CONTENTS JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-26-2026.832Greenwich Observatory (Robert Chambers, p.200, 1832) - Copy.pngJohn Batchelor and Michael Bernstam analyze the revenue-sharing deal between Iran and Oman over the Strait of Hormuz, which does not resolve the critical global refinery shortage. Decades of zero Western refinery expansion, alongside Ukrainian drone strikes disabling Russian capacity, has left a global deficit of 5.6 to 6 million barrels per day of refined products. This is especially severe for diesel, which requires heavy crude unlike the light sweet crude produced by the US shale revolution. With U.S. refineries running at maximum capacity, the threat of mechanical failures risks a full-blown supply crisis. (1)Richard Reinsch discusses the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and their principles, which advocate for economic collectivism, nationalizing private industries, and dismantling the U.S. constitutional republic in favor of a unicameral legislature. Reinsch contrasts this with a historical 1922 Kremlin conversation where Soviet leader Joseph Stalin accused American communist Jay Lovestone of "heresy" for arguing "American exceptionalism"—the idea that American working-class prosperity made them resistant to Marxism. Today, Reinsch views the DSA as an overeducated, white, urban phenomenon failing to win working-class or minority voters. (2)Rogier Windhorst and David Livingston: Professor Windhorst warns that the Hubble Space Telescope's orbit will begin to decay uncontrollably by September 2033 due to solar maximum atmospheric expansion. To prevent a hazardous, uncontrolled re-entry, Windhorst advocates for a robotic servicing mission to boost Hubble's orbit. As the only remaining telescope with precise blue-ultraviolet capabilities, Hubble's data remains critical and heavily in demand. Windhorst urges NASA to fund a $100 million rescue mission and eventually construct the Habitable Worlds Observatory to search for Earth-like exoplanets starting in 2040. (3)David Hebert discusses the fiscal debates surrounding Social Security's impending 2032 shortfall. Hebert refutes the idea that raising tax rates increases treasury revenue, noting that tax revenue historically remains constant at 17–18% of GDP because high rates prompt tax avoidance. Instead of "starving the beast" of resources, Hebert advocates for "starving the beast of responsibility" by decentralizing programs through federalism to cut administrative costs. He urges structural reforms to Social Security, highlighting that the ratio of workers supporting each retiree has plummeted from 40-to-1 down to 2-to-1. (4)Captain James Fanell (US Navy, retired), co-host Gordon Chang: Fanell warns that China is nearing completion of a military installation on Triton Island in the Paracels, expanding its "ring of control" in the South China Sea. He cautions that China may soon fortify Scarborough Shoal, threatening to block the northern South China Sea and degrade U.S. naval operations. In response to this rising coercion, the Philippines is boosting its 2027 defense budget by 6.3%, allocating $800 million for modernization with a heavy focus on intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance drones. Fanell urges more assertive naval cooperation to deter further Chinese expansion. (5)Dean Cheng, co-host Gordon Chang: Cheng analyzes China's space program and its pursuit of reusable booster technology to match SpaceX's cost-saving launch cadences. Although China has successfully recaptured first-stage boosters, it has not yet demonstrated refurbishing or reusing them. Cheng notes that China seeks space dominance to deploy six mega-constellations and establish moon colonies. He suggests that a delay in China's lunar south pole probe—officially blamed on solar exposure—is likely due to the ongoing accident investigation of the Long March 7 rocket failure. Cheng predicts a Chinese astronaut will walk on the moon by December 31, 2030. (6)Charles Burton, co-host Gordon Chang: Burton discusses the escalating trade war between Canada and the Trumpadministration, which triggered $20 billion in Canadian retaliatory tariffs and a 7.5 billion CAD business support package. The dispute has sparked public anti-Trump sentiment and personal mudslinging between Donald Trump and Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Stalled negotiations, compounded by unacceptable U.S. demands regarding French labeling laws, have shattered bilateral trust. Burton warns that Canada is prepared to pivot away from MAGA toward free trade with Europe and China, despite severe risks of Chinese economic coercion. (7)Jack Burnham outlines China's persistent military coercion campaign targeting Taiwan, noting that Beijing separates economic trade truces from its aggressive goal to subjugate the island. China's provocations, including Coast Guardpatrols east of Taiwan and flights over the median line, are designed to establish a "new normal." In December 2025, China responded to an $11 billion U.S. arms package by launching "Justice Mission 2025," an expansive military exercise simulating blockades and practicing "all-dimensional deterrence" to discourage U.S. intervention and test regional capabilities. (8)Doug Messier details SpaceX's plans to build "Starbase Louisiana," a massive $100 billion, 125,000-acre spaceport designed as the world's largest launch facility. Scheduled for construction in 2027 and launches by 2029, the facility will feature ten launch pads supporting thousands of annual, airline-style Starship flights. While bringing thousands of jobs, the coastal development raises environmental concerns regarding wetland habitats, which SpaceX has pledged to help restore. Messier also highlights Space Force's startup funding arm, SpaceWERX, which is fostering new aerospace innovators like Antares Nuclear and Muon Space. (9)Jeremy Zakis reports on the unprecedented rainfall sweeping across Australia, driven by a super El Niño cycle interacting with the Indian Ocean Dipole. South Australia and Adelaide experienced the heaviest downpours, breaking monthly rainfall records in a single day, while Sydney's infrastructure coped with several inches of rain. Victoria and Melbourne were largely spared due to the Great Dividing Range acting as a barrier. Zakis warns that weekly spring rains are highly unusual and threaten to fuel rapid forest undergrowth, which could dry out and create a dangerous bushfire hazard during future droughts. (10)

