Ben and Tumaini (whom Redditors agree has "quietly become the best tennis journalist on the planet") are delighted to have "Episode 400," which is actually the 566th episode of NCR with real counting, coincide with an annual favorite episode title. After a long media day in Paris, we break down the men and then the women. Is anyone there to disrupt a Sinner-Alcaraz final, which would be their first at a Grand Slam event?  On the men's side, is Aryna Sabalenka ready to hurdle through a tough draw? And can Iga Swiatek get back on track in time to make major history? Plus pretty much everyone else among the 256 players in these draws.  Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!

Forestalling NCR's imminent quatercentenary ever so slightly, Ben and Tumaini turn on the microphone together for the first time in their shared Paris abode, just to wrap up some loose ends from Rome before our big French Open draw show later this week. Tumaini discusses the incredible superstar status of Jannik Sinner, who enraptured the public and put on some dominant performances en route to the final, where he was eventually stopped by Carlos Alcaraz. We also discuss Jasmine Paolini, as well as her mentor Sara Errani, whom we spoke with today at French Open qualifying as she wraps up a memorable singles career.

Topics include: how Nadal's frenetic, obsessive energy shaped Chris's own writing process, Nadal's language proficiencies (or lack thereof), how the media access landscape has changed over the course of his career reporting on Nadal, Nadal's complex relationships with his top rivals, the specter of doping allegations over Nadal's era, how top athletes like Nadal decide when to stop, the archetype of Spanish masculinity Nadal presents and lack of women in his tennis orbit, and more.

Ben and Tumaini (who can also be watched in a video version of this episode on NCR's Patreon) found a moment to meet up between the end of a wild Madrid and Jannik Sinner's big comeback in Rome. We discuss the post-apocalyptic vibes of Madrid, including a detailed rundown from Tumaini on how he navigated the power outage early in the event. Along with discussing the big runs by Casper Ruud, Jack Draper, and Aryna Sabalenka, we discuss what's up with Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek. Then we shift our attention to Rome, where there've been some unideal renovations to some nice Mussolini legacy work, and where Jannik Sinner could pick up right where he left off.

This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko unpack the devastating mass casualty event at Vancouver's Lapu Lapu Festival, where eleven people were killed and many more injured after a vehicle was driven into the crowd. They explain the legal landscape surrounding the second-degree murder charges, why first-degree murder wasn't laid (yet), and how additional charges could be added as the investigation evolves. Kyla and Paul also explore the public's questions around sentencing, parole ineligibility, and the potential for not criminally responsible (NCR) arguments. They consider how these events highlight systemic issues in how we license drivers, evaluate mental health risks, and design public policy in the wake of tragedy—while warning against knee-jerk legislative responses.

Co dzieje się, gdy papież umiera?Watykan pogrążony w ciszy, pierścień zostaje zniszczony, a kardynałowie zamykają się w Kaplicy Sykstyńskiej bez kontaktu ze światem.Ale czy to naprawdę Duch Święty wybiera papieża?W tym odcinku zaglądamy za kulisy konklawe – pełnego rytuałów, politycznych układów i... podejrzeń.Mówimy o przepowiedniach św. Malachiasza i Nostradamusa, o papieżu, który miał dziesięcioro dzieci, i o tym, czy papież Franciszek mógł być ostatnim.W tle pojawia się mafia, tajemnice Watykanu i pytanie, które coraz częściej pada:Czy Watykan przetrwa XXI wiek?

What happens when you combine decades of payment industry expertise with a mission to solve one of the most overlooked problems in business banking? Brian Bailey, President of Clip Money, joins us to reveal how his company is transforming the way businesses handle cash deposits.Despite the rapid growth of digital payments, cash still accounts for nearly 30% of all in-store transactions. Yet for decades, businesses have been forced to operate within an antiquated system - physically carrying cash to bank branches during limited hours, using paper deposit slips, and lacking visibility into their deposit lifecycle. With a network of 7,000 deposit locations across North America, Clip Money offers a revolutionary alternative that saves businesses 40-60% on deposit costs while providing next-business-day credit.Bailey walks us through Clip's innovative shared network model that includes smart safes in shopping malls, deposit-enabled ATMs in partnership with NCR Atleos, and over-the-counter services through Green Dot's retail network. This infrastructure allows businesses to make deposits on their schedule, closer to their locations, while gaining full digital transparency through Clip's software platform. The result is a win-win proposition - businesses improve cash flow and reduce costs, while financial institutions can move cash handling outside their branches.Drawing from his extensive background at NCR and Cardtronics, Bailey shares valuable insights about payment infrastructure evolution, regulatory challenges for fintech innovators, and the future of shared payment networks.

