Visit our website ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.majesticproduction.com/Folks, RAW from Mexico City was one of the loudest, most electric shows I've reviewed all year, and nobody breaks it down more honestly than I do, believe me.Rey Mysterio opened the show in a neck brace, wearing an Eddie Guerrero shirt, welcoming the crowd to RAW's first stop in Mexico in fifteen years — tremendous moment, folks. He cut part of his promo in Spanish, then brought out Stephanie Vaquer, fresh off winning the Women's World Championship back from Liv Morgan in her home country of Chile with a Skytwister Press. Vaquer spoke Spanish and English, calling it the joy of her life. That brought out Liv Morgan and her similarly beltless boyfriend Dominik Mysterio — Liv called Vaquer a hypocrite for celebrating "her" belt, insisted she's still the greatest women's champion ever anyway, called Rey a deadbeat dad, and called Vaquer a "puta." Dom piled on Rey too, so Rey clapped back with footage of El Grande Americano beating Dominik for the AAA Mega Championship at TripleMania 34. Dom challenged Rey and Vaquer to a tag match on the spot, but Adam Pearce shut it down since Rey isn't medically cleared. That's when El Grande Americano's music hit to a massive pop, becoming Vaquer's partner. Tremendous segment, this crowd was completely insane, folks.The tag match delivered — Vaquer and Americano set up a double 619, but the rest of Judgment Day ran in for the DQ. Afterward, Dominik disrespectfully yanked his own father up by the neck brace and shook him around, drawing massive heat from the crowd. Americano tried to make the save, but JD McDonagh cut him off with a moonsault, and Dominik finished Rey off with a frog splash from the top. Great heel heat all night for Judgment Day, folks.Je'Von Evans won a Men's Money in the Bank qualifier over Big Cass and Austin Theory with the OG Cutter — fun match. Chad Gable retained the Intercontinental Championship over Dragon Lee in a match that was AWESOME, folks — Lee hit a Styles Clash and still only got two, but Gable caught the ankle again and cranked in a brutal knee bar for the tap out. Lola Vice stole a Women's MITB qualifier from Kelani Jordan and Raquel Rodriguez with a slick rollup after reversing a Tejana Bomb attempt into a sleeper — fun match.And the main event, folks — Roman Reigns retained the WWE World Heavyweight Championship over Penta. Penta went for a springboard, but Roman punched him clean out of the air with another Superman Punch, followed by a spear for the pin. Short match, but the atmosphere in that building made it feel like a genuine can't-miss moment. Great night for this company, folks.LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and tell me — was this the best crowd WWE has had all year?Watch our full podcast here ➡️➡️➡️ anchor.fm/majestic-production

COLD OPEN QUESTION OF THE WEEK: In honor of The Butcher, if you had to have your wrestling name be “The” and a job, what would you pick? David and Kaz kick off the show by discussing the unfortunate passing of “The Butcher” Andy Williams (3:36), and “Superstar” Bill Dundee (7:37). After that, the guys set their sights on this past weekend's ‘Sunday Night's Main Event' (10:05), starting off with Lil Yachty surviving five minutes with Baron Corbin, leading to Trick Williams regaining the WWE United States Championship (11:49). The show continues with David and Kaz giving their thoughts on Liv Morgan retaining the Women's World Championship over Stephanie Vaquer by DQ (20:46), before giving their takes on Oba Femi being laid out in his old stomping grounds in Alabama (27:30). Next, the guys discuss Bayley's return to WWE TV on ‘Raw' (33:13), followed by their analysis of the Joe Hendry–JD McDonagh Funko Pop segment (38:52). David then asks Kaz how close Joe Hendry is to early main-roster LA Knight (45:54), before Kaz gives his takes on 946 blowing up the Bloodline's SUV to end ‘Raw' (53:20). The show wraps up with the guys quickly discussing the WWE Evolve cuts from last week (1:01:40), predictions for the Money in the Bank qualifiers (1:03:34), and some quick thoughts on a story Kyle Fletcher told about one of his tattoos (1:06:49).

