April 9, 2025, a two-day pretrial hearing for Bryan Kohberger commenced at 9:00 a.m. Mountain Time in Boise, Idaho. Kohberger, a former criminal justice graduate student at Washington State University, is accused of the November 2022 stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students: Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves. This hearing aims to address several pivotal motions that will shape the forthcoming trial, scheduled to begin on August 11, 2025.Key topics to be discussed include the admissibility of specific evidence, such as Kohberger's Amazon purchase history, which reportedly shows he bought a Ka-Bar knife months before the murders. The defense seeks to exclude this evidence, arguing it could be misinterpreted and unfairly prejudice the jury. Additionally, the court will consider the relevance of Kohberger's autism spectrum disorder diagnosis concerning death penalty eligibility. Judge Steven Hippler will preside over the proceedings and may issue rulings during the hearing or in subsequent written decisions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Momentous evidentiary hearings await Bryan Kohberger ahead of Idaho student murder trial

In this episode, Jon and Adam explore why golfers often obsess over “textbook” swing positions that may have little connection to better performance. Adam breaks down four categories of mechanics—from traits that barely influence impact, to movements that matter but can look very different from player to player, to the few fundamentals that are truly necessary for elite golf. They also discuss why unconventional swings like Ryan Fox's shouldn't be viewed as players “getting away with” bad mechanics, and why amateurs should be cautious about copying techniques and strategies that only work because tour players possess exceptional skill. Jon also shares lessons from his recent trip to Scotland and England, including how firm conditions and heathland golf forced him to rethink club selection, rollout, and course management.

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushAndy Stumpf spent years navigating some of the most extreme environments imaginable as a Navy SEAL, but he says the hardest lessons he learned had nothing to do with combat. In this episode of the Ready State Podcast, Kelly and Juliet Starrett sit down with the retired SEAL Team Six operator, pilot, skydiver, and author of Drownproof to explore the mindset that helps people stay steady when life feels anything but that.From a chaotic military skydive gone spectacularly wrong to the emotional toll of divorce, Andy shares why the ability to "chunk" overwhelming challenges into the next manageable step has become one of the most valuable skills he's ever developed. Along the way, the conversation dives into self-talk, asking for help, ownership, leadership, flow state, and why resilience isn't about being fearless – but about learning to focus on what you can control when everything else feels out of control.Whether you're navigating a personal setback, leading a team, raising kids, or simply trying to build a more resilient mindset, this episode offers practical lessons for staying grounded, making better decisions, and keeping your head above water when the inevitable storms of life arrive.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy resilience is less about toughness and more about controlling what you can controlHow breaking overwhelming challenges into small, manageable steps can help you navigate almost any crisisThe surprising role that self-talk plays in performance, confidence, and decision-making under pressureWhy asking for help is one of the strongest leadership skills, not a sign of weaknessHow finding a healthy "flow state" can improve focus, reduce stress, and build long-term resilience through work, sport, or everyday lifeKey Highlights: (00:00) Intro & Andy's Background(05:15) Origin of "Becoming a Supple Leopard"(11:00) Backstory of "Drownproof" Title(17:49) Where We Learn Resilience & Life Skills(20:22) Breaking Tasks Into Small Chunks(23:12) Andy's Wild HAHO Jump Story(30:43) Everything Goes Wrong Mid-Air(37:52) Getting to Safety & Lesson From the Jump(43:04) How Divorce Was Harder Than SEAL Training(47:38) The Power of Self-Talk(49:11) Asking for Help as a Sign of Strength(54:32) After-Action Reviews, Accountability, & Leadership(54:34) Why 85% Quit BUD/S(58:14) The Chunking vs. Overwhelm Theory(1:00:00) Hell Week & the Psychology of Time(1:09:57) "It Takes Longer to Do It Wrong"(1:17:32) Writing Drownproof(1:20:38) BASE Jumping, Wingsuits, & Risk(1:23:44) Flow State, Not Adrenaline(1:31:23) The Sphere of Influence Exercise(1:33:32) Redirecting Negative Self-Talk(1:34:47) The Infinite Shelf: Money & MeaningHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT and Momentous.

Jeff Byers, CEO of Momentous, returns to Future of Fitness for his third appearance to unpack how the brand grew revenue over 1,000% in three years while landing partnerships with all 32 NFL teams and 10+ Department of Defense contracts. Byers breaks down why Momentous walked away from a $500,000-profit product line over a science and brand-integrity call — literally scrapping $400,000 in inventory rather than sell it through — how the company is approaching its first-ever retail launch with Vitamin Shop, and why a $500,000 commitment to women's health research with Dr. Stacey Sims fits into a bigger 20-year brand strategy. From Arnold Schwarzenegger's endorsement to what AI search optimization means for consumer trust, this conversation is a masterclass in building a supplement brand built to outlast any single quarter.

