The Mets and Yankees are struggling as they prepare for their series, with the Mets even lacking a Sunday starter. NBA free agency sees the Knicks' roster seemingly set and LeBron's agent claiming four teams are interested. A man shared his story of leaving his fiancée for an HR colleague. Updates included the Blue Jays beating the Yankees, the Nets introducing draft picks, and Gio predicting a terrible Dolphins season and Mike McDaniel's firing. The "Moment of The Day" featured a Pete Hoffman interview, and the show concluded with a Diamondbacks fan banned for repeated interference and a caller who tries to get six baseballs per game.

A production error led to the wrong Sports Minute being aired, much to Boomer's frustration. Discussions then turned to the puzzling trend of rising NBA salaries and high team valuations, like the Lakers' $10 billion sale, despite years of declining TV ratings. Callers suggested deals with gambling companies might be propping up the league. In other sports news, the Yankees lost in Toronto with more fielding issues, and George Springer hit two homers, including a grand slam. The hour concluded with news that NBA player Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for a potential sports betting scandal, prompting a caller to criticize leagues for their involvement with sportsbooks.

Today's "Bald Face Lie, Bald Face Truth" segment with Hoff challenged BT on three current sports topics. First, BT had to determine if Kayvon Thibodeaux will out-sack Quinnen Williams in 2025, which he declared a "Bald Faced Truth," betting on Thibodeaux's pure pass-rushing focus and the Giants' potential for more leads. Next, they debated if the Knicks will make a "big splash" transaction this offseason, with BT reluctantly calling it a "Bald Faced Lie" due to financial and asset limitations, despite the team's championship aspirations. Finally, the contentious question of whether the Yankees miss Juan Soto was posed, with BT firmly stating "Bald Faced Lie," arguing that the current roster construction, particularly the improved pitching and defense, outweighs Soto's offensive production for overall team success.

Nederland wint de zogenaamde uitzwaaiwedstrijd met 2-1 van een zwak Finland. De basisploeg werd in Leeuwarden wel duidelijk, maar hoever Oranje kan komen in Zwitserland is moeilijk in te schatten.  Nederland is zeker geen favoriet voor de Europese titel, maar blijft wél een echte toernooiploeg. Het EK begint volgende week en Gert van ‘t Hoff blikt vooruit met Leonne Stentler, Rivkah op het Veld en Jeroen Elshoff.

FOX News Correspondent Alexandria Hoff joined Bob Miller and Chris Michaels during the Morning News Express to give us information about the Intel leaks that happened during the Iran strikes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BT and Sal dive headfirst into the upcoming New York Giants season, pondering if rookie QB Jaxson Dart will be the team's savior or just another casualty of their notoriously brutal schedule, all while hilariously recounting their own "adult" adventures, including Hoff's unforgettable (and apparently PG-rated) encounter with an adult film star in Paris that somehow didn't involve any hanky-panky but did lead to her seeking rehab, and Sal's shockingly normal bar chat with a porn star he didn't even realize was a porn star until the very end. It's a wild ride of sports speculation and mildly scandalous anecdotes, proving that sometimes, the most unbelievable stories are the ones where nothing actually happens

In BT & Sal's new segment, "Bad News In a Good Way," Hoff masterfully delivers disheartening Mets updates with an unexpectedly positive spin. He highlights the team's abysmal losing streak and individual player struggles (like Vientos's low batting average and McNeil's slump) by framing them as opportunities for future improvement or comebacks, even managing to find a glimmer of hope in the Braves' own less-than-stellar record despite their recent gains on the Mets. The segment playfully softens the blow of grim baseball realities, aiming to lighten the mood of frustrated Mets fans.

BT and Sal ignite a heated debate over the cinematic classic Braveheart, with Sal expressing shock and dismay that Hoff has only seen the Best Picture winner once, and that it "didn't click." While Sal passionately defends its greatness, comparing it to "a different level" like the "Lord of the Rings for action movies," BT remains unimpressed, confessing he's seen more memes than actual movie and dismisses it as just "war stuff" with Mel Gibson "running around in a skirt." Their clash over the film's merit leads to playful jabs and a clear divide in their movie tastes, particularly on epic historical dramas versus other genres

When Jacob Hoff and Samantha Greenstone met, they became instant best friends. Then, even though Jacob was gay, they realized that their feelings for each other were evolving beyond the platonic, and they decided to give romance a try.On this episode of “Modern Love,” Hoff and Greenstone tell Host Anna Martin how their love gave him the courage to come out to his conservative family. They also explain that when they decided to get married, they realized they'd have to get used to clarifying their commitment again and again. This episode was inspired by Jenny Block's Mini-Vows piece, “A Close Friendship That Developed Into a ‘Soulful Connection.”For more Modern Love, search for the show wherever you get your podcasts.

Real talk: I was so excited to release this episode because the research on belly fat is genuinely fascinating — and the protocol I share at the end? You'll want to try it.But then it hit me — I hadn't yet spoken about why we're all so focused on belly fat in the first place. Where did that frustration come from? Was it truly ours to begin with, or did the media quietly hand it to us?So if you've ever felt insecure about your stomach, that's okay. I'm not here to tell you how to feel — just to help you understand what's really going on beneath the surface, at least from a biological standpoint.What You'll Learn:The science behind spot reduction — myth or possibility?The two types of belly fat (and why one matters more than the other)Why the media gets belly fat so wrongWhat actually helps reduce visceral fatA research-backed training protocol to support healthy fat lossHere's the study if you want to check it out:Brobakken, M.

