H1-S2 full 00:15 I tell you what, I've been watching these polls for the governor's race and they're everywhere. I mean, these polls, you're like, and I'll give you a perfect example here. Hold on just a second. If you take a look at this and you go to interactive polls, insider polling has Pamela Ebbett at 19%, Alan Wilson 16%, Nancy Mase 13%, Rom Reddy 13%, 00:44 Ralph Norman 12%, they still include Josh Kimball coming in at 4 % rather. Then, so remember that, just real quick, Pamela Evans got leading the pack with 19%. And then if you go down and you look at some of these other polls, I mean, you go, wait a minute, is this even the same state? So here you've got another poll with Alan Wilson. 01:10 22%, Pamela Evitt at 17%, Ram Reddy 16%, Ralph Norman at 12, Nancy Mace at 12. That's from opinion diagnostics. Then you go to TPSI. They've got Nancy Mace at 31%. Pamela Vett at 26%, Ram Reddy 16%, Ralph Norman at 14, Alan Wilson at 13. I'm telling you what, and then, all right, here's another one. This is from... 01:40 Coefficient poll, the June 2nd through the 4th, Pamela Evitt, 23%, Rom Reddy, 17%, Alan Wilson, 16%, Ralph Norman, 15%, Nancy Mace, 11%. These things are scattered. mean, are y'all polling the same state people? But here's the thing you gotta be very careful about with these polls. Who 02:09 Are they polling? 02:12 Are they polling the general population? Is it just, hey, hey, Mr. and Mrs. So-and-so, who are you voting for? Are they voting, are they polling those people? Are they polling only Republicans? Then you have to take it and narrow it down a little bit. You have to go, are they polling Republican likely voters? 02:37 Not all the Republicans are going to vote today. We're going to see what the voter turnout. I'm predicting I'm going to be very gracious here. I'm going to be um very gracious, very generous with my prediction. 02:54 I'm gonna say 17%. I know, right? I'm thinking 17%. We'll see if I'm right on this. We'll see if I'm right on this, but I'm gonna say 17 % voter turnout. Are they polling like, oh, is, John said, it's raining out, you're right. Oh, yeah, I care about this state, but I don't wanna get wet. I just don't wanna get out there, I know, it happens. That's why I always say, I mean, early voting was a good idea for us. 03:22 But I'm going to say 17 % voter turnout. I might be wrong, but you poll general population, you poll Republican voters if they're Republican candidates, and then you poll likely Republican voters to narrow it down even more. And I'll be honest with you, I haven't dug into these polls um all of that much because a lot of them just came out just over the past couple of days. uh little issue. 03:53 little issue with the Pamela Yvette campaign. is minor, minor little incident of assault. I know, know, it's crazy, right? didn't, nothing really to see here. A man who the Pamela Yvette campaign says was a volunteer for the campaign was charged with assault outside of an Yvette campaign event ah on Monday night. This is according to a police report. 04:24 According to a police report, Greer Police Department incident report that Blake Garrison Kirsch, I think that's how you pronounce it, Kirsch, 27 years old, is charged with third degree assault and battery. Third degree assault and battery. I'm telling you what, this is crazy. Now we got, listen, it happened Monday night. Happened Monday night. Now this is from FitzNews. 04:54 A member of South Carolina gubernatorial front runner Pam Levitt's campaign finance team was arrested in Greer on Monday night and charged with assault after ripping a megaphone out of the hands of a political opponent. Blake Kirsch, 27, a realtor from Boiling Springs, was charged by officers of the Greer Police Department with third degree assault on batters. 05:18 That's according to an incident report. Kurtz ripped the megaphone out of the victim's hands. Kurtz then ran up. um 05:29 I guess this is the victim talking.

