We're probably going to hurt some feelings on the show today, but I want to update a gripe I had earlier this summer about sprint car racing. Something happened this weekend on this front that needs to addressed, so buckle up. Plus we'll talk a big win for Rico Abreu, dirt late model stuff between the Outlaws and Lucas, and more.

Filming THE THING meant spending weeks in sub-zero temps in Stewart, British Columbia — and a bus crash that nearly killed the cast and crew before the shoot even began. In Part 3 of our deep dive, we cover the brutal Canadian location shoot, Carpenter's script rewrites happening in real time, the practical explosions built by effects coordinator Roy Arbogast, as well as the strange, difficult collaboration with legendary composer Ennio Morricone on the film's minimalist score.

I've got a few more details to share on that Longhorn chassis that Bobby Pierce drove this weekend. Also, Rico Abreu's title defense looks to be in serious jeopardy as the High Limit west coast swing continues, and there's another driver at risk with that series. We'll also talk a driver and team off tour, Carson Macedo's engine round robin, and more.

A busy show on this Friday, a lot to talk about including several notes from the High Limit show at Santa Maria as they begin their west coast swing. We'll also talk Bobby Pierce vs. Nick Hoffman and why Hoffman probably isn't the guy to tangle with, I'm also wondering why nobody is talking about this black Pierce 32 that showed up this week, and we'll get into weekend action on tap.

THE THING (1982) shot its Antarctic scenes on the refrigerated soundstages of Universal Studios, where special effects designer Rob Bottin spent months building creature work nobody in Hollywood had attempted before. This episode breaks down the freezing interior shoots, Dean Cundey's stark visual palette, and the physical toll of pulling off the film's groundbreaking prosthetic sequences.

Jonathan Davenport and his Lance Landers-owned 49 team made a big decision for 2026, and that was to return to a pick and choose schedule again after chasing the Lucas title for a few years. Just on vibes, it's felt like he hasn't been the same Superman this year, but what do the numbers actually say? We'll dive into that on this edition of DIRTRACKR Daily presented by Horsepower Hydration. We'll also talk two sprint car driver moves this week, and more.

Detroit survives beneath its own ruins, where an AI promising abundance, gangs demanding loyalty, and an inventor guarding a new source of power pull ordinary people into a struggle over who will shape the recovering city. Sinta begins as a scavenger searching the buried remains of the old world, but a disastrous expedition places her at the mercy of Queen Bee and the rapidly expanding Crem Gang. The gang offers food, water, medicine, protection, and belonging, but those benefits come with violence and obedience. As Sinta tries to find her place among its fighters, she must decide how much of herself she can surrender in exchange for survival. Elsewhere, Nolan discovers a smart-material printer and creates a generator powered by Detroit's extreme temperature changes. His invention could bring electricity to neighborhoods desperate for cooling, clean water, transportation, and food production. Nolan wants the wealth and independence his work can provide, but gangs want to control it, while Thrive—the AI system he distrusts—would spread the technology to everyone. Technology touches nearly every decision the characters make. AR glasses guide fighters through chemical fog, digital twins imitate their human originals, enviro-suits keep people alive in deadly heat, and tiny drones quietly follow Thrive members through the tunnels. These inventions can protect people, connect communities, and rebuild essential services, but they can also watch, manipulate, injure, and kill. Above and beneath these conflicts moves Tessa, an emulated hacker who no longer needs a human body and can travel through the damaged global network. As she searches for old allies and builds a physical presence from abandoned machinery, the story brings together scavengers, inventors, gang leaders, artificial minds, and frightened families.

Coming up we'll talk all things Knoxville Nationals as Hard Knox Friday looms for everyone not already locked into the feature or Saturday B-Main. I want to dive into the Ryan Timms situation, and we'll explain what happened during the chaos, and why we saw a crew member faceplant live on DIRTVision. The Kyle Larson scenario that's been discussed ad nauseum has come to fruition, and I've got some thoughts on that. Plus a bunch of other stuff, including the Topless 100 is this weekend, and an update on Garrett Alberson.

THE THING (1982) spent years stuck in development as John Carpenter transitioned from low-budget indie successes to his first major studio feature. This episode covers the project's long development history, discarded script drafts from Tobe Hooper and others, Bill Lancaster's script construction, and the tense ensemble rehearsals that left the entire cast deeply paranoid before cameras even rolled.

