Go onto any parents group in the country and you’ll find comments about arbitrary school uniform rules. Socks falling down, no scarves in class, skirts instead of shorts, and no t-shirts underneath despite not seeing them – and that’s just what our team has seen. And that’s all before we talk about the costs that come with a compulsory uniform. The Act Party is campaigning to make school uniforms more affordable, saying some families are spending well over $1000 a year. The University of Otago’s Dr Johanna Reidy has been involved in research to find out if uniforms had an impact on education and health. She joins us today on The Front Page.

It's that time again...Dos & D Uncut!  This time we have plenty to catch up on including Dos' spontaneous (large) Thursday night, meeting the world's nicest man and D's parking troubles...which left most of our socials in disgust!  Dos found an unusual adult education class our of South Korea which prompted us to look back at the weirdest classes we've attended as adults. Nude drawing classes, bartending and paint and sips. Plus, the most bizarre ones you can find around the world like a practice funeral or how to break up class.  D got locked out of a home he was house sitting with the only way back in through the doggy door. Which led to a few classic stories of being stuck. We found some of the funniest places people have gotten stuck in and how they rather embarrassingly got themselves back out again.  All this and more on a huge episode of Uncut!    This episode is brought to you CoinSpot, Australia's most trusted Crypto trading platform.

I personally subscribe to The Economist. TOE listeners get 35% off the annual subscription. No other podcast has this! https://economist.com/TOE This is a careful lecture that can be followed with zero background knowledge. Einstein thought he'd caught quantum mechanics in an act of spookiness — this podcast asks whether he was even worried about the right thing. Tim Maudlin, professor of philosophy at NYU and a leading philosopher of physics, delivers a rare full lecture tracing Einstein, EPR, and the road to Bell's theorem. The central claim: Einstein's real objection was never determinism — "God does not play dice" is a red herring — but non-locality, which he inferred rather than assumed. Maudlin traces the argument from Einstein's overlooked 1927 Solvay objection through the EPR paper's criterion of reality, showing why Bohr's famous reply never actually answered it.

Life is an adventure of choices and consequences.Choices and consequences.I believe that with all my heart.But I do not believe that wise choices will always yield the outcome you desired.The Book of Ecclesiastes is filled with the wisdom and insights of Solomon, who had this to say in chapter nine;“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but Time and Chance happens to them all.”I agree with what Solomon wrote, so I dare not say that a wise choice will always produce the desired outcome. But I will say that in the absence of unlucky timing and plain old bad luck, good Choices usually lead to good Consequences.Vi Wickam, one of my Wizard of Ads partners, wrote 140 words last week that knocked my socks off.I am typing these words to you on a computer that sits on top of my desk. Below that desk are my bare feet.My socks are nowhere to be found.These are the 140 words that Vi Wickam wrote for American Business Secrets.Make a Decision.Many people talk about decisions, but few people understand what it really isto make a decision.Not every choice is a decision.Decide comes from the Latin words “de” – meaning OFF – and “caedere”, meaning to CUT.To decide is to Cut Off the other possibilities.Few things are as powerful as a true decision.To decide is to move in a direction and to cut off the others.To decide is to keep your focus, and to not look back.To decide is to face your fear of loss.Every decision comes with loss, and you must face it.When you face that fear, you will feel relief.You will breathe easier.To decide is to stop second guessing yourself.To decide is to move forward with clear vision, and clear purpose.Make a decision today.With American Business Secrets, I'm Vi Wickam.Do you often have to explain, justify, and defend your decisions?Me, too.These are the 3 key sentences in Vi's 140-word essay that jerked my eyes open and blew my socks away:Not every choice is a decision.To Decide is to Cut Off the other possibilities.Every decision comes with loss, and you must face it.Some people believe that if you delay long enough, a solution will arise that causes no discomfort, no inconvenience, and no awkward moments.You will find these people waiting for their luck to turn, waiting for their ship to come in, waiting for their big break, waiting to begin this long, awkward, funny, delightful and difficult Walk of Life.Roy H. WilliamsSaturday, August 1st, will mark the 150th Anniversary of Colorado's admission to the Union as the 38th state.That milestone might not seem to relevant at first glance, but your opinion will quickly change.Maxwell Rotbart reveals in his new book, “Becoming Colorado,” the Rocky Mountain territory's long struggle for statehood offers valuable lessons for today's business executives in leadership, negotiation, coalition building, crisis management, branding, and strategy.Chief rover Dean joins deputy rover Maxwell to explore the business counsel hidden within Colorado's remarkable journey to statehood.

