Welcome to Barn Talk! In this episode, Tork and Sawyer are kicking off 2026 with a heavy-hitting conversation covering everything from the latest farm market updates to eye-popping geopolitical events and the new realities of artificial intelligence. The guys break down what the latest corn, bean, and cattle prices mean for Midwest farmers, before diving deep into some of the hottest global headlines—like the U.S. military's dramatic actions in Venezuela, the complex ties with China and Russia, and why leaders around the world should be paying close attention.But it's not just big-picture geopolitics. Tork and Sawyer get personal about their goals for the year ahead, with Sawyer picking up archery as a new hobby and Tork tackling the ever-daunting world of estate planning for the family farm. They shine a spotlight on grassroots journalism—praising everyday Americans like independent YouTuber Nick Shirley, whose investigations into massive daycare fraud in Minnesota are shaking up the system.On the home front, they explore the economic boom (and looming bust) created by massive data centers popping up across the Midwest, the trade labor shortages that could rock the ag industry, and the tough choices facing landowners as solar energy companies dangle record-breaking lease offers.If you're looking for a conversation where farm life meets global events, and personal hustle collides with emerging tech, this is the episode for you.

In this week's Short Suck, we head back to the 1930s, when milk wasn't just one of many beverages  - it was survival, income, and power. As the Great Depression crushed farmers, workers, and cities alike, a perishable staple sparked riots, bombings, deadly shootings, and even Mafia involvement across the Midwest. This is the forgotten history of the Milk Wars,  when America went to war... over cow juice.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Minneapolis is coping with the shooting of a local woman by an ICE agent, and allegations that federal daycare funds have been misused.On Today's Show: Rachel Leingang, Midwest political correspondent for Guardian US, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, talks about how Minneapolis is "on edge" after the fatal shooting of a civilian by an ICE agent, which came after weeks of tension between the Somali community and the Trump administration, and Republicans' spotlight of fraud at child care centers in the state.

863 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/866 Presented by:   Togiak River Lodge Today's story bridges two very different worlds: the tight banks and icy tributaries of the Great Lakes, and the raw, tidal power of Western Alaska. Bailey Adamavich learned to fish where forty-foot casts matter and low water forces precision, then carried that foundation straight into blown-out rivers, chrome-bright kings, and some of the most intense Chinook grabs you can imagine. Bailey was our guide on the Togiak River, and we talked through one of my best days ever swinging for king salmon. We also dig into how Great Lakes tactics translate to Alaska, why simple flies still win, and what it really feels like to guide a full Alaskan season. If you're curious about Chinook on the swing, Midwest steelhead and browns, or the leap from small water to truly big rivers, this one's for you. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/866

In this episode we answer emails from Midwest Nice, Ron and Stefan.  We discuss helping a cautious parent with a high-fee advisor, what services are actually worth paying for in their case, how to invest home-sale proceeds for a 5–10 year horizon, where to learn beyond basic indexing without losing the plot, the McKenna Man portfolio, and best approaches to try to beat the market (beyond don't try).  Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterExcess Returns Channel: Excess Returns - YouTubeTacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse Video:  Tacoma Bridge Collapse: The Wobbliest Bridge in the World?

We dig into the real-world tactics that preserve relationships while improving outcomes—think gentle on-ramps like scam protection, account alerts, and sharing your own planning choices. The goal isn't to win a debate; it's to earn access, reduce avoidable taxes, and align risk with comfort, especially when pensions and Social Security already cover spending.From there, we get specific about value. If an advisor stays, the highest-return work for many retirees is tax strategy, asset location, and simplification—not performance theater. We talk practical setups like Wellington or Wellesley for low-cost balance, when a deferred QLAC can be a comfort hedge, and why generating more income than you need can backfire at tax time. For listeners sitting on house-sale proceeds with a 5–10 year window, we unpack why hoarding cash invites erosion and why a golden ratio–style mix can cap drawdowns to a few years while keeping growth and inflation resilience alive.Curious investors also get a roadmap for learning beyond slogans. We highlight factor tilts with quality screens, institutional-grade thinkers like Ilmanen, Lo, and Mauboussin, and the simple truth that outperformance usually comes from concentration or leverage—so position sizing and behavior matter more than hot takes. We challenge the myth that a cap-weight index buys the “whole economy,” and we favor building like engineers: learn from failures, control volatility, and design for the stress you'll actually feel.If this helped you rethink fees, timelines, or tilts, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more DIY investors can find these tools.Support the show

