Cole Costello joins host Alex for a spin on the viral trend of ranking different regions of the United States based on one question: if they had to pick one region to live in forever, where would it be? From the Pacific Northwest and desert Southwest to the Great Lakes, Deep South, and New England, they weigh culture, climate, geography, cities, and what makes somewhere actually feel livable. Along the way, Alex and Cole find plenty to agree on—and some very different ideas about what makes a region worth calling home.

Dana Robinson Slote and I originally connected on LinkedIn, where I stumbled upon her work and was immediately excited about some of our similar passions. In getting to know her a bit and learning more about her strengths, I knew she would be a great fit for the show. She loves to talk about things many leaders dread, such as public speaking and managing up. I love a leader who brings simplicity to things that can be overwhelming, if not downright scary. Dana does just that. Dana brings more than two decades of experience in the political arena and the public sector to her work as a communications strategist. In her current role, she's responsible for advocacy communications in the External Affairs division for the country's largest regional children's hospital, serving four states and one million square miles. In prior positions, Dana served as the Director of Media Relations at the University of Washington and as the Director of Communications for the Seattle City Council and the Washington State Senate concurrently. Dana earned a bachelor's degree in communication from Western Washington University and a master's degree in communication and organizational leadership from Gonzaga University. She's also an affiliate faculty member at UW's Communication Leadership program, a world traveler, and a two-time Ironman triathlete with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest. Listen in to hear Dana share: How her overlap of working in politics, public sector work, media relations, and being a two-time Ironman triathlete brought her to her current leadership role How to find opportunities in moments of massive inconvenience or disappointment How to create “fake stakes” as self-imposed deadlines for discipline and accountability Her belief that all speaking is public speaking and her 3 Ps to make public speaking more approachable How to manage up more effectively by asking strategic questions to open up conversations Links Mentioned: LI: Dana Robinson Slote, M.A. | LinkedIn Connect with Dana on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danarobinsonslote1 [2 Spots Left] Join my Aligned Leadership Incubator: saradean.com/aligned Hire Sara to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with Sara: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with Sara on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Watch Shameless Leadership episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@saradeanspeaks Thank you to our sponsor, Ironwall.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson Recall Collapses, Petitioners Hit With Court Fees

A Seattle couple's attempt to recall Mayor Katie Wilson imploded this week in a courtroom that nobody expected to see. The petitioners abruptly withdrew their petition at a surprise hearing — citing a need for "more investigation" — only to be admonished by the judge, warned about sanctions, and left staring down a demand from the city for court fees. They represented themselves through most of it. The judge called it highly irregular. The city called it a mulligan.Mayor Wilson held a press conference afterward and managed to say almost nothing. She pivoted to affordability talking points, dodged every pointed question about the recall, and her press team reportedly tried to block camera angles from reporters. This is Seattle accountability in action: an elderly couple gets financially punished for taking on City Hall while the mayor's office spins the collapse as a vindication.Sean breaks down why the petition was always on thin legal ice — a missed deadline, a 41A1A filing issue, and a judge who gave the petitioners one courtesy pass they couldn't convert — but doesn't pretend the underlying frustration is wrong. Full credit goes to Melinda Jacobson for having the guts to push forward without money or lawyers. The case is effectively done. The couple says it's not over.