This week's Hemp Show takes us once more back to Poland, where Maciej Kowalski gives us a tour of his vertically integrated hemp textile company in Elbląg, a small town in Northern Poland, not too far from the Baltic Sea. Today we'll let Kowalski guide us as we tour the Kombinat Konopny facility. His approach to business is straightforward: Make things people need. "What do they need? They need socks. They need beanies, they need pants, they need blouses, they need shirts, everything," Kowalski said. "The sock became like the symbol of what we're trying to achieve seven, eight years ago when we started." This episode follows Kowalski as he takes us from blending, carding, and spinning, to decortication and breaking up the bales, giving us a backwards journey from sock, to yarn, to fiber, to bale.

EPISODE SUMMARY AND KEY TAKEAWAYSTen years in the NBA. Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic. Games overseas in Italy, Greece, Turkey. And when it was all over, CJ Watson sat on his couch and asked himself one question: how do I keep giving back?That question became children's books. A foundation. Free basketball camps. A Black history essay contest with laptops and 529 plans as prizes. And now, a conversation with Bart about what it actually means to be a great human being, not just a great athlete.CJ grew up in Las Vegas with Southern hospitality baked into his bones. Yes sir. No ma'am. Look people in the eye. Give them your name and ask for theirs. He never got drafted, went overseas first, and spent every NBA season knowing it could be his last. That perspective shaped everything. He never saw himself as a celebrity. He saw himself as someone who got lucky enough to do the work.Bart and CJ unpack humanality through the lens of sports, autographs, fatherhood, and the moment a kid at a camp says "we love the book." They talk about what it means to be present, why consistency beats talent most of the time, and how a pair of unwashed orange socks from the University of Tennessee became a lesson about preparation over superstition.This one is warm, grounded, and full of the kind of humanity that makes the MPD audience forward episodes to people they love.What You Will Walk Away WithConsistency beats talent. Every time. CJ's fill-in-the-blank answer came fast: most people don't be consistent. Show up on good days and bad days. Do the work when no one is watching. That is what separates the people who make it from the people who almost did.Humanality on the court. When a fan waits hours to meet you, that moment is not about you. It is about them. Look them in the eye. Ask their name. Use it. CJ named all three steps of Humanality without being asked: I see you, be where your feet are, and just ask.Legacy is not what you keep. It is what you give away. CJ gave away his first NBA jersey. He gave away his time, his stories, his books. He started a foundation so that kids growing up in Las Vegas have resources his family had to figure out alone. You cannot take it with you. That is the whole point.The magic was never in the socks. CJ wore the same pair of unwashed orange socks every time he played well in college. But the real lesson from his children's book is the one he figured out later: it was never the socks. It was the preparation, the film study, the discipline, the showing up. The socks just gave him permission to believe in himself.Your parents are your first coaches. CJ's parents talked him out of quitting overseas. They showed up to games in college, flew to NBA cities, and built the foundation underneath him before he ever knew he needed one. His whole message to his own three daughters comes from the same place: look people in the eye, say please, say thank you, and never stop.Great dads make great leaders. The greatest feeling CJ described had nothing to do with the NBA. It was watching his daughter block a volleyball. Legacy is not built on a court. It is built in the stands.Learn more about CJ Watson and his foundation at quietstormfoundation.org and connect with CJ Watson on LinkedIn.Most People Don't. But You DO!

