BFH #068 What do retriever training and life's toughest challenges have in common? More than you might think. In this heartfelt conversation with CGA member Seth Vaughn, we explore how training a golden retriever named Rusty became not just about creating a hunting companion, but a journey of personal transformation and healing.Seth takes us from his Southern Illinois upbringing surrounded by outdoor pursuits to his pivotal moment witnessing a trained retriever at work in Arkansas. That experience changed everything, setting him on a path that would eventually lead to Cornerstone Gundog Academy. Through candid stories of both struggle and triumph, Seth reveals how patience during fetch-hold-release training created the foundation for Rusty's later success, and how discovering his dog's response to verbal praise unlocked new levels of confidence and drive.The conversation shifts from technical training insights to profound life lessons when Seth shares how dog training became his sanctuary during an exceptionally challenging 2023. Facing critical incidents as a police officer and his wife's serious car crash, Seth found clarity and restoration in those quiet moments working with Rusty. "Go train your dog" became more than advice—it became divine guidance that helped him navigate life's storms.With hunting stories that showcase Rusty's impressive abilities (including diving completely underwater for a duck and marking a teal at 75 yards), Seth demonstrates how solid training translates to real-world results. But perhaps the most valuable takeaway comes in his parting wisdom: "There's really only one thing that you can control—how much effort you put into it." In retriever training as in life, simply showing up consistently is the foundation of success.Ready to transform your relationship with your retriever while discovering unexpected lessons about patience, faith, and perseverance? This episode will inspire you to trust the process and train with your heart, not just your hands.

In this episode, Tate chats with Marcus Nuccio and Evan Weiss, the driving forces behind the band, Pet Symmetry, about their latest album Big Symmetry, released on May 2. Since August 2023, the record label, Storm Chaser, has been releasing one album every month, but Big Symmetry stands out as the label's most significant release yet. Marcus and Evan discuss the power of self-releasing music, as owning their own label allows them to make all the decisions and maintain complete control over their music. They also reflect on the incredible freedom this gives them, from writing and recording to collaborating with friends in the industry, such as Mike from Asian Man Records, who contributed to this release. The duo opens up about the unique writing process for Big Symmetry, which took place in a cabin in Southern Illinois. Over the course of just seven days, the band wrote 17 songs and immediately tracked the drums, marking a departure from their usual, more spread-out approach to songwriting. Lyrically, the band challenged themselves to write 12 love songs, a task that proved difficult for some members, but ultimately resulted in a more refined, confident sound. Marcus and Evan also discuss the evolution of their music, explaining how the process and the music itself reflect their growth as musicians since they first started playing together in 2012. With Pet Symmetry marking their fourth LP, the band finds themselves at a point where they can confidently call themselves veterans in the indie music scene. Their newfound confidence, along with their years of experience, has led to a tight, like-minded group of musicians who know exactly what they want out of their music careers. The episode offers an inside look at the band's journey, their creative process, and how their decisions along the way has allowed them to achieve everything they ever wanted in music. Whether you're a fan of the band or new to their music, this conversation provides valuable insights into the world of independent music and the freedom that comes with owning your art.

Cases of measles – the viral infection that can be life-threatening – have exploded across the country this year, particularly in areas with low vaccination rates.

