Our hilarious guest is Kent Mercker, former MLB pitcher who spent 18 seasons in the big leagues and shared clubhouses with 17 Hall of Famers throughout his remarkable career. We dive into his experiences with Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, and Tom Glavine, getting an inside look at what made each of them such extraordinary players, competitors, and teammates. Plus, we’re never going to pass up a great Bobby Cox story, and Mercker has plenty of them. He threw a no-hitter, was part of a combined no-hitter, and accomplished something else that makes him the only player in baseball history to achieve all three. Find out what that unique distinction is in the interview. He’s also a proud girl dad, a role he considers one of his greatest accomplishments. He shares a memorable moment with Mark McGwire that we’re willing to bet you’ve never heard before, along with a Vin Scully story that absolutely gave us chills.

Welcome to Episode 148 of ShiftLess! Coming at you straight from the mobile van studio, Kevin and Chef Brad dive deep into the gear trends dominating this year's Tour Divide. From the undeniable takeover of rear racks (shoutout Tailfin) over traditional saddlebags to the absolute dominance of Vittoria Mezcals, we are breaking down what the ultra-endurance crowd is actually running.We also get into the weeds on Scott's flat-bar Scale RC—is a 20lb rigid mountain bike really a "gravel" bike?—the disruptive arrival of X-Labs and XDS in the carbon market, and why we are still waiting for that 32-inch wheel revolution to finally hit the dirt.Then, things get real as we tackle the elephant in the peloton: performance-enhancing drugs. Are massive "carbs per hour" claims and extreme ketone use just a convenient mask for a new era of undetectable PEDs? We compare modern cycling's explosive power numbers to the Lance Armstrong and Mark McGwire eras of sports.Plus, an exciting USA Trail update as the Florida segment is officially done and dusted, some pop-culture nostalgia, and Chef Brad walks us through his insane 9-course summer pop-up dinner menu.Tour Divide Gear Check: The massive shift from saddlebags to rear racks, Garmin vs. Coros Dura, and the missing 32-inch test bikes.Industry Shakeups: Scott's Scale Gravel RC blurring the MTB lines and how XDS might completely disrupt carbon bike pricing.The PED Conspiracy: A candid discussion on TRT, ketones, and whether the pro peloton is quietly slipping back into its old ways.USA Trail Update: Florida scouting is completely verified and finished.Off The Bars: Hawk attacks in the yard, 25 years of The Fast and the Furious, and Chef Brad's 95-degree friendly 9-course culinary masterclass.Tags/Keywords:Tour Divide 2024, Bikepacking Gear, Tailfin Rack, Gravel Cycling, Scott Scale Gravel RC, XDS Bikes, PEDs in Cycling, Pro Peloton Doping, USA Trail Route, Basepacking, ShiftLess PodcastIn This Episode:Shiftless Ep. 148: Tour Divide Preview, Gear Trends, 32-inch Wheels, and Doping TalkIn Shiftless episode 148, the hosts preview the Tour Divide and discuss last year's fastest time by Robin (11 days, 19 hours, 14 minutes) being ineligible due to reroutes, then review Bikepacking.com's rig data: no 32-inch bikes in the field, rear racks now dominate (about 77%) led by Tailfin, flat bars slightly outnumber drop bars, Salsa remains the biggest brand (mostly Cutthroats) though with reduced share, Mezcal tires are most common, and electronic drivetrains and Coros Dura computers are more prevalent. They debate Scott's marketing around 32-inch prototypes and a rigid flat-bar “Scott Scale Gravel RC” listed as a gravel bike, and reflect on generational gaps and monoculture. 00:00 Tour Divide Preview Kickoff00:28 Record Pace Reality Check01:20 Gear Teasers And Hot Takes03:39 Reroutes And Last Year Recap04:52 Surprise Visitor Interruption06:47 Back To Divide Gear Trends09:04 Racks Droppers And Old School12:43 Brands Tires And Bike Computers19:16 No 32s And Scott Marketing23:08 Scott Scale Gravel Confusion24:33 Generational Gap And Monoculture31:08 Cycling's Missing Youth32:21 Marketing to New Riders33:53 Scott Bike Lineup Hunt34:58 Steroids and Spectacle37:49 Is That Really Gravel40:59 Doping Returns Debate51:52 Fast and Furious Detour54:15 Better Call Saul Talk58:50 Backyard Hawks and Snakes01:00:35 USA Trail and Industry News01:04:46 Will Prices Backtrack01:05:21 China Subsidy Advantage01:06:05 Carbon Rims and Rebrands01:08:07 China vs Taiwan Fact Check01:09:39 XDS Scale and Market Reality01:11:14 E-Bike Market Direction01:13:58 Tour de France and Side Tangents01:16:47 Wildlife Yard Interlude01:19:15 Pop-Up Dinner Menu Breakdown01:23:15 Rides Weather and Moto Luggage01:26:02 Tour Hype and Doping Debate01:34:45 Where Supplements Become Doping01:38:25 Lance Era Doubt and Wrap-Up