Visit our website ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.majesticproduction.com/Folks, RAW was a tremendous mix of dominant faction warfare and total chaos, and nobody breaks it down more honestly than I do, believe me.The Vision opened the show in full force. Bron Breakker declared the group "complete" and said they now RUN WWE, thanks to his brother, the Master of the Tsunami and the Tribal Thief, Bronson Reed. The crowd chanted for Oba Femi, but Breakker said Femi isn't medically cleared and can chant all he wants. Reed buried Femi's "Ruler" nickname, bragging about "tsunami after tsunami after tsunami." Logan Paul insulted the crowd, Austin Theory pretended the tag titles mean something, and Maxxine Dupri called the fans "brokkies." Tozawa came out — not to fight, but to bring out Otis, and suddenly we had a match.Otis vs. Theory ended in a DQ when Bronson Reed jumped in with an elbow — an enormous waste of time, folks. The Vision mauled Tozawa and Otis afterward. But then Oba Femi appeared on screen shoving down officials who told him he wasn't cleared, and stormed the ring anyway. Running uppercuts on Reed and Breakker, a clothesline to the floor, shirt off to reveal the kinesio tape — the 2026 version of the old DDP rib-tape job. Theory tried a chair like a total geek and failed, Femi "pizza tossed" him across the ring, but Breakker speared Femi and Reed finished him with another Tsunami while the gaggle of geeks failed to help. Crowd couldn't decide whether to boo or cheer, but I loved it, folks.Jackie Redmond interviewed Alabama comedian Matt Matthews, interrupted by The Miz and Kip Wilson. Matthews didn't know who Miz was, actually hit a nice tijeras on Wilson, but Miz snuck in with the Skull Crushing Finale. Enormous waste of time — though Breakker speared all three of them later, and Matthews sold it pretty good.Breakker then won the Men's Money in the Bank qualifier over Rey Mysterio and Ethan Page with a Frankensteiner setup and a supercharged spear — super fun match, folks. Sol Ruca won the Women's qualifier after Bayley made her return, yanked the referee out to break up Lyra Valkyria's pin, letting Ruca steal it with the Soul Snatcher. Bayley then destroyed Valkyria afterward — she's back, folks.Joe Hendry beat JD McDonagh after Je'Von Evans showed up wearing a Funko Pop head — really dumb, this match could've been an email.And the best match of the night: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship was AWESOME. Raquel got ejected fast, Becky Lynch took her out for real, Roxanne Perez slid Liv the belt, Becky chased Perez through the crowd, and Liv waffled Vaquer with the title for the win. Tremendous chaos, tremendous match.Finally, the Usos and Jacob Fatu waited in the ring for Royce Keys, who instead lit their rental car on fire in the parking lot with his crew. I hope somebody got the insurance, folks. Crowd chanted OTC to close the show.LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and tell me — is Oba Femi the real star of this whole Vision saga?Watch our full podcast here ➡️➡️➡️ anchor.fm/majestic-production

And what makes a 'good' Jeff Jarrett match anyway? Join us as we watch along and find out.

Eddie hears Chyna is going to be on the Playboy cover. The same Eddie who spent months praising his own security and confidence and pride in her. The reaction is immediate and completely inconsistent. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap the September 11, 2000 edition of WWF Monday Night Raw, live from Phoenix, Arizona, two weeks before Unforgiven.Triple H draws Jericho as his surprise opponent and they run a fast, heated match before X-Pac runs in for the DQ. Triple H shoves him off and nobody explains anything. The DX dissolution continues, unaddressed. Later, in the Kurt Angle vs T&A match, Stephanie sneaks out despite Triple H's explicit instructions, and what follows is Tommy's unlikely standout of the night, a Looney Tunes sequence involving all three performers that works entirely because the execution is crisp and the performers are that good.Tazz, after getting knocked out by a David Hasselhoff portrait, grabs the mic and says exactly what everyone has been thinking. He can't compete with Lawler's political power. Nobody wants him here. The outsider is tapping out. Tazz has become just another victim of the WWF.

