The guys break down whether the Cavs' recent 113-109 victory over the conference-leading Pistons serves as a definitive statement, potentially signaling that Cleveland is finally ready to challenge for the top of the East.

During the Cold War, some of the most dangerous encounters between East and West took place far beneath the ocean's surface. I speak with historian Dr. Paul Brown, author of Secret Warriors: British Submarines during the Cold War. Brown reveals the extraordinary covert missions carried out by Royal Navy submarines as they monitored Soviet naval bases near Murmansk and the Barents Sea. British boats gathered vital intelligence by recording the acoustic signatures of Soviet submarines, trailing enemy vessels, and observing major naval exercises. These missions were risky and occasionally resulted in collisions, such as the dramatic incident involving HMS Warspite in 1968. Along the way, Brown shares remarkable stories of Cold War espionage at sea, including a daring intelligence operation where a British submarine secretly observed the Soviet aircraft carrier Kiev from just a few feet away. This is a rare glimpse into one of the Cold War's most secretive battlefields: the depths of the ocean.

Send a textHeat pressed down on Newton in August 1871 like a hand over a mouth, and by midnight the town was a fuse. We open on a drought-stricken railhead where class divides sharpened nerves, the dance band was sent home, and the room held its breath. Then everything snapped. Hugh Anderson strode into Perry Tuttle's hall and dropped lawman Mike McCluskey with a shot that turned a tense crowd into a battlefield. Amid the chaos, a coughing teenager named James Riley locked the doors, drew twin Colts, and harvested the room with terrifying precision—an unassuming figure who authored one of the bloodiest gunfights on the frontier and then vanished into the Kansas night.From there, the wires caught fire. Editors rebranded Newton as “Blooton,” feeding the East's appetite for frontier horror while reformers seized the carnage to push temperance and law. We dive into how correspondent E.J. Harrington—writing as Allegro—built a legend that sold papers, including the polished lie of the “Great Duel” where McCluskey's brother and Anderson allegedly died together. We set the record straight: Anderson was smuggled South, healed, married, and lived long. The myth endured because it offered symmetry the facts refused to give.The real ending took shape in steel and soil. When rails reached Wichita, the cattle trade moved on. Newton traded saloons for schoolhouses, brothels for church steeples, and six-shooters for threshing machines. Mennonite farmers arrived with turkey red wheat, barbed wire cinched the open range, and a new civic identity took root. Through it all, Riley remained a shadow—possibly consumed by illness, possibly drifting down the line—proof that the West wasn't just won in gun smoke, but manufactured in headlines and remade by commerce and community.If this story reframed how you think about the Wild West—where legend wrestles with ledger—tap follow, share with a history lover, and leave a review telling us which version of the story you believe.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Friday. Munaf Manji wrapped the week on Catch That Ticket with a solo Friday episode focused on recapping Thursday's results and breaking down a short NBA card for March 6, 2026. The show finished 1 and 1 on official plays from the previous night. Uncle Dave's Arkansas State ticket fell short in an outright loss to Georgia Southern, while Manji cashed with Pistons Spurs under 228.5, surviving a tense finish that included several missed free throws in the closing minutes. Manji called it a fortunate result after a rough Wednesday card and said he hoped to build on that momentum heading into the weekend. The first game on his radar was Dallas at Boston, with the Celtics installed as a heavy favorite. He highlighted Cooper Flagg's return for Dallas after a nine game absence, noting the rookie logged 26 minutes and scored 18 points in Thursday's one point loss to Orlando. On the Boston side, Manji focused on the expected return of Jayson Tatum, who was listed as questionable but widely anticipated to play. He said the Celtics had managed a strong season without Tatum and argued that even a limited return over the final stretch could be a major boost, though he also cautioned that reintegrating Tatum might briefly disrupt Boston's offensive rhythm. Rather than laying the full game number, Manji said Dallas could be the better first half look, with Boston more appealing in the second half if fatigue set in for the Mavericks on the back to back. Manji's second featured matchup was New York at Denver. He backed the Knicks, citing their recent improvement after the All Star break and especially their rise on the defensive end. He acknowledged being wrong about New York earlier in the season and said the healthier lineup had changed the team's profile. He also pointed to Denver's uneven home form against the spread and the possibility of tired legs after the Nuggets leaned heavily on Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Christian Braun in Thursday's