This episode comes to you live from our pop-up studio at the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York City. Our guest: Jason LaRose, CEO of Bombas — the brand that turned socks, underwear, and tees into a mission-powered growth machine, with more than 200 million essential clothing items donated to people experiencing homelessness. But first, the news — and in our summer biweekly format, there's plenty. Steve breaks down Nike's unimpressive quarter: revenues down, China off 12%, and an operating profit boost driven almost entirely by a nearly billion-dollar one-time tariff refund. The contrast with Levi's couldn't be sharper — under Michelle Gass, the brand posted 8% sales growth, expanding margins, and momentum across women's and tops. The winners keep winning elsewhere too. Aritzia's remarkable run continues with comps up an eye-popping 35% and digital up nearly 60%. Uniqlo parent Fast Retailing delivers 22% revenue growth from its 2,500-store global fleet. And Costco's monthly numbers offer fresh evidence of retail's Great Concentration. Then there's Kroger, acquiring regional grocery powerhouse Giant Eagle — a $9 billion revenue business bought at a strikingly low multiple. Michael and Steve debate the real question: does acquiring-to-compete solve Kroger's relevance problem, or just buy cost leverage against Walmart, Costco, and Amazon? Then it's on to Jason LaRose, who joined Bombas after leadership roles at Under Armour and Equinox. What drew him in: a genuine mission wrapped around outstanding economics — profitable essentially since day one. He traces the brand's arc from Indiegogo campaign and Shark Tank's most successful company ever to nearly $2 billion in cumulative sales, now expanding into underwear, tees, footwear, and slippers — the very items most requested in homeless shelters. LaRose also delivers a masterclass in disciplined distribution: highly curated wholesale partnerships with Target, Dick's, Nordstrom, and Scheels, each with distinct assortments for distinct customers, alongside the brand's first stores and expansion into Canada. His mantra — quality, comfort, mission, in that order — explains why repeat rates keep the funnel from leaking where so many DTC peers sprang holes. Wrapping up, on Steve's radar: a Dallas-area tour of the newly merged Container Store and Bed Bath & Beyond format (who exactly is this store for?), plus his provocative new Substack essay, "Convenience is Boring." On Michael's radar: the soon-to-open Gordie Howe Bridge, his conversation with U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, and why USMCA review limbo keeps piling uncertainty — and cost — onto businesses and consumers across North America.

In this episode, hosts Chris Armstrong and Zac Newman dive into the latest updates from the local running scene, starting with a breakdown of their recent training weeks. Chris highlights his recent work, including a solid 77km week and 8x1km intervals, as he gears up for upcoming races like the Bundoora XCR and Lakeside 10km. Zac discusses his experience racing the Calder Park Relays—an event that left both hosts questioning the choice of venue while still finding the racing element enjoyable.The conversation then shifts to the main guest, returning to the show is Jason "Jase" Smith from Oat Running.

June 16 first through 5:25 As explained in an earlier installment, the Arizal warned that putting on two articles of clothing simultaneously could have an adverse effect on a person, causing him to forget his Torah knowledge. This gives rise to the question of whether one may put on his shoes when they are inside rubbers. Often, in the winter, people take off their shoes when entering the home together with the rubbers, keeping the shoes inside the rubbers. Then, when they go back out into the snow, they simply put the shoes with the rubbers on their feet. Seemingly, this should be discouraged, as one must refrain from putting on two articles of clothing at the same time. Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank (Jerusalem, 1873-1960) cites a source claiming that the Arizal's teaching does not apply to garments made from rubber, in which case there is no concern in this regard. However, the Sitz Eliezer (Rav Eliezer Waldenberg, 1915-2006) questioned this theory, noting that there seems to be no reason to differentiate between rubber and other materials. The Arizal taught that when placing two articles of clothing at the same time, the inner garment does not receive the "Or Ha'makif" (supernal light) that surrounds garments to protect them from the harmful spiritual forces. This concern certainly appears to be relevant to rubbers no less than to garments made from other materials. Nevertheless, Hacham Ovadia ruled leniently in this regard, and allowed putting on shoes that are already inside rubbers. This is based on a comment of the Aruch Ha'shulhan (Rav Yechiel Michel Epstein of Nevarduk, 1829-1908) that the Arizal's teaching does not apply to shoes. The Aruch Ha'shulhan does not explain why shoes would differ from other garments in this regard, but Hacham Ovadia suggested that since the shoes touch the ground, which has impurity, they cannot be protected from impurity, and so they do not receive the "Or Ha'makif." Socks, however, are not treated as shoes. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) ruled that although one who touches shoes must then wash his hands, one does not require hand washing after touching his socks. Some Poskim disagree, but Halacha follows this view of the Ben Ish Hai. This lenient ruling yields a stringent conclusion with regard to the question of putting on two socks at the same time. Since socks are treated by Halacha differently than shoes, the Aruch Ha'shulhan's leniency does not apply. Therefore, one who wishes to wear two pairs of socks for extra warmth must put on one after the other, and may not wrap one sock in the other and then put them both on together.

