The future is now. Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with three up-and-coming female racers who are already making names for themselves on the grassroots level. Lanie Buice, Jade Avedisian, and Isabella Robusto sit down with Dale Jr. to share their stories and make it known that their names are ones to remember.First, Dale Jr. sits down with CARS Tour driver Lanie Buice. Buice is a first-generation talent who shares what kinds of challenges come with breaking into the racing scene. Dale became easily impressed by Lanie's speed after racing against her at Florence and was taken aback by her ability to go out and make lap time. The stage is never too big for Buice, and she will be one to watch in the coming years as she continues to hone in on her abilities.  Next, Dale Jr. welcomed in dirt and asphalt racer Jade Avedisian. At the young age of 18, Jade has already made appearances in the Tulsa Shootout, Chili Bowl, and the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Tour, where she won the national championship. Dale made note of Jade's impressive tenacity and confidence she shows on any given weekend, and learns more about where she gets those abilities from. Avedisian also opened up about her return from a concussion and how she made the decision to step out of the car to focus on her recovery. If you weren't a fan before, you will be now.  Finally, Dale chats with ARCA driver Isabella Robusto. She and her twin brother grew up racing each other, both rising through the ranks as young race car drivers. Isabella caught her first big break when she entered the Drive For Diversity Program, which propelled her to a deal with Toyota Racing Development. She discusses having to step out of the car for 10 months for recovery from a concussion and explains why that time away from the car only reaffirmed her passion to drive race cars. Dale also provides her with advice ahead of her debut at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend. She is wicked fast on the track and is only getting better with every lap she runs.  Dirty Mo Media is launching a new e-commerce merch line!

In the final installment of our (Hurricane) Leah McSweeney legal breakdown, we unpack what the judge ultimately decided in her case. We walk through which claims were dismissed—including those related to gender and religion discrimination and hostile work environment—and which are moving forward. We also dig into the court's analysis of disability discrimination, failure to accommodate, retaliation, and that infamous letter from Andy Cohen. Plus, how the First Amendment continues to serve as a powerful shield for reality TV—especially in this case.      What's on the docket?   A deep dive into how the court responded to each of Leah's claims   How First Amendment protections shield Bravo's casting decisions   Which claims were tossed—and which ones are moving forward   Why the judge says Andy Cohen's infamous letter doesn't qualify as retaliation   Why Leah's RICO claim didn't hold up   Where the case stands now—and Leah's latest move to amend her complaint    Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠⁠⁠⁠          The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! The Lebold Mansion in Abilene, Kansas, was built on the very grounds where Abilene's founders, Tim and Eliza Hersey, built their stone dugout in 1857. The Hersey dugout, ingeniously incorporated into the mansion's tower, offers a glimpse into the humble beginnings of this historic site. The mansion was built in 1880 for banker Conrad Lebold and its halls have witnessed a whirlwind of fortune and misfortune. From Lebold's bankruptcy in 1889 to a revolving door of owners facing financial ruin, this mansion seemed cursed by a cycle of abandonment and decay. Today, the mansion continues to captivate visitors with its rich and unique architecture. Owner Joseph Tatner ensures there's always something intriguing happening within its walls.

Send us a textThe frontier settlement of Dodge City earned its nickname "Bibulous Babylon" honestly in 1873. With no formal law enforcement and a population explosion of buffalo hunters and railroad workers, violence flourished—15 to 30 people died violently that first year alone. Boot Hill Cemetery filled quickly with those who "died with their boots on."Enter Billy Brooks, a man whose reputation preceded him. Already known as "Bully Brooks," he'd been a buffalo hunter, stagecoach driver renowned for delivering mail through flooded creeks, and briefly served as Newton's city marshal where he'd been shot three times yet still chased his attackers for miles. When concerned Dodge City businessmen needed someone to impose order without official backing, Brooks seemed the perfect solution—a man whose mere presence might deter troublemakers.Legend claims Brooks engaged in a staggering 15 gunfights during his brief tenure, reportedly killing seven or eight men. But when we examine the historical record closely, a different picture emerges. Most of these alleged confrontations lack names, dates, or any primary documentation. What we can verify are just two significant incidents: shooting railroad yardmaster Brownie through the head (who surprisingly survived) and more tellingly, backing down from Kirk Jordan in a public confrontation that shattered his fearsome image. After hiding under a bed until nightfall, Brooks left town, his effectiveness as a lawman permanently compromised.His life spiraled downward from there—returning to stagecoach driving before losing his job, then turning to horse theft, which led to his arrest and eventual lynching by vigilantes in 1874. Brooks' story perfectly encapsulates the contradictions of frontier justice: hired to impose order through intimidation, he ultimately fell victim to the same extra-legal violence he represented.What does our fascination with figures like Brooks reveal about our relationship with the American frontier? Why do we cling to the 15 gunfights legend despite limited evidence? Join us as we separate Wild West myth from documented reality, and consider what stories like his tell us about ourselves.Ready to explore more frontier tales?

