California has long reigned as the land of plenty, a place where the sun always shines and opportunity beckons. Even prior to its statehood in 1850, it captured the world's imagination. We think of bearded prospectors lured by the promise of gold; we imagine its early embrace of immigrant labor during the railroad boom as prologue to its diverse social fabric today. But what lies underneath the myth is far more complicated. Thanks to extensive research by Michael Hiltzik, one of our longstanding voices on California, Golden State: The Making of California (Mariner Books, 2025) uncovers the unvarnished truth about the state we think we know well. From Spanish incursions into what became known as Alta California to the rise of Big Tech, the history of California is one of stark contradictions. In rich, previously overlooked detail, we see its earliest statesmen wreak havoc among native peoples while racing to draft their own constitution even ahead of statehood. Gold-hungry settlers venture into the Sierra foothills only to leave with little, while a handful of their suppliers turn themselves into millionaire railroad magnates. Wars erupt in the name of water as Los Angeles booms, and early efforts to tame the vast landscape create a haven for fossil fuel extraction and environmental conservation alike. Hollywood politicians stoke fear, contributing to a centuries-long tradition of anti-Asian violence, and, remarkably, legal redlining and free higher education take root together. Golden State brings a fresh critical eye to the origins of the state against which the rest of the country measures itself. From its very start, Hiltzik shows, the story of the United States was written in California. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Waterworld Directed by Kevin Reynolds Starring Kevin Costner After the melting of the polar ice caps, most of the globe is underwater. Some humans have survived, and even fewer still, notably the Mariner (Kevin Costner), have adapted to the ocean by developing gills. A loner by nature, the Mariner reluctantly befriends Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and her young companion, Enola (Tina Majorino), as they escape from a hostile artificial island. Soon the sinister Smokers are pursuing them in the belief that Enola holds the key to finding the mythical Dryland. The Net Directed by Irwin Winkler Starring Sandra Bullock Computer programmer Angela Bennett (Sandra Bullock) starts a new freelance gig and, strangely, all her colleagues start dying. Does it have something to do with the mysterious disc she was given? Her suspicions are raised when, during a trip to Mexico, she's seduced by a handsome stranger (Jeremy Northam) intent on locating the same disc. Soon Angela is tangled up in a far-reaching conspiracy that leads to her identity being erased. Can she stop the same thing from happening to her life?

Bob and Dave are live at the VMAC to give you their biggest takeaways from Seahawks Training camp, including what they’ve seen from the offensive line and the second season of Mike Macdonald’s defense, and they break down whether the Mariner will be able to continue their hot streak on their three-city road trip. 

Dennis and Brady kick off their camp series to talk Mariner football, joined by head coach Daryn Letson, O-line coach Joe Fregetto, and captains Lyncoln Osterland and Chase Ramsey to talk everything Marine City in 2025

« Objectif Mars », « Mars, la nouvelle frontière de la conquête spatiale », titre le Nouvel Obs, avec en Une, une splendide photo, celle d'une planète où se mêlent harmonieusement l'orange et le rouge. Un peu comme dans un rêve, mais ne rêvons pas trop longtemps, car la réalité se mesure en termes de puissance et d'argent. « La planète Mars est aujourd'hui le Graal intersidéral, nous dit le Nouvel Obs, le terrain des grandes puissances, avec la Chine comme nouvel acteur. L'Amérique de Trump en a fait son nouveau fétiche, promettant les premiers pas de l'homme sur Mars d'ici à 2029, avant la fin du mandat du président. »  Qu'importe si tous les scientifiques s'accordent à dire que c'est parfaitement impossible. Donald Trump y croit-il lui-même ? En tout cas, il mène le jeu comme n'importe quelle autre affaire commerciale. « Trump et ses amis de la tech mettent en danger les programmes de la Nasa basés sur la coopération internationale, pour privilégier les progrès strictement nationaux, nous explique le Nouvel Obs. « Derrière les accents triomphants annonçant la colonisation de Mars pour les prochaines années (…) se cache la captation des crédits publics par quelques "entreprises amies", celles des barons de la tech qui ont soutenu la campagne de Trump, avec en tête Elon Musk avec Space X et Jeff Bezos avec Blue Origin. ».Les passionnés, qui regardent la planète rouge avec des yeux d'enfant, en seront pour leurs frais.