Jenn talks about their house rules on underwear and socks with holes in them. 

You know what a five-minute task looks like when a kid doesn't want to do it? An hour-long standoff. Socks on the floor. Full dramatic collapse. And the worst part is, that kid is also missing out on the thing they actually wanted to do — playtime they could have been having — because now they're in a battle that didn't need to happen.Sound familiar? Because I do it too. Not on the floor, not with the socks, but the mechanism is exactly the same. And that's what this episode is about.Avoidance Isn't Free. We think of avoidance as a break — a little breathing room before we tackle the hard thing. But what's actually happening is we're adding every undone task to a mental backpack we carry through the entire day. The gym you meant to hit. The email you're dreading. The bill you keep not looking at. Each one is a background process running in your brain, quietly draining your energy and your focus, popping up with mild guilt every time it surfaces.Two Versions of Your Day. I walk through what it actually looks like to compare the day where you do the planned thing first versus the day where you negotiate with yourself until 10pm. The first version is done and forgotten in 30 minutes. The second version haunts you all day and you probably still don't do the thing.The ADHD Layer. For those of us with ADHD, this pattern can run deeper — the executive function piece makes it genuinely harder to initiate tasks even when we want to do them. This isn't laziness. But understanding the pattern is still the first step whether or not ADHD is part of your picture.Mel Robbins and the 5-Second Rule. I'm not here to reinvent something that's already been figured out. Mel Robbins cracked this one open with a beautifully simple move: when you feel the impulse to act, count backwards from five and go before your brain builds a case against it. It interrupts the internal committee meeting before the agenda even gets distributed.Three Concrete Moves. Name it (you can't change what you don't see), shrink it (the first 30 seconds of a task, not the whole thing), and do the countdown. That's it. You're not building a system. You're just deciding not to sit on the floor.The real payoff isn't productivity for its own sake. It's the rest you've actually earned at the end of a day where you did the thing you said you were going to do.Jill's Linkshttp://jillfromthenorthwoods.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@startwithsmallstepshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/startwithsmallstepshttps://twitter.com/schmernEmail the podcast at jill@startwithsmallsteps.comBy choosing to watch this video or listen to this podcast, you acknowledge that you are doing so of your own free will.

Socks are the #1 most requested item at homeless shelters. Dave Heath turned that single fact into Bombas — a one-for-one apparel brand that's donated over 200 million items of clothing and built a billion-dollar business along the way. What makes Dave a builder worth studying isn't just the scale; it's the discipline behind it: reverse-engineering an exceptional product from a mission, learning to test before betting, and protecting a brand as it grows.In this episode, I sit down with Dave to break down:• How he reverse-engineered an "exceptional product" from a donation mission — and brought athletic-sock innovation to the mass market• The Shark Tank breakout: from $800K to $2M in revenue in the six weeks after airing — and why ~20% of customers still affiliate Bombas with the show• The expensive lesson of expanding into adjacent products too fast — and the MVP-testing discipline that replaced it• Why the "obvious" extensions (underwear, t-shirts) underperformed while a sleeper bet (slippers) became 20% of the business• Radical-ish transparency: telling the whole company about a planned IPO and trusting adults to keep it quiet — and they did• The mark of a great founder: the self-awareness to evolve his own role as the company scaled, and how he screened his successor for humility• How Bombas is approaching AI — getting the whole company trained on Claude and Claude Code, and why building AI as a competency beat chasing shiny enterprise toolsBig thanks to Dave for coming on the pod and sharing the playbook — and the mindset — behind Bombas.⏱️ Chapter Markers:00:00 — Intro.

