Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. Some weeks you show up polished and put-together… and some weeks, you show up disheveled. This is one of those weeks. In this episode of the Midwest Married Podcast, we're embracing the messy hair, haven't-slept, emotionally-all-over-the-place kind of energy. We're joined by Morgan from Two Hot Takes to share our own disheveled moments — and give our very honest, very real takes on Reddit stories from people who are also deep in their disheveled era. From hygiene confessions to life spirals and everything in between, it's equal parts chaos and connection. Whether you're thriving, surviving, or somewhere in between, this one's for you.
A love of cookbooks inspired Sara Johnson and Stephanie McKinney to found Anchovy Book Co., a bite-sized, brick-and-mortar store on Cherokee Street that's just six feet wide. There are only about 20 cookbook-exclusive stores nationwide. Anchovy, which opened in November, is the first in the Midwest. We explore the store's origin and the cookbooks that remain beloved by its founders. We also look at cookbook recommendations and local authors with St. Louis Magazine food writer Cheryl Baehr.

Zombie foreclosures, or abandoned homes stuck in the foreclosure process, are making a comeback in parts of the U.S., particularly across the Rust Belt and Midwest. These properties often sit vacant due to financing pitfalls, legal disputes, bad tenants, or simple neglect, dragging down surrounding home values and neighborhoods. But while they can be eyesores, they also present potential opportunities for investors willing to do the homework—tracking ownership status, navigating title searches, and preparing for extensive rehab. In this episode, we'll break down the latest data on zombie foreclosures, explain why they happen, highlight the markets seeing the biggest increases, and walk through the risks and rewards of bringing these properties back to life.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Steve and Judy Skinner wanted to buy a haunted house. They'd been lifelong skeptics, but after a paranormal experience in Eureka Springs, they wanted to know more about the paranormal. As a doctor, Steve wanted to study and experience the paranormal properly, so he needed a “lab.” A place of their own, where nothing could be manipulated. And in 2018, they found just what they were looking for in the small town of Brumley, Missouri…the Haunted Castle House. They soon realized they had purchased a very active home. In fact, it's been called the “Most Haunted House in the Midwest.” Even on realtor.com, the listing for the house said, “Buy it if you dare.” The house has seen lots of trauma, tragedy, and death…which could account for the apparitions, noises, knocks, voices, and all of the paranormal activity under its roof.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this candid episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I'm joined once again by my wife, Jessica, for a raw and relatable conversation about marriage, parenting, and family dynamics. Together, we dive into the often-unspoken expectations that can trip couples up—from finances and chores to parenting roles and communication. We unpack stories from our own journey, including how we've learned to navigate paying bills vs. investing, handling family dinners without resentment, and even the role each of us plays in talking with our boys about tough subjects like sex and relationships. Jessica also shares her gift for approaching conversations with grace and timing, while I reflect on my more reactive nature. This episode is packed with practical takeaways for couples who want to strengthen teamwork, avoid resentment, and lead their families with intention. TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge movement and today's focus on roles in marriage [1:01] - Defining who does what in parenting, finances, and chores [2:06] - The hidden danger of unspoken expectations [3:30] - Behind the scenes: energy, stress, and real-life struggles [5:10] - Midwest float trip stories and creating family traditions [9:27] - Why shared memories matter more than perfection [11:16] - Breaking down marriage roles: paying bills vs. investing [15:23] - The early financial mistakes that created stress in our marriage [18:05] - Why swapping roles can sometimes create resentment [21:16] - How Jessica manages bills and accountability with confidence [24:19] - Investments, risks, and learning to stomach financial swings [27:15] - Family dinners: why they often cause conflict and how we shifted the burden [29:03] - The turning point when Jessica admitted she hated cooking [31:36] - Why meal planning is harder than it looks (and how we simplified it) [34:47] - Balancing preferences, health, and kids' picky eating habits [39:11] - Parenting roles: who has the sex talk with the kids [41:12] - Creating safe, open conversations about sex, porn, and relationships [44:12] - How to approach hard conversations with timing and grace [47:26] - Why gentleness and patience often lead to better results [50:18] - Picking the right time and tone to address conflict at home [53:03] - Dividing responsibilities with kids' sports and activities [56:08] - Communication as the glue that keeps roles balanced [57:12] - Closing reflections and an invitation for listener topic suggestions 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Unspoken Expectations Create Resentment Most marital conflict stems not from tasks themselves, but from unspoken roles and assumptions. Clarity prevents conflict. 2. Play to Your Strengths Dividing responsibilities based on natural strengths—like Jessica handling bills and me handling investments—makes life easier and reduces stress. 3. Dinners Are About Connection, Not Perfection Family meals can quickly turn into a source of resentment. Sharing the load and letting go of perfection creates a healthier environment. 4. Hard Conversations Require Timing Approaching difficult topics at the right time and with the right tone changes everything. Grace and patience often achieve more than urgency. 5. Parenting Is a Team Effort From sex talks to sports practices, showing up as a united front teaches kids stability, respect, and the value of shared responsibility.