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan who enjoy teaching astronomy classes and showing the public views through their telescopes. actualastronomy@gmail.com On Episode 547 of Actual Astronomy, hosts Chris and Shane guide listeners through observing an array of August Messier objects across the constellations Ophiuchus, Scorpius, and Sagittarius. The show details viewing techniques for globular and open clusters—highlighting targets like the egg-shaped globular M19, the historical Ptolemy's Cluster (M7), and the beginner-friendly M23. Additionally, they explore iconic Milky Way nebulae, including the active star-forming Lagoon Nebula (M8) and the nearby Trifid Nebula (M20) with its distinctive three-lobed dark dust lanes. 1. M10 & M12 (Globular Clusters in Ophiuchus) - Binoculars: Sweeping through central Ophiuchus reveals these two bright globulars in the same binocular field. They appear as soft, distinct bluishgray spheres. - Telescope: In an 8-inch telescope, M12 resolves well into individual stars across its core, while M10 appears somewhat more tightly packed, brighter toward the center, and slightly fuzzier at the edges. - Compare the two side-by-side: Despite being located near each other in our sky, M12 has lost a significant portion of its lower-mass stars due to repeated passages through the Milky Way's dense galactic disk. 2. M107 (Globular Cluster in Ophiuchus) - Binoculars: A challenging target for binoculars; requires dark skies and averted vision to spot as a minute, faint smudge. - Telescope: Small-to-medium telescopes reveal a delicate, somewhat un-concentrated patch of light with a loose core. - M107 contains noticeable dark dust lanes or obscuring regions, which is relatively rare for a globular cluster, giving it a unique visual texture in medium-to-large scopes. 3. M9 (Globular Cluster in Ophiuchus) - Binoculars: Similar in scale to M107, though slightly brighter and easier to catch in 10x50s on a clear night. - Telescope: Small scopes show a bright, unresolved central nucleus surrounded by a faint, grainy halo. - M9 is located remarkably close to the Galactic Centre—only about 5,500 light-years away from it. It lies near dark nebulae like Barnard 64, making the surrounding starfield visually compelling. 4. M19 & M62 (Globular Clusters in Ophiuchus) - Binoculars: Separated by about 4 degrees, both fit easily into a standard binocular field of view south of M10/M12. They look like round, soft patches brightening toward their centers, with M19 appearing noticeably brighter. - Telescope: Smaller telescopes show compact, fuzzy disks. Moderate magnification begins resolving outer stars on both. - M19 is famous for being one of the most distinctly oblate (egg-shaped) globular clusters known, likely due to tidal forces from its proximity to the galactic core. - M62 has an asymmetric core, heavily deformed by galactic tidal forces, and hosts a rich population of millisecond pulsars. 5. M6 (The Butterfly Cluster) & M7 (Ptolemy's Cluster) Scorpius - Naked Eye: Both are bright and obvious to the naked eye under dark skies near the "stinger" of Scorpius. - Binoculars: Binoculars provide the absolute best view. Both clusters fit together in a wide 10x50 field. M7 is larger and brighter; M6 displays a striking butterfly-like star arrangement. - M7 is one of the oldest recorded deep-sky objects, noted by Ptolemy in 130 AD. - The orange giant star BM Scorpii, which sits on the wing of the "Butterfly" in M6 and adds a nice pop of stellar color contrast. 6. M8 (The Lagoon Nebula) Sagittarius - Naked Eye: Appears as a distinct, hazy patch in the Milky Way band above Scorpius. - Binoculars: Shows as a huge, glowing oval patch—larger than the full Moon—with several bright stars embedded within it. - Telescope / Filters: A UHC or O-III filter enhances the dark dust lane ("the lagoon") bisecting the bright nebulosity. - M8 is an active star-forming region containing Bok globules (collapsing clouds of protostellar gas) and the famous "Hourglass Nebula" region at its core. 7. M20 (The Trifid Nebula) Sagittarius - Binoculars: Located just 1.4 degrees northwest of M8. Appears as a faint, ghostly glow surrounding a central triple/multiple star system. - Telescope: Medium scopes under dark skies reveal the dark dust lanes splitting the bright emission portion into three distinct lobes. - M20 is a rare "triple threat" nebula containing an emission nebula (red in photos), a reflection nebula (blue in photos), and a dark dust lane network (Barnard 85) that gives it its name. 8. M21 (Open Cluster) Sagittarius - Binoculars: Situated right next to M20. Appears as a small, compact, bright knot of stars. - Telescope: Low-power views easily resolve 20–30 stars packed tightly together. - The "Trifid Trio": In wide-field eyepieces or binoculars, you can view M8, M20, and M21 all in a single field of view, offering one of the most spectacular Milky Way vistas available to visual observers. 9. M23 (Open Cluster) Sagittarius - Telescope: Low magnification is key. Small telescopes easily resolve over 80–100 stars spread across a wide field in subtle arc-like patterns. - M23 sits against a rich background Milky Way star field, making low-power wide-field views ideal. It is an excellent target for beginners practicing star-hopping in northern late-summer skies.