Ben and Tumaini (who can also be looked at as they talk in a video version of this episode on NCR's Patreon, if you're into that sort of thing) catch up after a few weeks apart at various stops on the tour. We first, though, discuss why odd stories like Harriet Dart complaining about how her opponent smells wind up being the tennis stories that really break through to the mainstream. What can get people talking about tennis? And is it something that the tours with all their millions spent on promotion could capitalize on? We then catch up a bit on our respective recent tournament travels and big happenings in the world of tennis since our last episode, including Jakub Mensik winning Miami (and why he's less hyped than other prospects), Carlos Alcaraz getting back on the board in Monte Carlo, Iga Swiatek's prospects of returning to championly ways on clay, and much more.  Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!

Ben and Tumaini reconvene to try to make sense of the big lawsuit filed by the PTPA and a group of lesser-known players against the powers-that-be in tennis, what we make of the organization, and this big swing they're taking after years of not being recognized. What do we make of the PTPA's 163-page laundry list of claims? What points resonate and which don't? And is there an inconsistency between their purported purpose for players and the arguments they're making? (You can also read Ben's interview with PTPA executive director Ahmad Nassar.) After spending the first 40 minutes on that, we discuss other topics that have emerged in the past week or so, including Novak Djokovic's image being frequently used by right-wing politicians, the current ATP inconsistency, Emma Raducanu's struggles and resurgence, and Naomi Osaka's trajectory. We end with a melancholy happy trails to author John Feinstein, and lots of love for NCR's dear Courtney.  Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!

Ben and Tumaini are back together again after tennis traveled through the desert of Indian Wells, discussing crowning a new queen teen, a steady Brit, and women's tennis going for a new look. We discuss Mirra Andreeva's success, her improvements, her admirable coach Conchita Martinez, and how her Russia nationality might play into her role as a new star. We also discuss Aryna Sabalenka's saltiness in defeat, and Iga Swiatek's long defense of herself after a semifinal tantrum.  We also discuss Jack Draper and his journey (which Tumaini has covered closely), and how he's emerging at a time when other top men are flailing. And lastly we discuss the WTA's rebrand, and what we think should be their priorities going forward.

A Canadian adult entertainment company faces an $850,000 fine after Health Canada's undercover operation exposed a lucrative scheme selling "natural health products" that secretly contained prescription medication. Michael Mulligan walks us through how MFH International Enterprises marketed pills called "Harmony" and "Passion Femme" as herbal alternatives while charging premium prices of nearly $140 for just 10 tablets. Health Canada's testing revealed these products contained triple doses of erectile dysfunction medications - putting unwitting consumers at serious risk, especially those with heart conditions.The case raises alarming questions about consumer safety in the natural health product market. As Mulligan points out, "Not everything natural is necessarily good for you," noting that even legitimately natural ingredients with exotic names like "horny goat weed" and "tomcat" deserve scrutiny. The court's substantial fine was carefully calculated to exceed the company's profits while remaining collectible over five years - though Mulligan questions whether corporate shell games might ultimately prevent full payment.The episode also examines a sobering reality about Canada's "not criminally responsible" verdicts. A man found NCR in 2012 for criminal harassment and uttering threats - offences that typically wouldn't result in lengthy prison terms - has now spent twelve years under involuntary psychiatric detention. His case starkly illustrates how NCR findings can lead to indefinite confinement rather than the "get out of jail free card" commonly assumed by the public.Closing with an analysis of British Columbia's proposed Economic Stabilization Act, Mulligan warns about delegating sweeping regulatory powers that bypass legislative debate. The bill would allow the government to rapidly impose tolls, fees, and restrictions through regulation alone - potentially creating chaotic policy shifts similar to what we've seen with international tariffs. While quick responses to economic challenges are appealing, Mulligan cautions that such broad authority demands careful consideration: "We should slow down... if you grant sweeping powers to do things which could seriously impact people's lives and livelihoods, sometimes you're going to cause serious harm."Note: Legally Speaking With Michael Mulligan is now live on CFAX 1070 at 12:30 pm rather than 10:30 am every Thursday. Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

Ben and Tumaini reconvene for the first time back in their cold home hemisphere to discuss tennis happenings in February, which involve several complex stories. First, we discussed the late-breaking news of Stefano Vukov receiving a one-year ban from the WTA, and the details that were reported by The Athletic about the WTA's reasons. Is this new proactive approach correct? Second we discuss the retirement announcement of Simona Halep, whose legacy became much more complicated in the last few years. How should her career be remembered? We then cover the many changes happening to the August schedule, including the elongated Canada and Cincinnati events, the US Open's Sunday start, and then mostly the U.S. Open's radical revamp of the mixed doubles event.  After some results chats and thank yous, we end with a discussion of Serena at the Super Bowl and our memories of her time with Drake.

Sabotage. Intimidation. Disinformation and junk mail campaigns. These were the four horsemen of John H. Patterson, the mad king of Dayton, Ohio. As founder of the National Cash Register Company in 1884, he contributed little to the design of the world's first cash registers. As a marketer and ruthless monopolist, he revolutionized sales practices in the United States, building a sprawling empire that went out of its way to gobble up even the most marginal competitors. In time, his monomania and eccentricities led to his own demise, but his legacy as an industrialist was nothing if not complex.