A Clare disability activist claims some schools need to be "more proactive" in assisting children and parents with the "frustrating" assessment of need process. With the 2025/26 school year now in full swing, new figures from the HSE have revealed that just 19 children in Clare received an assessment in the first six months of this year. An assessment of need is an evaluation carried out by the HSE for children or young people with a disability. The process identifies a child's health needs and what health services are required to meet these needs. While the HSE frequently emphasises that an assessment of need isn't necessary in order to avail of health services, it can make it easier to access supports. New HSE data released to Sinn Féin shows just 19 children in Clare received an assessment of need between January and June, which accounted for just 11% of its cases. Of those assessed, a whole 16 were found to have a disability. Shannonbanks Sinn Féin Councillor James Ryan believes a shortage of the appropriate staff is a key issue. Department of Health figures published in June, meanwhile, show almost 15,300 assessment of need applications were overdue at the end of March which was up 8% on the figure for last December. The total for the Midwest region was 434, indicating a reduction of less than 2% from December. Ennis-based disability activist Dermot Hayes believes schools should offer more assistance to families struggling to manage the system.

Ryan Kelly is a filmmaker, entrepreneur, and partner of Substance, a film and television production company based in Cleveland.What if Northeast Ohio had the infrastructure to support large-scale film productions? That question first took root when Ryan found himself on the set of Cherry—a feature film shot in Cleveland by the Russo Brothers, the acclaimed Cleveland-born directors behind Avengers and Captain America—soaking in the experience of working alongside Hollywood heavyweights in his hometown.What followed was Ryan's relentless pursuit of that vision and his work to build up Northeast Ohio's film industry.Before founding Substance, Ryan co-founded TRG Sound & Vision alongside industry veterans Adam Wilde and Geoff Yaw. TRG boasts one of the largest sound stages in the Midwest: 160,000 square feet of studio space, a Virtual Production Wall, a 40' by 60' cyclorama wall, and 40 semi-permanent sets staffed by skilled industry professionals to meet the demands of large productions.As a filmmaker, Ryan is the director and producer of the docuseries WrestleHer, which tells the story behind sanctioning high school girls' wrestling in Ohio and the generation of athletes growing the sport.Ryan's journey is a powerful blend of artistic conviction and entrepreneurial grit. In our conversation, we explore how he carved a path into the film industry from scratch as a touring musician and drummer, what he learned from working alongside others in the industry—like Transition Studios, whose story was shared by Shawn Rech in Episode 85 of Lay of The Land—and how he approaches creative risk, storytelling, and making Cleveland a true contender on the national production map.00:00:00 - From Punk Rock to Filmmaking: A Journey of Artistry00:08:08 - Navigating the Filmmaking Landscape: Players and Perspectives00:13:16 - The Evolution of TRG: A Hub for Creative Production00:21:11 - The Artist-Entrepreneur Duality: Balancing Creativity and Business00:28:19 - Cleveland's Potential: A Production Hub in the Making00:33:35 - The Birth of Substance: A New Identity00:40:51 - The Multifaceted Role of a Filmmaker00:47:36 - Inspiring Projects and Personal Connections00:55:00 - Hidden Gem-----LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjk216/https://www.thisissubstance.com/https://trgmultimedia.com/-----SPONSOR:Roundstone InsuranceRoundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

