Hour 1 Boomer and Gio are back from golfing for charity, where Gio got drunk for his birthday and sang a blues song about Matt Martin. They also hung out with Chad Smith. Sports highlights include Aaron Judge's massive homer and Aaron Rodgers' recent marriage. The Knicks coaching situation was a key topic, with Thibs, Johnnie Bryant, and Mark Jackson all discussed.

Max Fried pitched well, and Chris Russo butchered more names. Aaron Glenn joked with the media, and Jim Harbaugh discussed recent health issues. The hour concluded with a discussion of early work hours affecting evening plans and news of a hole-in-one winning an Audi at Boomer's charity event.

Last night Boomer was at the Islanders game for what was Matt Martin's final game with the team and maybe his final game in the NHL. We talked about his long career and said many nice things about him.

Gio joked about Hudson's potential post-breakup career in bikini betting picks. They discussed the controversy surrounding a Braves reporter asking a girl for her number on air.

Juan Soto noted he's being pitched differently without Aaron Judge batting behind him, which Gio sees as an explanation, not an excuse. Boomer viewed it as a compliment to Judge, not a slight to Pete Alonso, while Gio thinks sensitive fans are overreacting. Soto's presence benefits Alonso. Before Jerry's update, Gio reminisced about old wedding invites, followed by audio clips of Jerry discussing divorce. They joked about using a Chef IQ to check Boomer's fever. The Yankees won, and Matt Martin played his emotional final home game for the Islanders, with goodbye audio clips from various sports figures played. Finally, someone on X shared a Vegas flu story similar to Boomer's, and Boomer had a lunch meeting where Gustav Klimt was discussed.
Boomer is ill and his voice is weak after attending what might have been Matt Martin's final Islanders game last night, where they discussed his career.

On this week’s episode of The Cobain 50, Dusty Henry digs deep into the two Butthole Surfers albums from Kurt’s list – Pee Pee The Sailor (also known as their self-titled debut EP) and Locust Abortion Technician. In one of the more expletive ridden artists on the list, we hear about the band’s story from underground legends to surprising mainstream success.

Roddy Nikpour speaks with Josh Modell about It’s Only Right and Natural by The Frogs. By modern standards, The Frogs created cancel-able album after cancel-able album. Somehow, though, their punk innovation outshined controversy, catching attention from Eddie Vetter of Pearl Jam, Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, and so many others. The Frogs inspired weirdo art everywhere — including Kurt Cobain’s “Montage of Heck” home recordings. Modell is co-directing a forthcoming documentary about The Frogs titled after this album: It’s Only Right and Natural.

