Chad Collins is the Founder and CEO of LiveBuys, a company that provides end-to-end live-selling solutions, including hosting, creative production, technology, fulfillment, and community engagement. Together with his team, he has produced 200+ sold-out events in 150+ cities, attracting 2.5 million fans and earning seven Guinness World Records. His event portfolio includes Brick Fest Live, Comic Con for Kids, and the Bucks County Card Show. Chad is also the creator of Coins, Cards & Chaos, a live-shopping and collectibles experience that connects collectors, creators, dealers, and brands. In this episode… What turns a niche collectibles business into a thriving community that people eagerly return to week after week? Is it the products themselves, or the way creators entertain, educate, and connect with their audience? And how can live commerce transform traditional events into experiences that keep collectors engaged long after the show ends? According to Chad Collins, an award-winning entrepreneur and live commerce innovator, the key is to lead with entertainment before sales. He explains that audiences are far more likely to buy when they're first engaged through compelling content, authentic personalities, and interactive experiences. Rather than treating live selling as a transaction, he emphasizes creating a show that people genuinely want to watch. That philosophy has shaped everything from viral livestreams to large-scale collectibles events that combine in-person experiences with digital engagement. Chad also shares how experimenting with different formats, learning from failed ventures, and empowering creators have helped build loyal communities that naturally drive commerce. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Chad Collins, Founder and CEO of LiveBuys, to discuss how live commerce is transforming the collectibles industry. They explore building entertainment-first livestreams, creating immersive events like Chaos Expo, and growing loyal collector communities through content. Chad also shares lessons from Brick Fest Live, influencer partnerships, and scaling engagement across digital and in-person experiences.

Gold and silver ended the week relatively steady, but beneath the surface, major global events continue to reshape the precious metals landscape. As U.S. debt approaches the historic $40 trillion mark, Japan stunned currency markets with one of the largest yen interventions ever, underscoring mounting pressure on the global fiat system. Meanwhile, the Perth Mint captured headlines by unveiling a new Guinness World Record gold bar refined to an extraordinary 99.999% purity. We also examine what these developments could mean for gold, silver, and investor sentiment in the months ahead. Listen to this week's market update for the full analysis and key charts.

The Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials will be Aug 23rd to 27th this year, and we will be there. Back in 2019 we had the opportunity to interview Erin Sills about her experience setting records on the salt. She has set 45 land speed records, has multiple Guinness World Records, and her BMW S1000RR is currently on display in the Smithsonian. She brought along her Hunter Sill Racing teammate Trev Richter, who is also chasing records on the salt, and they both have some amazing stories to share. We've paired this interview with another from 2019, this time with Stacie B. London of Triple Nickle Racing. Stacie has also set a record, but not quite as fast as Erin. She races on a 1967 Harley Davidson Aermacchi, which is why Bonneville is so great. You can take any bike from any era, and if you can make it go faster than the last person in the same category, you can set a record too. Enjoy these two interviews from the past, and come join us on the salt this August. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