LaserWeeder G2 quick facts: - Modular design: Swappable laser “modules” that adapt to different row sizes (80-inch, 40-inch, etc.) - Laser hardware: Each module has 2 lasers; a standard 20-foot machine = 12 modules = 24 lasers - Laser precision: Targets the plant's meristem (≈3mm on small weeds) with pinpoint accuracy - Weed kill speed: 20–150 milliseconds per weed (including detection + laser fire) - Throughput: 8,000–10,000 weeds per minute (Gen 2, up from ~5,000/min on Gen 1) - Coverage rate: 3–4 acres per hour on the 20-foot G2 model - ROI timeline: Farmers typically achieve payback in under 3 years - Yield impact: Up to 50% higher yields in some conventional crops due to eliminating herbicide damage - Price: Standard 20-foot LaserWeeder G2 = $1.4M, larger models scale from there - Global usage: Units in the U.S. (Midwest corn & soy, Idaho & Arizona veggies) and Europe (Spain, Italy tunnel farming)We chat about how these innovations are transforming weed control and farm management with AI, computer vision, and autonomous systems, the precision and efficiency of laser weeding, practical challenges addressed by autonomous tractors, and the significant ROI and yield improvements for farmers. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of farming and sustainable agriculture.00:00 Introduction to TechFirst and Carbon Robotics01:10 The Science Behind Laser Weeding05:46 Introducing Laser Weeder 2.006:39 Modular System and New Laser Technology09:26 Manufacturing and Cost Efficiency11:47 ROI and Benefits for Farmers13:24 Laser Weeder Specifications14:08 Performance and Efficiency14:49 Introduction to AutoTractor17:23 Challenges in Autonomous Farming18:23 Remote Intervention and Starlink Integration23:23 Future of Farming Technology24:50 Health and Environmental Benefits25:18 Conclusion and Farewell

Double Tap Episode 424 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Swampfox Optics, Medical Gear Outfitters, Night Fision, RMA Defense, Mitchell Defense, XTech Tactical, and Matador Arms Welcome to Double Tap, episode 424! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! pew.deals - Dear WLS Greydon S - Do yall think Steyr will become competitive again in the future? They have done interesting things in the past (gas delay pistol, pdws, double stack/double feed pistols, early in the FCU game) but recently they have only had the Aug which is not great or really interesting to me and the M9A2, which is great ergonomically but has not optic cut options and as far as I can tell is currently out of production. Thoughts? Aaron likes to shart - I am debating between a PTR91 or a DS Arms FAL as a range toy. What would the cast pick and why? Note, I already have an ar-10. Aaron D - I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for a small handgun storage device. I will have a son born in November and am looking to keep my weapons in a more safe area rather than just placing them in a drawer. Also I am a big lever gun fan and was thinking about upgrading my Henry model X in 357 with some of the Midwest industries items. Do you have any recommendations for me. Thanks I enjoy listening to your show while driving. (No notes) Co. Er E - I finally bought an MP5 clone (AP5) no thanks to you guys. It's my first roller delayed gun and I'm loving it so far. With tax stamps being reduced to $0 I'm looking to get a suppressor specifically for my MP5. What would you all suggest? It is already tri lug equipped. Thanks all! Josh R - Since Black Rhino Concealment stole tons of money from customers, what other holster companies can you recommend that offer similar levels of customization as BRC. specifically those that are adaptable to the QLS system as the few other companies i have looked into do not specifically say if they have that option.Notes, BRC made fantastic holsters and I have bought numerous, but fuck you for screwing tons of people over, including myself, and for your shitty business decisions. Go wallow in your fucking failures and your moms a hoe Cliff R - My question is in regard to the more recent popularity in Truck guns, mostly meaning pistol ARs, etc. I have an inexpensive full size 16 inch AR 15 has a truck gun underneath the backseat, but I also carry a concealed hang on on my person at all times and don't ever leave it in the truck because I'm not stupid. I see YouTube videos all the time about fancy and expensive AR pistols with braces and expensive electronic sights in 300 Blackout or whatever, mine is just a plain open sight AR Rifle, loaded and ready to go, but not to replace my handgun, which again is always on me. I can't afford that expensive and sometimes unnecessary shit, but the cheap shit I have; works- and the moderately priced handgun that's always on me- also always works. What's you guys thoughts on this ? And also would like to comment on Jeremy's lead exposure and control efforts at his facility. Really good job educating yourself and implementing administrative controls practices and PPE for both your employees and also yourself and efforts to protect your family from exposure to an organic lead. I'm impressed. I'm not going to fuck with you anymore. Good job Bro! Matt Why Do You Care - What are your thoughts on the B&T nato hub?