Less than 1% of breast cancer diagnoses belong to men—leaving a Jake Messier on a mission to demand representation in a system that often forgets they exist.Jake Messier, a former Marine and marketer turned patient advocate living with stage IV male breast cancer, joins Brigitte Cutshall to talk about finding a lump while putting on deodorant, navigating the isolated reality of a traditionally female-centered diagnosis, and confronting the reality that male breast cancer cases have gone largely unstudied for decades. Jake shares how he turned his diagnosis into advocacy, becoming the first male patient appointed to a Susan G. Komen board, and opens up about vulnerability, finding daily joy, and making every moment count.3 Takeaways:(1) Male breast cancer is rare (about 1 in 726 men) but under-researched — there's never been dedicated funding comparing male vs. female cases.(2) Social stigma, not disease severity, drives higher mortality in men — most boys are never taught to check for lumps the way girls are.(3) Saying your scariest fears out loud — to a partner, a doctor, anyone — takes away their power.Follow Jake on TikTok and Instagram @theguywithstage4breastcanceror visit theguywithstage4breastcancer.com for resources and direct support.

From my perspective as a retired NYPD sergeant, this filing looks less like the discovery of a completely new suspect and more like an attempt to attack the legal process that produced the conviction.That does not mean the court should ignore his allegations.Every defendant is entitled to competent counsel and a constitutionally valid plea.If his attorneys withheld genuinely exculpatory evidence or made materially false representations, the court must investigate that.But a defendant cannot knowingly answer every plea question, obtain the benefit of avoiding death and later erase the agreement simply because he dislikes prison or believes public attention has created a new opportunity. Kohberger's credibility is now central. The judge will have to compare the man who admitted guilt in court with the man who now claims that his innocence is “his truth.” Courts deal in evidence—not personal truth.

