Tyler Anbinder discusses the significant role of the Irish in the American Civil War, particularly the 69th Regiment. Many joined for military training to eventually liberate Ireland, but they fought enthusiastically for the Union out of gratitude to their new home. Heroes like James Kavanaugh demonstrated extraordinary bravery at Antietam and Fredericksburg, though they often returned to menial work after the war. The segment also addresses the intense anti-Irish and anti-Catholic prejudice of the era, exemplified by Judson Saus, a ballroom teacher who felt compelled to hide his Irish identity to achieve professional success.

He gave his life to Jesus on a mountaintop in 1971 — and he's been reproducing his faith every single year since. He's in his 70s now. An auto mechanic by trade. No seminary, no title, no platform. And he has no intention of slowing down.I didn't sit down with Jim Albert to teach. I sat down to get challenged — and to learn from a man who's been making disciples longer than I've been alive.Jim spent the Cold War running missions out of Vienna into the Eastern Bloc. Today he's leading men into the hardest-to-reach places in India and discipling guys one-on-one in a Fredericksburg coffee shop. We talked about why discipleship is simple but not easy, the difference between making Jesus your Savior and your Lord, the "ABCs" of a quiet time he learned 50 years ago, why so many churches keep majoring on the minors — and the one verb in the Great Commission that most of them quietly ignore.If you've ever felt too unqualified, too under schooled, or too far along in life to make disciples — Jim is living proof that's a lie. This is exactly the kind of ordinary man this whole thing is for.

Thanks for watching and listening!Managing Hidden Stress and SymptomsGordon discussed the hidden stress that people carry in their bodies and how it can manifest as physical symptoms like tiredness or exhaustion. He shared his personal experience with epilepsy, explaining how stress from his demanding lifestyle triggered his condition after the loss of both parents in 2012. Gordon described his journey of discovering ways to reduce stress through methods such as affirmations, which helped him manage his epilepsy.Mindful Movement Workshop AnnouncementGordon announced a one-hour mindful movement workshop scheduled for June 6th at 10 AM at the Silver Collection Apartments Yoga Studio in Fredericksburg. The workshop, which will help participants relieve hidden stress, is free for residents of the Silver Collection and costs $26 for non-residents. Gordon emphasized that the workshop is accessible to participants of all athletic levels and physical abilities, with a capacity limit of 15 people.Stress Storage in Physical HabitsGordon explained how stress is stored in the body in imperceptible ways, including poor posture, shallow breathing, and inadequate hydration. He described how these physical habits create muscle tension and prevent proper relaxation, leading to muscle fatigue, cramps, and headaches. Gordon emphasized that while this stress accumulation is subtle, recognizing and addressing these physical patterns is essential for relief.Sustained Practices for Stress ReductionGordon explained the concept of sustained practices as a way to reduce stress by incorporating specific breathing techniques and stretching exercises. He provided an example of a breathing exercise involving counting to four for both inhalation and exhalation, repeated three or four times, which can help lower blood pressure and improve clarity. Gordon also demonstrated a simple stretching exercise involving raising and lowering hands while looking up.Stress Management Techniques DiscussionGordon discussed techniques for managing stress, including sustained stretching, breathing exercises, and using affirmations. He explained that listening to affirmations on platforms like Spotify or creating personal recordings can help develop new neural pathways in the brain that respond to stress more effectively. Gordon noted that practicing these techniques regularly can help the brain learn to remain calm under stress.Mindful Movement Technique DemonstrationGordon explained the concept of mindful movement, which combines sustained movement, breathing, and affirmations to reduce stress and create new neural pathways. He demonstrated the technique by sitting straight, lifting his hands, counting internally, and saying affirmations like "I am calm and control under stress" and "I am creative and find solutions to problems." Gordon emphasized that this practice helps the body relax, provides necessary air, and enables stress to leave the body when done consistently.Wellness Movement Workshop AnnouncementGordon announced the first Capitalize Your Wellness Mindful Movement Workshop scheduled for June 6th at the Silver Collection Apartments in Fredericksburg, where he will lead a one-hour session of movement, breathing, and affirmations for up to 15 participants. The workshop is free for residents and costs $26 for non-residents.

