Part Deux with Jesse “Sports Boi” Gibson, where Jesse and I finally get to TCG Nonsense, particularly Pokemon. I would write more for the show notes here, but I am really behind with packing for The National!
Jesse Rhodes Gibson, the better half of the duo that makes up the Sports Cards Nonsense (on Instagram @sports_cards_nonsense) comes by the podcast studio mainly to talk about how he beat Taylor Swift in a Battle of the Bands competition in high school. Jesse then graciously allows me to do his annual performance review by playing the part of Bill Simmons. Jesse provides the origin story for Sports Cards Nonsense and how it all started and how they got with the Ringer Network. We talk about why it's important to him and Mike as to why they like to keep their content clean and family friendly. We then pivot to talking about Hobby Positivity vs. Hobby Negativity and reporting on news in The Hobby. We then end the first half with talking about imposter syndrome. Enjoy! - Denny YouTube link to Part I: https://youtu.be/nuMPMsqHjVI

Our guest today on the show is Mr. Jesse Rhodes. He lives life on his terms, just like we talk about on this show. He is an avid traveler who works a 9-5 job at Amazon. To top that off, Jesse is a business owner who recently purchased a restaurant in Seattle named POCO in the early months of this year. He is also a conversationalist, a moderator, a keynote speaker, and a personal career coach. He does all these seamlessly, which is why we are speaking to him today, where we will talk about how he's made all these achievements possible and can still live life as a vacay. #Living on purpose #Leisure life #Vacation #Dreams come true #Unconventional career. In this episode, you'll learn about the following: (01:36) How Jesse combines his 9-5, running his restaurant business and traveling. (08:04) Jesse details how he stays committed to his work while multitasking. (13:35) Being flexible and able to pivot when things don't fit the way you envisioned them. (18:27) Talks about his restaurant: how he got it, its make-up, and his plans for the business. (22:44) The reason for acquiring the business even that he spends a lot of time traveling. (27:11) Why he's still keeping his 9-5 job at Amazon despite having all these things going for him? And why the job at Amazon is necessary to fuel his travel lifestyle because they embrace his mobility which is a part of who he is, unlike his previous jobs. (35:21) Three tactical things people should do to be able to keep their 9-5 jobs and also live the life that they desire. Notable Quotes: 1. (02:11) "Having a clear vision, clear plan, clear execution, and bringing others in on the journey helps makes travel and things possible." 2. (08:27) "Every day, I feel gratitude, and I don't take it for granted. And I live like that like every breath is a gift. What I choose to do with it now is so important." 3. (09:10) "We got the how part; it's the why. Where is your purpose?… It makes it easier." Jesse says when explaining how he manages all his endeavors. 4. (36:18) "You don't have to figure out on your own…Read up." 5. (37:16) "Set your intentions loosely, so that you don't feel like you failed if you don't complete it…but make sure it's specific, measurable, actionable and time-bound." He also recommended reading the book, "The Power of Now."

On this Episode of Wrench Jockey Radio, Logan and Dakota sit down and shoot the shit with their friends Jesse Rhodes, and Ron Maple. Having a few drinks, and sharing stories and experiences we also hear from Ron, about what's going on over at the Merica TV complex, and hear from Jesse about some of his home state relatives from By God West Virginia. Merry Christmas to all who listen near and far, and have a safe happy holiday.
In the aftermath of the insurrection of January 6th 2021, it appeared for a moment that Donald Trump's effort to cast the 2020 election as illegitimate and to overturn the results of that election had come to an end. While 140 Republican members of Congress did vote to overturn the results – literally in the midst of the damage around them in the capitol – Republican leaders ultimately expressed acceptance of the election and a rejection of the insurrection. It seemed like there was a chance that this was an issue that Americans might generally come together on. But in the year since, the opposite has happened. Americans attitudes about that day and everything that led up to it shifted almost immediately, and fell into familiar partisan patterns, yet shocking in the face of the violence that day and the revelations about it since then. And in the past two weeks leading up to the anniversary of the insurrection, a number of polls have returned with alarming results about how Americans view the last election and the violence at the Capitol. One of the best of these polls comes from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The associate director of that poll is Jesse Rhodes. He's a Professor of Political Science, author of three books and numerous scholarly articles, and he's here to tell us all about his findings.
On this episode of Focus, Harry explores the history of American education and considers some crucial lessons for today's debates over critical race theory. -- Further Reading: An Education in Politics, by Jesse Rhodes. This is a nice history of education policy in the second half of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first, very much an academic text but a useful one nonetheless. I drew on Rhodes' analysis of how institutional fragmentation produced disparate outcomes among different groups for my own argument.Critical Race Theory: An Introduction, by Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic. There's a lot of polemicism and misinformation being spread right now about Critical Race Theory, so I picked this introductory text by one of its founding theorists, Richard Delgado, to get a better sense of what CRT really has to say about race in America.Intelligently Designed: How Creationists Built the Campaign Against Evolution, by Edward Caudill. This is a well-written, well-researched, and easy-to-read book on the history of battles over the teaching of evolution in schools in the United States. I used it for my discussion of the Scopes trial.“Schooling the State: ESEA and the Evolution of the U.S. Department of Education,” by Patrick McGuinn. This article is a useful reference point for understanding some of the history of education policy in the United States, particularly the federal government's role.“The Struggle Over Public Education in Early America,” by Amy Smekar, David A. Moss, and Gregory DiBella, in Democracy: A Case Study, by David A. Moss. Moss wrote this remarkably accessible text in 2017, which utilizes the Harvard Business School's case study method for analyzing American democracy. I drew on it for the historical information on education in the early republic.
National politics gets all the attention, but many important decisions--from police reform to housing development to tackling inequality--are made by local governments. Which voices are heard in local decision-making? Jesse Rhodes finds that local elected officials are ideologically much closer to White residents in their communities than Black or Latino residents and more conservative than the people they represent. Sarah Anzia finds that organized groups like police unions and local chambers of commerce influence local policy across the board. They both say that local policy choices follow the loudest voices of the repeat participators.
Voting rights are always in the news in American politics, and recent court decisions and an upcoming election in 2018 make this especially true today. Most discussions come back to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and whether it will continue to provide the voting rights protections it has in the past. In Ballot Blocked: The Political Erosion of the Voting Rights Act (Stanford University Press, 2017), Jesse Rhodes, associate professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, places the VRA into a political context. He aims to figure out the political puzzle of the VRA: Why, for fifty years, have both Democrats and Republicans in Congress consistently voted to expand the protections offered by the VRA, yet the act remains vulnerable? Why have Republicans consistently adopted administrative and judicial decisions that undermine legislation they repeatedly back? Rhodes argues that conservatives have pursued a paradoxical strategy which takes advantage of high and low salience. The conservative strategy, according to Rhodes, is to accept expansive voting rights protections in highly visible votes in Congress while simultaneously narrowing the scope of federal enforcement in low visibility administrative and judicial maneuvers.

