In one of the most iconic founding legends of the Americas, a Golden Eagle devouring a serpent atop a cactus marked the spot where the Mexicas would build Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec Empire. Over the centuries, that ancient metropolis transformed into what we now call Mexico City. Though the mythical eagle is now commemorated on the national flag of Mexico, real Golden Eagles need our help through conservation research and habitat protections. ¡Escuche este episodio en español!

Today's Headlines: Twelve days in, the Iran war has cost $11 billion and nearly 2,000 lives. The most damning number: 175 people — mostly children — killed when a U.S. Tomahawk missile hit an Iranian elementary school because the Defense Intelligence Agency used outdated targeting data. Trump is still blaming Iran. He spent yesterday in Kentucky rallying against Thomas Massie and bragging the war was over "in the first hour." US intelligence disagrees: Iran's government is intact and now led by a younger, more radical Supreme Leader. Trump and Netanyahu are also diverging — Trump wants a victory banner, Israel wants regime change. Hezbollah is firing rockets into Israel; Israeli strikes have displaced over 700,000 people in Lebanon. Iran has escalated in the Strait of Hormuz, hitting three commercial ships and threatening every regional port. The US and IEA announced one of the largest emergency oil reserve releases in history after the Trump administration reversed course in two hours. February inflation already showed fuel oil up 11.1% before any of this started. The FBI is warning California law enforcement about potential Iranian drone strikes launched from ships off the coast, and thousands of Stryker employees — the company makes robotic surgery systems — arrived to find their devices locked with an Iran-linked hacking group's logo on their screens. A government watchdog found Hegseth's Pentagon burned $93 billion in September 2025 alone. The last five days of that month's spending exceeded Canada and Mexico's combined military budgets. Trump is threatening to veto all legislation until the SAVE Act — which would significantly restrict voting access — clears the Senate, while DHS investigates Arizona's 2020 election results and targets swing states ahead of the midterms. Epstein's accountant testified before House Oversight in a closed session; one detail leaked: a Trump accuser reportedly received a settlement from the Epstein estate. And a 12-foot gold statue appeared on the National Mall depicting Trump and Epstein in the Titanic bow pose — Epstein as Rose — with plaques noting their friendship was "built on luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches."

Silver Plume, Colorado — population 130 — became the setting for one of the strangest unsolved disappearances in Rocky Mountain history. In the summer of 1988, sportswriter-turned-novelist Keith Reinhard rented a storefront on Main Street, began writing a fictional character based on the building's previous tenant — a reclusive man who'd walked into the mountains and never returned — and slowly lost the boundary between the story he was writing and the life he was living. On August 7th, hungover and wearing tennis shoes, Keith announced to multiple townspeople that he was going to summit 12,275-foot Pendleton Mountain alone, starting at 4:30 in the afternoon — then walked away and was never seen again. What followed was one of the largest search and rescue operations in Colorado history, a fatal plane crash, and a cold case that's now over 35 years old. Was it an accident? A suicide? A staged disappearance? Or did Keith Reinhard stumble onto something about his predecessor's death that someone didn't want known? 00:00 Introduction to Disaster Strikes 00:42 Keith Reinhardt's Mysterious Disappearance 03:01 The Life of Keith Reinhardt 05:20 The Eerie Connection to Tom Young 08:06 Keith's Obsession and Final Days 16:31 The Search and Theories 23:25 Unsolved Mysteries and Ongoing Questions 26:59 Conclusion and Dedication Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ References Colorado Cold Case Files - Keith Reinhard Case #307 - Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office (Contact: 303-679-2376) - https://apps.colorado.gov/apps/coldcase/casedetail.html?id=307 Chicago Tribune: "Search for Reporter Halted in Colorado" (August 15, 1988) Chicago Tribune: "A Chicago-area sportswriter disappeared 31 years ago in Colorado" (January 9, 2020) Daily Herald: "The anniversary of Keith Reinhard's disappearance sparks fresh perspectives" by Jim O'Donnell (August 8, 2023) CBS Colorado: "Still No Clues In Cold Case Of Man Who Went Missing 30 Years Ago" (August 7, 2018) Eric Walter Blog: "Mountain, Murder, or Mexico?" and "The Needle in the Haystack" - https://www.ericwalterdocs.com/ Travel Channel: "Lost in the Wild" - Keith Reinhard episode (January 2020) - Investigators: J.J.