The benchmark diesel price, which has now declined for a fifth consecutive week, reaching $3.708/gallon for a total drop of 10.4 cents since late July. This downward trend is linked to relative oil price stability, even as Midwest refinery issues impact gasoline prices without significantly affecting diesel. Korean Air has made a significant order for eight Boeing 777-8 freighter aircraft, part of a larger $50 billion deal that helps Boeing compete with Airbus in the next-generation widebody freighter market. This strategic acquisition highlights a push for efficiency in air cargo, as the new freighters promise 30% better fuel efficiency and 25% lower operating costs per ton. The rail merger debate heats up as CPKC advocates against further Class I rail consolidation, asserting that such mergers are unnecessary and could trigger an undesirable industry restructuring. Instead, CPKC champions interline partnerships, citing its collaboration with CSX on the Southeast Mexico Express service as an example of achieving benefits without integration risks. The Department of Transportation's (DOT) warns California, New Mexico, and Washington, threatening to withhold millions in federal highway funds for allegedly failing to enforce federal English proficiency standards for truck drivers. This action follows a fatal accident involving a driver with reported language issues and a history of non-compliance, with states given 30 days to rectify the situation. Explore the Trump administration's challenge to California's Clean Truck Check (CTC) rule, with the EPA proposing to disapprove its application to out-of-state trucks due to concerns about the Commerce Clause and the Clean Air Act. While the rule remains in effect for California-based vehicles, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) views the EPA's move as illegal interference, signaling a potential legal battle over state versus federal authority.

State fairs offer tradition, blue ribbons and fried classics like funnel cakes. And many fairgoers have traditions of their own. Harvest Public Media takes an audio tour of four state fairs around the Midwest. Also, Kansas is known for its massive wheat production, but it has fallen behind because of a lack of new hybrids. Seed companies and universities are making changes that could impact the farmers, and economy, of Kansas.

Retired Intelligence Unit Detective Gary Jenkins interviews author Robert Webster, president of the Kenton County Historical Society, about his book, The Beverly Hills Supper Club – The Untold Story Behind Kentucky's Worst Tragedy. Webster revisits one of America's deadliest nightclub fires, unearthing the possible mafia ties, cover-ups, and shocking safety failures that shaped this haunting night. Robert Webster outlines the rise of the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Southgate, Kentucky, noting its glamorous past hosting Las Vegas–worthy shows—and its lasting link with organized crime in Northern Kentucky. The 1977 Fire and Its Devastation On May 28, 1977, the club was engulfed in flames, ultimately claiming 165 lives—making it one of the deadliest nightclub fires in U.S. history. Safety Failures and Code Violations Webster discusses staggering oversights: overcrowding far beyond legal capacity, lack of marked or accessible exits, absence of sprinklers or alarms, unsafe wiring, poor construction, and inadequate regulatory enforcement—true firetrap conditions. Unraveling the “Untold” Story What truly sets Webster's work apart is his examination of the controversial claim that mafia operatives may have deliberately set the fire in retaliation for the owner's refusal to cooperate—a theory supported by previously unreleased documents, crew testimonies, and survivor accounts. Investigative and Legal Aftermath The episode highlights the State's formal review of the arson allegations, which concluded they lacked “proof,” being largely speculative. Meanwhile, Webster's book earned him a 2013 Kentucky History Award for its contribution to the record.

