Gene Zannetti talks with Maryland state champion Cash Wheat about his three-year journey with Wrestling Mindset from a confidence-struggling sophomore to a dominant state champion, how building a confidence anchor using a simple leg slap helped him attack instead of hesitate, developing a warrior alter ego that transformed him the moment he stepped on the mat, and how the mindset work spilled over into his daily life giving him the confidence to talk to new people and feel like he belongs with high-level guys.Timestamps:1:44 - Focusing on confidence2:34 - Bounced back with Coach Mike's help4:25 - Confidence anchor: building the leg slap into a competitive trigger5:50 - Alter ego strategy7:10 - Mindset built confidence off the mat9:13 - Committed to D3 at University of Lynchburg, targeting All-American11:18 - The setback that fueled the state run14:53 - Won the state finals 12-0 before pinning his opponent in the final period

What does it take to come out of the water nearly last and choose to come back? Not once, but race after race, distance after distance, through graduate school, a pandemic, and the arrival of three children in 17 months. Mike Nyman's triathlon story doesn't begin with a perfect swim or a podium finish. It begins with a graduation gift, a best friend, and a pool race in Lynchburg, Virginia. From that sprint in 2013, Mike has grown into a five-time Ironman finisher, Team Varlo Virginia Region captain, and an athlete who still gets nervous every single time he enters the water. That honesty is exactly what makes his story so worth hearing. In this episode, Mike talks through the self-supported iron-distance he completed during the pandemic, the power of community and diversity in endurance sports, what fatherhood has taught him about sacrifice and partnership, and the advice he gives to beginners and veterans alike. This is a story about discipline, resilience, and what happens when you refuse to let a race define you. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

The crew reviews the Jack Daniel's Special Release Small Batch Rye, which consists of five high-proof batches of Tennessee Rye Whiskey sourced from Coy Hill, Boiler Hill, and Fire Brigade Fields barrelhouses. Presented at barrel proof in 375 mL bottles and proof points ranging from 142.7 to 146.1, the special release represents some of the most unparalleled and limited Tennessee Rye Whiskey to emerge from the Lynchburg distillery. A total of 129 Tennessee Rye Whiskey barrels with entry dates spanning 18 months (from February 2016 to August 2017) were matured for an average of 10 years across three barrelhouse groups. The well-known Coy Hill produced two of the five batches while two new locations, Boiler Hill and Fire Brigade Fields are where three additional batches were matured. Forged in the heart of Lynchburg, Coy Hill, Boiler Hill and Fire Brigade Fields showcase three unique landscapes at the Jack Daniel Distillery.

Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter are back at the Corner Rickhouse in Frankfort, Kentucky, just down the road from Buffalo Trace, settling in for a heritage distillery tasting that spans from the hills of Lynchburg, Tennessee, all the way through the heart of Kentucky bourbon country. The guys kick off with the latest annual drops from Jack Daniel's before crossing the state line to visit some of the storied names that built American whiskey into what it is today. Along the way, Jim and Todd also chat about the swirling acquisition rumors surrounding Brown-Forman, the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, and what it means for a legacy brand to stay independent. On the Tasting Mat: - **Jack Daniel's 10 Year Old Batch 5 (2026):** The newest annual release of Jack's decade-aged Tennessee whiskey, bottled at 97 proof with an 80/12/8 corn-rye-malt mash bill. The nose opens with inviting molasses, banana candy, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a hint of chocolate alongside a light leather note. On the palate it delivers warmth well above its sub-100 proof, with brown sugar, candy cherry, and a lingering spice-driven finish. *(00:01:48)* - Jack Daniel's 12 Year Old Batch 4 (2026): The 12-year step-up in the Tennessee Heritage series, clocking in at 107 proof. The nose is more muted than its younger sibling but shifts toward darker fruit — raisins, black cherries, and molasses. The palate moves away from the lighter candy notes into a drier, more structured profile with bitter chocolate, dried cranberry, and a savory, slightly green mid-palate character. *(00:09:35)* - Knob Creek Blender's Edition 01 — Sweet Bourbon Blend: The first installment in a new Knob Creek blending series, this 10-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon is bottled at 106 proof and retails for around $45. The nose leans into vanilla and light Rick house funk rather than the brand's signature nuttiness. The palate follows with a light, vanilla-forward profile featuring cake batter sweetness and confectionary notes — a deliberate stylistic departure aimed at accessibility. *(00:14:35)* - Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series — Steward's Release: The third entry in Maker's Mark's five-part Wood Finishing Series, finished on 10 toasted American oak staves and bottled at approximately 109.8 proof for around $75–$80. The nose is richly expressive — cherry pie filling, baking spices, cinnamon, and caramel. The palate delivers vanilla custard, honey, chocolate, cardamom, allspice, stone fruit, and a savory oak note on the back end. *(00:26:41)* - Evan Williams America 250th Commemorative Edition Single Barrel (Barrel #233): A special single barrel release bottled at the patriotically meaningful 117.76 proof to honor the nation's 250th birthday. Barrel #233 was laid down December 15, 2018 and bottled March 2, 2026 — just over eight years of maturation. The nose features toasted caramel, peanut shell, oak, and dark berries. The palate is rich and layered with peach, berry, sweet oak, and a long finish, all for a remarkable $45 retail price. *(00:31:15)* Jim and Todd wrap up with a ranking of all five pours, debating heritage versus innovation across some of American whiskey's most iconic names. Whether you're a longtime fan of the Tennessee tradition or a Kentucky bourbon devotee, this episode offers a wide-ranging tour through the legacies that built the brown water world we know today.

Host Janet Michael sits down with Les Sinclair, Communications and PR Manager of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank to explore how older Americans are both the backbone of the food bank's volunteer workforce and one of its most vulnerable populations. With May designated as Older Americans Month — and the 2026 theme being "Champion Your Health" — the conversation digs into rising food insecurity numbers, the critical role of nutrition, and how the food bank is adapting to increasing demand and shrinking federal support. Key Topics Covered Older Americans as Volunteers Seniors make up a large portion of food pantry volunteers, particularly through church-based programs Over 50% of food pantries operate out of churches Seniors are "aging out" of heavy lifting tasks — food bank supports partners with electric pallet jacks and other equipment Seniors as Food Recipients 1 in 5 seniors visits a food pantry at some point Fixed incomes leave little flexibility when prices rise (gas, groceries, prescriptions) Many seniors batch all monthly errands into a single trip, including food pantry visits Transportation and mobility challenges drive demand for delivery-based food services The Numbers 32+ million pounds of food distributed last fiscal year Currently tracking to exceed that — 16.6 million pounds in the first half of this fiscal year Monthly guest visits have risen from ~171,200 (last fiscal year average) to ~177,000 currently Peak of 194,000 visits recorded in October 2025 amid government shutdown uncertainty USDA food supply is down 31%, requiring the food bank to purchase more food to fill the gap Food as Medicine 5.5 million pounds of the food distributed is produce Proper nutrition can help manage chronic conditions: high blood pressure, kidney disease, diabetes Food bank partners with healthcare clinics to screen patients for food insecurity and send them home with food that meets dietary needs Variety and choice matter — food that isn't eaten provides no nutrition Senior-Specific Programs CSFP (Commodity Supplemental Food Program) / Senior Food Boxes — USDA-funded monthly food boxes for income-qualifying seniors; packed in Charlottesville, distributed region-wide from Winchester to Lynchburg; recently supplemented with additional produce boxes Reach Boxes — Food bank's own program for seniors who don't qualify for USDA boxes; same concept, purchased food USDA Funding & the Farm Bill USDA product reductions create ripple effects throughout the food distribution network The Farm Bill is critical to maintaining nutrition programs, supporting farmers, and funding food banks Smaller pantries may not have the budget to fill USDA gaps — the food bank has issued financial credits to ~120 pantries Food bank is spending ~$700,000 on 400,000 pounds of high-quality, culturally specific proteins (chicken, fish, beef, peanut butter) to distribute for free to partners How the Food Bank is Funded Over 75% of funding comes from individual donors — people giving $5–$10/month $10 = 30 meals; community giving