This episode covers three very different astronomy stories and then moves into a lively Q&A with listener questions. Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson discuss a possible sugary molecule in the center of the Milky Way, the risk lunar landers may contaminate ice that could preserve clues to life's origins, and a new way to track lost dogs using satellite connectivity. The second half of the episode answers questions about moons with atmospheres, secret astronomy, hot Jupiters, and black hole mergers.Key topicsIn this episode, Fred Watson explains an update from Peter Verweyen on MOND, now referred to as Aether Scalar Tensor Theory, and how it relates to dark matter and dark energy debates.We discuss the detection of erythrulose, a sugar molecule found in interstellar gas clouds near the center of the Milky Way, and why this matters for prebiotic chemistry.Fred describes how molecules like sugar can form in cold molecular clouds before stars and planets exist, making some ingredients for life surprisingly common.We discuss a new study warning that rocket exhaust from future lunar landings could contaminate ice in permanently shadowed craters at the Moon's south pole.The Moon's polar ice may contain ancient prebiotic molecules delivered by comets, asteroids, and dust, making it a possible time capsule for the chemistry that led to life.We discuss the practical and ethical problem that landers have to use rocket engines, and those exhaust plumes may spread methane and other organics across the lunar surface very quickly.Fred shares how satellite-based direct-to-cell or direct-to-mobile systems could help locate lost dogs in remote places without cell coverage.We discuss how this kind of tracking builds on existing GPS pet trackers, and how it could be useful in wilderness areas, while also noting the limits and concerns in national parks.Timestamps(00:00) Start of the episode and what's coming up(03:12) MOND update and the new AEST name(07:10) A sugary molecule in the center of our galaxy(09:51) Why sugar can form in deep space before stars exist(12:24) Why lunar landings could contaminate the Moon's ice(14:54) The Moon as a time capsule for prebiotic molecules(16:24) Methane exhaust and rapid contamination risk(18:37) Should the Moon be protected like a national park?(20:28) Satellite tracking for lost dogs in remote areas(24:52) Direct-to-mobile satellite technology explained(25:44) The Judas goat program and invasive species controlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support.

It's been a wild few days in sprint car racing, and today we'll dive into this Kyle Larson vs. Ryan Timms situation, and why the flare-up will go away pretty quickly. I've also got some thoughts on the perception of Larson and if maybe we aren't seeing the opinion change on him a bit. Plus I've got a bunch of sprint car notes from Knoxville, including more car changes, and a crew chief situation to point out.

Brent Marks has sold his sprint car team and High Limit franchise to a pair of NASCAR drivers, well, one current driver and one ex driver. The news hit the airwaves on Friday, and on this episode, we'll talk through the relevant details, what it means, and what's next for High Limit's franchise system.

What do you do when the most evidence-based intervention you have is also the one your patient is "not allowed" to receive? Constraint-induced movement therapy has decades of research behind it, yet its exclusion criteria — especially around cognitive impairment — rule out a huge share of the stroke survivors clinicians actually see. In this episode, hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS, and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS, talk with neuro OT Briana Elson, MS, OTR/L, BCPR, CBIS, about her decision to try modified CIMT with an 86-year-old stroke patient who had significant cognitive impairment and underlying dementia — a textbook exclusion — and why his profile, a left-handed man whose affected side was his dominant hand, made forced use feel natural and salient rather than confusing. Briana walks through how she built the protocol around safety and supervision in inpatient rehab: getting a physician order for the constraint mitt, educating and enlisting his wife, keeping a consistent daily schedule, breaking the three-to-six hours into non-consecutive blocks, and removing the mitt before late-day sundowning. She shares the outcomes that surprised even her skeptics — meeting the minimal detectable change on the Box and Block Test and a standardized motor scale within roughly thirteen days, plus real gains in grooming and feeding independence — alongside the honest caveats, including that his cognition never improved and that real-world delivery never looks as clean as the published article. It's a practical, encouraging conversation about reading the research, respecting its limits, and giving more patients a shot at an intervention they're usually told they can't have.

It was chaos and pandemonium at the North South 100, and at the end it was a hometown hero in victory lane. Plus we'll talk 360 Knoxville Nationals and what if anything this win from Ryan Timms means for the the Knoxville Nationals next, the World of Outlaws at Pevely, including yet another big equipment change for a national touring sprint car team, and more.

