In this episode of Holyrood Sources, we remember Scotland's first Deputy First Minister, Jim Wallace as Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver are joined by former Scottish Liberal Democrat Leader Tavish Scott to discuss Jim's political career and legacy.Before that, this episode also discusses reports that the Scottish Greens will stand aside in most constituency seats, giving the SNP a clear run — and whether this could boost John Swinney's chances of an outright majority. Andy and Geoff also examine the growing impact of Reform UK, and why they may be the SNP's biggest unintended ally.The panel also reacts to Anas Sarwar's pledge to ban trans women from female prisons, exploring Labour's U-turns on gender policy and the risks for the Scottish Government as a court challenge unfolds.Later, Calum speaks to Chris Herd, founder of Firstbase, who explains why he had to leave Scotland for the US to build a nine-figure tech company — and what Scotland must change to stop the flight of talent and capital.
Presented by Righteous Felon Jerky The Washington Nationals' nonstop waiver wire moves aren't chaos — they're strategy. On this episode of the Nats Minutecast, we break down why the Nationals are aggressively churning the 40-man roster, how Paul Toboni is rebuilding organizational depth after massive minor-league losses, and why this approach matters for the 2026 season. We also dig into the reality behind CJ Abrams trade rumors, what Toboni actually said about Abrams and Jacob Young, and why “not being shopped” doesn't mean untouchable. Plus, we look at the Nationals' growing first base problem, why Luis Arraez coming off the market doesn't really change Washington's outlook, and what this all says about the front office's long-term plan. If you're trying to make sense of the Nationals' rebuild, roster churn, and offseason philosophy — this episode connects the dots.

The Washington Nationals stayed busy, adding roster depth and rotation stability in two under-the-radar but telling moves. The Nats signed local product Matt Mervis to a minor league deal with a spring training invite, bringing added competition to a wide-open first base picture. While Mervis' major league numbers with the Cubs and Marlins have been modest, his signing signals the Nationals' continued search for answers at a position that remains unsettled. With names like Andrés Chaparro, Trey Lipscomb, and several prospects in the mix, this move feels more like insurance than a solution—and a sign that president of baseball operations Paul Toboni may not be finished shopping. The bigger impact move came on the pitching side, where the Nationals signed left-hander Foster Griffin to a one-year, $5.5 million deal after three standout seasons in Japan. Griffin reinvented himself overseas, posting elite numbers with the Yomiuri Giants and earning an All-Star selection, all while rebuilding his pitch mix and starter's mindset. His return gives Washington much-needed experience in an otherwise young rotation and reflects a front office focused on stability and structure as the rebuild enters its next phase. Together, these moves highlight a Nationals organization quietly laying groundwork rather than chasing headlines. Righteous Felon Craft Jerky – Snack Smarter!

BT & Sal dive into the New York Mets' messy offseason, declaring they have a "ton of work" to do with question marks spanning nearly every position on the field. They stress that President of Baseball Operations David Stearns' entire roster construction hinges on one major decision: Should the Mets trade their prospects for a frontline starter like Tarik Skubal right now, or wait for Juan Soto to hit free agency? Sal rips into the current state of the roster, rattling off a shocking list of "don't knows"—including the DH, Left Field, Center Field, First Base, Opening Day Starter, and Setup Man—as he impatiently waits for Stearns to finally build instead of just strip away pieces. The segment also features a heartfelt, emotional moment with a listener that stops the show cold.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to the Red Sox losing two out of three games at Wrigley Field against the Cubs in their first series out of the All Star break. Did salvaging a win in the series finale help keep the vibes somewhat positive with another tough road series in Philadelphia up next? Also, the lineup was very quiet until the seventh inning in Game 3 which makes the need for another bat at the trade deadline more important than before. And, first base is the biggest offensive need and a debate between Ryan O'Hearn and Josh Naylor look like the obvious candidates.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode, Jim Fortin reveals the one thing you must release if you truly want more from life: your emotional baggage. From guilt and fear to shame and self-judgment, Jim breaks down why clinging to these old emotions keeps you stuck at “first base” in life—safe but stagnant. Through powerful metaphors, real coaching stories, and deep subconscious insights, Jim explains how to finally let go so you can receive what your soul is really asking for. Jim dives into the neuroscience and energetics behind why we resist letting go—even when it costs us everything we want. You'll learn how we become emotionally enslaved by past events, why our brains trick us into choosing safety over growth, and how unresolved fears block the flow of abundance, joy, and personal power. If you've ever felt like you're doing the inner work but still stuck, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do next. If you're ready to stop circling the same fears and finally step into more, this episode will show you how to drop the weight and open the door to transformation. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Why You Can't Keep One Foot on First Base (01:12) Jim introduces a powerful metaphor that illustrates why holding on to the past blocks new opportunities. Nathan's Story: The Cost of Holding On (05:15) A coaching example that shows how unresolved shame and guilt can sabotage progress—no matter how much we say we want change. The Furniture Metaphor: No Room for the New (11:40) Jim explains how holding on to emotional baggage leaves no space for new experiences or abundance. How Your Fears Keep Circling Like Coyotes (24:45) A vivid story to help you see how fear continues to show up until you confront and conquer it. Are You a Slave to Emotion? (22:30) Jim challenges listeners to consider whether their lives are being run by fear, shame, or the need for external validation. Your Soul Is Waiting—Let It Out (20:30) A reminder that soulful living requires courage, not comfort—and that everything you want lies beyond fear. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway You can't have more in life until you let go of what's weighing you down. Transformation isn't about gaining—it's about releasing. Fear, shame, guilt, and self-judgment don't define you—they delay you. Let go to let in. You were never meant to carry the past forever. The life you want is already waiting… if you have the courage to put down what's holding you back and reach for it. Let's Connect: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?

Today's word of the day is ‘2.2 seconds' as in Winnipeg Jets as in NHL as in hockey as in Game 7 as in madness. What did we just see? The Jets came back from a 2-goal deficit with 1:55 left. Wow. And then win it in 2OT!? Sorry, St. Louis. What could have been! (7:30) Another Game 7 happened but in the NBA. The Warriors did it on the road. Wow. Steph Curry had a huge 4th quarter.