“Has Comedy Gone Too Far? Spaghetti Standoffs, Sour Candy Poetry, and the Elvis Effect” JB opens up about watching a high-profile celebrity roast and realizing it crossed a line from clever to uncomfortable, admitting, “If it makes me uncomfortable, that says a lot.” Sandy jumps in with sharp insight about where comedy, fame, and humanity collide, turning a pop-culture moment into a deeper discussion about boundaries, empathy, and what humor should really do. From there, the episode takes its signature turn into laugh-out-loud territory. Sandy confesses he's delaying getting his life back on track because of one extremely specific obstacle: a massive batch of homemade shrimp spaghetti no one else will touch. The debate spirals into classic JB and Sandy banter, complete with Tony Soprano vibes and zero regrets. Things get delightfully bizarre with a listener request that pushes Sandy to his creative limits—an original Ode to Lemonhead Candy. What follows is a sour, chaotic, surprisingly passionate performance featuring lines like “You sour little punk” and a self-issued thumbs-down that somehow makes the whole thing even better. The episode also hits peak nostalgia and curiosity with a rapid-fire question that sparks instant consensus in the room: Who is the sexiest man of all time? Tricia doesn't hesitate, declaring vintage Elvis Presley the clear winner—prompting reactions ranging from awe to mild identity crises. “Even his fingers looked sexy,” she insists, and honestly, it's hard to argue. Add in quirky small-town observations, Fredericksburg peach drama, Wordle obsession strategies, and the long-running “Babies Love” saga, and you've got an episode that perfectly captures the heart of the show: smart conversation, genuine laughs, and moments you didn't know you needed. 

When the Peaches Disappear: A Hilarious, Heartfelt Ride Through Central Texas Life This episode of The JB and Sandy Show turns everyday Texas moments into laugh‑out‑loud radio gold, starting with the shocking reality that there will be no Fredericksburg peaches this year.From that agricultural heartbreak comes one of the most memorable moments of the show: Sandy's emotional and unexpectedly poetic “Ode to the Fredericksburg Peaches.” It's equal parts comedy, nostalgia, and love letter — complete with lines mourning cobbler, roadside stands, and the humble peach seller waving down F‑150s in the Texas heat. The fun doesn't stop there. JB, Sandy, and Tricia dive deep into Cedar Park pride, food obsessions, and the age‑old debate of what you should never knock until you try. The trio swaps stories about local favorites, cultural quirks, and why living just outside Austin comes with its own badge of honor. The episode also hits pop‑culture joy notes as they reflect on how wildly The Price Is Right has changed, including a jaw‑dropping prize moment that leaves everyone stunned — and nostalgic for the days of small appliances and simple dreams. Sandy shares one of his hardest laughs in years thanks to a Saturday Night Live sketch that spirals into pure chaos. Add in stories of floating concerts, Paddlepalooza sightings, mounted police horses stealing hearts, and JB's ongoing mission to keep the show unpredictable, and you get an episode that perfectly captures the spirit of everyday Texas life — funny, communal, and just a little unhinged. Memorable moments include: “The trees had a meeting. No humans allowed.” Sandy declaring peaches have gone on a sabbatical. Tricia calmly navigating chaos while keeping the show on track. The realization that even people who don't like peaches are devastated. 

No Peaches, Big Laughs, and One Question You Can't Forget—Did You Really Just Say That on Mother's Day? JB opens up with a painfully honest (and hilarious) Mother's Day misstep that quickly turns into a full-on conversation about love languages, garage cleanouts, and why some people see “a future with this bag of bolts.” Tricia delivers one of the most relatable lines of the morning while recounting a run-in with an electrician: “All I know is somehow we have to put lightning inside these wires.” It's everyday chaos at its funniest. The show takes a nostalgic and emotional turn with the shocking news that there will be no Fredericksburg peaches this year, sparking genuine sadness—and an unforgettable call-in from Coach Brown, who mourns the loss with a rapid-fire list of everything peach-related his household won't enjoy. “I don't care if it's peach upside-down cake or peach right-side-up cake—this is a crisis,” he jokes, sounding only half-kidding. From there, the crew dives into pop culture with what Sandy calls “the funniest thing I've seen on TV in ten years,” breaking down a Saturday night sketch that spirals into chaos in the best way possible. The episode also shines a light on Austin community goodness with a feel-good story about an inclusive café reopening its doors, reminding listeners why local stories matter. The fun keeps rolling with listener interaction—unexpected food combinations you “shouldn't knock until you try,” ranging from Frosty-dipped fries to a response that stops everyone cold: zebra meat. Yes, really. 