1. Saudi Arabia – World's Largest AI HackathonKanz (AI hiring platform) ran an 8-day free event (July 15–22) targeting 100,000 complete beginners — teachers, job seekers, business owners, etc. — with the goal of a Guinness World Record. Participants built real apps/agents using no-code tools (Lovable, n8n, Replit, Magnific, Claude, etc.) and earned certificates plus portfolio projects. Registration surged past 50,000. It builds on prior programs with strong female participation and workforce outcomes. Upshot: AI building no longer requires a coding background; accessible programs are becoming genuine on-ramps.2. California – DROP Data Deletion PlatformThe Delete Act's DROP platform (live Jan 2026) lets California residents submit one request to delete data from ~600 registered data brokers. Identity verification uses California Identity Gateway/Login.gov; identifiers are normalized and hashed so the state never sees or shares raw personal data. Brokers must check every 45 days from Aug 1, 2026, fully delete matches, and report back. Applies to large processors worldwide; heavy fines and future audits. Upshot: A privacy win worth using if you're in California; likely to be copied elsewhere.3. Australia – Origin Energy BreachAustralia's largest energy provider confirmed a breach potentially affecting a large portion of its ~5 million customers (hacker claimed ~2 million). Sensitive PII was leaked online. Utility data heightens risks for identity theft and further infrastructure attacks. Upshot: Change passwords and watch for phishing if affected.4. Anthropic – Claude Opus 5New flagship model launched at $5/$25 per million tokens (half Fable 5's input price), with 1M token context and adjustable “effort” levels. It outperforms or matches its pricier sibling on key benchmarks. Upshot: Forces reevaluation of vendor pricing vs. performance for coding/knowledge work.5. Kimi K3 – Largest Open-Weight ModelMoonshot AI released a 2.8-trillion-parameter model (1.4 TB weights). Within days, it was used to discover dozens of zero-days and build working exploits far faster than before. Fully open weights mean no usage restrictions. Upshot: Major step-change for vulnerability research timelines; treat as a serious new threat-intelligence factor.6. South Korea – 10-Month Diplomatic BreachAttackers accessed the National Diplomatic Academy system undetected from April 2025 to February 2026, stealing data on ~6,000 Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel (including 360 overseas diplomats). Upshot: Dwell time is the bigger issue — invest in better detection.7. Suno Music-AI Breach (Nov 2025)55 million users' names, phones, and addresses exposed; only now public ~8 months later. Upshot: Check Have I Been Pwned; AI company breaches can stay hidden for long periods.8. U.S. – AI Kill Switch ActBipartisan bill (Reps. Lieu & Moran, introduced July 23) requires frontier models (≥$100M training cost) to maintain shutdown/throttling capability. DHS (with Commerce & DNI) could order action for catastrophic risks. Fines up to $20M/day. Predates recent high-profile AI incidents but cites them. Upshot: Frontier developers should assess compliance readiness; some form of this is increasingly likely.

What if your greatest adventure is still ahead of you?Virginia "Ginny" MacColl is living proof that it's never too late to pursue something extraordinary. From doing her first pull-up at age 63 to becoming an American Ninja Warrior competitor and Guinness World Record holder, Ginny has spent the last decade redefining what's possible later in life.In this episode of Women Empower Active, Ginny shares how she embraced new challenges, built incredible strength, and discovered that growth has no finish line. Her story is a reminder that age is never a barrier to adventure—it can be the beginning of your greatest chapter yet.Host: Jacalyn Gross (@jacalyngross)Guest: Virginia "Ginny" MacColl (@ginnymaccoll)Producer: Jeremy Canaria (@jeremycanary)Editor: Jacalyn GrossOriginal Music by Pete Alba#WomenEmpowerActive #AmericanNinjaWarrior #HealthyAging #ActiveLifestyle #NeverTooLatePhoto Credit: NBC American Ninja Warrior

 Episode 302.  In this week's update.Nearly 100,000 people just tried to learn AI development in a single week, no coding background required - and the attempt to set a Guinness World Record may be the least interesting part of the story.California just built a machine that can delete your data from 600 companies with one request - and the clever part is that the state never actually sees your personal information to do it.An Australian energy giant just confirmed a breach that could affect a chunk of its five million customers.Anthropic's new flagship model costs half what its sibling model does, and it's beating it on benchmarks anyway.The largest open-weight AI model ever released just started finding zero-day vulnerabilities on its own, days after launch.South Korea just admitted a breach of its diplomatic corps sat undetected for ten months.A breach from November of last year, affecting 55 million people, is only now coming to light.And Congress wants to give the federal government a kill switch for AI systems that go rogue - introduced, as it happens, just days before the industry's biggest AI-agent-gone-wrong story of the year broke wide open.Welcome back, everyone. This week runs from a hackathon trying to make AI-building a mainstream skill, through a genuinely clever piece of privacy infrastructure, into a run of breaches that all share the same lesson about how long damage sits undetected, and closes on Washington's first real attempt at an off-switch for AI systems that stop listening to the people who built them.Find the full transcript to the podcast here.