I have a, a little bit different sort of a story. It's it's part mob and, and part fire protection and a huge fire that was you know, it really hit the headlines all over the United States back in the seventies. It's Bob Webster, Bob really appreciate you coming on the show. I appreciate the invitation. Looking forward to it now, Bob, you got, you got a pretty good accent. You, you got about as good an accent as I do. We're a little bit different speaking, aren't we? Little bit a little bit different. My New York fans and my Chicago fans I bet. And my Southern fans you know, you got that, we got that kind of Midwest twang, I guess, if you will. Exactly. Kentucky and I'm from Missouri and you know, Bob, my, my first relatives came, of course, from Virginia first, then to Kentucky, and then onto Missouri. It's the, okay. It was the immigrant path back there in the 18 hundreds, and I got a ton of them that some of 'em are still down there actually from they came here in the [00:01:00] 1860s, just before the Civil War. They came to Missouri, but okay, but deep roots there in Kentucky. Oh, guys, the, the book is inside the Beverly Hills Supper Club, the untold story behind Kentucky's Worst Tragedy, and it happened in May 28th, 1977 as the Supper Club right along the Ohio River. And Bob is from that area and he does a lot of local history down there. And Bob, you've got other books out there, correct? I do,
Sentera: https://sentera.com/Chandler Coop: https://www.chandlercoop.com/Today's episode is another installment in our Tech-Enabled Advisor series. The idea here is to better understand agtech through the lens of the BUYER and USER of that technology rather than just the entrepreneurs or investors behind it. I've received some super positive feedback about the return of this series. By talking to the buyers rather than the sellers of the tech, we got an unfiltered introduction to the technology and more importantly got to see HOW its used and the VALUE that it provides. To do this, I partner with a company and together we invite one of their customers onto the show. The catch is that they're not allowed to script these individuals or dictate what to say or edit it after it is recorded - it has to be real and unfiltered. So today's episode featuring Nick Einck of Chandler Coop is produced in partnership with Sentera. Sentera is a leading provider of remote imagery solutions. Their industry-leading cameras are compatible with most major drone platforms and enable farmers and crop scouts to efficiently capture high-resolution data. Their capabilities and FieldAgent software tools help farmers and agronomists assess plant-level health, identify stressors, and take action. Also their customized herbicide prescription, SMARTSCRIPT™ Weeds, can be delivered to sprayers with individual nozzle control.So drones equipped with Sentera technology fly over fields at high speeds and generate high-resolution images. The images are processed using proprietary deep learning algorithms to identify the exact location of specific weeds and generate a weed map. This map becomes a targeted prescription for how much product a farmer needs to load into their sprayer, saving money and minimizing waste. This past May, John Deere announced they were acquiring Sentera.So I'm very excited to partner with them for this episode, which is a fantastic deep dive into how innovative technology like this combined with something like See-and-Spray really changes the game.Some background on Nick before we dive in: Nick Einck is the Director of Agronomy at Chandler Co-op, a farmer-owned cooperative serving more than 900 customers and providing agronomic services across over 100,000 acres in southwest Minnesota. He began his career at Chandler as an intern and seed manager before spending nearly a decade with Monsanto and Bayer, gaining deep expertise in agronomy, product development, and grower engagement across the Midwest. Nick returned to Chandler in October 2024, bringing both retail and industry experience to help advance the co-op's agronomic strategy. Today, he leads a multi-location agronomy team focused on leveraging tech-enabled tools—like SmartScript™—to help growers make faster, more informed decisions and drive greater return from every acre.