Thanks for watching and listening!Guaranteed Failure and DisciplineGordon discussed three things that guarantee failure, focusing on the first point about justifying lack of discipline. He explained that people often cover up poor performance by claiming they work best under pressure or have unique working styles, but emphasized that true discipline involves scheduling tasks and completing them regardless of circumstances. Gordon challenged listeners to prove their claims about working under pressure by putting tasks on calendars and completing them on time.Success Through Responsibility and PlanningGordon emphasized that success requires discipline, planning, and taking responsibility rather than complaining or blame-shifting. He warned that constant complaining and blame-shifting are recipes for failure, as they lead to surrounding oneself with negative people and eventual isolation. Gordon advised taking complete ownership of responsibilities and being willing to delegate when necessary to avoid these pitfalls.Personal Standards and Success StrategiesGordon discussed the importance of maintaining high personal standards and discipline as a path to success. He outlined three key factors that lead to failure: justifying lack of discipline, constant complaining and blame shifting, and having higher standards for others than oneself. Gordon then promoted his Capitalize Your Best online community, offering a 7-day free trial followed by $29 monthly membership, and announced an upcoming Capitalized Mastermind dinner in Fredericksburg on June 26th for $97.

 Chris Mackowski on “A Tempest of Iron and Lead: The Battle of Spotsylvania Court House” for more info: www.chicagocwrt.org For twenty-two straight hours, in torrential downpours, up to their knees in mud and blood, Federals and Confederates slugged it out in the most intense sustained hand-to-hand combat of the war. A panoply of horror, one soldier called it. A Saturnalia of blood. Hell's Half-Acre. The slaughter pen of Spotsylvania. Most remember it simply as the Bloody Angle. Chris Mackowski, Ph.D., is the editor-in-chief and co-founder of Emerging Civil War and the series editor of the award-winning Emerging Civil War Series, published by Savas Beatie. Chris is a writing professor in the Jandoli School of Communication at St. Bonaventure University in Allegany, NY, where he also serves as associate dean for undergraduate programs. Chris is also historian-in-residence at Stevenson Ridge, a historic property on the Spotsylvania battlefield in central Virginia. He has worked as a historian for the National Park Service at Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park, where he gives tours at four major Civil War battlefields (Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Wilderness, and Spotsylvania), as well as at the building where Stonewall Jackson died. Chris has authored or co-authored nearly two dozen books and edited a half-dozen essay collections on the Civil War, and his articles have appeared in all the major Civil War magazines 

Texas Man Chases The ChupacabraJoin my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/supportA Texas Musician who grew up hunting in rural Oklahoma and considers himself hard to scare, describes two strange encounters in Texas. The first happened in July 2015 in DeWitt County while he was driving his young son and daughter on a quiet gravel road near an overgrown creek. A bipedal creature stepped out of tall grass about 40 yards ahead—mottled gray with sparse bristly hair, a long snout and tall ears like a kangaroo, and tiny arms held close to its body. It moved with an awkward wobbling gait and crossed into the grass without reacting to the vehicle. He briefly grabbed his pistol and started after it for a closer look, but stopped when he realized his kids were alone in the car and he didn't know how the animal might behave.He believes the first animal was a real, physical creature—possibly a mutation or escaped exotic animal—neither aggressive nor afraid, and maybe increasing in number as development pushes wildlife around. His second encounter came in February 2019 after leaving a late-night performance at Luckenbach near Fredericksburg. Driving home around 2 a.m., his headlights caught two huge pale-yellow eyes about ten feet above the road at the treeline by a creek. The figure moved, revealing a massive, dark-haired, humanoid form with no visible neck and unusually long arms; it then dropped lower into the brush while watching him pass. Chris kept his speed steady out of fear it might react, then accelerated once he'd put distance between them, and later returned in daylight but found nothing that could explain what he saw.

A live road trip check-in should be simple, but when you're a live car talk show, it turns into a full-speed sprint through the biggest stories of the week. We start with some real-time studio chaos, then dig into why Ford F-150 inventory is suddenly so tight and what a supply shock like an aluminum plant fire can do to prices, selection, and dealer lots across the country.Next, we get into the uncomfortable stuff: the FTC asking dealers to report other dealers who break federal vehicle advertising rules. We talk through what “self-policing” could fix, what it could break, and why shoppers should be extra careful with too-good-to-be-true price ads. From there, we vent about CEO compensation, react to Mary Barra's reported pay package, and connect it to GM's decision to delay its next-generation full-size electric truck program while the market leans harder into hybrids and proven gas platforms.Then we lighten it up with car culture fun: a quick hit on WeatherTech money moves, a surprisingly heated floor mat debate, and a game of matching famous car slogans to the right automaker. We also run through a practical recall roundup including Goodyear performance tires, Lexus fuel pump issues, Ford F-150 downshift concerns, and more. We wrap with our Hot Rod Tour Of Texas update from the highway, with the crew rolling from New Braunfels toward Fredericksburg and all the small-town charm in between.Subscribe for more weekly automotive news and laughs, share this with a friend who's shopping for a truck, and leave a review so more car people can find us.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Welcome to the award-winning The Hill Country Podcast. The Texas Hill Country is one of the most beautiful places on earth. In this podcast, Tom's partners, Gilbert Paiz and Andrew Gay, take the lead in visiting with AJ Rodriguez, now the interim CEO and board member of Guadalupe Bank. AJ recounts entering banking after a ranch fire led him to college, an internship, and an examiner role with the U.S. Treasury, and subsequent roles at larger banks before becoming CEO of a South Texas community bank that grew to 31 branches and $2.2B in assets; after retiring in 2012 and moving to Fredericksburg, he helped launch the Backwoods barbecue restaurant and later joined Guadalupe Bank, stepping in as CEO after the prior CEO resigned. They contrast community banks with national banks, emphasizing local decision-making, relationship-based service, community involvement, and support for small businesses, and provide Guadalupe Bank details (about $254–$256M in assets, ~37–38 employees, locations in Kerrville and Fredericksburg, and a San Antonio production office planned to become a branch). They cover recruiting talent via a Schreiner University internship rotation program, regional optimism post-flood and amid steady growth, current products and fraud-prevention investments, and non-advisory commentary on interest rates, inflation, and market volatility.