When was the last time you cried? How about the last time you cried in front of someone else? Most of us have mixed experiences with crying - whether it's our own tears or seeing them in someone else. And a lot of this is impacted by gender norms and expectations. In this episode we bring back Jesse Rhodes, host of the podcast Man-ish, to share his latest two-part series about crying in politics. Part one tells the story of Edmond Muskie, a 1972 Democratic presidential candidate, who's public tears were so fatal to his campaign "The Muskie Rule" was created to reflect how detrimental it is for politicians to cry. Part two, "Muskie Today", questions this rule by diving into some more recent examples of political tears. The "Muskie Rule" and "Muskie Today" were written and produced by Jesse Rhodes. Learn more about Man-ish by visiting www.man-ish.weebly.com. Special thanks to The Edmund S. Muskie Archives and Special Collections Library, John Milne, Jim Witherall, Emily Palena, Brandon Pascal, Shoshana Walter, and Ryan Neville-Shepard.

Over the last several months, I’ve had the pleasure to have a number of political scientists who study education policy on the podcast. Jesse Rhodes, Jeff Henig, and Sarah Reckhow have brought their new books that have focused mainly on the K-12 education system. Andrew Karch offers something different. Karch has written Early Start: Preschool Politics in the United States (University of Michigan Press, 2013), a deep narrative history and assessment of the policy development behind early childhood education policy. Karch is associate professor of political science at the University of Minnesota and has focused much of his research agenda on state policy and federalism. In his new book, he weaves together theories from the study of public policy with an intricate story of early childhood education. The tactical lessons advocates could learn from this book make it a must-read inside and outside of the academy. Ideas like venue shopping and coalition building animate many of the critical junctures studied in the book. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jeffrey Henig is the author of The End of Exceptionalism in American Education: The Changing Politics of School Reform (Harvard Education Press, 2013). Henig is Professor of Political Science and Education at Teacher’s College and Professor of Political Science at Columbia University. In his book, he explains that much scholarship and commentary on school reform has been segmented and sporadic, overly focused on particular reforms, and thereby unable to fully explain the larger arcs of reforms overtime. The thesis of the book is that the shift from education governance based in single-sector institutions, such as elected school boards, to broad-based institutions, such as mayor controlled school systems, has not received the attention it deserves. In this way, the book fits neatly with previous books featured here by Jesse Rhodes and Sarah Reckhow. Henig goes about unpacking this change, the winners and losers, and the possible direction of future school reform. The book is deeply rooted in the political science literature, but also speaks to issues of public management, education policy, and social movements. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jesse Rhodes‘ book An Education in Politics: The Origin and Evolution of No Child Left Behind (Cornell University Press, 2012). The book synthesizes nearly forty years of US political history. It tells the story of the development and passage of the No Child Left Behind law by George W. Bush. The book builds on political science theories of political entrepreneurship, institutionalism, and incrementalism to narrate the debate about education reform. Rhodes captures the people, the organizations, and the institutions that have defined education policy since the 1980s. The book is accessible, thorough, and a must read for scholars of education politics and policy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