In part 1 of this Beyond Sets & Reps episode, I get to sit down with my friend Jason Dierking, the Director of Olympic Sports Performance at the University of Louisville. We talk about his path from growing up in the Midwest to becoming one of the most respected leaders in our profession. Jason opens up about how his faith, values, and love for the training process shaped who he is as a coach and a person. We look back at how the field has changed, how discipline and gratitude were built into him early, and how those lessons still guide the way he serves athletes today. We also get into his journey as a grad assistant, his first full-time jobs, and what it was like taking on more responsibility while trying to keep learning and growing. Jason talks honestly about long days, heavy workloads, learning to delegate, and the mentors who helped him along the way. He shares what it meant to step into a leadership role at Louisville and how focusing on relationships, culture, and doing things the right way has helped move their program forward. It is a real conversation about character, perseverance, and leading with purpose in a high-performance world.

For those of us who have chosen to walk a spiritual path, we've been called a great number of things. Particularly, crazy. So it can be important to have a translator of sorts to explain to the logically minded skeptics that it's possible to be spiritual without losing your mind. You don't have to abandon your logic to learn how to be spiritual. And you don't have to squeeze yourself into someone else's rituals, beliefs, or vibes to become a spiritual person. My guest this week, Laura Kusto, has done us all a favor and become that bridge to explain that there's another path — one built for strategic minds, skeptical hearts, and people who crave meaning that actually makes sense. Where spirituality isn't performance. It's pattern. It's timing.On this guest episode I have the pleasure of hearing Laura's story and conversation about al the great and rational gifts of astrology, moon phases, and how each supports productivity or planning. Laura explains how spirituality is actually the truth that rises when you finally stop outsourcing your intuition and start aligning with your natural rhythm. She shows us how to become spiritual in a way that feels grounded, intelligent, and completely yours — so your inner world can feel as clear and powerful as the life you've built on the outside. She walks us though the moon phases and how someone with zero astrology knowledge can start syncing their workflow to the moon today. She also shares about her creation, the Moon Map, and how it helps someone understand their natural timing and focus areas.Laura is the Moon Phase Astrologer for Strategic Minds—helping high-achieving entrepreneurs and executives claim their spiritual rhythm through grounded, repeatable frameworks rooted in lunar cycles. A sought-after speaker and featured Authority Magazine author, she helps analytical minds disenchanted by surface-level, “good vibes only” spirituality reconnect with something deeper. Her mission is to show driven, discerning thinkers that their intellect isn't a spiritual barrier—it's the bridge to alignment, clarity, and belonging. 25-year global corporate strategist and speaker (consulting VP & practice line lead).

All-Black basketball team the Harlem Globetrotters travelled to Hinckley, Illinois on 7th January, 1927 - setting them on a barnstorming journey through the Midwest, the nation, and eventually the world…  Their manager, Abe Saperstein, was obsessed with basketball, stitching together tours at a time when Black athletes were locked out of most professional leagues. His re-brand of the team to the “Harlem Globetrotters” symbolised Black culture and creativity at a time of sports segregation, even though the team were actually from Chicago. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly compare contrasting stories of how ‘the Savoy Big Five' evolved into the Globetrotters; explain why showboating, humour and spectacle were always part of the group's demonstrations, despite their immense talent; and examine how the team helped introduce America to Black sporting excellence…   Further Reading: • ‘The Harlem Globetrotters: 99 years of basketball, variety and ‘Showtime'' (The Athletic, 2025): https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6118506/2025/02/10/harlem-globetrotters-black-history-month-99-years/ • ‘How Harlem Globetrotters founder Abe Saperstein shaped basketball as we know it today'  (The Times of Israel, 2024): https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-harlem-globetrotters-founder-abe-saperstein-shaped-basketball-as-we-know-it-today/ • ‘Best of the Harlem Globetrotters' (Guinness World Records, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDQLhK-flVE #Sport #20s #Black #Racism #US Love the show?