A regionals-Sunday BDH that lands on one of the cleanest hitter-evaluation frameworks Trevor's laid out on the pod.The cold open: an insider defense of Tre Phelps after his celebration set off the old-school crowd. Trevor went down to Athens, spent 45 minutes with him off camera, and is on the record about who Tre actually is. Then West Virginia + Steve Sabins make their first program-history trip to Omaha — Sabins is the No. 1 head coach Trevor would hire if he were running a Power Four program right now.The middle of the show is Cristopher Sanchez's historic May — 50.2 scoreless innings, near-Hershiser territory, dominant with three pitches in a six-pitch era. Then Cleveland's offensive rookie crop (Bazzana, DeLauder, the broader call-up class) and why young hitters are debuting more "ready" than they've ever been.The back half is the keeper: the hitter data that actually predicts who plays at the top. Three numbers — contact rate, in-zone swing decisions, and exit velocity — and the rule that you need at least two of three at an elite level. The Kurtz-vs-Caglianone comparison shows how raw athleticism can carry you through college and the minors but flips on you at the top if you don't check the boxes.Topics covered:The Tre Phelps celebration and an insider defense of his actual character (30 minutes early, asking questions, no entitlement)Why Coach Wes Johnson + the Georgia community see Tre the way Trevor does after meeting himWest Virginia + Steve Sabins's first-ever trip to Omaha, and why Sabins is the No. 1 head coach Trevor would hireCristopher Sanchez's historic May — 15.2 scoreless, near Hershiser, dominance with three pitchesThe Sanchez sinker + change-up tandem and how a 6'6" lefty "makes the plate bigger"60% ground ball rate + elite swing-and-miss = a wild card threat with Wheeler behind himThe offensive rookie crop — Bazzana, DeLauder, JJ Wetherholt, Cole Emerson — and why they're coming up readier than everThe ABS zone + modern training resources as the reason young hitters debut as closer-to-finished productsThe hitter evaluation framework — contact rate, in-zone swing decisions, exit velocityThe 2024 draft test: every box-checker is in the big leagues right now (except Charlie Condon)The Kurtz-vs-Caglianone comparison — out-athleting the level vs checking the boxesWhy bad-ball-hitter power doesn't translate to the topWhy the floor of a roster spot is built on contact + zone control, not slugWhy this matters:The slash line is still the way most casual coverage talks about hitters. Inside the actual front offices, the conversation lives in barrel, contact, chase, and exit velocity — and the rule that you need at least two of three at elite to play at the top. This episode is the cleanest framework Trevor's broken down on the pod, with the 2024 draft as the working proof. 00:00 Intro · First Scorcher of Summer 02:00 The Tre Phelps Celebration · Insider Defense 13:30 Steve Sabins + West Virginia to Omaha 19:00 Cristopher Sanchez's Historic May 26:00 Three Pitches in a Six-Pitch Era 33:00 Sanchez + Wheeler · The Wild Card Threat 38:00 The Rookie Crop · Why Hitters Come Up Ready 44:00 The Hitter Evaluation Framework 50:00 Kurtz vs Caglianone · The Athlete vs The Box-Checker 58:00 The 2024 Draft Test · Box-Checkers Already in the Bigs 1:03:00 Why the Floor Wins Lineups

Can a simple idea create an entirely new product category? Mike Kurtz, Founder of Mike's Hot Honey, shares the story behind transforming a homemade honey and chili pepper infusion into one of the most recognizable brands in the condiment aisle.

He discusses the power of word-of-mouth marketing, building an authentic brand, fostering customer advocacy, and scaling a business while staying connected to its roots. The conversation explores category creation, strategic partnerships, product innovation, and why community remains one of the strongest competitive advantages a brand can have. Hosted on Acast.

Solo show today — breaking down every series from the weekend, west to east, AL then NL, and I had to sit here and recap one of the ugliest innings in A's history while also telling you my little league A's got wrecked by the parents in the end-of-season game. It was a full weekend. The real A's gave up 13 runs in the third inning Sunday. Yankees sent 18 batters up, batted through the order twice, Ben Rice hit a double AND a triple in the same inning, and my guys threw three pitchers at it and still couldn't stop the bleeding. They came back with eight runs and still lost by five. Severino got lit up Friday and is now headed to the IL with a right shoulder strain. The defense is a mess without Jacob Wilson. JT Ginn was filthy on Saturday and the offense actually showed up — Langeliers, Kurtz, and Soderstrom all going deep — but it didn't last. A's drop to 28-31 and the pitching staff is a dumpster fire right now. Tigers got walked off by Miguel Vargas in the tenth on Friday after Troy Melton threw seven innings of one-run ball. Seven innings. One run. Didn't matter. Saturday the White Sox put three homers on them — on Quero's bobblehead day, of course — and Sunday Colson Montgomery ties it in the seventh and Tristan Peters drives in the winner. White Sox sweep. Tigers are 6-21 in May. It is not good. The Rockies had one of the best nights of the year on Friday. Giants up 6-3 in the ninth, Goodman hits a 414-foot three-run shot to tie it, and then Tovar walks it off with his SECOND homer of the game. Saturday, Feltner comes back from injury and throws six shutout innings. Then the Giants show up Sunday and drop 19 on them. That's Coors. That's always Coors. Still take the series two to one. Beyond my teams: Yamamoto struck out 10 and held Philly hitless through three. Wrobleski went seven innings, one hit, nine K on Friday — one of the best starts of the weekend anywhere. Acuna hit four homers in his last five games and is making his case for best player in baseball again. The Orioles came back from 5-1 in the bottom of the ninth with eight straight guys reaching and Pete Alonso walking it off. Misiorowski retired the last 17 Astros in order in a 2-0 shutout. Carson Benge leadoff homer, Juan Soto grand slam, Mets sweep the Marlins. Pirates swept the Twins. Mariners swept the D-backs. Rangers swept the Royals. Full standings breakdown and a look at today's slate to close it out.