A former contender in the pro boxing ranks whose career ended in a disputed DQ loss in a 2015 match in Northern Virginia that left him in a vegetative state died on Thursday. Prichard Colon, 33, a native of Florida who relocated to Puerto Rico to train as an amateur boxer, was 16-0 as a pro going into the fight with Terrel Williams at EagleBank Arena on the campus of George Mason University on Oct. 17, 2015.   #boxing

A New York state judge is preparing to hear a trial between Black Diamond Capital Management and Bank of America, the result of which could provide a better understanding of how lender DQ lists are enforced. In this episode of Cloud 9fin, Jane Komsky unpacks the case and the potential impacts on the broader market with Polsinelli restructuring chair David Karp and 9fin reporter Tom Quinn.The discussion examines the three questions now facing the court: whether Bank of America should have settled a trade with an affiliate to a disqualified lender, whether it satisfied a requirement to provide an economic equivalent when the trade failed, and whether it acted as soon as practicable to find a solution.Karp argues that any ruling is likely to focus on Bank of America's post-trade conduct rather than overturn the core loan-market principle that a trade is a trade. The case also highlights the value of lender-of-record status, opaque DQ lists, voting rights and the risk to desks that leave trades unsettled.You can read our original story on the litigation here.Have any feedback for us?

Either he's playing in a grand final, or he's Everesting a climb in South Australia with Ed Langdon — completely untrained, in the hunt to be the heaviest person to ever do it.

I think it's more than I just got enough of it and wanted something different 7:39 PM@LeeShowrons​​Hey 7:40 PM@jaredknisely6213​​i dont enjoy anything of modern disney 7:40 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the best of the MCU 7:41 PM@cat_woe​​hey Andrew, I also thought the MCU movies were meh overall, but I remember having fun with Thor Ragnarok in particular 7:46 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Winter Soldier is a political thriller with superheroes in it. 7:46 PM@bryangillis1362​​Arguably She-Hulk is an outright comedy with superheroes 7:49 PM@LeeShowrons​​They are on Toy story five already. And the first Toy story has been around since 1995. I thought toy story would be done for by now. 7:49 PM@bryangillis1362​​Live-action remakes can be done well.

They walk through why the traditional Keysight ADS Memory Designer compliance flow is so slow, how false positives creep into JEDEC compliance results, and why running corners across fast, typical, and slow for a full DQ and command/address bus can balloon into nine-plus simulations and weeks of waiting. Ben and Tyler then demo their new tool, MEM Check Pro, which ingests the raw HDF5 waveform data you already generated and returns full DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR compliance results in under a minute — live on camera. Along the way the conversation digs into the real signal integrity and power integrity challenges behind modern data-center and aerospace hardware: thick backplanes and backside power delivery, managing loop inductance and PDN-to-PDN crosstalk, IBIS model quality, advanced laminate systems, and choosing the right decoupling capacitors. It's a practical look at how to trade days of simulation for seconds without giving up confidence in your results.