Après l'annonce d'une rencontre entre Trump et Poutine le 15 août en Alaska, le Journal du Dimanche (JDD) pose la question : « Et si la guerre se terminait la semaine prochaine ? », question faussement innocente, car l'analyse qui suit tend plutôt à démontrer le contraire. « Personne ne peut croire que la paix soit l'issue de ce tête-à-tête », estime le JDD. La Tribune Dimanche, de son côté, met l'accent sur ce qu'elle estime être l'ambition première de Donald Trump : « le président américain se rêve en prix Nobel de la paix, et multiplie les initiatives pour y parvenir. Le sommet du 15 août avec Vladimir Poutine est un pas de plus sur le chemin de son ambition ». À la question « le sommet du 15 août pourrait-il accoucher du plus grand succès diplomatique de la seconde présidence Trump ?  David Salvo, analyste au German Marshall Fund, interrogé par la Tribune dimanche, répond : « Washington sous-estime à quel point le Kremlin veut continuer à mener cette guerre, la légitimité et le sort du régime poutinien ne dépendent pas seulement de la fin de ce conflit aux conditions dictées par la Russie, mais à sa prolongation jusqu'à nouvel ordre, avec une économie entièrement consacrée à cette guerre ».   Bref, personne ne croit vraiment à un miracle pour le 15 août.

L'Estonie, elle, ne peut guère compter que sur ses 4 000 militaires de métier et ses appelés. Et puis bien sûr, il y a l'Otan.

The Mariners went all in — and we're here for it. On this episode of The Wing and a Prayer Podcast, we break down Seattle's aggressive trade deadline moves, including the return of Eugenio Suárez, the addition of Josh Naylor's gritty bat, and a bullpen boost with Caleb Ferguson. No Top 100 prospects were dealt, but the impact is real.We dive into the state of the American League, why this year's parity makes the Mariners' playoff push more urgent than ever, and how the front office finally backed up its promises.

RUNDOWN   Piano lessons, online gambling in the Cayman Islands, and Louis Armstrong trivia. We've got it all. Mitch and Hotshot dissects Ichiro's Hall of Fame speech, particularly his omission of managers like Lou Piniella. Mitch and Hotshot Scott unpack the Mariners' blockbuster moves—bringing back Eugenio Suarez and adding Josh Naylor at the trade deadline—instantly transforming a middling offense into one of the most dangerous in baseball. They contrast the current optimism with the baffling decision to trade Suarez last year for pennies, which may have cost the team a playoff spot. With Bryce Miller returning to form after injury and the offense now averaging nearly five runs per game, the duo argues that anything less than a playoff berth would be a major disappointment for the 2025 Mariners. David Samson join Mitch and reflects on his relationship with Ichiro Suzuki after being name-checked in Ichiro's Hall of Fame speech — including a humorous jab at the Miami Marlins. Samson details their deep personal friendship, Ichiro's elite preparation and humility, and why he believes Ichiro still deserves a roster spot even today. The conversation pivots to MLB trade deadline winners and losers, with Seattle emerging as a serious AL contender, and whether Cal Raleigh's heroic season could translate into an MVP — if Judge stumbles. Samson also criticizes the anonymous voter who snubbed Ichiro from a unanimous Hall induction, calling it “cowardice. Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas (Mariners No-Table) break down Seattle's pivotal week: winning three of four against Texas, the return of Eugenio Suarez, and a stretch that has them closing in on the AL West lead. The trio analyzes the revamped lineup, including Julio's hot August and Randy Arozarena in the leadoff spot, while also addressing Cal Raleigh's slump and bullpen concerns. They assess Bryce Miller's return timeline, why the team passed on Jhoan Duran, and whether George Kirby and Logan Gilbert can anchor the final playoff push. Out-on-a-limb predictions and plenty of Mariner optimism round out the episode. Brady Henderson joins Mitch Unfiltered to break down the top three storylines from Seahawks training camp: the major quarterback transition from Geno Smith to Sam Darnold, a loaded and returning defensive core with a few key injury concerns, and a possible shift in the running back hierarchy as Zach Charbonnet gains favor. Henderson also highlights emerging rookie wide receiver Tory Horton as more than just a training camp darling, weighs in on trade rumors involving Micah Parsons and Terry McLaurin, and offers key insight into position group battles, injury timelines, and contract status updates.   GUESTS   David Samson | Former Miami Marlins President, Host of Nothing Personal podcast Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN.com   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mariners Fans Miss the Plot, Cayman Island Trivia, and Ichiro's Quiet Snub 26:08 | Mariners All-In: Gino's Redemption, Bryce Miller's Return, and a Loaded Lineup Sparks Playoff Hopes 41:00 | GUEST: David Samson on Ichiro's Hall of Fame Roast, Seattle's MVP Catcher, and MLB Deadline Fallout. 1:09:43 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Mariners Hit Their Stride, Gino Returns, and Julio Ignites August Surge 1:41:00 | GUEST: Brady Henderson; Seahawks Camp Buzz: QB Shakeup, Defensive Depth, and a New WR Star? 1:56:03 | Other Stuff Segment: John Schneider contract extension, Seahawks GM performance over the last 8 years, Seahawks first-round draft picks review, Russell Wilson trade, Jamal Adams trade failure, philosophical questions about GM evaluation, Shannon Sharpe ESPN departure after legal settlement, Pete Carroll's return and fan reaction, Yankees fans caught in sexual act at stadium, Marcus Morris bad check scam at Vegas casinos, Marcus Morris jail food complaint, Eric Schmidt buys Spelling Manor for $110 million, history of Aaron and Tori Spelling, Gilbert Arenas illegal gambling ring in mansion, Poltergeist house recreated as Airbnb, Scottie Scheffler wins $18 million while not playing, PGA Tour bonus payouts.