Are you giving your best clients the kind of experience that makes them stay, spend, and refer? What can Disney, Club 33, and world-class direct marketers teach you about premium pet care? And how do you build a daycare that doesn't just supervise dogs — but removes worry from their owners' lives? In this episode, I'm talking about two big lessons I picked up from Brian Kurtz and Barry Jacobson at a recent mastermind in Florida. Brian is one of the true legends of direct response marketing and the author of Overdeliver, while Barry spent decades helping Disney create VIP, luxury, and members-only experiences for some of their most valuable guests. I unpack how Brian's RFM principle can help you identify your best clients, reward them properly, and create higher-priced services around what they already want. Then I dive into Barry's Disney-style lesson that luxury isn't really about piling on more stuff — it's about removing worry, creating certainty, and making people feel genuinely looked after. If you want to build a more premium, experience-led pet business, this episode will help you rethink what "overdelivering" really means. In this episode, you'll discover: The Power of RFM – How recency, frequency, and monetary value help you identify your best clients. Why Best Clients Deserve More – How rewarding loyal clients creates more referrals, retention, and revenue. What Luxury Really Means – Why premium service is less about fancy extras and more about removing worry. Building a Fortress of Trust – How great daycare experiences give dog owners peace of mind all day long. Where the Industry Is Heading – Why smart operators are moving away from warehouse-style daycare and toward personalised, experience-led service.

The discussion centers on why Major League Baseball games are trending longer this season despite the pitch clock, attributing the shift to increased player comfort and the ABS challenge system. They also highlight standout performances, including Nick Kurtz's historic walk streak and Detroit Tigers prospect Kevin McGonigle's impressive start.
The NL Central is absolute chaos! The first-place Reds are off to their best start in 20 years, while the Cardinals just swept the Pirates (sorry, Paul Skenes).

Elly De La Cruz is a star and just pulled off something incredible, but what we didn’t know is what he was doing when Terry Francona was first hired, and it says a lot about his character. A true class act. Our GameChanger of the Week focuses on managers, especially with all the wild news that broke this week. Alex Cora is out, Rob Thomson is out—so what does that mean for the game? Tim Kurkjian weighs in, and Jeff brings it all the way back around to Little League. Nick Kurtz keeps getting on base, but he’s still short of the record for most consecutive games with a walk. The current leader might surprise you, and no, it’s not Barry Bonds. Plus, Drew Romo has done something that caught all of us off guard. He’s off to a really fun start, no debating that. On This Date in baseball history, Bob Feller comes up, along with a great story involving one of our favorite guests, Steve Sparks. We share some laughs looking back at that interview, and don’t worry, Feller comes back into the conversation later in Alphabest. We wrap things up with Wheel of Kurkjian, Three Cards in the Bathroom, and a Team Tim that highlights some of the best sitcoms of all time, at least according to Tim. Trust me, Jeff had plenty to say about the one major omission, but hey, it’s not called Team Jeff. Thanks so much for listening or watching and for spending time with us.

Ashley Kurtz started playing golf as a junior. She played through college. Then she worked on a golf course for six years. What she didn't know was that her body was accumulating a chemical burden with every round, every practice session, and every shift on the course. When we tested Ashley, her results showed elevated mycotoxins and organophosphates — the exact class of chemicals applied to golf courses across the United States. Chemicals like chlorpyrifos, a neurotoxin banned from food crops but still legally sprayed on fairways, and chlorothalonil, a carcinogen banned in the EU but the number one chemical used on American golf courses. Published research shows that 60% of a golfer's chemical absorption occurs through direct skin contact. Every time you place a tee, pick up a ball, or wipe sweat from your face — you are absorbing what's on that turf. In this episode, Ashley and I sit down to walk through her exposure history, her symptoms, her lab results, and what we did about it. This is not theory. This is a real patient, real data, and a real conversation about what happens when years of environmental exposure go undetected. If you play golf, live near a golf course, or have children playing on treated turf — this episode is for you.