You know there is a gap between how your team trains and how your team performs. You've felt it. Gabe Rivera felt it too, and instead of talking about it, he built a system to close it. Full-time SWAT officer, Lead Faucet Tactical instructor, and founder of Mindset Tactical Solutions, Gabe sits down with Scott at the Texas Tactical Police Officers Association Conference in Round Rock, Texas to walk through eighteen years of hard lessons: how to vet instructors without getting burned by theory masquerading as experience, how competition shooting exposed gaps that thousands of hours of tactical courses never revealed, and how a small group of motivated cops turned a text thread into a sold-out law enforcement shooting match movement spreading from Southern California to Tennessee to TTPOA.This isn't a conversation about chasing classifications or social media clout. Gabe is relentlessly mission-focused: make the people around you better, lead by example, and build a culture where your weakest link is not weak for long. He breaks down how his agency went from a one-time thirty-two-hour active shooter block to annual refreshers, quarterly reps, and academy-level integration, and how the same forward-thinking philosophy is now driving a USPSA club, an intro-to-competition course for cops, and an intra-team quarterly competition with a plaque and serious bragging rights on the line.If you are a SWAT officer, a range sergeant, a team leader, or any cop who has ever wondered whether competition shooting is worth your time, this episode gives you the full picture, from Gabe's first humbling match experience alongside JJ Racaza to the stage-design lessons learned from rain-soaked stages at TTPOA this week. The roadmap is here. The people willing to help are already lined up. The only thing left is for you to start.Scott and Gabe also get into what it actually takes to put on a law enforcement match from scratch: finding a USPSA club willing to partner, building walls out of nothing, managing squad flow so nobody is standing around for eight hours, and leaning on sponsors like Howitzer Clothing to make the economics work. Whether you want to attend one of these matches or host one in your region, you'll leave this episode knowing exactly where to begin.In this episode: • Vetting instructors on tactics means prioritizing people whose techniques have been stress-tested for real, not just proven effective in Sims houses: one-off experiences are worth learning from, but not worth re-engineering your entire SOP around • Gabe's agency moved from a single thirty-two-hour active shooter block to academy-level integration plus annual refresher training plus quarterly reps after a post-incident debrief trip to Dallas surfaced the gap between their readiness and what actually-trained agencies were doing • Competition shooting exposed performance gaps that thousands of hours of tactical classes and certificates never did: the move to 'one match a month' then 'every match I can shoot' followed directly from realizing that class environments reward relative performance, while matches reveal absolute performance • The intra-team competition format Gabe built scores each team's top three shooters PLUS its bottom two, forcing accountability at the weakest link rather than letting high performers mask squad-wide deficiencies • The Southeast law enforcement match in Tennessee was the proof-of-concept Gabe and his crew replicated in the Southwest: copy the model, learn from their stage-flow lessons (including a full-service staff-reset format), and let the virus spread region by region • A USPSA section chair approved Gabe's agency-affiliated club to run official classifiers inside law enforcement courses, meaning cops can get their USPSA member number and classification within a course environment specifically designed around duty gear and relevant skill sets • Intro-to-competition classes for cops specifically address the three barriers Scott hears most: fear of DQ, not understanding stage planning, and not knowing how to sign up, and Gabe's model walks officers through a live match with coaching squad support their first time out • Sponsors like Howitzer Clothing (Eric Foss, Project Blue Lion) are funding JJ Racaza team courses and law enforcement match infrastructure outright, and USPSA clubs with materials and range facilities are the key first partnership to secure when replicating this model anywhere in the countryChapters: 0:39 Iron Sights intro and show mission 1:09 Welcoming Gabe Rivera and Scott's personal history with him 5:56 Gabe's background: 18 years in LEO and full-time SWAT 6:27 Origin of Mindset Tactical Solutions and active shooter training 8:15 Lead Faucet Tactical and the instructor vetting process 9:38 Dallas debrief, annual training evolution, and closing the readiness gap 24:26 What 'vet your instructors' actually means in practice 29:47 First exposure to competition shooting and Ben Stoeger's course 31:37 Training with JJ Racaza and the decision to go all-in on competition 44:03 Building a competition culture inside the agency 51:03 Launching the Southwest LEO match and learning from Tennessee 1:24:13 USPSA classification inside LEO courses and what is nextMentioned: Gabe Rivera — Owner and instructor of Mindset Tactical Solutions, full-time SWAT officer with eighteen years in Southern California law enforcement, and Lead Faucet Tactical instructor; primary guest of this episode. Dan Brokos — Founder of Lead Faucet Tactical; mentioned as someone Gabe assists as an instructor and who was teaching in Southern California during the week of the TTPOA conference. Ben Stoeger — World-class competition shooter whose Los Angeles-area private course required a USPSA B classification for entry, giving Gabe his first serious exposure to high-level practical shooting in 2015. JJ Racaza — World-class competition shooter who invited Gabe to shoot a match after training together, and who later ran private performance shooting courses for Gabe's SWAT team, funded in part by Howitzer Clothing. Cody — Referenced as a helpful contact associated with the Southeast law enforcement shooting match in Tennessee whose team provided guidance and support to the Southwest match organizers. Sean Griffith — Described as a top-ten shooter in the world who helped design stages for the TTPOA match and is cited as an example of elite-level competitors willing to invest time in helping law enforcement get into competition. Eric Foss — Associated with Howitzer Clothing and Project Blue Lion; credited with sponsoring JJ Racaza's private course for Gabe's team at no cost to the agency and with funding law enforcement match infrastructure. Anthony Coley — Mentioned as a recent Iron Sights guest whose attitude of asking for help openly was cited as a model for the law enforcement match-building community. Dustin Mowry — Named as a previous Iron Sights guest and one of the people involved in the TTPOA match effort whom Gabe has known since approximately 2015. Chancey Pogue — Named as a previous Iron Sights guest involved in the TTPOA match collaboration alongside Gabe. Bryan Williams — Named alongside Dustin Mowry and Chancey Pogue as a previous Iron Sights guest involved in the TTPOA match effort.