In dieser Episode von Vier Unter Deck analysieren wir die dritte Folge der fünften Staffel mit dem Titel "The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel". Das Team, bestehend aus Arne, Daniela, Boris und Tanja, taucht tief in die Handlung und die Charakterentwicklungen ein und bietet spannende Einblicke in die Episode. Wir beginnen mit einer Rückmeldung aus der Zuhörerschaft, die sich auf frühere Diskussionen bezieht. Arne hebt hervor, dass es um persönliche Entscheidungen geht, die unsere Identität prägen. Diesen Gedanken erweitern wir, um die Aspekte von Beziehung und Verantwortung innerhalb der Starfleet zu erkunden. Daniela und Boris stimmen zu, dass die Dynamik der Charaktere oft von ihren Entscheidungen geprägt wird. Über die Handlung wird die Crew der Cerritos auf ein riesiges Kreuzfahrtschiff geschickt, wo sie einen Naniten-Cluster einfangen sollen. Dies erzählt eine spannende Geschichte von Missionen und Interaktionen auf einer luxuriösen Raumstation, die von Klimazonen geprägt ist, die den Urlaubsgeschmack ansprechen. Tanja hebt die beeindruckende Animation und das Design des Kreuzfahrtschiffes hervor, während Boris eine Verbindung zu einem klassischen Film zieht, was die Tradition von Star Trek unterstützt, kulturelle Referenzen einzuflechten. Mit dem Charakter von Captain Freeman beginnen wir eine komplexe und humorvolle Erzählung um die Naniten und die Nebenhandlungen von Mariner, die in ein Beziehungsdrama verwickelt wird, als Jennifer plötzlich wieder auftaucht. Hier wird die thematische Tiefe von Star Trek verdeutlicht – die Auseinandersetzung mit persönlichen Konflikten und Emotionen, die oft in den Hintergrund geschoben werden, während die Besatzung an großen Missionen arbeitet. Arne und Daniela diskutieren das Zusammenspiel dieser Geschichten und deren Einfluss auf die Dynamik der Crew. In der Folge gibt es stärkere Charakterentwicklungen. Tendi und Rutherford zeigen Crossover-Fähigkeiten und wechselseitige Unterstützung, während Mariner und Jennifer sich mit ihrer angespannten Beziehung auseinandersetzen. Ihre Gespräche verlaufen oft humorvoll, jedoch spürbar emotional, was ihnen eine authentische Tiefe verleiht. Tanja und Boris bemerken, dass die Episode zwar einen leichten Unterhaltungswert hat, aber thematisch nicht die stärkste ist. Die zweite Handlung mit Bäumler und seinem unterhaltsamen Abenteuer auf der Skianlage bringt eine komische Note in die Episode, wo er einer Denobulanerin begegnet. Diese humorvolle Verwicklung unterstreicht die Unterschiede zwischen den Charakteren und zeigt, wie jeder von ihnen mit seinen Ängsten und Unsicherheiten umgeht. Zusammenfassend können wir festhalten, dass "The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel" unterhält und die Charaktere auf interessante Weise entwickelt. Die ernsten Themen werden jedoch oft in leicht zugängliche, humorvolle Inhalte verpackt, was der Episode sowohl Stärke als auch Schwäche verleiht. Während die Charaktere Lernprozesse durchlaufen, bleibt der Zuschauer gespannt auf das, was noch kommt, insbesondere hinsichtlich der Interaktionen und der Entwicklung von Bäumlers Charakter.