This week on **OoohTheyFunny**, the crew dives into the latest developments in the Nolan Wells case, breaking down the newly enhanced phone call, conflicting timelines, the independent autopsy, and the growing public debate as the case heads to a grand jury. They discuss how much weight should be given to unverified evidence, the responsibilities of friends after a tragedy, and whether social media helps uncover the truth or only adds more confusion. Then, the mood shifts with a hilarious round of **Tough Decisions**, where the hosts are forced to make impossible choices—from escaping a gorilla or surviving a great white shark, to choosing between $50 million and the people they love, proving that sometimes the funniest conversations come from the hardest decisions.
FILE 13. Headline: Starship Test 13: Success and Challenges in Reusability Guest: Doug Messier Summary: SpaceX's Starship Test 13 achieved a controlled landing of the spacecraft in the Indian Ocean, though the Super Heavy booster exploded during its Gulf landing. Doug Messier explains that while the mission successfully deployed Starlink satellites, the FAA remains concerned about future overland flights. The ultimate goal is full reusability for NASA's upcoming lunar missions and upgrading the capacity of the Starlink network for laser communications.
The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan who enjoy teaching astronomy classes and showing the public views through their telescopes. actualastronomy@gmail.com Description: This month we talk about some of the globular clusters from the Messier catalogue you can easily see on summer nights. From big and bright M5 and M4 to small and mighty M80 we talk about viewing some of the best globular clusters of the year. We also talk about a large, faint face on spiral galaxy. All of these objects are possible with binoculars, most are down right easy even with small binoculars. M3 This globular cluster in Canes Venatici is one of the brightest objects in the sky. In binoculars this object is definitely not star like, but more of a bright, small snowball easy to see. Small telescopes will begin to resolve M3 into individual stars. The hardest part of this object is locating it in a portion of sky that contains few bright landmarks. M53 Another globular cluster in Canes Venatici. While not quite as big or bright as M3 it is still an obvious binocular object. Resolvable in small telescopes, it as easy object to find sharing the same low power telescope field as fifth magnitude Alpha Coma Berenices. M5 A big, bright globular cluster located in Serpens Caput. M5 is as nice as M3 but lies near a fifth magnitude naked eye star (5 Serpentis) making it an easy object to find. M68 An eighth magnitude globular cluster in Hydra, M68 is a difficult binocular object for Northern observers. It appears as a faint fuzz spot in binoculars, you may need to use averted vision or large binoculars to find this one. Appearing as a round fuzzy patch in a 8" telescope, you will need a much larger aperature to really resolve it. M83 A face on spiral in Hydra. M83 is fairly easy in binoculars as a faint, fuzzy patch of light. In a telescope look for a large patch of light with a bright center. M4 A big bright globular in Scorpius, easily located near Antares. This is an easy binocular object appearing as a round snowball. Partially resolvable in a telescope, the trade mark of this globular is a line of bright stars crossing the center. M80 This is the smallest and faintest globular cluster this month. Located in Scopius, M80 is a very tough binocular object appearing as a faint star with slight fuzziness around the edges. This is confirmed with a telescope, M80 has a bright central condensation in the middle of faint fuzz. It is one of the Messier objects that even through a medium telescope still looks like a comet.

Then he talks with Michael Beckel, an expert on campaign finance, about the dark money pouring into the Flanagan/Craig primary campaign and if there's anything that can be done to slow it down or find out where its coming from.
Chris and Shane discuss well placed Messier objects to observe in July.
The Sino-American Lunar Race for Permanent Presence. Rick Fisher and Doug Messier. China aims for a permanent lunar presence at the South Pole to potentially deny access to other powers. NASA is countering with a civilian coalition of private partners like SpaceX to develop sustainable infrastructure for future Mars missions. China'sarchitecture mimics Soviet systems, while NASA's Starship requires complex orbital refueling to reach the moon. (15)
Risk Aversion and Logistical Timelines for Moon Landings. Rick Fisher and Doug Messier. The Chinesespace program is highly risk-averse to protect the Communist Party's legitimacy. While NASA is "game on," it faces challenges with the Starship lander, which reportedly requires at least 15 refueling launches per mission. China hopes for a manned landing by 2030, while NASA's 2028 timeline remains subject to potential delays. (16)

# SEO-Friendly Podcast Episode Description ## James Webb Space Telescope's Latest Discoveries: Galaxy Mergers, Black Holes & Cosmic Mysteries | The Space Cowboy Podcast Saddle up for an exciting journey through the cosmos with The Space Cowboy as we explore the groundbreaking discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). In this episode, we unpack the latest astronomical breakthroughs that are reshaping our understanding of the universe. **Featured Discoveries:**
In this episode, Ray Cochrane unpacks how two colliding black holes revealed a whirlpool in spacetime, a direct detection of frame dragging hidden in the cleanest gravitational-wave signal ever recorded. Additional stories cover the James Webb Space Telescope, counting 16.5 million stars in the Cigar Galaxy, SpaceX rolling out Starship V3, deadly back-to-back earthquakes in Venezuela, GitHub fighting a California law that could break open source, and Meta engineering a battery narrow enough to live in a pair of glasses. – Want to start a podcast?

He recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Portland State University, celebrated with family in town, and launched a new site at rayc.world. That site links to a final-project study he built on collaborative filtering using podcasting data, hosted at cohort.rayc.world and drawn from OP3 analytics. He also plans to return to the show’s classic twice-weekly cadence on Mondays and Thursdays. From there, he goes deep on a new black hole discovery, then pivots through space, earth science, climate, biotech, open source, cloud infrastructure, and consumer hardware. Colliding Black Holes Reveal a Whirlpool in Spacetime Two black holes spiraled together, merged, and sent a gravitational wave rippling across the universe. Researcher Neil Lu and colleagues at the Australian National University found the fingerprint of frame dragging buried in GW250114, the cleanest signal LIGO has ever recorded. Frame dragging means a spinning black hole drags spacetime around with it, like a spoon turning in honey, except the honey is reality itself. Remarkably, the wave changed the distance between your nose and your ear as it passed, by far less than the width of a single atom.

Webb Counts the Stars in the Cigar Galaxy NASA released a striking new James Webb Space Telescope view of Messier 82, the edge-on galaxy nicknamed the Cigar Galaxy. Because Webb sees in infrared, it peers straight through the dust that normally hides the galaxy’s interior. Combined with archival Hubble data, the image resolves roughly 16.5 million individual stars. M82 is a starburst galaxy, meaning it forms stars at a furious rate, a frenzy likely triggered when it merged with a neighbor. SpaceX Rolls Out Starship V3 SpaceX officially introduced Starship V3, the third generation of the largest rocket ever built. The vehicle now flies on the Raptor 3 engine, pushing liftoff thrust to around 20 million pounds and making it the most powerful rocket ever flown. More importantly, V3 is designed to carry over 100 metric tons to low Earth orbit while staying fully reusable, roughly triple the previous version. SpaceX also added in-orbit refueling hardware, the capability that finally makes operational Moon and Mars missions realistic. The Asteroid Barrage That Kept Earth From Forming Continents A team led by Curtin University and the Queensland University of Technology argues that relentless asteroid impacts shaped the very young Earth. During the Hadean, more than four billion years ago, the planet was struck far more often than it is today. Each impact dumped heat deep into the interior, repeatedly melting and reworking the crust. Consequently, stable continents formed much later than calmer models assumed, painting a picture of a hotter, weaker, more chaotic early Earth. Back-to-Back Earthquakes Devastate Northern Venezuela Northern Venezuela was struck by two major earthquakes on June 24, a magnitude 7.2 foreshock followed by a magnitude 7.5 mainshock. Both hit only about six miles underground, so the shallow shaking delivered its full force at the surface. Tragically, at least 164 people died, and the region sits along the tangled boundary where the Caribbean and South American plates grind past each other. These were the largest quakes to hit the area since a magnitude 7.7 event near Caracas in 1900. The ‘Guerrilla Solar’ Era Has Arrived A quiet energy shift, nicknamed “guerrilla solar,” is spreading across Europe. These small plug-in panels deliver power to a home’s wiring via a standard wall outlet, with no electrician or permit required. Germany now counts roughly a million of these systems. However, the U.S. payoff remains modest, with savings estimates of around $15 per month against a $500 to $1,500 setup cost. Why a Broken-Up Forest Stores Less Carbon Researchers quantified what foresters long suspected: an intact forest stores far more carbon than the same acreage split into fragments. A hectare inside a large, continuous forest proved about 38 percent more productive than an isolated one. The culprit is edge effects, the extra wind, heat, and direct sun that stress trees at a forest’s boundary. Because a large forest maintains a large protected core while fragments are nearly all edge, planting trees together matters for carbon storage. Edited Human Embryos Reveal a Surprise Researchers used base editing, a precise cousin of CRISPR that rewrites a single DNA letter without cutting the strand, in human embryos. They discovered that a protein called NANOG plays a role in early human development that it does not play in mice. In humans, switching it off still let cells form that seed the placenta and yolk sac. The finding argues that understanding human development requires studying human embryos directly, which reignites a thorny ethical debate. GitHub Fights a California Law That Could Break Open Source GitHub joined Black Forest Labs, Hugging Face, and Mozilla to push for fixes to California’s AI Transparency Act. As written, the bill could force revocation of an open-source license when a downstream user fails to meet certain obligations, which clashes with the permanent, irrevocable promise of open source. Cochrane pointed to curl and its longtime maintainer, Daniel Stenberg, warning that the rule could destabilize the supply chain on which the whole tech world runs. Instead, the coalition points to the EU’s AI Act transparency code as a saner model. Rust Opens Its Maintainers Fund The Rust Foundation launched a Maintainers Fund to pay the people who keep the language’s ecosystem healthy. Backed by RFC 3931, it establishes a funding team and a new Maintainer-in-Residence program for the often thankless work on the compiler, standard library, Cargo, and Clippy. Individuals can donate through GitHub Sponsors, while companies can sponsor there or contact the foundation directly. Cochrane urged any business that depends on open source to invest in the projects it actually uses. AWS Gives Lambda Its Own Isolated Sandboxes AWS introduced MicroVMs inside Lambda, its serverless platform. Each session runs in a dedicated micro virtual machine with no shared kernel and up to eight hours of total runtime. The feature exists for the AI era, in which applications increasingly run code written by an AI agent rather than by the developer. Use cases include AI coding assistants, data analytics platforms, vulnerability scanners, and game servers running user-supplied scripts. Meta Engineers a Battery Narrow Enough for Glasses Meta built custom steel-can battery cells as narrow as seven millimeters to fit the temple arms of smart glasses like the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Vanguards. These cells power cameras, speakers, and AI features in a space most engineers would call impossible. To prevent brownouts, Meta swapped wound electrodes for precisely die-cut stacked layers that lower electrical resistance. Now the company is spreading the technology across multiple vendors and eyeing other wearables. Polestar Gets Locked Out of the US Market Starting in 2027, Polestar will not be able to sell its new models in the United States. A federal Connected Vehicle Rule bars cars containing certain Chinese or Russian software or hardware on national security grounds. The painful irony is that Polestar moved production of the Polestar 3 to South Carolina specifically to dodge tariffs on Chinese-built EVs. Because the rule targets the technology’s origin rather than its assembly location, the company is shut out anyway. Retroid’s Pocket Nova Packs Serious Power for $229 Retroid returned with a new retro handheld, the Pocket Nova, starting at $229 with a step-up model around $269. It features a 4.5-inch AMOLED screen in a 4:3 aspect ratio, a shape well suited to classic games. On paper, it should handle GameCube- and PlayStation 2-era titles, though that remains an early expectation rather than a benchmarked promise. Retroid has earned a strong reputation for high-quality, genuinely portable consoles.