win over the Lakers. While waiting on the injury report, Manji said New York had the profile to win the game outright. He also touched on the rest of the board, including Portland at Houston, New Orleans at Phoenix, the Clippers at San Antonio, and Indiana at the Lakers. On Pacers Lakers, he leaned toward Indiana plus 9.5, citing the back to back spot for Los Angeles, the possibility of rest or reduced workloads, and his general distrust of the Lakers in that setup. Late in the episode, Manji addressed growing excitement around Charlotte futures in the Eastern Conference. He praised the Hornets for surpassing expectations, credited head coach Charles Lee and the organization's recent drafting, and said the franchise finally appeared to be building a real foundation. Still, he warned that talk of Charlotte winning the East was premature, especially given the lack of deep playoff experience on the roster. He said he planned to revisit that topic with Uncle Dave on Monday. Manji also promoted a Pregame offer that gives 50 bulk dollars for a 10 dollar purchase, describing it as a rare chance for listeners to sample daily, weekend or longer subscriptions at a significant discount. His best bet for Friday was Jayson Tatum over 6.5 combined rebounds and assists. Manji said he expected Tatum to play around 20 to 22 minutes and believed the Celtics star would ease back in by facilitating and rebounding rather than forcing offense. With Dallas allowing assists at a high rate, he projected a path for Tatum to clear the number even in a limited return. He closed by saying the weekend sports calendar was packed and that he and Uncle Dave would return Monday to break it all down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Daniyal Mueenuddin grew up in two vastly different worlds. As a child, he lived with his paternal relatives in Lahore, Pakistan. As a teenager, he spent summers on his maternal family's farm in Elroy, Wis. A product of both of those worlds, Mueenuddin sees himself as a translator of sorts. He intimately knows both U.S. and Pakistani culture — particularly the more rural, faintly feudal villages in southern Pakistan, where he now farms. He knows the distinctives and the overlaps between East and West, between rich and poor, between scarcity and comfort. He's channeled all of his knowledge into his new novel. Set largely in rural Pakistan, “This is Where the Serpent Lives” tells four interwoven stories that contrast the lives of servants desperate to escape their class, and the wealthy, Westernized elites who employ them. This week on Big Books and Bold Ideas, Kerri Miller talks with Mueenuddin about how his disparate childhood environments shaped his writing, what it's like to constantly code-switch as he travels between his farm in Pakistan and his current home in Oslo, and why the class system survives the fading of Pakistani feudalism. Guest: Daniyel Mueenuddin's first book, a collection of stories titled “In Other Rooms, Other Wonders” was a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. His new book — his first novel — is “This is Where the Serpent Lives.” Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Would Shai Gilgeous-Alexander be Public Enemy No. 1 if he played in the East? The guys debate SGA's “foul merchant” style, his polarizing look, and why the hate would be nuclear at Madison Square Garden. Then it turns into a full Knicks usage argument: Karl-Anthony Towns goes 7-for-8, grabs 17 rebounds, and somehow takes zero threes, so who's responsible, KAT, Brunson, or head coach Mike Brown? After that, the show swings to NFL chaos: the Giants reportedly came close on the Trent McDuffie trade, which fuels the idea that the new regime is hunting big moves, even wild ones like Maxx Crosby. Plus, a hard pass on Stefon Diggs, and a look at how the Giants can be aggressive without fans panicking over the salary cap.

EPYSODE 73: Shanti, by Shanti. Guest: Shanti guitarist Neil Seidel. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we explore Shanti, the self-titled 1971 album that stands as one of the great crossroads records of the West Coast counterculture. While other bands dipped their toes into Eastern music, Shanti went all-in. Guitarist Neil Seidel joins us with exclusive commentary, reflecting on the band's formation, its musical philosophy, and the creative environment that shaped the record. Together, we revisit an album that is equal parts jam-session, spiritual statement, and time capsule from an era where East and West merged. I hope you dig Shanti as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon for as little as $2/month using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @ ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠ ===LINKS=== Check out all of Neil's work (music and written) here: https://neilseidel.com Fransisco Lupica interview from 2017:⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvFDqZHbSMM⁠ The lone existing video of Shanti performing: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWR8NrdKVi8&list=RDhWR8NrdKVi8&start_radio=1⁠   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. As this album is not available on Spotify, this Epysode has no link to a playlist.