Join the Behind the Knife Bariatric Surgery Team as they kick off 2025 with a crucial discussion on pediatric and adolescent bariatric surgery. Drs. Matt Martin, Adrian Dan and Katherine Cironi delve into the latest ASMBS guidelines, comparing long-term outcomes of gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy in adolescents versus adults. They explore key comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and orthopedic issues, and emphasize the importance of early intervention. This episode also tackles the complex ethical considerations surrounding surgery in this vulnerable population, including consent, multidisciplinary care, and the evolving role of medical therapies like GLP-1 agonists. Show Hosts: - Matthew Martin - Adrian Dan - Katherine Cironi Learning Objectives: · Identify the current ASMBS guidelines for pediatric and adolescent bariatric surgery, including BMI thresholds and associated comorbidities. · Describe common comorbidities seen in the pediatric population eligible for bariatric surgery, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and orthopedic issues. · Compare and contrast long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery (gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy) in adolescents and adults, including remission rates of comorbidities and reoperation rates. · Discuss the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, including psychological and ethical considerations, when evaluating adolescent patients for bariatric surgery. · Explain the ethical framework used in evaluating adolescents for bariatric surgery, including consent/assent, parental involvement, and addressing potential coercion. · Recognize the evolving role of medical management (e.g., GLP-1 agonists) in conjunction with or as an alternative to bariatric surgery in adolescents. Article #1: Inge 2019 – Five-year outcomes of gastric bypass in adolescents as compared with adults https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31461610/ - The cumulative effect of sustained severe obesity (BMI >35) from adolescence into adulthood increases the likelihood of diabetes, hypertension, respiratory conditions, kidney dysfunction, walking limitations, and venous edema in legs/feet (when compared to adults that did not report severe obesity in adolescence) - American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) guidelines for adolescents who should be considered for bariatric surgery: BMI is ≥35 with a co-morbidity or if they have a BMI ≥40 (class 3 obesity, 140% of the 95th percentile) - This article utilizes the Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (TEENS LAB) and LABS (adults) databases to evaluate the outcomes of adolescents vs. adults who underwent bariatric surgery Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (2006-2009) - 161 adolescents (13-19 at the time of surgery) with severe obesity (BMI>35) vs 396 adults (25-50 years old at the time of surgery) who have remained obese (BMI>30) since adolescence - Both groups had the gastric bypass procedure as their primary bariatric operation - Both groups had unadjusted similar demographics, however, BMI was higher in adolescence (54) when compared to adults (51) - Results were analyzed using linear mixed and Poisson mixed models to analyze weight and coexisting conditions - After surgery, adolescents were significantly more likely than adults to have remission of type 2 diabetes and hypertension - Increased likelihood of remission of diabetes due to the shorter duration of diabetes, lower baseline glycated Hgb, less use of medications, and increased baseline C-peptide levels - Increased vascular stiffness in adults along with a longer duration of hypertension make the cessation of hypertension less responsive with surgery in adults - No significant difference in percent weight changes between adolescents and adults 5 years after surgery - Both adults and adolescent groups had decreased rates of hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL levels, albeit not significantly different when comparing the two groups - Of note, the rate of abdominal reoperations was significantly higher among adolescents (20%) than among adults (16%) with cholecystectomy representing nearly half the procedures in both groups - Limitations - At baseline, adults had a high prevalence of both diabetes and hypertension - only 14% of adolescents had diabetes vs 31% of adults - Only 30% of adolescents had hypertension vs 61% of adults Article #2: Ryder 2024 – Ten-year outcomes after bariatric surgery in adolescents https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39476348/ - The goal is to discuss the long-term durability of weight loss and remission of coexisting conditions in adolescents after bariatric surgery - This article utilizes the Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (TEENS LABS) database to evaluate the 10-year outcomes in adolescents who underwent gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy - 260 adolescents with an average age of 17 years old at the time of surgery (ages ranged from 13-19 years old) - 161 adolescents underwent gastric bypass, 99 adolescents underwent sleeve gastrectomy - Results were analyzed using propensity score-adjusted linear and generalized mixed models - At 10 years, the average BMI had decreased significantly with both groups experiencing about a 20% change in BMI on average - To assess comorbidities, both groups were analyzed together - 55% of patients who had DM2 at baseline, were in remission at 10 years - 57% of patients who had HTN at baseline, were in remission at 10 years - 54% of patients who had dyslipidemia at baseline, were in remission at 10 years - Limitations - Neither of these studies compare surgery to medical management. GLP-1s have shown promise for weight loss management but we need more data in terms of long-term outcomes in co-morbidities like diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia - Highlighted Outcomes - Metabolic bariatric surgery is quite effective in the adolescent population - Adolescents tend to have weight loss that is similar to that of adults and improved resolution of comorbid conditions (DM2, HTN, dyslipidemia) Article #3: Moore 2020 – Development and application of an ethical framework for pediatric metabolic and bariatric surgery evaluation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33191162/ - The purpose of this paper is to describe the ethical framework that supports the use of metabolic & bariatric surgery (MBS) on the principle of justice, and how providers can conduct a thorough evaluation of patients presenting for these surgeries - Highlights adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and preadolescent children who pose more ethical questions before considering surgery - This article utilizes the bariatric surgery center at one children's hospital and the institution's ethics consult service to develop an ethical framework to evaluate pediatric patients seeking bariatric surgery – using the national ASMBS guidelines - This ethical framework utilized 4 central ethical questions 1. Should any patients be automatically excluded from evaluation for MBS? 2. How should it be determined that the benefits of MBS outweigh the risks? 3. How do we ensure the patient fully understands and is capable of cooperating with the surgery and follow-up care? 4. How do we make sure the decision to have surgery is truly voluntary, and not coerced by family or others? - Results: this ethical framework was discussed in depth in two case studies - Overview of framework: an ethical question would arise from the bariatric team they would review & apply the ethical framework. The question is either resolved by the bariatric team OR ethics consult, continue pre-operative workup vs no surgery - Case 1: 17M (BMI 42) with a history of autism spectrum disorder, pre-DM, depression with behavior challenges, HTN, dyslipidemia. Testing at school demonstrates intellectual functioning at a fourth-grade level. Pt lives with mom and 11-year-old sister. Mom endorses food insecurity (on supplemental nutrition assistance benefits) and struggles with her son's large intake of food. 1. Co-morbidities should not be exclusionary, but pt should undergo a comprehensive psychosocial evaluation with attention to family dynamics and support and the patient's decision-making capacity 2. Discuss benefits vs risks. Benefits – decreased progression of DM2, HTN, hyperlipidemia, cardiometabolic dx. Risks – gastric leak, infection, bleeding, dumping syndrome, etc. 3. Can assess decision-making capacity with the surgical team or if need be other teams. In this case, the pt had limited decision-making capacity - His level of understanding remained stable during the pre-op visits, and he gave assent to surgery - The mom identified a second source of support (extended family) - The team talked to both the patient and mother alone and then, together, found that the patient developed an independent desire for surgery, and thus moved forward. - Case 2: 8F (BMI 50) with a history of mod OSA, L slipped capital femoral epiphysis s/p surgical stabilization (6 mos prior). The patient is neurotypical & excels in school, and lives with mom & dad. Referred by mom & dad (mom with a recent history of sleeve gastrectomy). 1. An 8-year-old should not be discriminated against based solely on age, but the patient should be offered more conservative/less invasive options before OR. a. In this case, the family had not yet been offered these nonsurgical approaches (structured weight management program, physical support, dietician) 2. Discuss benefits vs risks. Benefits – preventing progression of hip disease, improvement of OSA, decreased risk of cardiometabolic dx. Risks – anatomic/infectious/nutrition risks 3. Decision-making capacity was assessed. Found that the parents were more advocating for the surgery saying she has a poor quality of life physically and socially. When the patient was separated from her parents, she said she could lose weight if she had healthier foods at home and someone to exercise with. The patient had decision-making capacity & did not assent to surgery. 4. When the ethics team interviewed the patient and parents, the parents had a strong preference toward surgery vs patient was scared of surgery and wanted to try other approaches first a. Decided that the child's dissent outweighed the medical necessity for surgery and that there were conservative treatment options still available to try - Highlighted Outcomes - ASMBS guidelines give us good direction on who qualifies for surgery and emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to decision-making. The decision to pursue surgery should always weigh the benefits and risks and should be made collaboratively with the patient, family, and care team ***SPECIALTY TEAM APPLICATION LINK: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdX2a_zsiyaz-NwxKuUUa5cUFolWhOw3945ZRFoRcJR1wjZ4w/viewform?usp=sharing Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.