No inserted ads: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast The episode opens with your intro, then the bulk of the show is Hairy Tongue Will's massive, chaotic, detailed telling of his addiction, near-death runs, arrests, relapse cycles, dead friends, and eventual recovery.Will describes the early Long Island chaos with Richie, Mike, and Lenny—everyone strung out on heroin, crack, coke, and whatever they could get. He recalls the first serious turn: showing up to a house where Lenny was passed out after a three-day crack run, realizing “the demons are taking over.” Mike and Richie spiral deeper, and Will keeps managing to “hold it together” thanks to jobs, work ethic, and a strange electrical-job stabilizer that kept him semi-functional.He details years of DUIs, probation, manipulating drug tests, smoking crack constantly while still working 16-hour electrician shifts, and thriving socially because coworkers lived vicariously through him. He normalized chaos, missing only “one no-call/no-show every two weeks,” which he considered acceptable.Will then dives into his first short attempt at stability, living in a basement apartment. His probation officer surprises him the day after a holiday: the apartment is filled with beer cans, bongs, baggies. He fails the test, is sent back to rehab/jail cycles, and explains why Long Island addicts often choose jail over treatment. He describes his surreal time in jail—being sent to the Montauk Lighthouse on work crews, eating egg sandwiches and black-and-milds with the guards, becoming “the useful guy,” actually feeling respected and purposeful.Back outside, he tries again, fails again, collects DUIs, cycles through companies, loses jobs, hustles side work, and repeatedly relapses. A wedding night leads to another DUI. COVID hits while he's in jail. He gets out, starts working nonstop, earns money, piles cash in a closet, stacks crypto, reads self-help books, sleeps on a mattress on the floor, becomes obsessed with success and control.Then he meets a girl in Tennessee. He drinks again “successfully” only when he flies there. He builds a double life—working himself numb, drinking out of state, convincing himself he's different.Eventually, on a work trip, he gambles, wins big, drinks an old fashioned, and secretly cooks his boss's cocaine into crack. This reignites the obsession. Will starts traveling the Northeast and Midwest, repeatedly pulling crack-seeking missions: gas stations, high-crime neighborhoods, asking strangers, “I'm looking for some hard.” He builds drug contacts in Bridgeport, Dayton, Maine, Virginia, wherever the job sends him. He smokes in hotels, hallucinates blood on floors, changes rooms repeatedly.He recounts the deaths of friends:Mike, whose father turned their home into a sheet-walled trap house with dealers and bikers living inside.How Mike died with his father selling sneakers off his dead son's body.Richie, who got sober then died of fentanyl after nearly two years clean.Will's life collapses further—obsession, resentment toward God, jealousy, terminal uniqueness. He becomes a “demon,” wanting to die like his friends. He terrifies his girlfriend with delusional FaceTimes, nine-day runs, psychosis. She moves in without knowing the truth and becomes trapped in codependency.He stays high for 26 straight days, manipulates her with antihistamine allergy episodes to cover his psychosis, hides crack pipes around the house with ring cameras everywhere. He finally admits some truth, gives her $5,000 to escape, but she stays another nine months.He tells insane stories:Pretending he's a trust-fund baby to get free crackGetting shot at by a dealer after a misunderstanding over “two grams” vs “two ounces”Driving through wooded roads barefoot at gas stationsDealers trying to jump himBecoming a mule for a recently-released dealer (Ace)Near misses, violence, and pure street insanityEventually, during a pickup, he gets chased, prays for police lights, and his car breaks down. Cops descend. He gets a mountain of charges (“five decades worth”). He thinks he'll die in prison. Bail reform gets him released. He immediately uses again for 17 more days.A sober lawyer tries pushing him toward St. Christopher's. Will resists, manipulates LICR, relapses again, cancels his own insurance, tries to die, and after weeks of chaos his mother gets him re-approved. He enters St. Chris, still delusional, still dangerous.There he breaks. He admits suicidal thoughts, gets a guard stationed outside his door, hears the blunt truth—you're the worst-off guy here and you did this to yourself. It lands. Will begins working the program: spiritual direction, grief groups, codependency, meetings, kitchen duty, everything. He reconnects with his mother in sobriety. He attends court in suits provided by the facility and ultimately receives an unexpectedly generous plea deal.He comes home early, tries to run his own program, stays sober for months, but on Mother's Day runs into an old acquaintance who shows him a Newport box with a pipe inside. He relapses immediately for three days, misses Mother's Day entirely.That night, suicidal again, he receives a series of calls: first from Jordan, then from his tough sponsor, who gives him clear direction—go to a sober house, go to daily groups, go to nightly meetings, call people, build structure. Will frauds his urine to get in, but once inside, follows every instruction. He stabilizes.He recounts being 18 months sober now, having been at meetings nearly every night, with a recent slip in commitment due to chasing an “intimate partner godshot” that didn't work out. You reassure him that it's fine and that balance is part of recovery.More or less thats the whole thing! On a brand new fucko, crackead episode of that good old dopey show!

