Shampoo, lotions, guns, knives and a lot of other things are confiscated at airport security checkpoints every day. What happens to all those things? Can you ever get them back? This episode starts by taking a look. https://www.rd.com/article/return-confiscated-items-tsa/ Even if you don't believe in them, you probably participate in some superstitions. Maybe you knock on wood or avoid walking under a ladder or steer clear of black cats. Where do these superstitions come from? Why do they still exist since we know they don't really do anything? Here to explain this is Arie Kaplan, who has written numerous books and graphic novels and is also a television writer. Arie is author of a book called The Encyclopedia of Curious Rituals and Superstitions: Ancient and Remarkable Traditions That Will Captivate Your Mind (https://amzn.to/44xpZ8m). It is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride through Boston. While you likely learned something about it in school, there is much more to the story you probably don't know. Not only was Paul Revere a skilled horseman, he was also a “self-taught” dentist, bell maker and an excellent silversmith and engraver. And there is much more to his legacy as you will hear from my guest Kostya Kennedy. He is a former senior writer and editor at Sports Illustrated and has written books about Jackie Robinson, Joe DiMaggio and Pete Rose. He is also author of the book, The Ride: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America (https://amzn.to/4klhtyY). What is the best way to construct a fire? There is one right answer whether you are building a campfire, a bonfire or stacking charcoal in your grill. What's strange is – you instinctively know how to do it.

This week, Pastor Nate  continues our journey through the book of Proverbs by exploring the theme of self-control—a powerful, protective, and essential virtue for godly living.We start by reflecting on Proverbs 25:28, which compares a person without self-control to a city with broken-down walls—vulnerable and defenseless. Without self-control, we open ourselves to temptation, attack, and despair. But by applying the wisdom of Proverbs, we can begin rebuilding those protective walls.We focus on three key areas where self-control matters most:Guarding Our WordsProverbs teaches us to restrain our lips and think before we speak—not everything on our mind needs to be said. Wisdom comes when we acknowledge that we don't know it all and choose our words carefully, asking: Is it True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, and Kind?Practicing PatienceProverbs 16:32 tells us that patience is more powerful than physical strength. We saw this modeled in the lives of Jackie Robinson, MLK Jr., and Joseph, who all overcame injustice through patient endurance. We, too, must fix our eyes on the reward, trusting God's timing.Delaying GratificationFrom time and money to food and technology, Proverbs urges us to store up wisely and avoid overindulgence. Lack of self-control in these areas leads to regret, unpreparedness, and bondage. Small, daily decisions in stewardship and restraint lead to long-term peace and freedom.Lastly, we look at self-control as a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23). This isn't just about willpower or Stoic philosophy. True self-control comes from walking with the Spirit, surrendering our fleshly desires to God, and letting His power work in us. It's not behavior modification—it's spiritual transformation.

In this episode of Manic Joy, Reese unwraps one of the most thoughtful gifts Dave has ever given her—a subscription to History By Mail. That kicks off a delightfully nostalgic conversation about Reese's love of history, Jackie Robinson and Chock Full o'Nuts, Annie Oakley's offer to lead 50 sharpshooters, and Johnny Cash's presidential penmanship. Plus, a heartfelt detour into parenting, AI, and analog joy. There's also sock drawer drama, meatball hats, and a cocktail that tastes like dessert—because obviously.Drink of the episode: Black Forest Martini