It happened this show, trying to recall a famous name from the 1990s and going through the steps with your mind to get there. Is it Alzheimer’s? No, and Dr. Kimberly Mueller, an associate professor at UW-Madison and researcher at the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, was there firsthand to explain it. Mueller joined the show ahead of her visit to town to give us a look at the current state of dementia and Alzheimer’s research. We dive into the “blood test revolution” making early detection easier, the local impact of the WRAP study at Mayo in La Crosse, and the lifestyle changes that actually work for prevention — all while getting a glimpse into how an expert in the field spends a typical day. We began the conversation by discussing why these “tip of the tongue” moments — like trying to recall the Mark McGwire using creatine to hit homers scandal — are actually a standard part of typical aging that many of us notice as early as our 40s. Mueller explains that even experts in the field experience these lapses, but she clarifies the specific “red flag” for when word-finding transitions from a normal annoyance to a medical concern. That McGwire connection led to a deeper look at the diagnostic side of the field, where simple blood tests are now replacing invasive brain scans to detect changes earlier than ever before. Much of this data comes from the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention (WRAP) — one of the largest studies of its kind — which operates a research site right here at Mayo Clinic in La Crosse. From there, the discussion shifted to the prevention side of the research, exploring why heart health and exercise are proving more effective than “brain games.” Mueller explains that while staying active might not stop the biological proteins of Alzheimer’s from forming, keeping your cardiovascular system in check is a major reason dementia prevalence is actually starting to trend downward. Lastly, we asked Mueller what a professor who researches, studies, and teaches about dementia does in a typical day. Mueller explains her expertise in studying the brain by listening to the way we speak. She breaks down how her team uses digital recordings to analyze “acoustic measures” — the subtle timing, pauses, and sounds within our speech — to identify microscopic red flags that the human ear simply cannot hear.

This epic chase to break the hollowed home run record started off with 2 known power houses , Ken Griffey Jr. and Mark McGwire chasing Roger Maris' hollowed record the previous 4 seasons .These previous outings  injected excitement back in to the sport after the catastrophic MLB strike of 1994 that cut off Griffey's record pace by 50 games and saw the cancelation of the World Series.  Fans tuned out in droves  and baseball's favor was at an all time low. Then by June of 1998 a little known Sammy Sosa threw his cap in to the race to make it a 3 man race to 62 HR's by season end. Griffey would cool down ("only" hitting 56 homers ) but Big Mac and Sammy would go neck and neck and surpass the record at 70 and 66 HR's by seasons end in dramatic exciting fashion.

Let's hear from Missouri Republican Senator Kit Bond.…. September 29th, 1998 …. the year that St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Mark McGwire captivated the sports world by hitting a then-record 70 home runs, shattering Roger Maris' 1961 record of 61: "Mark McGwire is a man of immense physical stature, conditioning and strength. When I met him I was overwhelmed with his size and muscle. But he is a man of great mental dedication, of great concentration, determination, and--reading the column in today's Washington Post by Tom Boswell--probably possessing other extraordinary capabilities of which we mere mortals cannot be aware." That quote from Senator Bond reminds us of something happy: It's the beginning of the baseball season. But also, something sad: Senator Bond citing the Washington Post sports page reminds us: there used to be a Washington Post sports page. Now, it's gone. But we bring it back for the annual "Extreme Mortman" baseball episode. How do we pull that off? By hearing Congress talk about the Post sports section – and its writers … What have members of Congress said about the Washington Post sports section? Which Washington Post sports writers have been recognized by Congress? And what do they all say about baseball. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast, Kenny dives into one of baseball's most debated legacies — the career of Sammy Sosa. Once one of the most electrifying sluggers in the game, Sosa captivated fans during the historic home run chase with Mark McGwire during the 1998 season, helping bring baseball back into the spotlight after the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike. But despite hitting 609 career home runs, winning the 1998 NL MVP, and becoming a global icon with the Chicago Cubs, Sosa still remains on the outside looking in when it comes to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Why hasn't one of the most prolific power hitters in history been inducted? Kenny examines the numbers, the controversy surrounding baseball's steroid era, and the complicated legacy that has kept Sosa out of Cooperstown. Is he a Hall of Famer who has been unfairly judged, or does the era he played in define how history remembers him? Join Kenny as he breaks down The Hall of Famer That Wasn't: Sammy Sosa. ⚾

Redick? Bucky Brooks takes the baton for the final lap, covering all things NFL Combine, featuring Jeremiyah Love, Sonny Styles, and a highly rated prospect who actually wants to play in Cleveland.

