This episode digs into a controversial theory about SARS-CoV-2 origins, focusing on documents, timelines, and lab-to-lab collaboration rather than the usual public narrative. Jim Haslam lays out his case for how the virus was engineered as part of animal vaccine research, while George Howard helps connect the investigative and public-transparency angles. The conversation also focuses on UNC records, Rocky Mountain Lab, Wuhan, and the broader issue of dual-use biodefense research. Jim Haslam Author of COVID-19: Mystery Solved: It leaked from a Wuhan lab but it's not Chinese junk: https://a.co/d/gD8JQqi https://jimhaslam.substack.com/ https://x.com/jhas5 George Howard Pajama scientist and former business owner. More than 1K Younger Dryas Impact citations since 2007. Founding Partner Titan Network. https://carolinaflu.org/ https://x.com/CosmicTusk Key Topics Jim Haslam explains the core thesis of his book, COVID-19 Mystery Solved, arguing that SARS-CoV-2 emerged from a U.S. led research network rather than a simple Wuhan lab accident. The discussion centers on Ralph Baric, the University of North Carolina, and documents Haslam says show early work on a SARS-like genome and a furin cleavage site. George Howard frames the issue as a transparency battle, pointing listeners to the Carolinaflu.org petition and UNC's ongoing resistance to releasing records. The hosts revisit the mainstream lab leak narrative and debate when public opinion shifted from "impossible" to "probably lab leak." A major thread is the claim that the virus was developed as an animal vaccine model involving bats, mink, deer, ferrets, and hamsters. Haslam argues the research was dual-use and aerosol-focused, with Vincent Munster and Tony Fauci's biodefense ecosystem playing major roles in making the pathogen highly transmissible. The conversation returns to FOIA material, email trails, and what the guests describe as incriminating silences or resignations from researchers involved in the work. The group discusses the February 2020 call, the proximal origin paper, and how the scientific and media response shaped the public story. George Howard emphasizes that the UNC document fight is still unfinished, with thousands of pre-pandemic records allegedly still withheld. The episode closes with a call for listeners to support transparency efforts and read Haslam's book for the full argument.

In this wide-ranging interview, Professor Nick Haslam explores ‘concept creep', mental health awareness and the risks of over-pathologising everyday experiences. He considers why younger people may be more likely to self-diagnose and how we might promote mental health literacy without encouraging young people to view ordinary distress through a clinical lens. He also touches on what this might mean for resilience, empathy and our sense of belonging, and reflects on the challenges facing young people as they transition to university.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima examine the concerns surrounding Deshaun Watson's durability and the possibility of his backup seeing significant playing time.

After a quick Cavs update touching on James Harden's offseason drama and the roster's EuroLeague pickups, the show turns back to the Browns when caller Tony argues Jimmy Haslam won't let Shedeur Sanders start Week 1 because keeping him in reserve preserves fan intrigue and ticket sales for a season the team doesn't expect to win. Ken pushes back that Haslam is likely deferring to Todd Monken's football judgment rather than dictating the decision himself, but agrees with the business logic Tony lays out if neither quarterback is considered good long-term. Ken argues there's still more curiosity left in Sanders than in Deshaun Watson, so holding him back keeps something in reserve for later in a lost season either way.

A caller named Brandi pushes back on the "nobody's playing well" narrative surrounding the Browns' quarterback competition, arguing that Deshaun Watson's reported six interceptions in practice, compared to zero from Shedeur Sanders, makes it disingenuous to treat the race as a toss-up. Ken agrees the numbers favor Shedeur but stands by his open-minded stance, noting he's simply relaying reports rather than pushing an agenda, and points out specific instances where other Cleveland media members (Jason Lloyd and Mary Kay Cabot) have publicly favored handing Watson the job outright. The conversation shifts to Jimmy Haslam's preseason comments, with Ken defending Haslam's "take the over" answer on 5.5 wins as a reasonably cautious, non-committal way to manage expectations rather than an outlandish claim.

Ken Carman defends his integrity against "clickbait" labels while discussing the potential for an open competition in the Browns' quarterback room. They examine Jimmy Haslam's tempered win total expectations and the media's role in evaluating training camp practices.