Interview Begins @ 10:50 mark

The Ryan Express was rolling along in June of 1975 as Nolan Ryan had just thrown the 4th no-hitter of his career while pitching for the California Angels. The flame throwing righty was doing things nobody had ever seen before, and would continue to do until his bionic arm finally gave out while with the Rangers in 1993. 27 seasons, 5,714 strikeouts, and 7 no-hitters later, Ryan finally was put out to pasture where he continued to be a success in whatever he did… and people noticed. One such person was Leo Ullman who two years after Ryan threw the final pitch of his Hall-of-Fame career purchased 11 Nolan Ryan baseball cards at a $1 a piece… and so began the largest collection of Nolan Ryan memorabilia that has been assembled. Saddles, cleats, bats, balls, if it had Nolan Ryan's name attached to it, Ullman purchased it, eventually amassing close to 15,000 different items in a collection that now resides at Stockton University in New Jersey. Ullman wanted the entire collection to stay input, so instead of it going to the Hall of Fame where they might have picked over the items in the collection, he kept it intact at the campus in Galloway Township. A lawyer by trade, Ullman is also an author, having written a book about his collection titled, ‘Nolan Ryan, The Largest And Most Unique Collection Of All Things Nolan Ryan, The Greatest Power Pitcher Of All Time.” But that's not the only book Mr. Ullman wrote. ‘796 Days: Hiding as a child in occupied Amsterdam during WWII and then coming to America' is the story of Leo as a 3-year old when he was taken in by a couple and hidden in their attic for over 2 1/2 years during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam. The Dutch resistance put his parents in a different house and it wasn't until the war was over that young Leo was reunited with his birthparents… who survived without knowing if their little Leo had as well. Leo comes on the Past Our Prime podcast and tells us the similarities between his life's story and that of Anne Frank's. He would later go on to become a Director and Chairman of the Anne Frank Center USA  and tells us that his war-parents brought him to stay with them knowing they could be executed if the Jewish boy was found for one reason… “It was the right thing to do.”  His parents would emigrate to the States and settle in Brooklyn and 8-year old Leo would fall in love with Jackie Robinson and the Dodgers. A few years later the team would break Leo's heart and leave for Los Angeles, but Leo's love for baseball never waned. At some point, his allegiance turned to the Mets and years later, when Mets owner Steve Cohen heard of Leo's story, he invited him to throw out the first pitch at a game…  Leo recalls how, much like a former Mets pitcher by the name of Nolan Ryan, he bounced the pitch in the dirt much to his chagrin. But he refused to let his time in that attic define him. Instead, he joyfully tells us how he spent time with the Mets in a fantasy camp years ago and still keeps in touch with his fellow Mets buddies… At age 86, Leo has gone from the nightmare of the Holocaust to a Mets Dream Week… and in between, put together the largest collection of Nolan Ryan collectibles of all-time. It's been quite the life for Leo and he tells us all about it on the Past Our Prime podcast… Give us a listen and drop us a review wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.

In new remarks for this week's baseball and history reprise, we argue about bunts, kites, and kings—why would anyone wish for any of them? Kites are okay, of course, but the other two are problematic. We then revisit the Brooklyn Dodgers with Jackie Robinson asked to comment on a fallen Hall of Famer who had once been his teammate, then jump back to the days before World War II, when the America First Committee wanted to take over a baseball stadium for one of their isolationist/anti-Semitic rallies. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. Baseball, America's brighter mirror, often reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect history, politics, stats, and frequent Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Are the tradeoffs that highly successful executives make — prioritizing wealth and recognition over family and a more grounded life — truly worth it? That's the central question that prompted Butch Meily to write From Manila to Wall Street, a memoir reflecting on his time nearly 40 years ago as a close aide to the brilliant but often brash Reginald F. Lewis, the first African-American to build a billion-dollar company. Lewis was a trailblazing businessman and investor who, in the 1980s, bulldozed through racial barriers. Financier and philanthropist Michael Milken described him as “the Jackie Robinson of American business.” Although Lewis died of a brain tumor at age 50 in 1993, the actionable insights gleaned from Lewis's business life remain relevant to this day, chief among them his motto: “Keep going no matter what.” Lewis reached extraordinary heights, bringing Meily along with him. Nevertheless, the lives of both men serve as a cautionary tale of the price each paid for their achievements. Their enduring legacy: build boldly, lead wisely — but never forget to live. [A native of the Philippines, Meily currently serves as president of the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation, a private-sector disaster management organization. Earlier in his career, he worked in public relations for both Burson-Marsteller and Howard J. Rubenstein Associates.] Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

We welcome to our microphones award-winning author, cultural critic and Washington University in St. Louis professor Gerald Early, whose new book "Play Harder: The Triumph of Black Baseball in America" is a sweeping chronicle of Black Americans' extraordinary influence on the game of baseball — from the sport's formative days in the wake of the Civil War, through the heyday of the Negro Leagues, to the modern era. A leading voice in the conversation about race, sports, and American identity, Early also served as an advisor to the National Baseball Hall of Fame's landmark new exhibit, Souls of the Game: Voices of Black Baseball. Together, the book and exhibit offer a timely and powerful retelling of baseball's past — one that acknowledges long-overlooked figures like Moses Fleetwood Walker, Rube Foster, and Cool Papa Bell, and reexamines well-known legends like Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Barry Bonds through a deeper historical lens. We discuss how Play Harder arrives at a moment of renewed focus on the Negro Leagues, as Major League Baseball officially recognizes them as major leagues and integrates their stats into the game's official record.  Early explains why this recognition matters, how the Negro Leagues shaped Black identity and community, and what the story of Black baseball says about America itself. + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/good-seats-still-avalable?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  "Play Harder: The Triumph of Black Baseball in America": https://amzn.to/4dzBmRj   SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old Fort Baseball Co.