Amazon dropped a WARN notice Monday confirming 121 layoffs across Washington state — 49 at the SEA106 tower in Bellevue alone, more across Seattle's downtown offices, and 32 warehouse workers at the BFI1 fulfillment center in Sumner. Roles cut span entry-level software engineers and applied scientists all the way to a vice president of legal and senior product managers. Another hundred-plus jobs gone from a state that has been hemorrhaging tech employment all year.The WARN database tells a broader story: T-Mobile, Columbia Hospitality, Starbucks, Salesforce, Tableau, Zillow, and Visa have all filed notices in recent months. Washington's political class has been conspicuously quiet — except for Katie Wilson, who is actively pushing a millionaire tax that would accelerate the very exodus these filings document.Sean connects the dots: Seattle's payroll tax already drove Amazon and others to shift headcount to Bellevue and out of state entirely. The proposed millionaire tax adds another layer of incentive to take capital, executives, and jobs to Tennessee, Texas, or anywhere that isn't taxing success out of existence. The cause and effect is playing out in real time on the WARN database every Monday morning.CHAPTERS0:00 Amazon lays off 121 workers across…1:40 Amazon Lays Off 121 in Washington2:14 Amazon WARN Filing Hits Bellevue and…4:24 AI Blamed for Amazon Tech Layoffs5:49 T-Mobile Adds to Washington Layoff Wave7:04 Seattle Payroll Tax Pushes Jobs South8:07 Starbucks Workers Reject Nashville…9:42 Google, Salesforce, Zillow Cut…11:03 Salesforce and Starbucks Detail…12:30 WA Politicians Dismiss Millionaire…14:17 Seattle Funds LGBTQ Programs Despite…17:24 Amazon and Starbucks Exit Washington…19:01 Meta Pulls Back from Washington State22:21 Millionaire Tax Accelerates Washington…Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics, the Seattle doom loop, and the stories the legacy press keeps burying.#NFRP #Amazon #WashingtonGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Is there some deeper meaning to the traffic cone on Sherlock's head? Or is it just silly vandalism? Most people seemed to think it was the latter, but I think it was a hidden symbol of some mystery. How could it not be? I. June 25 was the tenth anniversary of my blog. I understand that, traditionally, an anniversary post would come out on the actual day, or at least the same week, but I blew past the occasion without even realizing it. And then, even when I did realize it, I was too busy with other stuff to jump on it. In fact I haven't posted anything since July 3. I must have been overcome by the patriotic fervor of our nation's 250th anniversary.1 As a better person than me has said, it's self-indulgent, and even unseemly to dwell overly long on one's recent gap in writing. But this is destined to be a very self-indulgent post so I'm going to ignore her (obviously wise) advice, and explain the gap in great detail. July 3 was two days after my first experience passing a kidney stone. Then two days after that (July 5) I went on a week-long road-trip around the Pacific Northwest.

Sanctuary Portland 80% Fentanyl Traffickers Are Illegal Honduran Migrants

Federal prosecutors just confirmed that 80% of fentanyl trafficking defendants arrested in Portland since 2023 are illegal immigrants — nearly all from Honduras. That's roughly 80 of 100 defendants charged in a joint crackdown that seized 100 kilograms of fentanyl, 40 firearms, and $1.3 million in cash. Oregon U.S. Attorney Scott Bradford framed the haul plainly: enough fentanyl to kill 50 million people, or every Oregonian eleven times over.Portland spent years hosting open-air drug markets while sanctuary policies shielded criminal migrants from federal immigration enforcement. The West Coast fentanyl supply chain has deep roots — Honduran trafficking networks built their American operations in San Francisco's Tenderloin decades ago, and the money has been flowing home ever since. Villages in Honduras now have mansions flying 49ers and Warriors colors, funded by Pacific Northwest drug profits.The federal crackdown is a genuine win, but it took a U.S. Attorney to do what soft-on-crime local politicians refused. Sanctuary policy didn't just fail to stop this — it created the conditions for it. The data on who was arrested isn't an accusation. It's an answer.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily Pacific Northwest politics, urban policy, and the stories the mainstream press buries.#NFRP #Portland #OregonGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

TikTok just axed 75 jobs in Bellevue. Meta is subleasing downtown Bellevue office space. Zillow is cutting 91 Washington workers. Starbucks is migrating functions toward Nashville while activists like Katie Wilson claim a boycott victory. Seattle's tech corridor is shedding jobs at an accelerating pace and nobody in power seems to care.Sean lays out the case that this isn't purely an AI displacement story — it's a Washington state story. A payroll tax. A millionaires tax pushed by Seattle-area activists and council members. A mayor who broadcast a "bye, bye" to high earners and practically celebrated employer flight. A governor and legislature that have made Washington one of the most hostile business climates in the country. Fall is coming, and Sean argues the wave of announcements isn't close to finished.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics, business, and the stories your local news skips.