Strap on your goggles and hoist the sails, this week on Born to Watch, the crew dives into a post-apocalyptic puddle with their Waterworld (1995) Review, Kevin Costner's legendary aquatic epic that soaked Universal Studios in ambition, cash, and controversy. Whitey, G Man, and Damo reunite to wade through the waves of cinematic history, revisiting a film as infamous for its behind-the-scenes chaos as it is for its soggy storytelling.From the jump, the team questions Waterworld's place in pop culture infamy. Once touted as the most expensive movie ever made, this maritime Mad Max-on-water starred Costner at the peak of his fame, but was it his creative apex or the beginning of his soggy descent? The guys don't pull punches, balancing deep dives into production lore with their trademark irreverent humour.Whitey sets the tone by confronting the bloated ambition of the project: “Has any Hollywood star become so famous with a catalogue with so many peaks and troughs?” Cue a wide-ranging Costner retrospective, comparing the golden days of Field of Dreams and The Untouchables to the indulgent excesses of The Postman and yes, Waterworld. The verdict? Costner might've been drinking his own Kool-Aid, filtered through a urine distillation machine, of course.G Man leads the crew through the absurd plot, where the Earth is drowned, the polar caps are melted, and dry land is a mythic memory. Costner plays the Mariner, a grim, gilled loner with webbed feet and a personality drier than the lost continent he's searching for. The podcast doesn't shy away from the film's narrative flaws: characters with no backstory, Mad Max rip-offs, and a complete lack of chemistry between the leads, most notably between Costner and Jeannie Triplehorn, affectionately known as “Jeannie Triple Blurter” by the team.Speaking of performances, Dennis Hopper's turn as the Deacon is eviscerated with delight. Compared to his electric villain in Speed just a year prior, Hopper here is an oily cartoon, piloting a rust-bucket Exxon Valdez filled with chain-smoking goons. “It's a bad Beyond Thunderdome,” declares Whitey, and the panel doesn't disagree.The gang revels in the film's infamous production disasters: hurricanes, a constantly rewritten script, Costner's massive creative control, and his falling out with director Kevin Reynolds. G Man reminds us of the legendary quote about Costner directing himself: “Now he gets to work with his favourite actor and his favourite director.” Ouch.Despite the floundering script, there are moments that the Born to Watch crew appreciates. The practical effects, like the massive floating Atoll set and Costner's tricked-out trimaran, get nods of approval, even if the action sequences are undercut by choppy editing and goofy stunts. And the team can't help but laugh at the iconic “pee filtration scene,” the rope-assisted bungee jump climax, and the infamous underwater city reveal, which defies all logic and basic physics.One of the episode's standout sections is “Question Time,” where the trio tackles the film's most baffling plot points: How does the Mariner's boat outrun jet skis? How does dry land remain uninhabited? And why, oh why, would someone spend their life searching for paradise only to leave it five minutes after finding it?The boys also pay tribute to the lesser-known cast and crew: a young Jack Black in a blink-and-miss-it role, Tina Majorino (aka the Enola of Napoleon Dynamite fame), and the brilliant yet misfiring score from James Newton Howard. “He dialled it in harder than Dennis Hopper did,” quips Damo.By the end, the Born to Watch gang reaches a consensus: Waterworld is a cinematic curiosity, too ambitious to dismiss outright, too flawed to celebrate, and just insane enough to warrant a watch. Maybe once.So whether you're a fan of ‘90s action epics or just here to marvel at cinematic misfires, this Waterworld deep dive is a splash of nostalgic chaos you won't want to miss.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Is Waterworld an underrated cult classic or a floating disaster?Would you survive in a world covered by the ocean? And seriously, how does that boat outrun jet skis?#BornToWatch #Waterworld #KevinCostner #MoviePodcast #90sMovies #PostApocalyptic #DennisHopper #JeanneTripplehorn #CultClassic #MadMaxOnWater #MovieReview #PodcastLife

Marauder and Mariner of Broke Village explore the mysteries of the deep.