With a housing shortage driving up prices, Robert Linn, Principal of Point B Properties, is taking an innovative approach to address the crisis while also prioritizing sustainability and health.In today's episode, Robert shared insights into his latest project—a conversion of a two-flat building into a three-flat under Chicago's ADU ordinance. This ordinance allows developers to add units to existing buildings, increasing the housing supply without tearing down older structures. “Chicago right now has a massive undersupply of multifamily housing,” Robert explained. “What we're doing by going in and taking this two-flat and making it a three-flat is helping keep that supply up. As anyone with kind of a basic knowledge of supply and demand knows, if we keep increasing supply, then prices are going to come down.”But Robert's work goes far beyond simply adding more units. He's also focused on making homes healthier and more energy-efficient. For instance, he uses energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) in his projects to improve indoor air quality while conserving energy. “A big focus for me, I would consider an easy win, is air quality,” he said. “We make sure that we pay really good attention to how the property is sealed and then invest extra in ventilation.”Robert also highlighted the importance of proper insulation to prevent issues like mold, which can develop when warm, humid air condenses inside walls. “You could build a building with zero insulation, and no one would be the wiser until your walls are really cold,” he noted. His commitment to detail ensures that his buildings are not only comfortable but also environmentally friendly and cost-effective for residents.What makes this project even more exciting is its funding model. Robert is raising capital through Small Change, a regulated investment crowdfunding platform that allows ordinary people to invest in impact-driven real estate projects. “It's nice to have something more formal to offer to the public in a really structured way,” Robert said, emphasizing the democratizing power of crowdfunding.By blending affordability, sustainability, and healthy living, Robert's work exemplifies how developers can meet critical housing needs while addressing broader challenges like climate change. I encourage you to visit Small Change to learn more about his inspiring Richmond Revival project. Together, we can support initiatives that make a real difference in our communities.tl;dr:Robert Linn's latest project converts a two-flat Chicago building into a three-flat under the ADU ordinance.Robert prioritizes healthy, energy-efficient housing using techniques like proper insulation and energy recovery ventilators.Chicago's housing shortage drives Robert's mission to preserve and expand affordable multifamily housing.He's raising funds for the Richmond Revival project via Small Change, democratizing investment opportunities.Robert's superpower, “constructive discontent,” pushes him to improve housing quality and solve problems creatively.How to Develop Constructive Discontent As a SuperpowerRobert described his superpower as “constructive discontent,” explaining how his refusal to accept subpar solutions drives him to continuously improve his projects. “If I find out something isn't quite optimized from a building science perspective, I can't just leave it,” he said. This mindset leads him to prioritize details like air quality, proper insulation, and energy efficiency, ensuring that the homes he develops are healthier, more sustainable, and more affordable for residents.During today's episode, Robert shared an example of how he used his constructive discontent to improve window installation on his latest project. When his general contractor dismissed best practices as “too complicated,” Robert took matters into his own hands by assigning the task to his crew. He provided them with a video outlining proper installation techniques, ensuring that the windows met his exacting standards. This hands-on approach reflects Robert's commitment to excellence, even when it means going the extra mile.Tips for Developing Constructive Discontent:Don't normalize annoyance—identify things that could be better and explore ways to improve them.Invest in tools or resources, like air quality monitors, to identify hidden problems in your environment.Learn best practices in your field and hold yourself accountable to implement them consistently.Surround yourself with a team you trust to execute your vision when others fall short.By following Robert's example and advice, you can make constructive discontent a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In their season seven premiere, Anna and Derek discuss Blane's gaslighting of Andie, perhaps the most severe case of friend-zoning ever, and much more during their breakdown of the teen classic Pretty in Pink (1986).Connect with '80s Movie Montage on Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram! It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there's that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We had loads of fun in this conversation. Robert Wagonner joins us from his home in the Midwest. He is a veteran lucid dreamer, having taught himself how to do it in the '70s and never looked back. Robert elaborates on the lucid state as being an educational system. He discussed "buzzing" while having an out of body experience as a young boy, his brother's book and the Monroe Institute, flying through his neighborhood, house cats and mountain lions. We hear about the mysterious "N4" (144), the mentally mediated realm, following the creativity and the blue light. We explore the magic of goofiness, fear, becoming an electron, the search for inherent evil, Daoist societies, "going the distance" and the voluntary death experience. What a trip. "Doubt is gravity".  Robert, Website + Books: https://www.lucidadvice.com/ Other: https://www.lucid-dreaming-advice.com/about-robert Lucid Dreaming Foundation: https://www.luciddreamingfoundation.org/#1 [CORRECTION – The Monroe Institute initially helped Joe McMoneagle to control his OBEs] Episodes mentioned: Joe McMoneagle, ep 198, 199, 200, 210, 215, 218 and Athena Laz, ep 100 To give to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org.