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushMovement doesn't have to feel like punishment to improve your health. In fact, Caleb Marshall believes the secret to staying active for life has far less to do with discipline – and far more to do with joy. In this episode of the Ready State Podcast, Kelly and Juliet Starrett sit down with the creator of The Fitness Marshall to explore why fun, play, music, and community may be some of the most overlooked ingredients for long-term health. Caleb shares how growing up feeling like he didn't fit into traditional fitness or dance spaces inspired him to build a radically inclusive movement community where people of every age, ability, body type, and experience level feel welcome. They also dive into the surprising psychology behind making fitness sustainable, why creating a judgment-free environment helps people move with more confidence, and how Caleb's devastating ACL injury reshaped his relationship with recovery, resilience, and trusting his body again. Whether you're someone who loves the gym, avoids it altogether, or simply wants to enjoy moving again, this conversation is a powerful reminder that the best exercises are often the ones you look forward to doing.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy joy, play, and fun are essential ingredients for long-term consistency in fitnessHow creating an inclusive, judgment-free environment helps people fall in love with movementThe surprising mental health benefits of dance, rhythm, and being fully present in your bodyWhat Caleb's ACL recovery taught him about resilience, patience, and rebuilding trust in his bodyWhy mastering the basics – instead of chasing the latest fitness trends – is still the most effective path to lasting healthKey Highlights:(00:00) Intro & Guest Bio(03:53) Welcome to the Podcast(05:04) Caleb's Fitness Philosophy & Origin Story(10:07) Joy as a Health Strategy(14:09) Building Truly Inclusive Content(20:10) The Ready State Live Tour Story(23:05) Disarming People Through Non-Judgment(25:03) Buying Richard Simmons' Wardrobe(27:19) Origins of the Booty Army(29:49) How a Fitness Marshall Video Gets Made(34:56) Craziest Fan Moments: Zara Larsson & Sesame Street(38:20) Audience Size & Recognition(40:35) Tearing His ACL on Camera(41:47) The Psychology of Injury Recovery(50:37) Adapting to Seated Chair Workouts(52:17) Launching Active Booty(57:00) Balancing the On-Camera Persona with Real Life(1:00:57) Movement Practice & Training Routine(1:03:16) Staying Trend-Proof(1:05:50) Most Popular Videos Revisited(1:08:02) Infinite Shelf Recommendation(1:09:30) Closing ThoughtsHuge thanks to our sponsors, Momentous and LMNT.

YEAR of meteors! brooding year!I would bind in words retrospective some of your deeds   and signs;I would sing your contest for the 19th Presidentiad;.I would sing how an old man, tall, with white hair,   mounted the scaffold in Virginia;(I was at hand—silent I stood, with teeth shut close—I   watch'd;I stood very near you, old man, when cool and indifferent, but trembling with age and your unheal'd   wounds, you mounted the scaffold;)That was Walt Whitman, from the 1871 edition of Leaves of Grass; and the 19th Presidentiad to which he refers is the election of 1860. No election in the history of the United States can come close to being more confusing, tumultuous and consequential than the election of 1860. Now Jonathan Earle seeks to disclose its mysteries. And in fact in his new book He Has the People: Abraham Lincoln and the Election of 1860, he reveals that the 1860 contest was even stranger than we might have imagined it to be.Jonathan Earle is Associate Professor of History at Louisiana State University, where he also serves as the Roger Hadfield Ogden Dean of the LSU Honors College.

To learn more about the Kairo app, visit their website here: https://kairoapp.co/ In this episode, Jon and Adam are joined by sports psychologist Jim Doorley to explore how visualization can improve both the mental and physical sides of golf. Jim explains why effective visualization is really a form of multisensory mental rehearsal, how it can help golfers prepare for pressure, refine movement patterns, and manage anxiety, and why it works best alongside physical practice rather than replacing it. Jon also shares how a structured visualization routine with the Kairo app helped him feel more prepared for a wedge shot that had caused significant anxiety in tournament play—and ultimately helped him execute it under pressure. They also discuss the research behind visualization, common misconceptions, and practical ways golfers can build it into their weekly routine.

David Epstein is a science journalist and author. Is discipline really freedom? When we feel overwhelmed, it can seem like the problem is that we have no freedom.

There are differences between the sexes that can be meaningful, valuable, and even beautiful. So what are those differences, and why has discussing them become so polarising? Expect to learn why talking about sex differences is so controversial, what the actual definition of sex is, why there are challenges to the binary idea of sex, the largest sex differences between men and women, how sex differences reveal themselves via personality, the danger of denying and/or not respecting the differences in sex, and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: ⁠⁠https://chriswillx.com/deals⁠⁠ Get a free bottle of D3K2, an AG1 Welcome Kit, and more when you first subscribe at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom Get 35% off your first subscription on the best supplements from Momentous at https://livemomentous.com/modernwisdom Get 160+ lab tests for just $365 and save an extra $25 at https://functionhealth.com/modernwisdom Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Get ChatGPT to explore ideas, solve problems, and learn faster at ⁠https://chatgpt.com Timestamps: (00:00) Why Sex Differences Are So Controversial (02:07) Why Sex Differences Matter (07:55) What Actually Is Sex?

To learn more about Jim Waldron's teaching and golf schools, visit: https://balancepointgolf.com/ In this episode, we are joined by golf coach Jim Waldron for a wide-ranging conversation about the mind-body connection in golf. Jim explains how awareness, focused attention, and staying “external” can help golfers quiet the inner voice, manage pressure, and access their skills more freely on the course. The discussion also covers the yips, pre-shot routines, balance, Ben Hogan's mental approach, and why many golfers sabotage themselves by trying too hard to control the outcome. They also explore why consistency is such a misleading goal in golf, and how golfers can find more enjoyment by building a “secondary scorecard” beyond just handicap and score.   Thank you to our show sponsors Lagoon Sleep, For Wellness, Momentous, and Square: Lagoon Sleep helps you find the right pillow for your sleep position and body type with a quick two-minute quiz, giving you a more personalized setup for better rest and recovery.

Julie Piatt is my wife, my partner, and the person I needed sitting across from me for this one. This conversation explores my recent experience with iboga, the root bark medicine used by the Bwiti people of Gabon for thousands of years. We discuss what led me there after decades of recovery and therapy, the confrontational nature of the ceremony, the rebirthing process, the role of the divine feminine, and what has quietly shifted in the aftermath. Julie also weighs in, sharing what she's witnessed from the outside. This one is personal. And I'm glad I finally talked about it. Enjoy.
