YUH 264 - Laurence Hedges returns to Yeah Uh Huh with his third and final volume on the legendary British punk band Siouxsie and the Banshees. This time he covers the last three albums in the band's discography, Peepshow, Superstition and The Rapture. In between the recordings, Siouxsie performed in Tim Burton's 1989 box office smash Batman, partied with Jane's Addiction and Ice T as part of the very first Lollapalooza lineup and did side projects with John CAle and The Creatures. Laurence has realized a level of celebrity in Great Britain, having made appearances with the famed rock journalist John Raab and longest standing Banshee guitarist John McKay. We are so pleased to have made his acquaintance through Siouxsie and the Banshees' music, and even more so to have him as a friend. #siouxsiesioux #siouxsieandthebanshees #johnmckay #lollapalooza #steveseverin #budgie #malcolmmclaren #kissthemforme #100clubYUH Theme by David T and Mojo 3https://www.amazon.com/Insanity-Sobri...Anti Social Network on Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1NrDN795E7qwmKL5wS6z7wPurchase Siouxsie and the Banshees Journey's End on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/Journeys-End-Siouxsie-Banshees-1987-1996/dp/191841906XPurchase Siouxsie and the Banshees Into The Light on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/Journeys-End-Siouxsie-Banshees-1987-1996/dp/191841906XPUrchase Siouxsie and the Banshees The Early Years on Amazonhttps://a.co/d/0ek6lICgYeah Uh Huh Social Stuff:Yeah Uh Huh on TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@yeahuhhuhpodYeah Uh Huh on Facebookhttps://facebook.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7pS9l716ljEQLeMMxwihoS?si=27bd15fb26ed46aaYeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611Yeah Uh Huh Website:https://yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com/yeahuhhuhpod

As the weather starts to warm up, tensions among players and teams naturally begin to rise, as we've seen multiple altercations occur during games this past week. With Wilson Contreras taking exception to words said to him by Cade Cavalli and Josh Naylor getting into it with former teammate Austin Hedges, it's time to ask the question: What's with the beef? On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down the bad blood that circulated through Fenway Park between the Boston Red Sox and the Washington Nationals, as well as between the Cleveland Guardians and the Seattle Mariners. Did Wilson Contreras have the right to be as upset as he was with Cade Cavalli? Is there a bigger issue that needs to be discussed regarding Josh Naylor's former actions with teammates? Later on the show, Jake and Jordan preview the 2026 MLB Draft, including which of Roch Cholowsky, Vahn Lackey and Grady Emerson could go No. 1 overall and why Jackson Flora is the clear top pitcher in this draft class. They then take a look at the New York Yankees suffering their annual June swoon after dropping their series to the Detroit Tigers, with Cam Schlittler helping to extend the skid, and Junior Caminero officially joining the Home Run Derby field. 2:13 - The Opener: Brawl in Boston 19:14 - Naylor vs. Hedges 30:46 - 2026 MLB Draft preview 53:22 - Around the League: MLB changed the balls 56:09 - Yankees and their June swoon 1:02:02 - Junior Caminero joins the Home Run Derby Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Jonathan and Daryl highlight the Guardians' recent win and Austin Hedges' offensive contributions before debating the Cleveland Browns' handling of Shedeur Sanders. They also explore LeBron James' growing obsession with golf and how Northeast Ohio's weather could impact his future. 01:00 - Austin Hedges' Performance 02:17 - Sanders Evaluation 08:30 - LeBron's Golf Obsession

Ken and Anthony break down the Guardians' wild comeback win over Seattle, capped by Austin Hedges allegedly telling former teammate Josh Naylor "nobody likes you" after a heated exchange at first base. They debate whether the line still carries weight among adults and what it says about how Naylor was viewed in the clubhouse. The win pushed Cleveland to 44 victories and kept them within striking distance in a wide open AL race. They close by digging into fresh reports linking LeBron to a possible move to Golden State, with Ken admitting it has him souring on the idea of a Cleveland return.

Ken and Anthony revisit the Naylor-Hedges feud and use it to reexamine how much popularity actually matters for a leader in the clubhouse, drawing comparisons to Myles Garrett and Baker Mayfield situations where talent outweighed teammate friction. They also dig deeper into the Brendan Sorsby debate, with Ken arguing the NFL's harsh letter and lack of direct contact with Sorsby felt hypocritical given how the league has handled other troubled prospects, including Shedeur Sanders. Ken says his curiosity about seeing Sorsby actually play outweighs his concerns, framing football ultimately as an entertainment business. They close by teasing an upcoming Matt Dery interview on the Guardians' big weekend win.