Dairy Queen does not sell real ice cream. Under federal law, much of what companies like DQ do sell also shouldn't be classified as food. There is also a new push to convince the public that real food is fake and fake food is real, while trying to convince them that vegetables are dangerous and processed slop is safe. And then there is the diarrhea story that just won't go away. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, subscribe below.

Stefan en Laurens gaan verder. Eerst nog wat losse eindjes. De snelste Touretappe ooit, handschoentjes, de DQ van Philipsen (oh nee, toch niet) en ook de halve finale Argentinië-Engeland houdt de gemoederen bezig. Pas daarna gaat de blik op etappe 12. Misschien wel de laatste kans voor de sprinters, of gaat ‘ie onderweg zwaar genoeg zijn om er flink aan te rammelen? En hoe zat het ook alweer met die 3-secondenregel en hoe zien de laatste kilometers voor de lead-out mannen en hun sprinters eruit?Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

$20K, one point, zero room for error — Nathan joins the pod fresh off winning the first-ever Paddletek One Point Challenge with Zane as his partner. We break down how they actually pulled it off, plus the chainsaw serve that almost got them DQ'd in the final. Also this week: the Shock swept the 5s at Beer City Open, Zane's prop bet died in front of everyone, and there's a new S-tier. Federico Staksrud's about to be the most valuable trade chip in the league — we rank who should go get him. Kate Fahey vs. Jorja Johnson gets heated. And Zane's got a real answer for how to stop teams from hunting Anna Leigh Waters all game. Then the actual news: Paddletek just bought PIKKL and signed the whole Johnson family — JW, Jorja, and Julie — plus Hurricane Tyra Black. Ron and Joe Saslow explain why that deal happened, why paddle brands keep eating each other, and whether Padel is about to eat pickleball's lunch. Oh, and there's a cereal draft.