Send us a textStep back in time to the vast, untamed expanse of 1867 Kansas, where the nearest neighbor might be half a day's ride away and survival demanded extraordinary grit. Through the eyes of Civil War veteran Elias Thorne, we uncover the raw, unfiltered reality of frontier life that exists beyond the romantic myths and simplified histories.The Kansas prairie tested human endurance to its limits. From carving homes literally from the earth—the legendary "soddy" with its mud-dripping ceilings and unwelcome snake visitors—to the backbreaking labor of breaking virgin prairie soil with primitive tools, nothing came easy. We explore how settlers like Elias faced relentless environmental challenges: howling blizzards that imprisoned homesteaders for days, devastating prairie fires that could destroy everything in minutes, and the constant psychological weight of profound isolation.What makes this journey particularly compelling is witnessing how Thorne's personal struggle unfolded against the backdrop of momentous historical shifts. The Kansas Pacific Railway pushed westward, forever altering the landscape. The Medicine Lodge Treaty negotiations attempted to reshape relationships with Plains tribes like the Cheyenne and Comanche, whose entire way of life faced existential threat. These weren't distant headlines for frontier settlers but immediate realities that shaped their daily existence.The heart of this story isn't about conquest or heroics, but about quiet endurance—the day-by-day perseverance required to transform "free land" into a sustainable home through ingenious adaptation and stubborn determination. Whether it's rationing dwindling firewood during a multi-day blizzard or carefully preserving every scrap of food for the lean months ahead, we witness the extraordinary resourcefulness that frontier survival demanded.What modern frontiers do we face today that require similar resilience? Where do we need that same adaptability and grit in our own lives? Join us for this immersive journey into America's past that reveals timeless truths about human endurance against seemingly impossible odds.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

Send us a textGet ready to saddle up and dive into the Wild West like never before! Introducing the dynamic duo, Sam Bass and Calamity Jane, your thrilling new hosts for the extended content of the Wild West Podcast. Adventure awaits as they bring the legendary tales of the frontier to life! A dust highway stretching across the plains moved six million cattle and reshaped America forever. The Western Cattle Trail emerged from economic necessity after the Civil War, when Texas found its millions of longhorns worth pennies locally but commanding up to $40 per head in northern markets. This price gap launched an unprecedented economic engine that would fundamentally alter the American West.Following the path blazed by John T. Lytle in 1874, the trail stretched from the Texas Hill Country through Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), into Kansas and Nebraska, eventually reaching Montana, Wyoming, and even Canada. For two decades, this corridor moved more livestock than all other cattle trails combined, becoming the literal lifeblood of the western economy.The reality of trail life stripped away romantic notions of cowboy existence. Young men—a diverse mix of Southern whites, freed slaves, and Mexican vaqueros—endured brutal conditions for $30 monthly wages. They faced constant dangers: stampedes triggered by lightning storms, treacherous river crossings, and complex negotiations with Native American tribes whose lands they crossed. Upon reaching destinations like Dodge City—"the wickedest little city in America"—these trail-weary cowboys created an economic ecosystem catering specifically to their needs and desires.Beyond moving cattle, the trail catalyzed transformative development across multiple industries. Railroads expanded to service the cattle trade. Meatpacking centers in Chicago and Kansas City exploded with growth. The trail established America's dominance in beef production while fundamentally changing the nation's diet. Though the era ended in the 1890s—ironically made obsolete by the very development it created through barbed wire, expanding railroads, and changing consumer preferences—its legacy pervades American culture and economy today.What seemingly simplistic economic corridors might be reshaping our world right now, their impacts not yet fully visible? Listen as we explore the remarkable story of how moving cows across the plains built modern America.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