B-Side Bois: A Rugby Podcast – Season 4 Premiere! The Bois are back for Season 4!

Ben and Tumaini recorded one last show from this lovely trip to Melbourne, discussing the two singles finals. We start with the triumphant, tour-de-force title run by Madison Keys, who was the best version of herself in many ways as she tore through a historically tough draw to win her first major after years of struggling with expectations. What made Keys so impressive? There are many correct answers. Then on the men's side, we discuss Jannik Sinner's demolition of Alexander Zverev, not facing a break point in the entire final, and where Sinner goes from here. We also discuss the protestor who disrupted the trophy ceremony by shouting support for Zverev's ex-girlfriends/accusers (an incident Ben wrote about at Bounces).

Ben and Tumaini are together after four singles semifinals are in the books, one of which was an epic and one of which was a short story. We start with the women, where Aryna Sabalenka played perhaps her best match of the tournament so far to beat Paula Badosa, booking a spot in the final against Madison Keys, who played perhaps the best match of her career to beat Iga Swiatek in the other semifinal. (Also, if you're interested solely in the women, FYI we circle back to talk more about Iga Swiatek at the very end of the show.)  We then move onto the men, where Jannik Sinner was very solid against Ben Shelton, and Novak Djokovic stopped after just a set, putting Alexander Zverev into the final abruptly and drawing boos.

Ben and Tumaini are back after another round is in the books at this Australian Open, looking back at the quarterfinals and setting up the semifinal slate. We start with the women, where Coco Gauff suffered a surprising unraveling at the hands of experienced thread-puller Paula Badosa. Badosa will play Aryna Sabalenka, while Madison Keys will face Iga Swiatek in the other semifinal. On the men's side, Novak Djokovic won a thriller against Carlos Alcaraz to book his spot in the semifinal, and Ben Shelton sounded off about the on-court interviews after booking a spot in the other semifinal.  Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!

Ben and Tumaini are checking back in midway through this Australian Open, just as the quarterfinals are about to begin. We break down the women's stories first, including check-ins on top contenders Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and Iga Swiatek. We also discuss all the fuss over Danielle Collins giving it back to a hostile crowd, Madison Keys' resurgence, and Elina Svitolina's transformation. On the men's side, we discuss the upcoming showdown between Djokovic and Alcaraz, why Djokovic's boycott of Channel Nine was justified, and Jannik Sinner struggling in the heat.

Ben and Tumaini come to you from the rollicking first week of the Australian Open for a quick catch up on the major stories so far through two rounds here. We discuss Joao Fonseca and Jakub Mensik's non-shock upset wins, Djokovic and Murray's early returns, Gael Monfils solving Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, Naomi Osaka's great wins over tough foes, Zheng Qinwen getting rattled against Laura Siegemund, and big wins by Brits Emma Raducanu, Jacob Fearnley, and Jack Draper.

Ben and Tumaini have been working away at the Australian Open in the build-up to the main draw, taking a break to enjoy the sublime "One Point Slam," and writing lots of stuff we think you'll enjoy like Ben's piece on qualifying and interview with Goran Ivanisevic, and Tumaini's inside look at Murray coaching Djokovic and his fun story on cheating in tennis practice. But the Australian Open draws are newly out, and they're our main focus on this episode, as we break down all the big contenders and the fun first round match-ups in Melbourne.  Can anyone stop Jannik Sinner? Could Coco Gauff be a favorite over Aryna Sabalenka? All that and more! Enjoy!  Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable the guys discuss what's new so far in 2025 including Mark Zuckerberg's announcement about changes with Meta--the end to "fact-checking", and switch from censorship to free speech, the Trump factor and Section 230. NCR also looks at Canadian PM Justin Trudeau stepping down, Biden's executive action banning drilling on 624 million acres and we review January 6th 4 years later--is the media hyper-obsessed with making this a "date that will live in infamy"?

Ben and Tumaini are back together again in Melbourne, teeing up a season that started earlier than ever before, and a first week that ended with a classic. We discuss the United Cup, which reached a peak in the final with Coco Gauff beating Iga Swiatek, turning what had been a hopelessly lopsided rivalry into an absolute thriller, a shift that could have major ramifications atop women's tennis. We also discuss the rest of the United Cup, a successful event that really seems to have found its footing.  We also discuss Naomi Osaka's run to the final in Auckland, which ended in an abrupt injury retirement after winning the first set. We then cover Tumaini's trip to Brisbane, where there was a servebot renaissance and a chatty Novak Djokovic. On a more serious topic, we then cover the WTA confirming the existence of an investigation into Elena Rybakina's controversial coach Stefano Vukov, as reported by The Athletic. What do we know and—what don't we know—about the case at this juncture? Then to end with much more fun, Tumaini takes the "Z" Trivia quiz Ben recently wrote for Bounces.  Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!