Keith Morrison and Josh Mankiewicz sit down to discuss Josh's latest episode, “The Professor & The Poet.” Sue Marcum, a beloved accounting professor at American University, was found dead in her Bethesda, Maryland, home. When police tracked down her stolen car, they thought maybe her murder was the result of a robbery gone wrong. But DNA pointed to someone much closer to home: Sue's Spanish teacher and friend, Jorge Rueda Landeros. By the time authorities connected him to the crime, Landeros had fled to Mexico, where he lived and taught yoga for more than a decade before his arrest and eventual conviction. Josh and Keith talk about the dangers of loving the wrong person and the importance of listening to your friends' advice. Plus, Josh reminisces about his childhood in Bethesda and what it was like to go back there as a Dateline correspondent. He also shares an extra clip from his interview with the killer's ex-girlfriend.

Hi! First of all, I recorded a voiceover of this So Into That! Click the play button above if you'd like to listen. I really, really tried not to cry, but it was just a crying kind of day apparently.I've had a wild few weeks of travel — both for pleasure to Mexico with the kids, and then, eight hours after landing from Mexico, I left for a 10-day work trip that included announcing my new book on Good Morning America, delivering a keynote at my alma mater (go Heels), taping an upcoming appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, bringing my 5-year-old along for the second half of the trip, and having a bazillion meetings and coffees in between.That 10-day trip marked the end of breastfeeding my fourth baby. I breastfed my first baby for 14 months, my second baby for 12 months, my third baby for six months, and my fourth baby for seven months. That's three years and three months of breastfeeding. Before I go on, I want to say that I am not writing this to glorify breastfeeding. Any way you feed your baby is absolutely perfect. Formula rules. Giving a baby a pumped milk or formula bottle is just as cozy and wonderful (and also difficult at times) as breastfeeding, and provides many or all of the same moments I share below. But I did breastfeed (in combination with formula for my last two babies), so, now that that chapter of my life is behind me, I wrote a toast to it, to say goodbye.Breastfeeding: You made my boobs resemble empty wind socks, you made me question every single food or drink I had consumed in a 48-hour period whenever my baby wiggled slightly too much in his sleep, you made me smell so, so bad, you made my nipples bleed, you made my boobs leak in so many public places, and, according to my math, you consumed roughly 2,400 hours, aka 99 entire days, of my life over the past seven years. You also allowed me to spend precious hours alone with my tiny, perfect babies, to escape countless boring conversations, to get out of so many tedious obligations, and to hide in dark rooms at parties. You created quiet pockets of time in the middle of loud, busy life. You gave me thousands of small moments with my babies that I'll never quite be able to explain to anyone who wasn't there with us. I have loved you, I have hated you, and I have felt pretty whatever about you, sometimes all in the same minute. And it's time for us to say goodbye forever. But before we do, here's a toast to you. To the 1 a.m. feeds, the 3 a.m. feeds, the 3:45 a.m. feeds, the 5 a.m. feeds, and the 5:32 a.m. feeds, when the whole house was silent except for the rhythmic, baby-piglet snorts and gulps. To that first successful latch. To that first public breastfeeding session when you're still trying to maintain a shred of modesty. To that last public breastfeeding session when you've thrown modesty to the wind. To the newly postpartum oxytocin blasts that felt like drugs. To never ever sitting in the rocking chair that my mother-in-law so lovingly bought me, instead preferring to breastfeed in bed, surrounded by pillows, in what my sons aptly named “mama's nest.”To the frantic “I NEED WATER! SERIOUSLY, I'M DYING, PLEASE HELP ME RIGHT NOW!” shouts to my husband. To the times he handed it to me before I even asked and it felt like the truest form of love. To my sons asking “does he need to drink yer boob!?” every time the baby