In this powerful episode of the Double Edged Sword podcast, Father Genard shares essential Christian Lent fasting tips rooted in Scripture and Assyrian Church of the East canons, defining fasting as true abstinence (soma in Aramaic) from food and drink—exemplified by Jesus' 40-day fast, Adam's prohibition from the tree of knowledge, and Moses on Mount Sinai. He outlines three practical methods for offering your fast during Lent's required weeks (first, middle, and last): full-day abstinence until Vespers (sundown) with constant prayer and Scripture; abstinence until lunchtime, then soma-compliant meals (no dairy, poultry, or seafood, though honey is allowed); or full-day soma food without strict abstinence for those unable. Father Genard stresses that Lent fasting transcends food scrutiny—focus instead on examining sins like hatred, pride, gossip, immorality, and lust, while avoiding temptation triggers (especially porn and inappropriate social media) as desires intensify (James 1:14). Supported by church tradition (2 Thessalonians 2:15) and extreme calls to holiness (Matthew 18:8-9), he urges blocking evil influences, distancing from sinful relationships, countering Satan's lies with Scripture (Hebrews 12:2, Ezekiel 33:11), and combining faith with good works like prayer and fasting for spiritual victory and eternal life.Bible Verses Mentioned (Orthodox Study Bible / Common Orthodox Translation Phrasing):Genesis 2:17 — but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.Matthew 4:1-2 — Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.2 Thessalonians 2:15 — Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.James 1:14 — But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.Matthew 18:8-9 — If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.Hebrews 12:2 — looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.Ezekiel 33:11 — Say to them: ‘As I live,' says the Lord GOD, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?'Psalm 37:1-2 — Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.2 Timothy 3:16-17 — All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.1 Timothy 3:15 — but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.Romans 6:21 — What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.2 Peter 3:10 — But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.Titus 2 (referenced generally for speaking things that are proper/sound doctrine and avoiding shameful things so no one despises you).

As our governments, institutions, and the public become more aware of the increasing pressures on material and energy availability, we've simultaneously seen powerful ripple effects for industrial policy, economic planning, and geopolitical dynamics. Parallel to this story are evolving strategies unique to each nation as new lines of power emerge alongside the trends of artificial intelligence, competing demands for rare earth metals, and an increasingly unstable global power balance that underpins all of it. How have these seemingly disparate factors combined to influence recent international events – and how can understanding them help us forecast the future of global governance and power?  In this episode, Nate is joined by financial and economic analysts, Craig Tindale and Michael Every, to discuss the widespread implications of growing geopolitical tensions over scarce resources and the rapidly changing foreign policy and economic statecraft that countries are implementing in response. Importantly, Craig and Michael emphasize the centrality of China and the U.S. as the two superpowers reshaping global alliances, and how industrial capacity and material constraints underpin each move made in their pursuit for dominance. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for clarity and realignment of the goals for economic and industrial policy as we leave behind the era of growth and grapple with a simplifying world. What can the long overlooked story of rare earth metals, energy resources, and industrial capacity tell us about ongoing geopolitical events? How might continued AI development play a key role in the future of economic statecraft and the international balance of power? And finally, how should we re-think what economic growth actually serves in an era of resource constraints, geopolitical competition, and ecological crisis? In other words, what is GDP truly for?

Jamal Collier joined Baskin and Phelps to share his insight on the Cavaliers and how they've been performing since they acquired James Harden ahead of the trade deadline. He talked about Harden's impact on not only Donovan Mitchell, but also Jarrett Allen and how he thinks this version of the Cavaliers would match up with the Pisons in a potential Eastern Conference Finals matchup. He also talked about the other teams in the East and who he thinks will be making it to the Finals, and where he thinks Giannis Antetokounmpo will wind up next season.