Thankfully… walk into almost any contemporary office and you are likely to find a few strategically positioned plants, a moss wall in reception or perhaps another biophilic feature intended to soften an otherwise corporate environment. Over the past decade, introducing greenery into workplaces has become almost synonymous with employee wellbeing. Yet according to workplace and environmental psychologist Dr Craig Knight, if organisations believe that adding a few plants alone will transform productivity, they have misunderstood the research. Craig's work at the University of Exeter, challenged one of the most enduring assumptions in workplace design, namely that the most productive offices are those that are minimalist and stripped back to their essentials. These highly controlled environments were long thought to minimise distraction and maximise concentration. His research demonstrated precisely the opposite. Employees working in enriched environments containing plants, artwork and opportunities for personalisation consistently performed better than those working in lean, standardised offices. “Wellbeing improved, stress reduced and productivity increased by as much as 15%.” Although plants became the headline of many reports about the research, Craig is keen to put them into context. They are not magical objects capable of transforming a workplace by themselves. Rather, they are one of the simplest and most affordable ways of enriching an environment. This is important for designers, facilities managers and employers to remember. Environmental enrichment can take many forms, including artwork, light, texture and even scent. Plants have proved particularly effective because they are relatively inexpensive, flexible and easy to introduce into existing buildings. Unlike a major refurbishment, they can transform a space almost immediately. The psychology behind their success is equally compelling. Rather than distracting employees from their work, enriched environments provide opportunities for brief moments of cognitive recovery. Looking away from a screen towards a plant or another visually engaging feature gives the brain the chance to reset before returning to the task at hand. These small interruptions help sustain attention rather than diminish it. As Craig puts it, people are happier and more productive when their surroundings offer something meaningful to engage with. Yet as our conversation developed, it became clear that the plants themselves were not the most significant finding from decades of workplace research.The real story is choice. People perform better when they have some control over the environment in which they work. The ability to personalise a desk, influence the layout of a workspace or decide where plants should be positioned may appear insignificant, but psychologically these decisions communicate something much larger. They demonstrate trust. One of the most interesting examples he describes comes from a company in Paris that invited staff to shape their own working environment. Employees created artwork, rearranged spaces, introduced planting and developed breakout areas that reflected their own personalities. There was no substantial design budget. Instead, the organisation trusted its employees to create an environment that suited the way they worked. Productivity increased, but equally important was the sense of ownership people developed towards the workplace. It became somewhere they wanted to be rather than somewhere they were required to attend. This idea of ownership runs through much of his research. Organisations often invest heavily in beautifully designed offices only to prevent employees from moving furniture, repositioning plants or displaying personal objects. In doing so, they unintentionally undermine many of the psychological benefits the design was intended to create. Craig argues that even the best designers cannot predict what will make every individual feel comfortable. A workplace should not simply reflect a corporate identity; it should also allow the identities of the people working there to emerge. "The more you can realise your own identity in your space," he says, "the better that space is."This presents an interesting challenge for architects and interior designers. Design excellence has often been measured by visual consistency and aesthetic control. Yet workplace psychology suggests that highly curated environments are not always the most successful places to work. The role of design may be less about creating a finished solution and more about creating a framework within which people can adapt spaces to suit their own needs. That philosophy extends well beyond office furniture or planting schemes. Craig is equally critical of workplace cultures that attempt to monitor every aspect of employee behaviour. Surveillance software, keystroke monitoring and rigid management structures all communicate a lack of trust, and his research consistently shows that these approaches reduce engagement rather than improve it. Organisations frequently speak about wellbeing while simultaneously removing autonomy from their workforce. The contradiction is difficult to ignore. For those working in Biophilic Design, there is another interesting lesson. The discussion around nature in buildings often focuses on the physiological benefits of plants, daylight or natural materials. Craig does not dismiss those benefits, but he repeatedly brings the conversation back to the social environment. Plants become valuable not simply because they are living organisms, but because they represent care, enrichment and, when employees are involved in choosing and looking after them, shared ownership. It is no coincidence that people often name the plants they care for in the workplace. They become part of the social fabric of an office, small but tangible reminders that the environment is alive and that someone has invested in it. Even preserved planting, increasingly common where living plants are impractical, reflects a desire to introduce texture, colour and references to nature into spaces that might otherwise feel sterile.As organisations continue to rethink hybrid working and the purpose of the office, Knight believes there is an opportunity to move beyond designing attractive workplaces only. The challenge is to create environments where people feel respected, trusted and able to contribute to the spaces they inhabit. His advice to designers:"People first. Design second." It is a principle that sits comfortably alongside Biophilic Design. Creating healthier workplaces has never been solely about filling buildings with plants. It is about designing environments that support human flourishing. Plants remain one of the most effective tools available, but they are most powerful when they become part of a wider culture that values participation, autonomy and wellbeing. In the end, the greenest workplace is not necessarily the one with the most planting. It is the one where people genuinely feel that they belong.