The Kanz initiative (ka.nz/hack) was far more than a hackathon. It was a bold, free global program to democratize AI by enabling everyone, from complete beginners to experts, to build and publish real AI applications in one week. Fully sponsored and aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, it combined daily structured training, hands-on building, community energy, and a successful Guinness World Record attempt.Standout innovations:No coding required, AI-first approach: "Build first, learn by creating." Participants used cutting-edge tools (Claude, NotebookLM, Replit, HeyGen, Suno, Gamma, etc.) to create apps, agents, images/videos, avatars, music, presentations, and automations—emphasizing practical results over theory. 7-day tangible curriculum: Daily sessions (evenings KSA time) produced immediate outputs. Everyone published a working app on Day 1 and left with a portfolio, verified certificate (Saudi HRSD + Lebanese American University), and real skills.Strong incentives: MacBooks, Kindles, watches, job opportunities, and employer spotlights. Projects were AI-graded then judged, with top entries showcased.Radical inclusivity: Targeted teachers, marketers, business owners, job seekers, designers, and absolute beginners—not just coders.~51,700 registrations.24,800+ live participants from 150+ countries.~197,000 training hours.Guinness World Record (July 15, 2026): 14,075 learners in one AI video lesson — officially adjudicated. ka.nz3,500+ AI projects built, including practical tools like real-time fact-checkers and automation systems.Massive scale and success:Success drivers: zero cost, instant results, vibrant global community, modern tools, and partnerships. It proved AI creation can be accessible to everyone, not just engineers, potentially sparking countless innovations and careers. Deep Dive: Roy BaladiRoy Baladi, CEO of Kanz, is the visionary behind it. With a dual degree in Computer Science & Finance from Virginia Tech (Math minor) and 15+ years in tech/finance, he has built marketplaces and inclusive hiring platforms. Background: Wall Street derivatives experience (Citi), product roles at LearnVest and SmartRecruiters, Chief Marketplace Officer at PerkSpot. He founded/led Jobs for Lebanon (Board President): 5,000+ employers, 25,000+ seekers, 750+ hires. Through Kanz and Jobs for Humanity, he has reached over 1M people with AI tools and training, placing thousands (including underrepresented talent and Saudi women via Saudiaat).Philosophy: Roy views AI as a practical empowerment tool for employment, agency, and lifelong learning. He focuses on removing barriers, teaching by building, and using technology to restore humanity to hiring. Prior programs trained 2,000+ in agentic AI. The hackathon scaled this mission globally. Why It Matters: Digital literacy now means building with AI. Kanz didn't just teach chatbots-it empowered tens of thousands to create. If even a fraction of projects become tools or businesses, the impact will far outlast the record. Roy Baladi's work shows large-scale AI education is not only possible-it's transformative.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Tina Currin, aka Cash Money, a Triple Crown thru-hiker, Andrew Skurka guide, park ranger, wilderness EMT, and Guinness World Record holder.  In this one, Tina explains how she set the world record for most air horns blown simultaneously outside the North Carolina governor's mansion, details how she bought her Colorado house sight-unseen off Zillow during a zero day on the CDT while soaking her feet in a trash can, and she recounts getting separated from her husband in a snowstorm on the CDT, where both of them hit their SOS buttons convinced the other was dead. We also cover her Denali expedition, where she summited on day 22 with the final morsels of her food supply, after multiple deaths near her camp, why she thinks the PCT is boring, and how she landed her trail name after wielding a fat wad of singles at a trail magic session on the AT. We wrap the show with the details of the upcoming Backpacker Radio Hiker Meetup in Seattle, a rundown of 20 strange things thru-hiking does to your body, ranking the AT, PCT, and CDT from best to worst- according to triple crowners, a debate over a life rewind button vs. a life pause button, a mailbag about taser-equipped trekking poles, and the triple crown of shitty beers.

Longtime Phoenix-based professional strongman Jerry Pritchett (Chickasaw) isn't ready to retire just yet. For now, his focus is on his son, Bubba, who at 15 years old, recently locked out a 615-pound deadlift at a competition. Pritchett is a veteran strongman and powerlifter who was named America's Strongest Man in 2017 and was later named a World's Strongest Man finalist. Other Native strongmen who have earned professional titles like Pritchett is Harold “Iron Bear” Collins (Lumbee). Collins was a popular competitor in the 1990s who broke six Guinness World Records, one for pulling a 50,433-pound semitruck and flatbed trailer 160 feet in 44 seconds. In Canada, Colten Sloan (Whitefish Lake First Nation) is working hard to join the ranks of these strongmen. In 2021, he became the first Indigenous man in Canada to earn a pro card in the sport and has since competed around the world.