compounds significantly at scale Large corporate donations are rare in the region Upcoming Event: Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Date: Saturday, May 9th Organized by the Letter Carriers Association (not the post office) Leave non-perishable food items by your mailbox before 8:00 AM Letter carriers will collect and deliver to local pantries or the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank Largest food drive of the year Tips: No glass containers, no perishables — canned goods and boxed items preferred Can also donate online in honor of your letter carrier How to Get Involved Donate food: Leave items at your mailbox on May 9th for Stamp Out Hunger Donate money: Even $5–$10/month makes a difference Find a pantry or get help: brafb.org

Season 7, Episode 26 of Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank is a special Liberty University “Ignite Edition”, recorded live in Virginia with a full table of guests and plenty of spirited sports debate. Dan Fox is joined by Josh “The Golf Report” Hooks, Liberty golfer Rusty Hooks, Victor Geikema, Sheridan, Jerry Hooks, Tyler, and a surprise phone-in appearance from Frank himself—creating one of the liveliest roundtable conversations of the season.The episode opens with Liberty University basketball, as the crew breaks down the Flames' strong regular season and disappointing exit from the Conference USA tournament. Liberty finished atop the conference standings but fell to Missouri State in the tournament, raising a classic college basketball debate: Should a three-day conference tournament outweigh an entire three-month regular season? Rusty argues the tournament proves who performs under pressure, while others question whether a single bad night should erase months of dominance. With Liberty now headed to the NIT, the panel debates whether the Flames can make a deep postseason run despite missing the NCAA Tournament.The conversation quickly expands to the broader March Madness landscape as Selection Sunday approaches. The group discusses potential championship contenders—including Michigan, Arizona, Florida, Kansas, and Duke—and examines how injuries, roster depth, and coaching experience could shape the tournament. Rick Pitino's St. John's squad, Kansas' unpredictable star Darren Peterson, and the always-dangerous bracket “dark horse” teams all get their share of analysis as the crew previews the most exciting weekend in college sports.The episode also features a spirited golf segment, led by Liberty's own Rusty Hooks, who breaks down rising PGA Tour star Ludvig Åberg and his chances at the Players Championship. The panel looks ahead to The Masters, with predictions featuring names like Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka, and Viktor Hovland. The conversation includes a special shout-out to Lynchburg native Zach Bauchou, who made the cut at The Players Championship, highlighting local pride in the golf world.From there, the discussion shifts into the NFL offseason, where quarterback movement and draft strategy take center stage. The crew debates whether young quarterbacks—like projected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza—should start immediately or sit behind a veteran mentor. Historical examples from Brett Favre to Patrick Mahomes fuel a lively debate about development, coaching, and the importance of organizational stability. The group also examines offseason outlooks for teams like the Raiders, Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders, and Lions as they prepare for the upcoming draft.Along the way, listeners are treated to plenty of the usual Sports Fellowship flavor: friendly trash talk, predictions, a Phillipsburg vs. Easton tennis bet involving yard work, and classic storytelling from Jerry Hooks about Liberty basketball history.As always, the episode closes with encouragement for listeners to join the Sports Fellowship Bracket Challenge, updates on the show's Facebook page, and an invitation to connect with the community at First Baptist Church of Phillipsburg.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/