In this episode, Ned sits down with Johann Kurtz - a legacy adviser, former technology professional and author of Leaving a Legacy: Inheritance, Charity, and Thousand-Year Families. Kurtz's work focuses on the philosophy, theology, and practical structure of multi-generational family impact. Drawing from a deep engagement with Western intellectual and Christian traditions, he explores how families can steward wealth, culture, and responsibility across generations rather than defaulting to short-term or purely individual success models. His recent thought-provoking book challenges modern assumptions about inheritance, philanthropy, and family responsibility, arguing for a return to intentional, values-driven legacy building rooted in moral clarity and long-term vision.This episode is a wake-up call for fathers who want their life to mean something beyond just a career and a paycheck. Together, they challenge one of the biggest cultural assumptions today: that success is about building wealth for yourself—and in some persuasions, giving it away—rather than building something that lasts through your family.Johann makes a bold case—strong families, not institutions, have historically built the most meaningful, lasting impact. Multi-generational vision isn't about hoarding wealth or entitlement; it's about raising sons and daughters who are capable, virtuous stewards of what's been built before them.The conversation gets practical fast. Fathers are challenged to rethink how they're raising their kids—not just pushing them toward school and jobs, but intentionally shaping character, exposing them to real responsibility, surrounding them with strong men, and integrating them into meaningful work and relationships early.There's also a hard truth: if your adult kids aren't ready to carry something forward, that's not a market problem—it's a fatherhood problem. You had decades to prepare them.Key Takeaway:Stop thinking in terms of one lifetime. Start thinking in generations. Build something worth passing on—and raise the kind of men and women who can carry it.---------Check Out the Program Talked About: Genesis by Rise Up KingsThis episode is sponsored by Genesis - a Rite of Passage by Rise Up KingsOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?www.adventureoffatherhood.comwww.rebelandcreate.comEach week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

In this episode of BRAVE COMMERCE, Rachel Tipograph and Sarah Hofstetter speak with Helen Kurtz, Chief Marketing Officer at The Wine Group, about how one of the largest wine companies is navigating a category defined by intense competition and shifting consumer behavior.Helen shares how her team is accelerating speed to market, bringing new products to shelf in months, not years, while moving earlier on emerging trends. She also discusses the realities of innovating across product, packaging, and format, and what it takes to succeed within a complex system of distributors, retailers, and internal stakeholders.Key takeaways:Speed to market is critical—brands must move quickly and be willing to act before trends fully mature.Low loyalty shifts the focus from retention to consistently winning the moment of purchase.Growth comes from identifying emerging trends early and entering them before the category gets crowded.

Eksik Olan'nın bu bölümünde Ömer Çeşit ve Alp Kozanoğlu, JM Coetzee ve psikanalist Annabella Kurtz'un birlikte yazdığı "İyi Hikaye" kitabı üzerinden kurmaca, hakikat ve psikoterapi arasındaki ilişkiyi ve edebiyat ile psikanalizin kesiştiği noktaları derinlemesine tartışıyor. Kurmaca gerçekten uzak mı yoksa hakikate giden başka bir yol mu? Psikoterapinin amacı bireyi gerçek hikayesiyle yüzleştirmek mi yoksa daha yaşanabilir bir anlatı kurmasını sağlamak mı? Bu bölümde, bireysel hafıza, bastırma mekanizmaları, kimlik oluşumu ve toplumsal aidiyet gibi konular çarpıcı örneklerle ele alınıyor. Ayrıca Coetzee'nin edebiyat anlayışı, psikanalizin karakter çözümlemelerine etkisi ve insanların kendi hayatlarını nasıl bir “kurgu” olarak inşa ettiği tartışılıyor. Hakikat, kurmaca ve özgürlük arasındaki bu zihin açıcı diyalog, hem edebiyat severler hem de psikolojiye ilgi duyanlar için önemli içgörüler sunuyor. Learn more about your ad choices.