Tonight I will be speaking to Derek Condit, an author, researcher, psychic intuitive, inventor, U.S. Army veteran, and former Washington State correctional officer. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Derek explores the fascinating intersection of documented history, eyewitness testimony, unexplained phenomena, folklore, and personal experience. His work examines the stories and events that challenge our understanding of the world around us. Derek is the creator of The Triangle Series, a collection of books investigating regions associated with unusual activity including UFO encounters, Bigfoot and cryptid sightings, paranormal experiences, unexplained lights, historic mysteries, and other events that defy easy explanation. His approach is open minded and story-driven. Rather than dismissing experiences simply because they fall outside conventional understanding, Derek allows witnesses to share their stories and examines the possibilities surrounding what they encountered. His interest in the unexplained is also deeply personal. Derek has experienced unexplained phenomena firsthand, including a Bigfoot encounter in Washington State. As Derek explains: "My connection to these subjects is also deeply personal. Both my 87-year-old father, a former NSA agent, and I have had our own Bigfoot encounters. Mine occurred in Washington State, while his took place in Northern California." Derek's 16 years as a Washington State correctional officer also provided him with numerous unusual experiences. Some occurred inside the Washington State Reformatory, while others took place during night-shift assignments outside the prison. These firsthand encounters, combined with years of research, have shaped Derek's unique perspective on the unexplained.

Katie Wilson's Seattle Bounty Hunters Now Chase Felons Cops Won't Touch

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 30, 2026 28:41

A wild incident in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood is the perfect case study in what happens when a city decides not to enforce its own laws. Bounty hunters tracked a convicted felon — carrying seven outstanding warrants — to an RV parked near Sandel Park and opened fire when the suspect fled. The man was connected to drug dealing, weapons violations, and prostitution operating openly around the park. The reaction from Seattle's progressive neighbors? Outrage — aimed squarely at the bounty hunters, not the criminals.This is the direct result of Seattle's leadership failures. Katie Wilson and Mayor Keith Wilson have presided over a lawless corridor where encampment sweeps fail, drug dealers hold ground in public parks, and the city's police force is chronically understaffed despite recruiting bonuses thrown at the problem. When the formal justice system won't do its job, don't be surprised when someone else fills the void — and when they do, you don't get to complain about the methods.Sean breaks down the seven outstanding warrants, the weapons and drug charges, and the detail the mainstream press buried — a 40mm launcher on the scene. He also draws the contrast with states where governors commit to relentless criminal enforcement and see actual results. Seattle made its choices. Greenwood residents are paying the price.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories Pacific Northwest media won't tell you straight.#NFRP #Seattle #GreenwoodGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Lobbing Scorchers, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe react to Adrian Hanauer's open letter to Sounders supporters, breaking down what the majority owner actually said, what he chose to leave out, and whether the messaging matches the moment for a fan base that has watched the season slip away. Lobbing Scorchers digs into whether the Sounders will actually add another reinforcement before the window closes. New signing Dejan Joveljić could give the attack the presence it has been missing, but with midfield questions still unresolved and injury risk piling up across the roster, is one striker really enough to salvage the playoff push? Ari and Noah round out the show with the results of a Lobbing Scorchers supporter poll, getting into who actually filled it out, why supporters still stand behind Brian Schmetzer despite the results, the growing criticism of Sounders spending, and the worsening sentiment across the fan base.Subscribe to the NEW Lobbing Scorchers Blog: www.lobbingscorchers.comFollow Lobbing Scorchers:YouTubeInstagramBlueskyTikTokFacebookAri LiljenwallNoah RiffeSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