It's been said that you can spot an American from a mile away. Travelers to Europe are advised to adjust their attire to blend in with locals and avoid looking so … casual. The French think Americans are loud and rude, and Europe has a long tradition of sneering at how classless we all are, even before Trump.I spent a month in Italy, and it's a beautiful place. The slow living, the long naps when all the stores shut down for hours during the day, the tiny cars, the laundry drying on the balconies, the fresh food at the Farmer's Market. I feel lucky that when I came back from Italy, I was pregnant and having my baby is the single greatest thing that has ever happened to me. But I'm also glad she grew up in America.I used to travel to France to cover the Cannes Film Festival, and again, I admired their way of life, the food especially. But every time I stayed too long, I began to miss my home in America. There is something thrilling about living in a free country that I've never felt anywhere else.It seems to me that if you are born here, you make up your life as it goes along. It is not planned out for you, necessarily, although in some cases, I guess it probably is. In my case, it wasn't. I knew I could invent myself any way I wanted. And if I didn't like that version, I could reinvent myself. We're like our country, a work in progress. It's always there for the taking, that promise of opportunity.Donald Trump is all of America's freedoms wrapped up in one imperfect man. He broke through the thick layer of oppressive thought and speech and showed the world that here, you really can say anything you want - as long as some crazed totalitarian doesn't try to shoot you. That's the country I want to live in. It isn't that the greatest writing or art has come from a place like America. Plenty of great works have come from places that don't center freedom as their main objective. But once you've tasted it, you can't give it up.In his speech last night, Trump said:The American founding represents the best ideas and traditions in history by the best people, like you. You can be loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America. You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both. As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, tell our children that we live on stolen land or that our heroes were oppressors, they're doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking our future. Not going to let that happen.They're trying to tear down the great American character to destroy the people who declared independence, who crossed the Delaware, who settled the West and conquered the skies. You know who those people are. But we will never let that happen.In America now, two stories are competing to claim the right to rule the future. Trump is telling the better story, the one America was founded on and the one we've all believed, at least up until recently, when a new wave of progressives decided that the better story paints America as a corrupt, rotten, white supremacist empire that has to be torn down to the studs and rebuilt.They must be terrified about the 2030 Census because they've decided to die on the hill of illegal immigration, which is fast becoming their most important issue. That, alongside Democratic Socialism, is a recipe for disaster.This was Bill Clinton's bummer message on the Fourth:I always thought Bill Clinton was a good president, but reading that just now makes me think he wasn't. All he's ever been able to do is point the finger at the other side and never offer any real solutions. He's not the man in the arena. He's the man on the sidelines.What I love about Trump and his supporters is how much they love America. They love it so much that they plant flags all over their homes. They admire the Founding Fathers. They call themselves Patriots. We didn't have that kind of pride on the Left when I was growing up.And even now, so many see the American flag and the love of country as dangerous, racist, bigoted, fascist. Whoever told those people that is what MAGA is about lied. They're protective of America's laws and its border. That is out of love for the country. The Left has taken almost everything from them. They've locked them out of culture, forbidden them from participating in any of their major events, dehumanized, demonized, and disenfranchised them. But the one thing they couldn't take was their citizenship. They hit the jackpot just by being born in America. To think it would be so easy for people all over the world to come here illegally and claim that prize or to come here and attempt to remake America into something it was never meant to be devalues the one thing they treasure most of all. I've always been a proud American. I've always preferred this country over any other, but only in the last few years have I understood what it means to be a Patriot, to be ready to fight for the country I love. And that is because of the people I've gotten to know on the Right.This country is worth fighting for. I might not agree with all of the policies on the Right, or even Trump himself, all of the time, but I'd rather have the future of this country in the hands of people who love it the way Trump does than people who hate it, the way so many on the Left do, just because their candidates are weak and their policies are toxic. I wanted to write 250 things I love about America, but it got too long, so this will have to do. Here are just some of the things I love:I love the interstates as part of the great legacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower.I love the Pacific Ocean because it stretches along the state. I love Catalina Island off the California Coast, where I spent many a summer with my best friend.I love seeing our history in the many cultures that came here, like Chinatown, Little Italy, Mexican food in LA, soul food in the South, Irish bars and pubs in the middle of nowhere. And yes, you can appreciate a nation of immigrants while still policing our borders now. I love how nice people are in some places, like California, Ohio, and Iowa, where they smile at you on the street.I