Hawk recaps the first 48 minutes of a recent Joe Rogan Experience episode featuring comedian Jim Brewer, and it does not disappoint. Joe Rogan and Jim Brewer open with the redacted Jeffrey Epstein autopsy report, zeroing in on a medical detail — Epstein allegedly had no prostate — while the body that was autopsied reportedly did. That discrepancy fuels a lengthy Epstein body double theory, with Rogan firmly believing Jeffrey Epstein is alive and living in Israel. A newly surfaced DOJ email in which an assistant US attorney refers to investigating the murder of Jeffrey Epstein adds another layer to the confusion, since Rogan and Brewer don't even think Epstein is dead. The Epstein files also reference hidden hard drives stashed in storage units across the country, which somehow leads Rogan into a rant about Storage Wars being fake. The conversation then shifts to baseball, steroids, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, and the Balco lab before arriving at what Hawk calls the centerpiece of the episode: the Tall Biden Conspiracy. Jim Brewer believes Joe Biden has been dead for years, replaced by a taller body double in a Biden mask whose gait, height, and eye color were all noticeably different from the real Biden. Rogan conducts a full physical analysis of video footage. Neither man detects the irony of warning against conspiracy theories moments later. Hawk reflects on his own history with the Joe Rogan podcast, including a 2020 episode with Dr. Michael Osterholm that accurately predicted COVID's devastating toll — before Rogan went off the rails with COVID conspiracies, antivax rhetoric, and guests like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Robert Malone.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MENORES 2026“HEROES Y VILLANOS”Narrado por: Tatania DanielaDesde: Juliaca, PerúUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church12 DE ENEROUN HÉROE QUE DA DE COMER«Y dirá el Rey a los que estén a su derecha: "Vengan ustedes, los que han sido bendecidos por mi Padre; reciban el reino que está preparado para ustedes desde que Dios hizo el mundo. Pues tuve hambre, y ustedes me dieron de comer; tuve sed, y me dieron de beber; anduve como forastero, y me dieron alojamiento. Estuve sin ropa, y ustedes me la dieron; estuve enfermo, y me visitaron; estuve en la cárcel, y vinieron a verme"» (Mateo 25: 34-36).Quizás los logros mejores recordados de Samuel Peralta Sosa, cono¬cido popularmente como Sammy Sosa, tienen que ver con su carrera en el béisbol. Sosa fue un tremendo beisbolista dominicano cuyos batazos mandaban las pelotas a las gradas con inusual frecuencia. Uno de sus mejores años, tal vez el mejor, fue 1998 cuando registró 66 cuadrangulares en la temporada. Este es un logro que valió una ovación durante 6 minutos de pie por sus fans en Chicago. En junio de ese año, Sosa consiguió 20 cuadrangulares. Ningún pelotero ha marcado más jonrones en un mes hasta ahora.Ese año, Sammy Sosa no ganó el título como el bateador que produjo más jonrones en la temporada; quien ganó fue Mark McGwire con 70 jonrones. Sería hasta el año 2000 cuando Sosa se llevaría el título de más jonrones producidos en una temporada con 50. Lo interesante de esto fue el comportamiento de estos jugadores en la competencia por ser el mejor, mientras que los medios incitaban una riña con sus comentarios. Cabe decir que ambos jugadores estaban orgullosos el uno del otro y manifestaban disfrutar la competencia sanamente. Sosa fue nombrado el jugador más valioso de la Liga Nacional de Béisbol el 20 de noviembre de 1998.Ese año, el huracán George barrió con severidad la República Dominicana dejando a más de 100 000 personas sin hogar. La escasez de alimento y sitios de refugio impuso un estado terrible en el país. Sosa jugó un papel clave en la provisión de alivio a las víctimas del desastre. A través de la Cruz Roja, Sosa hizo llegar a su país, en conjunto, más de 30 toneladas de frijol y arroz y muchos toneles de agua purificada.Precisamente en el mes de junio de 1998, cuando marcó su mejor récord al bate, Sosa organizó la Fundación de Caridad Sammy Sosa con el propósito de fomentar la educación y la calidad de vida de los niños en República Dominicana y Estados Unidos. Mediante esta fundación, Sosa recolectó más de 700 000 dólares para su país y para otros países latinoamericanos en necesidad.Sammy Sosa cumplió mejor el rol de héroe cuando ayudó a sus semejantes que cuando hacía cuadrangulares. Si bien es muy satisfactorio lograr proyectos personales en la vida, a la vista del cielo tiene mejor reconocimiento el hacer cosas buenas por los demás.