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff    LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode features returning guest Sean V. Bradley alongside Cody Carter, an Orange County Toyota salesman who just became a Guinness World Record holder by selling 1,799 vehicles in a single year, a number verified directly by Toyota.   Sean breaks down the mechanics behind it: the proprietary website that hides pricing behind a signup wall, the Facebook groups that turn into sales within the hour, and the nationwide auto broker network Cody built to close deals most salesmen couldn't touch, all while he works a 9 to 2 showroom schedule.   Cody didn't inherit a dealership, win a lottery, or catch a lucky break. He just figured out a better way to do something everyone said couldn't be improved, and that's a lesson worth stealing no matter what you sell.

Michael Angelo Zervos is a Guinness World Record holder — he visited all 195 UN-recognized countries in 499 days. Along the way he interviewed people in every country about the happiest moment of their life. That project became a book, published by Penguin Random House, out February 23rd. We talked about: how the record works and what actually counts as "visiting" a country; a year and a half of planning vs. the Brazilian who claimed he did it by accident; getting jailed overnight in Liberia for taking a photo of a building; being deported from Nicaragua because they thought he was a journalist; how he got into North Korea during a two-week window that's since closed permanently; what North Korea is actually like (his answer: Plato's allegory of the cave, in real life); Cuba on the ground vs. what the left says about it; traveling through Ukraine, Palestine, Syria, and Sudan; asking people about happiness in active conflict zones; and what his grandfather being forced to fight for communist guerrillas in the Greek Civil War has to do with any of it.

