This week on The Running Mullet… What happens when you mix trail runners, a moving train, and a little Appalachian magic? You get the legendary Highball to Thurmond — one of the most unique races in the area. Set deep in the New River Gorge of West Virginia, runners can choose from multiple distances — from a shorter scenic 50k to rugged 50 mile run, ruck, and relay distances that wind through historic rail towns, forested trails, crushed gravel, and relentless Appalachian climbs. But no matter the distance, the mission stays the same: Beat the train. Participants race toward Thurmond while the Amtrak line rolls alongside the gorge below. Finish before the train arrives, and you've officially outrun it. Then, after the suffering is over, runners climb aboard for one of the coolest post-race traditions anywhere — riding the train back to the start with a full car of exhausted trail runners swapping stories and survival tales. This week, we're breaking down the course, the strategy, the train logistics, and why this race has become such a great event for trail runners across the region. Appalachian grit, rail-town history, and a finish line unlike anything else — this week on The Running Mullet.
Send us Fan MailDisney feels expensive now. Crowded now. Scheduled now. So we try something different: we time travel, cocktail in hand, and rebuild two Disney vacations from the ground up to see what the parks were really like when the rhythm was slower and the price tags were smaller.We start at Geo-82 in spirit with a Brulee Banana Highball: whiskey, banana liqueur, espresso syrup, Oloroso sherry, club soda, and cacao bitters. Then we jump straight into the challenge. One of us goes deep on Disneyland 1973, when ticket books still shaped your whole day and the Main Street Electrical Parade is brand new. The other maps out Walt Disney World 1984 with an old-school stay at the Polynesian, early EPCOT details, and side quests like River Country and Discovery Island.Along the way we compare admission prices, hotel rates, dining costs, and the feel of attractions across decades, from classic Magic Kingdom lineups to the edutainment-heavy early EPCOT era. We also get honest about what we'd actually want from the past: not “better,” just different, including one hill we'll die on, bringing back the PeopleMover.If you love Disney history, Disney nostalgia, trip planning, or just arguing about what the parks gained and lost over time, hit subscribe, share this with a Disney friend, and leave us a review with the year you'd time travel to.
Matthew wrote that title. The brothers react to the Padres series including the stellar outing of Trevor McDonald (EIEIO), the debut of Home Run Jesus [Rodriguez], and what both of their performances mean for the Giants roster. They then ask the question no one wants to hear: Are the 2026 Giants bad? That answer might all hinge on the performance of just a few players.On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Whisk(e)y Highball while Matthew is drinking an Essex Street. Recipes below.Whisk(e)y Highball2 oz Whisk(e)y4 oz Club SodaPour the whisk(e)y into a highball with ice, ideally a single long spear. Top with the club soda and stir once gently with a bar spoon.

She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer.” – Rupert Giles. Flipping the tropes on their head is what this series does.

So, join us for the first discussion of our thoughts, and don't forget about our cocktails for this episode. There should be some good ones.

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Adam, Joanna, and Zach react to a recent piece stating that craft cocktail programs are killing bars. Are the hidden labor and ingredient costs too much for most bars and restaurants to offset? Does the need for highly skilled and well-trained bartenders make aspiring to cutting edge cocktail programs too big a lift for most establishments? If so: what is actually reasonable to expect from most bars and restaurants?

Dave's back and right into the weeds: rebuilding the legendary Flaming Jägerdemo, why modern rotovapcontrollers finally saved bartenders' wrists, and how to keep a Japanese-style whisky highball lively with a little poly-dextrose science. Along the way we detour through lifelong zucchini trauma(and the rare preparations that redeem it), eggplant lore, and the eternal martini question—stirred, shaken, or thrown.Plus, Nastassia's LA dinner parties just got tapped as Esquire's Best—and yes, there was a fruit omakase.

French soldier Gaétan Picon crafted his namesake liqueur — an intensely bitter, herbal, and orange-forward spirit meant to fight off fevers — in the 1830s. Back home, locals soon discovered that a dash of Amer Picon in their beer transformed an ordinary pint into something extraordinary. And so the Picon Bière was born. Joining us to explore it today is Jay Zimmerman, long-time bar owner and bartender at Bar Ba'sik, which sadly recently closed, and sales manager at Good Time Brewing Co. Listen on (or read below) to discover Jay's Picon Bière recipe — and don't forget to like, review, and subscribe! Jay Zimmerman's Picon Bière Recipe Ingredients - 1 ounce Amer Picon or alternative, such as Braulio or the Pathfinder - 6 ounces beer, such as Kronenbourg, Witbier, or Good Time IPA Non-Alcoholic Directions 1. Build in a 10 ounce Highball glass. 2. Serve as cold as possible without ice.
Two years ago, the US was on the cusp of seeing its first national rail strike in decades. Then, President Joe Biden, at the urging of the rail companies, and with the help of both parties in Congress, preemptively blocked railroad workers from striking in December of 2022. Workers were forced to accept a contract that did not address the vast majority of issues that have been putting them, our communities, and our supply chain at hazard. How has this all shaped railroad workers' attitudes and approaches to the upcoming elections? In this urgent panel discussion, we pose this question directly to three veteran railroaders, and we have an honest discussion about how working people should act strategically within and outside the electoral system to advance their interests. Panelists include: Hugh Sawyer, a veteran locomotive engineer with 36 years of experience, a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen Division 316, and a founding member and acting treasurer of Railroad Workers United; Mark Burrows, a retired locomotive engineer with 37 of experience, who has served as co-chair and organizer for Railroad Workers United, where he still edits RWU's quarterly newsletter “The Highball”; Ron Kaminkow, a recently retired former brakeman, conductor, and engineer who worked for many years in freight rail before working 20 years as a passenger engineer at Amtrak, a founding member of RWU and delegate in the Northern Nevada Central Labor Council.