L'únic que es pot aconseguir, amb una sentència ferma d'enderroc sobre la taula, és una moratòria per a que s'executi l'enderroc passada la temporada d'estiu, però poques esperances hi ha que es tingui en compte aquesta demanda. El passat 8 de maig el govern municipal fou informat de la demolició immediata de les instal·lacions del Club i de la piscina Maria Teresa. Aleshores, el govern demanà que, com a mínim, es deixés un marge de maniobra, i el marge de maniobra assenyala una nova data a partir del dilluns, 2 de juny. En conseqüència, si res no canvia, durant els primers dies de juny s'enderrocarà el Club de Mar i la piscina. Ningú no sap què passarà a partir d'aleshores, perquè tampoc el Ministeri ha donat a conèixer quin projecte té per a la zona. El que si s'ha anunciat és que, amb tota probabilitat, Kansas i Pic-Nic seran els següents equipaments que patiran l'enderroc. L'alcaldessa n'ha explicat els detalls. L'entrada Si res no ho impedeix, el Club de Mar i la piscina Maria Teresa seran enderrocats la primera quinzena de juny en compliment d’una sentència judicial. L’alcaldessa ho explica. ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Dennis Rader, the self-proclaimed "BTK" killer—short for "Bind, Torture, Kill"—terrified Wichita and Park City, Kansas, for nearly two decades. But behind the mask of a monstrous mastermind was a man whose crimes were riddled with laughable mistakes, sloppy execution, and a bizarre craving for attention. In this episode, we dismantle the myth of BTK as a criminal genius and reveal the truth: Dennis Rader wasn't brilliant—he was a bungler.

Through historical deep dives and a healthy dose of skepticism, Tony uncovers the truth behind the whispers. From media-fueled hysteria to real encounters that defy easy explanation, join us as we uncover why Stull Cemetery's legend refuses to die.

Real strength shows up when life knocks you down and you choose to rise with gratitude, faith, and community. Dr. Douglas Burton shares how a life-altering diagnosis transformed not just his health journey, but his entire perspective on what it means to truly live well. From the operating room to the other side of the patient experience, he opens his heart about the emotional weight of caregiving, the spiritual awakening that came through illness, and the small, intentional shifts that have brought him greater peace than ever before. His story is a powerful reminder that joy is not found in doing more—it's found in slowing down, showing up, and surrounding yourself with love. Key Takeaways: Slowing down and creating space for joy can be more healing than constant striving. Practicing daily gratitude builds emotional resilience and a deeper sense of peace. Community support is a critical part of mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Faith and surrender can bring clarity and calm when facing uncertainty or illness. True healing isn't just physical—it's also spiritual, relational, and deeply personal.   About Dr. Douglas Burton: Douglas Burton, M.D. is the Marc and Elinor Asher Spine Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center. He received his undergraduate degree from Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS and his MD from the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, TX.

In 2003 he was awarded the Marc and Elinor Asher Spine Professorship. Dr. Burton's clinical practice is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of complex spinal disorders in both pediatric and adult patients. In addition to his primary practice location at the University of Kansas Hospital, he also travels to both Hutchinson and Salina, KS for a monthly outreach clinic to provide health care to patients in rural parts of Kansas. He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Orthopaedic Association, the Interurban Orthopaedic Society, the North American Spine Society and the Scoliosis Research Society, where he is the incoming Chair-Elect of the Research Council and member of the Board of Directors. He served as President of the Federation of Spine Associations from 2018 to 2019. In 2019, The American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons announced a new partnership, the American Spine Registry (ASR), which will be jointly owned and developed by both organizations. Dr. Burton currently serves as co-chair of the Data Use Committee for the ASR. His research interests include the development of disease specific health related quality of life instruments and the study of complications and outcomes associated with spinal deformity surgery. He has authored or co-authored over 236 peer reviewed publications and serves as a Deputy Editor of Spine Deformity, the official journal of the Scoliosis Research Society. In 2006 he helped found and remains on the Executive Council of the International Spine Study Group.