Send us Fan MailDr. Dave Walton from TF Voodoo joins Aaron and Peaches to break down how to actually train for rucking without wrecking your body.Dave is a retired Green Beret, doctor, rucking coach, and the brain behind TF Voodoo. In this episode, he explains why most people train for rucking wrong, why “just ruck more” is one of the fastest ways to get injured, and how to build real load carriage performance through Zone 2 cardio, strength training, progressive ruck programming, foot care, boot selection, sock selection, posture, breathing, pacing, and misery management.This episode is especially important for anyone preparing for Air Force Special Warfare, Special Forces Assessment and Selection, military selection courses, long rucks, heavy rucks, or tactical load carriage events.Dave lays out what candidates should do months before a ruck, how to build a base before adding load, why short intense rucks beat long junk-mile rucks, how to manage blisters, what to eat and drink before and during a ruck, and how to survive if you have a hard ruck coming up with limited time to prepare.Find Dave and TF Voodoo:TFVoodoo.comCheck out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comTrain with Modern Athlete Strength Systems:OnesReady.comOperator Training Summit:OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:05 - Tasty Gains and Modern Athlete Strength Systems03:11 - Welcome Dr. Dave Walton from TF Voodoo03:30 - Dave's Background in Rucking and Special Forces04:00 - Why “Just Ruck More” Is Terrible Advice05:00 - The Three Parts of Rucking Performance05:53 - Fitness, Technique, and Misery Management06:39 - Start With Zone 2 Running Before Rucking07:30 - Why Zone 2 Builds the Engine08:55 - Build to 90 Minutes of Zone 209:14 - Why Zone 2 Is Boring but Necessary10:00 - Strength Training for Rucking10:55 - Bench Press and Squat Standards11:30 - Upper Body and Lower Body Strength for Load Carriage13:00 - When to Start Actual Rucking13:30 - Field-Based Progressive Load Carriage14:28 - How Often Should You Ruck?15:00 - Start With 10 Percent of Body Weight15:56 - Short Intense Rucks Beat Long Junk Miles16:50 - Why Long Rucks Increase Injury Risk18:22 - Shut Up and Ruck and TF Voodoo Resources19:20 - Load Carriage Training Circulars20:00 - Foot Care for Tactical Athletes20:46 - Dave Does Not Have a Foot Fetish21:20 - Skin, Boots, Socks, and Insoles22:12 - Old Boots vs. Modern Rucking Boots23:00 - Heat, Friction, Moisture, and Blister Formation24:00 - Finding the Right Sock and Boot Combination25:00 - Foot Conditioning Takes Time26:00 - Mobility Screening and Ankle Mobility26:55 - Taylor Starch Is Somewhere Punching the Air27:30 - Flexibility vs. Mobility28:00 - Ruck Selection and Frame Use29:00 - Posture Under a Ruck29:30 - Strength Exercises That Actually Matter30:00 - Six Main Lifts for Tactical Athletes31:25 - Functional Strength vs. Bodybuilding32:30 - Shoulders Back and Down33:15 - Head Up and Eyes on the Horizon34:15 - Breathing Under Load35:00 - Leaning From the Ankles36:00 - Walking Fast vs. Running With a Ruck37:00 - The Ruck Shuffle38:21 - Misery Management and Strap Adjustment39:30 - Hip Belt, Waist Belt, and Load Transfer40:43 - Why You Should Use the Hip Belt42:02 - How to Find Your Iliac Crest42:30 - Sternum Strap and Shoulder Strap Management44:00 - Why Ruck Setup Is Individual44:44 - Unit Ruck Training and Avoiding Injuries46:22 - Free TF Voodoo Training Circulars47:00 - What to Do If You Have a Ruck Tomorrow47:30 - Hydration, Fueling, and Carbs48:30 - Nerd Clusters and Snickers for Ruck Fuel49:30 - How Much Water to Drink During a Ruck50:39 - Fueling During a Zulu Course Refire51:23 - Eat and Drink Before You Think You Need It51:45 - Warm Up Before the Ruck52:20 - Cadence and 180 Beats Per Minute53:15 - Music, Pacing, and Ruck Rhythm55:34 - Liner Socks, KT Tape, and Hot Spots56:30 - Why Duct Tape Is a Bad Idea57:47 - Taping Feet Before Blisters58:23 - Moleskin, Donuts, and Blister Management01:01:16 - Boot Lacing for Hot Spots01:02:20 - Packing the Ruck Correctly01:03:20 - Mental Prep and Not Quitting01:04:10 - Ruck Pacing Strategy01:04:37 - Don't Start Too Fast01:05:00 - Physiological Sigh and Breathing Reset01:07:00 - Arm Swing and Maintaining Pace01:08:30 - Shuffle, Fast Walk, and When Not to Run01:10:21 - Why Stopping Can Break Momentum01:10:55 - Final Thoughts from Dave01:11:41 - TF Voodoo Resources and Rucking Handbook01:12:40 - ClosingSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Send us Fan MailAaron jumps on solo for a serious episode about the reported Air Force Special Warfare Zulu course ruck event, why it matters, and what candidates need to understand right now.This episode focuses on reports of a heavy evaluated ruck in the Zulu course, including a 10-mile ruck with roughly 100+ pounds, a 15-minute pace standard, full uniform and equipment requirements, Texas heat and humidity, medical concerns, heat casualties, and the larger question of whether the event is operationally valid, properly risk-managed, and appropriately messaged to candidates before they arrive.Aaron also talks directly to future Air Force Special Warfare candidates: if this event exists in the pipeline, you need to prepare differently. Running still matters, but rucking, foot conditioning, equipment setup, hydration, recovery, pacing, boots, socks, and load management now matter even more.This is not about making the pipeline easy. This is about standards, safety, professionalism, validated training, instructor accountability, and making sure candidates are prepared for the events they are actually going to face.Train with us:OperatorTrainingSummit.comAFSOC