Tell me your favorite episode for the 6th anniversary show! In the 18th century, a French astronomer who was a regular comet hunter kept finding things in the sky that weren't comets, but they also weren't stars or planets. So, he created a list of these objects, not because he was trying to catalog the night sky, but rather to help other comet hunters avoid these common objects. It turned out his list consisted of some of the most incredible objects inside and outside of our galaxy.

This Father's Day episode is personal for me. I lost my brother to testicular cancer in 1993, and that loss taught me how dangerous it is when we do not talk about the cancers that catch our loved ones off guard. So I am honored to share this conversation with Jake Messier, a stage four metastatic male breast cancer advocate known on social media as The Guy With Stage Four Breast Cancer. Jake found a lump while putting on deodorant in early 2023 and, like most men, never imagined it could be breast cancer. That delay may have shaped his stage four diagnosis. In our conversation, he opens up about the isolation of being one man in a pink world, the support groups that turned him away, and the harder truth that almost no research exists on how this disease behaves differently in men, which is part of why it is roughly 30 percent more fatal in men than in women. We also talk about the work he is building now, including the Male Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the male mouse project, and a male cell line registry, plus the men's health questions so many of us carry for the people we love. His closing advice is simple. Be aware of your partner's normal, so you can recognize the abnormal. Please share this episode with the men in your life. It could be the reason one of them does not wait.