There's still a lot to learn about how Mizzou athletics will approach the new revenue sharing structure in college sports. Eli Hoff of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch joined the Big Show on Thursday to talk about athletic director Laird Veatch's comments earlier in the day, and how Mizzou might need to position themselves to stay competitive amongst its peers.

In dieser Folge des Politischen Pausen Podcasts spricht Dr. Julia Schwanholz mit Prof. Dr. Benjamin-Immanuel Hoff, ehemaliger Chef der Staatskanzlei und Minister für Kultur, Bundes- und Europaangelegenheiten im Freistaat Thüringen. Zusammen mit dem Linken-Politiker blickt Schwanholz auf politische Umbrüche und die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung in Ostdeutschland sowie das Erstarken der AfD. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, warum sich Thüringen derartig extrem nach rechts verschoben hat. Hoff benennt dazu historische Pfadabhängigkeiten, strukturelle Unterschiede zwischen Ost und West sowie die Rolle von Gewerkschaften, Kirchen und Parteien als demokratische Milieubildner. Darüber hinaus sprechen die beiden über die Zukunft der Linkspartei nach der Abspaltung des BSW, das Spannungsfeld zwischen Regierungsverantwortung und politischer Haltung, die Bedeutung von Kulturpolitik im ländlichen Raum und neue Wege, demokratisches Vertrauen zurückzugewinnen. Herausgekommen ist ein vielschichtiges Gespräch über Demokratie, gesellschaftliche Verantwortung und politische Strategie in bewegten Zeiten.

In the "Bald Faced Lie, Bald Faced Truth" segment, hosts BT and Sal debate three bold sports statements presented by producer Hoff. First, they split on whether Russell Wilson will start the most QB games in New York this season, with BT calling it a lie (favoring Justin Fields) and Sal declaring it a truth (citing Fields' injury risk). Next, both BT and Sal agree it's a lie that the Knicks will trade for a top player before hiring a new head coach, asserting the coaching decision (likely Jason Kidd) will come first. Finally, they diverge on whether Juan Soto will hit more home runs as a Met than Pete Alonso, with BT calling it a lie (believing Alonso will remain and out-homer him) and Sal deeming it a truth (due to Soto's potential longevity and the impact of future lockouts).

In a lively discussion, radio host Sal Licata and his producer Hoff debated and ranked Ben Stiller's filmography. They ultimately agreed on Meet the Parents as his top film, followed by Along Came Polly, The Heartbreak Kid, Tropic Thunder, and Happy Gilmore. Other films like Dodgeball, There's Something About Mary, and Night at the Museum were also mentioned as strong contenders. The conversation took a humorous turn with a caller claiming to be Ben Stiller's second cousin, questioning Stiller's authenticity as a Knicks fan and lamenting his lack of communication.

You didn't think we'd leave this season unfinished did you? The On The Ball team convene for one final time this season to talk through a weird Norwich City season, taking in the Hoff's departure, the short rein of Wilshere, Knapper's gamble, departing players and the shape of the squad. Host Ryan Livermore is joined by Dan Brigham, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders to formally announce the OTB Player of the Season (sponsored by Farming Simulator 25) , hand out their awards (Best Game, Worst Mistake, Best Rallying Call, Best Schadenfraude) and look back at the good, the bad and the 3-5 against Portsmouth of an up-and-down campaign. Plus, there's time to go back over some patchy predictions (featuring Liam Gibbs), get singed by a hot potato in a new quiz from Ryan, and pitch a sponsorship offer to David Bentley. Thank you to all for another highly enjoyable season (we had fun anyway), see you in August to do it all over again!

Sometimes the end of a Norwich City season is all about the football, sometimes it's about the madness off it. This is definitely one of the latter, in a week that has seen the shock departure of the head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup (less shocking six days after the fact, but we're still not over it), the instalment of the baseball cap/cardigan-wearing Jack Wilshere in the interim, and the departure of three long serving players in Angus Gunn, Onel Hernandez and Jacob 'Lungi' Sorensen. Host Ryan Livermore, Zoe Morgan and Steve Sanders reflect on the rights and the wrongs of the big decision, debate the legacies of departing stars, worry about the possibility of Daniel Farke having scurvy, and the latest bout of fully-seated comic acts to be performed at The Riverside.

Today we share a podcast episode on the visual epistemology of astronomy by our friends at The World According to Sound. What kind of knowledge do we really gain when we look at images from space? Longtime listeners to this show will remember The World According to Sound. As we referred to them two years ago, WATS is a team of two rogue audionauts who rebelled against the NPR mothership: Chris Hoff and Sam Harnett. Tired of sound playing second fiddle to narrative on NPR, they launched a micro podcast that held one unique sound under the microscope for 90 seconds each episode. Later, WATS became much more ambitious, producing live sonic odysseys in 8-channel surround sound and live online sound journeys during the pandemic. Since then, Harnett and Hoff have embarked on another project. For the past couple of years, they have been partnering with different universities to translate humanities research into compelling sound-designed narrative podcasts. The first season of Ways of Knowing was produced in partnership with the University of Washington and it focused on different analytical methods and disciplines in the humanities, from close reading, deconstruction, and translational analysis, to black studies, material culture, and disability studies. The second season just wrapped up. It's called Cosmic Visions and it's produced in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University and that's what we'll hear an episode from today. Just this week, they dropped the last episode of season two and now the entire series is available on The World According to Sound website. We wanted to draw your attention to this series because turning humanities research and sound art into a sonic narrative experience was the original mission of Phantom Power. We know that many of you are interested in this area of humanities podcasting as well, so if you're not already a fan of Chris and Sam's work, check it out. We also wanted to share this particular episode because it also provides one answer to a tricky question: How do you do a sonic explication of something that is entirely visual?   Learn more about your ad choices.