prep programming:OnesReady.comCheck out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comChapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:00 - Aaron Opens With a Serious Message01:30 - The Problem With the Zulu Course02:00 - Why Ones Ready Initially Supported Zulu02:58 - Calling Out a Failure at Chapman Training Annex03:30 - Messages From Parents, Students, and Sources04:10 - Don't Call Peaches, Talk to Aaron05:00 - Accountability for Leadership and Instructors06:00 - The Reported Zulu Ruck Standard06:45 - OFT and SOCOM Ruck Standards Compared07:47 - Block Two and Block Four Ruck Progression08:30 - Why Ones Ready Is Speaking Up09:15 - Helping Candidates When Official Messaging Fails10:12 - Is This Event Operationally Valid?11:00 - What Requirement Does This Ruck Actually Test?12:00 - Could the Instructors Pass Their Own Event?13:00 - Testing Events Before Students Do Them14:54 - Weather, Heat, and Texas Conditions16:00 - Instructor Responsibility and Professional Standards17:18 - Aaron Challenges Instructors to Prove Him Wrong18:00 - Candidate Warning: Your Ruck Volume Is Not High Enough18:45 - Rucking, Foot Conditioning, and Equipment Setup19:45 - What Candidates Need to Know About the Practice Ruck21:00 - Why the Practice Ruck Matters22:11 - The Human Performance Problem23:00 - Take the Practice Ruck Seriously24:00 - Straps, Socks, Boots, and Load Management25:30 - The Evaluated Ruck Event26:51 - Texas Heat, Humidity, and Full Uniform Concerns28:30 - Reported Heat Casualties and Medical Coverage Issues30:00 - Was the Event Worth the Risk?31:31 - Aaron's Open Challenge to the Training Wing32:15 - Medical Planning and Heat Injury Concerns33:00 - Refire Numbers and Course Attrition Concerns33:56 - When Someone Should Have Called Knock It Off35:00 - Safety Calls, Training Events, and Instructor Judgment36:17 - Training Deaths and Why This Matters37:00 - Safety Concerns Should Never Be Shamed39:00 - Respecting Knock-It-Off Calls40:15 - Candidates Must Hydrate and Recover Aggressively41:01 - No More Trash Recovery Habits42:15 - Refire Ruck and San Antonio Forecast43:22 - Heat Index and Refire Conditions45:00 - Why This Standard Does Not Match the Rest of the Force45:51 - What a Better Heavy Ruck Event Could Look Like47:00 - Ones Ready Supported Zulu, But This Has to Change48:14 - Accountability If Students Were Hospitalized49:00 - Why This Episode Had to Happen50:00 - Final Message to Instructors and Candidates50:42 - Sponsors and ClosingSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Shane Waters and Gemma Hoskins close out their reunion by going down the list of the people who appeared in the Netflix documentary The Keepers, where they are today, who is still fighting, who has found peace, and who the world has lost. It is a warm, reflective conversation about the unsolved 1969 murder of Sister Catherine Ann Cesnik, the young School Sister of Notre Dame who taught English and drama at Archbishop Keough High School in Baltimore, and about the community of survivors, investigators, journalists, and filmmakers her case brought together.The Investigators and AdvocatesGemma gives an honest update on her own life, recovering from a broken hip, stepping back from the day-to-day advocacy, and finding peace in a quiet home in the woods. She talks about her fellow amateur investigator Abbie Schaub, who remains active in the legislative fight and helps run the official Keepers community online.The SurvivorsShane and Gemma share where the survivors are now. Jean Hargadon Wehner, known as "Jane Doe" in the case, is doing meaningful work and published her memoir, Walking with Aletheia. Teresa Lancaster, "Jane Roe, " became an attorney and a leading public voice for survivors, helped pass Maryland's 2023 Child Victims Act, and wrote her memoir, Safe in Socks. Donna testified in Annapolis for the Child Victims Act and helped get Father Neil Magnus added to a public list of credibly accused clergy. They also remember Charles Franz and several of Sister Cathy's former students, including Kathy Hoback, the student Sister Cathy once shielded from Father Maskell, who passed away thispast year.The Journalists and ExpertsThey remember journalist Bob Erlandson of the Baltimore Sun, who covered the case as it happened and died this past year at 94, and renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Werner Spitz, who died in 2024 at 97. Shane and Gemma also revisit Delegate C.T. Wilson, the abuse survivor who championed the Child Victims Act, and journalist Tom Nugent, whose reporting first brought the case back into the light.The FilmmakersGemma catches listeners up on the team behind The Keepers, director Ryan White, producer Jessica Hargrave, and cinematographer John Benham, whose work since the series includes the Oscar-nominated, Peabody-winning documentary Come See Me in the Good Light. And, of course, they give a nod to Kim, who edits this very podcast.What Comes NextShane and Gemma agree to keep going as the story unfolds, and invite listeners to suggest the people they would still like to hear from.Content WarningThis episode discusses clergy abuse and violence.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is The Keepers about?The Keepers is a 2017 Netflix documentary series about the unsolved 1969 murder of Sister Catherine Cesnik, a Baltimore nun and teacher, and the allegations of abuse at Archbishop Keough High School that may be connected to her death.Who were Jane Doe and Jane Roe?Jean Hargadon Wehner was known as "Jane Doe" and Teresa Lancaster as "Jane Roe, " two survivors whose accounts were central to The Keepers.