Tonight we will be speaking to Seth and Seth writes "I grew up in Lynchburg, Virginia, and went to college there too. That's where this story took place. It's not a Bigfoot encounter at least I don't think it is. Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of encounter it was. All I know is that it happened to me. I've often wished someone could explain it, tell me what it was or what it meant. It happened on October 31, 2001, under a full blue moon, along one of the quietest stretches of the Blue Ridge Parkway. At the time, I was driving a 1970 Chevy Bel Air an old steel boat of a car and I had pulled into the James River overlook near Goff Mountain Road. It was close to midnight. The moon was so bright it almost felt like daytime. I shut the engine off and decided to stretch my legs. There's a small trail there that leads down toward a bench maybe a hundred yards from the parking area. I'd spent a lot of time in the woods so being out in the forest at night didn't bother me. I knew what normal nighttime woods felt like. And I also knew when something felt off. As I walked down the trail, the stillness felt unnatural. No breeze. No insects. No rustling. Nothing. I sat on the bench and looked through the bare branches while the moonlight spilled across the slope below. It was beautiful, but something about it felt wrong. Like I was being watched. Then I heard a Snap. A single limb breaking somewhere downslope, maybe fifty to a hundred yards away toward the Bellamy Creek drainage. At first I didn't think much of it deer snap branches all the time. Then it happened again. And again. What caught my attention wasn't just the sound it was the pattern. The breaks started coming from different directions. Not like one animal moving through the woods. I counted five, maybe ten distinct snaps, each spaced about four or five seconds apart. Then the timing changed. The snaps started coming faster… one every second or two… and they seemed to be moving in a circle around me. That was enough. Instinct kicked in, and I stood up and headed back to the car. When I got inside the car, I didn't start the engine right away. I just sat there with the keys in the ignition, ready to leave if I needed to. At first, nothing happened. Then something hit the hood. It sounded exactly like a Douglas fir cone hitting steel hard, solid, unmistakable. The problem was that there were no pine or fir trees there. Only deciduous trees, and by that time of year all their leaves had already fallen. There was nothing up there that could drop. Then another hit. Then they started falling faster like something was throwing them. They weren't rocks or dirt. Every impact sounded the same weight, the same size, the same hollow thunk of a heavy cone hitting metal. The hood, the roof, the trunk maybe even the sides of the car. But I couldn't see anything falling. Nothing bouncing off. Nothing rolling away. Just the sound. I looked up toward the treeline in front of me, expecting to see bare trunks and branches in the moonlight. Instead, I saw figures. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. The shapes looked like people standing among the trees. They weren't trees. They were tall figures six to seven feet high wearing what looked like long hoods or cloaks. Completely black. No faces. No hands. Just darkness beneath the hoods. Some stood still. Others seemed angled toward me. It was like they absorbed the moonlight instead of reflecting it. I turned to my left, toward the grassy median beside the car, and saw more shapes there. Maybe three to eight of them, lying flat on the ground like bodies. Each time I looked away and then looked back, they were closer. But they never moved while I was watching. No sound. No crawling. Just different positions every time my eyes shifted. Then I noticed something near the driver's side of the car. Three smaller figures, only five to ten feet away. These weren't tall like the ones near the trees. They were crouched or hunched close to the ground, almost like children playing. Under each hood there was a faint flicker like someone trying to light a cigarette lighter that never quite caught. Meanwhile the impacts on the car were coming faster and faster. At that point, instinct completely took over. I turned the key, threw the car into Drive, and sped out of the overlook as fast as I could. As I pulled away, those smaller figures were right beside my door. If the window had been open, I'm certain I could have reached out and touched them. They just watched. I drove for about five miles before finally pulling over. Nothing had followed me. When I got out and inspected the car, there wasn't a single dent. No scratches. No debris. Nothing at all that explained what I had heard hitting the car. I've looked at that location on maps many times since then. But I've never gone back in person. Not once. I haven't even driven that stretch of the Parkway again. There's one detail that still bothers me, though. When I later looked at the spot on Google Maps, the overlook where I had parked appeared to be on the wrong side of the road. I clearly remember pulling into it on the right side from the direction I was traveling. But according to the map, it should have been on the left. I've tried to make sense of that for years, and I still can't. For a long time, I never told anyone about this." Now, I'm telling you."