Terrifying Midwest Mothman Invasion with Lon Strickler | Untold Radio AM #277 Jan 4, 2026

Corn, extreme heat and the military, and skiing are all subjects featured on Floodlight, an independent, nonpartisan newsroom that investigates the corporations and political interests stalling climate action. On today's show, host Douglas Haynes speaks with Dee J. Hall, an award-winning Wisconsin journalist and Editor in Chief of Floodlight. Hall says that her work at Floodlight strives to be “locally relevant and nationally resonant.” They talk about Floodlight’s mission, impact, and recent notable stories, including the essay, “Corn's clean-energy promise is clashing with its climate footprint.” Currently 40% of corn grown in the US goes to producing ethanol for fuel. But researchers are finding that the continuous growth of corn for fuel has caused an explosion of nitrous oxide emissions in the upper Midwest that comes from the continuous application of nitrogen fertilizer. Hall says “we've traded one issue (carbon) for another (nitrogen).”  Another Floodlight story on climate change's impact on winter activities. 2025 was the third hottest year on record and the effect is being felt in people's daily lives, including during ski season. In the next 25 years, projections suggest that ski seasons could shrink by another 3 months.  Hall also speaks to the state of climate journalism today and the challenges of doing climate journalism during the second Trump administration. She says the administration often doesn't respond to requests for comment, or when they do, their responses are disrespectful. They also discuss the importance of “official” perspectives, the distinction between “objectivity” and “fairness,” and how the rise of non-profit newsrooms is changing the face of journalism.  Dee J. Hall is the Editor-in-Chief of Floodlight. Before joining Floodlight, Dee was the managing editor of Wisconsin Watch, a nonprofit investigative news outlet based in Madison and Milwaukee that she co-founded with her husband, Andy. In her more than 40 years in journalism, Dee has won more than three dozen state, regional and national awards for her reporting. During her eight years as Wisconsin Watch’s managing editor, Dee edited and reported more than 70 award-winning projects. Dee previously reported for the Wisconsin State Journal and the Arizona Republic. Featured image of the Granite Peak Ski area in Wisconsin via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 2.0).