I sat down with author Jeffrey Orens, who wrote Selling Baseball: How A.G. Spalding Built America's Game.This episode is all about the unsung architects of America's pastime—A.G. Spalding and George Wright. These two names might not be as famous as Babe Ruth or Jackie Robinson, but their impact on baseball's transformation from a simple game to a nationwide business powerhouse is huge.We'll explore how Spalding's marketing genius and Wright's pioneering play helped shape baseball into the beloved sport we know today. You're not going to want to miss this deep dive into baseball history.

Dr. Beckett, Matt Galvin, and Rich Klein discuss their admiration for the 1956 Topps baseball card set. Dr. Beckett recounts his personal connection to the set and the aesthetic and historical elements that make it unique. They cover various topics including the design, artwork, and the player composition of the set, while also addressing the historical context surrounding it, such as the competition and eventual acquisition between Topps and Bowman. The conversation includes insights into notable cards, like those of Roberto Clemente and Jackie Robinson, and the strategies behind card series releases during the 1950s.   01:57 Design and Artwork of 56 Topps 04:07 Player Composition and Missing Stars 06:30 Comparing 56 Topps with Other Sets 12:05 Marketing Strategies and Final Series 13:06 Clemente and Robinson Cards

Good Bad Sport 042 “Jackie Robinson” Originally Released on May 24th 2023 Perhaps not everyone who listens to this podcast knows that I am also cohost on my youngest son Jackson's podcast. He started the JGB Sports podcast in 2022 and it was initially going to be about all sports but it quickly became a podcast on college baseball and then more specifically following the Division 1 Coppin State Eagles from Baltimore .We do mix it up from time to time though. This weeks episode was originally Ep42 of the JGB Sports podcast back in May 2023. Only the segment about Jackie Robinson has been included in here though. Jackson was 9 at the time of recording. We did go to the Jackie Robinson Museum during Spring Break in 2024.

In Washington, a rare flicker of institutional resistance is lighting up the political gloom. As the Supreme Court sides 7-2 against mass deportations and Harvard takes legal aim at executive power, Roifield Brown and his panel ask the awkward but necessary question: Is the American Republic finally growing a spine? Panelists Denise Hamilton and Mike Donahue agree that while Trump's pressure tactics aren't new, the scale of legal and educational defiance certainly is. Meanwhile, they also highlight the existential threat: America's fragmented information ecosystems mean citizens no longer even start from the same facts, making any comeback for democratic norms a grinding uphill struggle.Across the Atlantic, a different kind of existential crisis unfolds. Robert Jenrick, already measuring the curtains for Tory leadership, hints at a tactical realignment between the Conservative Party and Reform UK. Cory Bernard and Steve O'Neill dissect the fine line between electoral pragmatism and political self-destruction. They warn that while Britain's political history favours the Conservative Party's survival, wealth inequality and voter volatility could easily tear up the rulebook. Roy Field, clearly unimpressed by complacency, reminds everyone that assuming Britain's institutions are immune to collapse is dangerously naive.The panel closes with a lighter moment: each guest picks a hometown hero worthy of a street name. Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, and Clement Attlee are among the choices, though Steve O'Neill's initial bid for "Roger Federer Street" suggests some people should stay away from naming contests. Throughout the episode, the tone is bracing: whether it's executive overreach in the U.S. or far-right drift in the U.K., democracy's defenders will need a lot more than nostalgia and wishful thinking to hold the line.5 Selected Quotes:“I think what we're seeing is a stiffening of the spine and a bigger commitment to holding up our institutions.” — Denise Hamilton“It's not left versus right anymore — it's institutions versus chaos.” — Roifield Brown“You can't rationalize with people who aren't working with the same facts.” — Mike Donahue“Britain's political history doesn't guarantee immunity from collapse.” — Roifield Brown“One street at a time, we still get to choose who we celebrate.” — Denise Hamilton Hosted on Acast.

Government websites have erased references to American heroes like Harriet Tubman and Jackie Robinson in order to comply with Trump's anti-DEI push. But America is no stranger to revisionist history.

In today's show, we cover Man Of The Library and Brett Fiensod's boxing match, Jackie Robinson's parlay boosts, whale-sized bets and much more.