Rowdy Dragon has your Fantasy NASCAR Kansas Speedway Recap as we head into the non-points paying All Star Race Weekend.

When Tom Knisely decided to buy his first item in an antique shop, he had two strokes of luck: the spinning wheel that he chose included all the parts needed to make yarn, and he lived not far from the landmark weaving store The Mannings. There, he learned to spin and eventually to weave. Enamored with the crafts, he got a job at the store there as a teenager and eventually built a career there over 37 years. That love of antiques led Tom to accumulate a collection of historic coverlets and rag rugs, along with knowledge about the old techniques used to make such durable textiles. Students often turn to Tom to learn such traditional skills as rag-rug weaving, working with linen from plant to fabric, and weaving with counterbalance looms. Through these antique rugs and coverlets, he traces the legacy of the weavers before him—those who pursued a life in weaving centuries ago. His nine books and ten videos explore contemporary and historic techniques, structures, and tools. As much as his knowledge, Tom's patience, enthusiasm, and warmth draw students to his classes. Named Handwoven Teacher of the Year, he loves helping students—from children who watch his living history demonstrations to dedicated weavers—develop their skills and love of spinning and weaving. His longest-lasting teaching relationship has been with Sara C. Bixler, one of his daughters, who took up the mantle to become a weaving teacher and designer herself. “I think we have an obligation to get out there and promote what we do,” he says. “You'd be surprised how much it means to other people to see this. But I guarantee you, you'll come home with stories that are far greater than what you have put out. It's a real reward.” Links Read about bumper looms in “Never Say Never” (Little Looms Spring 2025 (https://shop.longthreadmedia.com/products/easy-weaving-with-little-looms-spring-2025)) and “Never Say Never Again” (Little Looms Summer 2025 (https://shop.longthreadmedia.com/products/easy-weaving-with-little-looms-summer-2025).

   My apologies in advance as I absolutely lose my mind over the once great Bruce Springsteen for turning his concert in England into a bash America revival.... before he plays a single note.  It's literally how he kicked off his tour and I'm really, really mad.    We'll turn it into a Fun Friday as the Royals celebrate their World Series' wins this weekend.      The House Speaker in Kansas says they are two weeks away from announcing they have approved STAR bond contracts with the Royals and the Chiefs.  What exactly does that mean?    Missouri sports betting is set to begin December 1 which is a total embarrassment.  What's wrong with September 1?    And our Song of the Week reminds us of something Springsteen would have done.  It's by The Killers and it's words are haunting about a real problem in small town America that only Donald Trump can solve.   And everyone knows it.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sets out to learn more about the world of motorcycle racing as he sits down with championship rider Aaron Plessinger. He recounts his worst injuries, biggest struggles and greatest accomplishments in the Dirty Mo Media Studio. Regarded as a fan favorite on the AMA Supercross and Motocross circuits, Aaron grew up around the sport thanks to his father Scott, who was a champion off-road motorcyclist himself. Aaron explains that he followed in his father's footsteps into the off-road world in the Grand National Cross Country Series, but ended up giving motocross a serious try and found a knack for it. He would get noticed during an event at Loretta Lynn's Ranch and sign a deal with a factory Yamaha team, Star Racing.Dale and Aaron discuss the different forms of motorcycle racing and how prevalent injuries are in the sport. Aaron explains that racers rarely complete the entire season due to the likelihood of getting hurt, and he shares stories of some of the attrition he's faced over the years. The guys also chat about the training motocross racers go through and how bike setup and crew chiefs make a difference in the sport. Dale asks Aaron about the difference between good and great riders, to which he explains that confidence and mental toughness plays a major role in racing success. They relate over the pressure that professional racers face and methods they've used to overcome nervousness while competing. Finally, the guys chat about Aaron's move to the Red Bull KTM team, his admiration of Dale Earnhardt Sr. and navigating fatherhood. Dirty Mo Media is launching a new e-commerce merch line!