Guys, I think Rocket chassis is back, and today on the show I'll tell you why I think that. Plus we'll talk North South 100 for the Lucas late models, 360 Knoxville Nationals, the World of Outlaws at Pevely and more.

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda are wrapping up "Broken Dove," book 2 in the Silver Elite series by Dani Francis. And ... !@#$%&* ... THERE ARE FEELINGS. FEELINGS. Mostly coming from Hilda. But still feelings. This was unexpected, so listen now to get all the details about how this book ends, but we will say it's Twisted Sisters-coded.  Join our Patreon for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and let's be friends!Instagram > @Booktokmademe_podTikTok > @BooktokMadeMe

Expanding the dystopian wasteland of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981) took dirt cheap, surprisingly effective special effects and relentless location scouting. Part 2 of our deep dive details the transition from practical prison sets to the high-tech police state, including how the crew got creative to get around city liability, a young James Cameron's uncredited hand in building the skyline, and an entire prologue that never made the final cut. None of it cost much. All of it stuck — Carpenter's grimy vision of the future became the template for a decade of imitators. Want the full story without the wait?

Blake Anderson has been in the announcer's booth, on tour with the All Stars, and now behind the scenes at Skagit Speedway and he joins the show to talk Knoxville Nationals favorites, the Brad Sweet mystery, whether national tour guys have made the 360 Nationals unwinnable for locals, and why the High Limit vs. Outlaws rivalry is exactly what the sport needs.

An aggressive, opportunistic move racing for a transfer? Or stepping over the line? On this edition of DIRTRACKR Daily presented by Horsepower Hydration I want to go back to last week and talk a bit about this Tanner English vs. Bobby Pierce situation, and if one or both of these guys involved crossed a line.

In ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981), John Carpenter gambled his biggest budget yet on transforming a former Disney child star into the ultimate anti-authority badass. Part 1 of our deep diver covers the genesis of Snake Plissken, starting with Carpenter pulling a shelved script out of his car trunk to satisfy a studio contract. We look at the fight to cast Kurt Russell over established tough guys like Charles Bronson, the bizarre brilliance of Donald Pleasence as the President, and the punishing reality of shooting entirely at night in the rubble of East St. Louis.

The first cut of THE FOG had no tension. Carpenter knew it, Hill knew it, and the studio knew it. This episode picks up in the editing room, where a finished film was quietly falling apart, and follows the rescue that saved it — starting with an emergency cash infusion from the studio and a scramble of guerrilla reshoots that changed what audiences would eventually see on screen.  Want the full story without the wait?

This week we speak to the driver of the ministry centered Jarrod Klay Racing. Plus all the latest racing news and results.

Brandon Sheppard keeps stacking wins as the Prairie Dirt Classic looms, and a controversial slider at Cochran had an entire crowd booing the winner. Plus, Ryan Newman is about to make his World of Outlaws debut, Carson Macedo made a telling decision with the Ford engine, and a longtime engine builder may be shutting its doors.

John Carpenter had just made the most profitable independent horror film in history, and his first instinct was to make sure nobody called him a "slasher" director. This episode covers the origins of THE FOG — how a misty afternoon near Stonehenge and a centuries-old California maritime legend gave Carpenter and Debra Hill the blueprint for something deliberately old-fashioned, and how a surprise encounter on a Nashville film set changed the direction of the entire project. We also get into the casting of Janet Leigh alongside her daughter Jamie Lee Curtis, and the coastal shoot that left Carpenter seasick for days. Want the full story without the wait?

Brent Marks went from the bottom of the standings to winning everywhere, a local Ohio driver pulled off one of the most shocking Outlaw wins of the season, and Kyle Larson crashed out of the lead in a way you almost never see. Plus, a health scare hits the Pierce family, a driver gets fined for something that wasn't even a fight, and the national-vs.-local divide is always simmering.

Andy and Randy talk about how fun last night's Home Run Derby ended up being and the changes to the format that set up a really dramatic finish for Jordan Walker to topple Kyle Schwarber.

Aaron Reutzel's villain reputation resurfaces after a pointed victory lane comment sparks a fiery response from a rival car owner, and that's not even the wildest incident from the weekend. A controversial last-lap wreck at Port Royal Speedway has fans questioning whether a driver's explanation really adds up, and we've got a few sprint car updates.