cried. To all the food dropped on my babies' heads. To going from breastfeeding being a quiet, peaceful time to learning how to breastfeed while kissing toddler boo boos, or feeding myself lunch, or building MagnaTile castles, or making snacks. To living life to a soundtrack of white noise. To crying while listening to Michelle Obama's memoir in my first baby's first nursery. To flipping the pages of so many books with my chin because I didn't have any free hands.To my body literally having a super power: the ability to instantly calm a baby. To powering through the extreme discomfort of breastfeeding on the bleachers at a baseball game or on a 90-degree day at a water park or on one of those tiny chairs at a pre-K teacher conference. To the hours spent pinned under a sleeping child, oscillating between feeling trapped and feeling like I was exactly where I was meant to be. To the way a soft diaper-clad newborn felt curled against my soft, squishy postpartum body. To the milk drunk faces. To the milk that dribbled out of the side of their mouth when they couldn't even stay awake long enough to finish that mouthful. To kissing their little face and tasting the sugariness of my own milk and being kind of grossed out but not really.To helping me get to know my babies. To helping me understand every single noise they made except for the really weird ones that made me and my husband or whatever big kid was in the room laugh and laugh at the absurdity of such a tiny, adorable baby making such a wild noise. To my body waking up when the baby's breathing changed ever so slightly because they'd just woken up. To the cheeks and thighs and knuckle dimples and wrist rolls my body created. To all the times I've nibbled on those cheeks and thighs and wrist rolls because I had no other option, I had to.To the thousands of hours of anxiety, joy, pain, and overwhelming contentment.To the end of an era. No more nursing bras. No more leaky boobs. No more pumping! No more calculating feed times before leaving the house.Thank you for allowing me to feed another human with my body, how cool. Thank you for the quiet moments, the escape hatch, and the excuse to re-watch every single season of Gray's Anatomy. And now, respectfully, lovingly, goodbye.Unless you're brand new here, you know that I'm a huge audiobook fan. Audiobooks accompany me on walks, make doing the dishes and folding clothes infinitely more fun, and played in my ear so, so often while I fed/rocked/walked/shushed my babies over the last seven years. I am excited to be partnering with Macmillan Audio today to introduce you to my new-favorite listen that I can't bring myself to press pause on: This Story Might Save Your Life (TSMSYL) by Tiffany Crum, which released yesterday! I've been venturing outside of my usual romance reading over the last few months and am loving this story — it's part romance, part suspense, with a touch of humor. And the audiobook specifically is a work of art. To celebrate the release of TSMSYL, we chatted with Tiffany! CARO: Before we get into This Story Might Save Your Life, we want to learn about you! I know (but also can't believe because it's so well done) that this is your debut novel — give us a quick rundown on your path to becoming a novelist.TIFFANY: First of all, thank you so much for inviting me into your community! My path to getting published was a long one. I've always loved writing, but I never allowed myself to pursue it as a career until my oldest son was born. That was when I realized: if I wanted my children to grow up believing they could follow their dreams, I needed to teach by example and follow mine first. I'd love to end the story there and say that was all it took — boom, immediate book deal! — but in reality it was a winding 18-year journey of writing manuscripts that will (very happily) never see the light of day. In the end, This Story Might Save Your Life is the one where all that practice and determination finally came together.CARO: I can relate to so much of that! How long have you wanted to be an author, and what did you do professionally before writing this book?TIFFANY: I'm not kidding when I say I didn't even let myself think about writing novels until my first son was born. Before I became a parent, I worked full time as an