love the weather extremes, from the dusty plains to the snowy mountains to hurricanes by the sea.I love the historic monuments from the Civil War and the Revolutionary War.I love the town squares that you can still see if you drive through the middle of America. Even though many are abandoned, they still look like hope to me.I love how each town square has a church, a post office, and a school.I love the many farmlands that blanket the Midwest.I love the small mom-and-pop coffee drive-throughs, and even the convenience of a Starbucks in nearly every town.I love Route 66 and how people still drive it and visit the forgotten places.I love the absurdity of Las Vegas, how it sprouts up impossibly in the middle of the desert.I love the American writers who helped shape our country's sense of itself - Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Flannery O'Connor, Richard Ford, Maya Angelou. I love the musical traditions that started here: Jazz and the Blues. And became Rock n' Roll. I love the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and the town that still remembers it.I love diners and dive bars.I love Gone with the Wind and how it's still the highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation. I love The Twilight Zone and find it timeless, as relevant today as it was in the 1950s.I love the footprints at the (Grauman's) Chinese Theater in Hollywood.I love the US military and its devotion to the country. I love the wildflowers that bloom in California every year.I love soft-serve ice cream at the DQ.I love Levi's.I love New York pizza.I love Solvang in California.I love driving up the Oregon coast. I love the songs of Bob Dylan.I love the tap dancing of Fred Astaire.I love how anyone can be a star on YouTube, no matter where they come from, but YouTube couldn't have been invented anywhere but America.I love how I could build a business as a single mom in a one-room guesthouse in Van Nuys, and that business would, five years later, become profitable because I worked hard and had a good idea. And then, when my career went up in flames in 2024 because I voted for Trump, I could build another career on Substack because that is what America is all about - inventing and reinventing yourself.I love the innovative spirit that built America in real life and online.I love reading about the early settlers, the Puritans, and the homesteaders, how much they sacrificed to help make America a home. And I love the history of the Native Americans, too, even if so much of it remains a tragedy now. I love high-speed internet and Wi-Fi that are available almost everywhere, and if they're not, I have a hotspot.I love the old American cars that were not just exceptional but beautiful.I love the tradition of baseball.I love that people faithfully watch football, even if I don't.I love the tradition of sourdough bread all over social media.I love that the best basketball players in the world are from here.I love that every state is different from one to the next.I love Harper's Ferry, how it's frozen in time.I love that we found a way to move on from the trauma of our past with slavery and how we fought a bloody Civil War to end it. I love that we were the good guys in World War II. We did the right thing in entering the war and helping the Allies win. I love that you can be anything here. The door is always open. It's up to you to walk through it.I love that America is a Christian nation, and you can see that if you drive across it. But it's also a country that stands for freedom of religion, too.I love the American comedians: Groucho Marx, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, and Johnny Carson.I love that the best films from the 1970s were American movies, like The Godfather, The French Connection, Taxi Driver, and Network. But I also love more modern masterpieces by American filmmakers, like No Country for Old Men and Sideways.I love that people play the lottery, thinking one day they will hit the jackpot. They never will, but they can still dream.I love Thanksgiving and the way we celebrate it in America, which is to say, all together as one big dysfunctional family.I love the tradition of Halloween and how every October, the pumpkins and costumes come out. I love the way the weather changes. I love the Declaration of Independence and those who dared to build this wild, untamed, optimistic work in progress. I love that America is always looking to the future to find a better version of itself and its people. I love that so many Americans still believe in the American Dream.I love watching the movie Jaws on the 4th of July.I love that people watch fireworks, even if I never do, because they traumatize my dogs.I love that we have a holiday just to celebrate the day we became a country, a ragtag group of deplorable revolutionaries who set out to build a brand new country. Oh, the audacity of it. I love living here and would not want to live anywhere else. Happy 250th Birthday, my beloved country.Happy 4th to you, dear readers. Thanks for everything. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.sashastone.com/subscribe

Yes, they talk about the NCAA Champs for a good portion of the episode, but this episode is about so much more (as usual)! Des and Kara start with some hilarious catch-up stories where Kara can't stop laughing (sorry Adam!). Then, they dig into the LA Grand Prix results where Parker Valby ran another PR, and Josh Kerr ran an 800m in prep for his WR attempt. Of course, they talk about the NCAA Champs where there was a potential WR run in the prelims of 110 hurdles. But, will it count due to the doping protocols of the NCAA? There was also a big DQ in the women's 5K. Fair or not? Plus, what does it all mean for NIL as the professionalization of the NCAA continues... Finally (before a top 5), they discuss a big doping positive from the pro ranks with an unusually short punishment timeline. Was it justified or should it have been longer?? It's all a bit complicated, and Des and Kara are here to simplify for you! To support the pod and get your LEVER Movement system, use code NOBODYASKEDUS for 20% off here...
