Frank and Shirley break down Survivor 49, episode 11, “Cherry on Top,” where the game finally forces everyone to admit who can actually win at the end. They dig into Steven's brutal but brilliant journey, why the new spinning disc challenge felt too forgiving, and how the main alliance continues to keep control while everyone else gets stuck in emotional revenge mode instead of strategic play.00:00 – 03:30 | First Impressions And That “Too Easy” Challenge03:30 – 08:45 | Julian's Exit, Christina's Idol Regret, And Sage vs SophieThe tribe returns stunned after Julian's blindside. Christina wrestles with wasting her idol, Sophie tries to repair things with Christina, Steven, and Sage, and the hosts unpack why Sage's anger is aimed squarely at Sophie instead of Savannah.08:45 – 16:30 | Steven's Journey And A Smartly Upgraded AdvantageSteven takes on one of the most physically demanding journeys of the season, scrambling around the island before the tide cuts him off. Frank and Shirley break down the block a vote advantage, why telling a partial truth about it may have been genius, and how the chickens on the loose moment shows Jeff and production having more fun with the game.16:30 – 23:30 | Spaghetti Feast, Rizzo's Pitch, And The Real Power StructureSteven wins reward, chooses Christina and a starving Rizzo for pasta night, and the three talk strategy. Rizzo frames Sophie as the biggest threat, but Christina quietly prefers taking out Savannah while she is finally vulnerable. The hosts lay out why the “power three” of Savannah, Rizzo, and Sophie are still miles ahead of everyone else in terms of résumé.23:30 – 28:30 | Emotions vs Strategy And The Road To TribalBack at camp, the minority players talk about targeting Steven, Savannah, or Sophie, but personal feelings start to override logic. Frank and Shirley compare Sage's revenge driven focus on Sophie to earlier emotional decisions, argue that no one can currently beat Savannah or Rizzo at final tribal, and sketch the path the outliers should be taking if they want a shot.28:30 – 34:30 | Tribal Council Theater, A Clean Sophie Vote, And An Idol Still In A PocketAt tribal, Sage is still raw over Jason's exit, Sophie gives a cold but accurate “this is for a million dollars” answer, and Jeff pushes everyone on challenge threats, revenge votes, and jury perception. The votes land fully on Sophie while Rizzo once again keeps his idol in his pocket, which drives Frank and Shirley up the wall as they explain how easily the group could have flushed it.34:30 – 37:00 | Savannah's TikTok Reveal, Season 50 Talk, And Final ThoughtsFrank plays Savannah's TikTok where she reveals that her “strong dislike” moment with Christina at tribal was a planned performance to lull Sophie into a false sense of security. The hosts close with Facebook fan reactions, On Fire insights about returning players and Ponderosa rules, a little hype for Survivor 50, and a reminder to drop those five star reviews.“This challenge felt a little too easy. With the old wobbly table, you always had that chaos at the end.”“That journey might have been the best one they have done. There was real cost, not just a lost vote but being absolutely wiped out for the challenge.”“Sage is playing from a place of hurt, not strategy, and that is exactly what Savannah and Rizzo want.”“You cannot sit next to Savannah or Rizzo at the end and expect to win on gameplay alone.”“How is Rizzo's idol still in his pocket? At this point it is almost a running joke.”If you enjoyed this breakdown of Survivor 49's “Cherry on Top,” make sure you follow the show, leave a five star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and share the episode with a fellow Survivor fan.