executive assistant in the film industry. After he was born, I reprioritized. I chose to work part time so I could carve out space to pursue my dream while raising our son, and later our sons. We struggled for many of those years, but my husband was completely on board. He likes to say he never had any choice in the matter because I'm miserable when I don't have time to write, but that really downplays how supportive he's always been.CARO: Where do you live and where are you from?TIFFANY: I grew up on a dairy farm just down the road from a maximum-security prison, which is a pretty good origin story for someone who ended up writing suspense. After many years living in California, I now live outside Atlanta with my husband, our two sons, and our two dogs.CARO: What was your inspiration for This Story Might Save Your Life? How and when did the idea come to you? How long did it take you to complete this novel?TIFFANY: I've always been fascinated by the strange intimacy of podcasts. When you listen to someone's voice for hundreds of hours, you start to feel like you know them — even though you've never actually met them. This made me wonder: what if something terrible happened to one half of a beloved podcast duo? How would the audience react? And what if the story behind the microphone turned out to be very different from what listeners believed? The first draft came together quickly because I was head over heels in love with these characters, but, like most novels, it went through several rounds of revision before it became the version readers have now.CARO: OK now give us the scoop on This Story Might Save Your Life! Will you sum up the plot?TIFFANY: This Story Might Save Your Life is both a thriller and a love story about two best friends, Benny and Joy, who host a wildly popular comedy survival podcast, and what happens when one goes missing and the survival story becomes their own.CARO: Is there a podcast that inspired Benny and Joy's — their dynamic together, if not the content itself?TIFFANY: I'm a longtime podcast listener, and I've always loved shows hosted by close friends, particularly My Favorite Murder. Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark were a real source of inspiration for me, not just because of their tangent-filled banter, but also their incredible trajectory to fame. I had a blast writing a duo whose friendship feels as fun and unpredictable as theirs.CARO: I'm an audiobook lover and was so excited to learn that this book's narrated by Julia Whelan (my fave!) and Sean Patrick Hopkins. And I've been blown away by the production of it all. Why the extra attention on audio? TIFFANY: I'm a huge audiobook fan, as well! And because the story revolves around a podcast, it was exciting to have the opportunity to really lean into the audio format. Julia Whelan (the queen!) and Sean Patrick Hopkins are phenomenal narrators. Not only did they absolutely nail their POV chapters, they also recorded the podcast scenes in duet, which makes the listening experience especially immersive. I also wrote a bonus podcast episode just for the audiobook, and my producer had the brilliant idea to include tip-line call-ins, which are incredibly fun to hear. The Macmillan Audio team really knocked it out of the park, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.CARO: How can we expect to feel when we read the last page/listen to the last chapter?TIFFANY: I set out to write a thriller with a soft center. It has twists and tense cliffhanging chapters, but the real heart of the story is the friendship between Benny and Joy. If I've done my job, you'll feel everything from delight to devastation along the way, and close the book feeling satisfied — maybe even with a renewed sense of hope in the goodness of human nature.CARO: Last question! If Joy and Benny were recipes from What to Cook, which would they be?TIFFANY: Easy! Joy and Benny would absolutely choose the 3-ingredient chorizo street tacos. Not only are street tacos their favorite, but the chorizo twist also feels very on brand — a little unexpected and guaranteed to make things more interesting. Plus, a 10-minute meal is always a win!WTC Insiders, we're so excited to announce a new perk of your subscription: a free audiobook download thanks to Macmillan Audio!

