Star Trek: The Next Generation, Series 6, Episodes 3. First broadcast on Monday 5 October 1992. It's an outstandingly stupid episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation this week, except for the astonishingly brilliant idea of giving Marina fun things to do and a range of fabulously fun things to wear. Actually, let me start that again. It's an astonishingly brilliant episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation this week,…

President Trump has shown time and time again that he is a man of the people. From an early age, he was on jobsites with his father learning the real estate business and the trades that be. Up until the time he became President in 2016, he continued to run his day-to-day business which included all that came with it. President Trump knows and has what it takes to get this country and all the blue-collar industries back and thriving once again.

Recap of the Cleveland Guardians' 7-5 win over the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series. Recap of the Denver Broncos 33-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football. Live from the Golden Circle Sports Book & Bar, former NFL corner back and Next Level Chef contestant Mark McMillian joins Cofield & Co. to talk about Tom Brady officially joining the Las Vegas Raiders as a minority owner, the behavior of Philadelphia Eagles' head coach Nick Sirianni, and previews Game 5 of the NLCS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.  

Aunque tenemos un episodio sin tertulia ni invitado, todavía hay que dar salida a las anécdotas de Jesús por el sudeste asiático y, además, ya ha comenzado ‘Tulsa King'. Así que añadiendo los comentarios de los oyentes, no comenzamos el episodio de TNG hasta el minuto 28. Sobre ‘Man of the People', a pesar de ser un episodio flojo para las alturas que estamos de la serie, tiene detalles interesantes sobre la relación Troi/Riker y permite que Marina Sirtis se luzca un poco en un papel diferente al habitual. También, los episodios menos buenos dan más juego a los comentarios. Y como de cualquier episodio de Star Trek, escondidas en mundos lejanos futuros se pueden extraer muchas lecciones de vida aplicadas a la Tierra y al presente.

In this episode of V-FM Pensions hosts Darren and Nico chat to their former boss and Chief Executive of the People's Partnership Patrick Heath-Lay. Patrick has been at People's (formerly B&CE) for his whole career and has a remarkable story of joining the organisation to deliver the mail and then working his way up to become CEO of one of the largest pension schemes in the country. We, of course, ask Patrick what value for money means to him, but we also have an in depth discussion about policy and what's in the store for the future. We chat pensions adequacy, the Government's pensions review and productive finance. We also cover transfers, consolidation and scheme quality and the evolution of pensions in the UK, including how Patrick (and others) came together to truly disrupt the pensions market with the launch of the People's Pension back in 2011. The most surprising thing about this episode though... Patrick is even complimentary about Nico's piano playing!

I gotta say, Troi sure knows how to pick 'em! But I blame the writers here. A diplomat comes in hot from an exploding transport ship but it's his mom that steals the show being angry at Troi's existence. Ambassador Alkar forms a bond with her, noting her empathic abilities, before his mom is found dead. Troi and Alkar touch crystals. Then she goes whackadoo: wearing revealing dresses, sleeping with ensigns,  scratching Riker, stabbing Picard, etc. We find out Alkar has got a shit-ton of these receptacles and Picard's not standing for it!

The displays are so self explanatory you don't need to say much. Stigall discusses Biden's 2000th trip to Pennsylvania yesterday while Trump is cheered like it the 90s outside MTV in New York. Trump's Small Business Administration chief Lina McMahon joins the show and responds to Katie Couric's snarky description of Trump voters. The brilliant former Deputy National Security Director KT McFarland gives her take on Iran's latest attack on Israel and what she believes will be the response. Stigall explains the real reason the valedictorian at USC is no longer allowed to speak at commencement. And SCOTUS seems ready to rule in favor of J6ers and against the government, but Stigall cautions you on celebrating too soon. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s a full NBA Playoff Preview on this week’s show, and we open things up with Mike Greenberg’s comments about the Lakers “tanking” the play-in game so they can try to get the #8 seed to face OKC instead of taking the #7 seed and facing Denver… and Rob AGREES with him! We debate the merit of playing the tougher teams early instead of late, and dive deep into all the play-in games and first round matchups. Rob says that the Thunder are young, but they are NOT ready, and thinks the 8 seed in the West will  have a legit shot to knock them out in the first round. And Rob and B-Dog debate the merit of Rudy Gobert in the playoffs, how entertaining the Clippers-Mavericks series will be, and what will happen to the Bucks without Giannis in the opening round. We also throw some props to Victor Wembanyama and take an eye-opening look at Caitlin Clark’s rookie deal with the WNBA. Plus some amazing audio from Boban’s missed free throw that won Clippers fans free chicken, and a fun new game called “Imposter” where Rob and B have to sniff out the NBA player that does not belong in the category.

Ned reacts to Scotties dominance and how the pressure got to everyone else, is it a stretch to see Max Homa win a Major and how impressive it was that Tiger made the cut. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Coming in hot straight from the World Championship Blacksmiths Winter Clinic at Well-Shod, we got to sit down with a few cool guests and chat with them! This episode is with someone that most people know and respect because of how great a person he is, Hank Chisholm. Hank shared with us how he gained a passion for this trade and how he tries to share that passion with everyone through the American Farrier's Association. Most people were pretty dang excited when Hank was elected to be president of the AFA. Speaks volumes when you hear everyone say only but good things about a person as to who the type of person they are, and that would be someone you want to be the head honcho of an association like the AFA. We also covered what Hank has done to be involved with improving the AFA and the AFA certification process. And from the sounds of it, it's no easy task!

Radio...suckas never play me. If you weren't born in the 70s/80s I think it's hard to understand the importance radio stations once held. In a world before the internet radio was the primary way we learned about and consumed new music. In that paradigm the radio DJ held a sacred place. The old school disc jockey was curator, taste maker, and gatekeeper all rolled into one. Luckily the the Dad Bods came of age in a time and place where the benevolent radio DJ Chuy Gomez presided over Hip Hop radio. For more than 20 years Chuy was the voice that brought us Hip Hop over the airwaves. He also held it down (and continues to hold it down) on TV as well as the host the California Music Channel. The bros were fortunate to get some of Chuy's time and nerd out about the bay area radio of yesteryear. If you like what you hear please like, rate, review, and subscribe on your platform of choice.

As drivers follow their trajectory through motorsports, they are often faced with potentially life-changing decisions. On episode 397 of the Dale Jr. Download, Indycar talent Conor Daly joins Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis to discuss a crossroads he faced and how his choice affected his career path. After winning the Star Mazda Championship in 2010 and securing a hefty scholarship fund to invest in his future racing endeavors, Daly had to make the selection of a lifetime: pursue Formula One or Indycar?  Son of former Formula One driver Derek Daly and Indianapolis Motor Speedway employee Beth Boles, Conor was no stranger to auto racing. In fact, he begins by saying that he has hardly any early-life memories that don't involve racing. He recalled his time spent at the Racing Babies childcare facility at IMS and his early infatuation with the sport. He also spoke of his father's racing career, which ended when he was born in 1991, and how he has been able to uncover more of his accomplishments through the digital age. Up to that point in 2010, Conor had rapidly progressed up the opening rungs of the motorsports ladder. From his first time behind the wheel of a go-kart at age 10 to winning the 2006 World Karting Association Grand Nationals, he and his father Derek worked tirelessly on his burgeoning career. From karts, he took on car racing through the Skip Barber National Championship, which he won in his first year in 2008. Then came the Star Mazda circuit, which of course brings the story to that crossroads at the end of the 2010 season. A stipulation of Conor's scholarship and the Road to Indy program was that while he could take part of the money and pursue GP3 racing in Europe, he still needed to enter a handful of Indy Lights events. After the first three events of the schedule, competing for Sam Schmidt Motorsports, Conor found himself with a 2nd place finish and a victory and leading the season points. His prospects in the world of Indycar were so high, that he revealed he actually got a call from Graham Rahal as he was about to depart for Europe, asking him, “are you sure you want to do this?” Ultimately, Conor left the United States and departed for England, where he'd stay with Rahal's stepfather Chris Berry and set up a home base for his time spent racing in GP3. Daly explained that in his debut GP3 race he qualified 29th and was immediately hit with the regret of his decision. In his absence in the Indy Lights series, Josef Newgarden would go on to win the championship and sign a three-year contract with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing. And while Daly would wind up inking a deal with the Force India Formula One team that would have him serve as a test and reserve driver, his time overseas would prove unfruitful, and he returned home to pursue a path in Indycar. Conor and Dale Jr. discuss Europe's perspective on American racers and theorize as to why it is difficult for them to break into the Formula racing ladder. After returning home, Daly did whatever he could to be at the tracks on race weekends, even at one point driving the Indycar two-seater for fan experiences. His perseverance would eventually win out, as he rose from filling in for injured drivers to racing part-time and now full-time for Ed Carpenter Racing. Daly took time to speak on the ascension from spending his childhood at IMS to racing in the Indianapolis 500. Just this past May in the 106th running of the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing”, the hometown hero brought home his best finish to date, sixth place. DIRTY AIRBefore Conor joins the show, Dale, Mike, Alex, and Hannah chat about: Kelley's birthday bash Long weekend in Daytona The great Cup race rain debacle  Kurt Busch's injury progress ASKJR presented by XfinityThis week the fans asked questions about: Strangest excuse to explain a crash Feelings on Greg Ives' leaving as crew chief Updates on his ongoing car projects Championship Four predictions To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