Is Cade Cunningham getting the respect he deserves… or is the hype machine in overdrive? This week on Alley Oop, Juju and Trysta welcome Zach Harper from The Athletic for a full-on NBA debate episode — and things get SPICY. We kick things off with the big question: Is Cade Cunningham an MVP candidate… or are we getting ahead of ourselves? Does he deserve praise for carrying Detroit — or shade for the results? From there, the besmirching spreads: Are the Spurs the second-best team in the West? Can ANYONE beat Team USA in Olympic basketball? Who are the true powerhouses — East vs West? Why won't Luka shoot when he's WIDE OPEN?! Kelsey Plum does an Aliyah Boston elbow impression and we cannot recover. It's debates, hot takes, chaos, and a LOT of shade.

Sina and Kumars fill Navid in on the abysmal response to this attack in the United States, Iran's ongoing retaliation against Israel and US bases in the region, and the massive mobilization of Shia Muslims in response to the news of Khamenei's martyrdom.

This week we continued our series “Why Church? Why Gather? Why Studio?” with a simple but important realization: we are Western people reading an Eastern book. Most of us don't realize the tension that creates. We live in a culture that begins with “I”—my faith, my truth, my relationship. But the Bible was written in a world that began with “we.” Identity wasn't self-determined; it was covenantal. Belonging came before choosing.That's why the church isn't just a group of individuals who share beliefs. It's a people, a body, a dwelling place of God. You can belong to Christ without gathering—but you cannot live out the full biblical vision of the church without it. The tension you feel isn't confusion; it's invitation—to rediscover belonging and be formed together.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube. If you would like to support STUDIO financially, you can do so here.Have a great week!

Only Parity Its a year that ends in 6, so just like 1996 with the Bulls and 2016 with the Warriors, we are due for an all-time great NBA-Team, right? Maybe not, but we have Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nations NBA-Team, here to talk about teams on the cusp of greatness between Oklahoma City, Detroit, and San Antonio, and what may hold them back come playoff time. If parity overtakes the season (along with blatant tanking), what teams might be surprise and win the West or East? Andrew brings up some regular season matchups that caught some playoff fever, then the two co-hosts deep dive the 7 proposed changes to the Draft Lottery system to battle tanking in the regular season. So suit up and take it in episode 381 with the NBA-Team!

The Devil's Ledger Week of March 2 Winter is doing what winter does — and depending on where you live, it's doing a lot of it. If you're under 35 and living in the Northeast, this may be the coldest winter of your life. In parts of the Southwest, it might be the warmest. Here in Los Angeles, it's been suspiciously perfect. Sorry to our friends back East. The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week Apparently, Bigfoot is alive and well… and wandering along power line clearings in the Upper Midwest. Multiple sightings, same week. Tall, broad, covered in dark hair, walking upright before disappearing into the tree line. Either it's misidentification — or something out there really prefers utility access roads. On The Devil Within We begin a two-part series on the possession of Anna Ecklund, one of the most documented exorcism cases in American history — a story that may connect back more than a century and across an ocean. On The Ides of April Alexander reaches Egypt and starts naming everything after himself — cities, allies, probably his lunch — until his exhausted army finally refuses to follow him any farther toward India. On Criminal Mischief Carolyn covers the trial of Kouri Richins, the mother who wrote a children's grief book after her husband's death — and now stands accused of causing it. On Taboo Treasures The guys dig into the long history of executions — and how capital punishment has become one of the most politically charged debates of our time. On Finding Me with Josh Wolf Josh continues his daily pursuit of accountability, honesty, and becoming the best version of himself — one uncomfortable truth at a time. This Week in Horror The Bride! reimagines the Frankenstein story in 1930s Chicago, starring Christian Bale, Jesse Buckley, and Jake Gyllenhaal. Follow The Devil's Ledger for weekly updates from across the Evio universe — and share it with someone who likes their news with a darker edge. Because sometimes the strangest stories aren't legends. They're the ones happening right now.
