Hayden grew up in Michigan, and was a Wolverine fan, but ended up a Hawkeye. We discuss being a six-year college player after starting at small Christian college Dordt in Sioux Center, Iowa, his Dutch/Michigan connections, and a severe senior-year injury that tore a piece of his pelvis off, forcing surgery and sidelining him from football. He explains how COVID disrupted his senior year, why he chose Dordt, and how entering the portal led to LaVar Woods recruiting him to Iowa, where he became a contributor and embraced the program's culture. Large reflects on the season's “what if” close losses, praises leaders like Mark, describes Tight End U under coach Hodge, discusses teammates Reece, DJ, and quarterbacks Hank and Jeremy, and shares NFL Pro Day preparation in Knoxville with former NFL TE Lee Smith for March 23.

Bruntz recaps a solid weekend of Husker baseball and shares his thoughts on the men's hoop beating the Hawkeyes in overtime.

-Thanks to Purdue's 97-93 loss to Wisconsin (at home) on Saturday, Nebraska already knew before they played Iowa that they wouldfinish no worse than 4 th in the B1G standings, but could finish as high as 2 nd . That's a great feeling….but did they avoid a loss on SeniorDay and also avoid a sweep at the hands of the Hawkeyes?-What was the story of the day and what do we need to monitor this week as Nebraska plays it's first game in the quarterfinals onFriday in Chicago?Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Progressive: https://progressive.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley's 1997 launch Thunderbolts had a killer high concept: what if a band of supervillains posed as heroes to con the public into trusting them? But by the end of issue #12, the central conflict and premise of the series had been effectively dismantled by exposing the team's deception and turning them into fugitives. Where could the series possibly go next? We investigate a narrative swerve that some fans thought was a mistake, but we'd argue took the series to new creative heights. Targeted by the good guys and the bad guys alike, the Thunderbolts go on the run, and Bagley and Busiek turn what could have been a limited premise into a true ongoing series in the tradition of Claremont and Byrne's Uncanny X-Men, constantly shifting the status quo and packing each monthly issue with intrigue and subplots. Plus: Jim and Justin explain why Hawkeye is one of the coolest Avengers ever as he takes the reins of the team.Discussed in this episode: Thunderbolts #13-33, #0Baron Zemo says, "Under no circumstances should you support this podcast at patreon.com/ironageofcomics!" But are you gonna let that guy tell you what you can and can't do??

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1, with Sonia's life right after her stint at community college. She left the Bay Area to attend college up north at Chico State. Widely known as a party school (perhaps rightly so?), they also had a reputable journalism department and an award-winning newspaper. This attracted Sonia, of course. But some friends also attended, and that didn't hurt. Once in Chico, Sonia joined said college paper and got a job (where else?) at a movie theater. It was her first time to move out of her parents' house. She lived with a couple of roommates in Chico. That was one culture shock. Another was that, well, Chico isn't The Bay. And then there's those foothills winters. It also gets hotter in the summer there than it does in Concord. Sonia wrote for every section of the school paper, and even did some online writing, thanks to Chico State's early adoption of the internet. She even developed a little campus fan base. Sometimes walking around, she'd get shout-outs. There was even a Sonia character in one of the local comic strips. It was another phase of finding her people. She thinks that because all her roommates in Chico were men, she got really exciting to hang out with young women. She graduated after three years, in 1996. That Bay Area magnet snatched her back after that, and she moved in with her parents again in Concord. That gave way to an apartment she shared with her sister. Sonia got a job at the Martinez News-Gazette around this time, a three-day-a-week paper where she earned $213 per week. Anywhere she could find free food, she pounced. At the newspaper, she more or less did it all—cops, local and community news, school board meetings, and, of course, a humor column. I ask Sonia who her humor influences and inspirations are, and she immediately cites George Carlin (this is probably a big part of why we're friends). Her dad loved Carlin, too, and Sonia says the old man also has a wicked sense of humor that rubbed off on her. Another source of jokes was none other than Bugs Bunny. And lastly, Alan Alda's Hawkeye in M•A•S•H is another humor muse. That newspaper job led to her time at the San Francisco Independent, a paper owned by the Fang family. Sonia did a neighborhood beat on that job, reporting on school board, planning commission, and other community meetings. We rewind for a minute so Sonia can share early memories and impressions of San Francisco, having grown up across The Bay. When she was a kid, her grandma would take her to see The Nutcracker. She'd visit on other special occasions, but it wasn't until she was an adult that The City really grabbed hold of her heart. There's a hilarious story about showing up to dance at The Palladium wearing a "Ross Perot for President" T-shirt. Years later, with that job at the Independent, Sonia found herself in San Francisco most days. Though she had to write only three stories, the money was better and the circulation bigger than her previous job in Martinez. The beat was familiar—school board and planning commission meetings. She and her sister had bought a house for themselves in Concord, where they lived with her young niece. Eventually, the paper transferred Sonia to its Burlingame office, but it was to start writing movie reviews. Eventually, she even convinced the Independent to let her write TV show reviews. When the Fangs bought the San Francisco Examiner, they kept Sonia on to be their TV critic and moved her back to The City, to an office above the Warfield. She'll be the first to admit that when you're getting paid to watch TV, it's not so fun anymore. The paper cut Sonia, but brought her back three weeks later, this time to be the A&E editor. The Examiner was a slimmed-down, tabloid version of its former self. That's how it was a few years later when, fresh out of journalism school at SF State, I got a job there as a copy editor. I distinctly remember one of my favorite daily tasks was editing Sonia's celebrity gossip column—Scoop, which happened early in my shifts, around 4 p.m. or so. In the episode, I riff about how much I loved reading Scoop every day, even though I've never been good at or cared much for celebrity news. I also let Sonia know that I also appreciated her presence off the page, in the newsroom. She describes her time at The Examiner as something she loved, but it was also hard. She shares that, after working long days for little pay, she'd go home and play The Sims. Once, around 3 a.m., playing the game, her character was going to a party. And it clicked: Sonia couldn't remember the last time she went to a party. She needed to make some changes, and one was leaving The Examiner. First up was an HR temp job where her mom worked, in Vallejo. Next was a job writing press releases for a real estate company. Then she found work at a printing company in Oakland called PS Print. (Our lives intersected again around this time, but that's another story.) She helped them create a social media presence. Outside of work, Sonia had a blog (which she still has) called The Sonia Show. Check back tomorrow for Part 3 with Sonia. We recorded this episode at Rosamunde in The Mission in January 2026.