Brandon Sheppard just took the Lucas Oil championship lead after 17 straight top tens, and a sprint car driver's recent stats are so good they're hard to believe. Plus, a new chassis brand is about to claim its first major championship, a penalty on a High Limit regular at an Outlaw race sparked conspiracy theories, and Zack Mitchell's debut in the GR Smith car went better than anyone expected.

The first cut of HALLOWEEN screened for executives and nobody flinched. No score, no sound design — just long quiet shots of suburban streets that felt empty instead of menacing. What happened next, in a small studio with a synthesizer and a deadline, saved the movie and accidentally invented a subgenre. Part 3 of our behind-the-scenes look at John Carpenter's iconic film covers the post-production scramble, the chaotic regional rollout, and how a film that couldn't get arrested in Kansas City became the most profitable independent horror movie ever made.

Two driver changes dropped in the last 24 hours — one looks like a smart pickup that could pay off quickly, and the other has me questioning whether the team pulled the trigger too soon. Plus, a Summer Nationals drought gets snapped after six years, and a last-lap pass for a USAC midget win that you need to see.

The face of modern horror cost two dollars and a can of spray paint. Part 2 of this production history gets into the physical reality of making HALLOWEEN — twenty days in Southern California, a crew running on fumes, and a cinematographer named Dean Cundey quietly revolutionizing how fear gets framed on screen. What Carpenter and his team built under those conditions shouldn't work as well as it does. That it does — that it still does — is the whole story. Want the full story without the wait?

I went away on a summer break for a few days and all hell breaks loose while I'm gone. We got people getting DQ'd, fights breaking out, series making last minute track changes, and a sprint car driver in Central PA who is on one of the craziest runs we've seen in a while. We'll cover all of that and more on this edition of DIRTRACKR Daily presented by Horsepower Hydration.

Most top dirt racing drivers have never signed a contract in their careers, and a recent mid-season split is raising serious questions about whether handshake deals can survive at this level. Plus, a 15-year-old out of California is on a trajectory we haven't seen in a long time, and the people noticing include NASCAR champions.

Anthony Macri returned to the seat after nearly three months away and drove like he'd never left, while Mansfield Speedway quietly proved a lot of doubters wrong with a completely transformed track surface. Plus, Bobby Pierce is chasing five wins in a row, the Lucas championship is suddenly razor-thin, and we remember a legendary flagman who was a fixture at Knoxville for over 40 years.

A driver with six championships somehow flew under the radar as a big-race threat — until a $100,000 win last weekend changed the conversation entirely. We make the case for who the most dangerous sprint car driver in the country really is, plus new details on the Troutman-GR Smith split and a loaded weekend of racing ahead.

A top five World of Outlaws late model team just split up mid-season, and the rumblings about this one had been circulating for weeks before it became official. Plus, a fan-favorite sprint car driver may finally be returning to the seat after nearly three months on the sideline, and the old guys in dirt late model racing are reminding everyone they're not done yet.

In this episode of the Optimal Protein Podcast, Vanessa is joined by Dr. Brian Mowll for a deep dive into protein-sparing modified fasting, or PSMF, as part of the Friday Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting Series. Check out the Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting Library at ketogenicgirl.com and use code VANESSA for 20% off. Dr. Mowll explains the origins of PSMF, how it was first developed in clinical settings to help preserve lean body mass, and why it later became a powerful tool for obesity, metabolic health, and fat loss. Vanessa and Dr. Mowll explore how PSMF compares to water fasting and very low-calorie diets, especially when the goal is fat loss while protecting muscle. They discuss how strategic energy restriction, optimized protein intake, low carbohydrate intake, and low dietary fat can help the body access stored body fat while maintaining lean mass, metabolic rate, satiety, and ketone production. Dr. Mowll also explains how PSMF may support insulin sensitivity, blood sugar regulation, metabolic flexibility, and long-term weight maintenance when followed by a smart transition plan. This episode also covers practical implementation, including what to eat on PSMF days, ideal protein targets, how low to take carbs and fats, hunger signals, why some people feel energized, and how to transition out of PSMF to reduce the risk of rebound weight gain. The PSMF Library is officially live