Matt Dery joins Ken and Anthony to rank Sunday's comeback win among the Guardians' top three of the season, crediting Chase DeLauter and Hoskins for finally delivering with runners in scoring position. He explains the Naylor-Hedges tension by pointing to Naylor's lack of postseason hustle and reputation around the league, while praising Hedges as the most respected leader in the clubhouse. Derry also breaks down Travis Bazzana's rookie struggles, arguing he still belongs everyday given his draft pedigree, and pushes back on the idea that Cleveland can't develop hitters by pointing to Bazzana, DeLauter and Kahlil Watson's early returns.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to the Cleveland Guardians' dramatic comeback victory and the viral lip-reading moment involving Austin Hedges. On The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima, they debate the validity of LeBron James rumors and the potential of adding a "dog" like Jaylen Brown to the Cavaliers roster. 02:15 - Guardians Win of Year 05:25 - Hedges and Naylor Reputation 09:25 - American League Division Race 12:45 - LeBron James Rumor Mill 18:30 - Comparing All-Time Legacies 22:10 - LeBron's Final Season Strategy 26:05 - Jaylen Brown Trade Fit 30:15 - Ken's Personal Golf Struggles 37:10 - Cool Ray's Inspiring Story 41:30 - Brendan Sorsby Betting Scandal

ABC's of the Mariners - A is for Austin Hedges- was Hedges speaking for others during his exchange with Naylor yesterday? - B is for Bullpen- yeah, we've ranted about the bullpen already this morning, but we are just following the alphabet here… - C is for Cal- he called out some of the efforts of his teammates yesterday. :30- We spoke with Jon Ryan on Friday and we learned some stuff about punting that we never knew before! :45- We wrap up the Monday show with one last thing!

"Robotic lockers and ozone-based water filtration systems." As we close in on the halfway point of 2026, Gary and Hannah review the latest travel and tourism developments across ASEAN and beyond with stopovers in Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. Gary's just back from Travel Meet Asia in Jakarta, where Brunei previewed its largest year-long tourism promotion in 2027, which we break down. Meanwhile, airlines - and air fares - are in the spotlight with mixed messages delivered this week by AirAsia and AirBorneo. So, what happens next? Plus, we look at the new solutions Vietnam is putting in place (Hint: the army) to ensure the massive new Long Thanh International Airport opens before the end of the year, and ponder why Cambodia is offering visa-free access to Chinese tourists for a limited 4-month period. Finally, we head to Singapore, where the city's long-anticipated "mega wellness project" has broken ground - but what will be inside?

Branden Hudson welcomes repeat guest Professor Miles “Scoochie” Moffitt, founder of Southside Jiu-Jitsu in Salisbury, Maryland, to trace his martial arts lineage and 30-year jiu-jitsu journey. Miles describes starting martial arts in the 1970s, earning a taekwondo black belt, quitting due to “smoke and mirrors,” and later discovering the UFC via VHS rentals in the mid-1990s, which sparked his search for Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. He began training in an informal garage group, then at Philadelphia's Maxercise under Steve Maxwell, detailing the old-school training environment, early seminar culture, and the evolution of no-gi. He recounts Maxwell's connections to Rorion and Rolls Gracie, the denouncement letter from Rorion, and how Saulo Ribeiro and eventually Hedges “Comprido” Lemos became key influences, leading to Miles' 25-year relationship under Hedges. Miles shares that Royce Gracie trained and slept at Maxercise before early UFCs and that Maxwell put up the first $10,000 for UFC 1, then closes with where to find Miles online.00:00 Welcome and Support00:31 Meet Professor Scoochie01:39 Early Martial Arts Roots02:16 Taekwondo and Competition03:05 Quitting Karate for Practicality04:24 Pool Hall Life and Boxing Tapes05:11 Discovering UFC and Royce07:54 Searching for Jiu Jitsu Online09:03 Garage Training Begins11:03 First Trip to Philly11:31 9 11 and Taking Over12:51 Building a Hidden Dojo13:41 Maxercise and Steve Maxwell15:28 Outsider in Philly17:05 Inside the Old School Gym19:04 Tracing the Lineage19:20 Blue Belt Politics20:18 Denounced by Rorion21:26 Rolls Grants Black Belt22:04 Dirty Dozen Debate23:04 Certificate Standoff24:20 Seminar Era Memories25:29 Bouncer Challenge Stories26:01 Meeting Hedges Ribeiro28:51 Joining the Association31:47 Royce Trains for UFC34:19 Birth of No Gi36:49 Plugs and Farewell