The finish line is in sight, but the road to get there will be strenuous.  Jeff, Jeremy, and Jay dive into the big moments from Survivor 49, Episode 11, as the castaways reach the treacherous Final Seven threshold. They begin with the choice between revenge and strategy, analyzing how an emotional quest for retribution after a vote-out could be transformed into a crucial resume item for the jury. Next, the guys go behind the scenes of the all-new "Strenuous Journey." Jeff reveals the deliberate choice to use the word "strenuous" in the note and the complex logistics of timing the challenge to the unpredictable ocean tides. They discuss Steven's harrowing run and how Team FLINT described this when testing it with the Dream Team.  Later, they break down the reward challenge and Jeremy details how best to handle the final few rewards, especially when it comes to doling out who gets to come. They also discuss remixing challenges and Jeff reveals if there are any Survivor challenges that are truly off limits when it comes to adaptation.  Plus, your fan questions, including the rules for returning players at Ponderosa for Survivor 50.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comOne thing I think you come to appreciate after some months or years of field recording, or intentional listening, is the variability of sound that conifers make when played by the wind.Where I live, I'm surrounded by conifers. Douglas-firs abound. They produce a sharp sound in the wind, occasionally what you might call a hiss. Just an hour to the east, beyond the crest of the Cascade Range, a more arid landscape plays host to ponderosa pine trees. The wind on their long, bundled needles is quite different. Because their needles are flexible and bundled together, they sway and brush against each other in waves, producing a softer sound. More of a shush. Words fail me here. You just have to listen.This recording captures the song of the pines as a backdrop for the birds that make this habitat their home.We hear Western Wood Pewee, Pine Siskin, American Goldfinch, Hairy Woodpecker, White-crowned sparrow, American Robin, Red-breasted Nuthatch, and California Quail—to name names—on a mild June evening near Glenwood, Washington. But what is it about ponderosa pine trees that they produce such a sonorous sound? According to field recordist Gordon Hempton, the pitch is a function of the length of the needle or blade of grass. “We can go back to the writings of John Muir, which — he turned me on to the fact that the tone, the pitch, of the wind is a function of the length of the needle or the blade of grass. So the shorter the needle on the pine, the higher the pitch; the longer, the lower the pitch.”-Gordon Hempton, recordistWhile that sounds plausible and is certainly memorable, it's not the whole story. It's not just about length; stiffness, density, bundling, and flexibility all matter too. All the complexity of the canopy structure goes into the sound. The turbulence of the wind moving between needles, branches and trunks, and the brushing of the needles against each other all plays a role. Take a guitar string; the string is fixed at both ends and vibrates at specific frequencies determined by its length, tension, and mass. Needles are only fixed at one end, so they're more like tines than strings. The frequency of a guitar string follows clear mathematical relationships: a string twice as long vibrates at half the frequency (one octave lower), assuming same tension and thickness. The sound of pine needles comes primarily from aerodynamics: wind flowing around needles creates fluctuations in the air. Needles twice as long do not whisper an octave lower; rather, they produce a lower range of pitches due to the lower frequency of movements and resulting turbulence they create. A string can produce a clear frequency. A needle produces a spectrum of frequencies; a texture. What can be said about all the variety of needles, leaves, and blades of grass and the sounds they make in the wind? Has someone attempted to map them? If there is such an inventory, I did not find it, but I did find the following observations made nearly seven centuries ago in an interesting piece of nature writing. It's observational, philosophical, and poetic all at once: Wind cannot create sound on its own: it sounds only in connection with things. It is unlike the ferocious clamor of thunder, which rumbles through the void. Since wind sounds only in connection with things, its sound depends on the thing: loud or soft, clear or vague, delightful or frightening—all are produced depending on the form of the thing. Though it may come into contact with earthen or rock pedestals in the shape of tortoises, sounds are not produced. If a valley is empty and immense, its sound is vigorous and fierce; when water gently flows, its sound is still turbulent and agitated—neither achieves a harmonious balance, and both cause man to feel fearful and frightened. Therefore, only plants and trees can produce suitable sounds.Among plants and trees, those with large leaves have a muffled sound; those with dry leaves have a sorrowful sound; those with frail leaves have a weak and unmelodic sound. For this reason, nothing is better suited to wind than the pine.Now, the pine as a species has a stiff trunk and curled branches, its leaves are thin, and its twigs are long. It is gnarled yet noble, unconstrained and overspreading, entangled and intricate. So when wind passes through it, it is neither obstructed nor agitated. Wind flows through smoothly with a natural sound. Listening to it can relieve anxiety and humiliation, wash away confusion and impurity, expand the spirit and lighten the heart, make one feel peaceful and contemplative, cause one to wander free and easy through the skies and travel along with the force of Creation. It is well suited to gentlemen who seek pleasure in mountains and forests, delighting in them and unable to abandon them.-Liu Chi, (1311–1375)Thanks for listening and reading.

It also gave quieter players room to change gears.The edit is spotlighting a few likely Season 50 figures, which compresses screen time for subtle operators.Idol intel is currency. Pinning the leak on Shannon keeps suspicion off Sage and keeps options open.Mick is a gamer. The head-to-head key lunge with Savannah and reclaiming her vote were pivotal for the merge math.Rizzo showing the idol without playing it protected Savannah enough for the plan to hold.Nate on the jury is big for Rizzo and Savannah. He clocked who flipped in seconds, which will shape Ponderosa talk.“You can't hide behind good players anymore.”“She's incredibly forgettable. It's not her fault. The editors did her wrong.”“Target the leader. Savannah runs the show.”“That's how you do it on Survivor.”“If you're getting to the end now, it won't be because you got carried.”Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcastWhat do you think was the smartest move after the merge feast: flashing an idol, hunting one, or locking votes early?

Today I feature the mighty Ponderosa Pine. I was marveling at these trees on a recent trip out west and knew I had to feature the species. A mainstay of the construction lumber industry often labelled as PP/LP on lumber racks. But also a species with a different life in the form of clear boards in moulding, interior flooring, paneling, etc. The species is fire propagating and is a perfect example of how healthy forest management needs a little fire from time to time. The Beetle Kill Pine is the result of weak forests without natures cleaning mechanism. Ponderosa is a yellow pine but a pale version of yellow pine both in appearance but in workability with softer and less difference between early and late growth. It makes for a more uniform working experience with planing, sawing or cutting joinery. Also in this episode I answer questions about: - Kiln Drying schedules to reduce trial and error when drying lumber - How pulp wood forests no longer destined to a paper mill could be turned into saw timber forests. - Typical construction lumber species in the 1920s in the NE United States

The Catwalk National Recreational Trail suspends visitors along sheer canyon walls, following a path first blazed by silver miners in the 1890s.My journey begins at the trailhead where interpretive signs reveal the area's rich mining heritage. When silver and gold were discovered in Whitewater Canyon in 1889, ambitious prospectors built a wooden pipeline traversing three miles of treacherous terrain. Workers maintained this structure by balancing on narrow wooden planks that earned the nickname "catwalk" due to the cat-like agility required to navigate them. Though mining operations ceased by 1913, this remarkable pathway found new life decades later.Walking the modern metal walkway, I'm struck by the dramatic juxtaposition of human engineering against raw nature. The first half-mile offers accessible, paved paths 40 feet above Whitewater Creek. Evidence of nature's power is everywhere—reinforced rock walls, mesh barriers, and countless stabilizing bolts testify to the 15 major floods that have reshaped this canyon over four decades. The 2012 flood destroyed the previous infrastructure, making today's trail a modern rebuild that honors its historic predecessor.The canyon's volcanic geology tells an even older story. I examine fascinating formations, including pumice, lithics, and "stone bubbles"—gas pockets trapped in rock and lined with tiny crystals. The diverse ecosystem supports Ponderosa pines, Douglas firs, sycamores, and desert plants, creating a biological transition zone unique to this riparian corridor.For those seeking adventure beyond the main attraction, the trail connects to the more challenging Whitewater Trail #207, leading deeper into the wilderness. This entire area once served as a sanctuary for Native Americans, including Geronimo, adding another layer to its remarkable story.Whether you're fascinated by mining history, engineering achievements, geological wonders, or simply seeking stunning canyon views, the Catwalk Trail delivers an unforgettable experience that bridges New Mexico's rugged past with its preserved natural beauty. Bring proper footwear, water, and your sense of wonder—this hidden gem awaits your discovery.Support the show

The question I get asked every time I talk to someone in the racing community is, "what's going on with Ponderosa Speedway?" Here's my best attempt to answer that question.

Jon breaks down early voting, Kamala visits the Ponderosa and opens her own word salad bar plus we play your eclectic talkbacks all morning long.

Ray Mesa, near the La Sal mountains on the Colorado-Utah border is notable for its old-growth Ponderosa pines (estimated to be several hundred years old) that are growing in cool drainages amongst pinyon-juniper woodlands. Recent Ponderosa tree mortality raised concerns among land managers and Larissa Yocom, a fire ecologist at Utah State University, began exploring the potential causes of these deaths. These include drought, insect attacks, and increased competition due to fire suppression over the last 140 years. This research underscores the challenges of ecosystem management, particularly under changing climates, and highlights the unique importance of these rare old Ponderosa stands.

Mitch Jurisich owner of Delta Marina and Plaquemines Parish Councilmember, drops by to discuss how this cooler weather from Hurricane Helene has given way to decent fishing across Louisiana, how the low river is bringing in some fantastic catches, fishing in the river has been fantastic, what gripes he has heard about Redfish and Red Snapper regulations, and with what all is going on over at the Ponderosa at Delta Marina?

LFTR Episode 76 - Now that we are settled in at home it's time to recap the summer that was! We try to walk backward through our week at home in Leavenworth. Then we talk favorites, biggest surprises, and things we'd do differently next time from our Great Lakes Summer of Song.Highlights include:* Ponderosa pines smell WONDERFUL!* If you make it easy for us, we'll buy a car. Even if we haven't driven it yet.* Jamie got another new job! (Podcasting doesn't pay the bills)* Housing costs are so, so high now.* The joy and pain of school scheduling * We zig-zagged everywhere this summer - some planned some not* This happens so much for us to go to events, see family and friends, etc.* We kept this trip despite establishing a home base in WA* No leaf peeping for us!* More challenging travel than our Alaska summer?* Humidity is evil* Favorites: upper Midwest, music and theme parks!* Surprises: Great weather at pictures rocks, unplanned Wisconsin stays and bike trails* Favorite concerts: Noah Kahan in St Paul, braving the rain with the kids at Railbird, a spiritual experience at Mt. Joy in Toronto * Do differently: one or two concert plans in a summer is enough, in fact fewer firm plans in general is nice, skip Madeline Island in June, cheap and free stuff is often more fun* We say it's quicker to go to Vancouver than Deception Pass from Leavenworth. At least with normal traffic, it's not.* Best Great Lakes summer: Minnesota North Shore, Wisconsin, Michigan including UP, Chicago, Cedar Point if you're into thatLinks:* Icicle Gorge Trail* Subaru Solterra* Our summer of song itineraryThanks for listening!