Mike Harmon & Jared Smith discussed the report that Deshaun Watson has the inside edge in the Browns QB competition! Mike Harmon: "This report means that either Andrew Berry is just so desperate to keep his job that they're going to push this through, or Haslam has that invisible hand and won't let go...it's really just a miserable situation if you're a Browns fan..." Jared Smith: "Unless Deshaun is lightyears ahead and he's picking up the offense and he's got the reads down and everything's looking honky dory...if it's even, I would give the job to Shedeur because you got to see what you have in him!"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alex Barros è stato fra i piloti più longevi e di successo del motomondiale. Arrivato dal Brasile, portato dal notissimo ex pilota e imprenditore Jaime Alguersuari, Alex ha iniziato dalla 80 cc arrivando poi nella classe 500, dopo una esperienza in 250, con la Cagiva gestita da Carlo Pernat.Questa, alla vigilia del GP del Brasile, a Goiania, non è una live, bensì una rimpatriata fra vecchi amici. Ed il terzetto che include anche il Decano e la chiacchierata che ne è scaturita è la dimostrazione di un motociclismo che forse non esiste più, ma che non è peccato rinvagare.Nella lunga live emerge il passato e anche qualche SCOOP, come quello di quando la Yamaha portò la sua 500 a Varese, nella sede della Cagiva, per farla COPIARE. Era il 1990, l'anno dell'arrivo di Eddie Lawson, del quale Alex fu anche compagno di squadra.Un fiume di ricordi. Imperdibile!

It is the end of an error in Cleveland, and we can now celebrate the dumbest tank job in the history of dumb tank jobs: A shrewd snakeoil salesman always knows when the jig is up. Paul DePodesta could see that the 2025 Browns were boring deep into the earth's mantle toward a new low, even for them. He had burned through a decade of benefit-of-the-doubt from Stockholm Syndrome-suffering Browns fans and the often-fawning media. He could hear the hecklers, as well as the whispers about the man behind the curtain. DePodesta knew that once the Browns burned through both Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders — the team's desperate double-reverse flea-flicker Hail Mary effort to replace the quarter-billion-dollar imaginary-friend quarterback he traded their future for — he would no longer be able to sell his swindle. And there, sitting on his LinkedIn page like a rube fresh off a turnip truck or a lonely, diamond-studded dowager, were the Colorado Rockies: a perennial doormat of a baseball franchise coming off a 119-loss season. So DePodesta, the Duke and Dauphin of Moneyball, tied some bedsheets together and slipped out the back window of Browns headquarters before anyone could nab him. “The Browns were good at planning for the future to win while DePodesta was here,” wrote Jason Lloyd in The Athletic. “They just rarely got around to the actual winning. It was like booking and planning elaborate Caribbean vacations but never taking them.” No, Jason, that's not quite correct. What DePodesta did was like investing money needed for food and roof repairs into cryptocurrency, then telling the family over a crackers-and-ketchup dinner that they were too stupid to understand his daring long-range vision. DePodesta, the Browns' former Chief Strategic Officer, was at least magnanimous enough to accept a tiny sliver of blame for the Deshaun Watson fiasco. Sort of. When cornered by the Rockies media about Watson in his introductory press conference, DePodesta said: Here's what I would say, and I truly believe this. I believe that most of the decisions, especially the big ones like that, are organizational decisions, right? I'm not a believer in the ‘King Scout' situation where there is one guy who makes every call. The jobs are too complex, the decisions are too hard. They impact too many different things. So I always think these sort of collective decisions, it can be hard to get unanimous (opinions) on those types of things. Everyone who was a part of that? We all own that. We just do, that's part of the deal. What an absolute cheesedick. DePodesta sounds exactly like the “consultant” who comes to you, the assistant manager, and says: Replace all our desks with standing work stations and the coffee machine with inspirational posters. You can sign off on those decisions. I was never here. I will never stop being amused by the earnest discussions about which sequence of years of deliberate non-competitiveness made their organization the best in North American pro sports, the Cleveland Browns or the Philadelphia 76ers. (If you don’t deliberately lose as many games as possible for years at a time, how can you acquire a truly indispensable superstar like Ben Simmons?) Still, it’s hard to top intentionally going 1-31, passing on DeShaun Watson to take an F- prospect in the second round, drafting a solid if not transcendent QB #1 overall, trade the solid QB for a 5th round pick, and then invest an enormous amount of trade and salary capital in the QB you passed on after he had proven to be a serial sexual harasser because of some numbers inflated by a lot of garbage-time stat padding on a 4-12 team. Amazing stuff. Admittedly, it’s not entirely on DePodesta — Haslam was obviously a major factor in the world historically catastrophic Watson trade — but a share of responsibility is enough to damn him in any court. Perhaps he will be better back in his native sport, and it would be hard for the Rockies to get worse. On the other hand, I would have said that about the Browns.