A serial Guinness World Record holder from Idaho just balanced 195 rolls of toilet paper on his forehead for 30 seconds — and Brian From is genuinely impressed by the teamwork involved. From there, a rich and timely piece from Mere Orthodoxy on rest: Americans have accepted a mindset where busyness is the norm and vacation is the only escape valve, but that's not what Jesus modeled or taught. Sabbath isn't a two-week getaway once a year — it's a regular rhythm woven into the week, the month, the season. Brian challenges listeners to identify where rest actually fits in their daily lives, not just when they can afford to disappear. Then a meditation on Romans 11:33-36 and the great "therefore" of Romans 12:1 — in view of God's mercy, offer your bodies as a living sacrifice — unpacking what it means that our entire response to the gospel is worship, not performance. A pointed segment on the fine line between conviction and condemnation, and why so many Christians live under shame that scripture never intended for them to carry. And a closing devotion from the late Dr. Charles Stanley on loneliness — drawing on Elijah on Mount Sinai, Jesus praying alone in Gethsemane while his disciples slept, and the handoff from Moses to a terrified Joshua — with a single, grounding promise underneath all of it: His companionship is real, present, and enough.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Take a look at your speedometer the next time you're driving. Chances are, it's lying to you. The speed you're actually traveling is probably different from what the dashboard says—and that's completely intentional. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedometer?utm From the time we're children, we're constantly reminded to "sit up straight" and "don't slouch." We've been told that good posture prevents pain, improves health, and even makes us more confident. But how much of that is actually supported by science? According to Beth Linker, surprisingly little. In this conversation, she explores where our ideas about posture came from, why so many assumptions have gone unchallenged, and what the evidence really says about the way we sit, stand, and move. Beth is a former physical therapist, medical historian, and author of Slouch: Posture Panic in Modern America (https://amzn.to/4480Hhk). Imagine remembering names almost instantly, recalling conversations in remarkable detail, or memorizing enormous amounts of information with ease. It may sound like a rare gift, but Nelson Dellis says it's a skill almost anyone can learn. As a six-time USA Memory Champion, a two-time Guinness World Record holder and Grandmaster of Memory. He has mastered techniques that dramatically improve recall—and they're far simpler than most people imagine. In our conversation, Nelson explains how memory really works, why we forget so much, and the practical strategies you can start using immediately to remember more of what matters. He is author of Everyday Genius: Hacks to Boost Your Memory, Focus, Problem-Solving, and Much More (https://amzn.to/3Rlxpc7). Tennis balls haven't always been bright yellow. For decades they were white, just as many people assume they always were. So why did manufacturers change one of the most recognizable pieces of sports equipment in the world? Interestingly, the answer has very little to do with tennis players—and everything to do with the people watching the match. https://www.itftennis.com/media/2280/balls-history-of-tennis-balls.pdf PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 391 by previewing football season for patrons before a laugh about Scott's father-in-law hijacking the family's evening. They hit the Mariners' 100-game .500 mark, reminisce about the Big Red Machine, then shift to the World Cup, where both stayed hooked long after Team USA's exit. Mitch and Scott rave about teenage phenom Lamine Yamal, poke fun at FIFA's halftime show, preview Seahawks camp, Ryan Fox's British Open win, and Bryson DeChambeau's penalty. Ray Roberts and Mitch discuss Seattle's new ownership, why the defending Super Bowl champs still seem overlooked, and what the Seahawks gained—and lost—this offseason. Roberts also shares hilarious training camp stories, from sneaking home to sleep in his own bed to finally meeting childhood hero Ed "Too Tall" Jones, the player who inspired him to wear No. 72. Mitch, Joe Doyle, and Brady Farkas break down another uneven Mariners series as Seattle reaches the 100-game mark at 50-50. They argue Dan Wilson has become an unfair scapegoat for a flawed roster, praise Cole Young's continued rise, and discuss Julio Rodríguez's return, Colt Emerson's progress, and looming roster decisions. Mitch welcomes three beat reporters who know the Mariners' top draft picks better than anyone. Sam Sklar breaks down first-round slugger Ace Reese, Koki Riley explains why LSU outfielder Jake Brown could become a second-round steal, and Scott Springer profiles Cincinnati right-hander Nathan Taylor, whose bulldog mentality and dominant slider made him one of the draft's best values. Together, they provide an inside look at Seattle's newest wave of talent and what fans can expect from each prospect.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former Seahawks offensive lineman and Seahawks Radio Network Analyst Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Sam Skylar | Mississippi State beat reporter, Clarion Ledger Koki Riley | LSU beat reporter, The Daily Advertiser and USA Today Scott Springer | Cincinnati Bearcats beat reporter, The Enquirer   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | World Cup Wrap, British Open Chaos & Birthday Trivia 26:378 | Ray Roberts; Training Camp Memories, New Seahawks Ownership & Barry Sanders Stories 55:12 | Mariners No-Table; Mariners Tread Water as Trade Deadline Decisions Loom 1:13:03 | Sam Skylar, Koki Riley, Scott Springer [Beat Reporters]; Inside the Mariners' Top Three Draft Picks 1:39:34 | Other Stuff: Josh Kerr breaks the 27-year-old mile record with a blistering 3:42, Roger Bannister's four-minute mile legacy, Alex Rodriguez's factually disastrous Justin Verlander interview during the All-Star Game, Mike Tyson's viral ESPYs moment after learning Shohei Ohtani is a man, Baron Davis sued by his sister over an alleged real estate fraud, suspended Cardinals executive Ryan Gold denies violating the NFL gambling policy, Matt Fitzpatrick says legalized sports betting is fueling fan abuse of golfers, JPMorgan executive Lorna Tsoujini countersues after denying allegations she tried to make a coworker her "sex slave." HEADLINES 93-year-old truck driver seeks Guinness World Record, naked man arrested for surfing atop a moving locomotive, reports claim Donald Trump's biological waste was transported back to the United States after a trip to Turkey, woman prescribed Diet Coke for an Ozempic-related stomach blockage, Peru sees a surge of babies named Holland and Erling Haaland after the Norwegian soccer star. RIPS Sam Neill (78), Brenda Fricker (81), Janice McNair (89).

Larry Lannan talks with Connor Smith, an 18-year-old from Fishers, Indiana, who plays professional wiffle ball for the Atlanta Ballers — a team owned in part by former NFL star Julio Jones and musician Nelly. Connor shares how backyard games during COVID led to being drafted 10th overall, why wiffle ball became his "happy place" after the pressures of organized baseball, and his plans to become an elementary school teacher. Larry also reflects on the decline of unstructured, kid-organized outdoor play, examines why American worker productivity is growing at its fastest pace in over 20 years (hint: it's not AI), and shares the story of 600-plus trombonists in Australia breaking a Guinness World Record with "76 Trombones."

