Edinburgh coach Sean Everitt insists his team needs to storm out of their castle instead of being preoccupied defending it when they take on the Bulls in their United Rugby Championship quarter-final at Lofts Versfeld on Saturday. Everitt told the hosts of To The Last Drop his team will have to stick to what has worked for them this season if they are going to optimise their performance in Pretoria. Edinburgh is undaunted about the task facing them to win at Loftus for the first time and they draw inspiration from compatriots Glasgow Warriors' win in Pretoria in last year's final. Bulls director of rugby Jake White meanwhile underlined the need for his team to dictate terms from the start of the match. In their last clash against Edinburgh they failed to do so and paid the price. To The Last Drop hosts predict a difficult afternoon for the Sharks in their clash against Munster but expect the hosts to win in Durban if they exercise good game management. They expect the Stormers to have their hands full in their clash against the Warriors in Glasgow.

Connect The World EP0130 | Jack Everitt | THNDR | UK
One of my favorite parts of this show is getting to reflect back on the complexities of person's career, especially in the realms of music and art. So, it's an extra treat when I get the opportunity to talk with someone just climbing up that ladder. Capri is a young Canadian pop singer and songwriter now living in LA. She holds a Guinness World Record for singing 80 anthems in 80 countries in their native languages. Her songs and videos have amassed millions of streams and one of her recent releases, Arcade, hit #17 on the Billboard charts. We talk about all this, and more, including the recent TikTok shut down controversy and the marketing strength of the platform itself.
Today's episode features regular guest Aaron Everitt, along with his 17 year old son, Emerson, discussing the election coverage and election season of 2024. We started at 7:30ish PM MT, and called it a night by 9:30 PM MT as it became obvious Trump was going to be #47. Aaron is a highly-acclaimed X.com creator of independent material, including a series of 100 essays on philosophical and economic topics, many of which supported the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He and Emerson were able to spend an hour with the then-Presidential candidate in Denver, and we spent time talking about Aaron's journey going from frustration with the candidate Trump to optimism over the team of leaders who have joined his campaign. For your Host, I was a first-time Trump voter this year, after voting Gary Johnson and Kanye West the past two elections. I voted for a major party for President for the first time with this vote, and did so both to acknowledge the coalition of leaders, and also to punish Democrats for obvious lawfare, suppression of free speech, and a very non-democratic primary selection process, including the black-balling of Kennedy, and the installation of Harris.

EMPEROR AGRIPPINA THE YOUNGER WAS THE DREAM: 1/8:: Nero: Matricide, Music, and Murder in Imperial Rome by Anthony Everitt (Author), Roddy Ashworth (Author) https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/sunspot-update-after-going-through-the-roof-last-month-sunspots-drop-into-the-attic-this-month/ There are many infamous stories about the Roman emperor Nero: He set fire to Rome and thrummed his lyre as it burned. Cruel, vain, and incompetent, he then cleared the charred ruins and built a vast palace. He committed incest with his mother, who had schemed and killed to place him on the throne, and later murdered her. Nero has long been the very image of a bad ruler, a legacy left behind by the historians of his day, who despised him. But there is a mystery. For a long time after his death, anonymous hands laid flowers on his grave. The monster was loved. In this nuanced biography, Anthony Everitt, the celebrated biographer of classical Greece and Rome, and investigative journalist Roddy Ashworth reveal the contradictions inherent in Nero and offer a reappraisal of his life. Contrary to popular memory, the empire was well managed during his reign. He presided over diplomatic triumphs and Rome's epic conquest of Britain and British queen Boudica's doomed revolt against Nero's legions. He was also a champion of arts and culture who loved music, and he won the loyalty of the lower classes with fantastic spectacles. He did not set fire to Rome. 1799 Agrippina the Younger

This week on The LoCo Experience, we welcomed back Aaron Everitt, our sponsor through his business, Logistics Co-op, and regular guest of the show for real estate updates and real talk on national and local politics. Aaron has been creating content on X the past year or so as @loanly_hipster, some of which has been supportive of RFK's Presidential run, and he caught the attention of the campaign a few months ago. In May, Aaron was invited to have a one-on-one meeting with RFK prior to the Rally in Aurora, and he shares his reflections on that meeting - and on the potential routes to victory for the campaign - and the many efforts being made to oppose it. Also fresh in the news is the Trump 34-count conviction for hush-money something something, and the first day on the stand for “Mr. Science” Anthony Fauci. Aaron and I discuss what is the swamp and how can we actually drain it? - and some of the big items in local politics. We close with a NoCo real estate update - hint - not a lot has changed - and we talk a bit about the future of water and population growth here in Northern Colorado. It's always an easy conversation with Aaron, and he shares a touching LoCo Experience tying back to his grandad and the early years of the Fort Collins Country Club. So please tune in and enjoy my recent conversation with Aaron Everitt. The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Logistics Co-op | https://logisticscoop.com/