I read Farah Stockman's article in the NYT on why attacks on DEI will cost us all, and thought, “Yes, and ‘everyone' includes harm to our healthcare workforce, our patients, and their families.” So we're delighted that Farah Stockman, pulitzer prize winning journalist, author of American Made: What Happens to People When Work Disappears, and editorial board member at the New York TImes joins us to set the bigger picture for this discussion.  Farah provides clear examples from the Biden administration, in which having the most diverse cabinet in history was critical to building bridges, empathy, and inspiring others to feel included. We are also pleased to welcome Ali Thomas, a hospitalist, member of the Baha'i Faith, leader of anti-racism efforts in the Pacific Northwest, and founder of the BIPOC Health Careers Ecosystem.  Ali talks about the history of affirmative action, which started as a program for Whites, the importance of diversity in the healthcare workforce, the history of allyship and cross cultural collaboration, and his own efforts to provide opportunity and support for historically oppressed groups in his own community to obtain healthcare careers. And Ken Covinsky, avid baseball fanatic, joins us and notes that the day we record (April 15) is Jackie Robinson day.  Many may be familiar with the story of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in major league baseball in 1947, but may not be aware of the tremendous adversity Jackie Robinson faced, and persistence he displayed, off the field. We address many things, including: The movement in Corporate America and institutes of higher education to implement DEI programming in the wake of George Floyd The general agreement in America of the value of diversity, and disagreement, unpopularity, and backlash about DEI as it was implemented How the pursuit of diversity and excellence are not in tension, they are aligned and necessary for each other What we can do to build bridges across differences There was so much we hoped to talk about and didn't get to, but I will link to now, including: Ali's mom's personal history with and study of school desegregation in South Carolina, Farah's mom's pioneering work as a speech language pathologist, and Ken's perspectives on the importance of studying ageism and racism in research. What a Wonderful World could be sung in irony at this moment.  I hope we all take it literally, with the hope this podcast ends with. -Alex Smith

VIDEO VERSION HERE https://youtube.com/live/nZxg1P8JU7E?feature=share Opie and the crew at Get Farts unleash a chaotic, laugh-filled episode packed with rock 'n' roll debates, bizarre NYC tales, and unfiltered banter. They riff on the best Led Zeppelin album, a turkey named Astoria roaming Midtown, and Katy Perry’s questionable "penis rocket" space trip. The hilarity escalates with a Central Park bathroom emergency busted by a cop, a shady church tax scam, and a Thai New Year water fight. Things get wilder with claims of Jim Morrison living as a maintenance worker in Syracuse, Bob Ross’s drill instructor past, and Katy Perry as a shape-shifting reptilian. JQ’s divorce bombshell sparks talk of dating apps and mama’s boys, while parallel parking play-by-plays and a nod to Jackie Robinson keep it real. This is Opie Radio at its most unhinged and hilarious!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our country is finally moving in a better direction. Men are no longer allowed to compete in women's sports, illegal aliens aren't being escorted across our borders, and truth isn't being censored. However, despite all this progress, ESPN still insists on pushing DEI. Jason and Steve Kim react to Mina Kimes' attempt to revive the DEI “woke mind virus” after it was revealed that the Department of Defense briefly removed a Jackie Robinson info page from its website. Although the page was quickly reinstated, leftists couldn't resist the opportunity to complain about the current trajectory of our nation. In other news, Mel Kiper believes Shedeur Sanders is a better NFL quarterback prospect than projected No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward. Just because Shedeur has spent his life in the spotlight due to his father, does that mean he'll transition to the NFL more smoothly?

Could we be witnessing a peace treaty between Coach Prime and Whitlock? Meanwhile, time may be running out for Aaron Rodgers to play in the NFL again, as Minnesota announces the Vikings will pass on the “Enigma” sweepstakes, leaving just the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers as potential destinations. Could Rodgers' hesitation be a sign that retirement is on the horizon? Over in the basketball world, Magic Johnson calls out this generation of NBA players, claiming that the love of the game has disappeared.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 111: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: The White Supremacist Trash Trump Administration thought it had gotten away with memory-holing Baseball immortal and Civil Rights immortal Jackie Robinson. They eliminated the Pentagon web page honoring Jackie's service during WWII and re-directed you to a URL reading "DEI SPORTS." They thought they had gotten away with it so much that a Pentagon spokesman named John Ullyot boasted loudly about eliminating the DEI Robinson represented (and the Navajo Code Talkers and that one Native American at Iwo Jima and the Tuskegee Airmen). And then when all hell broke loose, within 90 minutes they actually backed off and restored the page - and made it MORE racist, insisting that they would only honor Robinson as an ex-serviceman, not as a man who may have saved this country from becoming then, what Trump is trying to make it into now. And for all the reversals, one other company's website associated with Jackie Robinson DID scrub any references to "DEI" from its mission statement and has not responded to the Robinson blowback. The other company is of course... Major League Baseball. This is hardly the most important of the daily parade of Trump Atrocities. It may, however, may the most symbolic. B-Block (23:40) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: A podcaster insists what's happening to Tesla is "worse than January 6." Life comes at you fast: Friday, Minnesota State Senator Justin Eichorn introduced a bill to make "Trump Derangement Syndrome" an actual legal thing there. Monday he was being arrested for trying to pay a 17-year old for sex. And why did Jake Tapper drink another pitcher of Kool-Aid and call it "The Gulf of America"? Well there are some people who become their salaries, nothing more. C-Block (43:00) GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK:See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