A few years back, I hosted Dougie Mackay at my home on Vancouver Island for some pizza and a televised hockey game. I'd just caught his show in town and was struck by how he illuminated the wingspan of a story - the way it could carry an audience across centuries and landscapes with each sentence.Raised in the Scottish Highlands where storytelling is still in the water, Dougie has sold out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Scottish International Storytelling Festival. He even holds a Guinness World Record as part of the longest continuous storytelling session (74 hours, set in the central square of Marrakesh, where storytelling is also heritage). He describes his own work as firing on the edge of the wild.In this episode of The Crow's Nest, Dougie joins me to explore the medicine of story for these times - and for men in particular. We speak in support of the upcoming Cascadia Men's Conference, happening August 6-9 in the Squamish Valley just north of Vancouver. The conference draws its DNA from the Minnesota Men's Conference, now forty years strong, and we're gathering elders and younger men alike to light a fire we hope will burn yearly.Dougie won't be with us in person this August (he'll be at the Edinburgh Fringe with his show A Wolf Shall Devour the Sun), but his spirit is woven into what we're building. At the heart of our conversation, he tells the old Gaelic tale of Finn McCool and the Salmon of Wisdom - a story from the Fianna cycle about a boy raised by wild aunties in the forest, who must learn not just to hunt and fight, but to see truly.What emerges is a conversation about masculine leadership, the necessary relationship between youth and elders, and what it means to be mentored by both the feminine and the wild. "I think there's lots of people seeking belonging, and the salmon has something to say about that."Dougie offers a particular tonic: the idea that in our broken culture, many of us in midlife and beyond may find ourselves in the role of Finnegus - the old poet who sits by the pool for seven years, preparing the ground so that someone younger might receive the gift we never will.If you're drawn to the work, you can find Dougie writing on Substack at Rekindling the Hearth. He's also launching a nine-month storytelling mentorship cohort called The Storyteller's Journey this September.The Cascadia Men's Conference runs August 6-9.

SynopsisWeather permitting, there's a good chance you'll be attending an outdoor symphonic concert tonight that will close with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, complete with a volley of booming cannon shots, church bells, and dazzling fireworks.It's become an American tradition to perform the 1812 Overture on July 4, even though it has nothing to do with the 1776 War of Independence — or America's War of 1812, for that matter.No, it's all down to Arthur Fielder and the Boston Pops.For years, a wealthy American businessman named David Mugar financed an outdoor Pops concert on Boston's Esplanade on the Fourth of July. But by the mid-1970s, attendance started to decline, so Mugar suggested that if Fiedler would close the annual concert with the 1812 Overture, people might be lured back by the live cannon fire Tchaikovsky asks for in the piece.Well, it worked. Outdoor concerts with the 1812 Overture plus cannons quickly became a tradition, and in 1976, 400,000 people attended the Boston Pops' outdoor Bicentennial Fourth of July concert — setting a Guinness World Record for best-attended classical concert. And, a year after his death in 2022, a bronze statue of Mugar was unveiled on the Boston Esplanade.Music Played in Today's ProgramPeter Tchaikovsky (1840-1893): 1812 Overture; Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra; Antal Dorati, conductor; Mercury Living Presence 434360

Trump kicks off his Fourth of July celebration at the Theodore Roosevelt Library, where he muses about giving his two sons and himself the Medal of Honor — describing doing so as a "threesome." Jon and Dan react to Trump's plans for Independence Day, including a Guinness World Records fireworks display, a marathon speech in 107-degree heat, and a plan for "250 pardons for 250 years." Then, the guys discuss the administration's desire to ban pregnant tourists from entering the country, Tuesday's progressive primary wins in Colorado, and the new New York Times/Siena poll that shows Democrats effectively tied in the states needed to retake the Senate.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

On September 16, 1890, Louis Le Prince vanished. He was never seen or heard from again. While that is the most well-known thing about him, he had a whole life before that which involved some very intriguing things. Research: “Amongst the persons …” The Leeds Mercury.
