borders, Elgin, Dundee, and the Outer Hebrides continue to produce world-class fabrics, while businesses such as Prickly Thistle emphasise sustainability, local identity, and traditional craftsmanship. Ultimately, Scotland's weaving story is one of adaptation, resilience, and cultural continuity. From prehistoric fibres and cottage industries to global fashion and luxury textiles, weaving remains deeply connected to Scotland's landscape, communities, history, and identity. You will also hear an interview with Dan, an army veteran whose cancer diagnosis brought him to Scotland to make memories for his family. John, a Navy veteren himself, organised the tour and a special visit to the prestigious Army club in Edinburgh, the Royal Scots Club.

It's not just a First of the Month recording - it's a First of the Month recording during the Summer of Cotton! After Sunday night's passionate discussion about the Travelers Championship and TPC River Highlands, it's only right that this Wednesday episode begins with a recap of Viktor Hovland's playoff win over Scottie Scheffler. Andy and Brendan discuss the one-hole finish on Monday morning and (sarcastically) wonder if Scottie actually hit his approach "too close" to the hole, forcing him to miss a four-footer to extend the event. They give Viktor Hovland his flowers before transitioning to this week's schedule, packed with Open qualifying, a senior major, and perhaps the PGA Tour's most preeminent "Track 2" event. Brendan runs down the early results from the Open Championship Qualifying Series, where podcast favorite Matthew Jordan has found his way into the field at Royal Birkdale! The Bryan brothers were among those who did not qualify, but that didn't stop the YouTube chat from badgering the R&A to show more of their shots on Tuesday afternoon's livestream. At the John Deere Classic, Zach Johnson is set to make his 24th start at his home event. He chose to skip out on this year's U.S. Senior Open in order to play the Deere and provided plenty of color in his pre-tournament press conference. Jordan Spieth also took to the microphone to pop Long Island golf fans and golf gamblers alike, even though he is a FanDuel Sportsbook ambassador in his free time. Andy shares his "5 Guys to Monitor This Week," leading with a former Deere champion and a big-name player making his professional debut. Lastly, PJ pops in for a brief preview of the U.S. Senior Open at Scioto Country Club as we all wait to see what's next for Michael Block on the Champions Tour.

A Monday playoff between Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler will serve as an exclamation point to one of the best golf weekends of 2026 thus far. Andy and Brendan! are fired up for this episode, recorded after watching a birdie-fest at TPC River Highlands, another women's major, and Blockie's near-perfect Champions Tour debut. They can't help themselves and begin with a brief section on the Dick's Open, an event that made some consider if the Champions Tour really needs Tiger Woods at all. Upstate New York's finest sporting event provided plenty of fodder, from Bob Papa singing Zac Brown Band, to the emergence of a "Paddy Stopper," and so, so much Michael Block content. The two then move on to the unfinished Travelers Championship, where a score of -21 got into a playoff to be held on Monday morning. Andy and Brendan discuss Viktor Hovland's turnaround from hitting hundreds of balls on the Shinnecock range after a missed cut last week to now potentially a Signature Event win in just seven days. They also debate whether Scottie Scheffler already missed out on multiple chances to win the tournament in regulation on Sunday afternoon on an extra-soft course after a lengthy rain delay. Andy is hung up on a Keegan Bradley quote from earlier this week alluding to the Travelers as a "vacation week" after a tough U.S. Open, and openly wonders if TPC River Highlands can fit into the PGA Tour's new Championship Series model. While the event itself is enjoyable, does the golf course leave too much to be desired as true test of professional golf? Haeran Ryu won her first major championship at the KPMG Women's PGA at Hazeltine, holding off a charge from Brooke Henderson, Ina Yoon, and Nelly Korda. The broadcast coverage was the big story of this Sunday, with a weather delay pushing the finish off of NBC and moving it to Golf Channel. A lengthy discussion about rights deals and coverage windows ensues, with ideas about ways for the LPGA to branch out and not be buried by non-major PGA Tour events on its biggest weeks of the year. Lastly, Andy and Brendan react to Alan Shipnuck's latest article on Phil Mickelson, full of more scandalous details following up on the Golf Digest report about Phil being removed from The Farms in San Diego.

On April 11, 1981, fifteen-year-old Barbara Cotton walked out of her home in Williston, North Dakota, and vanished without a trace. For decades, police dismissed her disappearance as a runaway case, relying on a timeline that may have been completely wrong. But as witnesses came forward, suspects died, and independent investigators uncovered long-forgotten leads, the story became far more disturbing. Was Barbara taken by a schizophrenic drifter? A serial predator passing through the oil fields? Or someone much closer to home? Tonight, we examine North Dakota's longest-running missing person mystery.   HAH DISCORD - https://discord.com/invite/bJdbpH3hQm   YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedAmericanHistory   TikTok - @hah_podcast hauntedamericanhistory.com   Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH   Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334 AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S Ebook GOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1 KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_ SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316   !!
