MLB.com's Brian McTaggart joins Wex and AC to discuss the Astros' deciscion to bring back Joe Espada and Dana Brown for the 2026 season

Sometimes the most important decisions for our health are the ones we don't think about until it's almost too late. Breast cancer screening is one of those things; we'd all rather not face it, but the truth is, the earlier we pay attention, the more power we have. That's why I wanted to have this conversation with two incredible leaders in women's health who are changing the way we think about mammograms and breast cancer detection.   Dr. Chirag Parghi, a Breast-Specialized Radiologist and Chief Medical Officer at Washington Radiology, explains why starting mammograms at 40 can make all the difference, especially if you have dense breast tissue. He also shares how new imaging tools, combined with artificial intelligence, are helping women avoid unnecessary biopsies and get clearer answers. Dana Brown, CEO of iCAD, brings such an inspiring perspective on how AI is transforming cancer detection around the world and why this matters to every single one of us.   We also talked about the simple, everyday choices we can make that support breast health and why being proactive really is the best gift we can give ourselves. After you listen, if you're struggling with energy dips, mood swings, or hormone changes, I'd love for you to join me in my Mastering Your Hormones Masterclass at dranna.com/hormones. It's where we dig into what's really driving those symptoms and how to feel like yourself again. And because I'm always looking for ways to support you: my Julva cream has been life-changing for women dealing with dryness or discomfort, and I have to say, I am obsessed with the new Mighty Maca Mango flavor. It's so refreshing in sparkling water, and it gives me the energy boost I need to keep up with life.   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction. [00:03:44] Importance of mammography. [00:05:34] AI in mammography and its benefits. [00:09:31] iCAD and AI in breast imaging. [00:12:47] Breast density and calcifications. [00:19:51] Comparison of mammography techniques. [00:21:58] MRI and ultrasound in breast imaging. [00:49:10] Guidelines for mammography screening.   Memorable Quotes: "This is such an important topic. This saves lives. The more women you reach out to, if you can get 200 women to get their screening mammogram, you will save one life." [00:03:48] – Dr. Chirag Parghi   "The key takeaway is not all mammograms are created equal, and it's important to know what to ask for."

Dana Brown & Joe Espada Hold End of Season Media Availability

As teams across both the American and National leagues clinch their playoff berths, the Astros are still in contention for a playoff spot, with time now racing against them, as only one final series remains in the season. Losing their last 5 games, the Stros slip out of first place as the Mariners go on to take the Division for the first time since 2001. Set to take on the Angels in their last series of the season and set to conclude their series against the Athletics this afternoon, the Astros must win 3 of their last 4 games, along with some help from a couple of other teams, to have a chance at making the Wild Card round. With playoff spots filling left and right, Astros GM Dana Brown weighs in, a bit optimistic for the Astros and their 2025 season.   

Now just 10 games away from the initial start of the postseason, baseball heats up as teams battle away in contention for one of the few playoff spots as we approach the end of the regular season. Set to conclude the Silver Boot Series today, still half a game behind Seattle and roughly 4 games ahead of the Rangers, the Astros appear to be on the verge of closing out their division race and taking back their spot at the top of the division. Discussing a few ongoing issues, including injuries and production as we enter the most highly anticipated part of the season, Dana provides a sense of tranquility for the city of Houston and Astros fans heading into the final stretch of the year.

Entering the final stretch of the season with teams hoping to claim a playoff spot, the hype surrounding the start of the postseason has heightened, followed by tight races between teams all across the league. Setting a franchise record having made 8 consecutive playoff appearances, followed by 7 consecutive ALCS appearances, the Astros look to be on the brink of possibly being put out of playoff contention following the AL West's tight division race this year. Losing back-to-back series and still unable to score runs with runners in scoring position during this crucial time of the season, Dana weighs in on the Astros' recent struggles and hopes of pulling it together to win the pennant race.   

Looking to make the postseason and still leading the American League West Division ahead of their competitors, the Astros begin to draw lots of concern for fans after yesterday's loss to the Yankees. Teeing off against one of their biggest postseason rivals, the Astros lose their series opener with a final score of 7-1, leaving many shocked following the club's recent struggles, hoping to improve them before the postseason arrives. Unable to score runs with runners in scoring positions, followed by poor base running, Astros GM Dana Brown breaks the silence with a few answers to questions many have.       

Returning home to Daikin set to tee off their 9-game homestand, the Astros somehow stay afloat, still leading the division roughly 2 games ahead of the Mariners. Losing their series opener to the Colorado Rockies yesterday with a final of 6-1, many began to question if this Astros club can sustain their position atop of the AL West Division and through the postseason. Addressing a few things, Dana shares a few resolutions regarding the Astros' recent struggles and what to expect as we course through the last 30 games of the season.   

Anticipating a must-see pitching duel yesterday between Hunter Brown for the Astros and Tarik Skubal for the Tigers, surprisingly, both teams were unable to put up a run through 9 scoreless innings. Forcing the game into extra innings, the Tigers go on to walk it off with a 1-0 victory, taking the series win over the Astros with the rubber match set this afternoon. Still leading the AL West 2 games ahead of the Mariners and evaluating the Astros' recent series against Baltimore and Detroit, Dana Brown addresses a few lingering questions many have regarding the production in the clubhouse.

With the division race beginning to heat up, the Astros' lead has merely diminished as the Mariners come roaring back into the relay, now tying the Astros for first place in the AL West Division. Following last night's 14-1 loss to the Red Sox and now tying the series 1-1, Dana Brown joins and shares a few pointers from the Yankees series, a general overview of the Red Sox's series, and updates on a couple of players still on the IL. As injuries continuously become an ongoing issue for the Astros, Dana also shares a bit of news on a new name recently placed on the IL for a 15-day stint: Josh Hader.   

Ross Bolen discusses the Houston Astros winning their 3-game series against the Washington Nationals, a rollercoaster of a July, the Ramon Urias trade, and injury updates. NOTE: I recorded this at 2:30 PM CST because I had to, and obviously that was before the Carlos Correa and Jesus Sanchez trades plus whatever else Dana Brown does before the deadline. I'll discuss all of that when I'm back from vacation next week. Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/@BangingTheCan⁠⁠⁠ Presented by Bolen Media: ⁠⁠⁠BolenMedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