The Brendan Sorsby saga continues to take new twists as NFL teams reportedly reach out to Cincinnati looking for more information ahead of the Supplemental Draft. Sorsby's agent has claimed Cincinnati was aware of his gambling issues and failed to disclose them, while the school has strongly denied those accusations. After months of standing by Sorsby, Texas Tech ultimately decided he would no longer be part of the program, leading to his decision to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. Joe and Hollywood question why Sorsby's camp chose to reignite the controversy just as the story appeared to be fading from the spotlight, arguing the public comments have only brought more scrutiny to the quarterback. The guys also debate which NFL teams could be willing to take a chance on Sorsby's talent and whether any organization can realistically manage the off-field concerns that continue to follow him
The Knicks are NBA champions, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into what that means for Jalen Brunson's place in New York sports history. After leading the franchise to the title, Brunson's legacy is no longer just about great performances or clutch moments. It is now about whether he has climbed past some of the city's most beloved legends. The conversation turns into a passionate ranking of New York icons, from Patrick Ewing, Henrik Lundqvist, Mike Piazza and Mark Messier to Eli Manning and Derek Jeter. Evan makes the case that Brunson's championship with the Knicks carries rare weight in this city, while Tiki and the callers push back with arguments about longevity, playoff runs, star power and the lasting meaning of championships.
Jalen Brunson's championship with the Knicks sets off a heated debate about where he now belongs among New York's biggest sports legends. Evan Roberts argues that Brunson did something so rare and meaningful for the city that he has already moved past names like Eli Manning and Derek Jeter, while Tiki Barber pushes back on how quickly one title can rewrite the hierarchy. The conversation digs into what truly makes a New York icon, from championship runs and franchise droughts to star power, toughness, clutch moments and lasting love from fans. Callers jump in with passionate cases for Brunson, Eli, Messier and Jeter, turning the discussion into a larger question about whether the magnitude of saving the Knicks can outweigh longevity, rings and worldwide fame.

This episode was recorded Tuesday, June 9th, before the current 'deal' was floated. Given world events, we decided to post this episode immediately as a special release, and deal or not, this conversation is an excellent overview of the issues and stakes of this evolving situation. In a media environment constantly contradicting itself, with every side proclaiming the advantage for themselves, the reality of what's happening in the Middle East gets lost amidst the day-to-day headlines. But for analysts who have been monitoring the underlying trends of the geopolitical gameboard for years, the direction is clear: the conflict over the Strait of Hormuz will likely not fully resolve within the next few months. If we truly accept the consequences of this, how will our global economy – built on interconnected supply chains and cheap energy – adapt to a geopolitical order fracturing before our eyes? In this episode, Nate is joined by Michael Every, Global Strategist at Rabobank, for an unflinching analysis of the Hormuz crisis and the fundamental principles pointing toward the Strait's closure for several more months. Michael walks through multiple scenarios – a TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out), NATO military action, Chinese intervention behind the scenes – and explains why none of them offer an easy exit. The conversation expands to explore what this crisis means for the future of global energy trade, the emergence of rival production blocs, the collapse of demand-side macroeconomics, and the surprising potential for a more equitable world to emerge from the chaos. If the Strait of Hormuz remains closed or mostly closed into September, which countries hit their breaking point first, and will the order in which they break fundamentally change the balance of geopolitical power? How does everyday life change when price signals stop working and access is defined by availability rather than cost? And if this crisis truly accelerates the fracturing of our hyper-connected, globalized world into polarized blocs of energy and production, how might the disruption, for better or worse, shake up nearly a century of the macroeconomic theory that has shaped every part of our lives? (Conversation recorded on June 9th, 2026) About Michael Every: Michael Every is a Global Strategist at Rabobank with over two decades of experience. He analyzes major financial developments and contributes to the bank's various economic research publications. Before Rabobank, he was a Director at Silk Road Associates in Bangkok, Senior Economist and Fixed Income Strategist at the Royal Bank of Canada in both London and Sydney, and an Economist for Dun & Bradstreet in London.

Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington react to the growing controversy surrounding college football player Brenden Sorsby, who was reportedly involved in nearly $90,000 worth of professional and college sports wagering while actively playing college football. Despite the allegations, a judge granted an injunction allowing Sorsby to suit up this upcoming season. Rob argues Sorsby absolutely should be suspended, but also says the NCAA helped create this problem by fully embracing legalized sports gambling. Kelvin explains why the judge’s ruling could create a dangerous precedent for future disciplinary cases, opening the door for other athletes to challenge punishments using this decision as leverage. Plus, during the conversation, breaking news surfaces that Big Ten officials are reportedly discussing measures that would prevent teams from playing Texas Tech in response to the fallout surrounding the case — and the guys react in real time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