In Southern Oregon, the historic Wolf Creek Inn has welcomed travelers, celebrities, and curious guests since the 1800s. Originally built along the Applegate Trail, it became a popular stop for settlers, miners, stagecoach passengers, and later railroad and highway travelers. The inn has hosted famous guests including Jack London, John Wayne, Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Orson Welles, and Sir Anthony Hopkins. Jack London especially loved the inn, spending a summer writing there, and his former room is now preserved in his honor. Today, Wolf Creek Inn is the oldest continuously operating hotel in the Pacific Northwest and a historic Oregon landmark. But Wolf Creek Inn may have more than just famous guests. Visitors and staff have reported footsteps, mysterious voices, flickering lights, apparitions, strange dreams, and objects flying across rooms. Ghostly entities reportedly include a female stagecoach driver, the spirit of Jack London, and even stories of a bizarre vampire-like creature roaming the hotel! Just a few miles away, the Golden State Heritage Site, a former mining town now considered a ghost town, has its own spooky reputation, including shadow figures and the spirit of a preacher.

Starbucks is terminating 224 corporate workers as part of its $2 billion cost-cutting restructuring — and 120 of those pink slips belong to employees who had an out and turned it down flat. The company offered a relocation package to Nashville. They said no. Now they're gone.The reason, spelled out plainly: Tennessee is too conservative. Too Republican. The workers who built their identities around Seattle's progressive bubble decided the optics of moving somewhere that votes red were worse than unemployment. They stayed put in a city hemorrhaging corporate tenants, watched the offer expire, and are now learning what ideological loyalty actually costs in the job market.This is Washington State's anti-business climate rendered in human terms. Howard Schultz said it on his way out the door and got ignored. The workers who most vocally championed the policies driving Starbucks toward Nashville in the first place are now the ones filing for unemployment. Seattle didn't just lose a headquarters. It trained 120 people to choose the bubble over a paycheck — and Starbucks obliged them.CHAPTERS0:00 Starbucks laying off 224 workers,…1:39 Starbucks Cuts 224 Corporate Workers3:28 Seattle's Tech Layoff Wave Continues4:13 Starbucks Made Nashville a Condition5:24 Seattle Bleeds Business Under Democrats6:07 Starbucks Pours $100M into Nashville8:06 Nashville vs Seattle Cost of Living9:35 Why Seattle Housing Won't Get Cheaper11:58 Rent Control and the Housing Shortage13:14 Katie Wilson Falls to 37 Percent14:46 Seattle Voters Give Wilson Failing…16:50 Former Police Chief Slams City Response18:54 Katie Wilson Recall Heads to CourtSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics, urban policy, and the stories the Seattle press buries.#NFRP #Starbucks #SeattleGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

The Seattle Times is in full damage-control mode after spiking a column by veteran sports writer Matt Calkins that questioned trans athletes competing in women's professional basketball — and then watching Calkins resign in protest rather than stay quiet. The WNBA world isn't letting the paper off the hook, calling the move a "horrendous look" that exposed exactly how far Seattle's media establishment will go to protect progressive orthodoxy from its own staff.Calkins had written about Sophie Cunningham — Caitlin Clark's fearless on-court enforcer — and the fairness question her presence puts front and center in women's sports. When Storm co-owner Katie Wilson and the broader Seattle institutional apparatus made the temperature too uncomfortable, the Times killed the column instead of defending its own writer. Calkins decided that was his exit. You don't spike a reporter's work and keep them; you just find out how long they'll tolerate it.This is bigger than one buried sports column. It's a snapshot of how every major institution in Seattle — the franchise, the paper, the arena politics — enforces ideological conformity on its own people until someone finally walks out the door. The fact that the WNBA world itself is calling it a horrendous look tells you how badly the Times miscalculated.CHAPTERS0:00 ‘Horrendous Look' – WNBA World Rips…1:42 Seattle Times Kills Trans Sports Column2:18 Sophie Cunningham's Role as WNBA…3:55 WNBA Forms Committee to Define Woman5:14 Matt Calkins' Suppressed Female…6:01 Sophie Cunningham: Protect Girls in…7:05 Matt Calkins Resigns After Column Is…7:44 Puyallup Female Wrestler Assaulted by…9:09 Sophie Cunningham Supporters Rally at…10:51 Storm Co-Owner Suspended After Arena…12:02 NBA Players Would Dominate the WNBA13:18 How Seattle Times Killed Calkins' Column14:28 Inside the Seattle Times' Progressive…15:58 Calkins' Other Stories Seattle Times…17:09 The WNBA's Trans Athlete Checkmate19:22 Calkins' Farewell Letter to Seattle…Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics and the stories Seattle media would rather not run.#NFRP #SeattleTimes #SophieCunninghamGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Seattle Judge Frees Axe Murder Suspect After Three Competency Failures