I met him at Kevin King's, $1 Billion Seller summit, and he's going to have a lot of knowledge to share with us. I'm going to dive in like immediately to what was mentioned in your bio. You had your account suspended. You had you ran into 400 K of debt and loans, but you've kind of come out the other end and you're you're crushing it right now on Amazon. So tell me, Brad, what happened with the account suspension?Brad 00:00:33  So I, I was doing, retail arbitrage and I got, I got really into it. it it was actually kind of unique. It started off, where I was, I, I was really into eBay growing up, so I was always selling stuff, just like as a kid throughout the house, whether it was mine or not. I was grabbing, like, antiques from the basement and, like, selling stuff out of the garage. And I think that's where I got kind of, you know, introduced to e-commerce and kind of obsessed so that that kind of was always on the side.Brad 00:01:11  And I was doing that through grade school, high school, and then into college. And I learned about Amazon FBA and I think 2012. and as an eBay guy, it was like blew me away because I was, you know, the guy waiting in line at the, at the post office and having to deal with customers. So the fact that you could just send a bunch of items in and Amazon will ship it and take care of customer service was very appealing to me. So I started, I just started watching videos and the easiest way to start, which I don't know how many people really started out like this, but I'm sure some. But I was going into, you know, odd lots and Walmarts and just buying toys or whatever I could find. And essentially I was just kind of learning that process. so, you know, that was a good way to, like, get my feet wet into Amazon FBA. and then, you know, life kind of happened where that was put off to the side.Brad 00:02:19  I was in the corporate world for a while. not doing very well. I just, was not very passionate about what I was doing, and, I got a call from a buddy. I was living in South Florida. I'm from Ohio originally, and, I got fired from one job. You know, I was working for good companies. They were, like, fortune 500 companies. And I kind of noticed right away that the people that were successful were extremely passionate about the company, and they had just drank the Kool-Aid. And I just did. I just didn't care, really. I thought our products were overpriced, which is not the mentality that you want to have when you're trying to sell something. so I was just kind of, just doing enough not to get fired. And my friend, in Columbus had called me and said, hey, I just bought this epoxy coating company. So what we're doing is we're installing, like, showroom floors in garages. You know, the the garages in Columbus or the Midwest are all cracked and spoiled.Brad 00:03:34  so, you know, this was December and he was like, hey, I can't pay you that much, but, you know, this will be our company. and I'll share profits with you. So I wasn't really doing much. You know, in terms of growing personally or professionally, although I was in South Florida, which was pretty cool for for an Ohio guy. Sure. I took him up on it, and I remember it was December. I go from this cushy sales job in South Florida. Even though I didn't like it. And then all of a sudden, I am installing, garage floors in the suburbs of Columbus. In December, we're using, like, heaters to keep ourselves warm. And the funny thing was, I actually was enjoying it more, because it was ours. So that kind of, like, turned on the light that, you know, the way that I'm going to be successful is if I'm doing something for myself, like, or as a team. And that kind of drew me back to this e-commerce stuff.Brad 00:04:36  and like I was saying, I had learned about, the Amazon FBA and I had a this background in eBay. So I just kind of I remember in one of your podcasts, you were talking about how after work, you would go home and just watch videos. yeah. Because you, you know, you kind of saw that as a way out. But, you know, what you have to do is you have to put in the time. You know, even after a long day of work when most people are just watching TV or they want to decompress. I was just drawn to just scanning eBay, you know, looking at Amazon. And I was like, I was wondering if there was an opportunity for products that I could buy on eBay and flip on Amazon. And I kind of just somehow stumbled upon this, category of high end skincare. And I was noticing that there was these really, like, high end brands that were selling for, you know, almost nothing on eBay because, li...