On paper, Nick Reiner is the sole beneficiary of a trust worth more than $1.5 million. In reality, the newest filing in the Nick Reiner trust fund fight says he petitioned a judge partly so he can buy socks. This one starts with the smallest number in the file — the $300 cap on a jail commissary account at Twin Towers that, per the petition, was promised funding and never received a single deposit — and climbs all the way up to the biggest battle in this case outside the murder charges themselves.The petition accuses the trustee of offering “a shifting series of excuses and justifications” for withholding a payout the trust calls mandatory and unconditional. First he reportedly couldn't access the accounts. Then came “concerns” about Nick's competence — without a court order or a doctor's finding behind them. Then the shadow of California's slayer statute. Meanwhile, the filing claims, the consultant brought in to evaluate Nick is being paid presumably out of Nick's own funds — the fight over the money is literally being billed to the money.We break down everything he's actually asking for — the overdue age-30 distribution plus every dollar of interest since 2023, the age-35 money released early, damages from the trustee for breach of trust — and we're honest about which of those asks the law actually supports. Where it leans his way will surprise you. Where it doesn't might surprise you more. And through all of it, one image refuses to leave: a man staring down possible capital charges, heir on paper to Hollywood money, asking a court for hygiene products. True Crime Today follows the file — even when it goes somewhere nobody's comfortable.LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hey friend, welcome back to Real Life Conversations from the Porch! This week's episode came straight from a real moment in my own life — and honestly, I think it might hit a little close to home for you too.I'm coming to you fresh off a beautiful camping weekend with Farmer Dale, and I wanted to share something I've been sitting with: the idea that the little things are never really just about the little things.It started with my sock drawer.Yep — you heard that right. My sock drawer had quietly become a mess over the last six to eight months. Socks separated from their pairs, things tossed about, worn-out ones taking up space long past their time. And every time I opened that drawer, something inside me cringed. Maybe you know that feeling. Maybe it's a drawer in your bathroom, your kitchen, your garage.Here's what I've come to understand: that cringe isn't you being dramatic. Research tells us that our brains are constantly scanning our environment and registering disorder — even when we're not consciously aware of it. That low-grade irritation you feel when the mail piles up, the laundry sits in the basket too long, or the friend you've been meaning to call keeps getting pushed to the back burner? Those are signals. And they're trying to get your attention.When the manageable things start slipping, it's almost always a sign that something bigger is going on underneath.So what do we do with that? We pause. We bring it to the surface. We notice it without shame — because grace is always the way.In this episode, I also share how the 90-Day Reset built into the Real Life Process was made for exactly these moments — and why we need resets in small ways (weekly), medium ways (quarterly), and big ways (annually) to keep our lives from owning us instead of the other way around.And there's an exciting announcement! This fall, I'm opening up the farm — Farmer Dale's family farm right here in Southern Illinois — for a very small, very intentional Real Life Living Farm Experience. Think a handful of people, beautiful fall scenery, and real space to breathe and reset. If you want to be the first to know when dates are set, reply with the word FARM wherever you're finding me, or email me directly at teresa@thereallifeprocess.com.

Clean energy is one of the most powerful tools we have to fight climate change. Solar, wind, hydro  -  every kilowatt of clean power pushes fossil fuels a little further out the door. The big picture matters. And so do the small choices you make every day. This week's tip comes from the 5 Rs of Sustainability. The second one is Reduce. You don't have to go off the grid to make a difference. Just use less. Turn off lights you don't need. Buy fewer things you don't use. Cut back where you can. Small reductions add up fast  -  and they cost you nothing. Your wallet and the planet will both thank you. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

River replied to my question, "how does the podcast make your life better?"Marc, Your music and podcasts have helped me through so many parts of my life! Without knowing it, you have seen me through multiple deaths in my family, broken relationships, moving from one state to another, and multiple surgeries. Of course you have also been there through the many good times, such as meeting my awesome wife and the birth of our daughter! I found your podcast back in 05 or 06 while living in Florida by chance and became an instant fan. It took no time for me to download all of your music and the Brobdingnagian Bards music I could! Congratulations on over 20 years of podcasting and (if my math is right) about 3 decades of music! Keep up the amazing work! Your Constant Listener, ~River" Woodland Folk sent a picture of a fiddler. Is that Woodland Folk? He didn't say, but thank you for the photo! Cristen Y messaged on Patreon: "Greetings! I found a few resources on my own about keening! Not sure if you know about these folks but there is a great podcast I found called Candlelit Tales. The hosts tell Irish stories and then discuss them afterwards; they talked about keening on their March 15, 2020 episode titled "Whelans Live  -  Queen of the Banshee" in case you want to check it out :) I appreciate you!"