Journalist and author Chris Hedges joins Jimmy to argue that the US and Israel have suffered a "humiliating defeat" in the Iran war, with Iran now the dominant power in the Middle East, exerting a stranglehold on 20% of seaborne oil and natural gas, and that the war has accelerated the terminal decline of the American empire. He notes that Trump launched the war against the advice of his own intelligence chiefs and military advisers, based on a fantasy sold to him by Netanyahu that regime change would be quick and easy—and that the Gulf States were not consulted, their air defenses were stripped to prioritize Israel, and they now realize US bases are "magnets" for attack rather than protection.  Hedges warns that the key issue is the dollar: if China, Russia, and Iran succeed in breaking the dollar's hegemony as the world's reserve currency, the US will be unable to sell Treasury bonds, leading to an instant contraction and the collapse of the empire. He concludes that Trump is little more than a figurehead surrounded by sycophants who are eviscerating the administrative state, and that unlike previous Republican presidents who were reined in by establishment figures, Trump's second-term team is deliberately accelerating the implosion. Plus segments on Trump's latest threat to bomb a longtime Middle East ally and AI proving more costly for corporations than using human employees. Also featuring Garland Nixon and Stef Zamorano!

At 41 years old, with no woodworking background and tools made from hot-glued blocks of wood, Craig Hedges won a YouTube scholarship that changed the trajectory of his entire family's life. In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Craig Hedges, the new owner of Goliath Hardwoods in Evansville, Indiana. Craig's story starts with a $250 check from a YouTube woodworker's scholarship fund, a circular saw, a jigsaw, and a drill. What began with cornhole boards made alongside his wife and four kids eventually grew into pen turning, laser engraving, craft shows, and ultimately the purchase of a nearly 30-year-old hardwood retail business that was days away from closing its doors forever. You'll hear about how Craig and his family funded a trip to Disney World entirely from cornhole board sales, and the car ride home where the kids declared they were done making them. You'll hear about how he discovered Goliath Hardwoods as a customer, watched the sale fall through multiple times with other buyers, and negotiated an owner-financed deal that let the business pay for itself from day one. Craig also shares how he inherited a loyal customer base, kept the existing staff, and immediately went to work building a social media presence from scratch with his son Ian behind the camera. You'll also hear about the incredible historic restoration project that landed on Craig's doorstep, resurfacing 130-plus-year-old flooring from the old Cargis building to be installed in 121 new apartments. Craig talks about his plans to create custom wood urns with military branch scroll work for local funeral homes, his vision for a dedicated maker space, and the heartwarming story of helping a pair of newlyweds build their first dining table in his shop. Jennifer and Craig also dig into sourcing strategies for small retailers, from Facebook Marketplace finds to building relationships with larger local suppliers, and how to use social media to stop the scroll and find the wood you need.