Welcome to Episode 107 of The Ugly Quacking Duck, where we proudly embrace our status as "the worst podcast in the known universe"—because once you're the worst, you can only get better!This Star Wars Day special brings you Bruce and Sunny's unique perspective on everything from local weather patterns to global seismic activity. We kick off with our signature weather comparison between rainy Southern Illinois and sunny Phoenix, Arizona—a stark contrast that highlights how differently Mother Nature behaves across the continent. While we're dealing with 46°F temperatures and 94% humidity, Phoenix enjoys a comfortable 69°F with just 32% humidity. These weather segments connect us with listeners across different regions and provide a grounding element to our free-flowing conversation.Our earthquake report reveals some concerning trends in global seismic activity. With 1,774 earthquakes recorded worldwide in the past week alone, including four measuring above 6.0 magnitude and a massive 7.4 quake near South America, we're seeing patterns that suggest when overall earthquake counts decrease, higher-magnitude events tend to increase. This observation could potentially lead to better prediction methods, though we're still far from that reality.The News Corner segment dives into several fascinating stories you might have missed: scientists bringing back dire wolves through DNA manipulation, Sicily's ancient "white gold" tree sap being compared to biblical manna, Monty Python and the Holy Grail celebrating its 50th anniversary, and devastating sandstorms in Iraq that hospitalized thousands. These stories remind us that beyond our daily concerns, the world continues to surprise us with both scientific breakthroughs and ongoing challenges.We close with a heartfelt reminder about the importance of community in these divisive times. As Bruce says, "Every one of us bleeds. We need to stick together and pull each other up together, not push one person down to get up."Have you experienced any interesting weather phenomena in your area lately?

About the Guest:Jordan Jones is a McDonald's All-American, former Texas A&M standout, and an accomplished coach at every level — from college basketball as a defensive coordinator at Southern Illinois, to high school state champion at Faith Family Academy, to AAU coaching with Team Mo Jeff, and now a respected trainer and mentor for young athletes.Her experience on every side of the game gives her a rare and powerful perspective on what young athletes really need to succeed. Episode Summary:In this powerful episode of the It's Just Different Podcast, host Ashley Roberts sits down with Coach Jordan Jones to dig deep into the real issues shaping today's basketball culture — from recruiting and NIL hype to parenting and player development.Jordan doesn't hold back as she shares her journey as a player, college coach, state champion, AAU coach, and trainer. She challenges parents, athletes, and even other coaches to rethink what success looks like in 2025 — and why “microwave success” is doing more harm than good.This is an episode for anyone who's serious about building real players — not just highlight reels. Key Takeaways:- Microwave Success Is Dangerous — Quick hype can ruin long-term growth.- Parents Must Be Involved — Ask questions. Support. Guide.- Run Your Own Race — Every journey is different — and that's okay.- Intangibles Are Everything — Coaches want more than talent. They want energy, leadership, and coachability.- Coaching Is Bigger Than Basketball — The best coaches prepare kids for life.

A lot of people carry beliefs they never chose—rules they absorbed from family, school, or culture without even realizing it. When those patterns go unchecked, they quietly shape how kids see the world and what they think is possible. Breaking that cycle means doing the hard work of noticing what's really being passed on. It's less about giving advice and more about becoming someone worth watching.Garrett Gross is a former pro fighter from Southern Illinois who turned his life around after battling addiction. Now a father and advocate, he works with Operation 17 to fight online child exploitation. Today, Garrett shares how martial arts, faith, and strong community ties helped him rebuild. He stresses the need for men to lead with purpose, protect their families, and stay grounded in positive values. His story is one of grit, redemption, and responsibility. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond!Quotes: “Bad company corrupts good morals. He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” – Garrett Gross“God grants us gifts, but it's up to us to decide how to use them—whether for good or for harm.” – Garrett Gross“Weak men are the downfall of everything. Weak leaders and weak men have been the downfall of our civilization.” – Garrett Gross“We live in a strange world, especially for young men, where there's a tendency to label everything—often in a negative light—while fostering a false bravado around things that don't truly matter.” – Matt BeaudreauTakeaways:Audit your inner circle - who are the people influencing your daily choices and character?Start teaching your children practical life skills now, not just sports or academic achievements.Commit to personal growth by identifying one destructive habit and creating a plan to replace it with a positive behavior.Practice open, honest self-reflection about your weaknesses without shame, viewing them as opportunities for transformation.Develop a weekly accountability system with a mentor or trusted friend who will challenge you to become a better version of yourself.Conclusion:Martial arts and combat sports offer more than just physical training—they teach focus, patience, and the value of steady effort. When practiced with intention, they become a way to build character and strengthen the mind. The lessons learned on the mat often carry into daily life, shaping how we handle stress, conflict, and setbacks. At their best, these practices help individuals grow not just as athletes, but as people.