Get your smaller size, if between two. * I'm wearing a lot of these turtlenecks with vests these days, which is my best friend Lily's uniform that I stole from her. I got this vest from Sezane while I was in New York and wore it on The Drew Barrymore Show (with a navy turtle under!). I borrowed an old vest from Lily that is similar to this one from Quince to wear on GMA! And I wore this one of Lily's with a dark grey turtle under for my keynote at UNC. I also ordered this one when I got home. I told you, lots of turtlenecks and vests!* St. Patrick's Day is next Tuesday! Low-effort, high-reward holiday moms unite. Last year was my first year as a holiday mom on St. Patrick's Day — I put about 15 minutes of effort into it and my kids still talk about how St. Patrick's Day is the most fun day ever. Here's exactly what I did and what I'm planning to repeat this year: rainbow tic-tacs leading from their bedroom door all the way to the toilet. Toilet dyed green. Leprechaun potty tricks! Then, downstairs, a green tablecloth, rainbow napkins, green plates, crayons with coloring pages from Something To Host, gold chocolate coins scattered all over the table (but this year I got these sour gummy coins instead because my kids don't actually seem to like chocolate coins), a big rainbow-shaped fruit spread (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, apples…) with whipped cream clouds at the bottom of the rainbow. And Lucky Charms!* I just bought this Lake pajama set for probably the twentieth time for a friend's birthday. It's very important for my overcrowded, overstimulated brain to have a few go-to gifts that I know every woman in my life will love and deeply appreciate so that I'm not constantly racking my brain for new ideas. This set is my fave for a pregnant or newly postpartum mom. Another go-to is sending a cookie cake via Instacart or DoorDash with something funny written on it when they need a little pick me up or a birthday hurrah.* One of my best friends from college, Mary Pell, and her daughter Leighton are coming to visit us next week for her Spring Break. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!!!! They're coming for three nights, which Mary Pell once told me is the maximum length a guest should stay. “You know what they say, guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.” I love Southerners and their limitless expressions. * Local (Monterey County, CA) people, George and I went to Fishwife in Pacific Grove last night and had the greatest night! It's totally dated but in a great way. Our food was delicious and there were some really inventive sauces. There were also some extremely 90s-feeling elements, like steamed broccoli and squash on every entree, and a truly wild lime green syrup garnishing the key lime pie. It is stuck in time but in a really cozy, still delicious way. We felt like intruders at a locals-only spot. And the service was amazing!!Every week, we dig into the archives to bring a few favorites back to the top of your meal plan. This week's lineup leans heavily into bowls — the kind of dinners that are flexible, packed with flavor, and easy to adapt based on what's in your fridge.1. happy bowls, 2025Roasted sweet potatoes, beets, cauliflower, and red onion piled over grains and greens with a completely addictive cashew sauce. This one's basically a choose-your-own-adventure veggie bowl and an excellent meal-prep situation — make the veggies and sauce once and build your bowls all week.2. thai-ish steak & noodle salad, 2024A Hillstone-inspired noodle salad that tastes restaurant-level but is totally doable at home. Tender steak, herbs, mango, crunchy cabbage, and noodles tossed in a punchy cashew-lime-sesame dressing (that's so good you'll want to drink it!).3. 30-minute pork and kimchi CYOA bowls, 2023A fast, flavor-packed pork and kimchi situation with rice, a drizzly tahini-gochujang sauce, and lettuce leaves to wrap it all up in. Set everything out family-style and let everyone build their own bowl, wrap, or chopped salad.4. sriracha shrimp sushi bowls, 2022All the flavors of sushi night! Sticky rice, saucy shrimp, cucumbers, avocado, and pickled ginger — all without rolling a single piece of sushi. The sriracha-soy marinade doubles as the sauce, which keeps things simple. From WTCer Erin: “Woooooow this one is so flavorful and good. And so freaking quick to prepare!” This recipe's in March's really simple meal plan, in case you're looking for an easy solution to meal planning for the days ahead!5. blackened fish taco bowls, 2021Broiled blackened cod gets piled onto lime-butter rice with citrus salsa and crunchy slaw for bright, taco-inspired bowls. If cooking fish feels intimidating, I will demystify it for you here!Congrats to Megan Z, the winner of last week's Boopshop.org giveaway!