#711 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/711 Presented By: Pescador on the Fly, TroutRoutes, On DeMark Lodge, Four Wheel Campers When you think of a predatory fish, what are the first few species that come to mind? For many anglers, Northern Pike is among the most thrilling predators to catch. If fishing for northern pike is on your radar, today's episode is a must-listen. In this episode, we will break down sight fishing for Northern Pike with Matt Martin of Smooth River Guide. Find out his secrets to targeting big Northern Pike by sight. Here's what you'll learn: Muskie vs Pike Best time to target Northern Pike Sight Fishing Northern Pike How to Find Pike in Shallow Bays Best Flies (and color) for Northern Pike Fishing The perfect strip, and when the fish strike Episode Chapters with Matt Martin on Sight Fishing for Northern Pike Matt Martin grew up in Barrie, Ontario, and now lives in Midland, a town on the shores of Georgian Bay. Georgian Bay is known as the 30,000 Islands region. It's the world's largest freshwater archipelago. Matt guides on over 50 lakes and a dozen rivers, targeting 14 different species. Northern Pike is definitely a top species to target, but it can still vary depending on where you are in the province. Here's a breakdown of the species you can fish in the area: Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass Northern Pike – Pike season runs from May to June and then again in September. Walleye Muskie Chinook Salmon Coho Rainbow Trout Steelhead Brown Trout Muskie vs Pike Unlike pike, which are easier to catch, muskies are tough. You might not even see one all day, and the chances of getting a hit are low. Muskies are more challenging to catch because they have a lower population and a bigger home range. For those who want to target muskie, Matt recommends booking more than one day to increase your chances. Best Time to Go Fishing for Northern Pike The best time for northern pike fishing is in the spring. The season opens on May 1st in Ontario, and that's when pike are easiest to catch. Here's why: In the first week of May, pike can be found in less than two feet of water, sunbathing in sandy bottom bays. The main lake water is still cold (around 42-43°F), but the back bays warm up to the 50s. Pike use the warmer water to increase their metabolism. According to Matt, sight fishing for pike is a whole new level of fun. Sight Fishing for Northern Pike Matt uses an 18-foot Lund Deep V fishing boat for sight fishing. He says it's perfect for the larger lakes, especially when the waves get rough. Matt uses advanced gear like a Minn Kota motor and Garmin LiveScope to spot pike before casting. Fishing for Northern Pike in Shallow Bays In the spring, focus on large, warm bays, especially those near river mouths. These areas draw pike because they offer the perfect hiding spots in weeds or along logs, where pike can ambush prey. Pike are ambush predators, so they wait below the surface to attack. When fishing for pike, Matt says to keep your fly around 2 to 4 feet above the fish because pike strike from below. Best Flies for Fishing Northern Pike Matt prefers using bright, easy-to-see flies when fishing for pike, especially in spring. He avoids natural tones and uses colors like white, yellow, or bright pink. The key is using flies that mimic the white belly of baitfish. Pike are drawn to movement, so keep that fly above them and use a strip to get their attention. Stripping Your Fly for Pike The way you strip your fly is crucial for catching pike. Most strikes happen during the pause between strips, not while you're actively moving the fly. For some flies, like the Game Changer, Matt recommends a quick, short strip with a half-second pause to let the fly sink a bit. Other flies like the Yard Sale need a longer strip with a hard kick at the end to make the fly wobble like an injured fish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEUP5cEOB6M Essential Gear for Catching Big Northern Pike Pike can be super aggressive, so it's key to be prepared with the right gear to protect you and the fish. Here are some things to remember when fishing for Northern Pike: Use a large, deep net to keep the fish in the water while you unhook it. Have multiple sets of tools like jaw spreaders and pliers for safe handling. Protect the fish to make sure they're safely released after catching them. Pike can live up to 20–25 years in the wild. Matt says it's okay to keep smaller ones (around 27 inches), but those big 40-inch fish should go back in the water. If you keep one, make sure it's injured and can't survive being released. Matt's Go-to Tips for Fishing for Northern Pike Start in Shallow Bays Bring Multiple Rods and Lines Use 8-10 weight rods and carry lines with different sinking rates: floating, intermediate, type 3, and type 5. Add a 12-inch section of 20-25 lb bite wire to your leader. Short Leaders Work Best Use Durable Pike Lines Focus on bays with creeks, green weeds, and the right structure. Matt's final advice? Stick with it and have faith—pike are Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/711