Follow us on X: @RepBost @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with U.S. Congressman Mike Bost, Chairman, House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. In the 119th Congress, Rep. Mike Bost serves on two other key committees: Transportation & Infrastructure, and Agriculture. The conversation on America's Roundtable covers key topics focusing on addressing pressing policy issues impacting American citizens and the challenges emanating from abroad including the China threat which affects the United States and its allies: — Chairman Mike Bost's leadership role at the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. — Securing America's borders | Addressing the adverse impact of fentanyl on American lives and deporting illegal immigrants involved in acts of crime and violence. Chairman Bost speaks to sheriffs in the Midwest. — President Donald Trump's economic and security policies — efforts to advance free, fair and reciprocal trade. Chairman Bost provides his insights on the proposed tariffs presented by President Trump. — Chairman Bost re-introduced the Fighting Trade Cheats Act, legislation to hold China and other bad actors accountable for unfair trade practices that destroy American jobs. His bill takes aim at companies dumping foreign-made goods in U.S. markets by allowing U.S. manufacturers to sue foreign producers for customs fraud. The Fighting Trade Cheats Act will provide necessary updates to America's existing trade laws and the penalties in place for violating them. — The 80th anniversary of the end of WWII | Victory in Europe (VE) Day on May 8 and Victory over Japan (VJ) Day on August 15. — The 80th anniversary of the allies' initial crossing of the River Rhine at Remagen, Germany. The crucial role of America's enterprises during WWII in supporting US troops and the inspiring story of Correct Craft in building boats to cross the River Rhine, the last natural barrier to Berlin. This allowed US troops to advance rapidly — breaking open Germany's defenses and hastening the defeat of the Third Reich. National Geographic later dubbed Correct Craft's incredible work as “A Miracle Production.” Chairman Bost introduced legislation to increase access to care for veterans through the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) providers in the community. The Veterans' Assuring Critical Care Expansions to Support Service members (ACCESS) Act of 2025 would establish existing community care access standards as the baseline standard of care for veterans seeking care in the community, increase access to life-saving treatment programs for veterans with mental health conditions or addiction and expand the list of criteria VA is required to take into account when determining whether it is in a veteran's best medical interest to refer a veteran to the community to include veteran preference and continuity of care. Brief Bio Rep. Mike Bost is proud to represent the 34 counties of Illinois' 12th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Sworn into office on January 6, 2015, Mike is continuing the fight for our Southern Illinois' values in Washington – a fight he began in U.S. military, then as a first responder, a local job creator, and a state representative. In the 119th Congress, Rep. Bost serves on three key committees: Veterans' Affairs, Transportation & Infrastructure, and Agriculture. On the Veterans' Affairs Committee he serves as the Chairman. Prior to his election to Congress, Rep. Bost served for two decades in the Illinois House of Representatives, rising to the leadership position of House Republican Caucus Chair. Rep. Bost also served as a firefighter for the Murphysboro Fire Department. After high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps serving his country from 1979 to 1982. He was trained as an electronic specialist and radar repairman and received an honorable discharge as a Corporal E-4. In addition to his duties as a Member of Congress, Rep. Bost is very active in his church and community. Rep. Bost and his wife, Tracy, own and operate a small business – the White House Salon – in Murphysboro.