A King County judge dismissed murder charges this week against the man accused of killing two homeless men with an axe — not because he's innocent, but because three rounds of court-ordered competency restoration all failed. Under Seattle's system, the accused ships off to Western State Mental Hospital while two victims stay dead and Seattle calls it justice.Sean breaks down the incompetency-vs-insanity distinction that keeps career violent offenders cycling through hospitals instead of prisons, and why the legal system's own logic — however twisted — makes this outcome possible. Probable cause docs, cell phone records, and surveillance footage all pointed at the same man. The charge? Dismissed anyway. Prosecutors say they'll refile if he ever regains competency.This is the same Seattle where a hammer-wielding man rides the bus in broad daylight, where Beacon Hill light rail isn't safe, and where a machete is apparently just something you carry through downtown. Sean's "big suit" story from First Avenue says it all: you don't know anymore whether the guy with the weapon is auditioning for Shakespeare or about to skewer somebody — and Seattle's answer is to look the other way.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily news commentary from the Pacific Northwest.#NFRP #Seattle #SeattleCrimeGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

BAM Podcast — Big Ed with Pro Angler Darrell Ocamica

Bass Angler Magazine Podcast

TRI-CITIES: FROM 66TH TO THE TOP 10 Darrell Ocamica discusses his recent 8th-place finish at Tri-Cities and the adjustments that helped turn his tournament around. After sitting in 66th place, he caught 57 keepers on Day 2 and climbed all the way to 13th before ultimately finishing inside the Top 10. BREAKING DOWN THE COLUMBIA RIVER Despite living near the Columbia River, Ocamica says his tournament schedule and other local fisheries mean he doesn't spend as much time on the river as people might expect. He explains how he targeted current seams where grass met moving water and found productive areas around rock and well-defined grass walls. A jerkbait became an important part of generating keeper bites. NUMBERS VS. QUALITY One of the episode's key tournament lessons centers on the difference between finding fish and finding the right fish. Ocamica discusses how easy it can be to stay with an area producing constant bites. In a tournament, however, catching numbers doesn't necessarily produce the weight required to win. Knowing when to abandon a productive bite and search for bigger bass can be one of the most difficult decisions an angler makes. THE GIANT THAT GOT AWAY Ocamica recounts losing a massive bass he estimated at close to 10 pounds. Landing that fish could have dramatically changed his tournament finish and potentially put him in position to win. It's a reminder of how one bite—and sometimes one missed opportunity—can determine an entire tournament. BOARDMAN PRO-AM PREVIEW Big Ed and Ocamica look ahead to the BAM Pro-Am on the Boardman Pool of the Columbia River. Ocamica believes competitors should have plenty of opportunities to catch fish, making Boardman a strong tournament fishery for both Pros and Co-Anglers. The challenge will be finding the better-than-average bites necessary to separate from the field. Projected