Here’s a question that cuts to the heart of what makes sales hard: What do you do when your commodity is identical to every competitor’s, the buyer knows it, and the only lever they want to pull is price? That’s the challenge Ash from Chennai, India brought to me on a recent Ask Jeb episode. Ash works as a trader importing textile goods from Asian manufacturers and selling them into Spanish-speaking markets in South America and Spain. No proprietary product. No unique features. Pure commodity, all the way down. And yet Ash is holding customers. Getting repeat orders. Building relationships across borders and languages. He just needed a framework to understand why it was working and how to make it work even harder. The Trap Every Commodity Salesperson Falls Into When everything looks the same, most salespeople default to one of two bad moves: race to the bottom on price, or get paralyzed trying to explain a value they can’t articulate. Here is the brutal truth. Your buyer already knows the product is a commodity. They know they could go direct to the factory and cut you out entirely. They are not confused about that. What they are evaluating is whether the risk and hassle of cutting you out is worth the savings. Your job is to make sure the answer is always no. That requires you to stop thinking about what your product does and start thinking about what YOU do. Three Reasons Customers Keep Buying From Ash When I asked Ash why his good customers keep coming back, he gave me three answers that every salesperson in a commodity business needs to write down. You make it easy. Ash speaks Spanish. His customers speak Spanish. If they go direct to a Chinese or Vietnamese factory, they face language barriers, cultural friction, and communication breakdowns. Ash eliminates all of that. Business people will pay for less hassle. Time is money, and you are saving them both. You are someone they like and trust. Ash follows up. He wishes customers a happy New Year. He remembers what matters to them. That is not fluff. That is relationship equity that compounds over time. When customers feel like they can trust you, when a familiar voice picks up the phone, they do not want to start over with a stranger. You reduce financial risk. In Ash’s business, buyers put down a 20% deposit, sometimes a hundred thousand dollars or more, and pay the balance when the container arrives. The nightmare scenario is that container showing up full of the wrong product. Ash’s company has been operating for over 20 years. They do what they say they are going to do. That longevity is not just a stat. It is a security blanket. The Power of the Micro Story Knowing your value is half the battle. Being able to articulate it when a buyer pushes back on price is the other half. Here is what I told Ash: You need stories. Not case studies. Not bullet points. Short, vivid, real stories that make the risk of cutting you out feel tangible. Something like this: “I get it. You could go directly to the factory and save ten percent. Some of my customers tried that before working with me. One of them got a container full of product that was not what they ordered. It cost them more than they saved, and they had no one local, no one they trusted, to help them fix it. That is why they work with me now.” That story is doing three things at once. It validates the buyer’s instinct to compare prices. It quantifies the real cost of the cheaper alternative. And it positions you as the solution to a problem they have not had yet but definitely do not want. If you are newer to sales and do not have your own stories yet, go talk to your senior teammates. Read industry articles. Find examples of what goes wrong when buyers skip the middleman. Then make those stories part of your standard value conversation. Not Every Buyer Is Your Buyer This is the part that stings a little, but it is important. Some buyers are going to push back on your margins until the conversation goes nowhere. They will tell you the price they need, and if you cannot hit it, they will walk. That is okay. What they are telling you is that they do not value what you bring to the table. They want the cheapest option, and that is a legitimate business decision. They are just not your customer. Your job is not to convert every skeptic. Your job is to keep your pipeline full and find the buyers who genuinely value ease, safety, and responsiveness. Those are the ones who become long-term accounts. Those are the ones who, two or three years in, cannot imagine buying from anyone else. Ash is already doing this well. He has visited customers in Mexico, Colombia, and Spain. He has done office meetings and factory tours. When a customer says yes to a visit, they are telling you something: you matter to us. That is what I call an engagement test, and Ash is passing it. Your Value, Packaged Simply In commodity sales, your pitch does not need to be complicated. It needs to be consistent. Here is how I would frame it every time a buyer pushes back: I make this easy for you. I am responsive. And your money is safe with me. Then back each of those up with a story. That is the whole game. Not features. Not specs. You. When you are tired and ready to wrap up the day, remember this: the prospecting you do today pays you for the next three months. Pick up the phone and make one more call. The buyers who value what you do are out there. Go find them. Want to take this to the next level in person?