The March Madness weekend of March 21-23, 2025, delivered thrilling action as the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament kicked off its first and second rounds. On Friday, top seeds like Auburn, Duke, Florida, and Houston asserted dominance, rolling past opponents, while the ACC struggled, with only Duke advancing past the first round. The Big Ten and SEC shone brightly, combining for half the second-round field, highlighted by Purdue's surgical win over High Point and Tennessee's knockout blow to Southern Illinois. Saturday saw upsets, including No. 10 Arkansas stunning No. 2 St. John's, ending Rick Pitino's run, while Auburn and Houston secured Sweet 16 spots with strong finishes against Creighton and Gonzaga. Sunday brought more drama: No. 1 Florida edged UConn 77-75, halting the Huskies' three-peat bid in a gritty battle, and No. 1 Duke crushed Baylor 89-66, fueled by a decisive first-half run. No. 4 Maryland stole the spotlight with a buzzer-beater to upset No. 12 Colorado State, while Arizona, led by Caleb Love's 29 points, rallied past Oregon 87-83. Kentucky also advanced, topping Illinois 84-75, setting up a Sweet 16 clash with Tennessee. The stage is set for an electrifying next round. In March 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals secured their star wide receivers, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, with lucrative long-term contracts, ensuring quarterback Joe Burrow's top targets remain in place. Chase signed a four-year, $161 million extension, making him the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback at $40.25 million annually, with $73.9 million fully guaranteed at signing and $112 million total guaranteed. His deal includes a $41.17 million base salary and roster bonuses for 2025, with cash flow structured to deliver $105 million over three years, heavily front-loaded for flexibility. Higgins, previously on a franchise tag, inked a four-year, $115 million contract, averaging $28.75 million per year, the highest for a No. 2 receiver. His deal features $30 million fully guaranteed at signing, including a $20 million roster bonus in 2025, though his $13.8 million 2025 base salary remains unguaranteed, offering the Bengals an out after one year if needed. The Bengals deviated from their traditional signing bonus-heavy structure, opting for significant guarantees to appease Burrow's public push to retain both players. While this locks in their offensive core through 2029 (Chase) and 2028 (Higgins), critics note the team could have saved millions by acting earlier, as delays inflated costs amid a rising receiver market.

Raffaella Baritono"Furore. Gli Stati Uniti verso la guerra civile"Biennale Democraziawww.biennaledemocrazia.itDomenica 30 marzo, ore 11:00Teatro Carignano, TorinoFurore. Gli Stati Uniti verso la guerra civileRaffaella Baritono, Mattia Diletti, introduce Oliviero Bergamini.UniVerso per Biennale Democrazia.Negli Stati Uniti è in corso una «guerra civile fredda»? Alcuni dati lo suggeriscono. Il tasso di fiducia nel governo è al 22% (era il 77% negli anni Sessanta), e la polarizzazione cresce a ritmi vertiginosi: in soli otto anni (2016-2024) la quota di repubblicani che considera i democratici «immorali» è cresciuta dal 47 al 72%, quella inversa dal 35 al 63%. Ricondurre tutto a Trump, comunque, sarebbe miope: il processo di frammentazione sociale è in corso da oltre mezzo secolo, con lo scandalo Watergate e la crisi del manifatturiero. Il risultato, oggi, è un'America spaccata lungo confini profondi – economici, politici, culturali. Un fenomeno sempre più difficilmente reversibile.Raffaella Baritono è professoressa ordinaria di Storia e politica degli Stati Uniti presso il Dipartimento di Scienze politiche e sociali dell'Università di Bologna.

And of course, Garrett from Southern Illinois brings his usual creative ideas—including a conspiracy theory segment and a WWE-style draft breakdown. Tune in for another late-night session of unfiltered Packers talk! To advertise on this podcast please email: ad-sales@libsyn.com Or go to:

Roadside attractions aren't always the kitschy photo op we imagine them to be. Some have a complicated history that you can't see from the side of the road. Last episode, we took a road trip to Southern Illinois to look into a metal, firebreathing dragon. Today, we're looking at a different landmark in nearby Alton: the Piasa. Unlike the Kaskaskia dragon, the Piasa has a centuries-old history that starts with the Indigenous people of what is now the Mississippi River. The Piasa — as most people know it — is a mythical creature painted on the bluffs of the Mississippi. The image depicts a winged figure with antlers, fangs and talons. It's a recreation of the original image which was destroyed in the 1850s because of quarrying on the bluffs. Through the centuries, different stories have been told about the meaning and origins behind this creature, including one that is popular but fabricated. Dr. Mark Wagner, director of the Center for Archaeological Investigations at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, talks about the layered history of the mural. Logan Pappenfort, director of tribal relations for the Illinois State Museum, talks about why it's important to uplift true cultural artifacts and says the real history behind them isn't hard to uncover if you know where to look.