competitive weight: 17–20 pounds per day Potential three-day winning weight: 55–60 pounds Weather and changing Columbia River conditions could play a major role, making multiple patterns and backup areas especially important. WHAT COULD WORK AT BOARDMAN Ocamica discusses several techniques anglers could potentially have in play, including: Topwater Jerkbaits Jigs Spoons Crankbaits Rattle traps Finesse presentations Senkos He also talks about how seemingly minor differences—such as the sound produced by different rattle-style baits—can affect smallmouth. WHAT THE SUPER 60 TAUGHT HIM Competing against the BAM Super 60 field exposed Ocamica to different ways of fishing water he already knew. His biggest takeaway: don't develop tunnel vision. Tournament anglers can become committed to techniques and areas that have worked in the past. Watching other accomplished anglers approach familiar fisheries differently reinforced the value of versatility and continued learning. THE MENTAL SIDE OF TOURNAMENT FISHING Ocamica looks back at a difficult tournament experience on Kentucky Lake in 2000 when he went an entire competition day without catching a bass. Those days can be humbling, but they're also part of becoming a better tournament angler. Ocamica discusses the importance of continuing to learn and developing multiple techniques instead of relying exclusively on what an angler already does well. COACHING, COMPETITION AND FISHING Away from tournament fishing, Ocamica is passionate about coaching high school basketball. He and Big Ed discuss the similarities between coaching and competitive fishing. Both require preparation, constant learning, adaptability and the ability to perform when circumstances don't go according to plan. For Ocamica, coaching is also about something bigger than wins and losses: making a lasting impact on his players after their time on the team is over. FAMILY BEHIND THE FISHERMAN Ocamica credits his wife and family with providing the support that makes his tournament career possible. With his 25th wedding anniversary approaching, he discusses how important it is for a competitive angler to have people at home who understand the commitment tournament fishing requires. That perspective also shapes his priorities. Ocamica will miss an upcoming Super 60 event so he can be there for his son's senior-night football game. THE ROAD TO THE BAM CLASSIC The conversation turns toward the BAM Classic at Don Pedro. Ocamica is currently sitting 8th in AOY during the discussion and appears positioned to qualify. Big Ed and Ocamica discuss how Don Pedro could produce an exciting championship, with topwater, jigs, spoons, crankbaits and other techniques potentially contributing to the winning pattern. BUILDING WESTERN PROFESSIONAL BASS FISHING Big Ed challenges more Pacific Northwest anglers to compete in BAM Pro-Am events and earn their opportunity to advance into the Super 60. The discussion highlights the amount of fishing talent throughout the West and the difference in angler recognition between Western and Eastern professional bass fishing. Ocamica points out that building recognizable anglers, tournament careers and a larger Western fan base doesn't happen overnight. It's a long-term process that requires anglers, tournaments and media exposure to grow together.