Send us Fan MailExecutive presence is not only about how you carry yourself or how you sound. It lives in the words you choose. Consider this: "Sorry, I just wanted to quickly jump in here. This might be a silly question, and I could be totally wrong, but I was kind of wondering if maybe we should look at the numbers again before we decide? Does that make sense?" In a few seconds, that leader undermined herself nine times. Her idea was strong. Her language was apologizing for it. If you have ever walked out of a meeting wondering why the room did not respond to a recommendation you knew was right, this episode hands you the exact words working against you, and the swaps that turn your competence back into authority.In this episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton goes deep on the verbal pillar of executive presence: the actual words coming out of your mouth. She walks through four categories of language that quietly drain authority from strong ideas, the apologies, the minimizers, the hedges, and the filler words, and gives you the specific swaps that change how the room hears you. Through the story of Diane, a composite client twice passed over for a director role until she changed her language, Kele shows what shifts in your executive presence when your competence is no longer hidden by the words around it.This is Part 3 of the four-part Executive Presence Series. It follows Episode 168 on the visual pillar (the Three Anchors of Embodied Presence) and Episode 170 on the vocal pillar (pitch, pace, volume, and pauses). Each part builds your executive presence one layer at a time, leading to Episode 174, where all three pillars come together in a real high-stakes moment.What You Will Learn:Why women learn these speech patterns early, so you can stop blaming yourself for habits that were once rewarded.The gratitude reframe that lets you stay warm without lowering your standing in the room.Why the word "just" is a verbal apology for the size of your own thought, and the one-second fix that makes any sentence stronger.How a hedge at the front of a sentence quietly instructs the room to dismiss what you are about to say, before you have even said it.The phrase Kele gives every client to replace the question "Does that make sense?", which keeps your authority intact and still invites a real conversation.Why filler words are not the villain, except in the moments that matter most, and how the pause does the same job with the opposite effect.Your Action Step:Pick one word and hunt it for one week:Choose either "just" or" sorry", whichever shows up more in your speech.When you catch it before it comes out, delete it. When you catch it after it comes out, notice it without self-criticism, and keep going.Bonus: Write your three favorite swaps on a sticky note. "Sorry" becomes "thank you". "Just" gets deleted. "Does that make sense?" becomes "What questions do you have?"Mentioned in This Episode:Continue building your executive presence with Episode 170: Vocal Presence for Women Leaders (Part 2 of 4), on pitch, pace, volume, and pauses.Start the series from the beginning with Episode 168: How to Build Executive Presence with 3 Anchors (Part 1 of 4), on the visual pillar.Book a Leadership Strategy Call (30 minutes, complimentary): https://calendly.com/kele-thetailoredapproach/leadership-strategy-callAbout Your Host:Kele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and consultant who helps high-performing women in middle management build the communication and leadership strategies that get them recognized, sponsored, and promoted.Connect with Kele:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

Today's episode is the next in a group of interviews we recorded at Steamboat Music Fest this past January.  In this episode we interview Andy Hedges.  Andy is a songster, reciter, storyteller, guitarist, and collector of cowboy songs and poems. The son of an Italian schoolteacher and a rodeo cowboy turned preacher, Andy was born in Lubbock, Texas, in the spring of 1980. He grew up in the small community of Tokio, Texas, where his family paid rent on an old farmhouse by looking after a few head of cattle. It was there that Andy fell in love with traditional music by listening to his father's cassettes of cowboy songs.  Andy has had the honor of performing at places like the Grand Ole Opry and the Newport Folk Festival.  Andy is also a podcaster and hosts Cowboy Crossroads with Andy Hedges featuring his interviews with everyone from cowboy poets and musicians to working cowboys.  Enjoy the show!

Segment 1: Building a Healthcare System That Works for Working Families Three decades of experience have given Kari Hedges, Senior Vice President of Market Solutions at the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, a clear view of what remains broken in American medicine. Joining National Labor Office Executive Director Merrilee Logue, Hedges discusses the urgent need for data interoperability—the ability for different medical systems to share patient records seamlessly. Hedges shares a moving personal story about navigating a fragmented system to save her own mother's life, illustrating why BCBS is building a new interoperability hub to give physicians a real-time view of a patient's history. We also dive into the impact of electronic prior authorization, which has already shown the potential to resolve 84 percent of cases instantaneously and improve provider efficiency by up to 230 percent. Finally, the pair discusses the responsible deployment of Artificial Intelligence and the continued expansion of telehealth and behavioral health services for workers facing shift-work barriers.   Segment 2: Steel Benchmarks, Trade Enforcement, and the Ohio Primary In our second segment, Pat Gallagher, President of the North Coast Area Labor Federation, breaks down the economic signals heading into a pivotal bargaining season for the United Steelworkers. With hot-rolled coil trading above $1,000 per ton, the industry is entering a strong financial position just as contracts with Cleveland-Cliffs and U.S. Steel are set to expire on September 1. Gallagher also addresses the complexities of trade enforcement and the upcoming USMCA renegotiations, highlighting how "trade cheating"—such as routing Chinese steel through third countries—undercuts American workers. Looking toward the May 5 Ohio primary, Gallagher emphasizes the importance of electing labor voices to the statehouse, backing a slate of union candidates including Davida Russell (AFSCME), Scott Demaro (OHEA), and Brian Poindexter (Ironworkers).

A breathalyzer test at Martin County Jail returned no trace of alcohol, with investigators believing his impairment was drug or medication-related. - Woods charged with DUI, property damage and test refusal (Woods refused to submit to a urine test, an offense that carries a separate charge under Florida law. No injuries were reported to Woods or the driver of the other vehicle.) - Breathalyzer showed no alcohol; impairment believed drug-related - Woods released after spending eight hours in jail Private Credit - Now Blaming ...