In Amount of Baseball (14:41), they discuss the use of actual Mark McGwire footage, the strength of this tool throughout, and the impact of the authenticity. There is a player comp. Baseball Accuracy (20:39) starts off with discussion of Billy Crystal as Mantle's friend and "Rain Man" on set, and then delves into the history, talking about Ford Frick, Fay Vincent, and the asterisk itself, Roger Maris and Babe Ruth plate appearances, Maris and Mantle's relationship with the press, Pascual or Ramos, the imbalanced AL/NL in 1961, Babe Ruth breaking Ned Williamson's record, Maris trade rumors, Mantle running to first in three seconds, Joe DiMaggio Jerk-o-meter, Moose Skowron, Elston Howard, Billy Martin escapades, Maris signing an X on a ball, Rogers Hornsby, Casey Stengel and Mantle, the slick nickname, Mantle's arm injury, Hoyt Wilhelm and Tom Candiotti. Storytelling (54:16) considers everything added by the inclusion of the McGwire framing device, the function of Claire Ruth and Pat Maris in the story, the opening day scene, and the handling of exposition. There are a few small instances of Shakespearing. The scouts discuss the nuanced depiction of male friendship, the character of the media, the character of Bob Cerv, and the cinematography and lighting. The Score Tool (1:24:53) discusses the main theme, the volume of the score, and songs by The Ventures, Bobby Darin, and the Shirelles. Why TF is there a Lyle Lovett song? Acting (1:31:20) pretty much worships Barry Pepper, Thomas Jane, Bruce McGill, Michael Nouri, Richard Masur, Peter Jacobson, Seymour Cassel, Chris Bauer, Anthony Michael Hall, Christopher McDonald and Joe Grifasi, plus the rest of the ensemble.

Delightfulness of Announcer (1:52:44) revels in both the accuracy and the high delight of the depictions of Phil Rizzuto, with all of his Rizzuto catchphrases and digressions, and Mel Allen trying to reign him in. Ellen has a (Rizzuto-esque?) digression into a comparison with "Eight Men Out." In Lack of Misogyny (1:59:51), they discuss Mantle's womanizing, and how it's tempered with Maris's point of view, consideration of Pat's perspective, and the existence of female fans.

Join the Veterans Breakfast Club for an unforgettable evening with Colonel John R. Bates, USMC (Ret.), whose extraordinary 39-year career in the United States Marine Corps (1966–2005) spans three wars, five decades, and a lifetime of service defined by courage, conviction, and grit. Col. Bates enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1966, dropping out of college to join the fight in Vietnam. There, as a young infantryman with Company G, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, he endured some of the most harrowing combat of the war—earning three Purple Hearts for wounds suffered in battle. The first came when he was struck in the chest by machine-gun fire—“like standing over home plate with Mark McGwire swinging for the fences,” he recalls. The second came from a hand grenade explosion that drove searing shrapnel into his leg. The third was the most brutal: he fell into a North Vietnamese punji pit and was impaled through the foot by a three-foot bamboo stake, coated with water buffalo manure to ensure infection. After spending 23 days in intensive care, Bates defied medical orders, walked out of the hospital in a pair of boots and a hospital gown, caught a ride to the airfield, and returned to his platoon—still spitting up blood. “They needed more trigger-pullers,” he said simply. But the Marine Corps discharged him less than two years into his enlistment due to the severity of his wounds. He refused to stay out. Over the next seven years, Bates earned a bachelor's and two master's degrees while working as a brakeman, heavy equipment operator, and substitute teacher. All the while, he trained daily to prove he still had what it took to wear the uniform. He submitted five applications for readmission to the Corps—finally earning acceptance in 1975, not by sympathy, but by sheer persistence. “Quite honestly, I think I wore them down,” he said. As an officer, Col. Bates served around the globe, including in Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He held numerous command positions, culminating in a dramatic parachute landing into his own retirement ceremony in 2005 at Camp Pendleton. Along the way, he promoted his own son to the rank of Marine captain, honoring a legacy of service that began with his father, Leland Bates, who flew 51 combat missions in World War II.

BT and Sal vented their frustration over how the Steroid Era has tainted Aaron Judge's latest achievement of reaching 50 home runs for the fourth time in his career, a mark only previously reached by Babe Ruth, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire. The hosts argued that by including Sosa and McGwire, whose numbers are linked to performance-enhancing drugs, MLB is unfairly diluting Judge and Ruth's honest accomplishments. They demanded that baseball stop acknowledging the "cheaters" in historical contexts, as it clouds the impressive nature of Judge's clean-slate success and sends a confusing message to new generations of fans.