5. The Fighting 69th and the Struggle for Acceptance Irish immigrants joined the "Fighting 69th" militia for military training and to show gratitude toward the country that provided them security. During the Civil War, Captain James Cavanagh displayed extraordinary bravery at the Battle of Antietam, vowing to hold his position until the "last one of us" was killed. Despite heroic service at Fredericksburg, the Irish still faced pervasive religious and racial prejudice. Some, like dance teacher Judson Sauce, changed their names to hide their Irish heritage. After the war, veterans often returned to humble manual trades, though some eventually secured stable civil service positions as recognition of their service. 52899 BALHOOLY

PLUS - Pastor Greg and I discuss Iran and end times.

Thanks for watching and listening!Career Transition Through Charity EventGordon shared a personal story about attending a charity event eight or nine years ago that marked a significant turning point in his career. While initially unsure about the high-value auction items, Gordon connected with a successful CEO and accepted his invitation for coffee, which led to the formalization of his marketing business and eventual career transition from full-time ministry. Gordon emphasized how being part of an elevated community exposed him to wisdom, health, and wealth that significantly impacted his life trajectory.Elevated Community Definition and BenefitsGordon defined an elevated community as a group of people who have achieved something someone hasn't, explaining that exposure to such groups can help individuals improve and learn from others with different experiences and expertise. He provided examples including expensive conferences, elite running groups, and private CEO gatherings, noting that these communities often share wisdom and best practices in non-public settings.Elevated Business Community AccessGordon explained that elevated communities are typically paid events or private invitations, not due to elitism but because they attract people who have achieved significant success. He shared his personal experience attending 10X GrowthCon and a more intimate business gathering where the conversations were of deeper strategic nature. Gordon emphasized that access to such communities often requires either payment or personal invitations, as these groups tend to focus on advanced topics and networking with accomplished individuals.Community Growth and Engagement OpportunitiesGordon discussed the benefits of joining elevated communities, emphasizing that growth occurs through osmosis and engagement with like-minded individuals. He explained that different communities serve different needs, comparing them to beginner and advanced classes. Gordon announced two opportunities: a private dinner mastermind on April 30th for 12 people in the Fredericksburg area at $97, and the Capitalize Your Best online community with various coaching and learning resources. He offered listeners a 7-day free pass to explore the online community further.

Her father's first brush with the unexplained happened at ten years old—on a Boy Scout camping trip near a Civil War battlefield. He woke before sunrise, walked down to a stream, and saw someone who didn't belong there… someone who looked like the war had never ended.Years later, she ended up living in Fredericksburg, Virginia—close enough to famous ground that history felt like it sat just beneath the floorboards. At first it was small, easy-to-dismiss stuff. Then it started repeating. Patterns formed. And one night, she tried the one thing people always say to do: record it.She didn't expect to see anything on playback.

Rob initially encountered Andrew at the Virginia Fly Fishing Festival several years ago. At that time, Andrew was likely in middle school, displaying a remarkable passion for fishing as a young boy. He was precocious and downright fishy. He tied his own flies. Throughout his teenage years, he dedicated his mornings and afternoons to fishing at the Falmouth Flats beneath the Rte. 1 Bridge in Fredericksburg, Virginia, the same spot where Rob learned to fly fish for stripers while going to college up the street. A few years down the line, Andrew crossed paths with an Alaskan lodge owner during one of the Virginia Fly Fishing Shows, which ultimately led him to Alaska after graduating high school. We reconnect with him now residing in Puerto Rico to learn about his journey. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