I'm back in the saddle to talk about my most "delusional" goal yet: cycling 2,000 miles from Mexico to Canada in just 13 days to raise $1 million for underserved families across America. I'm pulling back the curtain on my training, from the "unsolicited advice" that almost derailed me to the makeshift bike-desk I built to ensure this mission doesn't come at the expense of my family or business. I'll explain how I'm breaking down a massive, 150-mile-a-day hurdle into bite-sized "races," why I'm keeping a "Book of Receipts" for the doubters, and how we can all find a different level of obsession when our actions finally match our ambitions.Learn more about theRide: https://gobundance.com/therideConnect With MattWebsite: http://themattking.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattking.atx TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattking.atx LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kingmatthewr/ Watch more of Matt:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLV1o1AiDqYX8Na5qNsgeAQ#gobundance #theRide #podcast The Tribe of High-Performing Men: http://gobundance.com/tribe

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek brought to you by LMNT, we are breaking things down for the class of 2026 PCT thru-hikers with another edition of our top tips for hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.

In June of 2025 I finally traveled to a place I have wanted to visit for some time: Mexico. My trip to Mexico began with the beach and then the impressive ruins of Chichén Itzá. However, the best moments of the trip were yet to come, including a magical cenote and a more intimate experience with beautiful Mayan ruins.This story is in the first person and past tense.

A report on Sunday indicates Travis Kelce has decided to come back for a 14th season but says he and his agent may be shopping around to play for somebody other than the Chiefs. Seems unlikely but I think we'd understand why. KCI was evacuated due to a bomb threat Sunday as would be passengers poured out of the terminal and planes onto the tarmac, the streets and cell phone lots. It was a crazy scene. Iran has chosen the son of the former Supreme Leader to take charge. This seems like a death wish. Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer just unloads on President Obams for his hateful speech at Jesse Jackson's funeral and it didn't sit well with Jackson's son, either. The conference tournaments are set in KC and Nashville for our area basketball teams. It starts after a scathing column by a writer in Arizona that can't believe the tourney is in KC every year. USA Baseball is rolling in the World Baseball Classic and has games against Mexico and Italy the next two nights. 17 Royals are playing in the tournament. A former runningback at Alabama calls out Nick Saban. Charlie Woods is the highest priced college golfer and the worlds largest flashlight is changing the eco system in our Final Final.
The Jets are trading for Minkah Fitzpatrick. We heard from Maxx Crosby on going from the Raiders to the Ravens. Luka talked about the Lakers beating the Knicks yesterday. In the WBC tonight, USA takes on Mexico. Evan Roberts talked to Aaron Boone and asked if it still bothers him that Juan Soto chose the Mets over the Yankees. Moment of The Day: C-Mac tricked into reading a fake ED commercial.
We lead with President Trump's new commission to save college sports, focusing on the impact of NIL money and the transfer portal. Breaking news of the Jets trading for Minkah Fitzpatrick, and Maxx Crosby's thoughts on joining the Ravens. The hour continues with Luka's reaction to the Lakers beating the Knicks, and a preview of tonight's WBC matchup between the USA and Mexico. We also cover Aaron Boone's feelings on Juan Soto choosing the Mets and Terry Pendleton's claims about the Twins manipulating stadium wind, before wrapping up with our Moment of the Day featuring C-Mac's fake commercial and more on the big Fitzpatrick trade.
What's up Bros?? We have ourselves a downright uneventful episode of Southern Charm to cap off their Mexico trip. What was set up to be an episode focused on the fallout from Craig's tantrum in the van ended up being a lot of strange interactions and lack of energy to deal with the issue. The best way to deal with a lack of energy is totally to get into a small sweat lodge with 8 other people and really sweat it all out. We imagine the fallout from the whole trip will be postponed to a very extreme crash landing back to reality in Charleston, but for now, we have ourselves a lot of fun making fun of all of the situations.