It's Marvel Monday and it's finally time to watch the first Avengers movie! ABOUT THE AVENGERS Earth's mightiest heroes must come together and learn to fight as a team if they are going to stop the mischievous Loki and his alien army from enslaving humanity. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE AVENGERS May 4, 2012 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF THE AVENGERS Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk Chris Hemsworth as Thor Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye Tom Hiddleston as Loki BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS SHIELD is freaking out because they got an energy reading from the Tesseract. They have no idea why, so they're trying to get everyone out. Nick Fury comes in to talk to the scientist and catch up with Clint Barton, aka Hawk Eye, who he's stationed in the corner of the factory just to keep an eye on things. Suddenly, a laser shoots out and opens up a portal. Loki comes walking out. They tell him to stop and he starts shooting stuff. He pulls Clint under a spell to help him steal the Tesseract. Nick Fury decides it's time for operation Avengers. So he calls Agent Natasha Romanoff to travel to recruit Dr. Bruce Banner. No one knows gamma radiation like Bruce and that's the key to tracking the Tesseract down. SHIELD gets to work on getting Steve Rogers & Tony Stark on board. Loki is mad Thor is king, so he is working with this thing called "The Other" who just wants a bunch of worlds. Loki agrees to help get him the Tesseract which will help him take over worlds and then he'll give Loki Earth. So Loki goes to Germany so that Clint can steal stuff needed to stabilize the Tesseract. The Avengers show up and Loki surrenders. Movie over. Jk. Thor arrives and frees him, hoping to convince him to abandon his plan and return to Asgard. Stark and Rogers find them again and Loki is imprisoned in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s flying base. The Avengers argue about how to best handle the Loki situation especially after finding out that their plans for the Tesseract aren't to use it for good. They talk to Fury about it and he tells them they're making weapons to use against aliens. Needless to say, the Avengers are not doing well. They don't like each other. They argue about everything. And they're being attacked by Loki's baddies, including Clint. This attack makes Bruce very angry and he turns into the Hulk. He chases after Natasha and hits her. Before he can do more damage, Thor shows up. Unfortunately, Loki ends up getting away & sending Thor falling to what might be his death. Loki then escapes after stabbing Agent Coulson. Fury uses Coulson's death to motivate the Avengers to work together as a team. Loki uses the Tesseract to open a portal above Stark Tower in New York City, allowing his baddies to attack. The Avengers, as they now call themselves, work together to protect New York. The Hulk knocks Loki out while Black Widow finds out that Loki's scepter can shut down the Tesseract. Fury's bosses don't trust the Avengers, so they shoot a missile at New York City. So Iron Man flies to intercept the missile and flies it toward the wormhole. Right when he pushes it through, Black Widow closes the wormhole but Stark is unconscious. The Hulk catches him and the Avengers wake him up. Thor moves Loki and the Tesseract to Asgard, where Loki will face justice for his crimes. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?