The Adult Improver Series returns to welcome back an accomplished guest. Kyle Boddy is the founder of Driveline Baseball, an influential company that provides training and performance guidance for professional and aspiring baseball players. Despite the demands of running a company and raising a family, Kyle values chess as a hobby and makes plenty of time for it. When I first interviewed Kyle in 2022, he was rated below 1000 USCF, but was working diligently and had a long-term hope of reaching USCF 2000. Four years later, he has stuck with it and made considerable progress, recently reaching a new peak of nearly 1550 USCF. In this follow-up, we discuss: Why he still loves openings, and how studying them deeply has given him a competitive advantage against many higher-rated opponents. How he combines old-school, analog training methods with sophisticated uses of AI and chess technology. The parallels he sees between improving at physical pursuits like baseball and improving at chess. The immense value he gains from being part of a vibrant chess community in the Pacific Northwest. It is inspiring to see Kyle's continued dedication to chess, and I look forward to following his continued progress in the coming years. 0:00- Intro Join the Perpetual Chess Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/c/perpetualchess Join the free discord: https://discord.gg/hN3CJsbGn More on the Adult Improver Series: Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/75Uoqz2BoRt2IiTCeOfuky?si=8fda103624514126 Website: https://www.perpetualchesspod.com/adultimprover Check out our sponsor, Claude Co-work at Claude.ai/chess 04:22 Kyle Boddy joins 06:05 What keeps Kyle playing and improving? 07:36 Switching to 1.e4 and open games Mentioned: Anand-Nunn 1990 https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1018185 08:43 Why Kyle still loves studying openings 10:45 How Kyle actually studies openings 12:12 Studying games blindfolded 16:00 How Kyle uses AI for chess 18:19 Engines, Maia Chess and practical preparation 20:34 Kyle's tournament routine 24:19 How he trains tactics 26:48 Building a new opening repertoire 29:42 Daily chess habits 30:49 The importance of a chess community 34:17 Tournament chess in Seattle and beyond 35:20 Aging and adult chess improvement 37:45 Kyle's path toward 1800-2000 40:11 Improving at endgames 42:50 Understanding vs. memorizing openings 44:35 The Joey Votto chess bet 45:33 Chess's popularity among pro athletes 47:05 How much Kyle studies chess Can Adults Improve at Chess by NM Todd Bryant https://www.chess.com/article/view/can-adults-improve-at-chess 50:22 Blogging, AI and hiding your prep 52:53 Baseball vs. chess improvement 55:46 Will Kyle still be playing at 50? 56:00- Thanks to Kyle for joining and sharing his inspiring progress- follow his blog here: https://www.kyleboddy.com/blog/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Originally released as Episode 547 of Bigfoot Society on 10/4/24.A quiet drive through Oregon farmland turns into a moment that stays with a witness for years.In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Jeremiah Byron talks with Colleen, an Oregon outdoorswoman who spent her life hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping across the Pacific Northwest. During the fall of 2020 on Sauvie Island, she and her partner encountered a large black, humanlike figure crossing a remote access road in broad daylight. The figure looked directly at them, continued calmly across the road, then appeared to stop and watch them before disappearing into dense blackberry hedges.As the years passed, Colleen began connecting that unforgettable encounter with other unexplained experiences from across Oregon. She shares reports of mysterious tree knocks while hiking near Scappoose, unsettling nighttime footsteps outside her home on Sauvie Island, possible vocal exchanges she once believed were owls, and recent activity near her current rural property bordering miles of forest. She also reflects on childhood camping trips near Mount Hood and how those memories have taken on new meaning.This conversation explores what happens after a life-changing encounter, how personal perspectives evolve over time, and why protecting the wild places of the Pacific Northwest has become even more important to her.

Newsom Bans 70% Of Tires In California Prices Could Spike To $157 Each

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 24, 2026 24:25

California's Energy Commission just voted to ban 70% of consumer tires from sale by 2033 under new rolling resistance efficiency standards — and Gavin Newsom is calling it a win for drivers. The claim: new rules will save a billion dollars in fuel and put money back in your pocket. The reality: tire shops would be restricted to a narrow band of mandated products, and the industry warns prices per tire could jump to $157.The numbers collapse the moment anyone does the division. State Senator Nancy Skinner couldn't explain how banning the vast majority of available tires benefits consumers, and the Energy Commission's response — "we're committed to doing this right" — is exactly the kind of non-answer regulators reach for when they can't defend their math. The cost lands hardest on working-class drivers buying affordable mid-range tires who have no margin to absorb a sudden price shock on something as basic as keeping their vehicle road-legal.Sean breaks down the rolling resistance standards, the real safety tradeoffs that come with artificially narrowed tire choice, and why Washington's Climate Commitment Act is a preview of where this policy heads next for the Pacific Northwest. The blue-state playbook is consistent: mandate the expensive option, call the premium a "savings," and hope nobody checks. Some states will follow California. Others won't. The gap in your cost of living will be obvious.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics and the national stories your local news won't touch.#NFRP #Newsom #CaliforniaGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS
