Cris Bazan grew up in Texas, started gang banging as a young teenager, and eventually started his own street gang with his brother before a nine year sentence in the Texas state prison system at 17 years old pulled him into the Texas Syndicate — setting off 20 years of life inside some of the most violent correctional facilities in the country. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he describes what the Texas prison system looked like in the early 2000s, what starting wars with gangs like Tango Blast actually involved, what getting confirmed and validated as a Texas Syndicate member meant and what getting sent to the SHU after validation really looked like, and how violent the state system was during that era. He also opens up about catching a federal sentence after his release, spending five years in the toughest federal penitentiaries in the United States, and what the difference between state and federal prison as a Texas Syndicate member really revealed about which world was more dangerous. _____________________________________________ #texas #truecrimecommunity #prison _____________________________________________ Connect with Cris Bazan: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@crisbazan956?si=TdKdn0F5XQio-fLu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1MDHYTuCuD/?mibextid=wwXIfr TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@crisbazan956?_r=1&_t=ZP-97vDdgMbs4N Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crisbazan956?igsh=MXByeG4xeHppa2l0eA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introducing Cris Bazan's Story 01:00 Upbringing, Family, and Early Gangs 05:00 Creating N2P and First Gang Experiences 10:00 Entering Prison and Joining Texas Syndicate 16:00 Prison Politics and Survival Tactics 21:00 Gang Wars, Rivalries, and Institutional Life 27:00 Solitary Confinement and Its Impact 36:00 Transition to Federal Prison Life 41:00 Life and Politics in Federal Prison 46:00 Transfers, Riots, and Prison Hierarchies 52:00 Life After Release & Reintegration Challenges 01:01:00 Family, Regret, and Hopes for the Future 01:09:00 Plans, Reflection, and Final Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka
Sometimes it only takes one text message to change an entire evening. Plans get cancelled. The calendar shifts. And somehow, the empty chair across the table begins telling a story about your worth that was never true to begin with. This week, we explore the quiet difference between being alone... and believing you've been left behind. Listen in as we Calm it Down in 3...2...1.
Everything is getting worse, but the country hasn’t collapsed. This is all by design. Donald Trump is a useful idiot for the people behind the scenes and Project 2025, most notably Russell Vought. The Trump administration is using the nation’s finances like a personal piggy bank for themselves and large corporations while gutting agencies that provide critical services. The misconception is that Trump is driving things into the ground. He’s not. He’s just making things so shitty that the corporate state looks good in comparison.

#1001 What happens when a 25-year hospitality veteran gets furloughed during COVID and finally goes all-in on the dream he's been talking about for years? You get Catalyst Hot Dogs — a Jersey-style hot dog joint taking the DMV by storm! In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with founder Chris Van Jura, who shares how he launched during the pandemic with a GoFundMe, a beat-up cart discovered in a church parking lot, and an all-beef hot dog so good, it became the heart of his brand. Chris breaks down how he scaled from one cart outside a Home Depot to multiple trailers, a staff, university partnerships, and a soon-to-open brick-and-mortar location. From sourcing premium franks to mastering social media marketing (and settling whether a hot dog is a sandwich), this is the real, gritty journey of turning a simple idea into a thriving business — one dog at a time! (Original Air Date - 11/17/25) What we discuss with Chris: + Launching Catalyst during COVID + Finding the first hot dog cart + Using GoFundMe to raise capital + Choosing high-quality, all-beef dogs + Scaling from one cart to multiple trailers + University of Maryland partnership + Social media as the main marketing engine + The “hot dog is a sandwich” debate + Plans for a brick-and-mortar location + Advice for aspiring food cart entrepreneurs Thank you, Chris!

The portal is closer than ever.After a restless night filled with questions, Annabel, Quinn, Miller, and Thelandor continue their search for answers before stepping into the unknown. With Bram's terrifying transformation still fresh in their minds and the mystery of Neithera hanging over them, every rumor suddenly feels important.
1 Wine is a mocker and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise. 2 The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life. 3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling. 4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing. 5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out. 6 Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man? 7 A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him. 8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes. 9 Who can say, “I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?” 10 Differing weights and differing measures, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh. 11 Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right. 12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them. 13 Don't love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread. 14 “It's no good, it's no good,” says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts. 15 There is gold and abundance of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel. 16 Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman. 17 Fraudulent food is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel. 18 Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war! 19 He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don't keep company with him who opens wide his lips. 20 Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness. 21 An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning won't be blessed in the end. 22 Don't say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you. 23 Yahweh detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing. 24 A man's steps are from Yahweh; how then can man understand his way? 25 It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows. 26 A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them. 27 The spirit of man is Yahweh's lamp, searching all his innermost parts. 28 Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love. 29 The glory of young men is their strength. The splendor of old men is their gray hair. 30 Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.

The reservoir falls forty feet and a drowned town rises out of the mud — stone walls, a half-melted steeple, and a graveyard breaking the surface in neat pale rows. At the waterline Nora meets Edith, an old woman who has been watching for this since the water started to drop, because it happened to her once too: 1976, the summer it didn't rain, the summer her own drowned boy came home. Edith knows what's in Nora's house, what it wants, and how it feeds — on the keeping of it, hollowing out everyone real until there's no one left. And she knows the one way to send it back. The only trouble is that nobody ever can. Part 3 of a four-part story. It's Grace or the boy. She already chose — at the door, the first night.⚠️ Content warning: this story contains themes of child loss, drowning, and grief.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: a new study suggests Earth might avoid being swallowed when the sun becomes a red giant because mass loss could weaken solar gravity and tidal effects may be weaker than once believed, potentially letting Earth drift outward (though Mercury and Venus would not). In Portland, Sunshine Division opened a free food market in Slabtown that lets families choose items like a grocery store and aims to serve up to 100,000 households, with about 80% of food donated. In Michigan, Titan Plumbing found an engagement ring in a sewer line and reunited it with Carol, lost for about 10 years, with paperwork dating to 1965; it was cleaned and revealed to be white gold. In Texas, an overturned truck released two million bees, and beekeepers helped recover and transport them to a honey farm.

When Life Gives You Lemons, Jesus Makes Lemonade Sometimes God uses the most ordinary moments to teach us the deepest lessons. For me, it happened while driving in the car with my granddaughter, Penny, singing and dancing to Lemonade by Forrest Frank. Watching her simply enjoy the ride made me wonder: When did we stop living in the present and start trying so hard to control the destination? Life doesn't always unfold the way we imagined. Plans change. People disappoint us. Prayers aren't always answered the way we hoped. And suddenly, we find ourselves living in the middle—between what was and what comes next. But what if God isn't waiting for us at the end of the story? What if Jesus is already here, meeting us in the middle? In this episode, I share what a simple song about lemonade, climbing Cross Mountain in Medjugorje, and my own journey through heartbreak and divorce have taught me about suffering, healing, and transformation. God doesn't always remove the lemons from our lives. Instead, He enters into the sour and painful places and pours His grace into them. Jesus, the Living Water, can transform what we place in His hands into something we never expected. The difficult chapters don't disappear. But they can become part of something new. In this episode, I talk about trusting God in the middle of the story, finding Jesus in our crosses, allowing suffering to change our perspective, and believing that God is still writing even when life looks nothing like we planned. If you're holding some lemons today, remember this: Don't confuse the middle with the ending. The Author is still writing. And our God doesn't waste anything placed in His hands not one tear, one prayer, one disappointment, or one season of waiting. When life gives you lemons, remember: our Jesus makes the sweetest lemonade. Jennie Guinn is a Catholic life coach and founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle. She accompanies midlife women through divorce, grief, and major life transitions, helping them encounter God's healing and rediscover their purpose.

A new veterinary hospital is coming to one of OSU's most visible agricultural sites, but the crop research Oklahoma producers rely on is not going away. OSU Department of Plant and Soil Sciences head Wade Thomason, Ph.D., joins Dave Deken, Brian Arnall, Ph.D., and Josh Lofton, Ph.D. to explain what is changing at the Agronomy Research Station, which long-term plots will be protected, and why good soil, irrigation, and proximity to campus cannot simply be replaced. They also walk through plans for new greenhouses, field laboratories, teaching space, soil and forage testing, plant disease diagnostics, and a possible summer 2028 move. Key takeaways: The historic Magruder Plots and other long-term fertility trials are not planned for development. The veterinary hospital is expected to use the area where the current agronomy buildings stand. Approximately 20 to 50 acres of other research ground may need to be replaced nearby. New facilities could bring wheat breeding, crop quality testing, field research and diagnostic services into a more efficient system. The modernization is designed to improve research, hands-on student education and service to Oklahoma producers. Detailed timestamped rundown 00:00–01:54 — Episode setup and field event invitation Dave introduces the debate over the Agronomy Research Station, the veterinary hospital project and the future of research and teaching at the site. He also previews the July 27 Summer Crop Demo Day near Chickasha.01:54–02:32 — Participant introductions Brian Arnall and Josh Lofton are introduced before the recorded conversation with Wade Thomason begins.02:32–04:18 — What is happening to the agronomy farm? The group addresses months of concern and confirms that the veterinary hospital is expected to occupy the footprint where the existing agronomy buildings stand.04:18–05:59 — Are the Magruder Plots safe? The long-term fertility trials are identified as irreplaceable scientific resources. The discussion makes clear that the Magruder Plots and other longstanding trials have not been offered for development.05:59–08:29 — Why agronomy cannot simply move anywhere Thomason explains the requirements for productive research ground: proximity to campus, student access, suitable soil, little slope, a location outside the floodplain and dependable irrigation supplied through the OSU water system.08:29–10:12 — Why the plots must remain near campus The station supports hands-on classes, weed identification, breeding programs, frequent crop observations and technologies such as drone imagery. Moving those activities farther away would reduce efficiency and student access.10:12–12:29 — The original farm layout had a purpose The group explains how soils, slope, wind direction, water and animal needs shaped the placement of agricultural programs. The land was not assigned randomly.12:29–14:45 — Prime real estate and agricultural history Dave describes the corner as emotionally significant to people connected with OSU agriculture. The group acknowledges that reaction while explaining the university's effort to create room for both agronomy and veterinary medicine.14:45–17:03 — The rebuild is three connected projects Plans include a greenhouse and headhouse complex, new agronomy research operations and an education and laboratory center. Wheat breeding, wheat pathology, Extension, turfgrass and ornamental horticulture are among the programs discussed.17:03–19:13 — New homes for producer services The proposed education center could include classrooms, conference space, the Soil, Water and Forage Analytical Laboratory and the Plant Disease and Insect Diagnostic Laboratory. Both laboratories currently face significant space and access limitations.19:13–22:14 — Proposed locations and the 2028 target The conversation covers possible locations on the existing sheep and goat property, the likely order of construction and the need to move agronomy operations before the existing buildings can be removed. The target is summer 2028.22:14–23:43 — Learning from other land-grant universities The planning team studied facilities at Kansas State, Purdue, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Georgia and Tennessee to identify useful designs and avoid problems those institutions encountered.23:43–27:22 — Designing around the work, not old walls The proposed greenhouses may have less total square footage but greater usable capacity through rolling benches, better lighting and ventilation. Other improvements include a pull-through seed warehouse, integrated wheat quality space, improved cotton processing, chemical storage and shared drying and grinding areas.27:22–31:27 — Shared space, compromises and adaptation The faculty discuss the benefits and frustrations of shared work areas. Some programs may gain more than others, but the experience of OSU's newer Agricultural Hall suggests shared facilities can improve communication and the student experience.31:27–34:34 — Balancing program needs and limited space The conversation continues into how researchers will adjust their workflows, which needs must be prioritized and how the new construction will affect existing research acreage.34:34–35:57 — How much land could be displaced? The working estimate is approximately 20 to 50 acres. Options include nearby purchases, existing OSU land and other research sites; the department does not expect to replace the entire 185-acre main station.35:57–37:09 — Other research locations and sheep facilities Land near Perkins and a university property east of Billings could provide additional research opportunities. The project may also accelerate plans for a new sheep and goat facility.37:09–39:09 — State funding and possible federal support The episode describes a $40 million legislative allocation tied to a $10 million OSU match. The team also plans to pursue a federal research-facilities grant of up to $30 million, which could bring the potential project budget near $80 million. The federal award was not guaranteed at the time of recording.39:09–41:42 — Private support and practical details Previously pledged greenhouse support is discussed as part of OSU's match, followed by lighter conversation about equipment, refrigerators and the research team's preferred ice machine.41:42–43:36 — A working name and final thoughts The group closes with the working name “Agronomy Research Discovery Center,” thanks Wade for the update and directs listeners to Red Dirt Agronomy for future information.

Dr. Alan Castel, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and one of the world's foremost experts on human memory and cognitive aging. We discuss what science actually tells us about how to improve our learning ability and memory at any age. We also discuss how memory works, why all planning and imagination about the future is based on the past, false memories, and how to leverage curiosity, emotion, and self-testing retrieval practice to stamp in memories for the long term. We discuss what "superagers"—people who actually improve their cognitive capacity with age—do differently than everyone else. This episode is for anyone interested in the science of memory and tools to maintain and improve your memory across the lifespan.

Steve Beres and Ike Goss open with Steve's trip to Eugene/Springfield and an update on his rough-but-charming 1998 Defender high-capacity pickup, which needs multiple repairs but may become a support vehicle rather than a full restoration. In the news, they react to Range Rover's “British Summertime Collection” of lifestyle goods like blankets, purses, tea sets, and parasols featuring the new stacked-R logo, joking that the brand has become a purse company. They also discuss JLR's color-shifting “Spectral Green” Works V8 Defenders with white interiors and roll cages, compare the look to the Joker, and mention recent Wall Street Journal coverage of vintage Defender demand. The episode closes with spy-shot talk of a new Velar that looks more sedan-like and plans to attend the Ouray, Colorado national rally (July 26–30), including a possible live show.00:00 Welcome and Introductions01:21 Steve Arrives in Oregon02:26 Croatian Farm Truck Check04:05 Plans for the High Cap04:58 Range Rover Summer Merch08:56 Color Shifting Works V812:43 Wall Street Journal Hype16:22 JLR Trends and EV Pivots19:15 New Velar Spy Shots24:45 MaxTrax Wellness and Rally26:30 Ouray Event Wrap Up

By morning the boy is still cold — cold in the white July heat, cold to the touch at the breakfast table — and Nora makes her choice: she smiles, feeds him, and starts building the house of lies she's going to live in. Paul wants to call someone. Grace takes one look and says the thing no one else will. The dog won't come inside. And night after night the boy gets a little more solid, a little more right, learning the exact shape of the family he's wearing — while out in the valley, the reservoir keeps falling, and something dark begins to break the surface. Part 2 of a four-part story. It knew the worst thing she'd ever done. And it forgave her.⚠️ Content warning: this story contains themes of child loss, drowning, and grief.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: Swedish researchers analyzing nearly 89,000 mammograms from over 31,000 patients found that three commercial AI mammography systems could spot subtle breast-cancer warning signs and elevated risk scores up to six years before diagnosis, while cancer-free patients generally scored low. In Germany, archaeologists uncovered an exceptionally rare Celtic princely tomb during solar project preparations, with heavy gold jewelry, weapons, amber/bronze/glass beads, and iron fittings from a ceremonial wagon, lifting a large block of earth to preserve artifacts. A psychiatric hospital near Paris reports positive results from therapy sessions with trained donkeys, expanded to other animals. A Japanese 7-Eleven owner posted viral signs inviting people to cool off or warm up without buying anything.

Industrial Talk is onsite at Xcelerate 2026 and talking to Nisarg Shah, Maintenance/Planner Engineer at Martinrea International about "eMaint platform deployment". Overview Nisarg Shah, a maintenance planner at Martinrea, discussed his experiences with Fluke's eMaint software at the Xcelerate 2026 event. Initially, the challenge was getting employees to use tablets for data entry. Nisarg overcame this by daily encouragement and teaching. The next challenge was integrating eMaint with the existing email system to automate data collection. They now focus on pulling data directly from PLCs, including temperature readings and cycle counts. Nisarg highlighted the benefits of meter-based PM, which significantly reduced breakdowns. He also mentioned using acoustic imaging for leak detection, saving money on maintenance. Outline Fluke's Xcelerate Event Overview Scott introduces the Industrial Talk podcast, sponsored by Fluke, highlighting the Xcelerate event in Austin, Texas.The event featured high-energy keynotes, hands-on predictive maintenance tools, and breakthrough AI diagnostics.Xcelerate proved to be a launch pad for smarter, faster, and more reliable operations.Listeners are encouraged to visit fluke.com for more information.

Challenges and Implementation of eMaint Nisarg faced challenges in getting employees to use tablets for data entry, as they were not tech-savvy.The initial challenge was convincing employees to enter data accurately, which was previously done via email.Nisarg addressed the issue by continuously teaching and pushing employees to enter data correctly.The company needed a better way to manage assets and prevent breakdowns, leading to the implementation of eMaint. Integration and Data Collection Nisarg discusses the next challenge of integrating eMaint with the existing email system to collect better data.The goal is to get direct data from the PLCs instead of manual data entry.The company is currently working on integrating temperature readings, cycle counts, and PM calendars.Plans include installing vibration sensors and thermocouples on a new 3000-ton press to collect more comprehensive data. Impact of AI and Advanced Technologies Nisarg is impressed by the AI version of eMaint , which can build on existing data to provide more accurate predictions.AI can help in quickly accessing manuals and specific pages, reducing the need to scour through lengthy documents.The company is also using acoustic imaging to detect leaks, saving money on maintenance.Nisarg highlights the benefits of using AI and advanced technologies to improve operational efficiency and reduce downtime.

This week, Brad and Dave discuss one of the easiest traps for independent creators to fall into: Outsourcing important business or creative decisions to reader polls. Audience feedback can be useful, but when creators ask readers to steer decisions about Patreon tiers, Kickstarter rewards, publishing strategy, or creative direction, they often get noisy, contradictory advice that can lead them away from their own best judgment. Topics covered in this episode include: Why readers are experts in consumption, not creation The danger of asking your audience to make business decisions for you Brad's cautionary tale from his early days as a newspaper designer Why negative comments carry more psychological weight than positive ones The difference between listening to readers and asking readers to decide Why feedback should be treated as a compass, not a steering wheel How polling readers can create factions and resentment among backers Why creators should rely first on their own instincts, goals, and judgment The value of seeking advice from trusted peers and experienced professionals Why no single expert — including ComicLab — should be treated as the only authority Dave's hierarchy of advice: Heart and mind first, peers and pros second, passive reader feedback third Erika Moen's thoughtful counterpoint about social-media assistants How a social-media assistant can protect creators from harassment, criticism, and burnout The difference between a social-media assistant as a partner versus a replacement Plans and possibilities for future live ComicLab events Dave's San Diego Comic-Con appearance at Booth 1228, including free ComicLab pins for listeners A listener question about “boomer humor” and whether it should be taken as an insult The difference between old-fashioned joke structure and out-of-touch subject matter Why traditional setup-and-punchline comedy still works How Reddit comments often reflect meme culture more than thoughtful criticism When repeated criticism might be worth filtering for a useful grain of truth Why creators should protect their confidence while staying open to thoughtful feedback You get great rewards when you join the ComicLab Community on Patreon$2 — Early access to episodes$5 — Submit a question for possible use on the show AND get the exclusive ProTips podcast.
