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!!

Where have you gone Joe….not DiMaggio but Maddon? Sacked as manager of the Angels last year, Maddon would like to manage again but a recent book critical of how upper management siphons decisions from managers may hinder him. “The Book of Joe” is selling well but didn't earn the 69 year Maddon a job this year. He still wants to manage and even join a front office but also wants to make sure it's the right team that agrees with his philosophies. Maddon guided the Tampa Rays to the World Series in 1998 but did one better taking the Chicago Cubs all the way. It was their first World Series title in 108 years. That earned him a unique place in history but 3 seasons later he was let go by Theo Epstien and that was a shock to Maddon who had great success during his 5 year tenure.Meanwhile, Maddon took up golf and claimed to play almost every day last summer though he would rather be managing this spring, summer and fall.

I guess I'm feeling a tad introspective – and it's likely because we're nearing our 5-year pod-versary. Yup, 5 years ago David Axelrod was our inaugural guest, fresh off an historic Cubs World Series win. Today, the Cubs are 10 ½ games back of a Wild Card spot. They kinda stink. Democracy also seems to be a wild card in the United States these days, and Axelrod is doing what he can to preserve it, via his own podcast: The Axe Files.So … democracy in the USA … writ-large that's what we'll be talking about with our guest today, Keith Boag, who's making his 3 rd appearance on The Herle Burly! In his stellar career at CBC, as Chief Political Correspondent with years working in the U.S., Keith has observed and reported on political discourse down there and stood witness to the erosion of democratic norms. So today we're going to talk about:The January 6th hearings … what's the import and the impact?How should Trump be treated going forward, and extrapolating further … what would another Trump term be like?What's the media's role in covering stories and managing issues?What will Joe Biden be doing 2 ½ years from now?

We've got violence happening across the country, politicians deciding how people should use their bodies, inflation and rising grocery prices, and oh yes, let's not forget there's still a pandemic going on.

For Howard H. Prager, he's made it a point to make someone's day — each and every day. Thankfully, Howard has compiled some fantastic stories of people making each other's day and offers plenty of tips so you can go do the same in your neck of the woods.

Since the age of 10, J.J Weinberg knew what he wanted to do. Exactly what he wanted to do. He told his mom that he was going to go to the American Academy of Art. Soon after, he won his first art competition, painting a “Just Say No” poster. That's how his journey began. J.J. always had entrepreneurial aspirations. When he was 13, he bought 20 copies of “Spawn #1” dreaming that someday, he'd open a comic book shop. He's still working on it. But he enrolled in the Academy of Art thinking he'd become a comic book artist, studying under the iconic Alex Ross. There, the tutelage of Dr. Trapp helped J.J. develop his own unique style. J.J. has accomplished a lot since college. His painting “Midas' Love - The Gold Kisser” won the Grand Prize award at the 2015 Pop-Up Art Festival, he was nominated for the Kennedy Artist Fellows Award in 2016, and his startup Artunity won the People's Choice Award for the Startup of the Year in 2019.

Here is the audio transcription to an article Brian wrote after the Cubs won the World Series. An iconic moment in sports, culture, and fans everywhere after 100+ years of waiting. More importantly, this episode explores what a Cubs World Series meant to his family. Enjoy....
Responses tell us a lot. Search Youtube for reactions to the Cubs World Series win and you'll find grown men crying and adults running around houses like kids. Watch a dad surprise his family by coming home earlier than anticipated from a military deployment and you'll see a reaction that is fitting for the occasion. Reactions to good things are just natural. The life of the Christian is to simply be lived in response to the awesome news that the Gospel brought to us. When the Gospel has gripped our hearts, it can't help but flow out of the response of our life. This week we talk about what the life lived worthy of the Gospel looks like. A life worthy of the Gospel is the most powerful picture we bring to the showing and telling of Jesus to the watching world. Let's learn together in Philippians 1:27-30 what a "manner of life worthy of the Gospel" looks like.
The Cubs World Series celebration continued this week with the championship ring presentation Wednesday following the banner raising on Monday. The rings, 108 years in the making, spared no detail in celebrating the relief of the longest drought in professional sport. 108 diamonds encrust the mammoth piece of jewelry, with representations of the Wrigley Field marquee, player name and number, the 'W' flag, the final postseason series totals, and notably, a goat's head. The Cubs have now taken two of three from each of their first three opponents and look to do more against the Pittsburgh Pirates as they put the 2016 World Series championship celebrations in the rearview mirror.
Writer Matt Fraction joins the podcast to talk baseball and comics. We discuss the Cubs World Series win, growing up a Cubs fan, the future of Cubs fandom and the 1985 Bears. Turning to comics, we discuss Casanova, his long-running Image book. We talk about the 1960s spy influences, Howard Chaykin and American Flagg, metatextual references in the series, working on the series with Gabriel Ba (@gabirel_ba) and Fabio Moon (@fabiomoon) and more. Then we talk about ODY-C, his gender-flipping space opera retelling of the Odyssey. We discuss its creation, working with artist Christian Ward (@cjwardart) and more. We end with discussing potential upcoming TV work for Matt and Kelly Sue DeConnick (@kellysue), pitfalls of comics adaptations on the big/small screen, Iron Fist, Hawkeye, the gone-but-not-forgotten Fantastic Four twitter and being off social media.