It started as a glacier. Then, about 13,000 years ago, it was a trickle, then a stream, and eventually a rushing river meandering through the Olympic Peninsula. For thousands of years, life thrived off the ecosystem served by the Elwha River that fed into to the Strait of Juan De Fuca. Then it stopped. A century ago, a dam was built to harness the power of the water and convert it into electricity. The salmon that the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe relied on were cut off from their spawning grounds. Ten years ago, that dam was taken down. In this special reprise episode, we look at the impact of the dam removal and how life in and around the Elwha is fighting its way back.

Four times in the past decade Lake Abert has completely dried up, a barren lakebed encrusted with salt. Salt lakes are among the world's most threatened ecosystems. Lack of water could lead to many of these lakes permanently drying up in the American West. But there is one tiny bird that could change all that. The Wilson's Phalarope depends on salt lakes on their 6500-mile migration between North and South America. There is a movement to get the phalarope listed as a threatened species by the federal government as a way to protect the habitat they need to survive. Caroline Tracey is an environment reporter who grew up in the American West - a place that flows through so much of her work. She recently signed a book deal for a memoir about her love of salt lakes - these often-ignored ecosystems that are crucial to the world's water cycle, migratory bird populations, and human health.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park is nestled between Akron and Cleveland, Ohio. It once was an industrial wasteland, filled with debris from the nearby auto factories. The Cuyahoga river was so polluted that it literally caught fire. That fire was a moment that sparked an environmental movement. But I'm headed upstream. I'm going to follow the river and its story from its grim past to becoming a national park. We'll look at how a toxic dump was transformed into a national park and a thriving ecosystem, teaming with life. THE WILD would not be possible without listener support.