Live from the VMAC, Bump and Stacy recap day one of Seahawks Training Camp. They talk about the Mariner’s blowout loss yesterday, another Jets QB injury, and more in Headline Rewrites. They take a look at the MLB trade market and listen to what some experts think the Mariners will do at the deadline. And they talk about what will take the Seahawks secondary to the next level.

Salk is ready for the Mariners second half to get underway and highlights who he believes the most important Mariner will be during this stretch. Then, they re-air their conversation with Joe Buck of ESPN to discuss Cal Raleigh, the Seahawks, Sam Darnold and more.

Sixty years ago this week, the Mariner 4 probe sped past Mars, the first to succeed in this then-brash undertaking. The technology was unbelievably primitive, yet effective, sending back 22 low-resolution video frames of the Red Planet. On that day, the wee hours of July 15 at JPL in Pasadena, the Mars of the romantics died. What had long been viewed as a slightly colder, somewhat drier, near-twin of Earth ended up having just a trace of an atmosphere and looked more like the moon--bone dry and pummelled by craters. Rob Manning, JPL's Chief Engineer Emeritus, joins us for this look back at that mission and the first images returned of another planet from space. Headlines Apollo-Soyuz 50th Anniversary: Rod and Tariq marked 50 years since the historic Apollo-Soyuz docking, a significant event for international cooperation in space. Starliner: Boeing's Starliner won't fly again until early 2026, with good odds that it will be an uncrewed flight. Mars Meteorite on Earth: Tariq shared his awe-inspiring experience viewing the largest piece of Mars on Earth, a 54-pound meteorite discovered in 2023 that recently sold for $5.3 million. Main Topic - The 60th Anniversary of Mariner 4 Rob Manning, JPL Chief Engineer Emeritus: Rob Manning joins the host to discuss his extensive career working on most of NASA's Mars missions. Mariner 4's 60th Anniversary: The show's discussion highlighted the 60th anniversary of Mariner 4, which was America's first successful spacecraft to Mars. The "Death" of Mars: Mariner 4's images shattered romantic notions of Mars, revealing a cratered, arid planet with a thin atmosphere. Mariner 4's Camera Technology: Rob Manning detailed the technical challenges involved in adding a Vidicon tube TV camera to Mariner 4, emphasizing the difficulties in managing data size and ensuring functionality in space. Hand-Colored Mars Image: Scientists famously hand-colored Mariner 4's first black and white digital image. Mariner 4 Scientific Discoveries: Key scientific findings from Mariner 4 included the discovery of Mars' extremely thin atmosphere, roughly 1% the density of Earth's, and the absence of a strong global magnetic field. Challenges of Martian Landings: Rob underscores the extreme difficulty of landing on Mars due to its thin atmosphere, which rendered early concepts like glider landings impractical and dangerous. Legacy of John Casani: Rob praises the recently passed John Casani, Mariner 4's manager, for his pivotal role in advocating for the camera's inclusion and inspiring innovation at JPL. "Properly Paranoid" Approach: Rob discussed the concept of being "properly paranoid" in space engineering, stressing the importance of meticulous testing and proactive risk mitigation for high-stakes missions.

Jeff Krumpelman, chief investment strategist at Mariner Wealth Advisors, likens current markets to "clear-air turbulence," when a plane flying through blue skies winds up being buffeted by high winds and conditions that are hard to see. Weathering that wild ride, travelers can reach their destination, and Krumpelman thinks the Standard & Poor's 500 is headed to 6,600 — the same level he was forecasting at the start of the year — with 7,000 a possible high-water mark. Krumpelman says that trusting the data showing a strong economy should make investors confident that the market will overcome headline noise and turn any downturns into buying opportunities. In The NAVigator segment, Rob Shaker — portfolio manager of Shaker Financial Services — discusses "discount-capture investing," and how the market's wild moves around tariff announcements this year made the strategy particularly sensitive to the emotional changes of investors. Shaker says that discount fallout from tariff news was particularly big and fast, but conditions normalized quickly, rewarding patience and risk-taking. Plus, in the Market Call, Eric Marshall, president and portfolio manager at Hodges Capital Management, talks about bottoms-up investing and finding management with solid long-term stories that can weather current headline risk.