Egyptian-based journalist and Chicago native Ashraf Khalil (@ashrafkhalil) joins the show to talk Cubbies and the world of popular culture. First, we talk about what it was like to experience the Cubs World Series win while halfway around the world. We also discuss how Cubs fans will be viewed now that they are no longer "lovable losers." Then, we talk about watching American sports abroad, sports podcasts include those by Dan LeBatard and Tony Kornheiser, watching or not watching the NFL in 2016 and more. Then, we talk pro wrestling, WWE getting mainstream coverage, watching the network vs youtube, American wrestling versus lucha watching habits and reminiscing about old school grappling. Next, we talk current comics, what Ash is reading (Chew, Sex Criminals, Revival) and what he should check out next (Vision, Lazarus, Southern Bastards, The Black Monday Murders, Casanova, The Goddamned). We end with a look at how the Presidential Election is seen in the Middle East and Red vs Blue dynamics across the country. Note: We apologize for the podcast hiatus. Health issues of the ENT variety made doing a show problematic. Hopefully, things will be back to a more regular schedule soon. We tried to edit out any extraneous coughing and other issues, but some may have slipped through. Thank you for your patience.
Volatility Review featuring Mike Thompson, Portfolio Manager, Typhon Capital What is up with VIX term structure? How is Typhon Capital working with this contango? Hint: reverse mullet, AKA Tellum. Russell's Weekly Rundown CBOE Holdings reports September 2016 trading volume: Total ADV Up 25% from August 2016, 3% from a year ago. Highlights: September Index options traded at CBOE and C2 had an ADV of 1.8 million contracts, up 24 percent from August 2016. SPX options ADV of 1.1 million contracts up 26 percent from August 2016. New Study: CBOE and Fund Evaluation Group, LLC announced findings from a study of four CBOE strategy performance benchmark indexes designed to track the performance of positions in Russell 2000 (RUT) index options. VIX Cash: Back below 13 handle. When might we see #Trumpocalypse? How would a Cubs World Series victory impact the VIX? Volatility Voicemail: Listener questions and comments Comment from AlphaJack: Cool piece in Barrons about XIV. Reminded me of what you guys always talk about with these inverse products and the roll risk. Short Term only! Buyer beware! Worth discussing on a show? Comment from ThinkTankTrading: The VXX roll yield is a net neutral roll and the drag is from the rest of the holdings decaying down the curve. VXX roll is like trading a dollar for four quarters they are rolling notional values not equal contract amounts. If the roll yield caused the drag Barclays would be broke. 1/30th roll isn't the issue it's the 29/30 that's now decayed. https://sixfigureinvesting.com/2016/09/the-cost-of-contango-its-not-the-daily-roll/ Question from Jim Collins: Are transcripts available for Russell's interviews? (after last episode when talking about CBOE/RMC) Crystal Ball: Prognosticating and speculating Last week: Mark L. - 12.6 Mark S. - 14.5 Russell - 13.70 This week: Mark L. - 12.25 Mark S. - 12.75 Mike - 12.98 Russell - 12.95