Sixty years ago this week, the Mariner 4 probe sped past Mars, the first to succeed in this then-brash undertaking. The technology was unbelievably primitive, yet effective, sending back 22 low-resolution video frames of the Red Planet. On that day, the wee hours of July 15 at JPL in Pasadena, the Mars of the romantics died. What had long been viewed as a slightly colder, somewhat drier, near-twin of Earth ended up having just a trace of an atmosphere and looked more like the moon--bone dry and pummelled by craters. Rob Manning, JPL's Chief Engineer Emeritus, joins us for this look back at that mission and the first images returned of another planet from space. Headlines Apollo-Soyuz 50th Anniversary: Rod and Tariq marked 50 years since the historic Apollo-Soyuz docking, a significant event for international cooperation in space. Starliner: Boeing's Starliner won't fly again until early 2026, with good odds that it will be an unmanned flight. Mars Meteorite on Earth: Tariq shared his awe-inspiring experience viewing the largest piece of Mars on Earth, a 54-pound meteorite discovered in 2023 that recently sold for $5.3 million. Main Topic - The 60th Anniversary of Mariner 4 Rob Manning, JPL Chief Engineer Emeritus: Rob Manning joins the host to discuss his extensive career working on various Mars missions Mariner 4's 60th Anniversary: The show's discussion highlighted the 60th anniversary of Mariner 4, which was America's first successful spacecraft to Mars. The "Death" of Mars: Mariner 4's images shattered romantic Mars notions, revealing a cratered, arid planet with a thin atmosphere. Mariner 4's Camera Technology: Rob Manning detailed the technical challenges involved in adding a Vidicon tube TV camera to Mariner 4, emphasizing the difficulties in managing data size and ensuring functionality in space. Hand-Colored Mars Image: Scientists famously hand-colored Mariner 4's first black and white digital image. Mariner 4 Scientific Discoveries: Key scientific findings from Mariner 4 included the discovery of Mars' extremely thin atmosphere, roughly 1% the density of Earth's, and the absence of a strong global magnetic field. Challenges of Martian Landings: Rob underscores the extreme difficulty of landing on Mars due to its thin atmosphere, which rendered early concepts like glider landings impractical and dangerous. Legacy of John Cassani: Rob praises John Cassani, Mariner 4's manager, for his pivotal role in advocating for the camera's inclusion and inspiring innovation at JPL. "Properly Paranoid" Approach: Rob discussed the concept of being "properly paranoid" in space engineering, stressing the importance of meticulous testing and proactive risk mitigation for high-stakes missions.

The first images of Mars found their way back to Earth from NASA's Mariner 4 mission on 15th July, 1965 - and were simultaneously revelatory and disappointing. Delivered as binary code, rendered in black and white, and revealing only 1% of the planet, the photos were coloured in by hand and showed no evidence of life. But they played a significant part in the scientific understanding of the Red Planet for years to come. In this episode, Arion, Olly and Rebecca compare the computing power of the 1960s with ‘lame' Victorian telescopes; reveal the surprisingly recent date that the first ever colour image of Mars was committed to camera; and explain how a mis-translation from Italian lead H.G. Wells to think there may be Martian waterways...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Evan. Zach and Max are here, but what is there to even say? Capping of a legendary, historic first half, Cal Raleigh won the Home Run Derby in underdog fashion while taking pitches from his dad, throwing to his 15 year old brother (catching) with Randy, BWoo and Munoz as his hype men. Can it get any better than this? Where does this moment rank not just in the halls of Cal Raleigh lore, but Mariner lore at large? How big is this moment in the micro and the macro? What words are there even to describe a catcher doing *gestures around* all this?

Only about one in five Americans was born before the “Mars Era” – before the first spacecraft visited the Red Planet. That first encounter took place 60 years ago today, beginning six decades of Mars exploration. Mariner 4 was launched in late 1964. A sister craft had failed. And early Soviet efforts failed as well. That inspired jokes about a “great galactic ghoul” eating Mars-bound probes. Mariner 4 had eluded the ghoul for seven months. AUDIO: Then, July 14th: Encounter Day. This is Mariner control. All systems are green. And as this NASA film explained, they stayed green. AUDIO: The shutter is operating, the TV sees the planet, the recorder is working. Mariner skimmed just 6100 miles from Mars. It snapped 21 pictures. The images depicted a landscape of craters and volcanic plains. They made Mars look like a dead planet. Yet Mars exploration continued. Later missions revealed that Mariner 4 was unlucky – it scanned an unusually desolate strip. Today, we know that Mars has an active atmosphere. Ice lurks just below its surface. And it once was warm and wet, with rivers flowing across its surface, perhaps filling a giant ocean – making Mars a possible home for life. Today, a half-dozen orbiters and rovers are exploring the planet. And others are being planned – extending a legacy of exploration that began six decades ago. Script by Damond Benningfield

A decade before Mariner 4 got to Mars (on this day in 1965), a company famous for its advertising jokingly offered its customers a chance to go to the Red Planet - and a very serious customer tried to get them to follow through. Plus: a design studio in France builds a walk-through installation out of nearly 800 old baguettes.

There are multiple different conversations about Julio: If he is underperforming, if he deserves to be an all star, and if you as a fan are happy he's going. Joe Sheehan with the Joe Sheehan newsletter joins the show to talk about the Yankees, Julio's all star candidacy, and if WAR overvalues defense and baserunning. Did the Morning Show actually agree with the Mollywhoppers? The answer is yes...somehow. John Lund from John Lund unleashed joins the show to talk about the best college football rivalries, the curious case of Mariner fans, and more. Checking the textline.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Leah Harman, known on trail as Twig. Although Twig is relatively new to the world of thru-hiking, with less than 10 years of experience, she's hit the ground running, accruing well over 10,000 miles in the process. In addition to all the usual suspects, triple crown trails, Colorado Trail, TA, Arizona Trail…Twig has also completed a number of lesser known trails, including the Mogollon Rim Trail, Bigfoot Trail, and a Desert Winter Thru-Hike from Tucson to San Diego. We of course learn all about these treks, why cows are the most dangerous animal on trail, and how she makes her perpetual hiker trash lifestyle work. Leah also recounts her past life living and working aboard ships, confirming that all the stereotypes about drunk and horny sailors are, in fact, hilariously accurate, complete with some entertaining hazing stories. We wrap the show with news of a group who trusted ChatGPT to plan their hike, and how that went terribly wrong, Chaunce details the stress associated with planning a wedding, and the triple crown of movie/tv shows that broke us.

Mariners sweep the Pirates, but somehow gain no ground on the Astros. Does being an All-Star matter? Mollywhop Monday with Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop after the Mariners go 5-2 last week, as the pitching is rounding into form, and Randy is officially heating up. The Mollywhop boys are back to talk about the Mariner All Stars and if Julio deserves to go, but more importantly, if we should care if he "deserves" it, All Star games are meant to be fun, and having more players from your team there is a good thing. Why are Mariner fans complaining about the Mariners getting more All Star players? Checking the Textline. Dick Fain joins for cross talk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Taylor Crisci is one of those women who immediately impresses you -- not only because she's smart, down-to-earth, and kind, but ALSO because she is (literally) going places and doing cool things! Amongst her adventures as a merchant mariner, she's driven through the Panama Canal, fought off pirates, and circumnavigated the world. She currently works for a research ship out of Asia, the USNS Bowditch, where she is second mate (also known as the navigator.) In other words, she is the one actually DRIVING the ship -- whether that means turning the wheel every 30 seconds or every few hours. The USNS Bowditch is civilian ship collects intelligence for the Navy to make the most accurate charts and other Navy products.For context, the merchant marines is a civilian service. 80% of goods are transported via ship, and the Navy has two offices dedicated to ocean intelligence and research. Taylor attended Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point and also commissioned (became an officer) in the U.S. Navy Reserves. She's currently a Lieutenant.During her time in one of the longest running trades in the world, she's worked on cargo vessels like: container ships, car carriers, oil tankers, cruise ships, and research vessels. This work has taken her all over the world... from the Gulf Coast of the United States, to Alaska, the North Pole, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Contact Info:Taylor Crisci - Guest@Servicesisters_  (Instagram)Julie Berman - Hostwww.womenwithcooljobs.com@womencooljobs (Instagram)Julie Berman (LinkedIn)Send Julie a text!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.
